Hiring Justification Outline
1. Explain the principal function of this job.
This position is an administrative assistant to the Chief of Police. The essential
function of the position within the department is to provide administrative,
organizational, and clerical support to the Chief of Police and his executive staff.
This position serves as receptionist, screening telephone calls and visitors;
provides routine and sensitive information, routes persons to appropriate
department/personnel, or takes messages. This position also schedules and
maintains calendar of appointments for assigned personnel. Responsibilities
include preparing and typing correspondence, memoranda, documents, reports,
spreadsheets, e-mails, or other materials observing strict confidentiality; performs
research as required. Other responsibilities include accounting tasks such as
preparing bank deposits, journal entries, processing invoices, and handling petty
cash. This position also processes incoming departmental mail, opening and
routing mail as appropriate; and prepares mailings.
2. Explain why this position is critical and cannot go unfilled or postponed.
The administrative assistant is a critical position within the department. The
administrative assistant not only provides clerical support to the Chief of Police
but it also is responsible for the day to day functions of the department and the
executive staff. This position also performs in house human relations duties for
employees of the department. The administrative assistant maintains scheduling
for departmental functions and is the liaison with City Hall and the City Clerk’s
Office. It is essential for the department to maintain personnel to provide this
level of service to the Chief of Police and the members of the department. This
position is a critical part of the Dover Police Department’s internal system and the
workload and the importance of this position dictates its necessity to be filled.
3. How would City services diminish if this position were not filled or
postponed at this time?
Items such as annual and monthly reports would go uncompleted. Compliance
with member’s contractual services such as annual physicals and step increase
would not be accomplished. Also daily functions such as the delivery of mail and
court subpoenas to officers would go uncompleted thus causing officers to miss
critical court cases.
4. Are there other employees whose ability to perform would be diminished
by not filling or postponing this position?
Yes, daily services for the Chief of Police and executive staff would not be
completed as a result of not filling this position.
5. Is there a person that can be promoted into this position and whose
position is less critical at this time and can go unfilled permanently or
temporarily?
Página 3
No. There are no employees within the department who have expressed an
interest in this position. This position is critical to the department and the City’s
services. Training for the position takes several months. The department has
received tentative authorization to hire an individual next fiscal year to overlap
and train with the current administrative assistant.
6. Can one or more existing employees absorb the duties of this position?
This is not a viable option due to the amount of training required to perform this
job function. All current employees have very specific responsibilities and
removing them from their current positions would cause disruption in department
and city services.
7. Could a temporary person be hired to fill this position for 60 days?
This also is not a viable option due to the amount of training, and background
check required for this position. This requirement is necessary because of the
amount of confidential information this position is responsible for on a daily basis.
To expend this amount of time and expense for a 60 day temp would not be
prudent.

Description Total Project Cost: $30,000
The City has three, model year 2001, five ton dump trucks purchased in 2002. These trucks have severaly deteriorated dump bodies. Each truck
chassis requires minor repair. The diesel engines reflect less than 35K miles on the odometers. The averages miles drives equals approximately
4,300 per year. These diesal engines should last for 75k miles. The rusted dump bodies will be removed, sandblasted, and the frames will be
repainted. New brakes, hydraulic hoses and exhaust systems will be installed. In addition, all belts and hoses will be replaced and new stainless
bodies will be installed.
Justification
The most expensive part of the dump trucks are their engines, chassis' and drive trains. Once repaired, the vehicles could last 10 years or more.
At current usage, they will only have approximately 78k miles on the odometers. The replacement costs for 3 new dump trucks is $104,476
each. Having the repairs completed on-site will save the City approximately $283,000

This is a ten-year plan for City buildings that will create spaces and places for the City's elected officials and employees to provide quality
services to the citizens. The Facility Space Committee toured all City buildings, interviewed all department heads, conducted a needs assessment
and proximity matrix, created measured drawings of buildings, and consulted with an architect as needed. We will continue to face all the
problems associated with a lack of space, lack of security, poor locations, and substandard space.
Justification
We will continue to face all the problems associated with a lack of space, lack of security, poor locations, and substandard space. The Space
Needs Study revealed (1) a lack of space for public and customers, (2) a lack of working space, (3) poor locations, (4) substandard space, (5) a
lack of storage space, and (6) a lack of security.

