1: The 24/7 won't work. None of us that live here stay up that late and who is going to pay "our staff" to keep the building open and what about building security out of the restaurant? We have no security guards (other than when activities sends them to an event to make sure one senior does not attack another LOL)
2: If you remember the last time gaming was discussed several years ago, I contacted gaming control and was told that we could have to take measures to make sure that our private area was sealed off from the public are if gaming was in the restaurant/bar.
That would mean:
(a) the restroom, at least the ladies, would need something like a key-card entry for the back door that opens into the gallery.
(b) a gate of some kind as you enter the gallery with key card entry because I'm sure we don't want a guard there to keep "public" out of our resident area.
(c) locks on the doors from the outside leading into Anthem Center other than the reception area changed to key-card entry.
(d) all 7,144 resident membership cards changed to ones so that WE COULD GAIN ACCESS TO THE KEY-CARD ENTRY unless of course someone has a better idea.
As you said, Village Pub is the only offer that made sense, the other two are insulting, $1 per year, REALLY?From Buddy Greenfield...to...Anthem Opinions

Definition of an amenity?
An Amenity for Who????
SCA or the surrounding neighborhood?
Does our charter allow our amenity to include NON RESIDENTS?
Do we need a vote or just the attorney saying it is in the best interest of SCA and voting is not required.
Do we need extra liability insurance for our center since it is open to the public?
Separate entrance?
Safety of adjacent space(Anthem Center)?
Will Village Pub be financially responsible any damage or vandalism to Anthem Center?
How can we be assured that visitors do not wander in Anthem Center?

You brought up some great points about even why we would have a restaurant here.
I do take exception to Henderson not patrolling here. I was told by two officers, one on days and one on swing, that they do ride around our streets.
Wonder if they're pulling my leg?From Barbara Snell...to...Anthem Opinions

Remember.....Vic Vegas?.......our last restaurant attempt......taking out trees on the Anthem terrace to improve the view...the evening Vic locked everyone out of the kitchen, including maintenance, because of an oven door malfunction during one of his free dinners...the Vic on a billboard on 215 and St Rose Parkway advertising him at our restaurant, but no address....then no Vic and only 2 restaurant employees to serve expensive and time consuming meals from a much smaller menu.
If that restaurant space conversion into Club, exercise, Committee, Board, meeting rooms etc, residents would still be using the area today. The space would not have sat vacant for such a long time and without all the expense of moving the last restaurant and company out.

Another thing to consider is exclusivity that ALL clubs must use the tenant for catering.
That does not bode well for different types of food for different club events, especially the ethnic clubs.
Of course - think of all the kick-backs !

I find that concerning.
