RE:  Weekly Report

Administration Overview

The January 2, 2019 Council Meeting.

 

The City has released its Request for Proposal seeking general banking services.

 

Ben and I received some updates from the Developers of the Gateway project.  We met face-to-face to review some proposed designs of a new project they are looking to start in 2019.  It appears they are getting closer to submitting their plans to our Planning and Zoning Board for review.  I will be sure to continue to give you updates as we get closer to that time.

 

The Dayton Housing Authority is accepting bids for the Executive Director position.  Resume’s are due by 4:00PM February 8^th to the Dayton City Building.

 

Banking Service bids are due to the City next Friday February 1^st.  I will not be brining this forward at the February Council meeting as I will not have had time to review in appropriate manner.  I will submit a report in advance of the March meeting.

 

I will be out of the office next week so please direct any questions related to the upcoming Council meeting to other staff members as I will have limited access to my email.
