Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 23 subject tags
The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on February 15, 2024, but lacked a quorum, so no official votes or binding actions were taken. Members discussed comment letters on a land development plan, with a council member raising stormwater management, traffic patterns, and handicap access, and another council member proposing alternative native plantings; a Planning Specialist said both sets of comments would be forwarded to the developer. For the June 1 Recycling Day, the Planning Specialist reported higher tire recycling costs, and the council considered raising the resident tire fee from $2 to $3, but a council member noted that if flyers already went out in municipal authority bills, the fee must stay the same; the Planning Specialist will check with the general manager. The council discussed supporting the National Wildlife Federation Monarch Pledge, with the Planning Specialist to pass that recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. For Earth Day on April 21 at Robin Hill Park, the Planning Specialist and a Youth Coordinator reviewed confirmed tabling organizations, police participation, mascots, trail clearing, printing quotes for reusable bags, and the climbing wall cost; the council discussed sponsorship opportunities. The Planning Specialist listed the 2024 electronic recycling dates: April 6, June 1, August 3, and October 5. A council member will attend the EAC Virtual Conference after another council member withdrew. Board of Supervisors President thanked the council, stressed planting native trees, urged involvement in the Tree City program via the Arbor Day Foundation, suggested exploring deer culling, and invited a council member to present an annual report at a supervisors’ workshop. A resident noted the council’s website landing page was broken, asked if the council receives Phase I studies, and emphasized the council’s role in landslide mitigation; a council member said the website issue would be investigated and invited the resident to fill a vacant board seat. The next meeting is March 13.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on February 15, 2024, but lacked a quorum, so no official votes or binding actions were taken.
