REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on December 13, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Hogan presiding. Council members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. Leary, Mr. McGiffin, Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Salters, and Mrs. Williams. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Ms. Russell, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief Christiansen, Mr. DePrima, City Solicitor Rodriguez, Mrs. McDowell, and Mayor Carey. 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 is not in official session and cannot take formal action. Dr. Joel Halpern, Halpern Eye Associates, 885 S. Governors Avenue - Home - 4 Forest Hills Court, Dover, stated that Milton, Middletown, and Smyrna have downtown areas that are clean and pleasing to the eye. He indicated that downtown Dover has a problem maintaining an attractive appearance, noting that many storefront windows are “plastered” with old signs. In addition, Dr. Halpern felt that businesses such “69 Flavors” and tattoo parlors do not belong on the main street downtown. Dr. Halpern suggested that the City convert the existing Dover Public library into a “resource center” and purchase electronic books, which would occupy less space, instead of constructing a new library. He felt that if a new library were to be built, it should be located at the Bayard Hotel site as this would be more desirable than the low income housing that he stated is currently planned for that location. Dr. Halpern indicated that he is a City property owner and taxpayer but not a resident and stated that he would like the opportunity to vote for his City representatives. He suggested that the City Charter be reviewed to eliminate “taxation without representation.” The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mrs. Russell and unanimously carried. Council President Hogan requested that Item #12, Election of Officers - Robbins Hose Company - Year 2011 Fire Line Officers, be placed on the Consent Agenda. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 2010 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of November 22, 2010 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Leary and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 2 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-27 - REZONING OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1016 AND 1022 COLLEGE ROAD, OWNED BY GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of properties located at 1016 and 1022 College Road (south Side of College Road, west of the intersection with McKee Road), consisting of 1.0044+/- acres, owned by Grace Presbyterian Church. The properties are currently zoned CPO (Commercial/Professional Office) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office). The Tax Parcels are ED05-067.14-01-69.00 and ED05-067.14-01-69.01 and the Planning Reference is Z-10-08. Mr. Salters moved that the final reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2010-27 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 25, 2010.) 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 (Exhibit #1). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Council President Hogan declared the public hearing open. Youth Pastor Rick Barr of Grace Presbyterian Church stated that the ranch home on the property was previously a rental unit and the church would like to begin utilizing the space for Sunday school classes. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Hogan declared the public hearing closed. Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2010-27, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1016 AND 1022 COLLEGE ROAD. WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, it is deemed in the best interest of zoning and planning to change the permitted use of property described below from C-PO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: 1. That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designation from C-PO (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to IO (Institutional and Office Zone) on that property located at 1016 and 1022 College Road (on the south side of College Road, west of the intersection with McKee Road), consisting of 1.0044+/- acres (43,750 sq. ft.), owned by Grace Presbyterian Church. ADOPTED: DECEMBER 13, 2010 JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE AND SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 15, 2010 A Joint Meeting of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committees was held on November 15, 2010 with Chairman Leary presiding. OVERVIEW OF ISSUES RELATED TO GANG ACTIVITY Chief James Hosfelt, Dover Police Department Police Chief James Hosfelt introduced Sgt. Jason Pires, head of the Drugs, Vice, and Organized Gang Unit. Sgt. Pires is a 15-year veteran with the Dover Police Department and Vice President of the East Coast Gang Investigators. Sgt. Pires provided a Power Point Presentation on local and national gang history, local gang activity, and common gang identifiers and behaviors (attachment to Committee minutes). Responding to Mrs. Williams, Sgt. Pires stated that a team effort between the police, the Dover Housing Authority, and the community will be necessary to bring the City’s gang situation under control. He noted that key components to combating gangs include education, intervention, and suppression. Sgt. Pires advised members that combating gang activity is only one area of responsibility for his unit and that additional manpower would be helpful in this regard. Chief Hosfelt stated that since 2008 there have been 15 gang-related shootings, three (3) gang-related stabbings, and five (5) gang-related homicides. He stated that he would provide statistics on the percentage of total crime that can be attributed to gang activity. Dr. Jones asked if there is a program in place for the Police Department to work with schools and families. Chief Hosfelt stated that the Department continues to participate in the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program and is considering the Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) program. In addition, he noted that one (1) officer is assigned to Central Middle School and one (1) officer to Dover High School.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 4 Noting the photos of graffiti on public property, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, asked if it would be helpful to arrange for its removal as quickly as possible. Sgt. Pires stated that he has provided presentations to the Utility Department crews who are very helpful in reporting gang graffiti so that it can be removed expeditiously. Sgt. Pires emphasized the importance of the community’s willingness to report gang activity and to testify if necessary. He stressed the value of community policing in establishing relationships and trust between police officers and residents. Chief Hosfelt stated that there has been a 37% reduction in community meetings since the reduction in the Community Policing Unit. Ami Sebastian-Hauer, Dover Housing Authority (DHA) Ms. Ami Sebastian-Hauer, Director of the Dover Housing Authority (DHA), stated that the DHA was the first property manager to join the Dover Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. She noted that the DHA created defensible areas in all of their neighborhoods. Ms. Sebastian-Hauer stated that a great deal of crime, drug activity, and solicitation goes unreported. She stated that she felt the Community Policing Unit was essential to the safety of the residents of Dover. Ms. Sebastian-Hauer advised members that there are programs available that provide alternative activities, for example, a Boys and Girls Club at Simon Circle, the University of Fun at Manchester Square, and General Educational Development (GED) and Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs. Responding to Mrs. Russell, Ms. Sebastian-Hauer stated that the DHA has a resident services department and administers a family self-sufficiency program. She noted that able-bodied adults who are not working must either join a family self-sufficiency program, participate in job training, continue with their education, or perform community service. Ms. Sebastian-Hauer stated that many DHA residents work and rent is based on income. SCHEDULING OF FUTURE MEETINGS Due to conflicting schedules, Chairman Leary advised members that the next meeting would be scheduled for a date prior to Monday, December 6, 2010. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD (15 MINUTES) Mr. Clay Hammond stated that a group of concerned citizens are planning a town hall meeting for the African American community on Saturday, December 11, 2010 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. to brainstorm about what they need to do to save the children. Mrs. Russell stated that she did not feel that gang problems should be considered a “black thing” because the races co-mingle. She hoped that actions taken to resolve this situation would benefit all children. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Joint Legislative, Finance, and Administration and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committees Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 5 UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 22, 2010 The Utility Committee met on November 22, 2010 with Chairman Ruane presiding. Review of Utility Related CIP’s (Electric and Water/Wastewater) (August and September) Members were provided Project Tracking Reports, as of August 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, for the Utility (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reminded members that every fall and spring, the power plant is shut down so that maintenance can be performed. He stated that this was completed on November 22, 2010 and, during the shutdown, several projects, such as work on the cooling tower and other internal work, were accomplished. Mr. DePrima explained that these projects will be reflected in the next report. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. DePrima stated that testing was conducted during the shutdown and more maintenance will probably be required in order to extend the life of the plant. He indicated that additional engineering staff has been requested since the plant is managing more CIP projects than in previous years. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima indicated his satisfaction with the progress being made on the projects and that, with the exception of siting the pump for the new well for the Piney Point Well Project, there have been no complications. He stated that the Piney Point Well Project has been delayed while working with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on obtaining approvals. Mr. DePrima informed members that there has not been an urgent need for staff to move forward with this project because demand is down. He explained that most delays are caused by permitting agencies, reminding members that staff is still waiting on final approval from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) for the Route 13 Water Line Project. He indicated that he did not feel there was a need for Council to take any action regarding this project at this time. Mr. Snaman indicated that residents of Turnberry have relayed problems with stormwater drainage, which also affects the golf course. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that there was a substantial amount of work conducted this past summer to resolve the drainage problems. He assured members that he would contact the residents to determine if stormwater problems are still occurring in the area. The Committee recommended acceptance of the Utility Related CIP’s Reports. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. PACE/NAES Monthly Report (September 2010) The PACE/NAES Monthly Report for September 2010 was provided to members to allow the opportunity to monitor what is being sold in electric and the revenues received, which will give them a better understanding of any fluctuations and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 6 Referring to Page 4 with regard to the Monthly Budget Variance, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, explained that the unfavorable variance, in the amount of $249,504 reflects additional run time in September, which resulted in an increase in water and sewer expenses. In addition, he stated that contractor labor costs and boilers and auxiliary repairs were included. In response to Mr. Snaman regarding concerns about increases proposed by other major utility companies, Mr. DePrima stated that the confidence level in the City’s rates is high since the City is 85% hedged in the next fiscal year; therefore, only a 15% gap exists. He stated that he was not aware of the issues that are driving the price increases for other companies. Mr. Bonar requested that staff provide an annualized comparison to be presented to members during the January meeting. The Committee recommended acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Report for September 2010. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Update - National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit During their meeting of June 14, 2010, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided members with information regarding the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit. The information included details about the Dover NPDES permit and explained how it has been administered in the past and will be administered in the future. Members were also advised that the Planning Department would be responsible for making NPDES permit applications, monitoring progress, and filing reports with Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). Mrs. Townshend advised members that on June 2, 2010, the City received a notice of violation for non-compliance with the permit requirements from DNREC. The City was provided a list of corrective actions and was given until November 1, 2010 to comply. On June 16, 2010, the City submitted a revised Annual Report covering the period of September 1, 2007 through August 31,2008, and on October 27, 2010, the City submitted a report to DNREC of all corrective action to clear the notice of violation. Mrs. Townshend indicated that these actions included the following: 1) As part of the ABC = 123 downtown beautification project held on August 21, 2010, 67 storm drains were marked by volunteers in the Downtown Dover area. 2) A meeting was held with City departments to discuss the permit activities and the need to work them into regular work schedules and processes.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 7 3) Three (3) brochures were published for distribution (landscaping, home repairs, and stormwater management area maintenance). 4) 47 City employees attended a construction certification training held by DNREC. 5) Staff continued with street sweeping, leaf collection, and storm drain mapping. Mrs. Townshend noted that on November 16, 2010, the City received a letter from DNREC indicating that the notice of violation was cleared. She stated that the next step would be to work with DNREC to close out the existing permit and to authorize a renewed five (5) year permit, which she hoped to obtain by July 1, 2011. She noted that DNREC has indicated that the new permit will require a retrofit plan; therefore, DNREC will be looking for stormwater retrofits in the City. Mrs. Townshend explained that the City has developed a plan to implement retrofitting; however, she advised members that this will require funding and grants will be pursued for this purpose. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff has discussed the possibility of including permitting requirements in the Dover Code for the expansion of driveways. She stated that currently lot coverage is addressed in the Zoning Ordinance; however, a permit is not required unless there is a building and there are no setback requirements for driveways. She anticipated that staff will be presenting related ordinance amendments in the spring. Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding reporting requirements for sewer and stormwater overflows to Kent County and DNREC, Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, stated that City staff maintains records of the amount of water used for sewer jetting, the dumping station at Schutte Park, etc. He explained that any type of wastewater spill greater than a specified amount (which he believed to be 500 gallons) must be reported. He stated that in recent discussions DNREC indicated that there may be a requirement to report every and any type of spill in the future. In regard to vehicles, hydraulic spills in excess of five (5) gallons must be reported. Mr. Koenig assured members that all spills are reported as required. Mr. Bonar suggested that consideration be given to the possibility of using pervious paving and channelization of stormwater. He explained that curb lines can be directed to cause water to flow into the trees rather than the stormwater runoff. Mr. Bonar also suggested the possibility of obtaining beautification and/or federal funding for these projects. Responding, Mrs. Townshend advised members that in new housing developments, the first practice is to create channelization of stormwater, which may be something that a retrofit plan could address. In terms of pervious pavement, she noted that maintenance is critical. If not properly maintained, the pavement will clog and no longer function, which causes drainage problems. Mr. Bonar stated that there are products on the market that would not only enhance stormwater runoff and help prevent it from draining into the St. Jones River, but also aid in snow removal by expediting melting. Mrs. Townshend suggested the possibility of obtaining funding through DNREC for a demonstration project in the City.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 8 Mr. Bonar noted that members of Council had the opportunity to review the charrette plan that was developed and encouraged staff to include stormwater runoff and management solutions that are more natural in an attempt to reduce runoff in the downtown area. Update - Recycling and Yard Waste Related Legislation Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reported that the State of Delaware has developed draft guidelines and an application for the recycling grant. He anticipated that the Recycling Committee will finalize the regulations and guidelines by the first of the year and that there will be a succession of applications. Mr. DePrima noted that the State’s priority this year, as stated in the legislation, is to focus not only on multi-family and single-family streams but also on bars and restaurants. He advised members that the City intends to apply retroactively for a grant for some of the expenses incurred from the purchase of recycling cans as well as for marketing and public relations funds to promote recycling and the yard waste ban. He stated that staff has also been discussing the possibility of purchasing an industrial-sized chipper and may apply for grant monies for this expense. Mr. DePrima stated that the Recycling Committee has not addressed rebates for recycling efficiencies; however, he has been assured that this will be considered. The projection is that several of the private haulers that qualify for the grants will not apply since there is a “string” attached, which states that if a grant is awarded, recycling rates cannot be increased. He assured members that the rate increase restriction would not apply to the 2% escalator included in the City’s contract and it is permitted to pass this escalator on to the customers. In regards to legislation related to yard waste, Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that as of January 1, 2011, there will be a “soft” ban at the landfill which will require the City to separate yard waste. He stated that yard waste will be disposed of at a separate location at the landfill and will not be disposed of on the “face” of the landfill as is regular municipal solid waste. At first the fee for yard waste will be the same as municipal solid waste; however, Mr. Koenig stated that it is hoped that, as the ban is implemented, there will be consideration of a hauling rate for yard waste, since it is essentially biodegradable material such as trees, branches, grass, etc. He noted that, according to the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, the ban will allow each solid waste load to contain up to 10% yard waste. Referring to implementation of this legislation in the City of Dover, Mr. Koenig stated that Kent County is currently seeking input from residents to determine if they want yard waste collection. It was his feeling that the City will have to provide yard waste collection services to residents. He noted that most communities that provide recycling services on an every-other-week basis, as the City does, provide the yard waste collection services on the odd weeks, utilizing a separate container. He indicated that this approach will be reviewed by staff and projected that a recommendation will be forthcoming in January. Mr. Koenig noted that the yard waste collection would only be necessary from mid-March to mid-November, since very little yard waste is generated over the winter months. He stated that the City would maintain the leaf collection system and noted that the City already provides services that fit under the umbrella of a yard waste system. He explained that if a tree is cut down and put out for disposal, it typically is not taken to the landfill but rather to another facility that grinds and mulches.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 9 Mr. Koenig stressed the importance of meeting the guidelines and needs of the landfill in order to reduce the City’s costs. He noted that the container system seems to be the most efficient and low cost system since it allows customers to put the material in containers and not in bags that must be re-opened to demonstrate that they do not contain municipal solid waste. Mr. Koenig indicated that the City’s current recycling provider had expressed an interest in providing curbside yard waste collection on an every-other-week basis but had requested additional details. He stated that staff will provide a recommendation to the Committee, including the costs associated with contracting the services out versus providing the services in-house, after meeting with the contractor. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 22, 2010 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on November 22, 2010 with Chairman Leary presiding. Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of the 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 are 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 Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments (Deferred by Committee on November 8, 2010) During their meeting of November 8, 2010, members considered Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments, which would incorporate the audited budget balances of all funds and accounts. Members deferred action until the next Committee meeting, with the understanding that the City Manager would present a plan to address the expenditures required to meet the reduced revenue with the proposed ordinance amendment. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reminded members that during their previous meeting, members relayed concerns regarding the projection of reduced transfer tax receipts. He reminded members that the City originally budgeted $1M for transfer tax and staff projected receipt of $650,000; therefore, staff was directed to present a plan to reduce expenses by $350,000 to address the reduced revenue. Mr. DePrima advised members that following the meeting, the City received approximately $640,000 (City Clerk’s Office Note: Actual amount received was $643,894) in transfer taxes through the sale of several large apartment buildings (Woodcrest, Mapleton Square, and Country Village). He stated that this negated the need to reduce expenses; however, he stated that staff conducted the exercise of reducing expenses. Mr. DePrima reviewed details regarding the Estimated Expenditure

