No minutes from any of these meetings appear in the records provided for this roundup. Everything below is drawn from published agendas, so it reflects what was scheduled or proposed — not what was decided.
City Council, October 8: shelter agreement and storm water
The council agenda listed three action items for the 7:00 PM meeting at 1950 South Highway 89 (south entrance):
- Resolution 2026-15: Animal Shelter Agreement
- Ordinance 26-R: Storm Water Amendments
- Resolution 2026-16: Storm Water Management Plan
The agenda also listed approval of the August 27, 2026 City Council meeting minutes, along with reports from the Mayor, Council, staff, and Planning Commission. A closed session was listed as possible, for topics including real property, personnel, collective bargaining, litigation, security, or criminal misconduct investigations. The agenda notes that items may shift depending on how long discussion runs, or may be cancelled.
Planning Commission, October 1: zone changes and code updates
The Planning Commission's October 1 meeting at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers included public hearings on:
- Ordinance 26-P: a zone change to add a Development Overlay Zone with a Development Agreement to an R1A parcel at approximately 2580 S Perry Street, Parcel #02-028-0102, applicant BC Assets LLC
- Ordinance 26-N: a zone change to add a Development Overlay Zone to R1/2 at approximately 3700 S Perry Street, Parcels #02-035-0090, 02-035-0094, and 02-035-0091, applicant Lync Construction
- Ordinance 26-O: Land Use Code Updates
- Ordinance 26-Q: Special Residential Facilities
The agenda also listed approval of minutes from September 3, 2026, discussion of future projects, and assignments for representatives to attend City Council meetings. Written concerns were welcome, and the meeting was accessible via Zoom, but the agenda stated that in-person attendance was required to participate.
A Development Overlay Zone is a zoning tool that adds rules on top of an existing base zone; the agenda does not describe what the proposed overlays would allow.
Police Department: unclaimed property notice
The Perry City Police Department issued a notice regarding items held for safekeeping, evidence, and found property. The notice covers disposal of unclaimed clothing, money, bicycles, electronics, and miscellaneous personal items. According to the notice, rightful owners must provide proof of ownership and eligibility to reclaim items before they are disposed of under state law.
What the record does not show
The agendas do not state whether any of the listed items were voted on, amended, tabled, or withdrawn, and no vote tallies were available. Dollar amounts, contract terms, and the identity of the animal shelter organization were not included in the agenda material provided. The two Planning Commission entries for October 1 differ slightly in the ordinances they list; one includes Ordinance 26-N and the other does not.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings were listed in the records provided for the next 14 days. Residents who want to confirm whether the October 1 and October 8 items were acted on, or when the next council or commission meeting is scheduled, should check the city's official meeting page and published minutes.
