REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on April 23, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mrs. Russell, Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Anderson was absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Ms. Russell, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief Fortney, Mr. Koenig, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey was also present. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Leary declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Councilwoman Sophia R. Russell, 208 N. New Street, speaking as a resident and taxpayer, stated that she was at the Dover Public Library on Saturday for a meeting with her youth council. She stated that she was offended by the filthy condition of the bathrooms. The floor was sticky and the toilets and sinks were dirty. Mrs. Russell stated that whatever staffing time has been cut should be reinstated to take care of the building. Fire Chief Jack Fortney, 103 S. Governors Avenue, stated that they were in the process of hiring a Fire Dispatcher for Station 2 and have received 47 applications. He noted that the applications were sent to the Dover Police Department and he has been advised that, through the criminal background process, the number of eligible applicants has been reduced to 32 and could be further reduced to 10 or 12 applicants. Chief Fortney stated that when the position was advertised, the requirements included a high school diploma/GED and two (2) years fire service experience. He noted that applications were pulled because they did not meet those requirements; however, the Human Resources Department has subsequently waived the fire service experience requirement. Chief Fortney felt that the fire service experience should be required. He also felt that they were taking too long to hire someone and it was costing the department in overtime. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of April 9, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Russell and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 2 PROCLAMATION - ARBOR DAY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, J. Sterling Morton, a Nebraska pioneer, understood that trees were needed for fuel and building materials, for shade from the hot sun, and as windbreaks to keep soil in place; and WHEREAS, J. Sterling Morton advocated tree planting by individuals and civic organizations and, on January 4, 1872, proposed a tree-planting holiday to be called "Arbor Day"; and WHEREAS, the first holiday was set for April 10, 1872, with prizes being offered to counties and individuals for properly planting the largest number of trees and it was estimated that more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska that day; and WHEREAS, in 1885, Arbor Day was named a legal holiday in Nebraska and April 22, Morton's birthday, was selected as the date for its permanent observance. Today, it is most common for Arbor Day to coincide with the best tree planting weather for the region; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover was named a Tree City USA in 2011 for the twenty-second consecutive year by the National Arbor Day Foundation, recognizing Dover for its outstanding urban forestry program; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover Planning and Inspections Department's Tree Planting and Preservation Ordinance has caused the planting of thousands of trees in all subdivisions and commercial sites since 1992 and the City has been aggressively planting street trees, which are trees planted between the curb and the sidewalk, in almost every available site in the City; and WHEREAS, the Delaware State champion American Elm on The Green may be the only living witness to the United States Constitution Ratification enacted at the Golden Fleece Tavern 234 years ago, underscoring that the planting and caring for trees is a special gift that one generation passes down to the next. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim April 28th, 2012 as ARBOR DAY in the City of Dover, and urge all citizens to support the efforts to care for our trees along our streets, in our parks, and in our yards. As the City of Dover plants trees on public property, I urge all citizens to plant trees on their property to enhance the environment and promote the well-being of present and future generations. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Bill Cooper, City of Dover Superintendent of Grounds. Mr. Cooper advised members that they are partnering with the Department of Natural Resources to observe Arbor Day by planting 29 native trees and 48 native shrubs on Park Drive along the St. Jones River on Saturday. PROCLAMATION - NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, every child is entitled to be loved, cared for, secure, and protected from verbal, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse and neglect; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 3 WHEREAS, it is estimated that only one in ten child victims disclose abuse. A large percentage of children do not disclose abuse until adulthood, if at all; and WHEREAS, one in three girls and one in five boys will be sexually assaulted before they reach the age of 18. Consequences of this abuse include fear, loneliness, blaming themselves, poor self-esteem, anger, and mental health issues; and WHEREAS, 95% of all victims know their perpetrators, which often consist of family members, friends, and acquaintances; and WHEREAS, children are the embodiment of innocence and hope for the future. Every child deserves to grow up in a nurturing environment, free from harm and fear. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of April 2012 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the City of Dover and encourage all citizens to emphasize the importance of understanding the devastating problem of child abuse and neglect, and commit to learning more about the behavioral and physical signs of possible abuse. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Ms. Tania Culley of the Office of the Child Advocate and Mr. Kenneth Haltom of the Attorney Generals Office. APPEAL OF DENIAL - THE HOUSE OF PRIDE - 38 SOUTH NEW STREET - BUILDING PERMIT In accordance with Chapter 1 - General Provisions, Section 1-13 - Denial of permits or approvals for failure to comply with requirements for payment, actions, or filings, of the Dover Code, an appeal hearing has been scheduled for this time and place to consider the denial of permit #12-232 related to 38 South New Street. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that the property located at 38 South New Street was considered for a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance on February 27, 2012. She noted that the property was severely damaged by fire on January 8, 2012 and was subsequently condemned on January 9, 2012. On February 27, 2012, The House of Pride was denied a building permit to begin renovations at 38 South New Street due to outstanding fees for the demolition of properties located at 106 South New Street and 35 North New Street. During the February Violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance hearing, City Council tabled the matter to allow staff the opportunity to review the possibility of amending the Clean Hands ordinance to allow exceptions. On February 28, 2012, The House of Pride requested an Appeal of the Denial of the Building Permit. At their request, the appeal hearing was delayed to afford them time to obtain the funds to pay the outstanding fees. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that the outstanding fees had not been paid. Noting that the First Reading of the “Clean Hands” ordinance was scheduled for the latter part of the meeting, Mr. Lynn asked what the practical effect would be in this situation if the ordinance were in place. Mrs. Townshend indicated that the “Clean Hands” ordinance would enable her to issue the requested permit.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 4 Ms. Sandra Dean, representing The House of Pride, noted that they own 13 properties on North and South New Street. She stated that they have researched the ordinance and similar ordinances in other cities and, as a result, they requested withdrawal of the appeal of denial, while reserving the right to reapply for the building permit for 38 South New Street once The House of Pride meets the qualifications. Ms. Dean stated that she was hopeful that the “Clean Hands” ordinance would be adopted to allow them to obtain the permit. She also advised members that, at the same time, they are restructuring debt and some other financial planning to pay the demolition fees. Ms. Dean requested that Council take no further action on the demolition of 38 South New Street for a period of time to allow them to resolve the issues. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Ms. Dean stated that it would cost approximately $50,000 to repair the building. She noted that the insurance company has paid them and the funds are in an escrow account. Ms. Dean indicated that they plan to apply for a variance in order to rebuild a two-family unit. Mrs. Russell indicated that she would prefer a single-family home. Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the request to withdraw the Appeal of Denial of Permit #12-232 related to 38 South New Street. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 2012-05 AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2010-07 - WESLEY COLLEGE STREET AND ALLEY ABANDONMENTS On August 9, 2010, at the request of Wesley College, Resolution No. 2012-05 was adopted approving the alley and street abandonment of the 100 block of North Governors Avenue Alley West, the southern portion of the 200 block of North Governors Avenue Alley East, a portion of the unit block of North Bradford Street, the unit block of Fulton Street, a portion of the unit block of Cecil Street, a portion of the 200 block of North Bradford Street, and the northern portion of the unit block of North State Street Alley West. Included in the resolution was the stipulation that the abandonment be timed such that the City maintain ownership and maintenance of the subject streets and alleys until such time that they are physically altered by construction in accordance with a site plan approved by the Planning Commission. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the delayed timing of the abandonment has proven to be problematic for Wesley College in moving forward with the financing and construction for the streetscape project and they have, therefore, has requested that the street and alley abandonment and transfer of ownership occur immediately to allow the consolidation of the parcels and filing of the revised plot plan. She noted that both the Utility Committee and the Planning Commission have given a favorable recommendation regarding the request. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open and, with no one present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 5 By motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mrs. Williams, Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-05 by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent), as follows: A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2010-07 WHICH VACATED AND ABANDONED CERTAIN ALLEYS AND STREETS SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER. WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2010-07, adopted by City Council on August 9, 2010 vacated and abandoned the following streets and alleys: and Area #1 The 100 block of North Governors Avenue Alley West Area #2 The southern portion of the 200 block of North Governors Avenue Alley East Area #3 A portion of the unit block of North Bradford Street Area #4 The unit block of Fulton Street Area #5 A portion of the unit block of Cecil Street Area #6 A portion of the 200 block of North Bradford Street Area #7 The northern portion of the unit block of North State Street Alley West WHEREAS, the timing of the abandonment was such that the City would maintain ownership and maintenance of the subject streets and alleys until such time that they are physically altered by construction in accordance with a site plan approved by the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2010-07 was to be effective upon the filing of a revised plot plan of the aforesaid streets and alleys; and WHEREAS, the applicant for the alley and street abandonment has requested that the street and alley abandonment and transfer of ownership occur immediately to allow the consolidation of the parcels and filing of the revised plot plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: THAT Resolution No. 2010-07 be amended by deleting Section 4, Paragraph 1 - Timing of Abandonment and deleting duplicate Section 4 - Effective upon the filing of a revised plot. ADOPTED: APRIL 23, 2012 PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 2012-06 APPROVING ALLEY ABANDONMENT - EAST SIDE OF NORTH BRADFORD STREET (WESLEY COLLEGE) On August 9, 2010, at the request of Wesley College, Resolution No. 2012-05 was adopted approving the alley and street abandonment of the 100 block of North Governors Avenue Alley West, the southern portion of the 200 block of North Governors Avenue Alley East, a portion of the unit block of North Bradford Street, the unit block of Fulton Street, a portion of the unit block of Cecil Street, a portion of the 200 block of North Bradford Street, and the northern portion of the unit block of North State Street Alley West.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 6 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that a recent survey revealed that an eighth section of alley was omitted from the original request for abandonment and Wesley College has requested that it also be abandoned. She noted that this segment of alley is located within a Wesley College parking lot. Mrs. Townshend stated that both the Utility Committee and the Planning Commission have given a favorable recommendation regarding the request. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open and, with no one present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. By motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams, Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-06 by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent), as follows: A RESOLUTION VACATING AND ABANDONING A CERTAIN ALLEY SITUATED IN THE CITY OF DOVER. