ADJOURNMENT: The City Commission Meeting adjourned at 7:03 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ann Marie Becker, MMC City Clerk City of Muskegon Planning Department Memo To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission From: Mike Cameron, Code Coordinator CC: Bryon Mazade, City Manager Date: March 17, 2010 Re: Vacant Building Registration revisions Attached you will find a number of suggested language changes to our Vacant Building Registration ordinance that will clarify portions of the ordinance and make compliance with our ordinance easier for property owners. The main scope of these proposed changes by staff is to exempt two new classifications of structures from our fee requirements, not require these two new classifications to notify us during periods of occupancy and drop the requirement to notarize registration forms prior to submittal. I have attached a copy of the ordinance with the proposed language changes. The first suggested changes are to add a new Subsection (b) (1) (F) “Seasonal Residence” and add a new Subsection (b) (G) “Vacation Home”. The purpose of the seasonal residence language proposed is to exempt from fee, residents that go to other states to temporarily reside. This type of resident is sometimes referred to as a snowbird. The addition of “Vacation Home” is for the purpose of exempting valid vacation homes in our community from the fee requirements of the ordinance. Both of these two additional types of occupancies would still be required to register as vacant so that we can better monitor these homes for some of the issues that they share with other vacant properties, but in these cases, by their very nature, the owner fully intends to return to the homes and occupy them. By requiring registration this would enable us to continue sharing information regarding these locations with other city departments such as Public Safety or DPW, so it could be used in case of an emergency, or a need to officially notify someone in control of the property as quickly as possible. Staff is also proposing to drop the requirement in Section 2 “Applicability”, which requires that the Vacant Building Registration form must be notarized. This has proven to be a hardship for many of our registrants and staff feels it is not necessary to the proper administration of the program. Also in this section and Section 3, staff would like to add the word “annually” to clarify that the fee is billed every year. Also in Section 3 “Registration statement and fees; local agent.” Staff is proposing that a seasonal residence or vacation home must provide alternate contact information of someone 1 located in this state. This person could be a relative, family friend or neighbor that the city could contact if there were an issue with the property. This is already a requirement for all out of state property owners but we wanted to clarify it to apply to these two new classifications. This is partially because these new classifications of owners may be unreachable due to travel, business or vacations. Additionally, by nature of the uses of these homes and the personal items left in the homes, they could be more susceptible to illegal activities, such as break-ins, than a completely empty building void of all possessions. Staff is proposing changes to Section 5 “One time waiver of registration fee.” The proposed changes are so that a waiver could not be granted to a property owner that is not current with their other financial obligations to the city. We have had a number of waiver requests by property owners that owed taxes or other fees and staff had to grant the waivers under our existing language. In Section 7 (c) “Duty to amend registration statement.” As mentioned earlier, staff is proposing that the two new classifications of structures would not be liable for fees imposed under this ordinance but would be required to register. Those proposed changes are codified in this section. Page 2 CITY OF MUSKEGON MUSKEGON COUNTY, MICHIGAN ORDINANCE NO. _______ An Ordinance amending Chapter 10, Section 107 of the Code of Ordinances concerning annual registration of vacant buildings and registration fees.

Box 536, Muskegon, MI 49443-0536 http://www.shorelinecity.com 5 THE CITY AND THE REGION The City of Muskegon is located in Western Michigan on the shores of Lake Michigan. The City covers eighteen square miles and, with a population of approximately 40,000, is the largest city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. The City is located in Muskegon County and is part of the Muskegon-Norton Shores MSA. Muskegon is home to many outstanding sports, recreation and cultural activities: • Michigan Adventure, located north of the city, is the largest amusement park complex in Michigan. The City provides water to both the amusement park and the water park located on the site. • For 50 years, Muskegon has been home to a minor league professional hockey franchise (IHL Muskegon Lumberjacks). The team plays in the 5,000 seat L. C. Walker Arena in downtown Muskegon. • Muskegon is the eastern terminus for the high speed cross-lake ferry. Connecting Muskegon with Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the service ferries 100,000-plus passengers each season between the two cities. 2009 marked the ferry service’s sixth successful year of operations. • Muskegon is home to the annual Miss Michigan pageant. • Pere Marquette beach is nationally recognized as one of the best beaches in the nation and is the only beach in Michigan to receive and maintain the Blue Wave Certification by the Clean Beaches Council. The Blue Wave certification identifies the nation's cleanest, safest and most environmentally well-managed beaches. • Muskegon is home to successful summertime festivals that attract tens of thousands of visitors to the community. These include Muskegon Summer Celebration which brings top name musical groups to town for 11 days of waterfront music celebration and the Bike Time festival which attracts thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to the city each July. • Muskegon is the cultural hub for West Michigan with numerous museums and live performances. The Muskegon Museum of Art has one of the best art collections in the Midwest, and the Muskegon County Museum provides insight into the area’s history. The former residences of Muskegon’s lumber barons, Charles H. Hackley and Thomas Hume, proudly display the glory of the Victorian ages. The Fire Barn Museum takes visitors back to a 1890s Muskegon Fire Station. The West Shore Symphony and Muskegon Civic Theater bring the stage of The Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts to life throughout the year. • Muskegon is home to three historic museum ships that attract thousands of visitors each year: • USS Silversides, a rare surviving World War II submarine maintained in pristine condition; • LST-393, a landing craft used in the D-day invasion and one of only two such vessels remaining in existence; and the 6 • Milwaukee Clipper, a Great Lakes passenger ship built before the Titanic that for many years served as a cross-lake ferry between Muskegon and Milwaukee. Muskegon operates under a Commission-Manager form of government and provides a full range of traditional municipal services. These include police and fire protection, parks and recreation activities, public works operations, water and sewer services, solid waste collection, community development and general administrative support services. The City also provides treated water to several surrounding communities on a wholesale basis. COMPONENT UNITS The City has four discretely presented component unit types. These entities are discretely presented in the financial statements as the governing boards of the component units are appointed and approved by the City’s governing board: • The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) which exists primarily for the purpose of financing redevelopment activities in the City’s downtown area. The DDA has issued bonds that are repaid through tax increment revenues generated from development within the Authority’s boundaries. • The Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA), which exists primarily for the purpose of financing redevelopment activities in a sub-section of the City’s downtown area. The TIFA generates tax increment revenues through development within the Authority’s boundaries. • The Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA) issues bonds for development activities in the City’s industrial park and high-tech park areas. Bonds are repaid through tax increment revenues generated by development within the Authority’s boundaries. • The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA), which exists primarily for the purpose of financing redevelopment of designated environmental brownfields. The BRA generates tax increment revenues through development within its boundaries. LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK Muskegon is fortunate to have a diverse local economy. The manufacturing sector is strong in the areas of aerospace, chemicals, plastics, paper products, metals and castings, office furniture and automotive parts. The City of Muskegon also benefits from being home to large government, corrections, healthcare, and educational employers. Local income tax withholdings remitted by these employers provide stability to City finances in times of economic weakness. Still, Muskegon has been heavily impacted by the current economic recession. Area unemployment has reached 17 percent and the resultant impact in City income tax revenue has been severe. There are signs, though, that recovery has started. According to the W.E. Upjohn Institute’s most recent local economic forecast: 7 “(T)he Muskegon region’s economic indicators moved in a positive direction last quarter, which suggests that employment conditions may finally begin to improve during the first part of 2010. Initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits fell by 9.1 percent last quarter and were down by 36.9 percent over the past year—an indication that fewer layoffs have been occurring in the area. Additionally, there are signs of life in the housing market: new- dwelling-unit contracts rose by 23.9 percent during the quarter and are up slightly over the past year.” MAJOR INITIATIVES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Among the City's major initiatives and accomplishments in 2009 were the following: • Development activity in the City’s downtown continued: • Baker College’s new $11.0 million culinary arts institute was opened to students in 2009, The facility includes state-of-the-art training facilities as well as student-staffed restaurants open to the public; • Additional condominiums in the Heritage Square “live-work” development were started. A total of twenty-two units are planned for this downtown development. • Work continued on a major $12 million auto dealership expansion encompassing GM, Honda and Hyundai brands. The City assisted in this project with the creation of a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and securing a low-interest state loan to help finance environmental work. • Muskegon Correctional Facility, a state prison that had been scheduled to close, instead will remain open to house prisoners from the State of Pennsylvania. This innovative intergovernmental contract will save 250 local jobs. • Significant efforts at local intergovernmental cooperation and consolidation were made during the year including: • Discussions to consolidate Muskegon’s fire services with surrounding township and city governments; • Contract implemented with County Prosecutor Office to prosecute local ordinance violations. This will save $100,000 annually over having private contracted attorneys perform service. 8 OTHER INFORMATION INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS The City’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure that is designed to ensure adequate protection of the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse, and adequate accounting data to allow for preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the costs of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the City’s internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurances of proper recording of financial transactions. BUDGETARY CONTROL Budgetary control is maintained through an annual budget resolution passed by the City Commission. Budgetary control at the functional level is maintained by review of estimated expenditures prior to making purchases. Encumbrances are not recorded in the City’s funds. The City does, however, utilize an informal monitoring system to facilitate budgetary control over proposed purchases. Essentially, this system entails the use of on-line budgetary information that details year-to-date “actual versus budgeted” expenditure comparisons by budget category. This information is accessible to appropriate personnel to enable them to ascertain the budget status of an expenditure category prior to authorizing additional purchases. FINANCIAL POLICIES The City’s financial policies are reviewed and updated bi-annually. One of the more significant policy standards provides that the City maintain a General Fund fund balance equal to at least 10% of prior expenditures. The revenue falloff triggered by the 2008 financial crisis and recession caused the City to fall short of this standard in 2009. Program and staff reductions were made, but were not sufficient to keep the year-end fund balance from falling to 6.3% of prior year expenditures. Additional budgetary adjustments will be implemented in the first half of 2010 to better align General Fund revenues and expenditures. It should be noted too that the City maintains a separate Budget Stabilization fund that had a $1.5 million balance at year-end. DEBT ADMINISTRATION At December 31, 2009, the total of City bonds and contractual debt outstanding (including discretely presented component unit debt) was $35,345,733. No new long term debt was issued by the City or its component units in 2009. 9 In March 2010, Standard & Poor’s upgraded the City’s general obligation debt rating from A to A+. In 2009 Standard & Poor’s upgraded the City’s water system revenue debt from A- to AA-. The AA- rating on water system revenue bonds was affirmed in March 2010 in conjunction with the refunding of $6,030,000 in outstanding bonds. The refunding achieved net present value savings of $334,200 or, 5.54% of refunded principal. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The City has transferred administrative responsibility for defined benefit pensions to the statewide Municipal Employees Retirement System (MERS) of Michigan. This was done to achieve the economies of scale and investment diversification that the $5 billion MERS program offers. All new employees hired by the City since 2007 are covered by a defined contribution retirement program. The City also provides post-retirement healthcare benefits for retirees and their dependents. Since 1987, the City has had an actuarial valuation of its post employment healthcare obligation prepared regularly and has followed a program of prefunding the obligation in the same manner as its pension obligations. In 2005, the City implemented the requirements of GASB statements 43 and 45 – “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.” SINGLE AUDIT The City is required to have an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, “Audits of State, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations”. Information related to the single audit, including the schedule of federal awards, findings and questioned costs, and auditors’ reports on internal control over financial reporting and compliance with certain laws, regulations and grants are included herein. The financial activities related to the single audit requirements, such as the Community Development Block Grant Program, are also included in this financial report. AWARDS The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Muskegon for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2008. This marked the twenty-third consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, whose contents conform to program standards. Such reports must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement Program requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. 10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank the members of the City Commission for their continued interest and support in conducting the financial affairs of the City in a responsible and progressive manner and for their efforts in working for the betterment of the Muskegon community. We would also like to thank the many City employees who participate in the preparation of this report. Respectfully submitted, Bryon L. Mazade Timothy J.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Muskegon's 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 Muskegon, as of December 31, 2009, and the respective changes in financial position, and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and required supplementary information on pages 19 - 31 and 74 - 81 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. 316 Morris Ave., Suite 500 • P.O.

