OPEN FORUM
The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting.
Council President Slavin declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that
Council was not in official session and could not take formal action.
Mr. El Ronnier Henry, 953 Myers Lane, Seaford, Delaware, noting that he is currently visiting his
girlfriend who lives at 218 North Kirkwood Street in Dover, Delaware, spoke about discrimination
that is being applied within the City when it comes to the regulation of private property and
consumer goods. He advised that he was told that he had to have his car registered with DMV or
it would be towed. Mr. Henry stated that towing his car would be against the law because UCC
382A, which deals with consumer goods for automobiles for traveling purposes, states that
automobiles are exempt from taxation, and vehicles for hire or commercial purposes are subject to
taxation.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 2
RESOLUTION NO. 2018-13 - COUNCILMAN BRIAN E. LEWIS
The City Clerk read into the record proposed Resolution No. 2018-13 recognizing Councilman
Brian E. Lewis’ service to the City of Dover.
By motion of Mr. Sudler, seconded by Mr. Lindell, Resolution No. 2018-13 was unanimously
adopted, as follows:
WHEREAS, Brian E. Lewis was appointed to the Dover Human Relations Commission on
October 13, 2008, serving until February 22, 2010, and was sworn into office as Councilman of the
Second District on May 11, 2015 and served with distinction until December 27, 2018; and
WHEREAS, throughout his tenure, Brian E. Lewis served as Chair of the Safety Advisory and
Transportation Committee, and as a Member of the Construction Code Appeals Committee,
Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals, General Employee Pension Plan
Board, Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee, Police Chief Selection
Committee, and the Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee; and
WHEREAS, Brian E. Lewis demonstrated dedication to protecting the citizens of Dover. He served
with sincere concern/or his community and his hands-on involvement was evident by his
participation in neighborhood and community improvement events. He was a bold advocate for both
the youth of Dover and the homeless community and has always placed the concerns and views of
his constituents in the fore.front. Brian E. Lewis will always be remembered as a voice for the
people.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council congratulate
Brian E. Lewis on his election as Kent County Sheriff, recognize that he will be sorely missed, and
wish him and his family success in all future endeavors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council express their sincere appreciation to
Brian E. Lewis and his family for the dedicated years of service and personal sacrifices made on
behalf of the City of Dover and direct the City Clerk to make this resolution a part of the permanent
records of the City of Dover as a lasting symbol of appreciation and gratitude.
ADOPTED: DECEMBER 10, 2018
On behalf of the Mayor, Council, and the citizens of the City of Dover, Mayor Christiansen
presented the Resolution, a Dover Cup, and a key to the City to Councilman Brian E. Lewis as
tokens of appreciation for his service to the City.
Councilman Lewis thanked God for allowing him to serve as a Councilman for the City and
extended his gratitude to the citizens of the Second District who entrusted him to represent them. He
stated that it had been an honor and a privilege to be a Dover City Councilman, and that he will miss
many people that he had the pleasure and opportunity to interact with during his term. Councilman
Lewis advised that the most important lesson that he learned as a Councilman was to have the
courage to do what you believe is morally right. A friend once told him that if something out there
Paj 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 3
was preventing you from being who you really are, fight. Councilman Lewis stated that he has
always believed in making, or having, an impact today rather than leaving a legacy for tomorrow.
He advised that when he decided to enter the political arena some years ago, starting with the school
board, a family friend simply told him, "The approach to public office is simple. Be honest and
accessible." Councilman Lewis advised that, as he moves forward, he thanks his colleagues on
Council for their public service, noting that what they do is not easy, especially when trying to build
a better future in this City for the days that lie ahead, and that, although they have not always agreed
or gotten along, he believes they all serve to try and make a difference and that their best beliefs
about each other and themselves can one day become the reality upon which this City is built.
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION - SENATOR BRIAN J. BUSHWELLER
The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Appreciation into the record:
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION
Presented to
The Honorable Brian J. Bushweller
State Senator 17th District
It is with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation that we recognize
the ten years of dedicated service to the citizens of the City of Dover and State of Delaware.
His dedication and commitment to the betterment of all his constituents shall be long
remembered. We appreciate his generous annual allotment of Community Transportation Fund
contributions for improvements to the sidewalk and street network throughout the
City of Dover, as well as, securing other funds for the Dover Police and Fire Departments and
other projects, too numerous to mention.
Best wishes for a happy retirement to Senator Brian J. Bushweller,
his wife, Rocky, and his extended family.
December 10, 2018
Mayor Christiansen stated that Senator Bushweller had done an exemplary job representing the
17th Senatorial District, but particularly the City of Dover. He presented the Certificate of
Appreciation and a Dover Cup to Senator Bushweller in appreciation for his work in the Senate.
Mr. Neil advised that he began his professional career as a newsman, an observer, trained to pull
together facts, duly reporting them to the public without embellishment or personal interpretation.
He noted that, early in his career, he came to the conclusion that elected officials fall into several
categories. Some of them, not so nice. Then there are those who examine issues, ask questions, learn
about the subject and make decisions, while not easy or politically expedient, vote for what they
believe is best for the general welfare for the nation and/or state and the people they serve. These
individuals are called statesmen or stateswomen. Mr. Neil noted that, in the 85 years of his
Paj 8
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 4
existence, he had not changed his mind as to what constitutes the best of the best and
Brian Bushweller is a statesman.
Mr. Neil stated that, since coming to Delaware, he had been fortunate to have been represented by
two extraordinary statesmen, Senator Bushweller and previously by Senator Bruce Ennis. As a
relative newcomer to the role of elected official, he stated that Brian Bushweller was a model to be
emulated.
Senator Bushweller advised that what he liked best about being the State Senator for the 17th District
was that he loved the opportunity that being a State Senator gave him to work with other people in
the community who themselves are committed people trying to do good things. He noted that there
are a bunch of people who work hard at trying to do good things for our community, and for the past
10 years he had the opportunity to work with all of them on something good for the people of Dover
and for the people of the 17th District.
Senator Bushweller noted that he and his wife, Rocky, came to Dover 37 years ago with a plan to
move off to bigger and better things; however, they quickly became aware that, especially with five
kids, Dover was a great place to live, and they gave up on the idea of leaving town. He advised that
he was very appreciative of the recognition and the opportunity to work with the City over many
years, and that he looked forward to working together on a continuing basis into the future.
Senator Elect Trey Paradee, Senator Bushweller’s successor, advised that there are dozens of
workers whose jobs are more secure and thousands of college students at DelTech and Del State
whose college education is more attainable because of the work of Brian Bushweller and that, to him,
is what the legacy of Brian Bushweller will be going forward for many, many years to come.
Senator Bushweller thanked Senator Elect Paradee for making the decision not to run for re-election
easier for him.
PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE -
EMERGENCY CASE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 350 MARTIN STREET, OWNED BY
GLENN R. DAVIS AND WILLIAM F. DAVIS (LTR)
In accordance with Chapter 22, Article XI - Dangerous Buildings, Sec. 22-388 - Emergency cases,
of the Dover Code, in cases where it reasonably appears that there is an immediate danger to the life
or safety of any person, unless a dangerous building is immediately repaired, vacated and closed, or
demolished, the building inspector shall report such facts to the council, which may cause the
immediate repair, vacation, or demolition of such dangerous building. A public hearing was duly
advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at
350 Martin Street, owned by Glenn R. Davis and William F. Davis (LTR).
