Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 50 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the Moon Industrial Development Authority to issue up to $7 million in bonds for Winchester-Thurston School, with no risk to the township. They also authorized a $500,000 grant application to the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County for pollutant reduction plan implementation. The board appointed the township manager as an alternate delegate to the South Hills Area Council of Governments for the remainder of 2025. They approved a $3,300 condensation study for the police building from Tower Engineering, a $375 sponsorship for the PAACC Legislative Breakfast, and a $1,500 donation to the Sister Rene Procopio Golf Memorial Classic benefiting Mooncrest Neighborhood Programs. The board paid invoices across multiple funds totaling over $1.2 million, including $318,399 from the General Fund and $865,358 from the Stormwater Fund. During public comment, a resident detailed ongoing noise and traffic issues with Revival Today Church. The solicitor reported that two citations were issued against the church—one for occupying without an occupancy permit and one for zoning violation—and that the church has appealed both, with hearings scheduled for September. The police chief noted the department lacks a decibel meter to enforce noise ordinances. Several residents spoke in support of the library, questioning a potential shift from an independent board to a township department. Supervisors explained the change is driven by the upcoming expiration of a free lease and that the library board initiated the discussion. Residents also requested pickleball courts and more amenities for active seniors, with supervisors noting budget constraints and the need to avoid tax increases. Residents complained about the lack of notification and disruption from a retention pond project; the township manager acknowledged the contractor’s poor communication and said cleanup and paving are being addressed. Another resident requested increased police staffing given new development; the police chief said the township is budgeted for 34 officers but struggles to fill positions without lowering standards.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the Moon Industrial Development Authority to issue up to $7 million in bonds for Winchester-Thurston School, with no risk to the township.
