Town Talk with the Mayor Hello Neighbors! For my first article in the brand new Ferry Street Newsletter, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Beth Wytoski and I have had the great privilege of serving on your City Council since 2008 and as Mayor of the City of Dayton since 2013. I was raised here, educated in our local schools, and decided to ‘come home’ to raise my family after pursuing higher education in Political Science and Education at the University of Oregon and Pacific University, respectively. My parents, Duane and Leslie Overgard, were also both raised here, as were my grandparents. In fact, my children are the 5th generation of my family to grow up in Yamhill County. I have three daughters with my husband, Chris. My passion projects for the City are: enhanced communication from the City to our residents; improved parks, sidewalks, and streets; continued engaging, inclusive community events; increased citizen participation in governance; and formation of collaborative relationships with regional and state partners. Ultimately, my vision is to protect the community connections this small city offers while supporting the development of a livable community where economic, recreational, and educational resources encourage my own grandchildren to come home to raise their families. Our city operates under a Council-Manager form of government which means that our Council is a policy-making body and staff are responsible for the administration of our policies and ordinances. As Mayor, I work with our City Manager to set the agenda, coordinate goal setting, oversee budgeting, monitor our resources, communicate with the public, and I also run City Council meetings and appoint committees. When the City Council votes, we each have one equal vote and Council decisions become city policy. Each of our Councilors are able to hear concerns, suggestions, and priorities so that our goals reflect the people we represent. We can each be reached through our city website https://www.ci.dayton.or.us/ where you can find more information about our projects and events and also download our app! After more than a year of learning to live with COVID, I wanted to provide an update regarding our community plans. Our staff and Dayton Community Development Association (DCDA) have worked tirelessly to pull off unique, safe events for over a year now and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. We have enjoyed mobile concerts via ‘Bands on the Run,’ unique fundraisers through Fire District delivered meals, holiday traditions through virtual tree lightings, community competitions through light decoration and scarecrow contests, and even brought the Easter bunny around to hand deliver eggs (continued on pg 4) 1

50 Years Ago in Dayton From The Dayton Tribune, June 10, 1971: “THIS an que Fire Bell has been mount‐ ed in the Dayton City Park. The bell originally was hung from a steel derrick in the park about 1907 with the forma on of the first Dayton Volunteer Fire Dept., following a major fire in the city. When a fire occurred the bell was rung to no fy the fire department members. The bell was apparently a temp ng noise‐ maker as it was finally necessary to levy a $25 fine to prevent false alarms.” 2
Historical Highlight Rich in history, Dayton was founded in 1850 by General Joel Palmer and Andrew Smith. Incorporated in 1880, the history of Dayton dates back to Oregon's beginning. Dayton was the first city in the State of Oregon to be designated as a na onal historic re‐ source. Dayton was a major grain shipping center for this area of the valley, before there were passable roads and railroads. Steam boats stopped regularly here, picking up wheat and carrying it down the rivers to Portland. The Dayton (pictured above) was a steamboat which operated on the Willame e and Columbia rivers from 1868 to 1881. Dayton was launched on Sat‐ urday, August 8, 1868.The Dayton operated on the Willame e from 1868 to 1876, most‐ ly upriver from Willame e Falls, including a route on the Yamhill River to Dayton, Ore‐ gon, a er which the steamer was named. In November 1870, the Dayton was report‐ ed to have spent a long me running solely on the Yamhill River, making connec ons at the mouth of the Yamhill with boats on the Willame e River. On April 26,
1871, Dayton carried about 150 persons on an excursion from Oregon City to Dayton, Oregon. In early September 1871, Yamhill County, Oregon was producing large amounts of wheat. Dayton picked up wheat cargoes three mes a week, but could not keep the warehouse clear. On September 6, 1871, by vote of its shareholders, the People's Transporta on Company was dissolved and all of its assets, including the steamer Dayton, were sold to a compa‐ ny organized by the prominent business‐ man Ben Holladay. In the second half of January 1876, Dayton raced the stearn‐ wheeler City of Salem from Rock Island to the mouth of the Yamhill River, with Dayton bes ng Salem.

Town Talk with the Mayor (continued from page 1) and treats to the kiddos around town. While things have looked different, we have all worked hard to make things the best we could and we certainly plan to continue that effort. As our risk level has adjusted, we have welcomed the opening of our public spaces, restaurants, and retailers and encourage you to support our local businesses in any way possible, whether that is dining on-site, ordering to-go, buying gift certificates, or just being kind. The City has supported our establishments with the URBAN program to encourage purchases and reduce utility rates and the Dayton Dollars program, which gave money to residents to spend locally, while reimbursing those vouchers at 150% to boost the business revenue.
We are all doing our best. Please do your part and wash hands, wear masks, and get vaccinated as available so we can bring back more traditions and enjoy the flexibility to plan brand new events. See you around!
Near the end of July, we will host another fun ‘Bands on the Run’ event and are working on those plans now. The DCDA is also planning to host a series of concerts and we are working with other groups to coordinate additional safe summer celebrations. Thank you for allowing me the honor to serve you.
Dayton Fire District I would like to start off by thanking all the people that donated drinks and snacks over the last fire season. Dayton has 80 square miles in our fire district and serves over 6,000 ci zens. In the year 2020, Dayton Fire responded to 627 calls for service. So far this year, we are on pace to do over 700 calls in 2021. With the low rain fall we have had a couple of weeks with a burn ban. Back yard burning could end early this year so don’t procras nate. Burn line # 503‐472‐3344. Help us find you when you call 911. Numbers on your house should be in contrast of your house color. For rural addresses we sell re‐ flec ve Dayton Fire District signs for $35.00. The signs come with pole, sign and installed. We will not be at the park for bike helmet give away this year, but anyone can stop by the sta on and get a free bike helmet.

