Council approves Perry–Willard regional water reclamation budget; Willard's share may rise to ~$299,000
Summary
Council approved the Perry–Willard Regional Water Reclamation Facility budget, noting line items including $17,331 for IFAS repairs and an estimated Willard share rising from ~$266,000 to ~$299,000; Council asked for follow-up clarification with Perry City finance.
Councilmember Rex Christensen presented the joint sewer board budget for the Perry–Willard Regional Water Reclamation Facility and noted discrepancies between figures discussed at the board and the circulated document. Specific FY 2026–27 items cited included $17,331 for IFAS repair and parts, $7,000 for gear oil supplies, $4,000 for IFAS gearbox oil, and an estimated step screen replacement of about $15,000 with an expected service life over 15 years.
Councilmember Mike Braegger and others acknowledged that Willard's contribution appeared higher than in the prior year (from approximately $266,000 amended to an estimated $299,000) and recommended follow-up with Perry City finance for clarification. The Council approved the budget on a roll call vote.
