Brooklyn Center
Financial Advisory Commission
Rex Newman, Chair
April 2016
Annual Budgets: Government
•We work with Mayor, City Council, City Manager and Staff to set overall budgets and the resulting property tax levy.
–Meet in joint sessions about six times in the second half of the year.
–Begin with budget targets by area to meet overall city goals and objectives.
–Balance those needs with available revenues, including property tax increases.
•As with any other Advisory Commission, the Mayor and Council make all the final decisions.
Annual Budget: Utilities
•Your water bill funds several services, primarily:
–Water
–Sanitary sewer
–Storm sewer
•Each has an account to help pay for capital costs such as
the new water treatment plant.
•Utility rates are set accordingly - and smoothly year to
year.
•Our rates continue to be comparable to other cities.
•Again, the Mayor and Council make all the final decisions.
Annual Budgets: Enterprises
•Brooklyn Center has three Enterprise funds:
–Centerbrook Golf Course
–Municipal Liquor Stores
–Earle Brown Heritage Center
•These operations are reviewed during the
budget cycle.
•The Financial Commission independently has
evaluated their long term situation.
Annual Budgets: Capital Projects
•The City of Brooklyn Center owns and manages about a billion dollar infrastructure.
•Millions of dollars in capital projects are needed to maintain it.
•Effective use of bonded debt smooths the budget and tax effects.
•This is also reviewed during the annual budget cycle.
•Significant improvements in this process have been made, resulting in a comprehensive plan for at least the next 15 years.
Annual Budget: Summary
•Total Budget: $ 19.8 million
–Police & Fire: $ 9.3 million
–Public Works: $ 4.6 million
•Property tax: $ 15.7 million
