BOCC Rules of Procedure— Revised Booklet <br /> This item was removed and placed at the end of the consent agenda for separate <br /> consideration. <br /> VOTE ON CONSENT AGENDA: UNANIMOUS <br /> 6. Items Removed from Consent Aaenda <br /> i License Renewal for Farmers' Market Pavilion — Eno River Farmers' <br /> Market, Inc. <br /> The Board considered renewal of the license agreement for the Eno River Farmers' <br /> Market Inc., for use of the Farmers' Market Pavilion through March 31, 2015 (existing <br /> agreement expires April 1, 2012) and authorizing the Chair to sign. <br /> Lisa Pope is the treasurer of the Farmer's Market and said that they are looking at the <br /> proposed fee structure for usage of the facility. She said that the structure, as proposed, would <br /> pose a financial hardship on the market itself. The current budget for the year with over$1,000 <br /> in fees would put the market in a deficit. She said that the prior market contract for the first <br /> three years of usage suggested that the contract could be reviewed and possibly renewed <br /> under the same terms if the County sees fit. This prior agreement waived any fees for the <br /> market for the usage. Since the building was built on a grant, the operating expenses are <br /> minimal. She said that they would appreciate being able to use the facility with no fees, but if <br /> that is not an option, they would suggest a flat rate of$500 per year for all times suggested <br /> (mid-week and Saturday market). The current fee structure is reasonable for groups that <br /> occasionally use the facility (wedding receptions, etc.), but it becomes a financial burden on the <br /> farmers to have that fee paid on a weekly basis. <br /> Austin Genhe spoke on the benefit of the market to the downtown area. He said that it <br /> is a vital part of the community. <br />
