SOUTH LAKE MINNETONKA POLICE DEPARTMENT
OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED 2001 BUDGET
By - Chief Bryan Litsey
This is my second year of preparing a budget for our organization. I was pleased with the
outcome of the 2000 budget I prepared last year and thus have used this as a model in
preparing the 2001 budget this year. You will notice, however, that some of the line
items have changed for 200 I in order to reflect the revisions made in the chart of
accounts that occurred during our conversion from a manual to a computerized
bookkeeping system. In some cases, therefore, the increase and decrease in categories are
merely a regrouping of accounts. In preparing the 2001 budget, I have taken into account
historical and future trends along with the needs of our organization in trying to
accurately reflect the true costs. Included with my line item spreadsheets of anticipated
expenses and revenues there is a corresponding narrative which summarizes each
category. In addition, I have highlighted in the following paragraphs some comments I
would like to make concerning this budget proposal.
This budget, and the budget I prepared last year, reflect the need for increased staffing
that went unresolved prior to my assuming the role of Chief of Police. In addition, the
past practice at budget time has been to offset known operational increases in the budget
using money in reserve. This practice, in the long-term, defeats the purpose of having a
contingency fund and only delays future increases that will be much more sizeable once
the reserves have been depleted. It also leaves the organization with few options in the
event of needed capital improvements or unknown operational costs that cannot be
absorbed in the budget. The 2000 and 2001 budget cycles, therefore, are catch up years
in terms of helping to bring our organization up to adequate staffing and funding levels
without a sizable reliance on reserve funds for known operational expenses in the budget.
During the 2000 budget process, the need by all four cities for an additional officer was
clearly demonstrated through the comparison chart that was prepared showing the ratio of
residents to officers between our police department and neighboring law enforcement
agencies. See attached documentation from 2000 budget. In addition, our number of
Initial Complaint Reports (ICR's) were among the highest, although it is hard to compare
these figures since each agency tracks them differently. When I prepared and presented
the 2000 budget, there were discussions that it did not go far enough in terms of increased
PAGE 2 - CHIEF'S NARRATIVE FOR 2001 BUDGET PROPOSAL
staffmg. I felt at the time, however, it was a significant step forward that could be
reevaluated when I prepared the 2001 budget. I have now done that and have concluded
our staffmg levels could still use a boost based on an analysis of internal operations.
Several factors which stand out in terms of justification are the ratio of residents to
officers still being on the high side, ICR's surpassing the 20,000 mark and the ever
increasing demands on our clerical staff. See attached historical chart offeR's. It is
important to note that our organization not only has the traditional demands of other
police departments, but also the added responsibilities that go with being a separate unit
of government under a joint powers agreement. This means having to manage and absorb
the costs associated with such things as finances, payroll, personnel and building
maintenance, which for most police departments is handled by other divisions in city
government. Therefore, when doing a staffing and cost comparison between our
organization and other law enforcement agencies, these added responsibilities need to be
taken into consideration. I feel a good way to continue my efforts in 2001 to lighten the
load on our personnel, while minimizing the impact to the budget, is the addition of a
part-time Community Service Officer (CSO) and possibly a Canine Unit (K-9). This
would be a cost-effective way to help ease part of the workload on both the officers and
clerical staff. I talk in more detail about both these proposals in ensuing paragraphs.
This budget is no different from previous budgets in that the largest expense is for
salaries and benefits for personnel. It is more difficult to determine these costs in a
negotiation year for union employees, with 2001 being one of those years. The current
union contract lasts until the end of 2000 and no substantive talks will likely get
underway until late summer or early fall. In addition, none of the salaries and benefits for
non-union employees have been finalized for 2001. Therefore, the calculations for salary
and benefits in my 2001 budget proposal are based on projected increases. Any cost
overruns will be absorbed by using the Contingency IUndesignated Fund. The full effect
of rolling over the Shorewood Community Policing Officer into our regular complement
of officers will be realized in 2001. This added cost to our regular budget has been eased
somewhat by the departure of several longer-term employees and the lower pay rate of
their replacements. Although this cost will eventually level out, it has helped lessen the
initial impact. Another significant factor affecting this portion of the budget is the
escalating cost of medical insurance for employees. Like many cities, our police
department is part of the LOGIS Group for health insurance. In talking to our group
representative, we have been told to budget for an increase of 15 percent in 2001.
