mately two months since our new City Manager, Jeremy Caudle, started with the City of Dayton. Jeremy has hit the ground running, working hard to support and lead the city and community to continue our progress of making Dayton a livable community. Despite our recent brush with water restrictions, I want to assure the community that city council, the city manager and city staff are all working diligently to find options and funding to improve our drinking water supply allowing for consistent delivery without interruptions, such as water restrictions.
Which brings me to share with you that the city participated in City Day at the Capital. Myself, Mayor Frank, the City Manager, Jeremy Caudle, Tourism and Economic Development Director, Dave Rucklos, Council President, Drew Hildebrandt, and Councilor, Chris Teichroew all traveled to Salem and had the opportunity to meet with State Representative Anna Scharf. It was fantastic to be able to share with Representative Scharf Dayton’s progress and challenges. Representative Scharf was most gracious and helpful. We anticipate being able to work more with Representative Scharf in the future and appreciate her assistance and service.

Dios mío, ha estado ocupado, están sucediendo tantas cosas positivas. Brevemente, han pasado aproximadamente dos meses desde que nuestro nuevo administrador municipal, Jeremy Caudle, comenzó con la ciudad de Dayton. Jeremy ha comenzado a trabajar duro para apoyar y liderar a la ciudad y a la comunidad para continuar nuestro progreso para hacer de Dayton una comunidad habitable. A pesar de nuestro reciente roce con las restricciones de agua, quiero asegurarle a la comunidad que el ayuntamiento, el administrador de la ciudad y el personal de la ciudad están trabajando diligentemente para encontrar opciones y financiamiento para mejorar nuestro suministro de agua potable, permitiendo una entrega constante sin interrupciones, como restricciones de agua.

City Manager’s Update
Greetings, Dayton Community!
I am honored to serve as your new City Manager. Nearly two months into the role, I’m excited about the future of our city and grateful for the warm welcome I’ve received. Prior to joining Dayton, I served as the City Administrator for Lowell in Lane County for four years. My career in local government spans over 13 years, with experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets in large, urban counties as well as leading small towns as a local government manager. What draws me to small towns is the ability to build authentic relationships and see the direct impact of our collective work.
I was attracted to Dayton because of its proactive governance and forward-thinking approach. The city’s investments in infrastructure, master planning projects, and the Urban Renewal Agency demonstrate a commitment to a sustainable future. The historic charm, sense of community pride, and highly engaged staff further convinced me that this was the right place for me. I’m excited to be part of this journey with you.
Since starting, my focus has been on understanding city projects, meeting with staff for updates, engaging with key community and intergovernmental stakeholders, and learning about Dayton. Over the next few months, I’ll be working to close out several major projects, including the Ferry Street utility bridge and Highway 211 wastewater pump station projects two of the largest utility projects our city has completed in years. These projects, funded by a combination of federal and state sources, require careful coordination for final closeout. Additionally, the Finance Director and I will oversee the completion of the fiscal year 2024 -2025 financial statement audit, which has been delayed due to staff transitions with our external auditing firm.
For those unfamiliar with the City Manager role, Dayton operates under a council-manager form of government, as outlined in our city charter. This means that while the City Council and Mayor set policy direction and priorities, I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of the city and ensuring those policies are implemented effectively. My role is to serve the public, and I aim to be as accessible and engaged as possible. If you have questions or concerns, I encourage you to reach out.
Outside of City Hall, I enjoy hiking, trail running, camping, and exploring the Oregon coast with my better half, Leslie. I also recently rekindled an old passion playing the piano, a hobby I had set aside due to career demands.
City Updates
City Council Planning Session. The City Council will hold its annual planning session on March 28, 2025. This session is crucial in setting the Council’s priorities for the coming year. Jensen Strategies will facilitate the discussion. As the same firm that assisted in the City Manager recruitment process, they bring valuable insights into our organization’s needs. The planning session is an opportunity for the Council to align goals, discuss major projects, and ensure the city is on track for future success.
Budget Season & Committee Vacancies. One of my top priorities is launching the fiscal year 2025-2026 budget process. Budget Committee meetings are scheduled for May, and we currently have vacancies on the committee. If you’re interested in shaping the city’s financial future and influencing funding for key programs, consider applying! This is a great way to get involved in local government and contribute to the decision-making process. Feel free to reach out to me for more information.
Dayton Villages Sale. In November 2023, the city issued a request for proposals for the sale of lots 1 through 12 in the Dayton Villages development. The goal was to select a developer committed to building affordable homes for local families. The City Council selected Community Home Builders, an organization in Yamhill County that specializes in helping low- to moderateincome families finance and construct their own homes.