New Project: Account Number:
Time-Line:
Description Total Project Cost: $30,240
The City of Dover provides local contractors the ability to fill water trucks from a water dispensing connection, located at the William Street
warehouse. The connection is not in a secure area and operates on the honor system. Contractors are required to purchase a water ticket from
the Customer Service Department. However, there are contractors that circumvent the process and fill the water trucks without purchasing a
ticket. The water tickets are sold to contractors for $5.00, per truck fill. The capacities of the trucks vary with the amount of the ticket remaining
at $5.00. Consumption is monitored by obtaining a meter reading each month and charging a designated department for the usage. When the
amount of tickets purchased is compared to the metered consumption there is a loss of revenue.
Justification
This project will prevent direct access to the City of Dover water supply from the warehouse and allow the City to collect revenue for water
usage. The $5.00 charge is obsolete; contractors should pay fairly for water based on truck size and gallons consumed. The new system, the
Mini General, is an economical solution for low volume bulk water dispensing applications.After the customer pre-pays for water, they will be
given a temporary access number and pin number. The system will only dispense the amount of water that is paid for in advance. Each
transaction is date and time stamped and recorded by Water+ software.
City departments may also obtain water from this location. Each department will be required to follow the same process.

Time-Line:
Description Total Project Cost: $30,000
One of the most popular and cost effective uses of IVR Technology involves automating the out-dialing process Another use is to add the feature
of customer alerts and notifications. This automation can take a variety of forms and functionality. E-IVR automated features include the ability
to broadcasting a huge number of calls to deliver a pre-recorded message or alert, targeting a specific list to be called to relay individualized
information, and to automate the dialing process as an efficient and management tool for staff. It is critical to maximize the use of
communication resources, advance with technology and offer features similar to local utilities and municipalities. Our existing phone system
provides the foundation to add beneficial enhancements.
Justification
The E-IVR notification system gets the word out fast for emergency notification, road closures, power outages, alerts customer of electric and
water disconnections that are scheduled due to nonpayment of utility account, upcoming events. The Customer Service department is submitting
the request for consideration. This system should benefit City departments and Officials city wide. The phone system broadcasts from our data
base, when answered the IVR plays a prerecorded message. Unsuccessful calls are noted and can be broadcast again. The benefit to the customer
is to receive critical notifications and become better informed. Since the calls are automated staff, may be utilized in other functions.

Estimated annual maintenance fees. This type of notification system is already used by other utilities and municipalities in Delaware. In
conjunction with electric disconnects for nonpayment, the customer would receive an automated call two days prior to the scheduled
disconnection date. This serves as a reminder to remit the payment and allows the customer to prepare for the interruption of service in the event
payment is not received. A customer may chose to expedite payment by using the recently implemented credit card online processing system.

New Project: No Account Number:
Time-Line:
Description Total Project Cost: $20,314,917
The Dover Public Library, built in 1961, can no longer meet the needs of the current population of the greater Dover service area. A new 46,000
square foot library facility will be built on Loockerman Street between City Hall and the Dover Post Office in downtown Dover. The
consequences of delaying or eliminating this project are that members of the community will continue to receive very limited library services due
to space and other deficiencies in the current facility. State funding, already committed, will be lost if the project is delayed. This project is
related to the Delaware Division of Libraries’ Statewide Master Plan.
Justification
In 2004, library facilities planners, Robert H. Rohlf Associates conducted a library facilities plan and recommended that the City of Dover build
a 39,000-50,000 square foot library in the downtown area because the current library is insufficient to meet the needs of citizens. The study
concluded that the current library does not provide enough parking, shelving, programming areas, quiet study rooms, sufficient office space; and
that there are ADA issues throughout the building. The study compared the Dover Public Library to libraries in similar-sized communities and
services are lacking in many areas, including collection and reference. The benefit of replacing the current library is that the community will have
access to a library with sufficient space for collections and computers, lighting, parking, quiet study areas, and programming space.

Project # ST1101
Project Name Street and Alley Program
Type Improvement Department Public Services-Streets
Useful Life 20-25 years Contact Public Services Director
Category General Priority 1
New Project: Account Number:
Time-Line:
Description Total Project Cost: $9,200,000
This project will rehabilitate approximately three to five percent (3-5%) of the street and alley network each year. The estimated capital
maintenance costs are $33.7 million over a 20-year planning horizon in Fiscal Year 2005 dollars. This estimate is based on the needs survey
conducted by Public Services in Fiscal year 2004. Continuous maintenance on these assets will prevent more costly reconstruction in the future.
This project combines the former Street Resurfacing Program, the Alley Program and the Barrier Free Access Ramp Program
Justification
The program identifies maintenance costs for 84.79 miles of streets and 15.24 miles of alleys as of June 30, 2010. Replacement of deteriorated
curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provides improved use, drainage, and the appearance of the pavement section. The Street and Alley Program
schedule is driven by funding and road ratings. Total street mileage is growing each as more roads and alleys are dedicated for public
maintenance due to growth.

