Item #5. Economic Development Committee Meeting Minutes January 10, 2023 – 4:00pm The Economic Development Committee Meeting was held in person and by video conference on January 10, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. with Mayor Robin R. Christiansen presiding. Committee Members present in person or via video were Mayor Robin R. Christiansen, Councilman David Anderson, Clayton E. Hammond, City Manager Dave Hugg, City Planner Mary Ellen Gray, and Dr. Dina Vendetti of Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce. Guests present were Donny Legans of Rail Haus Beer Garden. Absent was Kim Adams and Diane Laird of Downtown Dover Partnership. WELCOME The meeting will be called to order at this time with a quorum. Councilman Anderson moved to approve the agenda and minutes as presented. Seconded by City Manager Dave Hugg. Rail Haus Beer Garden (Donny Legans) I am Donny Legans owner and operator of Rail Haus Beer Garden. I wasn’t sure of the type of presentation you wanted to do, so what I did was sort of reimagined the same presentation that I did for an edge grant that I just won for Delaware small business. So, we will talk about this grant. Will talk about where we are, where we will be. And see how we will be with the community at large. The QR codes in front of you, just to kind of level set that just a couple of additional items were gone to talk about. The first one is a 3D rendering of the plan so you can kind of see the image up here on the screen here and you take that image, and you see the 3D renderings you will see how the plan fits in place there with the Rail Haus Beer Garden. The 2nd QR code on there is a survey we did back in February of 2021 right in the middle of COVID. Just to see if this project is viable. We wanted to see what the neighbors thought about it, so we knocked on a bunch of doors, handed out flyers and did something on social media. And we got close to 400 folks within Dover within Kent County to offer their thoughts. There was some pretty good insight there. About 98 to 99 percent of folks that wanted to see this project go forward. So, that was a nice nudge in the back saying to let’s keep going with it. The last thing is a google earth presentation if you just use your phone and click it, kind of shows you real world satellite view of the project and how it looks in relation to downtown Loockerman Street and its relation to DSU downtown campus. Donny Legans reviewed the presentation entitled “Rail Haus Beer Garden” Exhibit #1. Page 21

Item #5. Economic Development Meeting of November 15, 2022 PAGE 2 Councilman Anderson stated thank you for coming today. My questions have to do with obviously four and half months of the year is more challenging weather wise here. How big is the inside? And what does the operation look like mid-October through the end of March? Donny Legans responded that is a great question. It is 85 seats inside and right outside there is heating elements, Invertek electrical heat and gas heat all around. So, there is eleven heaters throughout the space, and there is 3 fire pits right next door to it. So, you are right outside the bar. So, you can have 85 inside, and you can still have coverage seating. When we get to the image, I’ll show you exactly where it is. So, right around here there is heating elements in those portions, and those windows come down. So, you can hang out there if you want. Still there are 85 seats inside and directly out there is about 40 or 50 seats under our cover patio with heat. So, there is like a three-season patio. In the dead of winter, you would just be inside. So, the operations from October that probably is the end of OctDoverfest which is huge for a beer garden. So, from September to October those are still heating up. And there are things you can do during December. Meet Santa Clause, that sort of thing. You can have snow days there. People will still go out if you have those fire pits on. There are 3 fire pits and there is a bunch of heating elements around there. We’re going to be year around. We will be the first year-round beer garden in the state. Constitution Yards they shut down I believe in October. I think Halloween was probably their last event there. With a place like that the miss the World Cup and they miss all the activities that come with that. And then January is big for football. So, people are still going out they just need a place to go for it. Councilman Anderson asked if they will have television inside? Do you have any outside? How does that work? Donny Legans responded we will have 2 tv’s inside with 2 projectors. We didn’t want it to be a sports bar. But for big events we will definitely have it down. And outside, not showing on these renderings above the 40 ft shipping container, there is a chance right where the red that is actually the kitchen right there. There is a chance to put a huge LCD panels up there. We’re talking 14x8 huge TV. And that is right where the pea gravel is. So, I am thinking great weather during the spring and early summer months we will have that for us. So, we are looking at different options for that. But that is one sort of huge outdoor screen will have televisions for. Councilman Anderson stated that is very interesting. And then you will have different games and alike that can be played. So, the outdoor screen that would make an interesting occasional movie night, wouldn’t it? Mr. Legans responded that it absolutely would. There is something we are kind of exploring; it is a silent DJ where you have headphones, and you can kind of tune into it so it doesn’t wash out everybody else who is hanging out having a good time. You’re sitting there and we discovered this at the Firefly festival. So, I’ve been talking to one of the managers there. And that would be something great here for a movie night. So, that black shipping container that bumps against the building, that is kind of where the big TV would go but in that pea gravel area there is about eleven to twelve of those long German biergarten tables that is kind of the hub of what we see that will be the outside area. You’re hanging out but instead of blasting out that whole area with whatever sport you’re playing or movie night you can actually have people that want to participate kind of put headphones on and watch so you can almost have a silent movie day. That is something we are exploring. Councilman Anderson stated thank you very much. City Manager David Hugg asked the numbers of employees and kind of what you see when you are in full operation. Donny Legans responded, so with full operations the number of employees Page 22

