CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER MINNESOTA OTA ANNUAL BUDGET 1968
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ADOPTED BUDGET October 31, 1967
Honorable Mayor and City Councilman
City of Brooklyn Center
7100 Osseo Road
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the annual budget for the City of Brooklyn Center as adopted for the year 1968 in its
final form. The budget was adopted at a Public Hearing by the Council on October 4, 1967 and consistent
with the Attorney General's Opinion on the treatment of replacement revenue for loss of personal property
tax on exempt personal property.- was amended to its present form by the Council on October 30, 1967.
Based upon the most recent information from o the County Auditor's Office relative to Brooklyn Centers adjusted
assessed valuation figures, the total proposed levy of 1968 general taxes is equivalent to a mill rate of 51.67
mills. It should be noted that the 1968 mill rate will be substantially the same as the mill rate for the
preceding two years.
rt Based on the adopted budget, the City_ tax levy on an $18, 000 home in Brooklyn Center will amount to $63.24
which is approximately 32% less than the 1967 City tax levy on an $18,000 home. This reduction is attributable
to the property tax relief feature of the 1967 Sales Tax Law and the fact that the proposed 1968 mill rate is
substantially the same as in 1967.
It is important to emphasize that this 1968 property tax reduction pertains only to the City levy which constitutes
about 17% of the total property tax paid by Brooklyn Center property owners. The remaining 83% of a homeowner's
tax bill is attributable to the school district tax levy and to the Hennepin County tax levy. Thus, in order for the
tax payer to realize the full effect of the reduction in the City tax levy, it would be necessary that Hennepin
t County and the respective school districts maintain substantially the same mill rates as in 1967.

LETTER OF TRANSiviaT` AL PROPOSED BUDGST
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmen September 1, 1967
7100 Osseo Road
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
o
Submitted herewith is the proposed budget for City General Fun d operations for the ensuing Y ear of 1968.
This budget proposal has been greatly influenced by various legislative enactments of the 1967 Legislature.
Examples consist of the Tax Reform and Relief Act (sales tax) which provides for direct per capita distribu-
tion of funds from State sales tax proceeds to municipalities, as well as providing a 35% tax relief element.
The same Act, however, provides for certain personai property tax exemptions with a municipal reimburse-
ment formula which does not furnish total reimbursement for exempted personal property in Brooklyn Center
during 1968. Since the 35% relief feature of the Act does not apply to levies for bonded indebtedness, we
propose to finance capital equipment acquisition out of current revenues rather than by issuing Certificates
of Indebtedness as in the past. Another enactment consisted of changing the mandatory public employees'
retirement provisions in a manner which drastically increases the cost to municipalities. As a consequence
of Brooklyn Center's recent change from a village to a city, a special law sponsored by Brooklyn Center
created a Policemen's Pension Fund which also rather drastically increases Brooklyn Center's financial
obligation. A similarly sponsored special law pertaining to Fireman's pensions has a similar effect on
1968 City finances.
As asses valuation base of $1,541,904
The City sessor has established an increase in the asses new e
valuation 91.7 re- valuation 8.3 which is reduced by our estimate of exempt personal property
valuation in the amount of $751,973, yielding a net taxable increase in assessed valuation of $789,931,
or 5.07% over 1967. At the present and proposed 51.62 mill rate, the increased taxable valuation will
yield $40,784 more than 1966 property tax revenues. Estimated 1968 non property tax revenues, includ-
ing the sales tax per capita distribution and exempted personal property tax reimbursement, are expected
to exceed 1966 non property tax revenues by $98,870. Therefore, the sum of combined revenues for
1968 are estimated to exceed 1966 revenues by $139,654.
Proposed 1968 expenditures for General Fund purposes exceed 1967 General Fund appropriations by $51,868.
The General Fund increase is primarily due to annual salary increases and the proposed addition of a police
patrolman and a park employee totaling approximately $51,000. Required 1968 expenditures for fixed levies
exceed 1967 appropriations by $87,786. The fixed levy increase is primarily due to changed PERA laws,
creation of a City Policemen's pension fund, and a substantial increase in Firemen's pension benefits.