The need has existed for quite some time for a Community Service Officer (CSO) to be
part of our civilian staff. In fact, our police department is the exception rather than the
rule for not having such a position. Having a eso would lessen the workload on our
PAGE 3 - CHIEF'S NARRATIVE FOR 2001 BUDGET PROPOSAL
licensed police officers, who often times get bogged down in details that could be easily
handled by civilian personnel. Some examples of this would be parking complaints,
maintenance of equipment, crime prevention requests and public relations. In addition, a
CSO could help the support staff with a variety of clerical duties. At the present time, we
are relying on reserve officers and regular officers to perform some of these functions.
The use of reserve officers is not a dependable source, since there is more of a turnover in
their ranks and they have other jobs. I am proposing in my 2001 budget, therefore, the
addition of a part-time civilian CSO position averaging 20 hours per week. There is the
possibility that some additional funding could be obtained through a grant program to
make this a full-time position. If this occurred, then the money set aside in the budget to
fund this part-time position could be used to satisfy any local matching fund requirement
of a grant. The job description for this position would be as previously stated. It would
not include animal control, which if assumed by our agency at some point in time would
require a much greater allocation of money, resources and personnel. The current
arrangement for animal control through the Orono Police Department has been working
out satisfactorily.
I have been giving serious consideration to adding a canine program (K-9) in 2001. In a
smaller police department such as ours the opportunity for an officer to specialize in one
particular area is somewhat limited. Having a K-9 would certainly add ajob enrichment
opportunity to our organization. Just as important, however, is the added dimension a
K-9 would bring to our police department. It is quite amazing what a K-9 can contribute
in terms of officer safety, tracking of suspects and lost children, building searches, drug
interdictiop and public relations. K -9 programs are valuable in all size law enforcement
agencies, but in some ways, smaller law enforcement agencies probably gain the most.
The Mound Police Department, which is smaller than our organization, recently
implemented a K-9 program with much community support. As in Mound, I am
confident the initial start-up costs for the dog, training and equipment could be secured
through outside funding sources. I am also hopeful that some of the ongoing costs will be
covered through this manner as well. Therefore, the costs born by our police department
would be minimal other than possibly having to retain an additional squad as part of our
fleet and the time spent by the officer in training. I would not implement such a program
if considerable outside funding could not be obtained.
I have included additional money in this budget request for a third patrol sergeant
position. This would not increase the number of overall officers, but would allow for
another advancement opportunity within our organization. The benefits are numerous in
that it would help with career development as well as the retention of officers, while at
the same time give additional supervision in the field. It would also help free up the
PAGE 4 - CHIEF'S NARRATIVE FOR 2001 BUDGET PROPOSAL
Deputy ehief position for more administrative duties rather than the current situation of
being sidetracked with routine patrol duties. This, in turn, would help free up some of
my time for other matters and lessen my extensive workload. The cost of this
organizational change would be minimal in terms of the budget.
Space is at a premium right now at our police station. I have done an analysis of how our
existing space can be better utilized. The short-term solution seems to be converting the
exercise room to a work/storage area for the officers. I anticipate using money in reserve
for accomplishing this remodeling project. The exercise room is not being utilized on a
regular basis by the majority of officers, who have opted to maintain their fitness through
other means. In addition, I have some safety and workers' compensation concerns with
the exercise room being unsupervised. Taking all these factors into account, I feel this
space could be put to better use at the present time. This is not to minimize the
importance of officers being physically fit as evidenced by the department having an
incentive program for physical fitness. The support of the department in this area can
still be maintained by paying a portion of the membership fee to a health club for those
officers committed to using such a facility on a regular basis. This could be one of the
things negotiated with the officers in their next union contract or implemented separately
as a matter of department policy. Either way, I would recommend that in order to be
eligible for reimbursement the health club would have to be approved by the chief and
there would be a minimum expectation as far as the number of times the participant
would have to use the health club in a year.
