Financial Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
June 4, 2015
1. Call to Order
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Mr. Landis at 6:36 PM
Members Present: Commissioners Landis, Van Der Werf, Burke, Schueller, and
Newman (arrived 6:42pm).
Members Absent: Commissioner Schulz, Commissioner Kragness.
Council Liaison Myszkowski was present.
Staff present was Finance Director Reinhardt.
2. Adoption of the Agenda
Mr. Landis moved adoption of the June 4th, 2015 agenda. With no objection, the
agenda was adopted.
3. Minutes
Mr. Landis moved adoption of the minutes from the April 16th, 2015 meeting. With
no objection, the motion was adopted.
4. Part-time Employee Discussion
Chairperson Landis reviewed the memo and information compiled by City staff
regarding the topic of part-time employees. The City currently has 17 part-time
employees in the areas of CARS, EBHC, BC Liquor and Community Service Officers
that averaged more than 20 hours per week. Each of these areas will require
different consideration based on their individual circumstances. The Commission
discussed that the City of Brooklyn Center was not unique and that many
organizations have reduced the hours of part-time employees in order to comply
with the definition of part-time employees established with the health care reform
law.
The cost per employee to add benefits is approximately $14k - $15k. The
Commission believes that adding benefited positions would be positive for the
workplace, increase productivity and provide the employees with appropriate
benefits for BC Liquor staff and possibly EBHC maintenance workers and Community
Service Officers. The Commission discussed the possibility of including the topic as
part of a work session with City Council or incorporating within the budget process.
Mr. Newman made a motion to approve a recommendation to provide the City with
direction to consider the creation of full-time positions from existing part-time
2
positions. The motion was seconded by Ms. Burke. With all voting in favor, the
motion was approved.
5. Centerbrook Golf Course Discussion
Chairperson Landis reviewed his concerns of the financial performance of the golf
course and the steady decline of rounds of golf and overall interest in the sport of
golf.
The Commission decided that a further consideration of the continued investment
into the golf course with declining use should be further reviewed to determine if it’s
the best use of the property for the whole community.
The Commission asked the agenda topic be added to a future Financial Commission
meeting and to see if the CARS Director would be available to discuss.
6. Other Business
Future Meeting Dates
Work Session w/City Council: Capital Improvement Plan – Monday, July 6th @
6:30pm

With no other business to transact, Mr. Landis adjourned the meeting at 8:03 PM.

Financial Commission Agenda Item No. 6
Memorandum
Date: June 16, 2016
To: Financial Commission
From: Nathan Reinhardt, Finance Director
Re: City Council Compensation for 2017 and 2018
Every two years it is the responsibility of the Financial Commission to review the
City Council’s compensation and recommend a compensation level for the
upcoming two years. The review and recommendation was last provided in
2014. The Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Manager
to present to the City Council.
In the City Council Code of Policies, Section 2.05 deals with City Council
compensation, a copy of that section has been included with this memo. The
Finance department has compiled a table of comparative compensation numbers
for the City Councils named in the policy.
In previous Commission reviews of Council compensation the goal of the
recommendation has been to keep Brooklyn Center’s City Council compensation
at or above the average of the comparison cities. The comparison chart
indicates the average levels for both the Mayor and Council Members for the past
six years.
