Supervisor Steve Bachman said the emergency management coordinator position remains open.

NOVA responded to 96 percent of calls. For the year, response was 97 percent. Ambulance crew members were on site six days a week. Response time was 11.2 minutes per call.

Roadmaster Kevin Huber said the crew has done a lot of cleanup along the roads. Boxes are being cleaned for drainage.

The Byram Land Development on Flint Hill Road involves a lot line change for two existing lots, one acre and 3-1/2 acres, each for a single family. They parallel a creek.

The township wanted to add a battery to the light at Northwest Road for emergencies when electricity is down.
