9 December 18, 2014 To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Commission and Citizens of the City of Battle Creek: State law requires that all local governments, subject to certain size criteria, publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of Battle Creek for the fiscal year ended June 30, This report consists of management s representations concerning the finances of the City of Battle Creek. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, City management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The City s financial statements have been audited by Rehmann Robson, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. 1

10 Profile of the Government The City of Battle Creek, incorporated as a City in 1859 and as a Home Rule City in 1913, is located in southwest Michigan, approximately 115 miles west of Detroit and 160 miles northeast of Chicago. It is the largest city in Calhoun County, encompassing an area of 44 square miles, with a current estimated population of 51,848. The City is well known as the breakfast food capital of the world. The government has operated under the commission-manager form of government since Policymaking and legislative authorities are vested in the City Commission, which is comprised of nine members including the mayor. The governing council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances and resolutions, making public policy decisions, adopting the budget, appointing boards, commissions, and committees, approving contracts, authorizing real estate transactions, awarding bids, selling property, and hiring the government s manager and attorney. Four commissioners are elected at-large for two-year terms and five commissioners are elected from the five wards in the city, also serving two-year terms. The City Commission elects a Mayor and Vice-Mayor from among its members. The City Manager is the chief administrative officer of the City and is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the City Commission. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Commission, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and appointing government s department heads. The City of Battle Creek provides a full range of services including: police and fire protection; the construction and maintenance of highways, streets and other infrastructure; wastewater treatment and disposal; water treatment and distribution; economic development; recreational activities; public transportation services and cultural events. Factors Affecting Financial Condition The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Battle Creek operates. Local economy. The City s economy is diverse with industrial and commercial categories accounting for over 50% of the 2014 taxable valuation. The remainder, primarily residential, provides area residents with convenient and affordable housing to take advantage of the City s industrial, commercial, cultural, educational and recreational opportunities. The City is home to Kellogg Company s world headquarters, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the International Food Protection Training Institute. Battle Creek has many other major corporate community members including Post Cereals, ConAgra Foods, Denso, II Stanley, and Duncan Aviation. The City is revitalizing its downtown to accommodate food science and other innovation industries. Battle Creek s commercial airport and industrial park are diversifying the economy and attracting worldwide business for military, aviation, aerospace and alternative energy. Long term financial planning. The City of Battle Creek believes long-term financial planning has been and will continue to be an important component to ensure the City s fiscal health. Economic development and downtown development continue to be high priorities for the City. Battle Creek Unlimited, a non-profit organization partnering with the City to perform economic development, continues to promote and develop the City s Fort Custer Industrial Park (FCIP) and the downtown in an effort to maintain and enhance the City s tax base. 2

11 Along with efforts to ensure a future growth in tax revenue, the City has developed a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to identify its long-term capital needs and ability to fund the program. Over the next six years, the City has identified over $131.6 million in capital needs. In September, 2013 the City issued $15,370,000 in general obligation limited tax bonds to fund a number of the capital improvements identified in the CIP including $3.5 million for Downtown Quiet Zone, $3 million for Kellogg Arena Improvements and $1.2 million for a public safety records management system. From an operational perspective, the City s revenue profile is diverse and has shown improvement over the prior year. Income tax revenue accounts for 37.6% of general fund revenues for the year ending June 30, 2014 and has shown growth two of the last three years. Property tax revenue makes up another 32.4% of general fund revenues for the year ending June 30, 2014, and the City has a mill (6.7%) margin available under the Headlee roll-back limit for operation. This could generate approximately $700,000 in additional property tax revenue. June 30, 2014 is the second year in a row the City has shown positive operations in the general fund and added to fund balance. The implementation of a high deductible health care plan and negotiation of lower cost pension benefits for new employees has had positive financial results across all city funds and has allowed flexibility for negotiation of pay raises and contributions to employees health savings accounts. The City will continue to pursue ways to keep costs in line with revenues. Awards and Acknowledgements 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 Battle Creek for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, This was the fifteenth consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the City of Battle Creek. We would like to express our appreciation to all members of the departments who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. Credit also must be given to the Mayor and City Commission for their support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Battle Creek s finances.

19 Rehmann Robson INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 675 Robinson Rd. Jackson, MI Ph: Fx: rehmann.com December 18, 2014 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission City of Battle Creek, Michigan Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan (the "City") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Independent Auditors' Responsibility 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 from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Rehmann is an independent member of Nexia International.

20 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 Battle Creek, Michigan, as of June 30, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position and the respective budgetary comparison for the general fund and community development special revenue fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Implementation of GASB Statement No. 67 The City implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, in the current year. While there was no effect on the amounts reported in the financial statements themselves, there were substantial changes to the disclosures found in Note 17 to the financial statements, including the calculation of the City's net pension liability, which will be required to be recorded by the City in its next fiscal year. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management's discussion and analysis and the schedules of funding progress and employer contributions listed in the table of contents 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. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions of the financial statements that collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. 12

21 The introductory section and statistical tables 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. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued, under separate cover, our report dated December 18, 2014 on our consideration of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. 13

23 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 15

24 Management's Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan, we offer readers of the City s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, as noted in the table of contents. Financial Highlights The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $343,031,820 (net position). Of this amount, $34,456,702 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the government s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The government s total net position decreased by $5,461,329. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $23,688,184, an increase of $10,710,919 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 27% of the combined fund balance, or $6,449,504 was available for spending at the City's discretion ('unassigned fund balance"). At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $6,580,891 or 15.3% of total budgeted general fund operating revenues. The City s total bonded debt increased by $11,925,000 during the current fiscal year. The City issued a new bond and also advance refunded a bond. Combined enterprise funds net position increased $333,682. This included an increase of $1,484,868 in net position of the water and wastewater system fund. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City s basic financial statements. The City s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City s finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City s assets, deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities, with the difference between the three reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information shows how the government s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, highways and streets, parks and recreation and community development. The business-type activities of the City include wastewater, water, public transit, solid waste collection and other enterprise operations. 16

25 Management's Discussion and Analysis The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also legally separate entities for which the City is financially accountable. Financial information for these component units are reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. These component units include the Downtown Development Authority, the Lakeview Downtown Development Authority, the Tax Incremental Financing Authority, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and the Local Development Finance Authority. The Building Authority, although also legally separate, functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City, and therefore has been included as an integral part of the primary government. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City maintains 24 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, community development special revenue fund and capital improvements capital projects fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 21 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue funds. Budgetary comparison statements or schedules have been provided herein to demonstrate compliance with those budgets. Proprietary funds. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its wastewater, water, public transit, solid waste collection and other operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its equipment maintenance, self-insurance, information management services and printing/reproduction services. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the wastewater and water system fund, economic development fund and W.K. Kellogg Airport fund, which are considered to be major funds of the City. Conversely, all of the internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. 17

