Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 34 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors began its May 2, 2018 regular meeting by issuing proclamations recognizing Public Service Recognition Week, two new Eagle Scouts, and the Moon Area High School ice hockey team. The board then heard a presentation from the I Love You More Michael Trella Foundation, which offers a $2,000 scholarship and a $500 lacrosse scholarship to Moon Township students. An engineer provided an MS4 training update, noting the township’s new five-year permit requires annual reporting with a $500 fee, a stormwater management ordinance update, and a pollutant reduction plan mandating a 10% sediment and 5% phosphorus reduction by 2023. The board approved minutes from the March 28 workshop and April 4 regular meetings. The continued public hearing on the Marketplace Boulevard TND zoning amendment to define mixed-use buildings was continued again to June 6, 2018, pending further revisions. The board approved a minor land development plan for Robert Morris University’s CHP plant, subject to the planning director’s conditions. They authorized a professional services agreement with KMA Design for wayfinding signage, a $14,875 geotechnical engineering proposal from Garvin Boward Beitko for Kenny Ross Field lighting, and a bond reduction for Foxwood Knolls Phase 4 from $180,000 to $169,518. Pay Application No. 1 for $13,800 was approved for glass block windows at Carnot Fire Station. Contracts were awarded: Arkadia Contracting Inc. for roof replacement at $127,478, Duquesne Fencing for Whispering Woods ballfield fence at $19,650, and Controlled Climate Systems for the Emergency Communications Building mechanical contract at $6,225. All general construction and electrical bids for that building addition were rejected as unnecessary. The board paid bills from April 5 through May 2, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict. During public comment, a resident complained about dead trees along Beaver Grade Road.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors began its May 2, 2018 regular meeting by issuing proclamations recognizing Public Service Recognition Week, two new Eagle Scouts, and the Moon Area High School ice hockey team.
