The Borough of Union City held a brief public hearing Sept. 16, 2024, to present and accept comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118. Councilor Cross called the hearing to order at 6:05 P.M. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, Union City, Pa.
The stated purpose of the hearing was to provide information and receive public comment on three changes to Ordinance #1118: defining and regulating permitted-use zones for redemption games (referred to in the record as "games of skill"); adding Section 701.04 to permit the use of accessory structures on adjoining lots; and including a repealer, severability clause and an effective date. Solicitor Tim Wachter and Constituent Services Representative Kim Tuszynski were listed as officials present; Councilors Cross, Osborn, Steadman and Kerns were recorded as in attendance.
No members of the public attended the hearing to offer comments, and the record states "No visitors were present." With no public testimony to receive, Councilor Steadman moved that the hearing be adjourned; Councilor Osborn seconded the motion. The hearing adjourned at 6:09 P.M.
The transcript of the hearing records only the informational presentation of the proposed ordinance language and the absence of public comment. It does not show any formal vote on the ordinance itself or a council decision to adopt or reject the proposed amendments. Any subsequent procedural steps, such as formal consideration or vote on Ordinance #1118, were not recorded in this hearing transcript.
