LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TTAL ADOPTED 1974 BUDGET
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmen
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
f Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the annual budget for the City of Brook Center as adop for
g y y p d the
year 1974. The budget was adopted on October 1, 1973 upon completing the annual hearings
which commenced on September 10, 1973. It should be noted that this document reflects 1974
amendments to the adopted budget consisting of a distribution of appropriations from the
Unallocated Departmental Labor account to various department accounts where wages had been
settled. At the time of the printing of this document, certain 1974 salary rates,had not
been successfully negotiated in the Department of Police, Parks and Recreation and Public
Works, and are shown in this budget document at 1972 and 1973 salary rates.
The total 1974 tax levy in the amount of $1,518,271 is equivalent to a mill rate of 15.710
mills, an increase of 0.992 mills from 1973. It should again be noted that the rate of
property taxation for City purposes has remained very stable since 1962.
Based upon the adopted budget, the City tax levy on a $25,000 homesteaded property would
amount to $82.43, a decrease of $5.25 from 1973. The decrease is primarily due to the
action of the 1973 Legislature increasing property tax relief from 35% to 45 as well as
the increased tax base resulting from commercial and industrial growth in the community.
Approximately 17fi of each property tax dollar goes for the support of City government
services while approximately 51� of each property tax dollar goes for the support of the
respective school districts and approximately 26C of each property tax dollar goes for
the support of Hennepin County government services. The school districts' share of the
property tax dollar was substantially decreased by a 1973 legislative act which provides
for State financing of 45% of the school districts' annual debt retirement. This action
had the net effect of reducing property taxes and the school districts' share thereof,
while increasing the proportion of the tax dollar allocated to municipal and county
government.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL PROPOSED 1974 BUDGET
September 4, 1973
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmen
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the proposed budget for City operations for calendar year 1974.
This proposal constitutes the third annual budget affected by the levy limitation feature of the 1971
Omnibus Tax Law enacted by the State Legislature. However, this 1974 budget proposal is further
influenced by 1973 legislative amendments to the "levy limits law".
Fortunately, the 1973 amendments have the effect of reducing or eliminating certain of the major
inequities in the original law through provision for new and clarified special tax levies outside of
the basic levy limitation. Thus, for example, a new special levy permits municipalities such as
Brooklyn Center to levy property taxes to support governmental services which must be provided to
new business and industry within the community. During the preceding two years proposed business
and industry constituted a net liability in terms of the City's financial ability to provide services.
Another 1973 amendment to the law provides prospective relief from the fact that Brooklyn Center
was caught in the base year 1971 with an artificially low tax levy. Although the remedy is not
required for this 1974 budget proposal, there is provision for avoiding a 33% "excess levy" penalty
in any year by exposing such proposed "excess levy" to an initiative referendum. If no referendum
is requested, the "excess levy" penalty is only 15 If a referendum is requested and passes, there
is no penalty and the "excess levy" would constitute a permanent adjustment to the levy limit base.
If a referendum is requested and fails, the proposed "excess levy" would not be allowed.
A major new revenue source in the form of Federal Revenue Sharing funds has been employed in this
proposed 1974 budget. Approximately $117,000 of Revenue Sharing money is recommended to be used
to purchase capital equipment, the acquisition of which has been deferred from previous years due to
the unique harshness of the levy limitations law as it affected Brooklyn Center. Thus, the capital outlay
-3-
portion of the budget proposal is approximately double what could P Y d be considered a normal capital outlay
proposal. This proposed use of part of the Revenue Sharing monies complies with the City Council's
announced policy of not spending the. monies for recurring operational purposes and thereby avoiding the
trauma associated with reducing services if the Revenue Sharing program is eliminated by Congress.
The acquisition of adequate equipment items allows for more efficient deployment of personnel to the
effect that only two new employee positions are recommended. Despite adequately providing labor saving
public safety equipment in past years, the call for police services requires the proposed addition of two
positions to serve that function at a cost of nearly $30,000.
The City Assessor tentatively reports that the 1973 -74 taxable assessed value of Brooklyn Center property
amounts to $96,654,806. By 1971 legislative definition, assessed valuation is based upon market value,
eliminating the "full and true value" step in previous valuation calculations. Thus, the assessed valua-
tion is three times larger than before the definition change and the resulting mill rates are only one -third
as great.
The proposed 1974 Brooklyn Center mill rate amounts t015.710mills representing an increase of 0.992 mills
over 1973. The proposed 1974 mill rate is 0. 57 mills below the preceding twelve year average mill rate
of 16.28 mills.
For purposes of perspective, application of the propo sedl5. 7 10 mill rate to a $25,000 homesteaded property,
with appropriate adjustments for indebtedness and the enlarged 45% tax relief feature, would yield a 1974
City tax amounting to $82. 43. This represents a $5 25 annual reduction from the $87.68 City property tax
on a $25,000 home in 1973 and is primarily due to the action of the 1973 Legislature increasing property 4
tax relief from 35% to 45 as well as the increased tax base resulting from commercial and industrial
growth in the community.
It is necessary to point out that with the exception of the educational function, this City property tax
amounting to $6.8 7 per month purchases most of the major services which the homeowner normally associates
with "government" yet it accounts for only one seventh of the total property tax paid by the homeowner. t
The rapidily increasing complexities of municipal finance and budgeting require the assistance of top -notch
people.. So too does the development of ,statistics and reports and the accurate and diligent efforts that go
-4-
into publishing a comprehensive document such as this proposal. Sincere appreciation is extended to
all who lent such assistance City department heads and their line personnel, the staff inthe Finance
Department, and the secretaries who put together and published the final document under rigorous time
pressures., As in the past, special thanks is due Finance Director Paul Holmlund for his extraordinary
efforts and his expert advice in this endeavor.