26 Management's Discussion and Analysis Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information. This includes three schedules concerning the City s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other postemployment benefits to its employees. The combined statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor, internal service and fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government s financial position. In the case of the City of Battle Creek, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $343,031,820 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. By far the largest portion of the City s net position (86 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, vehicles, equipment, systems and infrastructure), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Net Position Governmental activities Business-type activities Total Assets Current and other assets $ 52,781,707 $ 38,416,953 $ 23,359,348 $ 22,157,340 $ 76,141,055 $ 60,574,293 Capital assets 234,890, ,290, ,167, ,075, ,057, ,365,690 Total assets 287,671, ,707, ,527, ,232, ,199, ,939,983 Deferred outflows of resources Deferred charge on refunding 255, , , , , ,510 Liabilities Other liabilities 22,777,465 16,269,048 2,188,811 1,884,690 24,966,276 18,153,738 Long-term liabilities 34,845,929 21,094,961 10,755,193 12,691,334 45,601,122 33,786,295 Total liabilities 57,623,394 37,364,009 12,944,004 14,576,024 70,567,398 51,940,033 Deferred inflows of resources Deferred gain on refunding - 25, ,311 Net position Net investment in capital assets 213,803, ,155,508 92,099,833 92,885, ,903, ,040,706 Restricted 2,671,582 3,326, ,671,582 3,326,396 Unrestricted 13,828,647 16,137,588 20,628,055 19,988,459 34,456,702 36,126,047 Total net position $ 230,303,932 $ 235,619,492 $ 112,727,888 $ 112,873,657 $ 343,031,820 $ 348,493,149 18

27 Management's Discussion and Analysis An additional portion of the City s net position (0.8 percent) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position (10.0 percent or $34,456,702) may be used to meet the government s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its governmental and business-type activities; the same held true for the prior fiscal year. The City s net position decreased by $5,461,329 during the current year as compared to a prior year decrease of $3,266,929. The change in the amount of the decrease between the current and prior year was $2,194,400; there are a variety of offsetting increases and decreases in the revenues and expenses and between the governmental and business-type activities, which are discussed in the succeeding sections.

28 Management's Discussion and Analysis Governmental activities. Governmental activities decreased the City s net position by $5,315,560 (as compared to a prior year decrease of $3,943,542). Key elements of this decrease and the change from the prior year include: Total revenue decreased by $2.8 million primarily as a result of decreased federal intergovernmental and other revenue from the neighborhood stabilization program in the Community Development Block Grant fund. This $2.1 million decrease in revenue has a corresponding decrease in expenses. Business type activities. Business type activities decreased the City s net position by $145,769 as compared to an increase of $676,613 the prior year. Key elements of this decrease and the change from the prior year include: Water and wastewater charges for services increased $817,772 over the prior year offset with a corresponding increase in contractual expenses. Revenue increases include a rate increase that was effective 7/1/13. Contractual expenses increased due to two major on-going capital projects in the water and wastewater systems: the Pulver Dryer solids handling project and water meter replacement project. Financial Analysis of the City s Governmental Funds As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the City s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $23,688,184 an increase of $10,710,919 in comparison with the prior year. Nonspendable portion of fund balance has increased from $1,460,910 to $1,501,305. Nonspendable fund balance is not available for new spending because it has been set aside for the following purposes: to generate income for the support and maintenance of the youth center and Kellogg Arena ($879,909); and for inventories and prepaid expenditures ($621,396). A new fund was added to the governmental funds for the year ending June 30, 2014 to account for the capital improvement bonds that were sold in September Proceeds of $15,370,000 plus a premium of $383,666 were partially spent in the current fiscal year, with some projects being longer term. These projects include repairs to the City s linear park, parking lot repairs in many of the City s parks, decorative lighting upgrades along a major corridor, culvert replacements and a diversion channel in addition to the projects discussed in the letter of transmittal. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance (which is only reported in the general fund) was $6,580,891, while total fund balance was $8,149,022. In accordance with the City s adopted fund balance policy, the minimum unassigned fund balance in the general fund of no less than 8 percent of current year budgeted operating revenue has been met. The percent as of June 30, 2014 is 15.3%. The fund balance of the City s general fund increased by $479,877 during the current fiscal year. This was favorable as compared to the final budgeted decrease in fund balance of $180,532. The community development fund has a fund balance of $46 which increased from the previous year of no fund balance. Original budget estimates anticipated a greater level of activity than actually occurred; however, community development grant funds may be carried over to subsequent years. Proprietary funds. The City s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. 20

29 Management's Discussion and Analysis Unrestricted net position of the water and wastewater system fund at the end of the year amounted to $7,678,908. The fund had an increase in total net position for the year of $1,484,868. Factors concerning the finances of this fund have already been addressed in the discussion of the City s business type activities. The economic development fund had total net position at the end of the year of $9,860,823, all of which was unrestricted. For the year, the fund had a decrease in net position of $38,829. The W.K. Kellogg Airport fund had total net position of $11,464,500 of which $552,018 was unrestricted; the fund had a decrease in net position of $589,506 for the year. The decrease in net position is due to depreciation. The substantial decrease in W.K. Kellogg Airport intergovernmental subsidies from the prior year is the completion in the prior year of a federal noise mitigation grant used to purchase properties within an identified area around the airport. The Battle Creek Transit System had a total net position of $2,942,362 of which $726,226 was unrestricted; the fund had a decrease in net position of $504,155 for the year primarily as a result of depreciation expense. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Mid-year adjustments were made to the general fund budget to account for minor changes in transfers out and departmental budgeted revenues. Budgeted expenses also increased for any prior year encumbrances carried forward, as they are a use of the prior year fund balance and were reflected in the assigned fund balance at 6/30/13. Net change in fund balance for the general fund was an increase of $479,877 compared to a budgeted decrease of $180,532. This is primarily due to departmental savings from changes in health insurance to a high deductible plan. Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets. The City s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2014, amounted to $337,057,980 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, improvements, buildings, systems, vehicles and equipment, park facilities, roads, highways, and bridges. Net capital assets for governmental activities increased by 0.3%, and for business-type activities decreased by 2.8%. Overall, total net capital assets for the City decreased by 1%.

