REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
The Regular Council Meeting was held on February 27, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Acting Council
President Williams presiding in the absence of Council President Leary. Council members present
were Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Russell, Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hare, and

OPEN FORUM
The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting.
Acting Council President Williams declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present
that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action.
Mr. Gerald Rocha, 523 Schooner Court, yielded his time to Pastor Gregory Gordon.
Pastor Gregory Gordon, 54 S. New Street, expressed his concerns regarding the relationship of the
Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), area merchants, and the City’s Economic Development Office
(EDO) and about the possibility of separating the DDP and the EDO. He felt that Mr. Ed Perez,
Project Coordinator in the EDO, has played a key role in holding these entities together.
Pastor Gordon explained that, as a volunteer, he had observed Mr. Perez working with and assisting
merchants, shoppers, citizens, and residents of the downtown area.
Pastor Gordon relayed additional concerns regarding the lack of availability of local jobs. He
advised members that he is acquainted with many skilled laborers, masons, plumbers, welders, etc.,
all of whom remain unemployed, despite many construction projects occurring in the downtown
area. He recommended that the City’s bid process be revised to consider of the number of
individuals that the contractor plans to employ from the City. Pastor Gordon assured members that
he has the background and employees to assist the City, explaining that the people he represents do
not want a “handout;” they want to work. He commended the Police Department for improvements
made to the New Street area and noted that there is much more work to be done.
The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

Certificate of Congratulations - 2011 Dover Post Great Person of the Year: Herb Konowitz
Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, read the following Certificate of Congratulations into the record:
CERTIFICATE OF CONGRATULATIONS
The Mayor and Council of the City of Dover
take great pleasure in honoring
Mr. Herb Konowitz
for being chosen as the winner of the prestigious
2011 Dover Post Great Person of the Year Award
which is awarded to individuals
who have made a difference in the lives of others.
We are pleased to recognize Mr. Konowitz for his past service and
continued dedication to the local community.
With gratitude and best wishes for the future.
February 27, 2012
Mayor Carey presented the Certificate to Mr. Konowitz and relayed appreciation for the work he has
done for the betterment of the community. He noted that, due to the efforts of Mr. Konowitz, many
citizens have been taken off the streets, were provided mentoring, and have found jobs.
Mr. Konowitz expressed his appreciation for the recognition and read the following statement into
the record:
“Mayor Carey, Pres. Leary, City Council Persons and friends, thank you for this
award you have bestowed on me as the Great Person of our community for 2011. I
am humbled standing before you with that title, but I accept it not only for me but
with those persons who are helping turn around our great city of Dover and the rest
of Kent County.
About 5 years ago we had an emergency in this city due to extremely cold
temperatures. The House of Pride, through their leader, Marian Harris, tried to
accommodate the sleeping requirements of many homeless men who showed up on
their doorsteps. Although the House of Pride owned numerous, and somewhat
dilapidated, houses on New Street, they did not have enough space, so Marian took
Página 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 3
it on herself and got 3 yellow school buses delivered to her properties. She had them
located behind the houses, equipped them with electric heaters, and accepted
homeless men for residency. Marian made these men somewhat comfortable and fed
them. I don't think you know what it feels like when you are trying to stay warm in
sub 20 degree weather.
It didn't take long for some of the owners on New Street to complain to the City of
Dover. The House of Pride was found in violation of their conditional use permits
and was told to remove the buses. All of these homeless men were back on the street.
God outstretched his hand and found Pastor Cox of Christ Church; Jeanine Kleimo,
our present Chair of the Dover Interfaith Mission; a retired Presbyterian Minister
from New York, Pastor Lee McCallum; and others. They assembled some leadership
and opened the meeting room of Christ Church to these abandoned homeless men.
The rest is history, about which I know some of you are familiar.
I don't want to make light of it, but the men were housed in many of our churches
during the winter, sometimes for a week and some for as much as a month. The
outpouring of help was unbelievable. Church and synagogue members brought in
food every night. The idea of a permanent shelter began to take place and
approximately one and one half years ago, through the help of so many people, we
were able to renovate a building that now houses 36 previously homeless men. To
date, as you know, we have housed and fed over 700 homeless men, 365 days a year.
Over 60% of these men have found employment. Last year we served over 12,000
plates of food with a food budget of zero. We are supported by over 47 faith
community facilities by over 1000 volunteers. We are supported by local grants, a
small state grant, contributions from individuals, some corporations, and, especially,
some of our largest churches. Our operating budget is about $100,000 per year. We
are able to do this because we have only two paid staff. The rest of us are
volunteers. We would not be successful if it were not for the dedication of
Mrs. Jeanine Kleimo, our Chair, last year's recipient of the Governor's Volunteer
Award and, last year's Great Person Award winner for 2010; our Treasurer, Walter
Bagley; our most dedicated intake manager, Cathi Kopera; and 15 other board
members, including your own Sophia Russell, our newly re-elected councilwoman;
and my moral supporter and wife of 53 years and a Dover Interfaith volunteer,
Linda. Mayor Carlton Carey, Senators, Carper and Coons, and State Senator
Brian Bushweller and Representative Daryl Scott have been right there from the
beginning. I can't tell you how much support we have received from these people.
This year the community spoke through the Dover Post and an election was held with
the following results: Herb Konowitz, received the most votes; board member and
Capital school board member, Brian Lewis, was next; our own Cathi Kopera, next;
former Kent County Levy Court Commissioner, and my friend Paul Davis, next; and
another board member and our assistant treasurer Kathy Lessard, next. Four out of
five top vote getters were from the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. I ask them
to rise for a round of applause.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 4
I accept this award not for me but for all of us. This is not about me.
As you are aware, we have recently experienced an inordinate amount of crime in
our city. I am here to tell you that this will be reined in. Through the leadership of
the Greater Dover Committee we have assembled the leaders who can make
decisions. We have organized a Task Force that is analyzing the area from Division
Street to Kent General Hospital, from the St. Jones River to just over the railroad
tracks. A survey is being conducted by the City of Dover police force, under the able
leadership of Chief Hosfelt. The patrolmen are in the process of going door-to-door
and distributing these surveys.
As soon as they are picked up and analyzed we will proceed with making many
changes to our city, such as additional lighting in key areas, and enforcing the
neighborhood watch program. You are already seeing a greater concentration of
our police force on the streets, and the crime has diminished.
The Downtown Dover Partnership has also stepped up to the plate. These leaders
are leading. The Bayard Hotel has been leveled and a modern residential and retail
facility is rising from the rubble. The Dannemann building, this week, has been
leveled. Some of the old Loockerman Street buildings have been purchased and are
in the process of being renovated and will be ultimately occupied by businesses that
are in demand by the people of Central Delaware. Land for a beautiful commons
and additional parking has been purchased with a state grant.
Streets around Wesley College will be closed to vehicular traffic making the campus
more beautiful and safer for the students. Soon Wesley College will be renovating
and occupying the Frear Building with their Nursing School. The transportation
depot has been completed and has become more accessible to so many workers.
The City of Dover is On The Move. However, we must continue to accommodate the
250 to 300 homeless people in our area. I envision a campus facility to house, not
only the homeless men, but also the homeless women and children. There is a
tremendous need for a detoxification center for those whom are addicted to alcohol
and drugs. Until we address these problems we will be stymied.
Plans are being formulated. The only permanent detoxification center in Delaware
is located in Delaware City. One must have pull to get in. The center that was
previously located in Ellendale, in Sussex County, was closed.
A recent development has occurred. Those suffering from alcohol addiction, after
being treated in a permanent detox center, can be given an injection of Vivatrol,
monthly, to eliminate the desire for a drink. We have tested it with two of our clients,
and it is successful. There is hope for the future. Can you imagine what we can
accomplish with those suffering from alcoholism? The Downtown Dover
Partnership and the Greater Dover Committee have the vision we need to keep
Central Delaware on the move.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 5
I would like to just take a couple more minutes to tell you of the successes
experienced by some of our guests: At Christmas time the employees of Vaughn
Correction appeared at the Shelter and presented 30 gift cards for our men to show
that DOC [Department of Corrections] appreciates the help they have been given in
placing ex-offenders in a safe environment while trying to acclimate themselves back
into the community.
You never know who may show up at our door. Some time ago 2 long lost cousins
were reunited after 15 years. One from California. The other from Florida. They
were too busy getting caught up, they hardly bothered to eat.
A student from Wilmington College, who is writing a paper for one of her classes,
came to observe and help serve dinner. She visited with some of the men, after which
she came and asked Cathi Kopera if she could come back at a later date to be a
volunteer. Like most people she has this stereotype idea. Her whole idea of
homeless has changed. She thought she would be nervous but instead felt very
comfortable and found it to be a very warm and loving atmosphere - like a family.
During the prayer circle she said," I felt like crying, the men are so grateful and
appreciative of all you do for them.”
One day I accompanied one of our men to a job interview, as I do, to the newly
opened Chick-fil-A restaurant. The owner, Mary Johnson, conducted the interview
from 10:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. She wanted to know everything about Daniel, and
why was he incarcerated. Daniel had been a heavy equipment operator but couldn't
find employment in Dover. She saw what she wanted to see and offered Daniel a job,
at minimum wage, making sure the supplies are kept up for her customers. Daniel
worked his way up through the organization and became one of her lead people.
There is a very happy man in New York. Gabby finally got his Permanent Resident
Alien Card. It was sent to the mission. Cathi called him and he wanted her to pass
on to anyone who had a part in helping him get his card - a huge thank you. He had
been fighting to get his visa for 10 years. Only when he got to Dover Interfaith did
he get the extra help needed. He is now working in the security field, doing well in
New York City.
Sex offenders are the most difficult to place. These men have committed a crime but
they, too, are human beings, who have paid their dues. Mark and Jesus have found
employment at an orange juice plant and have worked their way up to leadership
positions with numerous raises.
Lastly I have to tell you about Carlos. He came to us from an agency in Georgetown.
Carlos was deaf, couldn't speak, and was homeless. No one wanted to give him the
time of day. We told the agency to send him to Dover. When he arrived he couldn't
talk or hear. He and I communicated with the pad and pencil. Soon he learned that
he could text faster than he could write. So, here he was texting and I was writing.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 6
I called Terry Murphy, President of Kent General and asked him to call Dr. Steve
Cooper to get us an appointment. Within one half hour a call came in from Cooper's
office, saying that someone had called him from DIMH [Dover Interfaith Mission for
Housing]. We were told that this would not be necessary in the future, that they
would take care of Carlos. Carlos was tested and was found to have little hearing
in his left ear and no hearing in his right ear, but he was a candidate for the
Cochlear Implant. I said, "Great." But Steve said he would never receive it because
Carlos was on Medicaid, and they wouldn't pay for it. Dr. Cooper swabbed Carlo's
throat and we were instructed to go directly to the hospital to get tested. He gave
Carlos a prescription and was told to take the pills for 14 days. At the end of 13
days Carlos was sitting at a computer, searching for employment. He turned around
and started talking. God had touched Carlos and all of us. Later, I took Carlos to
Johns Hopkins where they gave him a loaner hearing aid. We are trying to raise
funds for the purchase of a new hearing aid through the Lions Club Foundation and
some of the local Rotaries.
These are just a few of the stories about the men of Dover Interfaith. This award is
not about me. I am proud to serve as Great Person of the Year 2011 and I thank you
for your support and tonight's presentation.”
Mayor Carey recognized the other individuals who were nominated for the award and relayed
congratulations.
PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE -
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 38 SOUTH NEW STREET (OWNER OF RECORD: HOUSE
OF PRIDE, INC.)
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of
the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 38 S. New Street, owned by House of Pride, Inc.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the
property consists of a two (2) story, wood-frame dwelling. She advised members that the building
is a single-family dwelling that had been divided into two (2) apartments, which is a non-conforming
use according to the Zoning Ordinance. Most recently, the house had received conditional use
approval for the House of Pride to use as a transitional home associated with their recovery and
transitional housing program. On January 8, 2012, the property was severely damaged by fire and
was subsequently condemned on January 9, 2012. Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation
depicting the condition of the structure (Exhibit #1).
Mrs. Townshend advised members that emails have been exchanged between the City Planner and
Ms. Sandra Dean, attorney for the House of Pride, regarding the repair of the structure. Under the
provisions of the City’s Clean Hands Ordinance (Dover Code, Chapter 1, Section 1-13 - Denial of
permits or approvals for failure to comply with requirements for payment, actions, or filings),
the City cannot issue a building permit to reconstruct damaged portions of the structure until
all outstanding payments due to the City are paid in full. Although there are no current
outstanding payments against the property, she stated that there are unpaid demolition charges for
Página 11
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 7
35 N. New Street ($12,977.50) and 106 S. New Street ($21,902.75). To date, these charges have not
been paid, and no application has been filed to make the repairs.
Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare this building and any accessory buildings on this
property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by March 27, 2012 by the owner
or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition
of the structure if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council;
and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs
or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause
such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be
recovered in a suit at law against the owner.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that the City would not issue permits to
repair this property due to outstanding charges. She also indicated that, based on information
received from the insurance company, since the cost of the repairs exceeds 75% of the value of the
structure, the property could not be restored to a multi-family use and reminded members that
two (2) story apartments are a non-conforming use of the property.
At the request of Mr. Anderson, City Solicitor Rodriguez indicated that the City’s current Clean
Hands ordinance does not provide any exceptions.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Townshend stated that although the recommendation indicates that
repairs (or demolition) should be completed by March 27, 2012, if renovations are in progress and
are proceeding in an adequate manner, the City would not move forward with the demolition.
Acting Council President Williams declared the public hearing open.
Ms. Sandra Dean, attorney representing House of Pride, stated that although there was no opposition
to the property being declared dangerous, there was opposition to the proposed demolition. She
explained that the two (2) demolition liens total $34,880.25, which the House of Pride will not have
funds to pay until those lots are sold. The damage at 38 S. New Street was fully covered by
insurance and that payment has been received and will be used to move forward with the repair and
renovation of the building. The House of Pride was advised on February 27, 2012 of the requirement
for the property to be renovated to a single-family dwelling. She stated that the Board of Directors
would need to review the matter to determine if a conditional use application should be submitted
for consideration. She indicated that the property would be renovated as a single-family dwelling.
On behalf of the House of Pride, Ms. Dean requested that City Council waive the requirement that
the demolition liens be paid prior to the City issuing a building permit in order to begin repairs at
38 S. New Street.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Acting Council President Williams declared the public
hearing closed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 8
Mr. Anderson moved to table the matter to allow staff the opportunity to review the possibility
of amending the Clean Hands ordinance to allow exceptions, seconded by Mrs. Russell and
carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Hutchison, and
Mrs. Williams), and one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
RESCHEDULING OF PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - REZONING
The First Reading of proposed Ordinance #2012-04 was accomplished during the Council Meeting
of January 23, 2012 and a Public Hearing set for March 12, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
Acting Council President Williams advised members that staff requested that this item be postponed
due to inadequate public notice. As a result, staff recommended that the Public Hearing/Final
Reading before City Council be rescheduled for April 9, 2012.
Mr. Bonar moved to reschedule the Public Hearing/Final Reading for April 9, 2012 at
7:30 p.m. for the rezoning of property located at 4 Mifflin Road, owned by Peter and Bonnie
Reidy, consisting of 1.25+/- acres; property located at 24 Mifflin Road, owned by Robert
Klewans and Carol Candor, consisting of 0.55+/- acres; and property located at 1510 Forrest
Avenue, owned by Doreen E. Lucas, consisting of 0.41+/- acres. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.
PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT -
FEBRUARY 13, 2012
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on February 13, 2012 with
Chairwoman Russell presiding.
Accounting of Summer Program Revenues
Members reviewed the Substance Abuse Program Revenue and Expense Report for Fiscal
Year 2011. Mrs. Sherwanda Rachal-Speaks, Recreation Specialist, noted that the purpose of the
grants received is to provide services to 100 at-risk youth who are identified as having economic
and/or academic disadvantages. She also provided an overview of the purpose and function of the
various programs funded through the grants. Mrs. Rachal-Speaks also noted that a Youth
Connections Parent/Student Handbook is provided to all parents of participants in the after-school
program.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Rachal-Speaks indicated that Youth Connections started with a grant
from the State through the Delaware Prevention Network and has been in existence for 17 years.
The after-school program is a licensed program that is overseen by teachers and workers who must
meet specified criteria for providing care to young children, including completion of classes,
background checks, and 18 hours of training each year.
Mrs. Russell suggested that Mrs. Rachal-Speaks meet with Police Chief Hosfelt to assist in the
development of a program being instituted by the Police Department for the youth in the downtown
area.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 9
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Accounting of Summer Program Revenues as
presented by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary
absent).
Proposed Revisions to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Guidelines
Members were reminded that during their meeting of January 9, 2012, the Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee recommended that Council approve a change to the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) subgrant procedure to have applicants apply for
multi-year funding that would coincide with the length of the Community Development
Consolidated Plan. City Council approved the Committee’s recommendation on January 23, 2012.
During the January 9, 2012 Committee meeting, it was noted that if the change to the procedure was
approved, staff would prepare an amendment to the Consolidated Plan with the upcoming round of
funding allocation and the program guidelines would be revised and brought to the Committee for
their review. As a result, staff presented proposed revisions to the CDBG Program Guidelines which
would integrate the multi-year subgrant process.
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reviewed the proposed revised CDBG
Program Guidelines and noted that substantive changes were highlighted. She explained that,
according to the revised guidelines, subrecipients (non-City entities) would apply for eligibility for
funding on multi-year cycles and would provide the information necessary to evaluate the proposal
according to the criteria in this application. City projects and programs that are eligible for funding
would be specified in the Consolidated Plan and would not be required to submit a formal
application. Both non-City and City applicants would be required to submit an annual funding
request with a budget and program description. The revised guidelines would also allow the Director
of Planning and Community Development to bring additional potential subgrantees forward to the
Committee for consideration of funding during the Consolidated Plan year if special circumstances
arise.
Staff recommended approval of the revised CDBG Program Guidelines, as presented.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community
Development, assured members that each funding request, including any request of the City, would
be ranked by the Committee during the review process.
Responding to Mr. Anderson’s concerns regarding accountability, Mrs. Townshend indicated that
funding requests are reviewed each year and members are provided monthly updates; therefore, if
a subgrantee does not perform as expected, the Committee can reconsider their grant funding.
Elaborating, Mrs. Harvey advised members that the City also has contracts with the subrecipients;
therefore, if it is found that a subrecipient is not performing well, the City has the right to terminate
the contract.

