REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
The Regular Council Meeting was held on April 23, 2018 at 7:30 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, Ms. Peddicord, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, Deputy
Fire Chief Rhodes, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was absent.
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.
Dr. Tony Allen, executive vice president and provost at Delaware State University (DSU), noted that
DSU is a 127-year-old institution anchored in Dover with 21,000 alum, many of which have
contributed in substantive ways, including being lifelong residents of the City of Dover. He provided
statistical information gathered by the University of Delaware Center for Applied Demography on
DSU’s local economic impact. Dr. Allen advised that Dr. Wilma Mishoe, President of DSU, had
provided a letter to all members of Council the previous Friday (Exhibit #1) regarding Proposed
Ordinance #2018-03 which would amend the Dover Code of Ordinances by creating a new
Chapter 84 - Public Safety Fee.
With respect to the public safety fee, Dr. Allen stated that DSU thinks that there are better ways for
them to engage, and they do want to be engaged. He advised that DSU thinks that Dover, like many
urban environments, has financial and economic challenges that are not dissimilar to other urban
environments and university partnerships can be key in solving some of those pressing concerns.
Dr. Allen stated that DSU believes that their growth is intricately tied to the City of Dover and they
believe that they have the intellectual capital among their faculty, staff, and students, as well as an
interest in growing the DSU campus, and they think they would be of service to the City.
Dr. Allen advised that DSU thinks that the proposed ordinance violates Delaware Code and,
probably more importantly, threatens their tax exempt status, which is a risk they are unwilling to
take. He reiterated their willingness to partner with the City in a substantive way, to think about
creative opportunities to make sure that they are being seen as partners who help with the City’s
economic and financial challenges, and to mutually grow together.
Mr. Charles Spiering, 120 Mifflin Road, advised of a drainage issue between his property and his
neighbors property. He noted that he provided the City with a letter outlining the problem
approximately two (2) years ago and he did not hear back. Mr. Spiering stated that about five weeks
ago he dropped off a letter explaining the issue and pictures of the property and did not hear back.
Additionally, he stopped by the previous week and spoke with someone in Public Works and had
not heard back again.
Council President Slavin apologized and advised that the City Manager, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, would
speak with Mr. Spiering at the conclusion of the Open Forum.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2018 PAGE 2
(City Clerk’s Office Note: According to the Public Works Director, Mrs. Sharon Duca,
Mr. Spiering’s request was received approximately one month prior and it was provided to
Mr. Robin Eaton, Department of Public Works Operations Manager. The request was researched
and Mr. Eaton left messages for Mr. Spiering prior to that day. Mr. Spiering called Mr. Eaton back
on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 and apologized for not getting back to him sooner, as he had been
busy. Mr. Eaton notified Mr. Spiering that Mifflin Road was a State road and, as such, his concerns
would be forwarded to DelDOT. It should be noted that 120 and 114 Mifflin Road (referenced in
his correspondence) are not in City limits. In addition, as DelDOT just recently repaved Mifflin
Road, it is unlikely that DelDOT will do additional paving of the shoulder around the traffic circle.))
Dr. Michael Casson, Director of Delaware State University’s Center for Economic Development and
International Trade (UCEDIT), advised that the charge of the center, which is funded through the
U.S. Commerce Economic Development Administration, is to leverage the resources of Delaware
State University for local economic development efforts. He noted that he had worked on multiple
projects within the City of Dover, including the Food Innovation District, the African-American
Small Business and Work Force Inclusion Study, and the Garrison Tract Study, all of which were
opportunities that they leveraged and partnered with the City on. Dr. Casson stated that, going
forward, there were many more opportunities for DSU to leverage its resources to further the
economic growth in the City and he was looking forward to it.
Mr. Steve Canto, referring to a newspaper article about the homeless situation at the library, noted
that Code Purple brought a lot of people to Dover. He noted that it was good that they are helping
the homeless; however, he was concerned about liability and lawsuits. Mr. Canto also expressed
concern about sex offenders frequenting the library and Silver Lake Park.
The invocation was given by Bishop Thomas L. Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mr. Anderson thanked Mrs. Mitchell for her diligence with the Woodcrest complaints. He also
noted that Dover Days would be more focused on The Green this year, as opposed to Legislative
Mall, though there would also be events at Legislative Mall.
Mr. Anderson announced that Military Spouse Appreciation Day would be observed on
May 11, 2018 and noted that the people who serve are very much supported by their families, and
we want to thank all of those families for the support they give to the service members.
Mr. Anderson offered praise for the Open Streets crew for the work they did with Wesley College
and Restoring Central Dover to do something that's a very positive start for the community. He
noted that there would be two or three more events this summer.
Mr. Lewis announced that he, Mr. Neil, Mayor Christiansen and Mr. Hugg had the opportunity
earlier in the day to welcome The House of Coffi, another new business across the street. He
thanked Mr. Hugg for being a part of advancing the economic development in the City.
Mr. Neil reiterated Mr. Anderson’s praise for the Open Streets program, noting that the grant came
in very late and the volunteers expressed gratitude for so many people who came out for their first
event. He also noted that, on page 10 under Business, was "Dover named best budget destination.
Delaware's quaint villages recently announced that Dover was named one of the top 12 best budget
destinations in America. Part 1 of the northeast by budgettravel.com, a multimedia-level platform
and a brand that inspires savvy travelers to see more for less." Mr. Neil advised that this was the
second kudo that has come from a national company. The other one was when Expedia named
Dover the best place for a getaway in Delaware. Mr. Neil stated that it was the result of the efforts
of Wendie Vestfall, the new director of Kent County Tourism. He noted that the occupancy rates
are up in our hotels and motels by 2.6% as a result of the efforts and the national exposure Kent
County is getting and Dover is benefitting from it.