The completion of the Downtown Transformation project (a multi-year endeavor) resulted in total additions to capital assets of $8,158,579. Additional information on the City s capital assets can be found in note 8 to the financial statements. 21

30 Management's Discussion and Analysis Long term debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $38,185,000. Of this amount, $28,790,000 is comprised of debt backed by the full faith and credit of the government. The remainder of the City s bonded debt represents bonds secured solely by specified revenue sources. General Obligation and Revenue Bonds Governmental activities Business-type activities Total General obligation bonds $ 28,790,000 $ 15,130,000 $ - $ - $ 28,790,000 $ 15,130,000 Revenue bonds - - 9,395,000 11,130,000 9,395,000 11,130,000 Total $ 28,790,000 $ 15,130,000 $ 9,395,000 $ 11,130,000 $ 38,185,000 $ 26,260,000 The City s total bonded debt increased by $11,925,000 (45.4 percent) during the current fiscal year. During the year the City issued a new bond for capital improvements in the amount of $15,370,000 and also advance refunded a bond. The following chart depicts the City s credit rating for the various outstanding debt and the different rating agencies: Moody's S&P Fitch General obligation limited tax bonds Aa3 AA- AA Water and wastewater revenue bonds Aa3 A AA- State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 10 percent of its total state equalized valuation. The current debt limitation for the City is $160,147,070 which is significantly in excess of the City s outstanding general obligation debt. Additional information on the City s long term debt can be found in note 11 to the financial statements. Economic Factors City Administration, accompanied by a representative from Battle Creek Unlimited, visited bond rating agencies in July 2013 in anticipation of the sale of the $15 million capital improvement bond issue. The City of Detroit had just declared bankruptcy, and there was much speculation within the municipal bond industry. The City of Battle Creek had all three bond ratings affirmed even in light of what was called the Michigan penalty due to management s demonstrated ability to maintain adequate and stable general fund reserves despite revenue pressures and economic and real estate pressures in the area. Next Year s Budgets and Rates Developed the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 budget with no increase in property taxes. Increased budgeted income tax revenue $100,000 for compliance. Included a 1% increase in general fund expenditures. Included 2-2.5% wage raises in many collective bargaining agreements. Continued the progress of health insurance plan savings due to transition to high deductible plans with City contributions to health savings accounts.

Capital assets 385,428,022 Accumulated depreciation (153,490,857) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain equipment usage to individual governmental funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position. Net position of governmental internal service funds 10,000,305 Portion of internal service funds net operating income attributed to business-type funds (600,474) Because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing, some assets will not be available to pay for current expenditures. Those assets (i.e., receivables) are offset by deferred outflows of resources in the governmental funds and, therefore, not included in fund balance. Unavailable special assessments 155,530 Loans receivable related to the sale of capital assets and other loans 4,638,242 Gains and losses on refunding are not reported in the governmental funds, whereas they are capitalized and amortized for net position.

70 Notes to Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity The accompanying financial statements present the activities of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan (the City or government ) and its six component units, legally separate organizations for which the City is financially accountable. The activities of the Building Authority are so intertwined with the City that it is, in substance, the same as the City and, therefore, is blended and reported as if it were part of the City. The other five component units are not so intertwined and, therefore, are discretely presented in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City. The component units each have a June 30 year-end. Component Unit Building Authority (BA); finances and constructs the City s public buildings Downtown Development Authority (DDA); corrects and prevents deterioration in the downtown district, encourages historical preservation and promotes economic growth within the district Lakeview Downtown Development Authority (LDDA); promotes development of the Lakeview district Tax Increment Financing Authority (TIFA); administers the Fort Custer Industrial Park development district Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA); administers brownfield redevelopment projects Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA); encourages technological development through the City s SmartZone Included in the Reporting Entity Because City Commission appoints and may remove BA board City Commission appoints and may remove DDA board and approves DDA budget City Commission appoints and may remove LDDA board and approves LDDA budget City Commission appoints and may remove TIFA board and approves TIFA budget City Commission appoints and may remove BRA board and approves BRA budget City Commission appoints and may remove LFDA board and approves LFDA budget Separate Financial Statements Available Not prepared Finance Department in City Hall Finance Department in City Hall Finance Department in City Hall Finance Department in City Hall Finance Department in City Hall 62

71 Notes to Financial Statements Basis of Presentation Government-wide Financial Statements. The statements of net position and activities display information about the primary government (the "City") and its component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the City s governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the different business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expense allocations that have been made in the funds have been reversed for the statement of activities. Program revenues include (a) fees, fines and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements. The fund financial statements provide information about the City s funds, including its fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category governmental, proprietary and fiduciary are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. The City reports the following major governmental funds: General fund. This is the government s primary operating fund. It is used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund. Community development special revenue fund. This fund accounts for grants under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The Act provides for a series of grants over a period of years to be used for various community development activities. Capital improvements fund. This fund accounts for capital expenditures related to various construction projects in the area. The City has the following major enterprise funds: Water and wastewater system enterprise fund. This fund accounts for the activities of the City's water distribution, water treatment, sewage disposal and sewage treatment systems. Economic development enterprise fund. development revolving loan program. This fund accounts for the activities of the City's economic W.K. Kellogg Airport. This fund accounts for the activities of the City's airport. Battle Creek Transit System. This fund accounts for the activities of the City's transit system. 63

72 Notes to Financial Statements Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: Special revenue funds. These funds are used to account and report proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects. Debt service funds. These funds account for all financial resources restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest. Capital projects funds. These funds account for all financial resources restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Permanent funds. These funds account for resources restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the government's purposes. Enterprise funds. These funds account for those operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business or where the City has decided that the determination of revenues earned, costs incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability. Internal service funds. These funds account for operations that provide services to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis. This includes machinery, equipment and building space management services; liability, auto, and workers compensation self-insurance; information technology services; and printing, mailing and reproduction services. Pension and other employee benefits trust funds. These funds account for the activities of the Police and Fire Retirement System, Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association, and Fire Retiree Health Care Trust, which accumulate resources for retirement and other employee benefit payments to qualified employees. Agency funds. These funds account for assets held for other governments in an agency capacity, including property tax collections and fire insurance escrow. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements. The government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except for agency funds, which do not have a measurement focus. Revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales/services, administration and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. 64

73 Notes to Financial Statements Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. Property taxes are recognized as revenue 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. Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end, except for income tax revenue for which a 15-day collection period is used. Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures generally are recorded when a related fund liability is incurred, except for debt service expenditures, compensated absences, and claims and judgments, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases, if any, are reported as other financing sources. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City funds certain programs by a combination of specific costreimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net position available to finance the program. It is the City s policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues, subject to satisfying any grant program matching provisions. Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Equity Deposits and Investments The City maintains a cash and investment pool for all City monies. Each fund s portion of the cash and investment pool is displayed on the statement of net position/balance sheet as pooled cash and investments. The cash resources of the pension and other employee benefits trust funds are invested separately. The City s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. State statutes authorize the government to deposit in the accounts of federally insured banks, credit unions, and savings and loan associations, and to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, certain commercial paper, repurchase agreements, bankers acceptances, and mutual funds composed of otherwise legal investments. The State s Pension Investment Act, as amended, authorizes the pension trust fund to invest in common stocks, real estate, and various other investment instruments, subject to certain limitations. Investments are stated at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of future principal and interest payments, and are discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar instruments. Investments that do not have established market values are reported at estimated fair value. Cash deposits are reported at carrying amounts, which reasonably approximates fair value. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on pension trust fund investments due to changes in fair value are recognized each year. 65