I will continue in 2001 to pursue outside sources of funding as well as to effectively
manage our expenses and revenues to build upon my efforts begun in 2000 to upgrade our
technology, equipment and facility. This has been a challenge when it comes to
preparing a budget, since at the same time I have been trying to increase our staffing
levels to meet the needs of the community and provide more competitive compensation in
order to retain good personnel. This has meant having to fine-tune the budget in a
number of areas in order to increase the budget in other areas. Even though the net effect
has been increases above the rate of inflation, the costs have not been excessive given
what has been and will be achieved. I feel my 2001 budget is a reasonable request and, in
fact, probably errs on the side of being too lean. Nevertheless, I would feel comfortable
with this budget proposal if left intact.

SOUTH LAKE MINNETONKA POLICE DEPARTMENT
LINE ITEM NARRATIVE FOR 2001 BUDGET REQUEST
ANTICIPATED EXPENSES
50100 - SALARIES - FULL-TIME - $793,000
This line item includes full-time salaries for union and non-union positions. The costs in
this category are based upon salaries in 2000 plus projected increases, since the salaries
for 2001 have not been established. This category also reflects a cost carryover from the
2000 budget when the Shorewood Community Policing position was phased into our
regular complement of officers. Any increases beyond these projections due to contract
settlements will be absorbed through a transfer from the Contingency/Undesignated Fund.
50200 - SALARIES - OVERTIME - $57,500
This line item includes estimates for overtime incurred during the regular course of
business as well as holidays, court appearances, school programs, security details and
increased traffic enforcement in Shorewood. There is an offset in the anticipated income
section for reimbursement from the cities for court overtime, reimbursement from the
school district for school programs, reimbursement from varying sources for special
policing requests and reimbursement from Shorewood for increased traffic enforcement.
It should be noted Shorewood now allocates additional money in their budget to offset the
impact of eliminating the Shorewood Community Policing Officer during the first quarter
of 2000.
50300 - SALARIES - PART-TIME - $69,000
This line item includes salaries for part-time clerical personnel as well as the newly
created position of Community Service Officer (CSO). It also includes the seasonal
part-time positions in Excelsior for Park Patrol and Dockmaster. The ever increasing
demand on our clerical staffhas made these part-time positions essential, with more and
more responsibilities placed on them each year. The addition of a CSO position will
lessen the workload on our police officers and aid the clerical staff. Our police
PAGE 2 - ANTICIPATED EXPENSES FOR 2001 BUDGET
department will continue to oversee the positions of Park Patrol and Dockmaster. These
are seasonal part-time positions with reimbursement from Excelsior shown under
anticipated income.
50500 - SOCIAL SECURITYIMEDICARE - $13,000
This line item includes the employer's contribution for those employees eligible for
Social Security and Medicare. There is a partial offset in the anticipated income section
from the City of Excelsior for Park Patrol and Dockmaster personnel.
50600 - PERA PENSION - $80,000
This line item includes the employer's contribution for those employees eligible for the
Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERA). It should be noted the PERA Police & Fire
Fund had a rate reduction for both the employee and employer as a result of the 1999
Minnesota Legislature. This went into effect as of July 1, 1999 and lowered the
employee rate from 7.6% to 6.2% and lowered the employer rate from 11.4% to 9.3%.
This has limited impact on the budget, since our police department receives State Aid to
offset a portion of our contribution to the PERA Police & Fire Fund. The expected State
Aid reimbursement is shown as a revenue item under anticipated income. There is also
reimbursement from the cities for PERA paid out in court overtime.
