There was no one present wishing to speak during the Open Forum. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Due to the absence of Mr. Nathan Hanson, LS Power Development, Mr. Leary requested that Item #2, Presentation - Dover Sun Park, be deleted from the agenda.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 2 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 8, 2011 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on August 8, 2011 with Chairwoman Russell presiding. Bus Tour of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Projects Members attended a bus tour which visited sites within the City that were improved (or are in the process of being improved) utilizing funds received through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). Sites visited included the following: 1. Dover Interfaith Mission to the Homeless (684 Forest Street) The shelter received $60,000 in CDBG funding to renovate an existing building that serves up to 150 homeless men annually. Before the renovations, there were five (5) separate office buildings that were utilized as separate businesses. Since the renovations, the shelter has been converted into one (1) large facility that includes an intake office in the front of the building, living quarters for the men, a dining room, and a large kitchen. 2. 49 South Kirkwood Street CDBG funds were utilized to renovate a single family home to install a heating system and fully renovate the bathroom, which included the installation of a bathtub, vanity, and toilet. 3. Downtown Streets Project CDBG funds were utilized to reconstruct the streets and curbs in the Downtown Target Area. The streets that were repaired include South New Street, North New Street, North Queen Street, and North Kirkwood Street. 4. Habitat for Humanity (101 Jefferson Court) Habitat for Humanity purchased 101 Jefferson Court to renovate for affordable housing for a low-income family. Habitat received a CDBG grant for $40,000 to assist with the cost of fully renovating this home and bringing it up to code. This home was sold on Februrary 23, 2011 to a family who had been living in a shelter. 5. 218 Ann Avenue (NSP) This home was purchased by the Dover Housing Authority, the sub-grantee of the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), whose role is to acquire foreclosed properties, renovate them, and re-sell them to qualified families. This property was the first home sold through the NSP Program, which made homeownership possible for a former subsidized housing resident. 6. Mitscher Road Streets Project In 2009, the City received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding in the amount of $73,000 to be utilized for infrastructure projects in the city. ARRA funding was used for the construction of sidewalks on Mitscher Road.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 3 7. Dover Parks and Recreation (White Oak Road Location) CDBG funds were utilized to make this facility handicapped accessible. The sidewalks from White Oak Road to the pavilion were made accessible for wheelchair entry to the park. Entrance doors to the facility were also made handicapped accessible. 8. 1415 S. Hancock Avenue (NSP) This home was recently purchased by Dover Housing Authority and is currently under renovation to be sold to a qualifying family. 9. 1430 S. Hancock Avenue (NSP) This home was purchased by Connections Community Support Program and will be utilized as a rental property that will serve persons with disabilities. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 8, 2011 The Utility Committee met on August 8, 2011 with Chairman Bonar presiding. PACE/NAES Monthly Report (May) The PACE/NAES Monthly Report for May 2011 was provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, indicated that the June report will be the last from PACE/NAES, reminding members that the agreement with The Energy Authority (TEA) has been completed and services began on July 1, 2011. Mr. Blakeman noted that a line item budget is currently provided for the power supply and power plant. He suggested that a summary of line items be included when the monthly report is submitted. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that TEA indicated that they plan to refashion the monthly report and that he would advise them of this request. The Committee recommended acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Report for May 2011. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Update - Green Energy Funding and Programming Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, noted that there is currently a $74,239.46 deficit in the Green Energy Fund. He stated that as funds are received this deficit will be eliminated, since project owners are not reimbursed until the funds become available.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 4 Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig stated that he believed there was typically a six (6) month time lapse before the City received reimbursement; however, he indicated that he would need to confirm this time frame. Mr. Bonar requested that staff submit a letter to the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation, Inc. (DEMEC) to inquire as to the average turnaround time and the reason for such a delay, and to request an itemized list of those projects that are pending reimbursement. He advised members that he was aware of several instances when projects (outside of the City) were funded and an inordinate amount of time elapsed after paperwork was submitted, and that paperwork has sometimes been lost. Mr. Bonar indicated that some citizens have been “shorted” under this program and he wanted to ensure that the City does not experience this. He stated that, according to an investigation he performed during the last six (6) months, there is a significant concern with these reimbursements. Mr. Bonar requested staff to provide members with an update on this issue. Proposed Ordinance #2011-20 - Chapter 110 - Utilities, Article III - Water Service, Division 1 - Generally, Section 110-67 - Private Wells Members reviewed a proposed ordinance that would prohibit new private shallow wells within the City of Dover. Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, advised members that this prohibition will protect the water resources of the unconfined aquifer from which the City draws a portion of its water supply, as well as protect the City’s Certificate of Public Convenience & Necessity (CPCN). He noted that, currently, private shallow wells, for irrigation purposes in particular, are permitted in accordance with certain criteria specified in the Code. In addition, Mr. Koenig stated that geothermal technology for heating and cooling is an emerging technology that was not contemplated when this section of the code was implemented. Geothermal systems require well permits from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), although they do not draw water from the ground. The proposed ordinance would clarify that wells associated with the installation of closed loop geothermal systems are permitted within the City of Dover in accordance with specified criteria. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-20. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that the City is aware of the location of the shallow wells. He indicated that there is a requirement for an annual report to be submitted to the City indicating usage and that the City will need to conduct inspections. Mr. Hutchison questioned the alternatives available to property owners. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that if a private well is not permitted, owners could utilize their current water service for lawn irrigation, or a second water meter could be installed to prevent paying for sewer usage on the service to the house. He noted that the private shallow wells have served as another option for owners. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig explained that every time someone drills down into the aquifer, there is potential for current or future contamination. He stated the proposed ordinance has a dual purpose: to protect the City’s interests and investments and to prevent possible contamination of the aquifer.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 5 The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-20, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). (The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2011-20 will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - AUGUST 8, 2011 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on August 8, 2011 with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Reconsideration of Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions as a Standing Agenda Item and Review of Necessary Documentation for Requests for Filling Critical Positions Members were reminded that during their Regular Meeting of March 9, 2009, City Council approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation to approve a Hiring Freeze for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that, in order to avoid issues involving prior notice for agenda items, there could be a "standing" agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there were no positions to consider, the item could be removed. In light of the current economic conditions, Dr. McGlumphy, Chair of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee requested that members reconsider retaining the Filling of Critical Positions as a standing item on the agenda and instead adopt the following process with regard to vacancies: < If a position becomes vacant that will affect public or employee safety or cause financial harm to the City, Permission to Recruit, Hiring Justification Outline, and Wage and Benefit Information for Employee Hiring and Transfers forms will be submitted to the Legislative, Finance, and Administrative Committee. < The justification to fill a position is to include the exiting employee's salary and benefits, estimated salary and benefits for the new employee, and how the department will fund this position within the realm of their current budget for salary and benefits, with cost to include any vacation, sick leave, or compensatory time paid out to the exiting employee. If the department cannot cover the cost due to terminal leave or lump sum payouts, then the position cannot be filled until such time as the cost can be covered in the current budget.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 6 < If Council decides to cover the cost overages, then the method of funding is to be determined by the City Manager, Council, or the Council/Mayor appointee. < To fill the needs of a department that has vacancies, staff from other departments or staff within the department that has vacancies will be utilized while Council is working through the current and future budget constraints. Dr. McGlumphy requested that the Filling of Critical Positions be removed as a standing agenda item and the affirmation and adoption of the current and proposed hiring process. It was his opinion that this process would provide more transparency and accountability within departments. The Committee recommended removing the Filling of Critical Positions as a standing agenda item and affirmation and adoption of the current and proposed hiring process for filling vacant or new positions, including submission of a Permission to Recruit Form, a Hiring Justification Outline Form, and a Wage and Benefit Information for Employee Hiring and Transfers Form. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to remove the Filling of Critical Positions as a standing agenda item and to affirm and adopt the current and proposed hiring process for filling vacant or new positions, including submission of a Permission to Recruit Form (Exhibit #1), A Hiring Justification Outline Form (Exhibit #2), and a Wage and Benefit Information for Employee Hiring and Transfers Form (Exhibit #3), seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Formation of Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee Mr. Hare proposed the formation of a Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee to compare salary and benefit information from approximately ten (10) municipalities in the State of Delaware: New Castle, Sussex, and Kent Counties and the cities/towns of Wilmington, Newark, Middletown, Smyrna, Lewes, Seaford, Milford, and Dover. He stated that, to his knowledge, such research has never been conducted and he felt that such information would be useful, particularly with union contract negotiations scheduled for the near future. Mr. Hare suggested that this Committee consist of five (5) members from varied backgrounds and advised members that individuals have already been selected to serve on the Committee and have agreed to participate. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Dr. McGlumphy stated that a Health Benefits Committee has been formed and a meeting is scheduled for the week of August 15, 2011. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that the Health Benefits Committee was formed specifically to review medical insurance options due to new accounting standards affecting Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability. Mr. Shevock questioned if these committees should be combined. Responding, Dr. McGlumphy stated that the committees would have separate responsibilities, explaining that the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee would be established to review salary and benefit information similar to that provided previously through the MAG Pay-For-Performance Study; however, rather than utilizing corresponding municipalities in other states, the desire is to determine how the City compares with local municipalities. He reminded members that this recommendation was made during the recent Budget Hearings.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 7 Mr. Anderson inquired if the Committee would be temporary in nature, how members would be selected, and to whom the Committee would report. Responding, Mr. Hare felt that the Committee would be temporary; however, if there is a need for such research in the future, another committee could be established. He stated that the Committee’s findings would be reported to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and that the individuals proposed for membership have varied backgrounds in human resources, business, law, and accounting. Mr. Anderson indicated his support for obtaining such information outside of the constraints of a timeline associated with the budget development process. However, it was his feeling that the goal for reviewing this information should not be to compete in a “race to the bottom” in establishing salary levels and that the City’s pay scale should remain competitive. Mr. Lester Blakeman (former City Electric Director) advised members that, in the past, no such comparison has been performed for Electric Department employees. He explained that no other municipality in Delaware has a utility the size of the City’s; therefore, there is no comparable electrical function on the Delmarva Peninsula. Responding, Mr. Bonar stated that there are a few utility organizations in the State of Delaware with comparable positions and suggested obtaining information from Delmarva Power and the Delaware Electric Cooperative. Responding to Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, Mr. Hare stated that the research would be conducted on all levels within the City (to include both bargaining and non-bargaining employees). Dr. McGlumphy stated that five (5) individuals have agreed to serve on the proposed Committee; however, members would not be appointed until Council authorizes the formation of the Committee. Mrs. Hawkins questioned how the membership selection process occurred. Responding, Dr. McGlumphy stated that two (2) of the proposed members are presently serving on the City’s Compensation Commission and the other three (3) members are from the community. Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, informed members of a website (Sperling’s Best Places at www.bestplaces.net/col) that compares cost of living and salaries. He requested that this website be used as a tool to compare “apples to apples” when the Committee is reviewing the data obtained. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, noted that the City of Newark is the only municipality in Delaware that compares to the City of Dover in terms of population. In addition, she noted that the City of Milford outsources their engineering work and, although they have a Planner, some of their planning functions are also outsourced. Mrs. Townshend noted that the City of Harrington outsources all planning and has a consultant who performs all planning activities. She expressed her concern that positions in smaller towns perform very different functions from those within the City of Dover. She questioned if the size of the population served would be considered when assessing each position’s level of responsibility. Responding, Mr. Hare stated that the Committee members would be provided a charge and felt confident that they would take such issues into consideration. Mr. Anderson requested that the salaries and benefits of State of Delaware employees also be considered when conducting the comparison.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 8 Dr. Jones suggested that if the proposed Committee is formed, their charge will be stated and all discussions, considerations, and concerns could be addressed at that time. Mr. Anderson requested that the minutes of this meeting be forwarded to members of the proposed Committee for their review and consideration. Dr. McGlumphy requested that staff compile minutes of all meetings of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee during the past year which included discussion of salaries and benefits and provide them to members of the proposed Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee. In addition, he requested that the Human Resources Director provide members of the proposed Committee with any additional information that would be beneficial in their consideration of this matter. The Committee recommended approval of the formation of a Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee. Dr. McGlumphy noted that appointment of the individuals recommended to serve on this committee was scheduled to take place during the latter part of the meeting. He advised members that those recommended for appointment have various backgrounds in human resources, business, law, and accounting. Dr. McGlumphy moved to recommend approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams. Mr. Lynn concurred with the formation of a Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee; however, expressed concerns regarding the individuals recommended to serve as members; therefore, he stated that he would express his objections during the consideration of Item #7 on the agenda. He indicated that he would like assurance that the proposed Committee would provide recommendations that are intellectually honest, fair, and even-handed. The motion to approve the formation of a Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee, as recommended by the Committee, was unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2011-21 - Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 1 - One Family Residence Zones, Subsection 1.15 - Accessory Uses, Limited to and Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 1 - Supplementary Regulations Applying to Residence Zones Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, presented a proposed Ordinance amending Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 1 - One Family Residence Zones, as it relates to the keeping of animals in one-family residence zones, and Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, relating to swimming pools in residence zones. Mrs. Townshend explained that the proposed Ordinance would prohibit the keeping of farm animals and establish a maximum number of cats (five (5)) in a one-family residence zone. She advised members that currently, the Zoning Ordinance allows for keeping up to 25 fowl, up to three (3) dogs over six (6) months old, and sets no limit on cats. Mrs. Townshend explained that, as the City has

