6. Discussion and/or action on Farmer’s Market Eligibility and Standard Operating
Procedures (on recording https://youtu.be/vYWT-QjEC7E?t=87
Pinsonneault asked what was paid to the market manager. Hodell responded about
$600. Maloney responded how does it get figured out how much is to be paid and who
is to do the work and how the work is done. Trautman said that the procedures can be
changed. There was no other way to compensate but to provide gift cards.
Pinsonneault asked if there could be something in the budget for a dollar amount for a
wage, like a weekly wage. Trautman said that someone would have to be officially
hired by the Board. Maloney said that it could be a separate entity or the Village, but
we would have to decide how we want to handle the market. Maloney inquired about
the tokens that are used for people who only have a credit card to use and get tokens
to purchase merchandise. Hodell said that there is a fee charged to cover our fees.
Trautman said it was a $3 fee. Ermeling said her concern was that there is not one
person in charge and that staff is spending lots of time at the farmer’s market. Cronin
said that the fees are too low and that we could double the yearly fee. Maloney said
that vendors should be told now for the 2024 year that the fees will be increased.
Motion by Pinsonneault, second by Cronin to have staff look at creating a market
manager position whether it is subcontractor or village employee for the 2024
farmers market with Renee Hodell still being involved and adjusting our farmers
market rates for 2024. Motion carried.

Donner distributed the updated bid tabulation. Maloney asked how high the salt is
stored. Maloney asked how big the existing salt shed was. Donner said that it is
comparable to what is being proposed. Discussion was held where the structure would
be located. Cronin said that there would only be access on one end of the shed and

how would we use it. Pinsonneault asked if we enter from both ends on our current
one. Donner said no. Pinsonneault asked if it was needed to enter on both ends.
Donner said If we stored cold patch on the other end, then we would need to get in that
side. Maloney had questions regarding the architectural and engineering fees.
Discussion was held regarding placement of the building and moving the building in the
best place for access. Wallenkamp said that if the building was moved more to the
south, there would be more backup alarms where neighbors can hear those. Contract
will be approved but discussion of placement will be held at the next board meeting
more with Public Works Director Wodalski.
Motion by Cronin, second by Ermeling to approve revise bid 3 with manual door
with a dollar amount not to exceed $506,600 with placement of the salt shed to
be determined at the next board meeting in conjunction with Director Woldalski
and further discussion on electrical at that time. Motion carried.
