Staff told the board it is preparing a periodic reexamination of the township master plan and asked members to review the 2019 reexamination and the ordinance book for items that may need updating; no formal vote was taken on the reexamination resolution at this meeting.

Staff told the board that the township is preparing a periodic reexamination report and asked members to review prior materials and provide suggested updates. "We are doing all the background research now, looking into the prior goals and objectives," a staff member said, and asked board members to flag zoning or goals that may be outdated.

Board members discussed the scope, including population and demographic changes and whether redevelopment areas should be incorporated.

There was no formal vote on the resolution at the meeting; staff asked members to come prepared with comments for the next meeting.
