COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP A Council Financial Workshop was held on January 7, 2013 at 5:40 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Lynn (departed at 8:44 p.m.), Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Koenig, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was accepted as presented. REQUEST TO CHANGE DATE OF DEDICATION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD TO SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2013 Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that Reverend Michael Rogers and Reverend Rita Paige had recently approached him requesting that the date of the dedication ceremony for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard be changed from Monday, January 21, 2013 to Saturday, January 19, 2013 to coincide with the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade. He stated that arrangements had been made to change the parade route to include the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard location, arriving at 12:15 p.m., and that a brief ceremony had been scheduled there at 12:30 p.m. He indicated that Reverend Rogers and Reverend Paige were working on a program for the event to include speakers, etc., and would provide this information to the City once it was finalized. Mr. Koenig explained that there was some concern regarding the availability of dignitaries on the originally scheduled date (Monday), requested Council’s consideration of the proposal to change the date, and advised members that he anticipated the program to be made available to members during their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that although there were some logistical issues, Senator Bushweller had offered to pay for informational and ceremonial signs to be used for this event. Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the request to change the official date of the dedication of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Saturday, January 19, 2013, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. INTRODUCTION BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT LEARY Council President Leary advised members that during the last few budget cycles, Council had discussed little besides the City’s unfunded liabilities during the Annual Retreat due to the increasing importance of this issue and its effect on the budget. As a result, there had not been much opportunity to discuss other matters, such as sidewalks, playgrounds, etc., as was done in previous years. It was his hope that by conducting a separate workshop on the unfunded liabilities, members would have the opportunity to discuss other matters during the Retreat. Council President Leary noted that there has been national debate regarding Social Security, Medicare, etc., which he felt paralleled the City’s issues, explaining that the City made commitments many years ago to pay pension and medical benefits when employees typically retired at 65 and lived

COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 7, 2013 PAGE 2 to be 70 years of age or so. He noted that this was not an unsound system at the time, from an actuarial standpoint; however, this was no longer the case, since individuals often retire at a much younger age and live longer. PENSION FUNDS - UPDATE ON FUNDING STATUS AND ACTUARIAL REQUIRED CONTRIBUTIONS AS OF JUNE 30, 2012 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a Presentation entitled - Council Financial Workshop - January 7, 2013 (Exhibit #1 - Pages 2-17). Police Pension Fund In reviewing the Police Pension Fund (Pages 2-5 of Exhibit #1), Mrs. Mitchell noted that the amount of Benefit Payments reflected was greater than the contributions. She reminded members that this was a closed plan (City’s old Police Pension Plan) and no active employees were enrolled. She stated that, according to the last actuarial study, there were 48 retirees or beneficiaries in the plan, with 50% in the 55-65 age bracket. As noted on Page 4, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Net Pension Asset at the beginning of the year was an accumulation of all prior year differences resulting from over-funding or under-funding of the plan by the City, and the overall difference accumulated to an asset. Since the City under-funded the plan this year, she stated that the Net Pension Asset had been reduced. She indicated that $668,274 listed in contributions included the State’s contribution in the amount of $561,772 and the City’s in the amount of $95,000. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Net Pension Asset had continued to decrease and that it would be necessary for the City to fund approximately $200,000 next year and $400,000 thereafter, which would impact the budget. General Pension Fund In reviewing the General Pension Fund (Pages 6-10 of Exhibit #1), Mrs. Mitchell noted that there were 194 retirees or beneficiaries participating in the plan, 81 active employees who were fully vested, and 68 active employees who were non-vested. She indicated that there were 14 deferred vested individuals who terminated with 10 years of service and would be eligible for pensions when they attain 65 years of age. She stated that approximately 48% of the members of the General Pension Fund were in the 55-65 age bracket, according to the last actuarial study conducted. Responding to Council President Leary, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the General Pension Plan was closed to new employees in 2009. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) - Update on Funding Status and Actuarial Required Contributions as of June 30, 2012 Referring to the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Fund (Pages 11-14 of Exhibit #1), Mrs. Mitchell noted that there were 252 retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits, 14 terminated plan members who were entitled to benefits, and 331 active eligible plan members, for a total of 597 participants. She explained that this total would continue to grow as employees retire and begin receiving benefits, and their positions would be filled with new employees who would become active eligible plan members.

COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 7, 2013 PAGE 3 In reviewing the figures on Page 13, Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that amounts with brackets were assets and those without brackets were obligations. She explained that the Annual Required Contribution, the level the City should have funded at, with adjustments, was $7,528,602; however, the City funded (Employer Contributions) $5,645,311 and was, therefore, short $1,883,291. Referring to the Net OPEB Obligation (asset) at the beginning of the year, Mrs. Mitchell explained that this number reflects the accumulated differences from prior years which add to the liability. Responding to Mr. Koenig, City Manager, Mrs. Mitchell clarified that the data provided was from the year ending June 30, 2012. She explained that the information was provided for each fund and noted that the Electric Fund had an asset at the end of the year because the City was able to contribute a large lump sum. She stated that, in comparison, the General Fund (Governmental Activities), which reflected an obligation of $11,179,542 at the end of the year, was more of a problem. She stated that these numbers were determined on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis. Referring to the Statement of Net Assets on Page 37 (Exhibit #2) of the 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), Mrs. Mitchell explained that the General Fund (Governmental Activities) balance reflected a deficit of $6,759,433 because of the OPEB obligation. She further explained that this fund balance was determined on a GAAP basis, which requires the inclusion of all long-term assets and debt, as well as all obligations. Comparatively, Mrs. Mitchell referred to the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet on Page 39 (Exhibit #3) of the CAFR, and explained that the unassigned fund balance of $3,007,983 was determined on a non-GAAP basis, which members were accustomed to using during the budget process. She further explained that the Reconciliation of Governmental Fund Balances to Government-Wide Net Assets on Page 40 (Exhibit #4) of the CAFR accounted for the differences between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Statement of Net Assets. In response to Mr. Leary, Mrs. Mitchell stated that Moody’s and Fitch require the GAAP, so they will look at the deficit of $6,759,433. Referring to the OPEB Trust Schedule of Funding Status and Progress on Page 14 of Exhibit #1, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the OPEB funding level difference was related to the implementation of the new standards in 2009. She stated that the standard was changed from a pay-as-you-go basis to force local governments to recognize the OPEB expense when an employee is working and earning it, so that when an employee retires, the funds are available to cover it. She noted that the change brought local governments in line with the private industry. Mrs. Mitchell reviewed the Summary of Retirement Benefit Liabilities and Annual Required Contributions (Pages 15-17 of Exhibit #1). Referring to Page 16, she noted that if the City were fully funding the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) on a budgetary basis, $8,668,116 would need to be set aside in the General Fund, $733,242 in the Water/Wastewater Fund, and $2,361,175 in the Electric Fund. She stated that the total of the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) is $156,664,000, the total Actuarial Value of Assets is $40,074,666, and the total ARC for all the plans is $11,762,533.

COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 7, 2013 PAGE 4 Referring to Page 17, Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that the City is in the fourth year of the 10-year phase in plan for OPEB. Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 67 - Financial Reporting for Pension Plans and Statement No. 68 - Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions Mrs. Mitchell reviewed the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 67 & 68 (Pages 18-29 of Exhibit #1) and explained that the Board was changing the current standards (GASB 25 and 27). She stated that the GASB 67 would become effective in FY2014 and GASB 68 in FY2015. Mrs. Mitchell noted that, as reported on the Statement of Activities included on Page 38 (Exhibit #5) of the CAFR, the expenses for OPEB were approximately $6,534,630. She explained that this statement was reconciled with the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds, included on Page 41 (Exhibit #6) of the CAFR using the Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenue, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities on Page 42 of the CAFR (Exhibit #7). Referring to the Statement of Net Assets - Proprietary Funds on Page 43 of the CAFR (Exhibit #8), Mrs. Mitchell noted that the same reconciliation was performed for the Water/Wastewater and Electric Revenue Funds. She advised members that these were the areas of reporting that would be changing with the new GASB 67 and 68 requirements. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell reiterated that the new GASB 67 and 68 would result in a change in reporting; however, she assured members that the funding could remain the same. In response to Mr. Hutchison regarding changes to the Police Pension Plan, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that next year the City would have to include approximately $200,000; whereas, the City had been previously budgeting $95,000 per year. She noted that part of this was due to a reduction in grant money from the State. She indicated that the required amount would increase to approximately $400,000 in the following year. She recommended that the City dedicate any budget balances and carry forward toward the unfunded liability, as had been done in the past. She suggested that these funds be applied to the Police Pension Plan to allow it to become whole and run as it should, with the remainder of funds to be applied to the General Pension Plan. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Mitchell stated that, to her knowledge, the City had funded the Pension Plans based on actuarial studies and followed the actuary’s recommendations. The OPEB requirements became effective in 2009, so the City, along with everyone else, started these funding requirements from “ground zero.” She explained that her argument to the rating agencies was that the City had a plan and took proactive measures. She reminded members that the City set aside $6M in reserve before implementing the OPEB trust standards. As a result, when the City started the trust, the City already had $6M, which reflected the City’s proactive measures. Responding to Mr. Leary regarding measures that could be taken to address the unfunded liability, Mrs. Mitchell explained the importance of being mindful of employee benefits, noting that this would affect employees who are concerned about possible changes to their benefits. She reiterated that the OPEB costs should not all be the responsibility of the City’s citizens or its employees and

COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 7, 2013 PAGE 5 expressed the need to develop a balance in this regard to “share the pain.” In addition, she explained the importance of establishing and adhering to a funding plan, although Council would have the flexibility to take action counter to this plan each year. Mr. Koenig reminded members that the General Pension Plan was closed and that there were several employees who were members of the 457 and/or the Deferred Compensation Plan, which are “pay as you go” plans. He indicated that the only members of the Police Pension Plan were 48 retirees. Referring to the General Pension Plan, he explained that 194 people were receiving pensions in addition to active employees who are enrolled in the plan, resulting in growth of the liability. It was his feeling that the City should resolve Police Pension Plan liability issues first, followed by the General Pension Plan, and the City could then begin to work on OPEB liability issues. He indicated that it was very simple to calculate the liability for the Police and General Pension Plans; however, due to the new standards and the new health care law, it was difficult to determine the City’s true liability for OPEB. Elaborating, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the new health care law and contract negotiations would affect the OPEB liability. She stated that the actuary had agreed that there were too many unknowns to determine the liability at this time and that it could improve or become worse. Mr. Koenig advised members that in discussions, employees expressed their feeling that the City was at fault for not budgeting the required amounts and that employees should not have to suffer as a result. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City’s contributions were based on actuarial studies. She did not anticipate any change in benefits in either Pension Plan that would have an impact and felt that any change would be due to actuarial results versus assumptions. She assured members that the City had taken and would continue to take appropriate action to address liability issues; however, it was her feeling that OPEB should be given more attention in this regard. Mr. Bonar felt that staff should submit recommendations to City Council to begin the process of addressing the OPEB liability and that Council should take any action necessary. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that, as previously indicated by Mr. Koenig, the City should first resolve the Pension Plans’ liability issues and continue to follow the actuarial analysis for the OPEB, since the Pension Plans were closer to being resolved. Once the Pension Plans were resolved, focus could be given to the OPEB. She advised members that this was discussed with the actuary, who concurred with staff’s recommendations. She reminded members that the City did not know what effects the federal legislation would have on health care or the results of employee contract negotiations. Mrs. Williams requested that staff utilize laymen’s terms when making presentations to City Council, noting the difficulties in understanding accounting terminology and the frequent need to request staff to provide further explanation. Council President Leary reminded members that this was not just a City of Dover problem but a national problem and expressed his opinion that the City had been proactive in addressing the issues.

COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 7, 2013 PAGE 6 Mr. Hare noted that an $83M liability needed to be addressed and that Council, along with staff, would have to make difficult decisions. By unanimous consent, members took a brief recess. Meeting recessed at 6:45 p.m. and reconvened at 6:54 p.m. City of Dover Facilities - Maintenance and Capital Improvements Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a Presentation - City of Dover Facilities Discussion, January 2013 (Exhibit #9), which included the 2006 Space Needs Study results. In response to Mrs. Williams, referring to Page 7 of Exhibit #9 depicting Weyandt Hall, Mr. Koenig stated that the State of Delaware utilizes 1,295 sq. ft. of the facility and has a multi-year lease, renewable in five (5) year increments. He noted that the State was in its third year of a five (5) year lease. Referring to the concept of a bond issue, as suggested by Council President Leary, Mr. Bonar stated that although he agreed that it would be a good idea, he had concern with the public’s perception and obtaining their support. Prior to moving forward with the Master Plan, Mr. Hutchison suggested that staff work with the State of Delaware to develop a long-term lease agreement for the Weyandt Building, as well as the old library. He noted that rather than purchasing several buildings, the State of Delaware preferred to lease. He felt that if staff were successful in obtaining long-term leases for those buildings, this would benefit the City in moving forward with the Master Plan. Responding to Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, Mr. Bonar stated that although any required renovations could be negotiated with the State when developing the leases, the State would typically expect the City to make necessary repairs and/or renovations. After much discussion, Council President Leary noted that this would be a good time to talk to the State and also a good time to examine this issue from a capital market perspective. Mr. Anderson relayed concern regarding public support for this project, explaining that due to the economy, many City residents were having difficulty paying their utility bills, purchasing groceries, etc. As a result, he did not foresee supporting this idea for the next couple of years. In response to Mrs. Williams’ suggestion to utilize the old library, Mr. Koenig explained that the ultimate desire would be for all City staff to be located in the same facility. Mr. Hare suggested that if the City were to move forward with the expansion of City Hall, it should be done without any cost to the citizens. Council President Leary reminded members that the biggest mistake in building the new Library was that it did not go to referendum. He suggested that staff make a presentation to the public, explaining the situation and that a referendum vote be held.

COUNCIL FINANCIAL WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 7, 2013 PAGE 7 Mr. Bonar felt that although staff’s requests were very well grounded, he loathed the idea of spending money at this time for a new building. However, he noted that in five (5) years, there would be a dire need to take some action in this regard. As a result, he suggested that Council take staff’s ideas under advisement at this time and that Mr. Koenig explore the matter to determine the options available. In doing so, he suggested that staff take into consideration the idea of renovating the old library. He also suggested that there be a thorough discussion of this matter and an examination of the true costs involved. Mr. Hare suggested that this matter not be considered a priority of staff; however, he suggested that staff work on this project when time permitted. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 7:33 P.M. TRACI A. McDOWELL CITY CLERK All orders, ordinances, and resolutions adopted by City Council during their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013, are hereby approved. CARLETON E. CAREY, SR.

