The overarching purpose of Dayton Together is to explore new approaches to the structure of local government that could lead to a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future for all citizens of Montgomery County. The objective for the first meeting is introduce the Advisory Committee to the two work products of Dayton Together: 1) The Case for Change in Montgomery County and 2) Draft Charter for Montgomery County and Dayton-Montgomery Metro Government. Bro. Ray reviewed the preliminary draft of the Case for Change. The Case for Change emphasized the issues of urban sprawl, growth of poverty and its impacts on families and children in Montgomery County, the decline in manufacturing and the resulting decline in the living wage, loss of local government funds from the State of Ohio, Property Tax Rate of the County and the growth in economic and racial segregation. The Case for Change concluded with statements on economic and racial segregation having a negative impact on the upward mobility of the poorest residents of the County and being a detriment to regional economic growth. In its preliminary view of the Case for Change the Committee made the following observations:
Next, Dan Foley, Paul Leonard, and Valerie Lemmie introduced the Draft Charter for Montgomery County and Dayton-Montgomery Metro Government.

Dayton Together is a 501c4 organization of concerned citizens who have met for the past two years to explore new approaches to the structure of local government that could lead to a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future for all citizens of Montgomery County. What has Dayton Together produced so far? Through many conversations over the past two years Dayton Together has focused on developing two work products:
Dayton Together now believes these work products can benefit from a review by citizens and leaders of the Montgomery County community who are concerned about the future of Montgomery County. What is the purpose of the Advisory Committee? The Advisory Committee has the following purposes:
For example, the group will examine the importance of determining how much savings a restructured government would generate. Many community members want to know under a metro government, can we save money as a result of that change in structure so that we could either reinvest those dollars back in the community without raising taxes, or reduce the tax burden for all. What are the expectations of members of the Advisory Committee? Many concerns, questions, and criticisms have been raised in the Montgomery County community about the Draft Charter. The Advisory Committee is being structured to bring together citizens of Montgomery County with varied interests to have a constructive conversation around the two work products developed by Dayton Together, the Case for Change and the Draft Charter. In order to have this constructive conversation we ask the members of the Advisory Committee to come to the table with an open mind and committed to respectful dialogue with other members of the Advisory Committee. How will the Advisory Council operate? Bro. Raymond Fitz, S.M., past-president of the University of Dayton, has agreed to facilitate the conversations of the Advisory Committee. There are five Advisory Committee meetings scheduled on Wednesdays – April 20, 27, May 4, 11 and 18. All of these meetings may not be need. Each meeting will start at 4:00 pm and conclude by 5:30 pm.