74 Notes to Financial Statements Receivables and Payables All trade and delinquent property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles, as applicable. Certain loans receivable in governmental funds consist of rehabilitation and redevelopment loans that are generally not expected or scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year. Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either interfund receivables/payables (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or advances to/from other funds (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as due to/from other funds. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances. Inventories, Prepaid Items and Other Assets All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when 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 using the consumption method. 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. The government defines capital assets 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 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, if any, is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. 66

75 Notes to Financial Statements Capital assets of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Deferred Outflows of Resources Compensated Absences Long-term Obligations Land improvements 5-50 Buildings and building improvements 50 Public domain infrastructure 50 Water and wastewater system infrastructure Vehicles 7-10 Office equipment 6-10 Machinery and equipment 3-10 In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources until then. The City only has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category, which is the deferred charge on refunding reported in the government-wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. It is the government s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and compensatory time benefits, subject to certain limitations. Certain bargaining unit employees (i.e., firefighters) are also permitted to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All vacation and compensatory time pay and 50 percent of sick leave are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements. Liability accruals for vacation and compensatory time in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported as current liabilities; the liability for sick leave in the governmental activities is allocated between current and long-term. 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 position. Bond premiums and discounts 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. 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 actual debt proceeds, are reported as debt service expenditures. 67

76 Notes to Financial Statements Deferred Inflows for Resources In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues, which arises only under the modified accrual basis of accounting, from two sources: property taxes and loans receivable. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. Fund Balances Governmental funds report nonspendable fund balance for amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually require to be maintained intact. Restricted fund balance is reported when externally imposed constraints are placed on the use of the resources by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government s highest level of decision-making authority, the Board of Commissioners. The City Commission is the highest level of decision-making authority for the government that can, authorize a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another resolution) to remove or revise the limitation. Assigned fund balance is reported for amounts that are constrained by the government s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Board of Commissioners has by resolution authorized City management to assign fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification used for a general fund. When the government incurs expenditures for purposes for which various fund balance classifications can be used, it is the government s policy to use restricted fund balance first, then committed, assigned and finally unassigned fund balance. 2. BUDGETARY INFORMATION Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general and special revenue funds. Annual appropriations lapse at year-end, except for those approved by the City Commission for carry forward. The legal level of budgetary control is the fund level. The City Commission requires the City Manager to submit an estimate of revenues and anticipated expenditures for the succeeding fiscal year in June. The City Manager is then authorized to assign and transfer budget amounts within each fund to the extent that the net total fund appropriation (which the City defines as gross authorized expenditures less related revenues that are specifically designated to fund those activities) is not exceeded. City Commission approval is required for any budgetary changes that result in an increase to net appropriations. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control during the year. Supplemental appropriations were approved by the City Commission in the form of budget amendment resolutions or as part of special authorizing motions for grants, bonds or notes, the total of which was not significant in relation to the original budget appropriation valuations. 68

The approved budgets of the City were adopted on a fund level basis, although budget and actual information in the fund financial statements have been presented at a level of detail greater than the level of legal budgetary control. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the City did not incur expenditures in excess of the amounts appropriated at the legal level of budgetary control. 4.

78 Notes to Financial Statements Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits. For deposits, custodial credit risk is the risk, that in the event of a bank failure, the City s deposits may not be returned to the government. As of June 30, 2014, $15,966,246 of the City s total bank balance of $16,375,893 (total book balance was $15,297,666) was exposed to custodial credit risk as it was uninsured and uncollateralized. The City s investment policy does not specifically address this risk, although the City believes that due to the dollar amounts of cash deposits and the limits of FDIC insurance, it is impractical to insure all bank deposits. As a result, the City evaluates each financial institution with which it deposits City funds and assesses the level of risk of each institution; only those institutions with an acceptable estimated risk level are used as depositories. Custodial Credit Risk Investments. Following is a summary of the City s investments as of June 30, 2014: U.S. agencies $ 54,151,809 Municipal bonds 1,025,937 Money market 4,454,314 Short-term investments 5,226,232 Total investments $ 64,858,292 For investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City s investment policy requires that investment securities be held in third-party safekeeping by a designated institution and that the safekeeping agent follow the procedure of delivery vs. payment. As of June 30, 2014, none of the City s investments, excluding the money market accounts which are not subject to custodial credit risk, were exposed to risk since the securities are held in the City s name by the counterparty. Credit Risk. As of June 30, 2014, all of the City s investments in securities of U.S. agencies were rated AA+ by Standard & Poor s.

DEPOSITS, INVESTMENTS AND SECURITIES LENDING - PENSION AND OPEB TRUST FUNDS The deposits and investments of the Police and Fire Retirement System Trust Fund (the System ) and of the other employee benefits trust funds are maintained separately from the City s pooled cash and investments, and are subject to separate investment policies and state statutes. Accordingly, the required disclosures for these deposits and investments are presented separately. Deposits - The System and the other employee benefits trust funds do not maintain any checking or other demand/time deposit accounts. Amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents in the statement of plan net position are composed entirely of short-term investments in money market accounts. Investments - The Michigan Public Employees Retirement Systems Investment Act, Public Act 314 of 1965, as amended, authorizes the System to invest in stocks, government and corporate securities, mortgages, real estate, and various other investment instruments, subject to certain limitations. The Retirement Board has the responsibility and authority to oversee the investment portfolio. Various professional investment managers are contracted to assist in managing the System s assets. All investment decisions are subject to Michigan law and the investment policy established by the Retirement Board. Investments at fair value, as determined by quoted market price U.S. treasuries $ 9,170,824 U.S. agencies 16,504,694 Domestic corporate securities 33,871,406 Domestic equities: Not on securities loan 21,673,674 On securities loan 1,299,144 American depository receipts 13,314,182 International equities 32,145,125 Real estate investment trusts 310,303 Total investments $ 128,289,352 71

