[Vision2020] The Animal Farmer's Market --Proposed Market Policies

[Donovan Arnold]

I think they should have a few times in the dogs daze of Summer where the Farmer's Market should be called The Animal Farmer's Market and allow people with animals to take them to the Downtown Farmer's Market. This way, the Farmer's Market can celebrate and embrace animals by including pet owners and their pets but still keep them separate from others on different days that have misgivings of sharing tight quarters with unknown animals and their children and allergies. Moscow has always been an inclusive community, and I think it should stay that way. Just my thoughts on the matter, anyways.

February 16, 2012 (Moscow, Idaho) – The City of Moscow is accepting comments on the currently proposed Farmers Market Policies, located at www.ci.moscow.id.us/art/fm/market_feedback.aspx or available in hardcopy at the City Clerk’s office in City Hall, 206 E Third Street, suite 303.  
 
Policies regarding the Farmers Market were reviewed by the Administrative Committee on February 13, 2012 and forwarded to the City Council for consideration during their February 21 meeting with the exception of two proposals.  Those proposals include policies entitled “Animals” – the proposed policy to limit the allowance of animals in the Market to service animals and “Promoters” – The process to manage the location used during Market hours for local arts, philanthropic, charitable, non-profit, social, and similar purposes to allow individuals and groups to share their message or opportunity.  These two proposals will be considered by the Administrative Committee on February 27, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. in Council Chambers.  
 
Those interested in providing comments regarding the two excluded proposals, “Animals” and “Promoters” to be considered by the Administrative Committee on February 27, may do so on the web at www.ci.moscow.id.us/art/fm/market_feedback.aspx or in writing to the City Clerk Stephanie Kalasz at skalasz at ci.moscow.id.us.

	1. Market Policies to be considered by City Council on February 21; excluding the proposals of “Animals” and “Promoters”;
	2. The proposed “Animals” and “Promoters” policies;
	3. A proposed map of the Farmers Market area that shows possible Friendship Square and Fountain Place spaces;