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 10 Reductions as of November 10, 2010 (attachment to Committee minutes) that were developed by staff. Utilizing the $650,000 projection and including the additional $640,000 received, he stated that actual transfer tax revenues would be approximately $1.3M, which is $300,000 more than the original budgeted amount of $1M. Mr. DePrima suggested that members approve Proposed Ordinance #2010-30, as presented by staff, with the stipulation that any corrections would be accomplished during the mid-year review. He stated that, alternatively, members could amend the ordinance by including the additional transfer tax revenues in the amount of $640,000. Mr. McGiffin indicated his preference that these types of issues be considered during the mid-year budget review. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments, as presented, and that any necessary changes be considered during the mid-year budget review. The motion was seconded by Dr. Jones. As a result of the new information presented by staff, Mr. Ruane relayed his concurrence; however, he requested further review of the Electric Revenue Fund. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that staff considered the possibility of a power cost adjustment and, although staff had prepared documentation, this information was not readily available. Staff requested that members move forward to the remaining agenda item and then return to consideration of this matter. The Committee tabled further discussion on this matter until later in the meeting, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried. Discussion - Amendments to Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-2 - Weapons Generally, Subsection (c) - Discharge At the request of Councilman David Bonar, City Solicitor Nicholas Rodriguez reviewed Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-2 - Weapons Generally, Subsection (c) - Discharge, of the City of Dover Code of Ordinances. Members were provided an opinion submitted by City Solicitor Rodriguez suggesting that Section 70-2 is in violation of State law (22 Del. C. Sec. 111) and may have automatically been repealed. City Solicitor Rodriguez recommended that the ordinance be completely re-drafted should the City opt to regulate the discharge of firearms within City limits. Police Chief Hosfelt indicated no objection to the recommendation submitted by City Solicitor Rodriguez. Mr. Bonar reminded members that this issue developed as a result of recent discussions regarding shootings involving gang members in the City of Dover. While conducting research, it was discovered that the City’s ordinance appeared to be in violation of State law, which City Solicitor Rodriguez confirmed. Mr. Bonar requested that members direct the City Solicitor to prepare an ordinance amendment for presentation for a First Reading at the January meeting.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 11 In reviewing the opinion provided by City Solicitor Rodriguez, Mr. McGiffin suggested that, in addition to mirroring the State law, the City should also include an amendment to regulate discharge of weapons. Responding, Police Chief Hosfelt indicated his concurrence. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend that the City Solicitor be directed to draft an ordinance amendment to bring the City into compliance with State law regarding weapons and to address the issue of discharging a weapon within the City. The motion was seconded by Dr. Jones. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Police Chief Hosfelt indicated that when there are violations of Section 70-2 of the Dover Code, citations that are issued refer to the State law rather than City Code and typically involve possession of a deadly weapon. At the request of Mr. Ruane, Police Chief Hosfelt stated that the Police Department staff would review legislation from other jurisdictions to assist in developing an ordinance amendment regarding “weapons generally.” In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Leary noted that, typically, the procedure for this type of request would be for the City Solicitor to draft an ordinance amendment. He felt assured that the Police Chief would review the proposed amendment prior to its submission to the Committee for consideration. Mr. McGiffin noted that the City’s Ordinance references other weapons, such as a “slingshot,” “peashooter,” “beany,” “bow and arrow,” etc., and explained that the intent of his motion was strictly to address the issue of firearms and discharging firearms, without limiting the City’s enforcement of the ordinance with respect to other weapons. The Committee recommended that the City Solicitor be directed to draft an ordinance amendment to bring the City into compliance with State law regarding weapons and to address the issue of discharging a weapon within the City. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments (Tabled Earlier in the Meeting) The Committee removed consideration of Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments from the table. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a report provided to members entitled “Calculation of Potential PCA Credit for January 2011 through June 2011” (Attachment #2 to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee minutes of November 22, 2010). Responding to Mr. Leary, Mr. DePrima indicated that Power Cost Adjustments (PCAs) are typically determined on an annual basis. Mrs. Teresa Tieman, Senior City Administrator, assured members that the PCA credit can be easily adjusted in the system. Should members choose to approve the adjustment, she requested that the motion include the provision that the adjustments be made “on or after January 1st.”

