LIQUOR STORE FUND
<br />
<br />Provides for the total operation of the Elk River Municipal Liquor store
<br />as authorized by Minnesota State Law and the Elk River City Council.
<br />
<br />1998 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 1997 BUDGET
<br />
<br />The 1998 municipal liquor store budget is planned in the amount of
<br />$701,250. This is a $174,950 decrease from the adopted 1997 budget. The
<br />decrease in this budget is mainly due to the 1997 land purchase for $375,000
<br />for the future Westbound Liquor store. This decrease is somewhat offset by
<br />the new 1998 expenditure of $173,000 for debt service on the new
<br />Northbound Liquor store, which was constructed and opened in 1997. The
<br />difference between these two major budget changes is $202,000, which is
<br />approximately $27,000 more than the total difference between the 1997 and
<br />the 1998 budgets. The new larger store is the major reason why there is an
<br />increase in personal services for 1998. Personal services are projected to
<br />increase $36,500, which is a 16% increase over the adopted 1997 amount.
<br />Other major changes in the liquor store budget include an increase in the
<br />depreciation expense of $29,000 (to a total of $52,000) based on the new store
<br />and a $27,000 decrease in transfers due to the refinancing of the City Hall
<br />bond. These two major budget changes somewhat offset each other.
<br />
<br />The revenue projections and an estimated income statement are listed below.
<br />Gross profits are up significantly due mainly to low estimates in previous
<br />budgets. The more accurate 1998 estimates are generally based on 1996
<br />actual figures.
