Mr. Colón advised members that the property located at 120 S. Governors Avenue (former Acme
site) is currently being marketed; EZ Pass will be located at 22-24 W. Loockerman Street in March
2014; and the parking lots at 133-143 S. Governors Avenue were recently re-striped by the City. He
advised members that the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)
had afforded the DDP the ability to clean up the site at 238 Railroad Avenue (former Chesapeake
Supply) and, with the City’s assistance, the building had been demolished. Mr. Colón noted that the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) loaned 15 Jersey barriers to block off the site,
which will keep the site clean and eliminate unwanted access. Mr. Colón reported that the Inner City
Cultural League will be located at the east side of the N. West Street property and development was
Página 14
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 11
progressing. He stated that Loockerman Way (114-128 West Loockerman Street) had been the site
of many functions since the ribbon cutting on March 28, 2013 (First Friday events, Farmer’s Market
on Wednesdays, etc.). Mr. Colón thanked members of City Council and Staff for all the support
provided to the DDP.
Referring to the relocation of EZ Pass to 22-24 W. Loockerman Street, Mr. Moore stated that they
will begin moving into the building and testing all equipment in February 2014. He advised
members that Wesley College is opening the Frear Building as a Nursing School at the end of 2013
and the program will begin in the Spring Semester. Lastly, he unveiled the final design of the new
“pocket” park (Exhibit #1), which is a result of a great team effort with the City of Dover.
Mr. Lynn moved for acceptance of the Annual Report for the Downtown Dover Partnership,
seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried.
UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 25, 2013
The Utility Committee met on November 25, 2013 with Chairwoman Williams presiding.
Electric Supply & Generation
Members were provided information regarding Electric Supply and Generation, as follows:
McKee Run Units 1 & 2 - Cost/Benefit Analysis
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a Presentation - Cost/Benefit Analysis for City of Dover
for McKee Run Units 1 & 2, as prepared by Mr. Robert Trinnear, The Energy Authority (TEA).
Referring to Slide 13, Mr. Blakeman questioned if there were a means of quantifying the risk of
operational failure. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that he would contact representatives of both
TEA and North American Energy Services (NAES) to obtain this information.
In response to Mr. Blakeman with reference to Slide 14, Mr. Koenig stated that borescope inspection
logs did not indicate any required repairs and/or improvements that were not already included in the
City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Based on current knowledge, he assured members that the
only repairs and/or improvements anticipated were those listed in the CIP.
Responding to Mrs. Williams regarding the cost of “mothballing” these Units, Mr. Koenig stated that
TEA and NAES had been requested to provide a price; however, staff anticipated that this amount
would be costly (in the high six to low seven figure range) due to asbestos and other issues
associated with the Units.
Mr. Snaman questioned if the new power plant (Calpine) could affect the details regarding Units 1
and 2. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that if the City entered into a purchase power agreement
with Calpine, the City could replace the capacity of Units 1 and 2 with capacity from the Calpine
Project, which would be a negotiated item and was scheduled for discussion later in the meeting,
under Item #1C.
Página 15
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 12
Mrs. Williams relayed concern with proceeding since there were so many uncertainties.
Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, the City’s Energy Attorney, stated that there was not as much
uncertainty as there appeared to be but there were several risks. He explained that some life
extensions were previously done to Units 1 and 2 to keep them “alive;” however, prior to the Calpine
project, the lease arrangement at the Garrison Tract included the opportunity to purchase 50 MW of
capacity based on the belief that Units 1 and 2 would not survive. He stated that the Units are not
as reliable as needed, which poses a risk. When the Units are supposed to come up and they do not,
the City is penalized financially as well as with regard to reserve requirements and does not get the
capacity credits needed. While these costs have not yet been quantified, they exist. He advised
members that another risk was the capacity price of $119 per megawatt day (MWd) which was
expected to be in the range of $150, $180, and $200 per MWd, but noted that this was not fully
quantified because the PJM market only extends out three (3) years. He explained that this type of
spread reduces the value of the plant and, with the addition of the costs for operating those Units
including the NAES costs and the capital costs indicated in the CIP, there is a very low margin.
With a low margin area of approximately $250,000, for example, the City would be totally at risk
and one (1) or more operational failure or forced outage could result in the City being “in the hole.”
While these numbers had not been quantified, he explained that they appear more and more
threatening in terms of the value of the plant.
Mr. Betts explained that another issue with old units such as these is that spare parts are not available
and must be manufactured. He explained that manufacturing parts for an antique piece of equipment
costs more and the value is not recovered; therefore, the cost just to repair Units 1 and 2 would be
extraordinarily high. He reminded members that Units 1 and 2 were being kept for capacity plays,
and when the capacity market goes down, the value disappears. Although the City does not need the
Units for energy, they must be able to operate. He noted that the heat rate for these Units is very
high, at least 13,000 btu’s per kilowatt hour, whereas the competing Calpine unit is approximately
half of that. Therefore, the Units are a non-competitive resource that the City pays a lot of money for
in order to have capacity and the value is continuously decreasing. While not fully quantified, these
are the real risks involved with these two (2) Units.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Betts explained that maintenance for Units 1 and 2 should have
been done gradually over time but was deferred in previous years to avoid the additional capital cost,
which is the reason for the major $2.4M “hit” in budget for Fiscal Year 2018. He stated that the
capacity market has dropped significantly, and the PJM capacity market has many components. He
advised members that Converge, an Arrow Electronic Company, has been working, primarily with
refrigeration, to find ways to replace capacity in the marketplace by allowing customers to go offline
for a couple of minutes at a time. In the past, customers had generation in reserve or brought up
generation to meet the voltage requirements; however, since customers are able to meter the load
precisely and changes are computerized, they are able to go offline and reduce load instead of
bringing capacity on. He stated that last summer in this region, more than 1,000 MW(the amount
of a nuclear plant) were taken offline voluntarily by customers who received a notice the day before
indicating if they went offline the next day between certain hours, they would be compensated a
certain amount per kilowatt hour not used, which had a huge impact on the marketplace. The current
market is very different and continuously changing; therefore, the way in which customers invest and
Página 16
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 13
adapt to the changes are also different. Mr. Betts expressed his opinion that the market is not fixed
but in some areas it is very tight; for example, in New Jersey the current capacity price is almost
$300 per MWd, whereas in Dover it has dropped. He explained that the Garrison Plant’s 300 MW
has a huge impact on costs on the Delmarva Peninsula because it is gas operated, fast, has relatively
low personnel costs, and can bid into the market very aggressively.
In regard to transmission costs, Mr. Betts explained that there has been a huge amount of
transmission expansion in PJM, which has resulted in a reduction of the number of power plants
constructed. It is a very dynamic market and, with 13,000 heat rate units, the City must consider
whether, even if investment were made in Units 1 and 2, there would be value going forward and
how much value that investment would have in the next five (5) to 10 years.
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the 2016/2017 forecast was
completed last May and, at that time, the capacity price was $193 per MWd. The price was now at
$119 per MWd; therefore, she stated that the capacity revenue would change accordingly. She noted
that a leak on a gasket on Unit 1 had to be repaired last year and the costs were over budget. In
addition, she expressed concern regarding costs involving Unit 3. She stated that it had been
borescoped and will be opened up for repair. This was scheduled as a three (3) year project which
started with a $1.21M budget for the turbine repair and generator; however, the bids received for the
turbine were excessive, so the generator was done separately at a cost of $276,000. The costs for
the turbine repairs for Unit 3 were currently up to $1.6M, and she noted that when it is opened,
additional repairs may be required which would increase the costs.
