Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 46 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on September 24, 2014, with all four members present. The board heard a detailed presentation from the Moon Transportation Authority on a proposed Transportation Impact Fee Program for new developments, focused on the University Boulevard corridor. The presentation included a Roadway Sufficiency Analysis and a Capital Improvements Plan projecting 20 years of growth. The board discussed the program’s administration, potential effects on development, and the need to move quickly before developers file plans. The board also reviewed a minor land development plan from Lumos Network to build an unoccupied fiber optic relay hut on Moon Clinton Road, discussing the building’s facade, landscaping, and the fact that it would require no water or sewer connections. The board approved Resolution No. R-19-2014, authorizing a banner over Beaver Grade Road for the Moon Township Public Library’s wine and craft beer tasting fundraiser. They also approved the 2015 Minimum Municipal Obligations of $237,739 for the Non-Uniformed Pension Plan and $514,156 for the Uniformed Pension Plan. After extensive discussion about potential savings versus the loss of a dividend rebate from the current insurance pool, the board voted to retain HHM Benefits Services as the Township’s broker of record for long and short-term disability and life insurance, but tabled the decision on actually switching benefit providers pending further cost comparison. Under community development, the board discussed a time extension for the Calgon Carbon conditional use hearing, a modification request for stormwater pipe placement at Noble Woods, and a bufferyard deviation for Patrick’s Pub’s parking lot expansion. The engineer reported that the Moon Park restroom project is under construction, fuel tank upgrades are nearly complete, and the 2014 road program is progressing. The board also discussed the Montour Run/Beaver Grade Road intersection signal work, the Thorn Run Interchange project cost increase to $7.2 million, and ongoing easement issues on Grant Drive. The board agreed to proceed with resurfacing the Moon Park basketball court as the next parks project. A special workshop was scheduled for October 22 to review zoning maps and ordinances. The meeting adjourned into executive session at 9:01 p.m. to discuss litigation, personnel, and a real estate matter involving the volunteer fire company.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on September 24, 2014, with all four members present.