Item #5. Economic Development Meeting of November 15, 2022 PAGE 3 is mandated by OABC (Office of Alcoholic Beverage Control), so I have to have 25 full time staff. Which is huge burden and I think it is the only burden for any liquor establishment in the state. Not a casino, not a block party, not any of that but for a bear garden you have to have 25 full time staff. So, we will be up and running, we ran the numbers to have runners, to have back of house chefs, hostess, and security that sort of thing, meters and greeters, and servers. We will probably be a little north of that number. Obviously, it will be challenging in the times when were mainly inside to have that type of staff. But that is a daily average, so I think we will recover that in the spring and summer months as well. But 25 is the daily average we have to have at the beer garden. Mayor Robin R. Christiansen asked, so would your full-timers be considered anybody over 29 hours? Or would it be 40-hour folks? Donnie Legans responded I think it was 29 hours. I have to go back and look. Mayor asked do we have any other questions? Anyone in the audience? Dr. Dina Vendetti do you think that would be a good place to hold some Chamber of Commerce events once Donny joins? Dr. Vendetti responded we talked a little bit about the chamber attending, we are kind of waiting. We talked about putting shovels in the ground. We can do a wonderful groundbreaking ceremony for you. We will want to talk. We will get you a lot of publicity. Mayor asked if anyone online has any questions? I know Mr. Hammond is online. Does he have any questions? Brandy, can you see if he has any questions. Mayor stated we appreciate your time. NEXT MEETING DATE February 14, 2023, at 4:00 PM ADJOURNMANT Mayor Robin R. Christiansen made a motion to adjourn. Moved by Councilman Anderson and seconded by Mary Ellen Gray. Mayor Christiansen called the meeting adjourned at 4:35 PM.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 3 Item #6. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for the adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Presentation (Secretary Hubbard, Delaware Department of Labor, and Richard Fernandes, Division of Employment and Training Director) Secretary Carol Hubbard and Ms. Benita Akerson reviewed the presentation, A Guide to Our Services. Committee action was not required. Responding to Mr. Neil, Secretary Hubbard stated that there are several reasons they are having issues finding workers right now. First, there were a million people lost during the pandemic, and that is a huge chunk of American workers in the workforce. Also, several people became disabled because of COVID and continue to suffer symptoms. Many are concerned about returning to the workforce, and in some instances, particularly women, have dropped out of the workforce due to being close to retirement age. Those who were about to retire and normally would have stayed a few more years decided to stay out of the workforce with the fear of COVID instead of coming back to work. Secretary Hubbard also stated that they have noticed many have experienced issues with childcare. Some women have stayed home to take care of children or take care of aging parents, and some have decided to join the entrepreneurial community. Secretary Hubbard stated that they are doing as much outreach as they can to those individuals because pensions, investments, and paying into social security are important, and they must reinforce those messages. Pay has been an ongoing issue as well, and in many respects, has been lagging. Employers must pay employees more than they were making pre-pandemic because the people are just not there. Secretary Hubbard stated that they did a survey of individuals living in Wilmington and some of the barriers that they faced are people who are sick, old, and taking care of grandchildren. They know if they got a better job, they would lose access to childcare and Medicaid. These are all things that are keeping them afloat. They know that if they are up-skilled to take another job and earn a higher income those benefits would go away. So, people have decided to stay at a lower-paying job to maintain those benefits. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Secretary Hubbard stated that the Division of Industrial Affairs does do investigations about wages, people withholding wages, individuals who are paying people under the table, and people who are experiencing or paying less than the minimum wage. For example, if a contractor is misclassifying an employee and calling them an independent contractor so that they can avoid paying taxes, they do investigate those cases. There is also an Office of Anti-Discrimination that does go out in response to complaints and will do an intake with the individual and employer, as to get both sides of the story. Oftentimes in most situations, they are mediated and do not result in a lawsuit. Any infractions are referred to the Federal Government and they do a further follow-up that could end up in court. Page 33

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 4 Item #6. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Secretary Hubbard stated the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation works very closely with the Independent Living Council on addressing those needs. She would refer Mr. Sudler to Alicia Jacobs, who is the Director of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Secretary Hubbard stated that several providers do those sorts of accommodations for a household so people are enabled to return to work. Secretary Hubbard stated that there is a divide between the services that they provide at the Department of Labor and the Independent Living Council. However, if an individual needs a ramp to get to work, they will work with that individual on getting that in place. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Secretary Hubbard stated that electronic vehicle stations are a buzzword right now. Currently, there is no workforce, but it is important to provide training to electricians and installers who can service these chargers consistently. Right now, there is not much of a carve specifically for EVs but some of those basic skills that an electrician would use could also be transferrable. There is the Office of Labor Market Information that works closely with the Department of Labor to show what occupations are needed so that training funds can be directed to those occupations that are emerging or are sought out. Technology is big in terms of IT programmers, coders, nursing, and healthcare. Everyone is given an assessment to figure out what they can do. Not everyone is skilled in everything. Everyone is worked with on a one-on-one basis to make sure that they are a good fit for training and that there is a job at the end of that training. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Secretary Hubbard stated that the Department of Labor does not currently host job fairs at colleges and high schools, but they do support the JDG program which is in every high school in the state. One outreach tool is called the Career Compass, this is a document that is specifically for high school students. It is an assessment of their skills and will help them determine what it is that they would like to do as a career. It contains a lot of current local market information so that students know what jobs are available, and how much they pay. The Delaware Career Compass also helps students figure out their likes, dislikes, and what they think they can do. It is a comprehensive document that goes out to high schools across the state. Responding to Mr. Contant, Secretary Hubbard stated that they do not support the employer but if an individual comes to them looking for training, or retraining, or if an employer is saying that they need a huge monitor to secure a job, then they would purchase the monitor on their behalf. If it prohibits the employee from getting the job, they will support the cost so that they could become gainfully employed. Responding to Mr. Contant, Secretary Hubbard stated that Delaware Bids is something that they use as well as the minority contractor site associated with the procurement office. That agency is under the Office of Management and Budget. If you are on those lists, you can be notified about opportunities that are out there. Oftentimes vendors can provide services under a hundred thousand dollars and that is something that they can directly contact the vendor about. If someone Page 34

