6.G. - Page 2 of 22 <br />The Redwood City Kiwanis Club Farmers' Market has operated a farmers' market in Redwood City for forty <br />years and is a Certified Farmers' Market (all produce and vegetables are grown in California). The market <br />currently operates on Arguello Street between Marshall Street and a point approximately 530 feet <br />northwest toward Brewster Avenue, and on Bradford Street from Arguello Street to a point approximately <br />150 feet northeast (to mid -block) toward Warren. The market operates on Saturday mornings from April <br />to November from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. It is a very popular community event that offers fresh fruits and <br />vegetables, other unique food products, arts and crafts, handbags and jewelry. <br />Because the farmers market is a recurring weekly event, a Revocable License Agreement with the <br />Redwood City Kiwanis Club was approved by the City Council on March 19, 2012 to allow them to operate <br />a farmers' market at the City's Winslow Parking Lot at the corner of Hamilton and Winslow Streets. <br />The agreement was amended in 2013 to allow the market to relocate to Arguello Street and Bradford <br />Street to allow the Winslow Parking Lot to be used for staging for a construction project. The amended <br />license agreement expired on March 19, 2015. Per the terms of the agreement, the Kiwanis did not <br />request renewal of the agreement and the renewal date was overlooked due to staff turnover. In August <br />of 2018, staff notified a representative of the Redwood City Kiwanis Club that the 2013 Revocable License <br />Agreement had expired. A new Revocable License Agreement and a Resolution for a temporary street <br />closure are required for the Kiwanis Farmers' Market to open in April 2019. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The Redwood City Kiwanis Club plans to open their 2019 Farmers Market on Saturday, April 20th. In <br />addition to this license agreement, the Redwood City Kiwanis Club is required to obtain or submit: <br />• Certificate of Insurance and Endorsement against claims for injuries to persons or damage to <br />property which may arise out of or in connection with the use of the farmers' market area by the <br />licensee or its agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors <br />• Certificate of Insurance and Endorsement for Commercial General Liability Insurance with a <br />minimum limit of $2,000,000 for each occurrence. <br />• Certificate of Insurance and Endorsement for Automobile Liability with a minimum limit of <br />$1,000,000 for each accident. <br />• Payment of a refundable security deposit in the amount of $2,000. <br />• Traffic Control Plan <br />• List of events at the market, including date, duration, description and estimated attendance. This <br />information needs to be submitted on July 15, October 15, January 15, and April 1 of each year. <br />• List of vendors that includes name, address, contact information, items to be sold and minimum <br />number of vendors to participate at market event submitted on July 15, October 15, January 15, <br />and April 1 of each year. The Kiwanis Club must apply annually for a permit to operate from the <br />San Mateo County Agriculture/Weights and Measures and submit quarterly California <br />Department of Food and Agriculture state reports that includes lists of vendors. Copies of the <br />permit and the state reports will be submitted quarterly to the City, which will fulfill the <br />requirements of the license agreement. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />141 <br />
