PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING-ORDINANCE #2022-20-REAPPORTIONMENT OF COUNCIL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES Council President Sudler reminded the public that copies of Proposed Ordinance #2022-20, Reapportionment of Council District Boundaries, were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or could be obtained from the City Clerk’s Office. He reminded members that a public hearing and the First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance took place during the Regular

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 4 Council Meeting of October 24, 2022, and a public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of the proposed reapportionment of Council district boundaries. Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2022-20 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Boggerty, and unanimously carried. Council President Sudler declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Sudler declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Neil moved for the adoption of the proposed ordinance, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2022-20, as follows: PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2022-12 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 630 WEST DIVISION STREET A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 630 West Division Street, consisting of 1.0853 acres (47,275.3 SF+/-), owned by Silver Linings Holding Corporation, c/o Tolano Anderson. The property is currently zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone), subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). (Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000 and Fourth Council District; Planning Reference: Z- 22-03). Council President Sudler reminded members of the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government.” Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2022-12 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hare, and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of September 26, 2022.) Planner's Review Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. She noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Gray explained that there were two previous rezoning requests for 630 West Division Street. She further explained that the most recent application was for the same request to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone), and prior to that request, there was a previous application that was a rezoning to IO (Institutional and Office Zone), and both were recommended for approval by the Planning Commission, and both were denied by council. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Gray explained that a gentleman attended the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the rezoning. Ms. Gray explained that eight members were present at the Planning Commission meeting.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 5 Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that according to the record, it is the same request. Ms. Gray explained that it is the same request. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Gray explained that the uses allowed in C2A are retail stores, a business professional or government office, personal service establishments, restaurants, service establishments, hotels, places of public assembly, drive-throughs, one-family residences including attached and semi-detached dwellings, apartments and multi-family dwellings and conditional uses, including parking lots and parking structures as a principal use and fuel pumps accessory to a permitted use. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Gray agreed that Council is here to consider if the zoning is appropriate from one zone to now C2A without considering usage. Ms. Gray agreed that Council must separate those two issues. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Gray explained that it depends on the use, it may have to go through the Planning Commission, and it will likely not have to go through Council. Responding to Mr. Hare and Council President Sudler, Mr. Gray explained that she is just talking about the allowed uses for the site in rezoning and that we are not talking about any project. She explained that, to her knowledge, a project has not been discussed with the Planning Department. Mr. Rocha explained that it doesn't matter to him if he knows what the project is or not. He further explained that if we move this forward, it is the same request, and it could come up and end up what it was last year. Mr. Rocha stated that we still must take into consideration that if it does turn into a homeless shelter for men, from my standpoint, he does not have a problem with vagrants and panhandling or vandalism. Mr. Rocha stated that is not the showstopper for him. Mr. Rocha noted that he has said it before that the showstopper is the distance that the location is from Booker T. Washington, and if they open the door because that location is too close to a school. Ms. Arndt referred to what Ms. Gray had shared in her presentation and that there were three criteria by which she determined a zoning decision. Ms. Arndt stated that was whether the proposed zoning is compatible with the surrounding uses of the surrounding parcels. The presentation given and the information provided indicate that it is. Ms. Arndt continued to state that the second criterion was whether it was consistent with the comp plan. It is a mixed-use area. The zoning is consistent with the comp plan for mixed-use designation. Ms. Arndt stated that the third criterion was the availability of services. The City of Dover certainly provides services to that location. Ms. Arndt reminded Council that zoning decisions are based on those three criteria, and we are looking at the zoning, not a particular use. Ms. Arndt stated that it is her understanding that that is a standard practice of law for zoning decisions and those are the criteria that we review. Ms. Arndt stated that Council does not want to get into discussing a specific use of a property and whether they want a specific use there. Mr. Anderson stated that he has been listening carefully to the discussion and has decided to support this rezoning request. Mr. Anderson explained that this is not an IO zoning, so if somebody wanted residential, such as apartments, that could be there. However, it is not a shelter

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 6 designation, which would not really be compatible necessarily with what is around there in a commercial location. Mr. Anderson explained that if people decide if it ever went to a higher-density residential, the people who would move there would have to be eligible according to state law. Mr. Anderson stated that ineligible people would not be able to locate there unless either the state law changes or an interpretation of the boundaries, which is, quite frankly, in dispute. Mr. Anderson continued to state that where you go from door to door or if you go from edge to property edge for property, we have not gotten a legal opinion on it. Mr. Anderson noted that if you go from edge to edge, sex offenders would not be eligible to live there. Mr. Anderson explained that this is not a high concern to him because of that fact. Mr. Anderson continued to explain that if this is a designation and the uses are needed for that property, it is something that the people who had previously opposed have withdrawn their objections because they apparently know something that he does not. Mr. Anderson stated that means that the project that they are now supporting, including, there were several petitioners who equaled at one point around 75% of the people immediately adjacent, those objections are withdrawn. Mr. Anderson stated that therefore, they know something, and it is something that apparently now has satisfied the people of the community and their objections. Mr. Anderson noted that if their objections are withdrawn, he has none and he will support the rezoning, the rights of the property owner, and the voice of the community. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Gray stated the uses that are allowed in C3 are as follows: Service establishments, personal service establishments, a business professional or government office, retail uses accessory to a permitted use, drive-throughs accessory to a permitted use, wholesale storage and warehousing establishments, indoor recreation and amusement establishments, motor vehicle, boat, or farm equipment sales or service. Ms. Gray continued to state that then it has some conditional conditions applicable to those uses; Manufacturing, assembling, converting, altering, finishing, cleaning, and any other processing of products for sale on or off the premises provided that no more than 25 persons shall be engaged in such activity and provided further at any such use shall be subject to the performance standards procedure as set forth in Article five, Section eight. Many storage facilities and conditional uses include crematories. Ms. Gray explained that residential uses are not allowed in C3. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Gray agreed that there is a difference in the type of commercial activity that is allowed. Ms. Gray explained that for instance, it is not retail as an accessory, it is the primary. Ms. Gray stated that you have restaurants, you have hotels, and you have things of that nature of the commercial activity. Restaurants, hotels, et cetera are not in C3, but they are in C2A and, in her vision of the main corridor of the city. Ms. Gray stated that she does not see as much where she would want to see manufacturing and some of those other heavier uses which are closer to industrial and a heavy type commercial as opposed to a more people-oriented commercial that would be more compatible with the main corridor of the city. Mr. Hare wanted to clarify on the record that the owner of 630 West Division Street, Mr. Tolano Anderson is not related to Councilman Anderson.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 7 Mr. Anderson confirmed that they are not related. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury’s question, is there a type of zoning that allows more liberal commercial use but restricts residential use, Ms. Gray responded that she would do an analysis. Ms. Gray noted that City Manager Hugg stated that he does not believe so. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury’s suggestion to reevaluate the zoning ordinances and change them, Ms. Gray stated that she would add that suggestion to her very long list of zoning revisions. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated the conditional uses for C3, service establishments and retail uses accessory to a permitted use that is not listed as a conditional use. Ms. Gray stated that it is not allowed as retail, however, you could have retail use as an accessory to a service establishment, a personal use establishment to a business or a professional government office, or to a drive-through, any of the allowed uses. Ms. Gray stated that you could not have a sub-shop per se. Ms. Gray continued to state that if you had a professional office and you wanted to sell something in addition to your office, you could have a retail use there, but you could not open just a retail shop. Ms. Arndt explained that if you look at the map that is presented, there are parcels in the immediate vicinity that are zoned C2A directly across West Division from the subject parcel and there on the corner of Weston and West Division. Ms. Arndt stated that she will be voting in support of this rezoning based on the reasons that she has given previously, which are the three considerations on which they base the zoning decisions. Responding to Council President Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that the factors of looking at adequate public services and infrastructure, and whether they exist. Ms. Gray continued to state that traffic can be considered a factor, but that you must look at the traffic generators for the allowed uses. Ms. Gray stated that you cannot be looking at a traffic generator for a specific use. Mr. Sudler explained that his concern is the street, it is a unique street and that is because it has delineators, right? Mr. Sudler stated that they already have existing concerns regarding emergency apparatuses. Rather, the cars get to the left where they can or get over to the right when the vehicles are coming through there on West Division Street. Mr. Sudler stated that is his major concern. Mr. Sudler explained that when they go to look at rezoning these areas, what he is hearing is that they do not do a future traffic impact study or predictor and that this currently is where we are with the traffic stressor. Mr. Sudler asked if this going to increase if they allow any of these usages here and if so, how much will it increase the stress. Mr. Sudler stated that as he said, he would not be that concerned to a certain extent if they did not have the delineators there. Mr. Sudler continued to state that they all know that the delineators have been a huge issue and a factor on that street when it comes to increasing traffic and safety. Mr. Sudler noted for the record, that is the reason why he will be voting against this because he believes that the additional traffic will make it even more dangerous than it currently is.