Resident asks county to support a study of local purchasing through Miami Valley Community Wealth Initiative
Summary
A Dayton resident, Alec Johnson, asked commissioners to meet with initiative participants, designate a county staff contact, and provide procurement and contract data to support an independent study of opportunities to keep public spending local.
During the public‑comment period, Mr. Alec Johnson of Dayton's Hearthstone neighborhood urged the Board to engage with the Miami Valley Community Wealth Initiative, a community‑led effort to strengthen the local economy by identifying goods and services currently purchased outside the region and assessing opportunities for local sourcing. He asked the county to meet with initiative participants, designate a staff contact, and make procurement, vendor and contract‑renewal data available to support an independent public study.
The minutes summarize his requests but do not record any immediate response or formal direction from the commissioners in the transcript. The request would require staff follow-up if the board chooses to assign a liaison and release procurement data; the agenda did not include a formal motion on this public‑comment request.
