Thursday, September 13, 1979 8:OOp.m. ' t I Call to Order II Liquor Store Proposal III Preliminary Discussion of City Properties IV Proposed 1980 Budget t TO: Mayor and Council THRU: Roger Ulstad FROM: John Frane DATE: September 7, 1979 RE: Proposal by Barmil Search to construct and lease to the City a building for a liquor store in the M. C.-A. Barmil has asked the City to consider locating a store next to the . Applebaums' project to the south of the Eden Prairie Center. They are asking $6.60 a square foot for a net net lease for a fifteen year period with an overide of 4. 5% of sales in excess of $635.000 in a 4,400 square foot building. Net profit from our stores can be expected in the 4.5% to 5.5% range. The 4.5% overide would therefore net from $0 to $1,000 of additional net profit per $100,000 of additional sales. I do not recommend the City taking any action on this proposal . � J CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE -GENERAL FUND BUDGET REVENUE ' AS OF JULY 1, 1979 BALANCE x 42% OF BUDGET RECEIVED_ BALANCE YEAR LEFT ?AXES -982,000 -563,651 41.89348 43 .LICENSES 39,900 21,003 189896 47 - PERHITS .263,600 216,428 47,171 18 -OTHER GOVERNENTS 519,700 2579860 261,839 5D FEES -2589200 1549919 1039280 40 RECREATION FEES 759306 34,548 40,751 54 OTHER REVENUES 2099950 1180880 91,069 43 2,348,650 193679292 981,357 42 I CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE GENERAL FUND BUDGET EXPENDITURES As of July 319 1979 i •BALANCE % 42% OF r BUDGET EXPENDED BALANCE YEAR LEFT 3 Mayor and Council 139200 7,700 51500 42 Manager 52,30E 29,543 • 22,756 44 In Service Training 17,000 10,814 6,185 • 36 Public Information 7,400 21926 49473 60 Corporation Council 30,000 23,590 6,409 21 Health 51000 51000 -- Finance 47,500 26,960 ' 20,539 43 General Services 25,900 17,499 8,400 32 Logis 15,O00 10,487 4,512 30 Benefits . .215,000 145,926 20,073 32 Shared Services 82,600 60,834 21,766 26 City Hall 19,500 12,444 7,055 36 Reserve 3,650 255 3,394 93 Engineering 134,500 73,148 61 ,351 46 ..Building Inspector 108.900 58.91.3 49,986 46 Assessing 85,000 42,434 42,565 50 Poli_e 475,200 266,080 209,119 44 .
