INTRODUCTION
The Board of Water and Light serves Lansing, Michigan, and surrounding
areas with electricity, water and steam.
Chartered in 1885 by a vote of Lansing's citizens the BWL remains
pub is power utility in its second century of service. Lansing's city charter
vests the BWL with full and exclusive management of water, heat, steam
and electric services for the city. An eight -person board of commissioners
establishes policy which is carried out by a staff of 928 employees under
the direction of a general manager. Board members serve without pay.
They are appointed to four-year terms by the mayor with the advice
and consent of city council.

In 1989 the American Public Power
Association honored the Board of Water
and Light as one of the country's best
publicly -owned utilities. This report
M-E
summarizes our activities for the
1989 fiscal year.
RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE
On June 6, 1989, the American Public Power Association honored the
Board of Water and Light with its E. F. Scattergood System Achievement
Award. APPA gives the award each year in recognition of sustained
achievement and improved customer service in the publicly owned
electric utility industry.
The award cited the BWL for its leadership in strategic planning that
has improved the utility's productivity, reliability, quality and cost of
service, and public image.
SHARE THE SUCCESS
A key part of the BWL's strategic planning process is an innovative gain
sharing program called, "Share the Success." The program draws all of the
utility's employees into the organization's business plan by offering pay and
benefit incentives for reaching or exceeding established goals.
Employees themselves establish proposed performance measures
that are reviewed by a management committee. Depending on the
utility's performance the Share the Success program results in bonuses
ranging from zero to five percent of base annual pay. Employee repre-
sentatives also recommend benefit options that may be purchased with
Share the Success credits. These range from cash, to purchased vacation
time, to long term disability or other
insurance options.
In its first two years of operation,
the BWL's Share the Success program
resulted in net utility savings of $3.9
million while distributing $2.2 million
in employee bonuses. The program,
believed to be one of the first of its kind,
has been widely acclaimed by other
public power utilities and by community
leaders in the Lansing area.
SUGGESTION AWARDS
The BWL's Suggestion Award Plan
recorded a record individual payout
in September. Dave Nico, a shift
supervisor at the Ottawa Station, was
awarded $2,962 for his suggestion to
cut costs by shutting down some of the
station's equipment during specific hours.
Nico's suggestion saved an estimated
$29,000 in its first year of operation.
The award was the highest made since a recent plan revision
increased the maximum award from $1,000 to $5,000.
For the fiscal year, 232 BWL employees submitted suggestions that
save the utility an estimated $96,902 per year in operating costs.
Award payouts totaled $14,244 to 71 employees.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE
In April, the BWL was one of 13 Michigan companies honored with an
Environmental Excellence Award from the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources. The award recognized two projects that recycle by-products as
an alternative to disposal in solid waste landfills.
The first project involves BWL experiments that use flyash on agricultural
land to increase crop yields. The second utilizes a combination of fl asl
and cement as a substitute or sand for backfill in construction projects.
The projects support a long-term BWL goal to eliminate all landfill
disposal of its by-products.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Each ear, the BWL conducts a survey of
Y - Y
its residential customers to gauge attitudes .
and perceptions. For the fourth straight
Year, customers gave the utility high
marks in nearly all areas.
When asked to rate their overall
feelings about the BWL, 80 percent
gave a favorable response. This was
10 percent above the average among some 26 utilities for which Market
Opinion Research (MOR) conducts customer attitude surveys. Favorability
was highest among electric customers, who gave the BWL an 84 percent
rating. More significantly, 86 percent said the electric rates charged by the
BWL are reasonable. This was eight percentage points better than the next
highest utility and 25 percent above the average of utilities surveyed by
MOR. The survey consisted of telephone interviews with a random sample
of 500 residential customers. The estimated sampling error is plus or minus
4.5 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
ELECTRIC UTILITY
Electric and Water utility employees responded to the hottest and driest
summer in memory in FY 1988-89.
Four new net system peak demands were established between July 6 and
August 3, 1988. During that period the system peak demand skyrocketed
from 394,936 kilowatts (KW) on July 9, 1987, to 445,373 KW on
August 3, 1988. During the summer, the BWL met electric demand of its
own retail customers while selling additional power to capacity -short utilities
in the midwest.
Generating units produced 2,817,284 megawatt hours (MWH)
of electricity during the fiscal year, an
increase of more than 144,000 MWH
over the previous year. At the some time,
the BWL enjoyed the third lowest heat
rate in its history. ft
The BWL continued expansion of electric
service to suburban customers. Voters in
Delhi, Meridian and DeWitt townships
confirmed 30-year electric franchises
negotiated with their townships.