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 8 Mr. Hare stated that approving this to allow more commercial property in there, retail and all of that, and more traffic could be very dangerous to the bicycle community, which is a big concern. Mr. Rocha asked if the residential is considered in the broad spectrum or if Ms. Gray could read what the residential consists of. Mr. Rocha continued to as if it is a single-family if it is families or if it could potentially become a shelter. Ms. Gray responded that the allowed uses in C2A for residential are one-family residences including attached and semi-detached dwellings, apartments, and multi-family dwellings. Mr. Rocha asked Mr. Hare to elaborate on his previous statement. Mr. Hare explained that it could be a shelter. Ms. Gray stated that shelters are classified as lodging and boarding houses, and that is only allowed in the IO district. Ms. Gray stated that is not allowed under the use of apartments and multifamily dwellings in the C2A; therefore, it would not be allowed. Mr. Hare asked under the zoning request if they could create individual apartments for homeless people. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that individual apartments would fall under apartments and multi-family dwellings which is permitted. Mr. Boggerty stated that it is his humble opinion that if they continue to ride this slippery slope of making assumptions of what they are going to do with the property is not being clear, only assumptions. Mr. Boggerty stated that in my humble opinion, also as it relates to traffic, as he reads, DelDOT has no objections to their rezoning since they took the proper steps. Mr. Boggerty noted that it is right here in their packet. Mr. Boggerty stated that as a former owner himself, at some point, he can if he chooses to rent out his property and get paid for it, if he takes the loss, that is on him, whom he rented it to, that is on me. Mr. Boggerty continued to state that when he owned his property, his commercial building, he gave very, very favorable rents to his tenant so they can stay in business and limited his profits. Mr. Boggerty noted that is just the world that they live in. Mr. Boggerty stated that they hear one of his fellows, and again, this is only because he is going into an area that he does not think they should consider at this moment, but since it is on the floor, they constantly talk about affordable housing. Mr. Boggerty noted that if this company or if Silver Lining has a plan to offer affordable housing, then that is their entrepreneurial endeavor. Mr. Boggerty stated that if something happens, and he is with everyone, if something happens to children, trust him, he is calling first. Mr. Boggerty explained that at the same time, he thinks that they must keep the first things first and really evaluate what exactly are they voting on. Mr. Boggerty noted that it is not the usage but the zoning. Mr. Boggerty stated that if there is a problem that happens with tenants, and he is a monthly paying customer as well, of the car wash

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 9 as well, and I read his position, but that's happening everywhere. We don't know what's going on. I mean, we can't stop that. Mr. Boggerty stated that they are not changing the zoning anywhere else because people are experiencing issues and as his esteemed councilwoman stated, he looked at the map as well. Mr. Boggerty continued to state that he does not know if Silver Lining owns any of those other properties but that if they really wanted to do something like that, they probably could because they have other properties. Mr. Boggerty noted that from my research and understanding, they probably could take other steps and open other homes and there will be nothing that they can do about it. Mr. Boggerty stated that the Council talks about supporting the growth of their city, supporting small businesses and they talk about moving the city forward. Mr. Boggerty continued to state that he does not know if it is housing or whatever it is, and it is loopholes like this that he has spoken to business owners about as well. Mr. Boggerty noted that some of them, do not want to deal with the city because they get bogged down in these issues. Mr. Boggerty stated that they take their business or do not open a business at all to other places. Mr. Boggerty noted that he will be supporting it but that he thinks that they should keep an eye on it. Mr. Boggerty stated that he thinks that they should trust that their own City Planner has done their due diligence, that they listen to the rules of law, and what is before them, and not overly assume that or they are going to find themselves again in another lawsuit. Mr. Boggerty stated that he is not sure if it is being a battle, a real battle, but that they are already in a lawsuit for similar actions. Public Hearing Council President Sudler declared the public hearing open. Tolano Anderson, 50 Dove Creek Terrace, Dover, Delaware 19901. Mr. Anderson stated that he was sitting back there taking notes and he cannot keep up with all of this. Mr. Anderson continued to state that he personally made a decision to invest in this city. Mr. Anderson explained that after 24 years in the Army, he retired, came to Dover, and said, "This is a good city, this is a place to invest, and this is a place that he can make a home." Mr. Anderson continued to explain that he brought my family here from all over the country and they settled down right here in Dover. They invested their life savings and everything they have to be a part of this community and to make it better. Mr. Anderson noted that they formed five corporations. They manage, own, or operate 47 properties in the city. Mr. Anderson stated that he himself and his wife invested and own 27 properties in this city. Mr. Anderson explained that after what has happened at this meeting tonight, he wishes that they had never come and that this is an embarrassment. Mr. Anderson asked about property rights, the rule of law, regulations, ordinances, articles, titles, and all of this stuff that is in place to make sure that they can all make a living, get along and do what they desire to do in the United States of America.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 10 Tolano Anderson stated, that this application is not like the previous application for two reasons. Mr. Anderson explained that number one, there was a petition that was forwarded with a previous application. Mr. Anderson continued to explain that the petition required a three-quarter percent or three-quarter vote of the council to be in favor to approve it. Mr. Anderson noted that there is no petition before this. Mr. Anderson stated that on the last application he prevailed, he had the majority vote, but they did not have three-quarters. Mr. Anderson stated that without a petition, he prevailed and that they would be moving on with their business right now. Mr. Anderson continued to state that because there was a petition in place and because of those who were opposed, they brought an attorney who brought a petition which was erroneous, and he presented that to the City Manager's office, to the City Planning office, it was erroneous. Mr. Anderson noted that it had false information, accusations, and all kinds of information that was invalid but that petition prevailed, forcing a three-quarter vote. Tolano Anderson stated that they had to wait a year and come back again but here is what he does know, the Director of Planning, the City Manager, the Mayor, and the City’s own legal counsel have said, "Does the criterion for your vote is, does it meet with these three things, Article 10, Section five, is it compatible with other uses in the area?" The answer is yes. That is why you have a unanimous vote from the Planning Commission on the previous applications. Yes, it does. The City Council’s criteria are the same as in that article. Is it compatible with other uses in the zone? Is there adequate infrastructure? And the answer is yes. Mr. Anderson noted that they have been through it. Mr. Anderson explained that the Development Advisory Committee has given their complete support as on the previous applications, it is the same thing that DelDOT has given, and there are no traffic issues. Mr. Anderson stated that DelDOT has given their support and that they understand exactly what they are doing. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that you think we invested all of these millions, tens of millions of dollars in this city and do not understand enough about traffic or what about the people on bicycles. Mr. Anderson noted that this is ridiculous. Mr. Anderson stated that he will say this, the third criterion is whether it is in compliance with the current Comp Plan. The answer is yes, your criteria have been met. Mr. Anderson stated that now they can jump outside the lines, and he really hopes that the council speaks on this tonight. That is your criteria for deciding whether or not this meets the requirements for rezoning, the City’s use, Council’s speculation, they may do this, or you can rent an apartment or you can stop it. Mr. Anderson asked Council to make a decision. Mr. Anderson stated that they are either going to follow the law or they are not. Mr. Anderson stated that the Council does not have the criteria right now to decide, "Well, based on the use that they think he might do at some point in the future, they do not think that they are going to approve." Mr. Tolano Anderson stated they he has met the requirements under the regulation and that he has it right here. Mr. Anderson noted that he has been doing this for a long time. Mr. Anderson explained that the other reason why the application was denied last time, was not just the petition that required a three-quarter vote, but the attorney that was present also presented information that said that Council has to consider the use because they do not want certain people to be in their area. Mr. Anderson noted that they do not want certain people, but that he owns the properties directly across the street from there, behind the property. Mr. Anderson stated that the attorney who presented this information says that they have to consider the use, but right now,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 11 they have all been served with those of Council who were present at the time and are being sued by that same attorney because in another case they are considering the use. Mr. Anderson stated that the attorney takes the exact opposite position that he presented to Council with a bogus petition to force the vote criteria up here where they could not reach it because of other erroneous information and conjecture and speculation and possible uses and so forth. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that, that case is pending and that he has the documents with him. Mr. Anderson noted that he read through it today and that he was like, "Yep. He is saying that they cannot consider the use." These are criteria based on this article, which is okay fine but then here Council is doing the same thing again. A homeless shelter is not allowed in the C2A zone, period. If you say, "Well they might do it anyway." Well then there are laws, but that is not who he is and that is not what they do. You may also say, "Well they do not want sex offenders to be in this area, it is too close to the school." Sex offenders are not allowed to be there because first of all, it is not a shelter, it cannot be a shelter, but they have not even discussed what exactly they are doing there. They have criteria that they want to meet so that they can rezone the property and then they can plan what they are going to do. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that they have been doing it a long time, but that they have been sitting here fighting this battle over and over again. Mr. Anderson noted that those are the reasons why this application is different. One, there is no petition, and the letters that Council has that were presented from his office clearly show there is business support, there are businesses supporting right across the street, Ben Smith's Funeral Home, the salon, the Mexican restaurant, and his office is right there. All this concern over homeless panhandling but most of the letters do reference that also. Mr. Anderson stated that he does not have any of those problems right next door to the car wash and that neither do the people directly across the street. Mr. Anderson continued to state that maybe there is something going on there that is drawing those folks in. Mr. Anderson noted that they deal with that but that they do not deal with it by denying an application for rezoning when the criteria for it have already been met. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that he does not know what they are doing there tonight. Mr. Anderson stated that he does ask for Council’s support for this application. Mr. Anderson explained that they have been through the DAC, they have been through the Planning Commission, and they have the support of the professional planning staff. Mr. Anderson explained that everybody unanimously, that they can meet all the requirements of the C2A zoning, and the corridor overlay zone one, and they are all set. Mr. Anderson noted that he is locked and loaded and that they are ready to go. Mr. Anderson stated that he just wants to know one thing and that he does not know, he guesses he cannot ask questions from the podium there, but that he will simply say this in closing, he has a property, it is 19,400 square feet. It has been sitting there for over two and a half years and what a waste. Mr. Anderson stated that he does not care if Council has personal agendas or whatever the situation is. Mr. Anderson stated that all he cares about is whether he as an entrepreneur, a businessman, an investor, or someone who comes into this community to make a difference and do the right thing, can he at least look into the City’s regulations, the Delaware code, everything? Can I follow the regulations and say, "Okay, here I go.”?

