SUBJECT: Contractual Services Review - 1996 Budget
The Brooklyn Center Human Rights & Resources Commission has completed its
interview and review process for 1996 contractual services in the human service area. As
directed by Council, we reviewed seven organizations. Attached is our ranking and
results.
One of our members chose to abstain from voting on any of the contractual services to
ensure there was no perceived conflict of interest. Another of our members did not vote
on two of the contractual services, again to ensure there was no perceived conflict.
I am forwarding our recommendations to you at this time to assist in your 1996 budget
process.

Dear Ms. Gohman:
In response to your letter dated May 18, 1995, enclosed please
find our application for contractual services with the City of
Brooklyn Center. Our contract for 1995, was for $10,000. Our
request for 1996, is for $15,000. The additional $5,000 will
assist in funding our referral base to include "runaway referrals."
Because of the nature of these referrals, our licensed counselors
feel that these juveniles and their families will require two to
three sessions to correctly assess and make appropriate referrals.
If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to call
me at 535 -0995.
Thank you for your time and consideration as we look forward to
another year of support from the City of Brooklyn Center and the
Brooklyn Center Police Department.

1. GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING ITS MISSION, DATE ESTABLISHED,
SERVICES, AND GOALS:
Brooklyn Peacemaker Center's Juvenile Diversion Program is designed to divert
involvement of youth in the Juvenile Justice System. Peacemaker is a direct -
service, non - profit agency, providing assessment and referral to each youth/
family referred to the program. A community based program, Peacemaker works
cooperatively with law enforcement and community agencies to provide services
primarily to first -time offenders (misdemeanor), and their families. Referrals
from the above agencies are provided a one -time assessment with a professional
counselor and a trained volunteer. Clients range in age from 6 to 17 -plus
years. The family structure may vary from a traditional two - parent family to
single parents, foster parents, close relative, or juveniles living indepen-
dently in the community. The juvenile offenders serviced by this program
represent varied socio- economic and racial backgrounds. Offenses include
shoplifting, property damage, disorderly conduct, motor vehicle tampering,
runaways, trespassing, and other miscellaneous offenses. The primary GOALS
are to:
- Divert youth from the Juvenile Justice System;
- Address the ROOT problems rather than simply the behaviors;
- Assess and refer to appropriate agencies - i.e. age, culture, ethnicity,
gender, and issue specific counseling needs.
- Create a safer environment by working with local law enforcement and
business /community agencies.
2. EXPLAIN THE AREAS OF EXPERTISE OF THE ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION
OF THE RANGE OF STAFF CAPABILITY
Our program offers the expertise of licensed professional counselors, most of
whom have sub - specialties. They all have at least a Masters Degree and either
have or are working towards their Ph.D. They facilitate the assessment session
and their training enables them to diagnose areas of vulnerabilities within
the family system. They have an extensive knowledge of Hennepin County
community resources necessary for referrals.
Both the Volunteer program and the Board of Directors are an integral
part of the program. Volunteers are trained by a professional counselor and
participate in the process by representing the community and assisting the
counselor in appropriate restitution recommendations. The program has over
60 volunteers representing ethnic,race, age, gender, and educational diversity.
Interpreters are available when we are aware that one is needed. The Board
of Directors is an active group, lending support, direction and ideas to keep
the program as service oriented and effective as possible.
The staff includes a Case Manager, who checks with the family during the
accountability period to assist with questions and referrals. MANY cases
require ongoing encouragement and support. The Program and Administrative
Directors work as a "team" in providing expertise in program management,
volunteer coordination, and working with /and providing information to the
community.

3. DESCRIBE THE TARGET GROUP FOR SERVICES OF THE ORGANIZATION:
Population served by Brooklyn Peacemaker includes:
-first time juvenile offenders ages 6 -17 -plus, and their families (misdemeanor
offenses only.)
- varying ranges of family structures - socio- economic levels - ethnic and cultural
diversity.
- currently serving an increase in female adolescent population, directly coorelated
to changes in the surrounding community.
4. DESCRIBE HOW THE ORGANIZATION IS MARKETED, AND TO WHAT GEOGRAPHICAL AND
DEMOGRAPHICAL AREAS:
The program is marketed primarily within the City of Brooklyn Center because of
its direct service and location to the city and community. The majority of the
program referrals come directly from Brooklyn Center merchants via the Brooklyn
Center Police Department. The program is also recognized and promoted by
Hennepin County through Operation DeNovo, which recognizes Brooklyn Peacemaker
Center as one of their approved agencies for diversion referral. The program
has been marketed through the following sources:
- Brooklyn Center Newsletter;
- Northwest News and Brooklyn Center Sun -Post;
- Distribution of brochures;
- Presentations made to local businesses, service and civic organizations,
schools, churches, and law enforcement agencies;
- Liaison to Brookdale Management and retailers at Brookdale Mall.
5. DISCUSS THE METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED IN MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE
ORGANIZATION:
The effectiveness of the program is measured by the client's restitution made upon
completion of a prescribed treatment agreement. Completion of the agreement is
reviewed by the Case Manager and then referred to the Brooklyn Center Police
Department so completion can be recognized and noted. A 6 -month follow-up call
g P
is then made to determine the recidivism rate and clients progress. The
effectiveness of the assessment session is measured by a Participation
Evaluation Survey. Both the juvenile and parent /guardian complete the survey
after the session. This evaluation indicates impact and thoroughness of the
session. It also indicates the clients understanding and awareness should the
situation reoccur.

was made to the Minneapolis Foundation, Undesignated Funds Program.
Because of the limitations of funding, our program was denied because
they fund Point Northwest in the "northern location ".
- Currently exploring General Mills and Slumberland for a contribution towards
a computer. We expect a response within the next few weeks.

10. The Peacemaker Center relies on the help of volunteers. The Program has over
60 volunteers providing services in numerous areas of the program. All members
of the Board of Directors are volunteers. They meet on a monthly basis to determine
policy and advise on the development and management of the program. In addition,
volunteers serve on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board provides assistance
with public relations, program development, evaluation and fundraising.
The number of volunteer hours being donated result in considerable monetary
savings to the organization. As representatives from the community, our
volunteers send a clear message of support to the goals of the program and to
the community.
11. EXPLAIN THE COMMUNITY NEED FOR THE PROPOSED SERVICE.
The City of Brooklyn Center has the opportunity to address a specific issue/
concern within the community. Because the Peacemaker program can begin processing
cases within 3 -5 working days, it can assess the client while the issue is
still current and can intervene before another offense occurs. (The "County"
currently averages 3 -4 months to begin processing.)

The community at large is concerned about the prevention of crime.
With the response of volunteer participation, it is apparent that the
community is concerned and willing to assist programs that deal with
offenders at the "onset" of delinquency. We continue to receive direct
support from the Brooklyn Center Police Department, Brookdale merchants,
and Brookdale Management regarding the importance of the apprehension and
processing of the first time juvenile offender.
The business community is aware that a program that can deal with first
time offenders in a timely and effective manner is truly an asset to the
community.
12. The Peacemaker Program has a Subsidy Fund available for families needing
financial assistance. Peacemaker has not denied any appropriate juvenile
from receiving juvenile diversion services. The program services varying
ranges of family structure - socio- economic levels - ethnic and cultural
diversity.
13. The City of Brooklyn Center benefits from the results and responses that
we hear from clients, parents, and the referring community. The impact of
being
caught, g o t, written up, and taken to the police station to wait for a
parent has a lasting impression. The accountability that the program
places on the juvenile by having them go back to the store, apologize
verbally, and in writing, along with giving community service hours,
has a lasting impact on the client.
The Brooklyn Center school system benefits from this program as we are
willing to cooperate with "in house" programs. This service also provides
the opportunity to strengthen the working relationship between the police
department, the business community and the residents of the city.
The Hennepin County Attorneys Office recognizes the Peacemaker program as
a noteworthy and viable diversion program, giving it's "stamp of approval"
as a reputable service to the community.
14. A. None at the present. Brooklyn Peacemaker Center provides a unique service
to the Cit of Brooklyn Center.
B. N/A
15. Total Number of Clients Served in 1994 were 203.
The Projected Number of Clients to be Served in 1995 (as per quarterly
statics)will be approximately 384.
16. The total number of clients served from Brooklyn Center in 1994 were 55.
The projected number of clients to be served from Brooklyn Center this
year is projected to be around 100 -plus clients. (This would be in
direct coorelation with our first quarter statistics and anticipated
increase in juvenile offender referrals.)

16b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklyn Center?
In 1994, 24}' were residents from Brooklyn Center. (An increase from 1993.)
17. What would be the consequences to your organization of not receiving the
amount requested?
There would be significant cut -backs in the program without the requested
funding from the City of Brooklyn Center. It would weaken the financial
structure of the program, as well as overloading the staff and cuonselors
to an extremely stressful level. It would also be a message to the
merchant and business communities, suggesting diminished support from the
City.
We are requesting $15,000 for the upcoming fiscal year of 1996. This will
help to cover the anticipated increase in number of referrals. As we are
now accepting referrals for Runaway Youth, additional resources will be
necessary in processing these clients and their families.

Re: Peacemaker Center
To Whom It May Concern:
I have spent more than fifteen years in criminal- -
justice, the last ten as a trial judge. I have done my
daily work in the context of a larger exploration into
the dynamics of crime, trying to understand criminal
violence, in particular. The clearest and most consistent
lesson in my work is that criminal behavior arises, in a
relentless and cruelly logical way, from childhood neglect
Y g Y. g t
and abuse. Of course, not all children who are hurt and
unsupported become criminals, but virtually all serious
criminals were abused and neglected as children.
Peacemaker Center is a hugely valuable program
because it reaches young people and responds to their
needs before they have moved so far into criminality that
they cannot be helped to grow into healthy adults. It is
a sad irony that, in most of Minnesota, the surest way
for a young person to get help is to hurt someone else
badly.
Peacemaker Center responds fully and appropriately
to kids. It does not settle for dealing with symptoms,
recognizing that small transgressions may be minor
detours by healthy, well- supported kids or may be signs
of serious problems needing complex, creative adult
intervention. Peacemaker's emphasis on restitution
clearly conveys the message that victimizing others is
.never acceptable and that the damage we do can be, and
must be, redressed.
The Peacemaker program is a pioneer in collaborative,
whole - person intervention work with young people. It
continues to be essential, deserving the highest level

Dear Ms. Dimond:
I am writing in behalf of the Brooklyn Center Police Department to express our
appreciation for the Brooklyn Peacemaker Center Juvenile Diversion Program.
The Brooklyn Peacemaker Center has been serving Brooklyn Center and surrounding
communities since 1984. The Brooklyn Center Police Department appreciates the close
working relationship that has developed between the Brooklyn Peacemaker Center and our
department. The free exchange of information authorized by the Hennepin County Juvenile
Court has allowed the Brooklyn Center Police Department to appropriately refer first time
juvenile property offenders to your outstanding program. The overwhelming case load that
has been placed on the Hennepin County Juvenile Court System has, unfortunately, left
many first time offenders without meaningful evaluation or sanctions. Your program has
allowed our agency to divert selected juvenile offenders to a community based program.
Your utilization of professional counselors to assess the underlying cause of delinquent
behavior is valuable in determining the appropriate program or treatment for the juvenile
offenders.
Your Juvenile Diversion Program enjoys the support of the Brooklyn Center Police
Department and the business community due to its prompt and effective method of dealing
with youthful offenders.
Your innovative program is a fine example of a police and community partnership designed
to assist wayward youth in becoming productive citizens.

August 10, 1994
Mr. Leonard Axelrod
Court Administration '
Hennepin County Government Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55487
Dear Mr. Axelrod:
Listed below is the information you requested regarding "How to measure
the effectiveness of our program." The Brooklyn Peacemaker's, Juvenile
Diversion Program was established in 1984. At that time, the MAIN goal
of the program was to address the ROOT problem facing the individual,
rather than just the behavioral symptoms. The goal remains the same. .
WHAT underlying problem initiated the symptom(s) of shoplifting,
property damage, tampering, painting on public /private property, etc.?
As a preventative program to more serious crimes and the "Court System".
diverting the individual from court is our goal as we attempt to
educate, refer to appropriate agencies (i.e. - individual counseling,
group counseling, county /community -wide programs, learning /educational
programs), and assist the family in resolving the issues surrounding the
offense.
Each year, we become more able to assess our effectiveness as our
program is tightened and streamlined. Listed below, are some of the
current ways we assess the effectiveness of the program:
1. APPROPRIATE REFERRALS MADE DURING THE ASSESSMENT SESSION WITH
THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE FAMILY.
The referrals made would be appropriate to the situation and
directly related to the ROOT /REASON for the behavior. Each assessment
outlines a plan that the child must be responsible for. In the
case of shoplifting, for example, the child should:
A. Return to the store with a written apology and get a signature
from store security.
B. Complete a number of community service hours. (This is
established as to the age /ability of the child.) As we
serve all of Hennepin County, we generally make referrals
and assist the individual in finding a program that is close
to where they live.)
C. Read a book regarding "TEEN ESTEEM" or "PEER PRESSURE" and
write a book report.

