Union City Borough Council met Aug. 27 at First Global Methodist Church and, in a short session, approved routine procedural motions and several financial and administrative items.
The council unanimously approved the meeting agenda and the minutes of the Aug. 13 session, accepted the Secretary’s Report, and authorized payment of bills. Manager Cindy Wells reported no public comments were received.
On property and grants, the council approved a motion to remove and satisfy a municipal lien of approximately $2,690 against 121 East High Street, a property donated to the Erie County Landbank. The council also approved seven Renaissance Grant applications totaling $23,600 in grant awards across projects with a combined project cost of $60,606; Wells reported $90,547.35 remained in the Renaissance Fund.
The council passed a resolution accepting the Erie Area Council of Governments (EACOG) audit, as the COG review requires each member municipality to adopt the audit resolution. The minutes record that the council chose not to advertise bids for a towing ordinance.
