Union City Borough posts July 9 agenda with zoning, police hire and broadband items
Summary
Union City Borough posted an agenda for its July 9 council meeting listing proposed zoning and parking ordinance amendments, consideration of hiring a full-time police officer and a retroactive appointment of a code enforcement officer, and a broadband resolution with a potential public hearing. No votes or outcomes appear in the posted agenda.
Union City Borough posted the agenda for its July 9, 2024, council meeting at 6 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street. The public posting lists procedural business and several substantive items the council plans to consider, including proposed amendments to the zoning and parking ordinances, personnel actions related to the police department and code enforcement, and a resolution concerning broadband service that may be followed by a public hearing.
The agenda opens with routine items — approval of the agenda and a motion to approve minutes — and a scheduled 'Hearing of the Visitors.' It also lists administrative reports from the Mayor, the Police Chief, the Street Supervisor and the Borough Manager; the posted agenda does not include the text of those reports.
Among the substantive items is a 'DISCUSSION ON AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE,' which signals the council will consider changes to zoning regulations; the posted agenda does not include proposed text, maps, or staff recommendations. A separate item lists 'DISCUSSION ON AMENDING PARKING ORDINANCE,' also without explanatory materials in the posting.
Personnel items are prominent. The posting includes a 'PRESENTATION OF CIVIL SERVICE CERTIFIED LIST' and a 'MOTION TO HIRE FULL-TIME POLICE OFFICER,' which together indicate the council may act to hire from an eligibility list. The agenda also includes a 'RETROACTIVE MOTION TO APPOINT CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER,' suggesting the council may ratify an earlier appointment. The posting supplies no names, mover/second information, or vote results for these motions.
Infrastructure and services are also on the agenda. The council plans a 'DISCUSSION ON ENGINEERING AGREEMENT & COSTS FOR RT 97 PROJECT,' indicating review of an engineering contract and associated cost considerations for work on Route 97, and a 'DISCUSSION ON RESOLUTION FOR BROADBAND AND HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING,' which suggests the council may consider a resolution related to broadband access or policy and whether to schedule a public hearing on that resolution. The posted agenda contains no contract terms, cost figures, or draft resolution language.
The posting closes with administration and liaison reports, adjournment, and a notice of an executive session "to discuss personnel with no action to be taken." Because this document is a posted agenda rather than minutes or a transcript of the meeting, it records planned topics for consideration but does not record motions being made, votes taken, or final outcomes.
The council meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. on July 9, 2024, at First Global Methodist Church. Members of the public wishing to follow specific items (zoning, police hiring, RT 97 costs, broadband) should consult meeting materials or contact borough staff for drafts and supporting documents prior to the session.
