The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held its fourth budget workshop on October 19, 2016, focusing on the 2017 Liquid Fuels Fund and Emergency Services Tax Fund. All five supervisors were present, with a supervisor arriving at 6:02 p.m. No public comment was offered. The Finance Director presented packets covering the Local Services Tax Fund, Liquid Fuels Fund, Capital Reserve Fund, and a Capital Projects Summary. She explained that the Local Services Tax Fund, established by Ordinance No. 58, levies a $52 annual occupation tax, with the township retaining $47 and the school district receiving $5; 25% of collections must be spent on public safety. For the Liquid Fuels Fund, she noted that state law requires a separate accounting for gasoline tax revenues, which are distributed based on the township’s 72.7 miles of improved roads and population of 24,185. The township expects $662,199 in Liquid Fuels Tax revenue in 2017, a 2.5% increase, plus $7,720 in Turnback money under Act 32, for a recommended total of $669,919. The Finance Director then reviewed capital project changes: $115,000 was added for a siren site radio equipment building; $50,000 for library flooring and carpeting; and $60,000 to relocate MCA-TV if the community services building is sold. The Fire Department’s thermal imaging cameras were increased from two to four. The Engineering Department’s MS4 permit application cost rose to $24,000. Public Works items discussed included a tractor, Accubrine remote truck fill, grapple loader rake attachment, and two pickup trucks. Parks changes covered lighting, a sand volleyball court, fence improvements, a playground, and information center upgrades. The recommended capital project expenses total $4,458,539, with an estimated Capital Reserve Fund balance of $2,198,242.53 at year-end 2017. At 6:25 p.m., a representative of Dicicco Development arrived to discuss the property at 1506 Beaver Grade Road.
