Adjournment • • MEMORANDUM l • TO: Mayor Myrna Kragness, Council Members Barb Kalligher, Kristen Mann, Kathleen Carmody, Debra Hilstrom, Interim City Manager Cam Andre FROM: Charlie Hansen, Finance Director C H DATE: November 2, 1995 SUBJECT: Proposed 1996 Annual Budget On September 13, 1995, the City Council met and adopted a Preliminary Property Tax Levy and Preliminary Budget for the Year 1996. The adopted preliminary budgets were just for those funds which g ,1 levy property taxes. Budgets for all other funds have yet to be discussed by the City Council. Within the budgets the City Council adopted, a number of changes were made to the City Manager's Proposed Budget. In some cases, specific items were identified to be cut from a department budget. In other cases, just a dollar amount was reduced from a department, with the specific items to be cut to be identified by the City Council later this fall. • Since the September 13th meeting, we have received updated information on a couple of revenues. The State of Minnesota has sent revised Homestead Credit amounts. The General Fund HACA will be $718 higher, and the H.R.A. Fund HACA will be $79 lower than reported in the Proposed Budget. Special Assessment Bonds of 1995 were sold on October 10, 1995. I had included an estimate of the required property tax levy in the Proposed Budget. The actual property tax levy will be less than my estimate and the difference can be shifted to the General Fund. If the City Council chooses to make this change, $9,711 more will be available to the General Fund. The HACA and property tax changes together could make $10,429 more available to the General Fund while the H.R.A. and E.D.A. need cuts of $79. GENERAL FUND The following issues in the General Fund budget were left open with cuts to be identified by the City Council: 1. The appropriations of $50,636 for Project PEACE and $30,900 for • I.N.V.I.T.E. were moved from the Police Department to the Social Services Department, increasing Social Services to $128,547. This amount was then cut by $50,000 with the programs being cut to be decided later. A request for $5,000 from CEAP which wasn't recommended by the City Manager has been added to the list. The amount included in the Police Department budget for Project PEACE was incorrect. They are asking for $47,953, not $50,636. The total now requested is $130,864. The amount included in the City Council's preliminary budget is $78,547, $52,317 must be cut. Project PEACE is a joint powers agreement and notice of withdrawal must be given by August lst. The City is committed to funding them for $47,953 in 1996. The 5 Cities Senior Transportation Project is a joint powers agreement and the City is committed to funding them through April 30, 1996 in the amount of $3,866. This leaves $26,728 available to fund the remaining programs the City Council selects. A summary of the programs is attached. 2. The City Council cut $50,000 from Data Processing Department capital outlay requests of $117,555 with the items to be cut to be decided later. Additional material on these requests is attached. 3. The City Council cut $3,900 from the Streets Department with the item to • be cut needing to be identified. 4. The City Council approved a proposal to increase Recreation revenues by $20,000. Subsequently, there was some uncertainty about the best way to raise this revenue. A staff memo recommending the revenue increase is attached. The City Council still has the option of making any other change to the General Fund budget that you may wish, with the exception of raising the property tax. H.R.A. and E.D.A. Preliminary budgets for the HRA and EDA were adopted by the City Council without change from the City Manager's proposed budget. The subsequent $79 reduction of HACA now requires a change. The HACA reduction affects HRA revenues. All HRA moneys are transferred to the EDA where expenditures take place. This requires reductions in the budget for HRA revenues, transfers from HRA to EDA, and EDA expenditures. The Administration Activity in the EDA has a contingency account of $7,981. I recommend reducing it by $79 to $7,902. • City Council review of the remaining budgets. As I said at the beginning of this memo on September 13th the i g C Council g � p City gave g preliminary approval to only those five funds which levy property taxes. Funds still requiring City Council review and adoption included the following: Special Revenue Funds Six Debt Service Funds besides the two which levy property taxes Enterprise Funds Internal Service Funds Debt Service Fund budgets don't require annual approval by the City Council because all required taxes are levied and a schedule of rinci al and interest P P payments are approved at the time of the bond sales. They are included in the city budget so as to provide a full picture of the city's financial activities for that year. Included in the enterprise fund category are the Recycling, Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Drainage utility funds. On October 10, 1995, the City Council approved utility rate schedules for these funds which amounted to preliminary budget adoption for the utility funds since the stud covered both revenues and P tY Y expenditures. Between the time the City Manager's Proposed Budget was prepared in July /August and the time the utility rate study was prepared in late September, adjustments were made to the estimated expenditures. Unless the City Council wishes to conduct further review of the utilities, you could direct staff to prepare for final budget adoption for these funds on the basis of the utility rate study. • Summary of Human Service AgreementsJoint Powers 10/95 Project Peace 1996 Budget request = $47,953 HRRC ranking #1 1995 funds received = $49,234 Joint Powers - since 1993 Withdrawal: Must give notice by August 1st Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council 1996 Budget request = $15,413 HRRC ranking #2 1995 funds received = $14,850 Joint Powers - since 1975 Agreement is ongoing Withdrawal: Provide written notice, city forfeits claim to assets CEAP 1996 Budget request = $5,000 HRRC ranking #3 1995 funds received = $0 I.N.V.I.T.E.

