Glen Rock Borough Council on Wednesday decided that a council member's practice of playing a recording of "Taps" over a PA system at his home each evening violates the borough's nuisance ordinance, according a report by the York Daily Record.

Council concluded that U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Joshua Corney would not be violating the ordinance -- which prohibits the loud playing of sound devices that can be heard beyond a property's boundaries -- if he plays the amplified recording only on Sundays and seven "flag holidays," YDR.com reported.

The vote by council was 5-0, but Corney, recovering from surgery, did not attend, YDR.com reported. Corney told the York Daily Record that he is considering whether to continue playing "Taps," and plans to circulate a petition in support of the practice.

Corney, a veteran with 20 years of service, about 20 months ago began to broadcast the traditional military bugle call that marks the end of the day as well as final honors for fallen soldiers from the sprawling yard of his Glen Rock home, which sits high on a hill on top of Glen Avenue.

Since then, every night just before 8, Corney has been broadcasting the 57-second musical piece. He said it's an effort to honor and remember all fallen soldiers.

A handful of residents complained about the nightly amplified music, but quickly found themselves the targets of a social media backlash. After receiving complaints, borough council took up the matter.
