CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION - REAGAN AND PAYTON GARNSEY AND THE BUCKETS OF LOVE FOUNDATION The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Recognition into the record: CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION presented to Reagan and Payton Garnsey and the Buckets of Love Foundation In 2017, with the help of family and friends, sisters Reagan and Payton Garnsey established the Buckets of Love Foundation. This non-profit organization is dedicated to spreading joy to those children in Delaware who are receiving care in hospitals or residing in homeless shelters. The goal of the Buckets of Love Foundation is to bring smiles to the faces of needy children by providing them with buckets filled with age-appropriate toys and crafts. The Foundation, with Reagan and Payton at the helm as co-founders and CEO’s, has developed a website, created a video and Facebook page, launched a letter-writing campaign, held numerous promotional events, and assembled and delivered buckets to needy children. Since its inception, the organization has raised over $3,305 in donations, impacting 60 individuals. The City of Dover recognizes Reagan and Payton Garnsey and all of those involved in the Buckets of Love Foundation for their commitment to improving the lives of children in Delaware. They have demonstrated that age is no barrier when striving to make the world a better place, and it is hoped that their example will inspire others to perform acts of kindness and use their talents selflessly to serve the less fortunate. On behalf of the Mayor, Council, and citizens of the City of Dover, Mayor Christiansen presented the Certificate to Reagan and Payton Garnsey. PRESENTATION - BICYCLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY DESIGNATION Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, advised that the League of American Bicyclists has recognized the City of Dover with a Bronze Bicycle Friendly CommunitySM (BFCSM ) award, joining over 400 visionary communities from across the country. With this announcement on November 30, 2017, Dover joins 65 new and renewing Bicycle Friendly Communities in all 50 states, that are transforming neighborhoods across the country. She noted that the bicycle friendly community program is revolutionizing the way communities evaluate their quality of life, sustainability, and transportation networks, while allowing them to benchmark their progress toward improving their bicycle friendliness. With this impressive round, there are now over 400 bicycle friendly communities in all of the states.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2017 PAGE 3 Mrs. Cyr advised that the Bronze award recognizes Dover's commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through investment in bicycling promotion, education programs, infrastructure, and pro-bicycling policies. Mr. Bill Nesper, Executive Director of the League of American Bicyclists, says, "We applaud these communities for making bicycling a safe and convenient option for transportation and recreation. We are encouraged by the leaders who see bicycling as a way to build more vibrant, healthy, sustainable, and connected communities, and to be part of the revolution to many complex challenges faced at both the community and the national levels. We look forward to continuing to work with these communities as we move closer to our mission of creating a bicycle friendly America for everyone." Mrs. Cyr advised that this recognition is a direct response to the work that Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee members, and others, Jim Hutchison, Chris Asay, Jayce Lesniewski, Dave Moses, Gerry Penningon, Fran Riddle, Andy Seigel, Cathy Doyle, Kate Layton, Anthony Aglio, Eddie Diaz, and Carolyn Courtney have done on behalf of the citizens of Dover. Mr. Jim Hutchison, Chair of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee, thanked members for the support of the City, which made the award possible. He advised that the Committee’s work over the last five years made Dover eligible for the designation. Mr. Hutchison noted that the committee was formed in 2012 by the Safety Advisory and Transportation committee, which was then chaired by Councilman Hutchison, and in 2013 they were awarded the Honorable Mention Bicycle Friendly Community. He advised that, since that time, they have accomplished a number of other things that have made them eligible for the award, including publishing their new bicycle and pedestrian plan in 2015; the initial mapping of Senator Bikeway, an east-west bike corridor through the City, that allows for a safe conduit for bicyclists from one side of Dover to the other; sponsoring the Dover Duathlon for the third year; development of a safe cycling program, an educational program done in conjunction with Capital School District; sponsoring a contest and receiving funding for the Dover bike rack in front of the library; Bike to Work Day; and the Ride of Silence. Mr. Hutchison advised that they received $1.8 million in funding from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) that is already in the ground and, over the next two to three years, they will be receiving an additional $5 million in funding for moving projects forward. He thanked the Committee members for all of their hard work over the last five years.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2017 PAGE 5 EVALUATION OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - HAZARD RESPONSE SERVICES Members were advised that the Electric Department maintains "time and material" where applicable with potential contractors to ensure that the bidding rules are adhered to for any contractors that might be hired to perform work for the Public Works and Electric Departments. This Request for Proposals was for Environmental Services work in normal situations, emergency situations, and as required by workload. Also included were cleanup activities, soil sampling, asbestos sampling, assistance in environmental compliance with numerous agencies and assistance in disposal, collection, and shipment of hazardous wastes. Staff recommended awarding a three-year contract to both Clean Venture Inc. and Miller Environmental Group. Mr. Neil moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Polce absent). EVALUATION OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - VANSANT MAJOR OVERHAUL - EG1701 Members were advised that the Request for Proposals was made to allow for the purchase of materials and services needed to perform required inspections and major overhaul on the VanSant Unit #11 combustion turbine. NAES Corporation staff solicited a Request for Proposal and received nine (9) proposals. This will be the first major inspection on this unit since commercial operations began in 1991 and the project is expected to extend the service life of the VanSant Generation Station by twenty (20) years. Staff recommended awarding major overhaul and inspections to HPI, LLC for the upcoming outage. Mr. Anderson, noting that approximately $1.2M was budgeted for this project and the bid amount was $434,000, asked if there was another part to the project or if it came in that much under budget. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that an RFP had been considered previously for parts that were on order and these inspections were a component of the total project. She noted that the total project would still be approximately $1.2M and would be paid from the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund which is funded through annual appropriations in the amount of $2.5M to $5M from the operating fund to help pay for projects. Mr. Anderson asked what the benefit of the project was as opposed to decommissioning this particular turbine. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that there was an economic benefit to doing this overhaul project rather than decommissioning it, as was explained in the Integrated Resource Plan when that was presented. Mr. Cole moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to award major overhaul and inspections to HPI, LLC for the upcoming outage. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2017-14 The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of November 13, 2017. Council President Slavin reminded members of the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government.” Mr. Lindell moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson expressed concern with treating retirement accounts that are not being drawn from differently than bank accounts. He stated that he believes that it is a mistake and it still is a concern of his. Mr. Anderson noted that he does not believe that the ordinance really addresses the core of the issues that they have when it comes to the ethics process. By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Lindell, Council, by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Neil, Cole, Polce, Hare, Lindell, and Slavin), two (2) no (Anderson and Lewis), and one (1) abstention (Sudler), adopted Ordinance #2017-14 (Exhibit #2).

EXHIBIT #2 Regular Council Meeting of 12/11/2017 CITY OF DOVER ORDINANCE #2017-14 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethic Commission, be amended to read as follows: Chapter 30 - STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT AND ETHICS COMMISSION ARTICLE I. – IN GENERAL Sec. 30-1. - Applicability. This chapter shall be applicable to all elected and appointed officials and all employees of the city. Sec. 30-2. – Statement of intent and purpose. (a) Intent. The proper operation of democratic government requires that public officials and employees be independent, impartial, and responsible to the people; that governmental decisions and policies be made in the proper channels of the governmental structure; that public office not be used for personal gain; and that the public has confidence in the integrity of its government. It is the intent of the city that all elected and appointed officials and all employees of the city adhere to high levels of ethical conduct, honesty, integrity and accountability to assure that the public has confidence in all aspects of city government and the city officials that exercise discretionary powers. These standards of ethical conduct are intended to uphold the public trust in the persons in positions of public responsibility who are acting for the benefit of the public. All elected and appointed officials and all employees of the city shall comply with both the letter and the spirit of the standards of ethical conduct and strive to avoid situations that create impropriety or the appearance of impropriety. The standards define and discourage certain actions that may create impropriety or the appearance of impropriety that undermine public trust in elected and appointed public officials and employees. (b) Purpose. The standards of ethical conduct should promote public confidence in the integrity of city officials; state principles of conduct and ethics which are to be applied in public service; inform the public of the standards to which their city officials are expected to adhere; and help motivate city officials and public employees to pursue productive conduct and ethical ideals which exceed minimum standards. The city council finds and declares as matters of public policy goals and objectives for all city employees and elected and appointed officials, the following: (1) Public trust. In our democratic form of government, the conduct of officials and employees of the city must hold the respect and confidence of the people. They must, therefore, avoid conduct which is in violation of their public trust or which creates a justifiable impression among the public that such trust is being violated.

Ordinance #2017-14 - Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethics Commission Page 2 (2) Standards. To ensure propriety and to preserve public confidence, officials and employees of the city must have the benefit of specific standards to guide their conduct and disciplinary mechanisms to guarantee uniform maintenance of those standards. Some standards of this type are so vital to government that violation thereof should subject the violator to criminal penalties. (3) Public service. In our democratic form of government, it is both necessary and desirable that all citizens should be encouraged to assume public office and employment, and that, therefore, the activities of officials and employees of the city should not be unduly circumscribed. (4) Performance of duty. Elected city officials are obligated to uphold the fundamental legal principles of our system of government, as set forth in the United States Constitution, the state constitution, and the city Charter, as well as all applicable provisions of federal, state and local law and court decisions. They are bound to do so, and the failure to so act shall constitute malfeasance in office. (5) Fairness. City officials and employees shall strive for the highest standard of fairness in all of their activities and shall not grant any special consideration, treatment, or advantage to any citizen beyond that which is available to every other citizen. (6) Use of private information. In the course of their official responsibilities, city officials and employees are often privy to categories of information which are of a private nature and are legally protected from public disclosure. City officials and employees shall maintain the privacy of such information, and they shall not take advantage of such information for personal gain, or the personal gain of friends or family.

Ordinance #2017-14 - Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethics Commission Page 5 ARTICLE II. – STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT. Sec. 30-20. – Established. High ethical standards among public officials and employees are essential to gain and maintain the confidence of the people, because such confidence is essential to the conduct of free government. Public officials and employees are agents of the people and hold office for the benefit of the public. They are bound to observe in their official acts the highest standards of morality and to discharge faithfully and impartially the duties of their offices, regardless of personal considerations, recognizing that the public interest must be their primary concern. Their conduct in both their official and private affairs should be above reproach. These standards of ethical conduct are adopted in order to secure this desired high level of public trust, ensure the impartiality of public officials and employees, and impose standards of accountability. (a) General responsibilities of officials and employees. (1) Officials and employees have the common obligation of serving the public. In performing their duties, they shall treat the public and each other with respect, concern, and responsiveness, recognizing that their common goal of exceptional public service can only be achieved by working together. Disputes that arise among public servants shall be resolved at the lowest possible level; keeping in mind that public money spent on resolving these disputes is money not spent on important public needs. (2) Officials and employees shall treat their position as a public trust, with a fiduciary duty to use the powers and resources of public office only to advance the public interest and not to obtain personal benefits or pursue private interests. (3) Officials and employees shall conduct themselves in a manner that justifies the confidence placed in them by the people, at all times maintaining the integrity and discharging ethically the high responsibilities of public service. (4) Full disclosure of real or potential conflicts of interest shall be a guiding principle for determining appropriate conduct. At all times, reasonable efforts shall be made to avoid undue influence and abuse of office in public service. (5) No official or employee may request or receive, and no person may offer any money, thing of value or promise thereof, other than any city pay received, that is conditioned upon or given in exchange for promised performance of an official act. (b) Appearance of violation. Each city employee and official shall endeavor to pursue a course of conduct which will not raise suspicion among the public that he is engaging in acts which are in violation of his public trust and which will not reflect unfavorably upon the city and its government. (c) Private interest; gifts. No city employee or official shall have any interest in any private enterprise, nor shall he incur any obligation of any nature which is in substantial conflict

Ordinance #2017-14 - Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethics Commission Page 6 with the proper performance of his duties in the public interest. No city employee or official shall accept other employment, any compensation, gift, payment of expenses or any other thing of monetary value under circumstances in which such acceptance may result in any of the following: (1) Impairment of independence of judgment in the exercise of official duties; (2) An undertaking to give preferential treatment to any person; (3) The making of a governmental decision outside official channels; or (4) Any adverse effect on the confidence of the public in the integrity of the government of the city. (d) Interest in private enterprise. No city employee or official shall acquire a financial interest in any private enterprise which he has reason to believe may be directly involved in decisions to be made by him in an official capacity on behalf of the city. (e) Prohibitions relating to conflicts of interest. No councilman or other official or employee, whether paid or unpaid, shall engage in any business or transaction or shall have a financial or other personal interest, direct or indirect, which is incompatible with the proper discharge of his official duties in the public interest or would tend to impair his independence of judgment or action in the performance of his official duties. Personal as distinguished from financial interest includes an interest arising from blood or marriage relationships or close business or political association provided, that upon request from any person with official responsibility with respect to the matter, any such person who has such a personal or private interest may nevertheless respond to questions concerning any such matter. (1) Restrictions on exercise of official authority. a. Prohibited participation. No city employee or official may participate on behalf of the city in the review or disposition of any matter pending before the city in which he has a personal or private interest, provided that, upon request from any person with official responsibility with respect to the matter, any such person who has such a personal or private interest may nevertheless respond to questions concerning any such matter. A personal or private interest in a matter is an interest which tends to impair a person's independence of judgment in the performance of his duties with respect to that matter. b. Impairment of judgment. A person has an interest which tends to impair his independence of judgment in the performance of his duties with respect to any matter when: i. Any action or inaction with respect to the matter would result in a financial benefit or detriment to accrue to the person or a close relative to a greater extent than such benefit or detriment would

Ordinance #2017-14 - Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethics Commission Page 7 accrue to others who are members of the same class or group of persons; or ii.

(Code 1981, § 2-14; Ord. of 7-13-1998) Sec. 30-73. – Rules of procedure; complaints; hearings; dispositions. (a) Any person, either personally or on behalf of an organization or governmental body, may file a sworn complaint for the ethics commission with the city clerk. The complaint must be in writing, be signed, and show the address of the person who submitted it. The complaint must state that, to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief formed after reasonable reflection, the information in the complaint is true. The complaint must describe the facts that constitute the violation of the standards of ethical conduct in sufficient detail so that the ethics commission and the person who is the subject of the complaint can reasonably be expected to understand the nature of any offense that is being alleged. The commission may request any additional information deemed necessary to screen the complaint or to render a decision. No complaints shall be accepted or considered which relate to actions that took place more than one (1) year prior to the date of filing. The individual filing the sworn complaint has sixty (60) days from the date that the issue is brought to his or her attention to file a complaint. (b) After the sworn complaint has been filed, none of the parties or their representatives may communicate on an ex parte basis with any commission members pertaining to the complaint. All communications pertaining to the complaint shall be submitted to the city clerk.

Ordinance #2017-14 - Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethics Commission Page 12 (c) Within seven (7) days of receiving a sworn complaint the city clerk shall send copies of the complaint to each member of the ethics commission, the city solicitor, and the official or officials against whom such complaint has been filed. Hereinafter, the complaining party shall be referred to as the "complainant" and the official against whom a complaint has been lodged shall be referred to as the "respondent." (d) The commission recognizes that distribution to the public of a sworn complaint prior to screening by the commission as required below could harm the reputation of an innocent person and is contrary to the public interest; therefore, the public release of the complaint is prohibited until the screening process has been completed. The commission shall consult in confidence to screen the complaint within fourteen (14) days of receiving the complaint. The commission may immediately dismiss a complaint if: (1) It has no jurisdiction; or (2) The alleged violation, if true, would not constitute a violation of the standards of ethical conduct; or (3) The alleged violation is a minor or de minimis violation; or (4) The complaint is, on its face, frivolous, groundless, or brought for purposes of harassment; or (5) The matter has become moot because the person who is the subject of the complaint is no longer an officer, official or employee; or (6) The respondent had obtained an advisory opinion under section 30-74(c) permitting the conduct; or (7) The appointing authority of the respondent has already taken action as a result of finding a violation and the commission believes the action was appropriate. (e) In issues regarding standards of ethical conduct violations, the enforcement process is intended to be corrective rather than remedial unless the violation is a repeated offense. In the event the ethics commission determines a standards of ethical conduct violation has occurred, and it is minor in nature, with the concurrence of the complainant and the subject of the sworn complaint, the commission may dispense with the hearing process and conduct a more informal mediation process in lieu of a hearing. (f) If the sworn complaint is not dismissed or otherwise resolved pursuant to subsection 30-73(d), the city clerk shall promptly contact the members of the ethics commission, the city solicitor, the complainant, and the respondent in order to ascertain a date and time when a hearing can be convened on such complaint. As soon as a date and time have been agreed upon for a hearing before the ethics commission, the city clerk shall send written notice of such scheduling and a copy of the rules of procedure to the complainant and to the respondent. No copies of the complaint shall be provided to any other parties before the respondent receives the complaint.

Ordinance #2017-14 - Chapter 30, Code of Conduct and Ethics Commission Page 13 proceeding, a defendant shall be given an opportunity to be heard after notice, to be advised and assisted by legal counsel, to produce witnesses and offer evidence, and to cross examine witnesses. A transcript of any such proceeding shall be made and retained, subject to the confidentiality requirements of this chapter. (g) The commission may dismiss a complaint if the complainant does not appear at the hearing and if, in the opinion of the commission, it would be unfair to the respondent not to have the opportunity to examine the complainant. (h) As promptly as possible after the close of the hearing, the commission shall deliberate to determine if the allegations have been proven by clear and convincing evidence. Only ethics commission members who have been present for the hearing may participate in the deliberations, and any findings and recommendations must be adopted by a majority of the commission. The commission may consider, when making findings and recommendations, the severity of the offense, the presence or absence of any intention to conceal, deceive, or mislead, whether the violation was deliberate, negligent or inadvertent, and whether the incident was isolated or part of a pattern. (i) Within seven days of the conclusion of deliberations, the commission shall issue an order setting forth its findings and recommendations. In the alternative, the commission where it deems it appropriate, may issue an advisory opinion in lieu of making findings and recommendations. (j) If the respondent is an employee, the commission may, if it determines corrective action is necessary, notify the city manager or the council president and recommend that action be taken, including discipline. (k) If the respondent is a city official, the commission may propose actions to the city council that are appropriate to the finding as specified in section 30-73(o). (l) The commission shall send a written copy of its findings and recommendations to the respondent and the complainant. (m) Proceeding relating to member. A member of the ethics commission shall be ineligible to participate, as a member of the ethics commission, in any ethics commission proceeding relating to his conduct. A member of the ethics commission who has been found by the ethics commission to have violated this chapter shall be ineligible to serve again as a member of the ethics commission. (n) Self-disqualification. A member of the ethics commission may disqualify himself from participating in any investigation of the conduct of any person upon submission, in writing and under oath, of an affidavit or disqualification stating that he cannot render an impartial and unbiased decision in the case in which he seeks to disqualify himself.

