Agenda lists motion to hire full-time police officer and retroactive code enforcement appointment

Union City Borough’s posted agenda for its July 9, 2024 council meeting includes a motion to hire a full-time police officer and a presentation of the Civil Service certified list that typically supplies eligible candidates for such hires. The agenda does not include names from the certified list or any motion wording beyond the item title.

Also on the agenda is a retroactive motion to appoint a code enforcement officer. The agenda text does not specify who would be appointed, the effective date of the retroactive appointment, or the reasons the council would consider retroactive action. No mover, seconder, vote tallies or final outcomes are recorded in the posted agenda.

The agenda identifies the Police Chief and Borough Manager as the officials responsible for reports and recommendations; it lists these personnel items among administrative and public-safety business to be handled at the meeting. Because the posted agenda is a schedule of items rather than minutes, any hire or appointment will be confirmed or declined at the meeting itself and is not recorded here.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. July 9 at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, Union City. The agenda also notes an executive session on personnel later in the meeting with an explicit statement that no action will be taken in that executive session.
