REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
The Regular Council Meeting was held on February 14, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President
Hogan presiding. Council members present were Mr. Leary, Mr. McGiffin, Dr. McGlumphy,
Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Salters, and Mrs. Williams. Mr. Bonar was absent.
Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Ms. Russell, Mrs. Mitchell,
Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief Fortney, Mr. DePrima, Deputy City Solicitor Pepper, and
Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey was also present.
OPEN FORUM
The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting.
Council President Hogan declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that
Council was not in official session and could not take formal action.
Mr. Robert Hartman, 35 Lotus Street, relayed his concerns regarding City spending. He stated that,
although he understood that City staff and Council have worked hard to reduce the City’s budget,
he objected to pay raises provided to City employees. It was his feeling that these salaries should
be discussed and an attempt made to make them more equitable to those in surrounding
communities. Mr. Hartman stated that raises that are over and above the rate of inflation, as reflected
by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), have been provided to City employees every year, noting that
the CPI is 1.5% this year and that employees were provided a 2% increase. He conveyed his
objection to this action.
The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Mr. Leary and
unanimously carried.
Council President Hogan requested that Item #7B - Monthly Budget Report be removed from the
consent agenda.
Mr. Leary moved for approval of the consent agenda, as amended, seconded by
Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 24, 2011
The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of January 24, 2011 were unanimously approved
by motion of Mr. Leary, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy, and bore the written approval of
Mayor Carey.
PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE -
106 S. NEW STREET - HOUSE OF PRIDE
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the
Dangerous Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, reviewed a presentation regarding
the property (Exhibit #1), noting that the property has been the subject of a number of code
violations in recent years. He stated that staff is currently bringing forward the structure for violation
Página 5
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 2
of the Dangerous Building Ordinance in accordance with Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building
Regulations, Article XI - Dangerous Buildings, Sec. 22-388 - Emergency Cases. Mr. Koenig advised
members that this is considered an “emergency case” due to the receipt of a report from
Scott Engineering, Inc., following a structural inspection of the property. He noted that the house
has been used for storage purposes for many years and has accumulated an abundance of various
types of furniture, fixtures, and miscellaneous supplies as well as household items.
Mr. Koenig explained that the building’s support structure is overtaxed by the weight of the items
being stored. He stated that a section of the foundation wall has failed and the structural engineer
has determined that it is unsafe to enter the property and remove the stored items in the structure’s
current condition. Mr. Koenig indicated that House of Pride has stated its intent to hire a contractor
to provide the minimum stabilization necessary to remove the stored items; however, the structure
will still be considered dangerous once these minimal efforts are completed.
Staff recommended that the City:
1) Declare this building and any accessory buildings dangerous;
2) Order the property repaired or demolished by Monday, February 21, 2011 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 set by Council;
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.
Mr. Koenig assured members that staff has met with the property owners and that they are aware of
staff’s recommendations.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig stated that, since the preparation of the action form, the
Finance Department approved an internal budget revision, increasing the demolition line item from
$50,000 to $120,000. He estimated that the cost of the demolition would be approximately $20,000,
including asbestos abatement.
Council President Hogan declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to
speak during the public hearing, Council President Hogan declared the public hearing closed.
Mr. McGiffin moved that the structure located at 106 S. New Street, owned by House of Pride,
be declared a dangerous building and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar
absent).

PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT
293 SAULSBURY ROAD, OWNED BY F & B PROPERTIES
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property
located at 293 Saulsbury Road, owned by F & B Properties, consisting of 3.64+/- acres. The property
is currently zoned C-3 (Service Commercial) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and
the proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay
Zone). The subject property is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Saulsbury Road
and North Street (Tax Parcel: ED05-076.11-01-43.00-000; Fourth Council District; Planning Reference:
Z-11-01).
Mr. Salters moved that the final reading of Proposed Ordinance #2010-31 be acknowledged
by title only, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried (Mr. Bonar absent). (The First
Reading of this ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of December 13, 2010.)
Planner's Review
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the
petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the
Planning Commission.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that traffic impact studies are typically completed
prior to the submission of the site plan application, which is considered by the
Planning Commission.
Public Hearing
Council President Hogan declared the hearing open.
Mr. John Paradee, Attorney with Prickett, Jones, and Elliott, 11 N. State Street, stated that he serves
as the legal counsel for the applicant, F & B Enterprises. He noted that the application is consistent
with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Paradee stated that the proposed zoning and use of the
property is actually less intensive than that currently permitted. He stated that, although no adverse
implications from the traffic study are anticipated, it is understood that a traffic study must be
completed and that the applicant must abide by all recommendations from the study.
Mr. Paradee also stated his understanding that the traffic study will be taken into account prior to
submission of the application for the conditional use and site plans. He urged members to approve
the request.
Mr. John Fellows, Project Manager with Duffield Associates, stated that his firm would serve as the
site civil engineer for the project if the rezoning is approved. He advised members that the developer
has obtained a letter of intent from Royal Farms to place a convenience store on the site.
Mr. Fellows also stated that, although a firm commitment has not been received to date, the
developer is in discussion with a bank to potentially locate on the northern portion of the site.
He advised members that a meeting has been scheduled with the Dover Housing Authority regarding
several aspects of the project, including closure of an access road and installation of sidewalks.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 4
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Deputy City Solicitor Pepper suggested that she recuse herself from
any action regarding this matter, since she serves as a member of the Dover Housing Authority.
Mr. Martin Prada, representative of Hill Farms Commercial (owners of Eden Hill Commercial
District), indicated that he did not oppose or favor the requested zoning; however, requested
clarification. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the C-2A zoning classification would allow
for a variety of retail uses and would not limit usage to a convenience store and bank. She confirmed
that professional offices would be permitted within the C-2A zoning classification.
Mr. Prada relayed concern that the proposed project could hamper the Eden Hill Commercial
District’s ability to bring a bank to its site or inhibit future expansion.
Council President Hogan declared the hearing closed.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend noted that notification of the rezoning request was
provided to those property owners within 200’; therefore, the residents of Lincoln Park were
probably not notified of the proposed rezoning request. Mr. Ruane questioned if staff could put forth
a “good faith” effort to notify residents in the area of the site plan. Responding, Mrs. Townshend
felt that it would be very difficult to administratively change the standard for notification without
appearing arbitrary. She reminded members that staff is working on an ordinance amendment that
would expand notification to property owners within 300’ and require posting on the property.
She anticipated that the proposed amendment would be presented to the Committee in March and
that approval by Council could occur in June. She stated that since the traffic impact study has not
been completed, there is a possibility that the ordinance amendment would be effective prior to the
submission of the site plan application for this project. Mr. Ruane stated his desire that the proposed
amendment require notification of property owners within 500’.
Mr. Leary moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the
Planning Commission, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and failed by a roll call vote of three (3) no, one
(1) abstention (Mrs. Williams due to conflict of interest), one (1) absent (Mr. Bonar), and four (4)
yes (Dr. McGlumpy, Mr. Leary, Mr. McGiffin, and Council President Hogan). Council President
Hogan noted that, in accordance with Article II, Section 10 of the City Charter, the affirmative vote
of a majority of the members elected to Council is required to pass a motion. Since the Planning
Commission’s recommendation was not supported by the vote, members in opposition provided
reasoning for their votes, as follows:
Mrs. Russell stated her feeling that the Planning Commission cannot “speak” for homeowners
(taxpayers) in such a situation.
Mr. Salters felt that it would be wrong to consider the request without receiving input from the
residents of Simon Circle. He stated that if these individuals are notified and do not attend the
appropriate meeting, or do not object to the proposed rezoning, he would support the rezoning
request.
Mr. Ruane stated that his reason for objecting to the recommendation is due to inadequate
notification and the absence of a traffic impact study.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 5
PRESENTATION - DOVER TRANSIT CENTER NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
Ms. Juanita Wiezoreck of the Dover/Kent County MPO introduced Mr. Gregg Moore, President of
the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), who reviewed a Presentation of the Dover Transit Center
Neighborhood Plan and Design Book (Exhibit #2). He noted that the charrette was an open public
process and that the plan study region is generally defined as an area of influence surrounding the
new Dover Transit Center. The area is bound by Loockerman, State, South, and West Streets and
includes The Green, the historic downtown retail corridor, the legislative office area, museum
square, and medical offices.
Mr. Moore stated that the Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design Book was being
presented to obtain Council’s support prior to making presentations to the State of Delaware and
other constituents and notifying the community of the proposed improvements.
Mr. Salters moved for approval of the concept as presented, seconded by Mr. Ruane.
Responding to Mr. Leary, Mr. Moore stated that a direct funding mechanism was not being
requested, but noted that the DDP does have limited resources available to accomplish this project.
He stated that items in the document that may require zoning changes or other ordinance
amendments would be presented individually to members.
In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Moore stated that the focus Hyatt Palma Study was to create an
entity that would be a catalyst for redevelopment, and this resulted in the creation of the DDP.
Mr. Moore stated that the Hyatt Palma Study did not provide tangible drawings, streetscapes, and
zoning changes; however, the Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design Book
accomplished this. It was his feeling that the Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design
Book enhances the results of the Hyatt Palma Study, which dealt with strategies and leadership
groups. Mr. Moore explained that, although the charrette and the Hyatt Palma Study are different,
they work together.
Mr. Ruane noted that the executive summary indicates that the purpose of the Dover Transit Center
Neighborhood Plan and Design guidelines are to provide the City with a design and planning strategy
to guide development around the new transit center site. He stated that it is a conceptual design
guidebook that provides a very specific understanding of what the City could realize.
Ms. Wiezoreck advised members that this project was presented to the Planning Section of the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to determine their needs in order to make the plan
a reality, since there are state-maintained streets throughout the area. DelDOT has indicated that a
area-wide traffic impact study will be performed and, consequently, individual studies are not
necessary as buildings are constructed. As a result, she stated that the group has begun to determine
costs and possible funding. In addition, Ms. Wiezoreck stated that an area-wide stormwater
management program will be necessary. She explained that a workshop with the
Planning Commission has been scheduled for February 23, 2011 to discuss this issue and the matter
will be presented to the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee for their review.
The motion to approve the concept as presented was unanimously carried (Mr. Bonar absent).

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 24, 2011
The Utility Committee met on January 24, 2011 with Chairman Ruane presiding.
Request for Alley Abandonment (Improved) - Adjacent to 514 Loockerman Street and
222 S. DuPont Highway - HUB Associates, LLC and A & G Kramedas Associates
Members reviewed a request received from HUB Associates, LLC and A & G Kramedas Associates
for abandonment of an improved alley adjacent to 514 Loockerman Street and 222 S. DuPont
Highway.
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that the
applicants requested the City to abandon a segment of an alley approximately 220 feet in length that
runs parallel to Loockerman Street, east of Bayard Avenue. He stated that the request is a precursor
to redevelopment of the property, which is owned by HUB Associates, LLC and A & G Kramedas
Associates. Mr. Koenig stated that the subject property consists of a 15-foot wide alley, bounded
on the south by lands owned by A & G Kramedas Associates and bounded on the north by three (3)
parcels, two (2) of which are owned by HUB Associates, LLC and one owned by Thelma F. Johnson.
He indicated that the alleyis partially improved with paving that serves as the fire lane for the hotel
on the property, which is owned by A & G Kramedas Associates.
Mr. Koenig noted that a map depicting the alley was provided to members. He stated that the
Planning Commission reviewed the alley abandonment request on December 20, 2010 and
recommended its approval, provided that all necessary easements related to City utilities are in place.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig indicated that the City Clerk’s Office would notify all
adjacent property owners prior to the required public hearing before City Council.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the
procedure for notification of adjacent property owners is in accordance with Appendix B Article 10,
Section 5 of the Dover Code; however, she stated that she and Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk,
recommended that the City’s procedure be improved and incorporated into the City Code.
As suggested by Mr. Ruane, it was the consensus of members that staff should take administrative
measures to notify adjacent property owners of such requests in the future until a procedure is
codified.
Ms. Thelma Johnson, 512 E. Loockerman Street (adjacent property owner), indicated that her back
yard is adjacent to the Comfort Inn. She stated her interest in the plans for the alley and how these
plans would affect the property line.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig stated that if the Committee recommends approval of the
abandonment and Council approves the Committee’s recommendation, a public hearing will be set
before City Council, at which time adjacent property owners will be notified. If 220 feet of the alley
is abandoned, he stated that the current procedure requires the alley to be split equally between each
adjacent property; however, each property owner would be required to amend their deed to reflect
ownership of a portion of the alley and deeds would have to be recorded.
Página 10
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 7
Mr. Koenig stated his understanding that, if the abandonment is successful, the applicant wishes to
re-form their property lines, re-create a deed, assemble a number of properties, and re-record this
subdivision of the properties of HUBAssociates, LLC and A & G Kramedas Associates for a future
land development application. He stated that, at this point, staff is not aware of a final application
being presented to the City for consideration, although a draft land development application has been
received. Reminding members that there are setback requirements based on the zoning classification
of the property, Mr. Koenig noted that, if abandoned, the north property line has the potential to
move 7½ feet closer to Ms. Johnson, and she would have thepotential to move her southern property
line 7½ feet to the HUB Associates, LLC property.
Ms. Johnson stated that Mr. Kramedas indicated to her a desire to build stores at this location.
She questioned how close these establishments would be to her property line and, being a senior
citizen, relayed concerns regarding visitors loitering in front of the stores near her property.
Ms. Johnson advised members that she has had no problems with the Comfort Inn as a neighbor
during the last 14 years. She requested an assurance of peace and safety and, if the applicants build,
that they be required to construct a fence at least six (6) feet in height.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that conditions, such as the erection of a fence,
would not be necessary at this time unless members chose to include this requirement. She noted
that if the applicants submit a Site Plan in the future, the Site Plan would be presented to the
Planning Commission and there would be public notice of this meeting. Mrs. Townshend stated that
the Zoning Ordinance requires buffering between residential and non-residential uses; therefore, the
applicants would be required to erect an opaque, six (6) foot fence and landscaping on the residential
side of the fence, unless the Planning Commission waives this requirement. Mrs. Townshend assured
members that staff would notify the Planning Commission that the adjacent property owner desires
a fence and Ms. Johnson would have the opportunity to speak before the Planning Commission.
She noted that many residential property owners have concerns related to being situated adjacent to
commercial properties; however, she explained that these locations often improve when the property
is redeveloped since redevelopment must conform to current standards.
Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig stated the cost to property owners to re-record deeds is
estimated to be $125 per property.
Ms. Johnson advised members that she does not object to the abandonment request.
Mr. Garth Jones, Becker Morgan Group, representing Mr. Tom Kramedas, advised members that
it is planned to redevelop the site by demolishing two (2) hotel buildings and building a new hotel
with a retail component on the property; therefore, the setbacks are important as they relate to the
reconfiguration of the property for construction. He advised members that Becker Morgan Group
has been working with Mr. Kramedas since 2005 on a development plan and noted the importance
of the additional 7½ feet to the development application. Although the abandonment would move
the property lines 7½ feet closer to Mrs. Johnson’s residential property, Mr. Jones stated his
understanding that the building setback requirement for zoning is 30 feet for both the rear and side
yards. He stated that the retail component would not be located behind Ms. Johnson’s property, since
that area would not be visible from the street.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 8
The Committee recommended approval of the request for abandonment of the improved alley
located adjacent to 514 Loockerman Street and 222 S. DuPont Highway, as recommended by the
Planning Commission, with the condition that the City retain all necessary easements related to
City utilities. (City Clerk’s Note: In accordance with the City’s Procedure for Alley Abandonments,

adoption.)
By motion of Mr. Ruane, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and by a unanimous roll call vote

Proposed Ordinance #2011-01 - Amendment to Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 Supplementary
Regulations, (New) Section 20 - Solar and Small Wind Energy Systems (Deferred by Committee
on 01/10/2011)
During their meeting of January 10, 2011, members considered Proposed Ordinance #2011-01 -
Amendment to Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, (New) Section 20 -
Solar and Small Wind Energy Systems. The proposed ordinance would add solar energy systems
and small wind energy systems as accessory uses within all zoning districts; set standards for these
systems to ensure protection of the character of the zones, as well as for public health, safety and
welfare; and add definitions for such systems to the Zoning Ordinance. After much discussion,
members deferred action until the next Committee meeting to allow time for staff to address the
concerns relayed.
Referring to the proposed ordinance provided to members, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of
Planning and CommunityDevelopment, reminded members that the red text reflects the revised
version provided to members at the previous meeting and that the blue text was added to address
concerns relayed at that time.
Mr. Phil McGinnis, McGinnis Commercial Real Estate Company, 555 E. Loockerman Street,
indicated support for the proposed ordinance, including the additional amendments, as presented.
Mr. John Paradee, Prickett, Jones, and Elliott, 11 North State Street, thanked members of the
Committee and City staff for making the changes suggested during the previous Committee meeting.
He indicated full agreement with the proposed ordinance, as presented, and requested the
Committee’s support.
Council President Hogan relayed concern regarding the phrase “visually screened,” which appears
several times in the proposed ordinance. Recalling a previous situation, he questioned the definition
of this term and felt that the City should be clear in this regard. Responding, Mrs. Townshend
referred to the definition provided in Lines 17 and 18 and suggested that the ordinance be amended
to incorporate this language in other areas within the ordinance that include the term “visually
screened.” Members of the Committee, Mr. McGinnis, and Mr. Paradee relayed no objections to the
additional amendments.
The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-01, as amended.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
(The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.)

