FARMERS' MARKET STRUCTURE
City Council approve a resolution authorizing a $90,000 expenditure for a covered
structure to be erected behind the Gazebo on Jenkins Street to be used for the Farmers'
Market, festival activities, and other events.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for the project will come from:
CVB Capital Funds account #179-79155 ($40,000)
Parks & Recreation Electrical, Sprinkler and Landscaping account #174-75015-051
($20,000)
Public Works Infrastructure account #174-43301-090 ($30,000)
BACKGROUND:
At the January 6, 2004 Council Workshop, Council reviewed the plans for the Farmers'
Market Structure at the Gazebo in Town Square. Council accepted the design
presentation and directed the project to move forward to the Historic Preservation
Commission on January 28`h. The Commission approved the attached plan at that
meeting.
The building will be completed in time for the Grapevine Garden Club's annual plant sale
on April 30, 2004. The Farmers will relocate their produce market from the Heritage
Center to Town Square and local citizens will be able to hold Arts and Crafts sales and
other related events in the new Farmers Market Structure.
The initial structure was proposed to be a temporary facility that could be erected and
taken down seasonally. The budgeted cost for this facility was $30,000. In order to
build the better, permanent structure desired, we have increased the amount available to
$90,000. The CVB, Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments will contribute
personnel and funding to help cover the higher cost.
