Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of this presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Genesee County Board of County Commissioners. We believe the data as 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 County as measured by the financial activity of its various funds, and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the County's financial activity have been included. A more detailed statement of management's responsibility for the financial statements is included in the Financial Section of this report, following the Auditor's opinion. In addition, the report provides 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. State Statutes require an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. The accounting firm of Plante & Moran, PLLC, was selected and approved by the Genesee County Board of County Commissioners. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in State statutes, the audit is designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Single Audit Act of 1984 and related OMB Circular A-133. Plante & Moran, PLLC, has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on Genesee County's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. That report on the basic financial statements and combining and individual fund statements and schedules is included in the financial section of this report. The auditor’s report related specifically to the single audit is not included in this report, but is issued as a separate report.

Further information regarding the description of the County and its operations is included in Note 1 to the Financial Statements. Organization of Government Unit The government structure of Genesee County is based upon the State Constitution and the general laws of the State of Michigan. The County's legislative body and its administrative body for many functions is the Board of County Commissioners. The Board consists of nine commissioners elected by direct vote from single member districts. In addition to the nine members of the Board of Commissioners, there are twenty-two other elected officials serving the County as judicial, administrative, or staff officers.

These areas are: legislative, administration of justice, law enforcement and community protection, human services, community enrichment and development, management and planning, and general support. Approximately 95 percent of these services are mandated by State law and the Board is responsible for determining the funding level needed to maintain these functions at a serviceable level.

  • REIMAGINING Chevy in the Hole
    REIMAGINING Chevy in the Hole FLINT, MICHIGAN Table of Contents 1 Introduction 4 Site Context and History 8 Industrial Land Use Legacy 10 Imagining New Futures for Chevy in the Hole Flint’s Urban Riverfront 12 Phase 1 16 Phase 2 Flint River State Park 20 Phase 1 24 Phase 2 28 Analysis of New Futures 31 Conclusion by Flint Futures Group, School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan Partners: Genesee County Land Bank & Genesse Institute Introduction 1 The City of Flint faces serious challenges related to its high number of abandoned properties and vacant lots. These empty patches in the landscape pose safety risks, decrease the city’s visual quality, and often contribute to environmen- tal contamination. One of the most problematic vacant lots, a 130-acre property known in Flint as “Chevy in the Hole,” was a key center of manufacturing for General Motors for most of the past century. Adjacent to downtown and surrounded by residential neighborhoods, redevelopment of this riverfront property will play a key role in Flint’s recovery. In this plan- ning document, the Flint Futures group from the School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan presents two scenarios for redevelopment of Chevy in the Hole, each responding to a different series of plausible assumptions about residual contamination and Flint’s future growth. Both scenarios are based on the stated preferences of Flint’s residents and business owners. In 2005, Sasaki Associates worked with a client group com- posed of the Genesee County Land Bank, Kettering University, and the C.S.