What Is Not Changing? • Current Funding Policy contributions do not change • GASB does not dictate funding requirements 20

What is Changing? • New Terminology o Total Pension Liability (TPL) • Actuarial Accrued Liability o Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) • Market value of plan assets o Net Pension Liability (NPL) • TPL less FNP; aka the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability o Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) o Annual Required Contribution (ARC) is gone o Net Pension Obligation (NPO) is gone 21

What is Changing? • Recognition of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAL) on employer balance sheets • Reporting no longer based on accounting; separate functions o Current Calculation: Annual Required Contribution (ARC) Less: Actual Contributions Net Pension Obligation (NPO) o New Calculation: Total Pension Liability (TPL) Less: Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) Net Pension Liability (NPL) 22

What is Changing? • Illustration of employer balance sheet o Current Calculation: Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $3,200,000 Less: Actual Contributions (3,200,000) Net Pension Obligation (NPO) $ 0 o New Calculation: Total Pension Liability (TPL) $55,000,000 Less: Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) (22,000,000) Net Pension Liability (NPL) $33,000,000 23

What is Changing? • Measurement of Plan Obligations o One mandated actuarial valuation method for determining benefit obligations o Potential Interest Rate Changes • Ability to use expected long-term annual investment return is limited • Actuary to determine if/when plan assets will become “exhausted” • Use Bifurcated discount rates if assets become exhausted • Discounting of expected benefit payments from exhaustion date based on long-term, tax-free muni bonds • Recent estimate of muni bond rates in 3.5% - 4.0% range • Plan Assets o No allowance for asset smoothing 24

What is Changing? • Police Plan Special Funding Situation o State Aid “Contributions” made by the State o GASB requires governments that are non-employer entities to recognize in their own financial statements a proportionate share of the NPL and pension expense o Potentially a portion of the police pension liability will be allocated to the State 26

What does it all mean? • No impact on current funding policy contributions; Highly recommend development of a formal funding policy, separate from the financial reporting calculations; In the past, the ARC became the de facto funding policy • Potential increase in plan’s benefit obligation o Not expected to be significant for General Employee Plan o May be significant for Police Plan since contributions have been about 60% of required in past few years • Immediate recognition of asset gains / losses on balance sheet o Currently smoothing gains/losses over 5 years o Can result in significant changes in NPL from year to year • Volatility - Expense • Impact of Plan Changes recognized immediately • Gain/Loss recognized over expected remaining service • Investment gain/loss amortized over 5 years 27

Other Post Employment Benefits • GASB 45 Issued June 2004 o Aligned accounting / financial reporting similar to defined benefit under GASB 25/27 • GASB currently deliberating improving existing standard of accounting and financial reporting for postemployment benefits o “One objective of this project is to improve accountability and the transparency of financial reporting in regard to the financial effects of employers’ commitments and actions related to OPEB.” o Similar language used for GASB 67/68 project • Conclusion: Similar financial reporting requirements / measurements are on the horizon for OPEB plan subject to GASB 45 28

“The new GASB standards will benefit users of these financial statements, as well as taxpayers, since state and local governments for the first time will have to report unfunded pension liabilities in their balance sheets, providing a clearer view of pension • AICPA President & CEO Barry Melancon obligations.” AICPA President & CEO Barry Melancon “…accounting changes do not alter the underlying fundamentals; $1,000 owed to a retired teacher in ten years under current standards will remain $1,000 owed in 10 years under the new standards. So policymakers should not let new numbers throw them off the path to sensible reform.” Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston Colllege Overall, GASB’s changes will likely make the new pension accounting measures more volatile than the funding measures.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on January 28, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Lynn (departed at 7:44 p.m.), Mr. Perza (arrived at 8:55 p.m.), Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Koenig, Mrs. Townshend, Deputy City Solicitor Pepper, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey (departed at 9:36 p.m.) was also present. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Leary declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Mr. Edward Thomas Christian, Jr., 9 Pennwood Drive, Dover read the following statement into the record: Good evening! My name is Edward Thomas Christian Jr.; my address is 9 Pennwood Drive, Dover, DE 19901. All glory, honor, praises and thanksgiving to the creator of Heaven and Earth. Mayor, City Council members, and Staff: kudos to you individually and collectively for your physical appearance, your demeanor, and your undertaking of serious and conflicting issues during City Council Meetings. President, I compliment you on the manner in which you preside during the City Council meetings. City Council members and staff, from the few council meetings I have attended, more so than the newspaper coverage visually and audibly, I can bear witness to the thoughtfulness and civility you display to each other and the desire, the effort you put forth to complete those ideas, those ideals, those projects which benefit and serve the City of Dover and its citizens. Councilman Perza, your solution to the renaming of a street to honor the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a mark of brilliance. The News Journal (and I quote)“but the street signs themselves served an effort at compromise.” I entitle the signage the celebration of signs. I do not know who gets credit for the masterpieces - the design, the coloring, the coming together of all - those signs give testament to the historical past and the present of the City of Dover, Delaware. All seated before, to the left, and to the right of me, I too say to you, in the words of the deceased R&B singer Eddie Kendricks, “Keep on Trucking.”

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 3 The following note received from Mr. Gardner’s daughter, Jena Gardner, was read into the record by the City Clerk: Dad, I'm so sorry I can't be there; but my English Professor isn't very nice when it comes to skipping classes. Please know that I am thinking about you. I know over the years that you have given your all to your work. I remember as a kid you having to leave me and mom during all the "scary" storms. It wasn't until I was older that I realized just how important your job was and all those people that relied on you and the others to get their electric back on. I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished! I love you!! Jena On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Carey presented the Certificate, City Plaque, and Dover Cup in appreciation of the years and service provided by Mr. Gardner. Mr. Gardner stated that he was very blessed to be able to begin working for the City right out of high school as a tree trimmer, move up to line work and, eventually become a supervisor. He commended management and Council for rebuilding the electric system over the past 15 years. Mr. Gardner thanked Mr. Les Blakeman, former Electric Director, for having faith in him and moving him into management. Mrs. Williams thanked Mr. Gardner for instilling in her a commitment to the Dover electric service. Mr. Hutchison stated that he remembered when Mr. Gardner started working with the City and he commended him for his leadership. Mr. Leary relayed best wishes on all of Mr. Gardner’s future endeavors.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council direct the City Clerk to place this Tribute in the permanent records of the City of Dover and that a copy of this Tribute be provided to the family of George J. Weis. ADOPTED: JANUARY 28, 2013 Mr. Hare moved for adoption of Tribute No. 2013-01, seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried (Mr. Perza absent). On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Carey presented the Tribute to Mr. Weis’ children, Nancy, Lawrence, and Thomas Weis. Ms. Nancy Weis, on behalf of her family, thanked members of Council for honoring their father. PROCLAMATION - BLACK HISTORY MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, on January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which empowered slaves to fight for freedom and was a pivotal milestone toward the abolition of slavery in the United States; and WHEREAS, a century later, segregation and other forms of discrimination persisted and black Americans were far from achieving the goals of justice and equality under the law; and WHEREAS, on August 28, 1963, hundreds of thousands of Americans of all genders, races, and religions marched in solidarity to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate their commitment to the cause of civil and economic rights; and WHEREAS, on this same day, in front of those assembled at the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his landmark "I Have a Dream" speech, appealing to the conscience of all Americans with words of power that continue to resonate through American life and culture today; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 5 WHEREAS, this year marks two historic anniversaries: the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History has selected "At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality: The Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington" as the 2013 National Black History Month Theme. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE do hereby proclaim February 2013 as BLACK HISTORY MONTH in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to study and reflect on the importance of these historic events and to renew their commitment to the goal of racial reconciliation in our community and country. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF THE GREEN AS A NATIONAL MONUMENT During the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Meeting held on January 14, 2013, members considered the designation of The Green as a portion of a national monument to be established in the State of Delaware. At that time, members referred the matter to Council with a recommendation that a public hearing be held and the surrounding property owners notified regarding Council’s consideration of this issue. Due to time constraints, this matter was considered by Council during their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013. Council approved staff’s recommendations for the designation of The Green as a national monument, as follows: 1) the historic preservation easement would only encompass the lawn area of The Green (area inside roads); 2) a public hearing would be set for Monday, January 28, 2013 to consider public testimony before final action is taken by City Council; 3) notice regarding the public hearing would be sent to all adjacent property owners within 200 feet of the easement area; 4) staff would be authorized to immediately begin work on a title search; 5) staff would be authorized to immediately begin work on the preparation of the historic preservation easement in conjunction with the State of Delaware and Attorney General's Office; and 6) staff would be authorized to immediately begin working with the City’s consultant on the Phase 1 Environmental Assessment (estimated cost $2,500); and with the stipulation that the City of Dover reserves the right to terminate or withdraw the application by February 25, 2013 in the event that the City finds the terms of the easement and/or historic preservation document package objectionable; and that staff organize a community meeting in advance of January 28, 2013. Mr. Lynn disqualified himself from any discussion or vote on this topic and requested permission to be excused from Council Chambers during Council’s discussion, explaining his belief that he had a conflict precluding him from engaging in this topic (departed at 7:44 p.m.). Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the steps that would be necessary for the City to act on this matter. He indicated that Ms. Laura Haynes, Ms. Lori James, Mr. Josh McGarrett, and Mr. Larry the National Park Service (NPS), were present to answer questions. Mr. Koenig advised members that Senator Carper’s Office had been working on establishing a national park in the State of Delaware and that this issue had been discussed in Delaware for a number of years. He explained that there were two (2) methods for creating a national park designation: 1) by a vote of Congress, whereby a park designation is created first and the related details are worked out over a period of

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 6 time afterward, and 2) through provisions of the Antiquities Act of 1906, which granted the President the authority to proclaim national monuments on federal lands or land interests that contain historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, or other subjects of historic or scientific interest. He noted that late last fall, because of the “log jam” in Congress, Delaware’s congressional delegation decided to pursue the second option and to propose that the President designate a national monument in Delaware. Mr. Koenig stated that the Mayor and Public Works Department staff attended a related meeting on approximately December 21, 2012 and were told that it would be necessary to “fast track” this matter if the City wished to participate. Mr. Koenig indicated that four (4) properties in the State were currently associated with the proposal (Woodlawn, the New Castle Courthouse and Green, the Old Sheriff’s House in New Castle, and the lawn area of the Dover Green). He stated that three (3) things must be accomplished by the City in order to be included in the national monument proposal: 1) Demonstrate that the City has a clear title to the property. Mr. Koenig explained that this had been a challenge to accomplish; research performed by Mr. William Pepper indicated that the City had the necessary land interest. Mr. Koenig stated his belief, based on correspondence received from Deputy City Solicitor Pepper, (Exhibit #1) that the City could demonstrate ownership of the property. 2) Perform a Phase I Environmental Assessment of the property to ensure that there were no environmental issues that would prevent The Green from meeting NPS standards for consideration as a national monument. Mr. Koenig stated that staff engaged Compliance Environmental, Inc., to prepare the Phase I assessment, which was received on January 24, 2013, was being reviewed by staff, and would be submitted shortly to NPS for their review. The environmental assessment was prepared under NPS guidelines and contained no information that would prevent the lawn area of The Green from being considered a part of a national monument. 3) The execution of a Preservation and Conservation Easement for the lawn area of The Green, as depicted on the map displayed (Exhibit #2). Mr. Koenig noted that the easement was needed so that the City could grant the Federal Government the rights required under the Antiquities Act for the President to declare this area part of the national monument. Mr. Koenig reminded members that this item was placed on the January 14, 2013 City Council agenda for consideration; however, at that point limited public information, other than a sample easement document, was available and a number of questions arose with respect to that document. On January 23, 2013, an informational meeting was held with staff from the City, Senator Carper’s Office, the NPS, and property owners around The Green. A notice was mailed to approximately 24 property owners in the area and a number of these individuals attended the meeting to express their concerns.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 7 Mr. Koenig noted that he had received correspondence from a property owner on The Green (Exhibit #3) (John Garey) expressing concerns about the proposal and that this individual felt that his reservations were shared by similarly situated property owners. Mr. Koenig reiterated that the proposed conservation and preservation easement included only the lawn area identified on the map and stated that this area would be identified in the proposed easement. He addressed the specific concerns mentioned in the letter, as follows: 1) Property Taxes - Mr. Koenig stated that he did not believe that property tax rates of properties surrounding the lawn area of The Green would be influenced because the preservation easement was intended to guarantee that the City of Dover would maintain The Green as it was being maintained today. He noted that the City was currently meeting the Secretary of Interior’s standards for the maintenance of the lawn area and it was intended that this maintenance would be continued in perpetuity. 2) Insurance Rates - Mr. Koenig reminded those present that the proposal was related to the public property known as the Dover Green, not to property owned by private interests around The Green. 3) Parking on The Green - Mr. Koenig explained that parking considerations would involve parking within the City right-of-way on the street designated as The Green and that discussions indicated that the easement was not intended to cover any of this right-of-way and would not encumber any of the parking or the area within the street. 4) Maintenance and Upkeep - Mr. Koenig reminded those present that the easement was intended to guarantee the maintenance and upkeep of the lawn area and that maintenance and upkeep of the surrounding private property area was guaranteed by the Property Maintenance Code of Dover, as well as any rules and regulations associated with the Historic District; therefore, he felt that granting the easement would not impose any additional burdens related to maintenance or upkeep of the private properties in the area. 5) Restrictions on Use - Mr. Koenig stated that current uses of The Green for community events (such as Old Dover Days and Concerts on The Green) were encouraged by the City of Dover and the NPS, complied with the Secretary of Interior’s standards, and that no conflict was anticipated in the future. He noted that if the City were to change the way The Green is used, it would be necessary to consult with and possibly obtain approval from the NPS and that the easement prescribed related conditions and procedures. He emphasized that use would be limited to the lawn area. 6) Restrictions on Exterior Appearance - Mr. Koenig noted that there were no structures associated with the easement document because there were no structures on the lawn area. He explained that restrictions on the exterior

