COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
(All Members of All Committees)
The Council Committee of the Whole met with Councilman Hare presiding in the absence of
Council President Slavin.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried.
Update on the Comprehensive Plan Project
Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mrs. Dawn
Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a presentation entitled “City of Dover, Delaware,
2019 Comprehensive Plan, Project Update October 2018” (Attachment #1) and the Preliminary
Draft Goals and Recommendations for the 2019 Dover Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Polce expressed his appreciation that there was one single voice used throughout the document.
He noted that he had paid particular attention to the Economic Development and Housing and
Community Development sections, and thought that a majority of the goals in the Economic
Development section were spot-on. Referring to Economic Development Goal 9 - Promote the
revitalization and redevelopment of the Center City, Mr. Polce indicated that he would like the City
to incorporate the word “enterprise zones.” He explained that he thought it was important for the
City to be more innovative and that it was critical to success that members think of things like
enterprise zones when incentivizing private development through federal, state, and local tax
reimbursements.
Mr. Polce stated that he was very happy to see that the City was linking the plan for health in all of
the work related to Housing and Community Development. He explained that he thought that it was
important that the City was looking at how health and housing are combined and how socioeconomic
status and demography impact health and quality health outcomes. Mr. Polce expressed his
appreciation that staff captured those points.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mayor Christiansen stated that the Economic Development Committee
(EDC) reviewed the draft Economic Development section of the Plan and made some
Paj 2
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF NOVEMBER 14, 2018 PAGE 2
recommendations during their meeting of November 14, 2018. He noted that they discussed
partnering with the County and Kent Economic Partnership regarding workforce development.
Mr. Sudler asked when the Comprehensive Plan would most likely be ready. In response,
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that they set a goal to have an initial draft for most of the plan chapters
completed by early December, and anticipate that a draft plan will be issued in January or February
for review by the PLUS process and Planning Commission. She informed members that PLUS is
the State agency review process that compares the City’s document to the checklist of requirements
for comprehensive plans. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that once the draft plan is issued, it
becomes a public document and begins the formal review process. She stated that staff wants to
ensure that they are putting out the best product to start the process, noting that it is a lot more
complicated to rearrange and rewrite whole sections once the draft is issued. Mrs. Melson-Williams
advised that staff is on track to have the final document completed before summer 2019.
Mr. Hugg requested members of Council to provide their input prior to the Christmas holiday.
Mr. Neil complimented staff on the proposed name change for Garrison Oak Technical Park and
requested that they consider a foreign zone.
Mr. Hare suggested providing the draft to Council during their Retreat in January. Responding,
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that staff could certainly aim for that, explaining that it is always better
to have a general endorsement of the document before it is submitted to PLUS. She noted that the
goals and recommendations are a big piece of the document, and the chapters contain a lot of the
background information. Mr. Hugg stated that he thought that the Plan would be an ideal document
to have for the Council Retreat since it touches so much of what the City does and what they hope
to achieve. He advised that staff would certainly have the document in a form that Council could
review during their Retreat, even if it is preliminary.
SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Lewis presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2018-12 Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions,
Section - 70-5 Aggressive Panhandling and Appendix F - Fees and Fines (Sponsors: Hare and
Polce)
The committee deferred this item during their meeting of October 23, 2018.
Mr. Polce explained that Proposed Ordinance #2018-12 was developed in response to some of the
concerns regarding ongoing panhandling, not only in the downtown community but at many of the
City’s local restaurants and businesses, most often gas stations. He indicated that Council will have
some very critical decisions to make in the coming months regarding big projects that will redefine
Paj 3
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF NOVEMBER 14, 2018 PAGE 3
the way the City does business and, in order to do that, members must ensure that the community
is safe and that the perception is that the community is safe.
Mr. Polce reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2018-12, explaining that it is rooted in Title 11 - Crimes