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 9 become more urbanized, the allowance for up to 25 fowl and the absence of a maximum number of cats have become outdated. In addition, Mrs. Townshend explained that the proposed Ordinance would move the regulations regarding swimming pools from Article 3 - District Regulations, to Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations. She stated that the proposed amendment would more closely align the regulations regarding swimming pools with the provisions of the Building Code. Mrs. Townshend advised members that conflicts between the two (2) codes have been a source of confusion for residents in recent years. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-21. Rather than prohibiting farm animals in one-family residence zones, Mr. Hare suggested the need to prohibit the keeping of farm animals within City limits. He stated that he was aware of a business that is adjacent to a residential zone that has chickens. Mrs. Townshend noted that the City has an agricultural zone that allows for farm animals. Mr. Hare felt that the agricultural zone should be an exception. Responding, Mrs. Townshend suggested that, in addition to the proposed amendment, there could be an amendment to the Supplementary Regulations that the “keeping of farm animals in any zone except the Agricultural Zone shall be prohibited.” Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that if a City resident currently raises chickens for organic eggs, they would be given 12 months before the ordinance goes into effect. Although he felt the intent of the proposed Ordinance was very good, Mr. Bonar suggested that staff conduct additional research. Mr. Anderson expressed his opposition to the proposed Ordinance, explaining that the raising of chickens is a part of the culture of some City residents. He stated his concern with the current economy and felt that there may be a need to allow for individuals to raise their own food, which the proposed ordinance would prohibit. With regards to the number of cats and dogs permitted, Mr. Anderson did not feel that it was within the realm of the government to make such a determination if it does not affect others. He also questioned the City’s ability to enforce the rules that would be created if the Ordinance were adopted. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Townshend stated that adoption of the proposed Ordinance, as presented, would not affect Delaware State University (DSU); however, if members approve an amendment to the Supplementary Regulations to expand prohibiting farm animals in any zone except the Agricultural Zone, DSU would be affected. Mr. Shevock suggested that if DSU has a program involving farm animals, an exemption for the University should be included. In addition, he suggested that the number of cats and dogs should be equal and relayed concern regarding breeders of pedigreed dogs, stating that these dogs may produce puppies that may not sell within a specific time period. In addition, he suggested that individuals who currently have farm animals be “grandfathered” and not subject to the proposed Ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 10 Concurring with Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Russell advised members that there are several residents of the Fourth District that have farm animals and, to her knowledge, this has not created any problems. She relayed her opposition, feeling that the proposed Ordinance is directed toward certain individuals and that there are instances when having farm animals or raising pets is a means of “making ends meet.” As a result of the concerns relayed, Mr. Bonar suggested that the Committee table action to allow staff to redraft the proposed Ordinance. Mr. Anderson requested the division of the question for Ordinance #2011-21 so that Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 1 - One Family Residence Zones, relating to keeping of animals in one-family residence zones, be separated from the proposed amendments to Article 3 and Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, regarding swimming pools in residence zones. The Committee recommended that Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 1 - One Family Residence Zones (relating to keeping of animals in one-family residence zones) be referred back to staff for additional research and development. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Referring to the proposed amendment to Paragraph (b) of Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 1 - One Family Residence Zone and Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Mrs. Townshend explained that the amendment would move the regulations for swimming pools to the supplementary regulations for residence zones. She stated that the proposed amendment aligns the zoning requirements for pools with the building code requirements, which she felt was more logical. As an example, Mrs. Townshend explained that the Residence Zone allows for accessory structures; however, the Supplementary Regulations provide the details of such structures. She noted that the proposed amendment also includes the deletion of a portion of Paragraph (g) - Customary Home Occupations and explained that the referenced section is no longer in existence. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the building code requires a four (4) foot safety barrier for swimming pools and the zoning ordinance requires a five (5) foot screening for swimming pools. This conflict is causing confusion for those erecting swimming pools and has become problematic during the past few years. Mrs. Russell felt that the language in the Dover Code is confusing and suggested that staff reword the amendment to provide a better understanding. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-21, amending Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 1 - One Family Residence Zone and Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations as it relates to swimming pools, as amended.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 11 By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). (The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2011-21 will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Amendment to Personnel Policy - Compensatory Time Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, advised members that with the implementation of ADP, it is necessary to create a simplified, City-wide policy for compensatory (comp) time. He stated that during a staff meeting on July 12, 2011, the general consensus was to eliminate the 90-day time limit and implement a maximum accumulation. Members were provided the proposed amendments to Article III - The Pay Plan, Section 9 - Overtime. Staff recommended approval of revised Section 9 - Overtime in the City of Dover Personnel Policy as presented. Mr. Anderson questioned why bargaining employees are provided comp time at 1½ times the number of hours worked and non-bargaining (exempt) employees accumulate comp time at a 1 to 1 rate. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) determines those employees who are exempt from the provisions of the Act and those who are not. The rates for earning comp time are based on whether an employee is exempt or non-exempt from the FLSA. Only non-bargaining, non-exempt employees receive the 1½ time rate. In response to Dr. Jones, Mr. Koenig stated that a standard work week consists of 40 hours; however, special schedules for employees such as police officers and fire and police dispatchers may require more than 40 hours per week. He stated that employees have varying schedules, depending on the department for which they work. He confirmed that there could be employees in the same job classification in different departments who work different schedules. Dr. Jones relayed concern that eliminating the time frame for requiring the use of comp time earned could have a major impact on the budget. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated his opinion that a City Manager is a contract employee and not eligible for comp time. With regard to other department heads, he stated his opinion that if the employee works ½ hour late to finish a job or project, this would not qualify for comp time; however, if the department was required to attend an evening meeting, this would qualify for comp time. Dr. McGlumphy relayed concern with providing comp time for management employees, including department heads. Disagreeing, Mr. Bonar advised members that he, as a management State employee, is provided comp time; however, he is required to take the time within a certain time period and may not carry forward any more than a certain number of hours (26 hours). He suggested that City employees be required to take the time within a certain time period (perhaps during the next pay cycle) and not be permitted to “bank” the time.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 12 Responding to concerns relayed by Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig stated that such requirements would create difficulties in several departments, such as the Police Department and City Clerk’s Office. Such requirements would drastically change the way comp time is currently accounted for and would probably create operational concerns for several departments. In regard to the concerns of Mr. Hare regarding “management” employees, Mr. Koenig stated that the distinction is between exempt and non-exempt employees, explaining that some management, non-bargaining employees are exempt and others non-exempt. Mr. Hare stated his opinion that comp time should be eliminated completely and that employees should be provided overtime pay. He stated he felt that department heads should manage their departments and be responsible for their budgets. Mr. Hare indicated he had never heard of upper management being provided comp time and that these employees have always been able to adjust their workday based on employee and personal needs. Responding to concerns of Mrs. Russell, Mr. Koenig indicated that the proposal would provide for accumulation of a maximum of 80 hours for comp time, thus limiting the City’s exposure to 80 hours. He noted that for exempt employees, the procedure specifies that any accumulated comp time shall be forfeited upon employment ending. Mrs. Russell stated her concern that there are different rules for different employees, feeling that all employees should be treated equally in this regard. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Koenig confirmed that the proposed amendments would allow for the City to begin utilizing the ADP system and that adjustments could be made subsequently. Dr. McGlumphy felt that it would benefit the City to have the comp time module of the ADP system implemented and then, once up and running, have staff conduct a cost/benefit analysis to determine whether or not comp time should be provided or if it should be transferred to overtime. He reminded members that many of the employee benefits provided by the City are based on salary and overtime. Noting that the Committee previously recommended the formation of a Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee, Mr. Hutchison suggested that this matter be referred to that Committee for their review and recommendation. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, indicated that although staff can move forward with the ADP System, they would not include information for the comp time module at this time. She noted the purpose of utilizing ADP for comp time is to eliminate manual tracking. Mrs. Mitchell explained that ADP has a schedule and must show an employee as either sick, on vacation, working, or on comp time. Since there would be no comp time in the ADP system, she stated that it will be necessary to show the employee as working when they are utilizing comp time. Mrs. Mitchell estimated that the City should be utilizing the time and attendance module by the end of August and stated that Human Resources (HR) and Payroll modules of the ADP system have been in place since January.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 13 In response to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Hawkins, Human Resources Director, indicated that the last comprehensive review of the Employee Handbook was conducted in 2004 after a 20-year lag. She stated that such a review has been one of her goals and that it is approximately 60% complete. Responding to Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Hawkins indicated that once a comprehensive review is completed by staff, it will be forwarded to the Committee for review. She noted that the review conducted by the Committee in 2004 was quite extensive. The Committee recommended tabling the matter, with the intent that members be provided an opportunity to discuss this issue further over the next two (2) weeks and resolve difficulties, with the intent of possible implementation prior to the end of the August 2011. Dr. McGlumphy stated that the delay in the comp time module should not affect staff’s ability to move forward with the implementation of the time and attendance module of the ADP system. