Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 55 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on December 20, 2021, where the board approved a $3,000 proposal from Keystone Structural Solutions for structural engineering services at the Mooncrest Community Center. The board also passed Resolution R-43-2021, authorizing the township manager to submit a traffic signal maintenance agreement and future applications to PennDOT, and separately approved the agreement defining maintenance requirements for all municipal traffic signals. A simple subdivision for Rolling Hills Amendment No. 1, creating individual lots for three townhouse buildings, was approved as recommended by the township engineer. The board ratified bills from the General Fund ($5,690), Stormwater Fund ($1,900), and Short-term Borrowing Fund ($1,500) for December 6-15, and approved payment of bills from the General Fund ($130,319.85) and Sponsorship Fund ($34) for December 16. A supervisor abstained from the General Fund vote due to a bill from his employer, Moon Township Ford. The board voted to send a letter to a State Representative stating Moon Township’s position that it should remain within a single voting district. During public comment, residents spoke on both sides of a controversy over the library’s Facebook post featuring the picture book “The Hips on the Drag Queen go Swish, Swish, Swish,” with some calling it inappropriate for children and others defending the library’s commitment to diversity. The chairman clarified the board has no authority over library staff hiring or firing. The library director reported that threats of violence were made against the children’s librarian and a police report was filed. In other business, an LSSE Engineer reported that an individual will donate $10,000 for new trees after trees were mistakenly removed at the dog park site. The Parks and Recreation Director reported the Moon Lights Holiday Festival was a success, and spring programming is underway. The board also discussed updates on the River Ridge Residential Development, short-term rental ordinance amendment, and various capital projects including the police station storm shelter, Downes Fire Station, and municipal complex improvements.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on December 20, 2021, where the board approved a $3,000 proposal from Keystone Structural Solutions for structural engineering services at the Mooncrest Community Center.
