Township administrators and the road superintendent discussed applying for the 2027 Butler County CDBG program to pave neighborhood streets and the board accepted a $20,544 stormwater district grant to buy a storm‑sewer inspection camera, adopting resolution 2026Dash057 to appropriate funds.

Multiple residents urged trustees to investigate the police department's hiring, field‑training and recordkeeping practices, citing documentary claims about an officer rated 'not responding to training,' rapid sign‑offs on training checklists, missing documentation, evidence‑handling gaps and disproportionate turnover among full‑time officers.

State Representative Jennifer Gross told Ross Township trustees she supports recent property‑tax reforms and introduced draft HB 983, which would require citizen votes within five miles of large data centers, set air and wastewater standards, mandate closed‑loop cooling and prohibit certain tax abatements and NDAs. She said the bill has not had a hearing and is "the beginning of carrying on that conversation."

Residents accused the police department of hiring problems and slow public-records responses; supporters defended officers, the board said it is conducting a comprehensive review of personnel practices and then voted to go into executive session on personnel matters.

Dan Dieters of Energy Alliances Inc. told Ross trustees the township's electric aggregation renewal needs a quick decision and asked that the administrator be authorized to sign a contract not to exceed 10.499'cents per kilowatt-hour; he said the program has saved residents versus Duke and emphasized an opt-out notice and performance reporting.

Public commenters Beth and Steve Roach accused the police department of inconsistent hiring practices, alleged failures to perform background checks for recruits, and raised concerns about retaliation and social-media attacks; trustees said records requests are being processed with legal review and redactions.
