She advised members that there are dilapidated lawn mowers chained to a tree that are under the trash pile. She requested that the City take action to remedy this problem, which she stated has been ongoing for more than six (6) years.

PROCLAMATION - LIGHTS OUT DELAWARE - EARTH HOUR The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, our nation's use of energy continues to increase, resulting in detrimental effects on the world's climate; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 2 WHEREAS, it has been estimated that turning non-essential lights out in America for one hour could save as much as 15% of the energy consumed on an average Saturday night; and WHEREAS, the energy savings will reduce carbon emissions into our air, preserve the natural resources used to produce this energy, set a positive precedent for the rest of the nation, and result in ongoing reduced costs for the taxpayers and businesses of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, participation in Lights Out America - Earth Hour will provide the residents of the City of Dover with insight into the impact of light pollution and allow them to witness firsthand the benefits of regulating outdoor lighting. NOW THEREFORE I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE support the recognition of LIGHTS OUT AMERICA - EARTH HOUR on March 27, 2010, by recommending that the residents and businesses of the City of Dover participate by turning out non-essential lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Mr. Ron Zink, of the Sierra Club, in appreciation for their efforts to conserve energy.

He announced that there would be a Change of Command Ceremony on April 1, 2010. Police Chief Horvath stated that nine (9) years ago, when he was appointed Police Chief by Mayor Hutchison, he was advised that one of the Police Chief’s most important responsibilities was to put the proper people in place to take charge when he retired. He assured members that he has accomplished that task and that Major Hosfelt will serve the City well as Police Chief. He thanked everyone for all the support provided to the Police Department and relayed appreciation for the dedication of the Mayor, Council, City Solicitor, and City staff. He indicated that it has been his pleasure and honor to work for the City of Dover. Major Hosfelt thanked the Mayor for the support provided in his appointment as Police Chief. He stated that he has had the pleasure of working under the leadership of Chief Horvath for the past 22 years and looks forward to working with the City and his extended family, which are the members of the Dover Police Department, in this new capacity.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 3 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - MARCH 8, 2010 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on March 8, 2010 with Chairwoman Russell presiding. PRESENTATIONS Beautification Partnership Project - Dover Housing Authority and Habitat for Humanity Ms. Jocelyn McBride, Executive Director of the Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity, provided members with an information sheet (attached to Committee minutes) detailing a “1-2-3 = ABC Community Event” being sponsored by the Dover Housing Authority and the Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity, with the support of Senator Carper’s office and Wesley College. Ms. McBride explained that the proposed project is a one-day community clean-up scheduled for August 21, 2010 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and will focus on improving curb appeal and streetscape in a 20-block area of Downtown Dover, from West Street to Governors Avenue between Mary and Loockerman Streets. She stated that over 400 volunteers will be involved, including a large number of Wesley College freshmen who will participate as part of their student orientation. She explained that a group of volunteers will be assigned to each street to perform trash pick-up, raking, and curb painting. In addition, homeowners in the target area will be given an opportunity to submit applications to have minor home repairs completed free of charge. Each group working on homes will have a skilled maintenance person present to supervise repairs. She noted that donations will be solicited for materials and supplies. Ms. McBride mentioned that the downtown area will be promoted during this event, and merchants in the area will be given an opportunity to sponsor beautification projects and provide discount coupons to participants. Ms. McBride requested support from the City in identifying and assessing properties to be targeted, assisting with permitting, providing trash pick-up service, allowing access to fire hydrants to be used in pressure washing homes, providing police presence as needed, and assisting with other event-related needs. Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director and Director of the Downtown Dover Partnership, stated that he applauded the efforts of the organizers and fully endorses the project. Mr. Ruane suggested that the project planning team contact Ms. Pamela Sapco, Executive Director of the Delaware Center for Horticulture, who administers a State-wide program that includes development of horticultural projects such as community gardens, public landscapes, and tree programs, for a possible tie-in with this event. In response to Mr. Lewis, Ms. McBride noted that Wesley College has volunteered their athletic fields as the primary location for volunteers to congregate. Responding to Mrs. Russell, Ms. McBride indicated that income level will not be considered when evaluating home repair applications, although information will be collected regarding how many people are in each household and how many families are being served. Ms. Ami Sebastian-Hauer, Executive Director of Dover Housing Authority, noted that a kickoff for the event is being planned for the middle of April and applications will be received from May 1, 2010 through June 1, 2010.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 4 Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated his support for the project and indicated that the City would definitely like to participate. He commended the Dover Housing Authority and the Habitat for Humanity for collaborating on the joint undertaking. Mr. DePrima stated that accessing fire hydrants would be difficult to arrange because of potential problems with the water system. He suggested that a City of Dover representative be appointed to the event planning committee to serve as a point of contact. Ms. Sebastian-Hauer noted Wesley College’s support in the form of contributing T-shirts, supplies, volunteers, and the use of athletic fields. The Committee recommended acceptance of the report and that the City of Dover provide support for the event in every way possible. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). Overview of Salvation Army Programs Captain Jeny Shurtleff, Salvation Army Corps Commander, reviewed a presentation regarding the Salvation Army (attachment to Committee minutes). The presentation included information on the history of the organization, the extent of the Salvation Army’s influence, both nationally and internationally, and the structure of the organization. She mentioned features that make the organization unique, including its spiritual and social service functions, its emphasis on music, the publications that the organization produces, and its quasi-military format. She noted that the Salvation Army in Dover provides a number of community services including spiritual services and a variety of youth programs, including after-school programs for Booker T. Washington, Central Middle School, and William Henry students. She noted that staff includes a full-time caseworker who assists with crisis alleviation, resume writing, and personal budgeting, and a part-time cook who prepares food for the soup kitchen and for youth in the afterschool program. She added that the organization participates in a kettle drive, which begins with an annual kick-off at City Hall during the Christmas season and is supplemented with a Christmas in July drive. Captain Shurtleff stated that she and her husband have been directing the program in Dover since July of 2008 and have been working since then to improve the exterior and interior of the building. An open house was held recently to showcase improvements made to the facility and volunteers were recognized. She emphasized that there are always opportunities for volunteers in the organization, specifically in the soup kitchen, assisting with the kettle drive, and working with children. In response to Mr. Ruane, Captain Shurtleff noted that approximately 50 individuals are fed on days when the soup kitchen is in operation. In response to Mr. DePrima, Captain Shurtleff explained that Mr. Walter Bagley serves on the Board of Directors for Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing and the Salvation Army Council and is, therefore, in a position to communicate information between the two (2) groups. She further explained that it is possible that the Salvation Army could provide emergency shelter for homeless individuals on cold nights if the Interfaith Mission runs out of space, but volunteers would be needed to staff the facility.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 5 Responding to Mrs. Russell, Captain Shurtleff indicated that one of the organizations goals is to open the Salvation Army’s gym for youth basketball, and to provide the facility as a safe environment for Friday night dances for young people. She noted that the building may be rented out to generate income for other programs. Mr. Ruane expressed his appreciation for the work the Salvation Army is doing in the community. Silver Lake Revitalization Mr. Zachery Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, provided members with a schematic drawing of Proposed Landscape and Stormwater Improvements for Silver Lake Park (attachment to Committee minutes), noting that the diagram represents the area of the park that is accessed from Kings Highway. He explained that the Silver Lake Commission has been working on ideas to improve the water quality of the St. Jones River and Silver Lake and has discussed the proposal with the State and with neighbors of the park. Mr. Carter introduced Ms. Laura Allison, the new St. Jones Watershed Coordinator, who will be working closely with the Silver Lake Commission to discuss possible improvements. Mr. Carter pointed out areas that are planned for native meadow plantings to help filter water runoff and reduce the need to mow. He explained that an area between the road and the river currently consists of dirt with exposed tree roots that are being eroded and will be replaced with wetland plantings and large, level, boulders will be placed at the edge of the water to create access to the river for fisherman. Walkways will also be provided to grant access through the wetland area. Parking will be relocated to the east side of the roadway, and the roadway will be moved 15-18 feet to the east. He noted that the area east of the road will remain turf grass, and a stretch of native meadow grasses will be added to the eastern border of the area. Mr. Carter explained that additional improvements are proposed to improve water drainage from the south end of the target area. Mr. Carter noted that the Silver Lake Commission endorsed the plan at their last meeting. He explained that the proposal was developed so that the group would be prepared to move forward if stimulus money becomes available. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Carter estimated the cost of the project at $150,000 to $300,000 and noted that the State Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control may also be able to help with funding. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Carter noted that the proposal encompasses Phase 2 of an improvement plan, and that Phase 1, which involved the establishment of native grasses by the bank of the river near Division Street, has been completed. He also mentioned that State funds have been designated to improve the water flow of the ditch that drains Washington Street on the west side of the Park. Mr. Carter stated that consideration will also be given to how Dover High School and Delaware Technical and Community College can improve drainage on their properties, which flows into Silver Lake. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Carter stated that there is no funding in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan for the project at this time, but that stimulus fund opportunities are being sought.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 6 The Committee recommended supporting the plan as presented. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). Library Bid Package A Mr. Zachery Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, explained that, with the completion of the Design Development Phase of the Dover Anchor Public Library, the Library Steering Committee is ready to proceed with completing Construction Documents for Bid Package A, which will allow for construction of the exit road to Innovation Way from the existing City Hall parking lot, the relocation of the existing electric utility lines and transformers in this area, and construction of a retaining wall. These documents will be completed and bid as a separate package to allow this work to start prior to the library building and overall site construction. Mr. Carter explained that Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture has been selected to perform this work at a cost of $25,300, which will cover total expenses and an estimated 10 percent project reimbursables. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Carter explained that funding for this portion of the project will come from the Library Reserve Fund and matching funds will be received from a State grant. Mr. Carter stated the importance of moving forward with this “groundbreaking” project to demonstrate to the State of Delaware the City’s commitment to the project. Staff recommended that the Professional Services Contract for Dover Anchor Public Library Bid Package A – Early Site Package for the Construction Documents, Bidding and Negotiation, and Construction Administration for the exit road to Innovation Way and the relocation of utilities in this area be awarded to Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture for the amount of $25,300 (including reimbursables) and that authorization be granted to the City Manager to enter into this contractual agreement. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to award the Professional Services Contract for Dover Anchor Public Library Bid Package A – Early Site Package for the Construction Documents, Bidding and Negotiation, and Construction Administration for the exit road to Innovation Way and the relocation of utilities in this area to Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture for the amount of $25,300 (including reimbursables) and that authorization be granted to the City Manager to enter into this contractual agreement. The motion was seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). Construction Manager and Construction Documents Mr. Zachery Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, indicated that EDiS Company was selected as the Construction Management firm for the Dover Anchor Library project in July 2009. They have completed the work on the Design Development Phase, and the project is now entering the Construction Documents phase. He explained that this is the final phase before the bidding process

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 7 begins for the Dover Anchor Library and is a continuation of work that EDiS completed during the Design Development Phase. Mr. Carter explained that, under this proposal, EdiS will review all documents to ensure that all elements follow the City’s desires for the project, as determined in the Design Development Phase, and that the City obtains a good value for dollars expended. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Carter noted that EDiS reviewed the initial documents and was able to reduce the overall budget for the project from approximately $24 million to $22 million. He also noted that the funds for these services will be allocated from the City’s Library Reserve Fund with matching funds from the State of Delaware. Staff recommended that EDiS Company be hired as the Construction Management firm for pre-construction for the Dover Public Anchor Library and that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a contractual agreement for the Construction Document Services in the amount of $38,500 (including reimbursables). The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to approve hiring EDiS Company as the Construction Management firm for pre-construction for the Dover Public Anchor Library and that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a contractual agreement for the Construction Document Services in the amount of $38,500 (including reimbursables). The motion was seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). After-school Grant - Capital School District Mr. Zachery Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the Capital School District currently pays the City of Dover to administer recreational after-school programs at Towne Point and Central Middle Schools. He indicated that the School District has an opportunity to apply for additional grant funding to expand the program to add 6-8 week recreational sessions in the fall and winter at Dover High School. Under this proposal, the Parks and Recreation Department would develop sports and recreational programs, hire skilled employees to provide age and socially appropriate recreation activities, and engage a part-time individual to oversee the program. If the School District receives the grant, approximately $25,060 will be available to cover all costs and fund the program. In response to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Carter stated that the part-time position would likely be advertised; however, he noted that the Capital School District may have a qualified individual. He indicated that sports officials and instructors will probably be contracted. The Committee recommended that the City of Dover assume oversight responsibility for an after-school program at Dover High school if the Capital School District receives grant funding. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent).

She explained that a request for $1 million dollars in Federal appropriations has been submitted, with the help of Ms. Lori James from Senator Tom Carper’s office, and noted that the request was sent to Senator Carper, Senator Ted Kaufman, and Congressman Mike Castle. Ms. Cyr noted a Library Foundation reception has been scheduled at the Governor’s House on May 6, 2010 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. The event will be hosted by Mrs. Carla Markell and all former Delaware First ladies will be invited. She explained that this will be an informational event for potential large donors and will be the lead-in to a large fundraising event to be scheduled soon after. Ms. Cyr explained that the Library will host a reception on March 16, 2010 for the candidates for Mayor and City Council to ensure that all those running for office are fully informed of the details of the Library Anchor Library Project. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Members reviewed a report of the Status of FY 2008-2009 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projects. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, offered to respond to any questions that members might have regarding the submitted report. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that additional funds may have been expended by First State Resource Conservation and Development Council, Inc. (RC & D) since the Status of FY 08-09 Program Funds Spent Report was submitted, and she felt confident that all grant funds would be expended. Housing and Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Fund) Members reviewed a report on the Status of FY 2008-2009 Program Funds Spent - Fiscal Year 7/1/09-6/30/10. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, offered to respond to any questions that members may have regarding the report submitted. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend noted that a total of $1.5 million in funds was received, six (6) properties have been purchased, and a seventh purchase will be closed in the near future. The goal for the program is to purchase eight (8) properties. Mr. Ruane requested that this type of information be included in future reports to provide benchmarks for reference. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend explained that the Dover Community Partnership, the Diamond State Community Land Trust, and Connections Community Support Programs are the three (3) partner agencies that are purchasing the properties. The City of Dover is passing through the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 9 funds, developing the specifications for any rehabilitation that needs to take place, and providing down payment assistance. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that properties being purchased are distributed throughout the City. Comprehensive Plan Implementation Status Report Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that her staff has been working on several projects related to the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, including a Master Plan for Garrison Oak, Environmental Protections, Evaluation and Update of Historic Guidelines, and Open Space Zones. In response to Mrs. Horsey, Mrs. Townshend indicated that staff attends Historic District Commission monthly meetings where portions of the Historic District Guidelines are reviewed. She noted the group is attempting to clarify historic standards as they relate to areas such as Loockerman Street and The Green. Mrs. Townshend stated that the two (2) largest projects related to the Comprehensive Plan that staff is addressing are the environmental ordinances and the Open Space Zone. She stated that staff has had two (2) meetings with stakeholders, including the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the Sierra Club. She noted that work continues with the Open Space Zone and that staff expects to bring a draft of the Open Space Zone to the April Committee meeting. Referring to the Open Space Zone, Mr. Ruane inquired whether there was a need for change in the code to include provisions for open space in the event of developer bankruptcies. During the City Council meeting of April 12, 2004, City Council approved an Open Space Plan for the Nottingham Meadows Subdivision at a cost in excess of $500,000. Mr. Ruane noted that the implementation of the plan is now in question due to financial difficulties encountered by the builder. Mrs. Townshend noted that if remaining lots in Nottingham Meadows are purchased, the active recreation area will have to be constructed before building permits can be issued. In response to Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, she noted that open space requirements are listed on development plans, and any prospective purchaser would therefore be aware of this requirement. Mr. DePrima noted that there is no provision for residents already in the community who purchased homes with the expectation of open space being included in the development. Mr. DePrima noted that the subdivision ordinance includes the requirement of performance bonds for street programs and suggested that consideration be given to the institution of similar provisions for community buildings and park areas to fund construction in case of default. Mrs. Townsend noted there are some municipalities in Delaware that have established this requirement for open space. Under this approach, she explained that the developer is required to obtain a letter of credit from a bank which the municipality could call to pay for construction in the event of default.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 10 The Committee recommended that staff explore ways of requiring additional performance bonding related to the Open Space Creation Program. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). Youth Advisory Committee Mrs. Russell explained that the Youth Advisory Committee will hold a special meeting on March 18, 2010, to prepare for a clothing drive. The Committee is also discussing membership requirements and replacement of members who are departing for college in the fall. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - MARCH 8, 2010 The Utility Committee met on March 8, 2010 with Chairman Ruane presiding. Garrison Energy Center Mr. Ronald Lunt, Director of Public Utilities, introduced Mr. Jim Rexroad, principal party with Garrison Energy Center, and reminded members that since May 2007, the Dover 2030 Committee has been meeting regularly to review the PJM Market, evaluate the capacity/energy requirements of the electric system, and generally develop and evaluate plans to provide low-cost, reliable power to Dover’s citizens today and in the future. He noted that after extensive discussions on the market capacity and energy shortfalls, it was decided to solicit the energy/power plant development market to gain knowledge of what options are available to the City through a Request for Qualifications process. Mr. Lunt explained that the goal was to assess options presented by the developers. This concept was outlined at several Utility Committee Meetings. The City then completed Phase II of the project, which was the evaluation of the proposals and the selection of four (4) options in which to enter negotiations. Mr. Lunt stated that the agreement presented to members is the second to be considered from the negotiations process and will be for a land lease option to a power plant developer that is considering building a 150-300 megawatt (Mw) natural gas combined cycle generation facility (plant). He explained that the City would have the option of attaining power from the developer through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). If approved, Mr. Lunt stated that the developer will have the sole right to execute a long term land lease. Mr. Lunt advised members that the proposed option is currently identified as Lot 7, which is located in the northeast corner of the Garrison Tract and consists of approximately 36.8 acres of useable land. He stated that, in addition to Lot 7, the developer is requesting an option for approximately 10.5 acres for a construction lay-down area, and 28.3+/- acres of buffer land, which is not able to be developed due to wetland issues. Mr. Lunt stated that the proposed option is for one year with an automatic one (1) year extension, should the developer decide to execute. He explained that an additional year may be added, for a total of three (3) years, provided that the developer files an interconnection with PJM, an air permit application, and a national gas interconnection, and requests an extension from the City. Mr. Lunt stated the developer will compensate the City $2,800 per year

