`I 5.1 Discussion in concept of Farmers Market at Town Hall Hubbard commented on the possibility of having a Farmers Market at Town Hall. This could not only provide a meeting place for neighbors but could also address some of the problems raised by the selling of produce on individual properties. Hubbard also commented that the Second Harvest Food Bank would pick up the excess produce on Mondays. Hubbard suggested the establishment of a committee to discuss this possibility with the neighbors and also to look into the legal ramifications. The possibility of using Bullis School was also raised. Although Johnson agreed with further discussion of a Farmers Market, he believed it was an administrative nightmare involving setting up stalls, limiting number of stalls, cleaning up, etc. Council commented that this would not be run by staff but rather by volunteers. It was noted that Town resident Nancy Couperus was in charge of the Menlo Park Farmers Market and it was suggested she would be an excellent source of information on the establishment of such a Farmers Market. It was agreed Mrs. Couperus would be contacted and asked to meet with the Council at a Council Meeting to discuss this issue. The neighbors of Town Hall would also be invited for their input. 6.
