Sustainability board picks tentative farmers‑market dates, asks staff to reserve slots
Summary
Board members selected preferred dates for volunteering at the Oshkosh farmers market and asked staff to check availability with the city: the group prioritized June 21, one August date (Aug. 9 or Aug. 16) and Oct. 11 as a backup.
During the May 5 meeting, the Oshkosh City Sustainability Advisory Board settled on tentative dates for volunteering at the city’s farmers market and directed staff to check site availability and submit preferred dates to city scheduling.
Emma (staff member) reported availability responses and said the group’s most viable dates were June 21, one of two August dates (Aug. 9 or Aug. 16) and October 11, with Oct. 25 listed as an alternative. Board members favored June 21 as a possible early‑summer outreach opportunity and discussed staffing constraints as the weather improves, noting some members are also contacted for stormwater events on short notice.
Members agreed to submit two preferred dates to the city to secure a booth and to use the farmers market as an outreach venue for composting and other surveys. Emma said she would check the city schedule and send paperwork once the board confirmed which August date to reserve. No formal vote was taken; the group confirmed dates by consensus and tasked Emma with the scheduling and paperwork.
