Franconia is a Second Class Township governed by five supervisors, elected at-large for staggered six-year terms. In compliance with the Second Class Township Code and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Code, the supervisors oversee:
|
Steven P. Barndt |
Grey R. Godshall |
Keith Freed |
Drew Darrah |
Curtis N. Kratz |
Planning Commission members, appointed by the Board of Supervisors, review and comment on all land development and subdivision applications submitted to the township for code compliances. The commission considers the impacts of proposed development on roadways and surrounding properties; assesses each application for landscape buffers, street trees, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation; and reviews and updates planning documents such as the Franconia Township Comprehensive Plan. Each member is appointed to a four-year term.
Appointed by the Board of Supervisors, each member of the Franconia Sewer Authority (FSA) serves a five-year term, with one member being reappointed or replaced each calendar year. The FSA directs sewer debt management and upkeep of existing sewer lines and pump stations, recommends expansion of service when necessary, reviews all developments requiring public sewer lines, sets the rates, and handles all sewer billing.