�v�ook�Yh �eacema�e►� Cev� fer, �h
}� Ray Of i-tcp&
D. Appropriate Referrals - Referrals, again, made regarding the
individual needs.
As these requirements are met and completed, the individual and parent(s)
give feedback as to how . it has helped their family to "pay more attention ",
"communicate better" and "be more aware of famil y needs`
We hear from families that believe they "have been prevented from entering
into more serious situations and'have learned the significance of life
choices."
2. RECIDIVISM RATE - This year, with the assistance of a student intern,
we were able to go back to the beginning of our referrals, to determine the
Recidivism Rate. Our questions were - How effective is the program? --
How many kids were kept from committing a second offense?
We have determined rates for the first number of years and are quite pleased
with the results. As we allow a certain time frame to pass, we are catching
up to the last few years as each month passes.
The recidivism rate has been somewhat difficult to establish. There are
no guidelines or BASELINES to make comparisons to. Each diversion program
has their own guidelines, program requirements and follow- through. The one
common factor is the "Reoffense in a certain time frame ". This has been our
attempt to do so.
3. PERSONAL TESTIMONIES a families who have received services and who
IMO - those
can SEE the results, have lived the effectiveness.
4. SURVEY - At the closing of each Assessment Session, we ask both the
individual and parent /guardian to fill out a one page survey in response
to the session. We can immediately see and review our effectiveness, as
well as ways to improve.
Currently, these are the tools we have to assess the program. In addition,
we continue to seek out suggestions, from clients, counselors and volunteers
who work with the families. We also have a very active Board of Directors
who strive to look at ways to continue in what we believe to be a VERY
EFFECTIVE PROGRAM!
Please let me know if there is any other information that you may need!
I would appreciate any information as to RFP mailings and deadlines!
Thank You!

Program Overview
1.) Mission Statement:
CEAP is available to the people of the community to meet their critical needs while preserving
their dig g
as human beings.
Began in 1970, CEAP provides basic needs services to families who find themselves in a
crisis situation. Our vision indicates a shift to assisting families in their quest toward self -
sufficiency thereby strengthening both the family and the community.
2. Expertise
ertise of the Organization
CEAP staff provide one -on -one evaluation of requests for services. Paid staff determine the
range of services
to families. es. The ro am which is requesting
p gr funding is Family Peer
Advocacy. These Family Peer Advocates Y d ocates are members of the
Y community who assist other
residents to access various community services. Family Peer Advocates are trained and
supervised by agency professional staff.
3.) Target Group for Services
CEAP serves over 60,000 people annually. Children outnumber adults three to one. Forty
one percent of all the families we serve in Hennepin County reside in Brooklyn Center. Over
eighty percent of all the families served b CEAP
earned less than 10 11 000 dollars, oars, well below
the federal poverty standards. These families often are isolated due to low income, lack of
transportation, and little education experience. Both long term and new clients gain self -
sufficiency skills through the use of mentors, collaborative efforts of schools, businesses and non -
profit, through practical support mechanisms.
4.) Organization Marketing - Geographical and Demographical Areas
Program beneficiaries hear about the program through a variety of means: word of mouth, church
referrals, client referrals, First Call for Help, Hennepin County referrals and collaborating human
service agencies. Formal outreach is conducted in collaboration with church and community
newsletters, media announcements and brochure distribution to Hennepin County, human service
agencies and schools. The primary service area is Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park.
'A
5.) Effectiveness of the Organization
The Board of Directors develops an annual work plan, based upon the input by a focus group of
consumers, staff and the committees of the Board.

<� 6.) Sources of Contributions
Brooklyn Park provides $3,750 1�� �
1
7.) Other Funding Organizations
The City of Brooklyn Park provides $3,750, Osseo School District provides $12,000,
Robbinsdale School District $32,750 for fiscal year ending June 30, 1995.
8.) In -Kind Items
Not Applicable.
9.) All In -Kind Contributions
In fiscal year 1994 CEAP received a dollar value of approximately 375,000 dollars of in -kind
donations these are used to help the families that we serve, i.e.: fruit, vegetables, bread, canned
goods and volunteer hours.
10a.) Use of Volunteers
CEAP uses over 900 volunteers on a yearly basis. Volunteers help answer phones, sort clothes in
the clothes closet, deliver home delivered meals, make quilts, work in Back to School program
and Christmas Programs.
10b.) Volunteers Affect on Budget
The value of volunteers services is approximately $200,000. It is the equivalent of 13.5 full -time
employees. It more than doubles what paid staff can do.
2
Community Need
11.) Community Need for Service
Families in the Brooklyn Center area are twenty -five percent more likely to be receiving AFDC
than other parts of the metro area. Families are essentially working poor people trying to make
ends meet. The use of emergency services has doubled and then some since 1990 according to
agency statistics. Lack of transportation, affordable housing and childcare has further impede full
functioning of the families. Parents often pass their low self - esteem and frustration on to their
children and become isolated and disenfranchised from their community.
12.) Community Benefits
A greater portion of the families and individuals will have the information, resources and skills
they need to prepare them for a He they will value and in turn will help the community become
stronger. Each family is viewed, assessed and assisted individually dependent upon their
evaluation.
13.) How Brooklyn Center Benefits
Families in a community who are isolated are not involved in the life of a city. This program
encourages self- sufficient activities such as; voting, attending school activities, shopping within
the city, and being involved with park and recreation activities. Our goal is to support families in
helping one another and therefore themselves.
14a.) Alternative Sources for Services
There are no alternative services. There are band aid approaches and after crisis services; none of
these are preventative in nature. Families developed this program based upon the void in our
community. Too often providers seem to have all the answers to perceived needs of families; this
program allows family members to work with other family members. Thereby naming resources
and being more "user friendly ".
15.) Total Community Participants
Last year CEAP served 59,240 people and will serve 60,000 in Northwest Hennepin county. The
number of people served by CEAP is recorded and maintained according to city zip codes in a
database. Recent studies show that the number of individuals CEAP serves will continue to
increase.
16a,b.) Brooklyn Center Residents Served
CEAP provided services to 22,975 Brooklyn Center residents last year and 23,000 next year.
Statistics were gleaned from zip codes. Brooklyn Center residents represent thirty-eight percent
of the total that CEAP served in the past year.
Organization Need
17.) Consequences to Our Organization
School personnel, families, churches all see the value of this service. It is a cost effective way to
begin the journey toward self - sufficiency for families. If funding is not received, hundreds of
families will not be reached who might need information and a little support. If they are not
needed, the cost to our community is increased dramatically.
3
SUBSTANTIATION OF NEED
As you can see from the sheet regarding effectiveness measures, there is plenty of need for
CEAP's various services in the City of Brooklyn Center. The issue of isolation does not show up
in those statistics, yet is at the heart of the majority of services CEAP provides.
Seniors who do not leave their homes and the only person they see on a daily basis is the person
delivering a hot meal at noon. That is their link to the outside world.
A young mother with small children who has no transportation and therefore no access to many
services most of us take for granted.
Parents who send their children to school with no school supplies, without breakfast, or without a
warm coat in the winter.
These little thins provide no hope for the future. What we are lacking is a feeling of hopefulness,
instead of hopelessness. Last year CEAP Family Peer Advocates provided information to over
6500
families. Most of all the message was that someone cared about them. These Family Peer
Advocates reached out through schools, clinics, city hall, park and recreation activities, churches,
etc. It was done in a setting which was non threatening and non judgmental.
J �
I I
Fifty -six percent of the people served at CEAP are under the age of nineteen. Eighty -two percent
earn less than $10,000 annually. There is a great deal of statistical information which can be
provided, but, the most important issue for families is the ability to access resources in a manner
which allows them to make the decisions not someone else.

SUBSTANTIATION OF NEED
As you can see from the sheet regarding effectiveness measures, there is plenty of need for
CEAP's various services in the City of Brooklyn Center. The issue of isolation does not show up
in those statistics, yet is at the heart of the majority of services CEAP provides.
Seniors who do not leave their homes and the only person they see on a daily basis is the person
delivering a hot meal at noon. That is their link to the outside world.
A young mother with small children who has no transportation and therefore no access to many
j services most of us take for granted.
Parents who send their children to school with no school supplies, without breakfast, or without a
warm coat in the winter.
These little thin Q '
�s provide no hope for the future. What we are lacking is a feeling hopefulness,
instead of hopelessness. Last year CEAP Family Peer Advocates provided information to over
6500 families. Most of all the message was that someone cared about them. These Family Peer
Advocates reached out through schools, clinics, city hall, park and recreation activities, churches,
etc. It was done in a setting which was non threatening and non judgmental.
Fifty -six percent of the people served at CEAP are under the age of nineteen. Eighty -two percent
earn less than $10,000 annually. There is a great deal of statistical information which can be
provided, but, the most important issue for families is the ability to access resources in a manner
which allows them to make the decisions not someone else.

(Deadline is June 1 for consideration for the following fiscal
year, January 1 to December 31.)
APPLICANT PROGRAM /AGENCY NAME: Five Cities Senior Tr a ns portation
ADDRESS: City of Robbinsdale, 4221 Lake Road
CITY, STATE, ZIP: Robbinsdale, MN 55422
PHONE NUMBER: 537 -4534, Ext. 433
CONTACT PERSON: Rita DeBruyn, Senior Program Coordinator
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. Generally describe the program /agency, including its mission,
date established, services and goals.
The Five Cities Senior Transportation Project was developed in
November 1985 as an attempt to assist the large older adult
population of Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope, Golden Valley
and Robbinsdale in over - coming transportation barriers to serv-
ices and activities. The five cities entered into a Joint Powers
Agreement to begin making transportation available to their adult
population sixty years and older.
The premise of the program is that the cities will work coopera-
tively with one another, as well as strive to complement existing
services. The Joint Powers Agreement explains the purpose of
Five Cities: " ... to jointly and cooperatively plan provide and
administer a Senior Transportation Program in order to reduce to
the greatest practical extent the public expenditures necessary
to provide such a program."
The program provides transportation from apartments and individ-
ual homes to city sponsored activities, social service programs,
senior dining, grocery stores, shopping centers, Target, K Mart,
Brookdale, Ridgedale, Wal -Mart and other special events. Mini -
coaches (accessible or non - accessible) are used depending on
need. The service contract is with National School Bus Company.
Monthly trip schedules are mailed to riders.
The Five Cities schedules have been developed by using the
"shuttle system" to route vehicles. It is the foundation for the
cost effectiveness of the Five Cities Senior Transportation
Project. The schedules are coordinated so that vehicles serve
1
i
residents of one City, drop them at their distination, then go to
another City and service those residents. The "shuttle system"
is possible because of all five cities cooperative efforts in
serving older residents. The schedules are always open to change
due to rider feedback and are constantly refined to ensure cost
effectiveness.
The Five Cities Senior Transportation Project goals for 1996 are:
- Provide 12,750 one way trips;
-Serve 850 unduplicated riders.
2. Explain the areas of expertise of the program agency, includ-
ing a description of the range of staff capability.
The key administrators of the program include:
-The Executive Committee, City Managers; Fran Hagen, Rob -
binsdale; Dan Donahue, New Hope; Jerry Dulgar, Crystal; Gerry
Splinter, Brooklyn Center and William Joynes, Golden Valley.
-The Program Coordinator, Rita DeBruyn, is responsible for
the supervision of the Five Cities office, coordination of sched-
ules, commnications with National Bus Company and fiscal manage-
ment.
-The program format is dictated by the Joint Powers Agree-
ment among the five participating cities. The City of Robbins-
dale serves as "Lead City" for the project; and is responsible
for fiscal management and daily operation of the Five Cities
Transportation Project.
3. Describe the target group for services of the program /agency.
It is the cities' intention to serve persons sixty years and
older with social and /or economic needs , and /or an inability to
use regular public transportation due to physical and /or mental
disability. Persons with disabilities and under 60 years of age
are not refused service. However, budget and vehicle limitations
prohibits the Five Cities program from actively recruiting these
riders.
4. Describe how the program is marketed and to what geographical
and demographical area.
The Five Cities Transportation program is marketed via each
of the five cities, quarterly /annual newsletter, Senior Citizens
Newsletter, Community Cable, Post /Sun newspaper. Buildings
served are asked to post schedules and information about the
project. Several residential buildings have Five Cities informa-
tion racks for residents. In some buildings individuals have
volunteered to drop schedules door-to-door. Information about
Five Cities Senior Transportation is available through First Call
for Help, the Minneapolis Directory of Community Services, and
2
the Specialized Transportation Service Directory and the Senior
Resources Senior Linkage Line.
The Program Coordinator gives informational talks at apart-
ment buildings, writes annual letters to area social service
agencies, nursing homes and hospitals. A biannual open house is
offered so riders can meet Five Cities' volunteers, staff and
drivers.
5. Discuss the methodology employed in measuring the effective-
ness of the program /agency.
Monthly rider statistics are compiled to evaluate number of
individuals served by destination and by city. End of the year
rider statistics are compiled and compared with previous years'
ridership. West Metro Coordinated Transportation makes an annual
site visit to evaluate cost effectiveness and quality of service.
Through West Metro, annual rider surveys are conducted. Feedback
is requested from apartment managers. Riders are encouraged to
call the Coordinator with questions or concerns. If ridership
numbers decrease for a specific trip, riders are contacted by
phone to evaluate the reasons. Alternates meet quarterly to dis-
cuss the service and make improvements. The Coordinator meets
quarterly with National's bus drivers to evaluate the service and
discuss questions or concerns. Staff from neighborning transpor-
tation programs are encouraged to contact the Coordinator when
they are notified of problems with the Five Cities service. The
Coordinator rides the bus at least four times each year to eval-
uate the service.

No additional funding organizations have been explored for
Five Cities. As a City participating in a joint powers agree-
ment, it would be the City of Brooklyn Center's responsibility to
explore other options or direct the Transportation Coordinator to
do so. The .reality lit is that there re are no good sources of funds
for senior transportation programs other than those currently
used. Five Cities has participated in the Older Americans Month
fundraisers, "Twilight Tea Dance." While the funds raised are
small in comparison to the budget, it demonstrates the support
of the community for continuing Five Cities service. Current
staff size limits any additional time being used in fundraising
efforts.

