Dayton City Commission Work Session 4-1-26

The Dayton City Commission Work Session held on April 1, 2026, focused primarily on presenting and discussing the results of the 2025 annual Dayton resident survey. City officials reviewed detailed findings on resident satisfaction across various city services including public safety, waste collection, housing affordability, neighborhood conditions, and infrastructure such as water quality and streets. The survey, conducted in partnership with ETC Institute, achieved a statistically significant response rate and highlighted key areas of resident concern such as crime, housing affordability, and economic development. While no direct procurement or contracting decisions were discussed, the survey results provide critical data that will inform future budget planning, service delivery improvements, and capital projects. The session emphasized ongoing monitoring of trends in resident satisfaction to guide city management and resource allocation.
