SUBJECT: Civilian Pension Plan Retiree Pension – Cost of Living Adjustment
REFERENCE: N/A
APPROVALS: City Council
EXHIBITS: Minutes of Civilian Pension Board Meeting – February 8, 2012
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $98,500 annually
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): None identified
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff’s recommendation is that if Council approves the 4% Cost of Living Adjustment for the Civilian
Pension Plan that the City Manager will be directed to budget each year the for the cost of the cost of
living adjustment as follows: General Fund $52,400, Water/Wastewater Fund $5,300, and Electric Fund
$40,800.
The Civilian Pension Board met on February 9, 2012 to review a Cost of Living Adjustment
for current retiree’s and surviving spouses. The following motion was made by Board
Member Lester Blakeman.
That all members for the Civilian Pension Plan who retired on or before June 30,
2007 will receive a four percent Cost of Living Adjustment effective January 1, 2013;
And that, the retirement income of a retired member of the Civilian Pension Plan shall
be increased by two percent per annum every January 1. 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 two percent increase. The first
two percent increase would be on January 1, 2014.
Please note, the motion did not specifically include surviving spouses, however that is the
intent of the maker. Also, Mr. Blakeman’s calculation of the increase presented to the Board
was $126,335 which included all retiree’s and not only those retired on or before June 30,
2007. The lower amount in the recommended action coincides with the motion.
Staff cannot support an automatic cost of living provision. While we can understand the
retiree’s rational, retirement plans have been moving away from this provision as
demonstrated by the City’s other retirement plans. All of the State of Delaware Pension Plans
with these provisions are now closed.

CIVILIAN PENSION BOARD
A Meeting of the Civilian Pension Board was held on February 8, 2012, at 4:03 p.m. with
Dr. McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Clendaniel,
Mrs. Hettinger, Mr. Koenig, and Mrs. Mitchell. Mr. Hare and Mayor Carey were also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and
unanimously carried.
ANNUAL REVIEW OF PENSION BENEFITS PAID TO ALL CIVILIAN RETIREES
During their meeting of January 27, 2000, members directed the City Clerk to maintain a permanent
pending agenda item to review a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for City of Dover retirees prior
to the third week of February each year.
Mr. Blakeman provided members with a list of retirement payments being issued to members of the
Civilian Pension Plan as of December 2011 (Attachment #1). He stated his concern that more than
74% of those employees listed were receiving between $2,400 and $23,837 per year.
Mr. Blakeman provided members with the City of Dover Finance Department Pay Plan and Benefit
Comparisons - Contract Wage Increase (Attachment #2). He indicated that this document was
adapted from a document reviewed by the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison
Committee at their meeting of December 6, 2012 and that he had added information regarding
increases for retired FOP and General Fund Civilian Employees. Mr. Blakeman provided members
with a COLA History (Attachment #3) and explained that Civilian Pension Plan retirees had not
received an increase since June 26, 2006. Mr. Blakeman noted that during the period between
July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2012, active non-bargaining employees received salary increases which
ranged from 9% to18.7%, FOP employees received 16%, IUE employees 13.5%, IBEW employees
15.5%, and FOP retirees 10%; however, retirees paid from the General Fund received no increases
during this time. He informed members that the City’s Municipal Code provides for an automatic
2% annual increase for retirees in the Police Pension Plan.
Mr. Blakeman provided members information regarding Historical Inflation (Attachment #4) and
a History of Automatic Cost-of-Living Adjustments from the Social Security Administration
(Attachment #5) for their review.
Mrs. Hettinger stated her feeling that there was a lack of equity in that retirees in the Police Pension
Plan receive an annual increase but Civilian Pension Plan retirees do not.
Mr. Blakeman moved 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. The
motion was seconded by Mrs. Hettinger.
Paj 5
CIVILIAN PENSION BOARD MEETING OF FEBRUARY 8, 2012 PAGE 2
Mr. Blakeman noted that language in the motion regarding an automatic annual increase mirrors
language in the City of Dover Code regarding the Police Pension Plan (Chapter 62 - Law
Enforcement, Article III, Pension Plan, Division 1 - Generally, Section 62-76 (b) Increase).