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 8 appearance of private property surrounding The Green are governed by the City’s Historic District guidelines, property maintenance codes, code inspection procedures, as well as existing approvals required for changes to the picturesque buildings that exist as private or State property associated with The Green. Mr. Koenig stated that staff had been working with Deputy City Solicitor Pepper as well as representatives of the NPS to fashion the easement and various members of staff and attorneys (including Mr. Pepper and NPS attorneys) had reviewed this document. Members were provided a copy of the draft Preservation and Conservation Easement Deed (Exhibit #4). Mr. Koenig indicated that the questions of property owners had been addressed and that the remaining question was whether the City of Dover, as a community, was interested in having the lawn area of The Green included as part of a national monument for the State of Delaware and having it marketed and promoted by the NPS. He explained that Ms. Molly Ross, Special Assistant to the Director, NPS, had indicated that studies have shown that the designation of a National Park Unit (whether it be a national park or a national monument) had yielded at least $1M of economic benefit to each of the other 49 states. Mr. Koenig noted that this project was an economic development, marketing, and storytelling issue for the City, since the NPS staff indicated they would like to tell the story of Dover and The Green. He reiterated that if the City wished to participate, the easement would have to be signed, the environmental documentation must be provided, and a method of titling the property must be demonstrated, and the City has made a valid attempt to address these concerns. Referring to Page 4, Item #4 of the draft easement, which stated that “the grantee shall apply the following standards (hereinafter “the Secretary’s Standards”), as they may be amended from time to time,” Mr. Anderson questioned if unilateral amendment by the Federal Government caused staff any concerns. Responding, Mr. Pepper stated that since only “trees and grass” were involved in the proposal, he had no concerns with this provision. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig confirmed that the City would retain ownership of The Green under the agreement and that the proposal would have no impact on parking. He noted that Item #19 of the easement provided for the placement of a plaque not to exceed 24 by 24 inches in size on The Green. Responding to Mrs. Williams regarding his opinion as to whether there were any potential concerns with the proposal, Mr. Pepper stated that language applying to buildings was removed from the easement because only grass and trees were covered by the easement. He indicated his belief that nothing could happen to this area of grass and trees that could in any way impair or cause impediment to the citizens and property owners surrounding The Green. Mr. Pepper noted that Item #26 in the easement had been added at his suggestion to make it clear that nothing in the easement would affect surrounding property owners’ ability to use and develop their properties in a manner they see fit in accordance with applicable local law. He noted that if there were an existing applicable federal law, little could be done; however, he stated that the granting of this easement would not affect owners’ rights to use their property.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 9 In response to Mrs. Williams’ concerns regarding competition with tourists for parking along The Green, Mr. Pepper stated that parking had always been first come, first served in this area and felt that this was not something that should be changed at this point. Mr. Larry Josefowski, 29 South State Street, President, Friends of Old Dover, stated that this organization supported the the efforts of the City, the State, and the National Park Service toward monument status for the lawn area of The Green. He felt that this would confirm the importance of The Green and the City of Dover in the history of the United States at a national level. Mr. Josefowski stated that the early government buildings, residences, and offices surrounding The Green and the military, social, and commercial gatherings held there would provide another chapter of America’s story, in addition to marking The Green’s importance as the site where Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution. Mr. Josefowski believed that the project would provide free national publicity and exposure for the City of Dover through the NPS. Additionally, he felt the proposal would provide more protection for the The Green as the primary focal point of historic Dover, noting that recent attempts to streamline the functions of the Dover Historic District Commission indicate that not everyone agrees on the value of preservation. He reminded those present that the City would retain control over The Green, allowing such events as the summer concert series to continue, which he felt was a great way to draw additional people downtown and was in keeping with some of the historical purposes of The Green. Mr. Josefowski stated that Board of the Friends of Old Dover believed that prudent conservation would provide many benefits to the City and attract visitors, who would take the time to see historical and cultural sites in the surrounding area. He noted that the City had done a good job of providing additional parking areas in the City and, while not adjacent to The Green, felt it was not uncommon for visitors to have to walk a few blocks to a park site. He felt that the few blocks separating The Green from parking could be an economic development opportunity. Mr. Joseph McDaniel, 54 The Green, stated that he had lived on The Green from 1950-1954 and from 2004 to the present and enjoyed living there due to its history, its notoriety, the many events held there, and the tourists and guests who visit. He stated that he felt conflicted about the national monument, especially after reading the draft easement. He indicated concerns about the monument and stated that it had been difficult for residents to obtain information, noting that he read a related article in the local newspaper about a meeting on this matter, only to find out that the meeting had been held two (2) hours prior. He acknowledged being invited to a related meeting and receiving a draft easement upon entry; however, he had difficulty understanding the language in the document. Mr. McDaniel stated that representatives from the NPS made statements that “everything would probably be okay, to the best of my knowledge you will be able to do this, in my opinion you will be able to do this;” however, Mr. McDaniel had concerns. He questioned if having the Federal Government involved in holding events on The Green would “bog things down.” He questioned the benefits of the proposal, stating that he was satisfied with the City’s current management of The Green. Mr. McDaniel stated that he was unsure of what to think about the proposal and reminded those present that the future of the Historic District Commission would be considered by the City within the next month or two (2). Mr. Thomas Smith, 126 Hampton Drive, and owner of Delaware Made General Store, 32 W. Loockerman Street, stated that, as a citizen of Dover and a business owner in Downtown

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 10 Dover for 23 years, he fully supported the designation of the Dover Green as a national monument. He felt that this action would recognize The Green as a place that was unique in history and worthy of national recognition. Mr. Smith indicated that the designation would help to ensure that The Green would stay as it is forever and could not be built on, destroyed by development, or suffer loss of protection if local zoning laws were changed. He expressed his hope that this designation would mean more business and an increase in tourism, reminding members that many downtown businesses were struggling and more tourists would help them to survive. Mr. Smith believed that increases in tourism would mean more money spent downtown and in hotels, gas stations, and restaurants, resulting in more jobs for citizens. He felt that a national monument would generate more tourists, but not “hordes of them” as others feared. He felt that approving the proposal would assist downtown Dover to grow and thrive and asked members to support the designation of the Dover Green as a national monument. Ms. Mary Carroll, 36 The Green, advised members that she had lived at this address throughout her childhood and recently moved back to this location after residing in Washington, D. C. for 40 years. She stated her agreement with Mr. McDaniel’s remarks and questioned the benefits of the designation, in particular the percentage of the estimated $1M in economic benefits that might be realized by the City of Dover. If received, she felt that these funds should be used for parking, since she felt that parking was already a problem for residents and felt that improvements in parking would make this proposal worthwhile. She also stated that there was a lack of available information regarding the proposal and questioned if this matter must be decided at this meeting or if an extension could be granted to allow for additional information and greater understanding. Ms. Anne Hartnett Reigle, Wyoming, Delaware, stated that her family owns property at 4 The Green with one (1) commercial tenant (a law firm) and an apartment with a residential tenant. She stated her opposition to The Green becoming a unit of the NPS and objected to the City moving forward toward this action. She stated that she could not articulate her opposition as specifically as she would like to because she had not been provided with the specifics of the proposal. Ms. Reigle informed members that she had reviewed the draft easement but had not seen the results of the title search, no survey was attached, and that an attachment referencing a specific plan had not been included, and noted that the name of the grantee was not listed on the document; therefore, she stated her belief that the document was not nearly finished. She felt the process had been very rushed, noting that it did not go through the Planning Commission and was not vetted by the Historic District Commission or the Downtown Dover Partnership. She acknowledged that the matter was discussed at the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting; however, stated that it was placed on an expedited schedule and all stakeholders had not been heard. Ms. Reigle felt that comments regarding tourism dollars, storytelling, more people coming to The Green, and listing of The Green on the NPS website were speculative. She stated that she had spoken to owners of many businesses on The Green who were opposed to the project, especially law firms, and, to her knowledge, Mr. Smith’s comments were the first positive statements from the business community. She urged members to listen to affected individuals and hear their concerns about rising insurance costs, noting that her insurance agent indicated that her premiums would rise. Ms. Reigle was also concerned about loss of local control over activities on The Green, and the possible imposition of federal fees. She mentioned parking and traffic issues (which she stated had not been addressed in

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 11 the easement document) and general lack of information. She urged the City not to rush into the project and to provide more opportunity for discussion when more information was available. Mr. Troy Windham, 8 The Green, stated that he was a property owner and felt the process was being rushed and that property owners and City Council members had not been educated on this issue enough to make a decision. He expressed his understanding that the easement would lay ground for a national monument but could also be a stepping stone toward a national park, which would have different guidelines, and he asked that this be taken into consideration. Ms. Laura Haynes, Senator Carper’s Senior Policy Advisor for Energy, Environment, and National Park Issues, thanked Council, City staff, and the Mayor for their work on this project and stated that she was present on behalf of Senator Carper’s Office to voice support for the NPS Dover Green easement. She indicated that every year millions of Americans plan vacations around the National Park System and, as a result, every state except Delaware enjoys $1M or more in associated tourism revenue every year; therefore citizens from Delaware pay into the National Park System and receive no benefits. She reminded members that the idea of creating a national park in Delaware was not a new one and that Senator Carper and many people present in the room and throughout the State had been working on this project for over a decade and she had been involved for over five (5) years. Ms. Haynes stated that Delaware has a significant story to tell as the first state to ratify the Constitution (in Dover), the first state in which Swedes and Finns came ashore in America, the place where William Penn first landed in America, and the place from which Caesar Rodney set off to cast his tie-breaking vote for the nation’s independence. She felt that important stories in the nation’s history were not being told within the National Park System and this should be changed. The NPS proposed the Dover Green to be included in a Delaware national park in a 2009 resources study after numerous public meetings and discussions with local stakeholders. This idea spurred from a public hearing in Delaware, and was generated not “top down, but bottom up.” Ms. Haynes explained that legislation introduced by Senator Carper, Senator Coons, and Congressman Carney in years past also included the Dover Green and the intent had always been to put the property under a historical easement to be preserved for generations to come; however, road blocks were encountered in the legislation. She emphasized that the easement would include only the lawn, not the homes surrounding The Green, and would ensure that there would be no changes in how The Green was being run. Ms. Haynes explained that Senator Carper and the delegation would continue to pursue legislative efforts, but national monument status was a new option that was now available. If included, The Green would be treated no differently under national monument status than it would be under national park status; however, the window of opportunity for monument designation was small. She noted that the actions that Council was being asked to approve today would have to be completed regardless of the path taken for the Dover Green; however, delay could mean that The Green would be left out of Delaware’s national monument and the economic benefits that accompany that status. She stated that she could not promise that a positive vote today would guarantee inclusion, as this was a matter for the President to decide. She advised members that a vote in favor of the improved easement would allow Senator Carper and the rest of the delegation to fight for the New Castle sites and the Dover Green to be part Delaware’s first national park unit. In response to Mr. Hutchison’s question regarding the possible effect of a 30-day delay in deciding on this matter, Ms. Haynes explained that there was an existing “time crunch” because the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 12 Woodlawn property (part of the proposal) could not be retained by its current owner, the Conservation Fund, after February 15, 2013 for legal reasons. For this reason, the NPS was being “pushed” to encourage the President to designate a monument before that deadline. In addition, she noted that the Secretary of Interior, who had been a great advocate for a Delaware national park, would soon be retiring. He had visited Delaware personally and was doing everything he could to make that possible. She cautioned that there was no guarantee that the President would act within 30 days. Noting that many property owners had questions and the NPS had concerns, Mr. Hutchison expressed his view that these issues should be resolved before acting. Ms. Haynes reminded members of the deadline relating to the Woodlawn property and explained that the NPS would need time to “tie everything up” before sending the proposal to the President. She mentioned that there was an additional “political fight” that must be engaged in regarding this matter. She acknowledged that a positive vote during the meeting would not guarantee The Green’s designation; however, a negative vote or a vote to delay could mean exclusion from the package due to the timeline involved. In addition, she noted the possibility of a shut-down of the Federal Government and fiscal debt concerns in March, and that, for political reasons, the designation must be accomplished before that time or a long delay would be probable. She acknowledged shared frustration due to the rushed timeline; however, she stated that the window of opportunity was a reality. She noted that the City and the NPS had been able to address all of the concerns that had been heard in the public venues in the last four (4) meetings, Senator Carper’s Office was confident that the easement presented met those concerns, and moving forward would be the best hope for the Dover Green to become part of the national monument. Mr. William L. Witham, Jr., resident of Dover, Judge of the Superior Court of Kent County, advised members that it was his job responsibility to maintain and operate the Courthouse at 38 The Green. Mr. Witham stated that he did not oppose or favor the project, but indicated that, from a personal standpoint, he felt it would be a good thing for Delaware to have a national park. He noted that several of his concerns had been addressed. As a former general partner of a partnership that formerly owned 24 The Green and 26 The Green, he shared the concerns of other homeowners. He noted that if the project were to go through and was successful in bringing tourists to Dover, it may be a good thing; however, felt that The Green contains businesses, residences, and court operations, and parking could be an issue that he felt that the City may have to address in the future. Acknowledging that another layer of government would be involved, he stated that he wished to hear others’ comments and to protect the State’s interests related to operation of the new Courthouse (scheduled to open in the Spring) and the old Courthouse (which, when fully renovated, would have the oldest continuing operational courtroom in the State). Ms. Lynn Riley, Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs located at 21 The Green, stated that the DHCA is an owner on The Green and serves as a steward for Delaware citizens as well as an owner on the New Castle Green, which was also under consideration for easement with the NPS. She expressed the DHCA’s full support of the national park/national monument concept due to the high profile that they would bring to the State’s early history and the role that Delaware has played in the nation’s early formation. Ms. Riley stated support for the easement as a means of long-term

