REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on April 23, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mrs. Russell, Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Anderson was absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Ms. Russell, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief Fortney, Mr. Koenig, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey 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. Councilwoman Sophia R. Russell, 208 N. New Street, speaking as a resident and taxpayer, stated that she was at the Dover Public Library on Saturday for a meeting with her youth council. She stated that she was offended by the filthy condition of the bathrooms. The floor was sticky and the toilets and sinks were dirty. Mrs. Russell stated that whatever staffing time has been cut should be reinstated to take care of the building. Fire Chief Jack Fortney, 103 S. Governors Avenue, stated that they were in the process of hiring a Fire Dispatcher for Station 2 and have received 47 applications. He noted that the applications were sent to the Dover Police Department and he has been advised that, through the criminal background process, the number of eligible applicants has been reduced to 32 and could be further reduced to 10 or 12 applicants. Chief Fortney stated that when the position was advertised, the requirements included a high school diploma/GED and two (2) years fire service experience. He noted that applications were pulled because they did not meet those requirements; however, the Human Resources Department has subsequently waived the fire service experience requirement. Chief Fortney felt that the fire service experience should be required. He also felt that they were taking too long to hire someone and it was costing the department in overtime. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of April 9, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Russell and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 2 PROCLAMATION - ARBOR DAY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, J. Sterling Morton, a Nebraska pioneer, understood that trees were needed for fuel and building materials, for shade from the hot sun, and as windbreaks to keep soil in place; and WHEREAS, J. Sterling Morton advocated tree planting by individuals and civic organizations and, on January 4, 1872, proposed a tree-planting holiday to be called "Arbor Day"; and WHEREAS, the first holiday was set for April 10, 1872, with prizes being offered to counties and individuals for properly planting the largest number of trees and it was estimated that more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska that day; and WHEREAS, in 1885, Arbor Day was named a legal holiday in Nebraska and April 22, Morton's birthday, was selected as the date for its permanent observance. Today, it is most common for Arbor Day to coincide with the best tree planting weather for the region; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover was named a Tree City USA in 2011 for the twenty-second consecutive year by the National Arbor Day Foundation, recognizing Dover for its outstanding urban forestry program; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover Planning and Inspections Department's Tree Planting and Preservation Ordinance has caused the planting of thousands of trees in all subdivisions and commercial sites since 1992 and the City has been aggressively planting street trees, which are trees planted between the curb and the sidewalk, in almost every available site in the City; and WHEREAS, the Delaware State champion American Elm on The Green may be the only living witness to the United States Constitution Ratification enacted at the Golden Fleece Tavern 234 years ago, underscoring that the planting and caring for trees is a special gift that one generation passes down to the next. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim April 28th, 2012 as ARBOR DAY in the City of Dover, and urge all citizens to support the efforts to care for our trees along our streets, in our parks, and in our yards. As the City of Dover plants trees on public property, I urge all citizens to plant trees on their property to enhance the environment and promote the well-being of present and future generations. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Bill Cooper, City of Dover Superintendent of Grounds. Mr. Cooper advised members that they are partnering with the Department of Natural Resources to observe Arbor Day by planting 29 native trees and 48 native shrubs on Park Drive along the St. Jones River on Saturday. PROCLAMATION - NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, every child is entitled to be loved, cared for, secure, and protected from verbal, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse and neglect; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 3 WHEREAS, it is estimated that only one in ten child victims disclose abuse. A large percentage of children do not disclose abuse until adulthood, if at all; and WHEREAS, one in three girls and one in five boys will be sexually assaulted before they reach the age of 18. Consequences of this abuse include fear, loneliness, blaming themselves, poor self-esteem, anger, and mental health issues; and WHEREAS, 95% of all victims know their perpetrators, which often consist of family members, friends, and acquaintances; and WHEREAS, children are the embodiment of innocence and hope for the future. Every child deserves to grow up in a nurturing environment, free from harm and fear. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of April 2012 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the City of Dover and encourage all citizens to emphasize the importance of understanding the devastating problem of child abuse and neglect, and commit to learning more about the behavioral and physical signs of possible abuse. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Ms. Tania Culley of the Office of the Child Advocate and Mr. Kenneth Haltom of the Attorney Generals Office. APPEAL OF DENIAL - THE HOUSE OF PRIDE - 38 SOUTH NEW STREET - BUILDING PERMIT In accordance with Chapter 1 - General Provisions, Section 1-13 - Denial of permits or approvals for failure to comply with requirements for payment, actions, or filings, of the Dover Code, an appeal hearing has been scheduled for this time and place to consider the denial of permit #12-232 related to 38 South New Street. