the City costs of administering the bonds and the gap.

DATE: November 13, 2003
SUBJECT: 2003 Auto Theft Prevention Grant Resolution
Enclosed please find the 2003 Resolution for the Auto Theft Prevention

The Auto Theft Prevention Grant assists in providing additional funds that allow the Police

Br fu
Brooklyn Center relating to auto theft issues.
• The City of Brooklyn Center applied for and was awarded $126,320 for an 18 month P eriod. The
funding was designed to reduce motor vehicle theft and its consequences in the State of
Minnesota by funding programs that aid in the reduction of auto thefts, increase education and
awareness of the public, respond to automobile theft incidents, and prosecute offenders.

• MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Curt Boganey, ACM Director of Operatigo-!5
DATE: November 19, 2003
SUBJECT: Deer Management Plan Amendment
Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Council consider an amendment to the archery hunt guidelines
for Public Property. The amendment to paragraph 13, would authorize deer harvesting by
bow hunting from noon to 7:00 p.m., when harvesting occurs in January and February.
Background:
On November 10,2003 the City Council; approved on second reading an ordinance
amendment that will allow bow hunting for deer management purposes within the city
limits. Given the required 30 -day publishing requirement the effective date of this
ordinance is December 20 2003. Because of school vacations we have decided to forgo
deer hunting for the hunting season ending December 31
• To proceed with the implementation of the deer management plan we are proposing
g P P p g
A deer harvesting program using bow hunters under special permit from the DNR. This
special permit will allow the harvesting of deer after the hunting season ends. Under this
permit we will be allowed to provide bait and the deer will belong to the DNR rather than
the hunters.
We have elected to use the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base (MBRB) for this hunt due
to their large supply of available hunters. In our consultations with MBRB we have
concurred with their opinion that the best time to schedule deer harvesting during this
period will be from noon until 7:00 p.m. This change in time is recommended because
during the colder periods of the winter deer are more likely to be active and feeding
during this time of day. Kevin Benner, Dave Petersen and I reviewed this proposed
change in hunting period with the MBRB representative and we agree that it is
reasonable. We believe we will have sufficient controls in place to minimize any
potential risk associated with shooting during this period of the day. The normal notices
will be provided, the park will be posted and closed and staff will be assigned to patrol.
The location of the hunt will be controlled as well.
Summary:
I recommend that the City Council consider adopting an amendment to the Deer
. Management Plan allowing deer harvesting after the normal hunting season between the
• hours of noon and 7:00 p.m. This will allow the City to proceed with implementation of
its deer management plan this winter. The later hunting hours proposed would improve
the likely hood of a successful hunt.

DATE: November 20, 2003
SUBJECT: Technology Fund
0 o
gY
As we have discussed in the course of budget preparations, we have been unable to adequately fund
technology acquisition and replacement due to budgetary constraints from the State of Minnesota.
The attached resolution would create a Technology Fund to facilitate planning for technology
replacement. While funding for this fund will come primarily from grants, when funds are identified
from the General Fund or other sources that can be transferred into this fund, it will assist in
developing resources for many future needs. One of the immediate issues relates to the fiber optics
project. I would anticipate transferring unspent 2003 General Fund monies on December 8 to
• provide funding to this newly created fund. Those funds could be used towards fiber optics projects.
Currently the Capital Projects Fund identifies radio replacement as one of the activities that would be
funded out of the Capital Projects Fund. The full extent of that project has not been identified due to
uncertainties regarding dispatch as well as the future requirements for interoperability in the
Metropolitan Area. Other potential projects to be placed in the Technology Fund would relate to the
replacement of information technology systems, especially larger items such as servers in the
beginning. As we have an opportunity to develop and plan with respect to this fund, it could also
potentially be operated in a fashion similar to the Central Garage where information technology
items are purchased through the Technology Fund and each department and activity is charged for
the informations stems that the are using on a at replacement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manage \p�,
FROM: Scott Bechthold, Chief of Police k4
DATE: November 20, 2003
SUBJECT: Proposed 12 -911, 12 -913 Ordinance Reporting System
The addition of the 12 -913 Ordinance (effective. October 4, 2003) allows the City of Brooklyn Center two
options for holding the apartment complexes /owners accountable for their properties and their tenants.
The question arose as to how the information will be tracked and disseminated from the police department
to the City of Brooklyn Center. The following is the breakdown of the proposed reporting procedures:
• The 12 -911 Ordinances for which individual tenants are responsible for their behavior is documented by a
monthly report of the CAD notes. These are generated on the first of every month (unless that falls on a
weekend, then the following Monday). Each call for service is read and private information is omitted
from the report. Based on those calls for service, we ascertain whether or not there has been a violation of
the 12 -911 ordinance. If a violation has occurred we send the manager /owner a first letter notifying them
of the violation. Occasionally, we will need to send a second notice of violation. This occurs when the
same apartment has violated the 12-911 ordinance twice within a 90 -day period. This information is
tracked monthly on the "Conduct On Licensed Premises Tracking Sheet" (See Attachment A). The
Lieutenants and NLO's retain copies of the tracking sheet for future reference.
The new 12 -913 Ordinance would be tracked in a similar manner. However the time span is greater (12
months) for this ordinance. From the date that the 12 -913 became effective the police department will fill
out a monthly "Calls For Service" (See Attachment B) tracking sheet that is giving to the apartment
owners /managers. This is a hand written form done by the NLO's and only reflects calls for service that
are listed in the 12 -913 ordinance.
Additionally, each complex is tracked on an overall monthly basis that reflects overall calls for service.
Those complexes that exceed the guideline of the .65 and over calls for service will then be required to
follow the procedure based on the criteria set forth in the ordinance.
A sample (See Attachment C) is enclosed with this memo of a 12 -month period listing all of the calls that
would have been in violation of 12 -913 for calls for service that occurred between October 3, 2002
• through October 3, 2003. From October 4, 2003, the total calls for service will be tracked on a monthly
basis in this manner (See Attachment D).
We would provide you with copies of the monthly tracking sheets for your review by the tenth of each
month.

