The Old Lycoming Township supervisors dug into several brief agenda items during their February meeting after officiating promotions within Old Lycoming Township Police Department.
The supervisors unanimously approved Allyx Kennedy as the new township bookkeeper and treasurer, while they made various other appointments to its planning commission.
Jessica Williams was assigned to the township’s planning commission through Dec. 31, 2024, while Ed Gair and David Kay were approved through Dec. 31, 2021. Each approval received unanimous support from the supervisors.
Meanwhile, Judy Fink resigned from the Zoning Hearing Board after 28 years of service to the community.
“We accept her resignation with regret. She did an outstanding job and we will miss her experience,” Linda Mazullo, one of the township supervisors, said.