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 5 Item #6. needs a ramp, that is certainly something they would be able to go directly to a contractor with. Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Akerson stated that when they come in and meet with a Case Manager, they would have to discuss the need for transportation then. Transportation is what they call a supportive service. Transportation would have to be something that is included in their case and employment plan. Ms. Akerson stated that they try to have the clients come into the office so that they can speak to a staff person to do an in-depth overview of the services and ask them what their needs are. How can we help you? Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Akerson stated that the first thing they have a client do when they come in the office is register in Delaware JobLink, which captures all of their demographic background from employment history to if they have a criminal background. There is no specific question about transportation but a way around that is if you are sitting and speaking with an employment service specialist, they can talk to the client, and they usually open up. For example, if they wanted to go to school at Polytech for CNA but do not have reliable transportation. When meeting with a case manager those are some of the things that they would have to talk about. The client would have to disclose that information because the goal is for them to receive training which in turn would help them get a job so that they can be successful and move forward. Maybe the next step is LPN or RN, and they can help again. If the client has a career path from CNA to an LPN to an RN, then they can help the client through that. Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Akerson stated they do partner with the Department of Corrections. They have a program running now for one hundred people that are currently incarcerated and are doing CDL training. The DOC has purchased a simulator and they are going through training. Once they come out, they meet with the Department of Labor and are sent on to the next step to attend classes, and then go on the road with the trucks to get the driving experience. Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Akerson stated that they used to be in the libraries pre-COVID. The staff was there to assist anyone with questions. Currently, they are going out into the public to meet clients to work with them. It could be a job fair, high school, college, social services, flea market, or farmers market. This year they have gone to several locations to tell people about their services so that they know what the department has to offer them. They have a series of questions that are asked when they approach the table and then based on that information, they reach back out to them about the services they could benefit from. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Secretary Hubbard stated that previously they were not an agency that did much advertising before the past couple of years. Now they understand that is a big component of what needs to be done as they try to entice people back to the workplace. Secretary Hubbard stated they work closely with the Delaware Workforce Development Board which has several business owners on it. That board serves as the Department of Labor’s guide in terms of the business community, and they advocate on behalf of the businesses and their Page 35

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 6 Item #6. priorities. They do have Business Service Representatives who work for the department, they go out to a business and help the employer develop a job fair or help look at their recruitment material. That is something that has always been offered but not everyone knows that it is available. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Akerson stated that they have a total of four Business Service Representatives in the state. They go out and meet with employers on a daily basis to help them provide the information for the Department of Labor as well as help them put job orders into Delaware JobLink. They are available to sit down with the employer and if they need to do a job fair, they can come in and do a job fair, which can be done at any of the AJCs. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Secretary Hubbard stated that they serve anybody who comes through the door, many of them are homeless. Also, they work with some non-profit organizations to provide information about their services through them. One organization is called Delaware One Stop, a group of private non-profit, government agencies, libraries, and others who get together to help form a system of support for folks in the community. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Secretary Hubbard stated that they do not track the demographic of homelessness unless they disclose that information. If they go into the office, they would be provided information and a referral to other available services. If an individual were to come in with mental health issues, they are likely to be seen by someone in the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Mental health issues would likely be referred out to the Delaware Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH), but in terms of that person’s employment plan, once they are stabilized, that is something that they would work with that individual on. Individuals that can land a job may have a case worker that sits right next to them while they are doing their job to monitor and help that person become acclimated to the work until they master the job. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Akerson stated that they have a provider list that would indicate all of the different available programs. Be it a certification or a degree program. Anybody can access the provider list; it is on Delaware JobLink. Again, coming into the office is recommended so that they can assist with navigating Delaware JobLink. They have computers in every AJC that can be used from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. if need be. There are fax machines, copiers, and anything you would have in your own office. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Secretary Hubbard added that when the providers are selected, one of the things required is that they must provide training that would lead to a certification or a degree. The other thing required is employment, all of the providers work with a network of employers to employ students once they go through the training. Responding to Mr. Contant, Secretary Hubbard stated that as a part of ARPA, they received about $2 million in funds to work on communications and branding strategies. The Department of Labor has been known as the unemployment office, Page 36

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 7 Item #6. but they are so much more. The plan is to rebrand what the Department of Labor looks like. Community Oriented Policing Services Grant Approval for City-wide Camera Program (Captain Aaron Dickinson, Dover Police Department) Chief Johnson reviewed the background and analysis of the Community Oriented Policing Services Grant for the City-wide Camera Program. Staff recommended approving the submission of the grant application for the $600,000.00 from the COPS Office. Mr. Rocha moved to recommend approval of the submission of the grant application for the $600,000.00 from the COPS Office, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Rocha and Sudler were absent). Community Oriented Policing Services Grant Awarded for Hiring 3 Police Officers (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department) Chief Johnson reviewed the background and analysis of the Community Oriented Policing Services Grant for hiring three police officers. Staff recommended approving the grant award of $375,000.00 in Federal Funds from the COPS Office. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that for the current budget year, there is no more revenue that needs to be identified, and that was made sure of when constructing this. However, for the sake of going forward and subsequent budget years, they have to have the council’s blessing for the other associated costs with the positions. Chief Johnson stated that the council wanted to find space for five, but clearly, there were budget constraints. This grant will help move the needle a little bit further. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that yes, this is a typical three- year grant that helps ease in some of the new hires with the idea that the community will take over the cost going forward. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that for this particular grant, there are already candidates identified that will be able to fill the slots. Looking forward, to recruitment is challenging, and interest is low nationally, regionally, and in Delaware. There is a struggle to find individuals that can pass the preliminary screening as well as the background investigation. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that the focus for these officers would be the downtown area, and with a total of five officers bring the total of officers to 111. Page 37

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 8 Item #6. Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Johnson stated that the grant program requires the community to retain the office for the fourth year, however, if there was an economic crisis or moves had to be made in year five or beyond council does have that option. Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Johnson stated that when the Research Manager projects out a balance it is not only salary, benefits, equipment, and uniforms. $375,000 is the value of the grant and what the city would have to accomplish is the $460,000. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that he is not aware of any limitations on the number of times a request for support from the Federal COPS Office for hiring can happen. COPS grants are always going to be associated with an expansion of authorized staff because that is what the Federal Government is interested in helping fund. Mr. Rocha moved to recommend approval of a grant award of $375,000.00 in Federal Funds from the COPS Office, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Rocha and Sudler were absent). Evaluation of Bids for Hazard Response Services (Paul Waddell, Electric Director) Mr. Shawn Burgett reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Evaluation of Bids for the Hazard Response Services. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Miller Environmental Group. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Burgett stated that the only time we use them is when services are rendered. Mr. Contant moved to recommend awarding the contract to Miller Environmental Group, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Rocha and Sudler were absent). Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 7:13 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Page 38

