City Manager Nate Reid and staff said they have identified 15 blocks for street work that could begin July 1 and that previous delays were driven by equipment availability. Bryce and staff said the arena project was progressing and remained on track for a June opening, with electricians and state approvals for concessions underway. City staff reported that the America’s Best Inn proposal is waiting on an ODOT study, which will determine engineering requirements and influence financing; staff said the study had been delayed but was expected to return soon.

On industrial development, city staff said Project Duke is advancing and staff will propose an amendment to I-1 (industrial) zoning to list distribution centers and warehousing as permitted uses rather than requiring use-by-review. That change will be sent to the Planning Commission for a May 22 hearing and return to the council on June 2. Staff also discussed continuing economic-development outreach for the commercial/industrial park.

No formal council decisions were made in the May 5 updates; staff said follow-up items will appear on future agendas once studies and plan documents are complete.","City staff told the Perry City Council on May 5 they plan street work beginning July 1 on 15 residential blocks, the arena aims to open in June, an ODOT study is delaying an America’s Best Inn funding step, and planners will propose I-1 zoning language to permit distribution centers for Project Duke.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6246165,"Perry approves solid-waste contract extension with Davis Sanitation, keeps 2% rate option",418,2247000,2665000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3219678-50d15562623b93bd77bab7865d42c408&start=2247&end=2665","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3219678-50d15562623b93bd77bab7865d42c408/thumbnail_2247000.jpg","/articles/6246165/Perry/Noble-County/Oklahoma/Perry-approves-solid-waste-contract-extension-with-Davis-Sanitation-keeps-2-rate-option","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246165-448df213320db985e1a1f898a55970b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1775040197&Signature=eCh4KBgM0kylRhPuOs3afu1vW-XycgYHQNBGqIjb~z-kTxyUrvHvxqsrdvoHSD1MO57N9cm8TFFhdgVmfv28Z9iBCCKqUnXY-jmP2WAIgnt3a3sJ~XG7TihO87Zljcn8SVv6WSKSphgYnQpPBZwHYZ7V6XjeVtPa~e~g1Bl5HZxMEhIQ8H-iQVVmpekYOmGqizLP4N985IYWwo3MuEHydpanmAXbs1njVmTTLUSJiV7csQ6ILnHHtCTtdQekzQ~BDKjq2-Hz51BGHZ5R98XeHCO0hezw9Mkpp33A3Ruv-VcRorecN6pmvhlrFbRrnaQryL7rZ2eZzrxtBMxi~3BU-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perry City Council on May 5 approved the municipal solid-waste collection and disposal contract with Davis Sanitation Inc. for fiscal year 2025–26, which includes an option for a 2% net rate increase over the prior contract rate. Council members recorded unanimous support in roll call votes during the business session.

During discussion, council members and staff described ongoing service issues, particularly limb and brush pickup, and said residents sometimes misunderstand the city’s pickup procedures. The council and staff discussed the transfer station’s value to the city and logistics of limb pickup, noting the contract contains separate provisions for biweekly and monthly collection and rules on sized material and tying. One speaker referenced the city’s annual payment to the contractor as “about $440,000 a month,” described as an approximation in the meeting.

Council members asked staff to remind Davis Sanitation of contractual pickup commitments and suggested scheduling a meeting with the company to clarify expectations. No change to the contract’s funding source was made; the staff recommended using reserves for any appropriation needed for the contract.","The Perry City Council approved a FY25–26 solid-waste contract with Davis Sanitation Inc., including an option for a 2% net rate increase; councilmembers discussed service complaints and the transfer station.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6246169,"Council delays vote on expanding downtown improvement grants to include residences",492,2684000,3176000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3219678-50d15562623b93bd77bab7865d42c408&start=2684&end=3176","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3219678-50d15562623b93bd77bab7865d42c408/thumbnail_2684000.jpg","/articles/6246169/Perry/Noble-County/Oklahoma/Council-delays-vote-on-expanding-downtown-improvement-grants-to-include-residences","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246169-56f98625127215c5dac331f116531efe/orig.mp4?Expires=1775040197&Signature=OiYcU-RmaqTXm54JRCQ9I38bFe6e7KGAaP4lONqpywgQPKHcQtcD5nxzImsimUQ8u3fqgBkJLs~rO-G5kpSekLF7vwPGNU34NBFKiWNC1DgFO4vEkNE5q40x1mqni2wOALIsRvX7Asg9mdCWJWy6K6nT-Y0FMrInruieCbwTyqEnhX~OWnX~nlrDZL4IW1zQxS0~cU3rBcEBkQm5HFga3ByQP7W9UHP~9VqwOmRv2Vps4IGFdMfRQEE9RruRrcfTwufZgBje2iw5QgSahWpSSCyohfjsoVpdQ9AXjVbSkrdB9DcIPI495RhOXAWOgIADElTgSdnjurqm~U~fLeYEVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perry City Council on May 5 considered an amendment to the downtown square improvement program to allow residential properties within the Perry Family Friendly District to apply for grants and discussed increasing the total funds available. Council members debated whether the program should remain focused on commercial projects that could increase the city’s tax base or be expanded to help homeowners prepare residences for a potential historic preservation overlay.

