Union City Borough posts Sept. 16 meeting agenda to consider tax exoneration, housing plan, CDBG application and ordinance changes
Summary
Union City Borough’s Sept. 16 council agenda schedules motions on a proposed tax exoneration for 121 East High Street, a resolution supporting a countywide comprehensive housing plan, a CDBG application for municipal Lot #1, parking and zoning ordinance amendments, Halloween hours, routine reports and an executive session with no action.
Union City Borough will hold a council meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2024, at the First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, where councilors will consider several administrative resolutions and ordinance amendments listed on the posted agenda.
The agenda’s highest-profile items include a motion to approve a resolution to exonerate taxes for the property at 121 East High Street and a motion asking Erie County to complete a new countywide comprehensive housing plan. The agenda also includes a motion to approve submitting an application to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for municipal Lot #1. The posted agenda does not specify amounts, ordinance language, or the council’s recommended vote on these items.
Why it matters: a tax exoneration can affect borough tax collections and the property owner’s liability; a countywide comprehensive housing plan could shape regional housing priorities and eligibility for state or federal grants; a successful CDBG application could bring federal funds to a municipal property or infrastructure project.
Other items on the agenda include a motion to set Halloween hours from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 31, 2024; a motion to pass a parking ordinance amendment; and a motion to pass a zoning ordinance amendment. The agenda lists review of August 2024 reports for Code Enforcement and Zoning and allows time for reports from the Mayor, the Police Chief, the Street Supervisor and the Borough Manager. The agenda also schedules administration and department liaison reports.
The posted document calls for an executive session to discuss real estate, personnel and contracts and states that no action will be taken during that executive session. The agenda does not include motions’ sponsors, proposed ordinance text, vote tallies or background materials; it is a public notice of items the council will consider on Sept. 16.
Next steps: the items listed on the agenda will be considered at the Sept. 16 meeting; the agenda posting does not record outcomes. Residents seeking more detail — including ordinance language, the full text of the tax-exoneration resolution, or CDBG application materials and amounts — should contact borough hall or attend the meeting.