The Committee recommended approval of the revised Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program Guidelines, as recommended by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary
absent).
UPDATES
The following updates were provided to members
Planning and Funding for New Library
Ms. Marjorie Cyr, Library Director, advised members that construction of the new Dover Public
Library is approximately 50% complete and the metal roof should be installed next week. Staff is
finalizing the shelving and furniture listing for the building. She indicated that construction is on
target for completion of the building in June or July, with a ribbon cutting to occur in
September 2012.
Ms. Cyr stated that the Capital Campaign has received two (2) $100,000 donations, one of which is
a challenge pledge, and that the Campaign is approximately one-third of the way toward meeting the
goal. She informed members that the other donation was from a local Dover family who was very
specific that they did not want their gift to go toward meeting the challenge pledge in order to
encourage the community to continue to contribute toward the challenge.
Ms. Cyr advised members that Memorial Brick Pavers are still for sale (at a cost of $125 each) and
will be placed at the Loockerman Street entrance to the library. She also advised members that a
fund raising concert is scheduled for March 3, 2012 at the Wesley Chapel.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Ms. Cyr indicated that two (2) tours of the new Library facility were
conducted for City Council members and that Kent County Levy Court members were provided a
tour earlier in the day. She stated that the tours are very important, particularly for potential donors,
and if members knew of interested parties, she requested that they contact her to make tour
arrangements.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Cyr stated that any donation received, with the exception of the
brick paver sales, would be counted toward the challenge pledge.
Ms. Cyr advised members that the Events Committee is planning a Ball to take place around the time
of the ribbon cutting. The Committee is working with the Governor’s Office to schedule the ribbon
cutting event for September 20, 2012. She stated that it is hoped that the Ball would become an
annual event to help support the Library and that this year’s theme will be “Dancing with Da Vinci.”
CDBG Program
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reported on the Status of FY 2011 CDBG
Projects as of January 2012. She noted that 5:00 p.m. today is the deadline for the CDBG
Applications for multi-year projects.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 11
It was noted that the report provided to members indicates an Unencumbered Balance of $0 for
Connections Community Support, which should be $5,000 and that the $5,000 listed as Funds
Expended should be $0.
Responding to Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Harvey confirmed that the RC&D facility has moved to Milford;
however, continues to provide services to City of Dover residents. In regard to the Street Program,
Mrs. Harvey indicated that it is anticipated that the project will begin in the Summer of 2012.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend explained that a water line replacement is scheduled to occur on
New Street next summer and that the paving cannot begin until the water main work has been
completed.
Housing and Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Fund)
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reviewed the Update on the Housing and
Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Program).
Dover Youth Advisory Committee
Mrs. Russell advised members that during the Regular Council Meeting of January 9, 2012, Council
approved reappointments to the Dover Youth Advisory Committee. She stated that the members
attended a recent Delaware League of Local Governments Meeting, where they were presented with
certificates in recognition that this group is the only municipal youth committee in the State of
Delaware. She noted that the Boys and Girls Club is attempting to create a youth committee to serve
as an advisory board.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Russell stated that there are nine (9) members who serve on the
Youth Advisory Committee.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community
Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll
call vote (Council President Leary absent).
UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 13, 2012
The Utility Committee met on February 13, 2012 with Chairman Bonar presiding.
Garrison Tract Infrastructure Financing
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, read the following statement into the record:
“Calpine is a leading independent power producer of reliable electricity to a wide
range of customers and communities. Founded in 1984, Calpine is capable of
delivering approximately 28,000 megawatts of clean efficient power generation, in
20 U.S. states and Canada, with 91 operating power plants and two under
construction. Calpine's fleet of natural gas-fired plants is among the youngest and
cleanest in the country. The average plant age is about 12 years old, and the fleet
emits fewer greenhouse gases per megawatt hour generated than any other
independent power producer in the United States. Following its acquisition of
Conectiv Energy in 2010, which added 19 new plants in the Eastern PJM region,
Página 16
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 12
Calpine's portfolio now has significant scale in three major power markets: Texas,
California and the Mid-Atlantic. With a modern, diverse and flexible fleet of
state-of-the-art plants, Calpine is poised to benefit from price and volume
improvements in all three areas as the country's economic recovery strengthens.
Calpine is proposing to construct a 309-megawatt, energy efficient, merchant power
production facility (known as the Garrison Energy Center (GEC)) on a roughly
37-acre site located at the Garrison Oak Technical Park just east of Rt. 1 off of White
Oak Road. Their site development application has been submitted to the City and
their project will be considered by the City's Planning Commission in March 2012.
The proposed site is industrially zoned although currently undeveloped. The City
and Calpine are parties to an Option to Lease agreement which would permit
Calpine to lease the land for a 30-year term with four (4) five-year options. Calpine
has now received the results of the PJM System Impact Study. The results of the
study have identified various electrical infrastructure upgrades that will be required
to inject the power into the PJM grid. The necessary upgrades to the power
transmission system in the Pennsylvania area may also require an additional
investment on Calpine's behalf. Pending approval by their board of directors and
favorable market conditions, Calpine expects to be in a position to obtain building
permits and start site construction to allow for a June 2015 commercial operation
date. Both DEDO (Delaware Economic Development Office) and DNREC
(Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control) are supportive of the
project based on the REMI [Regional Economic Models, Inc.] study which concluded
that the GEC will provide a significant Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increase,
jobs creation, and lower wholesale energy costs for Delawareans.
Specifically, the REMI study indicates the proposed project will create 200-250
(peak) construction jobs and a GDP increase of $25 million during construction of
the facility. 15 direct jobs and 67 indirect jobs and a GDP increase of $126 million
during operations of the facility will also be achieved. 121 indirect jobs and a GDP
increase of $96 million will be brought about by the lower wholesale energy prices
Delaware will realize once the GEC is added to the regional power generation mix.
According to the analysis done by an independent energy consulting firm, during the
first six (6) years of operation, the GEC will:
1) Decrease Delaware wholesale energy costs by at least $95
million.
2) Reduce residential customer bills by up to $1-1.25/month
provided transmission and distribution charges are held
constant.
The infrastructure build-out at the Garrison Oak Technical Park will enable
Delaware and the City of Dover to draw other industrial tenants, thus further
expanding economic and job opportunity beyond this specific project.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 13
Based upon the projected utility demands and property improvements, the expected
revenues associated with the project have been estimated as follows:
City Water Revenue $1.6 million per year
City Sewer Revenue $258,600 per year
Land Lease Income $28,000 per year plus an annual escalator
Property Taxes $150,000 (City & County Combined)
Back Up Electric Power $250,000
TOTAL: $2,286,600
As we previously indicated, the City of Dover has encouraged Calpine to apply for
a Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund grant, which the City agreed to sign on
as its public sponsor. During Calpine's discussions with the State of Delaware,
representatives from State government indicated that the City of Dover must have
"skin in the game" for this project to come to fruition. There are several
infrastructure investments outside of the site plan boundaries that Calpine has
requested third-party funding for. These investments include approximately 6 miles
of a new large diameter natural gas pipeline, as well as water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, and road improvements for a portion of the Garrison Oak Technical Park.
The estimated cost of these infrastructure investments is $12 million.
My purpose for coming before the Utility Committee tonight is to request your
support for funding of these infrastructure improvements up to a target amount of $6
million dollars. The City intends to work with the State of Delaware and other
entities to fund the balance of the infrastructure investments. In addition, we hope
to reduce the economic outlay from the City of Dover as more detailed estimates are
forged. The GEC provides a unique opportunity to lower wholesale energy costs on
the supply side of the energy equation since this is an energy efficient unit. This
efficiency will increase the operating value of this asset. Thank You.”
Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig indicated that the $6M would pay for infrastructure which
is associated with the extension of a gas lateral from north of Cheswold to the Garrison Farm and
GEC, as well as extending water, sewer, and road infrastructure on the Garrison property. He noted
that a total of $12M of off-site infrastructure improvements is associated with water, sewer, road,
and gas line construction specifically being requested and it is hoped that the remaining $6M will
be obtained from the State of Delaware through grant monies.
Mr. Koenig explained that the request is to offer a commitment of $6M. If this is approved by City
Council, staff will distribute a letter to Calpine, which would be included in a package that Calpine
is assembling for their Board and used in negotiations with the PJM grid. He stated that the
commitment letter is the next step for the City and would not commit the City to pay $6M if the
project does not move forward.
Página 18
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 14
In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that the City may not actually provide $6M to
Calpine; however, the City of Dover may contract for the $6M to build the infrastructure. The $6M
investment would occur only if Calpine pulls a building permit and begins construction of the
project. Mr. Koenig explained his understanding that the City of Dover would own all of the
infrastructure constructed using the $12M, including the gas pipelines, water, sewer, and roads.
Mr. Bonar clarified that the request is for the City to provide an authorization to commit up to $6M
in contributions toward the project and that payment of the funds would not be guaranteed if the
project does not move forward. Concurring, Mr. Koenig indicated that if the project does not move
forward, the City would not be obligated to build any of the infrastructure.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig confirmed that the perceived lack of infrastructure has
been delaying the development of the Garrison Tract. He advised members that preliminary designs
for infrastructure have been prepared for a field located on the Garrison Tract; however, there are
no roads or water for a majority of the park. The water system was expanded from the Wild
Meadows Subdivision to the location of the LS Power facility in preparation of the Garrison Center.
Mr. Koenig noted that a lot could not be offered for sale there since there is no infrastructure for a
finished lot. He confirmed that the Calpine project could potentially provide opportunity for other
projects for the Garrison Farm and the proposed infrastructure would open 65% of the project for
development once completed.
Mr. Anderson questioned if fees would be involved for the gas that passes through the gas lines.
Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that there have not been formal discussions with Eastern Shore
Natural Gas or Chesapeake Utilities in this regard; however, it is possible the City of Dover could
potentially own the gas lines and then establish an agreement for operation and maintenance with
either Eastern Shore Natural Gas or Chesapeake Utilities. The City could potentially receive revenue
in the future, as additional gas is delivered or additional taps are made off the line.
Mr. Lynn relayed concerns regarding the Calpine project in general and questioned if there have been
any conversations with any representatives of Wild Meadows regarding their feelings about such a
project being in close proximity. Mr. Koenig stated that it has been his experience that the residents
of Wild Meadows have been very vocal in the past regarding any potential problems and that to date,
he was not aware of any concerns. He was aware that a “field trip” has been planned in the near
future to visit another facility similar to the proposed project.
Mr. Lynn advised members that, as he requested, Calpine has reached out to the residents of the Wild
Meadows Subdivision to make sure they are kept abreast of all developments. It was his opinion that
Calpine has shown exemplary corporate citizenship in this regard. His concern was that the residents
of Wild Meadows have not rendered their opinions regarding their support of this project. His fear
was that the residents would be opposed to the construction of a plant directly behind them and, as
a result, he spoke to the City’s Economic Development Director, Mr. Bill Neaton, to determine the
possibility of moving the Calpine site to another location on the Garrison Tract (further from Wild
Meadows). Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that this project has been in discussion for approximately
two (2) years and feared that it may be too late to consider moving the location, particularly since
Página 19
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 15
the location has been discussed with DNREC as well as the State Planning Office. He also noted
that the site plan application has been filed with the City.
The Committee recommended the endorsement of up to $6M of in-kind contributions for the
infrastructure financing for the Garrison Tract.
Due to recent information provided to City Council, Mr. Lynn relayed his concerns with the
Committee’s recommendation. Although the City would not be obligated to provide the in-kind
contributions if the project does not go forward, as a result of the information provided to City
Council, he had concerns regarding the City committing such a large amount.
At the request of Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that staff is in the
process of gathering detailed information regarding the project. She felt that Council could move
forward since there was no obligation to commit to the bond unless the project moves forward.
However, staff was unsure of what the bond coverage would be at this time.
Mr. Lynn indicated his concern regarding the funds being committed by the Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and felt that the matter warrants further discussion.
He questioned if a delay in taking action on the part of the City would send a negative message to
Calpine and the State in general. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell felt this would send a negative
message; however, should members wish to table the matter, this would not suggest that Council is
against the project but would just be a delay in action by Council. She noted that the matter was
presented at this time due to a timetable that Calpine was attempting to meet for a meeting they had
scheduled for the end of March 2012.
Mr. Lynn moved to table the matter to be reconsidered as soon as practical but before the end of
March 2012, thus meeting Calpine’s deadline, seconded by Mr. Hutchison.
In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig stated that the Calpine project could move forward
regardless of the solar energy facility at the property.
Mr. Bonar reminded members that this project is at a very critical juncture in its discussion and felt
that the new information provided to members was not a reason to table the matter. He felt that any
delay by City Council would not only send a negative message to Calpine, but also to the State of
Delaware, which is very interested in finding a way to bring lower utility rates to State residents. He
felt strongly that Council should move forward with the bond proposal.
Mr. Anderson felt that the Garrison Tract has been a waste of money, explaining that no
infrastructure has been built and none of the promises made have been fulfilled. He stated that the
City now has the opportunity to take action and the State is willing to pay funds that were promised
several years ago. The City is being blamed for higher utility rates, which are the result of State
mandates. It was his opinion that the City should take action at this time.
Página 20
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 16
In response to concerns of Dr. McGlumphy and Mr. Hare, Mr. Bonar stated that the $6M bond
obligation would come to fruition only if the plant is built and if this does not occur, the City has
absolutely no expense or commitment. He reminded members that there have been numerous
opportunities for the City to act on items during the past several years and, because the City did not
act, those projects came to fruition elsewhere. He stated that if the City does not act at this time, the
State will not act favorably. Mr. Bonar indicated that not only will the project bring an estimated
$2.3M to the City in additional revenues, it would also result in a benefit to every single resident of
the State of Delaware. He stressed that this is a highly important matter and that the City should
proceed.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the funding source for the bond (e.g.,
enterprise fund vs. general obligation bond) would depend upon what the City chooses to bond
(infrastructure, purchased power, etc.).
The motion to table the matter to be reconsidered as soon as practical but before the end of
March 2012, thus meeting Calpine’s deadline, failed by a roll call vote of five (5) no, three (3) yes
(Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Lynn, and Mr. Hare), and one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation for the endorsement of
up to $6M of in-kind contributions for the infrastructure financing for the Garrison Tract.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two(2)
no (Mr. Lynn and Mr. Hare), and one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater)
Members reviewed a Project Tracking Report, as of December 31, 2011, for the Utility (Electric and
Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP).
Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, indicated that the paving of Hazel Road
should be completed in March 2012. He reminded members that a water line replacement was
completed on Hazel Road and that the last street program issued included Hazel Road; therefore,
curb and sidewalk repairs should be occurring. He stated that once asphalt plants open again in the
Spring, the street will be paved and completed.
In response to Mr. Anderson regarding the Inflow/Infiltration project, Mr. Koenig stated that
although he did not have the outlay of the scale (prioritization of areas), he assured members that
staff has been working diligently to maintain the schedule. He noted that the reports provided were
from December and that actual construction progress may be further than what was indicated in the
report.
In response to Mr. Blakeman regarding the repairs on Unit #3, Mr. Koenig indicated that both
preventative and long-term maintenance were being conducted on Unit #3 at the same time.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Utility Related CIP Report as presented.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 17
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary
absent).
30-Day Update - Garrison Oak Technical Park Project
Mr. Bonar referred to the first agenda item discussed by members (Garrison Tract Infrastructure
Financing) and noted that it would serve as the 30-day update.
Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Anderson
and carried, with Mr. Lynn voting no.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
FEBRUARY 13, 2012
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on February 13, 2012 with
Councilman Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman McGlumphy.
Review and Recommendation - Filling Critical Positions
During their Regular Meeting of January 23, 2012, City Council approved an amendment to the
process for filling critical positions, which was approved by City Council on August 22, 2011, to
specify that if a position becomes vacant that will affect public or employee safety or cause financial
harm to the City, Permission to Recruit, Hiring Justification Outline, and Wage and Benefit
Information for Employee Hiring and Transfers forms shall be submitted to the Legislative, Finance,
and Administrative Committee, and that such requests would be forwarded to the City Manager and
Controller/Treasurer for their review and recommendation prior to the Committee’s consideration.
Fire Dispatcher
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed Fire Chief Jack Fortney’s request to fill one (1) vacant
Fire Dispatcher position. The current vacancy was the result of the transfer/promotion of
Mr. Matt Carey from a Fire Dispatcher in the Fire Department to a Communication Operator in the
Police Department. The Fire Dispatcher position has been vacant since November 1, 2011, which
has increased the level of stress on current staff and has the potential to degrade service if the
position remains unfilled.
In reviewing the Fire Chief’s hiring justification outline, Mr. Koenig stated his support of the
request; however, he recommended approval with the condition that the candidate selected must pass
the same background check that is required by the Police Department for Communication Operators.
He reminded members that his long-term objective for both Police and Fire Department dispatch
operations is to have a consolidated facility that would eventually integrate emergency dispatch
functions. Mr. Koenig felt that the requirement of a background check would help lay the foundation
for that transition.
Mr. Koenig noted that the total cost of annual wages and benefits for the position was estimated at
$51,224.
Página 22
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 18
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Fire Chief Fortney indicated that there were five (5) full-time
dispatcher positions and one (1) part-time position in the Fire Department and that four (4) full-time
positions and one (1) part-time position are currently filled.
The Committee recommended approval of the request to recruit for the Fire Dispatcher, with the
condition that the candidate selected to fill the position must pass the same background check that
is required by the Police Department for their Communication Operators, as recommended by staff.
Dr. McGlumphy explained that his request to remove the filling of critical positions from the consent
agenda was due to his feeling that action by Council should be taken and voted upon separately.
Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by
Mr. Anderson.
Dr. McGlumphy stated that he was presenting the Committee’s recommendations; however, he
would vote on the matter according to his position.
Responding to comments of Mr. Hare, Mr. Hutchison suggested that members consider that there
are currently 30 vacant positions within the City and that the City Manager has been charged with
reviewing current operations and presenting recommendations. He felt that additional requests
would be forthcoming as the City Manager continues to review and assess the operations of the City.
He requested that members of Council support the City Manager in this regard.
On a call for the question by Mr. Bonar, the motion to approve the Committee’s
recommendation for approval of the request to recruit for the Fire Dispatcher, with the
condition that the candidate selected to fill the position must pass the same background check
that is required by the Police Department for their Communication Operators, as
recommended by staff, was carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Dr. McGlumphy
and Mrs. Williams), and one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
Electric Department
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a request from Mr. Jeremy Johnson, Interim Electric
Director, to fill three (3) vacant or soon to be vacant positions within the Electric Department. He
advised members that there are a total of six (6) vacant positions within this department currently.
An additional vacancy is expected on or about April 1, 2012, due to an expected retirement. Due
to the considerable number of vacancies in the current fiscal year, funds are available to fill the
requested positions. In addition, Mr. Koenig stated that adequate funds should be available in the
FY 2013 budget since he did not anticipate filling several of the vacant positions. He noted that the
Departmental Budget and Support Supervisor position will be removed from the FY 2013 budget
altogether.
Mr. Koenig advised members that these positions were also identified by the former Public Utilities
Director, Mr. Ron Lunt, as being critical to the function of the City’s electric utility. Based upon the
reviews by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lunt, he concluded that these positions are critical and must be
filled. He noted that the request would upgrade the open position of Substation Relay Foreman to
Página 23
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 19
an Electrical Engineering position and that the estimated budget impact of this upgrade is $18,409;
however, this change would significantly expand the City’s engineering capability.
Staff recommended that the Substation Relay Foreman vacancy be filled by an Electrical Engineer,
which would increase efficiency because the Substation Relay Foreman’s responsibilities would be
satisfied and some engineering duties could be absorbed. Additionally, staff recommended hiring
two (2) Substation Technicians at the entry-level grade. This would replace the vacant Substation
Technician II and prepare the department for the retirement of the other Substation Technician.
In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Johnson stated that the Substation Department provides safety to
City employees and the general public and plays a vital role in restoring power during outages.
Additional functions of this department include substation maintenance, completion of capital
projects, and support of the Electric Department’s daily operation. He stated that the minimum
staffing level of the Substation Department is five (5) employees and that the Department is currently
operating with three (3), with a Substation Technician expected to retire in April 2012.
As an example of the effect on the public’s safety, Mr. Johnson explained that if a vehicle was to hit
an electric pole, causing power lines to go down, and the Substation Department did not function
properly and remove power from the system, those lines would remain energized and could cause
danger to the public.
Mr. Hare reminded members that City Council has been considering the possibility of selling the
City’s utility and questioned if the proposed action should be taken at this time, since Council is
waiting for responses to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Cost of Service Study and would be
making a decision in this regard. Responding, Mr. Johnson explained that the request would address
the City’s immediate need to continue to provide safe and reliable electric service.
Concurring, Mr. Bonar felt that whether the City decides to maintain the electric system is a separate
issue to be considered once a study of the entire system has been completed. In the interim, the City
has the responsibility to maintain the safety and reliability of the system. In his opinion, the
requested positions were critical for providing for the reliability, adequacy, and safety of the system
and he urged members to support the request.
The Committee recommended approval of the request to recruit an Electrical Engineer for the
Electric Department, as recommended by staff.
Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by
Mrs. Russell and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Dr. McGlumphy), and
one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
In regard to the anticipated retirement of a Substation Technician, Mr. Hare questioned if the
employee had submitted his retirement application. Responding, Mr. Johnson stated that, although
he was unsure if the paperwork had been completed, the employee had met with the Human
Resources Department and indicated his intention to retire in April 2012.
Página 24
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 20
Mr. Hare suggested the possibility of delaying the filling of the second position until the current
employee retires. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained the length of time involved in the hiring
process for such a position and suggested that if members had reservations regarding hiring two (2)
Substation Technician positions at this time, they could recommend filling one (1) at this time, with
the stipulation that the second position would be filled upon the retirement of the Substation
Technician that is anticipated in April 2012.
The Committee recommended approval of the request to recruit for one (1) of the Substation
Technicians for the Electric Department, with the caveat that if the current Substation Technician
submits his retirement application, staff could recruit for the second Substation Technician.
Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by
Mr. Bonar and carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Mrs. Russell,
Dr. McGlumphy, and Mrs. Williams), and one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
United Networks of America Revised Letter of Agreement
During their meeting of December 12, 2011, members considered a Letter of Agreement with United
Networks of America and tabled the matter until such time that some type of accounting assurance
is provided to the City.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a revised Letter of Agreement which addressed the
concerns relayed by members during their December 12, 2011 meeting.
Staff recommended that staff be authorized to sign the revised Letter of Agreement with United
Networks of America to begin the Health Discount Card Program.
In response to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig assured members that there would be no expenses for the
City of Dover as a result of this program. Elaborating, Mr. Anderson indicated that the program
itself provides several thousand copies of the material (brochures, cards, etc.) free of charge;
however, if the City wished to promote the program beyond what is provided, those costs would be
borne by the City.
The Committee recommended that staff be authorized to sign the revised Letter of Agreement with
United Networks of America to begin the Health Discount Card Program.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation that
staff be authorized to sign the revised Letter of Agreement with United Networks of America
to begin the Health Discount Card Program (Exhibit #2), seconded by Mr. Hutchison and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary absent).
Staff Recommendations - Economic Development Office
During their meeting of January 9, 2012, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a memorandum
outlining a recommendation for restructuring the City’s Economic Development Office and the
Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). Members tabled the matter to allow the DDP Board to submit
a response.
Página 25
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 21
Mr. Koenig reminded members of Recommendations #1-6 from the memorandum dated
January 5, 2011. He stated that executive sessions were held to discuss qualifications and other
personnel matters and the recommendations were also discussed with several members of the DDP
and the DDP Board. Mr. Koenig noted that the DDP Board requested several amendments to staff’s
recommendation. It was the Board’s opinion that the current Business Improvement District (BID)
tax allocation would not be sufficient to cover the cost of the operation of the DDP; therefore, they
requested that this tax be increased in the FY 2013 budget to provide a total transfer of $100,000.
Mr. Koenig indicated that if the recommendation is implemented, the DDP would use its own funds
and hire an Executive Director to manage the mission of the DDP. The DDP also felt that there
would be a continued need for accounting and administrative support from the City of Dover in the
near term (one (1) to three (3) years) for DDP Board and Committee Meetings.
Mr. Koenig stated that the IUE Union objected to Recommendation #5, stating that it would be a
violation of their contract. He noted that this matter had not been reviewed by the City’s labor
attorney. Mr. Koenig felt that associated managerial rights provided in the contract would supercede
the IUE’s position on this matter.
In regard to concerns of a potential conflict of interest if the Economic Development Office was
located in the Planning Department, Mr. Koenig stated that it could be argued that such a conflict
could exist with any department. He indicated that the rationale for relocating the Economic
Development Office to the Planning Department is that first contact typically occurs in that office,
explaining that most individuals do not contact the City Manager’s Office for this type of
information. He felt confident that moving the Economic Development Office to the Planning
Department would not create a direct conflict of interest.
Mr. Koenig reminded members that the purpose of his recommendations was to discuss with City
Council ways to address budget gaps and maintain levels of service. He relayed his support for the
desire of the DDP to hire their own Executive Director, who would concentrate solely on the projects
and mission of the DDP. He noted that the original recommendation included an effective date of
February 1, 2012, which has passed.
In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that the DDP’s Board made a valid point regarding
the need for additional funding and support beyond June 30, 2012; however, he felt that their request
and his recommendation should be negotiated in this regard.
Mr. Koenig indicated that his recommendations would provide a savings in the amount of $100,000
in employee costs for FY 2013 and a reduction in administrative expenses. He noted that the BID
tax transfer allocation is currently $51,000; therefore, an additional $49,000 would be necessary to
fill the DDP’s request of $100,000 for the next fiscal year. This would result in only a $51,000
savings for FY 2013.
Mr. Anderson referred to a conversation he had with Ms. Georgeanna Windley (email previously
provided to members) who indicated that she thought the program should be tweaked; however, she
felt this would be counterproductive without a thorough assessment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 22
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated his belief that staff could not produce documentation
that would outline revenues that the Economic Development Office or Economic Development
Manager position produce which exceed the costs.
Mr. Lynn encouraged members not to recommend placing the Office under the Planning Department,
explaining his feeling that it is imperative that the integrity of Planning Department opinions
regarding site plans, subdivisions, conditional use, and rezonings be protected from accusations of
bias from an opposing public. He felt that the economic development professional would surely
cultivate projects that would go before the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and City
Council. If the economic development professional were placed under the Planning Director, their
independence on any matter would be compromised and every decision that is opposed would be
open to litigation. Mr. Lynn also felt that this restructuring would diminish the status of the
economic development professional, who should have complete access to the City Manager and the
Mayor without having to go through the Planning Director, and that this office should have its own
letterhead, website, etc.
Mr. Hare reminded members that prior to 2008, the Mayor and City Manager performed the City’s
economic development function in association with Kent County, and that this approach had proven
successful for many years. He did not support the expenditure of funds for a separate economic
development office and suggested that if it is maintained, since half of the responsibilities would be
eliminated, it should consist of only a part-time employee (25 hours per week).
Disagreeing, Mr. Anderson reminded members that, prior to 2008, the City’s downtown area began
to weaken, and there was an increase in crime and a flight in businesses and jobs. It was his opinion
that since the City acquired its own Economic Development Office, there has been slow
improvement in the downtown area and the City has received millions of dollars in investments
which will begin to take effect in March, including the North Street Project, Collegian site,
revitalization of the old C-Moore’s building, the Downtown charrette plan, etc.
Mr. Koenig reiterated that staff’s recommendation is based on comments that were made by
members of Council and the DDP. One major concern was that the City’s workforce expanded in
2008 and a revenue stream was not developed to fund the Economic Development Office. He
explained that when next year’s budget is prepared, staff will be required to add a funding source for
this Office and one of the reasons the recommendation was developed was due to this gap in the
City’s budget. Mr. Koenig concurred with the importance of economic development for the City and
explained that the question is how this need ranks in priority as the budget is developed. He stated
no objection to members rejecting staff’s recommendation or tabling the matter to have staff respond
to questions; however, he did not feel that providing answers to the questions would move the matter
forward.
The Committee recommended tabling the matter to allow staff additional time to work with the
Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) on the development of a recommendation.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary
absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 23
Staff Recommendations - Community Development Office
During their meeting of January 9, 2012, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and
Community Development, reviewed a recommendation to restructure the Community Development
Program and the current Community Development Manager position to allow the incumbent of this
position to take on additional responsibilities outside the Community Development Program.
Members tabled action to allow further discussion, possibly in executive session.
Mrs. Townshend reminded members of the recommendation and noted that a discussion of personnel
matters related to this issue was held in executive session.
Mr. Hare stated that, after discussing this matter with other jurisdictions involved with the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, he felt that the work does not require a
40-hour week. Although he had no objections to assigning the current Community Development
Manager as a Planner I, he did object to providing the employee a salary at the top of the pay scale
for a Planner I since the employee does not currently qualify for the position of Planner I.
Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff is working to address budgetary issues while
maintaining a level of service. She stated that this employee’s current salary is higher than the pay
scale for a Planner I and staff’s recommendation was for the Community Development Manager to
retain her current salary in an attempt to be fair to the employee.
It was Mrs. Russell’s feeling that it would be unfair to punish an employee who may prove to be as
valuable in the new position as she has in her current position, where she provided years of service
to the City.
In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend clarified that the current Community Development
Manager is not experienced in many of the primary duties of a Planner I; however, that is not an
indication that the employee is not qualified. It was her opinion that the employee is qualified to
serve as a Planner and, although she will need training, this is necessary even for individuals with
a planning background. She noted that the recommendation is to merge the vacant Planner and
CDBG positions and that the previous Planner (who earned approximately $40,000 per year) did not
have a CDBG background. She explained the importance of properly managing the CDBG program
and keeping it in line with Federal requirements.
The Committee recommended that staff be authorized to restructure the Community Development
Program and the current Community Development Manager position to allow for this position to
take on additional responsibilities outside the Community Development Program, as recommended
by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary
absent).
Proposed Ordinance #2012-03 - Related to Senior Citizen Income Exclusions
During their meeting of January 23, 2012, members considered Proposed Ordinance #2012-03,
which would amend Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article VI - Exemptions; Board of Assessment
Appeals, Section 102-183 - Tax Exemption for Senior Citizens by replacing the language “federal
Página 28
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 24
civil service retirement” with “Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)” and changing the
computation of the property owner’s entitlement for the deduction from a dollar amount to a
percentage of the Social Security maximum benefit. After much discussion, the Committee referred
the matter back to staff for clarification of the language.
Ms. Cheryl Russell, City Assessor, stated that staff considered amending the language of the
proposed ordinance title to specify that the senior citizen abatement was for low-income senior
citizens, which was referred to the City Solicitor for review. She advised members that the City
Solicitor recommended not changing the title of the ordinance. She explained that the authority for
this exemption comes from 22 Del C §1001, “Exemptions from Municipal Taxation on Real
Property For Persons 65 Years of Age or Older.”
Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-03 amending Section 102-183 (b)(3) to
update the language to specify Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) as the type of Civil Service
Retirement to be excluded and also to strike out the dollar amount for the maximum amount allowed
for the deduction from income. Staff also recommended changing the wording in Line 48 for
clarification (eliminating “Appeals from”).
The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-03, as recommended by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Council President Leary
absent). (The First Reading of Ordinance #2012-03 will take place during the latter part of the
meeting.)
Request of City Manager - Employment Related Benefits/Expenses
Members reviewed a request from Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, to consider approval of a $400
car allowance rather than the use of a City vehicle and a $100 special cell phone allowance rather
than the use of a City cell phone. He provided members with support documentation for each of the
requests.
The Committee recommended approval of the City Manager’s request for a $400 car allowance and
$100 special cell phone allowance.
Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by
Mr. Hutchison.
Mr. Anderson requested the division of the question to allow for separate motions.
Mr. Anderson felt that the car allowance would ultimately save the City money; however, with
regard to the cell phone allowance, since the City has a policy regarding the use of cell phones, he
did not feel that an exception should be made for the City Manager.
The motion to approve the City Manager’s request for a $400 car allowance was carried by
a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Dr. McGlumphy and Mr. Lynn), and one (1) absent
(Council President Leary).

