Dayton City Commission Meeting 4-22-26

The Dayton City Commission held a meeting on April 22, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and contract approvals. Key procurement actions included the approval of a three-year, $600,000 contract with Entree Consulting Services to support the implementation of the city's ERP system, funded by the general fund and prior investment funds. The commission also approved a service agreement with John R. Jurgensson Company for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) asphalt resurfacing program covering multiple neighborhoods. Additionally, the commission passed an emergency resolution objecting to the issuance of a liquor permit for Reserve on Third LLC, with ongoing efforts to negotiate a good neighbor agreement. Another emergency resolution was adopted placing a 180-day moratorium on processing permits for data centers within the city. The meeting also featured presentations on community engagement initiatives, including the Dayton Citizens Assembly, and the appointment of a new police chief was discussed with some debate over the transparency of the selection process. The commission voted unanimously to adopt the city manager's calendar recommendations and the emergency resolutions related to liquor permits and zoning moratoriums. No new ordinances or capital improvement projects beyond those mentioned were approved during this session.
