Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 40 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on November 17, 2014, to discuss the 2015 draft budget, focusing on the local services tax, liquid fuels, and capital reserve funds. No public comments were made. The Finance Director reported that the local services tax budget remained flat, though the salt purchase line item increased due to higher per-ton costs. Liquid fuels revenue from the state gas tax was higher than expected, and utility bills had decreased. The board reviewed the 2012 bond expenditures, noting a remaining balance of approximately $416,000 after accounting for retainage on fuel storage systems and park restroom contracts. The board then considered capital reserve projects totaling $2.866 million, plus $1.163 million in ongoing items. For the facilities department, 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, while setting aside money for other items pending further discussion. For the police department, the board approved three new Ford Police Interceptor SUVs, down from the requested four. The board also approved an event response trailer and a portable message board for emergency management. For community development, the board set aside $232,500 for trails and sidewalks, but left the Boggs School capital contribution and sidewalk plan for further discussion. For public works, the board authorized a cantilevered slide gate, a paver, a bucket truck, fleet items, and a salt brine storage facility, but did not approve a new F-550 truck or a thermo lazer melt down system. For parks and recreation, the board approved DeVenzio Field fencing and retaining wall, full-size field repair, a debris blower, sand volleyball courts, a Smithco rake, and a golf cart, and allocated money from the Rotary Pavilion roof line item to playground equipment at Olson Park. The board did not approve a tractor and deferred decisions on field lighting, basketball courts, walking track, parking, and office renovations. The next workshop was moved to November 24 due to lack of quorum.The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on November 17, 2014, to discuss the 2015 draft budget, focusing on the local services tax, liquid fuels, and capital reserve funds.