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 9 Item #6. Adoption of Agenda Ms. Arndt moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids- Mirror Lake Drainage Basin Improvements Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Mirror Lake Drainage Basin Improvements. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Gateway Construction, Inc. for the Mirror Lake Drainage Basin Improvements, ITB #23-0006PW, for $553,015. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Lyon stated that there is a Best Management Practice (BMP) in the back parking lot that was installed when the library was built that would collect some of the water and then send it into the basin. However, due to the proximity of the location of parking, there was not much opportunity for improvement of the quality as well. Responding to Mr. Shelton, Mr. Lyon stated that the project went through the necessary channels for approval with the local agencies. Right now, the goal is improving the flooding conditions as it discharges directly into Mirror Lake. There have been no necessary improvements required from the environmental agencies. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that the project is fully funded and encumbered for all of the design. The projects for construction of the Meeting House Branch project are funded through bond bill money so this will not have any impact on that. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend awarding the contract to Gateway Construction, Inc. for the Mirror Lake Drainage Basin Improvements, ITB #23-0006PW, for $553.015, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and carried by a unanimous roll call vote(Rocha and Sudler were absent). Annexation Request – Consideration of Utility Services Lands of Calpine Holdings, LLC for 2 Parcels on White Oak Road (AX-23-01) (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections) Mr. Sudler moved to defer item 2 the annexation request until further notice, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Page 39

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 10 Item #6. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Rocha and Sudler were absent). Annexation Request – Consideration of Utility Services Lands of Christina Kelleher 273 Acorn Lane (AX-23-02) (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections) Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections reviewed the background and analysis regarding the consideration of utility services lands of Christina Kelleher 273 Acorn Lane. Staff recommended upon consideration of utility services, it is found that electric, water and sanitary sewer services are provided and/or available to the property at 273 Acorn Lane. The Electric Department and Department of Water and Wastewater have no objection to its annexation. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Lyon stated that the impact fees for the water and sewer for a residential unit are approximately $7,000. It does change every July first and there is an additional assessment. The City of Dover put in a sewer main on Acorn Lane in the 1990s. To recoup that money there was an assessment of $40 per frontal foot of property that annexes into the city and attaches to that sewer main. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend the approval of the annexation request upon consideration of utility services, it is found that electric, water, and sanitary sewer services are provided and/or available to the property at 273 Acorn Lane. The Electric Department and Department of Water and Wastewater have no objection to its annexation, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Rocha and Sudler were absent). Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Closing the Digital Divide Presentation (Kay Sass, Public Affairs and Emergency Management Coordinator) Ms. Kay Sass, Public Affairs and Emergency Management Coordinator reviewed the presentation Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Closing the Digital Divide. Committee action was not required. Responding to Mr. Shelton, Ms. Sass stated that Dover High School is someone whom the city has had a working relationship with in the past and a lot of people are familiar with many of the staff. Volunteers were needed and the ability to piggyback off some of their events. Anyone in the United States is eligible, she just needed to get as many people on board as she can. Page 40

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 11 Item #6. Responding to Mr. Shelton, Ms. Sass stated that if someone currently has Comcast or Verizon, and the package they choose is the $30 package. Both of the main providers carry a package that is $29.99. That is exactly what they will cover, which is the $30 a month, directly to the ISP. If they already have a $50 plan, they will still get a $30 credit if they are eligible. Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. SAFETY, ADVISORY, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved to combined agenda item #2. Traffic Data – Impact on Rezoning Process and item #4. Traffic Safety – Constituent Concerns. Mr. Anderson moved for the adoption of the agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Neil, and unanimously carried. Discussion Downtown Dover PD Community Office – South Bradford Street Mr. Anderson stated that at a Special Council meeting in January, Mr. Michael Harrington offered at no cost to the City of Dover Police Department, to use an office in the Cendel Building, which is an area that could use attention. Council had looked at building a substation, but it is too expensive to build out. Mr. Anderson would like to bring up the idea of a community relations office for exploration. Mr. Sudler stated that they are hoping to bring up some other alternatives to help engage the community and the police to strengthen their relationship and establish more of a police presence in that area. Mr. Anderson stated that he wanted to point out this type of office because it does not have the heavy investment of a substation, council could find out if it works. If it does not then council would not feel obligated to continue it. However, if it is wildly successful, it can open other opportunities to look at something different. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Sudler stated that the main focus would be to have some additional police presence, where community leaders can meet, or even a place where business owners can talk with police about their current concerns. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Sudler stated that it would provide a stationary location for additional police presence downtown. The mobile police station has arrest powers and the location would be more of a community engagement location. To do things like provide bookbags, and resources in an area where members of the community want additional police presence and it will be at no additional cost to the city. Page 41

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 12 Item #6. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Anderson stated that it could be called a community relations office. The mobile unit attends events all over the city and only spends a small percentage of time in that location. The community is asking for a regular police presence and the office could be a place for officers to take a break after walking downtown. The office could provide an opportunity to put up cameras in the parking lot and give more authority to the city as a tenant. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Sudler stated that the office should be staffed by a police officer or cadet under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Police. The office would not be a place where you could arrest or detain someone because as the Chief had previously stated these facilities are not equipped for that. Ms. Arndt stated that in a previous discussion the Chief has stated if you have an office, or a police office, the expectation is you are always open. How many officers would need to be staffed there? If there are two officers there 24/7, that is two fewer officers that are patrolling the streets. Mr. Neil stated that the Chief has made it very clear that when there is a static location it is only good for a short period. It seems that there is a need for continual police mobile presence moving around the community. People are defecating between cars, people who urinate between cars, people exposing themselves, and people who are annoying customers trying to go in. It is not so much that there is a place there but rather a mobile presence of having officers moving in, out, and around. This also imposes the discussion of the Master Plan, giving people who are going to be merchants and being brought in to develop that area confidence. Mr. Neil stated that he would not say there is a need for a building but to leave it up to the Chief to make sure there is a circulation of those officers going through the area, which will provide more confidence along the line. Council just approved a new camera system, which will hopefully promote speed when something is spotted, so that they can move as quickly as possible in that area. Mr. Anderson stated that as an office rather than a substation it would not be required to be open 24/7. A community relations office could have whatever hours established by the Police Chief to fulfill the needs of the community. An example is when a Capital Police Officer was put in Dover Housing Authority, in Capital Green on the street where there were problems, and it changed the whole neighborhood. That office was not 24/7 but just having the presence and knowing they could show up at any time helped quite a bit. Dr. Short stated that she does recognize that something needs to be done but this may not be the solution. Dr. Short stated that the community could bring up the issue of why this area of town and not another location. Responding to Dr. Short, Mr. Sudler stated that there has to be a starting point and Mr. Harrington has given council the opportunity free of charge. When it comes to implementing a substation, or any brick-and-mortar business, it is not just the Page 42

