Council President Derrick Quinney December 17, 2009
and Council Members
10th Floor City Hall
Lansing, Michigan 48933-1694
Dear President Quinney and Council Members:
We are pleased to submit the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of
Lansing, Michigan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Responsibility for both the
accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all
disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed
data are accurate in all material respects and are reported in a manner designed to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations government wide and of the various
funds of the City.This management assurance is supported by a comprehensive system of
internal controls designed to reasonably ensure that assets of the City are protected from
loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow
for the preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such controls include appropriate policies and procedures,
ongoing risk assessment, and monitoring and review processes which are communicated
throughout City operations. Disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an
understanding of the City's financial activities have been included.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the Management Discussion
and Analysis and should be read in conjunction with it. The Management Discussion and
Analysis can be found immediately following the Independent Auditor Report
The financial reporting entity (the City) includes all of the funds of the primary
government (i.e., the City as legally defined), as well as its blended component units.
Blended component units,although legally separate entities,are, in substance, part of the
SULPDU\JRYHUQPHQW¶VRSHUDWLRQVDQGDUHLQFOXGHGDVSDUWRIWKHSULPDU\JRYHUQPHQW
The Lansing Building Authority is a blended component unit. Discretely presented
component units are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements
to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government and to
differentiate their financial position and results of operations from those of the primary
government. The Lansing Entertainment & Public Facilities Authority, Tax Increment
Finance Authority, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and the Lansing Regional
SmartZone are reported as discretely presented component units.
-iv-
-v-
The City of Lansing provides a full range of services, including police and fire
protection; sanitation services; the construction and maintenance of highways, streets,
sewers, and infrastructure; recreational activities and support for human services and
cultural events.
Serving as Michigan's capital since 1848, Lansing was incorporated in 1859 and
operates under provisions of Public Act 279 of 1909, as amended (the "Home Rule City
Act"). The City is located in the lower middle of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and
operates under a strong Mayor form of government established by 1978 Charter revision.
It is a mature core City with a population of 119,286 according to revised 2000 Census
figures.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF LANSING 2008/2009
The year 2008/2009 year will certainly go down in history as one of the most tumultuous
in American history, with a near total collapse of the global financial system in the fall of
2008 and the beginning of the Great Recession. The stock market fell some 50%.
Nationally, unemployment soared to near 10% and the state of Michigan’s
unemployment spiked to near 18% before leveling off at just above 15%, still the nation’s
highest level for four straight years. Of course, in addition to federal bailouts of the
financial system, General Motors (GM) also slipped into bankruptcy and was bailed out
by the federal government as was Chrysler. Finally, state government continued to
hemorrhage revenue both from an income and sales tax perspective, requiring additional
mid-year budget cuts that included further cuts to municipal revenue sharing as well as
the institution of six state employee unpaid furlough days.
But as they say on the stock exchange, even in a bad market, there are great buys. And a
great buy is the city of Lansing. This year, Richard Florida, considered the international
guru of urban development and author of “Rise of the Creative Class” was quoted on
NPR radio as saying (to paraphrase), “…in Michigan, two nice towns are leading the
way- Ann Arbor and Lansing.”
In Forbes magazine, they listed the top 50 worst cities in America for job creation.
Unfortunately, over ten of those cities in the nation were from Michigan, but Lansing was
NOT on that list.
FACTS:
1) In four years of economic development, our current records show that 77
incentivized projects in Lansing have created or will create approximately 4000
jobs and nearly $600 million in private investment. The remarkable points of this
historic record are:
-vi-
a. The projects range from high-tech development to biotech to corporate
headquarters to traditional manufacturing.
b. So many of these projects have involved the rehabilitation of abandoned
and distressed buildings and properties in the city- scores of them.
2) Greater Lansing’s unemployment level rose several points but remained stable at
13%, well below the state average.
3) Between 2005 and 2008, Lansing’s GDP grew by 9.2%, second highest in the
state of Michigan, only behind Kalamazoo’s increase of 11.2%. As a comparison,
Grand Rapids’ growth was 5.5% and Ann Arbor was at 3.2%.
4) The city of Lansing’s credit rating remained at AA+, tied with several other cities
as the best in the state.
5) Jackson National announced moving 150 positions from Colorado to the city of
Lansing’s southside. These positions were previously going to be re-assigned to
Nashville. This is in addition to Jackson National’s approximately 27% increase
in employment over just the last several years, adding hundreds of new employees
to the city.
6) Blue Cross will be announcing that their Delta Township campus will close and
move to downtown Lansing, bringing 250 jobs with them to the city.
7) The $182 million privately funded Accident Fund national headquarters
construction project remains in progress, promising to create 500 new jobs in the
downtown.
8) The new $45 million state-funded Michigan State Trooper building construction
is near completion and is set to accommodate 510 employees to the city who are
currently located outside of the city. In addition, 110 troopers are now moved in
to the city in other downtown buildings and an additional 170 will also move in.
These jobs are all downtown.
9) The new $1.6 million city market construction project, paid for by developer Pat
Gillespie, is underway as well as a $3.2 million CMI grant improvement to the
downtown riverfront.
10)Altogether, the Accident Fund project, the riverfront, the new city market, the
new water chiller plant downtown, the new Troppo building soon to be under
construction represent $188 million of new construction under way- now. $187
million of this is covered by Project Labor Agreements (PLA), so that local, union
work is 100% performed, providing for higher living wages and taxes paid to the
city. Literally, nearly a thousand construction workers are working on these sites.
11)The Lansing Delta Township car assembly plant, the world’s newest and most
advanced car assembly plant for GM, is again ramping up to three full shifts as
are the surrounding auto supplier plants that, for the most part, are located in the
city as well as the assembly plant. In part, this is because this plant will become
the new home to the Chevy Traverse, moved from Tennessee. The Lansing Grand
River assembly plant, a five year old state-of-the-art car assembly plant in the
city, has only one shift operating, but it is making the highly popular Cadillac
brand with new models coming out for next year.
-vii-
12)Many state employees, in the tens of thousands, work in the city. It is expected
that the state’s 09/10 state budget, to be adopted Oct 1, will NOT include
substantial employee furlough days or significant layoffs. This is very significant
in that this issue could have greatly impacted city income tax revenue and the
small business community in downtown.
13)We are completing the successful re-financing of the TIFA bonds, which should
save the city a potential $15 million cost of covering the bond debt of the TIFA.
It is also important to note that the city serves as a downtown home to the nation’s largest
law school, Cooley Law School, which reports continued steady enrollment at 3,200,
while Michigan State University, whose enrollment has increased from 40,0000 to 47,000
over the last ten years, is located just two miles away in East Lansing. IBM also opened
the first phase of a new software development facility, promising 1500 direct and indirect
jobs, on MSU’s campus and MSU continues to proceed with planning for the world’s
leading $550 million Facility for Rare Isotope Beam (F-RIB) particle cyclotron research
facility, scheduled to begin construction in 2010. Auto Owners Insurance, located two
miles to the west of the city in Delta Township, also will soon be announcing an
expansion of their national headquarters. This $103 million project, set to begin
construction in 2011, will create 800 new jobs. During the year, Demmer manufacturing
experienced a modest roller coaster in manufacturing and employment levels, but topped
out at 1500 more employees than what it maintained four years ago.
We find through research, typically, whether the company is located in the city or not,
city resident employment of those individual firms, like Auto Owners (out of city) or
Jackson National (in city), makes up 40%+ of the total employment of a business. Of
course, this is a major point because the city collects a local income tax.
OBSTACLES:
1) Credit crisis. The banking industry, as a whole, is not making real estate loans
and the prognosis is not favorable for this situation to ease over the next two
years. Credit has been impossibly tightened on small businesses allowing for
very limited if any growth. But hardest hit are the manufacturers of Michigan,
auto related or not, who cannot receive loans from the banking industry. This
critical situation has not been relieved or effectively addressed by government
programs or stimulus activities. One local bank has been taken over by FDIC,
Irwin Union. But with $50 billion of bad commercial loans coming due in
2010 across the national banking industry, no doubt, a secondary, severe crisis
looms.
2) Retail remains very flat with 25% vacancy rates common along commercial
strips, especially in south Lansing and the commercial corridors of the
surrounding townships while 50% vacancy rates are reported at one major
mall in a surrounding township. The other major mall, owned by General
Growth Properties, seems to be fairing better from a vacancy rate perspective,
but it is in bankruptcy. A third, newer mall appears to be holding its own with
relatively low vacancy rates. The city’s size and diversity in overall economic
-viii-
sectors will, ironically, help it buck economic trends, while some surrounding
townships are almost solely dependent upon retail and housing markets
making them very susceptible to future, poor performing economic trends.
3) State of Michigan. It appears, at this time, that there will be limited state
furlough days or employee layoffs at the state level as part of their 09/10
budget to be adopted October 1. This is a critical factor in that many of these
employees work in the city, thus having an impact on both city income tax
revenue and on the small business community downtown. However, the city
should anticipate significant reduction in state revenue sharing for local
municipalities. Finally, while many studies seem to indicate that government
is a growth industry, I do not believe in this analysis. I anticipate a stagnant to
shrinking job market in state and local government over the next five years at
least, stimulus or not.
4) Manufacturing/General Motors. While the federal bailout and bankruptcy of
GM and Chrysler are national disasters and nothing short, Lansing stands to
be a winner out of the situation. GM’s two and newest car assembly plants are
located in the city and, no doubt, are seen as consolidation points for the
current and next generation of car making and supplier activity.
5) The city itself is at approximately 24% poverty level and the Lansing schools
continue to struggle in a variety of measurements, though there are slight
improvements in some testing areas. Regardless, it is imperative that
economic development continue to not focus on one particular industry, but to
attempt to assist all sectors of the economy, so that all people are afforded job
opportunities. But it is equally imperative that Lansing citizens take it upon
themselves to seek out job re-training programs and to re-emphasize the
highest educational aspirations as possible for themselves and, their children.
Truly, a person without a high school degree and additional higher education
will experience an accelerating disadvantage as far as competition for jobs.
6) Census. I believe that there is a mass exodus of people leaving the state of
Michigan due to job losses. This will drive a continued decline in retail
development. I also believe that the city of Lansing and the Lansing region
will fair relatively well within the context of this exodus, but because other
cities and regions will drop more dramatically than our own plateau.
Regardless, it is imperative that the region seek a comprehensive solution to
economic development. That solution must be focused on urban
core/downtown development of Lansing and East Lansing while more
tangibly encouraging and connecting Michigan State University to these two
centers. The only way for regional townships to truly grow in population and
business activity is if the two cities, particularly the downtowns, rapidly grow
into a national cosmopolitan environment. If that singular, regional economic
goal is established and embraced by the private sector, as has been recently
demonstrated for the first time in fifty years, all other successful economic
development for townships and counties will automatically fall right into line-
a line of growth.
-ix-
CONCLUSION: 98% of cities across the Midwest would do anything to be the city of
Lansing and the Lansing region, right now. Our assets include:
1) One of the world’s largest universities in MSU- two miles away from
Lansing.
2) The nation’s largest and most diverse law school in Cooley- in downtown
Lansing.
3) The state’s fourth largest community college- in downtown.
4) Multiple, growing national headquarters for insurance companies- in the city.
5) GM’s finest and most technologically advanced car assembly plants in the
world- in the city.
6) The capitol and state government.
7) An international port at the airport.
8) IBM, F-RIB, Auto Owners, Jackson National, Accident Fund all building and
expanding on a national scale.
9) Home to one of the nation’s most successful Class A professional ball teams-
in downtown.
10)Multiple professional and amateur theaters and its own symphony- downtown.
11)A globally successful Broadway venue in the Wharton Center along with Big
Ten sporting events and national championship caliber games.
Any city would kill to have one or two of these assets. With a new generation of people
and business now demanding an urban environment for living and working, the fifty year
tide has turned for urban revitalization. Tough times remain and people and business are
hurting, but the city of Lansing is truly poised for a remarkable and historic period of
economic diversity and growth. The sleeping giant is awakening.
OTHER INFORMATION
Budgeting Controls. The objective of the City's budgetary controls is to ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved
by City Council. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system, whereby
purchase orders amounts are deducted from the available budget, as one technique of
accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbered amounts lapse at year end and require
Council approval to be carried forward to the ensuing fiscal year for amounts greater than
$5,000 or greater than eight months old. The budget is adopted at the activity level
within each department.
Risk Management. The City carries all-risk coverage on all real and business personal
property. The total coverage is $485 million with a $25,000 self insured retention.
Workers Compensation is self insured with excess reinsurance coverage for claims
exceeding $500,000 from the State Accident Fund. The City carries liability coverage in
the amount of $16 million per occurrence.
-x-
Independent Audit. State statutes require an annual audit by independent certified public
accountants. The accounting firm of Rehmann Robson, was selected by the City's Audit
Committee. In addition to meeting requirements set forth in State statutes, the audit also
was designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Single Audit Act of 1984 and
related OMB Circular A-133. The auditor's report on the general-purpose financial
statements and schedules is included in the financial section of this report.
Awards. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. This was the 31st
consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded
a Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report satisfied both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
The Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine
its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments. The preparation of this comprehensive annual financial report, on a
timely basis, was made possible by the dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance
Department. Each member of the department has our sincere appreciation for their
contributions made in the preparation of this report and in the financial management of
the City. The 31st consecutive GFOA award, recognizing their efforts, is well deserved
indeed.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lansing, Michigan, as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2009ZKLFKFROOHFWLYHO\FRPSULVHWKH&LW\¶VEDVLFILQDQFLDOVWDWHPHQWVDVOLVWHGLQ
the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Lansing¶V
management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Lansing, Michigan, as of June 30, 2009, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the budgetary comparisons for the
General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated

financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements and other matters, in a separately issued single audit report. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this
report in considering the results of our audit.

the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However,
we did not audit this information and do not express an opinion on it.

applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on
them.
As discussed in Note 3-J to the financial statements, the beginning net assets of the governmental

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The management of the City of Lansing, Michigan (“the City”) provides this narrative overview
and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 for the
benefit of the readers of these financial statements. This management’s discussion and analysis
(“MD&A”) is intended to assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues and provide
an overview of the City’s financial activity. The City encourages the readers to consider the
following information here in conjunction with the financial statements taken as a whole, which
follow this section.
HIGHLIGHTS
x The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $443.8 million
(reported as net assets). Component units of the City reported a deficit of net assets of $36.0
million, a decrease of $2.6 million from the previous year. This deficit is planned to be
covered by future tax revenue captures in the TIFA and Brownfield Component Units.
x As of the close of the fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $32.6 million. Of this, $31.0 million is reported as unreserved fund balance.
While reported as “unreserved” on the face of the Government-Wide Governmental fund
Balance Sheet, $17.6 million of the $31.0 million is designated for use in FY 2009/2010, and
$4.1 is restricted in accordance with State laws, local ordinances, and trust restrictions,
leaving $9.3 million as undesignated.
x At the end of the fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $3.6 million,
a decrease of $1.2 million. General Fund expenditures came in $2,154,215 more than
revenues. Unreserved/undesignated fund balance decreased by $1,267,020, or 26.2%.
x The business-type activities reported net assets at year-end of $228.6 million, an increase of
$1.9 million during the year.
x The City’s total debt was $268.2 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $4.3 million (or
1.6%), which represents the net difference between new issuances, and payments and
refunding of outstanding debt. During the year, the City issued debt of $24.6 million of
limited tax general obligation bonds for its Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) abatement
project. More detailed information regarding these activities and funds can be found in
footnote 3-G, Long Term Debt which begins on page 50.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This MD&A is an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, which comprise three
components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes
to the financial statements. This report also contains other required supplementary information in
addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide Statements (Reporting the City as a Whole) These statements include all
non-fiduciary assets and liabilities, but exclude assets and liabilities related to pensions. The
Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities are two financial statements that report
information about the City, as a whole, and about its activities, which provide measurements of
long term trends that should help answer this question: Is the City, as a whole, better off or worse
off as a result of this year’s activities? Unlike the governmental funds, the current year’s revenues
and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid, known as “full
accrual accounting”.
-4-
The Statement of Net Assets (page 13) presents all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as “net assets”. Over time, increases and decreases in net
assets are an indicator of whether the City’s long term financial position is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities (pages 14 and 15) presents information showing how the City’s net
assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as
the underlying events giving rise to the change occur, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Therefore, revenues and expenses are reported in these statements for some items that will
only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused
vacation leave).
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report three activities, as follows:
x Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported under this category.
Property taxes, income taxes, and intergovernmental revenues generally fund these services.
The Council (legislative branch), the District Court (judicial branch), and general operations
of the executive branch departments, such as police, fire, parks, public works, and staff
departments fall within the governmental activities.
x Business-type Activities – The City charges fees to customers to help cover all or most of the
cost of certain services it provides. Sewage collection and treatment and commercial area
parking are examples of business-type activities.
x Discretely Presented Component Units – Component units are legally separate organizations
for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. The
City has four such discretely presented units; the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities
Authority, the Tax Increment Finance Authority, the Brownfield Redevelopment, and the
Lansing Regional SmartZone.
These financial statements include two schedules (pages 17 and 18) that reconcile the amounts
reported on the governmental fund financial statements (modified accrual accounting) with
governmental activities (full accrual accounting) on the appropriate government-wide statements.
The following summarizes the impact of transitioning from modified accrual to full accrual
accounting:
x Capital assets used in governmental activities are not reported on governmental fund
statements.
x Certain revenues that are earned, but not available for use within the reporting period, are
reported as revenues for governmental activities, but are reported as deferred revenue on the
governmental fund statements.
x Other long-term assets that are not available to pay for current period expenditures are
deferred in governmental fund statements, but not deferred on the government-wide
statements.
x Internal service funds are reported as governmental activities, but reported as proprietary
funds in the fund financial statements.
-5-
x Bond issuance costs, discounts and premiums in the issuance of long term debt, are reported
as expenditures in governmental fund statements, but are capitalized and amortized in the
government-wide statements.
x Unless due and payable, long-term liabilities, such as capital lease obligations, compensated
absences, litigation, and others only appear as liabilities in the government-wide statements.
x Capital outlay spending in excess of capitalization thresholds are recorded as capital assets
on the government-wide statements, but are reported as expenditures on the governmental
fund statements.
x Bond and note proceeds result in liabilities on the government-wide statements, but are
recorded as other financing sources on the governmental fund statements.
x Certain other outflows, such as debt service principal payments, represent decreases in
liabilities on the government-wide statements, but are reported as expenditures on the
governmental fund statements.
The Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a
full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The notes can be found beginning on page 31 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements (Reporting the City's Major Funds)
The City’s Major Funds are identified as its Sewage Disposal Fund, and it’s Parking System
Fund, along with its General Fund. The major fund financial statements begin on page 16. In
addition to major funds, individual fund data for the nonmajor funds begins on page 69. A fund is
a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that the City uses to keep track
of specific sources of funding and spending for a particular purpose.
x Governmental funds -- Most of the City's basic services are reported in the governmental
funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at
year-end that are available for future spending. The governmental fund financial statements
provide a detailed short-term view of the City's general government operations and the basic
services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are
greater or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's
programs. These funds are reported using modified accrual accounting, which measures cash
and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. Governmental funds
include the General Fund and special revenue, capital project, debt service, and permanent
funds.
x Proprietary funds -- When the City charges customers for the services it provides, whether
to outside customers or to other agencies within the City, these services are generally
reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service) utilize full
accrual accounting; the same method used by private sector businesses. Enterprise funds
report activities that provide supplies and services to the general public. Examples are the
Sewage Disposal Fund and the Parking Fund. Internal service funds are reported as
governmental activities on the government-wide statements.
-6-
x Fiduciary Funds -- The City acts as a trustee or fiduciary, for its employee pension plans. It
is also responsible for other assets that, because of a trust arrangement, can be used only for
the trust beneficiaries. The City's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of
Fiduciary Net Assets and Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets beginning on page 26. These
funds, which include pension and other employee benefit funds, are reported using full
accrual accounting. The government-wide statements exclude fiduciary fund activities and
balances because these assets are restricted in purpose and do not represent spendable assets
of the City to finance its operations.
Additional Required Supplementary Information
Following the basic financial statements is additional Required Supplementary Information that
further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. The Required
Supplementary Information includes required pension and other postemployment benefit
supplementary information.
Other Supplementary Information
Other supplementary information includes combining financial statements for nonmajor
governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. These funds are added together, by fund type, and
presented in single columns in the basic financial statements, but are not reported individually, as
with major funds, on the governmental fund financial statements.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT AS A WHOLE
The City’s combined net assets decreased $.4 million over the course of this fiscal year’s
operations to a total of $443.8 million. The net assets of the governmental activities decreased
$3.3 million or 1.5% and business-type activities increased $2.9 million or 1.3%.