10. a) Describe use of volunteers.
Volunteers are used by all cities to collate the monthly
schedule. Volunteers are used by the coordinator to take
reservations and compile statistics.
b) Describe how the use of volunteers impacts your budget.
The use of volunteers keeps administrative costs lower in
the Five Cities budget. Rather than hire an office assis-
tant for additional hours then budgeted, volunteers answer
phones and complete office tasks.
COXXUNITY NEED
11. Explain the community need for the proposed service.
Utilization figures and census demographics help substan-
tiate the need for Five Cities Transportation. In 1994, Five
Cities served 3176 individuals with 11,926 rides. Brooklyn
Center served 455 individuals with 2366 rides. These figures
include persons living in apartments and individual homes. In a
comparison between the years of 1980 and 1990, Brooklyn Center
census figures show a 62% increase in persons 60 years and older
(i.e. in 1980 there were 3233 persons 60 years and older; in 1990
there were 5253 persons 60 years of age and older.)
12. Explain the community benefits including what you do for
groups with special needs in the proposed F p pr p sed serviced (if
applicable).
Five Cities offers a safe, secure, dependable means of
transportation for older residents. As a result of Five Cities,
riders maintain personal independence, remain active in the
community, maintain social connections and are less likely to
need long term care. By supporting the Five Cities Senior Trans-
.
5
portation Project, the sponsoring cities benefit because their
older residents function as independent, contributing members of
the community. Local merchants benefit because their businesses
are visited weekly by Five Cities' shoppers.
13. Describe how Brooklyn Center benefits from the services
provided.
Older residents of Brooklyn Center are transported to Lei-
sure Time Club, Brooklyn Twins Club, Brookdale, Ridgedale, Jer-
ry's New Market, Byerly's, Cub, Wal -Mart, Target, K -Mart, Drug
Emporium.and special senior citizen events outside Brooklyn
yn
Center (e.g. Golden Gala, Spring Fling and Halloween Party at
Brookview Community Center in Golden Valley.) Persons living in
apartments, senior high rises, or their own homes may use Five
Cities to attend these activities. Most would be unable to reach
these destinations without Five Cities service.
Five Cities is more than a transportation service. When
taking the bus to a common destination, the riders socialize and
make friends. Isolation can be a problem for older persons and
often can result in poor health which can lead to pre- mature
nursing home placement.
Five Cities helps meet the socialization needs of senior
residents. Maintaining independence is of tremendous value to
most older persons. Because Five Cities offers a safe, reliable
consistant transportation service, older residents are able to
be more independent.
In summary, Five Cities service assists in meeting individu-
al basic transportation needs as well as enhancing the quality of
life for its participants.
14. a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services
available within the community.
CEAP (Comprehensive Emergency Assistance Program) was pro-
viding only medical rides. In early 1994, that service was dis-
continued.
Camden Advantage offers only minimal medical transportation
because Brooklyn Center is not its primary service area. They
receive no funds for providing this service. It is provided
because the administration wants to respond to the need for
medical transportation in Brooklyn Center.
For the last two years, staff representing the three senior
transportation programs in Northwest Hennepin County (Five
Cities, Elder Exprpess and Senior Transportation) have met to
discuss the future of social service transportation in northwest
6
Hennepin County. Issues discussed have included funding con-
straints, service to other than the senior population, additional
coordinated efforts to reduce costs, gaps in service. The goal
of these discussions is to develop a comprehensive social service
transportation system which can serve more persons, more cost
effectively. The Executive Committee is updated by memorandum `
after each meeting. when specific proposals have been developed,
the Executive Committee will meet to offer feedback. Additional-
ly, City Commissions and Councils will be consulted during this
important process.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfill-
the current need.
Camden Advandage is unable to meet the current need for
medical transportation. This program would not be able to provide
the service being offered by Five Cities.
15. State the total numbers of people from all communities who
participate or receive direct benefits, and describe how these
numbers were determined.

b. What percent of the total residents served are from
Brooklyn Center?
17% of the individuals served by Five Cities are residents
of Brooklyn Center. 23% of the one -way riders were residents of
Brooklyn Center.
ORGANIZATION NEED
17. What would be the consequences to your program /agency of not
receiving he
amount
g requested?
If Brooklyn Center does not contribute the amount requested,
the Executive Committee would meet to review the impact on the
Joint Powers Agreement and Five Cities service. Brooklyn Center
is an integral part of the Five Cities system. Routes would be
affected dramatically. The withdrawal of Brooklyn Center from
the 1
Y
he Five Cities Transportation Project would affect the other
four cities and most riders.

3. Data (backup documentation) substantiating the need for this
service in Brooklyn Center. (Attachment #3)
Transportation is considered idered the greatest unmet service need for
older persons in Hennepin County. It has been identified as the
highest priority need by nearly all groups in all parts of the
County (both urban and suburban).
In developing the Five Cities Senior Transportation project,
planners looked into account data compiled by Tom Bublitz, Admin-
istrative Assistant, City of Brooklyn Center, which demonstrated
a gap in the service and a perceived need on the part of seniors
for additional transportation particularly in the area of provid
ing transit to recreational activities, congregate dining and
other "non- medical" trips. In addition to the preconceived need,
Bublitz provided data showing a number of seniors in the north-
west area without access to automobiles, or with limited ability
to drive their own automobiles. Bublitz report also told plan-
ners that existing MTC routes are primarily focused toward the
downtown Minneapolis central business district and routes of an
intra -inter suburban nature can be inadequate or confusing, espe-
cially to elderly people.

2. Explain the areas of expertise of the organization, including a description of the range
of staff capability.
INVITE is the first suburban youth outreached program serving a
primarily African - American community. INVITE has in the past
provided job placement, tutoring and organized evening basketball
for inner city at -risk youth. Volunteer Board members have
backgrounds in youth programs, education, athletics, juvenile
crime services and public safety. ntreap)a:. - staff'_1st - a restdent

including reports, billing, book keeping and program oversight.
Average number of hours per year: 600

C 01UNIUNM NEED
11. Explain the community need for the proposed service.
The problems associated with apartment living impact young people
especially hard. Lack of privacy, confined living on low incomes,
lack of study space and absentee parents put children at risk of_
school failure and worse if positive role models and safe
environments are not available for youth to let off steam. Without
organized activities, youth will find trouble.
12. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups with special needs in
the proposed service (if applicable).
INVITE maintains a safe crime free environment for youth at
Firehouse Park. Supervised bowling, swimming and basketball
(at Lutheran Church of the Master) along with video games and other
onsite activities give children a place the know they are welcome,
anytime. Winter study hours provide youth with a quiet area
to do homework with minimal distractions. INVITE staff is available
to provide informal one on one counselling. Summer camp sessions,
incoordination with YOUTH FORUM helps bring youth in touch with
higher powers in life that can help them with their decision making
process. Overall, the community benefits by having a place where
good children can go without being threatened by gangs, criminals
or problems in their home.
13. Describe how Brooklyn Center benefits from the services provided.
INVITE believes the city benefits by a reduction in juvenile
crime; improved relations with youth, particularly African -
American and a reduced cost for services. Additionally, the
pressure that often builds within apartment complex communities
is diffused as youth have a destination nearby that can provide
things their home cannot.
14. a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the
community.
Churches and'the community center at city hall.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the current needs.
Transportation is a big problem as many of these young people are
are low income or have parents who work and aren't available to
drive. Sensitivity to African - Americans moving from other areas
to Brooklyn Center is also needed. It may be that traditional
service providers in Brooklyn Center eitherintimidate the population
INVITE serves or has chosen not to concentrate their efforts on
these groups.
15. State the total numbers of people from all communities who participate or receive
direct benefits, and describe how these numbers were determined.
Numbers are determined by sign in sheets and .:registration cards.

Narrative of Outreach Worker's Activities
Regular study hours /computer times continued through the end of the school year,
June 10. Attendance during this time was weak except when open for video games.
May and June was spent recruiting junior and senior high school youth for the Youth
Forum Summer Camp at St. Olaf's in Northfield, scheduled for July 9th to the 14th. I
met with parents and talked with youth about the camp. We had originally planneed f
for two groups, however, cancellations forced us to remove ourselves from the June
session. Each youth pays $20 to attend the camp for a week, with INVITE and Youth
Forum picking up the rest total of $229 per camper.
Throughout April and May, Wednesday bowling was well attended. Several days
included more than 10 youth. However, it died down during June. Monday swimming
started June 12th with regular groups of 8 to 10 youth thru the month. Basketball
attendance is steady but from time to time there are larger groups that include some
older teens and young adults. Video games are still popular but less so now that the
weather is nice. The ping pong table has been removed. Some kids play catch with
the football and would play softball if there were more mitts. Basketball still has the
biggest attendance.

INVITE, INC
April -June -July 1995 Report
I have been maintaining the daily sign in sheets, listing phone numbers and have
developed a list of regular attendees. Attendance dropped noticeably with the closing
of the apartments in June. Also, with the park under construction, the number of
families coming to the park also decreased but picked up after completion of the work.
There has been an increased number of girls, mostly under age 12.
Generally speaking, there has been an increase in the number of younger children
accompanied by older siblings. They come together and leave together.
Approximately 75% of the total # of youth involved are African American, with most of
the rest white. 90% of the regular attendees are African American. The majority of
youth are 11/12 year old. There have been some small fights that have been broken
up with no lasting animosity between the parties involved. Many of the children are
obviously hungry during their visits, some are also noticeably in need of clean clothes.
A Coke machine has also been installed on a trial basis till September.

To Whom It May Concern:
The organization INVITE, Inc., has been contracted with by the City of Brooklyn Center
since 1990 to provide an at risk youth worker to the city. The youth worker has concentrated
the efforts in the northeast corner of the city where there is a concentration of single parent
family units and a great deal of lower income family units and has worked with the youth of
the area by providing a recreational outlet as well as assisting with home and school
problems. Recently, they have added some donated computer equipment to assist with their
tutoring efforts at their facility here in Brooklyn Center.
The City does consider the youth worker to be a very valuable position to our overall social
programs in the City of Brooklyn Center and has helped considerably to reduce the incidents
of crime and the presence of youth gangs in this service area. We feel that over the past four
years, the youth worker has become a very valuable resource to us in the City of Brooklyn
Center.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. Generally describe the organization, including its mission, date established, services, and
goals.
North I�rijepii "Mediation Program Inc. is a non -= profit commuity based - dispute
resolution service, established in 1983. We are the only state certified
m at2on p ogc�m in the area. Ths mission of NHMP is to provide mediation
services for North Hennepin County residents. The goals of NHMP are: (a) to
provoide a means to manage conflict (b) to enhance and supllement 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
A so i eaceful :solution roblems will 1 d to le s violence i our society.
xp the areas of expertise o ° tl'e organization, inc�udin, a aescnption of the range
of sta capability.
NHMP is a state certified mediation program which offers mediation in all
areas except child custody and divorce. The Executive Director has been a

3. Describe the target group for services of the organization.
North Hennepin Mediation Program Inc. offers services to all residents
who are involved in a dispute. Our services are available to all regardless of
race, age, religion, income or sexual preference. our target group continues
to be people who work or live in our service area.

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 stwff, schools, Operation de Novo,
lawyers, courts and canmunity agencies. We give presentations and keep referral
sources informed about the outcome of cases. We publish articles in local news-
papers and newsletters. Our posters and brochures are displayed in public places
and we advertise in the yellow pages. We have also been on radio and Cable TV.
Our marketing cc miittee actively involved in seeking new marketing arenas.
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 make followup calls to determine compliance with
mediated settlements. In 1994, 95% of cases mediated resulted in a settlement
agreement. There was compliance in 96% 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 cse, we survey disputants
to evaluate our services. The satisfaction rate is consistently high.

We have sent grant applications to many foundations. We have received
one favorable response to date. We are generating incane through presentations
on Conflict Resolution to various groups. Our Board takes an active roll in
fund raising and in 1995 saw a 66% increase over the funds raised in 1994. They
hope to continue to build on this effort. As always, we strive for diversity
in funding.

8. List in -kind items requested from the City.
Space for holding mediator training sessions.
9. Describe use of all in -kind contributions, and include estimated value of each in -kind
contribution.

Graphic Art Work 500.00
Training Assistance 500.00
10. a. Describe use of volunteers.
Volunteers continue to be the backbone of our organization. We currently
have 40 mediators and 9 board members. In addition, volunteers staff our
personnel, marketing, finance, planning and evaluation committees. In 1994,
these volunteers contributed over 2,500 hours to the program. At 12.13 per
hour (per dollar value of volunteering established by Independent Sector -a
1993 Gallop Survey), that's over $30,000.00 of volunteer service to our
clients. 14 of our mediators have been with us five or more years.
b. Describe how the use of volunteers affects or reduces your budget.
Private mediators are now charging substantial fees for their services.
Because our medators are all volunteers, we are able,to hold our budget to
reasonable limits. OUr volunteer mediators cane from all walks of life
including attorneys, counselors, teachers, librarians, business people, retired
people from all walks of life, bus drivers, salepeople, accountants etc.
Because of this broad base, we are able to match mediators to client needs.
Because of volunteers,..we are able to manage with only 2.5 paid staff.
COMBIUNUY NEED
Conflict is a normal and inevitable fact of life. Learning to deal with
li. Explam_'rne community need for the proposed service.
Conflict is a normal and inevitable fact of life. 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 disputes before they excalate to the need for police
or court intervention.
12. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups with special needs in
the proposed service (if applicable). C.
The community benefits when conflict is dealt with in a positive manner.
Having available a peaceful means for resolving conflict reduces the tendency
of unresolved disputes excalating to violence. Since our service has no barriers
to its use, we have accomodated differently abled clients, gay /lesbian partners
and parties involved in large group disputes. We have accomodated minorities
by having minority mediators available for mediations.
-J-
Lfarch 1994
13. 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 conflict. Whether its a
juvenile offender case, a neighborhood case or a landlord /resident case, if
relationships can be preserved while, at the same time, disruptive behavior
stopped, both residents and city benefit.
14. a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the
community. We are the only community based, state certified, non - profit
organization offering mediation services in the community. The only alternatire
available to residents seeking mediation are for fee services. These private
practices lack the diversity of mediators and the 13 years experience that "we have.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the current needs.
The majority of our clients cannot afford a fee. OUr free to client
services eliminates a big stumbling block to trying mediation. Because we have
40 mediators, we can match mediators to client needs, i.e. a parent, teacher or
counselor would be best in tune with the needs of juveniles while a business
person could best meet the needs of a business case. Because we use co- mediators,
we can supply mediators that meet the needs of both sides in the dispute. Private
mediation services lack this diversity.
15. 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
1600 over 2000
The total number of people served in 1994 comes directly from our statistics
and includes not only those who mediated, but also those who called for
information and were referred to more appropriate agencies. We arrived on the
total for next year based on the dramatic increase in cases opened so far in
1995 (220 compared to136 at this time last year).
16. a. State the numbers of residents from Brooklvn Center only who are served, and
describe how these numbers were determined.
PROJECTED TOTAL
TOTAL SERVED
TO BE SERVED
LAST YEAR NEXT YEAR
over 100 over 200
As explained above, the total number of PAP le served in 1993 comes
directly from ourstatistics. The ro'ected number is based on increased
P J
number of cases opend thus far in 1995.
b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklvn Center?
In 1994, ten per cent of cases involved Brooklyn Center residents. We expect
that number to dramtically increase in 1995 and 1996 because of our presence
in Housing Court and increased cases in Conciliation Ccurt.