Credit Risk. The System s investment policy provides that its investments in fixed income securities be limited to those rated BBB or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. As of June 30, 2014, the System s investments in securities of U.S. agencies were not rated by Standard & Poor s. The System s investments in corporate securities were rated by Standard & Poor s as follows: Rating AAA $ 4,291,058 AA 3,738,724 A 7,179,556 BBB 7,948,547 Not rated 10,713,521 Totals $ 33,871,406 Custodial Credit Risk. For investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the System will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The System s investment policy requires that investment securities be held in trust by a third-party institution in the System s name. As such, although uninsured and unregistered, the System s investments are not exposed to custodial credit risk since the securities are held by the counterparty s trust department in the System s name. Investments in money market and mutual funds are not subject to custodial credit risk. Concentration of Credit Risk. The System s investments are not exposed to concentration of credit risk relative to a single issuer (i.e. company or government agency) inasmuch as no holdings equal or exceed 5% or more of total investments. The System s investment policy requires that the securities of any one company or government agency should not exceed 10% of the total fund and no more than 25% of the total fund should be invested in any one industry. Interest Rate Risk. As of June 30, 2014, maturities of the System s debt securities were as follows: Investment Maturities (fair value by years) Less More Fair Value Than Than 10 U.S. treasuries $ 9,170,825 $ - $ 2,686,026 $ 3,638,727 $ 2,846,072 U.S. agencies 16,504, ,507 3,200,957 12,553,471 Domestic corporate securities 33,871, ,389 8,034,237 9,097,752 16,167,028 $ 59,546,924 $ 573,147 $ 11,469,770 $ 15,937,436 $ 31,566,571 None of the above securities are callable. 72

81 Notes to Financial Statements The System s investment policy provides that the maximum maturity for any single fixed income security is ten years and that the weighted average portfolio maturity may not exceed eight years. Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that significant fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The System has various investment holdings in international equities (excluding American depository receipts) totaling $32,145,125; these holdings are primarily in common and preferred stocks of Canadian (dollars) and European (euros) companies. The System does not have any policies regarding foreign currency risk. Securities Lending. A contract approved by the System s Board permits the System to lend its securities to broker-dealers and banks (borrowers) for collateral that will be returned for the same securities in the future. The System s custodial bank manages the securities lending program and receives cash as collateral. The collateral securities cannot be pledged or sold by the System unless the borrower defaults. Collateral cash is initially pledged at 100 percent of the fair value of the securities lent, and may not fall below 100 percent during the term of the loan. There are no restrictions on the amount of securities that can be loaned. Securities on loan at year-end are classified in the preceding schedule of investments according to the category for the collateral received on the securities lent. At year-end, the System has no credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts the System owes the borrowers exceed the amounts the borrowers owe the System. The contract with the System s custodian requires it to indemnify the System if the borrowers fail to return the securities (and if the collateral is inadequate to replace the securities lent) or fail to pay the System for income distributions by the securities issuers while the securities are on loan. Also at year-end, through a cash collateral investing program provided by the custodial bank, the System has an obligation to repay $131,239 of cash collateral that was invested in a Sigma Finance Medium Term Note, which is impaired. Any current or future recoveries from Sigma Finance are not expected. 7. RECEIVABLES Receivables in the governmental activities are 48.0 percent loans, 43.9 percent accounts receivable, 2.0 percent special assessments, 3.5 percent grants and 2.6 percent interest; business-type activities receivables are 55.6 percent due from customers, 19.1 percent grants, 1.6 percent special assessments, 22.6 percent loans, and 1.1 percent interest.

As of June 30, 2014, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority had drawn a total of $2,560,708 on the authorized amount (no amount was drawn during the current year).

As of June 30, 2014, a total of $2,303,513 (no amount was drawn during the current year) had been drawn on the authorized amount. Since repayment between the two component units is based on the future collection of incremental tax revenues, the loans are reported as a long-term liability by the Brownfield and a noncurrent receivable by the TIFA. The repayment obligations include interest at 5% per annum. Loans outstanding at year-end are as follows: Year of Maturity Interest Rates Amount Discretely presented component units Core communities loan % $ 242,056 Brownfield redevelopment loans n/a 5.00% 3,806,800 Total component units $ 4,048,856 Annual debt service requirements to maturity for the MEDC loans are as follows: Component Units Year Ended June 30, Principal Interest 2015 $ 92,521 $ 12, ,198 6, ,337 1,158 $ 242,056 $ 20,415 82

92 Notes to Financial Statements For the governmental activities, compensated absences, net pension obligations and net other postemployment benefits obligations are generally liquidated by the general fund. 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION - ENTERPRISE FUNDS The government issued revenue bonds to finance certain improvements to its water and wastewater system. Because the water and wastewater fund, an individual fund that accounts entirely for the government s water and wastewater activities, is a segment and is reported as a major fund in the fund financial statements, segment disclosures herein are not required. 13. ENDOWMENTS Youth Center Endowment Permanent Trust Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the net appreciation on investments of donor-restricted endowments was $5,338. Under the terms of the endowment, and consistent with State statutes, the City is authorized based on a total-return policy to spend the net appreciation for the benefit of the youth center. At year-end, accumulated available net appreciation of $5,338 is reported in restricted; the nonexpendable endowment balance is $256,376. Kellogg Arena Endowment Permanent Trust Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the net appreciation on investments of donor-restricted endowments was $15,692. Under the terms of the endowment, and consistent with State statutes, the City is authorized based on a total-return policy to spend the net appreciation for the benefit of the Kellogg Arena. At year-end, accumulated available net appreciation of $64,662 is reported in restricted; the nonexpendable endowment balance is $623, RISK MANAGEMENT The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to property loss, torts, errors and omissions, and employee injuries, as well as medical, dental and death benefits provided to employees. The City has purchased commercial insurance for employee dental and life coverages, certain property and inland marine exposures, airport liability, liquor liability, and emergency medical treatment. The City s workers compensation exposure is handled on a self-funded basis using a third-party administrator, with excess insurance for claims greater than a self-insured retention (SIR) of $650,000 per occurrence. As of July 1, 1986, the City s general and related liability insurance was allowed to expire; any occurrences prior to that date may be covered by liability policies previously in effect. The City now self-administers general liability and related exposures, utilizing excess liability insurance for losses greater than a SIR of $1 million per occurrence and $2.5 million in the aggregate, annually. The limits of the excess liability insurance have been as follows: $15 million per occurrence effective September 1, 1999; $5 million per occurrence effective October 1, 2002; then $9 million per occurrence effective November 14, Settled claims related to commercial insurance have not exceeded the amount of insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. Effective October 1, 2003, the City converted from a premium-based policy for employee medical coverage to a self-funded plan, with specific stop-loss insurance that limits claim expense to $50,000 per contract (i.e., employee and dependents), annually. Aggregate stop-loss insurance limits annual losses to 120 percent of expected claims. 84

