CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS During the Exemption Audit in FY17, these properties were requested to be brought back by the Board of Assessment Appeals. The Board gave these properties Exemption Status for three (3) years. They were supposed to come back with a plan for these lots. They had been used for parking and they had plans to build a church. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Pastor Erica Crawford was present for the hearing. The Assessor started by explaining to the Board of Assessment Appeals that these properties were brought back for review at the request of the Board of Assessment Appeals during the 2016 Exempt Audit. Pastor Crawford told the board that the church has met with the City Planner because the properties were zoned incorrectly but assured the Board that the zoning issue has been resolved. She continued by letting the Board know that the organization has contacted a couple of Non-Profit organizations regarding using some of those lots for community gardens but found out that there are already a couple of community gardens in the area. She also mentioned that the lots have been used for school fairs and other community organizations. Pastor Crawford explained that the church is trying to get building permits for parking lots on some of the properties approved, as the City of Dover currently does not allow properties to be paved for parking lots unless they are attached to a structure. Pastor Crawford told the Board that the church is working with the Planning and Inspection office to see if there is a way around that because so much of these properties are actively used for parking. Mr. Burns complimented the organization for all the work they have done and made the motion to continue the exemption. Mr. Stonesifer seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0 (Mr. Galvin had not been able to join the meeting at this time) By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed to her.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 3 Delaware State University Foundation Location Exempt Request 205 S State Street $593,600 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. This property was purchased by Delaware State University Foundation in December 2018. On their application they do not specify what this property is used for other than that their mission is devoted to the welfare and future development of Delaware State University. This Office is not aware of what the whole building is being utilized for, however a portion of the building is being rented by the House of Coffi. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Lakresha Moultrie, Dr. Vita Pickrum and Henrietta Savage were present for the meeting. Ms. Moultrie started by letting the Board know that the Delaware State University Foundation is a charitable affiliate of the University, which owns the property. She told the Board that the building is currently undergoing renovations and will ultimately be used by the University as well as the Foundation. Ms. Moultrie explained that the building was gifted to the foundation, which also included the “House of Coffi”. She told the Board that they are not making a profit from the “House of Coffi”, that they are losing a small amount of money. When asked by Chairman Garfinkel if the Assessor had something to say on the City’s behalf, Mrs. Bundek told the Board that she wanted to mention that the “House of Coffi” was located within this property as well as that Dr. Pickrum had joined the hearing. Mr. Burns asked about the losses the Foundation is incurring due to the small business, he explained that the Board wanted to make sure that the coffee shop is not producing any income for the Foundation. Dr. Pickrum told the Board that the Foundation is paying for the utilities and all other expenses for this building which include utilities for the coffee shop which are quite expensive.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 4 When asked by Mr. Burns as to when the organization is planning on moving into the building, Dr. Pickrum explained that everything has been pushed back because of the pandemic. Mr. Burns said that he was fine with granting the exemption for the property but would like to revisit the property in two years to make sure that the coffee shop was not used for profit. The Assessor said that her office could keep an eye on it and let the Board know if more income producing tenants move into the building. Chairman Garfinkel expressed his concern and wanted to know more about the rental income for the coffee shop. Ms. Moultrie told the Board that she would be more than happy to provide detailed information regarding the rental fees as well as all utility bills to the Board via email. Chairman Garfinkel pointed out that they are renting space to a commercial property and should therefore be making a profit. Ms. Moultrie explained that the coffee shop only takes up approximately 10% of the square footage of the building. She also reiterated that the coffee shop came with the building when it was gifted to the organization. Chairman Garfinkel’s opinion was that the organization should be paying property taxes on the portion of the property which is occupied by the “House of Coffi”. He asked the Assessor if it would be possible for the coffee shop to be broken out from the main parcel for taxing purposes? The Assessor explained that she would need measurements from the foundation as her office does not have exact measurements. Chairman Garfinkel told the Board that in his opinion the portion of the coffee house should be taxed, and the rest of the building could be tax exempt and proceeded to make the motion to tax the portion of the building which houses the coffee shop and exempt the rest of the property. Mr. Burns seconded that motion for sake of discussion and asked the Deputy Solicitor if there are any models considering the percentage for the minimums. Mr. Junge said that he sees no case law regarding the percentage for the minimums, but that he did see case law for taxing the 10% of the building and exempting the 90%. Ms. Moultrie mentioned that she sees case laws regarding properties held by way of investment and mentioned a specific case law that had to do with loss of income. She told the Board that the University is taking a loss for that portion of the property.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 5 Mr. Burns asked the Assessor if there are properties in the City of Dover which are split for this reason. Mrs. Bundek explained that there are not, because it would be difficult to split portions of a property for exemption and keep the rest of the property in line with like properties for valuation purposes. Mr. Burns asked the Assessor if she could give an approximate percentage of area of the coffee shop. She replied that percentage of the coffee house is approximately 11% of the building. He also asked for how long the lease continues and was told that the lease is a multiyear lease and is up for renewal in three years. Mr. Burns expressed his concern regarding taxing the property and would like to split that portion from the building. The Assessor expressed her concerns splitting the property to exempt a portion of the property. Mr. Junge told the Board that he did find some language regarding similar cases but would like to summarize his findings and forward them to the Board by the end of the day or early next day. The Board decided to table the hearing until May 27, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., to give the Deputy City Solicitor time to provide an opinion. At that time, members of the Delaware State University Foundation would be able to call back in and participate in the continuation of the exempt hearing. On May 27, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Ms. Moultrie, Dr. Pickrum as well as Ms. Savage were available per phone for the continuation of the exempt request hearing which was tabled on May 26, 2020. Deputy Solicitor Gary Junge was not present at the time the meeting was called to order. Chairman Garfinkel proceeded to start without him. Ms. Moultrie went over the utilities and other expense information for the property she provided via email after the hearing ended the day before. Chairman Garfinkel asked who was responsible for the utility bills. Ms. Moultrie told him that the bills are paid by the Foundation, keeping the lease agreement the previous owner made with the tenant. In the agreement it also states that the tenant is responsible for 16% of the utilities which is paid by the tenant twice a year.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 6 Mr. Burns pointed out that the Foundation inherited the tenant when they where gifted the property, he explained that the Foundation did not actively pursue the coffee shop to rent space within the property for the purpose of generating income. Mr. Burns went on to make the motion to approve the exemption retroactive to 2019. Mr. Galvin seconded the motion. Deputy Solicitor Gary Junge joined the hearing asking if there were any questions regarding the information provide by Ms. Moultrie. Chairman Garfinkel was wondering if there would be a change once the Foundation is able to move into the building. Mr. Junge was concerned that once the organization moves into the building, will they split the cost 90-10% with the tenant and the coffee shop then become a for- profit enterprise, pointing out that the organization is not allowed to make a profit. Ms. Moultrie pointed out that in the lease agreement the tenant is only liable for a percentage of the utilities and that all other expenses are paid by the Foundation. Ms. Moultrie explained that under the lease agreement, they can only request payment for electric costs. They found that the sewage and gas bill have been very high and therefore the foundation has been looking into what they can do to perhaps make the tenant pay some of that. Chairman Garfinkel had a question regarding wording in a letter they received from Mr. Junge. In this letter Mr. Junge stated that in Delaware it is up to the board to determine that the entity is trying to secure a profit. He was wondering how the board would determine if the foundation is not trying to make a profit. Mr. Junge pointed out that the coffee shop was already leasing space in the building at the time the building was gifted to the foundation. The question would be what the foundation is intending to do with the profit going forward. Chairman Garfinkel pointed out that there is a motion to approve the exemption, which has been seconded and asked for the members to vote. Motion carried 3-0 (1 recusal). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 7 New Harvest Baptist Church Location Exempt Request 1462 N Little Creek Road $387,000 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. This property was purchased by the Church in August 2018. The Church is using this property for outdoor functions. They are in the process of clearing the property of unwanted items such as bushes, etc. They are in the process of building a church building on the property to be used for religious functions. As of this date there are no active building permits for this property that the Assessor’s Office could find. They are requesting that this exemption be retroactive to July 2019 billing. Pastor McBride was present for the hearing. The Assessor went over the Background and Analysis of the property. Chairman Garfinkel asked Pastor McBride to tell the board what brought him to the hearing. Pastor McBride told the Board that the Church has the 501(c) 3 status and should therefore be exempt from paying property taxes. Chairman Garfinkel asked what the church is using the property for. Pastor McBride told the Board that they are planning to build a 12,000 square foot facility on the lot. He explained that the organization has been using the lot for block parties to introduce themselves to the community and that the organization is planning on being a fully functional church within the next two years. Chairman Garfinkel asked what the time line for building the church would be. The Pastor told the Board that they are planning to start construction in the fall of 2021 or spring of 2022. The Church already has a contractor and is in the process of designing the facility but had to stop due to the pandemic. Mr. Burns asked if the organization currently had a building and was told by the Pastor that they are currently renting space in the Agricultural Museum in Dover. Mr. Burns also asked how large the current congregation is to get an understanding of how the funding is going.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 8 The Pastor explained that the church currently consists of 80 member and was 7 years old. The organization is planning on paying the church off in August, due to the generosity of the members. Mr. Burns asked the Assessor if the property has been used for anything other than the attended use. Mrs. Bundek assured the Board that the property is not used for anything else, because she passes it every day. Mr. Burns moved to make the motion to grant the exemption and it to be retroactive to 2019. Mr. Stonesifer granted the motion. Motion carried 3-0 (1 recusal). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. Capitol Baptist Church Location Exempt Request 406 Kesselring Avenue $141,700 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. This property was purchased by the Church in February 2019. This property will be used to house missionary families and ministry workers as they pass through and come off the field. There will be no charge to these families and workers. It will be a ministry of the church. They are requesting that this exemption be retroactive to July 2019 billing. Pastor Moore was present for the hearing. He explained that the home was purchased to house missionaries only. The Church does not charge any rent. Mr. Burns asked if the property was located next to the Church and was told by Pastor Moore that it is located right across the street from the church. Chairman Garfinkel asked the Assessor if the use of this property would warrant for a “Change of Use”? The Assessor explained that since the property is used for residential purposes the “Change of Use” for the home would not change. She did tell the Board that there is a Business License and that the property has also been inspected by the Fire Marshal.

