A GREAT PLACE TO START, A GREAT PLACE TO STAY www.cityofbrooklyncenter.org To: Mayo!' Willson and Councilmembers Kieven, Lawrence-Anderson, Myszkowski and Ryan From: Cornelius L. Boganey, City Mana Date: December 1, 2014 RE: 2015 Final Budget Adoption It is my pleasure to transmit the 2015 budget for the City of Brooklyn Center. While the City Manager is tasked with the responsibility of preparing a budget, it cannot be accomplished without the cleat' policy direction provided by the City Council with input from the Financial Commission. It would be impossible to produce this budget without the cooperation and collaboration of the Leadership Team: Department Heads, Division Heads and other Staff Members. Special recognition should be given to the Fiscal Services Department and the Finance Director Nathan Reinhardt for his particular role in planning and coordinating the budget development process. It is our collective hope and expectations that this budget will succeed in its purpose to wisely manage our resources and implement policy for the benefit of an even greater community. Budget Overview The proposed 2015 budget, in financial terms, sets forth the action plan of the City. The priorities for staff, infrastructure improvement and service response are reflected in the allocation of resources in the plan developed in City Council Joint Work Sessions with the Financial Commission during the months of June through November 2014. The expenditure levels are focused on maintaining current services and on the achievement of the strategic goals and priority outcomes adopted by the City Council. The overall General Fund budget increase is 5.07% and the overall tax levy increase is 2.90%. The Median Value Residential Property in the City is $131,400 compared to the prior year value of $114,200, which is an increase in market value of more than 15%. Despite the significant increase in residential property market values, property values have not yet fully recovered to previous levels of residential property values. The Median Value Residential Property will pay approximately $752 in City property taxes in 2015 compared to $661 in 2014, which is an increase of $91. The 2015 Budget incorporates the following significant items: Issuance of $5.2 million of debt to finance the street and sanitary portions of infrastructure improvement projects for 63rd Avenue North Reconstruction, Freeway Boulevard Improvements (west of Xerxes), and Freeway Area Improvements. This provides the needed funding for the continuation of our street and utilities neighborhood reconstruction program.

During this year's budgeting process department heads identified key initiatives and value propositions for their divisions focused on the achievement of strategic priorities, which are included in their respective narratives. The definitions of the Strategic Priorities and examples of some of those key initiatives for 2015 are as follows: Civic Engagement In order to clearly understand and effectively respond to community needs, the City will consistently seek the input from a broad range of stakeholders from the general public, non-profit and for profit sectors. Efforts to engage the community will be transparent and responsive. Our engagement efforts will be deliberately inclusive and culturally sensitive. o Initiated by the City Council, the City will implement the Brooklyn Center Citizens Leadership Academy also known as BCU. The primary goal of the academy is to provide an in depth introduction of Brooklyn Center local government to 20 citizen volunteers reflective of our diverse community. These individuals will participate in eight successive weekly "classes" with City department leaders, and elected officials. They will have an opportunity tour City facilities, learn the history and future plans for their local government. Through this effort we will foster an informed constituency and encourage greater participation in civic and community life. Inclusive and culturally sensitive engagement. We will continue our Inclusion and Diversity efforts with the long term goal of establishing an organizational culture that promotes participation, engagement and creativity for • The City recently contracted with Hennepin County for property assessment services, which resulted in the reduction of three full-time equivalents in City assessing staff. The estimated savings from the move to a contracted service is $138,000 annually, which has been incorporated in this budget. • A new position of Deputy Fire Chief was added to assist with emergency preparedness and additional operational needs of the Fire Department. • Personnel costs include a two percent general wage adjustment, a $57 increase in the monthly contribution to the cafeteria plan of full-time employees, and an expected vacancy savings of $150,000. • An appropriated contingency of $150,000, in the General Fund, available for unanticipated expenditures. The Proposed 2015 Levies On September 8, 2014, the City Council adopted the 2015 preliminary budget and maximum tax levies. There are three funds that require a tax levy; the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority Fund. The proposed final levy is as follows: General Fund - Operations Levy $ 14,332,534 General Fund - Abatement for Economic Development 49,000 Debt Service - Public Improvement Bond 396,496 Total Levy $ 14,778,030 Housing and Redevelopment Authority $ 280,460 The General Fund is the primary operating fund for government business of the City. The proposed General Fund Budget is as follows: The Proposed 2015 General Fund Budget Revenues Property Tax (net)$ 14,381,533 Excess Tax Increment 490,000 Lodging Tax 880,000 Licenses and Permits 728,115 Intergovernmental Revenue 1,362,941 Charges for Service 855,000 Fines and Forfeits 316,500 Other Revenue 388,512 Total General Fund Revenue $ 19,402,601 2 employees while developing an intimate understanding and appreciation of our customers/citizens. Our Diversity and Inclusion Council will begin working with our contracted support service to prioritize, organize and implement the recommendation of the client audit conducted by Inclusion Inc. Program Needs Assessment We will conduct an internal needs assessment of our recreation amenities, programs and services. The results will ensure our facilities and offerings are meeting the needs and expectations of the citizens of Brooklyn Center. The assessment will also provide a strategy and prioritization for the continued development of park and recreation facilities and programs moving forward. Focused Redevelopment Redevelopment and renewal of commercial, industrial and residential property is essential to the health and vitality of the city. The City will lead efforts to maintain and increase the value of private properties and will make the necessary supporting infrastructure investments. We will encourage entrepreneurial investment and make strategic public investments to create jobs and grow the City's tax base. e Continued development of Shingle Creek Crossing. Work with the developer in their completion of the 116,861 sq.ft. of commercial buildings currently under construction. The completion of these buildings will achieve 77.8% of the TIF construction goal of 239,000 sq.ft. within the first 5 years of commencing the redevelopment of the former Brookdale Mall. Work with the developer in their development plans for the construction of a minimum of 53,135 sq.ft. of commercial buildings. Commence redevelopment of the South Opportunity Site Area We will complete the demolition of the foundations and floor stabs of the former Brookdale Ford dealership and the vacant tenant spaces within the Brookdale Square commercial site. We will also continue to work with interested developers with the goal of entering into a development agreement for the first phase of the approved PUD. Redevelopment of the 57th and Logan Ave. Area We will obtain MPCA approval to develop a detention pond that will remove contaminated soils and provide the necessary storm water design capacity for the planned commercial development of the southern 7.5 acres. A Letter of Intent for the planned commercial development of this site will be advanced into a Development Agreement 4 Community Image Our ability to attract and retain citizens and businesses is directly influenced by the perception of the City. We will take specific actions to assure that Brooklyn Center is recognized as a high quality, attractive and safe community. We will accomplish this by providing exceptional customer experience, vibrant neighborhoods and a sense of community thereby attracting private investment. Perception of safety and youth We will work to engage youth who have entered the criminal legal system at the first sign of trouble and direct them to resources that focus on improving their contribution to the community. We will work to identify youth who have been exposed to domestic violence in their home to resources within Cornerstone domestic abuse services. 25 th Anniversary In 2015, the Earle Brown Heritage Center will celebrate 25 years of operation as one of the regions premier conference and events facilities, and as a centerpiece of the Brooklyn Center community. Through our 2015 marketing efforts, we will continually highlight this milestone anniversary and Brooklyn Center. Financial Stability We will maintain a positive financial position with a long term perspective by diversifying revenue sources, aligning fees to adequately reflect service costs, stabilizing property taxes while reducing the City's reliance on State Shared Revenues, and ensuring that revenues are adequate to fund services and infrastructure needs. Value continuous improvement and innovation We will implement DocuSphere software, which will provide an automated workflow process for accounts payable. The software will allow finance staff to locate invoices/documents at all steps of the process, increase timeliness of invoice processing, eliminate duplicated processes and reduce manual data entry. Implement capital improvement financial strategy A financial strategy that uses a combination of General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Utility Revenue Bonds, a Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) loan and Utility Fund rate adjustments will be used to provide necessary Capital Improvement funding. We will continue to implement long-term forecasting. This includes updating our assumptions based on current information and review of potential financing options including new debt issuances. 5 Vibrant Neighborhoods Neighborhoods will be attractive, safe, inclusive of a diverse housing stock with owner occupied and quality rental properties. Citizens will feel connected to each other and the natural environment will be protected and preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. o Attractiveness We will implement the 22nd year of the street and utility construction program by providing the needed capital improvements, which increase value to the public infrastructure and provide a catalyst towards other aesthetical improvements and value throughout neighborhoods Citywide. o Stabilize and improve residential neighborhood We will coordinate and inspect residential rental properties in accordance with City code requirements and further develop and implement a recognition program for rental properties. o Provide accurate and timely information regarding property ownership and special assessments We will also continue to update processes, systems and public information to provide efficient and clear processing of homestead applications and ownership documents. This includes the implementation of a new database for property ownership and homestead status.

