Council approves parking for Roxy Theater film production
Summary
Northampton Borough Council approved a request from a production company to use two rear parking spaces and a 10x10 tent for a June 13 screening at the Roxy Theater; approval passed by voice vote after a motion and second.
The Northampton Borough Council voted to approve a production request to use two parking spaces behind the Roxy Theater for a June 13 screening of "View Master, a glimpse into 3 d," including a 10-by-10 tent for cast and crew.
The clerk reported the production company requested the spaces "from 10AM to 11:30PM" and that the area would be used "by cast and crew for food and drinks." Councilmember Ron Glassick moved to approve the request; a second was recorded in the meeting transcript and the motion passed by voice vote with the chair stating "the ayes have it." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: The approval allows a private production to use borough property adjacent to the Roxy Theater for a one-day event and sets a precedent for temporary use of municipal parking for cultural events. The council did not attach conditions to the recorded motion on crowd control, insurance, or cleanliness in the spoken record.
Council next steps: The clerk will incorporate the approval into the permits file and follow up on any operational requirements with the production company.
Speakers quoted or referenced: the clerk (announcing the request) and Councilmember Ron Glassick (mover).
