Perry council approves consent agenda, housing-services agreement and infrastructure monitoring
Summary
At its regular meeting the council approved the consent agenda, appointed residents to boards, accepted the FY2025 audit, approved a Region 12 technical-services agreement for a CDBG roof program, authorized a temporary construction easement for downtown redevelopment, and approved sanitary-flow monitoring to study sewer inflow and infiltration.
Perry City Council approved a set of routine and project-focused measures at its regular meeting, including grant-administration, easements, appointments and diagnostic infrastructure work.
The council approved the consent agenda, which included routine minutes, payments for contract services (five to Bolton Bank and one to EOC Environmental totaling $64,971.50) and a claims register/financials totaling $232,934.70. Council members recorded 'yes' responses on the consent roll call.
On a separate item, the council passed a resolution approving a technical-services agreement with Region 12 for administration of a Community Development Block Grant owner-occupied roof-repair program; Region 12 staff said up to six houses could be served and that homeowners at or below 80% of area median income would not be required to pay for the roof work. Council approved the agreement on roll call.
Council also approved a temporary construction easement with Sheffer Enterprises LLC in support of downtown redevelopment work, with discussion noting the contractor may need roof access under appropriate OSHA protections and that an additional easement with Wells Fargo is pending for underground electrical work.
Appointments were confirmed: Joseph Pun was appointed to the Airport Commission (four-year term) and Hannah Pierce was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (three-year term). The council accepted the fiscal year 2025 annual audit report; staff noted routine segregation-of-duties comments typical in small local governments and described software improvements to strengthen internal controls.
Finally, council approved a professional-services agreement to install sanitary-flow monitors in a designated Zone 4 to gather about six months of wet- and dry-season data to locate inflow and infiltration sources and guide targeted repairs. Council members stressed this monitoring is diagnostic and not a repair contract.
All recorded votes on these items were affirmative in the meeting transcript; no items were tabled or failed during the session.