50700 - INSURANCE BENEFITS - $80,000
This line item includes health and life insurance costs for qualifying personnel. The most
significant cost in this category is for medical insurance obtained through the LOGIS
Health Care Group. It is hard to determine at this early stage what the increase will be in
2001, but a LOGIS representative recommended budgeting for an increase of 15 percent.
More definitive rates will not be available until September of2000. There is a significant
increase in this category.
51000 - CONTRACT SERVICES - $8,400
This line item includes the annual audit, legal counsel and interpreter service for the
department. It also includes medical and psychological examinations as well as
background checks for new hire(s). This category previously included an expense for
outsourcing payroll, but payroll has been brought back in-house using a computer
software program. The cost of the medical examinations for new officer hire(s) has
increased due to rising medical costs and the recent addition of drug screening to our
PAGE 3 - ANTICIPATED EXPENSES FOR 2001 BUDGET
protocol. The only predictable expense under this category is the annual audit, with the
other items subject to fluctuation depending on the need. Please note this is a volatile
category, especially since unanticipated legal assistance could send costs soaring.
52100 - EQUIPMENT LEASES - $16,700
This line item covers the costs associated with lease/maintenance agreements for
communications, criminal justice information system, pagers, copier/fax machine,
postage meter and high speed Internet connection. The largest expense in this category is
our lease/maintenance agreement with Hennepin County for communications equipment.
The cost is based on an amortization schedule, with the billing done annually. This cost
will increase dramatically when the new 800 MHz communications system and other
upgrades are implemented in Hennepin County. These are projected to take place in
2002. Our department has a special fund set aside to help ease a portion of this financial
impact. The other costs in this category reflect the charge assessed by the State of
Minnesota for our computer link to the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS), our
lease of pagers through TSR Wireless, our recently renegotiated lease through Ikon
Office Solutions for a state of the art copier/fax and our recently negotiated lease for a
Y2K compliant postage meter through Francotyp-Postalia, Inc. In addition, a cost
estimate has been included in this category for a high speed Internet connection. Several
options are being considered through the state and private vendors. This cost estimate is
based on a quote received through a private vendor for a DSL connection to our police
station. This accounts for a majority of the increase in this category.
52200 - REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE - $27,500
This line item covers the repair of vehicles, repair/replacement of office equipment and
furniture, building maintenance and computer maintenance contracts. It also includes
miscellaneous expenses such as the calibration of truck scales and speed measuring
devices, upkeep of security and fire systems and repairs of communication equipment
(radios, pagers, cellular phones, etc.). The largest expense in this category is the
maintenance of vehicles, which by the very nature of the job receive hard use. Other
significant expenses in this category are the repair and replacement of inoperable or
obsolete office furniture and equipment, computer services and repairs to our aging police
station. One way of controlling costs in this category has been the implementation of
regular maintenance programs. This category includes service agreements for our
computer system, new record keeping software and building power plants (heating &
cooling systems).
PAGE 4 - ANTICIPATED EXPENSES FOR 2001 BUDGET
52300 - UTILITIES - $19,500
This line item includes office and cellular phones, electricity, natural gas, water and
sewer, waste removal and alarm service. Rates associated with electricity and natural gas
are expected to increase in 2001 based on preliminary projections. Cellular phone costs
were reduced in 2000 due to some fine-tuning of our service plan.
52400 - JANITORIAL & CARPET CLEANING - $5,700
This line item includes janitorial services and carpet cleaning for the interior of the police
station. There was a $25 per month rate increase in 2000 for janitorial services, which
the provider guaranteed for three years. Therefore, there is no increase in janitorial .
services. This category also includes cleaning of the carpet once a year, which is usually
done after the winter season.
52500 - PRINTING AND PUBLISHING - $5,200
This line item covers the expenses associated with stationary, report forms, warnings, and
citations as well as professional & legal publications. There is a continual need to update
and create new forms due to various mandates and changes in the laws. There is also a
need in our profession to purchase updated legal documents.