The Committee recommended acceptance of the Residential Rate Comparison Annualized at 1,000
kWh Per Month as of November 23, 2010, as presented.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
Development Projects - Performance and Maintenance Bonding Concerns
During their meeting of January 10, 2011, members were advised that, as part of a shared
performance goal, the City Manager, the Public Services Manager, and the Director of Planning and
Community Development conducted a series of four (4) internal meetings to brainstorm various
ideas to address concerns raised about performance and maintenance bonding in subdivisions, site
plan compliance, ensuring the functionality of homeowners’ associations (HOAs), and other
development project issues. As a result of these meetings, which were held in October, November,
and December of 2010, he stated that eight (8) specific issues/concerns were identified.
Members requested that staff provide the list of Development Projects to members for their review
and prioritization to be considered by the Committee during their next meeting.
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public works, advised members that he,
Mr. Ruane, Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Townshend, and Mr. DePrima ranked the projects and written
comments were submitted by Major Kosior. He stated that the highest-ranked projects are as follows:
1) Problem #2 - Some projects are partially built and theconstruction or the site
work has been abandoned.
2) Problem #5 - Nuisance issues such as maintenance of buildable lots with
homes, partially complete homes, partially complete subdivisions, roll-off
trash containers for construction debris, soil stockpiles, and material storage
areas are degrading the overall quality of various subdivisions (in both
dedicated and undedicated subdivisions).
3) Problem #4 - Stormwater / Passive Open Space – Not Being Maintained.
Mr. Koenig stated that these three (3) problems ranked significantly higher than the others, based
on the feedback received.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 11
Staff recommended that a timeline be developed to begin resolving the three (3) highest-ranked
problems and that recommendations be developed in the form of proposed ordinances or procedural
amendments to be presented to the Committee for review.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig advised members that administrative action is being taken
on all problems and assured members that the goal is to resolve them. With regards to snow removal
(Problem #7) at Nottingham Meadows, Mr. Koenig stated that the bank has hired a contractor to
oversee both the “punch list items” and snow removal for this season at Nottingham Meadows.
He stated that the developers or the banks are hiring contractors for removal of snow in other
abandoned areas; therefore, he assured members that, to his knowledge, all undedicated
developments have some method of snow removal in place during the current winter season.
At the request of Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig read the comments submitted by Major Kosior in response
to Mr. Koenig’s memorandum of January 3, 2011, Subject: Development Projects - Performance
and Maintenance Bonding Concerns.
Council President Hogan stated that he had prepared a ranking, apologized for not submitting it to
staff, and noted that he also ranked Problem #2 as the top priority.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the designation of Problems #2, #5, and #4 as the
highest-ranked concerns related to Development Projects - Performance and Maintenance Bonding,
with the expectation that a timeline would be developed to begin resolving these problems, as
recommended by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater)
(November) (Deferred by Committee on 1/10/2011)
Members were provided Project Tracking Reports, as of November 30, 2010, for the Utility
(Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP).
Mr. AnthonyDePrima, City Manager, advised members that the City has received permits from the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to begin work in the Route 13 area. He noted
that because the project involves Route 13, it will create significant problems; however, he assured
members that actions will be taken to minimize the problems, such as conducting work during
evening hours.
Responding to Mr. Ruane regarding the Bayard Avenue Project, Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities
Director, indicated that there has been no change on this project. He advised members that soil
sampling at the location resulted in the discovery of contamination, which is currently being resolved
with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). He assured
members that when the project begins, notification will be sent to the neighbors and that standard
practice requires members of Council to be included in this notification.
Página 15
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 12
Although not included on the CIP Report, Mr. Ruane requested that staff provide members with an
update on the Garrison Tract. Mr. DePrima stated that the January 23, 2011 edition of the
Delaware State News featured an article about the progress of the Garrison Tract. He noted that
construction of the parking lot is underway and that the opening of the power plant, including the
operation and generation of power supply, was anticipated by July 2011.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP)
Reports for November 2010.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
PACE/NAES Monthly Report (November 2010)
The PACE/NAES Monthly Report for November 2010 was provided to members to enable them to
monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any
fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary.
The Committee recommended acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Report for November 2010.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary
and unanimously carried.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
JANUARY 24, 2011
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on January 24, 2011 with
Chairman Leary presiding.
Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions
During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of a Hiring Freeze for
Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval
of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that
there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there were no
positions to consider, the item could be removed.
Mr. Leary noted that there were no critical positions to be considered; therefore, no further action
was required.
Review of Council Memberships (Tabled by Committee on 12/13/2010)
During their meeting of December 13, 2010, members reviewed Council Memberships. After much
discussion, members tabled the matter to allow the opportunity for the Central Delaware Chamber
of Commerce and other organizations to address members regarding this issue.
Página 16
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 13
The Committee removed the matter from the table.
Mr. McGiffin reiterated his concerns regarding utilizing tax dollars for membership dues to
organizations that engage in overtly political activity. He reminded members that, during the budget
and election seasons, he received communications that were clearly political in nature. As a result,
Mr. McGiffin felt that members should be thoughtful and deliberative in determining which
organizations the City should become involved with as a “dues paying member.” He indicated he
believed that the relationships between the City of Dover and the local and State Chambers of
Commerce are positive. However, he stated he was not convinced that these relationships require
the City to be a dues paying member and restated his concerns regarding paying dues to
organizations that engage in overtly political activity.
Mr. Bonar stated that, although he understood some of the concerns relayed by Mr. McGiffin, he felt
confident that the benefits of being a dues paying member of these organizations far outweigh the
inconvenience of receiving political notifications. As mentioned during the previous meeting,
Mr. Bonar reminded members that the City receives far more benefits from being a member of these
organizations than the cost of the membership dues. As an example, he stated that the membership
dues, in the amount of $875 per year for the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, are minimal
compared to the untold thousands of tax dollars and revenues that the businesses associated with this
organization have contributed to the community over past years. It was his recollection that the late
Mayor Crawford Carroll initiated the City’s membership with the support of previous Councils.
It was Mr. Bonar’s hope that the organizations would consider the concerns relayed by
Mr. McGiffin, should the City continue its memberships, and limit Council’s involvement and/or
exposure to any type of political efforts in the future.
Mr. Ruane noted the receipt of information from the Chamber of Commerce outlining the efforts
made by the Chamber that correspond and coincide with the City’s purposes. He advised members
of his participation with the Chamber as a member of its Transportation Committee and the benefits
that this has provided to the City of Dover, as well as to other municipalities. Mr. Ruane relayed
support for the City continuing its memberships.
Dr. McGlumphy indicated his opposition to discussing this matter; however, since the issue was
presented, he suggested that there be a review of all memberships throughout the City, including all
35 City departments, to determine if they were political in nature. He noted that the memberships
being considered are only those included in the City Council’s budget. Dr. McGlumphy stated that
he preferred overt political activity to covert political activity and indicated his support for
continuing the memberships.
Mrs. Williams indicated she shared the concerns and dismay of Dr. McGlumphy and suggested that
members of Council should receive such political information and viewpoints.
Council President Hogan stated that the concerns expressed are not related to the amount of dues.
He relayed concern with utilizing taxpayer money for issues that involve political campaigning.
He stated he wished the City to continue with the Chamber membership; however, he requested that
the Chamber distance the City from political issues.
Página 17
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 14
Mr. Charles “Chuck” James, 1212 Fawn Road, Wilmington, Representative of the State Chamber
of Commerce, advised members that the Chamber is an organization of community businesses
throughout the State whose primary purpose is to represent and promote businesses.
Mr. James assured members that the Chamber values the opportunity to connect the City with
businesses statewide and noted that there are 88 businesses located in Kent County, which employ
approximately 9,000 individuals. Mr. James reviewed the various functions, events, and meetings
held by the Chamber. He explained that the Chamber represents the interests of diverse businesses
that vary in their political affiliations, and it was his opinion that there is very little overtly political
communication from the State Chamber; however, he stated that there is communication advocating
for business.
Ms. Judy Diogo, Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, 435 N. DuPont Highway, explained that
the common goals of all the organizations are to develop and maintain a healthy environment, to help
businesses grow, and develop new businesses. She also felt that another shared goal is to assure
good employment for the residents of Kent County. Mrs. Diogo reviewed several joint projects
shared by the Chamber and the City. In regards to political messages, she stated that those who do
not wish to receive broadcast e-mails can simply “click” on the small button located on the bottom
of the screen to unsubscribe.
Mr. James Hutchison, 15 Gleneagles Court, felt that memberships in the Central Delaware Chamber
of Commerce and State Chamber of Commerce were some of the most important affiliations of the
City. He explained their important role in assisting the City in making major decisions regarding
businesses. Mr. Hutchison noted that the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce plays an
important role in maintaining the relationship between the City and the Dover Air Force Base.
He urged members to continue memberships with these organizations.
At the request of Mr. Bonar, Mayor George Wright, 31 Locust Street, Smyrna, Representative of the
Delaware League of Local Governments, explained the benefits of membership with the
League of Local Governments. He noted that the League serves as an advocate for legislation
submitted to State legislators and assisting municipalities with Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funding, the Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS) program, etc.
Mayor Wright stated that much of the League’s work is “behind the scenes,” noting that the
League has a full-time lobbyist. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mayor Wright stated that if the City were
to engage a full-time lobbyist, the cost would be approximately $20,000.
Mayor Carey relayed his support for memberships in all the organizations, explaining the importance
of communication between the City and its customers, such as businesses, to keep costs at a
minimum, to offer services, and to promote the expansion of jobs and businesses. He noted that the
memberships under discussion are of great value in assisting the City with these endeavors.
Mr. Bonar stated that a veteran legislator once confided to him that, whether one wishes to admit it
or not, all actions taken at Legislative Hall and in Council Chambers throughout the State, are
political.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 15
Mr. McGiffin indicated that he did not intend to offend other members and assured them that he had
no secret motives for raising this issue. He noted he was not disturbed by the receipt of emails with
which he did not necessarily agree; however, he was concerned that the City belongs to organizations
engaging in overtly partisan political activity, which he felt was wrong. Noting that a majority of
Council supports these organizations, Mr. McGiffin stated that he would not suggest the elimination
of the membership dues from Council’s budget.
The Committee recommended that the City Clerk be authorized to include membership dues in
City Council’s budget, as follows: 1) League of Local Governments - Annual Membership Renewal
- $6,000; 2) National League of Cities - Annual Membership Renewal - $3,258; 3) Delaware State
Chamber of Commerce - $856; 4) Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce $875; and
5) Miscellaneous (magazine subscriptions, etc.) - $200, totaling $11,198.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
Statistics on Residency of City of Dover Employees
During their meeting of October 25, 2010, members felt that it was critical to obtain statistics
relating to the residency of current employees and requested that staff provide this information at a
future meeting. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, provided members with the residency
statistics for City of Dover employees and noted that 88 employees (24%) reside within City limits
and 284 employees (76%) live outside City limits.
Responding to Mr. Salters, Mr. DePrima stated that the main consideration with regards to
employees who reside outside of the City limits would be the difficulty of getting to work during a
large storm; however, this has never impeded the City in providing services. To his knowledge, the
only municipality in Delaware that requires residency is Wilmington, where employees are required
to move within City limits within seven (7) years of employment.
Mr. Ruane stated that this is a “hot” topic and very controversial on a national level. He indicated
that, in researching this matter, he discovered a recent trend to reverse residency requirements for
those municipalities that have them; however, noted that the requirements continue to prevail in
many jurisdictions. Mr. Ruane stated that there are arguments for the continuation of residency
requirements. He explained it has been suggested that if an employee serves as an administrator or
inspector who imposes regulations, the employee should be subject to the regulations which they
enforce. In addition, Mr. Ruane advised members that resident employees might have a better
understanding of neighborhood problems. He stated that off-duty police officers living within City
limits would be better able to confront crime and provide neighborhood security, although he noted
that, nationally, police organizations are opposed to this requirement.
Mr. Ruane indicated that, although he did not propose any action at this time, he was surprised by
the number of City employees who reside outside City limits and requested that they consider the
benefits of living in the City.
Página 19
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 16
Mrs. Williams stated that, although she concurred with many of the comments made by Mr. Ruane,
one of the benefits of living outside City limits is avoiding double taxation (paying both City and
County property taxes).
The Committee recommended acceptance of the Statistics on Residency of City of Dover Employees
Report, as presented.
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
Review of City Reserves and Policy Requirements
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the schedule of City Reserve Account Balances
as of December 31, 2010. She noted that the schedule reflects budget balances, as included in the
most recent budget amendment, for the operating and capital project funds. Mrs. Mitchell advised
members that some of the estimated budget balances for the utility capital project funds are higher
than the policy requirement; however, in most instances, this is a result of having a five (5) year
Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and multiple year projects. Therefore, she stated, the funds may be
planned for use next year for a multi-year project.
Mrs. Mitchell relayed concern regarding the calculation of the budget balance requirement for the
Electric Revenue Fund. She reminded members that the policy requires the budget balance to equal
at least 8% and no greater than 12% of operating revenues. Mrs. Mitchell stated that since the City
is now utilizing the Power Cost Adjustment to increase/decrease the base revenue, the increase or
reduction will be included in the budget balance calculation, which would have the potential to
create substantial increases or decreases in the budget balance requirement from year to year.
She indicated that staff prefers to keep the City’s cash flow balances levelized for paying vendors.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that this would also assist the City in managing funds in years in which the
power cost adjustment (PCA) may not match the year in which the power supply cost was incurred.
For example, she stated that if last year’s power supply came in lower than budgeted and those funds
were put in the reserve for the following year’s PCA, yet the following year, the power supply was
higher than the prior year, City’s cash flow requirements might be impacted.
Staff recommended acceptance of the reserve analysis.
Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding reimbursement from the Federal Government for the snowstorm
that occurred in February 2010, Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public
Works, indicated that the second reimbursement request, in the amount of $196,000, was signed last
week. He stated that the City has signed its portion of the agreement, which then will go through
the accounting system with the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) for issuance
of the disbursement. He advised members that there are a total of four (4) to five (5) disbursements,
totaling $250,000 and that the City has received approximately $1,400 to date.
In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Mitchell explained that if a budget balance exceeds the maximum
amount according to City policy, the excess is to be used at the discretion of Council. She concurred
that the use of excess funds must be approved by Council; however, she noted that there have been
emergency situations involving City operations when the use of funds has been accomplished and
then submitted to Council as a budget amendment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 17
The Committee recommended acceptance of the reserve analysis, as presented by staff, and that with
respect to the Electric Revenue Fund, the reserve calculation, based upon electric revenue, be done
irrespective of the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA).
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).
By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and
Administration Committee Report, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous
roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).

