LIQUOR STORE
<br />
<br />Provides for the total operation of the Elk River Municipal Liquor store as
<br />authorized by Minnesota State Law and the Elk River City Council.
<br />
<br />2003 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 2002 BUDGET
<br />
<br />The 2003 municipal liquor store operating budget is proposed in the amount of $937,000.
<br />This is a $44,850 or 5 percent increase over the adopted 2002 budget. Changes to note
<br />include: the $21,550 increase in personnel services, a $25,000 increase in the contribution to
<br />the general fund (transfer out), a $4,100 reduction in the debt payment, no capital outlay
<br />items being proposed for 2003 (an $8,700 reduction in this category), a $4,000 increase in
<br />marketing, a $7,000 increase in credit card fees, a $10,000 reduction in professional services
<br />(the 2002 expenditure was for the Westbound feasibility study), and a $4,800 increase in
<br />dues. It is surprising to note that over three percent of the operating budget is for credit card
<br />fees but in general this is the "price of doing business" in today's economy. Also, it should
<br />be noted that the dues increase is speculative in anticipation of a request for an assessment
<br />from the Minnesota Liquor Association to help educate everyone about the wine in grocery
<br />store legislation. Council approval is required before this assessment expenditure takes place.
<br />
<br />The 2003 estimated income statement for the liquor store is shown below. The operating
<br />expenses from the adjacent page are shown in a slightly different format in this income
<br />statement. The personnel services, supplies, and other services/charges are grouped as
<br />operating expenses, while the transfers, capital outlay, and debt expenses are listed
<br />separately. The sales revenues projected for 2003 is 3.69 percent over the 2001 actual sales.
<br />The year-end balance projection is nearly identical to the projections for 2002 in spite of the
<br />additional $25,000 contribution to the city's general fund. The balance is projected in the
<br />amount of $149,650 for 2003.
<br />
<br />The liquor store operation includes the liquor store manager plus 4 full 6me and anywhere
<br />bet~veen 4 and 7 part time employees depending upon the season.
