Union City agenda includes broadband public meeting and a resolution to apply for 'Broadband Ready'
Summary
The posted July 23 agenda schedules a 5:45 p.m. public meeting on broadband and lists a motion to adopt a resolution to apply for 'Broadband Ready' and appoint Erie Area COG as the borough's municipal broadband champion; the agenda does not include the resolution text or outcomes.
The Union City Borough Council's posted agenda for July 23, 2024, includes a 5:45 p.m. public meeting focused on broadband and a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the borough to apply for 'Broadband Ready' and to appoint Erie Area COG as its municipal broadband champion.
The agenda lists the public meeting immediately before the council's regular 6:00 p.m. session at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, and places the resolution under miscellaneous updates. The posting does not attach the resolution text, describe application steps, or indicate whether the council will vote at the July 23 session or defer action.
Why it matters: the agenda shows the borough is pursuing a formal step (an authorized application) and a designated intergovernmental partner (Erie Area COG). The posting does not specify what the 'Broadband Ready' designation entails or what funding or procedural benefits it would confer; those details are not provided in the posted agenda.
No speakers, vote tallies, or staff reports related to the resolution are included in the posting. The agenda entry names Erie Area COG but does not indicate whether a representative will appear; the resolution's proposed language, the application timeline, and any budgetary implications are not specified in the posted materials.
The council meeting is scheduled to follow the public broadband meeting; the posted agenda does not record whether the motion to adopt the resolution will be moved, seconded, or decided on July 23.