In response to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Mitchell stated that staff’s recommendation would not include
bidding Units 1 and 2 in the PJM market beyond Fiscal Year 2017 since staff anticipated a joint
agreement with Calpine or another capacity agreement to pick up 34 MW. She confirmed that it
was staff’s recommendation not to fund capital improvements to bring the Units up to current
standards and not to fund these Units beyond the next three (3) years. If the Units began to fail in
the next year or two (2), she stated that the City would have the option to pull the Units out of the
PJM market instead of investing capital into them; however, the City would have to pay for the
capacity and pay a forced outage penalty if the Units went down when scheduled to run. In order
to meet the December 1, 2013 deadline, it was staff’s plan to bid the Units into the capacity auction
for the 2017/2018 planning year at $311per MWd to ensure they do not get called on and the City
recoups the money, as recommended by TEA.
Noting that the City was obligated to keep Units 1 and 2 operating since they have been included in
the auction for the next couple of years, Mr. Slavin questioned if the Units would be revenue positive
to the City based on the assumption that the market does not completely bottom out on the capacity
side. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that they would be revenue positive through Fiscal
Year 2017 based on the analysis. She indicated that if the Units were unavailable to run when
required, the City would be able to decide whether or not to pay for repairs at that time.
Mr. Slavin questioned the net effect on the City’s revenue if it was decided not to keep Units 1 and
2 online beyond 2018. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that staff had only forecasted out to the
2018 PJM year; however, according to Mr. Betts, the replacement capacity costs would define
whether the City was “in the money or not” for those Units.
Página 17
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 14
Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mrs. Mitchell referred to the projected incremental operating costs
indicated on Page 19 of the presentation and indicated her opinion that the $1M amount could
decrease more since staff was currently negotiating contracts.
Staff recommended, for the short term, that Units 1 and 2 not be offered into PJM’s capacity auction
for the 2017/18 delivery year; that a comprehensive analysis be performed that lays out all the
decision options for the City of Dover; that a similar analysis on other parts of the generation
portfolio be completed; and that all supply options be surveyed, including new generation projects
in and around Dover and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) opportunities.
Mr. Perza questioned the future impact on revenues if these Units are shut down, irrespective of how
much it would cost to get the turbines up and running, and how members could make an assessment
and final decision regarding this matter if staff had not planned beyond 2017. Responding,
Mrs. Mitchell stated that one (1) of the factors to consider in determining whether the Units should
be shut down or not would be the capacity auction, as well as the figures received from TEA. She
noted that if the City can obtain the capacity cheaper from Calpine, it may not be advantageous to
keep Units 1 and 2 running. Elaborating, Mr. Betts indicated that there were a lot of “moving
pieces,” one (1) of which was the renegotiation of the NAES Agreement, which may lower operating
costs. The other was whether the City would be able to have Garrison or some other entity buy
replacement capacity, noting that if the City were able to obtain a longer-term offer, it would provide
a benchmark price to compare with the cost to operate the Units. Both of these were on a relatively
“fast track,” which would allow for a longer-term budget analysis for members to review.
Mr. Betts stated that it is an imperfect system. In a dynamic market, no one knows what the energy
prices will be in four (4) years, but the hope is that energy will still be consumed at a consistent rate.
It is known that the capacity market is changing, so staff, including himself, must consider the best
case, examine the alternatives of keeping the Units running, and make projections based on historic
costs versus replacement capacity. It was his opinion that this would be the basis for the estimate
built into the City’s overall operating budget for the utility.
Mrs. Williams questioned whether Mr. Betts had any concern regarding negotiating an agreement
with Calpine since the City incurred great expense and gave land to them. Responding, Mr. Betts
stated that he and staff would do their best to hold Calpine to the terms of the contract, which
provided for at least 50 MW at a cost that was established as the actual construction costs less the
development costs. If Calpine is willing to abide by the contract terms, he believed there could be
an opportunity for negotiation that may be favorable for the City. As a competitive strategy, he
stated that the City should also consider other available capacity. He stated that the City not only
offered the benefit of the land provided to Calpine but can also provide constant cash flow, which
they cannot necessarily get from PJM. He also suggested that the City use its monopoly power as
a water supplier to encourage negotiation.
In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Betts confirmed that Calpine does not have internal “inside the
fence” capacity, which could also effect negotiations. Mr. Betts advised members to consider the
cost and value of the City’s reliability to “island” the City, notwithstanding occurrences in the region.
He stressed the importance of the comprehensive analysis proposed by TEA, and that consideration
be given to the reasons the City is in the municipal utility business, including reliability, costs, and
Página 18
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 15
the attractiveness of the City to outside potential buyers. He stressed that reliability is critical and
if it were desired to bring in a data center, as was discussed in previous years, reliability must be at
99.9%. He stated that, with PJM, there had been huge investments in transmission that was not in
existence 10 years ago. He noted that there are many rules that apply to the City, in regard to
reliability under requirements with PJM and this zone, that have federal implications. The current
environment for reliability is very different than it was 10 - 15 years ago, which should be taken into
account when considering pricing and value for internal versus external generation.
In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that, to his knowledge, the City had not had a negative
cash flow similar to what was projected for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 since contracting with PACE,
approximately 15 years ago.
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that the Units would last as long as the City would be
willing to invest in maintenance, which would depend upon economic feasibility. It was staff’s
opinion that, at this point, maintaining the Units would probably not be in the City’s best interest
financially. Mr. Blakeman stated that prior to his retirement from the City of Dover, approximately
10 years ago, all similar units that were built in 1962 had been retired.
Mr. Betts suggested that a comparison of the costs to operate the Units (capital, operating, and gas)
with the amount purchased through the PJM power grid or TEA, would provide an indication as to
whether the Units should be maintained or not. He suggested that TEA be requested to provide this
information to members for their consideration in making a determination.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendations that, for the short term, Units
1 and 2 not be offered into PJM's capacity auction for the 2017/18 delivery year; that a
comprehensive analysis be performed that lays out all the decision options for the City of Dover; that
a similar analysis on other parts of the generation portfolio be completed; and that all supply options
be surveyed, including new generation projects in and around Dover and Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) opportunities.
[City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, members were provided a memorandum
dated December 4, 2013, from Donna Mitchell, Controller Treasurer - Response to Questions, Utility
Committee Meeting November 25, 2013, relating to this matter, as well as an Outage Status Report -
Week 9, dated November 27, 2013.].
During the Council Meeting, Mr. Lynn stated his objections to the Utility Committee’s
recommendation, explaining his opinion that not offering Units 1 and 2 into PJM’s capacity auction
for the 2017/18 delivery year would be a tacit endorsement of the culture of neglect engendered by
years of Council’s austerity budgets that have artificially kept the City’s tax rates low at the expense
of the City’s necessary infrastructure. He reminded members that, as explained by the City’s
Attorney, Mr. Betts, maintenance for Units 1 and 2 should have been done gradually over time but
was deferred in previous years due to the additional capital costs, which was the reason for the major
$2.4M hit in 2018. Mr. Lynn stated that, unfortunately, that the reality is that many City residents
will soon learn that the bills are now coming due - parks and recreation facilities need to be
demolished as a result of neglect, streets are not being paved, pump stations are aging, etc. Mr. Lynn
Página 19
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 16
noted that the City’s infrastructure was showing the signs of City Council’s decisions to defer
necessary maintenance and the City had failed to provide preventative care throughout the years;
therefore, he stated that he could not support the Committee’s recommendation.
