\"That 1 ERU is 2,923 square feet,\" a staff member said when explaining how the utility will measure impervious surface to set bills. The city’s billing unit (one equivalent residential unit) is 2,923 square feet of impervious area.
Residential bills will be tiered by impervious area. Under the proposal shown to council, Tier 1 properties (0–2,200 sq. ft. impervious) pay $7 per month (about $21 per quarter); Tier 2 properties (2,201–3,600 sq. ft.)—the average house—pay $12 per month (about $36 per quarter); Tier 3 properties (over 3,600 sq. ft.) pay a higher rate according to the measured impervious area. Nonresidential bills will be calculated by dividing a property’s measured impervious square feet by 2,923 to produce an ERU factor and then multiplying by the applicable ERU charge for the quarter. Staff said the plan is to bill quarterly in January, April, July and October.
Staff described stormwater credit options designed for household‑scale installations: rain barrels, rain gardens, vegetative filter strips or removal of impervious surface. The maximum credit available across credit types is 25 percent. Applications and guidance documents will be ready ahead of the first billing season; staff said credits will be inspected and, if approved, will apply for three years and then require renewal.
On customer service and billing technology, staff recommended InvoiceCloud for online payment processing and Peregrine Corporation for bill design, printing and mailing after a vendor quote process. The contracts to authorize those third‑party services were scheduled for council consideration at the Aug. 18 meeting, staff said.
Staff said the first bills are targeted for April 1, 2026, and would be retroactive to Jan. 1–March 31, 2026. Nonresidential property owners will receive pre‑billing notices in early fall with estimated ERUs so they can review measurements and raise questions in advance.
Regarding solid waste, staff said the city’s new contractor, Rumpke, will distribute collection containers starting Dec. 15 at the city parking lot and will begin service Jan. 1, 2026. Staff also discussed collection‑billing mechanics and noted the city can assess unpaid charges to property tax bills under city code; they are developing collection and customer‑service policies to reduce delinquency.
Council members asked how bills will be delivered, whether property owners or tenants are billed (staff confirmed bills go to owners), and whether online payment and automatic billing options would be available; staff said InvoiceCloud offers online account dashboards, pay‑by‑text and automatic payments, and the city will also provide an in‑lobby kiosk and a 24‑hour drop box for payments.
Staff said the nonresidential pre‑billing and credit application process, vendor authorization and Rumpke implementation schedule are the next steps; staff will return with contract resolutions on Aug. 18 and with additional customer‑service policies and outreach materials in the fall.","City staff briefed council on the stormwater utility design (ERU = 2,923 sq ft), residential rate tiers, credit options (max 25%) and implementation timeline; staff recommended InvoiceCloud and Peregrine for payment and bill‑printing services and said Rumpke will begin solid‑waste service Jan. 1 with container distribution Dec. 15.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6146373,"City finance update: master plan flags multi‑year general fund shortfall, RightPoint project a major driver",738,1916000,2654000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5527836-229203cfb249f9f93bbc70e5ed82bb37&start=1916&end=2654","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5527836-229203cfb249f9f93bbc70e5ed82bb37/thumbnail_1916000.jpg","/articles/6146373/Riverside/Montgomery-County/Ohio/City-finance-update-master-plan-flags-multiyear-general-fund-shortfall-RightPoint-project-a-major-driver","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6146373-c05c45f9dda84cf3a2b945d6e43db416/orig.mp4?Expires=1773656035&Signature=oDdTynKxl6MkDUbjhXRqSbu6X7f8PaMX0Imf~oT99Br9hVvKx5zMnDYqqlpSJ3vcavCT8Otw9Dd91GS2p0LM6J8y7sLb0XsLaNI6wsA4EELRqZD6mUfFNMk1-CoolmXbaI2Quj3vineHqXqmHJqohWJyH0kprqxd0RGtwlcOqGKo-~T-tVTLBdVi4SYHDWDPDNbP0BBwIl-bDKuysRgxR3VOtGUbz7G7YLhipyYiYGyutGzKuszACjqYmgO5zYaXZRv-QYctc0pyXW3e5bQ-DlODy0GATdD9IrrFy7v4ITpk81yasLmV45XeVqsfx8Pfbat3OgoG3ZXtwdAvc~JYZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Larry Hartlop, with the Shared Resource Center, presented Riverside’s July financial update and a 10‑year master financial plan to council on Aug. 4, saying year‑to‑date revenue and spending are near budget but the long‑term projection shows deficits without changes.
\"As of right now, through July 31 ... we've brought in about $21,000,000 for revenue for the City of Riverside, and of that about $6,800,000 was the income tax,\" Hartlop said. He reported property‑tax receipts near $2,000,000 and total expenses through July of about $21,500,000.
Hartlop said the city has roughly $10,800,000 in capital and debt showing in the year‑to‑date figure, and that most of that is related to the RightPoint project and an associated annual note. He and staff explained that the city reissues a one‑year note to pay off the previous year’s note, producing both revenue and expense entries in the year the note is issued.
