Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 19 subject tags
The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met March 13 and began with a resident presenting his resume for the vacant council seat; members encouraged him to learn the council’s work before a decision. The council then discussed drafting ordinances to guide native plantings in public spaces and parks. A council member and a Planning Specialist reviewed draft language, and members debated whether to pursue a comprehensive zoning amendment covering multiple initiatives raised by the Board of Supervisors Chair. The council member will continue revising the language, and an employee will incorporate it into the zoning ordinance once agreed. Under items from the Board of Supervisors, an employee relayed the Board of Supervisors Chair’s priorities: deer culling, planting on steep slopes, and light pollution. The employee said she would study these further and again urged the council to take a comprehensive approach to policy changes. Old business included plans for Earth Day on April 21 at Robin Hill Park from 1 to 3 p.m., with tabling organizations, police participation, mascots, and trail clearing. The Planning Specialist reviewed costs to be split between Parks and Recreation and the Green Initiatives line item, and will seek sponsorship from the Montour Run Watershed Association. For the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge, the Planning Specialist will present the pledge at a March 27 board workshop and the Arbor Day proclamation on April 3. The council also set 2024 electronic recycling dates: April 6, June 1, August 3, and October 5. A council member asked that a new recycling dumpster be featured at Earth Day. The Planning Specialist also reviewed PRC recycling events, and an employee noted that Waste Management’s at-your-door service handles many PRC fee items for free. A council member shared an article on the Asian jumping worm. The next meeting is April 10 at 6 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met March 13 and began with a resident presenting his resume for the vacant council seat; members encouraged him to learn the council’s work before a decision.
