Publisher
Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota
Abstract
This project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. Every year, the City of Brooklyn Park creates a Comprehensive Annual Finance Report (CAFR), an annual financial reporting document. The document is long and not comprehensible to the average resident. To improve financial transparency, this project was intended to create a more accessible Popular Annual Finance Report (PAFR), completed with community input. A pair of graduate students in Dr. Greg Lindsey’s PA 8081: Public Affairs Capstone workshop worked with City of Brooklyn Park project leads Korrie Johnson and Pa Thao to develop a PAFR for fiscal year 2015. The draft report, framework manual, and design manual and templates are available.
