The Moon Township Board of Supervisors met June 7 and approved an indemnification and hold harmless agreement with St. Philip’s Church and Wolf Creek Race Management for the temporary closure of Beaver Grade Road for the 16th Annual Harvest Moon Run on Nov. 11. They passed Resolution R-21-2023, authorizing the sale of township-owned personal property. The board voted to support state Bill 589, which would create a coal and clay mine subsidence and landslide insurance program. Supervisors accepted a $174,420 state grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency for the police department’s records management system and technology equipment upgrade, and authorized a two-year, $174,420 agreement with CODY Systems for licensed software and professional services. The police chief noted the current system dates to the mid-1990s and will soon lose support. The board also approved a $6,800 quote from Institutional Specialties Inc., under a Co-Stars contract, for new post-and-panel signage at the Sister Rene Procopio Activity Center at 308 Hemlock Drive. Minutes from the April 26 workshop and May 3 regular meeting were approved. The board approved payment of bills from multiple funds: $583,758.68 from the General Fund, $558,144.26 from the 2020 Bond Fund for construction costs, $120,961.02 from the ARPA Fund, $68,171.82 from the Liquid Fuels Fund, $36,936.10 from Short-Term Borrowing, $28,120.28 from the Capital Reserve Fund, $25,098.35 from the Stormwater Fund, $6,942.46 from the Sponsorship Fund, and $681.09 from the Military Banner Fund. A supervisor abstained from the General Fund vote due to his employment at Moon Township Ford. During public comment, a resident criticized the board’s creation of a $100,000 Public Safety Director position, arguing it effectively cut the police budget. He said the department has only 32 officers and should have 48, and that officers are overworked. He urged the board to redirect the funds to the police department. The board also heard the township manager’s report, which announced a joint crack-sealing contract on Montour Run Road, scheduled summer recreation events, and thanked the Environmental Advisory Council for hosting a recent recycling event.
