MEMORANDUM
To:St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Charlie Yunker, City Manager
Date:February 25, 2025 City Council Meeting
Request:Public Safety Facility Exploration
BACKGROUND
Throughout much of 2024 extensive discussion took place on the functionality of the current Police Department
facility during the process of considering a renewal of the policing partnership with the City of Falcon Heights.
While it was known that the facility was not adequate to fit current needs, the renewed partnership has brought
the issue to the top of the priority list of City facilities needing attention to better fit current and future needs.
As part of the renewed partnership decision, a commitment was made to explore the options for renovating and
expanding the Police Department facility. One option to expand and renovate the current facility, and
preliminary work has been completed on a scope should that be the necessary option. Also, staff is working on
completing minor renovations in 2025 to accommodate new staff and make the space more usable either for
the Police Department or another user should the department move to a different location.
The other option is to add-on to the existing Fire Station and join the Police and Fire Departments into a joint
Public Safety Facility. This would address space issues in both the Fire and Police Departments and allow for a
better long-term solution for the needs of both departments.
This Public Safety Facility option is dependent on two primary factors: (1) the feasibility of constructing an
expanded facility adjacent to the existing fire station, and (2) the ability of City to secure as much outside
funding as possible, and supplement with city bonding at an amount that will not put additional, undue pressure
on the annual tax levy. As reflected in the City’s 2025 Strategic Plan, efforts will be made this year to determine
if a Public Safety Facility approach is feasible both the logistically and financially.
To determine the answer on both of those factors, third-party expertise is needed. Staff has been working on
preliminary steps to secure that expertise, and proposals are included for your review and approval of the
approach proposed.
ARCHITECTURAL PREDESIGN
The City worked with Oertel Architects in 2024 to discuss the Police Department facility while the Falcon Heights
partnership renewal discussions were taking place to assess the impact and options at the Community Center
facility. Subsequent discussions have focused on the concept of the Public Safety facility and the plan to seek
outside funding.
In order to determine if outside funding will be available, The City needs to get the facility concept to a
“predesign” status. Which is enough design to demonstrate the project has legitimate support and is achievable,
while leaving many details and specifics to be determined at a subsequent phase, once adequacy of funding is
determined.
23
Those deliverables are described in the proposal from Oertel Architects and consist of four primary elements:
Spreadsheet showing space needs and relation to existing spaces
Test fits showing remodel and addition options
Early phase opinion of cost
Presentation graphics as needed
The proposed cost for this predesign phase is $15,150.00.
PUBLIC FUNDING OPPORTUNUTIES
The city does not have the financial resources to fund a new facility exclusively through its annual tax levy, and
outside support will be required. The City has a long history of seeking grant funding, but does not have an
extensive history in seeking and securing this particular type and scope of funding, and third-party expertise will
be needed in order to fully explore the options and craft a compelling case for financial support.
Staff has met with Fox Advancement on two occasions to discuss this project and craft a scope of work to assist.
Fox Advancement has provided a proposal to assist that covers four primary objectives with additional details in
their proposal:
Identify and Prioritize Public Grant Opportunities
Develop a Strategic Grant Application Plan
Explore Public-Private Partnerships and Philanthropic Funding
Final Report and Recommendations
The proposed cost for this work is proposed at a hourly rates detailed in the proposal, with an overall scope
expected to be approximately $8,000.00 - $9,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of both proposals to continue efforts on the exploration of a Public Safety Facility.

Fox Grants: Your Ideal Grant Writing Partner
Proposal for St Anthony Village
Challenges
St. Anthony Village is at a pivotal moment as it seeks to secure funding for a new public safety
facility that will house both its police and fire departments. As a regional service provider, the
city plays a critical role in ensuring public safety not only for its residents but also for
surrounding communities. However, the current facilities are outdated and no longer meet the
operational needs of modern emergency response teams. Upgrading to a modern,
well-equipped facility is essential to maintaining high-quality public safety services.
Securing the estimated $15 million required for construction presents a significant financial
challenge. With a small population of just 9,200 residents and a substantial existing debt load
from a previous street improvement project, traditional debt financing is unlikely to be a viable
solution. This financial constraint necessitates pursuing alternative funding strategies,
including federal, state, and private grant opportunities, to help offset costs and minimize the
financial burden on taxpayers.
To address this challenge, St. Anthony Village has engaged with Fox Grants to explore public
funding options and grant opportunities. Identifying and successfully securing competitive
grants requires a well-researched, strategic approach to align city needs with available
funding sources. A comprehensive funding strategy will be essential to navigating the
complexities of public grants, ensuring that the city maximizes available resources while
maintaining its commitment to fiscal responsibility.

