Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 37 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on January 27, 2016, taking several formal actions. The Board unanimously approved a conflict of interest waiver for Garvin Boward Beitko Engineering to perform geotechnical work for Robert Morris University. They also approved two performance security reductions: one for RMU’s RISE School of Nursing, cutting the security from $1,134,800 to $17,900, and another for Wiltshire Estates Phase II, reducing it from $125,800 to $115,500. The Board exonerated the tax collector from collecting delinquent 2015 real estate taxes and transferred that authority to Keystone Municipal Collections. An employee of the Ohio River Trail Council presented the Complete Streets Coalition, seeking municipal collaboration for non-vehicle trail connections. He noted future funding requests of $500 per municipality but asked for no immediate endorsement. In community development, the Board discussed a proposed target range text amendment, with Planning Commission concerns about noise and safety in residential areas. They reviewed a proposed senior living facility at 1026 Brodhead Road, featuring 122 units with assisted and independent living sections, which would require rezoning. The Board also heard about RMU’s Ridge Row student housing plan, Autumn Wood road dedication issues involving a DEP consent order on a stormwater pond, and Crosswinds Development’s unresolved easement and lien issues. Property maintenance updates covered a code enforcement case and the Skylark Hotel condemnation, with about four residents displaced. The Board selected an independent auditor for 2015-2017, priced at $5,300 annually versus Maher Duessel’s $14,000. They tabled the $432,000 horizontal grinder purchase for further research, discussed a $75,000 Mack truck purchase, and reviewed a $9,444 emergency response trailer. A municipal building renovation meeting was set for February 10. The workshop adjourned into executive session on litigation and personnel matters.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on January 27, 2016, taking several formal actions.
