Larrivee. (Tax Parcel: ED-00-076.05-01-01.00-000; Planning Reference: AX–21-02; Council District: 1) ADOPTED: JUNE 14, 2021 PUBLIC HEARING/BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS EXEMPTION REPORT - MAY 19, 2021 - INNUS PARKER - 239 GRINDING WHEEL DRIVE Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, City Assessor, provided background information regarding the appeal of the denial of the request for a Disabled Citizen Reduction for Ms. Innus Parker, 239 Grinding Wheel Drive. Mrs. Bundek advised that Ms. Parker’s request was denied because she was not able to submit an award letter from the Social Security Administration stating that she is currently receiving disability benefits. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Bundek stated that Ms. Parker did supply long-term disability documents through Verizon and it states that she must go to the Social Security Administration. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Bundek advised that if Ms. Parker were to provide the award letter from the Social Security Administration, they would be able to give her the exemption for this year. She noted that normally their deadline is May 31st, but they allow for some seniors and those who are disabled to submit as long as it is before the City does their calculations, which would not be until after the Council meeting of June 28th. Once they do the tax calculations, then it becomes adjustments and refunds. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Bundek stated that they do the exemptions based on a yearly tax bill, so if Ms. Parker were to qualify by July 10th, if Council would allow it, they can go back to the July 1st billing, but they would not go retroactive for years.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 5 Mr. Taylor disclosed that Ms. Parker is a family member of his and he would not be voting on this item. Mr. Rocha disclosed that he had been in communication with Ms. Parker. He noted that in her current situation, Kent County does waive or give a discount for tax purposes without social security. He stated that the City’s ordinance has social security written in it, but that it might be an item they could review. Council President Sudler declared the public hearing open. Ms. Innus Parker, 239 Grinding Wheel Drive, advised that she has been on long-term disability since 2008. She asked if Council would reconsider a clause for allowing her to get the deduction based on her current health situation. Ms. Parker noted that she has documentation from her primary care physician that states she is disabled. Mr. Rocha asked if they made a change to the ordinance, what type of impact would it have as far as the City’s tax base for defendants that are in Ms. Parker’s condition. Mrs. Bundek stated that they could contact Kent County and get a list of all of their applicants, but she was not sure if they put them in a category on why they are disabled. Mr. Rocha stated that he did not realize that Kent County gave discounts to anyone less than 100%. Mrs. Bundek noted that she believed the person could have a doctor’s note saying they were a 100% disabled and have a veteran’s disability. Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Ms. Parker stated that her hearing with Social Security was scheduled for the following afternoon. Ms. Parker noted that Social Security usually sends out a letter, but did not think that they would tell her right away because it is with a judge. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mrs. Bundek stated that every year the citizens have to come in and provide an updated award letter or they will not be approved. She noted that as long as it is an award letter from Social Security, they would be approved. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mrs. Bundek stated that they could hold off, pending the result of the hearing. She advised that if Council would direct her to wait and if Ms. Parker receives the letter by a certain date they can make an adjustment to her tax bill. It is usually about $200 depending on what the tax rate is and it takes $50,000 off the value of her home. She noted that if Ms. Parker makes the payment, if it does not happen before July 31st, they can make the refund as long as Council directs it. Mr. Lindell moved to delay the consideration for a month until they receive that letter. The motion failed for the lack of a second. Mrs. Bundek asked for clarification that if Ms. Parker did not provide the award letter, then it would be denied and would not be brought up until next year. Mr. Lindell stated that if Ms. Parker gets the letter they could handle it at another meeting. Mrs. Bundek stated that if Council wants it to come back to another meeting, she would not be available after the next meeting in June.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 6 Mr. Neil suggested that the motion be for sending it back for six months until January 1, 2022. Mr. Hare stated that they did not need to go back on the item and to give it to Ms. Parker. He stated that if she does not have the letter by January 1st, then they have to revisit it. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Sudler declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Neil moved to the delay the decision until January 1, 2022 on the case to permit the receipt of a social security decision. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell. Mr. Anderson stated that if Ms. Parker does not get the letter by January 31st, then she will get a tax bill, but if she provides that letter, then they will make an adjustment and give a refund. Mr. Neil moved to the delay the decision until January 1, 2022 on the case to permit the receipt of a social security decision. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried with Mr. Taylor abstaining.