EXPLANATION OF REVENUE.ESTIMATES
I. GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES:
a. The Hennepin County Department of Finance has reported an assessed valuation of
$96,662,138 to be used in computing the 1974 mill rate.
Dividing the proposed tax levy of $1,518,271 by the assessed valuation of $96,662,138
yields a mill rate of 15.710 for the budget year 1974.
The State Legislature in 1971 changed the method of computing assessed valuation
(i.e., eliminating the conversion of "market value" to "true and full value" by
dividing market value by three) thus decreasing mill rates to one third. Under
the prior system, the 1974 mill rate would be 47.13 mills.
The following summary compares the tax levies and mill rates of recent ears:
(for comparative purposes, the y
prior system mill rates have been converted to the
present system and are shown in parenthesis),

b. Penalties and Interest on Tax Bills:
The amount of revenue to be derived from this source in any given year is a function
of the general state of the national economy, and thus difficult to estimate.
However, analysis of revenues received in previous years and experience to date in
1973 prompts the current estimate of $25,000.
-15-
II. BUSINESS LICENSES AND PERMITS
Revenues from this source are derived through the issuance of regulatory permits
and licenses by the City to business establishments. Included in this category
are: liquor and malt licenses, cigarette licenses, garbage licenses, taxicab
licenses, mechanical licenses, food handling licenses, service station licenses,
motor vehicle dealer's licenses, bowling alley licenses and miscellaneous
business licenses and permits. It is anticipated that receipts from three
liquor licenses at $10,000 each will be received in 1974. Based upon past
and current experience, it is anticipated that revenue from other business
licenses and permits will amount to $12,000. The total estimate for 1974 is
$42,000.
III. NON- BUSINESS LICENSES AND PERMITS
Revenues from this source are derived through the issuance of permits and licenses
by the City for purposes other than to operate a business. Included in this
category are: dog licenses, building permits, mechanical permits, sewage and
water permits, plumbing permits, electrical permits, and miscellaneous non business
licenses and permits. An estimated revenue of $50,000 has been anticipated from
this source in 1974.
IV. STREET USE
At the present time, this category comprehends only the issuance of bicycle
licenses. A 1970 ordinance revision established a permanent license fee of
$2.00. It is expected that 1974 revenue will amount to $1,000.
V. COURT FINES
This category comprehends those revenues received'from fines imposed for traffic
and ordinance violations. Estimated revenue from this source is a net of $50,000
after allowing for deduction of transaction charges set by the Hennepin County
court system.
Vi. INTEREST
Revenues in this category represent the anticipated earnings of the General
Fund from temporary investments. The estimate for 1974 is $10,000.
-16- i
1
VII. RENT
Items included in this category include rental fees assessed for use of various
publi.o- .fagi1ities, rental charges to Public Utilities for office space, and
equipment rental. charges. -made to special:assessent projects`ancl to the Public'
Utilities ,Division. Since revenue from equipment rental charges made to `special
assessmenti_projects,is a- function of citizens petitioning for' improvement projects;
a precise estimate of revenue from this source is extremely difficult. Based
upon -p ast,experience,:_however, it has been determined that rent revenues will
amount to $13,000 in 1974.
VIII. SHARED,,- Ti�xgs
a. Local Government Aid
1
The Omnibus Tax Law of 1971 established new local government aids which replaced
the sales tax per capita aid payments and exempt personal property reimbursements.
The aids come from state sales and income taxes, are allocated to municipalities
through the use of a complex formula, and are distributed to the municipalities in
four equal payments on March 15,_ July 15,;. Septemb er 15, .and November 15. Article
1 17 of the Revenue Act of 1.973 continued the 1971 system of aids fbr municipalities.
However, the 1.97,3 Act made major changes in the distribution of hared taxes to
muni j including,--the elimination. ofthe ;sharing by the State With munici-
palities of cigarette and .liquor taxes,- bank excise taxes and mortgage` registry
taxes. The allocation formula to be used for the Twin City metropolitan area for
1974 -is as follows. An to $36 times the total population of the area
will be distributed in the area. Of this amount, the seven county governments
receive share equal to 16 percent. These aids will be distributed to each
county in the proportion that the levy of each payable 1973 bears to the total
levy of the seven. Special districts will receive the amount they were entitled
to in 1971 in exempt personal property reimbursement." The balance "rem aining after
the counties and special districts receive their aid shall be divided among the
municipalities in the proportion that the dollar amount of the levy limitation and
special levies of each for taxes payable in 1973 bears to the amount of levy
limitations and.special levies of all municipalities in the metro area. If the
formula contained in the 1973 law was used, Brooklyn' Center° would have received
less ,io aid in 1974 than we would have received -;from revenues which local
government aid was to replace however, the law also provides that no municipality
will.,. receive ies.s than they,, ti-d have received in 1973 under provisions of the
e.
1971 law. Preliminary estimates from the State Department of Revenue indicate
that we will receive $646,715 from this source in 1974.
-17-
b. Gasoline Tax (State Aid Maintenance)