52800 - CARE OF PERSONS - $100
This line items covers the incidental expenses of caring for prisoners in police custody.
This is rarely used, since most prisoners are usually booked in jail or released relatively
quickly. This category is also used to track booking fees which are offset through
reimbursement from the cities.
53000 - SUPPLIES - $34,500
This comprehensive line item includes a variety of expenses for vehicle supplies and
registration fees, motor fuel, school educational materials, ammunition, first aid supplies,
batteries, video/cassette tapes, film, drug testing kits, hardware, office supplies and other
miscellaneous items required for department operations. The most significant cost item
in this category is motor fuel, which remained fairly stable until prices started to escalate
during the first half of 2000. Therefore, some additional expenses have been included in
category .
PAGE 5 - ANTICIPATED EXPENSES FOR 2001 BUDGET
54000 - UNIFORMS - $9,000
This line item includes uniforms and duty gear for department personnel. The cost of
these items seems to escalate each year regardless of the vendor. In addition, this
category was expanded in 2000 to include uniform expenses for the office staff, which
gives them a more professional appearance and clearly identifies their police affiliation.
This category is rather volatile in that unanticipated expenses to outfit new officer( s) can
be quite costly. The outfitting of one new officer has been included for 2001. There is
an offset in the anticipated income section for the costs of uniforms and gear for Park
Patrol and Dockmaster, which is reimbursed by the City of Excelsior.
54500 - TRAINING AND CONFERENCES - $10,000
This line item covers the costs associated with sending department personnel to mandated
and elective training as well as law enforcement conferences. The cost is even more
when new officers are hired, since they need additional training the first several years.
The importance of providing quality training, however, cannot be underestimated in terms
of enhancing the skill level and professionalism of employees as well as reducing the risk
of libelist action against the department. Although the cost of training is significant, this
amount is minimal in comparison to a civil suit. There is a partial offset in the
anticipated income section for training reimbursement received through the state.
55000 - BUILDING RENT - $38,400
This line item includes rent of the police station, which is actually a lease to own
agreement with the City of Excelsior through a twenty-four year amortization schedule.
The annual cost remains constant until 2013, when this obligation is paid in full.
56000 - INSURANCE - $40,000
This line item has remained fairly consistent over the past few years and covers insurance
costs associated with workers' compensation, general liability , vehicles and professional
liability. The amount allocated in this category will be transferred to the Designated
Insurance Fund. There is a slight reduction in the amount being requested to help offset
some of the other added increases in the budget.
56100 - SUBSCRIPTIONS & MEMBERSHIPS - $3,900
This line item includes subscriptions to journals as well as organizational and health club
PAGE 6 - ANTICIPATED EXPENSES FOR 2001 BUDGET
memberships. There was an added expense to this category starting in 2000 due to the
contractual requirement that the department pay for Peace Officer Licenses, which is
done on a three-year cycle depending on the last name of the officer. In addition, partial
reimbursement to officers for health club memberships has been included for 2001. This
reinforces the incentive for officers to stay physically fit.
57000 - SPECIAL PROJECTS - $9,650
This line item includes our annual contribution to the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force,
which is funded by member law enforcement agencies along with federal grant money
administered through the state. It also includes our subscriber fee for CornerHouse,
which is a sexual abuse evaluation center for child victims. There is no anticipated
increase forthcoming from either the Drug Task Force or CornerHouse.
58000 - CAPITAL OUTLAY - $51,300
This line item includes the anticipated cost of two police vehicles along with set up fees
and equipment. This is part of the ongoing replacement schedule for our fleet. The
amount allocated for this purpose will be transferred into the Designated Vehicle Fund.
This category also supplements the Designated Furniture and Equipment Fund, which is
used for major projects associated with the purchase and replacement of equipment. This
fund was nearly depleted in 1999 in order to cover the costs associated with making our
computer system and record keeping software Y2K compliant. Since that time, this fund
has rebounded through internal fund transfers of favorable revenues. Therefore, only a
minimal amount has been budgeted for this fund in 2001. This will be helpful in
offsetting some of the other increased expenses requested in the budget.

