Council President Hogan declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council is not in official session and cannot take formal action. Mr. EShed Alston, 46 Arnold Court, reminded members that his previous requests for consideration of ordinances and concerns are not being considered by Council for action (See Open Forum Segment of the Regular Council Meeting of July 12, 2010).

Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, indicated that there was a concern with the low bid; therefore, staff would like the opportunity to further evaluate the bids. Mr. Leary moved for approval of the agenda as amended, seconded by McGlumphy and unanimously carried. Council President Hogan indicated that Item #8, Monthly CIP Report - May 2010, was inadvertently left off of the Consent Agenda and requested that it be amended to include this item.

REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF REZONING APPLICATION - PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 217 AND 223 MCKEE ROAD, OWNED BY MOR-KATH-RIC, LLC A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider rezoning of property located at 217 and 223 McKee Road, owned by Mor-Kath-Ric, LLC, consisting of 1.12+/- acres. The property is currently zoned R-7 (One Family Residence) and subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is RM-1 (Medium Density Residence) and subject to the COZ-1. (Ordinance #2010-16; Tax Parcels: ED05-067.15-02-02.00-000 and ED05-067.15- 02-01.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-10-06; Council District: Fourth).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 5 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 12, 2010 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on July 12, 2010 with Chairwoman Russell presiding. Active Recreation Plan Review: The Arbors - 1051 College Road (C-10-02) Members were provided the Active Recreation Area Plan for the Arbors Condominiums located at 1051 College Road for their review and recommendation as a part of the Conditional Use Site Development Plan. The Conditional Use Site Plan is to permit the construction of an apartment/condominium building with a total of 48 units. This parcel has been subject to several previous applications. The most recent application for development was C-07-05, which proposed a Planned Neighborhood Design for a Senior Housing Option. The Recreation Plan, as submitted with the current application, differs significantly from previous applications. This parcel was subject to a recent rezoning (Z-09-05), changing the zoning of the property from R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) to RG-2 (General Residence Zone). Mr. Michael Albert, Planner II, advised members that the subject property consists of one (1) parcel of land totaling 4.32+/- acres. He explained that the Active Recreation Area is located in two (2) distinct locations within the site, and proposed amenities include a gazebo/picnic/tot-lot playground area, as well as a walking path. Staff submitted the following recommendations and comments regarding the Active Recreation Area Plan: 1. The proposed plan meets the area requirements for the Active Recreation Area. The plan is required to provide 10,000 S.F. of Active Recreation Area and it is proposing 10,600 S.F. of Active Recreation Area. 2. Staff recommended approval of the proposed Active Recreation plan. The site must cater to a wide variety of people and must provide recreation opportunities for them on a relatively small lot. The combination of a walking path to College Road and the sitting/picnic facilities provides opportunities for adults. The tot-lot playground caters to children who may reside in the apartment building as well. 3. The following items should be included on the Plan to clarify the construction of the recreation area improvements: a. Provide lighting around the Active Recreation Areas. b. Provide trash disposal/collection for the playground area. 4. The tot-lot playground should be geared towards children aged 5-12 in order to allow for the greatest usage of the area among residents.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 6 5. The applicant was reminded of the requirements for construction phasing of the recreation area, as associated with the development of the residential units. Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling units completed, except that one hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space areas shall be completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20) percent of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be issued for dwelling units unless the requirements of this section are met. 6. There shall be provisions which ensure that the common open space land (including Active Recreation Area) shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained. The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such open land or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership and maintenance of all common open space, i.e., a Homeowners Association. The organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance, and taxes on the common open space. a. Add a note on the Site Plan regarding who is responsible for maintenance, insurance, and taxes on the common open space. 7. In the event that major changes and revisions to the Conditional Use Site Plan occur in the finalization of the Plan, contact the Planning Office. Examples include reorientation of buildings, relocation of site components like stormwater management areas, and increases in floor area. These changes may require resubmission for review by the Development Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, or other agencies and commissions making recommendations in regards to the plan. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Greg Rishel, Pennoni Associates, advised members that the applicant is aware of the recommendations submitted by staff. Mr. Jordan Ashburn, Ashburn Homes, indicated no objections to these recommendations. The Committee recommended approval of the Active Recreation Plan Review for The Arbors - 1051 College Road, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Request of Maple Glen Homeowners Association to Amend Active Recreation Area Members were advised that the Planning Office received a letter from the Maple Glen Homeowners Association requesting permission to remove the playground equipment in the subdivision and replace it with a picnic/cook-out area and horseshoe pits. The horseshoe pits are already installed. Because the Active Recreation Area is part of the approved subdivision, the requested change must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee and ultimately approved by the Planning Commission. Members were provided a copy of a letter from Ms. Carolyn Akin, Vice-President of the Maple

