Wasting no time addressing the implications of Tuesday’s resounding Faber Field turf referendum defeat, the Glen Rock Borough Council will start its Monday, Nov. 10 work session at 6:30 p.m., an hour earlier than usual.
Although Mayor John van Keuren and the council had already extended the meeting time several days before the vote – to specifically allow discussion of next steps for Faber either way – the setback and its magnitude have ramped up the need for fresh deliberation.
After the lopsided 2,999-1,176 vote against the $3 million bond proposal, van Keuren told the Glen Rock Gazette Tuesday that, “We had already moved up the start time, just to talk about the outcome and next steps, not knowing what the outcome was going to be, and it was obviously definitive.”
Saying the post-vote reaction of some council members ranged from “disappointed” to “shell-shocked,” the mayor added, “Regardless, we have to move forward. So we’ll see what the mood of the council is, and how to tap into the mood of the community.
