North Perry Village Council is moving closer toward reappointing one of the community government’s administrators. Council, last week, heard the second reading of a resolution to extend the contract of Wally Siegel as the village’s public works superintendent. The resolution calls for North Perry to renew its pact with Siegel for a period of one year, beginning Jan. 1. He will receive an annual salary of $20,000, with no health insurance, the resolution stated. It’s anticipated that council will vote at its Dec. 5 meeting on the resolution, which is likely to be scheduled for a third and final reading. Siegel’s role as village public works superintendent is separate from a part-time position he simultaneously holds as North Perry’s zoning inspector. Council initially appointed Siegel as public works superintendent on April 4. He replaced Mike Cutler, who resigned on March 12. Siegel was chosen by council to become village zoning inspector in September of 2023. Cutler had served as public works superintendent for about 1 1/2 years before stepping down. He also had served for nine years on council before deciding not to seek re-election in 2019. During that same year, he ran for North Perry Village mayor and lost to incumbent Ed Klco in a three-person race. Siegel had worked for many years as full-time administrator in Perry Township, before retiring in 2017. North Perry Village Mayor Brian Titus spoke highly of Siegel after council selected him in April as public works superintendent. “Wally has a lot of experience in this arena and I believe he’ll be a good fit to continue with the goals we have going forward,” Titus said.
