Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Animal Control Officer
The Safety Committee will revisit the animal control officer position eliminated years ago at its October 20 meeting — a frequent community request.
Fire Station 38 Renovation
The fire station kitchen/day-room renovation is about 40-45% done, with cabinets and flooring going in now. The goal is completion by end of November — ahead of the contractor's end-of-year target.
Invisible Fence Company Grant
The committee was scheduled to discuss a grant from the Invisible Fence Company. The purpose and value of the grant were not detailed in the published agenda.
Road salt supply for winter 2026-27
Locking in 2,500 tons of salt at $93.26/ton keeps winter streets cleared at a price under budget.
Closing Front Street during fireworks
Councilman McCarthy asked staff to study closing Front Street to cars on fireworks night, since crowds now line both sides of the street and speeding drivers create a danger. Staff will add it to a post-event review.
Print & Protect Child ID Grant
A grant will fund equipment to make ID cards for kids, including Safety Town participants with parental consent. The committee wants clarity on how children's data is stored before moving forward.
EMS Quality Assurance Consulting
The Fire Division may hire a consultant to improve EMS billing and the standard of care, on the recommendation of the Medical Director and neighboring cities.
Street Parking During Snow Emergencies
The City wants drivers off the streets during snowstorms so plows can clear parking lanes. A social media push worked, and formal Charter legislation is coming in March. Residents who park on the street should watch for the new rules.
Municipal Court prisoner transport van
The court's 2012 transport van has been breaking down repeatedly, so the city plans to spend about $75,000 on a replacement. The purchase goes to City Council next.
