Council accepts committee report on Bill 81 to add UGI funds for ADA ramps and paving
Allentown City Council accepted a committee report on Bill 81, a proposed supplemental appropriation to the 2025 capital fund for money from UGI to pay for ADA-compliant ramps and utility paving. The committee report was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting.

Public Works staff explained the agreement with the utility company. "UGI has given us $1,100,000, a little over $1,100,000, as part of the cost cost share agreement. It's getting that $1,100,000 to cover the replacement of 65 88 ramps and cover 5 and a half miles of paving," Public Works staff said. Council accepted the committee's report on that item without a recorded roll-call tally.

The item was presented as a supplemental appropriation to the 2025 capital fund and identified UGI as the funding source. The council member handling the agenda moved to make a report; the motion was seconded by Miss Gerlach and Miss Hough and approved by voice vote. No additional conditions or amendments to the appropriation were recorded in the transcript.

Where the transcript included numeric or formatting irregularities (for example, the appropriation amount was reported as "1,105,000, $491.39" and ramp counts were reported as "65 88 ramps"), the council discussion did not add clarifying figures. The appropriation is described in the meeting record as funded by UGI under a cost‑share agreement and intended to support ADA ramps and utility paving under the utility paving program.
