Visitors - Mr. Ronald Koester, 7849 Post Town Rd - explain the procedures
road cut repairs done by the cable contractor on Trotwood Blvd & Union Rd.
Why was the area cold patched, is this the standard? Interim City Manager
said we are aware of this issue. Public Works Director Eric Baxter reported any
cut in the road requires a permit from their office that outlines contractors
procedures. The asphalt companies are now closed for the season, therefore,
the alternative would be to repair using the cold patch.
Mrs. Wanda Page, 601 Chandler Dr. - Congratulations to all the new elected
officials tonight. Her concern is the high water bill. Why can't we pay what city
of Dayton pays? Mayor McDonald stated we will address this question at a
upcoming Town Hall meeting with a presentation.

duration of this loan and will retire the $2,040,000 various purpose notes