Mr. Dixon moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendations that, for the short term,
Units 1 and 2 not be offered into PJM's capacity auction for the 2017/18 delivery year; that a
comprehensive analysis be performed that lays out all the decision options for the City of
Dover; that a similar analysis on other parts of the generation portfolio be completed; and that
all supply options be surveyed, including new generation projects in and around Dover and
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) opportunities. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and
carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Dixon, Perza, Slavin, Hare, Hutchison, and Bonar), one
(1) no (Lynn), and two (2) absent (Anderson and Williams).
VanSant Generating Station Capacity Increase - Cost/Benefit Analysis
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a Presentation - Cost/Benefit Analysis for City of Dover -
Update on VanSant Generating Station Capacity Increase.
Staff recommended that staff be authorized to continue to proceed with project implementation and
reassess economics after bids for project installation are received and before submitting an offer into
PJM for the 2017/18 capacity auction on May 12, 2014, noting that PJM must be notified of intent
to bid in Units 1 & 2 by March 1, 2014.
Mr. Blakeman questioned whether staff had considered installing a waste heat recovery boiler to
create a combined cycle unit. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that it had been discussed previously;
however, it was not included in the most recent reviews. He speculated that there must have been
a technical or regulatory issue associated with it.
Responding to Mrs. Williams regarding the Indian River Coal Plant, Mr. Koenig stated that it will
have an effect on the market, which may have an indirect effect on the City; however, he was not
aware of the time frame.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation.
[City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, members were provided a memorandum dated
December 4, 2013, from Donna Mitchell, Controller Treasurer - Response to Questions, Utility
Committee Meeting November 25, 2013, relating to this matter, as well as an Outage Status Report -
Week 9, dated November 27, 2013.]
By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams
absent).
Purchase Power Agreement - Calpine
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that staff intends to seek the assistance of
Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, the City’s Energy Attorney, for discussions regarding a mutually
beneficial contract arrangement for the potential Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Calpine.
Página 20
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 17
He stated that this information was provided for informational purposes only and that no further
action was required at this time.
Discussion - Joint Agreement with the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) for New
Generation
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that as a part of staff’s due diligence to examine the
possibilities for replacing the capacity of Units 1 and 2, should they be taken out of service, staff
intends to meet with the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) and/or another partner
they may have, to discuss the potential for joint projects, such as capacity improvements, provided
a Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) with Calpine cannot be arranged. He stated his preference for
keeping the City’s options open moving forward and that he will keep Council updated in regard to
all discussions.
In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that staff would complete financial analyses on all
of the available options, and the potential for DEMEC to own part of the City’s units would be open
for discussion.
Mr. Koenig stated that this information was provided for informational purposes only and that no
further action was required at this time.
Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and
carried with Mr. Lynn voting no.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
NOVEMBER 25, 2013
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on November 25, 2013 with Chairman
Lynn presiding.
Vehicle Purchase/Transfer - Mayor
Police Chief James Hosfelt informed members that the Police Department currently had a new
Dodge Charger, and it was staff’s desire to replace the Mayor’s vehicle with the Dodge Charger and
bring the Mayor’s Crown Victoria back into the Police Department’s fleet of vehicles. He stated that
Crown Victorias were no longer made; therefore, as the City transitions from Crown Victorias to
Dodge Chargers, equipment used in the Crown Victorias would no longer be usable. Chief Hosfelt
stated that staff would like to bring the Mayor’s Crown Victoria back into the fleet while the
equipment needed to outfit the vehicle was still available in the Department. He noted that this
would cost less than equipping the Charger.
Staff recommended approval of the vehicle transfer.
Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mayor Carey stated that there were approximately 20,400 miles on the
Crown Victoria.
In response to Mr. Slavin, Chief Hosfelt stated that, according to normal procedure, the Crown
Victoria would be rotated out of active use when 80,000 - 85,000 miles were accumulated and that
the condition of the vehicle would also be taken into consideration. He advised members that he was
Página 21
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 18
uncertain when this mileage would be reached. Chief Hosfelt stated that this depends on the
serviceability of the particular vehicle, noting that dependable vehicles are used quite often; however,
the average time span for a dependable vehicle to reach this mileage was approximately five (5) to
six (6) years. He reminded members that, unlike State Police vehicles that typically have one (1)
user, City vehicles are used 24/7 by multiple operators.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Chief Hosfelt confirmed that the requested action would save the Police
Department money in the long run as they would not have to buy new equipment for the Charger or
waste equipment that was already available.
In response to Mr. Slavin, Chief Hosfelt estimated that the cost of the equipment that would be
installed in the Charger, if it were outfitted, would be approximately $10,000.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Chief Hosfelt stated that aftermarket equipment would be installed in the
vehicle after the Mayor’s use and would include police inserts used to separate prisoners from the
vehicle operator and light bars.
The Committee recommended acceptance of staff’s recommendation to approve the vehicle transfer
as requested.
During the Council meeting, Mr. Hutchison moved to deny the request, seconded by Mr. Perza.
Prior to a vote, at the request of Mr. Lynn, Mayor Carey explained that when the Mayor became
full-time, the Mayor’s car came from the Police Department and every two (2) to three (3) years, the
car would be transferred back to the Police Department, due to the minimal number of miles put on
by the Mayor. This allowed for the Mayor’s vehicle to be upgraded and gave the police the Mayor’s
used car, which would be like an almost new car. In addition, he reminded members that the vehicle
equipment used by the police could fit on the Crown Victoria; therefore, there would be no
equipment costs.
Police Chief Hosfelt stated that, during the Committee meeting, he was asked about the costs of the
equipment for the vehicle. After speaking with Ms. Robin Adkins, Budget Administrator for the
Police Department, Chief Hosfelt indicated that the cost of the equipment that would be installed in
the Charger, if it were outfitted, would be approximately $18,000, rather than the $10,000 previously
reported.
Mr. Hare indicated his feeling that it would be better for the Police Department to have a new
vehicle.
In response to Mr. Lynn, Police Chief Hosfelt stated his support for the Mayor’s current vehicle to
be transferred to the Police Department.
For clarification, Council President Bonar explained that a “no” vote for the motion would approve
the Committee’s recommendation to approve the Mayor’s request for the vehicle purchase/transfer.

absent (Anderson and Williams).
Request of Elizabeth W. Murphey School - Grant for Judo Mats
Mr. Scott Cook, 256 Holly Hill Drive, Smyrna, advised members that he was a black belt in judo at
the Elizabeth W. Murphey School in Dover, where children and adults are taught the art of judo
through the instruction of Mr. Tommie Little. He noted that this program had begun in April 2013
and the class was expanding. Mr. Cook explained that there were approximately 26 participants
using 20' x 30' mats in the Elizabeth W. Murphey Hall and there was not a great deal of mat space
for practice. Students were required to take turns using mats and he indicated that support was being
sought to purchase additional mats so that students could be trained properly. He noted
approximately six (6) Murphey School residents were involved in the class, as well as one (1) staff
member and the class was continuing to grow. He requested assistance from the City of Dover to
purchase mats for the School.
Mr. Thomas Little, 400 N. DuPont Highway, B-23, explained that he worked at Family Court for
the last eight (8) years and when he moved to the area last March, he received permission from the
Murphey School to use their hall for judo instruction. He noted that he initially purchased mats for
$3,000 and paid $1,200 for gis (uniforms) for the children. He indicated that the class had been very
successful, required no fees, and was open to the entire community, including police agencies. He
expressed the organization’s hope to expand the program.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Cook stated that the cost of a two (2) inch thick, 5' x 10' mat was $239.
Mr. Little stated that10-12 mats were desired.
