PUBLIC HEARING/ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2014-02 - ABANDONMENT OF
BUDD STREET
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider abandonment of
Budd Street.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that staff had requested the abandonment of
Budd Street, an improved street running east-west from South State Street to Kings Highway and
located north of Weyandt Hall at 5 East Reed Street, and south of the former Dover Public Library
at 45 South State Street and the City-owned property adjacent to South American Avenue. He noted
that the abandonment of Budd Street would resolve mapping issues and lay the foundation for a
Página 2
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 2
potential re-subdivision or sale of the former Dover Public Library site. He stated that part of this
right-of-way appears to have been abandoned years ago, possibly when Weyandt Hall (formerly the
WSFS Building) was built; however, staff research and current mapping indicate that a ten foot (10')
wide portion of Budd Street exists and is improved, since it includes the sidewalk area in front of
the former library site.
Mr. Koenig reminded members that, during their meeting of January 13, 2014, the Utility Committee
recommended approval of the request for abandonment of the subject right-of-way with conveyance
of five feet (5') of said right-of-way to 5 East Reed Street, 45 South State Street and Tax Parcel
Number ED-05-077.05-04-36.00 on South American Avenue, currently owned by the City of Dover,
with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel being reserved for the City, as
recommended by the Planning Commission.
Councilwoman Williams declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to
speak, Mrs. Williams declared the public hearing closed.
Mr. Hare moved for approval of the request to abandon Budd Street. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Bonar absent),
Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-02, as follows:

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 27, 2014
The Utility Committee met on January 27, 2014 with Chairwoman Williams presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 4
Explanation of PJM (Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland Power Pool) Reactive Service Charges -
Robert Trinnear, The Energy Authority
Mr. Robert Trinnear, The Energy Authority, reviewed a Presentation - Reactive Service Charges
Update, January 2013. In recent months, the TEA/NAES Reports provided to members have
reflected actual charges for reactive services that were much higher than budgeted. Mr. Trinnear
stated that reactive services are used to provide voltage control on the power grid, basically allowing
power to get where it needs to go. Reactive service charges are billed to generators and load-serving
entities, such as the City of Dover.
Mr. Trinnear stated that the allocation change in the market tariff went into effect December 1, 2012.
PJM (Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland Power Pool) projected that the impact of this rule change
would be small and the change was not modeled. He explained that reactive service charges were
previously allocated across the whole PJM region but are now allocated directly to the Delmarva
Power and Light (DPL) zone, which is the Delmarva Peninsula and includes the City of Dover.
Mr. Trinnear indicated that the more targeted allocation has had a very large monetary impact on the
City of Dover and entities like Dover. Referring to the Reactive Services Invoice Amount on Page 4
of the presentation, Mr. Trinnear stated that the chart illustrates the significance of the tariff change
and its impact on the City. The average monthly reactive services charge in 2012 was $45,000;
however, monthly charges were as high as $370,000 in 2013. In December 2013, the charge was
approximately $204,000. Mr. Trinnear stated that many entities affected by the new tariff allocation,
like the City of Dover, have been very vocal in asking for a change in the tariff due to its massive
impact on cities and utilities.
Mr. Trinnear advised members that, in addition to the tariff change, during the previous week PJM
had provided a presentation outlining a $25M to $30M error in the calculation of reactive service
charges, equating to an approximate 12% error. Between August 2013 and December 2013 there
was an error in the PJM allocation method for reactive service charges, which resulted in PJM
paying generators who should not have been receiving money. As a result, load-serving entities like
the City of Dover will receive an estimated 12% credit. He indicated that the City of Dover should
anticipate the entire 12% credit on the January invoice; however, it is possible that the amount for
August through October may be credited in January, and the amount for November and December
may be credited in February. Since PJM has corrected the procedural error, the City of Dover should
notice a reduction in reactive service charges in the future.
Mr. Trinnear informed members that there will also be transmission upgrades in the DPL zone in
late spring 2014 which should help mitigate many of the reactive service charges. In addition, he
noted that PJM was trying to ensure that more of these charges are allocated to a pricing mechanism
so that entities are able to hedge this risk and these charges, rather than receiving a bill they cannot
do anything about.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Trinnear explained that PJM has a stakeholder process in which
rules are considered by committees consisting of generators and load-serving entities. The tariff
change was approved through the stakeholder process in an effort to create fairness across the whole
PJM region.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 5
In response to Mrs. Williams regarding the impact when the City sells electricity from its own
generators to PJM during August and January for peaking power, Mr. Trinnear stated that the City
does not receive a great deal of reactive service charges for these generators. He explained that the
City of Dover was not the source of the problem; however, there are transmission and voltage issues
within the DPL zone south of Dover that affect the City since it is part of the DPL zone. He
indicated that the City’s generators would not be able to greatly reduce these charges. Mr. Trinnear
advised members that PJM was well aware of the high reactive service charges in the DPL zone and
was investigating possibilities for mitigating this.
Responding to Mrs. Williams regarding future decisions pertaining to the reactive service charges,
Mr. Trinnear stated his opinion that any solution would likely improve things on behalf of entities
like the City of Dover, as these entities had been extremely vocal about this issue and were trying
to effect change.
Mrs. Williams questioned whether the impact of the tariff change was known when the decision was
made to implement it. Mr. Trinnear indicated that when he asked PJM this directly, they responded
that it was not known; however, PJM could not simply repeal the measure when the impact was
realized because all decisions are subject to the stakeholder process. He informed members that this
matter was currently being considered again through the committee process.
