A regular meeting of Dayton City Council was held on Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2016, 7:00 p.m. in the board meeting room of the Dayton Independent Schools Administration Building, Third & Clay Street, Dayton, KY.

Mr. Derek Daley and Mr. Cam Miller were both award a $125.00 Nano Grant from The Center for Great Neighborhoods and Skyward for producing videos which told their story of Dayton. Videos were requested for this project on why you think Dayton is a great place to live.
Bob Slucher, 901 Fifth Avenue, thanked council for allowing Trunk or Treat again this year.
Tammy Cornett, 225 Third Avenue, thanked Mayor, Council and all the people who volunteered or donated to the Kite Festival. The Civic Club made over $1,000.00 profit. There were 66 volunteers, 23 mascots and 10 people who donated money or items. Light up Dayton will be held at the Fire House on Sunday, December 4th, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. At 5:30 p.m. everyone will meet at the Monument for hot chocolate, cookies, music, lighting of the monument and lighting of the lanterns.
Juanita Rogg, 425 Third Avenue, asked about the Riverfront Park and the Walnut Street Park. These parks have been taken away from the residents but not replaced with new parks as promised. Ms. Rogg feels moving the Walnut Street Park to Third and Vine is not a good deal for the city. The developer was given a large area at Third and Walnut and in return is giving the residents a smaller area. City Adm. Giffen advised the developer is trying to purchase a second lot. City Adm. Giffen noted the city could not stop the development because of the park. Over the last three years City Adm. Giffen has been working on a 1.4 million dollar Riverfront Commons Trail. Hopefully these parks will be completed soon.

96.40 DUMPSTERS AND OTHER RECEPTACLES FOR DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS.

Major Sidewalk Enhancement Project: City Adm. Giffen received the score sheets from council and sent them to the state today. GRW Engineering was the top selection. City Adm. Giffen asked for a motion to award the bid to GRW Engineering to design the project. Total budget is $310,000 for design. Based on this budget $25,000 would go to GRW Engineering. An RFP or RFQ for price is not required to approve this bid. The money contract will come in December. Motion by Member Tucker, seconded by Member Lynn to award the bid to GRW Engineering.
Member Lynn Aye Member Tucker Aye
Annual Audit: Two bids were received. The lowest was Van Gorder, Walker & Company. They quoted a three year contract. Eight thousand the first year, eight thousand five hundred the second year and eight thousand seven hundred the third year. The city budget is $12,000 per year. Motion by Member Lynn, seconded by Member Gifford to enter into a three year contract with Van Gorder, Walker & Company for the annual audit.

2015 Paving Overage from Bluegrass Paving:
This has been going on since spring and we finally came to a decision after going through weight tickets and overages on streets. City Adm. Giffen met with Bluegrass Paving a few weeks ago. They have a new staff and have had quite a bit of turnover within the company. City Adm. Giffen asked for council’s approval to pay Bluegrass Paving, $2,923.12 from the Municipal Aid Account for overages that occurred this spring on Seventh and Berry. This brings the total cost to $132,552.65 which includes $1049.33 of additional work done on O’Fallon Avenue that was actually paid for in the final invoice. Motion by Member Burns, seconded by Member Neary to pay the additional $2,923.12 to Bluegrass Paving out of the Municipal Aid Fund. Comments: Member Burns thanked City Adm. Giffen, Rick Lucas, Supt. Public Works and City Att. Edge for saving the city money. Motion carried—so ordered.
Monitor Closely Lighting Proposal:
In the spring we looked at going with a sister company of Duke Energy for new lighting for the City Building. What Monitor Closely is providing is a little bit more expensive but a better deal and a better product. Fixtures will be replaced and realigned. The total cost of the installation will be $13,038.88. After six months the city will get a rebate of $5,487.00. With an estimated yearly savings of $1,503.40. This is really needed as we recently had an incident in the Police Dept. where the light fixture started smoking. City Adm. Giffen asked council for a motion to have the Mayor enter into a contract with Monitor Closely. Motion by Member Burns, seconded by Member Gifford to enter into a contract with Monitor Closely as suggested by the City Administrator. Comments: Member Neary asked if this will qualify the city for any type of LED certification. City Adm. Giffen will look into this. The warranty on the equipment is five years on parts and one year on the labor. The removal and proper disposal of the old equipment is $1,372.00, which is included in the total cost.
Right-of-Way and Topography Survey for Sidewalk Enhancement Project:
As part of the sidewalk enhancement project from Seventh Avenue to Chateau and upper Belmont to Ervin Terrace we’ve looked into conducting a right of way and topography survey a little ahead of the design so it does not delay the design work when GRW Engineering starts. City Adm. Giffen contacted six or seven individual firms to get bids. Two responded and Cardinal Engineering was the lowest at $9,550.00. Economic Development Funds can be used to cover the cost of this survey. This project as a whole will enhance our business district and make the connectivity for pedestrian complete. City Adm. Giffen asked council to approve $11,000 for this project. The reason is the initial cost of $9,550.00 did not cover Belmont to Ervin Terrace. The $9,550.00 is just based on Seventh Avenue to Chateau. Member Neary questioned why Sixth Avenue was not included in the right of way study. City Adm. Giffen noted after talking with the bidders and the fact it is off the State Hwy, they did not think it would be an issue. If they do have to do a little work it would be minor.
Motion by Member Neary, seconded by Member Burns to approve the study not to exceed $11,000.
City Adm. Giffen reported that Tina Neyer, Main Street Manager, has submitted her resignation effective Nov. 11, 2016. After much thought City Adm. Giffen and Mayor Boruske suggested continuing the CCAP Program but making the Main Street Manager positon a contract positon, with a set number of hours. Something like the City Attorney’s contract. This person would be paid based on the number of hours worked. The number of hours could be adjusted as needed. After much discussion it was agreed upon by the majority of council that the Main Street Manager position should remain fulltime in order to move the business district forward. The city will advertise for a fulltime replacement.
Fall Cleanup for Dayton Residents Only: A dumpster will be placed at Gil Lynn Park from Nov. 14 through Nov. 18th.
Mayor Boruske introduced Cameron Blau, District Judge, who is running for re-election. Mr. Blau asked for support in the Nov. 8th. election.
Donna Leger, submitted a copy of the financials. The real estate taxes are due Nov. 8, 2016. So far over 60% of the taxes have been paid.
Richard McAllister, submitted a copy of his report.
Michael Auteri, Fire Chief, submitted a copy of his report. New hire Ben Johnson comes to the department with seven years’ experience in firefighting and EMS. He starts this Friday. Chris Adkins was promoted to Captain, and Firefighter/Paramedic Brian Boyers was promoted to Lieutenant.
City Adm. Giffen is working with the Transportation Department on the feasibility of a study on Route 8.
The burnt out house on Ninth Avenue is on the schedule for demolition. The demolition will be done by Kings & Sons.
Mayor Boruske wished good luck to all the council candidates in the upcoming election.
Motion by Member Burns, seconded by Member Tucker to adjourn. Motion carried—so ordered.