There was $50,000 cut from the Data Processing Department capital outlay request with the City ouncil to decide the specific items to be cut tY P later. I am extremely concerned about what items will remain in the final adopted budget. I feel that the $67,555 remaining in the preliminary budget is little more than what the City needs to just replace equipment which I can reasonably anticipate to fail in 1996. By fail I mean equipment that will break down and will need expensive repairs that aren't economical to put into a 5 or 6 year old piece of equipment. • In 1995, we purchased new PCs and retired eleven Hewlett Packard ES12 PCs. These were purchased in 1988 and 1989 and were based on the Intel 286 technology. At the time they were taken out of service, several had monitors or hard disc drives which were failing. We hadn't repaired them because we knew they would be taken out of service soon. The plan had been to sell the ones in working condition to a PC reseller. We probably could have gotten $50 to $100 for the working PCs. Because of the departure of Barbara Gallo and the gap in time before Omar Abdelwahed was hired as M.I.S. Coordinator, these sales never took place. That was fortunate, because since then we have experienced a series of monitor failures on the PCs that remained in service. Instead of buying new monitors at $350 apiece, we have cannibalized monitors off the ES12s. We no longer have any ES12s with working monitors and they will now be scrapped. We now have 31 PCs in use which were purchased in 1990 through 1992 and are based on the Intel 386 technology. Some of them have the monitors from the ES12s and we are continuing to experience monitor failures. The vendor for 21 . of our Intel 386 PCs and 10 of our Intel 486 PCs was a company named PC • Express. We stopped buying from PC Express in early 1994 because the quality of their product dropped off sharply. In eight of the nine PC Express 486s purchased in 1993, the mother board had to be replaced immediately. They have been plagued by other problems as well. PC Express went bankrupt this summer. There are other vendors who have advertized that they will repair PC Express machines. But that will be more expensive and less reliable I ' •' p than repairs from the original vendor. I am very concerned about the mechanical reliability of the older PCs in our inventory. They are very slow at running modern software and are increasingly prone to mechanical failure. Such failures require costly repairs, unproductive down time for the user, and tie up the M.I.S. Coordinator to diagnose the problem and arrange for the repair. On September 13th, one Council Member proposed only buying seven new PCs in 1996. That would put us on a ten year replacement cycle for our PCs. We have been on about a six replacement cycle which I was trying to reduce to a five year cycle. Businesses which operate computer networks like ours or larger, typically maintain a three year cycle for replacing their PCs. Alternate Budget Proposal I feel we can get through 1996 on the $67,555 capital outlay budget if we are allowed to replace the equipment that needs replacing. Very little money will be • left for technological innovation. I would like to supplement the 1996 budget by using about $12,000 remaining in the 1995 budget due to price reductions on many of the items we bought. This would be combined with $4,000 in the 1995 budget for emergency replacement of equipment. The total $16,000 would be used to buy up to seven black and white Laserjet printers and a dot - matrix printer. This would take the place of printer purchases in the 1996 budget. t. We face a r with hold Laserjet printers i P nur o g P J P inventory that has many parallels to the problem with old PCs. We have seven Laserjet I and Laserjet II printers which were purchased from 1987 through 1990 which have been very heavily used. In the 1996 budget, I would like to accelerate the replacement of PCs. The price of PCs are expected to drop significantly over the next three months, so I want to propose a flexible capital outlay budget instead of the usual fixed budget. Under this approach, the staff would be authorized to purchase up to twenty PCs and an approved list of other capital items. The less spent on PCs, the farther down the list of other items we could proceed. We probably wouldn't get beyond item 8 on the list. When the $67,555 was spent, we would stop. I propose a capital outlay • list in the following priority order: Data Processing Department • 1996 Budget Detail of Capital Outlay Total Description Unit/Cost Requested I.

