Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 37 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on February 26, 2014, taking several key actions. The board unanimously authorized the release and advertisement of bid specifications for fireworks displays for the Fourth of July celebration at Moon Park for 2014, 2015, and 2016, with the option to award a one-, two-, or three-year contract. They also unanimously authorized the release and advertisement of bid specifications for the 2014 Road Improvement Program, which includes a newly rewritten bid manual giving the township more control over design and contract management. The board approved the First Amendment to the Set-Aside Agreement with PIBP 210 LLC and Dollar Bank for Building 210 of the Pittsburgh International Business Park, subject to solicitor approval, which reduces the required security amount for that project. During public comment, a resident praised the planned Panera Bread development as a "six-star" company. The board heard a presentation from an employee of T&B Planning on the township's Historic Preservation Plan, which will be presented publicly at the April 2 regular meeting. Regarding the Speedway conditional use hearing, the board scheduled a potential continued hearing for March 17 if the matter is not resolved at the next regular meeting. The board also discussed the need to appoint a new special counsel for oil and gas matters after the previous counsel resigned due to a conflict, as Moon Township anticipates receiving an application for Well Pad No. 5, which straddles the Moon-Findlay border. The board voted unanimously to proceed with a $16,000 study of the Moon Golf Course dam, which requires data gathering and remediation. Staff reported that the Panera Bread traffic impact study has been approved by both the township traffic engineer and PennDOT, though utility issues remain before the land development plan can be submitted. The board directed staff to proceed with installing three new restrooms in Moon Park, obtain cost estimates for a fourth, and update existing restroom facilities. The township also implemented paperless agenda software for the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission. The board then adjourned to executive session to discuss legal issues including the Speedway development, codification, Polo Club litigation, and police contract negotiations.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on February 26, 2014, taking several key actions.
