Public Market

The City has authorized the Lake Mills Main Street Program to establish, supervise and maintain the Wednesday open air public market in the Commons. The Lake Mills Main Street Program is considering hiring or contracting for the actual operations of the market.
The Lake Mills Main Street Program is proposing to setup stalls and require seasonal or daily stall permits. The payments will pay the cost of a Market Manager who will supervise the market during hours of operation, site management and financial management.
The selling of permits means the City should require the Lake Mills Main Street Program to run the market in compliance with all pertinent health and regulatory codes of the City, State and United States. The Market Manager should encourage the County Health Department, Building Inspector and Fire Inspector to make inspections on a regular basis. If any of these Departments finds any violations the Market Manager should revoke the sellers permit.
The stalls should be setup to not block the normal use of sidewalks during the event. The Market Manager should be responsible for maintaining a neat and clean commons area. The City may want to consider requiring the Lake Mills Main Street Program provide proof of Liability Insurance indemnifying the City.