Property tax revenue represents 74 percent of the General fund budget. The majority of the revenue increase is a result of increases in the general tax levy of $749,207 and property tax increment revenue of $90,000. 6 Last year the State passed a law that provided supplemental pension aid to police and fire departments state-wide to assist with increasing pension costs, the City will receive a supplemental police aid of $74,500 and a supplemental fire aid of $36,172. The fire relief supplemental aid will be received by the City but passed through to the Volunteer fire Relief Association. The City recently adopted a policy that would receipt half of the local government aid received for operations and half for capital improvements. This policy is intended to reduce the operationally reliance on local government aid and as a result the City has budgeted a General Fund reduction of $25,231.

The 2015 Budget shows 39 percent of the Brooklyn Center's General Fund expenditures are for Police ($7,887,235). The remaining significant amounts include 18 percent for Public Works ($3,620,234), 18 percent for General Government ($3,650,259) and 8 percent for Community Activities, Recreation and Services ($1,539,497). The 2015 General Fund Budget Incorporates the following significant items: Personnel.

Significant changes to personnel include: • A two percent increase in employee base wages • A $57 increase in monthly cafeteria contributions for full-time employees • Creation of a Deputy Fire Chief position. The estimated cost of this position including salary and benefits amount to $116,500. The new position will assist with emergency preparedness and additional operational needs of the Fire Department. 7 • Reduction of three property assessment personnel. The City has contracted with Hennepin County to provide these services in 2015. The annual net savings from the agreement is approximately $138,000. • Increase in the estimated vacancy/turnover savings by $25,000 to a total estimated savings of $150,000. • Beginning on or after January 1, 2014 the City became exempt from the State sales tax on most City purchases. As a result, the budget allocates $50,000 in anticipated General Fund sales tax savings to departments. • Additional $50,000 budgeted to support the City's Inclusion and Diversity efforts to implement recommendations of the client audit conducted by Inclusion Inc. • Implementation of new software that includes an automated accounts payable workflow software, automated utility work order software and capital building maintenance software to manage City building and system replacement and maintenance requirements. The total cost of purchase, license fees and implementation for these three programs is budgeted at $125,888. • Office remodeling costs of $15,000 to remodel the entrance and front entry area of the West Fire Station and $50,000 to remodel the office and front counters of the Building & Community Standards office area.

The taxable market value increase is driven by large increases in residential (19.9%) and apartment (12.0%). Commercial and industrial taxable market value had a relatively small decrease in taxable market value. 8 Internal Service Funds Revenues and Other Sources Central Garage Fund $ 1,953,782 Total Internal Service Funds $ 1.953,782 Appropriations and Other Uses Central Garage Fund (w/o Depreciation) $ 1,808,754 Total Internal Service Funds $ 1,808354 December 1, 2014 Date Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

As shown in the above chart, the increase in residential market value has resulted in a shift in total tax capacity from industrial and commerical to residential. Residential now represents 46.6% of the City's tax capacity. The total tax capacity of the City is estimated at $20,720,321 compared to $19,665,833 in 2014, which is an increase of $1,054,488 (5.4%). The increase in tax capacity results in a corresponding decrease in the City property tax rate. The decrease in the City property tax rate is the first since 2008.