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 12 Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that the City’s Planning Directors, the City Managers, and the Mayor have told Council. Mr. Anderson noted that the City’s own counsel has told them, to listen to the minutes, and still, they are having this conversation. Mr. Anderson stated that if Council wants to deal with what they do and how they do it there as a whole separate criteria for that following this. Mr. Anderson continued to state that the rezoning, they have met the requirement. Mr. Anderson stated that they met the requirements, Council can decide what they want to do. Mr. Anderson stated that they can make up stuff, they can make a conjecture about what uses there may be in the future, and that there is already a lawsuit that was alluded to earlier about the use being considered as criteria for a rezoning application. Mr. Rocha stated that he wanted to make it clear for the record that he believes in his position of conducting his due diligence, and that he can ask any question that he wants to. Mr. Rocha stated that they do not have to make a response to that. Mr. Rocha stated that Mr. Tolano Anderson does not even know how he is going to vote, but that he felt like he was an idiot sitting in this chair after Mr. Anderson was finished speaking and that he does not even know how he is going to vote. Mr. Rocha stated that he feels that since he has been on this council that they throw everything on the table and then they sort through that. Mr. Rocha stated that is part of their business of protecting their city and they should consider all options regardless. Mr. Rocha continued to state that at the end of the day, they make a vote. Mr. Rocha noted that if it was as simple as Mr. Anderson is suggesting and as simple as a lawsuit, then it is a rubber stamp as far as he is concerned, they do not need Council’s approval. Mr. Rocha stated that the reality is they do need Council’s approval and that so does the lawsuit. They still need Council’s approval and if Council does not have the option of doing their own due diligence, then why are they here? Mr. Rocha stated why the Planning Commission could not just go ahead and go eight to zero and then it is done. Mr. Rocha noted that it still has to come through Council. Mr. Rocha stated that he stands by his vote, and he could care less if a lawsuit is presented afterward or not. But as Mr. Anderson said, he does not know how he is going to vote. Council President Sudler stated that Mr. Anderson is right and that this application is different. Mr. Sudler noted that what is distinct about it is that it does not define the future project. Mr. Sudler stated that they should write it down and that it does not define the future project like the other two did. Mr. Sudler stated that the other two that they are referring to, he is assuming that they are referring to the one behind Cranberry Run, and the previous one, and they made it known what their intentions were. Mr. Sudler stated that they opened the door and that when Mr. Anderson lets them know what your project is, then they will no longer be assuming, it is then a fact. It was a fact on the application that Interfaith wanted to do a shelter there. Mr. Sudler explained that they came here, sold it, during the time of the zoning, and wrote it down, which opened them up for the decision that Council then made. Council President Sudler stated that it was a fact that behind Cranberry Run is where they wanted to do that major development across from Dover High, they wanted to do this big plaza. They even told everyone in Heather Field, which came out and said, "You told us what you going to do." Those were the two distinctions between your scenario here, which I concur it is different. You were wise not to put the project, whatever it may be.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 13 Council President Sudler stated that again, he believes that regarding traffic right now, Council has had a meeting with EMS, the head of EMS, the fire department, and the Chief of the fire department. Mr. Sudler stated he does believe, if he is not mistaken, maybe Deputy Chief Spicer was there or the Chief when they had a meeting about getting rid of those delineators because the emergency staff said it is a hazard to their apparatus and is a hazard to the constituents when they have to come through. So those may not be the main scope of what Planning and Zoning look at, but it is a major factor in safety and maybe it should be part of the main scope in which Planning, and Zoning look at in safety, additional safety measures. Council President Sudler stated that he is going to stand by his note based on safety. Mr. Sudler stated that he does applaud Mr. Anderson. Mr. Sudler stated that Mr. Anderson was smart enough not to put that project in there but that he is going to vote no because of safety issues. Mr. Sudler stated that this is something that he has been dealing with as the fourth district councilman and has gotten information from Benny Smith. Mr. Sudler noted that he does not know what happened and that he knows there is not any new leadership, but he knows not even a year ago, they also were concerned about the delineators and the safety. Mr. Sudler explained that as a matter of fact, one of their employees also got in a car accident right there. Mr. Sudler stated that he does not know if they travel down that road quite often, but that he does and every time that he does go, he is scared for someone if it is a fire apparatus because there is no room for movement. Council President Sudler stated that is his concern and that he is in housing, he houses sex offenders. Mr. Sudler noted that his property is not close to a school and that is not his issue for the record. Mr. Sudler stated that based on safety, he will not be supporting it because it is not safe on that. Mr. Sudler continued to state that increasing the traffic, he does believe it is not safe. Mr. Sudler stated that of course, DelDOT is going to be okay with it because DelDOT was the one that could have said, "Remove the delineators." Mr. Sudler stated that he is not surprised that DelDOT is okay with it and that he is not surprised. Mr. Sudler stated that he is going to stand by what he believes is the right thing to do for his constituents, even if it does not fall in the major scope of the approval Victor Giangrant, 730 Oak Drive, Dover, owner and operator of Westside Car Wash along with his family at 805 Forest Street for the last past 40-plus years. Mr. Giangrant stated that they employ approximately 40 plus people and that he would like to make this short and to the point. Mr. Giangrant stated that they should not forget that they were here a year ago and before that a year ago, the Council has voted this down twice before. This is the same thing, same pig, different lipstick. Mr. Giangrant continued to state that Council cannot lose sight of the school, number one, it is so close to this vicinity. Mr. Giangrant noted that Council has to be really careful of what is put there. Mr. Giangrant explained that there are kids walking, tens, twenty, walking home every day from school and they cross that facility every day, sometimes twice a day. Mr. Giangrant stated that as far as the traffic, it is jam-packed with traffic. Mr. Giangrant asked if anyone has done a projected study on traffic stress in this area. Mr. Giangrant noted that it is a bottleneck, especially with Fire trucks, police cars, and EMS vehicles. They all have problems at that intersection and they are overloaded with traffic. Mr. Giangrant stated that by

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 14 changing the zoning at 630 West Division Street, Council might be creating a bigger traffic problem. Mr. Hare stated that he respects Mr. Giangrant and that Mr. Giangrant is a 24-year veteran. Mr. Hare stated that he is a Vietnam veteran, so man to man, he has read these letters and two people said, "It is a great project." So just veteran to veteran, man to man, why will they not tell Council what the project is? Mr. Hare stated that he is man enough to tell Council if he had it because they do not want Council to know. Mr. Tolano Anderson explained that he spoke with those business owners. Mr. Anderson stated that he talked to them specifically and directly told them that he needs to rezone this property so that he can maximize the property. Mr. Anderson stated that is so they can study and decide exactly what is the best and highest use, the most profitable with the highest appreciation that they can find and that is not in C3, it's in C2A. Mr. Anderson stated that his project is rezoning. That is what he talked to them about and that is what they were referring to. Mr. Anderson noted that they are entrepreneurs, and they are going to make good business decisions. That is what they want to do. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated that they are doing what is best for the city. You know what, let me issue an apology to the council. Mr. Anderson stated that he was a little emotional starting out and he would like to issue a heartfelt apology. Mr. Anderson continued to state that he may have offended some of the Council and to let him apologize for doing that as well. Mr. Anderson stated that he was emotional and that he lost well over a hundred thousand dollars on this process that they went through here previously. Mr. Anderson stated that he needs to issue an apology and he would ask Council to wholeheartedly receive that as well. Mr. Anderson noted that the project is rezoning and that nothing happens unless it is rezoned. Mr. Hare stated that just makes him wonder. Mr. Hare stated that the only thing really different between the two zones is what it is zoned now and what the future zoning is able to have, main thing is residential and maybe some retail shops, but the retail shops can possibly be a conditional use. Mr. Hare noted that just because you have an office there and you decide you want to do something. Mr. Hare stated that is all he has because obviously somebody, is saying the project is good for the community. Mr. Hare stated that he does not know if they did not know how to write a letter or what they were doing. Mr. Hare noted that he does not know and that maybe Mr. Anderson should talk to them. Mr. Taylor thanked Ms. Gray for an outstanding job, and he also thanked Mr. Tolano Anderson. Mr. Taylor stated that he does take pride in everything that happens here at this seat and that he takes pride in taking the time out to read things and truly understand them. Mr. Taylor stated that Businessman to businessman, he heard him, and Mr. Anderson has his support. Mr. Neil stated that he does not know Mr. Anderson personally, but that he does know what he has been doing and that he knows that he is a man of great heart and that he has gone out of his way to show that heart in different ways. Mr. Neil stated that what he is going to ask him specifically because it fits in if he has been in touch with Downtown Partnership and the Mosaic people who are creating the master plan. Mr. Neil stated that if Mr. Anderson has this property and it gets rezoned, it opens up a brand-new door for something that is very positive.