against the proposal, said
that he agreed that the sal
ary for the mayor’s post
needed to be increased, but
was not in agreement with
the council increases, which
he thought were too high.
Councilman Bobby Glover
said, “I think the council
works as hard as the mayor
does,” and Councilman Riley
Hunt pointed out that he had
three meetings that week.
Part of the rationale for
higher salaries is the rapid
growth of Perry’s popula
tion and the build-up of both
residential and commercial
properties, which currently
are the focus of many coun
cil meetings and committee
meetings.
In other business, the
council:
• approved a plan, as
requested by the Houston
County Board of Elections, to
have all three precincts that
fall within he city’s bound
aries voting at the Rozar
Park recreational building.
This would mean an end to
the use of Morningside and
Perry Primary Schools as
voting sites. The Houston
County Board of Education
is working with the Board of
Elections currently with the
goal of getting voting places
out of the schools for secu
rity reasons. Council mem

the grocery store would be
larger than the Publix now