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 13 protection for maintaining the historic character, while allowing the usual community uses to continue. She explained that the DHCA has had a 40-year partnership with the NPS through the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and this has been a successful and trusting relationship due to the sharing of common goals and values in preserving historically significant properties, with the equally important goal of making them widely accessible to the public through interpretive programming, tours, web resources, and research. She reiterated that the DHCA’s experience with easements on State properties indicated that they were effective tools for preservation of historic properties. Ms. Cindy Small, Executive Director, Kent County Tourism, provided a copy of a letter from Kent County Tourism to Senator Thomas Carper supporting his efforts to have The Green named a national monument (Exhibit #5). She concurred with the comments of Ms. Lynn Riley, Mr. Tom Smith, and Mr. Larry Josefowski that the project would be very beneficial to residents and to businesses attempting to make a living in Dover and stated that it would be Kent County Tourism’s pleasure to promote the monument. Noting that there were questions regarding the ownership of The Green, she invited those present to join her on April 28, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. when William Penn would be brought to the Old State House (for a historical re-enactment) and could be asked directly who owns The Green. Mr. John Garey, owner of a business at 48 The Green, stated that many of his opinions had been expressed previously by Mr. McDaniel and Ms. Reigle. He felt that the process had been extremely rushed and that answers to questions had been slow in coming and were incomplete. He noted concerns regarding parking, noting that his building did not have a parking spot and there was no access behind his property. He informed members that if parking on The Green were limited or eliminated in the future, visitors to his building would have to walk down State Street and if weather were inclement, this could be a problem. Mr. Garey stated that other businesses in the area had similar parking concerns. He mentioned that he received a call earlier in the day from Deputy City Solicitor Pepper, who indicated that parking could be an issue in the future. Responding, Mr. Pepper stated that the roadway was not included within the easement and, therefore, would not be affected. Mr. Garey stated his concern that the Federal Government could ask the City to make further changes in the future, which would then eliminate the road and parking. Referring to Ms. Haynes’ comment that Senator Carper’s Office had been working on this project for 10 years, he noted that he had been physically located on The Green since the Summer of 2004 and an owner since 2008 and had not heard anything from the City or other government proposing The Green as a park or national monument, yet those present were indicating that failure to act today would cause the City to be excluded. Mr. Garey felt that those advocating this project wanted the other properties involved (locations in New Castle County) to be included in the national monument and were using The Green as a tool to accomplish this. He requested that the process be slowed and the project be given additional consideration so that the true benefit to the City and State could be determined, as well as the reason that the government wanted it so badly. Mr. Jack Richter, 733 Oak Drive (former Mayor of the City of Dover), expressed his belief in historic preservation. He felt that the proposal was a great thing for the City that would bring recognition and allow an opportunity to share the history of The Green, which was laid out in 1719,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 14 with the rest of the world. He reminded those present that the proposal included only the center of The Green, not the surrounding properties, which would be left to be viable and productive. He felt that this project would make the area “a living Williamsburg” and urged members to approve the proposal. Ms. Molly Ross, Special Assistant to the Director of the National Park Service, reminded those present that the boundary of the easement would be the lawn and that this proposal was not a stepping stone to other property for the Federal Government. She indicated that whether the area was designated as a national monument or a national park, it would take an act of Congress or an amendatory Presidential proclamation to change the boundary. Ms. Ross explained that the proclamation being contemplated was a major undertaking and such proclamations are not done often (128 similar proclamations since 1906). Ms. Ross noted that parking in the area would be under the jurisdiction of the City, not the NPS or Federal Government. She stated that NPS and the Department of Interior had the pleasure of working on the easement together, which she found a very constructive process involving lawyers from both the City and the Department of the Interior. She described the proposed easement as “minimal,” and one of the “lightest on the land” that she was aware of, noting that everything related to buildings or structures was removed and it was limited to the lawn and grass of The Green. Ms. Ross indicated that the document made clear that property owners would not be affected through the incorporation of an express clause proposed by Mr. Pepper and NPS was very comfortable accepting this language because they were trying to be very forthright. Ms. Ann Baker Horsey, 7 The Green, stated that she had lived at this location since 1979. She indicated her support for making The Green part of a national monument and felt that the potential benefits outweighed any concerns. She felt that residents’ questions had been answered and that lingering concerns could be worked out. She firmly believed that The Green belonged to the people and making it a part of the monument system was a great opportunity and benefit. Mr. Terry Jackson, 10 The Green, stated that he echoed the sentiments heard earlier tonight that that the City does a wonderful job of maintaining The Green and felt that the “carrot” of tourism dollars may or may not be realized. Aside from the reported benefits of being in the National Park System for tourism, his feeling was “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Members were provided correspondence from Mr. Henry Horsey, dated January 23, 2013, regarding this matter (Exhibit #6). Mr. Bonar moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried (Mr. Lynn and Mr. Perza absent). Mr. Bonar moved to accept the designation and recommend to the National Park Service (NPS) that the lawn area of The Green be considered for designation as a national monument. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams. Mr. Hare stated that after hearing the testimony, including the comments of residents of The Green, he felt that the process was moving very quickly. He felt that the City does a good job of taking care

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 15 of The Green and that it was up to those who live on The Green to decide whether or not they would be affected. He stated that he had heard only one (1) resident of The Green speak in favor of the proposal. He did not have a problem with the national park designation, but stated he was present to represent residents. He noted that The Green was a working area, unlike other national parks, and felt that the process was being rushed. He stated that he could not support the proposal without having all residents’ questions answered. Mr. Anderson acknowledged the challenges associated with the issue and that both sides had compelling arguments. He noted that this area had been the “heart of Dover” for almost 300 years and that the City would only have one (1) chance at this. Since the majority of his constituents that would be affected by this project were opposed to it, he indicated that he could not support it. Mr. Bonar expressed his opinion that designating the lawn area of The Green as a national monument would cause only the installation of a plaque and would provide an opportunity for the City to receive advertising revenue. He felt that people would not be drawn to the site as if it were the Grand Canyon. Acknowledging that The Green was a working area, Mr. Bonar explained that the National Mall in Washington, D.C. was also a working area. He felt that Council had an opportunity to gain more recognition for the City of Dover through the NPS. He reminded those present that the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) recently expended $1.3M to expand parking along North Street and felt that there was not a parking problem in the City but that people did not wish to walk. He noted that insurance rates could increase; however, he felt that these fees would be passed on in the form of higher rent or higher fees to clients. He stated that the compelling argument was that the President would be making a decision in the next 30 days and if Council did not vote to support it, this chance would no longer be available. Mrs. Williams stated that she was recently shocked and dismayed to hear about the possibility of the elimination of the Dover Historic District Commission. She indicated that she learned a great deal about Dover while formerly serving as a Commissioner. Mrs. Williams stated that if designation as a national monument would ensure the preservation of The Green, she would support it. On a call for the question, the motion to accept the designation and recommend to the National Park Service (NPS) that the lawn area of The Green be considered for designation as a national monument was carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (Dixon, Bonar, Williams, Hutchison, and Leary), two (2) no (Anderson and Hare), and two (2) absent (Lynn and Perza). Mr. Bonar reminded those present that discussions regarding the Historic District Commission would be taking place in the future; however, there was no intent to diminish the historic preservation status of the City of Dover, merely to streamline the process and allow this function to be handled by professional planners. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 14, 2013 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on January 14, 2013 with Councilman Anderson presiding in the absence of Chairman Bonar.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 16 Update - CDBG Program Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, reviewed the Status of FY-12 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projects. In reference to the Homeownership Assistance Program, she advised members that three (3) closings were scheduled for January 31, 2013, two (2) through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) and one (1) through CDBG and she expressed her thanks to the Committee for approving the reallocation of funds to the homeownership programs, noting that this funding had already been reallocated for future use. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 14, 2013 The Utility Committee met on January 14, 2013 with Councilwoman Williams presiding in the absence of Chairman Bonar. Request for Alley Abandonment (paper) - 971 and 975 Forest Street A request dated November 21, 2012 was received from Mr. Tolano D. Anderson for the abandonment of the unimproved alley located approximately 150 feet north of the intersection of Forest Street and Carver Road. He indicated that the alley condition, as well as an inability to safely utilize the space, creates a significant hardship. It was noted that Mr. Anderson owns all real property abutting the alley and he requested that the alley be conveyed to 971 and 975 Forest Street. Staff confirmed that the alley is unimproved and is considered to be a “paper” alley. Committee members were provided a map of the area. It was also reported that no public utility easements would be required. Records indicate that all abutting parcels are owned by Faithwork LLC. In light of the information provided, staff had no objection to the abandonment of the subject alley and recommended conveyance of the same to the parcels represented by 971 and 975 Forest Street with conveyance in proportions complimentary to the existing lot widths of those parcels. It was noted that 983 Forest Street appears to utilize the unimproved alley for access. Since this parcel is also owned by Faithwork LLC, staff recommended that the owner establish cross access easements between 971, 975, and 983 Forest Street at the time of conveyance. Staff recommended abandonment of the subject alley with conveyance to 971 and 975 Forest Street, currently owned by Faithwork LLC. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and, by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent), Resolution No. 2013-03 was adopted, as follows: A RESOLUTION VACATING AND ABANDONING A CERTAIN ALLEY SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 17 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: Section 1. The Council of the City of Dover hereby vacates and abandons the following alley: Adjacent to 971 Forest Street (ED-05-076.07-01-62.00) Being all that certain piece or parcel of land situated in the City of Dover, Kent County, State of Delaware, being an unimproved public alley running east to west, lying on the northerly side of and running parallel to Forest Street, said portion of alley beginning at a point identified as the northeast corner of parcel No. ED-05-076.07-01-62.00; thence running North 85 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds West 100 feet along the southerly line of a 15' wide alley to the northwest corner of parcel No. ED-05-076.07-01-62.00; thence running perpendicular across said 15' wide alley to a point in the northwest line of a 15' wide alley; thence running South 85 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds East 100 feet along the northerly line of a 15' wide alley to a point at the corner of parcel No. ED-05-076.07-01-61.00; thence running 15 feet along the easterly boundary of the 15' wide alley to the point and place of beginning and containing 0.0344 acres (1,500 square feet) of land be the same more or less. Adjacent to 975 Forest Street (ED-05-076.07-01-37.00) Being all that certain piece or parcel of land situated in the City of Dover, Kent County, State of Delaware, being an unimproved public alley running east to west, lying on the northerly side of and running parallel to Forest Street, said portion of alley beginning at a point identified as the northwest corner of parcel No. ED-05-076.07-01-37.00; thence running South 85 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds East 50 feet along the south line of a 15' wide alley to the northwest corner of parcel No. ED-05-076.07-01-62.00; thence running perpendicular across said 15’ wide alley to a point in the northeast line of a 15' wide alley; thence running North 85 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds West 50 feet along the northerly line of a 15' wide alley to a point at the corner of parcel No. ED-05-076.07-01-36.00; thence running 15 feet along the western boundary of the 15' wide alley to the point and place of beginning and containing 0.0172 acres (750 square feet) of land be the same more or less. Section 2. Since no person has been deprived of property by the vacating and abandoning of the aforesaid alley, no compensation is awarded. Section 3. All costs of conveyance shall be borne by the property owner. Section 4. This resolution shall be effective upon the filing of a revised plot plan of the aforesaid alley. ADOPTED: FEBRUARY 11, 2013 TEA/NAES Report (October) The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for October 2012 was provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 18 The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for October 2012. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). Update - Garrison Oak Technology Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that progress was being made on the Garrison Oak Technology Park Project. Since the last update, he stated that the City had authorized cleaning of the tax ditch that runs through the middle of the property, which is expected to be completed by the Kent Conservation District in advance of the full construction of the improvements associated with the Garrison Oak Technology Park. He stated that in recent weeks, staff had met several times with representatives of Calpine to discuss the status of each of the milestone issues related to the project. Mr. Koenig stated that the City is near final submissions for the Kent Conservation District stormwater approval, as well as the final re-submissions of the subdivision plan for the Park. He advised members that Becker Morgan was working individually with Calpine to finish site plan applications, which are expected within the next few weeks for final review and approval. He stated that late last year, the City issued design contracts for the 1.5 million gallon water tower, as well as a new sanitary sewer pump station, both to be located at the Garrison Oak Technology Park. Both of the design periods were coming to an end; therefore, final drawings on the design packages were expected in the near future and the projects would then be let out to bid. Mr. Koenig advised members of a draft document from Calpine including milestones established for the project which indicated that Calpine would like to pull a building permit around March 1, 2013. Staff was attempting to assure that the City’s construction schedule matches the milestones provided by Calpine. Mr. Koenig anticipated that Calpine’s air permit would be issued within the week. He noted that Calpine was working diligently with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the natural gas company to assure that the natural gas line would be extended from Cheswold. Calpine was also working with several independent property owners for the feeder line (referred to as the radial line) from the energy center to the 230kV tie since they were intending to cross private property. Mr. Koenig stated that to his knowledge, discussions between LS Power and Calpine are ongoing; however, Calpine was confident that they are nearing conclusion of those discussions. He noted that LS Power had filed a suit against the City of Dover Planning Commission related to construction dust and potential water plume coming off the energy center. He stated that, according to Calpine, these issues were being resolved and noted that LS Power had also indicated to him that there were ongoing discussions with Calpine to resolve the issues. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that energy must be produced to the grid by June 2015 for the first unit (309 megawatts) and that there was a possibility of testing in January 2015. He stated that the City had not continued further discussions regarding a purchase power agreement. He anticipated those discussions to occur in the next 90-180 days. Mr. Hutchison suggested that staff keep in mind what has happened between LS Power and Calpine in the future when the City begins negotiations with other vendors.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 19 Mr. Koenig indicated that staff had been meeting with the Division of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) regarding the City’s water allocation permit and that a letter had been received from DNREC indicating that the City is no longer a part of the regional Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) docket and that the City’s allocation permits were managed by DNREC rather than the DRBC. He advised members that this is a positive for the City, noting that the City had been working for the last two (2) to three (3) years with DNREC to get all water allocation permits in line with how the City’s facilities are producing. Mr. Koenig stated that this would be important when discussions begin for managing water resources related to the Garrison Energy Center and all water utilities. He advised members that, based on engineering analysis, there was a need for the City to make improvements to the water system; however, he assured members that there was enough water to supply Unit 1, or Block 1, of the Garrison Energy Center. If Unit 2 becomes activated, he stated that the City would need to develop additional water resources to ensure safe operating factors necessary to run the system with two (2) units running full blast on the hottest day of the year if a four (4) hour fire was underway. Mr. Koenig indicated that there were several conditions to be met on the engineering side. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig stated that upon issuance of the air permit, the next step for the City would be to conduct a final review of the site plan. He indicated that he would need to determine if the City could issue a building permit while there was an outstanding issue with LS Power, noting that he would prefer the LS Power issue to be resolved before any further action was taken in this regard. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 14, 2013 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on January 14, 2013 with Chairman Lynn presiding. Draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) - Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 In accordance with Section 46 of the City Charter, the City's financial books are audited by independent auditors each year. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, submitted the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 and reviewed key points of the Report. It was noted that all financial transactions were audited by S.B. & Company, LLC. She introduced Mr. William Seymour, Auditor with S.B. & Company, whose opinion was included in the report. However, she noted that the auditor had not completed the management letter since they were continuing to work on the federal grant audit and report on internal control and that Mr. Seymour would provide a presentation in this regard upon completion. Referring to Page 37 of the report, Mrs. Mitchell noted that the amount of unrestricted total net Assets was -$6,759,433, which was the result of the non-current liabilities due in more than one (1) year, including the liability for medical benefits totaling $11,179,542. She advised members that the Balance Sheet, as reflected on Page 39, depicted totals without the long-term liabilities and long-term assets and showed an unassigned fund balance of $3,007,963 (considered spendable sources). She

