Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 31 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on November 3, 2014, beginning at 6:01 p.m. with three supervisors present. No public comments were offered. The meeting initially lacked a quorum until a supervisor arrived at approximately 6:20 p.m. The Finance Director reviewed two draft budgets. For Community Development, she highlighted a new Farmer’s Market line item covering signage, wages, and credit card processing for SNAP and debit transactions, with revenue covering about 75% of costs. The Environmental Advisory Council contribution was increased by $1,000. The Finance Director noted legal services had cost nearly $60,000 through August, driven by stormwater issues, planning work with the solicitor, and code enforcement cases including the Polo Club, Mooncrest, and Rodeway Inn. The board discussed reducing the planning legal budget from $55,000 to $50,000, with staff directed to shift more tasks in-house. Engineering services were cut from $40,000 to $30,000 as work transitions from Baker to staff. GIS software maintenance was proposed for upgrade, with the Green Coordinator taking a refresher course to reduce reliance on Chester Engineering. A part-time intern from LGA was included in salary projections. For MCA-TV, the Finance Director presented a request to convert a part-time position to full-time Assistant Director, eliminating one part-time role. The employee handles design, layout, and graphics for the township website and parks page, saving $2,400 annually. Other budget items remained largely unchanged, with adjustments for a generator replacement, higher school district meeting costs offset by billing, and reduced health insurance based on current personnel. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on November 3, 2014, beginning at 6:01 p.m. with three supervisors present. No public comments were offered.
