REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
The Regular Council Meeting was held on May 22, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Slavin
presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis (departed
at 7:38 p.m.; returned at 7:47 p.m.), Mr. Cole, and Mr. Polce. Mr. Hare was absent.
Staff members present were Police Chief Mailey, Ms. Peddicord, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg,
Fire Chief Carey, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also
present (departed at 7:43 p.m.).
OPEN FORUM
The Open Forum was held at 7:00 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting.
Council President Slavin declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that
Council was not in official session and could not take formal action.
Ms. Katrina Stubbs reminded members that when she first came before Council she was homeless
and working two (2) part-time jobs, and was excited to report that she was currently working a
full-time permanent job with the State. She stated that she was currently residing at a home with
Interfaith, where she is able to stay and save up until she can get her own place. Ms. Stubbs noted
that she was going to the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness meeting, and was hoping
that, as a result of the meeting, something will become available for women like her, who do not
have any type of resources and do not fit into one of the categories. She expressed her hope that
something can be set aside for women like herself, who are professional, educated women that are
actually leaving the State of Delaware because they are not able to find jobs. Ms. Stubbs stated that
if those women had a resource and help, they would stay here in the City of Dover.
Ms. Stubbs asked members, if possible, to continue to help Victory Church and do whatever they
can, noting that when she was homeless, Victory Church was the church that she went to for a
shower, food, and different resources. She explained that since she did not fit into one of the
categories, Victory Church was there to help her. Ms. Stubbs indicated that people sometimes say
that they do not have money; however, they have money for other things, like having a video done
for $8,000, noting that she read about that in the newspaper and did not agree with it. She reiterated
her hope that money can be set aside for women like herself and professional individuals who want
to get back in the workforce.
Mr. Eric Abernathy, speaking about homelessness, advised that they just need help and there are
quite a few success stories from people who are being assisted and getting help through his church.
He stated that he hoped that everyone can all work together to continue to progress to get a home for
people who need a place to stay and to get everyone off the street. Mr. Abernathy noted that he
knows that it seems like nothing is being done; however he knows who his God is, what He can do,
and that it’s going to happen in His time. Mr. Abernathy thanked everybody for whatever they are
trying to do, noting that it is going to work and he hopes he is here to see it.
Mr. Steven Hall stated that he remembered when Obama was voted in as President, he and many of
his fellow African-Americans were ecstatic for having their first African-American President of the
United States. He explained he knows that clapping and gestures are not really allowed during Open
Forum, which he respects, and when he picked up the Delaware State News a couple of weeks ago,
Página 6
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2017 PAGE 2
his first thought was that he was glad he was not in the City Council meeting because he could not
help but to jump up and yell out as loud as he could with a great big smile. Mr. Hall congratulated
his dear friend Sergeant Marvin Mailey for being appointed Police Chief. He stated that Chief
Mailey was not only a great man but a good friend to him, and he thanked him.
Mr. Hall, speaking about homelessness, explained that there were times when he came to Council
meetings and he was utterly depressed but he hid it very well because of his faith. He indicated that
he wanted Chief Mailey to know how happy he is that he is the Chief and that he is glad that the
committee saw the potential that he sees. Mr. Hall noted that Sergeant Mailey is not only a good
Chief, but had helped him many times with his talks. He explained that Chief Mailey’s presence
alone has been inspiring to him and that’s why he is still here.
Mr. Hall advised that he looks at each member’s face every time he stands before Council and God
had given him the gift of discernment, so he knows when members are real and when they are fake.
He expressed his thanks to every member of Council, explaining that each time he stands before
them, he sees no fakeness. Mr. Hall asked members to please continue to be supportive of him, so
that he may find housing.
Pastor Robert Appling stated that he was speaking on behalf of his son, Aaron, who was now Pastor
of Victory Church, noting that he was the founder. He advised members that Aaron was in the
Philippines feeding 600 homeless children, explaining that his passion is not just for Dover and the
homeless here, but for the homeless wherever they might be. Pastor Appling stated that because of
Council, different State organizations, and Victory Church working together, Ms. Katrina Stubbs was
able to give a positive report earlier in the Open Forum segment. He noted that he saw Jim sitting
in the audience and that he and his wife were now in an apartment. Pastor Appling advised that his
wife worked tirelessly to get them through some of the committees and furnishing transportation,
and they were another success story of the Council and Victory Church working together. He also
noted a young man by the name of Rodney who was present. Pastor Appling stated that Rodney was
32 years of age, a black man, married, had three (3) children, and was now residing at Victory
Church for a few days until they can try to help him find a way out, find a job, get his family back
together and get off the streets. He advised members that it is a continuing job.
Pastor Appling stated that he knew that the Mayor and the Veterans Council had helped a number
of veterans in the community, but there are still others who are warriors who have served our
Country and are on the streets, homeless, and out of work. He noted that they are not all drunks and
they are not all not all drug addicts, explaining that some people who are in that category have
degrees and are simply in hard times at this time. Pastor Appling indicated that they are a voice for
those who are voiceless. He advised members that a young man told him earlier that day that he is
afraid of Council; he doesn’t know them, they don’t know him, and he doesn’t know what to say.
Pastor Appling stated that it is a wonderful thing to be able to stand before members and praise them
for what they had done and maybe chastise them a little for what they had not done. He indicated
that, being able to work with the different State organizations, family organizations, and City
organizations, everyone could get something else done.
Pastor Appling noted that Ms. Sue Harris was in attendance, and reminded members that she is an
advocate for tiny homes, and they were still working on trying to get that through. He advised that
Página 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2017 PAGE 3
they were also negotiating for a couple properties in the City of Dover, so that they can do a little bit
more. Pastor Appling requested Council’s consideration and help when they come before members
to ask for help, and thanked Council for what they had done.
Ms. Sue Harris read the following statement regarding homelessness:
I am fighting a cold and not feeling well so, I'm going to make my presentation very
short. I have made copies of some information (Exhibit #1) that I hope you take the
time to look over and read carefully. I want to be sure that it is very clear to everyone
that I'm not looking to cause trouble. I am wholly dedicated to the city that I was
born and raised in. I have worked the same job at POLYTECH for 28 years and have
lived in the same home on Pine Street for my entire life. I love my city and want only
to find ways to help make it a beautiful and inviting environment to reside. The
information that I am providing to you is for information and hopefully actionable
purposes. It points out the deficiencies that have been identified but neglected to be
addressed. My intentions are to share the results of my research in order to assist you
to find solutions and answers to this complicated problem.
You will see in this paperwork that Dover was informed and offered solutions
regarding the lack of compliance with the Fair Housing Act of 1988 years ago. You
will see a couple of notations where Ann Marie addressed it in Council meetings,
however, I can find no corrections ever being introduced.
I will let you digest the information that I've presented in the hopes that it will aid
you in determining just how the City can help play a role in finding a solution to the
homelessness in our city.
In a Nutshell, as we wait for the Blue Ribbon panel to settle on a plan and make its
presentation, I would like to suggest a few steps that the City could make right now
that would begin opening doors and creating some possible solutions.
1.) Use the funds that seem to be in question: $8,000 for the
movie and the other additional funds that came available
when the economic development office closed. Place these
funds in a revolving loan fund account that is made available
for 1st and last month's rents and deposits on houses to be
rented for protected class citizens. This fund would be
replenished with payments and therefore be available to
provide funds for additional houses to open.
2.) Correct the City code to be in compliance with the Fair
Housing Act of 1988 that will allow these group homes to be
established and therefore creating some affordable living
opportunities for some of the disabled individuals that are
living in the streets. These houses would be established in the
model of an "Oxford House".
Página 8
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2017 PAGE 4
With these two simple steps the City of Dover would show their commitment to
being innovative and compassionate to their most vulnerable citizens and quite
possibly in showing this commitment other community members will follow their
lead and realize the need, the importance and the credibility of this cause.
I also wanted to add that the City of Dover does seem awful busy in getting rid of any
property in their name. Seems like there are at least a half dozen properties that I
submitted ideas about that have been turned over or sold to: Habitat for Humanity,
NCALL or Mautiste LLC. 2 lots on North Street, 3 - 4 lots on New Street, a lot on
Gov Ave. Certainly begs the question: If these properties were provided to Habitat
and NCALL for affordable housing purposes I'm fully supportive of that and hope
that some of that will include those looking for low rent options not just purchase
options. If these properties where instead sold, I would love to know how the
proceeds from these sales will be used? I certainly hope that as you dispense of all
these properties you might consider offering a nonprofit the same sort of lease deal
that was offered to DIMH so that additional nonprofits can put their efforts into
addressing this problem as well with the support of the city.
I have also been reading about the Delaware Convention Center dissolution. Such
a shame, my father was very involved with Al Hedgecock and Stuart Outten in the
Civic Center dream and I'm sad to see the board and non profit dissolved. I think that
the partnership with Del State will be a positive one that will bring about the same
sort of result with their student center and am interested in seeing how the remainder
of the land and assets are dissolved and distributed among non profits with the same
goals as provided by the IRS dissolution terms.
Please, take the time to look over the information that I am leaving with you. I know
that I have provided a plethora of documentation and paperwork and I'm doubtful that
any of it was even looked at, but I implore you to please read through this
information and be proactive in addressing what appears to be blatant noncompliance
on the cities behalf that continues to hinder the availability of housing for those most
in need among us.
Thank you
Ms. Cynthia Fay Quevedo advised members that she is homeless. She stated that when she was in
her tent that morning, God spoke to her to come speak and said that there are empty buildings that
members can provide for the homeless and it should not cost that much to fix them up. Ms. Quevedo
noted that she was also present to speak for the veterans, explaining that she had seen a lot of
veterans out on the street, more than the homeless people, and they need to be taken care of and put
into housing. She asked members to take time and try to do something for them, noting that
members have enough money to do so and that’s what He wants everybody to do.
The invocation was given by Bishop Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment
of silence for Mr. Josh Littleton, Building Official for the City of Seaford.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT - DOWNTOWN DOVER PARTNERSHIP
Mr. Gregory Moore, President of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), formally introduced
Ms. Joan Cote, DDP Executive Director, noting that she was hired in September 2016. He advised
that the DDP now had a second person working on staff, Ms. Tina Bradbury. Mr. Moore introduced
Ms. Bradbury and explained that she was working on a number of DDP events and was a good asset
for the DDP.
Página 12
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2017 PAGE 8
Mr. Moore advised members that it was a challenging year for the DDP. He explained that, with a
new complete staff, they had to do some retooling and some reorganizing, which Ms. Cote had
overseen quite nicely. Referring to the DDP 2016 Annual Report, Mr. Moore indicated that it
provided a summary. He stated that there are a number of initiatives, plans, programs, parades and
events that the DDP does every year and the DDP prides itself in continuing to do those things, as
well as trying to bring new businesses and revitalization to the downtown. Mr. Moore noted that one
(1) of the highlights of 2016 was that the DDP was able to secure the E-ZPass lease for another six
(6) years, in two (2) three-year terms. He stated that E-ZPass brings a number of people through
their front doors, paying their pills and getting customer service, etc. Mr. Moore also noted another
big accomplishment last year was that the DDP was able to refinance the former Acme property.
Mr. Moore announced that this will be his last year as President of the DDP. He stated that he had
been President for a number of years and thought it was very important for the Board to have new,
fresh faces, new leadership, and new energy. Mr. Moore noted that he was becoming an older person
and he wanted to see younger people who have interest in the downtown move up and take those
leadership roles. He explained that he thinks new ideas are important and they can only get them
by energizing some of the younger leaders. Mr. Moore stated that two (2) of those leaders that he
wanted to recognize were Mr. Todd Stonesifer, whose energy has been good for the DDP Board, and
Mrs. Erin Thwaites, who is a great business leader downtown and would be joining the Board. He
noted that he had high hopes that Mrs. Thwaites will ascend into the DDP executive team.
Mr. Moore stated that Ms. Anita Evans had served as the DDP Vice President for a number of years
and he was hopefully that she would get her chance to take over leadership this year and bring new
ideas and new energy to the partnership.
Mr. Moore thanked members of Council, noting the great support the DDP had received from the
City of Dover. He stated that the City and DDP have a brother/sister kind of relationship, explaining
that the DDP is a separate entity and a non-profit in their own right, but the Council has been very
friendly to the DDP, and together they had done some great things.
Ms. Cote noted that she had worked with many members in her previous career. She stated that she
was very excited to be here and looking forward to doing some wonderful things together. Ms. Cote
informed members that the DDP was already building a great relationship with the Police
Department, explaining that they do a lot of things together. Ms. Cote stated that Mrs. Sharon Duca,
Public Works Director, and the Public Works Department had been absolutely incredible to the
DDP, as well as the Finance Department with the leadership of Mrs. Donna Mitchell. She explained
that, in the few short months she had been with the DDP, she had already seen how incredible the
relationships are, and stated that she planned on working to make those relationships even better.
Ms. Cote advised that she planned to bring some great things to downtown Dover, and looked
forward to the new leadership that they are going to have with the Board and some more involvement
with some new Council members, too.
Ms. Cote announced that the DDP had just received the new Capital City Farmer’s Market banners
earlier that day and displayed them for members. She advised that the Farmer’s Market would be
open on Loockerman Way Plaza from June 11th to October 4th. Ms. Cote asked members to come
out and support the market which would have great fresh fruits and vegetables. She stated that the
Página 13
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2017 PAGE 9
market supports local farmers and a lot of the money from the produce that is sold goes back to the
Interfaith Mission.
On behalf of the DDP, Ms. Bradbury expressed appreciation for Council’s support, noting that she
knew their job was not easy. She advised members that Mr. Moore had certainly not had an easy job
and assured members that he was not going anywhere, explaining that he was still a friend and a
Board member at the DDP. Ms. Bradbury stated that the DDP values Mr. Moore, his expertise and
the projects he has been able to implement with the help of the City, members of Council, and the
State. She indicated that some tremendous partnerships had been formed and would continue.
Ms. Bradbury noted that safety was a big concern which the DDP was continuing to work on, and
that they looked forward to working with the new Chief. She advised that the whole staff had been
very good and very supportive, and that the DDP looked forward to the best yet to come for Dover
and the DDP.
Mr. Sudler moved for acceptance of the Downtown Dover Partnership 2016 Annual Report.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried.
BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS EXEMPTION AUDIT REPORT - APRIL 26, 2017
EXEMPTION AUDIT HEARINGS - EXEMPTION AUDIT SUMMARY
Members were advised that in October 2016, the first notification went out to the approximately 360
properties that the City had classified as exempt, and they received a letter explaining the Exemption
Audit and a Verification of Eligibility Form to be returned no later than December 30, 2016. The
Board of Assessment Appeals met on February 9, 22, and 23 and March 15, 2017 to discuss all of
the exempt properties. At the end of the March 15, 2017 meeting, there were 33 properties that the
Board felt either they did not have enough information to make a decision on or that did not meet
the requirements of an exempt status. These 33 properties were given notice on March 16, 2017 that
they had until April 14, 2017 to submit another application and additional information to request a
hearing with the Board of Assessment Appeals. Of the 33 properties, only 16 properties were
brought before the Board of Assessment Appeals on April 26, 2017.
The Board recommended that all of the properties that were approved administratively during the
February and March meetings be approved, as well as the 16 properties from the April 26, 2017
hearing. Members were advised that there were a couple of properties that the Board would like to
have come back for various reasons, and that explanations and time frames were included in the
motions and minutes of the April 26, 2017 hearings. The 16 properties were included on the list of
approved properties for Council review.
It was noted that the 17 remaining properties were notified that they can reapply for exempt status
during the regular appeal period and given a deadline of May 1, 2017 at 5:00 p.m.
Members were reminded that the lists of approved and denied properties did not include government
agencies and public schools.
By consent agenda, Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the Exemption Audit Project and all
recommendations from the Board (Exhibit #2). The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Hare absent).