The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison information for nonmajor funds, schedule of indebtedness, and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison information for nonmajor funds, schedule of indebtedness, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other record used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other record used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United State of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. 18 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This section of the City of Muskegon’s annual financial report presents our discussion and analysis of the City’s financial performance during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Please read it in conjunction with the City’s financial statements, which follow this section. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The assets of the City of Muskegon exceeded its liabilities by $129,474,312 as of December 31, 2009. Of the total net assets, $14,904,556 (11.5%) was unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • The City’s total combined net assets decreased $2,831,518 during 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of sharply lower income tax and state shared revenues. • The City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $7,882,523, a decrease of $2,388,917 from the Figure A-1, Required Components of the prior year. City’s Annual Financial Report • The City’s General Fund reported a total fund balance of $1,638,662, a decrease of $745,063 from the prior year. The decrease is attributed to falling income tax and state shared revenues brought about by the economic recession. • The City also maintains a Budget Stabilization (or “rainy day”) Fund that reported a $1.5 million fund balance of at December 31, 2009. During the year, $500,000 of Budget Stabilization reserves were used to help stabilize General Fund finances. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This annual report consists of three parts—management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, and required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City. • The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status. 19 • The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the government, reporting individual City operations in greater detail than the government-wide statements. • The governmental funds statements tell how general government services were financed in the short-term as well as what remains available for future spending. • Proprietary fund statements offer short- and long-term financial information about activities the City operates like private businesses. • Fiduciary fund statements provide information about the financial relationships in which the City acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others, to whom the resources in question belong. The financial statements also include detailed notes that explain some of the information in the Figure A-2.