9
10
Program expansion has generally been limited to providing recreation services at some new parks and
increasing the level of recreation service at some existing parks. Due to park land additions, one new
park maintenance employee is proposed. Requirements of the Police Department have prompted the
recommendation to add a new patrolman during 1968. It was determined in prior years to defer the replace
ment of a 1951 motor grader for the Street Division until 1968; it is proposed to provide funds for the pur-
chase in this budget.
It should be noted that this budget proposal reflects an across -the -board salary increase of 4 this
percentage does not constitute a recommendation, but was selected merely for the purpose of develop
ing workable budget figures. The proposed Mayor Council contingency account contains funds for
estimated individual salary adjustments. Recommendations relative to salaries will be submitted to
the Council in the near future.
This `proposed budget comprehends a mill rate of 51.62 mills, identical to the two previous years.
Making appropriate adjustments for indebtedness and applying the 35% tax relief feature, the 1968
City tax on an $18,000 homesteaded property would amount to $63.26, or $29.66 less than the 1967
city tax. In 'addition, the 1967 State mill levy amounting to $30.85 on an $18,000 home has been
eliminated beginning in 1968.
Appreciation is extended to staff members who contributed to the publishing of this budget proposal
and particular recognition is extended to Finance Director Paul Holmlund and Richard Cihoski for
for their contributions.

EXPLANATION OF REVENUE ESTIMATES
I• GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES;
a. Current Ad Valorem Levy (Real and Personal Property Tax)
The following information was supplied by the City Assessor for use in the preparation of the 1968 budget;
ASSESSED VALUATION
1966 1967 Increase
Real Property (January 1) $14,290,018 $15,242,320 952,302
Personal Property (May 1) 1,301,952 1,854.489 552,537
1 $15,591,970 $17,096,809 $1,504,839
In aggregate, the 1967 assessed valuation increase of $1,504,839 reflected an increase of 9.65% over the
1966 valuation. The increase of $952,302 in assessed value of real property was 91.7% attributable to new
construction within the City and 8.3% attributable to revaluation of land and dwellings.
The 1967 Tax Reform and Relief Act provides that the holder of personal property is given the option of
choosing. to exempt either this inventory or equipment from the personal property tax. It was anticipated
at the time of the submission of the Proposed 1968 Budget that the City would receive the replacement for
the loss of tax revenue from exempted personal property as a shared tax revenue fromthe State of Minnesota.
However, subsequent to the submission of the proposed budget, the Attorney General of the State of
Minnesota issued an opinion to the effect that the replacement may not be considered as a shared tax
revenue, but must be treated as a property tax. The determination of Real and Personal Property valuation
to be taxed based on the Attorney General's opinion is as .follows:
January 1, 1967 Real Property Assessed Valuation $15,242,320
May 1 1966 x
Y E Personal Property Valuation 306,
May 1, 1967 Non Exempt Personal Property Valuation 1,267,866
Total Real and Personal Property Valuation $16,816,894
Therefore, in reality, the increase in taxable assessed valuation amounted to $1,224,924, or a 7.86%
increase over 1966.
In computing the anticipated revenue from the property tax therefore, a value of $16,817 was employed
as the yield from one mill of tax. The adopted budget anticipates a total tax rate of 51.67 mills, with an
anticipated revenue yield of $868, 807 from property taxes.

SUMMARY OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUES AND MILL RATES
Year Revenue Mill Rate Year Revenue Mill Rate
1962 $470,746 48.54 1966 $690,346 51.62
1963 561,236 50.12 1967 804,850 51.62
1964 593,281 .50.51 Proposed 1968 868,807 51.67
1965 650,053 49.80
b. Penalties and Interest on Tax Bills
The amount of revenue to be derived from this source in any given year is dependent upon the general t
state of the economy, and thus difficult to estimate. However, analysis of revenues received in pre-
vious years prompts the current estimate of $7,000.
II. BUSINESS LICENSES AND PERMITS
Revenue from the issuance of permits and licenses by the Cityto business establishments. Included in
this category are: Liquor and malt licenses, cigarette licenses, garbage licenses, taxi cab licenses,
heating licenses, well drillers' licenses, food handling licenses, service station licenses, motor vehicle
dealers' licenses, bowling alley licenses and miscellaneous business licenses and permits. The 1967
Legislature provided that the State Department of Agriculture will pre -empt the licensing of itinerant food
vehicles (milk trucks, etc.) in the estimated amount of $500 per year. The 8 -1 -67 revised estimate of
revenue from business licenses and permits in the amount of $8,000 reflects receipts from licenses which
normally would have been received in December of 1966 but were not because of a delay in the issuance of
licenses due to the Village to City change -over. Because of these factors, the anticipated revenue from
this source has been reduced to $5,000 for 1968.
