Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 31 subject tags
The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Dec. 19 and voted to formally endorse a tobacco-free parks initiative, sending a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that the township adopt a regulation similar to Allegheny County’s ordinance to enforce the policy. The council also approved a letter of support for the Riverview Park Brown Field project, offering cleanup assistance, and discussed scheduling Saturday work dates. Members reviewed plans for the Falconi Automotive addition and alteration, noting the lack of a sidewalk along University Boulevard, which the applicant will need to address. In old business, the council reviewed the latest “At Your Door” magnet, requesting a wording change to direct residents to the Moon Township EAC page. The group is awaiting a weight determination to see if the magnet can be included in the next water/sewer/garbage bill without extra postage. A summary of the 2016 JVS electronics collection showed 363,238 pounds of TVs, monitors, computers and other items were collected—double last year’s total. The council discussed action items from a former employee’s list. Completed items included the farmers’ market food stamp program, LED bulb replacements at the police station, and park and trail mapping. In-progress items include the Sustainable Communities Essentials Certification, the Green Workplace Challenge, the Duquesne Light LED streetlight retrofit rebate program, and tracking monthly energy use for buildings on Energy Star. The council noted that the township is still deciding on renovations to the municipal building, which affects a planned green roof project. Ten free solar panels from the military remain undepoyed; installation would cost $12,000, and members suggested contacting area schools about using them as an educational tool. The council also discussed a committee attendance policy, with a council member to check for formal rules. Members voted to send a thank-you letter to the Board of Supervisors for inviting the council to the Dec. 8 volunteers’ Christmas party.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met Dec. 19 and voted to formally endorse a tobacco-free parks initiative, sending a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that the township adopt a regulation similar to Allegheny County’s ordinance to enforce the policy.