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 20 indicated that these were the reported amounts that members were familiar with from working through the budget process. On Page 41 of the Report, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the deferred revenue, in the amount of -$582,144, was the result of the City having to reclassify prior year revenues that had not yet been collected (aged receivables) and to reduce the fund balance for financial report presentation purposes, and explained that this would not be reported as such for budgetary purposes. She reminded members that ordinances were adopted recently that put “teeth” into some of the collections; therefore, she believed this amount would change in the future. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that staff did not submit any mid-year review budget adjustments; therefore, everything was required to remain as originally budgeted until the end of the fiscal year. This was due to timing and staffing issues. She felt that when staff presents this year’s budget review, any significant changes would be included. The Committee recommended acceptance of the draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). Proposed Ordinance #2013-01 - Amending Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 22 - Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that, in 2001, the City of Dover adopted the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) based upon the maps and text provided by the DAFB in their Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) study to ensure that development of lands surrounding the Dover Air Force Base (DAFB), specifically within the zones identified by the Air Force as the Noise Zones, Clear Zone, and Accident Potential Zones, proceeds in a manner that protects the public health, safety, and welfare, as well as the viability of the DAFB. She explained that the overlay zone works in conjunction with the underlying zoning district of each property to ensure that development in these areas is compatible with the noise and other aspects of DAFB flight paths. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the DAFB released an updated AICUZ study in 2010 which included revised noise contours. She stated that staff used the updated information for the proposed amendments to the text of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the AEOZ. Mrs. Townshend noted that the proposed changes were primarily housekeeping changes and were directly related to the AICUZ study provided by the DAFB. Members reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2013-01 amending Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 22 - Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ). Mrs. Townshend advised members that a recommendation for adoption would necessitate a Comprehensive Rezoning of the area, which would be presented at the conclusion of this item. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-01.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 21 Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Townshend assured members that staff worked with the DAFB Community Planner in developing the proposed amendments and have received their approval. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-01. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent.) (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Proposed Ordinance #2013-02 - Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map of the City of Dover by Changing the Boundary of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) in Accordance with the 2010 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study Published by the Dover Air Force Base Mrs. Townshend explained that the recommendation for adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-01 would necessitate amendments to the Zoning Map and that adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-02 would incorporate the changes to the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone into the Zoning Map as the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ). Members were provided Proposed Ordinance #2013-02 amending the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map of the City of Dover by changing the boundary of the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ) in accordance with the 2010 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study published by the DAFB. Mrs. Townshend indicated that Proposed Ordinance #2013-02 amending the AEOZ was being processed as a Comprehensive Rezoning (Appendix B – Zoning, Article 10 – Planning Commission, Section 5 – Amendments, Subsection 5.4), since the rezoning was the result of a formal study by the DAFB; therefore, staff sent 685 letters to affected property owners and held a public workshop on November 8, 2012 to answer questions. She advised members that some properties would be removed from the AEOZ Noise Zones as a result of the rezoning while others would remain in the AEOZ Noise Zones; however, the boundary locations on their properties would change. She noted that no changes to the Accident Potential Zones or Clear Zone were proposed. Mrs. Townshend referred to a map depicting those parcels that would be removed from the Noise Zones. She noted that the map indicates that the Noise Zones are shrinking and the Accident Potential Zone and Clear Zone remained the same. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-02. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-02. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). (The First Reading of the proposed ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Proposed Ordinance #2013-03 - Amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant Buildings Being aware that vacant buildings detract from community appearance, provide locations for nuisance behaviors, and consume City staff time in responding to complaints or checking to ensure

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 22 that vacant buildings are kept secure, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that in 2006, City Council adopted the Vacant Building Ordinance to reduce the community nuisance caused by vacant buildings. In addition to requiring the registration of vacant buildings and requiring that owners of vacant buildings pay a registration fee, the ordinance also tasked the City with inspecting vacant buildings to ensure that they are maintained and secured. Mrs. Townshend advised members that a number of vacant buildings in the City had become locations of arson due to owners not keeping them properly secured. In addition, she stated that the problems caused by vacant buildings had been exacerbated by the economic downturn. Members reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2013-03 amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant Buildings. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the proposed amendments were primarily housekeeping amendments that would contribute to clarity and ease of administration. In addition to the proposed housekeeping provisions, she indicated that the amendments included increased registration fees for vacant non-residential buildings greater than or equal to 10,000 SF. Mrs. Townshend explained that the current fee schedule failed to provide a disincentive to vacancy, particularly for many of the large commercial box buildings. She advised members that the Planning and Inspections Department currently devotes one (1) full-time inspector to monitoring, inspecting, and working with property owners on vacant buildings. So far in Fiscal Year 2013, $27,500 had been collected in vacant building fees. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-03. Responding to Mr. Anderson in reference to Line 52 of the proposed ordinance, which would shorten the time allowed before providing the City building inspector access to vacant buildings from 90 to 30 days, Mrs. Townshend explained that after waiting 90 days, particularly in foreclosure scenarios, the properties may already be a nuisance to the neighbors. As an example, she stated that on several occasions, although a property may have been vacant for 90 days, because utilities were not disconnected and payment was being made for several of those days, staff could only document that it had been vacant for 30 days. In these instances, although neighbors may have been submitting property complaints, staff could not require registration or take any action in this regard. Concurring with Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that information regarding vacant buildings could be forwarded to the Economic Development Office, noting that the City has several incentives for vacant commercial buildings, such as tax abatement for buildings over 20,000 SF, permit and impact fee waivers, and tax abatement for buildings over 5,000 SF for the value of the renovations. Mr. Hare relayed his concerns with subjecting responsible property owners (those who maintain their properties and list them for sale with a realtor) to the same increase in registration fees as those owners that do not take the necessary steps to maintain vacant properties. He questioned the possibility of penalizing only those property owners who create problems. Responding to Mr. Hare’s concerns, Mr. Lynn noted that when a property owner takes responsibility to maintain vacant property, is actively marketing it, and has it listed with a realtor, there is an exemption from the registration fee. Mrs. Townshend noted that the current ordinance allows for

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 23 such an exemption for three (3) years and suggested the possibility of extending this time limit due to the current economy. However, she cautioned members that even if a property is listed for sale, a property owner may have no intention of selling. Elaborating, Mr. Lynn stated that although there may be a for sale sign, the property may not be listed at a reasonable market price and the property owner may be claiming losses on income tax returns, leaving the City with buildings that are eyesores. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that there were approximately 350 vacant buildings in the City. Mr. Lynn stated that the purpose of the proposed amendments was not to hurt those property owners who were actively trying to market properties for fair market value but rather address the large and growing problem of empty buildings that are not being marketed and are eyesores and safety concerns. Referring to the concerns of Mr. Hare, as questioned by Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Townshend stated that she would rather extend the period of time for exemption than put staff in the position of having to determine which properties are well maintained. She suggested extending the time period for the exemption to five (5) years. Mr. Philip McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, stated that he serves as the Chairman of Kent County Association of Realtors Public Policy Committee and read comments regarding the proposed ordinance. Mr. Anderson moved to suspend the rules to allow Mr. McGinnis an additional two (2) minutes for remarks, seconded by Mr. Rushe and carried by a vote of four (4) yes (Anderson, Hare, Rushe, and Shevock) and one (1) no (Lynn). Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the inclusion of a commercial unit within a building in the definition of a vacant building was specified in Line 22 of the proposed ordinance. In talking with Mr. McGinnis, she stated that replacing “commercial unit within a building” with “structure” would resolve his concerns. It was her opinion that by making that change, a building such as Value City would continue to be viewed as a separate building, but a building where the upstairs is occupied and the downstairs is unoccupied (or vice versa) would not. Based on the discussion, Mr. Lynn suggested that a workshop be held to allow staff the opportunity to work with the community regarding possible amendments to the proposed ordinance. The Committee recommended that Proposed Ordinance #2013-03 be referred back to staff to allow them to hold a workshop to develop amendments for consideration and that staff be instructed to include residential properties. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 24 Proposed Ordinance #2013-04 - Amending Chapter 22 -Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X - Rental Dwellings Members were provided Proposed Ordinance #2013-04 amending Chapter 22 - Building and Building Regulations, Article X - Rental Dwellings to create a Crime Free Housing Program. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the Department of Planning and Inspections had been working cooperatively with the Police Department to address problem rental properties. She explained that the Community Policing Unit works with apartment complexes to implement a crime free multi-housing program, which includes a seminar for complex managers and a lease addendum. The program has been successful in helping apartment complex managers address criminal/nuisance behavior of tenants and guests. In working with the Police Department, she stated that the Department of Planning and Inspections was looking to expand this program to all rental property owners and managers and require participation in the program as part of the Rental Dwelling code requirements. Mrs. Townshend explained that the proposed ordinance would require landlords to participate in a crime-free housing program, including participation in a crime-free housing seminar offered by the Dover Police Department, and the use of a crime-free housing addendum to leases. In addition, she stated that the proposed ordinance would allow for prorating rental permit fees for permits purchased after the beginning of the permit year. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-04. Mrs. Townshend advised members that, at the request of Mr. Anderson, staff drafted amendments for the Committee’s consideration. She stated that Proposed Amendment #1 would allow landlords to opt out of the crime-free housing requirement by paying a per dwelling surcharge on rental permits; Proposed Amendment #2 would exempt licensed real estate agents from the requirement to attend the crime-free housing seminar, unless their rental permit was suspended for failure to enforce the crime-free housing lease provisions; and Proposed Amendment #3 would not include use or possession of illegal drugs as a violation of the crime-free housing lease addendum. In response to Mr. Shevock regarding instances when a landlord would not be available to attend the required seminar, Mrs. Townshend suggested further discussion with the Police Department for possible solutions, such as the creation of an online class. Mr. Hare relayed his concerns with creating requirements for excellent landlords who have never caused problems in order to address issues created by other landlords. He suggested developing requirements specifically for the problematic landlords instead of penalizing those that have done everything the City has required. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained the difficulty in differentiating between “good” and “bad” landlords. She reminded members that it was only a two (2) hour seminar and not onerous. In addition, she reminded members that those who wish to drive a boat are required to take a boater safety course so as not to be a nuisance to others on the water. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that, currently, out-of-town (absentee) landlords are required to have a local agent. An out-of-town landlord would have the option of

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 25 hiring a real estate agent to take care of the property and set up the lease in accordance with the provisions, or could attend the seminar, or have a relative or local agent attend on their behalf. She also confirmed that if the tenant were a relative or someone who the landlord did not have to worry about with regard to crime-free housing, they could simply pay the extra $50. In reviewing the proposed ordinance, Mr. Rushe stated that it did not include a good definition of criminal activity. He noted that Amendment #3 would not include use or possession of illegal drugs as a violation of the crime-free housing lease addendum and questioned why certain illegal activities would not be a violation and others would. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the City Solicitor had reviewed the proposed ordinance only and not the amendments. In addition, she stated that the Police Department’s Lease Addendum used with their Crime Free Multi-Housing Program was upheld in court; therefore, staff would utilize the template used by the Police Department. Mr. Rushe questioned how oral leases would be handled since there is no requirement under Delaware Law that a lease be in writing. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the City of Dover does not allow utility service to be established without a lease. Noting that there are landlords who keep utilities in their names, she stated that the City would require the Lease Addendum to be on file; therefore, in those instances where there is an oral lease, the City would need the Lease Addendum. Council President Leary reminded members that the original intent of the proposed ordinance was not to address “nuisances” but rather activities that are dangerous, such as neighborhood terrorism, etc. He suggested that everyone keep focused on this original intent during their deliberations. At the request of Mr. Anderson, Master Corporal Bernat assured members that the purpose of the Crime-Free Housing Ordinance was not to burden realtors or penalize owners of rental properties. He stated that the program would be kept short and made as convenient as possible, with the purpose of providing education. He explained that landlords of some of the problem houses were not familiar with the landlord/tenant law, which has been problematic when they want to deal with problems but do not know what to do. The seminar would educate landlords to allow them to be more responsible. In addition, he indicated that eviction is the last level of action to be taken; however, the possibility of eviction can be a motivator for both the owner and tenant. MCpl. Bernat stated that many times renters do not have an investment in the neighborhood so they continue with dangerous activities. Although it was not the intent to evict individuals, he stated that it was not desired that residents who were living lawfully and are credible citizens leave as a result of those causing problems. In response to Mr. Anderson, MCpl. Bernat confirmed that the Multi Crime-Free Housing Program has been used for a decade and utilizes the same Lease Addendum that had been upheld in court and was legal. He advised members that this program had been a success for both the management of multi-housing and the community. Mr. Lynn noted the receipt of correspondence from Ms. Maureen Bauer dated January 10, 2013. Ms. Maureen Bauer, 22 Kent Circle, indicated that when she moved into The Hamlet over ten (10) years ago, it was a nice place to live. She enjoyed going outside, visiting neighbors, taking dogs for walks, etc. She indicated that this was not the case anymore due to a few nuisance rental properties

