I believe Keowee Street from Xenia Ave to Monument Ave should become a boulevard with trees and grass running down the middle of this wide stretch of concrete. This would soften the landscape,be helpful to the environment, slow traffic and make it pedestrian friendly. The impact of this improvement at the Fifth Street intersection would greatly improve the safety for pedestrians linking the business sections of the Oregon District and St. Anne’s Hill as well as the Stivers High School students who cross there as well. The cars that exit 35 often are prone to speeding and running the red light. The street is too wide to cross in a safe amount of time.

Invest in areas of town that have been struggling to attract businesses and residents- with a specific emphasis on black and brown neighborhoods.

Money has been spent to revitalize historic buildings such as the Arcade, the Lofts, etc. I would like to see a contribution from the City for the restoration and preservation of Woodland's Historic Chapel. It is the 180th Anniversary of this institution. One of the oldest if not the oldest next to the City of Dayton itself. It is the keeper of Dayton's most famous and infamous residents as well as the hard working folks who made it Great 'n Dayton. I was asked to fill out this survey by one of the Arts organizations who has received monetary support throughout the pandemic through a variety of resources. The cemetery is its own entity. Our staff took pay cuts to keep us going and yet we do not qualify for COVID relief funding due to our business status. We are finding it difficult to employ additional workers due to other stimulus packages. Our fundraising has come to a near halt due to the tornados, mass shooting and pandemic relief funds set up to assist citizens in need from those incidents. Funding for projects like the restoration and preservation of the Historic Chapel at Woodland are in dire need of funds to complete the project. The city has thrown money at projects less worthy and just as worthy. assistance to Woodland will strengthen the University of Dayton Neighborhood that surrounds the cemetery and keep three remaining Richardsonian Romanesque buildings, built in 1887, in the city. It will help to preserve the 17 Tiffany windows in the Chapel, as well as the hand-cut Tiffany tiled floor. It will assist in preserving the limestone and sandstone structure for another 130+ years. Please consider a grant to Woodland Arboretum Foundation for its restoration and preservation efforts. The cemetery is not going anywhere and many of those resting peacefully within: the Wright brothers, Erma Bombeck, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Charles Kettering, John Patterson, Gov. Cox, Col.

My suggestion is to use these funds to make permanent improvements or repair to physical structures that need replaced, repaired or improved. Do not use the funds to create new funding for programs that cannot be sustained.

1) Dayton needs to use ARPA funds to "balance the goals of economic development and cultural development". Specifically, the city can advance heritage preservation and cultural tourism associated with "funk music". Kansas City successfully did it with the 18th and Vine Jazz District. 2) Dayton could create a "Fresh Food Financing Initiative (FFFI)" with some of the ARPA funds in order to bring grocery stores back to existing communities. In Pennsylvania, the FFFI leveraged $8 for every $1 in public investment. 3) Dayton needs to use ARPA funds to advance "environmental justice" in communities that have been overwhelmed by past policies of redlining; highway construction; and urban renewal. "Environmental justice solutions combined with planning" provide communities with a pathway out of poverty.

Don't support businesses who pay poverty wages to families. This is going out of the frying pan and into the fire. In many cases, the minimum wage employee will have Title XX daycare assistance at roughly $700 per child per month, Medicaid at roughly $360 per person, Section 8 at about $800 to $1,200 per month, SNAP at up to $194 per person, and further assistance just to go earn a paycheck that doesn't add up to 20% of what the business is costing the government to secure poverty workers. I'm not against assistance for needy people but there is some assistance I feel is more of corporate welfare than anything if it is going to perpetuate a job opening for a business that never improves the outlook of workers until they are forced into it. Now is the chance to force them into it. I'm saying we should prefer jobs that pay better on behalf of public assistance recipients and middle-class taxpayers. They will never get their taxes cut if we never find solutions to poverty. If we keep growing poverty, we will have more poverty and people will keep needing assistance. Even if one worker moves to a better job, another person will soon come fill the vacancy. If we prefer business that wish to pay prevailing wages, people will increasingly move toward self-sufficiency as a community, regardless who is clocking in from day to day. In some cases, society is better off to just pay poverty workers to stay home because when they are working, the expenses go up more than their paycheck brings in and due to the paycheck, benefits coming into the household get cut. It would be a middle-class tax cut in a sense to transform assistance recipients into taxpayers because the burden goes down while the tax collection goes up. Policy that opens the door for poverty jobs is one that needs to managed intelligently. This funding just cannot get to be evenly distributed. Water the flowers and pull the weeds. Above all else, we need you now to make our garden grow. Any Daytonian with an increase in wages will pay more city tax, be happier to live here, and therefore make a tremendous contributions to moving our whole city in the right direction.

