Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Dayton City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-4 (amending Chapter 38 on the Code Enforcement Board) and Ordinance 2025-5 (a FY2024–25 budget amendment), accepted a concrete bid from TMS Construction and authorized a statewide mutual aid agreement; the council also heard department reports and scheduled special meetings for Sept. 30.
The Dayton City Council met Sept. 9 at the Dayton Community Center and unanimously approved two ordinances and two order-resolutions affecting city operations and procurement.
Ordinance 2025-4, a second reading to amend Chapter 38 of the City of Dayton Code of Ordinances to clarify organizational and regulatory requirements for the Code Enforcement Board, advanced on a motion by Member Nyman and a second from Member Horton; the five voting members present recorded aye votes and the measure passed. The session then moved to Ordinance 2025-5, a second-reading amendment to the city’s fiscal year 2024–25 budget that estimates revenues and appropriates funds under the authority of KRS 82.082; Member Horton moved the reading and Member Judd seconded, and the council voted unanimously to adopt the amendment.
The council heard the first reading of Ordinance 2025-6, which would set tax levies and procedures for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025; that measure was read but not voted on during the meeting.
On procurement and intergovernmental matters, the council approved Order Resolution 2025-23R to accept the per-unit bid from TMS Construction, Inc. for future city concrete work after a motion by Member Nyman and a second from Member Judd. The council also approved Order Resolution 2025-24R authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky for Statewide Emergency Management Mutual Aid and Assistance; Member Lovins moved that resolution and Member Horton seconded, with a unanimous vote in favor.
Department leaders delivered monthly reports. Code Enforcement Officer Cassie Patterson presented the code enforcement report. Fire Chief Brent Schafer reported that the Fire Department responded to 195 calls in August. Police Chief Dave Halfhill noted that officer candidate Caleb Crawford is scheduled to graduate from the police academy in September. Public Works Director Rick Lucas provided an update on public-works activities.
City Administrator Jay Fossett reported that a pre-construction meeting has taken place for Riverfront Commons Phases II and III and outlined upcoming projects including new playground equipment and fencing at Gil Lynn Park, paving of a pickleball court, curb painting and progress on a proposed public works building. Fossett also reminded the council that two special called meetings are scheduled for Sept. 30.
During the audience-comment period, resident Dave Moffet of 901 5th Avenue raised complaints related to a wreck several years earlier; the transcript records the comment but does not show council direction or a formal response during the meeting.
Member Neary moved to approve the minutes from Aug. 12, Member Judd seconded, and the council unanimously approved. The council adjourned at 7:56 p.m. after Member Nyman moved to adjourn and Member Horton seconded.
What’s next: Ordinance 2025-6 will require additional readings or action at a future meeting; the council will meet in two special sessions on Sept. 30 as announced by the city administrator.
