[0:21] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one mission, undervalued, and indivisible, with liberty to entrust this car all.

[0:37] Roll call, Mr. Rollinson.

[0:40] Mr. Heardshire, Mr. Kornahan, and I am here.

[0:47] Following the board meeting, board workshop meeting on July 29th, 2026, the board is to revire just how an executive session to discuss the following matters.

[0:58] Real estate discussion, confidential employee personality matters, and litigation.

[1:13] We have no guess, but I see Brian is here, he's not on the agenda, but Brian is here, and it's public comment anyway and you're public, so Brian, we always like to see you come here, so please come forward.

[1:32] Good evening, everybody. My name is Brian Benson. I work for the Parks Department. As you guys mostly know, I also held a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish wheels, wings and wishes last month or actually June in June because I stopped by and let you guys know we were doing it.

[1:51] I'm proud to say that we did very well again this year and a little bit of rain in the morning and a big storm at six o'clock.

[1:58] So we had to push everything up, but again, we got to tie our record in for the second consecutive year.

[2:05] We've raised $40,000 to make a wish, which granted eight wishes.

[2:11] This is the 12th year we've donated a total of over 330,000 to make a wish and we have officially granted 60 wishes on our own.

[2:22] So I just wanted to let everybody know and so you guys can

[2:28] brag about it, whatever you want to do.

[2:30] Well, we certainly appreciate it, and I'll say this every year,

[2:34] it seems like there's more and more cars there.

[2:36] It's not quite what the fire department has coming up,

[2:40] but it's really nice, and sometimes you can't be at both.

[2:44] So I encourage anybody who came to yours also come to the fire

[2:47] and vice versa.

[2:49] So two days of looking at cars and hanging out in the park,

[2:52] you can't be at it.

[2:54] There's worse things you can do in a couple of afternoon.

[2:56] So I just wanted to thank you guys for helping us out and giving us the park and being

[3:02] able to do that.

[3:03] Thank you.

[3:04] To tell you a comment about bragging about things.

[3:07] I don't brag about anything that we do regarding that, but I do brag to anybody that I know

[3:12] that's a car buff about the guy from Public Works, Brian, who runs this Make a Wish car show

[3:19] that benefits Make a Wish and if you like cars, you need to come to Brian's thing.

[3:24] So I brag on you, and I appreciate that.

[3:27] That's probably what you've never done.

[3:29] Thank you.

[3:30] Anything else?

[3:32] We appreciate it, Brian.

[3:34] Thank you.

[3:35] Call for motion to approve the entire table.

[3:37] I'm sorry.

[3:38] Oh, I'm sorry, we didn't finish.

[3:40] Thank you.

[3:41] All right, any more public comment.

[3:47] So if you would please comment, state your name and address.

[3:51] My name is Barb Stewart.

[3:53] My address is 1725.

[3:55] Five has some road, Moon Township VA, 1-5-108.

[4:20] You may remember that my house on has some road was most severely affected by the sewer water project.

[4:31] For the entire duration of the project, we endured heavy equipment taking over our yard and relentless pounding from machinery.

[4:43] We're going to take a look at the

[4:43] That pounding caused real damage to our home.

[4:47] Our foundation cracked to the point where you could see light

[4:50] through the wall.

[4:52] Our weather.

[4:53] It's not called a weather vein, but it's a stick.

[4:58] I think it's a lightening kind of a lightening.

[5:00] Weather ride.

[5:01] Weather ride.

[5:02] Okay, we'll go with that.

[5:06] Our porch and sidewalk pulled away from the house when they hammered a frame, a huge

[5:15] frame, into the ground with a huge digger part.

[5:22] And it was just slam our house, shook after every slam.

