Union City Council approves routine motions, ordinances and resolutions in unanimous votes
Summary
At its Sept. 16 meeting the council unanimously approved multiple routine motions and ordinance amendments, including agenda and minutes approvals, a tax exoneration for 121 East High, parking and zoning ordinance amendments, and trick-or-treat hours.
Union City Borough Council carried a series of unanimous votes Sept. 16 that approved routine operating items, ordinance amendments and a tax exoneration.
Actions approved included: the meeting agenda and Aug. 27 minutes; acceptance of the Secretary’s Report and payment of bills; advertising a proposed tenant-registration amendment; a resolution to exonerate $5,563.49 in taxes on 121 East High (a property purchased by the Land Bank); amendments to Parking Ordinance 1137 and Zoning Ordinance 1118 (the latter adding rules for redemption games and accessory structures on adjoining lots); approval of trick-or-treat hours for Oct. 31 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.; and a resolution supporting Erie County’s effort to develop a new countywide comprehensive housing plan. All motions reported in the minutes carried unanimously.
Who moved the motions: Typical movers and seconders recorded in the minutes included Councilor Kerns, Councilor Osborn and Councilor Steadman; in each instance the minutes note the motion carried unanimously.
Why this matters: The votes update local land-use and parking rules, approve a tax-exoneration on a Land Bank property, and direct staff to pursue grant funding and ordinance amendments that affect residents and businesses.
Next steps: Advertised ordinance amendments will proceed according to statutory notice requirements; the tenant-registration amendment was authorized to be advertised for public review, and administrative follow-up on the tax exoneration and housing-plan resolution will proceed per borough practice.
