I <br /> Highlights and Key elements of the budget Include: <br /> Payroll <br /> Continued support of the living wage will continue to increase payroll and will decrease <br /> profitability for years to come as raises compound the cost of the workforce. The increase in the <br /> percentage of retirement expenses for each employee will also impact payroll. <br /> Capital Improvements,Store Improvements and Projects <br /> We are buying a truck for$130,400 and windows $35,000 <br /> Rent and Lease Payments <br /> The Boad leases stores in Southern Village, Ram's Plaza and Meadowmont and only the <br /> Meadowmont store has a minimal lease increase this year. Currently the only loan obligation is for <br /> the Mebane store. <br /> i <br /> Training & Education <br /> Our education funds available are$35,000 as we will schedule more group training and team <br /> building activities in 2023/24. The ongoing goal will be to create a comfortable customer <br /> environment and improve overall operations and increase staff product knowledge. <br /> Staffing Summary <br /> The Board will maintain the increased employee roster to account for increased sales, the addition <br /> of the location in Southern Village, as well as the much larger store in Mebane. Current staffing <br /> levels fluctuate but are generally 45 Full-Time and 20 Part-Time for a total of 65 employees. We <br /> will maintain consistent staffing levels to keep customer service a high priority and add on where <br /> needed. We expect levels to increase with the opening of a new location. <br /> I <br /> Changes to this budget after adoption will be accompanied by a budget amendment with changes <br /> in excess of$50,000 requiring approval by the board and changes under$50,000 requiring <br /> approval by both the Budget Officer and Finance Officer followed by a budget amendment.This <br /> budget shows the commitment of the Orange County ABC Board to go over and above statutorily <br /> required distributions to Alcohol Education and Law Enforcement.This budget reflects the board's <br /> commitment to improving store infrastructure and increasing profitability by investing in the <br /> employees who generate revenue through their hard work and dedication to outstanding <br /> Customer Service. <br /> i <br /> Tony DuBois <br /> General Manager <br /> Orange County ABC Board <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br /> j <br /> j <br />