Mr. Tim Taraila, Code Enforcement Supervisor, and Mr. Jason Osika, Fire Marshall, reviewed a
presentation depicting the condition of the property and providing a chronological history of the
property (Exhibit #1).
Staff recommended: 1) Declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property
dangerous; 2) Ordering the property demolished or repaired by December 26, 2018 by the owner or
equity owner at their own risk; 3) Ordering the Fire Marshal and Chief Code Enforcement Officer
Paj 9
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 5
to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date
established by City Council; 4) Ordering the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor
to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a
municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied
as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Taraila advised that all of the outstanding bills would not have to be
satisfied before the property owner is able to obtain a demolition permit. Mr. Osika advised that it
was an undetermined fire and that the case is still open.
Mr. Polce, noting that the building was deemed uninhabitable in 2014, asked what they need to do
as a Council to ensure that blighted buildings, that are probably used for illicit behavior and activity,
do not continue accruing structural issues for four years, leading to a cost to the Fire Department to
respond to the fire and putting lives at risk.
Responding, Mr. Osika stated that the City currently has a great vacant building program with a code
enforcement officer assigned strictly to vacant buildings. He noted that all vacant buildings are
registered and there is a good record of what is vacant. Mr. Osika stated that the property owner,
the fire department, and the police department are all notified when a property is registered as vacant.
He advised that code enforcement sends notices to the property owner regarding repairing or
maintaining the property. If they are not repaired, they begin the violation of the dangerous building
process. Mr. Osika noted that the demolition list must be prioritized according to the condition of
the property and the amount of funding available for demolition. He stated that this property was
not in the worst condition originally and was still structurally intact; however, the fire caused it to
be secured by the code enforcement officers and it has moved up the list because of its current
condition.
Mr. Sudler asked if the property owner was contacted to secure the property. Responding, Mr. Osika
advised that they try to have the owner take care of as much as they can. If it becomes a problem,
the police will call code enforcement and they will board the property themselves or have contractors
do the work. Mr. Osika noted that the cost of the materials is billed to the property.
Mr. Sudler asked if more staff was necessary to monitor the vacant or abandoned properties to see
if people are in the properties and to check for fire hazards. Mr. Osika advised that the staffing
requests had been presented to the City Manager for consideration during the budget process.
Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open and, with no one being present wishing
to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Staff recommended: 1) Declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property
dangerous; 2) Ordering the property demolished or repaired by December 26, 2018 by the owner or
equity owner at their own risk; 3) Ordering the Fire Marshal and Chief Code Enforcement Officer
to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date
established by City Council; 4) Ordering the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor
to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a
Paj 10
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 6
municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied
as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner.
Mr. Anderson moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
REZONING REQUEST - PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED
ORDINANCE #2018-11
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property
located at 971, 975, 983, 987, and 991 Forest Street, 21 and 27 Saulsbury Road, and 20 and 30
Carver Road, consisting of nine (9) parcels of land totaling 2.32 +/- acres, owned by Faithwork LLC
and Paul Davis and Justine J. Davis (Paul and Justine Davis Revocable Trust). The properties are
currently zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone), C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone), and C-PO
(Commercial and Professional Office Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the
proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor
Overlay Zone). (Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.07-01-62.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-37.00-000,
ED-05-076.07-01-36.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-35.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-34.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-38.00-000,
ED-05-076.07-01-39.00-000, ED-05-076.07-01-61.00-000, and ED-05-076.07-01-60.00-000; Planning Reference:
Z-18-03; Council District: 4).
Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2018-11 be acknowledged by
title only, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the
ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 22, 2018.)
Planner's Review
Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district
and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. She noted that the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request.
Mr. Sudler asked if how the rezoning might affect some of the residents in that area had been
considered or if they had received any input from the residents. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams
advised that no members of the public spoke during the Planning Commission Public Hearing. She
noted that the Comprehensive Plan identifies this block, which is bounded by Carver Road, as a
commercial area and the Lincoln Park area is more of a residential land use classification.
Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that a legal ad was placed in the local newspaper and a notice of that
evening’s public hearing was physically posted on the property with a bright yellow sign.
Public Hearing
Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Tolano Anderson, 50 Dove Creek Terrace, Dover, advised that he was the owner of
Faithwork, LLC, and that over the past decade and a half, he and his wife have gone through the
process of accumulating the properties and have recently joined with Mr. Paul Davis. He stated that
they are excited about their project and the business opportunities and the potential for creating jobs.
Paj 11
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 7
Mr. Anderson noted that the process has been really good and that they have worked well with the
Planning Staff and Development Advisory Committee (DAC) and they were happy to have the Staff
recommendation of support. He stated that they have no objections to combine the three different
zones into one zone, and do not object to the properties being subject to the Corridor Overlay Zone.
Mr. Anderson advised that they have had several meetings with the Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT) and the traffic impact study is going to help them formulate their plan and
engineer the traffic flows associated with this project.
Mr. Paul Davis, 5233 South DuPont Highway, Dover, stated that he and his wife, Justine Davis, own
the two parcels around the corner, which is currently the Subway property. He advised that they met
with Mr. Anderson and are working on a plan to develop the whole area. Mr. Davis stated that he
was a big supporter of economic development and creating jobs and that they were very excited
about the project. He also thanked the Planning staff and all involved and requested support for their
application.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Slavin declared the hearing
closed.
Mr. Hare moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning
Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and, by a unanimous roll call vote,
Council adopted Ordinance #2018-11, as follows:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - OCTOBER 9, 2018
The Economic Development Committee met on October 9, 2018 at 4:49 p.m. with
Mayor Christiansen presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Cole,
Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, Ms. Laird, Mrs. Adams (arrived at 4:52 p.m.), and
Mr. Hammond.
Update - Federal Opportunity Zone Program (Patricia Cannon, State Division
of Small Business)
Ms. Patricia Cannon, Director of Special Projects at the Department of State Division
of Small Business, provided members with information regarding the Federal
Opportunity Zone Program. She explained that Opportunity Zones are an economic
development tool designed as revitalization programs in economically-distressed
communities in Delaware and in other communities by providing tax benefits to
investors. Ms. Cannon informed members that the Governor nominated 25 census
tracts as Opportunity Zones in Delaware and they were designated by the
U.S. Department of Treasury. She stated that the Governor wanted staff to start and
build around the Downtown Development Districts because that initiative is already
underway and entices investors to invest in those specifically targeted areas.
Ms. Cannon noted that since the Opportunity Zone Program is a federal program it
