Written with the help of AI from the Dayton City Commission agenda, Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Airport grant agreement and taxiway contract
The largest item is a $6,750,000 grant agreement with the Montgomery County Transportation Improvement District for the Dayton International Airport All Ohio Future Fund Sub-Recipient Agreement. It is handled by the Department of Aviation and runs through Dec. 31, 2031.
Why it matters: The agenda includes a $6.75 million airport grant agreement running through 2031 and commission action on the City Manager’s 2027 operating and capital budget recommendations.
Commissioners are also asked to award a $3,087,676 contract to Belgray, Inc. to rehabilitate Taxiway "W" pavement and reconstruct taxiway lighting (Phase 2/3) at the airport. The agenda lists 25.4% SBE participation against a 20% goal. The contract runs through Dec. 31, 2027.
2027 budget and related legislation
Resolution 6968-26, up for second reading, would approve the City Manager’s 2027 operating and capital improvement budget recommendations and authorize the necessary implementation actions. A resolution is a formal statement of the commission’s decision.
Ordinance 32221-26, also up for second reading, would provide temporary appropriations for the city’s ordinary operating and capital expenses until the 2027 annual appropriation ordinance is passed. An ordinance is a city law, and appropriations are the amounts the city is authorized to spend.
Resolution 6969-26 would authorize submitting the city’s 2027 Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and accept grant awards under three federal community planning and development formula programs. It is on first and second reading and declares an emergency.
Rezoning near Valley Street in Old North Dayton
Ordinance 32222-26, up for second reading, would amend the official zoning map for 2.57 acres at 427 Valley Street, including multiple other parcels, in ZIP code 45404. The land would change from MR-5 (Mature Single-Family) to CI (Campus Institutional).
The proposal also covers 0.43 acres southeast of the intersection of Stanley Avenue and Valley Street. That land would change from ER-4 (Eclectic Single-Family Residential) to CI (Campus Institutional). Both areas are in the Old North Dayton Planning District.
Senior housing, 6888 Kitchen and Tech Town
A $500,000 development agreement with Grace Dayton Senior Housing Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of National Church Residences, would support Gracious Manor, a new affordable senior housing community at 811 Dartmouth Drive in the Dayton View neighborhood. The agreement runs through June 30, 2029.
OH Taste, doing business as 6888 Kitchen, appears twice. A $100,000 contract modification (through Dec. 31, 2026) and a $75,000 development agreement (through Dec. 31, 2027) are both to support expansion of its commercial kitchen incubator, which serves food-based entrepreneurs in Dayton. Together they total $175,000.
Weston Solutions Inc. would receive a $175,000 contract modification (through Dec. 31, 2028) for environmental consulting at the "Tech Town" site at the corner of Monument Avenue and Webster Street.
Grants coming to the city
Commissioners will consider accepting a $216,649 grant award from the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board for the Dayton Mediation Center’s SAMHSA Project POINT grant. The agenda lists the term as ending 11/5/26.
Resolution 6966-26, on second reading, would accept an aggregate grant award of $182,718 from the U.S. Department of Justice.
A service agreement with Interstate Gas Supply, LLC (IGS Energy) sets terms for buying and selling renewable energy certificates tied to City of Dayton solar projects. No dollar amount is listed.
Other items

Resolution 6967-26, on second reading, would reaffirm the city’s commitment to equal protection and freedom from discrimination.

Public Works lists $150,000 for auto body repair services from Carl’s Body Shop, Inc. through Dec. 31, 2026, $7,000 for HVAC maintenance and repairs from CHWR, Inc. (CHW Mechanical Services), and $54,600 for 96-gallon trash containers with radio frequency identification tags from Rehrig Pacific Company.
