Union City Borough published its agenda for an Aug. 13 council meeting set for 6 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street. The posting lists several motions the council will consider, including a proposed $500 property purchase, drainage work and multiple easement actions.

The agenda indicates the Mayor will make reports and may present a motion to hire a part-time police officer; the Police Chief, the Street Supervisor and the Borough Manager are each listed to give reports. Specifics about staffing, including candidate names or salaries, are not provided in the posted agenda. The agenda also lists two executive sessions: one "to discuss personnel with possible action to be taken" and a later session "to discuss personnel & contracts with no action to be taken."

Several infrastructure and land-use items appear on the agenda. The Street Supervisor is scheduled to update the council on storm-sewer repairs at Municipal Lot #3.

A finance-related motion would approve the borough's 2025 Minimum Municipal Obligations for pensions; the agenda lists the motion but does not specify contribution amounts or funding sources. The posting also includes a motion to approve minutes from the July 23 meeting and routine administration and department liaison reports.

The agenda lists a motion described only as "purchase of property for $500" but does not identify the parcel, seller or funding mechanism.
