LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on January 13, 2014, at
5:30 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rushe,
and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Council President Bonar (arrived at 6:01 p.m.),
Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously
carried.
Transfer of Davis Estate Donation to the Dover Library Foundation
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that the Dover Public Library was an heir to the estate
of Mrs. Sata Davis and a beneficiary of the Frank Davis Trust. The estate’s executor,
Ms. Patricia Mercer, sent the Library’s portion of the estate and the trust, in the amount of
$61,735.80, to the City of Dover and the funds were deposited in an escrow account. At the
December 12, 2013 meeting of the Dover Library Foundation Board, members voted to request City
Council to transfer the funds from the Davis Estate to the Dover Library Foundation to support its
mission in accordance with its by-laws.
Mr. Koenig stated that it was Deputy City Solicitor William Pepper’s opinion, upon reviewing the
will, that the decedents’ intent was to benefit the Library.
Mr. Koenig advised members that the topic of future donations was also discussed during the Dover
Library Foundation Board meeting. He noted that all current fundraising uses the Dover Library
Foundation as the beneficiary; however, it was believed that it was likely that the Dover Public
Library would continue to be identified as a beneficiary for years to come. Dover Library
Foundation members voted to direct the Library Director to work with the City Manager and Council
liaison to craft a policy to be proposed to the City Council to determine how future contributions to
the Dover Public Library would be handled. Mr. Koenig indicated that a policy to address future
donations would be presented for consideration once it could be drafted and reviewed.
Mr. Koenig stated that the issue at hand was whether Dover City Council would like to retain the
right to decide how the donated funds would be spent to benefit the Dover Public Library. The
Foundation had requested that this large donation be transferred to the Foundation so that it could
be made part of the endowment to benefit the Dover Public Library, in accordance with the
resolutions that were adopted previously by City Council. (City Clerk’s Office Note: During the City
Council meeting held on January 12, 2009, Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-03 which created
the Dover Library Foundation, and during the City Council Meeting held on February 11, 2013,
Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-04 which amended Resolution No. 2009-03 to allow
management of Dover Library Foundation accounts and funds to be conveyed to the Foundation.)
Mr. Koenig recommended that the proceeds of the Davis estate that were gifted to the Dover Public
Library be transferred to the Dover Library Foundation, as requested by the Dover Library
Foundation, and that a policy be drafted that will outline how future donations of this nature will be
handled.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 2
Responding to Mr. Hare regarding how donations are currently managed, Mr. Koenig explained that
if a gift were donated specifically to the Dover Library Foundation, the money would go to the
Foundation and the by-laws of the Foundation would determine use of these funds; however, if the
donation were made to the City of Dover to benefit the Library, the funds would come to the City
of Dover. He stated that the donation under discussion was made to the “Dover Public Library,”
which did not exist as a corporate entity; however, the intent of the gift was to benefit the library.
Mr. Lynn noted that since the Dover Library Foundation is a relatively new entity, many wills and
estate documents will reference the Dover Public Library versus the Dover Library Foundation.
Mr. Lynn questioned if the Dover Library Foundation was a third-party, private entity. Responding,
Mr. Koenig stated that it is a 501(c)(3) corporation and its creation was authorized by City Council.
The Foundation has its own by-laws and governing board. Mr. Koenig explained that he and
Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, serve on the Foundation’s Board.
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, expressed concerns regarding the donation. She noted
that the financial policies for the City require that any infrequent or non-recurring items go toward
capital projects. She explained, for example, that donations received for parks and recreation have
been designated for the Parkland Reserve Fund and donations for the Library have gone to the
Library Reserve Fund that was started for construction of the library. The Davis bequest was
received by the City and if Council chose to direct it to the Library, it would be transferred to the
Library as a contribution. Mrs. Mitchell felt that the Dover Library Foundation’s request would not
be in line with the City’s cash contribution financial policy. She stated her understanding that the
Foundation would like to invest the funds for future capital and noted that this was exactly what the
City would do with the same amount of money; however, if the City invested it for those needs, it
would be under the auspices of the City’s investment policy. In addition, Mrs. Mitchell stated that
giving funds to an outside entity could create controversy in light of the current challenging
economic times.
