These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Flint Downtown Development Authority, which represent 68 percent, 66 percent, and 50 percent, respectively, of the assets, net assets, and revenue of the discretely presented component units. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Flint Downtown Development Authority, is based on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. The audit of the primary government was conducted in accordance with the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 Flint, Michigan as of June 30, 2007, and the respective changes in financial position and the cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 1 Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Flint’s basic financial statements. The management’s discussion and analysis, retirement system schedules of funding progress, and the budgetary comparison schedule, as identified in the table of contents are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The other supplemental information, as identified in the table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining balance sheets, combining statements of revenue, expenditures and changes in fund balance, and budgetary comparison schedules, have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, are fairly presented in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 27, 2007 on our consideration of the City of Flint’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 opinions on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. December 27, 2007 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis City of Flint Management’s Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Flint, we offer readers of the City of Flint’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Flint for the fiscal year ended June 30,

  • General Motors WE CARE Case Study Air Filter Refurbishment Program
    General Motors WE CARE Case Study Air Filter Refurbishment Program Moves Forward GM Vehicle Operations, Flint Truck Assembly, Flint, Michigan: Recipient of a 2002 WE CARE Award for Materials Conservation/Pollution Prevention Description of the Facility: The General Motors (GM) Flint Truck Assembly plant is located in Flint, Michigan. The 3.2 million square foot facility is situated on 159 acres and employs over 3,100 people. Flint Truck produces the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Crew Cab and the new 560 Medium duty truck. Description of the Opportunity: Air filtration systems that utilize cylindrical air filters are used extensively throughout GM Assembly, Metal Fabricating, and Powertrain Operations. These air filtration systems filter particulate matter from the air that is generated from plant production activities, such as welding. Therefore, these systems help keep plant indoor air clean. The system uses filters, which are changed on a regular basis when dirty as indicated by pressure differential. The filters are typically two feet in height, 15 to 20-inches in diameter, and weigh 12 to 15 pounds new. They consist of a mesh metal cylinder, metal end caps, neoprene seals, and a polyester-blend pleated media. In the past, used filters were placed in a 20 or 32-yard waste gondola. When the gondola was full, it was removed and the filters were placed in a landfill. Description of the Improvement: Flint Truck Assembly was the first GM plant to utilize a new development in air filter reuse and recycling. The process involves a GM supplier who built a mobile recycling unit, based on GM recommendations.

  • The First Century of Gmc Truck History Compiled by Donald E
    THE FIRST CENTURY OF GMC TRUCK HISTORY COMPILED BY DONALD E. MEYER INTRODUCTION GMC has been and is now one of the most successful of the pioneers in the manufacture and sales of commercial motor vehicles. The GMC brand is one of few of the original makes that have survived into the 21st century. The reputation of GMC truck quality, value, dependability and performance and the resulting user brand loyalty originated with the first roots of GMC products. It has been said that the roots of GMC Trucks go back to the 3 Rs of early truck development: Rapid, Reliance and Randolph. Truly, the first GMC trucks were Rapid or Reliance trucks with GMC nameplates. However, Randolph trucks apparently had little or no influence on GMC design. We start with the earliest root, the Rapid motor truck. CHAPTER 1: 1900 - 1919 1900 Max and Morris Grabowsky formed the Grabowsky Motor Vehicle Co. in Detroit. They started building a commercial truck prototype with a single cylinder horizontal engine, 2-speed planetary transmission and chain drive with a seat over the engine. Top speed was 10 mph and capacity was 1-ton. 1901 The Grabowsky brothers completed their first truck but while testing it found it to be under powered. They then began building a second truck powered by a 15 hp 2-cylinder horizontally opposed engine with a drivetrain similar to the protoype. 1902 Grabowsky brothers reorganized and formed Rapid Motor Vehicle Company. They sold that second truck to American Garment Cleaning Co. It probably was the first gasoline powered commercial vehicle on the streets of Detroit.