Members present were Mr. Hudson (Acting City Manager’s designee), Mr. Hugg, Ms. Evans, Mr. Sheth (arrived at 9:30 a.m.), and Mr. Hammond (arrived at 9:22 a.m.). Mr. Hare, Mr. Cole, and Mrs. Mitchell were absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Due to the lack of a quorum at the commencement of the meeting, the agenda was not adopted. Presentation - Economic Development and Downtown Revitalization (Mayor Mike Purzycki, City of Wilmington) Mayor Christiansen introduced Mayor Mike Purzycki, the 56th Mayor of the City of Wilmington, stating that Mayor Purzycki is a great force in economic development in the City of Wilmington and the State of Delaware and could bring a message of hope and encouragement to the City of Dover’s economic development efforts, based on the successes that he has had in his community and city. Mayor Christiansen noted that partnership on economic development and other issues equates to success. Mayor Purzycki stated that it was nice to be back in Dover, noting that he had been Senate Attorney in the early '80s and spent more time in Dover when Mr. Joe Purzycki was a coach at Caesar Rodney High School and Delaware State. Mayor Purzycki stated that he did not miss a game for all those years and saw every Friday night Henlopen Conference football game throughout the late '70s and '80s. Mayor Purzycki stated that being Mayor of the City of Wilmington had been an extraordinary experience. He noted that he was 72 years old and did not expect to find himself in the unique situation of taking on the job of mayor at his age but did so because it felt right. Mayor Purzycki advised that he got to a point in his life where he looked at his city and saw that it was not doing very well. He indicated that he did not realize how difficult the job was with respect to the number of things that come at him every single day from every corner and stated that he thought that everybody ought to be mayor for one (1) hour. Mayor Purzycki advised that he was surprised how rewarding the job could be, noting that people say it must be a thankless job; however, it is anything but thankless and people are very generous and appreciative. Mayor Purzycki stated that his reputation was largely due to his work on the Riverfront. He advised that he has had a successful and happy life, has a great family, and is very blessed in those respects. Mayor Purzycki stated that he was previously in the private sector and suddenly became the executive director of the Riverfront, which was an extraordinary experience. He explained that all of the buildings there were Department of Defense grade buildings that were left over after World War II, and there was nothing attractive, such as in the antebellum South with its big, old, brick buildings with beautiful architecture. Mayor Purzycki explained that they took what they could and made something special out of it, noting that when they started there was nothing there but Frawley Stadium and Kahunaville. He stated that Kahunaville brought a lot of people to the area; however, everything was kind of trashy, and they had to figure out what to do. Mayor Purzycki advised that the success they had was because of a vision of what the development could be. He indicated that the initial vision was an image of a huge harbor to be built on the marshland east of Walnut Street;

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 2 however, it made more sense to him to develop the west side, where the development is today. Mayor Purzycki advised that if he brought anything to his role it was a practical sense of what could be done, versus the starry-eyed things that had been talked about. He noted that the grand images were inspiring to some people and denigrating to others because they were so silly, and he thought he brought everybody back to earth with an aspiration that was grand but pretty realistic and wound up being much of what is seen today. Mayor Purzycki advised that there has to be leadership. He noted that there does not have to be a great leader; however, there must be someone that everyone has confidence in because decisions must be made. He indicated that, more often than not, it is not the idea that is bet on but the individual, and people will place a bet on an individual or organization that they have confidence in. Mayor Purzycki advised that investment is needed and noted that, in Wilmington, the '90s were pretty strong and there were surpluses in the State. He explained that Governor Tom Carper, as well as Senator Patty Blevins and Representative Roger Roy, co-chairs of the Bond Bill Committee, believed in the project and were committed to it, and whenever there was an idea they would write a check. Mayor Purzycki stated that all the good ideas in the world will not work without any money. He noted that about $250M was probably used over 22 years in roads and Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) spending; in cleaning up land, a good bit of which was owned publicly by the State and City; and in building necessary infrastructure. Mayor Purzycki advised that approximately $100M were economic development funds, noting that approximately $5M was received per year, which allowed them to operate. He stated that these funds provided some wiggle room on investments they made; however, they returned every single penny back to the State in taxes in 2013, when the payback was finished. Mayor Purzycki also indicated that about $40M came back to the State every year due to the employment and economic development that was going on, noting that these were the University's figures and not his own. He advised that this was a great justification for the necessity of investment. Mayor Purzycki explained that these projects cannot be done cheaply and a difference can be seen between places where there is investment and where there is none. Mayor Purzycki advised that when he left the Riverfront project, approximately two (2) years ago, there were 7,000 people working and 1,400 people living there, a dozen restaurants, and a spectacularly beautiful wildlife refuge. He noted that there are river boats, a movie theater, a children's museum, and the Riverfront Market. Mayor Purzycki stated that the Riverfront was turning into a wonderful place that could be put in any city in America and people would still say, "Boy this is really nice down here." He indicated that there was much more to come, two (2) hotel developers had applications in to build hotels, and another restaurant was being built. Mayor Purzycki advised that a bridge was currently under construction across the river and Wilmington was one (1) of the long shot competitors for Amazon. He explained that competing for Amazon was a great exercise that made Wilmington reflect on their greatness and their shortcomings. Mayor Purzycki stated that they hired Robert A. M. Sterns, one (1) of the world's great architectural design firms, to provide a vision of what the South Market and South Walnut Street area, on the other side of the river across the bridge, could be. He noted that this is the area

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 3 where the ShopRite is and where they had gotten rid of big petroleum tanks, although there are still tanks from the recycling operation there, and that they want to land plant that area all over again. Mayor Purzycki explained that Robert A.M. Sterns had done the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, this was the kind of model that Wilmington was looking for, and Robert A. M. Sterns came back with an outstanding plan that Wilmington cannot to wait to roll out in the near future. He stated that redeveloping that side of the river in this way has the potential to redefine the City of Wilmington forever. Mayor Purzycki indicated that the rest of Wilmington has economic development challenges. He stated that, on the positive side, in addition to the hotels, 1,000 units are being built, including some on the Riverfront, 300-400 downtown, and another 500 throughout other parts of the City. Mayor Purzycki advised that Wilmington has a good, strong residential market; people who are willing to move into the City; and developers who are willing to invest a great deal of money. He indicated that their negative issue is crime, which appears in the papers all the time. Mayor Purzycki informed members that when he ran for office, he stated, "Crime is not the problem, crime is a symptom of the problem, and if you keep chasing crime as a problem you will never beat it. You simply won't beat it. You have to keep looking at what the underlying causes are of crime." He advised that in Wilmington the causes are joblessness, poverty, and a kind of subculture of underclass. Mayor Purzycki stated that this was deeply distressing to him as a human being and confounding as somebody who is in charge of trying to steer the course for the City in the future. He indicated that his commitment was to do whatever it takes to turn around these neighborhoods and address problems in a way that is uncomfortable for some people, because we have done some things as a society that we should not be proud of. Mayor Purzycki advised that he had hired the best police chief in the country, noting that in the history of Wilmington's Police Department they had never hired a police chief outside their City limit or Department. He stated that his reasoning was that if you keep getting people from the same department, in any department, you get a recycling of what they did before. Mayor Purzycki indicated that everybody learns from the old chief, who learned from the old chief, who learned from the chief before him. Mayor Purzycki noted that it was stated in a crime report approximately five (5) years ago that Wilmington had tried every crime strategy proven to work in cities throughout America, and Wilmington always moves on to chase the next shiny object. He advised that this is like a football coach who says, "Our blocking and tackling is not the problem, let's change the system." Mayor Purzycki stated that if you cannot do the basics, any system does not work. He advised that Wilmington had to change what it was doing, and the best way to do that was to hire a new chief. Mayor Purzycki informed members that there were 30 applicants from every large city in America and, after interviewing many of them, he hired Police Chief Bob Tracy, who had 22 or 24 years in New York City and five (5) years in Chicago. He noted that Chief Tracy understood any number of strategies that had worked very well in New York City, and crime had dropped precipitously while he was in New York and in Chicago. Mayor Purzycki stated that they have a lot of confidence in the Chief, who goes out into every single community and meets with everybody. He advised that

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 4 Wilmington’s police officers are everywhere, there are more police on the street than ever before, and they meet people, including good guys and bad guys. Mayor Purzycki indicated that he and Chief Tracy share the tenet that they must start treating people as equals and as people who share the same city. He stated that they cannot keep treating people like “others” and as if a class of people have a different status in their community. Mayor Purzycki advised that this approach had been working and core relationships were being built in the community; however, at the moment this was not translating to a reduction on crime. He indicated that he thought that this was, in large measure, because these kinds of things have to take root so that people will pick up the phone and call and there will be cooperation from their neighbors, which is a longer process. Mayor Purzycki explained that the second part of the process involves the CompStat methods that Wilmington uses, which require the accumulation of data about the people who are committing crimes. He indicated that Wilmington had approximately 167 or 168 shootings. Mayor Purzycki noted that the 125 victims had 2,800 prior arrests, 199 of which were gun charges; therefore, the victims were people who had gotten themselves into much trouble. He stated that the City of Wilmington is trying to get as much data as they can about the people who are committing these crimes and thinking about how to get them off the streets, because they are repeat offenders. Mayor Purzycki indicated that if people are going to insist on carrying guns, he will insist on getting them off the streets. Mayor Purzycki expressed the need for a conversation with the Department of Corrections (DOC) about what they do when they put people into prison because, in his judgment, those who come out of prison are no better off, and in many cases worse, than when they went in. He stated that the DOC is misnamed, noting that it does not correct things but punishes people. Mayor Purzycki advised that there are people who insist that punishment is the right thing to do and expressed the need to face up to the fact that Delaware has the highest recidivism rate of any state in the country, including Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. He stated that 77% of all those coming out of prison will be rearrested in three (3) years, and 66% will return to prison in three (3) years. Mayor Purzycki expressed the need to ask hard questions, noting that if three-quarters of those who come out of prison are going back, maybe someone is doing something wrong. Mayor Purzycki stated that the police are being asked to solve the crime problem the way teachers are being asked to raise kids, and this is a bad decision. He advised that police officers do what they can; however, there is a need to change the communities that everyone lives in. Mayor Purzycki explained that his mantra is that we must strengthen neighbors and rebuild our communities, noting that people are living in terrible, third-world housing in old, broken-down houses that should not be inhabited. He noted that Wilmington did rental inspections for the first time in 10 years in West Center City, which was the first part of the city for his neighborhood stabilization efforts. Mayor Purzycki explained that staff needs permission to inspect rental houses before going to court, and one would assume that those who gave permission to inspect would be people who felt pretty confident about their ability to pass an inspection; however, 28% of them failed. Mayor Purzycki indicated that Wilmington had not yet gotten to the people who did not respond. Mayor Purzycki informed members that Wilmington has a landlord rental industry of people who will buy a property cheaply, slap some paint on it, and collect a stiff rent, because everybody pays $800-$900 for their rent to the City. He stated that there is a condition of deterioration in the

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 5 neighborhoods, and many landlords are, in a sense, predatory, although they do not think of themselves that way. Mayor Purzycki advised that these landlords are profiteers because they can buy a house for $30,000, slap some paint on it, and, if they get the rent, receive $800 per month, and this is the big number they are chasing. He stated that this is where the mind set of the people in the City of Wilmington must be changed. Mayor Purzycki indicated that, looking forward, he feels pretty good about what is going on in Wilmington. He noted that optimism is considerably up because of confidence in leadership. Mayor Purzycki stated that if people believe that things can get better, things just start to get better. He advised that he did not take this for granted and did not want to squander it, but people were pretty excited about what could be done. Mayor Purzycki stated that although crime was up, people were not complaining about it. He advised that there had not been letters to the editor, which is not a bad bellwether, noting there may be five (5) letters tomorrow. Mayor Purzycki indicated that people understand that things will not turn around quickly and stated the importance of people believing that what was being done would accomplish the goal. Mayor Purzycki stated that he was fortunate to have a key developer who is willing to spend huge amounts of money on the city. He explained that the Buccini/Pollin family is committed to the City of Wilmington, which is emotionally their home, and this group had a huge investment in Wilmington. Mayor Purzycki indicated that some may argue that their investment is self- preservation; however, he stated that Buccini/Pollin believes in this little world and his job is to support them in everything single way possible. He noted that this is good advice for any mayor anywhere, and if someone wants to invest in your city, you should support them. Mayor Purzycki advised members that Wilmington has some remarkable things going on, with many people building apartments and great projects underway. He stated that he feels good about the future as long as he can put together a plan to deal with the City’s communities, which are pretty fractured. Mayor Purzycki noted that he reads the paper and knew that Dover has issues also, although on a different scale, and that Dover wishes it could deal better with violence. He expressed his belief that this is America’s problem. Mayor Purzycki indicated that last week was difficult and that, within two (2) days, a poor mother had drowned her two (2) children and two (2) men were shot in the middle of West Center City, the area where Wilmington’s staff is working as hard as they can and where police are doing such a great job. He noted that another individual from Maryland shot someone in Wilmington after killing two (2) or three (3) people in Maryland, and that all of this was enough to get one’s shoulders a little bowed. Mayor Purzycki stated that, at the same time, Father Gregory Boyle, a remarkable man who is a Jesuit from Los Angeles, came to speak. He explained that Father Boyle is the head of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, which puts those who are coming out of prison to work, for example, as painting contractors, and builds its own business. Mayor Purzycki advised that Father Gregory noted that Homeboy Industries is the biggest employer around for men coming out of prison. He noted that Father Gregory has a sense of humor, is real, and is in the trenches. He stated that the things that Father Gregory talked about meant a lot to him because one can look at things all day long and think they have it right, and then someone gives a perspective that changes one’s focus.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 6 Mayor Purzycki stated that he thought Father Gregory was right when he stated that we spend all of our time judging each other and we ought to marvel, in some cases, that people do as well as they do, given the burdens they have in their lives. He noted that he loved Father Gregory’s statement that we have to live in kinship with one another, because in kinship you do not judge one another and are not living in service of one another. Mayor Purzycki stated that Father Gregory indicated that living in service of one another suggests that the superior person is giving something to the subordinate person; however, in kinship everyone understands that they are all in this together, which this is a mind set that is very difficult for some people. Mayor Purzycki indicated that his eyes had opened up to this idea, he was moved by it, and he thought this is ultimately what must be done. He explained that he thinks differently about going to work every day than he did before, this approach works, and he has hope. Mr. Hammond advised that, in looking at West Center City and Southbridge, Wilmington has structural unemployment problems. He stated, in regard to the high recidivism rate, that although he did not have empirical data, he believed that a lot of those who come back to prison cannot get employment, and they go back to the things that put them in jail. Mr. Hammond stated his understanding that financial services, such as credit card and banking businesses are a major economic employer in the city; however, those coming out of prison have never worked in these areas, and he noted that DuPont had been scaled down. He asked what Mayor Purzycki’s strategy was for engaging people in a long-term attachment to work in view of the structural problems in Delaware. Responding, Mayor Purzycki stated that 66 percent of all men over 18 years old in Wilmington’s three (3) zip codes have been in prison. He noted that it is a tough road to get a job after getting out of prison and these individuals will obviously not get a well-paying job. Mayor Purzycki stated that some people may question why those with no skills or record should get employment. He advised that the bigger problem is that two-thirds of these men will go back to prison again. Mayor Purzycki indicated that we tend to obsess over kids and noted that, off the top of his head, he could immediately recall two (2) schools in Wilmington where 3% or less of the students in third and eighth grades can do math at grade level and 8% can read at grade level. He advised that everybody states the need to help children and all of the emotional energy goes toward them. Mayor Purzycki stated that he was asked what kind of program he would have for kids if he had $1M, and he answered that he would spend this money on employing their fathers. He indicated that the trouble with our community is that young people do not internalize the kind of middle-class values that we simply take for granted. Mayor Purzycki explained that, although he had not been a very good student, he always knew that he would go to college because he was surrounded by expectations that he would do so, and he internalized that growing up. He noted that many people do the same thing that their parents did, such as becoming a police officer, fireman, or accountant. Mayor Purzycki advised that we internalize images as we grow and they become our aspirations. He indicated that people always say to him that these kids have no hope. Mayor Purzycki explained that words matter, and before one can have hope they have to have an aspiration. He indicated that kids do not even know what to hope for, and to him this was the big problem. Mayor Purzycki stated that the challenge is the cycle of poverty. He advised that no one should be judged, because as soon as this is done the conversation becomes exhausting. Mayor Purzycki

