Mr. Childs reiterated that the liquor manager estimates the start up costs would run between $60 ,000: and. $75 ,000 depending on the size of the walk-in cooler which is installed. However, Mr. Nelson also believes there would be no problem with moving the cooler to - another location if sales prove to be as satisfactory as projected and the redevelopment project for that center advances to the state where the facility would have to be moved. Councilman" Ranallo questioned whether. a 60 foot cooler could be moved that easily but indicated he would favor a one year lease and would like to see the facility. in . operation by October 1st, even before the cooler is installed, . if necessary, so the public could become fully aware of its existence well in advance of the holiday season.
