In honor of Veterans Day (November 11, 2025), all City Offices in Dayton will be closed for the day. Regular operations will resume on Wednesday, November 12.
Southwest Ohio has received its first significant snowfall of the season, with measurements reaching up to 3.5 inches in some Montgomery and Greene County neighborhoods. This accumulation has created slick and hazardous road conditions, especially on bridges and overpasses. Residents are strongly urged to exercise caution when traveling and to prepare for potential cold weather impacts in the coming days.
At the November 5 Dayton City Commission meeting, Commissioners Judy Dodge, Matt Joseph, and Chris Shaw were honored for their leadership with the Montgomery County Food Equity Coalition, advancing local food security efforts. Miranda Brooks and Bonnie Clling introduced the 2025 Dayton Bosnia Youth Leadership Program, hosting 18 students and three teachers from Bosnia, strengthening international community ties. The commission approved city manager recommendations for improvements at Community Golf Club, including cart path and drainage upgrades. Key legislation advanced included the Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan (Resolution 6899-25) and the 2026 budget ordinances, focusing on city safety and fiscal responsibility. Community members voiced concerns about neighborhood safety, leaf pickup schedules, and road maintenance.