Paj 7

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 7 Glen Homeowners Association, explaining the reasons for requesting the amendment to the Active Recreation Area for Maple Glen. On behalf of the Association, Mrs. Laura Shernofsky advised members that the request is being made since the demographics of the neighborhood no longer support the need for the playground equipment for 3-5 year olds and due to the high costs of maintaining the equipment. In its place, she stated that the Homeowners Association would like to create an area for cookouts that would facilitate community gatherings. To this end, the homeowners have already relocated a table and bench to the park area and have voluntarily financed the building and installation of a horseshoe pit adjacent to the table and bench. In addition, Mrs. Shernofsky advised members that the homeowners have discussed the possibility of installing shuffleboard courts when it is financially feasible. She stated that the Maple Glen Homeowners Association requested permission to remove the playground equipment, level and seed the area, and, when their financial situation will allow, install a permanent picnic grill in the area, and she inquired if these changes would suffice as a recreational component for the community. Staff provided members a summary of the Active Recreation Plan that was approved by the Planning Commission as part of the Subdivision Plan in 2002. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that staff supports the request with the stipulation that the homeowners take the actions they have indicated. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that, to her knowledge, this is the first request for an amendment to an Active Recreation Area. She stated that the Dover Code is not prescriptive regarding the handling of changes to approved recreational areas; however, she stated that the Code is specific that such areas are a part of the Subdivision Plan and that homeowners associations are required to maintain these areas in perpetuity. As a result, she felt that it was necessary to bring this request through the process utilized for approval of the Active Recreation Area. Mr. Ruane noted that the demographics of neighborhoods change constantly and, although he understood the reasons for the request, he relayed concern with the lack of guidance for the process and its effect on future neighborhood associations. Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Zachery Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the requirement for maintaining such areas in perpetuity refers to the requirement that the land remain as open space. Clarifying, Mrs. Townshend stated that the Code indicates that improvements are required to be maintained by the homeowners association and does not provide guidance regarding improvements which no longer suit a community=s needs. Mrs. Horsey felt that the Committee should be flexible in allowing homeowners associations to make these types of determinations if they are willing to finance and maintain such changes. She suggested that staff review the Code to determine if an amendment is required.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 8 Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Phillip Shernofsky, President of Maple Glen Homeowners Association, stated that the issue was discussed at an annual general membership meeting, which was open to all homeowners. At that time, one (1) of the families with younger children suggested the amendment. Mr. Shernofsky assured members that a majority of the homeowners support the proposed amendment. The Committee recommended approval of the request of the Maple Glen Homeowners Association to amend the Active Recreation Area, as stipulated in their letter of request. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Semi-Annual Report - Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover Since July 2009 Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, provided an updated report of employment statistics for the 14 largest employers in the Dover area (attachment to Committee minutes) and reminded members that this information is updated and presented to members on a semi-annual basis (the last report was presented on February 22, 2010). Although the unemployment rate throughout the City of Dover has remained constant at 9.5%, Mr. Neaton noted that several employers have increased the number of employees. Mr. McGlumphy requested a more comprehensive report which includes details regarding small businesses, such as the number of businesses opened and closed within the last year. He noted that there are many closed businesses and empty buildings in the downtown area, as well as along Route 13. He suggested that information be provided regarding specific businesses that have closed, as well as new businesses that have taken their places, when applicable, in order to reflect the net result. It was his opinion that, although the report provided to members is helpful, it does not provide an indication of the City=s actions, since the City is not instrumental in the hiring of employees for some of the businesses listed. With regards to the goals and objectives of the Economic Development Office that were provided to members, Mr. McGlumphy noted there is a strong focus on the Downtown Dover Partnership and requested that this focus be expanded outside the downtown area. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Neaton indicated that the City maintains a list of commercial and industrial properties located within the City of Dover. He confirmed that, in addition to monitoring retail vacancies, the Economic Development Office provides updated information to local realtors and works with manufacturers to encourage retaining or relocating businesses in the City. With regards to the Garrison Tract, Mr. Neaton stated that the site plan was near completion. He indicated he was working with Macquarie Energy Limited regarding this matter, would be meeting with State Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 9 (DNREC) officials for permitting, and had a meeting scheduled with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) on July 13, 2010. He advised members that he has already met with a professional marketer regarding the development of a marketing plan after the site plan is completed; however, he noted that there is limited funding available for this purpose. Once the plan is completed, Mr. Ruane requested that members be provided an opportunity to review it. The Committee recommended acceptance of the Semi-Annual Report - Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover since July 2009. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). UPDATES The following updates were provided to members: Puncheon Run Watershed Action Team Update Mr. Scott Koenig, Public Services Manager/Director of Public Works, advised members that staff met with the Kent Conservation District and that a grant was obtained from the Clean Water Advisory Council for flood plain work adjacent to the pump station and bridge on Mr. Joseph Petrosky=s property. Staff met with Mr. Petrosky to discuss an overflow channel and redirection of water from Woodbrook into the channel. He assured members that Mr. Petrosky has indicated his concurrence with the project. Mr. Koenig advised members that there is a limited timeline for the first phase of this project due to the expiration of grant funding. He anticipated written correspondence regarding this project within the next 30-45 days. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Koenig stated that he has requested the inclusion of Puncheon Run flood plain mapping with the project and should know the results within the next couple of months. Planning and Funding for New Library Mr. Zachary Carter, Parks and Recreation Director, reviewed updated information regarding planning and funding for the new library. He reminded members that $2.5M was requested from the State of Delaware Bond Bill. Since a total of $3,284,357 in Bond Bill monies has been received, he stated that only $1.7M will be requested next year, rather than an additional $2.5M. He advised members that fundraising efforts continue to be successful. Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Carter indicated that the total project is estimated to cost $22M and that this cost will be updated as the project moves forward. He assured members that costs associated with this project will be monitored closely and that detailed expenditure reports will be provided to members once construction begins. Should there be a shortage in funding, he stated that proposed plans will be presented to the Committee for their review. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

