THIS AGENDA IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OR THE DELETION OF ITEMS, INCLUDING EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on March 12, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy were 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 absent. 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. Mr. Charles Moore, 405 Division Street, yielded his time to Pastor Gregory Gordon. Pastor Gregory Gordon, 54 S. New Street, addressed members regarding an issue involving Mr. Charles Moore. He noted that the residence of Mr. Moore at 405 Division Street is owned by Mr. Joe Burden. In an attempt to have the electric service for his residence put into his name, Mr. Moore overheard City employees confirming that no action was to take place for properties owned by Mr. Joe Burden. Pastor Gordon stated that he understood that Mr. Burden had outstanding debts owed to the City; however, he noted that Mr. Burden had paid more than $25,000 in property taxes, a substantial amount toward his rental fees, etc. Although he understood the City’s position regarding delinquent landlords, he noted that this type of action also penalizes the tenant. He stated that without tenants, Mr. Burden would not have the income to pay the fees owed to the City. Pastor Gordon advised members that one of Mr. Burden’s tenants has an outstanding electric bill in the amount of $1,200. Since the electric service was in Mr. Burden’s name, Mr. Burden requested that the City disconnect electric service to the property; however, he was advised that he did not have the authority to disconnect the electric service at the property. In addition, he noted that the City would not permit tenants to transfer electric service into their own names, resulting in a “Catch 22.” Pastor Gordon stated that Mr. Moore is required to wear a monitoring machine and has not been able to do so for two (2) weeks, and although he has paid his rent, his security deposit, and is ready to pay for electric service, the City refused to turn on the electric service to his residence and he requested City Council’s assistance with this matter. Ms. Lori Alberts, 444 North School Lane, Smyrna, stated that she had several questions and concerns regarding Proposed Ordinance 2012-08, which would prohibit registered Tier II and Tier III sex offenders from living or working within 500 feet of a daycare center and from participating in certain events involving children. Although she supported efforts to protect the safety of children, she felt that the proposed ordinance would not accomplish anything but placing a burden on individuals who have already paid their debt to society and would also impair their ability to be a part of society. Ms. Alberts stated that the ordinance would not prohibit a registered sex offender who lives 501 feet away from a daycare center from walking or driving by it, or parking across the street from a daycare. She stated that the ordinance addresses all Tier II and Tier III sex offenders rather than specifying

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 2 “child predators.” It was her feeling that this would violate the civil rights of some sex offenders by creating prejudice against a certain group of citizens and forcing them to move. Ms. Alberts questioned if the ordinance addresses all licensed daycare facilities including those in private residences. Referring to children who are in facilities that are not licensed, she asked how the City intended to provide them protection. She questioned if the City would be zoning daycares between schools and parks to prevent sex offenders from living in particular neighborhoods and if the area the City would be zoning for sex offenders (a “concentration camp”) would include enough affordable housing and jobs. Ms. Alberts also questioned if it is a good idea to have a group of sex offenders residing together in a concentrated area and if there would be children in the area. She asked if daycare facilities would be prevented from opening within 500 feet of registered sex offenders. Mrs. Lynne Sadusky, 137 Brandywine Drive, relayed her concerns regarding Proposed Ordinance #2012-08, which would prohibit registered Tier II and Tier III sex offenders from living or working within 500 feet of a daycare center and from participating in certain events involving children. Having seven (7) children herself, she assured members of her support for protecting children; however, she did not feel that the proposed ordinance takes into account the reality of the situation. Mrs. Sadusky explained that although not all registered sex offenders have committed crimes against children, the ordinance would “lump” all sex offenders into the same group, which she felt was unfair, even for those who may have committed a serious crime against an adult. She questioned the logic of preventing such sex offenders from living in locations that are close to daycare centers if their crimes were committed against adults and they obviously have no interest in children. It was her feeling that a reasonable ordinance should address pedophiles specifically and not all sex offenders. Mrs. Sadusky advised members that she volunteers at the Smyrna Prison and that registered sex offenders have often served time and are doing their best to reform when released. She explained that these men have very little support once released and have difficulty obtaining employment and a place to live. Mrs. Sadusky did not feel that registered sex offenders who have established themselves should be required to move due to close proximity to a daycare facility. She relayed her understanding for the need for such an ordinance involving pedophiles; however, she did not feel that it was just to penalize all registered Tier II and III sex offenders. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson requested that Item #10-A, Monthly Budget Report, be removed from the consent agenda. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the consent agenda as amended, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 3 ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of February 27, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2012 The Minutes of the Special Council Meeting of February 27, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey. PRESENTATION - FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT Fire Chief Jack Fortney reviewed a Presentation of the Dover Fire Department Annual Report. In response to Mr. Bonar, Chief Fortney indicated that he would provide members with the costs for responding to false alarms and assured members that the Fire Marshal’s Office issues fines for false alarms. (Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, the Fire Department provided an estimate indicating that approximately $51,048.90 of City funds were spent responding to false alarm calls during the previous fiscal year, based on 365 false alarms at a cost of $139.86 per incident.) Mr. Bonar explained that the Dover Fire Department is a volunteer fire organization but if it were a paid fire department, it would require $14M in additional tax revenue. As a result, he felt that the City and its residents owe a great deal of gratitude to the Dover Fire Department and its volunteers. He noted that recruitment and retention are some of the biggest challenges for the Fire Department, which welcomes prospective new members if they meet the required qualifications and complete a background investigation. Mr. Hutchison relayed appreciation to the volunteers of the Dover Fire Department and commended the membership for an outstanding safety record. Mr. Hare noted that the Dover Fire Department has had a faster response time than paid fire departments in the State. Noting that he had been hospitalized during a recent hurricane, he relayed appreciation to the Fire Department for ensuring that the hospital retained power during the emergency. Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Fire Department Annual Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried. PROCLAMATION - EARTH HOUR (SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2012 AT 8:30 P.M.) The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, our nation's use of energy continues to increase, resulting in damaging effects on the world's climate; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 4 WHEREAS, Earth Hour encourages individuals, businesses, and governments to show leadership on environmental solutions through their actions and to use Earth Hour as a platform to showcase to the world what measures they are taking to reduce their environmental impact; and WHEREAS, it has been estimated that turning non-essential lights out in America for one hour could save as much as 15% of the energy consumed on an average Saturday night; and WHEREAS, the energy savings will reduce carbon emissions into our air, preserve the natural resources used to produce this energy, set a positive precedent for the rest of our nation, and result in ongoing reduced costs for the taxpayers and businesses of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, residents’ participation in Earth Hour shows a commitment to protect the one thing that unites us all – the planet. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby support the observation of Earth Hour in the City of Dover, Delaware, on March 31, 2012, and recommend residents and businesses participate by turning out non-essential lights from 8:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. PROCLAMATION - IRISH-AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, Americans of Irish heritage have lived in the United States since the 17th century, and since the earliest days of our Republic, the faith, values and hard work of Irish-Americans have played an integral part in helping shape our nation and communities; and WHEREAS, many people of Irish heritage came to America and the State of Delaware fleeing famine and poverty. They came with dreams of opportunity and they helped to build our democracy and advance the cause of liberty; and WHEREAS, Irish-Americans have made everlasting contributions to our nation, and we honor their service. Throughout our history, Irish-Americans have helped shape this nation by participating in the signing of the Declaration of Independence and serving as Presidents of the United States; and WHEREAS, during this month of March it is fitting to pay tribute to the contributions made by the Irish and to celebrate their history, heritage and culture, as we reflect upon the legacy bestowed by St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland; and WHEREAS, we recognize that we are fortunate to have a thriving population of Irish-Americans, who strengthen our communities, and fellow citizens of Irish ancestry with their many achievements, which have earned them admiration and respect from people worldwide. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of March 2012 as Irish-American Heritage Month in the City of Dover and encourage all citizens to celebrate the culture and traditions of Ireland.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 5 Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Ms. Sandra Kinkus, President of the Irish Society. Mrs. Kinkus relayed appreciation for the recognition. APPEAL OF DENIAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING PERMIT - 149 SOUTH GOVERNORS AVENUE (D&S INVESTMENT COMPANY) 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 #12-229 related to 149 South Governors Avenue. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that her department received a building permit application for property located at 149 South Governors Avenue, owned by D&S Investments, for a change in occupancy classification in order for the tenant to open a salon at this location. In accordance with Section 1-13 of the Dover Code, staff denied the building permit due to tax delinquencies for 2010 and 2011 for several properties owned by D&S Investments. In addition, at that time, the property owner had delinquent fines and had not renewed rental permits. Mrs. Townshend noted that staff had provided updated information regarding these delinquencies. She indicated that on Friday, March 10, 2012, the owner paid the rental permit renewals and the delinquent code enforcement fines and, based on information from the City’s Customer Service Supervisor, the owner was now current on 2011 taxes. She noted that the appeal was filed prior to the owner making these payments. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that as of the current date, D&S Investments had no outstanding payments due to the City and that staff could issue the building permit if it was in compliance with the application requirements. Members were provided a spreadsheet of the D&S Investment Company, LLP, Schedule of Real Estate Taxes Due as of March 12, 2012 (Exhibit #1). Mrs. Townshend stated her understanding that payments were made as recently as earlier in the day and noted that the property owners were present. At the request of Council President Leary, Mrs. Townshend clarified that, although additional payments had been made, there were still outstanding monies due to the City. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the 2010 taxes have been satisfied. Responding to Mr. Lynn, City Solicitor Rodriguez explained that, in accordance with the Dover Code, all violations must be made current and staff was directed not to issue permits if there are any delinquencies whatsoever. He noted that this policy applied not only to the particular property but to any real estate owned by the applicant in the City of Dover. He confirmed that the rule of law is that if there are any funds owed, the City cannot grant a permit. City Solicitor Rodriguez explained that although City Council could discuss the appeal, Council was bound by the ordinance and there could be no exception. Mr. Lynn felt that the property owners have shown good faith in making their debts with the City current and questioned the ramifications if Council granted the appeal and violated the ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 6 Responding, City Solicitor Rodriguez stated that although Council would have the right to grant the appeal it would be in opposition to the enforcement of the ordinance and would create an exception. He confirmed that this would create a dangerous precedent. Concurring with Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Lynn suggested that since the property owners have shown a good faith effort, members of Council could table the matter for 30 days to provide the property owners time to address the outstanding tax bill. Mr. Hare felt that there would be no need to table the matter, explaining that if the property owners pay their outstanding debts, staff could issue the building permit. Mr. Doug Doyle, 16 Tam O’Shanter Court, and Mr. Scott Slacum, 349 North Bradford Street, introduced themselves as representatives of D&S Investment Company. Mr. Doyle advised members that in addition to businesses, D&S Investment Company owns 16 properties in Dover. The real estate investment company began 16 years ago and has paid taxes every year and other fees until recent difficult economic times caused outstanding debts. With regard to concerns about setting a precedent, he advised members that a precedent was set in October 2011when the City required them to have an agreement to pay their outstanding taxes in order for a new tenant to move into a commercial space, which was accomplished. Mr. Doyle requested that they be provided an opportunity to set up a payment plan for their outstanding 2011 taxes, with the understanding that a new tenant could open their business at 149 South Governors Avenue. Mr. Anderson moved to deny the appeal of D&S Investment Company, seconded by Mr. Hare. In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that if a property owner has a payment agreement with the City and is current, then a building permit can be granted; however, when this building permit was requested, the owners were not current with their agreement, resulting in a denial of the building permit. She noted that the ordinance does not affect business license renewals. The motion to deny the appeal failed by a roll call vote of four (4) yes, three (3) no (Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, and Mr. Hutchison), and two (2) absent (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy). Council President Leary explained that in accordance with Section 10 of the City Charter, an affirmative vote of a majority of the members elected to Council (five (5) members) was required for approval. Mr. Anderson moved to table the matter, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 26 NORTH KIRKWOOD STREET, OWNED BY JOE BURDEN A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 26 North Kirkwood Street, owned by Mr. Joe Burden. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the property consists of a two (2) story, wood-framed dwelling. The dwelling was condemned as unfit for human habitation on November 18, 2010 due to the degree of damage to the structure from a fire that occurred on the night of November 17, 2010. On May 20, 2011, City staff registered the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 7 structure as a vacant building; however, no fees have been paid. Mr. Burden attempted to obtain a renovation permit on December 9, 2011 but was denied by the City due to unpaid taxes, fees, citations, and other outstanding charges due to the City of Dover. Currently, the structure is still vacant, with no utilities and in a serious state of disrepair. Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the structure (Exhibit #2). With regard to the outstanding charges owed to the City, Mrs. Townshend advised members that although there are still outstanding fees, when the renovation permit was denied, it was denied based on a larger delinquency. Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare this building on this property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by April 12, 2012 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; 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 building exists 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. Mr. Anderson noted that the owner had paid the taxes due and that the City has limited funds remaining in the budget for demolitions and questioned why the City should pursue demolition when the property owner was willing to make the necessary repairs. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that when the renovation permit was submitted and the outstanding fees brought to the owner’s attention, staff was advised that there was no money to satisfy the debts. She reminded members that the issuance of a building permit does not indicate that the necessary repairs will be made. She indicated her uncertainty and felt that the issuance of a building permit would only delay the issue. She stated that her concerns were due to the large delinquency that the City has continuously had (and continues to have) with this property owner. Mr. Anderson noted that the current delinquencies were due to code enforcement issues and that all property taxes have been paid. He questioned why staff would not issue the necessary permits to the property owner in order for him to complete the work required by the City if property owners are given a certain number of days to make repairs. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained that the “clean hands” ordinance does not provide staff the flexibility to issue permits. Mr. Anderson felt that the demolition ordinance specifically indicates that the City can grant the opportunity to repair a property that is dangerous and, since this would be a public health issue, it would outweigh the “clean hands” ordinance, particularly since the property owner had paid all property taxes. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the “clean hands” ordinance applies to all outstanding fees, not just property taxes, and noted that one of the charges due to the City was out of pocket expenses in the amount of $5,800 to remediate a property. At the request of Mrs. Townshend, City Solicitor Rodriguez explained that the “clean hands” ordinance must be applied to all permits. Responding, Mr. Anderson did not feel that it was the intent of the “clean hands” ordinance to refrain from taking safety issues into consideration and explained his desire to submit an amendment to address this issue.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 8 In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that since the property owner had paid some of the fees owed earlier in the day, the estimated remaining balance owed to the City was $17,000-$18,000. Of this amount, the bulk trash fee had been due since April 2011 and some of the Code Enforcement fines had been due since 2009. She noted that this property owner had not paid any of the vacant building registration fees since the inception of the vacant building program. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend indicated that notices of outstanding fees and fines are always sent to property owners by certified mail and that the mailing receipts are maintained in the office files. Mr. Lynn noted that the City has no discretion to issue a building permit, so the choice for the City was regarding the demolition of the building, and he questioned if the building posed an immediate public safety risk. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that there have been quite a few vacant buildings in the area that have burned due to arson and three (3) properties across the street were constantly being entered by vagrants and were demolished. She advised members that although vagrants have not been an issue with the property located at 26 North Kirkwood Street, vacant buildings in this area that are not being repaired and are in a state of deterioration tend to attract vagrancy and concerns associated with vagrancy, such as arson. The nearest structure is located approximately 20 feet from the property; therefore, if the property were to catch fire, it would pose a danger to surrounding structures. She stated that the building has been vacant since the 2010 fire and that there have been no subsequent fires or vagrants. She assured members that the property had been secured (boarded). Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. Mr. Joe Burden, owner of the property located at 26 North Kirkwood Street, read the following letter into the record: “To Whom it May Concern: This letter is to appeal the decline of two (2) building permits for fire damage at 726 Slaughter Street and 26 N. Kirkwood Street because my taxes are not up to date for 2011. These two (2) houses were set on fire and the tenants had rental insurance. If you check the record, you will see that I paid $16,000 toward my taxes in January. I am trying hard to pay the taxes but my tenants are not paying their rent. That is why I am behind in my taxes. I received a letter from the inspector’s office stating that I need the permits by February 27th or they will take action to demolish my houses. Most of my tenants are unemployed. That is the reason I have been trying to work with them - so that they will not be homeless. I am also appealing a fine of $100 I received from inspector Ed Graves for 28 N. Kirkwood Street because he could not inspect the unit. I called Mr. Graves two (2) weeks ago and left a message on his phone to set up a time and he never returned my call. I received the fine three (3) days after I had called and scheduled the inspection with the clerk. I think her name is Ms. Loretta.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 9 I am also appealing the $100 fine I received from Ron Coleman for 45 S. Queen Street about a small shed that a person can store something in like a lawn mower. It is not a new shed but I have seen sheds in other areas of the City look worse then that one. They can see all the problems on my properties but they can not see the same things on other properties. I have been documenting these situations for future reference. I realize I do not have the best tenants because I try to help people that need a roof over their head. If I did background and credit checks, about 70% of the people would not be in my houses. Thank you very much for your thought about letting me get permits for my two (2) houses so I can fix them up and let two (2) families move in. The plans for the repairs have been drawn up and submitted to the planning department. Thank you, Joe W. Burden” Mr. Burden advised members that earlier in the day, he paid $9,800 to the City for taxes and $1,344 for rental fees. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Burden indicated his understanding of the need for residents to pay taxes and advised members that he paid $16,000 to the City and $27,000 to Kent County in January. He stated that he was doing the best he could with his income and attempting to assist those who were less fortunate by providing them with a place to live. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Burden stated that he would attempt to pay all fees owed to the City within 30 days; however, he stated his objections to the $5,800 bulk trash fee since the City removed items (appliances such as refrigerators, stove, air conditoning units, etc.) from his property and took them to the dump. He was not allowed to obtain a permit to erect a fence to obscure the view of the items due to outstanding fees owed to the City. Mr. Anderson relayed concerns regarding the inability of tenants to obtain electric service to properties owned by Mr. Burden due to outstanding debts owed to the City. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that by the time that violations are presented to City Council, staff has exhausted most avenues for obtaining payment of outstanding debts. He noted that the cases brought before City Council at this time involve chronic issues related to the property owner and their non-payment of outstanding debts. He explained that these types of properties are increasing the cost of government due to property maintenance issues, etc. Staff submitted this matter to Council as a last resort and is required to honor the ordinances adopted by City Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 10 In response to previous comments of Mr. Anderson regarding electric service, Mrs. Townshend explained that in order for service to be put in a tenant’s name, there must be an active, valid rental permit. If the permit was suspended due to code violations, utilities cannot be put into a tenant’s name. She advised members that there are several reasons (in addition to delinquent taxes) why tenants would be denied electric service. Mr. Burden reiterated his attempts to assist those who are less fortunate, particularly during the current economic times and stated that several of his tenants would otherwise be homeless. It was his belief that if such individuals were not provided shelter, there would be more crime in the City. Pastor Gordon, 54 S. New Street, stated that Mr. Burden was trying to help those who are helpless and noted that he had made attempts to pay the City for his outstanding debts. He suggested that members of Council allow Mr. Burden to continue to rent some of his properties to assist him in making required payments to the City. Dr. Joe Burden Jr., 2914 Hamilton Avenue, Orlando, Florida, stated that his attendance was in support of his father. He relayed concern with the racial tone in the City and advised members of some of the comments made by City inspectors in this regard. He assured members that he and his father are cognizant of the fact that the City needs tax revenues in order to pay their bills. Due to the racial episodes, he questioned if this is an issue of deteriorated properties or racism and social injustice. He requested that members be aware of the racial overtones and dialogue that are occurring in the City. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Dr. Burden indicated that he and his father were willing to agree to a payment plan with the City. Mr. Charles Moore, 405 Division Street, stated that although Mr. Burden may not have the best rental properties, there are worse properties throughout the City. As a tenant, he explained his inability to acquire electric service and suggested that if the City allows Mr. Burden time, he would be able to satisfy his debts. Mr. Bobby Wilson, 1561 Nathaniel Mitchell Road, requested that members authorize a payment plan for Mr. Burden, explaining that Mr. Burden provides a lot of housing for the less fortunate and that if he was unable to do so, there would be an increase in crime throughout the City. There being no one else present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Anderson moved to table the matter. The motion failed due to the lack of a second. Mr. Bonar moved to table the matter for a period of 60 days, at the end of which time, if the fees and fines or other monies owed to the City are not paid, that staff be authorized to move forward with demolition based on the findings and the facts that there is a history of code violations dating back to 2000; there are interior and exterior violations, tall grass and weeds, trash violations and debris; the dwelling was subject to a fire on November 17, 2010, was condemned as unfit for human

