Liquor Operations <br />The profitability of St. Anthony’s Liquor Operations continues to be a focus for City Council and <br />Staff. Liquor sales since 2014 have been impacted by increased competition within the local Liquor <br />business and reduced traffic in the Silver Lake Village shopping area. While sales since June have <br />started trending higher, the conservative projection of sales has been retained for budget. <br />Therefore the use of liquor profits to support other operations has been rebased to $249,049 <br />annually. <br /> <br />In 2016, the allocation of liquor operating profits includes $156,396 being transferred to the <br />General Fund and $92,653 is designated to the Capital Equipment Fund. <br /> <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />“Our mission is to be a progressive, livable, walkable Village which is sustainable, safe and secure”. <br /> <br />The Mayor, City Council and Staff will continue to closely monitor the needs of the community and <br />set goals to meet the level of services that the community desires at the most affordable cost. <br /> <br />St. Anthony is a thriving and stable community. A key factor in improving our community is <br />intergovernmental cooperation between the City, the School District, Hennepin/Ramsey Counties, <br />the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, the Rice Creek Watershed as well as the <br />Police Contracts with Lauderdale and Falcon Heights. <br /> <br />The quarterly meetings held between the School Board and the City Council along with our on-going <br />dialog and partnering with our local businesses, Hennepin/Ramsey Counties and the Watershed <br />Districts help us in developing a better understanding of the overall needs of the community. <br /> <br />The City continues to be very active in the League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of <br />Metropolitan Municipalities (Metro Cities), our local Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis. <br /> <br />Undoubtedly, the responsible management of our financial resources will contribute to providing <br />strong services and infrastructure improvements to our Community; management of this process is <br />an rewarding challenge for the City Council and Staff. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7
