(The First Reading of the ordinances will take place during the latter part of the meeting). PROPERTY ASSESSMENT APPEALS REPORT/PUBLIC HEARINGS The Assessment Appeals Committee met from on May 18, 2004. Members present were Councilmen Ruane (Chairman), Salters, and Sadusky. Mr. Ruane relayed appreciation to Mr. Diego Saminez from Tyler Technologies, who assisted the committee with the appeal hearings, as well as the assistance provided by Ms. Russell, Assistant Tax Assessor, and the City Clerk’s Office, particularly Mrs. Clendaniel. Mr. Ruane advised members that the process of reviewing tax appeals included an informal review conducted by staff, and a formal review before the Property Assessment Appeals Committee, that numerous tax appeals were received and that the committee extended the hearings through June 17, 2005; therefore, additional property assessment appeals will be forthcoming to Council during their meeting of June 27, 2005. He also indicated that based on the comments received during the hearings, the City should consider conducting a comprehensive evaluation of property, which would consist of actual visits to the sites and review of structure interiors. Mr. Ruane explained that the Stipulated Values Report is a result of the property owner providing

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 5 documentation to the committee that justifies an adjustment to the property value and is an indication that the property owner concurs with the adjustment recommended by the committee. Mr. Ruane reviewed the 2005 Tax Appeals Hearing Report as of June 2, 2005 for the Stipulated Values, which provides for a total adjustment from $154,734,670 to $114,242,900, and the Tax Exemptions for Capitol Baptist Church, Capital Grange No. 18, and Holy Trinity Church. Mr. Ruane moved for approval of the Stipulated Values as of June 2, 2005 as recommended by the 2005 Property Assessment Appeals Committee for the purposes of incorporating the adjustments into the City’s Tax Rolls (Exhibit #1). The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Ruane moved for approval of the Exemptions as of June 2, 2005 as recommended by the 2005 Property Assessment Appeals Committee for the purposes of incorporating the exemptions into the City’s Tax Rolls (Exhibit #2). The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Ruane explained that if a property owner remains dissatisfied with the recommendation of the Property Assessment Appeals Committee’s recommendation, the appellant is provided an additional opportunity to present their case during a public hearing before City Council. Considering the process that has been provided to appellants for hearing their case, and after consulting with the Deputy City Solicitor, Mr. Ruane stated that the Committee recommended that the City provide rules for the public hearing to be held before City Council, as follows: Appellants who have gone before the Board of Tax Appeals and wish to present further information and appeal to the City Council on June 27, 2005 may do so under the following conditions: a. They must submit to the City Clerk by 12:00 p.m. on June 22, 2005 a written summary of why they are appealing to City Council and a certified appraisal not more than 30 days old, which was not considered by the Board of Tax Appeals. b. They will be given 3 minutes to speak to Council on June 27, 2005. Mr. Ruane moved for approval of Rules for the Tax Appeals Hearings to be held before City Council on June 27, 2005, as recommended by the Property Assessment Appeals Committee, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Members of the Property Assessment Appeals Committee reiterated the need for the City to consider beginning a Comprehensive Assessment of Properties within the City to provide for a true and just property assessment for the City of Dover.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 6 UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - MAY 23, 2005 The Utility Committee met on May 23, 2005 with Chairman Carey presiding. Puncheon Run Pumping Station Upgrades The FY-2005 Operating Budget for the Public Works Wastewater Management Division included a capital project to upgrade the existing Puncheon Run Pumping Station. The upgrade includes the replacement of the existing pumps and piping, installation of new electrical equipment and controls, installation of a new HVAC system, bypass pumping and miscellaneous building improvements. The low bid was received from C&D Contractors, Inc., Wilmington, Delaware, in the amount of $951,290. During the committee meeting, members were advised that funds allocated for the U.S. 13 East Interceptor Sewer Project will be reassigned for this project. Since partial funding for the U.S. 13 East Interceptor Sewer Project was provided by a bond issue in 2003, to change the use of these bond funds from the U.S. 13 Interceptor Sewer Project to the Puncheon Run Pumping Station Upgrade, a resolution to amend bond documents will be required. Staff recommended approval of the low bid submitted by C&D Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $951,290 for the construction of the Puncheon Run Pumping Station Upgrades and authorizing the Finance Director to prepare a bond resolution for Council consideration to amend the projects to be funded with the 2003 bond issues. The estimated total construction cost associated with