The remainder of this overview section of management’s discussion and analysis explains the structure and contents of each of the statements. Government-Wide Statements The government-wide statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net assets includes all of the government’s assets and liabilities. All of the current 20 year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid. The two government-wide statements report the City’s net assets and how they have changed. Net assets—the difference between the City’s assets and liabilities—is one way to measure the City’s overall financial health or position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net assets are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively. However, to assess the overall health of the City, one needs to consider additional nonfinancial factors such as changes in the City’s tax base. The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Muskegon itself (known as the primary government), but also legally separate component units for which the City is financially accountable. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. The government-wide financial statements of the City include the governmental activities. Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as general government, public safety, highways and streets, sanitation, economic development, parks and recreation, and interest on long-term debt. Income taxes, federal grants, property taxes and revenues from the State of Michigan finance most of these activities. Also included in the government-wide statements are the City’s business-type activities: water, sewer and marina operations. Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City’s major funds—not the City as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes. • Some funds are required by State law or other legal requirements. • The City Commission establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is properly using certain taxes and grants. The City has the following kinds of funds: • Governmental funds—Most of the City’s basic services are included in governmental funds, which focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out and (2) the balances left at year- end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps the user determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. Because this information does not 21 encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, we provide additional information on the subsequent page of the governmental funds statements that explain the relationship (or differences) between them. • Proprietary funds—Services for which the City charges customers a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. The City uses three proprietary funds: water, sewer, and marina. Proprietary funds, like the government-wide statements, provide both long-term and short-term financial information. • We use internal service funds to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities. • Fiduciary funds—The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain funds. It is also responsible for other assets that—because of a trust arrangement—can be used only for the trust beneficiaries. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net assets and a statement of changes in fiduciary net assets. We exclude these activities from the City’s government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. • Component units – Finally, the City of Muskegon’s Comprehensive Annual Financial report includes six component units: the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), the Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA), three Local Development Finance Authorities (LDFAs) and, the newly created Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA). Component units are separate legal entities for which the City of Muskegon has some level of financial accountability. The component units of the City exist primarily for the issuance and repayment of debt to finance projects in specific areas of the City. Accordingly, they are discussed below under the Capital Assets and Debt Administration heading. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE Net assets. The Statement of Net Assets provides an overview of the City’s assets, liabilities and net assets. Over time this can provide a good indicator of the City’s fiscal health. The total net assets of the City were $129,474,312 as of December 31, 2009. This is a decrease of $2,831,518 from reported net assets for the prior year. An overview of the City’s net assets follows: 22 City's Net Assets (In Thousands of Dollars) Governmental Business-Type Percentage Activities Activities Total Change 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009-2008 Current and other assets $23,192 $26,501 $7,510 $8,824 $30,702 $35,325 -13.09% Capital assets 76,739 77,490 59,912 60,002 136,651 137,492 -0.61% Total Assets 99,931 103,991 67,422 68,826 167,353 172,817 -3.16% Long-term liabilities 8,492 9,000 17,105 18,240 25,597 27,240 -6.03% Other liabilities 10,497 11,160 1,785 2,111 12,282 13,271 -7.45% Total Liabilities 18,989 20,160 18,890 20,351 37,879 40,511 -6.50% Net Assets Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 69,065 69,565 41,876 40,877 110,941 110,442 0.45% Restricted 2,956 3,557 672 822 3,628 4,379 -17.15% Unrestricted 8,921 10,709 5,984 6,776 14,905 17,485 -14.76% Total Net Assets $80,942 $83,831 $48,532 $48,475 $129,474 $132,306 -2.14% The bulk of the City’s net assets ($110,941,307 or 86%) represent investments in capital infrastructure assets, less the remaining balance of debt issued to acquire those assets. Infrastructure assets are used to provide public services to citizens and are not available for spending. Another 2.8% ($3,628,449) of the City’s net assets are legally restricted as to use. The remaining net assets ($14,904,556) are unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s operating needs and ongoing obligations. Changes in net assets. The City’s total revenues were $44,118,776, down 6.3% from 2008. About 36% of the City’s revenue stream came from charges to users of specific services such as water or sewer. Another fifteen percent came from grants from the state and federal governments and thirty-four percent was from local property and income taxes. The remainder was comprised of state revenues and other sources such as franchise fees and investment income. The total cost of all City programs and services during 2009 was $46,950,294, an increase of $309,727 from 2008. Seventy-five percent of these costs were for governmental activities such as police and fire protection, streets, parks, and general administration. The remaining twenty-five percent represents the costs of the City’s business-type activities, specifically, water, sewer and marina operations. The difference between the City’s total revenues and expenses ($2,831,518) represents the decrease in total net assets for 2009. The following table (Changes in City’s Net Assets) further breaks down the change in total net assets into year-to-year changes in individual revenue and expense categories: 23 Changes in City’s Net Assets (In thousands of dollars) Governmental Business-Type Percentage Activities Activities Total Change 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009-2008 Program revenues Charges for services $3,875 $3,877 $11,846 $11,817 $15,721 $15,694 0.17% Operating grants and contributions 6,443 5,367 - - 6,443 5,367 20.05% Capital grants and contributions 2,106 3,445 5 - 2,111 3,445 -38.72% General revenues Property taxes 8,493 8,349 - - 8,493 8,349 1.72% Income taxes 6,628 8,118 - - 6,628 8,118 -18.35% State shared revenues 3,842 4,488 - - 3,842 4,488 -14.39% All other 857 1,519 24 109 881 1,628 -45.90% Total revenues 32,244 35,163 11,875 11,926 44,119 47,089 -6.31% Governmental activities expenses Public representation 924 987 - - 924 987 -6.38% Administrative services 698 783 - - 698 783 -10.86% Financial services 2,406 2,292 - - 2,406 2,292 4.97% Public safety 13,614 13,956 - - 13,614 13,956 -2.45% Public works 2,987 3,019 - - 2,987 3,019 -1.06% Highways, streets and bridges 7,161 7,265 - - 7,161 7,265 -1.43% Community and economic development 4,140 3,175 - - 4,140 3,175 30.39% Culture and recreation 2,463 2,624 - - 2,463 2,624 -6.14% General administration 452 575 - - 452 575 -21.39% Interest on long-term debt 288 324 - - 288 324 -11.11% Business-type activities expenses Water - - 6,080 5,801 6,080 5,801 4.81% Sewer - - 5,427 5,503 5,427 5,503 -1.38% Marina and Launch Ramp - - 311 347 311 347 -10.37% Total expenses 35,133 35,000 11,818 11,651 46,951 46,651 0.64% Change in net assets before transfers (2,889) 163 57 275 (2,832) 438 -746.65% Transfers - (40) - 40 - - - Change in net assets (2,889) 123 57 315 (2,832) 438 -746.65% Net assets at beginning of year 83,831 83,708 48,475 48,160 132,306 131,868 0.33% Net assets at end of year $80,942 $83,831 $48,532 $48,475 $129,474 $132,306 -2.14% Net assets for governmental activities decreased $2,889,272 as the economic recession impacted income tax and other revenues. Net assets for business-type activities changed only slightly (an increase of $57,754) from 2008. Governmental Activities The following table (Net Cost of Selected City Functions) presents the cost of each of the City’s largest functions as well as each function’s net cost (total cost less fees generated by the activities and intergovernmental aid specifically related to the function). The net cost reflects the portion of costs funded by local tax dollars and other general resources: • The operational cost of all governmental activities during 2009 was $35,132,970. 24 • The net cost that City taxpayers paid for these activities through local property taxes and income taxes was $15,120,872, or 43% of the total. • The remaining cost was paid by user charges to those directly benefitting from the programs or by state and federal grants and contributions Net Cost of Selected City Functions (in thousands of dollars) Total Cost of Services % Change Net Cost of Services % Change 2009 2008 2009-2008 2009 2008 2009-2008 Governmental activities Public safety $13,614 $13,956 -2.45% $12,415 $12,670 -2.01% Community and economic development 4,140 3,175 30.39% 500 742 -32.61% Culture and recreation 2,463 2,624 -6.14% 1,996 2,157 -7.46% Highways, streets and bridges 7,161 7,265 -1.43% 1,964 495 296.77% Public works 2,987 3,019 -1.06% 2,561 2,610 -1.88% All other 4,769 4,961 -3.87% 3,272 3,636 -10.01% Total governmental activities $35,133 $35,000 0.38% $22,709 $22,310 1.79% Business-Type Activities The financial goal of the City’s business-type activities (i.e. water, sewer and marina operations) is to operate on a more or less “break-even” basis without making significant profit or needing general tax subsidies. For 2009, the City’s total business- type activities realized an overall increase in net assets of $57,754. Sewer Fund net assets increased $316,473 as result of a twelve percent user fee increase implemented on January 1, 2009. The Water Fund saw net assets fall $142,852 as result of lower usage brought on by the economic recession and, also, a one-time spike in operating costs resulting from a city-wide changeover in metering technology. Marina and Launch Ramp Fund net assets decreased $62,133 due to depreciation charges on state-funded dock improvements. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the major City funds, not the City as a whole. The City’s major funds for 2009 were the General Fund and the Major Street and Trunkline Fund. General Fund Highlights The General Fund receives the most public attention since it is where local tax revenues are accounted for and where the most visible municipal services such as police, fire and parks are funded. The City reforecasts its General Fund budget on a quarterly basis to 25 take into account changing economic conditions and policy priorities. The following table shows the General Fund year-end fund balance for the last five years. Prior Year’s Fund Balance as a % of Year-End Fund Year‐to‐Year % Year Balance Expenditures and Prior Year Expenditures Change (Policy Target=10% Other Uses 2009 $1,638,662 -31.26% $26,100,539 6.28% 2008 2,383,725 -18.38% 24,800,810 9.61% 2007 2,920,632 8.57% 24,498,778 11.92% 2006 2,690,039 6.76% 23,658,227 11.37% 2005 2,519,605 3.04% 23,388,020 10.77% The September 2008 financial crisis and accompanying economic recession took a heavy toll on the City’s 2009 General Fund operations. Actual 2009 General Fund expenditures and other uses were $1,055,935 under the original 2009 budget amount as significant program cuts were made during the year including: • Elimination of the curbside recycling program; • Restructuring of legal services including implementing a cost-saving contract with the county prosecutor’s office to handle local ordinance violations; • Layoff of several employees including two firefighters, the recycling coordinator, an electrical inspector, a city planner and a clerical position. • Various other positions were eliminated through attrition. General Fund revenues for 2009 were $1,561,623 lower than originally budgeted. The falloff is primarily attributable to lower income tax and state shared revenues resulting from the recession. The City used $500,000 from its Budget Stabilization (“rainy day”) Fund to help offset the decline in revenues. The City’s General Fund ended 2009 with a fund balance that decreased significantly from the prior year and fell short of the policy target (10% of prior year expenditures). Further program cuts and restructuring will be made in 2010 to better align the City’s revenues and expenditures. Major Street and Trunkline Fund Highlights The Major Street and Trunkline Fund accounts for all of the City’s street construction and maintenance activities on its primary road system. Primary funding comes from the State of Michigan. During 2009, the fund balance of the Major Street and Trunkline Fund decreased $12,066. 26 CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets At the end of 2009, the City and its component units had invested $139,798,529 in a variety of capital assets, including land, streets, equipment, buildings, water and sewer lines, and vehicles. Note D of the notes to the basic financial statements provides detailed information on the City’s capital asset investment. Major capital asset projects during 2009 included the following: • $3.2 million in street improvements • $2.4 million in water and sewer system improvements Long-Term Debt Bond Ratings At year-end 2009, the City had $27,390,885 in bonds and The City’s limited full faith and other long-term obligations outstanding. This represents a credit bonds (bonds guaranteed decrease of 6.5% from the prior year. No new debt was by the City’s taxing powers) issued in 2009. On April 1, 2010 $6,030,000 of were upgraded by Standard & Poor’s from a rating of “A” to outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds were refunded “A+” in early 2010. During 2009, with new bonds issued at lower interest rates. The net the City’s Water System present value savings from the refunding are $334,200 or revenue bonds were upgraded from “A-” to “AA-“. 5.54% of the refunded principal amount. Additional information concerning the City’s long-term debt is presented in Note H to the basic financial statements. City’s Long Term Debt – Bonds and Other Obligations (In thousands of dollars) Governmental Business-Type Percentage Activities Activities Total Change 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009-2008 Due within one year $611 $909 $1,182 $1,139 $1,793 $2,048 -12.45% Due in more than one year 8,493 9,000 17,106 18,241 25,599 27,241 -6.03% Total bonds & other obligations $9,104 $9,909 $18,288 $19,380 $27,391 $29,289 -6.48% In addition to direct City debt, component units such as the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA) had outstanding debt totaling $7,954,848 at year-end as shown in the table below. This represents a decrease of 3.6% from the prior year. No new component unit debt was issued in 2009. Debt issued by component units typically is secured by the limited full faith and credit of the City and so is an important consideration in assessing the City’s overall fiscal health. 27 Additional information concerning component units’ long-term debt is presented in Note H to the basic financial statements and is summarized as follows: Component Unit Long Term Debt – Bonds and Other Obligations (In thousands of dollars) Downtown Development Local Development Finance Percentage Total Finance Authority Authority Change 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009-2008 Due within one year $230 $220 $80 $80 $310 $300 3.33% Due in more than one year 3,245 3,475 4,400 4,479 7,645 7,954 -3.88% Total bonds & other obligations $3,475 $3,695 $4,480 $4,559 $7,955 $8,254 -3.62% ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES The City’s fiscal year 2010 capital budget anticipates spending $5,576,000 for capital projects, consisting of street improvements, water and sewer system improvements, and scheduled equipment replacements. These improvements will be funded through grants and revenues generated from operations. No new debt issuance is anticipated in 2010. From an operating standpoint, the City’s 2010 budget will entail further program and position cuts to better balance the City’s operating expenses with recurring revenue streams. The City depends on five major sources of revenue: local income taxes, local property taxes, state-shared revenues, state street funds, and water and sewer utility fees. Together, these five income sources account for about three-quarters of total City revenues. Meaningful discussion of the City’s financial outlook needs to center on these major income sources. Local Income Tax The City income tax was approved by voters in 1993 and now is the primary source of funding for police, fire, parks and other general operations. The income tax rate is 1% on City residents and ½ of 1% on non-residents working in the City. The income tax provides key advantages for core cities such as Muskegon. First, it allows the City to regionalize its tax structure by taxing non-residents who work here and use City services. Second, it allows the City to benefit from development occurring outside City limits because City residents employed by non-City employers pay income taxes. Finally, the income tax generates revenue from workers at hospitals, churches, government agencies, colleges and other institutions traditionally exempt from paying local property taxes. This is particularly important for Muskegon since it is the regional center for most such institutions. 28 Income tax revenues fell sharply from $7,694,780 in 2008 to $6,482,290 for 2009 (15.8%). For 2009, the City has revised its income tax revenue estimate at $6,200,000. The following table shows the makeup of the City’s income tax base: Average Amount Paid Number of Category 2009 Amount Paid Percent of Total 2009 2008 Payers City Resident 6,788 $ 2,541,951 39% $ 374 $ 400 Non-Resident 12,433 3,106,829 48% 250 263 Corporate 1,850 833,510 13% 669 669 Total 21,071 $ 6,482,290 100% $ 341 $ 341 Local Property Tax The City’s 2009 property tax millage consisted of 11 mills: 8.5 mills for general operations and 2.5 mills levied for sanitation. City charter authorizes a general operating millage up to 10 mills and state law permits a maximum sanitation millage of 3 mills. Millage rates are applied to the taxable value of property in the City to arrive at the City’s property tax levy. For 2010, the City is projecting $8,034,944 in property taxes. Total Assessed Percent Estimated Actual Year Value Change Value 2009 $867,330,950 -4.23% $1,734,661,900 2008 905,682,400 2.65% 1,811,364,800 2007 882,300,288 3.11% 1,764,600,576 2006 855,662,300 2.78% 1,711,324,600 2005 832,507,264 0.19% 1,665,014,528 2004 830,948,500 -0.97% 1,661,897,000 State Shared Revenues State shared sales tax revenues represent about sixteen percent of total General Fund revenue. The City’s state shared revenue allocation is made up of two parts. The constitutional component is a fixed percentage of total state sales tax collections that is allocated to cities on a per capita basis and that cannot be reduced by the legislature. The statutory component is determined by a complex formula and is subject to adjustment through the State’s budget process. Both constitutional and statutory 29 components depend, of course, on overall state sales tax collections. The City’s recent state shared revenue history is summarized below: State Shared Percent Revenues Year Change 2009 $3,841,922 -14.4% 2008 4,487,698 0.3% 2007 4,475,462 -1.8% 2006 4,556,801 -0.8% 2005 4,592,852 -1.1% 2004 4,645,348 -5.9% Continued erosion of the state shared revenue component constitutes a major on-going problem for City finances. For 2010, the City originally projected $4,071,393 in state shared revenues. However, based on the most recent information available from the State, this estimate has been reduced to $3,727,627. Street Funds The State also returns to the City a share of gasoline tax revenues to help fund maintenance and construction of major and local streets within the City. These revenues have not suffered to the extent that general state sales tax revenues have: Street Revenues from State Percent Year Change 2009 $3,177,862 -0.7% 2008 3,199,930 -2.7% 2007 3,288,098 -0.3% 2006 3,297,183 -0.7% 2005 3,319,131 -4.1% 2004 3,459,503 9.2% For 2010, the City is projecting no material change in street funds from the State of Michigan. Water and Sewer Fees From a government-wide entity perspective, combined water and sewer fees represent the City’s largest income stream totaling $11,311,367 in 2009. Charges to customers are based on the amount of metered services used times rates periodically set by the City Commission. During 2009, sewer rates were increased twelve percent as result of higher wastewater treatment and debt service charges enacted by Muskegon County. 30 A further sewer rate increases will likely be needed in 2010 due to the shutdown of a major industrial sewer customer.

