The Moon Township Board of Supervisors met on August 4, 2021, and took a series of actions related to construction projects, stormwater management, and facility use. The board approved a $1,640 payment to Exotic Hospitality Holdings for a temporary construction easement to build sidewalks along University Boulevard. They authorized an easement agreement with the Moon Township Municipal Authority for sanitary sewer and water line relocation at the Downes Fire Station. The board also approved an indemnification agreement with St. Philip’s Church and Wolf Creek Race Management for the November 13 Harvest Moon Run, which will close Beaver Grade Road for about 2.5 hours. Several contracts and change orders were awarded. The board approved a $6,937 elevator sump pump contract for the municipal building addition to Reno Brothers, Inc., and a $15,197.32 emergency overflow drains contract to Newman Plumbing, Inc. For the Downes Fire Station, they awarded a $105,760 earthwork and clearing contract to Stefanik’s Next Generation Contracting Co., Inc., and approved multiple change orders: an $11,160 add for masonry work, a $3,220 deduct to eliminate an item and add a foundation step, a $6,730 add for plumbing modifications, and a $4,750 add to connect a trench drain. For the municipal building addition, the board approved change orders totaling $28,111.19 for over-excavation, chimney repair, a new exterior door, and insulation; $3,465.26 for electrical work; and $8,500 for roofing material. They also approved a no-cost change order for the 2021 Roadway Improvement Program to adjust the scope of work for the Moon Area School District. The board appointed a resident to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for an unexpired term ending January 2024, and passed Resolution R-29-2021 appointing the township manager as voting delegate and the assistant manager as alternate for the PML Municipal Leadership Summit in October. Bills were paid from the General Fund ($60,532.97), Capital Reserve Fund ($17,862.20), and Stormwater Fund ($1,700), and a $414,609.26 requisition was approved from the 2020 Bond Fund for construction costs. A supervisor abstained from the General Fund bill vote due to a conflict of interest. During public comment, a resident from the Moon Area Senior Citizens Association objected to being charged a fee and losing Friday access to the Carriage House. The board explained that the facility is township property and that a uniform fee system has been implemented for all user groups. The manager’s report highlighted upcoming parks and recreation events, including the farmers market, concerts, and the Moon Wizarding Festival, and noted that the Senior Connection program now has 450 members.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors met on August 4, 2021, and took a series of actions related to construction projects, stormwater management, and facility use.
