SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING A Special Council Meeting was held on September 8, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. with Council President Williams presiding. Council members present were Mr. Carey, Mr. Sadusky, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Ritter, Mr. Hogan, Mr. Salters, and Mr. Ruane. Mr. Pitts was absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Horvath, Mrs. Mitchell, Deputy Fire Chief Osika, Mr. DePrima, Mrs. Green, and Mayor Speed. The invocation was given by Mr. Hogan, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Carey moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried. DISCUSSION - RELIEF FOR HURRICANE AFFECTED STATES Council President Williams stated that the Special Council Meeting had been called to allow Council, as well as the public, to be informed of the National, State, and Local efforts in providing hurricane Katrina relief. It was her hope to avoid another level of bureaucracy and, if necessary, assist in determining how the City can coordinate their efforts. Council President advised members that the Governor is preparing a Declaration of Emergency which will enable the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to send evacuees to Delaware. She noted that the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) is expecting 100 evacuees to arrive at Dover Air Force Base on September 16, 2005. Partnerships are already being formed with the American Red Cross, the Delaware National Guard, Delaware State and Individual Housing Authorities, and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services to provide the platform for services. Council President Williams advised members that any private citizen or organization wishing to make a donation or volunteer services or housing needs should e-mail Mr. Matt Heckles from the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) in Wilmington at KatrinaRelief@dsha.state.de.us. She noted that, as Executive Director of Aid in Dover, she has notified Mr. Heckles that 14 to 16 shelter and transitional living beds are available. Ms. Ami Sebastion-Hauer, Dover Housing Authority, has advised her that 20 beds would be made available in public housing or Section 8. Council President Williams also noted that the United States Department of Health and Social Services Administration for Children and Families is currently collecting data on orphans and displaced children. When the data is collected, those children will be placed throughout the nation. Chief Horvath advised members that the Dover Police Department is unable to send any officer to Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama at this time due to the NASCAR races being held September 23rd through the 25th. He noted that all City officers and numerous officers from throughout Delaware are utilized to manage the 200,000 additional people in the City for race weekend.

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 PAGE 2 Chief Horvath noted that Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) is the conduit for all official requests for resources for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. They are currently requesting that States refrain from sending officers at this time; however, Delaware will compile a group of officers to respond sometime in October. Officers who volunteer will be put on a 14 day rotation with travel days at both ends of the rotation. Chief Horvath stated that he has officers interested in volunteering and he will offer assistance to other departments wishing to send officers to the hurricane affected states. Mr. Steve Sax, Electric Director, stated that the City has a long-term transformer contract with a company in Lowell, Mississippi and he has released 200 transformers being held in stock for the City of Dover for use by the storm victims. He advised members that Delaware Electric Coop sent 30 men, approximately half of their crew, to Mississippi and he has offered to be a backup for them while their crews are gone. Mr. Sax stated that, due to the size of the Electric Department, they could not send a crew to help; however, he has asked DEMEC to coordinate with the City and other municipalities to organize crews to volunteer when it is appropriate. Mr. Sax noted that any expenses related to helping would be reimbursed by FEMA up to approximately 95%. Deputy Fire Chief Osika advised members that, in coordination with DEMA and the National Association of Fire Chief’s, the Fire Department is coordinating any personnel, supplies, turn-out gear, hose, and fire fighting tools to send to volunteer fire departments in need of equipment. He noted that they will send crews of two (2) volunteers once DEMA determines where there is a need. Additionally, the Robbins Hose Company plans to hold a “fill the boot” campaign during the upcoming race weekend to raise funds for the National Volunteer Fire Council to help volunteer fire departments in need. Mr. Salters advised members that Reverend Gloria Cherry will have 18-20 dormitory units available in December. He also called Mr. Joe Burden, a local landlord, who indicated he had four (4) or five (5) units available; however, he may expect to be paid. Mr. Salters stated that he would be happy to help with the coordination of efforts. Mr. Salters suggested that Council members could donate one (1) months pay to the hurricane victims. Mr. Hogan stated that he would be willing to donate one (1) month’s salary. Mr. Slavin stated that he felt charity was a very personal thing and members should agree in principal that they will do what they can. He noted that these people would need help in finding jobs and would need friends and mentors. Mr. Slavin suggested reaching out and adopting one of the families in the community. Council President Williams also noted that grief counseling would probably be necessary for the children. Mr. Ruane felt that the best way to help would be to assist any evacuees that relocate to Dover, either by providing mental health counseling, clothing, City services, etc. He suggested setting aside the vehicles slated for the City’s upcoming public auction and making them available to hurricane victims relocating to Dover.