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 11 for the right to develop in the future and that the City would continue to receive income from the agricultural operations. The City contracted with Alvarez and Marsal Real Estate Advisory Services to perform a comprehensive land valuation. It was noted that Alvarez and Marsal recommended that the City collect between $450 to $550 annually for each acre; however, if the developer decides to construct the power plant and executes the lease, the City would collect $700 per acre plus annual inflation adjustments. Mr. Lunt assured members that the option to lease Garrison Tract has been viewed by the City’s attorney, Mr. Kirk Betts of Betts and Holt, and he approved the document in its final form. Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute the lease agreement with Garrison Energy, LLC, as per the terms outlined in the lease. It was noted that some proprietary information has been redacted from the presented option agreement and that this information was shared with City Council during the Executive Session held earlier this evening. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Lunt stated that the advantages of having a tenant on the property include: • Income from the lease. • Property would be taxable. • Use of water if a plant were built. • Bringing natural gas into Garrison Tract, which could possibly be used by other tenants on the property. • Generation asset located within the City of Dover. • If a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is executed, the generator could be interconnected directly into the City’s system; however, this would be negotiated in the PPA since there are additional costs; therefore, it would have to be negotiated. • If approved through PJM, the generator will interconnect into Delmarva’s 230 kV system (Cartanza Substation), which will aid in congestion costs and options on the Delmarva Pennisula. Mr. Lunt explained that with reduced congestion, the Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) may also decrease. • Decommissioning clause allows the City to get the property back into its original condition. • Provides a collaboration between the City and developer. In response to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Lunt explained that NRG has closed two (2) plants in Indian River and has agreed to close an additional plant; therefore, the City will be losing more capacity than the proposed plant will be bringing in. Mr. Lunt advised members that RE units 1 and 2 are near the end of their life cycle, and at some point they will be retired and the City will lose an additional 37 megawatts (Mw). Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Lunt stated that retired units will likely be held in place for the time being in the unlikely event that there is a change that would make re-powering them worthwhile. He noted that recycling the scrap metal would be labor intensive and, therefore, probably not profitable.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 12 In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Lunt stated that the City has a letter of intent for the Blue Water Wind project and that the renewable portfolio will be secure if it is built. The Committee recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute the lease agreement with Garrison Energy, LLC, as per the terms outlined in the agreement and with final approval of City Council. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved to authorize the City Manager to execute the lease agreement with Garrison Energy, LLC (Exhibit #2), as recommended by the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). Discussion - Green Energy Grant Program On January 22, 2007, City Council adopted the Municipal Utilities’ Green Energy Fund Program Caps and Regulations. The program was developed by the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation, Inc. (DEMEC) and allows for the City to provide comparable grant limits and regulations to most other municipal and investor-owned utilities within Delaware. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, reminded members that under this program, a small portion of the bills of municipal and Delaware Electric Cooperative electric users is paid into a Green Energy Fund which is used to fund grants for green energy projects. He noted that currently municipalities are finding that the amount of grant funds requested exceeds available funds, resulting in lengthy waiting lists. He noted that the City currently has a seven (7) month waiting list and is requesting that individuals who wish to enter the program sign an agreement acknowledging that they may not receive their grant money for several months. Mr. DePrima stated that the City of New Castle, Town of Smyrna, and Town of Clayton have discontinued accepting applications for green energy projects due to this problem. He explained that these municipalities are planning to place this money toward projects that would benefit the entire system, such as conservation programs for public buildings and increasing efficiency in the utility systems, rather than financing individual projects. He noted that municipalities will begin this process by paying off pending grants and discontinuing initiating new grants. Mr. DePrima suggested that the City consider discontinuing the program until it is caught up and then possibly re-evaluate it, due to the extensive waiting lists. He also noted that the program was approved to fund demand-side management, energy efficiency, and green energy programs, and suggested that it might be more appropriate to target system-wide improvements that would benefit all users. In addition, he stated the State Energy Office will be providing programs similar to those currently being financed through this fund, and there is a tax credit available for green energy projects, so applicants may have access to other funding options. Mr. Hogan suggested that the City place a moratorium on accepting new applications until the list is reduced. However, he advocated an eventual return to funding individual projects as well, possibly reserving half of the funds for system-wide improvements and the other half for individual and commercial projects.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 13 Mr. McGiffin felt that the implementation of green energy changes by individual consumers is beneficial to everyone. Mr. DePrima noted that placing a moratorium would allow time to receive information from the State Office of Energy regarding the distribution of funds that may be made available either to municipalities or to consumers to fund green energy projects. Mr. McGiffin stated that, during the Utility Committee meeting of February 22, 2010, it was noted that the City had $111,518 pending in grant applications. Mr. DePrima explained that the City receives approximately $10,000 per month in revenue from the Green Energy Rate. In addition, he noted that many of the grant applicants are commercial users rather than individuals, and that the City itself is an applicant for a geothermal project planned for the new library. In response to Mr. Snaman, Mr. DePrima stated that the City would continue to receive the federal tax credit. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima stated that he believed that there were eight (8) or nine (9) projects on the waiting list and that staff would provide members with a detailed report at a future meeting. PACE/NAES Monthly Report (January) Members were provided the PACE/NAES Monthly Report for January. The report was provided to allow members the opportunity to monitor what is being sold in electric and the revenues received, which will give members a better understanding of any fluctuations and make improvements if deemed necessary. Although it was not staff’s intention to make a presentation of the report, they welcomed any questions. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the budget was reset as part of the mid-year review process. He further mentioned that, due to the cold weather, January’s actual usage was above the projected low. Mr. DePrima noted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has requested that the plant be turned on in June for testing, which will cost the City approximately $500,000 in fuel and operating expenses. He stated that the testing would increase emissions by 1/3 and that he will be meeting and corresponding with the Congressional delegation to brief them on this issue. The Committee recommended acceptance of the report. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 14 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - MARCH 8, 2010 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on March 8, 2010 with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of the Hiring Freeze for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there are no positions to consider, the item could be removed. Inspector I - Code Enforcement Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the employee who anticipated military deployment has informed her that deployment is not planned at this time; therefore, the request is no longer necessary and no further action is required. Utility Maintenance Mechanic I - Public Utilities Mr. Ronald Lunt, Public Utilities Director, explained that, due to the transfer of an employee, it is necessary to hire a Utility Maintenance Mechanic I in the Public Utilities Department. He advised members that three (3) of six (6) departmental employees have left due to retirement or transfer, and if this position is not filled, the City will no longer be able to maintain systems as necessary. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Lunt indicated that advertisement for vacant positions is handled by the Human Resources Department; however, he stated that it may be necessary to advertise in the Wilmington News Journal, particularly for the Utility Maintenance Mechanic II position (see next agenda item), due to the amount of experience required. The Committee recommended that staff be granted permission to recruit for the position of a Utility Maintenance Mechanic I - Public Utilities, as requested by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). Utility Maintenance Mechanic II - Public Utilities Mr. Lunt explained that, due to the retirement of an employee, it is necessary to hire a Utility Maintenance Mechanic II in the Public Utilities Department. He advised members that three (3) of six (6) departmental employees have left due to retirement or transfer, and if this position is not filled, the City will no longer be able to maintain systems as necessary. The Committee recommended that staff be granted permission to recruit for the position of a Utility Maintenance Mechanic II - Public Utilities, as requested by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 15 Proposed Ordinance Amendment No. 1 to Proposed Ordinance #2010-05 - Chapter 2 - Administration, Article VI - Other Post-Employment Benefits Fund, Section 2-505 - Medicare Part B Premium Reimbursements During their meeting of January 25, 2010, the Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2010-05 - Chapter 2 - Administration, Article VI - Other Post-Employment Benefits Fund, Section 2-505 - Medicare Part B Premium Reimbursements, as recommended by staff. During the First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2010-05 at the Regular Council Meeting of February 22, 2010, members were presented Amendment No. 1 for their consideration. During this meeting, Mr. Hogan stated that since the Committee meeting was held, a member of City staff submitted some suggested language which he felt would make the ordinance more appropriate and agreeable. Members were provided the ordinance with the proposed amendments that are reflective of the suggestions, as follows: amendment of lines 12 and 13, by eliminating “can be changed or eliminated at any time” and inserting “can be reevaluated annually for changes or elimination”; and lines 17 and 18, by eliminating “or resolution” and inserting,” with a public hearing,” and “and with a 90-day written notice to those employees who are currently receiving or who are eligible for Medicare Part B Reimbursement,”. Mr. Hogan explained that the ordinance presented for consideration at this time had been amended since the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee made its recommendation. After much discussion, Council referred Amendment #1 to Ordinance #2010-05 back to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee for their review and recommendation. The Committee recommended reaffirming the Committee action of January 25, 2010 for adoption of Ordinance #2010-05 with the original language. By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting). By consent agenda, Mr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). MONTHLY REPORTS - JANUARY 2010 By motion of Mr. McGlumphy, seconded by Mr. Leary, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: CIP Dover Fire Department Report EVALUATION OF BIDS - UNDERGROUND UTILITY LOCATING SERVICES Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that the Public Utilities Department is a member of Utilities Service Protection Center of Delmarva, Inc., also known as Miss Utility, which is a call center that receives excavation requests from all parties and notifies the Utilities of utility locating requests in our service area. He advised members that, historically, the City of Dover Public Utilities Department has performed the locating function with staff employees; however, both staff utility

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 16 locators recently retired. To determine the lowest cost alternative, staff evaluated the cost of in-house personnel versus contracting out the locating service for electric, water, wastewater and communication facilities. Mr. DePrima stated that the City would save $2,300 - $8,800 annually by contracting this service. He noted that ticket requests decline during the winter months, and it is expected that two (2) contracted employees will not be needed during this time; therefore, staff is confident that there will be an increased savings. Mr. DePrima indicated that proposals were solicited and advertised according to City Policy by the City’s Contract and Procurement Manager under RFP #10-0029DPU, and submissions were received from five (5) contractors. The proposals were evaluated based on experience, response time, geographic knowledge, ticket management, and cost, and the highest evaluated proposal was also the lowest cost proposal received from Underground Locating Services (ULS). Mr. DePrima noted that the contractor will be responsible for locating underground utilities owned by the City of Dover and will be liable for any utilities damaged due to incorrect locating. Additionally, the contractor will manage the Miss Utility ticket process, which includes receiving the tickets directly from Miss Utility, marking the involved utilities, and entering the information in the web-based reporting system. The City of Dover will be responsible for providing the contractor with periodic updated prints and files of newly installed utilities. Mr. DePrima stated that the proposed contract from Underground Locating Services (ULS) is for a period of three (3) years, with two (2) one-year extensions, and includes an annual increase of 2% the second year, 1% the third year, 2% the fourth year, and 1% the fifth year. He noted that the Public Utilities Department has been using ULS for a few months, and their performance to date has been very good. Staff recommended awarding a three (3) year contract with two (2) one-year extensions to Underground Locating Services, LLC. Mr. Hogan moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Slavin absent). APPOINTMENT OF BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS COMMITTEE In accordance with Section 102-181, Board of Assessment Appeals, of the Dover Code, the following appointments were submitted for consideration: Three-Year Terms to Expire March 2013 Thomas Burns (Real Estate Brokerage or Sales) James Galvin (Undesignated) William Garfinkel (Undesignated) Four-Year Terms to Expire March 2014 John Kelly (Accounting) Todd Stonesifer (Real Estate Brokerage or Sales) James Welsh (Property Appraisal/Assessments) Responding to Mr. Ruane, Ms. Cheryl Russell, City Assessor, advised members that there were previously three (3) members who served on the Appeals Committee. She stated that the ordinance