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 15 Mr. Neil stated that he does not know how much he has picked up on Mosaic. I was extremely impressed when they made their presentation to Downtown Partnership because he serves along with other members of the council, saw it, have it. They are terrific and if he has not done so, by all means, reach out to Diane Laird, DDP and make sure that they know that that property there at the gateway coming into the downtown area is very important because they are very smart people and I think could add a great deal. Mr. Neil stated that he heard him the last time, that he hears him now, and that he knows where Mr. Neil stands. Mr. Neil thanked him for what he does and thanked him for the heart that he has, did not show here tonight that way, but he knows that it is there. Mr. Tolano Anderson stated yes sir, they are working with several different agencies including Downtown Partnership, the MOT, DDA, the DPP, and everyone that wants to improve the city, that wants to enhance their communities, are working with them. Mr. Anderson stated that if he wanted to do a homeless shelter, he has three acres in the City of Dover that is zoned IO. That is a first permitted use, and he could do a shelter anywhere, anytime but that is not my concern. Mr. Anderson stated that his interest is what is best for the city and that he has had offers to run a methadone clinic at this building. Mr. Anderson noted that is not good for the community and that is not good for the area. Mr. Anderson knows what that is going to bring, and he understands his fingers are on the pulse of their community. Mr. Anderson noted that he wants what is good for all including safety, taking everything into consideration. Mr. Tolano Anderson explained that he is invested for the long haul with everything that his family has. Mr. Anderson stated that he will continue to work with everyone. Mr. Anderson stated that through the Banning Street corridor project there with DelDOT, Kent County and the City of Dover are working most recently here with Mr. Hugg and Mrs. Duca concerning an initiative for site readiness development. Mr. Anderson noted that they have done the Brownfield development of the two acres that used to be the ice plan, which is also zoned IO. Mr. Anderson stated that they are all over the city and that they are doing a lot. Mr. Anderson stated that when they lose a lot of money, it hurts and it is a little emotional, but the truth is they love this town. Mr. Hare explained that he will not be supporting this rezoning application. Mr. Hare stated that he guesses that he is not in favor of the way the city code is. Mr. Hare stated that he does not think that he likes someone being able to come, get a rezoning and not know what is going to be going on in that neighborhood. Mr. Hare stated that is one of the changes that he has mentioned in the past that should be changed so they know what is going on there. Mr. Hare stated that with all due respect to Mr. Anderson, he spent a lot of money on this, and has no idea what is going in there. Mr. Hare stated that if this is approved and it turns into a good retail business or whatever and it does not turn into something that they are speculating, he will be the first one to apologize to him. Council President Sudler explained that he will not be supporting the rezoning application for safety reasons. Mr. Sudler stated that he believes that it is already stressed and from the concerns of the business owner there as well. Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a roll call vote of 7 in favor (Anderson, Boggerty, Neil, Pillsbury, Arndt, Rocha, and Taylor) and 2 opposed (Hare, Sudler). Council adopted Ordinance #2022-12 as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 16 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 630 WEST DIVISION STREET 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 a 1.0853 (47,275.3 SF) acre property described below from C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) 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-3 (Service Commercial Zone) and COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) to C- 2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) on that property located at 630 W. Division Street (on the south side of W. Division Street opposite Ridgely Street), consisting of 1.0853 (47,275.3 SF) acre parcel, owned by Silver Linings Holding Corporation. (Part of Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000; Planning Reference: Z-22-03; Fourth Council District) ADOPTED: NOVEMBER 14, 2022 ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 24, 2022 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of October 24, 2022, were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE – OCTOBER 25, 2022 The Council Committee of the Whole met on October 25, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. with Council President Sudler presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Ms. Arndt, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Hare, Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor, and Dr. Pillsbury. Mr. Rocha was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Shelton (Utility), Mr. Contant (via WebEx), and Mr. Shevock (via WebEx) (Legislative, Finance, and Administration.) Dr. Jackson, Mr. Hosfelt (Safety, Advisory, and Transportation), and Mr. McCutcheon (Utility) were absent. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Boggerty moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. SAFETY, ADVISORY, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 17 Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Debriefing/Post-Mortem on Firefly Music Festival (Presentations by the Department of Planning and Inspections and the Dover Police Department) Mr. Jason Osika, Fire Marshall, reviewed the 2022-FMO After Action Report Summary presentation. Mr. Sudler stated that he noticed that although Firefly was a major activity and very successful with a lot of great teamwork, it almost felt like they were not there, because of the way the traffic and the way everything was coordinated so well. Mr. Sudler continued to state that he almost forgot that Firefly was happening that weekend, other than hearing the music, so he wanted to commend all the City of Dover staff that partake in making this event a success. Mr. Sudler thanked the staff for representing the City of Dover. Mr. Sudler asked who took the pictures because they should be a professional photographer. Mr. Sudler suggested that the photos should be used on the website for the City of Dover, as an activity that they host as part of representing the City of Dover. Mr. Neil stated that he wanted to give a report from someone who is most directly affected and that he received phone calls about Firefly. Mr. Neil noted that it is a great event for the city, simply because people are coming in from all over, not just in the immediate area, not just in Delaware, but that they are coming from all over. Mr. Neil explained that it puts the City of Dover on the map, a specific music map, just as NASCAR does for a sports map, and that is what they hope the Gift of Light will be, which is from Thanksgiving thru New Year's and pay some electric bills with that. Mr. Neil stated that it is moving very well inside because of what they have learned, however, people are walking up and down Persimmon Tree Lane, still blocking traffic. Mr. Neil explained that he has asked the festival people to create a map to show an internal area and to not let people back in at the gates off Persimmon Tree. Mr. Neil continued to explain, that it would let the traffic flow through the compound but not out and that it would be easier for emergency vehicles coming in and out. Mr. Neil stated that the second thing is the music mostly on Thursday and Friday nights, where the music was exceeding the city's requirements for sound. Mr. Neil noted that usually, their sound engineers are very good at making sure that the music goes out so that President Sudler can hear it and up north can hear it, but those in that immediate area are the ones that are deluged. Mr. Neil explained that by Saturday, it was much better, and though some people complained about Sunday, basically the explanation was simply, it was allowed to go an additional hour, they could have had two hours, to put on that performance due to the weather. Mr. Neil stated that the other thing is there was a shift, and that may be why traffic was not as noticeable because they went from the summer to the fall. Mr. Neil

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 18 stated that he thought what may happen is they are going to look at the crowds and maybe move it back towards a summer date that fits into a schedule because the producer of this event produces many festivals of this type. Mr. Neil explained that the more attractions, the better attractions, the heavier the attendance will be. They held approximately 50,000, but it does affect our lives, simply because of the detours that it is causing and the effect that it has. Mr. Neil noted that the City of Dover handles the event well, but they also have State Police involved, who may forget that we must come up and down Persimmon Tree Lane, going down to Route 9 and then working around to White Oak or going up north further to get just one and a half miles going in one direction suddenly now becomes 13 miles in it by doing the route out. Mr. Neil stated that he is excited about the Gift of Light, the light show that is coming. Mr. Neil stated that he thought it is going to be a terrific event for the city. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Osika stated that he can tell a difference in attendance, just by the camping lots. Mr. Osika stated that he does not know how many more came in because he was not on the one side of, what they call the day trippers, that come in with daily tickets. Mr. Osika stated that he does not have the exact number of attendees, but they usually do not let the city know. Mr. Osika noted the biggest difference that he has seen from June to September is probably the Emergency Medical Services. Mr. Osika stated that he believes incidents are down because when you are in the June months, you have people not hydrating and drinking other beverages and it is hot out, which creates other issues, whereas now, it is cooler out, so that eliminates that issue. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Osika stated that the 331 hours the Fire Marshal’s Office worked is a city expense and that it has never been recaptured from AEG or the Speedway. Mr. Osika noted that he is not sure why that is. Mr. Osika explained that staff recently had a meeting about this not long ago about if they want to go in a different direction or not, and that they are going to maybe investigate that. Mr. Osika noted that, he keeps track of most of his staff and that he can give Council all the breakdowns of each person and what the costs are. Mr. Osika continued to note that most of them take it as comp time, which is still a cost because they are taking off. Mr. Osika stated that their hours are 100% paid for by the city. Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department stated that June is going to generate more heat casualties than a September event, regardless of your attendance. Chief Johnson agreed with Mr. Osika that hydration is a big issue and people with chronic conditions do not hold up as well in June, usually, in the climate that you would experience during that time. Chief Johnson explained that from a health standpoint, he thought the first aid stations did better and that EMS was not incredibly overtaxed at this year's event, than perhaps when the event happens in warmer weather.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 19 Chief Johnson stated that regarding traffic, he wanted to give compliments to the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), which is a very big player in making sure that traffic flows smoothly through the city. Chief Johnson explained that they bring major gear to this event and will take over programmed traffic lights and intersections. Chief Johnson noted that while they are doing real-time monitoring of traffic flow, they will make real-time adjustments to signaling and how the city handles getting in and getting out. Chief Johnson stated that from a policing standpoint, there was not too much activity to note, he was able to print on a page and a half all the recorded events, whether it was logged on the Persimmon Tree side or the DuPont Highway side of the event. Chief Johnson explained some were just run-of-the-mill events that you might get a call for through the 911 system that just happens to occur in that zone, and they squared those away. Chief Johnson stated that they had a couple of medical events which they took some action upon. Chief Johnson stated there were no real major serious criminal events, as far as anybody being injured by assault. Chief Johnson noted there was one report of an aggravated robbery that, ultimately, after quite an extensive search, proved to be unfounded. Chief Johnson stated that they were unsure if the aggravated robbery victim was exaggerating because they could never locate him, or whether it was a distraction call to take the attention away from something else because sometimes that will occur. Chief Johnson noted that there were a couple of significant drug arrests that were handled away from the crowd. Chief Johnson explained that when you get that many people together with closed containers, not necessarily inside of the venue where clear plastic is the order of the day, but on the periphery of the event. Chief Johnson stated that there were entrepreneurs that are now out of business thanks to some of the City’s plain clothes and undercover officers doing what they do. Chief Johnson stated that the motorcycle unit was heavily involved in escort duty, sometimes as far away as southern New Castle County, depending on where the VIP, the talent, was coming from, to come to and from the event to perform, that went off flawlessly. Chief Johnson stated that he was proud to report that there were no major incidents that Council would be concerned with about the crime. Chief Johnson noted that he thought the biggest, besides a drug-related event, the biggest criminal event was a couple of other industrious young people that were taking stuff out of parked cars. Chief Johnson complimented the venue, the host organization, Mr. Hosfelt, and the system that is in place there. Chief Johnson explained that it was easy to catch them when they could watch them on television and then they knew exactly where to send the resources, down to exactly what they are wearing. Chief Johnson stated that this is a multi-jurisdictional event, as far as the police plan goes and that meetings start in the months leading up to the event. Chief Johnson noted that the Fire Police get involved also to help with traffic and that it is a collaborative effort.