Re: Use of Sho Agnobile reciation
The Showmobile was to have been removed from the depreciation schedule several years
ago. Somehow depreciation was reinstated for the showmobile which increased the total
amount of funds that have been accumulated. In any event, we have not planned to
replace the showmobile for a number of years. A new showmobile would cost upwards of
$100,000. Funding for that replacement was not seen as appropriate when compared to
other recreation and park funding priorities.
A proposal was reviewed by the Park & Recreation Commission to use the $58,000 or so
in accumulated depreciation to fund 2 years of after school programming to replace State
grant funding that was terminated. The Commission has recommended that the funds be
used for that purpose.
Depreciation for the showmobile is funded in the Central Garage Fund. A charge has
been made against parks as part of their central garage charges to fund replacement of
trucks and other major pieces of equipment. Thus, these funds are in the Central Garage
Fund. If the City Council was amenable to the Commission's recommendation, we would
prepare a resolution for Council consideration transferring the accumulated depreciation
funds from the Central Garage Fund to the Grant Fund accounts to be used for after
school programming in 2004 & 2005.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 18, 2003
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Jim Glasoe. Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation
As you lazow, the portable "Showmobile" stage has been part of the Central Garage Fund
equipment list since the fund's inception. Each year, accumulated depreciation payments have
been made from the CARS general fund budget for its eventual replacement.
As part of the 2002 budget development process. it was determined the - 'shownobile" would not
be replaced. Also at that time, it was decided that the depreciation payments that had been
accumulated to date would be spread amongst the other pieces of CARS equipment to help in
their replacement. It has recently been discovered that this was not done. As a result, slighdy
more than $58,000 worth of accumulated depreciation remains in the Central Garage Fund for
replacement of the "Show-nobile."
After this discovery, staff began the process of dctcc the best way to use these funds.
Options considered included, using the funds as described previously, allocating the money to the
Capital Improvements Fund, or using the money for program purposes. After careful
consideration, and after discussing the issue at length with you, a decision was made to propose
using the funds for after school programming. These dollars would be used to replace funds
eliminated as a result of the State of Minnesota's unallotment of after school grant fiends.
As a result of this discussion, I asked Program Supervisor Sue LaCrosse to develop a proposal to
use these funds to expand after school programs in 2004 and 2005. Ms. LaCrosse and I
presented the proposal (copy attached) to the Parks and Recreation Commission at their October
22, 2003 meeting.
After some questions and considerable discussion. the Commission unanimously passed a
motion to recommend to the City Council that consideration be given to reallocating the $58.000
in accumulated depreciation funding for the "sho to after school programming efforts
in 2004 and 2005.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions regarding the recommendation.. or
would like additional information.
AFTER - SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROPOSAL
Background Information
The Brooklyn Center After - School Enrichment Collaborative was together from 1997 -2003.
Made up of representatives from three school district community education departments, six
schools, the police department, Brookdale library. the recreation department, Camp Fire USA.
and the YMCA, they were committed to offering a wide range of program offerings for youth
before and after school. Programs were designed to keep children safe, promote development of
life -long skills and exploration of new interests, strengthen academic shills, provide
opportunities to develop positive relationships Nvitlh caring adults and provide time for recreation.
Since the unallotment of State After - School funds in early 2003, program coordinators have
worked very hard to keep their programs going. The status of these programs is as follows:
A. North Vien AM Hoops was funded through the 2003 school year by Osseo Community
Education. Funding for 2003 -04 is available for them through a 21 Century grant
awarded to the Osseo School District and Brooklyn Park Recreation.
B. The Conzrnninhv C orner received money from Hennepin County Public Health and the