[5:27] They even stretched the wires to our house with a piece of wood at one end to get the equipment

[5:33] under because it was a low-lying line yeah like they came from the house to go out

[5:41] okay got it thank you they were tying it together with these ratty little ties I had to ask

[5:48] to have somebody come back and take those off like it was just that like would you want you know

[5:54] I was like oh gosh okay that's not important all right so let's see equipment remained on our private

[6:02] property constantly, well beyond designated easement, I have even had to call on Thanksgiving

[6:12] day just to ask them to remove the massive frame that was in the middle of our yard.

[6:18] All the other things were done but like right there and they did.

[6:22] But, communication and safety were major issues throughout.

[6:29] Township representatives repeatedly showed up unannounced, and I practically had to beg

[6:36] for a meeting with one-on-one meeting with Dawn.

[6:40] Just to express how stressful this order was for our family.

[6:44] I thought she needed to know that.

[6:46] On top of that, a massive hole was left unsecured over the weekend with a safety fence while the surrounding earth was collapsing, making us extremely nervous.

[6:58] I actually watched chunks, and this is as our porch is hanging on, and so on.

[7:06] Cronin attempted to see the yard, but it didn't take.

[7:11] I was ignored when I called to follow up with Cronin and then eventually dawn and forward me that moon township would fix the yard and plant the trees.

[7:22] I was explicitly asked to choose three non-invasive trees and I requested three Sassafras trees.

[7:31] When the township crew finally came out, here's what actually happened.

[7:36] They did seed it, they did put hay over it, but ignored the underlying soil.

[7:45] This has been the problem throughout.

[7:47] Cronin also tried to seed it.

[7:51] It just didn't work hard.

[7:53] It's the clay after all the digging and all the pressure from that equipment.

[7:58] It's rock hard, so the yard is splotchy.

[8:05] They ignored adding soil, they left our yard full of heavy clay, huge chunks, and even bumps.

[8:18] Now this didn't, this was there, they didn't cause this.

[8:23] But each, but Cronin did his thing and didn't fix it.

[8:27] and now we have moon township trying to fix it and it's not fixed.

[8:37] They installed two

[8:39] landscape islands I did not ask for but I was excited at the time. They filled these beds

[8:46] with moon township dirt and mulch and it's now overgrown with weeds. Like one particular

[8:54] weed is coming up all over the place.

[8:59] And also I they ignored my request for

[9:03] three Sassafas trees. It did take me a long time to respond. I'm sorry Don. But

[9:11] they were you request see me they just never got delivered or well they did yeah

[9:15] it didn't happen and yeah and it was supposed to be you know native to this area

[9:21] and non-invasive. Okay, that's important. Instead, they planted a dog, wood, and a red blood,

[9:30] but I think those are okay. And one of those trees actually is dying. A neighbor who's

[9:38] very knowledgeable about plants, and you probably know her,

[9:44] she was walking past our yard and asked

[9:46] questions about the trees. And she said, I think those trees are invasive. Well, she knew

[9:52] exactly what they were, which I can't remember at the time. She said they are invasive.

[9:57] And I bet they were planted with the burlap and wrote tied around them. I think she may

[10:04] have mentioned this to somebody in this area. So I was like, okay, that's interesting.

[10:11] So I went out and dug around the one tree that we didn't ask for, and sure enough, there was a rope all around, and then down below that was the burlap.

[10:24] And then I went to the other tree, and it was the same thing. I actually took pictures and I was going to have some, but I didn't make it with that.

[10:32] So I did it, check the other trees, but that very well, maybe they don't use spur lap with smaller trees, I'm not sure.

[10:43] So, obviously they would eventually choke and die.

[10:48] All my family once, after enduring months of chaos, stress, physical damage to our property is for

[10:56] the township to do the right thing.

[11:00] We want the yard that is actually nice, safe, and looks good.

[11:07] We're asking for soil to be properly prepared,

[11:13] leveled, recede our yard, that is flat and safe to walk up.

[11:20] The dying incorrectly planted trees and unauthorized beds to be removed.