the project is $1,061,290. The committee recommended approval of staff's recommendation for awarding the construction contract to C & D Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $951,290 for the construction of the Puncheon Run Pumping Station Upgrades; to authorize staff to negotiate an engineering services agreement with Whitman Requardt & Associates to provide technical review of shop drawings, attend monthly construction meetings and answer all technical interpretation of the design and construction drawings (the estimated costs of these services will be $60,000. A separate agreement will be brought to Council for formal authorization); to authorize funding in the amount of $50,000 for a construction contingency for change orders, which represents 5.25% of the low bid; and to authorize the Finance Department to prepare a bond resolution for Council consideration to amend the projects to be funded with the 2003 bond issue. By consent agenda, Mr. Carey moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Salters and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION WHICH AUTHORIZED THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF UP TO $10,285,000 IN WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS OF THE CITY OF DOVER (SERIES 2003) WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 158, Volume 36, Laws of Delaware, as amended (the "City Charter") and Chapter 111, Volume 52, Laws of Delaware, as amended (collectively, the “Enabling Acts”), The City of Dover (the “City”) is authorized to issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing and refinancing improvements to its water and sewer systems;

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 7 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Enabling Acts, the City Council (the “Council”) adopted a Resolution on February 27, 1989 (the “Original Resolution”) and pursuant to the Enabling Acts and the Original Resolution, the Council adopted Supplemental Resolutions on April 14, 2003 and October 13, 2003 (the “2003 Supplemental Resolutions”), authorizing the issuance of up to $10,285,000 of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds (the “Series 2003 Bonds”) to refinance certain outstanding bonds and to finance certain new water and sewer capital projects (the “2003 Projects”); WHEREAS, the 2003 Supplemental Resolutions identified the 2003 Projects as $600,000 for the Division Street Water Main Upgrade and $1,000,000 for the U. S. 13 East Sanitary Sewer Interceptor (the “U.S. 13 Project”); WHEREAS, Council has determined to redirect the $1,000,000 of the bond proceeds originally expected to be applied to the U.S. 13 Project to the Puncheon Run Pump Station project (“Puncheon Run Project”) instead; WHEREAS, the Original Resolution provides that it can be amended without the consent of the Bondholders in order to cure any “…formal defect contained in the Bond Resolution, if that cure does not, in the judgment of the Council, adversely affect the interest of the Bondholders.” and WHEREAS, the redirection of these funds will not adversely affect the interest of the Bondholders since (i) the funds will be redirected to a qualified project; (ii) the reserve account balance is equal to the Maximum Annual Debt Service on all outstanding bonds; (iii) the engineer’s report in 2003 that projected that the net revenues would exceed the 1.20 coverage ratio in fiscal year 2004 has not been affected and the rate covenant and 1.20 coverage ratio projected by the engineer’s report have been satisfied; and (iv) the resulting financial impact will be positive because it will result in a reduction of maintenance expenses at Puncheon Run Project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by Council of the City of Dover, Delaware as follows (at least three fourths of all members thereof concurring therein): 1. The 2003 Supplemental Resolutions are hereby amended to change the definition of “2003 Projects” to include “or any other water or sewer capital projects approved by City Council”. Council further determines to use $1,000,000 of the Series 2003 Bond proceeds for the Puncheon Run Pump Station rather than the U.S. 13 East Sanitary Sewer Interceptor. Council finds that the aforesaid amendment to the definition of the “2003 Projects” is a correction of a formal defect in the Supplemental Resolutions and such amendment will not adversely affect the interest of the Bondholders. 2. The City Clerk shall forthwith cause to be published once in a newspaper published in the City a notice in substantially the following form: “NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of The City of Dover, Delaware, on June 13, 2005, pursuant to Chapter 111, Volume 52, Delaware Laws, as amended, adopted a resolution entitled as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 8 RESOLUTION AMENDING THE RESOLUTION WHICH AUTHORIZED THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF UP TO $10,285,000 IN WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS OF THE CITY OF DOVER (SERIES 2003)’ The purpose of the resolution is to amend the description of the Projects to be funded from the proceeds of the sale of the above referenced Bonds and to redirect $1,000,000 of bond proceeds from the U. S. 13 East Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Project to the Puncheon Run Pump Station Project. Any action or proceeding to contest the validity of said resolution or any of its provisions must be commenced within thirty (30) days after the publication of this notice. After the expiration of such period of limitation, no right of action or defense founded upon the invalidity of said resolution or any of its provisions shall be asserted, nor shall the validity of said resolution or any of its provisions be open to question in any court upon any ground whatever, except in an action or proceeding commenced within such period. By order of the City Council of The City of Dover, Delaware. 