Re: Budget Work Session: August 6, 2001
Due to the late legislative session that resulted in the loss of HACA entirely, some Local
Government Aid (LGA), and levy limits, the budget discussion on August 6 will be in
very general terms. The State Department of Revenue sent notices of LGA amounts and
then advised that those amounts were incorrect and are being recalculated. The
Department of Revenue has also not sent notices of the actual levy amounts allowable
under the recent legislation. Therefore, the revenue projections are estimates based on
summaries of the legislation. Complex formulae are used to factor in small increases for
commercial industrial growth. Attached with these materials are copies of the Social
Service Requests.
• Several issues dominate the development of the General Fund Budget:
PERA contribution rates have been increased by the Legislature for both the employee
and the City. The City's cost will increase from 5.18% of wages to 5.53% of wages. The
employee's cost will rise form 4.75% to 5.1 %. This has the effect of increasing our
payroll costs .35% and reducing take -home pay .35 %. I would propose increasing wages
to cover the impacts of the PERA increases. The pension benefits will not increase as a
result of the increased costs. Labor settlements in 2001 in our comparable cities have
averaged above 3 %. Some of the cities that are settled for 2002 are also above 3 %. In
comparing some benchmark positions, we are still roughly around the average, but we
need to consider how we continue to be competitive.
Insurance costs will rise in 2003. The current estimate is a maximum increase of
approximately $9.58 to $90.59 per month, depending on the plan chosen. The labor
contracts provide for a wage and insurance re- opener in the event the average cost of all
health plans offered increases by more than $40.00 per month. The average of all plans
would be $60.97. Assuming no change in the projections, this will result in the wage and
insurance re- opener taking effect.
Logis will be imposing a $26,000 to $27,000 special assessment for the financial system.
The police software is also being replaced. The estimated cost for our share is in the
• $270,000 to $350,000 range.

Truth in taxation hearings are not required this year. The State has indicated that it is
optional, but if done, should conform to statutory requirements. I would not recommend
conducting a truth in taxation hearing this year. The additional expense of publication and
an additional City Council meeting would not provide more information to the public
than can be provided at regular City Council meetings and in the newsletter.
Total lodging tax receipts are ahead of last year. June was below last year's receipts. One
of the first reductions in a downturn is reported to be in business travel. It also is an area
that rebounds. Our current practice of very conservative estimation of lodging tax
revenues would appear to be prudent. It also assists in providing capital monies.
The overview of revenues and expenditures has not been adjusted for
recreation/community center revenues and expenditures. Both of those items were
reduced in the 2001 budget in anticipation of construction. The net impact of fees and
costs should be neutral on balancing the budget.

Re: Apartment Property Taxes and Rental Summary
The recent legislative change to the apartment classification rate will affect the tax capacity and amount
of property tax paid by apartment owners for 2002. 1 have attached a spreadsheet that shows the
difference in property taxes, using the 2001 assessment as an example. The property taxes for
apartments, based on the 2001 assessment, would change 18.80 from the legislative changes.
Apartment rents have steadily increased from the year 2000. Average rents in Brooklyn Center are
• P displayed on the attached spreadsheet. The averse rental increase in Brooklyn Center from Ma
9 Yn , Y
2000 to May, 2001 is 8.73 %, the average rental increase in the northwest suburban area is 11.7%
percent. Vacancy has remained below 3% for both 2000 and 2001.
The apartment owners saw an average increase of 22.5% for the 2001 assessment. The majority of
the phone calls regarding apartment valuation increases came from 4D property owners. This year the
impact of the classification rates shows a reduction in tax capacity, using 2001 as an example, for
these properties of 10 %. 4D apartment properties within Hennepin County have limited market rents
for 2001, as set by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. These rent limits are set as follows;
studio, $784, 1- bedroom, $840, 2- bedroom, $1008, and 3- bedroom, $1,165. These rental limits are
above the average rent in Brooklyn Center, and allow the 4D apartment owners to adjust their rents
proportionately with the market in Brooklyn Center.

DATE: June 5, 2001
SUBJECT: Rental License Fees
At its May 14, 2001, meeting, the City Council discussed the proposal prepared by staff regarding
increasing rental license fees for 2002. The City Council requested additional information regarding the
cost breakdown for regulating rental units, how much the increase was in 1997, and what other
municipalities have done in the past with fee increases and how often. Attached is a memorandum
prepared by Community Development Director Brad Hoffman regarding the Community Development
inspection costs. Following is a history of rental license fees for Brooklyn Center and also for other
municipalities.
Brooklyn Center
Licensing of rental property began June 1, 1975.

Bloomington
Licensing of rental property began in 1990.
The City of Bloomington increases its fees approximately 3% annually. The proposed fee increase is
based on the Consumer Price Index and t3' a increases. The City also does a periodic 'study to make
sure its fees are comparable with other cities.
Brooklyn Park
Licensing of rental property began in 1990.
Its initial fees were set based on the Brooklyn Center rental license fee schedule. The City of Brooklyn
Park periodically increases its license fees. Its fees were increased in 1996 approximately 50 -100 %.
Currently, Brooklyn Park is proposing fee increases of approximately 15 -50 %.

Crystal
Licensing of rental property began in 1992.
Crystal set its initial fees on the estimated inspector time and support staff time for administering the
program. Initial annual fees were set at $65 /single family; $80 /duplex; $90 /apt, bldg., plus $5 /unit.
Fees were reviewed in 1997 and moderately increased - $80 /single family; $100 /duplex; $110 /apt. bldg.,
plus $5 /unit. Crystal plans to propose increases for its rental license fees for 2002, however the
proposed fees are not yet established.

FROM:. Brad Hoffman, Community Development Director
DATE: May 25, 2001
SUBJECT: Community Development Inspection Costs
You have requested information relative to the costs of providing rental related inspection services. Our
primary cost is obviously the labor involved primary of which is the housing inspector. Also included
would be support staff, which would include the building official, the building inspector, the department
secretary and myself. Other costs include training, communications (cell phones and etc), supplies, capital
expenditures and at times professional services. The following is an approximation of the costs incurred
by Community Development in the providing of rental inspections.
Housing Inspector (85 %) $49,912
Building Official (15 %) 9,057
Building Inspector (10 %) 5,872
Clerical (25 %) 10,137
Community Development Director (10 %) 9,447
Supplies (20 %) 600
Communications (25 %) 530
"Training (25 %) 3,375
Capital (annual wp.1► .Aon) 1,000
Total $89,930
The cost estimate does not include the costs associated with prosecutions by the City Attorney. It does not
include the costs incurred by the department for motor vehicles nor does it include costs that may be
incurred by other departments that become involved in special cases. This expense is paid for primarily `
from rental license fees and to a minor extent from Section 8 inspections for which we receive $25 no
matter how many inspections might be required for a single unit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Sharon Knutson, City Clerk
DATE: May 1, 2001
SUBJECT: Rental License Fees
Chapter 12 of the City of Brooklyn Center Code of Ordinances requires that all rental property be licensed. The
objectives are as follows:
• to protect the character and stability of all buildings and property within the city; ,
• to correct and prevent conditions that adversely affect or are likely to adversely affect the life, safety,
general welfare, and health, including the physical, mental and social well -being of persons occupying
buildings within Brooklyn Center,
• to provide minimum standards for cooking, heating, and sanitary equipment necessary to the health and
safety of occupants of buildings;
• to provide minimum standards for light and ventilation, necessary to health and safety;
• to prevent overcrowding of dwellings by providing minimum space standards per occupant for each
dwelling unit;
• to provide minimum standards for the maintenance of existing buildings, and to thus prevent slums and
blight; and
• to preserve the value of land and buildings throughout the city.
About 75% of the Housing Inspector's time is spent inspecting rental property. When the Housing Inspector
determines that any rental property fails to meet the provisions of Chapter 12, a compliance order setting forth the
violations of Chapter 12 and ordering the owner, occupant, operator, or agent to correct such violations is issued.
On several occasions the Housing Inspector has to re- inspect and re -issue compliance orders. When a property
owner fails to comply with a compliance order within the time set, the Housing Inspector either issues a violation
tag summoning the responsible person into court or requests the issuance of a criminal complaint. The City
Prosecutor has provided prosecution services for a number of non - compliant rental property owners.
The revenue the City receives from rental licensing does not cover the cost of providing inspection services of
rental property or the cost of prosecution services. Attached is a comparison that shows the total revenue received
annually from rental license fees for the City of Brooklyn Center. The chart uses Brooklyn Center's rental
dwelling data and provides a comparison of Brooklyn Center's fees with the cities of Bloomington, Crystal, and
Brooklyn Park's fee schedule. In reviewing the attached comparison, Brooklyn Center rates are substantially
lower than the three other cities listed. As part of the budget planning process for 2002, rental license fees are
brought to your attention for review and consideration. If it is your directive to increase rental license fees to
offset the cost of inspection and prosecution 'services, a resolution is attached that would increase the rental
license fees similar to the rental license fees set by Brooklyn Park.

