Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 64 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors at its May 30 workshop accepted the 2017 municipal audit from a CPA, who noted the township’s unassigned General Fund balance of $4.09 million was about 24% of the approved budget, above the GFOA’s recommended 16% level. The CPA encouraged the board to consider switching from modified accrual to full accrual accounting. The board approved three performance security reductions: No. 4 for the Senior Living Community on Brodhead Road, from $1,764,756.35 to $1,685,246.41; No. 1 for Impact Christian Church, from $364,289.20 to $38,817.20; and No. 12 for Noble Woods, releasing the remaining $41,661.00. The Planning Director reported on a text amendment to the Marketplace Boulevard TND District that would allow up to 40% of a parcel in Office or Commercial Land Use Areas to be developed as multi-family residential. He also gave updates on the Sullivan Property’s proposed 385-unit mixed-use residential development, the June 13 Zoning Hearing Board agenda, and new resident meetings. The board discussed a proposed Robert Morris University admission tax reduction from 10% to 5%, with the Solicitor directed to prepare the paperwork. The Finance Director presented the April 2018 financial reports, capital reserve fund invoice listing, and check register for May 3-25. The Parks and Recreation Director reported on summer program registrations, Memorial Day events, and completed playground equipment relocations. The board agreed to allow spray pad runoff from the Moon Park Playground Redevelopment to flow into the southern rain garden, with a 10-year cost estimate of $92,000. The playground project has $250,000 from DCNR and $230,000 from an Allegheny County GEDF grant, with $30,000 of that designated for the Moon Area School District. A waterline extension for Moon Park was discussed for the June 6 agenda. The Engineer provided updates on road improvements, MS4 permit renewal, and the Carnot Fire Station painting contract. Capital purchases previewed for the June 6 agenda included a 2019 Ford F-250 service truck for Moon VFD at $34,755, a hydraulic compactor at $9,761, and a hoe ram at $17,900 for Public Works, plus a sponsorship agreement with RMU for a virtual set for MCA-TV.
