In 1885, Arbor Day was named a legal holiday and has since become a national event promoted by the National Arbor Day Foundation, whose mission is to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees; and WHEREAS, the City ofDover was named a Tree City USA in 2021 for the thirty second consecutive year by the National Arbor Day Foundation in recognition of the City's outstanding urban forestry program, which includes the maintenance of over 2,250 street trees by the Grounds Division.

These trees will also live as a part ofDover's rich history; and WHEREAS, the Delaware State champion American Elm on The Green may be the only living witness to Delaware's ratification of the United States Constitution that took place at the Golden Fleece Tavern in 1787, underscoring that planting and caring for trees is a special gift that one generation passes down to the next.

Lastly, clicking Talent Report will provide university data including top 5 programs and number of graduates. Linda Parkowski states website is very useful, she had company looking for healthcare expenditures and was able to pull up expenditures for healthcare by city. Diane Laird, asks, DDD has a lot of going on with Office of State Planning coordination for each city, getting DDD district, and value. Part of that is connecting to DPP information and on that site, they have market data. Is it from the same source and will it have exact data? Linda Parkowski responds this is Zoom Prospector. DPP has data for the whole state where we (Zoom Prospector) have it for Kent County, all of Milford and all of Smyrna. They are the same company and pull from same market data. Diane Laird states parking discussion is looking at other towns similar to Dover does it go backward if we do not know the name of City? Linda Parkowski answers, no, we have not found that is does. Current issue with site is making sure commercial and industrial data is up to date. Dave Hugg in the past we have not had access to this data in the past. When people call, they want the data now and not in weeks this site allows that. Secondly is a value that is available to anyone. Most time people looking at Dover or Kent County know more about it then we do, they won't be baffled by are marketing. They run a lot of analysis being able to know some of the data that they know and being able to talk to them on the same page is important. Dave Hugg states he is really anxious to start doing trend analysis to see what is happening over time to give us an idea of what the next couple of years will look like. Appreciate Linda and Shannon getting this site up and running and coming to present it. Linda Parkowski says Dave is so right most of the bigger companies have done their research, they have data sources, we are talking to a different data source for jobs portion that a site selector recommended to us. Every inquiry KEP gets they use this site, it is very efficient and very fast. Diane Laird, asks they have a couple of sites downtown that are large developmental prospecting opportunities if they are on the site? Diane Laird says the properties are not manufacturing or warehousing they are mixed use, residential, commercial, and retail. Linda Parkowski tells Diane if you send them to Shannon Heal, she can add them in there, and asks are they listed by a realtor? Diane Laird, Yes, they are. Okay if you send them to Shannon, she will get them on there. Mayor Christiansen says thank you Linda and Shannon for your presentation. Next, we will move on to Mr. Hugg. Mr. Hugg, in your presentation we have had several inquiries from committee members about diversity of the comprehensive plan on things that it does and does not address. If you could speak on that. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING UPDATE GIVEN BY DAVE HUGG Dave Hugg update on there is a lot going on that I do not always update on. List of what is happening now Us Corrugated final plans and permits have been approved and issued and begun site work. This is a big win for Dover and Kent County. Site plans have been approved for new Dover Middle School. In site planning with Page 43