Referring to the Budget Report, Mrs. Mitchell noted the addition of the Community Transportation
Improvement Fund (bottom of Page 8) and Special Revenue Funds (Page 9).
Mr. Ruane moved for acceptance of the Budget Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and
unanimously carried (Mr. Bonar absent).
EVALUATION OF BIDS - 69kV SUBSTATION SWITCH REPLACEMENT
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that over the past two (2) years, four (4)
substation switches have failed due to overheating contacts, which is an extraordinarily high failure
rate. He stated that replacing these switches proactively will minimize the potential of outages due
to switch failure. Mr. DePrima reminded members that staff recommended that this project be
accelerated (originally scheduled to start in FY 2013) and funded for FY 2011 and that City Council
approved this CIP modification request on November 8, 2010. He stated that this project will begin
with the replacement of obsolete 69kV switches at the North Street and McKee Run substations.
Staff recommended awarding the bid for the 69kV substation switch replacement to the low bidder,
Tecot/Rumsey, for a total amount of $144,593.
Mr. Ruane moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent).

FIRST READING - PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS - PROPOSED
ORDINANCE #2011-01
Council President Hogan reminded the public that copies of proposed ordinances are available at the
entrance of the Council Chambers or can be obtained from the City Clerk's Office. Since the
ordinances are amendments to the Zoning Code, a public hearing is required. Staff recommended
referral of the amendments to the Planning Commission on March 21, 2011 and that a public hearing
take place during the Council Meeting of April 11, 2011, at 7:30 p.m., at which time, final action by
Council will take place.
Mr. McGiffin moved to refer the amendments to the Planning Commission and set a public
hearing before City Council for April 11, 2011 at 7:30 p.m., as recommended by staff.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried (Mr. Bonar absent).
In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the
Zoning Ordinance Amendments as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows:
> PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2011-01 - AMENDMENT TO APPENDIX B - ZONING ,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 19
Mr. Ruane moved for adoption of the proposed ordinance, seconded by Mr. Salters. By
unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar absent), Council adopted Ordinance #2010-01, as follows:
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN
COUNCIL MET:
That Chapter 102 – Taxation, Article I - In General, Section 102-1 - Valuation and Assessment, be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 102-1. Valuation and assessment.
Section 47 of the Charter provides that an impartial valuation and assessment of all real
property within the city shall be conducted by the city assessor every third year. The council may
also direct that in lieu of the reassessment and valuation by the city assessor, such reassessment and
valuation may be done by an outside appraiser chosen by the council. Pursuant to section 47 of the
Charter, commencing with the year 2010 and every ninth year thereafter, the valuation and
assessment of all real property shall be conducted by an outside appraiser chosen by the council.
All property shall be valued as to its status; as of its ownership; and as of its current market value
as of the January 1st assessment date.
ADOPTED: FEBRUARY 14, 2011
Ordinance #2010-02 - Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article IV - Abatement of Real Estate Taxes,
(New) Section 102-117 - Construction of New Facility
Mr. Salters moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title
only, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried (Mr. Bonar absent).
Mr. Salters moved for adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-02, seconded by Mr. Leary.
Mr. Ruane stated his reservations, explaining that the ordinance provides the Tax Assessor with
significant power for tax abatement. Noting that he previously mentioned these concerns, it was his
hope that the City Solicitor would have provided an opinion regarding the delegation of power in
this manner. Responding, Deputy City Solicitor Pepper stated that he has not had the opportunity
to review the matter since he was just provided the information; therefore, he was not in a position
to provide an opinion at this time.
Mr. Ruane noted that, although City Council is designated as an appeal body, the proposed ordinance
gives the power of tax abatement to the Tax Assessor for two (2) 12-month periods. It was his
opinion that such power should rest with City Council. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that, since
this is a very restrictive tax abatement with very restrictive guidelines, the Tax Assessor would
simply be acting on behalf of Council to make sure guidelines are met. He explained that the
purpose is to refrain from taxing property that is under construction and from violating any
provisions of the “clean hands” ordinance. Mr. DePrima noted that the second 12-month period
would allow time for the Tax Assessor to determine if there is a legitimate reason why the
construction was not completed. He stated that this authority is not unusual, noting that there are
several tax abatements authorized by the Tax Assessor under strict guidelines.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 20
At the request of Mr. Ruane, Ms. Russell assured members that any tax abatements will be reported
to City Council in the Tax Assessor’s Monthly Report.
The motion for adoption of Ordinance #2011-02 was carried by a unanimous roll call vote
(Mr. Bonar absent):
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN
COUNCIL MET:
That Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article IV - Abatement of Real Estate Taxes, be amended by inserting
a new Section 102-117 - Construction of new facility, as follows:
Sec. 102-117. Construction of new facility.
(a) Tax abatement benefit. During the construction of a new facility or an expanded facility,
meaning after the issuance of a building permit and prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, improvements less than one hundred percent (100%) complete by January 1 shall
be eligible for an abatement of City real estate taxes.
(b) Application. Eligibility.
(1) Separate application under this subsection shall be submitted to the Office of the
Assessor pursuant to the requirements of section 102-114 (a) no later than thirty days
after notice of eligibility is issued.

the City Code. All construction must be active at the time of application.
(c) Limitation on applicability.
(1) Abatement under this subsection may not exceed a period of 12 months.
(2) Notwithstanding other provisions of this subsection, the abatement period may, at
the discretion of the Assessor, be extended for a period not to exceed an additional
12 months for good cause shown. Good cause includes, but is not limited to,
increase in the scope of the project, acts of nature, and, as long as no party with
control of the new facility is at fault, fire or vandalism. Abandonment of a project
shall not be considered good cause.
(d) Right to appeal. Any aggrieved taxpayer shall have the right to appeal the decision of
the Assessor to the City Council. Appeals must be filed with the Council not more than
ten (10) days after the date the written decision of the Assessor is issued.

The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Meeting was held on
February 14, 2011, at 12:00 p.m. with Chairwoman Russell presiding. Members present were
Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Horsey, and Mr. Lewis. Mr. Leary was also present (departed at
12:56 p.m.) .
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Ruane moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously
carried.
Presentation - Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program (BTOP)/Job Center - Dover
Public Library
Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, advised members that the Delaware Division of Libraries (DDL)
received a grant through the U. S. Department of Commerce for the Broadband Technologies
Opportunity Program (BTOP). She stated that the DDL is collaborating with multiple program
partners to support a statewide learning laboratory program aimed at improving workforce skills and
job searches for Delawareans at each laboratory and library throughout Delaware. Ms. Cyr reminded
members that the Dover Public Library and the Delaware Economic Development Office joined
forces to develop a Job Center at the Library, which opened in October 2009. She advised members
that this program is currently limited in capacity, largely due to staffing, space, and time constraints.
Ms. Cyr explained that funding from the BTOP award will allow the DDL to establish
comprehensive job/learning labs in libraries across the State by leveraging unique partnerships
between libraries and social service organizations to combat unemployment through workforce
development and educational programs.
Ms. Cyr reviewed a Presentation titled BTOP 101, which provided information on the mission, grant
award, project goals, partners, and benefits of the program. She noted that positive feedback had
been received from those benefitting from the Library Job Center (included on Page 18 of the
Presentation) and read into the record the following statement, which was received from one of the
participants:
“I just wanted to let you know that I am working as an HR Generalist full time and
permanent in Philadelphia and the company is Simkar Corporation. I just wanted you
to know how I am doing. Thanks again for all you did to assist me in my job search
and guess what you inspired me to do? I have submitted a proposal to my Pastor to
set our church in the direction of the library. I am excited about this endeavor and
will let you know how it turns out.”
Ms. Cyr introduced Ms. Allie O’Neill, a volunteer working at the Economic Development Office
through Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). Ms. O’Neill advised members that VISTA is
part of the Federal Americorps Program and that VISTA volunteers commit to serve full-time for
one (1) year with non-profit organizations or local government agencies and assist in running
programs that are designed to bring communities out of poverty.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 2
Ms. Cyr also introduced Ms. Bernadette Connell, who was hired through the BTOP Grant to
establish job centers in the anchor libraries in the County and will be the Dover Public Library’s
BTOP Coordinator. Ms. Connell stated that she is currently working with other anchor library BTOP
Coordinators in Seaford, Georgetown, and Wilmington and that Coordinators are working to assure
that the program curriculum is ready for an April 1, 2011 start date.
Ms. Cyr introduced Ms. Becky Norton, the new Assistant Library Director for the Dover Public
Library.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Cyr indicated that a portion of grant funding was used for a public
relations program and that a public relations marketing consultant will assure that notification of this
program is provided throughout the State.
In response to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Cyr stated that the BTOP grant provides one (1) time funding for a
three (3) year project; however, the DDL will be working on sustainability of the grant.
She explained that there are plans to use some of the funding from the Schools and Libraries
Universal Service Support Mechanism (E-Rate) as part of the sustainable funding for the grant.
Ms. Cyr advised members that one of the requirements of the BTOP Grant is that the Job Center
remain open for a considerable amount of time during the week. She noted that, in the current
Library, the only area available for this is the meeting room and that staff is working on determining
how easily the Job Center can be “broken down” once it is closed. Ms. Cyr stated that availability
of the meeting room will be very limited once the Job Center is opened. She advised members that
the Job Center will be located on the second floor of the new Library in the Technology Lab, adding
that the Small Business Center will also be housed on that floor.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Cyr stated that the Seaford Public Library developed a Job Center
and a Bridges Program (a structured education program) using the services of the Retired and Senior
Volunteer Program (RSVP). She explained that the Bridges Program consists of three (3) day-long
workshops with a specific curriculum each day. Ms. Cyr stated that it is very important that the
Dover Public Library maintain the ability to assist customers on a walk-in basis, whenever needed,
free of charge; however, she noted that the RSVP Bridges Program has also been very positive and
the City is attempting to determine how to “blend” these programs.
Ms. Connell advised members that the goal is to make all four (4) anchor libraries very similar,
offering the same services, with customization available to address the specific needs of the
community.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Ms. Cyr stated that there were no applications received from City
residents for the Coordinator positions.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. O’Neill confirmed that benchmarks will be used to determine the
progress of the programs and, to date, the majority of the individuals utilizing the current programs
offered by the Dover Public Library are City residents.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 3
Mr. Ruane moved to recommend acceptance of staff’s report on the Broadband Technologies
Opportunity Program (BTOP)/Job Center - Dover Public Library. The motion was seconded
by Dr. McGlumphy and unanimously carried.
Semi-Annual Report on Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City
of Dover Since July 2010
Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director and Director of the Downtown Dover
Partnership, reviewed the semi-annual report of employment statistics on the 14 largest employers
in the Dover area and reminded members that this information is updated and presented to members
on a semi-annual basis (the last report was presented to members on July 12, 2010). He also
reminded members that his office has established relationships with the management and human
resources departments of these companies in order to track job growth or decline.
Mr. Neaton stated that, although the report does not reflect a significant increase in employment
activity, he feels confident that the economy is turning around. As an example, he advised members
that the Dover Sun Park is currently under construction at the Garrison Tract and that he meets with
the project manager weekly. Mr. Neaton noted that local contractors have been hired for this project,
which demonstrates a commitment to filling jobs related to this project locally.
Mr. Neaton advised members that, for approximately two (2) years, he has been working on bringing
an Arizona-based company to the City, which has the potential of bringing 500 jobs to the Dover
area. He stated that the company originally considered 11 different locations, which have now been
narrowed to three (3) possibilities, one (1) of which is Dover. In December, Mr. Neaton stated that
he, along with other representatives from the Delaware Development Office, Delaware Technical
and Community College, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware State University, etc., met with the project
manager of this company. Mr. Neaton indicated that a response is expected within the next 30 days.
Mr. Neaton stated that, for approximately 6 to 8 months, he has been working with another company
that is considering relocating to Dover. He noted that this firm is searching for temporary warehouse
space until such time that a 500,000 to 700,000 square foot facility can be built, and would bring
approximately 50-100 jobs to the area. Mr. Neaton indicated that he anticipates a response from the
project coordinator of this company within a week or two (2).
Mr. Neaton advised members that a local company hopes to expand its manufacturing capabilities
by adding approximately 200 employees and that an incentive package was provided to this firm in
December.
Referring to a previous request made by Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Neaton apologized for not providing
specific details regarding the downtown area in the report. He advised members that seven (7)
businesses opened in the last six (6) months in the downtown area, creating approximately
15 additional jobs. Mr. Neaton stated that three (3) businesses closed, resulting in the loss of four (4)
jobs, which reflects a net growth of 11 jobs. He reminded members of the positive activity occurring
in the downtown area, such as the completion of the downtown charrette and construction planned
to begin on Bayard Plaza.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 4
In response to Mr. Ruane regarding the sale of Wilmington Trust, Mr. Neaton stated that Mr. Bonar
requested that he obtain details on the effects this sale may have on employment in the Dover area.
Mrs. Russell suggested providing incentives to companies to remain in the City for several years,
in addition to granting incentives for relocation to the area. She noted that it has been the City’s
experience with several companies that once the incentives have ceased, the companies have left the
area, resulting in the loss of jobs and building vacancies. Responding, Mr. Neaton stated that the
Delaware Development Office provides a five (5) year incentive program; however, the City
provides a 10 year tax abatement program.
By unanimous consent, members recommended acceptance of the Semi-Annual Report -
Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover since July 2010.
UPDATES
The following updates were provided to members:
Schutte Park Space - Boys and Girls Club/CDSA
Mr. Darrell Tingle, Executive Director of the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club, and
Mr. Scott Brown, President of the Board for the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club, stated that they
have been meeting with the City Manager, Mr. Anthony DePrima, and the Parks and Recreation
Director, Mr. Zachery Carter, to provide updates on the facility to be built in the Schutte Park area.
Mr. Brown distributed a Schematic Plan (Attachment #1) for the magnet facility of the
Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club, which was developed by Mr. Robert MacLeish, Sr., President
of Lighthouse Construction, Inc. Mr. Brown noted that there are currently three (3) Boys and Girls
Club facilities located in the City of Dover, with the Simon Circle facility being the largest.
He stated that he was notified by the Dover Housing Authority that, soon, the building at
Simon Circle will no longer be available and that the Boys and Girls Club must vacate the facility
by January 2013.
If approved by the City, Mr. Brown stated that the organization plans to present the Schematic Plan
to an architect to develop a design and determine cost estimates to be presented to the State Boys and
Girls Club Board for approval. He explained that it is hoped that the capital campaign will begin
on July 1, 2011. Mr. Brown stated that the local Boys and Girls Club will need to raise 23%-24%
of the funds and the State Board will raise the balance. He noted that the preliminary estimate is
$1.5M to $4M and that it is planned to construct the facility in phases. Mr. Brown stated that he felt
confident that the local Club could raise the required funds for Phase 1 of the project within
one (1) year, noting that this phase would include the walk-in area, a team room, half of the gym,
classrooms, etc., which would provide more than ample space to house the programs that the
organization currently offers.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. MacLeish assured members that, although utilities have not been
finalized at this time, green energy sources will be considered.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 5
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Brown stated that he anticipates that Phases 2 and 3 will begin
immediately upon completion of Phase 1; however, Phase 4 will probably be delayed for 5 to 10
years.
Mr. Ruane questioned if staff had reviewed a Conceptual Site Plan for this project and if there were
any concerns regarding the size, exits, entrances, etc. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that when
the initial “footprint” of the project was received, it was not prepared as a Site Plan; therefore, details
such as size/layout of the parking lot and stormwater management were not included. He reminded
members that one of the Parks and Recreation Director’s goals is to develop a Master Plan for
Schutte Park. Mr. DePrima stated that staff is collaborating with the Planning Department to
determine the location of the building and the number of parking spaces required. He indicated that
this information will be depicted on the Master Plan, noting that the Boys and Girls Club is not at
the point in this project when a Site Plan is required. Mr. DePrima assured members that, since the
building will be smaller than originally proposed, the area will be large enough to accommodate the
project. Since Phase 4 includes adding a second floor to the building, Mr. DePrima suggested that
a reserve area be designated to allow for additional parking, if needed.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima noted that the new roadway created by the realignment of
Wyoming Mill Road will be completed prior to the construction phase of this project, and that City
staff is aware of the Delaware Department of Transportation’s (DelDOT) requirements for entrances
and exits for the facility. Elaborating, Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public
Works, stated that a pre-construction meeting for the new roadway project is scheduled for
March 1, 2011 and that the contractor plans to begin work within 30 days after that date. He noted
that this project is estimated to be completed within six (6) months.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. DePrima stated that, although there are not many adjacent property
owners, it is too early to begin notification, which will occur prior to the construction phase.
Puncheon Run Watershed Action Team and Flood Plain Mapping Update
Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that the
Kent Conservation District is nearing completion of the overflow channel provided through the
Clean Water Fund. Staff has been working on preparing some of the map tiles related to the
100-year flood plain across the City and identifying all of the individual property owners involved.
Mr. Koenig advised members that a flood study would entail significant funds and that publishing
a new map could have unintended consequences if the map is sent to financing companies, who
could establish flood insurance requirements. He stated that a resident of Shadow Court (adjacent
to Puncheon Run) pursued obtaining his own letter of map revision through the Corps of Engineers,
which cost approximately $400. Mr. Koenig explained that this letter could be used by the resident
to prove to the insurance company that flood insurance is not necessary; however, this type of
amendment does not actually change the map published by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). He noted that all of the residents along Puncheon Run could pursue map revisions
for their individual properties, some being successful and others not. Mr. Koenig stated that he has
been advised that there have been instances when a private surveyor has been requested to conduct
“group” surveys for individual property owners. It was his feeling that this may be the avenue
preferred by the City if map revisions are desired for these individual property owners versus
obtaining a flood plain study.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 6
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, suggested that the City serve as a facilitator and request the
resident of Shadow Court, his surveyor, Mr. Mike Powell, and interested citizens to conduct a
step-by-step workshop that would empower the residents to obtain map revisions.
Mr. Ruane moved to recommend that the City facilitate a workshop with appropriate technical
assistance, including the resident of Shadow Court, to educate residents on how to obtain map
revisions individually or by group action. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Horsey and
unanimously carried.
Planning and Funding for New Library
Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, reviewed the update information regarding the planning and
funding for the new library.
CDBG Program
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reported the Status of FY 2009-2010
CDBG Projects.
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 Fund) which was provided to members.
Mr. Ruane requested that staff provide the net result of the purchase and sale of properties.
Youth Advisory Committee
Mrs. Russell advised members that applications continue to be received and reviewed for the Youth
Advisory Committee.
In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Robert MacLeish, Sr., Greater Dover Committee, stated that he
serves on the Youth Committee of the Greater Dover Committee and felt that the two (2) youth
committees could benefit from interaction. Mrs. Russell assured Mr. MacLeish that
Mrs. Kay Dietz-Sass, Public Affairs Coordinator, would send him information for his review.
Mr. Lewis moved for adjournment, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 1:36 P.M.

