What passed: The commission acted on several emergency resolutions objecting to liquor-permit renewals, approved grant submissions and acceptances, authorized acceptance of emergency-management funds for NATO Parliamentary Assembly protective measures, and approved a port-authority appointment. The commission also reappointed a member to the Greater Dayton Premier Management board and advanced other routine land-use and personnel items.

Details of notable items the commission recorded on the floor included:
- Emergency Resolution 6850625: Objecting to issuance/renewal of liquor permit No. 03046763 for B and B Lounge and Patio LLC, 2914 Salem Ave. The measure was declared an emergency and passed following a roll-call confirmation when read for second reading; the mayor and commissioners on record answered \"aye.\"
- Emergency Resolution 6850725: Objecting to issuance/renewal of liquor permit No. 6516477005 for Ohio Chiefs Bar and Lounge LLC, 1124 Leo St. Declared an emergency and approved on second reading with commissioners recorded as \"aye.\"
- Emergency Resolution 6850825: Objecting to issuance/renewal of liquor permit No. 5377780 for MS2 Carryout LLC (Delphi's Carryout), 2903 W. Third St. Declared an emergency and approved on second reading with commissioners recorded as \"aye.\"
- Emergency Resolution 6850925: Approving submission of a grant application for the FY2025 Ohio Airport Grant Program to the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Aviation, and authorizing acceptance of a grant for up to $749,550. The commission declared an emergency and approved the measure on second reading.
- Emergency Resolution 68606025: Authorizing acceptance of grant awards from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency, not to exceed $2,800,000, to support emergency protective measures for the 2025 NATO Parliamentary Assembly; city manager authorized to execute necessary agreements. Declared an emergency and approved on second reading.
- Emergency Resolution 6860125: Appointing a member to the board of directors of the Dayton Montgomery County Port Authority; declared an emergency and approved.
- Reappointment: Commission voted to reappoint Michelle Roberts to the Greater Dayton Premier Management Board for a term ending 06/30/2030; motion moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.

How votes were recorded: Several items were approved after being declared emergency and read for second reading; some measures received roll-call affirmations (mayor and commissioners recorded as \"aye\") and others were approved by voice vote when moved and seconded. No formal opposition was recorded on the items called for immediate passage.

Why it matters: The liquor-permit objections reflect the commission using its statutory objection authority under local liquor procedures; the airport and emergency-management grants carry federal/state funding and operational implications for the Dayton International Airport and city public-safety preparations for a major international event, respectively. The port-authority appointment and the board reappointment affect governance of local authorities and public-housing oversight respectively.

The commission concluded the legislative section after handling the listed measures and moved on to other business.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dayton City Commission Meeting 4-23-25","oneSentenceSummary","At the meeting the commission approved several emergency resolutions and first/second readings including objections to liquor permit renewals, airport and emergency-management grants, a port authority appointment, and a board reappointment.","taxTitle","Dayton City Council, Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",68964,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6261398,"Dayton Sister Cities committee outlines student exchanges, cultural events and 60th-anniversary activities",535,105000,640000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124148-40dfa70752c9e659c81d9c8ed482bdf7&start=105&end=640","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124148-40dfa70752c9e659c81d9c8ed482bdf7/thumbnail_105000.jpg","/articles/6261398/Ohio/Dayton-Sister-Cities-committee-outlines-student-exchanges-cultural-events-and-60th-anniversary-activities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261398-19a3c0ba2cad28a9b210bb5140f012f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771015351&Signature=Pq82ETs5lbm57RwQjH4FlrJaI53hXyZ3mZEBUolUaq3U1iRosvBGPVfrntPzuWEzJ-QKjj6jSUDfkIqLwMc0cBrEsgOju99t9PAsIN5peFkBIzwevYTLLnSszDHK5ryCnPokwKwrZL7Ko7UQEdITSEV-xzO21PoPsAIf6nBvQzHi4uJ-xYzmt263C~qb3isD5jQIb3qSqSYUqM38C7fgIVVQL6uqlZkuaUudVblV6rWLPk1FQwrJ2pZzajTCeXcDD7vMRNT4TO-lK6KWFCPo6H2fp5-xs5nlr03c4Etx5s~vLx80SobNfnEUx7RuJooPNTbukM46xuNt8ZGDLW0e7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dayton Sister Cities Committee provided an update on programs and travel scheduled with multiple sister cities, including student exchanges, artist collaborations, public events and a multi-city commemoration tied to the Dayton Peace Accords.

Kevin Lighty, chair of the Dayton Sister City Committee, told the commission the committee maintains relationships with seven sister cities and highlighted several near-term items. He said Augsburg, Germany, will send roughly 18 students and teachers to Dayton for a nine-day homestay as part of a yearlong 60th-anniversary celebration of the Augsburg relationship. Lighty said an Augsburg delegation including the mayor is expected to visit Dayton in August.

Lighty said Dayton will host visiting students and ceramic artists from Oiso, Japan, with three students and two ceramic artists scheduled to travel; the artists will collaborate with host artists and have work displayed at festivals and potentially at the Dayton Art Institute. He also said Dayton will be represented at the U.S.–Japan Summit and the World Expo in Osaka later this year.

Updates included work with Monrovia, Liberia — committee members visited Monrovia and met with the mayor, U.S. Embassy contacts and local schools to discuss exchanges and library projects — and an ongoing virtual collaboration with Holon, Israel, that has included presentations from local institutions such as the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. The committee is preparing events to mark the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords in November and is planning youth leadership exchanges connected to that programming.

