Baker Chamber to handle Memorial Day market vendors; council seeks better wayfinding
Summary
Council authorized the Baker Chamber to administer Memorial Day market vendors under a new online application (with a 10% fee increase). Members asked staff to improve signage and wayfinding after a survey showed many visitors didn't know vendor locations.
Council discussed the Chamber of Commerce's new online vendor application for the Memorial Day market and a 10% fee increase to cover administrative costs; the chair said most of the fee proceeds will go to the chamber for admin but the market still nets more revenue for the city. A member moved to let the Baker Chamber handle vendor management for the Memorial Day market and the motion carried.
Council members raised survey results indicating roughly 80% of respondents did not realize vendors were located at the park area, so they asked staff (Jessica) to develop improved wayfinding and signage for fairgrounds, parks, and vendor locations. Members also asked that vendor sign-up information be posted on the city website and suggested adding an informational voicemail guide while staffing is limited.