The Watertown Township Board of
Trustees approved a new 20-year
franchise. The BWL has new franchises
in place in seven surrounding townships,
the maximum service territory currently
permitted by Michigan law.
New developers in the fringe areas of the
BWL's territory can now choose between
Consumers Power Company and the
BWL. In 35 situations in which customers
j
had a choice in 1989, 29 chose to
■
take electricity from the BWL. Suburban
customers account for 33.8 percent of
the BWL's electric revenue, an increase of
Mir
eight percent in the last three years.
■
For the second straight year, two teams of
Line Department employees competed in
the National Linemen's Rodeo in Kansas
City, Missouri. Linemen Roger Sherman and Dan Bailey, and Apprentice
Lineman Ken Dudley II walked off with first place honors in two events.
Linemen AI Simpson and Frank Baron and Apprentice lineman Marianne
Edington placed first in the Single Phase Transformer Changeout event.
For the second year, Dudley won the Hurt Man Rescue event in competition
with 22 other apprentice linemen. Edington placed fifth and received a
standing ovation from the crowd as the first and only woman to compete
in the national rodeo.
WATER UTILITY
Dry weather challenged several water systems in the Lansing area in
the summer of 1988. Suburban systems on either side of the BWL
imposed lawn sprinkling bans but BWL customers were free to use
water as they desired.
Maximum daily pumr-age fnr� r }uV7-at--3-&.--�-3 m4im on -
gallons. This was one million gallons below the all-time daily record set
12 years earlier. The system's pumpage capacity is 52 million gallons.
Water sales for the year totaled 7,059 million gallons.
All municipal systems in the Lansing area draw their water from deep
water wells drilled into the Saginaw
Aquifer which underlies the entire region.
Some municipal systems experienced
water shortages while others, including
\ the BWL, had enough for their own
customers with capacity left over.
Currently, however, no large scale inter-
e it connections exist.
In February, 1989, BWL officials
convened a meeting of all area water
systems to discuss regional cooperation in
meeting future water needs. As a result of
that meeting, ten area municipalities are
participating in a study to determine the
feasibility of various regional approaches.
The study will look into interconnecting .
distribution systems as well at joint
ownership of future facilities built to
meet water needs in the area.
The BWL's Water Utility was honored with
the American Water Works Association
safety award of excellence. It was the
third straight year water utility employees
and support staff won the award.
In February, a team of Water Distri-
bution employees won a statewide
water tap contest sponsored by the
Michigan Section of the American
Water Works Association.
The team was coached by Bill DeClercq and consisted of Leon Flores,
Mary Hall and Scott Wilkinson. The contest is held to determine which
team can tap a 314 inch residential water service on a pressurized six-inch
main in the fastest time, and with no safety violations. The BWL team's
winning time was one minute, 55 seconds, a full 30 seconds faster than
the second place finishers.
Taste, like beauty, is a subjective measurement. But`the judgment of
area residents that BWL water tastes good was confirmed in 1989 by
a national slate of judges. At a national symposium in Tucson, Arizona,
BWL water finished second among 20 entries in a taste testing contest.
The contest was sponsored by the America Water Resources Association.
STEAM UTILITY
The BWL Steam Uti.lity plays an important role in redeveloping downtown
Lansing. Several major new developments connected or committed to
the district heating system during 1989, The new Michigan Library and
Historical Center is the largest of these, with 3.20,000 square feet of .
building space. The 168,000 square foot Victor Office Building, 302,000
square foot Grand Tower, and 194,000 square foot Capitol Commons
Commerce Center also signed long-term commitments to heat their build-
ings with central district steam at an estimated annual consumption of
21,322 mlb. This represents a four percent load increase in the down-
town business district.
Steam Utility rules and regulations were
revised in 1989 to encourage new
development. These revisions permit the
BWL to absorb certain costs to extend
steam service to new.customers who
sign long-term commitments to take that
service. The new rules resulted in the
system's first service main extension in
seven years.
Over 90 percent of the commercial
buildings within the central steam
district use BWL steam during the winter
heating season. Steam's market pene-
tration for summer cooling, however,
is relatively low.
In 1989 Board of Water and Light
Commissioners authorized a district
cooling feasibility study, conducted
by SFT, Inc. Under this concept, steam
would be used to power cooling equip-
ment at a centrally located chiller plant.
The equipment would produce chilled
water that would be delivered through an
underground distribution system to cool
downtown buildings.
