The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop meeting on November 15, 2017, with three supervisors present and two absent. The board’s sole action item was a motion to approve the 2018 proposed budget as prepared for public display. The motion carried unanimously. The supervisors praised the budget process and the format of the document. Under other business, the township manager provided an update on Act 42 of 2017, which authorizes up to ten Category 4 mini-casinos in Pennsylvania. She explained that host municipalities would receive 50% of the 4% local assessment fee, capped at 50% of the municipality’s 2016-2017 budget adjusted for inflation. The township manager noted that municipalities can prohibit such casinos by passing a resolution before December 31, 2017, and that PSATS was seeking Moon Township’s support. The board deferred discussion to the next workshop meeting. A supervisor reported a resident’s complaint about non-working Library parking lot lights; the township manager said she would have Public Works follow up. The township manager also announced that the board re-appointment and vacancy list would be presented at the December 20 workshop. The planning director updated the board on an upcoming Planning Commission meeting, which would include a presentation on the Miracle League Field and a conditional use application from Allegheny County to relocate its Emergency Services Center. The planning director also reported on a Moon Transportation Authority meeting regarding the Stevenson Mill connection and a meeting with Uni Real Estate about various properties. The township manager reminded the board that Light-up-Night is scheduled for December 2.
