II. OPEN FORUM Hugh Ed expressed concern about masks shown in social media & shared information on car charging fees elsewhere. He also expressed concern about competition from Medicare Advantage and shared thoughts on recycling, reduction of waste, and a modification to sales items.
III. GM REPORT GM Comments William updated the board on recent bridge and traffic news and his hopes that sales will improve with better weather. Internet TV ads & a mailer will go out to Gulf Breeze customers when the bridge reopens. Good news for January: We are “flat” on cash flow for P & L. Capital expenses still need to be made so we are still in a negative position. We are working to see if we are eligible for a payroll tax deduction for which we may be eligible. The city & county both issued proclamations for today to be declared National Supermarket Employees Day in Pensacola & Escambia County per William’s request. The celebration included breakfast for the employees. William shared staff updates.