The study examined the potential
market for a central chilled water district.
It also analyzed the capital costs for
constructing the system and the rates necessary to support it. The study
compared those rates with the costs that downtown building owners incur
when cooling their buildings with customer -owned equipment.
The consultant concluded that a central chilled water district is feasible
and could provide building owners with chilling capability at a lower cost
than they incur by providing their chilling needs independently. Based on
the findings BWL commissioners have authorized staff to proceed with
a more detailed analysis and to seek preliminary commitments from
potential customers.
F�
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
The utility's commitment to safety extends beyond the walls of its own
facilities. For the third year, Electric Utility employees traveled to area
elementary schools. Aided by an energized model of an overhead electric
distribution system and a cartoon character named "Louie the Lightning
Bug," they teach youngsters to "play it.safe around electricity." The pro-
gram was presented to 117 elementary school classes during the 1988-
89 school year and was seen. by 3,300 students. In its three years of
existence, the electric safety program has been delivered to more than
8,000 young students in the BWL service' area..
From December through February, the BWL used billing stuffers to solicit
help for those without funds to meet
basic energy needs. As in past years,.
customers responded generously,
donating $32,000 to the. Energy Bank
Envelope Campaign. The Community
Services and Referral Center administers
■ ■ the program and Clinton Bank and Trust
donates free accounting services.
Since the program began in 1982,
BWL customers have.donoted more
■ than $150,000 through the Energy
Bank campaign.
In October, BWL employees celebrated
Public Power Week by urging customers
to register to vote. Registration booths
were set up at several locations and 100
new voters registered in time to partici-
pate.in the .November general election.:
i
■ ■ Once a month, some 45 BWL employees
give .up a lunch hour'to ensure others may
enjoy a nutritious meal. They deliver hot
meals to home -bound older citizens in
.the greater Lansing area. The TrPCounty
Office on Aging operates.the. program,
helping elderly people maintain
independent lives while staying in their
own homes.
BWL employees also continued their
tradition of generosity towards the annual United Way campaign, pledg-
ing a record $104,000 in contributions. Some 87 percent of all BWL
employees participated, pledging an average of $1 10 per employee
to United Way.
On the fourth Tuesday of every month, BWL commissioners meet in public
session to establish policy for our utility. The public is invited to -attend these
meetings, which begin at 5:30 p.m. on the second floor of the BWL office
building, 123 West Ottawa.

RENEWED COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
From 1984 to 1988 the BWL recorded major improvements in its safety
record. In the span of four years, the utility's accident incident rate dropped
from double the national average for electric utilities, to half the national
average. Employee efforts were rewarded by three straight national safety
awards from the. American Public Power Association between 1985 and
1987. The American Water Works Association conferred national safety
awards on the BWL from 1986 through 1988.
In the span of eight months, the BWL family was shaken by two work -
related fatal accidents. The deaths of veteran employees William Duskey
and Ronald Ruby were the first work -related fatalities in more than 17 years
at the utility.
The dual tragedies triggered an intensive
review of safety practices at the BWL.
General Manager Joseph Pandy, Jr.
directed each division, as well as the Joint
Safety Committee and individual depart-
ment safety committees to conduct
independent reviews of the BWL safety
program. The dual path approach
assured the broadest input from all
employees in the organization. Employ-
ees were specifically asked to review:
• BWL safety programs
• Procedures and traffic control
• Resources dedicated to safe
working conditions
• Management/employee interaction
on safety matters
• Joint Safety Committee activities
• Safety attitudes at the BWL
The BWL system -wide safety task force
responded with 194 recommendations
covering 30 broad areas of safety
activity. As a result, the following
CAUTIO
.AM
measures are being taken to assure that safety remains foremost on the
minds of all BWL employees:
Organizational emphasis —The organization's basic measurement of safety
performance, called total safety performance, or TSP, has been given top
priority in the Share the Success gain -sharing program. Monthly safety
meetings are established throughout the.organization. Pre -job safety
planning sessions are held prior to beginning each field job.
Individual emphasis —Employees are now individually rewarded for their
safety performance during the year. Employees who work for an entire year
with no work -related accidents may qualify.for a special safety bonus equal
to one percent of base annual pay. Specific responsibilities to encourage
safe work habits have been added to all
—bevels of BWL supervision and
are incorporated in the performance ap-
W6&6& praisal system.
Staff realignment —Safety and training
responsibilities have been centralized
under the Human Resources Division.
The Safety Section has added the
position of Field Safety Representative
to help departments develop safety pro-
grams and encourage safe work habits.
