Union City posts July 9 agenda including police hire, zoning changes, broadband resolution and RT 97 engineering review

Union City Borough posted its council meeting agenda for July 9, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street. The agenda lists several substantive items that the council is expected to address, including personnel motions and ordinance changes.

The posting includes a motion to hire a full‑time police officer and a separate retroactive motion to appoint a code enforcement officer; the agenda does not specify who will move or second either motion or any vote tallies. The agenda also calls for a presentation of the civil service certified list, which typically provides the ranked candidates that inform hiring under civil service rules.

Council members are set to consider amending the borough zoning ordinance and a separate proposed amendment to the parking ordinance. The agenda lists a discussion item to review an engineering agreement and associated costs for the RT 97 project, indicating the council will review contracting and budget implications for that roadway project. Another item requests additional help for the public works department.

The agenda also includes consideration of a resolution regarding broadband and scheduling a public hearing on that resolution. The posting does not provide the resolution text, funding details, or the planned public hearing date and time beyond the meeting notice.

Administrative and department liaison reports are listed as routine business, followed by adjournment and an executive session to discuss personnel matters “with no action to be taken” as stated in the agenda. Because this transcript is a posted agenda rather than minutes or a verbatim record of the meeting, no votes, motions carried, or statements by named individuals are recorded here.

Actions at a glance: a motion to approve the agenda (listed); a motion to approve minutes (listed); a motion to hire a full‑time police officer (listed; vote not specified); a retroactive motion to appoint a code enforcement officer (listed; vote not specified). The agenda indicates other discussions but does not record decisions, vote tallies, or mover/second information.

The council will meet on July 9, 2024, at the stated location; members of the public interested in the zoning, parking, broadband, RT 97 engineering review, or personnel matters should consult the borough for the published meeting packet and any supporting documents that will provide the specific proposals, cost estimates, and legal text.
