INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED UPON THE AUDIT PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor and Members of the
City Council
City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the
City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, and have issued our report thereon dated May 4,
2001. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the provisions of the Minnesota
Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 6.65. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material
misstatement.
Compliance:
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers five main categories of
compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public
indebtedness, and claims and disbursements. Our study included all of the listed categories.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards or the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for
Local Government.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general
purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all
matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be

material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no
matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management, federal
awarding agencies, state funding agencies, and pass- through entities and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

To the City Council of the
City of Brooklyn Center
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
Dear Council Members:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the
City) for the year ended December 31, 2000, and have issued our report thereon dated May 4, 2001.
Our professional standards require that we communicate with you concerning certain matters that may be
of interest to you in fulfilling your obligation to oversee the financial reporting and disclosure process for
which management of the City is responsible. We have prepared the following comments to assist you in
fulfilling that obligation.
Our Responsibility Under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards:
Our responsibility under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (generally
accepted auditing standards) has been described to you in our engagement letter dated October 23, 2000.
As described in that letter, those standards require, among other things, that we obtain an understanding
of the City's internal control sufficient to plan the audit and to determine the nature, timing, and extent of
audit procedures to be performed. We have issued a separate report to you, also dated May 4, 2001,
containing our comments on the City's internal control.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The City's significant accounting policies are set forth in the notes to the City's general purpose financial
statements. During the year ended December 31, 2000, there were no significant changes in previously
adopted accounting policies or their application.
Management's Judgments and Accounting Estimates:
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and
experience about past and current events and on assumptions about future events. Significant accounting
estimates are reflected in the footnotes to the City's 2000 general purpose financial statements. During
the year ended December 31, 2000, we are not aware of any significant changes in accounting estimates
or in management's judgments relating to such estimates.

Audit Adjustments:
Our audit was designed to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. In addition, we are
obligated by generally accepted auditing standards to inform you of any adjustments arising from the
audit that could, in our judgment, either individually or in the aggregate, have a significant effect on the
City's financial reporting process. All proposed audit adjustments (whether recorded or uncorrected)
were reviewed with management and were determined, individually or in the aggregate, not to have a
significant effect on the financial reporting process.
In addition, we are obligated by generally accepted auditing standards to inform you about uncorrected
misstatements (regardless of whether they have a significant effect on the financial reporting process)
aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented that were
determined by management to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial
statements taken as a whole. A schedule of passed adjustments has been attached to this letter as
Appendix A.
Other Information in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report:
When audited general purpose financial statements are included in documents containing other
information such as the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, generally accepted auditing
standards require that we read such other information and consider whether it, or the manner of its
presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or the manner of its presentation, in the
general purpose financial statements audited by us. We have read the other information in the City's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and have inquired as to the methods of measurement and
presentation of such information. If we had noted a material inconsistency, or if we had obtained any
knowledge of a material misstatement of fact in the other information, we would have discussed this
matter with management and, if appropriate, with the City Council.
Disagreements with Management:
We have not had any disagreements with management related to matters that are material to the City's
2000 general purpose financial statements.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit:
In our judgment, we received the full cooperation of the City's management and staff and had unrestricted
access to the City's senior management in the performance of our audit.

To the City Council of the
City of Brooklyn Center
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the City of Brooklyn
Center (the City) for the year ended December 31, 2000 (on which we have issued our report dated
May 4, 2001), we considered its internal control in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide
assurance on the City's internal control. Such consideration would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the City's internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the
design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to
the general purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely
period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters
involving the City's internal control and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above.
We did note other accounting, administrative, and operating matters. These recommendations resulted
from our observations made in connection with our audit of the City's general purpose financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Our comments are presented under the following main captions:
Exhibit I - Current -Year Comments
Exhibit II - Status of Prior -Year Comments
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council members, management, and
others within the City and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
We will be pleased to discuss these recommendations with you and, if desired, to assist you in
implementing any of the suggestions.
Yours truly,
Deloitte