Mr. Slavin noted that the total cost would be approximately $2,500. He stated that he would recuse
himself from any vote on this request because he had financial dealings with the Murphey School
through his job with the State of Delaware but he would vet this matter with legal counsel to verify
his standing before the request would be considered by Council.
Mr. Hare inquired if it was possible for the City to make a $2,500 donation to the Murphey School.
Responding, Mr. Koenig suggested that perhaps the Council budget could be examined to determine
if there were funds available; however, Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, indicated that there were
not adequate funds within this budget.
Mr. Hare offered to donate $250 and noted that if each Council member donated the same, the
desired amount could be raised.
Mr. Lynn requested Mr. Koenig to provide a recommendation for funding the project at the next
meeting.
Responding to Mr. Lynn regarding the status of a City grant-in-aid policy, Mrs. Donna Mitchell,
Controller/Treasurer, indicated that the City was in the process of developing such a policy. She
noted that the only contributions of this type made by the City each year were going to Kent County
Página 23
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 20
Tourism and the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). She noted that she had drafted a grant-in-aid
policy for the City mirroring the State’s policy and this would be brought forward for the
Committee’s review at a subsequent meeting. Mrs. Mitchell expressed her belief that Council had
adopted policies regarding gifts and donations that would prohibit cash donations and offered to
provide this information to members. She explained that staff was in the process of preparing a
revised Budget Ordinance which was planned for presentation at the next Committee meeting that
would include project funding and budget balance carry-forwards and suggested that funding for this
matter could be incorporated if Council so chose.
Responding to Mr. Lynn regarding whether mats could be provided to the School, rather than a
donation of funds, and if this would comply with the policy, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she did not
believe that this would be in compliance.
In response to Mr. Shevock regarding the existing policy and procedure for grants in aid from the
City, Mrs. Mitchell stated that there was no grant-in-aid policy as yet; however, a gift policy had
been approved by Council some time ago. She indicated that this prohibited cash donations and
stated her belief that permitted donations were limited to items like City flags and shirts.
Mrs. Williams stated her opinion, as an executive of a private non-profit group and as a
Councilwoman, that opening a grant-in-aid type program for private non-profit organizations in the
City would result in the receipt of thousands of applications.
In response to Mr. Lynn regarding the auspices under which the City provides funds to Kent County
Tourism, Mrs. Mitchell stated that these funds were provided to support the Dover Days Festival.
Mr. Lynn inquired why this donation was not a violation of City policy. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell
stated that this had been approved in the past and was incorporated in the City’s budget because it
is a Dover festival.
In response to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig indicated that the City had also provided funds in support of
the African American Festival.
Noting that Mr. Little was a lawyer, Mr. Rushe suggested that Mr. Little reach out to the Kent
County Bar Association for assistance. He offered to speak with Mr. Little after the meeting to
discuss other avenues for assistance.
Mrs. Williams suggested that Kent County Levy Court also be contacted since they have an
appropriate program and do make cash grants. She offered to provide contact information.
The Committee recommended tabling the request until the next meeting so that more information
could be obtained regarding where the money may come from.
During the Council meeting, Mr. Slavin announced that he would abstain from voting on this issue
due to a conflict of interest.

MONTHLY REPORTS - OCTOBER 2013
By motion of Mr. Slavin, seconded by Mr. Hare, the following monthly reports were accepted
by consent agenda:
City Assessor’s Report
City Manager’s Report
City Planner’s Report
Controller/Treasurer’s Budget Report
Economic Development Office Report
Dover Fire Department Reports (April, May, June, July, August, September, and October)
Police Chief’s Report
EVALUATION OF BIDS - CABLE PULLER
Members considered a request for the purchase of a cable puller to replace the aging
2002 Sherman & Reilly equipment. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the
Electric Department has one cable puller typically used every day for installing main electric feeders,
distribution lines, and house services. He explained that cable pullers are similar to bucket truck use
and should be replaced every ten (10) years to minimize break downs and repairs.
Mr. Koenig indicated that the Electric Department had received a quote in January 2013 and
budgeted $125,000 for the purchase of a cable puller. Since then, the cable puller had been
redesigned for proper ergonomics and safety and the last of the vintage models were sold in June
2013. Due to the changes in the design, he explained that the overall cost for the cable puller
exceeded the budgeted amount of $125,000.
Mr. Koenig advised members that two (2) bids were received: 1) Sherman & Reilly; and 2) Condux.
He stated that the specifications were based on the components equal to that of the Sherman & Reilly
cable puller and the City’s specifications were developed based on safety, pulling capabilities, and
operator ergonomics. He stated that the Sherman & Reilly machine was developed to help improve
employee safety and reduce workman’s compensation claims with the use of hydraulic pulling and
lifting devices, including the machines’ ability to maneuver over transformers, pull boxes and
manholes. Prior to writing the specifications, staff evaluated and demonstrated both machines.
Mr. Koenig assured members that the Sherman & Reilly machine met all safety and operational
requirements of the Department. He noted that the Condux machine required additional components
to meet the pulling requirements and that the machine failed the demonstration as the machine bent
while trying to pull the City’s feeder cable. Additionally, he noted that the Condux machine did not
meet all of the City’s safety requirements because it lacked proper grounding components and
US Department of Transportation (DOT) approved lighting.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 22
Staff recommended purchasing the replacement cable puller from Sherman & Reilly for a total cost
of $152,584.
Mr. Lynn moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Perza and carried
by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent).
COUNCIL MEMBERS’ ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mr. Hutchison commended the Police Chief and members of the Dover Police Department on the
efforts taken regarding armed robberies, noting that there is an increase in these crimes during the
Christmas Season.
Mayor Carey thanked the Police Chief and his staff for bringing forward another means of trying to
save the City money (relative to the vehicle purchase/transfer for the Mayor). In addition, Mayor
Carey wished all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Mr. Hare stated that Ms. Diane Glenn, Victim Services with the Dover Police Department, does an
outstanding job.
Council President Bonar echoed the wishes for a Happy Holiday Season and felt that 2014 would
be a challenging year and suggested that the public be expecting a lively debate by City Council
when considering the City’s budget. Regarding the Mayor’s vehicle, he stated that he would support
the Mayor riding in a Suburban but, unfortunately, the City does not have adequate funds. Council
President Bonar reminded everyone that the Council/Committee meetings for the remainder of the
year were cancelled due to the holidays and, since there would be no meetings until 2014, he wished
everyone a Happy New Year.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m.

SPECIAL SAFETY ADVISORY AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
The Special Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on December 9, 2013,
at 3:00 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza,
Mr. Davis and Mr. Keller.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Keller moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously
carried.
Requests for Waivers - Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General
Requirements and Design Standards, Section A - Streets (The Meadow Subdivision): Waiver
of Length of Dead-End Street (Cul-De-Sac) - Jefferson Terrace; and Waiver of Increased
Percentage of Lots on Dead-End Street (Cul-De-Sac) - Jefferson Terrace
Members reviewed a petition to waive subdivision standards, submitted by Penntex, LLC, for
The Meadow Subdivision at Jefferson Terrace. The waivers requested were as follows: 1) Appendix
A - Subdivisions, Article VI, §A15 - Exceed the Maximum Street Length of a Dead-End Street, and
2) Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI, §A15 - Increased Percentage of Lots on Cul-de-sac. The
Conceptual Subdivision Plan permits the subdivision of land totaling 4.23+/- acres into five (5)
parcels for single-family, detached dwellings, with residual land to be known as The Meadow. (The
name of the subdivision is currently proposed as The Meadow; however, the name must be revised.
