Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 41 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a lengthy workshop meeting on January 29, 2020, receiving three major presentations and acting on several administrative items. An employee presented a proposal to create a Moon Township Foundation to raise funds for park projects, recommending five initial board members for appointment. A representative of the Miracle League reported construction delays, noting the building should be complete within a week but that Duquesne Light was non-responsive regarding electrical service; he targeted a June 2020 opening. A representative of the Moon Transportation Authority reviewed the 2020 capital budget totaling over $9.4 million, including the Cherrington Parkway Extension, Thorn Run Interchange Upgrade, and several connector roads. She noted the Thorn Run ramp was closed for safety until the new ramp opens around May 2020. The board voted unanimously to continue the public hearing for the Victoria Ridge Planned Residential Development until March 4, 2020. They approved the purchase of a Steiner Model 450 mower from Burks Lawn and Saw for $30,748.60 under a Costars contract. The board ratified $56,664.79 in bills and approved an additional $410,046.28 in general fund bills, with a supervisor abstaining from the latter due to a conflict of interest with Aqua Fresh, Inc. The Parks and Recreation Director reported the new ice rink is open, pickleball courts are being fenced, and summer camp planning is underway. The board approved nominating five members to a new Dog Park Committee. The Planning Director updated the board on the Rolling Hills PRD, which now proposes 78 townhouse units, and Traditions of America, which requests a zoning change for 162 age-restricted single-family homes. The board favored the Traditions of America request. A resident requested the township deed sloped hillside land surrounding the Castlewood HOA back to the community, but the board declined maintenance responsibility, favoring a license agreement instead. The board supported a naming rights agreement with Brewer Toyota for the park pavilion, valued at $19,000 over two years plus future payments. The board also agreed to participate in the Work Initiative Program again, and discussed several board and commission vacancies, including appointing a resident to the MCA-TV Board.
