Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 47 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on September 25, 2024, with all five members present. During public comment, a resident raised concerns about the lack of senior housing in the township, suggesting the soon-to-close Hyde School as a potential site. the chairman noted the school is owned by the Moon Area School District, not the township, and that while zoning allows senior housing, flat land is needed for one-story construction. The board heard a presentation from the Moon Transportation Authority on economic projections for the Stevenson Mill and Rouser Road connector projects. The MTA has expended $170,000 of its $757,223 final design budget to date. The fire marshal reported the fire company is transitioning to Allegheny County dispatch, with radios reprogrammed and working. He noted 611 fire incidents year-to-date with 1,323 personnel responding. The fire company received a second SAFER grant totaling $230,000 over four years. The MCA-TV Director reported hiring an assistant to the director. The board reviewed August 2024 financial reports and learned $85,000 was authorized to transfer from capital to general funds for IT expenditures. Budget workshop meetings were scheduled for October 7, 16, and 21. The board discussed a proposal from First City Company to demolish PNC Bank at Moon Plaza and construct a 500-square-foot Seven Brew Coffee shop. The planning director noted a land development plan will be required. The board also received updates on conditional use hearings for Howlin Hotel & Spaw and Revival Today Inc., and a minor land development for Industry Coffee. The engineer reported Bronder Technical Services was the apparent low bidder for 2024 traffic signal improvements at $235,005.98. The 2024 roadway program is expected to begin the week of October 7. Two options for Becks Run Road improvements were presented: a $1.5 million resurfacing option and a $1 million seal coat option. The board approved two bond reductions for Village at Marketplace: Phase 2A reduced from $364,474.15 to $201,354.15, and Phase 2B reduced from $651,429.35 to $278,881.85. Bills totaling $62,411.60 were ratified, with a supervisor abstaining due to a conflict of interest. The board previewed the October 2 regular meeting agenda, which includes a Comcast cable franchise ordinance, library sponsorship, and a chamber of commerce advertisement.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on September 25, 2024, with all five members present.
