PROCLAMATION - BLACK HISTORY MONTH
The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record:
WHEREAS, during Black History Month we celebrate the many contributions and achievements
made by African American's to our nation's economic, cultural, spiritual, and political growth. The
Association for the Study of African American Life and History has chosen "Black Migrations" as
the 2019 Black History theme which emphasizes the movement of people of African descent to new
destinations and subsequently to new social realities; and
WHEREAS, beginning in the early decades of the twentieth century, African American migration
patterns included relocation from southern farms to southern cities and from the South to the
Northeast, Midwest, and West and these migration patterns have greatly influenced society. As a
result of these migration patterns, a more diverse interracial urban population developed, industrial
workers and black entrepreneurs emerged, the variety of religions and urban churches increased, and
new forms of music such as ragtime, blues and jazz flourished and became staples of American
culture; and
WHEREAS, African American men and women have made extraordinary sacrifices and untold
contributions to this great country of which we as Americans should be very proud.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER,
DELAWARE do hereby proclaim February 2019 as BLACK HISTORY MONTH in the City of
Dover and urge all citizens to recognize the essential role of African Americans in shaping our
nation's history, and commit to working together to build a society that lives up to its dynamic
principle of liberty and justice for all.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with
Chairman Sudler presiding.
Presentation - Inclusive Playgrounds
Mr. Tom Talley, a Rotarian with Brandywine-Naamans Club in Wilmington and
Can-Do Playground Chair, and Ms. Deb Edwards, Assistant Governor for the five
(5) local Rotary clubs, reviewed information regarding how the Rotary developed
Can-Do Playgrounds near Wilmington, and in Milford and Middletown to
accommodate children and families of all abilities. Mr. Talley noted that the projects
required a lot of planning, expertise, and coordination between the State and
municipalities. He stated that he and Ms. Edwards wanted to determine whether the
City of Dover is interested in developing an all-inclusive playground, like the Can-
Do Playgrounds, so they can explain the City’s interest to the local Rotary clubs.
Mr. Anderson noted that he thought this was important because it would help serve
members throughout the community, and asked if the local rotaries were interested.
Responding, Ms. Edwards indicated that they had just learned about the City’s
interest and were asked to come share information. She noted that she had sent a
preliminary email to the presidents of the local rotary clubs, however, they needed
to gather additional information regarding the expectations of the City that she could
take back to the presidents and the hopefully begin a collaborative effort between all
of the clubs.
Mr. Neil stated that the Rotary Club was very much a part of the City, noting that
they were sponsoring the Jolly Trolley for First Fridays. He advised that he spent 20
years in the state of Maryland in vocational rehabilitation and was very proud of
what he was able to accomplish in terms of public affairs for the vocation. Mr. Neil
stated that he thought the fact that the Rotary had developed a blueprint based on
experience would make it much easier for the City. In response, Mr. Talley noted
that there had been a number of publications which had recognized the
Can-Do Playgrounds, and people from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey
have brought their children to utilize the playgrounds. He stated that they have been
able to change the lives of young people.
Mr. Polce, referring to the $480,000 charitable contributions for the Wilmington
project, asked who contributed and what the average contribution was from the
surrounding community. He indicated that the City always loves the opportunity to
partner with the community, especially in regarding to capital investment, however,
he also likes to consider how much the City will be responsible for paying. In
response, Mr. Talley stated that he did not know how much money the City would
be responsible for or how much would have to be raised. He indicated that, in the
past, they had divided up the fundraising initiative and worked with Parks and
Recreation for the State because they contributed the land. Mr. Talley advised that
Página 6
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 4
some of the contributions were from foundations and various businesses within the
community, noting that the Longwood Foundation was one of the largest
contributors. He noted that the Rotary District also utilized its grant process and
contributed more than $100,000.
Responding to Mr. Polce in regard to the monetary contributions of Nemours,
Mr. Talley stated that several physicians and the therapy departments at Nemours
contributed to the project, one (1) of their nurses helped in the planning, and they
refer patients’ families to the playground.
