I wanted to post some comments regarding our meeting last night, but at the same time clarify that my comments aren’t the official record of the meeting, nor are they to be used for anything official such as the purpose of the actual meeting notes that get reviewed and adopted by the city council each meeting. Here is a link to the agenda of the meeting last night from the main Perry City website (www.perrycity.org).
Anyway, that being said, last night’s city council meeting went really well I think. Through the course of the general comments section that is a part of each meeting, there were a handful of comments regarding the big rainstorm on Wednesday night. The mayor commented that he was out and about in the south end of the city seeing various neighbors out helping each other. Quite a bit of rainfall came down in a short period and caused a lot of dirt and mud to be moved down the hillsides in various places. There were several comments later in the meeting thanking everyone in the community and in Willard who helped out with the sandbags in providing help and assistance in activities related to the rainstorm. Most of what was talked about indicated that the storm drainage system withint the city was functioning as planned - but also outlined the importance of maintenance of drains and continued system upgrades and improvements. The City Council recently adopted some much needed changes to the storm drain impact fees accordingly to help keep the city roads and drainage areas updated and properly sized for the growth in the city.
The agenda item that covered the parks and recreation impact fees was tabled since it’s quite a complex issue and the council felt that we needed some more information and input before passing any additions to the park impact fees. Another work sessions will be scheduled in the future for the City Council to go over the proposed fees and discuss what the best options are for the community.
