The ad hoc committee formed in August to find an operator for the Clinton marina restaurant will present information about a potential candidate during Tuesday’s Committee-of-the-Whole meeting. The meeting will immediately follow the City Council meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
The identity of the potential candidate has not been revealed, but the committee will ask council members to place the issue on the agenda for a regular Council meeting to begin negotiating a lease agreement.
The restaurant, which has room to seat 200 people inside and another 100 people on a deck that overlooks the new Clinton marina and the Mississippi River, remained unopened all summer as city officials worked to find an operator for the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is not finished because city officials wanted to let the restaurant operator make decisions about the interior design.
Jim Golinvaux, who has 45 years of restaurant experience and served as an advisor to the committee, told council members in August it would take nine to 11 months to get the restaurant opened once an operator had been chosen.