17. What would be the consequences to your organization of not receiving the amount
requested?
We would continue to operate, but two things would occur. 1. Stsaff time
would have to be spent replacing these funds to the determent of direct
services to disputants. 2. We would have to cut back on outreach efforts to
Brooklyn Center residents.
The following supporting documentation must accompany this application. If any item is

Dear Bonnie:
I am pleased that ou asked me to write a letter of support for
Y PP
your program's grant application.
Operation de Novo began a working relationship with North Hennepin
Mediation in 1992. Although we work with many community - based,
youth- serving agencies, I have found your agency to consistently
stand out as an exemplary model of professional and meaningful
program service. Each juvenile who is referred to your agency is
received as an individual whose case deserves 100% of the program's
attention. It does not matter whether it is a petty misdemeanor or
felony. The juvenile offender receives the message that the
community will give attention to them and support them in the
resolution of the problem_ behavior. The victim receives support
and assistance from your program in processing their experience and
asserting heir desires for restitution.
i ution.
Our office sends each case to your program with a true sense of
confidence. We know that you will be fully active and supportive
with the case and we will be informed of each youth's progress. In
our role, given the high volume of referrals, this is greatly
appreciated.
Again, thank you for all your commitment and assistance in the
process of diverting juveniles from the criminal justice system.
May our relationship continue and grow.
Sr cerely,
Denise W. Brown

General Comments:
I really appreciate your mediation program being out there to help us. The mediators
we had were = nice and they kept everything intact. Thanks so much for your
follow -up. (94019)
Great to not have to go to Conciliation Court. Much better for positive feelings. Very
pleased with your program. Will use in the future if necessary! (94105)
Wonderful! Would definite) use again. 94070
Y 9 ( )
Thank you for being there. This was a good way to handle things. It saved time -
otherwise we'd still be waiting in court. Appreciate getting it settled and
complied with on the same date. (94126)
Thanks for helping out! (94079)
Your program really helped us. We've mellowed out since the last mediation. Thanks.
(94130)
Thanks for trying, we appreciate it. (94063)
Thank you. Wish my son had taken care of this when he lived in MN. Appreciate your
time. (94140)
Glad to have your follow -up to get builder to agree to extending the sign off period.
Thanks. (93356
I think it was an overall good experience to have another agency involved so he
realizes the seriousness of it -that it's not just a school thing, but the community
is involved. Thank you. (94078)
Both the mediation and the results of it were very good. Thank you for helping.
(94095)
Thank you for following up. Knowing you were involved helped the OP finish the work.
We appreciate all your calls and time. (93375)
Thanks so much for your help! You helped us put together a proposal which was fair.
(94077)
Handled very professionally. Would definitely use again! (94077)
1 want to thank you for the opportunity to say what I have to say to the other parties.
94108

It was handled very professionally. I got plenty of information, and 1 would definitely
use mediation again. (94068)
Thanks for your assistance. This has been an interesting experience. (94117)
Thanks for all your help. You do excellent follow up on your disputes. (94151)
Thank you Y= much. (94083)
Did a good job. Too bad we had to go this route, but it turned out ok. (93410)
Mediation process not helpful in this case because we need legal means to deal with
OP. (94143)
We thought it went real smoothly. Everything's taken care of. (94170)
In this case we need legal means to deal with the other party. (94143)
It's going good. Everyone's staying on their own parts. (94149)
1 think your process really helped, although the other party didn't offer as much as I
had hoped. (94075)
I'm thankful mediation was there to solve the problem. It's very useful. I'm pleased
with how it turned out. (94181)
Thanks for all your time. (94065)
Wish the homeowners would have been more reasonable. (94049)
1 wish the builder would've done the work sooner, but you guys helped. (94134)
You guys give me service, but no one else does. Thanks very much for your help. I'm
thrilled. Things are looking good. (94006)
I'm real thankful that this has been brought to a resolve. l think it was ultimately your
efforts that helped us bring this to a close. Everyone, with the exception of you
and your organization, was not helpful. Thank you. (94044)
It put faces on them and probably helped the boys have a face for the victim.
Mediators definitely treated all sides equally. They were very good. I felt better
about the incident after mediation. (94144 -65)
Thank you. (94238)
You have a wonderful service! I have recommended you to my friends. Thank you
so much for all your help. (94232)
Thank you for your help. I'm so relieved to finally have this work all finished. (93325)
That went very smoothly. I think you have an excellent program there. If things can be
handled through you I think it saves a lot of court time and benefits everyone.
Thanks a lot. The volunteers who mediated were excellent. (94221 -7)
Thank you very much for getting him to finally finish the work. I really appreciate your
assistance in this matter. (94253)
I'm glad to see juveniles being held responsible for their unacceptable actions. Thank
you. (94087)
I would definitely use mediation again. It was very worthwhile. I really appreciate the
help you gave me. (94201)
Thank you for helping us. I feel the forum was helpful even though the other party
didn't accept my offers. (94258)
Thank you so much. We will comeback if further issues arise. I really appreciate your
help. (94262)
1 think the boys have done their time for the incident and learned from it. Thank you for
letting us participate in your program. We feel it was beneficial. (94017 -26)
Thanks. (94146)
Thank you for all your follow up work. We appreciate it. (94179)
1 think this is a great process. It teaches the boys responsibility for their behavior and
shows them the impact of their actions. (94252 -78)
They made progress on our house. Still wish builder didn't insist on having Don there.
Thank you. (94270)
Thank you for working with us. We thank you for your involvement, especially since
we have weather concerns as an additional issue. (93361)
Thank you for being there to help us. We are grateful to have this behind us. (94233)
The mediators were great, it was just the homeowners who were unwilling to
negotiate. Thanks for your hard work. (94240 -80)
1 feel this will leave a better feeling between us, rather than going to court only.
(94248)
Thank you so much for all your help. I know you did a lot of work for me, what with all
the calling and letters. I wish she would've paid me the $20.00 she promised,
but thank you for your kindness. (94210)
I appreciate the opportunity to use your services. I think he learned from it and
captured the essence of why it is wrong to steal. Thank you for all your help.
(94299 OP).
Thank you for your help. I got the money from the other party right on time. (94236)
I'm glad we finally received the money, but I feel the other mother was not supporting
her son in the session. She was not helpful in determining what should be
done. Thank you. (94145)
1 think the boys took something valuable from this experience, having to earn money
and pay for the damage they did, out of their own pockets. Much worse for them
than other punishments. (94180 -256)
Thank you sa much for your help. This was more civilized than court. (94344)

2. Explain the areas of expertise of the program /agency, including a
description of the he . range of staff capability.
g P Y

program administration, program evaluation, research, primary
and secondary data analysis, service availability, service
funding sources, lobbying, community organizing, and
Y g g,
information dissemination.
Key staff persons have extensive education and experience in
program administration, program planning, research
techniques, data analysis, verbal and written communication,
community organizing, and fundraising. Resumes are included.
in the supporting documentation section of this report.
3. Describe the target group for services of the program /agency.
The target groups for the direct service programs delivered
by the Council are those persons and /or households who meet
the income guidelines for the programs as defined by the
contracting entity. Generally speaking, these persons and /or
households are low- income. Applications are made for the
programs and eligibility is determined through intake and
verification processes as stipulated in program regulations.
The target groups for the indirect services offered by the
Council are broad and diverse. These include municipalities,
Hennepin County Community Services Division, service
providers, businesses, organizations and citizens of the
northwest area.
4. Describe how the program is marketed, and to what geographical and
demographical areas.
Each of the programs delivered by the Council is marketed
through varying techniques and to varying demographical
areas. All programs are marketed to the fifteen communities
of the northwest area. Examples of marketing efforts
include:
* Surplus Commodities distributions are marketed through
newspaper announcements, flyers, posters, resource card
distribution and church bulletins.
* All Council programs have been marketed through cable TV
programming, brochure and flyer distribution, press releases
to local media sources. Two new agency brochures completed
in 1988 have been utilized extensively for marketing
purposes. A special marketing folder was created for
distribution in 1990. The annual report is a major document
produced annually.
*
Services are made known through networking activities,
mailings, focus groups, annual reports, and directory and
report distribution.
* Services to municipalities are marketed through the
development and presentation of localized municipal profiles.
5. Discuss the methodology employed in measuring the effectiveness of
the program /agency.
The effectiveness of the Council is measured in a variety of
ways. Examples include:
* Written data that is disseminated is accompanied by an
evaluation form order for the receiver to assess the
appropriateness and completeness of the data. Suggestions
are made and often incorporated on the usefulness of the
data.
* The Surplus Commodities Program was evaluated regularily by
the State of Minnesota. An audit is conducted annually to
assess the operation of the program.
* Hennepin County Community Services Division Managers are
required to give feedback to the Council on the usefulness of
the CSSA report produced by the Council. Feedback in the
past years has been very favorable in terms of the quality of
program- specific recommendations being made to the County.
* All forums, presentations, and training sessions offered by
the Council are evaluated in writing by the participants at
the conclusion of the session.
* The average percentage of overhead and administration costs
for the direct services delivered by the Council is
approximately ten percent. Contracts for the indirect
services such as Community Planning and the Community Social
Services Act are 100% designated for the administrative costs
of delivering the indirect services.

distribution of certificates to the volunteers of the Surplus
Commodities program, and an annual dinner as part of the
Annual Meeting, for the Advisory Commissioners who sponsor
the CSSA process. A new "Invest Northwest" awards process
was also established in 1992 to recognize contributions by
community members.
10b. Describe how the use of volunteers impacts your budget.
Clearly, the use of volunteers in our organization is
critical to our services.
The additional clerical support
would cost us approximately $8,500.00 without volunteer
assistance. Our surplus commodities budget is only
$6,200.00, yet we leverage over 1300 hours of help from over
150 people to distribute commodities. Volunteer host homes
for Point NW saved approximately $1,800 in shelter costs in
1994.
11. Explain the community need for the proposed service, including a
discussion of possible alternative sources for those services
available within the community. Describe why those alternative
services are not fulfilling the current needs.
Good information for all decision makers is increasingly more
essential as resources become more limited and needs continue
to grow. We are the only agency that serves as a source of
data for cities, human service agencies and others to help
toward quality decision making about human service
programming.
12. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups
with special needs in the proposed service (if applicable).
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has a broad array
of human services which have been described in this text.
Accommodations are made for people with special needs.
Examples include brailling the Advisory Commission packets
and listing the availability of accommodations upon request
on flyers or event brochures.
13. Describe how Brooklyn Center residents benefit from the services
provided.
Residents of Brooklyn Center receive financial assistance in
the areas of emergency housing, transportation, food,
utilities, fuel assistance and surplus commodities through
direct service delivered by the Council. They also receive
referrals to other services available in the community when
they call the Council for information. They received service
resource cards and other service information produced by the
Council, and they benefit from new or expanded services
available to the area as the result of the lobbying and
coordination efforts of the Council.
14a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available
within the community.
14b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the
current needs.
There also is no other organization available that
specializes in the collection and dissemination of data or
the assessment of needs specific to the northwest area of
Hennepin County. Requests for information and data relative
to the northwest has continued to increase every year. There
are no alternative sources in the community for the direct
services offered by the Council as we are the sole entity
contracted to deliver these programs. The need for Surplus
Commodities distribution, and for Emergency Assistance
coordination continues to grow as evidenced by
ever - increasing numbers of persons served.
15. State the total number of people from all communities who
participate or receive direct benefits, and describe how these
numbers were determined.
Many of our activities are in- direct in nature. Our
planning, research and coordinating functions helped many
people from many cities and are our primary functions.
Direct services represent only a small percent of our agency
functions or represent programs for which we provide funds
but contract out for the services.
For 1994, in terms of direct services, we served 5,362
households for surplus commodities and provided approxi-
mately 956 persons with emergency loans. We anticipate
similar numbers in these direct services next year.
16a. State the numbers of residents from Brooklyn Center only who are
served, and describe how these numbers were determined.
In 1994, 1,234 Brooklyn Center residents received surplus
commodities and $6,562.00 was provided in emergency services
loans to Brooklyn Center residents. Eighty -three youth and
families were served in Brooklyn Center in 1993, worth
$30,000 in service.
Projected total to be served next year.
Emergency Services: Approximately 100 residents of
Brooklyn Center are expected to receive emergency services
through the Hennepin County contract administered by the
Council in 1995. Approximately 100 youth and families will
be served by the Point Northwest.
These projections are based upon past program usage and area
demographic trends. These are for the direct services only.
The majority of our services are indirect and benefit
Brooklyn Center residents via the establishment of various
services and programs which we have helped to support.
16b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklyn
Center?
Brooklyn Center residents represent less than 10% of the total
Northwest Hennepin population. 20.2% of Point Northwest services were
for Brooklyn Center residents. 21% of Surplus Commodities
expenditures and 10.2% of emergency services program expenditures went
to residents of Brooklyn Center. Indirect services received by
Brooklyn Center exceeded the percentage represented of the total
population.
17. What would be the consequences to your program /agency of not
receiving the amount requested?
The Northwest Hennepin Human Council was founded under a
Joint Powers Agreement by area municipalities to serve
collectively where no one city felt capable of serving alone.
Since the municipalities created the Council to coordinate
human services issues on their behalf, the funding from
municipalities forms the base of the organization's support.
The Council could not leverage Hennepin County funds without
the show of support of the municipalities and needs these
dollars to fulfill its rimar mission..

