Market O​​perating Rul​​es

​All vendors and patrons of the market must abide by the ​ Public Market Operating Rules​. We last updated our rules in 2023.

​Public Market Advisory Commission

​The Public Market Advisory Commission (PMAC) serves in an advisory capacity for the benefit of the market. PMAC is currently made up of two market vendors, two regular customers, and one neighborhood representative. Commission meetings are held at 5:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. All regular meetings and ​​work sessions are open to the public and will take place virtually with the exception of up to four meetings that will take place in person on the dates chosen by PMAC members. The latest meeting agendas and minutes, as well as the video recordings of previous PMAC​ meetings, are all available online. ​​

Market Infrastructure Improvem​ent Project

Proposed improvements focus on strategies to winterize the market to expand vendor stall capacity all year. The project is intended to serve the community as the market evolves and continues to provide a critical outlet for local food. In 2017, a proposal for a new market building was put out for bid and came back over budget. Consequently, staff searched for more affordable alternatives. In early 2020, Market staff presented a proposal for roll down sides to provide shelter from the elements and overhead heating in a small portion of the market. Due to pandemic-related increases in materials costs and A2Zero energy-use constraints, it is unclear if the 2020 proposal is currently feasible. Market staff continues to explore alternative options to winterize the market. ​​​
