Union City Borough posts Aug. 13 agenda including $500 property purchase, part-time police hire and pension MMO
Summary
Union City Borough posted its Aug. 13, 2024 council agenda listing motions to purchase property for $500, consider hiring a part-time police officer, install a catch basin and sign at 104 East High Street, review a proposed subdivision and sign a boat-launch easement, and approve 2025 pension MMOs.
The Borough of Union City posted an agenda for its Aug. 13, 2024 council meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, that lists a series of procedural and substantive items for council consideration.
The agenda leads with routine business — approval of the agenda and a motion to approve minutes from the July 23, 2024 meeting — and schedules a public "Hearing of the Visitors." It also shows an executive session to discuss personnel with a notation that possible action may be taken following that session.
Under the mayor's section, the agenda lists reports and a 'possible motion to hire a part-time officer.' The Police Chief is listed to give reports or recommendations; the posted agenda does not include further detail about recruitments, staffing timelines, or salary for the proposed position.
The Street Supervisor is listed to provide a "Storm Sewer Repairs — Municipal Lot #3 Update," a staff-report item on the condition or planned repairs for storm infrastructure in a municipal lot.
The Borough Manager's items include several motions on the posted agenda: a motion to approve the purchase of property for $500; a motion to approve installing a catch basin at 104 East High Street and to install a sign; a motion to approve a proposed subdivision on West High Street property; and a motion to sign an easement for a boat launch. The agenda lists those motions but does not identify who would move or second them, nor does it show any supporting exhibits or staff reports attached to the posted notice.
The agenda also lists a motion to approve the 2025 Minimum Municipal Obligations (MMOs) for pensions, the annual figure municipalities must certify for municipal pension plans. The posted agenda does not provide the MMO dollar amounts or plan-by-plan detail.
Finally, the agenda schedules administration and department liaison reports, then a second executive session "to discuss personnel & contracts with no action to be taken," and adjournment. The posted agenda therefore contains at least one personnel item that could lead to formal action and at least one executive session explicitly listed as informational only.
The council meeting is set for Aug. 13 at 6:00 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church; the posted agenda provides the motions that may appear on the meeting docket but does not include vote tallies, supporter names, or outcomes. Members of the public planning to attend can expect discussion and possible votes on the items listed above.