offers stackable tax credits and incentives, explaining that investors could potentially
qualify for a downtown development incentive, a historical tax credit, a low income
tax credit, and an Opportunity Zone tax benefit. She stated that it’s now a matter of
trying to get investors to invest in Delaware, so the Department of State Division of
Small Business has been tasked with developing presentations for the Governor to
tell the Delaware story. Ms. Cannon advised members that she needs Dover to come
up with specific projects that will entice investors to invest in the Downtown Dover
District.
Mrs. Mitchell asked if the City is eligible for the funding since it is tax exempt.
Responding, Ms. Cannon stated that she believed so. She stated that she was not a
lawyer, however, it was her understanding that the City would create the fund and if
the City owned a piece of property it could donate the property to the fund, and the
current value of the property would be the value of the investment. Then you
renovate the property and sell it for five times what you paid for it. Since the City
is tax exempt, it will get the revenue and not pay any tax anyway but if the City had
Paj 13
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 9
a partner in the fund who was not tax exempt, they would get the profits if they left
them in the fund for 10 years and would not have to pay the capital gains tax.
Mr. Hugg noted that one of the keys to this program is setting up an Opportunity
Zone fund prior to making an investment a project. He stated that City staff had
reached out to some of the known potential investors in Dover to advise them to talk
to their tax attorneys and accounts about this program. He informed members that
virtually all of the downtown and west side of Dover are in the distressed census tract
and eligible for these types of projects, and it is important for members to add this
program to their repertoire of talking points, especially when talking with potential
developers.
Responding to Mr. Hammond, Ms. Cannon stated that it this program does
incorporate residential housing and commercial development. She explained that it
is their ideal that it really touches all aspects.
Ms. Cannon advised that there is a real sense of urgency to identify shovel-ready
projects because the law requires investments to be made by December 31, 2019.
She stated that a member of Congress had already tried to pass a bill to renew the
program and to be able to assign new census tracts in 10 years, however, it is
currently a fixed law.
Mr. Cole asked if the City qualified for the program and moved forward on a project,
would the City then be responsible for any outlays in the next fiscal year. In
response, Mrs. Mitchell stated her understanding was that it sounded like the outlays
would be coming from the fund. As she understood it, the fund would be setup with
its own set of guidelines and the City would have to follow those guidelines.
Mr. Hugg noted that Ms. Cannon is also the City’s contact for Foreign Trade Zone
designation and there have been discussions regarding whether any part of the
Garrison Tract might be eligible for and whether it might make sense or not to look
into a Foreign Trade Zone designation.
Mayor Christiansen asked whether consideration had also been given to the eligibility
for the Kent Aero Park on Horse Pond Road to be designated as a Foreign Trade
Zone. Responding, Mr. Hugg noted that it was a good question and indicated that he
thought it would be eligible.
Ms. Cannon advised members that a couple of years ago Delaware was the first state
in the country to be approved as an alternative site framework. She explained that
prior to that a Foreign Trade Zone had to be the point of entry, which in Delaware
meant the Port of Wilmington or a contiguous site to that port. Ms. Cannon stated
that with the alternative site framework the entire state of Delaware is considered
contiguous to the port, so any parcel is eligible.
Paj 14
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 10
Ms. Cannon noted that the State uses an attorney located in Kansas City, Missouri,
explaining that there are two (2) law firms in the United States who specialize in
Foreign Trade Zones and they use the same one that John Pastor has used since 1986.
She advised that he was planning to come to Delaware on October 30 for a meeting
with Sussex County regarding their airport, and if the City would like, she would be
happy to schedule some time to stop in Dover for staff to explore some ideas with
him. Ms. Cannon noted that the funds collected for that are restricted federal funds
that she can only use to market the Foreign Trade Zone, so she can pay him to come
and answer questions if that would be helpful.
Update - Draft 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 10 - Economic Development
Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed
Chapter 10: Economic Development Plan, Goals, Recommendations and Actions -
Preliminary Review Draft, dated October 5, 2018, explaining that the Draft 2019
Comprehensive Plan would be issued in its entirety for public comment and
ultimately submitted to Council and the Planning Commission for consideration and
approval. He stated that he was looking for input or feedback, so that everyone is on
the same page and the City has a sound and cohesive economic development
planning strategy for the next 10 years.
Mayor Christiansen asked members to review the Goals and Recommendations for
discussion during the Economic Development Committee meeting scheduled for
November 14, 2018.
Ms. Adams noted that Goal 8 - Promote inclusive workforce development programs,
strategies and partnerships, especially for disadvantaged groups, was one of the most
important to her. She explained that you have to have the workforce to support
businesses before you can bring businesses here. Ms. Adams advised that she
struggles with having the workforce to support her business. She noted that she is
a hub zone company for Downtown Dover and she wouldn’t dare move her business
right now because the hub zone areas are shrinking.
Mr. Hammond stated that he thought the Goals and Recommendations were very
comprehensive, especially in regard to healthy living, noting that there are some
major issues regarding healthy living and quality of life in the Dover community.
Report - Site Tour for Kent Economic Partnership (KEP) and Delaware
Prosperity Partnership (DPP)
Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised
members that Ms. Linda Parkowski, Executive Director of the Kent Economic
Partnership (KEP), and Mr. Kurt Foreman, CEO of Delaware Prosperity Partnership
(DPP), requested a tour of available properties in Dover. He stated that as they
toured Dover, they tried to identify a number of possible industrial or manufacturing
sites that might be attractive to market. Mr. Hugg provided an overview of the
11 areas identified, as depicted on the Dover Industrial Tour: Area Overview map.
Paj 15
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 11
Ms. Parkowski advised members that she had toured the County and Mr. Hugg had
provided one of the best tours. She stated that she received a nice booklet, all of the
properties were really well defined, and she learned a lot. Ms. Parkowski noted that
since starting her job with KEP, she had discovered that all of the really developable
properties are in the municipalities of Dover, Smyrna, Milford, and Harrington; the
County really doesn’t have that much land of their own that is available for
commercial or industrial development. She stated that most of the economic
development that KEP is going to do will be in conjunction with the municipalities
and they have been working toward that.
Ms. Parkowski provided members with an update regarding the Air Cargo
Ramp/Civil Air Terminal, noting that the 50-year use agreement was close to being
signed. She advised that it was pending an environmental assessment because they
increased the numbers of take offs and landings. Ms. Parkowski expressed KEP’s
appreciation for the City doing its part by designating a new zoning classification.
She stated that KEP would like to see that entire area master planned. Ms. Parkowski
noted that one of the targeted industries for the County from the economic analysis
study was warehouse and distribution and KEP thinks that warehousing distribution
goes really well with air cargo. She stated that while they are waiting on the
completion of the environmental assessment, the Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT) and KEP have been bringing in site selectors, aviation
consultants, and people who deal with air cargo logistics to have them assess the site.
In addition, they are trying to find consultants who can find an investor or developer
that would take on this project.
Ms. Parkowski advised members that, in its Comprehensive Plan, the County had
designated Employment Zones for future land use strategy. She stated that it had
designated one as the Aero Park on Horse Pond Road and another in the area of the
Little Heaven Interchange. Ms. Parkowski informed members that the County
Planning Office was working on developing ordinances for those Employment Zones
and planned to have an ordinance available for public workshops on October 29 and
30, 2018 for the South Fred Interchange. She stated that they had not designated the
area around DE Turf as an Employment Zone, however, it is targeted for rezoning in
the future land use strategy. Ms. Parkowski advised that the KEP was waiting to
review the ordinance to see what the allowable uses will be, however, she noted that