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 11 habitation on November 18, 2010, was registered as vacant by staff on May 20, 2011; the owner applied for a renovation permit on December 9, 2011 which was denied due to outstanding fees, fines, and taxes, which, in part, have now been satisfied; there are outstanding payments due on the subject property for water charges and a vacant building registration fee; and there are outstanding payments on other properties owned by the same owner, including code enforcement fines and fees, bulk trash fees, water, and penalties. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare. Responding to Mr. Lynn’s concerns, Fire Chief Fortney stated that there are many properties in the City which are in similar condition to the subject property. The motion to table the matter for 60 days and to authorize staff to move forward with demolition if the fees and fines and other monies owed to the City are not paid at that time was carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 14 SOUTH QUEEN STREET, OWNED BY CHARLES E. MARSHALL A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 14 South Queen Street, owned by Charles E. Marshall. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the property consists of a two (2) story, wood frame dwelling. On September 12, 2008, the property was posted for not having any electrical service and then condemned as unfit for habitation on September 15, 2008 due to having no utilities and the degree to which the property was in disrepair. She noted that there were numerous broken windows, missing siding, missing gutters, an unsecurable rear door, and a collapsed rear roof. She advised members that the building was registered by staff as a vacant building on February 12, 2009, and that the owner was ordered to secure the building. No vacant building fees have been paid. Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the structure (Exhibit #3). Mrs. Townshend advised members that staff was preparing to present this building to Council as a dangerous building on November 22, 2010, when the owner requested additional time to make repairs to the structure. The owner obtained the necessary permit on December 1, 2010, but after six (6) months, the permit expired with little work done to the home. The work that was done was not completed to Code specifications. The home is currently still vacant, with no utilities, in a serious state of disrepair, and the rear utility room and part of the rear second story wall are still open to the elements. Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare this building on this property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by April 12, 2012 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; 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 building exists 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 MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 12 Responding to Council President Leary regarding the work that was done when the owner obtained a permit in December 2010, Mrs. Townshend stated that almost none of the work was completed. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend indicated that although the previous notices in 2010 were signed for and picked up, all of the notices recently sent to the property owner were returned to the City by the Post Office as “unclaimed.” Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. Mr. Charles Marshall, 14 South Queen Street, indicated that he has been unable to bring the property up to Code due to illness and requested that members provide three (3) months to complete the necessary repairs. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that Mr. Marshall could obtain an extension for the building permit that was issued and assured members that it has always been staff’s intention that demolition be used as a last resort. She explained that if staff observes continuous progress being made toward restoring the property, no further action would be taken to demolish the property. Mr. Hare suggested that Mr. Marshall obtain the necessary permit to begin restoration of the property and that a minimum of one-third of the work be required to be completed by April 12th, considering that the property owner requested three (3) months to complete the repairs. There being no one else present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Hare moved that, if a valid permit is obtained, the property owner be provided 30 days prior to inspection by City staff to determine if one-third of the work has been completed and if so, that the permit be extended and the property be inspected every 30 days until the end of the 90 days requested; however, if one-third of the required work has not been accomplished at the end of each 30-day period, that the structure located at 14 South Queen Street be declared a dangerous building and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). By unanimous consent, Council President Leary declared a five (5) minute recess. Meeting recessed at 9:17 p.m. and reconvened at 9:23 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2012-02 AMENDING THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY REPLACING TABLE 12-1: LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN, MAP 13-1: ANNEXATION AREAS, AND MAP 13-2: POTENTIAL LAND USE FOR ANNEXATION AREAS A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of Ordinance #2012-02 amending the 2008 Comprehensive Plan by replacing Table 12-1: Land Development Plan, Map 13-1: Annexation Areas, and Map 13-2: Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 13 Mrs. Williams moved that the final reading of the proposed zoning text amendment be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2012-02 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of January 23, 2012.) Planner's Review Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the Land Development Plan Map of the Comprehensive Plan and the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission. She advised members that the proposed ordinance consists of two (2) amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, as follows: 1) Land Development Plan Amendment – Change of land use classification for three (3) parcels located at the southwest corner of Forrest Avenue (Route 8) and Mifflin Road from Residential Low Density to Commercial. This amendment has been requested by the affected property owners, in conjunction with a rezoning request, as specified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan; and 2) Annexation Plan Amendment – Addition of property south of South Little Creek Road and east of Horsepond Road as “Category 2 Annexation Area” with a land use classification of Agriculture. This amendment has been requested by the affected property owner in anticipation of developing the property as a solar power generation facility. Referring to the Land Development Plan Amendment, Mrs. Townshend noted that in January and February of 2009, several residents of Mifflin Road had objected to the area being classified as commercial and that City Council voted to keep the area residential. She advised members that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) submitted comments recommending that if the area were to be commercial, a lower intensity commercial use be considered that would have less traffic generation than the zoning classification. At this point, she advised members that the rezoning is on a separate track since the public notice requirements were not completed. The rezoning associated with the Land Development Plant Amendment is scheduled to go before the Planning Commission on March 19, 2012 and the applicant has agreed to request a lesser zoning, CP-O, which would permit offices, banks, insurance agencies, etc., rather than retail uses that tend to be high traffic generators and less consistent with residential areas. Mrs. Townshend explained that a separate public hearing would be held for the rezoning request; however, if the Comprehensive Plan were not amended, the zoning could not change. In response to Mrs. Williams’ concerns regarding owners of Brandywine Condominiums, Mrs. Townshend explained that any owner of a condominium unit within 200 feet, as well as the Condominium Association, would have received notice of the rezoning hearing. In regard to traffic concerns, she stated that if the intersection were to develop into a commercial zoning, DelDOT would control the access. It was her feeling that DelDOT would not permit full access (left and right turns) that close to the Mifflin Road intersection. Mrs. Townshend advised members that following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on February 21, 2012, where two (2) members of the public spoke in opposition to the Land Development Plan Amendment, the Planning Commission recommended that City Council deny the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment. She stated that no members of the public spoke in regard to the Annexation Plan Amendment and the Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 14 Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Townshend stated that residences in the area have deteriorated and that the property at 1510 Forrest Avenue is on a septic system which is failing. Since there is no frontage on Mifflin Road, access to the sewer would require boring under Route 8, which she felt was not realistic or feasible; therefore, if the property remains residential, another septic system would be required. From a utility standpoint, that would not be the City’s desire. She stated that if the area were to develop commercially, the utility issues would be less complicated and traffic issues would need to be addressed. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the Land Development Plan Amendment primarily due to concerns of the impact on the residential character of the area. She explained that from staff’s analysis, the character of the Route 8 corridor in the City of Dover is not residential; therefore, it is a unique area in the City and finding a compatible land use is a challenge, which led to staff’s recommendation for a lower-density commercial rather than a retail classification. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that if Council chose not to vote in favor of the Planning Commission’s recommendations, dissenting members would be required to state their reasons. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. There being no one wishing to speak, Council President Leary declared the hearing closed. Mr. Hare moved for approval of staff’s recommendations due to the fact that the character of Route 8 is changing, seconded by Mr. Bonar, and by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (for the reason stated in the motion), two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Williams due to concerns of congestion), and two (2) absent (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy), Council adopted Ordinance #2012-02, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY REPLACING MAP 12-1: LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN, MAP 13-1: ANNEXATION AREAS, AND MAP 13-2 POTENTIAL LAND USE FOR ANNEXATION AREAS. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dover, on February 9, 2009, adopted the 2008 Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Title 22, Section 702 of the Delaware Code; and WHEREAS, the Honorable Jack Markell, Governor of the State of Delaware, certified the 2008 Comprehensive Plan on April 24, 2009; and WHEREAS, the 2008 Comprehensive Plan allows for an annual amendment process; and WHEREAS, four property owners have requested amendments to the Land Development Plan Map (Map 12-1) and Annexation Plan (Maps 13-1 and 13-2), in accordance with the process set forth in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 21, 2012, after which the Commission made a recommendation in regards to the proposed amendments to the Land Development Plan and Annexation Plan related to the above request.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 15 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED THAT the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover hereby amend Map 12-1: Land Development Plan, Map 13-1: Annexation Areas, and Map 13-2 Potential Land Use for Annexation Areas of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, as amended on November 23, 2009; March 14, 2011; and April 11, 2011, by replacing the referenced maps with the Amended Map 12-1, 13-1 and 13-2, presented to City Council on March 12, 2012. ADOPTED: MARCH 12, 2012 UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 The Utility Committee met on February 27, 2012 with Chairman Bonar presiding. Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Lexington Glen - Phase I Members were advised that Ashburn Homes, Inc., the party responsible for completing the public infrastructure within Phase 1 of the Lexington Glen Subdivision, has requested that all public infrastructure improvements related to this phase be dedicated to the City of Dover for permanent ownership and maintenance. Members reviewed an outline of all public improvements associated with Phase 1 and a map showing the general location and configuration of the subject rights-of-way. The total construction value of the public improvements is $1,184,627. Ashburn Homes, Inc. has completed construction of the improvements within Phase 1 in accordance with City standards and specifications. After construction was completed, City staff inspected the public improvements and developed a list of repairs to be made to meet the City of Dover Standards and Specifications for Public Works Construction. As of this date, all work required by Ms. Sharon Duca, Interim Public Works Director, has been completed. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that a one (1) year Maintenance Agreement, Letter of Credit, and a Release of Liabilities is required to be submitted as part of the dedication process. Although the Letter of Credit had not yet been submitted, he stated that it was anticipated that it would be received prior to consideration of the Committee’s recommendation by City Council. As-built drawings of the infrastructure have been provided to staff. Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure in Phase 1 of the Lexington Glen Subdivision, with the stipulation that the Letter of Credit must be received prior to Council action, with dedication to include all of the referenced public improvements, as follows: Sewer Utility Infrastructure (Construction Value = $234,137 ): 10" SDR-35 PVC Sanitary Sewer Main - 1,865 l.f. 8" SDR-35 PVC Sanitary Sewer Main - 945 l.f. 6" PVC Sanitary Sewer Laterals - 3,430 l.f. (98 laterals) 4' Diameter Sanitary Sewer Manholes - 12 ea. (67.42 v.f.) 8" PVC Sanitary Force Main - 110 l.f.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 16 Water Utility Infrastructure (Construction Value = $207,148 ): 8" Ductile Iron (Class 52 Cement Lined) Water Main - 3,815 l.f. 6" Ductile Iron (Class 52 Cement Lined) Water Main - 160 l.f. 1" Polyethylene Water Service Lines - 3,185 l.f. (98 services) 8" Gate Valve - 13 ea. 6" Hydrant Valve - 7 ea. Fire Hydrants - 7 ea. Storm Water Infrastructure (Construction Value = $335,564): Catch Basins - 45 ea. 4' Diameter Storm Sewer Manholes - 3 ea. Outfall Structure - 1 ea. 15" Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 2,144 l.f. 18" Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 355 l.f. 24" Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 1,536 l.f. 30" Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 1,023 l.f. 36" Type III Reinforced Concrete Pipe - 408 l.f. Flared End Sections (Concrete) - 8 ea. Street Infrastructure (0.5771 miles) (Construction Value = $407,778): Nicholas Drive Station 2+82 to Station 15+55 1,273 l.f. Thornton Street Station 0+00 to Station 10+00 1,000 l.f. Lexington Place Station 11+20 to Station 18+94 774 l.f. The Committee recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure for Lexington Glen - Phase I to include all of the referenced public improvements, as recommended by staff, with the stipulation that the Letter of Credit is received prior to Council action. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig advised members that the City received the Letter of Credit and One-Year Maintenance Agreement, dated March 8, 2012. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation for the acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure for Lexington Glen - Phase I to include all of the referenced public improvements, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. Cash-In-Lieu of Pump Station Upgrades Agreement - Village of Maple Dale Senior Housing Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the Village of Maple Dale Senior Housing Subdivision is currently under construction and that the subdivision is in the sanitary sewer basin that flows to the Retreat Pump Station, which is located on Pine Valley Road. The Retreat Pump Station is in need of upgrades in order to properly handle the proposed sanitary sewer flow from the complete build out of the Village of Maple Dale Senior Housing Subdivision. He stated that, typically, the developer would have to perform the upgrades to the infrastructure prior to building residences. The complete replacement of the Retreat Pump Station is planned to occur in Fiscal Year 2016. As such, staff believes that it is in the best interest of all to perform the overall

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 17 replacement as planned in Fiscal Year 2016 but to utilize a cash-in-lieu of agreement with the developer rather than perform the upgrades now. He assured members that this would ensure that the new components are not removed after only four (4) years of usage. Mr. Koenig explained that, in lieu of the pump station upgrades, staff and Becker Morgan Group, Inc., (consulting engineer) agreed that a specified number of residences (30 townhomes and 18 condominium units) could be built without affecting the performance of the existing pump station. This was determined after a fairly extensive technical review of the pump station’s capacity and performance, as well as projected flows and construction timeframe. The monetary value of the upgrades that would be required for the pump station ($36,570) was established following staff’s review and approval of submitted estimates. Members reviewed a draft agreement in which Maple Dale Country Club, Inc., would pay for the necessary improvements to the pump station. This agreement states that only 30 townhomes and 18 condominium units could be built before the Retreat Pump Station is replaced. Staff recommended execution of the agreement. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig indicated that construction has already begun on four (4) units and the required building permits have been obtained. He assured members that the City would require payment of the cash-in-lieu amount of $36,570 prior to issuing any additional building permits. The Committee recommended execution of a cash-in-lieu agreement with Maple Dale Country Club, Inc., with the stipulation that no additional building permits would be issued without receipt of payment in full in the amount of $36,570. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig stated that Mr. McAllister submitted a letter dated February 29, 2012 concerning the payment schedule. After reviewing the design review, staff recommended that the agreement be amended to replace paragraphs A and B (of Section I) with a provision that would read essentially as follows: A. The payment in the amount of $36,570 must be paid prior to the issuance of the thirty first building permit or July 1, 2014, whichever date comes first. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the cash-in-lieu agreement with Maple Dale Country Club, Inc., as amended (Exhibit #4), seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). North American Energy Services (NAES) Agreement Extension Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that an Operations and Maintenance (O & M) Agreement for the City’s electric generating facilities was entered into with North American Energy Services (NAES) in 2006. The previous City Manager was prepared to extend the agreement as it currently stands through May 31, 2014. Mr. Koenig stated that, given recent discussions regarding electric rates and cost of service, staff believes that the City should renegotiate the terms of the O & M Agreement. Mr. Koenig indicated that, based on the review of Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 18 Utility Attorney, the initial term of the NAES contract was four (4) years, ending in June 2010, and the agreement has an evergreen provision that would permit the City to extend the agreement on an annual basis after the initial term. All the compensation provisions remain except escalation, which is an annual adjustment. The City may terminate the agreement by giving notice at least 18 months before the proposed termination date. This notice may be given at any time. A request may be made at any time to enter into sole source negotiations with NAES to adjust the terms of compensation. Staff recommended that Council authorize the City Manager to: 1) issue a letter advising NAES of the City’s desire to review and renegotiate the terms of the O & M Agreement; and 2) issue a letter to Mr. Kirk Betts, Utility Attorney, to commence the contract negotiations. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig indicated that the concept of issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) was discussed by Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, and Mr. Betts. It was his understanding that once NAES is notified of the City’s desire to renegotiate, they will respond with a very favorable contract price; however, he assured members that if this is not the case, the City could solicit proposals through the market. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City Manager to: 1) issue a letter advising North American Energy Services (NAES) of the City’s desire to review and renegotiate the terms of the Operations and Maintenance (O & M) Agreement; and 2) issue a letter to Mr. Kirk Betts, Utility Attorney, to commence contract negotiations. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). Update - Green Energy Funding and Programming Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that members received an update on Green Energy Funding and Programming and offered to respond to any questions. Update - Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff is working on finalizing the plat for the Garrison Oak Technical Park so that lots can be recorded. It was his understanding that Calpine Corporation has filed an application which is scheduled for consideration by the Planning Commission during their March meeting. He noted that the Calpine project will be constructed on one of the lots created by the subdivision of the Garrison Oak Technical Park. Mr. Koenig advised members that staff has also been working with Becker Morgan Group, the consulting engineer, regarding the construction drawings for the roads and the water and sewer systems associated with the subdivision plan related to the project. He stated that the discussions with Calpine Corporation are separate and on-going. Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 19 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on February 27, 2012 with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Staff Recommendations - Economic Development Office (Tabled by Committee on February 13, 2012) During their meeting of January 9, 2012, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a memorandum outlining a recommendation for restructuring the City’s Economic Development Office (EDO) and the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). Members tabled the matter to allow the DDP Board to submit a response. During their meeting of February 13, 2012, members again reviewed staff’s recommendation for restructuring the City’s EDO and, after much discussion, they tabled the matter to allow staff additional time to work with the DDP on the development of a recommendation. Mr. Koenig stated that, during the deliberations that have taken place over the last two (2) months regarding the recommendation to separate the economic development function of the City from the staffing of the DDP, many details were brought forth, and he felt that the initially proposed concept was lost. In an effort to help move the discussion forward, Mr. Koenig developed a simplified graphic representation of the current EDO/DDP structure and the proposed structure, which would separate the two (2) functions, and he reviewed this concept with members. Mr. Koenig noted that the long-term cost savings that would be produced by staff’s recommendation would apply in two (2) ways: 1) two (2) positions would be cut from the budget and the current employees would be relocated to other departments where vacancies exist; and 2) the City would continue to provide financial support for the DDP; however, there would be no unfunded liability or Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs associated with staff hired by the DDP. He reminded members that these are costs that would escalate over time and would impact the budget on a long-term basis under the current structure. Mr. Koenig reviewed a memorandum that he had prepared to address some of the questions that were posed during the previous Committee meeting regarding this issue. It was noted that one of these questions focused on whether or not the EDO is “profitable.” He reviewed an email dated February 21, 2012, submitted by Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Manager, which supported the profitability of the department. Mr. Koenig stated that some of the information provided in this email was subjective and that the annual budget for this function has averaged approximately $223,000 over the past three (3) fiscal years. Mr. Koenig stated that one of the reasons for staff’s recommendation was to assist with funding the City’s budget during the next fiscal year. He reminded members that the EDO was one of the last “umbrellas” of service added to the City’s portfolio. It was created in 2008 at a time when the economy started to decline, and since that time this decline has continued. Mr. Koenig noted that there was no revenue stream associated with the services provided when the EDO was created. Since funding resources are constrained, Mr. Koenig stated he felt an obligation to discuss with