and Criminal Procedure of the Delaware State Code. He stated that the ultimate goal is to provide
the City’s police with more discretion in these matters, in order to reduce panhandling. Mr. Polce
noted that it would also ensure that panhandlers are aware that the City is proactively engaging the
community in saying “you can’t continue to harass patrons.” He explained that this would provide
an opportunity for the police to meet panhandlers without automatically arresting them. Mr. Polce
stated that there were probably a number of underlying issues within the panhandling community,
ranging from mental illness to substance use disorder to homelessness. He advised that this would
provide a tool to engage the community.
Mr. Polce informed members that he previously discussed this matter with Police Chief
Marvin Mailey, who had raised warranted concerns, and he assured him that he would not force the
ordinance through the process without proper consultation from the Police Department. Mr. Polce
noted that the Police Department does a tremendous amount of work with very little resources and
one of the major issues is that the City continues to ask the Department to do more without really
considering their resources and how resources are continuing to be expanded without having proper
funding.
Police Chief Marvin Mailey stated that he understood that Mr. Polce was trying to do what he
perceived was in the best interest of the City; however, the Police Department was opposed to
Proposed Ordinance #2018-12 for many reasons. He advised that 11 Del. C. §1321 states that “a
person is guilty of loitering when the person loiters, remains or wanders about in a public place for
the purpose of begging” or there are other mitigating factors that deal with other criminal acts, so to
allow loitering in certain locations between certain times would be in conflict with the Delaware
Code.
Chief Mailey stated that he also reached out to Mr. Steve Wells, the head prosecutor for
Kent County, who advised that he is not aware of any legislation change or any alteration to the law
that would allow for panhandling. Chief Mailey advised members that police officers take an oath
to uphold the U.S., federal, state, and local laws and it causes problems when an officer is put in a
situation where he has opposing directions. He stated that he understands that the intent of the
Proposed Ordinance is to give officers more leeway; however, he explained that officers have leeway
in the fact that when they typically contact a panhandler, they will ask them to move on and after that
they can progress from a warning all the way to an arrest. Additionally, Chief Mailey advised that
managing the permits and tracking the violations would be taxing on their already strained resources.
He also noted that panhandling is one of the top five problems that he hears about at civic association
meetings, town hall meetings, and from homeowner associations.
Chief Mailey expressed concern that the City might assume some liability if they allow panhandling
and then someone is hurt, harmed, injured, or a victim of a crime as a result of them opening their
wallet to give someone money.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF NOVEMBER 14, 2018 PAGE 4
Responding to Mr. Lindell, Chief Mailey stated that alternatives to the legislation would be verbal
warnings and departmental focus on problem areas. Chief Mailey discussed at length staffing in the
downtown area to improve safety.
Mr. Polce moved to table consideration of Proposed Ordinance #2018-12. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried.
Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee
meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:58 p.m.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Proposals - Diversity and Inclusion Study
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation
of proposals for the Diversity and Inclusion Study. She noted that this was requested by Council last
year and a budget amendment was completed last fiscal year for $90,000. Mrs. Mitchell stated that
staff recommended approval of the award to Ivy Planning Group for up to $45,000 plus travel costs;
therefore, she was only proposing to carry-forward $50,000 from FY 2018-2019 and this was
included in the Project Carry-Forward Budget Balances and Proposed Ordinance #2018-13 -
2018-2019 Budget Ordinances - First Amendment item scheduled for consideration during the latter
part of the meeting.
Mr. Hare asked how this study would differ from the study previously completed by Delaware State
University. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she could not recall whether Delaware State
University had completed a diversity study for the City in the past; however, the City did reach out
to them the first time the Request for Proposals (RFP) was done.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the award to Ivy Planning Group for up to $45,000
plus travel costs, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and
unanimously carried.
Annual Review of Investment Policy
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised members that the City’s Investment Policy Statement
is scheduled for annual review. She stated that staff did not have any recommended changes to the
Policy.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Mitchell advised that the City is making money.