RE: Contractual Services Request for the Year 2002 Budget
Enclosed, please find the application for contractual services from the Brooklyn
Peacemaker Center for the year 2002. We are extremely appreciative of Brooklyn
Center's support for the year 2001 and would like to ask for your strong consideration
of the enclosed request to continue the progress that Peacemaker is making with the
youth in our community.
The Hennepin County Attorney's office no longer either funds or refers juveniles directly
to Peacemaker, however we do continue t receive eceive county referrals through Operation
DeNovo. Some of these referrals are supported by State funding (actually Federal funds
through a Title II Juvenile Justice Grant)... and 2001 is the third of this three -year grant;
we are hopeful that these funds will be available for 2002 and beyond. However, our
initiatives are to increase local support (partially through memberships) and reduce our
dependency on non - renewable state and federal grants.
Additionally, we receive State funding for diversions from the schools, through Minnesota
Youth Intervention Programs funding, for truancy and in lieu of school expulsion. These
are renewable funds, but are contingent upon a two -to -one match of local dollars. So, your
support of the juvenile program is not only critical, it becomes a double benefit in that it
greatly assits in the continuance of the student program as well. (We are also requesting
funding from Robbinsdale Schools for support of the truancy program recently developed
with Cooper High School).
Thank you for this consideration of Peacemaker in "Giving Kids a Second Chance ".

APPLICATION FOR CONTRACTUAL SERVICES
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
i (FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION /PROGRAM /AGENCY)
Date Submitted: May 30, 2001
(Application must be received by June 1 for consideration as part of the budget for the following
year.)
Applicant Organization/Program/Agency Name: Brooklyn Peacemaker Center, Inc.
Address: 7240 Brooklyn Boulevard Suite 20S
City, State, Zip: Brooklyn Center, MN SS429
Phone Number: S3S -0995
Contact Person: Pat Milton
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. Generally describe the organization, including its mission, date established, services, and goals.
Brooklyn Peacemaker Center, Inc. was established in 1984 as a mediation project; however, since 1989 the
purpose of the organization has been as it is today: The Brooklyn Peacemaker Center is a private, nonprofit
501(cJJ community service organization serving Northwest Hennepin County in providing an effective
alternative to juvenile criminal prosecution. Our mission is to work in partnership with local businesses,
schools, police and county legal system in "giving kids a second chance" by providing juvenile offenders
with a profesisonal and effective early intervention program that is both compassionate and tough.
2. Explain the areas of expertise of the organization, including a description of the range of staff
capability.
Brooklyn Peacemaker Center contracts with six to eight licensed professional counselors, who work by
appointment to address issues behind the actions which juveniles have been cited for. Employees include
two part -time Case Workers with secretarial, administrative, and social work backgrounds, and a full -time
Executive Director with communications, marketing and public relations background. The strengths of the
program, however, are the collaboration between the retail stores and the police, as well as the volunteers,
without which this program would not exist.
3. Describe the target group for services of the organization.
The juvenile program is for youth, ages 6 through 17, who are arrested for shoplifting, assault, disorderly
conduct, or other offenses on a first -time basis. The BCPD referrals are residents from any community who
shop or attend school in Brooklyn Center; the County referrals are those who offend in other areas of the
County but who reside in Brooklyn Center or the surrounding area. The Student program is for youth ages
• 12 -18 as an alternative to expulsion from school for offenses such as fighting, theft, vandalism or truancy.
The ethnic backgrounds of clients are as diverse as the community and the ratio of male to female referrals
has consistently been about equal (see attached Exhibits C and D).
—i —
4. Describe how the organization is marketed and to what geographical and demographical areas.
Awareness of this program and support comes from past participants and their families, newsletters,
newspapers, public speaking and community involvement. Specific marketing to businesses, schools,
and organizations includes personal visits. Also, memberships in organizations such as the Brooklyn
Community Chamber of Commerce, Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, and the Youth Intervention
Programs Association increase awareness of the programs as well as help identify new areas of funding.
5. Discuss the methodology employed in measuring the effectiveness of the organization.
Continual assessment surveys are taken from the parents as well as the youth at the end of their session.
Pius, a survey is conducted yearly of any or all clients who completed the program more than one year
previously... The 2001 survey shows a 94.85% success rate or nearly 5% recidivism (% who reoffend).
This rate is almost 1% lower than last year and excels over most programs in the State who strive for a
15% rate. Also, we continually receive thanks from clients and their families for how Peacemaker helped
change their lives.

8. List in -kind items requested from the City.
• None
9. Describe use of all in -kind contributions, and include estimated value of each in -kind
contribution.
September, 2000— 2 Chairs, small table and commercial coffeemaker donated — Value: $350±
October, 2000 — Contributions of itemVservices from residents and businesses to be used
as auction items for the Annual Celebration Dinner - Value: $5,000±
10. a. Describe use of volunteers.
The volunteer hours average 20 -25 hours per week and includes assessment session volunteers,
board members, advisory committees, steering committees, volunteer coordinating, telephoning,
office work, and participation in community events.
b. Describe how the use of volunteers affects or reduces your budget.
Our budget would increased by approximately 20% if we had to pay for staff to handle what our
volunteers do. Also, much of the corporate, individual and organizational donations are due to our
volunteers and their personal support as well as their encouragement of others to make donations.
11. Describe any proposed use of funds to be received from the City of Brooklyn Center to pay
wages, salaries, or benefits of employees of your organization.
100% of funds received from all sources is directed toward costs to provide services to youth and families;
of which, 55% is directed toward wages, salaries and benefits. The percentage of funds from the City
toward these areas would be proportional (see Exhibit B — 2000 BudeetI.
COMMUNITY NEED
12. Explain the community need for the proposed service.
Brooklyn Center needs the Peacemaker program to keep youth crime statistics from growing — as well
as to help youth and their families get back on track. juvenile crime carries the fastest growing crime
statistics in the nation. Our recent recidivism survey shows that nearly 95% of our youth do not
reoffend This program is effective and preventative. The end result is not only less juvenile crime,
but stronger members of a safer community.
13. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups with special needs in the
proposed service (if applicable).
Our groups with special needs include 'kids at risk'. Once these youth have completed the program,
and not reoffended, we strive to get them connected into community involvement and volunteerism.
We are continually looking for groups and organizations who are receptive to youth volunteers.
—3—
14. Describe how Brooklyn Center benefits from the services provided.
Many TAX DOLLARS ARE SAVED through reduced need for police officer time and squad car use.
Staff time is also being saved because of the stores' willingness to have their security personnel detain
the juvenile, write the report and hold the juvenile until the family arrives; they then forward the report
to the police department where the offense is entered (and verified that this is a first -time offense) before
sending the case on to Peacemaker for diversion. This program is effective and efficient First offenses,
when not stopped, progress to greater offenses. This program reduces the potential crime rate in the city
through early intervention and prevention.
15. a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the community.
The juvenile justice system.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the current needs.
The juvenile justice system is generally slow moving and overloaded; and does not usually address
root issues behind the juvenile's actions. Peacemaker works swiftly to not only address those issues,
but also to strengthen the youth so he or she is able to make better choices in the future — and not
commit any further offenses.
16. State the total numbers of people from all communities who participate or receive direct
benefits, and describe how these numbers were determined.
In 2000, Brooklyn Center Police arrested and referred over 60% of our total cases, while Hennepin
• County referred 28% (40% of those were Brooklyn Center residents), schools and other referrals were 12 %.

Data on cases received is entered first by agency referring and then by age of client, offense,
and city of residence. Additional client information is categorized and charted (see Exhibit Q.
b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklyn Center?
Because youth crime affects an entire city, we believe that 100% of the residents in Brooklyn Center
are served by the Peacemaker programs. Approximately 60% of all direct referrals in this program
are through the Brooklyn Center Police Department and /or Brooklyn Center Schools; and an average
• of 27.5 of all direct services provided are for Brooklyn Center residents (and we are only asking for
12.5% support of our budget!).

