An unidentified resident used the public comment period to press the council on several community concerns tied to new apartment development. The resident asked whether the township tracks occupancy in apartments that received tax abatements and whether officials have examined correlations between those occupants and school‑aged children, noting potential impacts on local schools and operations.
Mayor John McCormick said he had already asked the board secretary for data on how many school‑aged children attend Ross Street School from nearby apartment complexes and that he expected to have an answer at the next meeting. He also said the township had built Ross Street School and provided additional desks, though he stated it was an operational decision by the school board to reassign programs.
The resident further raised traffic concerns tied to new apartments and asked about current crime rates and whether upticks were appearing in categories such as drug offenses or robberies. McCormick deferred the crime‑rate question to Police Director Bob Hubner; Director Hubner said he did not have the statistics at that moment but said the department would share the latest figures. The resident requested follow up on what the township is doing about any rise in crime.
The transcript records no formal council action tied to the questions; the mayor and director committed to providing the requested information at a later date.