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: Section 1. The Council of the City of Dover hereby vacates and abandons the following alley: All that certain piece, parcel, or tract of land situated in the City of Dover, Kent County, State of Delaware, lying on the east side of North Bradford Street, being bounded on the north by lands of Wesley College, on the east by North State Street Alley West, on the south by other lands of Wesley College, and on the west by North Bradford Street, and being more particularly described as follows: Beginning at a point in the easterly right of way line of North Bradford Street at the northwest corner of a 10-foot-wide public alley and lands now or formerly of Wesley College, said point of beginning being South 16°13'11" West 92.67 feet, as measured from the southeast intersection of North Bradford Street and Fulton Street right of way lines, thence from said point of beginning and running with said lands of Wesley College; 1) North 73°46'49" East 125.35 feet to a point in the westerly right of way of North State Street Alley West, thence turning and running with said right of way of North State Street Alley West; 2) South 16°13'11" West 10.00 feet to a point at a corner of said public alley and other lands now or formerly of Wesley College, thence turning and running with said lands of Wesley College; 3) South 73°46'49" West 125.35 feet to a point at a corner of said public alley and in line of the easterly right of way line of North Bradford Street, thence turning and running with said easterly right of way line of North Bradford Street; 4) North 16°13'11" West 10.00 feet to the point and place of beginning and containing 1,254 square feet of land be the same, more or less. Section 2. Since no person has been deprived of property by the vacating and abandoning of the aforesaid alley, no compensation is awarded. Section 3. The City shall retain a utility easement for the entire length and width of the aforesaid alley and all costs of conveyance shall be borne by the property owners.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 7 Section 4. This resolution shall be effective upon the filing of a revised plot plan of the aforesaid alley. ADOPTED: APRIL 23, 2012 PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 123 BLUE BEACH DRIVE - POOL AND PUMP HOUSE (OWNER DEBORAH D. STATLER) In accordance with Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XI – Dangerous Buildings, Section 22-385 - Hearing before Council, of the Dover Code, in cases where it reasonably appears that there is an immediate danger to the life or safety of any person, unless a dangerous building is immediately repaired, vacated and closed, or demolished, the building inspector shall report such facts to the council, which may cause the immediate repair, vacation, or demolition of such dangerous building. Mr. Lynn indicated that he had a conflict of interest; therefore, he excused himself from the presentation and deliberations regarding this matter. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided a presentation including a chronological history and photos on the condition of the pool and associated pump house located at 123 Blue Beach Drive, owned by Deborah D. Statler (Exhibit #1). She noted that there have been numerous code violation cases related to the pool since 2002. On September 25, 2006, City Council declared the pool dangerous and ordered it repaired or demolished. In the months and years that followed, the demolition of the pool was delayed due to a court filing. In September 2010, the pool was found to be in compliance with Code requirements and the case was closed. Since that time, violations have re-emerged and a number of complaints from neighbors have been received about the pool in particular and the property in general. On February 13, 2012, City Council declared the residence and accessory structures at 123 Blue Beach Drive dangerous and ordered them repaired or demolished. This action was challenged in Chancery Court and the demolition was enjoined for perceived procedural deficiencies. Subsequent inspections have shown no improvements to the pool or pump house. The pump and filtration system do not appear to be operational and must be repaired. If the pool is to remain covered, it must be covered in a manner that prevents the collection of stagnant water, attracting insects and acting as a breeding area for mosquitoes. The pump house must be repaired or removed. The metal structure is leaning and must be stabilized; it must be painted to prevent further deterioration due to rust; and the doors must be repaired and made operational. Due to the continual code violations related to the pool and pump house, these structures are being presented to City Council for action under the Dangerous Building Ordinance. Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare the pool and the pump house dangerous; 2) order the pool and the pump house repaired or demolished by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the pool and the pump house if not completed by the owner by May 23, 2012; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the structures exist as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 8 Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that she believed the property taxes were paid; however, there were outstanding fines associated with the property. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. Mr. Eugene Ruane, 122 Shadow Court, (former City Council Member) advised members that his residence is located right around the corner from the subject property. He noted that the City has been trying to resolve this issue for 14 years. Mr. Ruane stated that there are properties very close to this property that are for sale. He felt that this property would deter the sale of those properties and that it was causing the property values in the neighborhood to deteriorate. Mr. Ruane stated that he supported the recommended action. Ms. Sandra Kinkus, 365 Fiddler’s Green, stated that this situation was not only affecting Blue Beach Drive, it was affecting the whole area of Crossgates as a poor example of what the City cannot do. She noted that there are six (6) properties that are directly affected and she hoped that the City could correct the situation. Ms. Deborah Statler, 123 Blue Beach Drive, stated that the shed was not part of this hearing based on the paragraph of the first page of the Notice of Hearing, which states that “the City Council will order the pool to be repaired or demolished”. Because the shed was not mentioned, she indicated that she was not prepared to argue against its demolition. Ms. Statler stated that the shed has been reinforced inside and out around the bottom and around one full end. She noted that the shed does not move, although it has been tilted since they purchased the property 19 years ago. Ms. Statler stated that the shed has been painted in the accessible area in the back that was rusted and there are plans to spray paint the area behind the fence when money, time, and weather permit. She indicated that it was built as an “open air” shed, which was open on one end and the doors were not present or functioning on the other end. Ms. Statler stated that the shed was built in accordance with the Code in force at that time. She advised members that the shed has a dirt floor to allow the hoses to pass through from the pump, the filter, and the pool. Ms. Statler noted that the shed has a rock and brick foundation. Ms. Statler stated that the pool was inspected by Atlantis Pools, who provided a letter (Exhibit #2) indicating that the pool is in a fully operational status but is in a closed, winterized condition due to the time of year. Ms. Statler stated that the pool is constructed of gunite, which must have water in it in the winter to prevent cracking. She stated that the pool is covered appropriately to keep the leaves and debris out and the water was treated with chlorine and algaecide at the time of winterizing. Ms. Statler advised members that the water level in the pool has been raised, as recommended by the pool company, to prevent the tarp from sagging and collecting additional water. The water on the tarp is being pumped off and the remaining water has had Clorox (bleach) added to it. Ms. Statler noted that the pool has been vandalized two (2) more times throughout this winterized season, as it was in 2009 and 2010 by a neighbor’s son and his friends. She stated that a police report was made.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 9 Ms. Statler attributed the mosquito issue to the fact that there is a creek running in and through the area, which is a heavily wooded and vined subdivision. She noted that the mosquitos are just as bad when her pool is fully functional, which she admitted has not always been the case. Ms. Statler felt that the smell was also coming from the leaves, undergrowth, and vines around the property and not from her pool. Ms. Statler noted that the arrest for failure to pay the fines, Code violations, fees, and fines imposed prior to 2010 were dismissed by Court #7 based on illegal and inappropriate actions taken by the City. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Ms. Statler stated that the photograph taken at 10:04 a.m. on April 23, 2012, was not an accurate representation of the pool’s current condition. She stated that she began working on the pool at noon and the water level was and continues to be raised, the standing water on the tarp was drained, and chlorox was added to the water that could not be drained. Ms. Statler stated that a temporary door was also placed on the shed. Mrs. Statler stated that the water level was not raised to the point that the tarp was taut and that she did not believe this was possible with an in-ground pool without the water spilling over the edge of the pool. Mr. Bonar stated that it was possible to have a cover that was taut and level with the ground. He suggested that it would take a day or two to increase the water level to this extent using a garden hose. There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed. Mrs. Townshend clarified that the fines being referenced were imposed in March and November of 2011, not the fines that were dismissed in 2010. Mr. Bonar moved to declare the pool and pump house located at 123 Blue Beach Drive dangerous and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson and Mr. Lynn absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 12 founded upon the invalidity of said resolution or any of its provisions shall be asserted, nor shall the validity of said resolution or any of its provisions be open to question in any court upon any ground whatsoever, except in an action or proceeding commenced within such period." By order of the City Council of the City of Dover. ADOPTED: APRIL 23, 2012 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - APRIL 9, 2012 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on April 9, 2012 with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Recommendation of Civilian Pension Board - Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) During their meeting of February 9, 2012, the Civilian Pension Board considered a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for current retirees and surviving spouses, with the following motion being made by Mr. Lester Blakeman: That all members of the Civilian Pension Plan who retired on or before June 30, 2007 receive a 4% cost of living adjustment effective January 1, 2013, that the retirement income of a retired member of the Civilian Pension Plan shall be increased by 2% per annum every January 1, and that this increase in retirement pay shall be cumulative and the previous year’s increase shall be included in the retired member’s retirement income for the purposes of calculating the annual 2% increase, and that the first 2% increase would be effective on January 1, 2014. During the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting of March 12, 2012, members recommended tabling consideration of a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for retirees and that staff include this item to be discussed during the Council Retreat to consider possible funding to provide a one-time COLA. Dr. McGlumphy advised members that the City Clerk had received a request from Mr. Blakeman to withdraw his motion in favor of a COLA. The Committee recommended acceptance of the Civilian Pension Board members' request to withdraw their recommendation in favor of consideration of a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). Assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator Responsibilities During the Special Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting held on March 27, 2012, members considered staff’s request for authorization to permanently assign the duties of the Emergency Management Coordinator position to Ms. Kay Dietz-Sass. At that time, members recommended postponing action regarding the assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator responsibilities until the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting scheduled for April 9, 2012.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 13 Dr. McGlumphy advised members that Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, was unable to attend the meeting and had requested that consideration of this matter be deferred until the Committee’s next meeting, scheduled for April 23, 2012. The Committee deferred consideration of this matter until the Committee’s meeting scheduled for April 23, 2012. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). Proposed Ordinance #2012-10 - Chapter 1 - General Provisions, Section 1-13 - Denial of Permits or Approvals for Failure to Comply with Requirements for Payment, Actions, or Filings (Clean Hands) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the purpose of the proposed ordinance was to amend the section of the code that is known as the “Clean Hands” ordinance. It denies approvals, permits, or other approvals to property owners who have delinquent obligations due to the city or outstanding code violations on properties. The denial is not specific to the property with the delinquency, but to all properties owned by that owner. Mrs. Townshend noted that several City departments have been working together in recent months to update and clarify the clean hands ordinance. She explained that the proposed amendments address a number of problems identified in the current language, as follows: 1) The proposal clarifies that the denial of approvals or permits is applicable to the owner or any corporation in which such owner is an owner or member. This makes it clear that an owner of corporations is subject to the denial if the corporations are not current. 2) The proposal lists the obligations that must be current. The proposed ordinance prohibits people from being appointed to a City committee, commission or board if that person has delinquent payments or uncorrected, documented code violations. 3) The proposed ordinance clarifies the language relating to violations of the Dover Code of Ordinances. 4) It changes the amount of time that staff has to notify the property owner of the denial from five (5) working days to ten working days. 5) It allows an exception if the property owner is requesting a permit to correct violations associated with the Dangerous Building Ordinance. 6) It changes the appeal from an appeal to City Council to an appeal to the City Manager. Mrs. Townshend noted that the proposed ordinance had been reviewed internally by the affected departments and by the Deputy City Solicitor. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Townshend verified that under the proposed ordinance, an individual who owes fines or levies on any property in the City would be unable to obtain a permit; however, she stated that the ordinance includes provisions for an appeal process and the Director