[11:30] And the three sass fast, fresh trees we originally requested to be properly planted.

[11:39] We have been patient through a very stressful process and we just want our home restored properly.

[11:48] And I have just a few more comments on this,

[11:55] this really was a hard time.

[11:58] I thought about moving the pounding in the house and we have a son that works from home, my husband works from home and I'm at home.

[12:08] And it rattled the house, then we, I think my husband checked the basement and there's

[12:16] a crack in it with light pouring through that you can see.

[12:19] The big books of the basement.

[12:25] It was so frustrating, I kept talking to cronin people and one man or maybe he was a manager

[12:33] or something, he would say, like, don't worry, we're going to take care of it, we're going

[12:37] to give you everything you want. It's going to look so nice. And I was like, are you sure?

[12:43] So towards the beginning of the summer, I was like, aren't they, they should be coming

[12:48] out? Or it actually in the spring. And I tried to make calls, never return to calls to who?

[12:55] Cronin. Cronin. Okay. Cronin. And they were never, I never knew anything about it. And then

[13:03] And at some point Dawn and I connected and she said maybe you came over and she said

[13:10] that the townships taking care of it and Cronin is going to pay for it.

[13:17] So I think that's a sad representation of taking care of it.

[13:25] The stress, depression, thinking about selling the house, breaking our foundation, watching

[13:32] Seeing our porch pull away from our house, watching the sidewalk pull away, I felt like

[13:38] I was on alert at all times.

[13:40] I was constantly looking out the window when they were there a little bit, and when they

[13:47] weren't there because there was this massive hole, it was very, very deep, not the deep

[13:53] that they said it was going to be, it was deeper.

[13:59] Yeah, and just having the vehicles all over the yard, all the time, I took, I did take a lot of pictures of that and the cracks.

[14:09] Yeah, I guess that's enough, just, it's important to me. I'm hoping.

[14:22] I'm glad that Don was there and the township wants to do right and I passed that a lot during it and I understand I'm going to watch your porch fall off and then they repaired it once and that repair cracks and they have to take it off again.

[14:42] Yeah, just to put it into context, so what this is, this was a flood control project trying to help you and your neighbors not be flooded.

[14:55] So we weren't trying to torture you.

[14:57] We never had a-

[15:00] Bad issue with flooding. It was just coming down the middle of this yard, coming down the, when it was really hard coming down the driveway, but it never affected or flooded whatsoever. It may not have flooded you, but it flooded a lot of other people. I just want to get done on records. That's what we were doing in your yard. I realized that. So you mentioned a few things. The landscaping. I know we stepped in there and did that if we didn't do it right or there was communication.

[15:30] I'm sure Don, you'll make sure we get that right.

[15:34] But what about the foundation crack?

[15:38] They, Cronin sent in Matthew's wall anchor services, and

[15:43] they paid for the whole thing, that was-

[15:44] Okay, so that was-

[15:46] That's part.

[15:47] Okay, you didn't mention that.

[15:48] I'm sorry.

[15:49] That would have been my biggest concern, did we crack your foundation?

[15:53] Yes.

[15:54] Because, all right, so-

[15:55] And it was-

[15:55] It was very-

[15:56] It was very-

[15:57] And we were very happy about that.

[15:59] Okay, so I mean nobody's going to go back and make it a nice quiet summer that you had last year because that didn't happen.

[16:09] Well, that was a month, that was a year.

[16:12] But other than landscaping, what do you like, what are you seeking from us?

[16:18] What do you think would be the proper thing for us to do?

[16:22] I guess find out somebody or get somebody else that actually knows how to seat a yard and add the soil.

[16:32] I don't know what can be done with the soil, but it is so hard.

[16:37] It's when it rains, it's just, it stays there.

[16:41] One time when I was watering one of the landscapes, the islands,

[16:49] I would port like water was going really heavy on it.

[16:53] I came back to get the sprinkler and there was puddles all around.

