2016 Brooklyn Center Department Budget Narrative by Fund
Department Name: Fiscal & Support Services
Department/Division Mission:
To provide accurate and timely information to all users of financial information and to provide
administrative and professional support in financial matters to all departments and divisions of the City.
Department/Division Description:
In the General Fund, the Finance Division of the Department assembles and processes documents which
facilitate the daily financial operations of the City. The Finance Division oversees the administration of
claims and risk management for the property and casualty portion of the City’s insurance program. The
Division manages investments of City funds as well as issuance and repayment of debt obligations of the
City.
The Utility Billing Division acquires and processes data which allow for the billing and collection of
revenues for the City’s five utilities.
Key Initiatives focused on the achievement of strategic priorities/value propositions
Resident Economic Stability
Maintain a positive financial position with a long term perspective
In 2016 we will continue to implement long-term forecasting. This includes updating our future cash
flow assumptions based on current information and review of potential financing options. An analysis
will include reviewing the impact of projected new debt issuances on the property tax levy and utility
rates.
Fiscal responsibility
In 2016 we will strive to maximize investment returns while maintaining appropriate levels of risk for the
size and structure of the City’s investment portfolio. This will include a more detailed analysis on current
and future City cash flows.
Value continuous improvement and innovation
In 2016 we will implement DocuSphere software, which will provide an automated workflow process for
accounts payable. The software will allow finance staff to locate invoices/documents at all steps of the
process, increase timeliness of invoice processing, eliminate duplicated processes and reduce manual data
entry.
Enhance the customer experience
We will continue to improve the experience of our utility billing customers. We will implement Invoice
Cloud utility billing payment acceptance software allowing additional convenient and secure methods of
payments online and through an automated phone system. In 2016, we will continue to build awareness of
these additional payment options and product features.

2016 Brooklyn Center Department Budget Narrative by Fund
Department Name: Community Activities, Recreation & Services
Division Mission:
The mission of the Recreation and Community Center Divisions is to create a sense of community and
enrich the quality of life for our residents, patrons and employees by providing a variety of high quality,
inclusive programs and services.
The mission of the Government Buildings Division is to provide quality, efficient service that results in
safe, clean and healthy environments for people to work and recreate.
Division Description:
The Community Activities, Recreation and Services Department is comprised of the Government
Buildings, Recreation and Community Center Divisions. These Divisions provide for the provision of
maintenance and custodial functions for City-owned buildings, development and implementation of
organized recreational activities, operation of the Community Center and swimming pool.
The Department is also responsible for the operation of Centerbrook Golf Course and the Earle Brown
Heritage Center conference and events facility. However, these operations are further identified in their
respective Enterprise Fund accounts.
Key Initiatives focused on the achievement of strategic priorities/value propositions
Strengthened and Empowered Youth
Mobile Recreation Initiative
This initiative will be a completely new line of recreation programming in 2016. Instead of hosting a
program at a designated site, we will bring the programming out into the community. We will match
program locations to areas with a high density of youth, ensuring the most critical areas of the community
are served.
We will begin the program with four sites in 2016 and expand to eight sites in 2017.
Inclusive Community Engagement
Amphitheater Programming
The new Centennial, Civic & Veterans Memorial Amphitheater was completed in late 2015. The
2016/2017 budget includes an allocation for a full slate of entertainment events for 2016 and 2017.

Capital Outlay and Other Initiatives with Significant Budget Impact (optional)
$242,623.85 for the replacement of the department’s Self Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA). The SCBA’s will need to be replaced by 2018; therefore this is a placeholder to
recognize funds will be required to purchase new ones in 2018. This amount is provided
through a lease to own program over a 5 year period at a cost of $48,524.77.
$146,000 for the replacement of the department’s mobile and portable radios. Requesting
funding of $48,667 over the next 3 yrs. Hennepin County Dispatch will no longer support
the radios the department currently possesses after 2018. Additionally Motorola no longer
produces this model therefore parts for repair will become significantly more difficult to
find over time.
