A building and planning committee recommended waivers to allow open alcoholic beverage containers for two Ardmore First Friday events (Sept. 4 and Oct. 2) provided the Downtown Ardmore District submits required insurance documentation.

The building and planning committee voted to recommend waivers of township code section 1‑11‑4.2 to permit patrons to possess open containers and for service of alcoholic beverages in the public right-of-way for two Downtown Ardmore events on Sept. 4 and Oct. 2 between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., provided the Downtown Ardmore District supplies the required insurance certificate.

A member of the public, Adrian Seltzer, urged earlier publicity and vendor sign‑ups to help organizers attract participation. Commissioners thanked the Downtown Ardmore District and its executive director, "Alec," for downtown activation and support. The committee recorded the motion as unanimous and forwarded it to the board as consent.
