REPORT ON HENNEPIN COUNTY 1982 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT BUDGET CUT BACKS
Administrative Assistant Bublitz reviewed the County social service budget cuts
pointing out that many of them directly affected the northwest suburban area
such as the proposed cut of the Detached Worker Program, Youth Diversion Program,
Community Emergency Assistance Program, and numerous other programs. He stated
that Hennepin County's rationale for the budget cuts were that the County would
be funding State mandated programs and those programs dealing in responses to
immediate service needs such as child abuse, battered women, and drug treatment
programs. He stated the programs focusing on prevention such as the Detached
Worker Program received a lower priority in the county budget and were subsequently
cut from the Community Services budget. He pointed out the Northwest Human Services
Council and other Human Service Councils in the metro area are holding a hearing
on the county social service cuts with the County Commissioners on Monday, September t
21, 1981 at the St. Louis Park Recreation Center. He noted the Councils, at this
meeting, hope to convince the County Commissioners to fund the programs that were
initially cut from the budget. He also pointed out that on September 23, 1981;
beginning at 1:30 p.m. in the Hennepin County Government Center, there will be
another P 5 public hearing on the Northwest Human Services Council budget et which has
also been cut from the 1982 County budget. He stated the budget for the Human
Services Council comes from the County's Office of Planning & Development and
is not a part of the Community Service's budget. He added that the funding for
the Council provides the monies needed to retain a professional staff for the
Northwest Human Services Council.
Councilmember Kuefler requested the staff to prepare more information with regard
to Hennepin County's criteria used in developing the 1982 Community Services
Department budget. He also requested information on the number of state mandated
programs and discretionary programs in the 1982 Community Services Department
budget. The City Manager stated that staff will prepare this information and
have it ready for the Monday night Council meeting on the 21st of September.

The Director of Finance reviewed for Council members a summary of the 1982 budget
noting that the proposed City budget for 1982 is $6,502,697 and that the 1981•
adjusted budget is $5,979,701. He pointed out the dollar increase over the 1981
budget is $522,996 for an 8.75% increase. He proceeded to review the local
government aids anticipated in 1982 and also the 1982 federal revenue sharing
funds. The Director of Finance also reviewed the net operating budget, proposed
capital outlays, and debt - retirement for 1982. He reviewed the property tax
levy proposed for 1982 and noted that because the City has no household growth
it is limited to an 8% levy increase in order to guarantee the City's homeowners
a full homestead credit. He pointed out that other cities with household growth
may receive as much as 14% to'16% in a levy increase. Discussion ensued among
Council members regarding the results of the legislative action in establishing
levy limits in cities. There was a general concurrence among Council members and
staff that cities are rewarded in terms of levy increases for building homes and
are penalized for building industry and commerce with regard to the fiscal
disparities act.
The Director of Finance proceeded to review the assessable valuation of the City,
the proposed estimated mill rate, and cited examples of the proposed 1982 City
tax on typical homes in Brooklyn Center. He explained that on a $56,000 home_
the proposed 1982 City tax would be $73.44. He explained the average homeowner
in Brooklyn Center in 1982 will experience a 4.7% increase in City taxes.

proposed for 1982 and the capital outlay items to be considered in the capital"
projects fund.