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 4 Cassidy Commons which is a group of warehousing and small manufacturing buildings on Lafferty Lane. Built 4 or 5 of the initial plans out of 10 now have site plan approval for the balance of that project. Cassidy Commons is a nice incubator site for smaller medium size companies with 1-4 employees. City of Dover has been working with Landing Square where the new State Police Headquarters is being built. Landing Square has an office building in site planning which they have a tenant for. Landing Square were in yesterday for preliminary discussion for a new mixed use multi story building on the front side of that property with office/store front and residential above. This is interesting concept to reintroduce residential to bay road area. Expecting application very soon to some new warehouses and contractor yard on Lafferty Lane. Mr. Parkowski has property he is moving forward on. Received serious inquiries revisiting Stonebrook 1 and 2 off Denny's Road. Developments that never got started because housing has been slow to recover. Continuing design work with State for Family Court building looking at land acquisition and site design issues. Working with Tommy Carwash, Dupont Plaza, and several other projects around the City. DDP with Diane having high prospects about to jump off downtown. Quick summary of what happened in the last year wasn't a good year for retailors. Last year City of Dover lost A.C. Moore, Pier 1, 33 West, Macy's, Where Pigs Fly, Save a Lot, and Rite Aid. Our number in revenue is down from that. 300 business did not renew licenses heavily concentrated in small construction and retail. City of Dover picked up Crab de Jour, Hobby Lobby, Tender Bones, Red Robin, Us Corrugated, Avalon, LIDL, and House of Hope. We look encouraging a lot of closing buildings back filled quickly. 33 West good example closed end of the year and new tenant is about to move in with a new restaurant. Lastly, Dave Hugg shares data, today we work closely with Kent Economic Partnership and Delaware Prosperity Partnership (DPP) the City relies on them for data and research. John Taylor Research Director at DPP sent information to help understand what is going on in Dover and Kent County. One table is job loss 18 percent in Services 11 percent in Leisure this is State Wide. Kent County numbers chart shows where we took a hit. Important to track what is happening in the county. Unemployment Rate at City of Dover level April, May, June, July peak and recovering not as fast as County and State but still economy is recovering. The Comprehensive Plan is primarily land development plan. Shows how we hope future of City will evolve land uses will go, where to put industrial and commercial activities. It has impact on social issues it is not a social development or services plan. It is Economic focus more context where we can grow jobs and employers. Doesn't mean all those things aren't important it does talk about blight removal, trying to strengthen down town. Its focus is not specifically on training, job opportunities, and social kinds of issues. I agree with the Mayor Dover is looking pretty good and I think outlook is very good. MAYORS ANNOUNCEMENT Mayor Christiansen asks, does anyone have anything to bring before committee? Councilman Anderson, states good report today I hope people will tune in next Page 44

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 5 month to the Park and Recreation Community Enhancement Committee. There will be an item of interest for the members of this committee.

Rebel Cove coming in to 33 West, it was a 3-week turnaround from available sign in the window. Three other potential food concepts to open within 2021. Parking concept is still going on Wednesday at Noon, speaker from Old Pasanda California, will speak on using parking funds to go back into downtown. A solution regarding parking will be about summertime with implementation after that. Mayor Christiansen states, downtown is taking off like a rocket, 2021 will be the year for downtown.

(NCALL), and Delaware Page 46

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 7 State Housing Authority (DSHA) in finding homes for permanent residences. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that a portion of Section 102-113 provides a real estate tax abatement for residential development in the downtown target area. He advised that it is the program that is used extensively by NCALL, Habitat for Humanity and Milford housing, to provide an additional benefit to the those that are buying low-income houses in those neighborhoods. Mr. Hugg stated that it has been a very successful program. He noted that there is also a provision in Section 102-116 of the Code that relates to affordable apartment projects. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg advised that he did not believe there were provisions for fixing rent, but noted that he does not work with that program often enough. He stated that they have only used it one time in recent history. Mayor Christiansen noted that incentives were granted to Bayard Apartments when they were constructed. He stated that if there was not a mechanism in place, they should see if there is an incentive that the City can offer to address the issues that Mr. Neil is concerned with. Mr. Sudler asked if there would be any job opportunities for non-skilled, older constituents to obtain new skills for employment advancement. Responding, Mr. Hugg advised that proposed Ordinance #2021-06 does not address workforce issues. He stated that there are initiatives underway with both the Greater Kent Committee and the Kent Economic Partnership (KEP) to identify some of the workforce deficiencies and how to address them. Mr. Hugg stated that when looking at the potential target industries for Dover and workforce within 30, 45, and 60-minute drive times, there are adequate workforce resources available to meet those industry jobs. Mr. Hugg stated that those jobs are heavily dominated by distribution, warehousing, logistics, basic packaging, manufacturing, and they are great sources of entry level and lower skills. He noted that the other target industries are probably more skills-specific, such as business services, legal, accounting, and IT areas. He stated that the job inquiries they have looked at recently have been relatively solid skill requirement jobs. Mr. Anderson asked if there were any other zoning designations that would benefit from being included. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that they have a very attractive set of incentives for the downtown, both on the residential and the commercial side. He noted that they have the capability to assist people with their facade improvements, but they do not have an attractive set of incentives for business activities that are outside of the downtown and not $3 million or bigger. He noted that is something they may want to think about. Responding to Mr. Sudler regarding workforce development, Mayor Christiansen stated that it is a large part of what they discussed during the Economic Development Committee meeting. He noted that KEP certainly has recognized it and the one thing that they found in dealing with several employers that have wanted to come to Dover was that other employers have told them that while they have a workforce that wants Page 47

