Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 42 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 31, 2022, taking several concrete actions. The board unanimously approved three bond reduction requests for the Wiltshire Estates development: Phase 1 was reduced from $25,696.44 to $11,000, Phase 2 from $22,392.40 to $5,500, and Phase 4 from $41,675 to $7,337, all as recommended by the township engineer. The board ratified payment of bills from the General Fund totaling $81,931.52 for August 3-30, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict of interest, and from the Stormwater Fund for $83.25. During public comment, a resident raised concerns about a neighbor dumping yard trimmings on Londonbury Islands, prompting discussion about whether the township or HOA has jurisdiction. An employee of Hollow Oak Land Trust presented on completing the Montour Woods Greenway loop, seeking guidance on crossing Beaver Grade Road to Moon Park; the board directed staff to contact Allegheny County Airport first before funding a traffic study. A resident and others proposed building a sports complex off Hookstown Grade Road, and the board discussed funding and leasing. The police chief introduced three new officers and requested authorization for a second School Resource Officer under a 65/35 cost split with the school district, funded by a grant; the board agreed to place a motion on the September 7 agenda. The board also approved the 2022-2023 Public Archery Only Deer Hunting Program, increasing the number of permits and allowing hunting on the two Sundays permitted by the PA Game Commission. The parks director reported that Moon Park remains busy, a Pokémon Go event drew over 300 attendees, and the township received grants for electric vehicle charging stations and park signage. The planning director noted that the Miracle League playground building permit is on hold pending additional drainage information, and Sheetz is considering a new location at Stoops Ferry Road. The engineer provided updates on numerous road, stormwater, and municipal building projects. The board also set the 2023 budget workshop schedule for October 10, 12, and 24.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 31, 2022, taking several concrete actions.