Referring to the City of Dover Finance Department Pay Plan and Benefit Comparison - Contract
Wage Increase (Attachment #2), Dr. McGlumphy clarified that figures listed in the “G.F. Retired”
column refer to all individuals in the City of Dover organization other than the police.
In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Clendaniel explained that Police Pension Plan participants who retired
prior to 2009 continue to receive Medicare Part B reimbursement.
Mr. Bonar acknowledged the need of the retirees and the validity of the information presented;
however, stated he could not support the motion due to the City’s current dire financial situation.
In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Blakeman stated that a 4% increase would cost approximately
$126,534.60 per year; however, if it were implemented on January 1, 2013, the cost would be
reduced by one-half to approximately $63,267.30. He offered several suggestions for funding the
increase, as follows:
1) Increase kilowatt hour (kWh) sales by one-half cent. Mr. Blakeman stated that
this would spread the cost among all users, not just property owners, and would
generate $3.5M in revenue per year. He estimated the monthly impact to
electric consumers as follows:
500 kWh $2.50
1,000 kWh $5.00
1,500 kWh $7.50
2,000 kWh $10.00
2,500 kWh $12.50
5,000 kWh $25.00
10,000 kWh $50.00
2) As of February 8, 2011, there were 32 property owners who owed the City a
total of more than $300,000 in property taxes. He stated that collecting these
taxes would more than fund an increase.
3) As of December 31, 2010, the City’s reserve accounts had over $2,729,910 in
excess of the minimum balance, some of which could be used to fund a COLA.
Mr. Hare stated his concurrence with Mr. Bonar’s assessment of the City’s financial position;
however, he indicated that retirees should be treated similarly to employees. He felt that if
employees receive a raise this year, retirees should also receive an increase; however, he advised
members that he could not support a 4% raise for retirees if employees do not receive an increase.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that the last time a COLA was approved, the actuary calculated the cost of the
COLA and the City budgeted money to cover this expense. She stressed the importance of
Paj 6
CIVILIAN PENSION BOARD MEETING OF FEBRUARY 8, 2012 PAGE 3
examining the long-term implications of any increase, noting that the issue is not to fund it just for
one year but to fund it over the entire amortization period.
Mr. Hare stated his reluctance to guarantee an annual COLA but stated he would be willing to
consider a one-time increase that would be subject to review every year.
On a call for the question by Mr. Bonar, the motion 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 failed by a roll call vote of four (4) no and three (3) yes
(Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Clendaniel, and Mrs. Hettinger).
Mr. Mike Karia, 54 Merion Road (former City of Dover Finance Director), stated that his purpose
in attending the meeting was to request a list of the names, mailing addresses, email addresses, and
phone numbers of City of Dover retirees so that he could visit and offer assistance to them.
However, he stated that, after hearing the discussion regarding a COLA for retirees, he felt
compelled to share his point of view. Mr. Karia noted that City Council, the Finance Director, the
City Manager, the Human Resources Director, the Mayor, and the actuaries did not consider the
long-term effect on the unfunded liability when salary increases were granted to management
employees over the last 7-10 years, yet this was considered to be a concern during the discussion of
an increase for retirees on small, limited incomes. Mr. Karia explained that there are four (4) factors
that contribute to the City’s unfunded liability, including: 1) a decline in the economic market; 2) the
fact that retirees are living longer than previously; 3) payments that are made to retirees (increases
add to the unfunded liability); and 4) raises received by current employees every year, including
management employees who have received increases up to 18%. He commended members for
voting their consciences regarding the COLA because of the City’s dire financial situation; however,
he requested that members investigate the causes of this situation, including bonds, the new library
project which will require more staff and cause higher electric bills, and salaries paid over the last
few years under the Pay for Performance system. Mr. Karia requested that members consider the
non-management employees and retirees who have given their lives for the City and stated his hope
that this type of request would be considered favorably in the future.
Mr. Bonar expressed his respect for Mr. Karia and acknowledged that management and top-level
employees have received significant pay raises over the past ten years; however, he stated that this
had not happened during the last two (2) years. He indicated that he did not believe that raises would
be granted during the next fiscal year unless arbitrated and expressed his hope that the City would
not negotiate. Mr. Bonar stated that if the economy improves in the future, he would like to see a
unanimous vote in favor of granting a COLA, but felt the City was not in a position to do so at this
time. He noted that the budget process would be very difficult and painful this year.