The master plan model assumes roughly 1% annual growth in income tax revenue and holds staffing and other core assumptions steady. Under that baseline, the plan shows the general fund running into increasing deficits late in the decade and crossing into a negative cash position around 2031 unless revenues or expenses change.
Council members pressed staff for more detail about how RightPoint’s receipts, rents and debt interact with the general fund. Hartlop and the city manager said staff will provide a detailed RightPoint income/expense accounting and outlined potential strategic options to improve the outlook, including seeking tenants for underused space and examining whether police or other city functions could occupy portions of municipal properties to change cash flows.
No formal decisions were taken; staff said the master plan is intended to inform the September–October budget process and that more detailed RightPoint financials and scenario analyses will be provided to council before budget hearings.","Shared Resource Center staff presented a master financial plan showing current-year revenues roughly matching expenses but projecting growing general‑fund deficits in the late 2020s; city leaders discussed RightPoint building debt and options to reduce transfers from the general fund.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6146378,"Greater Dayton RTA to launch X6 express and new Route 3 trolley on Aug. 31",357,1014000,1371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5527836-229203cfb249f9f93bbc70e5ed82bb37&start=1014&end=1371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5527836-229203cfb249f9f93bbc70e5ed82bb37/thumbnail_1014000.jpg","/articles/6146378/Riverside/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Greater-Dayton-RTA-to-launch-X6-express-and-new-Route-3-trolley-on-Aug-31","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6146378-fe41300e5ac1cb8327590b0a3942744a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773656035&Signature=KPn3svuhQQ-Bor5PX18LpbBmFntPMsOPqaCLyG2juc63uKI7uT8FKeGevAYhZjHbfYxLKoo-L7tRF3Aa6KJBYZB3rqelxPV2jrd3kKZASnrsW50FTUGl~UyO0yodbn7qlPMmXUnQNdb9oMERSGmxxRyzaIu68T5fPw~X3Le59I-qsuxYfGlHVFYoukQesQMPt2i5reNixj9IPUcYCaPvVLoVlUTw9yyZSwjwFv3iEzmU0isurBQ5F70~WDoMcEVYUFwzRvIbeVHxH5FgtGpizKCwTByFfB3d9YHoi6zGMMGrVCByiDJwHlPInDsi0lhgUyehSG3Y8DuZP-SCyIoF-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kristy Newton, communications and community relations manager for the Greater Dayton RTA, told the City Council of Riverside on Aug. 4 that the transit agency will begin two new services on Aug. 31.
\"We are launching the express route, which is called the X6. It will be an express route from Downtown Dayton to the National Museum of the United States Air Force,\" Newton said during a presentation to council members and staff.
The X6 will run through downtown Dayton, stop at recently opened hotels, travel along Main Street and State Route 4 to the museum, then continue via Harshman and Airway roads to Wright State University. RTA said the X6 will operate seven days a week from 8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., with service every 40 minutes.
Newton also announced a new Route 3, an all‑trolley service from the Easttown Transit Center through downtown Dayton northeast to Dayton Children’s Hospital. Major stops will include Ballpark Village, the Oregon District, Kroger on Wayne Avenue, Belmont High School and East Town Shopping Center. Route 3 will run seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with buses about every 35 minutes.
The agency will also swap the eastern endpoints of existing Routes 1 and 6: starting Aug. 31, Route 6 will serve Wright State University and Route 1 will serve the Easttown Transit Hub. RTA said the swap will not remove service but will improve connections and frequency.
Newton described RTA’s on‑demand zones, which partner with third‑party ride services. \"We have four zones,\" she said. Customers can travel anywhere within a given zone; the museum is in Zone 4. The agency said the connect‑on‑demand trips cost $3 per trip and can be booked through RTA’s call center or the RTA app. RTA also reiterated fares for ADA paratransit ($4 per trip) and its 5310 program for essential trips by people 65 or older or people with disabilities ($5 per trip).
Newton showed a new bus stop sign design that includes text messaging and a phone number and said Route 3 details were already posted on RTA’s website; the X6 launch information would be posted at iriderta.org on Friday following the meeting.
Council members asked how riders set up the connect‑on‑demand option with Uber or Lyft and about ways the city could help promote the new services. Newton said RTA customer service can provide the necessary codes and that the agency will share promotional materials and collaborate with the city’s communications staff.
The presentation concluded with council and staff offering to help promote the routes and with the city manager and communications staff agreeing to follow up with RTA on outreach materials.","The Greater Dayton RTA told Riverside city council it will start two new routes — an X6 express to the National Museum of the United States Air Force and an all‑trolley Route 3 to Dayton Children’s Hospital — and will swap the east ends of Routes 1 and 6 to improve connections; service details and fares were announced.","actionData","errors"]