To ensure long-term affordability, the city secured a restrictive covenant on the lots. Two lots will remain affordable at 120% Area Median Income (AMI) for a minimum of five years, preventing flipping. Eight lots will be maintained at 120% AMI for at least 20 years, ensuring affordability for future homeowners or renters. The remaining two lots are dedicated to parking.
The city recently completed the sale, and the gross sale revenues of $310,000 will be allocated toward city construction projects, with final decisions to be made following the Council’s planning session.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement. I look forward to working with you to build a bright future for Dayton.
Sincerely,
Jeremy B. Caudle Dayton City Manager

With limitations on funding, grants have become the primary source and sometimes only source to address community needs. City staff spend a substantial amount of time applying for various grants in hopes we can secure financial resources to replace infrastructure, update plans and maintain facilities.
With grant assistance, we recently completed a housing analysis study that will assist us in updating our housing needs for the next 20 years. Our open house held this past October gave the community the opportunity to comment on direction as we work toward updating our comprehensive plan. We received a grant to update the city’s Transportation System Plan (TSP). We have been working with DKS Associates to identify projects, programs, and policies that will address the community’s transportation needs for now and in the future. To seek feedback on current traffic concerns, desired transportation improvements, and funding priorities, we will be hosting an Open House Thursday, March 6 from 5 pm to 7pm at the Community Center. Join us to learn and comment about the City’s current effort to update its TSP.
We are applying again for a Small Cities Allotment Grant to resurface many of our streets on the east side of town. We are hoping to secure $250,000 that would be used to complete an overlay of seven blocks between 1st and 3rd streets, and Church and Alder streets. We hope to update you on the status of this request in our next newsletter. We have engaged Conservation Technix to update our Parks and Recreation Master Plan that is now 20 years old.
An assessment of current conditions has already been completed and a community survey was sent out to all residents for comment. This will be followed up with additional open house sessions to get a pulse on resident wants and needs.
The upstairs flooring at Palmer Creek Community Center has been replaced with reclaimed hardwood maple sourced from the Archdiocese of Portland and their rectory at St. Mary’s Cathedral The floor risers at either side of the room have been removed providing additional useable square footage. The bright wood really lightens up the space and better matches the new recently installed vinyl plank flooring downstairs.
The Merchant Block Buildings are nearing completion with mid-March being targeted as a finish date. Downstairs tenants and the 12-room upstairs hotel are hoping to be in operation by June. We will update you in the next newsletter as to how things are progressing. Be sure and look behind the buildings to view the outdoor seating area that will front Commerce Alley.
Hopefully by the time you read this, the remodel of the Courthouse Square Bandstand will be complete. The roof and decorative columns were replaced, the concrete base was refurbished and stained, and stainless-steel wire replaces the wrought iron panels for better viewing of performances. Lighting has been upgraded, and we hope to provide a portable sound system for use by Dayton Friday Night bands in time for summer.
Our next event is the 3rd Annual Carnaval de Cinco de Mayo to be held Sunday, May 4 in Courthouse Square Park. The city’s events committee is organizing music, games and local food offerings sure to be enticing to residents and visitors alike. We hope to see you there.

2024 was an eventful year. Dayton responded to 873 calls for service in 2024. We went on five conflagrations in Oregon. Dayton sent a crew and a Type 3 brush truck to the Palisades fire in California. Responding was Jeremy Mcloud, Jeff Crapper and Hyrum Carter. They were gone for a total of 18 days. Two days down, two days back and 14 days on the fire.
Our upstairs sleeping quarters is almost done. There are five bedrooms, kitchen, laundry room, broom closet and gender bathrooms. Our new Hopewell station design is done and out for bid. It will have two bays, restroom, turnout space and a small meeting room.
Lt. Mcloud applied and was awarded for a matching grant from Chinook Winds Casino for new helmets. Cost for 50 new helmets was $15,844.50 total. We are required to replace gloves, helmets, boots, hoods, bunker pants and coats every 10 years.
Backyard burning starts March 1st . You still have to call in everyday for the DEQ report. Phone number is 503-472-3344. Spring will soon be here, with that being said kids will be out and about on bikes and scooters. The volunteers have free helmets for those that do not have one. Please not you have to bring your child to the station for fitting.

Greetings, Dayton!
With March just around the corner, it's time to prepare for the upcoming season! But before we get into all the exciting activities, let's address some important matters together!