[17:01] It didn't go into the ground.

[17:03] Yeah, they didn't, I don't recall because again, I watched it.

[17:08] They didn't actually take your yard up, did they?

[17:12] What does that mean?

[17:14] They didn't actually dig it up and bring dirt back.

[17:17] They had something little and they just and it was you know something like they were trying to aerate it and they just went all over everything.

[17:26] But I think the proper thing would do it needs to be aerated you know it's packed.

[17:35] So the vehicles and the construction would have done that but okay.

[17:40] I just think it needs a professional company, that's, I understand, I just think that it's not going to get done right unless that happens.

[17:50] We have some very good people, if we didn't do it well enough, you know, I know we're going to, we'll talk about this and we'll figure out, but we want to make it right for you, because I know you put up with a lot, there's no question about that.

[18:04] But our engineers spent a lot of time looking at your house.

[18:08] It was deep, you know, we had to put a new sewer line under the existing.

[18:16] We put a new sewer under the sanitary.

[18:19] So it was a tricky project, a difficult one.

[18:22] And then I know some things didn't go well and we dug it up again, just to make that insult injury, so to speak.

[18:30] Can I ask for clarification on one thing?

[18:34] So where they did the planting of the trees and the beds that they put in.

[18:40] Now you're telling me that you want those removed?

[18:45] Well, we were there and talked to you.

[18:48] Yeah, and I was really excited.

[18:50] I mean, I didn't, you know, you didn't say we're going to use moon dirt and moon mulch, which

[18:56] is everybody puts their stuff into it.

[18:58] So, something caused these unusual weeds to grow.

[19:06] So, I'm thinking, yeah, it needs to be re-done.

[19:09] Plus, that soil's so hard.

[19:11] Plus, those trees need to...

[19:12] Okay, so let's stick with the flower beds.

[19:15] Okay, the islands.

[19:16] We walked through with you, because Scott was there also,

[19:19] with two of the public works, guys, the day that we were there.

[19:22] Okay.

[19:23] We walked through where they were going to put them

[19:25] and you approved all that.

[19:26] Yeah, okay, so I really don't know if it makes a difference if we use moon, soil, and mulch or whatever it is, or go to a landscaping place and buy the same thing.

[19:39] It still needs care and maintenance after it's done and put in.

[19:43] We're not coming back to do that care and maintenance.

[19:46] So my question is you stood here and you said now you want this I'll take in the way.

[19:51] Well, so if we take it away, where are we putting the trees?

[19:57] Just different places in the yard.

[19:59] I will figure that out with a professional.

[20:03] I mean, I just...

[20:04] So there's not going to be a professional.

[20:05] It's going to be our guys from public works that came and did it will be recent out to do it again.

[20:12] So that, the archives can do the job, right?

[20:17] They are hurtful.

[20:18] Well, why would they leave burlap on trees and plant them?

[20:21] What?

[20:22] I will talk with them to find out.

[20:24] That's not wrong with that.

[20:26] It needs to be loosened and pulled away, but a tree that big, and I've sung.

[20:31] There's a large tree.

[20:33] And I've been around planning all my life.

[20:36] You typically cannot remove the burlap.

[20:39] You just tie it and loosen it.

[20:40] The reason is burlap is because burlap decomposes.

[20:45] So I had a neighbor stop by and she and I had a neighbor, Judy, me, Hawk, you guys know her.

[20:55] And she said, can I talk to you about your trees?

[20:59] And she said, you know, what are these trees I did know before.

[21:04] And she said, these trees are invasive.

[21:08] So actually, I looked at up red buds because I have one of my own.

[21:12] No, I said the red bud was not and the dog was not, she said that, and she said, and I bet there's burlap down there.

[21:23] So I trust Judy, she seems like she's been doing this a long time.

[21:27] I don't, you know, and with the ropes still being on that kind of like, how's that going to release, you know, maybe if they took it off and they put it in with the burlap underneath, I don't know.

