2003 Farmers' Market
Post-market Vendor's Meeting
Moscow City Hall Council Chambers
The meeting was called to order at 2:40 p.m. by Moscow Arts Commission
Director, Deena Heath. The sign-in sheet indicated the following in
attendance: 22 season pass holders, 5 walk-ons, 5 Moscow Arts Commissioners
and 4 members of the community. (Four letters from season pass holders were
also forwarded for consideration at the meeting.)
The first item on the agenda was addressing the rumor concerning moving the
market to Main Street. Along with various vendors, Deena and Jerry Schutz
of the Downtown Business Association provided their input as to how and why
the rumor might have gotten started. After a long discussion, a vote was
taken to determine the vendor's position on changing locations. The vote
was unanimous to stay in our present location. Deena said she would present
this preference to city staff and council members so they will have the
information should general discussion continue or a specific plan be
presented regarding moving the market. (Negative aspects of move included
interruption of community events such a parades, loading and unloading
issues, shoplifting, blocking Main Street from non-market attending
citizens, traffic/congestion issues...)
Topics presented for discussion this winter included the following:
1. Do we want the market to grow? If yes, what are our alternatives?
A. Discussion with city and downtown businesses as how to facilitate
growth.
2. The market is in need of a strong advisory board to assist in
reviewing, revising and
enforcing policy? What is the appropriate make-up of an advisory board for
the market?
A.Vendors/city staff/Moscow Arts Commission/business/citizen participation?
i. Deena would hope to have a board selected and in place by the first of
the year in order to start addressing issues early.
3. How can we develop more of a partnership between vendors, market
management and the community?
4. Issues that seem to be priority discussion areas after the formation
of an advisory board?
A. How to accommodate walk-ons - enforcement of policy already in place.
i. Share spaces?
ii. Make produce a priority?
B. Resale of items
C. Traffic on Jefferson
i. Contact ISHP/ITD to see if they can assist.
A summary of the meeting will be composed by Deena and reviewed by the five
commissioners in attendance (Peg Godwin, Jim Murphy, Gael Bukvich, Bruce
Livingston and Mark Seman). It will be dispersed to vendors who will be
asked to provide feedback on the major topics of discussion.
