Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 17 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held its fifth budget workshop on October 24, 2016, focused on the capital fund and projects for the 2017 preliminary budget. All members were present except a supervisor. There was no public comment. The Moon Township Library Director presented the library’s proposed 2017 budget, requesting the same $184,000 from the township as in prior years. The library anticipates raising $20,000 in fundraising, up from $12,000. The budget includes a 2% merit-based salary increase. A supervisor asked about the collection line item, and another supervisor inquired about staff salaries compared to other libraries and about children’s programs. The library director said the library will coordinate with the Parks and Recreation Department to avoid program overlap. The township manager suggested the Library Board and Board of Supervisors meet twice a year to improve communication, and noted additional building maintenance needs beyond the budget request, including electrical outlets, lighting, sink, flooring upgrades, handles, and screens. The finance director distributed the 2017 preliminary budget packets. The board discussed the $50,000 fire department feasibility study. A supervisor said he wants Public Works to analyze vehicle replacement procedures and plans to meet with the operations manager about maintenance. A supervisor asked for clarification on a $4 million transfer from the General Fund and requested a year-end report broken down by department. The finance director noted a 3.7% decrease in expenditures. The chairman asked about transferring $500,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Reserve Fund, which the finance director said would reduce the carry-forward from 26% to 22.5%. The chairman suggested putting the money into a building fund. The finance director recommended a PLIGIT investment account within the General Fund. The township manager presented the building inspector’s request for $80,000 for five vacant properties in Mooncrest: $30,000 for demolition and $50,000 for infrastructure improvements. The board planned to finalize changes before the October 26 workshop.
