City of Brooklyn Center
A Millennium Community
May 22, 2006
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Brooklyn Center
Transmitted herewith is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of
Brooklyn Center for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Management of the City of Brooklyn Center assumes full responsibility for the
completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report based on the
current system of internal control.
Minnesota Statutes and City Charter Section 7.12 require that the financial statements
of the City of Brooklyn Center be audited annually by the State Auditor or a certified
public accountant selected by the City Council. These financial statements have been
audited by HLB Tautges Redpath, Ltd. Their report is included in the financial section
of this report. In addition, HLB Tautges Redpath is required to issue an opinion on the
City’s management and accounting for grant funds from the federal government. This
“Single Audit” opinion, when included, is designed to meet the monitoring needs of
federal grantor agencies. That report was not required in 2005 as the City received less
than $ 500,000 in total federal grants.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent
auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the
basic financial statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis complements this
letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the City of Brooklyn Center
The City of Brooklyn Center was incorporated in 1911 and is located in northern
Hennepin County. The City has operated under the council-manager form of
government since the adoption of the City Charter in 1966. The governing body is
comprised of the Mayor and four Council Members elected at large. All members serve
four-year terms with two of the Council Members standing for election during each
national election year cycle. The Mayor and Council Members hire a City Manager who
runs the daily operations of the City.
The City of Brooklyn Center provides a full range of municipal services to its citizens.
These include police and fire protection services, zoning enforcement, municipal

planning, parks and recreation activities, construction and maintenance of streets,
provision of water, wastewater collection and treatment, stormwater collection and
treatment, and street lighting. Community and economic development are facilitated
through a Housing and Redevelopment Authority and an Economic Development
Authority. The City also has internal departments providing human resources,
engineering, financial management and information technology support to these various
functions. The City operates a conference and meeting facility at the Earle Brown
Heritage Center, two municipal liquor stores, and Centerbrook, a 9 hole executive golf
course.
Financial planning and control for the City of Brooklyn Center is based on the Annual
Budget and the five-year Capital Improvement Program. Under Minnesota Statutes, a
preliminary property tax levy must be adopted no later than September 15 of each year
for the ensuing year’s collection. This establishes a maximum levy that may
subsequently be lowered but not raised. Effective establishment of this levy requires a
preliminary budget be prepared. The City Manager prepares such a budget each
summer and presents it to the City Council in August, prior to the consideration of the
preliminary tax levy. In addition, the City Council reviews the recommended rates and
charges for utility funds and other operations on an annual basis as part of the budget
process. Citizens receive a notice of taxes proposed for their individual properties in
November based on the preliminary levies established by all taxing districts. Following
the receipt of this notice citizens are invited to public hearings known as Truth in
Taxation hearings in each jurisdiction. The City’s hearing includes information about
the budget, the property tax levy and the priorities of the City Council for the coming
year as made evident by the budget allocations. Public comment is heard and
considered at this hearing. The final property tax levy is adopted at a subsequent
meeting. This forms the basis for the budget preparation and presentation framework.
In addition, a Capital Improvement Program is reviewed and revised during the budget
process each year. This includes projects for which the City must issue debt and/or
assess portions of the cost to adjacent or benefited property owners. Because there
are limited funds available each year and the City does not wish to issue excessive
amounts of debt, these projects must be reviewed and reprioritized as the Capital
Improvement Program is developed each year.
Economic Condition and Outlook
The City of Brooklyn Center is a northern suburb of the Twin Cities metropolitan area,
adjacent to the City of Minneapolis and located 10 miles from its downtown area. The
City is wholly within Hennepin County and covers an area of about 8.5 square miles.
The Mississippi River forms the City’s eastern boundary.
The City experienced its most rapid growth from 1950 to 1970 when the City’s
population grew from 4,300 to its peak of 35,173. The 2000 Census data for the City
was 29,172, a slight increase from the 1990 Census data of 28,887. The number of
housing units has remained stable at 11,430 units; there were 11,704 housing units in
1990. As in most mature, first-ring suburbs there is a slight trend toward conversion of
single family homes to rental properties.
The total estimated market value of real and personal property within the City increased
7.51 % in 2005 over 2004, 7.55% in 2004 over 2003, and 9.2% in 2003 over 2002.
Residential values posted the largest gains going up over 10% in total.
Commercial/industrial values are stable for the 2004 to 2005 period. Demand for
starter homes has continued to drive up values of residential property in the City.
Major transportation routes in and through the City, including Interstates 94 and 694,
and State Highways 100 and 252, have provided a continued impetus for development
of a strong commercial tax base in the City along and adjacent to these corridors.
Commercial/industrial properties made 35% of the City’s taxable net tax capacity in
2005, holding steady with the 35% in 2004. This moderates the recent shift of tax
burden from commercial/industrial to residential with the phasing out of the limited
market value law. The largest commercial property in the City is Brookdale Mall, a
1,093,931 square-foot regional shopping center. Brookdale was redeemed from
foreclosure in 2005 but its future remains tentative.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
Major Events of 2005 and Local Economy
Brooklyn Center is a mature, developed suburb that is working to revitalize itself. With
its affordable housing, excellent schools, beautiful parks, and convenient transportation
access it has the potential to continue to be a vibrant community for many years to
come. The revitalization of Brooklyn Center is proceeding on three tracks: replacement
and renewal of the commercial areas of the City; replacement and enhancement of its
aging streets, utilities, and parks; and the reinvigoration of neighborhoods.
Redevelopment continued to be the key to commercial and industrial tax base growth.
