City of Brooklyn Center
A Millennium Community
May 18, 2015
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Brooklyn Center
Transmitted herewith is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Brooklyn Center for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Management of the City of Brooklyn Center assumes full responsibility for the completeness and
reliability of the information contained in this report based on the current system of internal control.
Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
Minnesota Statutes and City Charter Section 7.12 require that the financial statements of the City of
Brooklyn Center be audited annually by the State Auditor or a certified public accountant selected by
the City Council. These financial statements have been audited by Malloy, Montague, Karnowski,
Radosevich, & Co., P.A. (MMKR). Their opinion is included in the financial section of this report. In
addition, MMKR is required to issue an opinion on the City’s management and accounting for grant
funds from the federal government, often called the “Single Audit” report. That Single Audit report is
required for 2014 because the City received more than $500,000 in total federal grants. It has been
issued under separate cover.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report
and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in
conjunction with it.
Profile of the City of Brooklyn Center
The City of Brooklyn Center was incorporated in 1911. It is a northern suburb of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, adjacent to the City of Minneapolis and located 10 miles from its downtown area.
The City is wholly within Hennepin County and covers an area of about 8.5 square miles. The
Mississippi River forms the City’s eastern boundary.
The City has operated under the council-manager form of government since the adoption of the City
Charter in 1966. The governing body is comprised of the Mayor and four Council Members elected
at large. All members serve four-year terms with two of the Council Members standing for election
during each national election year cycle. The Mayor and Council Members hire a City Manager
who is responsible for the daily operations of the City.

