The Dayton City Commission on Aug. 14 conducted second readings and recorded affirmative votes on two legislative items: emergency resolution No. 6878-25, authorizing the city’s continued participation in the Montgomery County multi-jurisdictional hazard management plan with the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management; and second-reading ordinance No. 32155-25, which amended the official zoning map to rezone approximately 0.21 acres at 742 and 746 Belmont Park North from mature single-family residential (MR-5) to campus institutional (CI).

During the legislative roll call for the emergency-resolution second reading, Mayor Mims and several commissioners responded in the affirmative. The ordinance on second reading also recorded affirmative votes and advanced under the commission’s legislative calendar.

The commission also held first readings of resolution No. 6879-25 and resolution No. 6880-25, both declaring the city’s intention to appropriate real-property interests for the Salem Avenue Reconstruction Phase 4 project and the Findlay Street reconstruction project, respectively. Those two items were introduced on first reading and will return for further action under the city’s ordinance and appropriation process.

Why it matters: Continued participation in the county’s multi-jurisdictional hazard management plan keeps the city aligned with county emergency planning and mutual-aid frameworks. The small rezoning changes the land-use designation for two parcels and may affect allowable uses on those lots going forward.

Next steps: The appropriation-intent resolutions will return for additional readings and formal appropriation action; rezoning and emergency-management participation are recorded as advanced per the second-reading actions taken Aug. 14.