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 17 requires no less than three (3) members, and since the majority of the members have full-time employment and may not be able to attend every meeting, the six (6) members would help assure that the minimum number of members would be in attendance. She also advised members that the six (6) individuals submitted had requested the opportunity to serve on the Committee. Although there are members who are active in the real estate community, Ms. Russell did not feel there would be any potential conflicts. She assured members that a meeting would be held with the Board prior to the review of any appeals and that she would explain the requirement for abstaining from voting if there are any conflicts of interest. Mr. Hogan felt that with six (6) members there is a possibility of having tie votes and also noted the difficulty of filling a large number of vacancies on the Committee when the terms expire. He suggested appointing five (5) members, with one (1) member being appointed for a one (1) year term, one (1) member for a two (2) year term, one (1) member for a three (3) year term, and two (2) members for a four (4) year term. This would ease the transition for new appointees and present the need to only make one (1) or two (2) appointments each year. Mr. Leary moved for approval of the appointments to the Board of Assessment Appeals Committee as submitted, seconded by Mr. McGlumphy. In response to Mr. Salters and others who relayed concerns regarding the even number of Board members and what was perceived to be an excessive number of appointees from the real estate industry, Mr. Leary questioned the reluctance to have highly qualified volunteers from a particular field serving on a Board since they have expertise in the subject. After speaking with the City Solicitor, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, explained that, although there will be six (6) members serving on the Board, staff would not have to empanel all members for all hearings. Assuming all members could make the hearing, he suggested that one (1) member would be requested to “sit out” and that the members could be rotated in this manner. This could be accomplished simply by the City Assessor having an understanding that there would be only five (5) members serving at a hearing. For clarification, Council President Williams stated that the City Solicitor indicated that an amendment to the motion would not be required to request the City Assessor to empanel only five (5) members for each hearing. Mr. Leary moved for a call for the question, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes, two (2) no (Mr. McGiffin and Mr. Ruane), and one (1) absent (Mr. Slavin). The motion for approval of the appointments to the Board of Assessment Appeals Committee as submitted was carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Salters, and Mr. Ruane), and one (1) absent (Mr. Slavin). REZONING REQUESTS/FIRST READINGS Requests were received to rezone the following properties. Prior to amending the zoning ordinances and zoning map of the City of Dover, a public hearing is required.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Services DATE SUBMITTED: March 30, 2010 PREPARED BY: Scott D. Koenig, P.E., Public Services Manager; Ann Marie Townshend, AICP, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: 225 N. Bradford Street, Dover, DE 19901 – Violation of Dangerous Building Ordinance. REFERENCE: Chapter 22 – Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Sec. 22-388 – Emergency Cases Case #10-767 RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller/Treasurer EXHIBITS: PowerPoint Presentation and File Photos to be presented at the Council meeting. EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Preliminary estimate is $5,000 -10,000. AMOUNT BUDGETED: $50,000 (All demolitions City-wide). $15,000 remaining in current fiscal year. FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): 110-1600-534-30-33, page 400 of the 2010 Operating Budget. TIMETABLE: As soon as possible. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Declare this accessory building dangerous. 2. Order the property repaired or demolished by May 12, 2010 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk. 3. Order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structure if not completed by the owner within (10) days of the date set by Council. 4. Order the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the 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. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This property has been the subject of a number of code violations in recent years. Currently, staff is bringing forward the rear accessory barn structure for violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance in accordance with Chapter 22 – Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Sec. 22-388 – Emergency Cases. This is considered an “emergency case” due to the testimony presented by neighbors of the property at the public forum prior to the March 22, 2010 City Council meeting. According to the testimony, parts of the barn structure are considerably tilted, the structure is packed with junk and trash, and the structure represents a potential public safety and fire hazard to the neighboring properties. Additionally, neighbors indicated that the structure is occupied by a resident who will on occasion utilize electricity from neighboring garages to power electric heaters and lights. The neighbors’ testimony also included concerns about the stockpiling of garbage in the yard. Staff has visited the property and verified all of the above concerns except the use of electricity since this appears to be is an intermittent use. To date, the garbage has been removed, but additional junk and debris continues to be stored in the yard. The storage of junk, debris and garbage has also attracted rats to the property. Due to the evidence of fire hazard, public health and safety violations, and suspected illegal habitation of the structure, staff recommends the immediate demolition of the structure to remedy the situation.

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 2 Existing Property The property is currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). It was previously approved by the Planning Commission as The Arbors: Planned Neighborhood Design - Senior Citizen Housing Option (C-07-05). As a part of this approval, a road right-of-way was recorded through the site, connecting College Road with Topaz Circle in Emerald Pointe. Surrounding Land Uses: The property is surrounded to the north, west and east by residential uses. To the southeast, across College Road, there is a church. Emerald Pointe, to the north is zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone), and Hidden Oaks, to the west, is zoned R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). The adjacent parcel to the east is zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) has an existing residential use. Comprehensive Plan: The 2008 Comprehensive Plan depicts the subject area as Residential Medium Density land use on the Land Development Plan Map. The requested zoning classification of RG-2 is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Request for RG-2 (General Residence Zone) The following description of the RG-2 zoning district is provided from Article 3 §2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 2. General residence zones (RG-1 and RG-2). 2.1Uses permitted. In a general residence zone, no building or premises shall be used, and no building or part of a building shall be erected, which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for any purpose, except the following: 2.11 Any use permitted in one-family residence zones, except that: Not more than one professional office or studio, other than accessory to a use otherwise permitted, shall be permitted for each 25 dwelling units or major fraction thereof on the lot. Such office or studio shall be only on the street floor of any building and on the floor immediately above the street floor only if there [shall] be direct access to such office or studio from outside the building. 2.12 Garden apartments limited to placement within the RG-2 district only. 2.13 Off-street parking accessory to uses located within the central commercial C-2 zone, provided that: (a) Such parking is situated not more than 150 feet from the C-2 zone.

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 3 2.3Site development plan approval. Site development plan approval in accordance with article 10, section 2 hereof shall be required prior to the issuance of building permits for the erection or enlargement of all structures and related accessory structures. Such approval shall also be required prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for a change of use. 2.4[Conditional uses.] Conditional uses permitted upon the approval of the planning commission in accordance with the procedures and general conditions set forth in article 10, section 1 of this ordinance: (a) [Omitted, as it only applies to RG-1] (b) Student homes subject to the following siting and bulk criteria: i. No student home shall be located closer than 500 feet from any other student home. ii. The maximum allowable occupancy shall be four persons or the occupancy limit as determined by the building and fire codes adopted by the City of Dover, whichever is less. iii. Two off-street parking spaces shall be provided per dwelling unit. iv. A student home shall not be permitted to be established within any semi- detached dwelling, duplex dwelling, group dwelling, or townhouse dwelling unit. v. Buildings or groups of buildings on the same lot with 15 or more units on the lot shall not be subject to the student home regulations. vi.

(c) Multiple dwellings subject to the following restrictions: i. Conversions of single-family dwellings to multi-family residential dwellings shall be limited to the RG-2 district. The RG-2 district permits a higher density and a wider range of housing styles than the R-8 district. Recommendation of the Planning Staff and Planning Commission: In recommendation to the Planning Commission, the Planning Staff expressed concerns about the proposal for RG-2 (General Residence) zoning. Staff recommended that RM-2 (Medium Density Residence) zoning might be more appropriate, as it permits a wider variety of housing styles (such as one-family detached dwellings, duplex dwellings, apartments, townhouses, and garden apartments) and a density cap of eight (8) dwelling units per acre. RG-2 zoning does not include a density cap, and would permit more than eight (8) dwelling units per acre of RM-2. The surrounding residential subdivisions, Hidden Oaks and Emerald Pointe, are one-family residential developments.

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 4 Planning Staff recommendations are made prior to public testimony on the application. Following public testimony where members of the public expressed concern about the requested RG-2 zoning classification, as well as the RM-2 recommended by Staff, the Planning Commission voted on March 15, 2010 to recommend to City Council that the property be rezoned to RG-2 in accordance with the applicant’s request. Excerpt from Minutes of January 19, 2010 and March 15, 2010 Planning Commission Meetings: A transcription of the testimony presented at the Planning Commission meeting on January 19, 2010 is below: Representatives: Mr. Doug Berry, Pennoni Associates; Mr. John Paradee, Prickett, Jones, & Elliott; and Mr. Jordan Ashburn, Ashburn Homes. Mrs. Townshend presented and overview of the application. Mr. Berry stated that this property was subject to an age restricted condominium application that was approved by the City of Dover in 2009 and known as the Arbors Senior Condominium project. Due to market constraints, the developer wishes to remove the age restricted designation. In order to do that the property must be rezoned to RG-2, which would be consistent with the most recent Comprehensive Plan. There are no changes to the building foot print, site considerations, or the development density of 11.11 that is proposed. At this time, a rendering was passed out of the previous application. We recognize that in the Staff report they had some concerns with regards to the RG-2 zoning due to a theoretical maximum density of twenty-five (25) dwelling units per acre for the site. We did a density analysis and presented it to Staff and at this time, that analysis was handed out to Commission members for overview. Mr. Berry further stated that how Staff came up with twenty-five (25) units per acre was to take the minimum required lot area of 1,700 square feet per dwelling unit and divided it by the total square footage of the property to come out to 110 dwelling units. If you look at the rendering of the previous application, a lot of this site acreage would come out of that developable acreage. A public thoroughfare was required to connect the Emerald Point subdivision to College Road. The right-of-way on that road was approximately 6/10th’s of an acre which would render this undevelopable. The west side of the road which is called Senior Way is not developable either because of the building setbacks required which would render 9/10th’s of an acre undevelopable. Of the remaining acreage, .4 acres were reserved for stormwater management; therefore, there was only 2.5 acres rendered feasible for development. Of that 2.5 acres, the site was laid out in a fashion where the buildings, the parking areas, landscaping, required active recreation space, and if you take these areas that were set aside for development, the net developable acreage is approximately 2.5 acres. Mr. Berry further stated that if you look at the building footprint expansion in any direction it is not feasible. If you go to the west you are in the stormwater management

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 5 area and if you go to the south you are in an arterial buffer that is required by Code. If you expand to the east you would be in someone’s yard. If you expand to the north you are in the active space that is required for the application. Expansion vertically is not feasible because the height limitation is forty (40) feet. According to the developer it is not practical to reduce the size of the individual dwelling units within the building; therefore, the maximum number of units that could be constructed would be forty-eight (48) units. A greater density would not be feasible for the property. Mr. Hemmig stated that he noticed that on one of the bullets on the handout there is a statement regarding height variance being permissible without a height variance for height restriction, does that go to the Board of Adjustment? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Townshend stated that it would go to the Board of Adjustment and it would be a very difficult argument to achieve a height variance. Mr. Nichols questioned with regards to the right-of-way, originally the right-of-ways were sixty (60) feet then some of them dropped down to fifty (50) feet and now we are down to forty-six (46) feet. Where do we stand on this issue? Responding to Mr. Nichols, Mr. Berry stated that this was previously recorded as part of the Arbors Senior Condominiums and is a recorded right-of-way. Also responding to Mr. Nichols, Mr. Koenig stated that the right-of-way was reduced to forty-six (46) feet for this project and was approved by City Council because waiver requirements go to City Council for final approval. Mrs. Townshend stated that Mr. Berry has done an analysis for density and has showed you the site plan. Anything you recommend to City Council for approval, and is approved, does not get tied to a Site Plan; however, in the RG-2 zoning district apartments are a Conditional Use so you would have more flexibility to review the plan. The RM-2 zoning district is capped at 8 dwelling units per acre and RG-2 does not. What the applicant is demonstrating is they probably could not get much more than 11 units per acre and this is what they would like to do with the property. Mr. Friedman opened a public hearing. Mrs. Lisa Whiteman – 11 Pin Oak Drive – Stated that her concerns are basically that this is her backyard. The easement that is the passage way for a road is her backyard that they are talking about. When she bought this house, just like others, she bought it with the intention that it would stay at the value she bought it or increase in value. She is very afraid that with the implementation of these buildings, this in fact would not happen. She knows that it is labeled Senior Way and you want to put up homes for seniors or the intent is to put up homes for seniors; however, she has three major concerns. First, is there guaranteed funding that this would be completed? She can see by the description the mention that it is for senior housing and that there is a need for it and that is apparent because she also teaches within the district and there is senior housing that has started to be built between the corner of Route 8 and Saulsbury Road that is now stopped. (Mr. Friedman interrupted to state that this is not for

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 6 approval of senior housing; however, with the rezoning request it would not be required to be senior housing). Mrs. Whiteman further stated that if it was not going to be senior housing than she would like to know if the rezoning was going to risk the dwellings being turned into section 8 housing. Because if this happens she knows that the value of her home would go down and she would have to share her back yard with whatever is going on. Her other concern is if this does go up, is there a plan in force to fence it in or structurally separate it from the neighborhoods that we paid a lot of money to move into and we want to keep that value up. There would be extra traffic and noise and it is already pretty loud on College Road. Mr. Bruce Shamir – 23 Pin Oak Drive – Stated that he also has the same concerns as his neighbor who just spoke. As he recalls, from the last public hearing that was held on this application, that the right-of-way for the roadway in-between Emerald Point and the Arbors was a restricted use right-of-way for fire vehicles and not for open traffic. Responding to Mr. Shamir, Mrs. Townshend stated that this was to be dedicated as a public street at the 2007 hearing. Mr. Shamir further stated that this is his third time addressing this issue and each time it has gotten smaller. If we keep delaying it maybe we will get it to single family housing where he would like to keep it. He does not want to see this big structure in his backyard. The argument he had the last time is that none of you live there. He has to look at it all the time and you do not. As far as the traffic analysis adding forty-eight (48) more units and trying to get out onto College Road during rush hour, it is not the easiest task in the world. There was also mention with regards to garden apartments and if your definition of garden apartments is the same as his, where he grew up it was two stories is that still in fact? Responding to Mr. Shamir, Mrs. Townshend stated that with regards to garden apartments, the primary issue relates to direct access to open space so that it would not be surrounded by a parking lot and would allow for three stories with a maximum height of forty (40) feet. The definition in the Code book for garden apartments does not state the number of stories that is driven by bulk standards. Mr. Richard McKee – 1021 W. State College Road – Stated that he is the owner of the property to the east where this project is planned. He shares the sentiment of the previous two speakers. If this is not going to be for senior housing that it was originally planned to be then he would prefer it to be single family detached dwellings. His second concern is the access road because of traffic. If you have ever tried to get out onto College Road during rush hour traffic you cannot do it. He understands the desires for a connecting road between the southern portion of Emerald Point and College Road; however, he firmly believes that this must be an emergency use connector only and should not be general public access 24/7. If it is kept that way, there is going to be multiple accidents just waiting to happen and we already have enough of them. Mr. Friedman read into record a letter received on January 19, 2010 from Mrs. Betsy Duncan, 19 Pin Oak Drive who was unable to be at the meeting this evening. “Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the hearing scheduled tonight, however, ask you

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 7 take my concerns into consideration. As a resident of Hidden Oak Subdivision, I have an interest in the rezoning of the above property. Per discussion with your office, I understand the rezoning request would include single family homes as well as garden apartments. This property is surrounded by single family homes, and we believe the property should be consistent with the area. We are concerned with the adverse effects an apartment building will have on our property values as well as to our neighborhood. We knew when we bought our property there eventually would be construction; however, we were confident our City would protect our neighborhood and would not allow a building that would degrade, or be invasive, and overbearing. I understand the rezoning is on the table tonight; however, I am asking that you take our concerns into consideration and understand the surrounding properties are single family homes and wish to preserve the integrity of our area that includes our property and personal values. Thank you for your time and consideration.” Mr. Friedman closed the public hearing after seeing no one else wishing to speak. Mr. Paradee stated that he would like to allay what seems to be some concerns in the room that this is going to somehow change dramatically what has already been approved for this property. It is important for you to understand that this project is already approved for 48 condominium units. The only reason that the developer is here tonight is because he wants to change it from condominiums to apartments due to changing market conditions. Condominium units are simply not marketable. The developer is committed to keeping the building exactly the same with the same footprint and number of units. Staff expressed some concern with the change in zoning that theoretically there could be an increase in density. The developer is willing to go on record and does hereby go on the record as committing that he will not change anything about the building as it will not be section 8, any taller, and will be the same footprint and same number of units. Mr. Ashburn stated that he would like to reiterate that there are a lot of faces that have seen this go from two buildings to one building because of market constraints. Prior to us coming back this would not have been possible due to the fact of the different Comprehensive Plan and now that the Comprehensive Plan has changed, it does permit this change. He has spent a lot of money with architectural design on this building and he has engineered this site for the second time. He would really like not to have to spend any more additional money funds on a new architectural design. The intent is to just be able to bring this back to you for Site Plan approval less the age restriction. With the economic constraints with the aged qualified residents, they have a higher rate of vacancy in this building and seniors are having less of an ability to be able to pay a higher rent rate. Mrs. Townshend stated that she would like to clarify a few things. When a number of people who spoke asked some questions that are design oriented, those issues would be taken up at a later date if the rezoning is approved and they come back with a development application. In terms of the RG-2 (General Residence Zone), the permitted uses are essentially one family residence uses and the things that are allowed in that zone as well as garden apartments. Multiple dwellings which would be