Motion carried 4-0 Farm Land Exemptions Farm Lands LP Locations: Exempt Request: 43 AC Wyoming Mill Road $995,900 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS A request for farmland exemption was submitted to the Assessor's Office.

Representing Farm Lands LP was McKenzie Peet. Ms. Peet told the board that her clients are currently taxed on the farm land on Wyoming Mill Road and are asking for a farmland exemption. She provided pictures showing that the land is currently farmed. The Assessor pointed out that another piece of property located within the City of Dover city limits and owned by Fam Land LP was already classified as tax exempt. After being asked by Mr. Stonesifer what the staff recommendation is, Mrs. Bundek explained that the land falls within the guidelines of Farmland and should therefore be approved. Mr. Junge was asked by Chairman Garfinkel what his legal opinion was. Mr. Junge said that he sees no issue with the application since the land was farmed. Mr. Burns questioned why this piece of land currently taxed and not exempt? Mrs. Bundek explained that the owner had not applied for an exemption with the City until now and was also currently taxed by the county, even though the company had owned this parcel since 2013. Mrs. Bundek also pointed out that the exemption

Exempt Requests Central Delaware Housing Collaborative Locations: Exempt Request 731 W Division Street $ 112,000 801 W Division Street $ 296,200 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request for the above referenced properties was submitted to the Assessor's Office. Both properties were purchased August 2019 and will be used as a Woman's Homeless Shelter. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Present for the hearing were Ms. Bradshaw, Chair and Mr. Merchant, Director. Ms. Bradshaw started by telling the board that the Central Delaware Housing Collaborative was an initiative started by the Mayors Blue Ribbon committee to end the homelessness in the City of Dover. The organization wanted to help homeless woman without children, because Dover already had two existing homeless shelters for woman with children. The organization acquired the property located at 801 W Division Street and opened its doors to homeless woman in 2020. The goal of the organization is to prepare the woman for permanent housing, as some

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 9 can leave the shelter and move into permanent housing, others are not and are then transitioned form the shelter into the transition home located at 731 W Division Street and then into permanent housing. Chairman Garfinkel asked what the properties were used for in the past. Mr. Merchant explained that they were owned by an organization called "Aid in Dover" and were used as a shelter for youth. The Assessor told the board that the property used to be exempt from property taxes but were put back on the tax roll during the Exemption Audit because they were no longer occupied. Mr. Junge asked when the organization was formed? Ms. Bradshaw explained that it was formed in 2018 and was started by the Mayors initiative to end the homelessness in Dover. Mr. Burns was wondering how many women were able to be housed by the shelter. Mr. Bradshaw said that the shelter can house 16 women but due to COVID restriction there were currently only 10 women in the shelter. Mr. Merchant explained that the women remain under case management for a year after they leave the shelter. Mr. Junge explained that the organization falls under a charitable organization, which means that it is optional for the Board to grant the exemption. Mr. Stonesifer made the motion to approve both properties for the exemption. Mr. Burns seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 10 St. Nicholas Ukrainian Orthodox Church Location Exempt Request 870 Forest Street $699,700 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor's Office. This property was purchased by the Church in November of 2017. Per the application, this is the only Orthodox Church in Kent County and is also home to the only Gambler's Anonymous Group outside of New Castle County. If this exemption is approved, it is requested that the exemption be retro-active to July 2020 billing. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Father Steven Hutnick, pastor at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Orthodox Church was present for the hearing. He told the board that the church purchased the property in 2017. He also mentioned that the church is home to the only Gamblers' Anonymous Group outside New Castle County. Father Hutnick said that due to the pandemic the church has not been able to have any fundraisers. Mrs. Bundek advised the board that this exempt request would also be retro-active to the tax billing of 2020. Mr. Stonesifer pointed out that there are two buildings on the property and asked what the building in the back of the property was used for? Father Hutnick told the board that the building is currently vacant but had been used as a daycare in the past. He pointed out that the church was currently looking to rent the building out to another daycare provider for approximately $3000 a month. Mr. Hutnick explained that the building in the back of the property was separate from the church and that he was only requesting the exemption for the church. The Assessor pointed out that the two buildings were located on one parcel. Chairman Garfinkel asked the board members if they should request the financial statements from the church to make sure they were not making a profit on the future rental property. Mr. Junge believes that the portion of the property used for income should not be exempt.