In 2005 the City acquired the Hmong-American Shopping Center at the intersection of
th
Highway 100 and 57 Avenue. Tenants in the Center were relocated and the buildings
were demolished. Environmental cleanup of various substances was completed.
Standards were established for redevelopment of the property into a mixed use
commercial and residential project. Proposals will be taken for the project in 2006 with
construction expected to be completed in 2007 or 2008. The City’s “Opportunity Site”
Task Force prepared a long term vision to guide redevelopment in that area. The
Luther Group acquired an old Mazda dealership at Brooklyn Boulevard and Interstate
494. Private revitalization of this property will enhance the revitalization efforts made
th
by the City and Hennepin County at 69 Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard.
As part of a planned replacement of the aging infrastructure, the City continued the
program for street and utility improvements by reconstructing the Lions Park South
neighborhood streets in 2005. While streets are replaced, aging water, sanitary and
storm sewer infrastructure is also repaired or replaced. These improvements are
funded by general obligation improvement bonds supported with special assessments
against benefited properties, an operating transfer from the general fund, and funds
from the capital projects funds and utility enterprise funds. About one twenty-fifth of
the City’s streets and utilities are reconstructed each year. It is expected that this will
be a perpetual process, since at the end of twenty-five years it will be necessary to
begin anew with the streets that were done first. Another benefit of these
neighborhood projects has been the increased interest by residents in the maintenance
and cleanup of their individual properties through paint, landscaping and structural
repairs.
The hospitality industry contributes a significant amount to Brooklyn Center’s economy.
Lodging tax provided over $ 350,000 for 2005 fiscal year operations. Plans for a hotel
to adjacent to the City-owned Earle Brown Heritage Center facility are under
consideration. The project has been delayed by litigation over the provision of public
assistance to the hotel developer. Subsequent to the 2005 fiscal year-end, this litigation
was resolved and the City has been cleared by the courts to proceed with the plan.
Infrastructure and Transportation
Shingle Creek Parkway, a major intra-city corridor for commercial and industrial traffic,
was reconstructed from John Martin Drive to Interstate 94 during 2005. In addition,
Summit Drive was reconstructed as part of the same project. These two streets form
some of the core access to the “Opportunity Site” and should make the area more
viable and attractive. In addition a deteriorated bridge deck was repaired on the
Freeway Boulevard Bridge as part of the 2005 Capital Projects program.
Park infrastructure was enhanced with the repaving of the Palmer Lake Trail system.
This 3.2 mile circuit around Palmer Lake is maintained by both Brooklyn Center and
Brooklyn Park within each respective City. The Brooklyn Center repaving completes a
project begun along the Shingle Creek Trail in 2003 using federal grant funds.
Development of utility rate models has improved the City’s ability to generate cash flow
and schedule improvements to the water and sewer systems. Separate funds for street
lighting and stormwater drainage have also helped control and prioritize infrastructure
improvements and operations in these areas.
Cash Management
The City of Brooklyn Center receives interest on all funds deposited by the City in its
bank and investment accounts. During 2005 daily funds were moved to a “sweep”
account paying interest on overnight deposits. The rate on this daily sweep rose during
2005 from just under 1.75% per year to a rate at the end of the year in excess of
3.00% per year. This result was negotiated between the city and the bank in exchange
for a slightly higher balance being maintained in the operating account. The proceeds
of this daily investment offset the banking fees charged by the City’s main bank, Wells
Fargo. Other funds were invested in various treasury securities and mortgage back
securities considered acceptable risks under the “prudent person” investment limitations
of Minnesota Statutes. Longer term investments will have a slightly higher rate of
interest compared to the overnight “sweep” rates of liquid cash. In addition, the City
invests in the 4M and 4MPlus funds sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities. 2005
saw a substantial increase in the rate of interest paid by the 4M and 4MPlus funds in
2005, from a low of 1.77% to a high of 3.92% at the end of the year. These accounts
pay a return higher than liquid cash but lower than treasuries and mortgage backed
securities. The advantage of using these funds is liquidity. Treasury management
requires a balance between the availability of cash and investment to obtain the highest
return without undue risk of public assets.
Acknowledgements
This report has been prepared following the guidelines recommended by the
Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. These
guidelines assure that presentation of information on the city’s financial condition
conforms substantially to the high standards of public financial reporting, including
generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Government Accounting
Standards Board.
The preparation and publication of this report would not have been possible without the
efficient work of the Finance staff, especially Clara Hilger, Assistant Finance Director.
We would like to acknowledge all staff that contributed their efforts to the Finance
operations in 2005. We would also like to thank the Mayor and City Council for their
support in promoting and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and
management of the City of Brooklyn Center.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Brooklyn Center, we offer readers of the City of Brooklyn Center’s financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with
additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 1
through 5 of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The
$ 103,189,266 of net assets includes cash and investments, streets, buildings, equipment, land and
other City assets. (See Page 13) Of this amount, $13,881,634 is classified as unrestricted net assets
which may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in
accordance with the City's fund designations and fiscal policies.
The City’s total net assets increased by $ 4,636,208 from 2004 to 2005.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $ 40,471,856. Of this total amount, $ 33,272,528, or 82% is designated or reserved
through legal restrictions and City Council authorization.
At the end of the current fiscal year the general fund balance of $ 7,294,951 included $ 11,080
reserved and $ 7,283,871 designated.
The City’s total outstanding debt decreased by $ 10,045,000 during the current fiscal year, from
$ 39,410,000 to $ 29,365,000.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements.