City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the City of Muskegon (City) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below. Reporting Entity The City of Muskegon was incorporated October 6, 1919, under the provisions of the Home Rule Act of the State of Michigan. The City is a municipal corporation governed by an elected mayor and six-member City Commission and is administered by a city manager appointed by the City Commission. The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government's operations. Each discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements (see note below for description) to emphasize that it is legally separate from the government. Each discretely presented component unit has a December 31 fiscal year end. Blended Component Unit Building Authority. The Authority is governed by a three-member board comprised of the City Manager, City Attorney and City Finance Director. For financial reporting purposes, the Building Authority is reported as if it were part of the City’s operations since its sole purpose is to acquire and lease property to the City. Currently, there is no outstanding Building Authority indebtedness. Discretely Presented Component Units Downtown Development Authority (DDA). The Authority’s sole purpose is the collection of property tax incremental revenues, the issuance and repayment of debt and the construction of public facilities to promote and facilitate economic growth in the downtown district. Members of the DDA are appointed by the City Commission and the Authority is fiscally dependent on the City since the City Commission approves the DDA budget and must approve any debt issuance. The DDA is presented as a governmental fund type. Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA). The Authority’s sole purpose is the collection of property tax incremental revenues and promotion of economic development activities (including issuance of debt) in a sub-section of the downtown district. Members of the TIFA are appointed by the City Commission and the Authority is fiscally dependent on the City since the City Commission approves the TIFA budget and must approve any debt issuance. The TIFA is presented as a governmental fund type. Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA). The City has created three separate local development finance authority districts under the aegis of the LDFA to promote and facilitate economic growth in the Port City Industrial Park, the Medendorp Industrial Park, and the SmartZone Hi-Tech Park. The LDFA’s sole purpose is the collection of property tax incremental revenues and the construction of public facilities within the districts. Members of the LDFA are appointed by the City Commission and the Authority is fiscally dependent on the City since the City Commission approves budgets and must approve any debt issuance. The LDFA districts are presented as governmental fund types. 46 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Reporting Entity—Continued Discretely Presented Component Units—Continued Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA). The Authority’s sole purpose is the collection of property tax incremental revenues and promotion of environmental remediation (including issuance of debt) in designated brownfield areas. Members of the BRA are appointed by the City Commission and the Authority is fiscally dependent on the City since the City Commission approves the BRA budget and must approve any debt issuance. The BRA is presented as a governmental fund type. Complete financial statements of the component units can be obtained from their administrative offices, 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49443. Related Organizations The following organizations are related to the City’s financial reporting entity: Muskegon Hospital Finance Authority. The Muskegon Hospital Finance Authority was created by the City of Muskegon in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. Members of the Hospital Finance Authority are appointed by the City but the City is not financially accountable for the Authority and therefore the Authority is excluded from the accompanying financial statements. The Hospital Finance Authority’s sole purpose is to issue tax-exempt debt for the benefit of Mercy Health Partners Hospital which is located within the City. The Authority has no assets or financial activity and does not prepare financial statements. The Hospital Finance Authority has no taxing power. As of December 31, 2009, there was no outstanding debt issued by the Hospital Finance Authority. The City is not obligated in any manner for repayment of debt issued by the Hospital Finance Authority, as any debt is payable solely from contractual payments from the hospitals. Muskegon Housing Commission. The Muskegon Housing Commission was created by the City of Muskegon in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. Members of the Housing Commission are appointed by the City but the City is not financially accountable for the Commission and therefore the Commission is excluded from the accompanying financial statements. The Housing Commission’s main purpose is to administer activities that provide adequate housing facilities for low-income families and the elimination of housing conditions that are detrimental to the public peace, health, safety, and welfare. The Commission’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis prescribed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Accordingly, the summary information below (which is required by federal regulations), is not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Summary financial information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the date of its latest audited financial statements is as follows: Total assets $ 5,160,382 Total liabilities (201,660) Total net assets $ 4,958,722 Total operating income $ 343,420 Total operating expenses (2,005,893) Total nonoperating revenues 1,547,276 Change in net assets $ (115,197) 47 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirement of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements excepting agency funds which have no measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Reimbursements due for expenditure-driven grants are accrued as revenue at the time the expenditures are made, or when received in advance, deferred until expenditures are made. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Income taxes, property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. 48 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation—Continued The City reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the government'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 Major Street and Trunkline Fund accounts for gas and weight tax allocations to the City by the Michigan Department of Transportation for construction and maintenance of major streets within the City. The City reports the following three major proprietary funds: The Sewer Fund accounts for user charges and for operating expenses and debt service of the City’s sewer system. The Water Fund accounts for user charges and for operating expenses and debt service of the City’s water system. The Marina and Launch Ramp Fund accounts for user fees collected and operating expenses for the Hartshorn Marina and boat launch ramp facilities. Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: Internal Service Funds account for internal engineering services for City projects; the purchase, operation, and depreciation of all City owned equipment; the payment of insurance claims and benefits; and the operation, maintenance, and depreciation of the City’s public service building to other funds of the government on a cost reimbursement basis. The Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for another organization or individual. Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Government 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 other charges between the City's water and sewer function 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. 49 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation—Continued Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. 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 are charges to customers for sales and services. The enterprise funds also recognize as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for proprietary 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. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity Deposits and Investments 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. The City reports its investments in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Under this standard, certain investments are valued at fair value as determined by quoted market prices or by estimated fair values when quoted market prices are not available. The standard also provides that certain investments are valued at cost (or amortized cost) when they are of a short-term duration, the rate of return is fixed, and the City intends to hold the investment until maturity. The City has adopted an investment policy in compliance with State of Michigan statutes. Those statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the United States, certificates of deposit, prime commercial paper, securities guaranteed by United States agencies or instrumentalities, United States government or federal agency obligation repurchase agreements, bankers acceptances, state-approved investment pools and certain mutual funds. The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds and component units. Each fund type’s or component unit’s portion of this pool is displayed on the combined balance sheet as “cash and investments”. Cash overdrafts represent a deficit position in the pooled account and have been classified as amounts due to other funds. 50 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity—Continued Deposits and Investments—Continued For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all assets held in the cash and investment pool to be cash and cash equivalents because the investments are not identifiable to the specific funds and the assets can be withdrawn at any time, similar to a demand deposit account. In accordance with State law, interest earned in the Budget Stabilization Fund is recorded in the General Fund. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (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 activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances". Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of allowance for uncollectibles. The City bills and collects its own property taxes and also collects taxes for the county, school and State of Michigan. Taxes are levied on each December 1 on the taxable valuation of property (as defined by state statutes) located in the Local Governmental Unit as of the preceding December 31. Uncollectible real property taxes as of the following March 1 are turned over by the City to the County for collection. The County advances the City all these delinquent real property taxes. The delinquent personal property taxes remain the responsibility of the City. Taxes levied on December 1 are recorded as receivables and deferred revenue. Taxes are recognized as revenue (and become available for appropriation) in the calendar year following the levy. The 2008 state taxable value for real/personal property of the City totaled approximately $724,211,000 of which approximately $11,823,000 was captured by the component units. The ad valorem taxes levied consisted of 8.5, 2.5, and .0682 mills for the City's general operating, sanitation, and community promotion purposes. These amounts are recognized in the General Fund with captured amounts shown in the TIFA, LDFA, DDA, and BRA component units. Inventories and Prepaid Items All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of business-type funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. 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. 51 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity—Continued Restricted Assets Certain proceeds of the Water Fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net assets because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the City chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount. The City was able to obtain the historical cost of the initial reporting of these assets by recording the actual costs incurred by the City. Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Land improvements 5-25 Leasehold improvements 10-25 Buildings and improvements 25-50 Water and sewage mains 40-100 Furniture, vehicles and equipment 5-20 Infrastructure 15-50 Shared improvements 20 52 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity—Continued Compensated Absences City employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts based on length of service and employee group. Unused vacation and sick leave days are paid to employees upon termination under limits that vary by employee group. The liability for these compensated absences is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The current portion of this debt is estimated based on historical trends. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and 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 use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Comparative Data Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in selected sections of the accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the City’s financial position and operations. However, comparative (i.e. presentation of prior year’s totals by fund type) data has not been presented in each of the statements since its inclusion would make the statements unduly complex and difficult to read. Also, certain items in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. 53 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE B—STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Budgetary Information Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund and all special revenue funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary information provided in the financial statements: a. Prior to September 1, the City Manager submits to the City Commission a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. b. Public hearings are conducted at City Hall to obtain public comments. c. Prior to September 25, the budget is legally adopted by the City Commission. d. Supplemental appropriations, when required to provide for additional expenditures, are matched by additional anticipated revenues or an appropriation of available fund balance and must be approved by the City Commission. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City Manager may transfer line-item budget amounts within departments. Transfers of appropriations between departments require the approval of the City Commission. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level for the General Fund and the total expenditure or “fund” level for all other funds. The City Commission made several supplemental budgetary appropriations throughout the year. Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations During the year ended December 31, 2009, actual expenditures exceeded appropriations for the police department by $309,576 and fire department by $139,329 in the General Fund. These over-expenditures were funded with available fund balance. Fund Deficits As of December 31, 2009, the BRA Fund had an unreserved fund deficit of $10,214, the Engineering Services Fund had an unreserved fund deficit of $61,951, and the HOME Fund had an unreserved fund deficit of $316,838. The deficits will be eliminated through future operations. 54 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE C—DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS As of December 31, 2009, the City had the following investments: Weighted average maturity Fair value (Months) Moody's Percent Investment Type Money market funds $ 14,411 1.9 AAA 0.3 % US Agency obligations 3,519,785 12.4 AAA 63.5 US Treasury notes 2,011,740 6.1 not rated 36.2 Total fair value $ 5,545,936 100.0 % Portfolio weighted average maturity 10.1 Interest rate risk. The City has a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. At least 10% of the City’s total portfolio must be in instruments maturing in 30 days or less and the weighted average maturity cannot be over three years. US Agency obligations, federal instrumentality securities and time certificates of deposit cannot have a final maturity exceeding five years, repurchase agreements cannot have a final maturity exceeding one year, commercial paper cannot have a final maturity exceeding 270 days and eligible bankers’ acceptances cannot have a final maturity exceeding 180 days. Credit risk. State law limits investments in commercial paper and corporate bonds to the two highest classifications issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The City has no investment policy that would further limit its investment choices. Concentration of credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the City investment in a single issuer, by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or issuer will be minimized. The City has a concentration of credit risk policy that limits investment in commercial paper, eligible bankers acceptances and time certificates of deposit to 25% each of the total portfolio. More than 5 percent of the City’s investments are in U.S. Agency obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Bank. These investments are 18.26 percent, 36.16 percent and 9.04 percent, respectively, of the City’s investments. 55 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE C—DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS—Continued Custodial credit risk - deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits may not be returned to it. As of December 31, 2009, the City's bank balance of $15,510,515 was not exposed to custodial credit risk because it was fully insured. The City’s investment policy sets certain credit requirements that a bank must meet for the City to deposit funds in it. Custodial credit risk - investments. This 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 has a custodial credit risk policy for investments that requires that all investments that are held with a third-party for safekeeping be in the City’s name. Foreign currency risk. The City is not authorized to invest in investments which have this type of risk. Restricted Assets Restrictions are placed on assets by bond ordinance and City Commission action. At December 31, 2009, restricted cash and investments in the Water Fund of $672,000 were restricted by bond ordinance.

