' Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . � Dick Benson, City Administrator, reviewed a LIQUOR STORE RENT � letter from Lorraine McGowan, Liquor Store . Manager, which states that: Attached is a letter I received from Mr. Keaveny regarding our lease at the liquor store. He �explained that he had just gotten the assessment figures and this increase is necessary at this � time. He also said he should have some figures • this week or next on the space and building we previously talked to him about. � � I do believe our original lease with IDS was � reasonable but the $25 . 00 increase per year since 1970 was not a realistic increase. In � January 1977, our increase was $200 per month„ making our rent $875. Now, in July, another � $125 making a total increase for the last six • months $325. This makes a total increase of $3, 150 for 1977. Our 1977 budget was set for � a $1, 500 increase. If we break the increase down over seven years, it is an increase of � $450 per year, which is out of line I think. One point of consideration is the fact that this � does include heating, maintenance, and repairs • on the furnace and air conditioner plus parking lot repairs, etc. � As you know, I have cut all possible expenses, � expecially the �ayroll to the bare minimum, so any increases in expenses now are non-control- lable and we have to increase our sales and profit.
