Zach (Public Works/Utilities) gave the report. He said Perry shares a treatment plant with the neighboring city of Willard and that the survey covers collection, treatment and financial questions the state requires. Key details he reported included: the city has about 37 miles of sewer mains, two lift stations, the largest pipe diameter is 30 inches, average pipe depth is about 8 feet, and the system was constructed in phases beginning in 1973 (with major trunk lines installed around 2006). He told the council the collection system had five sections flagged during recent cleaning and inspection that will require repair estimated at $15,000–$20,000 depending on method.

On the treatment side, staff reported the mechanical plant is rated at 2,000,000 gallons per day and that recent average daily flow was about 799,000 gallons (roughly 40% of design capacity). Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) loadings were reported under design limits; staff said there have been no sanitary sewer overflows or basement flooding this year and no permit violations.

Staff described operations and maintenance practices: the city performs system cleaning on a three-year cycle with manhole-to-manhole camera inspections staggered annually, has a preventive maintenance program, and maintains near-complete GIS mapping of the collection system. Zach said the city has not updated its collection O&M manual or completed an impact-fee study for sewer within the past five years and suggested both are worth pursuing. He also noted the city does not currently set aside 2% of replacement cost annually toward sewer capital (a metric asked on the survey).

Other operational points: the treatment plant’s biosolids are taken to the Weber Sewer District for processing (staff said the city pays a disposal fee; an example payment referenced in discussion was about $2,000 per month), staffing at the plant is in transition with plans to hire additional operators and a manager, and staff recommended evaluating an impact-fee study and updating the capital facilities plan to ensure sufficient funds for future major repairs.

The council did not act on the survey; the item was informational and no formal motions were required.","Public works staff presented the annual state-required municipal wastewater (MWPP) survey.

City staff presented the certified tax-rate options and said accepting the certified rate would avoid a truth-in-taxation hearing. Staff also described how the rate interacts with the tentative budget: the certified rate produces roughly $8,000 less revenue than the tentative budget had projected, while maintaining the current rate as proposed would raise about $65,000 and would require the truth-in-taxation process.

Council and staff discussed the city’s planned use of fund balance and capital reappropriations. Staff said the budget under review would reappropriate about $546,000 from fund balance toward capital projects, lowering the general-fund balance to about 24% from roughly 35% the prior year. Council members raised concerns about the sustainability of drawing fund balance and noted some of the reappropriations were one-time costs (landscaping and the 1200 West north-side project). Staff told the council roughly $500,000 in reappropriations was anticipated, about half of which staff said is covered by grant funding; details were described as included in the updated budget packet.

After discussion a council member moved to adopt Resolution 2025-11 adopting the final tax rate at 0.001801 for fiscal year 2025–26. The council adopted the resolution by roll-call vote; Council member Young, Council member Walker, Council member Osler and Council member Wright were recorded as voting yes. Council member Tueller was not present. The motion carried unanimously among members present.

Council staff emphasized the budget itself will be approved at a later meeting and may be adjusted within the parameters set by the adopted rate.","Perry City Council adopted Resolution 2025-11 setting a final certified tax rate of 0.001801 for fiscal year 2025–26.
