Ivanhoe OKs $1,587 wage payout for municipal liquor-store manager after $15,870 profit in 2024
Summary
Council approved a $1,587 wage payment to the Ivanhoe Municipal Liquor Store manager based on a reported $15,870 profit in 2024. Manager Sarah Marczak also reported fundraising and upcoming events and raised a question about health-insurance premium handling to be discussed at renewal time.
At the Jan. 27 Ivanhoe City Council meeting, Ivanhoe Liquor Store Manager Sarah Marczak reported on year-end operations and plans and the council approved a wage payment tied to 2024 profit.
Marczak told the council New Year’s Eve went well, that the store donated $107 and bags of groceries to the local food shelf, and reported net sales of $4,640 for that event. She said inventory is complete and staff are updating the menu and prices. Planned events include a Valentine’s Day prime rib night, an adult prom and a Polish Days street dance in partnership with the Ivanhoe Community Club; Marczak said the Singing Qs will return for an event.
Councilmember Kyle Krier moved and Adam Panka seconded approval of a wage payment of $1,587.00 to the Ivanhoe Municipal Liquor Store manager, calculated on an ILS profit of $15,870.00 for 2024; the minutes record the motion as carried unanimously.
Marczak also asked whether she could receive the employee share of the premium if she did not take the city’s health-insurance plan; the minutes say that question will be discussed when insurance renewals are considered.
The council did not set a schedule for future profit-based payouts at this meeting and did not identify specific budget offsets; those administrative details were not provided in the minutes.
