Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a lawsuit brought against the city of Galveston, Texas, by Landry's Restaurants Inc. Explains that the company claims "it was unfairly treated in its bid to manage" Galveston Island Municipal Golf Course. States that "Landry's is accusing the city of tailoring its...request for proposal [RFP] terms in favor of a non-profit organization, which would make the notion of running the golf course unattractice to private businesses." Discusses the RFP terms, which state that "net operating profits would go to a reserve fund to be used for capital improvements, maintenance and operation of the course." States that "whoever winds up managing the golf course...would have to sink at least $2 million into improvements." Concludes that "[Landry's], which also operates the city's convention center, would be in position to package the golf course with its other business interests on the island, including numerous restaurants and hotels." |
