Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 40-9-2-.01 - Assignment of Space and Collection of Fees
(1) All farmers, producers, merchants, day
laborers and others using any Markets must contact the Market Manager of such
Market or his representative, before making deliveries, engaging in business or
occupying space on the Market. The Market Manager may require that all day
laborers seeking independent employment on a Farmers' Market must register with
the Market Manager. The Market Manager will designate a space or area for
laborers to assemble while awaiting employment.
(2) The Market Manager of a Market or his
representative will assign space and collect fees according to a published
schedule. Each Market Manager shall have the authority to issue a "Schedule of
Fees" to be charged subject to approval of the Commissioner of Agriculture, and
to alter, amend, or suspend any part of all such fees, subject to approval of
the Commissioner of Agriculture. The published "Schedule of Fees" will cover
all vehicles entering the Market to sell or deliver its contents.
(3)
Fees shall be collected at
the gate on all loaded vehicles. Failure to purchase and obtain gate tickets
when required under the Act or these Rules will constitute proper grounds for
revocation or suspension of a license and the right to conduct any type of
business at the Markets in the future.
(4)
Truck Sales. This method
allows for 24 hours parking on shed or until the load is sold whichever comes
first. The gate ticket covers 24 hours parking. If the load is not sold at the
end of this 24 hour period, the Market Manager will assign a stall for periods
of 24 hours until the load is sold. Additional fees will be paid for each 24
hour period. When produce is sold, the space shall immediately revert back to
the Market. One hour is given to clean and vacate the space. Failure to pay
additional fees when required under the Act or these Rules will constitute
proper grounds for revocation or suspension of a license and the right to
conduct any type of business at the Markets in the future.
(5)
Space Sales. This method
allows an individual to locate or establish his business on a continuous day to
day basis for the season in a specified place on the sheds. Payment for space
per stall for 24 hours shall be published by each Market and collected daily.
This fee shall be in addition to the gate fee. Failure to pay the fees when
required under the Act or these Rules will constitute proper grounds for
revocation or suspension of a license and the right to conduct any type of
business at the Markets in the future.
(6) No person shall use any space upon the
Market except as assigned and authorized by the Market Manager. Use of stalls
or spaces by anyone other than the person assigned and authorized by the Market
Manager is prohibited. The use of space not assigned and authorized by the
Market Manager as required under the Act or these Rules will constitute proper
grounds for revocation or suspension of a license and the right to conduct any
type of business at the Markets in the future.
(7) Space on a Market may be designated by
the Market Manager as "Producer" area and upon such designation, only producers
selling produce actually grown by the producer may be offered for sale therein.
A producer occupying space in a "Producer" area who shall offer for sale
produce not grown by him shall forthwith lose his status as a producer and may
be removed from the "Producer" area and will constitute proper grounds for
revocation or suspension of a license and the right to conduct any type of
business at the Markets in the future.
(8) Items cannot be displayed on steps or
sidewalk, and nothing can be displayed on walkway at the end of shed on
platform unless the licensee obtains written permission of the Market Manager.
The use of space in this manner will constitute proper grounds for revocation
or suspension of a license and the right to conduct any type of business at the
Markets in the future.
