City moves forward on West Dayton police station contract modification

City administration told the commission it is advancing a service agreement amendment with Brumbaugh Construction to continue work on the West Dayton police station, part of the Dayton Recovery Plan and described as a more than $10 million investment in West Dayton infrastructure.

The item was introduced as a calendar item by the city manager and the commission approved the manager’s recommendations by motion. Commissioner Fitchout asked about a related master planning report for a separate site (the Right Factory site) and was told a conceptual plan exists while structural master‑planning work was paused and is expected to wrap up in approximately 90–120 days once vendor availability allowed completion.

Staff characterized the contract modification as a step in completing the West Pod police station and noted the change will support attracting future investment and development. The approval at the meeting was an administrative acceptance of the contract amendment; there was no separate legislative ordinance presented during the meeting.
