The RFP was issued because three organizations—the Redwood City Kiwanis <br />Club, the Rotary Club and the West Coast Farmers' Market Group—expressed interest in operating a <br />market. All three groups were selected to operate markets but only the Redwood City Kiwanis Club <br />currently operates a farmers market in the Downtown.' <br />1 The Rotary decided to cease operation of a market in the Downtown after one year. The West Coast Farmers' <br />Market operated at the Redwood Shores Public Library until two years ago. Kaiser Hospital has a weekly farmers' <br />market on premise that doesn't not require City permits. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />140 <br />