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 14 of Planning and Community Development and the City Solicitor or Deputy City Solicitor would be involved in that process. In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend explained that a previous draft of the Clean Hands ordinance included a provision for utility disconnection due to non-payment of taxes; however, this was removed at the suggestion of the Deputy City Solicitor because another section of code allows for this. She indicated that the City has the authority to disconnect service due to non-payment of taxes; however, a policy has not been put in place to do so. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated her understanding that the City would not establish new utility service for a property (even if the applicant is a renter) if the owner has delinquencies; however, service would not be terminated for an existing tenant for this reason. She stated that the only delinquency that would cause a tenant to be displaced would be non-payment of utilities for the occupied property. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend advised members that staff planned to revise the current application form to require disclosure of the names of members or owners of businesses. Mr. Hutchison stated that a defined policy was needed to enforce the provisions of the ordinance and that the policy should be approved by the City Solicitor. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that ordinances provide the City authority to take action; however, policy guidelines often set forth provisions that dictate how ordinances are enforced. Mr. Leary conveyed his feeling that staff was seeking guidance from Council regarding how aggressively the ordinance should be enforced. Dr. McGlumphy suggested that staff ensure that all language included in the ordinance was clear and understandable. Mrs. Russell felt that businesses should be held accountable to the same standards as individuals and that ordinances should be written to last for an extended period of time and be applied consistently. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend said that she was comfortable that the ordinance would be enforced uniformly for businesses and individuals. She stated that enforcement would be the responsibility of multiple departments and emphasized the need to communicate and share information between departments regarding delinquencies. Mrs. Townshend noted that the development of this ordinance was part of an effort to create uniformity and institute consistent policies. The Committee recommended adoption of Ordinance #2012-10 and to request staff to institute a consistent policy for implementing the provisions of the ordinance. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 15 Council Laptop Replacement Associated with Mandatory Paperless Packets Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, explained that in 2003, the City began providing laptops to Council members. At that time, paperless packets were made available on the City's website and to members of City Council for use during the meetings in lieu of paper packets. Over time, due to the weight and bulkiness of the laptops, members reverted back to using paper packets rather than the electronic versions for the meetings. At the suggestion of Councilman Hutchison, staff obtained pricing for tablet computers, which are much smaller than the standard laptop. Staff recommended purchasing 12 tablet computers, nine (9) for City Council members, one (1) for the Council Chamber recording secretary, and two (2) for civilian committee members' use during meetings, and that, if tablets were purchased and distributed, production of paper packets be discontinued. Mrs. McDowell noted that Council’s budget included all but $1,200 of the funds needed to purchase the laptops and that Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, had advised her that the remaining funds were available in the budget due to savings from a vehicle purchase. In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. McDowell stated that if the purchase were approved, Council members would be issued individual tablets and those used by committee members would be held by the Clerk’s Office. Responding to Mr. Leary, Mrs. McDowell affirmed that purchase of the tablet computers would create a monetary savings and conserve staff time. In response to Dr. Jones, Mrs. McDowell stated that many of the laptops currently used by Council had passed their life cycles and that they would likely be kept by the IT Department and used as “loaners” during elections and for other purposes. The Committee recommended authorizing staff to purchase 12 tablet computers and, once the tablets have been purchased and distributed, that production of paper packets be discontinued. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). Public Comment Period There was no one present wishing to address members. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 16 QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the Revenue Report as of March 31, 2012. She noted that the report included updated FY2012 and, when possible, FY2013 projections and briefed members on those changes. Mr. Bonar stated that he did not feel that the Red Light Camera revenue projection should be budgeted because it is not possible to accurately predict how many traffic violations will occur at a given intersection in one year. He suggested that it be removed from the budgetary process. Mrs. Williams concurred because of the diminishing returns related to compliance. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell stated that there was currently a $1.9M deficit. She stated that the method of transferring from the Electric Fund has been changed from a percentage transfer to a fixed dollar amount transfer. Mrs. Mitchell noted that costs, benefits, OPEB, and pension are still increasing and they are trying to fund the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Dr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of March 31, 2012, seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried. SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION BY CITY MANAGER - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY In accordance with Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection, Article II - Fire Department, Division I - Generally, Section 46-43 of the City Code, the City Manager, Mr. Scott D. Koenig, met with the Fire Chief to discuss fire company issues. He discovered that the equipment and facilities were being maintained in excellent condition and that the Robbins Hose Company continues to provide an outstanding level of service to the City of Dover. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the report of the Semi-Annual Robbins Hose Company Inspection, as submitted by the City Manager, seconded by Mrs. Russell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). 2012 MUNICIPAL ELECTION RESULTS Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reported the results of the 2012 Municipal Election held on April 17, 2012, as follows: FIRST DISTRICT COUNCIL THIRD DISTRICT COUNCIL Holly L. Malone 268 David L. Bonar 240 Beverly C. Williams 343 Howard Q.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 17 Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Election Results, as reported by the City Clerk. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.

Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting of May 14, 2012. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2012-10 - CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS, SECTION 1-13 - DENIAL OF PERMITS OR APPROVALS FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR PAYMENT, ACTIONS, OR FILINGS (CLEAN HANDS) FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2012-09 The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of April 9, 2012. Mr. Bonar moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. ORDINANCE #2012-09 - BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012 Mr. Hare moved for adoption of Ordinance #2012-09 (Exhibit #3), seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Anderson absent). COUNCIL MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Carey wished Council President Leary a happy birthday on Thursday. Dr. McGlumphy thanked Council members for the privilege of serving with them, the residents of the Second District for supporting him and giving him the opportunity to serve them, and the Council staff, the Mayor, the City Solicitor, and the City Manager for their efforts. Mrs. Williams thanked Dr. McGlumphy for his good advice and stated that he would be missed. Mr. Bonar stated that he deeply appreciated Dr. McGlumphy’s knowledge and the detailed work that he has done, especially related to the budget. Mr. Hutchison thanked Dr. McGlumphy for a job well done. Mayor Carey reminded members that Old Dover Days would be held on May 4, 5, and 6th. Mr. Bonar moved for adjournment, seconded by Mrs. William and unanimously carried.

EXHIBIT #2 Regular Council Meeting of 04/23/2012

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on April 23, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Lynn, Mr. Snaman, and Mr. Blakeman. Mrs. Williams was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Leary, Mr. Hutchison, and Mr. Hare. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Bonar requested that Item #5, Update - Garrison Oak Technical Park Project, be considered first. By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as amended. Update - Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that he signed the record plat last week and the subdivision can be recorded and the lots can be created. The master plan for the Garrison Energy Center received conditional approval by the Planning Commission on April 16, 2012, which lays the path forward for Calpine to obtain the necessary permitting associated with the facility, as well as continuing review of the site plan and addressing the comments and conditions resulting from the Development Advisory Committee (DAC) review. Mr. Koenig stated that Calpine’s presentation for the New Jobs and Infrastructure Fund grant application for approximately $2.5M is scheduled for review on April 26, 2012. Proposed Ordinance #2012-12 - Amending Chapter 110 - Utilities, Article III - Water Service, Division 1 - Generally, Section 110-61 - Definitions and Section 110-67 Private Wells Mrs. Sharon Duca, Interim Public Works Director, reminded members that Ordinance #2011-20, which was adopted on September 12, 2011, was intended to clarify the uses of wells within the City limits. She noted that, in recent months, situations have arisen which indicate the need for further clarification. Mrs. Duca advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2012-12 adds definitions pertaining to wells, provides clarification to the installation of shallow and agriculture wells, and provides for an administrative variance for shallow wells. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Duca stated that the ordinance addresses the recent constituent concerns by defining “farm” as a tract of land for agricultural use and shall include farm residences, buildings, and other structures located on the farm, and being accessories to a farm operation. Referring to (d)(1) Geothermal heat exchange wells, Mr. Lynn noted that there was very specific language related to these wells. He referenced an issue related to alternative energy encountered by a homeowners association that he represents and he requested that the City Solicitor review this section to ensure that it is consistent with State law. Mr. Lynn moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-12, as presented, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 2 Presentation by The Energy Authority (TEA) - Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) Related to Units 1 and 2 Mr. Jamie Mahne, Vice President of Client Services and Chief Client Officer of The Energy Authority, advised members that they had been requested to prepare an analysis of the benefits of offering McKee Run Units 1&2 into the next capacity auction for PJM given some concerns regarding the capital improvements required to keep the units active and available. He stated that offering the units for the auction would obligate the utility to maintain the units through the next auction timeframe, which runs from June 2015 to May 2016. Mr. Mahne reviewed the PowerPoint Presentation entitled Cost/Benefit Analysis for City of Dover McKee Run Units 1&2, dated April 23, 2012. Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding locational pricing, Mr. Mahne stated that the premium is sometimes $100 per megawatt-day (MWd). He noted that Dover has paid an average of $180 per Mwd since the 2007/08 planning year and the market has peaked at $245 per MWd. Mr. Bonar requested information on the five (5) year average premium paid and the penalties incurred. Mr. Mahne stated that they recommend the following: # In the short term, offer Units 1 & 2 into the 2015/16 capacity auction in May 2012, noting that the risks are that operational failure will expose Dover to incremental capacity auctions and penalties and if additional significant capital improvements are required in the next three (3) years (i.e., Alternative Scenario), Dover’s cash flows will be at risk. At that point, Dover may decide to replace the capacity in the incremental auction and not incur the capital expense. # In the long term, create an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for the City of Dover’s electric utility; survey all supply options, including new generation projects in and around Dover, and weigh against the cost of future capital improvements to Units 1&2; and take a holistic approach, to include future resource needs (i.e., wind); complete by April 2013. Mr. Bonar noted that an IRP can be very expensive. Responding, Mr. Mahne stated that an IRP based on known data would be less expensive. Mr. Blakeman expressed concern with the effect that the Calpine Energy Center would have on the capacity market once its 300 to 600 Mw is online. Mr. Mahne indicated that it would reduce the price; however, he noted that the effect of coal plant retirements and the increase in natural gas capacity that is being built is being taken into consideration for planning purposes. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Mahne stated that if there was no plant, the City’s net deficit would be $3.5M. The Committee took no action on this item.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on April 23, 2012 at 5:57 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Anderson and Dr. Jones were absent. Members of Council present were Council President Leary, Mr. Bonar (departed at 6:53 p.m.), Mr. Hutchison, and Mr. Lynn. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hare moved that items on the agenda be considered in reverse order, beginning with Item #7, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Authorization to Proceed with Reading Garden - Library Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, advised members that on February 28, 2011, Council approved the EDiS contract for the construction of the new Dover Public Library with the following language: “If there are apparent savings during the construction, the City Manager may reinstate options to construct some features that have been removed from the project through value engineering and present them to City Council for approval.” Ms. Cyr explained that during the value engineering process, the Reading Garden was removed from the project; however, economies were found in the Moveable Equipment, Fixed Equipment, and Housekeeping Equipment budget line items that, with the addition of funds from the building contingency budget, would provide adequate funding to reinstate the Reading Garden into the building project at a cost of $123,000. (Clerk’s Office Note: Following the meeting, Ms. Cyr provided a Memorandum dated April 24, 2012 (Attachment #1) indicating that $69,000 in savings was available in the Moveable Equipment budget line item and $55,000 in Fixed Equipment, creating a total savings of $124,000; therefore, no funds would be needed for the Reading Garden from the building project contingency funds.) She noted that there would be no increase in the total project cost. Ms. Cyr noted that, because the Reading Garden would be a long-term aspect of the Library that would last for the life of the building, staff believed it made fiscal sense to build it into the project at this time rather than attempting to incorporate it at a later date. She indicated that landscaping of the site began recently and it would be necessary to decide on this matter very soon. Staff recommended that the Reading Garden be reinstated in the new Library building project. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that change orders for the project have been within 0.5% and contingencies for change orders were built into the authorized project budget. He noted that staff has been working toward the goal of reincorporating the Reading Garden since construction began. Mr. Hare moved to recommend reinstatement of the Reading Garden to the new Library building project, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 2 Proposed Land Lease Agreement - Boys and Girls Club Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club approached the City of Dover several years ago about the potential of locating a new magnet facility at Schutte Park. The area under discussion was a triangle-shaped piece of land that was donated to the City of Dover by Stover Homes with the subdivision of Nottingham Meadows, bounded by the rights-of-way for the new Wyoming Mill Road alignment and the former Wyoming Mill Road alignment. On January 14, 2008, City Council approved Schutte Park as the location for the magnet site for the Boys and Girls Club, without being specific as to its location at Schutte Park and with the stipulation that its use would not cause any loss in current field space for the Central Delaware Soccer Association (CDSA). Mr. Koenig advised members that since that time, the Boys and Girls Club has been working on fundraising and planning for the development of this site. They have provided periodic updates to the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee. With the construction and opening of the new alignment of Wyoming Mill Road, the Boys and Girls Club is preparing for submission of a Site Development Plan application to the City of Dover Planning Commission. In order for this application to move forward, the City Manager’s signature as the property owner is required. In addition, the City of Dover must be prepared to enter into a long-term land lease agreement with the Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Koenig stated that the Boys and Girls Club is developing a site layout, which will largely be driven by the requirements of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) with regard to the entrance location. He reviewed one potential layout that showed the facility facing Wyoming Mill Road; however, he noted that other renderings have depicted it facing Hazlettville Road. Staff requested that City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a land lease that will take into account the various site constraints, including the entrance location and impact of the Source Water Protection Overlay Zone on the site. It was anticipated that once the right-of-way of the former alignment of Wyoming Mill Road is vacated, lot lines would be adjusted so that the Boys and Girls Club facility would be on a separate lot from the remainder of Schutte Park. Mr. Hare moved to recommend that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate and execute a lease agreement with the Boys and Girls Club for land at the corner of Hazlettville Road and Wyoming Mill Road on which the Boys and Girls Club will construct a new Boys and Girls Club facility, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. FY 2013 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the proposed draft Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for the General Fund. He explained that staff was currently utilizing this draft in the development of the proposed FY 2013 budget and in reviewing and implementing financial models. Mr. Koenig noted that since the City is facing a deficit next year, a number of the projects included were being reviewed and various changes are being discussed with staff; therefore it was likely that the CIP would have fewer projects when examined by Council during the budget review process. Mr. Hare moved to recommend acceptance of the draft Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) as presented, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 3 Presentation - Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) - Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that completion of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2011 was delayed for two (2) months and was accomplished in February 2012. She advised members that Faw Casson, the City’s auditor, indicated no significant audit findings for the fiscal year. Mrs. Mitchell reviewed a presentation entitled the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) - Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011. Responding to Dr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the General Employee Pension Fund was funded at 38.1% as of July 1, 2010 and the Police Pension Fund was funded at 52.3%. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Long-Term Liabilities for Compensated Absences and Debt represents the dollar amount of accrued sick and vacation leave for those employees who are eligible to retire. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend acceptance of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) - Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 as presented, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator Responsibilities During the Special Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting held on March 27, 2012, members considered staff’s request for authorization to permanently assign the duties of the Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) position to Mrs. Kay Dietz-Sass, Public Affairs Coordinator. At that time, members recommended postponing action regarding the assignment of EMC responsibilities until the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting scheduled for April 9, 2012. During the regular meeting of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee held on April 9, 2012, Dr. McGlumphy advised members that Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, was unable to attend the meeting and had requested that consideration of this matter be deferred until the meeting scheduled for April 23, 2012. Mr. Koenig reviewed a request to assign the duties of the EMC to Mrs. Kay Dietz-Sass. He advised members that over the past ten (10) years, emergency management duties have been executed by various positions and departments throughout City government, including the former Community Services Department, the Police Department and, most recently, the Public Services Department. After September 11, 2001, federal and state emergency management requirements became more complex, requiring and tracking National Incident Management System (NIMS) training and mandated a NIMS-compliant Emergency Management Plan. These complexities supported the need for a full-time Emergency Management Coordinator (Grade 120). The City’s first full-time EMC, Mr. Wayne Hutchison, was hired (promoted from the position of Inspector in the Fire Marshal’s Office) on June 2, 2008. Mr. Hutchison retired on December 23, 2010 with a final salary of $53,216. During his tenure, Mr. Hutchison developed notification protocols, equipped an EMC trailer, and secured various Homeland Security grants. In addition, Mr. Hutchison was assigned safety-related duties, such as the routine inspection of the Silver Lake Dam (due to engineering staff constraints) and providing general safety training for various employee groups. Due to the economic environment at the time of Mr. Hutchison’s announced retirement, the former City Manager elected

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 4 not to fill the vacated position. The duties of the position were divided among various staff members, including the Public Services Manager, the Public Affairs Coordinator, and the City Manager. Mr. Koenig explained that Mrs. Kay Dietz-Sass, Public Affairs Coordinator (Grade 116) has been a key member of the City’s emergency management team since her employment began. He indicated that, after considerable thought, he concluded that the best option to continue the City’s emergency management efforts was to request permission from City Council to assign the EMC responsibilities to Mrs. Dietz-Sass. He advised members that Mrs. Dietz-Sass has degrees in Business Management, General Business, and Marketing, has completed the entire Professional Development Series for Emergency Management, as well as successfully completing Advanced Public Information Officer training. Mrs. Dietz-Sass also completed a number of courses through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA). Mr. Koenig recommended that the EMC duties be assigned to Mrs. Dietz-Sass on a six (6) month trial basis. These additional duties would be in addition to her current duties as the Public Affairs Coordinator; thus she would be serving as both the Public Affairs Coordinator and the Emergency Management Coordinator. During this six (6) month trial basis, her salary of $40,830 would remain the same and a bonus of $1,100 per month would be paid to compensate her for the added responsibilities. This would increase her annualized compensation from $40,830 to $54,030. If her performance in both roles is acceptable to the City Manager at the end of the six (6) month trial, the bonus would be converted to base salary and her grade adjusted from 116 to 120. If the City Manager determines that one person cannot adequately perform the functions of both positions, then Mrs. Dietz-Sass’ responsibilities and compensation would be returned to the former level and other alternatives would be proposed. Mr. Koenig reviewed Wage and Benefit Information outlined in the proposal. Mr. Koenig reminded members that Mayor Carey had submitted a recommendation that the Public Information Officer and Emergency Management Coordinator positions remain separate in a memorandum dated April 17, 2012. Mr. Koenig provided members a memorandum dated April 23, 2012 responding to Mayor Carey’s recommendation (Attachment #2) and read this memorandum into the record. Mr. Koenig requested that members support assigning the Emergency Management Coordinator duties to Mrs. Dietz-Sass on a six (6) month trial basis. Mr. Hare suggested that the duties of the EMC be distributed among various departments as follows: • Silver Lake Dam Inspection - Public Works Department • Oversight of Ambulance Service - Fire Department Administrative Assistant or Fire Marshal’s Office • Coordination of Shelters - Fire Marshal’s Office • Inspection of Departments for Safety Needs - Human Resources Department