The largest component (84.9%) of the City’s net assets reflects its investment in capital assets
(e.g. land, buildings, equipment, infrastructure, and others), less any related debt outstanding that
was needed to acquire or construct the assets. Restricted net assets are the next largest
component, comprising 8.2%, is subject to external restrictions such as bond covenants, City
Charter, State legislation or Constitutional provision. The remaining portion, unrestricted net
assets are resources that may be used at the City’s discretion, but often have limitations based on
policy action.
The following condensed financial information was derived from the government-wide Statement
of Activities and reflects how the City’s net assets changed during the fiscal year:

Governmental Activities:
The following chart depicts revenues of the governmental activities for the fiscal year:
Property taxes comprised 26.4% of Governmental Activities revenue, with $2,030,071
representing debt service on voted unlimited tax- general obligation debt. The City’s operating
millage is currently 15.01 mills. In accordance with Charter and State Constitutional provisions,
the City may levy up to 19.1692 mills for operations in FY 2010.
Income taxes comprised 19.8% of Governmental Activities revenue which fully appears within
the General Fund. Local income tax rates are prescribed by State law, and limited in Lansing’s
case to 1% of resident income and 0.5% of the income of persons working in the City, but living
outside of its corporate boundaries. Income tax revenue decreased $1.85 million, due to economic
conditions.
State shared revenue is collected by the State of Michigan and distributed to local governments
by formula allocation of portions of the State sales tax and motor fuel and weight taxes.
General government operating grants increased $2.4 million, while public safety operating grants
increased $3.9 million.
-9-
The following chart depicts expenses of the governmental activities for the fiscal year:
Business-type Activities
Net assets of the business-type activities increased by $1.9 million during the fiscal year.
The Sewage Disposal System Fund net assets increased by $1.3 million. This is primarily a result
of funding for capital costs of the combined sewer separation project. Sewage system revenues
are expected to increase by 4% per year over the next five years to continue this 30 year project.
Within nonmajor funds, Cemeteries and Golf remain subsidized by the General Fund.
The City of Lansing is continuing its five year plan to eliminate the unrestricted net asset deficit
in the Golf Fund.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As the City completed the fiscal year, its governmental funds reported fund balances of $32.6
million. Of this total amount, $25.4 million constitutes unreserved unrestricted fund balance,
which is available for appropriation for the general purposes of the City. This includes $5.7
million in the City’s Budget Stabilization Fund and $3.6 million in the General Fund. Further of
the total amount of $32.6 million, $4.1 million constitutes unreserved fund balances but are
restricted for the purposes of the funds they were set up for. The remainder of fund balance is
reserved and is not available for new spending because it has already been reserved for specific
purposes, including advances, inventory and encumbrances.
-10-
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the
General Fund fund balance was $5.1 million, including an unreserved/undesignated fund balance
of $3.6 million. General Fund expenditures came in $2,154,215 more than revenues.
Unreserved/undesignated fund balance decreased by $1,267,020.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights:
In light of budgetary challenges caused by expenditure pressures outpacing revenue growth, the
FY 2009 budget was adopted with the goal of obtaining $3.35 million in union concessions. As
soon as it became apparent that concessions would not be achievable, in conformity with the State
Uniform Budget and Accounting Act, the Administration proposed a deficit elimination plan to
the City Council.
As in many other communities, the sudden downturn in the national economy and the worsening
of Michigan’s already-challenged economy resulted in a projected loss of revenues. Then, with
less than two months of the City’s fiscal year remaining, the State reduced the City’s revenue
sharing allocation by $600,000.
Adjustments to the budget were adopted by the City Council during the course of the year to
address the projected year-end deficit. In addition to the State revenue sharing loss, within the
last three months of the City’s fiscal year-end, the City sustained sudden decreases in General
Fund revenues, including the temporary idling of one of the City’s two General Motors resulting
in a further reduction of income tax revenues; the rapid decline of interest rates; reductions in
personal property tax revenues due to bankruptcies; and a significant reduction of the City’s
equity payment from the Lansing Board of Water.
Despite the adopted budget amendment and additional attempts to reduce General Fund
expenditures through a hiring freeze on a large number of position vacancies, a reduction in the
City’s retiree healthcare prefunding contribution, the continued closure of one of the City’s golf
courses, and a reduction of certain budgeted capital projects, the General Fund sustained a $2.1
million deficit, resulting in a decrease of the City’s General Fund fund balance of $2.1 million,
and a $1.2 million decrease of unreserved/undesignated fund balance. No amounts were drawn
down from the City’s Budget Stabilization special revenue fund. The deficit resulted in a
decrease of total unreserved/undesignated reserves, which includes the Budget Stabilization Fund,
from 9.4% of General Fund revenues to 8.4%.
Sewage Disposal Fund
Net assets increased $1.3 million to $204.8 million in FY2009. This was attributable to an
increase in capital assets, net of related debt increasing $7.0 million for the City’s continuing
combined sewer overflow project.
Parking Fund
The Municipal Parking Fund had no change in capital assets net of related debt. Unrestricted net
assets increased $1.0 million, through the sale of the South Grand Ramp. Total net assets
increased $.8 million from this transaction.
Budget Stabilization Fund
Fund balance at June 30, 2009 remained at $5.7 million. The Fund is limited by Ordinance to
10% of year end General Fund appropriations. The City appropriated no amounts to be spent
from the fund for the FY 2008/2009 and FY 2009/2010 budgets.
-11-
Capital Assets
Capital Assets: At the end of the fiscal year 2009, the City had invested $605 million, net of
accumulated depreciation, in a broad range of capital assets (see the table below). Total
depreciation charges for the fiscal year were $24.6 million. Additional information regarding the
City’s capital assets can be found in the notes to the basic financial statements. For more detailed
information, please refer to footnote 3-D.

service during the year.
Debt Administration
The City, along with the Lansing Building Authority (LBA), a blended component unit of the
City, are empowered by law to authorize, issue, and sell debt obligations. Limited tax and
unlimited tax general obligation bonds, are backed by the full faith and credit of the City. The
City also issues revenue dedicated bonded debt, whose payment for principal and interest comes
solely out of funds that receive legally restricted revenues. The Sewage Disposal fund has the
only dedicated revenue bonds which are currently outstanding. LBA’s bonds financed the
construction of parking, golf course, and firing range improvements. Revenues derived from user
fees from persons using parking and golf facilities fund the debt service requirements for related
improvements, but they are also backed by a limited tax pledge. The General Fund pays for firing
range related debt service. More detailed information regarding the City’s long-term obligations
is presented in Note 3-G (Long-Term Debt) to the financial statements..

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The State of Michigan’s economic challenges, including the national recession, American
automobile industry crisis, housing market and foreclosure impacts on property tax revenues,
combined with rising labor force and healthcare costs, continues to place budgetary and fiscal
constraints on the City of Lansing. A structural imbalance between revenue and expenditure
growth exists, as is the case for the majority of cities, especially those that are urban centers, in
Michigan.
To address these budgetary challenges, and to protect vital services to the public, since his
inauguration in January, 2006, Mayor Bernero has implemented a budgetary strategy of
maximizing revenues; reducing expenses; improving operational and technological efficiencies;
collaborating with neighboring municipalities, counties, and non-profit entities to provide funding
for City-owned assets that benefit the entire region, as demonstrated by the transfer of Potter Park
Zoo operations this fiscal year to Ingham County. The Mayor also continues to work
aggressively with the unions to contain the rising cost of healthcare and other compensation
issues. The FY 2009/2010 budget does not include any use of reserves, and the Mayor has
pledged to direct the City in a fiscally responsible manner -- living within the City’s means and
not using General Fund reserves or increasing the City’s property tax rate.