The County operates the system and makes payments on the bonds with user charges to the local units. The City has pledged its limited tax full faith and credit for the payment of its portion of the debt should user charges collected by the County be insufficient to make the debt payments. The City’s portion of the debt on December 31, 2009 was approximately $5,365,000. The City is unaware of any circumstances that would cause a shortfall in the near future. 64 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE H—LONG-TERM DEBT—Continued The $4,725,000 Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA) tax increment bonds of 2002 are partially guaranteed by the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.

The City manages its liability and property risk by participating in the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority (MMRMA), a public entity risk pool providing property and liability coverage to its participating members. The City pays an annual premium to MMRMA for its insurance coverage. The MMRMA is self-sustaining through member premiums and provides, subject to certain deductibles, occurrence-based casualty coverage for each incident and occurrence-based property coverage to its members by internally assuring certain risks and reinsuring risks through commercial companies. A $100,000 deductible is maintained to place the responsibility for small charges with the City. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

The City pays an annual premium to MMWCF for its workers' compensation coverage. The MMWCF is self-sustaining through member premiums and provides statutory workers' compensation coverage to its members by internally assuring certain risks and reinsuring risks through commercial companies. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. The City is self-insured for employee health care benefits for those employees selecting the City plan over other options. Under this plan, the General Insurance Fund provides coverage for up to a maximum of $350,000 per covered individual’s lifetime. As of December 31, 2009, the claims liability including incurred but not reported claims was $50,267. A liability was recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the estimated claims liability. The claims liability was based on past experience, a review of pending claims and other social and economic factors. The above estimate was not discounted and there were no outstanding claims for which annuity contracts have been purchased in the claimant’s name. No significant reductions in insurance coverage were made in the last fiscal year. Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability to the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the City's counsel the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City. Commitments At December 31, 2009, the City had entered into various agreements for construction projects and capital purchases. Below is a summary of those agreements: Remaining Fund Project Spent-to-date commitment State Grant Fund Smith Ryerson improvements $ - $ 696,870 Leases The City leases an office facility under a noncancelable operating lease that expires June 2012 with the option by the tenant to renew the term of the lease for five successive periods of five years each.