[21:47] I'm going to disagree with Judy.

[21:49] You don't, you physically can't remove a burlap.

[21:51] You would beat up the ball, so bad you'd do more damage to the, you know, let's just say this.

[21:59] We hear you, if we didn't get it right the first time, the second time, the third time,

[22:04] we're going to make it right with you, okay?

[22:07] And we have good people.

[22:09] They do excellent work.

[22:10] If there's some miscommunication, if they didn't understand, we'll make sure that

[22:15] do we get it right? The law probably needs aerated is going to need some time to loosen

[22:22] up and just begin to breathe again. Perhaps we can talk about what's the mushroom and

[22:26] north on the top. That really helps that process aerated again. I'm not sure what machines

[22:32] you're talking about, but it's like it was an aerator.

[22:34] So everything was done a couple of times like that. Kevin, I don't know what we ended up

[22:40] the third time. But once it's done, everything cared for by understanding this. Every other yard that was in that

[22:51] area that was done has grown back in. And I understand hers was washed away a few times, but they

[22:59] came back and did it again. So we have, and again, I'm not sure if Cronin or us, I think I have the

[23:07] photos of Cronin gave us that showed us that they had finished it. Cronin's looked good

[23:13] initially. Cronin did multiple times come back and cleaned up multiple times. They had

[23:18] it because they they would do the like especially the slope they do the slope we'd watch then

[23:25] we knew it was going to rain the next day because and it did and then they came back the

[23:29] next day did it again and it rained again and then they came back one more time put it on

[23:34] rain again. So there's wonderful grass at the bottom of the slope where there's

[23:40] good water. They rock counted the front yards, receded them, put fabric down,

[23:47] we took the fabric out because we had complaints about the fabric. The fabric

[23:51] helps keep the keeps of wet. The main item is yards need maintain. The people that

[23:58] immediately moated, grass-terminated, weeds went away.

[24:03] Well, I can just say we didn't know how to do that.

[24:09] And again, I was there a lot.

[24:11] You were talking about the yards that we dug up,

[24:14] filled back in, re-tops or and seeded.

[24:18] Grounds loose.

[24:19] Her front yard was a parking lot.

[24:22] Yeah, it was.

[24:22] And so I think what we did elsewhere.

[24:26] But where, like I never saw that topsoil, I could never see that.

[24:31] And then when Cronin did it, there was, there was like people trying to get the rocks

[24:36] out of it, and they were raking you out of the side, and then they left it there.

[24:41] This was a group, you know, that Cronin used, it was, and I was just thinking there's rocks

[24:47] everywhere.

[24:47] So it's, I don't remember a lot of, like I didn't see the mulch, you know, just, yes,

[25:02] and I agree.

[25:02] We are not great at maintaining our yard, and it bothers me, but I have people in my

[25:12] home who won't do it, and I have issues that I can't do it.

[25:16] Well, the yard will come in, but our people are going to do it, and if we need to change the trees we will, to be non-invasive.

[25:26] But you select them, you said you told us that's the first?

[25:29] Yeah, okay.

[25:30] And I think there was a conversation about Sassafras.

[25:33] I stepped away at that point, Scott, you were there.

[25:36] Do you remember, was there an issue with Sassfras?

[25:40] I believe there was.

[25:42] Do you remember that part of the conversation?

[25:45] I don't remember what was discussed about the Sassafras.

[25:49] I remember John explaining exactly what trees he had planned to plant there.

[25:54] And there was a maple, he said the red bud, and we all agreed on that.

[26:00] Two types of maple.

[26:01] Two types of maple.

[26:02] How many trees did we only do three there?

[26:05] Did we do five?

[26:06] He did four and plus lilacs.

[26:10] And he just said, I'm going to make a little nice.

[26:14] I didn't ask for any of that.