Mr. Slavin expressed his opinion that the City’s fiscal policies could not undo the will of those
donating funds, noting that Council had taken the previous action of setting up the Library
Foundation for the purpose of receiving donations and now found itself at a place where the “new
world hasn’t caught up with the old world” in regard to how money was being donated. He felt that
an exception to the financial policy could be made and reminded members that Council had the
power to do so.
In addition, Mr. Slavin stated that these funds would be invested for future capital needs. He stated
his understanding that the funds would be placed in an endowment, which was vastly different from
saying that they would be invested for the purpose of using them later for capital projects.
Mr. Slavin noted that funds in an endowment would be invested and the purpose of the endowment
would not legally allow them to be touched. He indicated that if the endowment were set up with
the Delaware Community Foundation, the corpus of the endowment would be prevented from being
raided for any purpose, noting that he would be much more comfortable with this arrangement than
placing the funds inside the City government. The Delaware Community Foundation, through its
Paj 3
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 3
board of directors, could then determine what percentage of the interest could be used for the
projects that they determine.
Mrs. Mitchell expressed her understanding that Council had the right to make exceptions. She
explained that the Davis will was developed in 2012 and the Library Foundation was in existence
prior to that; therefore, she felt that no one present could know the donors’ intent.
Mr. Slavin reminded members that Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, had reviewed the
will(s) and provided a legal opinion regarding the intent.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that Mr. Pepper’s opinion was that the funds could be transferred to the
Foundation but she was unsure if this was the donor’s intent.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that if the donation went to the City, the City
would be a “flow-through entity” for the funds and there would be no adverse tax consequences.
Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that when funds are bequeathed to the Dover Public Library, these
funds should go to the Dover Library Foundation unless they are designated for a specific purpose,
such as to purchase new computers.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that if this approach were taken, she would prefer that Council make it clear that
any similar donations in the future would go to the Delaware Community Foundation.
Mr. Hare stated that this should be in the policy unless a specific purpose is identified in the bequest.
Mrs. Mitchell stated her concurrence if this was Council’s desire.
Mr. Shevock suggested that when an individual or organization notifies the City that funds will be
bequeathed, that the City advise those involved to make the check out properly to eliminate the need
to come before Council. Mrs. Mitchell noted that the City was unaware that this donation was
pending. She suggested that if the City receives a check for the Dover Public Library,
Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, could provide clarification regarding how the donor wished the
funds be used.
Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the City could manage any funds received
by the Foundation that were not specifically directed to the endowment.
Mr. Lynn noted that the City was still ultimately responsible for capital improvements and would
continue to need funds relative to capital improvement projects separate from the Foundation.
Mrs. Mitchell confirmed this, however, she noted that the Foundation can always partner with the
City on those improvements.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that there were no restrictions regarding the funds mentioned in the will.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 4
Mr. Slavin moved to recommend acceptance of the donation from the Davis estate in the
amount of $61,735.80 and that it be transferred to the Dover Library Foundation. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Mr. Slavin moved that any future donations made to the City for the Dover Public Library, unless
otherwise specifically cited, be transferred to the Dover Library Foundation. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hare.
Mr. Lynn advised members that the Dover Library Foundation was already contemplating an
omnibus policy on this point and suggested that members wait to see what the Foundation had to say
on this matter before proceeding.
Mr. Rushe noted that the second part of staff’s recommendation was that the City Manager draft a
policy that will outline how future donations of this nature would be handled.
Mr. Slavin withdraw his motion and Mr. Hare concurred.
Mr. Rushe moved to table the issue of the policy on future donations to the Dover Public Library
until such time as the City Manager can meet with the necessary people to recommend a policy and
that this policy be brought back to the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock.
