OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
JUNE 9, 1992
C BARN - EARLE BROWN HERITAGE CENTER
Chair Kelly opened the meeting at 7:08 p.m. in the C Barn at the
Earle Brown Heritage Center.
Present at roll call were: Chair Kelly, members Boyd, Kanatz,
Peppin, Escher, Christensen, and Boran. Also present were City
Manager Splinter and Finance Director Holmlund.
Members discussed the final draft of the report on the Financial
Task Force prioritization process recommendations. A draft copy
was sent to members, and extensive discussion occurred surrounding
the recommendation for the communications coordinator part-time
position. After this discussion, it was decided to modify the
draft to indicate no recommendation for the position in 1992,
because of the "delicate" condition of 1992 Budget, and in 1993 it
would be acceptable if the equivalent cost of the position were cut
from other expenditures.
Members requested staff to add to the draft information on how much
of the priorities were already implemented in 1992, and what other
suggestions were implemented in 1992 prior to the Financial Task
Force prioritization process recommendations.
Financial Task Force agreed the prioritization process report would
contain the following: Memorandum covering recommendations be the
first section of the report, two summary tables would be the second
section of the report, the third section of the report would be the
yellow pages listing of priority items and recommendations of
department heads, City Manager, Financial Task Force, and an open
column for Council recommendations. The other tables which
contained detailed information from employees and department heads
(the blue and green pages) will be contained in an appendix
section.
The Financial Task Force agreed the initial report in the
prioritization process should indicate the number of employees
affected by recommendations in the prioritization process.
Chair Kelly asked if all members concurred in the final document
with the suggested changes discussed earlier this evening, and all
members indicated support for the report as amended. The meeting
adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