Re: PEACEMAKER — Letter of Support from a Community Partner
To Whom this may concern,
Brookdale has been •a supporter of Peacemaker for over 6 years and has recognized the
value of this organization.
Through its unique diversionary program philosophy, of "Getting Back to the Basic ", it
involves having our children accept and understand their actions and learn how to
become a productive citizen. Peacemaker's approach / philosophy of the diversionary
program works! Their track record of success, has had a direct impact to our youth,
citizens and in our business community.
Brookdale being one of those beneficiaries. We are a regional shopping center with 70
mall shop stores and 5 department stores. Peacemaker program to my knowledge has the
lowest re- offense and crime reduction and prevention statistics in the county. We view
this program as proven pay back for our businesses and we will continue to support the
Peacemaker Programs.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the Peacemaker program, please feel
free to call me at anytime.
Sincerely,
Sharon aulson

Dear Pat:
The Brooklyn Peacemaker Center continues to provide a vital service to the Brooklyn Center
community. The Brooklyn Center Police Department referred a total of 200 juveniles and status
offenders to the Brooklyn Peacemaker Center in year 2000.
The Peacemaker Juvenile Diversion Program encourages officers to refer juvenile offenders to a
community based alternative to juvenile court. The diversion process holds greater promise of
correcting behavior in the long term than other options that are available. Rather than simply
addressing the behavior, the Peacemaker Program determines the root cause of the delinquent
act. Offenders that successfully complete the program understand the impact of their actions and
the consequences that follow. The lessons in responsibility are those that last a lifetime.
The Brooklyn Peacemaker Center is a partner with the Brooklyn Center Police Department in
response to juvenile delinquency and status offenses that occur in the city. Police officers
investigating juvenile offenses rely on the Peacemaker Program to provide services that correct
delinquent behavior and reinforce positive support systems for youthful offenders.
Sincerely,
eel

S istics.
B. Type of Service Provided
Brooklyn Peacemaker Center, Inc. provides Juvenile and Student Diversions for, primarily, first -tine
offenders. Peacemaker provides a one -time session for the juvenile and his /her parent(s) /guardian(s)
th a licensed, professional counselor and a Peacemaker volunteer. The direct service provided in the
ession is ASSESSMENT AND REFERRAL. The main goal of the Assessment Session is to go beyond
the "symptoms" and discover the ROOT ISSUES behind the action. Once this becomes clear, the team
(counselor and volunteer) designs an Assessment Plan appropriate for the juvenile/ student's offense.
This plan provides accountability to the juvenile /family. For example, in the case of shoplifting, the
offender may be asked to return to the store with a written apology, have it signed by Loss Prevention
Management, and return the signed copy Peacemaker. He /she may be asked to do community service
hours, read a book pertinent to the issue and write a report on the lesson learned. Each plan is tailored
to fit each offenders /families needs. If the plan is signed and then completed within a specific time
frame, the file is not forwarded to the Court System; thus providing "a second chance ".
Frequently, the Assessment Plan includes family involvement. When a counselor discovers various
issues within the family unit, he will recommend family counseling, which will encourage the family to
work together to solve their problems and struggles. Counselors are also concerned that families learn
to communicate before situations "get out of hand" and will recommend various plans to enhance com-
munication.
C. Goals and Objectives
The goals and objectives of the Peacemaker program are for diversions from the County Attorney, local
police departments, as well as receiving diversions from the schools for any actions which would lead
to expulsion or suspension, including early truancy intervention. The assessment and referral process
0 mains the same in both programs; however the clients were to come to us by recommendations made
the school administrations to parents as an alternative or in addition to other disciplinary action.
The schools agree that, upon completion of the Peacemaker process, the student will be "given a second
chance" and taken off of probationary status; otherwise, standard disciplinary action would be imposed
for noncompliance, including the forwarding of truancy cases to the County Attorney for processing.
D. Services provided not specifically related to the goals and objectives
— Subsidy funds to assist in the cost of the session, when families are unable to pay assessment fee.
— Staff time (for approximately 3/4 of clients referred) to assist in community service referrals,
appropriate places for counseling, help in locating a name, number, book, etc.
Interpreters when necessary /requested.
Sensitivity to issues with adolescent girls /provisions made as needed.
Sensitivity to issues /concerns /cultures with "youth of color "... referrals made as appropriate.
Sensitivity /time to families with multi-level concerns /problems (these cases seem to be
increasing rapidly — quickly becoming the norm).
Quarterly educational meetings for Counselors and Volunteers regarding current issues
dictated b the kinds of cases that we are receiving. Such issues Y g c ss es me Iude:
1. Cultural Diversity — appropriate referrals and resources
2. Assessment Models — for use in families with adolescents
3. Dysfunction within the family unit
4. Asset Building in youth /family unit
5. Legal system process
. — Educational articles circulated as appropriate including books for youth on teen esteem and
peer pressure issues. Those are available to borrow at each Assessment session (and returned
for completion of the program).

E. New Initiatives
The new initiative for truancy diversions from Hennepin County, in lieu of court action, was questioned
by the Counselors, Program Committee, and Board of Directors of Peacemaker. This program has been
based upon an early intervention process, for first -time offenders; by the time a student is truant (and
ift etitionable), it is perceived that by this time the student would be considered a chronic offender. The
NWh itiative became, therefore, to focus on truancy diversions at the earliest stages — by direct referrals
from the schools, and agreements are being developed with Brooklyn Center Jr. /Sr. High School, Osseo
High School, Cooper High School and. Champlin Park High School. Additionally, referrals will con-
tinue from any/ all schools in the northwest suburbs for attendance as well as behaviorial issues.

. Within the Organization
The Board of Directors have clarified /refined the Brooklyn Peacemaker Center Mission Statement:
The Brooklyn Peacemaker Center is a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 community service organization serving Northwest
Hennepin County in providing an effective alternative to juvenile criminalprosecution. Ourmission is to workin part-
nership with local businesses, schools, police and county legal system in "giving kids a second chance" by providing
juvenile offenders with a professional and effective early intervention program that is both compassionate and tough.
The Strategic Planning process is continuing and includes a two -fold market research focusing on in-
creasing both the business and school referrals (specifically truancy at the earliest stages). A Policies
and Procedures Manual for both the Juvenile and Student Diversion programs was completed; addi-
tionally, long -range planning has included the development of Planned Giving and /or an Endowment
Fund for program longevity.
A new case manager for the Student program was hired in mid - September; Melissa Larsen began work-
ing for Peacemaker at 30 hours per week. A temporary part -time staff person was added; Julie Yang
served her internship with Peacemaker during the summer as an Administrative Assistant. She greatly
contributed to communications and program development in Asian relations due to her Hmong back-
ground and ability to speak in two dialects; she continues to volunteer while attending college.
The Peacemaker office moved to a larger location in Brooklyn Center at 7240 Brooklyn Boulevard, Suite
205. The building has high visibility, is easily located (right next to Park Center High School), and has
handicap accessibility. There are now two accessment rooms within the offices in order to increase the
vailablity of appointment times.
e Annual Dinner was held on October 12 2000 honoring retiring Rep. Phil Carruthers. The evenin
g g P g
highlighted the success of the Peacemaker program with emphasis on the "95% success rate" that the
program has exemplified over the past three years.

Recidivism (reoffense rate):
0 ach month, surveys are conducted on juveniles who completed Peacemaker diversion
one year previously and are for determining effectiveness of the program. The confiden-
tial phone survey is designed for the juvenile to answer (although responses may also be
from parents) and the surveyors must be confident that the answers are honest, or it is
noted otherwise. Additionally, juveniles /parents are asked to evaluate the program, on
a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent), and those results are averaged annually. Any addi-
tional comments are also asked for, noted, and are available for review by request.
2000 Survey results details are as follows: Number of juvenile completions in 1999: 155
Results of survey calls: Insufficient information to contact 14
Moved /wrong # or no phone 27
N/A or did not respond to messages (5 attempts) 49
Number of clients and /or parents contacted 65
Program evaluations (scale of 1 to 10) 8.45
Number of clients that did not reoffend 61
Clients that did reoffend 4
Success Rate: 94.85%
Reoffense Rate: (recidivism) 6.15%
The 2000 recidivism rate of kJ compares with the 1999 recidivism rate of 6 %, the 1998
* to of 5 %, and the 1997 rate of 8 %; with an average 4 -year recidivism ( reoffense) rate of
2 (the state average has been 13 %). Consistently, less than one in ten Peacemaker
juveniles will commit another crime!

