Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Leaf pickup schedule
Leaf collection began October 19 and crews are working from the east side of town to the west, with multiple passes planned and a final sweep starting November 20. Residents should keep an eye on timing for their street.
Pet Oxygen Mask Kit Donation
The fire division got eight free pet oxygen mask kits from the Invisible Fence Company's Project Breathe program — enough for every truck that carries oxygen. Pets are frequent fire victims, and now crews can give them oxygen on scene.
CALEA police accreditation
A $3,978 one-year contract extension keeps the police department on track toward CALEA accreditation — the gold standard in law enforcement accreditation.
New four-way stop at Walnut and West Second
The four-way stop takes effect Monday, October 19, and the chair reports positive feedback from residents.
City facility wayfinding and parking signs
New signs will help residents find public buildings and parking — a request that came from Municipal Court, which wants court visitors to locate parking more easily. The city plans to update all its signs at once, coordinated with the facilities project.
Police Body Armor Federal Reimbursement
The city got $3,000 from a federal-local initiative that covers up to 50% of the cost of body armor vests for police officers.
Playground security fence at West Side Montessori
The school gets a 188-foot, six-foot privacy fence around its playground for child safety and as a sound barrier for neighbors.
Mosquito Control Plan
A resident asked the city to explore healthier, natural alternatives to chemical mosquito spraying. Staff will set up a meeting to discuss a solution.
Court recidivism-reduction programs
Judge Joel Kuhlman described Wood County Common Pleas programs — trade certificates, GED classes and free transportation for probationers — aimed at lowering repeat offenses.
"Store It Safe" Firearm and Medication Safety
The Police Division may buy lock-boxes for residents as part of a statewide program to keep kids safe from guns and accidental medication ingestion.
