(ERFM), for use of the Farmers' Market Pavilion. The Pavilion <br />is located within the County's River Park and is just south of East Margaret Lane behind the <br />Orange County District Attorney's office. <br />On March 13, 2012 Orange County and the ERFM agreed to a one year amendment of this <br />agreement. The amendment included some changes, most notably a clause stipulating <br />payment by the ERFM to Orange County for use of the Pavilion two days each week during the <br />term of the agreement. The agreed upon rate was $500 for the year. <br />A new draft license agreement (attached) continues the $500 annual rate for an additional three <br />years. The agreement also stipulates (at the Market's suggestion) that the ERFM will use the <br />Pavilion only once per week (on Saturdays from 6.00am to 1:00 pm). The Agreement excludes <br />Hog Day weekend, but adds three additional Saturday periods for special events. In total, the <br />number of events does not exceed 54 in a given year. Otherwise, no substantive change from <br />the amendment was made. <br />The County will be responsible for utilities, restroom cleanup, and routine site maintenance. <br />ERFM will be responsible for removing solid waste and recyclable content from the on site <br />containers after each event, as well as a general sweeping of the pavilion floor and a general <br />litter policing of the area. <br />
