A joint meeting was called to order at 6:30 P.M. by Mayor Ackland.

Discussion pertained to a new site in 1991 for the Farmers Market
and the problems encountered during the summer of 1990 at its
present location. Skip Quade presented a proposal for a structure
in the park across from the proposed Shopko store. He stated that
Shopko representatives were favorable of the market location and
use of their parking lot. The advantages and disadvantages were
discussed.
It was reported that the MAINSTREET Committee was saving money for
the purpose of building a structure to house the market. The esti-

The consensus was to wait until January 8, 1991 when the Phase II
Shopko project proposals are submitted. At that time plans can be
formulated regarding the future location of Farmers Market.