Northwest Henriepin Family Services Collaborative Literacy Wort. Group for the after -
School Grades "R" Us program.
C. Anoka - Hennepin Community Education Department was able to secure deseg money
to continue offering after- school programs at Evergreen Park Elententar;� School.
D. Carntp Fire USA has continued to run programs at the Community Corner with funds
secured from other sources.
E. The Summer Fun Bus was provided during the summer of 2003 with deseg money and
was coordinated by the principal of Earle Brown Elementary School instead of the police
department.
F. Brookdale Librart closed for remodeling. They were conducting limited site visits to the
schools. They stopped when the grant money was eliminated. At this time, they do not
have any funds to offer library programs to after school groups when the building re-
opens. `
G. The Northwest YMCA was able to continue the Y's Start program during the winter and
spring of 2003. However, the program was scaled back a lot and was not limited to
Brooklyn Center youth. In September of 2003 the police chief offered the recreation
department the opportunity to apply for a small grant with the Minnesota Department of
Public Safetv. The grant is available for programs that help to reduce juvenile crime.
Using the funds from this grant, the City of Brooklyn Center will contract with the
Northwest YMCA to conduct three programs for junior high/middle school youth. These
programs will be available only to Brooklyn Center youth at Brooklyn Center High
School, North View Junior High, and Sandberg Middle School.
H. The program that has been affected the most by the unallotment is Fun Squad. Fun
Squad is an after - school program run twice a week at Earle Brown, Fair Oaks. Garden
City and Palmer Lake Elementary Schools. (Northport Elementary chose not to join the
Brooklyn Center Collaborative.) Fun Squad is a well - rounded program providing
students opportunities in teclviology, homework help, physical activity, cultural activity,
the arts and computers. It is a coordinated effort between the recreation department.
school district community education departments and the schools. Since the unallotme.nt
of grant fiends, Fun Squad was eliminated at Earle Brown because there were no funds to
pay for a coordinator. Fun Squad at Fair Oaks, Garden City and Palmer Lake continues
because Osseo Community Education is able to pay the wages for the coordinators.
However, the program has been reduced in scope. Snacks were eliminated, bus
transportation Home was eliminated and fees increased substantially. Currently, only
those children whose parents can afford to pay are able to participate.
At Fair Oaks, there were 138 students rcLIstered for fall 2002 Fun Squad classes. 156
registered for winter 2003 classes and 43 for the spring 2003 classes. At Garden Citv,
there were 100 students registered for fall 2002 Fun Squad classes, 149 registered for
winter 2003 classes and 32 for spring 2003 classes. The drop in spring registrations
demonstrates a direct correlation to the State's unallotment of the grant The drop in
registration was not as dramatic for Palmer Lake last year. However. their demog-raphics
have changed considerably this year and the need has grown tremendously.
Communith- Resources
• Relationships with schools
Strong relationships have developed between after school program staff and school personnel.
They «elcome us assist '
. m identifyrn and referring students, and help increase our ability to
reach families. There is a strong commitment to youth as is demonstrated by the number of
certified teachers who are willing to stay after school to teach classes and mentor students. We
have access to school facilities including computer labs, gymnasiums, cafeterias. classrooms, and
equipment. Community education departments do not charge for using these facilities.
• Relationship with Brookdale Library
The library is a unique connection beta -een the public library and after school sites. The library
will open late spring or early summer in 2004.
Pro6ram Proposal
Fun Squad at Earle Brown, Fair Oaks. Garden Cite and Palmer Lake Elementary Schools
Brookdale Library
The library is interested in providing new programs beginninc fall 2004. During the last several
years.. exciting- '.hands -on programs have enabled hundreds of children in the after school
programs to become familiar with the layout of the library, comfortable and skilled searching the
computer catalog and using word processing. locatinc materials on shelves. reservinc and
renewing materials, as well as, learning to access databases and the Internet. This would be
especially important when the library re -opens to acclimate students to the new facility.