EXHIBIT I
CURRENT -YEAR COMMENTS
PG &E Investment:
Observation:
Based on the recommendation of one of its brokers, the City purchased $2,500,000 face value of PG &E
Corporation commercial paper on December 12, 2000 with a maturity date of January 24, 2001.
Subsequent to the purchase, the City independently became aware that the issue had been placed on
credit watch for possible downgrade by one of the leading credit agencies on September 14, 2000.
PG &E defaulted on the paper when it was due on January 24, 2001. The City had adequate reserves to
preclude the need for outside borrowing despite the default. In March 2001, a corporate restructuring
occurred within PG &E resulting in the City receiving full payment of its investment.
In response to the above situation, the City terminated its relationship with the broker who recommended
the purchase and reorganized the Finance Department. The City is also in the process of reevaluating its
investment policy and procedures, including determining the appropriateness of commercial paper
investment limits on the percentage invested per company and expanding its role in performing due
diligence on individual investments.
Recommendation:
We commend the City for the steps that it has taken since the above incident. We recommend that the
City continue its efforts to improve controls and monitoring of its investments to include reevaluating its
investment policy on a regular basis and ensuring that any new individuals involved in the investment
function are familiar with such policy as roles change.
Fixed Asset Trade -ins:
Observation:
During testing of fixed assets, we noted that some items purchased as new equipment also had old
equipment that was traded in, thus reducing cash spent. The City was not, however, capitalizing the
trade -in value of the old equipment as part of the new asset.
Recommendation:
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America state that because it is
generally difficult to determine separately the economic substance of the purchase price and the trade -in
allowance, the cost of the new asset is generally recorded at the amount of the monetary consideration
paid plus the unexpired cost of the trade -in surrendered. Although the effect of the error in methodology
did not have a material effect on the City's financial statements, we recommend that the City capitalize
the trade -in value of old equipment as part the new asset.
2
Accrual for Postemployment Benefits:
Observation:
The City offers postemployment medical benefits to qualifying employees. This liability has continued
to increase significantly over the years, and an outside actuarial valuation of the liability has never been
performed. In the prior year, we recommended that the City have an outside actuarial valuation
performed to develop a baseline for this liability. During 2000, the City performed its own detailed
analysis of the liability. This analysis included actuarial factors (such as inflation rates) that had not
been considered in prior -year examinations.
Recommendation:
We commend the City on its efforts during 2000. We continue to recommend that an outside actuarial
valuation be performed by qualified professionals. As implementation of Statement of Governmental
Accounting Standards Board No. 34 (SGAS No. 34) approaches, the City will be required to adopt full
accrual accounting to include accounting for postemployment benefits. We understand the City has been
reluctant to have an outside actuarial valuation because the cost may exceed the benefits. However, once
the baseline valuation is performed, such valuation could then be updated every two to three years
(versus every year), as necessary.
Segregation of Duties - Utility Billing:
Observation:
During testing of controls, we noted that mailed payments are received directly by the utility billing
department. Segregation of duties related to the receipt and recording of funds is an important control
that mitigates the risk of fraud and the misappropriation of funds.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the City consider setting up a lock -box system that would allow segregation of
billing and cash receipts within the billing department.
Capitalization Policy:
Observation:
The City capitalizes all assets purchased with a value of $1,000 or greater. In March 1997, the
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) issued a recommended practices bulletin for state and
local governments that recommends a minimum threshold for capitalization of $1,000 and a maximum
threshold of $5,000. Many leading public sector organizations have significantly higher capitalization
thresholds, recognizing that controls present in the purchasing process are an effective, but less costly,
alternative to maintaining accountability for fixed assets of less than $5,000 in value versus an extensive
listing and periodic inventory of fixed assets. Current federal requirements are that items with a value in
excess of $5,000 be capitalized.
3
Recommendation:
The City should consider reevaluating its current policy and establishing guidelines in accordance with
GFOA recommendations, taking into .consideration the costs and benefits of maintaining its current
capitalization threshold of $1,000.
Financial Reporting Model:
On June 30, 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued SGAS No. 34, Basic
Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments.
SGAS No. 34 changes the framework of financial reporting for state and local governments.
The primary requirement of SGAS No. 34 is that financial statements must be accompanied by a
narrative introduction and analytical overview of the government's financial activities in the form of
"management's discussion and analysis" (MD &A). The new MD &A will be classified as Required
Supplemental Information (RSI) and has specific requirements as to content. Additionally, the
measurement focus and accounting basis will change for most funds.
The major changes as a result of SGAS No. 34 are as follows:
• An entitywide statement of activities designed to display information about the government as a
whole, except for fiduciary activities. The statement highlights both the total expense of each
different function and the net expense of that same function (i.e., total expense less related revenues
such as fees, charges, and restricted grants). Activities will be presented in a net expense format
breaking out governmental and business -type activities separately. An entitywide statement of net
assets is also required.
• Fund financial statements will include a general fund and all other nonmajor governmental funds in
aggregate. A balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
will be required.
• Fund financial statements will also include proprietary and fiduciary funds. The fiduciary funds
should include financial information for fiduciary funds and similar component units. Statements of
net assets; revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and cash flows will be required for the
proprietary fund activities. A balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balances will be required for fiduciary funds.
• Budgetary comparisons are included as RSI presenting the original budget in addition to the final
amended budget for the general fund and for each major special revenue fund that has a legally
adopted annual budget. The reporting model will require a budgetary comparison for the general
fund and individual major special revenue funds following the notes to the financial statements.
Notes are required to explain any excess of expenditures over appropriations in individual funds.
• The measurement focus and basis of accounting for the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities should be prepared utilizing the economic resources measurement focus, and the accrual
basis of accounting.
4
A
The requirements of SGAS No. 34 are effective for the City in the year 2003.
We recommend that the City review the provisions of SGAS No. 34 to determine the appropriate changes
that will be made to the City's current financial reporting model when adopted.
Because of the significant changes, conversion or obtainment of the data will require a plan and long lead
times in many cases. We recommend you set forth a plan to assess the data requirements for your
organization and lay out an implementation plan as soon as possible. Our firm has developed an
"assessment and implementation tool" that is intended to help organizations through the process.

