Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 19 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held its fifth budget workshop, focused on the capital fund and projects. The meeting began with no public comment on agenda items or general comments. The Moon Township Library Director presented the library’s proposed 2017 budget, requesting the same $184,000 from the township as in prior years, with an anticipated increase in fundraising from $12,000 to $20,000. The budget included a 2% merit-based salary increase. The township manager noted additional building maintenance needs beyond the budget request, including electrical outlets, lighting, a sink, flooring upgrades, handles, and screens. A supervisor questioned library staff salaries compared to other libraries and received an explanation on salary ranges. The library director also updated the board on children’s programs, stating they would coordinate with the Parks and Recreation Department to avoid overlap. The board then reviewed the 2017 preliminary budget for the capital fund and projects. A supervisor questioned a $50,000 feasibility study for the fire department and requested a meeting with the Public Works Operations Manager to discuss vehicle replacement procedures. 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 considered transferring $500,000 from the General Fund to a building fund, and the finance director suggested a PLIGIT investment account as an alternative. The township manager presented a request from the building inspector to budget $80,000 for five vacant properties in Mooncrest, with $30,000 for demolition and $50,000 for infrastructure improvements. The board was asked to submit any budget changes before the next workshop.