Reconciliation of Fund Balances on the Balance Sheet
for Governmental Funds to Net Assets of
Governmental Activities on the Statement of Net Assets
June 30, 2009
Fund balances - total governmental funds 32,622,041$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are
different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the funds.
Add - capital assets 473,792,294
Deduct - accumulated depreciation (257,914,356)
Because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing, some
assets will not be available to pay for current expenditures. Those assets
(i.e., receivables) are offset by deferred revenues in the governmental funds
and, therefore, not included in fund balance.
Add - deferred ambulance fees 1,124,824
Add - deferred nuisance fees 856,689
Add - deferred loans receivable 1,185,000
Add - deferred long-term interest receivable 1,801,617
Add - deferred long-term special assessments 716,483
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
equipment maintenance to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the
internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement
of net assets.10,708,878
Prepaid costs related to other postemployment benefits are not available for current period
expenditures and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Add: other postemployment benefit plan asset 3,085,900
Add: net pension asset 817,083
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore
are not reported in the funds.
Deduct - bonds, loans and leases payable (30,474,455)
Deduct - accrued interest on bonds, loans and leases payable (322,913)
Add - deferred bond issuance costs 55,864
Deduct - other postemployment benefit obligation (5,960,488)
Deduct - compensated absences and other long-term liabilities (16,849,106)

City of Lansing
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (9,419,094)$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense.
Add - capital outlay 11,882,554
Deduct - depreciation expense (12,888,406)
Deduct - loss on disposal of capital assets (1,904,687)
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds, but rather are deferred to subsequent
fiscal years.
Add - change in ambulance fees 406,934
Add - change in nuisance fees 25,813
Deduct - change in loans receivable (19,118)
Add - change in long-term interest receivable 69,250
Deduct - change in deferred special assessments (40,608)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
equipment maintenance to individual funds. The net increase (decrease) in the
net assets of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.
Add - net operating income from governmental activities in internal service funds (944,739)
Add - gain on sale of capital assets from governmental internal service funds 32,310
Deduct - interest expense from governmental internal service funds (60,931)
Add - transfers in governmental internal service funds 1,726,941
Deduct - transfers out governmental internal service funds (1,258,941)
Debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds in the
period issued, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of
net assets. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the funds, but the
repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets.
Add - principal payments on long-term liabilities 4,743,146
Certain expenditures are reported in governmental funds that reduce long-term
liabilities for purposes of the statement of net assets.
Add - decrease in liability for workers' compensation 2,894,155
Some expenses reported in the statement of activites do not require the use of current
financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in the funds.
Add - decrease in accrued interest payable on long-term liabilities 40,830
Add - amortization of debt-related costs 18,370
Deduct - decrease in other postemployment benefit obligation (750,445)
Add - increase in other net pension asset 817,083
Add - decrease in the accrual for compensated absences 44,010

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1-A. Reporting Entity
The City of Lansing (the “City”) was incorporated in 1859. In 1909, the City came under the
provisions of Act 279, P.A. 1909, as amended (“Home Rule City Act”). The City operates
under a strong Mayor form of government in which the Mayor is responsible for
implementation and administration of City policy as established by City Council.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform in all material respects to generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles, which are primarily set forth in
the GASB’s Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards
(GASB Codification). Following is a summary of the significant policies:
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the
City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. The financial data of the component units are included in the City’s reporting
entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
(1)Blended Component Units: A blended component unit is a legally separate entity from
the City but is so intertwined with the City that it is, in substance, the same as the City.
It is reported as part of the City and its financial data is combined with data of the
appropriate funds. The City has one blended component unit, the Building Authority
with a fiscal June 30 year-end. This component unit provides services primarily to
benefit the City. The blended unit is described as follows:
(a)Building Authority (the “Authority”): The Authority was established by the City
under Act 31, Michigan Public Acts of 1948. The Mayor, with the advice and
consent of City Council, appoints the Authority's governing body and designates
management. The Authority uses the proceeds of its tax-exempt bonds to finance
the construction or acquisition of capital assets for the City only. The bonds are
secured by lease agreements with the City and will be retired through lease
payments from the City. The financial activity, assets, liabilities and equity of the
Authority are incorporated within the City’s Municipal Parking System and Golf
enterprise funds, and the 1998 Building Authority Debt Service Fund.
(2)Discretely Presented Component Units: Discretely presented component units are
entities that are legally separate from the City but for which the City is financially
accountable, or their relationship with the City is such that exclusion would cause the
City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The City has four discretely
presented component units, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the Tax
Increment Financing Authority, the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities
Authority, and the Smart Zone, each with a fiscal June 30 year-end. The discretely
presented component units are as follows:
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-32-
(a)Brownfield Redevelopment Authority: The Authority was established by the
City on August 17, 1997, under the authority contained in Act 381, Michigan Public
Acts of 1996 (the Act). The Act authorizes the City to establish and to designate the
boundaries of a Brownfield redevelopment zone. The Authority is appointed by
City Council to preside over such a zone, and it is authorized to promote the
revitalization of environmentally distressed areas within the City of Lansing. The
Act allows the Authority to participate in a broad range of improvement activities
intended to encourage the reuse of industrial and commercial property by offering
economic incentives for redevelopment to prevent property value deterioration. Tax
increment financing plans must be approved by the City.
Tax increment financing permits the Authority to capture tax revenues which are
attributable to increases in the value of real and personal property located within an
approved project area. Current activities of the Authority include collections of
property tax revenues on project areas for the Rite Aid Pharmacy and the former
Motor Wheel Site Plant.
(b)Tax Increment Finance Authority (“TIFA”): The TIFA was established by the
City under the authority contained in Act 450, Michigan Public Acts of 1981. The
Act authorizes the City to designate specific districts within its corporate limits as
TIFA districts. The TIFA presides over such districts, formulating plans for public
improvements, economic development, neighborhood revitalization, and historic
preservation within the districts. The Act allows the TIFA to participate in a broad
range of improvement activities intended to contribute to economic growth and
prevent property value deterioration. The TIFA’s governing body is appointed by
the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council. Bond issuances, to fund
the above activities, are approved by the City Council and the legal liability for the
debt remains with the City.
(c)Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority (“LEPFA”): LEPFA
was established under the charter of the City of Lansing in February 1996, replacing
the former Greater Lansing Convention/Exhibition Authority, which had been
responsible for operating and managing the Lansing Center and the Lansing Civic
Arena (the latter through the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995). LEPFA was
established to oversee the management and operations of the Lansing Center, the
City Market and the Oldsmobile Park stadium.
The Authority is chartered as a building authority under the provisions of Act 31,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1948. In the event of dissolution or termination of the
Authority, all assets and rights of the Authority shall revert to the City. The
Authority's Board of Commissioners consists of thirteen members appointed by the
Mayor of the City of Lansing and approved by the City Council.
(d)Lansing Regional SmartZone (“Smart Zone”):The Smart Zone was established by
the City of Lansing and the City of East Lansing under the authority contained in Act 281,
Public Act of Michigan of 1986. The Act authorizes the Cities to create a multi-
jurisdictional local development finance authority. The Smart Zone shall be known and
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-33-
exercise its powers under title of the Local Development Finance Authority of the Cities of
Lansing and East Lansing. The Smart Zone was created in order to eliminate the conditions
of unemployment, underemployment and joblessness, and to promote economic growth in
the City.The Smart Zone's Board of Commissioners consists of seven members,
three of which are appointed by the City of Lansing, three are appointed by the City
of East Lansing, and one is appointed by the Ingham County Board of
Commissioners..

individual component units may be obtained from the entity's administrative offices.

1-B. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements. The statements of net assets and activities display
information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These statements
include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. These
statements distinguish between the City’s governmental and business-type activities. Governmental
activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange
transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external
parties.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues
for the different business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental
activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and,
therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expense allocations that have been
made in the funds have been reversed for the statement of activities. Program revenues include (a)
fees, fines and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are
presented as general revenues.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements

Fund Financial Statements. The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s
funds, including its fiduciary funds and blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund
category – governmental, proprietary and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund financial
statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All
remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
The City reports the following major governmental fund:
General fund. This fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Sewage Disposal System Fund. This fund accounts for the provision of sewage disposal services
to the residents of the City.
Municipal Parking System Fund. This fund accounts for the operating of City-owned parking
facilities.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Special revenue funds. These funds account for revenue sources that are legally restricted to
expenditures for specific purposes not including major capital projects.
Debt service funds. These funds account for the resources accumulated and payments made for
principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
Capital projects funds. These funds account for the acquisition of capital assets or construction
of major capital projects not being financed by proprietary funds.
Permanent funds. These funds account for resources that are legally restricted to the extent that
only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the government’s
programs.
Enterprise funds. These funds account for those operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business or where the City has decided that the determination of
revenues earned, costs incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability.
Internal service funds. These funds account for operations that provide services to other
departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
This includes operating a maintenance facility for trucks and equipment used by the Public
Service Department, and health care self-insurance services.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN

Pension and other postemployment benefit trust funds. These funds account for the
accumulation of resources to be used for retirement annuity payments to eligible full-time
employees of the City, certain healthcare costs, and other retirement distributions.
Agency Funds. These funds account for resources held in a trustee or agent capacity for the 54-
A District Court.
1-C. Measurement Focus / Basis of Accounting
Government-wide, Proprietary and Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements. The government-wide,
proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except for agency funds, which do not have
a measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each
party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and
investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the City’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and
services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of
sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or
giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an
accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are
levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all
eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements. Governmental funds are reported using the current
financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this
method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues
reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within three months after
year-end, except for income taxes that use a 45-day collection period, property taxes that use a 60-
day collection period, and reimbursement-based grants that use one year. Property taxes, income
taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and
interest on general long-term debt, compensated absences, and claims and judgments, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are
reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and
acquisitions under capital leases, if any, are reported as other financing sources.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-36-
Under the terms of grant agreements, the City funds certain programs by a combination of specific
cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program
expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the
program. It is the City’s policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs,
followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues, subject to satisfying any grant
program matching provisions.
All governmental and business-type activities and enterprise funds of the City follow private-sector
standards of accounting and financial reported issued prior to December 1, 1989, unless those
standards conflict with guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments
also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type
activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow
subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes and various other
functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
1-D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Deposits and Investments
The City maintains an investment pool for all City funds. Each fund’s portion of the investment
pool is displayed on the statement of net assets/balance sheet as “equity in pooled cash.” The City’s
cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
State statutes authorize the government to deposit in the accounts of federally insured banks, credit
unions, and savings and loan associations, and to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, certain
commercial paper, repurchase agreements, bankers acceptances, and mutual funds composed of
otherwise legal investments.
Investments are stated at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which
approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the
last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of future
principal and interest payments, and are discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar
instruments. Investments that do not have established market values are reported at estimated fair
value. Cash deposits are reported at carrying amounts, which reasonably approximates fair value.
Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on pension trust fund investments due to changes in fair
value are recognized each year.
Receivables and Payables
All trade and delinquent property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles,
as applicable.
Certain notes receivable in governmental funds consist of rehabilitation and redevelopment loans
that are generally not expected or scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-37-
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as either interfund receivables/payables (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or advances to/from other funds (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund
loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as due to/from other funds. Any
residual balances outstanding between the governmental and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.
Inventories, Prepaid Items and Other Assets
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out method. Inventories of governmental
funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items acquired or constructed since June 30, 1980), are reported in
the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets that are used for governmental activities are only reported in the
government-wide statements. Infrastructure (“public domain”) assets, including roads, bridges,
sanitary sewers, drains, curbs, and gutters are capitalized. With this measurement focus, all assets
and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with the operations of these funds are
included on the government-wide statement of net assets.
All land and non-depreciable land improvements are capitalized, regardless of cost. Equipment and
vehicles are capitalized when the cost of individual items exceed $5,000. The road and sewer
networks are all capitalized regardless of cost. Buildings are capitalized over $100,000, and the
recreational facilities’ thresholds range from $25,000 to $50,000.
Capital assets of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 20-50
Improvements 8-50
Equipment 3-15
Sanitary sewers 50
Infrastructure 10-75
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN

Compensated Absences
It is the government’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and
compensatory time benefits, subject to certain limitations. Certain bargaining unit employees are
also permitted to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All vacation and compensatory time pay
and 50 percent of sick leave are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if
they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of
net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over
the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and
amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts,
as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for a
specific purpose. Fund balance designations represent tentative management plans that are subject
to change.
1-E. Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated, for potential recognition or
disclosure, significant events or transactions that occurred during the period subsequent to June 30,
2009, the most recent statement of net assets presented herein, through the auditors’ report date, the
date these financial statements were available to be issued. No significant such events or
transactions were identified, other than the matter disclosed in Note 3-K, entitled "Subsequent
Event".

NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
2-A. Budgetary Information
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
On or before the fourth Monday in March, the Mayor submits to the City Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
A public hearing on the proposed use of funds is held by the Mayor, and a public hearing on the
annual appropriations as proposed by the City Council is held no later than one week prior to
adoption of the annual appropriation measure.
Not later than the third Monday in May, the Council adopts a budget for the ensuing fiscal year,
makes an appropriation of the money needed therefore, and sets the property tax rate necessary
to support the appropriations measure.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and the mandatory expenditure
accounts as established by the State of Michigan’s Uniform Chart of Accounts. The legal level
of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts level. The mandatory accounts are
personal services, supplies and operating expense, capital outlay, debt service, transfers and
contingency. Transfers of appropriations between the mandatory accounts require the approval
of the City Council. However, the Mayor may authorize budget transfers between mandatory
accounts in a department, but the additional amount may not exceed fifteen (15%) of the
Council's appropriation being added to, or five thousand dollars ($5,000), whichever is less.
Budget-to-actual schedules that demonstrate compliance at the legal level of budgetary control
are not included herein as it would be impractical due to the high level of detail that would be
needed. Such schedules are included in the City's separately issued Budget Report. Copies of
the report may be obtained from the Finance Department, 124 West Michigan Avenue, Lansing,
Michigan 48933.
The City formally adopts operating budgets for the General Fund and all Special Revenue
Funds.
Budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all
budgeted funds. Except for the General Fund, these budgets are adopted on a basis consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the General Fund, capital lease
payments / installment payments are budgeted, but capital lease acquisitions are not.
Appropriations lapse at year-end for all annual budgets. Appropriations are automatically
carried forward for project-type budgets.
Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase orders
or contracts) outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not
constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be reappropriated and honored
during the subsequent year.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements

2-B. Deficit Fund Balance/Net Assets
The Special Assessments capital projects fund has a deficit fund balance of $169,200. This deficit
is the result of a long-term advance from the general fund that was used to provide the working
capital for the fund in prior years. As special assessments are collected, this deficit will be
eliminated, and the advance repaid.
The Golf enterprise fund also has a deficit in unrestricted net assets in the amount of $55,382 at
June 30, 2009.
The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority component unit has a deficit fund balance of $1,029,835
which is due to the full accrual accounting of all long-term debt, without reflecting a corresponding
receivable for tax captures to be received in future periods (which cannot be accrued in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles). Total fund balance (before taking into consideration
long-term debt) amounts to a positive balance of $400,962.
The Tax Increment Finance Authority has a deficit fund balance of $35,615,287, which is due to the
full accrual accounting of all long-term debt, without reflecting a corresponding receivable for tax
captures to be received in future periods (which cannot be accrued in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles). Total fund balance (before taking into consideration long-term
debt) amounts to a positive balance of $1,106,889.

Interest Rate Risk. State law limits the allowable investments and the maturities of some of the
allowable investments as identified in the summary of significant accounting policies. The City’s
investment policy does not have specific limits in excess of state law on investment maturities as a
means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.
Credit Risk. State law limits investments to specific government securities, certificates of deposit
and bank accounts with qualified financial institutions, commercial paper with specific maximum
maturities and ratings when purchased, bankers acceptances of specific financial institutions,
qualified mutual funds and qualified external investment pools as identified in the list of authorized
investments in the summary of significant accounting policies. The City’s investment policy does
not have specific limits in excess of state law on investment credit risk. Credit risk ratings, where
applicable, have been identified above for the City’s investments.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure,
the City’s deposits may not be returned. State law does not require and the City does not have a
policy for deposit custodial credit risk. As of year-end, $13,389,049 of the City’s bank balance of
$14,700,469 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and uncollateralized.
The City’s investment policy does not specifically address this risk, although the City believes that
due to the dollar amounts of cash deposits and the limits of FDIC insurance, it is impractical to
insure all bank deposits. As a result, the City evaluates each financial institution with which it
deposits City funds and assesses the level of risk of each institution; only those institutions with an
acceptable estimated risk level are used as depositories.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-42-
Custodial Credit Risk – Investments. For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the
event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its
investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. State law does not
require and the City does not have a policy for investment custodial credit risk. On the investments
listed above, there is no custodial credit risk, as these investments are uncategorized as to credit
risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk. State law limits allowable investments but does not limit
concentration of credit risk as identified in the list of authorized investments in the summary of
significant accounting policies. The City’s investment policy does not have specific limits in excess
of state law on concentration of credit risk. All investments held at year end are reported above.
3-B. Deposits, Investments and Securities Lending – Pension Trust Funds
The deposits and investments of the City’s pension trust funds are maintained separately from the
City’s pooled cash and investments, and are subject to separate investment policies and state
statutes. Accordingly, the required disclosures for the pension deposits and investments are
presented separately.
Deposits - The pension trust funds do not maintain any checking or other demand/time deposit
accounts. Amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents in the statement of plan net assets are
composed entirely of short-term investments in money market accounts.
Investments - The Michigan Public Employees Retirement Systems’ Investment Act, Public Act
314 of 1965, as amended, authorizes the pension trust funds to invest in stocks, government and
corporate securities, mortgages, real estate, and various other investment instruments, subject to
certain limitations. The retirement boards have the responsibility and authority to oversee the
investment portfolio. Various professional investment managers are contracted to assist in
managing the pension trust funds’ assets. All investment decisions are subject to Michigan law and
the investment policy established by the retirement boards.

Custodial Credit Risk. For investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City’s pension investment
policies require that investment securities be held in trust by a third-party institution in the name of
the pension trust fund. As such, although uninsured and unregistered, the City’s pension
investments are not exposed to custodial credit risk since the securities are held by the
counterparty’s trust department in the name of the pension trust fund.
Short-term investments in money market funds are not subject to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk. At June 30, 2009, the pension investment portfolio was concentrated
as follows:
Police
Employees' and Fire
Retirement Retirement
Investment Type Issuer System System
U.S. Agencies FHLMC 6.5% 6.6%
U.S. Agencies FNMA 7.7% 7.0%
The City’s pension investment policies require diversification of fixed income securities; however,
they do not specify percentages of dollar amounts by industry or issuer.
Interest Rate Risk. As of June 30, 2009, maturities of the City’s pension debt securities were as
follows:
Investment Maturities (Fair Value)
Less than More than
1 year 1 - 5 years 6 - 10 years 10 years Total

The City’s pension investment policies provide that the average duration of fixed income securities
shall not deviate from the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index duration by +/-20%.
Securities Lending. Under contracts approved by the City, the pension trust funds are permitted to
lend their securities to broker-dealers and banks (borrowers) for collateral that will be returned for
the same securities in the future. The pension trust funds’ custodial banks manage the securities
lending programs and receive cash as collateral. The collateral securities cannot be pledged or sold
by the City unless the borrower defaults. Collateral cash is initially pledged at 100 percent of the
fair value of the securities lent, and may not fall below 95 percent of the market value of the loaned
security during the term of the loan. At all times, collateral cannot be more than $100,000 less than
the market value of the loaned security. There are no restrictions on the amount of securities that
can be loaned. Securities on loan at year-end are classified in the preceding schedule of custodial
credit risk according to the category for the collateral received on the securities lent. At year-end,
the pension trust funds have no credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts the City
owes the borrowers exceed the amounts the borrowers owe the City. The contract with the pension
trust fund custodians require them to indemnify the City if the borrowers fail to return the securities
(and if the collateral is inadequate to replace the securities lent) or fail to pay the City for income
distributions by the securities’ issuers while the securities are on loan.