The price of that median value home went from $114,200 to $131,400 with a taxable market value of $105,986. As a result of the market value increase, the City property tax will increase by an estimated $91 from $661 to $752. The chart shown on the previous page provides information on the median value home and City property taxes paid since 2009. The red bar and amounts on the left axis represent the median value home. In 2009, that value was $180,400 which subsequently decreased each year to its lowest value in 2014 of $114,200. For 2015, we are seeing a reversal of that trend. The grey shaded area and the amounts on the right axis is the property tax amount paid on that median value home. In 2009 the median value home paid $886 in City property tax, similar to the market value, we have seen a steady decline in City property taxes leading up to the latest valuation. Despite seeing residential property values recover significantly for the year, the values and corresponding property taxes still remain below the amounts from 2009 to 2011. Breakdown of Property Taxes *B ase d on a Residential Property in School District 9279 City taxes accounts for 36 percent of property taxes paid by homeowners living in Brooklyn Center (based on the preliminary 2015 property tax levies). The remainder is comprised of taxes for the School District of 34 percent and County of 25 percent. The property tax paid by an individual property owner could be impacted because of several different reasons including; a change in value of the property, a change in the relative proportion of the property value to the total property value (shift in distribution of taxable market value to a different property type), an increase in property taxes requested for operations of the City General Fund activities and programs, and changes in the property tax needs of the County or School District. Brooklyn Center has four different school districts all with different levies and property tax implications. 10 Ser Fire & Emergency Preparednes $49 Police, $306 2015 Cost of General Fund - Median Value home Public Works, Community Community $140, Recreation, Technology Improvements, Golf Course, $2 _Other, $32 General Government $100 The chart above provides a cost breakdown of the property taxes paid by the median value home. This chart provides an approximate tax dollar cost of the services provided by the City, but it should be noted that it does not take in consideration any costs outside the General Fund or reduce the cost for non-property tax funded expenses such as permit fees and charges for services of the various departments. In 2015, the typical homeowner will pay approximately $306 for police, $140 for public works, $100 for general government, $60 for community recreation, $58 for community services and $49 for fire and emergency preparedness. 2015 Capital Projects & Equipment Replacement The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a planning document that presents a fifteen-year overview of scheduled capital projects to address the City's goals for maintaining public infrastructure. The CIP includes a long-term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities. The City has a total of $12.98 million of improvements budgeted for 2015, including 63rd Avenue North Reconstruction, Freeway Park Area Neighborhood Reconstruction Project and construction of an Amphitheater. Funding for these projects come from a variety of different sources. The complete CIP can be found in the Capital Improvement Program section towards the back of this budget book. The City compiles a rolling equipment replacement schedule for all City vehicles and equipment. The Central Garage, reported as an internal service fund, administers the funding, replacement schedule and disposal of equipment in the fleet. In 2015, the City is scheduled to replace $620,570 in vehicles and equipment. The detailed listing of equipment scheduled for replacement in 2015 and 2016 is included in the Internal Service Fund section of this budget book. Enterprise Funds Enterprise Funds are those programs provided by the City which generate their own revenues for operation and capital maintenance. The City operates the following three Enterprise Funds: 11 Brooklyn Center Liquor The City operates two municipal retail liquor stores to provide for the controlled sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the community. Profits from the operations are used to fund projects benefitting the community and avoiding the necessity of larger property tax levies for such projects. In 2015, the Liquor Fund will transfer $250,000 to the Capital Improvements Fund for future projects. Centerbrook Golf Course The mission of Centerbrook Golf Course is to be a premier value Minnesota golf course offering a challenging, well-conditioned course and exceptional customer service. Centerbrook Golf Course is a nine (9) hole, par three (3) golf course owned and operated by the City of Brooklyn Center. Even with the challenges of declining golf rounds, we are optimistic that many of the initiatives and course improvements will begin to reap dividends going forward; yet it is assumed that an annual subsidy for this recreational activity will be required for the foreseeable future. Our objective is to minimize the required subsidy each year by growing demand and improving efficiency. Earle Brown Heritage Center The Earle Brown Heritage Center (EBHC) is comprised of the Convention Center with Administrative Services, Catering Services and Commercial Office Rentals. These Divisions provide for the provision of maintenance, conference services, custodial functions, development, preparing, equipment servicing, and serving of food and beverage for events at Earle Brown Heritage Center. Maintenance of buildings and grounds of the commercial office spaces located at EBHC for two tenants. Additionally, the EBHC has a management agreement with Flik International for the food and beverage. Public Utility Funds The Public Utility Funds track revenues and expenditures for fee based public utility services provided by the City. These funds operate on their own ability to generate revenues and receive no property tax support. Each year the City Council reviews the operations of these funds and sets rates based on the needs for operations, capital spending and debt service payments. The City operates the following five Public Utility Funds: Water Fund The City has approximately 121 miles of water main, over 1,300 water valves and 1,000 fire hydrants providing service to over 7,000 single-family residential connections and approximately 1,600 apartment/commercial/industrial customers. The budget includes a rate increase for the Water Utility for both base and consumption charges. The City currently has a quarterly base charge of $8.20 per residential and commercial irrigation meter. In addition to this base charge, the City charges a consumption charge of $1.36 per 1,000 gallons (up to 30,000 gallons per quarter). The 2015 rates will 12 Mite Eear 13k BrDktyTh Fridley shriAew Center thfiI TylaplElvond Cryu!efle New Kte $iL'DcO $to,co s w.co $ 1D.O v&v increase to $10.00 per residential meter and $1.66 per 1,000 gallons, which is an increase of $1.80 per quarter in base charges and $0.30 in the consumption charge per 1,000 gallons. Multi-family, commercial and industrial properties currently pay a quarterly base charge depending on the size of the meter and a consumption rate of $1.70 per 1,000 gallons. The 2015 consumption rate will be adjusted to $2.07 per 1,000 gallons, which is an increase of $0.37. The amount by which the water bills at any particular property will be affected by rate increases depends on the size of the meter coimection and the amount of water consumed. The change in the quarterly utility bill for a household using 18,000 gallons of water (considered the typical residential user) is estimated to be $7.20 per quarter. Water rate increases are driven by the City's construction of a water treatment plant, which will reduce the level of manganese from our water supply. The water treatment plant is currently under construction and is expected to be up and running by the end of 2015. The (estimated) total cost for the water treatment plant is $19.98 million. Immediate financing will be achieved through a low interest loan under the Drinking Water Revolving Fund through the Minnesota Public Facility Authority (PFA) loan program. The loan will be repaid over twenty years at an interest rate of approximately one percent, which calculates to annual repayments of approximately $1.1 million. Water rates will be adjusted over the next three years to provide sufficient revenue for these annual loan repayments. The City annual compares its utility rates to nine other cities that are considered to be similar to Brooklyn Center. The results of that comparison show that even with an increase in water rates budgeted for 2015, Brooklyn Center will continue to have the second lowest rates among comparison cities as shown below: 13 Sanitary Sewer Fund The City provides for the collection and conveyance of wastewater through a systems of mains and lift stations. Sewage is treated by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, whose contracted services account for approximately 75 percent of the funds operating expenditures. The City currently charges a quarterly base charge of $74.70, which will increase to $78.45 in 2015. The $3.75 quarterly increase is predominantly driven by the replacement cost of sanitary sewer infrastructure related to the neighborhood reconstruction projects over the upcoming years. Storm Sewer Fund The City provides for the collection and management of storm water throughout the City in compliance with State and Federal regulatory requirements. The Storm Drainage Utility operates and maintains approximately 84 miles of storm sewers and nearly 100 storm water management ponds or treatment devices. There will be no changes to the current Storm Sewer fees. The current fees are sufficient to cover costs and meet fund balance targets for the near term future. Street Lighting Fund The City provides electrical service, maintenance, repair and replacement of lights owned by the City. The City owns approximately 71 ornamental lights, primarily in the Earle Brown commercial area, 85 ornamental lights on Brooklyn Boulevard, 40 ornamental lights along Xerxes Avenue, 72 ornamental lights along Bass Lake Rd and 57th Avenue and leases approximately 915 lights from Xcel Energy. Another 97 lights owned by the City are located on traffic signal systems. There will be no changes to the current Street Lighting fees. The current fees are sufficient to cover costs and meet fund balance targets for the near term future. Recycling Fund The Hennepin Recycling Group (HRG) is a joint powers organization consisting of the cities of Brooklyn Center, Crystal and New Hope. The HRG is responsible for managing a comprehensive recycling and waste education system for the residents of these cities. 14 Residents pay a Recycling Service fee on their utility bill for curbside recycling, the use of a yard waste and tree branch drop off site, and proper waste management and special material education and services. The City currently charges a quarterly base charge of $8.94, which will increase to $9.21 in 2015. The $0.27 quarterly increase is predominantly driven by operational needs of the utility. The Recycling Fund is currently below their targeted minimum cash balance and the additional revenue would bring the utility closer to that targeted cash balance. Housing and Redevelopment Authority The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy for 2015 is $280,460, which is a decrease of $1,650 from 2014. State law establishing a HRA provides for an operating levy of up to 0.0185% of the taxable market value within the jurisdiction to carry out the purposes of the authority. In Brooklyn Center after forming an HRA, the City established an Economic Development Authority (EDA) that assumed and expanded the HRA responsibilities into the areas of economic development. The HRA levy is required to provide the funding for the EDA activities.