Dear Mike:
Since 1993, CO-OP Northwest has been an extremely successful undertaking among the five cities of
Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope, Brooklyn Center, and Brooklyn Park. Besides having a positive impact,
projects initiated by this collaborative effort generate a remarkable return on the communities' investment.
During the past eight years over $3 million has been raised to support CO-OP Northwest initiatives, which
directiv suDDort each of the participating municipalities. This support has included:
• funding for community based job bank services;
(now integrated into the NW Welfare to Work effort)
• housing rehabilitation;
• construction of new housing units;
• salaries for cadets of color in city police departments;
• housing consultation services and research projects;
• development of an apartment based services delivery program (Apartments Plus);
• distribution of information through apartment managers coalition;
• and public presentations and other public relations and lobbying efforts on behalf of the five cities to
promote their positive attributes and viability, as well as to make available resources to these
communities for job growth, housing and diversity efforts.
CO-OP Northwest has been recognized with a variety of awards for its unique cooperative efforts. Awards
have been received from Partnership Minnesota that recognized this cooperation among city governments,
the Northwest Community Law Enforcement Project, and the CO-OP Northwest Community Revitalization
Corporation. The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities presented its Innovative City Award for the
Northwest Community Law Enforcement Project, acknowledging that this cooperative approach is an
effective way to address significant community issues.
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has dedicated 1.50 full time equivalent staff to this effort on
behalf of the five cities. CO-OP Northwest is an integral part of the programs and operations of the
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council. This collaborative effort continues to produce tangible and
well respected outcomes for the cities. The public relations benefits also continue to increase.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To The Board of Directors
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Northwest Hennepin Human Services
i ; A
WIN Council as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of revenues,
expenses and changes in fund balance and cash flows for the years then. ended. These'
financial statements are the responsibility of Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Council management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable as-
surance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits
provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Council as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
My audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The information presented in the accompanying sche-
dules is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements of Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council.
The information in these schedules has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in my opinion, is
fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic financial state-
ments taken as a whole.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
IRO
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was established b a j oint and coo
r�.., P� y era -
j P
tive agreement among various cities in northwest Hennepin County. The Council is
organized to jointly and cooperatively coordinate the providing of human services
within the area serviced by its members. Accounting policies adopted by the Coun-
cil conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reflect practices com-
mon to similar organizations. Significant accounting policies are described below.
Basis of Accounting - The accounts of the Council are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting. Under this method of accounting, revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Revenue Recognition - A substantial portion of the Council's revenues are
derived from grants and contributions. Revenues are recognized in the
period designated by the grantor. Grants and contributions applicable to
future periods are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue will be recog-
nized when grant eligible expenses are incurred.
Cash and Investments - The Council considers all highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments of the Council are stated at cost, which approximates market
value.
Equipment - Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight -line method over the esti-
mated useful lives of the assets. Minor equipment costs are charged to
' ? expense as purchased because the Council has determined such amounts not
to be significantly material to warrant capitalization and depreciation.
Accrued Compensated Absences - Council employees are entitled to vacation
I ' pay based upon length of employment. In addition, the Council has estab-
lished a severance pay policy which provides for payments upon termination
of employment based on accumulated sick leave accrued, subject to certain
' regulations. Vested or accumulated compensated absences are reported as
;A a liability of the Council.
Income Tax - The Council is a joint powers organization of political sub -
divisions of the State of Minnesota. As such, the Council is deemed to
be exempt from federal and state income taxes.

Note 2. Cash and Investments
Operating cash and investments of $668,277 at December 31, 2000 consist of $9,838
k:
in bank accounts, and $658,439 in brokage accounts held in safekeeping under the
name of the Council. Deposits in bank accounts are protected by depository insur-
ance. Balances in the brokage accounts deemed cash equivalents are invested in
money market funds. The market value of these investments is equal to its cost,
which is its carrying value. Collateral is not required to be provided for these
investments as additional security.
Other investments of $519,100 are certificates of deposit or commercial paper with
an original maturity date in excess of three months. These investments are recorded
at cost, which approximates market value. Investment income is recorded as earned.
Note 3. Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue of $587,074 at December 31, 2000 represents grants and contribu-
tions received by the Council which are applicable to future periods. Revenues
from these sources will be recognized as eligible program expenses are incurred.
• Note 4. Reserved Fund Balance
As of December 31, 2000, a portion of the fund balance of the Council has been re-
stricted by the Board of Directors to 1) meet emergencies and unforseen situations
that require an increase in the annual budget; 2) offset inconsistencies in cash 4_
flows to maintain payment of current operating expenses; and 3) continue current
operations in case of funding cutbacks until alternative funding is developed.
The portion of the fund balance restricted for these purposes amounted to $30,000
as of December 31, 2000. The remaining restricted fund balance of $155,383 repre-
sents unexpended proceeds from municipal contributions specified for CO -OP North-
, west programs and certain unexpended grant funds.
The designated fund balance of $391,743 as of December 31, 2000, represents invest-
ment income and other revenues designated for special projects and other tentative
plans concerning future expenditure as determined by the Board of Directors.
Note 5. Lease Commitments
s
The Council leases space for its administrative offices under a lease agreement
expiring July 31, 2003. The lease requires minimum monthly rental payments of
$2,628, through July 2001, with rent adjustments on each anniversary date through
the term of the lease.

Note 6. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide
A. Plan Description
All full -time and certain part -time employees of Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Council 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), the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund ( PEPFF),
and the Local Government Correctional Service Retirement Fund (LGCSRF), which are
cost- sharing, multiple - employer retirement plans. These plans are established and
administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356.
r°
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated
Plan members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All
new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, fire-
fighters and peace officers who qualify for membership by statute are covered by
the PEPFF. Members who are employed in a county correctional institution and are
directly responsible for the direct security, custody, and control of the county
correctional institution and its inmates are covered by the LGCSRF.
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 retire
-
went benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive
years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service.
Two methods are used to compute benefits for Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The
retiring member receives the higher of a step -rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1)
or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for
i a Basic Plan member is 2.2% of average salary for each of the first ten years of ser-
vice and 2.7% for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated
- Plan member is 1.2% of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.7% for
each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of average
_ salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for Coordinated Plan members for each year of
service. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 3.0% for each year of ser-
vice. The annuity accrual rate is 1.9% for each year of service for LGCSRF members.
For all PEPFF members, LGCSRF members, and for PERF members whose annuity is cal-
culated Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal
90. A reduced retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking
!_s 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 be-
cause 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, but
before retirement benefits begin.

Note 6. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide, continued
A. Plan Description, continued
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are cur-
rent 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 pro-
visions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
B. Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contribu-
tions. These statutes are established and amended by the state legislature. The
Council makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the amount re-
quired 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 were required to contribute 6.20% of their annual covered
salary. LGCSRF members are required to contribute 5.83% of their annual covered
salary. The Council is required to contribute the following percentages of annual
covered payroll: 11.43% for Basic Plan PERF members, 5.18% for Coordinated Plan ,
members.
F .
All employees of the Council belong to the Coordinated Plan of the PERF. The Coun-
cil's contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Fund for the years ending
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $19,408, $17,357 and $16,470, respectively.
No contributions were made to the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund during
these years. The Council's contributions were equal to the contractually required
contributions for each year as set by state statute.
Note 7. Deferred Compensation Plan
The Council offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance
with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan ,is available to all Council
employees and permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years.
Participation in the plan is optional. Investments are managed by the plan's
trustee; the choice of investment option(s) is made by the participants.
Note 8. Contingent Liabilities
The Council receives a substantial amount of revenues from grants which are subject
to audit by the granting agencies. No provision for any possible adjustments has
been provided for in the accompanying financial statements since management has
determined the amounts, if any, would not be significantly material

Dear Rex:
Enclosed, you will find a copy of the Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Council (NWHHSC) 2001 CSSA report. The report is based on community
dialogues that took place the past 6 months in the 15 cities the a9ency serves.
The information you have received is the most current and relevant information .
obtained in regards to the needs of the citizens living in the northwest Hennepin
region.
Over the next few months, NWHHSC will hold additional dialogues with
committee members and partners we work with. This information, along with
. analysis of the secondary data collected, will be incorporated into this report.
Finally, the agency will share with Hennepin County, the cities we serve as well
as the residents, recommendations for improving the quality and health of people
living in northwest Hennepin County.
If you should have questions regarding the findings, please contact Bruce
Hoheisel, Community Planner at 763- 493 -2802.
Respectfully,

NWHHSC, CSSA Report, May, 2001
Since 1972, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council ( NWHHSC) has served as the
human services planning and coordinating agency representing the fifteen cities of
northwest Hennepin County. The Community Social Services Act (CSSA) in Minnesota
requires that every county plan for the human services needs of the. citizens and that - _
citizen input be a part of the planning process. In 1981, NWHHSC was designated as the
channel through which citizen input would be gathered from the northwest Hennepin
area.
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council assesses the human services needs of the
community through its citizen representatives in a variety of ways. They represent the
efforts of the Council, the Advisory Commission, the Senior Leadership Committee, the
Mental Health Committee, the Family Services Collaborative advisory councils,
Apartments Plus group, and other committees.
Each year the Council and its citizen representatives identify current needs and issues
affecting northwest Hennepin residents. Information is gathered and analyzed relating to
the needs of target populations specified by the service areas of Hennepin County.
During the Fall of 2000 through the Spring of 2001, the Advisory Commission and the
Council completed three stages of a northwest area -wide needs assessment which is done
every three years. The first stage in the needs assessment process was a review of the
secondary data about the area, county and state. The second stage was to gather city
. specific information through community leaders dialogues held in each of the 15 cities in
the northwest Hennepin area. Also a dialogue was held with the NWHHSC Advisory
Commission. The third stage was to gather city specific information through residents
dialogues in each of the 15 cities. The final and fourth stage of the needs assessment will
be held with NWHHSC committees.
Dialogues were held to engage city leaders and residents in a dialogue about the needs of
their communities. The Nominal Group Process was used during the dialogues where
each group was asked the question, "What do you think the human services needs of
(city) will be three to five years from now? Each participant identified human service
needs relevant to their city. Then the ideas were recorded, discussed for clarification and
finally ranked. There were between five and 15 participants at most dialogues. The
following human service areas were identified as priority categories within the northwest
Hennepin area (in ranked order):
' Affordable Housing
0 Youth services
• Transportation
• Immigrant Services
'� • Senior Services
NWHHSC, CSSA Report, May, 2001
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council
• Cumulative Results for the Community Leader and Resident Dialogues
May, 2001
Cumulative results of the community leaders dialogues and the residents dialogues are
below. The numbers in parentheses are the number of times the human service area
appeared in the top five priorities in all of the dialogues within the category. For
example, under community leaders dialogues, affordable housing appeared in the top five
responses in 13 of 15 dialogues. For the residents dialogues, affordable housing appeared
in the top five responses in 11 of 13 dialogues and services for seniors appeared in the top
five responses in seven of 13 dialogues.
In order to combine the community leaders and residents dialogue results, each human
service area in each of the two categories was assigned a points value — one being the
least priority and five being the highest priority. The points were then added and the
combined top seven ranked priorities for the two groups were the result. For example,
affordable housing received five points in each category so the combined score is ten.