The motion to approve the City Manager’s request for a $100 special cell phone allowance was
carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Mr. Anderson, Dr. McGlumphy, and
Mr. Lynn), and one (1) absent (Council President Leary).
Dr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration
Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried.
EVALUATION OF BIDS - LIBRARY FURNITURE
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a request for the purchase of furniture for the new Library
and advised members that construction of the new Library is 50% complete and is progressing on
schedule, with a targeted completion date in June 2012 and a potential opening date in September
2012. He explained that lead time on the order and delivery of furniture is necessary so that shelving
may be installed by EDiS to meet the construction schedule and deadlines.
Mr. Koenig indicated that staff has reviewed and recommended approval of the purchase from
Diversified Storage Solutions through State contract, in accordance with the City of Dover
Purchasing Policy. He noted that the total amount budgeted for furniture and shelving is $703,000
and the purchase request totals $292,738, specifically for shelving, panels, and countertops. He
stated that the balance of the furniture to be purchased is currently being reviewed by staff and will
be brought forward to Council in March.
Staff recommended approval of the purchase of the shelving, end panels, and countertops in the
amount of $292,738.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that these items were not included in the City’s
contract with EdiS; however, he assured members that the purchase was included as a line item in
the original project budget.
In response to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the expenditure is part of the $3.5M
included in the City’s budget for the project.
Mr. Anderson moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to purchase shelving, end panels,
and countertops in the amount of $292,738, seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous
roll call vote.
PROPOSED CANCELLATION OF COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS FALLING
IN THE WEEK OF THE FOURTH MONDAY OF EVERY THIRD MONTH (MARCH,
JUNE, SEPTEMBER, AND DECEMBER)
Due to short staffing related to the hiring freeze and current budgetary constraints that the City is
facing, some members of Council suggested holding fewer City Council and Committee meetings.
Many of the recent meetings have had short agendas and it was felt that those items could be
combined into one meeting, thereby providing additional time for day-to-day operations for those
departments that are short-staffed.
Página 30
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 26
As a result, Council President Leary recommended the cancellation of the Utility Committee,
Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, and City Council meetings falling in the week
of the fourth Monday of every third month (March, June, September, and December) and moving
the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meetings falling in those months to the week of
the second Monday of that same month.
By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of Council President Leary’s
recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote
(Council President Leary absent).
SELECTION OF POLLING PLACES FOR 2012 REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Members were advised that the City of Dover Election Board met on February 23, 2012 and
recommended that the Elk’s Lodge at 200 Salisbury Road be utilized as the polling place for the First
District and the Dover Park Recreation Center at 1210 White Oak Road be utilized as the polling
place for the Third District for the Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, April 17, 2012.
Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Election Board’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn
and unanimously carried.

On February 9, 2011 at 0238, the Dover Fire Department was dispatched for a
working house fire at 455 New Castle Ave. E4, under the direction of Chief
Fortney, was first on scene and found heavy smoke billowing from a “middle

extinguish a few hot spots and perform a lengthy over haul. The crews
worked in adverse conditions in bitter cold with the temperature dropping to
8F with the wind-chill. Due to an aggressive attack, the fire was contained to
the residence of origin and there was no extension into the adjacent residences

Big Event Weekend for the DFD
Saturday, September 17, 2011
The Dover Fire Department had a busy event weekend. It started Friday night with
the Backyard Burner event at Bubba’s Rock Shak. The evening was a big success
again. Patrons enjoyed Kristen and the Noise and socializing with State firefighters.
The following morning was the first annual DFD 5K. Over 80 runners participated.
Ages ranged from youth through senior citizens. Along with the 5K was a push-up
competition sponsored by the Punch Kettle Bell Gym and a hot wing eating
competition sponsored by the Dover Buffalo Wild Wings. The DFD would like to
thank the many sponsors who made these events such a great success. Special thanks
go out to the Little Creek VFC for the use of their EMS gator. Members also had our
Engine 2 and antique Engine 8 judged in the DVFA Conference. The apparatus were
awarded 2nd and 8th place respectively in their categories. In the afternoon, the
membership participated in the DVFA Conference parade followed shortly after by a
crab feast put on by with the Little Creek Fire Company. None of these events would
have been possible without the stand-by crews we had in our station from Friday
afternoon until Sunday morning.

siding, missing gutters, unsecurable rear door, and a collapsed rear roof. The building was staff registered as a vacant
building on 2/12/2009, and the owner was ordered to secure the building. No vacant ordiance fees have been paid. Staff
was preparing to present this building to Council as a dangerous building on 11/22/2010, when the owner requested
additional time to make repairs to the structure. The owner obtained the necessary permit on 12/1/2010, but after 6
months, the permit expired with little work done to the home. What work was done, was not completed to code
specifications. The home is currently still vacant, with no utilities, in a serious state of disrepair, and the rear utility room
and part of the rear 2nd story wall are still open to the elements.

