Union City Council approves resolution to apply for Broadband Ready Community designation
Summary
Union City Borough unanimously approved a resolution authorizing application to the PBDA for Broadband Ready Community designation and appointed the Erie Area Council of Governments as the municipal broadband champion; a prior public meeting had no attendees.
Union City Borough Council voted unanimously July 23 to adopt a resolution authorizing an application to the PBDA for Broadband Ready Community designation and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments to serve as the borough’s municipal broadband champion.
The minutes record a public meeting about broadband held earlier at 5:45 P.M. with no members of the public present. Councilor James Kerns moved to adopt the resolution and Councilor Winkler seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The minutes do not list application details, deadlines, or funding commitments tied to the designation; councilors directed staff to work with Erie Area COG to pursue the application. The designation typically signals local readiness for broadband deployment and can be used to coordinate with regional providers and funders, though the minutes contain no commitment of specific funding.