Mr. Koenig stated that there has been a great deal of hostility expressed regarding the Pay for
Performance system; however, he noted that this was a publicly vetted system that was reviewed
through the budget process and approved by a majority of Council. In addition, he noted that not all
Paj 7
CIVILIAN PENSION BOARD MEETING OF FEBRUARY 8, 2012 PAGE 4
employees affect the unfunded liability, as those in the deferred compensation plan have no impact.
He suggested that further discussion on this topic could be held in conjunction with the budget
process for FY 2013. This would provide time to estimate and plan for this cost and would allow
for the matter to be publicly vetted through the budget system.
Mrs. Hettinger noted that she had been a Pension Board member for many years and that previously
Board members met with all employees when they retired and had a voice in their retirement process.
She stated that the Board now meets only in regard to investments and she indicated that she was not
in favor of this change. Mrs. Hettinger also stated that the Board previously tried to incorporate
raises in the budget for those who retired in the 1970s and 1980s. She stated that a plan was
developed to allow incremental percentage raises for retirees based on their date of retirement, from
earliest to latest retired (proposed raises were not equivalent), and employees who retired during the
previous five (5) years would not have been eligible to receive raises because they had received
higher salaries. Mrs. Hettinger indicated that she was informed at the time that the City Solicitor
determined this approach was discriminatory; however, she felt that a second opinion should be
solicited to determine if staggered COLAs are discriminatory. She noted a recent encounter with a
93-year-old City retiree whose job had been to clean City Hall and stated that she was working on
behalf of former employees such as this who “built this City” and retired many years ago.
Mr. Bonar suggested that Mr. Blakeman discuss a COLA with Mrs. Mitchell to determine if an
appropriate allocation for this purpose could be worked into the budget for eventual review by
Council. He indicated that this matter could be brought before the Legislative, Finance, and
Administration Committee.
Dr. McGlumphy suggested reviewing the Solicitor’s previous opinion regarding staggered COLAs.
He noted that the budget hearings would proceed within the next month.
Mr. Hare explained that contact information for retirees could not be released to the public due to
Privacy Act protections; however, the City could assist in the distribution of mailings to these
individuals.
By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:06 P.M.

Date: March 1, 2012
Subject: Cost of Living Adjustments for City Pension Retiree’s & Surviving Spouses
Attached are several items of additional information in relation to the agenda item for a Cost of Living
Adjustment “COLA” for Retiree’s and Surviving Spouses.
1. History of Pension adjustments – the COLA History provided did not include the stipend that
was paid during Fiscal Year 2009. The history shows that in July 2007 $75,000 was set aside for
July 2008, which is incorrect. The Fiscal Year 2009 budget included funding of $100,000
(allocated among the three major funds) for a stipend based on the age of the retiree. The
payments ranged from $339 to $815. The City issued two checks on 7/15/2008 and 11/12/2008.
These checks were not issued by the Pension Plan but rather from the operating funds similar to
a bonus. An excerpt of the minutes from the Budget Meeting is included on page 2.
2. The City has four pension plans, of which one provides for an automatic cost of living
adjustment.
a. General Employee Pension Plan – No automatic COLA provision, non-law enforcement
personnel hired prior to September 30, 2009. Employee contributes 3.5% as of 5/1/94.
b. Defined Contribution Plan 401(a) – No COLA provision, for those who elected to
transfer from the General Employee Pension Plan as of May 1, 1994 and those hired after
September 29, 2009. Employee contributes 3%, City match up to 6%.
c. State of Delaware – County & Municipal Police & Firefighters’ Plans – No automatic
COLA provision. This plan covers all law enforcement officers hired after September 1,
1982. Ad Hoc COLA’s can be approved by the State Legislature. Employee contributes
7.0%.
d. City of Dover – Police Pension Plan – Automatic 2% COLA provision on January 1 each
year. Minutes attached on page 3. The State maintains a separate COLA Fund for police
plans that provide COLA’s. The City receives State monies equal to 75% of the actuarial
determined value of the COLA after we certify we have contributed the actuarial
determined 25%. We budget a place holder of $95,000 for the match each year. Attached
is a handout from a recent meeting I attended that provides background on the COLA
Fund. Employee contributes 4.0%.