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 8 apartments that are not considered garden apartments would be a Conditional Use. In some ways the RG-2 zoning classification has more restrictions such as not being able to do townhouses and duplexes. The RM-2 zoning classification would allow for a wider range of housing styles included townhouses and does cap the density. Mr. Hemmig stated that Senior Way has been recorded as a dedicated street; however, can this be changed with an application that comes back before this Commission? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mrs. Townshend stated that the recordation can change in the future as part of a future application. Colonel Welsh stated that originally this was going to be the Ashburn Construction Company, then it was going to be single family homes, and then senior apartments and now it is a building. He has heard some of the neighbor’s concerns with what will ultimately end up here and he can understand why they would have these concerns. One of the things that bothers him is that you received approval for senior housing with a three story building that was Conditional Use with R-8 zoning for single family homes. Now you are asking to remove the only thing that allowed you to do that and that is the fact that it was senior housing. If you had come to us and asked to build a three story apartment building with R-8 zoning we would have never approved it. One side of this building is bordered by a major artery known as State College Road and two of the other sides of the building are single family homes. On the other side of the building there is a small single story shopping center to the east. What you are talking about is building a three story building so he can understand how the people who have invested money in those homes are going to be upset. Colonel Welsh further questioned if this were to be used for some other purpose, the recordation of Senior Way from the development out to State College Road, does it have to be designed the way it is or does it just have to be an access point? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated that it would have to be an access point because the site constraints made it what it is. Code requires that they have two access points to a public street. Mr. Hemmig questioned what the applicant would do if this was approved as an RM-2 zoning classification? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Ashburn stated that honestly he was not sure because of the fact that there are two stub streets there already, which really limits him to how he can develop the property. Mr. Tolbert questioned if it would be feasible to recommend tabling this application to give the applicant time to get their thoughts together on this project? Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Friedman stated that this application will move forward to City Council who will make the final decision regarding zoning for the property. Mr. Ashburn stated that the building, as it is, if we had kept it as a parking lot we could have made it work as garden apartments. The public road as a public thoroughfare sinks this project as it currently is.

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 9 Colonel Welsh questioned what it is that drives the requirement for the roadway? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Koenig stated that back in the planning of Emerald Point of 150 units there was a requirement for access to two public streets. They have a stub street that goes over to the back of Hidden Oakes and would connect into Hidden Oakes if there ever was an extension of that development. There are environmental constraints in this area and that connection will likely not happen. For the public hearings for Emerald Point it was made very clear that this stub street would extend across this property and he thought that the owner of this property who was not Ashburn at that time was represented at those hearings. The alignment of this stub street was not objected to by the property owner at that time. The developer of Emerald Point picked the location of this stub street which from this developer’s standpoint has constrained his property. The stub street was recorded prior to the purchase of this property so the constraint has been there the entire time. Mr. Hemmig questioned if Senior Way did not exist and you did not have to put a street through there, how would that change what you could do with this property in its current form or with an RM-2 zoning classification? Responding to Mr. Hemmig, Mr. Ashburn stated that what that would allow them to do is be able to utilize more of the property. It is a higher standard when you have to build to a street standard rather than just a parking lot standard as you have different pavement widths and additional requirements. Mr. Hemmig stated that he feels that they do need to table this application because we need to look at this street requirement and if it has to be built because he does not feel that it is necessary. He feels that it was planned as a second entrance for Emerald Point; however, Emerald Point has been there several years now. He also feels that the developer needs to look at that if this street was not developed, how could they utilize the land without going to a density higher than eight (8) units per acre and make it feasible before we go forward with this application. It would seem that there are too many problems with this that need to be addressed with this application and if we approve it with this rezoning request then we are opening ourselves up to basically anything because we have approved other things that then do not get built and gets changed several times. Mr. Hemmig moved to table Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC located at 1051 College Road until the next Planning Commission meeting and in the mean time he would like the Planning Commission and Staff to discuss the requirement for the Senior Way Road access and would make it incumbent upon the developer to come back and make a good faith effort to figure out what they could do with this property within eight (8) dwellings per acre restriction without the access road that would be more in keeping with the neighboring properties of single family homes that surround this property, seconded by Mr. Nichols and the motion was unanimously carried 8-0. Mr. Ashburn questioned if this was something they could look at the economic feasibility of keeping this property at its current zoning with the PND or senior option and decrease the standards for the road and turn it more into a private driveway so that he

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 10 does not have to scrap the architectural drawings and the money that he has spent on them? Responding to Mr. Ashburn, Mr. Hemmig stated that their problem is that it was planned for a senior community, we thought that this was an appropriate development and would be something that would fit within the neighborhood that would not be a possible problematic situation. As an open apartment complex, it presents a more problematic situation than a senior complex would. Additionally, when you open it up to any age restriction then the density also becomes something that we look at a little more closely than we would with a senior complex. We are looking at either keeping it as a senior complex or reducing the density and at the same time making it something more compatible with the neighborhood. Mrs. Townshend stated that if Mr. Ashburn wishes to keep the rezoning at what it currently is, he would need to request to withdraw the rezoning application if he feels this is the most feasible solution and then submit a subsequent application. A transcription of the testimony presented at the Planning Commission meeting on March 15, 2010 is below: Colonel Welsh moved to lift from the table Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC at 1051 College Road, seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the motion was unanimously carried 6-0 with Mr. Shomo, Mr. Hemmig and Mr. Ambruso absent. Representatives: Mr. Jordan Ashburn, Ashburn Homes; and Mr. Douglas Berry, Pennoni Associates. Mrs. Townshend provided an update of the application. Mr. Berry stated that this application was tabled on January 19, 2010 in order to allow the developer some additional time to determine if the project would be feasible under and RM-2 designation rather than the RG-2 requested designation with the understanding that the College Road entrance and the public improvements between that and the building would be removed. Since that meeting we have met with City Staff and DelDOT to determine if the entrance could be removed at all and while we have been directed that it can be moved, there is secondary EMS access that would have to be addressed. In addition, there may be some improvements to the Emerald Point entrance adjacent to McKee Road. While it will help to remove the entrance in the public right-of-way, this project is economically feasible to the developer only under the RG-2 Zoning designation. We ask that you consider the development density of 11.11 that was approved for the Arbors Senior Condominiums will not be jeopardized. They would be proposing a new development with an equal or less development density than that proposed under that application. Colonel Welsh questioned what has been gained by the two months delay other than your coordination with the City of Dover Planning Commission? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Berry stated that they had the opportunity to meet with the City after the

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 11 business meeting and DelDOT we did not meet with until three weeks after that and then the snowstorm occurred so they had to wait an additional two weeks to have the meeting so it was necessary that we table the application to tonight. DelDOT has stated that the entrance can be removed and if that is the case, they have no jurisdiction over entrance improvements to this subdivision because access would be entirely via a City street and we would have to coordinate with the City to determine if any improvements would be required. Mrs. Townshend stated that one of the things that was discussed was eliminating access off of College Road entirely and coming through Emerald Point. Their discussion with DelDOT was to find out how they would feel about that. DelDOT indicated because their access would be from a City street that they would not have any requirements or objections to that. Colonel Welsh questioned that access would be through Emerald Point only and eliminating access off of College Road. Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated that yes it would be eliminating; however, having some type of emergency access in the event of emergency apparatus. Colonel Welsh questioned what Staff’s position would be on this issue? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mr. Koenig stated that Staff’s position at this point would be that they would have to come back through the process because there is a recorded right-of-way at this time that is undedicated; however, it would solve the transportation problem that would possibly be created by additional development on College Road by eliminating the access on College Road. The only problem is that it will place some additional burdens on the entrance off of McKee Road and those improvements have not been discussed publicly at a public hearing so we do not have any type of public comment at this point. Colonel Welsh further questioned what the status was for the application? Responding to Colonel Welsh, Mrs. Townshend stated that what you are looking at now is whether or not currently the zoning is R-8 and the request is to change it to RG-2. At one point staff had suggested that RM-2 maybe more appropriate. You heard public testimony about the rezoning at the January meeting and essentially, at this point, the applicant is stating that they want to proceed forward with the RG-2 request and are not interested in RM-2 zoning which would cap the density at eight (8) dwelling units per acre. They have approximately eleven (11) dwelling units per acre under the Senior PND that they have now. Senior Housing did not require rezoning what they want to be able to do is lift the senior age restriction and build the same product; however, cannot do that in the R-8 zoning district. Mr. Ashburn stated that as a reminder with the RG-2 zoning it has some fairly restrictive design criteria that you can place on this to make sure that we are doing what we say we are going to do. Responding to Mr. Ashburn, Mrs. Townshend stated that you cannot necessary hold him to anything that is promised this evening; however, because in RG-2 apartments are a Conditional Use and not a permitted use you are able to place conditions on that.

Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC Report to City Council – April 12, 2010 Page 12 Colonel Welsh stated that he still had reservations on this because the original application was for increased density as senior housing which was approved and no action was ever taken on it. He realizes that there were some circumstances that drove this; however, if we can eliminate one access point and keep the traffic level down on Baltustrol Road then we can proceed forward. Colonel Welsh moved to forward approval to City Council Z-09-05 Lands of JNK, LLC at 1051 College Road to RG-2 (General Residence Zone), seconded by Mr. Nichols and the motion was unanimously carried 6-0 with Mr. Shomo, Mr. Hemmig and Mr. Ambruso absent.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on March 22, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Ruane presiding. Members present were Mr. Hogan, Mr. McGiffin, and Mr. Snaman. Major Kosior was absent. Mayor Carey was also present (arrived at 5:05). AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. McGiffin moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried. Extension of Recycling Contract and Option for the Future Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the City of Dover’s contract agreement for curbside recycling with Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) expired on February 15, 2010. He stated that bids were solicited for recycling services in the Fall of 2009 and that DSWA was not the lowest bidder. He stated that $1.74 per pick up, which is based on 26 pick ups per year, per account, was the lowest proposal the City received. He noted that, based on the fee of $1.74 and the estimated number of average customers (7,740) per month, the cost to provide curbside recycling services using a contractor is $350,158 for FY 2011. Mr. DePrima also noted that DSWA recently informed the City of their intention to discontinue operating the trucks that pick up recyclables; however, they have agreed to extend their contract from March 1, 2010 until June 30, 2010. He stated that the existing price of $1 per pick up ($2.00 per month) per account will remain in effect during this time and that the estimated cost to extend the program is $61,324.00. It was Mr. DePrima’s feeling that recycling services could be provided by the City at a substantially lower cost if the work force in this area were expanded by a maximum of four (4) new employees; therefore, staff does not recommend awarding a contract to the lowest bidder. He advocated continuing recycling service in the future, as it is supported by many residents and conserves landfill space. Mr. DePrima also noted that Governor Jack Markell recently announced his intention to propose legislation that would mandate recycling in Delaware and require municipalities to operate under the new legislation by September 2011. He advised members that he is working with the Controller/Treasurer, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, on preparing a detailed cost analysis for the City of Dover to run its own recycling program. A side-by-side comparison will be provided to members during their next meeting. Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract extension with DSWA. Mr. Ruane requested that, in addition to the cost analysis, staff also provide members with an outline of the proposed recycling legislation during their next meeting. Responding to Mr. Hogan, Mr. DePrima stated that some of the recycling fees collected by the State will be used to establish grants and loans for municipalities. He also noted that the State of Delaware will be required to give the existing recycling containers to municipalities and that the City has been discussing the option of purchasing equipment from DSWA. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, stated that 85% percent of residents currently participate in the recycling program; however, the program has not been extended to apartment complexes and parts of the downtown area did not receive containers in the initial roll out.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 2 Referring to the Report on Recycle Tracking for FY 2010, Mr. Koenig stated that the City has avoided $58,000 in landfill charges by operating the curbside recycling program and that 945 tons were pure recycling. Mr. McGiffin moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to execute the addendum for Curbside Recycling with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, with the terms outlined in the agreement (Attachment #1). The motion was seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried. Review of Utility Related CIP’s (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Members were provided the Water/Wastewater Capital Investment Plan Project Tracking Report (as of January 31, 2010) and Major CIP Project Reports for the General Fund, Community Transportation and General Fund Street Funds, Water/Wastewater Improvement and Extension Fund, and Electric Improvement and Extension Fund. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the City has recently resolved the water loans. He also noted that a number of electric and water/wastewater projects have been started and that great progress is being made. With regards to the Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) Removal Project, Mr. Ronald Lunt, Public Utilities Director, stated that the project is funded through the revolving loan fund and bids were previously solicited; however, because the Davis-Bacon Federal Wage provision was not included in the original contract, the City will have to re-bid the project. He explained that the bidding process will be a minimum of three (3) months. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Lunt explained that the cost of the project is unknown until the City receives the bid proposals, and it is anticipated that the cost of labor will increase; however, the increase will be offset by savings and interest. Mr. Hogan moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. FY 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Members were provided the Five (5) Year Capital Investment Plan for FY 2011 (Attachment #2). Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, noted that new projects were highlighted in yellow. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Ronald Lunt, Public Utilities Director, stated that most of the projects listed in Wastewater Management were for pump stations and work on a force main that is 30-40 years old and has exceeded its life cycle. He stated that the City currently uses a program to evaluate the lift stations. Mr. Lunt explained that the Master Plan did not discuss lift stations unless related to capacity issues; therefore, the City is following the recommendations of staff. In regards to the Electric Engineering Transmission Relay and Coordination Project, Mr. Lunt advised members that, with the recent 69Kv system expansion, the City has experienced mis-operations within the system. He stated that the system is extremely complex; therefore, the

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 3 City has neither the equipment nor resources to review the settings to rectify the problems in-house. Mr. Lunt explained that staff proposes hiring an outside firm to review each relay so that the problem may be resolved. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. Lunt stated that there are two (2) facets associated with the cost of the project, including purchasing an internal program to review impedances (less than half of the expense), and hiring a contractor to examine each wire and relay setting. He stated that it is anticipated that the project will take at least one (1) year to complete. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) assumptions and rate structures have been operated through financial models that have been used in the past. She noted that the model is lacking the departmental budget for Fiscal Year 2011. Mrs. Mitchell explained that these improvements were originally modeled at $3M and are now being modeled at $4M, due to the addition of projects. As a result, Operating Funds have been transferred to Capital Funds. Mrs. Mitchell also noted that funds were transferred from the Operating Fund to the Improvement and Extension fund for Plant Engineering and Transmission and Distribution (T&D) projects. Mrs. Mitchell advised members that there are sufficient funds in the Operating Fund; therefore, the City is able to transfer $4M without financing. Mr. DePrima advised members that a life study analysis was conducted on units 1, 2, and 3 of the power plant and that the results of the study would be brought to the Committee at a later date. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Lunt stated that the analysis examined the cost and the anticipated revenue of the units. He explained that the revenue from the Capacity Market exceeds the expense outlined. Mr. Lunt noted that the analysis included a 20-year projection and that the anticipated revenues were favorable, especially on Unit 3. He stated that the term of the Capacity Market is three (3) years; therefore, the City's revenue is known during the three (3) year period, and the revenue for years four (4) and five (5) could be reasonably projected. However, he cautioned that, due to the instability in the market, further projections are very difficult, and after five (5) years the Capacity Market is based on assumption. Mr. Lunt stated that he was confident that the City would receive compensation for generation far beyond three (3) years. In response to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Lunt stated that, although Indian River has recently closed some of their plants, it is unlikely that the City will increase operations due to the units’ inefficiency; however, if the load were to expand, then operations would increase. He noted that the primary purpose is to maintain capacity. Mr. Lunt advised members that the City is currently at 100% of the available capacity payment. He stated that capacity payments are as follows: FY 2010-2011 - $11.3M ($2.3M for units 1 and 2) FY 2011-2012 - $6.9M ($1.3M for units 1 and 2) FY 2010-2013 - $14M ($2.7M for units 1 and 2) Mr. DePrima advised members that the new power plant was classified as a gas plant; therefore, the City is exempt from performing a test that would have cost $500,000 in fuel.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 4 Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City has stressed to PACE the importance of ensuring that investments provide a return. She noted that some projects were re-evaluated and scaled down for this reason. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. Lunt stated that the new gas power plant will be nearly twice as efficient as the existing units. He noted that the heat rate on the existing units is 13,500 to 14,000 BTU/kWh and would be 7,200 BTU/kWh on the new plant. Mr. Lunt explained that the current plant operates 2 percent of the time, and that the new plant would operate 40-50 percent of the time. He noted that the operation of the plant would increase to 60 percent in the out years. Mr. Lunt stated that it is anticipated that units 1 and 2 will eventually be retired. Mr. Hogan moved to recommend acceptance of the FY 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) report, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Mr. Hogan moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 5:52. Respectfully submitted, Eugene B.

