Agenda calls for broadband-ready resolution and names Erie Area COG as municipal broadband champion
Summary
Union City Borough's posted agenda for July 23, 2024, includes a motion to adopt a resolution to apply for the state 'Broadband Ready' designation and to appoint Erie Area COG as the borough's municipal broadband champion; the posted agenda does not record an outcome or application details.
The Union City Borough Council’s posted agenda includes a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing an application for the state’s 'Broadband Ready' designation and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the borough’s municipal broadband champion.
The agenda lists the item without the text of the resolution, an identified applicant, or details about next steps or funding. The appointment of Erie Area COG would designate a regional partner to support the borough’s application or coordination, but the posted agenda does not specify the scope of the champion role or any contractual responsibilities.
The item appears under miscellaneous updates; the agenda does not show prior council votes or supporting study materials in the posted text. Residents concerned about broadband expansion or municipal coordination are likely to watch the meeting for any staff presentations or attachments that clarify costs, technical requirements, or timelines.
Because the posted agenda records this as a motion to adopt and appoint, reporters and residents should check the meeting packet or later minutes for the adopted resolution text, any conditions applied by council, and whether the borough submits an application to the state.