The City provides a full range of municipal services to its citizens. These include police and fire
protection and services, zoning and code enforcement, municipal planning, parks, recreation
activities, construction and maintenance of streets, provision of water, wastewater collection and
treatment, stormwater collection and treatment, and street lighting. Community and economic
development are facilitated through a Housing and Redevelopment Authority and an Economic
Development Authority. The Boards of those two organizations are comprised of the Mayor and
members of the City Council. The City also has internal departments providing human resources,
engineering, financial management and information technology support to these various functions.
The City operates a conference and meeting facility at the Earle Brown Heritage Center, two
municipal liquor stores, and Centerbrook, an executive nine-hole golf course.
Financial planning and control for the City of Brooklyn Center is based on the Annual Operating
Budget and the multi-year Capital Improvement Program. Under Minnesota Statutes, a preliminary
property tax levy must be adopted no later than September 30 of each year for the ensuing year’s
collection. This establishes a maximum levy that may subsequently be lowered but not raised.
Effective establishment of this levy requires that a preliminary budget be prepared. The City
Manager, with the assistance of staff, prepares such a budget each year and presents it to the City
Council in August, prior to the consideration of the preliminary tax levy. In addition, the City
Council reviews the recommended rates and charges for utility funds and other operations on an
annual basis as part of the budget process. Citizens receive a notice of taxes proposed for their
individual properties in November based on the preliminary levies established by all taxing districts.
Following the receipt of this notice citizens are invited to public meetings in each taxing
jurisdiction. The City’s meeting includes information about the budget, the property tax levy and
the priorities of the City Council for the coming year as reflected by the budget allocations
proposed. Public comment is received and considered at this meeting. The final property tax levy
and the resulting operational budgets for the ensuing fiscal year are adopted at a subsequent
meeting.
In addition, a Capital Improvement Program is reviewed and revised during the budget process each
year. This includes projects for which the City may issue debt and/or assess portions of the cost to
adjacent or benefited property owners. Because there are limited funds available each year and the City
does not wish to issue excessive amounts of debt, these projects are reviewed and reprioritized each
year.
For the last several years the City Council has remained focused on the achievement of strategic goals.
City financial planning, policies, spending and initiatives reflect these goals. The City Council adopted
the five strategic priorities of Civic Engagement, Focused Redevelopment, Community Image, Financial
Stability and Vibrant Neighborhoods defined 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Local Economy
Brooklyn Center is a mature, fully developed first ring suburb of Minneapolis. With its affordable
housing, excellent schools, beautiful parks, and convenient transportation access it has the attributes to
continue as a vibrant community for many years to come.
The City experienced its most rapid growth from 1950 to 1970 when the City’s population grew from
4,300 to its peak of 35,173. The 2010 Census estimates the population for Brooklyn Center at 30,104.
The number of housing units has decreased from 11,704 in 1990 to an estimated 10,756 units in the
2010 Census. As in many mature, first-ring suburbs there is a trend toward conversion of single family
homes to rental properties.
The City’s taxable market value is $1,489,548,076 for taxes payable 2015, which is an increase of
$160,279,648 or 12.1 percent from last year. The taxable market value increase is driven by large
increase in residential (19.9%) and apartment (12.0%). 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 has resulted in the first decrease in the City property tax rate since 2008.
Residential housing makes up 45.7% of the 2015 tax capacity base which is an increase of 3.2% from
the 2014 tax capacity base, while the industrial portion of the tax base decreased by 2.8%. According to
the Hennepin County Assessor’s Office, for the valuation used to calculate the 2015 property tax
payments, the median value home in Brooklyn Center is $131,400 compared to $114,200 in the previous
valuation.
Major transportation routes in and through the City, including Interstates 94 and 694, and State
Highways 100 and 252, have provided a continued impetus for development of a strong commercial tax
base in the City along these corridors.
There are no large, undeveloped tracts of land in Brooklyn Center and no potential for annexation of
additional undeveloped land. Therefore, the revitalization of Brooklyn Center is proceeding on three
tracks: redevelopment and renewal of the commercial and industrial areas of the City; reconstruction
and enhancement of its streets, utilities, and parks; and the revitalization of neighborhoods.
The hospitality industry contributes a significant amount to Brooklyn Center’s economy. Lodging tax
receipts for fiscal year 2014 totaled $914,651.
City issued building permits in 2014 had a total permit value of $76,355,183, which is an increase from
$42,052,442 in 2013. Thirty-two large projects (over $200,000) occurred in 2014, compared to 22 in
2013.
Long Term Financial Planning
The State of Minnesota has provided significant funding to local governments through the Local
Government Aid (LGA) program over the past three decades. Funding shortfalls at the State budgetary
level have affected the allocation and distribution of LGA negatively. However in 2013, the State’s tax
bill included an increase and a new formula for the distribution of LGA beginning in 2014. For the City
of Brooklyn Center the certified LGA under the new formula for 2014 is $1,352,440, which is an
increase of $941,062 from 2013.
The City maintains a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan to facilitate the replacement of its aging
infrastructure. When streets are reconstructed in this program, aging water, sanitary and storm sewer
infrastructure is also repaired or replaced. These improvements are funded by a combination of general
obligation improvement bonds supported with special assessments against benefited properties and cash
from the capital projects funds and utility enterprise funds. About one twenty-fifth of the City’s streets
and utilities are reconstructed each year. It is expected that this will be an ongoing process and the Plan
is reviewed and amended as a part of each budget cycle. In addition, cash flows for all funds providing
financing for the Plan are updated for cash flow projections during the 15 year timeframe of the Plan.
The Capital Improvements Plan projects completion of the first citywide round of reconstruction of the
streets and utilities throughout the entire community by 2021. An additional benefit of these
neighborhood projects has been the increased investment by residents in their properties following
reconstruction projects.
The development of utility rate models and of non-utility cash flow projection models has improved the
City’s ability to plan and generate cash for operations, scheduled maintenance and capital
improvements. A plan for the maintenance and upgrading of the City’s buildings and facilities is being
incorporated into spending plans for both operational repairs and for large capital expenditure type
improvements.
Major Initiatives
A new water treatment plant is under construction and is expected to be up and running by the end of
2015. The (estimated) total cost of the water treatment plant is $19.98 million. Financing will be
achieved through a low interest loan under the Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund through the
Minnesota Public Facility Authority (PFA) loan program. The loan will be repaid over twenty years at
an interest rate of one percent. Water rates will be adjusted over the next three years to provide
sufficient revenue for the annual loan repayments.
Successful redevelopment continues to be the key to commercial and industrial tax base growth
including:
Shingle Creek Crossing, an 80-acre P.U.D. that includes the redevelopment of the former Brookdale
Mall.
In 2011, a significant portion of Brookdale Mall was removed and planned for redevelopment of
a shopping center that included the existing Sears and Kohl’s department stores and the
Applebee’s restaurant. The initial phase included the partial daylighting of Shingle Creek and
the infrastructure improvements for an 183,000 square-foot Walmart store, 15 new building
pads, and the renovation of 169,000 square-feet of the former Brookdale Mall.
In 2012, the Walmart store was opened and construction began on a 38,000 square-foot building
for LA Fitness and three retail buildings providing 29,134 square-feet of new commercial tenant
space.
nd
In 2013, the 2 phase of the site improvements was completed. LA Fitness was opened and
several tenant improvements within the three retail buildings were completed and the buildings
occupied. Site plans were approved for the Discount Tire Store, a fourth multi-tenant retail
building, and replacement of the food court portion of the former mall with ten retail buildings
to facilitate several junior box retailers.
Development activity scheduled for 2014 include the demolition of the 169,000 square-foot food
court building with the immediate construction of 92,000 square-feet of retail buildings, the
construction of an 11,200 square-foot multi-tenant building, the construction of a 6,673 square-
foot multi-tenant retail/restaurant building and site plan approvals for the remaining four lots
within the former Food Court lot. Major tenants scheduled to occupy these new retail spaces in
the spring of 2015, include Michaels, TJ Maxx, Jimmy John Restaurant and Aspen Dental.
Development planned for 2015 construction includes Discount Tire Store, an 11,200 square-foot
multi-tenant retail building, an 11,200 square foot building for two restaurants, and the
renovation of a 75,000 square-foot two story retail building (Kohl’s Department Store).
The southern portion of the 80 acre Opportunity Site, comprises 46 acres planned for a mixed use
commercial, office and residential P.U.D.
A housing market study was completed by the McCombs Group and the architectural firm of
ESG was retained to prepare a mixed use concept plan for this 46 acre site.
On December 20, 2013, the EDA acquired the 23.2 acre Brookdale Square shopping center site
which adjoins the EDA’s 8.4 acre former Brookdale Ford dealership property.
In 2014, the EDA acquired an additional 1.6 acre site and has discussed future redevelopment
plans with the four remaining businesses and/or property owner along John Martin Drive (the
northern portion of this redevelopment area).
In 2015, the EDA adopted the necessary findings of blighted building conditions that would
qualify this area as a future Tax Increment Redevelopment District or a Renewal and
Renovation District. Demolition of the building is scheduled to commence in spring of 2015.
The EDA continues to pursue redevelopment opportunities for market rate apartments that
include the type of units and amenities associated with move up housing options.
Luther Auto Group has completed a major portion of their redevelopment plans for the 39 acres located
on the north side of the I-694 and Brooklyn Boulevard interchange.
The 2010 major renovations to the Chevrolet and Buick & GMC dealerships.
The 2012 completion of a 52,228 square-foot Honda dealership and a 53,830 square-foot Toyota
dealership.
The 2013 approvals for the construction of a 42,360 square-foot Volkswagen dealership and a
th
2.8 acre expansion of the Honda Dealership’s sales lot which will open up space for a 6
dealership along 694.
In 2014, Luther demolished the old Honda dealership buildings and began construction of the
new Volkswagen dealership and completed expansion of Honda sales lot. The Volkswagen
dealership is scheduled to open in 2015.
Additionally, Luther’s master plans for this area include the acquisition, demolition, and
incorporation of two adjacent commercial buildings into the dealership lots.
Redevelopment of industrial properties include:
The completion of France Avenue IV Business Park, a 90,000 square-foot multi-tenant building
in December of 2012 with the leasing completed in early 2015.
In 2014, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
approved a Soils Investigation and Remediation Action Plan for the former Howe Fertilizer Site
and adjoin railroad property which enabled the processing of applications for environmental
cleanup funds from Hennepin County, DEED and the Met Council. The three grant applications
totaling $1.45 million were approved and cleanup plans have begun that will enable the
developer to proceed with the approved development of a 60,000 square foot multi-tenant
building on this five acre industrial site.
In 2014, Sign Zone completed the acquisition and renovation of the 140,000 square-feet of
office/industrial space at the former Palmer Lake Plaza office industrial buildings which enabled
Sign Zone plans to consolidate their business operations and have their corporate headquarters in
Brooklyn Center.
Additional development activities in 2014 include:
The EDA acquired the former Chrysler Auto Dealership, also known as Cars with Heart, a 5
acre commercial site at 6121 Brooklyn Boulevard. The buildings have been demolished and the
EDA has entered into a letter of intent for the redevelopment of this area for an assisted senior
housing project consistent with the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Planning Study.
The Northport Elementary School completed the expansion of their parking lot with a parent
drop off zone, additional of a separate bus unloading area that also provides 38 parking stalls for
park use during non-school hours, and new playfields which complement the Northport
Community Park.
The Three River Park District provided funding for a realignment of Twin Lakes Regional Trail
Corridor within the eastern portion of planned renovation of the Lake Pointe Apartments.
Additionally, planning for the 2016-17 construction of an extension of this regional trail along
th
57 Avenue, east of State Highway 100, to connect to the Mississippi Regional Corridor has
begun.
The Brooklyn Boulevard bridge and trail improvements over State Highway 100 were
completed and a cooperative grant application with Hennepin County has received favorable
scoring for the funding of the reconstruction of the southern portion of the Brooklyn Boulevard
Corridor Study (southern border of the City to Co. Rd. 10/Bass Lake Road).

City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
RFS
EPORT ON THE INANCIAL TATEMENTS
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the
City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
M’RFS
ANAGEMENTSESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INANCIALTATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
A’R
UDITORSESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
(continued)

O
PINIONS
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to on the previous page present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2014, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the budgetary
comparison for the General Fund and budgeted major special revenue funds for the year then ended, in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
OM
THERATTERS
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule of Funding Progress, as listed in the table of contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be
an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures
do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund
statements and schedules, and statistical section, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and
were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion,
the combining and individual fund statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2014
As management of the City of Brooklyn Center (the City), we offer readers of the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR), this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished
in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 1-7 of this CAFR.
Financial Highlights
•The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $138,723,647 (net position). Of

creditors.
•The City’s total net position increased by $3,343,455 (2.47%) from the previous year. A portion of this increase is attributed
to General Fund revenues exceeding budget expectations by $549,372 and General Fund expenditures under budget by
$862,576. The City received $646,175 in tax increment revenues more than the previous year, as a result of tax capacity
increases within the tax increment financing districts. Additionally, the Debt Service fund had a net change in fund balance
of $718,469 as a result of property tax and special assessment revenue collected in advance of the February debt payment
on the 2013B General Obligation Bonds.

Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City's basic
financial statements include three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes
to the financial statements. This CAFR also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements:
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a
broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference reported as net
position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
City is improving or deteriorating.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2014
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year.
All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of
the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash
flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion
of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include: general
government, public safety, public works, community services, parks & recreation, economic development, and interest on
long-term debt. The business- type activities of the City include: municipal liquor, golf course, earle brown heritage center, water
utility, sanitary sewer utility, storm drainage utility, street light utility, and the recycling utility.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also a legally
separate Housing and Redevelopment Authority and Economic Development Authority, for which the City is financially
accountable. Although legally separate, these component units, function for all practical purposes as a department of the City, and
therefore have been included as an integral part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 27 through 29 of this CAFR.
Fund Financial Statements:
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources
that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like state and local governments, uses fund accounting to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two
categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds:
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental
fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable
resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financial
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to
compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the
government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near-term
financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.
The City maintains 18 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet
and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the following: General fund,
Tax Increment District No. 3, Tax Increment District No. 5, Debt Service, Capital Improvements, Municipal State Aid for
Construction, and the Infrastructure Construction fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 11
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds is provided in the form of comibing statements or schedules, elsewhere in this CAFR.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2014
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for nearly all funds presented in this CAFR. A budgetary comparison statement
has been provided in the basic financial statements for the General fund and the Tax Increment District No. 3 fund. The budgetary
comparison statements for any nonmajor funds are provided elsewhere in this CAFR.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 30 through 38 of this CAFR.
Proprietary Funds:
Proprietary funds provide similar information to the government-wide financial statements, but in more
detail. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its: municipal liquor, golf course, Earle Brown Heritage Center, water
utility, sanitary sewer utility, storm drainage utility, street light utility, and recycling utility. All of the City's enterprise funds are
considered to be major funds, and separate information is provided for each of them in the basic financial statements.
Internal service funds
are an accounting device to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions.
The City uses internal service funds to account for its: central garage, employee retirement, and compensated absences
accumulations. All internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial
statements. Individual data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this CAFR.
Because all of these services predominately benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 40 through 45 of this CAFR.
Notes to the Financial Statements:
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data
provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 47 through 80 of this CAFR.
Other Information:
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information, which is a schedule of funding progress for other post-employment benefits (OPEB). The
schedule of funding progress can be found on page 81 of this CAFR.
The combining and budgetary comparison statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and
internal service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and budgetary
comparison statements can be found on pages 86 through 126 of this CAFR.

Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indictor of a government's financial position. In the case of the City,
assets exceeded liabilities by $138,723,647 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net position ($91,484,709 or 65.95%) reflects its investment in capital assets, which includes: land
infrastructure, buildings, and machinery & equipment, less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding.
The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to
repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these
liabilities.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the
government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
A portion of the City’s net position (20.23%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be
used. The remaining portion (13.82%) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations.
The governmental activities have a significant decrease in current assets from the previous year. The largest factor in this decrease
is with the cash & investments balances. Some of this decrease however, was due to an error by the County, who significantly
over-settled the last property tax settlement of 2013. This amount was recorded as a liability to the County in 2013, which can be
noted in the decrease of other liabilities.
The business-type activities also have a large decrease in current assets from the previous year. This decrease is due to the City
constructing a water treatment plant, which is also the reason for the large increase in capital assets over the previous year. The
City has to front the cash for the project expenses, but then is reimbursed with debt proceeds from the Minnesota Public
Facilities Authority (PFA) loan program.
The governmental activities, also had a significant decrease in the amount of long-term liabilities from the previous year. The
City retired $1,905,000 in governmental bonds outstanding during 2014.

Governmental activities accounted for 79.59% of the increase in the City's net position. The change in net position from the
previous year can be attributed to favorable budget variances in General Fund revenues and expenditures, additional local
government aid received, and tax increment revenues. Additionally, the Debt Service fund collected property tax and special
assessment revenue in advance of the debt payment due in February for the 2013B General Obligation Bonds.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2014
A significant change from the previous year is show in capital grants, mostly due to a municipal state aid receivable recognized as
revenue in the government-wide statements. The City had completed a significant street infrastructure improvement project in
2013, which was funded from special assessments to the respective property owners and municipal state-aid construction grant
funds.
Governmental activities also has a large change in operating grants from the previous year. During 2013, the City was awarded
Community Block Grant and Neighborhood Stablization Program Grant funds. The funding available from these grant funds were
reduced in 2014.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental Funds:
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as useful measure of a government's net resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $46,205,188, which
is an increase of $1,324,960 (2.95%) from the previous year. The unassigned fund balance, which is not subject to internal or
external constraints upon its use, is $8,325,476, or 18.02% of total fund balance. A small portion of the fund balance, $21,967
(0.05%) is in nonspendable form. The remaining fund balance has either internal or external constraints upon its use, and can be
broken down into the following components: $26,434,113 (57.21%) of restricted fund balance; $10,514,871 (22.76%) of committed
fund balance; and $908,761 (1.96%) of assigned fund balance. A more detailed breakdown of fund balance components can be
found in the basic financial statements.
The General fund is the primary operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund balance is $11,020,081.
As a measure of the General fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned and total fund balance, to total fund
expenditures. Unassigned balance, which is $10,089,353, represents 57.64% of the current year General fund expenditures. Total
General fund balance represents 62.96% of those same expenditures.
The fund balance of the City’s general fund decreased by $1,362,632 (11.00%) from the previous year. The City had budgeted for
a break-even year in 2014, however the City Council approved a transfer to the Capital Improvements Fund of $2,754,124 of
available fund balance. Prior to the transfer the City had an increase in fund balance, which was attributed to positive variances
for both revenues and expenditures. Revenues were in excess of budget due to building permit revenue exceeding expectations
and additional intergovernmental revenue, mainly as a result of additional police and fire state pension aid. The most significant
expenditure budget variance was in the police department, due to the patrol division being short handed in the personnel area for a
majority of 2014 and lower fuel costs.
The Tax Increment District No. 3 fund has a total fund balance of $17,898,749 at the end of the year. The increase in fund
balance was $70,758 (0.40%) from the previous year. The fund received $3,038,983 in tax increment revenues, which exceeded
the budget amount by $100,333. As of December 31, 2014 the fund has total assets held for resale of $15,623,075, which was an
increase of $1,847,900.
The Tax Increment District No. 5 fund has a total fund balance deficit of $1,299,859 at the end of the year. The increase in
fund balance was $132,636 (9.26%) from the previous year. The fund received tax increment revenues of $292,064 and a pay as
you go payment on a tax increment note of $114,405. As of December 31, 2014 the fund had notes oustanding of $1,210,000 and
an advance from Tax Increment District No. 2 outstanding of $2,442,676.
The Debt Service fund has a total fund balance of $1,909,441 at the end of the year. The increase in fund balance was $718,469
(60.33%) from the previous year. The increase in fund balance is primarily the result of property tax and special assessment
revenue collected in advance of the February 2015 debt payment on the 2013B General Obligation Bonds.
509,230, an increase of $3,436,472 (111.84%) from the previous
The Capital Improvements fund has a total fund balance of $6,
year. The increase in fund balances is the result of the City Council implementing a Capital Projects Funding Policy during 2014.
The results of that policy were $3,116,314 of transfers in, which was the primary result for the increased fund balance.
The Municpal State Aid Construction fund has a total fund balance of $1,830,100 at the end of the year. The decrease in fund
balance was $493,622 (21.24%) from the previous year. As of December 31, 2014 the fund had a receivable balance in the
amount of $1,077,504 in Municipal State Aid Construction funds.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2014
The Infrastructure Construction fund has an ending deficit fund balance of $463,193 a decrease of $1,433,335 (147.74%) from the
previous year. The fund incurred $1,542,554 of capital expenditures during the year for the Wangstad neighborhood re-construction
project. The Infrastructure Construction fund transferred $2,785,269 to the Streets Reconstruction fund to allocate the proceeds of
the 2013B G.O. Improvement bonds, as total project costs were not known at the time of the bond issuance. As part of the
completion of the Kylawn Area Infrastructure Improvements project, there was a total of $1,922,693 of transfers between the
following funds: Municipal State-Aid for Construction, Infrastructure Construction, Streets Reconstruction, Water Utility, Sanitary
Sewer Utility, Storm Drainage Utility and Street Light Utility.
Proprietary Funds:
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information presented as business-type activities
found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The enterprise funds have a combined ending net position of $55,702,048, of which $7,164,916 (12.86%) is unrestricted and can
be used to meet the operations. As a measure of the liquidity of the enterprise funds, it may be useful to compare the unrestricted
net position to the operating expenses. For the current year, unrestricted net position is 58.10% of the current year operating
expenses. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City's
business-type activities.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
During the year, there were no amendments to the General Fund budget. Actual revenues and other financing sources exceeded
the adopted budget by $528,916. The major contributors to this were increases in licenses and permits for redevelopment
activities, additional revenues related to rental dwelling conversions and inspections, and the receipt of additional police and fire
state pension aid. Actual expenditures and other financing uses were higher than the final budget for the year by $1,891,548. This
was the result of a transfer of $2,754,124 to the Capital Improvement Fund in accordance with City policy to transfer unassigned
fund balance of the General Fund that exceeds 52% of General Fund budgeted expenditures following the completion of the annual
audit. The reduction in fund balance from the transfer was partially offset in savings from several staff positions being left unfilled
during a portion of 2014, in the Police Department and General Government Buildings.

Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets:
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities at the end of the current
year, amounts to $97,929,709 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes: land, buildings,
infrastructure, machinery and equipment and construction in progress. The City's investment in capital assets increased $6,262,018
(6.83%) from the previous year.
Major capital asset events during the current year included the following:

The City’s total bonded debt decreased $2,045,000 (7.77%) from the previous year. The City reduced its bonded debt during the
year by paying off $2,045,000 of principal on previously issued bonds.
The City’s bond rating is AA from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a Minnesota city may issue to 3% of total Estimated Market Value. The
current debt limitation for the City is $39,878,053. The City does not currently have any debt outstanding that is applicable to the
limit.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 3 (F) on pages 67 through 69 of this CAFR.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget and Rates
All of these factors were considered in the preparation of the City’s budget for the 2015 fiscal year.
•The unemployment rate for the City is 3.60% at the end of the 2014 fiscal year, which is a decrease from the rate of 5.10% a
year ago. This compares to the State’s average unemployment rate of 3.60% and the national average of 5.40%.
•An increase in estimated taxable market value of 12.1 percent from taxes payable 2014 to 2015. The taxable market value
increase is driven by significant increases in residential (19.9%) and apartment (12.08%).
•Continuing redevelopment throughout the City will yield net growth in tax base and stability in tax base along with providing job
growth in the City.
•Development activity in 2014 of the Shingle Creek Crossing site, included the demolition of the 169,000 square-foot food court
building with the immediate construction of 92,000 square-feet of retail buildings, the construction of an 11,200 square-foot
multi-tenant building, the construction of a 6,673 square-foot muti-tenant retail/restaurant building and site plan approvals for the
remaining four lots within the former food court lot. Major tenants scheduled to occupy these new retail spaces in the spring of
2015, include Michaels, TJ Maxx, Jimmy John's Restaurant and Aspen Dental.
•Development planned for 2015 construction includes a Discount Tire Store, an 11,200 square foot multi-tenant retail building, an
11,200 square foot multi-tenant building, an 11,200 square foot building for two restaurants and the renovation of a 75,000
square foot two story retail building.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2014
•In December 2013 the EDA purchased a 23.2 acre property formerly known as the Brookdale Square shopping center which
adjoins the EDA's 8.4 acre former Brookdale Ford dealership site. The EDA continues to pursue redevelopment opportunities
for market rate apartments that include the type of units and amenities associated with move up housing options.
•Luther Auto Group has completed a major portion of their redevelopment plans for the 39 acres located on the north side of the
I-694 and Brooklyn Boulevard interchange. In 2014, Luther began the construction of the new Volkswagen dealership and
completed the expansion of the Honda sales lot. The Volkswagen dealership is scheduled to open in 2015.
•Hennepin County, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), and the Metropolitan Council
approved three grant applications totalling $1.45 million to complete a soils investigation and remediation action plan for the
former Howe Fertilizer Site. This enables development of an approved 60,000 square-foot multi-tenant building on the five
acre industrial site.
•In 2014 the EDA acquired the former Chrysler Auto Dealership, a five acre commercial site at 6121 Brooklyn Boulevard.
The buildings have been demolished and the EDA has entered into a letter of intent for the redevelopment of this area for an
assisted senior housing project.
•Construction is underway 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. Financing will be achieved through a low interest loan under the
Drinking Water Revolving Fund through the Minnesota Public Facilities (PFA) loan program. The loan will be repaid over
twenty years at an interest rate of one percent. As of December 31, 2014 the City had not drawn down any of these funds,
however the City incurred expenses for the construction of the water treatment plant. The City received its first reimbursement
on January 30, 2015 in the amount of $4,468,266.
•Utility rates have been projected into a rolling 15 year model to allow for funding of system maintenance, technology changes
and capital repair and replacements while moderating annual rate adjustments. On January 1, 2015 the sanitary sewer utility
quarterly base charge increased from $74.70 to $78.45 and the recycling quarterly charge increased from $8.94 to $9.21.
•Beginning on April 1, 2015 the water utility rates increased for both base and consumption charges. The quarterly base charge
of $8.20 per residential and commercial irrigation meter increased to $10.00 per meter. The consumption charge of $1.36 per
1,000 gallons (up to 30,000 gallons per quarter), increased by $0.30 per 1,000 gallons. Multi-family, commercial and industrial
properties pay a quarterly base charge depending on the size of the meters and a consumption rate per 1,000 gallons. The
consumption rate increased $0.37 to $2.07 per 1,000 gallons.
The City’s policy is to maintain a General fund unassigned fund balance of 50% - 52% of the ensuing year’s budgeted General
fund operations. In January 2014, the City Council adopted a capital project funding policy that transfers the amount of fund
balance exceeding 52% to the Capital Improvements fund following the completed audit of the City's CAFR. The City transferred
$2,754,124 for Capital Improvements from the General Fund. The City has assigned $908,761 (the amount exceeding 52%) for
capital improvements within the General Fund. Total unassigned and assigned fund balance at the end of 2014 was $10,998,114
(56.68%) of the adopted 2015 budgeted expenditures.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES
IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Total net change in fund balances - governmental funds1,324,960$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation.
Capital outlays3,353,244
Depreciation expense(2,392,916)
Contributions of capital assets to the proprietary funds decrease net position in the statement of
activities, but do not appear in the governmental funds because they are not financial resources.(639,266)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while
the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position.
Principal repayments1,905,000
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,
and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,
interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.(75,259)
Certain revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting, certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available to
liquidate liabilities of the current period.
Property taxes(48,595)
Tax increments(5,345)
Special assessments173,999
Interest on notes receivable60,000
Intergovernmental(826,014)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of certain activities to
individual funds. This amount is net revenue attributable to governmental activities.(168,636)