The City has an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan with the Municipal Employees Retirement System (MERS). The Plan provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to Plan members and beneficiaries. Act No. 427 of the Public Acts of 1984 of the State of Michigan assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the plans that participate in MERS to the respective employer entities; that authority rests with the City. A copy of the complete financial report and required supplemental information can be obtained by writing to: City of Muskegon 933 Terrace Street Muskegon, MI 49443 Funding Policy. City employees are required to contribute 5 to 6 percent to the Plan depending on employee contract. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially-determined rate depending upon employee group from 3.36 to 14.67 percent of annual covered payroll depending on the plan. The contributions requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by MERS. Annual Pension Cost. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the City’s annual pension cost was approximately $888,000 was equal to the City’s required and actual contribution. Trend Information Approximate Percentage Annual Pension of APC Net Pension Year ended Cost (APC) Contributed Obligation 12/31/07 $ 819,000 100 % $ - 12/31/08 1,167,000 100 - 12/31/09 888,000 100 - The required contribution was determined as part of the December 31, 2007 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 8 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), (b) projected salary increases ranging from 0 percent to 4.5 percent, and (c) 4.5 percent per year compounded annually attributable to inflation. The actuarial value of plan assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year period. The plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2008 was 9 years which will be reduced by two years in each of the next two valuations until reaching 5 years after which the 5 year period will be reestablished with each annual actuarial valuation. 69 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE K—PENSION PLANS—Continued Defined Benefit Pension Plan—Continued Funding Status and Funding Progress. As of December 31, 2008, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 100 percent funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was approximately $86,794,000, and the actuarial value of assets was approximately $86,928,000, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of approximately a negative $134,000. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was approximately $13,107,000, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was a negative 1 percent due to the plan being overfunded. The schedule of funding progress, presented as RSI following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. Defined Contribution Pension Plan The City also maintains a defined contribution plan offered by MERS and administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation, an independent third party. In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investments. Depending on employee group, the Plan covers all City employees hired after January 2005 to July 2006 and those hired earlier who elected to convert from the defined benefit plan. The authority for establishing or amending the plan’s provisions and for establishing or amending contribution requirements rests with the City Commission as determined by negotiated labor contracts. The City is required to contribute 3 percent to 10 percent of a qualified employees’ annual compensation each year depending on employee group. Qualified employees are required to contribute 0 percent to 6 percent of annual compensation depending on employee group. For the year ended December 31, 2009, City and employee contributions were approximately $122,000 and $68,000, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all full-time employees at their option, permits participants to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to participants until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. The Plan has created a trust for the exclusive benefit of the Plan’s participants and beneficiaries under rules provided by Internal Revenue Code Section 401(f). 70 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE L—OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Plan Description. The City has a retiree healthcare funding vehicle administered Municipal Employees Retirement System (MERS), an agent multiple-employer postemployment healthcare plan (OPEB). The retiree healthcare funding vehicle is established under the authority of section 115 of the IRS code and is exempt from taxation. The Plan provides health insurance to eligible retirees and their spouses. Act No. 149 of the Public Acts of 1999 of the State of Michigan assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the plans that participate in MERS to the respective employer entities; that authority rests with the City. A copy of the complete financial report and required supplemental information can be obtained by writing to: City of Muskegon 933 Terrace Street Muskegon, MI 49443 Funding Policy. Plan members are not required to contribute to the Plan. The City is required to contribute the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC) at an actuarially-determined rate which varies upon employee group from 3.9 to 9.4 percent of covered wages. 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 liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by MERS. Annual OPEB Cost. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the City’s OPEB cost (expense) of approximately $1,698,000 was equal to the City’s ARC and actual contribution. Trend Information Approximate Annual Required Percentage Contribution of ARC Net ARC Year ended (ARC) Contributed Obligation 12/31/07 $ 1,326,000 100 % $ - 12/31/08 1,476,000 100 - 12/31/09 1,698,000 100 - 71 City of Muskegon NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2009 NOTE L—OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS—Continued Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and Plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of Plan members not contributing to the Plan. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The required contribution was determined as part of the December 31, 2007 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 8 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), (b) an annual healthcare trend rate of 11 percent initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent after 10 years. Both rates assume include a 4.5 percent inflation assumption. The Plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2007 is 30 years. Funded Status and Progress. As of December 31, 2007, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 46.5 percent funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was approximately $29,722,000, and the actuarial value of assets was approximately $13,831,000, resulting in an unfunded actuarial liability (UAAL) of approximately $15,891,000. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was approximately $13,290,000, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 120 percent. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. NOTE M—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Bond Refunding On April 1, 2010, the City issued $6,185,000 million in Water System Revenue Bonds with interest rates from 2.00 to 4.25 percent to refund $6,030,000 million of outstanding 1993 and 1999 Water System Revenue Bonds with average interest rates of 4.60 percent. The City refunded the 1993 and 1999 Water System Revenue Bonds to reduce its total debt service payments over the next 10 years by $389,669 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of approximately $334,200.

The assessed and equalized valuation of taxable property is determined as of December 31st of each year and is the basis upon which taxes are levied during the succeeding fiscal year. The passage of Proposal A in May, 1994 altered how tax values are determined. Beginning in the 1995-1996 fiscal year, property taxes are based on taxable value instead of state equalized value. Proposal A also capped taxable value of each parcel of property, adjusted for additions and losses, at the previous year's rate of inflation or 5% whichever is less, until the property is sold or transferred. When ownership of a parcel of property is transferred, the taxable value becomes 50% of true cash value, or the state equalized valuation. The industrial and Commercial Facilities Tax Acts permit certain property to be taxed at one-half the tax rate for a period up to twelve years.

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 Muskegon’s internal control over financial reporting 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 of Muskegon’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Muskegon’s internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and therefore, there can be no assurance that all deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses have been identified. However, as described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be a material weakness. A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency described in Section II of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses, as 2009 Finding No. 1, to be a material weakness. 316 Morris Ave., Suite 500 • P.O.

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. The City of Muskegon’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses. We did not audit the City of Muskegon’s response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Commission, management, 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. 137 BRICKLEY DELONG CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 April 5, 2010 City Commission City of Muskegon Muskegon, Michigan Compliance We have audited the compliance of the City of Muskegon 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 December 31, 2009. The City of Muskegon’s major federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditors’ Results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the City of Muskegon’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Muskegon’s 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 a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of Muskegon’s 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 City of Muskegon’s compliance with those requirements. As described in 2009 Finding No. 2 in Section III of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses, the City of Muskegon, did not comply with requirements regarding allowable costs/cost principles that are applicable to its Community Development Block Grant and Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately-Owned Housing Grant. Compliance with such requirements is necessary, in our opinion, for the City of Muskegon, to comply with the requirements applicable to that program. In our opinion, except for the noncompliance described in the preceding paragraph, the City of Muskegon 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 December 31, 2009. 316 Morris Ave., Suite 500 • P.O.

