This list from 2010 doesn’t jive with the cities listed here. Does that mean the cities are just getting bailed out by the state?

The one you have presented “feels” more correct in my view of the world.

Cities get bailed out in a lot of ways. One that seems common is for the states and counties to allow police to patrol city jurisdictions rather than the city paying for more cops. Detroit has a police helicopter that's supposed to be operated by the state police with the city responsible for maintenance and fuel. I don't think its ever been out of storage.
