Bosco’s Marketplace allowed to operate weekly under one‑year amendment

City of Oak Forest City Council · July 28, 2026

Summary

The council approved a one‑year amendment to Bosco's Marketplace LLC's farmers market license to move from bi‑weekly to weekly operations, with a review after one year; the resolution passed 5–0 with two absent.

Assistant Director Paul Ruane presented an amendment to the farmers market license for Bosco's Marketplace LLC to operate weekly rather than bi‑weekly, saying the change followed council discussion and confirmation from the market manager that weekly operations were feasible.
