3 issues with critical priority
2027 Preliminary Budget Discussions
The proposed 2027 budget keeps the general operations tax rate flat but adds three mills dedicated to the Capital Reserve Fund. That money would pay for infrastructure improvements, replacing aging public works equipment, stormwater work, and facility and vehicle replacement. Nothing has been voted yet — the board is scheduled only to advertise the budget and tax ordinance for public inspection before a final vote later.
Stormwater Management and Infrastructure Repairs
Residents from Herold Drive raised serious concerns about recurring flooding and undersized pipes destroying their properties. The township is planning pipe replacements and surveying, but some fixes require private property easements.
Law Enforcement Impersonation Phone Scams
Acting Police Chief McCurdy warned residents about a sharp rise in phone scams where criminals impersonate law enforcement officers and demand thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency to clear fake arrest warrants.