■ ■ Safety Communication —Safety bulletin
■ , boards have been set up at all BWL work
locations and a safety orientation hand-
book written and distributed to all employ-
, ees. A new utility -wide safety newsletter is
published on a regular basis.
Safety Manual Update —
A complete overhaul of the BWL safety
manual has been undertaken by a six -
member committee consisting of union
and management representatives.
Overall, our goal is to keep
safety uppermost in the minds of all
BWL employees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor, Members of City
Council, and Commissioners of
the Board of Water and Light
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Board of Water
and Light —City of Lansing as of June 30, 1989 and 1988, and the
related statements of income, changes in city equity, and changes in
financial position for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Board's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 state-
ments. 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 audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Board of Water and
Light —City of Lansing, as of June 30, 1989 and 1988, and the results of
its operations and changes in financial position for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits of the financial statements of the Board of Water and Light —
City of Lansing for the years ended June 30, 1989 and 1988, were made
for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The information on pages 20 through 23 is presented
for purposes of additional analysis 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, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1989 AND 1988
NOTE F—TRANSACTIONS WITH THE CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
OPERATIONS —The Board recognized revenues of $5,245,133 and $5,004,565 in 1989 and 1988 respectively, for water, electric, and steam services
provided to the City. The Board recognized expenses for sewerage services purchased from the City of $157,985 and $183,751 in 1989 and 1988,
respectively.
EQUITY RETURNED —The Board returned to the City $4,673,499 in 1989 and $4,646,254 in 1988 of operational cash flow in excess of debt service
requirements.
NOTE G—RETIREMENT PLAN
PLAN DESCRIPTION —The Board has a noncontributory pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees. A participant's interest shall be fully vested
when the participant has been credited with 10 years of vesting service.
FUNDING STATUS AND PROGRESS —The amount labeled as the "pension benefit obligation' in the accompanying table is a standardized disclosure measure of
the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases, estimated to be pa able in the future as a result of employee ser-
vice to date. The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is intended to (a) help users assess the pension plan's funding status
on a going -concern basis, (6) assess progress being made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and (c) allow for comparisons among
other municipal utility pension plans. The measure is independent of the actuarial funding method used to determine contributions to the pension plan.
The pension benefit obligation was determined as part of an actuarial valuation of the Plan as of February 28, 1989 and 1988. Valuation data was
projected forward to June 30, 1989 and 1988. Significant actuarial assumptions used in determining the pension benefit obligation include (a) a rate of
return on the investment of present and future assets of 7.5% in 1989 and 1988, compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases of 5.5% in 1989 and
1988, compounded annually, attributable to inflation, (c) additional projected salary increases ranging from 0.0% to 5.3 % in 1989 and 1988, depending
on age, attributable to seniority/merit, and (d) the assumption that benefits will not increase after retirement.
At June 30, 1989 and 1988, the assets in excess of pension benefit obligation were $15,295,002 and $7,477,525, respectively, as follows:
JUNE 30
1989 1988
Net assets available for plan benefits, at market $98,993,574 $85,945,213
Pension benefit obligation:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits and
terminated employees with vested benefits $31,494,631 $28,169,649

Nonvested benefits —employer financed 6,454,643 6,253,334
TOTAL PENSION BENEFIT OBLIGATION $83,698,572 $78,467,688
ASSETS IN EXCESS OF PENSION BENEFIT OBLIGATION _4 $15,295,002 $7,477,525
CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND CONTRIBUTIONS MADE —The pension plan'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 years ended June 30, 1989 and 1988, were determined usingg an attained age actuarial funding method. Clverfunded
actuarial accrued liabilities were amortized as a level dollar contribution over a period of 30 years.
During the year ended June 30, 1989 and 1988, employer contributions totalin $3,894,037 and $3,413,062, respectively, were made in accordance with
contribution requirements determined by an actuarial valuation of the Plan as ofFebruary28, 1988 and 1987. In 1989 and 1988, employer contributions
consisted of $4,414,306 and $3,939,304, respectively, for normal costs less $520,269 and $526,242, respectively, for amortization of the overfunded
actuarial accrued liability. The employer contributions for 1989 and 1988 represented 12.20% and 1 1.35%, respectively, of projected covered payroll
(projected payroll is equal to 1.036822 times February 28, 1988 and 1987, valuation payroll).
There were no changes in the actuarial assumptions or methods or changes in benefit provisions affecting the February 28, 1988, actuarial valuation.
