Perry approves intergovernmental infrastructure agreement with Houston County

Perry City Council · September 15, 2026

Summary

The council approved an IGA that replaces prior infrastructure agreements (except one from Aug. 2023), formalizes predevelopment review procedures, and establishes a city pass-through for a Houston County water connection fee to be collected by the city and passed directly to the county.

The Perry City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Houston County to govern infrastructure coordination and fees.

City staff and the city attorney described the agreement as replacing prior infrastructure agreements except the AE Harris agreement from August 2023 and documenting existing predevelopment procedures, including predesign conferences to review engineering and emergency management analysis. Staff also explained the IGA establishes that the city will collect a Houston County water connection fee for county-served customers and pass that fee directly through to the county. "It establishes that as a pass through from the city," the city attorney explained.

Council moved, seconded, and approved the IGA unanimously. The IGA formalizes working procedures between city and county staff and sets the mechanics for fee collection and transfer.