EXHIBIT II
STATUS OF PRIOR -YEAR COMMENTS
Accrual for Postemployment Benefits:
The City offers postemployment medical benefits to qualifying employees. In the prior year, we
recommended that the City have an outside actuarial valuation performed to develop a baseline for this
liability.
See current -year updated comment.
Fixed Asset System Upgrade:
The City upgraded to the NetWare Operating Systems in June 1999. The compatibility of the City's
stand -alone fixed asset system and the upgraded NetWare system was not determined prior to the date of
installation; therefore, on the date of installation, the fixed asset system failed. The City did not lose any
of the information contained on the system, but was unable to process any new information. A
compatible NetWare system was found in the fall of 1999 but not installed until April 2000 due to lack of
City management information systems (MIS) resources. As a result, all new purchases and sales of fixed
assets had to be processed manually from June 1999 to April 2000. Further, the City was not able to use
the system to develop depreciation expectations when preparing the 2000 budget. We recommended that
the City evaluate increasing resources for the MIS department to handle the stand -alone fixed asset
system in addition to the City's other systems or consider reverting back to the LOGIS system to process
fixed asset transactions, as was done prior to the purchase of the stand -alone system.
The City continued to use the stand -alone Fixed Asset system during 2000 with no further problems. As
such, this comment will not be repeated in the current year.
Service Auditors' Report:
During our testing of controls in the prior year, we noted that a review of LOGIS' internal controls
(financials, payroll, and utility billing) by an independent accounting firm in accordance with Statement
on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 has not been performed since May 1995. We recommended that a
SAS No. 70 review of LOGIS (or the new system that the City plans to implement) be performed at least
every two to three years to monitor its controls.
Our current -year understanding is that such review is scheduled to take place during 2002. As such, this
comment will not be repeated.
Segregation of Duties - Utility Billing:
During testing of controls in the prior year, we noted that mailed payments are received directly by the
utility billing department. We recommended that the City consider setting up a lock -box system that
would allow segregation of billing and cash receipts within the billing department.
Due to a lack of resources available, the City has not yet been able to implement a lock -box system. This
comment will be repeated in the current year.
Financial Reporting Model:
See current -year recommendation regarding SGAS No. 34.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
I hereby transmit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Brooklyn
Center for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Minnesota Statutes and City Charter,
I Section 7.12, require that the financial statements of the City of Brooklyn Center be audited
by the State Auditor or a certified public accountant selected by the City Council. This
requirement has been complied with by the engagement of the firm of Deloitte & Touche
LLP and their report is included in the financial section of this report.
This report has been prepared following the guidelines recommended by the Government
t Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. The Government Finance
Officers Association awards Certificates of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting to those governments whose Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports are
r judged to conform substantially with high standards of public financial reporting, including
generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. Our financial reports for the past fourteen years have received this
award. It is my belief that the accompanying report meets program standards, and it will be
submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association for review.
Respect submitted,

Mr. Michael J. McCauley
City Manager
City of Brooklyn Center
Dear Mr. McCauley:
The
comprehensive annual financial report of the City of Brooklyn Center (the City) for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 is hereby submitted. Responsibility for both the
r accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all
disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data
are accurate in all material respects and are reported in a manner designed to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the various funds and
account groups of the City. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an
' understanding of the government's financial activities have been included.
The comprehensive annual financial report is presented in three sections: introductory,
financial, and statistical. Included in the introductory section is this transmittal letter, the
government's organizational chart and a list of principal officials. The financial section
includes the general purpose financial statements and the combining and individual fund
and account group financial statements and schedules, as well as the independent
auditors' report on the general purpose financial statements. The statistical section
includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi
year basis.
The City is required to comply with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of
1996 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A -133, "Audits of States,
Local Governments, and Non - Profit Organizations." This requires a single audit when
expenditures of federal grants exceed $300,000 in one year. Expenditures of federal
grants were less than $300,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000; therefore, no
single audit was required for the year ended December 31, 2000.
REPORTING ENTITY
The financial reporting entity includes all funds and account groups of the primary
government (i.e., the City of Brooklyn Center as legally defined), as well as all of its
component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the primary
government is financially accountable.

Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the
primary government's operations, and are included as part of the primary government.
Accordingly, the Economic Development Authority and the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority are reported as special revenue funds of the City of Brooklyn Center.
The City provides a full range of municipal services including public safety (police and fire),
streets, sanitation, social services, culture- recreation, public improvements, planning and
zoning, and general administrative services. The City operates an off -sale liquor store, a
public water, sewer and storm drainage utility, a golf course, and a convention center ,
known as the Earle Brown Heritage Center.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The City of Brooklyn Center is a northern suburb of the Minneapolis /St. Paul metropolitan ,
area, lying adjacent to the City of Minneapolis. The City is wholly within Hennepin County
and encompasses an area of approximately 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 count for the City is 29,172, a
slight increase from the 1990 Census count of 28,887. The number of housing units has
remained stable at 11,656 units; there were 11,704 housing units in 1990. There were 18
new housing units constructed in 2000.
The estimated market value of property within the City increased 12.46% in 2000 over
1999 and it increased 7.21 % in 1999 over 1998. The City Assessor reports that residential
values are continuing to show increases in early 2001 although commercial /industrial
values are less robust. 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.
Commercial and industrial property comprises 51.5% of the City's taxable net tax capacity.
There are four major shopping centers located in the City. The largest commercial
property in the City is Brookdale Mall, a 1,000,000 square -foot regional shopping center
anchored by Daytons, Sears, J.C. Penney's, and Mervyn's of California. The other three
retail shopping centers in the City include Brookdale Square, a 125,000 square -foot strip .
center plus an 8- screen theater; Shingle Creek Center, a 157,000 square -foot building
anchored by Target; and Brookview Plaza, a 70,000 square -foot center anchored by Best
Buy. Other free- standing retail establishments include Kohl's Department Store, Cub
Foods Supermarket, and Rainbow Supermarket. The Brookdale Corner retail
development, with a Cub Foods Supermarket and small retail shops, has enhanced the ,
area surrounding the Brookdale Mall. The Regal Cinema Theater, an 85,000 square foot,
20 screen, stadium style theater opened in the summer of 2000.
5
New construction in 2000 includes the completion of the Regal Cinema Theater for
$2,390,000; the Cub Foods Supermarket and Brookdale Corner retail stores for
$5,320,000; Motel 6 for $3,000,000; Brookpark Dental building shell for $279,200;
SuperAmerica car wash for $200,000 and Brooklyn Center Pet Care for $150,000. Other
commercial and industrial remodeling projects included Shingle Creek Industrial for
$600,000; Medtronic for $70,000; Schmitt Music for $100,000; J.C. Penney's remodeling
for $100,000 and Sears remodeling for $900,000.
r The convergence of highways in Brooklyn Center and the close proximity to downtown
Minneapolis make the City an attractive site for hotels and motels. Establishments now
operating in the City include Americlnn, Baymont Inn, Comfort Inn, Country Inn & Suites,
Extended StayAmerica, Hilton Hotel, Holiday Inn, Inn on the Farm, and Super 8 Motel. In
addition, a Motel 6 opened in February 2001.
MAJOR EVENTS OF 2000
' Brooklyn Center is a mature, developed suburb which is working to revitalize itself. With its
p g
affordable housing, excellent schools, beautiful parks, and convenient 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 aged infrastructure, that
is the streets, utilities, and parks; and the reinvigoration of neighborhoods.
The City continued its redevelopment effort in the Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue
area with the purchase of additional property for future commercial development and
roadway improvements. Road improvements and demolition of old structures are
r underway.
+� As part of the planned replacement of the City's infrastructure, the City is in the process of
completing several major street and utility improvements. These improvements were
funded by general obligation special assessment bonds sold during 2000, 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 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 start over again with the streets that were done first. A side benefit of
the street improvements has been a noticeable effort by the residents in those
neighborhoods to paint, landscape, and otherwise improve their houses.
In November 1997, voters approved the issuance of $7,900,000 of general obligation
bonds to be used toward the construction and remodeling of City police and fire facilities.
' Construction of these facilities began in 1998 and was completed in 2000. The project is
accounted for in the Capital Improvements Fund.
6
In 1997, Equitable Real Estate sold Brookdale Mall to Talisman Brookdale, LLC. Talisman ,
Brookdale, LLC announced a large scale remodeling and expansion plan for Brookdale
Mall for 1999 and 2000. The work has subsequently been deferred until 2001 and later.
Final financing issues have delayed the project's progress.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls '
designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and
to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of '
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal
controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a
control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs
and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
In addition, the City maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary
controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget
appropriation approved by the City's governing body. Activities of the General Fund and ,
special revenue funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. Project - length
financial plans are adopted for the Capital Projects Funds. The level of budgetary control ,
(that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is
established by department for the General Fund and at the aggregate fund level for all
other governmental funds that adopt annual budgets. Appropriations lapse at year -end
and generally are not re- appropriated in the following year's budget.
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this
report, the City continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management.

Revenues and other financing sources for the General Fund totaled $14,648,366 in 2000,
an increase of $614,568 from the previous year. From the table above, it is apparent that
the major sources of revenue available for funding of general governmental functions are
taxes and intergovernmental revenue, which, when combined, provide 87% of the total
' revenues. The principal sources of intergovernmental aid to the City are homestead and
agricultural credit aid of $1,379,768 and local government aid of $2,122,635.
In response to potential property tax abatements, the City has established a tax abatement
reserve in the General Fund. Since the early 1990's, City management has estimated the
potential future abatements on large commercial properties. The City decreased the
' reserve in the General Fund by $41,400 in 2000. The balance in the reserve in the
General Fund was $208,833 and $250,233 on December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
City management estimates that potential tax abatements not covered by the reserve
would not materially affect the finances of the City.
The decline in license and permit revenue is consistent with many other Minnesota
' suburban communities. The most likely cause for the decrease was relatively high interest
rates during the peak construction season in 2000.

The following schedule presents a summary of general fund budgeted expenditures for
2001, and actual expenditures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, compared to
1999.

Total $14,437,943 $13,8 25,030 $13,363,091 $461,939
Total expenditures and other financing uses in 2000 increased by a total of $461,939 over
1999, a 3.46% increase. Salaries and benefits account for $336,713 of the increase,
primarily due to the 3% wage adjustment given to most employees. Additionally, snow and
ice control expenses increased $46,574 over 1999 levels in 2000 due to the harsh winter
weather. Police building maintenance expenses increased $63,636 as the new police
building was operational for the entire year.
The General Fund also transferred $394,197 to the Special Assessment Construction Fund
for infrastructure replacement. This transfer allows the City to pay cash for street
improvements instead of borrowing through a bond issue for the property tax portion of the
projects. The City anticipates this transfer to continue in the future as part of the planned
replacement of the City's aged infrastructure.
The General Fund had an excess of revenues and other financing sources over
expenditures and other financing uses of $823,336 in 2000; the excess in 1999 was
$670,707. Collections of current and delinquent property taxes in 2000 were greater than
anticipated; additionally, penalty and interest revenues on delinquent taxes were $57,894 ,
higher than in 1999. Additionally, the reserve for tax abatements was decreased by
$41,400 in 2000 compared to an increase in the reserve of $113,949 in 1999.

