House to remain empty; no permits have been pulled. Investigation into status of quiet title case shows that it was settled prior to trial.

Chief Klok Good evening, With the recent injury of Chad King, I’d like to open a discussion on Workmen’s Comp. and loss of wages. I think we need to take a serious look at how we are protecting our people, in regard to making ends meet when an accident should occur. Time off due to injury, as we know being a paid-on call firefighter, workmen’s comp is not going to reimburse nearly what is needed for lost wages of your full time job. Also, it won’t even come close to covering the monthly bills. I have a two-fold suggestion in regards to Chad and any further injury that may occur. First, I have ran the stats for Chad for the past 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. He constantly has made 30% of the emergency calls. I would like to propose to continue to pay him for the 30% of calls until he can return to work. This seems like a small gesture to help him along. The second is I would like to make blanket rate of $500-600 per week for any future accident that would occur. This would be paid for through workmen’s comp, I’m not asking for this to come from the general fund. Others departments in our area do this and yes, our workmen’s comp rates will go up. I’m not sure if there is some other type of insurance policy that would pay for this loss of wage due to injury but I feel we need to look at something. Looking for ideas, if we value our people for the job and risks they do for the community, we need to do our job to protect them and their families.

Construction/Field Observation - If Client elects to have Engineer provide construction/field observation, client understands that construction/field observation is conducted to reduce, not eliminate the risk of problems arising during construction, and that provision of the service does not create a warranty or guarantee of any type.

Reference Number: 023 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network reserve the right to adjust rates if any of the assumptions or calculations used to develop the rates are incorrect. Small Group Glossary Age (Component of Rate Change) This represents changes due to members aging since the prior renewal. •Example: If a group has one member who aged from 21 to 22 since the prior renewal, and the age factors are 1.00 and 1.01, respectively, the percentage change due to age is 1 %. Age Factor These factors are used to provide rates based on members' ages. Age F actor Ch anges (Component of Rate Change) This represents changes from the prior renewal period due to revisions to the age factors used to provide age-based member rates. Since the age factors used do not change often, this component's value is normally zero. •Example: In 2018, CMS stipulated changes to child medical age bands that increased the age factors for members under 21. Groups that had a higher than average proportion of children less than 21 years had a positive percentage change for Age Factors. Ar ea (Component of Rate Change) This represents the change in area factors from the prior renewal period due to relatively higher or lower projected claims costs in a rating area. •Example: This percentage will be positive for an area where projected claims cost increases were higher than average. Billable Member A subscriber, spouse, or eligible dependents of the subscriber entitled to benefits under the subscriber's certificate. Only the three oldest children under the age of 21 are included as billable members. Dependent Cap (Component of Rate Change) This component represents the effect of children turning 21 for the upcoming renewal when other children were not Billable Members for the prior renewal. •Example: A family with four children under the age of 21 on their prior renewal would have only been charged for the three oldest children. If one of the children is 21 for the upcoming renewal, the family premium will include rates for all 4 children, and this component will be positive. •Example: If projected claims cost increases compared to the prior year were higher for high deductible plans than for other plans, then this percentage will be positive for high deductible plans. If there is more than 1 plan per carrier, the change will be the aggregate change for all renewing plans of each carrier. Aggregate Product Differences (Component of Rate Change) This represents the aggregate of changes to all benefits and/or product pricing relativity from the prior renewal period. This component also includes the rating impact of any plan benefit being mapped to Health Care Reform compliant products from the prior year. Changes due to members aging out of pediatric dental and/or members aging into adult vision plans are also included. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are nonprofit corporations and independent licensees of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. Full Time Equivalent (FTE) A method to count employees that determines the group size, using an average count from each month of the prior calendar year. Employees working 120 hours or more in a month each count as one full-time employee, while employees working less than that are pro-rated. The average is rounded down to the nearest whole number. Seasonal employees working fewer than 120 days per year and employees who have medical coverage under TRICARE or certain Veterans Administration programs are excluded from this count. Index to Current Rate (Component of Rate Change) This represents the overall change of rate levels from the prior renewal period. Trends, and their favorable/unfavorable results, are reflected in this component. Rating Area A group's rating area will be determined based on the employer's primary Michigan location. Renewal Compliant Benefit Health Care Reform regulations require all small groups have Health Care Reform compliant products. Small Groups will be mapped to Health Care Reform compliant products at each renewal. Small Group Rating Type Groups with a count of 50 or fewer FTEs and with at least one eligible employee enrolling. Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) Document available to subscribers describing their covered benefits, cost sharing, and coverage limitations and exceptions. •Example: If the overall pool is expected to see increased claims costs from the prior year, then this percentage will be positive. 