PROCLAMATION – INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S DAY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, The Lenni-Lenape Native Americans originally lived in a huge territory that included what is now New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. The Lenni-Lenape, whose name Lenni means “Original”, and Lenape meaning “People” are indigenous to the Delaware Valley that includes the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, before the first cobblestone was laid by European colonists, the lands on Delmarva that would become Kent County were occupied by Native Americans, particularly the Lenni- Lenape. The Lenni-Lenape Tribe was the first to encounter the Europeans (Dutch, English, and Swedish) in 1524. The English settlers gave them the name Delaware Indians because they lived along the Delaware River, and the river in turn, was named after the governor of the Jamestown colony, Lord de la Warr; and WHEREAS, the peace-loving Lenni-Lenape were called the “grandfathers” or “ancient ones” by many other tribes and were considered to be among the most ancient of the Northeastern Nations. They were known as warriors and diplomats, often keeping peace and mediating disputes between the neighboring Native Nations, and were admired by European colonists for their hospitality and mediation skills; and WHEREAS, in celebrating the traditions, cultures, and accomplishments of the Lenni-Lenape Tribe, we also acknowledge our city’s history of colonialism that has inflicted discrimination, deprivation, and genocide upon indigenous people. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2023, as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the City of Dover and for all citizens to join in celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day and continue to promote the rich heritage and history of the First People of the First State.

Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Hugg stated that all of the properties have gone through the various departments to make sure that there are no easements, or that the city has not acquired the property for some special reason. Mr. Hugg stated that he would confirm any restrictions before bringing the final packet back to council. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Hugg stated that his recommendation would be to put the properties out at fair market value and council set a minimum price. Ms. Arndt stated that for a property that could be developed, she would recommend that it be offered at fair market value for a better return for the city. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that many of the properties were obtained through a monition sale or sheriff’s sale, which transfers a fee simple deed, and the city does not go back and do a deed search. Also, the city is certifying that they can deliver a fee simple title, but the burden is on the buyer to satisfy a deed search if they wish to. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that he has spoken with a few folks associated with Code Purple and other organizations, and anyone who has an interest in any of the properties can contact him for more information. Mr. Hugg

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 09, 2023 PAGE 6 explained city council has the authority to gift the properties since they are city assets and if council made a motion, he could honor that, otherwise, they can bid in the open market. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Hugg stated that the only person who could gain access to the landlocked properties would be the person who acquired the property. Mr. Hugg also stated that the property on College Road is surplus that was acquired as part of a utility easement and there is no right of way. Ceci Hoffman, 101 S. New Street, Dover, stated that she was doing research for the Pastor of Holy Trinity Church, and they would like to obtain property behind and on the side of the church. Ms. Hoffman stated that they could use the property to build a fence because they had the utilities on the side of the building destroyed. Pastor Sheila Lomax, 101 S. New Street, Dover, stated that she is a new Pastor at Holy Trinity Church and the church used to own the property beside them but somehow, they lost it. Pastor Lomax asked since they are a nonprofit if there was a way that the city could help them obtain that property. Pastor Lomax also stated that they would like to do an outreach program for the homeless and the kids in the area. Mr. Boggerty stated that he had reached out to a pastor from the church several months earlier and was never able to get in contact with them. Mr. Boggerty stated that he wants to help but that no action has been taken by the church, and it continues to be a blighted area of the city. Mr. Boggerty stated that he would like to see the church address the present issues and explained that there are funding opportunities as a nonprofit that are available to help them. Mr. Boggerty stated he is willing to help them in any way that they see fit. Pastor Leroy Bradshaw, 101 S. New Street, Dover, stated that they are trying to build a relationship with the people and build up the community. Pastor Bradshaw asked that council reconsider their decision as they are trying to help people physically and spiritually. Mr. Sudler expressed his support for the Holy Trinity Church representatives and stated that he is available to assist them in any way he can. Mr. Sudler also stated that they must put forth the necessary steps to do their part so that he can advocate for them. Michael Pugh, 31 Ann Avenue, Dover, stated that he would like the opportunity to bid on some of the properties, and he believes that the community should be allowed to bid on them as well. Sue Harris, 241 Pine Street, Dover, stated that Code Purple is interested in the properties and will be reaching out to see if any of them fit their mission.

Ms. Harris also stated that they need facilities to provide housing solutions so that the cycle can be broken.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 09, 2023 PAGE 7 Mr. Hugg stated that he would like to recommend that council invite nonprofits to officially request any properties they might be interested in.