3. The Mayor and Finance Director shall give notice to the Bond Insurer pursuant to the Bond Insurance Provisions related to the Series 2003 Bonds that require notice of any amendment to the Bond Resolution that does not require Bondholder consent. 4. The Mayor, Finance Director and Clerk of Council are hereby authorized and directed to take all action deemed by them as necessary and appropriate to carry out the intent of this resolution. 5. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor. PASSED AND ADOPTED on the 13th day of June, 2005 Time and Material Contract - George & Lynch, Inc. In July 2004, Kent County Levy Court approved a low bid from George & Lynch, Inc. for a general labor and equipment contract, also known as a time and materials contract. In accordance with Section 3.3 (J) of the City of Dover Purchasing Policy, “The City of Dover is permitted to use state, county, municipal, and other government or private company contracts to purchase material once it has been determined that the procedures outlined within this policy will not be violated. Any deviation from this policy for the purpose of cooperative purchasing must be approved by the City Manager prior to entering into any purchase agreement”. Since there have been a number of bidders on various projects during the current bidding environment, staff requested consideration of several projects to be constructed using the labor, materials, and equipment charges identified in the low bid from George & Lynch, Inc., as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 9 Location Remaining/Proposed Project Budget Division Street Water Main Upgrade $598,340.00 (FY-2005) U.S. 13 East Interceptor Sewer Main - Segment 1 $247,542.55 (FY-2005) White Oak Farms Pump Station Force Main Rerouting $160,000.00 (FY-2006) Kings Highway Sewer Diversion Project $ 60,000.00 (FY-2006) George & Lynch, Inc. has offered to extend the low bid unit prices for labor, materials and equipment to the City through December 31, 2005. Staff recommended acceptance of the extension of the low bid from George & Lynch, Inc. through December 31, 2005 for the purpose of providing general labor, materials and equipment under a "Time & Materials" contract for the purpose of constructing public works projects as authorized by the City's Purchasing Policy. During the committee meeting, Mr. DePrima explained his authorization for deviation in accordance with the Purchasing Policy. Although the Public Works Director had indicated his opinion that Section 3.3 (J) of the Purchasing Policy includes labor, Mr. DePrima stated he disagreed and explained that the Purchasing Policy allows for authorization by the City Manager for deviation, which is what should be considered in approving the recommendation. Mr. Ruane questioned if Section 3.3 (J) of the Purchasing Policy should be amended to include the purchase of “labor”. He relayed concern with the City Manager having to continuously deviate from the policy. The committee recommended that the City Manager, along with the Finance Director/Treasurer, review the Purchasing Policy for an amendment that would eliminate the need for the City Manager to routinely use deviation authority to be brought back to the committee for review. 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. The committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to accept the extension of the low bid from George & Lynch, Inc. through December 31, 2005 for the purpose of providing general labor, materials and equipment under a “Time & Materials” contract for the purpose of constructing public works projects, as authorized by the City’s purchasing policy, and further authorize the Public Works Director to purchase project material when an analysis shows that direct purchases are less than material costs estimated by George & Lynch and under the budget amount. 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. 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 10 SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - MAY 24, 2005 The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met on May 24, 2005 with Chairman Hogan presiding. Consideration of Proposed Ordinance Amendment - Chapter 13, Motor Vehicles and Traffic - Section 13-30.2, Vehicle Parking Limited Where Carrying Capacity is in Excess of One Ton, and Trailer and Motor Home Parking During their meeting of April 27, 2005, members reviewed a proposed ordinance amendment to Chapter 13, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, which would impose a time limit of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours for parking a boat trailer on residential streets. Currently, parking of boat trailers on residential streets is limited to two (2) hours. Mr. Carey advised members that he had received calls from citizens