[26:17] And the thing is, I forgot that our lilac bush that

[26:22] was down at the bottom of the corner of the house.

[26:27] I just didn't remember that that was actually destroyed.

[26:31] And it was once that year plus.

[26:34] I know Don had told our people, make her happy.

[26:36] make so all right this is the time like there's so many times I thought I should

[26:44] come here but we probably we probably aren't gonna do this doing August this is

[26:48] like the worst time to try to plant but our people will be back okay and if

[26:55] they want to do the islands and I I guess we should keep that as you were saying

[27:00] I mean, the trees need a place to go,

[27:03] and I can pick a different tree.

[27:06] I'll look through it.

[27:06] So they're non-invasive trees, so the question of them

[27:11] being invasive or not has been answered.

[27:13] So they're non-invasive.

[27:15] Well, the trees?

[27:17] The trees I don't know.

[27:19] That's not, according to Judy, Judy knows

[27:23] what she's talking about.

[27:25] So we've been, she's mistaken in this case, she is.

[27:28] Do you think she's in these are non invasive trees? Yes

[27:33] Dogwood dogwood and red blood. No, there's two other trees

[27:37] I don't know what other ones. I thought they just put dogwood. There's two there's two kinds of

[27:41] One red. There's two of these trees that are a dead of the two big ones are the maples

[27:48] I don't know what they are, but some maples are invasive and some are

[27:51] She knew like you know, she said

[27:58] She may be correct on the maples and I retract my statement.

[28:02] I mean, she knew she said, this is a lie and you know,

[28:05] she had the full name, full name.

[28:08] And I, she said she, I should have brought her with me.

[28:11] She did say that I, if she wanted, if I wanted her, I would.

[28:17] Okay.

[28:20] But they're not the Sassafras, you want it.

[28:22] Yeah, they're not the Sassafras.

[28:24] Yeah, but I mean, what's the problem with Sassafras?

[28:27] Did somebody tell you said so you talked that through with John that day?

[28:31] That's all that I know because you said sassy for us and he said yeah, here's the issue with sassy

[28:38] Yeah, I'm not sure what that was. Yes, at that point

[28:40] I walked away. We can revisit that with him

[28:43] I mean if he thought they were messy, they wouldn't survive. I'm not sure

[28:47] Okay, but he did say yeah, that's something about sassy. Yeah, yeah

[28:53] And I can

[28:54] And that would be, I mean, I know you've kind of driven at home that how many trees were

[29:03] removed, just how many trees you're going to get.

[29:06] So I understand that because that was told to me a lot.

[29:11] So I think we said three, and then I forgot about the bush, but they were giving me way more.

[29:18] I had four trees and liveax and that was very nice because I could have drawn about the

[29:27] liveax tree and he just, you know, black and white.

[29:30] Okay.

[29:30] Well, whatever we do, we'll do in the fall, it's easier to see there's more in the rain,

[29:36] but you'll have to keep it in the rain, you'll have to keep it wet.

[29:42] Yeah, we'll do a better time.

[29:43] I mean, we have to, I'm not happy.

[29:47] And a lot of people come before this for on a lot of different issues involving grass and I spent my entire career working with issues involving grass for whatever reason.

[30:00] And it can be many. The second year, almost all these problems disappear. It just takes a while. And so let's get it right. You maintain it, let nature work. And I bet you, you know, next spring in the next fall, it's going to look a lot better. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you. But thank you.

[38:33] Call for a motion to approve the nigh or table, change order number one for

[38:46] Dream of emotion.

[38:49] Mr. Rollins in second?

[38:50] Second.

[38:52] Mr. Carnahan, Ms. Lane, I understand we already have a bid for less than that.

[38:57] We do, yes.

[38:58] So any other questions, Kevin, do you want, this is significant amount?

[39:06] Tell us what it's for and why.