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to table the matter, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Review of Grant Application - FY08 Mobile Field Force Development Grant Program (DEMA BearCat) Members reviewed a Grant Application Analysis Form for the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) - FY08 Mobile Field Force Development Grant Program. Police Chief James Hosfelt advised members that this grant would allow for the purchase of one (1) Lenco BearCat Armored Vehicle. He explained that this is a vehicle asset that would be purchased by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) for the Dover Police Department using funds received from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Chief Hoselt stated that the funds for this purchase were reallocated from reverted funds previously awarded to the Delaware State Police and that DEMA would complete all purchase actions for the vehicle awarded through this grant, in the amount of $235,089, and that the vehicle would be provided to the Dover Police Department for use. Chief Hosfelt indicated that the vehicle to be supplied is a Lenco BearCat Armored 4WD vehicle which is a specialized vehicle that runs on a V10 gasoline powered engine using regular unleaded fuel. It is capable of detecting radiation and explosive gases as well as providing protection for passengers from live fire rounds. Staff recommended approval of the project and to allow for the purchase of one (1) Lenco BearCat Armored Vehicle by DEMA. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to allow for the purchase of one (1) Lenco BearCat armored vehicle by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) for the use of the Dover Police Department.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 14 By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Discussion - Review of Other City of Dover Insurances Mr. Hare suggested that the City issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to review the other City of Dover insurances (commercial, property, auto, etc.). Responding, Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, stated that the commercial and power plant policies are bid each year by a broker and assured members that the broker is active in this regard. Mr. Hare felt that all insurances should be bid at a minimum of every two (2) years and that different brokers should be utilized. The Committee recommended that the City issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for all City insurances. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Russell), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Discussion - Health Insurance RFP Questions Mr. Hare questioned if the date for the Request for Proposals (RFP) will be extended for prospective bidders who sent information to the City, because they have not received information back yet. Responding, Mrs. Hawkins, Human Resources Director, stated that, as she has personally relayed to four (4) respondents who are intending to bid, August 12, 2011, was the deadline for questions. She explained that the questions will be gathered and submitted to the State of Delaware in one (1) timely submission rather than piecemeal through the RFP process. Mrs. Hawkins indicated that, once submitted to the State, the State will provide an estimated turnaround time, since some of the data will be provided by the carriers (Blue Cross and Aetna). The date for the RFP was published as August 31, 2011, and Mrs. Hawkins advised bidders that this date may be extended based on the turnaround time provided by the State. She assured members that the bidders will be provided ample time and that all those who have requested information as of the August 12, 2011 will be included in the extension. Public Comment Period Mr. Bob Hartman, 35 Lotus Street, stated his support for Mr. Koenig’s discussion regarding compensatory time, explaining his feeling that such a policy would provide the City an opportunity to save money. Dr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 15 MONTHLY REPORTS - JUNE 2011 By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for acceptance of the Monthly Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Report for June 2011, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Referring to the Budget Report, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that since the June Report is the final report for the fiscal year, it should be considered preliminary since there may be revisions necessary as a result of the audit. Responding to Dr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the audit is usually completed in November/December and that the Budget Ordinance is presented soon after. Dr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Budget Report for June 2011 as presented, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. APPOINTMENTS RECOMMENDED BY THE LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE CHAIR - SALARY AND BENEFITS COMPENSATION COMPARISON COMMITTEE Dr. McGlumphy, Chairman of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, submitted recommendations for appointments to the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee, as follows: 1) Richard Cook, 2) Tim Horne, 3) Mike Karia, 4) Alan Machtinger, and 5) Adam Perza. Dr. McGlumphy noted that a Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee was created earlier in the meeting, as recommended by the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and approved by City Council. Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the appointments to serve on the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee as submitted, seconded by Mrs. Williams. Mr. Lynn relayed concerns regarding the proposed appointees to the Committee. Due to the importance of the information to be collected by the Committee, he indicated a desire for an assurance that such information would be collected in a fair and even-handed manner. Noting that Mr. Horne’s resume was not provided, Mr. Lynn stated that the remaining resumes appeared to represent a very homogenous group of individuals. He indicated that no women nor African Americans were included and that all prospective members were ideologically aligned, with the exception of Mr. Machtinger. It was his feeling that these individuals were selected predicated on the belief that City workers make too much money, and that these five (5) individuals would present this same finding after reviewing the matter. Mr. Lynn suggested that this matter be delayed for two (2) weeks to allow members of Council to submit the names of additional potential appointees. He felt that this would ensure that the information collected and the findings of the Committee would be fair and balanced and would allow for Council to make impartial decisions. Otherwise, he felt that the membership of the Committee would be hand picked by certain individuals to mirror their own ideology.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 16 Mr. Lynn moved to table the matter for two (2) weeks and open up the appointment process to allow all Council members the opportunity to submit the names of prospective appointees. The motion failed by a roll call vote of four (4) no, four (4) yes (Mrs. Russell, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, and Mr. Leary), and one (1) absent (Mr. Hare). Mr. Anderson noted that the work of the Committee would be to conduct research rather than to create policy. Although he understood the concerns relayed by Mr. Lynn, based on the resumes provided, he felt that the members were qualified to serve. Mr. Anderson moved to amend the motion for approval of the appointments to serve on the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee as submitted to include two (2) additional members to be appointed by the Council President, for a total of seven (7) members. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar. Dr. McGlumphy expressed his disappointment with the comments regarding the possible partiality of the Committee. He explained that salary and compensation information was requested of staff in May and, due to the unprecedented work load, it was difficult for them to obtain the information in a timely manner. He explained that the Committee would be requested to provide specific information, without bias. It was his feeling that there was bias in the Management Advisory Group (MAG) and PAS Reports. On a call for the question by Mr. Hutchison, the motion to amend the motion for approval of the appointments to serve on the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee as submitted by adding two (2) additional members to be appointed by the Council President was unanimously carried. The motion for approval of the appointments of Mr. Richard Cook, Mr. Tim Horne, Mr. Mike Karia, Mr. Alan Machtinger, and Mr. Adam Perza to serve on the Salary and Benefits Compensation Comparison Committee and for two (2) additional members to be appointed by the Council President was unanimously carried. EVALUATION OF BIDS - SCADA MASTER HARDWARE REPLACEMENT Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, reminded members that the purpose of the System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is to monitor and control the Electric substations and the Wastewater lift stations. Staff recommended the replacement of the Master Station hardware, which is located in the Public Utilities Administration building and is the primary interface with the field facilities for the System Operators. He explained that the Master Station system is basically a proprietary, computer-based system that communicates with the Remote Terminal Unit field devices located in the substations and lift stations. The SCADA Master Station allows the operator to monitor and control devices in the City’s facilities. It monitors the Wastewater lift stations and provides the status of the pumps, generators, and electric service. It also communicates with the substations and provides load information, breaker status and control, and transformer loading and alarms. The system will alarm and notify the operator when the field devices are not performing within their designed parameters.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 17 Mr. Koenig advised members that the existing Master Station has reached its normal life expectancy of six (6) years and has experienced one (1) major failure over the past year. Staff recommended purchasing the SCADA Master hardware from the sole vendor, Siemens Energy, Inc., for a total amount of $71,560. Mrs. Williams moved for approval of staff’s recommendation for the purchase of the SCADA Master hardware from the sole vendor, Siemens Energy, Inc., for a total amount of $71,560. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Hare absent). EVALUATION OF BIDS - SUBSTATION PT & CT REPLACEMENT Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, advised members that the Substation PT and CT Replacement Project will allow for the replacement of aging metering/system protection equipment in the older substations. He explained that the equipment to be replaced includes the Potential Transformers (PTs), which measure the line voltage and reduce it to a voltage level the relays can interpret, and the Current Transformers (CTs), which reduce the current to a level that can be safely measured by the relays and meters, all of which provide electric system protection. Additionally, he stated that the lightning arrestors, which protect the equipment during lightning strikes, will be replaced. All of the existing components have exceeded their useful life and are subject to failure, which could be catastrophic. Mr. Koenig reminded members that two (2) years ago, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was let which included a requirement that the prices be firm for three (3) years. The City received proposals from three (3) vendors, and one (1) vendor included five (5) different options and manufacturers to choose from. Since this was an RFP, staff evaluated the seven (7) submissions based on the price, reputation of the product, compliance with specifications, and delivery. A point system analysis was performed by Engineering Division Staff to adequately and impartially evaluate the proposals, with the goal of providing the best product and serving the interests of the City of Dover. A summary of the evaluations for each item was provided to members. Members were provided a summary of the staff’s recommended purchases, as follows: Eval. Vendor Unit $ Quantity Total $ Score 69 KV PT HD Supply/Ritz $4,836.84 21 $101,573.64 117 69 KV CT 100/200:5 HD Supply/Ritz $4,473.68 9 $40,263.12 117 69 KV CT 150/300:5 HD Supply/Ritz $4,473.68 3 $13,421.04 117 15 KV PT Double HD Supply/GE 8 Bushing $656.75 $5,254.00 112 15 KV CT 1200:5 HD Supply/GE $782.65 3 $2,347.95 112 54 KV Lightning Arrestor HD Supply/Siemens $573.68 27 $15,489.36 103 9 KV lightning Arrestor HD Supply/Siemens $168.42 33 $5,557.86 110 Total Bid Award Value $183,906.97 Staff recommended awarding the proposals to HD Supply for the total amount of $183,906.97, as outlined in the table provided.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 18 Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding catastrophic situations, Mr. Steve Enss, Public Utilities Engineering Services and System Operations Supervisor, explained that the PTs and CTs are oil filled and, when reaching the end of their life, could potentially explode and cause a major outage. He stated that in these instances, the clean-up typically creates substantial costs. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to award the proposals for the Substation PT and CT Replacement to HD Supply for the total amount of $183,906.97 (as outlined in the table provided). The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Hare absent).

