Some of the 400 vendors who peddle wares at weekend swap meets say they are the hapless victims of a dispute that has been at an impasse since May.
Chris and Tou Meechukant work in food service. As restaurants and bars shut down in March, they looked for ways to get beloved Thai products directly into the hands of customers.
Stephanie Singleton, a program manager for the Orange County Environmental Health Division, said by email late last week that outdoor swap meets and flea markets, along with food operations there, are allowed to reopen as Stage 2 businesses underYet the stalemate continues. The fair board planned to address the matter at a June 11 meeting and then again on June 25, but twice heard public comments and tabled the talk until July 23, at which time the item did not appear on the agenda.
Fairgrounds spokeswoman Terry Moore confirmed Friday the last rental payment from Spectra was for the month of March, in the amount of $171,666., Robbins and other vendors pleaded with officials to do something to allow them to resume business. Some suggested the fair board offer Spectra rent relief to ease any claim of hardship, while others suggested OCFEC accept the company’s termination and take over operations.
“Right now, everyone is losing — not only the vendors, but the state, the county and the city in tax revenue,” said Greg Silva, a clothing vendor for the past 30 years. “I would hope we can come to some kind of understanding, letting the Market Place reopen when the time is right.”“In June, Spectra terminated its contract to operate the OC Marketplace, as permitted by the terms of the contract,” the statement said.