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 PAGE 3 Mr. Ruane moved to hold the vehicles slated for the auction and make them available to evacuees in the county. The motion was seconded by Mr. Ritter and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). Mr. Hogan suggested that the contact information provided to members should be posted on the website for those interested in donating or volunteering. Mr. Slavin suggested making that information available to the Library and Police Department since they have longer operating hours and may get calls after regular City hours. Mr. Ruane stated that he would like to have a briefing by the Emergency Management Coordinator scheduled in the near future. He indicated that he was deeply concerned that the City’s evacuation plan may not provide for citizens without transportation and he suggested that the City may want to coordinate with the Capital School District to use their buses in the case of an emergency evacuation. Mr. Hogan stated that he would schedule a presentation for the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee. Mr. DePrima advised members that the City would rely heavily on DEMA in catastrophic situations. Mr. Ritter moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Carey and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:43 P.M. JANICE C. GREEN CITY CLERK All orders, ordinances, and resolutions adopted by City Council during their Special Meeting of September 8, 2005, are hereby approved.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on September 12, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Williams presiding. Council members present were Mr. Carey, Mr. Sadusky, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Ritter, Mr. Hogan, Mr. Salters, and Mr. Ruane. Mr. Pitts was absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Horvath, Ms. Russell, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. DePrima, City Solicitor Rodriguez, Mrs. Green, and Mayor Speed. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Williams declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council is not in official session and cannot take formal action. Mr. Richard Schneider, Newark, Delaware, stated Kent County Levy Court recently passed a Resolution opposing the capping of the toxic waste at the duPont Edgemoor site. He noted that, due to public concern, the duPont Company has finally proposed to spend money to clean up their highly toxic production to reduce the toxins. Mr. Schneider stated that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rated the Edgemoor site the number one toxic producing plant in the United States. He also advised members that the duPont Company was recently found liable for damages related to their DeLisle, Mississippi plant. Mr. Schneider stated that his goal was to inform the people about the toxic problems at the plant, clean up the toxic waste that has been produced, and to make duPont clean up the process so they do not produce the toxins. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Carey moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. Mr. Ritter requested that item #9, Confirmation of Anthony DePrima as Acting Director of Planning and Inspections, and item #10, Appointment of Search Committee for Director of Planning and Inspections, be removed from the consent agenda. Mr. Carey moved for approval of the consent agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2005 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of August 22, 2005 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Carey, seconded by Mr. Salters and bore the written approval of Mayor Speed. CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION - FLEISCHER'S BAKERY The following Certificate of Recognition was read into the record by Mayor Speed:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 2 WHEREAS, after World War II Mr. and Mrs. Fleischer opened their first bakery in Rehoboth then moved to Dover in 1956; and WHEREAS, Fleischer’s Bakery has been a trusted and dependable business on Governor’s Avenue in downtown Dover for nearly 50 years; and WHEREAS, since the untimely passing of Mr. Fleischer in 1970, Mrs. Fleischer and her daughters have spent countless hours keeping the family run business open; and WHEREAS, the Fleischer’s commitment to provide delicious, quality baked goods to the citizens of Dover has made Fleischer’s Bakery a landmark in our community; and, WHEREAS, it is deemed an honor and a privilege to present this Certificate of Recognition to Fleischer’s Bakery The City of Dover acknowledges the tremendous contribution the Fleischer Family has made to our community and extends best wishes on all of your future endeavors. Mayor Speed presented Mrs. Fleischer with the Certificate of Recognition and thanked her for all that she has done for the downtown area and the City of Dover. Mrs. Fleischer thanked members for the recognition and credited her husband with starting the bakery, which has been their family’s “home” for many wonderful years. UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 22, 2005 The Utility Committee met on August 22, 2005, with Chairman Carey presiding. Cooperative Agreement with Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) for Voluntary Curbside Recycling In September 2005, the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) will begin offering voluntary curbside recycling in Kent County. This is an expansion of the program that has been active in New Castle County for over a year. In New Castle County there are 4,316 customers using this service, with the average customer recycling 26 lbs. per week. Customers pay $6 per month for the service unless they are served by a waste hauler who partners with the DSWA and offers a discount. Members were provided a letter dated June 13, 2005 from the DSWA requesting that the City of Dover enter into a partnership similar to the partnerships that DSWA has with private haulers in New Castle County. In this proposal, the City of Dover would act as the enrolling and billing agent for the program and, in exchange, the DSWA would reduce the household charge from $6 to $4. The DSWA would run the program, including providing recycling containers and bags, educational and promotional programs, and weekly pickup. The DSWA recycling pickup days would be the same as our trash pickup. Mr. DePrima indicated that a curbside recycling program would probably increase recycling usage in Dover because some residents do not participate using the igloos; however, they would pay for curbside recycling because of its convenience. It is also assumed that more people would use the program if the cost was $4 per month rather than $6 per month. The increased recycling usage will reduce the City's landfill costs. In addition to this savings, there would be five (5) fewer trips taken

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 3 to the landfill, which would reduce gas and truck maintenance costs. It would also save five (5) hours of travel time which allows additional hours of operations in the City. These cost and labor savings would more than make up for the costs involved in enrolling participants and adding the fee to our existing utility bills. Mr. DePrima advised members that the DSWA is willing to offer a pilot program for one year at $4.00 per month for each customer, with the goal of obtaining 500 customers. If that goal is not achieved, the matter will be re-evaluated. The customers will be notified of any price change and will be provided the opportunity to discontinue the service. Mr. DePrima stated that once approved, the City would be responsible for signing up customers and notifying the DSWA to begin recycling pickup. The assigned pickup days for residents will not change, both household and recycle trash will be managed the same day. The committee recommended that the City enter into a cooperative agreement with DSWA for a pilot voluntary curbside recycling program with the rates ($4 per month, per household) being in accordance with the letter dated June 13, 2005, with the understanding that the DSWA would have the option to re-evaluate the pricing only after one (1) year if the minimum customer base of 500 is not achieved, and provide the customers the option to opt out if the price for the service increases. Mr. Carey moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, by consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). Update - Division Street Water Main Upgrade Mr. Koenig provided members an update on the Division Street Water Main Upgrade, explaining that the initial scoping of the project provided for the work to begin at State Street and continue across U.S. 13 to the rear of Edgehill Shopping Center. There was a 16" main installed in the early 1990's that came in from the Water Treatment Plant. Currently there are two (2) older mains in State Street: the original water system main, installed approximately 1881-1883, which remains in service; and 2) a larger diameter main. Both of these lines are cast iron. Staff has been developing a reasonable alignment that would put the new water main in an advantageous location for both the State of Delaware and City of Dover and reduces potential impact from vibration, traffic, etc. Mr. Koenig stated that staff has concluded that with the tightness of the right-of-way and the other utility lines located in the right-of-way, digging work will begin along the southern side, immediately adjacent to the old water line. Once Council approved the time and material contract with George & Lynch, a scoping meeting was held to review the location of the line, estimated construction schedule, and the ability to install the line to be completed before the paving program. All the necessary permits should be obtained by the end of this week to allow construction to proceed. Mr. Koenig advised members that DelDOT wishes to begin the paving project in this area by mid-September. Therefore, it is imperative that the City begin this project immediately, which is what staff has been and will continue to work towards. By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 4 SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT REPORT - AUGUST 23, 2005 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on August 23, 2005, with Chairman Sadusky presiding. Presentation - West Side Recreation Center Study Mr. Zach Carter, Parks and Recreation Director, provided a Power Point presentation of the proposed West Side Recreation Center. Mr. Carter advised members that staff met with various organizations in an effort to inform them of the project and to gain support. He noted that the Greater Dover Committee has been researching quality of life issues, including conducting community focus groups led by trained facilitators. The result of this research identified recreational needs for children and families as one of the greatest priorities for greater Dover. Mr. Carter stated that Kent County Levy Court has set aside $300,000 for this project; Dover Downs has committed to $100,000; and The Longwood Foundation and The Welfare Foundation have awarded $250,000 and $50,000, respectively; however, those funds are contingent upon the City of Dover raising all the funding necessary to allow the project to proceed as planned by December 31, 2005, at which time, if the contingencies have not been met, the City would need to reapply for the funds. Mr. Carter advised members that the goal for the project is approximately $2.9 million, with a secured revenue to date of $1.7 million. The $1.3 million gap can be narrowed to $800,000 by downscaling the building, fund-raising through naming rights and a Community Transportation Fund to pave the parking lot. Staff presented options for the Westside Recreation Center and recommended beginning the design in conjunction with Kent County, reserving $300,000 of the FY05 excess fund balance, evaluating full funding/financing at the mid-year review, further exploring partnerships with Kent County and the Boys and Girls Clubs, and requesting Community Transportation Funds from area legislators. During the committee meeting, Mr. Ritter suggested placing a non-binding question on the ballot for the April 2006 Municipal Election to determine if residents are in favor of the Westside Recreation Center. He stated that he would like to have the support of the constituents before moving forward. Mr. DePrima responded that this concept was designed with respect to the results of the referendum. He stated that the size and cost have been reduced significantly. Mr. Ruane recommended that the project be bonded, with the understanding that the City would dedicate the unbudgeted $400,000 “in lieu of tax” money to this project and that the “in lieu of tax” money would be used as a dedicated funding stream for as many years as needed to pay off the bonded indebtedness. Mr. DePrima stated that it was his understanding that the local legislators would like to have a permanent funding source for the County Seats. He noted that he anticipates $600,000 in “pay in lieu” funds this year.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 5 The committee recommended that the City finance $1M through a bond issue and use $500,000 of this years’ “in lieu of tax” money, with the understanding that the bonded indebtedness would be paid for with $500,000 of the annual “in lieu of taxes” for as many years as necessary to pay it off. Mr. Sadusky moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation. The motion failed for the lack of a second. Mr. Ruane moved to authorize the City Manager to begin design and construction of the West Side Recreation Center, as proposed, and that the Finance Director be directed to solicit proposals for a $500,000 tax exempt loan, backed by a letter of credit, and that the indebtedness be paid with funds received from the State of Delaware for payment in lieu of taxes and that the Finance Director be directed to transfer the pay in lieu of tax receipts to the Parkland Reserve and to budget accordingly for the Revised FY 06 and FY07 budgets. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sadusky. Mr. Ritter moved to amend the motion to place the question of the West Side Recreation Center project on the ballot for the next municipal election as a non-binding referendum. The motion to amend failed for the lack of a second. The motion to authorize the City Manager to begin design and construction of the West Side Recreation Center, as proposed; that the Finance Director be directed to solicit proposals for a $500,000 tax exempt loan, backed by a letter of credit; that the indebtedness be paid with funds received from the State of Delaware for payment in lieu of taxes; and that the Finance Director be directed to transfer the pay in lieu of tax receipts to the Parkland Reserve and to budget accordingly for the Revised FY 06 and FY07 budgets was carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Ritter and Mr. Slavin), and one (1) absent (Mr. Pitts). SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 23, 2005 The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met on August 23, 2005, with Chairman Hogan presiding. Approval of Letter to Secretary Hayward - Delaware Department of Transportation During their Regular Meeting of July 26, 2005, Mr. Gary Laing, DelDOT Municipal Liaison, advised members that Secretary Hayward sent letters to municipalities, counties, chambers of commerce, etc. regarding DelDOT’s current fiscal situation. He noted that Delaware’s rapid growth, along with construction costs escalating at a rate much higher than the consumer price index and traditional funding sources, has strained the State’s resources. Mr. Laing also advised members that DelDOT has not yet received anticipated federal highway funds, which is typically $125M. The committee recommended that City Council respond to the letter submitted by Secretary Hayward dated July 18, 2005, specifically by going on record acknowledging their financial dilemmas and providing a prioritization list of projects for the City of Dover. It was felt that the South Governors Avenue Improvements would be the City’s major concern at this time and that DelDOT should be encouraged to continue maintenance and repair on those State owned roadways located in the City limits.