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 8 to work, there is a lack of work ethic. He stated that they are going to have to work on training people for these jobs that are going to come and they need to partner with the schools and develop employees that not only want a job, but are going to work when they get there. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2021-06, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell absent). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Membership - National Community Reinvestment Coalition (Actionable Item) Councilman Anderson provided an overview regarding Membership to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC). (City Clerk's Office Note: The National Community Reinvestment Coalition was incorrectly listed on the Council Committee of the Whole agenda and has been corrected.) Mr. Anderson advised that the cost for membership with the NCRC was $900.00. He noted that it was 30 years old, has 600 members and is based out of Washington D.C. He stated that the NCRC upcoming conference was $50.00 for two days of virtual training and networking and is dedicated to champion fairness and indiscrimination through economics. Mr. Anderson stated that NCRC wanted to recommend the Growth Initiative because it seems to fit the profile they are looking for. He advised that the initiative would offer help with workforce development and allow the City to deal with abandoned and vacant buildings and turn them into affordable housing. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Randy Robertson, City Manager, stated that the only thing they could not find was if their dues were paid on an annual basis. He noted that they did not know if it starts in a fiscal year or calendar year. Mr. Robertson asked what value the City would get in two and half months. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Anderson stated that the NCRC does not provide grant monies directly to municipalities, but the City would be creating partnerships with other nonprofits and churches. Mr. Anderson noted that it is based on the partnerships and community development corporations. Although the City has some, they are not currently funded. Mr. Anderson noted that one of the reasons he would like for the City to join now is so that they can put in a nomination and for the May training, which costs $50.00 for members. Mr. Robertson noted that they also have a platform for the grant writer, eCivics. He stated that it would add networking and the value of providing a different source of grant-related activities. Mr. Harline noted that the platform, when they go back to it on an annual basis, is $6,000 a year. Page 48

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 10 • The Silver Lake Commission had a cleanup on February 6, 2021 with students from Holy Cross' National Junior Honor Society. They were out cleaning for two hours and did a great job. • There is another cleanup scheduled for April 17, 2021 that will be with Holy Cross' National Junior Honor Society, but it is opened to the community. • Due to her joining City Council, Mrs. Arndt has resigned as Chair of the Silver Lake Commission, which leaves a vacancy. They did welcome a new member, John DeMarie, but they will still be down two members. A good candidate would be someone who is social media savvy with outreach skills. Update on the Request to Delaware Congressional Delegation Regarding Disposition and Maintenance of Wetland Pond Adjacent to Pat Lynn Drive at the Site of the Proposed New Middle Schools (Informational Item) Mr. Adewunmi Kuforiji, Interim Assistant Superintendent, Capital School District, provided an update regarding the Request to Delaware Congressional Delegation Regarding Disposition and Maintenance of Wetland Pond Adjacent to Pat Lynn Drive at the Site of the Proposed New Middle Schools. Mr. Tony DePrima, Capital School District Board of Education Member, noted that the map provided was prepared so that they were all on the same page regarding how things would be maintained and they would have something to compare it to. Responding to Mr. Rocha regarding feedback from federal legislators, Mr. Anderson advised that they are still working on it and moving forward, but he was informally told that it is highly unlikely to be approved because the Corps of Engineers opposes it. Mr. Sudler stated that he made contact with all three offices and they have assured him that they would convey their concerns and get back with them. Mr. Sudler stated that it has exceeded the timeframe which he thought they should possibly be back. He noted that this is a time sensitive matter that has been ongoing for over five years and they would continue and hopefully have a joint effort from the Capitol School District to continue to inquire and let them know the urgency and importance of gaining approval. Presentation - Bayhealth Hospital - Strategic Facilities Master Plan (Mr. John Van Gorp, Bayhealth Senior Vice President of Planning and Business Development) (Informational Item) Mr. John Van Gorp, Bayhealth Senior Vice President of Planning and Business Development, reviewed the presentation entitled, "Strategic Facilities Master Plan,".