Dover Electric Revenue Bonds Resolution prior to adoption of the budget. Staff recommended that
the public hearing be set for June 12, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. Sudler moved to set a public hearing for June 12, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. for the 2017/2018 City
of Dover Electric Fund Budget. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously
carried.
COMCAST FRANCHISE RENEWAL
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager, reviewed the Cable Franchise Agreement between the
City of Dover and Comcast of Delmarva, LLC, dated May 22, 2017. She advised members that the
Comcast Franchise Agreement was up for renewal and not much had been changed. Mrs. Mitchell
noted that the terms and conditions had stayed the same and the franchise revenue had stayed at 5%
of gross revenues for the cable services that the City currently receives. Referring to page 24, she
informed members that there were two (2) new items in the Agreement: 1) a $50,000 grant, where
Comcast will match up to 50% of the cost, not to exceed $50,000, for the new equipment that the
City is buying for televising Council meetings, and 2) an EG grant for when the City gets its
educational and governmental channel up and running. Mrs. Mitchell explained that Comcast will
pay the City $.25 per subscriber per month for the EG grant during the duration of the Agreement.
She stated that the grant will go toward the EG channel cost and the City will have to substantiate
the cost.
In response to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she did not believe that there were any cons
regarding this matter, noting that it was the same type of agreement that the City has with Verizon.
She advised members that Comcast did include language in the Agreement to ensure that they are
on equal footing with any other cable providers. She explained that, for example, if the City is more
favorable to Verizon, Comcast wants to ensure that they are on a level playing field.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the Verizon contract would be coming up
soon. She noted that she and Mrs. Kay Sass, Public Affairs and Emergency Management
Coordinator, were talking about the Verizon contract earlier that day and were going to begin
working on it.
Página 15
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2017 PAGE 11
In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the provisions for channels that Comcast
carries are just basically the FCC minimum local broadcast requirements.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City had not heard any feedback or
complaints from any local stations.
Mr. Lewis asked if the $50,000 grant was just a one-shot deal. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised
that the $50,000 grant would be a one-time grant specifically for getting equipment that the City
needs for televising the meetings.
Mr. Lewis asked if Mrs. Mitchell if, in her professional opinion, she was comfortable with a 10-year
contract. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she was comfortable with a 10-year contract. She
advised that the City had normally done these agreements for 10 years, and franchise agreements like
this, are usually not shorter than that.
In response to Mr. Anderson’s request for clarification, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that although the
$50,000 would be a one-time grant, the $.25 per subscriber would continue each year. Mr. Anderson
asked if the 5% of the revenue would continue each year, and how much that came to last year.
Responding, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the 5% of the revenue would continue each year. She
advised members that, as she recalled, each franchise agreement runs between $85,000 and $90,000
per quarter, and they are relatively equal in their receipts.
Mr. Sudler asked if it would help the City or hurt the City to do a contract for 15 years. In response,
Mrs. Mitchell advised members that the normal contract length is 10 years. She explained that if the
City went past 10 years, maybe the $.25 would not be there; however, since the Agreement indicated
that Comcast usually passes that on to the customers, she did not believe that would make a
difference. Mrs. Mitchell stated that she did not think it would help or hurt the City to do a contract
for 15 years. Mr. Sudler asked Mrs. Mitchell whether she had ever thought about possibly
negotiating beyond 10 years, and she responded that she had not.
Mr. Neil moved for approval of the renewal of the 10-year Comcast Cable Franchise
Agreement, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and carried
by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Hare absent).

COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mr. Sudler congratulated Major Marvin Mailey on his accomplishment of becoming the new Chief
of Police. He stated that, after a long internal deliberation, having a lot of thoughts about the process
and his position in that matter, and looking at everything that transpired, he did not think that any
of the members of the Ethics Commission had been compromised or feel that they owed any official
anything. Mr. Sudler thanked the members for their service on the Commission. He stated that he
thought that they were doing a great job and was looking forward to them continuing to serve.
Mr. Sudler explained that it was a tough call and a tough situation at that time and it did not reflect
upon the members of the Ethics Commission personally because his frustration was not with the
members individually, it was with the process. He noted that he was looking forward to seeing what
could be done in regard to that process. Mr. Sudler stated that he apologized if there were any ill
feelings in regard to that matter, or any members thought that he was attacking them personally,
explaining that was not his intent.
Mr. Sudler invited everyone to attend the May 25, 2017 meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall
Council Chambers, regarding restoring Dover Park. He explained that this matter can no longer
wait, explaining that it was not just about Dover Park but was also about what can be done to help
show the youth a different way of life, so that can be productive citizens of Dover and become role
models within the community. Mr. Sudler stated that he hoped that not only the citizens of Dover
but also the youth would come out and voice their opinions in regard to the programs and activities
the City can provide to help increase the quality of living in the City of Dover. He informed
members that the theme of the meeting would be “Starting Below Ground Zero,” meaning starting
with the attitude of the community and the officials collectively, as a partnership effort to not only
restore Dover Park but to restore the City of Dover. Mr. Sudler noted that he met with City staff
regarding this matter earlier that day, and gave a special thanks to Mr. Eddie Diaz,
Ms. Carolyn Courtney, Mrs. Sharon Duca, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Mr. David Hugg, and the rest of
the team that would be joining everyone at the meeting. He also thanked Council President Slavin
for allowing him to be the Chair of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee,
to spearhead this initiative to restore all the parks, not just Dover Park, and to make the quality of
living better for everyone. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought that this would be the soul of a
movement that is going to change and impact the City of Dover.
Mr. Anderson informed members that he had been contacted by several concerned citizens who
expressed concerns regarding the recent shootings on North Bradford Street, South New Street, and
in the Woodmill area. He stated that this problem was not affecting one area or one district but the
whole City. Mr. Anderson expressed his hope that Council would take a concerted effort to give the
City’s Police Department the support they need, and to give full support across every spectrum of
the community. He stated that he thought that, in particular, Council needed to provide the City’s
police the resources to stay out and be proactive, and support continuing the cadet program which
was currently lacking funding. Mr. Anderson advised that he intended to ensure that this issue is
brought up because it is the most cost-effective way to put people on the street so the City’s full-time
officers can address the more serious problems. He stated that the City also needed to be able to
support some of the future and proactive programs that had been initiated in the past year and a half,
such as the police athletic league and the substance abuse project, and encouraged members to look
at the resolution establishing a dollar for a difference program, which would be considered by the
Página 21

Council Committee of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee
during their Special meeting scheduled for May 23, 2017.
Mr. Cole noted that when he and Mr. Neil attend neighborhood meetings, the members of staff who
attend, including Corporal Jennifer Lynch, Ms. Velvet Bowen, and other Planning and Code
Enforcement staff, are always responsive to the constituent concerns that they are asked to look into.
Mr. Cole and Mr. Neil expressed their appreciation and noted that they knew that the constituents
also appreciated staff’s efforts.
Mr. Sudler thanked the Third District Councilmen Cole and Neil for inviting him to the Towne Point
Association meeting on May 18th to promote the May 25th meeting. He stated that it was very
interesting and he looks forward to working with the constituents.
Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 8:08 p.m.

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
July 2011
DELAWARE STATEWIDE
ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING CHOICE
OBSERVATION: Minimum wage and single-income households cannot afford a housing unit renting for the
HUD Fair Market Rent in Dover. This situation forces these individuals and households to double-up with others, or
lease inexpensive, substandard units from unscrupulous landlords . Minorities and female-headed households will
be disproportionately impacted because of their lower incomes.
OBSERVATION: Persons receiving a monthly 551 check of $674 as their sole source of income, including persons
with disabilities, cannot afford a one-bedroom unit renting at the Fair Market Rent of $757.
OBSERVATION: Overall, the housing market in the City of Dover is moderately unaffordable, as only 30.9% of
the housing units sold in 2009 were considered to be affordable to households earning the median household
income of $44,490. When median household income by race is considered, Black households would have a more
difficult time purchasing a home than Whites.
OBSERVATION: Overall, the housing market in the City of Dover is moderately unaffordable, as only 30.9% of
the housing units sold in 2009 were considered to be affordable to households earning the median household
income of $44,490. When median household income by race is considered, Black households would have a more
difficult time purchasing a home than Whites .
OBSERVATION: Black households are disproportionately represented among Section 8 voucher holders. Of the
182 households in Dover using vouchers, 80.2% are Black. In addition, Black households are also disproportionately
represented among applicants on the Section 8 waiting list. Of the 641 households waiting for a Section 8 voucher, ·
81.6% are Black.
OBSERVATION: The extensive waiting lists for public housing (614 applicants) and Section 8 (641 applicants)
demonstrate a high demand for affordable housing in Dover. Demand is high due to consumer desires to be close
to amenities and transit options.
OBSERVATION: Analysis of the City's Annual Plan and CAPER documents reveal a balanced investment of CDBG
funds in both impacted and non-impacted areas. The City should continue its efforts to affirmatively further fair
housing by expanding the availability of affordable housing in non -impacted areas. The City should allocate funds
for new family housing developments (both sales and rental) on sites outside of impacted areas.
OBSERVATION: The City's Planned Neighborhood Design program could be improved from a fair housing
perspective by adding incentives for the production of affordable units. The City could provide financial and other
incentives to developers in exchange for the provision of a percentage of housing units to be set-aside for
hou se holds with incomes at or below a certain percentage of the area median income.

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice

OBSERVATION: The City should simplify its definition of "family" by focusing on whether a household functions
as a cohesive unit rather than distinguishing between related and unrelated persons. A restrictive definition that
limits the number or type of relationship between persons living together as a household unit in a single-family
dwelling unit is incompatible with many modern living situations and potentially discriminates against persons with
disabilities.
OBSERVATION: The City's Planned Neighborhood Design program could be improved from a fair housing
perspective by adding incentives for the production of affordable units. The City could provide financial and other
incentives to developers in exchange for the provision of a percentage of housing units to be set-aside for
households with incomes at or below a certain percentage of the area median income.
OBSERVATION: The City of Dover has no provision in its zoning ordinance to allow more than five unrelated
persons with disabilities to live together as a group home. This circumstance limits fair housing choice, particularly
for persons with disabilities . The City should amend its ordinance to remove obstacles to the creation of group
homes.
e. Definition of Family
Restrictive definitions of family may impede unrelated individuals from sharing a dwelling unit.
Defining family broadly advances nontraditional families and suppo11s the blending of families
who may be living together for economic purposes. Restrictions in the definition of family
typically cap the number of unrelated individuals that can live together. These restrictions can
impede the development of group homes, effectively impeding housing choice for the disabled.
However, in some cases, caps on unrelated individuals residing together may be warranted to
avoid the health and safety problems created by overcrowding. The City of Dover defines a
family as one or more persons occupying a dwelling unit as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit.
More than five persons, exclusive of domestic servants, or not more than one boarder or roomer,
not related by blood, marriage or adoption, shall not be considered to constitute one family. The
City limits the number of unrelated individuals to five persons. Because the ordinance does not
have an exception for group homes for persons with disabilities, this cap unduly restricts the
number of persons who can live together in such an arrangement. However, in some cases,
restrictions on the number of unrelated individuals residing together may be warranted for health
and overcrowding issues and to comply with Building and Fire codes adopted at the state and
Municipal levels.
f. Regulations for Group Homes for Persons with Disabilities
Group homes are residential uses that do not adversely impact a community. Effo11s should be
made to ensure group homes can be easily accommodated tlu·oughout the community under the
same standards as any other residential use. Of pai1icular concern are those that serve members
of the protected classes such as the disabled. Because a group home for the disabled serves to
provide a non-institutional experience for its occupants, imposing conditions are contrary to the
purpose of a group home. More imp011antly, the restrictions, unless executed against all
residential uses in the zoning district, are an impediment to the siting of group homes and are in
violation of the Fair Housing Act. Two primary purposes of a group home residence are
normalization and community integration. By allowing group residences throughout the
community in agreement with the same standards as applied to all other residential uses occupied
by a fami ly, the purposes of the use are not hindered and housing choice for the disabled is not
impeded. Towards this end, municipalities may not impose distancing requirements on group
homes for persons with disabilities .

In Horizon House
Development Services, Inc. v. Township of Upper Southampton, PA, the comi found a 1,000-foot
spacing requirement to be in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The court also found the
Township's requirement for an applicant to seek and receive a variance from the ordinance to
establish a group home within the 1,000-foot distance also to be a violation. The City of Dover
has no definition encompassing the "group home" use. Presumably, a group home could be
established as a single-family dwelling unit in any residential district as a result. However, the
City's definition of "family" does not allow for more than five unrelated persons to share a
family household, which would also not allow more than five unrelated persons to live together
in a group home.
Impediment #1: The City's increasingly diverse minority population may require language accommodations
to ensure that all residents can access programs and services.
Impediment #2: Minority households have greater difficulty becoming home owners in Dover because of
lower incomes.
Impediment #3: The City's supply of housing that is affordable to households up to 80% of median
household income is inadequate
Impediment #4: The City's supply of affordable and accessible housing units is inadequate to meet demand.
Impediment #5: The City's process for allocating and reporting CDBG funds could be improved from a fair
housing perspective.
Impediment #6: Policy documents utilized by the Dover Housing Authority could be improved from a fair
housing perspective.
Impediment #7: The 2008 Comprehensive Plan does not recognize the City's responsibility to affirmatively
further fair housing.
Impediment #8: The City of Dover's zoning ordinance limits fair housing choice for certain families and
persons living in group homes.
Impediment #9: Members of the protected classes could be more fully represented on City boards and
commissions dealing with housing issues.
Impediment #10: Mortgage loan denials and high-cost lending disproportionately affect minority applicants.

In the Al report The Delaware Code "Definition of Family" reads :
One or more persons occupying a dwelling unit as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit. Does not
include more than five persons not related by blood, marriage or adoption .
The comments: No explicit exception for group homes for persons with disabilities.
In the report The Delaware Treatment of Group Homes reads: "No definition" . Could presumably exist
as single family unless it exceeds five residents.
The comments: Cap on unrelated residents sharing house prevents any group home from having more
than five residents. That is inconsistent with the Fair Housing Act.
At a Sept 12, 2011 Dover City council meeting a review of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice was discussed . As a federal entitlement community that receives CDBG funds from HUD the city
is required to certify that funds will be carried out and administered according to the fair housing act. It
was noted that HUD defines an impediment to fair housing choice as any actions, omissions, or decisions
that restrict, or have the effect of restricting, the availability of housing choices based on race, religion,
sex, disability, familial status, or national origin . Ann Marie Townshend reported that the city had
contracted a consulting firm to conduct the Analysis of Impediment which reviews entitlement
community's laws, regulations, and administrative policies and procedures affecting accessibility of
housing. This analysis outlines the impediments for Dover and provides recommendations and
strategies in order for the city to meet fair housing goals. Approval and implementation of the Fair
Housing Action Plan will preserve the City's eligibility for funding from HUD and protect the City in the
event of litigation relating to fair housing.
Responding to a question from Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the current
11
definition of family, in this context, is not more than five (5) unrelated people functioning as a
household, not including a butler." She explained that the difficulty is determining whether or
not people are functioning as a household. Mrs. Townshend indicated that staff plans to
conduct research on this topic and will submit an ordinance to redefine "family." Mr. Anderson
felt that there should not be any amendment that would hinder college students who are
residing together from obtaining affordable housing, noting this is a very important industry for
the City.
Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Harvey advised members that 2012 timelines were provided for
some of the Strategies to Address Impediments since the consultants felt that these measures
could be implemented within one (1) year; however, others were assigned a later date for
completion since the Comprehensive Plan will not be released until 2014. She noted that the
consultants suggested a five (5) year timeframe for implementation of many of the strategies.
Mrs. Townshend explained that she and Mrs. Harvey plan to set annual goals for achievement
of the objectives listed .
To this day the definition in the City of Dover Code is:
Family : One or more per sons occupying a dwellin.g unit as a single nonprofit
housekeeping unit. More tha ru five persons, exclusive 0£ domestic servants, or not more than
one boarder or r oomer, not rela ted by blood, marriage or adopt ion, shall n....o t be considered to
~onstitute one family.

