Union City Council Rejects Tennis Court Surfacing Bid
The Union City Borough Council declined a bid to surface two Carlisce Park courts with six inches of material and instead set a four inch top on the courts. A negotiating committee with the police department was formed to discuss salary schedules under a $20,000 grant for a local community center. The panel includes Norman Troyer, McKinney, and others, to resolve pay scale changes while ~12,000 of the grant funds would pay director and bookkeeper costs and utilities at a new location. The remaining 8,000 funds will back programs like a day care and job training as well as planning for future building use and possible Main and High street intersection changes.