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 26 where, although the landlords are notified of certain activities, they do not take any action to resolve the issues. She stated that there was no recourse other than calling the police every time something occurs. She advised members that she lives in fear and that there have been good, upstanding residents that have moved due to these nuisance properties. Mr. Phillip McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, stated that he serves as the Chairman of Kent County Association of Realtors Public Policy Committee and read comments regarding the proposed ordinance. He stated no objections to the proposed ordinance as long as licensed real estate agents and professional property managers were exempt, explaining that these individuals are educated to serve as professional property managers, are trained to include lease clauses that follow the statute regarding criminal activities, and are aware that the landlord/tenant code is required for residential dwelling units whether they are oral or written leases, etc. As licensed real estate agents and professional property managers, he stated that they are better trained since this is their business and he noted that the lease amendment that they currently use may be better than the one proposed. Responding, Mr. Lynn suggested that Mr. McGinnis provide staff with a copy of the lease amendment utilized by the professional property managers for possible improvements to the proposed lease addendum. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Townshend stated that the current proposed ordinance would require both the owner and agent to take the required seminar and suggested that staff be provided an opportunity to make amendments prior to the First Reading. Mr. Hare stated that he would support the proposed amendments if those landlords or property owners that have not had any problems could take the seminar online and those handling properties where there have been complaints and/or violations be required to attend the seminar in person. Responding, Mrs. Townshend felt confident that an online seminar could be made available. She noted that there are over 3,000 rental permits; therefore, staff would need to roll out the startup of the program and she assured members that if there were any concerns, staff would report back to members for their review and consideration in resolving the issues. Mr. Rushe reiterated his concerns that the proposed ordinance includes what is not criminal activity but not necessarily what criminal activity is. If it included just an arrest and eviction proceedings were begun, he questioned how the tenant could defend himself/herself without violating their 5th Amendment Right while awaiting trial. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the City Solicitor indicated that the proposed ordinance should refer to convictions. She assured members that the proposed ordinance could be amended to clarify that criminal activity would apply to those who have been “convicted of any crime.” Council President Leary relayed concerns that members were losing track of the bigger issue, explaining that if there were multiple calls for disturbance of the peace, etc., at the same address, he felt this would be enough to start eviction proceedings. It was his opinion that the purpose of the proposed ordinance amendment was to address the peace and security of neighborhoods and that courtroom convictions were something completely different.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 27 Concurring with Council President Leary, Chief James Hosfelt, Dover Police Department, advised members that it could be years before a courtroom conviction is issued, explaining that it is not uncommon for a drug case to drag on for one-and-a-half years, which would result in having an ordinance where no action could be taken for that period of time. Mr. Anderson noted that 26 complaints were called in to the Police Department regarding a problem residence referred to previously. Mr. Rushe moved to recommend that Proposed Ordinance #2013-04 be referred back to staff to allow them the opportunity to make amendments in accordance with the Committee’s discussion, seconded by Mr. Shevock. Mr. Anderson stated objections to delaying action, explaining that he had experienced such problems personally and observed what it does to a neighborhood when there is wide-scale illegal activities and nothing can be done to resolve the problems. Having had a problem property next to his residence, he advised members that it took two (2) years before any action was taken to rectify the problem and two (2) additional years for the neighborhood to restore itself to a point where the children could play outside safely, his wife could walk safely at night, etc. He observed this residence as a “crack house” with people going in and out during all hours, illegal weapons, etc. As a result, he stated that there were burglaries in the area and the home became a hub for theft and selling stolen property. Mr. Anderson felt that it was time for action to be taken and that staff could make additional amendments to be presented in a couple of weeks. Concurring, Mr. Lynn reminded members that this proposed ordinance follows gang hearings, discussions about adding additional police officers, etc., and was a part of a comprehensive plan to get serious and tough on crime in Dover. He also felt that staff could make revisions to the proposed amendments and that further discussion could take place during the Council meeting. Mr. Rushe moved to amend the motion to specify that the additional amendments made by staff be presented to Council for their consideration of Proposed Ordinance #2013-04. The Committee recommended that Proposed Ordinance #2013-04 be forwarded to City Council for their review and consideration without a recommendation by the Committee. During the Council meeting, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the Ordinance would create a “Crime Free Housing” program which would require landlords to participate in a crime free housing seminar and the use of a crime free lease addendum. If the provisions of the addendum were not enforced, the City could suspend the rental permit. Mrs. Townshend noted that a number of concerns were raised during the Committee meeting and in a letter from local Realtors. As a result, she met with Deputy City Solicitor Pepper, Police Chief Hosfelt, MCpl. Bernat, and Councilman Lynn to develop two (2) staff amendments.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 28 The first amendment, SA#1 to Ordinance #2013-04 (Exhibit #7), would create clearer criteria for when an eviction would be necessary, as follows: 1) a felony arrest, 2) three (3) or more arrests for Class A misdemeanors within 12 months, or 3) other arrests whereby the Chief of Police recommends eviction due to the frequency or nature of the arrest. Mrs. Townshend stated that the amendment would provide clear criteria for the landlords, tenants, and the City. It would also create a process where the Chief of Police would provide notification to the Planning and Inspections Department, who would in turn notify the landlord that it was time to proceed with an eviction. The landlord would have 30 days from the date of the certified notice to initiate the eviction. Mrs. Townshend noted that suspension of a rental permit could occur if the property owner or manager failed to initiate eviction or if they failed to participate in the seminar. The second amendment, SA#2 to Ordinance #2013-04 (Exhibit #8), would replace the word “near” with “within 500 feet of” to specify the distance from a rental dwelling within which criminal activity would violate the crime free lease addendum. Mr. Hare asked if there was a provision to allow landlords with no violations or misdemeanors to attend the seminar online. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the seminar would be offered online to all landlords; however, that language was not included in the amendment. Mr. Hare requested that it be included to ensure that an online seminar is developed. Mrs. Townshend suggested adding a statement at the end of Line 123. Mr. Bonar moved to add language regarding the availability of an online seminar to the appropriate Staff Amendment, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Dixon expressed concern with proper notification to the tenants prior to eviction, in accordance with the landlord/tenant code. Mrs. Townshend stated that the landlord would be responsible for the eviction process. She also noted that the required seminar would help the landlords with the landlord/tenant code and the proper procedures for notification and eviction. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Townshend stated that the City would not ensure that the landlord followed the landlord/tenant code in their eviction process and stated that the Court would be responsible for determining if the landlord followed the process properly. Mrs. Townshend stated that the City would only step in if the landlord had been notified to begin the eviction process and failed to do so. Mrs. Williams asked if the City would be liable if the landlords misrepresented themselves in court. Responding, Deputy City Solicitor Pepper stated that the Ordinance obligates landlords to initiate and prosecute with effect. If they have not followed the landlord/tenant code, the process would have to be re-started. Mr. Bonar asked if eviction based on an arrest instead of a conviction would infringe upon the tenant’s constitutional rights. Mr. Pepper stated that the language is similar to Federal Regulations included in public housing leases, which have been upheld in court.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 29 Mr. Perza asked for clarification with regard to the distance referenced in Line 131. Mr. Pepper responded that he would interpreted it as being measured from the lot line. Mr. Perza, referencing Line 135, asked if “Shall not permit the dwelling unit to be used for or to facilitate any criminal activity” was strict liability, meaning that any criminal activity on the premises shall result in the City initiating the notice, or if there would be due process for the landlord to be able to say that he did not permit it, it just occurred. Mr. Pepper compared this language with “maintaining a dwelling” or “maintaining a vehicle” as associated with the drug laws. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Pepper stated that the landlord would no longer be able to rent that property if the landlord fails to act and the City revokes their rental permit. Mrs. Townshend stated that the tenant would be given 30 days notice to vacate the property. Mr. Perza questioned whether the General Assembly had been approached regarding amending the Delaware Code to include security deposits or summary possession deposits to establish an escrow account at the beginning of the lease, if the City is requiring landlords to initiate summary possession actions. Mr. Pepper felt that the cost could be recovered from the security deposit if the case were successful. Mr. Perza suggested researching the matter further since Delaware Code states specifically what the security deposit can be used for. Mrs. Townshend advised members that once a rental permit is revoked, there is a $100 fee to reinstate the permit, and any and all code violations would have to be corrected before the permit is issued. She reminded members that there are a number of rental properties in the City that are literally tearing apart the neighborhoods. The goal is not to capture every arrest but to make these neighborhoods safer by shutting down the problem rentals. Mr. Hare expressed concern with potentially evicting a resident who had been wrongly arrested and asked if there was any flexibility to postpone the eviction for 90 days or so to investigate the case. Mr. Pepper stated that a preliminary hearing would be held within 20 days. If the defendant waived that hearing, they would be conceding that there was sufficient probable cause to believe that they committed that crime. Mr. Anderson stated that he would be proposing amendments that would change SA#1 (a)(1) from “Any arrest for a Felony” to “Any conviction for a Felony”; change SA#1 (a)(2) from “Three or more arrests for Class A Misdemeanors within a 12-month period” to “Three or more arrests for Class A Misdemeanors or above within a 12-month period.” He stated that the heart of this ordinance would improve City life, along with dealing with the vacant buildings. Mr. Perza suggested including other offenses, such as disorderly conduct and offensive touching, which do not rise to the felony level. Mr. Bonar suggested that all of the amendments proposed during the discussion should be consolidated and presented as a whole. Mr. Bonar moved to refer Ordinance #2013-04 - Amending Chapter 22 -Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X - Rental Dwellings back to the Legislative, Finance, and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 30 Administration Committee for further review. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no. Discussion - Role and Scope of the Historic District Commission and the Historic District Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that, in recent months, there have been a number of discussions about the role of Dover’s Historic District and, in particular, the Historic District Commission. She stated that some members of the community have faulted the Historic District Commission with adding roadblocks to projects that would support downtown redevelopment or creating impediments to economic development and growth, while others see the Historic District Commission as important caretakers of our City’s rich history. Many of the discussions about the Historic District Commission’s role had taken place in informal venues among property owners, business owners, elected officials, and other stakeholders in the community. She indicated that the discussions had not, in recent years, taken place as a public deliberation, bringing together stakeholders on all sides of the issue to develop a common ground solution that would support economic growth while preserving the City’s historic character. Given the various concerns that had been shared by a number of stakeholders, staff recommended that the Planning Office hold a public workshop (more than one (1) if necessary) by the end of February 2013 to discuss the role and scope of the Historic District and the Historic District Commission and that staff report back to the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee in March 2013 with clear recommendations on whether and how the role and scope of the Historic District and/or the Historic District Commission should be modified. In response to Mrs. Williams with regard to any effect the recommendation could have related to (preservation/conservation) grant monies, Mrs. Townshend stated that, to her knowledge, staff’s recommendation would have no effect regarding grants; however, if the City were to eliminate the Historic District, she stated that there could be potential consequences. She assured members that definitives regarding this matter would be researched by staff. She reminded members that the City had been working toward becoming a certified local government and having the Historic District Commission was a part of that certification. Mr. Larry Josefowski, 323 S. State Street, advised members that he serves as President of the Friends of Old Dover and he submitted and read portions of the letter into the record, as follows: “It is interesting to hear some of the discussion regarding the role of the Historic District Commission, and by extension the Historic District, being discussed in economic terms. It is important to talk about the Commission, the district, and the guidelines that govern the Historic District because by weakening the process of one – the proposed elimination of the Historic District Commission-the importance of our Historic District Guidelines is decreased. It is a statement of convenience to place the perceived economic faults of Downtown Dover towards the Historic District Commission, and by extension, the Guidelines themselves. Historic structures that have been demolished or significantly altered promote the loss of character that enrich the lives of people today. Part of the story

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 31 of Dover – a story stretching back 330 years- is missing. Have there been economic benefits of these actions? A strong historic character is not an impediment to economic development...it can be just the opposite, a strong draw for tourism, and a perfect partner for businesses, museums, colleges, schools, and government. We are doing a better job of promoting our historic area, and keeping an aesthetically cohesive historic district, and the appropriate oversight, makes economic sense. Having a separate Commission helps to guarantee the process is followed...and that helps to ensure better design. There is a greater sense of relatedness, more innovative use of materials, and greater public appeal within historic districts than in areas without historic designations. Our historic districts provide a very real educational benefit. The preservation helps our current generations, as well as generations to come, the very story of Dover, as the architecture and structure provide the best possible record of ourselves and our communities. And, perhaps most importantly, it is the main characteristic of the City of Dover. Try to visualize, if you will, Dover without The Green....or try to imagine a copy of the Real Estate newsletter Open Door or the weekly house listings in the Post or the State News without a single mention of homes being in or near "Historic Dover." The Friends of Old Dover urges the city to not only continue the protection of the Historic District by retaining the Historic District Commission to oversee the Guidelines that have stood us well over the years, but to strengthen the process by recognizing the value that this process has brought the city. There may be problems with Dover, but removing the oversight in the interest of expediency is not the solution.” At the request of Mr. Josefowski, eight (8) individuals in attendance indicated their support of the statement read into the record. Mr. Lynn urged those interested in this matter to attend and participate in the workshop. Ms. Terry Graham, 211 Delaware Street in New Castle, stated that she serves as Executive Director of Preservation Delaware. She read a statement from “Preservation Politics - Keeping Historic Districts Vital,” by Bill Schmickle, as follows: “A community that cares for its past by districting, is a community dedicated to being responsible for its future. A Historic District says - here is a place to invest a life, raise a family, grow a business, retire in security.” Ms. Graham stated that Preservation Delaware is committed to assisting the City of Dover by serving as a resource, participating in the workshop, etc. She stated that the members of Preservation Delaware take their charge to provide continuing education and outreach for Delaware’s nine (9) Historic District Commissions very seriously.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 32 Due to time constraints, Mr. Lynn indicated that no more public testimony could be made at this time and apologized to those who signed up to speak. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation that the Planning Office hold a public workshop (more than one (1) if necessary) by the end of February 2013 to discuss the role and scope of the Historic District and the Historic District Commission; and that staff report back to the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee during their first meeting in March 2013 (March 11, 2013) with clear recommendations on whether and how the role and scope of the Historic District and/or the Historic District Commission should be modified. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). DOVER ORGANIZATION OF EMPLOYEES (DOE) LABOR CONTRACT TENTATIVE AGREEMENT Mr. Glenn Mandalas of Bayard and Mandalas provided a brief overview of the tentative agreement (Exhibit #9) which was negotiated earlier this month through mediation. He noted that the contract balances the City’s long-term fiscal needs while recognizing the need to compensate valued employees adequately. Mr. Mandalas advised members that this was a three (3) year contract and the major terms of the agreement are: 1. Moving from a pure cost of living scale to a progressive scale which aligns this union with the other City unions. 2. The employees will now be responsible for 9.5% of the total monthly individual coverage health care premium. Effective July 1, 2013, employees will be responsible for 15% of the total monthly individual coverage health care premium. Effective March 1, 2013, employees other than those electing individual coverage, will be responsible for 15% of the total monthly health insurance premium for their coverage and dependent coverage. Any employee retiring after May 31, 2013 will be responsible for 15% of the total monthly premium for the health plan the employee elects. 3. A two (2) year period with no increases to the base wages; however, three (3) $600 bonuses will be provided. Mr. Mandalas noted that the City’s cost of the contract would be a cumulative wage and benefit increase of approximately 1.5% over the three-year term of the agreement.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 33 Mr. Mandalas stated that the management team that he worked with on the contract was one of the finest groups of individuals he has ever worked with in labor negotiations and were truly dedicated to finding an agreement that addresses the City’s fiscal concerns while recognizing that the employees are valued and compensated. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the contract, seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Lynn absent). EVALUATION OF BIDS - ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENTS - DESIGN In December 2012, City Council awarded three (3) year contracts for electrical engineering services to Pike Energy Solutions, LLC and Power Consulting Engineers (PCE). Based on a review of the project needs for the Frazier Substation, the Electric Department staff requested a project specific proposal from Pike Energy Solutions to perform the completion of the Frazier Substation project, as follows: 1. Provide relay settings for Frazier Transmission 2. Provide revised settings for College Road and Dover Downs Substation 3. Assist and report on final commissioning 4. Troubleshoot and resolve during final commissioning Pike Energy Solutions performed the original design engineering services for this location. The cost of these services will be based on Time & Material not to exceed $54,000. Staff recommended awarding the relay settings and commissioning to Pike Electric not to exceed $54,000. Mrs. Williams moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Lynn absent). ADJUSTMENT TO THE MINIMUM PAYMENT FOR PENSION During their Regular Meeting of September 10, 2012 members of Council approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation to retain the actuary to determine the cost of providing a minimum payment of $300, $400, and $500 to all retirees or their surviving spouses, and that staff determine how an adjustment would be funded. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the Minimum Benefit Study for the General Employee Pension Plan, as provided by Scott Porter, FSA of Milliman. She noted that a $300 minimum would have a $100,000 impact on accrued liability at a cost increase of $38,000; a $400 minimum would have a $294,000 impact on accrued liability at a cost increase of $112,000; and a $500 minimum would have a $615,000 impact on accrued liability at a cost increase of $236,000. Mrs. Mitchell read for the record the following paragraph from the Study: We have reservations about increasing benefits for a plan that is approximately 40% funded. The increase in the ARC [Annual Required Contribution] ranges from 1%