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that the property located at 38 South New Street was considered for a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance on February 27, 2012. She noted that the property was severely damaged by fire on January 8, 2012 and was subsequently condemned on January 9, 2012. On February 27, 2012, The House of Pride was denied a building permit to begin renovations at 38 South New Street due to outstanding fees for the demolition of properties located at 106 South New Street and 35 North New Street. During the February Violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance hearing, City Council tabled the matter to allow staff the opportunity to review the possibility of amending the Clean Hands ordinance to allow exceptions. On February 28, 2012, The House of Pride requested an Appeal of the Denial of the Building Permit. At their request, the appeal hearing was delayed to afford them time to obtain the funds to pay the outstanding fees. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that the outstanding fees had not been paid. Noting that the First Reading of the “Clean Hands” ordinance was scheduled for the latter part of the meeting, Mr. Lynn asked what the practical effect would be in this situation if the ordinance were in place. Mrs. Townshend indicated that the “Clean Hands” ordinance would enable her to issue the requested permit.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 4 Ms. Sandra Dean, representing The House of Pride, noted that they own 13 properties on North and South New Street. She stated that they have researched the ordinance and similar ordinances in other cities and, as a result, they requested withdrawal of the appeal of denial, while reserving the right to reapply for the building permit for 38 South New Street once The House of Pride meets the qualifications. Ms. Dean stated that she was hopeful that the “Clean Hands” ordinance would be adopted to allow them to obtain the permit. She also advised members that, at the same time, they are restructuring debt and some other financial planning to pay the demolition fees. Ms. Dean requested that Council take no further action on the demolition of 38 South New Street for a period of time to allow them to resolve the issues. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Ms. Dean stated that it would cost approximately $50,000 to repair the building. She noted that the insurance company has paid them and the funds are in an escrow account. Ms. Dean indicated that they plan to apply for a variance in order to rebuild a two-family unit. Mrs. Russell indicated that she would prefer a single-family home. Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the request to withdraw the Appeal of Denial of Permit #12-232 related to 38 South New Street. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent).

Included in the resolution was the stipulation that the abandonment be timed such that the City maintain ownership and maintenance of the subject streets and alleys until such time that they are physically altered by construction in accordance with a site plan approved by the Planning Commission. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the delayed timing of the abandonment has proven to be problematic for Wesley College in moving forward with the financing and construction for the streetscape project and they have, therefore, has requested that the street and alley abandonment and transfer of ownership occur immediately to allow the consolidation of the parcels and filing of the revised plot plan. She noted that both the Utility Committee and the Planning Commission have given a favorable recommendation regarding the request. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open and, with no one present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 5 By motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mrs. Williams, Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-05 by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent), as follows: A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2010-07 WHICH VACATED AND ABANDONED CERTAIN ALLEYS AND STREETS SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 6 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that a recent survey revealed that an eighth section of alley was omitted from the original request for abandonment and Wesley College has requested that it also be abandoned. She noted that this segment of alley is located within a Wesley College parking lot. Mrs. Townshend stated that both the Utility Committee and the Planning Commission have given a favorable recommendation regarding the request. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open and, with no one present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. By motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams, Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-06 by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent), as follows: A RESOLUTION VACATING AND ABANDONING A CERTAIN ALLEY SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER. 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: All that certain piece, parcel, or tract of land situated in the City of Dover, Kent County, State of Delaware, lying on the east side of North Bradford Street, being bounded on the north by lands of Wesley College, on the east by North State Street Alley West, on the south by other lands of Wesley College, and on the west by North Bradford Street, and being more particularly described as follows: Beginning at a point in the easterly right of way line of North Bradford Street at the northwest corner of a 10-foot-wide public alley and lands now or formerly of Wesley College, said point of beginning being South 16°13'11" West 92.67 feet, as measured from the southeast intersection of North Bradford Street and Fulton Street right of way lines, thence from said point of beginning and running with said lands of Wesley College; 1) North 73°46'49" East 125.35 feet to a point in the westerly right of way of North State Street Alley West, thence turning and running with said right of way of North State Street Alley West; 2) South 16°13'11" West 10.00 feet to a point at a corner of said public alley and other lands now or formerly of Wesley College, thence turning and running with said lands of Wesley College; 3) South 73°46'49" West 125.35 feet to a point at a corner of said public alley and in line of the easterly right of way line of North Bradford Street, thence turning and running with said easterly right of way line of North Bradford Street; 4) North 16°13'11" West 10.00 feet to the point and place of beginning and containing 1,254 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. The City shall retain a utility easement for the entire length and width of the aforesaid alley and all costs of conveyance shall be borne by the property owners.