<br />Grants
<br />To help offset the cost of operations and capital equipment, Staff continues to participate in Federal
<br />and State grants, seeking donations from private sources and partners with local organizations. In
<br />2012, funding from these sources totaled $172,746. Combining this effort with previous years since
<br />1999, the City has received $15,982,099, which, based on a population of 8,226, represents $1,942.88
<br />per resident.
<br />Some recent on -going grants and applications include: to promote public safety and alcohol
<br />awareness the Police Department continues to secure Safe and Sober Grant funding; Metropolitan
<br />Council I & I Shared Services Grant; and a Metropolitan Environmental Services Grant;
<br />Liquor Operations
<br />The profitability of St. Anthony's Liquor Operations continues to be a focus for City Council and
<br />Staff. Profits from the operation of our two stores have a significant impact on our City's ability
<br />purchase capital equipment without issuing debt. They also provide a source of funding for reducing
<br />the general fund tax levy.