New Project: No Account Number:
Time-Line: Continuous
Description Total Project Cost: $400,000
This program replaces and rehabilitates deteriorated sidewalks and curbs throughout the City using in-house labor and private contractors. This is
in accordance with the ADA. Delaying or eliminating the project will result in continued complaints and insurance claims from citizens and
visitors. In addition, further deterioration of the sidewalk network will occur.
Justification
This program promotes the interconnection of the sidewalk network to conform to ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act)
and rehabilitates sidewalks that have root damage from City street trees. This program also facilitates compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act as it relates to the pedestrian network as well as improving localized drainage issues.

There is no impact on the operating budget as reduction in insurance claims and improved pedestrian mobility is difficult to financially quantify.
The Department of Public Services maintains a prioritization list that outlines the categories of replacement. Complaints are entered on the list as
they are received and prioritized by City staff.

Useful Life 20-25 years Contact Public Services Director
Category General Priority 3
New Project: Yes Account Number:
Time-Line:
Description Total Project Cost: $50,000
This project proposes the construction of a 50’ long x 50’ wide x 20’ high salt storage building at the rear of Schutte Park. The proposed
construction will allow city staff to store salt indoors, greatly reducing the environmental impact of this operation. Salt is only used during
winter months; however, we typically have this material on hand in varying quantities all year long.
Justification
Salt is currently stored down at Old PW II under a tarp within the concrete area. The current method of covering this material is inadequate and
has potential environmental impacts on the St. Jones River. All runoff from this storage area goes directly into the St. Jones River. This project
will likely be a requirement in our NPDES MS4 permit renewal scheduled for July 1, 2011. Moving this material indoors and under roof will
reduce the environmental impact and allow this resource to be used in a more efficient manner.

Category General Priority 4
New Project: Yes Account Number:
Time-Line:
Description Total Project Cost: $600,000
The proposed project will remove all of the old pavement and parking areas and construct a new central parking lot and access to the boat ramp
area as well as access from Kings Highway. The existing pavement condition is in poor quality, and the parking pods create a public perception
problem. This project will plant trees, flowers, and shrubs below the dam on Silver Lake to Court Street along the St. Jones River in order to
improve water quality and protect the stream bank. This will be a multi-year project. The department continues to receive complaints regarding
the parking pods, the further deterioration of the existing pavement sections and parking areas, lack of stormwater management practices, bank
erosion related to stormwater runoff and, poor site lighting.
Justification
Currently there are no stormwater management practices being implemented on this site, and the location adjacent to the St. Jones River causes
direct stormwater discharge to an environmentally sensitive area. The proposed reconstruction and relocation of the loaded parking lot will allow
for best management practices regarding stormwater management to be implemented at this site.

CITY OF DOVER
HOSPITALITY & CIVIC FUNCTION POLICY
A. PURPOSE
There are occasions when the judicious extension of hospitality in connection with official City of
Dover business is in the best interests of the City of Dover, hereinafter referred to as “City.” There
are also occasions where attendance at civic events and functions which are not sponsored by the
City are in the best interests of the City, and thus may require attendance. This policy outlines City
policy and procedures governing the manner and extent to which the City’s employees, public
officials, and appointees may extend hospitality while attending civic functions and events.
II. SCOPE
This policy applies to all hospitality and civic function expenses incurred by the City regardless of
the source of funding, and to all City employees, public officials and appointees to City Boards,
Commissions and Committees.
III. ALLOWABLE EXPENSES AND APPROVAL
A. Allowable Expenses and Occasions
Expenses for hospitality and civic functions must be directly related to, or associated with the
conduct of official City business. If the occasion is not sponsored by an organization of which the
City sponsors or is a member of, then the occasion must serve a clear City interest business purpose,
with negligible personal benefit derived by the official host or other City employees, public officials,
and appointees. In addition, the expenditure of funds for hospitality and civic functions should be
cost effective and in accordance with the best use of public funds.
Examples of Prohibited/Restricted Expenses:
Personal Memberships
Political Expenses
Holiday Gatherings for non-City affiliated organizations
Fundraising Non-budgeted Cash Donations
B. Approval of Transactions
When determining whether a hospitality or civic event expense is appropriate, the approving
authority must evaluate the importance of the event in terms of the costs that will be incurred, the
benefits to be derived from such an expense, the availability of funds, and any alternatives that
would be equally effective in accomplishing the desired objectives.
C. Payment of Expenses
The Finance Department shall process the payment of hospitality and civic functions expenses upon
receipt of the invitation, invoice, or proper support documentation, as determined by Finance, with
the signature of the Mayor, a Member of Council, and/or City Manager.
Approved by Council: March 24, 2005 (To be revised when approved)