By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent).

Location Exempt Request 39 S West Street $587,800 (Land and Building Value) BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office. This property is owned by the Downtown Dover Partnership Corp., they are requesting an exemption on behalf of the Inner City Cultural League Inc (which is 501(c) 3. The DDP has leased the property to Inner City Cultural League for eight years. The building has an abatement from Tax for 10 years. The property will be fully taxed in July 2025. The land is only being taxed at this time. Tina Bradbury was present for the hearing. The Assessor started the hearing by going over the Background and Analysis, she also explained that an exemption cannot be granted based on the building use or who the tenant is. The exemption must be based on the property owner. Ms. Bradbury told the Board that she started with the organization about 5 years ago and was not even aware that the property had a 10-year Tax Abatement. The Assessor told her that the organization applied for the abatement at the time they started the permit process. Ms. Bradbury told the Board that the organization is paying a lot in taxes and does not receive any revenue. She said that the organization is still in the process of fixing up the property and cannot afford to pay the property taxes. Chairman Garfinkel asked what kind of a corporation the organization is. Ms. Bradbury said that they have the 501(c) 3 as well as 501(c) 6 status. Chairman Garfinkel asked what 501 (c) 6 stands for?

Página 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 10 Mr. Junge explained that a company with the 501 (c) 6 is listed as an organization who promotes business but does not generate a profit and does not pay shares or dividends. Chairman Garfinkel asked if in Delaware only organizations with the 501 (c) 3 qualify for exemptions. Mr. Stonesifer explained that most of the properties owned by the organization are income producing properties but pointed out that the subject property is not. Mr. Junge wanted to clarify that the exempt application was filed for a tenant. Chairman Garfinkel pointed out that it was just discussed that an exempt status can only be granted to the property owner and not the tenant. Mr. Junge read through the Delaware Statute and concluded that this organization may not be an exempt entity and that the City of Dover Council may have to decide whether to grant the exemption or not. Mr. Burns asked how much rent the organization collects. Ms. Bradbury told him that they do not collect rent, nor do they have any other revenue. When asked by Mr. Burns if they own the building only, Mrs. Bradbury explained that the organization owns the land only. The Assessor told the board that due to the 10 year Abatement the land is taxed only and that once the abatement time is up the building will be taxed as well. Mr. Stonesifer explained that once the renovations of the building are done the entire property will be deeded to the Inner-City Cultural League. He also pointed out that the organization receives its funding from the City of Dover. Chairman Garfinkel said that since the organization does not have the 501 (c) 3 status they should not be exempt from property taxes and therefore made the motion to deny the exempt request. Mr. Burns asked the Assessor what she believes City Council opinion would be? The Assessor told Mr. Burns that she does not know which way Council would vote on this exempt request. Mrs. Bundek asked Ms. Bradbury if the organization has applied for exemption with Kent County.