Interesting to note that the Feb 2006 council minutes report that Mrs. Tracey Harvey advised members
that the Analysis of Impediments study completed by the Center for Community Research U of D
completed in Sept of 2003 and the addendum of Jan 2004 identified the following impediments and the
need for corrective actions to remedy the; Lack of Affordable Housing General and for Persons with
Disabilities; lack of Fair Housing Education and Outreach and Segregated Housing and Fair Housing
Programs and Activities for the City of Dover.
According to The Federal Office of Housing and Urban Development definitions of what constitutes a
family are very clearly defined. The Equal Access Rule defines family as follows:
Family includes, but is not limited to, regardless of marital status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, or
gender identity, the following:
1. A single person, who may be an elderly person, displaced person, disabled person, near-elderly
person, or any other single person; or,
2. A group of persons residing together, and such group includes, but is not limited to:
a. A family with or without children (a child who is temporarily away from the home because
of placement in foster care is considered a member of the family);
b. An elderly family;
c. A near-elderly family;
d. A disa bled family;
e. A displaced family; and,
f. The remaining member of a tenant family.
Family includes, but is not limited to, regardless of marital status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, or
gender identity, any group of persons presenting for assistance together with or without children and
irrespective of age, relationship, or whether or not a member of the household has a disability. A child who is
temporarily away from the home because of placement in foster care is considered a member of the family.
What this means is that any group of people that present together for assistance and identify themselves as a
family, regardless of age or relationship or other factors, are considered to be a family and must be served
together as such. Further, a recipient or subrecipient receiving funds under the ESG or Coe Program s cannot
discriminate against a group of people presenting as a family based on the composition of the family (e.g.,
adults and children or just adults), the age of any member's family, the disability status of any members of
the family, marital status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Here are two examples of how this might apply:
o An emergency shelter, transitional housing project, or permanent housing project that serves
households with children. While it is acceptable for a shelter or hou sing program to limit assistance
to households with children, it may not limit assistance to only women with children. Such a shelter
must also serve the following family types, should they present, in order to be in compliance with th e
Equal Access rule:
o Single male head of hou se hold with minor child(ren) ; and
o Any household mad e up of two or more adults, regardless of sexual orientation, marital status, or
gender identity, presenting with minor child(ren).
In this example, the emergency shelter or housing program would not be required to serve families
composed of only adult members and could deny access to these types of families provided that all
adult-only families are treate d equally, regardless of sexual orientation, marital status, or gender
identity.
Página 27
o A permanent supportive housing project under the Coe Program rule that serves chronically
homeless families. A permanent supportive housing program that serves families must serve all
types of families and cannot discriminate against any family based on marital status, actual or
perceived sexual orientation of the family members, or gender identities of the family members.
Therefore, if two adults present together as a family, the recipient or subrecipient must serve the
two adu lts as a family and may not require proof of marriage and may not limit assistance to couples
in a heterosexual relationship.
Group House of Port Washington v. Board of Zoning and Appeals of the Town of North Hempstead, 45 N.Y. 2d 266, at
272 (1978). The Town had defined family as
o "[o]ne (1) or more persons related by blood, marriage or legal adoption residing or cooking or warming food as a
single housekeeping unit; with whom there may not be more than two (2) boarders, roomers or lodgers who must
live together in a common household ."
o In a 4-3 decision, Court of Appeals held that the definition of "family" improperly excluded from its scope group
homes. The Court explained that in zoning for stable neighborhoods in a single family district, local governments must
include the functional and factual equ ivalents of natural families, as we ll as traditional families .
I. Guidelines to Drafting a Defin ition of Family
In light of the numerous state and federal court decisions on the subject of defining "fami ly," some guide lines may be
gleaned as to constitutionally permissible standards.
1. Preservation of the character of single-family areas remain s a legitimate purpose of zoning.
2. Zoning may not exclude a group which "in every way but a biological sense is a single family" (White
Plains, supra); or a household "which poses no threat to the goal of preserving the character of the
traditional single-family neighborhood" (McMinn supra) .
3. Court decisions have indicated that the "factu al and functiona l equivalent" of a traditional family of
unrelated perso ns may be evidenced by the following :
1. single housekeeping unit;
2. more or less permanent living arrangement;
3. stable, ratherthan transient living arrangements (e xcept where the handicap ped are affected};
4. a group headed by a hou se holder caring for a reasonable number of children as one would be
likely find in a biologically unitary family (White Plains 34 N.Y. 2d at 306) .
The Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution gives federal laws, such as the Fair Housing Act,
precedence over conflicting state and local laws. Consequently, the Fair Housing Act prohibits state and
local land use and zoning laws, policies, and practices that discriminate based on a characteristic
protected under the Fair Housing Act . As defined in the Fair Housing Act, prohibited practices include
making unava ilable or denying housing (including vacant land that may be developed into residences)
because of a protected characteristic.
Página 28
In a joint statement between HUD and DOJ practices that may violate the FHAA are :
o Prohibiting or restricting the development of housing based on the belief that the residents
have a particular protected characteristic, such as race, disability, or family status
o Imposing restrictions on housing because of alleged public safety concern s based on stereotypes
about the residents or anticipated residents who have protected characteristics.
o Refusing to provide reasonable accommodations to land use or zoning policies when such
accommodations may be necessary to allow persons with disabilities to have an equal
opportunity to use and enjoy housing.
A Land use or zoning practice can result in an unjustified discriminatory effect if it caused or predictably
will cause a disparate impact on a group of persons, or if it creates, increases, reinforces, or perpetuates
segregated housing patterns because of protected characteristics.
When enacting or applying zoning or land use laws, state and local governments may not act because of
the fears, prejudices, stereotypes, or unsubstantiated assumptions that community members may have
about current or prospective residents because of the residents protected characteristics.
A local government may not block a group home or deny a requested reasonable
accommodation in response to neighbors' stereotyping fears or prejudices about persons
with disabilities or a particular type of disability.
DEFINITION OF DISABILITY/ HANDICAP
The Fair Housing Act uses the term "handicap" instead of "disability." Under the Act,
"handicap" means, with respect to a person, or mental impairment which substantially limits
one or more major life activities; a record of such an impairment; or being regarded as having
such an impairment. This term does not include current, illegal use of or addiction to a
controlled substance. "Physical or mental impairment" includes:
1. any physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss
affecting one or more of the following body systems: neurological; musculoskeletal;
special sense organs; respiratory, including speech organs; cardiovascular; reproductive;
digestive; genito-urinary; hemic and lymphatic, skin; and endocrine; or
2. any mental or psychological disorder, such as mental retardation , organic brain
99
syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities.
The term "physical or mental impairment" includes, but is not limited to, such diseases and
conditions as orthopedic, vi sual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, autism,
epil 'ep sy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, mental retardation, emotional illness, drug addiction
(other than addiction caused by current, illegal use of a controlled substance) and
100
alcoholism.
" Major life activitie s" means functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual ta sks,
101
walkin g, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.
Página 29
In July of 2015 HUD announced the "Final Rule". Meaningful actions to address significant disparities in
housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated
and balanced living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into
areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintain compliance with the civil rights and fair housing laws.
The AFFH Final rules applies to States and local governments that received CPD formula grants (CDBG,
HOME, ESG, or HOPWA) as well as public housing agencies. Those agencies that were previously
required to complete the Al will now be required to complete will now conduct a new Assessment of
Fair Housing (AFH) .
The rights of recovering alcoholics and drug addicts to live in Oxford
Houses located in good neighborhoods are well established. A
memorandum summarizing cases involving Oxford House precedents

Board of Assessment Appeals
February 22, 2017
The Board of Assessment Appeals was brought to order by Chairman Garfinkel.
Board Members present were: Chairman William Garfinkel, James Galvin and Jim
Welsh. Staff present was City Assessor Cheryl A. Bundek and Administrative
Assistant Annette Hart.
Chairman Garfinkel called the meeting to order at 9:20 A.M.
Before the board started to go over the Exempt Audits, the Assessor wanted to give
an update on a few questions the board had from the meeting held on February 09,
2017.
The Assessor talked to the Assistant City Manager regarding 101 S New Street and
222 W Reed Street, owned by Union AME Church, and was told that the church
wants to give 222 W Reed Street to the city, because the city demolished the
building on this property and has accumulated $21,000 in demolition fees, which
the church cannot pay. The Assistant City Manager would like for this property to
remain exempt. The property located at 101 S New Street is the actual church.
After a brief discussion Mr. Galvin made the motion to keep both properties
exempt, which was seconded by Mr. Welsh. Motion carried 3-0.
Mrs. Bundek went on to talk about the properties located at 425 & 429 W. Division
Street, owned by Holy Trinity Church of the Living God. The board had concerns
regarding a building located between these two properties. The Assessor drove by
these properties and found that the building between these two addresses had been
demolished.
Mr. Galvin was concerned that there would be a tax lien on this property for a
demolition. Mrs. Bundek offered to check on this.
Mr. Galvin made the motion to keep 425 W. Division Street as exempt, but request
more information regarding 429 W. Division Street, which was seconded by Mr.
Welsh. Motion carried 3-0.
During the February 9, 2017 meeting the board requested more information
regarding the leases for the Modern Maturity center, especially the medical center
located toward the back of the property. Mrs. Bundek told the board that she went
through the packet once she returned to her office and found that the lease
1
Página 41
information was included in the packed.
She proceeds to go over the information provided.
Chairman Garfinkle was concerned that the medical center, which is part of the
Modern Maturity Center, was held as an investment property. Mr. Galvin raised
the question, whether only members were allowed to use the medical facility or
were non-members allowed as well? After some discussion the Board requested
the Assessor to get a legal opinion form deputy City Solicitor William P. Pepper
Sr. Esq. as well as mailing a letter to the Modern Maturity requesting them to meet
with the Board of Assessment Appeal, to answer any questions the board may
have.

Board of Assessment Appeals
February 23, 2017
The Board of Assessment Appeals was brought to order by Chairman Garfinkel.
Board Members present were: Chairman William Garfinkel, James Galvin, Jim
Welsh, Tom Burns and John Kelly. Staff present was City Assessor Cheryl A.
Bundek and Administrative Assistant Annette Hart.
Chairman Garfinkel called the meeting to order at 9:07 A.M.
The Assessor started the meeting by going over the Exempt Audits the board had
questions on from the day before, to get the opinions of Mr. Burns and Mr. Kelly,
because they were not able to attend the February 22, 2017 meeting.
Chairman Garfinkel had concerns regarding some organization renting some of
their rooms to other non-profit organizations. His was questioning if the rent
charged would be for profit? Mr. Galvin and Mr. Burns felt that as long as the rent
charged was below the market, the organization was not making a profit but
helping other charitable organizations and using the money to further their
charitable organization. The board came to an agreement to ask those organizations
for their lease agreement and their Federal ID number, which should provide
enough information to make a determination regarding their exempt status. After
the board was done discussing some of those application and coming to a decision
whether to approve, deny or request more information, they continued to go over
the rest of the applications.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office.

the deadlines.
The property owner has submitted the proper documentation for our review, on March 30, 2017.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed.
No one from the organization was present for the hearing.
The Assessor started the hearing by letting the board know that the organization submitted the
requested information by March 30 ,2017, well after the deadline had past.
She proceeded to go over the information provided, in which it stated that the property at 2285
Forrest Ave consists of 76 acres of land, which was purchased to build a new Calvary Baptist
Church approximately 15 years ago. It was also explained that the church has not been able to
borrow any funds to build the new church nor has it been able to sell the current facility at which
time it was decided to lease 56 acres to Freeman Beachy owner of Beachy Farms for $90 per
acre at a total sum of $5,000 per year. (lease agreement was enclosed)
The letter also stated that those funds are deposited into an account which is slated for building a
new church.

of $20,000 was taken out with the City of Dover Planning and Inspections department a number

Mr. Burns asked Mrs. Bundek if a site plan had been submitted to the city at the time the permit
was taken out.
The Assessor told Mr. Burns that she had no knowledge about a site plan, at which time Mr.
Burns told the board that he would be comfortable with the exempt status if a site plan had been
submitted. He was disappointed that the organization did not feel it necessary to have a
representative present for the hearing.
Chairman Garfinkel shared Mr. Burns concern.
Mrs. Bundek asked for the City Deputy Solicitors opinion, at which time William W. Pepper Sr.
Esq. told the board that it is stated in the State Statue: “that property owned by a church and not
held by investment, is exempt”. Mr. Pepper pointed out that there is a similar case in Felton DE
were a church has owned a piece of property for 25 years with the intent to someday build a new
church.
Chairman Garfinkel’s concern was that one day a developer would try to buy the piece of vacant
land for a substantial amount of money, in his opinion the property is held by way of investment,
especially since it is leased as farmland.
After some discussion, Mr. Burns asked the Assessor what her opinion was, at which time she
told the board that she would go with the Deputy Solicitor’s advice, as he is the one that would
have to defend the decision.
Mr. Galvin expressed his concern about the size of the lot, in his opinion the lot is too big for just
a church, he was wondering what the organization is planning on using the access land for?
Chairman Garfinkel reiterated that in his opinion the property should be taxed for the following
reasons, the property is held for investment purposes, especially since the land is currently leased
by a farmer and the church is receiving payment and the fact that the property could be sold to a
developer at any time.
After further discussion Mr. Galvin made the motion to keep the property exempt which was
seconded by Mr. Burns.
Motion carried 2-0, Chairman Garfinkel opposed the motion.

Mr. Fred Way, Treasurer was present for the hearing.
Chairman Garfinkel asked the Assessor to start the hearing by explaining why the property was
denied the exempt status.
Mrs. Bundek told the board that the exempt status had been denied by the board due to the fact
that the parcel is not adjacent to the church and is not a paved parking lot. The board discussed
the property at the March 2017 meeting and had more questions, therefore denying the exempt
status prompting the owner to come before the Board. Mrs. Bundek provided the Board with an
aerial picture, giving a visual of the property.
Mr. Burns explained to the other board members, by looking at the picture and the map of this
property, that this parcel falls within a unique circumstance, due to the fact that the property
located between the church and the parcel in question cannot be purchased as it is an alley that
has not been abandoned. In his opinion the church would own this property would it not be an
alley, making the property in question, contiguous to the church property and therefore eligible
for the exempt status.
Mrs. Bundek told the board that this property is currently not exempt, but is being considered
because the church submitted the application at the time the audit papers for the other properties
the church owns were submitted.

once she gets back to the office.