The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements,
2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements
. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net assets changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this
statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and
earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are
intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type
activities). The governmental activities of the City of Brooklyn Center include general government, public
safety, public works, community services, recreation and economic development. The business-type activities
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of the City include water and sewer, street lighting, liquor operations, golf course, convention center, storm
drainage and recycling/refuse.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 21 through 23 of this report.
Fund Financial statements
. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental funds
. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spend-
able resource, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it
is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statement. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the City's near term financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance
sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and change in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains nineteen individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances for the General fund, the Earle Brown TIF District special revenue fund, TIF District
No. 3 special revenue fund, the Special Assessment Bonds debt service fund and the Infrastructure Construction
capital projects fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 26 through 30 of this report.
Proprietary funds
. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to
report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the governmental-wide financial statements.
The City uses enterprise funds to account for its municipal liquor, golf course, Earle Brown Heritage Center,
water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, recycling/refuse, and street lighting operations. Internal service funds are
an accounting device to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City
uses internal service funds for its central garage, employee retirement, and compensated absences. Because all
of these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been
included within the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in
more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the municipal liquor,
golf course, Earle Brown Heritage Center, water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage operations, each of which
are considered to be major funds of the City. Conversely, all internal service funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal
service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 32 through 37 of this report.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Notes to the financial statements
. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government–wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the
financial statements can be found on pages 39 through 70 of this report.
Other information.
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information on budgetary compliance for its major funds. The City
adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue funds. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for major funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget. Required
supplementary information can be found on pages 71 through 79 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal
service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on budgetary
comparisons. Combining and individual fund statements can be found on pages 82 through 114 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indictor of a government's financial position. In the
case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $ 103,189,266 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net assets ($ 59,980,704 or 58 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets
(e.g. land, infrastructure, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets
that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net
of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other
sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

A portion of the of the City of Brooklyn Center’s net assets represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. These restrictions include debt payment from assessments collected,
grants received from outside sources and tax increments collected for qualified projects The remaining balance
of unrestricted net assets ($ 13,881,634) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Brooklyn Center is able to report positive balances in all three
categories of net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and
business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Current assets decreased significantly in the governmental activities due to the crossover of advance refunding
bonds in both the General Obligation and Tax Increment bonds. Similarly, other liabilities fell with the
payment on the refunded bonds. This carries through also to the restricted net assets decrease in the
governmental activities.
Capital assets in the Business-type activities increased due to the completion of three utility construction
projects and the commencement of construction on four new projects.
Governmental Activities
Government activities resulted in an increase of the City's net assets by $ 2,826,224, while the overall increase
totaled $ 4,636,208. Key elements of the increase are as follows:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
In the Governmental Activities, operating grants decreased due to fewer recreation and public safety grant
requests made. Total taxes increased by $ 536,113 because of increased property tax levy. Unrestricted
investment earnings produced an additional $ 780,885 in revenue due to an upward trend in interest rates,
additional cash on hand during the year from the $ 17,245,000 TIF Bond sale in 2004 and gains in market
valuation of investments. Expenses in public works increased due to a more active construction season in 2005.
Lower economic development expenses were due the capitalization of the costs associated with a major tax
increment project. Transfers out in 2005 were for construction projects contributed to the utility funds.

Charges for services in the business-type activities were up due to increases in rates in the utility funds and an
increase in activity in the Municipal Liquor and Earle Brown Heritage Center funds. There is a corresponding
increase in expenses in these same funds due to the increase in activity and costs to provide the services.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental Funds
. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s
financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as useful measure of a government’s
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$ 40,471,856. Approximately 13% of this amount $ 5,161,898 is reserved because it has already been
committed 1) to provide for debt service ($ 4,158,607), 2) for advances ($ 800,000), 3) for committed contracts
($192,211) and 4) for prepaid items ($ 11,080). The unreserved fund balance of $ 35,309,958 includes
designations for 1) general fund working capital ($ 7,283,871), 2) housing development and bonding covenants
($ 14,904,741), and 3) capital improvements ($ 4,324,156). The balance is undesignated and unreserved
($ 7,199,328).
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund balance
reached $ 7,294,951, all of which was either reserved or designated. As a measure of the general fund’s
liquidity, it may be useful to compare total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Total fund balance
represents 55% of total general fund expenditures.
The fund balance of the City’s general fund increased by $ 325,502 in 2005. This increase was primarily due to
higher than expected collections of current and delinquent property taxes.
The Earle Brown TIF District fund had a fund deficit of ($ 768,902) at the end of 2005. This compares to a
fund deficit of ($ 1,858,494) at the end of 2004. The net increase in fund balance during the current year in the
Earle Brown TIF District was $ 1,089,592. This increase was due to the collection of delinquent taxes and the
transfer of funds from the Tax Increment Financing Bonds fund. This transfer consisted of the funds remaining
after the 1991A and 1992A Tax Increment Bond issues had been paid.
The TIF District No. 3 fund had a total fund balance of $23,664,938 at the end of 2005. The net decrease in the
fund balance was $ 2,206,734. In 2004, the City issued $ 17,245,000 in tax increment bonds, the proceeds of
which will be spent in the TIF District No. 3 fund. The decrease of $2,206,734 represents the first of three
years expenditures for the acquisition and development of properties within the district. The remaining bond
proceeds are carried as of December 31, 2005, as designations of fund balance for statutory housing obligation
of $ 2,737,568 and redevelopment projects of $ 12,167,173, totaling $14,904,741.