I’m a native resident of Dayton for thirty years ,and what I would believe the community needs is more funding towards the entertainment industry. For those of us that live on the west/east side of Dayton we have to drive to the suburbs to see a movie at the theater, etc. The city of Dayton proper, needs a movie theater, bowling alley, skating rink, and more focus on night life and tourist attractions. I believe if more of these business were implemented on the west/east side 7/6/2021 Online Survey of Dayton it would keep the youth out of trouble, and increase more revenue into the city. 7/6/2021 Online Survey 7/6/2021 Online Survey Please support the arts in Dayton. 7/6/2021 Online Survey

Dayton must address core issues that destroy families. Parents must be employed in meaningful careers whether trades or professions, as that provides greatest leverage to children observing functional positive life-values; and this will contribute to the general welfare of the community by growing tax base and reducing crime and safety-next expense. This must be the focus from which Dayton will ignite it's future.

Can these funds be applied to bring new businesses to Dayton? The city desperately needs a large grocery store; I drive to Kettering to get my groceries. There also needs to be more businesses: pharmacy, office supply store, pet store, dry cleaner, etc. for day-to-day life. And a dog park...it sounds like a school is going to be built on the Deeds Point dog park. Pet owners need space for their dogs to run, rather than being fussed at for when their dogs pee on bushes.

The city of Dayton needs to focus thawed funds like a laser on tearing down and hauling away blighted and abandoned properties. If there is anything left, the focus should shift to infrastructure repair (roads especially, but also sidewalks, etc). After that it can begin to make improvements that would promote healthier lifestyles and a more active city. It must be this way: no one cares much about a fancy new walking path if it takes you past a bunch of dilapidated and boarded up houses.

First thing is do something about the crime in dayton and surrounding suburbs to make areas more pleasant for family homes that would bring more people to downtown and nearby shopping. Also have better incentives for bringing a Whole Foods type grocery store and other stores that follow the popular trends to the type of people that are wanting to live downtown. Dont use all space for more apartments if you dont bring in stores that will keep these people to the 7/6/2021 Online Survey area to shop.

I suggest that the City of Dayton make direct payments to 2,300 Black families of $500 a month for a year. Black Daytonians have been devastated by a history of redlining, discriminatory housing and banking practices, an under- resourced school system and other forms of systemic racism. If there is a legal barrier that would prevent payouts to only Black resident’s, I propose a direct payment of $500 a month to 2,300 of Dayton’s residents of any race who can demonstrate a need. The cost of such payouts would be 13.8 million dollars, a mere 10% of what Dayton is receiving from the federal government as a result of the ARPA. Direct payments are less paternalistic than other programs. 7/6/2021 Online Survey Supplemental income can substantially increase a family's standard of living 7/5/2021 Online Survey Street repair in my sub division we have concrete street and crumbling rocks flying up off of the street 7/5/2021 Online Survey 7/5/2021 Online Survey 7/5/2021 Online Survey 7/5/2021 Online Survey The Smithville rd area between Linden Ave and Watervliet has too many boarded up homes and vacant business.

Housing housing housing Who is investing in housing currently? Why not the city/ community? Why not incentives/ programs to promote ownership? Why not rules to prevent so much investment coming from out of state? Rents went up all over the valley after the tornadoes, & the city has not done enough to protect renters. I rent from slum lords. The property management company is probably criminal. A friend contacted the owners of the house where I live, in California, to ask them about selling the house. They admitted to knowing nothing about the poor condition of the house & laughed at my friend. When later we spoke, I said, I paid 10k to live here for a year, in a house that was valued at 20k just some months ago-- of course they have no interest in selling. Turning a blind eye to the problems of the house would be much more difficult if they weren't so far away! Or if the city had some way to hold them accountable, or some incentive or rule to keep residents safe & even encourage ownership. There are a lot of houses that are 7/2/2021 Online Survey suddenly under construction. Who is investing? This should be important to the city leadership & community.

I would love to see these funds be used to help everyone no matter what race, but I do think our small business need alot of help and would love to see up and coming parts of dayton helped out (Wright dunbar/west 3rd street) I think individual neighborhood should also be allocated funds based off of number of residents and the neighborhood 7/2/2021 Online Survey associations can vote on what they would like to use the money on to invest in their neighborhood.

I think fixing the roads, improving walkability in many places and demolishing vacant buildings are necessities for improving Dayton and will likely also result in a reduction in crime. It is entirely too common to see boarded up, vacant buildings and homes particularly in inner, west and northwest Dayton. This not only looks unappealing, but it also creates an easy location for crime to take place such as dangerous IV drug use, drug production and drug sales. By removing and demolishing these buildings it may have an impact to reduce crime, as well as provide addition space for gentrification. Another issue of note is that Frederick Pike, particularly north of Needmore Road, has become a hazard to many. With no sidewalks and broken asphalt this area is not walkable for many residents who do not have a vehicle and must walk to the bus system. In addition, probably an average of one motor vehicle accident per month has occurred recently on this road due to broken asphalt and very little space between the edge of the road and the line painted on the road. The roadway itself is thin, and with oncoming traffic causes people to react by moving over a bit to create room but easily falling into the holes created by broken asphalt and being sucked into the tree line. This is dangerous in many ways, and yet there has not been any prioritization over this repair. It should not take someone’s life for this repair to matter. Creating a better, safer Dayton starts with basic improvements of the area. Basic improvements have such huge impacts on the people living in the area and improve quality of living by providing safe environments. In doing so, people are also less threatened by areas on this side of town and are more likely to visit, move here and open businesses here. The red lined division within Dayton needs to come to an end, and that begins through the prioritization of improving the neighborhoods. It’s time to finally clean up damage from the tornados, demolish vacant buildings and provide ample, safe space for people to walk and get to jobs, build new homes and 7/2/2021 Online Survey businesses and to improve their quality of life. 7/2/2021 Online Survey