Mr. Galvin asked if these two lots are also currently used for parking. Pastor Louden replied that
these two lots are seldom used for anything. He told the Board that the organization talked about
using them for a community garden for the time being.

Report to City Council: Planning Commission Recommendation of May 15, 2017
Page 2
Overview
The applicant’s property is divided into four parcels currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence
Zone). This rezoning request would rezone three of the four parcels from R-8 to IO (Institutional
and Office Zone).
The rezoning request is necessary due to the Planning Office’s ongoing project, assigned by City
Council in December 2015, to sunset nonresidential, nonconforming uses in the City’s residential
zones. This sunsetting is required under the Zoning Ordinance, Article 7 §1.53:
Article 7 Section 1. Nonconforming buildings and uses.
1.53 In any residence zone, any non-conforming use of buildings which is not permitted
under the provisions of this ordinance may be continued for a period of:
a) Twenty years after the effective date of this ordinance, or
b) Forty years after the initial construction of the building containing such use or
of any addition thereto adding 50 percent or more to the floor area occupied
by such use,
Whichever is the longer period, provided that, after the expiration of that period, such
nonconforming use shall be terminated. However, no such nonconforming use shall be
permitted to continue for a period exceeding two years, unless such use shall be
operated in conformance with performance standards established in article 5, section 8.
The effective date of the current Zoning Ordinance is April 21, 1975. As such sufficient time has
passed that most remaining nonconforming uses in the City’s residence zones must now be
discontinued or brought into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.
1412 College Road, the largest of the three parcels to be rezoned, is developed with a one-story
building used as a membership club. 1416 College Road contains a portion of the building’s
parking lot that, because it is on a separate parcel, would be considered a non-accessory parking
lot not permitted under R-8 Zoning. 1408 College Road is undeveloped, and used as a lawn area.
Though 1408 College Road is not subject to the sunsetting provisions, it is proposed for rezoning
so as to keep the applicant’s property under a single zoning classification as much as possible.
The fourth parcel is a triangular, wooded piece of land with no street frontage or address. This
parcel is not proposed for rezoning because it is designated for Open Space land use under the
2008 Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning the property would make it easier to develop this parcel,
going against the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
Surrounding Land Uses:
Across the street to the north of the property are one-family dwellings in the Fox Hall
neighborhood, zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). These dwellings back onto rather than
front on College Road. To the east of the property are additional one-family dwellings zoned R-8
fronting on College Road, as well as woodland areas on undeveloped portions of several large
properties. To the south of the property are more woodlands and lands of the Delaware Housing
Authority known as Liberty Court Apartments, zoned RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone).
Finally, to the west of the property are one-family dwellings fronting on College Road zoned R-7
(One Family Residence Zone) and lands of the Milford Housing Development Corporation
known as the Village at McKee Branch, zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone).

Comprehensive Plan:
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan depicts two different land use classifications for the parcels
subject to rezoning on Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map. See Land Development Plan
Exhibit.
1412 College Road is depicted with the Institutional land use classification category. Table 12-1:
Land Use and Zoning Matrix specifies that the following zones are compatible with this land use
classification:
- IO (Institutional and Office)
1408 and 1416 College Road are depicted with the Residential Medium Density land use
classification category. Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix specifies that the following
zones are compatible with this land use classification:
- R-8 (One Family Residential)
- R-7 (One Family Residential)
- RM-1 (Medium Density Residential)
- RM-2 (Medium Density Residential)
- RG-1 (General Residential)
- RG-2 (General Residential)
- RG-3 (Group Housing)
- RGO (General Residence and Office)
- C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial)
- MHP (Mobile Home Park) [Now MH (Manufactured Housing)]
The IO Zone is not a permitted zoning classification under the Residential Medium Density land
use classification category. Because of this the Planning Office requested the Office of State
Planning Coordination designate this rezoning as a Minor Variation from the Land Development
Plan of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan in order to accommodate the proposed zoning. In review,
Planning Staff has determined that this is a Minor Variation in accordance with the provisions of
our adopted Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 15 – Implementation, page 183). The following is the
language regarding Minor Variations:
1. Minor Variations - Any application for rezoning or annexation that is inconsistent with the
City of Dover’s Comprehensive Plan, but where the non-conformity is of a minor, relatively
insignificant nature shall be considered a minor variation. A rezoning shall be considered a
minor variation from the Comprehensive Plan when the following conditions are met:
a. The rezoning is of a unique circumstance and cannot set precedent for other lands
in the vicinity of the rezoning,
b. The relative size of the rezoning or the variation from the land use recommended
by the Comprehensive Plan is so minor that it would have no impact on the goals
and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and
c. The proposed zoning is adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of other similarly
zoned lands and would not alter the pattern of development in the area.
By letter of April 21, 2017 this rezoning request was confirmed by the Office of State Planning
Coordination as a Minor Variation from the Comprehensive Plan. See attached letter.
Request for IO (Institutional and Office Zone)
The uses permitted in the IO zoning district are listed in Article 3 §10 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Permitted uses in the IO Zone include business, professional, and governmental offices; banks;
research, design and development laboratories; public and institutional uses, including places of

public assembly; public utility rights of way and structures; day care centers; emergency shelters
and transitional housing. The IO Zone also conditionally permits Planned Senior Housing
Developments; firearm ranges; correctional facilities; public incinerators; hotels and restaurants.
The existing and proposed use as a membership club would be permitted in the IO Zone as a
place of public assembly.
Recommendation of the Planning Staff
and Recommendation of the Planning Commission:
Staff supports the rezoning request from R-8 to IO. Based on the fact that the Land Development
Plan depicts 1412 College Road with Institutional land use, while no other adjacent parcels are
similarly designated, it appears it was anticipated this property would eventually rezone to IO
back when the 2008 Comprehensive Plan was first adopted. Though 1408 and 1416 College
Road should have also been put under the Institutional land use classification category, the fact
that they were not does not pose an obstacle to the rezoning as it has been designated a Minor
Variation. The Staff recommendation was made without the benefit of hearing the comments of
surrounding landowners and residents as the Public Hearing had not yet occurred.
Following a public hearing on May 15, 2017, where the application’s representative and no
members of the public spoke regarding the proposed rezoning, the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended in favor of the rezoning as proposed (9-0). See the included excerpt
of the DRAFT Meeting Minutes of the May 15, 2017 Planning Commission meeting. The
comments received from the other member agencies of the Development Advisory Committee
(D.A.C.) are also provided.
ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT:
1) Formal Notice of Decision will indicate actions taken on this rezoning by the Planning
Commission and City Council, and will indicate the resolution (or lack thereof) of the
property’s nonconforming use status.
2) The applicant shall be aware that following any decision made by City Council in regards to
approval of this rezoning, that a Site Plan, Subdivision Plan and or appropriate Building
Permits must be submitted to the Planning Department prior to the establishment of a new
use or any construction activity on the site. The applicant should contact the Planning Staff

Z-17-03 Lands of Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge at 1408, 1412, and 1416 College
Road – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council for rezoning of three
parcels located on the southeast side of College Road. The properties are zoned R-8 (One
Family Residence Zone) and the proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The
owner of record is The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons
of the State of Delaware, Inc. Property Addresses: 1408 College Road, 1412 College Road, and
1416 College Road. Tax Parcels: ED-05-067.14-01-47.00-000, ED-05-067.18-01-11.00-000, and
ED-05-067.18-01-09.00-000. Council District 4. Ordinance #2017-05. For this zoning map
amendment, the First Reading was completed on April 24, 2017. Public Hearing before the
Planning Commission is scheduled for May 15, 2017 and Final Reading/Public Hearing is
scheduled before City Council for June 12, 2017.
Representatives: Mr. Isaac Morris, The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and
Accepted Masons of the State of Delaware, Inc; Mr. C. B. Cloud, The Most Worshipful Prince
Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Delaware, Inc
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is an application for rezoning. It does involve three
properties on College Road, specifically the addresses of 1408, 1412 and 1416. In the aerial that is
presented on the screen, the property is pretty much right in the center of the picture. There is kind
of a large square white roof and then a surrounding paved area that leads to College Road. It is an
application of three parcels and the three parcels total 4.48 acres. It is currently the location of a
membership club and its associated parking lot and the proposed use is to continue as the same (a
membership club with the associated parking lot). The present zoning of the three parcels is R-8
(One Family Residence Zone) and the proposed zoning classification is IO (Institutional and
Office Zone). This property was identified as part of the study of non-conforming uses in residence
zones that the Planning Office has been conducting over the past year in response to a City Council
request. This property has the opportunity to seek rezoning in order to come into compliance with
that non-conforming issue. Currently, the use as the membership club would not be something that
is a conforming use under the R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). The three properties in particular
are three of the four that are owned by The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and
Accepted Masons of the State of Delaware, Inc. The main lodge building is on the property that is
addressed 1412 College Road. The parcel addressed 1408 College Road is basically un-developed.
It is the lawn area that is adjacent to the driveway leading to the parking lot. The property as 1416
College Road includes a portion of the building’s parking lot. The lodge is in ownership of a fourth
parcel of land which is a large triangular wooded piece that has no street frontage; however, it is
not proposed for rezoning. It’s used as an open space area.
Surrounding this area is a lot of different residential zoning; however, the Comprehensive Plan
shows this area as an Institutional land-use classification which clearly allows the property to be
rezoned to IO (Institutional and Office Zone). Even at the time of the Comprehensive Plan in 2008
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017 Page 1 of 4
Página 101
that was anticipated. The other two parcels at 1408 and 1416 College Road are shown in the
Comprehensive Plan as Residential Medium Density. Typically, the zoning classification of IO
(Institutional and Office Zone) would not fit that land use category; however, they explored the
opportunity of those two parcels to be recognized as what is termed a “Minor Variation” from the
Land Development Plan in the Comprehensive Plan. A Minor Variation is an application for
rezoning that while it is inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan it is where the non-
conformity is of a minor and relatively insignificant nature. There are specific conditions that must
be met in order for it to be considered a Minor Variation. Staff did that review and determined that
it does fit to be designated a Minor Variation and by letter of April 21, 2017 the Office of State
Planning Coordination concurred with that decision that the two smaller parcels would be
considered a Minor Variation of the Comprehensive Plan and thus eligible to also be rezoned to
the IO (Institutional and Office Zone) category.
The existing and proposed use as a membership club would continue to be permitted in the IO
(Institutional and Office Zone). It would be classified as a place of public assembly. The
recommendation of Planning Staff is to support the Rezoning request from R-8 (One Family
Residence Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) for all three parcels. They note that the
Planning Commission makes a recommendation and City Council is the final determination of a
Rezoning application. The Development Advisory Committee Report continues with the
information from the participating agencies. The City Electric Department and Public Works
Department have no objection to the Rezoning. They do add some advisory comments should any
re-development be anticipated. The Fire Marshal’s Office has no objection to the Rezoning and
they note that the Fire Marshal’s Office conducts annual fire and life safety inspections at the
property and that the building is sprinklered and has a hood suppression system related to kitchen
activities. DelDOT had no comments and the Kent Conservation District also had no objection to
the Rezoning of these parcels.
Mr. Holden questioned if R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) under a conditional use would allow
the current use of this property? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that it
would. The R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) allows for a “private membership club” but it
would be subject to conditional use review for the application. That is certainly a path forward that
could be pursued. Staff felt that because of the size of the property and the Comprehensive Plan
that rezoning it to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) was most appropriate and since the
Comprehensive Plan obviously anticipated that. The other two smaller parcels of land really are
part of the larger operation of the building itself. The parking lot is partially on one lot and the
other one is clearly lawn area and would be subject to fairly substantial setbacks for any kind of
development activity should anything be proposed in the future.
Ms. Maucher questioned what the activity was on the property in 2008 when the Comprehensive
Plan was created? Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she believes that
it was still the lodge facility. It has been there for some time. We can certainly hear from the
representatives that may have a little more background on the history of its establishment there.
Mr. Morris stated that he is the Deputy Grand Master of The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Delaware, Inc. which make him second in
charge. Mr. Cloud is managing the building from day to day. This facility was specifically for The
Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017 Page 2 of 4
Página 102
Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Delaware,
Inc and we have several other chapters of the Order of Eastern Stars as well as different lodges that
meet in that building regularly. They have all types of functions there and they try to keep this
within a strictly business and private thing. In 2008, it was owned by a group of fellows that
happened to be Masons but they operated the building a little differently. They no longer do that
and when they purchased this property in April 2015, they basically closed the bar. They close
down by 11 PM and they don’t have loud music. There is no outside activity except once a year for
their annual picnic which is on a Sunday or unless someone wants to use the small area for
marriage which they have had requests for. They are in the process of updating the building;
providing new heating systems and new electrical repairs that were neglected before and they are
going to beautify the whole area including a new parking lot. The parking lot is going to be paved
in June and they plan to be here for a while. They had another building in Wilmington, DE and
they sold that building and purchased this building. Part of that building (purchase) was a facility
on Reed Street and they sold that building to a developer who has built townhouses at that
location. They are planning on being a respectable and honorable resident in that area, realizing
that there are people who live in that area as well.
Mr. Tolbert questioned if they purchased the building in 2015? Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr.
Morris stated yes, they purchased the building in April 2015 from The Square Club Inc.
Mr. Tolbert stated that the building was owned by the Masons at that time as well. Responding to
Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Morris stated no; it was owned by people who were Masons but it wasn’t
controlled by The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the
State of Delaware, Inc. The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons of the State of Delaware, Inc controls all Prince Hall Masons.
Dr. Jones stated that as she was doing some reading and she sees that Staff has made a
recommendation without the benefit of hearing the comments from surrounding land owners and
residents. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated yes, that is a standard note that
they include in all Rezoning applications. The fact is that there is a public hearing that occurs
before the Planning Commission where there may be public testimony in regards to the application
as well as in front of City Council where there is another public hearing.
Dr. Jones stated that tonight would be that night. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Melson-Williams
stated that tonight would the night to hear from members of the public in regards to the
application.
Mr. Tolbert opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public
hearing.
Dr. Jones moved to recommend approval to City Council for Z-17-03 Lands of Most Worshipful
Prince Hall Grand Lodge at 1408, 1412, and 1416 College Road to change the zoning from R-8
(One Family Residence Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone), seconded by Mr. Holt and the
motion was carried 9-0 by roll call vote. Mr. Holden voting yes; as it follows the 2008
Comprehensive Plan and there is no public concern over the matter. Mr. Roach voting yes; it
makes sense since the three parcels are already being interchanged as far as with the existing uses

Página 103
of the main one so we might as well make them all IO (Institutional and Office Zone). Ms. Edwards
voting yes; based on the previous statements as well as the fact that it will bring it in to compliance
with the current Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Holt voting yes; as it fits in with the City of Dover
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; because of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and there
are no rebuttals from the neighborhood. Dr. Jones voting yes; for all of the for mentioned reasons
and she looks forward to the changes and the beautification that’s coming in that area. Mrs. Welsh
voting yes; for all of the comments as far as the zoning classification and the compliance of the
rezoning of the three parcels. Ms. Maucher voting yes; for the reasons previously stated. Mr.
Tolbert voting yes; the application will bring the applicant in compliance with the Ordinance and
he thinks that is very necessary at this point.