3. The General Employee Plan Schedule of Funding Progress is provided on the following page.

Cost of Living Adjustment – Retirees’ (continued)
March 12, 2012
Excerpt from Budget Meeting of May 21, 2008
Discussion - COLA Increase for Retirees
Mr. DePrima reminded members that during their Regular Meeting of April 14, 2008, City Council
considered a recommendation of the Civilian Pension Board (from their meeting of February 29, 2008) that
City Council fund a $100,000 one-time stipend to retirees to be provided based on the age of the retiree,
to be distributed July 15th and November 15th. Although there was a motion to approve a stipend for
current retirees, including those that retired from the Deferred Compensation Plan, with funding to be
provided from the excess carry forward balance in the Worker’s Compensation Fund, members tabled
the matter to allow for its consideration by City Council during the Budget Hearings.
Noting that there is no adjustment to the pension benefits being recommended, Mr. Hogan reiterated that
although there is reference to a COLA, the recommendation is to provide for a one-time stipend to
retirees. For informational purposes, Council President Hogan advised members that on July 7th, there
will be a workshop meeting held on the pension and COLA issues.
Responding to Mr. Leary, Mrs. Mitchell stated that $100,000 has been included in the draft budget for
fiscal year 2008/2009 to provide the stipend to retirees.
There being no objections, Council President Hogan declared a brief recess.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Kent County collects a special Library Tax from each County property owner who does not reside in 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.
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 these funds 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
recommends transfer of the $15,000 Kent County residual Reciprocal Borrowing funds to the Library Reserve
Fund for the capital project.
Note – This item has been included in the proposed budget amendment included on this same Agenda. It this
item is not approved, it will be removed from the proposed budget amendment.

RE: Distribution of Residual Library Tax
Purpose: Distribution of Residual Library Tax (Note: A residual balance is defined as
unobligated funds remaining from funds collected for a designated purpose.)
History: The most recent distribution of residual library tax was In June 2010 and it was
distributed at a rate of $30,000 per each of the four (4) municipal libraries
(Dover, Smyrna, Harrington, & Milford) and $30,000 for Kent County Library for a
total of $150,000. The purpose of these funds was for capital expenditures.
Distribution of Residual Library Tax:
On January 21, 2012 at the Kent County Levy Court Annual Retreat there was a
discussion regarding the distribution of the residual library tax funds. The
following facts and predictions were presented at the meeting. At the end of
Fiscal Year 2011 the balance in the residual library tax is $214,754. In Fiscal Year
2012 the library tax rate was reduced from $.037 per $100 of tax assessed value
to $.033 per $100 of tax assessed value. The prediction for the current fiscal
year is that the reciprocal borrowing distribution to the four (4) municipal
libraries will exceed the total tax collections. If this occurs, some of the residual
library tax will be used to fill the gap.
Based on the information presented there was a consensus at the Retreat to
bring forward for a vote a $15,000 distribution to the City of Dover Library, Town
of Smyrna Library, City of Harrington Library, Town of Milford Library, and the
Kent County Library for a total of $75,000. This will leave a balance of $139,754.

DEMA Reimbursements for Hurricane Irene ($80,806) and Downtown Cameras ($23,870)
totaling $104,676; Expenses ($131,245) for Hurricane exceeded reimbursement by $48,499
reflected as a reduction in the Ending Budget Balance. The Budget Balance falls below the 8%
policy requirement at 7.8%, however the savings from attrition this fiscal year should be able to
cover the difference.
Recreation Grant for Watershed Coordinator was not budgeted for, both revenue ($35,323) and
expense ($33,443) are adjusted
Municipal Street Aid - $131,760 additional funds for street capital improvements; being
transferred to Community Transportation Fund to cover City’s portion of street improvements;
This amount along with the $15,000 for the Library project equals the $146,760 transfer to Capital
Projects.
The Water/Wastewater Improvement and Extension Fund reflects the final State Revolving Fund
loan reimbursement for the 2009 Wastewater Loan now that the projects have been completed.
The original loan amount authorized by Council was $5,942,480 based on the Engineer estimates
and the project reimbursements totaled $5,581,058. This decreased the projected debt by
$361,422.
The Electric Fund includes an appropriation from the Current Year - Ending Budget Balance in
the amount of $150,000 to complete the valuation study approved by City Council. The Budget
Balance remains in compliance with the financial policy.