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 7 indicated that half of the room wants to say that things should be done as their family did them, others want to talk about entrenched racism, and no one gets anywhere. Mayor Purzycki noted that there are men who cannot work when they finally decide they want to do so and, in his judgment, if they are not put to work, nothing else will work, regardless of how good the schools are. He expressed the desire for kids to feel the temple of life around them, explaining that people wake up in the morning, work all day, come home, relax in front of the TV, and go to bed. Mayor Purzycki indicated that if this is not the cycle of someone’s life, they may wake up at 11:00 and hang out on the streets all day long, and there may be 20 people standing on a street corner doing nothing. He stated that the second path will not end well, something ill-advised will be done, and this is what happens every day. Mayor Purzycki stated the need find a way to get people working, even if this must be forced for a while. He noted that everybody says that they want to work; however, some have never held a job. Mayor Purzycki informed members that he had been to step-down houses for those coming out of prison where a program for resume writing was provided that only a bureaucrat could make up. He estimated that only two (2) out of 30 former prisoners have held jobs and asked what they would put on their resumes. In addition, Mayor Purzycki advised that although these individuals state that they want to work, if he gets them a job they do not appear for work on the second day because they have never had to get out of bed and go to work every day. He noted that when they get to work, the boss may give them a hard time, which is part of working, and if they are not used to this they may take a swing at the boss and be fired. Mayor Purzycki stated that it takes a long time for people to understand what it takes to be a responsible employee. Mayor Purzycki reiterated the need to get people working because so much money is being spent on the other end. He noted that the Works Projects Administration (WPA) from 70-100 years ago put people to work during the Depression, and this approach worked. Mayor Purzycki advised that what we have now is worse than a depression. He stated that people should be put to work and there is plenty for them to do, noting that this might offend some people's politics. Mayor Purzycki stated the need to be practical because what was currently being done was not working. He advised that you cannot have two-thirds of the people going to prison and two-thirds of them going back again, noting that, doing the math, the statistic would become 90%, not 70%. He advised that this was his answer and that he did not have the details fleshed out. Mayor Purzycki indicated that a tremendous amount of money was invested in the Riverfront, there was a huge return, and we can also invest in human capital and have a great return. Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, stated that he has two (2) mayors, since he works daily with Mayor Christiansen and lives in Wilmington. He noted that he is originally from New York and had been living in Delaware since 1988, when a lot of bankers and other people came from New York. Mr. Hudson indicated that over time he had been able to see the transformation of Market Street, had strolled from one end of it to the other for the first time over the past weekend, and was impressed to see how far Market Street had come. He noted that it had been hard to get people to come to that area; however, it was now bustling and many different things were opening up. Mr. Hudson asked what the top three (3) things were that Wilmington had done to turn that area

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 8 around and inspire people to want to open businesses there. Responding, Mayor Purzycki advised that Market Street was not yet where they wanted it to be. He stated that the first thing was to have a developer who believes in the city and knows how to avail himself of the various programs that the State, city, and private sector offer. Mayor Purzycki explained that it is not easy to make things profitable, so partners are needed who help cushion the blow on the investment that will be made. Mayor Purzycki stated that, for Wilmington, investment is a no brainer because the return is tremendous. Mayor Purzycki stated that the Riverfront never worked until people lived there. He recalled that in approximately the tenth year they needed photographs for a periodical and had to use time lapse photography to get enough people in the picture. Mayor Purzycki indicated that after people began living in the area, everything suddenly worked because it became populated and felt friendly. Mayor Purzycki indicated that no one was living in the area for a long time, then the Buccini/Pollin Group developed the Residences at Rodney Square in the old Delaware Trust building, which was a start, and the LOMA development then started to work as well. He indicated that there is now a fund for the upstairs, another 200 units must be built scattered on the second floor of the retail spaces, and larger units are currently being built there. Mayor Purzycki advised that as soon as people are seen getting up in the morning, walking out and having coffee, and having friends over, the place will suddenly feel different. Mayor Purzycki indicated that Wilmington has the same problem that Dover has, which is that retail business is struggling everywhere, and it is difficult to get retail business except in New York or Philadelphia, where there is a lot of money to patronize these businesses. He noted that Wilmington has many good things, including the Wilmington Playhouse, the Wilmington Grand Opera House, and The Queen. Mayor Purzycki stated that a big investment was needed to get The Queen going; however, The Queen was great because it provided some entertainment in the area. Mayor Purzycki stated that Wilmington always gives people incentives to open businesses in different places, supports people, has good jobs, and will pay the ransom to keep businesses there. He indicated that he wanted to subsidize restaurants, night life, and bars because this is how he ultimately saw the downtown being populated. Mayor Purzycki advised that the Riverfront is going to be wonderful, but it will not have the city feel. He noted that Market Street has a block or two (2) that still needs some work, but it is very pretty. Mayor Purzycki stated that they had painted some of their buildings with nice colors, so the area feels good and is getting better. He indicated that they also have other nice things to start with there, such as the Historical Society. Mr. Mike Harrington, ERA Harrington Realty, asked what Mayor Purzycki would suggest that the Department of Corrections do so that they do not have such a large return. Responding, Mayor Purzycki reiterated that he had been Senate Attorney in Dover for years and got a flavor of the culture of the State. He stated that our State had always had the idea that if you commit a crime you get punished for your crime, and he did not think people worried about who was going to prison. Mayor Purzycki stated that when his predecessor ran, he stated, “I’m not going to hug a thug,” and everybody loved it; however, Mayor Purzycki stated that these individuals are people and, although some of the people put in prison cannot be fixed easily, there are many who are 18, 19, or 22 years old and are still pretty malleable. He advised that people can be treated in such a way that they come out of prison better than when they went in, with a General Educational Diploma (GED), education,

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 9 or training. Mayor Purzycki noted that he meets people in the steel fabrication business who need welders terribly; however, they will not hire an unemployed welder because there are so many jobs and so few welders that they assume that an unemployed welder probably does not know what he is doing. He indicated that one would think that we would be investing by teaching skills like welding to prisoners, who could make much more than $15 per hour when they get out of prison. Mayor Purzycki advised that he was aware that some individuals cannot be fixed. He noted that there are many people who are in prison for multiple gun offenses and should not just be turned out but have to prove that they can be released. Mayor Purzycki indicated that these individuals go back to the same places, have the same habits, and are the ones that are killing their neighbors. Mayor Purzycki indicated that the mentality of police officers had always been to see themselves as warriors; however, they are now starting to think of themselves as people who are guarding and working in cooperation with the public, which is a different mind set. He noted that officers can flip the warrior switch. He advised that DOC also needs a new mind set. He stated that inmates are the bad guys; however, they have to be treated like human beings if they are to behave like human beings. Mayor Purzycki noted that he did not have a precise answer to Mr. Harrington’s question; however, to state that there is no funding is foolish because money will be paid sooner or later. Ms. Evans stated that she did not claim to be an expert on this subject; however, her husband had retired in April from the DOC after 28 years. She indicated that Mayor Purzycki was correct, noting that if someone’s father grandfather, and mother are teachers, they become a teacher. Ms. Evans advised that it is the same way with those who have grandfathers, fathers, and uncles in prison. She stated that her husband worked for the last nine (9) years in an area of the DOC where concrete, welding, car repair, and upholstery are taught, so there are programs in place. Ms. Evans indicated that Mayor Purzycki and Mr. Hammond were more correct in saying that once prisoners are released there has to be an option for them if they have learned a skill. She noted that former prisoners are not used to working and the work environment. Ms. Evans advised that they have two (2) paths to choose when they are released: taking what they have learned or fitting right back into the same family and neighborhood and continuing down that path, and she asked which is the easier path. She suggested, although it would not be easy, putting money into some type of mentorship program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), to plug these individuals into and have someone mentor, help, and pursue them. Ms. Evans indicated they could then possibly take that road less traveled within their own family or neighborhood, and begin developing that group one (1) person at a time. She stated that what the DOC does is not perfect; however, they do have programs that should be expanded on. Ms. Evans advised that the issue was more about figuring out what path former prisoners will take and whether or not they will put their skills to use. Mayor Purzycki stated that we cannot be naive about what happens when a young man comes out of prison and goes back to the neighborhood where he grew up. He advised members that there is a wonderful book entitled, "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace" which he read and enjoyed because it took place in Newark, New Jersey, his hometown. Mayor Purzycki explained that this young man grew up in East Orange, New Jersey, blocks away from Newark, and Charlie Cawley from MBNA paid for him to go to St. Benedict’s. He indicated that Robert Peace went to Yale, where other students had money but he did not. Mayor Purzycki advised that Robert waited on tables but also sold marijuana and almost got jammed up; however, someone backed him and he managed to graduate at the top of his class in microbiology. He stated that Robert went to work for

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 10 American Airlines as a baggage handler because he wanted to see the world. Mayor Purzycki explained that Robert saved $60,000 and put it in his uncle’s care while he traveled; however, when he returned, his uncle had spent the money and Robert was broke and went back to selling drugs. Mayor Purzycki advised that someone who is caught selling drugs in New Haven receives a smack on the wrist; however, in East Orange one can be killed for doing this, and Robert Peace was killed. He noted that he knew another tragic story exactly like Robert’s, kids coming out of prison go back to what they know, and there is nothing good back there. Mayor Purzycki indicated that this issue is terribly complex and a tremendous challenge, and a terrible disservice is done by not defining the problem correctly. Mr. Mike Petit de Mange, Kent County Administrator, referred to Mayor Purzycki’s comment that great visions with no money do not go anywhere. He noted that the Riverfront project was a great example of a project that went somewhere; however, there was public and private risk. Mr. Petit de Mange stated that it is very common in most places for local governments to be risk averse, they do not want to go into debt and are afraid of it, and they expect someone else to pay for it. He asked for Mayor Purzycki to discuss some of the tools he may have employed or promoted in the Riverfront to get where they are, as well as what he was looking to do to finance Phase 2, which sounded exciting. In response, Mayor Purzycki stated that the City of Wilmington made proportionate contributions early. He noted that the City’s pockets are not as deep as the State’s; however, the City made investments along the way, and the things that they did early were not terribly risky. Mayor Purzycki explained, for example, that the first thing they spent a lot of money on was the Chase Center. He noted that every time he goes into the Center he questions what the City would do without it since the City does not have anyplace else to put 500 or 1,000 people. Mayor Purzycki advised that the building was built for $14M, and this was a remarkable effort. He noted that it has 126,000 square feet downstairs and 80,000 unfinished square feet upstairs. Mayor Purzycki informed members that when it was finished, they had $14M in another building, traded this building with Verino Pettinaro, who got the building for which rent is paid, and Wilmington got a building which is spectacular. He advised that, when all was said and done, the cost was $14M. Mayor Purzycki stated that the risk was owning a building that became their convention center, which was not a big risk. Mayor Purzycki indicated that there were things that were a little risky at times, noting that the Riverwalk cost $25M and the river’s edge was just mush, because it had been used for shipbuilding and had gouges every 200-300 feet for shipways. He explained that ships were built on the land and had to slide down these shipways. Mayor Purzycki advised that the cost was so much because the place where they wanted to have the Riverwalk had whatever fill had been put in over the years. He noted that some of the ways they used money were a little aggressive, and it would have been on him if things did not work out well. Mayor Purzycki stated that they overpaid for the property where the Big Fish Grill on the Riverfront is located. He noted that the power of eminent domain was lost in the General Assembly eight (8) or 10 years ago and the owner of the roofing company at this location had the advantage of knowing that the uglier the building, the more they would have to pay for it. Mayor Purzycki advised that most of the money was recovered when they sold the property to the Big Fish Grill. He stated that although they lost $600,000 or $800,000, it was a bargain to get rid of a roofing company eyesore and trade it for a nice restaurant, which will become a hotel and a conference room.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 11 Mayor Purzycki explained that judgments are made along the line and this undertaking is not for the timid. He stated that a few dollars may be lost, but there are important reasons for doing projects. Mayor Purzycki advised that if you have your convictions about you, you will find people will be willing, noting that someone will always complain. He indicated that there must be judgment about what funds are invested in along the way, and it is important not to look at it on a project-by-project basis because there are loss leaders in every big investment. Mayor Purzycki noted that, although money will be lost on parts of the development, a tremendous amount of money will be made when looking at the big picture. He stated that the only sensible way of looking at the Riverfront is to consider how much money was put in and how much comes back every year, regardless of where it comes from. Mayor Purzycki explained that money may be lost here or there, but if three (3) times more is made somewhere else, it is a success. Mr. Tom Burns, Burns and Ellis Realtors, stated that he was born and raised in Wilmington, and he knew what downtown Market Street used to look like and that all the shopping, etc., eventually moved away. He noted that he had been in Kent County for 40 years. Mr. Burns advised that, in the past 10 years, Kent County had not recovered from the recession in terms of unemployment and New Castle County was suffering from the same malady. He stated that he saw things going in the wrong direction in the State, businesses were disincentivized from moving here, and asked what Delaware can do as a state. Mr. Burns indicated that those in Kent County are striving to have stronger businesses come in to avoid underemployment; however, Delaware now ranks above the national average on unemployment. He indicated that he, the members of the Kent Economic Partnership, and other people in the room feel that they are at loggerheads with the State in terms of trying to move things forward. Mr. Burns stated, for example, that he and Mr. Harrington are real estate brokers and, at the last minute, the State increased the State transfer tax by one-third, which disincentivizes businesses and real estate investors to come here. Mayor Purzycki stated that this tax adds to the burden when going into transactions, especially for young people buying homes. He advised that an estimated 5,000 or 6,000 people who do not come from Delaware own homes in Sussex County. Mayor Purzycki indicated that their deeds reflect that these homes are not even owned by people but by family trusts from Maryland, Georgia, and Virginia who beat the system and are not charged anything for taxes. He noted that there may be a $5M house on the beach whose owners do not pay $5,000 in taxes, and when the owners come for the closing they see the yearly amount for taxes and ask if it is the monthly rate. Mayor Purzycki indicated that this made no sense to him and it is hard for him to get his head around people coming from out of State, paying no sales tax, using our services, and paying nothing. He stated that Delaware’s taxes are so low that we invite older people from other states to come here, and all Delaware gets from them is a transfer tax. Mayor Purzycki noted that Delaware probably gives these individuals some sort of exemption since everyone is given a $500 exemption for being 65 years old, or possibly younger, and this is not even means tested. He stated that in the northern part of the State, where schools are so challenged, people of significant means who are wage earners are chased into Chester County, Pennsylvania. He advised that in the southern part of the State, Delaware attracts people who are retiring from other states who will pay nothing and Delaware does not even get a decent property tax out of them. Mayor Purzycki stated that Delaware then finds itself without money and raises the transfer tax. He indicated that it is said that a 10-cent gas cannot be added when gas costs $2.60. Mayor Purzycki advised that smart investment must be made in a state or it will die.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 12 In regard to how to attract things to Delaware, Mayor Purzycki stated that people over-sophisticate why they choose a place. He noted that location is important, and Delaware has an unbelievable location. Mayor Purzycki advised that another question is how attractive a state is, some parts of Delaware are very attractive, and other parts are fixable but have been neglected. Mayor Purzycki stated that old, beaten up places on a highway indicate poverty, and that a sign that has not been fixed for 40 years states that we cannot afford to fix it and are old and tired. He advised that when he was running for office, he said, “If you have some guy standing on your highway with a sign saying, ‘Please help me, I'm homeless,’ that says there’s something wrong with your city. You can't have it. You cannot have that guy standing there. You want to give him money? You do it on your own terms. He's not standing here, because that says the city is unwell.” Mayor Purzycki indicated that, when driving down the highway, if there are places that look like they are ready to fall down and probably should be leveled, this says that the location is unwell. Mayor Purzycki stated that the bond rating is strong and there are a lot of favorable things, including a great location and physical appeal. He indicated that the schools should be in Delaware’s favor and, unfortunately, this cannot be said. Mayor Purzycki advised that access to government is tremendously important, noting that he sat with Mr. Jamie Dimon, Chairman, JP Morgan Chase, for an hour at their annual meeting and discussed access to the elected officials in Delaware. Mr. Dimon stated that Mayor Purzycki had no idea how important it is to him that Mr. Dimon can call Senator Chris Coons or Senator Tom Carper when he needs something or wants them to understand his point of view, and this does not happen elsewhere. Mayor Purzycki explained that Mr. Dimon stated that he had now spoken to Mayor Purzycki more than he had ever spoken to Mayor Bill de DeBlasio of New York, and that one cannot get to the Mayor of New York and speak to him. Mayor Purzycki stated that Delaware offers these organizations instant access to its congressional delegation, and Delaware’s two (2) senators are as important as Texas or California senators. He stated that he thought Delaware should take advantage of these kinds of things. Ms. Tammy Parris, Parris Nail Lounge, asked what should be done first for economic development downtown. In response, Mayor Purzycki stated that it would be presumptuous for him to advise on this subject since he does not know everything about downtown Dover, and this is why he was spending time here. He noted that it is now difficult for little downtowns everywhere, which had suffered economically, other than Newark, Delaware, which has the University of Delaware. Mayor Purzycki stated that Newark is thriving and is a wonderful little town, but it has 20,000 people walking around with pockets full of money to spend and 60 restaurants. He expressed his belief that it is a well-managed city, noting that it is easier to manage a place where there is money than a small town that is asking how to get retail downtown after retail has moved to the malls. Mayor Purzycki stated that retail is not strong in Wilmington, and that is why they need entertainment. He advised that Wilmington’s downtown has to find its image, which he thought would have to be entertainment and culture. He noted that every place has to be real, stating that people are always waiting for a Nordstrom’s, which is not going to happen. Mayor Purzycki advised that it is hard to get retailers and the kind of things that you want to see downtown. He stated that he wished he could provide better advice; however, he would not presume to tell those in Dover how to do their jobs. Mayor Christiansen thanked Mayor Purzycki for his insight and for answering questions.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2017 PAGE 13 By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 10:12 a.m. Meeting adjourned at 10:12 a.m. Robin R.

