Union City Borough Council on July 23 voted unanimously to authorize an application for designation as a "Broadband Ready Community" and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments to serve as the borough's municipal broadband champion.
The action followed a 5:45 p.m. public meeting on the topic at which no members of the public attended. Councilor James Kerns moved to adopt the resolution and Councilor Melissa Winkler seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Borough minutes record that the resolution authorizes submission of an application to the PBDA and designates Erie Area COG to act as the municipal champion. The minutes do not specify a timeline for the application or further steps, nor do they expand the acronym "PBDA." The borough manager will proceed with the administrative steps authorized by the motion.
The council made the decision as part of routine business during its July 23 meeting at First Global Methodist Church. No public comment was recorded on the broadband item.