Fiscal 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment FY 11 thru FY 15 Department Public Utilities-Wastewater M City of Dover, Delaware Contact Public Utilities Director Type Improvement Project # 11-WWW-02 Useful Life Unknown Project Name Inflow/Infiltration Removal Category Water/Wastewater New Project: No Account Number: Priority 2 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $10,404,400 Description This project will identify and correct areas in the sanitary sewer collection system that are deteriorating and allowing groundwater to enter the sanitary sewer system through cracked pipes and/or joints. Video investigations of the lines will be performed in-house to determine the condition of subject pipes which may help with the identification of sump pumps and other illicit connections to the system which will have to be removed by individual property owners. In conjunction with the Water Quality Improvement Projects, sanitary sewer lines within the project areas will be video inspected to determine main condition. A work plan will be developed based on the results of the investigation. Justification The wet weather experienced in 2003, highlighted the fact that we have an aging wastewater system that requires more attention to the condition of the old pipe network and more monitoring of illicit connections to the system. Inflow and infiltration are problems that all customers pay for since they are costs that are not assigned to an individual customer. Therefore, all customers are affected by expenses related to inflow and infiltration. Delaying or eliminating this project will result in continued higher treatment charges for wastewater flow to Kent County than is necessary. In addition, the reduction in available capacity in the City and county systems due to inflow and infiltration will reduce the capacity available for future growth.

All savings are cumulative. The wet weather which was experienced in 2003, exemplified the fact that the aging and deteriorating sanitary sewer system allows groundwater and rain water to enter the system. This in turn results in higher treatment charges from Kent County. In FY 2004, the Kent County Treatment Charge was approximately $89,000 greater than the Wastewater Adjustment Fee on average per month. In FY 2005, City Council approved a $0.45/Tgal rate increase on the City’s sewer rate ($0.25/Tgal in FY 2005 and $0.20/Tgal in FY 2006) to compensate for this problem. As a result of this increase, approximately $2.77 million has been transferred to the Wastewater Adjustment Fee fund, between FY 2006 and FY 2009, to reduce the deficit associated with this problem. Although this transfer is not continuing in FY 2010 it is critical to continue making improvements on a regular and planned basis to improve the integrity of the wastewater system. Weather occurs in a cyclic fashion and discrepancies between fees collected and charges received will likely happen again when groundwater and precipitation levels rise.

Fiscal 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment FY 11 thru FY 15 Department Public Utilities-Wastewater M City of Dover, Delaware Contact Public Utilities Director Type Improvement Project # 11-WWW-03 Useful Life Unknown Project Name SCADA Equipment Technology Upgrade Category Water/Wastewater New Project: No Account Number: Priority 3 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $484,800 Description This project involves the replacement of antiquated and/or obsolete remote terminal units (RTUs) at sewage pumping stations with new up-to-date serviceable SCADA equipment. Microwave radios, antennas, and enclosures would be upgraded as needed. The RTU and radio are the reporting equipment for the SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) which reports, on a constant basis, the status of alarms at the City's pumping stations. The RTUs that are being replaced are outdated and unable to be repaired. Most of the equipment is installed in two steel cabinets mounted outside and are corroding. The new equipment is installed within a single fiberglass NEMA 4 enclosure. This is an ongoing project that started in FY 2008, and will be completed in FY 2013 Justification Replace failing antiquated equipment with completely new alarm reporting equipment to provide reliable SCADA system reporting and to prevent the need for costly non budgeted emergency repairs. Lack of alarms resulting in costly sewer backup claims. An RTU or radio failure would provide no advance warning of a failure and could result in costly sewer backup claims or sewage overflows into waterways. Equipment would become old, not supported, and obsolete. : Each Year: order equipment and construct cabinets and back-plates by December; complete installation by June. Stations being completed in FY 2010: Schoolview Pump Station, Lakeview Pump Station, Dover Post Pump Station, Hunters Pointe Pump Station, Silver Lake Pump Station and McKee Road Pump Station.

State/Del. Tech Force Main Rerouting Category Water/Wastewater New Project: No Account Number: Priority 4 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $313,300 Description This project was identified in the 2009 Wastewater Master Plan and the Kent County Central Transmission Bypass planning. It will reroute approximately 2,750 linear feet of eight-inch force main exiting from the Delaware State University Pump Station. The new force main will discharge into the upstream end of the new Rt. 13 Sanitary Sewer Interceptor at the end of West Rustic Lane. This project will entail the installation of approximately 750 feet of new eight-inch force main. Due to the requirements of this project, it will also include the rerouting of the Delaware Tech. force main through reverse flow utilizing the existing force main. Justification Rerouting the existing force main from the Delaware State University P/S will significantly reduce the total length of force main from the station and will reroute flows to City of Dover infrastructure. Flows from the pump station will no longer discharge into Kent County Station #2, however, the flows will deposit into the Kent County Central Transmission Bypass. This partially fulfills a city commitment made in FY 2003. Delaying or eliminating this project would result in continued stress on downstream infrastructure Prior Expenditures FY 11 FY 12 FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 Total 26,800 Construction/Maintenance 286,500 286,500 Total Total 286,500 286,500 Prior Funding Sources FY 11 FY 12 FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 Total 26,800 Water/Wastewater Fund 286,500 286,500 Total Total 286,500 286,500 Budget Impact/Other Produced using the Plan-It Capital Planning Software 5

Justification Upgrade the force main to meet the capacity requirements incurred by the previous extension and development of the collection basin. Pump station overload may result in a sewage spill into waterways or backup in a residence. The capacity of the pumping station was exceeded with the connection of the Heatherfield East, Cranberry Run, and a portion of Fox Hall West Addition subdivisions. The current capacity utilization is 125 percent. The force main improvements will lower the utilization to 75 percent. The force main upgrade needs to be completed prior to replacement of the aged station in the upcoming out years.

This scope of work will also include the removal of the existing wet well. The station will be eliminated due to the construction to occur on the Rojan Meadows Subdivision site. East Dover MHP will connect to the new Rojan Meadows pump station by installing approximately 400 lf of 12” gravity sanitary sewer. The existing Dover East station has exceeded its anticipated life expectancy of 20-25 years and the removal of this station can be justified because of the pump station being constructed at the Rojan Meadows Subdivision site. The pump station at Rojan Meadows will be sized to handle the Dover East wastewater and will discharge directly into the Central Transmission Bypass Justification The removal of the existing pump station will prevent the need for maintenance, and costly repairs to the system. The gravity sanitary sewer line will be beneficial to the City of Dover because of the low maintenance costs compared to the costs of maintaining and operating the existing pump station. Consequences of delaying or eliminating this project include the maintenance and expense for operating a station that is no longer required. This station was installed with the development of the East Dover Mobile Home Park in 1973.

The station has exceeded its life anticipated expectancy of 20-25 years and is in need of a capacity upgrade due to the increased growth in the basin Justification Replace the aged station with a completely new station to prevent the need for costly non budgeted repairs to maintain operation. Consequences of delaying or elminating this project could inlcude pump failure resulting in a sewage spill into waterways or backup in a residence. Because of the age of the pump station, certain parts are no longer obtainable, and replacement of equipment is costly. Design and bid in FY 2011; construction in FY 2012. This station was installed for the Dover Country Club Apartments when City sewer was made available to this area. The site was previously outside the City's service area and had its own on site sewer treatment system. Over the life span of this station, it has seen increased flows with the construction of Mallard Pond, Marsh Creek, and Westwind Meadows, and the extension of service to Fox Hall Drive and possible infiltration. Based on the monthly runtime hours, the station is currently operating at 130 percent of desired capacity. Staff has observed numerous pump clogs and failures in the past years. The Dover Country Club and Brandywine Condo sewer lines are old and possibly influenced by infiltration.

These funds can also be used to partner with private developers to oversize future mains or to install associated improvements to meet the long term goals of the utility. Justification Due to the age of the sanitary sewer system, it can be expected that system failures will occur resulting in capital expenses to repair or replace the failed component(s). In addition, missing opportunities to oversize or reroute mains will result in higher construction costs in the future. Delaying or eliminating this project would result in reduced ability to properly address system failures and missed opportunities to expand the system. This is an ongoing annual program. Emergency repairs are addressed as they occur. Emergency repairs are performed by private contractors or in-house crews as dictated by the scope of work. All costs for over sizing will be paid through negotiated cost and public utilities agreements.

The station is approaching its anticipated life expectancy of 20-25 years. The grinder pumps, rail system, and electric controls will be replaced. Justification Replace the aging station with a completely new station to prevent the need for costly non budgeted repairs to maintain operation. Pump failure resulting in a sewage spill into waterways or backup in a residence. Because of the age of the pump station, certain parts are no longer obtainable, and replacement of equipment is costly. Grinder pumps require periodic repairs and replacement to maintain efficient operation. During previous pump removal, staff has noticed leaking seals and instability in the rail system for the pumps due to corrosion. Although grinder pumps are less costly than standard pumps used elsewhere, they are only appropriate under certain conditions. As a grinder pump is still effective at this location, it will be replaced in kind.

The loop is to create a high point in the force main above the pumps to provide a column of water against the check valves. The existing force main was originally installed with a constant slope away from the station to the receiving gravity sewer manhole. The force main drains by gravity away from the check valves providing very little static water pressure to hold check valves closed. Justification Reduce maintenance time of cleaning check valves weekly and on-call or overtime pay when the pumps lose prime. Pump prime failure could result in a sewage spill into waterways or backup in a residence. Staff has observed numerous high wet well alarms due to pump loss of prime.

Projects to be included under this category primarily consist of replacement or relining of old unlined cast iron water main within the City’s water distribution system; system upgrades to improve system control; and utilization of a consultant to provide additional design and evaluation services, as needed. Recent research and data collections have produced a Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, based on several criterions to identify water mains that are in need of replacement or relining. Pipes will be upgraded according to the severity of the pipe condition, as well as coordination with the City of Dover’s Public Services Street Rehabilitation Program. In FY 2008 and FY 2009, the deep well contact chamber designs were completed and installed completed. Water mains have been replaced over this time frame in Washington Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, South Street and Pear Street. Operational efforts, such as flushing, will occur on a continuous basis. As part of the Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, water lines were identified throughout the City that requires replacement/relining. Using this as a guide the following water line rehabilitation projects are scheduled for FY 2011: Walker Road (phase 1 construction), Columbia Avenue Design, William Street Design, Ross Street Design, and West Street West Alley Design. Justification Water quality complaints have eroded consumer confidence in the City’s water supply as the water is perceived to be aesthetically unpleasant. In order to reduce complaints and potentially alleviate this problem, it is necessary to implement the improvements identified by staff, the 2006 Water Master Plan Update, and the FY 2006 Water Quality Evaluation. Delaying or eliminating this project will prolong customer dissatisfaction and further erode confidence in the City’s water supply. In addition, main rehabilitation and replacement, ensuring pipes do not significantly exceed the expected life cycle, is critical to provide a reliable supply of water for our customers and for fire suppression. Water leaks and breaks on older lines can have a significant impact on our ability to serve over time.

This project will be completed in FY 2011. Justification The City of Dover has recently experienced unnecessary electric outages resulting from issues involving transmission line protection. This project will examine the transmission system model; relay settings, coordination, and wiring. Utilizing a third party to conduct the field verification will ensure existing problems are identified in order to mitigate future outages. The field investigation will test CT ratios, equipment inputs, wiring and trip scheme. The field evaluations will be lead by highly skilled and experienced technical engineers insuring the reliability and safety of the City of Dover’s local electric grid. Additionally, the Public Utilities will purchase an electric system modeling software, enabling city staff to build a distribution model to add to this “corrected” transmission model. This modeling software will allow City staff to conduct system studies, which will decrease dependency of contracted firms. Consequences of delaying or eliminating this project include Continual electrical outages due to undiscovered problems.

This can involve a single line section or an entire residential neighborhood. Annual outage records are reviewed and selected areas are scheduled for upgrade to underground service. Additionally, this program funds the replacement of existing underground conductors and equipment that have reached their useful life and have started failing and require replacement. This project will be ongoing over the 12 months of the budget year. This account is used to upgrade any trouble areas during the year. The following developments are to be upgraded: Crossgates, Buchanan Acres, Greenview, and Blades Justification The number of storm and tree-related outages has been greatly reduced under this program and further improvements can be made to insure the most reliable electric service possible. Reliability has become one of most important factors to electric customers, second only to safety. The utility has responded by attempting to provide the most reliable system possible. Underground cable replacement is necessary as the useful, reliable, life of the original underground cable was 20–30 years. By proactively replacing this cable we will minimize outages and improve system reliability. In addition to cable replacement, overhead lines are replaced with underground to minimize outages caused by tree growth or animal contact. Lastly, overhead lines that have reached the end of their useful life are replaced with underground instead of rebuilding the overhead. : Continued outages lead to increased complaints from our customers and will lead to customer dissatisfaction. There will be increased costs for repairs made under outage conditions as well as loss of electric revenue.

Fiscal 2011 Five Year Capital Investment FY 11 thru FY 15 Department Public Utilities- Electric Eng City of Dover, Delaware Contact Public Utilities Director Type Maintenance Project # 11-ELENG-05 Useful Life Unknown Project Name Replacement of 69 kV Breakers Category Electric New Project: No Account Number: Priority 5 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $908,443 Description This is an ongoing project that involves the replacement of 69 KV breakers. Locations for the breakers to be installed include the following substations: Frazier and Danner Farm. Implementation of this project will allow for the replacement of several old and unreliable breakers allowing full utilization of the new 230 KV substation. The expected total project cost of $908,443 was spread out over a six-year timetable with completion in FY 2011 by replacing the last two units. Justification The 69 KV breakers in the transmission system vary in age and reliability. Currently there are 39 of these breakers in the transmission system. Installation of the 230 KV substation placed the breakers in a higher fault current environment than they are rated to safely operate in. This project will replace the most vulnerable breakers first and will eventually replace all of the oil-filled breakers with SF6 gas-filled breakers designed to handle the higher fault current. Additionally, at the time the breakers are replaced the control wiring and relays will also be replaced to bring the installation into current standards. Since these breakers have reached the end of their expected life, failure to replace them will result in miss-operation and either cause larger outages than necessary or cause greater damage to protected equipment. If the breaker failed on an interconnected customer, this failure could result in greater liability exposure.