III. NON BUSINESS LICENSES AND PERMITS
Revenue from the issuance of permits and licenses by the City for the purpose other than to operate a
business. Included in this category are: dog licenses, building permits, heating permits, sewage
water permits, plumbing permits, well permits, electrical permits, certificates of occupancy and
miscellaneous non business licenses and permits. In August of 1966, an estimate of $43,000 was
projected for 1967 revenues. A re- evaluation indicates that an optomistic projection of development
in the Earle Brown farm will not be realized during 1967 and the revenue from non business licenses
and permits has been re- estimated at $30,000 for 1967. For 1968, an estimated revenue of $30,000
has been anticipated from this source.
IV. STREET USE
1 At the present time, this category includes only bicycle licenses. The $1, 500 estimate is based upon
an analysis of past experience. Licenses are issued on a bi- ennial basis and licenses will be issued
in 1968 for the years 1968 and 1969, this being the reason for the increase over 1967 estimated revenue.
V. COURT FINES
This category comprehends those revenues received from fines imposed for traffic and ordinance violations.
Estimated revenue from the source is a net $22, 000, after allowing for deduction of transaction charges
set by the Hennepin County Court System.
VI. INTEREST
Revenues in this category reflect the anticipated earnings of the General Fund from temporary investments.
The estimate for 1968 is $3,000.
VII. RE NT
Items included in this category include rental fees assessed for use of various public facilities, rental
charges to Public Utilities for office space, and equipment rental charges made to special assessment
projects and the Public Utilities Division. Given the fluctuation experienced in the installation of
improvements with municipal equipment, a precise estimate of revenue is difficult. Based upon past
experience, however, it has been determined that revenues vu( 11 be $20, 000.
VIII. SHARED TAXES
a. Cigarette Tax (see Liquor Tax)
b. Liquor Tax
One fourth of the state sales tax on cigarettes is credited to a special fund for apportionment to counties,
cities, villages, boroughs, and urban towns. Thirty percent of state liquor taxes is credited to and
apportioned from a similar fund to the same governmental units. These taxes are apportioned by the State
Auditor on February 15 and August 15. The taxes are distributed to the municipalities on a per capita
basis. The League of Minnesota Municipalities estimates the per capita distribution for 1968 will be $1.92
for cigarettes and $1.49 for liquor. Our anticipated revenue therefore would be:
19
Cigarette Tax $57,800; Liquor Tax $44,900.
c. M ortaa c a Registry Tax
This is a tax of 15 cents per $100 of the face amount of all real property debt secured by a mortgage.
It is collected by the county treasurer. One third of the amount collected is returned to the municipality
in which the mortgaged property is located. Historical analysis indicates that the revenues will be $5, 500.
d. Gasoline Tax (State Aid Maintenance)
The highway user taxes consist of three separate levies; the State gasoline tax, the motor vehicle
registration fees, and the mobile home registration fees. These taxes are divided upon the following.
basis. 62.4 percent to the State, 28.6 percent to counties, and 9 percent to municipalities with a 1
population in excess of 5,000. The money is for use in the construction and maintenance of the county-
state -aid road and the municipal -state -aid street systems. Of the municipalities' share, 50% is dis-
tributed on the basis of "money needs" related to street construction, and 50% on a per capita basis.
The distribution to Brooklyn Center in .1968 is expected to be approximately $19,000 for street maintenance.
e. Excise Tax
The 1967 Tax Reform and Relief Act designates one fourth of the amount raised by the State general excise
taxes for distribution to townships, cities, villages, boroughs, counties, and school districts, but not
less than $37 million annually.,, The State Auditor is required to estimate the amount available for distri-
bution in 1968 on or before September lst, and municipalities received notice of their share of the distri-
bution on September 20th. The distribution will be on a per capita basis. We will receive a distribution
of $5.22 per capita or $157,164.