Paj 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 10 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the report of the Status of FY 2008-2009 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects which was provided to members. In response to Mr. Ruane regarding the Downtown Dover Partnership Youth Employment Program, Mrs. Townshend stated that grant monies can be carried over to the next fiscal year. Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, projected that funds would be expended by the end of August and relayed that he has requested an extension through that period. Mrs. Townshend assured members that such extensions are typically granted as long as funds are being expended and the extension does not jeopardize the City=s ability to meet the CDBG timeliness standard. Schutte Park Space - Boys and Girls Club/CDSA Mr. Darryl Tingle, Executive Director of the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club, advised members that, during a recent meeting, Mr. George Krupanski, President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware, indicated that the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club remains committed to building a facility in the Schutte Park area. However, due to the financial issues that many non-profit organizations are currently experiencing, he stated it was not possible to move forward at this time. He noted that a phased-in approach may be possible, if adequate funding is obtained. Mr. Tingle advised members that a retreat for the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club Board is scheduled for July 29, 2010, and that this issue will be discussed at that time. He assured members they would be kept abreast of this matter. Housing and Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Fund) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the City was awarded $1,426,740 for the acquisition and rehabilitation of foreclosed properties. A total of $1,206,990 has been expended on the acquisition of eight (8) properties and renovations for two (2) properties. The remaining balance, in the amount of $232,209, will be utilized for renovations. She indicated that one (1) property has been sold, one (1) property is under contract, and four (4) properties are being renovated. She reminded members that the Dover Community Partnership, the Diamond State Community Land Trust, and the Connections Community Support Program are the three (3) partner agencies that purchased the properties. Comprehensive Plan Implementation Status Report Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that her staff has been focusing on three (3) major projects, including the evaluation and update of Historic District guidelines, development of ordinance amendments for Recreation and Open Space (ROS) Rezoning, and rewriting the environmental protections portion of the Comprehensive Plan. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Townshend stated that there has been minimal negative feedback received from homeowners regarding the proposed ordinance amendments for the ROS