In response to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Trinnear indicated that he did not know whether there was any
opposition at the time the rule was made or if there was a minority position counter to what was
passed. He expressed his opinion that, in hindsight, if this type of impact had been projected, the
rules would not have gone into effect. He stated that this was not considered a major issue, so it was
not modeled and the impact was not foreseen. Not much attention was paid to the change until its
impact was felt.
Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Trinnear stated that The Energy Authority (TEA) was working with
PJM directly to voice the City of Dover’s position that additional changes must be made to the
allocation of the reactive service charges. He stated that, as the stakeholder process progresses, he
would inform the City if he felt a resolution from City Council would be effective.
In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Trinnear indicated that a tariff revision was expected by mid-year.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that, with all of the
heightened expenditures for the reactive service charges, the City had spent approximately $500,000
more than anticipated through the end of December. He felt that the overage should not reach $1M
for the year, since there had been an adjustment.
In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Trinnear stated that he was unsure what kind of improvements
Delmarva Power & Light would be making; however, it was anticipated that the improvements
would be complete by late spring and should mitigate reactive service charges quite substantially.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 6
Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Trinnear concurred that putting Unit 3 on spinning reserve for
reactive control would have little to no impact on the reactive service charges, since the problem
does not lie with the City of Dover.
In response to Mr. Snaman, Mr. Trinnear reiterated that reactive service charges are allocated by
zone and, although the City of Dover does not contribute to the problem, the City is part of the DPL
zone and there are voltage issues within the zone. He expressed his opinion that it would be too
complicated to allocate the charges by individual node or city, but he was unsure of the exact
methodology.
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Trinnear clarified that the credit would only cover the 12% error that
occurred between August and December 2013, not the entire $500,000 since some of that overage
amount was the result of the charges being higher than the previous year due to the allocation
change.
In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Trinnear stated that, based on what the City paid from August to
December 2013, he estimated that the 12% credit would equate to approximately $120,000; although
it could be higher because the DPL zone had one of the highest rates for reactive service charges.
By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report,
seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Bonar absent).
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
JANUARY 27, 2014
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on January 27, 2014 with Chairman
Lynn presiding.
Review of Proposed Acceptable Use Policy (Information Technology)
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the purpose of the Acceptable Use Policy
(Information Technology) was to provide general guidance for all employees, as well as contractors
and other “users” of the City’s communications and computer systems. This policy, if adopted,
would be applicable to anyone accessing the City’s network. It would not apply to the Police
Department, Fire Department, or Library except for those individuals who log on to the City’s
network. He noted that this matter had come up during the City’s financial audits and in relation to
insurance renewals and it was desired to ensure that the City was doing everything possible to protect
the computer network.
Staff recommended adoption of the proposed Acceptable Use Policy.
Responding to Mr. Rushe regarding the lack of a social media policy, Mr. Koenig stated that staff
had attempted to bring forth such a policy approximately two (2) years ago and encountered some
issues that complicated that process. He stated that if a social media policy were brought forward
again, it would not be part of the City’s Acceptable Use Policy for information technology.
Página 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 7
Mr. Slavin inquired if a hard copy signature would be required on the form, noting that as an
employee of the State of Delaware, he is required to accept a similar policy each time he logs in and
inquired if the City required tacit approval upon sign-in. Responding, Mr. Andy Siegel, Information
Technology (IT) Director, explained when users log into the network they are greeted by a banner
that notifies them that they are signing onto a City network and they must agree to the policies set
forth by the IT Department.
Mr. Hare noted State employees are unable to access sites not approved by the State and inquired
if this was the case in the City. In response, Mr. Siegel stated that the City has had internet filtering
for many years; however, to this point there had been no policy to specifically address what
employees can or cannot do. With the new policy, an employee would be aware that they would be
breaking an actual policy if they access a prohibited site.
Mr. Bonar noted that the State had IT training programs available. He inquired if staff had looked
into providing this type of training for the City’s internet and computer users and if there were fees
involved. Responding, Mr. Siegel explained that approximately two (2) years ago staff had put out
a program entitled “Securing the Human,” which included approximately 15-20 minute vignette
videos about aspects of computer security, internet security, and home computer security. In the past
year, staff had renewed this program and planned to provide this information to users again.
Mr. Bonar noted that users of State systems are required to successfully pass a quiz in order to be
receive certification. He encouraged Mr. Siegel to contact Mr. Kevin Wright, Delaware Department
of State, for further information.
The committee recommended adoption of the Acceptable Use Policy, as recommended by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved adoption of the Acceptable Use Policy (Exhibit #1),
seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Bonar absent).
Request for Continued Staff Support - Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP)
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City had received a request from the
Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) to continue staff support to the DDP through the end of
Calendar Year 2014. Currently, staff support includes one (1) Administrative Assistant and one (1)
Downtown Coordinator. Since these employees report to the Mayor, Mr. Koenig did not offer an
opinion regarding the staff support; however, he recommended that continued staff support be tied
to fiscal years rather than calendar years for budget purposes.
The City Manager recommended that the Committee receive verbal testimony from the DDP
representative attending the meeting and then formulate a recommendation to City Council based
on the testimony of any interested parties. He reiterated that any recommendation should be tied to
fiscal years rather than calendar years.
Mr. Lynn advised members that he reviewed the City’s Charter and Code of Ordinances and stated
his understanding that the employees in question are shared between the Economic Development
Office and the DDP and serve under the Mayor’s umbrella. Confirming, Mr. Koenig stated that in
the Fiscal Year 2013 budget, Council assigned the Economic Development staff to the Mayor’s
Office.
Página 8
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 8
Mr. Lynn stated his concern regarding whether the Committee should have a role in assigning duties
or responsibilities to these individuals. He questioned how it was under the purview of Council if
the Mayor elected to share these employees with the DDP, separate and apart from the budgetary
impact, which he noted would come under the purview of Council. He questioned if this matter was
appropriate for discussion by the Committee.
