This report is prepared for the purpose of disclosing the City’s financial condition to its residents, elected officials, and other interested parties. INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORT Responsibility The Office of the Chief Financial Officer prepares the City’s CAFR and is responsible for both, the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures. We believe the data presented is accurate in all material aspects, that it is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City’s primary government and component units for which it is financially accountable and that the disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial affairs have been included. Adherence to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) GAAP requires 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 the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of independent auditors. Independent Audit All local units of government within the State of Michigan must comply with the Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act, Public Act 2 of 1968, as amended, which requires an annual audit of the financial records and transactions of the City by independent certified public accountants. The primary purpose of the auditing requirements of this act is to maintain the confidence of all interested parties in the integrity of the record keeping and financial reporting of local units of government. PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT Background and Overviews Detroit is the largest city in the state of Michigan and is the seat of Wayne County. The City covers approximately 140 square miles and accounts for nearly half of the population of Wayne County. The City is internationally known for automotive manufacturing and trade. Detroit is located on an international waterway, which is linked via the St. Lawrence Seaway to seaports around the world. The City was incorporated in 1806, and is a home rule city under State law. The organizational structure of the City is as follows: I-1 Emergency Management In February 2013, a financial review team appointed by the Governor of the State of Michigan determined that a local government financial emergency existed in the City. On March 14, 2013, the Local Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board appointed Kevyn Orr as the emergency financial manager of the City in accordance with the State of Michigan Public Act 72 of 1990, the Local Government, and School District Fiscal Responsibility Act (“PA 72”). On March 28, 2013, Michigan Public Act 436 of 2012, the Local Financial Stability, and Choice Act (“PA 436”), took effect, and replaced PA 72. PA 436 specified that an emergency financial manager appointed under PA 72 and serving on the effective date of PA 436 would continue to serve under the new act. PA 436 changed the title of the emergency financial manager to emergency manager and expanded the powers of the emergency manager to include the ability to recommend to the Governor that the City file a petition for relief under Chapter 9 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). The Emergency Manager (“EM”) delivered a letter to the Governor and the State Treasurer on July 16, 2013, pursuant to Section 18(1) of PA 436 (the “Recommendation Letter”), recommending that the City be authorized to seek relief under Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code. The EM stated in the Recommendation Letter: “Based on the current facts and circumstances, I have concluded that no reasonable alternative to rectifying the City's financial emergency exists other than the confirmation of a plan of adjustment for the City's debts pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code because the City cannot adopt a feasible financial plan that can satisfactorily rectify the financial emergency outside of a Chapter 9 process in a timely manner.” On July 18, 2013, the Governor delivered a letter to the EM and the State Treasurer (the "Authorization Letter") authorizing the City to commence a bankruptcy case under Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the Authorization Letter, the Governor agreed with the EM that Chapter 9 offered the only feasible alternative to fix the City's finances and to complete a sustainable restructuring for the benefit of Detroit's approximately 700,000 residents. Based on the EM's Recommendation Letter, the Governor determined that: (a) the City could not meet its obligations to its citizens; (b) the City could not meet its basic obligations to its creditors; (c) the City's failure to meet its obligations to its citizens was the primary cause of its inability to meet its obligations to its creditors; and (d) the only feasible path to ensuring the City will be able to meet its obligations in the future was to have a successful restructuring under the federal bankruptcy process. Upon receiving the Authorization Letter, the EM issued an order directing the commencement of the City's Chapter 9 bankruptcy case.
