City staff described the Dayton Children's Hospital award as “a grant agreement for a $150,000 that comes to you from the 2023 CDBG competitive process,” and said the program will support tutoring, college readiness, leadership training, resiliency and suicide-prevention activities, skilled trades exposure and community-beautification projects.

Commissioners first moved to adopt the package of city-manager recommendations with the Dayton Children's item removed so that any potential conflicts could be handled separately; the package was then adopted. The Dayton Children's Hospital item was taken up and approved in a separate vote. A commissioner announced a recusal for the Dayton Children's item prior to the separate vote; at the separate vote one commissioner registered an abstention. The commission did not provide further detail in the meeting record about the nature of the recusal; no ordinance or resolution accompanying the grant was recorded at the meeting beyond the grant authorization.

On the legislative calendar, the commission completed second reading of Ordinance No. 32148-25, vacating the alley east of North Terry Street from East Third Street to the alley north of East Third Street. The roll call recorded “Aye” votes from Mayor Jeffrey J. Mims Jr., Commissioner Shaw, Bear Chow and Turner Sloth during the second-reading announcement.

The commission also presented a proclamation recognizing the Bruner Literacy Center and designated June 21, 2025, as Bruner Literacy Day in the City of Dayton. Commissioners used the meeting’s closing remarks to highlight upcoming Juneteenth observances, community events at the Levitt Pavilion and other summer activities.

Staff said they will circulate materials and memos related to the manager’s recommendations and the grant; implementation details such as contracts or grant agreements and any reporting requirements will follow regular administrative processes for CDBG-funded projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dayton City Commission Meeting 6-18-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Dayton City Commission approved the city manager’s package of recommendations and separately approved a $150,000 Community Development Block Grant to Dayton Children's Hospital for youth programming in the Burkhart-Springfield neighborhoods; an alley-vacation ordinance passed second reading.","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},6191188,"Veteran urges Dayton commission to pause photo-enforcement program, alleges legal violations",171,433000,604000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4990824-ff7e17569997584a2a11c338a51b616a&start=433&end=604","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4990824-ff7e17569997584a2a11c338a51b616a/thumbnail_433000.jpg","/articles/6191188/Ohio/Veteran-urges-Dayton-commission-to-pause-photo-enforcement-program-alleges-legal-violations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191188-2153e8ca5719f965e0b1a908b254b6aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771062929&Signature=GPgdkaJOuZ5Oa7XHbFlg2DXjl3deAElaut09GxY9kkfOg8d8~0WsphYRii1R6zpBVkB8PyP-NVBVlVgMgVWbrPMAPsF-1KesTbP8WRFaT435-Us0rPYpmtTEr4DZgiacWBVQRq~slyCEhZUFvBA70AtOvJzewJUNQFqxaXYNYqufKhQxbqY1~Z3BlrtgsJyECijftg9Khcq7HY6UdwzyPZgqdQ9Ax1-aipeAEix2GvDPEMBPYiZcjcKNASK6QrvUhSEsvLpYPMU~VeVwJyyYTR~xcrhH~KY3SslUQlFi6e9h2WDvXWb8Lw1vB9huz~d3BOUazSA1g2COls0CxiT6VA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Aaron Timmons, a disabled U.S. Air Force veteran, asked the Dayton City Commission on June 18 to place an immediate moratorium on the city's photo-enforcement program, arguing the program violates state law and city code and that the city has not produced requested records.

Timmons addressed the commission during the public-comment period, saying “the trailer sat in the same exact public spot for months, functioning like any other fixed camera,” and that Ohio law — as he cited it, Ohio Revised Code 4511.094 — requires a clearly posted warning sign within 300 feet of a device. He also asserted that notices sent by the city threatened vehicle immobilization and that Dayton city code 70.121 provides that the only remedy for nonpayment is filing a civil suit.

Timmons said he filed a motion to compel discovery and for sanctions in Dayton Municipal Court after the city produced no calibration logs or records he requested, and he told the commission he expects state legislative inquiries. “This isn't negligence. It's a pattern of obstruction and intimidation to protect revenue,” he said, adding he would explore a civil-rights complaint and a potential class action if the program continued.

The commission did not take formal action on the issue during the meeting. The city manager’s office told the commission it would follow up. “We obviously work very closely with our law department for the legal analysis with regards to all of our speed and red-light enforcement,” a city staff member said, and that a memo would be circulated to the commission with additional information.

Commissioner Dennis Laws thanked Timmons for his comments and noted the commission had received his correspondence; he said staff and the in-house legal team would provide additional information to the commission. No moratorium or other directive to halt enforcement was voted on at the meeting.

Timmons told the commission he had filed court papers alleging the city withheld records; the commission’s next steps will be limited to the internal follow-up and any developments in court. The municipal-court filing, legislative inquiries and any further production of records remain matters outside the commission’s immediate vote and are subject to the judicial and legislative processes.","At a Dayton City Commission meeting, resident Aaron Timmons urged a moratorium on the city's photo-enforcement program, alleging missing warning signs, unlawful threats to immobilize vehicles and withholding of records; city staff said they will follow up with a memo after consulting the law department.","actionData","errors"]
