The suit challenges the validity and selective enforcement of Ordinance No. 2025-12-11-RV, which regulates camping trailers and recreational vehicles on private property. The plaintiffs allege improper adoption, selective enforcement, and violations of the Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act, along with First and Fourteenth Amendment claims. A preliminary injunction motion is pending, and a federal complaint is being prepared.

Residents called the changes an overreach, questioning their effectiveness and the need for township policing. The commission voted unanimously to table the amendments, with revised language to be reviewed at the next meeting on June 10.
