Union City adopts resolution to seek Broadband Ready Community designation, names Erie Area COG as champion
Summary
Union City Borough Council unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing an application to the PBDA for Broadband Ready Community designation and appointed the Erie Area Council of Governments as the borough's municipal broadband champion. The minutes record a prior public meeting with no public attendees.
Union City Borough Council voted unanimously July 23 to adopt a resolution authorizing an application to the PBDA for Broadband Ready Community designation and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments as the borough as municipal broadband champion.
The minutes note a prior public meeting about broadband took place shortly before the council meeting; the minutes contain two slightly different times for that public meeting (the header records it as 5:48–5:59 p.m.; a later line records the public meeting as held at 5:45 p.m.) and that no members of the public attended. The resolution authorized staff to apply to the PBDA and to assign Erie Area Council of Governments as the borough's point of contact for the application process.
The minutes do not include a copy of the resolution text, the application timeline, or an explicit funding plan for any follow-up broadband work. The borough will proceed with the application process through the Erie Area COG as recorded in the minutes.
Next steps recorded: staff to prepare and submit the PBDA application under the aegis of Erie Area Council of Governments; the minutes do not list a deadline for submission or the staff lead by name.