I am working with the Scott Koorndyke and others at the Arcade to develop a Homeland Security Center with a SCIF. This would include an alert system for security professionals to inform them of specific events (robbery, assaults, etc) so they can be aware and prepared. It will also serve as a HUB to connect students with local universities homeland security programs, research, and researchers a chance to work together with practitioners. The center will provide trainings, seminars, advising, and more. The SCIF will offer sensitive information to be discussed without fear, and depending on space, can offer long term storage of classified items, and rental work space. At $2000 a day for room rental space, the SCIF will pay for itself. The SCIF can be created with a patented wallpaper product decreasing the costs by over 50%.

Safety is our number one concern. Establishing a safe environment must be priority, including traffic safety. Roads and infrastructure are a close second. People and businesses will not be drawn to the city if our roads and side streets resemble a third-world country. Third priority should be given to cleaning up our neighborhoods, eliminating the blight that drives people to the suburbs. We need to help encourage pride in our community. Safety programs, improved streets and roads, and reducing un-maintained housing stock will help. Property owners must be held accountable for 7/2/2021 Online Survey maintaining the conditions of each property. Roads in downtown neighborhoods (Oregon district, St. Anne’s hill) need improved.

It will be hard work and take more time and money upfront but I am support things like building community relationships, providing easier access to mental health (and thereby fighting against drug addiction and helping the person—not the war on drugs), fighting against systemic racism, fighting against circular poverty, and fighting against food deserts. The list can go on, but each of these points out problems where money has to be used to invest in our Dayton community, no matter who is in need. Thus I am completely against funding for things like Shotspotter, and I do not support no-knock warrants. I do not believe that more police presence means less crime. I believe that the Dayton Police Department should continue to partner and further explore partnerships with agencies and teams like the Crisis Intervention Team and mental health services. I fully support community gardens, beautification, and green spaces (see I Love West Dayton and FiveRiver Metroparks), but do not support gentrification. Ask the marginalized what they need, but also provide them a way to answer and to do so in a timely manner.

In order for the Dayton community to thrive and continue to attract people and businesses to Dayton we must help maintain the cultural and educational amenities that enhance our lives.

Five Rivers MetroParks has also provided healthy and safe recreational places for people to get outside and enjoy nature and exercise. These are just a few that warrant consideration, but all are truly an important part of the "fabric" of life in Dayton. Yes, maintaining the infrastructure is important, but without successful organizations such as the afore mentioned, we will ultimately lose the opportunity to 7/2/2021 Online Survey attract people here.

I would like to see our parks mowed on a weekly schedule and equipment upgraded. It is night and day when you enter a five rivers metro park from a city park.

I would like to see our waterfront(s) developed for leisure use (boating, tours) I feel alot of business and jobs will follow.Also feel the Jobs and Family Services Center needs a MAJOR overhaul.

Need to focus more on the neighborhoods,get rid of the GRAFFITI and TRASH, and work to stop it so it doesn't continue. Murals are great and would be awesome to have something like Blink in Cincinnati. Maybe help for homeowners who need to help fix up their houses, and assistance to neighborhood business owners to grow Downtown is looking great but many of the streets leading in to the city look rough and that's a first 7/1/2021 Online Survey impression. My main concern is driving…high speeds and reckless throughout the city. The intersection on Salem and Wabash is 7/1/2021 Online Survey horrible for red light running and accidents. Speed cameras would be great. Thanks! 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey We need health facilities, grocery stores, and affordable housing within the city limits.

I believe youth and family facilities as well as educational supports, including out of school time programming, and improvements that address the social determinants of crime and health and behavioral health issues are critical. We need economic activities that address people of color, but also low income whites and Appalachians, including funding for low income individuals to be involved in business. We need support for person's pursuing education and marketable skills. Women need help re-entering the workforce, including high quality childcare and childcare 7/1/2021 Online Survey improvement.

If the Flight Line Bike Trail can be a part of the investment in the "Amenities" that would be an immense improvement for many neighborhoods in Dayton. It would just be so amazing if more people desired to live inside the City of Dayton as opposed to the suburbs. We just 7/1/2021 Online Survey need the amenities to attract people here. :) 7/1/2021 Online Survey

Let’s start enforcing city code. It cost little money to take pride in your home and neighborhood. Toilets and trash in front yards. Indoor furniture sitting on porches and yards. Cut and clean up trash in yards. License cats, they run free every where. Fine dog owners who cannot control their dog(s). Then help everyone that wants to start a small business with repairs and cleanup so it helps their businesses and do it no matter their color because everyone should be treated 7/1/2021 Online Survey equal. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of our city. 7/1/2021 Online Survey West Dayton should be the city’s main focus. Too often the BIPOC community is overlooked and ignored.

