The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on June 6, 2018, at which all members were present except one supervisor. The board began by hearing a presentation from an employee of Wheels, Wings, Wishes, a nonprofit hosting its fourth annual car show fundraiser at Moon Park on June 24 to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation. The board then read proclamations recognizing a resident for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and the Moon Area School District Dance Teams for their accomplishments. The director of the Allegheny County Health Department presented Moon Township with a plaque for its participation in the Live Well Allegheny program, citing the township’s commitment to multi-modal transportation, farmers markets, and smoke-free buildings. The board approved the minutes from the April 25 workshop and May 2 regular meetings. They continued the public hearing on the proposed Marketplace Boulevard TND zoning amendment to the July 11 regular meeting. Under action items, the board approved the purchase of a 2019 Ford F-250 pickup truck for the volunteer fire department for $34,755, an Atlas Copco breaker for public works for $17,900, and a hydraulic compactor for public works for $9,761. They approved a sponsorship agreement with Robert Morris University for a virtual set at the MCA-TV studio at $3,500 a year for four years, and pay applications for painting at the Carnot Fire Station ($35,460) and the Mooncrest sidewalk project ($13,385). The board approved a bond reduction for Wiltshire Estates Phase 1 from $45,589 to $25,696, denied a reduction for Phase 2, and approved a reduction for Phase 3 from $30,316 to $26,620. They awarded the Moon Park security services contract to Capital Asset Protection at $19.86 per hour and the playground project to Murin & Murn for $477,459, which was $147,000 under estimate. They approved geotechnical services for a proposed fire station and option and right-of-way agreements with Duquesne Light for an easement at 304 Hemlock Drive and poles and anchors in Moon Park. The board transferred $94,000 from the capital reserve fund to cover a waterline at Moon Park and a grant transfer to the Moon Area School District, and approved $63,668 to the municipal authority for the waterline work and $30,000 to the school district. They also paid the bills; one supervisor abstained due to a conflict of interest. The township manager reported on the summer mobile recreation unit, concerts, senior events, the Fourth of July celebration, a document shredding event, waterline work on Lang Drive and Shaffer Road, and her visit to Fort Indiantown Gap. During audience comments, a resident complained about a neighbor; the solicitor advised continued documentation and police contact.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on June 6, 2018, at which all members were present except one supervisor.