93 Notes to Financial Statements The City estimates its self-insured liability for workers compensation, medical and comprehensive general liability claims that have been incurred through the end of the fiscal year, including both those claims that have been reported as well as those that have not yet been reported. These estimates are prepared by the City s Risk Management Department and recorded in the self-insurance internal service fund. Changes in the estimated liability for the fiscal years ended June 30 were as follows: Estimated liability, beginning of year $ 3,365,008 $ 3,834,142 Estimated claims incurred, including changes in estimates 7,952,821 10,263,569 Claim payments (7,283,236) (10,732,703) Estimated liability, end of year $ 4,034,593 $ 3,365, PROPERTY TAXES The government s property taxes are levied each July 1 on the taxable valuation of property located in the City as of the preceding December 31, the lien date. Property taxes are payable without penalty and interest through August 31; as of March 1 of the succeeding year, unpaid real property taxes are sold to and collected by Calhoun County. Assessed values, as established annually by the government and subject to acceptance by the County, are equalized by the State at an estimated 50% of current market value. The taxable value of real and personal property in the City for the 2013 levy, including industrial facilities and neighborhood enterprise zone properties, but net of renaissance zones, was $1,491,889,619. The government s general operating tax rate for fiscal was mills with an additional mills for police and fire pension. Property taxes for the DDA, LDDA, TIFA and BRA are derived from tax increment financing agreements with the various applicable taxing authorities. Under these arrangements, the tax increment finance entities receive the property taxes levied on the increment of current taxable values over the base year values on those properties located within the established tax increment financing district. Property taxes are recognized in the fiscal year in which they are levied. 16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and potential adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. The government is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, it is the opinion of the government s counsel that resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the government. 85

94 Notes to Financial Statements The City is currently involved in various tax appeals pending before the Michigan Tax Tribunal. The appeals cover various commercial and industrial properties for Due to the large number of appeals currently before the Tribunal, the time frame for resolution of these matters is unknown at this time. The City has an estimated maximum exposure of approximately $3.01 million in taxable value. The City is vigorously defending all litigation. 17. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS Police and Fire Retirement System The Police and Fire Retirement System (the System ) is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement, health, disability and death benefits to all full-time police and fire personnel of the City, subject to the limitations on health care benefits described in Note 17. The System is administered by the Retirement Board of the Police and Fire Retirement System. The System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to the System at 10 North Division Street, Battle Creek, MI The financial statements of the System are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. System member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. The City s contributions are recognized when due and a formal commitment to provide the contributions has been made. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plans. System investments are reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on national or international exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair values as determined by the custodian under the direction of the Retirement Board, with the assistance of a valuation service. Administrative costs are financed through investment earnings. System members are required to contribute between 7.5% to 10% of their annual covered wages to the System for pension benefits, depending on the bargaining unit. The City is required to contribute such additional amounts as necessary, based on actuarial determinations, to provide assets sufficient to pay for member benefits. The City s pension contribution to the System for the year ended June 30, 2014 amounted to 30.12% of annual covered payroll. Plan Membership. At June 30, 2014, plan membership consisted of the following: Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 248 Terminated employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 9 Vested and non-vested active participants 177 Total membership 434 System benefit provisions were established and may be amended under the authority of City Ordinances. Contribution requirements were established and may be amended subject to collective bargaining agreements and approval by the System Retirement Board and City Commission. 86

95 Notes to Financial Statements The annual required contribution (ARC) for the year ended June 30, 2014 for pension was $4,316,203. The ARC was made by the City. There was no net pension obligation at the beginning or the end of the fiscal year. Three-Year Trend Information Annual Years Ended Pension Percentage Net Pension June 30, Cost (APC) Contributed Obligation 2012 $ 3,659, % $ ,105, % ,316, % - The funded status of the pension portion of the System as of June 30, 2013, the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, was as follows: Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 149,004,999 Actuarial value of assets 117,879,023 Unfunded AAL (UAAL) $ 31,125,976 Funded ratio 79.1% Covered payroll $ 11,700,630 UAAL as % of covered payroll 266.0% 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 and mortality. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, present multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial values of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. For purposes of the schedule of funding progress, the actuarial accrued liability value as shown is determined using the entry age actuarial cost method. The accompanying schedule of employer contributions presents trend information about the amounts contributed to the System by the employer in comparison to the ARC (annual required contribution), an amount that is actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 27. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost for each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan 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 sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. 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. 87

96 Notes to Financial Statements Additional information as of the latest actuarial valuation includes: Valuation date June 30, 2013 Actuarial cost method Entry-age Amortization method Level percent-of-payroll Remaining amortization period 30 year open Asset valuation method 5-year smoothed market w/ 20% corridor Actuarial assumptions: Investment rate of return 7.0% Projected salary increases 4.5% to 12.9% Wage inflation 4.5% Cost-of-living adjustments None Inflation rate 3.0% to 4.0% GASB Statement 27 required supplementary information is presented after the notes to the financial statements section of this report. Net pension liability (under GASB Statement 67) The components of the net pension liability of the City at June 30, 2014, are as follows: Total pension liability $ 153,438,134 Plan fiduciary net position (133,897,145) City's net pension liability $ 19,540,989 Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of the total pension liability 87.26% Actuarial assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 (and rollforward to June 30, 2014, the measurement date), using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return 4.5 percent 4.5 to 12.9 percent, including inflation 7.0 percent, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation Mortality rates were based on the RP 2000 Male Combined Healthy Table projected to 2010 using the projection scale AA. 88

97 Notes to Financial Statements The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan s target asset allocation as of June 30, 2014 (see the discussion of the System's investment allocation policy) are summarized in the following table: Asset Class Long-term Expected Real Rate of Return U.S. treasuries 0.75% U.S. agencies 0.75% Domestic corporate securities 5.25% Domestic equities 5.60% American depository receipts 0.75% International equities 5.25% Real estate investment trusts 0.75% Discount rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.0 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. The following presents the net pension liability of the City, calculated using the discount rate of 7.0 percent, as well as what the City s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.0 percent) or 1-percentage point higher (8.0 percent) than the current rate: 1% Current 1% Decrease Discount Increase (6.0%) (7.0%) (8.0%) City's net pension liability $ 37,479,769 $ 19,540,989 $ 4,468,898 89

98 Notes to Financial Statements Municipal Employees Retirement System of Michigan The City also participates in the Municipal Employees Retirement System of Michigan (MERS), an agent multiple-employer plan administered by the Retirement Board of MERS. The Plan provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments, and death benefits to Plan members and beneficiaries. The MERS Retirement Board establishes and amends the benefit provisions of the participants in MERS. The Municipal Employees Retirement System of Michigan issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for MERS. That report may be obtained by writing to the Municipal Employees Retirement System of Michigan, 447 N. Canal Road, Lansing, Michigan 48917, by calling (800) , or it can be viewed on-line at The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate; the current rate is 23.8% of annual covered payroll. City employees are required to contribute 0.0% to 7.20% of their annual covered payroll, depending on the applicable bargaining unit. The contribution requirements of the City are established and may be amended by the Retirement Board of MERS. The contribution requirements of plan members are established and may be amended by the City, subject to collective bargaining agreements and depending on the MERS contribution program adopted by the City. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the City s annual pension cost of $3,767,996 for MERS was equal to the City s required and actual contributions. The required contribution was determined as part of the December 31, 2013 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included: (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 8.0%; (b) projected salary increase of 4.5% per year compounded annually, attributable to inflation; and (c) additional projected salary increases of 0.0% to 17.50% per year, depending on age, attributable to seniority/merit. The actuarial value of MERS assets was determined on the basis of a valuation method that assumes the fund earns the expected rate of return, and includes an adjustment to reflect fair value. The City s unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2013, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, was 25 years.