NWHHSC, CSSA Report, May, 2001
IDENTIFIED HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS OF NORTHWEST HENNEPIN
Affordable Housing
The gap between wages and housing costs plays and increasing role in why lower - income
people cannot afford housing. In a January 2001 report by the Office of the Legislative
Auditor it stated that average rents in the Twin Cities area increased 34 percent between
1990 and 1999, while the median household income of renters grew by only nine percent.
Minnesota has the third lowest vacancy rate in the nation. Our current rate is 1.5 %. A
healthy vacancy rate is 5 %. Of adult residents in metro shelters, 75 % -80% are working.
The average rent in ten cities within the northwest Hennepin area was $664 for a one
bedroom apartment, $815 for a two- bedroom apartment and $927 for a three bedroom
apartment as of December 2000. Since December of 1999, there was an average 7.2%
increase in rent in a majority of the cities.in the northwest Hennepin area. In 2001, the
average median market value for a single family home in the northwest Hennepin area is
$157,170 up from $125,900 in 1999, a 25% increase.
The commonly accepted definition of housing affordability is no more than 30 percent of
income for low- income households. In order for the average monthly rent in the
northwest Hennepin area ($815 for a two- bedroom) to be considered affordable a
household must earn $26,560 annually, or $12.77 per hour. Many jobs pay far lower
salaries. Half of all jobs pay under $13.50 per hour. Some of the many jobs where the
median wages are too low to allow workers to afford a typical two- bedroom apartment
include preschool teacher, teacher aide, medical records technician, retail salesperson,
cashier, teller, receptionist, file clerk, host/hostess, cafeteria attendant, restaurant cook,
medical assistant, nursing aide, home health aide, maid, janitor, child care worker, and
school bus driver.
The shortage of affordable housing is severe for individuals and families receiving public
assistance and those with mental illness. Compounding the problem is that most of the
new job growth is taking place in the suburban communities and most of the affordable
housing is concentrated in center cities.
Emergency Services continues to be a vital resource for families in emergencies. Short-
term help with food, shelter, utility payments, transportation, and clothing have prevented
families from becoming homeless.
Transportation
In suburban areas, with their more widely dispersed services and population,
transportation looms as a much more significant barrier than in the inner core cities.
About five percent of the population in Northwest Hennepin has no private vehicle and
lack of adequate bus service (or simply none) is probably the largest single barrier. The
majority of bus routes go to downtown Minneapolis with not enough intermediate
3
NWHHSC, CSSA Report, May, 2001
transfer connections for inter - suburban travel. Transportation is a significant barrier to
. families with children under age six, the elderly and disabled because of the long walk
sometimes needed to travel by bus or to transfer to another bus.
According to a June 1998 report by Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council titled
"Consolidation of Transportation Services ", existing transportation services could be
better coordinated and in some cases consolidated. Results showed that current
transportation programs are serving a wide array of needs. Many programs appear on the
surface to overlap in terms of service area and market groups served but a more detailed
analysis indicated that most programs serve slightly different customer bases.
Most non -fixed routes tend to operate during weekdays only with a majority of those
services operating only during typical business hours. Travel opportunities during other
time periods are significantly reduced. Most services operate vehicles that are old, or
have mileage or both. And most programs have funding concerns.
Individual concerns include limited flexibility, high user fees and limited access to
information. Service concerns include costs are high, coverage and availability is
limited, lack of facilities and drivers shortages. And system issues are insufficient
funding levels, lack of coordination and inefficient use of resources.
(A further analysis of the secondary data collected will be incorporated into the final
• report.)

"Knowing who makes up our
community and what their human

of helping to provide this important
Hennepin information."

Created in 1972, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council (NwxHSC) is a joint
venture of the northwest municipalities and Hennepin County. NwHHSC is responsible
for the overall research, planning and coordination of human services for the northwest
Hennepin area, which represents 15 cities with great diversity in both rural and suburban
settings in both rural and suburban settings. These cities include: Brooklyn Center,
Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Corcoran, Crystal, Dayton, Golden Valley, Hanover, Hassan,
Maple Grove, New Hope, Osseo, Plymouth, Robbinsdale and Rogers.
MISSION ANO GOALS In carrying out its mission to provide research, planning
and coordination of human services for people living in northwest Hennepin County,
Nwxxsc believes:
• Municipalities should share in the responsibility of seeing
that the human services needs of residents are met.
• Residents and consumers should play a critical role in defining their
own needs and problems, and in recommending appropriate solutions.
• Suburban residents should have access to availability of human
services within their own communities.
VALUES Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council staff has established a set of
values in order to provide innovative and quality services to the northwest
Hennepin region. We value advocating for human service needs, respecting diversity and
different perspectives and collaborating using a team approach.
"Northwest Hennepin Human Services
provides our administration and
policy makers with valid assessments
and critical decision making information.
Because human service issues cross
geographic boundaries this type
of cooperative effort is essential to
good planning."

"Robbinsdale feels that partnering
with Northwest Hennepin Human
Services Council means identifying
the human service needs of our
community and working with
residents along with Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council
to help in providing programs for
those needs."

Success By 6 Northwest
Success By G® Northwest is a community initiative launched by
the United Way of Minneapolis Area to address the barriers
to early childhood development faced by many young children.
Success By G® is a community-wide effort made up of profession-
als from government, education, human services organizations,
and citizens working together to carry out strategies to overcome
barriers to health and early childhood development. In 1989,
the United Way selected Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Council for the first replication of Success By G® due to the
significant and increasing needs of northwest area residents.
Its aim is to create a community supportive of all its children so
that they will, by age six, have all the necessary mental, physical,
social, and emotional skills before entering school. The key
to the effort is the spirit of collaboration displayed by many
dedicated partners.
Connecting to the Big Picture
The mission of NwHHSC— research, planning and coordination—
'
is evident in the daily operations of Success By G® Northwest.
Researching the various early childhood programs of our area
is the one of the main tasks of the Early Childhood Development
Committee. Planning and coordinating the networks and collabo-
rations of these identified programs is a daily task of staff.
In 2000, partners of Success By G° Northwest worked to
develop and implement strategies for the initiative's three main
goals. The goals are to build community awareness about the
crisis facing young children, improve access to services, and
expand collaborations so all sectors of the community can join in
the effort of raising healthy children.

Connecting to the Big Picture
Goals of the Apartments Plus program are to build a more sup-
portive community for residents, to provide a link between
human service providers and apartment residents, and to create
more cost - effective management. If children are involved in con-
structive activities they are less likely to display destructive
t
behavior, and are likely to benefit from individual attention and
mentoring. Residents who feel positively about their community "
are likely to stay longer, and likely to take better care of the com-
munity. Residents want activities and services that are easy to �
access, and appreciate renting from management companies that
care about the quality of life of residents. Y "" -~
These goals and benefits of the Apartments Plus program - --
mirror the goals of Northwest Hennepin Human Services
Council. Residents and consumers play a critical role in defining
their own needs and problems, and in recommending appropriate �-
solutions. NwaHsc serves suburban residents, and provides access
to human services within their own communities. The agency's
values of advocating for human service needs, respecting diver-
sity and different perspectives, and collaborating using a team W
approach are all evident tenets of the Apartments Plus program.