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 13 Item #6. operating cost, but the actual dwelling itself. There is an opportunity to occupy space in an area that needs additional police presence, and this could be a great start. Mr. Sudler stated this could start a movement, where people want to donate a dwelling in a certain area because they want to help out. After all, this is a social problem. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Dr. Short stated that she agrees with Mr. Sudler’s point but he just alluded to the next point, the police are understaffed and overwhelmed. If there is an overwhelming response to others wanting this in their communities and there is an opportunity to do something similar what does that look like? Chief Johnson mentioned that recruitment is a challenge. There are a lot of things that need to be figured out coming from the community perspective and recognizing that the west end feels left out. Councilwoman Pillsbury stated that she believes the police should be out on the streets and not in a building. Dr. Pillsbury stated there has been no feedback on the Dover Behavioral Program and perhaps that location could provide privacy for that program away from the police station. If there is someone who needs counseling, the officer or counselor can go to the office and provide them support in a less threatening environment. Responding to Dr. Short, Dr. Pillsbury stated that the office may fit the needs of the Police Department more as a counseling office. The officers need to be out on the streets but if there is a community office with a non-threatening environment it could give them a resource to meet with people that want help. Chief Johnson stated that having an official police substation, there is a substantial cost. Staffing has to be there because it would be considered an extension of the station and individuals will expect to seek refuge there. If the doors are locked, and the lights are out, then there is a concern. If an office is council’s goal, then they must plan what this office is, it has to have a specific mission. An example of this type of office does not have a police officer but rather a civilian specialist. A half public safety, half social services, kind of professional. The office may have the same color scheme as the Police Department, but you have to call it something so that the community understands that it is not a police station. Down the road, the doors can be open at certain hours because people will adapt to the availability. The office becomes a Swiss Army knife, it can have a meeting space for a neighborhood group to get together or meet with a constituent, or members of the business community need to hold a meeting and just need some space. Environmental Safety Concerns – Silver Lake Mr. EShed Alston, Dover, Delaware, reviewed his proposal on adding industrial aerators to Silver Lake to battle the blue-green algae (Attachment #1). Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Alston asked, does the state have any aerators? Does the county have any aerators? Has anyone attempted to find out? If no one has then maybe start there. If aerators are not available, they can be very Page 43

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 14 Item #6. expensive. However, if you want to keep the fish alive, it is what needs to be done to keep down the pollution and nutrient overload. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Alston stated that the goal is not to recover but to stabilize the system so that there is not a mess like last year. If nothing is done by June or July, it will happen again. Ms. Arndt stated that she and Mr. Alston had a good conversation and that if everyone thought like him and had the same passion for improving water quality and the environment, they would not be in this mess. Too many nutrients are the cause. Water quality statewide is unfortunately not that great. Several lakes within the state have the same problem and the state has not been able to solve it. Aerators are not a reliable lake management strategy; scientific literature does not support the fact that they are effective. Some studies have shown, they have made the situation worse or did not help at all. Ms. Arndt explained when she worked with the Coastal Management Company, there were two projects to install aerators in Rehoboth and South Bethany. They did not create a sufficient improvement, there was a water quality improvement near the aerator, but it did not impact the quality overall. The number of impaired water bodies statewide, and the fact that there are no aerators in those ponds is indicative of the fact that the state does not believe they work, and scientific literature would support that. Traffic Data – Impact on Rezoning Process Mr. Sudler stated that when there is a rezoning process, there have been a lot of questions about how this is going to reshape the community, and how much traffic is going to be in the community. When constituents ask before phase two, council would like to be able to give an educated answer on what the current stressors are versus how they could be impacted. Maybe through a traffic count or some other traffic data. What is the current traffic count, what are the current issues, and incorporate that into the first stage of the rezoning. Then residents that live in that area, business owners, or stakeholders that may be affected, have some type of idea of how the rezoning will impact that area. Mr. Anderson stated that when looking at zoning there are certain restrictions; however, things that are allowed to be considered in reading from the Delaware Code Title 22, Chapter 3- Municipal Zoning Regulations, Section 303 states “The purpose of the zoning regulation is designed to lessen congestion in the streets, to secure safety from fire, panic, and other damages, promote health and general welfare, to provide adequate light and air, prevent overcrowding the land and undue concentration. To facilitate the adequate provision of transportation.” In two places it talks about the congestion of streets and facilitating adequate transportation as being an appropriate use of zoning regulations. Therefore, it makes sense to incorporate the information so that there can be an understanding as council is rezoning to understand what the traffic counts are, and looking at what impact possible uses are, does not seem to be unreasonable by the plain language of the state code. Page 44

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 13, 2023 PAGE 15 Item #6. Mr. Rocha stated that the infrastructure was not designed for the population that is here now. Mr. Rocha suggests doing a comprehensive metropolitan traffic circulation study in addition to what Mr. Anderson suggested. Mr. Neil stated that the complication is not all of the roads are our roads, they are state roads. The source would be to ask DelDOT to do this, or the MPO combined with DelDOT. Mr. Neil stated that the question is “Can we at the point that you are considering any kind of zoning, get that report in front of it?” Understanding that having that report as part of the total picture will give you an idea of what has to be done. Mr. Neil asked can we ask DelDOT to give an estimation in terms of their roads because we do not have the capacity if it is their roads. Council will have to ask DelDOT to give the overall look and then in the zoning process move it up in the timeline so that when it hits, there will be some sort of idea of what that is going to mean. Ms. Arndt stated that the Dover Kent MPO is where it will all start. There are some studies on their site like the east/west truck study, and there needs to be an adjustment for truck traffic. Truck parking is also coming up more, and there is the US-13 corridor study. Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections, stated that what the council is looking to have done is a Transportation Improvement District. This is a process done by DelDOT that models your district, models the developments in Dover, takes a land forecasting model of all the potential areas that could be rezoned, look at the highest use, forecast the traffic, and then would forecast the improvements that would be needed. In addition, an added benefit would be allocating the costs of the projects that would need to be done and the cost to each unit of development. Traffic Safety – Constituent Concerns Mr. Sudler stated that there has been concern from constituents that some states or cities have not been enforcing ATV usage on public roads. In the video presented, there was a police officer right there and they did nothing about the ATV, which is concerning. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated the issue is liability and intelligence. One of the fastest ways to get in trouble is to chase a motorcycle rider who is likely a juvenile. No matter what the outcome is when an injury occurs the Police Department is at fault. Chief Johnson stated that the individuals that ride the quads know this. The riders network through social media and know that the police will not chase them because there is liability involved. The best attempt to counter this is by monitoring them as much as possible. The Police Department gathers as much information as possible in an attempt to identify the riders and the bikes. So that over time they can piece together what neighborhoods, and then partner with community members to identify the house. Chief Johnson stated that this is a concerning topic, and the Police Department is trying to handle it correctly. Page 45