PETITION TO AMEND AND ZONING DISTRICT Public Hearing before the Dover City Council September 12, 2011 Applicant/Owner: Harrington Commercial, LLC Address: 601 Fulton Street, Dover Location: North side of Fulton Street between Ridgely Street and the railroad corridor Tax Parcel ID #: ED05-076.08-01-14.00-000 Size: 0.486 +/- acres (21,170 S.F.) Present Use: Ambulance services Proposed Use: Ambulance services/Contractor’s yard Comprehensive Plan Designation: Industrial Present Zoning: M (Manufacturing Zone) Proposed Zoning: C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) Recommendation of the Planning Commission: Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on August 15, 2011, where no members of the public spoke with regards to the application, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning request with seven members voting in favor and two members absent (7-0). File Number: Z-11-05

Z-11-05 Lands of Harrington Commercial Realty at 601 Fulton Street Report to City Council – September 12, 2011 Page 2 This rezoning application consists of one parcel of land, of approximately 0.486 acres, owned by Harrington Commercial Realty, LLC. The property is currently M (Manufacturing). The proposed zoning is C-3 (Service Commercial). The subject property is located on the north side of Fulton Street, directly west of the railroad tracks. Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-14.00-000. Existing Property: The property currently houses Prime Care Medical Transport ambulance service in the west side of the building. This was reviewed by the Planning Commission in November 2009 (C-09-08). The east side of the building consists of several garage bays that were not renovated or occupied along with the Prime Care location into this building. Surrounding Land Uses: There are a variety of zoning classifications surrounding the subject property, but all are industrial or light industrial in nature. The immediately adjacent property to the north and west is zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing). The property to the south across Fulton Street is zoned M (Manufacturing), as is the property to the east across the railroad tracks. There are several properties within the adjacent area that are zoned C-3 (Service Commercial). Comprehensive Plan: In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1 as amended, dated 3/14/2011) recommends that this property be used for Industrial and Public Utilities Uses. Both the existing and proposed zoning classifications are consistent with this land use classification, according to Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix. Request for C-3 (Service Commercial) The types of permitted uses in the C-3 (Service Commercial) are given Article 3 §15 of the Zoning Ordinance. The permitted uses include service establishments including dry cleaning and laundry plants; wholesale, storage, and warehousing establishments; bowling alleys, and animal hospitals; motor vehicle, boat or farm equipment sales or service; motor vehicle service stations with restrictions; manufacturing, assembling, converting, altering, finishing, cleaning or any other processing of products for sale on or off the premises, provided that not more than 25 persons shall be engaged in such activity; and provided further, that any such use shall be subject to the performance standards procedures as set forth in Article 5 §8; newspaper and job printing; and ministorage facilities with restrictions. Article 4, Section 4.15 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses the bulk standards for the C-3 Zone. The bulk standards are as follows: C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) Minimum required: Lot area Lot width (ft.) 100 Lot depth (ft.) 100 Front yard (ft.) 25

Z-11-05 Lands of Harrington Commercial Realty at 601 Fulton Street Report to City Council – September 12, 2011 Page 3 Side yard (ft.) 20 Rear yard (ft.) 10 Side or rear yards which adjoin a 30 residence zone (ft.) Off-street parking Per 300 sq. ft. floor area or 1 Per employee (whichever is greater) 1 Maximum permitted: Building height Stories 2 Feet 30 Floor area ratio 0.5 Lot coverage 0.5 Recommendation of the Planning Staff and Planning Commission: This request is to rezone land from M (Manufacturing) to C-3 (Service Commercial). Staff supports the applicant’s request, as the request is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan as amended, and there is other C-3 (Service Commercial) zoning in the surrounding area. The C- 3 (Service Commercial) and M (Manufacturing) zones allow for many of the same uses; however, all uses within the M (Manufacturing) zone are subject to Conditional Use approval by the Planning Commission. This recommendation was made prior to the opportunity for public comment. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on August 15, 2011, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended in favor of the rezoning request with seven members voting in favor and two members absent.