Re: Centerbrook Golf Course Loan Repayment Schedule
Attached is a memorandum from Mr. Glasoe outlining the impacts of difficult weather
and an unanticipated major expense in removing gas storage tanks. Based on those
impacts, the golf course has not generated the profits necessary to make the 2003 loan
repayment as budgeted. Last year we used accumulated fund balance to augment the
operating profits to make the loan payment. Further depletion of the limited fund balance
in the Golf Fund would put the enterprise at risk both for cash flow issues and the ability
to respond to capital needs or emergencies.
The Council several years ago established the loan repayment schedule attached to Mr.
Glasoe's memorandum. I would suggest accepting Mr. Glasoe's recommendation to
amend the schedule by adding one year and reducing the 2003 and 2004 payment
amounts. The entire principal would still be repaid under this modification, while
allowing the golf course to rebuild its reserves. The golf course has been able to fund its
operations and equipment purchases through its own revenues. This loan repayment goes
into the Capital Project Fund for general building, equipment, and park capital
expenditures.
If this or some other revised repayment plan would be acceptable, it would be placed on
the December 8 th agenda for review and action.

Re: Centerbrook Financial Review
By consensus, most Rolf course operators would agree that 2001, 2002 and 200 ?
have not been good years for ITOinnesota golf courses. .Adverse weather
conditions, the proliferation of additional courses. along with a struggling
economy have left many courses literally fighting for their survival.
In 2001, a late start to the oolfin- season. a wet spring and summer, and a larg r
than normal number of 90+ degree days added up to a golfing season NN a
poorer than expected financial performance. In 2002, we encountered sin
obstacles, only much worse.
When all was totaled, the summer /fall of 2002 was the fourth wettest on record.
It was not only the amount of rain. but also the timing of the rainfall that effected
play. Many of the summer weekends were lost totally, or in part, due to poor
weather. Weekends are historically our strongest times for play.
In addition to the rain, we, experienced more 90+ degree days than normal. In
wet or hot conditions rounds played are very minimal. Untold revenues rc lost
as a result of this rainJheat mixture.
In addition to the lost rounds, the effects of 9/11/2001 and its impact on the
economy are still being felt. When they do golf, players are not spending as rnuLl_
as they have in the p ast on merchandise and concessions. Revenues in both of
J
these areas were down significant]\
For 2002, Centerbrook ended the v ear with a net income of just over $4,500. This
necessitated our scheduled loan repayment ($50,000) be largely funded from
reserves.

As a result of our 2002 experience. our financial plan for 2003 included minimal
capital, or improvement expenditures. Reductions were also made in staffing
hours, and merchandise and equipment purchases. In addition, we did not
approve discretionary expenditures in 2003 until positive revenue streams were
verified.
For all our good intentions, financial success has remained allusive in 2003. Once
again, "Mother Nature" has not provided us with normal weather conditions.
After a slightly early course opening. (,� /larch 19. typically last week in March)
rain dominated the weather scene. In April, we had rain on 11 of the 30 days. In
May, we had at least a trace of rain on 13 of the 31 days.
In June, weather extremes seem to haN become the new norm. Rain days were
less often, but rain amounts much larger. )AThen it did rain, it rained in bunches.
One late June rain event caused the complete closure of the course for a four -day
period, and limited play for another week. High water in the golf course ponds,
which also serve as storm water ponds. took a full two weeks to recede. In
addition to the impact on play and loss of revenues created by the flooding. over
$2,500 was spent to repair the course after the water receded.
When it got hot, it got very hot and staffed that way. For August and September
alone, we had 10 days where the high temperature was above 90 degrees.
Conversely, when it got cool, it got really cool. For the majority of September
and October, temperatures stayed well below normal.
Also unexpected for 2003, was the $11.340 spent to remove under-round fuel
tanks and replace them with above `-round tanks. These expenditures were not
anticipated in the budget.
Despite these obstacles, our staffing. purchases and related expenditure reductions
have allowed the financial performance of the golf course to remain only
marginally behind projections. The net p rofit for Centerbrook as of 10/31/03 is
just under $30,000.
However, with two more months of expenses and little or no revenues anticipated
to offset them, we expect the golf course to end the year with a net profit of
approximately $20,000. As you know, this amount falls short of the scheduled
debt service payment of $50,00.
As a result, I am proposing that we amend the loan repayment schedule (revised
schedule attached) to allow for reduced debt payments for 2003, 2004 and 2005.
This revised payment plan should allow the golf course to build up cash reserves
and provide funds for future capital improvements. The revised schedule would
extend the term of the loan by one year.
For 2004, our financial plan projects reductions in both staffirn-, purchases and in
our anticipated rounds played. Each year between 30.000 and 35,000 rounds of
Golf are played at Centerbrook. In addition, about 200 people will take lessons.
As a result of recent experience, rounds projections for the 2004 budget have been
reduced to 30,000. Projections for 2002 and 2003 were 31,500 and 31.000
respectively.
1, along with the rest of our Centerbrook staff, recognize that the golf course's
financial performance has been less than satisfactory over the past few years.
However, we are confident that. Nvith the budget adjustments we have made,
along with normal weather, the results in 2004 will be markedly improved.
I hope the above information provides - , 70u with adequate detail regarding
Centerbrook's recent financial history and expectations for 2004. Please let me
know if you have questions, or would like additional information.