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 20 members whether the EDO is the most critical service and consideration of: a) the manner in which it is funded; b) how it is operated; or c) the possibility of eliminating it. It was Mr. Hare’s recollection that, in accordance with the City Charter, the Mayor was responsible for the City’s economic development and questioned when the Charter was amended to eliminate this responsibility from the Mayor. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that economic development transferred from the Mayor’s oversight to a separate office in 2008. Mrs. Holly Malone, 115 Shinnecock Road (former member of City Council), stated that the duties of the Mayor are to oversee the Police Department and that the EDO does not fall under the Police Department. Although Mrs. Malone understood that the Mayor promotes economic development, she felt this was not his primary responsibility. She noted that economic development is not currently included in the Mayor’s budget. For clarification, Dr. McGlumphy noted that prior to 2008/2009, economic development was included in the job description and objectives for the Mayor’s Office; however, when new job descriptions were developed at that time, economic development was no longer listed under the Mayor’s responsibilities. He suggested that Mrs. Malone review the minutes of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee of June 8, 2009, and September 14, 2009, and the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee minutes of November 23, 2009. Dr. McGlumphy explained that these minutes clearly delineate the “power struggle” that occurred regarding the placement of the EDO in the organization, as well as difficulties in the development of its objectives and benchmarks. Mrs. Malone suggested that the Mayor and City Council work together to enhance construction and building downtown, which is important for the livelihood of the City of Dover. Noting that there were several concerns regarding staff’s recommendation, Mr. Koenig stated no objection to developing an alternative recommendation and expressed his willingness to take direction from the Committee in this regard. Mr. Lynn reiterated his objections to the EDO being placed under the Planning and Inspections Department, due to potential conflicts of interest. He explained his opinion that it is imperative that the integrity of the Planning Department’s opinions with respect to site plans, subdivisions, conditional use, and rezonings be protected from accusations of bias from the opposing public. He felt that the economic development professional would be involved with cultivating projects that would go before the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and City Council. If the economic development professional were placed under the direction of the Planning Director, in his opinion, the Planning Director’s independence in these matters would be compromised. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that there are numerous models throughout the country that endorse having an economic development professional in the planning area. Although he understood the concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest, he explained that the City’s economic development professional does not have independent authority to “make deals” or to offer incentives by his own actions. Any type of proposal for tax abatement or other incentives, over and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 21 above what is prescribed in other plans, would require consideration by Council or another Board for a recommendation and approval. Mr. Koenig stated his belief that the economic development professional for the City would have a relatively small range of items to negotiate within the structure of the City’s government. He also felt that no matter where the economic development professional is located, that individual would have to work with the Planning Office in a very integrated fashion, since any proposal presented for economic development would first have the challenge of assuring that it meets land use specifications. Mr. Koenig reminded members that within the City’s structure, there are prescribed sets of rules, explaining that the zoning ordinance indicates what can and what cannot be done with a piece of property. The Board of Adjustment is required to be very prescriptive in what is authorized and must provide specific reasons for allowing variances. He assured members that the City of Dover’s government is set up in such a sophisticated manner that the City could overcome any related challenges. Mr. Lynn noted that the definition of recklessness is “the conscious knowledge of risk and a conscious decision to disregard that risk.” He felt that staff has stated that there is a potential risk and questioned whether the benefit of placing the economic development professional under the Planning Office would outweigh the risk. He suggested that the economic professional either remain under the City Manager’s Office or be moved to the Mayor’s Office. Responding, Mr. Koenig felt that there would be risk regardless of where this individual is placed, explaining that challenges would occur under any circumstances when there is opposition to a proposed project. He reiterated his opinion that there would be no more risk for the City if the economic development professional were placed under the Planning Office than any other office, since the City makes professional decisions based on the Dover Code and the best interests of the City. Mr. Lynn also relayed concern that placing the economic development professional under the Planning Office would diminish the position and give the appearance that they are “less important.” Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that prior to the City establishing a dedicated economic development position, economic development for the City was handled through “a committee approach.” He explained that parties who were interested in development projects in the City would contact either the Mayor or City Manager and staff would develop an application for the Kent Economic Development Partnership or the Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO). Several department heads would then fill in their components of the proposal for submission. Mr. Koenig felt that, regardless of whether the economic development position serves as a coordinator or a manager, perceptions of the position would be based on the performance of the individual, in terms of how articulate and engaging they are. He felt that this would determine the amount of respect they are afforded by others in the economic development community. Although he understood that being a department head could add stature to the position, Mr. Koenig reminded members that the City has constrained resources, which was the rationale for staff’s recommendation. He explained that placing the position in the City Manager’s Office was not considered because Council had previously relayed concerns regarding the number of employees in the City Manager’s Office. Mr. Lynn reminded members that it was previously mentioned that the recommendation was submitted by staff solely for budgetary reasons. He noted that Mr. Neaton testified that the City’s EDO has “paid for itself” and referred to the memo provided by Mr. Neaton, dated February 21, 2012, indicating that if the Calpine project (which Mr. Neaton is currently working on) comes to fruition, it would generate $2.3M for the City, which would cover the EDO budget for

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 22 10 years. He reiterated his opinion that the City’s EDO does “pay for itself” and questioned why there would be any change whatsoever. Mr. Lynn urged members to reject staff’s recommendation in its entirety. Mrs. Williams recalled a previous development project that was handled by the City as a “committee of staff,” as previously described by Mr. Koenig, which was a team effort that provided the developer the same message from all facets of the City. She questioned why certain members of Council were attempting to micro-manage staff, explaining that Mr. Koenig was hired as the City Manager and that personnel is not the purview of Council. She suggested that members accept staff’s recommendation. Mr. Hare indicated his concurrence with the concerns of Mr. Lynn regarding the position being placed under the Planning Office. He explained his perspective that the economic development professional seeks businesses to come to the City and that it is not their responsibility to obtain the necessary permits, etc. He suggested that the individual should work with the Mayor and DEDO and should not be a part of the Planning Office. Mr. Anderson reminded members that in September 2011, he suggested that the EDO be relocated to the Mayor’s Office. At that time, it was decided that members should concentrate on the hiring of a City Manager. He suggested that his recommendation be reconsidered, noting that the Mayor’s Office is where the businesses are focused, and he stated the need for someone to advocate independently from other City departments. Mr. Anderson stated that technically, in accordance with the City Charter, if the economic development professional is under the City Manager’s charge, Council’s ability to interact with the professional could be restricted by the City Manager. He noted that if the position were under the charge of the Planning Office, this restriction would not exist. However, if the position were under the charge of the Mayor’s Office, he felt it would provide a unified voice for economic development. Mr. Anderson felt that there are sections of staff’s recommendation that have merit and suggested that staff reconsider the recommendation for consideration prior to the new budget year. He also relayed concern that staff’s recommendation in its current form could risk millions of dollars in State monies by making changes at this time. Mr. Bob Aellis, 29 Dornoch Way, Townshend, stated that, as a small business owner of Veterans Lighting and Firesigns 1075, approximately two (2) years ago, representatives from his company began working with Mr. Neaton and Mayor Carey to bring a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) manufacturing company from Canada to Dover. He advised members that meetings were held with several representatives of New Castle County, Sussex County, DEDO, Senators Coons and Carper, and several other business persons and entities in an attempt to make the manufacturing facility come to fruition. It was Mr. Aeillis’ opinion that these meetings would not have been possible without the assistance of Mr. Neaton and the City’s EDO and that Mr. Neaton served as one of the best facilitators he has worked with. He noted that he has since worked with Mr. Neaton in attempts to bring other manufacturing facilities to the City of Dover to produce jobs. Mr. Aellis stated his feeling that the City’s EDO is “more than just dollars and cents and balance sheets.” He indicated that he is a member of the Delaware Economic Environmental Development (DEED) Committee, which has referred to the City’s EDO on numerous occasions and is currently in the process of requesting that Mr. Neaton speak with the DEED Committee. Mr. Aeillis urged members to maintain the City’s EDO as it currently is today.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 23 Mrs. Malone clarified her understanding that economic development is a part of the Mayor’s responsibility; however, she felt that Council should work with and assist the Mayor to promote economic development in the downtown area, as well as the entire City. Based on members’ comments during the past several meetings, Mr. Bonar suggested that staff go back to the “drawing board” regarding this issue. Referring to Mrs. Williams’ comments regarding micro-managing, Mr. Lynn stated that economic development is critically important to the City; therefore, he was not willing to abdicate his thoughts and have “blind faith” in the City Manager and provide him “carte blanche.” He explained that economic development promotes fiscal stability; its business activities create revenues that fund local services, and the cost and quality of life of every household in the City are directly dependent on the City’s local economic conditions. He did not consider his position to be one of micro- managing but an indication that he was performing the duty that he was elected to do, which is to preserve, maintain, and grow the City’s economy. It was his opinion that the budget issues facing the City could not be resolved by making “cuts” and suggested that it is necessary is for the City to “plant seeds” in order to grow its way out of the budget situation. Mrs. Williams felt that there was a duplication of economic development services provided by the State, County, and City. It was her feeling that there are more than enough economic development personnel to assist the City’s growth and that the City should not replicate the efforts of other entities. She suggested that the issue be given to the City Manager to handle. Mr. Hutchison stated that he worked on economic opportunity during his tenure as Mayor. He indicated that he was not an expert on economic development, but served as a contact person for the City and referred these matter to the experts within the City. Although he understood the importance of maintaining an economic development professional within the City, he explained the importance of the Mayor being a part of the economic development system. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig confirmed that staff’s recommendations regarding this matter were initiated when the City was made aware of the desire of the DDP to hire their own Executive Director. It was his opinion that the only action necessary was for staff to provide a recommended effective date as to when the City’s EDO would no longer provide administrative support to the DDP. The Committee recommended that staff’s recommendations regarding the (EDO) be returned to the City Manager for redevelopment. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). Authorization to Purchase Virtual Server (Police Department) Chief Hosfelt presented a request to approve a sole vendor purchase of a Virtual Server/Storage Array at a cost of $42,600. Members reviewed detailed information regarding the concept of a virtual server system. Chief Hosfelt explained that migrating to virtual servers and consolidating the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 24 computer data storage in a storage array would yield many benefits and savings over time. The Police Department would be able to reduce their physical hardware footprint and hardware costs, power consumption costs, and possibly some software licensing costs if vendor licensing methods remain the same. Chief Hosfelt advised members that the purchase would be made from Dell, which is a State contract vendor source for computer hardware. He explained that it is necessary to purchase Dell equipment to ensure that the new hardware integrates and communicates properly with the other existing servers and storage hardware currently in use in the Police Department. Chief Hosfelt indicated that funds from three (3) grants would be combined for this purchase and no matching funds would be required of the City. Staff recommended approval of the sole vendor purchase from Dell for a Virtual Server/Storage Array at a cost of $42,600. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). Proposed Ordinance #2012-07 - Incentives for Redevelopment of Vacant Commercial Buildings Staff presented members with Proposed Ordinance #2012-07, which would allow for waiver of half of the building permit fee, half of the City water and wastewater impact fees, and tax abatement on the value of improvements for redevelopment of commercial buildings of 5,000 square feet or greater, located along Route 13, Bay Road, Court Street between Bay Road and Route 13, and Route 8 west of the railroad tracks. The proposed ordinance was modeled after the downtown redevelopment incentives. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that, due to the economic downturn, municipalities in Delaware and elsewhere are offering waivers of certain fees to help spur economic growth. She noted that the proposed ordinance was drafted with a “sunset” date of December 31, 2015; therefore, incentives would be available for a finite period of time while the City attempts to encourage economic growth and filling commercial vacancies on the City’s primary commercial corridors. Mrs. Townshend indicated that the costs involved with this incentive would be associated with loss of revenue related to the waiver and are difficult to quantify, as they would depend upon the cost of specific commercial building renovations, changes in use that would require additional plumbing fixtures, and the demand for the incentives. Staff recommended that the proposed ordinance be forwarded to City Council for a First Reading on March 12, 2012 and for a Final Reading and Council Action on April 9, 2012.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 25 Mr. Shevock noted that the incentives would be restricted to certain areas of the City and although he understood the reasons for this, he suggested that the City consider offering the incentives to the entire City, reminding members that a sunset clause had been incorporated. The Committee recommended amending Proposed Ordinance #2012-07 to allow redevelopment incentives City-wide (removing Lines 17 and 18) and adoption of the ordinance as amended. (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - FEBRUARY 29, 2012 The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met on February 29, 2012 with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Presentation - Silver Lake to Isaacs Branch Trail Concept Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided members with a map depicting proposed bicycle/pedestrian improvements in the Silver Lake/Isaacs Branch area. She reminded members that there is currently a concrete multi-use path that travels through Silver Lake Park and another path near Public Safety Boulevard, behind Winner Ford, that travels to Route 10 and is referred to as the Isaacs Branch segment. She advised members that the State has expressed an interest in connecting these two (2) trail systems with a St. Jones River Trail. Mrs. Townshend stated that in the last State Bond Bill, monies were earmarked for trails and, as a result, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) have become very active in cultivating community trails. Mrs. Townshend indicated that both DNREC and DelDOT contacted the City regarding the possibility of conducting a study (concept plan) regarding a connection between these two (2) trails. Referring to the map, she reviewed a proposed phased project for the Silver Lake to Isaacs Branch Trail Concept, which would provide both recreational and transportation benefits for pedestrians and bicyclists. She noted that the long-term plan would involve several property owners, environmental issues, etc. Mrs. Townshend advised members that public workshops are planned to discuss the concept plan and she felt that this matter should be presented to the Committee for their information prior to the workshops. The Committee took no further action. Announcement of Road Closures (Gary Laing) Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), explained that DelDOT has scheduled several repaving projects in the next year and advised members that some of the work includes the City’s Historic District and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 26 involves curb ramps, road striping, etc. He assured members that DelDOT has complied with the mandate to notify residents regarding planned night work. Mr. Laing noted that very little response has been received in response to DelDOT’s notification, which clearly indicated that non-response from residents would be construed by DelDOT as consent. Mr. Laing stated that he was not aware of the construction schedule and, therefore, did not have a start date for the project. However, he noted that DelDOT takes certain events, such as Dover Days, NASCAR races, and holidays, into consideration when scheduling work and would not allow street closures during these times. Chairman Hutchison requested that Mr. Laing provide staff with the details, including the exact dates and streets involved. Responding to Mr. W. Hutchison, Mr. Laing explained that roadways are constructed so that the water runs off toward the curb and into the drainage system and water can accumulate where American Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk ramps are located. He indicated that it is hoped that the drainage system will support the runoff of water; however, water can sometimes build up in these areas, particularly during heavy rains. Discussion - Establishing City Emergency Operations Center (January 23, 2012 - Committee Recommended Referral Back to Staff for a Report to the Committee at the Next Committee Meeting) During their meeting of January 23, 2012, members reviewed correspondence from Mr. Dave Truax, Fire Marshal, relaying his concerns regarding the City’s lack of emergency preparedness awareness (outside of emergency services and emergency management personnel) and the need for an operational Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the City. After much discussion, the matter was referred back to staff for a report to the Committee at their next meeting. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, provided members a brief history of the City’s Emergency Management Plan (approved by the Mayor in August 2010) and stated that he felt the basic plan would meet the City’s current needs, although modifications would be needed as the City moves forward. He advised members that there are updates in the text of the plan that need to become more “fluid” and noted that this has not occurred because the Emergency Management Coordinator retired and a replacement was not hired due to budgetary reasons. The current plan provides for the EOC to be located at City Hall, the designation of the City’s Police Department as a backup to the City Hall EOC, and the establishment of the Kent 911 Center as backup to the Police Department EOC. He stated that the City could also utilize the Electric Administration Building if necessary. Mr. Koenig advised members that the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) uses guidelines entitled “Design Recommendations and Criteria for Emergency Operations” as a framework for designing their EOC and advised members of some of the criteria included. He indicated that keeping the EOC at City Hall would meet many of the requirements and that it would be nearly impossible to integrate an EOC into any building and have it meet all of the requirements. Mr. Koenig noted that City Hall has ample space that is readily accessible by employees, public officials, and the public and felt assured that the Police Department would not find it desirable for

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 27 people (such as volunteers) to wander through their facility during a crisis event. In addition, he noted that City Hall has restrooms, kitchen facilities, and separate rooms for confidential meetings and briefings (which play an important role in the establishment of an EOC), and additional space for a sleeping area if deemed necessary. Mr. Koenig noted that the only shortcoming for the use of City Hall as the EOC is the lack of a backup power source. As a result, he suggested that a generator be installed at City Hall, which would produce enough power to run a portion of the building. Mr. Koenig stated that during the design of the new Library, there was discussion regarding the concept of adding space for a designed and constructed EOC, at a cost of $500,000 to $1M. Staff felt that due to the costs, it was not possible to include an EOC and there was no further action taken to bring the matter to City Council. Mr. Koenig stated his opinion that it would be in the best interest of the City to assign City Hall as the primary EOC. He also suggested that City Council be requested to reassign emergency management duties to a specific individual within the City’s organization. He advised members that this request will be presented to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee during their next meeting scheduled for March 12, 2012. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig indicated that upon the retirement of the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator, his duties were dispersed among three (3) employees: the Public Affairs Coordinator, the Public Services Manager, and the City Manager. He recommended that all responsibilities be assigned to the Public Affairs Coordinator. In response to Mr. Davis, Mr. Koenig stated that the generator is currently being stored at the Warehouse and that the electrical engineers have estimated connection costs at $15,000 to $50,000, depending upon the need for a new pad. He indicated that he had not resolved to use that particular generator at this time; however, staff would continue to review this matter and will likely include a recommendation as part of the budget preparation for next fiscal year. At the request of Mr. Hutchison, Chief Hosfelt indicated his support for the recommendations presented by the City Manager. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to establish City Hall as the City’s designated Emergency Operations Center (EOC), with the Dover Police Department to serve as the backup EOC, and the Kent County 911 Center to serve as the City’s temporary (alternate) backup to the Police Department. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 28 Proposed Ordinance - #2012-06 Creating a New Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew Mr. Hare reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew and explained that the proposed ordinance mimics the City of Milford’s juvenile curfew ordinance. He noted that the proposal was the result of his participation in numerous “ride alongs” with the Dover Police Department. Mr. Hare felt that there was no reason for individuals under the age of 17 to be out in the late night/early morning hours. During his “ride alongs,” he observed several 13 to 14-year-olds walking the streets at 2:00 a.m. When questioned by the police, these juveniles indicated that they would be going home, only to be observed walking the streets again at 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. He advised members that the police indicated that they have no authority to take action in this regard. Referring to the comments submitted by Mrs. Russell, dated February 29, 2012, Mr. Hare advised members that his observations were made in various areas throughout the City and not just in the Fourth District. He indicated that the State of Delaware does not have a curfew law. Mr. Hare felt that the proposed ordinance includes provisions that would allow a juvenile with legitimate reasons to be out late in the evening or early morning hours and addresses other concerns that may be raised. Responding to Mr. W. Hutchison, Chief Hosfelt indicated that the proposed ordinance would provide police officers a useful tool and he did not feel that enforcement would place a burden on the Police Department. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew. Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare. In response to Mr. Bonar, City Solicitor Rodriguez indicated that there can be problems whenever an individual’s rights are restricted. He encouraged the Police Chief to maintain records to provide statistics indicating that the ordinance is a benefit to the City. Mr. Anderson stated his concerns that residents of the Fourth District will feel that they are targeted by the ordinance and, although this may not be the case, it is the perception of his constituents. He felt that there should be a sunset provision that would remove the curfew law if it is found not to be effective. Responding, Mr. Hare suggested that residents of the Fourth District write a letter explaining why they feel that 13 and 14-year-olds should be out at 2:00 and 2:30 in the morning. He advised members that when he participated in a “ride along” with police officers, he observed these children in all areas of the City and not just the Fourth District. The motion to approve the Committee’s recommendation for adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-06 - Chapter 59 - Juvenile Curfew was carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Anderson), and two (2) absent (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.)

