DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager’s Office DATE SUBMITTED: 9/16/13
PREPARED BY: Scott D. Koenig, P.E., City Manager
SUBJECT: Central Dover Planning Grant Donation Request
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller
EXHIBITS: Exhibit A – Copy of the Request and Support Documentation
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $10,000.00 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0.00
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Planning, Code Enforcement, Inspections (10
series).
TIMETABLE: Upon Council Approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that City Council authorize the City Manager to transfer
$10,000 from the 10 series of the Planning, Code Enforcement and Inspections budget to make the
requested donation to the Central Dover Planning Initiative.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City Manager’s office is in receipt of a request from Mr. Joe L. Myer to offer financial support
through a $10,000 donation for a project to be known as the Central Dover Planning Initiative. This
project is part of the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation Grant which has been awarded in the amount
of $90,000. The overall total project cost is estimated to be $120,000.
The purpose of the project is to engage the community to address the challenges that many
neighborhoods throughout Delaware and the nation are also facing – homes that are deteriorating,
declining homeownership rates, persistent crime, and limited access to services. This effort will
provide opportunity for various stakeholders to work together to make necessary improvements,
organize associations, and look at a holistic approach to neighborhood building, affordable housing,
economic development, and social service delivery.
Under the current budget rules, the City Manager cannot move funds from the 10 series of the budget
without City Council approval. The request is to transfer unused salary from vacant positions to the
regular operating budget to make the donation to the project. Should Council not authorize the
transfer from the 10 series as request, the City Manager will need to identify another area of the
budget for funding as this is an important project for the central Dover area.

REVIEWED BY:
EXHIBITS: Grant Application – Scenario A and Scenario B
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $28,500 AMOUNT BUDGETED: Not budgeted – All grant funds. Staff time is used
as required match.
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A
TIMETABLE: Grant cycle is 10/1/2013 – 9/30/2014
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the Committee forward the grant application for “Scenario B”,
where grant funds pay for the use of the John W. Pitts Center, to City Council with a favorable recommendation.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Since fall 2007, the City of Dover has partnered with Aid in Dover to secure funds through the Criminal Justice Council
to provide programming to target at-risk youth. The first three-year cycle funded a program called Girls Circle, which
provided after school programming for at-risk girls in middle school to help improve their self- esteem and reinforce
positive life choices. The second three-year cycle funded a program call GAMES (Growing up And Meeting Each
Success), which also provided after school programming for boys and girls between 12 and 18 to help reinforce positive
life choices. The current grant request is for a one-year grant that consist of a basketball program for children between 12
and 17. The program would meet one evening per week for three hours, and two tournaments during the course of the
year.
Aid in Dover has provided two potential grant applications for consideration by the Committee, one of which would
include the cost of utilizing the John W. Pitts Center as in-kind match, and the other that includes paying the cost of
utilizing the John W. Pitts Center out of the grant request. The two scenarios are summarized on page 9 of each grant
proposal.
In Scenario A where the City allows the cost of the John W. Pitts Center as part of the in-kind match, the program would
provide three 12-week sessions, reaching a total of 50 youth. In Scenario B where the grant funds pay for the use of the
John W. Pitts Center, the program would provide three 10-week sessions, reaching a total of 30 youth.
The in-kind match provided by the City of Dover under the grant proposal is as follows:
Finance Staff Hours for grant administration – 6 hours @ $37.38 per hour = $224
Parks and Recreation Hours for grant administration – 30 hours @$28.75 per hour = $862
John W. Pitts Center Gym Usage (Scenario A only) – 113 hours @$75 per hour = $8,475
Staff has concerns about allowing use of the John W. Pitts Center without charge, as there are many community groups
that regularly request use of the facility free of charge, and as there are no clear criteria for granting a waiver of the
charge. Staff is concerned that this could create the impression of unequal or preferential treatment of one group over
another.

Project Summary: In 200 words or less, briefly describe the problem, the goal, the approach and the results or
benefits expected from this project.
Hot Shots is a program designed for at-risk youth in Kent County between the ages of 12-17. The goal of the
program is to offer the youth a more in depth opportunity to learn to play basketball and to control their play within
the rules set by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NHSF). Many of our youth do not get the
opportunity to play for a high school team and basketball is a very popular sport for many adolescents. “Pick Up
Ball” and “Street Ball” are two of many variations of basketball played by the youth in our community. The
fundamental problem with these forms of the game, is that the players, and most often, the largest and best players,
make up the rules.
Hot Shots teaches youth to play according to accepted rules, used by high school sports programs. Hot Shots gives
youth the chance to learn and practice how to become a part of a team, learn to cooperate with other team members,
learn to collaborate with other players so that different sets of skills can be realized, and most importantly, to learn
how to win and lose without losing self or team respect.

