The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held its annual reorganization and January regular meeting on January 7, 2013, beginning with an executive session on personnel and legal advice. The board unanimously re-elected a supervisor as chairman and a supervisor as vice-chairman, and set regular meetings for the first Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. and workshop meetings for the last Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. at the municipal building. The Allegheny Times was designated the official newspaper. The township manager was reappointed as township manager, secretary and treasurer with a $1.6 million bond. PNC Bank was approved as the township depository via Resolution R-1-2013. The board reappointed Michael Baker Jr., Inc. as township engineer, L.R. Kimball as traffic engineer, Garvin Boward Beitko Engineering as geo-technical engineer, and Babst, Calland, Clement and Zomnir as solicitor, all at previously submitted rates.

The board adopted Ordinance No. 645, reducing the Planning Commission from seven to five members, with a supervisor dissenting. Appointments included a resident to the Municipal Authority, a resident to the Riverview Sanitary Authority, a resident as Zoning Hearing Board alternate, and a supervisor to the Moon Transportation Authority after a split vote.