MI-12-01 – 2012 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Report to City Council
March 12, 2012
Page 2
Project Background:
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan was adopted by City Council on February 9, 2008, and
subsequently amended on November 23, 2009, (in conjunction with the 2009 Comprehensive
Rezoning Project), amended on March 14, 2011, and amended on April 11, 2011. As adopted,
the 2008 Comprehensive Plan sets forth a process by which the Comprehensive Plan can be
amended on an annual basis. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan can be initiated by staff or
requested by members of the public. For amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that involve
rezoning of property, the requests are processed concurrently.
The process to amend the Comprehensive Plan is detailed in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan,
Chapter 15: Implementation, specifically on pages 183 and 184 of the Plan. This process
involves review of the proposed amendments through PLUS (Preliminary Land Use Services).
These Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2012 were presented at the January 25, 2012 PLUS
review meeting and PLUS review comments are attached to this report.
The proposed amendments are detailed below and represented in the attachments.
A. Land Use Classification Change from Residential Low Density (Map 12-1)
This proposed amendment is an applicant-initiated amendment, where three property owners are
requesting a change to the Land Use Classification for three contiguous properties located at the
corner of Mifflin Road and Forrest Avenue (Delaware Route 8). The request is that Land Use
Classification be changed from Residential Low Density to Commercial as depicted on Map 12-1:
Land Development Plan. This request is associated with the rezoning application for the same
properties, identified as Z-12-01 Lands of Reidy, Lucas and Klewans at southwest corner of
Route 8 and Mifflin Road. The properties involved are as follows:
• 4 Mifflin Road, ED-05-076.09-01-11.00-000
• 24 Mifflin Road, ED-05-076.09-01-12.00-000
• 1510 Forrest Avenue, ED-05-076.06-01-08.00-000
According to the applicant:
As these parcels are located in a very commercialized area and will provide convenient
services and job opportunities for the community in addition to providing increased tax
revenue for the city.
Regarding Commercial uses, in Chapter 12 – Land Development, page 151 and 152, the 2008
Comprehensive Plan recommends the following:
The Delaware Route 8 corridor continues to be an area subject to increasing commercial
development pressure. This area is subject to the Corridor Overlay Zone (COZ-1), which
has ensured that the development of this corridor does not mirror that of Route 13.
The Comprehensive Land Development Plan recommends that Route 8, west of the
railroad tracks continue to develop as either commercial or professional offices. With the
requirements of the Corridor Overlay Zone as well as implementation of the Route 8

Page 3
study performed by the Dover/Kent County MPO, efforts to provide cross access
easements and a potential service road will be an essential component to the further
development of the corridor.
The subject properties are located at the southwest corner of Mifflin Road and Forrest Avenue
(Delaware Route 8). The properties to the north across Forrest Avenue consist of a residential
condominium complex. The properties to the east across Mifflin Road are commercial in nature.
The property to the south is residential property along Mifflin Road. The property immediately
west along Forrest Avenue is in unincorporated Kent County and remains agricultural in use.
When the Planning Office developed the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the initial staff
recommendation was to change this corner to reflect a Land Use Classification of Commercial.
Following public testimony at the public hearing held by City Council regarding the
Comprehensive Plan, City Council unanimously voted to change the Land Use Classification
from the proposed Commercial use to Residential Low Density use. This change was reflected in
the final 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Excerpts of the public testimony regarding this application
are attached.
B. Annexation Plan Amendment (Map 13-1 & Map 13-2)
This proposed amendment is an applicant-initiated amendment, where the applicant is requesting
that the annexation area be expanded in the southeast side of the City, south of South Little
Creek Road and east of Horsepond Road. The request is for a portion of parcel ED-00-078.00-
01-25.00-000 in the ownership of Eastern Woodlands Holdings, LLC. The request would have
this area added as a Category 2 Annexation Area on Map 13-1: Annexation Areas with a Land
Use Classification of Agriculture on Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas.
According to the applicant:
The petition for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is to include the subject parcel
with the Category 2 Annexation area. The property is zoned AC within Kent County.
The owner would be proposing to keep the zoning as A- Agriculture within the City
of Dover for the purpose of constructing a solar energy farm.
The proposal is consistent with Chapter 13 of the City of Dover Comprehensive Plan
goals to “Create an environment for long term investment in Dover focusing on
green technology and entrepreneurial business.” The developer will be making a
significant investment in the solar farm to provide a longer term green energy project
The project would benefit the citizens of Dover and Delaware. The City of Dover
owns their own electric utility which would benefit from the solar farm.
The property is bounded on the east by parcels zoned AC within Kent County. The
property is bounded on the west by parcels within the City of Dover with C-3 -
Service Commercial, M – Manufacturing and IO – Institutional Office zoning districts.
The proposed Agricultural zone and solar farm use would be consistent in use and
activity. The solar farm would not be a significant generator of activity or traffic,
similar to standard agriculture.

Report to City Council
March 12, 2012
Page 4
The subject area is located east of Delaware Route 1, which is an area where State, County and
City policies have not supported large scale development. However, the property is also located
adjacent to parcels within the City and within the Category 1 Annexation areas, and the proposed
land use classification would not permit large scale or high intensity development.
Recommendations of the Planning Commission:
A. Land Use Classification Change from Residential Low Density (Map 12-1)
From the language in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and analysis of the Route 8 corridor,
which is largely commercial, the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan appears to
be consistent with the development of the area and the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
However, there was significant public opposition to a similar proposal in 2009. The character
of the adjoining residential area remains the same as it was in 2009, as does the commercial
character of the Route 8 corridor.
Staff submitted a recommendation to the Planning Commission to support the change to a
Land Use Classification of Commercial for these three properties, but to recommend that a
less intense zone be applied to the subject properties than the requested C-2A (Limited
Central Commercial Zone). These specifics regarding the zoning recommendation will be
addressed in the report for the rezoning application.
The staff recommendation was made prior to and without the benefit of public testimony on
the matter. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on February 21,
2012, where two members of the public spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment, the
Planning Commission recommended that City Council deny the requested Comprehensive
Plan Amendment.
B. Annexation Plan Amendment (Map 13-1 & Map 13-2)
Staff submitted a recommendation to the Planning Commission to support t the addition of
this property to the Category 2 Annexation Area with a Land Use Classification of
Agriculture. The support of the amendment is not indicative of support of the annexation
itself. If the property is proposed for annexation, Staff believes that deference must be given
to the results of the Cost Revenue Analysis to determine if the annexation is in the best
interest of the City. Inclusion of the property in the annexation area would allow the
applicant to request annexation, at which time a full review of the application can occur.
Staff notes that the property is located within the AICUZ (Air Installations Compatible Use
Zone) Study area for the Dover Air Force Base, and if annexed, the zoning of the property
would be subject to the requirements of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ).
The staff recommendation was made prior to and without the benefit of public testimony on
the matter. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on February 21,
2012, where no members of the public spoke regarding the proposed amendment, the

Mr. Ruane encouraged members to consider not only the current user of the property and how it is
used, but also how it could be used under the land designation and its subsequent zoning. He
suggested that a more appropriate land use designation would be institutional.
At the request of Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that, depending on the commercial zoning
classification, convenience stores, restaurants, etc., could be permitted.
The motion to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendation for Item #2 to change the
land use designation from residential to commercial for property located at 200 Saulsbury
Road was carried by a role call vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mrs. Russell and Mr. Ruane),
and two (2) abstentions (Mr. McGlumphy and Mrs. Williams). Mr. McGlumphy and
Mrs. Williams abstained due to their current and previous affiliation with the Elks Lodge.
Items #3, #4, and #7 - Land Development Plan Change - #3: 4 Mifflin Road, Owned by Peter
and Bonny Reidy; #4: 24 Mifflin Road, Owned by Robert Klewans and Carol Candor; and #7:
1510 Forrest Avenue, Owned by Doreen Lucas
Mrs. Townshend reviewed the requests of Peter and Bonny Reidy - 4 Mifflin Road (ED05-076.09-01-
11.00) ; Robert Klewans and Carol Candor - 24 Mifflin Road (ED05-076.09-01-12.00); and
Doreen Lucas - 1510 Forrest Avenue (ED05-076.09-01-08.00) to change the land use designation for
the properties located at 4 Mifflin Road, 24 Mifflin Road, and 1510 Forrest Avenue from residential
to commercial. She noted that staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
request for the properties to be reflected as commercial in the Comprehensive Plan.
Council President Hogan declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Richard L. Ornauer, 17 Mifflin Road, stated that items #3 and #4 are properties located within
the Mifflin Road Neighborhood Association and since item #7 is not (1510 Forrest Avenue), he
requested that the items be separated. Responding, Council President Hogan indicated that during
the voting, item #7 will be considered separately.
Mr. Ornauer thanked the Planning Staff for the multiple hours of work and public workshops held
in the development of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. He relayed opposition to the request for the
properties on Mifflin Road being designated as commercial. With reference to the close proximity
to the proposed new Dover High School, Mr. Ornauer assured members that there is no relationship
between Mifflin Road and the proposed high school. He advised members that on October 18, 1985,
an application was made for changing the properties at Route 8 and Mifflin Road to commercial,
which was denied by the Planning Commission on November 18, 1985 by a vote of six (6) to
two (2). He also advised members that a petition was submitted by the Mifflin Road Neighborhood
Association in opposition to the commercialization of the properties. He noted that two (2) of the
signers of the petition are the applicants to items #3 and #4. In addition, he stated that they are
signatories to a petition opposed to the establishment of the original Wawa.
Since City Council overruled the Planning Commission’s recommendation to deny the application
for changing the properties to commercial, Mr. Ornauer advised members that the Mifflin Road
Neighborhood Association filed a law suit against the City of Dover. He stated that the court case
ultimately went to Chancery Court and, in a decision issued on November 28, 1985, Vice Chancellor
Jacobson supported the Association, indicating that there was nothing to support the requested
change in zoning.

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 5, 2009 PAGE 5
Mr. Ornauer indicated that Mifflin Road has been designated as a residential roadway by the State
Department of Transportation. He also advised members that, in accordance with the Delaware
Route 8 Study, there will be revisions to the Route 8/Mifflin Road Intersection, including access to
the Country Club Apartments. He requested, on behalf of the Mifflin Road Neighborhood
Association, that the proposed changes to items #3 and #4 be denied and that the R-8 zoning
classification be retained, which, he noted, is the zoning classification of all properties located on
the west side of Mifflin Road, as well as those located on the east side with the exception of the bank
(intersection of Route 8 and Mifflin Road).
Mrs. Rexene Ornauer, 17 Mifflin Road, advised members that, due to the amount of traffic on
Mifflin Road, residents have difficulty exiting their drive-ways safely. She noted safety issues
involving the intersection at Route 8 and Mifflin Road, as well as the entranceway to the bank due
to its close proximity to the intersection. She stated that of those proposed commercial properties,
it would not be possible to install a safe entrance/exit on Mifflin Road. She urged members not to
take any further action that would make Mifflin Road any more unsafe.
Ms. Jennifer Holden, 15 Mifflin Road, concurred with the traffic concerns on Mifflin Road and
requested that the roadway remain residential. Although action cannot be taken to reverse the
current commercial properties located at the end of Mifflin Road, she stated that action can be taken
to preserve the remaining residential properties.
Mr. Carl Patterson, 19 Mifflin Road, reiterated that Mifflin Road consists of a beautiful residential
area. He noted that the Wawa has encroached on the quality of life for the residents of Mifflin Road
and he felt that approval of the request would be a disaster for these residents.
With no one else wishing to speak, Council President Hogan declared the public hearing closed.
Responding to Mr. Leary, Mrs. Townshend explained that the factors involving staff’s
recommendation were due to the corner property across from the subject parcels being commercial
and that the predominant use along the Route 8 corridor is becoming commercial. She also reminded
members that staff’s recommendations were made prior to any public testimony.
Mr. Slavin moved to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendation for items #3 - 4 Mifflin
Road and #4 - 24 Mifflin Road to change the land use designation for these properties from
residential to commercial. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and failed by a unanimous
roll call vote.
Mrs. Williams moved to deny the Planning Commission’s recommendation for Item #3 - 4
Mifflin Road and Item #4 - 24 Mifflin Road and that these properties be designated as low
density residential in the Land Development Plan. The motion was seconded by Mr. Leary
and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Since the result of the motion was against the Planning Commission’s recommendation, Council
President Hogan explained that each member must state their reasons.
Mr. Leary stated his reasons were due to the continuing acute nature of the traffic problems along
Mifflin Road and his feeling that staff and the Planning Commission did not have the opportunity
to consider the changes coming forward from DelDOT.
Página 70
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 5, 2009 PAGE 6
Mrs. Russell stated her reason was due to the objections from the residents of Mifflin Road and
indicated that they are homeowners and taxpayers whose opinions matter.
Mr. McGlumphy indicated his reason was due to the request being against the City’s principle to
establish more residential properties. He also indicated his being cognizant of the neighbors and
their opinions.
Mr. Slavin stated his concurrence with the reasons as stated by Mr. Leary.
Mr. McGiffin stated his reason was for the preservation of the residential character of the
neighborhood.
Mrs. Williams stated her reasons involved concerns of traffic safety and the well-being of the
residents of Mifflin Road and also due to the expenditure of taxpayer’s money in addressing traffic
issues on this roadway.
Mr. Salters stated his reason was due to the safety of the residents of Mifflin Road.
Mr. Ruane referred to page 149 of the draft 2008 Comprehensive Plan, which indicates the
assumptions for residential land use and noted that proper separation of incompatible land uses is
accomplished through physical distance and buffering, which creates stronger neighborhoods. He
stated that Mifflin Road is a strong neighborhood which he wishes to maintain.
In addition to those reasons as stated by members, Council President Hogan indicated his reason was
a desire to maintain residential properties along Route 8 towards the proposed high school and avoid
commercialization of properties surrounding the proposed high school.
Mr. Slavin moved to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendation for Item #7 -
1510 Forrest Avenue to change the land use designation for this property from residential to
commercial, seconded by Mr. Salters.
Mr. McGiffin noted that the property adjacent to 1510 Forrest Avenue, which is located in the
County, is zoned residential. Considering the action Council took in regards to Items #3 and #4,
involving 4 and 24 Mifflin Road, it was his opinion that the Planning Commission and staff’s
recommendations are not as logical at this time.
The motion to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendation for Item #7 failed by a
unanimous roll call vote.
Mrs. Williams moved to deny the Planning Commission’s recommendation for Item #7 and
that the property located at 1510 Forrest Avenue be designated as low density residential in
the Land Development Plan. The motion was seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a
unanimous roll call vote.
Página 71
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 5, 2009 PAGE 7
Since the result of the motion was against the Planning Commission’s recommendation, Council
President Hogan explained that each member must state their reasons.
Mr. Leary stated his reasons were due to the continuing traffic problems along Route 8 and that a
change in the land use would break up a residential neighborhood area.
Mrs. Russell stated her concurrence with the reasons stated by Mr. Leary.
Mr. McGlumphy indicated his reason was due to safety issues and spot zoning.
Mr. Slavin stated his concurrence with the reasons stated by Mr. Leary.
Mr. McGiffin stated his reason was for the preservation of the residential character of the
neighborhood.
Mrs. Williams stated her reason was due to non-conforming issues.
Mr. Salters stated his reason was due to safety issues.
Mr. Ruane stated his reason was for a separation of residential areas from incompatible uses.
Council President Hogan indicated his reason was due to objections of a commercial zone between
two (2) residential properties on a roadway towards the proposed high school.
Item #5 - Land Development Plan Change - 509 S. State Street, Owned by Bruce Ennis
Mrs. Townshend reviewed the request of Mr. Bruce Ennis to change the land use designation for
509 S. State Street (ED05-077.09-05-45.00) from commercial to mixed use. She noted that staff and
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request for the property to be reflected as
mixed use in the Comprehensive Plan.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that although the request involved the property
located at 509 S. State Street, in reviewing the request, staff has included all properties on S. State
Street zoned RG-O from Water Street to Elm Terrace in the mixed use classification.
Mr. Ruane suggested that until there are provisions that identify what the mixed use designation
means, it should not be utilized.
Council President Hogan declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to
speak, Council President Hogan declared the public hearing closed.
Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Planning Commission’s recommendation for Item #5 to
change the land use classification to mixed use for property located at 509 S. State Street. The
motion was seconded by Mr. McGiffin and carried by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes and one
(1) no (Mr. Ruane).