GENERAL FUND BALANCE
As of December 31, 2000, the fund balance of the General Fund totaled $7,452,043. This
ending fund balance is the equivalent of approximately six months of expenditures for the
2001 budget. Property taxes and intergovernmental revenue represent 88% of the
budgeted general fund revenue for 2001. The State of Minnesota has structured city
finances so most of these revenues are received in the second half of the fiscal year.
Minnesota cities typically receive as little as 10% of their total revenues in the first six
months of the year. In recognition of this fact, a major portion of the fund balance is being
designated for working capital.
The Financial Management Policies adopted by the City Council on June 8, 1992 establish
a formula for determining a minimum level of fund balance to be maintained in the General
Fund. Major elements of the formula include coverage of assets not readily convertible to
cash and a provision for working capital equal to 45% of the next year's General Fund
budget. The Financial Management Policies go on to state that no more that 50% of any
' year's surplus over the minimum level shall be committed to other uses in that year.
Calculation of this formula on the fund balance in the General Fund as of December 31,
' 1999 revealed a surplus of $1,372,688 above the minimum requirements which is available
for other uses. This allowed the transfer of up to $686,344 to other funds.
' The City Council passed a resolution transferring $415,000 of surplus funds from the
General Fund to the Capital Improvements Fund for future government building and park
improvements and $265,000 to the Special Assessment Construction Fund for future street
improvements. These appear in the financial statements as equity transfers since they
relate to the prior year's surplus.
EARLE BROWN FARM TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT
This tax increment financing (TIF) district had a deficit fund balance as of December 31,
2000. It is caused by a series of reductions in property tax class rates made by the State
of Minnesota, which have eroded the revenue base of TIF districts throughout Minnesota.
Borrowing from other City funds is required in order for the district to meet its obligations. If
the current situation continues, the district will experience annual deficits. The TIF district
will make its last transfer to the Debt Service Funds in the year 2003. It has the authority to
continue to exist and collect tax increments through the year 2008. Two years of tax
collections beyond 2003 should be sufficient to repay all internal borrowing.
' 10
ENTERPRISE OPERATIONS
The City's enterprise operations are composed of seven separate and distinctive activities:
Liquor store, Golf Course, Earle Brown Heritage Center, Recycling, Water utility, Sanitary
Sewer utility, and Storm Drainage utility.
The liquor store operation has gradually one location. The ,
q p g y been consolidated into
remaining store operates in a leased facility adjacent to the new Cub Foods Supermarket.
The City had operated three stores in the past. The past year was a transition year for the
liquor operation; one City -owned location was sold to a local school district, while a
formerly leased store was vacated and moved to the new location. The operating results
for 2000 reflect the transition.
Centerbrook Golf Course is a nine -hole, par three golf course owned and operated by the
City. Green fees have been increasing each year to keep pace with inflation. The
interfund loan, used to build the golf course, is being repaid over a planned schedule
covering twenty years. The business is increasingly competitive; many new courses are '
being added within the immediate area.
The Earle Brown Heritage Center is a pioneer farmstead which 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. A new caterer began providing food services in the spring of 1999 and a major
addition was completed in 2000. The City's policy forthis enterprise is to set fees and user
charges at a level that allows the operation to break -even excluding depreciation on
contributed assets. That standard was met in 2000; the new catering company and the
addition of meeting space helped the facility to post its best financial performance to date.
The first few months of 2001 have continued to be strong.
The dwindling supply of landfill space for the disposal of garbage has become a major
concern in Minnesota. State and county mandated goals for the diversion of garbage to
recycling programs took effect in 1989. In response, the City opened a Recycling and
Refuse Fund as an enterprise fund. Thus far, the City is only operating a recycling
program. Expansion into garbage collection will take place when there is clear advantage
to be achieved by it. Goals for the recycling program are being met.
The Water and Sanitary Sewer utilities are largely developed and already reach all parts of '
the City. Rates for both water and sanitary sewer are reviewed annually and are increased
as needed to cover inflation and the need for new capital outlays. Three - fourths of the
sewer operating expenses are fees paid to the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services for sewage treatment. Planned rate increases should be sufficient to keep both
funds profitable. Mains and customer service lines are being replaced as needed
concurrent with the City's 25 -year program for reconstructing streets.
11 ,
During the 1980's, the State of Minnesota passed legislation that requires cities to take
greater responsibility for controlling storm water runoff. In response to this, the City
' created a Storm Drainage Utility Fund. Fees to property owners are based on the amount
of water runoff from the properties; the fees vary according to the size and absorption
characteristics of the respective properties. Construction of storm sewer lines is being
made concurrent with the City's 25 -year program for reconstructing streets.
' INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
' The Central Garage Fund was established to own and maintain all operating equipment of
the City valued over $10,000. At present, the fund maintains over 150 pieces of rolling and
non rolling stock equipment with a net book value of $2,988,961. Equipment maintenance,
repair, fuel, and replacement costs are provided from rental rates which the Central Garage
Fund charges City operating departments for the use of the equipment.
