DATE: March 1, 2006
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: VillageFest Board
SUBJECT: Establishing Certified Farmers' Market at VillageFest
ACTION: Receive and File
The VillageFest Board requests that City Council establish a Certified Farmers'
Market within the weekly VillageFest street fair.
At its February 14 regular meeting, the VillageFest Board unanimously voted (5/0)
to recommend that City Council establish a Certified Farmers' Market within the
weekly VillageFest street fair.
Staff investigated the certification requirements for creating a Certified Farmers'
Market with the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner's Office and reported
the findings to the VillageFest Board. Specific and ongoing compliance
requirements for certification are attached.
Aside from recruiting certified farmers to participate at VillageFest, certain
administrative functions need to be created and adhered to by the City. Staff will
work with the VillageFest Board to adopt a set of Certified Farmers' Market rules
and will seek adoption of those rules at a future date when the entire VillageFest
Rules and Regulations are brought forth to City Council for amending. Every week,
staff will be required to monitor each farmer's certification status and collect a 600
market participation fee on behalf of the Department of Food and Agriculture. Each
vendor must submit a load sheet every week, noting what products that vendor will
sell that evening. These load sheets and the weekly market participation fees are
then submitted to the Department of Food and Agriculture on a quarterly basis.
The administrative impact of this is unknown at this time. It is expected to be
minimal and worth the added value that a Certified Farmers' Market will bring to
VillageFest.
The City will be required to pay an annual certification fee to the Department of
Food and Agriculture of $54.

The Basic plan / map for the DHS Certified Farmers Market:
The farmers would have their booths on the EAST side of the NORTH bound lane
-- and on the EAST side of the SOUTH bound lane. This would allow them to have
shade from their vehicle and still be protected from wind (which is less in this part
of town, due to the placement of the buildings).
The Artisans / crafts people would have their booths on the WEST side of the
north and south bound lanes — as their materials are not as affected by the sun.
Norm-profit groups or folks having information would set up across the NORTH and
SOUTH side of Palm - across the 2 North bound lanes.
Bakery items and the information booth for the farmer's market will be across the
NORTH side of Palm — across the 2 South bound lanes.
This basic rectangular formation will allow maximum use of the four lanes of road,
plus allow people to walk down the middle of the streets, and the sidewalks
behind the booths. Several of the business% have offered to be open and make
their restrooms available (thank you to all of those business owneisil j.

�4" COMMISSION/BOARD REQUEST
DATE: March 1, 2006
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: VillageFest Board
SUBJECT: VillageFest Board - Scope of Authority
ACTION: Receive and File
Some members of the VillageFest Board have expressed a desire to broaden their
scope of authority to include functions, powers and duties that exceed those
outlined in the City's Municipal Code. The Palm Springs Municipal Code Section
2.22.050, Functions, power and duties, stipulates that the board serves in an
advisory and administrative capacity to the City Council. The board's primary duties
are to review and jury vendor applications and interpret the VillageFest rules as
needed.
The board is seeking to broaden its scope of authority by creating committees (list
attached) to oversee functions; the oversight responsibility is current assigned to
City staff. To satisfy the board's desire to become more involved in promoting
VillageFest, City staff has given the board administrative oversight of all marketing
and advertising functions this past year, in addition to substantial budget increases
to accommodate its enhanced promotion for the event.,
In reviewing the list of proposed committees, Department of Parks and Recreation
staff, in accordance with the opinions of the City Attorney and City Clerk, believes
this action would create standing committees within the VillageFest Board and
exceed the functions, powers and duties as set forth in the Municipal Code.
Standing committees can be subject to the provisions of the Brown Act and all
committee meetings would then require posting, minute taking, and attendance by
City staff. Committees of this nature could not be considered "ad hoc" due to their
scope and authority.