They interconnect to other substations to provide load redundancy should there be a failure of an adjacent substation. Many of the older substation feeders have smaller conductors that cannot carry the load that is required during system peaks and emergency situations. This project would systematically upgrade these conductors to increase the capacity of the feeders as well as ultimately reducing system losses. Lastly, many of the feeder components have reached the end of their useful life and require substantial maintenance. Justification Due to the age and condition of the current feeders, delaying this systematic maintenance/upgrade program will result in reduced system utilization as well as detrimentally impacting future reliability. These lines are typically older, smaller, and are reaching the end of their life. This program will provide the needed systematic maintenance to the conductors, cross arms, switches, and insulators, as well as increasing system capacity hence resulting in more efficient operations by reducing line losses.

Install capacitor controllers capable of two-way communication to provide real-time monitoring and remote control operation. These controllers will be capable of switching the capacitors on and off to comply with system requirements. This project will also replace outdated substation meters with units capable of advanced metering such as power factor and harmonics to further analyze system performance. Lastly, distribution line recorders will be purchased and installed to provide power factor recordings to fine tune this operation. Justification Additional capacitance is required in order to meet system power factor requirements at the Delmarva Power and Light interchange point. This was substantiated through a load-flow study conducted by Shaw in early 2004 and distribution study by Wilson & Wilson in 2006. The current capacitor controls are not providing the granularity required to turn them off and on as required to meet both the power quality requirements of our customers and DP&L requirements. Additional controls are required to fine tune the systems operation. Without the additional capacitor banks and more importantly controls, the City may experience a low/high voltage problem at the customer level and/or the possibility of having to pay power factor penalties to Delmarva Power and Light.

This will ensure that when Unit 3 is called upon to operate that the plants staff will be able to start on bring Unit 3 on line with no outages. The project is estimated to be completed in 2011. The computer and ABB controls upgrade would allow the system to operate faster and be more reliable. Additionally, life cycle of these computer systems is typically 5 to 6 years. Justification The DCS computers were installed in March of 2003 as part of the Over-Fired Air Project. These computers are in service 24/7 and due to their run time and the life expectancy of the computers, the need to change out the computer and upgrade the ABB control system is consistent with COD IT protocol of changing out computers after five years. By upgrading the computers and the control software, the plant will have a more reliable system. Included in the software upgrade is an improvement in the redundancy of the EHC Computers. Due to the age of the computers, one of the computers could crash resulting in Unit 3 not be available to run when called upon.

Repairs to the stack lining and exterior will be made in order to allow continued operation of Unit 3. The current expectation is to perform the repairs in fiscal year 2014/15. A determination for the necessity of repairs to Unit 3 stack will be performed on an annual basis. An internal and external inspection will be performed by outside consultant in 2010. Justification Current plans are to contract for an external and internal inspection in 2011 to develop an action plan to extend the life of the stack as well as develop costs for the repairs of the stack by outside contractors. We will perform in-house inspections of the stack on an annual basis until 2015 at which time we will contract for needed repairs as determined by the 2011 and subsequent yearly inspections. Delaying necessary repairs could lead to more costly repairs in the future, unplanned forced outage on Unit 3, fall out of internal material upon the surrounding community and potential injury to employees. Earnings from the sale of capacity may also be affected. Due to the reduced operation of Unit 3, the plan is to inspect the stack in fiscal year 2010/11. The repair portion of the project has been moved out to fiscal year 2014 /15. The plan is to perform regular assessments of the internal condition to the stack, then determine when repairs may be necessary. Severe damage may move the repairs to an earlier date however the reduced run time of Unit 3 may afford an ability to postpone repairs to a later date.

Fiscal 2011 Five Year Capital Investment FY 11 thru FY 15 Department Public Utilities-Power Plant City of Dover, Delaware Contact Public Utilities Director Type Maintenance Project # 12-ELPWR-06 Useful Life Unknown Project Name Unit 3 Cooling Waterline Life Extension Category Electric New Project: No Account Number: Priority 4 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $375,000 Description This project will inspect and repair the underground cooling water line from the Unit 3 condenser to the cooling tower. A condition assessment and life evaluation will be performed on this pipe in 2012 to develop a repair/replace action plan to address the suitability for continued operation as well as extending the life of the piping beyond 2015. The actual repairs will be completed in 2015. The condition assessment will be completed in 2011 with the repair/construction work to be completed in 2015. The results of the condition assessment will determine what action plan will be developed. The budgeted costs assume repairs of the lines (2) from the cooling tower to the plant exterior wall. Justification The condition of the underground cooling water line has required numerous repairs over the life of the plant and is expected to reach its useful life in the 2012-2015 time period. It is expected that the repair frequency will accelerate over the next several years as the internal pipe coating continues to degrade. Delaying this project beyond 2015 will increase the risk of a failure causing an extended unit outage to repair or replace the failed pipe as well incur water spillage to the ground. Additional budget dollars will need to be allocated to repair/ replace sections of piping.

Fiscal 2011 Five Year Capital Investment FY 11 thru FY 15 Department Public Utilities-Power Plant City of Dover, Delaware Contact Public Utilities Director Type Maintenance Project # 13-ELPWR-01 Useful Life 15-20 years Project Name McKee Run Units 1 & 2 Stack Repairs Category Electric New Project: No Account Number: Priority 1 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $75,000 Description Repairs to the stack lining and exterior will be made in order allow continued operation of these units. In addition, an assessment will be made to determine the remaining life of the stack and also provide cost of any repairs required to extend the life of the stack for another 15 to 20 yrs. Due to the reduced operation of Units 1 & 2, the project has been moved out to fiscal year 2013. Plans to perform regular assessments of the internal damage to the common stack will determine when future repairs may be necessary. Severe damage may move the repairs to an earlier date however the reduced run time of Units 1 & 2 may continue to afford the plant the ability to postpone repairs to a later date past the proposed. The current expectation is to perform the repairs in fiscal year 2013. A determination for the necessity of repairs to Units 1 & 2 common stack will be performed on an annual basis. An internal and external inspection will be performed by outside consultant in 2011. Justification Current plans are to perform in-house inspections of the stack on an annual basis and to contract the repairs of the stack by outside contractors. Delaying necessary repairs could lead to more costly repairs in the future, simultaneous unplanned forced outages on both Units 1 & 2, fall out of internal material upon the surrounding community and potential injury to employees. Earnings from the sale of capacity may also be affected.

Included will be the main steam, hot and cold reheat lines as well as feed water and condensate piping. This program is intended to prevent any long term stress or flow induced pipe failures from occurring. Program development will be completed in the fall of 2014. The inspections will be completed during the spring 2005 planned outage. Justification High energy piping systems are subject to service related structural failure due to the high temperature service under which they operate. Additionally, lower temperature piping systems are subject to accelerated corrosion rates due to flow characteristics. Identifying any such piping before failures occur will prevent extended forced outage to make emergency repairs/replacement. Delaying this project could result in the failure of critical piping systems and subsequent lose of generation and or capacity. More importantly, component failure could also result in safety risk to personnel.

This project will be implemented in 2014 with long lead material purchases and installation in 2016. Justification This project is required to fund the purchase of all parts needed to perform a major overhaul on the unit based on estimated factored starts since unit was first commissioned and since last the Hot Gas Path. This project will span the course of two years. In Year 1, the majority of the parts will be purchased and services will be lined up for the actual installation on the unit in Year 2. Extended equipment and /or unit outage time will result from lack of funding this project. This will have a direct effect on the cost of energy during the extended outage time as well as increase future energy capacity charges. In addition, gradual degradation of the unit’s output could occur which would have a negative effect on the capacity rating of the unit and could result in catastrophic failure of the unit.

Fiscal 2011 Five Year Capital Investment FY 11 thru FY 15 Department Public Utilities-Power Plant City of Dover, Delaware Contact Public Utilities Director Type Equipment Project # 14-ELPWR-05 Useful Life Unknown Project Name McKee Run Hot Water Boilers Category Electric New Project: No Account Number: Priority 5 Time-Line: Total Project Cost: $70,000 Description This project will replace the 2 existing hot water boilers with smaller more efficient (90 percent or better) boilers. This project will tie in the Units 1 and 2 plant heating system to the hot water system. This project was originally set up for 2011. The plant Hot water boilers would only be supplying heat to the plant. The existing hot water boilers are 36 yrs old and have an efficiency of less than 85%. Justification A result of the conversion from residual to distillate oil as part of the pollution remediation project, the existing hot water boilers will no longer be needed to heat oil. Therefore the only load on the hot water system will be for plant heating. The existing hot water boilers are grossly oversized for this application and not suited for this seasonal operating mode. Additionally, the boilers are 36 years old and approaching end of life. Replacing the existing boilers with properly sized boilers will reduce costs on monthly gas usage and reduced maintenance on existing boilers. Installing more efficient boilers will also result in reducing the carbon footprint of the plant. The boilers are approaching end of life and are requiring more frequent maintenance. Repalcing these in 2014 will reduce the potential for experiencing system outages and more expensive repairs. Additionally, the sooner we replace the current boilers with the more efficient units the sooner we will realize payback on investment.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on March 22, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Leary, Mr. Salters, Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Hogan, Mr. Ruane (arrived at 6:03 p.m.), and Council President Williams. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Leary moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of the Hiring Freeze for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there are no positions to consider, the item could be removed. Mr. McGlumphy noted that there were no critical positions to be considered; therefore, no further action was required. Presentation - Summary of Pay for Performance (PFP) Employee Meetings Council President Williams reminded members that when the MAG overview of recommendations was presented to the Committee during their meeting of November 23, 2009, staff was requested to schedule dates for members of Council to meet with employees to assure their understanding and provide them with an opportunity to comment before the plan is presented to Council. Further discussion of the MAG Study was tabled until these employee meetings were held. She noted that all members of Council were invited to attend the meetings. After meeting with the employees, Council President Williams indicated that employee comments were returned to the department to verify accuracy, submitted to the City Clerk, and then forwarded to City Council. Council President Williams reviewed a Presentation of the Summary of Pay for Performance (PFP) Employee Meetings (Attachment #1). Referring to the statement in the Presentation that “employees are told that Council is responsible for current methodology”, Mr. McGiffin inquired what that methodology was. Responding, Council President Williams explained that this refers to the fact that Council implemented “across the board” pay increases, even though the pay for performance evaluation system was being used. She indicated that the same methodology for pay increases was provided for all employees regardless of whether or not employee goals were achieved. Council President Williams stated that increases were considered during the budget hearings, and a fixed rate increase for all employees was implemented to “correct” budgetary issues. She felt that Council was not given information regarding the effect this would have on employees. She indicated that, as a member of Council, she was not aware that employees who had completed a majority of their goals, or in some cases all of them, would be treated the same as those employees who did not complete their goals.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 2 Mr. McGlumphy explained that some employees stated that they understood that the methodology originally established was to provide pay increases based on performance, and they felt that the methodology was changed by Council when across the board increases were provided. As a result, he advised members that a majority of the employees relayed opposition. It was Mr. McGiffin’s understanding that Council took the action to provide across the board pay increases as a compromise measure due to the City’s economic situation at the time and that he was aware of the effect of Council’s action in this regard; therefore, the results were clearly Council’s responsibility. In response, Council President Williams stated that when she voted in favor of the increase, it was her understanding that the total 3.5% increase would be doled out according to pay for performance procedures. When employees questioned the across the board raise, staff indicated that this was the result of Council’s action and that they would need to talk to Council regarding this matter. Mr. Hogan stated that his interpretation of Council’s action was the same as that of Mr. McGiffin. He requested further explanation regarding the statement that “many executive decisions are conducted without awareness or knowledge of Council”. Responding, Council President Williams stated that employees provided information and data regarding executive decisions that were made without the knowledge of herself, Mr. McGlumphy, or other members of Council who were present at the meetings; however, the employees were advised that these decisions were vetted through Council. She reiterated that she is serving as a messenger of information provided by employees and assured members that she could review her notes to provide more specifics regarding this matter. Dr. Jones questioned the supervisory authority/responsibility of the Human Resources Director based on the correspondence and information regarding Mr. Peter Gregg (see Attachment #1) and on the presentation under goal setting, bullet number two (2). Responding, Mr. DePrima, City Manager, indicated that there is some confusion regarding the term “pay for performance”, which refers to the evaluation system, but is being used in discussions which go beyond the evaluation. With regards to Mr. Gregg, he explained that the concern is with the overall compensation system and not pay for performance. Unfortunately, he stated, the term “pay for performance” has been used to discuss both systems. Mr. DePrima advised members that there is an appeal process for the pay for performance evaluation process. He stated that there is no appeal process for the compensation system, which is relevant to the concerns relayed by Mr. Gregg. The compensation system is conducted by consultants and is outlined in a report to the committee; therefore, there is no employee appeal process. The compensation system addresses compensation points and has nothing to do with Mr. Gregg’s evaluation. With regards to the role of the Human Resources Department, Mr. DePrima stated that this department is responsible for determining whether the grade indicated on an evaluation is justified by the language provided. This justification is required for both high and low grades. In addition, Mr. DePrima stated that the Human Resources Department is also responsible for assuring that the goals are detailed (strategic, measured, attainable, realistically high, and time bound). The only role the Human Resources Department has with the compensation system is to assure that the data provided to the consultant is accurate.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 3 Mr. McGlumphy suggested that Mr. DePrima review the presentation provided and respond to the committee within the next month. Responding, Mr. DePrima stated that there is an expectation among employees that Council will be taking action regarding this matter. He reminded members that staff presented the MAG overview of recommendations to the Committee in November 2009 and that there were 21 recommendations for improvements to the pay for performance system, there was a policy presented, and that employees have waited for four (4) months for action. It was his feeling that to delay action for another month would be unfair and requested that the MAG overview of recommendations be discussed at the next Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting. Mr. Leary moved to recommend that this matter be tabled until the next Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting and that the Chair do his best to assure this is an agenda item to allow for discussion at that time. The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. Latest Estimate (LE) for Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Mrs. Teresa Tieman, Senior City Administrator, reviewed the Latest Estimate (LE) for the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget. She advised members that the purpose of the report is to provide City Council with a recent estimate of the City’s Budget for FY 2010. Mrs. Tieman explained that the report contains a series of revisions that were made to the City’s Budget, which include the Prior Year Balance, Loss of Municipal Street Aid, impact of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Settlement, and revised expenses for power supply and generation that positively impact the Electric Fund. She also noted that during the City Council meeting of January 25, 2010, members were provided with the Quarterly Revenue Report as of December 2009, which included deductions in revenue as well as any changes to the Utility Forecast models and have been reflected in the latest estimate. Mrs. Tieman also indicated that the impact of the reduced number of furlough days for non- bargaining, FOP, IUE, and IBEW employees from 11 to 9 days is detailed in the report. Hiring freeze reductions, which include reductions in benefits, are also reflected in this update. A second shift of ambulance coverage and the estimate for the winter snowstorms of 2010 are also included in this latest estimate. Mrs. Tieman advised members that the General Fund balance projection will not meet the financial policy criteria. She explained that the fund balance is equal to approximately 7.87% of revenues and, while not compliant, it is close to the policy of 8% of revenues. Mrs. Tieman stated that the Water and Wastewater Fund balance exceeds policy guidelines of 12%: Water is 25% ($676,265 in excess) of revenues and Wastewater is 27.6% ($533,562 in excess) of revenues. She indicated that the Electric Fund balance is in compliance with policy, noting that the current fund level is 11.6% of the fund balance. Responding to concerns of Mr. Ruane, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that most of the Water/Wastewater projects are being financed this year through loans and bonds. He noted that the biggest expense in the Wastewater fund is the Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) expenses. Mr. DePrima stated that the City would have to take action to address the shortfall in revenues and reminded