in reference to this matter and provided the new committee members with a summary of the last meeting. He explained that, due to their being some questions, this item was tabled in order for the Planning and Inspections Department to provide additional information and to give the concerned resident an opportunity to address the committee. During the committee meeting, Mr. Kline Kemp, 228 Jefferson Terrace, stated that two complaints had been lodged against him for having his boat parked in front of his residence for longer than the two-hour limit. He explained that boat storage facilities are not open at 4:00 a.m. He would like to see the ordinance changed to allow time for the loading, unloading and cleaning of the boat, which is difficult to do in the two (2) hour time limit; however, it could be accomplished in twenty- four (24) hours. Mr. Hogan suggested that rather than twenty-four (24) hours, the time limit be set at twelve (12) hours. Concurring, Mr. Link also suggested that a maximum boat size be included in the ordinance. After much discussion, the committee recommended that Section 13-30.2 (d) be amended to read, as follows: “It shall be unlawful for any person to park a trailered boat under twenty-five (25) feet on the streets of Dover for a period longer than twelve (12) consecutive hours. For any trailered boat twenty-five feet or greater, refer to Section 13-30.2 (a).” Noting that a number of citizens had expressed concern with motor homes at the previous meeting, Mr. Lakeman suggested that the committee consider motor homes with this amendment. Mr. Hogan requested that Mr. Galvin, Director of Planning and Inspections, provide members with a draft of the recommended changes for boats and include provisions for motor homes as well at the next meeting. The committee recommended that the matter be deferred until the next meeting in order to allow Mr. Galvin an opportunity to provide members with the changes recommended for Section 13-30.2(d) and additional information to include motor homes. 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. 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.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on June 13, 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. Pitts, Mr. Sadusky, Mr. Ritter, Mr. Ruane, and Council President Williams. Mayor Speed was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Voluntary Donation Program Members were provided detailed information regarding Voluntary Donation Programs. Mrs. Tieman, Director of Administrative Services, explained that staff conducted research on these programs as a part of their strategic goals. She noted that a Voluntary Donation Program can give the Dover community the opportunity to help make a positive impact on the City’s Quality of Life Task Force initiative. The program is designed to provide emergency assistance funds to groups in crisis situations or for other community projects. The most effective way to offer and encourage participation is through the monthly utility bill, whereby customers may find this to be a convenient, pressure-free method of contributing at will. Customers, upon remittance of the monthly utility payment, would check off a donation box appropriate to the additional contribution they wish to enclose. These programs are successful and widely implemented with municipalities and businesses across the country. Based on their research, staff suggested that the City develop such a program to be known as “Dover Cares Contribution Program” and that the method for its development include changes to the utility bill form to include donation box information by changing the order with the printer, which appears to be the easiest and least costly way to proceed with this program. Mrs. Tieman stated that the steps necessary to accomplish this are minimal. She explained that customers would be sent information regarding donation programs once per year. New customers would receive this information when they initiate service. Customers would have the option of simply checking the desired donation box(es) and add the amount to utility payments throughout the year. Mrs. Tieman advised members that staff would like the contributions to be distributed among the following funds and agencies: Utility Assistance - Administrative Services; Parks Improvement and Programs - Parks and Recreation; Library Programs - Library and Arts Program - Arts Council. Staff recommended that the Administrative Services Department be permitted to implement the program as recommended in the report provided. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Tieman stated that it is anticipated that there would be minimal administrative costs associated with this program. Mr. Ritter questioned how the City would provide contributors proof of the donation for tax purposes. Mr. DePrima indicated that until staff is able to work out details of the program, it is difficult to determine exactly how the process would be conducted and the administrative costs that would be involved. Once the program is implemented, he stated that staff could report back to members more specific details as to the costs associated with this program.