The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a series of resolutions at its May 29 workshop meeting. The board unanimously passed Resolution R-19-2019, amending the personnel policies manual to allow hiring of relatives in certain instances and eliminating the non-existent Controller position from the operations manual. Resolution R-20-2019 authorized the chairman to sign a reimbursement and maintenance agreement with PennDOT for ADA ramps. The board also adopted the updated 2019 Emergency Operations Plan via Resolution R-21-2019. A tenth performance security reduction for the Senior Living Community at Brodhead Road was approved, lowering the bond from $1,014,446.07 to $610,936.24. Later in the meeting, the board passed Resolution R-22-2019, authorizing submission for a $250,000 Act 13 Greenways, Trails, and Recreation Program grant. During public comment, a resident pressed for completion of Spring Run and Boggs School roads and a traffic light. The township manager said the county is resurfacing the road but is locating the property owner; she will send a letter to the county and price a township-installed light. The board heard a presentation from Hope Grows on its R2 zoning at 183 Shafer Road. A CPA reviewed the 2018 audit, noting general fund revenues exceeded budget by $698,142 and expenditures were under budget by $609,577, leaving an actual fund balance of about $6.3 million versus a budgeted $3 million. A sergeant presented the updated emergency operations plan. In other business, the board received updates on the Luna Ridge master plan, the Village of Sharon (recommended for approval by the Planning Commission), and the Village at Marketplace Phase 1 and sketch plan. The LERTA tax abatement ordinance was advertised for a June 5 vote. The board also committed $4,000 in matching funds for the RideACTA shuttle program. The engineer reported that the 2019 road improvement program started May 28, the Miracle League field is under construction, and the Boggs Run Fire Station garage floor polymer coating was recommended for both bays at $20,419. The board approved a motion to enter executive session and later reconvened to approve a separation and release agreement with an employee.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a series of resolutions at its May 29 workshop meeting.