It is in this capacity that our agency has served as the human services planning, research and coordinating department of the City of Brooklyn Center and the fourteen other cities. Since 19721 r , this agency has provided our joint power cities with recommendations that are the result of our research and planning efforts; and our agency continues to provide assistance with the implementation of services. This arrangement has proven to be an extremely cost effective and efficient manner by which the cities of Northwest Hennepin County can meaningfully address the human services needs of their residents. The value of this joint, multijurisdictional effort lies in the regional approach to services, the sharing of ideas and programs among municipalities; it offers a win -win situation from the standpoint of the fenders as well as those who utilize and benefit from the programs that are developed. Our agency also strives to equalize the distribution of services from County government, foundations and other funders, serving somewhat as a watchdog agency on behalf of the member cities in Northwest Hennepin County. As specific issues have arisen, we have engaged in collaborative efforts that involve residents, policymakers and others in the decision making and program planning process: o Success by 60 Northwest, a United Way funded initiative, addresses public awareness and public policy issues involving our children and has actively dealt with transportation concerns on behalf of the Northwest Hennepin area. o The Family Services Collaborative involves three of the four school districts in our service area working to redesign services to better attend to the needs of our families. o CO -OP Northwest focuses efforts that involve Brooklyn Center and its four neighbors who share common issues and concerns relating to housing and employment. t Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was formed in 1972 as a non - profit organization: In 1975, NWHHSC became a joint powers agency formed by the nine, member municipalities. Later, all fifteen cities served became members, and membership remains at 100°io in 1995. BROOKLYN CENTER CORCORAN GOLDEN VALLEY MAPLE GROVE PLYMOUTH BROOKLYN PARK CRYSTAL HANOVER NEW HOPE ROBBINSDALE CHAMPLIN DAYTON HASSAN OSSEO ROGERS 7601 Kentucky Avenue N. • Brooklyn Park, MN 55428 (612) 493 -2802 a Because of the nature of our joint powers status, we have not been in a position of having • to compete for funds with other non- profit human service programs; but, rather, we have been seen as an arm of the city. And, in return for Brooklyn Center's annual investment, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has provided significant indirect and direct services in an extremely professional manner for many years: o The planning services we have provided from our needs assessments and surveys have far outweighed the annual membership contribution o Our specialized focus on the first ring cities has provided a substantial return for those communities far in excess of the money invested due to the utilization of city funds to leverage other dollars on behalf of member municipalities. o Through participating in Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council's CO -OP Northwest effort, Brooklyn Center has access to the $1 million dollars in mortgage revenue bond funds through the MHFA Community Activity Set -Aside Program (CASA) to be used by the CO -OP Northwest Community Revitalization Corporation. These funds have an interest rate of 6.5% and provide attractive home ownership opportunities that otherwise would not be available for first time home buyers in Brooklyn Center. o The full proposal that was submitted discussed the number of runaway youth served by our Point Northwest program and the value of this service to Brooklyn Center residents. o The same proposal referenced the number of Brooklyn Center residents who utilized the emergency services program and the dollar value of return for these individuals. o The proposal also referenced the surplus commodities program which Northwest • Hennepin Human Services Council administered through the past year in the face of elimination by Congress. o Brooklyn Center residents participated in and benefitted from Success by 60 Northwest training efforts, bus line changes, parent tip cards, agency directories, resource materials, survey