The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 30, 2017, with the chairman presiding and all members present except one supervisor. The board heard three presentations. An employee and HRG Engineering presented the Moon Park Playground Redevelopment Plan, with estimated construction costs of $1,457,634, and discussed a $250,000 DCNR grant requiring a $250,000 township match, plus a possible $200,000-$250,000 ACT 13 grant. A representative of Smartlink proposed Verizon Wireless leasing a 12' x 25' rooftop space at the Moon Township Public Library for $1,750 monthly rent. A representative presented a rezoning proposal for Marketplace Boulevard to create a new ND District allowing mixed-use development and increasing building height from four to five stories. The board approved a motion to spend $2,000 for installation of Flexmaster safety renovation treads on the Public Safety Building stairs, expected to last about two years. The township engineer reported the University Boulevard sidewalk project remains on schedule for September 25 construction, with temporary construction easement agreements coming for approval. He noted the Brooks School sidewalk project faces significant delays, with PennDOT approvals expected to take 6-9 months, pushing construction to August or November 2018 at best. The board discussed relocating Endeavor Field to accommodate a Miracle League field, with the recommended option being placement behind Clearview Pavilion. The township manager reported that 80 of 84 Berringer Court residents signed a petition requesting the township take over the road. The board reviewed financial reports for July 2017, the capital reserve fund invoice listing, and the check register. The parks and recreation director reported 49 children signed up for flag football and announced the BBQ/Blues Festival on September 23. The board discussed Ordinance No. 666, a drone ordinance requested by the county, and Ordinance No. 470, the township cafeteria plan update.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 30, 2017, with the chairman presiding and all members present except one supervisor.