The highway user taxes consist of three separate sources: the State Gasoline
Tax, Motor Vehicle Registration Fees, and Mobile Home Registration Fees. These
taxes are apportioned.upon the following basis 62.4% to -the state, 28.6 -to
counties, and 9.0 to municipalities with a population in excess of 5,000. Of
the municipalities' share, 50/ is distributed on the basis of "money needs"
related to state aid system street construction, and 50/ is distributed on a
per capita basis. During 1970, the City sold State -Aid bonds to finance street
improvements. The 1974 State -Aid maintenance distribution was pledged to the
payment of interest on these bonds. Therefore, no revenue for the General Fund
will be realized from the gasoline tax during 1974.
c. Police Pension Aid
The 1971 State Legislature placed a one percent tax on auto insurance premiums.
Twenty percent of the collections will be paid to the PERA, Police and Fire
Pension Fund and 80% will be distributed to municipalities maintaining police
departments. The distribution to municipalities will be distributed according
to population and assessed value. Brooklyn Center's share is anticipated to be
$20,000 in 1974.
d. Fixed Machinery Tax Replacement
The 1973 Legislature removed fixed machinery from real property to be taxed.
An amount of $984 will be received in 1974 from the State to replace the -loss
of revenue.
IX. GENERAL•GOVERNMENT SERVICES
a. Plattinq Fees
The Subdivision Ordinance requires a fee of $25 plus $1 per lot to be paid upon
the submission of a proposed subdivision document for consideration by City
officials. 'The current estimate of $300 is based upon past experience.
b. Zoninq and Special Use Charges
The Zoning Ordinance establishes certain fees to be paid by applicants for
rezoning requests, variances, special use permits, and plan approval requests t
as a means to defray costs associated with processing the applications. It
is estimated that $1,000 will be received from this revenue source.
-18
c. Assessment Searches, Map Sales, Etc.
During the course of the year, the City is requested to furnish information
regarding the amount of special assessments levied against various parcels
of property within the City. When this information is requested by someone
other than the property owner, a $2 search fee is charged. The City
occasionally also sells maps, photostats, etc., the revenues of which are
reflected in this item. Upon past experience, it is estimated that $2,000
will be generated from this source.
d. Engineerinq and Clerical Fees
Revenues in this category are derived from a percentage charge made against
improvement projects designed or administered by the Engineering Division, as
well as against street improvements financed through the City's share of State
Aid funds. Based upon past experience and the anticipated program of next
year, it is estimated that this activity will generate $50,000 in revenues.
e. Police Towinq Charqes
When a vehicle that has been towed or stored by Police order is claimed by
the owner, the owner must pay the expenses involved in the towing and /or
storage. It is anticipated that $300 will be recovered from vehicle owners
in 1974. Recovery of towing and storage charges for unclaimed vehicles is
accomplished through a police auction of the vehicles. Income from police'
auctions is shown under the item of other income.
f. Weed Cuttinq
Noxious weeds not controlled by the property owner are ordered cut by the
City by a private weed cutting contractor. The City pays the contractor
and in turn bills the property owner. $1,500 in revenues from this source
are expected in 1974.
g. Burglar Alarm Service
Burglar alarm service is provided by the Police Department for local business
and governmental operations. The cost plus a service charge is billed to the
property owner receiving the service, It is anticipated that $1,260 in
revenues Will be received during 1974 from this source.
-19-
r
i
h. Fire Alarm Service (Same as Burglar Alarm Service)
Anticipated revenue for 1974 is $1,008.
X. RECREATION FEES
An estimated $201,550 is anticipated to be generated through activity fees
charged for various park and recreation programs. An analysis of the anti-
P
ci ated revenue from this source is set forth at the back of this section.
XI. INCOME FROM PRIVATE SOURCES (FEDERAL GRANTS)
No Federal grants are anticipated in 1974.
XII. REFUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS
a. Civil Defense
The provisions of the Federal Civil Defense Program provide for a reimbursement
to local units of government on the basis of fifty percent of the costs for
approved equipment and personnel. The amount of $10,197 represents the federal
share of eligible Civil Defense expenditures for 1974.
b. Public Utilities and Administration Reimbursement
The proprietary nature of the Public Utilities operation, and the corresponding
enterprise type of accounting employed requires that all costs of operations be
reflected. An anticipated revenue of $12,600 represents a charge to the Public
Utilities Fund for administration and supervisory costs.
C. Labor Charqed to Special Assessment and Outside Charqes
It is the policy of the City that the Street Division of the Public Works
Department performs the grading and base work on all residential street
construction projects on a force account basis. The Street Division labor
costs are posted to the individual projects and eventually recovered by a
special assessment levy. This revenue item is therefore a function of the
extent to which street construction projects are initiated by petition of
property owners. Based upon reviewal of anticipated 1974 special assessment
activity it is estimated that no labor will be expended upon such special
assessment projects and no reimbursements will accrue to the City as a revenue
in 1974.