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 12 Mr. Ruane noted that there have been other instances when the City has made adjustments and that, because the City is hedged at 85%, the cost of service is likely to be reduced in 2011 and 2012. Given the necessary budget increases, he felt the City’s willingness to make adjustments and give back to the customers would demonstrate good faith to the citizens and rate payers. He encouraged members to recommend approval of a PCA, as presented by staff. Council President Hogan relayed his opposition to making such decisions at the current time, when only a few months of data is available, and suggested that any action be delayed until the mid-year budget review. Concurring, Mr. McGiffin stated his reluctance to make budgetary decisions in a piecemeal fashion and his preference to consider this in the context of the mid-year budget review. The Committee recommended approval of Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments, as presented, and that any necessary changes be considered during the mid-year review. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima stated that the $1.4M of the PCA would remain in the Electric Fund and not be transferred to the General Fund. Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to approve Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments, as presented, and that any necessary changes be considered during the mid-year review. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar. Mr. Ruane moved to amend Proposed Ordinance #2010-30, Budget Amendments, to reallocate $1,451,589 (Prior Year Balance), shown on Line 197 (Page 6 of 12), to Line 199 on the same page (Purchase Power Adjustment) for the purpose of providing an additional PCA credit to all rates and classes beginning January 1, 2011 for a six (6) month period. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters. Mrs. Russell inquired if customers would object to a rate increase at the conclusion of the six (6) month period. Mr. Ruane stated that the budget ordinance applies only to a six (6) month period; therefore, the PCA would be limited to that timeframe. Referring to Page 5 of the Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Report which was reviewed by the Utility Committee earlier in the evening, Mr. Ruane advised members that diminishing power costs are projected. As a result, it was his feeling that the City could sustain the PCA beyond the initial six (6) month period. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that a seven percent (7%) reduction in the cost of power supply is projected for next year. He noted that this projection is fairly reliable since costs are 85% hedged; therefore, 85% of the power cost for next year has already been purchased. Mr. DePrima advised members that a seven percent (7%) reduction translates to just over $5M. Noting that Mr. Ruane recommended the addition of $1.4M to the PCA for the next six (6) months, Mr. DePrima stated that $2.8M would be necessary to sustain the same PCA for a full year. He indicated that it appears there will be sufficient power supply savings next year to sustain and possibly increase the PCA, provided there are no unanticipated expenses.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 13 Mr. Leary advised members that, due to possible variables, the Committee felt that a PCA should be considered in the normal fashion during the mid-year review. Mrs. Williams noted that The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) announced that they do not plan to increase the outflow of crude oil and that the price per barrel continues to increase. Mr. DePrima stated that power markets are not related to the oil market; however, they are related to the natural gas market. Noting that the City is 85% hedged, Mrs. Williams inquired where and how the other 15% would be purchased and what percentage of purchases would be hedged in subsequent years. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that the City attempts to hedge 85% each year and keep the remaining 15% open in order to shape purchases to the exact amount needed, according to the curve of the power supply. He explained that the 15% is purchased either “on demand” or in the “day ahead” market. Mr. DePrima advised members that less is hedged in the out-years (76% in the second year, 40% in the third year, and 9% in the fourth year); therefore, those numbers are less reliable and confidence in the projection is lower. Mr. McGiffin felt it would be more appropriate to consider a PCA during the mid-year review. He indicated that he would enthusiastically support a PCA at that time if it is justified by the numbers. Mr. Ruane reminded members that January is mid-year based on the City’s fiscal year. Mr. Ruane noted that the “Calculation of Potential PCA Credit for January 2011 through June 2011” indicates a 3.4% increase over the amount provided this year. He also reminded members that a PCA is routinely provided by Council when possible and that, in 2007, the cost per kWh for power supply and generation increased from .054 to .089 and the City implemented an overall rate increase of approximately 31% to cover the increase. Mr. Ruane stated that, at that time, Council promised to use the Rate Stabilization Fund to offset the increase when there were unallocated funds in the budget. He noted that currently $1.4M should be returned to the ratepayers. Mr. Ruane requested that the report entitled “Estimated Savings from Proposed PCA presented 11/22/10 as of 12/3/10” (Exhibit #2), which provides the estimated savings for the various customer classes, be included in the record. On a call for the question, the motion to amend Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments, so that $1,451,589 (Prior Year Balance), shown on Line 197 (page 6 of 12), is reallocated to Line 199 on the same page (Purchase Power Adjustment) for the purpose of providing an additional Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) credit to all rates and classes beginning January 1, 2011 for a six (6) month period, failed by a roll call vote of three (3) yes (Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Salters, and Mr. Ruane) and six (6) no (Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Leary, Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Williams, and Mr. Hogan). The motion for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to approve Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments, as presented, and that any necessary changes be considered during the mid-year review was carried by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes (Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Russell, Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Leary, Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Salters, and Mr. Hogan) and one (1) no (Mr. Ruane).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 14 Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 24, 2010 The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met on November 24, 2010 with Chairwoman Williams presiding. PRESENTATION OF SNOW REMOVAL PLAN FOR 2010/2011 Members were provided with Procedures for Weather Related Emergencies, as included in the City of Dover 2010/2011 Public Services Emergency Plan. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the City has refurbished a 1992 truck from the current fleet and converted it by installing a plow and salter/sander. He stated that, typically, salters and sanders must be loaded in advance of a storm; however, this truck will be available for immediate use. In addition, Mr. DePrima reminded members that during the snow storm in February, the City had to lend vehicles to the Police Department since their patrol vehicles did not operate well in the snow; however, the Police Department has now purchased two (2) 4-wheel drive vehicles. He stated that all of the City’s plows and trucks have been taken to the Fleet Maintenance Shop for renovation and maintenance to assure they are prepared for emergency weather situations. Mr. DePrima advised members that as a result of the snow storms that occurred earlier this year, a meeting with all department heads was held to determine how the City could better prepare for snow emergencies. He noted that several recommendations were implemented and have been incorporated into the Snow Removal Plan (Attachment #1 to the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Minutes of November 24, 2010). Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, reviewed the Procedures for Weather Related Emergencies and noted that the Plan has been posted as public information on the City’s Website (with personal information removed). He advised members that amendments to the Plan were noted in red text. Mr. Koenig reviewed a map of snow routes, which was provided to members. Referring to the Snow Emergency Routes, Mr. Bonar suggested the possibility of the City contacting property owners and realtors to notify tenants who live along snow emergency routes of the requirement to remove vehicles. He also suggested that such a reminder be included on the bottom of City electric bills. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that there has been discussion related to evaluating the emergency call system to determine if it could identify those who reside along snow emergency routes. Although the City has not notified realtors in the past, he relayed no objections to this suggestion. From her experience working in the call center during the snow storms, Mrs. Williams advised members that frequent complaints were received from residents whose driveways were “plowed in” by the City and questioned if the City could notify residents to anticipate this.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 15 Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that information could be posted explaining that the City does not conduct private snow removal and that mailboxes and driveways are always obstructed in the course of plowing. Mr. DePrima explained that during heavy snow storms, the center of the roadway is typically plowed first and residents often clear their driveways at that time. City staff then returns to plow the sides of the roadway, which results in snow being pushed into residents’ driveways. He stated that during light snowfalls, the City plows the center of the roadway to open the road for two-lane traffic and generally the remaining snow on the sides melts on its own. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that if staff is made aware of rumors circulating regarding snow removal, they can respond to them immediately and notify the public of the actions being taken by the City. Mr. Bonar commended staff on the improvements made to the Snow Removal Plan and noted that the biggest priority for citizens earlier this year was to “get out” and drive on the roadways, which hindered the City’s snow plowing efforts. He encouraged the Mayor to notify the Police Department that there should be a zero tolerance policy for driving when a snow emergency is in effect and that tickets should be issued to those who do not refrain from driving. Mayor Carey advised members that the State of Delaware has developed a zero tolerance policy in this regard and he requested the City Solicitor to review this policy. He indicated that, upon approval, this information will be made available on the State and City websites. Responding to Mr. Harmon, Mr. Koenig stated that the City has no control over price gouging by private, “out of town” plowers, other than to assure that these individuals have the required contractor licenses; however, this “check and balance” does not occur when the City is under full snow operations. He stated that often the City is not made aware of these situations until the involved individual has left the area. In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. DePrima stated that the Plan is an administrative document and does not require any further action by the Committee or Council. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. MONTHLY REPORTS - OCTOBER 2010 By motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Leary, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: Budget Report Chief of Police Report City Assessor’s Report City Manager's Report City Planner’s Report Dover Fire Department Report

