Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 32 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on November 5, 2018, to finalize the 2019 budget across all funds. During public comment, no residents spoke. The police chief reported that the Moon Area School District initially planned to fully fund the School Resource Officer but later proposed a 50% cost share. A supervisor moved that the Township continue funding only if the District pays 60% plus the full cost of the vehicle; the township manager will negotiate with the superintendent. The finance director reviewed the 2019 General Fund budget. The board voted 3-2 to eliminate a proposed new Engineer position, with three supervisors in favor and two opposed. They reduced Training & Education from $25,000 to $15,000, Website Enhancement from $14,500 to $5,400, and the Holiday/Event Fund from $10,000 to $7,800. For Parks Programming, the board cut Materials & Supplies from $6,000 to $4,000, Department Attire from $1,000 to $700, and Printing from $2,500 to $500. They agreed to make an employee full-time and hire a part-time Assistant Parks and Recreation Director at 20 hours per week, plus a part-time clerk at 25 hours for Senior Programming. In capital projects, the board eliminated $10,000 for floor covering at Fire House Bays, changed the Boggs Run front glass entrance budget from $25,000 to $30,000, deferred $18,000 for Boggs interior painting to 2020, and cut $24,200 for exterior step replacement at Carnot Station. The board will meet again on November 13 at 7:00 p.m. to finalize the budget.
