REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on June 26, 2017 at 7:36 p.m. with Council President Slavin presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Staff members present were Police Chief Mailey, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, Fire Chief Carey, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 7:37 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. Mr. Jamie Grubbs stated that the homeless need a place to live and it would be nice to get them off of the streets, where it is not safe. He also noted that there is nowhere for the homeless to eat. Mr. Steven French suggested allowing the homeless to live at the former library until they get something better. He noted that winter is coming and it will be too cold out there for them. Mr. Christopher L. Jones thanked members for the opportunity to speak and stated that the problem of homelessness is at disproportionate levels and will get worse without proper care from the City and the community. He noted that if it were not for Victory Church and what they do to help the less fortunate, he did not know where he would be. Mr. Jones advised that he recently became homeless after being kicked on the street by the Veterans Affairs in Wilmington and, before then, he did not realize how hard some people have it. He stated that he has tried to get help from every organization in Dover and the State. Mr. Jones noted that Miss Kathy took him to the pharmacy and paid for his medications out of her own pocket. He stated that, with the City of Dover's help and with Victory Church, this epidemic can be turned around to make this community a better and more loving place for everyone. Mr. Eric Abernathy stated that there were two (2) veterans, Mr. Jones and Mr. Lawson, in the audience and they were having trouble getting assistance. He noted that both men have been coming to Victory Church and the church is doing what it can to help them so they get lunch every day and a hot meal at night. Mr. Abernathy stated that they are a poor church so there is not much more they can do. He noted that the other issue was the homeless tent city that was recently cut up by the property owner. Mr. Abernathy noted that he had heard that the owner had State officials with them. He advised that this was the third incident of tents being destroyed that he knew of. Mr. Abernathy also advised that many homeless people used to hang out at the library and now they have taken away the seating area and turned it into a passport area. He stated that they also took out the television in the back of the library where they were hanging out. Mr. Abernathy stated that he felt that something needs to be done, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today. Ms. Alexis Simms advised that she had been coming to testify for the homeless for a whole year. She stated that whoever cut those tents down destroyed peoples personal property and that is a charge. She noted that these people cannot afford a one bedroom for $850.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 2 Ms. Jasmine Boggs advised that, within the past year, she had lost her son because of being homeless. She stated that, over the past five (5) years, she had been homeless off and on. Ms. Boggs advised that two (2) people in attendance had helped her during the past year with legal matters and with her son. She noted that being homeless does not make you a bad person, no matter what other people think about you. Ms. Boggs advised that her son, who was born on August 3rd, died on November 9th because she was homeless with him. She stated that she had also had several miscarriages because she was homeless and if she had a place to live, her children would still be living. Mr. Brandon Ricks advised that he gave up his place to live 18 or 19 months ago because he allowed homeless people to come stay with him. Mr. Ricks stated that he has had two (2) heart attacks and a stroke in the last six (6) months and every time he goes to the hospital, it is a shame because nobody cares about them. He noted that it is the other homeless people that actually come and check on you to make sure you are alright. Mr. Ricks advised that, as his wife previously stated, they lost their son in November and since then, anytime that people have needed help, every time he gets paid, he spends $400 a week at a hotel so that people are able to have a place to eat and take showers. He noted that he cannot afford his heart pills because he makes sure people eat on a daily basis. Mr. Ricks advised that he has given up everything he had to help people. He stated that he moved to Dover four (4) years ago from Virginia and he tries to help as many people as he can. Mr. Swann Twitty stated that they are making it hard for homeless people to get jobs, especially the ones that have charges. He stated that it is not fair for them to be homeless without a job and they have to go apply somewhere and they get turned down because of what they did 10-20 years ago. Mr. Richard Lawson advised that he is homeless and has been in Dover for 64 days. He noted that for the first nine (9) days, he stayed at Red Roof Inn, and for 22 days he was at Kent General Hospital where he was diagnosed with a heart condition, a bad set of lungs, and diabetes. Mr. Lawson stated that for the last 33 or 34 days, he has been on the street. He advised that Victory Church and the outreach center lent a hand to help him the best that they could to try to keep a good frame of mind to not give up on things. Mr. Lawson stated that when he was discharged from the hospital, he met with several social workers, both interior and exterior, along with case workers, his chief doctor, and VA reps. He advised that he was supposed to be released into an environment for home healthcare, noting that he is supposed to be on 20 medications a day, four inhalers, a CPAP machine, and a nebulizer. Mr. Lawson noted that he is currently only able to manage nine medications, he cannot use his machine, and he only has two (2) of the inhalers because he had nowhere in the woods to plug a nebulizer in. He advised that he has exhausted every resource that he could find and asked when the City would decide that it is going to step up and do something to improve conditions for the homeless. Mr. James Bierman stated that this was his first time attending to advocate for the homeless. He advised that he was 77 years old and, for over 50 years, he was in the construction business, 25 of which were in Dover and surrounding areas. Mr. Bierman advised that he has worked as a carpenter, a foreman, and a superintendent for some major construction companies, including Kent Construction. He noted that he has noticed empty buildings and the library is empty now. Mr. Bierman stated that these empty places could be renovated for a moderate price and made into an adequate dwelling for some of these people that are homeless.