AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson and
unanimously carried.
Program Presentation - First State Community Action Agency
Mr. Charles Kistler, Program Manager, First State Community Action Agency (FSCAA), advised
members that FSCAA is a non-profit organization and is the only Community Action Partnership
(CAP) agency in the State of Delaware. He reviewed a presentation entitled “City of Dover Council
Briefing - June 13, 2016,” stating that FSCAA has more than 20 programs. Referring to Page 2 of
the presentation, Mr. Kistler reviewed the components of the organization’s Healthy Home, Energy
Efficiency, Lead Safe, and People Centric (H.E.L.P.) Program, as follows:
1) Department of Public Health (DPH) Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction
(DeLead) Program - Mr. Kistler explained that FSCAA’s DeLead program
was started in seven (7) targeted zip codes, noting that the two (2) largest zip
codes were in the City of Dover, which has some of the oldest housing stock
in the State. Mr. Kistler stated that 250 homes were identified as positive for
lead, and remediation and abatement was completed, although this was a
nominal scratch of the surface. He indicated that City management had been
very supportive of this process and had provided documentation on nearly
5,000 homes in the City that were built before 1978. Mr. Kistler explained
that 160 Healthy Home Repairs were completed for issues such as pest
infestation and mold.
2) Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Summer Cooling
Assistance Program (SCAP) - Mr. Kistler advised that FSCAA was in the
first year of a five (5) year, Statewide program for SCAP, and City
management had been very supportive in getting the exposure needed. He

noted that, due to extreme temperatures, many more people need air
conditioners. Mr. Kistler explained that Energy Conservation Kits (EcoKits)
include LED light bulbs, aerators, low-flow shower heads, night lights, door
sweeps, and first aid kits.
3) Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Replace Repair
Heaters and Conserve Energy (RRHACE) Program - Mr. Kistler stated that
the RRHACE Statewide program started last year and is a five (5) year
program that provides for repair and replacement of heaters. He noted that
before September 30, 2016, 450 heaters would be repaired or replaced.
Mr. Kistler indicated that FSCAA would be working with the City’s code
enforcement and property development staff to identify people with no heat.
4) Today’s Reinvestment Around Industry Needs (TRAIN) Program -
Mr. Kistler stated that FSCAA had submitted a training plan to the
Department of Labor for approval. This program would allow FSCAA to go
into communities, identify those who would be eligible for training through
community leaders, bring those individuals through a vocational technology
program, and put them into jobs in their own neighborhoods, which FSCAA
has termed “Communities of Promise.” Mr. Kistler stated that they had asked
the City of Dover to write a letter of support for this program, and if FSCAA
reaches the implementation phase of this large initiative, they will start to
recruit individuals to help their own communities.
Mr. Kistler, referring to page 2 of the FSCAA presentation, reviewed the H.E.L.P. - Hub and Spoke
Service Delivery Model, explaining that Communities of Promise had been identified as
concentrated areas of poverty where community leaders could identify people to be brought in
through the Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC) system through a workforce
development training plan. Mr. Kistler stated that FSCAA DeLead program has a contractual
obligation to identify and train up to 40 people in the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) formal
certification program. He expressed the desire to certify as many people as possible in these
communities and put them to work with contractors who perform lead work, creating a path forward
for participants. Mr. Kistler indicated that FSCAA is working with DPH in regard to the DeLead
Program and with the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) regarding the
RRHACE and SCAP programs, and these entities were funding the activity that the agency has
planned for the next five (5) years.
Mr. Kistler explained that FSCAA had partnerships in place related to the Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) weatherization program, Senate Bill 150, the Clean
Power Plan (CPP), and the Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) to identify available funding and craft
programs for low-income families. He noted that FSCAA was trusted to be able to identify
programs that will bring self-sufficiency to their clients in the communities. Mr. Kistler explained
that DHSS and utility providers are gateways that clients are moving through to be identified, have
their needs assessed, and effectively apply to programs.

Mr. Kistler stated that FSCAA is working with an analytical firm from Princeton, New Jersey to
develop analytical data to back up that the investment being made in these programs has a legitimate
outcome. He informed members that the City was helping FSCAA to share and collaborate on data
and was playing a major part in identifying needs in concentrated areas of poverty in the City. He
indicated that the Delaware Housing Authority, Wilmington Housing Authority, and Dover Housing
Authority needed to identify the properties in the cities that are deficient so that financial resources
can be pooled and existing talent can be used to implement programs with good outcomes.
Mr. Kistler stated that houses of worship would also be key because of the trust factor. He noted that
the City of Dover is the hub of the model.
Mr. Kistler, referring to page 4 of the presentation, reviewed the H.E.L.P. Program. He indicated
that the FSCAA was not necessarily asking for money, but that his request was more about being
able to work collaboratively toward data collection and demographics in the City to leverage
combined resources. Mr. Kistler reviewed the ways that the City of Dover could support the
Program, as follows:
1) DeLead Collaboration Plan - Mr. Kistler reiterated that there were 5,000 pre-
1978 properties that are candidates for this program, noting that children
under six (6) years old living in those houses could potentially be poisoned.
It was unknown whether or not they were poisoned as there was no
requirement to have the children tested. Mr. Kistler indicated that the City
Manager had put FSCAA in touch with the superintendent of the school
systems, and they were starting to craft a relationship to identify kids that
could be tested and match this up against the properties. This would provide
a focused idea of where properties are with children who could potentially be
poisoned by lead paint and allow them to act.
2) SCAP Collaboration Plan - Mr. Kistler indicated that FSCAA has offices in
all three (3) counties, including one (1) in the Blue Hen Mall; however, they
do not have a brick and mortar appearance as a community action agency in
the forefront and need this. He advised that mass intake is performed every
week for the summer cooling program in different counties. Mr. Kistler
stated that they were disappointed that more people were not signing up for
the program, noting that they sometimes have only 13 people per day at the
Blue Hen Mall, and they should have hundreds. He indicated that the
FSCAA is asking for help to raise awareness. Mr. Kistler noted that there are
eligibility requirements, including being over the age of 60, having medically
proven breathing issues such as COPD or asthma, having children, being
medically challenged, etc. He stated that FSCAA would have 650 air
conditioners by September 30, 2016.