The Special Assessment Bonds fund had a fund balance of $3,104,377 at the end of 2005, all of which was
reserved for debt service. The net decrease in fund balance for 2005 was $82,271, which was due to the use of
collections in previous years to pay current bond payments.
The fund balance of the Infrastructure Construction fund at the end of 2005 was a deficit of ($ 899,125). This
represents a decrease from 2004 of $ 1,376,820. This decrease is due to the City postponing the issuance of
improvement debt to fund projects substantially completed in 2005.
Proprietary funds
. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The unrestricted net assets in the respective major proprietary funds are the municipal liquor fund - $ 1,088,808,
golf course - $ (753,499), Earle Brown Heritage Center - $ 828,331, water utility - $ 2,160,742, sanitary sewer -
$ 2,418,890 and storm drainage - $ 1,335,470. The increases (decreases) in net assets for the major enterprise
funds were: municipal liquor $ 57,940, golf course $ (3,982), Earle Brown Heritage Center $ (300,442), water
utility $ 757,320, sanitary sewer $ 777,281, and storm drainage $ 689,987.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
During the year, there were no amendments to the General Fund budget appropriations. Actual revenues and
other financing sources exceeded the budget by $ 685,580, the majority of which was due to higher than
expected collections of current and delinquent property taxes and an increase in lodging tax collected. Actual
expenditures and other financing uses were higher than budgeted for the year. The City took the opportunity to
reallocate funds for infrastructure maintenance and transferred $ 555,000 to the capital projects to fund future
needs.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets
. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type activities as of
December 31, 2005, amounts to $ 77,178,531 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital
assets includes land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery and equipment. The total increase in the City’s
investment in capital assets was 8.8 percent (13.3 percent increase for governmental activities and a 4.5 percent
increase for business-type activities).
Major capital asset events during the year included the following:
Two reconstruction projects in existing neighborhoods were completed during the year, with a final cost
of $ 3,296,000.
Three reconstruction projects were begun and substantially completed during the 2005. These projects
account for $ 5,360,850 in construction in progress at the end of the year.
A major redevelopment project in Tax Increment District No. 3 was begun during the year. Land was
purchased and prepared for re-sale; construction in progress for this project as of the close of the year
had reached $ 4,589,000.

Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 5 on pages 56 through 57 of this report.
Long-term debt
. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had long-term bonded debt outstanding of
$ 29,365,000, all of which is backed by the full faith and credit of the government. Of the total outstanding,
$ 5,340,000 is general obligation bonds, $ 19,305,000 is tax increment bonds and $ 4,720,000 is improvement
bonds.
Additional long-term liabilities include $ 919,113 for compensated absences. This is the accumulated vacation
and sick leave available but not used by employees at the end of 2005.

The City’s total bonded debt decreased by $ 10,045 000 during the current fiscal year. The key factor in this
decrease was the repurchase of $4,910,000 of the G.O. Police and Fire Building Bonds of 1997B and
$2,370,000 of the G.O. Tax Increment Bonds of 1995A with proceeds from the refunding bonds issued in 2004.
No new bonds were issued by the City in 2005.
The City maintains an A1 rating from Moody's on all issues.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a Minnesota city may issue to 2% of total Estimated
Market Value. The current debt limitation for the City is $ 38,899,920. Only $ 5,045,000 of the City's
outstanding debt is counted within the statutory limitation amounting to about 13% of the total limit.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 7 on pages 58 through 60 of this
report.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
The unemployment rate for the City is 4.8 percent at the end of the current fiscal year, which is a
decrease from the rate of 5.7 percent a year ago. This compares to the State’s average unemployment
rate of 4.0 percent and the national average of 5.1 percent.
Redevelopment of the Central Business District is underway and will yield net growth in tax base and
stability in tax base through mixed use development goals.
Utility rates, which have increased greatly in the past two budget cycles, are expected to stabilize.
All of these factors were considered in the preparation of the City’s budget for the 2006 fiscal year.
During the year, unreserved fund balance in the general fund rose by $ 325,502. This amount will be added to
the fund balance level to stay within the City’s policy of maintaining at least 50 percent, and no more than 52%,
of the next year’s budgeted General Fund operations.
Water, sanitary sewer, recycling and refuse, and street light utility rates were increased for the 2005 budget
year. Residential water rates were increased by 5.9 percent, sanitary sewer and street light by 2.8 percent, and
recycling and refuse by 9.3 percent. These increases were necessary to ensure that the municipal utilities be
self-supporting through revenue, as required by the City charter. These rates are reviewed annually to ensure
compliance with the requirements of the charter.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are different because:

Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,
EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended December 31, 2005
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
et changes in fund balances - total governmental funds (Statement 4$(10,447,818)
N)
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement o
f
activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported
as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation
in the current period.4,737,637
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are no
t
reported as revenues in the funds.(849,896)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consume
s
the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, ha
s
any effect on net assets. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatmen
t
of long-term debt and related items.9,815,000
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of certain activities to
individual funds. This amount is net revenue attributable to governmental activities.(317,356)
Accrued interest reported in the statement of activities does not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, is not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.(111,343)
Change in net assets of governmental activities (Statement 2

Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the City) was formed and operates pursuant to applicable
Minnesota laws and statutes. The governing body consists of a mayor and four City Council members
elected at-large to serve four-year staggered terms.
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
City’s financial statements include all funds and departments of the City and the City’s component
units. The component units discussed below are included in the City’s reporting entity because of
the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City.
