Changes from the prior <br />year included the following: <br /> <br />• Operating grants and contributions were down, due to a one-time reimbursement from Ramsey <br />County for its share of a joint street project in the prior year. <br /> <br />• Capital grants and contributions were up, due to significant assessments in the current year for <br />street projects and due to contributions from Ramsey County and Bethel University for the trail <br />project. <br /> <br />• Public works spending was down in the current year, due to the contribution of capital assets to <br />Ramsey County in the prior year for a multi-year street project accumulated by the City as part of <br />the joint street project. <br /> <br />Business-Type Activities – Current year operating results of business-type activities increased net <br />position by $1,034,440, due to positive results of the utility operations of the City. The increase in capital <br />grants and contributions noted above is due to a grant from the state for a utility project in the current <br />year. Program revenues exceeded program expenses for each of the City’s business-type activities, except <br />recycling.