December 1, 2014 Date Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. F,015 CA : siei I The 2015-29 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a planning document that presents a fifteen-year overview of scheduled capital projects to address the City's goals for maintaining public infrastructure. The CIP includes a long-term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities. The fifteen-year horizon of the CIP provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate project priorities annually and to adjust the timing, scope and cost of projects as new information becomes available. The information contained in this plan represents an estimate of improvement costs based on present knowledge and expected conditions. Changes in community priorities, infrastructure condition and inflation rates require that adjustments be made on a routine basis. A capital improvement is defined as a major non-recurring expenditure related to the City's physical facilities and grounds. The 2015-2029 CIP makes a concerted effort to distinguish between major maintenance projects contained in the City's operating budgets and capital improvement projects financed through the City's capital funds and proprietary funds. Typical expenditures include the cost to construct roads, utilities, parks, or municipal structures. The CIP is predicated on the goals and policies established by the City Council, including the general development, redevelopment, and maintenance policies that are part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A primary objective of the CIP is to identify projects that further these goals and policies in a manner consistent with funding opportunities and in coordination with other improvement projects. CIP Project Types The Capital Improvement Plan proposes capital expenditures totaling approximately $144 million over the next 15 years for improvements to the City's streets, parks, public utilities, and municipal buildings. A brief description of the four functional areas is provided below. Public Utilities The City operates four utility systems, all of which have projects included in the CIP —water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and street lighting. A vast majority of the public utility improvements are constructed in conjunction with street reconstruction projects. The remaining portion of public utilities projects include improvements to water supply wells, water towers, lift stations, force mains and storm water treatment system. Street Improvements Street improvements include reconstruction or resurfacing of neighborhood (local), collector and arterial streets. Proposed improvements include the installation or reconstruction of curb and gutter along public roadways. As noted earlier, street improvements are often accompanied by replacement of public utilities. Park Improvements Park improvements include the construction of trails, shelters, playground equipment, athletic field lighting and other facilities that enhance general park appearance and increase park usage by providing recreational facilities that meet community needs. 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Program P a g e I 1 Capital Maintenance Building Improvements Capital maintenance building improvements include short and long term building and facility improvements identified in the 18-year Capital Maintenance Building Program approved in 2007. CIP Funding Sources Capital expenditures by funding source for the fifteen-year period are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. Major funding sources are described below. Public Utility Funds Customers are billed for services provided by the City's water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and street lighting public utilities. Fees charged to customers are based on operating requirements and capital needs to ensure that equipment and facilities are replaced to maintain basic utility services. Annually the City Council evaluates the needs of each public utility system and establishes rates for each system to meet those needs. Special Assessments Properties benefiting from street and storm sewer improvements are assessed a portion of the project costs in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy. Every year the City Council establishes special assessment rates for projects occulTing the following year. Rates are typically adjusted annually to maintain the relative proportion of special assessments to other funding sources. Street Reconstruction Fund The Street Reconstruction Fund provides for the cost of local street improvements along roadways that are not designated as municipal state aid routes. The revenue for this fund is generated from franchise fees charged for the use of public right-of-way by natural gas and electric utility companies. The City's ability to provide adequate revenue for the Street Reconstruction Fund is currently one of the main limiting factors in determining the rate at which future street and utility improvements can be accomplished. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Fund State-shared gas taxes provide funding for street improvements and related costs for those roadways identified as MSA streets. The City has 21 miles of roadway identified as MSA streets and is therefore eligible to receive funding based on this designation. The annual amount available in 2015 is $870,741 and provides for maintenance and construction activities within the City's MSA street system. It is expected that revenues from the State will incrementally increase from 2015 through 2021 due to a phased-in statewide reformulation in allotment computations for cities. Capital Projects Funds The City Council adopted a Capital Project Funding Policy in January 2014, to provide reoccurring sources of funding for the City's Capital Projects Funds. The Policy specifically identifies three main funding sources including: audited year-end General Fund unassigned fund balance above 52% of the next year's General Fund operating budget; audited year-end Liquor Fund unrestricted cash balance that exceeds three and a half months of the next year's operating budget and one year of budgeted capital equipment needs; and Local Governmental Aid (LGA) received in the amount of $650,000 or half of the amount received by the City (whichever is greater). Other funding sources in this category include grants, park district funding, watershed funding, federal and state funding, and county funding as determined on a project by project basis. Typically the City Council has directed these funds towards municipal facilities such as parks, trails, public buildings and other general purpose needs. 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Program P a g e 12 TABLE 1. 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Plan - Summary by Funding Source Total FundingNeed 15-yr Average Annual Funding Need Percent of Total Need Water Utility $21,519,000 $1,434,600 15% Sanitary Sewer Utility $17,189,000 $1,145,933 12% Storm Drainage Utility $12,812,000 $854,133 9% Street Lighting Utility $2,645,000 $176,333 2% Municipal State Aid $10,954,000 $730,267 8% Street Reconstruction Fund $26,608,000 $1,773,867 18% Capital Projects Funds $30,372,000 $2,024,800 21% Special Assessment Collections $22,380,000 $1,492,000 15% TOTAL $144,479,000 1 $9,631,933 100% FIGURE 1. 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Plan - Overview of Project and Funding Sources.

The project area contains a total of 5,709 linear feet of local streets. The neighborhood consists of approximately 55 residential properties (RI to R4) and 1 commercial zoned property (C2). Streets This segment of roadway is designated as a Municipal State Aid Route. 63 Avenue was originally constructed in 1965. The existing street is 43 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter. Proposed street improvements consist of the replacement of curb and gutter to improve drainage, full depth replacement of bituminous street pavement and complete sidewalk replacement. Water main The existing water main in the 63 td Avenue project area consists of 6-inch and 10-inch diameter cast iron pipe (CIP) installed between 1956 and 1958. A condition survey must be conducted for the existing water system in the project area to determine the extent of corrosion. Water records indicate three main breaks have occurred within the project corridor, and one property has experienced a frozen water service in past winters. The water main is in fair condition based on current maintenance records. The current project cost estimate includes replacement of approximately 50 percent water main and miscellaneous hydrants as necessary in the project area. Sanitary Sewer The existing sanitary sewer consists of 8-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe lateral sewers. These sewers were originally installed between 1956 and 1960. Approximately 35 percent of the sanitary sewer is subjected to frequent problems with root intrusion. Root sawing must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system conveyance capacity. The condition of the sanitary sewer system within the neighborhood is rated as fair. The current project cost estimate includes complete replacement of the sanitary sewer. Storm Sewer 63 Avenue contains two storm drainage systems. The first drainage system consists of 12-inch and 15-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. This system flows to Orchard Avenue and then to the storm drainage pond in Cahlander Park. The second storm system ranges from 18-inch to 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe. This system drains to Brooklyn Boulevard and then to Shingle Creek. The current project cost estimate includes replacing a majority of catch basin structures, castings and various pipe laterals. Street Lighting The existing street light system is overhead power, with wood poles and a cobra head light fixture. The current cost estimate includes replacing the 14 wood poles with 14 fiberglass poles with a decorative rectilinear fixture and underground power.

Project Summaries P a g e 148 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Program Miscellaneous Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Improvements Lift Station 1 Wet Well Improvements/Rehabilitation - 2016 The existing lift station was installed in 1996. The current wet well design is a basic rectangle with an elevated wing wall. The flat bottom allows for solids to build and the wing wall traps grease thereby creating an ongoing maintenance issue where staff is required to enter the space multiple times per year for maintenance. To properly clean this wet well, workers must follow confined space entry procedures and enter the 28' deep structure. Even when all necessary precautions are followed, there is a significant level of danger involved when entering the structure. The goal is to "reshape" the wet well by mimicking the existing wet well at lift station 2 and eliminate the elevated wing wall. The wet well at lift 2 consists of a sloped configuration that nearly eliminates the buildup of any solids (rarely is it necessary to enter that wet well). Proposed rehabilitation includes pump replacement, miscellaneous appurtenance replacement, and wet well reconfiguration to aid in self-cleaning. Sanitary Sewer Lining along Mississippi River - 2016 This project extends from the manhole north of Interstate 694 on Willow Lane to the first manhole south of 57th Avenue on Lyndale Avenue, approximately 4,752 feet. The existing line is 21-inch to 24-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and contains root infiltrations throughout. Roots were last removed in 2011. Directly under the interstate is a 70 foot section of pipe where it appears through televising that the pipe was cut in half and put inside a 70 foot section of steel casing to form an invert. Water Tower No. 3 Painting - 2016 Tower No. 3, a 1.5 million gallon elevated storage tank located within the Centerbrook Golf Course was constructed in 1973. The complete exterior coating system was replaced in 1986. In 1998 the exterior was spot repaired, power washed and a urethane top coat was applied to the exterior of the tower. In 2005, the bottom shell course of the fluted exterior was coated and the entire exterior was power washed. This tank was last inspected in 2010. Although the steel substrate is still protected, a number of coating failures were noted on the interior (wet area and dry area) and are attributed to deficiencies in the coating system itself. The 2010 recommendation is to reevaluate in 5 years with an anticipated plan of complete coating replacement in 6 to 8 years. Based on the 2010 evaluation, Tower No. 3 is recommended for complete interior wet, interior dry and exterior coating rehabilitation in 2016. Water Tower No. 2 Painting - 2017 Water Tower No. 2, a one-million gallon elevated storage tank located at 69th Avenue and Dupont Avenue was constructed in 1960. In 1984, the interior (wet area) and exterior coating systems were completely replaced. In 1997, the interior coating system (wet area) was spot repaired and the exterior coating was spot repaired, power washed and a urethane top coat was applied to the existing system. The estimated service life for 1997 paint coating is 15 to 20 years as noted in a 1999 warranty inspection report. This tank was last inspected in 2005. Both the interior and exterior coatings required no repairs at that time. The 2005 recommendation is to re- inspect every 5 years. Tower No. 2 is scheduled to be inspected in 2011. Based on a 2009 review of the 2005 recommendation, Tower No. 2 is recommended for complete interior and exterior coating rehabilitation in 2017. Lift Station No. 2 Rehabilitation - 2017 This includes replacement of the emergency generator for Lift Station No. 2. The existing generator is a 1981 model with a typical lifespan of 35 years.

