The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on March 27, 2019, with the chairman and two supervisors present; two supervisors were absent. During public comment, a resident requested township assistance with his private road, which is in disrepair due to a lack of neighbor agreement on maintenance. The solicitor explained the township has no legal access to private roads without all residents granting permission. The township manager suggested sending a letter to neighbors to coordinate a meeting, and the planning director offered to facilitate. A representative of Hollow Oak Land Trust presented a request for the township to serve as the applicant for a PA DCED Industrial Sites Reuse Program grant to fund a Phase II environmental assessment of the former Nike Missile site, which Hollow Oak hopes to add to the Montour Woods Conservation Area. A 25% local match is required, and a cooperation agreement will be needed. The board took no action on this item. The parks and recreation director reported that the playground is on track for an April 20th opening, the Robin Hill patio project was awarded to JT Landscaping, and the Parks and Recreation Board voted to locate a dog park at Galaxy Park. The engineer reported that bids were opened for the 2019 Road Improvements, with Youngblood Paving, Inc. as the low bidder at $1,214,422.00; for Endeavor Soccer Field Fencing, Duquesne Fence, Inc. was the low bidder at $33,969.00; and for Kenny Ross Field Lighting, Plavchak Construction Co., Inc. was the low bidder. The engineer also presented a detailed stormwater fee proposal, recommending a $5.50 per ERU per month fee based on an analysis of township expenses totaling $1,317,484 annually. The finance director reported that real estate tax bills are ready to mail and that the audit is slightly delayed due to the field auditor’s health issues. The township manager noted that the judge ruled guilty on all but one count in a legal case and that the defendant will be banned from Earth Day. A supervisor reported that SHACOG discussed Waste Management’s attempt to reduce recycling services and that the Civil Disturbance Team is on hold.
