Union City council approves application for $400,000 bridge grant and payments for 2024 paving
Summary
Union City Council unanimously approved applying for a $400,000 Multimodal Transportation Fund grant to replace the Willow Street bridge and authorized Liquid Fuels and county aid disbursements to pay 2024 paving contractors and related millings distribution.
The Borough of Union City Council voted unanimously June 25 to apply for $400,000 from the Multimodal Transportation Fund to supplement funding for a replacement of the Willow Street bridge and to authorize payments connected to the borough's 2024 paving program.
Councilor Osborn moved and Councilor Kerns seconded the resolution to submit a $400,000 grant application; the motion carried unanimously. The bridge replacement was presented as a priority project requiring additional funds beyond the borough's current budget.
Separately, council approved payment of a Cross Paving invoice totaling $104,740.81, with $92,130.00 to be paid from Liquid Fuels monies and $12,610.81 charged to the General Fund. Councilor Steadman moved the disbursement and Councilor Kerns seconded; the motion carried unanimously. Council also passed a resolution to apply $15,625 in county aid to the Suit-Kote seal-coat payment for the 2024 seal coat project.
Council authorized grinding and sharing millings produced by the paving work with Union Township (which will grind and track usage), retaining one load for Evergreen Cemetery as previously approved, and providing two to three loads to the American Legion ballfield to address driveway issues; the millings motion passed unanimously.
The council record does not list dissenting votes or recorded individual yes/no votes; all motions on these infrastructure and paving items were carried unanimously. No timeline for the grant award was provided during the meeting.