Dayton! 7/1/2021 Online Survey Mental health support 7/1/2021 Online Survey The city should demolish more houses I think there is a real need to get the water and sewer lines in Dayton updated and have back up systems in place if an issue arises.

I would encourage Dayton to look at the literature on The Learning Cities to see how we can improve the greater 7/1/2021 Online Survey Dayton area by highlighting the many ways in which our city can contribute to learning for our residents. Meeting Date Meeting Location Written Comments 7/1/2021 Online Survey The funds i.e. improvements need to be distributed EQUALLY across Dayton. Not just in certain areas. 7/1/2021 Online Survey I submitted letters from Thurgood-Marshall High School students to the Dayton City Commission. One of the topics addressed in those letters that I did not see listed here was increased translation and English educational courses for immigrants to Dayton. Something to consider. Thank you for offering this opportunity for the community to give input 7/1/2021 Online Survey on funds usage. 7/1/2021 Online Survey Instead of increased funding for police and recruits, invest in social services that will actually benefit citizens and create 7/1/2021 Online Survey a system to prevent crime. Please invest in a local not-for-profit automobile assembly plant. With this investment all other priorities can be 7/1/2021 Online Survey addressed with the increase the areas wealth.

I think your highest priorities right now are going to be investing in opportunities for safe and interesting outdoor (or indoor) community amenities such as neighborhood parks that may be in disrepair or creating neighborhood parks in places where buildings once stood and helping to create avenues for adequate affordable housing. An example would be what Lincoln Hill Gardens is trying to accomplish off of Demphle Ave near Wyoming St. You may even consider giving them a grant of some sort to jump-start it. One of the best times to create a park is after a disaster (financial or otherwise) as many people want something to do but cannot afford to go anywhere except for maybe a park. Studies have also shown that sports and recreation opportunities can keep kids on the right path. I have spent time driving around the West side of Dayton and I cannot honestly say that I have seen a lot of opportuinites there for kids to safely play. There are many abandoned homes there (near apartments where people are living now due to affordability) where they could be razed and a tennis court or a basket ball court or volley ball could be put up in view of the apartments or other nearby homes. Walkability and visibility of a park are important to its success and ultimately to safety. Not to mention that amenities such as these provide a higher standard of living. That's at least a start...then you also have to set aside money for upkeep which I have also noticed is not at its best at Dayton parks (except for maybe Riverscape). A splash pad park that is well designed with high visibility (as our planning office has noticed) will do extremely well. For housing, I'd say you should look to incentivizing developers to create affordable fourplex or duplex units closer to amenities and schools. Over by Westwood Elementary School, there is opportunity to raze some of the homes there and rebuild for families. Or, there are also opportunities on some streets off Wayne to create these "missing middle" type homes for below market rate meant for families. Creating housing in areas that are around more opportunities or creating more opportunities around housing should be key here. Please don't just throw up a large apartment development somewhere nowhere close to easy transportation, food, or parks and recreation. Studies show that people can't grow out of those situations. Besides, how does that solve de facto segregation? Small apartment building or duplexes sprinkled in areas of more opportunity with an income cap is your best bet. No large development for people to fight - the smaller apartments or duplexes may even be able to just fit into zoning as-is. People can grow 7/1/2021 Online Survey with their opportunities, and then as they inevitably grow, they move on. 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey I find health and safety maintenance/improvements to be highly important, esp. for the Police Dept. and the Fire 7/1/2021 Online Survey Dept./EMS. 7/1/2021 Online Survey Refunds to the taxpayers. 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey More high priorities for in school counseling for all children and staff More men and women of color community 7/1/2021 Online Survey activities, group collaborations and programs 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey Defund the police.

The particular race of the business owners shouldn't be considered in determining funding, but there should be a 7/1/2021 Online Survey priority given to those small business owners whose businesses are located in low income areas.

Some of my responses can easily be taken out of context. I wholly endorse supporting small business, especially black and brown - owned new businesses. I also believe that by using the funds to do critical cleanup of blighted buildings, stabilizing sidewalks, structural revitalization and making physical locations where people feel comfortable coming to 7/1/2021 Online Survey shop, eat, etc, is a vital component of supporting businesses. 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey Meeting Date Meeting Location Written Comments 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey Na How about helping people pay their back payments on their mortgages that were laid off for 14 months from their jobs 7/1/2021 Online Survey like me? 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey Fill the damn potholes!

"in qualified census tracts" is defined as what? You see these funds can be a miraculous help if implemented properly. 7/1/2021 Online Survey However, that statement leaves room for interpretation. I need to know what it means.

