Perry City wishes You and Yours a Happy and Safe Holiday!

*Dog License Renewals are due prior to January 31st, 2017. The dog clinic will be held at Canyon View Clinic on Sat. January 14th, from 9am-12pm* 

From the Perry City website:

Perry City office would like to remind everyone Dog License Renewals are due prior to January 31st, 2017. The dog clinic will be held at Canyon View Clinic on Sat. January 14th, from 9am-12pm.

Business License Renewals: Business owners will be receiving their business license renewal forms soon in the mail. Renewal is due prior to January 31st, 2017.

Police Dept. reminds you to watch for deer on Hwy-89. Please prevent dogs and other animals from roaming at large. If there are any dogs on the loose, or any dead or injured animals, please call County Dispatch (435-734-3800).

Landowners are responsible to keep sidewalks adjacent to their property accessible and cleared of debris, vegetation, and snow, in order to be compliant with Perry City ordinances and reduce their personal liability.   Because snowplows need the space for snow removal, vehicles and trailers are not allowed to be parked on public streets within 48 hours immediately following any snowfall.

Safety Reminder: During the holidays, LOCK your houses. Keep your garage doors down and locked. Do not leave valuables or monies n your cars.

Don’t Drive Distracted…  Although it is a busy time of year, please do not try to multitask while driving, i.e.  text or operate electronic devices, apply make-up, eat dinner, turn around and talk with backseat passengers, etc.  Also, there are many holiday parties during the season, please do not drink and drive—make sure to have a designated driver. Drive with caution by slowing down on snowy and icy roads.  Each of these things will help to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the roads. Help to make sure people are able to safely return to their families and homes to enjoy the holidays. Be Vigilant at Home in Your Neighborhoods…  Unfortunately, at this time of year, there traditionally an increase of thefts.  In order to protect our homes and neighborhoods, keep a porch light on during nighttime hours.  If you are expecting a package try to be home when it is delivered, ask a neighbor to watch for its delivery and pick it up for you, invest in a cost-effective surveillance system, or remove packages from the porch as soon as you return home.  Lock your doors and close your garage doors when possible. When you are not going to be home for an extended period of time, use timers to have lights turn on and off in your home and have a neighbor gather your mail. Call the police as soon as possible to report suspicious activity. Call your friends and neighbors from time to time to check on them. This will not only help to create a system of safety within our neighborhoods, but it will also strengthen friendships. Let’s send a loud message that we protect our own and do our part to keep criminals out of our City.

Perry City has been recognized as one of Utah's safest cities

There’s more to Utah than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the greatest snow on earth. The Beehive State is home to five national parks, the Sundance Film Festival, and the world’s only ski-in distillery. The wholesome, family-centered values that Utah is known for are exemplified in our 20 safest cities.

Fifteen of Utah’s 20 safest cities are appearing on our list for the third time, and Smithfield remains in the number one spot for the second consecutive year. Over half of the 20 safest cities reported 10 or fewer violent crimes, and 17 cities had zero incidents of murder during the most recent FBI reporting period.

When it comes to property crime, these cities are equally impressive — especially when populations range from 4,500 to more than 55,000. Nine cities reported fewer than 100 total property crimes, and 90% had under 40 reported burglaries.

 

Utah’s safest cities range from the top to the bottom of the state, so you won’t be far from a safety-conscious community no matter where you call home.