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
Blended component units, although legally separate, are in substance, part of the government’s
operations; data from these units are combined with data of the primary government.
These additional units are the Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) in and for the City of Brooklyn Center.
The governing board for each Authority is the City Council. The Council reviews and approves
the HRA tax levy and the City provides major community development financing for EDA and
HRA activities. Debts issued for EDA and HRA activities are City general obligations. Although
the EDA and HRA are legally separate from the City, they are reported as part of the City because
the governing boards are the same. Complete financial statements for the EDA and HRA may be
obtained at the City offices located at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
55430
JOINT VENTURES AND JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATIONS
The City has several agreements with other entities that provide reduced costs, better service, and
additional benefits to the participants. The programs in which the City participates are listed
below and amounts recorded within the current year’s financial statements are disclosed.
Local Government Information Systems Association (LOGIS)
This consortium of approximately 30 government entities provides computerized data processing
and support services to its members. LOGIS is legally separate; the City does not appoint a voting
majority of its board, and the Consortium is fiscally independent of the City. The total amount
recorded within the 2005 financial statements of the City is $543,601 for general services and
application upgrades provided. Costs were allocated to the various funds based on applications
and/or use of services. Complete financial statements for LOGIS may be obtained at the LOGIS
offices located at 5750 Duluth Street, Golden Valley, Minnesota 55422.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
LOGIS Insurance Group
This group provides cooperative purchasing of health and life insurance benefits for
approximately 45 governmental entities. The total of 2005 health and life insurance costs paid by
the City was $870,546. Complete financial statements may be obtained from Stanton Group
located at 3405 Annapolis Lane, Plymouth, Minnesota 55447.
OTHER
The Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association (the Association)
The Association is organized as a nonprofit organization, legally separate from the City, by its
members to provide pension and other benefits to members in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes. Its board of directors is elected by the membership of the Association and not by the
City Council. The Association issues its own set of financial statements. All funding is
conducted in accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, whereby state aids flow to the
Association, tax levies are determined by the Association and are only reviewed by the City. The
Association pays benefits directly to its members. The Association may certify tax levies to
Hennepin County directly if the City does not carry out this function. Because the Association is
fiscally independent of the City, the financial information of the Association has not been
included within the City’s financial statements. (See Note 15b for disclosures relating to the
pension plan operated by the Association.) The City’s portion of the costs of the Association’s
pension benefits is included in the General Fund under public safety. Complete financial
statements for the Association may be obtained at the City offices located at 6301 Shingle Creek
Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430.
B.GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary
government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been
removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely
to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or business-type activity are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that
are clearly identifiable with a specific function or business-type activity. 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 or business-type activity and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
function or business type activity. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues
are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statements.

C. 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 Proprietary 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 revenue as soon
as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund 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 when
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the government considers all revenues, except reimbursement
grants, to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Reimbursement grants are considered available if they are collected within one year 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, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, 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 and available only
when cash is received by the government.
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
TheEarle Brown TIF District Special Revenue Fund has the authority to collect tax
increments which are used for the historic restoration of the Earle Brown Farm and for debt
service payments of bonds which were issued for the same purpose.
The TIF District No. 3 Special Revenue Fund has the authority to collect tax increments
which are used for various redevelopment projects within the City and for debt service
payments of bonds which were issued for the same purpose.
TheSpecial Assessment Bonds Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of
resources for the payment of special assessment bonds. These bonds were sold to finance
certain public improvements such as residential streets and storm sewers or the provision of
services which are to be paid for wholly or in part from special assessments levied against
benefited property.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
TheInfrastructure Construction Capital Projects Fund was established to account for the
resources and expenditures required for the acquisition and construction of capital facilities or
improvements financed wholly or in part by special assessments levied against benefited
properties.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Municipal Liquor Fund accounts for the operations of the City’s municipal off-sale
liquor stores.
The Golf Course Fund accounts for operations of Centerbrook Golf Course, a 9 hole
executive golf course owned by the City.
The Earle Brown Heritage Center Fund accounts for the operation of a convention center.
The Earle Brown Heritage Center is a pioneer farmstead that has been historically preserved
and restored as a modern multipurpose facility. Its convention center can host conferences,
trade shows, and concerts seating 1,000 people in either banquet or theater style. The facility
hosts many meetings, parties, weddings and receptions.
The Water Utility Fund accounts for the pumping, treatment and distribution of water to
customers. Administration, wells, water storage, and distribution are included.
The Sanitary Sewer Fund accounts for the collection and pumping of sanitary sewage
through a system of sewer lines and lift stations. Sewage is treated by the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services whose fees represent about 77% of this fund’s expenses.
The Storm Drainage Fund accounts for the collection and treatment of surface runoff water
not requiring sanitary wastewater treatment. It incorporates not only the storm sewer
collection system, but also structures such as holding ponds and facilities to improve water
quality. Fees are based upon the quantity of water running off a property and vary with both
size and absorption characteristics of the parcel.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary-fund financial statements to
the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-
sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same
limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private -sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as
revenues, expenditures or expenses if they involved external organizations, such as buying goods
and services or payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other funds of
the City of Brooklyn Center. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
Additionally, the government reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Funds account for compensated absences, health care insurance benefits
and central garage services provided to other departments of the City on a cost
reimbursement basis.
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.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the municipal liquor, golf course, Earl Brown Heritage Center,
water utility, sanitary sewer, storm drainage and street light enterprise funds are charges to
customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales
and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for an allowable use, it is the
government’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are
needed.