it was very good that the County identified jobs and economic development as key
factors in its Comprehensive Plan. She stated that the Employment Zone designation
is looking to the future and will be helpful to the KEP as it moves forward.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Economic Development Committee
Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT -
NOVEMBER 14, 2018
The Economic Development Committee met on November 14, 2018 at 4:32 p.m.
with Mayor Christiansen presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Cole,
Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, Ms. Laird, and Mrs. Adams. Mr. Hammond was absent.
Draft 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 10 - Economic Development Plan
During their meeting of October 9, 2018, members reviewed Chapter 10: Economic
Development Plan, Goals, Recommendations and Actions - Preliminary Review
Draft, dated October 5, 2018.
Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that
staff’s deadline was to complete the 2019 Draft Comprehensive Plan before the end
of the year and asked members to submit their input regarding Chapter 10 as soon as
possible. He noted that this would not be the only opportunity for them to provide
input because the entire preliminary document would be presented to City Council
and the Planning Commission for approval prior to submission to the State for
certification.
Mr. Hugg noted that since the Committee reviewed Chapter 10 in October, all of the
recommendations had been circulated to City staff for their input and several
questions and suggestions were received. He stated that Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City
Manager, had raised some questions regarding Goal 1, Recommendation 2 - Develop
Effective Protocols for Business Attraction and Retention, and Goal 5,
Recommendation 11 - Encourage the use of Garrison Oak as a potential site for
green, alternative and low-carbon energy plant(s), and for large technological and
manufacturing firms that support these industries. Mr. Hugg explained that Goal 1,
Recommendation 2 deals with clarifying the point of contact for economic
development and developing protocols for managing City facilities, like Garrison
Oak Technical Park. He noted that she thought that the City should resolve those
issues prior to issuing the Comprehensive Plan, rather than including them as
recommendations. In regard to Goal 5, Recommendation 11, Mr. Hugg stated that
Mrs. Mitchell questioned whether encouraging the use of Garrison Oak as a potential
site for green, alternative and low-carbon energy plant(s), and for large technological
and manufacturing firms that support these industries might unduly limit the City’s
ability to market it for various types of uses. He indicated that he agreed, and that the
City needed to be careful not to limit itself, particularly since the City was in the
process of trying to redefine the Park and develop a marketing strategy.
Mr. Hugg stated that in regard to Goal 8, Recommendation 15 - Support the
development of workforce development programs, strategies and partnerships that
increase training and employment opportunities for all residents, especially for youth
and young adults, and for low income, communities of color, people with disabilities,
ex-offenders, and others that face economic injustices and barriers to employment,
Mrs. Mitchell advised that she was currently working on this for City recruitment and
Paj 17
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 13
staffing and had met with the school districts. He noted that he thought that the
Comprehensive Plan simply needed to reference that point.
Mr. Hugg informed members that Mr. Jim Robinson, Electric Director, also
submitted a comment regarding Chapter 10. Mr. Robinson suggested the inclusion
of a recommendation related to Smart City initiatives.
Mayor Christiansen asked whether Mr. Hugg was seeking endorsement of the
concepts from the Committee. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that endorsement would
be great, with the understanding that any endorsement is not binding, it is simply to
move forward with the process. He indicated that his primary goal was to determine
if members had any concerns or suggestions with the draft Goals and
Recommendations.
Mr. Cole moved to recommend that staff move forward with Chapter 10 of the Draft
Comprehensive Plan, with the inclusion of the recommendations of Mrs. Donna
Mitchell, City Manager, and Mr. Jim Robinson, Electric Director, seconded by
Mrs. Mitchell.
Mr. Hare, referring to the first bullet point under Goal 1, Recommendation 2, noted
that “point-of-contract” should be changed to “point-of-contact.”
Responding to Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg stated that there is opportunity for unofficial
and official public comment. He advised that the Draft Goals and Recommendations
were circulated to several stakeholders, including the Kent Economic Partnership of
Greater Delaware, the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hugg explained that the next step
will be to put together the first draft of the preliminary Plan which will be issued for
public review and comment, followed by a presentation of a preliminary draft Plan
to Council and the Planning Commission, further opportunity for public review, and
then back to Council and Planning Commission for approval.
Mr. Hare asked if the City was involved with the County in Goal 8, Recommendation
15 - Support the development of workforce development programs, strategies and
partnerships that increase training and employment opportunities for all residents,
especially for youth and young adults, and for low income, communities of color,
people with disabilities, ex-offenders, and others that face economic injustices and
barriers to employment. He noted that a recent newspaper article questioned what
the City was doing for the homeless, and he wondered what the County was doing.
Mr. Hare stated that he did not think that it should all on the City, and he would like
to see the County have a stake in it as well. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that he did
not know what the County was doing with regard to workforce development,
however, he had met with the County regarding the Comprehensive Plan review and
this may be a point that the City wants to address with them. He noted that the
County adopted its Comprehensive Plan about a month ago; however, he could not
recall whether they address this topic. Mayor Christiansen advised that the County
Comprehensive Plan had been certified by the Governor.
Paj 18
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 14
In regard to workforce development programs, Mr. Hugg advised that City staff is
working very closely with the four (4) institutions of higher education in Dover,
particularly DelTech, to try to match the economic trends and opportunities in Dover
with the opportunities for people to be trained and educated for the jobs of the future.
He stated that this was an issue that he knew Wilmington University had thought
about for their programs in Dover, noting that they’re doing a lot with information
technology and data analytics. Mr. Hugg stated that these programs are aimed at
ensuring that there are jobs in Dover or Kent County for Delaware graduates.
Mayor Christiansen noted that the Kent Economic Partnership (KEP) has a
Workforce Development Committee in place under the leadership of Executive
Director Linda Parkowski. He stated that the Committee is fully funded, partially by
Kent County. Mayor Christiansen suggested that the City coattail on the KEP.
Mr. Hugg stated that he would take another look at this recommendation and the
efforts of the KEP.
Mrs. Mitchell expressed concern with multiple committees, organizations, and
agencies doing the same things. She stated that if KEP was taking on the charge of
workforce development, the City should let them handle it. Mayor Christiansen
stated that he agreed with Mrs. Mitchell, noting that the City makes a substantial
contribution to the KEP too.
Mayor Christiansen asked if it was the recommendation of the Committee to strike
Goal 8, Recommendation 15 from Chapter 10 of the Comprehensive Plan.
Responding, Mr. Hare stated that he did not think that the City should be investing
time and employee efforts to duplicate the work of the KEP. Mr. Cole stated that he
agreed but indicated that he did not think the City wanted to lose the overall goal and
suggested rewording it instead. Mr. Hugg stated that he will review what KEP is
doing, and reexamine this goal and recommendation to make sure it is reflective of
members’ comments and what the county is proposing. Mayor Christiansen
reminded members that the City is involved since there are City representatives on
the KEP Board as well as the Greater Kent Committee, both of which are working
on these goals. He indicated that he thought that the City should let them handle this
matter. Mr. Hare suggested rewording the recommendation to reflect that the KEP
is the leader and the City will support their efforts.
Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Cole and Mrs. Mitchell agreed to amend the
motion to reflect that the draft language be brought back to the Economic
Development Committee.
The Committee recommended continuing forward with the current verbiage with the
caveat that they have concerns, and that staff bring the draft language back to the
Economic Development Committee meeting on January 15, 2019.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