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 16, 2017 PAGE 2 Ms. Paige stated that the Commission would have to increase the time because meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. and the comment period would have to be before opening the meeting. She indicated that she was bringing these matters to members’ attention because the Communications Committee wanted to seek approval of the brochure tonight with the amendments. In addition, she stated the desire to be able to update the brochure as new commissioners are appointed. Mr. Fleming stated that, in the past, DHRC meetings had begun with comments from the community, and very often there was no one present to comment. He advised that if comments from the general public were given before the meeting, members would not know what time to get there. Mr. Fleming indicated that he thought that recognizing anyone that has a comment for the Commission as the first order of business would be good enough. Mrs. Stein stated that it was suggested that the DHRC model the public comment period after City Council, where the public is allowed to comment prior to the meeting but not to comment on matters that City Council is planning to discuss. She noted that comments regarding agenda items could be taken during the DHRC meeting and that the Commission could not act on comments during the Open Forum segment. Mrs. Stein stated that it was strongly suggested that members set a designated period prior to the meeting, perhaps 10 or 15 minutes for public comment. She noted that the meeting must start at 6:00 p.m. because the meeting has a published agenda and only items on the agenda can be discussed during the meeting. Mrs. Stein indicated that talking about an item that is not on the agenda would not allow for the public to come and comment. Mrs. Herbert stated that if this was the case, a better agenda was needed than the current agenda because one (1) sentence indicating that there will be a report from someone does not tell what the person might say. She indicated that a member may be planning to say something about what the public has commented on. Mrs. Stein stated that she would discuss this with the Clerk’s Office. Mr. Henderson stated that he had been on the DHRC for quite few years and did not think that comments would be overflowing. Mr. Henderson advised that in all the years he had attended he could remember four (4) or five (5) comments and that he thought that if an Open Forum was included on the agenda, members could get through the meeting quickly. Mrs. Herbert stated that she was assuming that the whole idea was to get people to come in and comment on issues that they have, and Mr. Henderson agreed. Mrs. Herbert suggested having a couple of meetings per year that are devoted to the public coming in and telling members what they think and not having a working agenda. Mr. Henderson explained that this public comment period would be the agenda. Mrs. Herbert indicated that public comment would be on the agenda instead of committee reports, and this would be an opportunity for people to come in. She indicated that they may not come, and it would take a while with communication and activity to make people in the community aware that the DHRC exists and it is okay to come and talk about issues that they are having. Mrs. Herbert explained that she was thinking of the DHRC having an Open Forum from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on a specific date and taking input from the public. Mr. Gaddis asked if this is the way the Committee of the Whole works. Responding, Mrs. Stein stated that the Committee of the Whole agenda states that public comment is welcomed on any item on the agenda, and the public is encouraged to come in. She noted that this is also stated on the DHRC

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 16, 2017 PAGE 3 agenda. Mrs. Stein explained that a problem would be created if someone comes in with items that are not part of the DHRC committee reports or anything on the agenda. Responding to Mr. Gaddis, Mr. Henderson stated having people come in from 6:00 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. and extending the meeting until 7:15 p.m. or however long it takes members to finish would be a possibility. He indicated that it would be his goal as Chair to make sure that members meet within an hour and that meetings go from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Mrs. Herbert asked if members could start out with a five-minute comment period since they normally do not have people. She stated that as people start to come, a little time could be added. Responding, Mr. Henderson stated that they would not want the Open Forum to go on indefinitely and suggested allowing 10 minutes and then starting the meeting, similar to what is done by City Council. He noted that two (2) or three (3) people could speak for three (3) minutes each. Responding to Mr. Fleming, Ms. Paige stated that the brochure will be in color. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend approval of the brochure as amended, seconded by Ms. Paige. Mr. Gaddis stated that members had not determined what they would do regarding public comments and asked if they wanted to allow public comments for the first 10 minutes of the meeting. Mr. Fleming stated that he thought this would be good idea. Ms. Paige suggested that members approve the brochure knowing that they have to make the necessary corrections. She indicated that they could then have discussion about when public comments should be and this would be included in the brochure. The motion to recommend approval of the brochure as amended (Attachment #2) was unanimously carried. Mr. Gaddis asked if public comments could be built into the agenda; for example, if the meeting could start at 6:00 p.m. and public comments could be between 6:00 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. Responding, Mrs. Stein stated that the meeting and public comment period should be two (2) separate events, so the public comment period could begin at 5:50 p.m. and the meeting at 6:00 p.m. She indicated that the times would be up to members to determine. Mr. Gaddis stated that his preference was that the meeting start at 6:00 p.m. and the first item on the agenda would be public comments. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Henderson stated that placing the public comment period on the meeting agenda would make it part of the meeting. Mr. Rocha noted that members could not include the public comment period in the meetings. Mr. Rocha stated that members could start public comments at 6:00 p.m. and start the meeting by either 6:10 p.m. or 6:15 p.m. Mr. Henderson indicated that the public comment period could also start at 5:50 p.m. and either approach would work. He advised that whatever members decide to do, it would be his objective to get everything done from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 16, 2017 PAGE 4 Mr. Fleming suggested starting with a 10-minute comment period and extend the meeting if necessary. Mrs. Herbert advised that she did not think members could do this, noting that the agenda states that adjournment is at 7:00 p.m. Mrs. Stein explained that this adjournment time was stated on the agenda at Mr. Henderson’s request. Mr. Fleming stated that he thought that even with an Open Forum and community input, 95% of the time the meetings would end by 7:00 p.m. Mr. Henderson advised that, based upon his long tenure with the DHRC, he did not foresee this being a problem and, if it was, members could change the format. Mr. Henderson suggested starting the Open Forum at 6:00 p.m. and if there is an absolute crush of people, the Open Forum could take place before the meeting time. He stated that he agreed with Mrs. Herbert that as the DHRC gets publicity out and gets established, the public comment period could potentially grow. Mr. Offredo asked what would happen if there were many people at a DHRC or a City Council meeting that want to discuss something that may be extremely relevant but there was not enough time to get it on the agenda and the Open Forum time runs out. He asked if the discussion would just end and the Council meeting start. Responding, Mrs. Stein explained that there had been occasions when the City Council Open Forum lasted 40 minutes rather than 30 minutes and the Council meeting started 10 minutes late; therefore, there would be the ability to do this if there is a special issue that a lot of people are concerned about. Mr. Henderson stated that if meetings go a little over 7:00 p.m., so be it; however, his objective was to be in and out within an hour. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend adoption of a 10-minute Open Forum beginning at 6:00 p.m. within the format of the designated hour, seconded by Mr. Gaddis, and unanimously carried. Mr. Henderson stated that henceforth the agenda would include an Open Forum from 6:00 p.m. until approximately 6:10 p.m. State Human Relations Commission Liaison Report (Herbert) Mrs. Herbert explained that Dr. Nancy Maihoff, Commissioner, State Human Relations Commission, had agreed to be the liaison from the State Human Relations Commission (SHRC) and noted that she and Dr. Maihoff had not yet had a chance to meet and may not do so until after the holidays. She stated that she and Dr. Maihoff would discuss developing an understanding between the DHRC and SHRC and put this into something that they can present. Mrs. Herbert advised that this would be an understanding that delineates the roles of the two (2) commissions and the solution of discrimination complaints, which fall within the jurisdiction of the SHRC. She stated, for instance, that the DHRC would need to know exactly what the SHRC covers and how one goes about making referrals. Mrs. Herbert stated her recollection that the DHRC had decided not to ask for subpoena power during the DHRC Workshop held on May 25, 2017, and Mr. Henderson stated that this was correct. Mrs. Herbert stated that, at the last SHRC meeting that she attended, as she was walking out the door she heard a woman indicate that she wanted her comments to be confidential, and Mrs. Herbert had wondered how comments would be confidential during an open meeting. She noted that Dr. Maihoff had explained to her that if the SHRC goes into executive session, the public has to leave, and the

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 16, 2017 PAGE 5 person can present their issue. Mrs. Herbert stated her understanding that this would occur before the meeting so that names and other things are not included in the minutes, which are published. Dr. Maihoff explained that they do not take minutes at the executive session. She advised that in their process they have an agenda, the meeting is opened, they have a roll call, and they then have a time for expressions from the community. Dr. Maihoff stated that this is when the individual that Mrs. Herbert mentioned brought her issue, which had to do with feelings of discrimination in one (1) of the State entities, and she wanted to name names, etc. Dr. Maihoff noted that, unfortunately, this person did not have the full opportunity because the SHRC had a full schedule, she agreed to come to the next meeting, and this was the conversation that Mrs. Herbert overheard. She stated that a new, joint human resources or human relations commission had been created that deals with discrimination within State entities, so this matter had been moved from the SHRC to this commission and she indicated that she thought this person had the opportunity to talk to them at that point. Dr. Maihoff advised that if this individual did come back, the SHRC would vote to go into executive session, the tape recorders would be stopped, the people from the State Division of Human Relations would have to leave, and the individual could give the names and situations that she wanted to keep confidential. She indicated that this is how this situation would normally take place using Robert's Rules of Order. Dr. Maihoff explained that she chairs the SHRC Community Response Committee, and they had mediated a situation at Cape Henlopen High School where the gay-straight community felt that they were being discriminated against by the administration. She noted that it looked like there were some issues that were stirring back up and that there are about four (4) people on the Commission trained to do mediation. Dr. Maihoff stated that the SHRC would certainly work with the DHRC if there were issues of mediation; for example, between a group of people and the Police Department. Dr. Maihoff advised that, personally, she is a volunteer at the Center for Community Justice at People's Place, and explained that they do court-mandated mediation for the Kent and Sussex County court systems. She noted that there is an equivalent in New Castle County that does basically the same thing. Dr. Maihoff stated that she is very well trained in mediation and offered her services. She indicated that they have resources and can work with the DHRC to assist in any way that they need help. Dr. Maihoff indicated that there may be times when the SHRC would need the DHRC’s assistance if there is an issue in the Dover area that they are trying to deal with, and the DHRC could lend its knowledge and strategies to the SHRC. She stated that she could see a very good working relationship and a possible sharing of talents, knowledge, and strategies. Mr. Offredo asked if members of the DHRC could go into executive session if a situation presented itself where they wanted to discuss something confidentially. Responding, Mrs. Stein stated that the Commission has the ability to recess into executive session if members consider an agenda item that evolves into something that qualifies for an executive session. She noted that this could not occur during the public comment period. Mr. Offredo asked if members could go into executive session if the public was commenting on an item not related to the agenda. In response, Mrs. Stein stated that this item would be scheduled on a subsequent meeting agenda.

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 16, 2017 PAGE 6 Mrs. Herbert stated that she would meet with Dr. Maihoff after the holiday and make sure that there is a clear plan so that she can advise members what is needed. Mr. Henderson stated that he was very excited about the resources Dr. Maihoff can provide for the DHRC. Mr. Henderson welcomed Mr. Rocha and stated that he would discuss with him which of the various committees would suit him. He indicated that he knew that Mr. Rocha is very actively involved in the community in Chester, noting that his reputation preceded him, both as a member of the military and of the community. Mr. Henderson advised members that the next meeting would be scheduled for January 18, 2018. Mr. Gaddis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Offredo and unanimously carried.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE The Economic Development Committee met on November 29, 2017 at 2:02 p.m. with Mayor Christiansen presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Hudson (Acting City Manager’s designee), Mr. Hugg, and Ms. Evans. Mr. Cole, Mr. Sheth, and Mr. Hammond were absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hare moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Ms. Evans and unanimously carried. Update - Starting a Small Business Incubator (Dr. Michael Casson - Delaware State University UCEDIT) During their Regular Meeting of June 12, 2017 City Council approved the Committee’s recommendations: 1) that there be a meeting held with the County to determine a path forward; and 2) entertaining the idea of participating in the Small Business Website Initiative. Dr. Michael Casson, Director, Delaware State University Center for Economic Development and Trade (UCEDIT) advised that he had been communicating and working with Mr. Jim Waddington, Kent County Economic Development Office. He informed members that Kent County has an enterprise center with dedicated space for small business incubators. Dr. Casson advised that Delaware State University, specifically the College of Business and UCEDIT, is working with Mr. Waddington to provide small business development course work. He explained that the University of Delaware Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has agreed to provide an intro to business development course. He stated that the business incubator would provide a comprehensive course selection, noting that many of the courses will be required for the tenants of the incubator itself. Dr. Casson noted that they were looking to bring to the table certification workshops and classes, such as small business accounting, small business marketing, and getting a business online, and also provide a graduate and/or undergraduate intern to help manage the office in this space for the patrons. He explained that DSU had floated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Mr. Waddington and his group to review, specifically as it pertains to the intern. Dr. Casson advised they were proposing to provide approximately 12 courses to the tenants there and also to the general public and had sent this to Mr. Waddington to review. He stated that they were looking to start servicing the facility in February 2018. Dr. Casson indicated that he thought this was a great pilot facility and, as it seen how it pans out and what works and does not work, this would be a great opportunity to expand this initiative. Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, asked if those who would be taking these courses would be well past the business plan stage. Responding, Dr. Casson advised that, as part of the process, a review board will determine which companies are in the best position to take advantage of the space, where clients are with a business plan, and things of that nature. He noted that they would be looking to see how they can extend participants’ capabilities and knowledge sets, specifically as they pertain to small business taxes, marketing, business expansion-type techniques, how to close deals, and other types of workshops. Responding to Mr. Dave Hugg, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development, Dr. Casson stated that it was written into the current by-laws that those who utilize the space have to register for the course work. He noted that the course work has to be defined. Mr. Hugg indicated that he thought this was critical, and Dr. Casson agreed, noting that the initiative is a great extension to Kent County

