Resident concerns
- Nessa Chin (who gave her address) said she objects to requiring speakers to say their address out loud on the record and listed local traffic complaints, including a one-way configuration on Main Street that she said is creating heavy congestion.
- Multiple residents criticized the placement of temporary speed cushions on Gettysburg Avenue, saying they are spaced too closely and increase fuel use and wear for compliant drivers; one resident urged longer spacing so speed cushions better serve to reduce high-speed incidents.
- Kevin Keller said speeding on East Third Street is dangerous, described recent collisions near his home and suggested mobile speed cameras or other traffic-calming measures.

Commission and staff responses
Commissioners and staff described the Gettysburg speed cushions as temporary; commissioners said those measures were requested by community members to reduce high-rate speeding and that a longer-term street renovation contract is planned for the corridor. Commissioners indicated that Main Street reconfiguration work is intended to improve walkability and calm traffic; city staff agreed to follow up with residents on whether the one-lane condition is temporary or permanent.

Grant announcement
Commissioner Shaw announced that the city received a U.S. Department of Transportation Reconnecting Communities grant for the Revive 35 planning project. Shaw credited city staff and the city manager’s office for pursuing grants that support transportation and infrastructure planning.

Ending: Commissioners asked staff to follow up with commenters about mobile camera deployment and long-term street redesign plans and encouraged residents to report specific locations and times when speeding or unsafe driving occurs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dayton City Commission Meeting 1-15-25","oneSentenceSummary","Residents complained about temporary speed cushions on Gettysburg and a Main Street lane change; Commissioner Shaw announced a Department of Transportation Reconnecting Communities grant for the Revive 35 planning project.","taxTitle","Dayton City Council, Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",68964,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6381206,"City highlights $100,000 consultant agreement to support demolition pipeline asbestos surveys",28,285000,313000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2128925-b5edc7e92547efda6bcae9fcec0bad3b&start=285&end=313","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2128925-b5edc7e92547efda6bcae9fcec0bad3b/thumbnail_285000.jpg","/articles/6381206/Ohio/City-highlights-100000-consultant-agreement-to-support-demolition-pipeline-asbestos-surveys","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6381206-84a2093b652baa273dc00e09a1567af8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148516&Signature=k-zJuPE34tB8vBaasyKp25NZ8-V3XV2tDuyLOL8Mr78FVMWu3~4PCcoy99VvsFH~3sI6nduEX-SHXjOHsz5Z9-SZxiKUfWDaHrHMuSTnVLMK6ojoNQVau43VceaCT060mCIGJfWTFxKDP7qVgaigQoPQnYuDG0JTqCmAkEMpTvZhuwGUWxRkIuMj~U2GmDqJMnu~3HxAbiRamnnBC8ekEFLTMOBkv~PI5bermofTR1dFgYXflLjvxceIfQPUXPGObPaOeRs3whS2~0jA8SHestmFERct8QRo1Yo9RuRe7p4AMnDIQ-KZJOXUBMgW6e8fDJfsK8EdCDX8k5dq8TcFFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Dayton City Commission on Jan. 15 that calendar item 3 is a consultant services agreement with Turnkey Environmental Consultants for $100,000 to continue residential asbestos surveying and post-abatement verification for the city’s demolition pipeline.

Why it matters: The asbestos surveys and post-abatement verification are part of the environmental safety and compliance work required before demolition of structures that the city has identified for removal. City staff said the work supports demolition of nearly 1,100 structures that are in the pipeline.

Details from the meeting
The city manager flagged the item during the calendar review and described the agreement as important to “continue to support the demolition pipeline with residential asbestos survey and post abatement verification.” The commission approved senior management recommendations for the evening’s calendar, which included proceeding with items such as this consultant agreement; the formal contracting process and any required procurement steps were described as matters for follow-up by procurement and legal staff.

Clarifying details recorded at the meeting
- Agreement amount stated: $100,000.
- Purpose: residential asbestos surveys and post-abatement verification tied to demolition work.
- Scope context: city staff referenced “nearly 1,100 structures” in the demolition pipeline; staff framed the work as part of ongoing demolition operations.

Implementation and next steps
Commissioners approved the senior management recommendations that included the consultant-services calendar item; staff said procurement and contracting steps would follow as required by city procedures before final contract execution.

Ending: The commission did not vote separately on a final contract at this meeting; staff will proceed with procurement and report back as required by city rules.","At the Jan. 15 meeting the city manager highlighted a $100,000 consultant services agreement with Turnkey Environmental Consultants to continue residential asbestos surveys and post-abatement verification tied to the city's demolition pipeline of nearly 1,100 structures.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6381211,"Dayton activates Tier 1 cold-weather response; officials say shelter capacity available",0,1543000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2128925-b5edc7e92547efda6bcae9fcec0bad3b&start=1543&end=1543","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2128925-b5edc7e92547efda6bcae9fcec0bad3b/thumbnail_1543000.jpg","/articles/6381211/Ohio/Dayton-activates-Tier-1-cold-weather-response-officials-say-shelter-capacity-available","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6381211-15b850267296f1593a1880e95b7fc540/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148516&Signature=AXldQHjddP0edUF76AAz8uJsZwcq2YIvLzzarMSiWpT~Dn0mQVq0TSC-AliB5cLuMe5KHCe6i6SIHCxicvsVzJgYcbq3OSI43r3CjYi~6hu34x7GbUbgK9dduROeOvLbrd5YMdBSi1YX7-cusxdbvVGagKO1ksjaWp4OLWqt-SAVjqC3~hLCZy8PfWxm4rCWIM53dxpOhr-KrL00xmlCDq7fjxEynWylo8YX-mpB~X6VLWQPcGCTZLYHwrrPjnd2QBTF8tl3LWbA4hqFvycUHvZZhDyMro4Yw27pRkpYXzb-knZPlO7aaHDO8QbyQJRjUtZvmkHJw-EagCB6uNKLWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dayton City Commission heard city staff say the city’s cold-weather response plan was active at Tier 1 on Jan. 15, with recreation centers open as daytime warming centers and overnight shelters reporting available capacity.

