The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council held its February 18 meeting, reorganizing with a chair, a vice chair, a secretary, and a historian. The council voted to shift its regular meetings to the first Monday of each month starting March 4. On the June 20 shredding event, the council approved a $200 township contribution and directed staff to seek another sponsor and consider reducing the event from three hours to two, after learning the truck rental cost had risen to $150 per hour. The council noted the township is proceeding with a new household hazardous waste and electronics pickup program through Waste Management, costing residents an extra 50 cents per month, with a flyer to be included in the next utility bill and the program starting in April. The Green Initiatives Coordinator reported progress on several fronts: a public transit meeting for Mooncrest residents scheduled for Feb. 19, a funding commitment for a green roof on the municipal building, the Solarize Allegheny program’s first outreach event set for Feb. 23, recruitment of interns for GIS mapping of street lights, and discovery of hemlock pests in Robin Hill. The council reviewed land development plans for 300 Wright Brothers, Airside Business Park, and Brooks and Allard Elementary, noting rain gardens had been dropped from those projects. The comprehensive plan’s 45-day public review period is underway, with comments due to an employee by March 27. Electronics recycling dates were finalized for March 7, June 6, August 1, and October 3, with a one-TV-per-car limit. Earth Day on April 19 will feature a native plant giveaway and stormwater demonstration, with the Audubon Society possibly providing free plants. The council also noted new Allegheny County open burning regulations are available in BoardDocs.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council held its February 18 meeting, reorganizing with a chair, a vice chair, a secretary, and a historian.
