Residents press trustees for oversight after construction overruns

Multiple residents used the public-comment period to demand accountability for the construction overrun and to urge trustees not to draw from emergency-service budgets. Bill Anderson told the board, "Those funds should have been used to cover the fire department cost overruns due to CO, but they were not," questioning the use of CARES Act and other funds. Patty Harang, a former police department employee, said the township should avoid taking money from police, fire or road services and suggested other fundraising or asset sales to cover overruns.
