Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 35 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors, with a supervisor absent, convened on August 2, 2023, and took significant legislative and administrative action. The board closed a public hearing and unanimously approved Ordinance No. 698, amending Chapter 27 of the Zoning Code to establish dog daycare as a permitted use. A representative of Dog Topia presented the application, emphasizing that the facility would focus on daycare rather than boarding. In a separate public hearing, the board closed the record and unanimously approved Ordinance No. 699, which adds architectural requirements for Planned Residential Development (PRD) applications. The Planning Director explained the amendment aims to ensure higher quality design elements and materials, following a recommendation from the Planning Commission. The board approved Resolution R-25-2023, authorizing the Township Manager to sign agreements for the annual PennDOT Police Traffic Services Grant, which funds overtime for impaired driving, aggressive driving, occupant protection, and pedestrian safety enforcement. The Police Chief noted a recent successful DUI checkpoint. Resolution R-26-2023 was also approved, opting the township into the Allegheny County Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnerships Programs for the 2024-2026 program years. The board approved the Simple Subdivision Plan for the Village at Marketplace Phase 2A, 1st Amendment, as recommended by the Township Engineer. They also accepted the resignation of the Assistant Township Manager, effective August 16, 2023, with supervisors offering thanks and best wishes. In financial matters, the board approved payments from the General Fund ($275,425.23), the 2020 Bond Fund for construction costs ($304,762.05), the ARPA Fund ($52,650.33), the Capital Reserve Fund ($25,888.75), the Stormwater Fund ($12,302.03), the Sponsorship Fund ($3,250.97), and the Military Fund ($25.40). A supervisor abstained from the General Fund vote due to his employment with Moon Township Ford, a vendor on the bill register. The meeting concluded with announcements about upcoming community events, including the Moon Markets and Music series, a Fire Truck Golf Ball Drop, and a quarterly electronics collection.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors, with a supervisor absent, convened on August 2, 2023, and took significant legislative and administrative action.