3-H. Segment Information – Enterprise Funds
The government issued revenue bonds to finance certain improvements to its sewage disposal
system. Because the Sewage Disposal System, an individual fund that accounts entirely for the
government’s sewage activities, is a segment and is reported as a major fund in the fund financial
statements, separate segment disclosures herein are not required.
3-I. Endowments
For the year ended June 30, 2009, the net appreciation on investments available for restricted
endowments was $1,250. Under the terms of the endowments, and consistent with State statutes,
the City is authorized to spend the net appreciation for the benefit of the cemetery and parks. The
expendable portion of earnings has been transferred to other funds. The remaining non-expendable
portion of the endowment is reported in restricted net assets.

3-J. Restatement
Beginning net assets of governmental activities were increased by $1,345,564 to properly capitalize
costs for construction in progress that had been expensed in prior years.
Beginning net assets of the Sewage Disposal System enterprise fund and business-type activities were
increased by $1,000,000 to recognize capital contributions received in a prior period, but previously
carried as unearned revenue.
In addition, beginning fund balances of the Drug Law Enforcement and State and Federal Programs
special revenue funds were decreased by $409,852 and $11,082, respectively, to separately account for
the operations of the Tri-County Metro Narcotics Squad as a separate special revenue fund. This
reclassification did not change total the fund balance reported in the City’s governmental funds.
3-K. Subsequent Event
On July 22, 2009, the City issued $20,000,000 in Limited Tax General Obligation Capital Improvement
Bonds, Series 2009 (Build America Bonds). These bonds are due in annual installments of $270,000 to
$785,000 through 2034 at an interest rate ranging from 3.15% to 7.05%.
NOTE 4 – OTHER INFORMATION
4-A. Risk Management
The City of Lansing is exposed to various risks of loss related to property loss, torts, errors and
omissions and employee injuries.
The City carries commercial insurance for claims relating to general liability, property, electronic
data processing, boiler and machinery, police professional and errors and omissions. The City has
not experienced settlements in excess of insurance coverage during the past three years.
The City is uninsured for acts of nature and environmental clean-up costs.
The City is self-insured for workers’ compensation costs. The City estimates the liability for
workers’ compensation claims that have been incurred through the end of the fiscal year, including
those claims that have been reported as well as those that have not yet been reported to the City.
The current liability is accounted for in the General Fund, with long term liabilities accounted for in
the Statement of Net Assets. The City has liability insurance coverage up to a maximum amount of
$16,000,000 per occurrence with a $350,000 deductible. Changes in the estimated long-term
liability as well as the total estimated cost of claims for the past two fiscal years were as follows:

Estimated liability, end of year $ 5,148,683 $ 8,042,838
4-B. Property Taxes
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of the date they are levied. City,
community college, and 50% of school taxes are levied and due July 1 and become delinquent after
August 31. County taxes and the balance of school taxes are levied and due December 1 and
become delinquent after February 14. In March, taxes on real property still delinquent are
purchased by the County's Tax Revolving Funds. Collections of community college, school, and
county taxes and remittances are accounted for in the General Fund. City property tax revenues are
recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied to the extent that they result in current
receivables (i.e., are collected within 60 days after fiscal year-end).
The City is permitted by charter and state law to levy taxes up to $19.198 per $1,000 of assessed
valuation for general operations other than the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt.
The tax rate to finance general governmental services other than the payment of principal and
interest on long-term debt for the year ended June 30, 2009 was $15.01 per $1,000 of taxable value.
4-C. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and potential adjustment
by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts
already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of
expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the
government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The government is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not
presently determinable, it is the opinion of the government’s counsel that resolution of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the government.

4-D. Defined Benefit Pension Plans –
Employees’ Retirement System
The City sponsors and administers the Employees’ Retirement System (the “Plan”), a single-
employer, defined-benefit pension plan. It is accounted for as a separate pension trust fund. No
stand-alone financial reports are issued. It covers general full-time employees of the City of
Lansing and employees of the 54-A District Court. It does not include elected officials, who are
members of the Employees’ Money Purchase Pension Plan, nor does it include police officers and
firefighters, who are members of a separate City pension plan. The payroll for employees covered
by the plan for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $29,688,203; the City’s total payroll was
$58,973,797. Administration of the plan is funded through the General Fund.
As of December 31, 2008, employee membership data was as follows:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees entitled
to benefits but not yet receiving them 856
Active members:
Vested 273
Nonvested 301
574
Approximately 22.5% of the active membership may retire with a combination of age plus service
equal to 65. All other members may retire at age 50 with 25 or more years of credited service or
age 58 with 8 or more years of credited service. Members are vested after completing 8 years of
credited service. For all members, annual regular retirement allowances are determined by
multiplying total credited service times 1.6% to 2.8% times final average compensation. Final
average compensation is the member's highest wages for two consecutive years during the last 10
years. Retirement options that provide for survivor benefits are available to members. The plan also
provides death and disability benefits. If a member leaves employment or dies before vesting,
accumulated member contributions plus interest are refunded to the member or designated
beneficiary. Members who are vested and terminate their employment have the option of deferring
retirement benefits until age 58 or withdrawing their contribution, thereby forfeiting any future
benefits.
Active members contribute between 1.7% and 7.25% of wages as determined by individual labor
agreements. Chapter 292 of the City of Lansing's Code of Ordinances establishes benefit provisions
and requires that the annuity and pension reserves (which are determined annually by the City’s
actuary) not financed by member contributions shall be financed by annual appropriations.

The City’s funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined
rates that expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll, are designed to accumulate sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. The normal cost and amortization payment for the year ended June
30, 2009, was determined using an entry age actuarial funding method. Unfunded actuarial accrued
liabilities are being amortized as a level percent of payroll over an open period of 30 years.
Contributions are recognized when due pursuant to formal commitments, as well as statutory or
contractual requirements. The fund is accounted for in essentially the same manner as the
Proprietary Funds and uses the full accrual method of accounting.
Plan valuation assets are equal to the reported market value of assets except that only 20% of the
difference between the mark-to-market rate of return and the 8% actuarial rate of return is
recognized each year. This five year smoothing method reduces the fluctuation in the City’s
computed contribution rate which might otherwise be caused by market value fluctuations. The
entry-age actuarial cost method is used to determine plan liabilities. Significant actuarial
assumptions used in determining the entry-age actuarial accrued liability include (a) a rate of return
on investments of 8% per year compounded annually (b) projected salary increases of 4%
attributable to inflation and 0% to 7% per year depending on age attributable to seniority/merit (c)
assumption that benefits generally will increase $200 annually after age 60.
During the year ended June 30, 2009, total contributions of $7,831,433 were made in accordance
with actuarially determined requirements computed through an actuarial valuation performed as of
December 31, 2007. The City contributed $6,476,000 (21.79% of projected valuation payroll),
excluding contributions for health insurance; employees contributed $597,480 (4.56% of projected
valuation payroll). The City’s contribution consisted of (a) $3,028,202 normal cost (10.19% of
projected valuation payroll) and (b) $3,447,798 amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability (11.60% of projected valuation payroll).
At December 31, 2008, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability was determined as follows:
Actuarial accrued liability for:
Active participants (273 vested and 301 non-vested) $ 61,157,155
Retired participants and beneficiaries currently
receiving benefits (793 recipients) 176,095,046
Vested terminated participants not yet receiving benefits (58) 4,249,733
Member benefit reserve 16,828,570
Total actuarial accrued liability 258,330,504
Actuarial value of assets (smoothed market value) * 200,599,513
Unfunded actuarial accrued liability $ 57,730,991
* Excluding reserve for health insurance

The City has traditionally contributed the annual required contributions (“ARC”), and thus, has
never previously had, or had need to report, a net pension obligation (“NPO”), as required under
GASB Statement No. 27. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, the City contribution
($6,476,000) exceeded the annual required contribution ($6,047,520) creating a net pension asset of
$428,480.
The schedules of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information (RSI)
following the notes to the financial statements, present multiyear trend information about whether
the actuarial values of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over time relative to the AALs for
benefits.

Police and Fire Retirement System
The City sponsors and administers the Police and Fire Retirement System (the “Plan”), a single-
employer defined-benefit pension plan. It is accounted for as a separate pension trust fund. No
stand-alone financial reports are issued. It covers all police officers and firefighters who are full-
time employees of the City. The City’s payroll for employees covered by the plan for the year
ended December 31, 2008, was $30,161,471, the City’s total payroll was $58,973,797.
Administration of the plan is funded through the General Fund.
As of December 31, 2008, employee membership data related to the plan was as follows:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees entitled
to benefits but not yet receiving them 646
Active members:
Vested 292
Nonvested 163
455
Members may retire at any age with 25 or more years of credited service, or age 55 with 10 or more
years of credited service. Members are vested after completing 10 years of credited service.
Members are required to retire at age 70. Annual retirement allowances are determined by
multiplying final average compensation by 3.2% for the first 25 years of credited service. The
maximum allowance is 80% of final average compensation. Final average compensation is the
member's highest wages for 2 consecutive years.

