Union City agenda includes resolution to seek "Broadband Ready" designation and to appoint Erie Area COG as broadband champion

Union City Borough Council will consider a motion at its July 23, 2024 meeting to adopt a resolution authorizing an application for a "Broadband Ready" designation and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the boroughmunicipal broadband champion. The regular meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street; the agenda notes a public meeting on broadband will take place at 5:45 p.m.

The agenda lists the resolution and the appointment as motions to be considered and voted on during the meeting. The agenda does not include the text of the resolution, a funding source, a sponsor name, or the specific duties the borough would assign to Erie Area COG if the appointment is approved. The public meeting preceding the council session is the only agenda line that explicitly focuses on broadband outreach prior to the formal vote.

Other items on the agenda include routine business and several motions on infrastructure and policy (see separate agenda items). Because the agenda lists the broadband items as motions, any authorization or appointment would occur only if the council votes to approve them during the July 23 meeting. The agenda provides no timetable for implementation or additional materials; interested residents should consult the borough office or the meeting packet for supporting documents.
