The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on June 28, 2023, where they approved several action items. The board unanimously approved Bond Reduction Request No. 10 for the Village at Marketplace Phase 1, reducing the bond from $745,517.40 to $698,867.40 as recommended by the township engineer. They also approved Resolution R-22-2023, authorizing a $300,000 grant application to the Commonwealth Financing Authority for a Watershed Restoration and Protection grant to fund Pollutant Reduction Plan implementation. A work order for a 72-inch zero-turn Walker mower with trimmer holst from Phelps Outdoor Power Equipment was approved for $15,344.99. The board ratified bill payments from the General Fund ($31,987.17), ARPA Fund ($2,600), and Stormwater Fund ($200), with the chairman abstaining from the General Fund vote due to his employment with Moon Township Ford. During public comment, a resident raised concerns about apartment advertisements in Whispering Woods and Gilmary that are technically in Findlay Township; the township manager said she would contact Findlay Township. The board heard a presentation from Hollow Oak Land Trust and a family regarding a proposed 16-acre subdivision at 350 Ewings Mill Road to expand a conservation area and trail system. The planning director noted this item would appear on the July 5 agenda for formal approval. Other development items scheduled for future action included the Cornell Consolidation Plan, River Ridge final plan, Sheetz conditional use application, a dog daycare ordinance amendment, Walmart minor land development, the PA Army National Guard maintenance facility, Chick-fil-A, Apex at Diamond Ridge, and a revised plan for Luna Ridge. The township engineer reported that Youngblood Paving had been awarded the 2023 roadway improvements contract for $752,945, covering multiple streets including Western Avenue, Gladwood Drive, and Charlton Heights Road. The engineer also provided updates on stormwater projects, the Mooncrest Community Center (substantially complete with a grand opening estimated in August), the police station construction, and the Downes Fire Station. The board declined a request from Neville Township to contract Moon Township police services. The parks and recreation director reported successful events including the first Kids Amphitheater event, pop-up Popsicles in the Park, and the Moon Market and Music series, noting 300 registrations for the upcoming Glow Run 5k. The dog park opening was delayed pending grass growth, and the splash pad repairs were postponed until end of summer.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on June 28, 2023, where they approved several action items.