Z-11-05 Lands of Harrington Commercial Realty at 601 Fulton Street Report to City Council – September 12, 2011 Page 4 Excerpt from the Draft Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting of 8/15/2011: Z-11-05 Lands of Harrington Commercial at 601 Fulton Street – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council on a rezoning application consisting of one parcel of land totaling of 0.486 acres ±. The property is currently zoned M (Manufacturing Zone). The proposed zoning is C-3 (Service Commercial Zone). The subject property is located on the north side of Fulton Street between Ridgely Street and the railroad corridor. The owner of record is Harrington Commercial, LLC. The equitable owner is Michael J. Harrington, Sr. Property Address: 601 Fulton Street. Tax Parcel: ED05-076.08-01-14.00-000. Council District 4. Representative: Mr. Michael Harrington, Sr., Property Owner. Mrs. Townshend stated that this property currently houses the Prime Care Medical Transport operation that was reviewed in 2009 by the Planning Commission as a Conditional Use. The east side of the building consists of several garage bays that were not renovated or occupied as part of the Prime Care Medical Transport location at this site. Mrs. Townshend further described the zoning surrounding the property. Immediately adjacent there are properties that are zoned IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing) and M (Manufacturing). Directly adjacent across the railroad track is M (Manufacturing). There are a number of properties within the area that are not contiguous to this property that are zoned C-3 (Service Commercial) some of which have been recently zoned to that classification. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Industrial and Public Utilities uses. Both the current and the proposed zoning are consistent with this classification. Mrs. Townshend further stated that the primary difference between the zoning classifications is that the C-3 (Service Commercial) classification functions in many ways as a light industrial zone. The primary difference as it relates with some of the things happening in this area is if you read the M (Manufacturing) zone, all uses and the establishment of any use within the M zone requires Conditional Use approval by the Planning Commission. Where in the Service Commercial zone there are some uses that are permitted by right without a Conditional Use application. Mrs. Townshend further stated that Staff would recommend in favor of the rezoning. It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with the zoning and surrounding areas as it is a mix of Manufacturing, Industrial Park Manufacturing, and Service Commercial zoning. Many of the same uses are permitted in the M zone and the C-3 zone. It would be a matter of whether a Conditional Use application would be required to establish a use. Mr. Harrington stated that presently, the Prime Care Medical Transport is there and we had to go through a Conditional Use in order for them to move in there. They have four (4) garages there that are currently being used for storage; however, he has to apply for a Conditional Use to be able to use them for storage. It is awkward to have to go through this every time we want to rent a garage. It makes sense to approve this as C-3. Mr. Nichols asked if they were using this as a contractor’s yard, is this correct? Responding to Mr. Nichols, Mr. Harrington stated that yes, they are. Mr. Hemmig opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak closed the public hearing.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on August 22, 2011 at 5:01 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mrs. Williams (arrived at 5:10 p.m., departed at 5:15 p.m., and returned at 5:29 p.m.), Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Mr. Lynn was absent. Other members of Council present were Council President Leary and Dr. McGlumphy (arrived at 5:09 p.m.) . Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Snaman moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously carried. Discussion - Informational Presentation by Delaware Electric Cooperative During their meeting of June 27, 2011, members were provided an informational presentation by Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) on the Pros and Cons of DEC Purchasing the City of Dover Electric System. Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, presented a response to the DEC presentation explaining why Dover residents should continue to own the electric system. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Koenig explained that it was his understanding that DEC indicated in their presentation that the City’s rates could be reduced by approximately 25% if the utility were sold, based on the 2010 electric rates. He advised members that, since 2010, there have been two (2) power cost adjustments; therefore, he felt that the savings realized would be less than 25%. As to the benefits to the citizens of maintaining City ownership of the electric system, Mr. Koenig stated that this would allow the City to better control its future, since the City would have the ability to manage and plan the system through local officials and local talent and recover costs through the transfer of profits to the General Fund to help reduce the City’s property tax base. He noted that the City has an obligation to maintain competitive rates. Council President Leary reminded members that the City’s electric utility is an asset that allows the City to keep property taxes low, which was its initial purpose and continues today. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig confirmed that one (1) cent of property taxes equates to approximately $300,000. He noted that approximately $7M to $8M per year is transferred from the Electric Fund to balance the City’s budget and that it would be necessary to increase property taxes by approximately 25 cents to cover this cost if the utility were sold. Mr. Koenig stated this does not include income that would be generated by investing funds received from the sale. In regard to businesses, he advised members that it was his understanding that the City’s larger industrial customers are concerned with the 25% gap that DEC mentioned, since it affects their ability to compete in the industry. Mr. Koenig questioned if any of the losses or “contractions” of local businesses are directly attributable to the electric rate versus the decline in the economy. It was his feeling that during this difficult economic market, business losses occur for a variety of reasons.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 2 Ms. Judy Diogo, President, Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC), stated that the CDCC membership has indicated a desire for City Council to conduct a feasibility study to determine if it would be advantageous for the City to sell its electric system. She advised members that their current concerns are with the cost of conducting business and, since there has been an indication that there are potential savings, the membership would like for the issue to be investigated as thoroughly as possible. Mr. Bonar felt that in order for the Committee and City Council to make such a decision, a thorough, independent, and unbiased review would be necessary and that such a review should include what the utility means to the City, what is happening in this regard throughout the country and region, the effect of new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules, etc. He estimated that such a study would cost approximately $30,000 and noted that these funds are available in the Reserve Fund. Should the City be required to increase property taxes to offset monies lost from the Electric Fund, Mr. Bonar suggested that the increase could be offset by the income tax deduction permitted for property taxes. Until all information is obtained, he did not feel that a decision could be made and suggested that the Committee recommend that City Council approve further review of this matter. Mr. Snaman relayed concern with the figures quoted by DEC, stating that DEC did not have complete information regarding the cost of the City’s electricity, including the cost of assuming the City’s gas purchase contracts. Mrs. Williams reminded members that DEC provides only distribution and not generation. As a resident, she stated her appreciation for the current quick response time provided by the City, which would be lengthened if the utility was purchased by DEC. She also indicated a concern that the City’s ability to obtain “the best deal” would be compromised by not being an owner, explaining that, currently, there are companies who are willing to come to the City of Dover and build a plant at no cost to the City because the City owns an electric company and service and has land available. Mrs. Williams felt that being independent and self-sufficient in electricity is of primary importance and that if Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) went down, it would not result in a blackout for the City, since the City currently has the ability to generate its own electricity. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, confirmed that the City would be totally electrically self-sufficient in an emergency. He stated that the City’s current capacity is approximately 175 megawatts and that the peak for the City this past summer was 160 megawatts. Mr. Lunt advised members that, due to the age of the system, it would take apprxoimately eight (8) to ten (10) hours for the City to become totally self-sufficient in covering its entire service area; however, a portion of the load could be carried within half an hour with the 40 megawatt unit. This power would be dedicated to critical assets such as the hospital, certain water facilities, etc. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Lunt stated that the two (2) 17 megawatt units were built in the early 1960s, the 100 megawatt unit was built in early 1970s, and the cost of replacing them would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. He estimated that the two (2) 17 megawatt units are nearing the end of their life cycle, which he estimated would extend for approximately five (5) years.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 3 Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend that the City proceed with a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an independent study to be conducted by an entity that is not currently or planned to be associated with the City of Dover, the Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC), or any other local electric company, to determine the feasibility of the City remaining in the electric business, the possibility of getting out of the electric business, and the anticipated ramifications of either approach. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried. Discussion - Infrastructure Improvements to the Garrison Tract Members were advised that on August 3, 2011, senior City staff met with representatives of the Calpine Corporation to discuss the potential construction of a new power generation facility to be located on the Garrison Oak Tract and provided members with a summary status of the proposed project. Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, reviewed the outline provided by Calpine Corporation regarding the infrastructure update on the Garrison Energy Center development project (GEC), as follows: 1. GEC is anticipated to be a nominal 618 MW power generation facility which is planned to be built in two (2) phases (each nominally rated at 309 MW). Targeted commercial operation date for the first phase is June 1, 2015; 2. Updated permitting for GEC is underway as the project is being enhanced to employ a more energy efficient technology; 3. Calpine is presently in negotiations with Eastern Shore Natural Gas to bring natural gas to GEC and the Garrison Oak Technology Park via a new gas pipeline – presently anticipated to be a six (6) mile 16” lateral pipeline; 4. GEC’s electric interconnection process with PJM has been delayed by over three (3) months. Calpine expects to receive GEC’s System Impact Study from PJM by the end of September 5, 2011; and 5. Calpine is working with Becker Morgan to integrate GEC’s infrastructure requirements with those of the Garrison Oak Technology Park. Responding to Mr. Blakemen’s inquiry regarding Item# 2 - Updated Permitting, Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, stated that this reference is in regards to GEC’s plans to upgrade the generator from 150 to 300+ megawatts. No further action was taken by the Committee.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 4 Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Members were provided a “Preliminary” Project Tracking Report, as of June 30, 2011, for the Utility (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Referring to the Fox Hall Pump Station and Heatherfield Force Main Rerouting Projects, Mr. Ron Lunt, Public Utilities Director, stated that these projects are no longer “out to bid” but have been awarded to Teal Construction and that construction is anticipated to begin in September 2011. In addition, he noted that the SCADA Technology Equipment Upgrade Project has been completed. Mr. Lunt advised members that the Water Quality Improvement Projects that were scheduled for this upcoming year will be east of North State Street (Phase 2) and that staff has re-prioritized some projects, explaining that water and sewer line work will be performed in the area of Wesley College due to their Streetscape Project. In addition, due to the receipt of grant monies for paving New Street, staff plans to review the water infrastructure in this area. PACE/NAES Monthly Report (May and June) The PACE/NAES Monthly Reports for May and June 2011 were provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. Mr. Snaman moved to recommend acceptance of the PACE/NAES Monthly Reports for May and June 2011, seconded by Mr. Blakeman and unanimously carried. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:52 P.M. Respectfully submitted, David L. Bonar Chairman DLB/AC/jg/js/dd/tm S:\AGENDAS & MINUTES\Committee-Minutes\2011\08-22-2011 UTILITY.wpd