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 11 Presentation Bayhealth Hospital Strategic Facilities Master Plan to allow Ms. Windley time to reconnect her microphone.) Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Van Gorp stated that a total of 37 physicians were recruited in the last 14 months. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding workforce development, Mr. Van Gorp advised that they continue to be in growth mode and it is a continuous struggle to find the professional staff necessary. He noted that there are shortages in a variety of areas, including physicians, nursing staff, physical therapists, lab technicians, and DI services. There are a number of very good, well-paid, professional jobs that they continue to struggle to fill. Mr. Van Gorp noted that they work very closely with Delaware Technical and Community College (DTCC), Wesley College, and Delaware State University, and they are doing their best to try to expand. He advised that DTCC and Delaware State University are looking to expand their health services programs to try to provide the workforce that is needed. Presentation - Strategic Framework for Community and Economic Development (Ms. Georgeanna Windley) Ms. Georgeanna Windley, Professional Economic Developer, expressed concerns regarding economic development within the City of Dover. She noted that one of the things that she sees with the City is their great job with the Downtown Development Corporation. Ms. Windley asked if the City was looking at the business climate and the business and income tax levels, workforce availability, energy cost, market size, and the quality of services that are offered. She asked if there was a comprehensive plan for economic development with goals and objectives that is revisited on a regular basis and measured. Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, referred Ms. Windley to Chapter 10 of the City's Comprehensive Plan which outlines a specific set of policies, goals and objectives for the City. He advised that the City is a part of the Kent Economic Partnership (KEP) and a lot of the information that Ms. Windley has identified is included in the sets of data that the City uses when responding to requests for proposals or other recruiting efforts. Mr. Hugg noted that the City has incentives available and that they do not have a separate strategic economic plan in the sense that the US Economic Development Administration at one time proposed. Ms. Windley expressed her concerns regarding the difference between a Comprehensive Plan and an economic development plan. Mayor Christiansen stated that when the Dover Development Office went out of business, those on the Kent Economic Partnership got together to address quite a few of the issues that Ms. Windley has brought forward and it incorporates tourism and workforce development. He noted that Ms. Linda Parkowski, Executive Director of the KEP, obtained the City the Rockport Study to tell where deficiencies are. He noted that they felt that even with the creation of the Delaware Prosperity Program, Page 51

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 12 that Kent County would be left behind and that is why the County, the City of Dover and a number of municipalities throughout the County, went together to address the issues that Ms. Windley has brought up and have moved forward. Mayor Christiansen advised that part of those efforts was bringing U.S. Corrugated’s cardboard box manufacturing plant to Dover, as well as other industries that are considering the City. He noted that, during the Economic Development Committee meeting held prior to the Council Committee of the Whole meeting, some of their plans and incentives were granted for development of the joint use facility at Kent County Airport. Mayor Christiansen stated that they are working in partnership with the school districts to develop the workforce. He noted that those efforts are in place and they have had quite a few successes. Mayor Christiansen noted that a Joint Use Agreement with Dover Air Force Base is going to provide them with a kick to do what needs to be done to address the economic vitality not only Dover, but for the entire area. Mr. Neil stated that as liaison for City Council on tourism in 2015, the tourism board took a total metamorphosis. He advised that they went out and got Streetsense to provide the mirror of what they had to do. Mr. Neil advised that events that use to be volunteer supported efforts went through a complete change in terms of professionalism and, as a result, people can go online for tourism and see a very active Kent County. He noted that it has continued throughout this pandemic. Mr. Neil advised that each month there are five different places that the locals can attend and they actually received some national praise from professional organizations. He noted the tax abatement program and stated that it is designed as part of the total picture. He advised that Ms. Diane Laird, Executive Director of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), has done a marvelous job of having events that will attract people. He noted the City lighting system that is primarily for safety is going to help the downtown area as well. Mr. Hare suggested that this item be brought back to the Council Committee of the Whole or the Economic Development Committee to give Staff enough time to prepare some information. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried.