d. CountvLibrary Buildin q Maintenance
The municipal library building was sold to Hennepin County in 1969. At the
time of the sale, it was agreed between the City of Brooklyn Center and
Hennepin County that the City would continue to maintain the library facility
on a reimbursement basis. The County has since changed its policy of library
maintenance and during 1971 took-over the maintenance of the local library.
Therefore, no revenue will be received from this source in 1974.
e. Other
Throughout the year, the City receives a variety of small reimbursements for
miscellaneous items and services. Based upon a review of previous experience,
$2,000 in revenue is estimated for 1974.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Function
Under the "Council- Manager Plan" of government as established by the City Charter, the
Council exercises the legislative authority of the City and determines matters of policy. The Council
consists of the Mayor and four Councilmen, all serving on a part -time basis.
Proposals for 1974
It is proposed to maintain an appropriation of $5,000 for professional and consultant fees to
provide for any necessary special planning studies, consulting services to advisory, boards and
commissions as may be needed, and such other outside professional assistance as may be required.
The proposal also reflects a major increase in membership dues for the League of Minnesota
Municipalities and the Metropolitan League of Municipalities.
The City Charter makes provision for a contingency appropriation not to exceed 3% of the total
General Fund appropriation for a respective year. The contingency is analogous to a private business
reserve for unanticipated needs of significance. It is proposed that a contingency of $35,000, or
approximately 1.2% of the proposed General Fund budget, be established.