200 square miles and more than 300,000 people, the northwest area of We are a
suburban Hennepin County has important issues and the people and Community
commitment necessary to be proactive in addressing these matters.
As the fastest growing region in suburban Hennepin County, the
human needs are exacerbated by denial, isolation, and inadequate housing
and transportation options. The community is often overwhelmed by the
changes and is left to ponder what can be done. We must address issues of
this magnitude on all levels, through policy changes, projects and
programs, and larger system modifications. The community as a whole
must find the answers; no segment of the community can solve these issues
alone.
The issues are varied and complex: transportation for seniors,
opportunities for youth, shelter from abuse and violence, food options for
families. The true measure of our community's viability and the quality of
life can be measured by the responsiveness to its members.
For a city to function at full capacity, human services that address
the needs of residents involve planning and coordination in the same way
as do the streets, buildings, and sewers. For this purpose, Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council was established as a joint venture of the
northwest municipalities and Hennepin County. The Council serves as the
human services planning and coordinating agency for the northwest
Hennepin region, representing fifteen cities with great diversity in rural and
suburban areas.
Looking back, 1994 was a productive, challenging, and successful
year. The key to our success has been, and will continue to be, the extent
to which the community becomes involved in making a
positive difference.
The tasks before Northwest Hennepin Human 4
Services Council can only be done in partnership with
the community. Our work goes beyond asking people i
what needs to be done; it engages others in the work of
meeting needs and creating change. Through
collaboration, we can enhance the capacity of the
community to reach new heights.

VTVVV Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was created in
Mission 1972 as a joint venture of the northwest municipalities and Hennepin
County. The Council plans and coordinates a variety of programs and
services that make a difference in the lives of residents. The Council is
based on the following principles:
♦ We believe human services should be available in
the community and residents should have access to
them.
♦ We believe municipalities should share the
responsibility of meeting the human service needs
of their residents.
♦ We believe residents should play a role in defining
VVVVV their own needs and in recommending solutions.

♦ Success By 6q Northwest, a multi - sector United Way initiated
and funded endeavor, involved the collaborative efforts of over 200
people in northwest Hennepin County. It leveraged over $1
million in funds to support families and children in 1994.
♦ Point Northwest, an early intervention program for runaway
youth, served nearly 300 families and youth by addressing family
reunification, crisis intervention, and strengthening families' abilities
to cope with stress. This program helped avoid over $700,000 in
out -of -home placement costs.
♦ CO -OP (Communities Organizing Opportunities for People)
Northwest, a multi - sector venture addressing housing, jobs and
training, and related services, sponsored two think tank sessions
through its Human Services Enterprise Zone Study with the Family
Services Collaborative to assess needs in systematic ways. In
addition, CO -OP Northwest leveraged nearly $500,000 in funds
to support local community efforts.
♦ The Family Services Collaborative, a new initiative to support
families in community and schools, will implement strategies
developed by community members. Related to changing the way
our present services are delivered, the Council supports innovative
approaches developed by community members.

Serving as a link between citizens and government bodies is
addressed, in part, through the annual Community Social Services Act
(CSSA). This document is a citizen's human service priority report. A

The Council is committed to citizens participating in research

Because of our unique relationship with public, private, and nonprofit
sectors, the Council can provide effective, community -based planning and
research for the northwest Hennepin area.
Research Some services the Council provided in 1994 are as follows:
Requests and
Technical ♦ Age group statistics of each of the Census tracks in the Robbinsdale
Assistance School District so the district can plan long -term services.
♦ Bus tours for teachers from District 279 and Northridge Care
Center staff members to emphasize human service needs and how
those needs are affected by the location of services, employment,
transportation, recreational activities, and other community services.
♦ Information on transportation routes and family - friendly policies for
a major employer in the northwest area so the company can work
on issues of accessibility for its employees.
♦ The number of senior citizens in each zip code within northwest
Hennepin County so a senior service provider can make sure they
are serving the areas with high numbers of seniors.
It is important for cities to remain aware of the needs and issues in
Community their communities. The Community Profiles, which the Council compiles
Profiles wally, are a good way for cities to learn about the human service needs
of their residents. The Community Profiles cover topics such as population,
age, race, children, housing status, public assistance, domestic assaults, and
economic need. Each city's profile provides a handy and quick way for
decision makers to have access to the latest facts.

Every three years, the Council conducts a community needs TTVVV
assessment in the form of a phone survey. Traditionally, the survey has Phone
focused on the fifteen cities in the northwest area as a whole. The 1993- Survey
1994 survey broke the 15 -city area into three geographic areas: inner -,
middle -, and outer -ring communities. Over 1,100 surveys were completed
to fulfill the requirements for each stage to be statistically significant.
The age and household income breakdown of survey respondents
is closely related to that of the entire northwest Hennepin adult population.
The respondents also represented a variety of racial/ethnic backgrounds.
The survey revealed that people are generally supportive of city
funding for specific services. Drug awareness programs for grade school
children and domestic violence intervention and prevention programs
received the strongest support.
The survey also sought to identify the types of situations households
had experienced in the past year. The most commonly experienced
situations mentioned were inadequate health insurance, unemployment, and
financial assistance. Greater percentages of African American, Asian
American, Native American, and Hispanic
respondents' households experienced these —

Survey respondents said the most
pressing need of young children was good parenting. For school -aged
children, the most pressing need identified was after school/latch key
programs. The most pressing need for young and middle -aged adults was
job training. Home health care was identified as the most pressing need of
seniors, but home chores and transportation ranked closely behind.
Sixty -two percent of respondents would favor an increase in city
property taxes for basic city services, such as police protection and snow
removal. Almost 60% would favor an increase of city property taxes to fund
human services. The support of tax increases for city and human services
spread across all age groups and income ranges.
Plans to publicize the survey results will continue throughout 1995.

The Senior Services Network is made up of senior service -VVVV
providers in the northwest Hennepin area. The purpose is to help Strengthening
providers learn more about the senior services in the community, to Community
discuss issues related to seniors, and to get acquainted with one another. Partnerships
The Network focuses on topics that affect seniors and service
providers. Topics covered in recent years include: Crime Prevention and
Seniors, Housing Options for Frail Elderly, the National Eldercare Senior Services
Campaign, Helping Seniors Accept Cultural Diversity, Home Care Network
Regulations, and the Homes Plus Program.
Last October, the Network tackled a broader topic, senior services
in the outer -ring suburbs. They touched on a variety of services seniors
depend on such as transportation, chore projects, meal programs, housing,
service coordination, and information and referral. Many community
members and organizations presented information on these topics. The
participating community members and agencies included the cities of
Dayton and Osseo, Senior Community Services, CROSS, CEAP, Senior
Transportation, Hennepin County Pre - Admission Screening, and Common
Bond Communities. The Network identified the gaps in services, with the
hope gaps could be filled by future program planning and collaboration.
The Northwest Mental Health Advisory Committee consists of Northwest
Mental Health
human service providers, consumers of mental health services, and family
members of persons with mental illness. As part of the Council's citizen Advisory
participation process, they work to address the mental health needs and Committee
issues of the northwest Hennepin area. Their efforts are centered on
educating the community about mental health related issues and
advocating for services.
In 1994, the Committee co- sponsored a number of forums on
mental health issues with other community organizations. Forum topics
included: "Diagnosing and Treating Mood Disorders in Children and
Adolescents," "Depression: Just the Blues ? ", and "ADD /ADHD:
Diagnosis, Treatment, and Controversy." A
roundtable discussion, "Mental Health Coverage: "It is essential that ive all learn hou

Senior The Senior Leadership Committee is made up of representatives of
Leadership senior groups in the fifteen northwest Hennepin cities. The mission of the
Committee committee is "to explore needs and issues affecting older residents (ages 55
years or older) of the northwest Hennepin County area and make
recommendations to appropriate organizations." Representatives pass on
information about senior needs and services by reporting to their senior
clubs on a regular basis, putting together reports, and holding educational
forums for the public. The Senior Leadership Committee also worked to
identify needs of the community and to support the development of a
Widowed Persons Group.
The 1994 Senior Leadership forum, "Seniors in the Know: Keeping
Up With the Latest Medical and Legal Issues Affecting Seniors," provided
excellent information about the different models being proposed in the health
care reform process and how they would affect seniors. In addition, the
forum gave information about law projects that are available to seniors when
they need legal advice. Almost 400 people attended the forum held at the
Crystal Community Center.
Family and The Familv and Child Abuse Network brings together people from
Child Abuse schools, police departments, counseling agencies, and other sectors of the
Network community to work together to address the problems of family and child
abuse. In 1994 the Network held a ch 1 district s oo d st ct forum on workin g with
children and families to prevent violence. They also hosted a presentation by
Dr. Violeta Stan, a Child Neuro- Psychiatrist from Romania. While in
Minnesota, Dr. Stan explained her program that serves newborn children
abandoned at birth. The Network welcomed her international perspective on
children's issues as part of its continuing efforts to educate the community
about child abuse and neglect.

The Council strives for citizen participation in the human services VVVVV
planning process in many different ways, including surveys, focus groups,
and committees. The Advisory Commission dedicates the time of citizen Community
representatives from the fifteen cities in northwest Hennepin County to Social
assessing human service needs and making recommendations about how to
meet those needs. After a year -long process, the Commission prioritizes Services
the needs and their recommendations in a report. The report is widely Act
distributed to Hennepin County, local city governments, human services
agencies, churches, and other members of the northwest community.
In 1994, the Advisory Commission ranked the needs of the target
populations served by Hennepin County in the following order:
1) Family Services
2) Child Protection
3) Mental Health
4) Services to Seniors
5) Chemical Health
6) Physical Disabilities
7) Developmental Disabilities
Transportation, housing, education/awareness, employment, and health care
were also issues the Advisory Commissioners felt important to be addressed
by Hennepin County and other providers. In addition, the Commissioners
identified several broad themes that span the entire human service system.
Collaboration between services is a frequent focus in the human
services delivery system. While collaborations may help agencies
communicate better and plan programs together, consumers still do not
perceive a connection between agencies and their services. Collaboration
needs to be extended to the actual delivery of services and to
communicating information to the public.
Human services must work harder at connecting with diverse
populations in our communities. The system needs to be more sensitive to
the variety of people that pass through the system daily. The ability or
inability of providers to recognize and affirm diversity affects the
accessibility and effectiveness of services for all residents.

CO -OP Northwest was formed in 1992 and is administered by Northwest
NORTHWEST Hennepin Human Services Council. CO -OP Northwest primarily involves
the coordinated efforts of the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park,
Crystal, New Hope, and Robbinsdale in developing creative solutions to
common problems. Other partners in CO -OP Northwest include: school
districts (Anoka- Hennepin, Osseo, Robbinsdale and Brooklyn Center);
Hennepin County; the Metropolitan Council; North Hennepin Community

Northwest to address identified needs for housing affordability and
neighborhood stability. The Council developed a proposal with staff from
the CO -OP Northwest cities to obtain $274,100 in federal HOME funds.
The money is being used to create affordable housing for 20 low- and
moderate - income households. This is truly a collaborative effort. City
staff have taken the lead in completing many projects and the Council has
provided technical assistance, research, and grant writing for the CHDO.
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council also raised $37,000
from the Greater Minneapolis Metropolitan Housing Corporation and the
Minnesota Board of Innovation and Cooperation to help secure

contributed in -kind technical assistance and professional services
(approximately 15 hours per week) to support the CHDO and assist in

Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council along with the five
cities is also developing a regional housing plan for the CO -OP
Northwest area. With a $50,000 grant from the Minnesota Board of
Innovation and Cooperation, the Council will establish coordinated
housing programs and policies. Significant research was completed to
support this effort. A Regional Housing Report identified demographic
changes in the area, examined the condition and affordability of existing
housing, and compared housing policies and programs in the five cities. A
Multi- Family Housing Survey conducted last summer asked apartment
managers about the demographics of the rental housing population,
services provided at apartment communities, security and maintenance
issues, and rental housing policies. Other reports looked at transitional
housing needs, resources, and funding sources for coordinated housing
programs. Those studies include recommendations that will be
incorporated in the regional housing plan.

The Human Services Enterprise Zone is a r
pilot project to redesign the human services delivery
system in northwest Hennepin County. The project 4
is funded by a $50,000 grant from the Minnesota'`'
Housing Finance Agency provided by the Minnesota
Legislature. The project identified barriers to greater
coordination in service delivery and strategies for
overcoming those barriers. Think Tank sessions
were held with representatives of the community,
local government, school districts, social service
agencies, businesses, churches, and service delivery
experts. Speakers included Dr. Otis Johnson of the CHDO project ill Crystal
Chatham - Savannah Youth Futures Authority, Mike
Weber of the Edna McDonnell Clark Foundation, Ira Cuttler of the Annie
E. Casey Foundation, Shawn Huckleby of HUD, and Hope Melton of the
Saint Paul Office of Planning and Economic Development.
The Think Tank report included several action steps to increase
service coordination, some of which have already been implemented. The
project encouraged providers to work together to streamline the system;
thereby providing services more efficiently and in ways that help recipients
overcome barriers to self - sufficiency. The project will increase the self -
sufficiency of social service recipients in the CO -OP Northwest area so
they can support themselves with less help.