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on August 22, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:08 p.m.), Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Hare was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Russell (arrived at 6:29 p.m.), Mrs. Williams, and Council President Leary. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Dr. Jones moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of a Hiring Freeze for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review and approval of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It was suggested that there be a “standing” agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions and, if there were no positions to consider, the item could be removed. Dr. McGlumphy noted that there were no critical positions to consider. Review of Draft Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Members were advised that the Delaware State Housing Authority, the City of Wilmington, the City of Dover, and New Castle County have collaborated to prepare an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. As a federal entitlement community that receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City is required to certify that funds will be carried out and administered according to the Fair Housing Act, and that due diligence is made to affirmatively further fair housing. It was noted that HUD defines an impediment to fair housing choice as any actions, omissions, or decisions that restrict, or have the effect of restricting, the availability of housing choices based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the consulting firm of Mullin & Lonergan Associates (M&L) was contracted to conduct the Analysis of Impediments. The analysis included a review of each entitlement community’s laws, regulations, and administrative policies and procedures affecting the location, availability, and accessibility of housing. She stated that M&L has developed a Fair Housing Action Plan which outlines the impediments for Dover and provides recommendations and strategies in order for the City to meet fair housing goals. Mrs. Townshend explained that although Dover Housing Authority is a separate entity from the City, they have been included in this study because they are a federal entitlement community located within the City’s jurisdiction and will ultimately be responsible for addressing their impediments. Approval and implementation of the Fair Housing Action Plan will preserve the City’s eligibility for funding from HUD and protect the City in the event of litigation relating to fair housing. Mrs. Townshend and Mrs. Tracy Harvey, Community Development Director, reviewed a Presentation of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Attachment #1). Staff recommended approval of the report recommendations.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 2 In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the current definition of family, in this context, is “not more than five (5) unrelated people functioning as a household, not including a butler.” She explained that the difficulty is determining whether or not people are functioning as a household. Mrs. Townshend indicated that staff plans to conduct research on this topic and will submit an ordinance to redefine “family.” Mr. Anderson felt that there should not be any amendment that would hinder college students who are residing together from obtaining affordable housing, noting this is a very important industry for the City. Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Harvey advised members that 2012 timelines were provided for some of the Strategies to Address Impediments since the consultants felt that these measures could be implemented within one (1) year; however, others were assigned a later date for completion since the Comprehensive Plan will not be released until 2014. She noted that the consultants suggested a five (5) year timeframe for implementation of many of the strategies. Mrs. Townshend explained that she and Mrs. Harvey plan to set annual goals for achievement of the objectives listed. Dr. Jones moved to recommend approval of the report recommendations, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Discussion - Hotel/Motel Tax Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, stated that staff is beginning the preparation of the FY2013 Budget, which will begin July 1, 2012. As part of the process, staff will review potential revenue sources and expenses. Mr. Koenig noted that there was discussion during several Council Retreats regarding the possibility of instituting a hotel/motel tax for the City of Dover. As a result, staff conducted research on this topic. Mr. Koenig advised members that the State of Delaware, Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Wilmington, Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, and Dewey Beach have implemented some form of hotel/lodging tax. Title 30, Chapter 61, Lodging Tax, of the Delaware Code imposes an excise tax at the rate of 8% of the rent upon every occupancy of a room or rooms in a hotel, motel, or tourist home within the State. The proceeds from this tax are distributed as follows: 5% to the State General Fund, 1% to the Beach Preservation Program of the State Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, 1% annually is designated in the proportion in which it was collected to the duly established convention and visitors bureau in each county, and 1% to the Delaware Tourism Office. Mr. Koenig advised members that, in accordance with Title 22, Chapter 9 - Municipal User Tax, the State authorizes any municipality with a population greater than 50,000 to impose a lodging tax of no more than 3% of the rent, in addition to the amount imposed by the State, for any room or rooms in a hotel, motel, or tourist home (as defined in SS6101 of Title 30) located within the boundaries of the municipality. He stated that Wilmington uses this statute to levy a 2% tax. According to discussions with Mr. Robert Greco, Budget Director in Wilmington, he stated that the implementation of the tax did not have an impact on occupancy rates in the five (5) hotels in Wilmington. Mr. Greco stated that occupancy rates actually increased after the tax was implemented and revenue from this tax is approximately $500,000 per year. He noted that other municipalities recover the tax through a gross receipts business license tax.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 3 Mr. Koenig indicated that there are 22 hotels/motels within Dover corporate limits and complete information pertaining to the number of rooms and rates was obtained for 16 hotels/motels. In order to estimate the revenue that would be generated from a 1% or 2% hotel tax, staff polled the internet for room rates of the hotels/motels known to be in Dover’s corporate limits. Mr. Koenig noted that staff averaged the room rates for each hotel/motel and full occupancy for one (1) day was calculated. According to information from Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP (1958 to 1986) and Smith Travel Research (1987 to 2007), the average hotel occupancy rate in 2009 was projected to be over 58 %. Staff prepared estimates based on both a 50% and 25% occupancy rate for the city’s hotels/motels. Based on a 50% occupancy rate for the 16 hotels/motels, a 1% tax could yield approximately $426,000 in revenue for the City. A 2% tax could yield approximately $853,000. Based on a 25% occupancy rate, the estimated revenue is as follows: a 1% tax could yield approximately $213,000; a 2% tax could yield approximately $426,000. Mr. Koenig reviewed potential options for implementing a proposed tax, as follows: OPTION 1: Adopt the fee through ordinance as the beach area municipalities have. It appears that this may be considered a business license based on gross receipts. An option to consider may be changing the way Dover charges for hotel business licenses. Under the current method, the City of Dover charges a flat fee of $7 per room and $9 per suite. Based on our current revenue method, we receive approximately $15,869.90 annually. As stated above, our revenue estimates using a gross receipts tax method and depending on occupancy and a percentage of tax, would be between approximately $853,000 and $213,000. Adopting this method would not allow taxable entities to pass this charge onto lodgers without raising advertised fees. OPTION 2: Seek a change under State Code Title 22 through state legislation by removing the population requirement of 50,000. This would allow the tax for all municipalities in the State. The charge could be passed on to lodgers without raising hotel rates. This option would need to be pursued though our State representatives. In addition, Mr. Koenig stated that staff would recommend that a certain percentage of revenues received be dedicated to the Kent County Tourism Office. The percentage should be proportional to the reservation of revenue to the Delaware Tourism Office under the state excise tax. Dr. McGlumphy noted the receipt of correspondence regarding the issue of a hotel/motel tax (Attachment #2). Mr. Scott Kidner, Delaware Hotel Lodging Association, stated that there were several individuals present wishing to address members to explain why the Hotel Lodging Association, local businesses, and the hotel and lodging industries are opposed to a proposal to institute a hotel/motel tax in the City.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 4 Mr. George Fiorile, Chairman of the Delaware Hotel Lodging Association and Vice-President/General Manager of Dover Downs Hotel/Casino, advised members that Wilmington’s hotel/motel tax was enacted approximately six (6) years ago, at the height of the economic boom and before the recession. He also noted that the City of Wilmington regularly hosts many major Fortune 500 companies. Mr. Fiorile read a statement and provided members with an analysis conducted in 2008, as well as The Tax Institute Travel Report from April 2011 (Attachment #3). Mr. Gordon Basht, Director of Hotel Sales at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino, read a statement into the record (Attachment #4). Mr. Victor Schimp, General Manager of the Sheraton Dover Hotel and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, advised members that the hotel/motel tax issue is a critical issue to the industry and read a statement into the record (Attachment #5). Ms. Cindy Small, Executive Director of Kent County Tourism, noted that a letter has been submitted from the Board of Directors in opposition to the proposed tax (see Attachment #2). Referring to the amount of revenue projected for Rehoboth Beach ($720,000) and Bethany Beach ($892,000), she stated that these figures include taxes imposed on short-term rental units, which are completely different from hotels/motels; therefore, the data does not reflect an accurate comparison. Ms. Small noted that, according to the most recent data on visitation in Sussex County (beach resorts), only 30% of visitors actually stay in hotels and 70% in short-term rental units. In addition, she stated that for Fiscal Year 2010 and 2011, the 1% lodging tax for all of Kent County (not just the City of Dover) amounted to $254,862. She reminded members that during these difficult economic times, the hotel community is struggling to make ends meet and keep people employed. She urged members to consider all the information provided. Mr. Kishor Sheth, Owner of Super 8 and Fairfield Inn Hotels, explained the difficulty and costs associated with the hotel/motel business. He noted that many owners are leaving the hotel business and and that the closing of hotels in the City affects property taxes collected. In addition, Mr. Sheth reminded members that the Capital School District recently imposed a tax increase. He advised members of the many steps taken by owners in an attempt to save money. Mr. Sheth questioned where hotel/motel business owners are to obtain additional money to pay for the additional fees and cautioned members that many owners will be forced to leave the business. He requested that members reconsider the proposed action, noting that instituting such a tax may discourage entrepreneurs from considering Dover as a place to conduct business, and warned members of the ripple affect this could create in the community. Ms. Judy Diogo, President of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, noted that members have heard from the hotel community regarding the impact the proposal could have on them; however, she relayed concern with the impact the proposal could have on the City of Dover. She advised members that the Chamber feels that the proposal would provide a short-term gain with a long-term loss, explaining that many hotels/motels are already in financial trouble, which could affect the City’s property tax revenue, as well as gross sales tax. Ms. Diogo noted that the City is

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 22, 2011 PAGE 5 attempting to become an “A-Rated Community,” which will create a need to meet certain criteria and require a marketing campaign to change attitudes. She stated that it is the Chamber’s suggestion that the City partner with the hotel industry, which already has huge marketing budgets and does a good job in this regard. She felt that such a partnership would assist the City in achieving the desired “A” rating. Mr. Tom Smith, owner of Delaware Made, read a statement into the record (Attachment #6). Noting that there was no one else wishing to speak, Dr. McGlumphy suggested that anyone wishing to submit correspondence or further information do so. Mr. Bonar questioned the amount of funds brought into the City from the fees for hotel/motel licenses. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that, currently, approximately $15,000 is collected from 22 hotels. Mr. Bonar explained that the principal functions of City Council are to balance the budget and provide the best services possible. He indicated that one of Council’s additional purposes is to provide dialogue and new ideas, and that this suggestion was brought forward for this reason. Mr. Bonar requested that the members of the hotel/motel association consider that the City has a $5M deficit. He stated his feeling that raising hotel/motel taxes a minimal amount would be reasonable, versus having to increase property taxes by 15% to 20%. Although he understood the dilemma which has been created by the economic decline, City Council has the responsibility to balance the City’s budget, which will not be accomplished by cutting and laying off employees. Mr. Bonar stated that it would take a concerted citizen and business effort to assist in the balancing of the City’s budget. He stated that the proposed hotel/motel tax is just one possible means of raising additional revenue. Mr. Hutchison stated his strong opposition to a hotel/motel tax. He acknowledged that Council has critical issues that need to be addressed; however, it was his opinion that were other means to address the issues and that the City should “clean house” first. He felt that the hotel/motel industry has contributed greatly to the City’s success. Mr. Hutchison agreed that Council will have difficult decisions to make in the near future; however, he did not feel that an additional burden on the hotel/motel industry should be considered. Dr. Jones relayed her concurrence with Mr. Hutchison and suggested that City staff look within for possible savings. She thanked those individuals who addressed members and stated that, based on information provided, the City should conduct additional research into this matter. There was no recommendation submitted by the Committee. City Clerk’s Office Note: Due to time constraints, the remainder of the agenda items were deferred for consideration by the Committee during their next meeting.

