Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board <br />o We have teamed up with State Alcohol Law Enforcement personnel to <br />train point -of -sale employees to detect fake identification documents. <br />We also purchased electronic equipment to aid our employees in this <br />endeavor (used in our high volumn stores primarily). <br />o We collected and paid -out over $3.2 <br />related to gross sales in last fiscal year. <br />• State Excise and sales taxes <br />• Mixed Beverage <br />• Rehabilitation <br />Total taxes based on gross sales <br />million in total taxes which were <br />$ 2,822.7k <br />$ 346.7k <br />$ 42.5k <br />$ 3,211.9k <br />o We purchased and up- fitted a new ABC store in Hillsborough to improve the <br />shopping experience of our Northern Orange customers (and to keep the money in <br />our county). This store also serves as the northern - Orange LBD distribution point. <br />o We linked into the State ABC website to provide the most up -to -date information <br />to potential customers. <br />o The budgeted distributions of net profit for the current fiscal year (FYI 0/11) will <br />be over $642k (broken down as $100k for alcohol education and rehabilitation, <br />$142.2k for alcohol law enforcement and $400k for the Orange County General <br />Fund, and $63.7k for retiree employee health care plan expenses. <br />Challenges: The biggest challenge we face currently is the potential privatization of <br />the entire state ABC system. We remain disappointed in the behavior and actions of a <br />few ABC boards. We are committed to provide a positive shopping experience for <br />our customers in Orange County. We are also committed to the legal sale of alcohol <br />and the control the current system provides in this regard. <br />Activities in Progress: <br />o We consider the care and upkeep of our retail stores a major issue. We remain <br />interested in ownership versus leasing of our stores. We have operated stores <br />in Chapel Hill /Carrboro since 1959; however, we own only one facility there. <br />Several leases will expire in 2013 and we are continuing our effort to find <br />suitable land on which to build or to purchase an already existing facility and <br />up -fit it to our unique needs. <br />o We have completed the rehabilitation of three of our owned stores in Northern <br />Orange County to create a better shopping environment and to preserve the <br />properties for the future. <br />Page 3 of 6 pages <br />
