Agenda lists motion to seek 'Broadband Ready' designation, names Erie Area COG as champion
Summary
Union City Borough's July 23 agenda includes a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing an application for 'Broadband Ready Community' status and to appoint Erie Area COG as the municipal broadband champion; the agenda includes a 5:45 P.M. public meeting on broadband but lists no funding or vote details.
Union City Borough's posted agenda for the July 23, 2024 council meeting lists a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the borough to apply for designation as a "Broadband Ready Community" and to appoint Erie Area COG as the municipal broadband champion for the borough.
The agenda also notes a public meeting on broadband scheduled at 5:45 P.M. before the 6:00 P.M. council session. The agenda text does not specify the contents of the proposed resolution, any funding source, an implementation timeline, or who will present the item at the meeting.
Because the document is an agenda listing motions rather than minutes, it does not record whether the resolution will be adopted or the terms of any appointment. Additional details and any board action (motions, seconds, votes or conditions) would be expected to appear in the meeting minutes or a subsequent staff report if the council takes the item up on July 23.
The agenda identifies Erie Area COG by name as the organization to be appointed as the borough's municipal broadband champion; the agenda does not provide a written description of that organization's proposed responsibilities or any contract terms.
The agenda lists the First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, as the meeting location and a 5:45 P.M. public meeting on broadband that precedes the council meeting.
