- Meeting Overview:
The recent St. Paul Park City Council meeting highlighted the recognition of Cassie Hannon, who received a Citizen Life Savings Award for her quick response in administering CPR to a man in distress at the local Speedway. Her actions, guided by Washington County dispatcher Sarah Garrison, were credited with stabilizing the man until first responders arrived. Both were praised for their roles, with particular acknowledgment of the often-overlooked contributions of dispatchers like Garrison.
The meeting also addressed concerns about the city’s budget and tax levy for 2025. A resident, Sharon Orist, raised questions about her property tax increase, which exceeded the predicted percentage in the city memo. Ultimately, the council approved a final budget with a tax levy set at 5.97%, a reduction from the initial proposal, largely due to a significant loss of public safety aid revenue from the previous year.
