The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on December 19, 2018, taking several formal actions. The board unanimously approved Ordinance No. 682, amending the Parks and Recreation Board membership and regulations, and Resolution No. R-25-2018, which increases that board’s membership and clarifies term limits. They approved two bond reductions: one for the Robert Morris University Event Center, dropping from $3,198,873.30 to $1,338,500.00, and another for the Senior Living Community at Brodhead Road, from $1,443,303.89 to $1,114,151.02. A contract for Grant Drive inlet repairs was awarded to Mele & Mele & Sons, Inc. for $18,000. The board also approved a Special Duty Police Services Agreement with FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., under which the township will provide a uniformed officer and marked vehicle at the FedEx complex weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with FedEx paying the officer’s hourly rate, benefits, and a 15% administrative fee capped at $4,500 per week in 2019 and $4,700 in 2020, running from June 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. During public comment, several residents spoke in favor of a proposed chicken ordinance, with a resident presenting an “Urban Farming Proposal” and noting a petition showing support from 23 households. The planning director reported that the draft ordinance is still under review by the Planning Commission, with a public hearing expected after county and solicitor review. The Moon Area Soccer Association requested and received a waiver of township application and permit fees for lighting improvements at the Pronto and Minton soccer fields. The engineer reported on two paving contractor pay applications totaling over $740,000 and noted that the 2019 road improvement contract will not include an escalator clause. The parks and recreation director updated the board on playground construction, a successful Light Up Night and Brunch with Santa, and a senior trip to Heinz Hall. The township manager reported that a Comcast franchise agreement proposal for $14,365 will appear on the January 7 agenda, and the board agreed to advertise a mutual assistance agreement with the Moon Area School District.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on December 19, 2018, taking several formal actions.
