Activity Description
Under MN statute, the primary purpose of municipal liquor stores is to control the distribution of alcohol . Municipal liquor
stores can also generate income for the community, reducing the amount of property taxes otherwise required for city
operations. The income opportunities are limited however, by significant market competition within the metro area.
Additionally, when the current Top Valu I facility was constructed in 2007-2008 at 4950 Central Avenue NE, the City Council
chose to construct the building to very strict design guidelines, so that this store will be a leading example for other businesses
in the community for many years.
Our city's three -store municipal liquor operation is the 6th largest by gross sales in Minnesota. It has provided funds for city
infrastructure, equipment, and mitigation of the negative effects of alcohol in the community through activities such as
D.A.R.E.
Obiectives
Carrying on from 2019, the liquor operation will continue to develop the product offerings and sales strategies that allows the
stores to stay current with the rapidly changing Twin Cities metro market. A shift in advertising concepts will also support the
growth of the stores. In 2020 advertising will be pulled from redundant local papers and shift to media that will target a new
customer base. New strategies include; increased Social Media presence, industry specific publications and apps and zip code
focused mailings.
Branded uniforms will also be introduced to all staff in 2020 to provide a consistent, cohesive look for the operation. This will
help our employees stand out to customers, provide a sense of unity and improve the brand image and customer service of
the operation.
2020 will bring a migration of inventory and processes to a new point -of -sale system, as our current system will no longer be
support by Microsoft. The upgrade will allow us to continue our achievements in inventory management, purchasing and
historical sales data which allow the operation to continue to be financially sound.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
Within the Supplies category, the cost of goods sold for the liquor operation is budgeted each year to reflect the most recent
sales projections available. Apart from the cost of goods sold, the proposed increase in 2020 operating expenses for all three
stores combined is $54,400 or 3% over the 2019 budget.
$26,500 of this increase (for all three stores combined) is in personnel, primarily for cost -of -living increases in labor
agreements.
We note that personnel was over -budgeted for store 3 in 2019 and under -budgeted by an equal amount for stores 1 & 2 in
2019, relative to where the staffing actually occurs. For this reason, the 2020 budget for store 3 shows a decrease in personnel
from the 2019 budget. We also note that the average budgeted increase in personnel for all stores combined over the
combined period of 2019 and 2020 is 3.3% per year, which closely follows the labor agreements for those years.
The proposed 2020 increase in non -personnel costs is $27,900 (for all three stores combined). The largest components of this
are $9,200 to sealcoat all three parking lots, an increase in credit card fees of $6,500 to match actual sales , $3,200 more in
advertising to remain competitive, and a $2,800 premium increase for property and liability insurance.

We note that personnel was over -budgeted to store 3 in 2019 and under -budgeted by an equal amount to stores 1 & 2 in 2019,
relative to where the staffing actually occurs. For this reason, the 2020 budget for store 3 shows a decrease in personnel from
the 2019 budget. We also note that the average budgeted increase in personnel for all stores combined over the combined
period of 2019 and 2020 is 3.3% per year, which closely follows the labor agreements for those years.
The proposed 2020 increase in non -personnel costs is $27,900 (for all three stores combined) . The largest components of this
are $9,200 to sealcoat all three parking lots, an increase in credit card fees of $6,500 to match actual sales , $3,200 more in
advertising to remain competitive, and a $2,800 premium increase for property and liability insurance.

Activity Description
Under MN statute, the primary purpose of municipal liquor stores is to control the distribution of alcohol . Municipal liquor stores can
also generate income for the community, reducing the amount of property taxes otherwise required for city operations. The income
opportunities are limited however, by significant market competition within the metro area.
Additionally, when the current Top Valu I facility was constructed in 2007-2008 at 4950 Central Avenue NE, the City Council chose to
construct the building to very strict design guidelines, so that this store will be a leading example for other businesses in the community
for many years.
Our city's three -store municipal liquor operation is the 6th largest by gross sales in Minnesota. It has provided funds for City
infrastructure, equipment, and mitigation of the negative effects of alcohol in the community through activities such as D.A. R.E.
Objectives
Carrying on from 2019, the liquor operation will continue to develop the product offerings and sales strategies that allows the stores to
stay current with the rapidly changing Twin Cities metro market. A shift in advertising concepts will also support the growth of the stores.
In 2020 advertising will be pulled from redundant local papers and shift to media that will target a new customer base. New strategies
include; increased Social Media presence, industry specific publications and apps and zip code focused mailings.
Branded uniforms will also be introduced to all staff in 2020 to provide a consistent, cohesive look for the operation. This will help our
employees stand out to customers, provide a sense of unity and improve the brand image and customer service of the operation.
2020 will bring a migration of inventory and processes to a new point -of -sale system, as our current system will no longer be support by
Microsoft. The upgrade will allow us to continue our achievements in inventory management, purchasing and historical sales data which
allow the operation to continue to be financially sound.
Exterior and interior updates to improve the visual appeal of this store in 2019 and 2020 are planned as part of a larger project
approved by the City Council in prior years. These updates include exterior trim, lighting, signage, flooring, paint, counters, and additional
security cameras.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
Within the Supplies category, the cost of goods sold for the liquor operation is budgeted each year to reflect the most recent sales
projections available. Apart from the cost of goods sold, the proposed increase in 2020 operating expenses for all three stores combined is
$54,400 or 3% over the 2019 budget.
$26,500 of this increase (for all three stores combined) is in personnel, primarily for cost -of -living increases in labor agreements.
We note that personnel was over -budgeted to store 3 in 2019 and under -budgeted by an equal amount to stores 1 & 2 in 2019, relative
to where the staffing actually occurs. For this reason, the 2020 budget for store 3 shows a decrease in personnel from the 2019 budget.
We also note that the average budgeted increase in personnel for all stores combined over the combined period of 2019 and 2020 is 3.3%
per year, which closely follows the labor agreements for those years.
The proposed 2020 increase in non -personnel costs is $27,900 (for all three stores combined) . The largest components of this are $9,200
to sealcoat all three parking lots, an increase in credit card fees of $6,500 to match actual sales , $3,200 more in advertising to remain
competitive, and a $2,800 premium increase for property and liability insurance.

Activity Description
To improve the analysis of results at each of the three stores, activity that is not a function of store operations is
accounted for separately in the non -operating department 49794. These non -operating activities routinely include
acquisition of equipment over $5,000; construction of building or parking lot improvements; debt service; and
transfers to other city funds.
Objectives
Fund the replacement of the point -of -sale system used to record all sales and inventory transactions at the three
stores. The current system is Microsoft -based and Microsoft will cease supporting it in 2020. It was originally
installed in 2008.
Continue funding the Infrastructure Fund 430 at $50,000 per year, as in prior years. This supports the key element of
strong infrastructure stated in the City Council's 2017 goal -setting report.
Continue funding D.A.R.E. and other police community programs within the General Fund at $10,000 per year, as in
prior years. This supports the key element of safe community stated in the City Council's 2017 goal -setting report.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The budget for this department is $43,500 or 10% higher for 2020 than for 2019.
$23,000 of this increase is for the replacement of the point -of -sale system mentioned above. This a relatively small
amount for the first -year cost of a new system, including replacement of 9 cashier terminals, because staff expects
the replacement system price will be structured as an on -going monthly subscription. This contrasts with the old
system which was structured as a single large upfront purchase with occasional hourly labor charges for
maintenance.
$15,000 of this increase reflects increased annual principal payments on bonds that financed store construction.
These payments were intentionally structured in this manner during the 2017 refinancing of this debt, in order to
keep interest costs lower over the term of the financing.