Página 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 11 Mrs. Bradbury told the Board that she did but that the County is currently not holding any hearings due to the pandemic. Mr. Burns was concerned about stirring up any controversy if the County grants the exemption and the City does not. Mr. Junge offered to get in touch with the County’s Attorney to see if they would grant them the exemption. Mr. Burns expressed his concern over not exempting the property because it is not held by way of investment, it is receiving its funding from the City of Dover and will be deeded to a Non-Profit organization for $1 once the renovations are complete. Mr. Stonesifer explained that this organization purchases properties in Downtown Dover, renovates them and gives them away because the City of Dover, as a Municipality, is not allowed to do this. Mr. Stonesifer explained that in one way or another the City of Dover owns the property as the organization is affiliated with the City of Dover. Mr. Junge asked if the City of Dover owns the Downtown Partnership? Mr. Stonesifer explained that the Mayor appoints members for the organization that are approved by City Council. He pointed out that out of 12 board members, 5 are City officials. Mr. Junge pointed out that these are good arguments for leaning towards the exemption. Mr. Burns made the motion to approve the exemption. Mr. Galvin asked for some clarification regarding the abatement application made by Mr. Salters. He wanted to know if the abatement was on the improvements and on the land? The Assessor explained that the abatement is on the improvements only and that the organization is paying taxes on the land only. Mr. Galvin asked why Mr. Salters did not file for an abatement on the land. The Assessor explained that Mr. Salters did not own the land and could only apply for the improvements. Chairman Garfinkel went over the application for exemption pointing out that on the application it states the application is filed by the tenant.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 12 Mrs. Bradbury apologized stating that at the time she applied for the exemption she was not aware that there was an abatement on the building. Mr. Junge pointed out that by what he heard the organization is closely affiliated with the City of Dover. Mr. Stonesifer pointed out that the organization was run by city employees until a few years ago. Chairman Garfinkel expressed concern that if the Board approves this exemption, could this set a bad precedence for future exempt applications? Mr. Junge explained that there could always be unintended consequences, but that in this case the Corporation is a Non-Profit agency which is not paying income tax. If they would start to make profit they would not qualify for the exemption. He pointed out that they are funded by the City of Dover, they were staffed by the City of Dover and that the organization is doing things for Dover that the City could not do. Mr. Burns made the motion to approve the exemption on the land only. Mr. Galvin seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0 (1 recusal). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. The hearings for the exempt properties were adjourned at 10:48 a.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Board of Assessment Appeals Exemption Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JUNE 9, 2020 The Council Committee of the Whole meeting was held by video conference on June 9, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 13 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Presentation by Delaware Union – Youth Soccer Program and Potential Grant Mr. Dan Simmons and Mr. Dwayne Henry, Jr., Delaware Union, reviewed their presentation titled “Delaware Union,” located in the meeting packet. Mr. Simmons stated they were trying to come up with plans that run at little to no cost for children in Dover. Mr. Simmons noted that they understood that there is a recreational program running through the City’s Parks and Recreation Department currently and they would like to help supplement some of the programs that are currently running. Mr. Henry stated that they are trying to pool all the existing resources that are out there, the City of Dover parks program, their program, and connecting all of that together to give a good model and structure for the kids to be able to participate in. Mr. Simmons noted that part of what they are looking to do is develop a relationship with the City Parks program and help with the coaches, the players that are already existing there, and then see if there is a way that they can help add to the numbers of kids that are already participating in the City’s program. Mr. Simmons noted that they are licensed coaches through the U.S. Soccer Federation. He stated they are involved with players of all ages and even participate and run a program for special needs. Mr. Cole stated that he knew that the Union came to City Council about five years ago and that based on his day job and this job, he is open to any type of partnership and any type of sport. Mr. Cole asked what the specific ask was from the Delaware Union and noted that he knew the City’s Parks and Recreation program is very good. Mr. Simmons noted that he was the one who spoke at the Council meeting five years ago and at the time he was not 100% sure what they were looking for because it was all very new that they were being removed from Schutte Park. Mr. Simmons stated with the addition of several programs in the area, they have found their place as being able to provide coaching opportunities. He also stated for the most part, people have a lot of coaches and parents that are willing to be involved with limited knowledge and resources, Delaware Union is looking to supplement those resources and as far as the ask goes, it is just to be able to get involved. He noted it is not so much they are looking for any money or looking for fields, it is how they can get involved and help bring players into the City’s programs, find players, help the players that are in the City’s programs that may be interested in taking the next step out of recreational soccer and into a travel program or ones that may be looking for additional training. He noted they are really just hoping to introduce themselves again and open the door for communication and potential future programming.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 14 Mr. Neil provided background history of how Major League Baseball actually spurred the movement towards soccer in the country. Mr. Neil stated he saw nothing for the females listed in the presentation. He noted that becomes an extremely important part of the program, if it does not, working with disabilities is marvelous. Mr. Neil stated he thought all they are asking for is permission to meet with City Staff and to see how they may help and thought that was great. He stated he would support them talking with the recreation staff to see how they may utilize their services. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Simmons stated they do not differentiate between males and females. He noted oftentimes they put them side by side, one of the things they have learned over the years is as kids are maturing, typically it is females that mature faster, so they are actually able to keep up and push around some of the boys. He noted that they look to incorporate males, females, all ages, all athletic ability. Mr. Henry stated for both groups it is a lifelong or youth long activity that they are able to participate in. Mr. Henry noted under pathways there are three different possibilities for a kid, it is more about opening those doors and avenues. He noted they are open to offering stuff in the winter as well, but for the kids that really enjoy coming out there playing, they want to be able to offer additional programs throughout the year, give them possibilities and open doors that they might not have had before. Mr. Neil asked if there was any action that needed to be taken or if this was just the beginning of a discussion and then they can bring it back to see whatever the specific ask is. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Anderson stated that it is for consideration, that way the discussion can formally be endorsed and be opened, and then they will see what proposal comes out of it. Mr. Polce stated as a former Olympic Development Program (ODP), travel and then collegiate soccer player, he knew the process fairly well. He noted that as they stand, the Dover Parks and Recreation program has a full census. Mr. Polce asked if the long term goal of Delaware Union is to identify players that might have a higher skill set and then attempt to have those players matriculate to be part of Delaware Union, to open up further avenues for travel. Responding, Mr. Simmons stated, potentially, but he would not want to be viewed as somebody who is just coming in and trying to take players from recreation programs because there is certainly a tremendous need for recreation programs. He noted they do have many instances where kids just become bored with a certain level and they look for something else. Mr. Polce stated that Delaware Union has a few locations and facilities for training, but asked if part of the conversation is also about leveraging or maximizing resource allocation through a partnership with the City of Dover, and if the goal is to establish a greater understanding of shared space, or shared training space. Responding, Mr. Simmons stated at this time, they have been using space at the County facility on New Burton Road, for a couple of years. He noted he started out running programs for them and helping assist with programs there in exchange for space, but at this