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 5 Responding, Mr. Koenig noted that the Human Resources Department is currently staffed by only two (2) individuals. Mr. Bonar stated that the City’s need for an EMC was a significant concern. He noted that the savings realized by the City by combining the two (2) positions was significant and expressed his hope that the Committee would release the proposal for consideration by Council. Mr. Hutchison noted that designation of an EMC was required in order for the City to receive funding in the event of a major storm or crisis and felt that this was a critical position for the City. Concurring, Mr. Koenig explained the importance of identifying this position within the organization because it enables the City to apply for emergency funds. He noted that the coordination of responsibilities, collection of data, and completion and submission of paperwork to DEMA and FEMA resulting from a recent hurricane was nearly a full-time job. Mrs. Mitchell advised members that the EMC position had been removed from the budget, so the funds requested would represent an increase in the budget. Mayor Carey stated that the previous EMC had certified training, was able to provide training to City employees in first aid and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) use, and could perform safety inspections; however, if the positions were merged, the City would have the extra expense of obtaining some of these services from outside the organization. He felt that the accuracy of the information he had been receiving over the past year and four (4) months (while responsibilities were divided among three (3) positions) was not up to the previous level (with the exception of the Silver Lake Dam inspection information), and indicated that he had prepared the recommendation because he thought that it was important to have separate employees performing public information and emergency management duties. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that the Public Affairs Coordinator is currently a full-time position and that the EMC duties would be additional responsibilities assumed by Mrs. Dietz-Sass based on current conditions in the City. He noted that this would require prioritizing the many tasks that are directed to Mrs. Dietz-Sass. Mr. Bonar advised members of the Committee that training for AED use, first aid, and other related topics is available for City employees through the Delaware State Fire School at a nominal cost. He felt that the proposal was logical and that the employee assuming dual roles should be compensated for additional responsibilities. Dr. McGlumphy requested that the proposed job class evaluation be completed appropriately to coincide with the job description. He stated that, although he felt the position was necessary, he did not support the proposed salary increase, noting recent salary increases in the range of 21% to 33% for four (4) positions in the City; however, he felt that if the proposal were “honed,” more favorable figures could be achieved. Dr. McGlumphy stated that he did not believe that this was an appropriate time to bring forth these types of salary increases and that, due to the anticipated budget deficit, these matters should not be discussed prior to the receipt of the Salary and Compensation Committee’s report and the budget review.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 6 Mr. Shevock stated that he concurred with the combining of the two (2) positions; however, he questioned if Mrs. Dietz-Sass would accept these responsibilities without additional compensation until the budget is presented. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that he would not consider it fair to request Mrs. Dietz-Sass to assume the additional responsibilities without additional compensation. He indicated that, if approved, his recommendation regarding the combining of the two (2) positions would be part of the draft budget presented for Council’s consideration. Mr. Shevock moved to forward the matter of the assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator responsibilities to City Council for consideration, seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a vote of two (2) yes and one (1) no (Dr. McGlumphy). Minority Recruitment Committee Recommendations The Minority Recruitment Committee (MRC) was commissioned by the former City Manager to develop recommendations to improve minority hiring for the City of Dover. The Committee held a series of meetings in 2011 and concluded their work in August 2011. During the City Council Meeting of February 13, 2012, members approved the Committee’s recommendation that the MRC Report be referred to staff for a report to the Committee within 60 days. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, provided an overview of the proposed Implementation Plan for the Minority Recruitment Committee Recommendations. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig indicated that he did not foresee any costs associated with implementing the Plan, with the exception of the possible employment of paid interns. He stated that programs that offered college credit for service could potentially be investigated. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that he was not aware of any harassment problems within the City; however, the City’s insurance carrier requires mandatory harassment training which is conducted by the Human Resources Department. He stated that the Police Department also offers harassment training for police officers. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that it was the feeling of Dr. Bobby Jones, Minority Recruitment Committee Chair, that it would be necessary to repair the morale problems that currently exist within the workplace prior to addressing minority recruitment issues within the City. This would allow new employees to join the workforce with a sense that they are welcome and that the organization is thriving. He stated that staff was making an effort to post jobs in areas where the minority community would have access and were reaching out to predominantly black colleges. Responding to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Koenig stated that factors other than race, including gender, were considered by the Committee in the development of their recommendations. He indicated that concerns were expressed about the numbers of employees in various categories; however, the Committee focused on other points related to employee morale, upward mobility and career ladders, enhanced technology to promote the City’s image, and recruitment and internships for high school and college students.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 7 In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Koenig stated that the City’s workforce does not currently represent the local community demographically by racial composition and that the Committee’s feeling was that the City should adopt the recommendations in the report in order to move in that direction. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that the City does not grant hiring preference to those who reside within City limits; however, all open positions are being advertised within the local community, citizens are aware that the City is hiring, and applications are currently being received. Mr. Hare moved to recommend acceptance of the Implementation Plan for the Minority Recruitment Committee Recommendations, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Mr. Shevock requested that the City Manager return to the Committee within one (1) year of the implementation of the Minority Recruitment Committee recommendations with a status report. Filling of Critical Positions During their Regular Meeting of January 23, 2012, City Council approved an amendment to the process for filling critical positions, which was approved by City Council on August 22, 2011, to specify that if a position becomes vacant that will affect public or employee safety or cause financial harm to the City, Permission to Recruit, Hiring Justification Outline, and Wage and Benefit Information for Employee Hiring and Transfers forms shall be submitted to the Legislative, Finance, and Administrative Committee, and that such requests would be forwarded to the City Manager and Controller/Treasurer for their review and recommendation prior to the Committee’s consideration. Due to time constraints, Mr. Shevock moved to defer consideration of filling the positions until a subsequent meeting. By unanimous consent, members agreed to consider filling the Mailroom Clerk, Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) I - Water, and Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) II - Wastewater positions and to defer consideration of filling the Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) II - Sanitation, Utility Maintenance Mechanic (UMM) I - Wastewater, and Water Plant Operator I - Water Treatment Plant positions until a subsequent meeting, due to time constraints. Mailroom Clerk Mr. Koenig explained that the function of the Mailroom Clerk is to distribute mail and perform other warehouse responsibilities. Based on staff review, an in-house posting was recommended for this position. The total impact of this position on the FY 2013 budget was projected at approximately $42,000.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 PAGE 8 Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that the duties of this position have been shared by a number of storekeepers in the warehouse during previous months, one of whom has since retired. It was staff’s opinion that the position should be filled and that the vacant storekeeper position would be eliminated in FY 2013. He noted that it was expected that this position would be filled within the City and that an internal review would then be performed to determine whether the vacated position should be filled. Staff recommended approval of the request to fill the Mailroom Clerk position. Responding to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Koenig confirmed that the position would be filled at a Pay Grade of 13, Step 1, at the bottom of the classification. Mr. Schevock moved to recommend approval of the request to fill the Mailroom Clerk position, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) I - Water (Downgrade from Water Serviceperson) and Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) II - Wastewater (Downgrade from Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) II) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a request to fill the position of one (1) Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) I - Water (downgrade from Water Serviceperson) and one (1) Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) II - Wastewater (downgrade from Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) II). Mr. Koenig explained the intent that these positions would be to focus on the maintenance of the sewer system and allow the jet truck to operate on a more detailed and defined schedule due to a growing backlog of maintenance needs in the wastewater utility. He noted that the annual wages and benefits of the two (2) current staff persons equated to $126,501 and the revised proposal, which includes the MEO I and MEO II, has a total value of $92,089, which is a reduction of $34,412. Mr. Koenig indicated that staff has deemed these two (2) positions as critical to the long-term maintenance needs of the utility and anticipated that the projected hire date of these employees would be July 1, 2012. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig indicated that employees in the Water/Wastewater Division are typically hired from outside the City organization, typically from the construction industry. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Koenig noted that the positions were downgraded to meet the current needs of the utility to run the jet truck rather than performing the metering and construction crew functions performed by previous staff members and the position classifications were adjusted accordingly. He explained that the utility has had some changing needs and this proposal addresses them by putting two (2) employees on maintenance. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the request to fill the Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) I - Water and Motor Equipment Operator (MEO) II - Wastewater positions, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.

Mr. Shevock asked me for the value of savings that we had found in the two equipment line items of the project's budget. My answer was incomplete and I apologize for that. The savings that was found is: Moveable Equipment: $ 69,000 Fixed Equipment: $ 55,000 $ 124,000 This savings allows us to not make use of the Contingency in the budget for the Reading Garden. We share Mr. Shevock's concern; and want to make sure that the Contingency is available through the end of the project. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions. cc: Scott Koenig, City Manager Donna Mitchell, City Controller Zachery Carter, Director, Parks Recreation and Library

