The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on June 26, 2024, beginning with a move to a larger room to accommodate public comment, though no members of the public spoke. The Environmental Advisory Council presented 2024 initiatives focused on deer management, native plantings, and planting on steep slopes. The fire marshal reported 22 rental inspections, six safety inspections, and 69 reports submitted through a new third-party compliance system, with four deficient properties. The volunteer fire company’s retention and recruitment committee requested $90,000 in annual funding for a stipend program, tax credits, and training, warning that ending the stipend would hurt morale and accelerate the need for a paid department. The board approved appointing a resident to the Environmental Advisory Council to fill an unexpired term. They authorized the purchase of two Ford F-600 chassis with dump beds from Woltz & Wind Ford for $233,016, to be lease-financed over four years, though the chairman noted a prior tractor purchase had gone unused. The board approved a simple subdivision for the Village at Marketplace Phase 2B and a recording extension for the Victoria Ridge Plan of Lots. Bills totaling $32,578.05 were ratified, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict of interest. The planning director reported that a public hearing for Dogtopia is set for July 1, confirmed a $4,000 contribution to the RideACTA shuttle program, and noted interest in a townhouse development on Beaver Grade Road and a drive-thru coffee shop on University Boulevard. The Miracle League requested two water bottle fillers, with the organization covering equipment costs and the township responsible for water and maintenance. The engineer reported bids opened for stormwater improvements on Philomena and Glenmore, a grant application for the Pine Road slide, and ongoing work on the police station, including a change order for $11,647.89. The manager announced a $1,550 donation to UPMC Children’s Hospital and a traffic study for Flaugherty Run and Brodhead roads.
