He said the plan was passed without the board making any changes but there were other conversations at the meeting there was some discussion around the catastrophic nature of that and really much more so about the need to increase our revenue so we don't have to plan for decreasing our expenses," said Enix The plan will save the district $7.3 million a year and they would have to cut mostly personnel because that is 86% of the district's budget This is the district's eighth attempt at a levy since 2005 Enix said if the new levy does pass it does not mean the district would be adding anything new "This is not intended to dramatically change anything that we're currently doing It's really a matter of maintaining our current level of staffing and support and resources that we are accustomed to having while we've been able to operate not in a deficit spending way," said Enix There is a plan for the district to do some construction that will enhance students' education in engineering Enix said the money for that is not coming from the general fund It is coming from a one-time $2 million grant the district received from the state Ohio (WKEF) – On Thursday morning at approximately 9:30 a.m. the Huber Heights Fire Division responded to a camper fire on the 4000 block of Mohegan Avenue the fire was inside a camper and completely destroyed it along with causing damage to the other camper located on the property no one was present at the home or inside of either camper Battalion Chief Culham said that there was evidence that the camper that caught on fire had active residents and the property was being used as a place for the campers to stay temporarily When Dayton 24/7 Now crews spoke with Huber Heights Fire Division first responders were able to reach the owners of the home but were still working to get in contact with the owners of the campers it is difficult to find fire hydrants which caused getting water to the scene of the fire to be difficult No injuries were reported as a result of the fire The Huber Heights Fire Division does not know the cause of the fire and is investigating Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application Ohio passed away unexpectedly on November 25 Ohio daughter of Mark and Mary Jones.  Ava was known for her vibrant personality and endless kindness Ava graduated from Carroll High School in 2011 and went on to Wright State University Ava was a member of the Huber Heights Roosters team Ava spent time volunteering at local animal clinics. Ava was known for her infectious enthusiasm and her natural ability to connect with people Her friends and family describe her as someone who brought light and joy to every room she entered Ava loved spending time with her son Knox and partner Paul she embraced the boy mom lifestyle playing with cars and getting dirty outside Ava also enjoyed weekends at the lake with family and trips to the beach She had a special gift for making everyone feel seen Her presence was a source of comfort and encouragement to many Ava touched so many lives in her short time on earth and Rowan Patterson; as well as numerous other family members and friends A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Dayton Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery.  To share a memory of Ava or to leave a special message for her family please sign the online guestbook provided.  Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors The construction of Ohio’s first Buc-ee’s has been delayed Buc-ees in Huber Heights is being constructed at the northeast corner of Interstate 70 and Ohio 235 The delay is due to a sewer line relocation and plans to reroute electric lines The site has already undergone extensive work to build the new gas station hub "They've done a lot of their site grading the grading for the detention ponds The fuel tanks are on site," said Aaron Sorrell I don't believe they've started to bury them But a lot of that material is on site now." The massive service station planned for Huber Heights is also in the midst of an ongoing lawsuit between the city and Clark County by the Board of Clark County Commissioners against Huber Heights claiming the city's 20-year wastewater treatment services contract with Fairborn might violate similar contracts between Clark County and Huber Heights Sorrell said they are working to resolve the lawsuit between the city and Clark County "It's basically a contractual argument or disagreement between us and the county," he said "We are actively working to resolve that dispute in a more amicable way." Construction has been put on hold due to rerouting utility and sewer lines which crews were concerned about damaging during construction The city recently received Buc-ee’s final drawings for those updates “One of the reasons they halted the site work was because they were concerned about just basically damaging that sanitary sewer line," Sorrell said "And so I think that that work will resume back in the next couple of weeks.” Sorrel said AES Ohio is also working to fix the utility issue to meet the site’s opening date "Certainly this was an unanticipated delay," he said "They they haven't indicated to us one way or the other how big of an impact it is on their starting date or their opening date." He also says the new gas station is expected to bring jobs and economic growth to Huber Heights when it opens a year from now "We're hopeful that it will bring additional people to Huber Heights also be able to showcase what a what a great city we have and then just be an economic development driver," he said Ohio (WKEF) --Dayton 24/7 Now is investigating after three local families say their babies came home from a Huber Heights daycare with shaken baby syndrome Three different families have been working with the Huber Heights Police Department after their children have suffered from brain bleeds and shaken baby syndrome after attending Early Beginnings Child Care and Learning Center on Shull Road “You don't think someone is going to hurt your child especially when you take them somewhere where that's what they specialize in and that's what they do,” said Emily Theo started attending Early Beginnings Child Care and Learning Center on July 8 One day Emily went to visit him on her lunch break and he wasn’t acting like his normal self "It was his bottle time and when it's time to feed he is hungry he is a hungry guy so I asked the head teacher 'hey has he been acting this way because he wasn't this way when I dropped him off?' and she goes 'umm I don't know 50 minutes later the daycare called saying Theo threw up his bottle After a couple of days monitoring his symptoms Theo’s parents took him to Dayton Children’s where the doctors said that they wanted to do head to toe x-rays