Due to well's 4, 9 and 10 ages Project Summaries P a g e 149 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Program and parts availability, they are due for VFD replacement. All five wells would be equipped with bypass switch gears that allow the operation of the well pump if the controls fault and need repair. Water Tower No. 1 Painting - 2018 Water Tower No 1, a 500,000 gallon elevated storage tank located at 6911, Avenue and France Avenue was constructed in 1958. In 1988, spot repairs of the existing interior were completed (wet area repaired with coal tar/epoxy coating) and the exterior • coating system was completely replaced. In 1999, the interior wet coating system was completely replaced and the exterior coating was spot repaired, power washed and a urethane top coat was applied to the existing system. The estimated service life for the 1999 paint coating is 15 to 20 years. This tank was last inspected in 2009. Both the interior and exterior coatings required no repairs at that time. The 2009 recommendation is to re-inspect every 5 years. Based on the 2009 inspection, Tower No. I is recommended for complete interior and exterior coating rehabilitation in 2018. Lift Station No. 9 Forcemain Replacement - 2019 The existing forcemain located south of lift station No. 9 was installed in 1969 and consists of 12-inch ductile iron pipe, which was verified in 2010 through an exploratory open excavation.

Storm Water Improvements Storm Water Management Basins In 2005, the City of Brooklyn Center hired the consulting firm of Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates to conduct a condition assessment of 30 storm water management ponds located throughout the City. The assessment process resulted in a list of improvements to address problems with shoreline erosion, sediment accumulation, inlet and outlet blockages and other miscellaneous maintenance issues. The City is currently updating the pond maintenance plan as part of the local water management plan update. Below are descriptions of two projects that were not considered routine annual maintenance work normally addressed as part of the annual operating budget for the Storm Drainage Utility. Descriptions of all needed pond projects are expected to be updated as part of the 2015C1P and budget process. Storm Water Pond 60-001 - 2015 Pond 60-001 is located west of Xerxes Avenue and south of Brooklyn Drive within Central Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 85 acres of upstream residential development. This pond was constructed in 2003. By 2013, preliminary estimates indicate that approximately 30 to 40 percent of the wet volume will be lost due to sediment accumulation. The proposed work consists of removal of sediment and installation of a skimmer structure to enhance the water quality treatment performance of the pond. Storm Water Pond 50-001 - 2015 Pond 50-001 is located within Cahiander Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 230 acres of upstream residential development. Due to the large watershed to pond area ratio, this pond is subject to higher rates of sediment accumulation and potential erosion issues. Traces of hydrocarbon pollutants were noted in the sediment during the most recent site inspection. The proposed project consists of dredging and properly disposing of sediment from the pond and repairs to various shoreline erosion issues. Park and Trail Improvements Centennial Park Tennis Court Resurfacing - 2015 Proposed construction includes the removal of two existing tennis courts and resurfacing of the two remaining two tennis courts within Central Park. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended replacing the two removed tennis courts with a basketball court as part of their 2015 ClIP plan review.

The trail segment proposed for replacement is between Interstate 94 and the south City Hall parking lot, east of Shingle Creek, that are adjacent to the main trail corridor which is owned and operated by the Three Rivers Park District. All adjacent bituminous trails east of the regional trail are proposed to be reconstructed to eight foot wide. The plaza areas are also proposed to be replaced. Play Ground Equipment Replacement - 2019 through 2021 Proposed replacement includes replacing park playground equipment over a three year period. A total of 20 parks located within Brooklyn Center contain 21 separate playground equipment areas, 18 that are maintained by the City and three that are maintained by the adjacent schools. Six playgrounds are scheduled for replacement each year over the three year period. An assessment of the playground equipment will need to be completed to determine replacement priority. Palmer Lake Trail Reconstruction - 2022 Proposed construction includes resurfacing of the existing trail system extending around Palmer Lake. This trail was last reconstructed in 2005 with an expected maximum service life of 15 to 20 years due to the soil stability issues within the park area. Miscellaneous Tennis Court Resurfacing - 2024 Proposed construction includes the removal of the existing tennis courts and resurfacing of the remaining tennis courts at Evergreen Park, West Palmer Lake Park, Northport Park, Grandview Park and Centennial Park. Project Summaries P a g e 152 2015-2029 Capital Improvement Program Hockey Rink Rehabilitation and Replacements - 2026 Proposed rehabilitation includes resurfacing of five existing rinks with other miscellaneous rink repairs. An assessment of the rink appurtenances will need to be completed to determine replacement priority. The rink located at Northport Park will be further evaluated with the Northport Park improvements and master planning being conducted in connection with the Northport School rehabilitation. Irrigation Systems Rehabilitation and Replacements 2026 The City's Irrigation systems are located as follows: Evergreen Park, Centennial Park, Northport Park, Grandview Park, 69th Avenue, Public Works Garage Facility, West Fire Station, Shingle Creek Parkway, 53 Avenue (Bellvue area), Xerxes Avenue, Bass Lake Road and County Road 57. The proposed rehabilitation estimate includes rehabilitation of the Evergreen Park and the 69th Avenue systems, which were installed in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Centennial Park Softball Field Regrading Improvements - 2026 The Centennial Park softball fields experience settlement due to the underlying organic soils. Over the years, settlement has occurred approximately one foot. This is evident in the fact that the light base foundations within the ball field areas have generally held their original elevations and are higher than the surrounding ground. Due to the proximity to Shingle Creek and the low lying areas, this settlement causes increased flooding and drainage issues. The proposed plan includes raising the ball fields one to two feet and replacement of any necessary appurtenances including irrigation systems, draintile, fences and bituminous/concrete trails and other paved areas. Softball/Baseball Fence Replacement - 2027 Proposed construction includes replacement of the line and outfield fences at West Palmer Lake Park. 691I Avenue Trail Reconstruction - 2027 Proposed construction includes replacement of the trail system along 69th Avenue from Brooklyn Boulevard to West Palmer Lake Drive. A nine foot wide trail section is proposed. Evergreen Park Score Board Improvements - 2027 Proposed construction includes installing new score boards at the two softball fields and one baseball field at Evergreen Park, and replacement of the scoreboard at the soccer/football field. 69th Avenue Landscape Rehabilitation - 2027 Proposed construction would include irrigation updates and replacing the landscaping plantings and sod along 691h Avenue from Brooklyn Boulevard to West Palmer Lake Dr. Park Trail and Lot Lighting Replacement - 2028 Replacement of trail and parking lot lights with energy efficient lighting (LED) fixtures, fiberglass poles, new wire in conduit in the following parks: Evergreen, Bellvue, Lions, Centennial East, and Centennial West. Work shall include replacing the electrical cabinets in Beilvue and Lions parks. Centennial Ball Field Score Board Replacement - 2027 Proposed construction includes replacement of the two score boards at the two softball fields at Centennial Park (east).

