Toby Wright serves as a member of the Perry City Council and a board member for the Perry City Redevelopment Agency. In his capacity as a council member, Wright participates in various legislative and administrative functions, including voting on city resolutions, ordinances, and budget amendments.
During a meeting held on August 14, 2025, Wright was present as a council member alongside Mayor Kevin Jeppsen, Council Member Dave Walker, and Council Member Tueller, who attended online. During this session, Wright seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2025-14, which addressed the city's Water Conservation Plan. Wright also participated in discussions regarding Resolution 2025-17, an interlocal agreement with Brigham City. This agreement establishes Brigham City as the primary provider of inspection services for Perry City, a move that includes a contract rate based on a percentage of wages and benefits required for the review of hours from the previous inspector. During the discussion, Wright inquired about the budget allocation for these inspection services, noting that approximately $70,000 had been allocated in the community development budget. After confirmation from the City Recorder/Finance Director that the budget was built based on negotiations with Brigham City, Wright made a motion to approve the interlocal agreement.
Wright's legislative duties also include the review of fiscal matters. On May 11, 2023, Wright made a motion to approve Resolution 2023-13, which was a budget amendment for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. This specific amendment addressed the purchase of garbage cans from Econo Waste, noting that the final bill of $91,620 was higher than the original $60,000 request because recycle cans were not part of the initial budget request. On August 24, 2023, Wright made a motion to approve Ordinance 23-J, an amendment to the consolidated fee schedule to include towing fees. This ordinance was required by the Utah State Attorney General to ensure the city could collect and remit the specific tow fee.
In addition to his council duties, Wright serves as a board member for the Perry City Redevelopment Agency (RDA). During an RDA meeting on May 14, 2026, Wright was present alongside other board members to discuss the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget. This budget involves revenues drawn from tax increments generated within the Point Perry Community Development Area (CDA), such as projected sales tax increments of $167,975. The board engaged in discussions regarding the long-term direction of the RDA, including whether the agency could be dissolved, kept active, or allowed to become dormant after its term expires.
In a meeting held on October 26, 2023, Wright was among the council members present for the discussion of a new City Hall art proposal and various budget amendments. During that session, the council voted on the reappointment of Marcus Wager to the Planning Commission, with Wright voting in favor of the motion. These various roles and votes demonstrate Wright's involvement in the ongoing governance and financial planning of the community.
What this means for Brigham City
For the residents of Brigham City, Wright's work is most visible through the interlocal agreement that utilizes Brigham City's inspection services. This partnership ensures that Perry City can maintain its infrastructure and development standards through professional oversight provided by the neighboring city's staff and resources.