Proposed Resolution No. 2018-12 Proposing to Change the Name of Garrison
Oak Technical Park to Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center
Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed
Proposed Resolution No. 2018-12, explaining that changing the name of Garrison
Oak Technical Park to Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center would broaden
the scope to appeal to different types of businesses that may want to purchase or lease
property within the Park.
The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 2018-12.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Resolution
No. 2018-12 was adopted, as follows:
A RESOLUTION PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE GARRISON OAK
TECHNICAL PARK TO GARRISON OAK BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER
WHEREAS, the City of Dover acquired the property known as the “Garrison Tract” in 1999 for
purposes of creating jobs and providing economic stability, and
WHEREAS, the State of Delaware provided funds from the FY 2000 Capital Improvements Act
(Bond Bill) in the amount of $2,000,000 to facilitate the site acquisition with the provision that the
site be used as a high-technology industrial park, and the site was designated as the “Garrison Oak
Technical Park” and marketed as such, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with epilogue language for the FY 2000 Bond Bill, a Memorandum of
Understanding was executed between the City of Dover, Kent County and the State of Delaware
setting forth various commitments regarding the responsibilities of each party. One condition
contained in the epilogue language identified the types of business to be targeted, such designation
to be in effect until January 1, 2010, after which the limitation can be altered by mutual agreement
of the City of Dover and the Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO), and
WHEREAS, the City of Dover now desires to expand the purpose and nature of the Garrison Oak
Technical Park to reflect current business conditions and the changing marketplace, therefore
improving its marketability, and the Delaware Secretary of State has determined that with the
elimination of DEDO, no State approval of the name change is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dover hereby
directs the Mayor to take necessary actions to cause the name to be changed to Garrison Oak
Business and Technology Center and market the Center to prospective businesses in cooperation
with the Kent Economic Partnership and the Delaware Prosperity Program.
ADOPTED: DECEMBER 10, 2018
Mr. Hugg provided members with an update on the County’s employment zone
discussions related to the Central DE Aviation Complex (CDAC), located north of
Paj 20
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 16
the existing Kent County Aero Park and Civil Air Terminal. He advised that the
purpose of the employment zones is to promote business, industrial, and non retail
commercial kinds of activities. Mr. Hugg noted that the ongoing discussions with
Dover Air Force Base regarding the renewal of the Joint Use Agreement seem to be
close to preliminary approval, and that agreement would provide a 50-year joint
operations agreement that would allow commercial aviation to use Dover Air Force
Base as an air terminal with facilities being built on the Aero Park and adjacent
properties for aviation and related kinds of uses. He reminded members that the City
amended the zoning ordinances to allow an aviation and aeronautics-based industrial
zone. Mr. Hugg reviewed a document entitled “Central DE Aviation Complex
(CDAC)”, noting that the map on the left indicated the area already included within
City limits and the County was suggesting that the area to the north be annexed into
the City and managed and developed under City rules and regulations in the RPM3
zoning classification. He indicated that the County would like to designate the entire
area as the Center Delaware Aviation Complex or something similar. Mr. Hugg
advised that this would include a couple hundred acres of property south of South
Little Creek Road and would be tax rateable. He informed members that there was
one use proposed to the County for this area; however, that use would not be
permitted in the City. He stated that the City did not officially object, but made it
known to the County that it could be an impediment to carrying forward this kind of
activity. He stated that he did not know whether this was the influence, but the
County Regional Planning Commission voted seven (7) to zero (0) to deny that use.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Economic Development Committee
Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