DISSOLUTION OF THE AGREEMENT FOR THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT In November of 2013 City Council authorized the City Manager and the City Planner to begin negotiations with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to create a Transportation Improvement District (TID) and a proposed agreement for the creation of a Land Use and Transportation Plan (LUTP) which would be the basis of future capital improvements along the corridor to be funded by developer charges as development projects. Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that recent discussions with DelDOT determined that much of the developable land designated in 2013-2014 were already committed and had been subject to specific transportation planning and analysis. Additionally, the market demand for increased development and redevelopment in the TID has changed and existing policies and procedures were sufficient to secure necessary transportation improvements, thereby negating the potential purposes of the original TID designation and agreement. DelDOT has proposed an agreement for dissolving the TID as no longer being necessary. Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the proposed Agreement of Dissolution. Mr. Neil moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Taylor and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell absent). DISPOSITION OF CITY PROPERTY - TRANSFER OF PROPERTY TO THE STATE OF DELAWARE Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the background and analysis for the Transfer of Property to the State of Delaware. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. Nicholas Rodriguez, City Solicitor, advised that Section 29 of the City of Dover Charter authorizes City Council to transfer the property. He noted that there had been a similar situation in the City of Wilmington, where they closed a street to provide building space for the courthouse, and the City of Wilmington transferred property to the State of Delaware. Mr. Anderson asked if any City departments had concerns with transferring the property. Mr. Hugg advised that he had not heard any concerns from the other departments. He noted that there were no utilities in the alley. Page 53

D Item #6. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 22, 2021 PAGE 14 Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the State and to execute a deed of transfer, as set forth.

Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Harvey provided the following information: • The public service activities include Dover Interfaith Mission and the Central Delaware Housing Collaborative. She stated that the money goes toward operational costs for the shelters. • The organizations also get grant funding from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), but they rely on the City's grant funding in order to stay in operation. • Regarding the demolition of dwellings, the City of Dover pays for the cost of demolition and abatement, which is the environmental process.

Item #19. City of Dover MAYOR AND COUNCIL PROPOSED COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2021-05 1 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO APPLY FOR 2 A COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING GRANT FOR THE DOVER WATER QUALITY AND 3 EXPANSION INITIATIVE 4 WHEREAS, Everyday cities across the country utilize water to operate and provide services to the people 5 to live and work. Of all municipal services, provision of potable water is perhaps the most vital. People 6 depend on water for drinking, cooking, washing, carrying away wastes, and other domestic needs. 7 Commercial and industrial customers rely on water to perform necessary processes for their businesses. 8 Water supply systems must also meet state, local and federal requirements for potable water; and 9 WHEREAS, The City of Dover Department of Water & Wastewater works diligently to maintain a safe and 10 abundant water supply by meeting the state, local and federal treatment requirements for potable water. The 11 staff completes daily water samples to verify said requirements are met. Staff works with the Delaware 12 Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to assure our water allocation levels are 13 sufficient for our customers and future growth; and 14 WHEREAS, The City of Dover is applying for a Community Project Funding Grant for the Dover Water 15 Quality and Expansion Initiative as this Community Project Funding is made available through the House 16 Committee on Appropriations for community-based projects of genuine need across the United States; and 17 WHEREAS, The Dover Water Quality and Expansion Initiative is planned for three phases; this important 18 and critical project will improve the current water distribution and increase the capacity of the water system; 19 and 20 WHEREAS, The first phase will improve the aesthetic quality of its potable water. Due to the combination 21 of the required treatment and the material of the existing water mains, the City occasionally experiences 22 discolored water when delivered to its customers. This project would increase consumer confidence and 23 increase the flow rate of the main, which would increase fire protection capabilities; and 24 WHEREAS, The second phase pertains to the current water production levels. The City of Dover operates 25 a total of twenty wells for their customers. Each well produces a valuable service to the citizens. This 26 request would be to install a new water production well in Silver Lake Park in the City of Dover. This will 27 provide redundancy with our distribution system, provide increased fire protection if needed and potentially 28 allow economic growth to the capital of the First State; and P.O. Box 475 ˜ Dover, Delaware ˜19903 Page 117 Community Excellence Through Quality Service