results and other literature. o The Northwest Community Law Enforcement Project has paid for the wages and salaries of several cadets working for and serving the Brooklyn Center community. The value to date of the salaries paid over the past three years for Brooklyn center cadets is $15,187. o And, in 1996 -97, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council's Family Services Collaborative will be working cooperatively with the City of Brooklyn Center to enhance the services available through the Brooklyn Center Police Substation. Through the provision of staffing, materials and training, the residents of Brooklyn Center will receive more than $30,000 in services through this agency initiative. Another dramatic result of Brooklyn Center's affiliation with Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was the amount of the cash return realized during 1994: - Emergency Service Loans to families $ 6,562.00 10.2% of total funds (primarily used for rental assistance to prevent homelessness) - Surplus Commodities (USDA) $11,723.00 • i�� 4 - Point Northwest for Runaway Youth $30,000.00 10.2% of total youth (Served 98 youth) - Northwest Community Law $ 4,592.00 (plus administrative Enforcement Program expenses) - Access to housing funds $;0,000 - $100,000 /year Our agency was able to assist Brooklyn Center in realizing these direct cash returns, as well as the numerous other benefits and services provided to the families of Brooklyn Center. And, as a result of your city's contribution of $15,408 for 1996, we will be able to continue these and other efforts on your behalf. The value of all of the planning efforts, mental health forums, senior forums, directories, parent information, youth resources, information and referrals, results from surveys and other assessment tools, research support, municipal profiles and all the rest represent not only a tremendous return on the dollars invested by Brooklyn Center and its residents, but it reflects our agency's boundless commitment to deal effectively and efficiently with human service issues within our member cities. With this correspondence I am enclosing the first letter that was sent out regarding our annual membership invoice and the summary of accomplishments of the previous year. Additional material includes the full proposal requested by Brooklyn Center, a follow -up letter on services provided to Brooklyn Center and copies of our Long Range Planning report and Annual Report. We would be pleased to appear before the Council to discuss our programs, services and • history at greater length, if so desired. The role of and need for the human service councils is ongoing, as reaffirmed in numerous recent studies; and we appreciate the continuing opportunity to serve you and your residents as we strive to meet the needs of the future. Thanks for your time and support. incer y, Patricia S.

Projects can often show a positive impact in the community, but few can, in addition, show the type of investment return that has been illustrated through this collaborative effort. The attached page shows some of the current CO -OP Northwest • activities and funding leveraged to support CO -OP programs. Once again during the past year over $500,000 was raised to support CO -OP Northwest initiatives, which directly support each of the participating municipalities. This support has included: • funding for community based job bank services • housing rehabilitation efforts • salaries for cadets of color in each of the police departments • diversity training for staff and related diversity efforts on behalf of the city • housing consultation services through a cooperative planning grant • development of an apartment based services delivery model • and positive public relations and lobbying efforts on behalf of the five cities to demonstrate to the world at large the viability of these cities and their positive spirits! The success of CO -OP Northwest has been recognized with a Partnership innesota Award p for cooperation among local governments; a League of Minnesota Award presented at their annual conference, and a Certificate of Merit in the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities Innovative City Award competition as an innovative concept that demonstrates how a cooperative effort among local units of government is an effective method to address • community issues.