One crucial aspect we need to focus on is keeping our water systems efficient. As spring approaches, it becomes even more crucial to ensure the smooth functioning of our water systems. To achieve this, we have initiated a testing program to examine backflow devices. If you haven't joined our program yet, we kindly invite you to do so! For just $30 per year, conveniently added to your utility bill, you can have your backflow devices examined and submitted by the deadline – March 31st. This small investment will provide long-term peace of mind, knowing that our water systems are functioning efficiently. However, if you wish to opt out of the program, you will still be required to contact a licensed Backflow Tester and have them report the submitted results by the deadline.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the testing program or any other concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our friendly team is here to help! Let's work together to facilitate the health, safety, and livability of our community!

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We're thrilled to share some exciting progress on the new Food Pantry!
The building is really taking shape – the framing is complete, the roof is on, and the plumbing and electrical work is progressing smoothly. We're incredibly grateful for the expertise and dedication of our construction partners: Darrick Price of Green Spark Homes is providing invaluable leadership, and we extend our deepest thanks to Leo Excavation, A&T Concrete, RGA Services (Plumbing), Dominguez Construction (Framing), ABE Construction (Roofing), Nice Electric, Ricardo of RG Handyman Services and our volunteer laborers, for their outstanding work. Their skill and hard work are bringing our vision of a community resource to life. We'll keep you updated on the project's advancement and look forward to celebrating its grand opening with you soon!
Public Works
Water
The City is facing water issues due to extremely low levels in the well fields and springs water shed. Additional challenges include cloudy water from air in the springs wells due to low levels. Public Works found and repaired a leak that caused added demand to the system. We were able to move a single customer’s service line to a newer mainline and abandon the old main line from the 1930’s. We have been able to lift the water curtailment now that the reservoirs are operating within normal levels. Public works is collaborating with engineers, vendors, and the City Council to develop a sustainable water plan.
Tree Damage in Court House Square Park
Hwy 221 Lift Station
A tree fell in Court House Square Park, causing significant damage to power and communication lines, park facilities, trees, and the irrigation system. The city is working with an arborist to address the damaged trees and mitigate further concerns, particularly with the condition of some other trees in the park.
The construction of the Hwy 221 lift station is moving forward after delays from manufacturers. The building is on site, and major components are expected to arrive soon, with the lift station projected to be operational in early spring.
Utility / Footbridge
The Utility / Footbridge is now open, and all repairs and construction are complete. New handrails, fencing, and decking have been installed, and a new staircase has been added for easier access. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be announced soon.
Bandstand Repairs
Repairs are underway for the bandstand at Court House Square Park. The site will be active with construction, and there will be equipment in use. The public is asked to give the crew space to complete this work.
Public Works Activities
Public Works is busy with a number of tasks, including fire hydrant flushing, water line blow-offs, catch basin cleaning, and street sweeping. Additionally, preparations for spring events like the City Wide Clean Up and Swap are underway. Dates for these events will be advertised as they approach.
As always if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me dcutler@daytonoregon.gov.

Dayton School District Superintendent Update
State of the Pirate
Around this time of year, school districts are provided with finalized reports of their results from the prior school year including how those results compare to other districts across the State of Oregon. Academically, we continue to push for excellence. From teachers of kindergarten to teachers of seniors, our Professional Learning Communities are using data to develop more rigorous curricula and to improve and personalize instruction at every level. As a result, we are already seeing movement in the right direction, with improved student outcomes and a deepened commitment to meeting students where they are and propelling them forward. We are already looking forward to seeing the results of our efforts from the 25-26 school year!
Notable Improvements
1. Graduation Rates: The graduation rate in 2022-23 showed a remarkable increase, reaching 91.3%, significantly higher than previous years and exceeding the state average of 81%. Notably, Hispanic students achieved a >95% graduation rate, indicating substantial progress.
2. Attendance: Attendance rates, which had declined post -pandemic, have shown steady improvement. In 202324, Dayton’s overall attendance climbed to 90.82%, up from 87.51% in 2021-22.
3. Dropout Rate: The dropout rate in 2022-23 fell to 1.25%, which is lower than the state average of 3.31%. Additionally, students in special education had a 0% dropout rate, indicating strong retention efforts.
4. Chronic Absenteeism: The percentage of students who were not chronically absent rose from 54% in 2021-22 to 71% in 2023-24, showing significant improvement in student attendance.
5. 9th Grade On-Track: The 9th-grade on-track rate was 74% in 2023-24, showing improvement from the 69% in 2022-23. This year (24-25), we are projecting to finish the year with 9th Grade On-Track at over 90%!