99 Notes to Financial Statements The funded status of the pension portion of the Plan as of December 31, 2013, the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, was as follows: Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 128,362,120 Actuarial value of assets 87,954,127 Unfunded AAL (UAAL) $ 40,407,993 Funded ratio 68.5% Covered payroll $ 16,371,734 UAAL as % of covered payroll 246.8% As previously mentioned, 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 and mortality. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress for the MERS Plan, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, present multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial values of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. For purposes of the schedule of funding progress, the actuarial accrued liability value as shown is determined using the entry age actuarial cost method. 18. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The City provides health care benefits under a single-employer plan to certain full-time employees upon retirement, in accordance with labor agreements and/or the City Administrative Code, or in the case of police and fire personnel according to City Commission resolution. The City includes pre-medicare retirees and their dependents in its insured health care plan, with contributions required in varying amounts. The City purchases Medicare supplemental insurance for retirees eligible for Medicare. For police and fire employees, the obligation for police and fire personnel retiree health care, prior to fiscal 2007, was entirely advance-funded through the Police and Fire Retirement System (the System ). Beginning in fiscal 2007, following negotiations and arbitration, the System became responsible for only the first $512,795 of health care costs of the then current retirees. Police and fire personnel retiring on or after July 1, 2007 receive their health care benefits through either the Retirement Health Funding Vehicle (RHFV) or Fire Retiree Health Care trust fund, which are employee contributory plans (that are presented as other employee benefit trust funds in separately issued financial statements; these two trust funds constitute the financial statements for the City s postemployment benefits plan). For all other eligible City employees, the City contributes a maximum of $200 per month towards the purchase of retiree health care. The Systems' financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. System contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due and the employer has made a formal commitment to provide the contribution. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. 91

100 Notes to Financial Statements Plan investments are reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on national or international exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Investments that do not have established market values are reported at estimated fair values as determined by the custodian under the direction of the Retirement Board with the assistance of a valuation service. Administrative costs are financed through investment earnings. The RHFV portion of the plan utilizes a retirement health funding vehicle trust established with the Municipal Employees Retirement System of Michigan to invest plan assets. Plan membership consisted of 311 retirees currently receiving benefits and 490 active members (for a total of 801) as of June 30, 2013, the date of the latest actuarial valuation. The City has no obligation to make contributions in advance of when the insurance premiums or benefits are due for payment; in other words, the plan may be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Administrative costs of the plan are paid for by the City s general fund. Certain plan participants are required to contribute to the plan. For the year ended June 30, 2014, $1,754,700 was contributed towards the cost of benefits and funding the plan. See below for summary: Fund Employee Employer Total Retirement health funding vehicle $ - $ 401,377 $ 401,377 Fire retiree health care 223, , ,720 Police and fire pension fund - 512, ,795 Internal service - self-insurance fund - 366, ,808 $ 223,720 $ 1,530,980 $ 1,754,700 Funding Progress. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the City estimated the cost of providing retiree healthcare benefits through an actuarial valuation as of June 30, Such valuation computes the annual required contribution (ARC) that represents a level of funding, that if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The current combined ARC is 8.73% of annual covered payroll. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. For fiscal year 2014, the components of the City s annual OPEB (other postemployment benefit) cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan (including pay-as-you-go amounts), and changes in the City s net OPEB obligation to the plan are as follows: Annual required contribution $ 2,386,371 Interest on net OPEB obligation 429,534 Adjustment to annual required contribution (338,947) Annual OPEB cost 2,476,958 Contributions made (1,754,700) Increase in net OPEB obligation 722,258 Net OPEB obligation, beginning of year 8,590,680 Net OPEB obligation, end of year $ 9,312,938 92

101 Notes to Financial Statements The City s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2014 and the two preceding years were as follows: Annual Percentage Net Year OPEB of OPEB Cost OPEB Ended Cost Contributed Obligation 6/30/2012 $ 3,663, % $ 6,972,588 6/30/2013 3,310, % 8,590,680 6/30/2014 2,476, % 9,312,938 The funded status of the plan as of June 30, 2013, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, was as follows: Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 41,620,241 Actuarial value of assets 4,078,070 Unfunded AAL (UAAL) $ 37,542,171 Funded ratio 9.8% Covered payroll $ 28,591,928 UAAL as % of covered payroll 131.3% 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. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. 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. 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 sharing benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. 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. 93

248 Rehmann Robson 675 Robinson Rd. Jackson, MI Ph: Fx: rehmann.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission City of Battle Creek, Michigan December 18, 2014 We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan (the City ) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 18, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City s internal control. 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. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Rehmann is an independent member of Nexia International. CPAs & Consultants Wealth Advisors Corporate Investigators 6

249 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. 7

250 Rehmann Robson 675 Robinson Rd. Jackson, MI Ph: Fx: rehmann.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission City of Battle Creek, Michigan December 18, 2014 Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited the compliance of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan (the City ) with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, The City s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management's Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs. Independent Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. 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 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 on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, Rehmann is an independent member of Nexia International.

251 Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program 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 s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance 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. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe that a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. 9

255 Rehmann Robson 675 Robinson Rd. Jackson, MI Ph: Fx: rehmann.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS COMMUNICATION WITH THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE December 18, 2014 To the City Commission of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan (the City ) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and have issued our report thereon dated December 18, Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit. Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit As communicated in our engagement letter dated July 2, 2014, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities. Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you. We have provided our findings regarding internal control over financial reporting and compliance noted during our audit in a separate letter to you dated December 18, In addition, we noted certain other matters which are included in Attachment A to this letter. Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated to you in our engagement letter and in our meeting about planning matters on October 8, Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm has complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

256 Page 2 Qualitative Aspects of the City s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the City included in Note 1 to the financial statements. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the City implemented Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans. This standard had no impact on beginning equity of the City, but provided for expanded disclosures on the City's pension plans in the footnotes and required supplemental information. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. Significant Accounting Estimates Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management s current judgments. The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements were: Management s estimate of the useful lives of depreciable capital assets is based on the length of time it is believed that those assets will provide some economic benefit in the future. Management s estimate of the original cost and accumulated depreciation of infrastructure capital assets. Management s estimate of the accrued compensated absences is based on current hourly rates and policies regarding payment of sick and vacation banks. Management s estimate of the collectability of receivables (excluding those receivables for which the City has the right to levy a lien against the applicable property owner). Management s estimate of the liability for uninsured risks of loss, including incurred but not reported claims, which are accounted for in the City s self-insurance internal service fund. We relied upon the work of the City s third-party administrator and internal risk manager for the estimated liabilities on reported claims and the work of the City s internal risk manager for the calculation of the estimated liabilities for incurred but not reported claims based on GASB Statement No. 10, as amended by GASB Statement No. 30 and Interpretation No. 4. The assumptions used in the actuarial valuations of the pension and other postemployment benefits plans are based on historical trends and industry standards.