Dear Ms. Chambers,
Enclosed is our application for Brooklyn Center city funding.
We ask that it be given serious consideration. We provide a
much needed service for the city.
When we first began in 1983, mediation was an almost
unknown entity. We were pioneers in offering a peaceful
solution in a wide variety of disputes and in preventing relatively
minor incidents from escalating to violence. In our first fullyear of
operation, we opened 83 cases. In 2000, we opened 1095
cases. City funding has helped with that growth.
Today, mediation is being used more and more in awide
variety of disputes at all levels of government and in the public
and private arena. This year we celebrated the completion of our
18th year of service to the city. In all that time, we have never
asked for an increase in city funding. We believe that increases
in budget should be covered by other than city funds. We do,
however, need modest city funding as a base of support.
We can do more for the city and would welcome the
opportunity to speak briefly at a city staff meeting about our
services and what cases would be appropriate for mediation. We
do this with other cities and police departments.
Thank you for considering this application. If you have any
questions or concerns, please call.
Sincerely,
Veronica V. (Bonnie) Lukes

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. Generally describe the organization, including its mission, date established, services, and
goals.
North Hennepin Mediation Program Inc. (NHMP) is a nonprofit community based dispute resolution
program, that was established in 1983. We are the only state certified mediation program in
the area and were first certified in 1989. The mission of NHMP isto provide mediation services
for residents of north Hennepin County. The goals of NHMP are: a) to provide a means to manage conflict
b) to enhance and supplement the area legal system c) to educate the public about mediation and NHMP
as a community resource and d) to promote mediation as an acceptable approach to problem solving.
2. Explain the areas of expertise of the organization, including a description of the range of
staff capability.
NHMP handles a variety of disputes including: Agencies /Citizens, Builders /Homeowners,
Businesses /Consumers, Post Relationship, Family Members, Friends, Juveniles, Landlord/Tenants,
Litigants, Neighbors, Victim /Offenders, Employer /Employee, and Employee /Employee. We also do
Visitation Expediting and Property Exchange between people with a restraining order against them and
the party left in the residence. We mediate in Hennepin County Conciliation and Housing Courts, for
Family & Juvenile Court and for the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. The only cases we do not
handle are divorce, child custody, abuse and cases where violence exceeds 5th degree assault. We
facilitate large group discussion and disputes for cities and agencies. We also give Conflict Resolution
and Communication classes for businesses, schools and other entities.
The Executive Director has been a mediator since 1983, an arbitrator since 1997 and ED since
1986. She has a degree in English, Speech and Secondary Education. In 1994, she completed her mini
MBA in nonprofit management. In 1997, she completed Harvard's Advanced Leadership Training in
Violence Prevention. The Case Manager has been a mediator since 1994. She has a MA degree in
Conflict Resolution. In 2001, she completed a mini MBA in nonprofit management. The Community
Liaison joined our staff in 1998 after retiring from teaching at Brooklyn Center High School. She has
mediated for us since 1987. Our program is registered on the MN State Court Neutral Mediator roster and
the Family roster.
3. Describe the target group for services of the organization.
The target group for NHMP's services is anyone who lives or works in the north and northwest
Hennepin area and is involved in a dispute. Our services are available to all regardless of ethnic
background, age, religion, in
9 � 9 � g come or sexual orientation. We have mediated a ed ated disputes among all age
• groups from six year olds through senior citizens. Our demographic statistics attest to the fact that we
serve people of diverse ethnic backgrounds and all income levels.
1
• 4. Describe how the organization is marketed, and to what geographical and demographical
areas. NHMP services are marketed to the north and northwest areas of Hennepin County. Our
marketing efforts take many forms. We keep in close contact with our referral sources including police,
city staff, schools, Operation de Novo, lawyers, courts and community agencies. We give presentations
to a wide audience and keep referrals sources informed about the outcome of eases. We publish articles
in local newspapers and newsletters. Our posters and brochures are displayed in public places, including
Brooklyn Center Family Resource Center and the library and we advertise in the yellow pages. We have
booths at various events. We have spoken to schools, at Point Northwest, in Hennepin County Probate
Court, Bench and Bar meetings, GAP Runaway Program, Senior Leadership .Forum and the local
Leadership Program. We constantly work on letting people know about the benefits of mediation and the
use of NHMP as a resource for solving problems.
5. Discuss the methodology employed in measuring the effectiveness of the organization.
In accordance with state guidelines, we keep statistics regarding the outcome of mediations. We also
make follow up calls to clients to determine compliance with mediated settlements. In 2000, 90% of
voluntarily mediated cases resulted in a Settlement Agreement. There was compliance in 95% of those
cases. Co- mediators evaluate one another to make sure that the highest standards of mediation
excellence prevail in our program. Finally, before closing a case, we survey disputants to evaluate our
services. The satisfaction rate is consistently high and in 2000 was 98 %.

7. List all other funding organizations explored and the outcome.
I n addition to reapplying to past funding sources, we are constantly on the lookout for new sources of
funding. We have applied to the Management Assistance Program for help in upgrading our technology.
We are trying to generate income by presentations on conflict Resolution to various groups. We are
looking at new ways to raise funds on an ongoing basis. Our Board of Directors initiated a successful
• fundraising dinner in 2000 and are looking to repeat that success in 2001. We constantly seek diversity in
funding.

10. a. Describe use of volunteers.
Volunteers continue to be the backbone of our organization. We currently have 47
mediators and 10 board members. In addition, volunteers staff our development, finance,
nominating and planning committees. In 2000, these volunteers contributed over 6915 hours
to the program. Mediations alone valued at $125 per hour equal over $150,000. Volunteer
time exceeds staff time. 20 of our mediators have been with us 5 or more years.
b. Describe how the use of volunteers affects or reduces your budget.
Private mediators charge a substantial fee for their services. If we had to pay mediators to
serve our clients, our budget would more than double. Paying for in -kind contributions, now
being done by volunteers, would in itself add $9,800 to our budget. Because of all the work
done by volunteers, we are able to manage with on one full -time and two part-time paid staff.
11. Describe any proposed use of funds to be received from the City of Brooklyn Center to pay
• wages, salaries, or benefits of employees of your organization.
We request permission to use some of the money for Program Manager and other staff time
dealing directly with clients, i.e. intake, education, setting up the mediation and followup.
COMMUNITY NEED
12. Explain the community need for the proposed service.
Wherever there are people, there is conflict. It is an inevitable fact of life. Because of the
escalation of violence in our society, it is now, more than ever, necessary to offer people a
peaceful way of settling disputes. Learning to deal with conflict in a constructive way is an art
that can be learned and applied to a variety of situations. Mediation empowers people to
resolve their own disputes and gives them tools and options for handling future disputes.
NHMP provides the mechanism for settling problems before they escalate to the need for
police, city or court intervention. The community needs away to help people handle their own
disputes in order to free city and police personnel to handle matters that need their particular
expertise. NHMP provides that way.
13. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups with special needs in the
proposed service (if applicable).
When people are able to settle disputes without violence, the whole community benefits.
The disputants gain a sense of self worth from being able to resolve a problem, and in terms
acceptable to them. The community gains when disputes are settled before they become a
major and potentially violent situation.
Since our services have no barriers to its use, we have accommodated differently abled
clients and parties involved in large group disputes. We have had interpreters for hearing
• impaired disputants and also for people who speak another language. We have actively
recruited minority mediators and our office is handicapped accessible
3
14. Describe how Brooklyn Center benefits from the services provided.
As explained in number 12, Brooklyn Center benefits when its residents have a speedy, efficient
means to resolve conflicts. Mediation works well in a variety of cases that affect the well being of
Brooklyn Center residents. Whether it's a Human Rights case, a neighborhood case, a landlord /tenant
case or a victim /offender case, if relationships can be preserved while at the time stopping disruptive
behavior, both residents and the city benefit.
15. a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the community.
We are the only community based, state certified, nonprofit organization offering mediation services to
the community. The only alternative available to residents seeking mediation are for fee services. These
private practices lack the diversity of mediators and the 18 years of successful experience that we have.
They also lack consistent monitoring of mediators that assures high quality mediation services.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the current needs.
The majority of our clients cannot afford a fee. Our no cost to client services eliminates a
big stumbling block to trying mediation. Because we have 47 mediators, we can match
mediators to client needs i.e. a arent teacher or would p o counselor ou d be best m tune with the needs
of juveniles, while a business person could best meet the needs in a business case. Because we use the
co- mediator model, we can supply mediators that meet the needs of both sides in a dispute, i.e.
male /female, detail oriented mediators match with "feeling" people etc. Private mediation services lack
this diversity.
Because we have been in the community since 1983, we have developed a rapport with state,
county and city entities. Our integrity is well known throughout the area. We have developed
a varied and consistent source for referrals and are immediately thought of when a new service
is needed, i.e. a place where people who have a restraining order against them, can pick up needed items.
The service was requested by a judge and a city attorney who were familiar with our program. Our
9 Y Y P 9
reputation brings in new sources of referrals on a regular basis.
• 16. State the total numbers of people from all communities who participate or receive direct
benefits, and describe how these numbers were determined.
PROJECTED TOTAL
TOTAL SERVED TO BE SERVED
LAST YEAR NEXT YEAR
7817 over 8000
The total number of people served in 2000 comes directly from our state required statistics
and includes not only hose who mediated, y m d ated, but also those who called for information and/or
referral to appropriate agencies, and various presentations. We arrived on the total for next year
based on the cases opened so far in 2001.
17. a. State the number of residents from Brooklyn Center only who are served, and
describe how these numbers were determined.
PROJECTED TOTAL
TOTAL SERVED TO BE SERVED
LAST YEAR NEXT YEAR
320 350
In
2000, 220 Brooklyn Center residents were served through an actual mediation. The rest were served
through information referrals, informational booths, adults and juveniles on probation classes and
presentations to organizations. The projected number is based upon past experience and trends in
mediation.
b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklyn Center?
•
In 2000, 4% of our cases involved Brooklyn Center residents. Brooklyn Center provided 2.9% of our
budget covering those cases. Brooklyn Center residents served could be substantially increased as we
add new services and by increased referrals from the city.

