signed up for the ACRA booth. She also mentioned that Martha Rose from

Resolution - Farmers vending agreement
John said we need the come up with the loosest language possible.
The board also agreed that the vending agreement should be with the CCLC
and sub-contracted to the farmers.
Bill pointed out that Peter Forte wants to protect the market.
Mark said his favorite things are the beef steak tomatoes. Stinky sells
flowers could have the tomatoes in mid summer but they aren't allowed to
carry vegetables. Mark feels the farmers are protecting themselves.
Mark said it is wrong the way the selection process for produce vendors is
being administered by the farmers. It is wrong to Ie them govern
themselves. We are looking for vitality at the market.
Bill said he didn't agree with Mark. The decisions and conversations and we
don't need someone else notion is to protect the small farmer to be viable.
They stuck with it to expand their product.
Shae pointed out that all checks should come to the CCLC with one standard
application. She also agreed that the CCLC should be the administer of the
market. The deadline for farmers should be March I. Staff pointed out that
vendors need to know early on whether they have been accepted in order to
design and make their products.
The board discussed whether they should be an LLC or Corporation. John
suggested the market be an LLC with an operating agreement.

John said he would restructuring the contract and bring it back to the CCLC
for review then we should meet with the farmers.
Recycling center - Bill said we need to investigate single stream. It is
unclear why we would spend lmillion dollars and may not make any
substantial inroads in the recycling world.
Shae said recycling doesn't seem to work, or rather the newspapers work in
the recycling bins around town but no one uses the co-mingling. Shae said
the owner of Waste management and Chris from the county dump said
single stream has been tested in Denver and it cost around ten million to set
up. The problem is getting buyers to purchase single stream in this area.
Right now the county makes money on the sell of cardboard but once it
would go into single stream we wouldn't get as much.
Mark said he gave Environmental Health information on recycling that is
done in Nantucket.
Meeting adjourned 10:00 a.ill.