Página 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 11 Mr. Stonesifer agreed, he pointed out that the board had similar cases come before them and they had decided that in such cases the portion of the property generating income would not be exempt from property taxes. The board agreed unanimously that the percentage of the building generating income needed to be separated from the church. When asked by the board members what the best way would be to divide the two parcels, Mrs. Bundek said that she could take the portion of the building and part of the land around the building and create a separate parcel for taxing purposes. This would be done after the hearing, at which time she would notify the board with the taxable square footage of the broken-out portion of the property. Mr. Junge was concerned and suggested for the appellant to get an appraisal done that would show the values of the parcel split, because the City may not be able to defend the new values if this was done by the Assessor, should this go to court. Father Hutnick assured that the church would not take this matter to the courts. He asked the board to come up with a fair solution. Mrs. Bundek was concerned about the time it would take for the appellant to get an appraisal done. Chairman Garfinkel proposed to keep the hearing open until an appraisal can be provided. Father Hutnick mentioned that both the church and the daycare would be using the parking lot. Mr. Stonesifer explained that those concerns would be addressed by the appraisal. Mrs. Bundek told the board that the appraisal should only consist of the break down of the property and not the value, since the city has already assessed the property. Mr. Stonesifer disagreed, in his opinion the appraisal should include the appraised amount for the buildings. The Assessor suggested breaking out the building only because the church also uses the parking lot as mentioned by the Father. Chairman Garfinkel asked Mrs. Bundek if she could break out the building and the land.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 12 Mrs. Bundek explained that the software would allow her to create a separate parcel for tax purposes only. Father Hutnick agreed with the way the Assessor proposed to calculate the taxes for the daycare. Mr. Stonesifer moved to tax the square footage of the daycare and the land beneath it and for the rest of the property to be exempt based on the Assessor's calculations to be retro-active to the tax year 2020. Mr. Burns seconded the motion. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. Motion carried 4-0. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent).

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Mr. Tretina, Chief Financial Officer for Bayhealth Medical Center Inc. was present for the hearing. He told the board that this building was used for internal billing, finance and administrative purposes.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 13 Mr. Garfinkel asked the Assessor what her recommendations were? The Assessor said that since the building is used by the Bayhealth organization and was not rented to any other organization, she would recommend the exemption be approved. Mr. Stonesifer made the motion to approve the exemption which was seconded by Mr. Davis. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed. Motion carried 3-0 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Board of Assessment Appeals’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent).

Disabled Citizen Reduction Appeal Parker Innus Location Reduction Request 239 Grinding Wheel Road $50,000 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS An appeal was submitted to the Assessor's Office. Ms. Parker submitted application to be considered for the "Disabled Citizen Tax Reduction". Her request was denied because Ms. Parker was not able to submit an "Award Letter" from the Social Security Office, stating that she is currently receiving disability benefits, as requested on the "Disabled Citizen Property Tax Reduction Form" provided by the City of Dover Assessor's Office and per our City ordinance (Sec 102-184). RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed. Mr. Parker was present for the hearing. She told the board that she has been on long term disability with her previous employer and is no longer able to work.

