LIQUOR STORE FUND <br />. - -- Provides for the total operation of the Elk River Municipal Liquor <br />store as authorized by Minnesota State Law and the Elk River City <br />Council. <br />1996 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 1995 BUDGET <br />The 1995 and 1996 liquor store year end income projections are shown <br />below. The projections for gross operating profit are based on a percentage <br />and historically have been conservative as the actual cost of sales generally <br />are not as high as projected. <br />The 1996 Municipal Liquor Store budget is planned in the amount of <br />$483,050. This is a $12,300 decrease from the adopted 1995 budget. <br />Almost all of the decrease is located in the transfers out to the general fund. <br />Most of the other liquor store expenditures are stable from year to year, but <br />there are some annual increases in personal services. In 1996, the area of <br />most change in this budget is in the general fund transfers out line item. <br />This expense went up $40,000 in 1995 and has decreased by half of this <br />amount, or $20,000, in 1996. The city has a need to save funds for future <br />. capital outlay items so it is attempting to keep the transfers out near the <br />1990 -94 level which was $83,450. The capital outlay needs include the long <br />term plan to construct a new Northbound Liquor store and to sell its current <br />facility. Fees for preliminary architectural services for this project are <br />included in this 1996 budget. A short term goal is to obtain land for a <br />Westbound Liquor store which may ultimately be needed to serve the <br />community as the population increases. <br />1996 Proiected 1995 Adopted <br />Sales <br />$2,350,000 <br />$2,300,000 <br />Cost of Sales <br />1,815,000 <br />1,778,000 <br />Gross Profit <br />535,000 <br />522,000 <br />Operating Expenses <br />318,250 <br />308,900 <br />Operating Income <br />216,750 <br />213,100 <br />Interest Income <br />38,000 <br />25,000 <br />Net Income Before Transfers <br />254,750 <br />238,100 <br />Transfers In (Out) <br />City Hall Reserve Fund <br />(30,000) <br />(30,000) <br />General Fund <br />(105,050) <br />(125,050) <br />General Fund -Fire Lease <br />(28,400) <br />(28,400) <br />Income After Transfers <br />Capital Outlay <br />91,300 <br />(1,350) <br />54,650 <br />(3,000) <br />Balance After Capital Outlay <br />$89,950 <br />$51,650 <br />