A full evaluation will be performed subsequently. Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Reconstruction/Complete Street Improvements Brooklyn Boulevard from 1-94 to the southerly City limits (49th Avenue) is a Hennepin County roadway (County Road 152) under their jurisdiction. The City completed the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study in 2013 to guide the reconstruction and redevelopment of this corridor. This study will be used to create a vision, identify an implementation strategy, identify costs for the improvements, and develop funding strategies for the improvements. The funding partnership and proportions are to be determined in the future but are anticipated to include federal funding, Hennepin county funding, Three Rivers Park District Funding and City funding.

Myszkowski and Ryan From: Cornelius L. Boganey, City Manager Date: December 1. 2014 RE: 2015 Final Budget Adoption It is my pleasure to transmit the 2015 budget for the City of Brooklyn Center. While the City Manager is tasked with the responsibility of preparing a budget, it cannot be accomplished without the clear policy direction provided by the City Council with input from the Financial Commission. It would be impossible to produce this budget without the cooperation and collaboration of the Leadership Team: Department Heads, Division Heads and other Staff Members. Special recognition should be given to the Fiscal Services Department and the Finance Director Nathan Reinhardt for his particular role in planning and coordinating the budget development process. It is our collective hope and expectations that this budget will succeed in its purpose to wisely manage our resources and implement policy for the benefit of an even greater community. Budget Overview The proposed 2015 budget, in financial terms, sets forth the action plan of the City. The priorities for staff, infrastructure improvement and service response are reflected in the allocation of resources in the plan developed in City Council Joint Work Sessions with the Financial Commission during the months of June through November 2014. The expenditure levels are focused on maintaining current services and on the achievement of the strategic goals and priority outcomes adopted by the City Council. The overall General Fund budget increase is 5.07% and the overall tax levy increase is 2.90%. The Median Value Residential Property in the City is $131,400 compared to the prior year value of $114,200, which is an increase in market value of more than 15 0/u. Despite the significant increase in residential property market values, property values have not yet fully recovered to previous levels of residential property values. The Median Value Residential Property will pay approximately $752 in City property taxes in 2015 compared to $661 in 2014, which is an increase of $91. The 2015 Budget incorporates the following significant items: Issuance of $5.2 million of debt to finance the street and sanitary portions of infrastructure improvement proj ects for 63'' Avenue North Reconstruction, Freeway Boulevard Improvements (west of Xerxes). and Freeway Area Improvements. This provides the needed funding for the continuation of our street and utilities neighborhood reconstruction program.

Fax: 763.561,0717 • The City recently contracted with Hennepin County for property assessment services, which resulted in the reduction of three full-time equivalents in City assessing staff. The estimated savings from the move to a contracted service is $138,000 annually, which has been incorporated in this budget. • A new position of Deputy Fire Chief was added to assist with emergency preparedness and additional operational needs of the Fire Department. • Personnel costs include a two percent general wage adjustment, a $57 increase in the monthly contribution to the cafeteria plan of full-time employees, and an expected vacancy savings of $150,000. • An appropriated contingency of $150,000, in the General Fund, available for unanticipated expenditures. The Proposed 2015 Levies On September 8, 2014, the City Council adopted the 2015 preliminary budget and maximum tax levies. There are three funds that require a tax levy; the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority Fund. The proposed final levy is as follows: General Fund - Operations Levy $ 14,332,534 General Fund - Abatement for Economic Development 49,000 Debt Service - Public Improvement Bond 396,496 Total Levy $ 14,778,030 Housing and Redevelopment Authority $ 280,460 The General Fund is the primary operating fund for government business of the City. The proposed General Fund Budget is as follows: The Proposed 2015 General Fund Budget Revenues Property Tax (net)$ 14,381,533 Excess Tax Increment 490,000 Lodging Tax 880,000 Licenses and Permits 728,115 Intergovernmental Revenue 1,362,941 Charges for Service 855,000 Fines and Forfeits 316,500 Other Revenue 388,512 Total General Fund Revenue $ 19,402,601 Expenses General Government $ 2,792,301 Police 7,887,235 Fire and Emergency Preparedness 1,266,048 Community Development 1,283,010 Other Services 983,253 Building and Grounds 857,958 Public Works 3,620,234 Community Activities Recreation Services 1,539,497 Miscellaneous (826,935) Total General Fund Expenditures S 19,402,601 Strategic Focus For the past several years the City Council has remained focused on the achievement of strategic goals and each year the budget has been crafted as a policy implementation tool focused on the achievement of these strategic goals. This 2015 business plan focuses on the Council adopted Strategic Priorities of Civic Engagement, Focused Redevelopment, Community Image, Financial Stability and Vibrant Neighborhoods. During this year's budgeting process department heads identified key initiatives and value propositions for their divisions focused on the achievement of strategic priorities, which are included in their respective narratives. The definitions of the Strategic Priorities and examples of some of those key initiatives for 2015 are as follows: Civic Engagement In order to clearly understand and effectively respond to community needs, the City will consistently seek the input from a broad range of stakeholders from the general public, non-profit and for profit sectors. Efforts to engage the community will be transparent and responsive. Our engagement efforts will be deliberately inclusive and culturally sensitive. • Initiated by the City Council, the City will implement the Brooklyn Center Citizens Leadership Academy also known as BCU. The primary goal of the academy is to provide an in depth introduction of Brooklyn Center local government to 20 citizen volunteers reflective of our diverse community. These individuals will participate in eight successive weekly "classes" with City department leaders, and elected officials. They will have an opportunity tour City facilities, learn the history and future plans for their local government. Through this effort we will foster an informed constituency and encourage greater participation in civic and community life. • Inclusive and culturally sensitive engagement. We will continue our Inclusion and Diversity efforts with the long term goal of establishing an organizational culture that promotes participation, engagement and creativity for employees while developing an intimate understanding and appreciation of our customers/citizens. Our Diversity and Inclusion Council will begin working with our contracted support service to prioritize, organize and implement the recommendation of the client audit conducted by Inclusion Inc. Program Needs Assessment We will conduct an internal needs assessment of our recreation amenities, programs and services. The results will ensure our facilities and offerings are meeting the needs and expectations of the citizens of Brooklyn Center. The assessment will also provide a strategy and prioritization for the continued development of park and recreation facilities and programs moving forward. Focused Redevelopment Redevelopment and renewal of commercial, industrial and residential property is essential to the health and vitality of the city. The City will lead efforts to maintain and increase the value of private properties and will make the necessary supporting infrastructure investments. We will encourage entrepreneurial investment and make strategic public investments to create jobs and grow the City's tax base. • Continued development of Shingle Creek Crossing. Work with the developer in their completion of the 116,861 sq.ft. of commercial buildings currently under construction. The completion of these buildings will achieve 77.8% of the TIF construction goal of 239,000 sq.ft. within the first 5 years of commencing the redevelopment of the former Brookdale Mall. Work with the developer in their development plans for the construction of a minimum of 53,135 sq.ft. of commercial buildings. • Commence redevelopment of the South Opportunity Site Area We will complete the demolition of the foundations and floor stabs of the former Brookdale Ford dealership and the vacant tenant spaces within the Brookdale Square commercial site. We will also continue to work with interested developers with the goal of entering into a development agreement for the first phase of the approved PUD. • Redevelopment of the 57th and Logan Ave. Area We will obtain MPCA approval to develop a detention pond that will remove contaminated soils and provide the necessary storm water design capacity for the planned commercial development of the southern 7.5 acres. A Letter of Intent for the planned commercial development of this site will be advanced into a Development Agreement 4 Community Image Our ability to attract and retain citizens and businesses is directly influenced by the perception of the City. We will take specific actions to assure that Brooklyn Center is recognized as a high quality, attractive and safe community. We will accomplish this by providing exceptional customer experience, vibrant neighborhoods and a sense of community thereby attracting private investment. Perception of safety and youth We will work to engage youth who have entered the criminal legal system at the first sign of trouble and direct them to resources that focus on improving their contribution to the community. We will work to identify youth who have been exposed to domestic violence in their home to resources within Cornerstone domestic abuse services. 25th Anniversary In 2015, the Earle Brown Heritage Center will celebrate 25 years of operation as one of the regions premier conference and events facilities, and as a centerpiece of the Brooklyn Center community. Through our 2015 marketing efforts, we will continually highlight this milestone anniversary and Brooklyn Center. Financial Stability We will maintain a positive financial position with a long term perspective by diversifying revenue sources, aligning fees to adequately reflect service costs, stabilizing property taxes while reducing the City's reliance on State Shared Revenues, and ensuring that revenues are adequate to fund services and infrastructure needs. • Value continuous improvement and innovation We will implement DocuSphere software, which will provide an automated workflow process for accounts payable. The software will allow finance staff to locate invoices/documents at all steps of the process, increase timeliness of invoice processing, eliminate duplicated processes and reduce manual data entry. Implement capital improvement financial strategy A financial strategy that uses a combination of General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Utility Revenue Bonds, a Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) loan and Utility Fund rate adjustments will be used to provide necessary Capital Improvement funding. We will continue to implement long-term forecasting. This includes updating our assumptions based on current information and review of potential financing options including new debt issuances. 5 Vibrant Neighborhoods Neighborhoods will be attractive, safe, inclusive of a diverse housing stock with owner occupied and quality rental properties. Citizens will feel connected to each other and the natural environment will be protected and preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. . Attractiveness We will implement the 22nd year of the street and utility construction program by providing the needed capital improvements, which increase value to the public infrastructure and provide a catalyst towards other aesthetical improvements and value throughout neighborhoods Citywide. o Stabilize and improve residential neighborhood We will coordinate and inspect residential rental properties in accordance with City code requirements and further develop and implement a recognition program for rental properties. o Provide accurate and timely information regarding property ownership and special assessments We will also continue to update processes, systems and public information to provide efficient and clear processing of homestead applications and ownership documents. This includes the implementation of a new database for property ownership and homestead status. General Fund Revenue Summary Licenses & Inter- Charges for Fines & permits \ governmental services _forfeitures Other ta: 7% Property 74% ther revenue 2% The 2015 General fund budgeted revenues total $19,402,601, which is an increase of $936,351 (5.07%) from 2014. Property tax revenue represents 74 percent of the General fund budget. The majority of the revenue increase is a result of increases in the general tax levy of $749,207 and property tax increment revenue of $90,000. 6 Last year the State passed a law that provided supplemental pension aid to police and fire departments state-wide to assist with increasing pension costs, the City will receive a supplemental police aid of $74,500 and a supplemental fire aid of $36,172. The fire relief supplemental aid will be received by the City but passed through to the Volunteer fire Relief Association. The City recently adopted a policy that would receipt half of the local government aid received for operations and half for capital improvements. This policy is intended to reduce the operationally reliance on local government aid and as a result the City has budgeted a General Fund reduction of $25,231.

