The July 19, 2016 Ambler Borough Council meeting included recognition of Administrative Sergeant John C. Keefer's retirement from the police department and a public hearing on Ordinance 1099, which proposed repealing the Riparian Buffer Ordinance 1095 adopted in May 2016. The hearing revealed divided public opinion, with residents citing property rights concerns and inconsistent enforcement on one side, while others argued the ordinance protects sensitive riparian zones for community benefit; the solicitor clarified that Ordinance 1095 contains no enforceable restrictions and merely provides guidelines, while the floodplain ordinance remains in effect.