D.BUDGETS
The City Charter grants the City Council full authority over the financial affairs of the City. The
City Manager is charged with the responsibility of preparing the estimates of the annual budget
and the enforcement of the provisions of the budget as specified in the City Charter. Upon
adoption of the annual budget resolution by the Council, it becomes the formal appropriation
budget for City operations. All budget adjustments must be approved by the Council. Budgets
for the General and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Budgeted expenditure
appropriations lapse at year end.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the appropriation, is not
employed by the City because it is, at present, not considered necessary to assure effective
budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash management.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
LEGAL COMPLIANCE BUDGETS
The City follows these procedures establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1.In August, the City Manager submits to the City Council proposed operating budgets for
the fiscal year commencing the following January. The operating budgets include
expenditures and the means of financing them.
2.The County mails individual property tax notices showing the taxes that would result
from the proposed budgets of all taxing units to each property owner in November.
3.Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
4.The budgets are legally enacted with the passage of resolutions by the City Council in the
month of December.
5.The City Council must authorize any transfer of budgeted amounts between departments
within the General Fund. A transfer of budgeted amounts within individual departments
must be authorized by the City Manager.
6.Supplemental appropriations during the year may only be made by the City Council.
These amounts must be financed by funds from a contingency reserve set up in the
General Fund or by additional revenues.
7.All budget amounts lapse at the end of the year to the extent they have not been
expended or re-encumbered by City Council directive in the following fiscal year.
8.Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the
year for all governmental funds with the exception of Debt Service Funds and Capital
Project Funds. Formal budgetary integration is not employed for Debt Service Funds
because effective budgetary control is alternatively achieved through general obligation
bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control for Capital Projects Funds is accomplished
through the use of project controls and project-length budgets.
9.Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all
governmental funds except for the project-length Capital Projects Funds and Debt
Service Funds.
10.Budgetary control is maintained at the department level for the General Fund and at the
fund level for all other governmental funds that adopt annual budgets.
11.Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended by the City Council.
Individual and aggregate amendments were not material in relation to the original
appropriations.
BUDGET VARIANCES
For the year ended December 31, 2005 expenditures exceeded appropriations in the Earle Brown
Tax Increment District fund by $ 7,496, the Tax Increment District No. 3 fund by $ $5,526,809,
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority fund by $ 5,243, the Tax Increment District No. 4
fund by $ 233,242, and the City Initiatives Grant fund by $ 89,005.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
E. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in certificates of
deposit, U.S. government securities and other securities authorized by State Statute. Investment
income is allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by
each fund. Investments are stated at fair value, based upon quoted market prices as of the balance
sheet date. Investment income is accrued at the balance sheet date.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of
an advance from another fund shown as interfund receivables in the advancing fund, and an
interfund payable in the fund with the deficit, until adequate resources are received. These
interfund balances are eliminated on the government-wide financial statements.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows the City considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All of the cash and
investments allocated to the proprietary funds have original maturities of 90 days or less.
Therefore the entire balance in the Proprietary Funds are considered cash equivalents.
F. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods
provided or services rendered. Short-term interfund loans are classified as “interfund
receivables/payables.” All short-term interfund receivables and payables at December 31, 2005
are planned to be eliminated in 2006. Long-term interfund loans are classified as “interfund loan
receivable/payable.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal
balances.”
Property taxes and special assessments have been reported net of estimated uncollectible accounts.
(See Note 1 G and I) Because utility bills are considered liens on property, no estimated
uncollectible amounts are established. Uncollectible amounts are not material for other
receivables and have not been reported.
G. PROPERTY TAX REVENUE RECOGNITION
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December
(levy/assessment date) of each year for collection in the following year. The County is
responsible for billing and collecting all property taxes for itself, the City, the local School District
and other taxing authorities. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as
receivables by the City at that date. Real property taxes are payable (by property owners) on May
15 and October 15 of each calendar year. Personal property taxes are payable by taxpayers on
February 28 and June 30 of each year. These taxes are collected by the County and remitted to
the City on or before July 7 and December 2 of the same year. Delinquent collections for
November and December are received the following January. The City has no ability to enforce
payment of property taxes by property owners. The County possesses this authority.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which the taxes were levied.
Uncollectible property taxes are not material and have not been reported.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue when it becomes both measurable and available to
finance expenditures of the current period. In practice, current and delinquent taxes and State
credits received by the City in July, December and January are recognized as revenue for the
current year. Taxes collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following
January) are classified as current taxes receivable. The portions of delinquent taxes not collected
by the City in January are classified as delinquent and fully offset by deferred revenue because
they are not available to finance current expenditures.
H. MARKET VALUE HOMESTEAD CREDIT
Property taxes on residential, agricultural or resort homestead property (as defined by State
Statutes) are partially reduced by market value homestead credit (MVHC). This credit is paid to
the City by the State in lieu of taxes levied against homestead property. The State remits this
credit through installments each year. The credit is recognized as revenue by the City at the time
of collection. The City has recorded this with property tax revenue.
I. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE RECOGNITION
Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of
special assessment improvement projects in accordance with State Statutes. These assessments
are collectible by the City over a term of years usually consistent with the term of the related bond
issue. Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County Auditor in
the same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to (and often do) prepay
assessments in full without interest or prepayment penalties.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon that
property until full payment is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City
Council or court action. If special assessments are allowed to go delinquent, the property is
subject to tax forfeit sale. Proceeds of sales from tax forfeit properties are allocated first to the
County’s costs of administering all tax forfeit properties. Pursuant to State Statutes, a property
shall be subject to a tax forfeit sale after three years unless it is homestead, agricultural or seasonal
recreational land in which event the property is subject to such sale after five years.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes special assessment revenue in the period that the assessment roll was adopted
by the City Council. Uncollectible special assessments are not material and have not been
reported.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue from special assessments is recognized by the City when it becomes measurable and
available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. In practice, current and delinquent
special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for the current year. Special
assessments that are collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following
January) are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All remaining delinquent, deferred
and special deferred assessments receivable in governmental funds are completely offset by
deferred revenues.
J. INVENTORIES
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
The primary government does not maintain material amounts of inventory within the
governmental funds. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when
purchased rather than when consumed.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Inventories in the proprietary funds are valued at cost, using the weighted average method in the
Municipal Liquor Fund and the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method in the other proprietary funds.
The costs of supplies are recorded as expenditures when purchased.
K. PREPAID ITEMS
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
L. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-
type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by
the government as assets with an initial, individual cost as shown below 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 estimated fair market value at the
date of donation.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. For the year ended December
31, 2005 no interest was capitalized in connection with construction in progress.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, is
depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
M. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay
benefits. All vacation pay is accrued in the internal service fund financial statements. A liability
for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a
result of employee resignations and retirements. In accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Government Accounting Standards No. 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences, liability is
recognized for that portion of accumulating sick leave benefits that is vested, or expected to vest,
as severance pay.
N. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of
net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are immaterial and are
expensed in the year of bond issuance.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported
as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as
debt service expenditures.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
O. FUND EQUITY
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use.
Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.
P. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues and expenditures or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made
from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the
reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
Interfund loans are reported as an interfund loan receivable or payable which offsets the
movement of cash between funds. All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
Q. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the
financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

BALANCES AND THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances – total governmental funds and
changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of
activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that “Governmental funds report capital
outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.” The details of
this $ 4,737,637 difference are as follows:
Another element of that reconciliation states that “Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do
not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.” The details of
this ($849,896) difference are as follows:

Another element of that reconciliation states that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds,
leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of
principal of the long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.”
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. The details of this $9,815,000
difference are as follows:

Interfund transfers:
Interfund transfers allow the City to allocate financial resources to the funds that receive benefit from
services provided by another fund or to provide additional capital and infrastructure funding. In addition,
interfund transfers are occasionally authorized to allow redistribution of resources between funds for the
most efficient use of funds. In 2005, transfers from the General Fund to nonmajor governmental funds
such as the Street Reconstruction and Technology Funds allowed excess fund General Fund balance to be
put to use in ways that would reduce the need for taxes or other sources of public funds in the nonmajor

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 13 CONTINGENCIES, SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND COMMITMENTS
A.ARBITRAGE REBATE
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires governmental entities to pay to the federal government
income earned on the proceeds from the issuance of debt in excess of interest costs, pending the
expenditure of the borrowed funds. This rebate of interest income (known as arbitrage) applies to
governmental debt issued after August 31, 1986.
The City issued greater than $5 million of bonds in the years 1991, 1992, 1997 and 2004 and
therefore is required to rebate excess investment income relating to these issues to the federal
government. The extent of the City’s liability for arbitrage rebates on the remaining bond issues
is not determinable at this time. However, in the opinion of management, any such liability would
be immaterial.
B. LITIGATION
The City is subject to certain legal claims in the normal course of business. Management does not
expect the resolution of these claims will have a material impact on the City’s financial condition
or results of operations.
C. FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS
Amounts received or receivable from federal and state agencies are subject to agency audit and
adjustment. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a
liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of funds which may be disallowed by the
agencies cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be
immaterial.
D. TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the
State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability
of the applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any instances of
noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial statements.
E. PROGRAM COMPLIANCE
Federal program activities are subject to financial and compliance regulation. To the extent that
any expenditures are disallowed or other compliance features are not met, a liability to the
respective grantor agency could result.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
F. GRANTS
The City approved grants in the amount of $500,000 to Boca Limited Partnership. The grant
requires repayment if certain requirements are not met. In turn, the City would be required to
return the funds to Hennepin County.
G. CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The City entered into two limited tax increment notes with developers whereby the City shall pay
the developers the lesser of the scheduled payment or available tax increment. Whether a
payment will occur and if so, the amount of the payment(s) are uncertain since all payments are
dependent on the City receiving tax increment from the developer’s project. As such, this liability
has not been recorded in the financial statements. A schedule of the notes outstanding at
December 31, 2005 is as follows:
H. TAX COURT APPEALS
Appeals on the valuation of properties in and around the Brookdale Center regional retail complex
have been filed in Tax Court for taxes payable in 2004 and 2005 by the owners of the affected
parcels. These appeals have not been ruled upon as of the date of these financial statements. Any
liability on the part of the City as a result of the Tax Court decision would come from the TIF
District No. 3 Fund. No liability or reservation of assets has yet been designated in that Fund.
Note 14 RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions and natural disasters.
Property and casualty insurance is provided through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
(LMCIT), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance
program for Minnesota cities: general liability, property, automobile, mobile property and marine, crime,
employee dishonesty, boiler, and open meeting law. The City pays an annual insurance premium to the
LMCIT for its insurance coverage. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed necessary
by the LMCIT. Currently, the LMCIT is self-sustaining through member premiums and reinsures through
commercial companies for claims in excess of various amounts. The City retains risk for the deductible
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
portions of the insurance policies. The amount of these deductibles is considered immaterial to the
financial statements.
