Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 34 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on October 24, 2017, with all members present except a board member. After an executive session announcement regarding potential property acquisitions, the board heard three presentations. The Moon Area Soccer Association proposed a two-story building at Pronto Fields, including bathrooms, a concession stand, and a meeting room, and requested variances as the building would be within 50 feet of a road; the board indicated a turf field was not currently feasible. Peoples Natural Gas Company requested a change to its right-of-way agreement to expand an existing meter station at Olson Park from a 10x10-foot site to a 10x18-foot site, with the solicitor requesting written documentation. The Moon Township Girls Softball organization requested township funding to install field lighting at Kenny Ross Field in Moon Park, noting they were working with donors to cover most costs. The board approved a motion to reduce the performance security for Foxwood Knolls PRD Phase 3 from $2,500 to $0, as recommended by the township engineer. The Community Development Department reported that the Riverview at Staunton Heights residential development application was tabled by the developer, and the Zoning Hearing Board had denied a variance for slopes over 40%. The engineer reported that Youngblood Paving’s second pay application for the 2017 Road Improvement Program was returned due to an error, and that bids for the Boggs School Road soil nailing project were received, with Nicholson Construction the lowest bidder for the full project at $588,500 and GeoBuild the lowest for the base bid area. The engineer also noted progress on the Green Light Go traffic signal project, University Boulevard sidewalk construction, and a quote of $10,850 for sequential flashing chevron signs on Coraopolis Heights Road, with $4,000 in donations already secured. The finance director presented September financial reports and a check register. The parks and recreation director reported on upcoming events including Spooktacular, the Christmas tree lighting, and an outdoor skating rink, and noted the playground redevelopment plans were with HRG for grant submission. The manager distributed proposals for delinquent tax collection. The board previewed the regular meeting agenda, which included appointments for tax collectors and a proclamation for RMU-TV’s Emmy award.