City Manager Update Welcome to the first issue of the Ferry Street News! We are excited to bring this to the Dayton community! My name is Rochelle Roaden and I am the City Manager. I started in Dayton 6 years ago as the City Recorder/Finance Director. In 2018, a er ac ng as the interim city manager, I was ap‐ pointed by the Dayton City Council. I serve at the pleasure of the City Council and per the Dayton City Charter, I am responsible to the Mayor and Council for the proper administra‐ on of city business. I assist the Mayor and Council in the development and administra on of city policies. I also prepare and administer the annual city budget, manage city employees, manage capital projects, administer city u li‐ es, and other du es as directed by Council. I serve on the Board of Directors for YCOM as the small city representa ve for Yamhill County and on the Board of Directors for the Yamhill County Affordable Housing Corpora on. Currently, the City is working on several pro‐ jects. In December of 2020, the City was awarded a $750,000 grant from the Oregon Department of Transporta on’s Safe Routes to School program. This will fund the construc on of a sidewalk along the north side of Ferry Street between 9th Street and Flower Lane. This will allow students walking/biking to the middle school, high school, and even elemen‐ tary school a safer commute. We are in the beginning stages of this project and will com‐ plete it as soon as possible. While I would like to say it could be completed before school starts in the Fall, it is s ll too early in the plan‐ ning process to predict a comple on date.
The Dayton Footbridge, which was closed to pe‐ destrian traffic in 2018, will be under construc‐ on in the next 12 ‐18 months. Currently, the design and permi ng are underway to replace the midspan of the bridge with a steel truss. This u lity bridge sup‐ ports the water mainline coming into Dayton from our springs and sup‐ ports the sewer mainline taking wastewater from the city out to the sewer ponds. Both the water and sewer mainline will be upgraded with this project. The budget is approximately $4.5 million. If you are interested in other projects the City is involved in, you can read more on our website under the “City Projects” link on our home page. The City has recently revamped the webpage implemen ng a “mega menu” format to allow for easier movement around the site. The City also implemented a new smart phone app last year and if you are interested, links are available on our website. The app provides cur‐ rent news, public safety alerts, access to the Dayton Municipal Code, online u lity pay‐ ments, local officials and city staff contact infor‐ ma on, and other important informa on. I would like to thank the residents of Dayton for your support and pa ence during the pandem‐ ic. City Hall was closed to foot traffic due to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) risk sector guid‐ ance. We recently reopened City Hall and are enjoying seeing everyone again. We are plan‐ ning to reopen the Library this summer. We are s ll not able to rent out the Community Center due to OHA guidance, but we are hopeful that as vaccina on rates increase and risk sector guidance is removed, you will be able to rent it again for your birthday, anniversary, quinceanera, or other events. You can reach me at City Hall or via email at rroaden@ci.dayton.or.us. Thanks! 5
Dayton School District Superintendent Update The Dayton School District is grateful for the support and patience of the community during this very difficult school year. We are planning a full return to school in September 2021. The week will look as it did before the pandemic including late start Monday. We have missed having all of our students attend school each day. Now is the time to register your child for school next year. You can contact the Dayton Grade School Office at (503) 864-2217 or Dayton Junior High/High School at (503) 864-2273. We look forward to seeing all of our students for the first day of school on September 7, 2021.
invests in the education of our children. We are planning to have a celebration event in the fall where community members will be able to tour the remodeled buildings. We are making our buildings more comfortable and productive learning spaces. We thank you for your support this school year and look forward to seeing all of you at our schools very soon. Sincerely,
We are currently in the process of planning a full slate Steven Sugg, D.Ed., of in-person summer learning and enrichment opportunities for students. We will be offering programs in science, technology, and the arts at the elementary level. At the JH/HS level we will be offering credit recovery as well as activities such as hiking, outdoor photography, shop skills, conditioning, art, music, fishing and others. Our goal is to build relationships and academic skills at all levels in a fun safe environment. We have been busy with bond construction work on both campuses this school year and plan to have that all wrapped up in time for the first day of school in September. We are lucky to have a community that