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 2 Open for Business, since it is open not only to tenants of the incubator but also to the general public. He stated that there would potentially be registration across the board, not only in the City of Dover and Kent County but further down. Mr. Hugg noted that one (1) of the things that had been heard in various meetings was that technical assistance in a variety of forms is one (1) of the most significant gaps for businesses that are looking to expand, and there is a need for ways to get assistance to them, whether tied to an incubator or in some other form. Dr. Casson indicated that this gap happens across the board in many areas and is always about coordination. He noted that DSU’s upper-level marketing course and MBA graduate marketing course are prime examples of how the University can leverage what it is doing and vice versa. Dr. Casson advised that the professor requires students to work with local or not-so-local businesses and support their marketing plan development. He stated that this is not currently coordinated, so with an incubator in Kent County and in the City of Dover, these efforts can be coordinated so they can target businesses here and create a greater impact for the local economy. Dr. Casson advised that this would not only further the plan to facilitate the workshops but also allow DSU’s MBA and upper-level students and faculty to support participants in the actual implementation of marketing plans, business tax, and accounting practices. Ms. Evans expressed her understanding that the incubator would be looking at businesses that are already established. She noted that feedback had been heard that people do not even know how to get to that step and do not know what plans are available to help them within the City, County, and the State, such as what kind of rebates they can get and how to go about this. Ms. Evans asked if the incubator would provide services at this level or past it. In response, Dr. Casson stated that the University of Delaware (UD) is offering intro business development course work for those businesses who do not have experience pertaining to what networks to touch and the processes and steps involved in starting a business through the SBCD, which is based at UD. He stated that he was uncertain about the frequency of this course. Ms. Evans asked if UD has the same type of incubator or if they refer people to the program Dr. Casson was describing. She asked if someone who starts at the intro level at UD can move on at UD and why they would move to this program. Responding, Dr. Casson explained that representatives from UD are coming to Dover to provide the intro business development course for stakeholders here, and this is the only course that UD provides at the incubator at Kent County Levy Court. He noted that the SBDC has representatives for Kent and Sussex Counties and Ms. Danita Thomas will come as the representative. Dr. Casson stated that DSU would take the next step and go deeper into specific areas of small business development. Mr. Hugg asked if Kent County’s Open for Business process was the primary intake mechanism for the incubator’s clients. Responding, Dr. Casson advised that he thought this process was a great springboard to attract clients; however, he felt that they would have to market the incubator’s additional services. He noted that business services there would be tied not only to the incubator but also to the general public, which would potentially gain it more steam.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 3 Mr. Herbert Konowitz, Vice Chair, Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, stated that he had worked with Mr. Waddington a long time ago on this. Mr. Konowitz noted that he had also been involved with the SCORE Association for going on 12 years and had received an email this morning from Ms. Joan Cote, Executive Director, Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), who wanted to know how SCORE can help the City. Mr. Konowitz advised that this could all be tied together, noting that he could lead his clients to the incubator. Dr. Casson stated that some of the internal conversations at the College of Business as well as those with Mr. Waddington, had involved a team teaching approach and working with the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC). He explained, for example, that a small business tax course could include experts in housing who could team teach with a local business owner or expert in the area to provide more applied knowledge and insight to clients. Mr. Konowitz noted that Mr. Frank DeSantis, a SCORE counselor who ran the incubator for the New Castle Chamber of Commerce for approximately four (4) or five (5) years, had recently retired and was available. Dr. Casson stated that he had spoken to Mr. DeSantis. Mr. Konowitz advised that there are some talented people who would be involved. Mr. Hudson indicated that he had thought that the incubator would be the next step for those who had already passed through a litmus test and had a business plan; however, it appeared that it would start from the very beginning and was for anyone who wanted to go into business for themselves. Dr. Casson stated that entrepreneurs would be vetted for their viability or ability to move into the incubator space, noting that there is a threshold to receive consideration for this. He explained that one (1) potential client had spoken to him but was not quite ready, in the opinion of the counselor he worked with, to move into the space, possibly because of revenues or an inadequate business plan. Dr. Casson advised that there is a track for those who are being considered for the amenity of having space and also a track for individuals who are just starting their journey and will begin with the SBDC course offered by UD. Dr. Casson indicated that the courses offered by DSU would be more in line with the tenets of the incubator or could be for any other entrepreneur who may deem them fruitful, regardless of where they are in the process. He stated that someone coming in may not have started their business plan and may want to sit for a business tax course, and there would not necessarily be a prerequisite since they had not yet discussed prerequisite skills for sitting for a business tax course or workshop being offered. Responding to Mr. Hudson, Dr. Casson advised that the courses would be free. Mr. Hare asked if people wanting to start a business would get a space in the incubator. Responding, Dr. Casson stated that space would be provided to those who have some traction in their current business. He explained that the space would allow these individuals to have some legitimacy as a business, noting that it would provide a location to work from, to bring clients that they are trying to court, and to use as a conference area. Dr. Casson noted that the incubator would have wi-fi and xerox machines.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 4 Mr. Hare stated his understanding that the incubator would be for those who have a business with no storefront and need an office and a place to set up shop. In response, Dr. Casson noted that they would have access to services and business education. Responding to Mr. Hare, Dr. Casson stated that DSU no longer had the Minority and Small Business Entrepreneurial Course (MSBEC) that Mr. Hare had previously taught in. Mr. Hare explained that participants in this program were taught how to write a business plan, start a business, and everything they needed to start a business. He indicated that it did not include having 10 businesses in the same area. Dr. Casson explained, for example, that two (2) weeks ago he had a conversation with a friend who does taxes for small businesses and has a client with a janitorial service in Dover. He indicated that the cheapest office space this gentleman was able to find was approximately $400, not including phone, internet, wi-fi, etc. Dr. Casson informed him of the incubator, and he saw this as a viable possibility since he could not continue to work out of his home because it was not efficient. He noted that this businessman’s accountant was asking why he should move into another facility; however, it was a question of the viability and legitimacy of the company. Dr. Casson stated that it is hard to pass up the incubator’s amenities that are offered at a discounted rate, such as space for as low as $75 per month, $10 for a business’s own phone line inclusive of wi-fi, and access to the conference, training, and break rooms. Mr. Konowitz stated that this is a real bargain. Responding to Mr. Hudson, Dr. Casson stated that clients could receive their mail there as well. Ms. Evans noted that a class on how to start a business was being offered every month; therefore, they are starting at the very entry level. Ms. Evans asked what Dr. Casson wanted from the Committee and if he just wanted to make sure that members were aware and would push people toward the platform. Responding, Dr. Casson explained that he initially engaged the Committee when DSU was looking at an incubator for the City, potentially downtown. He advised that, at that point, there had been conversation around what the County was doing and potentially leveraging that partnership and the traction that they already had. Dr. Casson noted that it was agreed that he would move forward in speaking further with Mr. Waddington about where Kent County was in the process and potentially partnering. He indicated that he had come back to report to members where they were in the process. Mr. Konowitz noted that it would be very important to get people in initially to get the program moving because they do not have anyone yet. Dr. Casson stated, in regard to the cost, that the University Center is funded through U. S. Commerce and the funding to pay the instructors will come through the University. Ms. Evans thanked Dr. Casson for his support. Responding to Mr. Hudson regarding the maximum number of people the incubator could hold, Dr. Casson noted that the training area was large. Ms. Evans stated her understanding that the number would depend on how much space each person is taking, noting that spaces are $75 up to $225. Dr. Casson indicated that the number would be determined by the configuration and how many $75 spaces and how many $225 spaces are taken, since there are cubicles.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 5 Mr. Konowitz noted that the County was anxious to get people in this space, which had been vacant for quite a while, and this is why they were moving forward. Ms. Evans noted that the space had been vacant since March of 2016 when part of County’s recreation center moved to New Burton Road. Mayor Christiansen asked Dr. Casson to keep members informed. Business Incentives for Hiring the Homeless (Herb Konowitz) Mr. Herbert Konowitz, Vice Chair, Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH), provided a handout of a Diagram of the Adapted 8 level Hierarchy of Needs based on Maslow’s theory (Attachment #1). He explained that the diagram reflected all the things involved in getting someone’s act together if they are homeless. Mr. Konowitz advised that people who are homeless have to start at the bottom of the hierarchy and work upwards. He also provided an advertisement for DIMH (Attachment #2), noting that this advertisement had been run for the last two (2) days in the Delaware States News and explained everything that DIMH is presently doing. Mr. Konowitz indicated that the big problems in hiring the homeless are their baggage and lack of education. He noted that DIMH has a number of people that do not even have their GED, which has to be addressed so that they can be hired, and some of these men cannot even write their own names. Mr. Konowitz advised that DIMH had started an organization with eight (8) men whose job was to go around town picking up weeds that were generated from a lot of rain, and this was done at the request of Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager. Mr. Konowitz explained that it was worked out that DIMH would put these individuals on the payroll on the basis of $10 per hour without taxes, everything was legitimate, and the City paid the shelter. He indicated that everyone was satisfied with this approach; however, the City ran out of funds because the project was not budgeted. Mr. Konowitz explained that, if this type of work was to be done by DIMH in the future, it would have to be done by contract and be a permanent situation. He indicated that they had previously run into some serious problems because his men were ready to go to work and the individual who was in charge for the City had canceled the day’s work because he had meetings. Mr. Konowitz explained that his people are interested in going to work and working as close as possible to a 40-hour week. He noted that this could be a tremendous boon to the City because DIMH would pay $10 per hour and take care of all the taxes, etc. and DIMH might be able to fill the left when Mr. William Cooper, former Superintendent of the Grounds Department, left the City. Mr. Konowitz stated that he has a lot of people who really want to go to work. He advised that 60% of their men are coming out of prison for a myriad of reasons and the shelter’s recidivism rate is less than 5%, whereas the State’s rate is over 70%. Mr. Konowitz explained that DIMH works with these men and turns them around, noting that they are ready to go to work and want to get their feet on the ground. He indicated that DIMH can offer workshops given by SCORE as an incentive. He noted that there are three (3) primary workshops that would probably be tied in with the Kent County education program, explaining that these workshops include start-up and basic concepts for those who want to be entrepreneurs as well as business idea assessment. Mr. Konowitz stated that individuals can sign up for the workshops online and must pay; however, there will be no charge if they go through him and his two (2) counselors. He noted that they could put these men in a workshop situation and from there possibly get them involved with the Kent County program.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 6 Mr. Konowitz informed members that a number of years ago, he and Mr. Eddie Perez, former City of Dover Downtown Coordinator, put together a program of workshops at City Hall, Mr. Perez contacted the people in the downtown area, and on the first night two (2) people came. Mr. Konowitz advised that there is a problem getting people into such programs and those who say they are going to come do not show up. He stated that he did not know if people are interested; however, the men at the shelter are definitely interested in going to work. Mr. Hare stated that when you reach out to employers in town and find jobs for individuals, they do not show up, and when you go back to these employers, they refuse, stating that the individuals will not show up again. Mr. Konowitz advised that DIMH does not have that problem because the men are living under the shelter’s domain. He explained that if DIMH knows that their clients have jobs, they get them out of bed, and these individuals go to work. Ms. Evans stated that, looking at the newspaper, it seemed there were construction and hands-on jobs which sounded perfect for these men. She asked if there were transportation or other problems. Responding, Mr. Konowitz stated that transportation is a terrible thing. Mr. Hare advised that there had been jobs within walking distance of the shelter at Westside Car Wash. Mr. Konowitz indicated that he had two (2) men working there right now. Mr. Hare stated that some people had started working, but half of the time they did not show up. He explained that he had gotten a job for an individual at McDonald’s for $10 per hour, 50 hours per week, a free meal; however, this individual stated that he was not going to work for McDonald’s. Responding to Ms. Evans, Mr. Hare stated that he thought that benefits might have been offered by McDonald’s after a time. He indicated that there may be some very good individuals; however, there are some who do not want to work, and Mr. Konowitz stated that there is no question about that. Mr. Konowitz advised that DIMH’s procedure is to give men 30 days to prove that they really want to get a job, and those who sit around and do not want to are put out immediately. He indicated that DIMH helps those who are looking for a job to find one. Mr. Konowitz noted that the average stay in the shelter used to be 90 days but had been reduced to 52 days. He explained that clients who are established in a job hook up with someone else in the shelter and DIMH moves them into an apartment, and this approach was working. Ms. Evans asked what DIMH needed from the Committee. Responding, Mr. Konowitz indicated that he needed to possibly work with the City to employ some of these men doing menial jobs. Mr. Hudson noted that the City is not a social service agency and asked what Mr. Konowitz thought the City could do to help. Mr. Konowitz suggested there may be opportunities in the area that they had previously started on, such as picking up weeds, etc. He stated that, according to Mrs. Mitchell, there are a lot of jobs that could be done and she had mentioned painting curbs, which are in terrible shape now. Mr. Hudson stated that there are a lot of maintenance-type things that could be done; however, the problem he foresaw is that most of this is work is unionized. He indicated that, when talking about Public Works or code-related work, there are some people who would say that the City is taking away

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 7 union jobs and question why the City is doing this type of hiring instead of hiring another staff person. Mr. Konowitz stated that this was not the case with the weed situation, which was done as an outside contractor. Mayor Christiansen asked what the ramifications of hiring would be and if private contracting is a good model. Responding, Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, stated that the City’s workforce is 85% unionized, and if the DIMH men come on board in regular positions, the union would say that this is work that the union does. She stated her understanding that the gentlemen who were with the City during the summer months worked on a temporary, short-lived, contract basis. Mrs. Hawkins advised that when someone is with the City for only for a short term and the contract is done, it is easy to defend this to the union. She indicated that someone who is brought on board as a regular employee would have to go through the entire recruitment process. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Konowitz stated that the program he was presenting would be as an outside contractor. In response to Mrs. Hawkins, Mr. Konowitz indicated that the work could be for a defined period of time. He explained that the problem they had when they were previously involved was that it was not a defined period. Mr. Konowitz stated that the City wanted DIMH to do the job and cover the entire City, they got into the project, and everybody was satisfied; however, after about six (6) or seven (7) weeks, the program ran out of money. He advised that it was explained to him that the City had used money that was initially supposed to be used for landscaping. Responding to Mrs. Hawkins, Mr. Konowitz indicated that he was unsure if this was for doing the flowers or other landscaping. Ms. Evans indicated that it did not sound like this type of short-term work would be an option for DIMH men. She noted that they would not be put to work on a permanent basis, which would allow them to move on and get out on their own. Ms. Evans stated that it seemed more beneficial to build toward getting them placed and linked with the Delaware Transit Corporation (DART), if transportation is a problem. She noted that even if they were placed with the City in the spring due to the weeds that were growing again, this would only be for the short term. Mrs. Hawkins stated that the only benefit she could see would be that the men would be gaining experience, which always looks good on a resume. She noted that if the gentlemen are reporting to work and get a three-week experience, hopefully they would learn something from City crews and not just be pulling weeds. Mrs. Evans stated that this could be landscaping experience. Mrs. Hawkins indicated that this type of experience could show that someone was diligent, reported to work on a 100-degree day, showed effort, and came every day. Mr. Konowitz advised that if the work time frame was predetermined, whether for three (3) or five (5) weeks, participants would realize that this is the job, rather than being led to believe that it was going to be longer. Referring to the DIMH advertisement, Mr. Hudson noted that it stated that DIMH’s funding is very limited and they are looking for pledges of $1,000 annually. Responding to Mr. Hudson, Mr. Konowitz stated that DIMH needs $50,000 to sustain itself until the end of the year. He advised that DIMH receives $13,000 per year from the State and does not receive funding from the County on a regular basis. He noted that they had asked the County for funds.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 8 Ms. Evans advised that DIMH had been going along for years and asked if they had lost something. Responding, Mr. Konowitz indicated that they had lost a $300,000 federal grant for re-entry. He stated that DIMH had used the grant, knowing that it was going to be over at this period of time, and they cannot reapply for this grant once it is over. Mr. Konowitz advised that they had applied for approximately 22 grants that were starting to come in now; however, grants are few and far between. Mr. Hudson asked if it would be prudent for DIMH to establish its own business and employ these people if everything DIMH is trying to do has a labor flavor to it. He suggested using some of the funding to obtain a small bus or some vehicles. Mr. Konowitz indicated that this was not a problem and they could do this. Mr. Hudson advised that DIMH could be the subcontractor and, for example, cut grass for the school district or parks that the City cannot get to. He stated that a number of things could be done, noting that he had heard that landscapers sometimes have business that they cannot get to. Mr. Konowitz advised that DIMH is set up to work with landscapers and has a number of men who are trained in this field. He noted that the men are independent contractors who are paid directly, and DIMH does not enter into this, except to make the contact and make sure that the men go to work. Mr. Hudson asked if it would be the responsibility of DIMH to help these individuals obtain their paperwork for W2s, etc. Responding, Mr. Konowitz stated that most people pay these individuals under the table, which he was trying to get away from. Ms. Evans stated that DIMH could contract with companies that would pay DIMH, who would in turn pay the individuals. Mr. Konowitz indicated that they had not done this. Mayor Christiansen asked whether there is a maximum time period for which the City could have an independent contractor once they sign a contract. Responding, Mrs. Hawkins stated that there are several definitions in the labor agreement that allow the City to contract out for an independent contractor, such as for efficiency and economics. She explained that these individuals would not be paid by the City of Dover. Mrs. Hawkins indicated that she envisioned using same type of agreement that they had previously, stating her belief that the men were paid $10 per hour and the City was charged $15 per hour. Mr. Konowitz stated that the rate was $14 per hour. Mrs. Hawkins noted that the City currently has mowing contractors. Mayor Christiansen asked if this was doable and if there are parameters in place for the sake of the City as well as the independent contractors. Responding, Mrs. Hawkins indicated that she was not the expert that could speak to this because the positions being discussed fall under Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer. Mr. Konowitz noted that he had worked with Mrs. Duca. Mrs. Hawkins noted that comments had been made that a supervisor was not available since and that maintenance went downhill since Mr. Cooper left, and she stated that those comments may need to be defended first by Mrs. Duca. She stated that Mrs. Duca should be involved in the conversation as to the work that can be done so that when the supervisor is not available, those who are hired as contractors know what their duty is for the day. Mr. Hawkins advised that typically contractors bring their own tools, so they would not be coming to the City’s shop in the morning to get what they need to do their duties. Mrs. Hawkins explained that the City does not want to get into IRS regulations by controlling what contractors are doing, and if the City starts controlling what they are doing, they would then be employees.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 9 Mr. Hudson advised that he had discussed with Mrs. Mitchell and Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director and Director of Parks and Recreation, that it is difficult for the Public Works Department to maintain parks so that they look pristine rather than unkempt, especially when staff is low. He stated that there had been past discussion regarding whether a separate group, not necessarily under Public Works, should be charged with maintaining the parks. Mr. Konowitz noted that Council President Slavin and Ms. Shelly Cecchett had involved him in something along those lines regarding a property on Route 13 and Martin Luther King Boulevard in front of the tire company. Mayor Christiansen advised that this was part of the Route 13 beautification. Mr. Konowitz stated noted that the contract was going to be up at the end of October and the idea was for him to take over the project. He explained that they had been talking about putting in water for sprinklers, lights, etc., there was a meeting with Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and nothing happened. Responding to Ms. Evans, Mayor Christiansen stated that the Greater Kent Committee owns this property. Mr. Hare noted that DIMH has an executive director, house manager, two (2) case managers, and evening and night supervisors. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Konowitz advised that DIMH has seven (7) paid employees and everyone else is a volunteer. He stated that their total operating expenses are $300,000 per year, approximately half of which is payroll. Mayor Christiansen thanked Mr. Konowitz for the presentation and suggested that he sit down with Mrs. Duca and Mrs. Mitchell and review the previous work that was done and what the needs might be for budget purposes in the spring. Mr. Hudson stated that he appreciated what DIMH was trying to do and suggested that they become their own business as part of their program. He advised that this is not something that would happen overnight, but if they have their own equipment, become a contractor, and lend themselves out to do business, this could be a win-win for everybody. Mr. Hudson advised that DIMH would be paid and nothing would really be coming out of the City, and he noted that a lot of work is needed. Mr. Konowitz asked what the possibility was of bidding on a City contract. Responding, Mr. Hudson stated that this would be a public bid. He indicated that in many cases there is a list of people who have asked to be notified and DIMH would be competing with everybody else. Mr. Konowitz advised that DIMH would be interested in this. Mr. Hudson stated that they would need equipment such as safety gear, goggles, gloves, machinery, etc., as well as insurance in case someone gets hurt. Mr. Konowitz stated that DIMH has $3,000,000 worth of liability insurance. Mr. Hudson stated that he thought this approach would work and that there may be more people who want to help DIMH buy equipment as opposed to giving them money to pay individuals. Responding to Mrs. Hawkins, Mr. Konowitz stated that DIMH deals only with gentlemen. He explained that approximately 60% of them are coming out of prison and the other 40% are from broken marriages, etc. Mrs. Hawkins asked if most of these gentlemen were considered unskilled or if some of them had been, for example, electricians. In response, Mr. Konowitz stated that they do not have a lot of skilled men; however, they had obtained a job for one (1) of their clients, who is certified in HVAC, at Allen

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 29, 2017 PAGE 10 Harim in Harbeson starting at $28 an hour. He noted that another individual works at a portable shed business in Milford, noting that DIMH has some very talented people. Mrs. Hawkins stated that alcohol had ruined the life of a gentleman who worked for the City years ago, ended up in prison with DUI’s, and then went to DIMH. She explained that he was sorry for what he had done in life and was now successful. Mrs. Hawkins noted that another current City employee had been incarcerated but was now one (1) of the City’s hardest workers. Mr. Konowitz stated that DIMH has people living in their transition house. He advised that a number of their clients are sex offenders, noting that sex offenders are on tiers one (1) through five (5). Mr. Konowitz cited the example of one (1) such individual who was placed in as a custodian and DIMH was told that he was one of the best workers that the secretary at his place of employment had ever seen had ever seen. He noted that these are second chances for many of these people. Mr. Konowitz advised that they also have many people with alcohol problems and drug problems and there is no place in the area to send them. Mrs. Evans stated that many of those who are incarcerated do not come out of prison clean. Mr. Konowitz advised that he has 14 people living in three (3) transition houses and would stake his life on these individuals. Responding to Ms. Hawkins, Mr. Konowitz explained that those who have proven themselves over the 52 days that they spent in the shelter can move into the transition house if there is a space available. He noted that they must pay rent of $500 to $600 per month, supply their own food, and are on their own. Mr. Konowitz stated that some are still on probation. He advised that one (1) resident who is close to 60 years old had been with them for nine (9) years and was very happy because DIMH had just gotten him off probation. Mayor Christiansen stated that he encouraged Mr. Konowitz to talk to Mrs. Mitchell and the Public Works Department regarding the scope the City is working with and the equipment. Mayor Christiansen stated that he had told Mr. Konowitz that he would give him a weedeater and a blower and would follow through on this. Mr. Hudson moved for adjournment, seconded by Ms. Evans and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 2:51 p.m. Robin R.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on December 12, 2017 at 6:04 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Hare was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 6:22 p.m.). Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration), and Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement). Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration) was absent. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Slavin presiding in the absence of Mr. Hare. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Proposed Food Truck Pilot Program Mr. Kirby Hudson, Assistant City Manager, advised that the City Manager’s Office was seeking the support of Council to establish a 30 business day Pilot Mobile Food Truck Program for the City of Dover. He explained that after the trial, if the Food Truck Program is successful, the objective would be to make this program permanent. Mr. Hudson stated that, over the past two (2) years, the City of Dover has seen the development of food truck services operating out of various locations on Route 13 and during special events within the downtown central business district. He indicated that, currently, there is no City Code or operational oversight allowing a permanent framework by which food trucks can park on City streets and sell to Dover’s population and, consequently, food trucks are not permitted to operate on the public right-of-way on a regular basis. Mr. Hudson noted that, given the large density of employees and citizens visiting City Hall, the Dover Public Library, the Post Office, and the various State office buildings in the general area of Loockerman Street, these food truck vendors would like to be able to gain access to these potential customers. Mr. Hudson explained that the Pilot Mobile Food Truck Program would commence on Monday, January 15, 2018 and end on Friday, February 23, 2018, noting that the plan is to have (10) ten food trucks located on Loockerman Street, fronting the Dover Public Library and City Hall area. He indicated that the City would allow food trucks to provide temporary Food Truck Service Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Mr. Hudson advised members that these food vendors will provide food service from pre-designated parking spaces only. Mr. Hudson stated that the City of Dover Police Department will ensure that signage and cones will be installed on a daily basis to inform drivers and the general public of reserved parking spot locations. Mr. Hudson advised that this pilot program would hopefully give rise to a future comprehensive Mobile Food Truck Program which would address the issues of safety, fees, revenue impact,