Página 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 15 The appellant explained that in her opinion the disability requirement for Long Term Disability mirror the requirement for Social Security disability. She explained that she went though a series of doctor's exams and evaluations to be awarded Long Term Disability. Ms. Parker asked why people that are not listed disabled through the Social Security Administration were not able to receive the property tax reduction. She told the board that she was able to get the disability reduction with the county and asked if the board would be willing to give her the reduction for the City of Dover taxes with the Long-Term Disability she was receiving. Chairman Garfinkel asked Ms. Parker if she had applied for disability through Social Security, she told him that she was scheduled for a hearing in June. Chairman Garfinkel asked if she had ever received an award letter from the Social Security Administration. Mr. Parker told him that she had not received an award letter from the Social Security Administration but does have a note from her doctor. Chairman Garfinkel pointed out that the city code requires an award letter from the Social Security Administration to be able to receive the reduction. He pointed out that only City Council can approve changes to the city code after Ms. Parker asked whom she should talk to get the requirement changed and to present her case. Chairman Garfinkel suggested Ms. Parker start by meeting with the Chair for the Legislative & Finance Committee. Mrs. Bundek explained that in 2008 an Ad-Hoc committee was formed to look into a property tax reduction for the disabled, because the City was only granting reductions to Seniors. She told the board that the committee consisted of one councilman and several members of the community. This committee recommended to council that only citizens with a 100% disability through the Social Security Administration would be able to apply for the reduction. Mrs. Bundek told Ms. Parker that this was the reason she had not been able to qualify for the reduction, that her office must go by what the code states. She also explained that the county had different qualifications than the city. Mr. Junge agreed that the law is the law and that the Assessor's office had to go by what the law said. Ms. Parker explained that she was under the impression, that by coming before the Board of Assessment Appeals, she could appeal the Assessor's decision to deny her application.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 16 Mrs. Bundek explained that going before the board would be her only way for her to appeal the Assessor's decision and that the board would make recommendations to Council. Mr. Stonesifer made the motion to deny the appeal, which was seconded by Mr. Davis. Motion carried 4-0. Mrs. Bundek informed the appellant, that the City Council has the final decision and that a certified letter with the date of the Council Hearing would be mailed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 17 Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated that there were no ARP funds included in the utility accounts but that there may be an opportunity to use some of the funds for this if it could relate to clean drinking water and infrastructure improvements. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lyon stated that there had been an emergency repair at Lincoln Park but the project was completed before the road was re-paved about two years ago. He stated that Water/Wastewater had repaired about two hundred feet of sewer pipe that had collapsed at that location. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lyon stated that the Denny’s Road project had been budgeted in Fiscal Year 2021 and he believed the approximate cost was $3.2 to $3.4 million. He noted that they were considering a 1 million gallon tank to increase pressures in that area, as well as potential capacity for future development. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lyon stated that the projects known as Stonebrook East and West were built and currently had capacity. Responding to Mr. Harline, Mr. Lyon stated that through the half point of the Fiscal Year, Dover had received two times as much rain as the previous year, which had caused a delta. He stated that the City could decrease the groundwater fee if it could get everything tightened up which would mean cheaper rates for constituents. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:31 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding.

Evaluation of Bids - Fiscal Year 2021 Street and Alley Program Ms. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Fiscal Year 2021 Street and Alley Program. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Grassbuster’s Landscaping, for the City of Dover FY 2021 Street and Alley Program, Bid #21-0034PW, for the amount of $713,294. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Duca stated that based on Public Work’s current

Página 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 18 evaluation, the sections in question would not involve any tree work and Grassbuster’s Landscaping had done the 2019 street program and was qualified to do concrete and asphalt work. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Ms. Duca stated that Public Works had received seven bids in total for the project. She stated that some of the bids were close in range but there was a range of almost $300,000 between the bids overall. Responding to Councilwoman Arndt, Ms. Duca stated that the problem with North Bradford Street was that the trees were impacting the roadway in certain areas, so it would need a more detailed review to see if paving would impact a future design of North Bradford in regards to preserving the trees. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Duca stated that Public Works had not moved forward on any action with Conwell Street but that they could investigate the matter further to come up with a plan. She stated that Raymond Street was supposed to be extended as part of a proposed development which was being analyzed through that development for its dedication to the City. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Duca stated that she believed the development would be apartments and the proposed access is through Mishoe and Raymond Street. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Duca stated that she was referring to a new development behind Mishoe Towers. She stated that Raymond Street extended down to the railroad tracks and there was another road or paper street that extended north into the property in the back which is where access is planned. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Duca stated that the procurement manager ensures that the invitation to bid is sent out to minority and women owned businesses. She stated that in terms of Dover business there was one bid but it was about $300,000 more than the low bid. Ms. Duca stated that the City does not ask for information regarding the diversity or makeup of a company. Mr. Anderson stated that minority businesses are able to submit that kind of information which would give them about a 3% preference in the bid. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Duca stated that the incentive was included in the bid package. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Ms. Duca stated that in addition to looking at road ratings, Public Works was also doing road repairs following sewer main work. She stated that it would take approximately one year after that work had been done and settled to repair the roadway. Ms. Duca stated that they were also dealing with roads with extreme maintenance issues where the amount of material being used on maintenance made the road repair a priority. She stated that they would be