Mr. Koenig stated that the Charter specifically assigns police officers to the Mayor and that Council
does not have authority over the Mayor in this regard. Council acted previously to assign the
Economic Development Office positions to the Mayor and it was his opinion that Council has the
ability to weigh in on how they are assigned if Council so chooses.
Mr. Lynn stated his position that, given that these were Mayoral employees, members would be
specifically precluded from interfering except in regard to the budgetary fallout from the decision.
He cited Subpart A - Article III - City Manager, Section 36 of the City of Dover Charter which states
that “Except for the purpose of inquiries, and investigations by council under section 39, the council
or its members shall deal with city officers and employees who are subject to the direction and
supervision of the city manager solely through the city manager, and neither the council nor its
members shall give orders to any such officer or employee, either publicly or privately.” Given that
these employees report directly to the Mayor, rather than the City Manager, he did not feel that the
Committee could make this decision.
Mr. Hare agreed that “giving orders” was beyond the purview of the Committee. It was his
recollection that during the FY 14 budget process, a certain amount of funds was appropriated
through June 30, 2014 for these positions and that next year, if the Mayor had funding in his budget
to allocate for the following six (6) months (through December), Council had no say in this matter.
However, if the Mayor would require additional funds to be added to his budget, then he felt that the
Committee should discuss this.
Mr. Koenig stated his recollection that when the FY 14 budget (beginning July 1, 2013) was
developed, $162,400 was transferred to the DDP, which included funds to hire staff. The DDP asked
to use City staff in the transition period to carry them through adoption of the FY 14 budget and
subsequently submitted an additional funding request to carry the DDP through the end of calendar
year. He stated that funds sent to the DDP were tied to specific expenses. He noted that the adopted
City budget includes a staff budget for Economic Development. Mr. Koenig advised members that
the Economic Development Office does not have many operating expenses and that 95% or more
of its budget is driven by personnel costs associated with the three (3) employees. He stated that the
DDP will again be asking for funds for the future and had submitted a draft request to the City
Manager late last week regarding the FY 15 budget.
Mr. Hare questioned if additional funds were being requested for staff transition and inquired what
happened to the $162,400 that was allocated for the DDP to transition to their own staff.
Mr. Lynn expressed his understanding that the DDP was not asking for any expenditure of funds
from the City at this time but simply that the City allow for the Mayor to share his employees. He
noted that the budgetary impact would be considered as Council goes through the budget hearings.
Página 9
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 9
Mr. Hare inquired about the status of the DDP in regard to hiring their staff and questioned if the
City had committed for City staff to serve through June 30, 2014 in the FY 2014 budget process.
Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that the original request was for support through June 30, 2013;
however, Mr. Koenig and the Mayor had agreed that the DDP needed a transitional period and
extended staff support through the end of Calendar Year 2013. The DDP had since asked for support
through Calendar Year 2014 and this had prompted the current request.
Mr. Slavin stated his appreciation to Mr. Lynn for raising the issue that these were the Mayor’s
employees and reminding members of the Charter provisions. He stated that, as a Council, members
had always been very careful about this clause in the Charter and he recalled previous difficulties
with Council members who went directly to subordinate members of the staff of Council appointees.
Noting that this provision was put in the Charter for a reason, he suggested that members respect it
and stated that these were the Mayor’s employees to do with as he sees fit. Mr. Slavin acknowledged
that there would be budget issues and felt that the proper venue for this matter would be when the
budget is discussed later in the year.
Noting Mr. Koenig’s comment that he and the Mayor had extended the period of this loan of staff
by six (6) months, Mr. Slavin questioned if this decision was based on the Mayor’s authority to
extend and the City Manager’s advice. Concurring, Mr. Koenig stated that he and the Mayor
discussed this and felt it was appropriate to extend support through Calendar Year 2013. He
explained that this was a mutual understanding between himself and Mayor Carey.
Since a mutual decision was reached between the City Manager and the Mayor previously,
Mr. Slavin inquired why there was now a difference of opinion. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that
the specific request was for support for Calendar Year 2014, which crosses multiple budget years.
He noted that he had no feeling one way or another if staff was to be extended to the DDP; however,
he requested that any extension granted be based on the fiscal year versus the calendar year.
Mrs. Williams stated that pieces of history were missing in the discussion. She recalled that the DDP
had an opportunity to take over the staff and chose not to do so, and the staff were brought under the
City’s auspices and placed under the Mayor so that they would not lose their jobs. The employees
were then loaned back to the DDP for half a year while the DDP interviewed their own personnel.
She noted that the DDP’s personnel were not in place; therefore, the City was in the same position
it was in two (2) years ago. She felt that the City was “going around in circles” and spending a great
deal of money.
Mr. Hare stated that he had no problem allowing staff to continue until the end of June and that he
was under the impression that they were already covered until June 30, 2014. It was his
understanding that the DDP would hire their own people with the $162,400. He noted that the
situation following June 30, 2014 would be discussed in the upcoming months. He concurred with
Mr. Koenig’s request for any extension to be granted on a fiscal year basis. Concurring with
Mrs. Williams, he inquired at what point a conversation should be held with the DDP, to be
informed of their status in regard to staffing and funding.