April 20, 2018
The Honorable Timothy A. Slavin
Council President
City of Dover
P.O. Box 475
Dover, DE 19903-0475
Dear Councilman Slavin:
The prosperity of local economies and the health of their colleges and universities are inescapably
linked. It is with this understanding that Delaware State University set a strategic goal of
Outreach and Engagement, with an objective to strengthen and expand our outreach,
engagement and economic development programs to benefit the people of Delaware, the nation
and the world.
To this end, Delaware State University has successfully leveraged its resources for community
and economic development throughout the City of Dover in such areas as public health,
entrepreneurship, public safety, and workforce development. Specifically, our University Center
for Economic Development and International Trade conducted the Garrison Technology Park
Market and Feasibility Study, the African-American Workforce and Small Business Inclusion
Study, and the City of Dover Economic Development and Real Estate Symposium. Moreover,
collaborative efforts such as the "active shooter" drill conducted by the Dover and Delaware
State University police departments or DSU's responsiveness to "officer needs assistance" calls
from Dover PD in the vicinity of campus improve our joint ability to deal with dangerous
situations not just on campus, but also at area schools, churches, or shopping malls.
Unfortunately, however, the mutually beneficial relationship between the City and University
remains invisible and unknown to far too many people.
The economic impact of local colleges and universities makes itself felt every year. The University
of Delaware's Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research concluded that each dollar
invested in DSU generates $5.85 for the State's economy. Approximately $2 of that total remains
in the Dover/Kent County area. In 2016 this equated to $80 million, while a similar study indicated
that Wesley College annually contributes over $20 million in local economic impact as evidenced
by its recent acquisitions of two abandoned downtown Dover facilities, the Frear Federal Building
and the old Public Library.