Mifflin Road
Mr. Pete Reidy, 4 Mifflin Road, stated that he was “caught off guard” when Council voted in
opposition to the request to convert his property to commercial. He explained that much of the
traffic along Mifflin Road is a result of housing developments that have occurred during the past five
(5) to six (6) years. He advised members that the property is primarily a Route 8 item as opposed
to a Mifflin Road item and that when the property was purchased, it had a Forrest Avenue address.
Noting that commercial properties have continued to grow along Route 8, he relayed difficulty in
understanding why it should end at his property. He requested Council’s reconsideration for
approval of the long-term plan.
Mr. Bob Klewans, 24 Mifflin Road, stated his request to be included with the “Reidy” property was
made with the understanding that the development of the property would allow ingress/egress from
Route 8 and would not generate additional traffic along Mifflin Road. He explained that the traffic
problem along Mifflin Road is not with the commercial properties but rather with there being no
other north/south street connecting North Street with Route 8. It was his opinion that Mifflin Road
has become a throughway due to the growth of the City and that the excessive traffic along Mifflin
Road is not the result of the commercial properties at the intersection of Mifflin Road and Route 8.
Mr. Klewans also noted that there has been additional traffic resulting from the addition of the Pitts
Center and Schutte Park, located off of Electric Avenue, which is an extension of Mifflin Road that
crosses North Street.
Mr. Richard Ornauer, 17 Mifflin Road, stated that in addition to his family, he was addressing
members on behalf of the Mifflin Road Neighborhood Association. He advised members that there
is another north/south street connecting North Street with Route 8, which is Saulsbury Road. He
noted that Mifflin Road has become a thoroughfare that connects the community of Wyoming and
Dover. In addition to an email previously submitted to Council, he presented a petition signed by
48 residents of Mifflin Road in opposition to any change from residential to commercial for
properties located at 4 and 24 Mifflin Road (Exhibit #2). As indicated in the email, he reiterated that
the Mifflin Road Neighborhood Association strongly opposes any change from the basic residential
nature of Mifflin Road.
Mr. A.C. Lucas, 178 Humphreys Drive, Camden, stated that he owns 1521 Forrest Avenue, which
is adjacent to Mr. Reidy’s property. He stated that these corner properties are located in a good
location for commercial use, less than 150 yards from a large shopping center, the Wawa, and WSFS
bank, and offers good exposure for any business, which typically results in good revenue. With
regards to the traffic, he stated that any growth in the City will create an increase in traffic. He noted
that although its completion will be 10+ years, the West Side Connector will provide traffic relief
to the area. Mr. Lucas reminded members that, should the land use change for the properties, it does
not necessarily equate to a rezoning. A rezoning application will require analysis by the City to
assure it is beneficial; however, if the land use is not changed, a rezoning request would not be
permitted.
Mrs. Rexene Ornauer, 17 Mifflin Road, advised members that, while canvassing the neighborhood,
she was apprised of many traffic safety concerns involving residents attempting to exit their
driveways. She also indicated that there were many concerns relayed regarding the vehicular speeds
Página 73
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 2, 2009 PAGE 6
along Mifflin Road, which had been designated as a residential street by DelDOT. She stated that
although there has been building west and south of Dover, there is no need to make the traffic
situation worse. She felt that the commercial area along Route 8 should stop at Mifflin Road and
noted that all properties along Route 8 west of Mifflin Road are residential. She felt that this would
particularly be important considering that a high school is planned for the area.
Mr. Larry Josefowski, 27 Mifflin Road, stated his concurrence with the statements of Mr. and
Mrs. Ornauer. Although he felt that the corner properties would be a great location for a business,
he did not feel it would be a good idea for the residents of the area. He reiterated the importance of
considering the close proximity of the new high school. His biggest concern is with regards to the
potential of expanding commercial properties along Mifflin Road beyond the corner properties.
Ms. Dawn Ford, 44 Mifflin Road, stated her belief that the properties would provide for a successful
commercial business, which is a concern. As a result of its potential success, it would only cause
additional safety issues and other problems that are being realized by the residents of the area. She
questioned where the residents’ rights stop versus those who wish to develop commercial properties.
On behalf of the mothers who reside along Mifflin Road, she requested that members consider their
concerns when they hear their daughters pulling out of the driveway onto Mifflin Road and they hear
horns honking. Ms. Ford advised members that she recently considered selling her home, but
decided against it. Since she has been a resident for 17 years, she thought it would be best to have
her voice heard by those responsible for making decisions for the betterment of the community.
East Loockerman Street
Mr. James Thistlewood, 455 East Loockerman (corner of Bayard Avenue and East Loockerman),
noted that this section of East Loockerman Street serves as a gateway to the City and that the
residents take pride in maintaining their property in representing the City. He felt that this area
should be residential and minimally remain at its current zoning with no further commercialization.
He stated that East Dover is one of the oldest communities in Dover and should be maintained as
a residential area.
Dr. Joel Halpern advised members that he was raised at 445 East Loockerman Street and represents
Ms. Florence Halpern. He, too, noted that this section of East Loockerman Street serves as a
gateway to the City for those entering off of Route 13. He felt it was critical that the area remain
residential.
Ms. Pat Heather, 432 East Loockerman Street, relayed concern with any change making commercial
properties along this street. Being a resident since 1958, she stated that it is a wonderful
neighborhood and requested that members keep it as such.
Mr. William Coughlin. 529 East Loockerman Street, referred to a letter dated December 20, 2007
from HUB Associates (Exhibit #3), which explains their intentions for the development of the
southwest corner of East Loockerman Street and Route 13. He relayed concern that the changes
proposed would have a negative impact on the residential community surrounding the properties.
He noted that in 1997, a variance was provided to the HUB Associates and that the property with the
house should have been provided an R-10 zoning classification; however, it was zoned as CPO. In

Excerpt from DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes of February 21, 2012
MI-12-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2012 – Public Hearing and Review for
Recommendation to City Council on a series of Amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan,
as amended, by replacing Map 12-1: Land Development Plan, Map 13-1: Annexation Areas, and
Map 13-2 Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas. Ordinance #2012-12. Under consideration
are requests from the following applicants:
A. Request from three parcels located at the southwest corner of Forrest Avenue
(Route 8) and Mifflin Road to revise the Land Use Classification from Residential
Low Density to Commercial on Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map. Property
Addresses: 4 Mifflin Road, 24 Mifflin Road, and 1510 Forrest Avenue. This is
associated with rezoning application Z-12-01.
B. Request from a property located south of South Little Creek Road and east of
Horsepond Road to be added to Map13-1: Annexation Areas as a Category 2
Annexation Area and added to Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas
with a Land Use Classification as Agriculture. Property: Portion of parcel ED-00-
078.00-01-25.00-000 in the ownership of Eastern Woodlands Holdings, LLC C/o
Chris Coker).
Mrs. Townshend stated that we have two (2) applicants that have requested Plan Amendments.
For clarity, Staff would recommend that two (2) public hearings be held, one on each. There are
two (2) amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that have been requested by property owners.
One is an amendment to the Land Development Plan which is Map 12-1 and the other is an
amendment to the Annexation Plan.
Part A:
Mrs. Townshend further stated that she would start discussion with regards to the Land
Development Plan Amendment. This is a change in land use classification from Residential
Low-Density to Commercial for the property located at the southwest corner of Mifflin Road and
Route 8. This is associated with a Rezoning application Z-12-01 which has been deferred to next
month’s Planning Commission. This application involves three (3) properties: 4 Mifflin Road,
24 Mifflin Road, and 1510 Forrest Avenue.
Mrs. Townshend further stated the report includes information from the applicant and analysis
from Staff’s perspective of how this relates to the language in the Comprehensive Plan and the
broader goals of the Comprehensive Plan. In this particular case, Staff has included excerpts of
minutes from City Council meetings on January 5 and February 2, 2009 when the
Comprehensive Plan was initially adopted. At that time, the property owners had requested that
this area be viewed as commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. You will find in the attached
minutes that a number of property owners along Mifflin Road expressed concern about the
commercial use of that corner.
Mrs. Townshend further stated in looking at the Comprehensive Plan language and the
development pattern in this area, there seems to be some degree of justification in that
commercial uses are appropriate for that area; however, Staff is aware of some concerns
regarding conflict of some of the more intense commercial uses and how they would relate to the
Página 75
adjacent residential properties.
Mrs. Townshend further started that Staff notes that the property across the street that is the
location of the WSFS Bank is zoned CPO so this property is shown as commercial in the
Comprehensive Plan; however, holds the CPO zoning which is a lower intensity and lower
traffic generator. Typically, the operations that you have in the CPO zone have hours that are
more compatible than a 24 hour convenience store. One of the suggestions that Staff has made
to the applicant is that if the Comprehensive Plan Amendment moves forward with a favorable
recommendation, that they look at the zoning and have a zoning that maybe more compatible to
a transition between the commercial area and the residential area.
Mrs. Townshend further stated as it relates to the Comprehensive Plan itself, the Staff
recommendation is that the requested change from Residential Low-Density to Commercial is
very much in keeping with the character of the area, the Route 8 area in particular and the
description of this area as depicted in the Comprehensive Plan.
There were no questions from any Planning Commission members at this time.
Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing.
Mr. A.C. Lucas – Camden, Delaware – Stated that he is one of the owners of 1510 Forrest
Avenue. He would like to reiterate that the 2008 Comprehensive Plan seems to be consistent.
He would also like everyone to take into consideration that this is within the Corridor Overlay
Zone so hopefully it would be more suitable as a transitional area because of the enhanced design
requirements of that Corridor Overlay Zone.
Mr. Tom Bynes – 1514 Forrest Avenue – Stated that he actually lives at 1514 Forrest Avenue
as this is our home. We have lived here since 1985 and have watched Route 8 go from two (2)
lanes to three (3) lanes. His concern is commercializing this property as he is adjacent to it. He
does not understand how anything could go commercial there and not impede traffic that we
already have there now. As we sit there today trying to get out of our driveway at certain times
of the day, it is almost impossible with race weekends being the same. This is something that we
have lived with because we have lived there a long time. With the idea of commercializing this
property, he cannot see how entry and exit could work on Route 8 right now the way that it is.
How will they get into whatever commercial goes in there and how are they going to get out? As
close as they are to the corner he does not see it working.
Mr. Edwin Baker – 1526 Forrest Avenue – Stated that his first concern is that he is curious as
to why there are three properties that are up for rezoning and what will develop here. If it is
going to be a situation where there is a type of construction it will be for the business. Because
we have had the Wawa store which is where the bank is now which was an overnight operation
and his concern would be what is going to be the ultimate limit for this. In other words, he was
told at one time that this was going to be the ultimate line for commercial usage and now all of a
sudden there are three (3) more properties that have come up which is going to move it a little
further. His concern is the type of zoning that it will be. He does not want to see a gas station or
a liquor store or a 24 hour service center there. His concern is the type of zoning that you end up
Página 76
recommending. He would assume that no one can divulge who is looking at this property and
what it is going to be?
Responding to Mr. Baker, Mrs. Townshend stated that she has not heard anything from the
applicant.
Mr. Baker further stated that it is odd that three (3) properties in a row have requested this zoning
so there is obviously someone interested that needs a lot of property to build whatever they want
to build.
Responding to Mr. Baker, Mr. Townshend stated that the request was for C-2A which is what the
Wawa property has which would allow things that are twenty-four hour operations. The WSFS
property at the opposite corner is zoned CPO which allows for banks, professional offices,
financial institutions and insurance agencies which tend to be less intense of a use than the hard
core commercial uses. The CPO zone when it was developed in the 1990’s, was frequently used
as a transitional zone between commercial areas and residential areas.
Mrs. Townshend further stated in fairness to the applicant, she will tell you that she only got
them the zoning comparison information today so they have probably not made a determination
if they will change the nature of the zoning application to either one of those zones. In the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment as proposed, it would allow for either of these zoning
classifications. This does not mean that they get to choose; it does have to go through the
process and either would be consistent with the Plan.
Mr. Baker further stated that his concern is going to be that the zoning eliminates 24 hour service
there along with those types of businesses because he can tell you from living here for 40 some
years since the commercial area has come they have had several robberies in this area. The
Dairy Queen has been robbed, Wawa has had some problems, and the bank has had a hold up
once. You can see as a resident, we are starting to get concerned. His other concern will be that
once this is rezoned and we find out what it is going to be there he will be concerned as to how
they buffer the property from the rest of the residents. The reason for that is that we have
livestock behind this area and when it is opened up as you may or may not know, it is hard to see
our property at this point; however, when they remove these houses, it will expose our property
which we have horses on. This is going to cause a potential problem because he already has
some problems with the apartments across the street as he has people who come over and want to
stick their hands over and want to feed the horses. As this moves forward these are the things
that we would like to see addressed.
Mrs. Bonnie Reidy – 4 Mifflin Road also known as 1512 Forrest Avenue – Stated that the
concerns that have been brought up today have been brought up many times before. She has
been a resident of Mifflin Road for twenty-eight (28) years and when they first moved there, it
was a country setting. We then went to five (5) lanes of traffic with the turn lane in the middle
with several accidents happening on the corner as they still do. The traffic concerns are going to
become more evident once the high school comes in and there is no stopping that right now
because that is in the making and we will have a lot of younger drivers. She does not see the
traffic as being the issue here because the traffic is already there. She does not see how that is
Página 77
going to change anything. As far as bringing in people who are unwanted, their own house on
the corner was also robbed, these things do happen. She does not see with changing this from
Residential to Commercial that it is going to change any of that.
Mr. Hemmig closed the public hearing after seeing no one else wishing to speak.
Mr. Hemmig stated that he understands that people commenting on this the last time at the
Planning Commission meeting and City Council meeting are here again. He has personal
concerns with the types of commercial uses without some restrictions. You are jumping the
creek here and going into heavy residential areas.
Mr. Friedman stated that we have spent a lot of time in working with the WSFS Bank and the
Wawa site making sure that the WSFS was a lower level of density. He would not be in favor of
zoning this to C-2A as it is in a residential neighborhood area.
Mr. Baldwin questioned if this application moves forward, there will be a hearing on the
rezoning correct? Responding to Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Townshend stated yes, the Rezoning
hearing will be scheduled for next month. This only changes the Comprehensive Plan which
technically under State law would have to happen before we could rezone the piece to either C-
2A or CPO.
Mr. Ambruso stated that he was not comfortable with changing the zoning just for the sake of
changing it. We already know what it is; we do not know what it will be.
Mr. Hemmig stated that he would agree with Mr. Ambruso as he is opposed as we have the
Comprehensive Plan laid out as medium residential and he feels that it should stay that way.
Mr. Ambruso moved to forward recommendation to City Council to deny MI-12-01
Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2012 Part A- request to change from Residential Low-Density
to Commercial, seconded by Mr. Friedman and the motion was unanimously carried 6-0 with
Mr. Holt, Mr. Nichols and Colonel Welsh absent.
Part B: Request from a property located south of South Little Creek Road and east of Horsepond
Road to be added to Map 13-1: Annexation Areas as a Category 2 Annexation Area and added to
Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas with a Land Use Classification as
Agriculture.
Mrs. Townshend stated that this is for property that is located east of Horsepond Road and south
of South Little Creek Road that is to be added to the annexation area. Currently, there are
properties adjacent to this that front Horsepond Road that are within the Category 1 Annexation
area. In keeping with the policy of limited or no growth east of State Route 1, the larger
properties that are east of Horsepond Road and south of South Little Creek Road were never
included in the annexation area. The property owner of this property had approached the City
and is working with a solar energy provider to look at the idea of developing solar energy on the
site. There have been some discussions with the City in this regard and with the Dover Air Force
Base on how the energy could be used. At this point, her understanding is that neither the Base
Página 78
nor the City has committed to purchasing energy from a solar facility here. Neither the City
Electric Department nor the Base has determined whether there is any interest in pursuing that.
This cannot be considered for annexation unless it is in the annexation area. The applicant has
requested that this area be added to the annexation area as Category 2 with a Land Use
Designation of Agriculture.
Mr. Friedman left the meeting at 8:40 PM leaving quorum for the remainder of the meeting at
five (5) members.
Mrs. Townshend further stated that Staff has received the PLUS comments regarding this
application and there was not a lot of detail provided on this particular area from the State
because it is Level IV and because it is east of State Route 1. The State does not object to the
Plan Amendment because of the restrictions of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone and the fact
that we would be looking to bring it into an Agricultural zone.
There was no comment from any Planning Commission members at this time.
Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Hemmig stated that it makes sense to bring this as future area for annexation.

UTILITY COMMITTEE
The Utility Committee Meeting was held on February 27, 2012 at 5:39 p.m. with Chairman Bonar
presiding. Members present were Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman.
Members of Council present were Mr. Hare (departed at 5:48 p.m.) and Mr. Hutchison (arrived at
5:49 p.m.). Mayor Carey (arrived at 5:41 p.m.) was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented.
Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Lexington Glen - Phase I
Members were advised that Ashburn Homes, Inc., the party responsible for completing the public
infrastructure within Phase 1 of the Lexington Glen Subdivision, has requested that all public
infrastructure improvements related to this phase be dedicated to the City of Dover for permanent
ownership and maintenance. Members reviewed an outline of all public improvements associated
with Phase 1 and a map showing the general location and configuration of the subject rights-of-way.
The total construction value of the public improvements is $1,184,627. Ashburn Homes, Inc. has
completed construction of the improvements within Phase 1 in accordance with City standards and
specifications. After construction was completed, City staff inspected the public improvements and
developed a list of repairs to be made to meet the City of Dover Standards and Specifications for
Public Works Construction. As of this date, all work required by Ms. Sharon Duca, Interim Public
Works Director, has been completed.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that a one (1) year Maintenance Agreement,
Letter of Credit, and a Release of Liabilities is required to be submitted as part of the dedication
process. Although the Letter of Credit had not yet been submitted, he stated that it was anticipated
that it would be received prior to consideration of the Committee’s recommendation by City Council.
As-built drawings of the infrastructure have been provided to staff.
Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure in
Phase 1 of the Lexington Glen Subdivision, with the stipulation that the Letter of Credit must be
received prior to Council action, with dedication to include all of the referenced public
improvements, as follows:
Sewer Utility Infrastructure (Construction Value = $234,137 ):
10" SDR-35 PVC Sanitary Sewer Main - 1,865 l.f.