257 We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates and determined that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units. Significant Difficulties Encountered During the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit. Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. We did not identify any misstatements during our audit. Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City s financial statements or the auditors report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit. Representations Requested from Management We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in Attachment C to this letter. Management s Consultations with Other Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters. Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City s auditors. Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements Our responsibility for the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, as described by professional standards, is to evaluate the presentation of the supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole and to report on whether the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing Page 3

258 the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. Upcoming Changes in Accounting Standards Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are continually changing in order to promote the usability and enhance the applicability of information included in external financial reporting. While it would not be practical to include an in-depth discussion of every upcoming change in professional standards, Attachment B to this letter contains a brief overview of recent pronouncements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and their related effective dates. Management is responsible for reviewing these standards, determining their applicability, and implementing them in future accounting periods. This information is intended solely for the use of the governing body and management of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. Very truly yours, Page 4

259 Attachment A - Comments and Recommendations For the June 30, 2014 Audit During our audit, we became aware of certain other matters that are opportunities for strengthening internal control and/or improving operating efficiency. This memorandum summarizes our comments and recommendations regarding those matters. Our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting is described in our report, dated December 18, 2014, issued in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. This memorandum does not affect that report or our report dated December 18, 2014, on the financial statements of the City of Battle Creek, Michigan. Community Development Payroll During testing of proper approval and support for time worked in the community development department we noted that time cards prepared by supervisors or department heads do not contain an indication of review, as indicated by initials or signature. It was noted that these time cards are reviewed by the payroll department at the time they are entered into the payroll software although they are not reviewed by another individual from the community development department. We recommend all time worked be reviewed by a knowledgeable employee as indicated on the time cards with initial or signature of the individual whom performed the review. We also noted that the employees' percentage of time is allocated to the various grants based on predetermined percentages set-up in the New World payroll module. The department supervisors performs a quarterly analysis to compare the actual time worked per the employee tracking forms to the predetermined percentage. He noted that percentages are adjusted as necessary. We did however note that if a percentage is reasonable that there is no true-up done to bring the amount charged to the grant to actual. We recommend that at least quarterly actual hours charged to the grants are agreed to the predetermined percentages and a true-up is performed to reflect actual time worked is charged to the programs.

260 Attachment B Upcoming Changes in Accounting Standards For the June 30, 2014 Audit The following pronouncements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) have been released recently and may be applicable to the City in the near future. We encourage management to review the following information and determine which standard(s) may be applicable to the City. For the complete text of these and other GASB standards, visit and click on the pronouncements tab. If you have questions regarding the applicability, timing, or implementation approach for any of these standards, please contact your audit team. GASB 68 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions Effective 06/15/2015 (your FY 2015) This standard establishes new requirements for governments to report a net pension liability for the unfunded portion of its pension plan. Governments that maintain their own pension plans (either single employer or agent multiple-employer) will report a liability for the difference between the total pension liability calculated and the amount held in the pension trust fund. Governments that participate in a cost sharing plan will report a liability for their proportionate share of the net pension liability of the entire system. Historically, governments have only been required to report a net pension obligation to the extent that they have not met the annual required contribution (ARC) in any given year. Upon implementation of this standard, governments will be required to report a net pension liability based on the current funded status of their pension plans. This liability would be limited to the government-wide financial statements and proprietary funds. Changes in this liability from year to year will largely be reflected on the income statement, though certain amounts will be deferred and amortized over varying periods. GASB 68 also requires more extensive note disclosures and required supplementary information, including 10 years of historical information. The methods used to determine the discount rate (the assumed rate of return on plan assets held in trust) are mandated and must be disclosed, along with what the impact would be on the net pension liability if that rate changed by 1% in either direction. Other new disclosure requirements include details of the changes in the components of the net pension liability, comparisons of actual employer contributions to actuarially determined contributions, and ratios to put the net pension liability in context. For single-employer and agent multiple-employer plans, the information for these statements will come from the annual actuarial valuation. For cost sharing plans, this information will be derived from the financial reports of the plan itself, multiplied by the government s proportionate share of plan. GASB 68 is only applicable to pension plans. However, the GASB has announced its intent to issue similar standards for other postemployment benefits (e.g., retiree healthcare) on a two year delay from these standards. B1

261 Attachment B Upcoming Changes in Accounting Standards For the June 30, 2014 Audit GASB 69 Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations Effective 12/15/2014 (your FY 2015) This standard provides detailed requirements for the accounting and disclosure of various types of government combinations, such as mergers, acquisitions, and transfers of operations. The guidance available previously was limited to nongovernmental entities, and therefore did not provide practical examples for situations common in government-specific combinations and disposals. The accounting and disclosure requirements for these events vary based on whether a significant payment is made, the continuation or termination of services, and the legal structure of the new or continuing entity. Given the infrequent nature of these types of events, we do not expect this standard to have any impact on the City at this time. GASB 71 Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date Effective with the Implementation of GASB 68 This standard is an amendment to GASB 68, and seeks to clarify certain implementation issues related to amounts that are deferred and amortized at the time GASB 68 is first adopted. It applies to situations in which the measurement date of an actuarial valuation differs from the government's fiscal year. 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards Cost Principles Effective 12/26/2014; Single Audit Requirements Effective 12/26/2015 (your FY 2016) The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has consolidated seven separate circulars (including administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements) into a single federal regulation. The new Uniform Guidance covers all aspects of federal grants from pre-award through the single audit. While much of the guidance was simply reorganized and recodified, there were also several substantive changes to the single audit thresholds. A single audit will now only be required if total expenditures of federal awards exceed $750,000 (up from $500,000). The OMB has indicated that further changes to the single audit will be announced in In addition, the Uniform Guidance now explicitly requires grant recipients to have sound internal controls that are consistent with the COSO framework and documented procedures for grant administration. Rehmann is available to assist grant recipients in developing/documenting these policies and procedures in compliance with the new requirements. B2