The Public Employees Retirement Fund was established to provide certain health care
benefits for qualifying City employees who retire before age 65. The fund had assets of
$1,423,349 at year -end. The liability of the City is analyzed on an annual basis.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
At December 31, 2000, the City had thirteen debt issues outstanding. These issues
include $8,760,000 of general obligation bonds, $6,120,000 of special assessment debt
with government commitment, $1,050,000 of general obligation revenue bonds and
$9,140,000 of general obligation tax increment bonds. The City maintained its A -1 rating
from Moody's Investors Service.
The City issued $735,000 of bonds supported solely by special assessments during 2000.
' The special assessment bond issue provided financing for various improvement projects in
the City.
CASH MANAGEMENT
The Finance Department keeps abreast of current trends and procedures for cash
management and forecasting so as to ensure efficient and profitable use of the City's cash
resources. Cash is invested only in investments authorized by Minnesota Statutes Chapter
' 118A.
12
Interest earned during 2000 amounted to $1,123,714 compared to $963,842 during 1999. ,
Changes in the fair value of investments reduced 2000 earnings by $708,285; they
decreased 1999 earnings by $839,273. The City has historically held all investments to ,
maturity. Therefore unless the City liquidates the investment(s) prior to maturity, it is
expected that the change in fair market value is temporary and will be reversed in future
periods. ,
The main component of the decrease in the fair value of investments in 2000 was a
commercial paper investment in PG &E Corporation; its market value was estimated to
be 50% of its maturity value as of December 31, 2000. This valuation was derived by
the City based on information gleaned from multiple traders in early 2001. The City
could not find any broker willing to place a definitive value on the issue as of December
31, 2000. The decrease in fair value of this investment was $1,250,000; the increase in
fair value of the rest of the portfolio was $541,707. The City purchased $2,500,000
face value of PG &E Corporation commercial paper on December 12, 2000 with a
maturity date of January 24, 2001 based on the recommendation of one of its brokers.
According to the broker, the commercial paper became impaired later the same day; no '
bids were available for selling the issue. Subsequent to December 12, 2000, the City
independently discovered that the issue had been placed on credit watch for possible
downgrade by one of the leading credit agencies on September 14, 2000. PG &E i
Corporation defaulted on the paper when it was due on January 24, 2001. The City
had adequate reserves to preclude the need for outside borrowing despite the default.
In March 2001, a corporate restructuring occurred within PG &E Corporation resulting in
the City receiving full payment of its investment, plus interest from the original maturity
date through the actual payment date. The $1,250,000 decrease in fair value recorded
in the December 31, 2000 financial statements will be reversed in 2001.
In light of this situation, the City has scrutinized its investment function. The PG &E
purchase raises two separate issues which warranted attention: 1) the appropriate
maximum investment in any single investment and 2) the propriety of individual
investments. To address the first issue, the City and its Financial Commission will '
examine the City's current investment policy and determine if a "cap" should be placed
on the amounts invested in individual securities. In the past, the City has relied on the
training and experience of its Treasurer and reputation of its brokers; sound investment '
practice dictates diversification within a portfolio. It was not deemed necessary to
formally recognize this fact in the City's investment policy. Due to a departmental
reorganization within the City near year -end, different individuals are involved in the '
investment function. These individuals are cognizant of the diversification necessary in
a portfolio; no large, individual issue investments will occur in the future. To address
the second issue, the City and its Financial Commission will determine the ,
appropriateness of commercial paper in its portfolio. Since the PG &E situation, the City
has not invested in any individual commercial paper issues. Additionally, the City is
examining its role in performing due diligence on individual investments. Relying on
local, large experienced brokers to provide this oversight, as the City has done in the
past, may not be sufficient to protect the City's interests. ,
13 ,
r
The City adopted a written investment policy in 1990 and adopted an updated policy in
1997. The policy's objectives are to minimize credit and market risk, provide needed
liquidity, and maintain a competitive yield on the portfolio. As referenced earlier, the policy
will be reviewed in 2001.
' All deposits were either insured by federal depository insurance or collateralized.
Investment securities are held in a custody arrangement with a bank trust department. All
investments are listed in the lowest custodial credit risk category, Category 1. Cash and
investment balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in
authorized investments. Earnings from securities are allocated to the various funds in
r proportion to their relative cash book balances.
The City has not purchased any collateralized mortgage obligations, derivatives, or strip
investments. The practice is to hold investments to maturity. In the recent past, the City
has not needed to use any short-term debt and does not anticipate such a need in the
future. Of the City's portfolio as of December 31, 2000, 41% matures within 1 year,
' another 22% in the second year, 22% in the third year, 3% in the fourth year, 3% in the fifth
year, and the last 9% in the sixth through the tenth years.
r
RISK MANAGEMENT
r The City insures all significant risk. A schedule of such insurance is included in the
Statistical Section.
r
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
r The City Charter and State Statutes require the Council to provide for an audit of the
financial transactions of the City. Deloitte & Touche LLP has been retained for that
r purpose and their unqualified opinion has been included in this report.