presiding. Members present were Mr. McGiffin and Major Kosior. Mr. Bonar and Mr. Snaman
were absent. Members of Council present were Council President Hogan and Mr. Leary.
Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved, as presented.
Green Energy Fund Grant Modification
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, reminded members that approximately five (5) years ago,
the State of Delaware adopted the Delaware Energy Act, which includes a Green Energy
Fund Program. He stated that this program allows the City’s electric customers to contribute funds
to financially support the installation of renewable energy resources and promote the use of energy
efficient technologies. Mr. Lunt noted that this program is administered by the Delaware Municipal
Electric Corporation (DEMEC) for municipal providers in the State, including the City of Dover.
He explained that the Green Energy Fund Program specifies grant limits (a percentage of payment
and total payment) for the installation of qualifying technologies and advised members that DEMEC
suggested that the City modify the percentage of the grant payments, the total grant limits, and
increase efficiency standards for geothermal heat pumps. Mr. Lunt explained that the modifications
will assist in ensuring that funds are available for the greatest number of grant applicants.
He indicated that, currently, the City of Dover has a backlog of applications dating back
approximately 1.5 years.
Mr. Lunt reviewed the Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes, which
provides details of the proposed changes recommended by DEMEC and includes two (2)
major variations recommended by staff. He noted that on December 10, 2010, Delmarva Power
and Delaware Electric Cooperative modified their grant programs to incorporate similar
recommendations.
Mr. Lunt explained that staff’s recommendations for variations from DEMEC’s proposed changes
are as follows:
1) Non-profit applicants for photovoltaic system grants should be provided
funding at the same level as non-residential applicants.
2) Non-profit applicants for fuel cells should be provided the same grant
percentage calculation (20%) as residential and non-residential applicants.
Mr. Lunt stated that these suggestions from staff relate to the large number of schools, colleges, and
other non-profit entities based in the City due to the fact that it is the State capital. Because of the
substantial backlog of applications, he indicated that staff felt it more appropriate to treat all
non-residential groups equitably. Mr. Lunt noted that non-profit groups were only identified by
Delmarva Power as separate entities in the December 2010 modification; prior to this, they were
classified in the same category as non-residential applicants.
Página 35
UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 2
In reviewing the Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes, Mr. Lunt advised
members that the proposed changes were noted in red text on the first line of the table that applies
to each type of system, and that the second line includes current program guidelines. He noted that
the two (2) boxes highlighted in yellow identify staff’s suggested deviations from DEMEC
recommendations. Mr. Lunt also stated that system qualifications were modified to better reflect the
value of the installation. For example, he indicated that photovoltaic and small wind turbine grants
are now based on output rather than installation cost to incentivize the installation of more efficient
systems and that these systems are now limited to a maximum size of 50 kW. Mr. Lunt stated that
the same principle applies to solar water heater and geothermal heat pumps, noting that more
efficient systems receive larger grants, or qualify for these grants. He stated that the least efficient
geothermal heat pumps (previous units with energy efficiency ratings (EER) of 14) would be
eliminated from the program, due, in part, to advancements in technology. Lastly, he advised
members that the limit for the percentage calculation for fuel cell grants is being reduced to provide
more equity between system options.
Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Lunt indicated his concern that a State facility could be classified
as a non-profit entity. Disagreeing, Mr. McGiffin stated that he felt that the State of Delaware would
not qualify as a non-profit entity.
To further encourage conservation, Mr. Lunt stated that residential applicants will be required to
complete a City of Dover Public Utilities Residential Utility Service Audit, which may be scheduled
by calling 736-7070. He indicated that all non-residential applicants will have an energy audit
completed by a prequalified commercial auditor and that a listing of auditors can be found at
www.energizedelaware.org/businessallies. Mr. Lunt noted that the expense of this audit will be the
sole responsibility of the applicant and that the listing is maintained by Delaware’s Sustainable
Energy Utility. He stated that this requirement is also included in the Green Energy Program
administered for Delmarva Power customers.
Staff recommended adopting the Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes as
outlined and funding non-profit applications at the same levels/caps as non-residential applications.
Major Kosior felt that lowering the maximum grant amount could discourage non-profit entities from
applying and suggested that DEMEC is attempting to encourage that specific sector.
Responding, Mr. Lunt stated that the recommendation is not to discourage non-profit groups from
applying, but to continue to consider non-profit applicants as they have been considered in the past,
as part of the non-residential pool of applicants. He suggested that the proposed grant changes that
reflect an inclination to encourage non-profits were made by Delmarva Power, which deals with
various types of stakeholders.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to adopt the
Dover Green Energy Fund Incentive/Grant Proposed Changes, with the stipulation that the
proposed changes be revised to incorporate the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation’s
(DEMEC’s) recommendation to include a distinction for non-profit organizations
(Attachment #1). The motion was seconded by Major Kosior and unanimously carried.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 3
Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff Modification
Members were reminded that, in 2009, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued
Order No. 719 which attempted, in part, to remove barriers to Demand Response Programs (DRP)
operated by regional transmission organizations such as PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM).
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, advised members that the City of Dover had a specific
interest in a requirement that those utilities selling less than four (4) million MWh’s must have the
relevant electric retail regulatory authority (City Council) approve the participation of their retail
customers in the program. He stated that on February 22, 2010, City Council affirmed this intent and
created a Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff to document that the City of Dover affirms
participation in this program. Mr. Lunt noted that the tenets of the PJM-operated DRP include a
provision to compensate customers who reduce their consumption during periods of tight energy
supply or high usage. He indicated that the reduction of load also ensures electric grid reliability and
helps alleviate costs associated with new generation plants and transmission upgrades, both of which
are concerns on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Mr. Lunt explained that staff recommends that the City, or its authorized designee, be the only DRP
authorized to administer this program in the City’s electric territory. He stated that, currently, staff
intends to designate DEMEC as its authorized designee. Mr. Lunt advised members that the reason
for the modification to a single provider is twofold, as follows:
1) DEMEC solicited proposals from five (5) different providers and the proposal
selected provided the greatest return to the customer (80% return to customer,
20% retained for operations).
2) The City could call on its customers to reduce load during local system
emergencies and/or in an effort to reduce load during power peaks, utilizing
this procedure as a local demand response program which could reduce future
capacity expenses.
Mr. Lunt advised members that in calendar year 2010, there were nine (9) customers who
participated in the DRP through various Curtailment Service Providers that are registered with PJM.
He assured members that these customers will be notified of the change in the tariff and would
transition into the DEMEC program within one (1) year.
Staff recommended adoption of the modifications to the Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff.
It was noted that the proposed tariff has been reviewed by the City of Dover Utility Attorney,
Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts and Holt, and that he has approved this tariff in its final form.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to adopt
modifications to the Retail Customer Demand Response Tariff (Attachment #2), seconded by
Major Kosior and unanimously carried.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 4
Amendments to Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) Legislation
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, reminded members that, in 2010, Delaware legislators
amended the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) legislation by requiring
municipally-owned electric utilities to develop plans to include renewable power sources in their
power supply portfolios by 2014. He indicated that the amount of renewable power sources must
be compatible with the standards set for Delmarva Power, which plans to obtain 11.5% of its power
from renewable sources by 2014 and 25% by 2025.
Mr. Lunt reviewed a proposed amendment to the RPS legislation, which would allow municipalities
to include and count conservation, energy efficiency and demand-side management programs in their
RPS plans. He noted that staff felt that these aspects of energy management are just as important
as renewable energy sources and that a credit should be received for these efforts.
Mr. Lunt explained that, in general, these kinds of programs are more cost effective than renewable
energy sources at this time.
Staff recommended that the Mayor and Council President write a letter in support of the
RPS Legislation Amendment.
Mr. Ruane requested that staff advise members when the proposed legislation is presented for a
hearing so that they may attend to indicate their support.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend that the Mayor and Council President send a letter in
support of the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS) legislation amendment
(Attachment #3), seconded by Major Kosior and unanimously carried.
Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater)
(December)
Members were provided a Project Tracking Report, as of December 31, 2010, for the Utility
(Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP).
Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, stated that Council approved a change order for the inclusion
of a force main as a part of the Delaware State University/Delaware Technical and Community
College Force Main Rerouting Project. He advised members that the infrastructure has been
installed and is currently being tested and if it passes, the project will be substantially complete.
Mr. Lunt explained that blacktop work and seeding will be completed in the spring when
temperatures are warmer.
In addition, Mr. Lunt noted that the City has received full approval from the Delaware Department
of Transportation for the Route 13 Water Main Project and he anticipates opening the project for
bids within the next two (2) weeks. He reminded members that this project includes the replacement
of the Route 13 southbound lane water main, from State Street to White Oak Road, and will be a
nighttime project.

RETAIL CUSTOMER DEMAND RESPONSE
AVAILABILITY
The Dover Electric Utility (“Dover”) or its authorized designee is the sole entity permitted to bid demand response
directly into the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) (“DR Program”) on behalf of retail customers served by Dover.
No Customer may participate in a DR program of any other entity unless such program is consistent with the terms
and conditions in this tariff and approved in advance by Dover.
Dover or its authorized designee may allow a Customer to bid DR into PJM’s ancillary services market for energy
imbalance, spinning reserves, supplemental reserves, reactive power and voltage control, or regulation and
frequency response ancillary services, subject to the same terms and conditions.
DR programs may reduce electric service costs for the Customer, provide enhanced usage data, reduce emissions
from electric generation, and provide demand flexibility.
CONTENTS OF APPLICATION
Customer shall submit to Dover a written request to participate that includes the following: 1) Type of DR
program; and 2) Metering requirements for participation. Dover’s approval of the application shall be granted
within fourteen (14) days.
EFFECT OF APPLICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN DR PROGRAM
Dover’s receipt and review of any documentation submitted by a Customer shall not constitute approval of such
DR Provider or a guarantee of performance or payment by a DR Provider, nor shall Dover be liable for ANY
damages sustained by the Customer.
RIGHT TO TERMINATE PARTICIPATION IN DR PROGRAM
Dover reserves the right to disapprove a request to participate in a DR program or to terminate participation by
Customer when, in Dover’s sole discretion, Dover determines that participation by Customer will be detrimental to
another customer or to the City of Dover.
SPECIAL METERING REQUIREMENTS
If Customer requires special metering equipment or devices to participate in the DR program, Customer shall
provide the specifications for such equipment or devices in writing to the Dover Electric Department at the time of
application or promptly thereafter. Within fourteen (14) days thereafter, Dover will provide the Customer with an
estimate of the cost of the special metering equipment or devices and an estimate of the cost of providing special
meter reading data. The cost of any special metering equipment or device shall be the responsibility of the
Customer and shall be paid prior to the scheduled installation date. All costs for data or special readings shall be
billed to Customer monthly.