Point Northwest goes to the homes of families in crisis and
provides intervention strategies. Counselors work with youth aged 10 to
17, their parents, and siblings to change the behaviors that caused the
crisis and to work at bringing the family back together. Typically, these
families are under stress from abuse, neglect, inner family conflict,
chemical abuse, poor school performance, or the need for food and
shelter. Oftentimes calls for help come from parents, friends, police,
schools, churches, and agency staff aware that a youth is close to

As outreach counselors have become known and trusted by youth

of the youth were reunited with their family.

including corporations, churches, foundations (see page 38) and special
events. The fourth annual benefit concert was held in November
featuring Jeff Arundel and The Steeles. Those attending had a great time

Northwest counselors returned home after much hard work with
counselors and her parents. This 16- year -old youth ran after an ongoing
conflict with her parents resulted in a physical altercation with
no injuries. She lived on the streets of Uptown for three weeks
before moving in with a family friend. After two and a half Point Northwest Services in 1994
weeks there, the family she stayed with called Point Northwest. Number of youth served: 276
The outreach counselor found the family had poor Average Age: 14.5

counselor's involvement, changes began to occur.
Both parents became involved in counseling and parent
support groups. The youth worked with the counselor and did not revert
to depression or suicidal thoughts. After a month of working individually
and together, the family met and decided it was time to get back together
and continue working things out as a family.
Characteristics of Youth Served: Point Northwest continues to
serve the youth in need first identified by the community in 1988. The
issues youth were struggling with were gathered at meetings with youth
participants. The most frequently identified issues in 1994 were poor
communication skills (77 %), involved in parental conflict (48 %), issues
with authority (56 %), poor self image (51 %), and dealing with depression
(38%).
Intervention by Point Northwest counselors helped youth and
families begin to deal with these issues. For many serious behaviors,
counselors were able to intervene during a crisis, a time when families
want to get help and make changes, and connect them with long-term
services to begin healing the wounds of the conflict. In cases with less
serious issues, counselors helped both youth and parents make changes
before things grew more serious. Point Northwest counselors helped
many families stay together and develop healthier home lives for all
members.
Point Northwest has become an established service collaborative,
involving schools, churches, police, and other service providers
throughout the northwest area. People involved in Point Northwest- -
whether they are getting help, opening their homes to youth on the run,
supporting the program financially, or telling others about the program- -
have expressed their thanks that Point Northwest exists. Point Northwest
is successfully serving troubled youth in their home communities, and
strengthening families in the process. If it were not for the services of
Point Northwest, these youth and their families would often be using more
costly residential emergency shelter services.

VVVVV The Northwest Community Job Bank Project provides
Northwest comprehensive employment and training services for low- and moderate-
Community income residents of northwest Hennepin County at community -based
locations. The McKnight Foundation awarded Northwest Hennepin

employers and unemployed and under- employed residents. The project
uses an innovative approach to meet employment needs in the
community by seeking out potential employers and providing work-
readiness skills.
The Northwest Community Job Bank Project has three primary
components:
1) Accessibility to services for the target population
2) Community-based approach to providing services
3) Integration of services and providing neighborhood -based
organizations with the capacity to provide services.
The Job Banks are at CEAP, PRISM, and the Thorson Family

with several agencies and organizations to draw attention to the needs of
young children and their families. To name just a few, partnerships were
formed or renewed with Park Center High School, Chambers of Commerce,
and the Family Services Collaborative Planning Teams. These partners, and
many more, shared ideas and resources with Success By 6 Northwest so
goals could be accomplished.
Success By && Northwest completed its fourth year in the northwest
Hennepin area. As volunteers look to the future, new issues remain on the
horizon such as supporting working families and communicating the need for
family- friendly policies in the work place. Familiar concepts will be revisited
such as access to transportation services and generating public support for
issues that affect children and families. Success By 69 Northwest will
continue to implement strategies that will help children grow up ready and
prepared for school by age 6. Kids are counting on us.

Collaborative this collaborative involved two key components: research and the
development of Planning Teams.
Research conducted in the planning process involved reviewing
local and national community -based collaborations; holding focus groups

students; evaluating pilot projects in this community such as tutoring in an

comments and concerns in each planning area and was adopted by each of
the planning teams.
The mission of the Northwest Hennepin Family Services Collaborative is:
♦ To build a sense of community, maintain quality education,
strengthen families, and ensure safe neighborhoods by breaking
down barriers to communication and collaboration and
involving multiple sectors and communities to work together to
effect change.
The Planning Teams will implement the action strategies in 1995.
Each Planning Team worked separately to develop the community plan for
their area.

As a result, some issues were identified as goals in all three areas, and
others in either one or two areas. Four key areas were identified by all three
planning teams:

addition to support from the collaborative partners, for the above
mentioned strategies. Planning teams will begin implementation in the

VVVVV Since 1982, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has
Emergency administered the Emergency Services Program. This program, funded by
Services Hennepin County, provides one -time financial assistance to area residents
Program in need of emergency food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and utility
assistance. If this service was not available, the cost to society would be
much eater in terms of crime unemployment, homel ssne
gr homelessness, and the loss
of human potential.
The Emergency Services Program provided over $64,000 in direct
services to more than 700 residents of northwest Hennepin County in 1994.
Of this total, approximately 87% was spent cn rental assistance, 4% for
utilities, 4% for transportation, 1% for food, 3% for emergency overnight
shelter, and 1% miscellaneous. Financial assistance ranged from $5 to $457
per person.
Rental assistance has been the greatest area of need for the past
seven years. While the program serves individuals as well as families,
female- headed single- parent families continue to represent the largest
number of Emergency Service Program participants.

government cuts in 1994, the mass distribution program has been
discontinued. This service will be greatly missed by those it has helped.
Volunteers were the greatest asset of the TEFAP program. Nearly
150 volunteers donated almost 2,000 hours for the three yearly
distributions, homebound/high -rise deliveries, and office support. Without
their dedication and knowledge, this program could not have operated so

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
Council as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, 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 Council management. My responsibi-
lity 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, 1994 and 1993, 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-
dule 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 this schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures ap-
plied 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 statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was established by a joint and coopera-
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
common to similar organizations. The more 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.
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 appli-
cable to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue.
Contributed Commodities - The Council receives and distributes surplus
food commodities of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The value of
commodities received and distributed by the Council for the year ended
December 31, 1994 is not reflected in the accompanying financial state-
ments. There is no inventory of commodities since all commodities are
distributed currently.
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. All investments were considered to be cash equivalents at year end.
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
pay based upon length of employment. Vested or accumulated compensated
absences are reported as a liability of the Council in the accompanying
financial statements.
Income Tax - The Council is a joint powers organization of political sub-
divisions of the State of Minnesota. As such, the Council is deemed
exempt from federal and state income taxes.
Reclassifications - Certain amounts presented in 1993 have been reclas-
sified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
Note 2. Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents grants and contributions received by the Council which
are applicable to future periods. At December 31, 1994, deferred revenue of $282,305
consisted of funds available for expenses related to the Success By Six program and
programs and projects sponsored by the CO-OP Northwest, such as the law enforcement,
housing, cultural diversity and similar projects. Revenues will be recognized as
project expenses are incurred.
Note 3. Reserved Fund Balance
As of December 31, 1994, a portion of the fund balance has been restricted 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 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 $28,875 as of December 31, 1994.
The remaining restricted fund balance of $52,085 represents unexpended proceeds
from municipal contributions specified for a particular program.
The designated fund balance of $62,953 as of December 31, 1994, represents invest-
ment income and similar revenues designated for special projects and other tentative
plans regarding future expenditure of these financial resources as determined by
the Board of Directors.
Note 4. Lease Commitments
The Council leases space for its administrative offices under a lease agreement which
expired in June 1994. The lease required minimum monthly rental payments of $1,211,
which the Council has continued to make since expiration of the lease. Rental
expense pertaining to this lease for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993
was $14,536 and $13,446, respectively. The Council plans to continue leasing this
space on a month to month basis until a new lease agreement has been negotiated.
In addition, the Council entered into a lease agreement for certain office equip-
ment. Terms of this lease require monthly payments of $441 until the lease expires
in August of 1996; future minimum lease payments are $5,295 in 1995 and $3,530
in 1996. Lease payments for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $5,295
and $1,765, respectively.
Note 5. 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.

Note 6. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide
A. Plan Description
All full -time and certain part -time employees of the 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) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), which are cost -
sharing multiple - employer retirement plans. PERF members belong to either the
Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated members are covered by Social
Security and Basic members are not. All new members must participate in the Coor-
i Plan. All police officers, firefighters and
d Hated P1 n p i c peace officers who qualify g P
for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF. All current employees of the
Council belong to the Coordinated Plan of the PERF. The Council's payroll for
employees covered by PERF for the year ended December 31, 1994 was approximately
$216,300: the Council's total payroll was $232,456.
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-
ment 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 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 a
Basic member is 2% of average salary for each of the first ten years of service and
2.5% for.each remaining year. For a Coordinated member,.the annuity accrual rate
is 1% of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.5% for each remaining
year. Using Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.5% of average salary for Basic
members and 1.5% for Coordinated members. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual
rate is 2.65% for each year of service. For PEPF members whose annuity is calcu-
lated using Method 1, and for all PEPFF members, a full annuity is available when
age plus years of service equal 90.
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 contri-
butions 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.
B. Contributions Required and Contributions Made
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contribu-
tions. The Council makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the
amount required by state statutes.

Note 6. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide, continued
B. Contributions Required and Contributions Made, continued
According to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 356.215, the date of full funding required
for the PERF and PEPFF is the year 2020. As part of the annual actuarial valuation,
PERA's actuary determines the sufficiency of the statutory contribution rates to-
wards meeting the required full funding deadline. The actuary compares the actual
contribution rate to a "required" contribution rate. Current combined statutory
contribution n rates and actuarially required contribution rates for the plans are
as follows:
Statutory Rates
------------ - - --- -- Required
Public Employees Retirement Fund Employees Employer Rates
(Basic and Coordinated Plans) 4.30% 4.60% 9.58%
Public Employees Police and Fire Fund 7.90% 11.70% 17.45%
Contributions made by the Council for the year ended December 31, 1994 were:
Percentage of
Amounts Covered Payroll
Employees Employer Employee Employer
Public Employees Retirement Fund
(Basic and Coordinated Plans) $9,150 $9,690 4.23% 4.48%
The Council's contributions to the fund for the year ended June 30, 1994 (PERA's
fiscal year and), represented less than 1% of the total contributions required of
all participating entities.
C. Funding Status and Progress
1. Pension Benefit Obligation
The pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the pre-
sent value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary in-
creases and step -rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future.as a result
of employee service to date. The measure, which is the actuarial present value of
credited projected benefits, is intended to help users assess PERA's funding status
on a going- concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets
to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among Public Employees Retirement
Systems and among employers. PERA does not make separate measurements of assets
and pension benefit obligation for individual employers.

---- - - ---- --- -- - - --
Unfunded (Assets in Excess of) Pension
Benefit Obligations $891.8 ($208.8)
The measurement of the pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valua-
tion as of June 30, 1994. Net assets available to pay pension benefits were valued
as of June 30, 1994.
2. Changes in Plan Provisions and Actuarial Assumptions
The 1994 legislative session did not include any benefit improvements which would
impact funding costs for the PERF and the PEPFF. Prior to 1994, actuarial assump-
tions used in the calculation of pension benefit obligation were the same for the
PERF and the PEPFF. For the July 1, 1994 actuarial valuation, PERA approved new
mortality rates updated to the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table, salary increases
which were changed to a select and ultimate table and a new payroll growth assump-
tion which was changed from 6.5% to 6%. These changes were made to reflect actual
experience of the plan. With the adoption of these changes, the pension benefit
obligation of the PERF increased $56.6 million. The actuarial assumption changes
also necessitated a $81.2 million transfer from the PERF Benefit Reserve to the
PERF Minnesota Post Retirement Investment Fund to finance the increased obligation
for future retirement benefits. Potential changes in the assumptions used for the
PEPFF may be made after completion of an experience study expected by February 1995.
D. Ten -Year Historical Trend Information
Ten year historical trend information is presented in PERA's Component Unit Finan-
cial Report for the year ended June 30, 1994. This information is useful in asses-
sing the pension plan's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits
as they become due.
E. Related Party Transactions
As of June 30, 1994, and for the fiscal year then ended, PERA held no securities
issued by the Council, its member cities or other relatod parties.

advocacy
3. Describe the target group for services of the organization.
Victims of domestic violence in Brooklyn Center, Champlin, Maple Grove, and Robbinsdale. Because
of the scope of the problems, the majority of our clients are battered women who are currently in
or have been in abusive relationships. However, we provide support services to men as well as to
some individuals who are victimized by strangers or acquaintances. Our clients span the range of
',LemographyI in c.Lass, age, race, and sexual preference.
-1- March 1994
4. Describe how the organization is marketed, and to what geographical and
demographical areas Project P.E.A.C.E. is marketed through:
1) Police referrals: City :law enforcement officials are trained and informed about Project PEACE
and they in turn refer victims to the program (within the 4 cities).
2) Agency networking: Participation in the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women and networking
with other agencies providing similar /related services (statewide, Hennepin County, & NW Henn).
3) Newspaper ads and flyers /posters and brochure distribution in the four cities through local
businesses, doctors, media, agencies, etc.

