Union City agenda includes resolution to seek 'Broadband Ready' designation and appoint Erie Area COG
Summary
The Union City Borough posted agenda for July 23 lists a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing application for 'Broadband Ready' and to appoint Erie Area COG as the municipal broadband champion; the agenda also notes a 5:45 p.m. public meeting on broadband. Vote details are not provided in the posted agenda.
The posted agenda for the July 23 Union City Borough Council meeting includes a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing application for the 'Broadband Ready' designation and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the borough's municipal broadband champion. A public meeting on broadband is scheduled at 5:45 p.m. before the 6:00 p.m. council session.
The agenda item appears on the motions list but does not include the name of a mover or seconder, the text of the proposed resolution, or any vote tally. The posting therefore signals council consideration of the application and a regional partnership with Erie Area COG but does not disclose whether the council approved the resolution at the meeting.
Advocates of 'Broadband Ready' designations typically say such resolutions can streamline permitting and planning for broadband deployment; the posted agenda does not include staff reports, fiscal impact statements, or implementation details. The public-meeting notice at 5:45 p.m., included in the posting, indicates the borough provided an opportunity for public input on broadband ahead of the council's formal agenda.
The agenda lists the item as a motion; any formal adoption, vote count, or conditions attached to an approval are not specified in the posted agenda.