Mr. Bonar stated that the employees who had been moved under the Mayor’s purview were the
economic development arm of the City and also part of the economic development arm in the DDP
that is focused primarily on the downtown area, both of which had performed admirably. He noted
Página 10
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 10
that it had been a good partnership in that the DDP had brought in several millions of dollars and had
“redone” the North Street area. Through the efforts of the DDP and Mr. Gary Patterson, member
of the DDP Board of Directors, the Governor had committed to seeing more money funneled to
downtown areas of Delaware, including Wilmington, Dover, and other possible locations, which
could be used to renovate downtown, as mentioned in his State of the State address. This funding
would be decided by the legislature. Mr. Bonar stated that the conundrum was whether two (2)
economic development operations were needed in the City or whether all efforts could be combined
into one (1) operation. He referenced remarkable events that had occurred at the Garrison Tract over
the last year, noting that Uzin Utz was nearly ready to break ground, Calpine was “churning along,”
and infrastructure was being developed through the efforts of the City’s Economic Development
Office. At the same time, he stated that there was corridor development in the downtown area akin
to the Riverfront Development Corporation in Wilmington, which would bring more money to the
City for downtown development and enhance the City’s tax base. Mr. Bonar stated that, with the
new budget process, it must be decided whether to continue in this vein or streamline operations,
combine or separate efforts, or eliminate one (1) of them. He cautioned members that the City
should not partner with Kent County for economic development because at some point the County
and City would be at odds when trying to bring new business to the region. He felt that this
conundrum should be solved in this budgetary cycle and that a decision should be made regarding
which direction should be taken so that all would know where economic development was going for
the next several years.
Mr. Hutchison stated his desire to ensure that the Council supported the DDP’s request. He
questioned if Mayor Carey was in favor and if funding was in place to extend staff support as
requested. Responding, Mayor Carey stated that funding was in place until the end of Calendar Year
2013; however, he was unsure if the two (2) employees were funded under the City or the DDP.
Mr. Koenig stated that all three (3) Economic Development Office personnel were funded in Fiscal
Year 2014 through June 30, 2014 as part of the adopted budget; therefore, there would be no
budgetary impact. He stated that this was a policy issue.
Mr. Hutchison suggested that the Mayor create a master plan for the partnership and its future
regarding the issues and concerns expressed during the meeting.
Mrs. Williams agreed with Mr. Bonar regarding the existence of a “conundrum;” however, she stated
that the City had other economic development partners, including Kent County and the Delaware
Economic Development Office (DEDO). She felt that once an approach was determined,
memorandums of understanding should be developed to avoid “crossing paths” and duplication of
efforts. She noted that there were four (4) economic development groups at present, and only
individuals who had been around for some time or were directly involved in economic development
could tell the difference between the four (4).
Mr. Lynn disagreed with the belief of some Council members that there was a conundrum and felt
that all entities were working toward common goals. He advised members that the Appendices to
the City’s Code of Ordinances are severely out of date, do not reflect the existence of the DDP, and
continue to make references to entities that are defunct, and the funding mechanisms for the Business
Improvement District (BID) are operating under appendices in the Code that are no longer valid. He
requested that Mr. Koenig address this issue.

Mr. Gerald Street, 39 Hazel Road, member of the DDP Board of Directors, stated that
Mr. Lou Colón, Executive Director of the DDP, had planned to attend the meeting but Mr. Street
advised him that he would attend instead, stating that he had a broader understanding of the DDP’s
circumstances and was very sensitive to people spending time away from their families at night
unnecessarily.
The committee recommended acceptance of the City Manager’s recommendation to extend it for a
fiscal year since the employees are already covered and then, in the future, discuss it with the Mayor
during the budget hearings. City Clerk’s Office Note: Mr. Slavin abstained from voting due to his
position as the Governor’s appointee on the DDP Board of Directors.
By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Bonar absent).

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 10, 2014
The Utility Committee met on February 10, 2014 with Chairwoman Williams presiding. Except for
the following time sensitive issue, the Committee Report from February 10, 2014 will be presented
to Council during their Regular Meeting of February 24, 2014 for review and consideration.
McKee Run Units 1 and 2 - 2017-2018 Capacity Auction
In a letter dated February 7, 2014, Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLC, Energy Attorney for the City,
requested an opportunity to present a recommendation to the Utility Committee regarding McKee
Units 1 and 2. Members were reminded that they, along with City Council, were provided a report
last year explaining how the capacity value of these units compared to the PJM capacity auction
prices on the Delmarva Peninsula would become negative within several years. Mr. Betts explained
that the decision about the future of these units also affects power supply negotiations and plant
operating contract negotiations, both of which have been given a high priority. In addition, he noted
that there is a matter involving a request for waiver with respect to a notice that was not provided
to PJM in December.
Members were reminded that during their Regular Meeting of December 9, 2013, City Council
approved of the Committee’s recommendations of November 25, 2013, that, for the short term, Units
1 and 2 not be offered into PJM's capacity auction for the 2017/18 delivery year; that a
comprehensive analysis be performed that lays out all the decision options for the City of Dover; that
a similar analysis on other parts of the generation portfolio be completed; and that all supply options
be surveyed, including new generation projects in and around Dover and Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) opportunities.
Mr. Betts indicated that the City of Dover is reviewing several activities related to its power supply,
such as the Purchase Power Agreement with Calpine and the renegotiation of the North American
Energy Services (NAES) contract. He stated that when the Cost/Benefit Analysis for McKee Run
Units 1 and 2 was presented to members, it was recommended that the units be shutdown due to
operation costs and capital improvements ($1.7M between now and 2017 and an additional estimated
Página 12
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 12
$2.4M). He reminded members that there was an outage on the Unit last summer which resulted in
a penalty for the City. Although The Energy Authority (TEA) had recommended an evaluation of
the units, he noted that the strongest recommendation was to prepare to close the units and not bid
them into the market. No action regarding this specific recommendation was taken when considered
by the Committee in November 2013 or City Council in December 2013. The City’s membership
in the PJM requires that the City provide notice three (3) years in advance as to whether or not the
City will bid the units into the market; therefore, the City was required to provide notice regarding
2017/2018 in December 2013. He assured members that TEA has been working on obtaining a
waiver on the notification requirement; however, if the City is not granted a waiver, the City cannot
bid the Unit in and can only get what would be provided in the market place. He noted that in
reviewing the 2016/2017 period, those units are not economic and according to TEA analysis, once
the City begins making capital investments, in order to recover the costs to the Unit over the next
five (5) years, the capacity costs for this zone would need to be $311 per megawatt day. He
explained that the capacity rate for 2015/2016 is $110 per megawatt day and with construction of
the facility at Garrison, the rate is expected to stay suppressed and could potentially go lower. In this
case, the City would have two (2) 16 megawatt units losing money for the City at $200 per megawatt
day rather than providing the City money, as they have in the past, to help subsidize the costs of
these units.