unanimously carried.
Project Carry-Forward Budget Balances and Proposed Ordinance #2018-13 - 2018-2019
Budget Ordinances - First Amendment
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the project carry-forward budget balances and
Proposed Ordinance #2018-13 - 2018-2019 Budget Ordinances - First Amendment. She stated that
this is the first budget amendment for FY 2018-2019 from the carry-forward balances from last fiscal
year. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the adjustments primarily reflect the budget balances carried
forward for multi-year projects. She advised that there were also two (2) operational items: $50,000
for the diversity study, and $50,000 for Fleet Maintenance for police vehicle parts and materials.
Mrs. Mitchell explained that Fleet Maintenance was now servicing the police vehicles instead of
utilizing an outside automotive firm. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the proposed total carry-forward
budget balance adjustment was $6,572,000.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed budget amendments totaling $6,572,000 for fiscal year
2019.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the proposed budget amendments totaling
$6,572,000 for fiscal year 2019 and adoption of Ordinance #2018-13 (Attachment #3), as
recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee
meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:03 p.m.
Mr. Lindell moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The

Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of 11/14/2018
City of Dover, DE
Investment Policy Statement
Dated October 23, 2018
Paj 19
1.0 Governing Authority
It is the policy of the City of Dover to invest public funds under its control in a manner
that will provide the highest investment return consistent with the maximum safety of
principal, while meeting cash flow needs of the City. The investment program shall
conform to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
2.0 Scope
This Investment Policy Statement (the “Policy”) applies to all financial assets of the City
of Dover for which the City retains direct or indirect daily control. Funds for which the
City has retained outside fund manager(s) shall also be governed by this Policy or, in the
case of bond proceeds, related governing bond documents.
2.1 Accounts
2.1.1 Cash and Liquidity Accounts: The majority of the City’s cash balance
available for investment is maintained in the cash and liquidity accounts.
These accounts will be managed and invested by investment managers,
selected by the City Council through competitive bid, in order to maximize
the return to the City while, at the same time, providing for safety of principal
and sufficient liquidity for the City to meet its cash needs. The City will
manage its short-term investments to ensure sufficient liquidity and prevent
their premature sale for the purpose of covering expenditures. Short-term
investments should mature at face value in sufficient amounts to meet any
liquidity needs.
2.1.2 Reserve Cash (Intermediate) Account: To the extent cash is not expected to
be needed on short notice, the City shall invest such funds in the Reserve Cash
Account. This fund shall be managed and invested by an investment
manager or managers, selected by the City Council after a competitive bid, in
order to maximize the return on said money to the City while providing for
the safety of principal.
All of the City of Dover’s funds are accounted for in its Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report. Those funds to which this Policy applies include (excluding the Deferred
Compensation Plan and Pension Trusts):
2.2 Funds
2.2.1 General Fund
2.2.2 Capital Project Funds

shall be:
Investment Policy Page 2 of 15 Proposed
Paj 20
3.1 Safety
Preservation of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. To
attain this objective, funds shall be diversified among securities of high credit
quality and liquidity, so that risk of loss of principal is minimized.
3.2 Liquidity
The City’s investments shall be made for such periods as to enable the City to meet
all operating requirements that may be scheduled or reasonably anticipated.
3.3 Return on Investments
A goal of the investment program shall be to maximize investment return within
the constraints of Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
4.0 Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the City of Dover’s investment program is derived from this Policy,
which is approved by City Council, and “Dover Code, PART I, Subpart A, Article II,
Section 17" (attachment B) which states in part that “The Controller/Treasurer shall be the
custodian of all of the City funds.”
The City’s Controller/Treasurer shall:
1) Review this Policy annually and recommend changes, if any, to City Council;
2) Be charged with implementing the Policy, and may delegate authority to make
investments to an investment advisor. The Controller/Treasurer shall be responsible
for all investment transactions and shall establish controls to regulate the activities of
the investment advisor, if any.
3) Ensure that records of the City’s investment activities are kept for ten years.
5.0 Prudence, Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Any official of the City or investment advisor/manager empowered to make investments
on behalf of the City of Dover shall comply with the following:
5.1 “Prudent Person” Rule
Investment decisions shall be made with the judgment and care which persons of
reasonable intelligence, under circumstances prevailing at the time the investment
is made, would exercise in the management of their own investments assuming that
their objectives are those shown in Section 3.0 of this policy.
5.2 Ethics and Conflict of Interest
The delegate authorized to make City investments shall act at all times in an ethical
manner, and shall not engage in activity that could impair or be perceived to impair
their ability to make impartial investment decisions. They shall disclose to the
Mayor and City Council any material interests in financial institutions with which
the City has financial dealings, and which may be related to the performance of the
investment program. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking
personal investment transactions with the same individual(s) with whom business
is conducted on behalf of the City.