C. Methods and Procedures: This section should address the impact of the program by quantifying the results.
Hot Shots is an activity based program for youth ages 12-17 years. The program will rely on relational-culture
theory, which suggests that growth-fostering relationships are a central and human necessity and that disconnections
in these relationships are the source of psychological problems. The theory view connection with others as a central
organizing feature in psychological makeup. The quality of these connections determines the overall psychological
health, self-image, and relationships. Within this theoretical framework, Hot Shots aims not only to reduce risk
factors for delinquent behavior, school dropout, and disproportionate minority contact and arrest rates, but also
increase the protective factors for resiliency against these ultimate situations, if intervention is not made.
Hot Shots will target schools, churches, and other community organizations in outreach. Involvement will be
voluntary, and by reaching out to the local community, we expect involvement will be high. The City of Dover
needs programs designed to assist our minority youth with positive, appropriate, and responsible development.
The City of Dover will partner with Aid in Dover, Inc. to operate the Hot Shots program. Aid in Dover, Inc. has
been serving “at risk” youth within Delaware and Kent County since 1974. With that experience, Aid in Dover, Inc.
will provide activities and coaches who can change the beliefs and behaviors of minority youth within our
community by building positive influences in their lives each week. Youth will be using both their mind and bodies
to focus on methods and strategies that will be enable them to meet issues they face in their lives.
Hot Shots participants will meet each week for three (3) hours at the Schutte Park Recreation Center. The first hour
will be directed to life skill instruction in areas such as teamwork, cooperation, collaboration, confidence,
appropriate responses to anger, frustration, and disappointment. In the next two hours, instructors/coaches will apply
and demonstrate those concepts as they teach basketball basics such as rules, concepts, court layout, and player
positions. As participants learn shooting, passing, dribbling, lay ups, jump stops, pivoting, footwork, jab steps,
screening, cutting, defense, and rebounding skills, they will be given repeated opportunities to learn and practice
fairness and fair play. Games will be governed by National Federation of State High School Associations (NHSF)
rules.
Hot Shots will provide three (3) separate cycles of 12 week duration for three (3) hours each week. Each cycle can
accommodate 16-17 youth per cycle. The program will serve a total of 50 youth per year. After the third cycle is
complete, a championship tournament and celebration will occur for all participants served that year. Two (2) teams
will be formed from each program cycle, totaling three (3) teams to play in the tournament by the end of the
program. Each team will be provided with a coach for the day of the tournament (including the two (2) Program
Instructors), transportation, a team shirt, their own basketball, and a trophy/medal.
The partnerships between the City of Dover and Aid in Dover, Inc. are currently in force and the Title V Policy
Prevention Board continues to meet and plan for our youth. Next meeting date is scheduled for September 18, 2013.
Aid in Dover, Inc. is prepared to purchase all necessary supplies, recruit, hire, and train all staff and volunteers, and
open Hot Shots within 30 days of award.

D. Evaluation Design: This section should describe the specific plans and activities which will be pursued to
measure progress toward and achievement of the goal statement(s) and objectives identified in Part B. The
evaluation design should provide for and rely upon objective measures and judgments of project personnel,
local officials or advisory groups.
At a minimum this section should:
(l) Provide a general overview of the proposed evaluation design.
(2) Explain how accomplishments will be recorded.
(a) What facts and figures will be collected?
(b) How and by whom will these facts and figures be selected?
(c) How will the facts and figures collected be related?
Aid In Dover, Inc., will provide the Criminal Justice Council with statistical information to measure and monitor the
program effectiveness. Criteria to be submitted will include:
1. The amount of Title II funds used during each quarter for Delinquency Prevention.
2. The number of participants served per quarter. This number will represent an unduplicated count.
3. The total hours of instruction/supervision/intervention in each cycle.
4. The number and percent of participants exhibiting desired changes.
5. The number and percent of participants completing the program each cycle.
6. The number and percent of participants satisfied with the program and their individual results.
7. The number and percent of staff receiving training in delinquency prevention/intervention.
Overall evaluation of the program will be determined by the number of juvenile contacts and arrests among
participants in the City of Dover and Kent County. Statistical data provided within this application will be used as a