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 2 Mr. Slavin moved to recommend acceptance of the concept of the Voluntary Donation Program as outlined by staff and that staff report back to members more details regarding the program, seconded by Mr. Sheldon and unanimously carried. APPROVAL OF CDBG 5-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND PROPOSED RESOLUTION Members reviewed the 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan, which serves as the primary planning document for identifying and meeting the housing and community development needs for the low and moderate-income residents of Dover. Mrs. Harvey, Community Development Director, explained that the 2005 Action Plan is a supplementary document to the 5-Year Consolidated Plan. The goals and objectives focus on developing and sustaining viable communities and improving low and moderate income persons are addressed in the Consolidated Plan as part of the strategy for addressing the needs of low and moderate income people. Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, upon congressional approval, allocates to the City of Dover Community Development Block Grant Program. The City of Dover is in receipt of FY2005 CDBG fund assignment totaling $308,000 and anticipated program income totaling $50,363; therefore, the total CDBG Federal resources available for use is $358,363. Mrs. Harvey advised members that the Community Block Grant Advisory Committee reviewed proposals for funding and recommended the following activities for fiscal year 2005: Dover Police Department Community Policing Program - $15,000 Homeowner Rehabilitation Assistance Program - $30,000 CDBG Program Administration - $61,600 City Building Accessibility - $35,000 Public Micro Enterprise Assistance - $15,000 Dover Community Partnership, Inc. - $46,000 First State Resources Conservation and Development Council - $25,000 Infrastructure Multi Year Program - $130,763 TOTAL - $358,363 Mr. Ruane requested that staff provide information regarding currently funded CDBG programs, monies that remain available, etc. before this matter is considered by Council. He relayed concern with supporting the micro enterprise assistance program when there are more urgent priorities for use of CDBG funds. Mr. Salters noted that due to time constraints, staff has requested that this matter be considered by Council for final approval during the latter part of the evening. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend acceptance of the 2005 CDBG Action Plan and adoption of the proposed Resolution (Attachment #1) as presented, stipulating that staff provide details regarding the CDBG Action Plan that was approved last year within the next two (2) weeks. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 3 Downtown Dover Business Improvement District - Assessment (Tax) Rate for Fiscal Year 2005-2006 In accordance with Appendix D, Article III, Section 9(f) of the Dover Code, City Council must adopted a Business Improvement District (BID) budget and assessment every year. Members were provided the FY 2005-2006 budget showing BID tax revenue and the expenses charged against that revenue, as well as the following tax calculation worksheet with recommended rates: JULY 1, 2005 TO JUNE 30, 2006 ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3 TOTAL Aggregate Assessments $29,476,600 $55,927,600 $33,291,700 $118,695,000 Assessment Tax Rate Per $100 Assessment 0.0849 0.0362 0.0150 --- Revenue Raised $25,025 $20,246 $4,994 $50,265 % Revenue Raised 50% 40% 10% 100% Number of Parcels 121 113 49 283 Average Assessment $207 $179 $102 $178 Mrs. Mitchell explained that the revenue percentages by zone have been calculated in accordance with Section 9(e) of Appendix D, Article III of the Dover Code and that there had been a discrepancy in this calculation in previous years. Mayor Speed suggested that members of Council should review this as an opportunity to provide an incentive for bringing businesses to the downtown Dover area by providing tax abatement for occupied property within the downtown Dover business improvement district by referring this concept to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement. Staff recommended approval of the Downtown Dover Business Improvement District (BID) - Assessment (Tax) Rate for FY 2005-2006 and adoption of the proposed budget ordinance. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation (Attachment #2), seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried. Mr. Salters noted that due to time constraints, this matter will be referred to Council for consideration during the latter part of the evening. Adoption of Recodification Ordinance During their Regular Meeting of January 12, 2005, members of Council authorized the City Clerk to enter a Professional Services Contract with Municipal Code Corporation (MCC) for conducting a comprehensive legal review, republication, and electronic services of the City of Dover Charter and Code or Ordinances. Mrs. Green, City Clerk, explained that review of the Dover Code involved staff, as well as the City Solicitor and Deputy City Solicitor and identified obsolete provisions,

