Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 52 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop focused on the 2015 Capital Fund and projects. The Finance Director presented the Local Services Tax budget, noting the salt purchase line item increased due to higher per-ton costs. For Liquid Fuels, the Township received a higher state allocation and utility bills decreased; two pieces of equipment were purchased from this fund. The Finance Director reported the 2012 Bond had a current balance just shy of $1 million, with an anticipated remaining balance of $416,138.20 after paying 10% retainage for fuel storage systems and park restrooms. Total Capital Reserve projects for 2015 were estimated at $2.866 million, with ongoing items totaling $1.163 million. The Board authorized floor covering at the fire house, a ventilation system at Downs Fire Station, rooftop air handlers, and parking lot lights at Cherrington. They set aside money for other facilities items pending further discussion. For Police, the Board approved three new Ford Police Interceptor SUVs, with consensus that vehicles are retired at 95,000 miles. Emergency Management items—an event response trailer and a portable message board—were both approved. Community Development saw the Board set aside $232,500 for trails and sidewalks, but left the Boggs School capital contribution for further discussion. Public Works received authorization for a cantilevered slide gate, a paver, a bucket truck, fleet items, an accurbine remote truck fill, fleet maintenance software, and a set-aside for 2016 truck replacement. The Board allocated funds for a salt brine storage facility pending more discussion, but did not approve a new F-550 truck or a thermo lazer melt down system. Parks and Recreation saw approval for DeVenzio Field fencing and retaining wall, full-size field repair, a debris blower, sand volleyball courts, a Smithco rake, and a golf cart. The Board allocated money for playground equipment at Olson Park by redirecting funds from the Rotary Pavilion roof line item, but deferred decisions on DeVenzio Field lighting, basketball courts, walking track, parking, walking path, and office renovations. The tractor line item was not approved. MCA-TV has excess funds from camera savings, with $40,000 already set aside. A supervisor noted a resident reported the Municipal Authority plans to replace sewer and water lines on Amherst in November.The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop focused on the 2015 Capital Fund and projects.
