Report from Dayton City Council

 


DAYTON—At the regular meeting of the Dayton City Council on July 11, the council approved the following:

Resolution No. 1345, Certifying that the city meets the requirements to apply and accept a public works assistance account low-interest loan for wastewater treatment facility land acquisition for up to $1 million.

Repayment of the loan will be built into the rate structure, which could be spread over as little as five years, or up to 20 years, said City Administrator Trina Cole. Cole said that if no land is found for the treatment plant the contract will not be executed.

A reimbursement agreement between Seneca Corp. and the City of Dayton for improvements on City of Dayton public right of Way, Located within E. Patit Ave., and N. 6th Street.

Dayton Mayor Craig George said Seneca will have about $100,000 invested in the project. Construction will take place in conjunction with FEMA street repairs, he said.


The council approved an application to the build program for the S. Fourth St. full reconstruction.

Action to authorize consultant services agreement with ORB Architects to perform the Dayton Swimming Pool Facility Condition Assessment was tabled until August.

Cole said RFPs for a consultant to examine the infrastructure at the city pool went out on May 20. Six responses were received, which have been ranked. A scope of services is being reviewed by the committee, and responses were to be received by her office on July 16.

Cole said a representative from the state Department of Archives has looked into getting the city’s minutes and ordinances, from the late 1800s on, scanned, digitized and uploaded onto its website, which will make public record searches easier. Cole will be applying for that process before the end of the month.


Public Works Director Jim Costello said a painting crew will be painting concrete on Main Street in a couple of weeks. Patching will continue on city streets from the school going toward the hospital, and also targeting W. Dayton Ave., Richmond Ave. and Cottonwood St.

Work will begin on Washington St., close to Seneca Foods, Inc., in the middle of August.

Special guest Doug Johnson appeared before the council to request the city address a poor job of landscaping that was done in front of his house on S. First St., after street repairs were done. Council member Dain Nysoe said he looked at the situation and agreed with Johnson. Mayor Craig George said the situation would be corrected.


The Public Safety committee received an observation from a citizen that there is no ADA compliant parking on Main Street, and Mayor George said that city will look into that, as well.

All Wheels Weekend was a success, and thanks go out to the city crew and event chair Bette Lou Crothers, said Mayor George.