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 3 Mr. James Plaisted advised that he was getting ready to be pinned for medical assistant and indicated that if there were a Kent County clinic for the homeless, he would assist in any way he could. Mr. Ed Dougherty, 25 Lotus Street, stated that he would promote anything that the City of Dover could do with regard to the closing of the Schwartz Center. He noted that he took a bike ride around the City that day and there are excellent facilities and opportunities here. Mr. Dougherty requested members to do what they could for the Schwartz Center to keep the downtown alive. Mr. Slavin announced that on Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, the Mayor would be holding a meeting with the Blue Ribbon Commission on homelessness and they will be releasing and discussing their findings. He also noted that the Mayor has offered to meet with the veterans who spoke after the Open Forum, noting that the Mayor has made great efforts statewide to cure homelessness for veterans and he knows where the resources are. The invocation was given by Bishop Thomas L. Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 4 BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS EXEMPTION REPORT - MAY 31, 2017 The Board of Assessment Appeals met on May 31, 2017 with Chairman Garfinkel presiding. EXEMPTIONS Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity Locations: Exempt Request: 325 N New St. $13,600 22 N New St. $70,900 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request for the above referenced properties was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. The property located at 22 N New St. currently has a dwelling. Once these properties are complete and the ownership is transferred, the properties will be added back to the tax rolls. (As a supplemental billing) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Mr. Simpson, Executive Director, was present for the hearing. Mr. Simpson informed the board that the organization is utilizing these properties to help improve the status of difficult neighborhoods and help those in need. He went on by explaining that the home on 22 N New Street will be demolished and that 325 N New Street is already a vacant lot, that the organization will be building new homes on both of these lots for low income families. Chairman Garfinkel asked who the lien holders for these homes are. Mr. Simpson told the board that Habitat for Humanity becomes the lien holder and explained that the organization receives funding from various sources such as charitable donations or grant money. The home owner then pays the interest fee loan back to the organization over a 30-year period. When asked what the timeline for the rebuilding of the properties would be, Mr. Simpson said that thy are on a three-year plan, meaning that the property located at 22 N New Street would get done first since it is located within an area that is currently being rebuilt by the organization. Mr. Simpson explained that the organization finds that it makes a difference if they rebuild as many homes in one

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 5 area as they can, which is why he believed that the property located at 22 N New Street should be worked on first. Chairman Garfinkel asked what would happen to the properties if the new owner fails to pay the mortgages. Mr. Simpson told the board that if the owners fail to pay the mortgage they would follow the same path any homeowner would who does not pay their mortgage. Mr. Galvin asked if the new homeowner was able to sell the home after they purchased it. Mr. Simpson told the board that the owner has the right to sell the home, but also explained that the mortgage of the home is based on the actual materials bought and not what the home could be appraised for making it a lot more affordable. Should the owner decide to sell the home before the 30 years are up, they would have to pay what the home would have appraised for and not what the actual cost was. He also told the board that these homes are only built for low income families, who know that they are fortunate to have been given the opportunity to own a home and pay less in monthly mortgage fees, for a single family home, than they did when they rented an apartment. Mr. Kelly asked about the selection of homeowners. Mr. Simpson replied by explaining to the board that that part of the program has been the most challenging, due to the company that handled the selection, letting the board know, that the organization recently hired somebody that works for the organization, which will in the future make the selection faster. He mentioned that the homeowners have to help build their homes, the homes are not just handed to them, they also have to go to credit and mortgage counseling. Mr. Galvin made the motion to exempt both properties until they are sold to the new owner. Mr. Kelly seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Board’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. NCALL Locations: Exempt Requests: 231 N Queen St. $13,800 101 S Queen St. $13,400 106 S New St. $13,100 110 S New St. $11,600 112-114 S New St. $ 8,600 108 S New St. $10,700

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 6 NCALL (Continued) 212 N Governors Ave. $10,800 14 S Queen St. $12,000 18 S Queen St. $12,000 245 N West St. $13,500 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. These properties are currently vacant land; to be built for a low-income family to provide an affordable mortgage. Once these properties are complete and the ownership is transferred, they will be added back to the tax rolls. (As a supplemental billing) Karen Speakman, Deputy Director, was present for the hearing. Ms. Speakman told the board that their organization is very much like the “Habitat for Humanity”, which is building and selling homes to low income families. She informed the board that the properties located at 231 N Queen Street and 212 N Governors Avenue have just been sold and can be taken off of the list of exempt request properties. Chairman Garfinkel asked if these homes are also sold at 0% interest, same as the Habitat? Ms. Speakman told the board that NCALL sells the properties at market value. She explained that a home that would sell for $200,000, the organization would sell for approximately $165,000 to a low income family. The difference would be paid by different funds and grants the organization receives. She also mentioned that the homes are located within an abatement area, which gives the new homeowner a 5-year window of reduced property taxes. Mr. Galvin, asked if the new owner could turn around and sell the property as soon as they purchased it, and was told by Ms. Speakman that the homeowner is required to live in the home for 5-10 years depending on the grant restriction they have. Chairman Garfinkel asked what would happen if the new owner fails to pay the mortgage. Ms. Speakman explained that once the home is sold the owner pays the bank who holds the mortgage and if they fail to pay the mortgage the bank would repossess the property.