Summary
Council appointed Tom (surname not specified) as interim manager through March 31, 2026, increased his pay to the manager rate, extended Holman Consulting through Dec. 31, 2025, and approved a point-of-sale deployment with up to $5,000 in initial deployment/labeling costs.
Council voted to appoint the current assistant (Tom) as interim liquor-store manager through March 31, 2026 and to increase his hourly rate to the manager scale ($34.11/hour). Staff also recommended and council approved extending Holman Consulting’s contract through Dec. 31, 2025 to support the transition and ongoing coaching.
Council discussed staffing tradeoffs and whether adding consultant hours would risk repeating prior staffing-cost problems; staff said the consultant contract is a transition tool and they do not intend it to be permanent. Council also approved a new point-of-sale system (recommended cutover Oct. 1 if deployment proceeds) and capped initial deployment expenses — labels and deployment buffer — at $5,000. Staff reported expected annual savings in credit-card fees and improved inventory integration under the new system.
