The Moon Township Board of Supervisors voted to raise taxes for the first time in 14 years, approving a 1.53-mill increase that sets the aggregate tax rate at 4.28 mills for 2026. The chairman said 0.29 mills of the increase will be dedicated to purchasing a new fire apparatus, citing COVID, county assessment changes, and post-COVID inflation as factors. The board unanimously approved Ordinance No. 710, amending the township code to allow the Moon Township Volunteer Fire Department a 100% volunteer service credit with reimbursement up to $500,000, contingent on meeting criteria. An employee was appointed to the Zoning Hearing Board for an unexpired term ending in January 2028, replacing another employee.

A conditional employment and reimbursement agreement for police cadet positions was approved. Change Order No. 2 for the 2024 traffic signal improvements contract was approved for $14,981.40, reflecting final quantities due to PennDOT requests. Resolution R-39-2025 was passed, authorizing a $130,000 Community Development Block Grant request from Allegheny County for demolition of the Skylark Motor Inn.
