LIQUOR STORE FUND
<br />
<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 />
<br />1999 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 1998 BUDGET
<br />
<br />The 1999 municipal liquor store operating budget is planned in the amount
<br />of $719,300. This is a $18,050 or 2.6 percent increase from the adopted 1998
<br />budget. The changes include, in round numbers, the personal services going
<br />up by $22,000; the supplies and other services/charges categories going up by
<br />$12,000; the capital outlay category going down $4,000; the debt service
<br />going down $27,000; and the transfers going up $15,000. Additional personal
<br />services are required due to the new larger store which opened in October
<br />1997 and the 1998 estimate appears to be slightly low. The transfer out
<br />increase is due to an additional $15,000 being used for general city services
<br />and activities. The contribution to the general fund in 1999 is $110,000.
<br />This increase in transfers is more than offset by the debt service reduction.
<br />Future debt payments are scheduled to be similar to the 1999 amount.
<br />
<br />The revenue projections and an estimated income statement are listed below.
<br />Gross profits are up due mainly to inflation of prices and also due to a low
<br />estimate in 1998. Based on 1997 actual gross sales, the 1999 estimate may
<br />even be low. A negative balance amount is anticipated at the end of 1999,
<br />but this is slightly offset by the budgeted depreciation expense of $52,000.