[39:09] Yes, to the left, if you're at the bottom of the hill, looking up the new stairs, there's

[39:15] an area that was outside of the work area that had two outfall pipes and an existing

[39:21] sanitary sore about six weeks ago whenever the rain events started.

[39:27] Those two storm sores opened up, cleaned theirself out, they eroded a hillside from the top

[39:33] down and expose the sanitary sword and there's pieces of it now hanging. So this

[39:39] project will reestablish the slope which is township right away today and then

[39:44] the sanitary authority is going to provide Dr. Warren pipe and this contractor

[39:49] who's working on the steps will put stone under the pipe number four's choke

[39:55] with two A put the new Dr. Warren pipe that will be restrained joint one anchor in

[40:00] in the middle, so the pipe will be manhole to an anchor,

[40:04] from the anchor down to the blow or manhole,

[40:07] and then everything I would cover was stone,

[40:09] so that when water comes out from the storm,

[40:12] so we're up above, it'll get down to the stream

[40:14] without washing it out, but the sword will not be dependent

[40:17] on the hillside to hold it there.

[40:19] That way we don't have a problem in the future with it.

[40:21] So it is expensive because it does not have access

[40:25] other than from the bottom, so we have to do this work

[40:28] before the bridge gets put in in the steps, because they have a temporary bridge across

[40:34] small equipment, and then they have to take it up with a small excavator in place that

[40:39] coming down the hill. So there's fair amount of hours to get it done prior to the steps being finished.

[40:46] Any other questions?

[40:50] So we have a first and a second. Claw for a voice vote. Those in favor say aye.

[40:55] Aye.

[40:56] There's against motion carries.

[40:59] Call for motion to approve to deny your table.

[41:02] The concurring resolution are dash 21, dash 2026, authorizing the filing of an application for funds with redevelopment authority of Allegheny County for township wide park improvements and rehabilitation in the mind of $500,000.

[41:19] We have a motion.

[41:21] Mr. Karnihan, second, Mr. Rulansen, I'm going to explain this briefly.

[41:27] So the GEDTF funds, the RAC funds, the application needs to be in, I believe, August 14th?

[41:35] Yes.

[41:36] And so the $500,000 we put in for the townshipway park improvements.

[41:41] We have three small parks, two of which are at Moon Park, and then we have another one

[41:48] down at 308 hemlock that need replace those parks are 20 plus years old so it's very expensive

[41:56] to get parts for them and they're just they're starting to fall apart so those are for those

[42:03] and then hopefully whatever money we have left over if we would receive the $500,000 grant we have

[42:10] of updates to the amphitheater that need to be done also.

[42:14] So that's what the application is for.

[42:19] I want to commend staff.

[42:21] Staff does an excellent job of applying for grants.

[42:24] There's a lot of work to get done in the internship.

[42:25] Isn't our money?

[42:27] It's grants that we receive.

[42:29] So we have a first and a second.

[42:30] Any other discussion?

[42:32] Call for a voice vote.

[42:34] Those in favor say aye.

[42:35] Aye.

[42:36] Those against?

[42:37] Motion carries.

[42:38] Managers report.

[42:40] Thank you.

[43:44] who volunteer their time to serve.

[44:04] Overlay Advisory Committee, and the Moon Parks Foundation.

[47:20] Those against.

[47:21] Motion carries.

[47:23] Remark some supervisors.

[47:25] Mr. Rollinson.

[47:26] Just wanted to have everybody think that this is the last couple of weeks before school starts

[47:31] So just to be safe out on the roads, you kind of get that in your mind that that's coming and then enjoy the rest of the

[47:38] Good weather we have in the summer and get outside

[47:42] Thank you miss wise. Well, I'm gonna echo

[47:46] Supervisor Vaughnson's remarks a little bit and just want to wish everybody a safe school year

[47:52] Thank you

[47:53] Mrs. Coyneham. I want to say thank you to our police and fire for getting us through most of the summer safely and hopefully

[48:01] all the way to the end. I can't say enough about how well we're running there in those divisions.