6. 11th Grade Language Arts: Scores rose from 15% in 2022 -23 to 39% in 2023-24, closing gaps for Hispanic students (31%) and white students (43%).
7. 3rd Grade Language Arts: Scores improved from 17% in 2022-23 to 31% in 2023-24, indicating progress among young learners.
8. 3rd Grade Math: 3rd-grade math scores rose from 13% in 2022-23 to 20% in 2023-24.
9. 11th Grade Science: 11th-grade science scores increased significantly from 7% in 2022-23 to 24% in 2023 -24.
Despite improved results in many areas, academic proficiency in math, reading, and science still lags behind state averages. While targeted interventions appear to be closing achievement gaps, particularly in attendance and graduation rates for historically marginalized groups, continued focus on literacy and numeracy skills will be essential to sustaining and expanding these successes. Our mission, however, is more than academics it’s about shaping the kind of people our students become. As we reflect on last year’s progress, we anchor ourselves in the core values that define us: community, integrity, and hope. These values aren’t just words on a page; they guide every decision we make and every relationship we build. It was
these values that guided our work in developing our Portrait of a Graduate– our vision that every Dayton graduate who walks across our field at the end of their senior year will possess qualities essential for living a fulfilling and meaningful life–qualities such as critical thinking, collaboration, curiosity, resilience, empathy, and drive. This vision comes to life in our career-connected learning programs, which are rapidly expanding. Our Education Pathway is already preparing future teachers through hands-on classroom internships, reinforcing our commitment to growing our own educators. Our Business Pathway made history this year by hiring its first student intern who now works as an employee of the district while still attending high school. This is drive in action. Our goal is to exponentially expand these opportunities, ensuring that more students graduate not just with a diploma, but with purpose, experience, and momentum toward their futures.
Beyond academics, we know that thriving students need more than strong instruction they need a strong environment. That’s why we’ve been intentional this year about not just maintaining, but revitalizing our facilities. Our maintenance and custodial teams have been instrumental in improving, cleaning, and organizing our schools to reflect the high expectations we hold for our students. At the same time, we are strengthening student wellness and behavior support by reinforcing clear expectations, increasing mental health resources, and separating the junior high and high school so that they operate as distinct campuses allowing us to better serve the developmental needs of each age group.
As we move forward, our work remains centered on one thing: our students. We will continue to set the bar high … by ensuring every student leaves Dayton equipped with the skills, character, and confidence to lead in whatever path they choose… by deepening connections through improved communication ... by taking pride in the work we do, whether that work be improving our facilities or improving our curriculum. And finally, we will set the bar high by leading with community, integrity, hope, and an unwavering belief in our students’ potential.
Our ship is looking sturdy, and our pirate crew has their eyes on the treasure. The best is yet to come.
Estado del pirata
Alrededor de esta época del año, los distritos escolares reciben informes finalizados de sus resultados del año escolar anterior, incluida la comparación de esos resultados con los de otros distritos en todo el estado de Oregon. Académicamente, seguimos luchando por la excelencia. Desde maestros de kínder hasta maestros de último año, nuestras comunidades de aprendizaje profesional están utilizando datos para desarrollar planes de estudio más rigurosos y mejorar y personalizar la instrucción en todos
Actualización de la Superintendente del Distrito Escolar de Dayton
los niveles. Como resultado, ya estamos viendo un movimiento en la dirección correcta, con mejores resultados estudiantiles y un compromiso más profundo para encontrar a los estudiantes donde están e impulsarlos hacia adelante ¡Ya estamos ansiosos por ver los resultados de nuestros esfuerzos del año escolar 25-26!
Mejoras notables
1. Tasas de graduación: La tasa de graduación en 202223 mostró un aumento notable, alcanzando el 91.3 %, significativamente más alta que años anteriores y superando el promedio estatal del 81 %. En particular, los estudiantes hispanos lograron una tasa de graduación >95%, lo que indica un progreso sustancial.
2. Asistencia: Las tasas de asistencia, que habían disminuido después de la pandemia, han mostrado una mejora constante. En 2023-24, la asistencia general a Dayton aumentó al 90.82%, frente al 87.51% en 202122.
3. Tasa de abandono: La tasa de deserción escolar en 2022-23 cayó al 1.25%, que es inferior al promedio estatal del 3.31%. Además, los estudiantes de educación especial tuvieron una tasa de deserción del 0%, lo que indica fuertes esfuerzos de retención.