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
The City of Brooklyn Center was incorporated in 1911 and has operated under a Council/Manager form of government
since the adoption of the City charter in 1966. The governing body consists of a Mayor and four City Council members.
elected at-large to serve four-year staggered terms. The City provides a full range of municipal services to its citizens,
including public safety (police and fire protection), highways and streets, parks and recreation, public improvements,
planning and inspections, economic development, sanitary and storm sewer, water, and general administrative services.
Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP), as applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB).
The City’s significant accounting policies are described below.
A. REPORTING ENTITY
The City includes all funds, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments, boards, and offices that are not legally
separate from the City. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the City
are financially accountable and are included within the basic financial statements of the City because of the
significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
The City is considered financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting majority of the
organization’s governing body and is able to impose its will on the organization by significantly influencing the
programs, projects, activities, or level of services performed or provided by the organization, or there is a potential for
the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the City.
Blended component units, although legally separate, are, in substance, part of the government’s operations. A
blended component unit is reported as if it were a fund of the City throughout the year. It is included at both the
government-wide and fund financial reporting levels.
A description of the City’s blended component units follows:
City of Brooklyn Center Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
- The City Council serves as the Board of
Directors for the HRA. The Council reviews and approves the tax levy and all expenditures for the HRA. The HRA is
reported as a Special Revenue fund. The HRA does not issue separate financial statements. Financial information
may be obtained at the City’s offices.
City of Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority (EDA)y
– The governing board for the EDA is the Cit
Council. The council reviews and approves major community development improvement activities. City general
obligation tax increment financing bonds are issued to finance EDA activities. The EDA is reported as a Special
Revenue fund. The EDA does not issue separate financial statements. Financial information may be obtained at
the City’s offices.

P include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or business-type activity and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or business-type activity. Taxes

