      • May 24 Meeting: Vice Mayor Byington mentioned that Oakwood hosted the May 24 meeting of the First Suburbs Consortium of Dayton. It was well attended.
  • MISCELLANEOUS
    • New Hires: Mr. Klopsch noted that the city recently hired a new public safety officer to replace retiring PSO Scott Cavin, and is in the process of hiring a new public works foreman to replace recently retired Assistant Public Works Director Mike Wenclewicz.
    • Census and Population Estimates: Mr. Klopsch mentioned that he has not received any questions about the recent population estimates released by the US Census Bureau and therefore will not speak on this topic at the regular session this evening.
    • Showcase Oakwood: Mr. Jacques commented on a recent email to Council from a local company interested in showcasing certain parts of Oakwood through a drive-by city tour program. The particular vehicle proposed for this meets state regulations and is therefore permitted to be used for this purpose. However, Council does have the authority to prohibit such a use, but this would require adoption of a city ordinance. Mr. Klopsch stated that the Public Safety Department will keep a close eye on this new business venture to ensure that it does not negatively impact the city neighborhoods.

There being no other business, Mayor Duncan adjourned the work session at 7:26 p.m. at which time Council moved to the regular session.