ATTACHMENT #4 LF&A Committee Meeting of 08/22/2011 Good Evening- My name is Gordon Basht, Director of Sales at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. My role; along with my staff at Dover Downs is to find organizations such as Groups, Conventions, Corporations and Motorcoach Companies to come to Dover Downs and the CITY Dover. I am here tonight to discuss the disadvantages of imposing additional occupancy taxes on all of our groups and guests. Over the past few years we have been fortunate to finally place Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, Kent County, and the City of Dover, as the premiere destination for National and Regional Conferences/Conventions and the Motorcoach Market. Since starting at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, persuading these groups to select our location has not been an easy task. This is due primarily due to the following constraints that are forced upon us: Lack of Public Transportation No Commercial Airport or Regional Rail Service and Dover being classified as the 3rds tier destination

Overtime we have been able to show the value of selecting Dover Downs, Kent County and the city of Dover, by highlighting our  Attractions  History  Culture  Affordability  Friendly customer service,  Tax-Free shopping  AND most importantly our LOW Occupancy tax. With the state of the economy over the past several years, meeting planner and site selection committees have been scrutinizing every financial aspect involved in planning these events. For example here are some new and repeat conferences we were recently awarded PRIMARILY due to Delaware’s lower occupancy tax.  Mid-Atlantic College Stores- 300 room nights (Hyatt Chesapeake-13.5%)  Multiple District Lions- 535 Rooms (Salisbury, MD 13.5%)  Chrysler’s Mid-Atlantic Dealer Conference 400 room nights (Trump-Taj Mah 14%)  Baystate Pool Supply- 500 room nights (Mohegan Sun- 15 %)  New Jersey Campground Owners Conference 250 room nights (Caesars, Atlantic City 14 %)

 PennDel Affordable Housing Conference 350 Room nights (Valley Forge 9%) And not to mention, ONE of Delaware largest Conferences ...The International Arson Investigators Conference coming this April with 2340 rooms night. We were primarily selected over the Hershey Lodge (11%) due to our low occupancy tax. Now let’s look at the scenario when the state of DELAWARE IS SELECTED to be the host state, Enacting the additional tax will NOW persuade the planners to select hotels outside the City of Dover - who do not face the challenges listed above. In closing, as you can see by increasing the existing occupancy tax, will deter potential business opportunities in the Group/Convention Market. The planner will feel there are no benefits to come to Dover, Delaware, as they are enduring the same tax structure as they would if they selected a 1st or 2nd tier city, and not to mention they will still have to deal with the “transportation issue”. Thank you.

ATTACHMENT #5 LF&A Committee Meeting of 08/22/2011 Leg & Fin Committee Meeting City Hall 8/22/11 Speaking Points: • Good evening committee members, my name is Victor Schimp and I am the General Manager of the Sheraton Dover Hotel and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak before you tonight. • The CDCC is in strong opposition to a gross receipts tax or city hotel tax-the committee should have received a letter stating this opposition • Creates an unfair competitive disadvantage for the city hotels • Customers are extremely price sensitive when looking where to spend their disposable income • Dover is not a resort/metropolitan area where a city tax may or may not be warranted-we depend on being competitive with rates and low lodging taxes. • Dover does not have enough demand drivers to justify a city tax- we are not a resort, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. New York City, etc. • The Kent County lodging community has been experiencing the “perfect storm” for the last nearly four years-increased supply and decreased demand • Increased supply as a result of the post 911 long term military presence where new properties came on line • Decreased demand-the recession that began in late 2007 • Please look at the chart titled “Kent County Lodging Report 2006-2011” • OCC% ADR RevPar discussion...What is RevPar? • Based on these numbers why would the City consider taxing an industry already distressed and trying to keep their head above water. • Committee members... the lodging community implores you to reconsider and withdraw this gross receipts or city hotel tax immediately. Hotels and the constituents that work in them are depending on this committee to do the right thing for the sake of their jobs. • Thank you.

ATTACHMENT #6 LF&A Committee Meeting of 08/22/2011

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on August 24, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Russell (arrived at 5:14 p.m.) , Mr. Davis, and Mr. Hutchison. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Davis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. Updates The following updates were provided: Purchase of Collegian Property on Loockerman Street and North Street Parking Lot Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, and Mr. Gregg Moore, President, Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), reminded members that following the construction of the Dover Transit Center, the Metropolitan Planning Office (MPO) decided that a neighborhood study should be conducted to determine appropriate uses for properties surrounding the area. Mr. Moore stated that a Master Plan was completed for the entire downtown area. He indicated that several project sites were identified for improvement in the Master Plan, and presented information on the North Street Parking Lot and the Collegian Property located at 114, 116, 126, and 128 W. Loockerman Street. Mr. Moore noted that, currently, there are seven (7) different parking lots on North Street, separated by fences, with individual entrances and exits. He reviewed the North Street Parking Lot Consolidation - Concept Design and explained that by consolidating the seven (7) parking lots into one (1), 35 additional parking spaces would be made available downtown. In addition, he stated that it would be possible to install a sidewalk at the location to provide for pedestrian traffic. Mr. Moore provided members with an aerial map of North Street (Attachment #1), which depicted properties in the area. He advised members that the City leases property from Rudolph Von Croy to provide for permitted parking. Mr. Moore stated that there are 30-40 parking spaces available each day; however, he noted that the parking area is “hidden.” He stated that the consolidation project would provide an entrance to the parking lot off Bank Lane as well as North Street and provide more visibility for the parking lot. The project would allow for paving, landscaping, lighting, etc. Mr. Moore explained that this project would then allow the DDP to market the former Sears Building (20,000 sq. ft.) more effectively, noting that without available parking it would be challenging to find a viable user. He stated that the additional 35 parking spaces would benefit other businesses in the area as well. In conjunction with the Parking Lot Consolidation Project, Mr. Moore stated that it would be necessary to make improvements to North Street, which currently has inadequate sidewalks, lighting, and utilities. The desire is to install brick sidewalks, new curb gutters, new pathways, etc. to make North Street aesthetically pleasing and allow it to serve as another gateway to the City. In addition, Mr. Moore reviewed three (3) concept plans for the Collegian Property which would maintain pedestrian pathways from Loockerman Street to and from North Street. In reviewing Concept 3, he noted that, due to the number of vacant buildings in the downtown area, it would not be appropriate to construct additional buildings at this time. Therefore, Mr. Moore noted that

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 2 Concepts 1 and 2 would maintain pedestrian pathways and create a plaza for the community’s use until it becomes feasible to construct the building(s). He reiterated that the ultimate goal would be to construct buildings on the property. Mr. Neaton advised members that architectural and engineering Requests for Proposals (RFPs) have been issued for the entire project and are due to be returned by September 14, 2011. In addition, an RFP has been issued for legal advice for consolidation of the parking lots, with a return date of September 14, 2011. Once the RFPs are received, architecture and law firms will be selected to provide guidance on moving forward with the projects. Mr. Neaton stated that construction is anticipated to begin after the first of the year. He stated that staff is extremely excited about these projects and that they are the first steps toward real revitalization of the downtown area. Mr. Moore reminded members that the vacant building at 22-24 W. Loockerman Street, which was formerly occupied by W.T. Grant and consists of 20,000 sq. ft., was purchased by the DDP. He provided members with a sketch (Attachment #2) of suggested upgrades to the building being proposed by the DDP in an attempt to make the property more appealing, including refacing the rear of the building to become the front entrance. Mr. Moore felt that the improvements to the building, the parking lots, and North Street would make the property more marketable to businesses. He noted that although this project is not a part of the $3M that the DDP received through the FY 2012 State Bond Bill to finance area improvements, it is a part of the overall plan to make investments in the heart of downtown in an effort to upgrade Loockerman Street and The Green, and to improve parking. In addition, Mr. Moore explained how the proposed upgrades would “invite” Wesley College students and their parents to the downtown area by providing a passageway. He advised members that the Frear Building was recently purchased by Wesley College to be used as their nursing school. The plan would allow for pedestrian traffic between the college and the Frear Building and bring people to the downtown area. Chairman Hutchison relayed his appreciation for the dedication and enthusiasm of those working on the proposed project and urged members to support these plans for the betterment of the community. Sex Offender Unit Police Chief James Hosfelt reviewed a Presentation of the Sex Offender Mandates & Reporting Requirements for the City of Dover (Attachment #3), noting that there were currently 221 registered offenders in the City, which included an increase of 14 since the beginning of month. He noted that there are two (2) police officers assigned to the Sex Offender Unit whose sole responsibility is to manage and supervise sex offenders. Mr. Koenig questioned if there was data available on programs implemented by other states to manage the sex offender registry. He inquired if there were any other options that would alleviate the use of certified police officers. Responding, Police Chief Hosfelt stated that other states utilize the Dover Police Department program as a model. He noted that the Delaware State Police currently

