We hope these comments will fall on fertile ground resolving a vacant feeling at the Farmer's Market. For many years, Medicare for All Indiana Bloomington, formerly known as Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan, has had a booth in Information Alley, paying ahead for the whole season. Our booth has been well attended by market patrons by having many deep and important conversations about healthcare with people who live in the Bloomington area, other regions around Indiana, the US, and indeed, international students and visitors. COVID restricted our being at the market. Last year, the days the market was open for Information Alley, it frequently rained, so we cancelled several times. Today was our first day back for 2023. Information Alley felt like a ghost town. No food vendors and only two other booths, the Dems and the ballet students. What was missing was the spirit of a bustling market with people buying bread, coffee, tea, pastries, savory eggs and tamales. When we asked about the empty food area, we were told that it's the vendor fees keeping vendors out. We've been hearing this for many years. The popularity of the food vendors goes hand in hand with the market growers. Market growers we spoke with this morning expressed the same attitude. Each group, the food vendors and market growers, support the other in bringing people to the market. If in fact, it's the fee, then we believe that the decision is penny wise and pound foolish from what we witnessed today. The market is dull without the bustling food vendor area. The identity of Bloomington having a thriving farmers market is an asset to the entire community. We're curious just how much money is involved with fees for the food vendors. Are they being asked to subsidize the market without setting up in the heart of the market with covered space? How much do the total fees collected from food vendors add to the Parks and Recreation budget? And is the fee worth the alienation of food vendors in the long run? We look forward to hearing your response.

Pls charge food vendors the same as produce booths. I want to see them back to what once was our thriving Saturday market. Thanks!

I just find it unacceptable that members of the city council can’t for some reason show up in person for a city council meeting. I just can’t wrap my head around in 2023 that we are still doing zoom? I don’t see this happening anywhere in other forms of government meetings. I would like to see the city end this policy. I wish I could go to work via zoom but like the majority of individuals, I have to show up in person.

The fees for food vendors are too high and are driving vendors away from the market. That also means that the market is less interesting to patrons. The local food vendors are important to those who come. Please lower these fees.

Please do away with the percent fee system for food and beverage vendors at the farmers market. It's not fair for them to have a different rate than the farmers and they bring lots of customers to the market, in addition to adding a large variety of food choices.

On the webpage that describes the features of each City Park, Crestmont Park has nothing listed. As to avoid the appearance of bias against the low-income (ahem!), please fix this. Thank you.
