The item was introduced by staff as an emergency resolution that will give the city additional time to complete an engagement process with stakeholders and to incorporate recommendations from outside legal counsel. A staff speaker said the city is holding both local and regional conversations as part of that work.

Commissioners moved and seconded immediate passage of the emergency resolution and recorded unanimous ayes on the vote. The clerk read the emergency-resolution language into the record before the roll call.

City staff described the extension as temporary and tied to the completion of the stakeholder process; the resolution authorizes a pause of up to 180 days to allow the city time to finish outreach and legal review before resuming the processing of new group‑home applications.

Ending: Staff said the extended moratorium will allow staff to finish stakeholder engagement and regional discussions and to bring a recommendation back to the commission after that work is complete.","The Dayton City Commission voted unanimously on Jan. 29 to adopt emergency resolution 6846-25, which pauses acceptance and processing of applications for residential facilities (group homes) for up to 180 days while the city completes stakeholder engagement and outside counsel review.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6357829,"Clergy coalition files initiative petition for public hospital in West Dayton; hearing set for Feb. 5",58,108000,166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2213690-4a0aa1c93a5c662e1379d71dc0219ab7&start=108&end=166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2213690-4a0aa1c93a5c662e1379d71dc0219ab7/thumbnail_108000.jpg","/articles/6357829/Ohio/Clergy-coalition-files-initiative-petition-for-public-hospital-in-West-Dayton-hearing-set-for-Feb-5","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6357829-9feb14fca385b3e6dd1c5b97ea1daeb0/orig.mp4?Expires=1776048014&Signature=i0p6cqK~mSlcAz03tSLVOqxlWXyeit3P5P7E~vRZaYxiEWag42qpLE5I3qq1gPNC15RJeHFyPAcbEwXqrZ80N~gP~iqFNTY7L6BXevHGOPEMjq2e180R3J9Ee2nASGHg6juMfktWO5jrwRvj41-Se7tLKTAcqWcc9NI2jRstfY6-oSO7JcwktQB-WNMjCHMvqT0JBa8whsMGMOoRtsfinvTn183R-pu-6BCu065qruVGE9MUKom9KcVtxj~-bUj~QeW4Ce1mMoHjV9WFD9eig-m9wFvV7oyidmTyHocuFku~sG9Muul4yzUzY6Qkmd~7kXsJN26ej3vL5CwUWCYbyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dayton City Commission was told on Jan. 29 that the City Clerk received initiative petitions from the “clergy clergy community coalition” seeking a public hospital in West Dayton and that the petitions have been submitted to the Montgomery County Board of Elections for validation.

Clerk Miss Blackshear said she received the petitions on Jan. 23, 2025, and that the city charter requires the clerk to present the petitions to the commission the Wednesday after signatures are received. The charter also requires a public hearing within 14 days after receipt for the commission to consider an ordinance.

Miss Blackshear said she scheduled the public hearing for Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025, at 6 a.m. in the city commission chambers.

The clerk did not provide additional details about the petition language, the number of signatures submitted or how the initiative would be financed. The transcript did not include statements from petition organizers beyond the clerk’s procedural announcement.

Steve Gondo, director of planning, neighborhoods and development, said 11 of 13 demolitions in December used American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and two used Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) funds. He said ARPA-funded work made up the bulk of the year’s activity and helped the program exceed its internal target for 2024.

Gondo said the city ended 2024 with 87 active “piles” (fire-damaged or otherwise hazardous structures awaiting removal), down slightly from 88 the month before. He reported that, for the year, staff processed 428 title reports, 163 asbestos surveys and 83 remediation projects as part of preparing properties for demolition.

“The work took place in the ARPA focus areas but also beyond those areas because of partnerships with the land bank and ODOD,” Gondo said, noting examples in Southern Dayton View, Santa Clara, Westwood and Roosevelt. He said 247 structures were on contract at the time of the briefing and that, adding contracts and anticipated ODOD work, his tally showed about 401 demolitions in place for 2025.

Gondo described efforts to avoid demolition when feasible, saying the city and its partners pursue structural rehabilitation where appropriate and use ARPA funding to support those efforts. He also detailed recent demolitions that neighborhood leaders had requested, including a blighted commercial structure removed to make room for infill housing under the Welcome Home Ohio program and several residential properties in historic districts where Landmarks staff agreed the buildings were “beyond repair.”

Commissioners asked for more integration of the demolition data with the city’s housing condition survey. Commissioner Fairchild asked if the program’s pace—208 demolitions in 2024 and roughly 400 planned in 2025—would double the workload for staff. Gondo said some ODOD-funded work may span 2025 and 2026 depending on state timing and that his 2025 work plan includes reassessing the pipeline as piles and new nuisance properties are added.

Public commenters and local commissioners also raised neighborhood-level concerns. Resident Jennifer Evans thanked staff for recent actions at a specific fire-damaged property and urged that two nearby nuisance houses be prioritized for removal. Gondo and other staff said the city maintains a dedicated fund for fire-pile removal and tries to take all accessory structures when it demolishes a house.

The presentation and discussion underscored the combination of federal ARPA dollars, state ODOD awards and local land‑bank partnerships driving the city’s demolition and blight‑remediation work as the commission moves toward the deadline for ARPA spending and continued enforcement of the city’s structural nuisance program.

Ending: The commission did not take a separate vote on the demolition presentation; staff said they will return with updated numbers after reassessing piles and recently added nuisance properties.","City planning director Steve Gondo told the Dayton City Commission the demolition program exceeded 2024 targets with 208 demolitions, highlighted ARPA-funded work and said 401 demolitions are currently in contract or planned for 2025 as the city moves to clear blighted properties.","actionData","errors"]