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 34 to nearly 7% and would apply for the next 3 years before reverting back to a baseline level. We recommend consideration be given to paying down the current unfunded liability prior to implementing any benefit improvements. Staff recommended that consideration be given to paying down the current unfunded liability prior to implementing any benefit improvements, as recommended by the actuary. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the costs would be amortized over three (3) years. In response to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Mitchell stated that implementing any of the options would take the City in the wrong direction in terms of the unfunded liability by adding to it. Mr. Anderson moved to refer this item back to the Committee to review the Study. The motion failed for the lack of a second. Mr. Perza moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, Mr. Hutchison, and Mr. Leary), one (1) no (Mr. Anderson), and one (1) absent (Mr. Lynn). CONFIRMATION OF POLICE PENSION ELECTION - RETIRED SERGEANT JAY UNTERKOFLER - THREE (3) YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE JANUARY 31, 2016 The term of office of Retired Lt. William Knotts on the Police Pension Board expires on January 31, 2013. Pursuant to Section 18-47(2)(b) of the Pension Plan, notice of an election was given to all plan members. Only one nomination was received; therefore, no election was held. Chief Hosfelt nominated Retired Sgt. Jay Unterkofler to serve a three (3) year term, to expire on January 31, 2016. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the nomination of Sgt. Jay Unterkofler to serve on the Police Pension Board, with a three (3) year term to expire on January 31, 2016. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Perza absent). FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCES Council President Leary reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinances were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or could be obtained from the City Clerk's Office. Since the ordinances propose amendments to the Zoning Code, a public hearing would be required. Staff recommended referral of the amendments to the Planning Commission for a Public Hearing on February 19, 2013 and that a Public Hearing before City Council be set for March 11, 2013 at 7:30 p.m., at which time the Second Reading and final action by Council would take place. Mrs. Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the amendments, noting that Proposed Ordinance #2013-01 would update the Airport Environs Overlay Zone in accordance with the 2010 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study published by the Dover Air

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 35 Force Base. She further noted that Proposed Ordinance #2013-02 was a Comprehensive Rezoning that would incorporate the changes to the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone into the Zoning Map as the Airport Environs Overlay Zone (AEOZ). Mrs. Townshend stated that two (2) public workshops were held to answer property owners’ questions regarding the amendments. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that the Community Planner with Dover Air Force Base attended the workshops and the Base has reviewed the maps and the zoning text amendment. Mr. Hare moved to refer Proposed Ordinances #2013-01 and #2013-02 to the Planning Commission for a Public Hearing on February 19, 2013 and to set a Public Hearing before City Council on March 11, 2013 at 7:30 p.m., as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the Zoning Ordinance Amendments as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: ORDINANCE #2013-01 - AMENDING APPENDIX B - ZONING, ARTICLE 3 - DISTRICT REGULATIONS, SECTION 22 - AIRPORT ENVIRONS OVERLAY ZONE (AEOZ) ORDINANCE #2013-02 - AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE BOUNDARY OF THE AIRPORT ENVIRONS OVERLAY ZONE (AEOZ) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 2010 AIR INSTALLATION COMPATIBLE USE ZONE (AICUZ) STUDY PUBLISHED BY THE DOVER AIR FORCE BASE FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2013-04 During their review of Proposed Ordinance #2013-04 - Amending Chapter 22 -Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X - Rental Dwellings, along with several proposed amendments, Council moved to refer the Proposed Ordinance back to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee for further review and the First Reading was not held. COUNCIL MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Hare advised members that he attended the Volunteer Firemen’s Annual Banquet last Saturday. He noted that the Number 1 volunteer responded to 345 calls and the Number 10 volunteer responded to 231 calls. Mr. Hare stated that the citizens and Council members should be very thankful for the very committed volunteer Fire Company. Noting that the unfunded pension liabilities are a significant challenge for the City, Mr. Perza suggested that a comprehensive plan to address the expenses be developed. Mr. Anderson announced that a local community meeting would be held regarding the Wells Fargo Grant on Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at Bibleway Temple Church, 54 South Kirkwood

City Manager City of Dover P.O. Box 475 Dover DE 19903 RE: Ownership of The Green Dear Scott: You asked me to determine who owns The Green. As we all know, the English King acquired the mid-Atlantic region of the United States by conquest. To satisfy a debt, King Charles II granted a charter to William Penn for what became known as Pennsylvania. The three counties on the Delaware were part of the charter. In 1683, Penn directed that the town of Dover be laid out. An eight hundred acre tract known as “Brother’s Portion“ was warranted to John Walker and Richard Walker in 1680. The brothers also purchased the Indian title to the tract from Christian the Indian who claimed ownership of essentially what is now all of Kent County. In 1684, John Walker, the sole remaining owner, conveyed whole tract to William Southbee (Southby) of Philadelphia. Southbee sold 200 acres of the tract to Richard Wilson. A February 4, 1694 deed conveys "Brother's Portion" to the "inhabitants of Kent County." Kent County was in existence. In 1694, the State of Delaware did not exist; Delaware did not separate from Pennsylvania until June 15, 1776. The City of Dover did not yet exist. It was the grant to lay out Dover that led to the deeds

February 5, 2013 Page 2 in the chain of title. Using the reasoning of the Supreme Court in City of Cincinnati v. White's Lessee, 31 U.S. 431 (1832), I conclude that title rests in the City of Dover. Moreover, I believe that the doctrine of adverse possession would also vest title in the City. The City has used The Green for various activities, including Old Dover Days and the summer series of Concerts on The Green. The City has regulated the use of The Green. Please contact me if you have any questions. Very truly yours, William W. Pepper Sr. WILLIAM W. PEPPER SR.

Notwithstanding the obligations of the Grantor hereunder, the Grantee is also authorized, but not obligated, to undertake such actions to maintain, repair, or restore the Property, without reim- bursement, as Grantee deems necessary or appropriate for the proper care and management of objects of historic or scientific interest located thereon. Grantee shall provide reasonable notice and consult with Grantor prior to exercising this right. Grantee is authorized to allow persons affiliated with educational organizations, professional as- sociations, and historical societies to enter the Property to study the Property. In addition, Grantee may make photographs, drawings, or other representations documenting the significant historical and cultural character and features of the Property and may use or publish them (or authorize others to do so). Furthermore, Grantor agrees that Grantee may, but is not obligated to, provide programs for the public on the Property to interpret the conservation and preservation values of The Green. 3.1 Conditional Rights Requiring Approval by Grantee. The following acts are prohibited except with the prior express written approval of the Grantee, which approval may be withheld or conditioned in the sole discretion of Grantee: (a) Grantor shall not erect or place on the Property for more than 60 days any buildings or struc- tures, including but not limited to, sheds, barns, and similar ancillary structures, or any non-building structures such as utility transmission lines (subject to utility easements already recorded), satellite receiving dishes, antennas, cellular communications transmitters, or similar electronic frequency re- ceiving or emitting devices, flagpoles, fences, walls, wind turbines, solar panels or other similar de- vices, tents, mobile homes or trailers, dumpsters, storage containers, camping accommodations, or other similar structures.

Grantee, at its discretion, may as a condition of granting approval, require Grantor, at Grantor’s cost, to perform an archaeo- logical survey to identify and determine the significance of archaeological deposits. If archaeological deposits are identified, then Grantee may deny or conditional approval of topographical changes as appropriate. As applicable, additional archaeological protections may be included, such as that Gran- tor shall take all reasonable precautions to protect archaeological deposits, sites, or features on the Property, and that archaeologically significant deposits, sites, or features on the Property shall not be intentionally disturbed or excavated except by or under the supervision of a professionally qualified archaeologist retained by Grantor, and an archaeological plan approved by the Grantee.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT Easement for Dover Green, Dover, DE – 1-23-13 Page 4 of 10 the new proposed use: (i) does not impair the significant conservation and preservation values of the Property; and (ii) does not conflict with the Purpose of this Easement. 3.2 Review of Grantor’s Requests for Approval. (a) Pursuant to Paragraph 3.1, Grantor shall submit in writing to Grantee for Grantee’s approval information (including plans, specifications, and designs where appropriate) together with a specific request identifying the proposed activity. In addition, Grantor shall also submit to Grantee a timeta- ble for the proposed activity which is sufficient to permit Grantee to monitor such activity. Grantor shall not make changes or take any action subject to the approval of Grantee unless expressly author- ized in writing by an authorized representative of Grantee. (b) Grantee reserves the right to consult with governmental agencies, nonprofit preservation and conservation organizations, and other advisors deemed appropriate by the Grantee, concerning the appropriateness of any activity proposed under this Easement. (c) All approval rights of the Grantee shall be exercised in the reasonable discretion of Grantee. Grantee agrees to use its reasonable efforts to respond to any written request of Grantor not later than thirty (30) days following receipt by Grantee of Grantor’s request. Failure of Grantee to respond to Grantor within the thirty (30) day period shall not, however, be deemed to constitute approval of Grantor’s request. Nothing in this subparagraph is intended to avoid or override any requirements, substantive or procedural, that may apply to the Grantee under applicable federal law before such approval may be provided. (d) In the event that the Grantor does not implement any approval granted pursuant to Para- graphs 3.1 and 3.2, for a period of one (1) year, such approval shall be void.