recent eight quarters the bank has not met both of the following two criteria:
Return on total average assets of 0.50 percent or greater.
Average capital ratio (total equity to total assets) of 5.00 percent or greater.

U.S. Government securities
U.S. Government agency securities
Federal Home Loan Board letters of credit
State of Delaware securities
Mortgage backed securities as referenced in Section 8.7

balance(s) in the account(s) marked to market each day.
9.4 Ensure that securities pledged as collateral are housed at the Federal Reserve Bank
or a mutually agreed upon third party depository. (The trust department of the
winning vendor will not be acceptable.)
9.5 Provide reports on a monthly basis to the City Finance Department detailing the
collateral pledged.
9.6 Provide a Call Report (Consolidated Report of Condition and Income, FFIEC 031)

If securities owned by the City are downgraded by either Standard & Poor’s, Fitch or
Moody’s to a level below the quality required by this Policy, it shall be the City’s policy
to review the credit situation and make a determination as to whether to sell or retain such
securities in the portfolio.
If a security is downgraded two grades below the level required by the Policy, the security
shall be sold immediately.
If a security is downgraded one grade below the level required by this Policy and matures
within 6 months, the security may be held to maturity. The Controller/Treasurer may
determine to sell the security if it is determined that there is a probability of default prior
to maturity.
If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, its presence in the
portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the Controller/Treasurer.

Paj 29

and loan associations. The Federal Home Loan Banks play a role analogous to that played by the
Federal Reserve Banks vis-a-vis member commercial banks.

finance operations or special projects.
PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard. In some states the law requires that a
fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected by the custody
state--the so-called legal list. In other states the trustee may invest in a security if it is one which
Investment Policy Page 12 of 15 Proposed

would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who is seeking a reasonable
income and preservation of capital.

of this state, which has segregated for the benefit of the commission eligible collateral having a
value of not less than its maximum liability and which has been approved by the Public Deposit

RATE OF RETURN: A measure of worth, either at security or aggregate portfolio level, over
a period of time. There are many return conventions, including but not limited to yield to maturity
at cost, yield to maturity at market, yield to worst, time weighted total return, dollar weighted total
return.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these securities
to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed date. The security
"buyer" in effect lends the "seller" money for the period of the agreement, and the terms of the
agreement are structured to compensate him for this. Dealers use RP extensively to finance their
positions. Exception: When the Fed is said to be doing RP, it is lending money, that is,
increasing bank reserves.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: The purchase of a security by a dealer with the
agreement to sell it back to the seller at a fixed price at a later date. Typically used by owners of
securities to finance short-term needs without having to liquidate the security.

that the customer can withdraw only by giving advanced notice.

indebtedness to liquid capital of 15 to 1: also called net capital rule and net capital ratio.

syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily converted into cash.

maturities and indexed rates chosen by the investor. The interest rate is adjusted periodically,
usually off a standard such as that prevailing on a Treasury Bill or the prime interest rate.

INCOME YIELD is obtained by dividing the current dollar income by the current market price
for the security.
NET YIELD or YIELD TO MATURITY is the current income yield minus any premium above

from the date of purchase to the date of maturity of the bond.
