# Dayton City Commission Work Session 11-4-26

Dayton City Commission work session, November 4, 2026: City staff presented third-quarter financial updates through September for the general fund, aviation, and water and sanitary sewer funds. The general fund had a $13.6 million year-to-date excess of uses over sources, with personnel costs up $7.3 million year over year and contracts, materials, and other uses up $2.2 million. Aviation reported a $1.1 million deficit, citing higher utility and personnel costs, among other factors. No motions or votes were reported.

Procurement and project updates included the Dayton recovery plan: $94.8 million in contracts had been awarded from approximately $102 million in funds, and $82.3 million had been spent. Staff reported 19 external projects complete and six expected to finish within weeks. The $587,200 Fairview pool-house demolition had been bid three times; the lowest bid was under review by Public Works and HRC, with demolition targeted for May 2027. A $1 million allocation for the Longfellow Midtown/United Church Homes project remained in planning. The MBE compliance software tool was on hold pending review of whether new technology can meet the relevant requirements. Aviation staff also described investment in common-use airport terminals and installation-related costs, but no award or vendor was identified. No procurement-related action was taken by the commission.