Página 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 15 time, they are not asking for space. Mr. Simmons noted that if the City said that they would like to offer clinics and they want to run it at Schutte park or at any of the other parks, and would like Delaware Union to come do that, that would certainly be something that they would look to work with the City to do. He noted that they turned over the fields that they had on Lewis Drive because it became cost prohibitive for them to continue to maintain those fields with the new program opening up. He stated that there are four programs running in the County area right now and not having that many kids, they were not able to continue to really fund that park without raising their fees. He noted that they have two teams that they are starting out with right now, so the kids will not have to leave the Dover area. There are certainly enough kids in this area, but the struggle is just giving those kids direction and providing them a pathway and helping the families understand the benefits that they can provide. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Simmons stated that five years ago or recently, since this has been on the agenda, there have been conversations with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Simmons noted that they have tried and personally felt like the Parks and Recreation Department did not want anything to do with them. He noted it has been sluggish, as a go to try to develop a relationship, but they reached out a couple of times. Mr. Simmons noted that he did not feel that what they are trying to do has been well received and that could honestly be on their part, since they have not really laid out the pathway that they are presenting today. Mr. Simmons noted that he spoke with Mr. Sudler regarding, a U.S. soccer organization and their availability to get grants. He noted that sometimes those grants are available to certain demographics or areas of the country. He noted that was how they would be looking to hopefully fund programs for free or very little cost. Mr. Lindell stated the issue might be just prior history, maybe there might not be the trust there because there has been history where programs come in and peel kids off of a program, that up to this point they are filling the program pretty well. He noted that he has no problem with furthering discussions as far as offering more to the athletes that are living within City limits, who choose to participate in City programs. He stated that he does not want to sacrifice the hard work of the Parks and Recreation Department either and that maybe another discussion with individuals in Parks and Recreation Department or maybe with Mr. Steve Pickering might be warranted. Mr. Lindell stated that he would be happy to volunteer and sit in on the meeting just to listen as well. He stated that if it is something that can benefit both groups and help their kids at the same time, he is all for it. Mr. Anderson stated that there were a lot of changes over the last five years, which may have inhibited necessary discussions. He noted that there has been a lot of turnover in leadership and it probably was difficult to open up channels of communication when they were trying to focus on getting moved, needs assessments, and park plans, so there is new opportunity.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 16 Mr. Sudler stated that he supported this initiative and stated the Mr. Lindell was correct, they do not need to reinvent the wheel, however, nor diminish the efforts of the City and employees in that department. Mr. Sudler stated he believes that Delaware Union’s service can fill a gap that they may not be aware of. Mr. Sudler suggested that they look at some of the programs that were mentioned on the Social Action Commission of Mount Zion A.M.E. Church that was submitted in 2014. He stated they may need to also assess which programs or which one of the programs that are on both these surveys that they have officially integrated into their comprehensive plan via City Council vote in the past, which programs, activities that they could help bring to light. Col. Dix suggested they hold four or five summer clinics at three or four of the City’s parks to initiate their program and try to stimulate people, getting into soccer rather than trying to get involved with the City’s various established teams. He noted then that way they build on that foundation. Mr. Sudler moved to refer this proposal to staff for further development. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). Evaluation of Requests for Proposals - Architectural and Engineering Services for Five Recreation Projects with Costs (RFP #20-0024CM) Mr. Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of request for proposals for Architectural and Engineering Services for Five Recreation Projects with Costs (RFP #20-0024CM). Staff recommended 1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and sign an agreement with Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP of Wilmington DE/Baltimore, MD, to provide architectural and engineering services to the City of Dover for five recreation facilities; and 2. If the Committee/Council prefers the option for a design with a modular building, they can choose the Optional proposal for $20,000 deduction. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated the building's use would be for programming, an office space, and for exterior and interior bathrooms. Mr. Harline stated the direction to the engineers is to incorporate the mechanical part of the splash pad with the building. There is room for both, and they believe there is also room in that northern part of Dover Park, near the entrance off of White Oak Drive. He stated that they believe that there is also room there for a Can-Do Playground for all three of those items. Mr. Harline stated the design and public participation process will be there for any group to participate, including IMA. He noted that the IMA also approached public schools and they have an agreement, or they were working on an agreement to do programming in Towne Point.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 17 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, stated the building is not figured out yet, part of the design is to have workshops and find out all the different components they are going to be talking publicly so while they know in their mind they need bathrooms, an office space, and certain parts, they still do not have all that. She noted that is part of what this engineering is going to do, it is still not all tied together yet. Mrs. Mitchell stated they have asked in the RFP for certain components to be designed and engineered, so it is going to be based on discussions as to what they pull together in each one of those options and that has not been done yet. She noted part of the RFP was four workshops for those planning sessions. Mrs. Mitchell noted that this was put through under the emergency order as well, but they found a mistake in the action form, so she asked Mr. Harline to put it on the agenda and just bring it through committee. Mr. Sudler stated that it sounded like it is a workshop to revisit those programs and those activities that might be a good fit for constructing a facility, that would host or be able to host the programs and activities that were being desirable by the applicants or constituents in that area, or those who filled out the survey. Mr. Sudler asked Mrs. Mitchell if that was correct. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Mitchell stated she met with the IMA membership a couple of different times to discuss the building, what they would like to see in the building, and what we could afford in the building. She stated part of it is they wanted an industrial kitchen and they wanted a lot more than we were looking to put in this building and the size of the building. She stated that they came to understand that they are going to do a certain size of building. They were increasing the size so they can do more programming in it, but she told them that they would not be doing an industrial kitchen, but will be putting a building together to get the citizens input and that will be part of the workshop, but it was not going to be what they were looking for. Mr. Sudler agreed and did not think there should be an industrial kitchen in there, but that was just his personal opinion. He stated that if they tailored it towards the community and they have said they want it, then he thought it was reasonable. Mr. Sudler stated the workshops should solely focus on the data gathered so that they bring some validity to the data that the City has gathered, so they know that they have heard their voice and that their decisions are based off of what they have expressed with some flexibility. He noted that everything has to be within the parameters or scope of what the constituents and applicants wanted. Mr. Harline noted that one of the advantages of Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP was that they did the Dover Park Master Plan, so they already know about that. Mr. Anderson stated that Council endorsed the building at Dover Park at least three different times, and it is including the latest time with the master plan they voted for the option that included a building, but the school opened up some possibilities. He noted that it saved them money and allows them a lot more flexibility so that everything does not have to be done at one location.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 18 Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline stated that the travel costs were not listed, which was one of the things that they did not particularly like about the proposal, but has asked them to include all the costs. Mr. Harline also stated that they made it clear in the proposal that they were looking for, which included participation with minority or women owned business enterprises. Whiteman, Requardt & Associates, LLP was the only one who came forward with a proposal there. He stated they will be working with Desmond A Baker and Associates. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Anderson stated that the five project items that Col. Dix was referencing were from different plans and cost savings. Mr. Anderson noted all of those plans have been filled together and have been rolled into one project. Responding to Col Dix, Mr. Harline gave the following updated regarding different projects: • The splash pad, Can-Do playground, indoor classroom or restrooms would be included. • They were doing a skate park in Schutte Park, but not the linear skate facility that was proposed in one of the original versions of the Dover Park Master Plan. • They were planning to still do a community garden, but he did not think that would require engineered designs. • The 10 bench parks were still planned, but it is not part of the engineering design and that they were already working on the pond enhancement. • He did not remember wildlife enhancements, bird houses, bat boxes, and view scopes as a part of the plan, but that it was not something they would have in the engineering plans, but they are still very possible. Mr. Sudler asked if they reached out to the Rotary Club regarding the Can-Do park. He noted that the Rotary Club stated in the past they contributed to as much as $100,000 or $400,000. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Harline stated that it was reported that they pursued that option and was not successful. He noted that it is both in the budget and in discussions with Mr. Robin Eaton, Director of Parks and Recreation, it was their intention to try and seek donations. Mr. Harline stated that he did not personally make contact with the Rotarians. He stated for the RFP, they have City money for, but the for the construction he would certainly like to try and purse additional funds. Mr. Sudler asked Mr. Harline to reach back out to them and thought that they definitely need to exercise that option because it is a grassroot initiative and also gives them something to be part of and proud of. Mr. Caldwell voiced his concerns regarding the cost of the engineering plans for the total project at the end. He asked if they are keeping tabs on what it is going to involve, and how much. Responding to Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Harline stated that the prices before the committee were the ones they presented with the first version, but

Página 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 19 in the Committee Action Form it was incorrect, so those prices have not gone up. He noted that they believe that the bid by Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP is going to be the most comprehensive and maintainable and will be able to stay within those boundaries. Mr. Cole asked if there was a stipulation when the old building was torn down and if there were funds put in place. Mrs. Mitchell stated that there were funds put into the reserve account which is partially what they had been using to do these projects. Responding to Mr. Cole, Mr. Slavin stated that he recalls that it was put into the reserve and they did put it into the master planning for this site. Mr. Neil clarified that the Can-Do park was the presentation by the Wilmington Rotary and it was his understanding that the local Rotary Club did not want to participate in it at that time. He noted that does not mean they may not decide that they will want to participate now, but it came from Wilmington. Mr. Neil agreed with Mr. Sudler that they should go back to the Dover Rotary Club. Staff recommended 1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and sign an agreement with Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP of Wilmington DE/Baltimore, MD, to provide architectural and engineering services to the City of Dover for five recreation facilities; and 2. If the Committee/Council prefers the option for a design with a modular building, they can choose the Optional proposal for $20,000 deduction. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of Staff’s recommendation to: 1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and sign an agreement with Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP of Wilmington DE/Baltimore, MD, to provide architectural and engineering services to the City of Dover for five recreation facilities; and 2. If the Committee/Council prefers the option for a design with a modular building, they can choose the Optional proposal for $20,000 deduction. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Annual Engineering Consultant's Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2019 Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, presented the Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2019. Staff recommended acceptance of the report. Mr. Neil moved to recommend acceptance of the report, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). The motion for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting was unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Downtown Dover Partnership Parking Solutions Ms. Diane Laird, Executive Director of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), Mr. Chris Robocker, DDP Parking Committee, and Mr. Jed Hatfield, President of Colonial Parking Inc., reviewed the background information for the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Parking Solutions. The Partnership recommended to proceed with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to design and implement a comprehensive parking solution.

Página 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 21 Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hatfield stated that they were thinking there will probably be about half a dozen people dedicated to the downtown Dover Program. He noted until they really develop the details of the program they will not know what the full staffing looks like, but that is their expectation that would be the right number to manage the on-street parking which is somewhere around 250 spaces give or take, as well as the off-street parking lots that are currently managed by the Partnership. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hatfield stated that he did not know percentages off the top of his head regarding the diversity within Colonial Parking, Inc., but that they have a very diverse workforce in Wilmington. He noted that many of them, unfortunately, are furloughed right now because of what COVID has done to the parking market in Wilmington, Delaware. He noted that they have a lot of diversity in ethnicity, but he did not know diversity in religion. Mr. Anderson stated that they had a good comprehensive solution with some online options, but people are mobile when they are parking. He encouraged Mr. Hatfield to think about an app. Mr. Hatfield stated that from Colonial Parking's perspective, they have worked with a variety of apps. He noted that there are some that help a person find a place to park and there is one in particular, SpotHero, that they have done some work with. He noted that there are other apps that actually are their payment methods Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hatfield stated that they would be managing the permits too. He noted that they have outlined it in their response to the RFP that they would be managing the off-street parking lots, as well as the on-street parking. Part of the management of the off-street parking lots would be managing the monthly parkers. Mr. Hatfield stated they would manage those permits a little differently than is currently being done, in that they would register monthly parkers. They would go into their database and customer care system, and then they would just continue to get billed monthly for as long as they wanted to continue to park in their selected facility. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hatfield stated that they do have some electric vehicle charging facilities in some of their parking facilities in Wilmington. Mr. Hatfield stated his expectation is during the development of the downtown parking program, they would evaluate the demand for electric vehicle charging and if there is demand for it, then yes, they would be prepared to install and maintain that equipment as long as there is a demand for it to use. Mr. Neil expressed his concerns regarding seniors who do not have the apps. He asked with the smart parking, is there going to be places for seniors to be able to come in and use real U.S. money or a credit card if they wish. He noted that often he cannot find parking, but he can in the E-ZPass lots and that the solution that they have presented to them is the best solution because they will have those spots that can be open and they can still satisfy what E-ZPass needs in order to stay in the