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”
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 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.
Paj 22
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 18
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.
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 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
Paj 23
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 19
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.
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.
The Committee tabled consideration of Proposed Ordinance #2018-12.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2018 PAGE 20
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.
The Committee recommended approval of the award to Ivy Planning Group for up
to $45,000 plus travel costs, as recommended by staff.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

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
Paj 25

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.

Paj 26

have a very important Board of Adjustment meeting the following week and it is preferable to have
the members reappointed before that meeting.

Investment Policy Statement
Dated October 23, 2018
Paj 52
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

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;

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.

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.

agreement to sell it back to the seller at a fixed price at a later date. Typically used by owners of

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.

Mr. Lindell. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee
meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement),

Ms. Scarborough (Utility).
PARKS, RECREATION, AND

The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler
presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried.
Fourth District Total Expenditures for ADA/Walkway, Street Paving Projects and
Miscellaneous Enhancements for 2015-2018
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed a summary of the Fourth District Public Works
ADA/Walkway and Street Paving Projects and Miscellaneous Enhancements for 2015 - 2018. She
noted that the total expenditure was $2,381,825 and some of the projects had partial or total funding
from Senator Bushweller and Representative Lynn.
Criminal Statistics and Complaint Increase or Decrease for Fulton Deli Market - August -
November 2017 vs. August - November 2018
Police Chief Marvin Mailey reviewed comparative statistics regarding complaints for the 300 block
of Fulton Street, noting that there were less complaints between August and November 2018 than
August and November 2017. Chief Mailey explained that “Self Initiated Complaints” were
complaints initiated by a police officer and advised that there were 14 generated in 2017 versus
seven (7) in 2018. He noted that the Fulton Street Deli was closed on August 2, 2018 due to a
criminal investigation conducted by the Police Department in concert with the Department of
Planning and Inspections.
Mr. Anderson asked if, based on the volume of complaints, Chief Mailey thought there was a
definite connection between the illegitimate disorderly operation of the Fulton Street Deli and the
complaints in the area around it. Responding, Chief Mailey stated yes, the business which was
investigated and subsequently closed down was a magnet for criminal activity in the area as well as
narcotics, so it brought a lot of people to the area. He noted that, upon its closing, the Police
Department saw a rapid decrease of criminal activity and associated complaints. Chief Mailey
advised that the closure of the Fulton Street Deli allowed the Police Department to move resources
elsewhere in the city and meet other issues.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF DECEMBER 11, 2018 PAGE 2
Mr. Anderson asked if Chief Mailey thought there needed to be any adjustments to the City’s
ordinances related to safe communities and disorderly premises. He indicated that people had been
suffering in some areas, such as the Hamlet, Kirkwood Street and Fulton Street, for years before the
City was able to finally resolve the issues. Responding, Chief Mailey stated that he thought the laws
in place were sufficient. He noted that he thought that the cooperation of the residents and people
willing to report criminal activity helped in this situation. Chief Mailey advised that community
outreach and cooperation go a long way toward helping the Police Department achieve its goals and
as long as people are willing to work with them, they have plenty of tools to solve a lot of problems.
Mr. Anderson expressed his appreciation for the great work done by the employees of the Dover
Police Department.
Mayor Christiansen also commended the employees of the Dover Police Department for the
outstanding job they had done, noting that it was a great example of community policing. He
advised members of the possibility of the deli reopening under new ownership and that the Police
Department and community would continue to be vigilant.
Mr. Lindell commended the Police Department for addressing this situation and asked if the Police
Department would be redistributing resources on the outskirts of the city as well, noting that there
had been an uptick in break-ins and other crimes in the First District. Responding, Chief Mailey
advised that the Police Department constantly reviews criminal statistics and reevaluates
enforcement efforts and tailors them to current crime trends.
Mr. Sudler asked if the closing of the Elks Lodge on Kirkwood Street as well as the Fulton Deli had
made a significant impact on crime, particularly prostitution, in that general area. In response,
Chief Mailey informed members that, as a result of online dating, prostitution had taken on different
forms and the Police Department monitored illicit websites for this type of activity. He stated that
since those businesses had closed, the Police Department had definitely noticed a decrease in crime
and criminal activity in those neighborhoods.
Mr. Anderson noted that there was a particular liquor store downtown that seemed to be a magnet
for disorderly conduct around it and stated his hope is that they would receive a message from some
of these other closures and work to clear up their action as well. Responding, Chief Mailey advised
that the Police Department was aware of the activity to which Mr. Anderson was referring and they
had partnered with other organizations in an effort to investigate further. He noted that they had not
detected any activity worthy of closing the business down; however, they were keeping an eye on
that situation.
Update on College Road Walkway Installation/Estimated Cost
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised members that the College Road walkway is ranked as
project number 85 on the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Proposed FY20 to

Presentation - Smart911
Mr. Charles Kistler, Executive Director of Delaware Help Initiative, provided an overview of
Smart911, explaining that the application was purchased by the State of Delaware and is a service
that allows residents to create a free safety profile for their household that includes any information
they want 911 and first responders to have in the event of an emergency. He stated that if someone
from a household dials 911 from a phone associated with a safety profile, their profile will
immediately display to the 911 call taker, providing additional information that can be used to
facilitate the proper response to a proper location. Mr. Kistler noted that Smart911 provides details
that could impact the response the second an emergency call is placed and saves 12 minutes in
response time, which could be the difference between life and death. He stated that the application
is available in all 50 States and people can create a profile at www.smart911.com to provide 911
valuable information regarding their entire household. Mr. Kistler advised that the service is private
and secure, and individuals control the information that they provide.
Mr. Kistler advised that he and his colleague, Mr. Harold Stafford, were trying to raise grant funds
to address the Smart911 application within the Dover communities that they served with the
Lights-On program and they would return with a proposal for implementation in the City once they
secure the grant funding. He stated that this program would provide additional public safety which
is the whole basis of what they're doing. Mr. Kistler noted that in every city that they go to, a simple
light bulb on a front porch leads to an alleyway of solar-powered lights or the retrofitting of
streetlights to LED lights.
In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kistler committed to providing an information packet regarding
Smart911 subsequent to the meeting for inclusion in the Council meeting packet for
January 14, 2019. He stated that, in addition to providing the information packet, he would also
provide information for the Customer Service Department, so individuals who come into the
Department will have access to the information as well. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to
the meeting, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, provided members with additional information
regarding Smart911 (Attachment #1).)

Responding to Mr. Shelton, Mr. Kistler advised that the data individuals provide is protected,
explaining that it is stored on the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) platform.
Mr. Neil stated that he looked forward to having the information packet, so that he and Mr. Cole
could forward it to the Third District homeowners’ association presidents to circulate throughout
their communities.
Mr. Lewis thanked Mr. Kistler for the presentation and stated that, as a certified CPR basic first-aid
instructor, he could attest that it is a phenomenal program. He implored Mr. Kistler to follow up and
provide the information packet to Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, and Council President Slavin,
since he would no longer be on Council.
Evaluation of Proposals - Ambulance Service Contract
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation
of proposals for the Ambulance Service Contract. She reminded members that the City issued an
addendum to the request for proposals (RFP) for the Ambulance Service Contract on
November 16, 2018 and stated that all four (4) original proposers responded to the addendum.
Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year contractual agreement with
St. Francis Healthcare for BLS Ambulance Services to include two units, 24 hours, 7 days a week
with 2 EMT’S in accordance with the terms included in RFP #19-0001CM, issued July 11, 2018,
and subsequent addendum issued November 16, 2018.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Mitchell advised that the cost of the current contract was $245,000 and
the proposal submitted by St. Francis Healthcare was less than the current amount.
Mayor Christiansen commended Mrs. Mitchell for following through on looking into the facts and
information that were available.
Mr. Lindell indicated that he thought that when this contract comes up again Council should evaluate
the previous contract and future needs prior to initiating the RFP process. He stated that he thought
that staff did their due diligence but Council dropped the ball as far as communicating what they
wanted.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year
contractual agreement with St. Francis Healthcare for BLS Ambulance Services to include
two units, 24 hours, 7 days a week with 2 EMT’S in accordance with the terms included in
RFP #19-0001CM, issued July 11, 2018, and subsequent addendum issued November 16, 2018,