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 16 CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP) REPORT FOR OCTOBER 2010 By motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Leary, the Monthly Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Report for October 2010 was accepted by consent agenda. AMENDMENT TO 2010 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ACTION PLAN - PROPOSED RESOLUTION #2010-16 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the City of Dover is entitled to funds through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City receives program income through the payoff of loans from the CDBG Program and uncommitted activities, and this program income is reinvested in program activities. Mrs. Townshend stated that Proposed Resolution #2010-16 would allocate unanticipated program income in the amount of $25,087 to projects that were already funded during the fiscal year. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that the resultant savings to the General Fund would not be known until later in the fiscal year. She noted that the CDBG program allows for 20% of the allocation and program income to be used for program administration, which does not fully pay for administrative costs. Mrs. Townshend did not anticipate that receipt of the funds would increase the cost of administration. By motion of Mrs. Russell, seconded by Mr. Bonar and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Resolution #2010-16, as follows: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2010 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT WHEREAS, the City of Dover is entitled to funds through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant program; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover receives program income through the payoff of loans from the Community Development Block Grant Program and uncommitted activities, and this program income is reinvested in the program activities; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover received unanticipated program income in the amount of $25,087 for the purpose of amending the 2010 Action Plan, in accordance with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines, that serves as the primary planning document for identifying and meeting the housing and community development needs for the low and moderate income residents of Dover; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover is in favor of utilizing the Community Development Block Grant funds for the community development purposes in accordance with the National Community Development objectives of benefiting low and moderate income families, eliminating slums and blight, and meeting other community development objectives; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 17 WHEREAS, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development requires the City of Dover to submit a Consolidated Plan and an Action Plan for Application for Federal Assistance including the proposed use of funds and including certain certifications and policies to obtain its $296,526 entitlement; and use of $25,087 in program income for eligible activities; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER APPROVE THE amendment to the 2010 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan to allocate program income in the amount of $25,087 and authorize its forwarding to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for consideration. ADOPTED: DECEMBER 13, 2010 SETTLEMENT OF WARD TRANSFORMER SUIT Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reminded members that the City of Dover was recently sued because the City contracted with Ward Transformer for the repair and disposal of transformers in the 1970s and 1980s. He stated that Ward Transformer was a company based in Raleigh, North Carolina that repaired, rebuilt, and disposed of electric transformers for their client companies. Mr. DePrima noted that Ward Transformer was irresponsible in the handling of the transformers and, as a result, their site and a neighboring property (known as Estes Trucking Site) were significantly polluted with Polychlorinatead Biphenyl (PCB). He indicated that, under the Superfund law, any company that sent material to the site as customers of Ward Transformer could be held responsible for cleanup costs. Mr. DePrima stated that Consolidated Coal Company, Carolina Power and Light Company, and PCS Phosphate Company were initially found to be the responsible parties and were ordered to perform the cleanup; however, as allowed under the Superfund law, these companies were permitted to sue other users of the facility to help pay the cleanup costs. Mr. DePrima explained that the initial responsible parties have spent approximately $70 million dollars in cleanup and the estimated final cost will be less than $78 million. He stated that this is considered to be a well documented and validated estimate. Mr. DePrima stated that there is documented evidence that the City of Dover sent at least six (6) transformers to the site for repair; therefore, the City of Dover was sued in addition to 115 other parties. Mr. DePrima explained that, given the complexity of the case, the judge assigned, and the evidence of the City’s clear use of the Ward site, the City attorney advised to strongly consider a settlement offer of $279,640. He noted that this amount was based on the number of transformer points assigned to the City (2.9), which was then used to calculate the City’s fractional share (0.004160688) of the $78 million cleanup cost. Mr. DePrima stated that if the cost exceeds $78 million, the City will have to pay an additional amount based on its fractional share. He noted that there are two (2) other areas (OU1 & OU2) polluted by the Ward site that are not included in this settlement. Mr. DePrima explained that these areas are offsite and include adjacent river and lake beds that have been polluted from runoff. He stated that the estimated cost of this additional cleanup is $12 million; however, to date, the City has not been brought into any suits related to this area. Mr. DePrima stated that the City has a contingency reserve in the Electric Fund specifically set up for one-time, nonrecurring expenses, with $1,071,054 currently in the account. He explained that the City’s existing policy requires that funds expended from this account be replenished within three

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 18 (3) years. Mr. DePrima noted that if funds from this account were utilized for the settlement, they could be replenished during the mid-year budget review. He stated that the legal expenses involved in the suit, to date, total $21,429.89 and suggested that these expenses also be paid from the contingency fund. Mr. Leary moved to authorize the City Manager to sign a settlement agreement in the Ward Transformer suit in the amount of $279,640, with funds for this settlement and associated legal costs to come from the Electric Contingency Fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that the audited financial statements are available in February. Mrs. Williams requested that the mid-year review be held before the end of February. EVALUATION OF BIDS - BAYARD AVENUE PIPE MATERIALS - WATER QUALITY Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that as part of the proposed Water Quality Improvements to the City of Dover’s water system, the Public Utilities Department is upgrading the existing water main for Bayard Avenue, Greenhill Road, and Bayard Avenue Alley. He indicated that this bid will supply the major water line materials to complete this portion of the project. Subsequent bids will include fill material (stone, select backfill, etc.), paving materials/contractor, and a jack and bore operation to be installed by a contractor. Mr. DePrima noted that this activity is being performed as identified in the Utilities Water Quality Evaluation performed on the water system and will be installed by the Public Utilities Construction Crew. Mr. DePrima stated that bids were advertised for according to City Policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent (Bid #11-0030DPU) and that the City received three (3) bid responses. He noted that, due to Local Vendor Preference, the bid submitted by Dover Plumbing Supply was reduced by 3% to $216,587.40, making it the lowest priced bid. Staff recommended awarding the bid to Dover Plumbing Supply, for the amount of $223,285.98. Mr. Ruane moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. EVALUATION OF BIDS - BAYARD AVENUE FILL MATERIALS - WATER QUALITY Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, noted that as part of the proposed Water Quality Improvements to the City of Dover’s water system, the Public Utilities Department is upgrading the existing water main for Bayard Avenue, Greenhill Road, and Bayard Avenue Alley. He indicated that this bid will supply the fill material (stone, select backfill, etc.) to complete this portion of the project. Subsequent bids will include paving materials/contractor, major water line materials and a jack and bore operation to be installed by a contractor. Mr. DePrima noted that his activity is being performed as identified in the Utilities Water Quality Evaluation performed on the water system and will be installed by the Public Utilities Construction Crew.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 19 Mr. DePrima stated that bids were advertised for according to City Policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent (Bid #11-0029DPU) and that the City received three (3) bid responses; however, one (1) of the bids was deemed non-responsive, as the bidder did not supply pricing for all the items. Staff recommended awarding the bid to the lowest bidder, Pioneer Materials, for the amount of $41,307.50. Mr. Ruane moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ELECTION OF OFFICERS - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY - YEAR 2011 FIRE LINE OFFICERS The Fire Line Officers of the Robbins Hose Company are elected annually on the third Monday of November. Members were provided the results from the November 15, 2010 Robbins Hose Company Election for consideration as follows: Fire Chief - Jack Fortney (Unopposed) Deputy Fire Chief - Patrick West (Unopposed) First Assistant Fire Chief - David Carey Second Assistant Fire Chief - Michael O’Connor, Jr. (Unopposed) Third Assistant Fire Chief - Joseph Simmons Fourth Assistant Fire Chief - Carl Troubetaris, Sr. First Fire Line Captain - David Knight Second Fire Line Captain - Mark Hall By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Fire Line Officers for Robbins Hose Company for the Year 2011 as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. REZONING REQUEST/FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-31 - 293 SAULSBURY ROAD, OWNED BY F & B PROPERTIES A request was received to rezone property located at 293 Saulsbury Road, consisting of 3.64+/- acres, owned by F & B Properties. The property is currently zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the requested zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) 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. (The Tax Parcel is ED05-076.11-01-43.00-000 and the Planning Reference is Z-11-01.) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the property is currently occupied by a trucking company and the proposed use is a bank, and a gas station with a convenience store. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that any remediation necessary due to the trucking company use would be the property owner’s responsibility. Mr. Salters stated that some residents in his district have objected to the proposed use and he strenuously objected to situating a gas station so close to the residents of Simon Circle. He recommended that a wide buffer be provided if a gas station is located on the property.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 20 Prior to amending the zoning ordinances and zoning map of the City of Dover, a public hearing is required. By motion of Dr. McGlumphy, seconded by Mr. Bonar, and with Mr. Salters voting no, Council referred the request to the Planning Commission for January 18, 2011 and set a Public Hearing for February 14, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2010-31 as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 293 SAULSBURY ROAD. FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2010-30 - BUDGET AMENDMENTS Council President Hogan reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance are available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or can be obtained from the City Clerk's Office. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting of January 10, 2011. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the Ordinance Amendment as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: ‚ Proposed Ordinance #2010-30 - Budget Amendments COUNCIL MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS Council President Hogan reminded members that all Council and Committee meetings for the week of December 27, 2010 have been cancelled due to the holidays. Council President Hogan noted that this was the last meeting for Fire Chief Sean Christiansen and that the new Chief, Jack Fortney, would be assuming office in January. Mr. Ruane noted that when Chief Christiansen began as Fire Chief, the relationship between City Council and the Fire Department was strained and that the Chief made a “terrific effort” to improve the relationship. He stated that Chief Christiansen has innovatively involved Council members directly by training them and showing them what it is really like to be in a burning building. Mr. Ruane stated that Council appreciates and commends Chief Christiansen for his hard work. Mr. Salters wished the citizens of Dover a Merry Christmas. Mr. McGiffin announced that Santa Claus would be traveling with the Dover Fire Department on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. and Saturday afternoon. He noted that more information was available at www.DoverFire.org.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 21 Mr. Bonar stated that Fire Chief Christiansen exemplifies what is right about the volunteer fire service in Delaware and that, historically, the fire service has been handed down from grandfather, to father, to son. He noted that it is very difficult in today’s economy for employers to volunteer the time necessary to staff the fire service and that volunteers save the City many tax dollars by providing the fire service. Mrs. Russell announced that there would be a holiday party for youth on Saturday, December 18, 2010 at Whatcoat Church on Saulsbury Road from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Dr. McGlumphy thanked Chief Christiansen for his service and wished incoming Chief Fortney the best. By unanimous consent, the Meeting Adjourned at 8:26 P.M. TRACI A. McDOWELL CITY CLERK All orders, ordinances, and resolutions adopted by City Council during their Regular Meeting of December 13, 2010, are hereby approved. CARLETON E. CAREY, SR. MAYOR /TM S:\ClerksOffice\Agendas&Minutes\Council-Minutes\2005\08-22-2005 Council.wpd Exhibits Attached to Original Minutes and File Copy Exhibit #1 - Petition to Amend Zoning District for Properties located at 1016 and 1022 College Road Exhibit #2 - “Estimated Savings from Proposed PCA presented 11/22/10 as of 12/3/10”