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 6 Members reviewed a draft letter to Secretary Hayward and recommended that it be amended by inviting Secretary Hayward to attend the next committee meeting rather than a representative of his department. The committee recommended approval of the letter, as amended. Mr. Hogan advised members that Council had reviewed and approved the letter; therefore, it would be amended and sent without further action by Council. Briefing on DelDOT Projects - Gary Laing Due to the absence of Mr. Laing, members were provided a written update on DelDOT projects. Members requested Mr. DePrima, City Manager, to determine the status of the special appropriation of Bond Bill money for the signalization project and to ascertain the requirements for the Federal funding 20% match. Review for Endorsements of Projects - Fire Marshal’s Office The Fire Marshal, Mr. David Truax, stated that he was interested in bringing the following issues forward for review: Procedure for Adoption of Fire Codes Currently, the City automatically adopts the National Fire Protection Association Code. Mr. Truax suggested reviewing the Code, especially the sections used frequently by the City, prior to its adoption. Amendment to the Open Burning Ordinance The current ordinance is vague and deals primarily with grills on balconies. Mr. Truax would like to amend the ordinance to deal with outdoor fireplaces and commercial grills. Fines for Hitting Utility Lines Mr. Truax advised members that approximately once a month, a gas line is hit by a contractor. He noted that Title 16 specifies steps that must be taken prior to digging, such as calling Miss Utility to locate buried lines; however, there is no provision for imposing fines when the proper steps are not taken. Mr. Truax also noted that jurisdiction issues are not addressed in Title 16. Automatic External Defibulator (AED) Ordinance Mr. Truax stated that he would like to require places of assembly, both existing and new construction, to have Automatic External Defibulators (AED’s) on the premises in the event that a patron suffers cardiac arrest. He suggested allowing ample time after the ordinance is adopted for businesses to comply. Sprinkling of Townhouses Mr. Truax advised members that he would like to require sprinklers in townhouses. He noted that a townhouse fire usually affects the initial unit, as well as the adjoining units. Mr. Truax stated that an ordinance of this nature would help reduce the time and expense related to the Robbins Hose Company’s response to fires.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 7 Mr. Galvin, Director of Planning and Inspections, stated that some developers are considering the installation of sprinklers in townhouses and using that feature as a marketing tool for their properties. Mr. Truax noted that the City of Newark requires the sprinkling of one and two family residences, townhouses, and commercial properties. Mr. Link suggested mandatory hard-wiring of the sprinklers in townhouses. It was the consensus of members that proposed ordinances could be brought forward for consideration. They requested staff to provide more specific information on the sprinkler issue, such as where sprinklers are currently required, etc. By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). SPECIAL TAX APPEALS COMMITTEE REPORT - SEPTEMBER 6, 2005 The Assessment Appeals Committee met on September 6, 2005. Members present were Councilmen Ruane (Chairman), Salters, and Sadusky. Corrections - Errors in Approved Assessment Register Members reviewed the proposed corrections resulting from errors in the approved assessment register indicating a total adjustment from $29,174,000 to $21,083,200. These figures include two (2) properties which were tabled pending more information as follows: 205 W. Division Street - Original value $185,300, Proposed value $29,800 122-128 W.Division Street - Original value $176,100, Proposed value $31,000 The committee recommended approval of the Corrections - Errors in Approved Assessment Register for the purpose of incorporating the adjustment into the City’s Tax Rolls. By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for acceptance of the Special Tax Appeals Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on September 12, 2005, with Chairman Salters presiding. Evaluation of Bids - Police Station Second Floor Expansion - Server Room HVAC System During the committee meeting held earlier this evening, members considered Evaluation of Bids for the Police Station Second Floor Expansion - Server Room HVAC System. Members were advised that the Police Department is in the process of completing numerous technology upgrades which

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 8 have been in the planning and development stages for many years, including an 800 MHz radio system ($557,264), an upgrade to the 911 telephone system (approximately $481,153), and a new statewide CAD system (statewide cost of $2.7 million for seven of nine 911 centers). These projects are fully funded by grants and are valued at over $1 million. In order to provide adequate infrastructure in terms of space and climate control to support these projects, staff proposed a Second Floor Communications Center as a 2007 CIP project, which would provide a server room to meet this need; however, the current HVAC system is not adequate to handle the additional area designated for the new technology systems and a supplemental system is proposed. Staff was recently notified that the Building Access Control System project (PD0601), which was originally approved in the General Fund for $77,340, will be funded by a grant and are therefore requesting that the money be reallocated to the Second Floor - Communications Center project (PD0603) for a Liebert unit model VH125A-CAE0, HVAC system. The reallocation will allow the Police Department to complete the necessary HVAC work ($62,500). Pricing also includes all control wiring, refrigeration and condensate piping, necessary crane, rigging and supervision, drawing fees, structural and mechanical reviews inspection, all required ductwork (6 return air inlets and 12 supply air outlets), one year warranty from the date of purchase, and a four year limited manufacturer warranty on the refrigeration compressor. The remaining $14,840 of the allocation would be to complete electrical work and fire suppression work originally included in the FY 2007 Second Floor - Communications Center. Staff is requesting that this purchase be made using the sole vendor justification due to the time constraints associated with providing a climate controlled area by September 2005 month's end, costs savings, and continuity of service. The current HVAC service provider is Service Unlimited of New Castle County, the only vendor staff has found certified by Trane to make repairs at a reasonable rate. Supplementing the existing service contract would be more cost effective than adding another service provider and paying for additional Level 1 service. The Police Department requires a Level 1 service contract which provides 365 day emergency service on a priority basis. Staff recommended approval of the reallocation of $77,340 from Project PD0601 (Building Access Control System) to Project PD0603 (Second Floor - Communications Center); approval of Service Unlimited of New Castle as a sole source vendor for installing a Liebert HVAC system for $62,500; and approval of the revised CIP sheets. The committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. Mr. Salters moved for approval of the reallocation of $77,340 from Project PD0601 (Building Access Control System) to Project PD0603 (Second Floor - Communications Center); approval of Service Unlimited of New Castle as a sole source vendor for installing the HVAC system for $62,500; and approval of the revised CIP sheets, as recommended by the committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 9 Evaluation of Bids - Police Station Second Floor Expansion - Police Station Emergency Power Generator During the committee meeting held earlier this evening, members considered the Evaluation of Bids - Police Station Second Floor Expansion - Police Station Emergency Power Generator. Members were advised