20
r
IX. GENERAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES
a. Plattinq Fees
The Platting Ordinance requires a fee of $25 plus $1 per lot to be paid upon the submission of a proposed
plat for consideration by City officials. The current estimate of $300 is based on past revenue.
b. Zoninq and Special Use Charqes
The Zoning Ordinance establishes certain fees to be paid b applicants for rezoning requests, variances
and special use permits to help defray costs of mailing, etc. The present estimate of $800 is based
on past revenues.
c. Assessment Searches, Map Sales, Etc.
During the course of the year, the City is called upon 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. The current estimate
of $1,700 is based upon an appraisal of preceding years' experience.

Revenues in this category are derived from a percentage charge made against improvement projects
designed or administered by the Engineering Division, as well as street improvements financed through
the City's share of State Aid Funds. The present estimate of $60,000 is based upon requests for improve-
ments now being considered and various projects planned for 1968.
e. Police Towing 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 $900 of the total towing budget
of $1,000 will be recovered from the vehicle owners. Recovery of towing and stcr age charges for unclaimed
vehicles is accomplished through a police auction of the vehicles. Income from police auctions is shown
under other income.
X RECREATION FEES
The revenue estimate of $19,725 is detailed in the budget request submitted by the Department of Parks
and Recreation.
XI. REFUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS
a. Civil Defense
The provisions of the Federal Civil Defense Program provide for reimbursement to local units of
government of fifty percent of the costs for approved equipment and personnel. The present estimate
of $5,037 constitutes approximately one -half of the proposed Civil Defense expenditures for 1968.
b. Public Utilities 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. The revenue of $8;136 reflects
a charge to the Public Utilities Fund for certain administrative and supervisory m sts. A detailed break-
down of the method of cost allocation employed is set forth at the back of the Revenue section.
c. Other
Throughout the year, the City receives a variety of small reimbursements for miscellaneous items and
services. Based upon a review of prior years' experience, $1,000 in revenue may be anticipated for 1968.
XII. TRANSFERS -IN
a. Liquor Earnings Transfer
It is proposed that $110,000 be transferred to the General Fund from the anticipated earnings of the
Municipal Liquor Stores. In 1966, the total net earnings of the Liquor Stores was $113,887. A com-
parison of the first six months of 1967 operations with that of the first six months of 1966 reveals that
1967 earnings will be approximately what was anticipated in the 1967 budget.
b. Sale of Certificates of Indebtedness
During the past few years, it has been the practice of the Council to finance the purchase of major items
of equipment through the sale of Certificates of Indebtedness. Since the 1967 Tax Reform and Relief Act
does not allow the taxpayer tax relief on bonded indebtedness, it seems prudent to finance the purchase
of equipment in the 1968 budget on a "pay as you go" basis and no sale of Certificates of Indebtedness
are contemplated for 1968.
c. Unappropriated Surplus
The past practice of funding a small portion of annual operating expenses from surpluses accrued over
past years is again recommended for 1968. An analysis of the allocation of General Fund and Liquor
Fund surpluses which are available for use in the 1968 budget is set forth in the rear of the Revenue
zz
section. A total of 50, 539 is recommended for appropriation from this source for 1968.
XIII. OTHER INCOMM
Included in this category are revenues received from a variety of sources, but which individually yield
very little. Because of refinements in the revenue estimates in the last two years, items previously
credited to this account are now shown elsewhere in the revenue summary. Therefore, the estimate
for other income for 1968 has been reduced from $5,000 to $2,000.

EXPLANATION OF EXPENDITURES NOT SUBJECT TO LIMITATION:
Debt Retirement $74,378.
The following levies which have previously been authorized by the City Council comprise
this expenditure:
State Loan- $1,545. Amount required for 1968 interest and principal payments for a
1949 loan from the State of Minnesota for the initial construction of the City building
on Lyndale Avenue. This levy is subject to adjustment by the County Auditor's Office
depending upon the cash balance due to collection of prior years' delinquent taxes.
Library Bond Redemption $17,200. Amount required for 1968 interest and principal
payments on Library Bonds authorized by the electorate in 1964 to finance construction
of the City library.
i
Park Bond Redemption $32,000. Amount required for 1968 interest and principal payments
on Park Improvement Bonds authorized by the electorate in 1957.