Mr. Betts explained that the theory for all the City’s capacity payments, the fixed ability to generate
at any hour called on, is that it is the money that has been used to pay the NAES Operating
Agreement and also to contribute to the overall cost of operations for the City’s customer. When
this number goes negative, he stated that the City pays money to maintain a facility; therefore, the
long term question is if the City should be putting money into two (2) 16 megawatt units that are
very manually driven, very intensive for operating, and that are 50 years old. As a result, the City
must decide whether to maintain Units 1 and 2.
Mr. Betts stated that his request for bringing this issue before members at this time is due to his
responsibilities to negotiate the Calpine contract and the NAES Contract since he does not know
what to negotiate on the City’s behalf without knowing how many megawatts are needed. If the City
plans to maintain the 16 megawatt units and make the investments on Units 1 and 2, then he would
not need to negotiate capacity, the City would just be in the market looking for energy, and the
Calpine contract may or may not have any value. Referring to the NAES contract, he stated that
there are implications for what the overall costs of operating the facility should be, explaining that
if the units are maintained, there would be a certain amount of labor and other maintenance costs
over the term of the contract and if those two (2) units are removed, there would be a reduction in
maintenance costs. He reminded members that the maintenance costs alone are anticipated to be a
minimum of $1.7M over the next several years, in addition to manpower and other operating
expenses as well as other ancillary charges under the contract based upon the whole contract price.
He stated that it would also affect the bonus provisions since the contract provides for a bonus of
20% of a fee based upon all those units dispatching.
Mr. Betts strongly recommended that the committee make the decision to close Units 1 and 2. He
stated that the City has the option to close the units sooner or later and can always replace the
capacity at a reasonable cost, explaining that the City is committed through 2016 to maintain the
units or find replacement capacity. Part of his responsibility, on behalf of the City, would be to
negotiate a contract that is comparable and would keep the City “in the money” in lieu of expending
Página 13
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 13
the money that would otherwise be spent on the units, which may allow the City to take the capacity
contract earlier rather than 2017/2018. He assured members that capacity and energy are available
and that Units 1 and 2 are becoming very costly. Based on all the recommendations and current
contract negotiations, he felt confident that the City should make a firm decision on the termination
of Units 1 and 2.
In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Betts indicated that there is capacity in the market place that can be
purchased. He reminded members that when the City negotiated the Option Agreement for the land
and the development at Garrison, one (1) of the items the City negotiated was an option to take 50
megawatts of that facility. Under this Option Agreement, there was a formula established that
provided that the capacity payment should be equal to the actual cost of that unit. He informed
members that the cost, as well as how to benchmark the cost against the market price for capacity,
are still under negotiation to develop an appropriate price to recommend to the City.
Mr. Betts explained that this matter is not an “apples to apples” comparison between market capacity
or a new unit and Units 1 and 2. He is mostly concerned with the City putting money into Units 1
and 2 and still not having the reliability desired. Reliability is critical for two (2) reasons: 1) the
City pays a substantial amount of money to maintain Units 1 and 2; and 2) if Units 1 and 2 are not
reliable and do not dispatch on signal from PJM, the City takes a forced outage, which results in a
penalty and causes a higher reserve margin to be assigned, both of which are very costly.
Providing an explanation of a reserve margin, Mr. Betts stated that there is an assumption that a
certain number of plants are going to fail and that there is flexibility in how much is actually
demanded in the market. Noting that PJM has units all over the country, he stated that there is a
percentage (14%-15%) over and above what is actually purchased; therefore, if 100 megawatts are
purchased, 115 megawatts are the amount actually paid for in order to cover the reserve. He
indicated that the City now has 175 megawatts of capacity and that, according to TEA, the City is
buying 2.4-2.5 additional; however, the actual peak demand is substantially below the 175
megawatts at approximately 160 megawatts. Therefore, the additional megawatts are the reserve the
City must have and maintain or purchase in the market place. If there is a failure in the dispatch,
there would be a penalty and the amount of capacity the City has to buy is increased. This would
require the City to purchase extra reliability due to its own failure. The goal would be to bring that
amount down to what would be reasonable and consistent with the market place. However, he
explained that the main goal is for the City to maintain reliability at a high level, noting that the
City’s customers and PJM expect 100% reliability.
In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Betts stated that when the City entered into the last contract with
NAES and PACE, there was an assumption that Units 1 and 2 would be taken out of service three (3)
to four (4) years into the contract, and the City is well beyond that time frame now. Even though
there has been an estimate of $2.4M for opening up Units 1 and 2, he stressed that there is no
guarantee there will not be additional expenses, particularly since these units have not been opened
for several years. The borescope device can only access a certain number of blades, and the blades
that have been inspected indicate wear; therefore, the assumption is that more than likely there is
wear on the larger blades that they do not see, and when the units are opened, it will cost more to
repair the unit. He stated that Council has delayed opening the unit for review until FY 2017 in order
Página 14
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 14
to save money while considering whether or not to close Units 1 and 2. If the units are opened in
FY 2017 and it is determined that there is a $5M expense rather than the $2.4M expense that was
originally anticipated, he questioned what the City would have gained, noting that the City would
probably have committed out another two (2) to three (3) years by that time.