PETITION TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT Public Hearing before the Dover City Council January 10, 2011 Proposed Zoning Change: Amendment to Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 14 – Limited Central Commercial Zone (C-2A) and Section 30 – Recreational and Open Space Zone (ROS), to add new uses. Summary of Amendment: The proposed amendment to the C-2A zone is brought forward to allow parking lots and structures as principal uses within the C-2A zone, on suitably landscaped lots and subject to Conditional Use review by the Planning Commission. This amendment is brought forward to support the notion of district or regional parking in the downtown area, in accordance with the recommendations of the recent charette process. Additionally, land acquired by the State of Delaware to construct parking for the Kent County Courthouse is zoned C-2A. This would ensure that the parking lot could be constructed without requiring rezoning of the site. The language proposed mirrors that in the C-2 (Central Commercial) zone. In order to support planning for regional parking, rather than site-by-site parking, in the downtown area, the Zoning Ordinance will need to accommodate parking as a principal use. The proposed amendment to the ROS zone is brought forward in response to concerns brought forward by Holy Cross Cemetery that the provisions of the newly created ROS zone would preclude expansion of the cemetery and construction of new mausoleums within 30 feet of the property lines. As initially drafted by staff, the proposed ordinance added cemeteries as a permitted use within the ROS zone and exempted interment structures from setback requirements. Upon review by the Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee, concern was expressed regarding the potential for a mausoleum to be constructed near property lines, and the Committee removed the language that would exempt interment structures from the 30-foot setback requirement. Following public testimony presented on behalf of Holy Cross Cemetery before the Planning Commission on December 20, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended approval of an amendment to exempt interment structures from the setback, except where abutting a residential use or presenting site distance issues at an intersection. Planning Commission Recommendation: Following a public hearing on December 20, 2010, where public testimony was presented requesting that interment structures be exempt from the 30-foot setback from property lines, the Planning Commission

Limited Central Commercial Zone and to add cemeteries as a permitted use within the ROS zoning district by adding subsection 30.29 to Article 3, Section 30. Recreational and Open Space Zone (ROS). Ordinance # 2010-28. Representative: Staff. Mrs. Townshend provided an overview of the proposed text amendments. Colonel Welsh questioned with the regards to the situation that pertains to Holy Cross, is that part of this rezoning amendment? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated that during the public hearing you will be hearing from someone on behalf of Holy Cross Cemetery because one of the provisions that they specifically wanted in this amendment has come out which relates to the setbacks. Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing. Mr. Len Dornberger – 313 Pebble Valley Place – Holy Cross Cemetery Administrator – Stated that accompanying him this evening is Mr. Don Cruise, Cemetery Chairman and Mr. Jim Flood, member of the Cemetery Committee. We are here tonight to represent our Pastor Monsignor Daniel McGlynn and the 3,500 families of Holy Cross perish. We are here to discuss the impact of rezoning the Holy Cross Cemetery to ROS (Recreational and Open Space) that occurred earlier this year. He has met with Mrs. Townshend a few months ago to understand how the rezoning might impact their future plans, specifically in regards to the erection of mausoleums within the cemetery and the thirty (30) foot setback restriction. Under the current code, they cannot erect any structure within thirty (30) feet of the property line and he would like to explain the problem that creates for them. He would first discuss their 140 year old cemetery which is the only Catholic cemetery serving Kent County. A map was displayed showing the cemetery that is a parcel of about three (3) acres located in north Dover and bordered on all four sides by City streets. The north end of the cemetery is bordered by William Street and across from William Street is a residential district. The west side of the cemetery is bordered by Queen Street and across the street is the Wesley College stadium. On the south side is Clara Street and across the street from the cemetery is the National Guard Armory. On the east side is North New Street and across the street from the cemetery there is the North Governors Avenue Apartment Complex. Like most cemetery’s we are running out of ground space and in our case, we have no way to expand the current cemetery because of the street limitations. A few years ago plans were developed to build mausoleums to address us running out of space. The first phase was completed in the spring of last year 2009 and what we have is the first mausoleum of two which is within the thirty (30) feet setback restriction currently. The second phase of their large mausoleum plan is to build a twin mausoleum directly adjacent to the first one and again it would be within the thirty (30) feet setback restriction that is currently in place. The Phase II mausoleum building is not yet scheduled to be built; however, we have begun the planning process for a Phase III mausoleum which would be much smaller and only for cremated remains. We envision this small mausoleum being built close to the fence in the northeast corner of the cemetery on the corner of William and New Streets and within the thirty (30) feet

MI-10-18 – Proposed Amendments to Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Sections 14 and 30 Report to City Council – January 10, 2011 Page 4 of 4 setback line. The zoning language, as it currently stands, creates two problems for them. Number one, we cannot complete Phase II (the twin mausoleums as shown). Second, the numerous used and unused plots that are currently sold and scattered throughout our cemetery in areas that would appear to be unused at the current time and are perhaps sold, eats up contiguous space in the cemetery and this limits our options to place a mausoleum somewhere within the center area of the cemetery and still adhere to the thirty (30) foot restrictions that we have in place today. Mr. Hemmig closed the public hearing after seeing no one else wishing to speak. Mr. Baldwin questioned if there would be a height restriction on the mausoleum. Responding to Mr. Baldwin, Mrs. Townshend stated that there is no height restriction on mausoleums; however, it could be added. Mr. Hemmig questioned on the proposed twin mausoleum how far will this be from the intersection of William and Queen Streets? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Dornberger stated that it would be about halfway down the block between Clara and William Street. Mr. Hemmig further questioned if they had any concept on how big the remains mausoleum would be in the northeast corner? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Dornberger stated that it would probably be about twelve (12) feet long and no more than four (4) feet high. Colonel Welsh questioned if there was anything that they would need to address in making this motion that would address specifically the thirty (30) foot setback or is that encompassed in the amendment itself? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated that if you do want to eliminate the thirty (30) foot setback for interment structures which essentially would be mausoleum structures, you would make a motion to amend the ordinance to exempt mausoleums or interment structures from the thirty (30) foot setback. Your packet included the minutes from the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee meeting and one of the concerns of the committee related to if you have a cemetery that is abutting a residential neighborhood or residential area and proximity to that property line. Mr. Hemmig stated that he agrees with what Mrs. Townshend is stating about exempting it from the thirty (30) foot setback except where it abuts residential; however, should we also be careful about how close it gets to an intersection as it could be an impediment for sight or vision for traffic? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Koenig stated that it depends on where you are at in the City. In the Downtown the curb radius is around five (5) feet at some of those intersections so there is a sight distance issue on some of the approaches. He feels that you will need to put in some kind of language to make sure that the sight distance for the intersection is not impaired because it will change from intersection to intersection. Colonel Welsh moved to forward recommendation of approval to City Council on MI-10-18 Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance: Permitted Uses and to add the language to exempt interment structures unless they are abutting a residential area or would present an obstruction and sight distance issue at an intersection, seconded by Mr. Tolbert and the motion was unanimously carried 5-0 with Mr. Friedman, Mr. Holt, Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Ambruso absent.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 8, 2010 PAGE 5 Proposed Ordinance No. 2010-28 - Amendments to Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 14 - Limited Central Commercial Zone (C-2A) and Section 30 - Recreational and Open Space Zone (ROS) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that staff regularly reviews the Zoning Ordinance for areas that need to be revised or rewritten. She stated that two (2) areas within the District Regulations are recommended for amendment, as follows: 1. Amend C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) to allow parking lots and structures as principal uses on suitably landscaped lots, through the Conditional Use process. This change would add the Conditional Use which is already listed in the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). By making this a Conditional Use, the Planning Commission would be given discretion to ensure that parking lots and structures are constructed in a way that complements the surrounding area. 2. Amend ROS (Recreational and Open Space Zone) to add cemeteries as a permitted use and to exempt interment (burial) structures, such as mausoleums, from the 30-foot setback from property lines. When staff drafted the text for the ROS zone, cemeteries were not specifically addressed; however, in mapping the zone, cemeteries were rezoned to ROS. Following discussion with the administration at Holy Cross Cemetery, staff determined that the absence of cemeteries as a permitted use in the ROS zone was an oversight and should be corrected. Staff recommended that the proposed ordinance be forwarded to City Council for First Reading on November 22, 2010, referred to the Planning Commission for consideration on December 20, 2010, and that a Final Reading and public hearing be set before City Council on January 10, 2011. In response to several members’ concerns regarding the close proximity of mausoleums to residential private property, Mrs. Townshend suggested that if the Committee desired that the setback apply only when adjacent to residential areas, the proposed ordinance could be amended by adding the following to Line 23: “unless they are adjacent to residential properties.” She noted that the addition of this language would not have prohibited the mausoleum currently located at Holy Cross since the cemetery is not adjacent to residential properties. Mrs. Townshend explained that adjacent properties include only those that actually abut and that properties across the street would not be considered “adjacent.” Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Townshend anticipated that those residential neighborhoods located on South State Street to Route 13 would remain as such, which was very clear in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. She assured members that the proposed amendment would not impact this region as it is not zoned C-2 or C-2A; therefore, a stand-alone parking lot would not be permitted. Mrs. Townshend advised members that non-residential parking cannot be provided on a residential property. She explained that the situation involving Dr. David Jawahar’s office, which is located across the street from the hospital, is due to the property being zoned RGO (General