SCENARIO B – GYM FEE PAID OUT OF GRANT FUNDS (30 PARTICIPANTS) 2
Project Summary: In 200 words or less, briefly describe the problem, the goal, the approach and the results or
benefits expected from this project.
Hot Shots is a program designed for at-risk youth in Kent County between the ages of 12-17. The goal of the
program is to offer the youth a more in depth opportunity to learn to play basketball and to control their play within
the rules set by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NHSF). Many of our youth do not get the
opportunity to play for a high school team and basketball is a very popular sport for many adolescents. “Pick Up
Ball” and “Street Ball” are two of many variations of basketball played by the youth in our community. The
fundamental problem with these forms of the game, is that the players, and most often, the largest and best players,
make up the rules.
Hot Shots teaches youth to play according to accepted rules, used by high school sports programs. Hot Shots gives
youth the chance to learn and practice how to become a part of a team, learn to cooperate with other team members,
learn to collaborate with other players so that different sets of skills can be realized, and most importantly, to learn
how to win and lose without losing self or team respect.

SCENARIO B – GYM FEE PAID OUT OF GRANT FUNDS (30 PARTICIPANTS) 15
C. Methods and Procedures: This section should address the impact of the program by quantifying the results.
Hot Shots is an activity based program for youth ages 12-17 years. The program will rely on relational-culture
theory, which suggests that growth-fostering relationships are a central and human necessity and that disconnections
in these relationships are the source of psychological problems. The theory view connection with others as a central
organizing feature in psychological makeup. The quality of these connections determines the overall psychological
health, self-image, and relationships. Within this theoretical framework, Hot Shots aims not only to reduce risk
factors for delinquent behavior, school dropout, and disproportionate minority contact and arrest rates, but also
increase the protective factors for resiliency against these ultimate situations, if intervention is not made.
Hot Shots will target schools, churches, and other community organizations in outreach. Involvement will be
voluntary, and by reaching out to the local community, we expect involvement will be high. The City of Dover
needs programs designed to assist our minority youth with positive, appropriate, and responsible development.
The City of Dover will partner with Aid in Dover, Inc. to operate the Hot Shots program. Aid in Dover, Inc. has
been serving “at risk” youth within Delaware and Kent County since 1974. With that experience, Aid in Dover, Inc.
will provide activities and coaches who can change the beliefs and behaviors of minority youth within our
community by building positive influences in their lives each week. Youth will be using both their mind and bodies
to focus on methods and strategies that will be enable them to meet issues they face in their lives.
Hot Shots participants will meet each week for three (3) hours at the Schutte Park Recreation Center. The first hour
will be directed to life skill instruction in areas such as teamwork, cooperation, collaboration, confidence,
appropriate responses to anger, frustration, and disappointment. In the next two hours, instructors/coaches will apply
and demonstrate those concepts as they teach basketball basics such as rules, concepts, court layout, and player
positions. As participants learn shooting, passing, dribbling, lay ups, jump stops, pivoting, footwork, jab steps,
screening, cutting, defense, and rebounding skills, they will be given repeated opportunities to learn and practice
fairness and fair play. Games will be governed by National Federation of State High School Associations (NHSF)
rules.
Hot Shots will provide three (3) separate cycles of 10 week duration for three (3) hours each week. Each cycle can
accommodate 10 youth per cycle. The program will serve a total of 30 youth per year. After the third cycle is
complete, a championship tournament and celebration will occur for all participants served that year. One team will
be formed from each program cycle, totaling 3 teams to play in the tournament by the end of the program. Each
team will be provided with a coach for the day of the tournament (including the two (2) Program Instructors),
transportation, a team shirt, their own basketball, and a trophy/medal.
The partnerships between the City of Dover and Aid in Dover, Inc. are currently in force and the Title V Policy
Prevention Board continues to meet and plan for our youth. Next meeting date is scheduled for September 18, 2013.
Aid in Dover, Inc. is prepared to purchase all necessary supplies, recruit, hire, and train all staff and volunteers, and
open Hot Shots within 30 days of award.