Proposed Ordinance 2018-03
April 20, 2018
Page Two
Our institutions of higher education cause people to move into the area, contribute to the
development of a highly skilled workforce, and pay the taxes supporting local schools and
government operations. According to the Center for Applied Demography, DSU's addition to the
Dover/Kent County workforce will exceed 1,100 new workers this year, and stimulate nearly
l, 700 new jobs into the area, adding an additional $64 million in disposable personal income to
Dover's economy.
But for DSU, like Wesley College and nearly 100 nonprofits operating in Dover, those figures only
tell part of the story.
Every night the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, Shepherd Place, and Whatcoat Social
Services provide dozens of beds for the homeless citizens of our community, costing taxpayers
$5,000 per bed annually, not including meals as calculated by the Interfaith Mission. However,
when you couple these services with solutions for the eradication of homelessness in the City of
Dover being uncovered by DSU College of Business students, as demonstrated at last month's
case competition, you create a community network designed to foster collaboration and leverage
resources collectively for the betterment of the citizens of Dover.
Since 2009, Central Delaware's Habitat for Humanity has increased its annual goal forthe number
of homes constructed in the local community from one to seven. That commitment has led to
the need for increased fundraising, coordination with other nonprofit agencies, and a
dramatically expanded volunteer workforce.
Many people associate Dover's Modern Maturity Center primarily with "Meals on Wheels" and
senior daycare, but the center has an even more dramatic impact on Dover. Since opening the
Hope Medical Clinic in 2005 for those without Medicaid or Medicare, Modern Maturity has
consistently expanded services to include physical therapy, a medical practice, and minor
surgery. In 2011, Modern Maturity initiated Front Porch, the first Early Memory Loss Program in
Delaware.
A full report of the positive economic impact and provision of services by Dover's 96 nonprofits
would require dozens of pages and document hundreds of millions invested and generated in
our community. BayHealth, for example, conducts over $40 million in uncompensated medical
treatments annually for indigent local residents.
All of Dover's nonprofits operate in an ever-tightening financial environment. Federal and State
dollars for their budgets continue to decline. Fundraising becomes more difficult each year.
People having to work two jobs to stay afloat have less time to volunteer.

Proposed Ordinance 2018-03
April 20, 2018

It's disheartening when some local political leaders suggest Dover nonprofits are not paying their
"fair share" for City fire and police services, and try to solve their budget shortfalls by taxing
organizations sheltering the homeless, caring for the elderly, treating the poor, educating their
children, training their workforce, empowering their businesses and informing their citizens .
City Council's proposed ordinance 2018-03 sets the unwise and possibly illegal precedent of
taxing nonprofit organizations. Council proposes to collect "only" a penny per square exterior
foot for each nonprofit-owned structure in Dover-about $72,000. But t he tax could be raised to
twice or even ten times that rate by a single vote in subsequent years.
That' s simply unacceptable.
Dover is our community, and like other nonprofits we invest heavily in the City and surrounding
area. Many of our employees live here, and many of our graduates stay here.
We cannot agree to compromise the tax-exempt, nonprofit status that makes it possible for us
to operate in order to solve the City's deficit spending woes. That is particularly true given the
state statutory language that clearly and unequivocally exempts much of the property targeted
by this proposed ordinance from taxation or assessment:
"Property belonging to this State ... or any college or school and used for
educational or school purposes ... shall not be liable to taxation and
assessment for public purposes by any county or other political
subdivision of this State."
9 Del.C. § 8105.
Reducing the relationship of local nonprofits with Dover to a source of tax revenue is not only
wrong, it's short-sighted and threatens our ability to continue delivering the services and
economic impact upon which the City relies.
It's equally disconcerting to find you arguing that the shelters providing beds to homeless
individuals, the emergency room that gives them no-cost medical treatment, or the organization
dedicated to building them homes are not contributing their "fair share" toward the City.
We suggest collaboration rather than tax collection.

There is much that can be done to work with your two flagship educational institutions in the
Capital City, the local hospital and literally dozens of nonprofits to look at many of the social ills
that bring down our quality of life and increase need for City services. That is the kind of
partnership that makes for a good City that understands its assets and its financial and intellectual
capita l and makes it work effectively for its citizens. We welcome the opportunity to work w ith
you in finding more collaborative ways to solve your economic problems and to ensure a more
sustainable economy for the City of Dover.
Sincerely,
Wilma Mishoe, Ph.D.
President