Mr. Betts reiterated that now is the right time for the City to make a decision with regard to McKee
Run Units 1 and 2 because there is a serious question about their reliability. Although the NAES
Contract provides rewards, there are not substantial penalties for the failure of those units, since the
City takes the penalty. At the request of Mrs. Williams, Mr. Betts stated that he would forward the
performance percentage and dollar amount specifics of the NAES Contract to members.
Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Betts explained that PJM operates, technically, as a non-profit
facilitator of energy and transmission management for this region and the City pays annual dues as
a member. Regarding the City’s Budget, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that the
CIP includes $1.7M for Units 1 and 2 and an additional $2.4M for FY 2017/2018 to open up these
units for re-evaluation. Mr. Betts stated that the total budget costs of $4.1M is a low estimate.
In response to Mrs. Williams and Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Betts indicated that if the City chose to
decommission both Units 1 and 2, the $2.4M expense for FY 2017/2018 would be eliminated;
however, the City would need to obtain replacement capacity and, depending on how quickly the
City is able to find replacement capacity, could avoid expending some of the $1.7M to maintain the
units.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Betts stated that the City continues to study the VanSant Unit and
that it has been determined that Unit 3 is fine but it is at capacity. Regarding the VanSant Unit,
Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City currently has McHale, the company that previously conducted the
analysis on the increase of capacity, re-reviewing the Unit and they have obtained bids and are
running the number to determine whether the capacity can be increased. They are not guaranteeing
the capacity that the City was hoping for (6 megawatts), feeling that there may be 5 megawatts. The
current capacity is 39 megawatts. Mr. Betts indicated that the VanSant Unit is the most dispatched
unit for the City because it comes up, serves as a “peaker”, is a short-term unit that can come up for
emergencies, etc. One of the challenges for this Unit is the moving target on what PJM gives for the
value on a megawatt day for capacity. He explained that if the City invests a certain amount of
money, there is a certain return needed on the Unit, and the PJM capacity costs are declining, which
is why they are re-reviewing the analysis to make sure the City’s investment is fully returned.
In regard to the questions of Mrs. Williams, Mr. Betts stated that one (1) of the creative ideas that
has been discussed is whether there is value in the market place for the capacity for Units 1 and 2,
and the possibility of giving someone else the rights to the capacity. If there is someone that is
interested in the 32 megawatts that is located in the area, where there are transmission constraints,
there may be real value to swap those megawatts. In addition, he stated that there should be
consideration to the emissions credits, explaining that if it is decided to take the units out and they
are not replaced, the City may be able to sell those emissions credits forward for a number of years.
He noted that emissions credits have been sold in the past based on the way the units operate.
Therefore, he explained that there are potential revenue opportunities with the decommissioning of
the units.

Mr. Betts referred to the SOx and NOx and indicated that there was a recent EPA issuance specifying
what determines what a plant should be able to dispatch out for coal and are reviewing all fossil fuel
plants. As discovered several years ago, he reminded members that with older units, if any
improvements are made to them, there is a risk that the new regulations will become applicable,
which he did not believe had been calculated into what may happen with Units 1 and 2. He stressed
that it would be difficult to make Units 1 and 2 compliant, particularly since they are burning #2 oil.
Mrs. Mitchell informed members that the current five-year CIP would change because the
maintenance over the next three (3) years for Units 1 and 2 may change; for example, a borescope
was going to be performed this year in the spring; however, if the units are decommissioned, that
work will not be performed and the entire CIP will need to be reworked.
Mr. Perza questioned if shutting down Units 1 and 2 would create a leverage problem for
negotiations for replacing the capacity. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that he had considered this
issue and, as a negotiator, there is a certain balance to be maintained. He explained that the first
question for him is how much capacity he needs to negotiate for on behalf of the City. Currently,
the City does not need additional capacity, so unless a decision is made regarding Units 1 and 2, he
has no direction for negotiating on behalf of the City. In addition, he stated that if the units were
very efficient and competitive under PJM, there would be an entirely different type of discussion
taking place at this time. He indicated that efficiency is measured by “heat rate” and that, as an
example, the heat rate on the Garrison Unit (which is seen throughout PJM) is 6,800, which is really
low. Units 1 and 2 are within the 1,200 - 1,300 range, which means the Garrison Unit is twice as
efficient because it burns half as much gas to generate the same amount of electricity as Units 1
and 2.
The committee recommended terminating Units 1 and 2, as recommended by Mr. Kirk Betts, Energy
Attorney for the City.
During the City Council meeting, Mr. Betts explained the request as presented to the Utility
Committee earlier in the evening. This year, the City is receiving approximately $119 - $124 per
megawatt day to have Units 1 and 2 in existence, regardless of the cost of operating the units, which
is less; therefore, the City is earning money while these units are kept “alive.” He explained that the
problem with Units 1 and 2 is that, moving forward, the City must invest huge capital amounts into
the units. The cost recovery must be over $300 but the market is $110; therefore, the City loses
approximately $200 per megawatt day.
