DISCUSSION OF CALENDAR ITEMS Calendar Item No. 11. Bladecutter’s Lawn Service Inc. – Award of Contract The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, said the contract is part of the Dayton Recovery Plan and the work will take place in the spring of 2024. Calendar Item No. 4. County Corp – Service Agreement The City Manager, Ms. Shelley Dickstein, invited Mr. Tony Kroeger, Division Manager, Planning, Neighborhoods, and Development, for a community update. Mr. Kroeger said the Dayton Recovery Plan was adopted in 2021 to improve housing conditions to provide new housing, rehab, and repair properties. He said the City Comprehensive Plan, Dayton Forward was adopted in January 2023, and it recommends the program. Mr. Kroeger said the Dayton Housing policy which was adopted in November 2023 makes housing investments that improve comp sales in neighborhoods to help existing homeowners achieve more equity, pairs code enforcement with support programs to assist homeowners in making repairs and provides home improvement loans (grant) programs with no income restrictions. Mr. Kroeger said the program vision is to fund improvements to owner-occupied homes to support homeowners, preserve existing housing, improve health and safety, and increase neighborhood stability. Mr. Kroeger said that County Corp will operate the program and they were selected through a competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity. He said homeowners must be current on taxes or a payment plan. He said the type of improvements envisions are paint, siding, gutters, roofing, windows, sidewalks, and landscaping. He said if approved, interior work such as plumbing, electrical, structural, and emergency safety. Mr. Kroeger said all improvements will occur in Qualified Census Tracts, with a priority in those areas set forth as target neighborhoods in the Dayton Recovery Plan. He said generally, there will be a maximum of $25,000 per property. Mr. Kroeger said the project has a 25 percent MBE aspirational goal and County Corp will competitively seek contractors in compliance with ARPA regulations. He said there will be engagement with target neighborhoods; however, potential properties will also come from the current waitlist and housing enforcement. Mr. Kroeger said the next steps are engagement in priority areas, property prioritization and outreach, contractor procurement, and assessment of properties. Commissioner Turner-Sloss said she was excited about the program and asked if the program was for a low-interest loan. She also asked about the timeline of a targeted selection. Mr. Kroeger said it was not a loan but a grant. He said the selection should take place in February 2024. Commissioner Shaw asked about Westwood and Residence Park and how the target areas were selected. Mr. Kroeger said the areas were determined early in the Dayton Recovery process as being particularly catalytic which was part of an extensive analysis of impactful areas. Commissioner Joseph thanked Mr. Kroeger and the staff for this endeavor. He said when he was walking neighborhoods there was a great need and he is glad the need is being met. Mayor Mims thanked him for his work. Savannah Shediack Day Ms. Dickstein invited Chief Kamran Afzal, Dayton Police Department, to the podium for a presentation. Chief Afzal said he would like to recognize Ms. Savannah Shediack for her life-saving actions on October 5, 2023. He said on that date a training exercise was taking place and one of the cruisers was struck by a truck and a recruit was hurt suffering serious head injuries. Ms. Shediack who is a nurse, stopped and began rendering life-saving measures. He said because of her quick actions she saved his life. Mayor Mims thanked her for her quick actions. The Clerk of Commission read a proclamation from Mayor Mims. REPORTS 1.