that eEarlier this spring, staff evaluated the Police Station’s electrical circuitry and loads as part of the planning process for the Second Floor Expansion project; more specifically the requirements imposed for the heating and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as the extra power needed to sustain the 911 communications and Motorola radio rooms located within the new server room area. During this review, it was learned that there would be a significant increase in the electrical load that would have to be carried by the emergency generator. As a result, staff reviewed the existing requirements, validated the current requirements powered by the generator and measured the additional requirements imposed by the new additional space on the second floor. The analysis confirmed that the existing generator is insufficient to carry the full load of all the requirements. Based on the electrical review performed by a City electrician, staff determined that an upgrade in generator models from the 100KW Kohler to a 200KW Kohler generator was necessary and would be more than sufficient to handle the additional planned load imposed by the Second Floor Expansion Project, as well as additional future requirements. This project is the crucial piece in the implementation of the various related radio and computer system projects because this generator provides the backup power to the building during emergency power outages. The 911 dispatch center cannot function properly without power in an emergency situation, so City-wide public safety would be adversely affected if this project is not approved. This project was not included in the City's Capital Investments Program (CIP) because it was not known until May 2005 that the current generator could not support the additional emergency power requirements of the building. Staff advised members that there is an excess of approximately $50,000 in Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) grant funds available that could be redirected for this emergency equipment purchase. In addition, staff is working on securing the balance of the funds from this source for this project. In the event that this funding source is unavailable, other grant funding alternatives would be pursued. Staff is certain that no City funds will be needed for this purchase; however, a slight increase in maintenance and utilities costs is expected. Staff requested bids based on the following basic specifications for the generator and this project: Replacing the existing 100KW Kohler natural gas standby generator with a new 200KW Kohler natural gas standby generator and modifying, upgrading, or replacing existing generator support facilities as required. The contractor, in coordination with the Police Department, will disconnect and remove the existing generator and place the generator on a trailer supplied by the City for use elsewhere in the City. The contractor will provide a temporary standby generator during the period the existing standby generator is disconnected until the new generator is installed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 10 Staff requested quotes from three different vendors; however, all proposals are now being reworked to include "Statement of Work" specifications. Therefore, a specific vendor cannot be selected at this time. Staff recommended, due to time constraints, approval of the project and its implementation and authorization to allow the Police Department to select one of the vendors once the final bids are received, not to exceed $126,182 of grant funding. The committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. Mr. Salters moved for approval of the project and its implementation and authorization to allow the Police Department to select one of the vendors once the final bids are received, not to exceed $126,182 of grant funding as recommended by the committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hogan and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). Mr. Salters moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration committee’s report, seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried. EVALUATION OF BIDS - REQUEST TO PURCHASE - 25 CUBIC YARD SELF CONTAINED LEAF VACUUM The Department of Public Works is requesting to purchase one (1) 25 Cubic Yard Self Contained Leaf Vacuum through the City's Purchasing Agent. This equipment will be mounted on an existing truck chassis to be used for the leaf collection operation. Bids were received as follows: Company Location Model Bid Amount ODB Richmond, VA ODB, Model SCL800SM $28,067.00 Granturk Equipment Co. Bridgeport, PA Giant Vac $24,840.00 Based on a review of the bids, the Department of Public Works is recommending rejection of the low bid and acceptance of the second low bid. The low bid unit does not meet the unit specified in several areas. Staff recommended awarding a purchase order to ODB in the amount of $28,067 for the purchase of one (1) 25 Cubic Yard Self Contained Leaf Vacuum. Staff will prepare a budget amendment to move $67 from another project or purchase to bring this purchase within budget. Currently, all of the City’s leaf collection equipment is supplied by ODB, and staff's recommendation is based upon the City’s operating history with the ODB leaf vacuum unit, as well as providing continuity of stocking parts for repairs to the unit, availability of purchasing parts for the ODB fleet, continuity in training from the City's Fleet Maintenance staff, and the ability to have outside repairs for the ODB fleet done locally. Mr. Carey moved to award a purchase order to ODB in the amount of $28,067 for the purchase of one (1) 25 Cubic Yard Self Contained Leaf Vacuum, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sadusky and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 11 EVALUATION OF BIDS - GENERIC SUBDIVISION SIGN FOUNDATIONS The City of Dover Department of Public Works has overseen the construction of a number of subdivision signs over the past several years. Staff created a generic template for these signs and the associated foundation and brickwork. In July 2005, a bid package was prepared for a multi-year contract to construct signs that are being funded by area legislators. The bid package included four locations for Fiscal Year 2006; however, the bid evaluation is based on the unit price offered by the contractor. Only one (1) contractor submitted a bid for the work. The sole bidder was Falasco Masonry, Inc. from Camden, Delaware. The unit price bid was $5,470 for Fiscal Year 2006. The bid can be extended into Fiscal Year 2007 and Fiscal Year 2008 by adding a 5% increase to the unit price for material and other associated costs. Staff is requesting approval of the unit price for this work due to the fact that area legislators may fund more than the original four locations, and the expectation is to spend more than $25,000 if additional locations are funded. In addition, exercising the option years would make the value of this contract more than $25,000. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Falasco Masonry, Inc. to construct generic subdivision sign foundations for a unit price of $5,470 for Fiscal Year 2006 and to authorize staff to exercise the option years for Fiscal 2007 and 2008 for an increase of 5% per year for materials and other associated costs. Mr. Carey moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sadusky and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). CONFIRMATION OF ANTHONY DEPRIMA AS ACTING DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND INSPECTIONS Due to the absence of a Director of Planning and Inspections, Council President Williams recommended that Mr. DePrima, City Manager, be appointed as Acting Director to oversee the department until a Director is hired. Mr. Ritter felt that the City Manager should not be required to assume additional responsibilities. He reminded members that during previous similar circumstances, Ms. Melson had served as the Acting Director and that she did an excellent job. Mr. Ritter moved to appoint Ms. Dawn Melson as Acting City Planner. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Ruane noted that the City Manager has provided an interim plan for the Planning and Inspections Department and felt that Mr. DePrima has planned appropriately, explaining that the City Manager’s role would be minimal in the everyday activities. Mr. DePrima advised members that Ms. Melson is doing an excellent job. Due to the fact that she is currently the only planner in the department and will be providing assistance in training a new planner, it would not be reasonable to assign her the interim position as well.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 12 Mr. Hogan moved to confirm Mr. Anthony DePrima as the Acting Planning Director during the interim period until a director is selected. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey and carried with seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Ritter), and one (1) absent (Mr. Pitts). APPOINTMENT OF SEARCH COMMITTEE FOR DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND INSPECTIONS - COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILLIAMS, COUNCILMEN HOGAN, RUANE, AND SALTERS, AND MAYOR SPEED With the recent resignation of Mr. Galvin, it is necessary to appoint a Search Committee for the Director of Planning and Inspections. Council President Williams had requested volunteers from members. As a result of the responses received, Council President Williams requested that in addition to herself, the Councilmen Hogan, Ruane, and Salters, and Mayor Speed serve on the Search Committee for the Director of Planning and Inspections. Mr. Ritter moved to have the top three (3) candidates interviewed by the full council, seconded by Mr. Carey and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). Mr. Hogan moved to approve the appointment of the Search Committee for a Director of Planning and Inspections, seconded by Mr. Sadusky and unanimously carried. APPOINTMENTS BY MAYOR SPEED Downtown Dover Development Corporation - Dover Parking Authority Representative - Thomas Smith (To Fill the Unexpired Term of Lyle Demarie) - Term to Expire April 23, 2006 Mayor Speed requested the appointment of Mr. Thomas Smith to the Downtown Dover Development Corporation, as the Dover Parking Authority Representative, to fill the unexpired term of Lyle Demarie (term to expire April 23, 2006). By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for approval of the appointment of Mr. Thomas Smith to the Downtown Dover Development Corporation, as the Dover Parking Authority Representative, as recommended by Mayor Speed. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). Dover MPO Public Advisory Commission - Reappointment of Prameela Kaza - Two (2) Year Term to Expire July 2007 Mayor Speed requested the reappointment of Ms. Prameela Kaza to the Dover MPO Public Advisory Commission for a two (2) year term to expire July 2007. By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for approval of the reappointment of Ms. Prameela Kaza to the Dover MPO Public Advisory Commission, as recommended by Mayor Speed. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Pitts absent). COUNCIL MEMBERS COMMENTS There were no Council Member comments.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on September 12, 2005, at 5:30 p.m. with Chairman Salters presiding. Members present were Mr. Hogan, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Shevock, and Mr. Shelton. Members of Council present were Mr. Carey, Mr. Sadusky, Mr. Ruane, and Council President Williams. Mayor Speed was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hogan moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Police Station Second Floor Expansion - Server Room HVAC System The Police Department is in the process of completing numerous technology upgrades which have been in the planning and development stages for many years, including an 800 MHz radio system ($557,264), an upgrade to the 911 telephone system (approximately $481,153), and a new statewide CAD system (statewide cost of $2.7 million for seven of nine 911 centers). These projects are fully funded by grants and are valued at over $1 million. In order to provide adequate infrastructure in terms of space and climate control to support these projects, staff proposed a Second Floor Communications Center as a 2007 CIP project, which would provide a server room to meet this need; however, the current HVAC system is not adequate to handle the additional area designated for the new technology systems and a supplemental system is proposed. Staff was recently notified that the Building Access Control System project (PD0601), which was originally approved in the General Fund for $77,340, will be funded by a grant and are therefore requesting that the money be reallocated to the Second Floor - Communications Center project (PD0603) for a Liebert unit model VH125A-CAE0, HVAC system. The reallocation will allow the Police Department to complete the necessary HVAC work ($62,500). Pricing also includes all control wiring, refrigeration and condensate piping, necessary crane, rigging and supervision, drawing fees, structural and mechanical reviews inspection, all required ductwork (6 return air inlets and 12 supply air outlets), one year warranty from the date of purchase, and a four year limited manufacturer warranty on the refrigeration compressor. The remaining $14,840 of the allocation would be to complete electrical work and fire suppression work originally included in the FY 2007 Second Floor - Communications Center. Staff is requesting that this purchase be made using the sole vendor justification due to the time constraints associated with providing a climate controlled area by September 2005 month's end, costs savings, and continuity of service. The current HVAC service provider is Service Unlimited of New Castle County, the only vendor staff has found certified by Trane to make repairs at a reasonable rate. Supplementing the existing service contract would be more cost effective than adding another service provider and paying for additional Level 1 service. The Police Department requires a Level 1 service contract which provides 365 day emergency service on a priority basis. Staff recommended approval of the reallocation of $77,340 from Project PD0601 (Building Access Control System) to Project PD0603 (Second Floor - Communications Center); approval of Service Unlimited of New Castle as a sole source vendor for installing a Liebert HVAC system for $62,500; and approval of the revised CIP sheets.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 2 Mr. Slavin moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shelton and unanimously carried. It was noted that, due to time constraints, staff requested that this matter be considered during the Council Meeting later this evening for final approval. Evaluation of Bids - Police Station Second Floor Expansion - Police Station Emergency Power Generator Earlier this spring, staff evaluated the Police Station’s electrical circuitry and loads as part of the planning process for the Second Floor Expansion project; more specifically the requirements imposed for the heating and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as the extra power needed to sustain the 911 communications and Motorola radio rooms located within the new server room area. During this review, it was learned that there would be a significant increase in the electrical load that would have to be carried by the emergency generator. As a result, staff reviewed the existing requirements, validated the current requirements powered by the generator and measured the additional requirements imposed by the new additional space on the second floor. The analysis confirmed that the existing generator is insufficient to carry the full load of all the requirements. Based on the electrical review performed by a City electrician, staff determined that an upgrade in generator models from the 100KW Kohler to a 200KW Kohler generator was necessary and would be more than sufficient to handle the additional planned load imposed by the Second Floor Expansion Project, as well as additional future requirements. This project is the crucial piece in the implementation of the various related radio and computer system projects because this generator provides