Greenfield Selectboard adopts new Meeting House fees, sets $75 snack-shack rate for Farmer’s Market
Summary
The Greenfield Selectboard voted 3-0 to adopt revised Meeting House rental fees and set a $75 rental fee for the Oak Park snack shack on Farmer’s Market Sundays; the board also approved routine financial and permit items in a consent agenda vote.
The Greenfield Selectboard voted unanimously on June 10 to adopt new rental rates for the Meeting House and established a $75 rental fee for the snack shack at Oak Park for Farmer’s Market Sundays.
The vote to adopt revised Meeting House fees passed 3-0. The board also set the snack-shack fee “at $75, with a rental process similar to any other renter,” and said details on insurance and security deposits would be provided to interested parties and the Farmer’s Market Committee.
Why it matters: the fees set uniform expectations for town-managed facilities and provide a clear, modest price for small vendors at the popular Farmer’s Market. The action follows a public forum comment earlier in the meeting from Adele Hale, who told the board three parties were interested in operating the snack shack on market days.
What the board did: the Selectboard reviewed the town’s documents for approval, including an accounts-payable register of $341,931.29 and other routine items, and signed the consent agenda by a 3-0 vote on a motion by Selectman Mike Borden, seconded by Selectman George Rainier. The fee changes for the Meeting House were recorded as adopted by unanimous vote.
Context and next steps: the board said it will share finalized fee details and the rental process with Ms. Hale and with the Farmer’s Market Committee. The board’s actions were part of a broader work session that included scheduling and operational items; the meeting adjourned at 7:36 p.m.
