Some recent on-going grants and applications include: the $48,000 FEMA Grant for Fire Department equipment; application for a Homeland Security Grant that would fund 75% of the cost of an Outdoor Warning Siren (budgeted at $18,500); and the Police Department has secured a $25,800 State grant for squad car cameras that are budgeted in 2014. Liquor Operations The profitability of St. Anthony's Liquor Operations continues to be a focus for City Council and Staff. Profits from the operation of our two stores have a significant impact on our City's ability purchase capital equipment without issuing debt. They also provide a source of funding for reducing the general fund tax levy. The profits for year 2009 from Liquor Operations totaled $470,364. In 2010, the projected profits from Liquor Operations are estimated to be at or near our 2009 profit level. In 2011, the allocation of profits includes $291,800 being transferred to the General Fund and another $125,400 is designated to fund the purchases of Capital Equipment for all City Departments.