Significant changes to personnel include: • A two percent increase in employee base wages • A $57 increase in monthly cafeteria contributions for full-time employees • Creation of a Deputy Fire Chief position. The estimated cost of this position including salary and benefits amount to $116,500. The new position will assist with emergency preparedness and additional operational needs of the Fire Department. Fi, 6 • Reduction of three property assessment personnel. The City has contracted with Hennepin County to provide these services in 2015. The annual net savings from the agreement is approximately $138,000. • Increase in the estimated vacancy/turnover savings by $25,000 to a total estimated savings of $150,000. • Beginning on or after January 1, 2014 the City became exempt from the State sales tax on most City purchases. As a result, the budget allocates $50,000 in anticipated General Fund sales tax savings to departments. o Additional $50,000 budgeted to support the City's Inclusion and Diversity efforts to implement recommendations of the client audit conducted by Inclusion Inc. o Implementation of new software that includes an automated accounts payable workflow software, automated utility work order software and capital building maintenance software to manage City building and system replacement and maintenance requirements. The total cost of purchase, license fees and implementation for these three programs is budgeted at $125,888. o Office remodeling costs of $15,000 to remodel the entrance and front entry area of the West Fire Station and $50,000 to remodel the office and front counters of the Building & Community Standards office area.

Commercial and industrial taxable market value had a relatively small decrease in taxable market value. 8 Tax Capacity Payable 2014 Tax Capacity % Other Apar tme nt ---0 .0 % 'Residential - 42.5% Commercial 32.4% Industrial .13.6% Payable 2015 Tax Capacity % Other Apartment 0.0% 11.8% -- 41 Commercial sidential 29.5% 46.6% kri^1'^41!1 Industrial The City levies a flat dollar for taxes which is spread amongst all taxable properties in proportion to their percentage of the total tax capacity of the City. As shown in the above chart, the increase in residential market value has resulted in a shift in total tax capacity from industrial and commerical to residential. Residential now represents 46.6% of the City's tax capacity. The total tax capacity of the City is estimated at $20,720,321 compared to $19,665,833 in 2014, which is an increase of $1,054,488 (5.4%). The increase in tax capacity results in a corresponding decrease in the City property tax rate. The decrease in the City property tax rate is the first since 2008.