Certificates of Indebtedness $23,,633. Amount required for 1968 interest and principal
payments on certificates issued in 1965, 1966, and 1967 for purchase of Fire, Police and
Street Equipment.
Poor Relief $7,000.
The method used to determine the amount required to maintain the Poor Fund 1968 operation is
as follows: The fund had cash and investments at 12 -31 -66 in the amount of $7,893. Added to
this amount was the 1966 tax levy collectible in 1967 of $10,000. From this amount was
subtracted estimated 1967 expenditures of $12,000. The result of these computations shows
a projected surplus carryover of $5,893 for 1968 operations. In addition to the carryover,
it is recommended that $7,000 be levied in 1967 so that a total of $12,893 be available for
1968 operations.
Retirement Fund PERA and Social Securitv 76,567.
Minnesota statutes pertaining to public employees' retirement provisions were amended
drastically during the last session of the Legislature. Each of the changes increased the
cost to the City for providing employee retirement benefits. Among the changes were:
removal of the $6,000 salary ceiling upon which the City contribution is based, converting to
a current status of remitting the City's contribution to the Public Employees' Retirement
Association, and allowing present and requiring future City employees to coordinate PERA
benefits with Federal Social Security at January 1, 1968.
The amount levied for 1968 represents 125% of the estimated contribution required for the period
from July 1, 1967 to June 30, 1968 and 100% of the estimated contribution required for the
period from July 1, 1966 to December 31, 1968. The additional 25% levied for the period of
7 -1 -67 to 6 -30 -68 is to provide 25% of the contribution required for the period of July 1,
1966 to June 30, 1967. The remaining 75% make -up will be levied in the next three years.
N
3
Firemen's Relief Association $36,706. (See Appendix II)
The City PP Council in 1967 approved an Act of the State Legislature whereby the bylaws of the
Firemen's Relief Association of the City of Brooklyn Center may be changed to provide an
increase in retirement benefits. The Act allows the increase of the present base servi^e
pension of $40 per month to a monthly pension of not more than $120 per month, nor less than
$80 per.month. Since at the time the proposed budget was prepared, no changes have as yet
been made to the bylaws, a provision is made in the budget assuming an $80 per month pension
based upon a statement of intent by the City Council.
Policemen's Pension Fund $42,169
During 1967 the City of Brooklyn Center, as a city of the second class, established a City
pension fund to provide for police pensions. Prior to 1967, when Brooklyn Center was a
Village, police pensions were provided through the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund
(a special fund of the Public Employees Retirement Association) and the annual appropriation
was, included in the PERA levy.
The 1968 appropriation is based upon an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 1967 of tha
proposed plan.
County Park System 0
The 1966 session of the State Legislature eliminated the 15<,- per capita levy for the County Park
System and substituted a 4/10 mill levy to be levied by the County.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Function
Under the "Council Manager Plan" of government as established by the City Charter, the Council
exercises the legislative power of the City and determines all matters. of: policy. The Council consists of
the Mayor and four Councilmen.
Proposal for 1968
The proposed 1968 budget reflects salaries for the Mayor and 4 Councilmen as contrasted to the
Mayor and 3 Trustees under previous Village budgets.
The proposal for Professional and Consultants Fees reflects a $500 increase over the 1967
appropriation. The increase is due to the consolidation of the CIRB appropriation for professional and
consultant fees with the Mayor and Council's appropriation. The balance of the Professional and
Consultant Fees appropriation provides for special planning studies, consulting services to advisory
boards and commissions, and such other outside .professional assistance as may be required. The
1967 appropriation for membership dues to the Metropolitan Transit Authority has been deleted because
the body has been dissolved.

of City affairs. Activities include, but are not limited to, preparation of agendas, minutes and other items
of information desired by the City Council, planning, central purchasing, personnel administration, processing,
of inquiries and complaints received _from the public and overall management of City operations.
Proposal for 1968
The 1968 Administrative Office recommendations do not propose any additions to the staff. It will
be noted that one of the Administrative Assistants is reported as City Clerk in this budget. The insurance
proposal has been increased by $2, 000 due to the transfer of Park Department insurance obligations to the
Administrative Office budget. The recommendation for travel, conferences, schools, and training is
increased by $2, 000 as a reflection of our increasing activities in this area.