Tear down blight houses in the Third/Irwin neighborhoods. Provide grants to homeowners in those neighborhoods to support home repairs. Banks won’t give home improvement loans because the housing market won’t support the resale value. Thus, people walk away, creating more abandoned houses. Building stronger neighborhoods will draw more families, more families will bring economic growth to support better schools, better schools/neighborhoods will 7/1/2021 Online Survey bring more workers, building a better community, leading to a strong City of Dayton. Instilling a program like the ambassadors that clean up illegal dumpsites. Paving roadways is also a huge priority. 7/1/2021 Online Survey Thank you. Public parks and recreation areas to keep residents happy and healthy. Could rebuild and revitalize NCR’s Old River Park!!! Could also just develop the area to support more Kayaking, Soccer Fields, Volleyball, Tennis Courts, Basketball 7/1/2021 Online Survey Courts. People come together for sports

I would like to see Wayne Avenue become more of a walkable stretch, with green boulevards north of 35 through 3rd street to slow down traffic near the Oregon District and make the shops by Wheat Penny feel more walkable. I would like to see a designated area for food trucks to set up shop- maybe next to the Levitt Pavillion or a redeveloped park. I would like to see more community garden spaces so that more people can have access to fresh food. Maybe this produce could be sold in a new farmer’s market on the west side of Dayton. Tons of investment on the West side. Bring good jobs downtown. A proper PR team to highlight Dayton events and attractions. Free, family friendly movie 7/1/2021 Online Survey nights at the Levitt Pavillion on nights where there aren’t musical performances scheduled.

In terms of sidewalk repairs, concrete grinding should be employed to repair uneven sidewalks. It has to be less costly than replacing an entire sidewalk square. When sidewalks are replaced, street trees suffer when roots are cut. Sidewalk repair/replacement should not come at the expense of the health and longevity of street trees which are important environmental and neighborhood assets. Park maintenance crews are overwhelmed. As a result, some park trash cans cannot be emptied frequently enough and some shelters are in need of more frequent cleaning and graffiti removal than can be provided. Large, vacant apartment buildings in the FROC area need to be demolished. They attract illegal 7/1/2021 Online Survey dumping, squatters, vandalism, and blight all that is around them. 7/1/2021 Online Survey

I believe that revitalization in West, East, and North Dayton is imperative in providing support to low income and breaking generational poverty. Including homeowner/maintenance educational programs and programs to help repair houses. Substance abuse skyrocketed during COVID. Prevention and therapy programs for the children of Dayton who have been directly impacted by addiction. Northridge and Trotwood are still in disarray from the tornadoes. These communities deserve more help with clean up and repair for their homes. Further, this money should be poured into communities that are generally low income and not a higher income community. Higher income communities have vastly more resources and knowledge. By providing more resources to lower income communities, it can help to 7/1/2021 Online Survey revitalize (not gentrify) the community and create community cohesion. 7/1/2021 Online Survey 7/1/2021 Online Survey

Bring back tax credits and grants for people who want to purchase older homes, repair them and live in them.

As a black owner it is very difficult to acquire the proper funds to help build the dayton community. That being said the abandoned homes with noticeably over grown grass, weeds and damaged foundation should have better access at being brought, our the owners of the property should be fined. This fine should NOT give the owner more than 1 month to fix the property! Not only that as a resident of dayton I've watched 3 out of 5 schools I've attended be tore down. The other two I attended are in trotwood and Englewood. That being said we need more middle schools and high schools, I am aware of the lawsuit and deciding where the funding should be spent, it is not hard to determine as more than half of the schools in the dayton community have been demolished. Also I am aware of teachers walking out, teachers pay should be increased. I also know that is it not healthy to have only one or two hospitals for this whole community. The closest actual hospital near west dayton is 15 minutes away since good Sam was taken away, which means is someone is seriously injured and is about to die they have 15 minutes before they can actually get the proper help. To cut it short we need another hospital, not CARE FLIGHT. Another this we need are grocery stores such as Walmart and Krogers. If we had all of these businesses maybe the crime rate would not be so high, maybe peoplewould choose to work if fast food restaurantswere not their only option and maybe people would not have to travel to another city like myself to find a proper job. There is a saying where if you take away 4 things from a community you have control, that is education, hospitals, banks, and grocery stores.

I am very against picking a particular race or 6/30/2021 Online Survey demographic to help while ignoring everyone else. This will just further divide our community. Really need to address increase policing in our neighborhoods. Speeding, willfull running of stop signs and red lights is extremely common and dangerous.

Perhaps give funds to neighborhood associations for them to 6/30/2021 Online Survey prioritize in their specific area.

We don't need to demolish blighted/ abandoned houses. We need to expand the reap program, and provide assistance to the individuals that are willing, able, and want to participate. Further more, we need to have officers patrolling neighborhoods and cracking down harder on drug houses, and flop houses, in an effort to stop people with criminal mindsets from further destroying abandoned houses.

The arts are the third largest employment sector in the state after 6/30/2021 Online Survey manufacturing and agriculture.

In my mind making Dayton a better city by creating new buildings, replacing old run down ones and improving the parks 6/30/2021 Online Survey and natural beauty of the city is more important to bring more people to like and invest in the city.

Parks, Parks, Parks. The metroparks are amazing and well kept, but there are neighborhood parks throughout the city that NEED help. I live in South Park, and our main park is not in great shape. I work at EJ Brown in north-west Dayton, and parks there are deplorable. Kids and adults both NEED these local parks. Second, the blight needs to go. In South Park, there are completely hazardous structures that create major safety issues.