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 2 program management and oversight, licensing, site locations, and enforcement. He noted that the Mobile Food Truck Program is the culmination of research and conversations centered upon the current “Best Practices” of the City of Wilmington, with the sole goal of creating a positive Mobile Food Truck Program in the City of Dover. Staff recommended approval of a 30 business day Food Truck Pilot Program. Mr. Hudson introduced Mr. David Sophrin, Policy Analyst, Mayor’s Office, City of Wilmington. He informed members that he had multiple meetings with Mr. Sophrin because the food truck program in Wilmington had been a huge success that got people out of the office and engaged them. Mr. Hudson stated that he thought food trucks might be a perfect way to stimulate the area in Dover and would also be perfect for the public. Mr. Sophrin stated that, about two-and-a-half years ago, Delaware’s growing food truck community approached the City of Wilmington with a very well-researched idea to bring food trucks onto the public right-of-way in Wilmington. He advised that, prior to this, the law did not really outlaw food trucks but, as a practical matter, never even considered them since laws sometimes take a while to catch up to changes in business. Mr. Sophrin stated that Wilmington spent seven (7) or eight (8) months working with food truck operators and their representatives; business people and eateries on Market Street, especially downtown; City Council; and the Mayor to research the best practices in other cities and come up with a concept that would work for Wilmington. He indicated that the first thing that they realized was that there was no single best practice. Mr. Sophrin explained that some cities have an absolute laissez-faire approach, allowing trucks to park wherever they want if they do not break any traffic laws, and some cities are very restrictive. He noted that some have outright bans on food trucks or restrict them to very specific parking spots. Mr. Sophrin advised that Wilmington eventually came up with a compromise that worked for City Council and the representatives. He stated that the food trucks wanted access to the downtown, lunchtime, pedestrian trade. Mr. Sophrin indicated that, in his opinion, it is a waste of time to try to bring food trucks to an area where they have no interest. He stated that the food truck vendors were interested in being in the downtown area; therefore, Wilmington took that general position and identified four (4) or five (5) spots in the immediate downtown area to give them access to what they were looking for. Mr. Sophrin advised that the vendors would pay a set fee, equivalent to the amount that would be paid by putting quarters into a parking meter all day, and would be given access to the public right-of-way. He stated that they started with four (4) or five (5) locations and told City Council that they were creating a pilot program and would keep track of what worked and what did not. He stated that the Food Truck Association was very helpful, flexible, and practical throughout the process. Mr. Sophrin indicated that the Association understood that, while the City of Wilmington wanted food trucks there and was very excited about it, putting trucks right in front of a restaurant would be unnecessary and maybe antagonistic, so wonderful middle ground was found that worked out well. Mr. Sophrin stated that Wilmington created a licensing system. He noted that there was no charge for a license, but applicants had to provide documents that they were already supposed to have, such as a State business license, a health inspection, a fire inspection, and insurance. Mr. Sophrin

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 3 explained that if everything was in working order, the license would be issued and the applicant would be free to sign up. He advised that Wilmington uses the website of a nationwide company that allows applicants to sign up and reserve spots online. Mr. Sophrin stated that the food truck vendors would not be calling City staff and there would be no playing phone tag; they would receive their licenses for one (1) year, reserve the spots, and pay the daily fee. Mr. Sophrin stated that a fair amount of interaction was required with the departments that were involved, but there was a good deal of enthusiasm. He noted that a handful of Council members and some restaurateurs were reasonably concerned about the impact on existing restaurants; however, it was believed that they had not maxed out the number of people who could come outside in downtown Wilmington. He advised that plenty of people do not come outside for lunch and there was a desire to increase that population. Mr. Sophrin indicated that for the last year and a half there had been a very successful show of people, not just on Market Street but also in Rodney Square, and the food trucks, smells, sounds, and music had provided an atmosphere of positivity. He stated that this had been a place-making undertaking which had been very effective. Mr. Sudler asked what the concerns were from existing restaurants downtown and the pros and cons. In response, Mr. Sophrin stated that the majority of those who came out were in favor of food trucks, although two (2) or three (3) were concerned that the trucks could take business away. He explained that a fair amount of research had been done on this topic and the City of Wilmington gently pushed back on the idea that this was a zero sum game and that any additional eatery that appears would mean less consumers for existing restaurants. Mr. Sophrin reiterated that there are a large number of people in Wilmington who do not come out of their buildings for lunch, and it was believed that getting them outside, especially those who had worked there for 10 or 20 years, would allow them to see other existing restaurants and the increased exposure would be good for all. He noted that, after two (2) years, the restaurants that raised these reasonable concerns were still in business. Mr. Sophrin indicated that, to his knowledge, the food trucks had not shut any other businesses down but had brought very large numbers of people out of the buildings. He explained that it is more than just an eating experience as there is music, and a very positive atmosphere is created out of what can be neutral or even negative space in a city. Responding to Mr. Polce, Mr. Sophrin stated that the legislation for Wilmington’s food truck program was from the fall of 2015 and there was a one-year pilot program with a sunset provision. He advised that the sponsor of the legislation revisited it at the end of the year and removed the sunset provision, making it effectively permanent. Mr. Sophrin informed members that the same sponsor has some interest in exploring whether food trucks can go to other parts of Wilmington as well; however, the physical spots where they had put signs were currently just downtown. In response to Mr. Polce, Mr. Sophrin indicated that Wilmington has quantitative metrics regarding the program, noting that they use a for-profit vendor that created a business model. He stated that the food trucks had suggested a vendor called LotMom and parties can sign up once and then reserve spots. Mr. Sophrin noted that more cities are looking to bring food trucks in but do not want to get involved in the day-to-day scheduling or field dozens of phone calls with food trucks that may be vying over one spot or another. Mr. Sophrin advised that the City, district, or vendor can put forth any restrictions they want, such as only allowing trucks to pick a spot once per week, not allowing

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 4 them to pick two (2) days in a row, or not allowing them to reserve more than three (3) days. He indicated that the vendor can easily pump out metrics that will indicate which spots have worked and those in which there is no interest, noting that Wilmington had pulled spots off the street in reaction to those metrics. Mr. Anderson asked if locations close to the industrial areas may be opened to food trucks after the pilot program. He noted that factory shift workers, such as those at Edgewell or General Foods, have a greater challenge in getting lunch. Responding, Mr. Hudson advised that the pilot program was designed to see how things would work. He stated his understanding that there are currently food trucks at the Silver Lake complex and by the courthouse. Mr. Hudson stated the desire to concentrate on the proposed area but anticipated that the program could end up being much larger. Mr. Cole asked if there is a concerted effort to get the information out to specific buildings, noting that there are 300 or 400 people in some of the buildings who never leave. He stated that he was supportive of the proposal but asked if January 15, 2018 to February 15, 2018 was the best time for the 30-day trial. In response, Mr. Hudson stated that he had not felt comfortable advertising the program until he knew that Council would allow it to happen. He explained that he lives in Wilmington and their program is very successful. Mr. Hudson indicated that he sees people daily at food trucks, even outside Wilmington city limits going toward New Castle, regardless of snow or rain, noting that people have to eat regardless of the weather. Mr. Hudson advised that, in talking with food truck operators, business may taper off a bit but many have large followings, and he did not anticipate weather being a problem. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Hudson stated that he had not communicated the City’s interest in the food truck pilot program to the owners of existing restaurants in the downtown area that may be impacted. Mr. Slavin advised that it would be very important to do this because there will likely be a negative reaction when they hear about it for the first time when reading the newspaper. He also noted that Mr. Hudson was proposing to start the program on Martin Luther King Day, which is a State holiday, and suggested adjusting that date. Mr. Slavin asked that Mr. Hudson reach out to the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) to see if they are doing a First Friday event in February and suggested extending the time to include the hours around that First Friday event. He noted that food truck vendors are typically brought in for First Friday and suggested that Mr. Hudson work with the DDP. Mr. Sudler stated, in view of the concerns regarding Martin Luther King Day as well as getting information out to existing restaurants and receiving feedback from them, that he would like to see the program approved for 90 days, rather than 30 days. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the Food Truck Pilot Program for 90 business days. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Mr. Lindell asked if the effective start date could be delayed and set once the downtown restaurants are notified. Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that members could ask Mr. Hudson to advise members of the start date once everyone is notified, and Mr. Hudson stated that he would do so. He indicated that he had not pulled the dates out of a hat but was waiting for the program to be approved at the

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 5 next Regular Council Meeting in January. Mr. Hudson explained that he had wanted to talk to restauranteurs; however, he had felt that it would be putting the cart before the horse to do so before obtaining approval. Proposed Ordinance #2017-16 - Amending Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 28 - Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone (TND), Subse ction 28.52 - Neighborhood Commercial District (Fuel Pumps) Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that there are at least two (2) ways that text amendments to the zoning ordinance come before Council. He explained that typically staff works with the Planning Commission and others to draft an ordinance and requests to bring it forward for introduction and referral; however, he noted that the Code also provides a mechanism whereby three (3) or more Council members can request that a matter be brought forward through sponsorship. Mr. Hugg advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2017-16 would change the text of the Code as it relates to neighborhood commercial districts within the Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone (TND). He stated that the TND was essentially the Eden Hill Farm and the properties that are south of North Street and east of the new connector road. Mr. Hugg noted that Proposed Ordinance #2017-16 was not a Planning staff recommendation but advised that there were representatives present from Pettinaro Company, the developer of this Neighborhood Commercial District. He asked if these representatives wanted to make any comments before he deferred to the members of Council who had asked for the Proposed Ordinance to be introduced. Mr. Hugg advised that if the Committee is agreeable tonight, the Proposed Ordinance would be presented to Council during their meeting of January 8, 2018, for a First Reading and referral to the Planning Commission. He noted that the rest of the process would follow as normally set forth. Mr. John Paradee, speaking on behalf of Pettinaro Company, advised that the actual name of the developer of the Eden Hill property was Eden Hill, LLC. He stated that it was his belief that this was the only property in Dover that is a TND District. Mr. Paradee reminded members that the ordinance was written for this property and was a novel concept at the time. He advised that he had been involved in helping to draft that ordinance and, as is typically the case as development occurs, things happen that are not necessarily contemplated at the time an ordinance is drafted. Mr. Paradee noted that this was such a case. He explained that the ordinance allows convenience retail stores as a use in the Neighborhood Commercial District and does not specifically prohibit gas pumps for convenience retail, but it does appear to prohibit gasoline filling stations for service establishments. Mr. Paradee stated that as his client has proceeded to develop this property, both with residential and commercial uses, they have been approached by a number of potential tenants who have questions about whether or not uses would be possible. Noting that one of the potential tenants was Wawa, he indicated that if the Proposed Ordinance is successful, the developer would be coming to the City with a site plan for a proposed Wawa. Mr. Paradee explained that Wawa approached them because they believed, and the developer agrees, that this would be an ideal location for a Wawa. He stated that the problem is, as members may know, that most of the convenience stores in the country simply will not build a new location

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 6 without gas pumps because their business model is gasoline, coffee, milk, bread, and cigarettes. Mr. Paradee noted that those are the things that people are looking for when they pull into a convenience store and without the gas pumps, it simply does not work. He reminded members that there is already a Royal Farms directly across the street from the site where they would propose to place the Wawa in this district. Mr. Paradee stated that they believe that the use would not be in conflict with the spirit of the TND but that it would be consistent and very much supported and appreciated by the other occupants in the District, both commercial and residential. He stated that they thought it would be very successful. Mr. Paradee advised members that when he had initially approached Mr. Hugg about this idea, Mr. Hugg had suggested that if the Code was amended to allow fuel pumps in the TND, it be made a conditional use. He explained that this would allow the Planning Commission and the Council to impose conditions designed to tailor the use for the particular circumstances of the property around it and ensure that, in fact, the spirit of the TND is observed. Mr. Paradee stated that he thought that this suggestion made a great deal of sense in this context because obviously, he and his clients want to make sure that the TND is something that everyone can be proud of and that nothing is placed in the district that would be inappropriate for any reason. He explained that the Proposed Ordinance would allow fuel pumps as a conditional use in the Neighborhood Commercial District. Mr. Polce stated that he was in support of the Proposed Ordinance since it is a straightforward matter of fact and something that is good. He noted that this would be an economic and job developer. Mr. Polce noted that although these would be jobs earning minimum wage, they would still be jobs. He advised that there was a safeguard with the conditional use language within the Ordinance and asked his colleagues to support it as written. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2017-16, seconde d by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Recommended Procedure for Requesting a Legal Opinion During their Regular Meeting of November 13, 2017, members of City Council approved the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation that the City Clerk’s Office develop a recommended procedure for requesting legal opinions. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, informed members that the recommended Procedure for Requesting a Legal Opinion sets out how appointees would go about obtaining a legal opinion or legal advice and is, for the most part, what is currently followed. She noted that she had reviewed the policy with Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager. Mrs. McDowell explained that requests from the department heads who report to Mrs. Mitchell would go through Mrs. Mitchell and then through Mrs. McDowell to make sure that there is not an existing opinion, and the legal information that Mrs. Mitchell receives back would come to the City Clerk’s Office for their permanent records. Mrs. McDowell advised that Mr. Lindell had suggested that Council members obtain the concurrence of three (3) members to request a legal opinion or the item would be placed on an agenda. She noted that this is similar to the current procedure used for agenda items that will take

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 7 a lot of staff time. Mrs. McDowell advised that Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, had advised that he had not worked with any municipalities that have a good policy in place. Staff recommended adoption of the Procedure for Requesting a Legal Opinion. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend adoption of the Procedure for Requesting a Legal Opinion, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Recommended Procedure for Requesting an Excused Absence During their Regular Meeting of November 13, 2017, members of City Council approved the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation that the City Clerk’s Office develop a procedure for Council members to request being excused for absences, with the level of specificity to be determined by the person requesting it, and that members’ requests be placed on the consent agenda for the next meeting so that an action of Council grants the excuse. Mr. Slavin explained that, although the Charter has provisions for unexcused absences, there is no procedure for notification of an excused absence. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, stated that she had researched codes across the country and found that many places have provisions for prior notification of excused absences. She indicated that there had previously been discussion regarding placing every absence on a consent agenda to be voted on; however, she thought that the recommended procedure would be a good time saver and cover the absences that typically occur. Mrs. McDowell explained that absences that do not fall within the seven (7) excused absences listed in the recommended procedure would be placed on a Council agenda. She advised that the procedure references the section of the Charter that states that a member’s seat is declared forfeited if they fail to attend three (3) meetings and are unexcused. Staff recommended adoption of the Procedure for Requesting an Excused Absence. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of the Procedure for Requesting an Excused Absence, seconded by Mr. Shevock. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. McDowell stated that the proposed procedure related to excused absences for those meetings that are recognized in the Charter as Regular Council Meetings. Mr. Slavin noted that those are the only meetings that members have to be concerned about. In response to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Slavin stated that absences for military personnel were spelled out in the procedure under item #6. The motion to recommend adoption of the Procedure for Requesting an Excused Absence was unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 8 Mr. Shevock moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:40 p.m. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconde d by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Administration Funding for Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) Plan Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, informed members that, in accordance with the applicable statutes and the regulations governing the Consolidated Plan regulations, the City is required to affirmatively further fair housing and required to submit an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) under the requirements of 24 CFR §5.150 through 5.180. She stated that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has adopted an assessment tool that encourages jurisdictions and public housing authorities to collaborate regionally and enables collaborators to select a lead entity and submit the AFH according to the entity’s schedule. Mrs. Harvey advised that an AFH is due to be submitted to HUD on or before October 5, 2019 and Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) has agreed to be the lead entity of the Consortium. She noted that, once the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been executed by all parties, a Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain a consultant to develop a regional AFH and develop a coordinated regional response to affirmatively further fair housing in each individual jurisdiction and across the region will be implemented. Mrs. Harvey advised that the estimated cost of the AFH is approximately $150,000 and DSHA has requested the City to provide financial support in the amount of $5,000 since the City is a small entitlement community. She noted that the funds for this project will come from CDBG program income received in October 2017 for $4,000 from the sales proceeds of a property that received settlement assistance from the First-time Homebuyers Program, and $1,000 will come from the remaining balance of the FY 16 Program Administration line item of $13,861. Mrs. Harvey stated that no funds will be needed from the FY 17 Program Administration line item. Staff recommended approval of the funding set-aside for Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH).

