The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on October 16, 2024, with six members present alongside a planning specialist and one resident. The council approved the minutes from the September 11 meeting by a unanimous vote. On new business, the council rescheduled the Boggs School Cleanup originally set for October 19 to Saturday, November 9, due to scheduling conflicts. For the 2025 Recycling Day, the council reviewed and directed corrections to the flyer created by the Community Development Intern, with the planning specialist to finalize it for inclusion in January 2025 billing mailings. The council also approved a $1 increase in the fee charged to residents for recycling passenger tires, raising it from $2 to $3, after discussion about annual five percent price hikes from Liberty Tire. The motion carried unanimously. In old business, the planning specialist reviewed a mockup and quote from Pulse Designs for meadow signage at Robin Hill Park and said she would obtain a second quote and provide a 2024 financial review at the next meeting. During general discussion, a council member expressed dissatisfaction with plantings at the new Chick-fil-A and the developer review process for native plantings. The council member requested that the township consider raising the native planting threshold in parks and open space from the previously discussed 50% to 70%, matching the National Wildlife Federation standard. The council member also noted that the Public Works Department was planting invasive species in township parks. The council discussed township processes and native planting thresholds, along with a potential meeting with the Planning Commission to clarify the EAC's role. No public comment was offered. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at 6 p.m.The Moon Township Environmental Advisory Council met on October 16, 2024, with six members present alongside a planning specialist and one resident.
