Waverly council offers liquor store manager job to candidate with 25 years’ experience
Summary
After interviewing one candidate who cited 25 years of bartending experience and current assistant manager duties, the council offered the liquor store manager position and authorized the city administrator to negotiate a potential wage increase within 90 days.
The Waverly City Council interviewed one candidate for liquor store manager at its March 25 special session and approved offering the job.
The candidate said she has 25 years of bartending experience and currently works as an assistant liquor store manager; she described passing an operational test covering cash handling and inventory management and outlined ideas to boost on-sale business, including analyzing customer patterns, adjusting hours, exploring bar-food options, and strengthening staff training and event support.
Council members expressed confidence in the candidate’s qualifications and community connections. The council approved a motion to offer the candidate the liquor store manager position and separately approved a motion to offer the same wage as the current manager while authorizing the City Administrator to negotiate an increase within 90 days.
Why it matters: The hire fills an operational leadership role for the city’s on-sale liquor operations, and compensation authorization gives the administrator delegated authority to seek adjustments based on performance or market comparisons.
Next steps: Offer paperwork will be completed and the administrator may negotiate wage terms within the 90-day window authorized by council.
