Union City agenda lists broadband-ready resolution and names Erie Area COG as municipal broadband champion

The Union City Borough Council agenda for July 23, 2024, lists a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing an application for the "Broadband Ready" program and to appoint Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the borough's municipal broadband champion. A public meeting on broadband is scheduled to occur at 5:45 p.m. before the regular council meeting.

The posted agenda does not include the text of the proposed resolution, any funding details, or a staff report explaining the implications of the designation. The agenda entry identifies Erie Area COG by name but does not specify the duties, timeline, or any contractual terms that would accompany the appointment.

Because the document provided is a posted agenda rather than minutes or a transcript of debate, no vote totals, motions' makers or seconders, or staff presentations are recorded. The item is listed for consideration at the July 23 meeting; any final action, including adoption of the resolution or formal appointment, would appear in meeting minutes or a later record if taken.

The agenda places the broadband public meeting at 5:45 p.m., followed by the 6:00 p.m. council meeting at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street. Members of the public who wish to speak on the broadband item would be expected to attend the earlier public meeting or the Hearing of the Visitors listed on the agenda.
