Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 54 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to rescind a 2010 restriction on the Robin Hill Park Trust fund, allowing the money to be used for structures inside the park, not just outside improvements, with the donor’s family to be consulted on any structural work. The board also approved Resolution R-39-2023, authorizing the township manager and assistant manager to execute documents for a $750,000 grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority. Supervisors approved the purchase of three 2023 Dodge Durangos from Laurel Auto Group for $171,732.54, to be lease-financed over three years with a $1 purchase option. Bills totaling $12,773.19 were ratified, with the vice chairman abstaining due to a conflict of interest. During public comment, a resident asked about the stalled Victoria Ridge development; the planning director said the developer is awaiting bank approval of a new contractor. The board heard the 2022 audit presentation, which showed positive fund balances and budget performance. The parks and recreation director reported that the Spooktacular event will return to Robert Morris University on October 23, 2024, after mixed feedback. The fire marshal updated on inspections and grants, and the finance director noted strong real estate tax collection with only about $131,000 outstanding. The engineer reported that Foxwood Drive may be added to the road paving program due to resident complaints and that bids for the Philomena Drive stream restoration open January 15, 2024. The board also discussed a zoning text amendment for flex space, a conditional use for 29 apartments at 200 Grant Drive, and a public hearing set for December 6 on the Forest Park planned residential development. The library board reported a plan to renovate the MTMA basement for children’s programs at an estimated $36,000.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to rescind a 2010 restriction on the Robin Hill Park Trust fund, allowing the money to be used for structures inside the park, not just outside improvements, with the donor’s family to be consulted on any structural work.