3) RRHACE Collaboration Plan - Mr. Kistler stated that they have 450 heating
units to be completed by September 30, 2016 and have completed 238. He
asked for help identifying clients with no heat now to avoid panic in the fall.

4) TRAIN Collaboration Plan - Mr. Kistler stated that if the agency is blessed
with a training grant, they would like to return to the City of Dover. He
believed that there would be an 18-month implementation period to identify
people in the community that could be trained through DTCC as energy
educators and quick-help assessors. Mr. Kistler noted that if these
individuals can be certified and put to work in an apprenticeship program,
they could do some good and create role models for their communities. He
advised that a merger had just taken place that affected Delmarva Power, and
they were discussing some type of assistance for people who were in the
dunning process and bordering on disconnection of their electricity.
Mr. Kistler stated that these individuals would be put into a formal training
program. He noted that there was only one (1) energy educator in the State
and expressed the desire to create more. Mr. Kistler stated the desire to have
the utility companies and electric cooperatives bring individuals into these
programs and help FSCAA help clients understand how to become more
energy efficient, decrease consumption of energy, and apply these savings
toward a better quality of life and less dependence on social programs.
Mr. Kistler stated the desire to stay in touch with the City. He expressed FSCAA’s belief that the
capital of the State is where their master plan should be laid out, reiterating that the City had a big
need. He felt the master plan could then be applied to any city in the State.
Mr. Hutchison questioned how long the training and certification program would take. Responding,
Mr. Kistler stated that if they receive the grant award in July, participants would be brought in to
DTCC in September. Certification would be a one (1) to three (3) week process, depending on the
type of certification. He explained that resources would be shared, noting that DTCC has some
funding for apprenticeships, FSCAA would have funding from the grant, and the employer would
be expected to contribute funds. Mr. Kistler stated that they were looking at a 90-day apprenticeship.
Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Kistler to elaborate on the FSCAA’s summer jobs program. In response,
Mr. Kistler stated that FSCAA will find out in early July if the Department of Labor will approve
their training plan, and FSCAA could then provide all relevant information. He noted that all
three (3) campuses of DTCC are partnering in regard to workforce development to help train people
and get them employed, as is Delmarva Power. Mr. Anderson requested that Mr. Kistler advise him
when FSCAA receives information about their grant, noting that he would like to share with
Mr. Kistler the names of 400 people who need jobs.
Mr. Anderson asked if Mr. Kistler needed anything from the City, or if staff needed something from
Council in this regard. Responding, Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, advised that he had
been responding to Mr. Kistler’s requests and staff was trying to do what they could to support
FSCAA.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff wanted FSCAA to come before Council to promote
their program, and requested that Council members who prepare newsletters or electronic
communications help in this regard. He stated that this was a rare instance where someone was
coming to the City with human and financial resources behind them and asking for the City to help
Página 5
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 5
establish community contacts. Mr. Koenig explained that FSCAA staff had experienced difficulty
in getting people to answer their doors when they are out knocking and advised that contacts
provided by members could help. He felt this was a wonderful opportunity for the community.
Mr. Slavin stated that FSCAA could be placed on the agenda for a Regular City Council meeting,
which would be televised and might be an opportunity to get the word out in another venue.
Mr. Kistler responded favorably, stating the desire to create as much awareness as possible.
Mr. Slavin indicated that the City Clerk’s Office would get in touch with Mr. Kistler.
Update - Residential Appeal Process and Non-Compliant/Non-Conforming Uses
During their meeting of January 11, 2016, Council approved the Parks, Recreation, and Community
Enhancement Committee’s recommendation that staff be requested to prepare a residential appeal
process and to also look at those properties within City limits that are clearly non-compliant with the
uses to be reviewed by the Committee during their March meeting. During the Council Committee
of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting of
March 15, 2016, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development,
reminded members that the first step in this process would be to determine the degree of the problem
with non-conforming uses by finding out how many such uses exist. She advised that her staff had
been working with the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) staff in the Public Works Department,
and they were in the process of developing an application that would allow the City’s planners to go
into the field and document non-conforming uses. Mrs. Townshend stated that staff could then
determine which of the non-conforming uses would be permitted as a conditional use, noting that
multi-family residential uses would not be permitted any longer in certain residential zones. From
that point, a strategy could be developed on how to attrition non-conforming uses.
During the Committee meeting of June 14, 2016, Mrs. Townshend stated that two (2) members of
the Planning Department staff were going out to identify each non-conforming use in residential
zones. In her last discussion with these staff members, the process was moving slower than
expected. She advised that one (1) quarter of the geographic area of the City was complete, and they
estimated completion in two (2) months. Mrs. Townshend advised that once staff has a picture of
non-conforming uses, they would bring forward the language and proposed process to sunset those
uses.
Mr. Slavin stated appreciation for the effort to complete a 100% census; however, he questioned
whether a representative sample could be relied on, noting that this could be approached in broad
categories of uses. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated her understanding that all non-conforming
uses in residential zones would be sunsetted and, if this was so, all such uses must be identified.
Mr. Slavin questioned if such uses could be sunsetted in a blanket ordinance adopted by Council.
He expressed frustration because it was taking a long time to get to a solution, and in the interim
non-conforming uses were continuing to cause problems. Mr. Slavin noted that there had been a
recent problem, with the root cause being a bar operating in the heart of a neighborhood in the
middle of the Fourth District. He indicated that everything the City does, including police
enforcement, cameras, street cleaning, and picking up garbage, would not correct the problem until
there is no longer a bar in the middle of a residential area.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 6
Mrs. Townshend stated that this could be approached in several ways. She explained that if all non-
conforming properties are not sunsetted, there would be a need for fair system to handle them.
Mrs. Townshend advised that a section in the Code could be developed under non-conforming uses
to deal with those uses that have been determined to be a nuisance and criteria could be set to bring
them forward more expeditiously. She indicated that when this matter was considered by the
Committee in December, she shared her belief regarding the proper methodology and had stated that
it would be very time consuming and labor intensive, and no Council members had told her to do
this differently.
Mr. Slavin stated his concern regarding the statement that 25% of the properties had been completed
in six (6) months and that the other 75% would be completed in two (2) months. In response,
Mrs. Townshend explained that staff had to develop a tablet application to be used for this process.