Mr. Slavin encouraged staff to develop a “clean” process that is not confusing and that this be
accomplished quickly since there was an audience of foundations and potential givers.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated his desire to return to the Dover Public Library
Foundation to discuss the policy, which would be reviewed by Mr. Lynn as the Council liaison for
the Foundation. He expected that it would return to the Committee by their meeting scheduled in
approximately 30 days, or by the meeting scheduled subsequent to that date.
Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, stated that this matter could be considered by the Dover Library
Foundation and their response could be provided within 30 days.
Mr. Lynn suggested that information could be provided in the Dover Library Foundation newsletter
to clarify that potential donors should make the distinction in estate documents regarding the
recipients of donations.
Responding to Mr. Slavin, Ms. Cyr confirmed that the Dover Library Foundation was a 501(c)(3)
organization.
On a call for the question, the motion to table the issue of the policy on future donations to the
Dover Public Library until such time as the City Manager can meet with the necessary people
to recommend a policy for review by the Committee was unanimously carried.

COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 5
Proposed Plan to Cover Dangerous Building Demolition Costs
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that, in an effort to improve the quality of life
in various neighborhoods throughout the City, staff had placed a continuous effort on the removal
of dangerous buildings. He noted that the FY 2014 had been very active and the City had spent or
committed as much as $175,000 toward demolition efforts. Since the original budget was $140,000
for these efforts during FY 2014, Mr. Koenig proposed adjusting the budget to continue the
demolition actions through the remainder of the fiscal year. He noted that the estimated demolition
expenses for FY 2014 were $250,000.
Mr. Koenig stated that the $110,000 shortfall in the demolition budget could be made up by
transferring $20,000 in unused salary and benefits from the Planning Office to the demolition budget
and the remainder could come from other General Fund division personnel budgets. These funds
were available due to a Planner II position being vacant for approximately four (4) months, as well
as other vacancies in various General Fund divisions. Mr. Koenig reviewed the requested
amendment and prior history of the City of Dover Demolition Program. He advised members that
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, expected the
demolition budget request for FY 2015 to be in the range of $150,000 - $175,000.
Mr. Koenig explained that the request was necessary because the City Manager did not have the
authority to amend or adjust the 10 Series budgets for open salaries to move it down into the 20 and
30 series for operating expenses and Council action would be required to adjust these budgets.
Mr. Koenig requested that the City Manager be authorized to transfer unused salary and benefits in
the amount of $20,000 from the Planning Division, as well as from other General Fund divisions
throughout the City, to the demolition budget, which would increase the demolition budget from
$140,000 to $250,000 for FY 2014.
Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig noted that the sale of the property does not typically happen
in the same fiscal year that the demolition occurs. The City goes through the demolition process and
places a lien against the property. He noted that it is sometimes two (2) to three (3) years before
funds are received. Mr. Koenig estimated that the City had received approximately $80,000 -
$90,000 per year in demolition receipts. He stated that some demolition expenses had been written
off in the past because properties had been transferred to Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity.
For practical purposes, demolitions are only considered as an expense. If revenue is recovered, it
is considered a bonus. Mr. Koenig estimated the percentage of return at 50% or less.
In response to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that $20,000 would come from the Planning Department
and the remaining $90,000 would come from other General Fund budgets, such as Public Works.
He stated that he would be reviewing each of the General Fund division budgets and would develop
an amendment. Mr. Koenig stated that he would make every effort to have the funding identified
before the matter comes before Council on January 27, 2014.

Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City
Manager to transfer unused salary and benefits in the amount of $20,000 from the Planning
Division, as well as from other General Fund divisions throughout the City, to the demolition
budget, which would increase the demolition budget from $140,000 to $250,000 for FY 2014.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2014-01 - Amendment to Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article IV -
Abatement of Real Estate Taxes; Appendix C - Downtown Redevelopment, Article II -
Definitions and Article III - Eligibility; and Appendix E - Commercial and Industrial Building
Redevelopment, Article II - Eligibility
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that the City offers incentives to certain qualifying
industries, businesses, and homeowners to expand or locate within the limits of the City, and
business and property owners to improve their properties. Tax abatement incentives are offered to
certain qualifying industries and businesses to expand or locate in the City, and persons purchasing
residential real property (where they will reside) within a designated area. Additionally, in the
Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, eligible projects may receive a full waiver of building
permit fees, a full waiver of City impact fees (for multi-story mixed use development), and
abatement of the property taxes on the improvements for a period of ten years. For commercial and
industrial buildings, where there are renovations to establish a new business, projects may receive
a 50% reduction in building permit fees, a 50% reduction in any applicable City impact fees, and
abatement of the property taxes on the improvements for a period of ten years.
In recent years, some of the beneficiaries of these incentives have become delinquent on City taxes
and there is no mechanism to revoke the outstanding incentives if property owners are delinquent.
The proposed amendments would require compliance with the City’s Clean Hands Ordinance and
provide for the revocation of approved but unrealized incentives if the beneficiary of the incentives
becomes delinquent on obligations owed to the City. The proposed amendments reference and are
consistent with the City Clean Hands Ordinance, which prevents the City from issuing permits or
establishing services for property owners who are delinquent on obligations to the City.
The proposed ordinance would also make tax exempt properties ineligible for the incentives.
Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2014-01.
Mr. Hare moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2014-01, as recommended
by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Request for Infrastructure Reimbursement - Wesley College
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that he had been working with Dr. William Johnston,
President, over the past several months on project closeout issues associated with redevelopment
around Wesley College. In December of 2012, the Dover City Council approved a construction
contract in the amount of $96,411.75 with Corrado Construction, Co., to construct the Wesley
College Streetscape Enhancement - Phase I. The project was funded by a Community Transportation
Funds agreement in the amount of $148,604. In September 2013, City Council approved a final
Paj 7
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 7
change order on the project, which increased the total project cost to $125,574.34. In December of
2013, the City Manager received a request from Wesley College to be reimbursed for work that was
completed within the City’s North State Street Alley West right-of-way. This work was originally
planned to be included in Phase I of the Streetscape Enhancement; however, scheduling conflicts
between the College and the City prevented this work from being included in the scope of work for
the Streetscape Enhancement - Phase I.
The City Manager and officials from Wesley College have met with representatives from the
Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to determine whether these costs could be added
to the Community Transportation Fund agreement; however, the expenses occurred before the
agreement was signed; therefore, these expenses cannot be added to the current agreement.
Senator Colin Bonini has indicated that he is willing to fund other public improvements within the
City in an amount at least equal to the requested reimbursement; therefore, the City of Dover would
not incur a net expense on the reimbursement. There are a number of sidewalk projects in the
downtown area that can be funded using Community Transportation Funds.
The City Manager requested authorization from City Council to reimburse Wesley College for the
expenses incurred in the City’s right-of-way ($24,500 per letter dated December 20, 2013) provided
Community Transportation Funds in an amount equal to or greater than $24,500 can be secured from
area legislators to replace the funding associated with the reimbursement. The reimbursement will
be issued using General Fund dollars associated with the City’s Concrete Construction and
Replacement Program (Project # ST1402).
Mr. Koenig stated that several sidewalk projects had been identified and were being estimated by
staff to be forwarded to the legislators for funding and this reimbursement is tied to Community
Transportation Funds.
Mr. Shevock questioned if the City would wait to obtain the funds from Senator Bonini before
reimbursing Wesley College. Mr. Koenig stated that he would wait until he received a commitment
on the agreements. He stated that 10% of the funds would be received when the agreement is signed
and the rest of the agreement funds are typically received once an expense is incurred.
Mr. Bonar commended Mr. Koenig for working with the legislative contingent on suburban street
funds, noting that many infrastructure issues and projects would have to be addressed in the next
several months and the next fiscal year. He encouraged staff to keep an open dialogue and respond
to their requests in a timely fashion.
