Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 33 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors began by approving minutes from meetings in late June and July, then recognized state citations presented by a state representative and a state senator’s representative for the township’s 225th anniversary and a PSATS award. A video highlighted community service projects by Youth Unlimited at Olson Park and Moon Park, and the board thanked the volunteers and staff. The township manager announced the township’s anniversary online memory-sharing, historical society programs, the volunteer fire department car cruise on August 25, and office closures for Labor Day. She also reported on agreements related to the Walmart development approved July 31. Under action items, the board unanimously passed Resolution R-18-2013 recognizing the Moon Township Public Library as a civic association under the Local Options Small Games of Chance Act, enabling the library to operate games of chance. It approved the 6th Annual Harvest Moon 5K Run on October 12 with road closures conditioned on PennDOT permits and public safety approval. The board unanimously rejected the lone, non-responsive bid for fuel tank plumbing and dispenser upgrades and authorized a rebid. It approved a drainage easement agreement with a resident for property at 208 Timberyoke Road to address stormwater issues. Resolution R-19-2013 dedicating Parcel 13 of the Noble Woods development to the township passed unanimously. Bond reduction requests for Wiltshire Estates Phase I (to $129,200) and Phase II (to $164,600) were approved. The board recorded the resignation of the assistant manager/planning director and, with a supervisor abstaining, confirmed the termination of a police officer (Badge M-23) subject to appeal. Bills covering checks and EFTs totaling multiple funds were approved unanimously. Following audience comments, a supervisor detailed a division within the board after two supervisors held a private meeting with Robert Morris University during the Holiday Inn rezoning hearing—a meeting the solicitor deemed improper—and later released an email questioning the first supervisor’s conduct. The supervisor moved to appoint special counsel to investigate actions of board members and staff regarding the hearings, emails, and related issues. The motion carried three to one, with a supervisor dissenting. The solicitor is to recommend two independent firms by August 23, with selection at the August 28 workshop.
