The Perry City Council convened Monday evening in regular session.

The meeting began with open forum, during which Brian Peterson with the Greater Dallas County Development Alliance gave an annual report. There was also a presentation on the Dallas County Local Housing Trust Fund from Board members Matt McDevitt and Christine Gordon, as well as Dallas County Habitat for Humanity Coordinator Omar Padilla. After the presentation, the Council approved a resolution for a per capita contribution to the housing trust fund in the amount of $8,086.
