Loading...
Summary
At the April 28 meeting the City of Perry council adopted Resolution 2026-16 (Taylor County local mitigation strategy), approved Resolution 2026-17 (a budget amendment tied to consumer connections) and directed staff to draft a revised tax-abatement contract for Prospect/Greater Apartments to return for approval.
The City of Perry council took several formal steps on April 28, 2026:
• Resolution 2026-16 (Taylor County Local Mitigation Strategy): The council voted to adopt the county mitigation strategy, enabling the city to apply for hazard-mitigation grants tied to listed projects. The adoption was approved by roll call during the meeting.
• Resolution 2026-17 (Budget amendment — consumer connections): The council voted in favor of the budget amendment as presented during the agenda roll call.
• Prospect/Greater Apartments direction: The council directed staff to draft a tax-abatement contract for the Prospect/Greater Apartments project (direction only; no abatement was approved at this meeting). The draft is to reflect the council’s consensus language (a 100% abatement for five years followed by 75% for five additional years) and accountability/reporting provisions and return for a formal vote.
These outcomes were procedural steps that will result in follow-up ordinance/contract work by staff and return agenda items for formal approval.