Mrs. Williams moved to recommend acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public
infrastructure for Lexington Glen - Phase I to include all of the referenced public
improvements, as recommended by staff, with the stipulation that the Letter of Credit is
received prior to Council action. The motion was seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously
carried.
Cash-In-Lieu of Pump Station Upgrades Agreement - Village of Maple Dale Senior Housing
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the Village of Maple Dale Senior Housing
Subdivision is currently under construction and that the subdivision is in the sanitary sewer basin that
flows to the Retreat Pump Station, which is located on Pine Valley Road. The Retreat Pump Station
is in need of upgrades in order to properly handle the proposed sanitary sewer flow from the
complete build out of the Village of Maple Dale Senior Housing Subdivision. He stated that,
typically, the developer would have to perform the upgrades to the infrastructure prior to building
residences. The complete replacement of the Retreat Pump Station is planned to occur in
Fiscal Year 2016. As such, staff believes that it is in the best interest of all to perform the overall
replacement as planned in Fiscal Year 2016 but to utilize a cash-in-lieu of agreement with the
developer rather than perform the upgrades now. He assured members that this would ensure that
the new components are not removed after only four (4) years of usage.
Mr. Koenig explained that, in lieu of the pump station upgrades, staff and Becker Morgan
Group, Inc., (consulting engineer) agreed that a specified number of residences (30 townhomes and
18 condominium units) could be built without affecting the performance of the existing pump
station. This was determined after a fairly extensive technical review of the pump station’s capacity
and performance, as well as projected flows and construction timeframe. The monetary value of the
upgrades that would be required for the pump station ($36,570) was established following staff’s
review and approval of submitted estimates. Members reviewed a draft agreement in which Maple
Dale Country Club, Inc., would pay for the necessary improvements to the pump station. This
agreement states that only 30 townhomes and 18 condominium units could be built before the
Retreat Pump Station is replaced.
Página 88
UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 3
Staff recommended execution of the agreement.
In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig indicated that construction has already begun on four (4) units
and the required building permits have been obtained. He assured members that the City would
require payment of the cash-in-lieu amount of $36,570 prior to issuing any additional building
permits.
Mrs. Williams moved to recommend execution of a cash-in-lieu agreement with Maple Dale
Country Club, Inc. (Attachment #1), with the stipulation that no additional building permits
would be issued without receipt of payment in full in the amount of $36,570. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried.
North American Energy Services (NAES) Agreement Extension
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that an Operations and Maintenance (O & M)
Agreement for the City’s electric generating facilities was entered into with North American Energy
Services (NAES) in 2006. The previous City Manager was prepared to extend the agreement as it
currently stands through May 31, 2014. Mr. Koenig stated that, given recent discussions regarding
electric rates and cost of service, staff believes that the City should renegotiate the terms of the
O & M Agreement. Mr. Koenig indicated that, based on the review of Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s
Utility Attorney, the initial term of the NAES contract was four (4) years, ending in June 2010, and
the agreement has an evergreen provision that would permit the City to extend the agreement on an
annual basis after the initial term. All the compensation provisions remain except escalation, which
is an annual adjustment. The City may terminate the agreement by giving notice at least 18 months
before the proposed termination date. This notice may be given at any time. A request may be made
at any time to enter into sole source negotiations with NAES to adjust the terms of compensation.
Staff recommended that Council authorize the City Manager to: 1) issue a letter advising NAES of
the City’s desire to review and renegotiate the terms of the O & M Agreement; and 2) issue a letter
to Mr. Kirk Betts, Utility Attorney, to commence the contract negotiations.
Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig indicated that the concept of issuing a Request for
Proposals (RFP) was discussed by Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, and Mr. Betts. It was
his understanding that once NAES is notified of the City’s desire to renegotiate, they will respond
with a very favorable contract price; however, he assured members that if this is not the case, the
City could solicit proposals through the market.
Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City
Manager to: 1) issue a letter advising North American Energy Services (NAES) of the City’s
desire to review and renegotiate the terms of the Operations and Maintenance (O & M)
Agreement; and 2) issue a letter to Mr. Kirk Betts, Utility Attorney, to commence contract
negotiations. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.
Update - Green Energy Funding and Programming
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that members received an update on Green Energy Funding
and Programming and offered to respond to any questions.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 4
Update - Garrison Oak Technical Park Project
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff is working on finalizing the plat for the Garrison
Oak Technical Park so that lots can be recorded. It was his understanding that Calpine Corporation
has filed an application which is scheduled for consideration by the Planning Commission during
their March meeting. He noted that the Calpine project will be constructed on one of the lots created
by the subdivision of the Garrison Oak Technical Park.
Mr. Koenig advised members that staff has also been working with Becker Morgan Group, the
consulting engineer, regarding the construction drawings for the roads and the water and sewer
systems associated with the subdivision plan related to the project. He stated that the discussions
with Calpine Corporation are separate and on-going.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:52 P.M.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on February 27, 2012
at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived
at 6:08 p.m.), Mr. Hare (arrived at 6:01 p.m.), Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present
were Mr. Bonar (arrived at 6:15 p.m.), Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Lynn, and Mrs. Williams (arrived at 6:16 p.m.).
Mayor Carey was also present (arrived at 6:03 p.m.).
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Dr. Jones and
unanimously carried.
Staff Recommendations - Economic Development Office (Tabled by Committee on
February 13, 2012)
During their meeting of January 9, 2012, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a memorandum
outlining a recommendation for restructuring the City’s Economic Development Office (EDO) and
the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). Members tabled the matter to allow the DDP Board to
submit a response.
During their meeting of February 13, 2012, members again reviewed staff’s recommendation for
restructuring the City’s EDO and, after much discussion, they tabled the matter to allow staff
additional time to work with the DDP on the development of a recommendation.
By unanimous consent, the matter was removed from the table.
Mr. Koenig stated that, during the deliberations that have taken place over the last two (2) months
regarding the recommendation to separate the economic development function of the City from the
staffing of the DDP, many details were brought forth, and he felt that the initially proposed concept
was lost. In an effort to help move the discussion forward, Mr. Koenig developed a simplified
graphic representation of the current EDO/DDP structure and the proposed structure, which would
separate the two (2) functions, and he reviewed this concept with members.
Mr. Koenig noted that the long-term cost savings that would be produced by staff’s recommendation
would apply in two (2) ways: 1) two (2) positions would be cut from the budget and the current
employees would be relocated to other departments where vacancies exist; and 2) the City would
continue to provide financial support for the DDP; however, there would be no unfunded liability
or Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs associated with staff hired by the DDP. He
reminded members that these are costs that would escalate over time and would impact the budget
on a long-term basis under the current structure.
Mr. Koenig reviewed a memorandum that he had prepared to address some of the questions that
were posed during the previous Committee meeting regarding this issue. It was noted that one of
these questions focused on whether or not the EDO is “profitable.” He reviewed an email dated
February 21, 2012, submitted by Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Manager, which
supported the profitability of the department. Mr. Koenig stated that some of the information
provided in this email was subjective and that the annual budget for this function has averaged
approximately $223,000 over the past three (3) fiscal years.
Página 93
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 2
Mr. Koenig stated that one of the reasons for staff’s recommendation was to assist with funding the
City’s budget during the next fiscal year. He reminded members that the EDO was one of the last
“umbrellas” of service added to the City’s portfolio. It was created in 2008 at a time when the
economy started to decline, and since that time this decline has continued. Mr. Koenig noted that
there was no revenue stream associated with the services provided when the EDO was created.
Since funding resources are constrained, Mr. Koenig stated he felt an obligation to discuss with
members whether the EDO is the most critical service and consideration of: a) the manner in which
it is funded; b) how it is operated; or c) the possibility of eliminating it.
It was Mr. Hare’s recollection that, in accordance with the City Charter, the Mayor was responsible
for the City’s economic development and questioned when the Charter was amended to eliminate
this responsibility from the Mayor. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that economic development
transferred from the Mayor’s oversight to a separate office in 2008.
Mrs. Holly Malone, 115 Shinnecock Road (former member of City Council), stated that the duties
of the Mayor are to oversee the Police Department and that the EDO does not fall under the Police
Department. Although Mrs. Malone understood that the Mayor promotes economic development,
she felt this was not his primary responsibility. She noted that economic development is not
currently included in the Mayor’s budget.
For clarification, Dr. McGlumphy noted that prior to 2008/2009, economic development was
included in the job description and objectives for the Mayor’s Office; however, when new job
descriptions were developed at that time, economic development was no longer listed under the
Mayor’s responsibilities. He suggested that Mrs. Malone review the minutes of the Parks,
Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee of June 8, 2009, and September 14, 2009, and
the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee minutes of November 23, 2009.
Dr. McGlumphy explained that these minutes clearly delineate the “power struggle” that occurred
regarding the placement of the EDO in the organization, as well as difficulties in the development
of its objectives and benchmarks.
Mrs. Malone suggested that the Mayor and City Council work together to enhance construction and
building downtown, which is important for the livelihood of the City of Dover.
Noting that there were several concerns regarding staff’s recommendation, Mr. Koenig stated no
objection to developing an alternative recommendation and expressed his willingness to take
direction from the Committee in this regard.
Mr. Lynn reiterated his objections to the EDO being placed under the Planning and Inspections
Department, due to potential conflicts of interest. He explained his opinion that it is imperative that
the integrity of the Planning Department’s opinions with respect to site plans, subdivisions,
conditional use, and rezonings be protected from accusations of bias from the opposing public. He
felt that the economic development professional would be involved with cultivating projects that
Página 94
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 3
would go before the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and City Council. If the economic
development professional were placed under the direction of the Planning Director, in his opinion,
the Planning Director’s independence in these matters would be compromised.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that there are numerous models throughout the country
that endorse having an economic development professional in the planning area. Although he
understood the concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest, he explained that the City’s
economic development professional does not have independent authority to “make deals” or to offer
incentives by his own actions. Any type of proposal for tax abatement or other incentives, over and
above what is prescribed in other plans, would require consideration by Council or another Board
for a recommendation and approval. Mr. Koenig stated his belief that the economic development
professional for the City would have a relatively small range of items to negotiate within the
structure of the City’s government. He also felt that no matter where the economic development
professional is located, that individual would have to work with the Planning Office in a very
integrated fashion, since any proposal presented for economic development would first have the
challenge of assuring that it meets land use specifications. Mr. Koenig reminded members that
within the City’s structure, there are prescribed sets of rules, explaining that the zoning ordinance
indicates what can and what cannot be done with a piece of property. The Board of Adjustment is
required to be very prescriptive in what is authorized and must provide specific reasons for allowing
variances. He assured members that the City of Dover’s government is set up in such a sophisticated
manner that the City could overcome any related challenges.
Mr. Lynn noted that the definition of recklessness is “the conscious knowledge of risk and a
conscious decision to disregard that risk.” He felt that staff has stated that there is a potential risk
and questioned whether the benefit of placing the economic development professional under the
Planning Office would outweigh the risk. He suggested that the economic professional either remain
under the City Manager’s Office or be moved to the Mayor’s Office. Responding, Mr. Koenig felt
that there would be risk regardless of where this individual is placed, explaining that challenges
would occur under any circumstances when there is opposition to a proposed project. He reiterated
his opinion that there would be no more risk for the City if the economic development professional
were placed under the Planning Office than any other office, since the City makes professional
decisions based on the Dover Code and the best interests of the City.
Mr. Lynn also relayed concern that placing the economic development professional under the
Planning Office would diminish the position and give the appearance that they are “less important.”
Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that prior to the City establishing a dedicated economic development
position, economic development for the City was handled through “a committee approach.” He
explained that parties who were interested in development projects in the City would contact either
the Mayor or City Manager and staff would develop an application for the Kent Economic
Development Partnership or the Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO). Several
department heads would then fill in their components of the proposal for submission. Mr. Koenig
felt that, regardless of whether the economic development position serves as a coordinator or a
manager, perceptions of the position would be based on the performance of the individual, in terms
of how articulate and engaging they are. He felt that this would determine the amount of respect they
Página 95
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 4
are afforded by others in the economic development community. Although he understood that being
a department head could add stature to the position, Mr. Koenig reminded members that the City has
constrained resources, which was the rationale for staff’s recommendation. He explained that
placing the position in the City Manager’s Office was not considered because Council had previously
relayed concerns regarding the number of employees in the City Manager’s Office.
Mr. Lynn reminded members that it was previously mentioned that the recommendation was
submitted by staff solely for budgetary reasons. He noted that Mr. Neaton testified that the
City’s EDO has “paid for itself” and referred to the memo provided by Mr. Neaton, dated
February 21, 2012, indicating that if the Calpine project (which Mr. Neaton is currently working on)
comes to fruition, it would generate $2.3M for the City, which would cover the EDO budget for 10
years. He reiterated his opinion that the City’s EDO does “pay for itself” and questioned why there
would be any change whatsoever. Mr. Lynn urged members to reject staff’s recommendation in its
entirety.
Mrs. Williams recalled a previous development project that was handled by the City as a “committee
of staff,” as previously described by Mr. Koenig, which was a team effort that provided the
developer the same message from all facets of the City. She questioned why certain members of
Council were attempting to micro-manage staff, explaining that Mr. Koenig was hired as the City
Manager and that personnel is not the purview of Council. She suggested that members accept
staff’s recommendation.
Mr. Hare indicated his concurrence with the concerns of Mr. Lynn regarding the position being
placed under the Planning Office. He explained his perspective that the economic development
professional seeks businesses to come to the City and that it is not their responsibility to obtain the
necessary permits, etc. He suggested that the individual should work with the Mayor and DEDO and
should not be a part of the Planning Office.
Mr. Anderson reminded members that in September 2011, he suggested that the EDO be relocated
to the Mayor’s Office. At that time, it was decided that members should concentrate on the hiring
of a City Manager. He suggested that his recommendation be reconsidered, noting that the Mayor’s
Office is where the businesses are focused, and he stated the need for someone to advocate
independently from other City departments. Mr. Anderson stated that technically, in accordance with
the City Charter, if the economic development professional is under the City Manager’s charge,
Council’s ability to interact with the professional could be restricted by the City Manager. He noted
that if the position were under the charge of the Planning Office, this restriction would not exist.
However, if the position were under the charge of the Mayor’s Office, he felt it would provide a
unified voice for economic development. Mr. Anderson felt that there are sections of staff’s
recommendation that have merit and suggested that staff reconsider the recommendation for
consideration prior to the new budget year. He also relayed concern that staff’s recommendation in
its current form could risk millions of dollars in State monies by making changes at this time.
Mr. Bob Aellis, 29 Dornoch Way, Townshend, stated that, as a small business owner of Veterans
Lighting and Firesigns 1075, approximately two (2) years ago, representatives from his company
began working with Mr. Neaton and Mayor Carey to bring a Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
Página 96
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 5
manufacturing company from Canada to Dover. He advised members that meetings were held with
several representatives of New Castle County, Sussex County, DEDO, Senators Coons and Carper,
and several other business persons and entities in an attempt to make the manufacturing facility come
to fruition. It was Mr. Aeillis’ opinion that these meetings would not have been possible without the
assistance of Mr. Neaton and the City’s EDO and that Mr. Neaton served as one of the best
facilitators he has worked with. He noted that he has since worked with Mr. Neaton in attempts to
bring other manufacturing facilities to the City of Dover to produce jobs. Mr. Aellis stated his
feeling that the City’s EDO is “more than just dollars and cents and balance sheets.” He indicated
that he is a member of the Delaware Economic Environmental Development (DEED) Committee,
which has referred to the City’s EDO on numerous occasions and is currently in the process of
requesting that Mr. Neaton speak with the DEED Committee. Mr. Aeillis urged members to
maintain the City’s EDO as it currently is today.
Mrs. Malone clarified her understanding that economic development is a part of the Mayor’s
responsibility; however, she felt that Council should work with and assist the Mayor to promote
economic development in the downtown area, as well as the entire City.
Based on members’ comments during the past several meetings, Mr. Bonar suggested that staff go
back to the “drawing board” regarding this issue.
Referring to Mrs. Williams’ comments regarding micro-managing, Mr. Lynn stated that economic
development is critically important to the City; therefore, he was not willing to abdicate his thoughts
and have “blind faith” in the City Manager and provide him “carte blanche.” He explained that
economic development promotes fiscal stability; its business activities create revenues that fund
local services, and the cost and quality of life of every household in the City are directly dependent
on the City’s local economic conditions. He did not consider his position to be one of micro-
managing but an indication that he was performing the duty that he was elected to do, which is to
preserve, maintain, and grow the City’s economy. It was his opinion that the budget issues facing
the City could not be resolved by making “cuts” and suggested that it is necessary is for the City to
“plant seeds” in order to grow its way out of the budget situation.
Mrs. Williams felt that there was a duplication of economic development services provided by the
State, County, and City. It was her feeling that there are more than enough economic development
personnel to assist the City’s growth and that the City should not replicate the efforts of other
entities. She suggested that the issue be given to the City Manager to handle.
Mr. Hutchison stated that he worked on economic opportunity during his tenure as Mayor. He
indicated that he was not an expert on economic development, but served as a contact person for the
City and referred these matter to the experts within the City. Although he understood the importance
of maintaining an economic development professional within the City, he explained the importance
of the Mayor being a part of the economic development system.
Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that staff’s recommendations regarding the EDO be returned
to the City Manager for redevelopment, seconded by Mr. Shevock.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 6
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig confirmed that staff’s recommendations regarding this matter
were initiated when the City was made aware of the desire of the DDP to hire their own Executive
Director. It was his opinion that the only action necessary was for staff to provide a recommended
effective date as to when the City’s EDO would no longer provide administrative support to the
DDP.
On a call for the question, the motion to recommend that staff’s recommendations regarding
the (EDO) be returned to the City Manager for redevelopment was unanimously carried.
Mr. Anderson moved to consider Agenda Item #3 prior to Agenda Item #2, seconded by
Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Authorization to Purchase Virtual Server (Police Department)
Chief Hosfelt presented a request to approve a sole vendor purchase of a Virtual Server/Storage
Array at a cost of $42,600. Members reviewed detailed information regarding the concept of a
virtual server system. Chief Hosfelt explained that migrating to virtual servers and consolidating the
computer data storage in a storage array would yield many benefits and savings over time. The
Police Department would be able to reduce their physical hardware footprint and hardware costs,
power consumption costs, and possibly some software licensing costs if vendor licensing methods
remain the same.
Chief Hosfelt advised members that the purchase would be made from Dell, which is a State contract
vendor source for computer hardware. He explained that it is necessary to purchase Dell equipment
to ensure that the new hardware integrates and communicates properly with the other existing servers
and storage hardware currently in use in the Police Department.
Chief Hosfelt indicated that funds from three (3) grants would be combined for this purchase and
no matching funds would be required of the City.
Staff recommended approval of the sole vendor purchase from Dell for a Virtual Server/Storage
Array at a cost of $42,600.
Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shevock
and unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2012-07 - Incentives for Redevelopment of Vacant Commercial
Buildings
Staff presented members with Proposed Ordinance #2012-07 which would allow for waiver of half
of the building permit fee, half of the City water and wastewater impact fees, and tax abatement on
the value of improvements for redevelopment of commercial buildings of 5,000 square feet or
greater, located along Route 13, Bay Road, Court Street between Bay Road and Route 13, and Route
8 west of the railroad tracks. The proposed ordinance was modeled after the downtown
redevelopment incentives.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 7
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members
that, due to the economic downturn, municipalities in Delaware and elsewhere are offering waivers
of certain fees to help spur economic growth. She noted that the proposed ordinance was drafted
with a “sunset” date of December 31, 2015; therefore, incentives would be available for a finite
period of time while the City attempts to encourage economic growth and filling commercial
vacancies on the City’s primary commercial corridors.
Mrs. Townshend indicated that the costs involved with this incentive would be associated with loss
of revenue related to the waiver and are difficult to quantify, as they would depend upon the cost of
specific commercial building renovations, changes in use that would require additional plumbing
fixtures, and the demand for the incentives.
Staff recommended that the proposed ordinance be forwarded to City Council for a First Reading
on March 12, 2012 and for a Final Reading and Council Action on April 9, 2012.
Mr. Shevock noted that the incentives would be restricted to certain areas of the City and although
he understood the reasons for this, he suggested that the City consider offering the incentives to the
entire City, reminding members that a sunset clause had been incorporated.
Mr. Shevock moved to amend Proposed Ordinance #2012-07 to allow redevelopment incentives
City-wide (removing Lines 17 and 18) and to recommend adoption of the ordinance as
amended (Attachment #1). The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously
carried.
Mr. Shevock moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