and a scan on Theo's head "I mean jaw to the ground just insane daycare people don't do that kind of stuff like no," said Emily "Honestly I was a bit worked up because he was throwing up why are we putting him through all of these tests?" "She came in and told his dad and I that there was bleeding on his brain and that amount of blood only comes from being physically shaken,” said Emily Theo ended up having brain surgery due to that bleeding on July 18 just 10 days after starting at the daycare Children’s Services got involved asking Theo’s parents a variety of questions including questions about Early Beginnings news broke that another child had been injured “It's difficult to talk about,” said Meghan “I took my three children for a wellness visit at the end of July and they measured her head and said that her head was measuring big and that they wanted me to go in for an ultrasound.” Andi’s parents took her to get that ultrasound and discovered that she had two separate brain bleeds “I do have two older children so I'm asking the doctors did a toy hit her What happened was intentional,” said Meghan Police and social workers began asking Andi's parents questions similar to what they asked Theo's and Meghan could tell something was wrong by the social worker's face "The social worker that we spoke to in the hospital they start asking questions about you know your life because they want to know but when I mentioned Early Beginnings I could tell something was off," said Meghan but they will have to be monitored for the coming months "At this point we're just trying to get the word out We're in that mode where we want to get justice for our kids and want to make sure that no other babies get hurt," said Emily The Huber Heights Police Department is actively investigating these incidents so they couldn’t sit down for an interview but a Lieutenant did tell Dayton 24/7 Now’s Lydia Bice that their department takes crimes against children very seriously and they thoroughly investigate them to determine if there’s any wrongdoing Bice called Early Beginnings Child Care and Learning Center on Thursday Bice was also told on Thursday that the woman accused of the abuse at Early Beginnings is

Battalion Chief Robert Williams reported that upon arrival there was heavy smoke coming from the back of the home and all occupants were able to evacuate The fire was coming from an upstairs bedroom and Williams said that the fire was fairly easy to extinguish there was a considerable amount of damage to the home and the residents will not be able to live there for the time being the animals that resided in the home are unaccounted for The Dayton Fire Department and Butler Township came to Huber Heights aid in putting out the fire and the fire is still under investigation as the cause is still unknown The city of Huber Heights has a new city manager This comes after a turbulent three plus years of plugging in selectees and interim managers The latest was former city manager Rick Dzik who left following a plea of guilty to operating a vehicle while impaired He spoke with WYSO’s Kathryn Mobley and explained some of his top priorities This story has been lightly edited for length and clarity I think I'd like to streamline some of our processes I think we could do a better job on some of our purchasing workflows Bringing things up to the current digital age we're trying to refocus some of our policy manuals We're trying to get policies in place and get them in place digitally so employees have easier access to them We're trying to provide some better access to our employees for how to find out what their benefits are focusing on what we can do to make the employees life easier and better here is one of our focuses affordable housing to people that are coming to the region and then also to provide some type of tax base So trying to bring some other businesses to the city that would actually help with some of the tax base expansion that we're looking for council recently approved to move forward with the new housing development we've got a few actually in the works that they've recently been looking at and approving And then we've got a couple others that are coming MOBLEY: Talk to me about some of those housing developments RUSSELL: The north end of the city is obviously our bigger area where we have room for expansion We've got a couple areas up there where they're looking to put around the new Carriage Trails subdivisions They're looking to put in some more apartments I think we approved 168 new units up there at Carriage Trails and Brent Pike in the middle of the city We've got an apartment complex coming around the new library there are looking to be closer to walking distance to certain amenities I think there's also a portion of the newer generation that's looking to not get locked into a house I think this concept of these rental apartment areas are a bigger push now because I think a lot of people want to have some flexibility to be able to move about and do the things they want to do And a lot of people just don't want to have the upkeep that comes from owning a house we've got the entertainment district around Rose Music Center along executive there where I think they would really like to have some walkable housing where people could walk to restaurants and the entertainment things and then MOBLEY: What about the city's infrastructure Will it support these types of developments I mean I think we've done a really good job I think the council's done a great job over the years So they've done a good job of addressing some of the aging infrastructure down south They've started this waterline replacement project which has been going on for a few years now And we still continue to do that to upgrade some of our aging systems in the south I know the biggest gripe when I took this job was traffic But we're trying to expand traffic on Troy Pike I know it's been a little longer than most people would have liked We're trying to expand and then we're going to have to probably look at the same thing on Brant Pike eventually So the biggest push for us next is to kind of look at what city services need to do as far as expansion goes I think we're not far from looking at maybe adding more city services I know we've got some expansion out to the east as well So we're trying to take care of some sanitary sewer and water lines that way as well MOBLEY: Huber Heights doesn't have any tax levies on this coming November's ballot RUSSELL: So that would be the 0.25% renewal for police and fire is what we would add to the ballot in 2025 MOBLEY: And how much money does that roughly generate for those two departments and then about $570,000 would go to the general fund Buc-ee's, the widely popular Texas-based gas
