The $3.2M <br />2 brought in over the last 10 years is a benefit to the taxpayers. She asked about the uplift that is <br />3 needed for the facilities. Mr. Larson stated it is everything that needs to be done to the building <br />4 that is 20 years old. The HVAC system, the roof, the flooring, the counters, some shelving, paint <br />5 is all needed. <br />6 <br />7 Councilmember Randle referred to the dip in 2023 and it looks like none of the new business <br />8 was lost. Mr. Larson stated during COVID many of the municipals didn’t know what the future <br />9 would bring. The goal was to capture the new people coming into the stores and keeping them. <br />10 Profits and sales have continued at that level since re-opening. <br />11 <br />B.12 2024 Strategic Plan. <br />13 <br />14 City Manager Charlie Yunker reviewed the 2024 Strategic Plan Power Point Presentation.