and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as .
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial
statements.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PRESENTATION
economic resources measurement focus
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the and the
accrual basis of accounting
, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes and
special assessments are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
current financial resources measurement focus
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the and the
modified accrual basis of accounting
. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter
to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers all revenues, except reimbursement
grants, to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Reimbursement
grants are considered available if they are collected within one year of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures
generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures,
as well as expenditures related to claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest associated with the
current fiscal year are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the
current fiscal year. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal year is considered
to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable
and available only when cash is received by the government.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
This is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Most of the current
day-to-day operations of the governmental units are financed from this fund.
Tax Increment District No. 3 Special Revenue Fund
This fund was established to account for the collection of tax increment generated revenues for parcels
within the District. These funds are used to finance the various redevelopment activities throughout the
City. This fund also provides the resources to repay the debt service on bonds issued to finance these
redevelopment activities.
Tax Increment District No. 5 Special Revenue Fund
This fund was established to account for the collection of tax increment generated revenues for parcels
within the District. These funds are used to finance the various redevelopment activities within the District,
which consisted of the redevelopment of the former Brookdale mall site, which is now called Shingle
Creek Crossing.
Debt Service Fund
This fund is used to account for the collection of property taxes, special assessments and other resources
which are used to repay the principal and interest on debt issued for various improvements in the City.
Capital Improvements Capital Project Fund
This fund was established to provide funds and to account for the expenditure of such funds, for major
capital outlays. The accumulation of funds to provide for such outlays is an attempt to reduce future debt
issuance. The financing sources of the fund primarily consist of transfers from other funds.
Municipal State-Aid for Construction Capital Project Fund
This fund was established to account for the state allotment of construction and maintenance aid. The
source of the State funding is provided for through the collection of gasoline taxes. The funds accumulated
must be used on transportation related construction and maintenance projects.
Infrastructure Construction Capital Project Fund
This fund was established to account for the resources and expenditures required for the acquisition and
construction of capital facilities or improvements financed wholly or in part by special assessments
levied against benefited properties.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
The government reports the following major enterprise funds:
Municipal Liquor Fund
The fund accounts for the operations of the City’s municipal off-sale liquor stores.
Golf Course Fund
The fund accounts for operations of Centerbrook Golf Course, a 9 hole executive golf course owned by
the City.
Earle Brown Heritage Center Fund
The Earle Brown Heritage Center is a pioneer farmstead that has been historically preserved and restored
as a modern multipurpose facility. Its convention center can host conferences, trade shows and concerts.
Water Utility Fund
The fund accounts for pumping, treatment and distribution of water to customers. Administration, wells,
water storage, and distribution are included.
Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund
The fund accounts for the collection and pumping of sanitary sewage through a system of sewer lines
and lift stations. Sewage is treated by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services whose fees
represent about 58% of this fund’s operating expenses.
Storm Drainage Utility Fund
The fund accounts for the collection and treatment of surface runoff water that does not require
sanitary wastewater treatment. It incorporates not only the storm sewer collection system, but also
structures such as holding ponds and facilities to improve water quality. Fees are based upon the
quantity of water running off a property and vary with both size and absorption characteristics of the
parcel.
Street Light Utility Fund
The fund accounts for the electrical service, maintenance, repair and replacement of lights owned by
the City as well as those lights owned by Xcel Energy.
Recycling Utility Fund
The fund accounts for the contracted services to provide a City wide recycling program.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Funds
Account for compensated absences, health care insurance benefits for retired employees, and central
garage services provided to other departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as revenues, expenditures or expenses if they
involved external organizations, such as buying goods and services or payments in lieu of taxes. Elimination of these
charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
operatingnon-operatingd
Proprietary funds distinguish revenues and expenses from items. Operating revenues an
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary
fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds and internal service
funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service
funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues
and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
D. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. All of the cash and investments allocated to the proprietary funds have original maturities of 90 days or
less.
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other
authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by
each of the funds.
The City’s investment policy authorizes the City to invest in the following:
a) Securities which are direct obligations or are guaranteed or insured issues of the United States, its agencies, its
instrumentalities, or organizations created by an act of Congress, including governmental bonds, notes, bills,
mortgages (excluding high-risk mortgage-backed securities), and other securities.
b)Commercial paper issued by U.S. corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries that is rated in the highest quality
by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies and matures in 270 days or less.
c)Time deposits that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or bankers acceptances of U.S.
banks.
d)Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements with financial institutions identified by Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 118A.
e)Securities lending agreements may be entered into with financial institutions identified by Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 118A.
f)Minnesota joint powers investment trusts may be entered into with trusts identified by Minnesota Statutes Chapter
118A.
g)Money market mutual funds regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and whose portfolios consist
only of short term securities permitted by Minnesota Statutes 118A.
h)Bonds of the City of Brooklyn Center issued in prior years, may be redeemed at current market price, which may
include a premium, prior to maturing using surplus funds of the debt service fund set up for that issue.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
Investments are reported at fair value, based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date, except for
investments in 2a7-like external investment pools, which are stated at amortized cost. Adjustments necessary to
record investments at fair value are recorded in the operating statement as increases or decreases in investment
earnings. Investment income on commingled funds is allocated monthly, based on month-end balances.
E. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services
rendered. Short-term interfund loans are classified as “due to/from other funds.” All short-term interfund
receivables and payables at December 31, 2014 are planned to be eliminated in 2015. Long-term interfund loans are
classified as “advances to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities
and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances".
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by restricted or committed fund
balance in applicable governmental funds. This classification is based on the restraint that will be placed on the
advanced funds when they are returned to the lending fund.
All miscellaneous accounts receivable and trade receivables, other than utilities, are presented net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts. All utility trade receivables are reported at gross because it is the City’s policy to certify delinquent
account balances as special assessments. The City expects to make full collection of all property tax and special
assessment receivables, so no allowance is considered necessary.
Property tax levies are submitted to the County in December each year. The County allocates these levies across
taxable properties in the City based on valuations certified in the prior year. The County collects these levies and
distributes the City’s proceeds in June and December of the fiscal year. These taxes are reported as general revenues
in the government-wide financial statements in the year levied. Unpaid taxes at December 31 become liens on the
respective property and are classified as delinquent receivables and are fully offset by a deferred inflow of resources
in the fund financial statements. Delinquent taxes receivable includes the past six years of uncollected taxes.
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners. These
assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the County. Governmental special assessments have
been offset by a deferred inflow of resources for collections not received within 60 days after year end in the fund
financial statements.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
F. INVENTORIES AND PREPAID ITEMS
Inventories in the governmental funds are reported using the consumption method and valued at cost, using the first
in/first out (FIFO) method. Inventories in the proprietary funds are valued at cost, using the weighted average method
in the Municipal Liquor and Earle Brown Heritage Center Funds and the FIFO method in all other funds.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in
both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported using the consumption method and
recorded as expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
G. ASSETS HELD FOR RESALE
Assets held for resale represent various property purchases made by the City with the intent to sell in order to increase
tax base or to attract new businesses. These assets are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. During the
year ended December 31, 2014 management has reviewed the cost value reported for these assets and has indicated
the properties are fairly presented for financial reporting purposes.
H. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and
similar items), and intangible assets such as easements and computer software, are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are
defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost in excess of the amounts in the table below and an
estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during
the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the
assets constructed . For the year ended December 31, 2014 no interest was capitalized in connection with construction
in progress.
Capital assets of the City, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Easements - temporary5years
Land improvements25years
Buildings and structures25years
Water and sewer mains and lines, wells and storage
tanks, sewer lift stations25years
Infrastructure25years
Street light systems15years
Machinery and equipment5 - 15years
I. DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
In addition to liabilities, statements of financial position or balance sheets will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position that
applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has
only one type of item, which arises under a modified accrual basis of accounting, which qualifies for reporting in this
category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds Balance Sheet. The
governmental funds report unavailable revenue from sources such as: property taxes, tax increments, special assessments
and other receivables not collected within 60 days of year-end. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow
of resources in the period the amounts become available.
J. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. All vacation
and vested sick leave pay is accrued in the Public Employees Compensated Absences internal service fund. In
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Government Accounting Standards No. 16, Accounting for Compensated
Absences, a liability is recognized for that portion of accumulating sick leave benefits that is vested.
K. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Under Minnesota Statute 471.61, subdivision 2(b), public employers must allow retirees and their dependents to continue
coverage indefinitely in an employer-sponsored health care plan, under the following conditions: 1) retirees must be
receiving (or eligible to receive) an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan; 2) coverage must continue in group
plan until age 65 and pay no more than the group premium; and 3) retirees may obtain dependent coverage immediately
before retirement. All premiums are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The liability was actuarially determined, in
accordance with GASB Statement 45, at January 1, 2014. The liability is accrued in the Public Employees Retirement
internal service fund.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
L. LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt
and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type
activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs,
are immaterial and are expensed in the year of bond issuance.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
M. FUND EQUITY
Fund equity in the fund financial statements is classified as fund balance for governmental funds and net position for
proprietary funds. Fund equity in the government-wide financial statements is classified as net position for both
governmental and business-type activities.
Fund Balance
– In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that
disclose restraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable
– consists of amounts that are not in spendable form or are required to be maintained intact.
Restricted
– consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or
contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed
– consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints are imposed by formal action (resolution)
of the City Council, which is the highest level of decision making authority.
Assigned
– consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints reflect the specific purpose for which it is
the City’s intended use. These constraints are established by the City Council or, pursuant to council resolution, the
City Manager or the Director of Finance.
Unassigned
– is the residual classification for the general fund and also reflects negative residual amounts in other
funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available for an allowable use, it is the City’s policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. When committed, assigned, or unassigned
resources are available for an allowable use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the following order; 1)
committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
The City has formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund. The policy establishes a year-end target
unassigned fund balance amount of 50-52% of the next year’s operating budget for cash flow needs (working capital).

Net Position
– Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities. Net position, net investmen
t
in capital assets, consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of
any bonds used for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Net position is reported as restricted
when there are limitations imposed on their use either through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation, or
through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. All
remaining net position is reported as unrestricted.
When both restricted and unrestricted net position are available for an allowable use, it is the government’s policy to
use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
N. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues and expenditures or expenses. Transactions that
constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to
another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of
expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
O. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from such estimates.
P. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board recently approved the following statements which were not
implemented in these financial statements. The effect these standards may have on future financial statements has not
been determined at this time.
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensionso
Statement No. 68, . The primary objective of this statement is t
improve accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments for pensions. It revises existing standards of
financial reporting for most pension plans. The provisions of this statement are effective for periods beginning after
June 15, 2014.
Pension Contributions Subsequent to Measurement Date
Statement No. 71, . The primary objective of this statement

net pension liability. The provisions of this statement are effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2014.
air Value Measurement and Application .
FThe primary objective of this statement is to enhance
Statement No. 72,