The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Dover Downs International Speedway - Request for Well - Lot 18
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed a request from Dover Downs International Speedway
to drill a well on Lot 18. She advised members that Chapter 110 - Utilities, Section 110-67 - Private
Wells of the Dover Code states that “It shall be unlawful and a nuisance for any person to dig, drill
or otherwise excavate any well more than 150 feet below the surface of the ground within the city,
or one mile thereof, without the permission of the city council given by resolution. No permission
shall be given for a well on any property where a potable water supply is available.” Mrs. Mitchell
explained that the Code prohibits her from granting this request; however, Council can authorize it
by adoption of a resolution. She informed members that, since it is not potable water, the
Department of Public Works contacted the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Control (DNREC) to ensure that the City would not be held liable. Mrs. Mitchell read DNREC’s
response, as follows: “After discussion with our office of drinking water, the following requirements
would be needed if the shower facility moved forward. Signage must be installed stating that the
water is non-potable, shower use only, no sinks will be allowed. Tempering valves will be required
and the shower and facility will have signage that states that filling bottles will not be allowed.” She
explained that if the City moves forward with authorization of this facility, staff would need to make
sure there is assurance that these conditions are met for DNREC’s purposes.
Mr. Greg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, and Mr. Jim Hosfelt, Dover International Speedway,
reviewed a map entitled “Master Plan Firefly.” Mr. Moore indicated that the end of the water line
was over 5,000 feet from the proposed shower facility for the campers in this area and it was cost
prohibitive to extend the water line for the purposes of the three (3) day Firefly Festival. He stated
that their proposal was to drill a well which would provide the water service to the shower facility.
Mr. Moore clarified that they were proposing lavatories to include sinks and showers and believed
they needed a potable water supply. He stated that it was very usual for wells to be completely
potable and they would go through all of the standard testing required by DNREC and the
Department of Health and Social Services. Mr. Moore informed members that there are many
potable systems throughout Kent County that provide drinking water safely, including the boy scout
complex and Delaware Turf. He noted that until last year, Polytech High School had a well system
that they operated on site. Mr. Moore advised that they would only use the system for the proposed
shower system during the festival and then it would be shut down.
Mr. Cole, noting the proximity of the Wild Meadows and Persimmon Tree Park communities, asked
if there would be any impact on the area. Responding, Mr. Moore stated that there would be no
impact in terms of the well, noting that DNREC would dictate which aquifer is safe and issue the
permit for the well.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF DECEMBER 11, 2018 PAGE 6
Mr. Cole asked if Dover Downs would be in communication with the area residents regarding this
matter. Responding, Mr. Hosfelt confirmed that Dover Downs would handle any communication
the City feels is necessary. He noted that Mr. Michael Coco and Mr. Josh Moore from
AEG Presents, as well as Mr. Terry Harmeson from Dover International Speedway, were also
present. Mr. Hosfelt stated that the Speedway and AEG wanted to emphasize that the nationwide
festival industry is very competitive now and in order to make the Firefly Festival viable, they need
to keep it fresh. He noted that approximately 50,000 people camp during Firefly and they would like
to increase the amenities in the campgrounds to make sure it is a place people want to come back to
every year.
Mr. Moore stated that, from a safety standpoint, it is very important for them to ensure they are
providing quality drinking water.
Mr. Neil stated that he thought that if the request is for potable water, the aesthetic value of showers
cannot be emphasized more. He indicated his support for the well as long as it will not interfere with
the Third District area, the water levels will remain consistent, and the separate potable water supply
will meet the requirements of DNREC. Mr. Neil noted that he was delighted to have AEG coming
in, explaining that he thought it would stabilize the entire operation, which is vital for the City.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Mitchell explained that, based on the request the City received, staff
believed the proposal was for showers only; however, based on Mr. Moore’s comments it seemed
as though they were discussing a potable water supply with DNREC. She stated that this only
creates a problem because the City Code does not allow wells with City limits; however, there is a
provision for Council to grant permission.
Mr. Moore stated that it was their fault for not making that clear. He explained that their primary
goal is a large shower facility but they also want the campers to be able to brush their teeth, and they
want the water at a level where they can allow that to happen safely. Mr. Moore noted that they want
everyone to be safe and comfortable and do not want to have to install signs in the facility indicating
there is an issue with the water.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Moore explained that they could not pursue the permitting process
and testing until Council grants the exception to allow a well to be drilled.
In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Slavin advised that the Committee could simply make a motion
with a recommendation to Council to have a resolution prepared for the next meeting. He explained
that Council could then consider the Committee’s recommendation, as well as a draft resolution
authorizing the well, during its next meeting.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend that the City move forward with the processes necessary to
permit a well for this special purpose during the Firefly event, and instructing that a resolution
be drafted for the next Council meeting (Attachment #2). The motion was seconded by
Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried.

Evaluation of Proposals - Water / Wastewater Rate Study
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation
of proposals for the Water / Wastewater Rate Study. She noted that staff budgeted $60,000 for this
project and the recommended bid rate was $44,500, which would result in a savings on this project.
Staff recommended awarding the contract to Municipal & Financial Services to perform a Water /
Wastewater Rate Study, Bid #19-0009PW, for the amount of $44,500.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Municipal & Financial Services to
perform a Water / Wastewater Rate Study, Bid #19-0009PW, for the amount of $44,500, as
recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Proposals - GIS Inventory Survey of Roadway and Other Outdoor Lights
Mr. James Robinson, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the
evaluation of proposals for GIS Inventory Survey of Roadway and Other Outdoor Lights.
Staff recommended awarding the contract to Citelum as per the proposal submitted in response to
RFP #19-0010EL.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Robinson confirmed that the lowest bidder is from Dover and the
price reflects the preference criteria for contract awards, however, the decision was based on
experience. He advised that the lowest bidder has the ability to go out and identify objects to put on
the database; however, they do not have the experience to identify the 14 different attributes the City
requires. Mr. Robinson stated that staff wanted to ensure that the City has sufficient information to
decide what lights are needed.
Mr. Anderson stated that he leans toward the local company that scored a 90 and was in the top
three (3) bidders. He asked Mr. Robinson to explain the differences between the top three (3)
companies and why the City wouldn’t select the local company which is also a low bidder. In
response, Mr. Robinson advised that staff looked very closely at the experience that each of the
vendors have coming into this effort, noting that some of them have done hundreds of thousands of
these types of audits, while others have only done a handful. He explained that some of the vendors
have experience identifying the various types of information that the City is seeking, while others,
although strong vendors, don't necessarily have that experience. Mr. Robinson noted that it was a
tight ranking and a fair amount of preference was given to those experienced bidders.
Mr. Polce noted that he was excited that this project would provide the City with a real opportunity
for innovation, in terms of being a smart city, incorporating 4G and 5G on these light fixtures, and
providing data analytic capability. He stated that, based on his research, Citelum is an international
firm that had done hundreds of thousands of these types of audits, and asked if Mr. Robinson had
full confidence that, for the minor price difference of $3,800, Citelum would be able to deliver a
really great Phase I process that will lead the City into Phase II and ultimately to engage in larger
conversations regarding smart city technology, etc. Responding, Mr. Robinson stated that the ability
not necessarily to do this type of inventory but to do a comprehensive review, analysis, photometric
studies, etc. to go to the smart city environment was one (1) of the strengths of this particular bidder