Paj 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 11 Rezoning. She noted that approximately 150 properties within the City would be brought forward for rezoning in conformance with the proposed ordinance amendments and that approximately 3,000 notices were mailed to owners of properties proposed for rezoning and those within 200' of affected areas. The information was also posted on the City website, at the library, and at City Hall. Mrs. Townshend indicated that approximately 150 phone calls were received from the public requesting clarification and that two (2) property owners relayed concerns, one of whom was Mr. Petrosky. She indicated that the proposed ordinance has been revised to address Mr. Petrosky=s concerns and will be presented to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation to City Council. Mr. Jess McVay, 7 McBry Court, stated that, although he resides outside of City limits, due to close proximity, he was provided notification regarding the proposed Recreation and Open Space Ordinance and was present at the meeting in order to get a better understanding of the proposed amendments and their possible effects. Responding, Mrs. Townshend agreed to meet with Mr. McVay following the meeting. Mrs. Townsend noted that staff is working with realtors, homebuilders, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), and the Sierra Club to update the environmental protections provisions of the Comprehensive Plan to increase their effectiveness. She anticipated providing the draft to members for their review during the September or October meeting. Youth Advisory Committee Mrs. Russell advised members that the Youth Advisory Committee is on hiatus for the summer and will resume meeting in September. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 12, 2010 The Utility Committee met on July 12, 2010 with Chairman Ruane presiding. Briefing on State Energy Bills (Consideration of SB 119 Renewable Portfolio Standards was Deferred by Committee on June 28, 2010 Due to Time Constraints) Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, introduced Mr. Patrick McCullar, President and Chief Executive Officer, Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC), and explained that the City is one of nine (9) municipalities in the State of Delaware who are paying members of the Corporation. He stated that one of the functions of DEMEC is to monitor energy related legislation. Mr. McCullar reviewed a presentation of a Summary of Energy Related Legislation Passed by the 145th General Assembly and Effects on Municipal Electric Cooperatives (attachment to committee minutes).

Paj 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 12 In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. McCullar noted that an analysis has not been performed to determine municipalities= current progress toward meeting the goals established by the State; however, this will be part of DEMEC=s planning process. In addition, he noted that DEMEC is committed to the offshore wind project planned for the Delaware coast and is doing all it can to encourage moving this project forward. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. McCullar stated that local city and town councils have the option of administering an independent energy plan or charging DEMEC with the responsibility of constructing and implementing a plan on their behalf. He suggested that the most efficient approach would be for all nine (9) municipalities to allow the DEMEC Board of Directors (which would include a City of Dover representative) to guide policy decisions and direct DEMEC on implementation. He explained that different municipalities may choose different approaches. Concurring, Mr. DePrima noted that the DEMEC Board has not yet met to determine how the organization will be structured; however, he stated he currently favored learning how administration could be accomplished collectively with other municipalities for greater efficiency and flexibility. He assured Mr. Snaman that the City=s interests as a leader in the field, having instituted a solar project and made a commitment for wind power, would be monitored and protected. Mr. Bonar encouraged Mr. DePrima to pursue additional manufacturing facilities in the area. He felt it important to inform others that green energy is not cheap and will increase the cost of electricity for at least the immediate future. Concurring, Mr. McCullar noted that renewable energy currently is at a premium compared to energy from traditional sources and will be for several years. He stated that, as investments are made, technology will improve, costs of technology will decrease, and at some point parity with carbon- based energy will be achieved. He explained that caps were included in the legislation to avoid extreme run-ups in retail rates in the first five (5) years. Mr. McCullar noted that, in the future, it will be more practical to engage in larger, community-based renewable projects, similar to the Dover SUN Park, rather than small-scale projects. He stated that DEMEC was created by municipalities in 1979 to perform these types of capital finance investments. Mr. McCullar explained that DEMEC has A-rated credit in the financial markets, has bonds that are very much in demand, and obtains the lowest rates possible. He stated that bonds for a $7M substation in the City of New Castle recently sold at 2.92%. Mr. McCullar indicated that allowing DEMEC to finance and build these types of projects can bring value to the enterprise. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. McCullar explained that the Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) is a quasi-governmental agency created by the legislature several years ago which will have control over a substantial amount of funds and will decide how renewable energy and energy efficiency