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 7 Mr. Kelly made the motion to accept the exempt request for the 8 properties until they are sold. Mr. Galvin seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Board’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Norfolk Southern Railway Location: Exempt Request: S West St. $50,700 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. This property was preliminarily denied because more information was needed. It has been placed back on taxable status pending this hearing and Council’s final vote in June 2017. Right of Way & Roadbeds RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Mr. Quam, Manager for State Taxes was present for the hearing. The Assessor started the hearing by explaining that this request is part of the 2016 Exemption Audit. At one of the meeting the Board requested the organization to come to a hearing scheduled for April 26,2017, which they failed to do, therefore placing the property back on the tax roll. Mr. Quam told the board that he is not from this area and had not seen this property until the night before the hearing. He asked if any of the board members knew how long the platform had been on the property. Mr. Bundek told him that according to the information the office had, the “truck well” had been there since 1960. Mr. Quam told the board that this property became exempt with the county in 2010. He explained that at that time the organization was not aware that the City would not have to adopt the counties status. He explained that spaces like this vacant piece of land are often necessary for offloading and storing equipment and materials needed for maintenance along the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 8 railroad. He told the board that this property falls within the allowed 50 feet of right of way. Mr. Kelly made the motion to accept the exempt request, which was seconded by Mr. Galvin. Motion carried 3-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, City Assessor, advised that the Norfolk Southern Railway property on South West Street is a public open space, or right-of-way, that is owned by the railroad tracks. She noted that the improvement is a truck welding bin. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Bundek advised that Norfolk Southern was still the official owner of record, noting that they had not received a deed change. Mr. Anderson asked why the improvement was not taxed. Mrs. Bundek advised that the improvement, to her knowledge, was an unattached truck bed that could be removed and, therefore, was not considered a real estate improvement. She noted that the property itself would be tax exempt per 8108 of the State Code. Mr. Hare noted that he had a constituent call about the Walker Road crossing and asked who was responsible for maintaining the railroad crossings. Mrs. Bundek responded that she thought it would be the railroad company’s responsibility and that she would call their contact from the exemption request and ask them. Mr. Polce advised that he spoke with the Secretary of Transportation and it is a joint partnership between the Department of Transportation and the railroad company. He noted that the specific intersection that Mr. Hare referenced, Walker Road, is scheduled for maintenance this summer. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Board’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lewis and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no. Dover Housing Authority Locations: Exempt Requests: 402 S New St. $40,000 13 S New St. $10,700 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. This property was preliminarily denied because more information was needed. It has been placed back on taxable status pending this hearing and Council’s final vote in June 2017.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 9 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Mr. Mincey, Executive Director was present for the hearing. The Assessor showed the board aerial pictures of the properties, letting them know that they were both vacant pieces of land. The board suggested that the organization have the lot lines for 402 S New Street erased, as that parcel is not a buildable lot and seems to be part of 426 S New Street. Mr. Mincey told the board that the organization is trying to sell 13 S New Street, but has not been successful in doing so. Mr. Galvin suggested to get in touch with Habitat for Humanity or NCALL regarding this property. Chairman Garfinkel asked if the organization was holding this property by way of investment? Mr. Mincey explained that the organization is looking to sell the property but not for a profit. He told the board that the organization has sold properties to both NCALL and the Habitat for Humanity in the past few years. Mr. Kelly wanted to know why the organization purchased the property and was told by Mr. Mincey that the organization was part of Senator Carpers “Home Owners Initiative” and were trying to revitalize that part of the City, but have not been able to so with the current situation in that area. Mr. Kelly asked if the organization owns more properties within the City of Dover which are also exempt. The Assessor told Mr. Kelly all the other properties within City of Dover city limits, owned by this organization, are tax exempt. Mr. Galvin made the motion to grant the exempt request for 402 S New Street with the recommendation to have the lot lines removed. Mr. Kelly seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. Mr. Kelly asked Mr. Mincey if he knew of a property Dover Housing Authority sold to another non-profit organization such as NCALL or Habitat for Humanity? Mr. Mincey told the board that the property located at 245 N West Street was just purchased by his organization for $20,000 and was just sold to NCALL for $15,000. Mr. Kelly wanted to make sure that the organization is not looking to make a profit on the property and would sell to any buyer who would be willing to build on the property for any offer.