Municipalities will still be responsible to furnish personnel and equipment for the conduct of all
elections with the exception that the State of Minnesota will reimburse municipalities for their costs
incurred for election judges required for election day registration. Election activities are under the
direct supervision of the City Clerk.

Proposal for 1974
The 1974 budget account anticipates a regular election and a primary election during 1974.

OFFICE OF THE ASSESSOR
Function
The Assessor has the responsibility to establish values for all real and personal property within
the City for the purposes of taxation.
Proposal for 1974
During 1974 it is proposed to continue the program of updating and equalizing property valuations

order to accomplish the objective it is necessary to continue the part-time appraisal assistance and
clerical assistance as authorized in earlier years.

FINANCE
Function
The Department pa tment of Finance provides accounting and :internal auditing services for all financial
activities of the City and the Fire Department Relief Association. A system of fund accounting is
maintained. Each fund is a complete set of records within itself. In addition to the General Fund,
which is the operating fund of the City, the Finance Department presently accounts for the financial
activities of Special Revenue Funds, Bond Funds, Debt Service Funds, Special Assessment Funds,
municipal off -sale liquor stores, and the Public Utilities Division.
Proposal for 1974
During recent years the work load in the Finance office has been increasin g to a point of
severely taxing the production capabilities of the staff. Rather than add personnel to fully meet the
work load during those years, it was determined to try to squeeze by and to work towards the develop-
ment of automatic data processing techniques. In 1972 the City Council authorized Brooklyn Center's
participation in the Local Government Information Systems LOGIS) program of developing an integrated
management information system through automatic data processing of various routine municipal functions.
The 1972 and 1973 budgets authorized expenditures totaling $33,000 as Brooklyn Center's share of LOGIS
charges for system development during that period. The 1974 budget proposal comprehends an appropriation
i of $18,945 for the General Fund share of 1974 LOGIS charges. For the first time, a major portion of this
proposed data processing appropriation will be devoted to operating costs rather than to system development
costs. The State Tax Commissioner has issued an opinion to the effect that a portion of the LOGIS costs
constitute a "special levy" which is exempt from the state tax levy limitations.

FIRE PROTECTION
ROT CTION
Function
i
The Brooklyn Center Fire Department is charged with. the responsibility of providing fire protection
and conducting fire prevention activities.
Proposal for 1974
The 1974 proposal recommends no change in the manpower g p complement other than that approved
by the City Council in mid 1973 relative to the restructuring of the Fire Marshall's and Fire Inspector's
positions. It is recommended that station duty compensation be increased from $15 per watch to $16
per watch. Station duty compensation is paid to firemen who sleep in at the station to provide night-
time, weekend, and holiday coverage.
Costs related to this account in 1974, in addition to the operating appropriations, include the
recommended sum of $38,815 for 1974 actuarial funding of the Fire Relief Association pension fund.
$14 of the recommended sum represents the estimated 1974 increased cost of expanding pension
benefits to the maximum allowed by the special law enacted for Brooklyn Center.