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 29 Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions Mr. Lynn presented Proposed Ordinance #2012-08, which would amend Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, by prohibiting registered Tier II and Tier III sex offenders from living or working within 500 feet of a daycare center and from participating in certain events involving children. He advised members that constituents in the White Oak/Towne Point area approached him regarding their concerns related to a home that had been occupied by multiple sex offenders and was located in close proximity to a daycare center. Mr. Lynn advised members of a situation that occurred in the City of Wilmington whereby a daycare center moved near a residence occupied by multiple sex offenders (Harriet Tubman Safe House). The City of Wilmington police attempted to enforce the prohibition against sex offenders living near a school, which would have forced the sex offenders to move. He noted that the State statute indicates that sex offenders may not reside or work within 500 feet of a school; however, he explained his interpretation that the term “school” does not include daycare centers. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) litigated the Harriet Tubman case and stated they felt that the provisions regarding schools, as indicated in the State statute, do not refer to daycare centers. Mr. Lynn explained that the practical effect of the ACLU’s argument is that more protection is afforded to children from five (5) to 18 years of age than children zero (0) to five (5) years of age, although he suggested that this may not have been the General Assembly’s intent. As a result, Mr. Lynn felt that the City should address the issue to resolve any problems and protect the safety of the children within the City of Dover. In researching the matter, Mr. Lynn stated that there is a “routine activity” theory (developed in 1979 by Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen) which indicates that for crimes to occur, three (3) conditions must exist: 1) the presence of a motivated offender; 2) access to a potential victim; and 3) absence of capable guardians to prevent criminal activity. Applying this to sex offender residence restrictions would suggest that predatory or pedophiliac sex offenders are most likely to commit new assaults against children when they have unrestricted or unmonitored access to them. Thus, living in close proximity to schools or other places known to cater to children might increase opportunities for sex offenders to have contact with children or view children playing, thus reinforcing their already sexually deviant preferences and facilitating child sexual abuse. Mr. Lynn stated that although there have not been many studies conducted regarding recidivism rates and close proximity to daycare centers and schools, he located a study conducted by Dr. Paul Zandbergen (available at www.paulzandbergen.com), which indicates that evidence was not conclusive that the residential restrictions have any effect on recidivism rates; however, Dr. Zandbergen noted that there were limitations to his study. Specifically, he noted that the sample size was diluted by the inclusion of low-level sex offenders. Mr. Lynn explained that the State of Delaware and General Assembly determined that it was not desirable to have sex offenders living or working within 500 feet of schools and, as such, this same protection should be provided to children aged zero (0) to five (5) years of age. He noted that the proposed ordinance amendment applies only to Tier II and Tier III sex offenders and only to commercial daycare centers (in-home daycare centers would not be included). He also noted that any sex offenders affected by the amendment would have one (1) year to comply.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 30 Referring to the comments submitted by Mrs. Russell, Mr. Lynn stated that if a daycare center were to open next to a sex offender’s residence, the sex offender would have one (1) year to relocate, the same timeframe would apply to offenders who currently reside within the specified distance of a daycare center. According to his discussions with Chief Hosfelt, the Police Department would be able to handle enforcement of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Lynn explained that the proposed ordinance does not include home daycare centers because their inclusion would prohibit sex offenders from living almost anywhere in the City of Dover. He assured members that the proposed ordinance does not violate State law. Chief Hosfelt introduced Cpl. Harvey Jaksch and Cpl. Mickie Price, who serve as the Sex Offenders Unit for the City of Dover Police Department. He explained that the number of sex offenders changes daily and that it is estimated that there are 10 sex offenders in the City that the proposed ordinance would affect currently. He stated that there are 192 Tier II and Tier III sex offenders and a total of 213 sex offenders in the City of Dover. Chief Hosfelt stated that the monitoring practices employed by the City’s Sex Offenders Unit far exceed State requirements. Chief Hosfelt stated that, after researching sample ordinances throughout the nation, staff determined that similar ordinances have included language concerning holidays (such as wearing costumes, distributing candy, etc.). It was staff’s opinion that the City’s ordinance should include such language as well; therefore, it was incorporated in the proposed ordinance (see Prohibited Activities for Sexual Offenders). Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, clarified that although drafts of the proposed ordinance were submitted to the City Solicitor’s Office for review, the final draft has not been reviewed at this time. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, indicated that once a recommendation is formulated by the Committee, staff would forward the draft ordinance to the City Solicitor for final review prior to Council action. Mr. Lynn advised members that copies of the proposed ordinance have also been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Office for their review and comment. Mrs. Townshend stated that a map depicting the commercial daycare centers within the City was available. Chief Hosfelt stated that there are currently 35 commercial daycare centers and 63 in-home daycare centers. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 - Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions. Mr. Lynn reiterated the comments made during the Committee meeting and although he agreed that there are two (2) sides to be considered regarding this matter, he suggested that members err on the side of caution by giving children, birth to five (5) years of age and school age children who are in before/after care, the same level of protection that the General Assembly wanted them to have when they passed the State Statute.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 31 In response to Mr. Lynn, Police Chief Hosfelt indicated that, currently, it is estimated that there are 10 sex offenders in the City who would be affected by the proposed ordinance. In response to Mrs. Williams, Chief Hosfelt stated he was unsure how many of those are pedophiles. Mrs. Williams relayed her concern regarding the large cost associated with enforcement of the ordinance, which may affect only a small number of offenders. Mr. Anderson suggested an amendment that would provide an exemption for owner occupied properties if owned by the offender, their spouse, or civil union partner. Responding, Mr. Lynn stated that although he understood the concern, members must consider the “heart” of the proposed ordinance, which is to protect children. In regard to the question of pedophiles, Mr. Lynn stated that according to experts in the mental health profession, sex offenders in general do not have specific borders and are more likely to commit crimes against children just by virtue of being sex offenders. As a mental health professional, Mrs. Williams disagreed, explaining that the offenses of pedophiles are almost exclusively aimed at children and that the issue is not about sex, it is about control and empowerment. Other tiered sex offenders may be registered as a result of offensive touching with another adult. She indicated her support of the ordinance if it were to be amended to be directed to pedophiles. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Lynn stated that he would not consider amending the ordinance to include only pedophiles since he did not believe the concern was solely those preying on young children but also sex offenders of teenage girls. Clarifying, Mrs. Williams indicated that pedophiles, by the nature of the law, are classified as such whenever their crime is committed against anyone under the age of 18. Mr. Hutchison noted that there are individuals in attendance who may wish to speak. Mr. Hutchison moved to waive the rules to allow public testimony, seconded by Mr. Lynn. The motion failed by a roll call vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mr. Bonar), and two (2) absent (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy). Council President Leary reminded members that such a motion required a two-thirds majority (six (6) affirmative votes). Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation for adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 - Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, seconded by Mr. Lynn. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Council President Leary stated that the First Reading was scheduled to take place during the latter part of the meeting and that the Final Reading was scheduled for April 9, 2012. Mr. Anderson noted that members would have the ability to present amendments for consideration prior to the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Hare questioned why Mr. Anderson would consider any amendments to the proposed ordinance when he did not support waiving the rules to allow public testimony. Responding, Mr. Anderson

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 32 reminded members that the guidelines for the Open Forum were recently amended to allow public testimony on items listed on the agenda and noted that individuals did speak on this issue at that time. In addition, he stated that there would be other opportunities for the public to speak regarding this issue (during the Open Forum segment of the April 9, 2012 Council Meeting). The motion to approve the Committee’s recommendation for adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-08 - Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions was carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mrs. Williams), and two (2) absent (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Update - Dover High School Construction Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that during their previous meeting there was much discussion regarding the new Dover High School’s east entrance (which lines up with Heatherfield East), which had been planned as a signalized intersection with a pedestrian crossing. She reminded members that the most recent comments received from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) were extremely adamant that their traffic section opposes a signal in this location. She stated that the City Manager sent a letter to Secretary Bhatt, as directed, to relay support for the signalization of the east entrance intersection and a pedestrian crossing. Staff received a response from Secretary Bhatt indicating that the letter was received and forwarded to appropriate staff. If a positive response is not received, she anticipated the need for the City to seek assistance from legislators. Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, DelDOT, stated that he spoke with the Director of Traffic regarding this matter and advised members that the Capital School District had conducted a traffic study for a signal at the west entrance, where the warrants were met. He advised members that in order for a signal to be installed, the intersection must meet warrants and that the installation of signals involves liability issues. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend stated that a signal was proposed for the east entrance on the plan documents that were submitted and approved by the Planning Commission. She assured members that DelDOT was included in development meetings with the developer for the Dover High School project. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Laing stated that the DelDOT Director of Traffic has recommended that the Capital School District request another study. He stated that it is not unusual for a development site plan that is submitted to a municipality or other governmental organization to include a traffic signal; however, that does not commit DelDOT to install the signal, since a study would not have been completed to determine whether or not a signal is warranted. Mr. Hutchison requested that staff reach out to all involved parties in an attempt to resolve this matter and that the City submit a request for a study. Mr. Hutchison moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. ENGAGEMENT LETTER - LABOR NEGOTIATIONS Members were provided an Engagement Letter from Glenn C. Mandalas of Baird Mandalas, LLC, dated March 7, 2012, to represent the City of Dover in connection with labor negotiations with the Dover Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 15 ("FOP"), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1238 ("IBEW"), and the Dover Organization of Employees ("DOE"). By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved to authorize staff to sign the Engagement Letter with Baird Mandalas, LLC as presented. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). EVALUATION OF BIDS - LIBRARY FURNITURE Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the ground was broken on the new Dover Public Library in April 2011 and that the Library is at 50% construction and on time for a June 2012 construction completion date. Included in the project budget is $703,000 for furniture and fixtures. He stated that there is lead time on the order and delivery necessary so that furniture may be delivered and installed to meet the construction schedule and deadlines. The furniture and fixtures purchases are being coordinated with the construction and delivery dates. Furniture that could not be purchased through State contract will be bid and if applicable, presented to Council at a later date.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 34 In accordance with our purchasing policy, equipment purchases under $200,000 are not required to have Council approval, unless they are a sole source procurement, have a sole vendor or are not the low bid. Bids are required for purchases over $25,000 and staff oversees this process. Mr. Koenig advised members that an amount of $703,000 has been budgeted for furniture & fixtures and that $293,000 was approved by Council on February 27, 2011 for shelving. At this time, staff submitted a list of furniture to be purchased through State contract, totaling $309,000. He assured members that staff has reviewed the furniture order from Corporate Interiors through the State contract per the cooperative purchasing policy (Section 3.5) in place in the City of Dover. Staff recommended approval of the purchase of the furniture for the new Library in the amount of $309,000 from Corporate Interiors. In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that the higher cost was due to the quality of the furniture (institutional) and since it is semi-custom. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation for the purchase of furniture for the new Library in the amount of $309,000 from Corporate Interiors, seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell and Dr. McGlumphy absent). FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCES Council President Leary reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinances were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or could be obtained from the City Clerk's Office. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinances will take place during the Council Meeting of April 9, 2012.

April 2, 2012 Honorable Carleton E. Carey, Sr., Mayor Members of Dover City Council City Hall Dover, DE 19901 Mayor Carey and Council Members: It is my pleasure to submit to you the Dover Police Department 2011 Annual Report. This past year proved to be challenging for the employees of this fine organization. The old adage “do more with less” is very ap- propriate when considering the amount of work completed with reduced staffing throughout 2011. It is my belief that 2012 will prove to be just as challenging for all those involved in public safety, but I assure you the employees of the Dover Police Department are up to the task. When reviewing this report you will find that the Department’s total calls for service have increased 3%, which is a total of 1,091 more complaints then the previous year. Although the total number of Group A Crimes decreased by less than 1%, Violent Crime in the City of Dover increased by 24%. Violent Crimes encompass murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. The Dover Police Department continues to excel in the area of major crime investigations. In 2011, our case load involving serious crimes were cleared at exceptionally high levels and exceeding that of most po- lice departments in the nation of similar size. This year we experienced 22 more robberies than in 2010 and 64% of these crimes were cleared. There were 146 burglary investigations in 2011, 21 less than 2010. Of the 146 burglaries, 72% of these crimes were cleared. As you view the graphs on pages 8 and 10 you will see that we have greatly exceeded national averages again this year. It has long been the philosophy of the Dover Police Department that a very large percentage of crime in Do- ver is tied to illegal drugs. This year the Drugs, Vice and Organized Crime Section accounted for 1,909 pro- active arrests involving drugs, prostitution and counterfeit merchandise. As a result of these arrests, this group of officers seized significant amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and various forms of prescription medication. Additionally, $149,000.00 was seized during these illegal drug investigations. Dover Police Department 2011 Annual Report

Dover Police Department 2011 Annual Report Page 2 You will also notice that the number of crashes (accidents) decreased by 4% from the previous year. This is the ninth consecutive year that we have had a reduction in the number of crashes from the previous year. The total number of traffic arrests this year is 19,221 to include 3,461 speeding violations and 689 arrests for the use of cellular device while driving. The use of a Cellular Device While Driving was a new law en- acted for calendar year 2011. Additionally, the Dover Police Department issued 2,496 traffic reprimands (warnings). In comparison, these totals from the previous year will indicate a 9% reduction in traffic enforce- ment and is directly attributed to the temporary reduction in manpower and the increase in assigned com- plaint load. In December, a team of CALEA assessors completed an extensive, in-depth examination of 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 where compliance could be witnessed and verified. There are 480 standards of compliance that were reviewed and evaluated. I am deeply gratified to report that the Dover Police Department was found to be in compliance with all 480 stan- dards. As a result, the Dover Police Department was accredited for the fifth time by the Commission on Ac- creditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and is the first law enforcement agency in the state of Delaware to receive the “Accreditation with Excellence Award”. Additionally, this award has only been is- sued to 34 police agencies nationwide as well as international departments from Mexico and Canada. In closing, I would encourage you to review this report in its entirety since I have only taken the time to high- light a few specific areas. As Chief of Police I take great pride in the amount of hard work and dedication put forth by my co-workers, the employees of the Dover Police Department. It is our intention to continue the good work we have completed this year and build upon it in the year 2012 and beyond. Respectfully submitted, James E. Hosfelt, Jr. Chief of Police JEH/sbf enclosure Dover Police Department 2011 Annual Report

Detective Aaron Dickinson (Dover Police DEA Task Force Officer) was awarded the Crime Stoppers Investi- gator of the Year award in 2011 for investigating and shutting down a major interstate prescription pill organization which was operating in and around the City of Dover and was being supplied by major out of state distributors. Det. Dickinson, with assistance from the Dover Police Drug, Vice and Organized Crime Unit and the DEA Task Force, was able to identify not only the local distribu- tors but proceeded to investigate and arrest suppliers from another state and seize their assets. This is a prime example of the good working relationship Dover Police has with local, state and federal law enforcement.

Exhibit B PNC Commitment

PNC Proposal The City of Dover Interest will be calculated on the daily outstandings on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed and will be due monthly in arrears for Daily LIBOR borrowings; and on the last day of each interest period for all other LIBOR borrowings. OPTION CHOSEN At the end of the construction period, Bank will offer a non synthetic fully bank qualified tax exempt fixed rate that may be selected at the option of the Borrower. The Borrower may also elect to enter into a forward rate commitment with the Bank at the time of closing. Interest Rate Protection: in lieu of a non synthetic fixed rate, the Borrower may at its option, enter into and maintain an interest rate protection agreement (the "Hedge No swaps per Debt Agreement"), which conforms to ISDA standards and has terms and is Policy with a counterparty satisfactory to the Bank, enabling the Borrower to protect itself against fluctuations in interest rates with respect to all or a portion of the principal amount of the Credit Facility. If the Bank is the counterparty to the Hedge Agreement, all obligations of the Borrower to the Bank arising pursuant thereto shall be secured by the Collateral (as described below). If the Bank is not the counterparty, such Hedge Agreement shall be unsecured . The indicative rate for a forward starting swap in current market conditions would be the following, using a 3 year, 5 year and 7 year loan term, each with 20 year amortization: 3 year forward swap: 1.94% 5 year forward swap: 2.42% 7 year forward swap: 2.75% Prepayment: If interest is accruing at a variable rate, the Borrower may prepay the note in full or in part at any time without penalty. Customary yield protection and fixed rate prepayment cost recovery provisions will be included in the definitive loan documents. Default Rate: 3% over the effective interest rate. Commitment/ Closing Fee: None. Expenses: All expenses incurred by the Bank, including appraisal, environmental, searches, construction consultant, recording of UCC filing s and other security interests, and audit and reasonable legal fees (inside and outside), and any other expenses in reference to structuring, documenting, closing, monitoring or enforcing the Credit Facilities, shall be for the account of the Borrower and payable at closing and otherwise on demand.

Planning Commission Recommendation: Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on March 19, 2012, where two members of the public spoke in opposition to the rezoning request and four members of the public spoke in favor of the rezoning request (three of the four being owners of subject properties), Planning Commission voted 5-1 in favor of recommending approval of the rezoning request. File Number: Z-12-01 Ordinance #2012-04

Z-12-01 Lands of Lucas, Reidy, Klewans and Candor at Mifflin Road and Route 8 Report to City Council – April 9, 2012 Page 2 This rezoning application consists of three parcels of land totaling of 2.21 acres ±. The properties are currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The subject properties are located at the southwest corner of Forrest Avenue (Route 8) and Mifflin Road. The owners of record are Peter F. & Bonnie S. Reidy, Robert Klewans, and Doreen Lucas. Property Addresses: 4 Mifflin Road, 24 Mifflin Road, and 1510 Forrest Avenue. Tax Parcels: ED05-076.09-01-11.00-000, ED05- 076.09-01-12.00-000, and ED05-076.06-01-08.00-000. Existing Property: The subject property consists of three residential parcels of land, each with a one-family home on the property. Surrounding Land Uses: The surrounding uses vary. To the north across Route 8 is a condominium complex (apartment style buildings) zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone). East across Mifflin Road is property zoned CPO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone). South along Mifflin Road are residential properties zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone). West long Forrest Avenue is agricultural property in unincorporated Kent County. Those properties fronting on Forrest Avenue are within the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) which requires enhanced design requirements for development activities such as landscaping, setbacks, building placement, parking, buffering, etc. to promote superior urban design. Comprehensive Plan: In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended, dated 4/11/2011) recommends that this property be used for Residential Low Density Uses. The rezoning request is not consistent with this Land Use Classification; however a Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application accompanies this application (MI-12-01: Item A). The action on the rezoning must be consistent with the action on the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Request for C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) The types of permitted uses in the C-2A Zone are given Article 3 §14 of the Zoning Ordinance. The permitted uses include the following: • Convenience retail stores such as drug stores, grocery stores, luncheonettes, variety stores or combinations thereof. • Personal service stores such as, but not limited to, barbershops, beauty parlors, and tailors, provided that where steam pressure is used in clothes pressing, it shall not exceed 60 pounds per square inch. • Service establishments furnishings services other than of a personal nature, but excluding gasoline filling stations and motor vehicle storage, repair, or service. • Residential uses. • Other retail and service establishments, but excluding: o Gasoline filling stations and motor vehicle storage, repair, or service, except that gasoline pumps shall be permitted as an accessory use, subject to conditional use approval by the planning commission pursuant to article 10, section 1.

Z-12-01 Lands of Lucas, Reidy, Klewans and Candor at Mifflin Road and Route 8 Report to City Council – April 9, 2012 Page 3 o Wholesaling, warehousing or storage. o The manufacturing, printing, assembling, converting, altering, finishing, cleaning or any other processing of goods on the premises, except as permitted in the C-1 zone. o Excessive traffic generating uses, such as theaters, drive-ins, bowling alleys and other commercial, recreation, restaurants, etc. • Business, professional or governmental offices. • Banks, theaters and restaurants. • Hotels, clubs and places of worship. • Civic institutions. Recommendation of CPO (Commercial and Professional Office District) The types of permitted uses in the CPO Zone are given Article 3 §26 of the Zoning Ordinance. The permitted uses include the following: • Business, professional or governmental offices. • Banks, savings and loan associations, investment companies, credit bureaus, brokers and similar financial institutions. • Service agencies, such as real estate agencies, insurance agencies, computer services, and travel agencies. • Medical and dental offices including clinics and laboratories incidental to these uses. • Offices for philanthropic and eleemosynary institutions and organizations. • Conditional uses: o Drive-in facilities for any permitted use, designed primarily to provide services to persons while they are in automobiles. o Apartments, provided that no dwelling units shall be permitted on the first floor and at least two off-street parking spaces shall be provided in the area for each apartment. PLUS Review: The Comprehensive Plan Amendment requests were reviewed through the State’s Preliminary Land Use Service (PLUS) process. The following comment was offered by DelDOT and should be considered as it relates to the requested zoning classification: Recommendation of the Planning Staff and Planning Commission: Staff recommended that the applicant and Planning Commission consider modifying the rezoning to CPO (Commercial and Professional Office) zoning instead of C-2A (Limited Central

Z-12-01 Lands of Lucas, Reidy, Klewans and Candor at Mifflin Road and Route 8 Report to City Council – April 9, 2012 Page 4 Commercial). This would permit a number of less intense commercial (non-retail) uses that would be more compatible with the adjacent residential uses. The CPO Zone has frequently been used as a transition or buffer zone between more intense commercial zones and residential areas. This is also the zoning classification of the bank property to the east at the southeast corner of Mifflin Road and Forrest Avenue. In addition to providing a transition between the commercial and residential areas, this would be consistent with the recommendation provided by DelDOT. The staff recommended also that the properties remain subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) due to their frontage on/or proximity to Forrest Avenue (Route 8). The purposes of the COZ-1 are to promote superior urban corridor development; to foster coordination and linkage among corridor properties; to preserve functionality and efficiency of the roadway for traffic movement; and to achieve a visually balanced streetscape environment friendly to the pedestrian and motorist. (Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §27) The applicant notified the Planning Office by e-mail on March 7, 2012 (see attached), that the recommended CPO (Commercial and Professional Office) zoning is acceptable. The Planning Office recommendation was made prior to public testimony on the rezoning application. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on March 19, 2012, where two members of the public spoke in opposition to the rezoning request and four members of the public spoke in favor of the rezoning request (three of the four being owners of subject properties), Planning Commission voted 5-1 in favor of recommending approval of the rezoning request.

