Union City posts Sept. 16 agenda with tax-exoneration resolution, county housing plan request and ordinance amendments

Union City Borough posted an agenda for its Sept. 16, 2024 council meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street. The posted agenda lists procedural items (approval of the agenda, approval of minutes from Aug. 27, 2024, the secretary’s report and approval of paid and unpaid bills) and several substantive motions to be considered.

The agenda includes a motion to approve a resolution to exonerate taxes for the property at 121 East High Street. The posted text does not specify the reason for the exoneration or the expected vote outcome. It also lists a motion to approve a resolution asking Erie County to complete a new countywide comprehensive housing plan, indicating the borough intends to request county-level planning assistance on housing.

Other agenda items include a motion to set Halloween hours from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 31, 2024; motions to pass amendments to the borough’s parking and zoning ordinances; and a motion to approve submitting an application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for Mun Lot #1. The posted agenda names these motions but does not include background detail, funding amounts or staff reports in the text provided.

The agenda also schedules the standard departmental reports and public input: a hearing of visitors and August 2024 reports for Code Enforcement and Zoning, plus reports or recommendations from the Mayor, the Police Chief, the Street Supervisor and the Borough Manager. Administration and department liaison reports are listed later in the agenda.

The posted notice closes by listing an executive session "to discuss real estate, personnel & contracts" and explicitly states "with no action to be taken" during that session. The agenda does not record any vote tallies or results; it is a notice of items to be considered when the council meets.
