Highlights and Key elements of the budget Include: <br /> Payroll <br /> Continued support of the living wage will increase payroll and will decrease profitability for years <br /> to come as raises compound the cost of the workforce.The Covid-19 extra duty pay and increase <br /> in the percentage of retirement expenses for each employee will also impact payroll. <br /> Capital Improvements,More Improvements and Building Projects <br /> We are building a store in Mebane on our existing property with an estimated cost of$2,350,000. <br /> (tent and Lease Payments <br /> The only lease payments are in Ram's Plaza and Meadowmont and both will increase this year. <br /> Training& Education <br /> Our education funds available are$10,000 as we maintain our relationship with Catapult Raleigh <br /> and Greensboro as a member and will continue to partner with them to provide training. Several <br /> core areas will be covered to improve customer service and management skills with the continuing <br /> goal to create a comfortable customer environment and improve overall operations and <br /> profitability. <br /> Staffing Summary <br /> The Board normally maintains an employee base of 49 Employees with 34 Full-Time and 15 Part- <br /> Time and do not usually expect this number to fluctuate. We had some surge hiring for the extra <br /> sales we are experiencing and have created a new category of temporary part time for any part <br /> time employee anticipated to be working less than a year. We will maintain enough employees to <br /> keep customer service a high priority by maintaining consistent staffing levels. <br /> Changes to this budget after adoption will be accompanied by a budget amendment with changes <br /> in excess of$5,000 requiring approval by the board and changes under$5,000 requiring approval <br /> by both the Budget Officer and Finance Officer. This budget shows the commitment of the Orange <br /> County ABC Board to go over and above statutorily required distributions to Alcohol Education <br /> and Law Enforcement.This budget reflects the board's commitment to improving store <br /> infrastructure and increasing profitability by investing in the employees who generate revenue <br /> through their hard work and dedication to outstanding Customer Service. <br /> QT�— -I�D <br /> Tony DuBois <br /> General Manager <br /> Orange County ABC Board <br />
