Union City lists ‘Broadband Ready’ application, proposes Erie Area COG as municipal broadband champion
Summary
The Borough’s July 23 agenda lists a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing an application for the ‘Broadband Ready’ designation and to appoint Erie Area COG as the municipal broadband champion; the posted agenda includes a 5:45 p.m. public meeting on broadband and gives no vote outcome.
At its July 23, 2024 meeting notice, the Union City Borough Council listed a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing an application for the “Broadband Ready” designation and to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the borough’s municipal broadband champion.
The agenda, posted for a 6:00 p.m. meeting at First Global Methodist Church and a 5:45 p.m. public meeting on broadband, identifies the motion but does not include the resolution text, mover, second, or any recorded vote outcome. The agenda language is limited to a procedural listing: “MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION FOR BROADBAND READY.”
The agenda also separately lists “appointing Erie Area COG as the municipal broadband champion for the borough,” but it does not state the proposed scope, terms, or any contractual obligations tied to that appointment. No costs, timelines, or implementation steps are provided in the posted agenda.
The agenda positions the broadband items for discussion and possible formal action during the July 23 meeting; because the posted agenda does not record a vote or outcome, the motion’s status is not specified in the available record. Council members, staff, or private partners are not named in the posted agenda in connection with the motion.
