• Approval of workers’ compensation for Franklin Township police officer for Frank Buonaiuto from Feb. 28 through March 13.

• Accepted the resignation of Anthony Frantz from the position of auditor.

• Approved the 2026 Electronics Recycling Event between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on April 4 for Franklin Township residents only.

• Announced that the office will be closed on April 20 and 21 during normal working hours for both secretaries to attend a Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors conference. The office will reopen on April 22.

• Approved the request from Pohopoco Rod and Gun Club in requesting the use of ponds one and two for its May 9 event. Proper signage will be timely placed at both ponds reminding participants that both ponds are covered by the 15 years and under restriction and the 30-day exclusion of adult fishing. The club has had too many participants to safely have 70 or 80 youths fishing in only one pond.