Paj 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 13 projects are performed in the State of Delaware. He explained that DEMEC does not have votes on the SEU board at this time; however, the State is creating a renewable energy task force and the municipalities will have a seat on that task force. The task force will be charged with making recommendations on how to best move forward in achieving renewable energy goals and energy efficiency goals in Delaware. Mr. McCullar stated that DEMEC has been assured that the SEU will be listening closely to the recommendations of the task force. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. McCullar noted that Senate Bill 267 addresses solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal renewable energy. Mr. McCullar stated that DEMEC=s goal in considering the legislation is to ensure that provisions are implemented in way that is useful to the State of Delaware but does not cause unintended harm to end-use customers. Mr. Ruane commended Mr. McCullar for working with the General Assembly, expressed his appreciation, and stated that the City would continue to cooperate with DEMEC. The Committee recommended acceptance of the report. Mr. Ruane requested that Mr. DePrima and Mr. Ronald Lunt, Public Utilities Manager, provide members an update regarding the implementation of State energy-related legislation at the meeting scheduled for September 27, 2010. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Review of Utility Related CIP=s (Electric and Water/Wastewater) (Deferred by Committee on June 28, 2010 Due to Time Constraints) Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that the report provided to members reflects the status of projects as of April, 2010. He noted that a number of smaller projects at the Power Plant were completed and several others at the Water/Wastewater Plant were delayed due to financing. Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mr. Lunt stated that the South Governors Avenue project is progressing, water lines are being placed, a cut-in for the hospital was completed during the week of July 5, 2010, and preparations have been completed for putting more facilities on the electric system. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima stated he would inquire as to possible internal problems creating delays for moving the utilities related to construction of the new library. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. DePrima explained that the pumping station situated on the former PW2 property is operated by Kent County. He noted that the City often receives

Paj 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 14 complaints regarding odor in the area, which are forwarded to the County. The Committee recommended acceptance of the report. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). PACE/NAES Monthly Report (May) Members were provided the PACE/NAES Monthly Report for May. 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 reports, they welcomed any questions. Mr. DePrima noted that May 2010 was a hotter month than normal, resulting in a small amount of energy generation and an $8,700 net value to the City. He noted that the City continues to operate below budget projections for the cost of providing power. He stated that demolition, including removal of old coal chutes, has begun behind the power plant, and expenses for this project were reduced due to the current high cost of metal. He further explained that the project would remove liability due to very old steel structures on the premises and would also free up property for construction in the future. Mr. DePrima also noted that the Power Plant management approached him to discuss the possibility of adding an engineering staffing position to the plant and possibly eliminating an administrative position due to increased demands on power plant operations. He stated that more detailed information on this matter has been requested, and PACE, as the asset manager, will be asked to evaluate the proposal. Mr. DePrima stated that increasing the capacity value of the Combustion Turbine (CT) was being considered. He noted that this matter was discussed previously and not found to be cost effective; however, a cost/benefit analysis utilizing a new technology will be performed. In addition, he noted that PJM is beginning to create a new trading market for Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC=s), so the City could trade, buy, and sell SREC=s. In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima relayed that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering proposed legislation related to a cap and trade bill, Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) legislation, and regulation of greenhouse gases; however, none of these proposed regulations have been finalized. The Committee recommended acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Reports for May 2010. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Mr. Ruane noted that Mr. McGiffin would stand in as Committee Chair during his absence throughout the months of July and August.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 15 By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 12, 2010 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on July 12, 2010 with Chairman Leary 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. Police Officer Members were reminded that, during their meeting of April 26, 2010, they reviewed a request to recruit for a Police Officer. At that time, members deferred consideration of the request until the incumbent of the position retired. Police Chief James Hosfelt explained that MCpl. Ralph Taylor would be retiring effective July 15, 2010, and reviewed a request to recruit for his replacement. He noted that filling the position is necessary in order for the Department and the City of Dover to remain compliant with the provisions of the Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS) grant, which City Council approved on September 14, 2009. In response to Dr. Jones, Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, stated that the Police Department utilizes a recruiting system that is separate from that used by other City departments. Chief Hosfelt noted that the position would be advertised nationally through several police publications, on the internet, and in newspapers in the Tri-State radius. He explained that the Department has had good results in recruiting officers from other departments in the Tri-State Area in the past. The Committee recommended approval to recruit for the position of Police Officer, as requested. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Police Dispatcher Chief James Hosfelt reviewed a request to recruit for a Police Dispatcher vacancy created by the sudden resignation of an employee. He noted that the Emergency Dispatch/911 Center is

