More from the record

Recorded in the minutes as: “1. Resolution Approving a Local Match and Application submission for a REAP Grant. Motion: Moved by Mahler, seconded by Wolling to formally approve the local match and application submission for a REAP Grant. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources was accepting grant applications through the Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) grant program, and staff had identified property within the Frog Creek corridor that if purchased would secure existing and future trail development areas. This project is a critical component of the broader Frog Creek Restoration Project, which aims to enhance ecological health, improve water quality, and increase recreational opportunities within the park. This project would enhance the park’s infrastructure, support local biodiversity, and improve the quality of life for Perry residents and visitors by providing safe, accessible, and environmentally friendly access to Frog Creek. This application submission was for a $100,000 REAP Grant with a local match in an amount not to exceed $10,000. Council participated in a phone poll on August 13, 2026 to approve the application for the REAP Grant, which was carried by a 4-0 vote, approving the submission of the grant application prior to the deadline. This resolution formally approves the submission and authorizes the local match within it”.
