Liquor Operations Mid-Year Report 17 <br /> 18 <br />Mr. Mike Larson, Liquor Operation Manager made a presentation on the Liquor Operations year 19 <br />to date. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Councilmember Randle asked how being closed on Sundays affected sales. Mr. Larson 22 <br />indicated it really has not had an impact and sales have continued to increase. Retail is about 23 <br />convenience and really drives the bus. He noted they want to be open on Sundays again but 24 <br />there is some concern regarding staffing levels. There are a few employees that are out because 25 <br />they are in a high risk group so they are trying to replace them and get the new staff trained and 26 <br />also he wants to monitor conditions in order to reduce as much exposure as possible for 27 <br />employees in the store. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Councilmember Jenson noted it was amazing how the sales have jumped throughout the year 30 <br />with the stores being closed half the month of April. He thought Mr. Larson had a really good 31 <br />operation and he wanted to compliment staff on how the customers are treated. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Councilmember Webster complimented the staff as well and she was impressed how quickly the 34 <br />store transitioned for safety of the customers and staff. She thought the staff was very friendly to 35 <br />her and other customers when she visited as they have always been, and she wanted to express 36 <br />her thanks. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Mayor Stille indicated he was looking back to 2012 when Mr. Larson was rocking sales pre big 39 <br />box and he wanted to point out that over the last few months the store was back to those levels of 40 <br />sales. He knew this was an anomaly but wanted to point that out. He thanked Mr. Larson and 41 <br />his staff for working through this Pandemic. 42 <br /> 43 <br />C. 2nd Quarter Goals Update 44 <br /> 45 <br />City Manager Casey reviewed the 2nd Quarter Goals with the City Council. 46 <br />2