Mr. W. Hutchison. Mrs. Russell was absent. Councilman Hare and Mayor Carey were also present
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Davis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. W. Hutchison and unanimously
carried.
Presentation - Silver Lake to Isaacs Branch Trail Concept
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided members
with a map depicting proposed bicycle/pedestrian improvements in the Silver Lake/Isaacs Branch
area (Attachment #1). She reminded members that there is currently a concrete multi-use path that
travels through Silver Lake Park and another path near Public Safety Boulevard, behind Winner
Ford, that travels to Route 10 and is referred to as the Isaacs Branch segment. She advised members
that the State has expressed an interest in connecting these two (2) trail systems with a St. Jones
River Trail. Mrs. Townshend stated that in the last State Bond Bill, monies were earmarked for trails
and, as a result, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and the Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) have become very active in cultivating community
trails.
Mrs. Townshend indicated that both DNREC and DelDOT contacted the City regarding the
possibility of conducting a study (concept plan) regarding a connection between these two (2) trails.
Referring to the map, she reviewed a proposed phased project for the Silver Lake to Isaacs Branch
Trail Concept, which would provide both recreational and transportation benefits for pedestrians and
bicyclists. She noted that the long-term plan would involve several property owners, environmental
issues, etc. Mrs. Townshend advised members that public workshops are planned to discuss the
concept plan and she felt that this matter should be presented to the Committee for their information
prior to the workshops.
The Committee took no further action.
Announcement of Road Closures (Gary Laing)
Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, Delaware Department
of Transportation (DelDOT), explained that DelDOT has scheduled several repaving projects in the
next year and advised members that some of the work includes the City’s Historic District and
involves curb ramps, road striping, etc. He assured members that DelDOT has complied with the
mandate to notify residents regarding planned night work. Mr. Laing noted that very little response
has been received in response to DelDOT’s notification, which clearly indicated that non-response
from residents would be construed by DelDOT as consent.
Mr. Laing stated that he was not aware of the construction schedule and, therefore, did not have a
start date for the project. However, he noted that DelDOT takes certain events, such as Dover Days,
NASCAR races, and holidays, into consideration when scheduling work and would not allow street
closures during these times.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 PAGE 2
Chairman Hutchison requested that Mr. Laing provide staff with the details, including the exact dates
and streets involved.
Responding to Mr. W. Hutchison, Mr. Laing explained that roadways are constructed so that the
water runs off toward the curb and into the drainage system and water can accumulate where
American Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk ramps are located. He indicated that it is hoped that the
drainage system will support the runoff of water; however, water can sometimes build up in these
areas, particularly during heavy rains.
Discussion - Establishing City Emergency Operations Center (January 23, 2012 - Committee
Recommended Referral Back to Staff for a Report to the Committee at the Next Committee
Meeting)
During their meeting of January 23, 2012, members reviewed correspondence from Mr. Dave Truax,
Fire Marshal, relaying his concerns regarding the City’s lack of emergency preparedness awareness
(outside of emergency services and emergency management personnel) and the need for an
operational Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the City. After much discussion, the matter was
referred back to staff for a report to the Committee at their next meeting.
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, provided members a brief history of the City’s Emergency
Management Plan (approved by the Mayor in August 2010) and stated that he felt the basic plan
would meet the City’s current needs, although modifications would be needed as the City moves
forward. He advised members that there are updates in the text of the plan that need to become
more “fluid” and noted that this has not occurred because the Emergency Management Coordinator
retired and a replacement was not hired due to budgetary reasons. The current plan provides for the
EOC to be located at City Hall, the designation of the City’s Police Department as a backup to the
City Hall EOC, and the establishment of the Kent 911 Center as backup to the Police Department
EOC. He stated that the City could also utilize the Electric Administration Building if necessary.
Mr. Koenig advised members that the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) uses
guidelines entitled “Design Recommendations and Criteria for Emergency Operations” as a
framework for designing their EOC and advised members of some of the criteria included. He
indicated that keeping the EOC at City Hall would meet many of the requirements and that it would
be nearly impossible to integrate an EOC into any building and have it meet all of the requirements.
Mr. Koenig noted that City Hall has ample space that is readily accessible by employees, public
officials, and the public and felt assured that the Police Department would not find it desirable for
people (such as volunteers) to wander through their facility during a crisis event. In addition, he
noted that City Hall has restrooms, kitchen facilities, and separate rooms for confidential meetings
and briefings (which play an important role in the establishment of an EOC), and additional space
for a sleeping area if deemed necessary.
Mr. Koenig noted that the only shortcoming for the use of City Hall as the EOC is the lack of a
backup power source. As a result, he suggested that a generator be installed at City Hall, which
would produce enough power to run a portion of the building.
Página 101
SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 PAGE 3
Mr. Koenig stated that during the design of the new Library, there was discussion regarding the
concept of adding space for a designed and constructed EOC, at a cost of $500,000 to $1M. Staff
felt that due to the costs, it was not possible to include an EOC and there was no further action taken
to bring the matter to City Council.
Mr. Koenig stated his opinion that it would be in the best interest of the City to assign City Hall as
the primary EOC. He also suggested that City Council be requested to reassign emergency
management duties to a specific individual within the City’s organization. He advised members that
this request will be presented to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee during their
next meeting scheduled for March 12, 2012.
Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig indicated that upon the retirement of the City’s
Emergency Management Coordinator, his duties were dispersed among three (3) employees: the
Public Affairs Coordinator, the Public Services Manager, and the City Manager. He recommended
that all responsibilities be assigned to the Public Affairs Coordinator.
In response to Mr. Davis, Mr. Koenig stated that the generator is currently being stored at the
Warehouse and that the electrical engineers have estimated connection costs at $15,000 to $50,000,
depending upon the need for a new pad. He indicated that he had not resolved to use that particular
generator at this time; however, staff would continue to review this matter and will likely include
a recommendation as part of the budget preparation for next fiscal year.
At the request of Mr. Hutchison, Chief Hosfelt indicated his support for the recommendations
presented by the City Manager.
Mr. Lynn moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to establish City Hall as
the City’s designated Emergency Operations Center (EOC), with the Dover Police Department
to serve as the backup EOC, and the Kent County 911 Center to serve as the City’s temporary
(alternate) backup to the Police Department. The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis and
unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance - #2012-06 Creating a New Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew
Mr. Hare reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew and explained that
the proposed ordinance mimics the City of Milford’s juvenile curfew ordinance. He noted that the
proposal was the result of his participation in numerous “ride alongs” with the Dover Police
Department. Mr. Hare felt that there was no reason for individuals under the age of 17 to be out in
the late night/early morning hours. During his “ride alongs,” he observed several 13 to 14-year-olds
walking the streets at 2:00 a.m. When questioned by the police, these juveniles indicated that they
would be going home, only to be observed walking the streets again at 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. He
advised members that the police indicated that they have no authority to take action in this regard.
Referring to the comments submitted by Mrs. Russell, dated February 29, 2012 (Attachment #2),
Mr. Hare advised members that his observations were made in various areas throughout the City and
not just in the Fourth District. He indicated that the State of Delaware does not have a curfew law.
Página 102
SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 PAGE 4
Mr. Hare felt that the proposed ordinance includes provisions that would allow a juvenile with
legitimate reasons to be out late in the evening or early morning hours and addresses other concerns
that may be raised.
Responding to Mr. W. Hutchison, Chief Hosfelt indicated that the proposed ordinance would provide
police officers a useful tool and he did not feel that enforcement would place a burden on the Police
Department.
Mr. Lynn moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 -
Juvenile Curfew, seconded by Mr. W. Hutchison and unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions
Mr. Lynn presented Proposed Ordinance #2012-08, which would amend Chapter 70 - Offenses and
Miscellaneous Provisions, by prohibiting registered Tier II and Tier III sex offenders from living or
working within 500 feet of a daycare center and from participating in certain events involving
children. He advised members that constituents in the White Oak/Towne Point area approached him
regarding their concerns related to a home that had been occupied by multiple sex offenders and was
located in close proximity to a daycare center.
Mr. Lynn advised members of a situation that occurred in the City of Wilmington whereby a daycare
center moved near a residence occupied by multiple sex offenders (Harriet Tubman Safe House).
The City of Wilmington police attempted to enforce the prohibition against sex offenders living near
a school, which would have forced the sex offenders to move. He noted that the State statute
indicates that sex offenders may not reside or work within 500 feet of a school; however, he
explained his interpretation that the term “school” does not include daycare centers. The American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) litigated the Harriet Tubman case and stated they felt that the
provisions regarding schools, as indicated in the State statute, do not refer to daycare centers.
Mr. Lynn explained that the practical effect of the ACLU’s argument is that more protection is
afforded to children from five (5) to 18 years of age than children zero (0) to five (5) years of age,
although he suggested that this may not have been the General Assembly’s intent. As a result,
Mr. Lynn felt that the City should address the issue to resolve any problems and protect the safety
of the children within the City of Dover.
In researching the matter, Mr. Lynn stated that there is a “routine activity” theory (developed in 1979
by Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen) which indicates that for crimes to occur, three (3)
conditions must exist: 1) the presence of a motivated offender; 2) access to a potential victim; and
3) absence of capable guardians to prevent criminal activity. Applying this to sex offender residence
restrictions would suggest that predatory or pedophiliac sex offenders are most likely to commit new
assaults against children when they have unrestricted or unmonitored access to them. Thus, living
in close proximity to schools or other places known to cater to children might increase opportunities
for sex offenders to have contact with children or view children playing, thus reinforcing their
already sexually deviant preferences and facilitating child sexual abuse.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 PAGE 5
Mr. Lynn stated that although there have not been many studies conducted regarding recidivism rates
and close proximity to daycare centers and schools, he located a study conducted by
Dr. Paul Zandbergen (available at www.paulzandbergen.com), which indicates that evidence was
not conclusive that the residential restrictions have any effect on recidivism rates; however,
Dr. Zandbergen noted that there were limitations to his study. Specifically, he noted that the sample
size was diluted by the inclusion of low-level sex offenders.
Mr. Lynn explained that the State of Delaware and General Assembly determined that it was not
desirable to have sex offenders living or working within 500 feet of schools and, as such, this same
protection should be provided to children aged zero (0) to five (5) years of age. He noted that the
proposed ordinance amendment applies only to Tier II and Tier III sex offenders and only to
commercial daycare centers (in-home daycare centers would not be included). He also noted that
any sex offenders affected by the amendment would have one (1) year to comply.
Referring to the comments submitted by Mrs. Russell (see Attachment #2), Mr. Lynn stated that if
a daycare center were to open next to a sex offender’s residence, the sex offender would have one
(1) year to relocate, the same timeframe would apply to offenders who currently reside within the
specified distance of a daycare center. According to his discussions with Chief Hosfelt, the Police
Department would be able to handle enforcement of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Lynn explained
that the proposed ordinance does not include home daycare centers because their inclusion would
prohibit sex offenders from living almost anywhere in the City of Dover. He assured members that
the proposed ordinance does not violate State law.
Chief Hosfelt introduced Cpl. Harvey Jaksch and Cpl. Mickie Price, who serve as the Sex Offenders
Unit for the City of Dover Police Department. He explained that the number of sex offenders
changes daily and that it is estimated that there are 10 sex offenders in the City that the proposed
ordinance would affect currently. He stated that there are 192 Tier II and Tier III sex offenders and
a total of 213 sex offenders in the City of Dover. Chief Hosfelt stated that the monitoring practices
employed by the City’s Sex Offenders Unit far exceed State requirements.
Chief Hosfelt stated that, after researching sample ordinances throughout the nation, staff determined
that similar ordinances have included language concerning holidays (such as wearing costumes,
distributing candy, etc.). It was staff’s opinion that the City’s ordinance should include such
language as well; therefore, it was incorporated in the proposed ordinance (see Prohibited Activities
for Sexual Offenders).
Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community
Development, clarified that although drafts of the proposed ordinance were submitted to the City
Solicitor’s Office for review, the final draft has not been reviewed at this time.
Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, indicated that once a recommendation is formulated by the
Committee, staff would forward the draft ordinance to the City Solicitor for final review prior to
Council action. Mr. Lynn advised members that copies of the proposed ordinance have also been
forwarded to the Attorney General’s Office for their review and comment.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 PAGE 6
Mrs. Townshend stated that a map depicting the commercial daycare centers within the City was
available. Chief Hosfelt stated that there are currently 35 commercial daycare centers and 63
in-home daycare centers.
Mr. Lynn moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 - Chapter 70 -
Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried.
Update - Dover High School Construction
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded
members that during their previous meeting there was much discussion regarding the new Dover
High School’s east entrance (which lines up with Heatherfield East), which had been planned as a
signalized intersection with a pedestrian crossing. She reminded members that the most recent
comments received from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) were extremely
adamant that their traffic section opposes a signal in this location. She stated that the City Manager
sent a letter to Secretary Bhatt, as directed, to relay support for the signalization of the east entrance
intersection and a pedestrian crossing. Staff received a response from Secretary Bhatt indicating that
the letter was received and forwarded to appropriate staff. If a positive response is not received, she
anticipated the need for the City to seek assistance from legislators.
Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, DelDOT, stated that
he spoke with the Director of Traffic regarding this matter and advised members that the Capital
School District had conducted a traffic study for a signal at the west entrance, where the warrants
were met. He advised members that in order for a signal to be installed, the intersection must meet
warrants and that the installation of signals involves liability issues.
In response to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend stated that a signal was proposed for the east entrance on
the plan documents that were submitted and approved by the Planning Commission. She assured
members that DelDOT was included in development meetings with the developer for the Dover High
School project.
Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Laing stated that the DelDOT Director of Traffic has
recommended that the Capital School District request another study. He stated that it is not unusual
for a development site plan that is submitted to a municipality or other governmental organization
to include a traffic signal; however, that does not commit DelDOT to install the signal, since a study
would not have been completed to determine whether or not a signal is warranted.
Mr. Hutchison requested that staff reach out to all involved parties in an attempt to resolve this
matter and that the City submit a request for a study.
Mr. Davis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

SA&T Committee Meeting of February 29, 2012
February 29, 2012
I am unable to attend tonight’s Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting; however, I would like to express my
opinion regarding Agenda Item #4A, Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 Creating a New Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew, and
Agenda Item #4B, Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions.
4A. Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 Creating a New Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew
I do not support this Proposed Ordinance. I believe that this ordinance would place an undue burden on the parents of the
children who violate it. Many parents work jobs or hours that make it difficult for them to monitor their children all the time.
Additionally, I believe that every child should be treated consistently and that this ordinance allows for each case to be
handled at the discretion of the police officer. I am also concerned because I believe that this Proposed Ordinance will
negatively impact residents in the 4th District.
I would like staff to provide answers to the following questions:
• Does the State have a curfew law?
• If the State does not have a curfew law, then why is it necessary for the City to develop a curfew law?
• What are the consequences if the parent is unable to pay the fines?
4B. Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions
I do not agree with this Proposed Ordinance. I personally believe that those individuals who are required to register with the
State as sex offenders have paid their debt to society and should not be continuously punished for their crime. In regard to
youth who are convicted sex offenders, I believe that the labeling of these individuals prevents them from obtaining
employment and increases the chance that they will develop drug and alcohol problems. If sex offenders register with the
State, follow all established rules and regulations, and pay their taxes, I believe that is enough. It is my opinion that this
Proposed Ordinance will negatively impact many residents in the 4th District.
In addition, I am not sure that this type of legislation will solve the problem, because there are so many exceptions to the rules.
For example, I previously spoke with the Chief of Police regarding a registered sex offender living across the street from
Booker T. Washington Elementary School and next to a home daycare center, and he informed me that sex offenders are
classified according to different levels. He explained that this particular offender was not prohibited from communication
with young children because the nature of his original offense did not involve youth.
I would like staff to provide answers to the following questions:
• What if a registered offender has signed a lease and established residency, and then a daycare center
opens?
• How will the City enforce this ordinance for those sex offenders who are now in violation?
• Will the Police Department be able to handle the enforcement of this ordinance?
• Why does this not address home daycare centers?
• Are we in violation of the State laws pertaining to this matter?
Respectfully,
Sophia R. Russell, Fourth District Representative

ISSUED PAID
Listed below are the major crimes and activities that occurred during the month of January:
On January 2, 2012, at approximately 1300 hours, an unknown white male, possibly Hispanic, entered a local bank
located on N. DuPont Hwy., and once inside, produced a hand written note demanding money. He then indicated he
had a gun and fled with an undetermined amount of money. The subject was described as being between the ages of
30-40, 5’07”—5’08”, thin build, wearing a dark blue winter coat, blue jeans, and a black knit cap. An arrest of the
subject was made in this case.
On January 3, 2012, between 0800-2000 hours, an unknown person(s) entered a victim’s residence through an unsecure
window and removed electronic equipment and US currency before fleeing. Currently, there are no known suspects for
this incident.
On January 5, 2012, Dover Detectives responded to Bay Health Hospital Emergency Room to investigate an
assault/stabbing. The investigation revealed that the two male victims, who are brothers, age 20 and 26 were at a local
restaurant/bar and became involved in a physical altercation with unknown suspects in the rear parking lot at
approximately 0115 hours. During the altercation, the 26 year old victim sustained an apparent broken jaw. The 20
year old victim was stabbed two times and sustained injuries to his kidney area and intestines. Both victims left the
scene and were taken to a residence in Camden, DE. A 911 call was placed from the Camden residence and both
victims were transported to Bay Health in Dover. Dover Officers did not receive any calls about the altercation and did
not respond to the establishment at the time of the original incident. The 26 year old victim was treated at Bay Health
Hospital for the broken jaw. His 20 year old brother was airlifted to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia, PA to undergo surgery. He was listed in critical condition. An arrest of the subject was made in this
case.
The Criminal Investigations Unit made an arrest in a burglary that occurred during the holiday break at the University
of Delaware campus on Transportation Circle in Dover. The investigation revealed that the suspect used his girlfriend's
key to gain access to the university. The suspect's girlfriend is an employee who was out of town during the time of the
incident. Once inside, the suspect removed laptop computers and other electronic equipment. The suspect was later
identified and arrested without incident.

