Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 63 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 30, 2023, where they approved several resolutions and heard reports from various departments. The board unanimously approved Resolution R-27-2023, appointing the township manager as the voting delegate for the PML 2023 Municipal Leadership Summit. They also approved Resolution R-28-2023, authorizing a $100,000 grant application to the Keystone Communities Program through DCED for a video camera project. The township manager was appointed as the Township Open Records Officer. The board ratified bill payments from the General Fund ($16,851.34), Bond Fund ($10,990.00), and Sponsorship Fund ($11,751.10), with a supervisor abstaining from the General Fund vote due to a conflict of interest with Moon Township Ford. The fire marshal reported on the rental inspection program, noting seven completed inspections with permits issued, and 12 individual inspection applications received. He also discussed a new internet-based compliance software for third-party vendor inspection reporting, with no cost to the township. A proposed fire code ordinance amendment is under solicitor review and will be presented for board consideration on September 6. The public safety director provided updates on the Smart Plate System, a $100,000 DCED grant, radio and phone system upgrades, IT security, police vehicle leasing, AEDs, the new RAVE system, and the new police station development. During public comment, a resident expressed concerns about the Gilmary Center development in Findlay Township, particularly regarding traffic studies and intersection safety. The township manager noted communication with Findlay Township and that each project has had a traffic study, but PennDOT does not require updates. The planning director mentioned a future joint meeting with neighboring communities for better coordination. The board also heard updates on the Forest Park tentative planned residential development, which received Planning Commission approval with a public hearing set for October, and a revised master plan for Luna Ridge, which will be presented at the September Planning Commission meeting. The board agreed to continue the 2023 Hunting in the Parks Program.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on August 30, 2023, where they approved several resolutions and heard reports from various departments.
