The Moon Township Board of Supervisors, at its October 30 workshop meeting, approved a series of expenditures and land-use actions, while receiving detailed departmental reports and previewing the 2025 budget. The board approved a $3,895 purchase of two concrete cornhole sets and an $11,629 hanging shade structure for the splash pad, both paid from Parks Foundation funds. A supervisor voted against the shade structure. The board ratified an $11,561 purchase of nine picnic tables from Kirby Built and approved $5,190 in lobby furniture from Tri-State Office Furniture, funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) account. Two simple subdivisions were approved: the Maracle Plan of Lots and the Village at Marketplace Phase 2B 3rd Amendment. The board authorized a five-year master grant agreement with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission for the Certified Local Government program. A $138,308 IBAK portable camera system for storm sewer inspection and a $13,489 Club Car golf cart were approved, both from ARPA funds. Municipal Code Enforcement, LLC was appointed as a third-party inspection agency. Bills totaling $1,009,942.87 from the general fund and $51,970 from the capital reserve fund were ratified; the vice chairman abstained from the general fund vote due to a conflict of interest.

During public comment, representatives from the Moon Area Soccer Association advocated for a $17,000 fencing project budgeted for Galaxy Field in 2025. The Parks and Recreation Director reported over 500 children at the Spooktacular event and 258,000 park visitors this year. The Public Safety Director, attending his final meeting before retirement, reported the new police station is on track for a December soft opening, and that he saved roughly $104,000 combined on furniture and flooring. The Assistant Township Manager presented the preliminary 2025 budget, which transfers $988,946 to capital projects and $1.5 million to paving, and adds two police officers and one community development staffer. The 2025 budget will be up for public display approval on November 6 and final adoption on December 4. The board also discussed a conditional use application for Revival Today, Inc. and a potential community pharmacy at the former PNC Bank, and authorized the volunteer fire company to proceed with a formal firetruck lease purchase proposal. The meeting adjourned to executive session at 8:31 p.m.
