The Township Administrator, who is appointed by the Trustees, oversees the day to day business of the township government. An elected Township Fiscal Officer is responsible for all township financial accounts and transactions. The Plain Township Fire Department serves all areas of the township including the City of New Albany. In addition to fire and EMS services, the Fire Department is responsible for fire safety and prevention efforts, including fire code enforcement, community outreach and education programs.