Lighty identified two public events planned in August: a broader commemoration of the end of World War II (scheduled for Aug. 5 at the Dayton International Peace Museum) and a planned performance in collaboration with the Levitt Pavilion by a multi-language music group from Holon that mixes Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Yiddish, Aramaic and English in performances promoting reconciliation. Lighty said the group’s visa process is underway.

Commissioners praised the committee’s volunteer work and asked that the calendar and event particulars be made available on the city website. Commissioner Slaus asked that the committee’s two-year calendar be posted; Lighty said the calendar is already linked from the city website to the Sister Cities page. Commissioner Fairchild noted the potential for citizen-to-citizen diplomacy given Dayton’s sister-city relationships in both Israel and Palestine, and other commissioners thanked the committee for its work.

Lighty closed by saying the committee’s multi-year calendar is tentative and that many activities are volunteer-run.","The Dayton Sister Cities Committee presented a multi-year calendar of exchanges and events including a 60th-anniversary visit from Augsburg, student homestays, cultural-arts exchanges and a commemorative program for the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords.",{"_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},6261402,"Commission approves $2.4 million ARPA award to launch Inclusive Business Recovery Opportunity Center",3165,944000,4109000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124148-40dfa70752c9e659c81d9c8ed482bdf7&start=944&end=4109","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124148-40dfa70752c9e659c81d9c8ed482bdf7/thumbnail_944000.jpg","/articles/6261402/Ohio/Commission-approves-24-million-ARPA-award-to-launch-Inclusive-Business-Recovery-Opportunity-Center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261402-ad29de10b3ca51fc434058e930de85df/orig.mp4?Expires=1771015351&Signature=PDxsA9arR4V14dqzO7ktMPtuBHOm2i~z4Dfvvph~Sx2vAJjNt5gIo9Vs8Xwwl7B8g799mO9GbWdRdOGu3NRHOHrDnZI6uNzX32dcjJz1Zian1i2VhhnDETGoNa4v1TxdLNkCcthGxhf0jmkEy3y~bvyqtD3w~KtTUOq2x~M~2s1uGLiGxZr~xF-6ghsqJ5rF9M8B~xY6ZJH81k5xVhewum8uqgUtJCysDzBoz9F22z3GH8xCr5mrPa~YePUhNHkGd7gdLO518vsg4di-3X9ztp14epmwZGrf7sjpJAHzS1uRIf9mzAaoaPiU23KD7un-31UzLw1n1LStLMgFhP4jDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dayton City Commission voted to approve a $2,400,000 award from Dayton Recovery Plan funds to the Dayton Miami Valley Entrepreneur Center and the Miami Valley Urban League to launch and operate an Inclusive Business Recovery Opportunity Center (IBROC).

The IBROC is intended to serve as a convenor and capacity builder for small-business support organizations and entrepreneurs, with a specific emphasis on historically underrepresented or “untapped” entrepreneurs. Deputy City Manager Lashay Lofton outlined the award and said, “With your approval this evening, Dayton is taking a bold and tangible step forward to ensure that all entrepreneurs, especially those historically underrepresented, have the tools, support, and opportunity to thrive.”

Why it matters: City staff said IBROC will use a coordinated, data-driven approach to reduce friction for entrepreneurs seeking services and capital. The initiative is funded from ARPA-designated Dayton Recovery Plan money and is intended as an implementation step following several years of planning with outside consultants.

City staff and partners said the IBROC planning process was led by consulting firm NextStreet and included community stakeholders and local advisors. Donald Jones, a NextStreet partner, described a four-phase planning process of visioning, fact-gathering, community co-design and business-plan development. He said the IBROC will perform two core roles: act as a convenor of the local business-support ecosystem and build capacity among service providers.

Operational details presented to the commission included: the $2.4 million award to the Entrepreneur Center and the Miami Valley Urban League to manage and operate the center; the creation of an independent advisory board to oversee IBROC; a physical headquarters to be located at the Dayton Arcade; and initial staff expected to include two to three dedicated positions with some interim support provided by the partner organizations. The partners said they are contractually required to provide quarterly metrics and reports to the advisory board and the commission.

Scott Korndyke of the Entrepreneur Center described the effort as “a community where untapped entrepreneurs feel supported,” and said IBROC will not duplicate existing providers but will connect entrepreneurs to the right resources at the right time. Nicole Miller of the Miami Valley Urban League said the Urban League will serve in the convening role and will lead outreach, data management and reporting.

Commission discussion focused on governance, reporting cadence, staffing and sustainability. City staff said the contract is with the Entrepreneur Center as the lead entity but that the program will operate collaboratively under direction from the advisory board. Contract language requires quarterly reporting; staff said the advisory board will advise on whether that cadence should change.

Commissioners asked about long-term funding. Partners said the first year will be focused on proving the model and that a sustainability plan — expected to include a mix of private, public and philanthropic funding — will be developed after the initial demonstration year.

The commission approved the city manager’s recommendations by voice vote; commissioners present answered \"aye.\" The mayor moved to accept the recommendations and the motion was seconded; the measure passed and the partners were cleared to begin implementation.

The partners said the IBROC will return data and outcomes to the commission as it operates and will convene a first advisory-board meeting immediately to begin staffing and launch work.","The Dayton City Commission approved a $2,400,000 award from the Dayton Recovery Plan (ARPA) to the Dayton Miami Valley Entrepreneur Center and the Miami Valley Urban League to launch an Inclusive Business Recovery Opportunity Center (IBROC) to coordinate supports for historically underrepresented entrepreneurs.","actionData","errors"]