She indicated that she had been very up front that this project would take a lot of time and labor.
Mrs. Townshend offered to move forward in a different way if that was what Council wanted;
however, she explained that she was proceeding in the way that she previously outlined.
Mr. Slavin stated that he is sensitive to not micro-managing staff; however, this was taking a little
longer than he was comfortable with. Although he did not wish to speak for others, he expressed
his opinion of the need to get to a solutions-based approach rather than data gathering.
In response to Mr. Hare regarding a retail business that is set up across from K-Mart,
Mrs. Townshend explained that this was not a case of non-conforming use, explaining that a
business license was issued for this enterprise under policies that existed in the past. She indicated
that the business license would expire in the current month, would not be reissued, and the business
owner was aware of this.
Mrs. Townshend explained that a non-conforming use is a use that was legal when it was established
but the zoning had changed so that it is no longer a permitted use. She noted that the most numerous
non-conforming uses seen in the City were houses that had been carved into apartments.
Mrs. Townshend advised that the Elks’ Club on Kirkwood Street and a liquor store on Forest Street
were non-conforming uses. When the issue of non-conforming uses first came up, she spoke with
Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, who was very clear that the City needed to be fair and
consistent in how non-conforming uses are dealt with, and Mrs. Townshend had used this approach
in developing a process. She indicated that if another process were developed, it must be fair and
consistent.
Mr. Sudler asked if it would be fair to use a process that is complaint driven, since this type of
process is used for code enforcement. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated her belief that if this
approach is used, there would need to be some type of due process and non-conforming uses could
not be administratively expired. She explained that properties could go to the Board of Adjustment
or another body to determine if a non-conforming use should expire, and this would require a Code
amendment. Mrs. Townshend indicated that if Council wanted a Code amendment in advance of
the other part of the process, she could bring one forward; however, this had not been discussed in
the past.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 7
Mr. Anderson expressed appreciation to Mrs. Townshend and her staff for the work being done,
noting that this was a lot of work added to what they are already doing. He concurred with
Mr. Slavin that it was a bit frustrating, which he stated was why he and Mr. Sudler brought up the
idea of a complaint-driven approach several months ago. Mr. Anderson hoped that this would be
looked into, noting that all non-conforming uses are not equal. He loved the idea of looking at
nuisance non-conforming uses because there are many non-conforming uses that no one knows are
there. Mr. Anderson expressed the need to distinguish those uses that are a problem. Now that staff
had invested much time and effort into the process, he did not want them to stop, and start a new
process; however, he asked if staff could start working on something for nuisances in the
community, in the meantime.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that this could happen concurrently. She
stated that if nuisances are being dealt with separately and language is added to the Code that
specifically sets up a list of criteria and a process, this could be brought forward ahead of the full
survey. Mrs. Townshend advised that the approach had started with expiring all non-conforming
uses. She reminded members that the language in the Code regarding non-conforming uses in
residential zones indicates that these uses would expire 20 years after the adoption of the ordinance
or 40 years from initiation of the use. Mrs. Townshend noted that staff was unable to determine
when the ordinance was adopted and, without having the full picture, that section of Code cannot
be used to say that the 20 years had passed and the uses must expire. She stated that other language
could be added to the Code in the meantime that would accomplish this.
Mr. Anderson asked if the current research would only identify non-conforming uses or indicate
when those uses were granted. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained that staff’s current fieldwork
was identifying the uses, which would be entered in a table. She indicated that other data could be
pulled in, but she was unsure if there would be a good data source for exactly when uses started.
Mr. Anderson stated the need to be very careful about property rights of those who had invested their
life savings; however, he noted that the rights of other people to live in reasonable peace also needed
to be protected. He asked if staff was proceeding based on geography or by categories, and
questioned which 25% portion of the City had been done and what was outstanding. In response,
Mrs. Townshend advised that staff started working on the east side of the City and had gotten to the
area east of the highway, and the northern part of the downtown area, north of Mary Street. She
stated that when working further west in some of the newer developments, the number of non-
conforming uses would decrease and less time would be required. Mrs. Townshend noted that some
of the newer developments had been crossed off the list because staff knew there were no such uses.
She informed members that staff had started the Fairview area and was moving south.
Mrs. Townshend indicated that the next step would be the downtown area, which would be very
labor intensive.
Mr. Slavin advised that his comments were not reflective of poor work on data gathering; however,
he felt that perhaps the results of the work could be used more quickly. He referred to
Mrs. Townshend’s comment that the existing section of Code states that non-conforming uses would
be expired 20 years after the adoption of that ordinance or 40 years from their initiation. Mr. Slavin
stated that this section of Code could be repealed if it no longer serves a purpose and another section
could be put in its place to state that as of a certain date, all non-conforming uses in the City are
Página 8
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 8
repealed and the City will take action against them upon discovery. Mr. Slavin indicated that this
approach would be similar to other things done in the City, noting that not everyone is 100% in
compliance with the rules, and rules are enforced when non-compliance is found. Referring to
houses that had been carved into apartments, he indicated this is the example that he would use to
say that they will be corrected when discovered on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Slavin believed that
if all properties were addressed at once, the Planning Department would be choked with appeals.
He agreed with Mr. Anderson that the City would want to honor legitimate uses, such as a church
located in a certain area. Mr. Slavin stated that if staff paused with 25% of the properties complete
and asked Council to take the action needed to clean up the Code, which he felt all members would
be glad to do, staff could begin the enforcement process with the identified properties.
In response to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Slavin did not feel that his suggested approach needed to take the
form of a motion. He thought that Mrs. Townshend had heard the concerns and suggested that she
return in one (1) month with an update.
Citizen Suggestions
Mr. Anderson stated that a citizen had advised him that a building had been purchased and was
immediately set up for rehabilitation in order to be occupied; however, previous vacant building
fines did not reset and the individual had to pay these fines on top of the money for rehabilitation.
This citizen suggested that a six (6) month window be allowed for marketing and rehabilitation when
there is a transfer like this.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement
Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m.
UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee meeting was held with Chairman Cole presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and
unanimously carried.
Chairman Cole recognized Ms. Tricia Arndt as a new member of the Utility Committee and thanked
her for accepting the appointment.