Item #7. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on March 13, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. with Councilman Hare presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Ms. Arndt, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Neil, Dr. Pillsbury, and Mr. Rocha. Mr. Sudler was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Shelton (Utility), Mr. Contant (via WebEx), Mr. Shevock (via WebEx) (Legislative, Finance, and Administration), and Mr. Tholstrup and Mr. Lewis (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement). Mr. McCutcheon (Utility) was absent. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids – West Street East Alley Water Main Replacement (Jason Lyon, Water/Wastewater Director) Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater reviewed the background and the analysis of the evaluation of bids for the West Street East Alley Water Main Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction for the water main replacement of West Street East Alley, ITB #23-0010WW, for $415,800. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Lyon stated that they utilized the State of Delaware’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise portal. Mr. Lyon stated they have a very large database of contractors that they send these out to. The contractors must be utility contractors and they are not required to attend the pre-bid meeting. So if they do not come to the pre-bid meeting, it does not exclude them from submitting their bid. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Teal Construction for the water main replacement of West Street East Alley, ITB#23-0010WW, for $415,800.00 as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. The Energy Authority 2023 Dover Integrated Resource Plan (David Hugg, City Manager) Mr. David Hugg, City Manager reviewed the background and analysis of the Energy Authority 2023 Dover Integrated Resource Plan along with Arline Newton, Client Service Manager, and Greg Labbe, Director of Corporate Analytics, The Energy Authority. Staff recommended accepting the 2023 Dover Integrated Resource Plan as prepared by The Energy Authority and following the recommendations contained therein. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Newton stated that an RFP would have to tell us where you should focus the renewable energy. Page 48

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MARCH 14, 2023 PAGE 2 Item #7. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Labbe stated that in the study it is assumed that the city hits all of the State of Delaware mandates set by the Renewable Portfolio Standard. Forty percent of demand will be served through renewable energy by 2035. Ten percent of the total demand has to be through solar. This can be done one of two ways; the city can own the generation through a PPA, or Calpine develops the solar farm, and the city buys into a portion of it. Mr. Labbe stated that most of the utilities in the United States are adding solar but that five years ago, it was wind. The pandemic, Ukraine, and the embargo on Chinese-made solar panels right now, are all things that are holding up solar development in the United States. Hopefully with the IRA, and the Inflation Reduction Act, some of the development moves domestically. Mr. Labbe stated the next technology will likely be long-duration storage. Right now, they use a four-hour lithium battery, and you can stagger them to make a twelve-hour battery. Mr. Labbe stated that currently, they are working on some IRPs out on the west coast that will start to look at small modular reactors. Modularized nuclear reactors are similar to what are in submarines. It is just not cost-effective without some kind of subsidy, but that is where solar was five years ago. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Newton stated that the project Mr. Neil is speaking of is also running into the same supply chain issues as mentioned earlier. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Labbe stated that the developers signed a deal three years ago, with the thought that they are going to be able to buy solar panels three years from when they signed the deal, at what the costs were then. Now costs are 150 percent of what they thought, and they are locked into this rate. They are willing to walk away from the PPA and pay liquidated damage costs because it is cheaper than doing the twenty-year deal. Therefore, they are talking short-term deals, getting through the short-term capacity needs, and hoping that by 2025 or 2026 everything is back to normal. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Labbe stated that everyone points to California however, California is only nine percent solar out of their total generation. They are over sixty percent gas, so the PJM market is not much different. The City of Dover does not have to supply all, they just have to supply its piece as a part of the market. The market is transitioning from coal to natural gas which emits about half as much CO2 as a coal plant. The Vansant plant is the local reliability generator. PJM has provided enough transmission to get generation into the peninsula, so the city does not have to have something local for reliability anymore. It is the responsibility of the transmission organization to take care of that. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Labbe stated that you do have to overbuild when it comes to solar. The capacity factors the metric used to measure how much generation it makes versus how much it could make. During the peak hours of the day, solar produces close to seventy percent and zero percent at night. What will hopefully supplement it is if you move toward the offshore wind. The wind profile at night is significantly stronger than it is during the day. The idea is if you add offshore wind at some point then that will be the off-peak type of generation. If you need fifty megawatts, then you need to build seventy to eighty megawatts of solar to meet the requirement. Gas does not help with meeting the RPS standard and the city would have to go out and buy credits from someone else. Mr. Labbe stated that they ran a scenario where instead of adding storage and solar, they added the exact amount of nameplate capacity needed to have a gas plan. Over the twenty-year study, it was roughly $25 million more to operate the gas plan rather than to add solar and storage. Page 49

