Summary
Jordan Muriithi, a member of Ephrata Reformed Presbyterian Church, requested use of Whistle Stop Plaza on Aug. 5, 2026, 3–9 p.m.; the committee will recommend conditional approval pending a Certificate of Insurance naming the Borough as additionally insured and noted a requested temporary driveway closure.
Jordan Muriithi, identified in the minutes as a member of Ephrata Reformed Presbyterian Church, asked the Community Services Committee to allow the church to use Whistle Stop Plaza on Aug. 5, 2026, from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. The request included closing the driveway access from East Main Street between the Royer Building and the Plaza for the event.

If Council grants conditional approval, staff and the church must coordinate on traffic access and confirm insurance and any permitting requirements before the event date.
