Riley said there is 32 feet on one end and 37 feet on the other end.
Bill asked what the average square footage is for a four top is. Kathy to check with
Engineering. What is the maximum occupancy for the center?.
Bill said we need to talk about the goal. We need a summertime experience to
make it exciting. Public spaces area for the benefit of our guests.
Siam said she feels Hops is out of balance. We need to balance the center. We
need the same amount of square footage and density seating for the center of the
Hyman mall.
Bill said public space should not be used for storage. This is a public space. Get
tables and chairs out per the mall lease for the public to use.
Riley said set up is 9:00 a.m. for the public to use.
Kathy said the clerk's office is working on an infraction paper.
Bill said possibly do fewer restaurants in the center. Each server can handle 15 to
20 people per sitting.
Bill said if your address is on the mall you should be able to apply for outside mall
seating.
Kiki suggested a three year lease because tables and chairs need to be purchased
etc.
Riley asked if it is legal to auction off public space? Can one sell a mall lease if
someone wants to sell it.
Another idea would be a lottery
CCLC could pick the appropriate restaurants
Another idea would be bidding for the space
Bill said longevity as a business is what we want to encourage. How are we going
to weight things out. What is valuable and best for the guest?
Food
Liquor
Full service