• Associated with Rezoning Application Z-17-03 Lands of Most Worshipful Prince
Hall Grand Lodge at 1408, 1412, and 1416 College Road
Dear Mrs. Holland and Mr. Edgell:
The City of Dover is in the process of considering Application Z-17-03 to rezone a series of
three properties on College Road in order to bring an existing nonconforming use currently
located in a residential zone into compliance. The proposal was reviewed for compliance with
Land Development Plan Map 12-1 and Table 12-1 Land Use and Zoning Matrix of the 2008
Comprehensive Plan. During review of the proposed zoning, we determined that the main
property (1412 College Road) is consistent with the land use classification category of
Institutional as shown on the Land Development Plan Map. However, the two associated parcels
at 1408 and 1416 College Road are shown with the land use classification category of
Residential Medium Density which is inconsistent. These two properties include improvements
(parking lot areas and yard areas) associated with the use of the property at 1412 College Road
as a Membership Club and are held by the same ownership entity. See Summary Table below.

In review, we have determined that this is a Minor Variation in accordance with the provisions of

Page 2 of2
1. Minor Variations - Any application for rezoning or annexation that is inconsistent with the
City of Dover's Comprehensive Plan, but where the non-conformity is of a minor, relatively
insignificant nature shall be considered a minor variation. A rezoning shall be considered a
minor variation from the Comprehensive Plan when the following conditions are met:
a. The rezoning is of a unique circumstance and cannot set precedent for other
lands in the vicinity of the rezoning,
b. The relative size of the rezoning or the variation from the land use recommended
by the Comprehensive Plan is so minor that it would have no impact on the goals
and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and
c. The proposed zoning is adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of other similarly
zoned lands and would not alter the pattern of development in the area.
The following Exhibits demonstrate the location of the Minor Variation; see attached Zoning
Map Exhibit and Land Development Plan Map Exhibit. It appears that the presence of the
Membership Club as an Institutional land use was recognized during the development of the
Comprehensive Plan; however, the complete extent of the adjacent associated properties was not
included.
With this letter and attachments, the Planning Office submits this request for the designation of
Minor Variation for the properties at 1408 and 1416 College Road, bover. Should you have any
questions, I can be reached at (302) 736-7196 or dmelson@dover.de.us.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Council Committee of the Whole met on May 23, 2017 at 6:01 p.m., with Council President
Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler (arrived at 6:02 p.m.),
Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Polce. Mr. Hare and Mayor Christiansen were absent.
Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell (Parks, Recreation, and
Community Enhancement), Mr. Keller (Safety Advisory and Transportation), and Mr. Blakeman
(Utility). Mrs. Horsey (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mr. Shelton (Safety
Advisory and Transportation), and Ms. Arndt (Utility) were absent.
UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously
carried.
The Energy Authority - Presentation of Electric Utility Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)
Mr. William Clarke, Executive Director, Strategic Innovations & Analytics, The Energy Authority
(TEA) recognized team members Ms. Lisa Dohogne, Mr. Jim Ford, and Ms. Arlene Holloway who
assisted in preparing the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). He attributed the success of the project to
TEA’s close collaboration with Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager and Mr. Harry Maloney,
Electric Director. Mr. Clarke reviewed a presentation, entitled “The Energy Authority (TEA)/City
of Dover 20-Year Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).”
Referring to Mr. Clarke’s comment that spending $2.1M on the Vans Sant plant now would typically
save $11M or more over the study period, Mr. Anderson asked if these amounts were the present
value and if inflation, etc., had been calculated. Mr. Clarke responded that the amounts were present
value and he believed that an escalation rate of approximately 2% was used in the process, as well
as a discount rate from approximately 3.6%. He noted that everything in the future had been
included and discounted back.
Mr. Sudler questioned if they had seen numbers or variables in scenarios from other cities that were
not included in the estimates that TEA provided for the City of Dover. Responding, Mr. Clarke
indicated that TEA generated and provided the market prices, fuel prices, the cost of new capacity,
and the load forecast. He indicated that many of the numbers were generated by TEA because TEA
was hired by the City based upon the type of work they do. Mr. Clarke stated that TEA found, when
looking at the market conditions, that the plan was robust across all uncertainties. Mr. Clarke noted
that these uncertainties could have an impact on the Request for Proposals (RFP); however, they felt
strongly that there would not be a change in their recommendation.
In regard to electric forecasting, Mr. Neil stated that solar panels had improved tremendously and
noted that the City was supposed to have reserved a section of land for additional solar power in the
area where a new civic center had been planned for construction. He asked if this was considered
Página 119
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 2
in the report and what improvements in solar technology would bring to the table. Responding,
Mr. Clarke stated that the study included current numbers and projections of what solar costs would
be. He indicated that there had been a very dramatic reduction in cost per unit of solar to 20% or less
of previous numbers. Mr. Clarke advised that they had not looked at specific land in the City for
solar energy; however, he indicated, from working at other locations, that solar energy takes
approximately eight (8) acres per MW of capacity and the amount of acreage needed for a City
facility could be determined by multiplying 30MW by eight (8).
Mr. Neil noted that a section of landfill-type land was supposed to be held for the sole purpose of
solar panels, and a portion of land was to be turned over to Delaware State University. Mr. Clarke
stated that this would be an excellent opportunity to use this land for all or part of the 30MW that
is recommended.
Mr. Slavin asked if the modeling for 30MW of solar included possible land acquisition. Responding,
Mr. Clarke indicated that industry standard numbers were used and, although there was not an exact
amount of land in these industry numbers, they made an assessment by considering the net present
value basis for each $1M of extra cost for land. He stated that approximately 80% - 90% of this
amount was reflected in the net present value and had an impact. Mr. Clarke advised that TEA did
not look at the City’s individual land cost, explaining that they did not know the City’s land and did
not feel that this was a part of the study. He noted that they did not want to get in conflict with real
estate people.
*Mr. Slavin thanked Mr. Clarke and his team for the study and Mrs. Mitchell for pursuing this
matter, and he encouraged taking a long view before making any decisions. He noted the Council’s
challenges in considering this issue, stating that Council members are part-time legislators, none of
whom are in the utility or energy business. Mr. Slavin commented that key decision-makers, such
as Council members, may turn over two or four times in the 20-year forecast and that the knowledge
transfer between members is almost nonexistent. He asked Mr. Clarke to speak to the inherited risk
involved, explaining that he felt there was a lot of risk in being asked to make decisions about a very
complicated set of issues that members are not conversant in. Mr. Slavin stated that Council relies
on consultants, and he questioned who vets the information that they receive from experts and
consultants.
In response, Mr. Clarke stated that he had also received information from consultants over the years
and stated that, in addition to turnover, there is much uncertainty with a 20-year plan. He indicated
that things could change that are outside the assumptions that were put in place. Mr. Clarke advised
that members could fall back on people like Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Maloney for guidance, who
would challenge TEA and ask them questions until they are comfortable with the information, so that
Council would feel confident that they are getting good answers. He stated that there is a risk
because decisions would be made for something that would be in place for 20 years. Mr. Clarke
advised that a self build would be there for 30 years; therefore, it is necessary to know the risk being
taken on. He explained that there was also a risk in not taking on a plan, because if the City does
not have generation and future load, its costs would increase and reliability could suffer.
Mr. Anderson stated that the City would be looking to retire the McKee Run plant in approximately
seven (7) years and asked how long it would take to build a new plant in compliance with existing
Página 120
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 3
regulations. He questioned if the plant was approximately 100 MW, when work would have to start,
and what the time line would be for making a decision. Responding, Mr. Clarke advised that the net
capacity of McKee Run was approximately 102 MW and there was a potential retirement of the plant
in 2027. He noted that the plant seldom runs, partly because of the operating cost and fuel
availability. Mr. Clarke stated that the PJM calls on the plant when needed, stating that it was called
upon in the last few days to operate for a few hours. He advised that the plant was a hedge against
market conditions, and not having long-term ownership of purchased power or generation would put
the City at risk from the uncertainty of future market prices. Mr. Clarke estimated that permitting,
ordering, and construction would take approximately four (4) or five (5) years on average.
Mr. Anderson asked if this estimate would apply to replacing an existing plant. Responding,
Mr. Clarke indicated that demolishing the McKee Run plant and building on its site would probably
add time to the estimate, and the City would probably be better off by using other land. He indicated
that the existing site might be considered a brownfield-type site. Mr. Clarke indicated that the City
had a window of a couple of years before making this decision.
In response to Mr. Anderson regarding the definition of an unforced capacity obligation, Mr. Clarke
advised that a unit may have a capacity limitation of 100 MW, but its capability is tested in a real
world condition and, due to operational conditions, the market may only consider 90 MW or 95MW
toward the obligation. He noted that there may be unplanned outages, equipment failures, etc.
Mr. Anderson noted that a new plant would likely operate with higher efficiency and be called on
more often. He asked how this would affect the trade-offs and if as much capacity would be needed
with the new plant. Mr. Clarke advised that there were two (2) concepts being discussed. He noted,
first, that capacity is needed to meet the obligations of PJM, and a unit with 50 MW of capacity
would provide 50 MW toward the City’s obligation. Mr. Clarke stated that if there is 100 MW of
load and a 16% reserve requirement, a capacity of 116 MW is needed. He advised that once the City
has that capacity, the market will be looking for the energy from it and will compare how economical
and efficient the City’s plant is compared with everything else on the marketplace. Mr. Clarke stated
that a new unit would be more efficient and would be called upon much more often than the existing
facilities. He indicated that the market would buy the energy produced and this would become a
revenue source.
Mr. Blakeman stated that this energy would not become a revenue source but would offset having
to purchase power, because the plant is not running. He stated that when generation is brought on,
the energy would be consumed and would not be available to sell. Mr. Blakeman advised that the
City would not have to buy energy, but the power would be generated and used on the City’s own
system unless there is a price difference large enough to offset the purchase.
Mr. Clarke explained that in today’s Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) market
environment, the market dictates when, how much, and what energy will be generated, and the City
of Dover is part of this whole. He stated that the City, as well as the rest of the PJM market, needs
a specific amount of energy to serve its load, and the City buys from the market for this purpose.
Mr. Clarke advised that if there is more generation than needed, this is a revenue source. He stated
that the City’s units support the City on the capacity side to meet its obligations. Mr. Clarke
indicated that if the units are not running they are not getting revenue from the market, but the load
Página 121
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 4
is getting a charge from the market. He stated that by having a unit that runs more, the City would
sell more energy to the market, which would then be a pure revenue source.
Mr. Blakeman asked if the energy goes to the market or to the Dover system first. Responding,
Mr. Clarke advised that it goes to the market first. He stated that the market is buying energy, and
the City is buying from the market. Mr. Clarke indicated that, from a financial perspective of dollar
flow, the market is giving the City dollars for revenue and taking dollars from the City on cost. He
noted that the electrons may be located in the City, but from a settlement and dollar flow perspective,
the City is receiving revenue and getting a charge from the market, and it does not matter where the
energy is generated. Mr. Clarke compared the energy electricity market to a big pond that people
put water into and take water out of.
Referring to page 25 of the presentation, Qualitative Risks, Mr. Blakeman pointed out the statement
that there was a risk of having no generation and only a Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) should
there be a systemwide outage. He advised that this had been an issue only twice during his 43 years
of experience with the City’s Electric Department. Mr. Blakeman explained that, during the 1950s,
an operator at the St. Jones power plant saw Delmarva going down, separated, and kept the City’s
power on. In addition, he stated that during the East Coast blackout the City was able to get back
online before the rest of the system. Mr. Blakeman stated that while a systemwide outage was
indicated to be a concern in the presentation, in actuality it had not been a big issue for the City of
Dover. Responding, Mr. Clarke stated that such an event may not be a driver but was a point to be
aware of and think about.
Mr. Blakeman stated that if the City was to go entirely with purchased power, all the variables and
uncertainties discussed would generally go away except for the purchased power cost, because there
would be no generation. Mr. Clarke indicated that this was correct and noted that by obtaining a
longer-term contract, the City would try to minimize the uncertainty around this one (1) variable.
Mr. Blakeman stated that getting rid of a lot of uncertainties and trying to deal with the one (1)
remaining uncertainty by contracting out was not a bad position to be in. Mr. Clarke agreed, but he
encouraged having something that the City would own, whether it is a purchased power agreement
or steel in the ground in the City or somewhere else.
Referring to page 26, Sensitivities, Mr. Blakeman pointed out the statement, “Recommended
strategies not affected significantly by the sensitivities studied for high gas price, low gas price, more
restrictive carbon constraints, and higher RPS requirements.” He also referred to the statement on
page 73 of the City of Dover 2017 Integrated Resource Plan, under Market Risks, that “One of the
largest sources of risk on a forward basis for any thermal unit is cost and availability of fuel.”
Mr. Blakeman questioned why the cost and availability of fuel were not considered as a large source
of risk in regard to the recommendations relating to sensitivities. In response, Mr. Clarke indicated
that, in general, fuel was one (1) of the most volatile assumptions and this was a key point; however,
it was not a driver when looking at the recommendations. He stated that when looking at low gas,
base gas, and high gas, the same answer was obtained in regard to the recommendations.
Mr. Blakeman expressed his understanding that fuel price was a variable that did not have a big
impact. Responding, Mr. Clarke stated that the recommendations related more to capital costs, the
efficiency assumptions of the units, and how fuel is used. Mr. Blakeman stated that gas prices would
not have a big impact on this.
Página 122
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 5
Referring to page 30 of the presentation, Mr. Blakeman pointed out the statement that, “To make up
for the capacity shortfall in 2024, it is recommended an RFP is issued for 50 MWs of capacity to
firm up IRP pricing and cost comparison. The options for this RFP should include a Purchase Power
Agreement, Installation of 30 MW of Solar PV (11.4 MWs PJM Capacity, Self-Build (GT or RICE
installation).” He noted that 200 or 250 acres would be needed for the installation of 30 MWs of
solar photovoltaics. Mr. Clarke stated that this would be needed if the City were to build solar itself,
noting that eight (8) acres would be needed per MW of capacity.
Mr. Blakeman asked if a reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) would be a diesel or
gas-fired unit, and Mr. Clarke advised that it would be gas fired. Mr. Blakeman questioned where
the City would obtain gas. Responding, Mr. Clarke stated that the City’s gas supply is sufficient for
its existing units because they do not run very often; however, if something new was put in with
higher efficiency that could run more often, there would be a need for a more firm gas supply. He
stated that an assumption was made that the City could get this supply, noting that there would be
a cost to accommodate this. Mr. Clarke stated that, as a company, TEA had looked at what could
be obtained in the way of gas. He indicated that they felt that they could obtain it and that the cost
they included was reasonable for that gas capacity.
Mr. Blakeman noted that the City had not been able to get sufficient firm gas to run Unit #3 at the
plant, and Calpine had to pay to have a private pipeline built; therefore, gas availability could
become an issue. Mr. Clarke responded that this was a fair concern. He reiterated that TEA had
included an assumption that they could get gas into the City, and there was a premium put on the
price to do that. He explained that it would be unknown if the City could get gas until actually going
out to get it; however, they tried to accommodate this uncertainty by putting dollars on it.
Responding to Mr. Blakeman regarding the definition of “tranche,” as referred to on page 28 of the
presentation, Mr. Clarke explained that, in this case, tranche referred to an amount of supplies or a
block of capacity that TEA recommended that the City obtain.
In reference to page 23 of the City of Dover 2017 Integrated Resource Plan, Mr. Blakeman pointed
out the statement that, “Electric utilities must have both generation capacity resources and the ability
to provide electrical energy instantaneously to serve its retail customers.” He asked if utilities must
have generation. Responding, Mr. Clarke stated that there must be generation somewhere, either
produced by the utility or obtained through purchased power. Mr. Blakeman noted that eight (8)
other municipal systems have little or no generation and they operate from purchased power.
Mr. Blakeman referred to the statement on page 24 of the City of Dover 2017 Integrated Resource
Plan that, “The design of the capacity market, the associated uncertainties of the supply-demand
balance and the frequent modifications to the RPM rules result in significant variability of the RPM
capacity prices. RPM capacity prices for the DPL-South zone, which Dover is in, has ranged from
a low of $2.51 per MW-Day to a high of $245/MW-Day over the last five years.” He asked what
the trend was on the capacity prices. Responding, Mr. Clarke stated that prices oscillate, are very
volatile, and were expected to increase over the long term, but it was not known how much they
would increase.
Página 123
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 6
Referring to page 24 of the City of Dover 2017 Integrated Resource Plan, Mr. Blakeman referred to
the statement that “The maximum price for the auctions is 1.5 times the Net Cost of New Entry (Net
CONE), or $394/MW-Day for the upcoming BRA for Delivery Year 2021, at a potential cost of
$25.9 million to Dover.” He questioned the meaning of “BRA,” and Mr. Clarke explained that this
referred to Base Residual Auctions.
Mr. Blakeman referred to the statement on page 24 of the City of Dover 2017 Integrated Resource
Plan that “Dover's annual locational reliability charge could have range from $165,000 to
$65.1 million,” and he questioned the reason for such a wide variation. Responding, Ms. Dohogne
explained that the auction is based upon what people submit to cover their cost, the available
capacity in PJM, and the City of Dover and its zone, noting that what is accepted and what is
available can vary. In response to Mr. Blakeman regarding the anticipated cap, Ms. Dohogne stated
that there is a large cap that is called the Cost of New Entry (CONE). She noted that people submit
their bids into the auction to cover their fixed costs, which they try to recover.
Referring to the Risk Factors listed on pages 72-75 of the City of Dover 2017 Integrated Resource
Plan, Mr. Blakeman questioned which of these factors the City should be most concerned about.
Responding, Mr. Clarke stated that one (1) of the biggest uncertainties was the regulatory risk factor
regarding what would happen in the federal government over the next 20 years from an emissions
perspective.
Mr. Blakeman asked if new technology was being developed that may be a big game changer for
electric supply and generation. In response, Mr. Clarke stated that there were many opinions on this;
however, storage was one (1) such factor. He explained that there are limitations for wind, rooftop
solar, or other large solar facilities; however, storage capability tied to a utility grade, along with
solar and the wind energy, would be a game changer. Mr. Clarke indicated that this technology was
in its early stages, companies like Tesla were working on it, and California was mandating the
amounts and types of storage. He expressed his personal opinion that perfecting utility grade storage
would change the game a lot.
Mr. Blakeman stated that power plants are needed because renewable energy cannot be used if the
sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. Mr. Clarke advised that this would change when
there are places to store energy. He explained that in California they are talking about a “duck
curve,” where there is so much renewable energy that fossils are backed off in the middle of the day
and then relied on once the sun starts to go down, when there is a steep climb. He noted that this
curve could be flattened out through storage. He expressed the need to be ready to be part of this
from a utility perspective.
Mr. Polce stated his understanding that the goal of the plan was to reduce costs and create greater
sustainability. He asked whether Mr. Clarke had seen, historically through work done in the past,
impact on local economies in the attraction or retention of economic drivers. In response, Mr. Clarke
stated that if cost drivers are kept down, this helps the local economy. From an anecdotal
perspective, he advised that formerly served as an assistant GM for a municipal utility in Indiana that
was not much different from Dover. Mr. Clarke stated it was found that if they could keep their
costs down, they were able to attract more commercial and industrial customers. He noted that there
Página 124
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 7
is always a question of how to balance the costs between commercial and industrial versus the
residential sectors. Mr. Clarke stated that anytime a community can manage the cost to the users of
its commodity, this will help grow the customer base.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and
unanimously carried.
Quarterly Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and
Water/Wastewater)
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager, reviewed the Utility Related Capital Investment Plan
(CIP) Projects (Electric and Water/Wastewater). In regard to General Fund projects, she stated that
work was continuing on the Old PW2 Site Improvements; Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works
Director, was working on a voluntary cleanup program plan for the site and soils were being tested.
Mrs. Mitchell advised that the Silver Lake Valve Replacement project had been completed and an
annual inspection of the dam was included in next year’s budget. She indicated that the Salt Storage
Barn project was complete, although the invoice had not yet been paid. Mrs. Mitchell stated that
concrete and asphalt were poured during the past week. She explained that Mr. Neil had met with
herself and Mrs. Duca regarding the Persimmon Park Place Drainage Study, which was being
discussed with some of the customers, and letters were being sent out.
In regard to recreation projects, Mrs. Mitchell noted that the Dover Park Master Plan had been
started and a meeting had been held regarding the park with Mr. David Hugg, Acting Director of
Planning and Community Development, last week. She advised that many of the recreation projects
had been started but would not be completed this year and their funding had been moved to next
year’s budget. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that the Street and Alley Program was underway. She
advised that documents had been received for the Silver Lake Dam improvements, and staff was
working on getting this awarded.
In regard to Electric Fund projects, Mrs. Mitchell advised that staff was working through Metering
System Upgrades, which would be a long-range project over several years. She stated that the Van
Sant Capacity Increase project was complete, and the Horsepond Road 69 kV Rebuild was also
complete and awaiting release of final billing. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the Towne Point/White
Oak Distribution Feeders was another multi-year project in process. She explained that the Van Sant
Exhaust Plenum Replacement Project was awaiting final invoices. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the
Unit #3 Stack Repairs were complete. In regard to the 69 kV Cable Replacement on North Street,
she stated that engineering work had started and noted that this project had been pushed out because
the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) had to complete their work at this location
first. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the Horsepond Road Underground Distribution Feeders were
complete and some of the new upgrades at the Oak Grove Trailer Park and Dover East Estates were
in process. She indicated that the North Street Overhead to Underground project was also being
scheduled around DelDOT. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the Meeting House Branch Pole Relocation
would not be completed this year but would be moved out because of the work that must go into the
cleanup of Old PW2.
In regard to the Water/Wastewater Improvement and Extension Fund projects, Mrs. Mitchell advised
that there had been problems acquiring land for the 1 MG Elevated Water Storage Tank and
Página 125
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 8
Mrs. Duca was getting ready to work on the water model to determine whether or not that tank was
still needed. She indicated that the Westover Pump Station was still in process, the Hazlettville
Road Interceptor was awaiting the final retainage invoice, as well as the Retreat Pump Station.
Mrs. Mitchell advised that the Rolling Acres Pump Station was in process and awaiting materials
for construction. She noted that the Delaware Avenue Sanitary Sewer Extension was scheduled to
begin in April; however, she believed it had not yet been started and indicated that she would check
with Mrs. Duca on this. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the new fence at Well #6 was complete and most
of the rest of this year’s projects were in process. She noted that the Bradford Street Survey was
completed and the Delaware Tech Pump Station and all of the 2017 wastewater projects were in
design or construction stages.

Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:17 p.m.
SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE
The Special Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler
presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously
carried.
Proposed Resolution No. 2017-07 - Establishment of a City Community Sustainment Fund
Through Voluntary Contributions (Sponsor: Anderson)
Mr. Anderson advised that the City’s finances were in good condition, as suggested by its bond
rating upgrades; however, the State was having some challenges. He noted that the federal
government had been claiming tight budgets for 30 years; therefore, there was a reason for local
people to take care of local problems. Mr. Anderson stated that a gentleman had suggested a
voluntary system whereby people could contribute a dollar to make a difference, and Proposed
Resolution No. 2017-07 would provide a mechanism to implement this suggestion. He explained
that the Proposed Resolution would give the City some insurance against federal cuts to Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Mr. Anderson indicated that there was currently a
Página 126
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 9
proposal to zero out CDBG funding and, although he doubted that this would happen, he stated that
there would probably be cuts greater than the 5% that had been projected, due to the current
dynamics. He stated that cutting other programs or raising taxes would be ways to replace the
money; however, he did not think that these were viable options, and he expressed his belief that
people would be willing to support their community. Mr. Anderson advised that there had been
many worthy projects that would not have happened without CDBG funding, including downtown
rebuilding, encouraging home ownership, helping seniors and low-income people to repair houses,
helping the homeless shelter, rebuilding Serenity Place, and saving the Elizabeth W. Murphy School.
Mr. Anderson explained that a negative checkoff system was proposed, whereby a "Dollar for a
Difference" would be added to utility bills on a voluntary basis. He advised that the program would
be voluntary but automatic; therefore, until a payer opts out, they would be in the program, resulting
in a reasonably steady and dependable stream of revenue. Mr. Anderson advised that typical
negative check off systems had historically shown 80% compliance and that even 10% compliance
would be enough to make up for an approximate 10-15% cut in CDBG funding; therefore, even
relatively low participation would offset cuts. He estimated that participation could top out around
$300,000 per year, and the probable return would be between $24,000 and $300,000. Mr. Anderson
indicated that the program would have to run for approximately six (6) months before gaining an
understanding of its acceptance by the community; therefore, the City would have to start the
program without doing any budgeting based on it. He advised that by the time the supplemental
budget is considered, around the beginning of the year, the federal budget would be known, and it
would then be known if there would be extra money for other charities, such as the Police Athletic
League or the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness. Mr. Anderson pointed out that the City
already has a mechanism to make awards through the Parks, Recreation, and Community
Enhancement Committee that includes an application process, point system, and professional
evaluation, so there would be no need to set up new criteria or do anything differently.
Mr. Anderson reiterated that negative checkoff compliance rates are reasonably high and stated that
if it is communicated to people and not hidden, there should not be much of a drop-off. He noted
that the base of participants would be much broader than the property tax base because there are
people located outside of the City who do not pay taxes but pay utilities, are part of the City’s
economy, and would also benefit from participating. Mr. Anderson indicated that the low amount
of $1 would not be enough to cause people to be upset; however, a 40% compliance rate with 10,000
participants who contribute $12 per year would raise approximately $120,000 per year. He pointed
out that it would be unknown how effective the program would be in Dover for at least six (6)
months; however, there was nothing to lose because existing mechanisms would be used and there
would be no costs and no need for a new collection facility or staff. Mr. Anderson stated that the
program would offer the potential to raise funds to address deep-seated problems that are hurting the
City’s economy and the community’s security in the long run. He noted that, without these funds,
the plans, work and studies done by other commissions would likely go nowhere. Mr. Anderson
stated that this was a win-win proposal and the City had nothing to lose.
Mr. Slavin expressed appreciation for the creativity of the proposal and of the fact that it was being
discussed in response to a local suggestion; however, he stated concern about the mechanics of
people opting in or out. He advised that there would be costs for collecting the money, such as
programming fees on utility bills, accounting fees, and the impact on Customer Service for opting
Página 127
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 10
in or out. Mr. Slavin stated the desire to have this conversation as part of larger budget discussions
and actions that members would take on in the next couple of weeks. He recommended deferring
this matter to the budget hearings.
In addition, Mr. Slavin stated that there was a philosophical question that the State, County, and City
were facing regarding whether they were willing to absorb the cuts being passed on by the federal
government. He noted that the President had just released a budget with very deep cuts to many
programs; however, Mr. Slavin did not believe that it would be the place of the City of Dover to take
this on and come up with new financing schemes for people to donate their money to City
government. Mr. Slavin expressed his personal belief that charity is a matter of the heart, and it
should be left to individuals to direct where they want to donate their money. He stated that he had
never checked off a box to give a dollar to any funds on his income tax returns because he did not
believe that these funds would go to solve the problems indicated. Mr. Slavin stated that there are
high overhead fees for a government to run such funds, and that he thought there were better places
for his money to go.
Mr. Neil applauded Mr. Anderson for a brilliant, out-of-the-box idea and for thinking in terms of
making something happen if other things around it are failing. He expressed his concern about
not-for-profit organizations having to pay. Mr. Neil indicated that he thought this matter needed
further discussion and stated the desire to discuss the mechanics in connection with the budget for
the new fiscal year.
Mr. Lewis commended Mr. Anderson for the excellent idea, stating that he did not think it a bad idea
as long as it is kept voluntary. He expressed concern about managing the program and whether there
would be related fees. Mr. Lewis stated that the proposal should be discussed further.
Mr. Anderson expressed his belief that people are too often boxed in with their thinking but were
starting to understand that the most efficient way to tackle local problems is not by an international
movement or by a one-size-fits-all solution, but by local people evaluating and solving them.
Mr. Anderson stated that it takes years to set up a system like the existing CDBG system and the
Proposed Resolution would set up a mechanism to put money into an existing fund. He noted that
the cost would be low, noting that there are already fees that are a dollar or two (2) and this would
just be another. Mr. Anderson indicated that he was open to the question about whether the program
should be voluntary for non-taxpayers, noting that he had passed the proposal around to the
community to a number of non-profit organizations, churches, and other foundations, none of whom
had a problem with it. He advised that they had liked the idea because the fee was low and,
philosophically, they tended to see themselves as community-oriented. Mr. Anderson noted that the
proposal would apply to non-taxpayers as well as any group that makes a Payment in Lieu of Taxes
(PILOT), and they could opt out if they already make a voluntary contribution to the City. He stated
that it would not be a stumbling block if Council wanted to adjust the proposal, noting that this was
a small part of the issue; however, it could affect some of the certainty of the revenue. Mr. Anderson
reminded members that only about 60% of the City’s base is taxpayers and 40% of its value basis
is from non-taxpaying customers.
Mr. Anderson stated he thought it would be valuable to begin this discussion now because there are
many other moving pieces within the budget and the budget hearing, and this piece could be lost in
Página 128
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 11
the discussion. He noted that if the Proposed Resolution was recommended for approval now, it
would take at least two (2) weeks to go through it, and even longer if delayed.
Mr. Caldwell indicated that this was a good plan in the long run but expressed concern about the
administrative and management part of the program and what it would cost in the long term. He
stated that it should be discussed during Council’s budget hearings to go over the fine print of
everything that must take place. Mr. Caldwell indicated that he liked to see people volunteering their
time and money; however, there was more to be focused on that was not being heard at this point.
Mr. Slavin moved to recommend deferring consideration of the Proposed Resolution until the budget
hearings, seconded by Mr. Neil.
Mr. Anderson stated that there was merit in the Mr. Slavin’s motion; however, he thought it would
be better to refer the matter to staff for review. He indicated that this would allow for an answer to
the one (1) question remaining about administrative overhead. Mr. Anderson pointed out that the
question would still remain a month from now if the matter was deferred until the budget hearings.
He stated that staff could bring their recommendation when the proposal is brought forth in the
budget.
Mr. Slavin stated that nothing would preclude staff from preparing some of the answers if the
proposal was deferred until the budget hearing.
The motion to recommend deferring consideration of the Proposed Resolution until the budget
hearings was unanimously carried.
Proposed Change in Frequency - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Updates
Mr. David Hugg, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that
staff recommended that Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program updates be
provided to the members every six (6) months rather than quarterly, unless there were significant
changes. He explained that this was due to the uncertainty in the CDBG program and other demands
on staff. Mr. Hugg noted that recent quarterly reports had stated that there were no actions in the last
quarter.
Mr. Cole moved to recommend acceptance of staff’s recommendation, seconded by
Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
Mr. Anderson stated that there may be a desire to go back to quarterly reports in the future and noted
that the reports had been valuable in the past in identifying hang-ups with money. Responding,
Mr. Hugg stated that staff would monitor this and would not wait for six (6) months to inform
members if issues come up in the interim. He advised that if the CDBG program is funded and
moves forward, staff will continue the quarterly reports.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Councilman Lewis presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2017-07 Amending Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection,
Article II - Fire Department, Division 2 - Officers, Section 46-77 (3) - Election and Voting
Regulations for Nominees - Eligible Voters (Sponsors: Slavin and Hare)
Fire Chief Carleton Carey, Jr. advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2017-07 would amend
language in the Dover Code regarding eligible voters for fire department officers. He indicated that
the ordinance would replace the term “at least 25 percent of the alarms” with “at least one-hundred
twenty-five (125) of the alarms” with respect to the requirement for eligible voters to have active
membership in the Fire Department. Chief Carey explained that this was being requested because
fewer members were able to meet the 25% requirement since the Department was receiving more
alarms each year; therefore, fewer members were eligible to vote for Fire Department officers. He
explained that the original ordinance was put in place many years ago when there were 250 - 500
calls per year; however, they were now averaging 1,300 and had 470 already this year. Chief Carey
noted that they now had only 25-30 voters for line officers, whereas previously there were well over
50 eligible voters.
Mr. Neil stated his understanding that they would be going from a percentage to a raw number and
asked if there was a concern that members would have to respond to a very low number of calls to
be eligible. Responding, Chief Carey indicated that this was a concern; however, with the current
average required, members were required to have almost 170 calls to vote. He indicated that they
had studied calls going back 10 years and calls had averaged 600 per year when he started as a fire
line officer in 1991. Chief Carey advised that they had reached 1,000 calls in 1997, had never had
less than 1,000 calls since then, and were now reaching 1,300 calls per year.
Mr. Anderson stated that he thought the Proposed Ordinance was positive and would encourage
more involvement. He expressed his understanding that people would not be responding to fewer
calls than they did 20 or 25 years ago and asked if 125 calls per month was within the historical
norms. Mr. Carey stated that it was and that 125 calls would average to approximately two (2) calls
out of the 20-30 calls they receive per week.
Mr. Anderson questioned how this would help involvement in the Fire Department. In response,
Chief Carey explained that the rule had always been that members can vote only if they ride a fire
truck. He noted that in some departments every member can vote, regardless of their position;
however, the Dover Fire Department had never done that and he did not believe they would want to.
Página 130
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 13
Mr. Keller asked if there had been a concerted effort to recruit. Responding, Chief Carey stated that
the Fire Department was currently in this process and had 2,500 pamphlets made at a cost of $1,800
that would hopefully pay off. He noted that they were getting ready to meet with Delaware State
University and Wesley College and would distribute pamphlets to them. Chief Carey noted that
Wesley students previously from out of State had previously served and had been outstanding.
Mr. Keller stated that the City of Dover was very fortunate to have the volunteer Fire Department,
noting that their equipment is in topnotch condition.
Mr. Lewis extended his appreciation to Fire Chief Carey for doing an outstanding job.
Chief Carey thanked Council for their support and expressed his belief that the Department’s
relationship with the City had improved in the past few years since he had returned to the Fire
Department. He noted that the Fire Department needs the City and vice versa.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2017-07, seconded by
Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
Proposed Resolution No. 2017-01 - Complete Streets Policy
During the Regular City Council Meeting of April 10, 2017, Council considered the Quarterly
Update - Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee and approved the Safety Advisory and Transportation
Committee’s recommendation to place Proposed Resolution No. 2017-01 - Complete Streets Policy,
back on an agenda for consideration by the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee.
Mr. David Hugg, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that
the Proposed Resolution was part of a plan to have Dover designated as Bicycle Friendly
Community. He explained that Dover's ordinances have the components of a Complete Streets
Policy, but not under that specific name. Mr. Hugg stated that Proposed Resolution No. 2017-01
would tie together the various components of Complete Streets that are already part of the City's
codes and policies and reaffirm Dover's commitment to a multi-modal transportation system, safety,
and accessible use of the public rights-of-way.
Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Resolution #2017-01.
Mr. Slavin moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 2017-01, seconded by
Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Anderson proposed amending line #30 to remove the phrase “and reduces automobile
dependency,” stating that this was not necessary and that it was not the role of the City government
to try to get people out of their cars. He indicated that the City’s role was to provide options, which
is what the Proposed Resolution was about, and line #30 was unnecessarily controversial and took
the wrong direction.
Mr. Anderson moved to recommend amending the Proposed Resolution to by removing “and reduces
automobile dependency” from line #30, seconded by Mr. Neil.
Página 131
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 23, 2017 PAGE 14
Mr. Sudler noted that lines #29 and #30 would implement a network of “Complete Streets in Dover
that achieves principles of connectivity; fosters walkable, bikable, and transit-friendly communities;
and reduces automobile dependency.” He stated that he did not believe the Resolution implied that
the City was trying to get rid of vehicles but that the City was trying to make the environment more
friendly. He indicated that, while he understood Mr. Anderson’s point of view, he did not think that
the spirit of the Resolution was to decrease dependability on automobiles but to create different
avenues, and he asked Mr. Hugg for his thoughts on this matter.
In response, Mr. Hugg stated that the goal of Complete Streets and multi-modal transportation was
to give people options so that they do have to drive to get a loaf of bread but can use public transit,
ride their bikes, and walk safely. He indicated that, in that context, there is the notion of providing
options and not necessarily requiring that people be dependent on their automobiles all the time.
Mr. Hugg stated that he did not believe this was a negative term but a reflection that the whole
program was intended to provide a set of options.
Mr. Sudler asked if Mr. Hugg thought that something should be added to bring more clarity to the
Resolution. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that he did not believe striking the words would be
detrimental to the Resolution in any way, and it was implicit in the resolution that biking, walking,
transit, and all other kinds of transportation and accessibility would by default make people less
dependent on automobiles. He indicated that putting a period after “transit-friendly communities”
would not weaken or decrease the value of the Resolution.
The motion to recommend amending the Proposed Resolution by removing “and reduces automobile
dependency” from line #30 failed by a roll call vote of seven (6) no (Sudler, Lewis, Cole, Polce,
Slavin, Keller) and two (2) yes (Anderson and Neil).
The motion to recommend adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 2017-01 carried, with
Mr. Anderson voting no.
Quarterly Update - Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee
Mr. David Hugg referred members to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Subcommittee Quarterly Update -
May 2017, stating that no action was required.
During the Regular City Council Meeting of April 10, 2017, members considered the Quarterly
Update - Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Report and approved the recommendation of the Council
Committee of the Whole/Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee to send a letter to the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to request a traffic study at the crossing of the
shared use path at Ridgely Boulevard and the West Dover Connector.
Mr. Anderson asked if there was an update on the safety concern regarding the crossing.
Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that he did not have an update but would try to find out the status. He
noted that there were two (2) issues involving the West Dover Connector, the crossing that
Mr. Anderson mentioned and a connecting access to a parcel near the end of the road, which had
been brought to DelDOT’s attention. He stated that did not have an update but would provide this
information.