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 7 Section 4. This resolution shall be effective upon the filing of a revised plot plan of the aforesaid alley. ADOPTED: APRIL 23, 2012 PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 123 BLUE BEACH DRIVE - POOL AND PUMP HOUSE (OWNER DEBORAH D. STATLER) In accordance with Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Section 22-385 - Hearing before Council, of the Dover Code, in cases where it reasonably appears that there is an immediate danger to the life or safety of any person, unless a dangerous building is immediately repaired, vacated and closed, or demolished, the building inspector shall report such facts to the council, which may cause the immediate repair, vacation, or demolition of such dangerous building. Mr. Lynn indicated that he had a conflict of interest; therefore, he excused himself from the presentation and deliberations regarding this matter. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided a presentation including a chronological history and photos on the condition of the pool and associated pump house located at 123 Blue Beach Drive, owned by Deborah D. Statler (Exhibit #1). She noted that there have been numerous code violation cases related to the pool since 2002. On September 25, 2006, City Council declared the pool dangerous and ordered it repaired or demolished. In the months and years that followed, the demolition of the pool was delayed due to a court filing. In September 2010, the pool was found to be in compliance with Code requirements and the case was closed. Since that time, violations have re-emerged and a number of complaints from neighbors have been received about the pool in particular and the property in general. On February 13, 2012, City Council declared the residence and accessory structures at 123 Blue Beach Drive dangerous and ordered them repaired or demolished. This action was challenged in Chancery Court and the demolition was enjoined for perceived procedural deficiencies. Subsequent inspections have shown no improvements to the pool or pump house. The pump and filtration system do not appear to be operational and must be repaired. If the pool is to remain covered, it must be covered in a manner that prevents the collection of stagnant water, attracting insects and acting as a breeding area for mosquitoes. The pump house must be repaired or removed. The metal structure is leaning and must be stabilized; it must be painted to prevent further deterioration due to rust; and the doors must be repaired and made operational. Due to the continual code violations related to the pool and pump house, these structures are being presented to City Council for action under the Dangerous Building Ordinance. Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare the pool and the pump house dangerous; 2) order the pool and the pump house repaired or demolished by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the pool and the pump house if not completed by the owner by May 23, 2012; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the structures exist as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 8 Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that she believed the property taxes were paid; however, there were outstanding fines associated with the property. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. Mr. Eugene Ruane, 122 Shadow Court, (former City Council Member) advised members that his residence is located right around the corner from the subject property. He noted that the City has been trying to resolve this issue for 14 years. Mr. Ruane stated that there are properties very close to this property that are for sale. He felt that this property would deter the sale of those properties and that it was causing the property values in the neighborhood to deteriorate. Mr. Ruane stated that he supported the recommended action. Ms. Sandra Kinkus, 365 Fiddler’s Green, stated that this situation was not only affecting Blue Beach Drive, it was affecting the whole area of Crossgates as a poor example of what the City cannot do. She noted that there are six (6) properties that are directly affected and she hoped that the City could correct the situation. Ms. Deborah Statler, 123 Blue Beach Drive, stated that the shed was not part of this hearing based on the paragraph of the first page of the Notice of Hearing, which states that “the City Council will order the pool to be repaired or demolished”. Because the shed was not mentioned, she indicated that she was not prepared to argue against its demolition. Ms. Statler stated that the shed has been reinforced inside and out around the bottom and around one full end. She noted that the shed does not move, although it has been tilted since they purchased the property 19 years ago. Ms. Statler stated that the shed has been painted in the accessible area in the back that was rusted and there are plans to spray paint the area behind the fence when money, time, and weather permit. She indicated that it was built as an “open air” shed, which was open on one end and the doors were not present or functioning on the other end. Ms. Statler stated that the shed was built in accordance with the Code in force at that time. She advised members that the shed has a dirt floor to allow the hoses to pass through from the pump, the filter, and the pool. Ms. Statler noted that the shed has a rock and brick foundation. Ms. Statler stated that the pool was inspected by Atlantis Pools, who provided a letter (Exhibit #2) indicating that the pool is in a fully operational status but is in a closed, winterized condition due to the time of year. Ms. Statler stated that the pool is constructed of gunite, which must have water in it in the winter to prevent cracking. She stated that the pool is covered appropriately to keep the leaves and debris out and the water was treated with chlorine and algaecide at the time of winterizing. Ms. Statler advised members that the water level in the pool has been raised, as recommended by the pool company, to prevent the tarp from sagging and collecting additional water. The water on the tarp is being pumped off and the remaining water has had Clorox (bleach) added to it. Ms. Statler noted that the pool has been vandalized two (2) more times throughout this winterized season, as it was in 2009 and 2010 by a neighbor’s son and his friends. She stated that a police report was made.