ATTACHMENT #2 LF&A Meeting of April 23, 2012

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting was held on April 25, 2012 at 5:03 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mrs. Russell (arrived at 5:09 p.m), and Mr. Davis. Mr. Lynn was absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Due to the lack of a quorum at the commencement of the meeting, Mr. Hutchison requested that consideration of Agenda Item #1, FY 2013 Capital Investment Plan (CIP), be deferred until later in the meeting, noting that no official action could be taken until a quorum was attained. Update - Dover High Construction Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that progress was continuing on the construction of the new Dover High School and that steel was currently being set. She advised members that staff recently discussed the signalization of the intersection at the east entrance of the school with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and the Capital School District’s design team and that a signal could not be placed at the intersection until a traffic study is performed. She explained that if the study concludes that a signal is not warranted, an alternate plan must be developed to allow pedestrian access to the school. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, DelDOT, explained that the study would measure the speed and amount of traffic during normal conditions and should be done before summer to accurately reflect traffic flow. Mrs. Townshend stated that the monthly construction coordination meeting scheduled during the previous week was canceled and staff was awaiting information regarding rescheduling. She noted that another significant topic to be discussed was pedestrian circulation at the school and that the Capital School District would be coordinating with DelDOT on this issue. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that construction of the high school was on schedule. Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects - Gary Laing Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), provided members a briefing on DelDOT Projects, as follows: DelDOT Repaving Project The repaving project, which involves milling, patching, and paving of streets, as well as construction of ramps and new crosswalks in pedestrian crossings in seven (7) locations in the City, is underway. Mr. Laing noted that DelDOT was awaiting receipt of a waiver of the noise ordinance from the City for the project and Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that she would provide this. Mr. Laing explained that most of the work was being performed at night; however, some construction in residential areas (such as curb cutting) was being done during the day. He indicated that DelDOT staff met with members of the Historic District Commission and informed them that new pavement striping at the intersections of State and Loockerman and State and Water Streets would be thermoplastic, as required by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which has no allowance for variation in historic areas.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 25, 2012 PAGE 2 West Dover Connector A public workshop was held two (2) weeks ago to provide information on the engineering and alignment of the roadway. The workshop was well attended and positively received. Real estate acquisition for the project is scheduled for 2012, followed by final design and construction. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Laing explained that the connector’s interface with the railroad tracks would be a “flyover.” Wyoming Mill Road Project This project is complete. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector Mr. Laing did not anticipate that this project would be addressed in the near future due to budget constraints. He indicated that the project was not included when the Community Transportation Plan (CTP) was developed during the previous year and that DelDOT would be seeking input from the City of Dover, the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC) regarding their views on the priority of this project compared to other proposed transportation projects in the area. Mr. Laing advised members that he would be leaving DelDOT on May 4, 2012 and expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to work with the Committee. He noted that no successor had been named to his position and was unsure if another staff member would have direct responsibility for public relations within the agency in the future; however, he indicated that DelDOT personnel were well versed regarding City projects. Briefing on Dover/Kent Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects - Rich Vetter During the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting held on February 29, 2012, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) had proposed bicycle/pedestrian improvements in the downtown Dover area. Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), provided members with a concept plan and artist’s rendering depicting proposed traffic calming solutions for the portion of the bike path that would interface with the area of Loockerman Street just east of Fraizer’s Restaurant (Attachment #1). He noted that this section of the street is scheduled for repaving in the near future and it is proposed that striping be added at that time to create 4-foot-wide bike lanes. Mr. Vetter explained that traffic calming islands were proposed for the area of Loockerman Street east of Park Drive in an effort to reduce speeds and form a gateway to the downtown area. He stated that a workshop was scheduled to discuss the proposed bicycle/pedestrian improvements on May 10, 2012 in the Council Chambers at City Hall. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Vetter stated that, if approved, design of the project would take place in FY 13, with construction the following year. Noting the presence of a quorum, Mr. Hutchison requested a motion for the approval of the agenda. Mrs. Russell moved for approval of the agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 25, 2012 PAGE 3 FY 2013 Five-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the projects in the Draft FY 2013 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) that were related to safety and financed through the General Fund, as follows 1) The annual contribution to Robbins Hose Company to pay the debt on fire trucks. Mr. Koenig indicated that this is a fixed contribution that would amount to $238,524 for FY 2013. 2) Replacement of the main electric breaker at the police station. Mr. Koenig noted that problems had been experienced with the power supply unit to the police station and the estimated cost of replacing the breaker would be $33,800. 3) The repair and microsealing of the Police Department parking lot. Mr. Koenig noted that this item was previously planned for financing through the General Fund; however, it is now planned for payment through funds that Council has appropriated through a loan and bond for a street paving project; consequently, this project is a General Fund item but will be paid from bond proceeds rather than general tax dollars. 4) The replacement of vehicles. Mr. Koenig explained that the Police Department was the only department proposing the purchase of vehicles related to safety. He advised members that the draft CIP proposed nine (9) vehicles for purchase; however, he requested that the Police Chief reduce the number of vehicles since a “gap” was anticipated in the budget. Mr. Koenig stated that the CIP includes nine (9) vehicles per year for the out years. He noted that Police Department vehicles incur heavy use, long hours, and “rough” conditions. Mr. Hutchison requested that staff provide information on the nature of each vehicle’s use and the mileage breakdown when this matter is discussed during the budget process. By unanimous consent, members recommended acceptance of the report as presented. Mr. Davis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mrs. Russell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:30 P.M.

Bradford Street for a report of a gunshot being fired into a residence. Upon arrival, officers learned that there was a verbal confrontation in front of the residence between the victim residents and a group of black male subjects approximately thirty minutes prior to the shooting. At the time of the shooting, a 14 year old victim advised he was standing in a second story window and saw a laser light illuminated on his clothing from outside the residence. The 14 year old moved out of the window and then heard the gunshot. The bullet penetrated the window and several walls in the residence. None of the seven residents in the home were injured. The investigation was turned over to the Dover Police Criminal Investigations Unit.  On Thursday, March 8, 2012, the Criminal Investigations Unit began investigating a complaint of child abuse that occurred in the 100 block of Haman Drive in Dover. The investigation revealed that a five year old child was sexually assaulted by a 29 year old relative. These assaults occurred in June of 2010 at the subject and victim’s residences. On March 9, 2012, the perpetrator was arrested without incident.  On Friday, March 9, 2012, at approximately 0115 hours, Dover Officers responded to a reported shooting in the parking lot of a home supplies store which is adjacent to a night club. A 29 year old male victim and a 31 year old male victim were shot by an unknown black male while walking with a group of subjects to their car. Both victims were treated and released from Bay Health for minor gunshot wounds to the lower left leg and the other to the right thigh. The victims and witnesses stated that a group of subjects were walking to their vehicles from the night club when a black male, who was standing in the home supplies store parking lot, removed a firearm from a dark colored SUV and fired at the group, firing 5-6 rounds. The two victims were the only ones struck by the gunfire. The dark SUV then fled the scene. The suspect is described as a light skinned black male, approximately 22 years of age, thin build, wearing a denim jacket, blue jeans and a green and white Seattle Supersonics hat. Officers from the Criminal Investigations Unit are continuing their investigation.

Report to Mayor and Council March 2012 Page 4  On Saturday, March 17, 2012, at 1849 hours, a black male entered a local cigar shop located on S. State Street and produced a handgun. The subject then pointed the gun at a customer and removed money from him. He then demanded money from the clerk and after obtaining same, fled on foot. The first arriving Dover Officer observed the subject running and hiding behind bushes in the area of S. Governors Avenue. The officer approached the subject who then fired several shots at the officer. The officer returned fire, and as other Dover Officers were arriving on scene, the subject dropped his gun and surrendered. He was taken into custody and the weapon was recovered as well as the stolen money. Neither the officer nor the subject was injured. Two of the subject’s rounds struck two occupied residences in the 800 block of S. Governors Avenue. The subject was later identified.  On Wednesday, March 21, 2012, at approximately 1045 hours, members of the Dover Police Drugs, Vice, and Organized Crime Unit conducted a search warrant at a convenience store on Walker Road in reference to the sale and distribution of bath salts. Dover Detectives seized 471 doses of bath salts, 450 doses of synthetic marijuana, thousands of items of drug paraphernalia and over $4,500.00 USC. Three subjects, two of which were the shop owners and an employee, all of Middletown, Delaware, were arrested in connection with the search warrant.  On Monday, March 26, 2012 at approximately 0225 hours, Dover Officers responded to the 100 block of Willis Road for a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, officers contacted a resident of an apartment who advised that an unknown black male knocked on her door. When she opened the door, she noticed that the suspect was carrying a shotgun. She slammed the door closed and the suspect fired into the front door. The suspect then walked across the street and fired another shot into a residence on Willis Road. One person from each residence was transported to Bay Health and treated for minor injuries resulting from debris caused by the shots. The suspect is described as a short black male wearing a black Du-rag, heavy black coat, and black pants.  On Sunday, March 27, 2012, at approximately 0653 hours, Dover Officers responded to the east side of Silver Lake for a report of a car in the water with the driver still inside. Upon arrival the officers observed that the vehicle, a 2008 Lincoln MKX SUV, was in the stream side of the spillway and the driver was unresponsive. One of the officers entered the water, forced entry, and removed the driver from the vehicle pulling him to shore. The driver was then turned over to EMS who administered aid and transported the 62 year old subject to Bay Health Medical, where he was treated for hypothermia. He was later released from the hospital and arrested for DUI and Careless Driving.  On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 1545 hours, Dover Officers responded to a reported shooting in an apartment complex. The 21 year old male victim was located inside the Kent County Family Court building with a gunshot wound to the lower right leg. The victim advised he was shot in the area of River Road and East Water Street. The victim further advised that he ran to Family Court for help. The victim was transported to Bay Health for treatment and was admitted in stable condition. The Criminal Investigations Unit began their investigation into the incident and discovered numerous inconsistencies in the victim’s account of the incident. When interviewed, the victim refused to cooperate in the identification of the suspect. Detectives obtained a warrant for the victim for felony Hindering Prosecution.  It is a privilege to announce that the Dover Police Department has met and exceeded the requirements of a highly regarded and broadly recognized body of law enforcement standards, and was accredited for the fifth time by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Inc. (CALEA) on March 25, 2012. A team of CALEA assessors arrived in December, 2011 to examine all aspects of the Dover Police Department’s policies, procedures, management, operations and support services. The assessors reviewed written materials, interviewed individuals and visited offices and other places where compliance could be witnessed and verified. Their report was then sent to the CALEA commission for review by a team of independent assessors in order to determine if the Dover Police Department had met this very high level of excellence. There are 480 standards of compliance that are reviewed. It is with great pride that the Dover Police reports that none of the 480 standards are in non-compliance. In addition to being re-accredited, the Dover Police Department also received the “Accreditation with Excellence Award” which has only been issued to 34 police agencies nationwide, as well as international departments from Mexico and Canada. On Saturday, March 24, 2012, members of the Dover Police Department as well as Mayor Carleton E. Carey were presented with this prestigious award while attending the conference in Mobile, Alabama.

I-6 I.5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (91.200 (c)) The Consolidated Annual Action Plan (FY 2012) is a one year plan mandated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The new local regulatory provisions for the five year Consolidated Plan Amendments have been included in this plan. This plan identifies the specific needs concerning affordable housing, homeownership, housing rehabilitation and economic development needs. The 2012 goals in order of priority are: 1. Provide aid to special needs persons. 2. Preserve the existing housing stock in the City of Dover. 3. Encourage owner occupied housing in low to moderate income areas. 4. Provide safe and livable neighborhoods. During the 2011 program year, the following activities were accomplished. Three (3) low to moderate income owner occupied homes were brought up to code through the housing rehabilitation program. Seven (7) low to moderate income families purchased homes through the City’s homeownership program. Motel Vouchers have been provided to seventeen (17) homeless persons year to date by Connections Community Support Program. CDBG funding was utilized to cover the operations cost for Dover Interfaith Mission to the Homeless. I.6 CONSULTATION WITH LOCAL HOUSING PROVIDERS AND CITIZEN PARTICIPANTS The National Council on Agricultural Life and labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) provides comprehensive homeownership counseling services and technical assistance to non-profits involved with the HOME program, Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity and the City of Dover Homeownership Assistance Program. There is a network of service providers presently operating in Dover that serve the City’s poor. These providers include the State of Delaware Division of Health and Social Services, the State Service Centers, People’s Place II and the Dover Interfaith Mission for the Homeless that shelter up to 150 homeless men annually. Connections Community Support Program is the only permanent supportive housing program for chronically homeless adults located in the City of Dover. This program provides permanent housing and supportive services to ten chronically homeless persons with substance use disorders, offering them immediate access to housing and wrap around services. It is the City’s intention to support programs to eliminate significant barriers to affordable housing.