LINE ITEM NARRATIVE FOR 2001 BUDGET REQUEST
ANTICIPATED REVENUES
(Excluding Cities Contributions)
40110 - COURT OVERTIME - $5,000
Each of the four cities served by our police department pays the actual overtime costs of
an officer having to make a court appearance for an incident that occurred in their
respective city. This varies from year to year and thus the above figure is only an
estimate based upon an historical average.
40120 - EXCELSIOR PARK PATROL & DOCKMASTER - $19,000
The above figure represents the anticipated amount budgeted by the City of Excelsior for
the seasonal positions of Park Patrol and Dockmaster, which are administered through our
police department. The actual amount used will vary, but there is no adverse impact on
our budget since all the costs are covered by the City of Excelsior.
40130 - SHOREWOOD SPECIAL DETAILS - $15,000
This is a direct reimbursement from the City of Shorewood for costs associated with
having officers work special details in Shorewood on an overtime basis. This fund was
created by the City of Shorewood to offset the impact of the Shorewood Community
Policing position being eliminated and rolled over into our regular complement of officers
in 2000. This money is allocated primarily for increased levels of traffic enforcement,
including snowmobile patrols.
42100 - STATE PEACE OFFICER AID - $80,000
This reimbursement through the Minnesota Department of Revenue lags one year behind
and is designated to offset the employer's contribution to the Public Employment
Retirement Association (PERA) Police & Fire Fund. There is no definitive answer at this
point as to how the PERA rate reductions for both the employer and employee will affect
PAGE 2 - ANTICIPATED REVENUES FOR 2001 BUDGET REQUEST
the amount of this reimbursement. The suggestion in the past by the Department of
Revenue was to go by the amount last received, which was $83,829 for 1999. I would
like to take a more conservative approach, however, and have calculated this category
slightly less.
42200 - STATE TRAINING REIMBURSEMENT - $4,400
The State of Minnesota provides partial reimbursement for the continuing education of
police officers. In 2000, additional money was appropriated for the training of police
officers in pursuit and emergency vehicle operations. The above figure represents an
estimate of what our police department should receive based on 14 full-time officers.
This can change, however, depending on legislative action from year to year.
42300 - EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - $4,400
There is a local aid program administered through Hennepin County that provides
funding for emergency preparedness activities. The amount above reflects the anticipated
portion our police department will receive in 2001, which has remained constant the past
several years.
43100 - MINNETONKA SCHOOL DISTRICT - $6,800
The Minnetonka School District provides these funds for police liaison and educational
services in the schools. The majority of this money is used to fund our CounterAct
Program in the Elementary Schools.
43200 - COPIES OF DOCUMENTS, PHOTOS & TAPES - $3,000
This is the anticipated revenue from public data requests for copies of documents as well
as audio and video tapes. This category also includes revenue from fingerprint requests
for employment purposes and other non-criminal matters.
43400 - SECURITY DETAILS - $4,000
This category includes requests for security details over and above our normal level of
service. These requests are administered by our police department at a set fee and
officers working these details are paid on an overtime basis. The number of requests vary
from year to year, but have been on the increase. The amount in this category is subject
PAGE 3 - ANTICIPATED REVENUES FOR 2001 BUDGET REQUEST
to fluctuation, but there is no adverse effect on the budget since costs are reimbursed.
44000 - INVESTMENT INCOME - $12,500
The above figure is an estimate based upon the interest earned in 1999 and the first half
of 2000.
45000 - MEDICAL INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT - $4,500
This category is reimbursement from the State of Minnesota to recover the medical
expenses paid by our police department for officers who have taken a medical retirement
because of a work related disability. There is a one year lag in receiving compensation,
so this figure represents what our police department should receive in 2000.
