Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 37 subject tags
The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on October 16, 2024, to review the 2025 draft budget. After discussion, the board unanimously decided not to transfer $1.2 million from the General Fund to the township’s savings account, instead dedicating those funds to the 2025 Road Paving Program. The board also unanimously agreed to spend $1.5 million on paving next year. The assistant township manager presented staff recommendations for capital expenditures. The board accepted contractual items including $216,009 for nine police vehicle leases, $242,600 for public works vehicle leases, $32,000 for body-worn cameras with a 50% grant match, and $31,000 for fire department portable radios. Recommended non-contractual items included $100,000 for a 10-year Comprehensive Plan update, $45,000 for sidewalks and trails on University Boulevard, $25,000 for demolishing blighted properties, and $24,600 for amphitheatre work. The board did not recommend funding for the K-9 program, mountain bike patrol, or a parks resurfacing project. The board agreed to increase the Valley Ambulance contribution from $3,500 to $27,261 for 2025 and to budget $500 for the Moon Garden Club. The board unanimously agreed to no salary change for the tax collector. The township manager proposed restructuring planning staff, recommending that the planning director become assistant manager while still overseeing planning, and that a planning specialist become planning director, with a potential future need for a new assistant position at a maximum salary of $60,000 plus benefits. The board tabled that decision for the next budget meeting on October 21.The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on October 16, 2024, to review the 2025 draft budget.
