greater number of screens would allow a wider variety of films to be
shown, including foreign films. He said the restaurant would be a
"Sizzler."
Mayor Smith said she would like to have a better restaurant in Arroyo

was adequate. He also said Festival Enterprises should consider a more
upscale restaurant than a "Sizzler."

felt the project was economically feasible. Council Member Johnson said

restaurant. Mayor Smith said she had no objection to the expansion, and