Paj 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 16 currently manned by ten (10) dispatchers, and the authorized strength of the unit is 11. He explained that the starting salary of the new employee would be approximately $31,000 per year, and that the previous employee, who had over ten (10) years of service, earned approximately $50,000. He noted that procedure for advertising the position would be similar to that used by the Department to recruit for Police Officers. In response to Mr. Salters, Chief Hosfelt explained that, if this position was not filled, the cost of providing overtime pay for current employees to perform this function would exceed the cost of hiring a new employee. He noted that this was the only unit in the City that was not subject to furloughs during FY 2009-2010, due to the emergency nature of the work. He estimated it would take approximately two (2) months to fill the position. In response to Mr. Shevock, Chief Hosfelt stated that Police Officers will not be pulled from their regular duties to cover this position while vacant and indicated that interim duties would be performed by the 911 Manager and other dispatchers. The Committee recommended approval to recruit for the position of Police Dispatcher, as requested. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Proposed Resolution in Support of the Local Jobs Act Mayor Carey explained that the National League of Cities has requested support for passage of the Local Jobs for America Act by Congress. Members were provided a sample Resolution expressing support. He stated that he spoke with Mitchel Herckis, Principal Associate for Human Development and Public Safety, National League of Cities, who indicated that the City could receive as much as $3,995,865 per year for two (2) years, if this legislation is passed as written, and would also have the opportunity to apply for $1.2 billion in police hiring grants. He noted that the deadline for submission of a Resolution in support of the Local Jobs for America Act is the end of July. Mr. Ruane stated his support of such a Resolution; however, he suggested that its wording be significantly revised before it is brought to Council for a final vote. Mr. Ruane requested that the document be edited to be "less generic" and more specific to the current economic condition of the City, which he felt to be less severe than indicated in the Resolution. He specifically mentioned that references to "layoffs" did not apply. Mr. Ruane also requested that further information be obtained from the League of Local Governments before the Resolution is presented to Council, including the status of the bill in Congress and the role of the local delegation. Concurring with Mr. Ruane, Mr. Leary noted that references to "firefighters" and "teachers" should be removed from the Resolution.

Paj 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 17 Mr. Hogan concurred with the concept of the Resolution and favored the content of the last two (2) paragraphs; however, he felt Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 were in need of revision. Mr. Salters stated that he believed this bill had been rejected by Congress to this point; however, the National League of Cities was attempting to garner support for its passage. The Committee recommended to defer consideration of the Resolution until the meeting of July 26, 2010; suggested that Mayor Carey contact Mr. George Wright, Executive Director of the League of Local Governments, to determine the League=s standing on the Local Jobs for America Act and determine if it is still active legislation; and rewrite the Resolution in accordance with the suggestions made by members for discussion at the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting on July 26, 2010, and that, if the deadline is, in fact, the end of July, this item be forwarded to City Council for consideration the same evening due to time constraints. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). (See Agenda Item #7 considered during the latter part of the meeting.) Actuary Services Contract - Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits Mrs. Peggy Teal, Assistant Finance Director, reviewed a request to award a five (5) year contract to Milliman, Inc. for Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) actuarial and benefits consulting services. She explained that the $62,000 contract would include services to be performed from FY 2011 to FY 2016. Mrs. Teal noted that Milliman was selected because of their ability to perform both types of services requested and their convenient location in Wayne, Pennsylvania. She noted that the Request for Proposal included a provision to have one (1) actuary perform valuation services for both the Pension Plans and OPEB to create efficiency and cost savings in preparing data; previously services of two (2) vendors were used. Mrs. Teal explained that all proposals were reviewed for quality, experience, and qualifications of the firm and its staff, valuation fees, hourly rates, travel, administrative factors, and the amount of experience in the pension and medical benefits fields. In scoring the pricing of the proposals, the hourly rates for consulting services were considered, along with the valuation service fees. She noted that staff felt it was imperative to select a firm that could also meet the future needs of the Health Benefits Committee and provide consultation services at a reasonable overall cost. She indicated that ten (10) proposals were received, all of which indicated good qualifications and experience. A Response Rating Analysis was provided to members. Mrs. Teal noted that there were no local vendor or minority vendor preferences identified nor submitted with these proposals. In response to Mr. Salters, Mrs. Teal indicated that proposals were received from all over the United States. She indicated that Milliman is a national firm that has not previously served the City; however, references were checked and the firm was currently working with the Town of Smyrna. She explained that actuarial services for Pension were previously performed by Al Pike