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 20 Chief Johnson stated the evacuation was also something that took them a little bit by surprise. Chief Johnson stated that they had only five to seven minutes' notice that it was going to occur. Chief Johnson continued to state that the Meteorologist had to decide, and he was trying hard not to recommend that. Chief Johnson explained that there is a National Weather Service Meteorologist that is onsite in the Command Post, where they have a portable 911 center, and they made a very difficult call. Chief Johnson noted the evacuation was very orderly, with no injuries, and no problems about that. Chief Johnson stated that every night, he watched Mr. Bundek, the EMS supervisor go from bathroom to bathroom to make sure that there was nobody passed out, or in a bad way. Chief Johnson noted that he is an EMS leader, but he gets in there and from the teamwork side of things, it is just awesome to see. Mr. Neil stated that when Sir Paul McCartney was here, the ex-Beatle, there were 90,000 people, and that, for our city, our size, was remarkable. Mr. Neil noted that even with the dates this year and last year, because of COVID-19, the attendance numbers were at the 50,000 level. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated the Police Department's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program is in suspended animation, they are not active because DelDOT, has a lot of capacity and capability. Chief Johnson stated that their drone resources are so readily available, so far more advanced than the equipment that the City currently possess that they rely upon DelDOT. Chief Johnson explained that they would have to get permission to operate in this airspace, with the Air Force base being present, and that it is too much of a burden for the Police Department to keep up with that. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Osika stated that the Police Department had drones at one time. Mr. Osika noted that one of the biggest issues from talking to DelDOT is they have a life expectancy of about three to five years and then it is outdated. Mr. Osika stated that his team asked if they could get training on it, which he allowed, he supports any type of training that they want to do. Mr. Osika explained the last time they used a UAV was from Fire School, they have drone programs, and at the Loockerman Street fire, drones came in handy. Mr. Osika stated that they are looking more toward a UAV for aerial photos for the City’s case file. Update on Kenton Road Project (Sharon Duca, Assistant City Manager) Ms. Sharon Duca, Assistant City Manager reviewed the background and analysis regarding the update. Ms. Duca also discussed the speed reduction on Kenton Road between Forrest Avenue and Chestnut Grove Road. Staff recommended that City Council support the proposed speed reduction to 35 MPH for Kenton Road between Forrest Avenue (SR8/K51) and Chestnut Grove Road (K158). Mr. John Gaines, Group Engineer, DelDOT, stated this project was recommended by the Dover Kent Metropolitan Planning Organization (Dover Kent MPO) many years ago. Mr. Gaines noted DelDOT has been working on it since about 2015 and are nearing the end of the right-of-way acquisition phase. Mr. Gaines noted that they are planning on beginning construction in the spring of 2023 and wrapping up late summer of 2024. Mr. Gaines explained that the project is fully funded through

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 21 construction. Mr. Gaines further explained that the project was put on the back burner for a while, but they were able to move some funding from some other projects to make this one goes on that schedule. Ms. Laura Haxton, Senior Transportation Engineer, Century Engineering stated that the project is improving Kenton Road from Route 8 to Maple Dale Road. Ms. Haxton stated that they will be adding pedestrian and bicycle facilities and that there will be a 10-foot shared-use path along one side of Kenton Road, from Route 8 to College Road. Ms. Haxton explained then it will cross the street and then go to the entrance of Fox Hall. Ms. Haxton further explained that it will be called a low-stress network for your everyday bicycle rider and pedestrian. Ms. Haxton stated that everywhere else there will be a five-foot sidewalk, except for the five homes across the street from the Fire House and that was due to right-of-way complications. Ms. Haxton noted that there will be 11-foot travel lanes, right and left turn lanes installed at all the subdivisions and roadways, and curbing. Ms. Haxton explained that they will be improving drainage and lighting. Ms. Haxton stated that two brand new stormwater management ponds are going in and a roundabout at the Chestnut Grove Road intersection, a single-lane roundabout that will mimic the roundabout at Route 10 and Route 15 in Camden. Ms. Haxton stated there will be a signal light at Greentree, the intersection of Greentree Drive and Kenton Road and that this improvement is underway right now. Ms. Haxton also stated, some utility poles will be moved back starting this week and that the signal light should be up within the next couple of months. Ms. Haxton stated that the project will be divided into two major phases. Ms. Haxton explained that in the first phase they will be building from Route 8 to College Road. Ms. Haxton stated that this part of the roadway will be done under lane closure which will include flaggers, drums, and barriers. Ms. Haxton noted they will build one side of the road, flip it over, and build the other side of the road. Ms. Haxton stated that there will be detours in there, like Greenway Lane and College Road, and they will have to shut down for a little bit. Ms. Haxton stated that the second phase will be Turnberry to Chestnut Grove Road which will be done under a full closure lasting 39 days due to no shoulder and not being able to shift vehicles. Ms. Haxton stated that the second full closure will be from College Rd to Turnberry for 30 days to build that section. Ms. Haxton stated that this is a safety-related project and that they have a speed resolution that they would like as an early action item to put into place now or as soon as possible. Ms. Haxton stated that this includes all side roads from Route 8 to West Denney’s Road. Ms. Haxton explained that due to driver expectations and safety reasons, they are suggesting that they want to reduce the speed limit to 35 miles an hour. Ms. Haxton noted that they have concurrence from the City of Dover Police, and once they get the approval tonight, DelDOT can get those signs out there and get that speed reduced before construction comes through just to improve safety.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 22 Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Haxton stated that to enter Fox Hall West, they will be able to enter from Carnoustie Road and Burning Tree. Ms. Haxton noted that they will not be closed at the same time. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Gaines stated that they are going to send out night surveys to say, "Hey, if we can work at night, we can get this done a lot quicker." Mr. Gaines noted that if enough people are opposed to night work, the way they have it shown now is all daytime. Mr. Gaines stated that if they get approval to do night work, they can greatly expedite this project. Mr. Gaines noted that it will be a noisy project. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Gaines stated they will contact the Department of Education and they plan on holding an informational meeting a few months before they start construction just to say, "Hey, this is coming, and these are going to be the impacts." Mr. Gaines stated that anytime they have a detour up, it will be well signed for the detour route. Mr. Gaines contained to state that each time they change phases, they put out signs on the side of the road. Mr. Gaines noted that they are thinking of having a group that will run the public outreach. Mr. Gaines stated that if someone has an issue, they can contact the correct person and they can come to meet with them right away; they will be on staff every day for the project. Mayor Christiansen stated that as Chairman of Dover Kent MPO, he wanted to let everyone know that it took a little bit for them to get this project moved up. Mayor Christiansen noted that Mr. Shelton is also a member of the Dover Kent County MPO. Mayor Christiansen stated that they both wanted to share what they trying to do next because they feel that while the improvements are going to be terrific for Dover Kenton Road, they are overlooking another road that is heavily traveled and that needs some attention. Mayor Christiansen stated that their efforts are going to be put into getting College Road improved as well because why improve Dover Kenton and then dump a lot more traffic on College Road? Mr. Dana Shelton, 133 Red Oak Drive, Dover Hidden Oaks right next to Woodlands of Fox Hall. Mr. Shelton stated that the road, between Scarborough or McKee and Dover Kenton Road on College Road near the old Square Club, is a hazard. Mr. Shelton stated that he drove down that road earlier today and that an elderly lady was walking with a cane right on the side that did not have sidewalks and the cars had to move over so that they could go around her because she was walking on the line. Mr. Shelton stated that if they are going to do work on Kenton Road, then that is another road that they want to take care of because it is a hazard, and someone is going to get hurt. Mr. Shelton explained that you cannot ride bicycles down there or walk down that street. Mr. Shelton stated that he jogged down there but had to jog on the other side because he was afraid that he was going to get hit by a car and that he had to try to face the cars when the traffic came. Responding to Mr. Shelton, Mr. Gaines stated that a new project just started on College Road from McKee Road to Kenton Road. Mr. Gaines stated that Ms. Haxton’s team will be working on this project as well and has just started the field survey. Mr. Gaines explained that regardless of what the roadway looks like there will be an off-road multi-use path.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 23 Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Gaines stated that for the new College Road Project, they have a six-year CTP funding that was not available until July 1, 2022. Responding to Mr. Gaines, Mr. Sudler stated that he would help and give his support when it comes time to talk to property owners. Mr. Boggerty invited Ms. Haxton and Mr. Gaines to attend the West Dover Community Town Hall on November 3, 2022, at Maple Dale Country Club from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Ms. Duca called the committee’s attention to the Committee Action Form in the packet the proposal for speed reduction on Kenton Road. Mr. Hare moved to recommend that City Council support the proposed speed reduction to 35 MPH for Kenton Road between Forrest Avenue (SR8/K51) and Chestnut Grove Road (K158), as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved to recommend that City Council support the proposed speed reduction to 35 MPH for Kenton Road between Forrest Avenue (SR8/K51) and Chestnut Grove Road (K158), as recommended by staff, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Gaines stated that for College Road, they are going to do a large public outreach to come up with alternatives, present them to the public and choose a preferred alternative. Mr. Gaines stated that a shovel will not go into the ground for three years or better depending on public outreach. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Gaines stated that they will be one hundred percent responsible for managing all stormwater for any additional roadway they add. Mr. Sudler stated that they are already on four years, and it sounds like it is going to be another three to four before the College Road project is started. Mr. Sudler stated that hearing the grave concerns, and the enormous amount of traffic that is going to be picking up. Mr. Sudler noted that he would like to see College Road bumped up as number one or number two because of the safety issue. Mr. Sudler also stated that he would like to see how it was prioritized and if the safety issue is in more demand than the other area. Mr. Sudler stated that on College Road they have students, seniors at Westminster, fire apparatuses coming down there at high speed when necessary, and even officers and that there is no room to even walk on the other side of the road. Mr. Sudler explained that he knew that on Kenton Road there is some sidewalk available and there is some sidewalk available on Route 8 on the right, but absolutely none is available pretty much on College Road, particularly on the right side where the Grand Lodge is located.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 24 Mayor Christiansen stated that a list of projects that the Council sent was prioritized for them last year or early in the spring. Mayor Christiansen stated that the list was sent to and approved by the Dover Kent MPO that were accepted projects. Mayor Christiansen noted that he believes that College Road was one of the top priorities. Mayor Christiansen explained that they moved a couple of the other projects down. Mayor Christiansen noted that MPO and DelDOT are aware of the project moving up, and the urgency to get it done. Mr. Taylor requested that the Mayor and Chief Johnson, send a copy of the procedural notice when it comes to information being sent to council, whether it be a loss of life incident, a fire, or whatever the case may be. Mr. Taylor explained that too many times are finding out information on Facebook, by constituents or by a reporter calling, and then they are not prepared. Mr. Taylor stated that the current system, that they have right now is broken. Mr. Taylor stated that there was a loss of life, he found out about it on Facebook, and he is the Chair of Safety. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated that he can go to the Dover Police Website and sign up for notifications, which is open for any member of the public to sign up. Mayor Christiansen stated that they will certainly take that under advisement. Mayor Christiansen stated that Mr. Taylor with his prior experience as a police officer would understand that there is some information that can be released immediately and not that they do not have confidence in the council to keep information that should be kept under wraps. Mayor Christiansen stated that it is no sign of disrespect to any member of Council and that they certainly will review our policies. Mayor Christiansen noted that in the past, most of the discretion of the dissemination of information is the prerogative of the Chief to triage what they need to get out and what they do not. Responding to Chief Johnson, Mr. Neil requested that all members of Council be put on the notification list for public information. Mr. Taylor moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with President Sudler presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt and unanimously carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 25 Community Resources - Delaware 211 and Stand By Me (Donna Snyder-White, United Way) Ms. Donna Snyder-White reviewed the presentation entitled Strengthening Families Financial Empowerment Data, Driven Impact. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Snyder-White stated that of the 8,300 people who refused a follow-up call most of them felt that they could just make the call on their own or they did not need any additional assistance. Mr. Neil stated that they know that the problem with housing is stability. Mr. Neil stated that the figures show that a person needs over $45,000 or works 95 hours a week at a minimum wage of $9.25 to get rental housing. Mr. Neil noted that the problem with rental housing is, and that is all housing, corporations are coming in and scooping up housing that has gone into receivership. Mr. Neil stated that they have bought apartment houses and they bought leased land communities. Mr. Neil explained that as soon as that happened, even if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac money or any other money that was designed for it to be affordable housing, it is no longer affordable. Mr. Neil stated that he believes a landlord should be paid, they should be paid for the cost of the operation and maintenance because a lot of the things that these corporations are buying are not maintained. Mr. Neil stated that corporations do not have to because there is nothing in the law that says you must maintain it, you must go after them and there are code inspectors who go in and enforce codes for these rentals. Mr. Neil explained that his paradigm is to have a public service commission for all rentals simply because they will do exactly what we do for utilities. Mr. Neil noted that utilities are important, they are private, and these guys do not want to do that. Mr. Neil stated that when he goes to the state legislature, he is going to need help because of an article that appeared last Friday in the Delaware State News. Mr. Neil noted that that article’s headline is, "Here is how to fix Delaware's lack of housing." Mr. Neil stated that unless they do something different, they are going to have the same problem, no matter how much money they put into affordable housing, it will not be affordable any longer. Mr. Neil noted that as soon as you go to buy out, as soon as that buyout is there, you are in the same boat. Mr. Neil explained that they need that housing because every single person must have someplace to go and come back to make all this work. Mr. Neil further explained that the money that is being taken out of this state does not come back in taxes, it is going out to major corporations. Mr. Neil shared a headline, "I do not have any faith in the system. Soaring housing costs have renters mulling how they will vote in the midterms." Mr. Neil explained that the heart of this went to every single candidate that is running, whether they were incumbents, newbies in open markets, or whether they were challengers. Mr. Neil stated that a few members of the state legislature have said "Yeah, we need to go in that direction”, however not enough, they need them on both sides of the aisle. Mr. Neil stated that this article was directed to the voters, anticipating that the article from USA Today said, come on, ask them and we need to get the changes in

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 26 the state legislature to make it happen. Mr. Neil asked, “why should we continue to compound increases year after year, after year?” Mr. Neil expressed that unless United Way will stand by him when he goes to fight for this, it is not going to happen. Mr. Neil noted that United Way, Housing Alliance, and Neighborhood Good Partners have a reputation. Mr. Neil explained that the President of this Council is not a problem. Mr. Neil further explained that Mr. Sudler has housing, he is local, and basically, his money is coming through on just this principle. Mr. Neil further explained that the principle of this is what it is costing him to run and have it. Mr. Neil stated that if he sells, whatever he sells for, he could sell for a fortune that is when we lose the affordable housing. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Snyder-White stated that she will stand with Mr. Neil and thanked him for expressing his passion around this issue. Ms. Snyder-White stated that housing and the lack of affordable housing are very complex and that there is not one single solution, and we know that, right? Ms. Snyder-White explained that they have been dealing with it for a long time in this state. Ms. Snyder-White stated that she is very happy to supply any Council Member with information about the constituents that have reached out to Stand By Me or 211 for help. Ms. Snyder-White stated that she is happy to have some of the actual clients say exactly what they have been going through with where they are at in their life if they want to share that. Ms. Snyder-White explained that some of them have, and she thinks it is more than the data, it is people sharing their stories and being available to you to support that. Ms. Snyder-White agreed with Mr. Neil that there are businesses that are coming in, scooping up the properties and then they sell them at a higher price. Landlords are putting people out of their units or homes, renters, because they want a higher value that other people can afford. Responding to Ms. Snyder-White, Mr. Neil stated City Council passed an Ordinance last night for lease land communities where the owner, any community owner who has purchased a community or someone who could not pay the rent and they have the house, now must have a certificate of occupancy so that house is safe. Mr. Neil noted companies are selling houses that do not have floors, toilets, or cabinets, they sell them and then turn them over. Mr. Neil noted that now they cannot do that anymore. Mr. Neil stated that they are selling houses they do not have titles to, they are not allowed to sell that, but they are. Mr. Neil noted that they are getting away with it because the person who buys a house does not have a title, they cannot sell it and we now must report that to the Department of Justice. Mr. Neil shared that we had a situation where a family of four, parents were disabled, and children were disabled. Mr. Neil continued to share that when the Code Inspector went into that house, she said, "You have to leave immediately." She condemned it. Why? Mr. Neil stated that the house had dangerous electrical problems, but they did not have a doorknob, they opened a door with a knife. Mr. Neil explained they wound up with their mother in a mobile home in Maryland

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 27 because Delaware had nothing. Mr. Neil noted that the paradigm must change to keep affordable housing affordable. Mr. Neil stated that it is essential that they must do everything they can to open and have places for people to live. Mr. Neil suggested that the Neighborhood Good Partners may now be able to come in and take over a property, would be great because they are professionals, and we know they are going to do the job. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Snyder-White stated that the Stand By Me Minority Small Business Program is a 12-month program, they assigned individual financial and business coaches, that looked at their personal finance as well as the business finance, and leaned in to understand, build a relationship. Ms. Snyder- White explained that first, they build trust but also lean in to understand what each business was struggling with, what the identified barriers could be validated, and to put in strategies to help them overcome those barriers. Ms. Snyder-White further explained that this meant partnering with several resources that are not just in a United Way but in the community to help strategize how to either accelerate their business, write a business plan, customer retention strategy, whatever the need was that we helped them to solve that problem. Ms. Snyder White stated that they partnered with Barclays Bank, which afforded them engagement funding, a client benefit fund as well as a barrier fund. Ms. Snyder-White continued to state that United Way assisted them with getting grants that were available in the community. Ms. Snyder-White noted that Barclays with the barrier fund was able to help give them the money to buy the bigger piece of equipment that helps them get more yield and production out of what they were doing. Ms. Snyder-White stated that with a combination of learning and understanding what the barriers are, what is impeding the business growth, and working with partners to develop strategies to help them overcome the barriers, how we got there. Mr. Anderson requested Ms. Snyder-White to provide a list of some of the unmet needs she sees that are within our community. Annexation Request - Consideration of Utility Services for 1107 S. Bradford Street owned by Ditko Properties LLC (AX-22-02) (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning, and Inspections) Staff recommended upon consideration of utility services, it is found that electric, water, and sanitary sewer services are provided and/or available to the property at 1107 S.