Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 54 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved the reappointment of an employee to the Moon Township Municipal Authority for a five-year term through January 2026. They released the performance bond for the RMU Event Center, reducing it from $299,806.66 to $0, as recommended by the township engineer. The board also approved an agreement with the Pennsylvania Resources Council to provide residents with convenient access to container glass recycling services. The board approved general fund bills totaling $456,070.19, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict of interest involving Moon Township Ford. They ratified an additional $401,346.30 in general fund bills from late December and early January, and approved $21,986.86 in stormwater fund bills. A $20,000 payment from the Capital Reserve Fund for a Public Library Challenge Grant was tabled for discussion in executive session. During the parks and recreation report, the board learned the Moon Park ice rink has been popular, with late-night hours extended. Pavilion rentals open February 8, and the Neighborhood Bunny Hop will visit all five elementary schools and Robin Hill on April 3. Robin Hill is 95% full for the year, and the building will close in August for a roof replacement. The Senior Connection is using grant funds to purchase laptops and a projector for computer skills classes. Summer camp registration will open two weeks later than usual, with 18 additional spaces added by moving older campers to Robin Hill. The community development department reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the PNC Bank land development, with a conditional use public hearing set for February 3. The Moon Golf Club maintenance building will also go before the board for approval on that date. Diamond Ridge, a plan for three office buildings, was sent back for resubmission by the Planning Commission. A time extension was executed for Luna Ridge, Phase 1, pushing the decision deadline to April 14. The board discussed electronic billboards, but noted the zoning ordinance restricts them to the M-1 Light Industrial District. The engineer reported that bids for the municipal building addition and façade improvements were received, with Declan Construction low at $1,350,000 for general construction. Bids for the Downes Fire Station improvements were also reviewed, but the board decided to rebid the electrical and HVAC contracts after D & G Mechanical withdrew its HVAC bid due to an omitted cost. The engineer also provided updates on the 2021 road program, the Miracle Field, the dog park geotechnical investigation, and the Robin Hill roof replacement, with bids scheduled for March 18.