Paj 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 18 of Pike Associates, who recently retired, and that Nyhart, who was one (1) of the bidders for this proposal, is currently performing these services for OPEB. The Committee recommended that the contract for Pension and Other Post Employment Actuarial Services and Benefits Consulting for FY 2011 - FY 2016, in the amount of $62,000, be awarded to Milliman, Inc. By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the Committee=s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). By consent agenda, Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 26, 2010 Except for the following time sensitive issue, the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report from the meeting of July 26, 2010 will be presented to Council during their Regular Meeting of August 9, 2010 for Council=s review and consideration. Proposed Resolution #2010-08 in Support of the Local Jobs for America Act During the Committee meeting held earlier this evening, members considered a request for a proposed Resolution in support of the Local Jobs for America Act. It was noted that this matter was considered by members during their meeting of July 12, 2010 and that action was deferred in order to allow time to revise the Resolution and obtain additional information. The committee recommended adoption of Resolution #2010-08 in support of the Local Jobs for America Act. Mr. Leary moved to recommend adoption of Resolution #2010-08 in support of the Local Jobs for America Act, seconded by Mr. McGlumphy and, by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent), Council adopted the following Resolution: A RESOLUTION PROPOSING THE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL JOBS FOR AMERICA ACT WHEREAS, the City of Dover employs 394 workers in jobs ranging from city administration to trash collection, and public safety; WHEREAS, despite signs of national economic recovery, the City of Dover continues to face significant budget shortfalls due to the loss of revenues from property taxes, construction permits, and real estate transfer taxes; and

Paj 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 19 WHEREAS, the loss of revenues is significant enough that it may force the City of Dover to keep important jobs vacant, including police officers, and others who provide critical services; and WHEREAS, such vacancies contribute to an increase in the lack of fiscal stability for this community, and further contribute to the nation=s unemployment rate just as the economy begins to recover; and WHEREAS, federal aid will be necessary if the City of Dover is to avoid reducing public services, increasing police and other job vacancies, or significant increases in taxes to pay the salaries of these employees. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Dover endorses H.R. 4812, the "Local Jobs for America Act," because it would assist cities across America including Dover, community- based organizations, and private employers to retain and hire new employees; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dover supports the funding levels proposed in this legislation, including: • $75 billion over two years to local governments and community-based organizations to retain or create public service jobs designed to ensure that city and other services are maintained; • $23 billion to local school districts for one year so that they may retain and create up to 250,000 new jobs; • $1.18 billion so that local governments may employ 5,500 new law enforcement and $500 million to retain, rehire, and hire firefighters; and • Funding for 50,000 on-the-job private-sector training positions. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dover supports H.R. 4812 because it would prevent state and local governments from having to choose between eliminating services and raising taxes; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dover supports H.R. 4812 because it would help stimulate local businesses and create additional jobs in the local economy; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Dover urges Congress and the President to adopt H.R. 4812 into law and fund the provisions outlined in the legislation immediately so that cities and towns across America can retain existing employees and provide employment opportunities in the public and private sectors. ADOPTED: JULY 26, 2010

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 20 Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). MONTHLY CIP REPORT - MAY 2010 By motion of Mr. Leary, seconded by Mrs. Russell, the monthly CIP Report for May 2010 was accepted by consent agenda (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Evaluation of Bids - System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Maintenance Contract Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the Public Utilities Department operates two (2) fixed System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to monitor and control 14 electric substations, two (2) power generation facilities, 23 water wells, one (1) water treatment plant, and 42 wastewater pumping stations. In addition, he stated that the Public Utilities Department operates the communication system for each location which communicates either through fiber optics or a radio system. Mr. DePrima noted that a SCADA Technician (a City employee) performed this function in previous years; however, when that employee retired, it was decided to disperse the duties of this position to current employees and issue a "support" contract to minimize expenses. Mr. Deprima advised members that the services provided under this contract will include supporting staff members who are responsible for the maintenance and repair of current SCADA components and assisting with the upgrade of obsolete equipment. In addition, he noted that the contractor will assist staff with troubleshooting and repair of the radio/fiber communication system and related components. Mr. DePrima stated that it was determined that this practice should be continued as this method has proven to be cost effective; therefore, proposals were solicited for a SCADA maintenance contract. Mr. DePrima advised members that request for proposals was advertised by the City=s Contract and Procurement Manager and two (2) responses were received. He stated that the low bid was received from Donovan Contractual Services (DSC) at $50.00 per hour. Mr DePrima explained that by structuring the contract in this form, the City could monitor the expenses and hire an employee if it is economically advantageous. He noted that contract values with DCS for the last two (2) years were $46,558 for FY 2009 and $24,650 for FY 2010 (through May). Staff recommended awarding the contract to Donovan Contractual Services (DCS) for one (1) year with the City=s option to annually extend the contract for a total of three (3) years. Mr. McGlumphy moved for approval of staff=s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Bonar and Mr. Ruane absent). Approval of Contracts - Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) - Municipal Discount Disposal Fee and Recyclable Material Agreements Members were provided a Municipal Discount Disposal Fee Agreement with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) for consideration. Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that a coalition of municipalities who contract directly with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority negotiated a new three (3) year contract with DSWA for Municipal Disposal Fees.