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MARCH 14, 2023 PAGE 3 Item #7. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Newton stated that the short answer is that they are overwhelmed with solar capacity projects. There is a low cost of entry to submit projects so vendors are taking a risk and submitting the projects in hopes of finding someone to sell them to. There is a map of interconnection requests that have been received and right now they are three to four years behind. Mr. Labbe added that COVID has had a huge impact on the markets also. It is not just PJM, the queue has everything that has been proposed to be built. If you are a solar developer or a gas developer, you must submit the project to the market. The market has to do transmission studies to see what impact it will have on the market, then say yay or nay, and then you decided if you want to keep moving forward. PJM and some other markets are now working with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reorganize their queue. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Paul Waddell, Electric Director, stated that the last major upgrade to Vansant was in 2017, which was enough of an upgrade on that unit with its cycles and hours that it should last up until 2042. Mr. Waddell stated that the city collects a good amount of capacity payments from PGM just from having that unit. One of the last times it ran, they were able to get $1,100 of megawatt hour. Forty-two times $1,100, times six hours that it ran. That was a good chunk of money that was made at no additional cost to the city except for the gas. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Newton stated that there has to be a balance between programmatic and taking advantage of opportunities. The Energy Authority has meetings every month with the RMC to discuss those kinds of questions. When do we stick to our program and have a sense of being open to whatever the opportunities are? If you do not have the programmatic, you would fall into trying to catch the market, and that is not what they want. Mr. Neil moved to recommend accepting the 2023 Dover Integrated Resource Plan as prepared by The Energy Authority and following the recommendation contained therein, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairwoman Arndt presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Boggerty moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mayor and Council Reports Council President Council President Sudler was absent. First District Dr. Pillsbury reported she received a call from a citizen regarding a community recreation area and a water retention pond. The citizen wanted to know why some developments are maintained by the Page 50

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MARCH 14, 2023 PAGE 4 Item #7. city and some developments are responsible for the maintenance, she is looking into that. Dr. Pillsbury reported she participated in the St. Patrick’s Day parade, attended the Police Academy graduation, and the Dover Transformational Leadership training and found them all helpful and interesting. Mr. Rocha reported that he would add to what Dr. Pillsbury stated and add that she helped him coordinate along with Mr. Boggerty, at the West Dover Town Hall Meeting on March 2, 2023. At that meeting, there were presentations on the Mosaic Downtown Master Plan, presented by the Downtown Dover Partnership. A DelDOT engineer also talked about the Kenton Road update and a presentation from Code Enforcement. The next meeting will be on July 6, 2023. Mr. Rocha stated they will continue to engage DelDOT about Kenton Road for updates on the construction. Additionally, Mr. Rocha attended the Transformational Leadership training as well. Mr. Rocha reported that he attended the McKee Road/Saulsbury Road public workshop. He also was invited to attend the Green Homeowners Association meeting and participated in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Mr. Rocha also attended Colonel Hampton Green’s funeral and provided him a tribute on behalf of the city. Second District Mr. Hare reported that he participated in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and was attacked by a dog. Mr. Hare has received several calls about someone on the Public Works truck that picks up leaves. It has been said that they are doing a wonderful job and when they come, they are picking up everything and not leaving behind one twig. Mr. Hare stated that he always hears the bad stuff, but he received two positive calls. Third District Mr. Neil reported that he attended the Police Academy graduation along with Ms. Arndt and Dr. Pillsbury. He attended the St. Patrick’s Day Parade with the Mayor. At the McKee/Saulsbury DelDOT workshop, there is a mile-and-a-half road that they showed at that juncture. Hopefully, there is a six-way stop that will be at Governor’s, Ross, and Bradbury, coming up very soon. Mr. Neil reported that he attended two Special Council sessions, he missed the Transformational Leadership Training due to COVID and testified on behalf of a Kings Cliffe resident in JP Court. Mr. Neil responded to three constituent complaints, sharing those emails and the actions that were taken by staff along with his Third District colleague Ms. Arndt. Ms. Arndt reported that Mr. Neil covered everything she was going to report on. Fourth District Mr. Anderson reported that he would like to thank the staff for the resolution of past concerns. Mr. Anderson was talking to someone about a familiar complaint of not having trash cans on the west part of Loockerman Street. While he was talking, he looked over and there were new trash cans. Mr. Anderson reported that constituents over at Woodcrest are requesting at Buttner and Woodcrest Drive, that yellow paint be applied to the curb where it is supposed to be fifteen feet because cars park there. Mr. Anderson stated that it is a safety hazard because it blocks your view of where the houses are. They have also requested a look into the idea of extending the sidewalk when the new school comes, so that Pay Lynn Drive, Schoolhouse Lane, and the sidewalk area are connected. Mr. Anderson stated that there is a gap between them and it may have to do with the right of way, or the wetlands, however, they would like it to be explored because the kids end up walking on the street. Page 51

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MARCH 14, 2023 PAGE 5 Item #7. Finally, Mr. Anderson reported people are still anxious about the streetlights south of Division Street running to full capacity. At- Large Mr. Boggerty reported that he attended the Capital School District’s strategic planning session alongside the Mayor. He also attended and sat on the panel at Delaware State University’s University Pathway to Success Program. The program had to turn away one hundred students, so they are going to plan it again. Mr. Boggerty reported that he coordinated a meeting with the Chief of Police and DSU personnel to establish an internship program for the cadets. The meeting went well, and he looks forward to hearing how the cadet program can be turned into an internship to increase interest. Mr. Boggerty reported that he addressed a constituent concern regarding traffic on Reed Street and he would like to thank Mr. Nowak for responding. Mr. Boggerty attended the Black History Program at the Modern Maturity Center with Councilwoman Dr. Pillsbury, and they were able to address them on behalf of the Mayor and Council. They were able to welcome them and tell them that they hear their concerns with the electric rates. Mr. Boggerty also appeared on a podcast that had over 1,700 views with a lot of positive responses. Mr. Boggerty attended the Faith and Trauma Mental Health Symposium at Delaware State University. He was able to talk to Wilmington’s Chief of Police and get some ideas on how they managed the Rodney Square issue with their unhoused population. Mr. Boggerty also congratulated the Dover High School cheerleaders for winning the National Cheerleading Championship held in Virginia. Mr. Boggerty participated in the St. Patrick’s Day parade and also called a constituent regarding an electric company concern that was quickly resolved. Mayor Christiansen Mayor Christiansen stated he will submit his report electronically at a later date. Review of Cash-in-lieu Amount for Active Recreation Plan – Dover Apartments at Leipsic Road (Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community Development Director) Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community Development Director reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Review of the Cash-in-lieu Amount for Active Recreation Plan – Dover Apartments at Leipsic Road. Mr. Neil stated that there has been a discussion of DelDOT doing a traffic study before. He has no objection to the 216 apartments, perhaps as many as 500 people or more are going to be in those apartments. However, this is a very crucial part of the city at Route 13 and as you go east coming down Leipsic, you can see the Speedway where it is located. At certain times of the year the Speedway, Firefly, and the Gifts of Lights, all will impact traffic tremendously and there is no escape. Once you hit the area, when these people move into the apartments and traffic is blocked off crossing the bridge to go down Leipsic into Persimmon Tree, it is going to be a disaster. Mr. Neil stated that DelDOT is going to have to take a look at that area for whatever enlargement is going to be called for as these things are going to be built because there is no escape. There is a small one, in which you can cut out and wind up back at Route 13 again by the old E-Z Pass building. There is Home Depot, and a Citizens Bank where the old Pizza Hut was, and it is going to be a problem. Mr. Neil recommended that staff recommends getting ahead of the traffic before the apartments are built. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Gray stated that it is a math problem. 216 units were proposed and the total required active recreation area was 59,400 square feet. 53,463 square feet was proposed, so Page 52

