The discussion may include all aspects of the Sunday Farmer’s Market and the potential business relationship with the Museum, and is geared to producing a decision with the California Heritage Museum so the results can either be brought back to the MSBIA Board or to the  MSBIA Attorney, then back to the Board ultimately for Board approval. The result of the discussion and any action taken by the sub-committee may also result in pursuing checking in with MSBIA attorney as a preliminary but not final step or final work with the attorney in this idea stage of the planning and negotiating process. The Sub-Committee may make decisions and take action to move forward the planning and process but is not empowered to make any final decisions for the Board/Association.