the backup power to the building during emergency power outages. The 911 dispatch center cannot function properly without power in an emergency situation, so City-wide public safety would be adversely affected if this project is not approved. This project was not included in the City's Capital Investments Program (CIP) because it was not known until May 2005 that the current generator could not support the additional emergency power requirements of the building. Staff advised members that there is an excess of approximately $50,000 in Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) grant funds available that could be redirected for this emergency equipment purchase. In addition, staff is working on securing the balance of the funds from this source for this project. In the event that this funding source is unavailable, other grant funding alternatives would be pursued. Staff is certain that no City funds will be needed for this purchase; however, a slight increase in maintenance and utilities costs is expected. Staff requested bids based on the following basic specifications for the generator and this project: Replacing the existing 100KW Kohler natural gas standby generator with a new 200KW Kohler natural gas standby generator and modifying, upgrading, or replacing existing generator support facilities as required. The contractor, in coordination with the Police Department, will disconnect and remove the existing generator and place the generator on a trailer supplied by the City for use elsewhere in the City.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 3 The contractor will provide a temporary standby generator during the period the existing standby generator is disconnected until the new generator is installed. Staff requested quotes from three different vendors; however, all proposals are now being reworked to include "Statement of Work" specifications. Therefore, a specific vendor cannot be selected at this time. Bids were received as follows: U.S. Tech - $104,081 – This vendor has dealt with the Electric Department in the past and has apparently worked out well. Staff has been advised that this is an “open ended” bid which would reward the contractor for being late. Electric Unlimited Inc. - $122,134 - They are the electric side of the company who we are trying to get sole vendor source justification on for the HVAC. It is a known vendor with a good reputation and has been working well with us and for us. Deltronics - $126,182 – This vendor is unfamiliar to the Police Department. Chief Horvath thanked Mr. Mike Adkins and Mr. Bill Morrow of the 436th Civil Engineering Squadron, Dover Air Force Base, for their pro bono assistance in writing the technical specifications for this project, as well as evaluating the project proposals received from all three vendors. Chief Horvath noted that he sincerely appreciated their expert assistance with this project and thanked Dover Air Force Base for allowing their support to the department. Staff recommended, due to time constraints, approval of the project and its implementation and authorization to allow the Police Department to select one of the vendors once the final bids are received, not to exceed $126,182 of grant funding. Mr. Hogan moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. It was noted that, due to time constraints, staff requested that this matter be considered during the Council Meeting later this evening for final approval. Revenue Forecasting - Mock Report During their Regular Meeting of August 8, 2005, the committee considered Revenue Forecasting and opportunities for improving forecasting for revenues. Members suggested that staff provide quarterly Revenue Forecast Reports to be reviewed by members of Council during their first Meetings in the months of October, January, April, May, and June. For the first three meetings, the reports would contain information on the previous quarter and then be reviewed on a monthly basis just prior to and during the budget review. The reports would be presented directly to Council and would provide members the opportunity to give staff direction for developing the next year’s revenue projections. Prior to scheduling the presentation of the reports to Council, members requested that staff develop a mocked up report based on the committee discussions, utilizing real time figures, to be presented to the committee at their next meeting. It was suggested that staff include footnotes giving explanations for any increases or decreases for further clarification.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 4 Mrs. Mitchell, Finance Director, reviewed with members the Mock Revenue Forecasting Report. The committee took no further action. (City Clerk’s Office Note: These reports will be scheduled to be presented to members of City Council during their first meetings in the months of October, January, April, May, and June). Code Review - Chapters 1-5 - Amendments Members began a Comprehensive Review of the City Code of Ordinances. The City Clerk, Mrs. Green, explained that the process for the reviews will include members of City Council, committee members, department and division heads, as well as secretaries/administrative assistants. The City Clerk will provide Sections of the Code for their review and recommendations in advance of the committee meeting to allow for one document, to be inclusive of all recommendation and comments to be provided to members for their review. Once the committee has conducted their review and has made recommendations, the City Clerk's Office will prepare the necessary ordinance amendments which will be presented as attachments to the committee minutes when reported to City Council for their approval. The ordinances would then be presented to Council for a First Reading, and then forwarded for the Final Reading and adoption. The City Clerk provided recommendations for amending Chapters 1-5 of the Dover Code. After consulting with the Finance Director/Treasurer, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Green requested that the recommendation to delete Division 4 - Finance Director, of Chapter 2 - Administration, Article IV - Officers and Employees, be removed. Staff recommended approval of the Proposed Amendments to Chapters 1-5 of the Dover Code, as amended. Mr. Ruane noted that the Model City Charter contained wording that would be very appropriate for use during the review of the Code. He stated that it would be helpful to have a parallel column comparing the City’s current Code with the recommendations in the Model City Charter and recommended that action not be finalized until members review the comparable sections in the Model City Charter. Mrs. Green reminded members that the 2005 Charter Review Committee was in the process of reviewing the Charter and that the LF&A Committee was reviewing the Code. Mr. Ruane felt that the Charter Review Committee will find that many items in the Charter would be more appropriately placed in the Code since it is easier to amend the Code than the Charter. He also noted that there are rules regarding the conduct of meetings, executive sessions, etc., that there is no reference to in the Charter or Code that he felt should be included. Responding, Mr. Slavin noted that the examples provided regarding open meetings, executive sessions, etc., are mandated by State law and felt that the City should refrain from including repetitive requirements. Mrs. Green suggested at this time, since the City recently completed a recodification of the Code of Ordinances, that members review the Code to amend those items, such as the typographical errors and items which conflict with current policies and procedures. Once the Charter Review Committee has completed their review and Council has acted on their recommendations, then perhaps there would be a need to consider further Code amendments.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 PAGE 5 Mr. Hogan noted that the proposed amendments to Chapter 1-5 of the Code are minor. He suggested that staff include these amendments with the next scheduled set of amendments to be presented to members for consideration during their next meeting. This would allow additional time for those that did not have an opportunity to review these Chapters and submit their comments. Mr. Hogan moved to defer action on Chapters 1 - 5 of the Code until the next meeting, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Mr. Slavin moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Shelton and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:16 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Reuben Salters Chairman RS/jg/tm S:\ClerksOffice\Agendas&Minutes\Committee-Minutes\2005\09-12-2005 LF&A.wpd

