The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on November 1, 2023, with the chairman presiding and all members present except one supervisor. The board first approved minutes from several prior meetings. The police chief introduced a new officer, a highly qualified recruit with a master’s degree and experience at multiple agencies. The board then held a continued public hearing on the Forest Park Planned Residential Development, a proposed 300-unit project. Several residents voiced concerns about a second entrance planned for narrow, winding Becks Run Road, citing traffic and safety hazards for children and pedestrians. The developer noted a minor tree selection change. The board continued the hearing without a vote. A second public hearing was held and closed for the Park at Luna Ridge Revised Master Plan, a non-residential development on 35 acres off Marketplace Boulevard, with no public comment. The board approved Resolution R-36-2023, authorizing submission of a sewage facility planning module for Forest Park to the DEP. They approved simple subdivisions for the Village at Marketplace Phase 2A Rev. 4 and the Bundy-River Ridge Plan. Bond reductions were approved for Allegheny County Airport Authority Cargo Building 4 (from $30.9 million to $6.9 million) and Prism at Diamond Ridge (from $1.57 million to $108,509). The board approved a $20,000 CDBG grant for automatic door openers at the Schoolhouse Activity Center, a $1 million CFA grant for Public Safety Building Phase 2 renovations, and a $525,000 CFA grant for the Boggs VFC waterline extension. They authorized up to $12.5 million in MIDA bonds for Rosedale Technical College and approved condemnation proceedings for stormwater improvements near Olsen Park. Two change orders for the police station project were denied. A solicitor was appointed for the UCC Board of Appeals. The board approved the 2024 proposed budget for public display, with supervisors noting no tax increase. Bills were paid from multiple funds totaling over $1.7 million, with one supervisor abstaining from the general fund vote due to a conflict of interest.
