Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 48 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors convened a budget workshop on November 9, 2015, focusing on the 2016 Capital Fund and projects. No public comment was offered. An employee requested $50,000 over two years plus in-kind services for a $100,000 pavilion at the golf course, to be built in memory of a former township manager. Supervisors questioned whether it would increase outings and if water was available. The old pavilion would be demolished for parking. The Parks Director presented capital requests, with priority on Moon Park playground redevelopment, pending a $250,000 DCNR grant requiring a match. Discussion included managing the concession stand via a private vendor and phasing a new pavilion, parking, and multipurpose court project. The emergency management trailer approved in 2015 is expected to be completed in early 2016. The Technology Director requested a 2-channel HD digital playout server and four JVC cameras for the production trailer, noting the old equipment can be sold for roughly $1,000 per camera and $4,000–$5,000 for the server. The Robert Morris University trailer agreement is ending and a new one is needed. Facilities items include floor covering, ventilation, and roof top air handlers carried over from 2015, plus Cherrington/Library work totaling $40,000 and a Tahoe replacement for $25,000 after trade-in. An employee discussed the Old Park offices, noting the building needs a new roof and siding or could be demolished. The Police Captain requested three 2016 Ford Interceptors, a carport enclosure for prisoner processing, and a consulting firm for dispatch analysis. The Public Works Manager requested two replacement trucks and additional staff for parks and roads, with discussion on implementing a night shift for winter maintenance. The Planning Director requested ARCGIS online, building permit software upgrades, and a market analysis for development planning; he recommended removing wayfinding signage and a planning charrette from the list. Ongoing expenses include lease payments for in-car video, a community development vehicle, the road program, the public works garage, and a library challenge grant. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors convened a budget workshop on November 9, 2015, focusing on the 2016 Capital Fund and projects. No public comment was offered.
