ROLL CALL Roll call was taken, and Mayor Mims, Commissioners Joseph, Shaw, Fairchild, and Turner- Sloss were present. The Clerk of Commission, Ms. Regina Blackshear, and the City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, were also present. INVOCATION Commissioner Shaw gave the invocation. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Mims led the public in the Pledge of Allegiance. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Shaw made a motion to approve the minutes from the December 13, 2023, meeting. Commissioner Fairchild seconded the motion. The previous meeting minutes were unanimously approved. COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS There were no communications or petitions. SPECIAL AWARDS/PRESENTATIONS There were no special awards or presentations. ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE CALENDAR The Clerk of Commission, Ms. Regina Blackshear, requested the addition of Informal Resolution No. 1008-23-Expressing Sympathy for the Ongoing Human Suffering Caused by the Current Conflict in the Middle East; Condemning Violence Against Civilians of any Kind; Affirming Dayton’s Status as a Welcoming Community for Those of the Jewish and Islamic Religions, and Any other Religion; Calling for a Cease-Fire and a Swift End to the War, and Encouraging Dayton Residents to Offer Support and Sincere Condolences to Members of Our Community Affected by the Ongoing Violence and Loss of Life. Mayor Mims thanked Commissioner Fairchild and Joseph for their work on the resolution. He thanked other individuals who had input into the resolution and said they tried to find the best way to express the sentiment of 140000 people in the City of Dayton without offending anyone. He said they don’t have the power to bring the conflict to an end but, expressing their feelings and thoughts was very important. DISCUSSION OF CALENDAR ITEMS Calendar Item No. 4. Axon Enterprise Inc. – Service Agreement The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, said there was an RFI but Axon was selected because they offered all the requested features. Calendar Item No. 6. Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce – Service Agreement The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, said the agreement will help market and grow air service. Calendar Item No. 7. Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce-Service Agreement The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, said the agreement is for managing the business travel center at the airport on behalf of the City of Dayton. Calendar Item No. 10. Flock Group Inc. – Service Agreement The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, said the agreement will provide hardware software installation and maintenance of 35 fixed Automotive License Plate Readers (ALPR) and continued maintenance of 30 s previously installed cameras. She invited Mr. Joe Parlette to the podium for clarification. Mr. Parlette said ALPRs were introduced in Dayton in 2008. The proposed expansion in 2022 precipitated a public hearing according to the Surveillance Technology Ordinance. He said the deployment of surveillance technology in Dayton is governed by law and stringent policies, ensuring transparency, and enabling community trust. Mr. Parlette said the ALPRs have been vetted through a process that the community helped build. Discussion about the technology has been robust and transparent. Mr. Parlette said the Dayton Police Department sought to create Safety Plans with all neighborhoods, and many would include a request for ALPRs. He said the proposed use of these cameras is consistent with and not contrary to the purpose, scope, scale, or manner provided in the use policy or the Surveillance Impact Report. He said that since the approval of the technology, two new Safety Plans (Belmont and Historic Huffman) have been created that include requests for ALPRs. Mr. Parlette said the experience with ALPRs is a story of responsible technology use, community collaboration, and enhanced public safety. Mr. Parlette said considering community feedback, the DPD has amended the FLOCK contract relative to sharing data. He said current language restricts sharing to other law enforcement agencies and if requested via a legal process, or in an emergency. He said the Dayton Police Department has asked its policy committee to review and consider changes to the Use Policy that will increase oversight of the “Hit List” by ensuring that a supervisor monitors it. Mr. Parlette said this agreement will cost $825,750 over a five-year period, which provides financial predictability and known budgetary needs. He said the first year is completely covered by grant funding and if approved, the FLOCK agreement will add 35 units (Belmont, Historic Huffman, and Downtown) and maintain the 37 that have already been deployed. Calendar Item No. 13. Learn to Earn Dayton – Service Agreement The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, said the agreement will provide project support for developing a City of Dayton Youth Master Plan. She invited Ms. Erica Fields, Director of Placed Based Strategy, Learn to Earn Dayton, to the podium for a community update. Ms. Fields said Learn to Earn Dayton is a cradle-to-career organization that serves as an intermediary organization that looks at collective impact and addresses issues around racial equity and economic mobility. Ms. Fields said they partnered with the City of Dayton on an initiative in Northwest Dayton for a comprehensive two-year engagement that involved extensive canvassing, strategic planning, and workgroup sessions to hear the voices of residents. She said it was a plan called The Power of Resident and in 2024 they are looking to replicate the plan with a young student population. She said they wanted to look at the way that government and school systems serve the needs of young people. Commissioner Turner-Sloss asked about the metrics and outcomes of the study. Ms. Fields said they will put together a data dashboard that will look at the progress as they are implementing the plan. She said Learn to Earn will serve as a data clearing house for youth well-being. Commissioner Fairchild asked about the deliverables for the three-year contract. Ms. Fields said the deliverables for the contract will be the plan and the data dashboard. Commissioner Fairchild asked if the Cities plan would be modeled after the New Orleans plan. Ms. Fields said they traveled to New Orleans and had a conversation with the people who implemented the plan, and they are replicating their best practices. Commissioner Fairchild said New Orleans uses two prongs creating the youth voice and having their input prioritized and the second was working with the experts. He asked will they use those prongs as well. Ms. Fields said yes they will be working on parallel tracks that don’t take away from the voice of the youth and the priorities will be completely youth-led but they will have the advice of experts as well. Commissioner Fairchild asked if they were in conversation with Montgomery County. Ms. Fields said they are not yet in conversations with Montgomery County, but they should be. She said this endeavor will take a collective approach. Mayor Mims thanked Learn to Earn Dayton for their long-term commitment and said their results are starting to show. Calendar Item No. 20.