PROPOSED COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2021-05 PAGEItem 2 #19. 29 WHEREAS, The third phase relates to current water storage. The City of Dover operates a water 30 distribution system with seven existing elevated water storage tanks throughout the service territory. 31 Unfortunately, there is not an existing tank in the northwest section of the City. This area of the City has 32 lower water pressure than the remainder of Dover. Adding a tank in this area will increase the water 33 pressure and increase fire protection for the citizens of Dover. Additionally, this could potentially allow 34 economic growth to the capital of the First State; and 35 WHEREAS, Completion of these important projects will improve the water infrastructure for the city of 36 Dover and could generate economic growth in the City in these areas. This project will impact the entire 37 population as well as visitors to the City of Dover; and 38 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover, Delaware, that 39 the City Manager or his designee be authorized to apply for a Community Project Funding Grant for the 40 Dover Water Quality and Expansion Initiative. 41 ADOPTED: * 42 S:\RESOLUTIONS-PROCLAMATIONS-TRIBUTES\2021\Draft\RESOLUTION NO 2021-05 - Water Quality and Expansion Initiative.wpd 43 44 ROBIN R.

City of Dover MAYOR AND COUNCIL PROPOSED COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2021-06 1 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO APPLY FOR 2 A COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING GRANT FOR THE DOVER PARK COMMUNITY 3 BUILDING AND ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUND 4 WHEREAS, City parks and open space improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our 5 communities, and make our cities and neighborhoods more attractive places to live and work. Numerous 6 studies have shown the social, environmental, economic, and health benefits parks bring to a city and its 7 people; and 8 WHEREAS, Dover Park has served the recreational needs for the east side residents of the city and Kent 9 County, and the wider city for nearly 50 years, providing a place to take a walk in the woods, do an aerobics 10 class, attend YMCA summer youth programs, have a family picnic, play disc golf, tennis, basketball and 11 utilize playground equipment; and 12 WHEREAS, Dover Park, the oldest of the 25 parks and park areas, as part of a Parks and Recreation Master 13 plan, will be renovated with the addition of a community building that will house educational programming, 14 exercise classes, parks staff and summer camp programs; and 15 WHEREAS, As part of the major renovation plan for Dover Park, an accessible playground for the park 16 will be built. The accessible playground at Dover Park will: Be ADA accessible; offer play and exploration 17 opportunities of all ages and abilities; keep existing playground, but incorporate with new playground area; 18 have swings, which were the most desirable component from public surveys and public meetings; provide 19 connecting pathways and desirable amenities, such as seating and shade; and have different surface/texture 20 types, which are safe and accessible; and 21 WHEREAS, The City of Dover is applying for a Community Project Funding Grant for the Dover Park 22 Community Building and Accessible Playground, as this Community Project Funding is made available 23 through the House Committee on Appropriations for community-based projects of genuine need across the 24 United States; and 25 WHEREAS, The City of Dover Parks and Recreation will provide safe and enjoyable park experiences and 26 ensure that these two amenities planned for Dover Park will contribute to the overall vitality of the City of 27 Dover. The successful completion of these projects will achieve greater availability of outdoor activities, 28 increased community pride and a healthier community; and P.O.
