The Quinton Township Mayor and Committee handled a series of routine municipal items and community reports at their May 5, 2026 regular meeting.

During public session the Quinton Fire Company reported 18 calls for April 2026 and the Quinton Volunteer Ambulance Squad reported 31 calls; community events and volunteer cleanup results were announced (including 17 bags of trash and 18 bags of recyclables collected).