2022 Plan options for your small business With 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees Get more with the complete package Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network will continue to provide a complete health care solution that meets your business needs while adding value with more ways to stretch your dollars, more specialty benefits options and more choices for where your employees can get care.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Charter Township of Cooper, Michigan, as of March 31, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Township, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Township’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Board of Trustees Charter Township of Cooper, Michigan Page 2 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we: Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Township’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Township’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Required supplementary information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison information, and the schedules for the postemployment healthcare plan, as listed in the contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. July 13, 2022 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Charter Township of Cooper MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of the Charter Township of Cooper’s (the Township) financial performance provides a narrative overview of the Township’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Please read it in conjunction with the Township’s financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The Township’s total net position decreased by $431,888 as a result of this year’s activities. Of the $5,968,539 total net position reported, $4,978,960 is available to be used to meet the Township’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and customers, without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, or other legal requirements. The General Fund’s unassigned fund balance at the end of the fiscal year was $4,066,893, which represents 287 percent of the actual General Fund expenditures for the current fiscal year. Overview of the financial statements The Township’s annual report is comprised of three parts: management’s discussion and analysis, the basic financial statements, and required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the Township: The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term information about the Township’s overall financial status. The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the Township government, reporting the Township’s operations in more detail than the government-wide financial statements. o Governmental funds statements explain how government services, like general government, public safety, and public works, were financed in the short-term, as well as what remains for future spending. o Fiduciary funds statements provide information about the financial relationships in which the Township acts solely as a custodian for the benefit of others to whom the resources in question belong. The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The financial statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. A comparative analysis of the government-wide financial statements for 2022 and 2021 is also presented. Government-wide financial statements The government-wide financial statements report information about the Township as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The Statement of Net Position includes all of the Township’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Activities, regardless of when cash is received or paid. -5- Charter Township of Cooper MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) The two government-wide statements report the Township’s net position and how it has changed. Net position (the difference between the Township’s assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources) is one way to measure the Township’s financial health, or position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Township’s net position are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively. To assess the overall health of the Township, you need to consider additional nonfinancial factors, such as changes in the Township’s property tax base and the condition of the Township’s capital assets. The government-wide financial statements present governmental activities. These activities include functions most commonly associated with government (e.g., general government, public safety, public works, etc.). Property taxes and intergovernmental revenues generally fund these services. Fund financial statements The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the Township’s most significant funds - not the Township as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the Township uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes. Some funds are required by state law and bond agreements. The Township Board establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is properly using certain other revenues. The Township has two types of funds: Governmental funds. All of the Township’s basic services are included in its governmental funds, which focus on (1) how cash, and other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash, flows in and out, and (2) the balances left at year end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the Township’s programs. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, we provide additional information that explains the relationship between them. Fiduciary funds. These funds are used to account for the collection and disbursement of resources, primarily taxes, for the benefit of parties outside the Township. The Township is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in the fiduciary funds are used for their intended purposes. The Township’s fiduciary balances and activities are reported in the Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. We exclude these activities from the Township’s government-wide financial statements because the Township cannot use these assets to finance its operations. -6- Charter Township of Cooper MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWNSHIP AS A WHOLE Net position Total net position at the end of the fiscal year was $5,968,539.

