Agenda lists motion to apply for ‘Broadband Ready’ designation and name Erie Area COG as champion
Summary
The Union City Borough Council agenda for its July 23 meeting includes a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing application for the state ‘Broadband Ready’ designation and to appoint Erie Area COG as the borough’s municipal broadband champion; the agenda does not record a vote outcome.
The Union City Borough Council agenda for July 23, 2024, includes a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the borough to apply for a ‘Broadband Ready’ designation and to appoint Erie Area COG as the municipal broadband champion.
The item appears on the agenda as a formal motion but the posted agenda does not record any vote or outcome. The agenda also notes a public meeting on broadband at 5:45 p.m. before the 6:00 p.m. council meeting at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street.
The motion would direct borough officials to pursue the state or program designation and to designate Erie Area COG — a regional planning organization referenced on the agenda — to act as the borough’s champion for the application. The agenda text does not specify funding commitments, applications deadlines, or required follow-up actions.
Because the document provided is a posted agenda rather than minutes, it does not show whether the council discussed or approved the resolution, who moved or seconded the motion, or any conditions attached to the proposed appointment of Erie Area COG. Any procedural or contractual obligations that might follow an approved resolution are not described in the agenda.
Next steps noted in the agenda: the borough will hold a public broadband meeting at 5:45 p.m. prior to the council session; the council is scheduled to consider the listed motion during the regular meeting.