Página 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 19 reevaluating the road ratings in the near future to view all roads as equal rather than based upon traffic that was involved on the roadway. Mrs. Arndt stated that both she and Mr. Neil had received concerns from constituents specific to the North Bradford project. She noted that the North Bradford Street residents were unaware of the tree removal project. Mrs. Arndt advised that the street scape project on South Bradford Street was well received due to the door to door interactions and workshop at the library to make the residents aware of which trees would be impacted. She suggested that a similar process be conducted for the North Bradford Street residents. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Duca stated that since the project came in under budget she would like to save some funds in case there was an overage, but they also have the ability, based on the way the bid and purchasing policy were written to increase it by 25% if they wanted to add additional streets. She stated that there was also the possibility that they would need some of the project to do some engineering design with some of the street program in the future. Ms. Duca stated that it would stay in holding for street related projects or needs. Mr. Sudler moved that Council instruct Ms. Duca to move forward with an investigation in regards to Conwell Street as to how to get the road repaired and/or to get it dedicated to the City through the County as soon as possible. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent). Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to award the contract to Grassbuster’s Landscaping, for the City of Dover FY 2021 Street and Alley Program. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent). Evaluation of Bids - North Bradford Street Tree Removal Ms. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the North Bradford Street Tree Removal. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Asplundh Tree Expert, LLC, for the City of Dover North Bradford Street Tree Removal, Bid #21-0035PW, for the amount of $122,015.80.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 20 Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Duca stated that one of the big issues with this project was making the street ADA compliant. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Duca stated that the tree replacement was evaluated by City staff and there were six different species selected because of the amount of space available on Bradford Street between the curb and sidewalk. She advised that it was also proposed that they be planted with root deflectors to help them flourish in the future and avoid future issues with ADA compliance. Ms. Duca noted that the selected trees would be shown to the public as the options available for the tree replacements and would most likely be planted in the fall season because it was the best time for planting new trees to help them establish. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Duca stated that the project could be delayed; however, they would need to determine how much longer the contractor that currently had the Fiscal Year 2020 street program would be able to maintain their prices. She advised that even if it was not within the time frame, projects could be rescheduled into a different year to allow more time for public input and possibly additional design. Mrs. Arndt moved to refer the North Bradford Street tree removal project back to staff for recommendations on public engagement and design improvements and move in line with the South Bradford Street project. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent). Review of General Fund Fees for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis for the General Fund Fees for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget. Staff recommended directing Staff to include rate increases in the FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Harline stated that there were an average of 318 police false alarms within the City in Fiscal Year 2019-20. Mayor Christiansen asked that staff consider increasing the fines for malfunctioning and automatic fire alarms on behalf of the Fire Department. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Harline stated that the projected shortfall for Fiscal year 2022 would be about $450,000. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Harline stated that the City had never tried to make this a full enterprise fund before, meaning they had never set the rates at a level to cover all of the costs, which is what they were attempting now. He noted that the last

Página 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 21 time the fees were increased were in Fiscal Year 2017-18. Mr. Harline advised that by 2023 the City would take in more money than the cost to provide the service. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Harline, referring to the Proposed Sanitation Rates, stated that the City could hold the fees for the 300 gallon service rather than lowering them and raising them again in the future. He advised that they were intentionally bringing the mobile home rate even with the residential rate. Ms. Duca stated that the largest cost overall was the tipping fee for the waste. She advised that parts of commercial services do not receive all of the same services as the residential. Ms. Duca explained that they were trying to get more equity in terms of the actual services received as well as the volume of waste received from different types of customers. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation of the proposed sanitation rates except for the proposed decrease for Fiscal Year 2022 for the 300 gallon service rates, which should remain at the Fiscal Year 2021 rate. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent).

