Regular Council Meeting <br />10-21-02 <br />Page 16 <br />Mayor Rinker said if I can, and Susan, if you'd stay up there because I think we are all still a <br />little trying to figure it out. You are educating us a little, Mr. Steigerwald. We are looking at <br />this memorandum from the Superintendent from State of Ohio. This is from this Summer, I <br />think it is either the 2°d of June, the 2°d of July--I'm sorry, July 31, 02. The second paragraph; <br />this is part of the attachment--it indicates the combination sales outlet reported spirituous liquor <br />sales for calendar year 2001 for wholesale and it's a little over 1.3 million and retail for just <br />under 2 million; 1.9 million. Now, is that strictly for liquor control issues? <br />Mr. Steigerwald replied, correct. <br />Mayor Rinker said so that's a volume of 3.25; three and a quarter million dollars per annum. <br />Now, what is your other beverage sales?

Because you are talking the other things are beer, wine, <br />pop, other kinds of beverages, right? <br />Mr. Steigerwald answered it might.... <br />Mr. Brett said but if hard liquor is 100% more.... <br />Mr. Steigerwald said the dollar amount is a ton on liquor... <br />Council President Buckholtz asked are we looking at the customer base? I was always thinking <br />in terms of the customer base, not the dollar amount or necessarily the number of products, the <br />number of packages that the customer walks out with but the customer base? I mean you may <br />want to do an analysis, I mean, as part of this as to who you think-I mean, you have lottery <br />sales, you have, you know, people coming in fora 6-pack of pop. I mean you may want to <br />
