Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 17 subject tags
The Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees met July 26 with six members present and two absent. The board approved the June meeting minutes. During public comment, the president of Friends of the Moon Library announced a joint fundraiser at Wilpen Hall, a booth at the Moon Area homecoming carnival on Sept. 21, and a Mr. Magic Car Wash fundraiser from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 that earns $10 per wash. The treasurer reported a cash balance of $996,000 and a completed IRS 990, and trustees agreed to reevaluate investment goals over the next year. The board approved the treasurer’s report. The library director reported the library is making a job offer to a new circulation clerk. Approval of an unattended minor policy was tabled due to lack of quorum and will be conducted electronically. For the 2024 budget, trustees discussed a three-year plan of 4% year-over-year compounding wage increases, noting Moon’s clerk wage of $9 per hour lags behind the Pennsylvania average of $13.46 and Allegheny County’s $11-13 range. The board approved the fall book sale scheduled for Sept. 21-23 at the municipal building. The township requires the library to provide its own dumpster and have it removed before Monday morning business, incurring a rush fee that will significantly reduce profitability. A trustee will approach township supervisors for a cost-effective solution. The building improvement committee reported that the township engineer presented a $2.3 million enhancement plan to the Board of Supervisors, which a supervisor called cost-prohibitive. Trustees discussed educating supervisors about the Keystone grant and pursuing a two-stage approach: planning and design, then execution. Trustees agreed a tiered rent increase in the existing space must be discussed between supervisors and the Moon Township Municipal Authority. The ad hoc trustee search committee has received six resumes and scheduled three interviews. The next meeting is Aug. 30.The Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees met July 26 with six members present and two absent. The board approved the June meeting minutes.