Internet access. 6/30/2021 Online Survey Dayton needs to follow in the footsteps of other large cities in terms of self sustaining gardens/backyard hens/rainwater collection/green spaces! Three hens take up less space, make less noise, and produce less waste than the average dog. Accessible public use garden plots that won't get taken down to build yet another overpriced 6/30/2021 Online Survey apartment building would also be beneficial.

The city of Dayton needs to invest in the infrastructures that make living in the city tolerable now and into the future: housing, green space, walkable streets with bike lanes, better trash and recycling services. And schools! The city does NOT need to give the police more money for military gear. In fact they should sell it. If police get a single cent it should be for retraining. You cannot claim to want to fix class and racial inequality then give money to the people who harass the poor and minorities simply by doing their jobs as currently understood. In all, plans should not focus on the interests of the urban upper class represented by South Park St. Anne’s, and Oregon. …..who are going all out to get everyone to answer this survey.

What I'd really prefer, instead of any of these other options, would be to invest the money in education.

We should use every dollar of the American Rescue Plan toward making those harmed made whole again and stimulate the growth of small businesses that may have been stunned or stalled during the global pandemic. One proven, simple, and cost effective way to activate spaces and make our city attractive to residents and employers is through "streetscaping." Our city has done well revitalizing vacant buildings, but has stalled in the beautification of our core. It's time to focus on our city's "look" and add interesting, large scale infrastructure. Secondly, and most certainly not least, the city's west side neighborhoods that has been historically overlooked, should receive funding to bolster their comeback that's been stifled by systemic racism. The need for streetscape is also particularly needed at the entry points of downtown. We have the ability to make downtown an alluring, bustling destination. Now that we see less desire in consumers traveling to suburban shopping centers for their goods and a desire of younger generations to live in urban cores, we should make big moves to quickly accommodate these economic interests. The more commerce happening in our core would do wonders for our tax revenues that are currently going to other municipalities. Of additional consideration- Our community leaders should take serious consideration into forming a council or other entity consisting of local, state, and federal elected officials to collaborate the needs and priorities of our community. With Congress thoughtfully restoring earmark funding, our city's advancement simply cannot afford to squander this open door for appropriations that could have a direct impact on top needs lists. It's my understanding each member of Congress may submit up to ten (10) funding requests. The City should work towards forming such a Task Force to make 6/30/2021 Online Survey historic changes. 6/30/2021 Online Survey Funds should not go to police. Please use the funds in the citizens, business owners, or completing a project that has 6/30/2021 Online Survey been out of reach due to funding. 6/30/2021 Online Survey Open Madden golf course!!!

I would request these funds go to improving the area so we can get back to being a diverse and beautiful place to live. We were hard hit by the opioid epidemic and then hit again by the tornados then hit again by covid. We need to attract businesses and welcome diverse commerce back to the city. Demolishing derelict buildings will allow for new developments. But the focus shouldn't fall short of the families who need housing help. Housing costs are skyrocketing and with the recent condemnation of the apartment complex in Dayton the need for affordable and sustainable housing is only growing. Housing initiatives and small business incentives and recoveries would be my focal point for these funds. So I would support any policy that could be linked to helping those two sectors. The homeless population is frankly an embarrassment to the city, not because they* are embarrassing, but because Dayton can do better for 6/30/2021 Online Survey them, housing should not be so unattainable for so many.

Re-open Madden golf course. Kitty Hawk too for that matter. Golf is booming right now, you own the courses, no 6/30/2021 Online Survey reason they should not be minimal money losers worse case. Great exercise, great asset to the community.

In too many areas of the city, including both downtown and in the neighborhoods, there is too much visible physical decay. This has cascading negative consequences, discouraging people from buying homes or living in the city, discouraging business investment, contributing to a sense of hopelessness and emotional disinvestment that can lead to vandalism and both petty and serious crime. I believe it is a really urgent priority. How will we attract events to the newly refurbished convention center, for example, if the whole city looks like it’s decaying? For that matter, how will we attract people from our own suburbs to work, shop, or enjoy our restaurants and entertainment venues if it looks decrepit and unsafe? I’m a downtown resident, and I love it, but I know people who hesitate or refuse to come into the 6/30/2021 Online Survey city because of this. I would like to see the Madden Hills golf course reopened or turned into a arboretum of some kind. The Madden Hills 6/30/2021 Online Survey golf course was a gem in our community.

Streets around the city as a whole are in complete disrepair. However on the west side in particular they are horrendous. Please allocate a good chunk of these funds for repairs to the streets. Businesses got Covid relief money, and still receive on going tax breaks. Use this money to revitalize the community via fixing it. I like the demoing vacant 6/30/2021 Online Survey property idea.

I believe more bike lanes would be very welcome downtown. The link bike system is also not very good. You have to have a smart phone now to use it. There are also too many buses per Capita. There just aren't that many people riding the bus. The roads could be better, especially on Wayne Ave. Also, the wright Dunbar bridge has been out for a long time. The abandoned downtown buildings should be knocked down and the land sold to companies who would be given big tax breaks for coming to Dayton. Then they can build whatever they want.