Grantee shall also have available all legal and other equitable remedies to enforce Grantor’s obligations contained in this instrument.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on January 30, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza (arrived at 5:14 p.m. and departed at 5:47 p.m.) , Mr. Davis, and Mr. Keller. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved to amend the agenda to allow for consideration of Item #2 prior to Item #1, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Safety Concerns - New Dover High School Pedestrian/Vehicular Traffic Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that staff had provided the Committee with regular updates regarding the progress of the construction of the new Dover High School, and during the last update staff stated that they believed strongly that a traffic signal was necessary at the east entrance of the school site. Mrs. Townshend explained that the east entrance was directly across the street from a number of residential developments where bus service will not be provided. She stated that without a traffic signal there is no safe way for students who walk to cross Route 8. Per Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) requirements, a warrant analysis was performed; however, the results did not support a signal at that location, thus DelDOT would not allow installation. Mrs. Townshend stated that a traffic signal had been proposed and approved by DelDOT at the west entrance of the school; however, she felt it unlikely that students coming from the east would walk an extra quarter of a mile to cross at the signal on the west side. In addition, she added that the unsafe walking conditions would likely result in more parents driving students to school, which would create more traffic on an already heavily traveled road. Mrs. Townshend noted that the new Dover High School would be a heavily utilized community facility throughout the day; therefore, a crossing guard would not be an option. Mrs. Townshend noted that these concerns had been discussed previously at the Committee and Council levels and the consensus was that not allowing for a signal at the east entrance of the school was unacceptable and unsafe; however, DelDOT refused to put up the signal based on their study. She reminded members that the Committee had also recommended that sidewalks be constructed along the north side of Route 8 to fill the gaps in the sidewalk network; however, DelDOT responded that this would have to be included in the Capital Transportation Plan, which involves other funding priorities. Noting that the new Dover High School was scheduled to open in the Fall of 2014, Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the Committee had requested representatives from the Capital School District to be present at the meeting to engage in dialogue regarding how the City could work together with the District to have a signal placed at the east entrance. Responding to Mr. Davis regarding the posting of a 15 mph speed limit restriction near the school, Mr. Koenig was unsure if the speed limit in school zones was restricted to 15 or 20 mph; however, he felt that this may depend on the type of school. In response to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend explained that locating a signal at the entrance of the school was not a cost issue, since she believed that the Capital School District would construct it as part of the project; however, DelDOT would not permit this signal on the road.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 30, 2013 PAGE 2 Mr. Hutchison called upon Dr. Michael Thomas, Superintendent of the Capital School District, for his perspective on this issue. Dr. Thomas introduced Mr. Phil Martino, Vice-President of the Capital School District Board of Education; Mr. Carl Krienen, Architect, ABHA Architects; and Mr. Gregg Moore, Civil Architect, Becker Morgan Group. Dr. Thomas concurred with Mrs. Townshend’s account of the issues at the new Dover High School, noting that the District shared the concerns regarding safety and reiterating that the traffic would not be limited to the opening and closing hours of the school due to the many activities surrounding the facility. Dr. Thomas stated that the traffic has concerned the architects since the planning process for the project began. He noted that these issues had been a focal point during discussions with DelDOT and that the traffic signal was needed at the east entrance for safety. Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding the necessity for two (2) signals, Dr. Thomas expressed his belief that both signals were needed. Since most of the walking traffic would be from the east side of the school, he felt that most students would cross at the closest point (the east entrance). In addition, Dr. Thomas advised members that the main baseball/softball complex was located behind the east entrance; therefore, beginning in the spring, traffic at the end of the school day until after dark would significantly increase annually. Mr. Moore reviewed a map of the New Dover High School site (Attachment #1), noting that the road at the west entrance was paid for by the Capital School District and was designed and installed to meet DelDOT’s standards for becoming a future thruway to Hazlettville Road. He explained that the majority of the buses from the City would be using the east entrance and that a light was needed there to protect buses entering the school due to their slower speeds, larger size, and the oncoming traffic from the west, as well as for the children crossing the road. Mr. Moore stated that the buses themselves were not enough traffic to dictate a traffic signal through the warrant analysis process; however, consultants to the district made it clear that a signal was warranted from a safety perspective. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Dr. Thomas stated that he could provide an informed estimate of the volume of foot traffic anticipated based on the number of students within the school’s radius who are not eligible for transportation. Mr. Hutchison felt it was important that the City and School District join forces to develop data regarding foot and vehicle traffic patterns to reinforce the need for a traffic signal for submission to DelDOT. Mr. Davis recalled that the original plan included the light at the east entrance with a plan to also request a light at the west entrance. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained that the decision to signalize the east entrance (as opposed to the west entrance) was due to: 1) the fact that the west entrance is a public street that will serve the apartment complex planned for construction west of the school and will connect to Tribbett Street and possibly to Hazlettville Road; and 2) the safety concern presented by the curve of Dover High Drive (the primary vehicle access entrance) as it intersects with Route 8. Concurring with Mrs. Townshend, Mr. Moore explained that the western intersection was designed jointly with Leander Lakes (a 240-unit apartment complex to be constructed west of the school site), which allowed the warrant analysis to be met easily due to the combination of expected traffic

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 30, 2013 PAGE 3 between the complex and the entrance to the high school. He noted that the traffic pattern was designed to segregate bus traffic (at the east entrance) from the student, teacher, and public traffic at the west entrance. He expressed his opinion that it made sense for an additional traffic light to be installed at the east entrance to allow buses to make a left turn (from the east) into the school uninterrupted; because a striped crosswalk was needed at that location for walkers, which DelDOT would not permit without a signal; and because a “T” intersection with significant traffic would be created with Heatherfield Way. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Moore indicated that the property’s designation as a school would not affect the warrant analysis. He noted that standards do not change based on the type of facility, even if that facility is a school. In response to Mr. Martino, Mr. Moore indicated that the amount of through traffic on Route 8 was not sufficient to change the outcome of the analysis and that this problem had been anticipated prior to the traffic study. Mr. Hutchison suggested that numbers provided by Dr. Thomas, including the volume of walkers, etc., coupled with the letters from the officials and school board members, district and the City of Dover may cause DelDOT to reconsider the traffic signal for safety reasons. He felt that the fact that the facility is a school should weigh into the analysis and that the entrance should not be treated as a typical intersection. Responding to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend stated that she was not aware of any appeal process available through DelDOT. In response to Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, Mr. Moore stated that he was unaware of any factors that would change the warrant analysis in the future, other than collisions at the location. Responding to Mr. Perza regarding access to the school for walkers, Mr. Moore explained that 7,000 feet of sidewalks and bike paths into all aspects of the school were included in the design. He felt that DelDOT would not put a crosswalk on Route 8 unless there were a traffic light; therefore, the only designated crossing areas would be intersection near WaWa and Mifflin Road and at the west entrance of the school. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that there would not be a continuous sidewalk on the south side of Route 8. Mr. Perza suggested that information be gathered regarding the number of students whose safety is at risk and the distance they must travel to cross safely to establish a need for a traffic signal. Mr. Davis suggested that the representatives a the State legislature also become involved and suggested reintroducing the concept of a pedestrian bridge. Mr. Hutchison suggested conducting open dialogue and gathering information, including the total number of people going in and out of the school, as well as the total number of students walking and

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 30, 2013 PAGE 4 driving. He felt that the Police Chief could contribute additional information pertaining to traffic patterns, accidents, and safety information and that all of this information should be compiled, perhaps including input from State officials, and presented to DelDOT with a request for further review and consideration of the traffic signal at the east entrance of the facility. Mrs. Townshend noted that assistance had not yet been requested from legislators; however, Senator Bushweller and Representative Scott had been advised that this was an ongoing issue and that she would keep them informed in the event that their involvement was needed. Dr. Thomas said that he had also had discussions with Senator Bushwell and Representative Scott. He noted that the Capital School District was attempting to exhaust every avenue to resolve the matter with DelDOT through the proper channels and would continue these efforts. In response to Mr. Koenig, Mr. Moore stated that he was uncertain if the design of the intersection would have to be modified if a traffic signal were installed. Mr. Koenig noted that the Capital School District must apply for a construction permit for the entrance very soon since the signal design takes many months, which would make it increasingly difficult to have a signal installed in time for the school opening. Mrs. Townshend stated her understanding that, from a geometric standpoint, the intersection was to be designed so that if a signal was needed in the future it would not require a new design. Mr. Moore shared Mrs. Townshend’s opinion; however, he stated that he could not be certain because the traffic lights are designed by DelDOT. Mr. Les Blakemen, 209 Falmouth Way, stated that he lives across the street from the school site and expressed his concern with traffic. He noted that Heatherfield and Heatherfield East have turn lanes off Route 8; however, there is no turn lane entering Cranberry Run. Due to the lack of a turn lane, vehicles are required to slow down in the line of traffic to make a turn into the development, which he felt complicates traffic patterns, stating that drivers tend to cross over the solid white line on the shoulder to go around traffic. Mr. Blakeman explained that he currently has to wait for four (4) to five (5) minutes on some mornings before he is able to get out into traffic and he sees people taking risks because they have been waiting for so long. In response to Mr. Keller, Mr. Blakemen stated that this dangerous situation exists going both east and west and that adding buses and traffic will compound the situation. He noted that an additional problem exists at the intersection of Kenton Road and Route 8, where drivers turning left onto Kenton Road stop in the intersection when the left turn lane is full. Mr. Moore indicated that the traffic light at the west entrance of the school should help to alleviate some of the inbound traffic; however, an additional light at the east end would also help because it would stop traffic from both directions. Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) inquired if a pedestrian-activated signal had been considered, which would be in use only when pedestrians are present. Responding, Mr. Hutchison requested Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams to determine if this option had been considered.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 30, 2013 PAGE 5 Mr. Davis moved to request staff to gather information from the Capital School District, including the number of people going in and out of the school and the total number of students walking and driving, as well as information from the Police Chief pertaining to traffic patterns, accidents, and safety information, and that this information be compiled, perhaps including input from State officials, and presented to the Delaware Department of Transportation with a request for further review and consideration of a traffic signal at the east entrance of the New Dover High School. The motion was seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Request for Waiver of Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section E - Lots (5) - Requirement for Lot Frontage on a Public Street - 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC (SB-13-01) Ms. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a Petition to Waive Subdivision Standards to allow the creation of a lot without public street frontage for property located at 1151- 1155 Walker Road, on the north side of Walker Road, west of Saulsbury Road, owned by 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the Minor Subdivision Plan proposed to create two (2) parcels consisting of 0.6594 acres (Lot 1) and 1.1196 acres (Lot 2) from the existing parcel of land consisting of 1.779 acres. The subject parcel is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone). The proposed subdivision of Lot 2 in the rear of the property would result in a lot without frontage on a public street. Ms. Melson-Williams advised members that, in accordance with Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section E - Lots, Item 5 requires that “All lots in a subdivision shall have frontage on a public street” and, per Appendix B - Zoning, Article 8 - Enforcement and Penalties, Section 1 - Building Permits, Section 1.1 states that a building permit cannot be issued for the construction or alteration of any building upon a lot without frontage upon, or legal permanent access to, a public street. She stated that the applicant had requested a waiver under the provisions of Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VII - Special Provisions, A - Variance and Waiver and that a cross-access easement was proposed to provide permanent access to Lot 2 from Walker Road. Staff recommended approval of the request to waive the requirement to provide lot frontage on a public street for Lot 2. Staff found that, due to the location of the existing buildings and the existing layout of the property, in order to achieve the required lot frontage on Walker Road (the public street) an irregular shaped lot would have to be created and would require variances for setbacks. This proposal would simplify the parcel shapes and present a series of proposed easements for access, utilities, parking and shared stormwater management facilities between the two (2) lots. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request for a waiver of lot frontage on a public street for Minor Subdivision Plan SB-13-01, Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC. Responding to Mr. Perza, Ms. Melson-Williams confirmed that a maintenance agreement pertaining to the easements had been established. Mr. Terry Jaywork, representing the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, stated that there would

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 30, 2013 PAGE 6 be a large reduction in the number of vehicles at the property when the rear building (currently designated for office space) becomes transitional housing. Mr. Keller moved to recommend approval of the request for a waiver of the lot frontage requirement on a public street for Minor Subdivision Plan SB-13-01, Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, provided on update on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects, as follows: DelDOT Repaving Project Mr. Koenig indicated that the DelDOT repaving project, including the repaving of Loockerman Street and portions of Governors Avenue through the City, was delayed in the fall mainly because of the impact on the downtown merchants on Loockerman Street. The project was expected to resume in the March/April timeframe. West Dover Connector Mr. Koenig advised members that DelDOT indicated that their Right-of-Way Section was in the process of actively acquiring the necessary real estate to build the West Dover Connector, and it was believed that this would take until mid to late 2014. The design team was working on design and engineering documents, which they believed would be completed in late 2013, to facilitate the final review, and construction was scheduled to take place after this. According to DelDOT, the project had been fully funded for construction and it was hoped that construction would begin coming out of 2014. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector Mr. Koenig stated that DelDOT indicated that the preliminary engineering for the Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector had been postponed until FY2017 and final engineering and construction would not take place for several years after that. Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects - Rich Vetter Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) reviewed a map entitled “City of Dover West Street Bike/Pedestrian Improvements” and advised members of the goal was to fill in some of the gaps in sidewalks and bike paths for pedestrians and bikers. He explained that interest was expressed in extending the bike trail that runs from Schutte Park past the Eden Hill Medical Center to run along West Street to the Dover Transit Center with a 10-foot wide shared use sidewalk (areas depicted in red). Mr. Vetter stated that this project was in the conceptual planning stage and Century Engineering was preparing a cost estimate. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Vetter advised that the project was still in the planning stage; however, he felt that it could be accomplished through the Transportation Enhancements Program, which currently had some funding. He indicated there was no target date for the project at this time.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 30, 2013 PAGE 7 Mr. Vetter reviewed a map entitled “West StreetTraffic Study,” noting that discussions were beginning regarding the conversion of West Street to a one-way, south-bound street, which was an idea that had been presented in connection with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Vetter indicated that a traffic analysis would be performed by a consultant to see if the concept made sense. Responding to Mr. Hutchison’s inquiry regarding subsequent steps in the process, Mr. Vetter advised that there would be many steps involved, including receiving input from DelDOT, the City, the public, and business owners and he noted that the West Dover Connector may also impact traffic in the area. Update on the Creation of Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Mr. Hutchison advised members that a Workshop was held on January 22, 2013 regarding the establishment of a Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee and a tremendous amount of interest was expressed. Mr. Hutchison stated that, based on the large turnout, he felt that a committee of seven (7) would be appropriate, rather than five (5) members as initially proposed. He indicated that after all of the information is gathered from attendees at the meeting, a subcommittee would be selected for members to approve. Ms. Greta Whittendale, Hartly, Delaware, indicated that she was in attendance at the Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee meeting and was concerned that many of the attendees had a vested interest in spending the funds that would be made available for promoting their own private enterprises, such as bicycle shops. It was her understanding that less than 2% of the attendees were actual bicyclists. Ms. Whittendale expressed her hope that the subcommittee would be comprised of residents throughout Kent County, since County residents use City streets. In response, Mr. Hutchison noted that the Committee will be diverse and include walkers and cyclists, as well as those concerned with safety interests. Mr. Davis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 5:56 p.m. James L.

The suspects confronted a resident and asked for a different subject, who is a relative of the resident. One suspect then pushed a second person in the residence against a wall and took his cell phone. When the suspects realized that the person they were looking for was not in the residence they fled with the stolen cell phone.  On Sunday December 23 at approximately 1800 a pizza delivery driver was making a delivery in E Building of Towne Point Apartments off of Buckson Drive. As he entered inside of the building the suspect approached and began to assault the driver. The suspect stated he had a gun, but the victim never observed a weapon. The victim was able to escape and dial 911, but not before the suspect removed money from his pockets. The suspect is described as black male in his 20s, with facial hair, wearing blue jeans, a brown vest or coat.

 On Sunday December 23 at approximately 2230 an unknown suspect entered the victim’s residence in the 300 block of W. Division St. The suspect apparently entered through a window and removed the victim’s child’s Christmas presents then exited by the same location. A friend of the resident observed the suspect on the porch and yelled at him, this caused the suspect to flee on foot. The victim was awoken and discovered that the suspect had stolen clothes, a child’s DVD movie, a remote controlled car and an Atari game system. A search of the area by police was negative for the suspect. The suspect is described as wearing a black hooded jacket with the word ECHO written on it in white, white knit cap, white gloves and black pants. Respectfully Submitted, James E. Hosfelt, Jr. Chief of Police