City of Dover
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
February 28, 2011
Sent to State and Local Legislators
Dear FIELD(Salutation):
The City of Dover offers its full support of House Bill No. 27 - An Act to Amend Title 26 of the Delaware
Code Relating to Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (RPS). This amendment will allow the City of
Dover to add energy conservation, energy efficiency, and demand-side energy management programs to its
strategies for complying with the standards set forth in the law.
The City of Dover was an advocate for the RPS legislation, as it was enacted last year, and is a proven leader
in the area of renewable energy, energy conservation, and carbon emission reductions. The City initiated,
and is now a partner in, the Dover Sun Park Project, a 10MW solar photovoltaic facility that will be
completed this summer and will be the largest solar facility in the northeast. Under the current law, the City
of Dover will be able to use the Dover Sun Park in its plan to meet the RPS standards. The City of Dover
has also converted street lights on Division Street to energy efficient LED lights; this is the first street in the
State of Delaware to fully deploy this technology. Under the current law, the City of Dover would not
receive credit for deploying energy efficient technology; however, under the proposed amendment, Dover
would receive credit.
The amendment will make it clear that energy conservation and efficiency programs are as important to
reducing our dependence on fossil fuels as are renewable energy sources. In addition, this amendment will
make Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards more reasonably attainable and will reduce the cost of
complying with the standards, thereby reducing energy costs to our customers.
As always, we wish to extend our appreciation for the continued support of our legislators.
Sincerely,
Kenneth L. Hogan Carleton E. Carey, Sr.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on February 14, 2011 at
6:00 p.m. with Chairman Leary presiding. Members present were Mr. McGiffin, Dr. Jones, and
Mr. Shevock. Mr. Salters was absent. Members of Council present were Council President Hogan
and Mr. Ruane. Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Dr. Jones moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously
carried.
Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions
During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of a Hiring Freeze for
Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval
of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that
there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there were no
positions to consider, the item could be removed.
Mr. Leary noted that there were no critical positions to be considered; therefore, no further action
was required.
Proposed Amendment to Purchasing Policy - Debarment
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the City recently received a
U. S. Department of Energy grant through the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA).
She explained that, as a result of a sub-grant monitoring visit by DEMA on November 17, 2010,
DEMA recommended incorporating written procedures for vendor debarment in the
City’s Purchasing Policy. Mrs. Mitchell reviewed (new) Section 11 - Debarment of Vendors for
Consideration of Awards of the City’s Purchasing Policy. She noted that the amended policy would
include procedures for the debarment of vendors/contractors who have violated policy standards,
prevent such vendors from contracting with or selling items to the City, and require the use of the
Federal Excluded Parties Listing to preclude the award of any contract utilizing federal funds to
debarred companies/individuals.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend that (new) Section 11 - Debarment of Vendors for
Consideration of Awards (Attachment #1), be incorporated in the City’s Purchasing Policy,
seconded by Dr. Jones and unanimously carried.
Debt Management Policy Review
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer reviewed the Draft City of Dover Debt Management
Policy (issued August 24, 2009 and revised February 14, 2011), noting that the Finance Department
periodically reviews this Policy and presents recommended changes. She explained that
recommended revisions to the Policy were depicted in red font, noting that a majority of the
suggested changes were not substantive but were made to clarify current policy. Mrs. Mitchell noted
the addition of the term “bank qualified” to Section IV, Paragraph A - Short-Term Debt (Page 3).
She indicated that, in this context, the term refers to a tax-free commercial bank loan or tax-exempt
bonds sold to a bank, and noted that this definition was added to the Policy Glossary (Page 13).

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 2011 PAGE 2
In addition, Mrs. Mitchell stated that changes were made to Section V - Restrictions on
Debt Issuance, A) Charter Restrictions, Paragraph iii (Page 4) to reflect that the City’s debt issuance
is limited to five (5) percent of the total assessed value of real property, in accordance with the
City’s current Charter.
Mrs. Mitchell explained that the information included in blue font on Pages 4 and 5 of the
Draft Policy is not part of the policy but was inserted to provide additional information to members
regarding the City’s current financial standing.
Mr. McGiffin commended Mrs. Mitchell’s diligence in ensuring that the policy is current.
Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of the revised City of Dover Debt Management
Policy (Attachment #2), seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:07 p.m.

SECTION 11 – DEBARMENT OF VENDORS FOR CONSIDERATION OF AWARDS
11.1 Any vendor who fails to perform a contract or complete a project within the time established
within the contract or invitation to bid may be subject for suspension or debarment. Once a problem
with a vendor/contractor is discovered, the Department responsible for the contract will document the
problem and all attempts at resolution. The vendor/contractor will be held in breach of contract. The
responsible Department must submit a recommendation of debarment to the City Manger and the
Procurement Manager. If sufficient cause is determined, the City Manager (with advice from the
City Solicitor, if necessary) and/or the Procurement Manager will provide reasonable notice to the
Vendor and allow a reasonable time for that vendor to be heard. The City Manager shall have the
authority to debar a vendor/contractor for cause from consideration for award of contracts. The
debarment shall not be for a period of more than three years.
11.2 The causes for debarment include:
(a) Conviction of or civil judgment for:
a. Commission of a fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining or
attempting to obtain or performing a public or private contract or subcontract;
(b) Conviction under state or federal statutes of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery,
falsification or destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or any other offense
indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty:
(c) Conviction under state or federal antitrust statutes arising out of the submission of
bids or proposals;
(d) Violation of contract provisions, as set forth below, of a character which is regarded
by the City Manger to be so serious as to justify debarment action:
(i) Deliberate failure without good cause to perform in accordance with the
specifications or within the time limit provided in the contract; or
(ii) A recent record of failure to perform or of unsatisfactory performance in
accordance with the terms of one (1) or more contracts; provided that failure to
perform or unsatisfactory performance caused by acts beyond the control of the
contractor shall not be considered to be a basis for debarment;
(e) Any other cause the City Manager determines to be as serious and compelling as
to affect responsibility as a City contractor, including debarment by another
governmental entity for any cause listed in this article; and
(f) For violation of the ethical standards set forth in Section 2 of this policy or Dover Code,
Chapter 30.
11.3 The City Manager is authorized to suspend a person from consideration for award of
contracts pending his decision if there is probable cause to believe that the person has
engaged in any activity which might lead to debarment. The suspension shall continue until
the debarment decision has been made. The City Manager shall notify the person to be
debarred in writing and set forth the basis for the action. A copy of the notification shall be
sent to the Mayor and Council. The written notification shall be delivered to the person to be
suspended either in person or by certified mail. The decision shall state the basis for the
action taken.
11.4 Before the award of any contracts utilizing federal funds, the user must exclude any vendors
listed on the Federal Government’s Excluded Parties Listing located at www.epls.gov.

City of Dover
Debt Management Policy
I. Purpose of Policy
The City recognizes the foundation of any well-managed debt program is a comprehensive debt
policy. A debt policy sets forth the parameters for issuing debt and managing outstanding debt
and provides guidance to decision makers regarding the timing and purposes for which debt may
be issued, types and amounts of permissible debt, method of sale that may be used and structural
features that may be incorporated. The debt policy should recognize a binding commitment to
full and timely repayment of all debt as an intrinsic requirement for entry into the capital
markets. Adherence to a debt policy helps to ensure that a government maintains a sound debt
position and that credit quality is protected. Advantages of a debt policy are as follows:
Enhances the quality of decisions by imposing order and discipline, and promoting
consistency and continuity in decision making,
Rationalizes the decision-making process,
Identifies objectives for staff to implement,
Demonstrates a commitment to long-term financial planning objectives, and is regarded
positively by the rating agencies in reviewing credit quality.
The City understands that incurring long-term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers or
ratepayers. Excess reliance on long-term debt can cause debt levels to reach or exceed the
government’s ability to pay. Therefore, conscientious use of long-term debt will provide
assurance that future residents will be able to service the debt obligations left by former
residents.
The Controller/Treasurer is responsible for implementation and oversight of the City’s debt
policy.
II. Debt Management Objectives
Maintain cost-effective access to the capital markets through prudent practices;
Maintain current credit rating and when possible enhance current credit rating in order to
reduce interest costs;
Assess risks and benefits associated with all options available to the City for any bond
issue, including fixed and variable rate debt;
Determine the amortization schedule that will best fit within the overall debt structure;
Avoid financial decisions that can negatively impact credit ratings;
Analyze the effects on pertinent debt and capital ratios:
Issue debt to finance capital construction, improvements, or acquisitions so as to be
integrated with the City’s long-term Capital Investment Plan;
III. Legal Governing Principles
In the issuance and management of debt, the City shall comply with the City Charter and with all
other legal requirements imposed by federal, state, and local rules and regulations, as applicable.

IV. Permitted Debt by Type
Under the provisions of the code, the Mayor and Council may issue debt to pay down the cost of
acquiring, constructing, or improving capital assets or to meet its cash flow needs. The Council
should not finance general operating costs from debt having maturities more than one year.
General operating costs include, but may not be limited to, those items normally funded in the
Council’s annual operating budget and having a useful life of less than one year. However, the
Council may deem it necessary to finance cash flow requirements pursuant to the Charter,
Section 50(a).
A. Short-Term Debt
The Council may issue short-term debt when such instruments allow the Council to meet its
cash-flow requirements or provide increased flexibility in its financing program. Short-term debt
includes, but is not limited to, tax anticipation notes, bank qualified lines of credit and
commercial paper, and interfund loans for short-term cash flow needs. Short-term debt may be
variable rate debt.
B. Long-Term Debt
The Council may issue long-term debt when the duration of the debt issue is consistent with the
economic or useful life to the improvement or asset the issue is financing. Long-term debt shall
be fixed rate debt in order to better project cash flow requirements. Long-term debt may include,
but is not limited to the following:
1. General Obligation Bonds – General Obligation (G.O.) bonds are secured by the
general credit and full revenue powers of the City; that is, the full faith and credit of the
City. It is not debt specific to a specific fund. All general obligation bonds must be
approved by the Council and can be sold in competitive or negotiated sales. The City
will finance its long-lived municipal improvements over the estimated life of the
improvement, not to exceed twenty years. The principal payments shall be structured
such that 60% is repaid within the first half of the estimated life of the improvement.
General Obligation Bonds may require voter approval.
2. Revenue Bonds – This is debt payable from a specific pledged revenue source or
special assessments, typically in the Electric Revenue and Water/Wastewater Funds.
These bonds are subject to covenants which limit the total debt service for the fund to a
percentage of the qualified expenditures of that fund. All revenue bonds must be
approved by the Council. The City will finance its system and infrastructure
improvements over a term not to exceed the lesser of 30 years or the life of the
improvement. Revenue bonds can be sold in competitive or negotiated sales. Revenue
Bond sales shall be structured to achieve level debt service payments to the extent
possible taking into consideration the costs of such financings. The City Revenue bonds
do not require voter approval.
3. Capital Leases - This is debt payable for the purchase of and secured by specific
capital equipment. Ownership transfers upon final payment. Capital Leases shall not
exceed the life years of the equipment being leased. All Capital Leases must be approved
by the Council.

4. Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs) – The Controller/Treasurer may
ascertain the need to fund internal working capital cash flow. Before issuing such notes,
cash flow projections shall be prepared and reviewed by the Legislative, Finance, and
Administrative Committee of the Council, which may report to the Council with a
recommendation to approve a TRAN. TRANs may be sold in either a competitive or
negotiated sale. All TRANs must be approved by the Council.
5. State Revolving Loan Fund - Delaware has revolving loan funds which are long-term
debt issued at below market interest rates for municipalities to fund designated programs.
As funds are repaid to the state by the various debtors, they are made available to other
qualified applicants for the loan. All State Revolving Fund Loans must be approved by
the Council.
C. Refunding Debt
The City shall review its outstanding debt annually for the purpose of determining if the financial
marketplace will afford the City the opportunity to refund an issue and lessen its debt service
costs. In order to consider the possible refunding of an issue a Net Present Value savings of
three percent over the life of the respective issue, at a minimum, must be attainable. The NPV
savings will include consideration of all fees and legal costs. The City may also refund or
restructure bonds when existing bond covenants impinge on prudent and sound financial
management.
V. Restrictions on Debt Issuance
A) Charter Restrictions – Section 50
i. Tax or revenue anticipation notes shall not exceed one (1) percent of the total
taxable assessment for a general tax, and shall be paid back out of current revenue
received thereafter, and shall require approval of three-fourths vote of all Council
Members and approval of the Mayor. (Section 50(a))
ii. General Obligation aggregate indebtedness cannot exceed one (1) percent of
taxable assessment for a general tax at the time such new bonds are issued.
Requires three-fourths vote of Council and approval of the Mayor. (Section
50(c)(i))
iii. The aggregate of amounts borrowed together with all other bonded indebtedness
for which the full faith and credit of the City has been pledged shall not at any
time exceed a sum equal to twenty-five (25%) five percent of the total assessed
value of real property. (Info only – currently $206 million)
iv. The amounts borrowed no greater than ¼ of one percent (.25%) of taxable
assessed value of real property (General Obligation) at any one time shall first be
approved by an affirmative vote of three-fourths of Council and the Mayor a
referendum vote of the qualified voters of the City of Dover. (Info only –
currently $7.2 million) Any new bonds issued pursuant to this clause may not
cause the total aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding at any one time to
exceed one percent of the total taxable assessment for a general tax at the time
such new bonds are issued. (Info only – currently $29 million) (Section 50(c)(i))

On July 12, 2007, Senate Bill #146 of the 144th General Assembly was signed into
law. This Act would decrease maximum bonded indebtedness from 25 percent to
5 percent and amend the $1million bond limit without a referendum to ¼ of one
percent (.25%) of total assessed value of real property or $3 million, whichever is
less.
On July 8, 2009, Senate Bill #165 of the 145th General Assembly was signed into
law. This act removed the “or $3 million, whichever is less” requirement from
the previous Charter change.
B.) Debt Service Limitations
i. Debt service payments (principal and interest) shall not exceed 8% of
recurring General Fund revenues for all general obligation bonds. (Info only –
Current < 2%)

iii. Revenue Bonds will adhere to all bond covenants and shall include Trustee held
debt service reserve accounts.
iv. Tax Exempt Bonds will have arbitrage calculations performed every five- years
as required by the Internal Revenue Code.
v. No City debt issued for the purpose of funding capital projects may be
authorized by the City Council unless an appropriation has been included in the
Operating Budget and the debt issue was presented in the Capital Investment Plan.
VI. Planning and Oversight of City Indebtedness
A. Overview
The City plans long- and short-term debt issuance to finance its capital program based on its cash
flow needs, sources of revenue, capital construction periods, available financing instruments and
market conditions. The Capital Investment Plan projects the capital needs of the City for the
next five years. The City shall prepare cash flow projections for the general, water/wastewater,
and electric funds for five years along with the attendant debt and capital ratios as presented in
Appendix A. The financial impact of these projections and ratios shall be considered by the
Council before any new debt instrument is approved.
The financial projections will include developer contributions, assessments, or impact fees when
planned construction projects (i.e. extensions) benefit a small sector of the service area or small
group of customers. Projects to replace or upgrade the trunk systems that benefit all customers
of the system will be financed through operating revenues.
B. Roles and Responsibilities
The City shall maintain a combination of in-house and contracted professionals to complete all
debt issuance transactions. The primary responsibilities shall be handled by the
Controller/Treasurer, City bond counsel, and a Financial Advisor. Other services may be
provided as determined necessary by this three-person team.