I-7 The Elizabeth W. Murphey School services children that are considered homeless under the protection of the McKinney – Vento Act. This agency services 38 teens and young adults for housing and long term care, and services 90 teens and young adults in their day programming. I.7 MARKET ANALYSIS Vacant, Abandoned Buildings (91.210 (a)) Currently, there are 253 vacant buildings located in the City of Dover, where 226 are suitable for rehabilitation and 27 are beyond repairs and need to be demolished as reported from the City of Dover Inspections Department. Chronic Homelessness (91.210 (c)) Connections Community Support Program is the only agency in the City of Dover that exclusively services the chronically homeless. Their facility has ten (10) beds in addition to supportive services programs for their clients. Strategic Plan Allocation of Investments (91.215(a)(1) In preparation of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2010-2014), two workshops were conducted for the citizens to determine the needs of the community. The top priorities that were determined in the workshops were homelessness and housing needs which the City will continue to support activities city-wide that will service this need. Specific Objectives (91.215 (a)(4)) Increase the availability of affordable housing The City will continue to support the Homeownership Assistance Program by providing down payment or settlement assistance to at least eight first time homebuyers within the program year to increase affordable housing opportunities for low to moderate income persons on an annual basis. Through the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program initiative, affordable housing will be available citywide to qualifying families. Improve the quality of owner housing The City will continue to support the Housing Rehabilitation Program by rehabilitating housing found in violation of the City’s code and support the emergency home repair projects to decrease the number of substandard houses in the City of Dover on an annual basis.

I-8 End Chronic Homelessness The City will support agencies that provide facilities and supportive services for the chronically homeless to assist in eliminating barriers to affordable housing during the program year and will continue to the support these agencies when possible. Improve quality of affordable rental housing The City will support affordable rental housing projects when possible that will provide affordable housing to low to moderate income persons to assist in increasing affordable housing opportunities for low to moderate income persons. The City will also continue to conduct code enforcement inspections on rental units throughout the City to bring the units up to the City’s housing code. Public housing (91.215(c)) The City has partnered with Dover Housing Authority as part Senator Carper’s Homeownership Initiative to provide affordable housing to low to moderate income persons by purchasing substandard property in the Target Area and rehabbing the properties to be sold to low to moderate income persons. The City has assisted in this project by providing grants to Dover Housing Authority in 2005 and 2006 to renovate two properties in the target area to be sold to low to moderate income persons. The City has also provided settlement assistance to families in this program to purchase affordable housing that has been renovated in the target area. Homeless (91.215(d) (4) The City of Dover is involved in several efforts to promote homeownership throughout the City particularly in the Downtown Target Area. The City will review alternatives for zoning amendments that promote the construction or general availability of affordable homeownership opportunities. The City will also support those agencies that provide housing and supportive services for the chronically homeless that will help with the transition to permanent and independent living when possible. Special Needs (91.215(g)) Handicapped Disabled – Kent Crest Inc. offers residential services for persons with disabilities throughout Delaware. There are three housing options available depending on the needs of the client. Community homes that services up to five people with 24 hour support staff, supported living if the client chooses to live independently, and supportive services available through Kent Crest such as transportation needs and apartment living is also available if the client wants fewer roommates than a group home which also has 24 hour support staff available depending on the needs of the client.

I-9 Connections Community Support Program also has affordable rental housing that services up to five persons in Dover with 24 hour support staff that was funded through the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Persons with AIDS – Since 1997, Delaware State Housing Authority has awarded HOPWA funding to the HIV consortium to provide tenant based rental assistance to people with HIV/AIDS. The program is currently providing rental assistance to 34 families with 40 percent living in Kent County. Presently, the waiting time for rental assistance is approximately four years. Substance Abuse – Connections Community Support Program has a facility in the City that services adults that have substance use disorders that receive treatment through their Alcohol and Drug Day Treatment Program. Serenity Place also has a facility that offers a structured alcohol and drug free treatment setting for persons recovering from addiction. Serenity Place offers several individualized treatment plans depending on the needs of the client. Neighborhood Revitalization (91.215(g)) Currently underway are various projects to continue with the efforts of the revitalization of the Downtown Target Area and surrounding areas around the City. Specific objectives the City has for carrying out these projects include providing a suitable living environment and decent housing. The City was awarded $1.5 million in Neighborhood Stabilization funding to purchase foreclosed and abandoned properties in the highest concentration areas, renovating these properties and selling them at discount to qualified homebuyers. The City through its NSP partners has purchased nine properties; has sold four, one is a lease purchase, one is a group home that provides affordable rental housing for persons with disabilities and three homes are currently for sale. Recently, several owner occupied homes have been rehabilitated through the City of Dover Housing Repair Program and through Milford Housing’s Emergency Home Repair Program who completes emergency repairs on owner occupied homes to eliminate severe safety hazards. With the completion of these projects, the number of substandard housing has been decreased, and the neighborhood has become more desirable to live in. Coordination (91.215(l)) Community Development staff has been identified as a stakeholder and serves as a member of the Interagency Homeless Council to oversee the implementation of the Ten Year Plan to end Chronic Homelessness and educate the community about the need and for advantages of ending chronic homelessness. The City has developed the following goals to end chronic homelessness over the next seven years:

I-10 Revise zoning and subdivision ordinances and procedures to encourage low-cost quality projects. Continue to utilize programs to eliminate significant barriers to affordable housing. Continue working with the two housing authorities and other housing providers to provide assistance to very low and extremely low income residents. Continue working with the Delaware Fair Housing Task Force to ensure fair treatment and fair housing practices are being administered to the City of Dover residents. I.8 RESOURCES (A) FEDERAL PROGRAMS The City of Dover anticipates that it will be pursuing funding opportunities in conjunction with the following federal programs to support the activities specified in this Consolidated Plan: Affordable Housing Program: Provides subsidy funds for low-income and moderate- income households through number of institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) for the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of affordable rental or owner occupied housing. Responsible agency: FHLBB. Community Investment Program: Provides funds through a number of institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBB) for community – oriented mortgage lending, including home purchase and rehabilitation for both renter and owner occupants, and to finance commercial and economic development activities. Responsible agency: FHLBB. Lead Based Paint Abatement Program: Provides grants to abate lead-based paint and lead dust in low and moderate-income owner occupied units, and in low-income privately owned rental units. Responsible agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development. (B) NON-FEDERAL PUBLIC PROGRAMS 1. STATE PROGRAMS Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRLP): Provides home improvement loans to owner-occupants or landlords interested in moderately rehabilitating existing properties. These loans, up to a maximum amount of $15,000 per unit, are made at 3% interest rate for a term up to ten years. Program is available statewide.

I-11 2. LOCAL PROGRAMS City of Dover Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program: This program has been designed to expand housing opportunities and housing choices for low and moderate income persons living in targeted areas of Dover, to protect the public health and welfare of Dover citizens, especially low and moderate income persons by: 1) Preventing or eliminating slums or neighborhood blight. 2) Rehabilitation of substandard owner occupied housing. 3) Funding special needs facilities. The following is a brief list of the projects funded through the City of Dover’s CDBG program demonstrating the range of activities covered by the program:  ADA improvements have been made to several city-owned buildings making them handicap accessible.  Connections Community Support Program provided motel vouchers to ten homeless persons (year to date).  Down payment and settlement assistance was provided to 7 first time homebuyers who are low to moderate income persons during the program year.  In 2011, there were three owner occupied houses rehabilitated to meet the standards of the City Housing Code under the Homeowner Rehabilitation Assistance Program. Target Block Program The purpose of the target block approach is to concentrate resources available to the public, private, and non-profit sector’s for housing programs in a specific area (known as the Target Block). The Target Block consists of one of Dover’s oldest working class neighborhoods located in west central Downtown. This concentrated approach is to insure the likelihood of an immediate visual impact and long-term stabilizing effect of each area. The major element of the Target Block Program will be concentrated home-to-home internal inspections to determine deficiencies which need to be corrected. Substandard housing requiring plumbing and electrical updates to meet Dover’s building code, but which is basically sound and suitable for rehabilitation have been targeted. A sufficient number of low and moderate income families must reside in the area.

I-12 Inclusionary Zoning: Unlike many communities, Dover has not practiced “exclusionary zoning” were most of the undeveloped land is designated for large lot single family detached homes. To the contrary, The Dover Plan (Dover’s Comprehensive Plan) designates a large portion of undeveloped lands for medium density housing, and a smaller but significant portion for high density housing. The land is subsequently zoned accordingly, permitting a range of residential densities and housing types. The most recent 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update was adopted in February 2009 with amendments in November 2009, March 2011, April 2011 and March 2012. The Land Development Plan specifically identifies a range of residential land uses from low density to high density throughout the City. The plan continues to recommend a range of residential densities and focuses specifically on housing in one chapter. Traditional Neighborhood Design Zone: The ordinance establishing the Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) was adopted in 2004 allows for the creation of a walkable pedestrian friendly mixed-use neighborhood with residential, commercial, and professional office areas. As the first TND project in the City, the residential area of Eden Hill Farm TND began construction in 2008 and continues today. By the end of 2011 Phase I of the residential district included a total of 53 townhouses and six duplexes with construction of additional townhouse units continuing into 2012. In 2008, the first office building in the office district was completed housing a variety of medical offices, a pharmacy, café and walk in care center. The general overall master plan for the Eden Hill Farm TND development incorporates a mix of residential types from single family homes to townhouses and the potential for apartments over commercial uses. Planned Neighborhood Design Option: The Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) encourages superior site design by relaxing bulk standards, requiring more open space and recreational areas, permitting various housing styles in all zones, and providing incentives to mix housing types to encourage less homogeneous development patterns. Accessory apartment associated with single family residences are permitted if certain design criteria are met. Density bonuses for community features (such as neighborhood commercial uses for day care centers) are offered. Although there are no direct requirements for affordable housing or subsidized units, clearly these types of units could easily be accommodated within these style developments. Four PND developments are currently under construction (Lexington Glen, Clearview Meadows, Village of Cannon Mills and Patriot Village) which propose to offer over 800 new housing units including single family detached, townhouses, duplexes, and apartment units. Stonebrook West and Stonebrook East are PND projects with a mix of unit types yet to start construction. Completed under the provisions of the Senior Citizen Housing Option of the PND, the Luther Village PND (Phase I and Phase II) provides 100 style units for low & very low income persons. The Village of Maple Dale PND Senior Citizen Housing Option is a townhouse and apartment style condo project adjacent to the golf course. Other Housing Projects: Several housing projects are also under review including Leander Lakes Apartments (240 units), The Arbors (48 units), and Dove View apartments (144 units). They will provide housing adjacent to other residential types and near commercial areas. The