The conditions in my neighborhood are no different than before COVID. Fact is many people left there jobs because they made more money on unemployment. If you want to make a difference then take bring big businesses back to the city and stop giving handouts to those who live off the system. Start encouraging people to not throw their trash out on the ground and have some pride in our neighborhoods. Last year a group from my church and my self cleaned up around the intersection of Cornell and Gettysburg over a weekend. By the following Wednesday it looked as if we didn’t do anything. Maybe place some community dumpsters where people dump their trash. Maybe have a bulk pickup day once a week so people stop throwing their old mattresses, tv’s and whatnot in these abandoned lots. Ive called 911 for my grandmother several times in the last year. A fire engine has arrived fast but I’ve had to wait for a ambulance to come from the other side of the city or another cities ambulance to show up every time. I’m guessing it’s because the fire department is so busy. How about we add some more medic units? Hell!

I’ve been a mechanic for many years and I know those big trucks are not supposed to last that long. How about we start taking care of the ones that take care of 6/29/2021 Online Survey us?

I think the funds should be used to work with the private sector to salvage some of the buildings that are still able to be used for housing and or businesses. The city should multiple the funds by partnering with LOCAL investors to save what is still possible. By giving some housing and business the city will be able to raise revenues to do the other items on the list We have a housing shortage and many people looking for homes and at the same time have a glut of vacant houses. If the houses stay vacant then sooner or later they will be beyond saving. The amount of money is not enough 6/29/2021 Online Survey to save them all but they could be used to help local partnerships.

The Dayton Fire Department has been cut in half over the past 20 years. Half of the apparatus has been removed from service. The dispatch center was dismantled. The training center was reduced. Fire prevention and community services slashed. Firehouses were closed and are browned out. Professional firefighters have been replaced with less skilled civilian employees. The airport Fire Department is operating with a skeleton crew. If you want to make a positive impact in this city, restore the fire department. The current operating level of the fire department is completely below national standards and at an unsafe level. The citizens are at extreme risk because of political decisions to keep reducing the fire department. Now the fire department is being asked to reduce their staffing by 25% on fire apparatus. This is ridiculous unbelievable unethical and unconscionable . Do not even think about adding additional anything in 6/29/2021 Online Survey the city until you restore what you have already taken away and made things unsafe by doing so. I prefer the money be used to benefit ALL residents of the city. Make the community stronger and the community will lift up the small businesses.

Buy materials such as paint, plexiglass, landscape equipment, and sign posts/steel hardware... Create neighborhood sharing systems with a common locker area only accessible to responsible and enrolled members of the sharing program.

Lifecycle cost is a factor that must be acknowledged. Also public works and transportation are the backbone of any city. The transportation system in the city of Dayton must be adequate to meet the needs of the low-income population striving to get to work or provide resources to their family (ie. get out of the food deserts). Also important is the viability of public utilities in a city. If the utilities are unreliable, residents that are able will leave, which will support the social economic divide seen in many urban areas in this region. Using funds to connect thriving areas with blighted 6/29/2021 Online Survey areas through infrastructure and transportation will strengthen the overall urban fabric for the area.

Community gardens improve neighborhoods and provide a good source for families. I would like to see the city begin putting community gardens in place of blight.

I believe a project or program that would restore the extra $300/week supplement to the unemployed residents of Dayton who are losing this benefit this week due to Mike Dewine"s imprudent decision would be very beneficial to every sector in Dayton and should be high priority. I believe the unemployed, especially the self employed and gig workers, who have lost most or all of their work due to Covid-19, have not had made available to them even close to an equal amount of benefits and resources that has been made available to the other sectors affected by Covid-19 . A vast majority of these unemployed Dayton residents are suffering very much financially and have no option or very few options available to help them recover. The restaurant, retail, and hospitality sectors have received the majority of the Covid-19 help that has been offered and because of that I'm very concerned about the unemployed residents of Dayton. I believe these unemployed residents are the particular sector that have been suffering the most and who in spite of that have received the least benefiits and the one benefit they have been fortunate enough to obtain is now being terminated prematurely due to the impulsive decision by Mike DeWine to end that extra $300/week benefit these residents have been collecting. This sudden termination of 12 weeks of extra benefits is going to greatly impact the unemployed of Dayton, and all of Ohio for that matter, much more than Mike DeWine could have imagined. This benefit was supposed to last until September 4th and those on unemployment expected and planned finacially to receive the extra benefit until that date and I can imagine are very concerned and worried about their finances, bills, etc. I believe that a program that would restore this extra 12 weeks of the $300/week benefit for the unemployed residents of Dayton would be of the greatest help not only to those unemployed but also to the economy of Dayton because almost all of the funds from this benefit would be spent at businesses and establishments in Dayton and this will help all of the residents of Dayton.