10. Investment Agreement Counterparties. Repurchase Agreements or Forward Delivery
Agreements shall be executed with counterparties rated at least AA (by at least on major
rating agency) with downgrade provisions requiring assignment or collateral should the
rating fall below A- or A3 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively. The City
may replace Investment Agreement Counterparties with notice at any time.
VII. Transaction-Specific Policies
A. Presumption of Competitive Sale
Unless otherwise justified and deemed necessary to minimize the costs and risk of the City’s
debt issue, the issuance and sale of all long-term debt (with the exception of capital leases and
State Revolving Loans) shall be achieved by competitive bid.
B. Competitive Bid Method
Any competitive sale of the City’s debt shall require approval of the City Council. The City’s
debt issued on a competitive bid basis shall be sold to the bidder(s) proposing the lowest true
interest cost to the City. Such bid may take the form of hand-delivered or electronically
transmitted offers to purchase the bonds. The City may use the services of a financial advisor to
administer the bid.
C. Negotiated Bid
When deemed appropriate to minimize costs and risks of the City’s debt issue, the Legislative,
Finance and Administrative Committee shall submit to the City a request to sell the debt issue on
a negotiated basis. If debt is sold on a negotiated basis, the negotiations of terms and conditions
shall include, but not be limited to, prices, interest rates, underwriting or remarketing fees and
commissions. All negotiated bids shall have a financial advisor who shall evaluate the terms
offered by the underwriter(s) and comparisons with the terms and conditions in the marketplace
for comparable issuers. The City shall require a post-sale analysis as described in the section
Roles and Responsibilities, Financial Advisors, above. No debt issue shall be sold on a
negotiated basis without an independent financial advisor.
D. Private Sale
The City shall only sell debt through private placement when necessary for a bridge loan to cover
emergencies or project start-ups.
E. Refunding
The City may refinance outstanding long-term debt when the public policy benefits of replacing
such debt outweigh the costs associated with new issuance as well as any increase in annual debt
service. The Controller/Treasurer, with advice from the Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel,
will recommend to the Legislative, Finance, and Administrative Committee when the
opportunity to refinance will provide significant benefit based on net present value savings. The
potential realization of a significant reduction in overall debt service costs shall be considered a
public policy benefit in preparing the recommendation. This may be accomplished either by
advance refunding to the first call or by defeasance to maturity.
Approved by City Council: August 24, 2009

Revisions in Red Text
F. Call Provisions
The City seeks to minimize the protection bondholders receive from optional redemption. This
is consistent with the City’s desire to obtain the lowest possible interest rate on its debt over
time. The City will seek early calls at low premiums to allow it to refinance debt more easily
when interest rates drop. The Controller/Treasurer and the City’s Financial Advisor shall
evaluate optional redemption provisions for each issue to assure the City does not pay
unacceptable higher interest rates to obtain advantageous call dates.
G. Investment of Bond Proceeds
All investments of bond proceeds shall adhere to the City’s Investment Policy approved by the
City Council.
H. Communications with Credit Rating Agencies
The Controller/Treasurer is responsible for maintaining relationships with rating agencies that
assign ratings to the City’s various debt obligations. The credit objective of the City is to
maintain the highest possible credit rating at all times. The Controller is to from time to time
report to the City Council the status of such ratings and describe the underlying elements of the
activities of the City which the rating agencies indicate affect said ratings. Each month the
Controller shall provide the Council with the current covenant ratios for revenue bonds. The
Controller shall request ratings prior to the sale of securities from at least one nationally
recognized rating agency.
I. Credit Enhancements
Credit enhancements (letters of credit, bond insurance, etc.) may be used, but only when net debt
service on the bonds is reduced by more than the costs of the enhancement.
J. Disclosure
The City is committed to full and complete financial disclosure, and to cooperating fully with
rating agencies, institutional and individual investors, City departments and agencies, other
levels of government, and the general public to share clear, comprehensible, and accurate
financial information. The City is committed to meeting secondary disclosure requirements on a
timely and comprehensive basis.
The City will comply with the standards of the Government Finance Officers Association for
financial reporting and budgeting presentation and the disclosure requirements of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Finance Department shall be responsible for ongoing
disclosure to established national information repositories and for maintaining compliance with
disclosure standards promulgated by state and national regulatory bodies.

of interest and principal sufficient to pay off the debt by maturity.
Arbitrage – profiting from differences in price when the same security, currency, or commodity
is traded on two or more markets. An element of tax exempt debt. The City maintains bond
reserves to provide assurance to bond holders of its ability to make its annual debt service
payments. In doing so, the rate earned on the reserve accounts may at times exceed the rate
being paid on the bonds. In these instances, the City will be subject to tax payments on the
earnings that exceed the interest cost as determined by a licensed arbitrage calculator.
Bank Qualified Debt – commercial loans done on a tax-exempt basis or tax-exempt bonds sold
to a bank instead of to other bondholders.
Direct Debt – direct debt is a comprehensive measure of a municipality’s long-term obligations
directly supported and backed by general revenues and taxes.
Fixed Rate Debt – debt that pays interest based on a fixed coupon rate until maturity.

JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND
SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING
A Joint Meeting of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration and Safety Advisory and
Transportation Committees was held on February 17, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Leary
presiding. Members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Salters, Mr. Davis,
Mr. Harmon, Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Mrs. Williams was absent. Councilman Ruane and
Mayor Carey were also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mrs. Russell moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously
carried.
Proposals to Address Community Concerns
Members were recently made aware of gang activities occurring in and around the City of Dover.
Meetings were held on November 15, 2010 and December 6, 2010 to discuss these issues. As a
result of these meetings, Police Chief James Hosfelt reviewed a letter from the Dover Police
Department, dated February 4, 2011, which offered possible solutions.
Chief Hosfelt reminded members that the Dover Police Department is currently staffed at 89 officers
and that two (2) additional officers will be hired in March, based on Council’s prior approval, one
(1) of which will be paid over the next 30 months by a Community Oriented Policing
Service (COPS) grant. Chief Hosfelt stated that these two (2) officers will bring the Department’s
staffing to 91 officers. Chief Hosfelt requested consideration of hiring two (2) additional officers,
which would bring the total police force to 93 officers, and that the hiring process be completed in
time for all new officers to attend the next Delaware State Police Academy class, which he stated
may be scheduled as early as mid-March 2011. He reminded members that the current police
operating budget can absorb the costs of the additional officers through the remainder of the fiscal
year; however, he noted that it will take a strong commitment by the Committee and all of Council
to fund these positions in FY 2012 and beyond.
Chief Hosfelt assured members that the Police Department understands its responsibility to serve
the citizens of Dover, while working within the confines of the budget established by City Council,
and that the request would not cause detriment to other needed services within the City. He indicated
that the authorized strength of 93 officers would allow for the number of officers assigned to
community policing, quality of life, and the drug unit to be restored to previous levels.
Mrs. Russell moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar.
Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Russell indicated that her motion was to support the
recommendation to increase the police force to 93 officers.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Chief Hosfelt explained his suggestion regarding the concept of
“civilianizing” some positions within the Department that are currently filled by police officers, such
as the Red Light Enforcement Officer, noting that the cost of a civilian employee would be less than
that of an officer. He stated that there are some positions that could be filled with retired law
Página 59
JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND SAFETY ADVISORY
AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 17, 2011 PAGE 2
enforcement officers, and that the State Police have adopted this approach with some units.
Chief Hosfelt explained that hiring retired officers for these positions is a necessity because police
certification is required, and retired officers can maintain certification with very little impact to the
organization. He advised members that a civilian Sex Offender Agent costs the State approximately
$40,000 per year and a civilian Red Light Enforcement Officer costs approximately $46,000 per
year, much less than the cost of a new officer at $85,000. Therefore, he stated that filling these
positions with retired officers would be another way to increase available police staffing at a cost
much less than hiring an additional officer.
Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding the request to establish a one-time “Police Chief” discretionary
fund by including an additional $40,000 in the budget, Chief Hosfelt stated that the additional funds
are being requested to financially sustain the Department through the end of the fiscal year when the
Department will be “short” officers due to Academy attendance.
Mr. DePrima assured members that staff has completed the latest estimate for the current budget and
that funds are available to accommodate the two (2) monetary recommendations (two (2) additional
officers and an additional $40,000 in discretionary funds).
Mr. Bonar moved to amend the motion by accepting the Police Chief’s Report in its entirety by
recommending approval of the recommendation for the additional $40,000 in discretionary funds
and civilianizing positions within the Department that are currently filled by police officers.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis.
Mr. McGiffin relayed reluctance to support the amendment to the motion since the financial
implications of the additional $40,000 discretionary funds and the creation of three (3) civilian
positions are not known. Responding, Chief Hosfelt stated that the recommendation is to explore
the option of civilianizing positions so that, in the future, if it is determined that additional police
officers are necessary, this approach could be used to increase the number of police officers with less
impact on the budget. However, he assured members that, at this time, staff is not recommending
authorization to civilianize the positions, but is only recommending that this concept be explored for
possible implementation in the future.
In regards to the additional $40,000 discretionary funds, Mr. DePrima stated that the financial
implication would be limited to $40,000, explaining that if the $40,000 being considered is not
provided to the Police Department, it would be applied to the fund balance.
Responding to Mr. Ruane regarding consideration of civilianizing School Resource Officers,
Chief Hosfelt informed members that the State Police attempted to make all School Resource
Officers agents rather than officers (retired police officers) last year, and State legislators did not
approve this request. As a result, he stated that this change would require an amendment in
legislation and noted that staff would be willing to further investigate this matter.
Mr. Ruane requested that staff determine the possibility of including the civilianization of the
School Resource Officers and provide members an update.

within the Department that are currently filled by police officers was unanimously carried.
The motion, as amended, recommending that the Police Chief be authorized to hire two (2)
additional officers for the upcoming Police Academy class, which would bring the total police
force to 93 officers; establish a one-time "Police Chief" discretionary fund by including an
additional $40,000 in the budget; and review the feasibility of civilianizing positions within the

2010
ANNUAL REPORT
Página 62
February 28, 2011
Mayor and City Council
PO Box 475
Dover, DE 19903
Dear Mayor Carey and members of City Council:
The members of Dover Fire Department experienced another challenging year in 2010
and even with the financial crises we are experiencing, we continue to provide superior
fire & rescue services to the citizens of the City of Dover and surrounding areas.
Both January and February proved to be busy months with two large snow storms, the
members of the Dover Fire Department logged over 887 volunteer hours during this
period.
In March, I worked closely with Elaine Edwards and Kim Hawkins from Human
Resources to develop the job description and title for the new Fire Chief’s Assistant
position, their guidance and patience was much appreciated.
The selection process began for the new position in April and we interviewed 11
candidates. Rebecca Rollison, formerly with the City Clerk’s Office, was hired and has
proven to be vital in the operation of the Dover Fire Department. She assists me with
everyday obligations of the Fire Chief, as well as providing consistency in her role as the
supervisor of the Fire Dispatchers.
The annual Old Dover Days was held in May and members of the Fire Department and
their families held an Alex’s Lemonade Stand and a bucket brigade in memory of Ethan
Williams. All proceeds from this event benefitted the Alex’s Lemonade Foundation. We
look forward to continuing this in the years to come.
On the morning of June 6, we were dispatched to a working fire at 904 Woodcrest Drive.
When units arrived they found a 3 story garden style apartment with heavy fire venting
thru the roof. Due to large amount of fire in the stairwell, some residents resorted to
jumping from windows to evacuate. This fire was fast moving and weakened the
structural integrity of the building, causing roof collapse and the evacuation of fire
personnel. There were multiple civilian and firefighter injuries as well as two civilian
casualties. The cause of this fire is still under investigation with the City of Dover Fire
Marshal’s office.

This fire brought attention to the lack of monitored alarm systems in multi occupancy
buildings where early detection and notification may have altered the outcome of this
fire.
In June, the fire dispatchers as well as the Fire Chief’s Assistant completed a three (3)
day class to become certified as fire dispatchers. This certification is recognized
nationally and they are currently the only dispatchers in the City to have this.
The fire department completed one (1) full year of operation under the Haggerty and
Haggerty recommendations in July. We came in 7% under budget proving the agreement
has been a success! July also brought the approval by City Council, in accordance with
the CIP, for the Dover Fire Department to purchase a new ladder truck. The department
used the HGAC bidding process, approved by Donna Mitchell for the truck acquisition.
This truck will have the capabilities of an aerial, and an engine, allowing the incident
commander multi-purpose use. Ladder 1 was sold and the proceeds from the sale will be
used to equip the new ladder truck.
The Delaware Volunteer Firefighters Association Annual Conference took place in
September. This conference offers various fire and medical seminars with guest speakers
from around the country.
The NASCAR races held in May and September at Dover International speedway bring
close to 100,000 people to an area approximately 3 square miles in size. The Fire
Department plays a key role in unified command ensuring the safety of all attendees.
Fire Prevention Week is in October and members of the Dover Fire Department were
able to reach out to over 3,000 children within our fire district.
Thankfully, our first large snowstorm did not occur until late December so Annual
Operation Santa went on as planned this year. The volunteers of Dover Fire Department
visited several communities within the City of Dover bringing Santa and holiday spirit to
those residents!
As the year came to a close, although I enjoyed my time as Fire Chief, I decided against
running for re-election to spend more time with my family and reach other personal goals
I have set for myself.
I wish the new chief, Jack Fortney, the best of luck, and please know that I will help him
to the best of my ability with his transition into this demanding role.
Sincerely,
Sean P.M. Christiansen

In October, during Fire Prevention Week, the Department goes to local
schools throughout the City of Dover to educate the children on various
issues. The members put on a demonstration with a firefighter, dressed
as they would be on a fire scene, to show the children how important it
is to not be afraid of a firefighter. The children are able to see what the
firefighter would look like and how they
would sound in the event of an actual
emergency. This program teaches children
to keep low to the floor and not to panic if
a fire would break out in a residence or a
structure. The children are taught how
important it is to have a meeting place
outside their residence for their family if a fire would break out, as well
as safety with lighters and matches. Upon
completion of the discussions and
demonstrations, the children are taken
for a tour of one of fire apparatus. The
Dover Fire Department is always happy
to assist the community with Fire
Prevention programs for schools,
churches or civic organizations.

I. Introduction
The City of Dover Planning and Community Development
Department faced a number of challenges in 2010, as well as a number
of opportunities. With the mission of the department’s programs
focused on various quality of life issues, the economic downturn has
had a significant impact. Vacant foreclosed properties have caused a
challenge for the Code Enforcement Division, as they frequently fall
into a state of disrepair and become an eyesore to the surrounding
neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program has provided
funds to purchase foreclosed homes and rehabilitate them to create
View West Along Ann Moore opportunities for affordable homeownership. The Planning Office has
Street seen a slight change in the number of development applications, but
has used this as an opportunity to draft ordinances to implement the Comprehensive Plan. However, some
construction activity has continued in the residential and commercial sectors.
In 2010, the Planning Commission reviewed two exciting public projects
that will provide long-term benefit to the entire region in the Dover
Public Library and the Dover High School. The construction of these
projects will provide residents of Dover and the surrounding area access
to a variety of learning resources, including improved technology and
state of the art performance and athletic facilities. As the year drew to a
close, the first phase of site construction was underway for the new
Dover Public Library.
New Dover Transit Center
In addition, the City’s efforts to develop the Garrison Oak Technical
Park have continued to move forward with the approval of the preliminary subdivision plan by the
Planning Commission and the commencement of construction of the Dover Sun Park. Efforts to
revitalize the Downtown gained new energy when the Dover/Kent County MPO and the Downtown
Dover Partnership jointly sponsored the Transit Center Neighborhood Plan Charrette in the fall. This,
combined with the opening of the new Transit Center have raised a new level of interest in downtown
redevelopment, and provided a visual plan of what a revitalized downtown might look like.
Implementation of the plan will be a priority during the coming year.
Although the Neighborhood Stabilization Program has provided funding to turn foreclosed homes into
affordable homeownership opportunities, the housing crisis has continue to cause challenges throughout
the City. Similar to last year, absentee banks have been only marginally responsive to City and
neighborhood demands to properly maintain and secure vacant houses. Nearly all neighborhoods in the
City continue to have foreclosed houses, which have added an increased burden on the Code
Enforcement Division. Tall grass, overgrowth, and dilapidation of vacant structures are frequent
complaints that the City attempts to address. The Code Enforcement Division has worked hard to
develop relationships with property management companies to ensure that houses remain secured and
are proactively maintained until they are occupied by new residents. This is a challenge that we expect
to continue in the coming year.