Mr. Betts urged members to act on the decision to terminate Units 1 and 2. As previously advised,
he stated that there was discussion regarding the negotiation of contracts with NAES and also with
Calpine for Power Supply. Under the current agreement for the development, he stated that the City
has the option to take up to 50 megawatts of that unit and negotiate a price for that based upon its
costs. He explained that he is unable to negotiate unless he knows how much the City needs to buy,
which is why he needs to know if the City wishes to continue to operate Units 1 and 2 or close the
units and replace them with new capacity. If the units are closed, he would need to negotiate, on
behalf of the City, to buy approximately 34 - 40 megawatts and if the units are kept, there would not
be much to negotiate since the best value is to buy capacity and energy together; otherwise, the City
would just go to the market and buy energy as is currently done under the City’s portfolio strategy.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 2014 PAGE 16
With respect to the NAES contract, Mr. Betts noted that the costs have increased every year, simply
by escalation as well as by operating costs. He explained the difficulty in negotiating this contract
without the knowledge of how many units the City will actually have in operation and the associated
number of personnel and related costs.
Mr. Betts explained the importance of making a decision so that he can move forward on those
contracts and solve some spending problems, while at the same time, address what may be a major
capital expense for maintaining Units 1 and 2. He stated that making such a decision will solve
three (3) problems, as follows: 1) allow negotiations to move forward with NAES; 2) determine how
much capacity will be bought from Calpine; and 3) solve the problem with PJM regarding the City
not giving notice, explaining that the City could request a waiver, since the units are bid in for the
next three (3) years and the units can be closed at any time during this period as long as there is
replacement capacity. This would solve the problem of dealing with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) and PJM in seeking the waiver which may or may not been granted. He
indicated that it would be a more difficult legal case to make regarding the delay if a decision is not
made at this time.
Mr. Betts reminded members that in November 2013, TEA and City staff recommended that Units 1
and 2 be closed, and he again urged members to approve this recommendation.
Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Betts explained that the urgency in making a decision at this time is
due to his inability to negotiate the contract with Calpine. In addition, he stated that TEA made him
aware that there is an issue with FERC because the City did not give notice back on
December 1, 2013, which needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Also, he stated that in order
to negotiate the NAES contract and the final cost and staffing structure necessary, it is necessary to
determine how many units will be operating at McKee Run.
Mr. Slavin expressed his opinion that the word “Calpine” seems to be more and more associated
with City Council breaking its own rules to do business. He is becoming more uncomfortable with
borrowing money against reserve accounts to meet obligations for a Calpine project, smoothing rules
for a quick decision involving a Calpine project, etc. He felt that these types of issues are becoming
more and more frequent and that they are becoming an issue with which he is concerned.
Responding, Mr. Betts assured members that Calpine is not the “driver” regarding this particular
matter but rather an important deadline (December 1, 2013) for PJM membership was missed, which
is serious depending upon the City’s decision. If the City wishes to continue to use the units, action
needs to be taken regarding the FERC and PJM. If the City wishes to terminate the use of the units,
then there is some flexibility. These are the reasons why he requested that this matter be presented
immediately to City Council for consideration.
In response to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Koenig stated that he, as City Manager, was responsible for the
missed deadline. He explained that there was discussion between City staff and TEA and it was
discovered that the deadline was missed.
Mr. Hare moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation to terminate Units 1 and 2,
as recommended by Mr. Kirk Betts, Energy Attorney for the City, seconded by Mr. Hutchison
and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Bonar absent).

City of Dover Acceptable Use Policy
A Message to all System Users
This document formalizes the City policy for all employees as well as contractors and other “users” of our
City’s communications and computer systems. Each department may also choose to develop and
enforce its own acceptable use policies to further regulate use within its local environment.
This Acceptable Use Policy is your resource to help you make sound decisions in using communications
and computer systems to do your job.
Our goal is to put controls in place that will help protect the City from sabotage and espionage. The
threat is real, as each month, IT intercepts hundreds of viruses and suspicious messages containing
executable files trying to bypass our security systems. These controls also help minimize the potential
risks of misuse. This misuse includes unnecessary Internet usage causing network and server
congestion. This Acceptable Use Policy is your (the user’s) guide for helping us achieve this goal by
conducting City of Dover business with integrity, respect, and prudent judgment.
Each department is responsible for the activity of its users and for ensuring that its users follow this
Acceptable Use Policy. Violations not promptly remedied by the user may result in termination of these
services.
Introduction
Users are accountable for familiarizing themselves with this policy and using it as a guidepost for your
daily decisions and actions when using these services.
Read the policy and give careful attention to those subjects that most pertain to your job duties.
Understand the purpose of this policy and your overall responsibilities for standards of business conduct.
Consult with your supervisor or the IT Department for additional clarification of this policy.
Note the Following:
Applicability
City of Dover’s expectations for responsible use are applicable to all parties who use the City
communications and computer systems on behalf of the City, including, but not limited to, its employees,
consultants, in-house contractors, and other “users.”
Limitations
This acceptable use policy does not address every possible scenario or condition regarding acceptable
use. If it is not specifically addressed within this document, consult with IT.
Acceptable Use of Communications and Computer Systems
City of Dover communications and computer systems are vital to our business and critical to overall
1
Página 25
communications. Our success is directly related to safeguarding and properly using these systems.
What are City communications and computer systems?
City of Dover communications and computer systems are any equipment, hardware, software, or
networks (including wireless networks) owned, provided or used by or on behalf of the City of Dover that
store or transmit voice or non-voice data. This includes telephones, cellular/wireless telephones, voice
mail, computers, e-mail, facsimiles, pagers, and City Intranet or Internet access (including when accessed
through personally owned computers).
Note: When personal computers are not owned by the City but are used for City business, the City retains
the right to access any City records or materials developed for City use. Also, we must ensure that any
City materials are appropriately safeguarded according to applicable standards in this section, including,
but not limited to, virus protection of, protected access to, and backup of these materials.
