These financial statements are the responsibility of the City o South Lyon, Michigan’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of South Lyon, Michigan as of 30, 2010 and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management's discussion and analysis and the budgetary comparison schedules, as identified in the table of contents, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplemental information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.

Managements Discussion and Analysis
Our discussion and analysis of the City of South Lyon, Michigans (the City) financial performance provides an overview of the City of South Lyons financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Please read it in conjunction with the Citys financial statements.
Financial Highlights
As discussed in further detail in this managements discussion and analysis, the following represents the most significant financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2010:
•
•
Revenues exceeded expenditures in the General Fund, thus increasing fund balance by approximately $140,000. This exceeded expectations as the final amended budget expected a decrease of approximately $229,000.
Total net assets related to the Citys governmental activities decreased by approximately $654,000.
Using this Annual Report
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The statement of net assets and the statement of activities provide information about the activities of the City as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Citys finances. This longer-term view uses the accrual basis of accounting so that it can measure the cost of providing services during the current year, and whether the taxpayers have funded the full cost of providing government services.
The fund financial statements present a short-term view; they tell us how the taxpayers resources were spent during the year, as well as how much is available for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the Citys operations in more detail than the government-wide financial statements by providing information about the Citys most significant funds.

Managements Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
The City of South Lyons Funds
Our analysis of the Citys major funds begins on page 11, following the government-wide financial statements. The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds, not the City as a whole. The South Lyon City Council creates funds to help manage money for specific purposes, as well as to show accountability for certain activities, such as major and local road maintenance and debt service. The Citys major funds for 2010 include the General Fund, the Capital Improvements Fund, and the Water and Sewer Fund.
The General Fund pays for most of the Citys governmental services. The most significant is the police department, which incurred expenses of approximately $2,215,000 in 2010. Other government services accounted for in the General Fund include general government, the department of public works, the fire department, and recreation.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Over the course of the year, the City amended the budget to account for changes made necessary due to unanticipated events or situations requiring less expenditures for operational and capital expenditures.
There were no significant unfavorable budget variances within the General Fund. Overall, the total expenditures were approximately $457,000 under budget; however, revenues and other financing sources offset a portion of this as those were under budget by $78,000.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
At the end of 2009, the City had approximately $56,180,000 invested in a broad range of capital assets, including buildings, police and fire equipment, and water and sewer lines. In addition, the City has invested significantly in roads within the City.
Economic Factors and Next Years Budgets and Rates
The Citys budget for next year takes into consideration many factors anticipated to impact the budget. Among them are another potential decrease in state-shared revenues, a reduction in property taxes due to the devaluation of the taxable value (in both the housing and commercial markets), a decline in water and sewer sales due to the poor economy, and foreclosures and the loss of businesses. However, despite all of these factors, given our healthy fund balance, we do not anticipate any reductions in service levels based on potential revenue reductions. Over the years, the City has had the flexibility to adjust various ad valorem tax rates as necessary and as determined by Headlee, Truth in Taxation, and Proposal A. The state-wide Tax Reform Acts limit growth in taxable value to inflation or 5 percent, whichever is less. Inflation rates in recent years have only been in the range of 2.3 percent to 4.4 percent.
Due to the troubled economy of Southeastern Michigan, the taxable value of the City has actually decreased 9.1 percent for 2010-2011.