Within the City of Dover, there is an existing residential subdivision known as The Meadows. A
unique name must be utilized to avoid confusion in emergency response.) The parcel is zoned R-8
(One Family Residence Zone) and R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). This parcel is located west
of Monroe Terrace and south of but not adjacent to Wyoming Avenue.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the
Subdivision Plan proposes an extension of Jefferson Terrace as a public street leading to the west
from Monroe Terrace. The right-of-way would be 60 feet in width. The extension of Jefferson
Terrace is required by the Planning Commission to be a 36-foot paved width before terminating in
the cul-de-sac, which will allow for on-street parking on both sides of the street. Parking would be
prohibited within the cul-de-sac.
Referring to the request for waiver of length of dead-end street (cul-de-sac) for Jefferson Terrace,
Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Conceptual Subdivision Plan proposes a dead-end street
that is approximately 390+/- feet in length when measured from the center line of Monroe Terrace to
the center of the proposed Jefferson Terrace cul-de-sac; however, the length of the proposed
cul-de-sac is 440 feet when measured to the terminus of the street right-of-way. It appears that the
proposed dead-end street (cul-de-sac) exceeds the permitted length of a dead-end street, as indicated
in the limitation of a length of a dead-end street in accordance with Appendix A, Article VI,
Subsection A15 of the Dover Code.
Página 28
SPECIAL SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 2
Staff recommended approval of the request to exceed the maximum length of a dead-end street. The
construction of the proposed extension of Jefferson Terrace terminating in a cul-de-sac is the only
access to proposed residential lots. This is due to the configuration of the existing tract of land, the
existing natural features of woodlands, wetlands, and flood plain areas, and the surrounding
residential development.
Referring to the request for waiver of increased percentage of lots on dead-end street (cul-de-sac)
for Jefferson Terrace, Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Conceptual Subdivision Plan
depicts three (3) proposed lots, or 60% of the proposed five (5) lots in the subdivision, to front on
the turnaround section of the proposed Jefferson Terrace cul-de-sac. This proposed lot percentage
exceeds the maximum of 20% of the lots in a development allowed to front on the turnaround
section of a cul-de-sac, in accordance with Appendix A, Article VI, Subsection A15 of the Dover
Code.
Staff recommended approval of the request to permit more than 20% of lots in a development to
front on the turnaround section of a cul-de-sac. The configuration of the tract of land does not allow
for the inter-connection of the proposed street to another existing street in order to avoid the
cul-de-sac.
Mrs. Townshend stated that, during their meeting of November 18, 2013, the Planning Commission
conducted a public hearing and took action to grant conditional approval for the Conceptual
Subdivision Plan of The Meadow at Jefferson Terrace, including the condition that the paved width
of Jefferson Terrace be set at 36 feet to allow for onstreet parking. The Planning Commission also
recommended approval of the Subdivision Waiver requests to allow the project to exceed the
maximum length of a dead-end street and increase the percentage of lots on the cul-de-sac.
Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend stated that, although the cul-de-sac would be a little
longer than other cul-de-sacs in the vicinity, it was not out of character with the area. With reference
to the map previously provided to members, she stated that the map depicted a street width of
24 feet; however, the map had not been revised to depict the street width change to 36 feet that was
recommended by the Planning Commission. She explained that, in accordance with the subdivision
plan process, if waivers are approved, a revised map will be submitted.
Mr. Perza moved to recommend approval of the Subdivision Waiver requests for The Meadow
Subdivision at Jefferson Terrace to exceed the maximum length of a dead-end street and
increase the percentage of lots on the cul-de-sac, as recommended by the Planning
Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried.
Request for Waiver - Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 17 -
Emergency Access Requirements - Waiver of Emergency Rear Access Requirement for Walker
Woods/Walker Woods II Redevelopment
Members considered a petition to waive the emergency rear access requirements for Walker
Woods/Walker Woods II Redevelopment as required by Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 -
Página 29
SPECIAL SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 3
Supplementary Regulations, Section 17 - Emergency Access Requirements of the Dover Code. The
Site Development Plan Review permits the redevelopment of the site with the construction of 77
garden apartments in 12 buildings (currently, there are 72 townhouse units). The property is zoned
RG-2 (General Residence Zone) and the owners of record are Walker Woods Properties, LLC and
Milford Housing Development Corporation.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that Appendix B, Article 5, Subsection17.5(a) of the Dover Code requires a 16-foot alley or an
18-foot secondary fire lane and an 18-foot sub-grade emergency access lane as emergency access to
the rear building areas for two (2) and three (3) story apartment buildings. She stated that the
applicant requested a waiver for the elimination of these requirements. She explained that the
existing layout provided a 24-foot fire lane across the front side of each building, and the buildings
would be equipped with sprinklers. Members were advised that the Fire Marshal’s Office indicated
no objections to the removal of the rear access requirement for apartments for this project, with the
stipulation that the buildings would be fully sprinklered and would meet the access required by the
State Fire Prevention Regulations.
Mrs. Townshend noted that this type of waiver is received quite frequently and that, after having
discussions with the Fire Marshal, it was staff’s intention to bring forward a Code amendment to
eliminate the need for such waiver requests. She explained that the rear access requirement was
instituted prior to current procedures that mandate sprinkler systems.
Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
waiver for the elimination of the emergency rear access.
Mr. Davis moved to recommend approval of the requested waiver, as recommended by the
Planning Commission, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried.
Update - Dover High School Construction
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, indicated that the
construction of the new Dover High School was moving forward and that monthly coordination
meetings continued. She stated that the City would continue to ensure that the Leander Lakes Project
is well coordinated with the Dover High School Project. She noted that an additional development
project, Dover Christian Church, will be building on the corner property adjacent to Leander Lakes.
In addition, she advised members that the City had been assured that the east entrance to the new
School will be constructed and that the Planning Commission issued a parking reduction waiver;
however, areas will be grassed and curbed to be made available for overflow parking for large
events. She assured members that there were no issues or concerns to report at this point.
Responding to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend stated that the Capital School District had requested the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to construct some of the improvements to the east
entrance in an attempt to help defray those construction costs. In addition, she noted that attempts
were being made to work with local legislators to obtain community transportation funds.

UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee Meeting was held on December 9, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. with Mr. Perza presiding
in the absence of Chairwoman Williams. Members present were Mr. Slavin, Mr. Blakeman,
and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey
was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Blakeman moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Snaman and
unanimously carried.
Service Agreement for the Natural Gas Distribution System in the Garrison Oak Technical
Park (GOTP) - Chesapeake Utility Corporation
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the City of Dover has been acting as the
developer of the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP). As the developer, staff felt it would be
advantageous to offer natural gas service to the various tenants in the industrial park; therefore, the
City has requested that natural gas infrastructure be installed within the technical park so that it is
available to potential purchasers and tenants. Members were provided a standard Service Agreement
submitted by Chesapeake Utilities Corporation which outlines the respective responsibilities of the
City as well as Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. He advised members that the proposed Agreement
has been reviewed by the City Solicitor’s Office and has been amended accordingly.
In accordance with the proposed Service Agreement, Mr. Koenig noted that all costs to install the
required infrastructure will be the responsibility of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation; however, the
Agreement includes a revenue shortfall calculation that the City of Dover would be responsible for
should the revenues from the investment not be equal to or in excess of the initial capital investment
within the first six (6) years after the effective date of the Agreement. He assured members that the
maximum financial exposure to the City of Dover is estimated to be less than $130,000.