Hugg, III, City Manager, and Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community Development Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Delaware House Bill 2 – Delaware Marijuana Control Act. Committee Action Not Required. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Gray stated that there is only one medical dispensary, and that is Best Buds on Jefferic Boulevard. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Gray stated that the medical marijuana facilities are regulated under a separate act and regulations that went into effect in 2001. She stated that it is her understanding that the bill states that a medical marijuana facility can apply for a retail license however, they would then have to comply with both sets of regulations. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that in her conversations with other municipalities, there is a general consensus that they are going out of the state to conduct research on what other municipalities have done in regard to the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 09, 2023 PAGE 8 Marijuana Control Act. The Marijuana Control Act has a fifteen percent tax that goes straight to the state, and the city has the ability to add an additional tax. The city can add an additional tax, much like the lodging tax, which would be her recommendation. Ms. Gray also stated that the only restrictions that she has seen so far are similar to those of adult entertainment. No facilities can be within a certain number of feet of schools or churches, and the Control Act prohibits hours during certain holidays. Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Johnson stated that typical things that law enforcement has seen as a consequence of the industry is an uptick in traffic injuries and fatalities related to intoxication. Any DUI association can show research about how alcohol and marijuana, when used at the same time, can act like an accelerant for one another and it is showing up in crash statistics after legalization. Chief Johnson stated that the second thing seen is burglaries of the marijuana businesses by the illegal trade to get the same product offered for sale legally. Chief Johnson also stated that groups that import marijuana to an area will adjust their prices to be competitive against the lawful market. Ms. Smith stated that she feels the city must be responsible and make marijuana less accessible as it may lead to addiction and mental health problems. Ms. Smith stated that she agrees with Councilman Sudler and that there is a need for some statistical data to support the pros and cons of regulations. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Gray stated that the state has not come up with their regulations and there may be some security measures that they will require, however, the city could require additional security measures as a condition. Mr. Sudler stated that he is in support of the retail dispensary because it would limit the use of marijuana, which then runs the risk of it being laced with fentanyl. Ms. Arndt asked Ms. Gray to please provide council with background information on what zones in the zoning code might be appropriate for the four types; growing, processing, testing, and selling, as well as a list of what conditions council may want to consider imposing on those uses. Dina Vendetti, CDCC President, 435 North Dupont Highway, read a letter of support for the ban of all recreational marijuana establishments (Attachment #1). Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Vendetti stated that she agrees with him and that the decisions need to be data-driven, and things are very much in line with what the chief mentioned. Ms. Vendetti also stated that there are more conversations that need to happen, and there is research that needs to be done. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Vendetti stated that their prohibition is not for the use of recreational marijuana, it is for the manufacturing and sale. Ms. Vendetti also stated that the beach towns recognized that there was a potential for revenue, however, they asked themselves at what cost. Zoe Patchell, 218 N. State Street, Dover, stated that she is in attendance as a Dover resident, and would like council to oppose the ban on legal cannabis

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 09, 2023 PAGE 9 businesses within city limits. Ms. Patchell asked that council enact responsible and reasonable zoning ordinances as education and regulation is the best approach to the issue of regulating cannabis. Ms. Patchell explained that allowing cannabis business in Dover will help keep Dover competitive and create economic development for the city. Ms. Patchell stated that allowing the businesses will create well-paying employment opportunities, decrease the unemployment rate, which is higher in Dover than the rest of the state, and promote public safety. Ms. Patchell explained that research does show the areas surrounding cannabis businesses are safer on average due to the businesses employing a higher degree of security and surveillance. Ms. Patchell stated that a Rutgers University study shows that there is an average of 1.6% home price increase in municipalities that have allowed cannabis-related businesses. Nicole Chick, Puffster, 115 W. Loockerman Street, Dover, expressed her opposition to the ban of all recreational marijuana establishments within the city.

Ms. Golob stated that she was prescribed multiple opiate medications for chronic pain after a car accident, and because of the cannabis plant, she has now been opiate-free for seven years. Ms. Golob stated that cannabis has helped her with things such as fibromyalgia, PTSD, and anxiety. Ms. Golob expressed that the human body has an endocannabinoid system, and when cannabis is consumed, it helps regulate several functions of the body. Amber Ember, Puffster, 115 W. Loockerman Street, Dover, expressed her opposition to the ban of all recreational marijuana establishments within the city. Ms. Ember stated that Delaware House Bill 2 allows only thirty licenses to be awarded statewide, and approximately ten per county. Ms. Ember stated that the application process is very strict, requires a down payment, and that there can only be one recreational store allowed within one mile of each other. Ms. Ember stated that they will be using a competitive scoring process ranking applicants’ safety, security, expertise, and work environment, and revoking any licenses from stores that are not meeting the standards. Ms. Ember stated that Puffster’s is a clean store with friendly associates who support local artists in Dover. Ms. Ember also stated that Puffster’s pays to test their hemp products to ensure customers are receiving a safe and quality product and that they would like the opportunity to become a recreational dispensary. Vonderlear Smack, ACLU Campaign Manager, 1001 Whiteoak Road, Dover, read a letter of opposition to the ban of all recreational marijuana establishments (Attachment #2).

Bradford Street, Dover, expressed his opposition to the ban of all recreational marijuana establishments within the city. Mr. Donovan stated that he is a Delaware attorney as well as a founding member of DelawareCAN. Mr. Donovan stated that it is important that Dover has the conversation to consider good regulations and a good plan moving forward. Mr. Donovan expressed how important it is that adults are allowed to make responsible decisions. Mr. Donovan also stated that council needs to provide the regulations that provide business to the community and move forward and show everyone else how to do it. Heather Campbell expressed her opposition to the ban of all recreational marijuana establishments within the city. Ms. Campbell stated that fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine, but much stronger and more potent. Fentanyl is approved for medical use as a painkiller but is also obtained illegally and sold as a street drug. Ms. Campbell stated that fentanyl-laced marijuana is a growing danger as it is untraceable.

Mr. Windett expressed that without a doubt cannabis cultivation, production, and sales will occur in every town in Delaware when the markets open next November. Mr. Windett stated that localities that choose to regulate the marketplace will allow the transactions to take place in a safe market, and products will be tested to ensure that they are safe for consumption and free from contaminants. Laws will prevent sales to minors, market disputes will be decided in courts of law, and business owners will create good-paying jobs and contribute to local and state taxes. Mr. Windett stated that localities that choose to ban the industry will still have the transactions occur as they are today, in neighborhoods, on street corners, with no safeguards to protect consumers, no ID

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 09, 2023 PAGE 11 checks to prevent sales to minors, with untested and unregulated products, with the proceeds of sales flowing into some gangs and criminal organizations.

Mr. Anderson stated that if there is no good faith effort for continuous repair, just like the others, then it will continue toward demolition.