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting was held on September 13, 2005, at 12:00 p.m. with Chairman Sadusky presiding. Members present were Mr. Ruane, Mr. Long, and Mr. Truitt. Mr. Pitts was absent. Mr. Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Ruane moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Truitt and unanimously carried. Neighborhood Open Space - Stratford Place Apartments: Request for Partial Cash-in-Lieu of Recreation Area Construction In accordance with Article 5, Section 10, Subsection 10.16 of the Zoning Code, all residential developments shall provide recreational areas in a size equal to 275 square feet per dwelling unit, or one-half acre of land, whichever is greater. However, in no case shall the City require more than 10% of the gross area of the development be so dedicated or reserved when the gross area is greater than five (5) acres. Members reviewed an active recreation plan and a request for cash-in-lieu of recreation area for the Stratford Place Apartments, located on the south side of North Little Creek Road between Acorn Lane and SR1, which consists of three apartment buildings; a total of (72) dwelling units, on 4.7+/- acres. Ms. Melson of the Planning and Inspections Department reviewed the Active Recreation Plan, noting that the plan proposes an area of open space totaling 0.2382 acres. The Plan includes a playground structure, swing set, benches, horseshoe pits, and an open lawn area. Due to the space available on the development parcel and the number of units within the apartment complex, the applicant is requesting the opportunity to make a cash donation in lieu of a portion of the required Active Recreation Area. Members reviewed a Summary Appraisal Report for the property at 1462 North Little Creek Road, which identifies the final value estimate of the property to be $101,000 per acre. According to the City Tax Assessor’s Office, the property was reassessed at $75,750.00 per acre. For the .5 acres of land that is required for this area, the request is to provide 0.2382 acres for the Active Recreation Area and offer a cash-in-lieu donation for the remaining 0.2617 acres, which would result in a cash donation in the amount of $26,431.70. Staff recommended approval of the following for the Active Recreation Plan and Request for Cash-in-Lieu of Recreation Area Construction (woodland, wetland, and stormwater facilities): 1. As related to the recreation area components to be constructed: a. Change the placement of at least one of the benches near the horseshoe pits to a location in closer proximity to the sidewalk (accessible path). b. Add or relocate evergreen landscape plantings to create a barrier between the west side of the stormwater management facility and the playground area. A fence could also be added to separate these two areas. c. Adjust placement of Red Maple trees to create a large open lawn area in the southwest corner of the property. An adjustment in the tree placement could

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 PAGE 2 provide increased opportunities for shading of the benches near the playground area and the horseshoe pits area. 2. The applicant should be aware of the requirements for construction phasing of the recreation area as associated with the development of the residential units. Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling units completed, except that one hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space areas shall be completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20) percent of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be issued for dwelling units unless the requirements of this section are met. 3. Staff recommended approval of a cash donation of $26,431.70 in lieu of Recreation Area construction for the remaining 0.2617 acres (11,402 S.F.) required to meet the 0.5 acre minimum. Article 5 §10.175 Payment of Cash Donation. One hundred (100) percent cash donation provided under this section shall be collected prior to issuing the first building permit for the development. 4. There shall be provisions which insure that the common open space land shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained. These provisions shall be in a form acceptable to the City of Dover. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such open land; or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common open space i.e. a Homeowners Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on the common open space. Responding to Mr. Ruane’s question on fencing for the stormwater management pond or enclosing the playground area, Mr. Jones from Becker Morgan Group, Inc. agreed with the Public Works Director, Mr. Koenig, that the fencing would become an aesthetic and maintenance issue. Although staff is currently reviewing the possibility of an ordinance amendment that would require fencing around stormwater ponds for safety reasons, Mr. Ruane noted that, in addition to serving a purpose, stormwater ponds were also considered a community feature. As traveling through the City, he has observed aesthetic problems with the stormwater ponds and questioned if staff had any ideas to remedy these problems. Responding, Mr. Koenig indicated that he recently attended a stormwater management presentation and suggested that the information be provided to members at a future meeting. Mr. Ruane moved to recommend approval of the Neighborhood Open Space - Stratford Place Apartments: Request for partial cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction, as well as the staff recommendations contained in the report. The motion was seconded by Mr. Long and unanimously carried. Mr. Ruane moved to recommend that members be provided a presentation on stormwater management by the Public Works Director at a future meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Long and unanimously carried.

TIMETABLE: Issue award letter on Tuesday, September 27, 2005, pending Council approval. Delivery expected no later than 60 days from receipt of the purchase order by the vendor. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award a purchase order to Atlantic Machinery, Inc. in the amount of $123,017.00 for the purchase of one (1) Diesel Powered Municipal Street Sweeper. Authorize staff to transfer $4,362.00 in savings from vehicle purchase in Sanitation Division to offset part of the funding gap as well as transfer funds from line item #110-1800-554.20-26 (Program Expenses) in the Streets Division to cover the referenced funding gap and to insure line item compliance with this purchase. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Department of Public Works prepared a bid package and solicited sealed bids through the City’s Purchasing Agent. Bids were opened on Thursday, August 18, 2005, at 2:00 p.m. The following vendors submitted bids: Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems Easton, MD Base Bid - $120,974.00 Unit with Options - $125,047.12 Atlantic Machinery Inc. Silver Spring, MD Base Bid - $122,461.00 Unit with Options - $123,017.00 Based on a review of the bids, the Department of Public Works is recommending award of a purchase order to Atlantic Machinery, Inc. since its unit meets the specifications published by the Department of Public Works. The cost of this unit was higher due to increased raw materials costs since this item was introduced into the draft budget a number of months ago. This purchase is critical to the function of this division since street sweeping is an important part of our NPDES Stormwater Phase II permit compliance. In addition, street sweeping services received very complimentary remarks in the most recent Citizen Survey.
