During a recent government meeting, the City of Dayton celebrated community engagement through the announcement of the quarterly winners of the \"Name That Drain\" program, part of the Adopt A Storm Drain initiative. Theresa McGatty and Felicia Graham from the Department of Water presented the awards, highlighting the program's goal to encourage public participation in environmental stewardship.

The second quarter winners, selected from 109 entries, included Lori Zirkle, John Leach, and Rhonda Coach, each recognized for their creative contributions. Zirkle's entries included \"Midnight Drain to Georgia\" and \"Shania Drain,\" while Leach submitted \"Drain Drain Go Away,\" and Coach's entry was \"Purple Drain Purple Drain.\" Although not all winners were present to receive their awards, the city plans to contact them via email.

Participants in the Adopt A Storm Drain program commit to maintaining the area around their designated storm drains, helping to prevent litter from entering waterways. Currently, the program has 110 volunteers, and officials encouraged more community members to get involved by visiting adoptastormdrain.com.

Following the awards, Major Paul Sanders presented the 2023 Annual Surveillance Report, emphasizing the importance of using technology responsibly while protecting civil liberties and rights. He noted that there were two significant changes from the previous year, although specific details were not disclosed during the meeting. The report aims to ensure transparency in the use of surveillance technology by law enforcement.