[48:08] Thank you.

[48:10] Mr. Herzler.

[48:12] I got a couple of things. First, I wanted to mention that the concert with Kevin

[48:15] Selecki, he's actually a pretty amazing accordionist. So if any of you want to go in here, the poke

[48:24] us that you listen to in your grandparents kitchen or something when you're a kid, Kevin will

[48:28] give you that.

[48:30] The deer hunt, just want to kind of throw some details into that, first and foremost, I don't

[48:38] hunt deer.

[48:39] I don't like to taste the venison, there's plenty of meat and giant eagle as far as I'm

[48:43] concerned.

[48:44] But we have to do something with the deer population.

[48:47] I would much rather see a deer hunter take it cleanly than see the animal get hit by

[48:53] a car and either, you know, suffer on the side of the road or we had one in our backyard

[48:57] that had a black broken leg for months and it's it's sad so I am very much in favor of the deer hunt

[49:05] but I want to make sure everybody understands that it's not people out there with high-powered

[49:09] rifles shooting at surface level this is an archery hunt archery hunts are generally conducted

[49:15] early in the morning very early or as it as the sun is going down and you're in a tree stand

[49:22] then you're shooting down.

[49:23] So there's not a lot of danger of arrows flying around where people are.

[49:29] So they're at Moon Park and we're not doing, Olsen, maybe tough this year because of the

[49:39] construction down there.

[49:41] So if we're, I know in Moon Park, we walk our dogs in Moon Park during the time of the

[49:47] There are places where people that want to walk their trails, we have high visibility vest that you can grab and take and put on so that you're, you know, you're safe because if you're not a hunter, you don't have a high visibility vest or I guess perhaps maybe a member of the public works department.

[50:05] So, you know, I think the deer hunts a good thing if we can thin the herd humanely a little bit, that's much better than getting hit by cars or starving.

[50:16] And then lastly, I want to apologize to Mrs. Mihaq.

[50:20] I didn't hear the mention of the maple trees.

[50:23] So that's probably one of the maple trees.

[50:25] It must be what's the invasive one.

[50:28] So I apologize, Judy.

[50:31] All right, thank you, John.

[50:34] Two things I wanted to say is we had one car show that we talked about that was done in June.

[50:41] And the fireman's car show is what the last Sunday August August, which is coming up, so this is an amazing community event, and this is a time when most people get a chance that they don't normally get to help pay for fire protection that we all have in Muntanship.

[51:03] We have an amazing fire department, it's volunteer, and anything that you can do for them, if you come out, you can contribute, put money in the boot, or whatever is the 31st?

[51:14] I'm looking right now.

[51:15] So, I really encourage-

[51:17] It's the 30th.

[51:18] It's the 30th.

[51:19] Sunday the 30th.

[51:21] Amazing car show is one of the top car shows in Pittsburgh.

[51:25] I'm told by people who really know their cars.

[51:27] great community time, food trucks, all kinds of opportunity to meet people that you haven't seen and discuss cars.

[51:35] And lastly, I just want to say that the road program is beginning, but we've already done the crack ceiling.

[51:42] Crack ceiling is the first preventative maintenance that we do to prevent roads from getting worse.

[51:49] And it's one of the things that we're adamant about and we needed to see done.

[51:55] And this is why we wrestled with it last year, but we were forced to raise taxes.

[52:01] And it wasn't just frivolous, it was to do things like this, road department.

[52:06] This would be the most mining we've ever spent on the roads.

[52:09] And we probably will need to begin to spend more.

[52:14] Otherwise, the roads begin to deteriorate and they cost a lot more to rebuild later than just to take care of now.

[52:20] And with that, I'd like to call for a motion to adjourn.

[52:25] Mr. Hertz your second.

[52:27] Mrs. Carnahan meeting adjourned.

Supervisors August 2026