Mr. Lindell noted that his family frequently visits the Milford Can-Do Playground
and his five-year-old daughter loves it, and it provides her with an opportunity to
interact with children she would not typically and new social skills. He noted that
the information regarding the Milford playground stated that there was $850,000 in
contributions, and asked if that was the total cost of the playground. In response,
Mr. Talley explained that $850,000 was the total, including the value of the land
which was supplied by the City of Milford. He noted that the cost of the playground
equipment is only one aspect, explaining that the land, engineering, drainage,
leveling, etc. were other elements that the State provided assistance within the past.
Mr. Lindell stated that he is a fan of public/private partnerships and he thought that
this seemed like a very noble project to undertake, however, he noted that it is easy
to build something but maintaining it takes additional commitment which needs to
be considered when making a decision to proceed. Responding, Mr. Talley advised
that the Rotary entered into an agreement with the State which defined their roles,
and the Rotarians agreed to provide volunteers to help the State maintain the
playground. He stated that they also created an endowment fund to help with
maintenance costs. Mr. Talley noted that they had just completed a 10-year
anniversary celebration and had a second fundraiser to upgrade the playground, make
repairs, and add an interpretive area.
Mr. Caldwell stated that he was in favor of an inclusive playground for the City of
Dover because it would benefit kids in the area; however, he thought that the City
needed to determine who would be involved and what the financial impact would be.
Mr. Sudler noted that individuals in the community had contacted him regarding this
need and he was happy to hear that members share this vision for an inclusive
playground. He advised that he had spoken with Senator Colin Bonini who is willing
to provide financial assistance and wants to talk to the City about making a
contribution. Mr. Sudler noted that there are also grass-roots initiatives outside of
the City that can help make this a reality.
Mr. Neil noted that there was a plan for Dover Park and he thought it would be
beneficial to include this type of playground as an enhancement to that plan and the
Rotary can play a role. He asked what the current status was for Dover Park.
Responding, Mr. Sudler stated that he thought Dover Park would be a great staring
point since the City was currently revitalizing that park. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City
Página 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 5
Manager, stated that she would like to look at this option for Dover Park and would
also like to look at the master plan for each of the City’s parks to determine if this
would be feasible for all three (3) major City parks.
Mr. Kirby Hudson, Director of Parks and Recreation, agreed that he thought the City
should begin with Dover Park since there is a five-year master plan. He also thought
the City should look at this concept for Schutte Park. Mr. Hudson stated that the
concept is excellent and would be a draw that is desperately needed for all the City
parks. He cautioned members to keep demographics in mind, explaining that he
would not want the City to put all its resources into an area where they will not be
utilized because there are not children in that area anymore.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that the current master plan for Dover Park has a five-year
implementation for affordability, explaining that the City will spend $130,000 a year
over the five (5) years. She advised that there are optional suggestions in the plan
for future years if the City can afford it and noted that if the City partners with a
group such as the Rotary, she did not think it would take five (5) years to complete
the plan. Mrs. Mitchell stated that since the City already had master plans for
Schutte Park and Dover Park, she would prefer an opportunity to get the master plan
for Silver Lake Park completed and work with the Rotary group and City staff to
review the master plans and come back with a conceptual idea during the budget
process.
Mr. Anderson stated that he was curious to know if there is local interest from civic
organizations in providing funding. In response, Mayor Christiansen stated that, as
a Rotarian, he knew that if the City asked, the Rotary would do it. Mr. Hare, as a
Rotarian, agreed with Mayor Christiansen, but noted that the five (5) Rotary Clubs
in Dover do not have $400,000 and it would take time to get grant proposals in and
determine the funding sources.
Ms. Edwards indicated that, as a representative for the five (5) Rotary Clubs in the
area, she will need to get confirmation from all the clubs that they are interested in
this project. She explained that, in order to get their support, she will need to provide
an idea of the City’s level of expectation for the Rotary’s involvement.
The Committee recommended referring the inclusive playgrounds to staff, with a
positive recommendation, and that staff return with a feasibility report in six (6)
months.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 6
Evaluation of Proposals - Tree Trimming
Mr. James Robinson, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis
regarding the evaluation of proposals for tree trimming.