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Muskegon’s 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, 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 City of Muskegon’s internal control over compliance. Our consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and therefore, there can be no assurance that all deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses have been identified. However, as discussed below, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a material weakness. A deficiency in 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 and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency in internal control over compliance described in Section III of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses, as 2009 Finding No. 2 to be a material weakness. The City of Muskegon’s responses to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses. We did not audit the City of Muskegon’s responses and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards We have audited the financial statements of the City of Muskegon as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and have issued our report thereon dated April 5, 2010. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. 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 financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Commission, management, 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. 139 City of Muskegon SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS For the year ended December 31, 2009 Accrued Accrued Entitlement (deferred) Cash or (deferred) Federal program or revenue payments in Amount of revenue Federal grantor/pass-through CFDA award January 1, kind received grant December 31, grantor/program title number amount 2009 (cash basis) expenditures 2009 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Direct programs Community Development Block Grant 14.218 B-08-MC-26-0026 $ 984,207 $ 478,802 $ 840,655 $ 361,853 $ - B-09-MC-26-0026 999,443 - 406,507 891,374 484,867 Program Income 42,079 - 42,079 42,079 - Passed through Michigan Department of Housing Development Authority Community Development Block Grant 14.218 Neighborhood Stabilization Program NSP-2008-0280-ENT 570,460 - 69,579 265,221 195,642 140 Program Income 16,215 - 16,215 16,215 - Total Community Development Block Grant 2,612,404 478,802 1,375,035 1,576,742 680,509 Direct programs Home Investment Partnership Program 14.239 M-06-MC-26-0215 301,767 10,790 13,116 4,426 2,100 M-08-MC-26-0215 290,049 77,937 223,612 209,212 63,537 M-09-MC-26-0215 322,469 - 48,640 184,525 135,885 Program Income 26,957 - 26,957 26,957 - Total Home Investment Partnership Program 941,242 88,727 312,325 425,120 201,522 Direct programs Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately-Owned Housing 14.900 FR-5100-N-20A 2,079,492 217,669 1,384,902 1,168,171 938 Total U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 5,633,138 785,198 3,072,262 3,170,033 882,969 City of Muskegon SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS—CONTINUED For the year ended December 31, 2009 Accrued Accrued Entitlement (deferred) Cash or (deferred) Federal program or revenue payments in Amount of revenue Federal grantor/pass-through CFDA award January 1, kind received grant December 31, grantor/program title number amount 2009 (cash basis) expenditures 2009 U.S Department of Justice Direct programs Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant 16.607 2007 Grant $ 7,788 $ - $ 6,088 $ 6,088 $ - Justice Assistance Grant 16.738 2009-DJ-BX-0692 52,970 - - 36,088 36,088 Passed through the Ottawa County WEMET Multi-Jurisdictional Drug 16.738 Enforcement CO-OP 70834-109B 15,594 9,907 15,594 5,687 - 141 Total U.S. Department of Justice 76,352 9,907 21,682 47,863 36,088 U.S Department of Energy Direct programs Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant 81.128 041714125 181,600 - 181,600 320 (181,280) U.S Department of Health and Human Services Passed through the Michigan Department of State Voting Access for Individuals with Disabilities Program 93.617 16,750 - - 16,750 16,750 TOTAL FEDERAL ASSISTANCE $ 5,907,840 $ 795,105 $ 3,275,544 $ 3,234,966 $ 754,527 City of Muskegon NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS For the year ended December 31, 2009 1.

Condition: Grant revenues were not properly recorded which caused grant revenues and receivables to be misstated as of the year end. Cause: The City did not record all adjustments necessary to properly recognize grant revenues in the appropriate year. Effect: City records required year end adjustments. Recommendation: Year end procedures for reconciling grant receivables and associated revenues should be improved. City Response: The City recognizes the need for better interdepartment coordination and communication between finance operations and the grant receiving department. Policies will be instituted to ensure grant receivable amounts are reconciled between departments on a regular basis. 144 City of Muskegon SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES—CONTINUED Year ended December 31, 2009 SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS COMPLIANCE U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2009 Finding No. 2: Community Development Block Grant CFDA: 14.218 Award Number: B-08-MC-26-0026, B-09-MC-0026, NSP-2008-0280-ENT Award Year End: December 31, 2009 Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately-Owned Housing Grant CFDA: 14.900 Award Number: FR-5100-N-20A Award Year End: December 31, 2009 Specific Requirement: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Criteria: The cost principle of OMB Circular A-87 requires, “…Where employees are expected to work solely on a single federal award or cost objective, charges for their salaries and wages will be supported by periodic certifications that the employees worked solely on that program for the period covered by the certification. These certifications will be prepared at least semi-annually and will be signed by the employee or supervisory official having first hand knowledge of the work performed by the employee. …Where employees work on multiple activities or cost objectives, a distribution of their salaries or wages will be supported by personnel activity reports or equivalent documentation. Personnel activity reports must be prepared at least monthly and must coincide with one or more pay periods and they must be signed by the employee.” Condition: During our detailed testing, we noted that none of the employees whose wages and benefits were charged to either grant had proper time and effort documentation. Cause: The City became aware of time documentation requirements during the year but did not fully implement the requirements. Questioned Costs: $261,882 and $36,176 for Community Development Block Grant and Lead-Based Paint Grant, respectively, which represents the portion of salaries and benefits charged to the grants for all employees that did not have adequate documentation. Context: None of the employees, for which personnel activity reports or semi-annual certifications were required, had adequate documentation. Effect: The salaries and benefits charged to the Community Development Block Grant and Lead-Based Paint Grant could be disallowed. Recommendation: The City should require all employees, who fall under OMB Circular A-87 requirements for documenting time charged to federal award programs, to prepare the required documentation. City Response: The City recognizes this federal requirement and will put in place procedures to better document employee time allocations. SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES See Fiscal 2009 Finding No. 2 in Section III above, which is a material weakness. 145 City of Muskegon 933 Terrace Street Muskegon, MI 49440 SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS April 5, 2010 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington, D.C.

SECTION II – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS COMPLIANCE There were no findings reported in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES 2008 Finding No. 1: MATERIAL WEAKNESS—Capital Asset Recordkeeping Procedures Condition: During our detailed testing of capital outlay expenditures, we noted items which qualified as capital assets within the City’s capitalization policy, which were not recorded in the City’s detailed capital asset records. We also noted that some street infrastructure managed by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) was not recorded in the City’s detailed capital asset records. Recommendation: Capital assets for governmental activities should be more carefully identified and included in the government-wide (full accrual) financial statements. Current Status: This recommendation was implemented during the year ended December 31, 2009. No similar finding was reported in the 2009 audit. 2008 Finding No. 2: MATERIAL WEAKNESS—Investment Function Segregation of Duties Condition: During our testing of investment procedures, we noted that the same individual is responsible for oversight of investments, making day-to-day investment decisions, opening and reviewing investment statements, transferring funds between accounts, and participating in recording of investment activity in the City’s accounting records. Recommendation: Responsibilities within the investment function should be further segregated. Current Status: This recommendation was implemented during the year ended December 31, 2009. No similar finding was reported in the 2009 audit. 146 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development April 5, 2010 Page 2 SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS COMPLIANCE U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2008 Finding No. 3: Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately-Owned Housing CFDA: 14.900 Award Number: FR-5100-N-20A Award Year End: December 31, 2008 Specific Requirement: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Condition: During our detailed testing, we noted one employee whose wages and benefits were charged partially to the grant that did not have proper time and effort documentation.

April 14, 2010 Mr. Gary Passon West Michigan Underwater Preserve 15143 Bayberry Ct. Spring Lake, MI 49456 Dear Mr. Passon, I am writing on behalf of the City of Muskegon, in support of the addition of the West Michigan Underwater Preserve into the Michigan Underwater Preserve Council System. The proposed preserve has the potential to save area shipwrecks, provide education on local maritime history and increase tourism among divers and shipwreck enthusiasts. The West Michigan Underwater Preserve, as proposed, would extend from North of Holland, to the lighthouse at Big Point Sable at Ludington State Park. This area contains thirteen known shipwrecks and several underwater features including clay walls. The preserve would create a wonderful historic resource in West Michigan, as well as generate increased tourism. Muskegon, and the coastline North and South of us, include many resources for people to live, work and play. We welcome the dive community to our shores. If the Michigan Underwater Preserve is approved, the City asks to be a partner in the future planning for the preserve. There are issues that need to be addressed in the process, such as medical response, construction along the shoreline and possible coordination with other uses (active shipping, fishing, offshore wind turbines, etc). Again, I offer the support of the City of Muskegon in this beneficial endeavor. Sincerely, Stephen J.
