Moon Township Monthly- January

Board of Supervisors Reorganization Meeting Highlights - January 3

The Board of Supervisors held their annual reorganization meeting on Monday, January 3.

First, Allan Bross and David Bachman were sworn in for another term as township supervisors and John Wink was sworn in as the Tax Collector.

Following this, William Mann was sworn in as a new officer for the Moon Township Police Department.

After all the elected officials were sworn in, the board elected John Hertzer as Board Chairman and Jim Vitale as Vice- Chairman.

Several annual business items were defined, including establishing the time and place for the Board of Supervisors monthly regular and workshop meetings, designating the Times as the official newspaper for posting official public notices (the Post-Gazette is the alternate official newspaper for emergency purposes), and appointing official engineering firms and the township solicitor.

Additionally, the board appointed several residents to fill vacancies on the township's numerous volunteer boards and committees. An updated list of committee members will be posted soon on the township website.

Finally, the board appointed Weiss Burkardt Kramer LLC as the delinquent real estate tax collector.

Ask Alexa or Google

Moon Township collaborated with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to bring voice-activated

e-gov to resident's households. This will allow users to download the skill of "Make it Moon" through their Google or Alexa app and then speak to their device to ask about events in Moon or report a problem.

This feature also allows users to find out when events are going on by asking questions such as "When is trick or treat?" or "What do I do with my tree limbs?" Also, it can be used like the e-gov service offered online through the municipality to report problems and ask questions.

Help pave the Memorial Garden walkway by purchasing a brick engraved with a lasting message for an individual, organization, or business. Commemorative bricks are a meaningful way to remember a loved one, honor a friend or family member or recognize a milestone. Brick sponsorships are available for $65 for an engraved 4x8” brick or $200 for an 8x8” business brick.
