MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 17, 2010
Chair - person Terry Butler called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. Commissioners in
attendance were: Bill Dinsmoor, Mark Zitelli,
Andrew Kole, Don Sheeley and Fred Ayarza. Excused were John Starr and Mark
Goodman.
Saturday Market discussion of fees for local businesses.
Kathy said at the last meeting the board requested that staff find out what the advertising
budget was for 2010. The budget was approximately $5,300.
Andrew said the math comes out to approximately $63. 00 a vendor. This is not based on
size or space. $63. represents 14% of the current fee. Andrew suggested we use 28% on
the fact that they are getting their space basically for free. 28% would come out to $126.
Based on 18 weeks that is $7:00 per week.
Kathy said there are approximately 8 businesses on Hunter and Hyman that might come
out.
Don said the extra money could be used for advertising and entertainment. If businesses
pay a nominal fee they will be responsible.
MOTION: Don moved to approve the fee to be assessed for existing businesses going
out on the street; second by Bill. All in favor.
Fred said next year the CCLC needs to talk to each business coming out and help them
with the design and display of their merchandise in their tents. We were B+ this year and
we need to have a better presence next year.
Bill expressed concerns about how booths are charged etc. Kathy said the market is a
non -profit and can make decisions that better the market. Nothing has to be written in
writing. We move booths around and add booths all summer long.
Heather and Stephen Isberian:
Heather said the market was very good for them. If people didn't want an expensive rug
they bought smaller ones. Some people said they didn't realize where they were and
people also had their rugs cleaned. The first two weeks were difficult until they figured
out the system. Heather thanked the CCLC.