City manager comments to the commission said the women's and children's shelter has a capacity of 358 and had fewer than 199 people in it last week; the Gettysburg men's shelter has a capacity of 422 and had 250 people. City staff said Tier 1 guidance encourages people needing assistance to seek shelter with friends or relatives and makes daytime warming at rec centers available; higher tiers would trigger nighttime warming options when shelter capacity is exceeded or in the case of significant service disruptions such as power outages.

Why it matters: Forecasts of sustained frigid temperatures make shelter access and outreach to unhoused residents an immediate public-safety concern. Several residents at the meeting urged expanded, 24/7 access to sheltering and more proactive outreach to people living outside.

Public comments and staff response
- Alexandra Williams, a resident who identified herself at the meeting, said she expected shelters to be available 24 hours during extreme cold and urged the commission to ensure access for the unhoused.
- Valerie Duncan and other residents described snow- and curb-related parking issues that can complicate shelter and emergency access and asked the city to review street-plow efforts on residential blocks.

Commission and staff detail
City staff told the commission their outreach team and regional partners monitor sheltering and that outreach workers are the primary non-coercive mechanism for encouraging people to move to safer spaces. The city manager noted that the shelters were operating below full winter capacity and that the city will monitor conditions; staff said the city opens nighttime warming when shelter capacity is exceeded or when there are severe disruptions (for example, extended power outages) or extreme temperatures (below about 10 degrees Fahrenheit).

Commissioners said they will continue to coordinate with outreach providers, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and Dayton police on outreach and referrals, and they asked staff to follow up with public commenters about options for temporary warming locations and rec center availability.

Ending: City staff urged residents to use available warming centers and shelter options and said they would report updates to the commission as conditions change.","City officials said Jan. 15 that Dayton is in Tier 1 of its cold-weather response plan and that daytime warming centers and overnight shelters had available capacity; residents urged expanded shelter access during frigid temperatures.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6381216,"Dayton commission meets Jan. 15; approves routine items, hears public on shelters, traffic and demolition work",1297,358000,1655000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2128925-b5edc7e92547efda6bcae9fcec0bad3b&start=358&end=1655","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2128925-b5edc7e92547efda6bcae9fcec0bad3b/thumbnail_358000.jpg","/articles/6381216/Ohio/Dayton-commission-meets-Jan-15-approves-routine-items-hears-public-on-shelters-traffic-and-demolition-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6381216-e8e5c8c25cc544a6b8055d49de891c38/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148516&Signature=RyYCTmwb24BWgMnZtgWVVJDfViX6pzfdtqOaxk3pJNXp4OagDg9U--mjVoOyV3Oc2ZvGMwyvGwcleP4BKHkq7ZwkpcME0bFj~oy1RaKtMOdCNsLj8xry~A4TI30ViBrPsOPYm4hfL92Hzl5iT02WLUKCdhs65ryI-KubA82-xvli43OZk6rqq0jJ1fBrdejvovx-gWzkbf1fWJ0V2zQ5Kf7cr2IZAiOKMst3gQLeyf52mDikAia9QU3ZSmMk00SNR3QKjZF0efJWNRnpN4oSkitPmYA~DHD6j~5SrSI5zEHOwV-dlQPK6AI3zKmpQ~I3q8fpQROIvqIw-JJ8z5OzAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dayton City Commission met Jan. 15 and approved several routine motions, heard public comments on winter sheltering and local traffic changes, and conducted a first reading of an ordinance to vacate an alley adjacent to the Dayton Kettering connector.

Why it matters: The commission’s business included both immediate public-safety and quality-of-life matters — cold-weather sheltering and street safety — and ongoing property work such as demolition and asbestos surveys tied to the city’s housing-removal pipeline.

The commission voted to excuse Commissioner Joseph from the evening’s meeting and approved the minutes of the Jan. 8 meeting. Commissioners also approved senior management recommendations on calendar items, which included a consultant services agreement tied to the city’s demolition pipeline (item 3). The commission took no final vote on ordinance 32138-25, a first reading to vacate an alley east of the Dayton Kettering connector.

Public comment at the meeting covered a range of neighborhood concerns: requests to expand sheltering and warming options for unhoused residents during extreme cold, complaints about temporary speed cushions on Gettysburg Avenue and lane changes on North Main Street, concerns about snow removal on residential streets and requests for more youth programming and amenities. Several residents urged changes to shelter availability during very low temperatures; one speaker urged 24/7 access.

Commissioners and city staff provided several operational updates: the city’s cold-weather response plan was active at Tier 1, where rec centers are open as daytime warming centers and shelters reported available capacity; the city is pursuing longer-term traffic calming and street renovation projects and has mobile speed enforcement options; and staff are continuing demolition pipeline work that includes asbestos surveys and post-abatement verification.

Votes at a glance
- Motion to excuse Commissioner Joseph from the Jan. 15 meeting: moved and seconded; outcome: approved (ayes recorded).
- Motion to approve minutes of the Jan. 8, 2025 meeting: moved and seconded; outcome: approved (ayes recorded).

Next steps: Several items will return for additional action. The demolition/contract work discussed as calendar item 3 moves forward under the approved management recommendations and will appear on future agendas for formal contract actions if required. The commission and staff said they will continue outreach on shelter availability and street projects and follow up with commenters on specifics such as parking and park rental fees.