A change in benefit provisions reflected in the February 28, 1987, actuarial valuation increased the contribution by $54,128.
Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contribution requirements were the same as those used to compute the standardized measure of the
pension benefit obligation.
ANALYSIS OF FUNDING PROGRESS —Analysis of the dollar amounts of net assets available for plan benefits, pension benefit obligation and assets in excess of
the pension benefit obligation, in isolation, can be misleading Expressing net assets available for plan benefits as a percentage o� the pension benefit
obligation provides one indication of the extent to which the Plan is funded. Analysis of this percentage over time indicates whether the Plan is becoming
financially stronger or weaker. Trends in unfunded pension benefit obligation and annual covered payroll are both affected by inflation. Expressing the assets
in excess of the pension benefit obligation as a percentage of the annual covered payroll approximately adjusts for the effects of inflation and aids analysis
of the Plan's funding progress.

A separate report —Plan for Employees' Pension of the Board of Water and Light —provides historical trend information regarding progress made in
accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due.
The amount due the pension plan (see Note E) results from unfunded current service costs for the years 1968 through 1972 and is included in plan assets for
actuarial valuation purposes.
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Board provides certain hospitalization major medical, and life insurance benefits for retired employees.
Substantially all of the Board's employees may become eligible for these benefits if Ly reach normal retirement age while working for the Board. These
benefits are provided through an insurance company whose premiums are based on the benefits paid during the year. The Board recognizes the cost of
providing these benefits by expensing the annual insurance premiums, which were $994,164 for 1989 and $866,880 for 1988.
NOTE H—CONTINGENCIES
The Board is involved in various legal actions which have arisen in the normal course of business. Such actions are usually brought for claims in excess c
possible settlement or awards, if anyy, that may result. After taking into consideration legal counsel's evaluation of pending actions, management is of the
opinion that the outcome thereof will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Board.
NOTE I —POWER SUPPLY PURCHASE
In 1983, the Board entered into power supply and project support contracts with the Michigan Public Power Agency (MPPA), of which the Board is a
member. Under the agreement the Board will purchase 64.29% of the energy generated by MPPA's 37.22% ownership in Detroit Edison's Belle River Unit
#1, which became operational'in August 1984. These contracts require the Board to purchase approximately 15 megawatts of power in 1991, increasing to
156 megawatts in 1995 and thereafter. Detroit Edison has agreed to repurchase 100% of MPPAs entitlement from 1984 to 1991. The price of this power will
be calculated on a basis, as specified in the contracts, to enable MPPA to recover its production, transmission, and debt service costs. During the repurchase
period, MPPA will use the net cash flow generated from the sell back to Edison to retire a portion of the outstanding bonds.
In connection with the Belle River purchase, MPPA issued $590,000,000 of Belle River Project Revenue Bonds in September 1983. In March 1986, MPPA
defeased $335,000,000 of the initial Revenue Bonds with interest rates ranging from 10-3/8% to 10-5/8% through the sale of $369,365,000 of refunding
bonds with interest rates ranging from 5% to 7-3/8%.
NOTE J—DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The Board of Water and Light offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with I.R.C. Section 457. All amounts of
compensation deferred under the plan have been recorded as Board assets (Note A) and all property ri�hts purchased with such amounts, and all income
attributable to such amounts, property, or rights are (until made available to the employee or other bene iciary) solely the property and rights of the Board of
Water and Light and (without being restricted to the provisions of benefits under the Ian) subject only to the claims of the Board of Water and Light's general
creditors. In the past, the plan assets have been used only to pay benefits. The BoardofWater and Light believes it is unlikely that it will use the assets to
satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future. The plan is administered by a trustee, The International City Management Association Retirement
Corporation. The value of the plan assets at June 30, 1989 and 1988, was $10,502,527 and $8,721,395, respectively.
NOTE K—CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The Board maintains special purpose cash and investment funds designated to meet specific operating requirements. The total of these special purpose funds
is presented on the combined balance sheet as "Other cash and securities." In addition, investments are separately held by several of the Board's funds.
The captions on the June 30, 1989, balance sheet related to cash and investments are as follows:

Due to higher cash flows at certain times of the year, the Board's investment in uncollateralized deposits, unregistered securities, and in repurchase
agreements for which the underlying securities were held by the bank increased significantly at times. The maximum amount during the year of "Uninsured
and unregistered" securities was $16,928,622, and "Uninsured and uncollateralized" deposits was $61,730,213.
The Board did not violate any legal or contractual provisions for deposits and investments during the year.