Mr. Koenig advised members that the proposed Agreement includes several exhibits, including a plot
plan for the GOTP. Based on conversations with staff, he explained his understanding that the
natural gas for tenants of the GOTP would be extended from White Oak Road through the horseshoe
road network in the subdivision and back out to White Oak Road. At this time, he stated that it is
not intended to be connected to the 16 inch lateral for the Calpine Project. He explained that the
maximum financial exposure ($130,000) assumes that there are no tenants for the first six (6) years
and that this amount would be less whatever gas Uzin Utz would be using as the first tenants to
connect to the distribution system.
Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute the Service Agreement with
Chesapeake Utilities Corporation for the Natural Gas Distribution System within the GOTP.
Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. Koenig stated that Uzin Utz has gone before the Planning
Commission and are working their way through the permitting process. It is their hope to break
ground in March 2014, with the facility opening a year later.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 2
In response to Mr. Blakeman regarding the documents on file with the Public Service Commission
and the six (6) times net revenue test, Mr. Koenig stated that he had not reviewed the documents but
that staff could request the City Solicitor’s Office to review them.
Responding to Mr. Perza regarding the six (6) times net revenue test, Mr. Koenig indicated his
understanding that it is the standard formula used for this type of return on investment. He also
indicated that the net revenue test will be conducted on the final sixth year and not done on an annual
basis. He explained that the “true up” date will be six (6) years after the Agreement and noted that
there is a revenue schedule provided as Exhibit B of the Agreement. Regarding the requirement for
the developer to pay any shortfall amount within thirty (30) days from the time the Company gives
notice that a shortfall has occurred, Mr. Koenig stated that although a one-time payment would be
required, he felt confident that there would be no issues if the City needed to establish a payment
schedule. He assured members that staff would be budgeting any amount that may be required and
making every attempt for no shortfall to occur by acquiring tenants.
Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the
City Manager to execute the Service Agreement with Chesapeake Utilities Corporation for the
Natural Gas Distribution System within the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP), seconded
by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried.
TEA/NAES Report (October)
The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for October 2013 was provided to members to enable them to
monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any
fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reaffirmed that the City’s costs are coming in slightly higher than
anticipated which has been a trend most of the budget year. He stated that staff has reviewed the
budgets, expenses, etc. and that the City’s budget is tight. He noted that page 12 of the report
provided the year-to-date amounts and that, although most items are tracking as anticipated, there
are concerns with the “PJM - ARR, Transmission and Fees,” explaining that the fees are much
higher than anticipated. As a result, staff has been talking with The Energy Authority for the past
several months, as well as relaying the City’s concerns to both the Delaware Municipal Electric
Corporation (DEMEC) and Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, the City’s Energy Attorney.
Mr. Koenig stated that staff expects to submit a report to the committee in January to discuss the
impact of the fees and the cause of the increases. He advised members that there has been an
unanticipated reallocation of costs for two (2) entities that are purchasing power, and since the City
of Dover is one (1) of the entities that purchases power off of the PJM grid, the City is subject to
these fees.
Mr. Blakeman explained the complexity of the PJM billing invoice and questioned if there was some
way of providing a breakdown. He noted that there are 72 items listed and that there are five (5)
PJM related costs for the power supply and three (3) for the plant and requested that they be listed
by budget item. Responding, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that TEA currently
provides the City with a breakdown of the charges by General Ledger accounts. She stated that she
will request TEA to provide members a copy of the breakdown for a better understanding of the bill.

Mr. Slavin moved to recommend acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for
October 2013, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously carried.
UPDATES
Members were provided the following updates:
Calpine Energy Center/Garrison Oak Technical Park Project
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City continues to have weekly meetings
and telephone conference calls with the Calpine Corporation regarding the Energy Center. Currently,
the big items underway are the deliveries, finalization of easements, and alignment of the
transmission lines from the Calpine/Garrison Energy Center back to the 230kV tie (Cartanza
Substation). He stated that the City continues to work on their responsible components of the
infrastructure. Pre-bid meetings were held last week for the water system, gravity sewer system,
pump station force main, streets, and storm sewer associated with the project. It is anticipated that
the bid package will be due during the early part of January 2014. There were approximately 20
contractors who attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting. In order to remain on schedule, he stated
that staff should present the bids to City Council during the second Regular Meeting in January
2014.
Mr. Koenig reiterated that there are numerous large loads scheduled for delivery in December. He
advised members that Calpine has made their Industrial Waste Permit Application to Kent County
and that the City is analyzing the information to determine the best path forward for the wastewater
from that facility. He stated that staff continues to work through normal construction issues and that
the City has finalized the alignment of the 16 inch lateral through the City property and into the
Calpine/Garrison Energy Center and will not be constructing immediately adjacent to or on top of
the water line that was installed a few months ago. He believed that a certificate for construction
was received for the natural gas lateral.
In regard to the Garrison Oak Technical Park, Mr. Koenig stated that the City is continuing to work
through the final land agreement for lot #12 for the Uzin Utz facility and noted that the Planning
Commission granted conditional approval. As a result, Uzin Utz is now making submissions to
agencies in order to move forward with the project. Mr. Koenig reiterated the expectation that
Uzin Utz will obtain a building permit in March 2014, and that construction will take approximately
12 months.
Mr. Koenig explained that the Calpine Energy Projects, the Uzin Utz Project, and the City’s
infrastructure project are all converging on an early 2015 completion.
Dover Sun Park
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that members were provided a spreadsheet - Electric
Revenue Fund, FY14 - White Oak Solar Park Incremental Cost, based on previous requests and
comments. He advised members that the incremental Sun Park cost, from July through October, was
$162,360. He explained that the incremental Sun Park cost reflects the increased cost to the City as
a result of using solar energy, compared to the amount that would have been paid if the City used
regular fossil fuel. He stated that solar energy is necessary for the City to meet the demands under
Página 34
UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 4
the regional portfolio standards. In addition, he explained the importance of understanding that the
production of this 10+ megawatts of solar energy in the summertime reduces the City’s peak demand
in the PJM; therefore, while it is more expensive, it is beneficial to the City.
Mr. Blakeman moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on December 9, 2013,
at 6:00 p.m. with Mr. Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Lynn. Members present were
Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon, and
Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously
carried.
Request of Elizabeth W. Murphey School - Grant for Judo Mats
During their meeting of November 25, 2013, members considered a request of the
Elizabeth W. Murphey School for the City to provide assistance in purchasing Judo mats (10-12
mats at a total cost of approximately $2,500). The committee tabled the matter so that more
information could be obtained regarding where the money may come from.
Mr. Rushe moved to remove the matter from the table, seconded by Mr. Shevock and
unanimously carried.
Mr. Slavin stated that he would recuse himself from discussion or voting on this issue due to his
relationship with the Murphey School through his job with the State of Delaware.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that his preference would be for the City not to become
involved due to concerns of receiving additional, similar, requests. Therefore, he suggested that the
school seek private funding. Should Council wish to grant the request, since there are no available
funds in City Council’s budget, he stated that a portion of the community relations and travel
expense funds in the City Manager’s budget for the current fiscal year could be appropriated to cover
the costs for purchasing the mats. In accordance with City policy a cash donation could not be made,
therefore, he stated that staff would need to review the policy and determine whether the City could
purchase the mats directly and extend them to the Murphey School for either temporary or permanent
use. Should members wish to move forward and approve the request to purchase mats through City
funds, staff recommended that it be charged against the City Manager’s budget for fiscal year 2014.
Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig explained that the City’s current policy prohibits the City
from making cash donations.
Mr. Rushe suggested the possibility of the City providing “matching funds.”