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 9 Ms. Statler attributed the mosquito issue to the fact that there is a creek running in and through the area, which is a heavily wooded and vined subdivision. She noted that the mosquitos are just as bad when her pool is fully functional, which she admitted has not always been the case. Ms. Statler felt that the smell was also coming from the leaves, undergrowth, and vines around the property and not from her pool. Ms. Statler noted that the arrest for failure to pay the fines, Code violations, fees, and fines imposed prior to 2010 were dismissed by Court #7 based on illegal and inappropriate actions taken by the City. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Ms. Statler stated that the photograph taken at 10:04 a.m. on April 23, 2012, was not an accurate representation of the pool’s current condition. She stated that she began working on the pool at noon and the water level was and continues to be raised, the standing water on the tarp was drained, and chlorox was added to the water that could not be drained. Ms. Statler stated that a temporary door was also placed on the shed. Mrs. Statler stated that the water level was not raised to the point that the tarp was taut and that she did not believe this was possible with an in-ground pool without the water spilling over the edge of the pool. Mr. Bonar stated that it was possible to have a cover that was taut and level with the ground. He suggested that it would take a day or two to increase the water level to this extent using a garden hose. There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed. Mrs. Townshend clarified that the fines being referenced were imposed in March and November of 2011, not the fines that were dismissed in 2010. Mr. Bonar moved to declare the pool and pump house located at 123 Blue Beach Drive dangerous and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson and Mr. Lynn absent).

At that time, members recommended postponing action regarding the assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator responsibilities until the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting scheduled for April 9, 2012.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 13 Dr. McGlumphy advised members that Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, was unable to attend the meeting and had requested that consideration of this matter be deferred until the Committee’s next meeting, scheduled for April 23, 2012. The Committee deferred consideration of this matter until the Committee’s meeting scheduled for April 23, 2012. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). Proposed Ordinance #2012-10 - Chapter 1 - General Provisions, Section 1-13 - Denial of Permits or Approvals for Failure to Comply with Requirements for Payment, Actions, or Filings (Clean Hands) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the purpose of the proposed ordinance was to amend the section of the code that is known as the “Clean Hands” ordinance. It denies approvals, permits, or other approvals to property owners who have delinquent obligations due to the city or outstanding code violations on properties. The denial is not specific to the property with the delinquency, but to all properties owned by that owner. Mrs. Townshend noted that several City departments have been working together in recent months to update and clarify the clean hands ordinance. She explained that the proposed amendments address a number of problems identified in the current language, as follows: 1) The proposal clarifies that the denial of approvals or permits is applicable to the owner or any corporation in which such owner is an owner or member. This makes it clear that an owner of corporations is subject to the denial if the corporations are not current. 2) The proposal lists the obligations that must be current. The proposed ordinance prohibits people from being appointed to a City committee, commission or board if that person has delinquent payments or uncorrected, documented code violations. 3) The proposed ordinance clarifies the language relating to violations of the Dover Code of Ordinances. 4) It changes the amount of time that staff has to notify the property owner of the denial from five (5) working days to ten working days. 5) It allows an exception if the property owner is requesting a permit to correct violations associated with the Dangerous Building Ordinance. 6) It changes the appeal from an appeal to City Council to an appeal to the City Manager. Mrs. Townshend noted that the proposed ordinance had been reviewed internally by the affected departments and by the Deputy City Solicitor. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Townshend verified that under the proposed ordinance, an individual who owes fines or levies on any property in the City would be unable to obtain a permit; however, she stated that the ordinance includes provisions for an appeal process and the Director