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2005 PAGE 4 conflicts and inconsistencies with current state statutes, as well as conflicts within the Code itself. State law citations were checked and necessary changes and additions have been noted for future implementation. Ordinances adopted after March 14, 2005, have not been included in the new Dover Code and will be made a part of the first supplement. Mrs. Green reminded members that the new Dover Code of Ordinances was distributed to members of Council on May 23, 2005 along with a memorandum requesting that the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee conduct a Code Review. She explained that there is not enough time to “review” the new Dover Code of Ordinances; however, in order for it to become effective, members of Council must adopt the “Adopting Ordinance”, prepared by Mr. Lefkoff, MCC Attorney, and reviewed and approved by City Solicitor Rodriguez. Therefore, staff requested that a Code Review take place immediately following the adoption of the new Dover Code. Staff recommended adoption of the proposed ordinance adopting and enacting a New Code for the City of Dover, Delaware. Mr. Frank Tenusak, 880 Schoolhouse Lane, questioned what specific changes resulted in the review and how/when will the new Code Book become effective. Responding, Mrs. Green stated that the proposed changes submitted by Municipal Code Corporation and reviewed by the City are available in the Office of the City Clerk. Should the proposed ordinance be forwarded to Council for First Reading during the latter part of the evening and the Final Reading/Adoption by Council on June 27, 2005, Mrs. Green stated that the new Dover Code of Ordinances would become effective June 28, 2005 at 12:01 a.m. Mr. Hogan moved to recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance adopting and enacting a New Code for the City of Dover, Delaware (Attachment #3). The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Mr. Salters noted that at the request of staff, this matter will be referred to Council for consideration during the latter part of the evening. Mr. Hogan moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:35 P.M.

Also, in accordance with Article 5, Section 10, Subsection 10.173, the cash donation shall be equivalent to the appraised value of land area required in Section 10.16 of the Zoning Code. For the Somerset Park Subdivision, the cash donation based on the submitted appraised raw land value is $38,573.80 per acre. For the .5 acres of land that is required for this area, the amount of cash donation is $19,286.90 Ms. Dawn Melson of the Planning and Inspections Department presented the request for cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction for Somerset Park Subdivision, which proposes a total of fourteen (14) residential units on 12.5733+/- acres. Staff provided the following review of the request for cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction. A recommendation is also provided regarding the other proposed open space areas (woodland, wetland, and stormwater facilities): 1. Staff recommended approval of a cash donation of $19,286.90 in lieu of recreation area construction. 2. The applicant should be aware of the requirements for payment of the cash in lieu of recreation area construction as associated with the development of the residential units. 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 . 3. There shall be provisions which insure that the common open space land shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Pitts and unanimously carried. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Melson advised that at this time, staff does not have the City Assessor’s Office review any appraisals that are submitted to their office for the purpose of cash-in- lieu.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Pitts and unanimously carried. Mr. Long moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Ruane and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 12:20 P.M.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Police DATE SUBMITTED: 6/6/05 PREPARED BY: Captain Ray M. Sammons III / Administrative Division Commander SUBJECT: Automated Summons Processing System Upgrade REFERENCE: Grant Funds (SLEAF and LLEBG) RELATED N/A PROJECT: APPROVALS: City Manager, Finance Director EXHIBITS: General Information EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $62,350.00 AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Grant Funds (SLEAF and LLEBG) Budget): TIMETABLE: Upon approval, the Police Department will initiate the order for the software and hardware for the project. Additional lead-time is needed for Enforcement Technology to program their software to our requirements. Orders will be also placed with Dell (state contract vendor) for the system hardware and Insight (state contract vendor) for the Oracle software portion of the project. All parts of the project should be completed within three months of the approval date. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council approve project as requested. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Police Department is in the process of upgrading and replacing the program that is currently used for processing summons violations. This system processes and tracks all city ordinance violations including parking tickets, alarms, city inspections and others. Funding from two grant sources has been obtained for this purchase: State Law Enforcement Assistance Fund (SLEAF) and Local Law Enforcement Grant (LLEBG). A breakout of funding requirements and the various vendors involved is attached. Once approved by Council, the Police Department will place the orders with the respective vendors using the grant funds secured for this project.

