Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 40 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on March 28, 2018, where they approved the First Addendum to the Community Benefits Agreement with Tapestry Moon, LLC for the proposed senior living facility at 550 Cherrington Parkway, subject to the document being acceptable to the township manager and solicitor. The Board heard a presentation from the Historical Society seeking permission to preserve the Onstott House on South Patton Drive, which is threatened by a potential road study by the Moon Transportation Authority; the Board agreed to move forward and discuss next steps. Robert Morris University requested the Board consider reducing the Admissions/Amusement Tax from 10% to 5%, with a target effective date of 2019; the solicitor noted an ordinance would need to be advertised for three consecutive weeks. The Ohio River Trail Council requested the Township act as applicant for a $40,000 Active Allegheny Grant for trail design and engineering; the township manager asked for proper documents to meet the April 13 deadline. A resident complained about cars parked along Ridge Road impeding access, but Public Works and Fire reported no difficulties. The Board received updates on the Marketplace Boulevard TND Amendment, with a public hearing scheduled for April 4, and on the CarRight minor land development and conditional use application. The Township received a $230,000 GEDF grant for the Moon Park playground project and will need to enter an agreement before bidding. The engineer reported that the Boggs School Road soil nail wall project is nearing completion, with a third pay application of $166,458.90 recommended for approval. Staff recommended awarding the Mooncrest sidewalk project to Baiano Construction, Inc. for a base bid of $107,060.19 and an alternate for the Carnot Fire Station sidewalk for $5,400. The Board discussed two capital purchases: a zero-turn mower for $12,015.96 and a Ford F-550 for $75,493.00, both to be voted on at the next regular meeting. The Board indicated support for MCA-TV to negotiate a $0.10 increase in the PEG fee from Verizon and to connect to the RMU Media Center.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on March 28, 2018, where they approved the First Addendum to the Community Benefits Agreement with Tapestry Moon, LLC for the proposed senior living facility at 550 Cherrington Parkway, subject to the document being acceptable to the township manager and solicitor.