Página 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 22 downtown area. Mr. Neil noted that he was very impressed with this program. He noted that he expects that there is one thing that they will have to commit with and that they are going to be using City streets for this process and that it is going to be a long term process so they can get their money back in what they are going to invest in them. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Hatfield stated that yes, effectively, Colonial would take control to the extent that they would be retained by the Downtown Dover Partnership to manage those parking assets. He noted that really the control would be moving from the City to the Partnership and then Colonial Parking would be engaged by the Partnership. Mr. Hatfield stated that they would not be directly in control and authorized, but rather they would be working on behalf of the Partnership to manage the parking. Mr. Lindell stated that it is a big decision to make because of the fact that once they turn over control of streets and such, Council will be held to the decisions that are made on those streets and they are giving up some of that accountability. Mr. Lindell asked if the Dover Police Department has any response or have they been approached by the plan or with the plan. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Ms. Laird stated that the solution is yet to be developed and they encourage all Council members and members of the public to respond. She noted that she has had a discussion with the Police Chief and invited him to become a part of the process. She invited everyone to be a part of the solution so that nobody is surprised about what the final design looks like. Mr. Lindell stated last year around this time they were talking about a parking garage and originally when they talked about it they were talking about a space problem, but now they are not talking about a space problem. He stated that there are some concerns from his constituents regarding how this plan is different from the parking garage and because they put money into different things before. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Ms. Laird stated that this is an interim solution to allow them to better assess and manage the parking opportunities that they have without investing in a much more complex and expensive solutions of the parking garage. She noted that it allows time to determine the need and that they can grow into and make excellent use of whatever it is they have most efficiently. She noted that they can recognize when it is truly time to go forward with a garage and by that time, it is very possible that they will have a good amount of money that they can put toward that. Mr. Hatfield noted that the parking study that was done a few years ago concluded that there was adequate parking and where it missed the mark. He noted that the areas where there was a lot of vacant parking available were the less desirable locations and not driving much demand. The other thing that the study neglected to point out was while there was excess parking space, it was less than 200 parking spaces, so one big employer coming to town and that excess capacity would be gone quickly.

Página 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 23 Mr. Hatfield noted that the solution that they have worked with the Partnership to try and develop is trying to do the best of both worlds, manage the current assets that they have to the best of their capacity and start generating some revenue that can then be put towards a future structure at some point down the path. Mr. Lindell asked Mr. Hatfield if he had experience in the other municipalities that they do business with where they have had a situation where they have taken over and made the decisions and some of those decisions have not worked out. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr.Hatfield stated what they have proposed and have been working with the Partnership is really a collaboration approach. Mr. Hatfield stated what they have suggested is not that type of model, rather that they come in as a manager, a partner with the City and the Partnership to develop this program. He noted if implemented, they will be putting some cash in, in the form of purchasing the equipment that is needed to get the system going and based on their number, they will be able to get repaid for that within five years and after a fee for Colonial Parking, the net revenue is really accruing to the benefit of the Partnership, not the Colonial Parking. He noted that because they are there as a manager and those funds really are to the benefit of the Partnership, it is really the Partnership and the City that will be driving how the program works and what it does. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager stated the parking permit money goes to the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). Ms. Laird noted that is part of the discussion in the solution, but currently that is the way it is set up. Mr. Hatfield noted that the parking fine revenue remains with the City. Mr. Hatfield noted that under this arrangement it would go to the benefit of the DDP as well, Colonial Parking would manage the process, but it would still be DDP funds. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Mitchell stated that is only in the DDP area where this is controlled, any traffic violations or parking violations outside of that area would come directly to the City. Mr. Hatfield noted that they are contemplating it, would be within the footprint of the downtown as outlined in the exhibit of the MOU. He noted they would only be doing enforcement on parking regulation, not traffic violations or moving enforcement. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approving continuation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) discussion and be brought back to Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously approved. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Neil stated that the parking solutions would free up the two parking enforcement officers for other duties to be assigned by the Chief. He noted that no action was required until the Downtown Dover Partnership brings the Memorandum of Understanding forward for approval by City Council. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 24 FY 2020 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program (CESF) - Joint Grant Submittal with Kent County Mr. Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the FY 2020 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program (CESF) - Joint Grant Submittal with Kent County. Staff recommended approval of the grant project as requested. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Harline stated that there are other grants being sought but this does not cover all the costs for the police department. He noted that this grant does allow for them to recover the salary that was the emergency pay for those first couple of weeks and so far as they can identify it, no other grant would. Mr. Harline stated that it is possible this does not all have to go towards law enforcement, even though it is a Department of Justice assistance grant, but they believe that the emergency pay during that first two weeks is just what they paid the police department this money. He stated some of the supplies and other overtime expenses that are eligible for some of the other grants are going to be applied for. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline stated that there are not any identified circumstances that this grant would turn into a loan. He noted that it is a reimbursement grant. These expenses have already been incurred by the City. Mr. Harline verified that it is all going to go to the police department. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the grant project as requested, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Sudler and Taylor absent). City Manager Search Council President Hare stated, regarding the City Manager Search, that Council needed to decide how they want to do it. He stated he thought a headhunter would be the easiest way to do it since they are up against the time frame. Mr. Slavin stated they want to promote a diverse pool of candidates in this and they want to make sure that they make every effort to attract as diverse a pool of candidates. He noted they also want complete transparency in this and noted that it would put in-house staff in an awkward position for them to run the search for a city manager whom they might then report to. He stated this is a moment where they can keep an arm's length distance from the proceedings as far as how it is advertised and how the candidates are ranked and scored prior to coming to them. Mr. Slavin stated then on the interview committee, they can make the decision on who is involved in the interview and what the questions are. He noted that he envisioned this being a long process and could see two and three rounds of interviews, including multiple

Página 25

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 25 panels within some of those rounds, because they want to get a broad response from the workforce as well as their constituents. Mr. Sudler stated he shared the same sentiment and supports what Mr. Slavin has brought forth and hope that they can achieve that. Mr. Sudler also stated he agreed with Mr. Hare that they should have a headhunter to conduct at least the first phase of receiving some costly candidate selection. Mr. Anderson stated he concurred with what the other three councilmen have said and noted that he liked an in-house process, but in his view, they are five months behind on that. Mr. Neil stated he concurred that they should have a headhunter, but even that process makes it a long process because not everybody that is brought to their attention is really a good candidate. He stated the sooner, the better, and while they still have an outstanding city manager here to kind of guide them a little bit or to guide whatever the process is. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, stated that in the document that was provided for the general description, the text that is in red, were amendments from the previous job description. Mr. Contant stated he thought the job description looks good and completely agrees with moving forward with a headhunter to get this process rolling. He noted that for the sake of transparency using a third party is probably the best route to go, especially in light of historic events with the City of Dover. Mr. Contant moved to recommend acceptance of the use of a headhunter, seconded by Mr. Taylor. Mr. Sudler asked if within the job description, did they specify the type of culture that the municipality is looking to reflect in the workforce, which will pretty much pinpoint the kind of leadership style and the behavior in what they are looking for. Mr. Lindell noted that they need to be very transparent and that there needs to be some community involvement and it needs to be diverse as well. Mr. Lindell stated if they are agreeing on going for a so-called headhunter, a lot of these other issues will get flushed out once they get that person on board. Mr. Anderson stated he was not comfortable with approving the job description right now, and liked Mr. Lindell’s proposal. Mr. Anderson stated enforcing municipal ordinances has never been a city manager thing. He noted that the city manager has no one to enforce ordinances because the police are under the Mayor and code enforcement is under the Director of Planning and Code Enforcement. Mr. Anderson stated that particular provision was not there before, and it probably should not be there now, because there is no mechanism for a city manager to do that. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hare stated that there are other ordinances other than planning and the police department. He noted that when they decide on a firm to bring in to talk to, they will give Council some guidance too. Mr. Hare stated they will tell them what are looking for, they are experienced in all this, and probably might even know

