Union City agenda includes resolution to apply for 'Broadband Ready Community' status, names Erie Area COG as potential champion
Summary
The borough's July 23 agenda lists 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 lists the motion but does not record any decision or vote.
The Borough of Union City’s posted agenda for July 23 includes a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the borough to apply for 'Broadband Ready Community' status and, if pursued, to appoint the Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the municipal broadband champion.
The agenda lists the item among miscellaneous updates and explicitly states "MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION FOR BROADBAND READY COMMUNITY AND APPOINTING ERIE AREA COG AS THE MUNICIPAL BROADBAND CHAMPION FOR THE BOROUGH." The posting does not include the resolution text, a mover or seconder, or a voting outcome.
A public meeting specifically about broadband is scheduled at 5:45 p.m., before the 6:00 p.m. council meeting time, indicating the council expects to receive input or information about broadband matters before considering the resolution. The agenda also includes an administrative slot for the borough manager and department liaison reports that may provide background for the resolution.
Because the posted agenda does not include the text of the resolution or a recorded vote, the council’s minutes or a subsequent posting would be needed to confirm whether the borough formally adopted the resolution or appointed Erie Area COG.