Review of Bike Friendly Community Status Mrs. Lisa Chase reviewed the application process for renewing the City of Dover’s Bronze Bike Friendly Community Status. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Chase stated that the City was looking to retain its Bronze status. She advised that it would be unrealistic to try to achieve Silver status at this time but that may be a possibility in four more years. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mrs. Chase stated that the cost to complete the application would be between $750 and $1,000. Mayor Christiansen stated that the application would be covered by the Parks and Recreation budget or the City Manager’s budget. Mr. Neil moved to cover the cost of the application for the bike-friendly community status from the Parks and Recreation budget up to $1,000. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote ( Boggerty, Rocha, and Taylor absent).

Página 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 23 Mr. Neil stated that he felt the mobile substation would not need to have a large police sign on it due to the fact that it could be used for many things in addition to community policing. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Chief Johnson stated that the vehicle would have a police presence, probably more than one, at all times. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that they envision a lot of options and different services would be provided by the mobile substation. Mr. Taylor shared photos of a building available for lease for a potential police substation. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.

The city has determined that additional help is needed to create both the reality and perception of adequate health and safety so that Dover can realize its potential; and WHEREAS, to make the City of Dover a safer and more efficient community and thus a very attractive location for residency, business and tourism, the City plans to implement a comprehensive outdoor wireless camera network throughout the city; and WHEREAS, studies have shown in other cities that have wireless camera networks throughout strategic locations, the reports of criminal activity have decreased, as the cameras act as effective deterrents to potential criminal activity; and WHEREAS, the camera package will include a total of forty camera clusters with 360-degree view. The first twenty will be located in community park areas, and twenty more will be located in other "at-risk" locations throughout the city; and WHEREAS, the City's Police Department desires to implement a vendor supplied enhancement that provides access to cooperating public and private video source points. This process could include corporate partners, private residences, and other governmental camera locations throughout the city to bring additional system capability. This expanded network of camera locations will help identify demands for city services and help the Dover Police Department detect criminal activity more quickly; and WHEREAS, the wireless camera locations throughout the City of Dover will provide real-time situational awareness to city officials charged with providing critical services. This group includes, but is not limited to: Public Works, Parks, Police, Electric and Sanitation. The city's public parks are especially vulnerable, as they are disproportionately visited by children and seniors for both recreation and exercise; and

Página 27

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2021 PAGE 27 WHEREAS, the Senate Appropriations Committee through a Fiscal Year 2022 Congressionally Directed Spending Request process, has made available funding for which the City of Dover and its Police Department can apply to aid in potentially funding this security equipment, which furthers the City's commitment to make Dover as safe as possible for its citizens and visitors, and help the city realize its full potential. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover, Delaware, that the City Manager or his designee be authorized to submit a Fiscal Year 2022 Congressionally Directed Spending Request Application for the Police Department's Outdoor Wireless Camera Network. ADOPTED: JUNE 14, 2021 FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2021-15 Council President Sudler reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available on the City's website at www.cityofdover.com under "Government," or by contacting the City Clerk's Office at 736-7008 or cityclerk@dover.de.us. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting of June 28, 2021. Mr. Matthew Harline, Interim City Manager, advised that the budget was originally proposed at $161,540,000 and it was a significant increase, largely due to capital increases over the previous year’s budget. He stated that they have cut $1.5 million to get down to a $0.02 property tax increase that would allow them to pass a balanced budget. Mr. Lindell requested a list of all the cuts that were being made. He expressed his concerns regarding deferring maintenance. Mr. Lindell noted that the large transfer they received should go to one-time expenses and replacing some of the outdated items to be more cost-efficient. Mr. Harline stated that he could get that list. Mr. Anderson stated that the tax increase should not happen because of the time that can be bought while they deal with the structural issues. He noted that there may need to be a tax increase in the future to make sure they cover public safety or there may not. Mr. Anderson stated that they will not know until they have the chance to see how things play out. He noted that he did not think it was a good thing to put more of a burden upon them this particular year. Mr. Anderson moved to refer Proposed Ordinance #2021-15 to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting scheduled for June 15, 2021. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: Ordinance #2021-15 Fiscal Year 2021/2022 City of Dover Budget Ordinances
