Environmental Advisory Committee Meeting

Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 12 subject tags

The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met June 14 and approved minutes from its May 24 meeting after correcting a state senator’s first name. No new land development plans were discussed.

The council finalized plans for its July 2 Community Day and Moon Park’s 50th anniversary booth. Members will staff the table on a coordinated schedule, distribute handouts and materials, and promote the weekly farmers market. A rain barrel giveaway will be held as a raffle; residents can enter by answering water-related trivia questions used at Earth Day or by liking the EAC’s Facebook page. An employee will deliver the question board to an employee before the event. An employee will check whether the township can provide a tent; if not, an employee will loan his. An employee will post an announcement on Facebook.

The council reviewed the June 3 Recycling Day, calling it very successful. Statistics included 987 vehicles, 140 appliances without Freon, 97 with Freon, 594 tires, two large truckloads of construction material, and a meager but worthy amount of medical supplies. Electronics totals will be provided later. Members agreed to update the event flyer: the MTMA phone number should be 412.264.4300, and lawn mowers, grills, and vacuum cleaners should be listed as unacceptable since JVS did not accept them. They also recommended including information about other township events to avoid confusion with the same-day shredding event. An employee noted that a JVS employee’s attitude and language issues need to be addressed, as they could negatively characterize the township.

The council’s Smoke Free Parks presentation to the Board of Supervisors is set for September 27. An employee will attend; all members are welcome. An employee noted the timing aligns with budget discussions for signage. No update was given on the Comp Plan.

The next EAC meeting will be September 6 instead of September 13 due to member availability. The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
