The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on February 28, 2024, where they approved several action items. The board unanimously passed Resolution R-10-2024, authorizing the township manager to submit a PA DCNR grant application for a Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. They also approved a bond reduction request for the Sheetz at 9002 University Blvd., reducing the bond from $4,400 to $0, and approved a simple subdivision for the Village at Marketplace Phase 1 Rev. 13, both as recommended by the township engineer. The board ratified payment of bills from the General Fund totaling $10,240.50, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict of interest. During department reports, the police chief reviewed the 2023 yearly summary and January 2024 activity reports. A sergeant reported receiving a $17,000 grant for 10 new AED machines, now installed in all patrol cars and township buildings. The police chief also provided a recruitment update, noting ongoing efforts to attract minority, female, and multi-lingual officers, and discussed the school resource officer program. The public works director updated the board on MS4 and stormwater items, roadway issues including hillside slides on Stags Leap and Beaver Grade Road, pothole repairs, and park projects such as the dog park, Olson Park bridges, and the splash pad. He also announced curbside yard waste pickup from April 8-19 and electronic recycling collection dates. In public comment, a resident requested a traffic signal and engineering study at Brodhead Road and Flaugherty Run Road. A resident raised safety concerns about an unmarked crosswalk at the Moon Area School District, where the HOP was removed by PennDOT. The board agreed to add the Environmental Advisory Council’s monthly report to BoardDocs. The board also discussed a proposal from Michael Baker International for a traffic signal study at that intersection, which will be placed on the March 6 agenda for approval.
