City of Dayton officials have embarked on a "Listening Tour" of neighborhood and community groups to get their feedback and suggestions about Dayton's financial future. City Manager Tim Riordan said he wants to hear the community's ideas on how to address what is really a "structural deficit" -- a fundamental imbalance between the City's revenues and expenses.
The community input will be used to develop a more comprehensive approach to create long-term financial stability. Part of that long-term stability includes investing enough in equipment, infrastructure and technology for the future. The options to be considered range from cutting expenditures by reducing/eliminating services; reducing or eliminating community and equipment investments; raising new or expanding revenue sources; or some blend of each.
Please review the Listening Tour schedule to determine the meeting that is most convenient for you.