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2010 PAGE 4 members that this was mentioned during the Council Retreat on January 25, 2010. He assured members that departments are taking every action available to reduce expenses; however, he noted that although the large decrease in expenses is necessary, it is difficult when all capital projects have been eliminated. Presentation - Comprehensive Annual Financial Report - Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009 Due to time constraints, Mr. McGlumphy stated that the Presentation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009 would be deferred until the next meeting. FY 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Due to time constraints, Mr. McGlumphy stated that the FY2011 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) would be deferred until the next meeting. Mr. Salters moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:59 P.M. Respectfully submitted, William P.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE A Special Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting was held on March 24, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. with Chairwoman Russell presiding. Members present were Mr. Ruane, Mr. Hogan (departed at 11:35 a.m.), Mrs. Horsey, and Mr. Lewis. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hogan moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Ruane and unanimously carried. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application Review Mrs. Harvey, Community Development Manager, noted that members would be serving as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Review Panel for the CDBG Applications for Fiscal Year 2010. As such, members were provided a list of applicants and staff reports summarizing each application, a CDBG interview schedule, a breakdown of Federal resources available for use and the total amount of grant funds requested, CDBG scoring criteria, and a CDBG Grant Application Review Sheet for each applicant. She requested that members summarize their evaluation of each application on the CDBG Grant Application Review Sheet and provide a score based on information presented. Mrs. Harvey explained that the numbers in parenthesis next to each measure indicate the maximum score for a given category and that the maximum total points is 100. Mrs. Harvey advised members that the total grant available for activities is $227,434 and explained the allocation requirements of the grant, as follows: CDBG Funds Allocation $274,000 Anticipated Program Income $ 10,292 Total CDBG Funds $284,292 20% of the grant must be allocated for $284,292 Program Administration x.20 $56,858 Grant Funds Available for Activities $227,434 Total Grant Funds Requested $433,938.37 Mrs. Harvey cautioned that, according to CDBG requirements, public service activities cannot exceed 15% of the total grant amount ($42,643). Oral Presentations Each applicant was provided an opportunity to make oral presentations before the committee, as follows: GEM Properties - 217-219 West Reed Street - $14,350 Mr. David Pierson and Mr. Matthew Davis, Principals for GEM Properties, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $14,350. Mr. Pierson explained that the request is to introduce Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades to two (2), first-floor, one (1) bedroom apartment

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 2 units. Mr. Pierson stated that plans for the project include: 1) creation of two (2) ADA compliant ramps on either side of the apartment house; 2) installation of new wooden gates at the front of the apartment dwelling on both the left and right sides to facilitate ease of access to the dwelling units; 3) construction of a fence to divide the common backyard into two (2) distinct backyard areas; 4) installation of two (2) new ADA compliant back doors; and 5) creation of a “garbage can keeper” on the front, left side of the building. He noted that the dwelling currently houses four (4) low to moderate income residents. In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Pierson noted that on-street parking is available for the dwelling and there is no curb cut-out at the present time; however, the proposed ramps will provide gradual access from the existing sidewalk. He noted that the purpose of the proposed gate would be to provide security and that a gradual slope will be provided to grant access to the building entrance. Mrs. Harvey indicated that, because the property is located in the Historic District, the project would require review by the State Office of Historic Preservation. First State Resource Conservation & Development Council, Inc. (RC&D) - $40,000 Ms. Christine L. Stillson, Project Director for the First State Resource Conservation & Development Council, Inc. (RC & D) Emergency Home Repair Project, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $40,000, to make repairs to homes in Dover which are owned by very low income homeowners. Members were provided a memo dated March 24, 2010, summarizing Ms. Stillson’s remarks (Attachment #1). She stated that projects undertaken by her organization typically include repairs of an emergency nature which involve heating systems, electrical work, plumbing, and roof repairs, as well as smaller requests such as window replacement and construction of ramps for handicapped individuals. Ms. Stillson noted that, to date, eight (8) homes within the corporate limits of Dover have been repaired with the CDBG funds received last year. Over the past five (5) years, RC & D has repaired 38 homes as a grant sub-recipient at an average cost of $2,500 per home. She noted that the homeowners served represent a diverse population. Ms. Stillson stated that the funds requested would provide repairs to an estimated ten (10) to fifteen (15) homes and the average repair would be approximately $3,200. She noted that the organization strives to preserve the existing stock of homes in Dover by supporting rehabilitation of owner-occupied, low income homes. She emphasized that the need in this area continues to be great. Connections Community Support Program - $15,000 Ms. Sarah Weimer, Grant Manager, and Ms. Leslie Catts, Director of Homeless Services, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $15,000, stating that funds are being requested to finance motel stays for homeless people in Delaware. Ms. Weimer explained that there is frequently a transitional period before homeless individuals can be accommodated in local shelters or permanent supportive housing, and the provision of hotel vouchers helps to bridge that gap. She noted that two (2) years ago, Connections received a $15,000 CDBG grant and, over a five (5) month period, was able to assist 69 homeless people. In response to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Weimer indicated that most clients are accommodated for a one (1) week period at an average rate of $250-275 per week.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 3 In response to Mr. Hogan, Ms. Weimer indicated that very few clients are repeat users, estimating that out of the 69 clients served during the previous year, one (1) or two (2) returned for additional services. People’s Place II, Inc. - $9,338.37 Mr. Del Failing, Associate Director, People’s Place II, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $9,338.37, and advised members that the funding request is to upgrade the heating/ventilation/air conditioning system at the Ruth Dorsey Emergency Homeless Shelter. He noted that this upgrade will improve the energy efficiency of the HVAC system and will result in lower propane and electric bills. Responding to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Failing explained that People’s Place II, which is based in Milford, was established in the 1970's and provides services as far north as Townsend and as far south as Millsboro. He noted that the organization combats domestic violence by providing a variety of services such as counseling, a 24-hour hotline, psycho-educational groups for batterers, treatment for victims of violence, including youth and adults, and programs for veterans. Mr. Failing also noted that the organization operates residential shelters and foster care homes. He stated that People’s Place II assumed ownership and operation of the Whatcoat Shelter in Dover in October of 2009 and is performing a number of renovations to this site. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Failing stated that the organization has not explored State or Federal funding sources for grants related to projects that promote energy efficiency; however, he concurred that this would be a good option to explore for other planned projects. Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity (CDHFH) - $40,000 Ms. Jocelyn McBride, Executive Director, Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity (CDHFH), reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $40,000, and explained that the request is to rehabilitate the property located at 101 Jefferson Court in Dover. She explained that, in 2006, the City of Dover declared this dwelling to be a dangerous property and began an environmental clean- up. At the completion of the clean-up, the property was boarded up and, due to the economy, the City was unable to sell the property until October 2009, when CDHFH purchased the property. The property was completely gutted by the City, and the integrity of the structure remains solid. Ms. McBride noted that it is the goal of CDHFH to renovate the dwelling to be a simple, decent, affordable home for a moderate-income family. She stated that this project will benefit the surrounding property owners, as well as the family who will occupy the home. Ms. McBride read into the record a statement submitted by Mrs. Renai Comstock, one of the prospective property owners, as follows: “Hello, my name is Renai Comstock, and my family was selected as a partner family with Habitat for Humanity. We chose a home to be rehabbed in the City of Dover, 101 Jefferson Court, to be exact. We chose this location because my husband works in Cheswold and I work in Dover, so it is kind of in the middle for us. Also, my children go to school in the Caesar Rodney School District, and it is important for us to reside in Dover because Dover has been very welcoming to our family since we moved here in March of 2008. We will not only have the opportunity to purchase our

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 4 own house, we will now finally have a home - a place for our children to feel safe and have no more worries for our future. Habitat has been a Godsend to our family. So, in closing, I would like to just say thank you to Habitat for this generosity, and to the City of Dover for having such a beautiful city to call home.” Ms. McBride stressed that CDHFH has operated very successfully in the area, having built 12 homes within Dover City limits, none of which have been foreclosed on and two (2) of which have been paid off. She indicated that this project would be the first renovation project for the organization, noting that typically their dwellings are constructed from the ground up. Diamond State Community Land Trust (DSCLT) - $40,000 Mr. Van Temple, Executive Director of the Diamond State Community Land Trust (DSCLT), reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $40,000, and advised members that the request would allow for the purchase and thorough renovation of one (1) single-family home in Northwest Dover Heights, Lincoln Park, or surrounding areas for a low-income family. He noted that one of the criteria for selecting the home will be the roof orientation and size, so that solar panels can be installed to provide energy for solar hot water and possibly electricity generation to achieve maximum benefit from these renewable energy investments. Mr. Temple provided members with a cost breakdown for the Dover Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Request (Attachment #2) for review. In response to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Temple indicated that, under this program, the homeowner will purchase the home; however, DSCLT will retain ownership of the land. The homeowner will sign a 99-year renewable lease for exclusive rent of the land for a set, below-market fee of $40 per month. Mr. Temple explained that the rental fees collected by DSCLT help to fund the organization. In addition, he stated that, under this model, DSCLT homes are affordable not only for the first time buyer but for future buyers of the property as well. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Temple explained that CDBG funds would be used for the purchase of the land rather than for renovations. Mrs. Harvey confirmed that this is an eligible use of CDBG funds. Mr. Hogan suggested that pictures of properties and a map with a description of the location would be useful in evaluating applications in the future. Tolano and Cathy Anderson - 301-305 West Loockerman Street - $62,500 Due to the failure of the applicant to appear, Mr. Ruane moved to recess the meeting until 12:30 p.m., seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried. Meeting recessed at 11:35 A.M. There being no objections, Mrs. Russell reconvened the meeting at 12:35 P.M.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 5 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that Mr. Hogan would not be present for the afternoon portion of the meeting and noted that he had provided a score for all applications reviewed during the morning session. City of Dover Streets Project - $100,000 Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, and Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $100,000. Mr. DePrima reminded members that the Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) program was created by the Federal government to assist local governments in providing for the needs of low and moderate income residents. He explained that municipalities are often shouldered with providing infrastructure repairs such as street, sewer, and sidewalk work, in neighborhoods where property values are not high and there is not a great amount of tax income. For this reason, he stated, the Federal government incorporated a category for public infrastructure improvements within the CDBG program. Mr. DePrima explained that the City of Dover is facing reduced revenues and increased costs and needs funds for street improvements in low and moderate income neighborhoods. In addition, he reminded members that three (3) to five (5) years ago, the Committee made a commitment to fund street improvements over a series of years and, as a result, new sidewalks were constructed and repaving was done in the area north of Loockerman Street on New, Queen, Kirkwood, and West Streets. He noted that, if funds were approved, target areas would likely include Mitscher Road or other streets where a majority of residents are low or moderate income, or streets located in a low or moderate income census track. He added that the downtown area south of Loockerman Street should also be addressed at some point. Mr. Koenig explained that the City of Dover manages just over 100 miles of streets and alleys and this network is growing. He noted that there are a number of streets throughout the City which are aging and the past winter has been very hard on pavement. He explained that street funding is typically drawn from the City’s General Fund as part of an annual appropriation request received from area legislators under the Community Transportation Program (discretionary funds that legislators can use for transportation-related projects), or has been funded through CDBG grants. Mr. Koenig noted that receiving CDBG funds would allow staff to leverage additional funds for an overall City street program. He advised members that a large number of individuals would benefit from the program. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima noted that South Queen and South New Streets are both in very bad condition, but neither are in a low to moderate income census track; therefore, residents on these streets would have to be surveyed to prove a majority of low and moderate income. Mr. Koenig stated that South New Street from Loockerman Street down to Water Street is the third worst pavement section on the project list and was last paved in 1982. He estimated the cost of the project at between $225,000 and $250,000. He requested the opportunity to return to the Committee with a proposal for an allocation for the streets program from future CDBG allocations. Mr. DePrima noted that receiving a multi-year commitment from the Committee to address a particular area, possibly the South New and South

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 6 Queen Street area, would enable staff to develop an area-wide strategy to present to legislators and City Council in order to leverage funds from the General Fund and discretionary funds. Mr. Ruane stated that if funds were allocated to the Streets Project, his preference would be to know specifically which area would be targeted. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, indicated that some City streets are located in an approved low to moderate income census track and, therefore, automatically meet CDBG requirements, whereas other areas would potentially require a survey. She noted that the 2010 census data should be available next year and could alter the requirement for a survey. City of Dover - Housing Rehabilitation Program - $60,000 Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $60,000, and explained that the request is for funds to be used in the City of Dover’s Housing Rehabilitation Program to rehabilitate up to five (5) houses. She noted that the program’s 2008 waiting list has been depleted and all applicants have been served. In January, the waiting list was reopened and 20 applicants have been placed on that list. Mrs. Harvey stated that remaining funds from last year’s program will be used to repair four (4) to five (5) homes, and another four (4) to five (5) homes are planned for renovation in the fall, so a total of eight (8) to ten (10) homes will be rehabilitated during the year. She noted that the program has been very successful and there is a great demand for it. Mrs. Horsey stated her support for this program as it assists in bringing houses up to code and allows residents to continue to occupy their dwellings. Home Ownership Assistance Program (City of Dover Community Development Project) - $50,000 Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reviewed the grant application, in the amount of $50,000, and explained that the request is for funds to provide five (5) first time home buyers with down payment assistance or closing costs to purchase affordable housing in the City of Dover. She noted that there is a great need for this program, that all FY 2009 project funding has been expended, and that she has received numerous calls of interest from potential homeowners and housing providers in Dover. Review/Scoring of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Applications Members reviewed and discussed the various CDBG grant applications to develop a score for each applicant. Mr. Ruane moved that the application for grant funds for 301-305 West Loockerman Street not be reviewed any further by the Committee, due to the failure of the applicant to appear for the interview, although staff provided him with a letter notifying him of the date and time of the scheduled CDBG review and discussed this further with him by telephone. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Horsey and unanimously carried.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 7 Mr. Ruane suggested that future application packages contain a statement indicating that a time and date will be set for application review by the Committee and that failure to attend will result in withdrawal from consideration. Mr. Lewis suggested that the package include a request to the applicant to return a written acknowledgment of receipt. Mr. Ruane expressed his support for the City of Dover Streets Project; however, felt that targeted areas should be identified so that funds are not blended into the General Fund. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that funds could not go into the general program and must be spent on an eligible street. She noted that the Committee could request by motion that staff provide a list of recommendations of targeted areas; however, she noted the challenges of the timeframe involved since there is no way to anticipate what legislators will allocate for streets during the next fiscal year. After a period of discussion, members conducted a review of each grant application and provided individual scores on the CDBG Grant Application Scoring Sheet for all applicants (as on file in the Office of the City Clerk), and staff tallied the scoring sheets. Members agreed to fund the First State Resource Conservation District (RC&D), Connections Community Support Program, Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity, and the City of Dover Housing Rehabilitation Program at 80% of the requested level, and to allocate the remaining funds to the City of Dover Streets Program. Based on the scoring of the grant applications, it was noted that the Committee supports the distribution of the CDBG grant monies, as follows: Amount Amount Applicant Requested Recommended First State Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC & D) $ 40,000 $ 32,000 Connections Community Support Program $ 15,000 $ 12,000 Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity $ 40,000 $ 32,000 City of Dover Streets Program $ 100,000 $ 63,434 City of Dover Community Development Projects: Housing Rehabilitation Program $ 50,000 $ 48,000 Homeownership Assistance Program $ 50,000 $ 40,000 Mr. Ruane moved to recommend approval of the distribution of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies based on the scoring of the grant applications conducted by the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried. Mrs. Horsey moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 2:11 P.M.