and others. He noted that it is important to be able to utilize a firm who understands how all the
pieces fit together. Mr. Robinson stated that the price difference is fairly small and the
recommended bidder is not a Dover company, however, based on the criteria reviewed, staff felt this
was the best choice.
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, informed members that this GIS audit would enable the City
to convert to LED lights and it would also fix the City’s billing system. She explained that the
current billing system is inaccurate and the audit will determine what lights the City should be
billing. Mrs. Mitchell noted that the street lights are a General Fund expense, and this project will
help the General Fund because the billing will be accurate, and energy charges will decrease once
the LED lights are installed. She stated that the Electric Fund is paying for the project and the
General Fund will hopefully reap the benefits from it.
Mr. Sudler stated that he would like to see more business given to local companies and asked
Mrs. Mitchell if she thought the local company would be able to achieve the City’s goal.
Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that she could not answer his question because she did not
review any of the proposals for this project. She explained that she turned this project over to the
Electric Director and the determination was left to the expertise of him and his staff.
Mr. Sudler asked if this was Mr. Robinson’s first project of this magnitude. In response,
Mr. Robinson stated that he did a similar project in Massachusetts, however, it was smaller since
they only had 1,800 street lights to inventory.
Mr. Sudler asked if Mr. Robinson thought the local company would be able to perform the task and
achieve the City’s goal even thought they had a few things missing. Responding, Mr. Robinson
explained that the local company did not demonstrate that they could go out and get all of the
information the City wants for each light. He stated that the needed to demonstrate that they had
completed a sufficient number of these types of projects in the past for staff to be comfortable,
explaining that they did not want to get in a position where the vendor only provides half of the
information that they claim they will provide because staff is trying to keep the process moving along
fairly quickly. Mr. Robinson stated that, based on his experience in Massachusetts, he found that
it was important to have all the information to be able to effectively develop the next steps of the
program. He indicated that information, like the light wattage, is not readily available to the
untrained eye, and those who have done this for a long time can quickly identify the information.
Mr. Sudler stated that he understood and appreciated the importance and urgency of the project;
however, he wanted to ensure that the City did not overlook local companies that may be able to
provide the same service and were just missing a few things. He noted that he thought it was very
important for the City to invest in local companies as well as seek outside companies.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Robinson explained that the local company may be able to do the job,
however, they did not demonstrate that they have enough experience for staff to be comfortable that
they will provide everything the City is requiring by the end of the 45 days.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
OF DECEMBER 11, 2018 PAGE 9
In response to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the total was used for evaluation purposes
and reflected the price with the 3% reduction for local companies. She noted that if the 3% were
factored into the price, they would not have the lowest bid. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the vendor
would pay the unit price based on the number of lights in the City’s system. Mr. Robinson noted that
the unit price is the price the company actually quoted. Mr. Slavin suggested that the evaluation
prices and the actual prices to be paid be presented in the future.
In response to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Robinson advised that the overall project, including acquisition and
installation of the light, would cost approximately $3M. Mr. Lindell noted that he believed that if
staff thought there was a tie between the vendors, they would recommend the local vendor. He
stated that, in this case, he trusted the recommendation of the City’s experts that these individuals
would do the job and enable the City to complete this $3 million project without having to ask for
more money to fix any potential mistakes that may occur.
Mr. Polce moved to recommend awarding the contract to Citelum as per the proposal submitted in
response to RFP #19-0010EL, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Robinson stated that he did not have the information regarding the
differences in vendor experience with him, however, he could provide that information.
Mr. Sudler explained that he needed those kinds of figures to make decision. He noted that he was
not questioning staff’s expertise, however, he thought members should be provided all the facts in
the future. Mr. Sudler stated that he did not feel comfortable making a decision because he felt
members were missing information that was vital to making an education decision.
Mr. Hare noted that if he were provided all of the detailed information regarding GIS and lights, he
would probably not understand half of it, therefore, he relied on Mr. Robinson’ knowledge and
expertise and would support his recommendation. He indicated that the responsibility for the
decision would be staff’s, since the recommendation came from staff.
The motion to recommend awarding the contract to Citelum as per the proposal submitted in
response to RFP #19-0010EL, as recommended by staff, carried by a roll call vote of eight (8)
yes (Neil, Cole, Polce, Hare, Lindell, Slavin, Scarborough, and Doyle) and three (3) no
(Anderson, Sudler, and Lewis).
Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

What is Smart911 ?
Smart911 is a service that allows residents to create a free Safety Profile for their household that includes any
information they want 9-1-1 and first responders to have in the event of an emergency. Then, when anyone in
that household dials 9- 1-1 from a phone associated with their Safety Profile, their profile is immediately displayed
to the 9-1-1 call taker providing additional information that can be used to facilitate the proper response to the
proper location. At a time when seconds count, Smart911 provides details that could impact response the
second an emergency call is placed, which could be the difference between life and death.

NOVEMBER 2018
Planning & Inspections Highlights
Some Items to Call to Your Attention
Eddie Kopp joined the Code Enforcement Staff as an Inspector I
on November 19, 2018.
As I draft this monthly report, I admit that I was not in the office for
much of the month, due to serious medical issues. So kudos go to the outstanding
Staff who took responsibility and carried on in the finest meaning of that term.
But as the Mayor is fond of noting that “When dirt is moving in Dover, Dover is
moving forward.” Dover continues to enjoy healthy growth in housing, retail,
health care and general business categories. Examples of this growth are shown
in the attached pictures. This growth also shows in the Planning and Inspections
revenues which are already at 57% of the budget (42% of the year). Commercial
construction in November approached $4 million in value, with $13,700,000 plus
in value so far this year. Additionally, construction continues at multi-family pro-
jects such as Leander Lakes, Blue Hen and Liberty Court Apartments, along with
the addition of new single family units throughout the City. Efforts to remove
blight also continued with 5 properties condemned in November; two of which
are demolished, one is being renovated, and two others are in progress.
Finally, the Comprehensive Plan revision activities are ongoing with Preliminary
Drafts of Goals and Recommendations, Land Development Plan Maps and An-
nexation Plan Maps released and intergovernmental coordination activities with
adjacent municipalities underway.