Access, Maintenance and Protection
Users must safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of City systems, including strong password logons
(see \\Dover_1\public docs\How to\Creating a Secure Password.doc), access codes, network access
information, log-on IDs from improper access, alteration, destruction, and disclosure. Users shall only
access or use these systems when authorized. Users must abide by City standards contained in this
section and any other City policies regarding protecting data and information stored on these systems.
Unlawful and Inappropriate Use
Users are obligated to never use City systems (such as the Intranet or Internet) to engage in activities
that are unlawful, violate City policies, or in ways that would:
Be disruptive, causing unnecessary offense to others.
Be considered harassing, discriminatory, or creating a hostile work environment.
Result in the City of Dover’s liability, embarrassment, or loss of reputation.
External groups or organizations are not permitted to access the City’s computer network, except as
permitted by IT.
Protection and Integrity of Data
Users must maintain the integrity of City information and data stored on City systems by:
Introducing data into our systems that serve a legitimate business purpose.
Only acquiring, using, altering, disposing of, or destroying data or information with proper
authorization.
Protecting data and information stored on or communicated across our systems and not
accessing this data or information (customer data, employee records, etc.) unless authorized.
Protecting data and information communicated over internal or public networks (the internet) to
avoid compromising or disclosing nonpublic City communications.
Personal Use
While City systems are intended for primarily business/instructional purposes, limited (incidental and
occasional) personal use may be permissible when authorized by your manager and it does not:
Interfere with your work responsibilities.
Involve interests in personal outside business and/or other non-authorized organizations and
2
Página 26
activities (including, but not limited to selling personal property/items or soliciting for or promoting
commercial ventures, charitable, religious, or political activities).
Violate any of the standards contained in this code or other City policies.
Downloading of music and video files is specifically forbidden.
Virus Protection
If users suspect a virus, they must not use the applicable computer systems and equipment until the virus
is removed and they will report the matter immediately to the IT Department. The City of Dover has
purchased anti-virus software for all city computers, including home computers. Contact IT staff for a
copy to be installed on your home computers.
Properly Licensed Software
Users will use only approved and properly licensed software and will use it according to the applicable
software owner’s license agreements. Installing any software, including freeware (screensavers,
browsers, etc) is prohibited unless approved by IT.
Treatment of Third-Party Data or Software
Users must ensure that any nonpublic City information or software of a third party that is stored, copied,
or otherwise used on City systems is treated according to City of Dover’s standards regarding nonpublic
City information and applicable agreements and intellectual property restrictions.
City of Dover Monitoring
City communications and computer systems, including, but not limited to, computer networks,
data files, e-mail and voice mail, may be monitored and/or accessed by the IT Staff and your
management to ensure the integrity of the technology, protect against fraud and abuse, detect
unauthorized access or use, and for other business purposes. Although the IT Department does
not routinely monitor message or network transactions, IT may, without notification or approval,
monitor, access and review any and all communications originating from the City of Dover or
delivered to the City of Dover – employees should have no expectation of privacy in regard to
use of these services.
USE OF EMAIL AND THE INTERNET
Inappropriate use of e-mail includes, but is not limited to, sending or forwarding:
Messages, including jokes or any language that may be considered discriminatory, harassing,
unlawful, defamatory, obscene, offensive, insensitive, or otherwise inappropriate (this includes
but is not limited to messages about age, race, gender, disability, national origin, any other legally
defined discriminatory classifications or similar matters.)
Pornographic or sexually explicit materials.
Chain letters.
Information related to religious materials, activities, or causes – including inspirational messages.
Solicitations unless sanctioned by the City of Dover.
Auction-related information or materials unless sanctioned by the City of Dover.
Games or other software copyrighted materials without a legitimate business or instructional
purpose (and then only according to the rights and licenses granted by the owner of the games,
software, or copyrighted material.)
Messages that disparage other companies or products.
Materials related to personal commercial ventures or solicitations for personal gain (including, but
3
Página 27
not limited to messages that could be considered pyramid schemes).
Information related to political materials, activities, or causes unless sanctioned or permitted by
the City of Dover.
Unauthorized or inappropriate mass distribution of communication.
Any other materials that would be improper under this policy or other City of Dover policies.
Inappropriate use of the Internet includes, but is not limited to, accessing, sending or
forwarding information about, or downloading (from):
Sexually explicit, harassing, or pornographic sites.
“Hate sites” or sites that can be considered offensive or insensitive.
Auction sites for personal use.
Gambling sites.
Non City of Dover business-related chat sites.
Underground or other security sites which contain malicious software and/or instructions for
compromising City of Dover security.
Games, software, audio, video, or other materials that are not properly licensed to use or
transmit, or that are inappropriate.
Offensive or insensitive materials, such as sexually or racially oriented topics.
Intentional importation of viruses.
REMEDIAL ACTION
When IT learns of a possible inappropriate use, IT will immediately notify the employee or supervisor who
must take immediate remedial action and inform IT of its action. Repeated violations will be addressed
with the Department Head. In instances where criminal activity is suspected, IT will work directly with the
proper authorities, and follow their guidance in determining appropriate action.
Inappropriate use of City communications and computer systems may be grounds for discipline up to and
including dismissal.
In an emergency, in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity, IT may temporarily disconnect
that employee or building from the network. If this is deemed necessary, every effort will be made to
inform the employee or building personnel prior to disconnecting, and every effort will be made to
reestablish the connection as soon as it is safe to do so.
Unauthorized activity or non-acceptable usage determined at the department level may be subject to
remedial action being taken in accordance with the acceptable use policy of that department (if
applicable) as well as those actions outlined above. The remedial action outlined in departmental policies
may differ from the remedial action as outlined in this policy. Should there be any conflict, Human
Resources will make a determination as to applicability.
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS POLICY
Please address any questions or comments to the IT Director.
