Administration

The Administration of the day-to-day business of the Township is performed by the Township Manager and Administrative Assistant.

Township Manager/Secretary/Treasurer

Crystal Brown

Crystal is currently serving Robinson Township in the capacity of Manager/Secretary/Treasurer/Right-to-Know Officer. She has many years of municipal experience, having served in the capacities of Auditor, Earned Income Tax Collector, and general office assistant in South Franklin Township, and most recently as Assistant Administrator of the Washington County Sewage Council. Her position at the Washington County Sewage Council gave her the great advantage of working with every Township and Borough in the County, learning their laws, their Boards, and their personnel.

“I will work hard to justify the Board of Supervisor’s faith in me. I have already greatly enjoyed getting to know Robinson’s residents, and look forward to providing the community with excellent service as the Township moves forward into an exciting new chapter.”

Please do NOT contaminate the unit with questionable items or trash. The hauler will charge us a contamination fee, which may eventually make this service impossible.