STREET MAINTENANCE AND GARAGE
Function
The Street Division of the Public Works Department is charged with the responsibility of maintaining
all City streets, snow and ice removal and street and traffic sign installation and maintenance. The Equip
ment Maintenance Shop is under the immediate supervision of the Street Superintendent and is responsible
for the maintenance and repair of all City machinery and automotive equipment.
Proposal for 1974
The 1974 proposal comprehends a continuation of the level and type of activity performed during 1972
and 1973. The geographic consolidation of street maintenance and park maintenance personnel continues
to be increasingly effective in supplementing one another's efforts during those periods of high activity which
do not always occur concurrently. Additional effectiveness has been achieved since late spring when the
Street Superintendent was tentatively assigned direct supervisory responsibility over the park maintenance
personnel, as well as the street maintenance personnel. It is expected that further efforts in this regard will
produce additional operating efficiencies during 1974.
The Capital Outlay portion of the account reflects recommendations to purchase major equipment items
necessary to continue the basic level of services associated with this function.

STREET LIGHTING
Function
This appropriation is intended to provide funds for City -wide street lighting and power for traffic
signals throughout the community.
Proqram for 1974
The 1974 proposal reflects a significant increase due to three factors: an increase of nearly $3,000
in power costs for traffic signal revisions and new installations; an anticipated increase in street lighting
fixtures attributable to new development and remedying certain safety deficiencies; and an anticipated rate
increase from Northern States Power Company.

PARKS AND RECREATION
Function
The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the development and implementation of a
program of organized recreational activities within Brooklyn Center and for developing and maintaining
all municipal park property.
Proposal for 1974
The 1974 Park and Recreation Department proposal enerall reflects a continuation in the funding
p p p generally
level for recreation programs and a continuation of the level of maintenance efforts in the park physical
plant.
Refined reporting and accounting methods have been employed since 1972 to assure that budgeted
programs are conducted within budgetary limitations and that unbudgeted programs generate sufficient
revenue to be financially self- sustaining.
No additional permanent personnel are recommended for this function. However, it is proposed
that 35% of the Street Superintendent's salary be allogated to this account for supervisory duties performed.
The proposal comprehends some major increases in Capital Outlay for recreation related items and
for park related items
Costs related to this account in 1974, in addition to the operating appropriation, include an amount
of $27,100 for the redemption of park bonds issued in previous years, as well as a portion of the redemption
of 1969 building bond obligations to the extent the proceeds were used for park and recreation purposes.

HOW TO FIGURE THE CITY PROPERTY TAX
ON A $25,000 BROOKLYN CENTER HOME
1974
1. The Market Value is $25,000.
2. The Assessed Value is $8,200, computed as follows:
a. The first $12,000 of Market Value is homesteaded and assessed at 25%
of value; $12,000 times 25% equals $3,000.00
b. The balance of the Market Value, $1.3,000
($25,000 less $12,000) is assessed at 40% of value;
$13,000 times 40% equals 5,200.00
c. Total Assessed Value $8,200.00
t 3. Multiply the Assessed Value times the Mills levied for purposes
other than Debt Retirement;
$8,200 times 12.571 mills equals 103.08
4. Subtract 45% Tax Forgiveness;
103.08 times 45% equals 46.39
56.69
5. Add the result obtained by multiplying the Assessed Value times
the Mills levied for Debt Retirement;
t $8,200 times 3.139 Mills equals 25.74
TOTAL CITY TAX ON A $25,000 HOME 82.43
(NOTE: The City Property Tax on a $25,000 home in 1973 was $87.68, or $5.25 more than 1974).