City of Brooklyn Center
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies
The City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the City) was formed and operates
pursuant to applicable Minnesota laws and statutes. The governing body consists M
of a mayor and four City Council members elected at large to serve four -year
staggered terms.
A. Reportinq Entitv
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.
Economic Development Authority (EDA) and 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 EDA and HRA tax levies, 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 as several agreements with other entities y g t ties that provide reduced costs,
better service, and additional benefits to the participants. The programs in which
the City participates are listed below; amounts recorded within the current year's
financial statements are disclosed.
25
Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies (cont'd)
' Local Government Information Systems Association ( LOGIS):
This consortium of approximately 24 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 2000 financial
statements of the City was $356,969 for services provided, which is allocated to the
various funds based on applications. Complete financial statements may be
obtained at the LOGIS offices located at 5750 Duluth Street, Golden Valley,
Minnesota 55422.
LOGIS Insurance Group:
This group provides cooperative purchasing of health and life insurance benefits for
approximately 45 governmental entities. The total 2000 employee insurance
benefits expense, including health and life insurance, recorded within the financial
statements was $629,635. Complete financial statements may be obtained from
DCA, Inc. located at 400 DCA Center, 13100 Wayzata Boulevard, Minnetonka, MN
55305 -1840.
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 such members in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes. Its board of directors is appointed 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 15 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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accountinq Policies (cont'd)
B. Fund Accountinq
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups,
each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each
fund are accounted forwith a separate set of self - balancing accounts that comprise
its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as
appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by
which spending activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped, in the
financial statements in this report, into six generic fund types and two broad fund
categories as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is
used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for
in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the
proceeds of certain specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to
expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation
of resources for, and the payment of, general long -term debt principal, interest, and
related costs.
Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial
resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities,
other than those financed by proprietary funds.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS:
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are ,
financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where
the intent is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or
services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered
primarily through user charges.
Internal Service Funds - Internal Service Funds are used to account for the
financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of
the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
27
Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
C. Fixed Assets and Lonq -Term Liabilities
The accounting and reporting of fixed assets and long -term liabilities associated
with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are
accounted for on a spending or "financial flow" measurement, which means that
only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance
sheets. Their reported fund balance is considered a measure of "available
spendable resources." Governmental fund operating statements present increases
(revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other
financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a
summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations are accounted for in the
General Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in the governmental funds. Public
domain general fixed assets consisting of certain improvements other than
buildings, including roads, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage
systems, and lighting systems, have been excluded from general fixed assets, as
such items are immovable and of value only to the City. No depreciation has been
provided on general fixed assets.
All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if historical
cost is unavailable. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated market
value as of the date donated.
The fixed assets of the proprietary funds are depreciated using the straight -line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are
as follows:
Water & Sewer Mains & Lines 100 Y ears
Buildings and Structures 20 -40 years
j Water Wells and Storage Tanks 15 -50 years
Sewer Lift Stations 15 -40 years
Machinery and Equipment 5 -20 years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 -20 years
Public Utility assets financed by special assessments are recorded as contributions.
Long -term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental funds are
accounted for in the General Long -Term Debt Account Group, not in the
governmental funds.
28
Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies (cont'd)
All proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources
measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities
associated with the operations of these funds are included on the balance sheet.
Fund equity (e.g., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and
retained earnings components. Proprietary fund -type operating statements present
increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.
D. Basis of Accounting
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of ,
accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and
available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
Major revenues that are susceptible to accrual include taxes, special assessments,
intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, and investment earnings. Major
revenues that are not susceptible to accrual include licenses and permits, fees, and
miscellaneous revenues; such revenues are recorded only as received because
they are not measurable until collected. Interest on special assessments is
recognized as revenue when due, net of delinquencies.
are
Expenditures generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of
p g Y reco 9
accounting when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and
interest on general long -term debt which is recognized when due.
All proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Their
revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized
when they are incurred. Unbilled Water and Sewer Fund utility service receivables
are recorded at year -end. The City applies all applicable Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued prior to November 30, 1989 in
accounting for its proprietary operations.
E. Budqets and Budqetary Accountinq
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 in November.
29
Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies (cont'd)
3. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
4. The budgets are legally enacted through passage of a resolution 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 the 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.
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 Projects 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 Debt Service Funds and the project -
length Capital Projects Funds.
I� 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 ado ted or as amended b the City
g P Y Y
Council. Individual and aggregate amendments were not material in relation to the
original appropriations.
F. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in
authorized investments (see Note 2). Earnings from such investments are allocated
to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by
each fund. Cash and investments are stated at fair value. Unless individual
investments become impaired, all commercial paper and certificates of deposit with
30
Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies (cont'd)
a maturity of one year or less when p urchased are stated at amortized cost which
approximates market value. All highly liquid unrestricted investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
G. Inventories and Supplies
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 governmental fund type supplies are recorded
as expenditures when purchased.
H. Accrued Vacation and Sick Pav
The City pays employees severance pay upon termination of employment based on
accumulated sick leave and accrued vacation. Such pay is accrued as an
expenditure /expense as it is earned.
I. Fund Equitv 1
Contributed capital is recorded in proprietary funds that have received capital grants
or contributions from developers, customers, or other funds.
Reserves represent those portions of fund equity not appropriable for expenditure or
legally segregated for a specific future use. Designated fund balance represents
tentative plans for future use of financial resources.
J. Property Tax
Property tax levies are set by the City Council in December of each year, and are
certified to Hennepin County for collection in the following year. In Minnesota,
counties act as collection agents for all property taxes.
The County spreads all levies over taxable property. Such taxes become a lien on
January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City at that date. Revenues are
accrued and recognized in the year collectible, net of delinquencies.
Real property taxes may be paid by taxpayers in two equal installments on May 15
and October 15. Personal property taxes may be paid on February 28 and June 30.
The County provides tax settlements to cities and other taxing districts two times a
year, in July and December.
31
t Note 1: Summary of Siqnificant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
Taxes that remain unpaid at December 31 are classified as delinquent taxes
receivable and are fully offset by deferred revenue because they are not known to
be available to finance current expenditures. In addition, at December 31, 2000,
the City has recorded $208,833 in deferred revenue for the General Fund for
estimated property tax abatements on properties whose value is under appeal that
are anticipated to be repaid to the County in future years.
K. Total Columns on Combined Statements
Total columns on the Combined Statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to
indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these
columns do not present financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
L. New Accountinq Pronouncement
In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments. This
statement is effective for the City for the year ending December 31, 2003.