Excerpt from Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes of March 19, 2012: Z-12-01 Lands of Reidy, Lucas and Klewans at southwest corner of Route 8 and Mifflin Road – Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council on a rezoning application consists of three parcels of land totaling of 2.21 acres ±. The properties are currently zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning is C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) and subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The subject properties are located at the southwest corner of Forrest Avenue (Route 8) and Mifflin Road. The owners of record are Peter F. & Bonnie S. Reidy, Robert Klewans, and Doreen Lucas. Property Addresses: 4 Mifflin Road, 24 Mifflin Road, and 1510 Forrest Avenue. Tax Parcels: ED05-076.09-01-11.00-000, ED05-076.09-01-12.00-000, and ED05-076.06-01- 08.00-000. Council District 1. Ordinance #2012-04. The ability to consider this Rezoning Application depends on the action taken by City Council on March 12, 2012 on application MI- 12-01 Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2012: Part A. Representatives: Mr. A.C. Lucas, property owner. Mrs. Townshend stated that this request was initially to change the zoning to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). You will recall that last month this was the subject of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment request. There was discussion regarding the appropriateness of commercial zoning on this corner. Following public hearing, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend to City Council that they not approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as put forward by the applicant. Mrs. Townshend further stated that at the City Council meeting last week, City Council held a public hearing and ultimately decided to amend the Comprehensive Plan to show this area as commercial. Mrs. Townshend further stated that when the Comprehensive Plan Amendment went to PLUS she will point out the DelDOT comments. They stated “regarding the proposed commercial classification for the southwest corner of Forrest Avenue and Mifflin Road, we recommend that the City consider designating more lots for this purpose, keeping the existing residential low density classification, or perhaps, zoning the lots for a less intense non-residential use.” The Planning Staff had recommended that the applicant consider a CPO Zoning (Commercial/Professional Office Zone) which permits businesses, professional and government offices, bank, savings and loans, investment companies, credit bureaus, financial institutions, real estate agencies, insurance agencies, and the like. The CPO zone essentially does not permit retail as it is a lower intensity commercial zone than the C-2A which was requested. Mrs. Townshend further stated that the report that you have before you shows the uses that are permitted in the CPO zone. Again, with the rezoning, this property would continue to be subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The applicant was provided the information regarding the C-2A versus the CPO zone and based on an email that was provided to us by Mr. Lucas, he indicated that at least on his part, they were amenable to the CPO zoning and the other applicants were copied in that email as well. We have not heard otherwise. The other agency DAC comments have been provided; however, nothing specifically related to the rezoning.

Excerpt from Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes of 3/19/12 Page 2 Mr. Lucas stated that the three (3) property owners assembled this property to have ample road frontage and acreage as it made sense and have agreed to downgrade to the CPO zoning which is less intense with more restricted hours and less intense traffic. Mr. Nichols stated that he has a lot of reservations regarding this application as traffic is already horrendous. He is on Mifflin Road and Route 8 a couple times a day and at the easterly inside lane before you turn into Mifflin Road there is a yield sign there. However, if you stop and watch fifty (50) percent of the people do not know what a yield sign means so they are coming around and in the mean time you have people coming down Route 8 that are turning at the same time and then the ones that are coming in off of the easterly lane want to go into Wawa or the bank so you have confusion of a lot of traffic in this area. There is a tremendous amount of traffic that is turning off of Route 8 onto Mifflin Road. He feels that the traffic is warranting it not being a commercial property. Mr. Tolbert questioned if their plan was to develop this corner and tear down the houses? Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Lucas stated that this was correct. Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing. Mr. Edwin Baker – 1526 Forrest Avenue – Stated that his concern is the traffic. If any of the Commissioners go out and look at this site, you will find that the only section of the road that does not get heavy traffic is the west side of Mifflin Road where those houses are. If you are coming east, there is the yield lane. If you are coming down Mifflin Road, and you are going to turn east, there is a yield sign. When you pull up to the red light and you try to look west, with the cars merging in and the other cars merging the opposite way, it is very hard to see the traffic. There have been numerous accidents already there. So to develop this into a commercial property is only going to compound the problem with the Wawa and the bank being there. He travels this road every day and it is very dangerous now. With the new school coming, it will compound it even more as these properties are torn down. Apparently, to have three (3) different owners to give up their properties to go commercial apparently, there is someone in the wings that may be building a good sized building there which is going to employ people which he realizes will develop more problems for the traffic. He would encourage everyone who has not seen this intersection to go look at it before you approve or disapprove because he feels that it is self-explanatory. Once an area is developed for that, as he has experienced tonight, they come back with other plans and he feels that this would happen. This concerns him as these properties are not that deep and with not knowing what is going there, it is hard to comment on. The traffic issue is going to be a major one and apparently the State has even commented on that. He feels that this is something that you should take a hard look at. He noticed that from Mifflin Road going east into Dover, there are a lot of properties that are available for commercial sites. His feeling is that he always thought that Mifflin Road was the stopping point for commercial expansion and it seems to have stopped there; however, it is trying to move forward west. It is a concern to him because he does have the property located at 1526 Forrest Avenue and believes that now, at quitting time, the traffic in the morning and afternoons is unbelievable. With the 10:00 am coffee break at Wawa, you can hardly get onto Route 8 from the Wawa site as everyone cuts through the bank to get out onto Mifflin Road

Excerpt from Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes of 3/19/12 Page 3 because there is a red light there. He feels that this application should be denied and remain residential. Mr. Bob Klewans – 24 Mifflin Road – Stated that he would like to address the concerns of the traffic. When he bought out there, there was not as much traffic. Traffic has come about not because of the commercial development of Wawa and the bank; traffic has come about because of the development on Hazletteville Road. Nothing was ever done in the planning stage to develop any road to connect Hazletteville Road with Route 8 to bring all of the traffic through. When you talk about Cannon Run (Mill), Eagles Nest, and Westover and all the other developments in that area, they all come out and turn to go down Mifflin Road that is the traffic problem. When we went through this a couple of years ago, he sat and actually counted how much traffic actually turns in as opposed to how much traffic uses Mifflin Road as a cut through. Now, the City, or whoever had the power allowed the high school to be built there. Surely, the State is going to do something with the roads. He agrees with what they are saying about the traffic; however, whether you put an insurance company there or a bank that is not going to create a traffic hazard. The traffic hazard is already there and the coming of the high school and a new set of apartment buildings coming out on Route 8 is even going to add to it. They are going to have to widen Route 8 and the turn lane will probably cease to exist or be moved farther into the properties. He does not understand how a building on that corner is going to add that kind of traffic as the traffic is already there. If you have the apartment building, how many cars are you going to have with that apartment building and those people getting in their cars and driving places? He agrees with Mr. Baker, Mifflin Road is the end of the commercial line. When he moved out here, the end of the line was sort of Kenton Road as there was no Wawa or McDonald’s. These are all new things. This is the way that the City is moving and this is progress and the fact that there are more and more commercial buildings moving westward is just the way that it is. He would ask the Planning Commission to look at the realities of what is going on out there and also what is going on as far as the movement of commercialism and residential as well. His property located at 24 Mifflin Road. When you say it is on Mifflin Road, it goes back no further than the current WSFS building on Mifflin Road. It is not as if we are going into Mifflin Road and extending the traffic. Mr. Thomas Byrns – 1514 Forrest Avenue – Stated that after we got together the last time, he went home and looked out his front window and he looked at Route 8 and he said “well a lot of things have changed.” Then the State came back and said to think about other properties. This was one of the concerns last time we were together too about how far the commercial was going to come. To him, in looking at the map, he is not familiar with what the Corridor Overlay Zone is; however, he went back and took a look at the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan seemed to want the west side of Mifflin Road as well as the whole corner involved in the City corporate. To look at the map, it almost seems like, if in fact, we will commercialize this corner then why not bring it right up to where the natural break is which would be at 1522 Forrest Avenue. This would be a natural break for the corner, not that he and his wife are willing to leave their property because they have been there for so long; however, if it seems like the properties that they are looking at right now. We know for a fact that Bonnie and Pete have moved, the house next to him is a rental property. We are the people who actually live in this house and we pull out onto Route 8 everyday just like the folks behind us.

Excerpt from Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes of 3/19/12 Page 4 So to look at the plan, he is not in favor of just doing the corner there; however, if you bring it up to the natural break where it would be at the end of 1522 Forrest Avenue, that makes sense. Mrs. Carol Candor – 24 Mifflin Road – Stated that she lives and has lived for the past eight (8) years at 44 Courtside Drive, B-12 which is a condominium where she lives on the first floor of the B building which out her porch she can see the Lucas property and the Reidy property. Until six (6) months ago, she worked at the hospital so she drove back and forth from 8:00 AM in the morning until 4:30 PM in the evening and the traffic is bad in this area. However, she is hoping that with the high school and if the corner of Mifflin Road becomes commercial and if a physician’s office is there or something like that then the lanes will be widened because this is not a developed corner. It is because the roads at this intersection that she can hear the screeches and the accidents because the street is not developed at this corner. There might be a stop sign there. She walks back and forth to Mifflin Road because she has friends that live on it and it takes forever when you push the button to walk across the street. She too remembers when she first lived at Mifflin Road and she looked out the kitchen window and saw across the street where it was a nice green treed property. She thought the end of the commercial was Greentree Plaza Super Fresh and thought that this is where it was going to stop. Then Wawa came and then moved to where the house used to stand next to Wawa and then the Wawa moved there and then WSFS went up. Now she looks out on Route 8 and she sees the Royal Farm complex at Pearsons Corner and she sees the school. She does not think that you are going to be able to say this is where it stops. Mifflin Road is within the City limits and she does not believe that the Bakers and the Byrns are within City limits. However, they could have chosen to be within the City limits; however, they did not so she really does not think that they have a say about what goes on with the City of Dover plans for this area. Mrs. Bonnie Reidy – 4 Mifflin Road – Stated that she looks around the room here and there is no one here from Mifflin Road except for the few of us who are requesting this rezoning. We have been here a very long time on Mifflin Road and have been considered the country because no one even wanted to drive out of Dover to come out here because it was so far out. It is all melded together just like the rest of the City in all different directions. The traffic is ridiculous as we cannot even get out of our driveway at times. It is not fit for young children to be driving around here. Thankfully, all of my children have all grown up and are gone before it got so bad where accidents occur here all the time. Outside last Friday night, she and husband were standing outside working on a car; the noise and exhaust fumes are not even meant for residential of any kind. It is absolutely horrible being outside any time of the day on that corner or on that road for that matter. She used to walk up and down Mifflin Road just for exercise and she wouldn’t dare do that anymore. The traffic is not going to go away; it is only going to get worse especially with Dover High School coming in. With property entrances and exits as might occur with the rezoning, that would take care of a lot of the problems that are happening now such as the accidents that are occurring normally on that corner. Besides the fact that people think that they are supposed to be doing 50 MPH coming down Route 8 where it is 35 MPH. Rezoning would solve the lane problems as it is not fit for residential life. She would like you to consider changing the zoning for these properties especially since it is in the Corridor Overlay Zone where at once someone did consider this might happen.

Excerpt from Planning Commission DRAFT Minutes of 3/19/12 Page 5 Mr. Pete Reidy – 4 Mifflin Road – Stated that they have been in this house for roughly twenty- eight (28) years. The shopping center where Super Fresh is when they moved in was under construction. Technically, the commercial line was the railroad twenty-eight (28) years ago. For someone to say that you cannot go commercial when there is commercial property across the street from us with a horse farm behind them where they board horses, as far as he is concerned, that is a commercial piece of property from one perspective to another. The traffic can be addressed. It may take roads. It may take lanes and exits and entrances played around; however, it is an area that can be addressed. He thinks that it is ridiculous to think that commercial property would need to stop at the Wawa. Mr. Hemmig closed the public hearing after seeing no one else in the public wishing to speak. Mr. Ambruso stated that Mifflin Road has evolved into what it is today to be something that it always was intended to be and a lot of people just do not realize it. Mifflin Road was the feeder road for the Hazletteville Road years ago. A contractor came along and bought a lot and built a home on it and it sold, then he bought another lot and before you know it he had built three (3) or four (4) nice homes. Then other people got the idea and even though it is very pretty, that was intended to be a feeder road. Somehow or another, it got away from City Council over the years and one at a time they allowed a lot to be built and you now have the Mifflin Road that you have. It is absolutely gorgeous but this road was intended to be a feeder road for Scott Paper and General Foods. Mr. Tolbert stated that he would raise a question. With regards to going on at length raising the concerns of traffic and other things, the issue before us this evening is just the rezoning and our recommendations to City Council. Responding to Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Hemmig stated that this was correct. Once the zoning is changed and they come back with a plan, all of these issues would be addressed at that time of Site Plan approval. Mr. Tolbert moved to forward to City Council a recommendation to approve Z-12-01 Lands of Reidy, Lucas and Klewans located at the southwest corner of Route 8 and Mifflin Road as recommended by Staff to CPO (Commercial Professional Office) and to retain the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) with the general reason for approval is the Staff recommendation and the fact that City Council amended the Comprehensive Plan as the land use classification of commercial combined with the public testimony, seconded by Mr. Baldwin and the motion carried 5-1 with Mr. Nichols opposed and Mr. Holt, Mr. Friedman and Colonel Welsh absent. Mr. Nichol’s reasons for opposition are noted in his earlier comments.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on March 12, 2012 at 5:32 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Lynn, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Mrs. Williams was absent. Members of Council present were Council President Leary and Mr. Hutchison. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Request for Amendment to Resolution #2010-07 (Adopted August 9, 2010) - Wesley College Alley and Street Abandonment During their Regular Meeting of August 9, 2010, City Council adopted Resolution #2010-07, vacating and abandoning the alleys and streets surrounding Wesley College on the condition that the Wesley College Plan include the replacement of existing parking and an increase in total parking, that the utility easements remain in effect, that public access easements for Fulton and Cecil Streets be part of the plan, that the timing of the street and alley closures be coordinated with the site plan approval, and that the aforementioned Development Advisory Committee (DAC) comments generated by this process and those included in the DAC Application Review Commentary (see Exhibit #9 to the July 12, 2010 Council Minutes) were included as part of the plan, and that public access easements be provided through the campus along Fulton and Cecil Streets. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that Wesley College has requested a revision to the conditions of approval for the abandonment of several improved streets and alleys in the vicinity of Wesley College. Specifically, City Council had adopted staff’s recommendation that the City maintain ownership and maintenance of the streets and alleys until they are physically altered by construction in accordance with site plan approval from the Planning Commission. She indicated that the College is requesting that these streets and alleys be abandoned immediately so that they can complete the parcel consolidation and other aspects of their site plan. Mrs. Townshend assured members that the Wesley College project has been moving forward. Members were advised that in the Summer of 2011, a Site Development Master Plan (S-11-13) was filed for review outlining the site planning and streetscape campus enhancements associated with the abandonment of designated sections of North Bradford Street, Fulton Street, Cecil Street, and several alleys in the Wesley College campus area. The submission included the Record Plan for vacated right-of-way and a Master Plan consisting of five (5) phases of site improvements, including pedestrian amenities, paving, landscaping, and parking lot reconfiguration/construction. At their meeting of August 15, 2011, the City of Dover Planning Commission granted conditional approval of the Site Development Master Plan for the Wesley College Master Plan for Streetscape Campus Enhancements. The approval was granted in accordance with the conditions of approval outlined in the DAC Report dated August 4, 2011. In addition, members were advised that the applicant had taken the next steps and filed the Administrative Site Plan (S-12-01) for the Wesley College Streetscape project, including an overall plan showing the areas to be vacated. This submission is currently under review by staff and other City Departments and agencies. Staff recommended approval of the request to allow the street and alley abandonment of the designated areas (Areas #1-7) to occur immediately rather than coinciding with physical construction activities. The previous concerns of staff regarding the abandonment of the public streets and alleys

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 2 occurring without an approved plan for redevelopment and incorporation of the areas into the Campus has been mitigated through actions taken by Wesley College. The College has presented and received conditional approval from the Planning Commission for a Site Development Master Plan to develop a series of streetscape and campus enhancements in these areas. Wesley College is also working on the Record Plans to document the formal transfer of ownership. In addition, staff recommended that, upon abandonment, the one-way segments of North Bradford Street that will remain public streets be open to two (2) way traffic to provide adequate access and circulation for those properties that are accessed off these segments of North Bradford Street. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the revisions requested by Wesley College to allow for the immediate abandonment of the streets and alleys. In response to Mr. Lynn’s concerns regarding the rights of third parties, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the utilities that have pole attachments associated with these areas have been working with the City’s Electric Department. He assured members that all the utilities with facilities in the area are aware of the project and all work is being coordinated between the City and the project managers for Wesley College and the utility companies. Mr. Lynn moved to recommend approval of the Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve the request by Wesley College for an Amendment to Resolution #2010-07 to allow for the immediate abandonment of the streets and alleys, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously carried. (It is Recommended that a Public Hearing be Set to Consider Resolution No. 2012-05 (Attachment #1) Amending Resolution No. 2010-07.) Request for Alley Abandonment (Improved) - East Side of North Bradford Street (Additional Alley in Conjunction with the Wesley College Streetscape Master Plan) Members considered a request of Wesley College that the City abandon an alley located on the Wesley College campus on the east side of North Bradford Street. This request is being made as part of the implementation of the Wesley College Master Plan. Members were reminded that in August 2010, a related request to abandon a series of street segments and alleys (Areas #1-7) in the vicinity of the Wesley College Campus was approved by City Council. As part of the work to develop the Record Plat to document the vacation of those streets and alleys, this additional alley, known as the Fulton Street Alley South, was discovered. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the subject right-of-way requested for abandonment consists of a public alley dedicated to the City of Dover. This segment of Fulton Street Alley South is approximately 125.35 feet in length and ten feet in width. However, this alley (Area #8) does not function as an alley that is a path of travel between two connecting streets/alleys. She noted that the alley is part of the current layout of an existing parking lot and is adjacent on both sides to other properties owned by Wesley College. She indicated that the Site Development Master Plan (S-11-13), Wesley College Master Plan for Streetscape Campus Enhancements, shows that this parking lot is proposed to be reconfigured to improve the traffic circulation and layout of the parking lot.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 3 The Planning Commission recommended approval of the alley abandonment for Area #8 - Fulton Street Alley South, as requested by Wesley College. In formulating this recommendation, the Commission considered staff’s support of the alley abandonment request since the specific alley does not function as an alley within the overall street network of the area. In addition, portions of the street and the alley immediately connecting to this alley segment were approved for abandonment by City Council with Resolution #2010-07. The area is to be incorporated into an improved parking lot area associated with the site improvements to create a pedestrian-oriented campus for Wesley College. To the extent that long-term abandonment of the subject alley will help accomplish this objective, staff recommended approval of the request. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of the request for abandonment of a segment of the Fulton Street Alley South located on the east side of North Bradford Street, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried. (City Clerk’s Note: In accordance with the City’s Procedure for Alley Abandonments, Resolution No. 2012-03 setting the Public Hearing (Attachment #2) will be presented to Council for consideration for adoption.) Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Members were provided a Project Tracking Report, as of January 31, 2012, for the Utility (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Update - National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit With regard to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the City has submitted a report to the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and that, to date, no response has been received. He noted that the report was submitted in December and that a response from DNREC is not expected for 60-90 days, which is the typical response time. 30-Day Update - Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff met last week with Mr. Greg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, who is the design engineer for the Garrison Oak Technical Park Project. It is anticipated that the subdivision plats will be signed and recorded in the very near future. He advised members that there have also been discussions with the County Engineer’s Office regarding the sewer layout, which will enhance wastewater service on the east side of the City. As mentioned during previous meetings, Mr. Koenig stated that staff is continuing discussions with Calpine Corporation regarding the proposed construction of the Garrison Energy Center, a new power plant, and that representatives of Calpine are continuing to work with local representatives as well as State legislators on the project. The Calpine Project is scheduled for consideration by the Planning Commission on March 19, 2012.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on March 12, 2012 at 6:02 p.m. with Councilman Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman McGlumphy. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:23 p.m.), Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Lynn (departed at 6:37 p.m.), and Mrs. Williams. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Dr. Jones moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Recommendation of Civilian Pension Board - Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reported that 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. It was noted that although the motion did not specifically include surviving spouses, this was the intent of the maker, and that Mr. Blakeman’s calculation of the increase presented to the Board was $126,335, which included all retirees, not only those retired on or before June 30, 2007. Mrs. Mitchell noted that no funding sources for a COLA have been identified by staff at this time. However, she advised members that Mr. Blakeman had provided the Pension Board with three (3) recommendations for funding the increase, as follows: 1) a one-half cent increase in electric rates; 2) collection of property tax receivables; and 3) use of excess budget balance. Mrs. Mitchell also advised members that staff could not support an automatic cost of living provision. She stated that staff understood the rationale behind the motion; however, she indicated that retirement plans have been moving away from this provision in general, as demonstrated by the City’s other retirement plans. She indicated that all of the State of Delaware Pension Plans with these provisions are now closed. Should Council approve the 4% Cost of Living Adjustment for the Civilian Pension Plan, staff recommended that the City Manager be directed to budget each year for the cost of the COLA as follows: General Fund $52,400, Water/Wastewater Fund $5,300, and Electric Fund $40,800. Mrs. Mitchell explained that these amounts would fund a COLA only for the individuals who retired on or before June 30, 2007, as stated in Mr. Blakeman’s motion. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Mitchell stated that, as indicated in the minutes of the Civilian Pension Board Meeting of February 8, 2012, the motion failed by a roll call vote of four (4) no