Differential Disposal Fee Agreement - Delaware Solid Waste Authority
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the Delaware Solid Waste Authority
(DSWA) was created more than 30 years ago to handle municipal waste through the State of
Delaware, and the City had a good relationship with the DSWA. He explained that the City is not
in the landfill business and has a contractual relationship with the DSWA. Mr. Koenig indicated that
the proposed differential disposal fee agreement would memorialize that relationship from
July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021. He stated that the gate charge would be reduced for the next
Página 9
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 9
five (5) years, with the result that spending in FY 2021 would be approximately the same amount
that was currently being paid to the DSWA. Mr. Koenig stated that the agreement would offer a
rebate and set the gate charge at $85 per ton. The prescriptive rebate would be included on the City’s
bill that would be issued twice per year, on February 15th and August 15th for that year of tonnage.
Mr. Koenig stated that in recent history, all of these agreements had come before Council for
approval; however, he noted that the City does not have another place to take its waste in the State
of Delaware, and it would not be desired to cross state lines with waste. He advised that the contract
being presented was the same contract being offered to all municipalities in the State.
Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the proposed Differential Disposal Fee
Agreement with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) to provide municipal solid waste
disposal service for the City of Dover from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021 at the rates set forth
in the agreement.
Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by
Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Quarterly Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and
Water/Wastewater) (January, February, and March)
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the Quarterly Report for the Capital Investment
Plan (CIP) as of March 31, 2016. He advised that this report was prepared by the Finance
Department and summarizes the finances for each project identified in the CIP. In regard to
Water/Wastewater Improvement & Extension Fund - Major CIP Projects, Mr. Koenig noted that a
number of projects were listed as being in process, explaining that staff had been diligently working
through the capital plan. He stated that construction timelines do not match budget timelines, and
some project carry-forwards must be rebudgeted. Mr. Koenig advised that when project budget
difficulties have occurred, staff came before Council to amend project budgets; however, projects
were generally moving forward. He stated that staff had gravitated toward doing design features for
water/sewer projects during the first year, with construction typically occurring the next year.
Mr. Koenig indicated that this routine had been used, for example, for pump station upgrades. He
noted that staff had been working for some time on the 1M gallon elevated storage tank location.
Mr. Koenig reminded members that staff had proposed a location several years ago that met with
public resistance. Since that time, staff had been negotiating a second site and had passed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) back and forth with a property owner for the better part of
a year. Mr. Koenig stated that the attorneys had finished their reviews and it was believed that final
closure of that location was close. He informed members that once a final MOU is signed, staff
would come back before Council to discuss how that project would move forward. Mr. Koenig
stated that this was the longest running project.
Mr. Koenig stated that the Garrison improvements had been constructed and were in place. Staff
was working on project closeout documentation and final release of payments. A number of current
projects were progressing with construction.
In regard to electric components of the CIP, Mr. Koenig advised that Mr. Harry Maloney, Electric
Director, had completed the General Scott Switchgear project. The station was in operation and the
project would be closed out this fiscal year. The Garrison Oak Transmission Line Relocation was
Página 10
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 10
complete, as was construction of the Van Sant Capacity Increase, and project documentation would
be closed out. Mr. Koenig stated that the Electric Department had done a very good job of working
through the capital plan. He advised members that Mr. Maloney had staff in place so that design
features could be completed in-house or externally, projects could move through the capital system
to completion, and the assets could be put in operation.
Mr. Koenig stated that he was very happy with the work that had been done both on the Public
Works side under the water/sewer utility and the electric side and believed that the City’s customers
could see the benefits of these systems being improved over time.
Updates
Green Energy Funding and Programming
Members reviewed details regarding Green Energy Funding and Programming, as of April 21, 2016.
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4) Permit
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that staff had been exchanging a document
related to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit back and forth with the
Department of Natural Resources and Control (DNREC) and it was expected to be finalized in the
next 30-60 days. He noted that staff had been working on compliance issues over the last year to
year-and-a-half. Mr. Koenig indicated that the City’s Environmental Scientist, who was heading up
this program, had left the City to work in the private sector and this position would be advertised
shortly so that permit compliance can be resolved. Mr. Koenig stated that staff was starting to get
all of the permit activities embedded into the operations of the Public Works Department and other
departments that have influence on the permit. He felt that the City was moving toward compliance,
noting that the FY 17 budget has many items that are cost drivers for the Public Works Department
that are related to compliance, including monitoring and operational issues. Mr. Koenig informed
members that the City was working through the system to achieve compliance at the DNREC level.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:03 p.m.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held with Chairman Hare
presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS

Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning Center School Resource Officer (SRO)
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
Police Chief Paul Bernat advised members that the City of Dover Police Department currently has
a partnership with the Capital School District and has three (3) School Resource Officers (SROs),
one (1) at Dover High School, one (1) at Central Middle School, and one (1) at Parkway Academy
Central. The District pays $100,000 for the officers at Dover High School and Central Middle
School and $60,000 for the SRO at Parkway Academy Central. He indicated that there is also a
Gang Resistance Education and Awareness Training (GREAT) officer. Chief Bernat requested
permission to enter into another agreement with the Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning
Center (ILC) School for another SRO. He explained that he had met with Dr. Dan Shelton,
Superintendent, Capital School District, and his staff and developed an agreement similar to the
Parkway Academy Central agreement. Chief Bernat informed members that the Police Department
is authorized 101 police officers and there would be a resignation effective June 30, 2016. He stated
that he would like to remain at a strength of 101 officers, send a police officer to the Academy in
September, and enter into this agreement with the Capital School District for FY 17, FY 18, and
FY 19.
Staff recommended authorizing the Chief of Police to negotiate and sign the final Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) for the placement of a School Resource Officer (SRO) at the Kent County
Secondary Intensive Learning Center site for the next three (3) years (FY 2017, FY 2018 and
FY 2019).
Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Disposition of Excess Property - 29 South Governors Avenue and 749 West North Street
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, informed members that the City had acquired several properties
over the years through demolition of structures, subsequent levying of the demolition liens, and
acquiring these properties through sheriff’s sales. He indicated that 29 South Governors Avenue and
749 West North Street had been declared excess property by Council; however, in the declaration,
Mr. Koenig was required to dispose of them using the standard method of disposition, which is
typically the public bidding process. These properties were advertised for public bid last year and
no offers were received. Mr. Koenig advised that staff was preparing to put these properties out for
bid again; however, Mr. Michael Maupin, Managing Director, MauTiste Investment Group,
submitted an unsolicited bid for these properties. Mr. Koenig stated that, Mr. William Pepper,
Deputy City Solicitor, had indicated that it would not be a good idea for Mr. Koenig to act on this
administratively and that he should bring this matter before Council for their recommendation on
accepting the proposals. Mr. Koenig noted that the offered price for 29 South Governors Avenue
was $8,000 and for 749 West North Street was $18,000, for a total of $26,000. Mr. Koenig stated
that demolition and other related expenses had been identified, and if these offers were accepted the
City would have to write off approximately $17,718.35 in loss; however, the properties would be
put back into private sector hands. He advised that Mr. Maupin intended to develop the properties
and, once developed, they would go back on the tax rolls. Mr. Koenig believed one (1) of the
properties was located in the Downtown Development District (DDD), and depending on how they
are redeveloped, the property that is not in the DDD would go back on the tax rolls immediately.
The tax rebate guidelines for the DDD would apply to the other property in the DDD. Mr. Koenig
Página 12
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 12
stated that, in general, these redevelopments would be positive for the City since there would be new
structures, hopefully owner-occupied homes, and there would no longer be vacant pieces of land.
He noted that currently the City was incurring cost to mow the grass and dispose of any debris.
Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to accept the offers from MauTiste Investment
Group in the amount of $8,000 for 29 South Governors Avenue and $18,000 for 749 West North
Street and write-off the remaining expenses and charges in the combined amount of $17,718.35 for
these properties.
Mr. Koenig advised that Mr. Maupin was present and had provided an updated letter, dated
June 9, 2026, stating that the Mautiste Investment Group is prepared to extend the expiration date
of their offer to purchase the properties (Attachment #1). Mr. Koenig noted that the previously
provided letter had expired.
Mr. Shevock asked if the properties would remain exempt from taxes until a house is actually built.
Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that the property at 749 West North Street is not in the DDD;
therefore, the purchaser would have to pay FY 17 property taxes on the raw land and may be subject
to additional taxes on improvements made in FY 17. He indicated that the property at 29 South
Governors Avenue would potentially be in the DDD, and improvements made to the property would
not necessarily go onto the tax rolls immediately since there is a roll-in period for new
improvements. Mr. Koenig stated that the purchaser would most likely have to pay the land tax
associated with this property, but if improvements are made in the near future, the roll-in for full
property tax value of the land and structure would be in accordance with the district guidelines.
Mr. Shevock moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to accept the offers from
MauTiste Investment Group in the amount of $8,000 for 29 South Governors Avenue and
$18,000 for 749 West North Street and write-off the remaining expenses and charges in the
combined amount of $17,718.35 for these properties, as recommended by staff. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried.
Discussion - Tax Account Delinquency Listing
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that he had previously sent the Tax Account
Delinquency Listing as of May 31, 2016 to members of Council and indicated that he would be
willing to discuss placing the list on the City’s website during a Committee meeting. He informed
members that staff had previously posted this listing on the City of Dover website going back to
2011-2012; however, it had stopped being updated on the website. He stated that he would like to
start posting the list on the website to encourage people to review it and become non-delinquent.
Mr. Koenig noted that delinquencies on the list range from a few dollars because of late charges, etc.,
to thousands of dollars because people do not want to, or have not paid their taxes. He advised that
staff was looking for the lowest cost way to get delinquent taxes collected and staff had done a good
job in addressing this over the last couple of years. Mr. Koenig informed members that as of
June 1, 2016, approximately $111,0000 in tax delinquency was due from all years. Mr. Koenig
noted that the list included locations that are familiar to everyone, where payment has not been made
for one (1) reason or another. He expressed the desire to minimize the amount of time needed for
staff to reach out to these people to encourage them to make their accounts current.
Página 13
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 13
Mr. Anderson expressed his opinion that there should be a $10 or $25 level in the list that screens
delinquencies, stating that someone may think they are paid up and be suddenly put on a public list
because they owe a small amount. He believed this is excessive and ridiculous. Mr. Anderson stated
that something may be listed in error and did not wish to unnecessarily embarrass people for a small
delinquency, such as $5.83. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that he understood Mr. Anderson’s point
and Council could create a bar if they desired; however, he felt that any bar above zero (0) would
have some outstanding balances on it. While in some cases these delinquencies were relatively
minor, Mr. Koenig indicated that there are accounting issues that must be cleaned up whether the
amount owed is $5.83, $50.83, or $500.83, and the City still has an obligation to collect it. He
explained that Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, had advised that staff did not have the
right to write-off penalties. Mr. Koenig stated that these parties had been notified that monies were
due and still had not paid outstanding bills, so the City was incurring dollars to send notifications.
He did not believe the City should be incurring those costs but should post the list to encourage
people to look at it and pay all amounts owed.
Mr. Anderson stated that posting the list would not alleviate staff from having to do the other items.
He felt that just because the list is posted did not mean that the party would see it. Mr. Anderson
believed, at the very least, that the party would pay the penalty when they see it on their next property
tax bill. In response, Mr. Koenig stated that this is potentially correct; however, the charge may carry
forward and not be paid the next time. He indicated that he was looking for people to call their
neighbors and friends to say that an amount is owed, which would mean more than the City asking
them to pay the fee. Mr. Koenig noted that it is a time-consuming process for staff to call or send
letters to people on a list, such as the current 14-page list, to inform them that they will not be
bothered if they are below a $25 threshold and the fee will carry over to the next year. He felt that
this would be time consuming and put staff at a greater disadvantage regarding why one (1) party
is called versus another. Mr. Koenig reiterated that he wanted people to pay the fees because they
are owed to the City.
Mr. Anderson questioned why the list would not just be flagged in the computer so that customers
who come in to pay their electric, water, and sewer bill would be asked by Customer Service if they
would like to pay any delinquent taxes owed. He felt this would be more effective in collecting the
money. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that this may be easier to do as the City upgrades to the
Enterprise Resource Program (ERP). He had not examined the screen at Customer Service to see
if there is a flag that pops up regarding taxes when someone pays their electric bill, so he was unsure
if this was possible; however, he pointed out that this would be another step incurred at the
administrative level and there would be a cost for this. Although he could not detail the cost at this
time, he noted that it would equate to some dollar amount.