Página 26

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 26 a little bit more about it than they do. Mr. Anderson stated that he liked the rest of the amendment, that was the only one he had a concern with, because of the unique design of the city manager's office. Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, stated if Council is going to be using an executive recruiting firm, when she did call them to get a generalized price for their services, they shared that they would need to understand what their needs were. She noted to just make sure they understand what they want the recruiting firm to do for them. Mr. Sudler asked if there would be a component of the job description or analysis that allows for City Council to give an in-depth example, or state what they are looking for, being that the city manager serves at the pleasure of City Council. He noted that he knew that there are city manager daily duties and administrative duties, but part of that individual's duties is also to report to City Council. He noted that they need to have a clearer description of what that looks like. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hare stated that he understood what Mr. Sudler was saying, but the city manager might report to Council, but Council does not run the City. He noted that is why they hire a city manager. Mr. Neil stated he agreed with Mr. Hare. Mr. Lindell suggested they should act on getting an RFP sent out to enlist a consultant/head hunter, to help them with the recruiting. He noted that in the meantime, they can start finessing the job description. Then once they get someone on board, a lot of these other issues they can address in the whole process and have some guidance and go in the right direction. Mr. Contant agreed with Mr. Lindell and stated that at this point their action items should be that they recommend that Human Resources (HR) move forward with preparing a request for proposals (RFP) and bring them back. He noted that it looked like HR already has contacts with a few different firms and allow them to make the decision on which firm they think would best fulfill the need, at the same time, Council can develop the job description further that the firm will base their work off of. Mr. Sudler, referring back to the performance evaluation instrument that they use every year to evaluate the city manager, he stated a lot of times he is very uncomfortable trying to fill that out fully with the questions it asks. He noted in his view, they do not have any real written expectations, other than at the end of the year or the quarter or when they evaluate, to say whether or not they are doing these things. Mr. Sudler stated that it needs to be clear what City Council's expectations are to be incorporated into that instrument. He noted that he believes they need to have a stronger role and that maybe they need to have a workshop on what that looks like and what that entails. Mr. Cole asked if an RFP will take away time. He noted that they want somebody up and running and did not want to cut anybody short. He noted that they want all

Página 27

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 27 the best candidates, but at the same time they are getting short on time. Mrs. Hawkins stated that she is not an RFP expert. She noted that she has already called a couple of firms and they have indicated that their costs would probably be under $25,000. She stated she was not sure if she needed to issue an RFP or would be able to call several firms, get quotes from them and present that to Council. Mrs. Hawkins noted that if Council asked her to do an RFP, she gave an estimate of at least six to eight weeks. Mr. Lindell asked if it is under $25,000, what would they get as far as service is concerned. He stated that he thought they would need something for what is it going to cost them if they want to do this, or if they want the full service, as far as from start to finish, with them taking an active role in the process. Mrs. Hawkins stated with an RFP they would need to spell out exactly what services they want. Mr. Neil stated that what they were looking for tonight would be to agree on choosing a consultant/head hunter or in-house and then if they will pay travel expenses, then the selection of the interview committee and the scoring rubric. He stated that the review of the job or even the process, can wait, because it is not going to happen right away. He stated that he would put a limit on it when the RFP goes out and how long they take which should not take more than two weeks to come back with some sort of an offer. Mr. Hare he agreed with Mr. Neil, but also with Ms. Hawkins. He stated he had confidence in Mrs. Hawkins. Mr. Hare stated that he thought she could reach out to however many firms she knows that are out there, and just make that phone call and ask what they are going to charge and give them what Council is looking for and request a reply within 48 hours and most of them will do that. He noted that way, it will cut it down to less than two weeks. He stated to let Ms. Hawkins do her job, and come back to Council with the companies she contacted and her recommendation. He noted that she will be able to explain it to them and that this is not the hiring process. Responding to Mrs. Hawkins, Mr. Hare stated Council is asking to find an executive firm to basically post the positions, find the candidates and do a first screening of the candidates and then perhaps recommend whatever the committee is seeking, and then the committee takes it from there. Mrs. Hawkins stated that they have done some interviews through this route before, and when it comes to the travel expense, any executive firm will tell Council that they must be paying for their travel. It is just industry standard to pay for travel. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hare stated that Mrs. Hawkins is initially bringing information for the firms back to Council as a whole so they can see which firm they want to use. Mr. Hare stated that they can go over the what criteria they are using for the selection committee.

Página 28

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 28 Mr. Hare moved to recommend that they request Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Director of Human Resources to proceed with contacting the head hunters and search firms to get the information to bring back to City Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Director of Human Resources, advised that the price for GovHRusa under Summary of Proposals provided should be changed from $15,000 to $15,500. She also reviewed the information that was obtained from the head hunters. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Hawkins advised that she did not check references. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Hawkins stated that Mercer, which is located in the Ocean City area, provided three references. One reference is in Annapolis, Maryland; one is in Poolesville, Maryland; and the other one is the City of Westminster, Maryland. She noted that GovHR USA and Colin Baenziger and Associates also provided references. Mrs. Hawkins noted that both GovHR USA and Colin Baenziger and Associates have extensive backgrounds in recruiting. Mercer indicated that he has done eight or nine personal recruitments and the other firms are averaging anywhere from nine to 14 recruitments a year. Mrs. Hawkins stated that if Council was interested in doing the limited scope, she would recommend Mercer because it was priced at $4,000 plus advertising and travel and he is located on the eastern shore. She advised that if they wanted to do the full scope, all of the proposals were comprehensive and their costs were relatively the same, with Colin Baenziger and Associates being slightly higher. Mrs. Hawkins recommended either GovHR USA or Mercer, noting that she was leaning more toward GovHR USA. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Hawkins advised that she did not know if any of the consultant agencies had experience with recruiting senior transformational leaders; however, she would check on it. With regard to the price difference for virtual recruitment for GovHR USA, Mr. Sudler asked if they provided a cost breakdown for the interaction and why there was a $6,000 difference. Responding, Mrs. Hawkins advised that it is labor-intense for them to call each viable candidate and have a conversation with them. Mr. Sudler requested Mrs. Hawkins to have them provide a labor breakdown for the $15,000 component of their bid. Mr. Neil suggested checking their references to see who has been effective before they make the final decision. Mr. Sudler stated that his biggest concern is in regard to the city looking at moving towards a different culture for their workforce and for their senior leaders to demonstrate for their management and workforce to follow. He suggested that they look at how much knowledge they have in regard to the leadership style that the City is looking to adopt. Mrs. Hawkins advised that all of the proposals include being able to do a Zoom or Webex meeting to find out exactly what the City of Dover is recruiting for.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 29 Mr. Cole asked if the recommendation was being based on the budgetary issue or the time limit. Mr. Slavin reminded everyone that they made the first part of this decision well over a year ago when they created the position of assistant city manager so that one day when they had to fill the city manager's position, they did not have to panic and create an artificial timeline. He suggested having an interim city manager during this process so that the timeline is not dependent upon trying to fill the position on a date, but is dependent on building confidence in their decision and building consensus in Council and in the community, because it is very important that this next city manager have an understanding of the community and the community have an understanding of him or her. Mr. Lindell stated that he agreed with Mr. Slavin, noting that removing the time constraint would allow them some flexibility. He added that regardless of who they hire, the process will require a great deal of the Council members’ time discussing with the consultant what they are looking for in an applicant. Mr. Slavin moved to request Mrs. Hawkins to put together a timeline of what a thorough, conscientious search for a city manager would entail, including what tasks it would entail and what the roughed in time periods are for those tasks, so that they can create a calendar and then begin the process of populating each of those tasks. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler. Mr. Hare stated that Council also had the option of putting the timeline together and having Mrs. Hawkins be the headhunter. Mr. Lindell responded that they are hiring the CEO of the city and they should take their time and they should not ask a subordinate employee to conduct the search for their potential boss. Mrs. Hawkins advised that GovHR USA provided a Gantt chart with their proposal that spelled out how long it will take for each phase of the recruitment. She noted that she thought the contractors that would be able to put that timeline together better than she would. The motion to request Mrs. Hawkins to put together a timeline of what a thorough, conscientious search for a city manager would entail, including what tasks it would entail and what the roughed in time periods are for those tasks, so that they can create a calendar and then begin the process of populating each of those tasks was unanimously carried. Review of the COVID19 Operating Procedures Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed a document titled COVID-19/Coronavirus Procedure Manual - Beginning March 2020. Mr. Neil complimented Mrs. Mitchell and the entire Staff for what they have done. Mrs. Mitchell also thanked Staff. She noted that it has been very stressful for Staff and that they are holding up pretty good. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Content and unanimously carried.

