Union City Borough Council agenda: hiring a part‑time officer, $500 property purchase and infrastructure updates on Aug. 13

The Union City Borough Council’s posted agenda for its Aug. 13, 2024, meeting at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, lists several items the council is scheduled to consider, including a possible motion to hire a part‑time police officer and a proposed property purchase for $500.

The agenda opens with routine procedural business—approval of the meeting agenda and minutes from the July 23 meeting—followed by a scheduled period for public comment under “Hearing of the Visitors.” The board also lists an early executive session to discuss personnel with a note that possible action may follow, and a later executive session explicitly noted as one in which no action will be taken.

Under public safety and personnel matters, the agenda says the Mayor will present reports and that there is a possible motion to hire a part‑time officer; the Police Chief is listed separately to deliver his own reports. The agenda does not identify any individual candidates, job description details or funding source for the hiring motion.

Infrastructure and public works items include a Street Supervisor update on storm‑sewer repairs (Municipal Lot No. 3) and a motion to approve installation of a catch basin at 104 East High Street paired with approval of a sign easement. The agenda does not specify estimated costs, contractors, or grant/funding sources for the street or storm‑sewer work.

Several land‑use and easement matters are scheduled: a motion to approve a proposed subdivision on a West High Street property and a motion to sign an easement for a boat launch. The posted agenda does not include subdivision plan details, applicant names, or a precise location for the boat launch.

Financial and administrative business on the agenda includes a motion to approve the borough’s 2025 Minimum Municipal Obligations (MMO) for pensions. The agenda lists the MMO item but does not provide the dollar amounts for the borough’s required contributions.

The borough manager and department liaisons are scheduled to provide miscellaneous updates and department reports. The agenda concludes with adjournment.

The posted agenda lists motions for consideration but does not record results; any approvals, votes or formal outcomes will only be known after the Aug. 13 meeting convenes and takes action. Residents planning to attend or comment should note the meeting time (6:00 P.M.) and location listed on the agenda.