9. Describe use of all in -kind contributions, and include estimated value of each in -kind
contribution.
Copies - approximately 50 pages per week
Postage - approximately $6.40 per week
Copies are made of police reports (non - confidential only), court orders, training materials, etc.
Postage is primarily to send orders to victims but also includes training and volunteer materials
10. a. Describe use of volunteers.
Project P.E.A.C.E. relies on 15 -20 volunteers to staff the 24 hour crisis line and 1 -5 volunteers
for clerical /office/ and day advocacy. The majority of Project P.E.A.C.E. staff are volunteers.
b. Describe how the use of volunteers affects or reduces your budget.
As detailed above, most staff are volunteer. This reduces are personnel budget significantly.
COMMUNITY NEED
11. Explain the community need for the proposed service.
Domestic abuse is the leading cause of injury to women aged 15 to 44, more common than car
accidents, muggings, and rapes combined (U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop). The Centers For
Disease Control estimates that 1 in 2 women will be battered in her lifetime. Domestic violence
is no less a problem in Brooklyn Center.
12. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups with special needs in
the proposed service (if applicable). Project P.E.A.C.E. is the only program providing
direct services in an on- going, community based manner to victims of domestic violence. Without
a domestic abuse intervention project, a community can expect that victims will not seek services
or have information about non - community based programs, police and prosecutors spend longer hours
on information /support /referrals with victims. Victims will be more likely to recant in criminal
cases and less effective in civil cases. There will be decreased levels of community resident
and system awareness of the scope of the problem. With a domestic abuse program based in its
community, a city reduces the likelihood of injury and homicide to victims of domestic abuse as
well as increases the coordinated community response.
-3- March 1994
13. Describe how Brooklyn Center benefits from the services provided.
Police spend less time at the scene of a domestic crime. City prosecutors -spend less time with
victims, more victims follow through on criminal prosecution and civil litigation. Awareness
is increased and more safety is available to citizens.
14. a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the
community.
There are no other domestic abuse programs serving Brooklyn Center. We network extensively with
other agencies providing related services or working in other communities.
b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the current needs.
Other neighboring battered women's programs do not serve Brooklyn Center. Other agencies
(counseling, social services, legal advocacy) do not serve victims of domestic abuse specifically
15. State the total numbers of people from all communities who participate or receive
direct benefits, and describe how these numbers were determined.

Robbinsdale, Minnesota
I have compiled the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities
and fund balance - cash basis of Project P.E.A.C.E. as of December
31 1994 and the
related statement of revenues and expenses - cash
basis for the one and twelve months then ended, in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The
financial statements have been prepared on the cash basis of
accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than
generally accepted accounting principles.
A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial
statements information that is the representation of management.
I have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial
statements and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other
form of assurance on them.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures
and the statement of changes in fund balance ordinarily included in
financial statements prepared on the cash basis of accounting. If
the omitted disclosures were included in the financial statements,
they might influence the user's conclusions about the
organization's assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues, and
expenses. Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed
for those who are not informed about such matters.

taxes. Also included under the fringe benefits line item is the
payment of health insurance for both full -time ees em to

($1200 /EACH) and the part -time comm org /legal advocate ($600 /EACH) .
CONTRACT SERVICES
The only agency with which we contract is Ambassador Communications
to answer our 24 -hour crisis line and to page the on -call
advocates. This is determined by a rate /per number of calls per
month system. We
y pay $165 /month 400 calls plus .40 call over 400.
TRAVEL
This line item covers mileage for the staff and group facilitators
at a rate of
.24 /mile; and p arking s taff / p g for t ff dur�.ng court
appearances. The amount for the parking varies according to the
location ($1 -$2 /hour).
TRAINING

training ew volunteers teers through the Minnesota Coalition for
Battered Women
continued trainin g for staff and volunteers on new
laws, legislation, 4.ntervention skills, fundraising, cultural
diversity, new curriculum for groups, and other issues pertaining
to domestic violence. Each person is allotted roughly $167 /year to

ATTACHMENT C
PRINTING
This includes the following:
Project brochures (2,000) describing the project and its
services. These will be given to interested parties by the
coordinator, legal advocates, and on -call advocates.
Business cards (1,000) for the coordinator and advocates.
Letterhead (2,50 sheets) to be used by the staff for
correspondence.
Second page sheets (2,500 sheets) to be used in conjunction
with the letterhead.
Project envelopes (2,500 envelopes; to be used for project
mailings.
TELEPHONE
The estimated cost ($1200) of maintaining two working telephone
lines.
RENT /MORTGAGE
This is the most crit::cal line item in th•a 1995 budget. The office
space provided p p ided for by Brooklyn Center is no longer sufficient.
Since the program has grown, the need for additional space has
become of utmost importance. We have three staff eo le and
P P ,
sometimes four with a volunteer, working in a 150 square foot area
with four desks, si:: chairs, two file, cabinets, refrigerator,
computer, printer, and bookcase.
More importantly, we have women who are coming into our office to
file Orders For Protection, or to discuss a criminal case. These
women are pouring their hearts out and relaying incidents of
physical, emotional, and sexual abuse inflicted upon them and their
children. It is absolutely horrendous that they have no privacy,
whatsoever, with their advocate, during this time. This is
compounded by the fact that we share the entrance to our office
with the Economic Development staff. People not associated with
our program are walking in and out of our office during these
emotionally difficult meetings. Besdi3es the the space issue
g P
(possibly ly seven people in our 150 square feet at one time) and the
privacy issue, there is a serious confidentiality breach with
strangers coming in and out and overhearing or noticing the women
in our office.
ATTACHMENT D
UTILITIES
The estimated cost of utilities for the Dffice space ($1,800).
INSURANCE
The annual premium for our liability insurance ($2,800) carried
through the Cortes Agency.
OFFICE SUPPLIES
The estimated cost ($1,500) of office supplies for 1995.
EQUIPMENT
The cost of pager rental for the staff itnd advocates based on 26
pagers @ $108 /yr /pag-ar.
OTHER
A 5% contingency is .required under the board's mandate. The 5%
contingency ($4,341) is based upon the basic budget for the four
communities.
The four cities contribute an amount ($400) to be used to recognize
the volunteers that devote so much of 4eir energy to making the
program successful.

FORMULA
The Joint Powers Boa::d decided in 1992 to develop a formula to
determine percentage payment in the preceding years. The formula
is based partially on population and partially on incidents of
domestic violence reported to the police department.
PART A: (City population /total population of all cities) x .5
This provides the individual city's percentage of the total
population covered by Project P.E.A.C.E. This amount is multiplied
by .5 to give it equal weighting with Part B.
PART B: (city's average # of reports of domestic violence /total
average of reports for all cities) x .5
The number of reports includes the number of reported incidents of
domestic violence, plus the number of arrests. The number of
arrests is counted twice to reflect the more time spent by the
when an arrest program t is involved. Dividing i iding the average number
for a city over the span of one year by the total average for all
cities provides us with a percentage of the city's incidents of
domestic violence. Once again this number is multiplied by .5 to
give it equal weighting with Part A.
PART A + PART B = PERCENTAGE OF BUDGET TO BE PAID BY A CITY
This formula has been used, with a variety of terms, by other joint
community programs to determine payment, Here is a breakdown of
percentages to be

STAFF BREAKDOWN
COORDINATOR 1 POSITION:
See ATTACHMENT G for original position description. This position
is currently being held by Daneen Bergland. Daneen has been with
Project P.E.A.C.E. since August of 1992.. She would perform legal
advocacy duties, mainly in civil court (Re.straining Orders, custody
and visitation). The additional duties she would acquire are:
1) Supervision of educational/ support groups. We currently
offer three groups: two in Brooklyn Center and one in
Champlin. In the future, a group should be offered in
Maple Grove and Robbinsdale. This person would also
oversee any new groups, such a3 children's groups or
groups for men who batter.
2) Project P.E.A.C.E. Board Liasion. I believe that it
would be in everyone's best interest to have one
person who represents the activities of Project
P.E.A.C.E. to the board members. In this format, the
Board would have one person whDm they could always
contact. Obviously, any of the staff members would
be available for the Board.
i
3) Accountant Liasion. Since Daneen has been with the
project froia close to its beginning, I believe that
she could best represent to Boa Murphey what
expenditures are necessary. Realistically, since
Mr. Murphey became our accountant, this duty
consists of gathering together bills, time sheets,
mileage reimbursement forms, petty cash receipts,
and purchase requests once every two weeks, not
a huge time commitment.
This position would be full -time (as it currently is now) and paid
at a rate of $10 /hr with the same benefits as previously provided.
The pay raise (from projected 1995 rat; of $9.50 /hr to $10 /hr)
reflects the additional duties being assigned.
COORDINATOR 2 POSITION:
This would be a newly created position due to the elimination of
one, overall PROJECT COORDINATOR (see ATTACHMENT I). See the
original position description for a Legal Advocate (ATTACHMENT G) .
The difference would be to provide legal advocacy duties in
criminal court (arrests, hearings, sentencings). The additional
duties that would be acquired are:
1) Law Enforcement Liasion: As (ou know, one of the
most important aspects of my job as Project
Coordinator was to establish a working relationship
with as many of the officers as possible. I
believe that one of the best aspects of Project
P.E.A.C.E. has been our push to have a better
mutual understanding between officers and advocates
of our various job duties. Also, this duty would also
encompass monitoring police reports coming into
the Project P.E.A.C.E. office, charges filed
against alleged perpetrators, and any training
of officers on new laws and legislation.
2) Supervision of the 24 -hour crisis line: This
position would oversee the scheduling of crisis
advocates (both staff and volunteer) and act as
a liasion between Project P.E.A.C.E. and
Ambassador Communications which serves as our
answering facility to ensure effective and
efficient service.
3) Compilation�of statistics: Tha Coordinator 2 would
also be in charge of compiling the monthly, quarterly,
and yearly statistics which have been provided to the
Board. {
This would be full -time (replacing the full -time PROJECT
COORDINATOR position) and paid at a rate of $10 /hr (as opposed to
the $12.98/hr rate of the PROJECT COORDINATOR position) with the
same benefits as those accorded the 'Coordinator 1 position.
Michelle Cleveland is currently a half -time employee for Project
P.E.A.C.E. She joined us in January of 1994 as primarily a back-
up legal advocate in both civil and criminal court. Besides those
duties, she also provided on -call advocacy for the crisis line,
assisted in the collection of statistics, and has been our, liasion
with the Northwest .Family Violence Forum. I would advise that
Michelle be offered this full -time position to complete the
consistency and knowledge of Project ;).E.A.C.E. that would be
needed upon my leaving.
t
I
COMMUNITY ORGANIZER /LEGAL ADVOCATE:
See ATTACHMENT H for position description. A half -time position
is currently being held by Michelle Cleveland (see above).
Presently, that position is only a relief legal advocacy position,
but, in this form, would become more of z community organizer. In
g
m tenure as Project Coord'
Y � inator, I bec<tme increasingly 1 aware of
the need for one person to focus on volunteer recruitment and
fundraising /public education. As I have discussed at prior board
meetings, I believe that we are reaching our peak in terms of money
that cities will budget for this program. Other financial outlets,
i such as additional public or private sources, must be located. The
community's ever increasing needs in the area of domestic violence
both reactive and proactive, will not cease just because cities
cannot budget for higher amounts. Therefore, we need someone who
can spend the time to locate and apply for these available monies
to meet the community's needs.
Also, you have heard me lament about thy necessity of recruiting
and training more re volunteers. This too, takes a true commitment
of time that one, overall project coordin cannot make. Without
our volunteers, this program does not run, and, more than likely,
does not exist. The more volunteers we have the less likely
already existing volunteers will be to suffer burn out and leave.
I think that it is essential to the survival of this project to
have a position in which one of the top priorities is to focus on
this rob
p lem.
Finally, whomever would be hired for this position must not only
have experience in the field of domestic violence, they must also
have experience in legal advocacy. This will enable the employee
to act as a relief legal advocate for the co- coordinators should
they take sick or vacation leave.

PROTECT, EDUCATE, ADVOCATE, COMFORT, AND EMPOWER
Project P.E.A.C.E it; a multi - municipal, governmental program
serving the communities of Brooklyn Center, Champlin, Maple Grove,
and Robbinsdale in northwest Hennepin county. The day -to -day
operations and policy decisions are under the direction of the
Project Coordinator.
r
PURPOSE:
To provide maximum protection and advocacy for women who have
been battered b their intimate partners or family members
Y P Y
in a non-judgemental
environment which promotes respect for
the woman and her individual circumstances.
To create a uniform response, in accordance with existing and
future state laws,;to domestic assault by making agencies,
institutions, helping systems, and individuals in our
communities more a - dare and responsive to the dynamics of
abusive relationships.
To reduce the number of incidents of violence against
women in our communities by offering a support system for women
who have been battered; denouncing violence as an acceptable
response; holding assailants accountable for their
assaultive behavior and offering educational and support systems
to women who are trying the in to end t violence in their lives.
PHILOSOPHY:
Domestic violence,`or battering, is a series of tactics used
to control and maintain power of one partner over another.
These tactics consist of physical, sexual, and emotional
violence, intimidation, blaming, threats of violence or
retribution against the woman or children, isolation from
friends
and family, and economic abuse.
Violence is a matter of choice and abusers are responsible for
their behavior. No person makes another person be violent.
No one deserves to be battered.
Although battering often occurs between individuals in an
intimate, sexual relationship, it may also occur in
relationships s between siblings, roommates, P g , inmate , and parent /child.
The root cause of violence against women, including battering,
as with violence against other groups, is oppression. The
oppression of women, or sexism, is directly related to
the oppression of other groups in our culture which constitutes
racism, heterosexism, ageism, and ableism. Therefore, we, as
an organization, will work to eradicate this oppression from
our culture, insititutions, communities, and women's lives.

After reviewing Peacemaker statistics for the month of August, it
appeared that the statistics for 1995 were incorrect. The correct
data is listed below:
1995 - (The following information is year -to -date through
the month of August.)
143 - Brooklyn Center Residents served by the program.
213 - Total number of offenses that occurred in
Brooklyn Center. (year -to- date).
- Estimated projection should be 300+ for 1995.
- (1994 FULL statistical data is included with
our application.)
At our monthly Board Meeting today, Board Members emphasized that above
the number of juveniles that are residents of Brooklyn Center, is the
number of juveniles that actually offend in this city. Diverting these
offenders from the court system directly reflects on Brooklyn Center
statistical data of juvenile crimes per capita. Diverting the referrals
improves the data and is a more accurate picture of juvenile activity.
Thank you for passing this on to the appropriate people.

