Memorandum
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Justin Miller, City Administrator
Date: June 22, 2020
Subject: Dakota Communications Center (DCC) Governance
At the previous City Council work session, there was a request to update the council on the
Dakota Communications Center (DCC) financing and governance model. Attached to this
report is the draft 2021 DCC budget. Due to COVID related concerns and remote meeting
issues, the DCC Board of Directors will not be approving this budget until later this summer,
so the final numbers may change somewhat.
Over the past several years, the member cities (all Dakota County cities) have been requesting
that Dakota County take a more active role in the financing/operational management of the
DCC. Recently, the DCC Board of Directors formed a committee to address this concern. Both
myself (Executive Committee) and Councilmember Volk (as the city’s DCC representative)
were named to this committee. The committee has met once and will be meeting again on
the morning of June 22nd, so we will have an update at the council’s work session.

Center
2021 PROPOSED BUDGET
To: Board of Directors
The Dakota Communications Center’s 2021 budget was developed with regard to the
Board of Director’s desire to provide a high level of service while remaining fiscally
responsible. Working with our Public Safety Partners and taking into account industry
standards and best practices, the staff is committed to continual evaluation and
improvement.
Major Initiatives The following items are new to the budget in 2021 and reflect the desire
to improve services while being fiscally responsible.
The Vesta 911 phone system in place at the DCC since 2015 is in need of a
hardware refresh. This will extend the life of the system an additional 5 years.
The Equature Recording system is also in need of a hardware refresh which will
also extend the life of the system. These systems are likely to make some
advancements in the coming years in response to NG911. Extending the life of the
current system will allow systems to mature before considering a wholesale
replacement.
The addition of a LaserFiche system will help automate and streamline our current
manual document management. Working with LOGIS will be much more
economical than doing this on our own.
Member Fees The proposed 2021 budget is premised on an $9.5 million member fee
assessment which is a 2.9% increase over the 2020 membership fee. The 2.9% increase
reflects additional enhanced services, mandated technology and salary increases. The fee
is assessed to member agencies based on a 3‐year average of actual CAD calls. The
assessment increase or decrease may, therefore, vary between agencies depending on
the number of actual calls.
Cost of Service The primary expenses financed with member fees are personnel (68%),
operating costs such as technology support and facilities maintenance (27%) and long‐
term equipment acquisitions and
replacements (5%).
The DCC staffing levels are proposing to
add a .5 FTE Dispatcher in 2021 bringing
the number of dispatchers to 53.5.
Staffing needs due to call load and
changing technology continues to be re‐
evaluated. The most significant factor
affecting near‐term cost adjustments are
those related to wages and benefits.
Prudent long‐term financial planning has been an enduring priority which enables the DCC
to have reasonable member fees. This is exemplified by the 10‐year plan which is
projecting no member fee increase for equipment acquisition and replacement for the
foreseeable future.
Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Executive
Committee and the Board of Directors for their support. Special thanks to Logan Martin,
Matt Smith and Melanie Mesko‐Lee for their review and input. A sincere thanks to Jerilyn
Erickson and David Lang from the Lakeville Finance Department for all of their efforts
throughout the year on the Dakota Communications Center financial matters.
Recommendation The DCC staff recommends approval of the budget as provided
herein.

Net changes (268,481)$ (305,212)$ (36,731)$
Revenues
Membership fees provide the majority (93%) of the resources for financing operations.
Other General Fund revenues are comprised on State aids (911 fees), MTNS partnership
revenues, LMCIT rebates and interest revenues. 911 fee revenue provided by State of
Minnesota are projected to remain unchanged due to the State’s distribution formula.
Interest rates, MTNS partnership revenues and LMCIT rebates are anticipated to remain
stable.
Expenditures
Personnel. The DCC Board has authorized 66 personnel positions of which 53 are
dispatchers. The proposed budget includes adding one additional supervisor mid‐year for
2021. The proposed budget also takes into consideration step increases based on current
union contracts and non‐union personnel policies which are related to resignations and
retirements. The collective bargaining contracts expire December 31, 2021.
Non‐personnel costs. Non‐personnel expenses ($2.84 million) are comprised of facility
lease payments, equipment and building maintenance, utilities, technology support and
other related costs. Non‐personnel costs are projected to increase by $153,000 when
compared to the adopted 2020 budget.

Fund Balance
The Dakota Communications Center Fund Balance policy states: “The Dakota
Communications Center will endeavor to maintain an unassigned fund balance
equivalent to 8.3% ‐ 14.0% of total annual operating expenses to provide adequate
working capital for operations and reserves for unanticipated events in order to avoid
short term borrowing.”
The proposed General Fund budget has an ending fund balance which is within the
guidelines of the Fund Balance policy.