The statement also requires the City to utilize the economic resources measurement
focus as well as the accrual basis of accounting. The City has not yet determined
' the effects Statement No. 34 will have on its financial statements.

Bonds to provide assistance to private sector entities for the acquisition and construction of
housing, industrial, and commercial facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds ,

Note 11: Contin q encies
There are several lawsuits pending in which the City is involved. City
management estimates that the potential claims against the City not covered by
insurance resulting from such litigation would not materially affect the City's
financial position.
Note 12: 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 for which
the City carries commercial insurance policies. The City retains risk for the
deductible portions of the insurance policies. The amount of these deductibles ,
is considered immaterial to the financial statements.'
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 13: Post - Emplovment Health Care Benefits
The City has provided post- retirement health care benefits, as per the
requirements of a 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 14A)
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.
I 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 PERA police. 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, 2000, eight employees currently participate in this program.
The cost of City paid health care premiums for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999 was $17,715 and $16,354, respectively. The $1,423,243
recorded as a liability reflects the City's current balance reserved for this
obligation. The City's current analysis estimates that annual contributions of
$59,000 per year will be required to fully fund this program. The liability will be
analyzed on an ongoing basis.
Note 14: Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide
A. Plan Description
i
All full -time and certain part-time employees of the City of Brooklyn Center are
covered by defined benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees
Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public
Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire
I I, Fund (PEPFF), which are cost sharing, multiple - employer retirement plans.
These plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356.
' 46
Note 14: Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide (cont'd) '
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan.
Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security and Basic members
are not. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police
officers, fire fighters, 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 member's highest average salary for any five
successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of
service.
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERF's Coordinated and Basic
members. The retiring member receives the higher of step rate benefit accrual
formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the ,
annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of average salary for
each of the first 10 years of service and 2.7 percent for each remaining year.
The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percent of
average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.7 percent for each remaining
year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average salary
for Basic Plan members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for each ,
year of service. For all PEPFF members and PERF members whose annuity is
calculated using Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of
service equal 90. A reduced annuity is also available to eligible members
seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A
normal annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree --
no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor
annuity options available which will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount,
because the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their
contributions in the fund upon termination of public service in order to qualify for
a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contributions are available at
any time to members who leave public service, before retirement benefits begin.
The benefit rovisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are ,
p p
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, 514 St. Peter Street, #200, St. Paul, ,
Minnesota, 55102 or by calling (651) 296 -7460 or 1- 800 - 652 -9026.

B. Fundinq Policv
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rate for employer and employee
p
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 8.75% and, 4.75 %,
respectively, of their annual covered salary. PEPFF members are required to
contribute 7.60% of their annual covered salary. The City of Brooklyn Center is
' required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll:
11.43% for Basic Plan PERF members, 5.18% for Coordinated Plan PERF
members, and 11.40% for PEPFF members. The City's contributions to the
Public Employees Retirement Fund for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998 were $299,879, $285,779, and $277,561, respectively. The
City's contributions to the Public Employees Police & Fire Fund for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were $223,541, $254,859, and
$269,796, respectively. The City's contributions were equal to the contractually
required contributions for each year as set by State statute.

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 fire fighters of the
City who are members of the Association. The Association issues a financial
report which is available at City offices.
Funding Policv 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 2000 were $120,175, of which
$28,020 was levied by the City of Brooklyn Center and
$92,155 was from the State of Minnesota. The actuarially
determined contribution based on an actuarial valuation
performed at January 1, 1999 was $96,617, which represents
funding for normal cost of $71,537 and administration of
$25,080. Actual contributions have continued at higher levels
to allow for a transition to a defined contribution plan in the
future.

The General Fund was established to account for all revenues and expenditures which are
not required to be accounted for in other funds. It has more diverse revenue sources than
other funds. These revenue sources include property taxes, licenses, permits, fines and
forfeits, intergovernmental, service charges, and investment earnings. The Fund's
resources finance a wide range of functions, including the current operations of general
government, public safety, public works, health and welfare, recreation, and
non- departmental expenditures.
This fund utilizes the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they become available and measurable. Expenditures are
recognized in the accounting period in which the related liability is incurred.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
r
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:
r Public Employees Retirement Fund: This fund provides 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.
r 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.
