Summary
The South Whitley Town Council voted 3-0 to close Slater Drive on Aug. 17 for an AmVets 'Bikes & Bands' fundraiser, allowing expanded event hours for setup and teardown at the recommendation of the Town Marshal.
The South Whitley Town Council voted 3-0 on July 9 to allow Slater Drive to be closed on Aug. 17 so the AmVets can host a "Bikes & Bands" fundraiser with food trucks and additional parking.
Ed Ruckman asked the council to close the street so the AmVets could host the event from 5 to 8 p.m.; Town Marshal Mikel Vandevender recommended extending hours to accommodate setup and teardown. Councilman Brock Waterson moved to allow the closure from 5 to 10 p.m.; Councilman Trey Weber seconded and the motion passed unanimously by the three council members present.
The extended closing time approved by the council is intended to let vendors and organizers set up and break down equipment. The council did not record additional permit conditions in the meeting minutes. The closure was handled as a short, on-agenda item and required no further action at the meeting.
The council adjourned at 7:04 p.m.; any operational details or permit fees were not specified in the minutes.
