Donations from private sources along with City partnerships with local <br />organizations also generate financial benefits. Since 1999, the City has received $34,222,709 in total <br />grants, donations and US Army proceeds. When spread over a population of 9,257 this represents <br />$3,697 per resident. <br /> <br />Recently accepted Grants and donations include: <br /> Hennepin County Recycling Grant - $12,995 <br /> Hennepin County Tree Grant - $5,000 <br /> Ramsey County Safe and Sober grants - $33,580 <br /> State of Minnesota COVID 19 Unemployment relief - $10,529 <br /> State of Minnesota Fire Fighters training grants - $31,132 <br /> American Rescue and Recovery act funding - $492,480 <br /> State and Federal Vest Grants - $8,234 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Liquor Operations <br />The profitability of St. Anthony’s Liquor Operations continues to be a focus for City Council and Staff. <br />The individual Liquor store sales have been projected at a conservative growth rate (using 2021 actual <br />sales) for 2022 budget purposes. The use of 2022 liquor profits to support general fund operations <br />remains at $250,000. This transfer level ensures the Liquor Fund retains adequate working capital fund <br />for both current operating and capital needs. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br /> <br />“Our mission is to be a progressive and welcoming Village <br />that is walkable, sustainable and safe” <br /> <br />The Mayor, City Council and Staff will continue to closely monitor the needs of everyone in the <br />community and set goals to meet the level of services that the community desires at the most <br />affordable cost. <br /> <br />St. Anthony is a thriving and stable community.
