Perry Council approves sewer-board reappointments, interlocal fire/EMS agreement, America250 resolution and ordinance 26-a

The Perry City Council on Jan. 22 approved a set of routine and ceremonial actions, including reappointments to the regional sewer board, an interlocal agreement for fire and emergency medical services, a resolution to participate in America250 Utah and an ordinance to serve invalid portions of a prior ordinance.

The council unanimously reappointed Nathan Tueller, Zach Allen and Josh Bragger to the regional sewer board. An unnamed presenter explained the board composition (two Perry appointees, two Willard appointees and one neutral member both cities agree on); the council moved and approved the reappointments on a roll-call vote. No dissent was recorded.

Council members approved Resolution 2026-01, an interlocal agreement for fire and emergency medical services. Council discussion focused on timing of payments and a backdated year-one recognition. Staff reported that one payment had already been made and that the overall contract figure in the materials reflected a changed total; the council voted to adopt the resolution by roll call.

The council then approved Resolution 2026-03 to register Perry as a participating community in the statewide America250 Utah celebration and to create a local committee to plan activities. Staff said the registration enables the city to apply for up to $1,500 in grant funding available only to cities and counties, and that the committee will follow open-meetings requirements. Council members asked how committee members would be selected, whether activities would bind the city, and whether the committee would dissolve after the anniversary; staff said the intention was to fold America250 activities into the city’s existing Fourth of July program and to include a dissolution date in the committee terms.

Separately, the council moved to approve Ordinance 26-a, described in the packet as serving invalid portions of Ordinance 23-p; the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
