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.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION 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.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION 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.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION 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.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 6 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.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 8 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. Sean M.