The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. Reporting entity: As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present only the Township (located in Kalamazoo County), as management has determined that there are no other entities for which the Township is financially accountable. Government-wide and fund financial statements: The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the Township. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues include: (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function; and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and the fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation : The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental funds financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available if they are collected within the current period, or soon enough thereafter, to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Township generally considers revenues to be available if they are expected to be collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, expenditures relating to compensated absences, and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. State grants, licenses and permits, charges for services, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable only when cash is received by the Township. -18- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued): The Township reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the Township’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the Township, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Revenues are primarily derived from property taxes and state shared revenue. The Water and Sewer Fund accounts for financial resources used for the expansion and maintenance of water and sewer lines within the Township. Revenues are primarily derived from connection fees and special assessments. The Recycling Fund accounts for financial resources used for the operation of the recycling center and seasonal collections within the Township. Revenues are primarily derived from special assessments. The Street Lighting Fund accounts for financial resources used for street lighting within the Township. Revenues are primarily derived from special assessments. The Township also reports fiduciary funds, which account for assets held by the Township as a custodian for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. The Township currently reports two fiduciary funds (Retiree Medical Trust Fund and Tax Collections Fund). Amounts reported as program revenues include: (1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided; (2) operating grants and contributions; and (3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and equity : Bank deposits - Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments - Investments are reported at fair value, with changes in value recognized in the operating statements of each fund. Receivables - In general, outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” No allowance for uncollectible accounts has been recorded, as the Township considers all receivables to be fully collectible. Prepaid items - Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future fiscal years and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Capital assets - Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (water and sewer systems, and similar items), are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Township as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $1,000 ($10,000 for infrastructure assets) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value as of the date received. Governments can elect to account for infrastructure assets either retroactively to June 15, 1980, or prospectively. The Township has elected to account for infrastructure assets prospectively, beginning April 1, 2004. -19- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and equity (continued): Capital assets (continued) - Capital assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives: Buildings and improvements 15 - 40 years Equipment 3 - 10 years Vehicles 3 - 20 years Unearned revenue - Unearned revenue represents resources related to federal grant revenue, which has not yet been earned. Deferred outflows of resources - The statement of net position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element reflects a decrease in net position that applies to a future period. The related expense will not be recognized until a future event occurs. The Township has one item in this category. The deferred outflows, related to the defined benefit other postemployment benefit plan, are discussed in Note 13. No deferred outflows of resources affect the governmental funds financial statements. Deferred inflows of resources - The statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet include a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element reflects an increase in net position that applies to a future period. The related revenues will not be recognized until a future event occurs. The Township has three items that are included in this category: special assessments, interest, and defined benefit other postemployment benefit plan. Special assessment and interest revenues, which are not recognized until available (collected not later than 60 days after the end of the Township's fiscal year), are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the revenues become available. The deferred inflows, related to the defined benefit other postemployment benefit plan, are discussed in Note 13. Net position - Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. The Township reports three categories of net position, as follows: (1) Investment in capital assets consists of net capital assets reduced by outstanding balances of any related debt obligations and deferred inflows of resources attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets; (2) Restricted net position is considered restricted if its use is constrained to a particular purpose. Restrictions are imposed by external organizations, such as federal or state laws or buyers of the Township’s debt. Restricted net position is reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to the restricted assets; (3) Unrestricted net position consists of all other net position that does not meet the definition of the above components and is available for general use by the Township. Net position flow assumption - Sometimes, the Township will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted - net position and unrestricted - net position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Township’s policy to consider restricted - net position to have been depleted before unrestricted - net position is applied. Postemployment benefits other than pensions - For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Cooper Charter Township Retiree Medical Plan and additions to/deductions from the plan fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plan. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. -20- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and equity (continued): Fund equity - Governmental funds report nonspendable fund balance for amounts that cannot be spent because they are either a) not in spendable form, or b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Restricted fund balance is reported when externally imposed constraints are placed on the use of resources by grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments. The Township Board retains the authority to assign fund balances as to purpose. Unassigned fund balances are amounts that do not fall into any other category above. This is the residual classification for amounts in the General Fund. In other governmental funds, only negative unassigned amounts are reported, if any, and represent expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeding the amounts previously restricted or assigned to those purposes. When the Township incurs an expenditure for purposes for which various fund balance classifications can be used, it is the Township’s policy to use the restricted fund balance first, followed by assigned fund balance, and, finally, unassigned fund balance. Property tax revenue recognition - Property taxes are levied as of December 1 on property values assessed as of December 31 of the prior year. The billings are due on or before February 14, at which time the bill becomes delinquent and penalties and interest may be assessed by the Township. The Township considers property taxes levied December 1 to be revenue of the current year. Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY Budgetary information - Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for governmental funds. The budget document presents information by fund, function, and department. The legal level of budgetary control adopted by the governing body is the function level. All annual appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. There were no reportable budget variations at year end. -21- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS Cash and investments, as shown in the government-wide statement of net position and the fiduciary fund statement of net position, were as follows: Governmental Fiduciary activities activities Totals Cash 4,843,336$ 330$ 4,843,666$ Investments 581,740 203,569 785,309 Total cash and investments 5,425,076$ 203,899$ 5,628,975$ Composition of cash and investments: Deposits with financial institutions 4,843,286$ 330$ 4,843,616$ Cash on hand 50 - 50 Investments 581,740 203,569 785,309 Totals 5,425,076$ 203,899$ 5,628,975$ Deposits - State statutes and the Township’s investment policy authorize the Township to make deposits in the accounts of federally-insured banks, credit unions, and savings and loan associations. The Township’s deposits are in accordance with statutory authority. Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a financial institution, the Township will not be able to recover its deposits. The Township’s investment policy does not specifically address custodial credit risk for deposits. At March 31, 2022, $2,738,375 of the Township’s bank balances of $5,219,743 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and uncollateralized. All interest earned on pooled deposits has been assigned to the General Fund. Investments, primary government - State statutes and the Township’s investment policy authorize the Township to invest in a) obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies, and instrumentalities; b) commercial paper rated within the two highest rate classifications, which mature not more than 270 days after the date of purchase; c) repurchase agreements, collateralized by U.S. governmental securities; d) bankers' acceptances; e) mutual funds composed of otherwise legal investments; and f) investment pools organized under the local government investment pool act. Fair value Maturity Rating Source MBIA CLASS Fund 581,740$ Various AAAm S&P Investment Fair value measurement - The Township categorizes its fair value measurements of investments within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The U.S. government securities were valued using observable fair values of similar assets (Level 2). The MBIA CLASS Fund was measured at net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient, and, accordingly, has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. Investments, retiree health plan - The investments of the Township’s other postemployment benefit (OPEB) trust fund are maintained separately from the Township’s pooled cash and investments, are subject to separate investment policies and state statutes. Accordingly, the required disclosures for the OPEB trust fund investments are presented separately. -22- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 3 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS(continued) The Michigan Public Employees Retirement Systems’ Investment Act, Public Act 314 of 1965, as amended, authorizes the other postemployment benefit trust to invest in stocks, governmental and corporate securities, mortgages, real estate, and various other investment instruments, subject to certain limitation. The Township Board has the responsibility and authority to oversee the investment portfolio. The Township has contracted the Constellation Trust Company to assist in managing the OPEB trust fund’s assets. Specific fund holdings at March 31, 2022, consisted of the following: Fair value Mutual Funds: Destinations Large Cap Equity 104,732$ Destinations Core Fixed Income 33,653 Destinations Small Mid Cap Equity 18,560 Destinations Intl Equity Fd 15,580 Destinations Multi Strgy Alt 14,582 Destinations Low Dur Fixed Inc 7,185 Destinations Global Fixd Inc Oppor 6,120 Destinations Equity Income Fd 2,071 Constellation Trust Cash 1,086 Total mutual funds 203,569$ Investment type The Township’s investments are subject to several types of risk, which are discussed below: Custodial credit risk. Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. broker-dealer) to a transaction, the Township will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. State statutes and the Township’s OPEB investment policy require that investment securities be held in trust by a third-party institution, in the name of the benefit trust. The Trust fund holdings are not exposed to custodial credit risk because their existence is not evidenced by securities that exist in physical form. Credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This risk is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in mutual funds and qualified investment pools, including those within the Trust, are not considered to have credit risk. Concentration of credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributable to the magnitude of the Township’s investment in a single holding. The Township’s OPEB investment policy places no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of an investment will decrease as a result of an increase in market interest rates. Generally, longer investment maturities generate more sensitivity to changes in an investment’s fair value due to changes in market interest rates. The Township’s OPEB investment policy has no specific limitations with respect to maturities of investments. The Trust holdings have no maturities. Fair value measurement - The Township categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.