ATTACHMENT #1 PR & CE Committee Meeting of 03/24/10 Date: March 24, 2010 To: Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee City of Dover From: Christine L. Stillson, Housing Programs Director Emergency Home Repair Project First State Resource Conservation and Development Council, Inc. 1221 College Park Drive, Suite 100, Dover, DE 19904 RE: GRANT REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, 2010-2011 The Emergency Home Repair Project’s umbrella organization is the First State Resource Conservation and Development Council, Inc., otherwise known simply as RC&D. The RC&D Council is a 501 ( c )( 3) nonprofit organization. The Emergency Home Repair Project is one of several programs of the Council. I have enclosed in your packet more information about the RC&D Council and its ongoing programs. I am here today in support of our funding request for a CDBG Sub-recipient grant for the coming Fiscal Year 2011. We are requesting $40,000.00 for the Council’s Emergency Home Repair Project to address repair issues of homes located in the City of Dover. The Project assists very low income homeowners to make repairs to eliminate a housing condition considered to be an immediate health or safety hazard. There is no cost to the homeowner, but the homeowner is encouraged to participate in the repairs or the solution to the repair problem. The homeowner must qualify as low income as defined by HUD income quidelines. We use total household income when qualifying homeowners for assistance. ( ie: home with 3 persons: $26,800) We have been working quietly in Dover (and throughout Kent and Sussex Counties, for that matter) for many years, but as the need and the cost of repairs have increased we looked for partnerships—in this case, with the City of Dover through the CDBG grant program. We have very much appreciated being a partner and recipient of CDBG grant funds for the past five years.

SOME FACTS To date, over the past five years, thirty – eight (38) homes have received repairs through the CDBG sub-recipient grant funding to the RC&D Emergency Home Repair Project. Eight (8) homes have received repairs so far this year through this year’s grant ( during the period July through March, 2010). Repairs have traditionally averaged approximately $ 2,500 per home, with a range this year from $ 985 to $4,700. The higher cost repairs involved roofs. Over the years, typical repairs included: replacement of furnaces, electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, construction of entrance steps and wheelchair ramps, modifying bathrooms for safety and accessibility, replacement of broken windows, roof repairs or replacements, and the installation of hardwired smoke/co detectors. The repaired 38 homes were located throughout the city, including addresses on the following streets: South Kirkwood West Bradley North Kirkwood Forest Forest Creek North Governors Carvel Drive Barrister Place North Queen Ann Crawford North West Court Bertrand North New Carol Spruance South Hancock South Little Creek River Quail Hollow Drive Primrose Court Homes receiving repairs this year to date were located on Schoolhouse Lane, Quail Hollow Drive, Primrose Court, Forest Street, Carol Street, North Kirkwood, and North Governors. COMMENTS REGARDING DOVER’S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN In reference to the current goals of Dover’s Community Development Strategic Plan, the RC&D Council is in full support of the Plan and its housing goals, specifically to “preserving the existing housing stock.” To the point, the RC&D Council supports the rehabilitation of owner occupied homes of families who are low income. And as a current sub-recipient of CDBG funds, we can attest to the need for continued funding to make repairs and bring substandard housing up to code whenever possible. We look forward to your continued support in making homes safer within the city limits of Dover.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on March 24, 2010, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Slavin presiding. Members present were Mr. Hogan, Mrs. Russell (arrived at 6:10 p.m.) , Mr. Davis, and Mr. Harmon (arrived at 6:06 p.m.) . Councilman Ruane was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Davis requested the addition of Item #4, Discussion - Concerns Related to New Traffic Light on Rt. 13 (at Gena’s Steaks and Kirby & Holloway Crossover). Mr. Hogan moved for approval of the agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. Truck Route Traffic: West of Dover through Bicentennial Village Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that a complaint was received from a resident regarding noise and danger to pedestrians due to commercial trucks traveling on residential roads, including Walker Road and Independence Boulevard extending to Superfresh/Ace Hardware. The complainant requested that signs prohibiting trucks over 5,000 lbs., except for local deliveries, be placed in these areas. Mr. Koenig stated that this request was approved and that signs would be installed on Walker Road and just past the northbound entrance of Superfresh by March 26, 2010. Mr. Koenig stated that the same resident requested the installation of similar signs on Walker Road from Saulsbury Road to Kenton Road, on College Road from Saulsbury Road to Kenton Road, and on Fire School Road. He indicated that a letter to the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has been drafted and, if approved, City-maintained signs will be installed at those locations as well. Mr. Koenig further mentioned that there might be a need for signs to warn drivers that truck traffic is prohibited on certain streets to help police with enforcement. Mr. Koenig stated that another component of the complaint was noise from motorcycles and loud mufflers; however, he noted that these issues cannot be addressed by the Public Services Department. Police Chief Jeffrey Horvath stated that after the signs have been installed, soft enforcement, with the issuance of warnings, will be in effect for up to two (2) weeks. He further mentioned that the noise complaints are city-wide and will be enforced with tickets; no warnings will be issued. Responding to Mr. Gary Laing, DelDOT Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that the sign verbage “Local Deliveries Only” is acceptable to eliminate the need for custom signs. In response to Mr. Harmon, Chief Horvath stated that information regarding “local deliveries only” could be placed on the bottom of electric bills and on the City’s website. Mr. DePrima noted that notifications would be sent out to the tenants at Greentree Shopping Center.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 2 Mr. Hogan moved to recommend approval of the actions presented by staff and requested staff to provide an update during the April 12, 2010 City Council Meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Harmon and unanimously carried. FY 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Members reviewed the FY 2011 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, offered to respond to any questions that members might have regarding the submitted report. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. DePrima stated that the road life of a police vehicle is approximately four (4) to five (5) years. In response to Mr. Hogan, Mr. DePrima stated that the engine and rescue trucks for the Fire Department are on a three (3) year cycle and the ladder trucks are on a fifteen year cycle. Mr. DePrima advised members that he will hold a meeting with Fire Chief Sean Christiansen, Mrs. Teresa Tieman, Senior City Administrator; and Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, to discuss longer finance terms on fire vehicles and fire vehicle replacement cycles. Mr. Hogan moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. Update on Wyoming Mill Road Project (Gary Laing) Mr. Gary Laing, DelDOT Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, advised members that a public workshop to discuss the Wyoming Mill Project would be held at the Pitts Center on April 21, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Mr. Koenig advised members that all phases of the construction project are fully funded and that no additional matching funds would be required. He noted that utility construction will begin in the Fall of 2010. Mr. Laing noted the following: • DelDOT has approved a request from the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to prohibit left turns from westbound North Street unto southbound West Street. • Construction for the four (4) way traffic signal at the entrance/exit to Eden Hill on North Street will begin as early as April. • Construction on the transit hub will begin shortly and is funded through Recovery Act monies in the amount of $4.4 M; buses from that location should begin running as early as December 2010.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2010 PAGE 3 Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Laing stated that the North State Street repaving project should begin sometime in April. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Laing advised members that paving on south Governors Avenue should begin in mid-to-late April; however, this has not been confirmed. Discussion - Concerns Related to New Traffic Light on Rt. 13 (at Gena’s Steaks and Kirby & Holloway Crossover) Members were provided a letter from Mr. Clive Sadler regarding the traffic light installed at the intersection of Route 13 and Lepore Road, between Kirby & Holloway and Gena’s Steaks (Attachment #1). Mr. Slavin advised members that since this item was added to the agenda, no action would be taken; however, the topic would be open to discussion. Mr. Laing advised members that prior to the installation of the light, motorists were making poor decisions, resulting in severe accidents, including side collisions and fatalities. The light was installed to give motorists a safe amount of time to make a left turn. Mr. Slavin requested that copies of any correspondence regarding this matter be forwarded to the City of Dover. Mr. Davis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Hogan and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:32 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Timothy A.

They were both taken into custody on those charges today by Dover Police Department Detectives. The initial charges now pending in the Court of Common Pleas will be terminated and the matter will proceed forward in the Superior Court. • On Thursday, February 4, 2010, Detectives investigated the robbery of the Shore Stop Convenience Store located on Forrest Avenue. The robbery occurred when two unknown black male suspects entered the store wearing ski masks and one of the suspects brandished a handgun. The suspects demanded cash from the clerk. • On Thursday, February 4, 2010, Officers from the Drugs, Vice, & Organized Crime Section and Safe Streets Section executed a traffic stop on a vehicle and located a total of 1783.6 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and a loaded .45 caliber handgun. • On Tuesday, February 9, 2010, a female victim was at WT Smithers using the ladies bathroom when the defendant, who is not known to the victim, forced his way into her bathroom stall. The defendant then began to punch the victim in the face and also struck her in the arm with a beer bottle. The victim was able to escape from the defendant and fled from the bathroom. The defendant then fled from WT Smithers and two of the victim’s male acquaintances were able to give foot pursuit. The acquaintances were able to catch the defendant and held him until police officers from Dover PD arrived on scene. A further investigation revealed that the defendant had grabbed two other female's buttocks in WT Smithers prior to assaulting the victim.

Report to Mayor and Council February 2010 Page 4 Major crimes and activities that occurred during the month of February continued: • On Monday, February 22, 2010, an unknown black male approximately 6'00" wearing a black pullover Hooded Sweatshirt entered an apartment at Brandywine Court and produced a handgun. The suspect then removed several electronics and USC before fleeing in an unknown direction. • On Monday, February 22, 2010, an unknown white male approximately 6'00" 190 lbs entered the business and grabbed a 30 pack of beer. He then exited the store without paying and when the clerk confronted him outside, the suspect produced a handgun and fled. • On Friday, February 26, 2010, a black male suspect shot another subject after the two were involved in a physical altercation inside the Loockerman Exchange.

Follow up investigation and some of the stolen property from the incident, led detectives to the identity the defendant. He was apprehended in Liberty Court and taken into custody without incident.

Planned units to date: (11,757). Public Information All pre list information mailers have been printed and mailed. Approximately 9100 Residential Data mailers have been delivered to the City of Dover for bulk mailing as of July 22nd. As of 10/09/09, 707 Data Mailers have been returned by property owners from which 84 incorrect photos have been identified by property owners. Press release updating public on the status of the revaluation program to be published in City of Dover’s Quarterly News Letter within the next several weeks and will appear min the Dover Post in December. Residential Data Collection: As of 9/25/09; (9,149) first calls had been made. Planned units to date: (9,200)

Total Refusals: 170 6% of Contact Interior Refusals (Interior Information & Exterior): 1490 51.5% of Contact Interior Refusals (No Interior Information & Exterior): 58 2% of Contact Interior Inspections: 1175 40.5% of Contact Estimated: 759 8% of the time Vacant Bldg.: (259 unoccupied;13 abandoned) 272 3% of the time No One at Home: 5224 57% of the time. Contact: 2892 32% of the time. Approximately 60 properties that were classed as residential on the 2008 Roll were flagged during residential data collection as being commercial conversions. Once commercial data collection has been completed these will have been resolved. Commercial Data Collection: As of 11/20/09: units to date: 1205* Planned units to date: (1205)* Exempt Data Collection: As of 11/6202009: units to date: 425* Planned units to date: (425)* Residential Pre-Review: As of 11/20/2009: 9,149 units completed. Planned units to date (9,200)* Data Entry: As of 11/20/09: 11,758 properties had been entered into the IAS World 2009 file. Planned units to date: (11,758)* * Planned units to date reflect numbers extracted from IAS after the 2008-2009 rollover. Apart from the total number of occurrences of active(current) parcel identifiers, the parcel counts within the individual categories of Commercial, Exempt and Residential were determined by counting the number of “CLASS” occurrences; C, E, R, assuming these classifications represented parcels improved with buildings and excluded vacant land parcels. In the end the actual number of improved parcels will differ from those assumed in the “units to date” category above since many parcels assumed to be improved turned out to be vacant. To avoid this confusion in the future, all vacant land parcels have been assigned the classification of “V”. The distinction between Exempt and non-Exempt is addressed in the Land Use Code; [(LUC). --- E00 and C00 respectively)]. Income and Expense Request: The Assessor’s Office has mailed Income and Expense forms to all commercial properties. As of 11/20/09, 775 had been returned. Of the 774, 353 are either owner occupied or exempt and 422 have supplied income data, of which 390 have been entered into spreadsheets that will be utilized in developing income models. Outstanding Issues: Resolution of lot size discrepancies. The lot size for any parcel in IAS is calculated from the Land record and is displayed in the CALCACRES field of the Parcel record rather than being a fixed field. There are 2,478 parcels with no land size in the CALCACRES field of IAS that do have land size records in the Kent Co. property record data base. There are 2,451 parcels with CALCACRES in IAS that differ from the Kent Co. records by 4% or more. The 4% was chosen as an arbitrary threshold because the Kent Co. land record apparently rounds lot size. This threshold could be recast at a higher rate subject to the Assessor’s review. Additionally there are a number of parcels (473) in IAS that have no lot size nor any match in the Kent Co. GIS data base. These have been given to the Assessor for resolution. As of 11/6/2009, approximately 1300 lot size discrepancies have been resolved. Land valuation will proceed. Any changes made to lot sizes in IAS by the Assessor’s office will be communicated to Tyler so as to track changes to value.

VALUATION Land Formatting: All land1 will be classified as either Primary or Residual according to whether it meets the zoning threshold. All land less than 1 acres will be formatted in square feet otherwise in acres. 1. That is the majority of land. Other land types to be employed; Secondary; Waterfront; Waste. Residential land models have been tested and loaded into IAS. Residential cost factors have been been updated and tested. Land and residential building cost have been applied to the residential data- base and tested against the sales data- base2. MRA(Multiple Regression) MRA modeling has been completed and applied to the residential subject data-base. The MRA Model was derived from an analysis of sales and plotted back to the sales data-base. The following ratio statistics summarize the application of both Cost and MRA to the sales data-base. Median ratio of Market Estimate and Cost estimate to time adjusted sales price. Mean ratio of Market estimate and Cost estimate to time adjusted sales price. MARKET COST Agg. Total market value of sales divided by total value of time adjusted sales prices. Median 0.96 0.95 Total cost value of sales divided by total Mean 0.97 0.97 value of time adjusted sales price. PRD. Price Related Differential. Mean Agg 0.96 0.95 Ratio divided by Agg ratio for both Mkt. PRD 1.016 1.013 and Cost. A measure of assessment pro- COD 6.75 8.19 gressivity or regressivity. COD. Coefficient of Dispersion. The average percentage deviation from the Median ratio. The statistics enumerated above are all well within the standards established by the IAAO. Once final review is complete these statistics will be recalculated as there will be changes resulting from the review. Final review of residential values will begin the week of November 9, 2009. Sales Database: Because of market conditions, only sales for 2008 and 2009 (mid Sept.) will be used as the comparable sales set. It is possible that sales for the year, 2007 could be added back to the sales base. It’s desirable to have at least 10% of the improved residential base be sale properties and it is common in mass appraisal practice to use sales from the three years prior to the valuation date, provided those sales are adjusted for time (market conditions). The trend analysis done by Genie Flynn demonstrates a gradual decline in sales prices over the period beginning January, 2007 and ending November, 2009. At issue was the determination of how abrupt the decline has been over the three year period and public perceptions about that decline. The evidence shows that there is no risk to accuracy by employing the 2007 sales. ind MONTH AVG ASR TREND MONTH SUGG TREND DIFF