When an employee who had retired subsequent to August 31, 1966, dies, the plan provides for an
automatic pension to the retiree's spouse. This automatic pension is equal to 50% of the regular
retirement benefit the employee had been receiving at time of death. Effective July 30, 1990,
members may elect a reduced benefit, either 93% or 86% of the regular benefit, thereby increasing
the spouse pension to 75% or 86% of the regular benefit, respectively. Alternately, members may
elect a non-spousal beneficiary option. The plan provides death and disability benefits. If a member
leaves employment or dies before vesting, accumulated member contributions plus interest are
refunded to the member or designated beneficiary. Members who are vested and terminate their
employment have the option of deferred retirement benefits until age 55 or withdrawing their
contribution, thereby forfeiting any future benefits.
Fire members are required to contribute 7.58% of their annual wages to the plan. Police supervisors
are required to contribute 9.52% and police non-supervisors, 8.50%. Chapter 294 of the City of
Lansing's Ordinance establishes benefit provisions and requires that the portion of the annuity and
pension reserves (which are determined annually by the City’s actuary) not financed by member
contributions shall be financed by annual appropriations.
In addition to the payments under this plan, the City made payments from the General Fund to
provide benefits for the beneficiaries of a prior pension plan. This prior plan was superseded by the
present plan as of January 1, 1944. There were no payments made to beneficiaries under that plan.
The City’s funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined
rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll, are designed to accumulate sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. The normal cost and amortization payment for the year ended June
30, 2009, was determined using an entry age actuarial funding method. Unfunded actuarial accrued
liabilities are being amortized as a level percent of payroll over an open period of 30 years.
Plan valuation assets are equal to the reported market value of assets except that only 20% of the
difference between the mark-to-market rate of return and the 8% actuarial rate of return is
recognized each year. This five year smoothing method reduces the fluctuation in the City’s
computed contribution rate which might otherwise be caused by market value fluctuations. The
entry-age actuarial cost method is used to determine plan liabilities. Significant actuarial
assumptions used in determining the entry-age actuarial accrued liability include (a) a rate of return
on investments of 8% per year compounded annually (b) projected salary increases of 4%
attributable to inflation and .51 to 11.5% per year depending on age attributable to seniority/merit
(c) assumption that benefits generally will increase $525 annually after retirement.
During the year ended June 30, 2009, total contributions of $8,988,820 were made in accordance
with actuarially determined requirements computed through an actuarial valuation performed as of
December 31, 2007. The City contributed $6,483,000 (20.79% of projected valuation payroll),
excluding contributions for health insurance; employees contributed $2,547,978 (8.03% of
projected valuation payroll). The City’s contribution consisted of (a) $4,824,991 normal cost
(15.47% of projected valuation payroll) and (b) $1,658,009 amortization of the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability (5.32% of projected valuation payroll).

Employees’ Money Purchase Pension Plan
The City of Lansing sponsors and contributes to the Employees’ Money Purchase Pension Plan (the
“Plan”), which is a single-employer defined - contribution pension plan. Administration of the plan
is funded by the General Fund.
A defined contribution pension plan provides pension benefits in return for services rendered,
provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the
individual's account are to be determined instead of specifying the amount of benefits the individual
is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive
depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account and the returns earned on
investments of those contributions. As established by Chapter 292.30 of the City of Lansing's Code
of Ordinances, this plan includes all elected officials hired subsequent to September 30, 1990. As
of June 30, 2009, there were 10 active members in this plan. Contributions made by employees vest
immediately, and contributions made by the City vest after three years of full-time employment.
When employees terminate employment, they are entitled to their contributions and the City’s
contributions if vesting requirements are satisfied. Employees may contribute up to 8% of their
wages in 1% increments. The City contributes an amount equal to 6.0% of the employees’ wages
for retirement benefits.
During the year, the City’s required and actual contributions amounted to $20,430, which was
approximately 6% of covered payroll of $340,500. There were no employee contributions.
No pension provision changes occurred during the year that affected the required contributions to be
made by the City. In addition, the plan does not issue stand-alone financial statements.

4-E. Other Postemployment Benefits
The City of Lansing contributes to the Employees’ Retirement System, the Police and Fire
Retirement System, and the Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association amounts to pre-fund
postemployment healthcare. In the Employees’ Retirement System and the Police and Fire
Retirement System, these other postemployment benefits (OPEB) are set up as reserves in the
pension plans, and their investments are commingled with the investments of the pension. Portfolio
makeup is reported as a percentage of total pension plan assets. Earnings are calculated based on a
seven year smoothed rate of return of the retirement systems. Eligible participants include any
retirees who receive pension benefits under the respective pension plans. OPEB plan provisions are
established and may be amended by the City Council, subject to the City’s various collective
bargaining agreements.
Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA). The City of Lansing Voluntary Employees
Beneficiary Association (the “Plan”) is a single-employer defined benefit post employment
healthcare plan established by the City to provide medical and healthcare benefits for retirees and
their beneficiaries. Eligible participants include any retirees who receive pension benefits under one
of the City’s pension plans. The Plan is funded by a trust agreement established pursuant to Section
501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code that allows for the formation of a VEBA. During the year,
the City contributed $2,164,424 to the Plan.
Employees’ Retirement System. The City provides postemployment health care benefits, in
accordance with labor agreements, to full-time employees of the City and employees of the 54-A
District Court (not including police officers and firefighters who are members of the Police and Fire
Retirement System). Members eligible for pension benefits under the Employees’ Retirement
System are also eligible to receive health care benefits. The City provides the full cost of health
benefits to retirees, payable to health care vendors, and also reimburses retirees eligible for
Medicare benefits of $96.40 per month for each covered retiree and dependent(s). The payments
are charged to the Fringe Benefit Internal Service Fund of the City and are recognized as expenses
as payments are made. During the year, payments for health care benefits were approximately
$8,338,260 and the City contributed $7,691,287 (direct benefit payments of $8,338,260 and City
contributions of $353,027) to the Employees’ Retirement System.
There were no significant changes in health benefits over the previous year.
Police and Fire Retirement System. The City also provides postemployment health care benefits,
in accordance with labor agreements, to members who are eligible to receive pension benefits under
the Police and Fire Retirement System. The City provides the full cost of health benefits to retirees,
payable to health care vendors, and also reimburses retirees eligible for Medicare benefits of $88.50
per month for each covered retiree and dependent(s). The payments are charged to the Fringe
Benefit Internal Service Fund of the City and are recognized as expenses as payments are made.
During the year, payments for health care benefits were approximately $8,916,277 and the City
contributed $9,673,825 (direct benefit payments of $8,916,277 and City contributions of $757,548)
to the Police and Fire Retirement System to fund retiree healthcare.

There were no significant changes in health benefits over the previous year.
Plan valuation assets for the OPEB plans are equal to the reported market value of assets except that
only 20% of the difference between the mark-to-market rate of return and the 8% actuarial rate of
return is recognized each year. The entry-age actuarial cost method, with a 30 year amortization of
unfunded accrued liabilities was used to determine the liabilities. The entry-age method is a stable
method that is consistent with a level percentage of payroll financing. The actuarial accrued
liability assumes a healthcare cost trend rate of 10% to 4%.
At December 31, 2006 (the date of the most recent actuarial valuation), the assets in excess of the
actuarial accrued liability were determined as follows:
Employees’ Police
Retirement & Fire
System Retirement
& VEBA * System
Actuarial accrued liability for:
Active participants $ 35,789,417 $ 50,381,502

Covered payroll $ 31,943,723 $ 29,582,427
UAAL as a % of covered payroll 416.5% 481.7%
* - The Employees’ Retirement System and VEBA were combined on the actuarial valuation.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The City’s annual other postemployment benefits
cost or expense is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an
amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The
ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal
cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not
to exceed 30 years.

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
December 17, 2009
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Lansing, Michigan as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009,
which colleFWLYHO\FRPSULVHWKH&LW\¶VEDVLFILQDQFLDOVWDWHPHQWVDVOLVWHGLQWKHWDEOHRIFRQWHQWV
and have issued our report thereon dated December 17, 2009. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Lansing, Michigan¶V LQWHUQDO
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City of Lansing, Michigan¶VLQWHUQDOFRQWURORYHUILQDQFLDOUHSRUWLQJ
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lansing, Michigan¶V
internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described
in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, as
discussed below, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that
we consider to be a significant deficiency.
-5-
-6-
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process,
or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such
that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned
costs as item 2009-1 to be a significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will
not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in
the internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily
disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However we
consider the significant deficiency described above to be a material weakness.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Lansing, Michigan’s financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could
have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City of Lansing, Michigan, in a
separate letter dated December 17, 2009.
The City of Lansing, Michigan’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. We did not audit the City of Lansing,
Michigan’s response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee, the governing
board, management, others within the organization, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through
entities, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS¶ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM
AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
March 26, 2010
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Lansing, Michigan
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the City of Lansing, Michigan with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133
Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended
June 30, 2009. The &LW\ RI /DQVLQJ 0LFKLJDQ¶V major federal programs are identified in the
VXPPDU\RIDXGLWRUV¶UHVXOWVVHFWLRQRIWKHDFFRPSDQ\LQJ6FKHGXOHRI)LQGLQJVDQG4XHVWLRQHG
Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to
each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the &LW\ RI /DQVLQJ 0LFKLJDQ¶V
PDQDJHPHQW 2XU UHVSRQVLELOLW\ LV WR H[SUHVV DQ RSLQLRQ RQ WKH&LW\ RI /DQVLQJ 0LFKLJDQ¶V
compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-
133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB
Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have
a direct and material effect on major federal programs occurred. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence about the &LW\RI/DQVLQJ0LFKLJDQ¶V compliance with those requirements and
performing such other procedures, as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal
determination on the &LW\RI/DQVLQJ0LFKLJDQ¶V compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City of Lansing, Michigan complied, in all material respects, with the
requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year
ended June 30, 2009. However, the results of our auditing procedures disclosed instances of
noncompliance with those requirements, which are required to be reported in accordance with OMB
Circular A-133 and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned
costs as items 2009-2 and 2009-3.

Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City of Lansing, Michigan is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and
grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of
Lansing, Michigan’s internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct
and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over compliance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in the entity’s internal control
that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses as defined below. However, as discussed
below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be
significant deficiencies.
A control deficiency in an entity’s internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation
of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to administer a federal program such that
there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
federal program that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s
internal control. We consider the deficiencies in internal control over compliance described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2009-2 and 2009-3 to be significant
deficiencies.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement
of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. We did not
consider any of the deficiencies noted above to be material weaknesses.
The City of Lansing, Michigan’s responses to the findings identified in our audit are described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. We did not audit the City of Lansing,
Michigan’s responses and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Lansing, Michigan as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, and have
issued our report thereon dated December 17, 2009. Our audit was performed for the purpose of
forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of
additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee, management, others
within the organization, the City Council, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and
is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

SECTION II – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
2009-1 Material Audit Adjustments
Criteria: The City is responsible for the reconciliation of all general ledger accounts to
their proper underlying balances for the purpose of creating a reasonably
adjusted trial balance, from which the basic financial statements are derived.
Condition: Our auditing procedures identified the need for a material audit adjustment
relative to the proper recording of pension contributions made during the year.
In addition, management identified and recorded a prior period adjustment to
the government-wide financial statements to capitalize certain construction
costs expensed in prior years.
Cause: Internal controls did not detect all necessary adjustments to properly record
year-end balances.
Effect: As a result of this condition, the City's internal books and records were initially
misstated by amounts that were material to the financial statements.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
-12-
Recommendation: Management has already reviewed and approved the necessary adjustments,
and their effect is included in the City's financial statements. Accordingly, no
further corrective action is required.
View of
Responsible
Officials: Management acknowledges its responsibility for the fair presentation of the
City's financial statements, and will continue to carefully review all account
balances in the future. As noted above, no further corrective action is required
at this time.
SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
Significant Deficiencies
Finding 2009-2 Subrecipient Monitoring
Program: CFDA #97.067 – State Homeland Security Grant
Criteria: The Compliance Supplement to OMB Circular No. A-133 requires that pass-
through entities ensure that subrecipients expending $500,000 or more in
Federal awards have met the audit requirements of OMB Circular A-133.
Condition: The City conducted subrecipient monitoring during the current year, as
required. However, we identified one instance in which a subrecipient had
reported findings in its single audit report related to the Homeland Security
pass-through dollars and the City had not followed up on the finding or
received a corrective action plan.
Cause: Program management was not fully aware of the Federal Guidelines regarding
subrecipient monitoring that were applicable to these programs.
Effect: As a result of this condition, the City is exposed to an increased risk that
unallowable costs and/or activities could continue to occur at the subrecipient
level for which the City is indirectly responsible as the pass-through entity.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement procedures to verify that all findings
at the subrecipient level are monitored to ensure that appropriate corrective
action is taken.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
-13-
View of
Responsible
Officials: A follow up on the subrecipient’s Single Audit has concluded that they have
taken care of the circumstance regarding the finding. The City has since
instructed all personnel associated with monitoring subrecipients to follow up
on single audit findings and conditions.
Finding 2009-3 Documentation of Payroll Expenditures in Accordance with Federal Cost
Principles
Program: CFDA# 97.036 – FEMA
Criteria: Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-87, Cost Principles for
State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments, requires charges to federal
programs to be supported by personnel activity reports, or in the case of staff
who spend 100% of their time on a single federal program, semi-annual
certifications.
Condition: There were 5 employees who had more time charged to the grant than could be
substantiated by time cards/sheets, and there were two employees who had
more time on their time cards/sheets than were charged to the grant.
Cause: Due to the emergency nature of this grant, the documentation for charges was
being prepared and gathered after the fact. Total hours were paid correctly,
however, the documentation substantiating time spent on the storm cleanup did
not always agree to the reimbursement request.
Effect: As a result of this condition, the City charged certain personnel costs to this
program without sufficient documentation as required by OMB Circular A-87.
Questioned costs: The total amount of personnel costs charged to this program with sufficient
documentation as required by OMB Circular A-87 was $1,294.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement procedures to verify that all time
spent on federal programs is adequately documented.

To the City Council of the
City of Lansing
Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Lansing WKH³City´ for the year ended June 30, 2009, and have
issued our report thereon dated December 17, 2009. Professional standards require that we provide
you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of
America and OMB Circular A-133
As stated in our engagement letter dated July 16, 2009, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by
management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial
statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City¶V internal control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions
on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial
reporting. We also considered internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a
direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control
over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City¶V financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect
on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance
with those provisions was not an objective of our audit. Also, in accordance with OMB Circular A-
133, we examined, on a test basis, evidence about the City¶V compliance with the types of
compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular
A-133 Compliance Supplement applicable to each of its major federal programs for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the City¶V compliance with those requirements. While our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion, it does not provide a legal determination on the City¶V compliance
with those requirements.

Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated to
you in our engagement letter and our meeting about planning matters on September 21, 2009.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In
accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the
appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies
used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies
were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year. We noted
no transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year for which there is a lack of
authoritative guidance or consensus. Other than the prior period adjustment disclosed in
Note 3-J to the City’s financial statements, there are no significant transactions that have been
recognized in the financial statements in a different period than when the transaction occurred.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because
of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates
affecting the financial statements were:
Management’s estimate of the useful lives of depreciable capital assets is based on
the length of time it is believed that those assets will provide some economic benefit
in the future.
Management’s estimate of the accrued compensated absences is based on current
hourly rates and policies regarding payment of sick and vacation banks.
Management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible receivable balances is
based on past experience and future expectation for collection of various account
balances.
Management’s estimate of the insurance claims incurred but not reported is based on
information provided by the entity’s third party administrators and subsequent claims
activity.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining
that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
Page 3
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and
completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified
during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level
of management. The attached schedule summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the financial
statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and
in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. As described in finding 2009-1 of
the City’s single audit, we proposed (and management approved) a material audit adjustment to
the City’s financial statements. In our opinion, this adjustment had a material effect on the City’s
financial reporting process.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction,
that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to
report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the attached
management representation letter dated December 17, 2009.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or
a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our
professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the
consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with
other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit’s
auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional
relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Comments and Recommendations
For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
-1-
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Lansing as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2009, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting
(internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process,
or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such
that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
The deficiencies we noted that we consider to be significant deficiencies are described in the
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs in the City’s Single Audit report.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will
not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. The deficiencies we noted that we
consider to be material weaknesses are described in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
in the City’s Single Audit report.
Other Matters
Fraud Monitoring Program – (repeat comment)
Through our inquiry of various members of management, we noted that the City does not have in
place a formal fraudmonitoring program outside of its basic internal controls. We recommend that
the City consider adopting such asystem of policies and procedures (in addition to the City’s basic
internal controls), specifically tomonitor fraud prevention and detection systems. Among these
procedures might be the establishment of aconfidential employee fraud-tips hotline, and/or periodic
surprise internal audit visits.

Bank Reconciliations
As part of our audit, we examined the bank reconciliations of the City's various accounts throughout
the fiscal year. We noted that while most bank reconciliations showed evidence of a formal review
and approval process (as required by City policy), several did not. We recommend that the City
carefully adhere to its policy that each bank reconciliation be reviewed and approved by an
individual other than the preparer, and that such review be evidenced by initialing and dating the
reconciliation.
Grant Award Recording Procedures and SEFA Preparation
The City does not have a specific process for separately identifying federal awards (as opposed to
state or local awards) in its accounting records. In connection with the City's Single Audit,
management is responsible for preparing a schedule of its expenditures of federal awards (the
SEFA). We noted that certain grants initially included on this report were ultimately determined
not to be federally funded, while at least one significant federal grant was initially overlooked. We
recommend that the City develop a procedure for properly identifying and tracking federal awards
separately from state and local awards.
Payroll Controls
The City does not currently require any formal review of changes made to the payroll system on a
regular basis, nor is there a procedure to analytically review the payroll output after each payroll is
processed. We recommend that the City put procedures in place to ensure that someone
independent of the person fulfilling the payroll processing function in human resources review a
report that summarizes all changes made to the payroll system during that payroll run, as well as
document a review, at a minimum, of a gross pay comparison.
Credit Memo Controls
There is no formal review process related to credit memos or other account adjustments for income
tax collections by a person independent of the preparation of the credit. To complete the control
loop, an edit report should be produced periodically from the income tax software and reviewed by
someone independent of the credit memo process in order to verify that all credit memos recorded
are appropriate.

Stale Checks
During our testing of the City’s cash and bank reconciliations, it came to our attention that there is a
significant number of checks that have been outstanding for more than one year. Michigan
Compiled Law (MCL) 567.234 states: “Property held for the owner by a court, state, or other
government, governmental subdivision or agency, public corporation, or public authority that
remains unclaimed by the owner for more than 1 year after becoming payable or distributable is
presumed abandoned.” The law requires the person holding unclaimed property presumed
abandoned and subject to the State’s custody, to send written notification (“due diligence letter”) to
the owner at their last known address informing them that the property is subject to be turned over
to the State of Michigan. The notice must be sent not less than 60 days before filing the report to the
State of Michigan. MCL 567.238 requires the letter to the owner along with the unclaimed property
to be filed with the State Treasurer on or before November 1 of each year for the twelve month
period ending on the immediately preceding June 30. We recommend that the City examine old
outstanding checks and follow the procedures detailed above.
Homeland Security Reporting
We reviewed all Reimbursement Cover Sheets related to the Homeland Security grant, noting that
in two instances, there was no documented evidence of review. We recommend that the City
maintain copies of the submitted requests that document the reviewer’s approval.