In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig advised members that, in the past, the City has made
contributions to the Fourth of July Committee, Kent County Tourism for Old Dover Days, and the
African American Festival. Regarding the contribution to Kent County Tourism, he explained that
it is considered a “management” fee since they handle advertising, scheduling events, etc. for Old
Dover Days. In regard to the African American Festival, he stated that the City’s contribution had
previously been as high as $15,000, that an amount of $7,500 was budgeted for the current year, and
that the funds were provided as a reimbursement for actual expenses. For several years, he stated
that the City did not provide any funds for the Fourth of July Festival; however, to his recollection,
Página 36
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 2
there were times when the Festival was underfunded and the City provided a donation. For the
current budget year, the Fourth of July Committee had indicated that there was no need for any
donations. He reminded members that the Fourth of July Committee is a City appointed committee.
He noted that the only event that does not have direct City involvement is the African American
Festival, which is a reimbursement. He advised members that for the fiscal year 2012 Budget, staff
had recommended that the funding for the African American Festival be removed; however, these
funds were added back into the Budget by City Council.
Mr. Rushe moved to recommend denying the request to fund the Judo mats, seconded by
Mr. Shevock and carried with three (3) yes (Hare, Rushe, and Shevock), one (1) abstention
(Slavin), and one (1) absent (Lynn).
Proposed Ordinance #2013-18 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2013/14
Members were provided proposed Ordinance #2013-18 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year
2013/14. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the proposed budget
ordinance represents the first amendments proposed and incorporates changes into the FY2013/14
Budget. She noted that the Committee Action Form indicated that the proposed amendments were
reflected in red font; however, the copy of the proposed ordinance included in the packet was
incorrect. As a result, staff provided members with a copy of the proposed ordinance reflecting the
proposed amendments in red font (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, the packet
was revised to include the ordinance as presented).
Mrs. Mitchell briefly explained the proposed amendments, as follows: 1) amends the Beginning
Budget Balances for all Funds; 2) transfers the favorability in the General Fund Beginning Budget
Balance to the Civilian Pension Fund in accordance with policy; 3) amends the Electric Budget for
an unfavorable Beginning Budget Balance by reducing the transfer to the Electric capital project fund
(the capital project fund had a favorable budget balance and was able to accommodate the reduction
in the transfer); 4) amends the Water/Wastewater transfer to the capital project fund for savings in
Engineering wages in accordance with recent Council actions for project design work; 5) amends
the Capital project funds to reflect the audited Beginning Balances and corresponding adjustments
for those uncompleted projects with multi-year construction periods (a separate revised Capital
Investment Plan was provided for review); and 6) amends Grant Funds to reflect programming
changes in the Grants based on information received after the budget was approved.
Referring to the beginning balance amendment in the Governmental Capital Projects Fund (line 143),
Mrs. Mitchell explained that this was the result of several incomplete projects, such as the Calpine
Infrastructure Project and the Street Program from last fiscal year. She stated that line 147,
Contractor’s Contributions, was amended to reflect the $264,800 in escrow for the City to complete
the Westover Subdivision Project. Mrs. Mitchell noted that specifics for the Capital Investment Plan
Amendments have been provided to members. She advised members that the proceeds indicated in
the Water/Wastewater Improvement and Extension Fund Cash Receipts/Revenue Budget (lines 345-
351) were revised mainly due to project carry forwards and the new bond issue since the Calpine
Project was just completed this year. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the revised beginning balance for the
Electric Revenue Fund (line 421) was reduced; therefore, the transfer to the Improvement and
Extension Budget (line 473) was reduced from $5.4M to $4.9 to make up the shortfall in order to
keep the fund within the budget balance requirement of 8%.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 3
Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that the City had put a substantial amount of money in the Electric
Utility Rate Stabilization Reserve in fiscal year 2012 to assist the City during the next three (3) years.
She explained that the revised amounts included in the Community Transportation Improvement
Fund were due to projects that were not known earlier in the year. Similarly, she stated that the
Library Grants and Police Grants Funds were revised to reflect grant monies that have been received
that were not known of earlier in the year. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that the CDBG Fund was
adjusted to reflect the Plan adopted by Council for CDBG which was accomplished after the City’s
Budget was approved. She stated that the After School Program - CJC Grants was also revised since
the grant monies were received after the City’s Budget was approved.
Mrs. Mitchell also reviewed the Capital Investment Plan Amendments and explained that these
amendments were included in the budget amendments for fiscal year 2013/14.
Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-18 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal
Year 2013/14, with the First Reading to be held on January 13, 2014.
Responding to Mr. Slavin’s question regarding the source for the revised budget amount related to
the carry forward balance for the General Fund, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the revenues came in at
approximately $170,000 over budget, with the largest being $109,000 for permits and licenses. In
addition, she stated that the expenses came in $500,000 under budget. She stated that most of the
savings in expenses were the result of attrition. Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that this was a one time
“blip” that occurred and will be filled back in once the vacant positions are filled.
Mr. Slavin moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-18, as presented by
staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a Presentation - Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013 (Attachment #1).
Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statements No. 67 and No. 68 will require the City to report the unfunded liability
on the financial statements. For the funded portion, the City can use the actuarial assumption of
7.0% for the return on investment. However, the GASB requires the City to bifurcate the unfunded
liability and GASB 67 and 68 will require the use of the municipal bond rate, which is approximately
4%. She explained that when a lesser return rate is used, the liability will be raised, as is required
since the City is not fully funded. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting,
Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised that the actuarial assumption is 7.0%, not 7.5% as
stated.)
Mr. Slavin noted that the interpretation of the original GASB requirements regarding the unfunded
liability was the result of some negligence on the part of City Council. He explained that the GASB
67 and 68 are more stringent standards being instituted and that the City will not know the content
of those standards until they are issued. Mr. Slavin stated the difficulty for the City to maintain very
Página 38
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2013 PAGE 4
high quality finances when every few years the standards change and new guidelines are instituted,
with the possibility of additional liabilities for the City. He urged staff to provide a briefing to
members of the Committee and City Council on the new requirements of the GASB 67 and 68 prior
to the implementation.
Mrs. Mitchell advised members that the GASB requires the City to recognize the expense and if the
expense is not funded, a liability is created. She explained that the GASB does not force the City
to fund the expense, but if the expense is not funded, the liability must be recognized.
Mr. Slavin noted that if the City were to choose not to fund the liability, it would likely affect the
City’s bond rating. In addition, Mrs. Mitchell stated that in the long-term, it would affect the City’s
ability to pay those benefits.
Mrs. Mitchell provided members with Supplemental Information - Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013 (Attachment #2) and explained that the information
contained budget to actual reports, which shows the individual budget variances. Noting that the
budget balance for the General Fund is $4.2M (page 3 of attachment #2) and that the unassigned
amount for the General Fund is $3.3M (page 7 of attachment #1), she explained that the difference
is those non-expendable accounts which are the inventory, pre-paids, and the fair value of
investments. She stated that the amount is adjusted for those non-cash items and explained that the
City actually shows the higher number as the budget balance ($4.2M rather than the $3.3M) and she
wanted members to be aware of the reconciliation listed that provides those details.
Mr. Rushe moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned by 6:55 p.m.

Implementation of GASB 63
Government Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 63 – Financial Reporting
of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net
Position
Definitions –
Net Position – The residual of all other financial statement elements presented in a statement
of financial position. (Previously, Net Assets)
Deferred Outflows of Resources – the item meets the definition of an outflow of resources,
but relates to a future period. An example would be a grant provided to a grantee before the
grantee has met the related time requirements. The City had no deferred outflows of
resources as of 6/30/13.