The price of that median value home went from $114,200 to $131,400 with a taxable market value of $105,986. As a result of the market value increase, the City property tax will increase by an estimated $91 from $661 to $752. The chart shown on the previous page provides information on the median value home and City property taxes paid since 2009. The red bar and amounts on the left axis represent the median value home. In 2009, that value was $180,400 which subsequently decreased each year to its lowest value in 2014 of $114,200. For 2015, we are seeing a reversal of that trend. The grey shaded area and the amounts on the right axis is the property tax amount paid on that median value home. In 2009 the median value home paid $886 in City property tax, similar to the market value, we have seen a steady decline in City property taxes leading up to the latest valuation. Despite seeing residential property values recover significantly for the year, the values and corresponding property taxes still remain below the amounts from 2009 to 2011. Breakdown of Property Taxes *B a sed on a Residential Property in School District #279 City taxes accounts for 36 percent of property taxes paid by homeowners living in Brooklyn Center (based on the preliminary 2015 property tax levies). The remainder is comprised of taxes for the School District of 34 percent and County of 25 percent. The property tax paid by an individual property owner could be impacted because of several different reasons including; a change in value of the property, a change in the relative proportion of the property value to the total property value (shift in distribution of taxable market value to a different property type), an increase in property taxes requested for operations of the City General Fund activities and programs, and changes in the property tax needs of the County or School District. Brooklyn Center has four different school districts all with different levies and property tax implications. 10 2015 Cost of General Fund - Median Value Home Public Works, Community Technology Community $140 Recreation, Improvements, ServicE Fire & Emergency—/ Preparedness, $49 Golf Course, $2 Other, $32 General Government $100 Police, $306 The chart above provides a cost breakdown of the property taxes paid by the median value home. This chart provides an approximate tax dollar cost of the services provided by the City, but it should be noted that it does not take in consideration any costs outside the General Fund or reduce the cost for non-property tax funded expenses such as permit fees and charges for services of the various departments. In 2015, the typical homeowner will pay approximately $306 for police, $140 for public works, $100 for general government, $60 for community recreation, $58 for community services and $49 for fire and emergency preparedness. 2015 Capital Projects & Equipment Replacement The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a planning document that presents a fifteen-year overview of scheduled capital projects to address the City's goals for maintaining public infrastructure. The CIP includes a long-term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities. The City has a total of $12.98 million of improvements budgeted for 2015, including 63 k' Avenue North Reconstruction, Freeway Park Area Neighborhood Reconstruction Project and construction of an Amphitheater. Funding for these projects come from a variety of different sources. The complete CIP can be found in the Capital Improvement Program section towards the back of this budget book. The City compiles a rolling equipment replacement schedule for all City vehicles and equipment. The Central Garage, reported as an internal service fund, administers the funding, replacement schedule and disposal of equipment in the fleet. In 2015, the City is scheduled to replace $620,570 in vehicles and equipment. The detailed listing of equipment scheduled for replacement in 2015 and 2016 is included in the Internal Service Fund section of this budget book. Enterprise Funds Enterprise Funds are those programs provided by the City which generate their own revenues for operation and capital maintenance. The City operates the following three Enterprise Funds: 11 Brooklyn Center Liquor The City operates two municipal retail liquor stores to provide for the controlled sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the community. Profits from the operations are used to fund projects benefitting the community and avoiding the necessity of larger property tax levies for such projects. In 2015, the Liquor Fund will transfer $250,000 to the Capital Improvements Fund for future projects. Centerbrook Golf Course The mission of Centerbrook Golf Course is to be a premier value Minnesota golf course offering a challenging, well-conditioned course and exceptional customer service. Centerbrook Golf Course is a nine (9) hole, par three (3) golf course owned and operated by the City of Brooklyn Center. Even with the challenges of declining golf rounds, we are optimistic that many of the initiatives and course improvements will begin to reap dividends going forward; yet it is assumed that an annual subsidy for this recreational activity will be required for the foreseeable future. Our objective is to minimize the required subsidy each year by growing demand and improving efficiency. Earle Brown Heritage Center The Earle Brown Heritage Center (EBHC) is comprised of the Convention Center with Administrative Services, Catering Services and Commercial Office Rentals. These Divisions provide for the provision of maintenance, conference services, custodial functions, development, preparing, equipment servicing, and serving of food and beverage for events at Earle Brown Heritage Center. Maintenance of buildings and grounds of the commercial office spaces located at EBHC for two tenants. Additionally, the EBHC has a management agreement with Flik International for the food and beverage. Public Utility Funds The Public Utility Funds track revenues and expenditures for fee based public utility services provided by the City. These funds operate on their own ability to generate revenues and receive no property tax support. Each year the City Council reviews the operations of these funds and sets rates based on the needs for operations, capital spending and debt service payments. The City operates the following five Public Utility Funds: Water Fund The City has approximately 121 miles of water main, over 1,300 water valves and 1,000 fire hydrants providing service to over 7,000 single-family residential connections and approximately 1,600 apartment/commercial/industrial customers. The budget includes a rate increase for the Water Utility for both base and consumption charges. The City currently has a quarterly base charge of $8.20 per residential and commercial irrigation meter. In addition to this base charge, the City charges a consumption charge of $1.36 per 1,000 gallons (up to 30,000 gallons per quarter). The 2015 rates will 12 increase to $10.00 per residential meter and $1.66 per 1,000 gallons, which is an increase of $1.80 per quarter in base charges and $0.30 in the consumption charge per 1,000 gallons. Multi-family, commercial and industrial properties currently pay a quarterly base charge depending on the size of the meter and a consumption rate of $1.70 per 1,000 gallons. The 2015 consumption rate will be adjusted to $2.07 per 1,000 gallons, which is an increase of $0.37. The amount by which the water bills at any particular property will be affected by rate increases depends on the size of the meter connection and the amount of water consumed. The change in the quarterly utility bill for a household using 18,000 gallons of water (considered the typical residential user) is estimated to be $7.20 per quarter. Water rate increases are driven by the City's construction of a water treatment plant, which will reduce the level of manganese from our water supply. The water treatment plant is currently under construction and is expected to be up and running by the end of 2015. The (estimated) total cost for the water treatment plant is $19.98 million. Immediate financing will be achieved through a low interest loan under the Drinking Water Revolving Fund through the Minnesota Public Facility Authority (PFA) loan program. The loan will be repaid over twenty years at an interest rate of approximately one percent, which calculates to annual repayments of approximately $1.1 million. Water rates will be adjusted over the next three years to provide sufficient revenue for these annual loan repayments. The City annual compares its utility rates to nine other cities that are considered to be similar to Brooklyn Center. The results of that comparison show that even with an increase in water rates budgeted for 2015, Brooklyn Center will continue to have the second lowest rates among comparison cities as shown below: SSILW $00 tO cJ.cO sEo.tO $50.cO S4o.tO SkIm rO S. wKile BE1 SwIdyn Fliffley SbDreJav FOrKE11A mapilwwwd crpun Grilden R5Eille ratIw L Center Val ley [I5(i 13 Sanitary Sewer Fund The City provides for the collection and conveyance of wastewater through a systems of mains and lift stations. Sewage is treated by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, whose contracted services account for approximately 75 percent of the funds operating expenditures. The City currently charges a quarterly base charge of $74.70, which will increase to $78.45 in 2015. The $3.75 quarterly increase is predominantly driven by the replacement cost of sanitary sewer infrastructure related to the neighborhood reconstruction projects over the upcoming years. Storm Sewer Fund The City provides for the collection and management of storm water throughout the City in compliance with State and Federal regulatory requirements. The Storm Drainage Utility operates and maintains approximately 84 miles of storm sewers and nearly 100 storm water management ponds or treatment devices. There will be no changes to the current Storm Sewer fees. The current fees are sufficient to cover costs and meet fund balance targets for the near term future. Street Lighting Fund The City provides electrical service, maintenance, repair and replacement of lights owned by the City. The City owns approximately 71 ornamental lights, primarily in the Earle Brown commercial area, 85 ornamental lights on Brooklyn Boulevard, 40 ornamental lights along Xerxes Avenue, 72 ornamental lights along Bass Lake Rd and 57th Avenue and leases approximately 915 lights from Xcel Energy. Another 97 lights owned by the City are located on traffic signal systems. There will be no changes to the current Street Lighting fees. The current fees are sufficient to cover costs and meet fund balance targets for the near term future. Recycling Fund The Hennepin Recycling Group (HRG) is a joint powers organization consisting of the cities of Brooklyn Center, Crystal and New Hope. The HRG is responsible for managing a comprehensive recycling and waste education system for the residents of these cities. 14 Residents pay a Recycling Service fee on their utility bill for curbside recycling, the use of a yard waste and tree branch drop off site, and proper waste management and special material education and services. The City currently charges a quarterly base charge of $8.94, which will increase to $9.21 in 2015. The $0.27 quarterly increase is predominantly driven by operational needs of the utility. The Recycling Fund is currently below their targeted minimum cash balance and the additional revenue would bring the utility closer to that targeted cash balance. Housing and Redevelopment Authority The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy for 2015 is $280,460, which is a decrease of $1,650 from 2014. State law establishing a HRA provides for an operating levy of up to 0.0 185% of the taxable market value within the jurisdiction to carry out the purposes of the authority. In Brooklyn Center after forming an HRA, the City established an Economic Development Authority (EDA) that assumed and expanded the HRA responsibilities into the areas of economic development. The HRA levy is required to provide the funding for the EDA activities. 15 This page has been left blank intentionally. 16
