EDA RESOLUTION NO. 2018-05
RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A
SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE IST SATURDAY MARKET PLACE
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Authority of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota ("EDA") is authorized pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.090 to
469.1081 to provide for and promote economic development activities within the City of
Brooklyn Center ("City"); and
WHEREAS, the 1st Saturday Market Place ("Market") is proposed as a means of
providing an open air business incubator for entrepreneurs located in the City, and those who
may be interested in establishing a business in the City, to display and sell their products; and
WHEREAS, the Market is proposed to be located either at the former Jerry's
Foods property with on-site parking, or at the Brookdale Health property with off-site parking at
the adjacent Cub Foods ("the selected site, the "Market Site"); and

from the immigrant populations, do not have the financial resources required to establish a
traditional storefront business and so the Market will provide residents an opportunity to display
and sell their products at the Market without charge; and

("Agreement") between the EDA and Lennie Chism ("Contractor") set out the terms and
conditions under which the Contractor will conduct the Market in exchange for financial support,
not to exceed $25,000, from the EDA; and
WHEREAS, the EDA desires to approve the Agreement and authorize its
execution once the Contractor has satisfied the conditions precedent identified below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioner of the
Economic Development Authority of City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota ("Board") as follows:
The Board hereby approves the Agreement and authorizes its execution once
the Executive Director determines the Contractor has satisfied following

Delivery of a fully executed agreement with Cub Foods for the use of