Deferred Inflows of Resources – Governmental funds defer recognition of revenue until
amounts are considered to be available to liquidate the liabilities for the current period.
Therefore, any unavailable revenues from prior periods must be eliminated and reported as
unavailable revenue. The City had unavailable revenue (past due receivables over 60 days) of
$577,437 as of June 30, 2013. The receivables are property taxes, demolitions, grass cutting,
police extra duty, and state grants.
Unearned Revenue – Resources that are received for a future period prior to meeting
eligibility requirements. Examples are property taxes and business licenses received in June
for the following fiscal year. The City had unearned revenue as of 6/30/13

Schedules
Schedules are budgetary reports prepared on a non-GAAP basis. For example, the
City does not budget depreciation expense or compensated absence expense.
The General Fund Budget to Actual report for June 30, 2013 is located in Required Supplementary
Information section of the CAFR, which follows the Notes to the Financial Statements. All other
individual fund Budget to Actual Reports are located in the Supplementary Information section of the
CAFR. These schedules are not required and therefore not required to be audited. We include these
schedules and the auditor’s do review them as they include budgets adopted by City Council.
The Supplementary Information section also includes combining statements. These are financial
statements that combines the individual fund statements. For example, the Special Revenue Combining
Statement of Net Position. This statement combines all the grant funds and the total is reported in the
Financial Statement of the CAFR that the audit opinion is based on.

Changes in Net Assets
Governmental Activities
June 30, 2013
Governmental Activities
Governmental net position increased by $2.1 million. Net revenues of $27.2 million were less than the prior
year by $5.6 million.
The General Governmental Charges for services line item decreased by $1.3 million from the prior year mainly
due to a decrease in donations for the library which accounts for a decrease of $1.8 million. This decrease was
offset by increases in police extra duty fees, court of chancery fees and sanitation fees totaling $.9 million.
Other sources of decreased revenues from the previous fiscal year are attributed to police fines, recreation
income and licenses and permits received totaling $.3 million.
Expenses of $35.6 million reflect an overall decrease of $2.7 million from the prior year. Post-employment
benefits and pension benefit costs decreased by $1.4 million. Other decreases were to library and recreation,
and central services. The increases to expense were in general government, public safety, community and
economic development.
Transfers to the Governmental Funds from the Proprietary Funds increased $2.2 million of which $2.0 million
was contributed towards infrastructure improvements at the Garrison Oak Technical Park. These
improvements are necessary for the construction of the Calpine 305 megawatt electric generating facility.

Changes in Net Assets
Business Type Activities
June 30, 2013
Business-Type Activities
The business-type activities saw a positive change in net position of $8.2 million. Both utilities experienced a decrease
in revenues which resulted in a combined net decrease of $4.2 million. The utilities expenses when combined also
decreased in total by $3.2 million.
The water/wastewater utility had a positive change in net position of $2.0 million. The utility experienced a decrease in
operating income of $0.4 million from the previous year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a
decrease in water, sewer and impact fees, offset by increases in ground water adjustment fees and water tank space rent.
The utility experienced a decrease in personnel and operating expenses of $0.3 million. Non-operating expenses
netted an increase as a result of a decrease in the fair value of the investments and decreased capital contributions.
The electric utility realized a positive change in net position of $6.2 million. The utility experienced a decrease in
operating revenues of $2.8 million from the previous year as a result of a reduction in electric rates resulting from
reduced power supply cost. Operating expenses decreased as well in total by $3.2 million due to lower power supply
cost and a $.5 million decrease in operating expenses. The decreases were offset by an increase in post-retirement
benefits expense totaling $.6 million. Non-operating revenues and expenses reflect a negative result of $1.3 million.
Interest earned on both operating and reserve funds $ .7 million were offset by the interest and fiscal charges of $1.4
million and decrease in fair value of investments of $.6 million. Transfers to the General Fund increased to $10.0 million
from $7.9 million in the preceding year including a $2.0 million contribution towards infrastructure improvements at the
Garrison Oak Technical Park.

General Fund Budget Highlights – Fiscal Year 2013
The Final General Fund Budget incorporated the following changes to the Original Budget. The Budget
Balance carried forward from the prior fiscal year was higher by $1.1 million than was projected. Receipts
had a net decrease of approximately $.1 million. The most significant increases were attributed to police
extra duty fees, property taxes, Garrison Farm rent and Court of Chancery fees. The most significant
reductions of revenue were in intrafund service fees, and civil traffic penalties.
Expenditures were revised to reflect an aggregate increase of $0.3 million. Increases In transfers to the
Police and Employee Pension funds accounted for most of the increased budget expense with slight
increases in code enforcement, police and streets operations budgets. The increases were offset by
decreases in fire, library, recreation, sanitation, customer services, vehicle maintenance and facilities
management. The net result of these changes was a $0.6 million increase in the revised budget balance over
the Original Budget Balance (on a non-GAAP basis).
Actual revenues and other financing sources exceeded the final budgeted amounts in the General Fund for
the current fiscal year. The more significant positive variances were in permits and other licenses, police
extra duty fees and court of chancery fees and were offset by fines and police revenue, transfer tax, trash
fees, miscellaneous grants and civil traffic penalties netting $0.2 million over budgeted revenues.
Expenditures were approximately $0.5 million under budget as a result of several operating departments
experiencing personnel savings. The General Fund budget balance carry forward was $0.8 million higher
than budgeted as a result of the above variances.

ACTION FORM
PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM NO.:
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Works - Facilities DATE SUBMITTED: 1/3/14
PREPARED BY: Sharon Duca, P.E., Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Evaluation of Bids – Library HVAC Maintenance and Repair Contract
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller
EXHIBITS: Exhibit A - Bid Rates and Projected Costs
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $39,400 over three years (projected)
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $31,300 annually within 110-1500-523.30-31 (Library Contractual Services)
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): general fund
TIMETABLE: Contract will be executed following Council approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award the bid to Statewide Mechanical, Inc. in accordance with the rates bid.
The estimated cost of the contract will be $6,450.00 in FY-2014. Staff will complete any required internal
budget amendments to balance the line item budget for the Library.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works maintains blanket contracts with contractors that are required to perform
services for the City through the Department. These contracts are established in accordance with the
purchasing policy. These contracts are often priced as a “time, materials and equipment” type contract and
may exceed $25,000 annually. This contract will provide HVAC maintenance and repair to the new Library
building and includes provisions for regular and emergency call out services.
The Department of Public Works created bid documents and the bid package was advertised to the public as
an Invitation to Bid in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent under Bid
#14-0021PW. Bids were opened on December 17, 2013. The following three (3) contractors submitted bids
for the proposed Library HVAC Maintenance and Repair Contract:
BIDDER LOCATION ANTICIPATED 3 YEAR COST
Summit Mechanical, Inc. Bear, DE $68,295.00
Modern Controls, Inc. New Castle, DE $59,190.00
Statewide Mechanical, Inc. Port Penn, DE $39,400.00
City staff reviewed the bid packages and found them free of math errors and/or discrepancies. The estimated
costs for the proposed contract for FY-2014 (January 14, 2014 to June 30, 2014) is $6,450.00 which
represents a spring servicing of the equipment and 5 hours of each labor rate for possible emergency calls.
The FY-2014 costs will be charged to 110-1500-523.30-31. It is likely that an internal budget amendment will
be needed to cover these costs. The City Manager will work with the Library Director to complete the internal
budget amendment after award of the contract. In conclusion staff recommends awarding the Library HVAC
Maintenance and Repair Contract to Statewide Mechanical Services, Inc.
