Council Approves $88,144 Tractor Purchase and Renews Country Club Liquor License
Listen
Glen Ridge's Mayor and Council approved two notable expenditures at their June 22 meeting: a $228,898 payment for garbage collection services (Resolution 107-26), and an $88,144.78 replacement tractor purchased through the Hunter County Cooperative Purchasing Program (Resolution 109-26), which will replace a 2015 unit currently used for grass cutting in summer and converted to snow removal in winter. The council also renewed the Glen Ridge Country Club's plenary retail consumption liquor license (Resolution 108-26) after finding no objection to the renewal. One councilmember abstained on the vote to adopt the minutes of the prior meeting, though the recording was too garbled to reliably identify who.
The council extended condolences to the police chief on the recent passing of his father, with funeral services held at Sacred Heart Church the following day. Public works highlighted recent pothole cleanup, storm debris removal, and other park maintenance, and a councilmember announced a "Weed and Pizza" cleanup event planned for Saturday, July 11, partnering with the Garden Club and Boy Scouts to clear weeds and trash from town streets. Residents were also told to expect evening street closures due to the Ash Bloomfield Sunset race, held in neighboring Bloomfield.
