More township farmland has been added to the Agricultural Security area. Most of the Panebianco farm is in Albany Township but some is in Lynn Township, along Kistler Valley Road and Old Philly Road. Both tracts total 270.72 acres. Resolution 2016-19 legitimized the proposal.

Discussion was held concerning the possibility of installing generators at the two township buildings in case of power failure.

A recent power failure in the township gave some problems by being unable to open the garage doors. Supervisor Steve Feinour suggested a less costly option should be considered.

A generator system for the garage would cost approximately $7,600 while a set up for the office building would be around $8,300.Further discussion was tabled for future consideration.

Former supervisor, Kermit Delong asked for more volunteers to serve on the recreation committee.