From Public Works: This past year has been hard on everyone in the community. With COVID, snow and an ice storm we are glad that the Winter is over, and Spring is upon us. Public Works strives to meet the opera onal and aes‐ the c characteris cs that make Dayton a good place to live. Over the last year a couple of major projects have been completed. Re‐ placement of the main sewer li sta on and a large sec on of trunk sew‐ er, a street overlay project of 5th St and Main St., and stormwater up‐ grades in several areas. With Spring here Public Works would like to remind our ci zens that now is the me to focus on water conserva on. Increased demand in the Spring and Summer months can tax our water supply. Here are a few helpful ps to help conserve our limited resource. Check every faucet and toilet for leaks. Even a slow drip wastes a lot of water in a day. Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth or washing your hands or when scrap‐
ing the dishes. Install water‐saving shower heads or flow restrictors. Take short showers and shallow baths. Be careful to water the lawn, not the sidewalk or street. Do not use a hose to clean off the driveway, sidewalks or pa o. A broom is be er. It saves
water and keeps oil, grease and engine coolant from contamina ng our waterways. Keep a container of drinking water in the refrigerator, then you won’t have to let the water
run to cool it. Landscape your yard with drought‐resistant trees and plants or those na ve to Oregon.
Check your local library, garden center, or the Na ve Plant Society for ideas. Don’t forget to keep your pet’s water bowl full and place it in a shady loca on. From me to
me, add ice cubes to cool and freshen the water. Always empty the bowl on flowers or lawn. In hot weather, do not water in the heat of the day (12:00 am ‐ 4:00 pm). As much as 50% of
the water can be lost to evapora on. On the opposite end of the spectrum, in an effort to keep maintenance cost down and insure a properly opera ng wastewater system we would ask ci zens to be mindful of what the flush to the sewer system. Please refrain from flushing: Baby wipes or so‐called flushable wipes, Q‐ ps or co on pads, diapers, dental floss, paper towels and ssues, medica on, cigare e bu s, cat li er, hair, gum, cooking grease, fish, condoms, menstrual products, bleach or cloth rags. All of these can cause pump failure, clog sewer lines, and prevent proper treatment of waste. Thank you! Steve Sagmiller, Public Works Director

hoping to be able to stop by and surprise the community, but could that even be possible during a pandemic? As Santa is a regular visitor to town, we’ve had experience with requests like this from celebrities so we went right to work! City Hall staff poured over maps, designed a route, stuffed eggs with toys and treats, decorated transportation for the Bunny and shared the event details. The Mayor was declared the Official Liaison to the Bunny and given the authority to schedOn a particular day, during a peculiar month, in one of our most particularly peculiar years to date, ule his visit in town. The Bunny was on his way! the phone to City Hall was already ringing as we unlocked the door and walked in to begin our day. None of us could imagine who might be calling so early. “Good morning to the City of Dayton,” said the loud and cheerful voice on the line. We heard our coworker that answered the call finally say, “Yes sir, we would be honored.” Our colleague explained that the Easter Bunny yes, that Easter Bunny(!) - had been on the line. He was going to be in Oregon checking on his carrot crops just before the big day, and he had heard about Dayton and the great kids that live here. He was
Finally April 3rd arrived. The Bunny snuck into town and turned Dayton’s Public Works office into his HQ for the day. He inspected the truck and the trailer that would carry him, opened some eggs for quality control, gave an inspirational speech to the assembled volunteers, and the event began! The truck and Bunny trailer wove a path around Dayton, passing out treats and spreading cheer all about town. Kids and adults alike were charmed by the Bunny and happy that he had chosen to visit our little town. We can’t wait to welcome him back again next year. 13

Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend a huge
to Chief Bret Putnam and the Dayton Fire District. In February, DFD generously allowed YCSO to hold In-Service Training in the Dayton Fire Hall. Due to physical distancing requirements in place to combat the spread of COVID19, YCSO has had to be creative to make sure we’re meeting our required certification training hours and DFD’s partnership allowed it to happen. March saw us again utilizing the Dayton Fire Hall to hold candidate interviews. We appreciated the use of the space and look forward to continuing to work together, both in the field and in the day-to-day operations of our agencies.
Dayton Contract City Deputy Rich Broyles (L) chats with two tree-trimmers working at Courthouse Square Park in May. As part of his community policing efforts, Deputy Broyles is invested in getting to know the Dayton community and checks in with citizens, business owners, and those working in the area to help improve quality of life in Dayton.
School is still in session!
Keep Your Cool This Summer
Deputy Broyles would like to remind drivers that school is still in session through June 9, so all school zone speed limits still apply. By law, the speed limit on roads next to school grounds in Dayton is 20 mph between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days. He also reminds drivers that you should stop for children who are waiting at the curb to cross or when a crossing guard is present. Finally, drivers should stop when a school bus is stopped – going around a stopped school bus is not only dangerous, but also illegal.
Juanita’s Cafe y Nieveria (401 Ferry Street) and Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office are excited to announce a partnership to help keep kids cool this summer. Thanks to a generous matching donation from Juanita’s, Deputy Broyles, along with other deputies, will be on the lookout for kids that are out and about, obeying the law or doing good deeds. Helmet-wearing bike riders and skateboarders, looking both ways before you cross the street, wearing your seatbelt, or performing community-minded acts—all of these, if observed by a deputy, make you eligible to earn a free ice cream from Juanita’s. So, let us “catch you” being on your best behavior and you could be rewarded with a free cone! 19
