The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved three action items at its Dec. 20 workshop meeting. The board unanimously approved Pay Application No. 3 from Baiano Construction for $24,259.85 for the University Boulevard sidewalks project and Pay Application No. 1 from the same contractor for $32,919.79 for the Brodhead Road at University Boulevard sidewalks project, both as recommended by the township engineer. The board also approved performance security reduction request No. 2 for the Senior Living Community at Brodhead Road, cutting the security from $2,235,345.08 to $1,857,804.28. The township engineer noted he had received complaints about mud on the road from that site and was directed to contact the developer. The board appointed an employee to the Library Board of Trustees for a three-year term retroactive to Jan. 1, 2017. During the Community Development report, the planning director briefed the board on three plans headed to the Planning Commission that evening: a minor land development for Robinson Peripheral Developers Plan 10 to create a non-developable parcel in a floodplain; a minor land development for Mariner Health to split an existing parcel; and the Brodhead Corner major land development plan, also in the floodplain. In his engineer’s report, the township engineer recommended approval of Youngblood Change Order No. 2, which reduces the contract by $10,718.90 and extends the schedule to May 25, 2018, with Moon Township’s share increasing by about $10,000 for additional paving. Bids for the Emergency Communications Building Addition came in at $146,925, exceeding the $115,000 budget; staff will review options. The township engineer recommended a $20,000 geotechnical investigation for the Miracle League Field and presented the proposed 2018 Road Improvement Program, with $200,000 for Boggs School Road and $800,000 for a list of township roads. On the Thorn Run Interchange HOPs, the board favored having HUB properties as a co-applicant. The township engineer also reported that PennDOT cut back a tree blocking sight lines at the University Boulevard-RMU traffic signal and recommended changing left-turn signal phasing. The finance director presented November financial reports and the check register. The parks and recreation director reported on holiday events, the Endeavor Field relocation, and planning for 2018. The solicitor noted that an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with the Moon Area School District for pool use still needs liability specifics and cannot be on the Jan. 2, 2018 agenda, while a community benefits agreement with Tapestry Senior Housing is ready for signature. The township manager noted a 7% insurance premium increase, the upcoming PSATS conference, and the reorganization meeting set for Jan. 2 at 6 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 7:11 p.m.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved three action items at its Dec. 20 workshop meeting.
