The council also discussed the Municipal Utilities Authority’s efforts to lease the cell tower, with the current lease expiring. They have sought bids to find a new company to take over. This topic was part of a broader discussion on infrastructure and communication improvements within the township. A related point of concern was how these changes, including the shift to publishing legal notices on official government websites instead of traditional print media, would be communicated to the MUA. This shift prompted a need for clarity on new guidelines.

Electric vehicle charging stations were another focal point. The Green Team is developing a survey to gather community feedback on potential locations for these stations, a move that reflects evolving circumstances in the township’s sustainable initiatives.

In terms of public safety, residents expressed the need for improved communication between the police department and the community. A suggestion was made to reinstate a monthly police report, similar to those provided by the Road Department, to enhance transparency and community relations. This idea received support, with historical context indicating that such reports were previously submitted to the council.

Infrastructure concerns also surfaced regarding the reliability of street lighting in the parking lot. Residents discussed the need for an automated system that would ensure consistent lighting, particularly beneficial for older individuals navigating the area after dark. The current system’s inefficiency during power outages was a point of frustration and safety concern.

In addition to these discussions, the council confirmed a townwide cleanup day scheduled for April 19 and an identity day on May 31 at the Public Works yard. These initiatives coincide with ongoing maintenance activities like pothole repairs, roadside pruning, and sign condition assessments. The council emphasized the importance of these community-focused efforts.

The meeting also addressed organizational matters regarding public comments and executive sessions. The council decided to hold executive sessions at the beginning of meetings, considering audience preferences and ensuring discussion participation. This change aims to improve meeting logistics and efficiency.
