Staff has recently reviewed the recommendations of the P1aceMaking Task Farce with <br />~ <br />I the directors of each market. We also asked them to identify any new issues, <br /> The attached table provides an update on each of the recommendations and, when applicable, offers new <br /> information. The Saturday Market's top priority would be an increase in electrical service capacity, <br />I Unfortunately, the current electrical panel is now maxed out and while the cost of adding new service has <br />x not been determined, we know it will be very expensive. The other request from Saturday Market is a <br /> dower priority, They would like to see the removal of some of the permanent benches on the east block, <br /> because they conflict with the use of the space by food vendors. <br /> The Farmers Market primarily operates on the County-owned portions of the Park Blocks that are north of <br /> 8~' Avenue. Many of Farmers Market requests have already been addressed. Other requests maybe <br /> resolved later this year in conjunction with the County's redesign of the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza. <br /> Please contact me at 682-5533 or via email (Richie.d.weinman@ci.eugene.or.us) if you have additional <br />'' questions or need additional information. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
