PERRYVILLE – The Perryville Board of Aldermen will meet in regular session Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the city hall council chambers, 215 North West Street, Perryville.
The meeting is open to the public.
Among the items on the agenda:
A public hearing on a request for special use permit for a tattoo business at 108. N. Jackson Street. Later in the agenda the matter is listed for a decision regarding the special use permit.
A five-year contract with Pepsi for the city’s soft drink vendor. City Administrator Brent Buerck says the Pepsi proposal was more attractive than the current vendor, Coca-Cola’s, proposal and staff recommends switching to Pepsi. City Administrator Brent Buerck noted that “although individual taste preferences for specific brands exist, our business model is agnostic as to who the provider is.”
Tourism Director Trish Erzfeld is seeking permission to use the city parking lot for a fishing boat show July 6, 2024. Buerck noted that Erzfeld continues to work hard to promote all things Perryville and Perry County and has been courting a fishing tournament that will soon be descending upon Perryville as part of our Cruise-In that weekend. It promises to be yet another fun event for the whole family and that evening’s entertainment will include a display of boats, trucks, and even some fish caught during the tournament.”
A change in name for one of two city streets currently using “McDonald’s” as part of their name – McDonald’s Drive and McDonald’s Court. Buerck noted “Currently, McDonald’s Court lacks any structure or address so a change now would have zero impact on existing businesses or residents. Staff would like to discuss the idea of renaming this street after something or someone more “unique” and “special” to Perryville as opposed to having two streets named after a McDonald’s restaurant, which can be found in nearly every town across this Country. To start the conversation, staff would propose something like, “St. Catherine Labouré Court” who was a nun in The Daughters of Charity and responsible for the Miraculous Medal.”
Tuesday’s meeting is open to the public.