Mr. Shevock moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to reimburse Wesley College
for the expenses incurred in the City’s right-of-way, in the amount of $24,500 per letter dated
December 20, 2013, provided that Community Transportation Funds in an amount equal to
or greater than $24,500 can be secured from area legislators to replace the funding associated
with the reimbursement. The reimbursement will be issued using General Fund dollars
associated with the City’s Concrete Construction and Replacement Program
(Project # ST1402). The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried.

Proposed Grant-In-Aid Policy
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that, based on the requests of some
members of Council, she developed a Grant-In-Aid policy. She noted that she had followed the
State’s policy and modified it to meet the City’s parameters. Mrs. Mitchell advised members that
if the policy were adopted, all of the documents included would merely have to be modified.
Mrs. Mitchell reviewed the presentation entitled City of Dover FY 20XX - Grant-In-Aid Instructions.
Referring to Form 9 - Signature Page, she stated that Council would need to make a determination
if they wished to specify the signature requirements for the policy. She noted that Item # 5 on Form
9 specifies “That this organization meets the criteria established and uses any Grant-In-Aid
appropriated by the City Council in accordance with those provisions and any additional restrictions
that may be set forth in the Grant-in-Aid policy.” She noted that Council would need to establish
this criteria. In addition, in regard to Form 10, she indicated that the State requires that a copy of the
most recent audit prepared by a certified public accountant or public accountant accompany the
application but allows for substitution of Sample Forms A-B-C. She indicated that Council should
make a decision in this regard as well.
She noted that Council would also have to determine the timeline for applications, by whom they
are reviewed, and the dates for submission in relation to the timing of the budget.
Mr. Slavin expressed appreciation for Mrs. Mitchell’s efforts in developing the policy. He
questioned if the City was obligated to have a Grant-In-Aid program. He stated that City could send
out instructions stating that applications were not being invited this year because of current fiscal
constraints; however, it would prepare the City for this to be done in the future and ensure that there
would be a “level playing field” for applicants. He noted that there had been criticism about the way
in which some organizations had received funds in the past and others did not.
Mr. Lynn, noting that there was a provision in the policy that requires any entity applying for a grant
to supply an audit, asked if this language was in the State’s policy. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell
confirmed that it was. She also noted that the language allowed for a compilation statement by a
certified public accountant or independent public accountant to be submitted in lieu of a copy of an
audit with a management letter.
Mr. Hare questioned if this policy would preclude a “walk-in” applicant from requesting
Grant-In-Aid funds. Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that the policy would create a uniform process
for all applicants.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that if the Committee was in favor of the policy, she could incorporate dates and
send out a notice indicating whether or not the City would be receiving applications.
Mr. Lynn asked if the entities that the City had historically provided funds to, such as the African
American Festival and the Fourth of July Committee, would have to fill out the application in the
future if the policy were adopted. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that it would be Council’s
Paj 9
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 9
decision whether to grandfather those entities in. Mr. Hare felt that these organizations should fill
out the form at least the first time so that an audit would be provided.
Mr. Slavin stated that, at the State level, there was a moratorium on receiving new applications;
therefore, only existing recipients of Grant-In-Aid could submit applications for a particular year.
Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Mitchell stated that these funds had been granted previously after
being budgeted and approved by Council through the request of Council.
Mr. Slavin suggested that consideration of how Grant-In-Aid should be handled during the upcoming
fiscal year should be included in the annual budget discussions. Mrs. Mitchell suggested that this
could be included in the Council Workshop being scheduled in March to discuss budget matters.
Mr. Bonar stated that the deadline for State Grant-In-Aid applications is November of each year so
that they can be included in budget discussions. Noting that the City was already well into the
budget process, he recommended that, starting with next fiscal year, applications be submitted no
later than November 1st or November 15th, whichever Mrs. Mitchell deemed necessary. He
concurred with Mr. Hare that all entities should submit an application and Mrs. Mitchell suggested
that this also be discussed at the March Workshop.
Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the City of Dover FY 2015 Grant-In-Aid Application and
procedures (Attachment #1), seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