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 8, 2010 PAGE 6 Residential and Office), which allows both residential and office use; therefore, the requested parking was permitted. However, Mrs. Townshend assured members that the parking cannot be expanded. In addition, she reminded members that the RGO is a closed zone and that the Dover Code does not allow more parking than 125% of the minimum. Referring to the proposed amendment to Line 23 suggested by staff, Mr. Ruane questioned the possibility of including a number of feet (distance), rather than the use of “adjacent,” to address those concerns regarding the possibility of an intrusion into a neighborhood. Responding, Mrs. Townshend suggested that the proposed ordinance could be amended by adding the following to Line 23: “unless adjacent to residential uses. For the purposes of this section, adjacent shall include properties separated by a street.” Mrs. Horsey questioned if the addition of greater footage would provide better protection. Responding, Mrs. Townshend suggested that the setback could be set at 50 feet, rather than 30 feet (as noted in Line 22 of the proposed ordinance). To include a right-of-way (across the street), she suggested that the setback be set at 60 feet. Should members wish to prohibit structures from the perimeter of a cemetery, she suggested the elimination of the following additional proposed text in blue font (Lines 22 and 23): “In cemeteries, structures associated with interment shall be exempt from this requirement.” Mr. Ruane moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2010-28, as amended to include Lines #1-14 only, amending Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 14 - Limited Central Commercial Zone (C-2A), Subsection 14.4 - Conditional Uses, of Appendix B of the Zoning Code and that the proposed ordinance (Attachment #2) be forwarded to City Council for First Reading on November 22, 2010; referred to the Planning Commission for consideration on December 20, 2010; and that a Final Reading and public hearing be set before City Council on January 10, 2011. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Horsey and unanimously carried. Proposed Amendment to the 2010 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan - Unanticipated Program Income Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Director, advised members that the Community Development Office has received an additional $25,087 in program income that is uncommitted. Staff requested that these additional funds be allocated to the three (3) 2010 sub-recipient grant projects. The breakdown of the uncommitted funds is as follows: Uncommitted program income from 2010 grant allocation $12,234 Housing Rehabilitation loan payoff $ 6,953 1994 Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) uncommitted funds $ 5,900 TOTAL $25,087 Since the grant requests from the 2010 sub-recipients were funded below the requested levels, Mrs. Harvey explained that the additional funding may be added to the existing projects to fund them

PETITION TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT Public Hearing before the Dover City Council January 10, 2011 Proposed Zoning Change: Amendment to Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 8 – Mobile Home Park Zone (MHP), to add a new subsection 8.17 regarding maintenance of private streets. Summary of Amendment: At the request of members of City Council, the Planning Staff prepared an ordinance that would require that within the MHP Zone (Mobile Home Park), in areas where parks are developed with private streets, such streets remain clear and unobstructed, including unobstructed access to driveways, fire hydrants, and mail boxes. This would ensure that during snow storms and other events, residents have access to their driveways, fire hydrants and mail boxes. Recommendation of the Planning Commission: Following a public hearing on December 20, 2010, where two members of the public spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance, the Planning Commission recommended unanimously (5 members in favor, 4 members absent) in favor of the proposed ordinance.

MI-10-17 – Proposed Amendments to Zoning Ordinance, Article 3, Section 8 – Mobile Home Park Zone (MHP) Report to City Council – January 10, 2011 Page 2 of 3 The following is a summary of the testimony and discussion on this matter from the Planning Commission meeting of December 20, 2010: MI-10-17 Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance: Maintenance of Private Streets in MHP – Public Hearing and Action on Recommendation to City Council on proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to add provisions for the maintenance of private sheets within mobile home parks to Article 3, Section 8 Mobile Home Park Zone (MHP). Ordinance # 2010-29. Representative: Staff. Mrs. Townshend provided an overview of the proposed amendment. There were no comments from any Planning Commission members at this time. Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing. Mr. Fred Neil – 521 Weaver Drive – President of Wild Meadows Homeowners Association – Stated that one of the problems you have when you address a group of elected officials, the public, and appointed officials, is perhaps the lack of understanding of the dilemma of those of us who live in manufactured housing on leased land. It is kind of like a blind date marriage, after you get into it, you realize that your partner is not exactly as you thought they were and therefore, to get out, it becomes a very costly procedure. In the case of manufactured housing in this State on leased land, it is a monopoly that is unregulated. You are behest of the individuals that are operating to do what they are supposed to do according to the lease. He provided, through Mrs. Townshend, a fact sheet included in your packet on this in terms of the problems that they had at Wild Meadows. One of our residents has brought pictures of how deep it was and the snow that was piled up in front of her driveway. If they do not want to do what they want to do, then they just do not do it. Unless we have the support of our elected officials to change things, they are just not going to do it. Fortunately, we invite all of our City Councilman, Mayor, and elected representatives for the County and the State to our meetings and they do come and understand the dilemma. In this case, it does not cost anyone, does not cost the taxpayer any money. We are paying the freight. At an appeal hearing before the City Tax Assessor when they raised the value of the property from five million to eleven million, the people that were hired by the owners stated that they collect a million dollars in rent and only spend twenty percent on maintenance. Well, they have raised the rent again and we wonder where that money is going because the services are not there. For a fifty-five plus community, it becomes very much essential to be able to do these very basic things. They advertise country club living on their website; however, it is not country club living. Mrs. Agnes Robinson – 56 Molly Court – Stated that she has pictures for the record that shows where they had to shovel that shows twenty-six and a half (26 ½) inches with a yard stick. Her husband had to take a metal rod to break through the ice this last snowstorm to get the yard stick in so that they could measure it. They had cleared their entire driveway and then they came by and plowed them in. The twenty-six and a half (26 ½) inches went out several feet from their property and her husband is a diabetic and has high blood pressure. It was almost impossible to get this cleared off. Mr. Hemmig stated that Staff received a fax from Mr. Neil that is now entered into the record by reference.

There were no questions from any of the Planning Commission members at this time. Mr. Tolbert moved to forward a recommendation of approval to City Council on MI-10-17 Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance: Maintenance of Private Streets in MHP, seconded by Colonel Welsh and the motion was unanimously carried 5-0 with Mr. Friedman, Mr. Holt, Mr. Nichols, and Mr. Ambruso absent.

December 20, 2010 To: The City of Dover Planning Commission From: Fred Neil, President, Wild Meadows Home Owners Association Re: Item MI-10-17 - Fact Sheet Regarding Ordinance #2010-29, Appendix B, Zoning Article 3, District Regulations, Section 8 - Mobile Home Park Zone (MHP). The Home Owners Association (HOA) has requested this Ordinance following the hardships caused by the snow falls late last year and early this year. 1. Wild Meadows is a 55 Plus Community on Leased-Land. Management advertises Country Club living as an attraction. We pay a Community fee - a rent. 2. The State permits unlimited yearly rent increases, no excuse or reason is necessary. 3. There is no cost to the taxpayers of the city, county or State. The home owners pay for snow removal and all services provided by the owners. 4. There is no hardship to the community owner based on the May 21, 2007 testimony provided by the Appraiser hired by management for an appeal of the assessment on Wild Meadows. During that Appeal Hearing, the appraiser said the community was worth between $6.2 or $6.3 million, $1 million was collected in rents, and 20% was spent on maintenance. Since that time, the staff has been severely cut and other economies were taken. There are no full time employees located at Wild Meadows. Except for a part time “Life Style Coordinator”, she and maintenance personnel operate from another community located in Cheswold. 5. The rent/community fee has been raised effective February 2011 by $11 per month, and increase of $29,436 per year based on 223 homes. At $410 per home, the home owners pay $1,097,160 in rent each year to the owner. At 20%, $219,432 is available for maintenance leaving $877,728 for “other” things. 6. Snow removal from our driveways is a risky undertaking at the age of our home owners. Neighbors help neighbors when possible. 58 of our home owners are single, widows or widowers. Nearby entrepreneurs will clear driveways for $50 to $75, but these are blocked by the next sweep of the plow. Fire hydrants, mail box pods and drains remained blocked unless residents shoveled the snow away. Most, but not all damage done by the plow to driveways, was “fixed” very late Spring. The residents of Wild Meadows have earned a reputation as good citizens enhancing the quality of life in Dover. We urge you to recommend passage of this ordinance.

JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES MEETING A Joint meeting of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committees was held on December 6, 2010 at 4:45 p.m. with Chairman Leary presiding. Members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGiffin, Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Shevock, and Mr. Harmon (arrived at 5:30 p.m.). Mr. Salters, Mr. Davis, and Dr. Jones were absent. Members of Council present were Mr. McGlumphy and Mr. Ruane. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried. Presentation by Police Chief James Hosfelt - Deployment of Current Manpower Police Chief James Hosfelt introduced Captain Steve Getek, Administrative Division Commander, and reviewed a Power Point Presentation of the City of Dover Police Deployment of Current Manpower as of October 2010. He stated that Council approved filling one (1) of the four (4) existing vacancies and that the candidate selected is awaiting attendance at the Police Academy. He noted that a request will be submitted to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee on December 13, 2010 to fill another position due to the resignation of an officer. Once these positions are filled, there will be 91 officers on the force. Police Chief Hosfelt advised members that officers in a platoon work 12 hour shifts (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) three (3) to four (4) days in a row. In reviewing accomplishments, he noted that although there has been a 17% increase in burglaries, Dover’s clearance rate is 68%, which is three (3) times the national average. Chief Hosfelt also noted a 27% reduction in robberies through October and stated that the City’s clearance rate for robberies is 78% (three (3) times the national average); however, he cautioned members that this number may increase during the upcoming holiday season. He indicated that rapes have declined by 13.5%, with a clearance rate of 97%. Chief Hosfelt stated that there has been a 25.5% decrease in drug arrests and attributed this to the fact that the City’s drug unit has only five (5) members. He explained that the Police Department has worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration on two (2) major cases which required wire taps. Chief Hosfelt advised members that wire taps are federally funded at a cost of $250,000 per occurrence and the Dover Police Department must provide manpower to staff these events. Each wire tap requires the entire drug unit to be committed for a six (6) week period. Since there were two (2) cases, officers were pulled for 12 weeks, which detracted from their productivity. Chief Hosfelt reminded members that 80% of the proceeds seized from drug dealers returns to local law enforcement; however, he indicated that there are restrictions regarding the use of these funds. Police Chief Hosfelt also noted that there are additional requirements that remove officers from their duties, such as training required by the Delaware Council on Police Training, accreditation, and the need for specialized training.

JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2010 PAGE 2 Chief Hosfelt advised members that the Police Department uses the “Bartell formula” to guide personnel allocation. He explained that a nationally recognized standard recommends that a minimum of 50% of staff time be allotted as unassigned time to permit law enforcement officers to respond to requests for service. He explained that only 29.21% of City of Dover patrol units’ time is currently unassigned. Discussion - Police Staffing Needs and Associated Costs In reviewing the payroll costs for police officers, Police Chief James Hosfelt stated that the total cost for 10 officers for the remainder of the fiscal year, from February through June, would be $327,153.85. He reminded members that when preparing the budget, funds were included to cover terminal leave for possible retirements. He advised members that the Police Department does not have any officers planning to retire; therefore, the $327,153.85 is available in the Department’s budget. Chief Hosfelt stated that there are five (5) police agencies in the State of Delaware that run police academies. He noted that after being hired, officers are required to attend an academy in order to obtain certification. Although the City is capable of administering a police academy, costs are prohibitive; therefore, the Dover Police Department typically sends officers to other academies (Delaware State Police, New Castle County Police, or Wilmington Police). Chief Hosfelt stated that the earliest an academy would be offered would be in mid-February 2011, noting the possibility that this may not occur until mid-April. He advised members that the police academy involves 20 weeks of training, followed by 12 weeks of field training; therefore, a total of eight (8) months of training is required before an officer can be assigned a vehicle and begin working for the Police Department. Responding to Mr. Leary, Chief Hosfelt stated that academy training may not be required if an officer who was laid off by another jurisdiction is hired; however, the individual would be required to meet the Dover Police Department’s hiring standards. He stated that Dover has a list of potential officers that contains some certified officers who would require a shorter training period. In response to Mr. Ruane, Chief Hosfelt stated that it was suggested in 2002 that a workload assessment be conducted utilizing the “Bartell formula” but that this was not an accreditation standard. Captain Steve Getek, Administrative Division Commander, further explained that the “Bartell formula” assists in determining the appropriate number of police officers. He stated that the formula indicates that an additional 32 patrol officers would be necessary in order to obtain 50-55% unobligated time. Captain Getek read an Excerpt from the Dover Police Department Workload Assessment Report for 2007 and 2008 (Attachment #1) to clarify how these conclusions were arrived at. Mr. Bonar noted that members of Council must make a difficult decision regarding the hiring of additional police officers to provide much needed safety for the citizens of Dover and stated his willingness to take leadership in this regard.

JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2010 PAGE 3 Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reviewed the tables provided to members regarding details of the Dover Police Department’s staffing levels over the past 10 years. He noted that in 2009, the Police Department had an authorized strength of 93 officers and, although current approved staffing is 91 officers, since one (1) officer recently resigned and two (2) recent hires are scheduled to enter the next police academy, actual manpower at this time is 88. Responding to Mr. DePrima, Chief Hosfelt indicated that an authorized strength of 93 officers would allow for the number of officers for the community policing, quality of life, and drug units to be restored to the levels maintained in 2009. However, he stated a need for three (3) additional community policing officers (for a total of five (5) officers with this designation) and additional officers for patrol units (to provide a total of 13 officers for each unit). Chief Hosfelt noted that a total of six (6) additional officers was being requested at this time. At the request of Mr. Ruane, Chief Hosfelt stated that he could obtain information regarding the national ratio requirement for the number of police officers per 1,000 residents. Mr. Bonar requested that staff determine the amount of increased revenues necessary to accommodate the additional officers requested by Chief Hosfelt and provide the information to members as soon as possible. In response to Mr. DePrima, Chief Hosfelt assured members that if the patrol units were increased to 13 officers each, there would not be a need for additional vehicles. Scheduling of Next Meeting Mr. Leary reminded members that during their meeting of November 15, 2010, Mr. Clay Hammond, Chairman of the Delmarva Black Chamber of Commerce and Vice President of Business Development, Global Diversity Group, announced that a group of concerned citizens were planning a town hall meeting on Saturday, December 11, 2010 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. to consider the actions that could be taken to improve safety for children in the City. He requested that the City Clerk’s Office and/or Police Department confirm the meeting, obtain its location, and advise members accordingly. There being no objections, Mr. Leary requested that staff schedule the next Joint Committee meeting following the town hall meeting and that members be notified as usual. Public Comment Period (15 Minutes) Pastor Howard Earle, 224 Bradley Road, stated that he was made aware of gang problems in the City approximately two (2) years ago. He indicated that he has spoken with other communities facing similar issues and indicated the necessity of dealing with such problems immediately. Pastor Earle advised members that approximately three (3) months ago, a drive-by shooting occurred near his residence which resulted in his increased awareness of the problem. He reminded members that the decisions of Council in this regard could save lives.

JOINT LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION AND SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2010 PAGE 4 Mayor Carey advised members that the Mayor’s Office is sympathetic to the needs of the Police Department and supports the Police Chief’s request for additional officers. Mrs. Williams requested that members support the Police Department in their efforts to address these concerns before they spread and advocated putting the resources needed to get the job done in the hands of trained professionals. Mr. McGiffin moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 5:49 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Thomas J.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on December 13, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Ruane presiding. Members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. McGiffin, Major Kosior, and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Council President Hogan (arrived at 5:13 p.m.) and Mr. Leary (arrived at 5:13 p.m.) . Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved, as presented. Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Stoney Creek (Phases II & III) The developer of the Stoney Creek Subdivision (Phases II & III), Bay Developers, Inc., requested that all rights-of-way, public open space, and public infrastructure improvements related to this subdivision be dedicated to the City of Dover for permanent ownership and maintenance. Members were provided a list of all public improvements associated with this subdivision, as well as a map showing the general location and configuration of the subject rights-of-way. After construction was completed, City staff inspected the public improvements and provided the developer with a list of repairs to be made to meet City of Dover Standards and Specifications for Public Works Construction. All work has now been completed by the developer. A one (1) year Maintenance Agreement, Letter of Credit, and a Release of Liabilities will be submitted by the developer as a part of the dedication process. In addition, as-built drawings were submitted to the Public Services Department for their permanent records. Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way public infrastructure for the Stoney Creek Subdivision (Phases II & III), to include all referenced public improvements, as detailed on the List of all Public Improvements provided to members. Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that the total construction value of the improvements is $1,548,000. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation for the acceptance of dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure for the Stoney Creek Subdivision (Phases II & III) to include all of the referenced public improvements, as detailed on the List of all Public Improvements (Attachment #1). The motion was seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Mr. Ruane thanked Mr. Koenig, Mr. Lunt, and all City staff who participated in the South Governors Avenue Project for the hard work and effort involved in helping to bring the project to completion. Review of Utility Related CIP’s (Electric and Water/Wastewater) (October) Members were provided the Utility-Related (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Project Tracking Report for October 2010. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that all of the CIP projects (with the exception of new projects) are included in the PACE/NAES Report. He indicated that the PACE/NAES Report is provided by Mr. Vince Scire, Plant Manager, and is utilized to update the comments and status information provided on the CIP Report. In reference to

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 2 the Unit 3 Cooling Tower Project (noted on Page 36 of the PACE/NAES Report and Page 5 of the CIP Report), Mr. DePrima noted that this project is complete and Unit 3 and the Cooling Tower are back in service. He stated that the October PACE/NAES Report does not reflect completion of the project; however, it is reflected on the CIP report. Mr. DePrima reminded members that the status and comments provided on the CIP Report are more current than the dollar amounts, since his practice is to update comments after the end of the month. He assured members that there are no projects that require the Committee’s attention at this time. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. DePrima explained that Hazel Road has been completed, although the final blacktop coat has not been laid. He stated that he would provide details regarding the expected completion of the blacktop. Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mr. DePrima stated that parking restrictions will resume on Hazel Road and residents have been notified of the completion of the project. Mr. Ruane requested that staff provide a more detailed list of water quality projects in the next report. Mr. Bonar moved to recommend acceptance of the Utility Related CIP’s (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Report, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. PACE/NAES Monthly Report (October 2010) The PACE/NAES Monthly Report for October 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. At the request of Mr. Ruane, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the contract between the City of Dover and PACE/NAES will soon expire. (City Clerk’s Office Note: The City’s current contract with PACE/NAES will expire on June 30, 2011.) Although the City has a good relationship with PACE/NAES, Mr. DePrima explained the importance of keeping this service competitive. He stated that bids have been solicited through the City’s Utility Attorney, Mr. Kirk Betts, for the services currently being provided by PACE/NAES. Mr. DePrima noted that several bids were submitted and will be reviewed and presented to the Committee and Council for consideration and final approval in March 2011. Mr. Ruane commended staff for taking a proactive approach in this matter. Mr. Bonar moved to recommend acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Report for October 2010, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Update - Green Energy Funding and Programming Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, provided and reviewed a corrected Green Energy Funding and Programming Update - Stimulus Funding (Attachment #2). He advised members that he was recently made aware of significant revisions the State has made regarding the limits and the structure of the program. Mr. Lunt indicated that the State will change from a dollar-based grant program to

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 3 a kW-based program and that this change will have little financial effect on the City. Once further information regarding the change is received, he assured members that this information will be provided. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that, to his knowledge, the Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) does not provide grants to municipalities, although a loan program is available. He indicated that the SEU has programs targeted to individuals, for example, a program for homeowners to apply for lighting rebates. Mr. DePrima noted that a link to the SEU’s website is available on the City’s website and that the City and the SEU continue to pursue the concept of performance energy contracting. Mr. Bonar encouraged direct communication with the SEU when possible, explaining his understanding that the SEU has experienced challenges in organizing their program, disbursing funds, etc. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend acceptance of the Update on Green Energy Funding and Programming, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:54 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Eugene B.