Paj 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 21 He explained that DSWA initially proposed charging a higher fee for disposal and rebating excess funds at the end of the year; however, municipalities were successful in negotiating removal of this provision from the contract. The $72.00 per ton fee started on July 1, 2010 and represents a 40% increase over last year=s fee. The fees will increase to $74.00 per ton and $76.00 per ton over the next two (2) years of the contract. The municipalities were not successful in convincing the DSWA to maintain the previous "Dry Waste" fee. All other language is similar to existing provisions. In addition, members were also provided a Recyclable Material Agreement with the DSWA. Mr. DePrima advised members that the municipalities were also able to negotiate free disposal of recyclable material waste for up to six (6) years. He explained that this gives the contracted municipalities even greater assurances than the new Universal Recycling Law provides. Although the municipalities were also able to negotiate a deferred payment plan, Mr. DePrima indicated that there is no advantage to this option since Dover=s budget is done on an accrual basis of accounting. He explained that municipalities that are taking advantage of the deferred payment option use a cash basis budget. Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to sign the DSWA Municipal Discount Disposal Fee Agreement and the Recyclable Material Agreement. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. DePrima stated that the Universal Recycling Legislation stipulates that the DSWA is mandated to accept recyclables at no charge at their facilities unless private sector facilities are developed. In theory, he explained that if someone were to develop a private recycling facility within a jurisdiction, the DSWA could charge a fee since an alternative option would be available. He reminded members that the Legislation mandated that every service provider offer a recycling program to its customers. He explained that those municipalities that utilize a private sanitation service company are not mandated to provide the recycling program; however, the company which the municipality uses for this service will be required to provide recycling. Mr. DePrima confirmed that, as a result of the Legislation, recycling has been mandated to all Delawareans. In response to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. DePrima indicated that there is not 100% participation in recycling by City residents and that he did not know the percentage of participation at this time. Mr. Salters relayed concerns with the weight of full recycling bins and the difficulty in moving them for collection. Mr. DePrima suggested that anyone wishing to obtain a smaller bin contact the City. Mr. Leary moved to authorize the City Manager to sign the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) Municipal Discount Disposal Fee Agreement (Exhibit #1) and the Recyclable Material Agreement (Exhibit #2). The motion was seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mr. McGlumphy and Mrs. Williams),

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 26, 2010 PAGE 29 one (1) mile radius. He stated that, unless the article was read very closely, individuals may be led to believe that the City=s public drinking water was being threatened by these pollutants. He assured members that the ground water pollution from the Dover Gas Light superfund site could not intermingle with the City=s water supply. Mr. DePrima advised members that the pollutants are 30 feet below ground and the City=s water wells are 300-500 feet below ground, and more importantly, he stated that these wells are contained in an aquifer topped by a thick layer of clay which protects the water. Mr. DePrima stated that he has confirmed this information with the project manager at the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and assured members that there are no threats to the City=s water. Mr. DePrima announced that residents will be receiving notices regarding the City=s recycling program. Beginning August 2nd, there will be a new recycling schedule, due to the City=s new contractor. He stated that, although recyclables will be collected the same day that residents= regular trash is collected, this will only occur every other week. The notices will also be provided to local newspapers. Mrs. Russell advised members of complaints received from residents of West Street regarding flooding that occurred on their street during a recent rainstorm. She suggested that the manholes or catch basins may need to be cleared. In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. DePrima stated that the City should be able to provide recycling services to all residents, including those residents whose trash is collected through the alleyways. Mrs. Russell moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 8:04 P.M. TRACI A.
