Guidelines for Funding of Social Services Budget Code 435
Social service funding will be divided into categories as follows:
1. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS. Services which the City is required to or otherwise would
provide itself and has chosen to enter into ioint nowers agreements with other governmental units
to provide those services. Increased costs of providing these services over time are to be anticipated
in the budget process based on allocation of costs to the City under the joint powers agreements.
Guideline: The services will be funded and included in the budget.
The City Council will review these services in February of even numbered years to
determine if the delivery mechanism through joint powers is appropriate and effective.
Unless the Council directs notice of intent to leave the joint powers agreement by March of
any given year, the budget will include participation for the following year.
2. SERVICES DEPENDENT ON CITY FUNDING. General services which the City could
provide itself and has chosen to contract for its provision by another entity, where the provision of
the service in Brooklvn Center is denendent on the Citv's provision of financial sunnort at a given
level. Increased costs of providing these services over time are to be anticipated in the budget process
based on allocation of costs to provide the service in the City..
Guideline: The services will be funded and included in the budget at a level necessary for the
provision of the service.
The City Council will review these services in February of each year to determine if the
delivery mechanism through contract is appropriate and effective. Unless the Council directs
notice of intent t terminate contractual provision of services by March of any given year, the
budget will include participation for the following year.

and has chosen to contract for its provision by another entity and the provision of service in
Brooklyn Center would be aided by City financial sunnort. but is not denendent on Citv financial
,snort.
Guideline: Based on a timely application for funding, the City Council will consider the
following factors in determining funding in this category and allocate funding up to a total
amount determined by the City council
- service is unique in the City: that is, there is a rational for funding the
organization's service provision, as opposed to funding one organization out of a
group of similar organizations without an objective basis for differentiating between
the organizations