I-13 Blue Hen Apartments Complex recently completed construction of 162 apartments. Currently under construction, the Bayard Plaza project located in Downtown Dover is a mixed use project with commercial /retail tenant space on the first floor with 48 apartments above. Proactive Code Enforcement: The City of Dover has adopted the 2009 ICC International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) as its Housing Code and has four full time Code Enforcement Officers dedicated to enforcing the provisions of the IPMC and other provisions of the Dover Code. The Officers work throughout the City, but has concentrated efforts on the older neighborhoods in west central Dover. Code Enforcement Staff routinely inspect rental dwelling units to ensure that they meet the requirements of the IPMC. Inspections typically include all exterior and interior structural members, heating, plumbing, and venting systems, space requirements, sanitary facilities and exterior property maintenance. (C) PRIVATE RESOURCES For-profit Resources In the for-profit area the major resources for housing will be local lending institutions that are looking for quality housing projects (ownership and rental) to support in conjunction with their requirement to comply with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Several local banking institutions in response to CRA requirements have joined together to form the Delaware Community Investment Council. The Council will provide low-interest loans to non-profits for developing affordable housing. Favorable mortgage lending terms for projects not typically financed that are in areas under-served by local financial institutions will be the primary resource expected. Non-Profit Resources There are several non-profit foundations that serve the Dover area and have established housing and housing related services as priorities for their annual or semi-annual grants. Among them are the following: Delaware Community Foundation Crystal Trust Milton and Hattie Kutz Foundation Gannett Communities Funds In addition to non-profit foundations there are several non-profit organizations that provide housing or housing related services. For example the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) provides comprehensive home ownership counseling services and technical assistance to non-profits involved with the HOME program, Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity and Dover’s First Start Home Ownership Down Payment and Settlement Program.

In addition, the Planning Office will directly manage and administer the City of Dover Home Ownership Assistance Program. .

II-22 II.1 HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS ACTIVITIES: At the present time, there are six scattered site neighborhood homes in the City of Dover that have been developed by the Alliance for the Mentally Ill in Delaware. These homes provide housing for persons who are chronically mentally ill. The homes have been funded through the HUD Section 202 Program so that the residents pay 30% of their adjusted gross income for rent and utilities. The homes have project based rent subsidies. The Delaware HIV Consortium’s HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS) program is a Consortium that entered into a contract with the Delaware State Housing Authority to provide tenant based rental assistance to people with HIV/AIDS in the State of Delaware. This program is now fully operational statewide. Clients are referred to the program by staff from agencies that provide HIV case management services such as Kent County Counseling Services and the Division of Public Health located in the City of Dover. In Kent County, the program currently provides rental assistance to 40% of families within the State and a four year waiting list of families needing rental housing. Because the demand for the program is greater than can be met, staff encourages all program participants and potential program participants to apply for alternate forms of subsidized housing through such avenues as Dover Housing Authority and the Delaware State Housing Authority. II.2 LEAD BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION (91.215 (i)) Currently, the State of Delaware Department of Public Health enforces lead based paint abatement within the City of Dover. Under the State's program, families with children who have been diagnosed by the Public Health centers with lead poisoning are referred to a State Lead Based Paint Inspector. The inspector then performs the relevant technical analysis of the family’s residence. If lead based paint is discovered, abatement is required. The City of Dover Department of Planning and Inspections acts in partnership with the State in assuring that lead paint hazards are reduced or eliminated, and that affected housing units are brought up to code. The City currently requires lead-based paint testing and interim controls in conjunction with its CDBG rehabilitation program. The City of Dover Department of Planning and Inspections does not have the equipment necessary to accurately identify lead-based paint during housing inspections. In addition to the activities of the City of Dover and the State of Delaware Department of Public Health, the Dover Housing Authority has been active in lead based paint abatement in the city. The Dover Housing Authority has tested and abated lead-based paint in all its public housing units. The Dover Housing Authority also deals with the lead paint hazards in private rental units through the enforcement of the Housing Quality Standards in conjunction with its Section 8 Rental Certificate/ Rental Voucher Program.

II-23 II.3 ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY (24 CFR 91.215 (f)) From 2006 to 2010, the U.S. Census found that approximately 17.2% of Dover's population lived below the poverty level based on 2010 Census data. This percentage was somewhat higher than surrounding areas in Kent County (which had12.5% of the population below poverty level) and higher than the average for the State of Delaware (11%). Clearly, there is a concentration of persons living below the poverty level in Dover. To address poverty within the City of Dover, a multi-faceted anti-poverty strategy will be described below. This strategy stresses partnership with and the support of other agencies and organizations. Within the City of Dover there are two full service housing authorities, and various social service agencies which need and deserve the city's support. In addition to these service providers, the City of Dover will direct revitalization economic development, and code enforcement efforts at low to moderate income neighborhoods. This will provide quality places for people in these neighborhoods to live and work, and provide them with new and better opportunities to earn a living. The following are the three main elements of the City of Dover's Anti-Poverty Strategy: Highest Priority Given to Funding Proposals which Address or Fight Poverty: The City of Dover Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee will give the highest priority in the Five Year Plan to proposals which are targeted towards those living in poverty. These proposals must be consistent with one or more of the following Priorities identified in this plan: -Economic Development -Improve Quality of Housing Stock and Infrastructure -Aid to Special Needs Persons Support Family Self-Sufficiency Programs and other Resident Initiatives/Counseling Programs at Dover's Housing Authorities: Both the Delaware State Housing Authority and the Dover Housing Authority provide their residents with support and assistance in job training, parenting, counseling, financial management, and other skills. These programs are integrated in the housing programs through the Family Self-Sufficiency Program and/or other Resident Initiatives. It is the position of the City of Dover that these programs provide excellent opportunities for those in public housing to become economically and socially self-sufficient. The City of Dover will provide assistance and support as requested to encourage the continuance of these programs. Economic Development: The only way to solve the problem of poverty is to help families earn more money. To do so, there must be an abundant supply of jobs available to low and moderate income persons. It is the strategy of the City to use multiple approaches to job creation.

II-24 The Dover Downtown Dover Partnership encourages the development and expansion of businesses in the Downtown area. A special focus should be firms which provide jobs for low to moderate-income persons. Job creation in the Downtown area will serve the dual goals of maintaining and enhancing the older buildings in this historic area, and providing employment in close proximity to a low to moderate income neighborhood. The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce encourages the development of new businesses elsewhere in the Dover area. The attraction and retention of new corporations and manufacturing firms to Dover will provide additional jobs for low to moderate-income persons. One opportunity for new business is the Garrison Oak Technology Park. II.4 FAIR HOUSING As a condition to receiving federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, entitlement jurisdictions such as the City of Dover are required to affirmatively further fair housing. As a result, the City collaborated with Delaware State Housing Authority, New Castle County and the City of Wilmington to complete an “Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in Delaware”. Included in the study is a Fair Housing Action Plan for the City of Dover which identifies impediments to fair housing choice and recommended strategies for the City to undertake to affirmatively further fair housing. The following is a summary of the progress that the City has achieved during FY 2011. City of Dover Fair Housing Action Plan Strategies Enforce the City’s Section 3 policy to ensure that employment opportunities generated by HUD assistance are directed towards public housing residents and low to moderate income residents – During the program year, the contractor selected complied with the Section 3 policy requirements by providing employment to low income persons. Strengthen partnerships with local lenders that will offer homebuyer education and other incentives to purchase a home in the City – The City partnered with three new lenders that participated in the City’s Homeownership Assistance Program which provided affordable housing for low to moderate income persons. The City also continues its working relationship with NCALL who continues to provide housing counseling to first time homebuyers who receive settlement assistance through the City’s Homeownership Assistance Program. Increase homeownership among minorities and low to moderate income persons The City has partnered with Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity as an NSP partner who recently purchased a foreclosed property and will renovate it to provide affordable housing to a family that is 50% below the area median income.

II-25 During the program year, through the Homeownership Assistance Program, seven low to moderate incomes families have purchase affordable housing, where six applicants were minorities. Members of protected classes could be more fully represented on City boards and commissions dealing with housing issues – The Planning Office met with the Mayor to discuss the appointment of members of protected classes to boards and commissions related to housing. For future appointments, the Mayor was in agreement. A survey form has also been developed for appointed board and commission members that identify members of protected classes that will reflect the City’s diversity. Encourage landlords that are registered through the City’s Rental Dwelling Housing Inspections Program to attend fair housing training – The City collaborated with the other jurisdictions involved with the development of the Analysis of Impediments to facilitate fair housing training statewide at no cost through the Division of Human Relations. The Division of Human Relations has developed a schedule of trainings that will be offered throughout the year statewide for fair housing that will also be available for elected officials and elected boards and commissions. The planning office is presently working on facilitating a scheduled time for registered landlords to attend training. In April of 2011, the City’s planning staff attended the Fair Housing Annual Meeting sponsored by the State of Delaware Division of Human Relations Commission which offered several informative workshops relating to fair housing issues. Map the location (Impacted Areas vs. Non Impacted Areas) of all new CDBG and NSP assisted housing projects - Map II-4 provides an overview of the City’s CDBG and NSP affordable housing properties and investments during program year 2011. The housing provisions through the Homeownership Assistance Program and the acquisition and resale of the NSP properties are not primarily located in impacted areas but located throughout the City. The homeowner repair projects completed in 2011 are primarily located in impacted areas and areas of high minority concentration due to order of applicants on the waiting list being served. Connections Community Support Program purchased a group home with NSP funds that services persons with disabilities located in a non-impacted area.