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 9 Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Harvey stated that the DSHA was requesting the City to provide financial support in the amount of $5,000 for an AFH plan. She explained that in 2011 the City was required to do an analysis of impediments, and HUD had now mandated that the City do an AFH as part of the City’s requirement to affirmatively further fair housing. Mrs. Harvey advised that part of the AFH would be for the City of Dover but there would be a State-wide assessment as well. Mr. Sudler asked if DSHA, as a federal and State program, had funding to cover the $5,000 cost. In response, Mrs. Harvey stated that the total cost of the plan would be $150,000 and DSHA would be picking up the bulk of the cost. Mr. Sudler asked if they had justified why they needed the City to pay $5,000. Responding, Mrs. Harvey explained that the City is required to implement this plan and if the City did so itself, it would have to pay $150,000. She noted that $5,000 would be cheap compared to $150,000. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of the funding set-aside for Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Semi-Annual Report Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, reviewed the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Semi-Annual Report. Mr. Anderson indicated that approximately $30,000 was allocated for CDBG last year and that $5,000 had just been allowed. He asked if the rest of the unspent funds were obligated or would be rolled over into the new year. Responding, Mrs. Harvey explained that these funds would roll over into the new year. Mr. Anderson asked if there were issues that prevented the funds from being spent as originally allocated. Responding, Mrs. Harvey stated that the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program was the only thing that rolled over from the previous year due to a lack of people in the City of Dover trying to find eligible properties to rehabilitate. She noted that these properties must be owner occupied and insurance requirements must also be met. Mr. Anderson asked if staff, in planning the new items, was taking into account the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness and how the Panel may affect how CDBG funds are allocated. In response, Mrs. Harvey explained that the City had used 15% of its funding to satisfy the needs of the homeless for the past 10 years. She noted that shelters are a public service activity, and only 15% of the City’s allocation can be provided to public service activities. Mr. Anderson stated that some of the Panel’s recommendations fall into other categories and asked if Mrs. Harvey had reviewed their recommendations. In response, Mrs. Harvey stated that, at this point, all CDBG funds had been obligated into 2019 because the grants are multi-year. She indicated that she would not be able to reallocate funding to any activities in addition to what the City currently has. Mr. Polce asked if Mrs. Harvey, as the administrator of the grants, provides technical assistance to any of the organizations with seeking out further grant opportunities. Responding, Mrs. Harvey explained that most of the grantees receive other grant funds and federal assistance from other entities. She stated that she does not provide technical assistance in providing other grants but just monitors sub-recipients.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 10 Mr. Polce asked if, looking forward into 2019, Mrs. Harvey, as the administrator, was working in conjunction with the Housing Alliance of Delaware or other State-wide integrated systems to look at some of the strategic points that the City was hoping to move the needle on. Responding, Mrs. Harvey stated that she is a member of the Homeless Planning Council and other activities are being sought for future funding. Mr. Polce asked if there is public comment regarding Mrs. Harvey’s engagement efforts regarding where dollars are being allocated. In response, Mrs. Harvey explained that there is a public hearing every five (5) years when the application process is opened up. She noted that the public is engaged and welcomed to comment and decide on the activities that they want to be funded. Mr. Anderson advised that the funds are vetted through the Parks, Recreation, and Community Engagement Committee, which sets the priorities in conjunction with Mrs. Harvey. He indicated that there is an entire process that is voted upon and approved by City Council. Mr. Anderson stated that the City has a new opportunity in regard to a grant finder program through its National League of Cities (NLC) membership. He explained that this relatively new complete software database of around 8,000 grants is free for current members. Mr. Anderson advised that he wanted Mrs. Harvey to be aware that this database exists and is available to the City. Mr. Sudler thanked Mrs. Harvey for her rigorous overview. Review of Active Recreation Area Plan (Request for Cash-in-Lieu) - Multiplex at 299 College Road (Planning Reference: S-17-28) Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that Article V, Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance sets forth a number of requirements for the dedication of open space recreation area and other public facilities for new developments. He noted that it also recognizes that there are situations where either the configuration of the land, some other restriction, or just the size of the property makes it difficult or impossible for actual land area to be set aside. Mr. Hugg indicated that this typically relates to properties of less than five (5) acres or less than 10 dwelling units, although there are some cases where that number may be slightly higher. Mr. Hugg stated that the property at 299 College Road, which is approximately 0.4 acres, is being developed as a multiplex with three (3) dwelling units, and there is no room available to provide any usable or active recreation. He noted that Article V, Section 10 allows for a payment in lieu of park land in that context and sets forth the procedure. Mr. Hugg stated that the applicant has to have a certified appraiser do an appraisal of the property and the fee is assessed at 10% of the appraised amount. He indicated that the property had been appraised by Masten Realty LLC for $40,000. Staff recommended acceptance of the $4,000 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Hugg stated that the Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 11 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that the money would go into the Parkland Reserve Fund and would be available for park development, park maintenance, or other park-related activities throughout the City. In response to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that there were nearby recreational activities for the occupants of the homes which would be convenient for them to access. Mr. Neil moved to recommend acceptance of the $4,000 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell. Mr. Slavin asked Mr. Hugg to keep an eye on this issue. He stated the desire to be flexible and use cash-in-lieu as a tool but not for people to be able to buy their way out of commitments that the City had worked very hard to plan for the community. Mr. Hugg stated that he agreed and reiterated that the provisions of Section 10 require an open space commitment above five (5) acres or a certain number of housing units. He noted that anything beyond that would be a significant deviance from the requirements and there would have to be an unusual hardship. Mr. Slavin noted that this could be a slippery slope and Mr. Sudler echoed this concern. The motion to recommend acceptance of the $4,000 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the re quirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as recommended by staff, was unanimously carried. Proposed Land Swap - City of Dover and Capitol Baptist Church/Mayfair Park - Application for Approval from National Parks Service During their Regular Meeting of January 9, 2017, members of City Council approved the Council Committee of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee’s recommendation to move ahead with the process using Option 1, that staff come back to the Committee with details at a later meeting, and that any expenses shall be incurred by the church. Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that, because federal funds were used to acquire the property, approval from the National Park Service (NPS) is required, and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)/Division of Parks and Recreation will file the application on behalf of the City. Federal regulations require that the City of Dover, as the applicant, provide an opportunity for public comment prior to submission of the application to the NPS. No action is required other than providing for public comment. The actual land swap and an associated matter relating to reconstruction of the playground will be brought back to Council for final approval once the NPS approval is received. Mr. Hugg, referring to the Action Form dated December 1, 2017, noted that the reference to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting of December 13, 2017 was incorrect and that the correct date was December 13, 2016. Mr. Hugg stated that the land swap process had been outlined through a number of discussions with the Capitol Baptist Church and DNREC. He reminded members that the land was acquired in

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 12 approximately 1988 with the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund but the playground was subsequently developed with State open space funds. Mr. Hugg advised that, before the City can complete the land swap, the federal government must be satisfied that the land being exchanged is of equal value and that the recreation needs will be equally met, if not enhanced. Mr. Hugg indicated that there had been a meeting with DNREC two (2) weeks ago and staff had gone through the NPS application process to get them to agree to the land swap. He stated that he believed that the City’s actions in December 2016 and January 2017 had probably satisfied the requirement for public comment; however, it was suggested that the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee be asked to open this matter to the public, not in the form of a hearing but just for public comment, to go along with the application. Mr. Hugg asked that public comment be invited on this matter and stated that staff would then move the application forward. Reverend Terry Moore, 637 Carol Street, Pastor, Capitol Baptist Church, explained that they had gone through the surrounding community and gotten a petition of many names of those who were okay with the land swap and the petition would be submitted with the application. He stated that, in talking to the people in the surrounding area, they were aware of no resistance to the land swap, other than perhaps one (1) person who had been at a previous meeting at City Hall. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Reverend Moore stated that they had not counted the number of petitioners; however, there were several pages of signatures from Dover residents and many in outlying areas. Mr. Anderson stated that he was glad the process was moving forward and thought the swap would be beneficial. He requested a copy of the petition for the record, stating that it would help the public comment process, and Reverend Moore indicated that he would provide it. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Reverend Moore provided the City Clerk’s Office with a copy of the petition in support of the proposed Mayfair Park land swap between the City of Dover and Capitol Baptist Church (Attachment #1).) Mr. Neil stated his belief that there had been an open hearing at the time this matter was proposed and that some people had objected; however, the majority approved of the land swap. He indicated that he was very comfortable with approval of the swap. Mr. Lewis attested to Mr. Neil’s comment and noted that he and Mr. Hare had been present at a community meeting where many of the concerns of the Mayfair community were addressed. He indicated that this issue was nothing new and he supported the swap. Mr. Hugg advised that the next step would be to submit the application to the NPS through DNREC before the end of the month. He explained that the current discussion was out of abundance of caution to avoid someone coming back and saying that there had not been a public meeting. Mr. Hugg indicated that the City had provided more than adequate opportunity and this would initiate the review, and hopefully the approval, of the land swap. He stated that in January there would be a need to approach Senator Bushweller, Representative Lynn, or someone else to introduce this matter into the General Assembly on behalf of the City to allow the exchange of the

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 13 playgrounds, because they were funded by State funds. He advised that when that is complete, the matter can be brought to a close. Mr. Hugg noted that the process was complicated because of the federal funds involved. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg indicated that the park is in Representative Bennett’s district and that this may be the right way to go. He reiterated that, on behalf of the City, there must be legislative action that states, “We concur with the exchange of property and the swapping of playgrounds.” He advised that this is a fairly simple legislative action that is required under State law. Status Report - Request for Dog Park and Passive Playground - Acorn Farms During their Regular Meeting of September 25, 2017, members of City Council approved the Council Committee of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee’s recommendation to accept the petition and letter submitted by Ms. Mahala Duffy requesting a dog park and passive playground in Acorn Farms, and referred the matter to Mr. David Hugg. Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that when this item was previously considered, he was also serving as the Parks and Recreation Director. Referring to his memorandum dated November 16, 2017, he provided an analysis of the proposal relating to a dog park at Acorn Farms. Mr. Hugg noted that dog parks had become of some interest in a variety of communities and there are only a couple that have fully developed dog parks, which typically have fencing to separate large and small dogs, facilities for water, benches, shade, etc., and are not just open grass areas where dogs can run. He advised that a little over an acre was set aside when Acorn Farms was developed in 1992 and noted that this property is a wedge-shaped parcel. Mr. Hugg stated that, after talking to a number of people in places like Milford and Newark and doing web research, the concern that became readily apparent was that parcels that are immediately surrounded by residential homes in close proximity tend not to be favorable to the long-term operation of a dog park. He indicated that the Acorn Farms property is on Acadia Street, has only one (1) access, and there are 14 homes that have immediate contact with the park. Mr. Hugg stated that he was not saying that dog parks are not a desirable activity to be looked at as part of recreation planning in the City, but the staff recommendation was that this is probably not the appropriate place to develop this kind of facility. He advised that there was a recent article in the Delaware State News about a dog park on city-owned land in Little Creek that is bigger than the Acorn Farms property and has a separate fenced area. Mr. Hugg informed members that it cost about $35,000 and a lot of free labor to develop the facility in Little Creek. He explained that the key difference is that it is not immediately adjacent to residential districts where the activities could constitute a nuisance. Staff recommended not proceeding with the dog park at Acorn Farms. Ms. Mahala Duffy, 104 Teak Court, stated that she is one of the residents that would be affected. She reminded members that people from at least 12 of the 14 properties around this area signed a petition that they agreed with having the dog park. Ms. Duffy advised that the idea for the dog park came from the community and the whole point was to bring the community together. She stated that

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 14 Acorn Farms is a small community, Lexington Glen had just been built behind them, and there are other communities adjacent to them. Ms. Duffy explained that the dog park was not to be like Tidbury Park but something for the people in surrounding communities to establish morale. She advised that this is an established community, they had swapped out the land in 1992, and she had been living there for 15 plus years. Ms. Duffy indicated that there are other opportunities to recoup some of the costs even if they utilize people in the surrounding areas as members to help create it. She stated that this would be a members-only type park where people would have to register and a fee would be assessed for having a dog registered to this area. Ms. Duffy advised that there had been mention of going to other places as far as Schutte Park and Dover Park, but those are large areas and this is a smaller, intimate area. She stated that she agreed with having a fenced-in area so that both smaller and larger dogs in the area would be able to play. Ms. Duffy explained that this community has a bunch of dogs and everybody was stating that they were tired of going to Tidbury or just walking around the neighborhood. She indicated that the community came together and agreed on the dog park, noting that there were 84 houses in the area, if she was not mistaken, and she had over 50 signatures from those in the community who agreed to have this park. Ms. Duffy noted that all dog parks are man-made, so of course everything is not already set and adjustments would have to be made in order to make this dog park successful. She advised that, in their community alone, they have medical personnel, City and State employees, retirees, veterans, teachers, and other respected members of the community. Ms. Duffy indicated that everybody who comes to the dog park and owners would be responsible for their dogs, just like anywhere else. She stated that this matter should be readdressed because she thought it was being looked at as if it were the Dover City Dog Park and noted that it is more or less a branching of the communities in the area. Ms. Duffy advised that Mapleton Square has a dog park that is only about 50 square feet. She explained that they were not looking to fill up the entire space with a dog park and it would be good for the community. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Duffy indicated that the community has a homeowners’ association. Mr. Lewis asked if the association would be looking to fund this dog park. In response, Ms. Duffy stated that she would have to discuss this with them, noting that she did not see that they could not work together to make something happen. Mr. Lewis stated that he thought dog parks are good ideas in communities. He noted that there are sanitation issues and asked what kind of liabilities would come with a dog park. Responding, Mr. Hugg advised that all dogs under the control of their owners are currently allowed in almost all City park areas. He noted that he could walk his dog at Schutte Park, except on the softball fields and a couple of other restricted areas, as long as the dog is either under his control or on a leash. Mr. Hugg indicated that whatever liability extends beyond that is the same as what exists in a dog park. He explained that someone currently could and may walk their dog on this particular property as long as it is properly controlled or leashed. Mr. Hugg stated that the liability from the City’s standpoint is really no different from what the City already permits. He advised that there would potentially be personal liability if his dog bit another dog, but this does not involve the City directly.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 15 Mr. Anderson stated that he liked the idea and that the County currently has some money in their park funds. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Duffy stated that she had not approached Kent County Levy Court Commissioner Allen Angel, who is in that area, or any other commissioners; however, she could look into this or get her HOA to do so. In response to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Duffy stated that she would be open to members tabling this matter until she can do background checks and bring back more information. Mr. Lindell stated that he applauded the effort of the community in trying to create a park and some positivity and to unify the general area. Referring to Mr. Sudler’s review of all the parks and their condition, Mr. Lindell expressed concern that members would be adding an additional responsibility when they had not addressed the core issues in the City’s current parks. Mr. Neil stated that he would like to see what Ms. Duffy is bringing to the table. He noted that there had been discussion about fencing, care within the park, and opening up the park for the use of other areas. Mr. Neil indicated that the community should be taking responsibility in this and relieving the pressure from the City. He noted that, as Mr. Lindell had stated, members are looking at everything that is going on and he was unsure if the City was ready for the dog park yet. Mr. Neil advised that he was not saying no but was saying not now. Mr. Slavin expressed his understanding that this piece of land is owned by the City primarily for open space and it would not be programmed into active recreation, noting that it has egress issues related to parking and other things. He advised that if a City dog park is created on the parcel, anyone from the City could park in this neighborhood, which would create problems. Mr. Slavin asked if the City could lease the land to the HOA for the purposes of their establishing a dog park and help them with the one-time fit-out costs. He suggested that they could operate it as an HOA function, and if they cease to do that it would just become open space again for the City. Mr. Hugg stated that he did not know of any limitation or restriction to Mr. Slavin’s suggestion. He advised that from time to time parcels or parts of parcels, at Schutte Park for example, had been leased to recreation organizations to run programs and did not think there was any reason that this could not happen. Mr. Hugg noted that he had not been able to find any restrictions in the subdivision or site plan accompanying this property, explaining that the documents only stated that this piece of property would be set aside for City park and recreation, and the other small wedges of property in the community would be the responsibility of the homeowners’ association. Mr. Slavin noted that the City would not be vacating its obligation regarding the property but would simply be partnering with the HOA. Mr. Hugg advised that appropriate safeguards regarding hours of operation and other potential concerns could be added if the City chose to do this. Mr. Slavin stated that if the property was leased as an HOA function, the HOA could limit who uses it without snagging City issues, and Mr. Hugg concurred. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought there had been some great suggestions and wanted everyone to have a chance to consider them.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 16 Mr. Anderson moved to lay this issue on the table, seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought that membership and seeing if the HOA would be willing to proceed as Mr. Slavin suggested were good ideas. He indicated that he thought membership would address issues of parking and people coming from other areas and make the area more private. The motion to lay this issue on the table was unanimously carried. Discussion of the Definition and Permissibility of Rooming Houses/Boarding Houses in the Zoning Ordinance Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that Mr. Sudler had requested a discussion on the issues of rooming houses and storage of personal items related to the homeless. He noted that he chairs one of the working committees of the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness and was looking at these issues from the standpoint of how to provide things that could be done quickly and would make the lives of the homeless much more pleasant. Mr. Hugg indicated that, a number of years ago, the Zoning Ordinance in the City Code had provisions for rooming houses within the definition of all of the residential zoning districts. He stated that he was informed that most of those provisions were deleted or extracted from the Zoning Ordinance as a result of issues that the City was having with student housing. Mr. Hugg explained that the current language allows rooming houses in the RM-1 and RM-2 zoning districts. He advised that there is not a specific definition of a rooming house and the language suggests that it is a place where up to five (5) people have a room. Mr. Hugg stated that this is interesting because the definition of family in the Zoning Ordinance is five (5) unrelated people living together in a single-family dwelling and he was unsure of the distinction between this and the definition of rooming house. He indicated that if they did not want to call a situation a rooming house, a group of people living in an RM-1 or RM-2 district could call themselves a family of five (5) and essentially operate as if they were a rooming house. Mr. Hugg stated that the Zoning Ordinance states that in the RM-1 zone “no building or premises shall be used, and no building or part of a building shall be erected, which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for any purposes, except the following: (a) Any use permitted in one-family residence zones; (b) One-family lot-line dwellings, not to exceed one such dwelling per lot; (c) Duplex dwellings; (d) Multiplex dwellings; (e) Townhouses; (f) Roominghouses accommodating not more than five roomers.” He indicated that the uses for the RM-2 zone are the same but include garden apartments. Mr. Hugg stated that he had looked at a couple of other zoning ordinances in other communities and did not find anything that was on point. He indicated that Newark is very complicated because of all of the student and fraternity housing, etc., that make it much more cumbersome. Mr. Hugg advised that the National Fire Prevention Code states that a rooming house “is a building or portion thereof that does not qualify as a one- or two-family dwelling but that provides sleeping accommodations for a total of 16 or fewer people on a transient or permanent basis without personal care services, with or without meals, but without separate cooking facilities for individual occupants.” He noted that the term “rooming house” is often used interchangeably with the term “boarding house” and with the term “SRO” or “single room occupancy.” Mr. Hugg advised that