The new system will link all visits by same individual and make information retrieval on balances owed much simpler ™ Records structure will allow customers to make incremental payments on outstanding summons violations. Current system will not allow for this. ™ New system will help records identify recurring and/or delinquent payments by violators for better follow-up and possible decreases in lost revenues. 9 City council has changed ordinances several times within the last two years and imposed complications in summons payment conditions and terms. Our technical staff is limited in terms of time available and capability for implementing system programming changes.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: 6/27/05 – 7B DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager DATE SUBMITTED: 6/17/05 PREPARED BY: Anthony J. DePrima SUBJECT: Amendment to Basic Life Support Contract REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: N/A EXHIBITS: Request from Mr. Larry Bradley, CEO of PrimeCare Medical Transport, LLC. Dated April 27, 2005. EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): TIMETABLE: Effective immediately upon City Council approval RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the amendment to the contract BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The current three-year basic life support contract with PrimeCare dated June 2003 states the following under Section I. Definitions and Section IX. PERSONNEL: I. DEFINITIONS B. Basic Life Support Ambulance is a vehicle staffed by two NREMT-Bs equipped to provide Basic Life Support. IX. PERSONNEL A. The Contractor shall staff the dedicated ambulance with two NREMT-Bs at all times. They shall posses both a valid Class A driver’s license and an Emergency Vehicle Operator’s license issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles or the Department of Transportation of the State of Delaware or the equivalent or higher. The NREMT-Bs must also have a current ambulance EMT certification issued by the State of Delaware State Fire Prevention Commission. B. The NREMT-Bs shall be trained and certified in semiautomatic external defibrillation. According to the attached request from Mr. Bradley, the State of Delaware does not require EMT-B’s to keep their “NR” (Nationally Registered) after the first two years. Mr. Bradley is asking that the contract be amended to read “EMT-Bs” rather than NREMT-Bs. This would enable all qualified EMT-Bs employed with PrimeCare to provide services to the City of Dover—not just those who are nationally registered. “A-63” referenced in the letter is the primary unit—the one which operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The highlighted areas above depict where the changes will be. A complete copy of the contract is available upon request.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: 6/27/05 - 8 DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Parks, Recreation & Library DATE SUBMITTED: 6/17/05 PREPARED BY: Zachery C. Carter SUBJECT: Contract Renewal With Delaware Parents Association to Implement Creating Lasting Family Connections Program REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager and Finance Director EXHIBITS: N/A EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ 70,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $70,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget: NOT from City of Dover. Funding will be provided by State of Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families, Office of Prevention & Early Intervention. TIMETABLE: July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 RECOMMENDED ACTION: After working with the Delaware Parents Association in implementing the Creating Lasting Family Connections Program and since it is the sole vendor for this program in the Dover area, staff would like to recommend that we continue to contract with the Delaware Parents Association for program implementation. The contract is not to exceed $67,000, and the contract period will be July 1, 2005 - June 30, 2006. $3,000 of above amount is allotted for administrative costs. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The City of Dover's Delaware Prevention Network Program has been in existence for 15 years. The State of Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families, Office of Prevention & Early Intervention administers the grant to the City. The DPN program is a specific science-based program known as Creating Lasting Family Connections (CLFC). CLFC was written by Ted N. Strader, Council on Prevention and Education: Substances, Inc. (COPES), Louisville, Kentucky. This is a comprehensive family strengthening, substance abuse, and violence prevention curriculum that has scientifically demonstrated that youth and families in high-risk environments can be assisted to become strong, healthy, and supportive people. CLFC provides parents and children with strong defenses against environmental risk factors by teaching appropriate skills for personal growth, family enhancement, and interpersonal communication, including refusal skills for both parents and youth. This program is designed to serve youth ages 9 to 15 and their parents within "at-risk" populations. By focusing on at-risk youth and their parents, this program seeks to serve youth who are predominately underserved by traditional school-based prevention programs. All program staff are required to obtain facilitator certification through completion of the official CLFC model training. Staff will not be permitted to conduct parent or youth groups until certification is established. The CLFC will serve 15 to 20 youth and their families over a 20-week period allowing two sessions during the contract year. The City contracted with the Delaware Parents Association to implement this program during the past two years, and it has done an outstanding job.