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 2 (Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig, and Mrs. Mitchell) and three (3) yes (Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Clendaniel, and Mrs. Hettinger). In response to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Mitchell stated that retirees received a stipend in 2009. She explained that, at that time, $100,000 was allocated to retirees based on age and, as a result, older retirees received higher amounts. Mr. Lynn questioned the cost of providing a one-time COLA to retirees. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell indicated that a one-time 4% COLA for retirees would cost $98,500; however, she explained that if a 4% COLA were added to the base pension for retirees, the City would be required to budget for this additional $98,500 each year. Prior to 2009, the last adjustment provided to retirees was in 2006. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Mitchell stated that in January 2012, the State of Delaware provided a 2% COLA to their retirees and that the last COLA provided by the State was in 2006. As mentioned by Mr. Hare, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the State of Delaware pensioners are not provided with Medicare Part B reimbursement. Mrs. Williams questioned the cost of the retirees’ Medicare Part B reimbursement benefit as compared to the cost of a COLA. Mrs. Mitchell stated that she did not have that information readily available and it would require calculations; however, she offered to provide it to members at a later date. (Clerk’s Office Note: Following the meeting, Mrs. Mitchell advised the City Clerk’s Office that the current cost of Medicare Part B premium reimbursements for all City of Dover retirees is $117,500 annually and the cost of a 4% COLA increase for employees who retired prior to 2007 would be $98,500.) Mr. Blakeman, 209 Falmouth Way, member of the Civilian Pension Board, thanked the Director/Controller and the City Clerk’s Office for their support and assistance. He provided members with several documents (Attachment #1), as follows: A) List of Retirement Payments Being Issued to Members of the Civilian Pension Plan; B) Reasons for Unfunded Liability (Council President Leary advised members that at one point in the 1990s, the pension fund was almost fully funded.); C) City of Dover Finance Department Pay Plan and Benefit Comparisons - Contract Wage Increase (Mr. Blakeman noted that the addition of the far left column reflects Consumer Price Index increases and the far right column reflects Social Security increases); D) General Pension Plan Cost of Living Adjustment History; E) Example of Effects of a 2% COLA for Police and 0% COLA for Civilians, which included an excerpt from the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) as to when these pension plans started and a Statement of Changes in Pension Trust Fund Net Assets (He noted that the average pension for General Fund retirees is $16,371 and that the average pension for Police Fund retirees is $30,336.); F) Electric Revenue - Sample Increases by Year and Costs to Customers; G) Real Estate Transfer for Sample Revenue Increases; and H) An Excerpt from State Law (77 Del. Laws, c. 130, §3, which states the City’s ability to create a pension and includes a paragraph mentioning the City’s authority to institute a property transfer tax. Mr. Blakeman felt that, due to the paragraph being located within the text granting the City the ability to create a pension,

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 3 it would not be inappropriate to utilize general revenue from the property transfer tax to fund the pension plan.) Mr. Blakeman explained that this information was distributed to members to provide them additional facts to consider during their deliberations of this matter. Mr. Shevock noted that there are several residents who could not afford any increase in electric rates, and that there would be many complaints from local realtors if there were an increase in the transfer tax, explaining that attempts are being made to bring businesses to the area and that an increase would be a deterrent. Responding, Mr. Blakeman stated his understanding of such concerns; however, he reminded members that police retirees receive an annual COLA and that civilian retirees questioned why police retirees would be treated differently. Although 75% of the COLA for police retirees is paid by the State, he noted that the City budgets for the remaining 25%. He advised members that there are several retirees who receive a very small pension amount each month and that this problem for them is compounded each year that a COLA is not provided. Mr. Shevock felt that additional information should be provided regarding the City’s deficit prior to making any decision regarding the possibility of a COLA. Mr. Hutchison reiterated that no current police officer will retire under the City’s plan and receive a 2% COLA. Confirming, Mr. Blakeman stated that the City’s Police Pension is a closed plan; however, he noted that current members will continue to receive a 2% COLA each year. He reminded members that employees who retired in 1970 and who have been without a COLA for the past several years have seen their pensions eroded by the cost of living. Noting that the Civilian Pension Board had two (2) parts to their motion, Dr. Jones questioned if members would be receptive to a one-time COLA adjustment. Responding, Mr. Blakeman stated that retirees would be grateful for any action in this regard, explaining that retirees are also affected by the economic times. He reiterated that it was also the desire of the civilian members of the Pension Board to bring to Council’s attention the disparity between the two (2) pension plans. In addition, he reminded members that prior to the last one (1) or two (2) years, active employees have been provided substantial salary increases. Mr. Bonar applauded Mr. Blakeman for his work on this matter and the retirees for their attendance and participation at the Pension Board Meeting; however, he noted the difficult economic times for the City. He felt that approval of an automatic COLA at this time would be irresponsible of City Council. However, he felt that a one-time COLA might be an acceptable solution. Mr. Hutchison felt that Council has the responsibility to review this matter and make decisions. He reminded members that Council would be holding their Annual Retreat on March 26, 2012 and suggested the possibility of further discussion regarding this matter at that time. Mr. Anderson also relayed appreciation to Mr. Blakeman for the research provided and stated that he was “disturbed” that the City had not provided retirees with an increase for several years. Although he stated he could not support a 4% COLA at this time, he felt that once the City has moved through the next fiscal year, Council should take action to address this matter. It was his

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 4 feeling that it was unfair for retirees to bear the brunt of the budgetary shortfall when others were not subjected to it for the past several years. Mrs. Mitchell advised members that the concerns of staff were not in regard to providing a COLA but in regard to ensuring that it is funded. The funding source would be a decision required of Council. Mr. Hare suggested that such a COLA be “tied to” another system, such as the State or Federal governments and that the City should negotiate for the COLA by eliminating Medicare Part B reimbursement. After much discussion, Mr. Bonar suggested that this matter be tabled by the Committee and that staff be requested to add this for Council’s consideration for discussion during the Council Retreat consideration of possible funding to provide a one-time COLA. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend 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. The motion was seconded by Dr. Jones and unanimously carried. Approval of Transfer of Additional Reciprocal Borrowing Funds Members were advised that Kent County collects a special Library Tax from each County property owner who does not reside within a municipality. This tax is used to reimburse the municipal libraries in the County for each item loaned to a County resident who is not a resident of a municipality. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that in 2011, residual library tax was distributed at a rate of $30,000 to each municipal library to be used for capital purposes. The Dover City Council approved transfer of the City’s allotment to the Library Reserve Fund. In 2012, residual tax was disbursed by the Kent County Levy Court at a rate of $15,000 per library. Staff recommended approval of a transfer in the amount of $15,000 from the General Fund (contributed by Kent County residual reciprocal borrowing funds) to the Library Reserve Fund for the capital project. It was noted that this item has been included in the proposed budget amendment scheduled to be considered later in the evening and that if it was not approved, it would be removed from the proposed budget amendment. Dr. Jones moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to transfer $15,000 (residual reciprocal borrowing funds contributed by Kent County) from the General Fund to the Library Reserve Fund, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2012 PAGE 5 Proposed Ordinance #2012-09 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2012 Members reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2012-09 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2012. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the proposed budget amendment included adjustments to the Beginning Budget Balances for the major operating and capital funds now that the City’s audit has been completed. It also included a transfer to the Other Post- Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust toward the unfunded liabilities in the following amounts, as approved by Council action on September 12, 2011: General Fund $239,532; Water/Wastewater Fund $372,417; Electric Fund $573,547. Members were provided details regarding additional adjustments included in the proposed ordinance. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that there was a shortfall of 7.8%; however, there are several vacant positions which will result in more than enough savings to cover the shortfall. She explained that the proposed amendments affect only the operating funds and that no projects will be affected. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend adoption of proposed Ordinance #2012-09 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2012 (Attachment #2), seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Public Comment Period There was no one present wishing to address members. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment, seconded by Dr. Jones and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:40 P.M. William F.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE A Special Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting was held on March 15, 2012, at 10:02 a.m. with Chairwoman Russell presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Horsey, and Mr. Lewis. Mr. Bonar was absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application Review Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, noted that members would be serving as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Review Panel for the CDBG Applications for Fiscal Year 2012. As such, members were provided a list of applicants, a CDBG Interview Schedule, a breakdown of federal resources available for use and the total amount of grant funds requested, CDBG scoring criteria, a 2012 CDBG Review Panel Scoring Sheet for each applicant, and staff reports summarizing each application. She requested that members summarize their evaluation of each application on the CDBG Grant Application Review Sheet and provide a score based on the information presented. Members were advised that the numbers in parenthesis next to each measure indicated the maximum score for a given category and that the maximum total points was 100. Mrs. Harvey advised members that the total amount of grant funds available for activities was $188,286 and explained the allocation requirements of the grant, as follows: CDBG Funds Allocation $226,803 Anticipated Program Income $ 8,554 Total Grant Allocation $235,357 20% of the grant must be allocated for $235,357 Program Administration x.20 $47,071 Grant Funds Available for Activities $188,286 Total Grant Funds Requested by Applicants $248,000 Mrs. Harvey cautioned that, according to CDBG requirements, funds awarded for public service activities could not exceed 15% of the total grant allocation ($35,303). Oral Presentations Each applicant was provided an opportunity to make oral presentations before the committee, as follows: Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing Ms. Jeanine Kleimo, Chair, Board of Directors, Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH), reviewed a grant application in the amount of $27,500. She explained that DIMH is an interfaith community organization which provides shelter, meals, and assistance to homeless men from the

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2012 PAGE 2 greater Dover community. Ms. Kleimo indicated that DIMH’s shelter at 684 Forest Street can accommodate up to 36 lodgers. She stated that the organization sheltered 142 men during 2011 and has sheltered more than 700 over the past four (4) years. Mrs. Kleimo explained that the organization has maintained a success rate of approximately 60% in transitioning men from the shelter into permanent employment and private housing, with an estimated impact of $1.5M on the local economic community (based on the assumption that individuals work full-time and earn only minimum wage) and also provides employees for difficult to fill, entry-level jobs in the community. The organization uses volunteer services whenever possible and has no full-time staff, with the Board of Directors performing most of the day-to-day tasks that paid staff members typically perform in other facilities. DIMH partners with local colleges to obtain interns, provide employment, and alcohol/drug counseling, as well as nursing assistance. Mrs. Kleimo noted that CDBG funds would be used for operational, maintenance, and repair costs for the shelter. She advised members that DIMH hopes to match CDBG funds with funds from the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) and Delaware Grant-in-Aid and that the organization receives significant support from local faith communities, businesses, and private citizens of Dover. Mr. Anderson expressed appreciation for the work performed in the community by DIMH. Mrs. Russell noted the need for similar services for the City’s female population. In response to Mrs. Horsey, Ms. Kleimo stated that the 36-bed shelter has been sustained on a relatively low budget through the generosity of those who volunteer and provide support to the organization and that it would be difficult to expand at the current time. In addition, expansion would be problematic at the current location because the property is leased. Mrs. Kleimo explained that most shelters in the State limit residents to 30 days lodging and the average cost of serving each client is $2,000. In contrast, she noted that DIMH’s clients are allowed to stay for 90 days at an average cost of $675 per resident. Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) Housing Rehabilitation Program Ms. Valerie DeMarco, Development Director, and Mr. Russell Huxtable, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, reviewed a grant application in the amount of $60,000 for the Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) Housing Rehabilitation Program. Mr. Huxtable explained that MHDC is a private, non-profit housing development organization established 35 years ago and that the application was being submitted in regard to the home ownership program. He noted that 140 “sweat equity” homes have been built through MHDC’s self-help housing program in and around Kent and Sussex County and that the organization has been partnering with the City of Dover since 2006. Mr. Huxtable explained that in November 2011, MHDC combined with First State Resource Conservation and Development (RC & D) and acquired this organization’s emergency home repair project and staff. He noted that MHDC had submitted two (2) proposals for CDBG funding, one for housing rehabilitation and one for emergency home repair. Mr. Huxtable stated that the rehabilitation project would serve six (6) to eight (8) homeownership units per year with up to $15,000 of rehabilitation per unit. Since the application was for a multi-year grant, the work would be accomplished over three (3) years, for a total of 18-24 total units. All those served would meet

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2012 PAGE 3 the low-to-moderate income qualifications. Mr. Huxtable explained that MHDC works with City of Dover to identify qualified individuals on the CDBG waiting list. He noted that funding this program would help to preserve the City’s affordable housing stock and allow some of the City’s elderly residents to age in place by keep their homes livable. Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) - Home Repair Project Mr. Fred Traute, Preservation Manager, reviewed a grant application for the Milford Housing Development Corporation’s (MHDC’s) Home Repair Project in the amount of $40,000. He advised members that he previously worked with First State Resource Conservation and Development’s (RC & D’s) Home Repair Project and that partnering with MHDC has allowed the Project to leverage more resources. Members were provided a Memorandum from Mr. Traute dated March 15, 2012, Grant Request for Community Development Block Grant, 2012-2013 (Attachment #1) outlining the details of the request and accomplishments of the program. Mr. Traute explained that the repairs performed under this program typically cost a few thousand dollars and initially address emergency repair needs, such as lack of heat, rather than long-term rehabilitation. The goal of the program is to take care of immediate hazards in the home, followed by a site visit to determine if there are other needs present. He noted that 58 homes in the City of Dover have been served through the use of CDBG funds for this purpose over the past six (6) years. The organization partners with the Senior Employment Program through the First State Community Action Agency in Sussex County and through the Modern Maturity Center in Kent County. Through this program, a staff construction supervisor leads two (2) or three (3) senior employees who receive job training and provide labor at no cost. In response to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Traute explained that previously expenditures on each home were limited to $2,500; however, with the increased costs of performing heat or electrical work, this figure was increased to $7,500. Mr. Huxtable provided members a Success Profile that featured the account of Mary B. Ashley (Attachment #2), an 82-year-old client who was living in substandard housing and was successfully placed in a new two (2) bedroom home. He emphasized that clients are evaluated to determine which of the organization’s programs will help them meet their goals of decent, safe, and affordable housing, which is the goal and mission of MHDC. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Traute explained that the estimate of 45 units to be repaired through the use of CDBG funds referred to independent repairs rather than the number of individual clients, since homes often require more than one repair. He noted that he requires all contractors to complete work to his satisfaction. Responding to Mrs. Horsey, Mr. Huxtable stated that the organization receives funds from some sources that are specifically allocated for a particular geographic or population demographic. He emphasized that any home repair funds received from the City of Dover would be expended within City limits.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2012 PAGE 4 For clarification, Mrs. DeMarco explained that MHDC was founded in 1977 in Milford by residents who saw the need for affordable housing. Since that time, the organization has expanded State-wide and into Maryland. She noted that MHDC staff have had internal discussions regarding the possibility of changing the name of the organization because the title of Milford Housing Development Corporation is misleading. National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) Mr. Joe Myer, Executive Director, and Ms. Denise Freeman, Pre-Purchase Housing Counselor and Housing Counseling Director, National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL), reviewed a grant application in the amount of $12,500. Mr. Myer advised members that NCALL has been addressing affordable housing in the area since 1976. He explained that NCALL provides homeownership counseling, foreclosure prevention, and financial literacy; has been approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); has been recognized by HUD for its performance; and has attained high rankings nationally as an affordable housing and community development organization. He noted that CDBG funds were being sought for home ownership and foreclosure prevention programs and that NCALL has previously partnered with the City of Dover in the First State Program, which provides down payment and settlement help. Mr. Myer advised members that, over the past year, NCALL assisted 215 first-time homebuyers in closing on their first homes and prevented 206 foreclosures in Delaware. He noted that $12,500 in grant funds were being requested in 2012, $7,500 for homeownership counseling and $5,000 for foreclosure prevention, with the same amounts being projected for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014. Members were provided with an NCALL Dover CDBG Application Summary (Attachment #3) for their review. Mr. Myer estimated that 40 households in the City would benefit from the program, resulting in a potential impact of $6,000,000 in new mortgages leveraged and mortgages saved. He noted that it was estimated that 25 of the 40 households served would be in the low-to-moderate income bracket. In response to Mrs. Horsey, Mr. Myer explained that median incomes in Kent and Sussex Counties are 25% lower than New Castle; however, the cost of home construction is the same or more, so clients in these areas are disadvantaged in terms of meeting income guidelines. He indicated that the internal goal of the agency is to serve lower income households and solicit tools, such as the First Start Program, that help NCALL to bridge that gap. Mr. Myer noted that HUD guidelines dictate that anyone requesting foreclosure prevention assistance must be served regardless of income. He assured members that the estimate provided for low-to-moderate income households served was conservative and that NCALL would have no difficulty meeting program goals in this regard. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Myer stated that NCALL was a CDBG subgrant recipient previously, but not in recent years. NCALL is currently a Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) partner, which involves working with the CDBG, although NCALL does not receive grant funds. He stated that the multi-year approach that the City is currently utilizing for CDBG funding attracted NCALL to apply this year because housing programs tend to require an extended period of time.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2012 PAGE 5 Serenity Place Mr. William Boyles, Executive Director, and Mrs. Lisa Boyles, Member of the Board of Directors and volunteer staff member, Serenity Place, presented a grant application in the amount of $30,000. Mr. Boyles explained that Serenity Place is a State-licensed treatment facility for adult males with substance abuse problems who are homeless and unemployed. He noted that the program has been in existence for 21 years and has served more than 1,000 men. All residents are required to make at least a three (3) month commitment to the program; however, many stay an average of nine (9) months. Residents are provided licensed treatment, including individual and group counseling. They are required to seek employment and pay approximately $100 for room and board once they are employed. Residents share responsibilities for maintaining the facility, meal preparation, and performing chores. Mr. Boyles advised members that in June 2011, a fire occurred at Serenity Place, resulting in the loss of the main building. A small building next door survived and has been made into an administration office where counseling, meetings, and administration take place. A new building is planned which will double the capacity of the facility from 10 to 20, and a capital campaign drive has begun to raise funds. Mr. Boyles explained that insurance proceeds for damage to the building were approximately $300,000 and the full project cost will be approximately $600,000. Approximately $60,000 of the additional funds needed have been raised to date. Mr. Boyles noted that Serenity Place provides an invaluable service to the community by providing treatment to homeless and unemployed individuals, many from criminal backgrounds, thus making the community a safer place. He indicated that many of those who complete the program stay in the Dover area, occupy low-wage jobs, pursue their education or start businesses, and are successful in terms of staying clean and sober and becoming productive members of society. In response to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Boyles noted that Serenity Place is well established and is well known throughout the State by community organizations that serve this segment of the population. He stated that clients pay $100 per week, which covers room and board. Their stay at Serenity Place is subsidized and they are encouraged to save the remainder of their earnings for future needs. Mr. Boyles advised members that the program is highly structured and there is a 10:00 p.m. curfew Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 p.m. on weekends. Responding to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Boyles stated that the organization has continued to serve its clients following the fire. Clients are being housed in a building on State Street on an interim basis and services, including counseling, are being provided out of the office at 327 Martin Street. He indicated that the program would continue with or without CDBG funds. He noted that the organization is seeking additional contributions through grant funds and community organizations. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Boyles stated that the request was for a one-time grant for a capital contribution to the rebuilding project. Agreeing with Mr. Anderson, he stated that there was a tremendous need for a similar facility for women and that Serenity Place would like to address this in the future.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2012 PAGE 6 Responding to Mrs. Russell, Mr. Boyles stated that Serenity Place is not technically a religious-based organization; however, men are strongly encouraged to pursue spiritual growth and the program utilizes the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps of recovery utilized by Alcoholics Anonymous. Mrs. Boyles stated that the organization is not affiliated with any one church and the men come from all spiritual walks. In response to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Boyles stated that the organization is working with the City of Dover Planning Department to coordinate the details of the building project and hopes to break ground this summer. In response to Mrs. Harvey, Mr. Boyles assured members that the project would proceed even if not all of the requested funding was received and that any CDBG funds awarded would be utilized. He noted that the project’s capital campaign would remain open indefinitely and the organization would secure bank financing if needed. Elizabeth W. Murphey School, Inc. Mr. Michael Kopp, Executive Director, Elizabeth W. Murphey School, Inc., reviewed a grant application in the amount of $38,000. He advised members that the Murphey School is a group home that serves neglected and abused homeless children. Mr. Kopp explained that the organization is seeking to reduce utility costs in order to remain solvent and continue serving the children of the State. All referrals are made from the State of Delaware Children’s Department, Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services. Children are cared for until they can return to their homes, are placed in a suitable foster home, or age out of care. Mr. Kopp stated that children typically remain and age out of care. He advised members that the Murphey School has opened an additional building for 16-17 year-olds who are learning independent living skills. He indicated that CDBG funds would be used to convert the building’s heating system from a steam boiler to geothermal heating and air conditioning and to replace old steam pipes within the walls. The school has experienced a dramatic decrease in utility costs as a result of utilizing this type of energy system for their other buildings and would like to do the same for the building that was recently opened. Mr. Kopp stated that the building will house four (4) individuals and the downstairs area will be used as a teaching area for cooking and homemaking skills. Mr. Kopp noted that, although an endowment was left by Mr. Murphey for the school in 1922, it contains specific instructions regarding the amount of funds that the school receives per year and the amount is proportional to income earned. As a result, the organization is struggling and staff is anxious to complete the project as soon as possible to realize utility savings. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that if all of the requested CDBG funding were not granted this year, the geothermal well system would be installed at this time and the interior wall work would be postponed until subsequent years. Mr. Kopp reminded members that the children in long-term care at the Murphey School are legally considered to be homeless.

