Saturday Market
Chris said the CCLC is in charge and there is a five year renewal vending
agreement. It is automatically renewable for that five-year period.
The CCLC booths will leased from the farmers market due to liability. The
farmers market has the vending agreement for the entire area. CCLC booths
can be combined. Each year the farmers will report to CCLC how much
space is taken up by May 1st. If the entire market is taken up then CCLC
would have to request the physical expansion of the market which is a
public hearing. Council also wants at the end of the year a report how the
market worked and possible amendments. There is also an appeal process
from farmers to CCLC, which is a final hearing.
Andrew thought the expansion should have been approved ahead of time
and Chris explained about the public hearing process and notification to
neighbors. The bathroom situation is still under discussion.
The board is in favor of moving forward with the public hearing regarding
the use of the park for music, music students and adopt a pet.
Andrew said we need to know the size of the booths.
Eric said the Park has to go through a public hearing. The concept of the
music has been approved but who wants to put music in a booth. The music
needs to be in the park. Chris said the Parks Dept. needs to know where the
tent will be set up.
Chris said the fee for the booths can be passed on to the person in the booth.
Kathy Strickland, Chief Deputy Clerk said the vending agreement has been
drawn up and she is working on an application for the individuals applying
for the booth. There will be signup sheets for each weekend and they will
be distributed to Jack.
Eric said Jack needs to be with us on the park expansion.