Q. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Items Previously
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 65,
eported as Assets and Liabilities.
R Statement No. 65 identified specific items previously reported as assets that will
now be classified as either deferred outflows of resources or outflows (expenditures/expenses), and items previously
reported as liabilities that will now be reported as either deferred inflows of resources or inflows (revenues).
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the City had reported balances of assets held for resale as a deferred inflow of
resources, similar to reporting prior to GASB 65, as deferred revenue. However, under GASB 65, the reporting of the
balances should be included in equity. Therefore, the City determined it was necessary to restate the beginning fund
balances for the Economic Development Authority and the Tax Increment District No. 3 special revenue funds. The details
and respective amounts of the restatements are below:

do have the option to extend their lease terms by five years, however, the City acquired the respective property in 2013
as part of a redevelopment plan, so the likelihood of the leases being extended are minimal. For the year ended 2014, the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
All long-term bonded indebtedness outstanding at December 31, 2014 is backed by the full faith and credit of the City,
including improvement and tax increment bond issues. Bonds in the governmental activities will be retired by future
property tax levies, tax increments or special assessments accumulated in the specific debt services funds. In the event
that a deficiency exists because of unpaid or delinquent taxes or special assessments at the time a debt service payment
is due, the City must provide resources to cover the deficiency until other resources are available. At the end of the current
year, there are $3,848,634 of assets accumulated in the debt service funds for future debt service. Included within those
accumulated assets, there are a combined $36,326 of delinquent property taxes and special assessments receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
The utility revenue bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the City. Bonds in the business-type activities will
be retired with the net revenues of the Water Utility and Sanitary Sewer Utility systems. (Net revenues of each
system are defined as the excess of gross revenues and earnings over the normal, reasonable, and current costs of
operating and maintaining the system.) In the event that a deficiency exists because of inadequate net revenues at the
time a debt service payment is due, the City must provide resources to cover the deficiency until other resources are
available. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the water and sewer utility funds provided net revenues of $816,521,
which accounts for a debt-service coverage ratio of 376.45%.

CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
From time to time, the City has issued Housing Revenue Bonds and Industrial Revenue Bonds or Notes to provide
assistance to qualified private sector entities for the acquisition and construction of housing, industrial, or commercial
facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds or notes are secured by the property financed and are payable
solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. The City has no obligation of its assets or of its
general tax base for the repayment of any of these bonds or notes. Accordingly, the bonds or notes are not reported as
liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Upon final redemption of the bonds or notes, ownership of the
property transfers to the private sector entity served by the bond or note issue.
As of December 31, 2014 there were two series of fixed rate Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding bonds, one
Housing Revenue Development Refinancing Note, two Healthcare Revenue Notes, four Senior Housing Development
Revenue Notes, and two Charter School Lease Revenue bonds outstanding. The aggregate amount of conduit debt as of

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
Note 4 OTHER INFORMATION
A. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions and natural disasters.
Property and casualty insurance is provided through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), a public
entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for Minnesota cities: general
liability, property, automobile, mobile property and marine, crime, employee dishonesty, boiler, and open meeting law.
The City pays an annual insurance premium to the LMCIT for its insurance coverage. The City is subject to
supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT. Currently, the LMCIT is self-sustaining through
member premiums and reinsures through commercial companies for claims in excess of various amounts. The City
retains risk for the deductible portions of the insurance policies. The amount of these deductibles is considered
immaterial to the financial statements.
Workers’ compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the LMCIT. The City
pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the
LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Workers’ Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA) as required by
law. For workers’ compensation, the City is not subject to a deductible. The City’s workers’ compensation is
retroactively rated. With this type of coverage, final premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The
amount of premium adjustment, if any, is considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of insurance
coverage for any of the past three years.
B. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
1. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
PLAN DESCRIPTION
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by defined benefit plans administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the General Employees
Retirement Fund (GERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) which are cost-sharing,
multiple-employer retirement plans. These plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356.
GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by
Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police
officers and fire-fighters who qualify for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
BENEFITS PROVIDED
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon death
of eligible members. Benefits are established by state statute, and vest after five years of credited service. The
defined retirement benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable
service, age, and years of credit at termination of service.
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring
member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (method 1) or a level accrual formula (method 2).
Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.20 percent of average salary for each of the
first 10 years of service and 2.70 percent for each remaining year. The annuity accrual for a Coordinated Plan member
is 1.20 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years, and 1.70 percent for each remaining year. Under
Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.70 percent of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.70 percent for
Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 3.00 percent for
each year of service. For all members hired prior to July 1, 1989 whose annuity is calculated using Method 1, a full
annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90. Normal retirement age is 55 for PEPFF members, and 65
for Basic and Coordinated members hired prior to July 1, 1989. Normal retirement age is the age for unreduced
Social Security benefits capped at 66 for Coordinated members hired on or after July 1, 1989. A reduced retirement
annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A single-life annuity is a lifetime annuity
that ceases upon the death of the retiree, of which no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of
joint and survivor annuity options available which will be payable of joint lives. Members may also leave their
contributions in the fund upon termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement
age. Refunds of contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement
benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to active
plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound
by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information for GERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained by writing to PERA, 60 Empire Drive Suite #200,
St. Paul, Minnesota, 55103-2088 or by calling (651) 296-7460 or 1-800-652-9026.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes are
established and amended by the state legislature. The City makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to
the amount required by state statutes. GERF Coordinated Plan members are required to contribute 6.25% of their
annual covered salary. PEPFF members are required to contribute 10.20% of their annual covered salary. The City is
required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll: 7.25% for Coordinated Plan GERF
members and 15.30% for PEPFF members. The City’s contributions to the General Employees Retirement Fund for
the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $531,385, $521,512, and $498,832, respectively. The
City’s contributions to the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013,
and 2012 were $600,402, $560,053, and $544,497, respectively. The City’s contributions were equal to the
contractually required contributions for each year as set by state statute
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
Effective January 1, 2015, GERF members will be required to contribute 6.50% and the City will be required to
contribute 7.50% of the respective employees annual covered salary. Also, effective on the same date, PEPFF members
will be required to contribute 10.80% and the City will be required to contribute 16.20% of the respective employees
annual covered salary.
2. PENSION PLAN – BROOKLYN CENTER FIRE DEPARTMENT RELIEF ASSOCIATION
PLAN DESCRIPTION
The City contributes to the Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association (the Association) which is the
administrator of a single employer, public employee defined benefit retirement system to provide a retirement plan
(the Plan) to volunteer firefighters of the City who are members of the Association. The Association is organized and
operates under the provisions of Minnesota State Statutes 424A, and provides benefits in accordance with those
statutes.
The Association provides retirement benefits to members and survivors, upon death of eligible members. Benefits are
established by the Association and approved by the City Council under the applicable statutes. The defined
retirement benefits are based on a member’s years of service. Vesting begins after the 10th year of service with a
60% benefit increasing to 100% after the 20th year of service.
Full benefits are available after 20 years of service by the member and having attained the age of 50. The current
benefit available is a lump sum distribution of $7,500 per year of service. Vested, terminated members who are
entitled to benefits but are not yet receiving them are bound by the provisions in effect at the time of termination of
membership.
The Association issues a financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for
the Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association. That report is available at the City of Brooklyn Center City
offices.
FUNDING POLICY
The City levies property taxes at the direction of and for the benefit of the Plan and passes through state aids
allocated to the Plan, all in accordance with enabling State statutes. The minimum tax levy obligation is the financial
contribution requirement for the year less anticipated state aids.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Total contributions to the plan in 2014 were $140,216, of which the City contributed $6,471, and the remaining, $133,745
was contributed by the State of Minnesota. The actual contribution was in excess of the contribution determined by an
actuarial valuation, which was $101,453. That actuarial valuation was performed at January 1, 2013, and represents
funding for normal cost.

C. OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
PLAN DESCRIPTION
In addition to providing the pension benefits described in Note 4.B., the City provides postemployment health care
benefits for retired employees and police disabled in the line of duty, through a single-employer defined benefit plan
administered by the City. The authority to provide these benefits is established in Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.61
subd. 2a. and 299A.465. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and employer contributions are governed
by the City and can be amended by the City through its personnel manual and collective bargaining agreements with
employee groups. The Plan is not accounted for as a trust fund, as an irrevocable trust has not been established to
account for the Plan. The Plan does not issue a separate report.
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
BENEFITS PROVIDED
Retirees
The City is required by State Statute to allow retirees to continue participation in the City’s group health insurance plan
if the individual terminates service with the City through service retirement or disability retirement. Former employees
who are receiving, or who have met age and service requirements to receive, an annuity from a Minnesota public
pension plan and those receiving a disability benefit from such a plan are immediately eligible to participate in this Plan.
Retirees may obtain dependent coverage if the employee received dependent coverage immediately before leaving
employment. Covered spouses may continue coverage after the death of a retiree. In addition, the surviving spouse of
an active employee may continue coverage in the group health insurance plan after the employee’s death.
All health care coverage is provided through the City’s group health insurance plans. The retiree is required to pay the
premium as described below:
Employees hired before January 1, 1992 with continuous full-time employment
Employees who, on the date of their retirement, meet eligibility requirement for a full retirement annuity under PERA or
PERA Police without reduction of benefits because of age, disability, or any other reason for reduction shall be eligible
for the City to pay 100% of the single-person premium until such time as the retiree is eligible for Medicare or at age
65, whichever is sooner. If the retiree desires to continue coverage in excess of single coverage, the additional cost for
the coverage shall be paid to the City by the retiree on a monthly basis.
Employees hired after January 1, 1992
The retiree is required to pay 100% of their premium cost for the City-sponsored group health insurance plan in which
they participate.
The premium is a blended rate determined on the entire active and retiree population. Since the projected claims costs
for retirees exceed the blended premium paid by retirees, they are receiving an implicit rate subsidy (benefit). The
coverage levels are the same as those afforded to active employees.
Disabled police and firefighter
The City is required to continue to pay the employer’s contribution toward health coverage for police or firefighters
disabled in the line of duty per Minnesota Statute 299A.465, until age 65. Dependent coverage is included, if the
dependents were covered at the time of the disability.
PARTICIPANTS
As of the actuarial valuation dated January 1, 2014, participants consisted of:

FUNDING POLICY
The additional cost of using a blended rate for actives and retirees is currently funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The
City Council may change the funding policy at any time.
ANNUAL OPEB COSTS AND NET OPEB OBLIGATION
The City’s annual other post-employment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution
(ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No.
45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each
year and amortize any unfunded actuarial obligation (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The net
OPEB obligation as of December 31, 2014 was calculated as follows:

FUNDED STATUS AND FUNDING PROGRESS
The City currently has no assets that have been irrevocably deposited into a trust for future benefits; therefore, the
actuarial value of assets is zero. Instead of depositing funds into an irrevocable trust, the City has chosen to
accumulate funding into an internal service fund. The cash and investment balance of the internal service fund
is $675,036 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The funded status of the plan was as follows:

ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the
probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment,
mortality, and the health care cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funding status of the plan and the annual
required contribution of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past
expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required
supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information that
shows whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial
accrued liabilities for benefits.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical
pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and
assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effect of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued
liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the January 1, 2014 actuarial valuation, the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost was used. The actuarial assumptions
included a 4.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and an initial annual health care cost trend
rate of 9.0% reduced by 0.33% each year to arrive at an ultimate health care cost trend rate of 5.0%. Both rates
include a 3.0% inflation assumption. The actuarial value of assets is $0, however the City does have $675,036 of funds
accumulated in an internal service fund. The plans' unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as of the
valuation date with a payroll growth rate of 3.75% over 30 years on an open basis.
D. ARBITRAGE REBATE
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires governmental entities to pay to the federal government income earned on the
proceeds from the issuance of debt in excess of interest costs, pending the expenditure of the borrowed funds. This
rebate of interest income (known as arbitrage) applies to governmental debt issued after August 31, 1986.
The City issued greater than $5 million of bonds in 2004 and therefore is required to rebate excess investment income
relating to these issues to the federal government. The extent of the City’s liability for arbitrage rebates on the
remaining bond issues is not determinable at this time. However, in the opinion of management, any such liability would
be immaterial.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
E. LITIGATION
The City is subject to certain legal claims in the normal course of business. Management does not expect the resolution
of these claims will have a material impact on the City’s financial condition or results of operations.
F. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Tax Increment Notes
In May 2002, the City entered into two limited tax increment notes with developers whereby the City will pay the
developers a percentage of the available tax increment. Whether payments will occur and the amount of the payments
is unpredictable since all payments are dependent on the City receiving tax increment revenues from the developer’s
project. As such, this liability has not been recorded in the financial statements. Any potential liability ends with the
decertification of the tax increment district.
In December 2012, the City entered into a tax increment revenue note with a developer whereby the City will pay the
developer the available tax increments as defined in the Tax Increment Development Agreement. Whether payments
will occur and the amount of the payments is unpredictable since all payments are dependent on the City receiving tax
increment revenues from the developer’s project. As such, this liability has not been recorded in the financial
statements. Any potential liability ends with the decertification of the tax increment district.
A schedule of the notes outstanding at December 31, 2014 is as follows:

for general services and application upgrades provided. Costs were allocated to the various funds based on applications
and/or use of services. Complete financial statements for LOGIS may be obtained at the LOGIS offices located at

)
The Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association (the Association
The Association is organized as a nonprofit organization, legally separate from the City, by its members to provide
pension and other benefits to members in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. Its board of directors is elected by the
membership of the Association and not by the City Council. The Association issues its own set of financial statements.
All funding is conducted in accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, whereby state aids flow to the Association,
tax levies are determined by the Association and are only reviewed by the City. The Association pays benefits directly
to its members. The Association may certify tax levies to Hennepin County directly if the City does not carry out this
function. Because the Association is fiscally independent of the City, the financial information of the Association has
not been included within the City’s financial statements. (See Note 4.B.2. for disclosures relating to the pension plan
operated by the Association.) Complete financial statements for the Association may be obtained at the City offices
located at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430.
H. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 21, 2015, the City issued a Taxable General Obligation Water Revenue Note. The note was issued by the
Minnesota Public Facilities Authority to finance the construction of water treatment plant. Total funding available from this
note is $19,662,352, and bears an interest rate of 1.00%. Repayment of the note will be made semi-annually in February
and August annually, with the first interest payment due in August 2015, and the first principal payment due in August 2016.
The final maturity of the note will be in August 2034. The note will be repaid with increases on user rates within the Water
Utility fund, with those rate increases becoming effective April 1, 2015. The note is backed by the full faith and credit of
the City.
As of December 31, 2014, the City had not drawn down any of these funds, however the City had incurred expenses for
the construction of the water treatment plant. The City received its first reimbursement, on January 30, 2015, in the amount

Sources: The remaining data for this table was provided by Anoka County and School District No. 11.
Note: More detailed information for the City's outstanding debt can be viewed in table 10 of the statistical section.
Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. The schedule
estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of
the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt
burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a
resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
Note: The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using tax capacity values. Applicable percentages were estimated
by determining the the portion of each entity's tax capacity that is within the City's boundaries, and dividing it by the entity's
total tax capacity.
