Union City Borough posts Sept. 16 agenda including tax-exoneration resolution, ordinance amendments and a CDBG application
Summary
The Union City Borough Council agenda for Sept. 16, 2024 schedules routine business and motions including a proposed tax exoneration for 121 East High Street, a resolution supporting Erie County’s countywide housing plan, parking and zoning ordinance amendments, and a CDBG application for Municipal Lot #1.
Union City Borough posted its Sept. 16, 2024 council meeting agenda saying the session will begin at 6:30 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street.
The agenda lists routine procedural items — approval of the agenda, approval of minutes from the Aug. 27, 2024 meeting, the secretary’s report and approval of paid and unpaid bills — followed by a public "Hearing of the Visitors" and department reports from Code Enforcement, Zoning, the Mayor, the Police Chief, the Street Supervisor and the Borough Manager.
Most of the potentially consequential items appear under "Miscellaneous Updates." The agenda includes a motion to approve a resolution for tax exoneration for 121 East High Street; the posted text does not state the reason for the exoneration or the expected fiscal impact. The agenda also lists a motion to approve a resolution authorizing Erie County to complete a new countywide comprehensive housing plan, indicating the borough will consider supporting or participating in the county-led planning process.
The council is scheduled to consider local ordinances: a motion to pass a parking ordinance amendment and a motion to pass a zoning ordinance amendment. The posted agenda does not include the amendment language or indicate whether these ordinances will be introduced for first reading or considered for final passage.
Also on the agenda is a motion to approve submitting an application to CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) for "MUN LOT #1" (Municipal Lot No. 1), signaling the borough’s intent to seek grant funding for work tied to that lot; the agenda contains no application details or dollar amounts.
The agenda includes a motion to set Halloween hours on Oct. 31, 2024 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and schedules administration items, department liaison reports and adjournment. It also notes an executive session to discuss real estate, personnel and contracts with "no action to be taken." The posted agenda records items for consideration but does not document any votes, motions carried, or staffing presentations.
The borough notice does not specify when or if the public will have an opportunity to review ordinance text or supporting materials prior to the meeting. The posted agenda functions as a preview of items the council may act on at the Sept. 16 meeting.