He noted that this vacancy was created due to the recent resignation of a Police Officer. Mr. Salters moved to recommend approval of the request to recruit for a Police Officer, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Permission to Recruit - Public Utilities Operations/Construction Manager Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, reviewed a request to recruit for a Public Utilities Operations/Construction Manager in the Public Utilities Department and advised members that the previous employee in this position retired last spring. He explained that staff attempted to continue working without filling the position; however, this proved challenging. Mr. Lunt stated that there are no current employees, particularly in the Water/Wastewater Division, who have the managerial experience necessary to keep projects moving forward. Although another employee (an engineer) attempted to assume these responsibilities, Mr. Lunt stated that the work is outside of his skill set. In addition, he noted that this individual has received a letter of deployment for May 2011 and will be stationed overseas for approximately one (1) year. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend approval of the request to recruit for a Public Utilities Operations/Construction Manager, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. Permission to Recruit - Electric Ground Worker Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, reviewed a request to recruit for an Electric Ground Worker in the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Division of the Public Utilities Department. He stated that a vacancy was created when an Electric Ground Worker was transferred to the Public Services Department.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 2 Mr. Salters moved to recommend approval of the request to recruit for an Electric Ground Worker, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, which was also provided to the City’s audit firm, Faw, Casson, & Company, LLC. She reviewed the comments received from the City’s auditors regarding their preliminary notification of internal control issues observed during their audit. Dr. Jones suggested that staff inform all employees of the new requirements regarding the deadline for submission of retirement paperwork, relaying concerns that information is not always disseminated from department heads. Mrs. Mitchell provided a broad overview of the CAFR and an explanation of major highlights. Mr. Ruane noted that Page 3 references population estimates from the Delaware Population Consortium, as well as the 2000 U.S. Decennial Census, and that Page 139 references only the 2000 Census. If possible, he suggested that staff consider utilizing the Delaware Population Consortium data to better reflect the real population of the City. He noted that the use of the Census data skews the ratio of the net bonded debt to the City’s population. Referring to Page 132, Mr. Ruane suggested that staff include 2010 property tax rates. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Mitchell noted that the City’s outstanding debt will be reduced by approximately $80,000 by 2015 and that, as of 2017, the City’s current outstanding indebtedness for the General Obligation (GO) Bonds will be completely paid (as indicated on Page 68). She stated that this is the only debt service the General Fund has at this time. Furthermore, Mrs. Mitchell indicated that, although a comparison to other governments has not been performed, the City’s debt service is low. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the final CAFR must be submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) by December 31, 2010 and that Council will receive a final copy in January 2011. Mr. Salters moved to recommend acceptance of the Draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Review of Council Memberships Members were advised that certain memberships are included in Council’s budget and that, once these memberships are approved through the budget process, payments are processed as renewals are submitted. Since these expenses are reflected in Council’s budget, it was suggested that the expenditures for continued membership be reviewed and approved.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 3 For Fiscal Year 2010/2011, City Council’s budget included $12,198 for subscriptions and dues. This amount is based on the previous year’s costs or, when provided, a cost adjustment. The specific membership dues for this Fiscal Year are as follows: League of Local Governments - Annual Membership Renewal - $ 6,000 National League of Cities - Annual Membership Renewal - 3,258 Delaware State Chamber of Commerce - 856 Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce - 875 Miscellaneous (Magazine Subscriptions, etc.) - 200 Total $11,198 Mr. McGiffin advised members that overtly political communications are sometimes received during the budget preparation and election “seasons” and relayed his concerns regarding the utilization of tax dollars for membership dues to organizations that engage in political activity. He suggested that members be thoughtful and deliberative in determining which organizations Council will join, particularly when tax dollars are used to pay dues. Mr. McGiffin recommended that Council not pay membership dues to the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce (DSCC) and the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC) due to his feeling that these organizations are increasingly involved in political activities. He suggested the possibility of Council resigning immediately from these organizations and requesting a pro rata refund of dues already paid. Mr. Ruane referred to relevant emails and other notices provided to members (Attachment #1) and indicated his concurrence with Mr. McGiffin’s concerns. He stated that City funds should be used only for those memberships that are truly beneficial to the advancement of the causes for which the City and its government were established to accomplish. Mr. Bonar reminded members that the City has a long history of involvement and participation with the CDCC and local Chambers of Commerce at a variety of levels. He noted that the late Mayor Crawford Carroll was one of the main proponents of City and Chamber interaction. Due to the associations developed between the members of the Chambers, City Council, and City government, many business activities have transpired in the City which have been beneficial to the City’s tax base and citizens. It was Mr. Bonar’s hope that the City would continue to maintain membership with these organizations so that integral resources can be developed and interactions can be fostered between City government and the business community. However, he recommended that the City remind the Chambers that the City’s participation is voluntary and that the City does not condone involvement in political activities. Council President Hogan relayed his concerns with the emails sent which encourage individuals to express their disagreements with the City. It was his opinion that these organizations were actively recruiting and working against the City of Dover. He stated his opposition to paying tax dollars to organizations that are working against the City in this manner.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 4 Mr. Leary voiced his support of the organizations and the benefits of membership. He suggested that members continue to authorize the City Clerk to include these memberships dues in the upcoming proposed budget, which would allow members the opportunity for further review during the budget process. In the meantime, he suggested that an outreach effort be made to resolve any problems the City may have with the organizations involved. Responding to Mr. McGiffin, Mr. DePrima advised members of the benefits offered by the CDCC, such as leadership programs, the Mayor’s attendance at Board Meetings, etc. He was not aware that the City was a member of the State’s Chamber of Commerce. Mr. DePrima stated that the Delaware League of Local Governments (DLLG) provides a variety of services to members, including educational and other information, lobbying, monthly educational meetings, etc. He was not aware of any local issues involving the National League of Cities (NLC); however, it was noted that some members of Council attend the NLC annual convention. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. DePrima stated his feeling that there was not much collaboration from the CDCC during the budget hearings; however, he advised members that the Chamber offered to meet with City staff to assist in budget development. He stated that a meeting was held with the Executive Director and President to determine how the City could allow for better public participation through the budget process. As a result, the Chamber will create an expert advisory committee that will work with City staff in the preparation of the City’s budget. Dr. Jones suggested the possibility of staff contacting representatives of the CDCC to voice the concerns of the City prior to severing the relationship. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that when he met with the CDCC Executive Director and President, he mentioned that there were concerns and assured them that they would have an opportunity to address members; however, since he was not aware that this matter was scheduled for this meeting, they were not contacted nor invited to provide input. Dr. Joel Halpern, member of the CDCC, advised members of the many benefits provided by the organization, which serves as a voice for businesses and is instrumental in bringing businesses to the community. Mayor Carey felt it important for the City to continue memberships with these organizations and mentioned some of the various benefits provided to the City in this regard, noting that the City receives information regarding current issues. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend that the matter be tabled to allow the opportunity for the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC) and other organizations to address members regarding the benefits of membership, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. Mr. Leary requested that staff reach out to the organizations involved and provide them the opportunity to address members to explain the benefits of memberships.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2010 PAGE 5 By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:49 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Thomas J.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: City Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Utilities –Electric Engineering DATE SUBMITTED: 12/29/2010 PREPARED BY: Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director SUBJECT: Transmission Relay and Coordination Contract REFERENCE: NA RELATED PROJECT: NA APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller EXHIBITS: NA EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Not to exceed $443,748* AMOUNT BUDGETED: $500,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Electric Engineering Operating Budget, Page 410, 480- 8300-563-30-31. *In September, 2010, Council approved the purchase of the ETAP Software for $56,252; $443,748 brings this up to the budgeted amount. TIME-TABLE: It will be completed by June 30, 2011 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding the contract TRC Inc. as per their proposal. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The City of Dover has historically experienced unnecessary transmission line outages as a result from issues related to the transmission line protection system. This project will systematically examine the entire transmission protection system which will include evaluating all current relay settings, ensuring proper relay coordination, and confirm/test all existing wiring/components to ensure proper operation. The field investigation will test CT ratios, equipment inputs, wiring and trip scheme. The relay coordination study portion of the project will analyze the trip schemes to ensure that the outage is limited to the line section that is experiencing the fault. Because of the highly technical nature of this work and the requirement of experienced engineers and technicians for this project, solicitations were advertised through the Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposal process. Solicitations were advertized by the City’s Contract and Procurement Manager according to the purchasing policy under RFQ 11-0014DPU. Three potential contractors submitted their qualifications and were reviewed by staff. Two contractors, TRC Inc. and Electric Power Systems (EPS), met the city’s required qualifications and were sent RFP 2011-015ENG. The third contractor, Downes Associates Inc., did not meet the required qualifications and was disqualified. TRC Inc. and EPS submitted proposals for RFP 2011- 015ENG and these solicitations were evaluated using a point analysis to determine the most qualified candidate. The point analysis included rates and expected project duration, qualifications/experience, and available resources/ manpower. Staff concluded that TRC Inc. was the most qualified and economical candidate for the project. The City is requiring TRC Inc. to use ETAP to examine/evaluate the relay settings, coordination, and other aspects of the existing protection scheme. The Public Utilities previously purchased the ETAP software, which enables city staff to build a distribution model to add to this “corrected” transmission model. Consequently, city staff will be able to conduct system studies, modify/install the correct relay settings in the substations, and modify/install the correct fuse size in the distribution protection/isolation system to ensure maximum customer reliability. Contractor Hourly rate for relay/ Hourly rate for field investigation Point Analysis control drawing review TRC Inc. $135 $135 116 EPS $145 $135 100

TIMETABLE: System installed 90 days after signing of contract RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize Mayor Carey to sign contract for installation of four camera with Advantech in the amount of $31,500 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS To improve safety in the downtown a plan was developed to place surveillance camera in key locations. The first phase of the project was funded last fiscal year through the City of Dover and the Downtown Partnership. Six cameras were place in 2010. The locations were selected by the Downtown Partnership Parking Committee in cooperation with the Dover Police Department. Their locations are shown on the Exhibit in yellow. The cameras are digitally recorded and monitored at the Dover Police Station. This contract is for four additional cameras, there location are shown on the exhibit in red. Advantech was selected for the first phase of the project. Their work was found to be satisfactory and they have been very responsive to our needs. Therefore they are being recommended to continue with the second phase of the contract as a sole source vendor to keep the all the camera technology and networks fully integrated.