The effort, coordinated and administered by Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council, involves 125 participants and organizations. A number of unique projects have resulted from this collaborative effort to date. The Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) called the CO -OP Northwest Community Revitalization Corporation has been developed to provide affordable housing for low and moderate income residents of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale. The CHDO has been awarded $474,100 in HOME funds to rehab housing in the five cities and provide homeownership opportunities for low and moderate income residents, and rental housing for a low income special needs population. The CHDO has secured $1 million in mortgage revenue bond funds through the MHFA Community Activity Set - Aside program which will be used to provide mortgages to first time homebuyers at an interest rate of 6.85 %. CO -OP Northwest will also be using a $50,000 cooperative planning grant from the State of Minnesota to develop regional strategies and systems to implement cooperative housing programs in northwest Hennepin. The Northwest Community Law Enforcement Project has been provided with $92,095 from Hennepin County to provide jobs and training to persons of color living in northwest Hennepin County so that project participants can become police officers in the northwest Hennepin County area. The funds are used to provide assistance, support services and wages to project participants working towards their goal of becoming police officers in northwest Hennepin County. CO -OP Northwest received $200,000 from the 1995 Minnesota Legislature to continue and expand the project during Fiscal Years 1996 and 1997. • The Human Services Enterprise Zone is a pilot project with the mission of re- designing the human services delivery system in northwest Hennepin County. The project encourages providers to work together to streamline the system so that services are delivered more efficiently in a way that helps recipients overcome barriers to self - sufficiency. The project will increase the seif- sufficiency of social service recipients in the CO - OP Northwest area so that they can support themselves with less help. The project is being funded through a $50,000 grant from MHFA. Northwest Community Job Bank Project is an initiative to establish employment and training services at community-based sites, including emergency service agencies, community centers, apartment communities and mobile home parks to provide unemployed and underemployed residents with access to employment and work readiness services. HIRED was selected to operate the job banks. Paid and volunteer staff at the sites will receive training so that they can integrate employment and %vork readiness and services with the other services they provide. The program is funded through a $100,000 grant from the ivlc.Knight Foundation. Cultural Diversity has been addressed through the development of a program to increase understanding of diversity in the community and enhance awareness of ways to be inclusive through policies, training and community projects in each of the five cities. The project is funded through a $16,000 grant from the Minneapolis Foundation. CO -OP Northwest members have been meeting to develop a strategy for community responses to acts of racism in a quick and unified manner. Workshops have been held on issues of diversity and to learn how to lead group discussions on the issue of racism. An Enhanced Housing Initiative pilot project has been undertaken to create a more supportive community for apartment residents through the formation of a residents' association and increase access to social services. The Enhanced Housing Initiative will be studied and replicated in apartment communities in the CO -OP Northwest cities. That project is funded through a three -year $53,200 grant from the McKnight Foundation. In addition a needs assessment was performed of lower income apartment residents living near the Community Resource Center. The needs assessment will be used to determine resident concerns, find -out what services residents value and evaluate the services provided. • For more information call Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council at 493 -2802.

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.

Wilder, Executive Director • �ROGRAM 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 training 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, • 1994. 'Surplus Commodities was terminated by Congress at the end of jobs and training efforts, which also includes work in diversity inclusiveness in these communities; administers the Northwest Community Law Enforcement Project, the Enhanced Housing nitiative including g Grades -R -Us a tutoring project, and a g P n Jobs Bank outreach project; Success by Six Northwest, an early childhood initiative, funded by Y United w 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. • Rey 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 de =fined 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 A s purp oses. pedal 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 director and report reports, p t 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 approx y L „ �ma � e t 1 men percent. Contracts -- .� P for the indirect services such as Community Di ; ty anning and the Community Social Services Act are 100% designated for the administrative costs of delivering the indirect -services. UDGET Dollar Amount Requested: Participating Municipality Contribution $ 9,987.00 CO -OP NW Contribution 5,426.00 Projected Total Program /Agency Budget $736,453.00 City Amount As % of Total Budget 2.00% % Of Total Budget For Overhead And 10% Administration Costs 6.& 7. List specific secured and anticipated sources of contributions available to the applicant. Project funds are secured red for the Point NW for runaway y outh h from a wide variety f sources including foundations churches, corporations and individuals. g 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 Wav has provided funding for Success By Six Northwest. Requests will be made 'Co Hennepin County and the State of Minnesota for on -going funding in the areas indicated. i y A_ r - L 1 funds are anticipated a�. � � �+ r r t h is point _n �...e yea_ _o 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 oast two years and includes both operating and pass - through dollars used to sun community and municipal activities in the Northwest Hennepin area. I •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: In Office ........................... 