                                             Comments on Key Forecast Assumptions

Property Taxes - assumes phaseout of operations at the City's largest property taxpayer - The BC Cobb electric generating plant.
For 2016 it is assumed City will levy its one remaining general operating mill to help offset the Cobb losses.
State Shared Revenues - stable with slight growth as state economy rebounds.                                                                   $30,000,000

Income Tax - moderate growth assumes no recession during forecast period.
                                                                                                                                               $25,000,000


                                                                                                                                               $20,000,000
Salaries & Benefits - assumes very modest wage increases but growing increases in pension and health insurance costs.
Capital Outlays - likely to decrease due to competing cost pressures.                                                                          $15,000,000                                                                                                Revenues
Transfers - the General Fund subsidy to retire the SmartZone bonds will grow as will need for local funding for streets. Also assumes
support of the LC Walker Arena will need to increase significantly.                                                                            $10,000,000                                                                                                Expenditures

The City currently has healthy general fund balance and budget stabilization reserve. However, Consumers Energy has
announced the closure of the BC Cobb facility which will result in significant annual property tax loss. State shared revenues                 $(5,000,000)
seemed to have stabilized and are slightly increasing. On the expenditure side it is assumed that the mix of general fund
operations remains stable. Additional transfers to other funds will be needed to help cover Smartzone debt service. It is
                                                                                                                                              $(10,000,000)
assumed that wage growth can be kept at modest levels; however, significant cost pressures are anticipated from pension                                          FY14          FY15         FY16         FY17         FY18         FY19
and/or healthcare. Without significant new revenues or cutbacks in staff/service levels, the forecast is for continued annual
operating deficits that will exhaust the City's fund balance reserves in 2-3 years.
