The mayor said a bus route serving 11 South and the Walmart will be discontinued under a broader shift to a different service model in the area; he said a main route will remain in nearby Brigham City while the local coverage is planned to move to an on-demand model similar to ride-hailing, with implementation expected in 2026. “From what I gather, at that time, they'll quit running the buses in this area, and we'll have a phone number that we call if we need to, have a movement,” the mayor said, adding that he did not have full details.

The mayor also reported discussion at the UTA briefing about school-transportation changes: he said the Salt Lake School District no longer runs school buses and that responsibility moved to the UTA; he noted some other districts are considering similar changes. The mayor said county representative Karen was present at the briefing and that the county-level changes may provide savings for certain districts, but he cautioned he did not have full detail.

No formal action or council votes regarding transit were taken at the meeting. The mayor said he would share more information when it is available.

Walker said staff are making small edits requested by reviewers and expected to submit the application by the early deadline within days. He also circulated a short online form to gauge community support and reported receiving 391 signatures in a few days: roughly one-third from Perry City residents, one-third from nearby cities such as Willard and Brigham City, and the remainder from other areas.

\"We got 391 signatures of support for the bike park,\" Walker said. He described the state division’s initial review as “very positive” and said the requested fixes were minor and being addressed.

Walker said the updated application and clear demonstration of local support will be part of the packet the city sends to the recreation division. No formal council action was recorded on the item at this meeting.

The training and the management-plan adoption address requirements under the MS4 (municipal separate storm sewer system) program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and implemented by the state Department of Environmental Quality. City staff told the council the program requires an annual review and periodic updates; the council adopted the updated plan on a roll-call vote.

Public Works staff member Zach, who delivered the training, explained why the training is required and what the city must do to stay in compliance. “As we become more developed, we create more hard surfaces...the more hard surfaces that we create, the more stormwater, doesn't just soak right into the ground,” Zach said, describing how runoff picks up pollutants as it flows to outfalls and community ponds. He noted the city is part of the MS4 permit program and that the plan must be reviewed annually and updated every five years.

Zach walked council through the program’s required minimum control measures: public-education and outreach; public involvement; illicit-discharge detection and elimination; construction-site runoff control; long-term stormwater management; and pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations. He summarized routine tasks the city performs, including biweekly inspections of active construction sites, outfall sampling after rain events, detention-pond inspections for public and private facilities, and quarterly inspections of city-owned facilities.

On construction oversight, Zach said the city requires preconstruction meetings and minimum biweekly inspections of sites, with additional visits where problems are found. He described standard best-management practices contractors must use — for example, covers for storm-drain inlets, silt fences and measures to reduce dirt tracking onto streets. “They're supposed to be managed and looked at on a minimum of a week, but it's as needed,” he said of inlet covers, adding inspections are required after storm events.

On enforcement, staff said the city previously lacked fining authority, but recent legislation allows fines after a required notice-and-cure process. Zach described a graduated process of verbal and written warnings before fines are assessed, and said most contractors comply once notified.

Staff also noted administrative and operational updates in the new plan: moving inspection records from paper to GIS/cloud systems with assistance from Jones Engineering; cleaning and camera inspections of storm pipes on a recurring schedule split into zones; and requiring retesting for certified stormwater inspectors every two years. Zach estimated the contractor-paid storm-pipe cleaning and camera work costs more than $40,000 annually when contracted in the existing schedule and said the service reduces backups and identifies pipe-repair needs.

After the presentation, Council moved to adopt the stormwater management plan by resolution. The motion for Resolution 2025-04 carried on a roll-call vote: Council member Aaron Young, Council member Dave Walker, Council member Hasler, Council member Wright and Council member Tudor all voted yes. The presiding mayor thanked the Public Works Group for their work implementing changes since the state audit.

The updated management plan will be reviewed again during the city's October annual review and as new state legislation requires additional changes. City staff said Jones Engineering will continue helping track requirements and legislative changes to maintain MS4 compliance.