City staff told the council that $15,000 had already been set aside for the program for the current year and that awards are handled on a first-come, first-served basis and must be approved by the CFO and city manager. Supporters of expanding eligibility said residential inclusion would show good faith to property owners in the proposed district; opponents and some staff noted the city would not recoup residential investment the way it might from commercial projects.

Several council members recommended waiting for public input. The council voted to table the amendment until after a May 12 town-hall meeting on the proposed historic preservation district. The city staff said the planning commission will hold hearings on related zoning and ordinance changes on May 22 and return items to the council on June 2.

No funding change was approved at the May 5 meeting; the council left the $15,000 allocation in place for this fiscal year.","The Perry City Council discussed widening its downtown improvement program to allow residential properties in the Perry Family Friendly District to apply for grants but voted to table the change until after a May 12 public meeting on the proposed historic preservation district.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6246174,"Perry honors retiring municipal judge Sherry Wallace",425,421000,846000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3219678-50d15562623b93bd77bab7865d42c408&start=421&end=846","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3219678-50d15562623b93bd77bab7865d42c408/thumbnail_421000.jpg","/articles/6246174/Perry/Noble-County/Oklahoma/Perry-honors-retiring-municipal-judge-Sherry-Wallace","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246174-a358f063f1aba8b3e17f5913730d2be3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775040197&Signature=M8bq-sqGwc0xRpVbIAMwkBNYyhI0mTk8Q1PgW2ea4Of5~SVyZp35lV9SD35XIgi~poqp6xlDMjZdTD3U2KJReummTWF1PHQft7fjKlVhBkNmVroxJZ~hKtahdp14VrpoB-qFjEUhckC-ueLnhIYYT1PL-gTmzm0Z1GVjG3-7MxX3SeB4fbBwVdDoBgmP7WXATXzlhEpeu9rugvQmVkVzYhQ3PUk08-QZakHZOeReaJkkiJhaPqwY8dNXwadynuzJPdTKl~t~0vDnwSrq2tc1XS8EqqrE9x0ZKSKJgxvLDm~Xi5OIZ3ByUxMYmQLAKReIAMUkL1-5kmR6~pojsWek5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perry City Council issued a proclamation on May 5 honoring Municipal Judge Sherry Wallace on her retirement after 15 years as municipal judge for the city of Perry. Mayor Lawrence Wortham presented the proclamation during the council’s regular meeting and members of the community and the judge’s family attended.

The proclamation, read by the mayor, said Wallace had practiced law for more than 38 years and noted her service as an associate municipal judge before becoming the city’s municipal judge. In remarks to the council, Municipal Judge Sherry Wallace said serving on the municipal bench had been “one of the highlights of my career as a lawyer.” She described efforts during her tenure to raise courtroom standards, adopt a dress code and create plea forms to make defendants’ constitutional rights and probation conditions clearer.

Wallace thanked the council and introduced family members in the audience, including her husband and daughters. The council presented gifts and said a copy of the proclamation would be published in the Perry Daily Journal.

No formal council action or vote was required beyond the presentation of the proclamation.","The Perry City Council issued a proclamation on May 5 recognizing Municipal Judge Sherry Wallace’s retirement after more than a decade on the bench and decades in legal practice.","actionData","errors"]
