The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on March 4, 2020, with all five members present. The board approved minutes from the January 29, 2019 workshop, February 5, 2020 regular, and February 19, 2020 special meetings. The majority of the meeting centered on the Victoria Ridge Planned Residential Development, a continuation of a public hearing from December 2019. The applicant’s engineer presented a tentative plan, proposing to plant tree seeds rather than full-size trees on a steep slope and to improve signage at a new entrance on Flaugherty Run Road. During public comment, a resident objected to a requested waiver allowing a utility line to cross his property at an angle other than 90 degrees, arguing the easement was obtained unethically by the Moon Township Municipal Authority. Another resident reinforced those concerns, citing potential water table disturbance to his well and septic system. The board voted unanimously to close the public hearing. On action items, the board approved the final PRD application for the Rolling Hills Plan, subject to conditions. They passed Resolution R-10-2020 appointing an investment banker and Dinsmore & Shohl as bond counsel, and Resolution R-11-2020 authorizing an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with North Fayette, Crescent, Collier, and Valley Ambulance Authority for joint paving bids. A separate cooperation agreement with those entities was also approved. The board adopted Resolution R-12-2020 amending employee salary classifications, appointed an individual for bond counsel services, and appointed an individual as an alternate on the Zoning Hearing Board. They released performance bonds to the Moon Area Soccer Association, Robert Morris University, and Pittsburgh Airport Property, a maintenance bond to AutoZone, and reduced a stormwater facility maintenance bond for the Goddard School. The board approved payment of bills totaling $45,272.36 from the General Fund, $71,031.37 from the Capital Reserve Fund, $795 from the Sponsorship Fund, $123,006.37 from the Liquid Fuels Fund, and $4,821.77 from the Stormwater Fund. In supervisor remarks, a supervisor noted attending the state of the Airport event and joining a comprehensive plan committee with the school board. A supervisor discussed avoiding a tax increase through bond consultation. Two supervisors described the meeting as the start of a funding process for addressing the township’s fire, police, and municipal building needs.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on March 4, 2020, with all five members present.
