Law Director Conard explained that Mayor Page is recusing herself from Resolution Nos.
R24-108 and R24-109 as they are Collective Bargaining Agreements pertaining to the Police
Department. Mayor Page has a son who works in the Police Department and for that reason it

unduly influence any discussion or decision making of Council.

time the other departments would follow, which is exactly what happened.

A. PUBLIC COMMENTS: To comment on a topic not scheduled for a Public
Hearing, please fill out a Speaker Form and return it to the Clerk of Council
BEFORE the start of the meeting. When called upon, proceed to the microphone,
state your name and address, and proceed with your comments. You will have
three (3) minutes to speak.
Ms. JoAnne Orihood of 14 Oak Street reminded everyone that a year ago, the
City discussed communication and one takeaway was that residents wanted
more interaction with Council Members. Ms. Orihood announced that Mayor
Page and At-Large Council Member Rhonda Finley will be attending the next
meeting of the Olde Town Neighborhood Watch group, which covers two
Wards. She added that she connected with another neighborhood watch group
and they will also be attending the meeting. Ms. Orihood announced that the
meeting will take place on December 19th at 6:00 p.m. and that she placed
flyers on the table in the lobby. Ms. Orihood shared that after the scheduled
meeting, there will be informal discussions with Mayor Page and Council
Member Finley to hear about new things going on in Trotwood. Ms. Orihood
ended by encouraging anyone who doesn't have a neighborhood watch group
in their area to form one.
Mayor Page clarified that no more than three (3) Council Members may attend
so not to violate the Open Meetings Act.

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final December 2, 2024
C. City Manager
City Manager Pope discussed the paper manufacturing facility proposed in the
City of Dayton at the corner of Little Richmond Road and Olive Road, which is
surrounded by the City of Trotwood. City Manager Pope stated that the City is
opposed to the facility and shared his concerns with PFAS and other chemicals
contaminating the water the City of Trotwood buys from the City of Dayton,
noise and pollution, and also truck traffic. He explained that he issued a press
release advising of the upcoming public meetings. He also sent letters to the
Dayton Planning Commission, the mayor, and the city commissioners
discussing the importance of communication on matters of mutual interest. City
Manager Pope reiterated that he is not opposed to development, but it must be
the right kind of development.
Council Member Vaughn questioned if the development is asking for an
exception/exclusion from what is normally approved, because now they are
having a hearing to possibly approve the request, even though there has been
no change from their initial request and the initial reason the City of Dayton
said no. He added that there is a lot to be concerned about, both for the City of
Dayton and the City of Trotwood and he encouraged everyone to be heard.
Council Member Gales asked if the City of Trotwood would have any rights to
do anything, and added that she is very opposed. City Manager Pope stated
that his first priority is the health, safety, and welfare of Trotwood residents and
that he is working with the law office to take whatever steps are necessary, but
he is hoping better heads will prevail in this situation. He then asked everyone
to do their own research on paper mills. City Manager Pope added that he
found it interesting that although the City of Dayton previously filed a lawsuit
against Wright-Patterson Air Force Base over water contamination, they are
entertaining a paper mill, which is known to emit dangerous chemicals into
the air and water, and that the City of Trotwood also has residents whose
water is supplied by a well. He explained that normally these types of
businesses are in rural areas and not around homes. City Manager Pope stated
that this company has a packaging company in Hamilton, Ohio.
Council Member Moore asked for the dates and times of the meetings. City
Manager Pope stated that the community informational meeting is scheduled
for Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Dayton Metro Library on
Abbey Avenue; he added that this information is also on the City's website.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Tyler Hauck shared that the Planning
Commission's public hearing to consider lifting the ban on paper mills is
scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. and that their decision
will be a recommendation to the Dayton City Commission.

about the holidays, she wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.
Council Member Clark wished everyone a Merry Christmas and happy
holidays.
Council Member Vaughn shared his beliefs about Christmas and asked that we
support one another and come together to fight for freedom, liberty, and equal
justice for all.
E. Mayor
Mayor Page commented that this has been a wonderful year and that it doesn't
get any better than Trotwood. She added that her first year as mayor has been
very eye opening. She added that she came in to office with the attitude that
she simply wants to serve and that is still her desire.
Mayor Page asked everyone to be safe during the holidays and thanked all
those who have helped her along the way. She ended by stating that she is
excited to see everyone in 2025.