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 28 By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved to recommend upon consideration of utility services, it is found that electric, water, and sanitary sewer services are provided and/or available to the property at 1107 S. Bradford Street. The Electric Department and Department of Water and Wastewater have no objection to its annexation, as recommended by staff, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Evaluation of Bids – College Road Pump Station Replacement (Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater) Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Evaluation of Bids for the College Road Pump Station Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction for the College Road Pump Station Replacement, RFP #23-0001WW, for $580,580.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Teal Construction for the College Road Pump Station Replacement, RFP #23-0001WW, for $580,580, as recommended by staff, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:38 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and unanimously carried. Update from the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) on Membership Priorities (Tim Mullaney, FOP President) Tim Mullaney, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 15 President, stated that he sent a letter on October 7, 2022, to the entire Council. Mr. Mullaney explained that the recent Council action to accept a wage scale instead of some things that they gave up such as some different procedures for retirement dates. Mr. Mullaney stated that he has been told that he is aggressively pushing this, that it is eventually going to come, and that he should just let it come. Mr. Mullaney explained that the issue arises for him, that when he presented this to the FOP for their agreeance in what we were negotiating with the city, it was under the impression that obviously that there was no money to do what we needed in the scale to have that enacted at that point. Mr. Mullaney stated that he continues to have to explain to the membership of the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 29 FOP that they see money being spent in other areas throughout the city when they gave certain things up that could greatly affect how they proceed throughout the rest of their career. Mr. Mullaney stated that he thinks it is great what the city is doing with the wage equity study. Mr. Mullaney explained what sparked this letter was a meeting in September where he sat down with the City Manager, Human Resources Director, and the other union heads in the same room to discuss where they were currently at with the wage equity study. Mr. Mullaney noted that he did the wage equity study for the Police Department, and he knows they were compared with who they were being compared with. Mr. Mullaney stated that he expresses that their mark with equity with this new wage scale is there but that there is another piece of the matter that he must explain to his membership that they are going to continue to watch the city negotiate with other unions. Mr. Mullaney explained that other unions are going to receive raises, possibly receive raises based on this wage equity study before the implementation of this wage scale that they negotiated well before they had any thought or any understanding that this is the action that the city was taking. Mr. Mullaney noted that he thinks this is a great course of action that the city is taking. Mr. Mullaney stated that it still does not help him explain to the membership when, lack of better terms, he sold to them the financial stability of where the city was when they agreed to this wage scale. Mr. Mullaney continued to state that there were items they gave up because it was not able to be in the budget and was not something they could afford. The city, meaning the FOP, watched $550,000 go towards bonuses throughout the city. Mr. Mullaney stated that money that was not in the budget, was money that was found, that was money that was moved around, and that was money that freed up to do something that he thinks was for a great cause. Mr. Mullaney stated that it still shows that if the city wants to do something, they find the money to do it. Mr. Mullaney explained that he has been with the city long enough that he sees that the city has things that they have to do and are costly. Mr. Mullaney further explained that this is what provoked him to send this letter and that he cannot continue to explain to his membership that money is going to continue to go out when they were told that there was no money. Mr. Mullaney stated that is why he put within the letter, that he would ask for the wage scale to get moved up to January 1st of this year and that they voluntarily remove themselves from the wage equity study. Mr. Mullaney noted that for lack of better terms, that study does not matter to them and that it is not going to affect them because they already know where they are in comparison. Mr. Mullaney suggested that they would be able to revisit any type of wage discussions during their normal negotiations in two years. Mr. Mullaney stated that as the FOP president, he must be their voice and stand before the council and ask because he cannot continue to explain to them when they see money going out because the question is to him, where was that money when we agreed? Mr. Mullaney explained that they made it under the understanding in working with the City Manager, Mayor, and Police Chief that they could not afford it. Responding to Mr. Mullaney, Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to offer some information that may help your membership be a little more comfortable with some things. Mr. Anderson explained that the City received some money due to a

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 30 property sale and then they were able to help all the employees. Mr. Anderson stated that they were expecting more, but some sales have not gone through and that he is sure they will piece by piece. Mr. Anderson asked for a little patience, and they do believe that this is one of the great priorities in keeping our city safe and making sure they keep the experienced people that they have. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Mullaney. Mayor Christiansen thanked Mr. Mullaney for his presentation. Mayor Christiansen assured Mr. Mullaney that he, the City Manager, and the Chief, their word is their bond and council has given them the go-ahead to facilitate the request that the FOP made sooner than later. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that the police have been very limited in their ability to replace vehicles now for two years as a function of the supply chain problems and the manufacturing difficulties that they have encountered. Mr. Hugg stated that the police are scheduled for 15 vehicles that they are currently on the manufacturer's list to have built and supplied. Mr. Hugg noted that they are in the budget; they are carryovers from the prior year because they were not replaced last year. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that there were a couple of vehicles that were approved for replacement in this budget year. Mr. Hugg explained that they struck all the vehicles except a couple that was way past their prime and needed to be replaced. Mr. Hugg noted that they are going to be very far behind on the vehicle fleet by next year. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. Sudler offered his observation on their previous budget process and that they deferred a lot of line items that the council highlighted that we put off. Mr. Sudler stated that he believes a lot of those items need to be visited while they are visiting the pay increase and the FOP request because he is very concerned about those line items. Mr. Sudler stated that now that we have a little lead way, we need to get back to those top priorities, and line items in conjunction with the FOP's request. Mr. Hugg stated they have two departments, Planning and Inspections and Parks and Recreation to go through but they are wrapping up a first-quarter budget review with all the departments. Mr. Hugg stated that most of them, fortunately, are close to what was expected and their budgeted amounts. Mr. Hugg explained that the idea was that each quarter they would, take a very hard look at the budget and the revenues. Mr. Hugg further explained that he hopes that by mid-year he will be able to come back to Council and maybe make some budget adjustments. Mr. Hugg noted that perhaps they can do something with the purchase power adjustment clause, but they just need to let that workout. Mr. Hugg stated that when the FOP came to us back in April, they had a seven-and- a-half million-dollar deficit. Mr. Hugg continued to state that they quite honestly had to say to them then that they did not have money. Mr. Hugg noted that they were worried about being able to close the year without going into debt. Mr. Hugg stated when he came to council in late June, they gave council a budget that raised utility rates, raised electric rates, raised property taxes, and had severe cuts in it. Mr. Hugg stated that led him to suggest the opportunity to do something for all our

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 31 employees because there was nothing else left in the budget quite frankly. Mr. Hugg noted that as the Mayor indicated, the agreement is still on their desk and that they are going to honor it as soon as they can. Mr. Hugg stated that they have got to also work their way through some of these wage questions so that they are treating all the employees fairly. Mr. Sudler stated that if they could bring down the electric rate just a little bit as Councilman Boggerty has so eloquently echoed as well as other council persons. Mr. Sudler stated that he thinks that they need to look at our constituents first and foremost because if they are not satisfied, if they cannot pay the bill, then we are all out of a job. Mr. Hugg noted that they need the Police Department, they need the Fire Department, but we need our constituents first and foremost and that they need to get them relief. Mr. Sudler stated that as Councilman Neil has been so passionate about tonight, they need to get relief to our constituents who pay us, we work for them, they do not work for us, and they are starting to feel like they work for us. Councilman Neil noted that we should take care of our constituents and they will take care of us. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that there is a property sale that has not been settled yet, there are factors that they are addressing, and he hopes that it will make our financial situation a lot more comfortable as we get into midyear. Mr. Hugg explained that he and Mr. Anderson have been tracking natural energy, and natural gas prices and they broke $5 downward the other day. Mr. Hugg noted he has not seen them at $5 in a year. Mr. Hugg stated that if they stay there that should start to reflect in some of our energy costs. Mr. Hugg explained that the last two hedge purchases that we have undertaken for energy have been at prices a little bit better than we expected them to be. Mr. Hugg noted that means that they have been more favorable to us than we expected them to be. Mr. Hugg stated that he committed when we did this budget that they were going to track it as closely as they can, and he commended all the departments who are being mindful of their budgets. Mr. Sudler requested a breakdown from Mr. Hugg sooner rather than later because constituents contact them almost daily. Mr. Sudler stated that they do want to make sure our employees have a high job satisfaction rate and are treated fairly across the board. Mr. Sudler thanked Team Dover. Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Amending Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings and Appendix F - Fees and Fines (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning, and Inspections) Ms. Mary Ellen Gray reviewed the background and analysis of the Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 – Amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X. – Rental Dwellings and Appendix F – Fees and Fines.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 32 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Neil stated that he was satisfied with the changes that were made and is appreciative of the efforts that have been made by staff. Mr. Neil moved to remove Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Amending Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings and Appendix F - Fees and Fines (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning, and Inspections) off the table. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried.