ORGANIZATION NEED
VW. What would be the consequences to your organization of not receiving the amount
requested ?
Because we have always sought a wide base of funding, we would continue to operate.
Certain things however would occur. 1. Staff time would have to be spent replacing these
funds to the determent of direct service to disputants. 2. We would have to cut back on
outreach efforts to Brooklyn Center residents. 3. The board would consider charging a fee for
service for clients, which interferes with angry people's willingness to mediate. 4. Brooklyn
Center would n o longer receive a report of our activities. 5. Staff would have to resign from the
Brooklyn Center Resource Center Advisory Board, the Family Services Collaborative
Commission and the NWHFSC Mental Health Task Force.
The following supporting documentation must accompany this application. If any item is not
enclosed, please explain why not.
1. Financial statement for the preceding fiscal year.
2. Proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
3. Date (backup documentation) substantiating the need for this service in Brooklyn Center.
4. Proof of nonprofit status.
5. List of current Board of Directors.

RE: North Hennepin Mediation Program, Inc.
I am writing this letter in support of the North Hennepin Mediation Program, Inc. They have mediated
Housing Court matters in Hennepin County over the last 11 years. Their mediators are professional,
experienced and reliable. They are a tremendous help to the courts and litigants in terms of saving judicial
resources and resolving difficult issues.
North Hennepin has been providing mediation services for Hennepin County in several areas. In addition
they have successfully mediated Conciliation Court cases in our Brooklyn Center division for the past
several years. Their success in Brooklyn Center was used to help develop the Mandatory Mediation
Program currently being used in Conciliation Court. Based upon an order from the Minnesota Supreme
Court, the Mandatory Mediation Program was implemented in Hennepin County in May of 1999, and
North Hennepin has been an integral part of its success. North Hennepin is currently providing up to two
mediators per day, two days per week for this program. They have shown a willingness to work with the
courts and have been flexible to our needs and professional in every way. They are very reliable and set a
wonderful example for other mediation programs.
It has been my pleasure to work with Bonnie Lukes and the mediators of North Hennepin Mediation and I
look forward to a continued working relationship with them in the future.

months. (99922)

It's working.
Everything is okay! Thanks for keeping us from having more problems at school.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I won't ever do anything like I did again. It's not
worth it.
I'm glad I could get this done with.
It was a dumb thing to do.
I'm sorry about what happened. It will not happen again. Next time I will think before I
react.
I learned and won't do this again.
I had to make up for what I did and I'm glad I'm done.
I am so sorry for what I did in the past. I have learned that just because I'm stressed it
doesn't make it right to steal.
I'm glad we're done with the whole deal.
• I made some wrong decisions and I did not think of the consequences.
From now on, I'm going to think before I do anything stupid and not do it.
Thanks.
I know I was wrong.
It was wrong and I won't do it again.
I'm glad I had a chance to make up for it. It was dumb and I won't do it anymore.
I won't do it again.
Working to make up for it wasn't fun, and I won't be doing any more damage.
I wished I didn't do it.
I learned from all this.
I apologize for my action.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. Generally describe the organization, including its mission, date established,
services, and goals.
PRISM began as a social action center in 1972. In 1983, the organization was incorporated
as a Minnesota non - profit social service agency. Today, PRISM continues its food and
clothing distribution, financial assistance, and emotional support services. In 1988, PRISM
developed what has become a very successful Elder Express Transportation program. With
an increasing senior population in our service area we expect to provide over 10,000 rides
during 2001. Approximately 12% (1,325) of these rides over the next year are expected from
our service specifically to Brooklyn Center residents. This is up from 9% this past year. In
addition, we expect to bring 500 non - Brooklyn Center resident riders INTO Brooklyn Center
businesses during the year. In fiscal 2000, PRISM brought 441 non - Brooklyn Center
residents to do their business in Brooklyn Center, and, in 1999 there were 120.
Currently, PRISM has a support base of individuals, organizations, local city governments,
civic groups, foundations, businesses, and 18 member churches.
The mission of PRISM is to "walk alongside families by providing support -based programs
that encourage self-sufficiency".
PRISM's current organizational goals include:
Oraanizational Initiatives
1. Continue implementation of our 10 -year Vision Plan and current 3 Year
Strategic Plan
• 2. Always explore new opportunities to provide service within our mission
3. Support our current staff with training opportunities
a
4. Hire and train staff to support organizational growth needed to meet growing
• demographic of populations served
5. Share Vision /Mission openly in the community
6. Create "real value" by successfully developing /implementing programs that
respond and serve the needs of families
7. Achieve and maintain profitability at all times
8. Maintain a positive cash flow
9. Closely manage our expenses, particularly with Elder Express (rising gas &
maintenance costs)
10. Work closely with new chairpersons for both Executive Board and Church
Partnership Board to develop future strategies that met the needs
11. Continue to develop internal systems that provide accurate measurable
outcomes
2. Explain the areas of expertise of the organization, including a description of the
range of staff capability.
• Program Management & Advancement
All programs (including Elder Express) report to Elizabeth M. Johnson, our
Executive Vice President of Programs. Ms Johnson, a licensed social worker,
has served in a variety of positions with PRISM since 1995. There are also now
two full -time case managers to work closely with our clients.
• • Elder Express
This critical program offered in Brooklyn Center, and throughout the other five
communities we serve, is staffed by Carolyn Wick, Transportation Manager, five
paid drivers and about 15 part-time volunteer drivers, many who have served
PRISM for a number of years.
• Organizational Management, Fundraising & Strategic Planning
Dale M. Fagre, President/CEO manages these areas. After serving for a year
as a volunteer consultant, Mr. Fagre joined PRISM early in 1999. He previously
served as a senior executive with other non - profit groups; and, co- founded a
high -tech company. Later this year, a new full -time Director of Fund
Development will join the team.
3. Describe the target group for services of the organization.
Low to moderate - income families, elderly and those with disabilities
4. Describe how the organization is marketed, and to what geographical and
demographical areas.
• PRISM has been in existence since 1972, and, in the same location since 1994. Consistency
in our mission and services has lead to our visibility in the communities we serve. In addition,
2
we have 18 member congregations and six cities referring people to us. We serve children,
. families, individuals and the elderly (some with disabilities) in the communities of Brooklyn
Center (Elder Express), Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope, Robbinsdale and eastern
Plymouth.
In addition, PRISM continues to update brochures and posters that are distributed around our
service area, including a dozen senior facilities throughout Brooklyn Center.
5. Discuss the methodology employed in measuring the effectiveness of the
organization.
The measuring of PRISM's work is done through gathering of statistical information as well as
client, staff, and partnering organizations' feedback.
In addition to the supporting statistical data we ultimately enjoy program success as clients we
have walked alongside experience strides toward self - sufficiency. That is true success!
An Executive Board of Directors governs PRISM, and oversees the efficient and effective
functioning of the organization in the community. The Executive Board members also volunteer
serving people in our many program areas. Also, PRISM has a Church Partnership Board that
largely functions as a communicator to the churches and community at large. This personal
connection is an important measurement for these Boards as they actively evaluate and critique
our successes and challenges.
PRISM also answers to the cities we serve. Evaluations are done informally through each city's
funding committee, community support of churches, and other networking agencies.

