At the February 19, 2008 Board of County Commissioners meeting the Manager recommended that the Board establish a Orange County Farmer's Market Interim Oversight Committee made up of five individuals to review the operations of the Market and to serve as the reviewing body of any complaint lodged by a vendor or a member of the public as to the operation of the Public Market. Members of the interim oversight committee will not be permitted to vend at the Market.

Members of the Committee shall not sell at the Market or have a financial interest in any product sold at the Market. The Committee shall sunset on or before February 19, 2009 as determined by the Board of County Commissioners, if not sooner.
