Council extends Wine Hardware lease for five years
Summary
Council members voted to extend a five-year lease with Wine Hardware, with council praise for the local business's offerings and partnership with the city.
The Walnut Creek City Council voted Jan. 21 to extend a five-year lease with Wine Hardware, a downtown retail business noted by council members for its specialty wine racks, refrigerators and other home goods.
Council member DeFinney praised Wine Hardware owner Michael Vecchia and described the store’s unique merchandise, including multifunctional wine-barrel furniture. After brief council remarks, a motion to approve the five-year extension was made and seconded; the council adopted the item in a roll-call vote with all members present voting aye.
The nut graf: the lease extension won broad support from council as part of the consent calendar and was described as supporting local small-business vitality downtown. Staff said the action renews the existing lease for a five-year period under the terms presented in the agenda materials.
Council members noted Wine Hardware as a downtown retail partner and congratulated the owner on the renewal. The council approved the consent-calendar measure by roll-call vote; the motion carried unanimously.
