Public works and utilities staff reported that plant flows were down due to dry weather, which reduced chemical and electricity use. The council discussed vehicle inventory and replacements: the transcript references two \"93 Kodiaks\" assigned to wastewater and water operations and mentions the pursuit of two new garbage trucks via state or program funding pathways.

Council members said their lobbyist and consultants were helping identify funding or incentive programs that may subsidize vehicle replacements. They described a program in which retiring older vehicles could be eligible for replacement funding if removed from service.

On billing, staff said the city will transition away from a previous billing system and will begin printing bills while offering and encouraging e-billing enrollment. Staff reported many customers have signed up for e-bills and that the finance department will work with contract printers in the near term to produce mailed statements until the new system is fully operational. Council members noted public questions about mailing and postcard production and asked staff to continue outreach.

No formal procurement motions or purchase approvals for vehicles or billing systems are recorded in the transcript; council members treated these items as operational updates and directed staff to continue implementation work and outreach.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Council Meeting 2025.05.27","oneSentenceSummary","Council members reviewed utility plant operations, discussed vehicle replacements including garbage trucks and Kodiak units, and confirmed a move toward printing and electronic billing options; no purchasing motions were recorded in the transcript.","taxTitle","City of Perry, Taylor County, Florida","taxId",71813,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6221651,"Council members discuss federal, state recovery and infrastructure grants as opportunity for water and wastewater projects",220,630000,850000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3611740-fab39b32b3865e0a4f7f626ff63b1fe2&start=630&end=850","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3611740-fab39b32b3865e0a4f7f626ff63b1fe2/thumbnail_630000.jpg","/articles/6221651/Florida/Council-members-discuss-federal-state-recovery-and-infrastructure-grants-as-opportunity-for-water-and-wastewater-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6221651-b1e0d5d2b8b810e381da14f6a9b4ce72/orig.mp4?Expires=1770812825&Signature=l2YkVYKqxzROm9IFTivTBAZJpNmiB8h4Ge0lyDefjSvZ9joOlMS2MAFsxCSHXHtPrNojr8wMTsjcsYYnjs7mgaD5rMjPWzZrFbjJNpR7eLDw8SEPCmq1J66l6pSKMZ6IqSVkteWWx31jBpDsKFEsJCQJopqaivKM2bwWX3uWcXZf89vRWz3aNlYyyekCSJEwVp~p23kgNF0sniFT01YaISeJO1fJev3JNU0Vx5vqObmBm~wtTmfPWP7g9sLCdIXcW5-f~fHhpZ8joFBqSKB6Yz~6u3wvUauxtOf1a~U5364UU5H-M-v3gkFfOP6YHKkxsaTcTzTJ5Zw6MLjxaSOYPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the City of Perry City Council reported attending a recent meeting with engineers, grant consultants and state representatives to discuss recovery and infrastructure funding opportunities and said they plan to pursue applicable grants for water and wastewater projects.

Council discussion referenced Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and federal infrastructure pools discussed at the meeting. One council member described a larger state and federal funding picture discussed at the session: a multibillion-dollar set of allocations for wastewater and water projects was mentioned in the conversation (transcript references to \"1,700,000,000 for wastewater projects and 1,300,000,000 for water projects\"). The council emphasized that the city will need to coordinate applications and follow the correct submission processes with engineers and grant consultants.

Council members said the workshop included representatives from USDA, Florida Commerce and other grant consultants and that local engineers and the city's lobbyist would help navigate application rules and deadlines. Staff indicated they will pursue appropriate phases of a multi-phase infrastructure plan and aim to submit eligible projects to the right programs.

Council members cautioned that application processes can be detailed and time-consuming and noted that some funding streams prioritize larger regional projects. The council asked staff and consultants to continue work on applications and to report back with specifics, including project lists and timelines.","Council members reported attending a regional funding workshop and discussed multiple grant programs (CDBG, USDA, state programs) as potential sources for water and wastewater projects and disaster recovery funds; staff and consultants will help prepare applications.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6221656,"Council continues search for Perry Fire Pension Board appointee after no candidates accepted",51,445000,496000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3611740-fab39b32b3865e0a4f7f626ff63b1fe2&start=445&end=496","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3611740-fab39b32b3865e0a4f7f626ff63b1fe2/thumbnail_445000.jpg","/articles/6221656/Florida/Council-continues-search-for-Perry-Fire-Pension-Board-appointee-after-no-candidates-accepted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6221656-d2c7e3e98eb8f38da3d94ac5ce7896ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1770812825&Signature=G85sa4u4cNNdSuV-pUEnHCb0iaTy5GDYLIXq6o14f06l9iaQnA7dzoEo72V50on3XMHAxT0wCK8P4uPTR5Ar7TeryJAHbCb596M-7zZkyULTgPOq~XuHKSh1r6IWHKdHhCT2HRUwq~7m8NVL5lMm4Lf5uLToKRJBUD43zx4NFqmUgIcU1zqqNJDP9G2KJbBtadWLVVhb2ZC6c~A14ZQ5fR4r2A00oKZOySuuPcAbw8M8adJvBPCeD0siztjvVKU9GcRQCsjJfpMmYImE6cwg5UPdcY4d4oLG1JmhCiUrExTZkW88x5ljT8VYRucQkymATVYXChH2~Fb-20n5Ji8I2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Perry City Council discussed filling one vacancy on the Perry Fire Pension Board of Trustees on May 27 but did not appoint a candidate at the meeting after three potential candidates declined or were ineligible.

Council members instructed staff to continue recruiting and to keep the vacancy on the agenda until a willing and eligible candidate is found.

The discussion clarified that the application process involves a multi-page form and separate administrative requirements; council members said they did not want to mix the pension-board appointment with other applications such as hospital grant requests. No motion to appoint a trustee was recorded in the transcript.

The council asked staff to continue outreach and return with qualified candidates at a future meeting.

Council members said the manager's performance was strong overall and noted areas of communication and meeting participation. Several council members complimented the manager's work; no motion with a documented final vote on the evaluation appears in the meeting record provided.

The discussion took place during agenda item 6(a), labeled \"City manager evaluation.\" Council members spoke about the document and offered remarks about meeting conduct and performance. The transcript records comments that the evaluation was \"pretty good\" and that the manager was \"doing a great job all the way around,\" but it does not show a completed formal vote on any specific personnel action.

Because the transcript does not include a recorded motion or vote to approve, certify, or amend the evaluation, the council's discussion should be treated as discussion only in this meeting. Any subsequent personnel actions, such as formal adoption of the evaluation, performance-related pay changes, or contract amendments, would require either a recorded motion and vote or a later meeting with corresponding minutes.

Council members indicated they would continue routine oversight and follow established personnel processes for future action if needed. No timeline for follow-up or assignment to staff was recorded in the provided transcript.","Council members discussed the city manager's annual evaluation and expressed overall approval of performance during a public meeting May 27; no formal vote or appointment was recorded on the evaluation in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