My highest priority is taking care of ALL of our community members by providing housing for EVERYONE. This is one of the primal needs that we all share. When people have a secure home, they will be able to fulfill other needs and participate in our local economy. So if this funding could help people that are behind on rent-or provide those renters with a realistic path to home ownership and then help people that do not have a home with a path of home ownership and perhaps a year's worth of utilities paid. Every person deserves a fighting chance to participate in our capitalistic society and it begins with having the basic need of shelter. When people own their homes they will help Revitalize their 6/28/2021 Online Survey neighborhoods This is my absolute highest priority. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.

We need to fund the police and fire departments to bring them back to the level we had many years ago. It seems there is no proactive law enforcement which allows for more lawlessness. Our fire department is so stretched thin, we continually rely on the assistance of our neighboring departments, which will eventually burn our bridges with them 6/28/2021 Online Survey and we will have wait times for simple things like ambulances. 6/28/2021 Online Survey Meeting Date Meeting Location Written Comments No anti-homeless architecture.

A portion of these funds should be used to stabilize existing homes that are structurally viable rather than a demo approach to vacant homes. Further, the city must use some of these funds to develop a city-wide plan for the fair distribution of affordable housing throughout all neighborhoods rather than concentrate low income and subsidized housing in west Dayton. There should be a target for some reasonable percent of every neighborhood to carry its fair 6/28/2021 Online Survey share of supporting the poor. 6/28/2021 Online Survey

Accessible community gathering places rank high for me- revamping parks with a combination of both free attractions and attractions that generate revenue so that they can continue to stay safe, secure, and maintained- AND create jobs. (For example- Washington Park in Cincinnati). Affordable pools and community centers so kids have somewhere safe to spend their time. Some sort of assistance, incentives, or tax breaks to small, locally owned businesses that provide higher wages, access to insurance, tuition reimbursement, and/or 401k’s. Investment in black and brown communities so that there is easier access to GOOD jobs, better resources for all levels of education, affordable housing, and safe policing. Also, city-wide internet to help out families who can’t afford this increasingly necessary luxury. Whatever projects you do, please use local companies to get them done.

Thank you for surveying us and allowing us to give feedback. I would really love additional help with childcare expenses. I am paying 1200/month as a single parent who worked full time on COVID ICU last year, and it is bleeding me dry. Could you add grants to the Preschool Promise ? I make too much to receive much help but I could really use it. I am paying almost 1000/month for an insulin pump and insulin supplies which significantly limits my funds. Maybe if 6/28/2021 Online Survey there were hardship grants I could apply for? [email protected] I felt like many of these categories were vague and hard to understand.

(1) Leverage Dayton's growing tourism opportunities by packaging and partnering: breweries, bike trails, waterway activities. (2) Incubators for targeted businesses: hospitality or cuisine incubators, brewery incubators that will provide start-up funds and clinics to assist entrepreneurs in securing funding and real estate for their ideas. Offer mini-grants for locating in historically-underresourced regions (West Dayton, East Dayton) (3) Assess implementation of Cincinnati's 3CDC model of business-led investment in downtown region for high-visibility projects such as a downtown public pool sponsored by a large local business (P&G does this in OTR for their public pool) (4) Renew or edit the Lot Links program, because as of right now, these properties are not easy/cost-effective for independent investors to purchase (5) Increase visibility/marketing of Dayton as a key site for shipping and distribution due to location near highways and airports My husband and I are both PhDs and live in South Park, Dayton, having moved there due to its decreasing crime, proximity to work and leisure (walkable to work and downtown), and beautiful homes and yards. We have met many great families here who want to buy some of the nuisance properties that the city of Dayton owns, but the process of getting these properties is needlessly complex and financially punitive (having to pay back taxes or enter a lottery system for the property). We want to encourage people to purchase these nuisance properties, not make it harder. Our street has an old YMCA center that has gang tag graffiti on it, unkempt grass, and bottles--and this is across from a children's school! We really need these bad properties dealt with.

While I am in support of funding for various business and housing opportunities, I am concerned that these monies will be spent to support even more Downtown and south of Third St. development. This money should go to expanding the choices in affordable housing in neighborhoods that have seen the most downgrading, from 2008 on, especially in the Northwest area. It would be great if we could see financial support for new homeowners in these areas where housing values have dipped below the point of obtaining traditional financing, as well as multi unit buildings that have rent that is affordable to many of the citizens of the city. Creative use of these dollars could see families owning their own 6/28/2021 Online Survey homes in areas that have been dealing with foreclosures for entirely too long. 6/28/2021 Online Survey 6/28/2021 Online Survey Help the people in the courts.

I would truly love to see an increase in affordable housing. Several neighborhoods have vacant and damaged homes that could be repaired or rebuild and sold for an affordable mortgage to people who wish to live in and contribute to Dayton. We need more residents, especially with more businesses transitioning to work from home only. It would be lovely to see something like the Phoenix Project that we had in the 90s in the Fairground neighborhood. We need less 6/28/2021 Online Survey HUD apartment units and more affordable housing options. Thank you!

Decentralization of City Hall functions into the neighborhoods. I think it would be a good idea for the city to buy some of the abandoned homes and work with existing contractors to hire and train those who are out of work, unemployed and/or persons with felony records to rehab them. Once rehabbed they can be sold at a profit allowing the city to buy additional homes.
