The Perry City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, due to the President’s Day holiday.

The Perry Rotary Club awarded Perry Superintendent Clark Wicks the 2025 Civil Servant of the Year Award at the beginning of the meeting.

Items on the agenda that were approved included a resolution authorizing and approving a loan agreement, providing for the sale and issuance of general obligation bonds and providing for the levy of taxes to pay the same and a pay application for the wastewater treatment facility improvements.

Other items that were approved included resolutions awarding a quote for the 2026 crack sealing project to Parking Lot Specialties, LLC and approving the Print Fleet Management Contract for the administrative office. 

The council also held the second and third readings of an ordinance rezoning a parcel from agricultural district to light industrial in the Perry Industrial Park.

The council took no action on the second readings of the other two zoning ordinances. The ordinances would change the zoning district from agricultural and light industrial to residential multi-family for two apartment proposals, with one located near Iowa Street and the other on 3rd Street.

Council members requested additional information about the proposals from the developers. The zoning ordinances will be put back on the agenda for the March 2 city council meeting.
