The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on January 11, 2017, and began by reorganizing its leadership. The council unanimously elected a Chairperson, a Vice Chairperson, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Historian. The group confirmed its regular meeting schedule for the second Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in Conference Room A of the Municipal Building. Under new business, the council discussed the upcoming Public Awareness Weekend on March 24-25, 2017. Members considered topics including Earth Day, recycling day, road clean up, stormwater education, and the “At Your Door” service. Regarding new development plans, the council reviewed a parking lot addition at Impact Church, which is a redevelopment of the Airport Ice Area. Members expressed concern about the lot’s size given it would only be needed one day a week and recommended the developer use best management practices, including a rain garden and permeable pavement. The council also noted that Clearview Credit Union had obtained a permit for changes to its outdoor teller area and would be updating land grading for stormwater, but offered no specific recommendations at this time. In old business, the council finalized plans for Earth Day on April 23, 2017, with a weather theme and a stormwater runoff model. Members discussed a daylily called Hemerocallis Apricot Sprinkles as a potential plant giveaway. For Recycling Day on June 3, 2017, an employee is gathering information for a grant, and a resident offered to contact another resident for volunteer help, possibly including Boy Scouts. The council also addressed electronics collections with JVS, scheduling them for the first Saturday in April, June, August, and October. A discussion about past issues—non-resident participation, rudeness with JVS, and traffic congestion—led to a suggestion that police be present to enforce rules. Some members considered moving the event to the Public Works area on Moon Clinton Road, but others worried this would reduce participation. Regarding the “At Your Door” service, the General Manager raised concerns about a promotional magnet, specifically that it must clearly identify eligibility for residential Waste Management-paying customers. The council agreed with his concerns but disliked the “Attention” headline. An employee will update the magnet design, and the Treasurer will obtain quotes from vendors. The council also noted that the Smoke Free Parks presentation to the Board of Supervisors has been delayed one month, with the Vice Chairperson available for the rescheduled date in late February. Finally, a resident will send profile picture options for the council’s web page, which is the last item needed before publication. The meeting adjourned at 7:04 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on January 11, 2017, and began by reorganizing its leadership.