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MARCH 14, 2023 PAGE 6 Item #7. there was a deficit of 5,937 square feet. The appraisal value was $130,000 per acre and the calculation was $2.98 per square foot. So that gives you $17,718.31. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner stated that the calculation for the active recreation area, the requirement for the plan is 275 square feet per dwelling unit. There is a minimum of a half-acre. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Melson-Williams stated that this was for the apartment complex itself and that Bank of America was not on the parcel. There was a connectivity to the other parcel that is fronting 13 but that is on a separate calculation. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Melson-Williams stated that anytime there is a cash-in-lieu payment made that payment goes into a parks and recreation reserve fund. It is specifically earmarked for park improvements citywide; it is not delegated to a particular area of the city. In the past, they have drawn from that to help fund some of the smaller improvements in some of the smaller parks. Mr. Neil moved to recommend the acceptance of the staff recommendation of the Cash-in-lieu Amount for Active Recreation Plan – Dover Apartments at Leipsic Road. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Review of Active Recreation Plan – College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street (Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community Development Director) Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community Development Director reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Review of the Active Recreation Plan – College Road Apartments at Railroad Avenue/Grove Street. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that she only knows the plan as presented, she was not present if it was proposed as another plan of 150 units. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Gray stated that part of the process is that the committee reviews the recreation plan and makes a recommendation to the Planning Commission. The recommendation is then reported to the Planning Commission so that they can make their review and include that in their recommendation or their review of the plan. This plan does meet the criteria for the square footage of the property. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Gray stated that there is a request for a waiver for parking, which is in the Planning Commission’s purview, so they will be reviewing that. Mr. Anderson stated that there are different areas of responsibility and as Ms. Arndt stated council looks at the recreation plan. If the Planning Commission looks at the recreation plan and says, “it looks good but taking into account everything, it will need to be adjusted because we are not going to approve the parking waiver,” and then the recreation plan has to be reworked. The new plan would then come back to council with the recommendations from Planning Commission. The Planning Commission needs to know that the recreation plan that is being submitted, is an acceptable alternative because if not, they would have wasted their time. If the Planning Commission sent council the recreation plan, instead of it going to council, the recreation plan would still have to be approved by council. It just happened to be chosen that it is easier for the Planning Commission to be the one with the final input that has the recreation plan, the staff site plan, and the full picture. Page 53

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MARCH 14, 2023 PAGE 7 Item #7. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Rocha stated that the number required for 385 units is 867 parking spaces, and the waiver is allowing 683 parking spaces. Responding to Mr. Tholstrup, Ms. Gray stated that there is no playground, but there was a multi- sport court, a volleyball court, a paved walking trail, fitness stations, and a yoga studio inside. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Gray stated that the walking paths have to be accessible and each floor has to be ADA accessible. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Greg Rishel, Pennoni Associates, stated that he is the applicant’s engineer and that the walking trail will be paved ADA compliant, and will be accessible. There are fitness rooms, yoga rooms, and activity rooms in each building. The other facilities, such as the sports court and the picnic pavilion, would have paved walkways to them. Picnic tables could be made to be ADA-compliant so that someone who is disabled or in a wheelchair could pull up to them. As for the fitness stations, multiple manufacturers make equipment specifically geared toward someone with physical disabilities. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Rishel stated that they are predominantly one-bedroom studio apartments and that the target audience is college students, given the close proximity to DSU. Potentially also with the air base, military personnel. The apartments are geared toward starter apartments with a mix of two bedrooms mixed in. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Melson-Williams stated that this is the first appearance of a residential development for this tract of land. There was an associated site plan that dealt with street improvements in the general area, but the number of units had various designs that have been worked on over the recent years, but not presented to the Planning Commission or the prior committee. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Melson-Williams stated that the city’s zoning ordinance does not make that a requirement. The State Department of Transportation, DelDOT, has its own technical regulations that would regulate where a TIS is warranted There are also other options in DelDOT’s Development Coordination Manual. They will be the ones deferred to for those traffic improvement approvals and necessary studies or analyses. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Melson-Williams stated that as part of the site development application process, Dover’s Development Advisory Committee is made up of the city departments and state agencies that are made aware of the application filings. Additionally, a number of those agencies have regulatory requirements and their own review process to, for example with DelDOT, take access from a state-maintained roadway. There is a review process with them, just like the sediment and stormwater management plan for the site will be reviewed with Kent Conservation District, which has its own technical review guidelines. All of that goes into the consideration of the site development plan and its approval process. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Gray stated that the process is that the site development plans are reviewed, the final review and approvals are done at Planning Commission, and this application will not come back to council.

Ms. Arndt moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt and unanimously carried. Proposed Resolution No. 2023-02 Authorizing the City of Dover to Participate in New National Opioid Settlements Staff recommended the adoption of the proposed resolution No. 2023-02. Mayor Christiansen stated that he has had the honor of being appointed to the Opioid Distribution Funds by the Governor and the Attorney General, so this will enhance the city’s position on that committee. The downside of it is that at this point, it looks like there is $27 million which will be distributed over the next ten years. Mr. Hare moved to recommend the acceptance of the staff recommendation of the proposed resolution No. 2023-02. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried.