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 17 SRO’s are very common in larger urban areas and are typically old hotels, apartment buildings, or things of that nature where a large number of people rent a room often on a weekly basis. He explained that they share common bathrooms and typically do not have any kind of cooking facilities available to them. Mr. Hugg indicated that the only distinction that he was able to find is that, where the term boarding house appears in zoning ordinances as compared to rooming house, a boarding house typically provides some kind of meals or communal kitchen. He stated that rent for rooming houses is paid either daily or weekly and they are very much transient housing. Mr. Hugg noted that the only distinction he found for boarding houses is that they typically have some kind of management, such as a resident manager, or one of the residents serving as the “house mother” or “house father,” which was not typically the case in the rooming houses he had looked at. Mr. Hugg stated that 100 years ago the rooming house was where young singles, people with limited incomes, and immigrants lived. He advised that a century ago a housing type called a rooming house or boarding house was a sustainable, ordinary part of most communities, particularly larger communities. Mr. Hugg noted that his grandmother lived in a rooming house when she went to what became Goldey-Beacom College 100 years ago, and this was not an unusual kind of housing but is just not prevalent today. He stated that he suspected that the question had arisen in regard to whether the rooming house or boarding house notion is an option for addressing the current homeless situation. Mr. Hugg explained that the current ordinance does not help a lot because it has the same “five (5) or less” provision in it, and he had not found a good example anywhere. He stated that he read one (1) ordinance where rooming houses were required to have a resident manager and they had to have a fairly specific set of rules; however, he did not get into the logistics of how to accomplish this. Mr. Sudler stated that, as a co-sponsor of placing this discussion on the agenda, he thought that rooming or boarding houses would be a good way to offset the cost of at least $750 to $850 for a one-bedroom unit, which the homeless cannot afford. He noted that most individuals who are homeless, or disabled and homeless, receive checks for $750 if they are partially disabled or $900 if they are fully disabled. Mr. Sudler explained that he is a rental sales professional for seniors, the handicapped, and veterans, and had been in this position for over 16 years. He indicated that he thought this would be a good component to try to offset the cost and provide immediate housing relief for the homeless as it could be doable and would not cost the taxpayers an excessive amount of financial hardship. Mr. Sudler stated that members had recently been discussing land banks; however, rooming or boarding houses could provide immediate relief rather than relying on implementing a program that may cost money and this was a good opportunity to explore. Mr. Slavin advised that he had some concerns, some of which dated back to two (2) other times during his tenure when this subject was brought before Council, as long as 13 years ago. He explained that the first time there was an effort to open up the Code to allow for boarding houses around Wesley College’s campus. Mr. Slavin advised that this met with widespread opposition because people were worried that it was something that could not be contained to a certain area of the City and that the numbers could not be contained well enough. He stated that the second time related to the longstanding issues that took 10 years to resolve on New Street with the House of

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 18 Pride. Mr. Slavin informed members that the House of Pride ran rooming houses and rented them out on a room-by-room basis to individuals, which led to a series of problems there, and noted that he would not want the City to go back down that path. He asked that any discussion of this matter be aligned with the thinking in the community about the rapid rehousing of homeless. Mr. Slavin advised that he did not believe that warehousing the homeless is solving the problem of homelessness. He noted that giving them a place to sleep is a noble effort, but a room without one’s own bathroom or kitchen is not the kind of home the City is trying to get people into. Mr. Hugg stated that a discussion had come up in the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness which was not aimed so much at those who are thought of as homeless but at the relatively large population of people who cannot afford housing. He noted that Mr. Sudler had mentioned that many of the people who find themselves in limiting circumstances could afford $200 or $300 a month as part of a collective housing solution but cannot afford an apartment or housing of their own. Mr. Hugg stated that he agreed with Mr. Slavin that this was probably a slippery slope. He noted that the Oxford House is the epitome of how a group home is run for up to 10 people; however, this was not really the model. He indicated that, unless there is strong management, even in rooming houses with five (5) and fewer people, there are problems. Mr. Hugg stated that if he owned a single-family house in Mayfair, he could put five (5) people in it, call it a family, and it would in essence be a rooming house. He noted that these residents would potentially have individual rooms, a shared bathroom, and some kitchen facilities. Mr. Hugg advised that this concern is there, even if the rooming house issue is not addressed. He stated that, fortunately, there had not been many problems; however, there are Code violations on a regular basis in rooming houses where four (4) or five (5) people are living together. Mr. Hugg indicated that he did not have a recommendation, explaining that staff had just started discussing this matter and trying to find an answer, and he was unsure whether there is one. Mr. Anderson stated that he shared the concerns of Mr. Slavin, but also those of Mr. Sudler because the City had essentially interfered with the free market. He stated that this interference was costing people their lives, noting that people were dying on the streets, and it was not a theoretical issue. Mr. Anderson advised that he knows of people who are disabled and on three- or four-year waiting lists for subsidized housing. He indicated that it is essential to explore housing and, whether by reclaiming certain brownfield areas and looking at a planned neighborhood development of tiny houses or something like rooming or boarding houses, members must use a market-based solution because there are not enough taxpayer funds to solve the problem. Mr. Anderson stated the need for solutions where people can use their own money to take care of themselves. Mr. Anderson stated that this topic should be explored; however, he wanted to see insistence on safety and fire codes, etc. He noted that if there are too many people and it is not managed, a problem could be created which could be damaging and affect the quality of neighborhood life, which he had seen up close where he lives and all around. Mr. Anderson indicated that he thought a balance could be reached and members must explore this because they cannot afford not to. He advised that there are many people who should not be struggling the way they are, many of whom are the hidden homeless who are currently overcrowded because they do not have this opportunity, and are living in tents in the City’s woods and elsewhere. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought this

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 19 issue should be pursued in depth, taking into account safety, some of the other issues, and quality of life. He indicated that he thought that, with the public, members could reach a consensus. Mr. Neil advised that members were discussing the total picture of housing in the state of Delaware, not just in Dover. He stated that the Housing Alliance produces figures each year about how much it costs to live in an apartment, etc. Mr. Neil indicated that people who own their own homes and live on leased land are now being purchased out by out-of-state companies because they are commodities and have low income, seniors in particular because they are a source of money and self-filling ATM machines. He stated that the headlines in the News-Journal the other day stated that the leased land community in Sussex is $100 per month. Mr. Neil explained that Wild Meadows was purchased for $16M, they want $45 per month to live, and the seniors there own their own homes but are going to lose them and will not be able to pay. He advised that the same company that bought Wild Meadows purchased 786 homes in New Castle County in Murray Manor, which are old fashioned, trailer park type homes, yet they want $35 per month. Mr. Neil noted that the total amount of money going out of the local economy from just these three (3) communities is nearly $3M per year. He asked where these people would be put and noted that this is affecting everybody in the State, including those who have nice homes along State Street and are concerned about what is going to happen in their community when the City has rooming houses. Mr. Neil advised that the City has problems with people in apartment houses who are not controlled or taken out. He stated that he would like individual ownership which is why he supports Habitat for Humanity. Mr. Neil indicated that this affects the affordability of housing. He noted that when someone has to pay $100 more just to keep their house and will be paying close to $1,000 a month, this is a problem, because even people who are not being subsidized by the taxpayers are being affected by the cost of housing, which is going up. Mr. Neil stated the need to be careful not to destroy neighborhoods, the value of homes, and the quality of life of the people by having rooming houses. He asked how the City was going to have fair housing, noting that members had discussed the $5,000 funding for the Assessment of Fair Housing Plan earlier in the meeting. Mr. Neil advised that this is not an easy thing and would not be solved this evening, explaining that it would take serious thought and members would need to ensure that they do what they believe has to be done socially if they are going to put out places where rooming houses will be allowed. Mr. Neil noted that humanity says that this has to be done; however, there is a need to be careful regarding what is done and how it is done. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought that the main concern was providing affordable housing for those who can only afford a certain amount rather than housing all the homeless. He noted that some residents own homes that have acres of woods behind them and his family, for example, had dealt with people walking in their woods the previous day looking to set up tents, gather metal, or go “junking” to get income. Mr. Sudler advised that this was becoming a very alarming concern, noting that there are tents and homeless people in the woods on State College Road past the bridge. He advised that if it is said “not here” and “not there,” eventually the homeless will be everywhere, noting that they are already in his backyard and will be in the backyards of others. Mr. Sudler indicated that, as local officials, members should do what is in their power and have the advantage of being able to set guidelines and put forth restrictions to help monitor and maintain order. He stated that this is the power that members had been given through the people that he thought they

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 20 sometimes fail to exercise, noting that he was not pointing the finger at anyone or saying they are right or wrong. Mr. Sudler asked that members take some time, as Mr. Neil suggested, to think about this, stating that it would not be resolved tonight but would eventually have to be resolved by current or future members who are elected. He noted that today helps to plan for tomorrow. Mr. Sudler stated that he would like to place further discussion on the agenda in the near future. He advised that he and Mr. Hugg would be working together on this matter and invited Council members to join them. Mr. Sudler noted that Mr. Polce, Mr. Lewis, and Dr. Warfield had indicated that they would like to work with them as well. Mr. Hugg stated that his subcommittee of the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness had been meeting approximately every two (2) weeks and planned to meet on Thursday, December 14, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. in the library and he would send out a notice. Mr. Hugg indicated that so far the subcommittee’s discussion had been very much like the current discussion. He advised that there is a problem with no real, obvious solution; however, they are trying to get some understanding, and the more people that participate, the better. Discussion of the Availability of Storage Lockers for Homeless Individuals Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that some homeless individuals had come to a meeting and, following the meeting, a homeless gentleman came up to him stating that he had a job and was making some money but not a lot, can get back and forth, is comfortable in his tent, and knows where he can sleep most nights. Mr. Hugg advised that this gentleman indicated that his problem is that everything he owns is on his back, so he goes to work with a backpack, a tent, a sleeping bag, etc., strapped to himself because he cannot leave them anywhere. He indicated that if he goes to the drugstore to get a prescription, he is fearful of being mugged because he has no safe place for his items. Mr. Hugg advised that he had never thought about this issue and that the common perception of a homeless person is someone pushing a cart or walking down the street with everything strapped on them. He noted that this is a serious issue, and the gentleman had made the point that if there was a way to solve this problem, he would not be looking to anybody else to take care of his needs. Mr. Hugg informed members that the YMCA is remodeling their locker rooms and offered the old lockers to Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH). He stated that the question was where to put the lockers and that perhaps something could be done to address the problem of storage for the homeless. Mr. Hugg advised that he had reached out to the Police Chief, who stated that it was a great idea; however, he questioned where the lockers would be put and who would make sure that they are secure. Mr. Hugg stated that, as he had gotten involved in the issues of homelessness, some of the solutions to addressing the problems were as simple as giving somebody a place to store their goods, rather than things like building rooming houses. Mr. Slavin stated that it was his understanding that this matter related to the need to provide storage lockers for people who want to remain homeless, noting that there is a certain population of homeless who do not want to come in. He indicated that he was struggling with why this would be a government function. Mr. Slavin advised that the issue would not be just whether the lockers are

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 21 secure but also whether the contents are legal or subject to search. He noted that the phrase “slippery slope” had been used and expressed his hope that the availability of free, old lockers would not have the City government backing into an issue that is rife with civil liberty and public safety issues. Mr. Slavin stated that certain people who may not be homeless would have the ability to use the lockers and asked how someone would prove that they are homeless since there is no identification that they would carry. He indicated that someone could use a locker if they saw it as a hole in the security system that could provide a safe place to hide stolen merchandise, drugs, guns, and perhaps explosive things. Mr. Slavin advised that he did not understand why members would want to go down the path of creating a solution that does not help to reduce homelessness. He expressed the desire not to increase homelessness or make it easier to be homeless. Mr. Slavin indicated that he did not want to make things harder on people who are homeless but did not think that some of the services provided are an incentive to getting out of homelessness. He cautioned against creating more infrastructure for people to stay homeless. Mr. Polce thanked Mr. Hugg for bringing up this issue and stated that he thought there was a lot of merit to the conversation. He indicated that he planned to attend Mr. Hugg’s subcommittee of the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Homelessness meeting on December 14, 2017. Mr. Polce advised that he thought these conversations are very important and that Dover could look at what other cities around the nation are doing. He noted that Denver has a comprehensive locker exchange program and there are critical components, such as being geographically located in a central hub. Mr. Polce explained that they look at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) track level data, identify a hot spot where the homeless typically gather, and implement lockers there. He noted that this is a data set and information that the City does not have right now and would have to collect. Mr. Polce explained that it would be important for Dover to capture the process, noting that in Denver, before an individual receives a lock to secure their belongings, they must sit down with what they have established as a community resource center and go through an inventory of the belongings during a one-hour consultation. He noted that DIMH currently has a resource center. Mr. Polce explained that the individuals secure a locker and, more importantly, are getting many resources, such as the Department of Labor, local business owners who have partnered with the local resource center to employ homeless individuals, literacy on financial management, and tangible things that would hopefully guide them on a path from homelessness to home ownership or some form in between. Mr. Polce indicated that in Delaware about 83% of the homeless population are comorbid, meaning that they have both a mental health and a behavioral health issue. He stated that the inventory of the belongings ultimately ensures that no bad things are going in. Mr. Polce noted that this would still open up massive legal implications, as Mr. Slavin had alluded to, from sources like the ACLU. He explained that technically what is in their locker is the property of the homeless, but the locker is not their property. Mr. Polce stated that this was a great conversation that was just getting started and is something that needs to be discussed further. He noted that he has contacts in Denver and Seattle with people who have led initiatives from the grassroots level to this conversation, and it would be easy to contact them and ask what worked, what did not, and what the strengths, weaknesses, and legal ramifications are. Mr. Polce noted that there are significant legal ramifications to the initiative but he thought it was great to have the conversation and see if it is the right fit for Dover.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2017 PAGE 22 Mr. Anderson stated that the government had created part of the problem because if it did not treat the property of the homeless with less respect than it treats the property of anyone else, there would not be as much stress in this area. He asked how many times the government had come across areas and just thrown away the property of homeless people, including their paperwork and identification, when these things would normally be placed in a lost and found so they could be reclaimed. Mr. Anderson indicated that if the government is one of the biggest offenders, then the government should create a solution to the problem that it helped to cause. He noted that he was referring to the State of Delaware, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and others. Mr. Anderson indicated that he knows of people who have been set back greatly because when they came back from work the government had thrown all their things away. Mr. Anderson suggested that members could look at implementing something that would state that the property of the homeless should be held the same way that anyone else’s is held, if it is known whose property it is, and this would help relieve some of the stress. Mr. Lewis moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Slavin cautioned members, in regard to subcommittees and meetings, to make sure that they are not violating any provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by having too many members of any one (1) committee in place at one time. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:01 p.m. Timothy A.

Parks & Recreation November Monthly Report Parks & Recreation Highlights  Annual Food Drive was quite successful! Three (3) local food banks received plenty of food donations. Donations were collected at City offices and during the Capital Holiday Festival. In partnership with the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, First State Man- ufactured Housing and local volunteers food was sorted and prepared for the food banks. Something that was special this year, pet food was a welcomed addition to the donated items. Representatives from the food banks appreciated this, as many of their clients also had pets.  Capital Holiday offered our citizens a festive evening of fellowship and cheer. Loocker- man was full of families out to enjoy the splendor of the tree lighting, Christmas carols, Candy Cane dancers and so much more...well of course, Santa made the show all that much better as we welcomed in the holiday season.  Fall Co-Ed Volleyball League completed their season play with “Mike Sells Delaware” winning the league title.  Youth Winter Indoor Basketball League kicked off on November 18 with the Skill Evalu- tions day.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Works DATE SUBMITTED: 12/22/17 PREPARED BY: Sharon Duca, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Evaluation of Proposal - US 13 East Pump Station #7 Upgrades – Exception to Purchasing Policy REVIEWED BY: City Manager, Controller EXHIBITS: Doer Products and Services, Inc. Proposal EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $32,350 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $300,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Department of Public Works – Wastewater Management, CIP Project WW1602, CIP Project Name: Misc. PS Repairs. Account No.: 417-6900-569.40-31 TIME TIMETABLE: Notice to proceed to be issued within thirty (30) days of Council approval. Project anticipation to be completed in eighteen (18) weeks. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council authorize purchasing the air scrubber unit, to be co-funded with Kent County. Materials and installations by Doer Products and Services, Inc. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS One of the forty-four (44) sanitary sewer pump stations that the City of Dover owns and operates is called US 13 East Pump Station #7 (PS #7). This station is located east of Route 13 northbound and northwest of Home Depot (see aerial map). In recent months, complaints from nearby businesses have increased regarding the extreme odor that is released from PS #7. City Management is requesting an exception to the purchasing policy for emergency and continuity of services to address the odor. Since March of 2016, this pump station has been receiving a significant increase of sanitary sewer flow. The increased flow initially started due to a failure of Kent County’s sanitary sewer infrastructure north of the station. To avoid further failures, flow from the County is being diverted to PS #7 until improvements to Kent County’s infrastructure are completed. While the flow is a significant operational increase for the City, it is also the type of wastewater that is increasing the odor issue. A large amount of the flow that travels through the Kent County transmission line is from septic tank haulers that dump the septic sewage into a pump station north of the City. Much of the flow is also in the County’s transmission system for an extended period of time, which causes it to turn septic. Since the septic sewage travels through a pressurized force main, oxygen is not introduced to the flow. Without oxygen, the septic sewage bacteria grows and odor is created. When the flow from Kent County enters PS #7, the sewage is released to the open air environment and the odor is released to the surrounding areas. The completion date of the improvements that are scheduled by Kent County is unknown at this time. In an effort to decrease the odor concerns for the nearby businesses, the City and Kent County have agreed to partner and split the cost of installing an air scrubber system at PS #7, pending City Council and Kent County Levy Court approval. This system utilizes activated carbon as a filter to catch the odor before it is released to the surrounding areas. This system is currently in use at Kent County pump station #3 (Water Street) and successfully controlling that odor issue. It is anticipated that as this system addresses hydrogen sulfide concentrations, it will also address corrosion issues experienced at PS #7 that are effecting both electronic and electric components within the station. These corrosion issues have resulting in accelerated replacement of said components. Staff recommends that City Council approves the installation of the air scrubber system, which shall be fabricated and installed by Doer Products and Services, Inc. , which is the same vendor utilized by Kent County for their recently installed air scrubber systems. This approval shall be contingent on Kent County Levy Court approving their financial obligation.