SPECIAL PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2012 PAGE 7 City of Dover Homeownership Assistance Program Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager, reviewed a grant application in the amount of $40,000 for the City of Dover Homeownership Assistance Program. She indicated that this program provides first-time homebuyers assistance with down payment or closing costs, allowing them to purchase affordable housing in the City of Dover. Mrs. Harvey advised members that there is a high demand for this program and that CDBG funds would be used to provide up to $10,000 to each of four (4) first-time homebuyers to assist in the purchase of properties in the City. She noted that all purchasers must complete a homeownership counseling session with the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research, Inc. (NCALL) before signing a sales contract. Mrs. Harvey stated that 2011 has been an exceptional year for the program, with seven (7) first-time homebuyers closing on properties and an eighth closing planned before the end of the year. She explained that housing is more affordable now because the depressed economy has created a buyer’s market, which has resulted in increased opportunities for first-time homebuyers. Mrs. Harvey indicated that there is a definite need for the program and that she receives frequent inquiries about the program. Review/Scoring of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Applications Members reviewed and discussed the various CDBG grant applications to develop a score for each applicant. After a period of discussion, members conducted a review of each grant application and provided individual scores on the CDBG Grant Application Scoring Sheet for applicants (as on file in the Office of the City Clerk) and staff tallied the scoring sheets. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the funding of public service projects would be limited to $35,303 (15% of the total grant allocation). Mrs. Russell stated that, due to her position on the Board of Directors of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, she would not participate in the scoring or ranking of public service applications. Mr. Lewis moved that the full amount of CDBG funds permitted for public service activities ($35,303) be dedicated for this purpose, seconded by Mrs. Horsey and unanimously carried. Mrs. Horsey moved to recommend that $27,500 of the City’s CDBG grant allocation for public service activities be distributed to the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing and $7,803 be awarded to the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL). The motion passed by a vote of two (2) yes, and one (1) no (Mr. Lewis; Mrs. Russell abstained). Members then scored the CDBG applications for non-public service programs. Based on the scoring of the grant applications by the Committee, Mr. Lewis moved to recommend approval of the distribution of the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies for non-public service programs as follows:

SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE A Special Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on March 27, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 5:39 p.m.), Mr. Hare, Dr. Jones (arrived at 5:02 p.m.), and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mrs. Russell, Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Lynn, and Council President Leary. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hare moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Consideration of Re-titling and Re-grading - City Clerk and Assistant City Clerk Positions Members considered a request for the retitling and regrading of positions within the City Clerk’s Office. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reviewed information that supported the retitle/regrade of the Assistant City Clerk to a pay grade of 124 at a salary of $58,571 (current salary $40,452), with the title Deputy Director of Council Affairs and Constituent Services and the retitle/regrade of the City Clerk’s position to a pay grade of 133 at a salary of $90,864 (current salary $66,459.92), with the title of Director of Council Affairs and Constituent Services. She assured members that funds were available in the FY12 Budget to implement the requested regrades on May 13, 2012 at the proposed rates. Chairman McGlumphy noted that several individuals had requested the opportunity to speak on this subject; therefore, he suggested that public testimony be heard prior to the Committee’s deliberations. Mr. Bob Hartman, 35 Lotus Street, questioned the reasons for the submission of the proposal and the City’s process in bringing this matter before the Committee. He assured members that it was not his intention to criticize any employee currently serving in these positions, explaining that he felt that the City Clerk and Assistant City Clerk are outstanding employees who work very hard. However, with budget shortfalls threatening the City year after year and the City’s financial obligations increasing, Mr. Hartman questioned how management could consider submitting a proposal that would increase annual salaries for any employee by such an “embarrassing” amount. He reminded members that ultimately it would be City taxpayers and fee payers who pay the City’s bills, including salaries. He stated that the proposed salary increases were outrageous and urged members to deny the request. Mr. Hartman felt that such proposals should be brought forth for consideration across the organization and that individual requests should not be considered. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development and resident at 52 Washington Street, stated that she was hesitant to address members regarding this matter; however, as a staff member who works very closely with the City Clerk’s Office, she felt called upon to speak. Mrs. Townshend read the following statement into the record: “I don't believe I need to sell you on the value of the City Clerk's Office, because you probably know their value better than anyone. Of the City departments and staff, I probably have more interaction and work more closely with the City Clerk's Office

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 2 than anyone in the City. This is why I feel compelled to share my support for their staffing requests. I want to summarize this support into three areas: Expertise, Retention, and Succession. The City Clerk and her staff are the City's experts on many of the legal requirements and processes within which the City works. This is not to equate them to our legal staff, but they are knowledgeable about the City Code, the City Charter, and the State statutes that affect municipalities. The Clerk is knowledgeable on parliamentary procedure, open meeting requirements, FOIA, record retention, elections, and many other things that are important to the competent management of the City. To summarize, they keep us out of trouble. There are many questions that come up during the course of business, where the best answer we can give in our department is, "Ask the Clerk's Office." They ensure that legal notice requirements are met for code amendments, that matters are referred to the proper committee, and that department staff follow up on requests by Council and Council committees. The amount of training and experience required to ensure that the City Clerk is able to provide the level of expertise expected is overwhelming to think about. That brings me to my second point, retention. The City Clerk's Office is responsive to the needs of constituents and Council alike. They make sure that the little things don't fall through the cracks. They make sure that packets are prepared in time for delivery, which frequently includes reminders to departments of items they need to submit. They are responsible for ordinance preparation and review of ordinances prepared by department staff. The workload and the demands on the Clerk's Office are a lot, and everything has firm deadlines and legal implications. The staff is committed, so is often here late hours, even when there isn't a meeting, simply because the work needs to get done. This high-stress situation causes burnout, which has made it difficult for the Clerk's Office to retain staff. In order to avoid burnout, adequate staffing and fair compensation are necessary. And finally, succession. I hate to think about this, but Traci is eligible for retirement. While I think we all know her commitment to the City, the reality is that she won't be here forever. In order to ensure that there is viable succession when Traci ultimately decides to retire, a job description and title with the appropriate level of compensation is necessary. Adequate staffing to reduce burnout and staff turnover is important to the long-term success of the City.” Mrs. Jody Stein, 522 Woodsedge Road, read the following statement into the record: “My name is Jody Stein and I have been employed in the Clerk's Office for the past 3½ years. I just wanted to give you an idea of what it is like to work in the Clerk's Office. The Clerk's Office has the potential to be the greatest place in the world to work. You couldn't ask for a more dedicated, hardworking or supportive supervisor or co-workers. The work is interesting, varied, and the days just fly. You deal with

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 3 a huge variety of people: senators; council representatives, staff from every department, and of course the public, ranging from irate individuals who just want someone to vent to, to the thankful group that brought me fresh daffodils for performing a minor service this week. I know that Council and Committee members are familiar with the meeting process but often do not see the work that precedes and follows actions and the different factors involved: 1) Preparing for and following up on Council's decisions involves a large number of detailed procedures. We have worked hard to develop written guidelines for some of the processes. [She displayed examples of Alley Abandonment and Elections Procedures and a meeting packet.] We have not had the time to document others and must rely heavily on staff experience. You are familiar with our meeting packets, but may not be aware of the “blood, sweat, and tears” that goes into them. 2) While performing work, there is a constant stream of interruptions, including telephone calls, office visitors, and email. 3) All work is driven by the cyclical preparation and follow up on Council, Committee, and Board meetings, which dominates everything that happens in the Clerk's Office. These are deadlines that must be met while performing the regular duties (FOIA, records, Council's calendar, etc.) and special projects, such as Charter changes that wreak havoc with priorities. 4) There is a huge variety of technology, including Wordperfect, Word, Excel, Quattropro, Adobe, Access, Fortis, and website posting. It takes time to learn these programs, and technology is constantly changing, so additional learning is required. Staff must become and remain well versed in these programs. Training is on the fly and much of the learning is accomplished through making mistakes. I recently submitted my resignation. You may be wondering why I would want to leave a job that I enjoy so much. The problem with working in the Clerk's Office is that the volume of work exceeds what can be done in a 40 hour week. No tasks are optional and many have legal consequences, so we are constantly having to make the choice about which responsibilities will be neglected, and sooner or later that catches up with you. There are frequent regular night meetings and many unscheduled ones that crop up, so it is difficult to plan your home life. Numerous hours of comp time are accumulated and remain unused (particularly with the new policy that limits accumulation to 80 hours). Everything that we do is very detailed and there are constant interruptions; it is very difficult to concentrate on the task at hand. You

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 4 constantly worry about what you are forgetting. After a time, the pressure gets to you. You feel that if only you could work smarter or faster you should be able to keep up with it. During my 3½ years in the Clerk's Office, I saw two very capable and dedicated co-workers leave to accept other positions, in one case for a higher salary, and in another for similar pay for a job that involves very little pressure and no extra hours. I also witnessed my supervisor working countless hours; providing invaluable procedural and legal advice to Council members, staff, and the public; guiding the City through the development and passage of ordinances and Charter amendments; and preventing significant losses to the City through the wealth of experience she has accumulated, while being compensated at a lower rate than nearly every other department head in the City. When our staff was cut from four to three, I concluded that my work situation was no longer sustainable. I was fortunate enough to be offered a position with the State. The training and experience that I have accumulated over the last three years with the City of Dover has highly qualified me for position with the Delaware Public Archives that will require me to work 37.5 hours per week at a salary that (within one year) will be comparable to my present salary. I urge members to give careful consideration to allowing for the staffing needs of the City Clerk's Office.” Mr. Lynn relayed appreciation for the service Mrs. Stein provided to the City. Mr. Hare noted that, as a neighbor, he spoke with Mrs. Stein regarding her leaving the City’s employment and realized that there is a quality of life issue working in the City Clerk’s Office. Responding, Mrs. Stein stated that there were two (2) considerations: 1) equitable compensation for the amount of work involved, noting that paid salaries amounted to lower hourly rates due to extra hours worked, and 2) stress due to the reduced staffing in the office that cannot be compensated for. Dr. McGlumphy also relayed appreciation for the service provided and wished her well in her future endeavors. Mr. Eugene Ruane, 122 Shadow Court (previously served as a member of Council), stated that the issue is not strictly monetary but also recognition for what the positions are and what they do, and that one way to do this is with money. He reminded members that there has been discussion regarding the upgrading of these positions for a minimum of 10 years and he appreciated that the proposal was finally presented for consideration. He advised members that the Dover City Clerk’s Office is considered the number one clerk’s office in the State of Delaware. He stated that the current and former City Clerks for the City of Dover have had a reputation for being model City Clerks in the State of Delaware, and he felt that they should be recognized as such. During the 10 years he served as a member of Council, Mr. Ruane stated that there were innumerable times

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 5 when a new issue would be presented (such as double taxation) whereby the City Clerk would be required to gather information, conduct research, develop presentations, etc. He noted that the City Clerk’s Office serves nine (9) members of Council, all of whom utilize the office for providing information or performing requested work. He explained that the employees of the office are required to have a variety of experience and understanding, as well as a willingness to stick to tasks. In addition, he explained the importance of the confidentiality required of the Office and that a price cannot be put on respecting the Code of Ethics as has been done by the employees of the City Clerk’s Office. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, relayed appreciation for the supporting comments and understanding of the concerns stated by Mr. Hartman. She explained that the matter was being presented at this time due to the upcoming budget review process. Mrs. McDowell advised members that each year, prior to the preparation of the budget, the City Manager asks department heads if there are any position regrades and/or retitlings that should be considered. She advised members that this information was prepared last year; however, due to the economy, she decided not to submit the request. Prior to September 2011, she stated that the City Clerk’s Office had a full complement of staff, which consisted of four (4) employees. In September 2011, one employee left to work with the Delaware Public Archives and, since the City was in a hiring freeze and she wished to be a “team player,” that position has remained vacant. She stated that the amount of work required in the City Clerk’s Office is a lot for four (4) employees and too much for the three (3) that have continued to serve, which is why the request was submitted (see next agenda item). Mrs. McDowell advised member that there was a crisis looming in the Clerk’s Office. She noted that the revised job descriptions detail the unique nature of the work and the stresses associated with the office. Mrs. McDowell stated that the only way the work can be accomplished is by having a dedicated and experienced staff to protect the City’s interests and that longevity of staff is very important. She indicated that employee retention has been an ongoing program in the Clerk’s Office due to the workload and stress. Mrs. McDowell noted that she began working in the Clerk’s Office in 1998 and made a promise at that time to ultimately assume the City Clerk position, although that was not her desire due to the workload and stress involved. She explained that it was her goal to put a full staff in place prior to retiring; however, the recent loss of one staff member in September 2011 and the resignation of Mrs. Stein were presenting challenges to this goal. Mrs. McDowell stated that she did not wish to minimize the contributions of other City employees, noting that the City has a “great team of hardworking, dedicated people.” However, she advised members that she felt it was inequitable that identical job descriptions and qualifications are applied to all Administrative Assistant positions in the City and that this position in the Clerk’s Office is the lowest paid of all the Administrative Assistants, in spite of the long hours and stressful conditions involved. Mrs. McDowell noted that some of the employees who have transitioned out of the Clerk’s Office have made lateral moves to reduce the pressure; others have been promoted within the City to jobs that may not be quite as stressful or require the number of hours. She advised members that 14 individuals have transitioned through the Clerk’s office since 1994.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 6 Mr. Lynn explained his concerns regarding the potential for litigation issues. He advised members that, although he has been to law school and performs legal research, he has had to call on the City Clerk on several occasions regarding legal issues and he received accurate information from her. He felt it was extremely important for the City to have staff with this type of knowledge. In addition, Mr. Lynn relayed concerns regarding the succession planning issue and requested a commitment from the City Clerk to remain with the City beyond the eligible date of retirement. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that her plan is not to retire, explaining that she could not leave until the City and, more particularly, the City Clerk’s Office, is in much better condition. Council President Leary advised members of a recent incident whereby a City board attempted to move a published meeting to an alternate location, which would have been a violation of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). He explained that, due to the knowledge and response of the City Clerk, the meeting location remained as published and the FOIA violation was avoided. It was his opinion that the vacant positions in the City Clerk’s Office should be filled and he felt that no organization could be expected to continue with such a lack of manpower. Mr. Hare indicated that he was aware of the City Clerk working on weekends on several occasions and was advised that, due to the numerous interruptions through the week, she could accomplish much more when the office is closed. He noted that, following a recent surgery, Mrs. Stein brought work to his home after work hours. Mr. Hare stated that members of Council, as well as the City, could not function without the City Clerk’s Office. It was his opinion that it was time to take action and approve the retitling and regrading of the positions within the City Clerk’s Office. Mrs. Russell stated her support of the request and commended Mrs. McDowell and her staff for their dedication and professionalism. Referring to comments made by Mr. Hartman, Mr. Lynn stated that the increase in salaries would be justified if members applied a cost-benefit analysis, explaining that the increase in salaries is a small sum of money compared to the legal fees and court costs that would be engendered if the City did not have the experience that is currently in the City Clerk’s Office. Not providing proper notices, violations of FOIA, etc., all have financial consequences, both in terms of hiring legal staff and potential damages. He felt that the requested salary increases was a meager sum of money to avoid such legal issues. Mr. Lynn advised members that Mrs. McDowell has demonstrated the ability to assist the City in avoiding those types of problems. As a result, he urged members to approve the retitling and regrading of the City Clerk and Assistant City Clerk and also approve the hiring of the two (2) vacant positions (see next agenda item). Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. McDowell confirmed that City Charter authorizes the position of City Clerk and that it has been her observation that some municipalities use the title “City Clerk” along with a different title. Dr. Jones relayed appreciation to the employees of the City Clerk’s Office for their efficiency and professionalism. Responding to the question regarding the crisis situation facing the Clerk’s Office, Mrs. McDowell stated that the crisis was created both by the need to retitle and regrade the positions and the need to fill the vacant positions. She indicated that extremely qualified, compatible

