The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 31, 2016, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance and roll call. The chairman announced an executive session held August 24 regarding property acquisition. No public comments were offered.

The board approved four drainage easement agreements: one with two residents for 117 Beacon Hill Drive, and three with three residents for locations on Grosvenor Drive. A supervisor abstained from the first vote. The board also approved performance security reductions for Pittsburgh International Business Park Building 400, reducing security from $834,887.63 to $527,539.38, and for Foxwood Knolls Phases 1, 2, and 3, with Phase 2’s security dropping from $61,900 to $798. A supervisor voted against the Phase 2 reduction.

The Community Development Department reported on several upcoming items: a revised final PRD for Wiltshire Estates Phases 1 and 2, a final PRD for Phases 3-5, a conditional use request from Continental Development for an alternative landscape plan, and a final major land development plan for a life care facility at 1026 Brodhead Road. A proposed grading ordinance amendment was also discussed.

The engineer reported on the 2016 road improvement program, noting that using half of the 2017 paving budget for Boggs School Road slope stability would not harm the overall paving schedule. Stormwater management projects on Sharon Road and Grosvenor Drive were detailed, including replacing vitrified clay pipe with larger plastic pipe. The Moon Park Rotary Pavilion roof replacement project was nearly complete. The engineer also discussed a grant application for sewer line extension at Moon Park, a renewable energy solar panel project, and a sliding gate project at the public works garage, with Watt Fencing the apparent low bidder at $18,430.

The finance director presented July financial reports and check registers. The parks and recreation director announced a final summer concert featuring a performer on September 21. The assistant township manager presented a request from the Moon Volunteer Fire Company for funding for firefighter health screenings, and a capital purchase of a Ford F350 for public works. The board agreed to handle insurance review in-house. The meeting adjourned into executive session at 8:52 p.m.