4. Ausentismo crónico: El porcentaje de estudiantes que no estuvieron ausentes crónicamente aumentó del 54 % en 2021-22 al 71 % en 2023-24, lo que muestra una mejora significativa en la asistencia de los estudiantes.
5. Progreso de 9° grado: La tasa de progreso de noveno grado fue del 74 % en 2023-24, lo que muestra una mejora con respecto al 69 % en 2022-23. ¡Este año (2425), proyectamos terminar el año con el noveno grado en camino a más del 90%!
6. Artes del lenguaje en ingles de 11° grado: Los puntajes aumentaron del 15% en 2022-23 al 39% en 2023-24, cerrando las brechas para los estudiantes hispanos (31%) y los estudiantes blancos (43%).
7. Artes del lenguaje en ingles de 3° grado: Las puntuaciones mejoraron del 17 % en 2022-23 al 31 % en 2023-24, lo que indica un progreso entre los estudiantes jóvenes.
8. Matemáticas de 3° grado: Los puntajes de matemáticas de tercer grado aumentaron del 13% en 2022-23 al 20% en 2023-24.
9. Ciencias de 11° grado: Los puntajes de ciencias de 11° grado aumentaron significativamente del 7 % en 202223 al 24 % en 2023-24.
A pesar de los mejores resultados en muchas áreas, el dominio académico en matemáticas, lectura y ciencias todavía está por detrás de los promedios estatales. Si bien las intervenciones específicas parecen estar cerrando las brechas de rendimiento, particularmente en las tasas de asistencia y graduación de grupos históricamente marginados, será esencial seguir centrándose en las habilidades de alfabetización y aritmética para mantener y ampliar estos éxitos.
Nuestra misión, sin embargo, es más que académica: se trata de moldear el tipo de personas que se convierten nuestros estudiantes. Al reflexionar sobre el progreso del año pasado, nos anclamos en los valores fundamentales que nos definen: comunidad, integridad y esperanza. Estos valores no son sólo palabras en una página; guían cada
decisión que tomamos y cada relación que construimos. Fueron estos valores los que guiaron nuestro trabajo en el desarrollo de nuestro Retrato de un graduado: nuestra visión de que cada graduado de Dayton que recorra nuestro campo al final de su último año posea cualidades esenciales para vivir una vida plena y significativa, cualidades como pensamiento crítico, colaboración, curiosidad, resiliencia, empatía e impulso.
Esta visión cobra vida en nuestros programas de aprendizaje relacionados con la carrera, que se están expandiendo rápidamente. Nuestro Camino Educativo ya está preparando a futuros maestros a través de pasantías prácticas en el aula, lo que refuerza nuestro compromiso de hacer crecer a nuestros propios educadores. Our Business Pathway hizo historia este año al contratar a su primer estudiante en prácticas, quien ahora trabaja como empleado del distrito mientras aún asiste a la preparatoria. Esto es impulso en acción. Nuestro objetivo es ampliar exponencialmente estas oportunidades, garantizando que más estudiantes se gradúen no sólo con un diploma, sino con un propósito, experiencia e impulso hacia su futuro.
Más allá de lo académico, sabemos que los estudiantes exitosos necesitan más que una instrucción sólida: necesitan un entorno sólido. Es por eso que, este año hemos sido intencionales no solo en mantener sino también en revitalizar nuestras instalaciones. Nuestros equipos de mantenimiento y conserjes han sido fundamentales para mejorar, limpiar y organizar nuestras escuelas para reflejar las altas expectativas que tenemos para nuestros estudiantes. Al mismo tiempo, estamos fortaleciendo el bienestar de los estudiantes y el apoyo al comportamiento al reforzar expectativas claras, aumentar los recursos de salud mental y separar la escuela secundaria y la secundaria para que funcionen como campus distintos, lo que nos permite atender mejor las necesidades de desarrollo de cada grupo de edad.
A medida que avanzamos, nuestro trabajo sigue centrado en una cosa: nuestros estudiantes. Continuaremos poniendo la vara alta... asegurándonos de que cada estudiante salga de Dayton equipado con las habilidades, el carácter y la confianza para liderar en cualquier camino que elijan... profundizando las conexiones a través de una mejor comunicación... sintiéndonos orgullosos del trabajo que hacemos, ya sea mejorando nuestras instalaciones o mejorando nuestro plan de estudios. Y finalmente, pondremos la vara alta liderando con comunidad, integridad, esperanza, y una creencia inquebrantable en el potencial de nuestros estudiantes.
Nuestro barco parece firme y nuestra tripulación pirata tiene los ojos puestos en el tesoro. Lo mejor está por llegar.
