The signing

of a company to lease restaurant space on the second floor of the new

building at Peachtree City's tennis center is almost a done deal.

At a special

called meeting Tuesday night, the authority authorized Chairman Tate Godfrey

and Executive Director Virgil Christian to execute the contract with a

few changes to the original. The contract will be with the same restaurant

group that operates Valentino's restaurant at the Braelinn Village shopping

center.

The authority

discussed the contract in executive (closed) session before approving

the contract.

The restaurant

area was part of the plan for the new building, with indoor and outdoor

seating. The outdoor area will show a view over several tennis courts.

One of the

changes lengthened the contract from six months to 364 days. Another change

required that the "gold series sponsorship" to the amphitheater

that's part of the contract is contingent upon the restaurant group not

defaulting on the contract.

Before the

vote on the contract was taken, authority member Scott Bradshaw had asked

it to be tabled until the authority's next meeting. But his motion to

that extent died for lack of a second.

Instead, Bradshaw

was asked to voice his concerns with Godfrey and Christian before they

signed the deal.
