Citizen Patrol Volunteers Needed - The Perry City Police Department is committed to using volunteers to enhance the delivery of police service to the citizens of our fine city. Perry PD is seeking volunteers, who are dedicated and passionate about public safety in Perry City. The Perry City Police Department is proactively engaged in reducing crime in our neighborhoods and business districts. The Citizen Patrol program was created to bring the citizens and police officers together, to reduce and prevent crime. The Citizen Patrol program is designed to provide opportunities to form patrol groups and to watch over our community. Volunteers are additional eyes and ears for the police department. Together with our Citizen Patrol Volunteers, we will continue improving the safety of our fine city.

PERRY C.E.R.T. “SHAKE OUT” APRIL 18TH. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills. One of the public services that Perry City CERT is coordinating this year is another “Shake Out” emergency simulation exercise. All residents, businesses, and schools in Perry are thus encouraged to participate in a simulated earthquake, which will take place at 10:15 AM on Thursday April 18th.
You can participate in three ways on this day:
1. Turn on your local radio or TV station for emergency news.
2. At 10:15 AM, “Drop, Cover, and Hold on” in your home or office, as instructed on “Shake Out” websites.
3. After 10:15 AM (or before you leave for work, but before 12 Noon), put your “green card” or other “colored card” in your front door or window (so that anyone in front of your house can see it) as we have done in recent years. These cards have been distributed as part of “Rapid Assessment Packets” in recent years. CERT members will canvas their neighborhoods and take a count of the colored assessment cards they see displayed in windows of each house they see. At 6:30 p.m. CERT members will then radio to CERT IC what cards they have found. We encourage all Perry residents to participate. If you do not have these colored cards (red, yellow, or green) please pick them up at Perry City Offices, or you may put up your own colored paper.
BURN PERMITS - Before you burn your spring trimmings, you must first obtain a burn permit. There is no cost. Permits are issued by Brigham City and can be obtained by going online thru Perry City’s web page Under Frequently requested, there is a link for open burning permits. Permits will be available on days with good air quality, and fires must be put out by dark. Open burn goes from March 1st to May 31st.
The Gun Range will be opening May 4th at 9:00 a.m. They may possibly have some weekends in April that they will be open as well. Please check the website at www.perrycity.org and click on the Gun Range icon for the most up to date information.
Green Waste Update - Perry City will no longer be operating a Green Waste Facility. It is no longer economically feasible and there are environmental issues related to the burning or disposal of the green waste. The City is currently in conversations with Brigham City for a possible agreement to use their green waste facility. In the meantime, Perry residents can take their green waste to the Brigham City facility for $7 per load, or residents can utilize their garbage receptacles for green waste and get an additional garbage can if needed for the price of $10 per month.
Another option is to use the newly implemented Perry Resident Landfill Vouchers to dispose of green waste or other waste you may have. Each household is entitled to one voucher per year, which allows free use of the Box Elder County landfill (limited to one truckload, all loads must be covered). This program was developed to replace the City Spring cleanup. You can access your free voucher on the city website or at:
https://app.civicreview.com/application
It takes 1-2 business days for the voucher to be approved.
We will publish any updates in regards to green waste as they become available.
We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will understand the City's efforts to protect the environment and ensure responsible spending. We also hope you will take advantage of one of the above listed options as a solution to your waste disposal needs.
ATTENTION
The City Council has approved a change regarding charges on late payments for utility billing.
-Utility bills that are 30 days past due will now have a $10.00 late fee applied.
