The Franklin Township trustees held an at times tense regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. on April 28, 2026, at Township Hall. In attendance were trustees Kellie Kapusta, Scott Swan and Glenn Russell. Also attending were Zoning Inspector Joe Ciccozzi, Deputy Fire Prevention Officer Richard Smith and Road Superintendent David Akerley.
The meeting was called to order shortly after 7 p.m. by Kapusta, and the first order of business was the approval of the meeting minutes from the previous April meeting. Russell and Swan voted to approve the minutes, while Kapusta abstained, saying she was not present during that session.
