The agreement outlines that the officer, while employed and trained by the township’s police department, will serve within the school. The officer must be a retired police officer under 65 years old. The school board will reimburse the township quarterly for all associated costs. This step aims to enhance security within the school, with the arrangement initially set for one year, subject to renewal by the Board of Education.

In legislative matters, the council introduced Ordinance 2025-01, which proposes amendments to property maintenance regulations. This ordinance seeks to categorize certain unsightly materials such as mulch, wood chips, and dead trees within the definition of blight, extending regulations to new residential zones. The public hearing for this ordinance is scheduled for February 18, 2025.

Public works updates included efforts to manage recent snowfall and ongoing maintenance projects, such as completing a significant stormwater project. There was also discussion about new stormwater compliance rules potentially affecting how the township handles mulch storage.

Lastly, the council addressed power outage issues, with updates on recent service interruptions due to weather and other factors like metallic balloons interfering with power lines. The council advised residents to be cautious with balloons around power lines, especially with Valentine’s Day approaching.