Solutions
Overview
To help St. Anthony Village secure funding for its new public safety facility, Fox Grants
recommends a multi-faceted approach that leverages public funding opportunities, strategic
partnerships, and a well-structured grants strategy. Given the city’s financial constraints, our focus
will be on identifying and securing non-dilutive funding sources that align with the project’s public
safety mission while minimizing the impact on taxpayers.
1. Identify and Prioritize Public Grant Opportunities (for example):
a. FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) Program for fire department
infrastructure and equipment.
b. U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) COPS Office Grants for police facility
improvements.
c. State-level public safety and infrastructure grants that support municipal
emergency services.
d. Bonding bill allocations through state legislative advocacy.
e. FEMA and potential disaster relief funding.
f. Incentives for Energy Efficiency Enhancement and Improvements that promote
energy efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption, which directly contributes
to a smaller carbon footprint.
By prioritizing grants with the highest likelihood of success, we will develop a targeted funding
roadmap that maximizes available resources.
2. Develop a Strategic Grant Application Plan
Applying for competitive public funding requires a structured approach. Fox Grants will work with
St. Anthony Village to:
a. Craft compelling grant narratives that clearly demonstrate the regional impact
and necessity of the new facility.
b. Ensure compliance with funding requirements, including environmental,
operational, and financial reporting criteria.
c. Coordinate application timelines to align with grant cycles and ensure timely
submissions.
3
30
This proactive planning will position the city for success in securing multiple funding sources over
the next funding cycles.
3. Explore Public-Private Partnerships and Philanthropic Funding
In addition to government grants, there may be private foundations, corporate sponsorships, and
local philanthropic entities interested in supporting public safety initiatives. Fox Grants will work to
identify potential funding partners who align with the project’s mission and explore opportunities
for community fundraising efforts, and corporate contributions to supplement grant funding.
4. Final Report and Recommendations
Fox Grants will provide a final report summarizing all identified funding opportunities, applications
submitted, and next steps for securing additional resources. This report will include
recommendations for future funding strategies, targeted grant opportunities, and guidance on
how St. Anthony Village can sustain its fundraising momentum.
By implementing these strategic steps, St. Anthony Village will be well-positioned to secure the
necessary funding for its public safety facility while maintaining its financial stability. Fox Grants is
prepared to lead this process, ensuring the city has a strong, competitive approach to securing the
resources needed for this critical infrastructure project.

THE VALUE OF MUNICIPAL LIQUOR
OPERATIONS
-Valuation Viewpoints, Shenehon Business & Real Estate Valuations
“Municipal stores must abide by the
same laws and three-tier distribution
model.”
“Residents also benefit from a publicly
owned asset that generates an
economic return on equity and capital,
putting taxpayer dollars to productive
use.”
THE VALUE OF SAINT ANTHONY
VILLAGE WINE AND SPIRITS
Our profits are transferred to the General Fund
and can be used to provide property tax levy
relief and supplement general fund purchases,
at the Mayor and Council’s discretion.

THE VALUE OF SAINT ANTHONY
VILLAGE WINE AND SPIRITS
Purpose is not the sole pursuit of profits but the animating
force for achieving them. (Harvard Law School Forum on
Corporate Governance)
Purpose-driven companies are more likely to have motivated
employees, satisfied customers and higher business success
than those that don’t. (Forbes Media)
Profit is an output, not a purpose.
Purpose and Profits
Purpose is not just a tagline or marketing campaign; it is a company's fundamental
reason for being —what it provides every day to create value for its stakeholders.
