XI. In Summary <br />2014 Annual Report · Fire Department · St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br />17 <br />The department as a whole was very busy with increased focus on training and doing a better job of <br />keeping track of their time. The requirements that are placed on the members of the department seem to <br />increase every few years. Much of these are requirements come from the state or at the national level to <br />make sure that overall we are better prepared for various hazards or incidents. What that means however <br />is that increased commitment to the department by the members and their families. It is that commitment <br />to community for whom they serve that allows us to continue with a well-rounded and well-educated <br />department. <br />Code Enforcement had another busy year of keeping our community in good shape by remaining <br />proactive on the enforcement of ordinances. The goal is to keep our community looking the best it can <br />and to educate homeowners as to why taking care of their properties will only beneļ¬ t them. Blighted <br />properties and negative conditions hurt property values and those around them. By remaining proactive <br />and educating the public, we are able to keep St. Anthony a very desirable place to live. <br />Lastly, I would like to extend a heartfelt <br />thank you the families of our members. The <br />missed games, interrupted holidays, shortened <br />weekends or an abbreviated birthday for their <br />son or daughter because it is on drill night <br />cannot go unnoticed. Without that support and <br />understanding none of what we were able to <br />accomplish would happen. We rely heavily on <br />you and for that I would like to say Thank You.