The Capital Outlay recommendation comprehends acquiring another dictating machine which will
increase the effectiveness of clerical efforts. In addition, it is proposed that two 1960 Studebaker Larks
and one 1957 Plymouth police car be traded in for 1968 police cars and that three used 1967 police cars be
transferred to the Administrative Offices for the transportation pool.
Costs related to the 1968 Administrative Office account, in addition to the operating appropriation,
include a total of $1,985 for the redemption of Certificates of Indebtedness issued in previous years for the
acquisition of a 1966 Ford station wagon and a 1967 Chevrolet station wagon which is being leased to Civil
Defense. Civil Defense reimbursement from State Civil Defense to the extent of $690 per year is reflected
as revenue in this budget.

POLICE PROTECTION
Function
The primary function of the Police Department is to enforce applicable federal, state and municipal
laws within the City of Brooklyn Center. In addition,--the Department is charged with the prevention of
criminality, the recovery of property, regulation of non criminal conduct and the provision of non-
regulatory community service.
Proposal for 1968
r
The Police Department request for 1968 provides for the addition of two patrolmen and one detective,
the detective to serve as a juvenile officer. It is recommended that only one additional patrolman be
authorized for 1968 and that the detective- juvenile officer proposal be further evaluated during the 1968
calendar year.
Due to the high turnover rate of clerical personnel with the resultant inefficiency in record keeping
and radio dispatching, the proposal recommends an up- grading of the clerk- dispatcher positions and the
police steno position. The proposal calls for revising the clerk- dispatcher classification range from 19A
to 19C up to 19B o 22C in five 6-month increments. Similarly, it is proposed to revise the police steno-
grapher classification range from 22A to 22C up to 22A to 24C in four 6 -month increments.
The proposal includes a $2.,6650 recommendation for an educational- incentive program which is
contingent upon Council approval.
It is recommended that the position of Deputy Chief be created in the Administrative Code to provide
for proper command authority during the absence of the Chief. It is proposed that one of the Lieutenants will
be appointed to this position, retaining the rant: of Lieutenant, at a salary of 20% above that of top grade
patrolman.
The 1968 training recommendation will provide a total in excess of 600 hours of specialized courses
r for police personnel. In addition, it is anticipated that each officer will receive a minimum of 50 hours of
in- service instruction on a variety of current topics.
r
71
r
Pronosal for 1968 (continued)
During the development of the 1967 budget, it was determined to defer the replacement of two
police vehicles (investigator and supervisory vehicles) until 1968. Both vehicles will have in excess
of 100,000 miles before the end of 1967, and it is therefore recommended that they be replaced along
with the three squad cars.
Costs related to this account in 1968, in addition to the operating appropriation, include a total
of $1,377 for the redemption of Certificates of Indebtedness issued in previous years for the acquisition
of police equipment and an estimated $42,169 for 1968 funding of the new Police pension.

PARKS AND RECREATION
Function
The Parks a P P
'and Recreation Department is res onsible for` the development and implementation of a
program of organized recreational activities within Brooklyn Center and for developing and maintaining all
public park properties. The Parks and Recreation budget provides funds 'for, these objectives and also
provides funds for the acquisition of park lands. 4
Proposal for 1`968
The recommennded proposal for 1968 will provide funds to continue the park maintenance program
and to expand, the recreation programs.. Since additional park land has been,acquired and developed in
__recent years,, it is necessary to provide additional maintenance labor and equipment as comprehended in
the 1968 proposal. .One. additional park employee and numerous ,items of new and replacement equipment
are therefore proposed, .:Recreation programs are being substantially expanded by approximately $10,000
to provide new.. programs -at new parks and increased programs at some older parks.
Numerous park development and improvement proposals have been requested, primarily for
illustrative purposes, with only $9,550 being recommended to be funded from 1968 levies. Unless
citizens are prepared to. immediately accept large tax increases to finance the requested proposals, it is
suggested that consideration be given to financing such improvements through bonding, thereby spread-
ing the costs over a longer time, and hopefully, over a larger tax base.
Costs related to this account in 1968, in addition to the operating appropriation, include a total
of $33,153 for the redemption of Park bonds and Certificates of Indebtedness issued in previous years for
the acquisition of land and equipment.