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 14 of Planning and Community Development and the City Solicitor or Deputy City Solicitor would be involved in that process. In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend explained that a previous draft of the Clean Hands ordinance included a provision for utility disconnection due to non-payment of taxes; however, this was removed at the suggestion of the Deputy City Solicitor because another section of code allows for this. She indicated that the City has the authority to disconnect service due to non-payment of taxes; however, a policy has not been put in place to do so. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated her understanding that the City would not establish new utility service for a property (even if the applicant is a renter) if the owner has delinquencies; however, service would not be terminated for an existing tenant for this reason. She stated that the only delinquency that would cause a tenant to be displaced would be non-payment of utilities for the occupied property. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend advised members that staff planned to revise the current application form to require disclosure of the names of members or owners of businesses. Mr. Hutchison stated that a defined policy was needed to enforce the provisions of the ordinance and that the policy should be approved by the City Solicitor. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that ordinances provide the City authority to take action; however, policy guidelines often set forth provisions that dictate how ordinances are enforced. Mr. Leary conveyed his feeling that staff was seeking guidance from Council regarding how aggressively the ordinance should be enforced. Dr. McGlumphy suggested that staff ensure that all language included in the ordinance was clear and understandable. Mrs. Russell felt that businesses should be held accountable to the same standards as individuals and that ordinances should be written to last for an extended period of time and be applied consistently. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend said that she was comfortable that the ordinance would be enforced uniformly for businesses and individuals. She stated that enforcement would be the responsibility of multiple departments and emphasized the need to communicate and share information between departments regarding delinquencies. Mrs. Townshend noted that the development of this ordinance was part of an effort to create uniformity and institute consistent policies. The Committee recommended adoption of Ordinance #2012-10 and to request staff to institute a consistent policy for implementing the provisions of the ordinance. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 15 Council Laptop Replacement Associated with Mandatory Paperless Packets Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, explained that in 2003, the City began providing laptops to Council members. At that time, paperless packets were made available on the City's website and to members of City Council for use during the meetings in lieu of paper packets. Over time, due to the weight and bulkiness of the laptops, members reverted back to using paper packets rather than the electronic versions for the meetings. At the suggestion of Councilman Hutchison, staff obtained pricing for tablet computers, which are much smaller than the standard laptop. Staff recommended purchasing 12 tablet computers, nine (9) for City Council members, one (1) for the Council Chamber recording secretary, and two (2) for civilian committee members' use during meetings, and that, if tablets were purchased and distributed, production of paper packets be discontinued. Mrs. McDowell noted that Council’s budget included all but $1,200 of the funds needed to purchase the laptops and that Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, had advised her that the remaining funds were available in the budget due to savings from a vehicle purchase. In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. McDowell stated that if the purchase were approved, Council members would be issued individual tablets and those used by committee members would be held by the Clerk’s Office. Responding to Mr. Leary, Mrs. McDowell affirmed that purchase of the tablet computers would create a monetary savings and conserve staff time. In response to Dr. Jones, Mrs. McDowell stated that many of the laptops currently used by Council had passed their life cycles and that they would likely be kept by the IT Department and used as “loaners” during elections and for other purposes. The Committee recommended authorizing staff to purchase 12 tablet computers and, once the tablets have been purchased and distributed, that production of paper packets be discontinued. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). Public Comment Period There was no one present wishing to address members. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 16 QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the Revenue Report as of March 31, 2012. She noted that the report included updated FY2012 and, when possible, FY2013 projections and briefed members on those changes. Mr. Bonar stated that he did not feel that the Red Light Camera revenue projection should be budgeted because it is not possible to accurately predict how many traffic violations will occur at a given intersection in one year. He suggested that it be removed from the budgetary process. Mrs. Williams concurred because of the diminishing returns related to compliance. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell stated that there was currently a $1.9M deficit. She stated that the method of transferring from the Electric Fund has been changed from a percentage transfer to a fixed dollar amount transfer. Mrs. Mitchell noted that costs, benefits, OPEB, and pension are still increasing and they are trying to fund the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Dr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of March 31, 2012, seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried. SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION BY CITY MANAGER - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY In accordance with Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection, Article II - Fire Department, Division I - Generally, Section 46-43 of the City Code, the City Manager, Mr. Scott D. Koenig, met with the Fire Chief to discuss fire company issues. He discovered that the equipment and facilities were being maintained in excellent condition and that the Robbins Hose Company continues to provide an outstanding level of service to the City of Dover. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the report of the Semi-Annual Robbins Hose Company Inspection, as submitted by the City Manager, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). 2012 MUNICIPAL ELECTION RESULTS Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reported the results of the 2012 Municipal Election held on April 17, 2012, as follows: FIRST DISTRICT COUNCIL THIRD DISTRICT COUNCIL Holly L.
