The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on April 26, 2017, with the Vice Chairman presiding. All members were present except one supervisor. The board approved four action items: retaining Meyer Unkovic & Scott to review legal issues related to the Township Cafeteria Plan and ratifying the township manager's authorization to execute the engagement letter; retaining Michael Baker International as the Township's alternate geotechnical engineer due to a conflict of interest with Garvin Boward Beitko on the Robert Morris University project; approving performance security reduction request No. 17 for Cimarron Phases 1 and 2, lowering the security from $29,000 to $14,300; and approving a Memorandum of Understanding with the 911th Airlift Wing for the 2017 Wings Over Pittsburgh Open House. The board heard a presentation from the Moon Soccer Association on field needs, including a proposed all-turf field with lights costing $500,000 to $1 million, possibly combined with a Miracle Baseball field. A CPA presented the 2016 township audit, noting discussion on the General Fund balance and promising a budget vs. actual report for the next meeting. The planning director provided updates on several development items: the final land development plan for Wiltshire Estates Phase 4 (10 townhouses, 43 units) for the May 3 agenda; a modification request for two storm sewer manholes exceeding 15 feet in depth; a rezoning request for Crighton Plastics at 507 and 509 Moon Clinton Road from MX to RT District; Patrick's Pub's request to pay a fee in lieu of sidewalks; the Robert Morris University Event Center major land development plan to expand seating from 3,056 to 4,000; and a rezoning of properties on Thorn Run Road and Beaver Grade Road from BP to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District. The engineer reported on ADA door invoices, with SHACOG increasing the CDBG grant to $25,000, leaving a township cost of $15,474 for the May 3 agenda.