Mr. Slavin expressed confusion about why the City would want to coddle those who do not pay their
bills on time. He stated that the City is compassionate when people face issues in paying for their
utilities. This takes only one (1) conversation with the customer, and they are then accommodated
by setting up any kind of payment plan that they need. Mr. Slavin felt that there were some people
on the list that fall into this category; however, he did not believe that everyone did. He advised that
there were names on the list that he and others in the room recognized as people of means in the
community who had chosen not to pay their bills on time and have the City incur additional costs
to have them paid. Mr. Slavin felt that 98% of the property owners pay their bills on time and 2%
Página 14
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 14
require staff time to chase down. He felt it would be prudent to put the word out, noting that the list
is a matter of public record that had already been included in a City Council meeting packet.
Mr. Slavin stated that he supported what Mr. Koenig and Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City
Manager, had been trying to do on this matter and in regard to utility payments. He also supported
the compassion customers had been shown by Customer Service agents in dealing with those who
cannot pay on time.
Mr. Cole agreed with Mr. Slavin. Referring to Mr. Koenig’s comment that the delinquency list had
been posted in the past, Mr. Cole questioned why this was discontinued. Responding, Mr. Koenig
stated that he was unsure. He advised that at one time there was a link to the list on the home page
of the website. Mr. Koenig noted that if a list is posted on July 1st, when the tax bills go out, the list
has hundreds of pages, so it would not be appropriate to post it at that time. He thought perhaps that
staff stopped posting it at the end of a fiscal year and, for some reason, it did not get posted as it
became a truly delinquent list.
Mr. Hare asked if the City is able to issue business licenses for those with delinquent taxes.
Responding, Mr. Koenig advised that controls have been put in place for business licenses, building
permits, and development applications to invoke clean hands. He stated that all departments are
aware of the Clean Hands Ordinance. Mr. Koenig indicated that he could not say that staff takes
advantage of every opportunity with respect to the Ordinance; however, this issue is sometimes
caught by the Planning Department, Customer Service, and City Manager’s Office. He stated that
as the City potentially replaces its financial systems, it will probably become easier to catch these
issues, noting that currently it is sometimes necessary to go into multiple screens to find out what
is owed.
Mr. Hare stated that some of the delinquencies are quite large and are known businesses, and they
should be made note of when it is time to renew licenses.
Mr. Koenig stated that staff had worked on whittling down the delinquency listing and the backlog
at Customer Service. He advised members that when August 31st arrives and FY 17 is delinquent,
he would ideally like to send out a very direct Clean Hands letter saying that if a party does not pay
soon, the City reserves the right to cut their power. Mr. Koenig noted that this would not be
customer friendly and he was trying to balance reality with getting the bills paid. He indicated that
it would be difficult to send this letter out because it could affect business operations. Mr. Koenig
explained that, in some cases, people have triple net leases where the property owner may have had
to pay the property tax, is waiting for a business to pay him, and everyone is pointing their finger at
someone else. He felt that as this message gets stronger to the residential and business communities,
people will pay on time and staff will not have to send additional letters because people will know
that if they do not pay on time and keep current, they will be subject to disconnection. Mr. Koenig
stated that some businesses do not mind accruing a late penalty and do not provide an explanation
as to why they are not offended by the late penalty accruing. He advised that they hold the money
and pay the tax when it is convenient for them or when the City threatens a sheriff’s sale or gets into
the issue of Clean Hands.

Whatcoat Village Revitalization Payment-in-Lieu of Taxes (PILOT)
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that Whatcoat Community Development, Inc.
had proposed the revitalization of Whatcoat Village, 992 Whatcoat Village Drive. Mr. Koenig
referred to the draft Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement between the City of Dover and
Whatcoat Community Development, Inc., explaining that this was very similar to a previous
discussion regarding the revitalization of the Walker Woods development by the Milford Housing
Development Corporation. Mr. Koenig explained that the owner of Whatcoat Village Apartments
had applied for tax exemption through the City of Dover Board of Assessment Appeals, which was
approved because of the 501(c)(3) designation and their history of qualifying for this designation.
He advised that Whatcoat Community Development, Inc. wanted to be a good neighbor and had
offered a PILOT agreement. This agreement was similar to the Milford Housing Development
Corporation agreement that was executed for the redevelopment of Walker Woods and was prepared
by the same attorney. Mr. Koenig indicated that the City Manager’s Office was supportive of the
proposed agreement, noting that he would like to discuss minor adjustments to the agreement with
the attorney in order to finalize it. He noted that the Walker Woods agreement had a small escalator
that was not included in this draft agreement. Mr. Koenig advised that in the case of Walker Woods,
Council reviewed the draft agreement and turned it over to Mr. Koenig to finalize, and it was placed
on file with the City Clerk’s and Tax Assessor’s Offices. He noted that the proposed agreement is
different from Walker Woods where the City released a road right-of-way. In this instance there
would not be the same release of property.
Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a final agreement with
Whatcoat Community Development, Inc. regarding a proposed PILOT agreement for Whatcoat
Village located at 992 Whatcoat Village Drive.
Mr. Hutchison asked if a strong management program would be in place to oversee operations on
a day-to-day basis. Responding, Ms. Vandana Sareen, Vice President of Development, Michaels
Development Company, stated that Mr. William Hill was serving as Chairman of the Whatcoat
Community Development, Inc. board. Ms. Sareen indicated that they were working together as
partners to redevelop the 78-unit project. She explained that Interstate Realty Management would
be the management agent and management was available onsite. In response to Mr. Hutchison as
to whether they had experience, Ms. Sareen stated that the community was developed approximately
35 years ago and there had been no capital improvements at the property since. Ten years ago,
Interstate Realty Management, which is an arm of the Michaels Development Company, was hired
by Whatcoat Community Development, Inc. to perform management. They had now received some
funding to help bring the units to current market standards and improve the physical assets of the
property. Ms. Sareen stated that a lot of upgrades would be done; however, affordable housing
tenants would still be targeted and the population served would be similar to the current population.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a
final agreement with Whatcoat Community Development, Inc. regarding a proposed PILOT
agreement for Whatcoat Village located at 992 Whatcoat Village Drive, as recommended by
staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
Mr. Anderson thanked Whatcoat Community Development, Inc. for entering into this agreement and
hoped that others would do the same.