Workers’ compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the
LMCIT. The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental
assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Workers’ Compensation
Reinsurance Association (WRCA) as required by law. For workers’ compensation, the City is not subject
to a deductible. The City’s workers’ compensation is retroactively rated. With this type of coverage, final
premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment, if any, is
considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of
insurance coverage for any of the past three years.
Note 15 POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
The City has provided post-employee health care benefits, as per the requirements of the City Council
resolution, for certain retirees and their dependents since 1986. Full time employees have the option of
retaining membership in the City’s health insurance plan for which the City will pay the single person
premium until such time as the retiree is eligible for Medicare coverage or at age 65, whichever is sooner.
If the retiree desires to continue family coverage, the additional cost for family coverage shall be paid by
the retiree to the City. There are two methods whereby an employee can qualify under this program. First,
the employee, on the date of his/her retirement, must meet eligibility requirements for a full retirement
annuity under PERA (Note 15A) without reduction of benefits because of age, disability, or any other
reason for reduction. In addition, the employee must have been employed full time by the City for the last
ten consecutive years prior to the effective date of retirement. Additionally, employees who are retiring
after twenty-five years of consecutive service with the City and are eligible to receive a pension from
PERA shall have the option of retaining membership in the City’s health insurance plan for which the
employee will pay the premium until such time as the retiree is eligible to receive a full-retirement annuity
under PERA or PEPFF. At that time, the City will pay the single-person premium until such time as the
retiree is eligible for Medicare coverage or at age 65, whichever is sooner. Employees participate in this
program on a voluntary basis.
As of December 31, 2005, 13 employees currently participate in this program. The cost of City paid health
care premiums for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $60,467 and $58,465, respectively.
Fund liabilities are paid on a pay-as-you-go basis with investment earnings of the Fund. The $2,093,307
recorded as a liability is not an actuarially determined amount, but the City’s best estimate of the future
liability.
Note 16 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE
A. STATEWIDE- PERA
PLAN DESCRIPTION
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by defined benefit plans
administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
administers the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire
Fund (PEPFF) which are cost-sharing, multiple-employer retirement plans. These plans are
established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statute, Chapters 353 and 356.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members
are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members must participate in
the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, firefighters and peace officers who qualify for membership
by statute are covered by the PEPFF.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors
upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by State Statute, and vest after three years of
credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for
any five successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and
apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but
are not receiving them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated
their public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information for PERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained by writing to PERA,
60 Empire Drive #200, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55103-2088 or by calling (651)296-7460 or 1-800-652-
9026.
FUNDING POLICY
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These
statutes are established and amended by the state legislature. The City makes annual contributions
to the pension plans equal to the amount required by state statutes. PERF Basic Plan members and
Coordinated Plan members are required to contribute 9.10% and 5.10%, respectively, of their
annual covered salary. PEPFF members are required to contribute 6.20% of their annual covered
salary. The City is required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll:
11.78% for Basic Plan PERF members, 5.53% for Coordinated Plan PERF members, and 9.30%
for PEPFF members. The City’s contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Fund for the
years ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $328,318, $223,220, and $309,237,
respectively. The City’s contributions to the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund for the years
ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $ 276,262, $257,234 and $255,923, respectively.
The City’s contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set
by state statute.

ASSOCIATION
PLAN DESCRIPTION
The City contributes to the Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association (the Association)
which is the administrator of a single employer retirement system to provide a retirement plan (the
Plan) to volunteer firefighters of the City who are members of the Association. The Association
issues a financial report which is available at City offices.
FUNDING POLICY AND ANNUAL PENSION COST
The City levies property taxes at the direction of and for the benefit of the Plan and passes through
state aids allocated to the Plan, all in accordance with enabling State statutes. The minimum tax
levy obligation is the financial contribution requirement for the year less anticipated state aids.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Total contributions to the plan in 2004 were $ 158,991, of which nothing was levied by the City
of Brooklyn Center and all $ 158,991 was from the State of Minnesota. The actuarially
determined contribution based on an actuarial valuation performed at January 1, 2004 was $
79,135, which represents funding for normal cost of $ 79,135 and administration of zero. Actual
contributions have continued at higher levels to allow for a transition to a defined contribution
plan in the future. These higher payments are irrevocable and do not affect the level of future City
contributions. They do not constitute an asset of the City.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds are used to account, on a cost reimbursement basis, for the
financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments
of the City.
Revenues and expenses in these funds are recognized on the accrual basis of
accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are
earned and become measurable. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting
period in which they are incurred.
The City’s Internal Service Funds included in this section are:
Public Employees Compensated Absences Fund - This fund accounts for payment
of unused vacation and sick leave time and the allocation of such costs to user
departments.
Public Employees Retirement Fund - This fund accounts for certain health care
insurance benefits for City employees who retire before age 65. Substantially all
of the City’s full-time police and fire employees and all other full-time employees
hired before July 1, 1989 may be eligible for those benefits from the time they
qualify for an unreduced PERA pension until they reach age 65 or become
eligible for Medicare. In the event that future costs would exceed earnings, other
funds would be charged for the costs associated with their employees.
Central Garage Fund - This fund was established to account for the acquisition
and maintenance of all City vehicles and rolling stock equipment. Vehicle and
equipment maintenance, repair, and replacement will be provided from rental
rates which the Central Garage charges City operating departments for use of the
equipment.