This amount is recognized in the respective fund financial statements as property tax revenue. NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT The Township is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The Township has joined together with other local governmental units in the State to form the Michigan Municipal League Insurance Pool (MML), a public-entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for local governmental units within the State. The Township pays an annual premium to MML for all of its insurance coverages. MML is self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure through commercial companies for claims in excess for each insured event. NOTE 11 - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN The Township contributes to the Cooper Charter Township Group Pension Plan, a defined contribution pension plan, which is administered by a third-party administrator. The plan covers all elected officials or full-time employees, who are eligible to participate six months after they are elected or hired. Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for the Plan are established, and may be amended, by the Township Board. In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan, plus investment earnings. Employees are eligible to participate as described above. The Township contributes annually 15% of the participant’s base salary or $100, whichever is more. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Township made contributions of $48,373. At March 31, 2022, the Township reported no amount as accrued liability as part of the contributions to the plan. The Township’s contributions for each employee (and investment earnings allocated to the employee’s account) are fully vested after twenty months of service. Forfeitures may be used to reduce or reallocate employer contributions. There were no forfeitures during the current fiscal year. The Township is not a trustee of the defined contribution pension plan, nor is the Township responsible for investment management of the pension plan assets. Accordingly, plan assets, and changes therein, are not reported in these financial statements. NOTE 12 - JOINT VENTURE The Township is a member of the Southwest Michigan Building Authority (the Authority), which is a joint venture of the Charter Townships of Oshtemo and Cooper. The administrative board of the Authority consists of members appointed by each participating unit and a member at-large. The Authority was established to administer and enforce the Michigan State Construction Code within its constituent municipalities. The inter-local agreement governing the Authority does not convey an explicit and measurable equity interest to its members. The Township is unaware of any indication that the joint venture is accumulating significant financial resources or is experiencing fiscal stress that may cause an additional financial benefit or burden on the Township in the near future. Complete audited financial statements for the Authority can be obtained by contacting the Authority at 7275 W. Main, Kalamazoo, MI 49009. -26- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 13 - POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTHCARE PLAN Plan description: The Cooper Charter Township OPEB Plan (the Plan) is a single-employer plan established and administered by Cooper Charter Township and can be amended at its discretion. Funding policy: The Plan provides lifetime healthcare insurance for eligible retirees and their spouses through the Township’s group health insurance plan, which covers only retired members. No individuals are eligible for postemployment health benefits under the current plan. The retiree health plan does not issue a publicly available financial report. The Township pays the full cost of coverage of these benefits for retirees and their dependents on a pay-as-you-go basis for health care coverage through private insurers. Retirees are not obligated to make contributions to the plan at this time. As of March 31, 2022, Plan membership consisted of the following: Active participants - Inactive participants - Retirees and beneficiaries 2 Total participants 2 Contributions: The Cooper Charter Township OPEB Plan was established and is being funded under the authority of the Township. The plan's funding policy is that the employer will contribute any required amounts as determined by an annual actuarial valuation as a reference but not as a definitive requirement. Active participants do not make contributions to pre-fund the Plan. There are no long-term contracts for contributions to the plan. The plan has no legally required reserves. Actuarial Assumptions: The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of March 31, 2022, rolled forward to the measurement date. The following actuarial assumptions were used in the measurement: Inflation Included in investment rate of return Salary increase Not applicable Investment rate of return 7.00% (including inflation) 20-year Aa Municipal bond rate 3.46% (S&P Municipal Bond 20-Year High Grade Rate Index) Mortality 2010 Public General Employee and Healthy Retiree, headcount weighted with MP-2021 improvement scale -27- Charter Township of Cooper NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 13 - POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTHCARE PLAN (Continued) The long-term expected rate of return on retirement plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of retirement plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the Plan’s target asset allocation as of March 31, 2022, are summarized in the following table: Long-Term Expected Asset Class Target Allocation Real Rate of Return Global Equity 64.00%8.00% Global fixed income 26.00%5.50% Real Assets 5.00%6.20% Diversifying strategies 5.00%2.75% Real estate 0.00%1.30% The sum of each target allocation times its long-term expected real rate, plus inflation, is 7.00%. Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 7.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the Township will make no further contribution to the trust and that assets will be used to pay benefits. Based on this assumption, the retirement plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be sufficient to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. For projected benefits that are covered by projected assets, the long-term expected rate was used to discount the projected benefits. From the year that benefit payments were not projected to be covered by the projected assets (the “depletion date”, not applicable for this plan), projected benefits were discounted at a discount rate reflecting a 20-year AA/Aa tax-exempt municipal bond yield. A single equivalent discount rate that yields the same present value of benefits is calculated. This discount rate is used to determine the Total OPEB Liability. As of March 31, 2022, the discount rate used to value OPEB liabilities was 7.00%.

The objective of this Statement is to increase the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use the underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities. In May 2020, the GASB issued Statement No. 96, Subscription-based Information Technology Arrangements. This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset - an intangible asset - and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended. The Township is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the financial statements when adopted during the 2023 fiscal year. -31- REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Charter Township of Cooper BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE -

The cost will be determined by the amount of participation. I have been working with Lee Adams from the Upjohn Institute getting quotes for the survey. An estimated cost was figured with all units of government in the county to participate was from around $2000.00 to $6000.00 depending how in depth the survey went. Once we get the amount of interest, I will schedule a meeting to determine next steps in the process. Thank you for your time and support.