On January 11, 2012, the Dover Police Sex Offender Unit obtained a warrant for a registered Tier 2 Sex Offender after
he checked out of his motel and failed to notify S.B.I. within three days as required by law.
On January 22, 2012, Dover Officers responded to an apartment complex regarding a possible robbery and abduction
of a victim who was reported to have been taken hostage by an armed gunman. The reporting person, age 26, stated
that he and the alleged victim were accosted by armed suspects in the parking lot at the apartment complex and that the
victim was forced into an apartment in “F” Building. He then fled and further reported that the victim’s girlfriend had
gone to the apartment and was forced out by an armed gunman. He stated that the girlfriend advised that the victim
was being pistol whipped by the suspects. Dover Officers activated the Crisis Negotiation Team and the Special
Operations Response Team, who, in turn, initiated evacuation procedures. Crisis Negotiators were able to establish that
the alleged victim was not present at the apartment complex and that he was safe. The victim denied being held
hostage at any point in time, and simultaneously, the reporting person admitted to Dover Detectives that he had
fabricated the story. He was arrested for Falsely Reporting an Incident.
On January 22, 2012, at approximately 0700 hours, Dover Officers responded to a robbery complaint that had occurred
in the Bay Health Hospital Emergency Room waiting area. The investigation revealed that the 72 year old female
victim was struck in the head and her purse was forcibly removed from her while she was seated in the waiting room.
The suspect fled on foot but was apprehended by Bay Health Security Officers after a foot chase. All of the victim’s
property was returned and the suspect was turned over to responding Dover Officers. The victim was treated and
released from the emergency room for a minor head contusion.
On January 20, 2012, at approximately 0100 hours, it was reported that masked subjects made entry into a victim’s
apartment which is located in the unit block of N. Governors Avenue. One of the subjects displayed a handgun and the
victim was threatened with it. The subjects then fled from the residence once they obtained money from the victim. A
joint investigation with Dover Detectives and the Delaware State Police led to the identities of the subjects involved in
the home invasion. The three suspects were apprehended in Cecil County, Maryland and were extradited back to
Delaware.
On Friday, January 27, 2012 at approximately 1500 hours, a Dover Officer was on patrol when he conducted a traffic
stop of the subjects. After detecting the odor of fresh marijuana, and locating drug paraphernalia on one of the
defendants, a vehicle search was conducted. The officer then located a large amount of pre-packaged marijuana and a
loaded handgun. It was discovered that the handgun was stolen from a neighboring jurisdiction.
On January 29, 2012, at approximately 2045 hours, a delivery driver from a local pizza establishment was robbed at
gunpoint by two males in the area of Forrest Creek Drive. The suspects were described as being between 16-20 years
of age and wearing dark clothing. One of them produced a handgun, demanded the food and money, then both fled on
foot. An arrest of both subjects has been made in this case.

lawyers and legal assistants as appropriate under the circumstances. The specific terms of my
firm's engagement are as follows:
1. Fees and Hourly Rates: My firm's fee to negotiate collective bargaining agreements
outside of mediation, arbitration, or litigation between the City and the FOP, the City and DOE,
and the wage and benefits portion of the IBEW collective bargaining agreement shall be FIFTY-

Any additional services including mediation, arbitration, and litigation, and tasks associated with
mediation, arbitration, and litigation, shall be additional services not included in the fee schedule
above, and shall be separately invoiced at the hourly rate of $160 per hour. I may rely upon
other lawyers and assistants in my firm for additional services including Kevin Baird, Esquire,
and Michael Hoffman, Esquire, whose services shall also be invoiced at the hourly rate of $160
per hour.
2. Billing: My firm will provide you with monthly invoices that itemize all fees and
costs expended on your behalf. All invoices are due and payable upon receipt, and any balances
which remain outstanding more than 60 days may accrue interest.
3. Retainer: My firm will not require an advance retainer for this representation. If we
receive any money from you that is not for fees earned or costs it will be placed into our Rule
1.15 attorney trust account and will be applied to future invoices. Any of those funds remaining
in our trust account at the end of this representation will be returned to you.
4. Expedited Matters: Should you require our services on an expedited or emergency
basis, we may charge at a higher rate.
5. Termination for Non-Pavment: We reserve the right to terminate our attorney/client
relationship for non-payment of fees and costs.
6. Costs: "Costs" include any and all out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees,
transcript costs, expert fees, copying costs, long distance telephone calls, cellular telephone
charges, and travel expenses. All costs expended on your behalf will be itemized and billed on
each monthly statement.
7. Documents/files: 1 may send you documents, correspondence, and other information
throughout the representation. These copies will be your file copies, please retain them. I will
also keep the information in a file in my office, which will be my file. At the conclusion of your
matter, I will close my file and store your file for approximately five years. I will destroy the file
after that period unless you instruct me in writing now to keep your file longer.
8. Miscellaneous. Every effort will be made to keep you well informed as to the
progress of all matters at all times. Please feel free to call at any time to discuss the present
status or any other aspect of any matter.
I have made no guarantees regarding the disposition of any phase of any matters in which
the City has sought or may seek my assistance, and any estimation of the probable outcome is
expressed only as an opinion.

54 taxed for a period of time not to exceed ten years from the date of the making of the
55 improvements. The said ten-year period will commence with the date of issuance of a building
56 permit. The property tax waiver shall apply only to the improvements and not to the property
57 value assessed prior to the improvements.

3 That the Dover Code of Ordinances be amended by inserting a new Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew, to read
4 as follows:
5 Chapter 59 - JUVENILE CURFEW
6 Sec. 59-1. - Definitions.
7 When not inconsistent with the context, words used in the present tense include the future, words
8 in the plural number include the singular, and words in the singular number include the plural. The word
9 "shall" is always mandatory and not merely directory. The following words, terms and phrases, when used
10 in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly
11 indicates a different meaning:
12 City means the City of Dover, Delaware, with administrative offices at 15 Loockerman Plaza, Dover,
13 Delaware.
14 Emergency means an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for
15 immediate action. The term includes, but is not limited to, a fire, natural disaster, automobile accident, or
16 any situation requiring immediate action to prevent serious bodily injury or loss of life.
17 Establishment means any privately owned place of business operated for a profit to which the public
18 is invited, including, but not limited to, any place of amusement or entertainment.
19 Juvenile or Minor means any unemancipated person under the age of 17 or, in equivalent phrasing
20 often herein employed, any person 16 or fewer years of age.
21 Operator means any individual, firm, association, partnership, or corporation operating, managing,
22 or conducting any establishment. The term includes the members or partners of an association or partnership

Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew Page 2
29 Public Place means any place to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access and
30 includes, but is not limited to, streets, common areas of schools, shopping centers, parking lots, parks,
31 playgrounds, transportation facilities, theaters, restaurants, shops, bowling alleys, taverns, cafes, arcades,
32 and similar areas that are open to the use of the public. As a type of public place, a street is a way or place,
33 of whatever nature, open to the use of the public as a matter of right for purposes of vehicular travel or, in
34 the case of a sidewalk thereof, for pedestrian travel. "Street" includes that legal right-of-way, including, but
35 not limited to, the cartway of traffic lanes, the curb, the sidewalks, whether paved or unpaved, and any grass
36 plots or other grounds found within the legal right-of-way of a street.
37 Remain means to stay behind, to tarry, and to stay unnecessarily in a public place, including the
38 congregating of groups (or of interacting minors) totaling four or more persons in which any juvenile
39 involved would not be using the streets for ordinary or serious purposes such as mere passage or going
40 home, or to fail to leave the premises of an establishment when requested to do so by a police officer or the
41 operator of an establishment. To implement this provision with additional precision and precaution,
42 numerous exceptions are expressly defined in this chapter. More exceptions become available with a
43 juvenile's increasing years and advancing maturity as appropriate in the interest of reasonable regulation.
44 Time of Night means based upon the prevailing standard of time, whether Eastern standard time or
45 Eastern daylight savings time, generally observed at that hour by the public in the city, prima facie the time
46 then observed in the city administrative offices and police station.
47 Years of Age means continues from one birthday, such as the 16th, to (but not including the day of)
48 the next, such as the 17th birthday, making it clear that 16 or fewer years of age is herein treated as
49 equivalent to the phrase "under 17 years of age." Similarly, for example, 11 or fewer years of age means
50 "under 12 years of age."
51 Sec. 59-2. - Curfew established.
52 (a) School year curfew. It shall be unlawful for any person 16 years or fewer of age (under 17) to be or

56 (2) At 11:00 p.m. on all other nights.
57 (b) Summer curfew. It shall be unlawful for any person 16 years or fewer of age (under 17) to be or remain
58 in or upon a public place within the City of Dover during the Caesar Rodney/Capital School District

60 (1) At 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights; and
61 (2) At 12:00 midnight on all other nights.
Página 224
Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew Page 3
62 Sec. 59-3. - Exceptions.
63 (a) The following shall constitute valid exceptions to the operation of this chapter:
64 (1) Accompanied by parent. When a juvenile is accompanied by a parent of such juvenile.
65 (2) Accompanied by authorized adult. When a juvenile is accompanied by an adult authorized by
66 a parent of such juvenile to take said parent's place in accompanying said juvenile for a
67 designated period of time and purpose within a specified area.
68 (3) Errand directed, in writing, by parent. When the juvenile is on an errand as directed by his/her
69 parent, provided that such juvenile shall have on his/her person a written note, signed by the
70 juvenile's parent, stating:
71 a. The date and time that the note was written (which shall not be more than 24 hours before
72 the time of the errand);
73 b. The name of the juvenile;
74 c. The name, address, and telephone number of the parent; and
75 d. The specific errand directed by the parent.
76 (4) Emergency. When a juvenile is assisting in an emergency, including, by way of example and not
77 in limitation, responding as a member of a volunteer fire company to a fire company or
78 paramedic call.
79 (5) First amendment rights. When a juvenile is exercising first amendment rights protected by the
80 United States Constitution, such as the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, and the right
81 of assembly, by first delivering, to the person designated by the city's chief of police to receive
82 such information, a written communication, signed by the juvenile and countersigned, if
83 practicable, by a parent of the juvenile, with his/her home address and telephone number,
84 specifying when, where, and in what manner the juvenile will be in a public place during hours
85 when this chapter is applicable to said minor in the exercise of a first amendment right specified
86 in such communication.
87 (6) Reasonable necessity. In case of reasonable necessity for the juvenile remaining in a public place,
88 but only after the juvenile's parent has communicated to the chief of police or the person
89 designated by the chief of police to receive such notifications the facts establishing the
90 reasonable necessity relating to a specified public place at a designated time for a described
91 purpose, including points of origin and destination. A copy of the communication, or of the
92 police record thereof, duly certified by the chief of police to be correct, with an appropriate
93 notation of the time it was received and of the names and addresses of the parent and juvenile,
94 shall be admissible evidence.
95 (7) On own or neighbor's property. When a juvenile is on the sidewalk or property where the
96 juvenile resides, or on either side of or across the street from the place where the juvenile resides,
97 and the adult owner or resident of that property has given permission for the juvenile to be there.
Página 225
Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew Page 4
98 (8) Returning home within one hour of official activity. When a juvenile is returning home from, and
99 within one hour of, the termination or closing of an official school, religious, or other
100 recreational activity supervised by adults, sponsored by the City of Dover, a recognized
101 charitable, benevolent, or civic association, or a similar entity that takes responsibility for the
102 minor.
103 (9) Special permit (individual). When authorized by special permit from the chief of police carried
104 on the person of the juvenile thus authorized, as follows:
105 a. When necessary nighttime activities of a juvenile may be inadequately provided for by other
106 provisions of this chapter, then recourse may be had to the chief of police, either for a
107 regulation as provided in subsection (a)(10) or for a special permit as the circumstances
108 warrant.
109 b. Upon a finding of undue hardship and reasonable necessity for the use of a public place to
110 the extent warranted by a written application signed by a juvenile and by a parent of the
111 juvenile, if feasible, stating: the name, age, and address of the juvenile; the name, address,
112 and telephone number of a parent thereof; the height, weight, sex, color of eyes and hair, and
113 other physical characteristics of the juvenile; the necessity that requires the juvenile to remain
114 upon a public place during the curfew hours otherwise applicable and the undue hardship that
115 will result if such permit is not granted; the public place; and the beginning and ending of
116 the period of time involved, by date and hour, the chief of police may grant a permit, in
117 writing, for the juvenile's use of a public place at such hours as in the opinion of the chief of
118 police may reasonably be necessary and consistent with the purposes of this chapter. In an
119 emergency, this may be handled by prior telephone or other effective communication, with
120 a corresponding record being made contemporaneously by the chief of police or by the
121 person designated by the chief of police to act on his/her behalf in an emergency at the police
122 station.
123 (10) Special regulation (group). When authorized by regulation issued by the chief of police in other
124 similar cases of reasonable necessity, similarly handled but adapted to reasonably necessary
125 nighttime activities of more juveniles than can readily be dealt with on an individual special
126 permit basis, but only where such juveniles will be under the active supervision of adults
127 responsible for such juveniles. Normally such regulation by the chief of police permitting use
128 of public places should be issued sufficiently in advance to permit appropriate publicity through
129 news media and through other agencies, such as the schools, and shall define the activity, the
130 scope of the use of the public places permitted, the period of time involved, not to extend more
131 than one hour beyond the time for termination of the activity, and the reason for finding that the
132 regulation is reasonably necessary and is consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
133 (11) Employment necessity. When the juvenile is legally employed, going to or returning home from
134 employment, and carries a certified card of employment, renewable each calendar month when
135 the current facts so warrant, dated or reissued not more than 45 days previously, signed by the
136 parent and employer and briefly identifying the juvenile, the addresses and telephone numbers
137 of the juvenile's home and place of employment, and the juvenile's hours of employment. The
138 city shall prepare a form to be used by employers for purposes of this subsection.
Página 226
Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew Page 5
139 (12) Interstate or intrastate travel. When the juvenile is, with parental consent, engaged in normal
140 interstate or intrastate travel through the city or originating or terminating in the city.
141 (13) Married. When the juvenile is married or has been married pursuant to state law.
142 (14) Operator of establishment. In the case of an operator of an establishment, when the operator has
143 notified the police that a juvenile was present on the premises of the establishment during curfew
144 hours and refused to leave.
145 (b) Continuing consideration of exceptions. Each of the foregoing exceptions and their several limitations,
146 such as provisions for notification, are severable, as hereinafter provided but here reemphasized, and
147 will be considered by Council when warranted by future experience.
148 Sec. 59-4. - Parental responsibility.
149 (a) The foregoing exceptions to the operation of this chapter shall act only to create a waiver of
150 enforcement and affirmative defense(s) to such enforcement. By authorizing such exceptions, neither
151 the city nor any member of the police department shall assume any affirmative obligation or duty to
152 supervise the well-being of any juvenile acting pursuant to such authorized exception.
153 (b) It shall be unlawful for a parent having legal custody of a juvenile knowingly to permit or by inefficient
154 control to allow the juvenile to remain in any city public place under circumstances not constituting
155 an exception to, or otherwise beyond the scope of, this chapter. The term "knowingly" includes
156 knowledge that a parent should reasonably be expected to have concerning the whereabouts of a
157 juvenile in that parent's legal custody. This requirement is intended to hold a neglectful or careless
158 parent up to a reasonable community standard of parental responsibility through an objective test. It
159 shall, therefore, be no defense that a parent was completely indifferent to the activities or conduct or
160 whereabouts of such juvenile.
161 (c) It shall be unlawful for any parent to knowingly (as defined above) provide any false authorization,
162 information or certification, written or verbal, to the Dover police department in order to obtain an
163 exception to the operation of this chapter under Sec. 59-3 hereof.
164 Sec. 59-5. - Operator responsibility.
165 It shall be unlawful for any operator of an establishment to knowingly permit a juvenile to remain at the
166 establishment under circumstances not constituting an exception to, or otherwise beyond the scope of, this
167 chapter. The term "knowingly" includes knowledge that an operator should reasonably be expected to have
168 concerning the patrons of the establishment. The standard for "knowingly" shall be applied through an
169 objective test: whether a reasonable person in the operator's position should have known that the patron was
170 a juvenile in violation of this chapter.
171 Sec. 59-6. - Enforcement.
172 (a) If a police officer reasonably believes that a juvenile is in a public place in violation of this chapter,
173 the officer shall notify the juvenile that he/she is in violation of this chapter and shall require the
174 juvenile to provide his/her name, address, and telephone number and how to contact his/her parent or
Página 227
Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew Page 6
175 guardian. In determining the age of the juvenile and in the absence of convincing evidence, such as
176 a birth certificate, a police officer shall, in the first instance of violation of the chapter, use his/her best
177 judgment in determining age.
178 (b) The police officer shall issue the juvenile a written warning that the juvenile is in violation of this
179 chapter and order the juvenile to go promptly home. The chief of police shall send the parent or
180 guardian of the juvenile written notice of the violation pursuant to subsection (f) hereof.
181 (c) Police procedures shall constantly be refined in the light of experience and may provide that the police
182 officer may deliver to a parent or guardian thereof a juvenile under appropriate circumstances; for
183 example, a juvenile of tender age, near home, whose identity and address may readily be ascertained
184 or are known.
185 (d) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, when a juvenile has received one previous written
186 warning for violation of this chapter or a police officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the
187 juvenile has engaged in delinquent conduct, the procedure shall then be to take the juvenile to the
188 police station where a parent or guardian shall immediately be notified to come for the juvenile,
189 whereupon the parent or guardian and the juvenile shall be questioned. This is intended to permit
190 ascertainment, under constitutional safeguards, of relevant facts and to centralize responsibility in the
191 person designated there and then on duty for accurate, effective, fair, impartial, and uniform
192 enforcement and recording, thus making available experienced personnel and access to information
193 and records.
194 (e) When a parent or guardian, immediately called, has come to take charge of the juvenile and the
195 appropriate information has been recorded, the juvenile shall be released to the custody of such parent.
196 If the parent cannot be located or fails to take charge of the juvenile, then the juvenile shall be released
197 to the juvenile authorities, except to the extent that, in accordance with police regulations approved
198 in advance by juvenile authorities, the juvenile may temporarily be entrusted to an adult, neighbor, or
199 other person who will on behalf of a parent or guardian assume the responsibility of caring for the
200 juvenile pending the availability or arrival of a parent or guardian.
201 (f) In the case of a first violation of this chapter by a juvenile, the chief of police shall, by certified mail,
202 send to a parent or guardian written notice of the violation, with a warning that any subsequent
203 violation will result in full enforcement of this chapter, including enforcement of parental
204 responsibility and of applicable penalties.
205 (g) For the first violation of this chapter by an operator of an establishment who permits a juvenile to
206 remain on the premises, a police officer shall issue a written notice of the violation with a warning that
207 any subsequent violation will result in full enforcement of the chapter, including enforcement of
208 operator responsibility and of applicable penalties.
209 (h) In any event the police officer shall, within 24 hours, file a written report with the chief of police or
210 shall participate, to the extent of the information for which he/she is responsible, in the preparation of
211 a report on the curfew violation. It is not the intention of this section to require extensive reports that
212 will prevent police officers from performing their primary police duties. The reports shall be as simple
213 as is reasonably possible and may be completed by police department personnel other than sworn
214 police officers.

260 described. This administrative remedy must be exhausted prior to presenting to any court a question in any
261 of the three categories. The city council does not intend a result through the enforcement of this chapter that

263 in such cases if anywhere its application would be unconstitutional under the Constitution of the State of
264 Delaware or the Constitution of the United States of America.

271 other information as council may request.
272 (b) On a regular basis, the city council shall receive informal reports of all exceptional cases hereunder
273 of reasonable necessity, the notices of school and other activities, the special permits and the
274 regulations authorized above, and the advisory opinions for consideration by the council in further
275 updating and continuing evaluation of this chapter.
276 Sec. 59-10. - Notice.