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 10 Mr. Kelly told the board that he would be inclined to grant the exemption as the organization is not an investment corporation, but is working for the greater good of the city such as Habitat for Humanity and NCALL. After further discussion, Mr. Kelly made the motion to accept the exempt request with the recommendation to reach out to NCALL and Central DE Habitat for Humanity regarding the property located at 13 S New Street to get the property in line with the purpose of the organization. Mr. Galvin seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Board’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Anderson moved for acceptance of the Board of Assessment Appeals Exemption Report, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JUNE 13, 2017 The Council Committee of the Whole met on June 13, 2017 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Slavin (departed at 6:54 p.m. and returned at 6:56 p.m.) presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Polce, and Mr. Lindell (departed at 7:14 p.m. and returned at 7:17 p.m.). Mr. Cole and Mr. Hare were absent. Mayor Christiansen (departed at 6:34 p.m. and returned at 7:05 p.m.) was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), and Mr. Shevock and Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mrs. Horsey (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement) was absent. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. Recommendations from Community Meeting of May 25, 2017 Mr. David Hugg, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development, estimated that there were more than 30 people in attendance at the community meeting of May 25, 2017. He stated that a lot of positive input was received from residents in the general area, as well as commitment to get involved in finding solutions for Dover Park. Mr. Hugg noted that there was also some discussion of Continental Park. He advised that recommendations included improving maintenance, addressing the general condition of some of the equipment and the pavement, and trying to find activities and create reasons for people to go to the park and participate in activities there. Mr. Hugg indicated that he advised meeting

Página 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 11 participants that the City had submitted grant applications to the State for both a Master Plan and Phase 1, which would identify what kind of facility or building may be needed at Dover Park. He stated that it would not be known until the fall if these funds would be granted; however, the City would be in the funding queue, and he thought master planning would move forward quickly. Mr. Hugg explained that Mr. Sudler had led a walk-through of Dover Park on Saturday, May 27, 2017 and identified a number of issues. He noted that some of the local residents were involved in the walk-through, which was a good sign that people wanted to take back ownership of the park and make it serve their needs. Mr. Hugg advised that staff had a subsequent meeting to discuss the next steps, such as looking into what would be required to provide electricity to the pavilions, possible sponsorships for park benches and playground equipment, and fundraisers. He stated that a community event with games and activities was scheduled to be held at Dover Park on July 22, 2017. Mr. Hugg indicated that there had been significant progress regarding this park. Mr. Sudler explained that the event on July 22, 2017 would be a community fundraiser for Dover Park and Continental Park, with half of the proceeds going to each of the parks. He informed members that there would be a “rib-off” contest, as well as other activities, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. In regard to Continental Park, Mr. Hugg advised that a community workshop would be held on June 22, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at the park site, or in the Dover Public Library in the event of rain. He explained that the purpose of the workshop was to get people to come out and talk about the parks, discuss what they would like to see at Continental Park, and develop a path forward. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager, stated that the Public Works Department had gone to Dover Park following the May 25, 2017 meeting and worked on many of the issues, including repainting the checkerboard tables. She noted that $80,000 had been earmarked in the Parkland Reserve Fund for Dover Park. She stated that $50,000 was included in the current budget and would carry forward into next year for the Dover Park Master Plan. Mr. Sudler asked Mrs. Mitchell how she felt the community meeting went, and how the City would get in contact with Representative Andria Bennett in regard to her proposal to provide funding from the State Legislature. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that as soon as the City has identified and developed a project, Representative Bennett could be contacted through email regarding funding. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that she thought the meeting went very well, with a lot of conversation and participation, and the walk-through at the park was also very well attended. Mr. Anderson stated that Kent County Levy Court Commissioners had offered to help match funding for Continental Park. He indicated that Kent County has a $600,000 source of funding in a park fund. Mr. Anderson advised that the City of Dover had a robust Park Reserve Fund at one time, and the Pitts Center was

Página 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 12 completed using $3M in cash. He noted that the City currently had no funding mechanism for park reserves and asked what other communities were using as funding sources for their park reserves. Mr. Anderson indicated that he did not need this information immediately but would like to have it within a month’s time. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she would look into that, noting that some of the $3M used to build the Pitts Center was received through donations and contributions; however, a lot of funding came from carry-forward balances in the General Fund that were moved to the Reserve Fund to build the Center. Mr. Anderson noted that the City’s unfunded liabilities were now a huge problem, which was a definite priority for the carry-forward. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Mitchell explained that money from fundraisers could be placed into the Parkland Reserve Fund, and there was no problem with the City accepting money for that purpose. Ms. Frances Thomas, a resident, stated that there was a nice turnout for the walk- through; however, a lot of the members of the panel who attended the community meeting were not present, and she and others wondered why they were not there to represent the community in the area. She advised that many things could be done at Dover Park, noting that she was not familiar with Continental Park. Ms. Thomas indicated that many people had grown up with Dover Park and questioned why it was not being built up more, noting that Dover is the capital of the First State. She stated that it was a waste that soccer, basketball, softball, and tennis activities were not being held there. Ms. Thomas stated that the park was located in an area of poverty and help was needed with interactive activities for children, who should not have to go all the way to Schutte Park. She noted that some parents do not have vehicles and there are transportation issues. Ms. Thomas indicated that she was glad that meetings were being held to discuss this; however, more needed to be done. Mayor Christiansen stated that a number of people had been vocal when the Dover Park building was taken down, and a promise was made that this side of the community would not be forgotten. He advised that he thought that there was still a commitment, if the funding was available, to eventually rebuild Dover Park to what it was before, noting that he had used it himself when he lived on Willis Road. Mayor Christiansen indicated that he had never agreed with the strategy to move everything to Schutte Park, he did not think that the rest of the members of Council had, and they were committed to making sure that Dover Park would return as a viable entity on the east side of the City. Mr. Sudler reviewed a presentation entitled “Dover Park & Recreational Center’s Status Report - Dialogue Presentation for Master Plan!”, which he stated was presented during the May 25, 2017 community meeting. Ms. Rozalyn Chandler, Manchester Square, advised that she was interested in helping on this project, had participated in the walk-through, and had not known the park was so big. She indicated that she was upset because some of those who stated that they

Página 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 13 would come to the walk-through had not attended. Ms. Chandler stated that she had made a list of projects that could be done with children; however, no one had contacted her about it. She stated that some of the projects on her list were inexpensive and asked that someone contact her about them. Ms. Chandler stated that the more that could be done with the children, the fewer the problems would be in the community. She expressed concern about safety at her home, noting that she had called the police at 2:00 a.m. about drug interactions taking place at her front window, and there had also been people shooting at each other and running through her yard to the park to get away from police. Ms. Chandler advised that the City and the Dover Housing Authority should come together to do something about these problems. She indicated that she is living alone in fear and resides near the gate looking into Dover Park. Ms. Chandler asked for help before the summer begins, noting that she was unsure that the Dover Housing Authority would help. Mr. Sudler noted that Councilman Neil was present and may be able to assist Ms. Chandler. He suggested that she obtain the contact information for the Third District City Councilmen for follow-up. Mayor Christiansen invited Ms. Chandler to the hall to discuss this matter further. Mr. Sudler advised that Council was aware of some of the issues taking place with the Dover Housing Authority, and Mayor Christiansen was working diligently to rectify them. Mr. Lindell informed members that he recalled going to the Dover Park office previously while attending Wesley College as a student, and there had been problems with vandalism at that time. He noted that Ms. Chandler had spoken eloquently on this subject. Mr. Lindell stated that a beautiful park could be built at Dover Park; however, there must be a comprehensive plan or the City would be throwing money at fixing up a park that the City would continually have to rebuild. Mr. Lindell stated the need for a plan to deal with the other issues, along with the new park. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Lindell stated that he was referring to safety and drug issues, noting that 42% of the individuals surveyed cited the issue of safety. He questioned the sense of having a nice park if people were afraid to leave their homes or go to the park. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Sudler confirmed that Ms. Chandler resided in Dover Housing Authority housing. Mr. Neil advised that Mr. Sudler had been addressing problems with the Dover Housing Authority, and Mr. Neil had supported this. He stated that putting up the park would not resolve the massive problems related to the Dover Housing Authority, people who are looking for housing, and homeless people who are asking for the same kind of help. Mr. Neil indicated that safety in the community is the most important thing that the City can provide and that the park would not suddenly turn those who are running around with guns into nice citizens who will play competitive games. Mr. Neil advised that a comprehensive plan was needed for the entire City that fits parks within the overall program. Mr. Sudler expressed his belief that Ms. Chandler was trying to convey that there is a correlation between drug, safety, and youth issues and the lack of something for

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 14 youth to do, and the park or new recreational facility could help to deter those issues. He noted that no one has the answer; however, something has to be put in motion. Mr. Anderson indicated that he liked the idea of developing a master plan, noting that this plan would deal with safety and security because nothing else would work without security. He suggested starting with establishing security, which is vital; however, he stated that once this is established, there must be positive alternatives to fill the time. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Sudler for the work he had done on this matter, especially the community meeting and the walk-through, noting that he had been unable to attend the walk-through due to his work schedule. He stated that he was also impressed by the work staff had done to start moving in the right direction. Mr. Anderson informed members that the broken windows theory states that when things are kept up, the likelihood of vandalism decreases; however, neglect sends a message that a location can be a haven for bad activity because no one is watching. He indicated that upkeep, security cameras, and other measures to get security on the ground would help everything, noting that the Dover Housing Authority would also have to do its part since they are a major part of the issue. Mr. Slavin advised that he was not surprised by the current status of Dover Park, expressing his opinion that a path of benign neglect began approximately five (5) years ago through decisions made at the staff level at that time, and not by Council. He explained that those decisions led to a decision about demolishing the building. Mr. Slavin stated that several members of Council at that time, including him, Representative Sean Lynn, who was a Councilman at that time, and Mr. Anderson had requested that the demolition of the building not be allowed until there was money to build something new, or the result would be a vacant lot. Mr. Slavin asked Mr. Hugg to look into the concept of pop-up parks, where parks are taken to locations instead of building infrastructure, or while waiting for infrastructure to be built. He stated that the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research (NCALL) had closed a portion of New Street for an evening last year to create a pop-up park. Mr. Slavin noted that a previous speaker had mentioned the need for things for kids to do at Manchester Square, and this program would be a perfect application for that. He explained that the activity would occupy a four- hour or six-hour window, and staff could obtain donations or he could help. He stated that this model had been used with some success, and Dr. Chanda Jackson, NCALL, had put this activity together. Mr. Neil stated the need to work with the Capital School District, which has safe buildings and areas, many with gymnasiums and facilities that would be immediately available for activities. He indicated that the Police Athletic League (PAL) should be extended. Mr. Neil stated that the sooner the youth become excited about healthy sports and games that get them away from TVs, smart phones, and computers, the better off everyone would be. He noted that parents must become involved and help to lead this effort. Mr. Neil indicated that Towne Point/White Oak meetings are held in a school by special permission, and games and activities could also be held there.

Página 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 15 He stated that nothing would have to be created specifically within the park now and outdoor activities could be transferred there. Mr. Neil indicated that part of the master plan should include determining if schools can be utilized and what the cost would be. As a recent member of the Capital District School Board, Mr. Lindell noted that one (1) of the issues would be the costs of the building, such as running the air conditioning in the summer. He offered to reach out to the District, if Chairman Sudler desired. Mr. Sudler requested that Mr. Lindell contact the District to see if they could provide research, finances, or other assistance. Mr. Lindell indicated that he could inquire about their buildings, as well as programs that the Capital School District may have over the summer compared to what the City has in mind. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that the Parks and Recreation, and Planning Staff had taken to heart the commitment to address the issues being discussed. He indicated that the focus of the City’s park activities had been at Schutte Park and in facilities related to the Pitts Center; however, there had been discussion about activities that could be transposed or duplicated and offered on an ad-hoc basis. Mr. Hugg advised that some activities, such as Frisbee football, could be relocated to the Dover Park without spending a great deal of money, noting that there were facilities already at the park in many cases. He advised that there had been discussion about trying to find outside mentors or coaches to run a tennis clinic at Dover Park for a couple of hours and expressed the desire to bring opportunities to the park that would not put a burden on staff. Mr. Sudler stated that some of the activities that were requested were currently being provided; however, he suggested that there may be a need for additional advertising and outreach to make this known. He also indicated that there may be a need to provide transportation to the site if this is an issue. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated his belief that there was an opportunity for a fresh start. He indicated that there was not much programming at other parks because staff was wrapped up in the day-to-day activities and no one had asked or thought about it. Mr. Hugg noted that some programs could easily be offered at alternative locations, and it would just be a matter of deciding to do it. He indicated that there was a real opportunity to get people involved and provide additional resources and activities that the City had not been able to provide in the past. Mr. Lewis stated that earlier in the day he had provided Mr. Hugg with an email from the Delaware League of Local Governments (DLLG) regarding park and recreation grant opportunities. He noted that “Meet Me at the Park” play space grants could help to provide and purchase play equipment and park structures. Mr. Lewis advised that the application deadline for this opportunity was June 23, 2017. Mr. Hugg indicated that staff was working on this grant and would apply. In addition, he stated that a grant proposal had been submitted to develop some of the detailed cost estimates for Phase 1 at Schutte Park. Mr. Hugg advised that if the City was going to commit to doing a parks program, this should be done right, which would take

Página 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 16 some work; however, staff members were eager for the opportunity to demonstrate that activities and better uses could be brought to the City’s facilities. Mr. Lewis noted that there were grant opportunities through the National Recreation and Park Association and it was just a matter of applying. Mr. Hugg indicated that there are numerous grants, including a Lowe’s grant for park development, and the City must commit to submitting applications. Mr. Neil stated the need for publicity and suggested using electric bills to spread the word about events, as well as issuing news releases and talking to the newspaper about developing features. He advised that information about activities could also be distributed through the school system. Mr. Neil stated the importance of publicity, explaining that people are not participating because they do not know that events exist. Mr. Lewis concurred with Mr. Neil, noting that the Police Athletic League (PAL) and the Green Beret Program at the former Boys and Girls Club were good programs that were not being publicized. He explained that the Green Beret Program is a camp for kids that offers rigorous training through the coordination of law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Dover Police Department, and Delaware Department of Corrections. Mr. Lewis stated that PAL is an up and coming program that would be happy to accept donations because they do not have a facility and are using Central Middle School for basketball. Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Work Director, reviewed a memorandum dated June 13, 2017, entitled “Dover Park Update from the Department of Public Works (DPW) to the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee,” noting that 13 items had been identified. She advised that some of the items had been on staff’s agenda, explaining that members of the mowing crew and a litter staff member go through the park on a regular basis. Mrs. Duca noted that staff had started repairs and staining work on the pavilion, and they hoped to complete both pavilions within the next few weeks. She indicated that, for the most part, staff was able to repair picnic tables in-house, and they were working on that. Mrs. Duca noted that staff was also redoing the checkerboard tables, with one (1) remaining to be completed. She stated that the seating around these tables must be modified since even a small child would have difficulty sitting at them. Mrs. Duca advised that the shuffleboard and hopscotch area had been cleaned, and staff was awaiting direction regarding a replacement selection for that location. Mrs. Duca noted that the fence along the eastern property was of particular concern and had been assessed by the Grounds Crew, and work on the fence began earlier in the week. She explained that many of the trees that had fallen along this property line were from the Manchester Square side, so staff worked with that group in order to do the work. Mrs. Duca indicated that the desired end result for the park would determine whether some vegetation should remain on the property line. She advised

Página 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 17 that pulling down all the vines would cause an issue with the fencing, and there would be a need to look at that expense further. Mrs. Duca noted that the Grounds Crew and Streets Division would be repainting the gate at the entrance to the main drive, and had received offers from volunteer groups to assist in that area. Referring to the Storm Drain System Investigation, she advised members that the Streets Division had been aware of some of the storm drains; however, they were not properly located in Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) documentation. Mrs. Duca indicated that this investigation would help the City with its permit obligations and noted the probable need to video the lines and put appropriate controls in place to keep the City out of violation. In response to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Duca explained that a checkerboard table had been redone by Mr. Jeff Kucek, Building Maintenance Craftsperson II, Public Works Department. She stated that she had initially hoped that staff could clean and work on the tables; however, Mr. Kucek refinished the table and reapplied the checkerboard. She indicated that this did not take an excessive amount of time because of Mr. Kucek’s skill set, and it was something he wanted to do to make the area presentable. Mrs. Duca provided a photograph of the refinished checkerboard table at Dover Park. Mr. Lindell advised that he took his daughter to Silver Lake Park last week and observed graffiti on one (1) of the signs listing playground rules. Responding, Mrs. Duca stated that staff would look into this matter. Mr. Sudler thanked Mrs. Duca for staff’s hard work. He advised members that, as the City moves forward with repairing and upgrading all of the parks, there would likely be a need for additional staff, explaining that the Director must have the proper staff in order to be successful. He noted that this may require a tax increase, which had been discussed in a meeting this week and would also be included in a survey. Mr. Caldwell expressed his hope that the ideas presented during the meeting would be accomplished, noting that the older children in his neighborhood play basketball at William Henry Middle School, but the younger children play in the streets because they have nowhere else to go and do not have their own activities. He informed members that there had been shootings in his neighborhood, it is dangerous, and the problems in Manchester Square and around Dover Park exist all over the City, not just in one (1) community. Mr. Caldwell asked members to move forward with the good ideas that had been presented, including advertisement and publication to let people know about the activities that are available. He stated that schools would be closing for the summer, it would be hot, and there would be energy for undesirable activities in the community. Mr. Caldwell asked that something be done beyond the discussion in the Council Chambers. In response to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Caldwell advised that he lives in the Westwood area, which is connected to Lincoln Park. He reiterated that his community had the same activities and problems that others were going through, such as shootings, crime, drinking, and motorcycle activity.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 18 Mr. Anderson suggested developing volunteer opportunities, investigating AmeriCorps, and taking advantage of programs such as the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). The Committee recommended acceptance of the recommendations of the community meeting of May 25, 2017. Councilman Sudler, Chair of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee, advised that there were a lot of recommendations, which they are currently compiling for a future meeting. Mr. Neil complimented Councilman Sudler for the walk through and the work he has done. He expressed concern with moving forward before making a decision about the Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Neil reminded members that the Acting Director of Planning and Community Development, Mr. Dave Hugg, has made a number of recommendations with a number of options. He also noted that money has not been set aside in the budget for a Director of Recreation. Mr. Neil stated that he would like to delay or table discussion of the parks. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that he understood Councilman Neil’s concerns and noted that it was incumbent upon members of Council to decide which way they want to go with Parks and Recreation in terms of a director or a manager. Mr. Hugg stated that he thought there was a great opportunity to make some significant park improvements. He advised members that they recently received an official letter advising them that they had $30,000 in State matching money for the Dover Park Master Plan, and $70,000 in City matching money to begin the improvements at Schutte Park. Mr. Hugg stated that the funding, coupled with the significant and very positive community input they received at Continental Park, indicate that their constituents want them to take some actions to address the park system and to bring them back to the quality that they were. He suggested that a lot could be done just by prioritizing some of the staff, noting that the City has a very dedicated Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Hugg stated that he would hate to see the momentum that Councilman Sudler has built be slowed down by other considerations. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager, stated that $80,000 was earmarked for an unspecified purpose for Dover Park. She noted that she agreed with Mr. Hugg’s comment about the momentum that has been built and indicated that there had been a lot of public discourse and public participation about the parks. Mrs. Mitchell stated that she would like to see improvements made within the confines of the budget, even if it means that they might not be able to be aggressive when they start out with a plan. She noted that the matching funds will go a long way towards helping them. Mr. Lewis asked Mr. Hugg how many grants had been applied for with respect to assisting in revamping Parks and Recreation. Responding, Mr. Hugg advised that they had applied for three (3) and had received notice that they were eligible to apply formally for two (2). He noted that, on Friday, they submitted a grant for a KidZone Trail project that is funded by the National Recreation and Parks Association and Disney. Mr. Hugg advised that they applied for $50,000 to match other monies for development of an innovative program and facility for young kids at Dover Park and he

Página 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 19 thought they had a very good application. He complimented Carolyn Courtney of the Parks and Recreation Department who put most of the application together. Mr. Neil advised that, based on the comments of the Acting Planning and Community Development Director and the Acting City Manager, he would withdraw his concerns. Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Update - Bicentennial Village - Continental Park During the Regular City Council Meeting of April 10, 2017, members approved the Council Committee of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee’s recommendation to refer the matter regarding Request for Benches - Continental Park to the Parks and Recreation Department to look at creating a playground. Mr. David Hugg, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development, informed members that a number of discussions had been held with residents of the Bicentennial Village area, in part regarding a request for benches along Independence Boulevard. He explained that Continental Park is a triangular-shaped park approximately halfway through the development that is mostly wooded with some grassy fields, and an additional location had been identified to the east in the center of Bicentennial Village that may offer an opportunity for active playground areas. Mr. Hugg stated that there had been discussions with people who had expressed interest in the park, and a community workshop on this topic would be held on June 22, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at the park site or in the Dover Public Library in the event of rain. He explained that a key question would be whether the grassy area should be used as a passive play area for children with parental supervision or have more active kinds of facilities. Mr. Hugg indicated that the grassy area was very well maintained by the Public Works Department and is very attractive. He stated that the woodland area had a lot of invasive species and undergrowth and was not being managed well as a woodland, although it did provide a great deal of wooded cover for the part of the development backing up to it. Mr. Neil stated his recollection that there had been young mothers who were excited about a possible playground for younger children at Continental Park, and he wanted to make sure that this message was not bypassed. Mr. Hugg advised that this had been stated during the community meeting related to Dover Park on May 25, 2017. He stated that there was a question regarding whether Continental Park was a safe location for a playground or if there was a more contained location owned by the City with less traffic that may lend itself to a more active park use. Mr. Hugg advised that Continental Park is a nice, placid area with the potential for the addition of benches or a table or two (2), so that individuals could sit and read or watch their children play on the grass. He expressed his hope that the community would come out to

Página 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 20 discuss their needs and the focus would not be on a particular proposal or transportation solution. Mr. Sudler reviewed the “City of Dover’s Park and Recreational Enhancement Committee Chair’s Assessment & Recommendations for Continental Park,” dated June 8, 2017. He stated that Continental Park was very well maintained and impressive. He indicated that, as the Committee Chair, he plans to go to all the parks and take pictures so that he has a better understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for each park as the City moves forward to upgrade them. Mr. Lewis thanked Mr. Sudler for doing the walk-through and evaluating City parks, stating that it is important that the public is protected from safety issues. He noted that broken bottles had been found, and it would be a travesty if a child was hurt. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Slavin presiding in the absence of Chairman Hare. Clarification - Request for Incentives - Nail Spa by TR Mr. Slavin stated that this item had been brought forward a number of times. He stated that Chairman Hare was particularly interested in this matter and, since he was not present, suggested that it be deferred. The Committee deferred this item. Discussion - Fiscal Year 2017 Audit Program Ms. Lori Peddicord, Assistant Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a presentation entitled “Auditor’s Responsibility for Communicating with Audit Committee.” She noted that the auditors, CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP would be doing preliminary testing in the field during the entire week of June 26, 2017. She advised that between this date and September 2017, when the auditors do their final field work, the Finance Department would be closing the books, reconciling accounts, and completing various reporting requirements. The Committee recommended acceptance of the audit program, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Lewis moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried.