FIRST (1ST) DISTRICT COUNCIL VACANCY - TERM TO EXPIRE MAY 10, 2021 Article II - Mayor and Council, Section 13 - Vacancies; Forfeiture of Office; Filling of Vacancies of the City Charter requires that a Special Election be held to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Councilman Tanner Wm. Polce since the vacancy is in excess of six (6) months in duration. This position is for the First (1st) District City Council Seat with a term that expires May 10, 2021. In his opinion dated June 11, 2020, City Solicitor Rodriguez advised that he believes this section of the City's Charter dealing with filling the vacancy is not mandatory in light of the pandemic emergency and that Council may resolve to depart from this provision of the Charter in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff recommended the following dates, should Council choose to proceed with holding a Special Election: Date of Election - Tuesday, August 18, 2020; Filing Petitions - Tuesday, June 23, 2020 through Friday, July 17, 2020 at 4:30 p.m.; Voter Registration Close - Saturday, July 25, 2020; and the Oath of Office - Special City Council Meeting of Thursday, August 27, 2020.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 32 By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Lindell, Council, by a unanimous roll call vote, adopted Ordinance #2020-08, as follows: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: WHEREAS, the 2019/2020 fiscal year property tax rate for the City of Dover is $.44 (forty-four cents) per hundred of assessed value and the Tax Assessor reported that the total assessed value of property as of December 31, 2019 was $3,272,353,200, including the April 2020 supplemental billings (2020 Assessed Value); and WHEREAS, upon completion of the re-evaluation completed in 2020, the Tax Assessor is reporting the total assessed value in 2020/2021 to be $3,581,763,900; and WHEREAS, Delaware State Law: 22 Delaware Code Section 1105 (b) requires municipalities to calculate a "rolled-back" tax rate so as to provide the same tax revenue as was levied during the prior fiscal year and to state the percent, if any, by which the property tax rate to be levied exceeds the "rolled-back" property tax rate. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That the City of Dover "rolled-back" tax rate is $.4050 per hundred of assessed value, and the 2020/2021 tax rate is to be set at $.4050 per hundred of taxable assessed value (estimated at $3,507,391,500), the decrease in the rolled-back tax rate being 7.95%. ADOPTED: JUNE 22, 2020 FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2020-09 - 2020/2021 CITY OF DOVER BUDGET ORDINANCES The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of June 8, 2020. Council President Hare reminded members of the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government.” Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that the Final Reading of the ordinance has been changed from the First Reading by reducing the budget balance and adding $83,300 to the police department budget for training and consultant services needed to bring in expert trainers for in-house training. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she had not had a chance to review the actual revenue for Municipal Street Aid. Mr. Anderson stated that he understood that the numbers were going to be the same as last year and if that were the case, he suggested a budget amendment to

Página 33

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 33 ensure that they have money for a local portion for body cameras, which should be mostly funded by a grant. Mrs. Mitchell advised that she would recommend waiting for the final Municipal Street Aid numbers before doing an amendment. She also recommended discussing body cameras as a separate item outside of the budget discussion. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell advised that she had not heard anything about the State providing local municipalities grants for body cameras. She noted that she had heard that some of the money would be coming from a federal program through the legislature. Mr. Sudler stated that, although he did not disagree with in-house training for the police department, he was concerned with how they arrived at $83,300 for training and what training would be provided. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that when Chief Thomas Johnson gave his press conference recently he outline his plan to turn things around, which included training, and she felt that he needed the funds to back up his plan. She noted that she sat down with the Chief to discuss the details and the cost. Mrs. Mitchell explained that it would have been a part of the normal budgeting process that the departments follow each year. Mr. Sudler suggested that because they have been asking about the body cameras for over four years, and with the current global climate, that the body cameras would be a great step to show that they are moving forward and putting things in place. He stated that he thought the community would appreciate it. Mayor Christiansen concurred with the proposal for body cameras and advised that he believed that a statewide purchase of body cameras would be accomplished through an initiative by the Attorney General's Office and the Governor's Office. Chief Johnson advised that, under stress and in critical moments, studies show that police officers’ behaviors revert back to their training while simultaneously considering a myriad of factors such as the overall situation, the backdrop, the environment, time, and distance. He noted that one of the things that is not a part of muscle memory, yet, is the knowledge to the degree that is now necessary about body positioning, about pressure, about the responses physiologically that occur when two human beings are involved in a physical struggle. Chief Johnson stated that they are not factoring in the overall health of the suspect or the subject, because it is not always a situation where someone has committed a crime, because they have not been trained to do a quick health assessment. He suggested that the biggest professional failure that occurred in Minneapolis was the total lack of awareness of that person's physical demise underneath the use of force being applied by those officers. Chief Johnson advised that his goal was to find training from someone that truly understands what happens anatomically and physiologically in those critical moments to provide valid and current education on the best known information. He stated that he would then make it a required department-wide, direct delivery training, that is reinforced on a regular schedule. Chief Johnson stated that he would do his best to effectively manage that training and if there was money left when they have accomplished the training it will be returned back at the end of the budget year. He emphasized that they would not just use all of it just because it was allotted to them and that he would make sure that there is quality and value attached to every training dollar and that it will be documented for Council’s review.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 34 Mr. Polce stated that there is clear evidence that shows the efficacy of body cameras. He noted that he was hopeful that, in the coming months, the State, with the help of the Attorney General's Office, and the Criminal Justice Council can work with the municipalities across the state to really fully deploy this evidence-based kind of program. Mr. Polce advised that if they were looking at evidence based programs that demonstrate efficacy, Chief Johnson has outlined a program that would reach that goal. By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Cole, Council, by roll call vote of seven yes (Anderson, Neil, Cole, Polce, Taylor, Lindell, and Hare) and two no (Sudler and Slavin), Council adopted Ordinance #2020-09 (Exhibit #1). PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 2020-10/PRESENTATION - TANNER WM. POLCE The City Clerk read Resolution No. 2020-10 into the record, as follows: WHEREAS, on May 28, 2017, Tanner Wm. Polce was sworn into office as Councilman of the First District and the youngest member to be elected to serve on City Council. He served with distinction until July 1, 2020. During his three years of service on City Council, Tanner Wm. Polce served on the City/County Committee, the Delaware Center for Health Innovation Dover/Smyrna Healthy Neighborhoods, and the Downtown Dover Partnership Board of Directors; and WHEREAS, Tanner Wm. Polce's keen intellect, accumulated experience, and enthusiasm were great assets to the City as he provided guidance on the issues he was passionate about, such as technology, mental health, substance use disorder, and the needs of the underprivileged. Mr. Polce built a bridge between his work with City Council and his work as policy advisor at the State, and his extensive knowledge of government has provided an invaluable perspective to members of City Council; and WHEREAS, Mr. Polce's attention to details, verbal eloquence, and commitment to all of the citizens have elevated the level of discourse and fostered the respect of his colleagues, constituents, and City staff, and have made him a true Dover City Councilman. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council recognize that Tanner Wm. Polce will be sorely missed and express their sincere appreciation to him and his family for the dedicated years of service and personal sacrifices made on behalf of the City of Dover, and wish him and his family success in all future endeavors. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council hereby direct the City Clerk to make this resolution a part of the permanent records of the City of Dover as a lasting symbol of appreciation and gratitude. ADOPTED: JUNE 22, 2020 On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the Resolution, a key to the City, and Dover Cup in appreciation for the years and service provided by Mr. Polce.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 35 Mr. Anderson stated that they were definitely going to miss Mr. Polce’s contribution and requested that he keep corresponding with them on some of the important issues. He stated that his contribution had been tremendous and his service exemplary and he thanked Mr. Polce for all that he has done for the City. Mr. Sudler concurred. Mr. Slavin thanked Mr. Polce for his service, noting that as the youngest serving member of City Council he has set the standard for not only inviting more younger people to Council, but also for the zeal and the sincerity that he brought to the position. Mr. Lindell stated that he had enjoyed working with Councilman Polce on a variety of issues in the First District and that he will miss his steadfastness and being able to contact him on issues and being able to intelligently discuss some of the issues. He noted that he would miss the comradery that they had as well as his sense of humor. Mr. Taylor thanked Mr. Polce for his professionalism and the fact that he tried to do everything in excellence. Mr. Hare thanked Mr. Polce for his service to the City and to the Delaware Military Support Organization Board helping them to raise funds to support the active duty military. Mr. Polce thanked each and every member of Council and noted that it has been a time of reflection for him in making this decision. He advised that he sought counsel with his close support network, his wife, his family, and his higher power and ultimately this transition is not goodbye, but simply, he will be working with them from a distance. Mr. Polce stated that the City of Dover has a special place in his heart, noting that he came here when he was 18 years old as an athletic, college bound kid to Wesley College and through the years, the community has absolutely embraced him through some very difficult times. Mrs. Mitchell thanked Mr. Polce for his service and dedication to the City, as well as the support he has shown for City Staff. She stated that he is leaving with a lot of people that love him. Mr. Neil moved for adoption of Resolution No. 2020-10, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS None. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Slavin read the following statement: “Thank you, council President. I have a brief statement that I'd like to read. I apologize for the length of it, but I want to make sure my words were heard. A few moments ago, I voted against the proposed fiscal '21 budget and I did not do so lightly. The budget that was presented to us was exactly what we asked for. It's fiscally responsible, it holds the line on taxes, it addresses inequities and rate paying for utilities.