Mr. Neil moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Anderson and
unanimously carried.
Mr. Sudler stated that he had heard a concern from Mr. Francis Bethel, 120 Ann Avenue, regarding
excessive traffic and speeding on Ann Avenue and speed bumps were requested. Mr. Sudler
indicated that he advised Mr. Bethel that the City no longer provides speed bumps, and Mr. Bethel
wanted to look at an alternative. Mr. Sudler had indicated that he would pass this concern on to the
Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee, noting that he had asked for this concern to be
placed on the agenda for the Committee’s next meeting and possibly have Mr. Bethel come voice
to his concern personally.
Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee
meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 8:06 p.m.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The Economic Development Committee met on May 24, 2017 at 2:01 p.m. with Mayor Christiansen
presiding. Members present were Mr. Cole, Mrs. Mitchell (departed at 2:18 p.m. and returned at 2:20 p.m.),
Mr. Hugg, Mr. Moore (DDP), and Mr. Hammond (arrived at 2:04 p.m.). Mr. Hare and Mr. Sheth were
absent.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Moore moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mrs. Mitchell and unanimously
carried.
Presentation - Starting a Small Business Incubator (Dr. Michael Casson - Delaware State
University UCEDIT)
Dr. Michael Casson, Jr., Director, Delaware State University Center for Economic Development and
Trade (UCEDIT), advised members that he had approached Mayor Christiansen a couple of months
ago regarding the possibility of a partnership to create an incubator in the City of Dover. He
indicated that incubators and accelerators are quite prevalent throughout the United States and have
demonstrated much success. Dr. Casson stated that the potential for an incubator would always rise
to the surface when thinking about what can be done in the City of Dover to spur economic growth
and support small business growth.
Dr. Casson reviewed a presentation entitled “Starting a Small Business Incubator: Feasibility
approach.”
Dr. Casson noted that the first step in developing an incubator would be to provide services, which
could be done initially without a facility to begin to get momentum. He advised that these services
could be continued while looking for a facility.
Mr. Hammond questioned if Dr. Casson was referring to an incubator without walls, and Dr. Casson
stated that he was. He indicated that it would be important for an incubator without walls to be part
of the full incubator plan for perhaps 18-24 months, after which there would be the ability to move
into a physical establishment.
Mr. Moore asked if Dr. Casson was proposing to do a feasibility study to identify types of
companies. Responding, Dr. Casson indicated that he was, if the Committee was committed to
exploring this and trying to see if this would be a good fit for the City. Mr. Moore questioned if this
was something that Dr. Casson and/or Delaware State University (DSU) does. Dr. Casson stated
that this could be done as part of UCEDIT and funded through the Economic Development
Administration.
Mr. Moore questioned if Dr. Casson was trying to target which companies and start-ups would be
successful in the City based on other companies that are currently here and services that are needed.
Responding, Dr. Casson advised that he was and that it would include the cost of doing business
here. He stated that technical services could be offered by DSU or within the City. Dr. Casson
advised that expertise would be tracked down and a plan would be created around this. He advised
that the facility itself can often be an obstacle for many cities and that an incubator without walls
Página 134
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MAY 24, 2017 PAGE 2
would be doable for much less cost. He stated the importance of coordinating some of the efforts
currently occurring throughout the City and County.
Mr. Cole asked if the focus was on a partnership between the City and DSU. Responding,
Dr. Casson advised that it would be about collaboration, with a combination of public and private
entities working together. He stated the need for a lead, noting that DSU could take the lead in terms
of the feasibility study. Dr. Casson indicated that there would then be a need to move into what the
management or entity structure of the incubator would be and determine where the leadership roles
would be housed.
Mrs. Mitchell questioned where the financing was expected to come from. She noted that
Dr. Casson had mentioned that failure in this type of undertaking sometimes results from not
managing money and cash flows. In response, Dr. Casson advised that there are a variety of
different ways to finance, noting that some incubators use a percentage of royalties, some have rental
space, some use a combination of grants, and some use fee-for-service training. He noted that
financial mixes can be used to help support the revenue streams.
Mr. Hugg stated that doing a feasibility study would be the first step. He asked what early
commitment was needed from the City and if this would be a financial commitment or just an
endorsement from the City that indicates that DSU would do this and come back to the City with
a report that would start to outline what the questions are. Responding, Dr. Casson stated that
UCEDIT would commit to providing professional expertise and asked the City to consider
supporting a graduate student stipend for the six (6) months that it could potentially take. Mr. Hugg
asked what this cost would be for the City, and Dr. Casson estimated that it would cost $2,000 or
$3,000.
Mayor Christiansen indicated that this was a great concept and advised members that the County
was looking at doing basically the same thing. He suggested that Mr. Hugg, Mr. Hammond, and
Dr. Casson have a meeting at the earliest possible time with Mr. Mike Petit de Mange, Kent County
Administrator, and Mr. Jim Waddington, Kent County Director of Economic Development, to
discuss this. Mayor Christiansen suggested comparing notes to see how the City and County could
move forward on this together. He stated that he thought he heard the County mention, when talking
about the initial concept, that they had space available. Mayor Christiansen advised that if the
County had space and the City had the good intentions and spirit to join them, together they could
make this happen. He indicated that the City had collaborated with Kent County and he would like
to continue that partnership, noting that this would be beneficial to the City and to the County.
Mayor Christiansen noted that, if there was any financial responsibility, it would probably be spread
across many shoulders rather than place on one (1) entity.
Mr. Moore moved to recommend that there be a meeting held with the County to determine
a path forward, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried.
Dr. Casson noted that he had spoken about this matter with Mr. Waddington, informed him of the
presentation, and walked through the space at the County.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MAY 24, 2017 PAGE 3
Mayor Christiansen informed members that he had obtained a commitment from
Mayor Mike Purzycki of Wilmington to come to Dover to discuss the successes and failures of
Wilmington regarding economic development. He expressed the desire to have a joint meeting of
the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) and the Economic Development Committee where Mayor
Purzycki could come and offer insight into successes and failures in the City of Wilmington.
Mr. Moore stated that a portion of the DDP was already planning to go to Wilmington to talk about
economic development, so the DDP may already be doing this. He expressed his belief that
Ms. Diane Laird, State Coordinator, Downtown Delaware and member of the DDP Board of
Directors, may be doing this, noting that he would find out who else was participating and advise
Mayor Christiansen. He indicated that he supported doing this, whether as two (2) separate efforts
or as part of an Economic Development Committee meeting.
Dr. Casson stated that he and colleagues at DSU wanted to bring before the Economic Development
Committee the possibility of a small business website initiative for the City of Dover. He noted that
a pilot was done with Mr. Ken Anderson, Director for Entrepreneurial and Small Business Support,
State of Delaware, as well as Ms. Laird, for the Town of Middletown. Dr. Casson explained that
small businesses have a lack of web presence, which is the revenue generator of the future, and DSU
saw fit to bring a program that supported small businesses in the development of their websites. He
indicated that DSU has a mobile entrepreneurship training bus, which had been parked in downtown
Middletown, and four (4) small businesses in that area hopped on the bus for an eight-week training
program. Dr. Casson advised that, at the end of the eight (8) weeks, these businesses had
functioning websites. He noted that one (1) person from the town also went through the training,
for capacity building. Dr. Casson indicated that DSU learned many lessons from the first pilot, and
they were ready to move forward with the actual rollout. He expressed the hope that the City of
Dover would consider being the first rollout town as DSU takes the bus on a tour of towns across
the State.
In response to Mayor Christiansen, Dr. Casson advised that there would be no cost for the program.
Mayor Christiansen asked where the bus would be set up. Responding, Dr. Casson indicated that
the bus was set up in the town’s parking lot in Middletown and store owners walked to it. He noted
that it could be set up anywhere where the bus could be parked.
Mr. Hammond suggested using the Loockerman Way Plaza.
Mr. Hammond moved to recommend entertaining the idea of participating in the small
business website initiative, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried.
Mayor Christiansen asked that Dr. Casson coordinate this with Mr. Hugg. He asked Mr. Moore to
instruct the Executive Director of the DDP to put the word out about what the project would
encompass.
Dr. Casson advised that he could send the specifics of the eight-week program to be disseminated.
He noted that a date for the project could be decided.
Página 136
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MAY 24, 2017 PAGE 4
Mr. Moore asked if the project would be held in the summer or fall. Responding, Dr. Casson
indicated that the program in Middletown was held in the fall; however, it ran into the winter and
had to be extended to 12 weeks due to holidays and snow days.
Mr. Moore asked if DSU was thinking about late summer or early fall, and Dr. Casson indicated this
would be a good time.
Mr. Moore stated his understanding that Dr. Casson was talking about a mobile vehicle that would
help people with websites. In response, Dr. Casson explained that they would park the bus and, after
eight (8) weeks, the participants who currently do not have a website would have a fully functional
website. He stated that those who have a website that is not optimized would have their website
optimized through DSU’s consultants.
Mr. Moore questioned who would provide the training. In response, Dr. Casson indicated that it
would be a combination of Nuts and Bolts Web Design, a group out of Wilmington, and information
technology people from the DSU campus.
Mr. Moore asked if the participants would be trained to do website work or if the work would be
done for them. Responding, Dr. Casson indicated that before they get on the bus, participants would
receive an assignment in order to make sure that they have the documents, tools, and understanding
needed for the first day. He noted that once they get on the bus, they would go through a curriculum
with the instructor and would have a website at the end. Dr. Casson stated that the consultants
would stay with participants throughout the course of the year to make sure that everything is going
well for them, and they would then be released. He indicated that DSU was discussing the next step,
which would be creating an e-commerce platform for participants as well.
Mr. Hammond asked whether the eight (8) weeks could be staggered if there was a tremendous
turnout. He noted that not everyone would show up on the first day. Responding, Dr. Casson
explained that the bus would only hold seven (7) participants.
Mr. Hammond expressed a desire not to turn anyone away. Dr. Casson indicated that this must be
considered. He noted that there were quite a few people who wanted to be part of the program in
Middletown and the Town Administrator in Middletown had selected the participants.
Mayor Christiansen stated that the Executive Director of the DDP could take care of selecting the
first candidates. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that there may need to be an application process.
Dr. Casson advised that DSU had an application and a survey and that he could send them.
Mr. Moore asked if the bus would be placed at City Hall and questioned where it was placed in
Middletown. Responding, Dr. Casson advised that it was placed next to the fire hall.
Mayor Christiansen suggested the possibility of placing the bus at Loockerman Way Plaza every day
except when the farmer’s market is held. In response, Mr. Moore stated that parking would be better
behind the Dover Public Library and suggested connecting the event with the library. He advised
that parking there was more accessible, since Loockerman Way parking is coin operated or
permanent and not as flexible, whereas parking behind the library is for two (2) hours and is easy
Página 137
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MAY 24, 2017 PAGE 5
to identify. Mr. Moore stated that if there was overflow, the library has computers and a business
center that could work in concert with the program and accommodate more than seven (7) people,
noting that he was unsure what kind of equipment that DSU had. Dr. Casson indicated that he was
unsure if the consultants could manage this. Mr. Moore stated that, in a worst case scenario, those
who could not get into the program would at least have the library as a resource. Dr. Casson stated
that the key was trying to bring the classroom to small business owners where they can get to it
quickly once per week.
Mayor Christiansen advised that the details could be worked out.
Mr. Hugg moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Moore and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 2:47 p.m.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
POWER SUPPLY SUMMARY
Overall Power Supply costs were $228,565 below budget, predominantly driven by lower PJM-Energy,
Congestion and Losses and PJM-ARR Transmission and Fees. PJM Energy, Congestion and Losses charges
stepped down month to month to $436,669.
Dover’s budgeted cost for all power supply (capacity AND energy) was $71.37/MWh. The actual cost of all
power supply (capacity AND energy) was $67.63/MWh.
The actual cost of energy alone was $38.51/MWh as opposed to a budgeted energy cost of $41.91.
Dover’s total load was 54,876 MWh versus a forecasted load of 55,200 MWh. Hedge purchases totaled
36,240 MWh, which was 66% of the actual load.
Dover’s planned energy purchase from the SunPark solar installation was 2,100 MWhs. Dover’s actual
energy purchase from the SunPark installation was 1,666 MWhs.