Planning Staff
regard, including the updates to the Environmental
Protections within the Zoning Ordinance, the creation of the new Recreational and Open Space Zone
(ROS) and the subsequent rezoning process to apply this zoning district (Article 3, Section 30), and the

Section 30, was brought forward in spring 2010 and ultimately adopted on June 14, 2010. The second
phase of this project was to rezone properties identified as Open Space in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan to
the new Recreational and Open Space (ROS) zone. Staff performed an analysis using GIS and contacted all
property owners whose property was proposed for rezoning to this new classification, as well as all
property owners within 200 feet of these locations. Ultimately, 147 properties were rezoned to this new
district, including parks, private open space in subdivisions, and cemeteries. City Council approved these
rezonings associated with the Recreational and Open Space Zone (ROS) on August 9, 2010.
Ordinance Development
In addition to the creation of the Recreational and Open Space Zone, the 2008 Comprehensive Plan called
for a number of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Other ordinances are developed as the need arises
to correct problems in the Code. The Planning Staff spent much of 2010 working on these ordinances.
Below is a summary of ordinances developed during 2010:
Race Weekend Parking
Standards for motor vehicle and recreational vehicle parking during NASCAR events were adopted by
City Council on March 8, 2010. This was a project of the Fire Marshal’s Office and the Emergency
Management Coordinator. The Planning Office provided support in developing the ordinance text.
(Zoning Ordinance, Article 6, Section 5.5)
Off Street Parking Correction
After City Council adopted amendments to the off street parking requirements in 2009, the Planning
Staff found an unintended consequence that needed to be corrected. The text was drafted such that if
2010 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 10
Página 111
the parking requirement in Article 6 was greater than that in any given zone, the greater number of
spaces was required. This meant that downtown businesses would need to provide off street parking
that is not possible. On March 8, 2010, City Council adopted an ordinance to fix this problem in the C-
2 (Central Commercial Zone). (Zoning Ordinance, Article 6)
Environmental Protections
The Planning Office developed a small working group made up of interested parties and technical
experts representing the State of Delaware, the development community, and environmental
advocates, to rewrite the environmental protection provisions within the Zoning Ordinance. The
group met monthly from January through July, and the Planning Staff presented a draft ordinance to
the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee in August 2010. On
recommendation of the Planning Commission City Council adopted the amendments in November
2010. The new provisions include a riparian buffer that can vary by width based on the types of
vegetation used, a clear and consistent definition of the term wetland, the elimination of a 25-foot
buffer from flood plains, and provisions for redevelopment within flood plain areas. (Zoning
Ordinance, Article 5, Section 11)
Board of Adjustment
After a number of training sessions with the Board of Adjustment, the Planning Staff began to work
with the City Solicitor to develop a zoning text amendment to bring the City’s code provisions
regarding the Board of Adjustment in line with State statute and case law. These amendments were
brought forward to the City Council and adopted on August 9, 2010. (Zoning Ordinance, Article 9)
Maintenance of Private Streets in Mobile Home Parks
At the request of members of City Council, the Planning Staff developed an ordinance to require that
private streets within MHP (Mobile Home Park) zones are maintained clear of obstructions by the park
owner. This amendment was adopted by City Council in January 2011. (Zoning Ordinance, Article 3,
Section 8)
ROS and C-2A Changes
This amendment added cemeteries as a permitted use in the ROS (Recreational and Open Space Zone),
and added suitably landscaped parking lots as a conditional use within the C-2A (Limited Central
Commercial Zone). The ordinance was adopted by City Council in January 2011 (Zoning Ordinance,
Article 3, Sections 14 & 30)
Permit and Licensing Review
The Planning Staff is part of the Building Permit review process. Our activities involving reviewing
specific types of permit applications for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and for compliance
with any conditions of approval from the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, or Historic
District Commission. See Summary Chart given below for review activities in 2010. The Planning Staff
is also involved in the review of Business Licenses, Rental Dwelling Permits, and Public Occupancy
Licenses.

Other Major Projects
Eden Hill Farm: Traditional Neighborhood Design
In 2010, the Eden Hill Farm Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND)
project continued to construct more residential units and with
additional review to redesign certain areas of the project. The Eden
Hill Farm TND consists of five (5) large tracts: a preservation area
(historic house area), an office district area, a commercial district area,
a residential area, and an open space area. The building construction
activities and site work activities for 2010 were focused in Phase 1 of
the Residential District. Several
revisions to the Pattern Book for the
View to 400 Block of Ann
Residential District occurred related
Moore Street
to Townhouse and Duplex units.
2010 included review of another redesign of the Neighborhood
Commercial District. As development progresses, City staff continues
to meet with applicants, developers and builders regarding the Eden
Hill Farm TND project in order to achieve plan approvals and to
address compliance with construction and design issues. The following
listing provides an update for each district of the Eden Hill Farm TND. Streetscape 423-411 Ann
Moore Street

Residential District
The Residential District Subdivision Plan (Record Plan and Final Construction Document Plans)
was originally recorded and approved in 2007 thus establishing the street layout and lots for 665
dwelling units. However, revisions to the original lot layout continue to be reviewed and
approved.
Several minor revisions to the lot layouts within Phase 1 of the Residential District were
approved. In March 2010, the Planning Office approved Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan to
make property line revisions affecting Lots 2F, 2G, and 2H (MI-10-04).
In November, the Planning Commission granted conditional approval to an application request
regarding the townhouse architecture for a portion of Phase 2 of the Residential District and
proposed revisions to the Pattern Book guidelines for duplex units. The approval granted is
subject to a number of architectural conditions and requiring the developers to continue working
with Planning Staff on the details. The decision also requires publication of a final edition of the
Comprehensive Design Standards Manual (Pattern Book) for the Residential District (MI-10-
14).
Planning Staff continues to work with the residential builder, Ryan Homes, on the design of
various unit types to ensure architectural compliance with the Pattern Book. The project consists
of two types of townhouse units (Livingston and Mediterranean) and a duplex unit (Glyndon)
which are approved for use with specific conditions.
The issuance of Building Permits continued in 2010 for units in the Phase 1 area along the
streets of South Greenberry Lane and Ann Moore Street in the vicinity of Lloyd Street and Ruth
Way. Building Permits were issued in Jan, March, May, August, and October for a total of
twenty-eight (28) units. A number of permit revisions were also reviewed.
The Certificates of Occupancy for the residential units were issued as follows: six Townhouse
units in April; one Duplex unit in June; one Duplex unit in July; six Townhouse units in
September; and seven Townhouse units in November. The Planning Office experienced
difficulties with infrastructure completion by the developer for items such as street tree
planning, street lights, and active recreation elements; however, some progress was made to
complete these items. For the period 2007-2010 for the overall Residential District in Eden Hill
Farm TND, a total of 51 Building Permits had been issued with a total of 42 units receiving
Temporary or Final Certificates of Occupancy. Currently, there are seven units under active
construction.
The development of Ann Moore Park at the intersection of Ann Moore Street and Ruth Way
began in Fall 2010. The Park, as planned, consists of a lawn area, landscaping, benches, bike
racks and a connecting sidewalk system.
Professional Office, Medical & Financial District
For the Professional Office District (Record Plan and the Final Construction Plan Set) received
Final Plan approval in 2007 and the first buildings (Buildings 1 and 2) were completed in late
2008. No additional building construction or plan review occurred in 2010.
The intersection of Banning Street and North Street at Clarence Street is now a signalized
intersection.
Neighborhood Commercial District
The Planning Commission originally approved the Neighborhood Commercial District
Implementation Plan on December 17, 2007 and then approved a Revised Implementation Plan
2010 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 13
Página 114
in March 2009. Again in 2010, the applicant proposed major design revisions to the plan
necessitating additional review.
A new Revised Implementation Plan for the Neighborhood Commercial District, filed in August
2010, was scheduled to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at their September meeting;
however, was postponed until the Commission’s October meeting due to inadequate public
notice for the meeting and a pending revised plan submission.
On October 18, 2010, the Planning Commission granted conditional approval of the Revised
Implementation Plan for the Neighborhood Commercial District (Revision #2 – Updated Plan of
October 1, 2010). The most significant change was the approval for a rights-in only entrance
from North Street directly into the District.
The Commercial District remains in the process of finalizing the Revised Implementation Plan
(October 2010) and Revised Pattern Book in order to achieve Final Plan approval of the revised
construction plans. The final approval is still pending; no plan resubmissions have been received
since the Planning Commission’s action on the Revised Implementation Plan (Revision #2 –
Updated Plan of October 1, 2010) in October.
Proactive Code Enforcement
The Code Enforcement Division continued its efforts to provide proactive
code enforcement, as identified as a City Council priority in previous years.
A number of efforts have been underway to improve the proactive approach
to Code enforcement.
In 2010, staff attempted to increase the number of annual housing
Two Officers Looking at inspections of rental properties from previous years. Staff conducted 785
a Dangerous Building housing inspections in 2008, and increased that number to 944 in 2009.
But due to staff shortages, only 630 housing inspections were done in
2010. Considering that we lost one code officer to retirement and another on a 6 month military
deployment, 630 housing inspections were quite an achievement for the remaining two code
officers.
The Code Enforcement Division continues the collection of code enforcement fees for citations
issued for various code violations. This has increased the payment rate of citations from
previous levels where the Police Department had the primary role of collecting the fees. In
2009, the Department collected $7,150.00 and in 2010, $7,980.00.
The Code Enforcement Supervisor worked with the licensing staff to develop a way to better
track and register vacant buildings within the City’s H.T.E database and continues to improve
the monitoring of the buildings. Since the program begin in 2007, we have registered 333
structures as vacant. Currently, staff estimates that we have around 200 actively registered
vacant buildings within the City. These are being monitored by the Code Officers for vagrancy
and exterior deterioration. Any code issues that cause a blight to the community or are
considered a hazard to public safety have resulted in this Department taking code action.

Historic District Commission
The Historic District Commission reviewed eleven (11) applications for
Architectural Review Certificates in 2010. This included the referral of two
Building Permits to the Historic District Commission for review of a roof
project at 408 South State Street and a siding replacement on the New
Jerusalem Baptist Church. Major projects involved proposals for an elevator
and canopy addition at Wesley United Methodist Church, a new building
known as Duncan Plaza at 600 Forest Street, and the new building known as
Bayard Plaza at 200-216 West Loockerman Street. Other projects reviewed
John Bell House View to included installation of solar panels at Woodburn, façade renovations at the
SW Biggs Museum, and the reconfiguration and expansion of the West Water
Street Parking Lot.

Some projects within the Historic District were eligible for administrative
review of the Architectural Review Certificate as part of the Building Permit
process and included such projects as signs, window replacement projects,
exterior finish/siding/trim work renovations, and façade renovations.
North Elevation of Bayard
The Historic District area of Downtown Dover continues to be the site of Hotel Building
many community festivals, parades, and activities associated with the
First State Heritage Park. 2010 saw new signage to direct visitors to the historic area, the opening of
the First State Heritage Park Welcome Center at the Delaware Public Archives building, the occupation
of the entire building at 406 Federal Street by the Biggs Museum of American Art, the adaptive reuse of
two museum buildings in Museum Square, and the construction of
the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial on the southern edge of
Legislative Mall. In 2010, construction activities continued at the
Kent County Courthouse Building Addition and in late 2010 some
of the infrastructure improvements for the new Dover Public
Library commenced.
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan adopted in February 2009 included
Chapter 6: Historic Preservation Plan which set a guide for the
Archives and FSHP Welcome activities and initiatives of the Commission. As part of the Goals and
Center Banners Recommendations for Historic Preservation, the Commission is
diligently working on a project to evaluate and review of the Design
Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. Throughout 2010 the Historic
District Commission reviewed the existing document suggesting clarifications, formatting, different
strategies for project review in specific areas of the Historic District (i.e. how to review projects on The
Green versus projects along Loockerman Street), new guidelines for items such as decks, solar panels, etc.
As an in-house project, the Planning Staff is in the process of compiling the revisions and developing a
format for the new document.
Planning Commission
In 2010, the volume of development applications reviewed by the Planning Commission and/or the
Planning Staff increased from the 2009 application volume. An increased number of small scale site
plans and text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance accounted for the increased volume for 2010. The
City of Dover Planning Commission and staff reviewed 74 separate development applications including
36 Site Plans, 8 Rezoning requests, 0 Annexations, 5 Conditional Uses, 5 Subdivisions, 0 Unified Sign
Plans, and 20 Miscellaneous requests.
While application volume increased, the overall level of development activity remained consistent if not
slightly better than 2009. Within 2010, a few large scale and economically significant projects were
reviewed including the new Dover Public Library, new Dover High School, and the Garrison Oak
Technical Park/Solar Park. Planning Staff was deeply involved in numerous implementation items for
the 2008 Comprehensive Plan including a Comprehensive Rezoning to implement the Recreation and
Open Space Zone as well as a complete re-write and update of the Zoning Ordinance’s environmental
control regulations (see narrative for further details on specific projects).

Honorable Carleton E. Carey, Sr., Mayor
Members of Dover City Council
City Hall
Dover, DE 19901
Mayor Carey and Council Members:
It is my pleasure to submit to you the 2010 Annual Report of the Dover Police
Department. This past year proved to be a challenging year for the employees of the Dover
Police Department. The old adage “do more with less” is very appropriate when you consider
the amount of work completed with reduced staffing throughout 2010. It is my belief that 2011
will prove to be another challenging year for all those involved in public safety, but I assure you
the employees of the Dover Police Department are up to the task.
When reviewing this report you will first notice that the Department’s total complaints
have increased 15%, which is a total of 5,252 more complaints then the previous year. The total
number of Group A Crimes has increased 2% and 41% of these crimes were cleared. A
description of Group A Crimes is listed in the Criminal Summary of this report. Although Group
A Crimes have increased, the city experienced an 18% decrease in violent crime, which includes
murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
The Dover Police Department continues to excel in investigating major crimes. We have
some of the highest clearance rates in the nation when compared to cities of similar size. This
year we experienced 28 fewer robberies than in 2009 and 71% of these crimes were cleared.
There were 167 burglary investigations in 2010, one less than 2009. Of the 167 burglaries, 60%
of these crimes were cleared. As you view the graphs on page 7 and page 9 you will see that we
have greatly exceeded national averages again this year.

