Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 40 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on March 25, 2015, taking several concrete actions. The board voted unanimously to approve a performance security reduction for the Noble Woods Development, lowering the bond from $366,738 to $342,035 as recommended by the township engineer. They also voted to authorize a representative of the Hollow Oak Land Trust to proceed with the Downing Drive Trail Connector project, including permit applications for a bridge and a RAD matching grant, contingent on a letter of agreement from the Londonbury Board. The board gave consensus to support the Ohio River Trail Project, with the Coraopolis Borough Manager presenting the route and funding. In other business, the board heard updates on the Moon Area School District’s Allard and Brooks Elementary School renovation projects, both of which received Planning Commission approval. The board discussed the RMU University Boulevard-Campus Drive intersection improvement project, with a draft reimbursement agreement with PennDOT finalized. On the 2015 Road Improvement Program, the low bidder Youngblood failed to include a required Public Works Verification form, and the solicitor is reviewing whether the bid is responsive. The board directed the contractor on the fuel tank upgrade project to perform a thorough system check after new pump problems emerged. For the Moon-Findlay boundary delineation, the engineer recommended accepting the lowest not-to-exceed proposal from RL Kimble, and the township will seek to split costs with the Airport Authority and Findlay Township. The board also authorized $250,000 as a match for a DCNR grant for the Moon Park Playground Improvement Plan, with a resolution to be placed on the April 1 agenda. The board previewed the April 1 regular meeting agenda, which includes public hearings on the comprehensive plan, the Brooks and Allard school land development plans, and Olson playground equipment. The meeting adjourned into executive session to discuss potential litigation regarding the MTA and Walmart development, as well as personnel matters.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on March 25, 2015, taking several concrete actions.
