Union City Borough Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2024, at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, to consider a slate of routine motions and several notable action items on its posted agenda.
The meeting opens with procedural votes to approve the agenda, accept the minutes of the Aug. 27 meeting, and approve the secretary's report and paid and unpaid bills. A public comment period listed as —Hearing of the Visitors— is scheduled early in the agenda.
Council members will review departmental reports including the August 2024 Code Enforcement and Zoning reports, and receive updates from the mayor, the police chief, the Street Supervisor and the Borough Manager.
Among the specific items listed for council action are a motion to approve a resolution to exonerate taxes for the property at 121 East High Street and a motion to approve a resolution asking Erie County to complete a new countywide comprehensive housing plan. The agenda does not reproduce the resolution text or any supporting materials.
The council will also consider a motion to set Halloween hours from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 31, 2024, and motions described as —motion to pass— for both a parking ordinance amendment and a zoning ordinance amendment; the agenda does not indicate whether those ordinance motions are first readings, final adoptions or amendments, nor does it include the ordinance language.
The borough plans to address submitting an application to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for a parcel identified as MUN LOT #1; the posted agenda does not specify the proposed project scope or the amount of funding sought.
The agenda concludes with administration and department liaison reports, and it notes an executive session to discuss real estate, personnel and contracts with no action to be taken afterward. The item labeled "TO BE TAKEN" signals that the motions listed will be considered during the meeting; any final votes or outcomes will be recorded in the meeting minutes and the official record.
Meeting attendees who want copies of resolutions or supporting documents should contact the Borough Manager or the borough office; the agenda itself does not include packet materials or vote language.
