Union City posts July 23 agenda with broadband application, park/trail bid and stormwater repairs
Summary
Union City Borough's posted agenda for July 23, 2024 lists a pre-meeting on broadband, a motion to seek Broadband Ready Community designation with Erie Area COG as municipal champion, motions to award a park/trail bid and to approve stormwater repairs, and updates to the Right-to-Know policy; the posted agenda does not record votes or movers.
The Union City Borough Council posted an agenda for its July 23, 2024 meeting at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, noting a public meeting on broadband at 5:45 p.m. and the council meeting at 6:00 p.m.
On the posted agenda, council business includes routine approvals — the agenda itself, minutes from the July 9 meeting, the secretary’s report, and paid and unpaid bills — all listed as motions without recorded movers or vote results.
The agenda highlights several substantive items. It lists a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing application for the Broadband Ready Community program and to appoint Erie Area Council of Governments (Erie Area COG) as the borough’s municipal broadband champion. A separate public meeting on broadband is scheduled before the council session; the posted agenda does not describe the content of that meeting or any recommendations coming from it.
The agenda also lists a motion to approve repairs to stormwater infrastructure in Municipal Lot #1 and a motion to award the bid for the Devereaux Park/French Creek Trail project. Neither the bid amount nor the recommended contractor is specified in the posted agenda.
Administratively, the borough plans a motion to add information to the Right-to-Know policy; the posted agenda does not specify what additional information would be included. The agenda further schedules discussion of amended parking and zoning ordinances and routine department reports, including Code Enforcement and Zoning (June 2024 reports), the Mayor, the Police Chief, and the Streets supervisor.
The posted agenda closes with liaison reports and an executive session to discuss personnel and contracts "with no action to be taken." The agenda lists the motions to be considered but contains no record of movers, seconds, vote tallies, or final outcomes.
