Council reduces farmers‑market fees to attract vendors; one abstention noted on appointment
Summary
By resolution the council lowered vendor fees for the borough farmers market to encourage participation; one council member abstained from a separate appointment to the market advisory committee due to a conflict.
Council adopted a change to the farmers‑market fee schedule on Aug. 12, with council member Strickland describing the amendment as an effort to make vendor costs lower so more vendors will attend.
"The vending schedule is making it cheaper so that vendors can come to the farmers market and that we can get more vendors," Strickland said as she presented Resolution 24‑241. The council voted in favor; Council member Hay was recorded as abstaining from a related advisory‑committee appointment because of a vendor conflict.
Council members also praised Evelyn Campo in finance for stepping up to oversee market operations on site for the remainder of the season and encouraged residents to visit the market.