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 7 individuals can be hired to fill the vacant Administrative Assistant positions; however, if there is no differentiation in compensation, frustration results. She stated her feeling that these positions in the City Clerk’s Office are not properly titled, explaining that any member of Council, staff, or the public can call the office with a question regarding the Dover Code, Delaware Law, etc., and any employee of the office can respond; they do not have to depend upon the City Clerk. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. McDowell stated that the most recent pay raises provided to the employees of the City Clerk’s Office was in July 2010 and that the percentage was consistent with what was provided to all non-bargaining employees. Mr. Hutchison relayed his appreciation for the work provided by the City Clerk’s Office. Having almost 40 years of experience working with the office, he indicated an understanding of the value of the Clerk’s Office. He felt that no other department in the City is regularly required to “change gears” several times during the course of a day. Mr. Anderson noted that the City Clerk’s Office has experienced evolution, explaining that it once served as a clerical office and now serves as a complex, administrative office, handling a host of specialized functions; however, the salaries have not changed to reflect the change in responsibilities. It was his feeling that the City Clerk’s Office employees have been underpaid for several years and he relayed support for the request, with the possibility of phasing in the changes over the next couple of years. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the retitling and regrading of the City Clerk and Assistant City Clerk positions, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Shevock and carried by a roll call vote of four (4) yes and one (1) no (Dr. McGlumphy). Dr. McGlumphy explained his opposition to the request was due to it being excessive and his belief that the Pay for Performance evaluation process is severely flawed. He noted that the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee would present its findings in the near future regarding this issue. Although he supported filling the vacant positions, he stated that the retitling and regrading would cause other departments to submit similar requests. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Koenig stated that when the Management Advisory Group (MAG) study was conducted, a desk audit approach was not taken; however, it has been mentioned by several members of Council in the past. He stated that concerns regarding inequities are raging and will continue. He agreed that the City should conduct desk audits. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Hare advised members that he has performed many desk audits and explained that it is not necessary for an outside firm to perform the work and that it could be accomplished internally. Review and Recommendation - Filling 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

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 8 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. Administrative Assistants (2) - City Clerk’s Office (This Request Includes Re-titling and Re-grading of the Positions) Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reviewed a request to fill two (2) vacant Administrative Assistant positions within the City Clerk’s Office. She reviewed documentation provided to members which outlined the request to re-title, re-grade, and fill two (2) vacant or soon to be vacant positions within the department and to hire one (1) temporary, full-time position to assist the department until the vacant positions are filled. Due to department vacancies in the current fiscal year, she assured members that funds were available to hire the requested positions at the proposed rate. In addition, she stated that the FY 2013 budget should be able to accommodate the level of staffing as a result of vacancies throughout the organization. With regard to the request to hire a temporary employee, Mrs. McDowell advised members that there is a retiree who would be interested and has served in the office during previous occasions on a temporary basis; therefore, due to her familiarity with the City’s departments and functions of the office, it would not be necessary to train or familiarize this individual. Mrs. McDowell explained that the positions being requested were critical to the function of the City Clerk’s Office and must be filled. The estimated FY 2012 budget impact of the upgrades would $17,142.67, which she stated was available in the City Clerk’s Office budget. She indicated that the recommendation was being made to address the Clerk’s Office employee retention issue and her belief that the requested re-titling, re-grading, and recruitment was in the best interests of the department and the City of Dover. Staff requested approval to fill the two (2) Administrative Assistant positions to include the re-titling to “Assistant to the Director of Council Affairs and Constituent Services” and re-grading from 112 to 118, and the hiring of a temporary Administrative Assistant at a pay grade of 112. In response to Dr. Jones, Mrs. McDowell stated that the temporary position would serve until the two (2) permanent employees were hired. Dr. Jones suggested that in-house candidates be considered for filling the vacancies. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that due to current employees’ knowledge of the work required in the office, rarely are there in-house applicants; however, she assured members that consideration would be given to any current employee who applies for a position in the office. Mr. Anderson encouraged the City Clerk to consider the lack of diversity that exists in City employment.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 9 Mr. Shevock moved to recommend approval of the request to fill the two (2) Administrative Assistant positions, with the re-titling and re-grading of the positions, and the hiring of a temporary Administrative Assistant, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a roll call vote of four (4) yes and one (1) no (Dr. McGlumphy). Dr. McGlumphy explained his opposition was not to filling the critical positions but rather the retitling and re-grading of the positions due to his belief that the Pay for Performance (PFP) evaluation process is severely flawed. Mr. Hare relayed his concurrence with Dr. McGlumphy with regard to the job descriptions for the City and the PFP; however, he explained that his support for the request was based on the amount of work, time, expertise, etc., that is required of the positions in the City Clerk’s Office. Mr. Anderson agreed that the current system, although a good concept, was fatally flawed and broken. Payroll Specialist - Finance Department Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a request to fill a Payroll Specialist position within the Finance Department. She explained that the department has struggled to maintain focus on deadlines and matters that impact the financial well-being of the City during the past fiscal year. The vacancy is the result of the extended military deployment of Mr. Turhan Jordan. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the vacancy has resulted in certain staff members working as many as 10 to 12-hour days and weekends and that several employees are experiencing health and family issues. She reminded members that the vacancy resulted in a request for two (2) extensions for the City’s annual audit. She noted that the total cost of the position for annual wages and benefits is estimated at $60,571. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Mitchell stated that Mr. Jordan has not been able to provide an estimated date of return and that his absence has exceeded the extended military deployment timeframe. She assured members that the Human Resources Director and City Manager are aware of the military leave procedure and that, upon his return, the City would be required to offer Mr. Jordan a comparable position within the organization. Council President Leary noted that the employees in the Finance Department have also been required to put in extra hours, including weekends, to get the job done and that there are critical financial issues involved. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Mitchell stated that there was no change in the pay grade for the Payroll Special position; however, she included a revised job description to include experience in the ADP system. In addition, she stated that qualifications for the position previously included only preference for Associate’s degree and that the revised job description now requires the individual to have accounting knowledge.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 10 Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the request to fill the position of Payroll Specialist in the Finance Department, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Inspector I - Planning and Community Development Mrs. Ann Marie Townsend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the request to fill an Inspector I position in the Code Enforcement Division of the Planning and Community Development Department. She explained that the vacancy is the result of the recent resignation of Mr. Ed Graves. Mrs. Townshend stated that leaving the position vacant would hamper the City’s ability to move forward to resolve problem property cases, follow up on vacant buildings, proceed with the demolition of dangerous buildings, and provide support to other City divisions and departments in offering services to maintain and improve the quality of life in Dover. This would also make it harder to respond to citizen complaints in a timely manner and resolve the violations that are generating complaints. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the request to fill the position of Inspector I in the Code Enforcement Division of the Planning and Community Development Department, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and carried by a roll call vote of four (4) yes and one (1) no (Mr. Anderson). Library Clerk I (4) - Dover Public Library Members were provided a request for permission to recruit for four (4) part-time Library Clerk I positions. Dr. McGlumphy noted the receipt of correspondence, as follows: 1) Bob and Beverly Bresnahan; 2) Judi Leaming; and 3) N.C. Vasuki (Attachment #1). Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the request of Ms. Margie Cyr, Library Director, to hire four (4) permanent, part-time Library Clerk I positions, designated at 18 hours per week, for the Dover Public Library. He explained that the request was the result of a need at the current Library that has been present since the beginning of the budget year. Members were advised that in December 2011, due to staffing levels, operating hours were reduced from 68 hours per week to 63 hours per week. Since then, there has continued to be a reduction in staffing levels at the Dover Public Library. Mr. Koenig stated that staff recently received another resignation from a part-time employee, which created the Library’s eighth vacancy. As a result, he submitted a recommendation, via a memo to City Council, to further reduce the scheduled hours of the Library from 63 hours to 59 hours per week and close the facility on Sundays. Subsequently, Mr. Lynn contacted him and inquired if an alternative action could be taken. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated his intention to discuss the Library vacancies at the Council Retreat, which occurred on March 26, 2012. He stated that his intent is to submit a request to Council to fill those vacant positions that are in the budget for the Library before the opening of the new building. Mr. Koenig stated that in next year’s budget, it was anticipated that the library staff would expand to include a part-time librarian and a custodial position. During the Budget presentation at the Council Retreat, this request was not submitted. Instead, Mr. Koenig recommended opening the new Library with the existing staff complement authorized in the budget and then analyzing the Library’s ability to deliver service.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 11 Mr. Koenig explained his long-range plan to expand the hours of the existing temporary employees to cover system operations for the new Library and then conduct a service audit to determine if those positions that were originally identified for future budgets were necessary to maintain a high level of service at the Library. He stated that the short-range plan is to hire four (4) Library I positions, maintain the reduced schedule at the Library, and have staff focus on the closing of the old Library and the opening of the new Library, which is scheduled for September 2012. Mr. Koenig noted that the four (4) Library I positions would earn an hourly was of $12.65, which equates to approximately $228 per week, per person. He felt that this was a minimal expense to maintain the current level of service and prepare for moving into a new facility. Referring to the previous request for filling the Inspection I position in the Planning and Community Development Department, Mr. Anderson explained his opposing vote was not due to his opposition to fulfilling the request but rather due to the requirement to consider filling positions that are critical to the safety, financial well-being, or legal liability of the City. He questioned how this request fell into the required criteria for approval of such requests. Responding, Mr. Koenig indicated that the request was being submitted in an effort to maintain the current level of public service. However, he reminded members that the new library has a $10M commitment from the State for financing; therefore, it was his opinion that the City has a commitment to adequately staff the new facility. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig explained that the request for the four (4) Library I positions was the “first wave,” referred to as Tier I during the City Council Retreat, and that the Tier II request will include several utility-related positions he intends to present to the Committee during their second meeting in April. He stated that there may be a change in the pay rate of Page positions, which represents three (3) of the four (4) additional openings. The remaining positions are slated as a Tier III request and will be presented for consideration in late May/early June in order to have staff in place prior to the opening of the new Library. He stated that if he knew that the hiring freeze would be lifted effective July 1, 2012, it would not be necessary to submit these requests for consideration. At the request of Mr. Lynn regarding the plan to fill the remaining vacancies, Mr. Koenig stated that one of the positions was related to custodial services. Rather than filling a new position, it was planned to utilize existing custodial employees to accommodate the new Library as well as the City Hall complex. Mr. Koenig advised members of concerns relayed by the Governor’s Office regarding recent newspaper articles that mentioned the reduction of hours of operation at the existing Library and their expectation that the new Library would open at a service level that is respectful of the current level of service and mindful of new services that will be offered at the new Library. In regard to the actual level of staff that will be required at the new Library, Mr. Koenig stated the need to evaluate how that building will actually be funded before determining definitively whether another librarian or additional part-time employees are necessary, if the hours of part-time staff should be expanded, etc. He stated that a facility audit will be conducted to determine ifservice is being met at a level that Council and the patrons expect.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 12 Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of the request to fill the four (4) Library Clerk I positions for the Dover Public Library, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator Responsibilities Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the lack of an Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) was recently discussed at the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting. He provided members with a history of the EMC, noting that over the past ten (10) years, the duties of EMC have been executed by various positions and departments throughout City government. These departments include 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, including requiring and tracking National Incident Management System (NIMS) training and having a NIMS compliant Emergency Management Plan. These complexities caused a need for a full-time Emergency Management Coordinator. The City’s first EMC, Mr. Wayne Hutchison, was promoted from an Inspector position in the Fire Marshall’s Office on June 2, 2008, and he retired on December 23, 2010. His final salary and benefit load was roughly $75,566 ($53,216 + $22,350). Mr. Hutchison performed an admirable job and completely rewrote the City’s Emergency Management Plan, created an emergency call center, developed notification protocols, equipped an EMC trailer, and applied for Homeland Security grants. In addition, Mr. Hutchison was assigned safety-related duties such as the routine inspection of Silver Lake Dam and providing safety training for various City employees. Due to the economic environment at the time of Mr. Hutchison’s announced retirement, staff elected to not fill the position at that time. 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 advised members that Ms. Kay Dietz-Sass, who currently serves as the City’s Public Affairs Coordinator, has been a key member of the City’s Emergency Management Team. He stated that, after considerable thought, he felt the best option for continuing the City’s Emergency Management efforts was to request permission from City Council to assign the EMC responsibilities to Ms. Dietz-Sass on a permanent basis. Ms. Dietz-Sass has degrees in Business Management, General Business, and Marketing. In addition, he stated that she has completed the entire Professional Development Series for Emergency Management as well as successfully completing the Advanced Public Information Officer course through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He provided members with a list of completed courses through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA). Mr. Koenig noted that Ms. Dietz-Sass worked closely with Mr. Hutchison on various emergency procedures for the City and has proven to be a well-organized, decisive, and a dedicated individual in several emergency situations. She played a key role in opening a shelter for 126 fire victims when Dover experienced its largest apartment fire in many years. She has also worked closely with the NASCAR events, attended meetings for the implementation of the Dover Downs Joint Operations Center, and handled weather and emergency notifications and bridge calls with the

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 27, 2012 PAGE 13 State of Delaware, DEMA, the National Weather Service, and more. In addition, Ms. Dietz-Sass was the primary point of contact for the City’s most recent FEMA reimbursements related to a hurricane in 2011. As a result of an organizational assessment of this function, Mr. Koenig stated his opinion that it would be in the best interest of the City to permanently assign the duties of the EMC position to the City’s Public Affairs Coordinator. If this request were approved, he explained that Ms. Dietz-Sass would have the dual title of Public Affairs Coordinator/Emergency Management Coordinator. He noted that staff conducted a preliminary analysis of the combined position using the Point Factor Analysis (PFA) system. The preliminary review yielded a grade of 129 for the position with a salary range of $62,784 (minimum) - $76,010 (market) - $98,701 (maximum). If authorized, staff would finalize the analysis, confirm a pay rate, and inform members of Council of the final results of the analysis. Staff recommended authorization to permanently assign the duties of the Emergency Management Coordinator position to Ms. Kay Dietz-Sass. The proposal salary would be based on a final analysis of the position using the PFA system with a preliminary grade of 129 for the dual-titled position. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mr. Koenig stated the need to complete the analysis and required paperwork; therefore, he anticipated an effective date of the first of May. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that Mr. Hutchison’s final salary was $53,216. Dr. McGlumphy suggested that the Committee defer taking action to allow staff the opportunity to prepare the necessary paperwork for a title and grade change. Mr. Koenig stated that he would not be present at the April 9, 2012 Committee Meeting; however, he requested the opportunity to submit a recommendation for consideration during that meeting. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that recent action authorized City Hall to be designated as the Emergency Operations Center for the City and that the Police Department serve as a backup location. Mayor Carey requested the opportunity to provide information regarding this matter. It was suggested that he discuss the recommendation with the City Manager prior to providing members this information. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend postponing action regarding the assignment of Emergency Management Coordinator responsibilities until the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting scheduled for April 9, 2012. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

Permission to Recruit To: Carleton E. Carey Date: April 5, 2012 Mayor From: James E Hosfelt Jr. Chief of Police Permission to recruit: 1 Person Type of Position: PF PP TF TP Title of Position: Police Officer Start employment on: April 23, 2012 Opening is due to: Termination, Transfer, Promotion, Other: Retirement of Captain Steven Getek Captain Steven Getek (name of previous employee) Type of recruitment desired: Local Newspaper: None, Dover Police Department currently has an eligibility list ______________________ __ (Name of publication) Note: All out-of-house job postings will be advertised in the Delaware State News Other: None See above Chief James E Hosfelt Jr. APPROVED DENIED Mayor of the City of Dover

Hiring Justification Outline 1. Explain the principal function of this job. The principal function of these positions is to ensure security for the citizens of Dover. The persons would be responsible to enforce the laws of the State of Delaware within the city limits of Dover. 2. Explain why this position is critical and cannot go unfilled or postponed. The departments authorized strength is currently 92 officers. It is essential for the department to maintain personnel to provide all levels of safety for the citizens of Dover. However due to the recent retirement the authorized strength has dropped to 91 officers. At this time the department maintains an active roster of qualified applicants for hire as positions become available. The next applicant on the list is not a certified officer. When hired, this individual will have to attend training at a police academy. The next police academy class is scheduled to begin April 23, 2012. These positions also need to be filled in order for the department and the City of Dover to remain compliant with the staffing provisions of the COPS Grant which city council accepted on September 14, 2009. Failure to replace this officer would put the department and the city in violation of the COPS Grant requirements for this current budget year. 3. How would City services diminish if this position were not filled or postponed at this time? The Police Department would become unable to provide the level of services we currently provide to the citizens of our city. Public safety services provided to the city would diminish quickly. The department must maintain its authorized strength in order to perform the day to day operations of the police department. 4. Are there other employees whose ability to perform would be diminished by not filling or postponing this position? Yes, the departments’ performance would diminish overall by not maintaining current staffing needs to provide security and safety for all citizens within the City of Dover. 5. Is there a person that can be promoted into these positions and whose position is less critical at this time and can go unfilled permanently or temporarily? No. This position is for new police officer.

6. Can one or more existing employees absorb the duties of these positions? Over time the quality of service the department currently provides would diminish. The current authorized strength for the police department is 92 officers, which has been approved by City Council. Without these positions the department would once again be working under the authorized number of officers. For that reason the department is seeking to hire an additional officer to fill the vacant position. 7. Could a temporary person be hired to fill these positions for 60 days? No, there are too many complexities in this position. The people hired would be certified law enforcement officers in the State of Delaware and would still need to pass a background check. 8.

The suspect then opened his jacket and displayed a handgun in his waistband. The subject then fled the store in an unknown direction. Subsequently, on Tuesday, February 14, 2012, Dover Officers observed the subject in the 300 block of W. Division Street attempting to sell the jewelry. Officers recovered a bag that contained a large amount of jewelry with price tags still on the merchandise. The subject was taken into custody and the jewelry was later positively identified by store employees as the items that were stolen during the armed robbery.  On Monday, February 6, 2012, at approximately 0125 hours, an unknown black male wearing blue jeans and a white shirt used a cinder block to break a sliding glass door and gain entry into a residence in the 400 block of S. Governors Ave. Once inside, the suspect removed a flat screen television and fled on foot. On February 8, 2012, the investigation led to the arrest of a twenty-eight year old subject for this burglary.  On February 7, 2012, at approximately 2300 hours, a twenty-six year old subject of Dover, was contacted by a Dover Officer as he was walking on Walker Road near Pear Street. The subject was found to be in possession of a .25 caliber handgun, which was concealed in his jacket as well as 52 grams of marijuana. The subject was taken into custody by the officer and charged.

Report to Mayor and Council February 2012 Page 4  On February 8, 2012, at approximately 1845 hours, Dover Officers responded to a report of an explosion in the parking lot of a local shopping center. Officers arrived and observed what appeared to have been a homemade incendiary device, a soda bomb, which exploded between two parked vehicles. Both the City and State Fire Marshal’s responded to the scene and rendered the area safe. The evidence was collected for processing by the Dover Police Criminal Investigation Unit. Several of these incidents have recently occurred in the downstate area.  On February 24, 2012, officers from the Sex Offender Unit were conducting sex offender verifications. They discovered that a subject did not verify his address with the State Bureau of Identification for the month of January, 2012. His last registered address was verified and it was discovered that he no longer resides there. The subject is a Tier 3 sex offender and is required to register his address with the State Bureau of Identification. A warrant has been obtained for the thirty-one year old subject.  On Friday, February 24, 2012, at approximately 2200 hours, a subject made an unauthorized entry into an apartment at a local apartment complex and set fire to the master bedroom prior to fleeing. The apartment was unoccupied; however, numerous adjacent apartments were inhabited. There are a total of twenty-four apartments within this building. The fire caused extensive damage to the apartment and additional damage occurred to neighboring apartments when the Dover Fire Department extinguished the fire. An investigation by Dover Officers and the City of Dover Fire Marshalls Office determined that the subject was on scene when the incident occurred and had set the fire. She was subsequently arrested and is incarcerated.  On Friday, February 24, 2012, at approximately 2345 hours, two unidentified black males, who concealed their faces, entered a restaurant brandishing a pistol and an assault rifle. The subjects then threatened three employees with the weapons and forced them to hand over U.S. currency. The subjects fled from the restaurant to an unknown area.  On Saturday, February 25, 2012, from 1300-1600 hours, the Dover Police Department hosted a “How to Succeed” seminar. The seminar was designed for those who are currently participating in the hiring process and for those who may be considering a career in law enforcement. The seminar outlined the comprehensive hiring process which encompassed the submission of the initial application and commenced with the prospect of being selected for the police academy.