850 hours Surplus Commodities .................1,560 hours CSSA process ........................ a 70 _ 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 P distribution y - .� of certificates to the volunteers ' � i of tn.. SUr p_L.S Commodities program, and an annual dinner as oa=t o= the y 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 lus commod_ties budget is only $6,200.00 et we lev T over e_ a e y 1300 hou rs of help from over g 150 people to distribute commodities. Volunteer host homes for Point NW saved approximately $1,800 in shelter costs in 1994. �1. 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 he availability of accommodations g y 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 or" emergency housing, transportation, food, utilities, fuel assistance and surplus commodities through diract se_vice 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 f the area as the result of the lobbying and coordination efforts of the Council. y ? 1 4a. Discuss possible alternative sources for those services available within the community. 1 4b. Describe why those alternative services are not fulfilling the current needs. There also is no other organizat 1 that avai able t' at 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 al e- n t r commun t a��ve sources in the commun_�y for the d 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. i • 5. 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 xt ne 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 - r served in Brookl 1� n C�n�.e � in 1993, worth • $30,000 in service. rojected total to be served next year. Emercencv Services: Approximately 100 residents of Brooklyn Center are expected to receive emergency services through the Hennepin Count_ L er v c ont ra ct ac �. administ..� ed b Y the he 95 Approximately Council in 19 L A ely 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 Brooklvn 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 f �, and 10.2 ,r _ % o_ emergency se_v_ces program expendit wens g Y P � P to residents of Brooklyn Center. Indirect services received by lo ooklyn Center exceeded the percentage represented of the total pulation. •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..

PROCESS e With funding from the General Mills Foundation, Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council embarked on the long -range planning effort to create a vision for our future. We wanted to get a better understanding of our strengths and a clear direction on how to best serve the northwest area communities. We asked "stakeholders" (people with a vested interest in the Council - -human service providers, city representatives, and citizens) to discuss their perspective on the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council and its role in meeting community needs. The stakeholders identified these human service concerns: ♦ diminishing sources of funding, ♦ increased competition among human service agencies over limited resources, ♦ increased presence of racism at a time when northwest cities are becoming more diverse, ♦ greater need for cultural sensitivity, ♦ and a tendency for cities and agencies to be reactive rather than pro - active. They said the Council: ♦ prevents unnecessary duplication of services, ♦ fosters cooperation, ♦ provides information on human and financial resources, ♦ serves as an advocate for human service agencies, ♦ lobbies on issues in the public forum, ♦ is the conscience of the community, e ♦ advocates for the disadvantaged, ♦ is a blend of grassroots and government organizations, ♦ sees the "big picture" by addressing a broad range of issues, ♦ supports the needs of all people regardless of income, age, and status, ♦ and represents the urban and rural suburban human service needs. The stakeholders said the Council's strengths are: ♦ familiarity with local community needs, ♦ group versus individual focus, ♦ a planning and coordination view broader than the perspective of direct service providers, ♦ a citizen -based approach that is credible and less bureaucratic, ♦ and having a network of service providers, churches, businesses, and schools in place to mobilize the community. .................................................................................................................................................................... ............................... The Council is based on these principles: IwResidents should play a role in defining their own needs and recommending solutions. R'Human services should be available in the community and residents should have access to them. IrMunicipalities should share the responsibility of meeting the human service needs of their residents. .................................................................................................................................................................... ............................... 0 r • November 2, 1995 Myrna Kragness Mayor Brooklyn Center y ookly Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Honorable Mayor Kragness, We, as senior citizens, living in Brooklyn Center want you to know how very important the Five Cities 'Transportation is to us. We would also like the members of the City Council to know how very important this issue is to us before your meeting on Monday, November 6, 1995. Many of us depend solely on Five Cities to get to shopping as well as our many functions at the Civic Center. If need be, we plan on barnstorming the December City Council meeting to assure that we are heard loud and clear. • As the voice of our community, we hope that you will fight to put Five Cities back on the top of the funding priority list. Sincerely, Residents of Brookwoods _ 1 Brooklyn Center, MNi�`' wv- V C)4" �, v C C f r - r ('. � �� ► ` -" -rte' i !' x This petition represents the voters that elected to represent them and their wishes.