Mr. Anderson announced that tonight was the first time that they have heard a little from the employees’ unions. Mr. Anderson stated that they will hear over the next few sessions from each of the employees’ unions by the end of the year to give the council a broader perspective so they can understand what is going on from their perspective in the city. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 33 the City Clerk's Office at 302-736-7008 or cityclerk@dover.de.us. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting on November 28, 2022. Ms. Gray, Director of Planning, explained that follow-up discussions were had with our Customer Service Director, Trish Marney, City Solicitor Nick Rodriguez, and City Manager Hugg regarding whether fees and fines need to be placed on a tax bill in order to be collected through munitions. Mr. Rodriguez indicated that per our Charter Section 28 and the taxation section of the code, any cost owed by the taxpayer which is placed on a municipal lien docket can be used for collection in a munition sale action that is filed. Ms. Gray stated that as a result, they have changed the language in the proposed ordinance to read unpaid fees and fines are to be placed on the municipal lien docket by the city against the property on which the violation occurred. Ms. Gray continued to state that this change, as well as other related changes per Mr. Rodriguez's opinion of the proposed ordinance, are indicated in the yellow highlighted text in Council’s packet. Ms. Gray thanked Director Marney, City Manager Hugg, and City Solicitor Rodriguez for taking the time to review this proposed ordinance and come up with a workable solution that will move the city forward to improving the outcomes of the city’s properties here in the City of Dover. I would also like to thank City Council for their patience as we work through these issues. Mr. Anderson moved to incorporate the staff’s amendments, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: ORDINANCE #2022-10 AMENDING CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL PROVISIONS, SECTION 1- 17 – GENERAL PENALTY; SEPARATE OFFENSES; UNPAID FINES FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2022-14 Council President Sudler reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available on the City's website at www.cityofdover.com under "Government" or by contacting the City Clerk's Office at 302-736-7008 or cityclerk@dover.de.us. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting on November 28, 2022. Ms. Gray explained that it may be helpful to note that the version that was posted in the packet last week was incorrect. Ms. Gray continued to explain that the correct version was posted today. Ms. Gray stated that she has a hard copy of the correct version if anybody would like a hard copy if they did not have a chance. Ms. Gray continued to state that this ordinance clarifies that an inspection is required in order to renew a rental license and raises the fees for rental permits, which helps keep up with the rising costs of inspections and are more in line with other jurisdictions. Ms. Gray noted that this ordinance also requires that property owners, who rent out properties, have property insurance. Ms. Gray explained that per council discussion and direction, at the September 27, 2022, legislative finance and administration committee meeting, when this proposed ordinance was first introduced, this first reading proposes the following changes from the original proposal, which include: deleting the definitions of liability and property insurance, since these definitions are no longer needed, reinstated the original definitions for agent required under Section 22-333, and added that the lessee of a dwelling cannot be the agent for the dwelling they lease, revised the language for the insurance required under the new Section 22-334, and reinstated the safe community ordinance. Ms. Gray stated that she would like to thank City Council for their

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 34 comments, as well as their patience, as they work through these issues. Mr. Neil stated that the synopsis very clearly states the reason why the number of sections dealing with the Safe Communities Leased Addendum had to be struck, because of the conflict with the state law dealing with landlords and tenants. Mr. Neil noted that the fact is, it really was some teeth that the City could use to make sure that the landlords look after their properties, and when they have people who should not be in there, to get rid of them. Mr. Neil stated that he is sorry to see it go. Mr. Neil continued to state that he understands why it is, and he congratulated them on doing a good job of pulling this together, even though they lost this section in the process. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Gray explained that per the discussion at the September 27, 2022, meeting, there was a direction given by council to reinstate the Safe Communities ordinance. It was put back in the ordinance. Council President Sudler stated they had a concern because they know that an eviction of a tenant has to be done by court proceedings. Mr. Sudler continued to state that he thinks that the concern that they had was if it is the same area that they focused on, that if an individual in a residency received three citations, they had to receive a citation from the officer, stating that you have been given a citation for loud music or for vandalism, three times in 12 months, then the landlord would have to evict, or he thinks it was the city would start the eviction process? Mr. Sudler stated that at one point, he thinks that was the beginning of what they were dealing with at one point. Responding to Council President Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that is one of the main concerns and why planning staff had recommended striking this ordinance, due to its, contradiction with the State of Delaware landlord-tenant code. Ms. Gray stated that they are unsure as to how they can enforce that component of this ordinance due to its conflict with the landlord-tenant code. Responding to Council President Sudler, Mr. Hugg clarified this discussion is correct. The issue with the Safe Communities ordinance is the fact that it would violate the state landlord-tenant law in regard to what he mentioned. The solicitor provided an opinion to the city, at least a couple of years ago now, that the city could not actually enforce that ordinance, and to do so would subject the city to potential litigation. Mr. Hugg noted that even though it is on the books, and it does instruct the Chief and himself to take a certain action, they have been advised by legal counsel not to enforce the ordinance. Mr. Hugg stated that is why a couple of times now they have suggested, in spite of its good intentions, it probably ought to be stricken from the code. Mr. Sudler suggested putting some language in, where the property owner could be fined if they do not provide. Mr. Sudler explained that the landlord-tenant code does allow for the property owner to provide a seven-day notice if there is a breach of covenant in the landlord-tenant agreement, if there is a breach of covenant, then they have seven days to cure that defective behavior. Mr. Sudler stated if they do not cure it and it happens again, then the landlord has the right to file in court and they can prove it, but that they have to send a seven-day notice, written notice, certified. Mr. Sudler suggested that the city can require them to send a seven-day notice or urge them to send a seven-day notice that, this person has received three citations in 12 months or whatever and try to encourage them to do a seven-day notice violation. Mr. Sudler noted that failure to do so, if they do not, then maybe the city just fine them with the nuisance ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 35 Mr. Sudler stated it is very similar to what the city adopted when they were dealing with the Elks Lodge, which is a thousand dollars, and it would exceed pending. Mr. Sudler noted that is just his suggestion and that he just wanted to put it on the record. Mr. Anderson stated that this is not really an issue for tonight, because nothing changes in the state of the law. Mr. Anderson continued to state that the purpose of this ordinance was to address certain issues dealing with insurance and rental permits, not to go overboard with other things. Mr. Anderson stated that there is a huge misunderstanding about what the Safe Communities ordinance is and what it requires. Mr. Anderson noted that he thinks some of that seems to be mixing up, like the noise ordinance and its requirements. The Safe Communities ordinance has the landlord's copy of the Safe Communities addendum that every public housing authority has. Mr. Anderson stated that it is not something that was made up, it is not something that the city of Dover decided to take some unique path about. Mr. Anderson stated that it is something that, is in operation right now and that it has been a success. Mr. Anderson stated that is why the late Mr. Pepper and Ann Marie Townsend took a certain model that had already been vetted in the courts. Mr. Anderson explained that what it does is it allows, so now the lease agreement, for the people who accept it and incorporate it into the lease agreements, is presented to the landlords and they have the opportunity, when the lease is renewed, to add this as an addendum. Mr. Anderson stated that the addendum says that the tenant agrees that if their property is used for serious illegal activity and there are three violations within 12 months, then they will be subject to eviction. Mr. Anderson continued to state that if that is violated and that information is given to the police, it protects the landlord. Mr. Anderson explained that the landlord then has the right, which they did not have without it, to go to court and evict the tenant for a breach of the contract. Mr. Anderson stated that it is not the city taking them to court to breach the contract, nor is the city forcing the landlord to do so. Mr. Anderson stated that if the landlord chose not to, then the property would fall under a nuisance property or a disorderly premises, and the rental permits would be broken and discharged. Mr. Anderson stated that it was done in a very specific legal way to avoid the problems that have been discussed and to make sure that we had the authority to do it. Mr. Anderson stated that the city even changed the Charter to allow, which is something different from the last few years, to give the city more jurisdiction, specifically over rental properties and Safe Communities. That was specifically put in the charter change. Mr. Anderson stated that it was not done by accident, it was done very specifically to keep this in mind to make sure the city is allowed to do this addendum. Mr. Anderson continued to state that now that they have done it, as he said before, now they need to take and review everything and make sure everything is workable. Mr. Anderson noted that the city does not do that by repealing it, we do that by later on coming up and doing the smart thing on the agenda, with our legal counsel, and going step-by-step and making sure everything is workable. Mr. Anderson stated that when they operated before, it literally saved neighborhoods. Mr. Anderson stated that they would not have a functioning Hamlet without the Safe Communities ordinance. Mr. Anderson stated that Lincoln Park would not be a functioning community. Mr. Anderson stated that this is something that is important, and we have all, like he said before it is not something we have to deal with tonight, because the point of what the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 14, 2022 PAGE 36 committee did, almost unanimously, was to make sure that the ordinance focused on what it was originally intended to focus on, which was insurance and not everything else under the sun. Ms. Arndt agreed with Councilman Anderson that this is an important issue that needs to be discussed in more detail at a committee meeting so that they can workshop it. Ms. Arndt stated that she would like to hear more from City Solicitor Rodriguez on his opinion, which is a recent opinion. Ms. Arndt stated that she would assume that he had looked at all the recent changes or case law, or what have you. Ms. Arndt noted that she would like to hear more about that. Ms. Arndt stated, that as she recalls, the discussion and the vote at the committee meeting was to decouple this issue from this rental ordinance so that we could move forward with the logistics and making the changes to the fines and fees and then consider the Safe Communities discussion later. Ms. Arndt stated that she does not want to lose sight of that. Ms. Arndt noted that she wants to bring that back to a future committee meeting and discuss that in-depth, but that hopefully, they can move forward tonight. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: ORDINANCE #2022-14 AMENDING CHAPTER 22 – BUILDING AND BUILDING REGULATIONS, ARTICLE X.– RENTAL DWELLINGS ANNEXATION/REZONING REQUEST/FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2022-25 – THREE (3) PROPERTIES LOCATED ON WEST DENNEYS ROAD – 57 ROCKY ROAD OWNED BY GEORGE L.