Evaluation of Requests for Proposals
Collection Agency Services
Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, informed members that on May 22, 2003, the City
entered into a contract with Capital Credit Services, which was subsequently acquired by First
Collect, which came to fruition on September 1, 2014. He stated that a number of City customers
had accounts that were at or above $90,000, and First Collect was having a difficult time collecting
because many parties were moving out of the general area where the collections agency was licensed
to pursue them. Mr. Hudson stated that it became paramount to engage an agency that could collect
in all 50 states, noting that Dover is a transient area with many military and college students.
Mr. Hudson indicated that the contract with First Collect does not have an expiration date; however,
there is a stipulation that either party can submit a 30-day letter to be released from the contract.
Mr. Hudson advised members that staff was recommending removing the current collection agency
and moving on to a new agency based on a Request for Proposals (RFP) that was issued several
months ago.
Members were provided a document entitled “City of Dover Collection Agency Services Contract,
RFP Number 16-0033CM” (Attachment #2) and Mr. Hudson reviewed the Decision Scale regarding
RFP submissions. Members were advised that candidates chosen were licensed and authorized to
collect in all fifty (50) states; provide skip tracing, scrubs, and credit bureau reporting. The three (3)
major credit reporting agencies are Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax. The importance of these
factors are directly related to the City of Dover’s ability to collect military accounts as well as other
transient accounts. All companies listed offer services similar in nature and are comparable in terms
of auto dialer and times calls, paper correspondence, and consumer dispute resolution. Each
company has provided a Collectors Code of Ethics and regulatory requirements for Federal, State,
and Local Guidelines; to include Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit
Reporting Act (FCRA).
Mr. Hudson indicated that of the eight (8) proposals received, three (3) companies were considered
to be the top candidates: SIMM Associates, Inc., Penn Credit Corporation, and Progressive
Financial. Based on the criteria (10-point scale), SIMM Associates, Inc., provided positive scoring
in all areas except minority business. If positive negotiations were to fail, it was recommended that
Penn Credit be considered.
Mr. Hudson pointed out that there was an error in the Recommended Action section of the
Committee Action Form previously provided. He explained that, although it had been indicated that
“Fees are based on a percentage of revenue collected,” this was incorrect and the City would pay
nothing for collection services. He explained that currently anyone who goes to collections with
First Credit must pay a 35% contingency fee; therefore, 35% is tacked on to whatever they owe the
City. Mr. Hudson advised that SIMM Associates, Inc., would have a 20% fee. For example, if a
customer owed the City $100, the total fee would be $120, with the City receiving $100 and SIMM
Associates keeping $20. SIMM Associates would not be paid unless they collect, and if they collect
they would add their 20% and the service would be free to the City.
Mr. Hudson stated that staff recommended authorization to negotiate and sign a final, three (3) year
agreement with SIMM Associates, Inc. He noted that this would remove First Credit.
Página 17
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 17
Mr. Shevock recused himself from voting on this matter for personal reasons.
Members were provided a Trial Balance Report prepared May 31, 2016 (Attachment #3).
Mr. Hudson noted that Line 21 reflected balances over 30, 60 and 90 days for residential energy.
He advised that this was highlighted to indicate the amount of funds owed for electric bills; however,
a new collection agency would pursue all amounts listed in the report.
In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Hudson indicated that SIMM Associates, Inc. would also be collecting
delinquent tax bills.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend authorizing staff to negotiate and sign a final three (3) year
agreement with SIMM Associates, Inc. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and
unanimously carried, with Mr. Shevock abstaining.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Maintenance and Repair
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that proposals were solicited and advertised
according to City policy by the City’s Contract and Procurement Manager under RFP #16-0040PW
for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Maintenance and Repair. Submissions were
received from four (4) contractors. One (1) was deemed non-responsive and the other three (3) were
evaluated by cost and performance. Based on that evaluation, staff recommended awarding a
contract to A. A. Duckett, Inc., which would include four (4) quarterly preventative maintenance
services, as well annual preventative maintenance services for each of the units. Mr. Koenig stated
that standby and emergency rates were also incorporated into the proposal.
Staff recommended awarding a three (3) year contract with the option for two (2) one (1) year
extensions to A.A. Duckett, Inc. as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #16-0040PW.
Mr. Hare noted that the rates between John Hiott Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Inc., and
A. A. Duckett, Inc. were very close. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that there was a slight
difference in the tech rate; however, the after hours and general labor rates were very similar.
Mr. Hare questioned why a company from New Jersey was selected rather than a company from
Wyoming, Delaware. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that staff was interested in overall
performance and liked the discussion about safety records that A. A. Duckett provided, noting that
HVAC services had been a challenge for staff. He stated that staff preferred this company because
they have a good performance record in the documentation submitted.
Mr. Hare asked if A. A. Duckett had a facility in Delaware, and Mr. Koenig responded that they did
not and were being dispatched out of New Jersey; however, he was unsure where their staff actually
lives and if they take their trucks home at night. He advised that they had stated they could meet the
City’s standards to be here in the time frames identified in the RFP, and if they do not they would
be called out on non-performance, as stated in the contract.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding a three (3) year contract with the option for two (2)
one (1) year extensions to A.A. Duckett, Inc. as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP
#16-0040PW, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried
with Mr. Anderson voting no.

