1. Meeting was called to order at 2:15 p.m...
2. Potential Rental Charge Restructuring
• Staff surveyed other Farmers’ Markets to look at their rental rates and Market needs to raise rates. Proposed rate is a flat $55 for Saturday and Sunday, with no summer/winter rate differential.
• There was discussion by members present which included suggestions to charge a higher rate to those only renting for part of the year.
• Food vendors currently pay varying costs. The Market is looking at a flat rate of $100 with vendors signing a contract. Vendors will need to pay monthly by check. Annual contracts are preferred, but seasonal 6-month contracts may be considered.
3. Fencing of the Market
• The Market will be fenced to deal with safety issues and to curb graffiti and vandalism. Current plans call for 3 gates across the entrances only.
4. Phase Two of Market Repaving
• Second phase of the Market repaving may cost close to $385,000 or more. There are ADA requirements that need to be met – ADA ramps and ground bumps/marker. Some work will be done at the end of June and some at the end of July.
5. Food Vendor RFP number of spaces available
6. General Public Comments (3 minutes each) No Comments