Mr. Polce noted that the City had two (2) arborists on staff and asked if a cost-benefit
analysis had been done to determine whether hiring arborists internally would be
more beneficial than contracting it out. Responding, Mr. Robinson stated that he was
not aware that a cost-benefit analysis had been done; however, he thought it may
have been considered in the past. He informed members that there is special training
involved with putting people up in the power zone, and while arborists know the
trees very well, they don’t necessarily know the electricity aspect. Additionally, the
equipment has to be specially designed to work in the power zone. Mr. Robinson
stated that, during his prior experience in Massachusetts, the electric department had
its own forestry crew and they found that it was basically a tradeoff. He noted that
one of the benefits for the City of Dover is being able to continue with a firm that
knows the City very well, and that the City knows very well. Mr. Robinson advised
that the City may want to consider other alternatives if it did not have that type of
situation.
Mr. Polce stated that he would not encourage the City to spend money on a cost-
benefit analysis if it was not readily available. He noted that they were not talking
about a large sum of money; however, since there are already two (2) arborists on
staff, he wondered how much more it would cost for the additional work.
Staff recommended awarding a contract to Asplundh Tree Expert LLC as per the
proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-001EL.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare
presiding.
Report of Independent Public Accountants for the Fiscal Year Ending
June 30, 2018
Mr. Remi Omisore, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), reviewed a presentation entitled
“City of Dover, Delaware Audit Results Year Ended June 30, 2018”.
Staff recommended acceptance of the report.
Mr. Sudler noted that Mr. Omisore stated that no one had received any additional
information from other auditors and that the City was very cooperative and
Página 9
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 7
professional. He asked if this was normal or if these types of situations happen quite
often. Responding, Mr. Omisore advised that it does not happen quite often, which
is why it is a required disclosure. He explained that he would have to disclose if
anyone put any undue pressure on the auditors, so Council could perform any follow
up and determine the course of action.
In response to Mr. Polce, Mr. Omisore stated that CLA worked with approximately
2,000 other municipalities or jurisdictions across the country. He noted that CLA is
a top 10 firm in the U.S., and the only firm in the top 10 that does not specialize in
any SEC clients. Mr. Omisore stated that CLA’s only clients are governments, not
for profits, and some privately held businesses, noting that CLA has more
government clients than any other firm in the country.
Mr. Polce expressed concern with the City’s capital asset sheet, explaining that he
thought that the City was probably a bit over leveraged. He indicated that the City
is continuing to look at its depreciative assets and what they are truly valued at, and
are continuing to probably lose its financial footing. Mr. Polce asked if a majority
of the municipalities or local jurisdictions CLA is working with are in similar
situations. Responding, Mr. Omisore stated that it is a major concern, and it is
difficult to summarize everything in one (1) key line item. He advised that the
pressures of maintaining capital assets going through infrastructure is one of the
main concerns, as well as finding applicable revenue streams for funding. He stated
that, as Mr. Polce noted, the leverage model is to borrow today and pay for it
tomorrow; however, he indicated that it would eventually need to be reconciled and
is a heavy concern. Mr. Omisore stated that the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) published a study two (2) or three (3) years ago regarding what
this problem and the appropriate source of funding it. He stated that he would send
the study to Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, for distribution to members.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the report.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Fiscal Year Ending
June 30, 2018
Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a presentation entitled “City of
Dover Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018”.
Staff recommended acceptance of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2018.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

Proposed Ordinance #2019-02 - Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and
Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-7 - Registered Sexual Offenders
Mr. Hare explained that Proposed Ordinance #2019-02 would amend Chapter 70 -
Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-7 - Registered Sexual Offenders,
to comply with recently adopted State legislation.
Staff recommended adoption of the Ordinance.
Mr. Neil expressed concern with lines 64 and 65 of the Proposed Ordinance, which
state that it “is unlawful for a sexual offender to wear costumes for the primary
purpose of entertaining, attracting or encouraging interaction with children.” He
questioned whether it would be unconstitutional to ban convicted sex offenders from
wearing any costume at any time, noting that he could imagine a defense attorney
using intent as a means to exonerate the individual. In response, Mr. Hare explained
that the Ordinance did not propose any amendments to lines 64 or 65. He indicated
that Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, could research the State Code, explaining that
he was hesitant to make any changes that were not in line with the State.
The Committee recommended adoption of Ordinance #2019-02.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. (The First Reading of the
ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.)