TOTAL $309,009
10. a. Describe use of volunteers.
For years PRISM has had more than 100 faithful volunteers who provide their time and
energy in many of the following areas: food shelf, clothes closet, receptionist, office assistant,
drivers, events, tax preparation, car care clinics, legal advocacy, etc.
b. Describe how the use of volunteers affects or reduces your budget.
In our most recent fiscal year our volunteers donated 10.800 hours of service to PRISM, or
the equivalent of 5 full -time employees. This currently saves our budget about $160,000 in
salaries and benefits annually.
11. Describe any proposed use of funds to be received from the City of Brooklyn
Center to pay wages, salaries, or benefits of employees of your organization.
PRISM calculates total wages, salaries (no benefits), for our Elder Express services in
Brooklyn Center to be approximately $12,777. Since the budget has PRISM covering a net
loss ($1,937) in expenses over income, we anticipate that ($12,777 - $1,937), or $10,840
(54 %) of the overall proposed budget of $19,912 is to be covered by Brooklyn Center for
wages and payroll taxes. In addition. this budaet does not include anv other internal overhead
costs (marketing. administration. unexpected maintenance. etc.) also covered by PRISM.
Therefore, we are respectfully requesting $14,000 in funding this year.
COMMUNITY NEED
12. Explain the community need for the proposed service.
Since 1998, PRISM has enjoyed serving at the request of Brooklyn Center to provide our
Elder Express transportation services. The number of elderly (65 years +) in Brooklyn Center
was 3,546 in the most recent census. This represented 12% of the population. With a
growing overall senior population we assume this may be now be higher. In addition, a
majority of the elderly population we serve are low-income and clearly have a need for our
low cost/no cost (donation) service. Based on the most recent census, PRISM in the most
current year provided transportation services to 125 of Brooklyn Center's elderly population,
versus 111 last year.
• 13. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups with special
needs in the proposed service (if applicable).
5
Elder Express does not actively promote providing transportation for those with special
needs, however we do regularly do so.
14. Describe how Brooklyn Center benefits from the services needed.
PRISM's Elder Express gives Brooklyn Center seniors a very affordable and flexible
transportation option. We provide appointments with only a 2 -day advance. In addition, we
strive to be flexible and do regularly accommodate last minute situations.
15.a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the
community.
Private transportation services, buses, cabs, and Metro Mobility are each available to
Brooklyn Center senior residents.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not filling the current needs.
We believe all transportation services genuinely try to do a professional job. However, there
are differences. The private transportation services and cabs are generally able to come on
short notice, however, they are very expensive, in particular, to those on a fixed budget. With
Metro Mobility, as we understand, it can take 30 days to get into their system once a person
registers, and then appointments must be made four (4) days in advance.
16. State the total numbers of people from all communities who participate or receive
direct benefits, and describe how these numbers were determined.
PROJECTED TOTAL
TOTAL SERVED TO BE SERVED
LAST YEAR NEXT YEAR
9,796 (3,518 families) over 9,800
This includes all the clients we serve in case management and our Elder Express
riders. PRISM maintains records on every case we manage and every ride we
provide.
17. a. State the numbers of residents from Brookivn Center only who are served, and
describe how these numbers were determined.
PROJECTED TOTAL

LAST YEAR (2000) NEXT YEAR
125 residents /1,185 rides 140 residents /1325 rides
Last year we projected 125 residents /1,000 rides, and the numbers above exceeded
this projection. In 1999, we provided 111 residents with 875 rides.
• (PRISM keeps records of all people who call us for an appointment to ride
p pp )
6
• b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklyn Center?
Overall Elder Express had 750 senior clients in 2000 (125 are from Brooklyn Center)
representing 16% of our total clients and about 12% of the total number of rides
provided by our PRISM Elder Express program.
ORGANIZATION NEED
18. What would be the consequences o organization t q s t your organizat o of no receiving the amount
requested?
PRISM would possibly need to reduce our Elder Express transportation services to Brooklyn
Center, or charge higher ride fees. However, this goes against our mission to provide
affordable, safe, and available transportation for those who need it. Our plan is to grow the
Elder Express transportation service. PRISM currently covers more than 50% of the overall
cost (including all designated operating overhead) to support Brooklyn Center with Elder
Express and this will continue to increase with projected growing numbers if support from
Brooklyn Center is not increased. The huge increase in gasoline prices has already put a
strain on our overall expenses since the number of rides continues to increase each month.
The following supporting documentation must accompany this application. If any item
is not enclosed, please explain why not.
1. Financial statement for the preceding fiscal year.
2. Proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
3. Data (backup documentation) substantiating the need for this service in Brooklyn
Center.
4. Proof of nonprofit status.
5. List of current Board of Directors.
6. Job Descriptions and resumes of key personnel.

Dear Applicant.
Based on information supplied, and assuming your operations will be as
stated in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined
you are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code as an organization described in section 501(c)(3).
We have further determined that you are not a private foundation within
the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code, because you are an organization
described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(v).
If your sources of support, or your purposes, character, or method of
operation change, please let us know so we can consider-'the effect of the
change on your exempt status and foundation status. In the case of an amend-
ment to your organizational document or bylaws, please send us a copy of the
amended document or bylaws. Also, you should inform us of all changes in your
name or address.
As of January 1, 1984, you are liable for taxes under the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100
or more you pay to each of your employees during a calendar year. You are
not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).
Since you are not a private foundation, you are not subject to the excise
taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, if you are involved in an excess
benefit transaction, that transaction might be subject to the excise taxes of
section 4958. Additionally, you are not automatically exempt from other
federal excise taxes. If you have any questions about excise, employment, or
other federal taxes, please contact your_ key district office.
Donors may deduct contributions to you as provided in section 170 of the
Code. Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to you or for your use
are deductible for federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the
applicable provisions of Code sections 2055, 210 6, and 2522.
• Contribution deductions are allowable to donors only to the extent that
their contributions are gifts, with no consideration received. Tic{. pur-
chases and similar payments in conjunction with fundraising events may not
Attachinent4 Letter 947 (DO /06)
PROJECT PEACE
necessarily qualify as deductible contributions, depending on the circum-
stances. See Revenue Ruling 67 -246, published in Cumulative Bulletin 1967 -2,
on page 104, which sets forth guidelines regarding the deductibility, as chari-
table contributions, of payments made by taxpayers for admission to or other
participation in fundraising activities for charity.
In the heading of this letter we have indicated whether you must file Form
990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. If Yes is indicated, you
are required to file Form 990 only if your gross receipts each year are
normally more than $25,000. However, if you receive a Form 990 package in the
mail, please file the return even if you do not exceed the gross receipts test.
If you are not required to file, simply attach the label provided, check the
box in the heading to indicate that your annual gross receipts are normally
$25,000 or less, and sign the return.
If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth
month after the end of your annual accounting period. A penalty of $20 a day
is charged when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for
the delay. However, the maximum penalty charged cannot exceed $10,000 or
5 percent of your gross receipts for the year, whichever is less. For
• organizations with gross receipts exceeding $1,000,000 in any year, the penalty
is $100 per day per return, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay.
The maximum penalty for an organization with gross receipts exceeding
$1,000,000 shall not exceed $50,000. This penalty may also be charged if a
return is not complete, so be sure your return is complete before you file it.
You are required to make your annual return available for public
inspection for three years after the return is due. You are also required
to make available a copy of your exemption application, any supporting
documents, and this exemption letter. Failure to make these documents
available for public inspection may subject you to a penalty of $20 per day
for each day there is a failure to comply (up to a maximum of $10,000 in the
case of an annual return).
You are not required to file federal income tax returns unless you are
subject to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code.
If you are subject to this tar,, you must file an income tax return on Form
990 -T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. In this letter we are
not determining whether any of your present or proposed activities are unre-
lated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code.
You need an employer identification number even if you have no employees.
If an employer identification number was not entered on your application, a
number will be assigned to you and you will be advised of it. Please use that
number on all returns you file and in all correspondence with the Internal
• Revenue Service.
This determination is based on evidence that your funds are dedicated
to the purposes listed in section 501(c)(3) of the Code. To assure your
continued exemption, you should keep records to show that funds are expended
Letter 9 A_ 7 ( DOIC1 i
PROJECT PEACE
only for those purposes. If you distribute funds to other organizations, your
records should show whether they are exempt under section 501(6)(3). In cases
where the recipient organization is not exempt under section 501(6)(3), there
should be evidence that the funds will remain dedicated to the required
purposes and that they will be used for•th05e purposes by the recipient.
If distributions are made to individuals, case histories regarding the
recipients should be kept showing names, addresses, purposes of awards, manner
Of selection, relationship (if any) to members, officers, trustees or donors of
funds to yau, so that any and all distributions made to individuals can be
substantiated upon request by the Internal Revenue Service. (Revenue Ruling
56 -304, C.B. 1956 -2, page 306.)
If you are a wholly -owned instrumentality of a state or a political sub-
division of a state, Wages paid for services performed for you are not subject
to unemployment taxes under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) or to any
portion of the social security taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions
Act (FICA). Wages of 'our employees hired after March 31, 1986 are subject to
only the medicare portion of the social security tax. If you want full social
security coverage for your employees, it may be obtained only by an agreement
under section 218 of the Social Security Act between the state and the Secre-
tary of Health and Human Services. ,
Any questions you may have concerning your liability. for FICA or FUTA
taxes should be addressed to the Internal Revenue Service, Office of the
Associate Chief Counsel (Employee Benefits and Exempt Organizations), CC:EBEO,
Room 5213, P. 0. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, D.C. 200044.
If we have indicated in the heading of this letter that an addendum
applies, the enclosed addendum is an integral part of this letter.
Because this letter could help resolve any questions about your exempt
status and foundation status, you should keep it in your permanent records.
If you have any questions, please contact the person whose name and
telephone number are shown in the heading of this letter.
Sincerely yours,
District Director