Dear Ms. Gohman:
Enclosed please find the information you requested in your letter dated August 25, 1995.
I have broken down client counts for zip codes 55428, 55429, and 55430 by program.
Hopefully, this will make interpretation of CEAP's numbers a little easier. As you can
see, a few of our programs base their statistics on number of visits; therefore, the
numbers recorded are higher. Many of CEAP's services are provided on an ongoing or
sporadic basis. I've outlined the basis for counts by each program, and have indicated
whether or not these client counts are duplicated or unduplicated.
There has been a change in classifying clients from 1994 to 1995. This change is
reflected in the descriptions on the count sheets. The changes are not service changes,
but merely changes in terminology.
I hope that this information will provide a clearer picture of how many Brooklyn Center
residents CEAP services, and what services they receive from LEAP. Unfortunately,
many of our data collection processes duplicate client counts, but CEAP does need to
track number of visits, as well as intensity of services.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank you for your consideration of CEAP's proposal.
Sincerely,
Karen R Neis

Dear Ms. Gohman,
In response to your August 25th letter, in 1994, we served 93
Brooklyn Center residents. To date in 1995, we have served 112
Brooklyn Center residents. Projecting this number for the next four
months, conservatively, we will have served over 150 residents in 1995.
We anticipate serving close to 200 Brooklyn Center residents in 1996.
This increase is in part due to our involvement in Housing Court and
Minnesota Department of Human Rights mediation cases.
We are willing and able to handle more referrals from the city.

Nancy Gohman
City of Brooklyn Center
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430
Dear Nancy,
You recently requested information on the number of residents we
had served from the City of Brooklyn Center.
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council is a joint powers
organization, originally formed by nine of the fifteen cities in
Northwest Hennepin County, including Brooklyn Center, to serve as
each municipality's human services planning and coordinating
department. In fulfilling this role our primary service is for
policy makers and city staff and for service providers who serve
people living in Brooklyn Center.
While direct services are not are main purpose, we do administer a
number of direct service programs which benefitted Brooklyn Center
residents. We have resubmitted forms that show the number of
residents served in 1994 through Surplus Commodities, the Emergency
Services program, and Point Northwest for Runaway Youth. In
addition, we have had articles on parenting tips published in city
and local newspapers which have benefitted in Brooklyn Center
residents who have read them. We have distributed numerous drawing
books, tip cards, resource cards, and other materials to Brooklyn
Center residents.
We have disseminated directories of services to human service
agencies, churches and other groups that serve Brooklyn Center
residents to help them in doing their job. We have provided free
forums on mental health issues and senior topics to which hundreds
of residents have come, many of whom lived in Brooklyn Center.
We have provided reports, research information and other data to
policy makers and agencies to help plan for better services that
both meet needs and carefully utilized resources. Our work with
the human rights commissions related to bias response plans and
diversity, with city planners on housing, with front line staff
regarding resource information for making referrals for residents,
with police departments on distribution of information, and other
city staff help them in their jobs on behalf of Brooklyn Center as
well.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
1. Generally describe the program /agency, including its mission, date
established, services, and goals.
Date established: 1972
Mission: The mission of the Northwest Hennepin Human
Services Council is to plan for and
coordinate human services within the
communities of northwest Hennepin County.
Major Goals: * To promote and initiate the establishment of
necessary human services as defined through
an on -going needs assessment process..
• To coordinate existing services and foster
communication among units of government and
service providers.
• To promote effective community awareness of
services and special needs groups.
Services: The Northwest Hennepin Human Service Council
has provided two direct services to the
communities of the northwest area. These
direct services include: Surplus
Commodities' distribution, and Emergency
Services. In addition, the Council provides
indirect services such as needs assessments,
data collection and dissemination,
preparation and distribution of service
directories and cards, staff support for
service provider networks, presentations on
timely issues, lobbying and supportive
efforts for needed services for the area,
promotion of special needs groups,
orientation.to the northwest area for new
service providers, organizations and /or
support of information -fairs, technical
assistance to service providers, sponsoring
of ,
trainin g .sessions and service on issues
committees.
The Council also administers Point NW, which
serves families and children who are runaway,
throwaway or homeless; CO -OP NW, a
multi- sector housing, related services,
'Surplus Commodities was terminated by Congress at the end of
1994.
jobs and training efforts, which also
includes work in diversity inclusiveness in
these communities; administers the Northwest
Community Law Enforcement Project, the
Enhanced Housing Initiative including
Grades -R -Us, a tutoring project, and a Jobs
Bank outreach project; Success by Six
Northwest, an early childhood initiative,
funded by United Way, which looks at barriers
kids face to be successful in life and
strategies to overcome those barriers; Family
Services Collaborative which shares the
purpose of the agency with a focus on
redesigning systems and involving community
representatives to a greater degree in the
process.
2. Explain the areas of expertise of the program /agency, including a
description of the range of staff capability.
The Council has expertise in the areas of progam development,
program administration, program evaluation, research, primary
and secondary data analysis, service availability, service
funding sources, lobbying, community organizing, and
information dissemination.
Key staff persons have extensive education and experience in
program administration, program planning, research
techniques, data analysis, verbal and written communication,
community organizing, and fundraising. Resumes are included
in the supporting documentation section of this report.
3. Describe the target group for services of the program /agency.
The target groups for the direct service programs delivered
by the Council are those persons and /or households who meet
the income guidelines for the programs as defined by the
contracting entity. Generally speaking, these persons and /or
households are low- income. Applications are made for the
programs and eligibility is determined through intake and
verification processes as stipulated in program regulations.
The target groups for the indirect services offered by the
Council are broad and diverse. These include municipalities,
Hennepin County Community Services Division, service
providers, businesses, organizations and citizens of the
northwest area.
4. Describe how the program is marketed, and to what geographical and
demographical areas.
Each of the programs delivered by the Council is marketed
through varying techniques and to varying demographical
areas. All programs are marketed to the fifteen communities
of the northwest area. Examples of marketing efforts
include:
* Surplus Commodities distributions are marketed through
newspaper announcements, flyers, posters, resource card
distribution and church bulletins.
* All Council programs have been marketed through cable TV
programming, brochure and flyer distribution, press releases
to local media sources. Two new agency brochures completed
in 1988 have been utilized extensively for marketing
purposes. A special marketing folder was created for
distribution in 1990. The annual report is a major document
produced annually.
* Services are made known through networking activities,
mailings, focus groups, annual reports, and directory and
report distribution.
* Services to municipalities are marketed through the
development and presentation of localized municipal profiles.
5. Discuss the methodology employed in measuring the effectiveness of
the program /agency.
The effectiveness of the Council is measured in a variety of
ways. Examples include:
* Written data that is disseminated is accompanied by an
evaluation form order for the receiver to assess the
appropriateness and completeness of the data. Suggestions
are made and often incorporated on the usefulness of the
data.
* The Surplus Commodities Program was evaluated regularily by
the State of Minnesota. An audit is conducted annually to
assess the operation of the program.
* Hennepin County Community Services Division Managers are
required to give feedback to the Council on the usefulness of
the CSSA report produced by the Council. Feedback in the
past years has been very favorable in terms of the quality of
program- specific recommendations being made to the County.
* All forums, presentations, and training sessions offered by
the Council are evaluated in writing by the participants at
the conclusion of the session.
* The average percentage of overhead and administration costs
for the direct services delivered by the Council is
approximately ten percent. Contracts for the indirect
services such'as Community Planning and the Community Social
Services Act are 100% designated for the administrative costs
of delivering the indirect services.
BUDGET
Dollar Amount Requested:
Participating Municipality Contribution $ 9,987.00

Administration Costs
6.& 7. List specific secured and anticipated sources of
contributions available to the applicant.
Project funds are secured for the Point NW for runaway youth
from a wide variety of sources including foundations,
churches, corporations and individuals. Some service fees
are charged for some project work. Anticipated funds include
municipal contributions, three contracts from Hennepin County
(for Community Planning, CSSA, and Emergency Services as well
as contracts for Pt. NW and a Hennepin County grant for the
five -city NW Community Law Enforcement Project), and a
McKnight grant for the jobs bank project. United Way has
provided funding for Success By Six Northwest. Requests will
be made to Hennepin County and the State of Minnesota for
on -going funding in the areas indicated.
All funds are anticipated at this point in the year for 1995.
See attached budget sheets.
8. List in -kind contributions requested from the City.
Posters from poster machine.
Use of community room for meetings.
Volunteer involvement.
2 This is the projected budget and is always flucuating depending on grants. The budget to Hennepin
County is submitted mid - summer. This budget is consistent with the past two years and includes both operating
and pass - through dollars used to support community and municipal activities in the Northwest Hennepin area.
9. Describe use of in -kind contributions, and include estimated value
of each in -kind contribution.
The Council receives a variety of in -kind contributions.
Examples include free printing of flyers and posters to
advertise the Council's Community events from several cities
and from local printers. Specific contributions have been
received by the Council in the past for the Community
forums. These contributions have included folders, free
speakers, beverages, space and door prizes.
For 1994, the primary in -kind contributions were in the area
of in -kind staff time which is included in section 9b. on use
of volunteers and related impact on budget.
10a. Describe use of volunteers.
The Council is very dependent upon the service of volunteers
to deliver its services to the communities of the northwest
area. The following numbers are the volunteer hours
contributed to the Council in 1993:
InOffice ........................... 850 hours
Surplus Commodities .................1,560 hours
CSSAprocess ........................ 704 hours
Point NW ............................ 500 hours
Success by 6 NW .....................1,800 hours
CO -OP NW . .......................... hours
6,614 hours
These hours are contributed by over 750 individuals who are
recruited from all parts of the northwest area. Two major
volunteer recognition events are sponsored by the Council
annually. These include an annual potluck dinner and
distribution of certificates to the volunteers of the Surplus
Commodities program, and an annual dinner as part of the
Annual Meeting, for the Advisory Commissioners who sponsor
the CSS
A process. Anew Invest Northwest awards process
was also established in 1992 to recognize contributions by
community members.
10b. Describe how the use of volunteers impacts your budget.
Clearly, the use of volunteers in our organization is
critical to our services. The additional clerical support
would cost us approximately $8,500.00 without volunteer
assistance. Our surplus commodities budget is only
$6,200.00, yet we leverage over 1300 hours of help from over
150 people to distribute commodities. Volunteer host homes
for Point NW saved approximately $1,800 in shelter costs in
1994.
11. Explain the community need for the proposed service, including a
discussion of possible alternative sources for those services
available within the community. Describe why those alternative
services are not fulfilling the current needs.
Good information for all decision makers is increasingly more
essential as resources become more limited and needs continue
to grow. We are the only agency that serves as a source of
data for cities, human service agencies and others to help
toward quality decision making about human service
programming.
12. Explain the community benefits including what you do for groups
with special needs in the proposed service (if applicable).
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has a broad array
of human services which have been described in this text.
Accommodations are made for people with special needs.
Examples include brailling the Advisory Commission packets
and listing the availability of accommodations upon request
on flyers or event brochures.
13. Describe how Brooklyn Center residents benefit from the services
provided.
Residents of Brooklyn Center receive financial assistance in
the areas of emergency housing, transportation, food,
utilities, fuel assistance and surplus commodities through
direct service delivered by the Council. They also receive
referrals to other services available in the community when
they call the Council for information. They received service
resource cards and other service information produced by the
Council, and they benefit from new or expanded services
available to the area as the result of the lobbying and
coordination efforts of the Council.
14a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available
within the community.
14b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the
current needs.
There also is no other organization available that
specializes in the collection and dissemination of data or
the assessment of needs specific to the northwest area of
Hennepin County. Requests for information and data relative
to the northwest has continued to increase every year. There
are no alternative sources in the community for the direct
services offered by the Council as we are the sole entity
contracted to deliver these programs. The need for Surplus
Commodities distribution, and for Emergency Assistance
coordination continues to grow as evidenced by
ever - increasing numbers of persons served.
15. State the total number of people from all communities who
participate or receive direct benefits, and describe how these
numbers were determined.
Many of our activities are in- direct in nature. Our
planning, research and coordinating functions helped many
people from many cities and are our primary functions.
Direct services represent only a small percent of our agency
functions or represent programs for which we provide funds
but contract out for the services.
For 1994, in terms of direct services, we served 5,362
households for surplus commodities and provided approxi-
mately 956 persons with emergency loans. We anticipate
similar numbers in these direct services next year.
16a. State the numbers of residents from Brooklyn Center only who are
served, and describe how these numbers were determined.
In 1994, 1,234 Brooklyn Center residents received surplus
commodities and $6,562.00 was provided in emergency services
loans to Brooklyn Center residents. Eighty -three youth and
families were served in Brooklyn Center in 1993, worth
$30,000 in service.
Projected total to be served next year.
Emergency Services: Approximately 100 residents of
Brooklyn Center are expected to receive emergency services
through the Hennepin County contract administered by the
Council in 1995. Approximately 100 youth and families will
be served by the Point Northwest.
These projections are based upon past program usage and area
demographic trends. These are for the direct services only.
The majority of our services are indirect and benefit
Brooklyn Center residents via the establishment of various
services and programs which we have helped to support.
16b. What percent of the total residents served are from Brooklyn
Center?
Brooklyn Center residents represent less than 10% of the total
Northwest Hennepin population. 20.2% of Point Northwest services were
for Brooklyn Center residents. 21% of Surplus Commodities
expenditures and 10.2% of emergency services program expenditures went
to residents of Brooklyn Center. Indirect services received by
Brooklyn Center exceeded the percentage represented of the total
population.
17. What would be the consequences to your program /agency of not
receiving the amount requested?
The Northwest Hennepin Human Council was founded under a
Joint Powers Agreement by area municipalities to serve
collectively where no one city felt capable of serving alone.
Since the municipalities created the Council to coordinate
human services issues on their behalf, the funding from
municipalities forms the base of the organization's support.
The Council could not leverage Hennepin County funds without
the show of support of the municipalities and needs these
dollars to fulfill its primary mission..