Recommendation of General Employee Pension Board - Consideration of a Retiree Cost of
Living Allowance (COLA)
Mr. Lester Blakeman, 209 Falmouth Way, advised members that he is a member of the Civilian
Pension Board and a pensioner. Members were provided handouts by Mr. Blakeman, as follows:
1) Exhibit A - COLA History, and 2) Exhibit B1 - Breakdown of Monthly Pension Payments and
B2 - Pension List 2008 (Attachment #4). Mr. Blakeman stated that the COLA History listed the cost
of living increases that had been granted to retirees in the General Employee Pension Plan. He
informed members that it had been 10 years since a COLA had been addressed, which he felt was
a long time. Mr. Blakeman understood that there was nothing in the pension plan that guarantees
a cost of living increase for these pensioners, and these employees knew this when they retired;
however, he noted that in the past the City had acknowledged from time to time that retirees may
need a little help surviving. He explained that Exhibit B1 listed pension checks written through
January 15, 2008, when this matter was last reviewed. He noted that the individuals in the first
column were making less than $1,000 per month. Mr. Blakeman stated that more than half the
individuals in the second column were making less than $2,000 per month and the primary amount
in the third column was approximately $2,000. He felt that the last three (3) individuals were doing
okay. Mr. Blakeman indicated that he had previously suggested granting raises to sections of the
pensioners and was told that this would not be allowed and an increase of any kind must be applied
to all pensioners. He explained that he would be glad not to receive an increase if some of those on
the lower end of the scale could be helped. Reiterating that a COLA had not been discussed for
10 years, Mr. Blakeman stated that this used to be an annual discussion. He requested that reviewing
the need for or the ability to provide a COLA for pensioners in the General Employee Pension Plan
be included on a future agenda. Mr. Blakeman advised that these were the people who built the City
and gave hundreds or thousands of years of combined service to the City, and he felt it might be
appropriate to give them some help from time to time. He stated that if this goes unnoticed year after
year, nothing would happen and suggested it could be agreed to at least review this every year as part
of the budget process. Mr. Blakeman indicated that he did not expect anything to happen this year,
stating his understanding that the budget was set. He stated that if pension payments were
$3,863,000, a 1% increase would cost $38,000, a 2% increase would cost $77,000, a 3% increase
would cost $115,000, a 4% increase would cost $154,000, and a 5% increase would cost $193,000.
Mr. Slavin questioned if Mr. Blakeman’s figures were calculated on a one (1) time annual basis.
Responding, Mr. Blakeman stated that the figures that he provided were the cost for the year of the
increase and would be the carry-forward amount until additional action was taken. He noted that the
history provided showed that a variety of approaches had been taken in regard to increases.
Mr. Blakeman thanked Mr. Anderson and others for getting him to the point to talk to members
today, stating that this had been a long, uphill battle.
In response to Mr. Neil, Mr. Blakeman stated that pensioners were also collecting Social Security.
Mr. Blakeman stated that employees were told when they signed up for the plan that they should not
count on the City’s contribution as their sole source of retirement income and the plan would be in
conjunction with Social Security. He estimated Social Security payment at approximately one-third
of the amount that employees receive from their City pension, noting that COLAs from Social
Security had been scarce.
Página 19
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 19
Mr. Neil stated that he would favor considering this in the future. Mr. Blakeman indicated that this
was all he was asking, noting that pensioners feel like lost sheep because they are not being talked
about but are set aside and ignored. He reiterated the desire to at least be considered.
Mr. Shevock questioned the amounts that employees were making per month, for example, the
individual who was receiving $200 per month and $2,400 per year. Responding, Mr. Blakeman
indicated that $200 was probably a minimum pension amount. He stated that this employee could
have been making $4,000 per year or less. Mr. Blakeman advised that the City’s defined benefit plan
allowed employees to set their own pensions. He indicated that employees received 2% for every
year they worked and the amount was based on their average salary during their last three (3) years.
An employee who worked 10 years would receive 20% of their salary, an employee who worked 20
years would receive 40%, and an employee who worked 50 years would receive 100% of their salary.
Proposed Ordinance #2016-16 Amending Chapter 22 - Building and Building Regulations;
Chapter 26 - Businesses; Chapter 50 - Floods; Chapter 66 - Manufactured Homes and
Trailers; Chapter 102 - Taxation; Chapter 106 - Traffic and Vehicles; Chapter 110 - Utilities;
Appendix B - Zoning, Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 12; and Appendix F- Fees and Fines
(Sponsors: Neil, Slavin, and Cole)
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, informed members
that Proposed Ordinance #2016-16 had required a very comprehensive review and update to the
Dover Code including any section referencing manufactured homes or mobile homes. She explained
that the Mobile Home Park Zone would by changed to the Manufactured Home Zone, and it was
made clear that manufactured homes that meet that Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) standard are the type of homes that are allowed. Mrs. Townshend stated that this would
ensure that nothing that does not meet those standards would be permitted in the City; however,
language would be left to ensure that homes that already exist could still obtain licenses. In addition,
where the current Code references mobile home parks, the terminology had been changed to land
lease communities, and basic standards for maintenance and licensing of land lease communities had
been developed. Mrs. Townshend explained that much of the language involved the zoning section
of the Code, as well as the licensing section for manufactured homes. She noted that staff did a
sweep of the entire Code and reviewed any section that referenced the terms manufactured home,
mobile home, or trailer to make sure the text was consistent with current terminology.
Councilman Neil read a prepared statement, as follows:
Monday night, we heard Chief Carey mention the fire at the Grandview mobile home
community that damaged or destroyed 3 houses. Several years ago before I was
elected to this august body, Councilman Hare, then Councilman Perza and I toured
several leased land communities, one of those was Grandview... which isn't grand at
all.
The potholes, contrary to State Law and the City code, were deep enough to serve as
swimming pools for kids.
I have sent each of you copies of the arbitrators decision in the Wild Meadows case
in which the arbitrator said . . . “In all, I am left asking myself: If the City of Dover
Página 20
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2016 PAGE 20
had not issued the Violation Letter, would the Landlord have ever fixed the
community’s problems? The record before me indicates No . . . .”
Wild Meadows is located on wetlands, the community owner was required to sign
a topography map. Deep fissures or sinkholes were clustered around failing drains.
Streets the City would build to last for 20 to 30 years, are going bad after 12.
Today, I sent to you the Saga of the Gas Cut-off. The problem is, for the same
services we provide, the values of homes drop, and we collect less tax money.
The State of Delaware has laws that it can’t or does not enforce. The low income and
limited income home owners are held at the mercy of the landlord because Leased
Land communities are not “Free Enterprise” businesses. In the past, the Wild
Meadows Home Owners Association had to request the City to make management
cut down a tree branch that blocked a stop sign.
While this ordinance can’t cure all of the ills in the leased land arena, this will mark
the first in the State to hold community owners accountable for health and safety
violations of the law, or face the loss of their license to operate.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2016-16, seconded by
Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee
meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