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole
Report, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of

By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the nomination of Retired Sergeant Steve
Rogers to serve on the Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, for a three-year term to

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Council Committee of the Whole met on January 29, 2019 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President
Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:01 p.m.),
Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Mayor Christiansen was also
present. Mrs. Doyle (Utility) was present. Mrs. Haass (Utility) was 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. Lindell and unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Proposals - Design and Construction of Parks and Recreation Building
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the design and
construction of the Parks and Recreation Building to be sited adjacent to the John W. Pitts Center.
Staff recommended awarding the contract to Dutchman Contracting to perform the Design and
Construction of a new Parks and Recreation Building, Bid #19-0012PR, for the amount of $290,702.
In response to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the budget was $260,000. She stated that staff
was going to transfer funds from the Schutte Park improvements project to cover the difference,
since that project would not be completed this year. Mrs. Mitchell noted that there was a change to
this project for an additional bathroom because there was concern regarding the administrative staff
and construction staff coming in from the field using the same bathroom.
Mr. Lindell moved to recommend awarding the contract to Dutchman Contracting to perform
the Design and Construction of a new Parks and Recreation Building, Bid #19-0012PR, for the
amount of $290,702, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and
unanimously carried.
Annexation Request - 2920 North DuPont Highway, Owned by NewWind Properties
2920 LLC
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the Petition to Annex and Rezone Property located
at 2920 North DuPont Highway, owned by NewWind Properties 2920 LLC. She advised members
that the property does not have City water service, so it would have to use a well, and it does not
have City sewer, and the developer will have to obtain approval from the Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT) and City of Dover to connect the sanitary sewer on the opposite side of
Route 13. Mrs. Mitchell noted that the developer wants to utilize the existing well and connect to
the City’s sanitary sewer system. She stated that the standard basis for sewer charges would apply,
and impact fees for the sanitary sewer connection would be $17,816, based on the fixture count
provided by the developer. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the monthly estimated sanitary sewer cost
would be $194.70, if annexed into the City. She explained that, since the property will not have a
water meter for the well, staff developed an average charge for a similar business and informed the
developer that this would be the monthly fixed cost for sewer. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the
developer would need to obtain necessary approval from DelDOT and the Delaware Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) prior to construction, and the Office of
Página 34
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF JANUARY 29, 2019 PAGE 2
Drinking Water for use of the well. She also noted that the applicant will need to abide by any
federal, state or local laws for water quality.
Mr. Neil asked what the Department of Public Works would need in terms of approval or
verification, before moving forward. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Jason Lyon, Water / Wastewater
Manager, stated that DelDOT will have to approve the layout and maintenance of traffic, since the
connection will require boring under Route 13, which is a State road. Additionally, the developer
will have to provide a plan of action and show how they are actually going to connect to the sewer
on the western side of Route 13. Mr. Lyon explained that, most likely, they will have a pit on each
side of Route 13 and bore underneath to make the connection. He stated that this would require
DNREC approval because it has responsibility over centralized sewer. Mr. Lyon advised that
DNREC may have to approve the construction as well, depending on whether the business will
produce more than 2,000 gallons of sewage per day.
In response to Mr. Neil, Mr. Lyon stated that the property owner would need to have these approvals
to get annexation. He informed members that, to his knowledge, the developer had done enough
legwork with DelDOT to feel comfortable proceeding with the annexation request. Mr. Lyon stated
that he felt that the constructability is feasible and should not be an issue, and a condition of the
annexation should be that they have sanitary sewer.
Mr. Anderson stated that he tended to have concerns with annexing properties, particularly
noncontiguous properties that add to the infrastructure, and asked who would pay for the connection
cost. He indicated that this was a high priority area in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and asked if
the pipe would be large enough to accommodate future annexations in this area. Responding to
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that all of the costs will be borne by the contractor and developer.
He noted that the impact fee mentioned by Mrs. Mitchell is essentially the cost for the life of the
infrastructure and to get service to this property. Mr. Lyon advised that he had not yet seen the plans
indicating the size they were planning to bore under the road; however, he supposed that the
developer was only going to put in the lateral that could supply his property.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the annexation. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Hare and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no.
Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:09 p.m.
Mr. Polce moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:09 p.m.