2010 Annual Report
Page 2
It has long been the philosophy of the Dover Police Department that a very large
percentage of crime in Dover is tied to illegal drugs. In 2010, the Drugs, Vice, & Organized
Crime Section accounted for 1,732 proactive arrests, involving drugs, prostitution and counterfeit
merchandise. As a result of these arrests, this group of officers seized significant amounts of
marijuana, cocaine and various forms of prescription medication. Additionally, $831,516.65 was
seized along with 14 vehicles valued at approximately $70,000.00.
You will also notice that the number of crashes (accidents) is down 2% from the previous
year. This is the eighth year in a row that we have had a reduction in the number of crashes from
the previous year. Hopefully, there is some correlation between this reduction and the fact that
our traffic arrests have increased by 2% as compared to 2009. The total number of traffic arrests
this year is 20,469 arrests and includes 5,097 for speeding violations. Additionally, the Dover
Police Department issued 3,379 traffic reprimands (warnings).
In closing, I would encourage you to review this report in its entirety since I have only
taken the time to highlight a few specific areas. As Chief of Police, I take great pride in the
amount of hard work and dedication put forth by my co-workers, the employees of the Dover
Police Department. It is our intention to continue the good work we have completed this year
and build upon it in 2011and beyond.
Respectfully submitted,
James E. Hosfelt, Jr.
Chief of Police

Officer & Civilian
of the
Year 2010
PFC Christopher Bumgarner Mr. Robert Neylan
A member of the Dover Police Department since 2005, PFC Chris Bumgarner was named Officer
of the Year for 2010, in recognition of his outstanding work ethic and dedication to duty. One example of
his dedication is the apprehension of multiple shooting suspects after a gang related gun battle had
ensued in a Dover neighborhood. The gun fight involved numerous gang members that were in the
process of fleeing the area when the call came into the Dover Police Department. PFC Bumgarner was
one of the officers who responded to the scene and based on the physical evidence and the information
being provided, he was able to identify multiple residences that the suspected shooters had fled into and
set up a perimeter around the homes and contained the situation. As a result of PFC Bumgarner’s
decisive thinking and actions, officers were able to safely and successfully contact and arrest multiple
shooters involved in the incident as well as recover weapons utilized in the shooting.
PFC Christopher Bumgarner truly exemplifies the term "Dover's Finest".
A member of the Dover Police Department since 2001, Robert was named Civilian of the Year for
2010, in recognition of his outstanding professionalism and dedication to his duties, whereas he
completed destruction trips to the steel mill in which over 150 weapons were destroyed. He also teaches
evidence and photography to both the Citizens Police Academy and new police officers. Robert is also
called upon to take photos at City functions in addition to his regular duties.
Robert Neylan clearly has earned the honor of being named Civilian of the Year.

Special Operations Response Team
(SORT)
The Special Operations Response Team is
comprised of 18 veteran officers. Four positions were
added this year to supplement and meet the increasing
needs of the team. Officers are only considered for this
special assignment upon completion of extensive
physical testing as well as firearms proficiency. The
Special Operations Response Team is highly trained in
the areas of hostage rescue, barricaded subjects, and
high risk warrant service.
During 2010, each member of this extremely motivated team completed an average of over 200
hours of specialized training in firearms, tactics and rappelling. Additionally, the Special Operations
Response Team executed numerous high-risk search warrants in support of the Drugs, Vice, & Organized
Crime Section, the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency and the Delaware State Police.
The team successfully resolved an incident involving a barricaded suspect who was armed with
gasoline and a lighter who was threatening to blow up his home. SORT also responded to six gunman
barricaded in a home who had fled from a large exchange of gunfire with another group. Both incidents
were resolved without injury to any officers, civilians or suspects. Lastly, the team assisted the United
States Secret Service by providing a security detail for the Vice President’s visit to Legislative Mall in
May, 2010.
Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT)
The Crisis Negotiation Team is a specialized unit
comprised of ten veteran officers of the Dover Police
Department, whose mission is to respond to all Barricade
and Hostage situations. The CNT Commander reports
directly to the Deputy Chief of Police who is also
responsible for authorizing their activation. Once activated,
the Crisis Negotiation Team focuses their resources on
establishing personal contact with the individual involved.
Once contact is established CNT uses the opportunity to
appraise, evaluate and gather intelligence in order to
resolve the crisis as quickly as possible.
The Crisis Negotiation Team added MCpl. Jeffrey Melvin and Cpl. Mickie Price as new team
members in 2010. The Crisis Negotiation Team maintains their proficiency through bi-monthly training
exercises, two of which include joint training with SORT. Throughout 2010, members of the Crisis
Negotiation Team attended continuing education courses designed to enhance the team’s capabilities

.Internal Affairs
The Internal Affairs Unit is staffed with one sworn officer
who holds the rank of Lieutenant. The mission of the Internal
Affairs Unit is to ensure the integrity of the Police Department by
maintaining an internal system that is objective, fair, and equitable
in its methods of internal investigation. The Internal Affairs Office
is responsible for investigating allegations of misconduct by
employees both sworn and civilian. The Internal Affairs Unit also
investigates all complaints or allegations of corruption, use of
excessive force, breach of civil rights, criminal misconduct, and
violations of department policy. This office is tasked with working
directly with the City Solicitor in responding to civil actions. Lt. Benton Counselman
In addition to its primary duties, the Internal Affairs Office retains an active role in training new
recruits along with local citizens who attend the Citizens Police Academy. New employees are acquainted
with the function of the Internal Affairs Office, including an overview of rules, regulations and job
performance standards. Internal Affairs is also tasked with several other responsibilities including the
inspection of departmental equipment, vehicles, and evidence storage facilities.
Public Information Officer
The Public Information Officer (PIO) is a responsibility assigned to the Dover Police
Department’s Operations Division Commander and in his absence the responsibility of disseminating
information to the media and public falls upon the four Unit Commanders. This is primarily
accomplished by publishing information and photos on the department web page, which can be accessed
at www.doverpolice.org. The PIO also has regular contact with journalists from newspaper, radio, and
television and gives both telephone and in- person interviews. Additionally, the Public Information
Officer is often called upon to serve as emcee during departmental functions such as Promotions &
Awards Ceremonies and Retirement Dinners.

Criminal Investigation Unit
Detective Section
The Dover Police Criminal Investigation Section is tasked with the responsibility to investigate
the most serious crimes that occur within the City of Dover. This section also conducts financial and
identity theft investigations. In addition to these duties they are called upon to perform background
investigations on all civilian and police applicants who are being considered for employment.
In 2010, the seven detectives assigned to this section investigated a total of 2,367 complaints and
cleared 2,241. The detectives solved 74% of the robberies, 67% of the burglaries and 100 % of the rapes.
The Detective Section cleared 94.68% of all cases that they investigated. These clearance rates are
significantly higher than the national average. This speaks volumes for their investigative abilities.
In 2010, Detective Jennifer King attended the premier evidence collection school in the United
States, the National Forensic Academy. She graduated in November and became one of only four
graduates of the National Forensic Academy that currently work in the State of Delaware.
Renee Northam serves as the secretary in the Criminal Investigations Unit. She excels at her
position and has grown to become a key member of the Criminal Investigation Unit and the Dover Police
Department.

Crime Scene Investigation Unit
In August, 2010 the Crime Scene Investigation Section (CSI) was formed. Det. Larry Simpkiss,
who is a graduate of the National Forensic Academy, heads the unit and is assisted by Det. Jennifer King
who is a part time member. The purpose of the unit is to assist all members of Dover Police Department
in the collection of evidence using the latest and most innovative techniques of evidence collection. The
Section is currently in the infancy stages of development as we are gathering needed equipment/supplies
and building proper facilities to house the Section. It is expected to become fully operational in 2011.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of Dover’s Water and Wastewater Utilities are continuously working on various system upgrades and
capacity improvements to the infrastructure of both utilities. These projects take numerous hours of
engineering design and analysis in addition to project management efforts. This request for proposal was
designed to obtain engineering firms capable of performing engineering and project management services in
the appropriate areas for each utility. The City of Dover received nineteen (19) proposals which were reviewed
and analyzed. Five (5) firms were deemed non-responsive due to the omission of required information. The
fourteen (14) firms which submitted complete proposals, which are listed below, were evaluated based on
ability to provide services and may not represent the lowest price.
In light of the amount of projects, as well as the variety of complexity involved in each project, the Department’s
review team felt that it would best serve the utilities requirements to award three (3) companies this contract.
This would allow the Department the flexibility to choose a firm based on their availability and individual
expertise. Each firm was reviewed based upon the consideration of each function in the following areas:
Experience (demonstrated experience with similar projects and history of achieving highest and best
results among its peers)
Project Management (project organization and management, including staffing, management control
and sub-contractor utilization)
Staff (qualifications and utilization of the firm's employees assigned to the provision of services,
including previous work experience, technical management experience, education and training)
Costs (analysis of hourly rates and other costs for the various phases of services proposed)
Service Ability (firm’s ability to provide a full spectrum of engineering services including personnel,
managerial and other resources as and when required to meet the project’s objectives)
Location (geographical location in relation to the City of Dover)
Página 192
Local Standards (familiarity and experience with City of Dover Standards, Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT), Kent Conservation District (KCD), Delaware Natural Resources and
Environmental Control (DNREC) and Delaware Office of Drinking Water (ODW))
The total cost over the term of each contract will probably exceed $25,000; however, costs will be reflected in
the appropriate budget. Upon award, these consultants will be available to all City departments requiring Civil
Engineering based services. These services, as contained within the Scope of Work in the Request for
Proposals, include: Civil Design Engineering, Construction Engineering/Inspection, Project Administration,
General Civil Support (plan review, cost estimating, surveying, mapping, project conceptualization, etc.), Traffic
Engineering, Structural Engineering and Geological/Geotechnical Engineering or other related services.

TIMETABLE: Construction planned to start on March 7, 2011
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Authorize the City Manager to enter into a “Construction Manager at
Risk” contract with EDiS Company for construction administration and construction of the Dover Public
Library project for the maximum guaranteed price of $16,502,821.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
EDiS Company was selected as the Construction Management firm for the Dover Public Library project in July
2009. With the completion of the construction documents and bidding, the construction phase for the library
project is ready to start. This Council Action Form addresses the Construction and Construction Administration
Services with our Construction Manager, EDiS Company. At the November 22, 2010 meeting, City Council
approved a contract with EDiS Company for Construction and Construction Administration Services pending
final determination of the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
As explained at the November 22, 2010 meeting, the proposed contract is called a “Construction Manager at
Risk” contract. The construction of this project will be done by EDiS Company as the Construction Manager at
Risk. Under the Construction Manager at Risk agreement there is a maximum guaranteed price for the library
construction that has been determined now that all bids have been reviewed by EDiS. The proposed Guaranteed
Maximum Price for the construction is: $16,502,821 (Exhibit #1). The project is slightly below budget when
combined with all the other related project costs, including the revised cost of the exit road (Bid Pac A). The
total project costs are $20,631,252. This is $14,917 less than estimated at the November 22nd meeting. Exhibit
#2 shows the total project cost summary that was presented in November and a comparison to the current
proposal. There have been a number of changes throughout the cost summary that are broken down further in
Exhibit #3. Some of the notable changes are as follows: 1) As prices were refined costs moved from the
contingency in Other Construction Costs to Trade Costs; 2) Design cost in the original document overlooked the
Página 197
architect’s program confirmation fee spent early in the project; 3) Estimated costs of Furniture, Fixtures, and
Equipment was reduced; and 4) There is a new $21,303 owner’s contingency in Owner Administration that can
be used for contingency costs not related to construction such as site work which is in addition to the $485,802
construction contingency. If at the end of the project costs are under the Guaranteed Maximum Price or
budgeted contingency costs are not used, the savings goes to the City. If there are apparent savings during
construction, the City Manager may reinstate options to construct some features that have been removed from
the project through value engineering and present the to City Council for approval. It is important to note that
EDIS continues to work on cost savings with contractors. Any further cost savings will be reflected in a greater
owner’s contingency.
A number of additional value engineering options were exercised during the bidding administration phase to
bring the project within the scope of the budget (a complete list is a part of Exhibit 2); however none of the
value engineering options have affected the scope project, program space, or the LEED certification. Included
in the base budget is the fit out of the 1,200 s.f. multi-purpose rooms. Originally this was recommended as an
add alternate to be funded at a later date; however the importance of the multiple purpose room was elevated
with the recent announcement of the Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program (BTOP) Grant. The
federal grant requires that we have a job center & technical training room. The Technology Lab was going to
serve as an Interim Multiple-Purpose Room; therefore the Multi-Purpose Room must be fit out now. By
constructing the Multi-Purpose Room as part of the core construction, it will allow rental revenue to be received
earlier and allow more community programming. To fit the Multi-Purpose Room into the core construction
budget, the stone exterior ends of the building will be dropped from the project and a more cost effective brick
treatment will be constructed. This change was strongly endorsed by the Anchor Library Steering Committee
and was reviewed with the Historic District Commission who will review the alternate exterior treatment of the
exterior ends of the building.
Not included in the Guaranteed Maximum Price is the Teen Loft fit out. The Anchor Library Streering
Committee strongly urges City Council to consider adding this fit out back into the project as teen services are
an essential library component. EDIS advises that the Teen Loft fit out can be added for $169,080. This is
significantly less than the $338,775 estimate given to City Council in November and represents less than 1% of
the total project budget. The Steering Committee feels that this is an important part of the library programming,
particularly in light of the efforts to combat teen gangs and drugs. The Teen Loft will become a safe place for
Dover’s teens. The committee also feels that the Teen Loft is an important feature to promote for library fund
raising. In addition, fitting the Teen Loft after the library is built will cost more and will be disruptive to the
library operations. The Steering Committee feels that this added cost can be covered through the fund raising
campaign.
Attached is an updated Library Funding Plan (Exhibit # 4). It is important to note that since the presentation of
this plan to City Council in November an additional $257,761 has been raised. This is reflected in the reduction
of the construction loan line item.
We recommend that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contractual agreement with EDiS
in a preliminary estimated amount of $16,502,821 for the construction of the project and to consider the Teen
Loft request of the Library Steering Committee. The next approval that City Council will consider is the
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment which is currently budgeted at $938,800, but will not occur until late 2011
or early 2012.

FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Project # LB0901, Acct. # 147-1500-523.40-31.
The first $105,000 for this project was funded through Community Transportation Funds under
Agreement # 11-P-PROG-62. An additional $50,000 in Community Transportation Funds has also
been pledged to this project by various legislators. All project expenses that exceed the amount
committed and/or pledged by area legislators will be charged to Acct. # 147-1500-523.40-31.
Funding coming from the overall anchor library project funding sources
TIMETABLE: Contract is almost complete.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the revised final estimate & true-up costs for the payment of
construction improvements associated with Dover Public Library – Bid Pac A. The revised estimated
total cost for this phase of the project is $195,000.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Library Bid Pac A included work to construct the rear access drive, a retaining wall and other related
improvement for the new library site adjacent to City Hall. During the initial excavation for the road
and the retaining wall, a significant amount of unsuitable soils were discovered by the contractor,
Reybold Construction, Inc. No soil borings were conducted in this area of the site as part of site plan
process; therefore, these conditions were not anticipated to found. These expenses have been
negotiated as part of the change order process. The amount of unsuitable soils required a significant
amount of undercutting below the retaining wall foundation and the road bed. In addition, all of the
material that was removed from the site as a result of the undercutting operation was deemed
unsuitable for future use on the project. Therefore, a substantial amount of crushed concrete was
required to back fill under the access drive and behind the retaining wall. All of this additional work
has resulted in a substantial change order for this portion of the overall project. The original contract
amount for the access drive, retaining wall and related improvements was $130,000.
Construction is approximately 90% complete as of February 15, 2011. Attachment A outlines the
costs that have been incurred as a result of the change orders and some other inspection costs.
