The Moon Township Board of Supervisors began its April 5, 2023 regular meeting by recognizing the Moon Girls Gymnastics Team for winning the 2023 WPIAL Championship and proclaiming April 23 as Arbor Day. The Library Director updated the board on library programs, including a new outdoor book club with Moon Parks and Recreation, free tax preparation through VITA, and a partnership with West Hill Art League. A member of the Library Building Committee reported on the committee’s work with LSSE to expand the basement and outside areas using a Keystone State grant. The board unanimously approved the minutes from the February 22 workshop and March 1 regular meeting. In action items, the board approved a $1,464 payment to Valley Ambulance Association for CPR and Stop the Bleed training for staff. They awarded Contract No. 23-S1 for the Mooncrest Sanitary Sewer Extension to Jet Jack, Inc. for $166,700 and approved Change Order No. 1 from Stonemile Group LLC for $7,599.46 to replace gypsum board damaged by adhesive under old chalkboards. Quote No. BH-1222-1201 from Institutional Specialties, Inc. for post-and-panel signage at Downes Fire Station was approved at $15,500. Estimate No. 200005 from Steinberger Floors Inc. for $58,116.76 to install flooring at the Moon Township School House Activity Center was approved, as was the 10th Amendment for the Village at Marketplace Phase 1. The board approved bills from the General Fund ($240,992.02), the 2020 Bond Fund ($45,316.28), the Capital Reserve Fund ($50,487.49), the ARPA Fund ($277,461.36), the Stormwater Fund ($279,034.44), and the Sponsorship Fund ($2,531.89). A supervisor abstained from the General Fund bill list because it included a bill from their employer, Moon Township Ford. During public comment, residents raised safety concerns about speeding on Jackson Road and Flaugherty Run Road. The police chief noted a traffic assessment would be done on Jackson Road. The township manager stated the township does not typically install speed bumps but said staff would work with LSSE, Public Works, and police to explore converting Jackson Road to one-way. Residents also discussed school bus stop placement. Supervisors thanked police, fire, and public works for their response to recent windstorms and praised township staff for managing a balanced budget.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors began its April 5, 2023 regular meeting by recognizing the Moon Girls Gymnastics Team for winning the 2023 WPIAL Championship and proclaiming April 23 as Arbor Day.
