Dayton commission approves emergency ordinance to buy multiple parcels and appoints two to Sister City Committee

The Dayton City Commission approved an emergency ordinance authorizing the purchase of several parcels (R7200806-00001, R7200806-0002, R7200806-0003 and R72008060009) after a clerks' reading of the legislation. The clerk announced the ordinance passed with four votes in favor and one abstention.

The meeting also included a motion to appoint Kathleen Caffrey and Aldine Fafulovich to the Dayton Sister City Committee for terms ending Dec. 31, 2028; the commission moved, seconded and approved the appointments by voice vote.

No additional details about purchase prices or closing timelines were provided in the reading; first readings for other items (an alley vacation and an EPA grant application for up to $4,000,000 for upgrades to the Dayton Water Quality Laboratory) were announced as first readings and will return for later consideration according to the typical ordinance process.
