The meeting record indicates the council had convened in executive session earlier to discuss economic development negotiations and litigation matters related to Van Meadows Lands LLC; those closed-session topics were listed under the meeting’s executive session agenda. City attorney and staff advised the council in executive session on negotiation strategy before returning to open session and taking the recorded vote to approve the First Amendment.

The council’s action to approve the First Amendment was entered into the minutes by roll-call vote.

City manager reported that the city revised its approach to a planned railroad project after cost justification and federal funding reductions; rather than applying for full design and construction in one request, staff applied for about $3.5 million to cover design and environmental review now and to seek construction funding in a subsequent cycle. The change was made after estimates of the full project cost were near $17–21 million and national funding availability was reduced.

The 30 Second Street sewer main extension has been staked and contractors have until March 6 to complete the work, staff said. Separately, the water treatment plant roof project reached final walkthrough status and was reported complete after one change order for rusted roof bracing added between $5,000 and $6,000.

Council member Derek (identified in discussion as raising a concern earlier) flagged a roadway dip near the Seventh Street bridge by Wakefield. City staff said that a prior estimate to replace culverts and fix the depression was about $75,000 but Public Works staff reported they could complete the work for roughly $33,000; staff said they are assessing funding options and interim measures to reduce the bump for drivers.

Staff also reported progress on a mechanic shop roof and an upcoming meeting on the DAM (dam) project with a conservation division director. No formal council action was taken on these project updates during the open meeting portion; several items will appear again in future agendas and executive session updates.","City manager updated council on multiple infrastructure projects: pivoted railroad grant application to a $3.5 million design/environment study, a 30 Second Street sewer main extension set to start, and a damaged culvert on Seventh estimated at ~$33,000 to replace.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6354125,"Stillwater Medical reports first annual operating profit in years; minor additions to operations unit underway",55,1482000,1537000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220546-d73a984028f459c9f57bc8261f9fb5bf&start=1482&end=1537","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220546-d73a984028f459c9f57bc8261f9fb5bf/thumbnail_1482000.jpg","/articles/6354125/Perry/Noble-County/Oklahoma/Stillwater-Medical-reports-first-annual-operating-profit-in-years-minor-additions-to-operations-unit-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6354125-fe18ea7e6ad9f2f53387a5d234ba55d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1775086644&Signature=btK-ctJAJEEP3V~S~CgazkCBdGNlJ-9hRDvSf77IrsoD9PanHkpFFiIa8Rd-NvllLTzhwmTV6zEdyfVjS45suNBnFC-ZElZ4P3vmqB0wwEUFJ5EKyI~ALEMUVJYm~RWsuzVQo5sknD3tiEYtmzLUnK0tcagjoh1w2-n6tV97-YzTYrzSYjcDsOYhzJ8xPE-OzZIO6eUikjlAmrKbx-aiYlq4gyReVjG5oRXSK~CrSDBzPOIVMSTYmPd~cKdMFQJ7hh9QR9w4No-O-rcWy8nRBlyQfRJUcwAKDT6ExcNrdJqLmTaYuIBL-biEqZZSrapPrXHHYNlxJ279xr2wK02KAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Courtney, identified as CEO of Stillwater Medical, told the council the hospital closed calendar 2024 with a positive bottom line — about $60,000 — reversing a prior-year loss. Courtney said that shift reflected operational changes including work by the REH program.

Courtney also gave a facility update. She said phase 1 of the remodel is mostly demoed and that plumbing for the new operations unit is largely complete. The planned observation unit will include two observation beds and additional sleep rooms for physicians and staff that could be converted to patient rooms if needed.

Council members asked for clarification on the observation unit’s capacity and entrance changes. Courtney said the entrance will remain the same through phase 1 and that a new entrance will be announced as the project moves into phase 2.

No formal action or vote was associated with the hospital update; the presentation was recorded as an informational report to the council.","Courtney, CEO of Stillwater Medical, told the Perry City Council the hospital closed the prior year with an operating profit and gave a construction update on a phased operations unit and observation beds.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6354131,"Perry council approves $15,000 hotel-tax appropriation for downtown improvement grants",483,3049000,3532000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220546-d73a984028f459c9f57bc8261f9fb5bf&start=3049&end=3532","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220546-d73a984028f459c9f57bc8261f9fb5bf/thumbnail_3049000.jpg","/articles/6354131/Perry/Noble-County/Oklahoma/Perry-council-approves-15000-hotel-tax-appropriation-for-downtown-improvement-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6354131-c4cf74320a888ed954c4a1015f9b9fee/orig.mp4?Expires=1775086644&Signature=cdM6JL5RVjRsW2boT4VCL~BSKIp5Wp7OVYbSajqrgRSWLmSKNIgDwWWJEBtSQrY0EvlG94Qiz-zFPvGMLc0xly9iKY3h3rl7Be745~JNJiDyF55vh~AkfHtCQHSX6ziIticzEpdABW7z0th-aGHSBC7sT8wQwxskQ5IW17biOCr6ppVew5~a8P41Vqfy9wO0QH-p~CGpSz8XniO02z91tzDJoNxesGJbpj6LpJRZPMXI1AO3hfUnjC9jRxbeVh2yihoa9Z44Yot155Fy9IS2aqIHPx1Tqmj6w5G-M7MmAFpy3RiiHebXP2rukP0TqE4J0gVhg1qX7vhf0ZvjXXgXQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perry City Council approved a one-time $15,000 appropriation from the city’s hotel-motel tax to seed a downtown business district improvement program that will offer grants up to $5,000 per project.

The measure, presented as funding to support building rehabilitation for businesses or residential conversion in the downtown district, passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes. Council members said the program is intended to create “win-win” opportunities for the city and property owners by supporting projects that generate additional sales tax or utility revenue.

Main Street director Laura delivered the quarterly report tied to downtown efforts and answered council questions about how the grant program would be administered. Laura said the city will accept applications through the city and that Main Street staff will help publicize the opportunity and refer potential applicants. “We were doing our transformation strategies on Thursday and Friday…we had over 480 responses,” Laura said, describing the recent community survey used to shape downtown priorities.

Council members and staff discussed eligible projects, noting the draft program’s emphasis on facades while asking that interior work and essential life‑safety improvements be eligible as well. The council specifically noted sprinkler systems and other fire/life-safety items as examples of higher-cost but eligible uses. City staff said they would coordinate application intake through the city and leverage Main Street’s outreach to business owners.

The council and staff described the $15,000 as a one-time appropriation from available hotel-motel tax funds for the current budget year. Council members said the appropriation will be depleted as awards are made and that any future funding would require separate action.

Votes at the meeting showed a unanimous roll-call approval. The council also recorded that the program will be advertised on the city website and through Main Street outreach, and that staff would return with implementation details as applications begin.

The program is intended to complement existing Main Street facade grants and other incentive tools, not to replace them. Officials said they will monitor early demand and, if the program attracts additional applicants, may request more funding in a future budget process.","The City of Perry agreed to create a downtown business improvement program that makes up to $5,000 available per project and appropriates $15,000 from the hotel-motel tax for the program; council and Main Street leaders discussed eligible uses and marketing.","actionData","errors"]