EMISSIONS SUMMARY
Emissions Allowance and Solar Renewable Energy Summary through April 30, 2017
The reinstated Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) replaced the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) beginning
January 1, 2015. The State of Delaware was included in the CAIR footprint but is not included in the CSAPR
footprint.
The separate Clean Air Act acid rain deposition control program (CAA Title IV) which governs SO2 national
allowance trading program remains in effect for Dover. Beginning with the January 2015 report, TEA no
longer includes a CAIR summary. It will continue to report on Dover’s Clean Air Act Title IV SO2 allowances.
Market liquidity for Title IV SO2 allowances is very low, with few transactions occurring. The following table
shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances, based on a market price assessment published by
SNL Energy.
Market Value for Clean Air Act Title IV Allowances
Commodity $/Ton1 Tons Market Value
SO2 Allowances – Title IV $0.50 17,003 $8,502
Total $8,502
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
The State of Delaware is a participant in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The City of Dover
must comply with RGGI by surrendering carbon dioxide (CO2) allowances pursuant to the State of Delaware’s
laws (Title 7, Chapter 60, Sub-Title II-A).
Dover had more than a sufficient number of RGGI allowances allocated to it to cover its requirements
through the first compliance period (calendar years 2009-2011) and second compliance period (2012 –
2014). Any unused allowances are carried over (“banked”) for subsequent years. The table below includes
Dover’s historical activities, and includes projections through 2020. Two projections are presented: (1)
future annual emissions based on the average for 2009 – 2015, and (2) future annual emissions based on
2010 actual CO2 emissions which was the highest emissions year between 2009 and 2015.
The table and chart indicate that Dover could run out of banked allowances as early as the end of 2018
under the high emissions scenario and by the end of 2020 under the average scenario. Therefore, Dover
has initiated a program to participate in RGGI’s quarterly auctions to ensure it has adequate allowances in
the future.

The RGGI market has been in a quiet news cycle during the past month as we are still several weeks away
from the next quarterly auction and the next stakeholder review meeting will not occur until early summer.
Given the lack of any major news to drive prices during the past month, the path of least resistance
continued to be to the downside. The prompt month contract fell $0.37 month/month to $2.53 based on
the May 16 settle. In related news, Virginia Governor McAuliffe announced on May 16 an executive
directive that could pave the way for the creation of a cap-and-trade program to limit power plant emissions
in the state and SNL Energy reported that this program could eventually be linked to RGGI at some point in
the future if implemented.

Based on the May 16, 2017 ICE price of $2.53/ton for the May 2017 futures contract, the estimated market
value of Dover’s existing 93,4282 ton RGGI allowance bank is $236,372.
The next RGGI auction will be held on June 7, 2017. The Cost Containment Reserve will be 10 Million tons
with a CCR price of $10.00/ton. The reserve price for 2017 is $2.15. Dover has submitted its intent to bid
for the upcoming auction and the deadline to post security interest ahead of the auction, if Dover elects to
participate, is May 31, 2017.
Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of one 5 kW unit at the Utilities
Administration Building and two 5 kW units at the McKee Run generating station. Dover also receives solar
energy produced by the 10 MW Dover Sun Park which is owned by White Oak Solar Energy, LLC. In addition
to all of the physical energy produced by the Sun Park, Dover receives 15% of Sun Park’s Solar Renewable
Energy Credits (SRECS).
Dover participates in the Delaware Municipal Electric Renewable Portfolio Standard (DMERPS) for
compliance with the State of Delaware’s RPS laws applicable to municipal utilities. The first compliance
period under DMERPS was for the 12 months ending May 2014 and the second compliance period was for
the 12 months ending May 2015.

Monthly Management Committee Update
April 2017
Through the end of generation month March 2017, Dover had accumulated a net total of 7,729 SRECs from
these renewable energy resources. This total includes SRECs reported in PJM’s GATS account and Bonus
allowances for Sun Park labor. This total was reduced by 2,941 SREC transferred to DEMEC for surrender
on October 3, 2014 for the first compliance period, 2,861 SRECs and 574 bonus SRECs for the second
compliance period on November 9, 2015, and 2,093 SRECs and 207 bonus SRECs for the third compliance
period on November 22, 2016.
Delaware periodically holds SRECs auctions; however, these auctions are for size tiers N1 – N3, E1 and E2.
The Dover Sun Park is in the N4 tier for large-scale facilities. State-wide carve outs for Tier 4 have been fully
subscribed, so there is not a market for tier T4 SRECs in Delaware.
The nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is Pennsylvania. The most recent pricing data for Pennsylvania
SRECs from Karbone and Bloomberg are used in the table below.

TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain these allowances for compliance with its Renewable
Portfolio Standard (RPS). Additionally, Dover will need to acquire additional SRECs resources in future years.
It is apparent that Dover’s portion of SRECs produced by White Oak Solar Energy Center will not be sufficient
future years as the compliance requirements increase. DEMEC has indicated that it expects to have excess
SRECs available for Dover’s compliance requirements. This and other alternatives will need to be evaluated
in the near future.

III. OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
OPERATIONS SUMMARY
Executive Summary:
During the month of April, there were no recordable accidents, lost time accidents or environmental
incidents. The facility has gone 839 days or through April 31, 2017 without a Lost Time Accident (LTI) and
745 days since the April 16, 2015 recordable accident. There was one (1) Near Miss reported in April 2017
at McKee Run Generating Station. One (1) Near Miss was reported when a Control Room Operator (CRO)
noticed a contractor cutting metal fence posts with a band saw without a Hot Work Permit. The CRO
stopped the job, explained why there was a work stoppage and issued a Hot Permit to continue working.
No injuries or equipment damage sustained.
No McKee Run or VanSant Units were dispatched during the month of April by PJM, TEA or The City of
Dover. The McKee Run Unit 3 remained in the spring outage until April 21, 2017 and was cleared for PJM
dispatch at 1500 hours. The VanSant starting diesel was exercised four times during the month with no
issues to report. The Operations Team completed two boiler hydro tests on Unit 3. One was conducted to
locate the leaking tube and the second was to verify the repair was completed. The regional boiler
inspection was on site to witness the repair hydro testing for certification documentation.
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses for the month of April are $372,190 against a budgeted
amount of $433,440 for a favorable variance of $61,250 or 14.13%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $37,451 was due the change in
employee staffing assignments and lower than anticipated increase in labor costs. As a result, this
impacted three (3) labor accounts – Straight Time, Overtime, and Labor Burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $7,460 was due to not
purchasing replacement computers that were budgeted for April. This order has been placed
through the city IT department and will be billed in May.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $38,341 was primarily due to
expenses for the Title V application permitting costs in Environmental Expenses. A portion of this
unfavorable variance was offset by the timing of invoices for monthly electricity usage.

1.2 Title V Air Permit Fuel Operation Compliance
McKee Run Generating Station: The Title V Permit dictates that natural gas is the primary fuel source
for the unit operations and stipulates that by April 16, 2015, the boiler shall not combust oil for more
than 10.0% of the average annual heat value (MMBtu) input during any 3 calendar years or no for
more than 15% of the annual heat rate during any single calendar year. The tables below track fuel
combustion operations to ensure compliance with the respective MRGS Title V permits are
maintained. Up to 48 hours can be used for valid “testing” purposes and gas curtailments are an
allowable exception to the rule. The plant is communicating with Eastern Shore to obtain any required
written confirmation of NG outages for compliance purposes. We are determining how many
operating hours were done for “testing” which will also reduce the required natural gas to combust to
be in compliance for Unit 3.
Van Sant Station: The Title V Air permit restrictions with regards to operations, is limited to 70,080
MW-hr. per calendar year with a rolling average of 35,040 MW-hr. over the previous 3 calendar years.

2.0 Financials
Monthly and year to date financial results as compared with the approved power plant budget for the
Generation Units are provided below.
2.1 Variance analysis:
The actual expenses for the month of April are $372,190 against a budgeted amount of
$433,440 for a favorable variance of $61,250 or 14.13%. The variance was due to the
following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $37,451 was due the
change in employee staffing assignments and lower than anticipated increase in labor
costs. As a result, this impacted three (3) labor accounts – Straight Time, Overtime, and
Labor Burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES - A favorable monthly variance of $7,460 was
due to not purchasing replacement computers that were budgeted for April. This order has
been placed through the city IT department and will be billed in May.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $38,341 was
primarily due to expenses for the Title V application permitting costs in Environmental
Expenses. A portion of this unfavorable variance was offset by the timing of invoices for
monthly electricity usage.

3.0 Operations
Unit Operations / Outages / Trips: No McKee Run or VanSant Units were dispatched
during the month of April by PJM, TEA or The City of Dover. The McKee Run Unit 3
remained in the spring outage until April 21, 2017 and was cleared for PJM dispatch at
1500 hours. The VanSant starting diesel was exercised four times during the month with
no issues to report. The Operations Team completed two boiler hydro tests on Unit 3. One
was conducted to locate the leaking tube and the second was to verify the repair was
completed. The regional boiler inspection was on site to witness the repair hydro testing for certification
documentation.

Notable activities during the month include:
During rounds on the weekend the Operation staff starts and runs the gasoline fire pump to ensure the
proper operation of the fire system. The motor would not start. A work order was written for this issue.
The Maintenance staff troubleshot the issue with the gasoline fire pump motor and discovered that the
intake gasket was cracked and needed to be replaced. The motor was LOTO so the work could be
completed. The intake was removed and the gasket was removed and replaced. After all the work was
completed and the LOTO removed the motor was started. The motor now starts and runs without any
issues.
APEX Piping System was contracted to remove and replace boiler clips in the Reheat and Superheater
sections of Unit 3 boiler. They removed and replace several 100 clips. These clips were wall tube clips,
tube to tube clips and hand cuff clips. These clips keep the tubes in place when the unit is running. Once
their work was completed a hydro was conducted on the boiler to ensure that the work caused no leaks.
There were no leaks detected on any of the work that was completed in the Reheat and Superheater
sections of the boiler.
During the hydro of Unit 3 boiler to check for leaks on the work that APEX Piping completed in the Reheat
and Superheater sections of the boiler. A tube leak was discovered on the northeast corner on the 4th
floor of the boiler. APEX Piping made the repairs to the boiler and another hydro was completed with no
leaks discovered on the boiler.
The Maintenance staff replaced the Pre-air heater soot blowing station swivel joint. The reason for the
replacement was the swivel joint was not working properly when the soot blowing station was put into
service due to wear. The station is in good working order.
The IC&E completed the maintenance on the CO & 02 probes and transmitters for Unit 3. The probes were
clean and check for any issues. The CO & 02 cells were replaced. All of the necessary filters were replaced.
After this work was completed the system was calibrated against test gases. The calibrated was within the
manufactures specifications. The system was returned to service.

9.0 “Value Added” Accomplishments during April
During the month the power plant staff accomplished the normal preventative and corrective
maintenance for the generation units. We are responsible for maintaining and protecting the City of Dover
power generation assets, and keeping them “available”, for dispatch when called.
Listed below are some of the work accomplishments that have been completed this past month that NAES
feels added value to the generation assets, protected them from deterioration or inoperability, and overall
increased their life expectancy through improved equipment maintenance practices which include
preventative and predictive maintenance tasks (see Section 4 - Maintenance Work Orders) for the City of
Dover units.
The Operations Teams continues painting the outside hand rails. The plan is to gradually improve
the plant appearance and equipment for both generation sites over the course of the next couple
of years.
The Maintenance staff started the structure preservation at The VanSant Generating Station. The
structures have been cleaned and are being prepped for painting which will start in May when the
weather is warmer.
The east, north, and electrical distribution yard perimeter fencing was removed and replaced with
fencing meeting the current standards for industrial facilities. This will improve the site security.

ing uses if not resolved. Several property owners are currently working with Planning
Staff to take action to resolve their non-conformities. A rezoning application was filed in
April to begin the review process to resolve a non-conformity at a property.
