The Government Operations Committee approved a request from Baker Memorial Church to relocate its weekly farmers market to the former police department parking lot at 211 North Riverside Ave.
Chief Majewski said the organizers request use of the east-side parking lot on Fridays from June through October from about 5 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Booth tents will be limited to 10-by-10 feet, food trucks will be scheduled as available, and Public Works will install signs indicating the closure during event hours. Additional barricades will be stored at the Old Police Department and set up and removed by event volunteers when vendors depart.
Applicants named on the application were Ron Murphy and Carolyn Bridal. When asked about liability and insurance, Majewski said the city will require a certificate of insurance as part of the approval process. The committee approved the property-use and parking-lot closure request on roll call.