Re: PRISM
In order to prepare an item for Council consideration at the December 8"' City Council
meeting and finalize budget documentation, I would like to clarify the direction of
options to be prepared for formal consideration by the City Council.
Options:
1. Direct the use of unspent monies from the 2003 City Council budget:
a. $
b. into grant fund account
i. results in disbursement in 2004 through the grant funds account
2. Direct the use of unspent monies from the 2003 City Council budget:
a. $
b. direct payment in 2003
i. results in payment in 2003 for 2004 services
1. advantage of less bookkeeping and more direct action.
The City Council budget for 2003 should be underspent in the conference & school
category in the area of $5,000 to $6,000. It also appears that audit costs may be under
budget as well.

Re: City Council Calendar for 2004
Attached is a draft calendar for 2004. The calendar does not yet reflect the Council's goal
to schedule 4 meetings in the community. On Monday night, I would like to continue that
discussion to receive Council direction on hog', to proceed.
Some of the options:
1. Participate as a City Council in some other organization's meeting
a. Learn about what that organization is doing in the community
b. Answer questions regarding the City of Brooklyn Center
c. Short overview of City Council goals for 2004
2. Schedule a City Council Community meeting
a. One in each school district in a school
i. Special meeting
ii. Work session
iii. Listening post type of meeting
3. Schedule a City Council Community meeting
a. 2 -4 times in a place like
i. Brookdale
ii. Community Center
1. Cohen Room
2. lobby
3. concession area
b. no agenda
i. answer questions infonnally with residents
4. Schedule regular City Council meeting
a. One in each school district
i. Lose televising
ii. Would inconvenience persons with items on agenda
One of the timing issues in scheduling will be the general election in 2004. This would
eliminate August through November as a time period calculated to maximize
participation.

A joint meeting with Brooklyn Park has been proposed by Mayor Kragness. We are
waiting until the budget season has subsided to look into specific possible dates.
Another issue is commission recognition and the a rival meeting with commission chairs.
The Draft Calendar has the annual meeting of the City Council and commission chairs.
Nothing has been scheduled for commission recognition. Direction on how the City
Council wants to proceed on that issue is also needed.
One City Council facilitated retreat is scheduled for August 7 Funds are available in the
draft 2004 budget should the Council schedule a 2 nd retreat in 2004. This also keeps
funding levels sufficient without an addition in 2005 for a winter new council retreat and
a summer goal setting retreat.
A work session primarily focused on development and Tax Increment Financing is
proposed for March 1'
The Draft calendar continues the work session scheduling following each regular City
Council meeting.
The questions for the City Council are:
1. Generally are dates acceptable?
2. Does the Council want to consider starting the Study Session at 6:15 p.m.
since work session are scheduled after each regular meeting?
3. What does the City Council want to do relative to Commission recognition?
4. Does the Council want to keep the annual meeting with Commission chairs
(March 15 th )?
5. How does the Council want to proceed on developing specifics for community
outreach meetings?
