• New for FY 2013: Each city, village, township, and county shall include a projected budget report, which is made up of two separate documents, as part of their EVIP or CIP submission. - The first document is a budget report that shall, at a minimum, cover a two year period, your current fiscal year and a projection of the immediately following fiscal year. The projection of the immediately following fiscal year does not need to be approved by the local government's governing body, this is simply a projection.
The budget report should include the general fund, at a minimum. However, you have the option to present additional funds. The budget report shall include revenues and expenditures. These budgeted items can be presented in a summary format. Additionally, include an explanation of the assumptions used for the projections.
- The second document is a detailed listing of debt service requirements. Provide detail of the annual principal and interest payments for each separate debt service from the current fiscal year until maturity.