Página 36

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 36 And I commend Assistant City Manager, Matt Harline and City Manager, Donna Mitchell, and all the Department Heads for their assistance in giving Council exactly what we asked for. Since we began the process of crafting the budget however, our world has changed and more importantly, Dover is on the wave of a real change. That change is not being driven by city government. That change is being driven by a new generation of voices. My no vote on the budget is to acknowledge those voices and to ensure that we continue the dialogue about race and equity in Dover. We have seen and heard the demonstrations that now have been going on in our city for the past month, and in all likelihood will continue. The voices are clear and the message is simple, "Black lives matter." We all need to say those words publicly, without qualification, "Black lives matter." I have lived a life of white privilege. In my youth, I said and did things that were racist. There's no easy explanation nor any excuse for me to make. I can say with all sincerity, that the only way for me to describe those times in my life is that I was godless. To this day, I remain embarrassed and anguished over those actions and I pray for forgiveness, but I am godless no more. I've worked hard to eliminate racism and inequity in my personal life and in our society. But I can honestly stand before you and say that my efforts over the past 14 years on Council quite simply were not good enough, I've failed. But I'm not done yet, I announced previously that I would not seek reelection to council in 2021. So to the doubters, as I suggest some actions that we can take as a city to combat racism and inequity, I am not pandering to would-be voters. I stand by my decision not to seek reelection next year. Dover is primed for a new generation of leaders. We have heard the voices of that generation in our streets, and now we must show them that we are listening. So to that end, I need your help. We can begin a process, change a process by putting simply one foot in front of the other and taking steps together. Some of these steps will be big steps, some will be small, some will be painful, all should be taken. Chief Johnson and Mayor Christiansen, I applaud your efforts over the last weeks as we address these issues, I need your help. More than six months ago, we had a presentation from the consulting firm that conducted a study on diversity and inclusion for the city of Dover. They cited that in their findings, our police department was facing challenges in attracting, hiring, and retaining minority officers. We looked at the data, we looked at the processes, we discussed potential problems, and we talked about ways to address that. We also looked at a single photographic image. That image was on the front page of our website for the city of Dover Police Department. The consultants strongly suggested that we look at that image that we project to the community and that perhaps, that is one of the causes of our challenge. Today, many months later, that image remains on the front page. It is an image in my opinion, that is not reflective of our city and Chief Johnson and Mayor Christiansen, let's take this small step together, and I would ask that we have that image taken down immediately. Councilman Taylor, I need your help. The time has come in our

Página 37

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 37 city for citizens to have a voice in how we maintain a safe community. There are many models across our country for how citizens are empowered with a voice on how a community is policed. We need to have that dialogue and our citizens need to have that voice. And I was going to ask you to put this on your next agenda, but you already did it because you anticipated it, and I appreciate you doing that. And I'm asking for your help and ensuring that that's an inclusive and ongoing dialogue that we have with the citizens. Councilman Anderson, Councilman Sudler and Mayor Christiansen. I need your help. When our good friend, Councilman Wallace Dixon passed away, I had the honor of sitting with Bishop Holsey at his service. Bishop Holsey and I talked about the long history of black churches in Dover. And he cited the work of Bishop LT Blackshear in not only running church, but in providing so much for the black community in Dover. Councilman Sudler, Mayor Christiansen and I then spoke separately about proposing the renaming of the New Street playground in honor of Bishop Blackshear. Councilman Sudler, I'm asking you to consider being a prime sponsor on that renaming of that park. And Councilman Anderson, I'm asking you to co-sponsor and ask you to place that item on your next agenda for the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee. And Mayor Christiansen, I'm asking you to continue your support because I know you were very appreciative of that idea. We have heard so many good ideas that quite frankly, we have passed on as a city in recent years. Thanks to Councilman Polce, we were offered funding to embed social workers with our police as is being done in other parts of the country, other parts of Delaware and in other parts of Kent County. We were politely turned down by the police department. Chief Johnson, I would politely ask that we have that discussion again. What I've heard in the protests and the new voices that are being heard and listened to is a simple message: the status quo will no longer suffice in how we all maintain a safe community. We know that we cannot arrest our way out of the opioid crisis. We cannot arrest our way out of the challenge of homelessness. We know we cannot arrest our way out of the issue of poverty. But we can turn the corner, we can take these steps, small and big together, and most importantly, we can listen. Thank you.” Mr. Neil wished Mr. Hare a happy birthday on July 6th. Mr. Taylor reminded the citizens of Dover to tune in the following night at 6:00 p.m. for the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting which will feature Chief Johnson who will again, illustrate some of the points that he's trying to bring forward. He noted that a discussion would take place as a direct result. Mr. Anderson thanked everyone for a great budget discussion and noted that one of the reasons he supported the budget was because of the amount of money added. He stated that they have flexibility and that where the money actually goes would be determined more the following night. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought there were some good possibilities for grants, and he wants to

Página 38

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 22, 2020 PAGE 38 see that pursued. He advised that if they have trouble with those grants, he would definitely support working on a supplemental budget to ensure that they get body cameras this year, or at least moving this year. Mr. Anderson also wished the United States of America a happy birthday and Independence Day. Mr. Sudler stated that he would assist Councilman Slavin and that it meant a lot to him to hear someone that does not look like him to bring forth their authentic self, what their spirit is saying to them. He noted that what Mr. Slavin said meant a lot, not just to him, but to a lot of other people of color, and he appreciates that he had the courage, the honesty, the leadership, and also just everything it takes to make this world a much better place. Mr. Sudler stated that the humanity that Mr. Slavin had just shown and demonstrated to him was beyond words and he thanked him for having the courage to be the leader that he had been and is still continuing to be right now. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:07 p.m. TRACI A.