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 3 utilize retired police officers as civilian Sex Offender Agents due to the need to carry a badge and gun. Chief Hosfelt explained that arrest powers for these individuals are limited to crimes involving sex offenses. Dover High School Construction Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, advised members that several City Staff members, along with representatives of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, and EDiS recently met to review the current status of the Dover High School construction. He stated that Capital School District is currently working on some issues related to the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and the Soil Intrusion Control Program. Mr. Koenig indicated that work has begun on underground utilities and the foundation package has been let. An agreement with DelDOT and the City is being discussed to issue a “foundation only” permit in October in order to allow for work during the winter months on the foundation before setting steel in the spring. Mr. Koenig noted that there are several issues that remain to be resolved related to the road design, an adjacent apartment complex, and coordination of responsibilities. He stated that, as a result, a complicated series of discussions would be held and relayed appreciation for the quarterly coordination meetings. Although the completion of the project is not anticipated until 2014, Mr. Koenig indicated that it is important for certain milestones to be met this fall in order to remain on schedule and noted that there are third parties involved who could impact the schedule. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that if the foundation is not started this fall, it would set back the opening of the school another school year; therefore, the City of Dover and DelDOT are trying to be very helpful, while at the same time assuring that authorizations are not issued too far in advance. Responding to Chairman Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that coordination meetings are being held quarterly involving this project, as well as additional monthly meetings as needed. In response to Mr. Davis, Chairman Hutchison suggested that staff present information on the project milestones to the Committee as they are met so that Council can be informed. Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects - Gary Laing Due to the absence of Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) , Mr. Scott Koenig, Interim City Manager, provided a briefing on DelDOT Projects, as follows: West Dover Connector Mr. Koenig stated that, to his knowledge, DelDOT is working on the preliminary engineering for the West Dover Connector and that approximately $5M has been budgeted for the planning and preliminary engineering for this project.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 4 Route 8 and Hazlettville Road Corridor Mr. Koenig stated that DelDOT has held preliminary meetings on the Route 8 and Hazlettville Road Corridor Project. Mr. James Galvin, Principal Planner, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), indicated that DelDOT has amended the Dover MPO 2012-2015 Transportation Improvement Program to include the Hazlettville/Route 8 Connector; therefore, funding has been allocated to the project and it is planned for completion in 2015. Water Street Railroad Crossover Mr. Koenig stated that the Water Street Railroad Crossover is a concept plan to extend Water Street across the railroad into the Eden Hill area. He indicated that it would be difficult to move forward with this project due to Conrail’s strict policy that one (1) or more railroad crossings must be surrendered in order to obtain an additional crossing. Mr. Koenig noted that there are no crossings in the City that could be easily eliminated. He stated that he believed that this project would only be considered if a commuter rail service were proposed in the future in the area of the Dover Transit Center. Wyoming Mill Road Project Mr. Koenig advised members that work has begun on the Wyoming Mill Road Project and it is hoped that paving will begin within the next month. Transit Center Mr. Koenig stated that, to his knowledge, Requests for Proposals (RFPs) were solicited for the Transit Center building project and he had no further information regarding this project. Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects - Richard Vetter Mr. Richard Vetter, Executive Director of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), reminded members that the Regional Bicycle Plan for 2030 was developed as a by-product of the Dover/Kent MPO Long-Range Transportation Plan. He reviewed both the Off-Road and On-Road Project Recommendations (Attachments #4 and #5). Mr. Vetter stated that the public comment period for these recommendations has been completed. In addition, he provided members with a 2011 Bicycle Map for Kent County Delaware issued by DelDOT that lists challenging areas, primary routes, regional routes, etc. Mr. Vetter also provided members with Map 5-2 from the Transportation Improvement Districts Study (Attachment #6) and explained that the MPO is coordinating with Kent County and DelDOT to review transportation improvement districts in an attempt to develop a Master Plan. He noted that the only area involving the City of Dover is a relatively small area located in the southern portion of the Cheswold Plan. He anticipated the Study would take one (1) year to complete.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 5 Proposed Ordinance #2011-22 - Chapter 106 - Traffic and Vehicles, Article III - Stopping, Standing and Parking, Division 2 - Metered Parking Related to Immobilization of Vehicles Members were provided Proposed Ordinance #2011-22, which would allow the Police Department to use a device to immobilize a vehicle that has unpaid parking tickets exceeding $200 that are 30 days past due. Lt. Alan Rachko, Special Enforcement Unit Commander, advised members that the Dover Police Department has accumulated over $226,000 in uncollected parking fines over the last two (2) years (July 15, 2009 through July 15, 2011). From January 2011 through July 2011 the Dover Police Department wrote $82,595 in parking fines. He stated that past methods for recovering this money have had little success and have required valuable work hours by police officers which could be used elsewhere. Lt. Rachko noted that current procedure provides for a collection agency to be used in an attempt to recoup these fines; however, this has met with little success. He noted that there are six (6) individuals who owe over $1,000 in fines, two (2) that owe $3,700 and $3,300, an additional seven (7) individuals who owe over $500, and 35 individuals who owe in excess of $200. Lt. Rachko stated that he met with members of the Dewey Beach Police Department who use vehicle immobilization, which is commonly known as “a parking boot,” for such problems. They indicated that this has allowed them to recover a large percentage of fines with less impact on the workforce and that the boot takes just minutes to install and to remove. Lt. Rachko advised members that this tool is used across the country by municipalities to collect monies owed to them and that the Wilmington Police Department has used these devices for years with great success. It was his opinion that the use of this tool by the City of Dover would allow the Dover Police Department to recover a large portion of overdue fines owed with little impact on the department’s staffing and, as the public becomes aware of this tool, it will act as a deterrent and the amount of unpaid fines will decrease. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-22 which would allow the Police Department to use a device to immobilize a vehicle that has unpaid parking tickets exceeding $200 that are 30 days past due. Lt. Rachko provided members with the warning notice provided by Dewey Beach when the parking boot is utilized (Attachment #7). Responding to Chairman Hutchison, Police Chief James Hosfelt stated that the cost of a parking boot is less than $700. Lt. Rachko stated that there are grant funds available for the purchase cost of the parking boots; therefore, there should be no cost to the City. It was anticipated that five (5) parking boots would be necessary. Lt. Rachko assured members that, if approved, there would be ample notification of the change to alert the public to the use of the parking boot. Mr. Lynn moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2011-22 (Attachment #8) that would allow the Police Department to use a device to immobilize a vehicle that has unpaid parking tickets exceeding $200 that are 30 days past due. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Russell and unanimously carried.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 6 Discussion - Alcohol Control Measurers (Referred back to Staff during the Meeting of April 27, 2011 to Conduct Further Research) During their meeting of April 27, 2011, members discussed various alcohol control measures to address concerns related to alcohol misuse in the Downtown Dover area and, after much discussion, referred the matter back to staff for further research. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that consideration of developing alcohol control measures was the result of problems that primarily involved one (1) establishment located in the downtown area. After several meetings with the business community, she stated that it was apparent that there was clearly no appetite for additional regulations in this regard. Mrs. Townshend stated that it was the sense of the business community that if the City were to institute such regulations, it would penalize those who are conducting business correctly. She reminded members that there were volunteers who agreed to meet to develop a brochure of “responsible management practices;” however, the City has been unsuccessful in having the volunteers meet and the business community prefers that the City handle these problems within the framework that is currently available rather than addressing all businesses. Mrs. Townshend stated that the Division of Tobacco and Alcohol Enforcement has relocated their headquarters from New Castle County to the City of Dover and it was her understanding that they have a desire to work with the City to address problems as they arise. Police Chief James Hosfelt stated that it is hoped that with the headquarters being close, there will be greater cooperation by the Division of Tobacco and Alcohol Enforcement. Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that each year, City Council develops a list of transportation priorities and shares these priorities with the Secretary of Transportation for consideration as the Department of Transportation develops the State’s Capital Transportation Plan (CTP). Members were provided a copy of last year’s transportation priorities, as approved by City Council on October 11, 2010. Upon reviewing last years’ approved priorities, staff submitted the following priority ranking for the coming year. 1. West Dover Connector 2. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector (formerly identified as North/South Road between Route 8 and Hazlettville Road on the West Side of the Capital School District Property and the Village of Cannon Mills) 3. Garrison Oak Connector Road 4. Dover Transit Hub (Intermodal Transportation Center) – This represents the building associated with the Dover Transit Hub, which will be constructed as a public/private partnership. 5. Loockerman Street/Forest Street Improvements 6. US Route 13 Service Road Corridor 7. US Route 13 Sidewalk Construction 8. Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades 9. College Road Corridor Upgrades 10. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 7 Mrs. Townshend noted that last year, a prioritization list of programs and policies was also included; however, staff did not recommend that a ranking of programs and policies be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for the coming year. Mr. Hutchison moved to recommend approval of the Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. There being no further business, by unanimous consent, the meeting was adjourned. Meeting Adjourned at 6:07 P.M. James L.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Legislative and Finance Committee DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Fire Marshal’s Office DATE SUBMITTED: August 1. 2011 PREPARED BY: David Truax - Fire Marshal SUBJECT: Law Enforcement Training REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: Director of Planning & Community Development, Interim City Manager, City Controller EXHIBITS: Letters from Office of the Attorney General and Dover Police Chief, Summary of Cost Savings EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ 2,500 for training & $1,300 for equipment AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ 0 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept. /Page in CIP & Budget): Staff proposes that funds be transferred within the FY 2012 Life Safety operating budget. Funds would be transferred from Safety & Security 110-1600-531.20-32 to Training 110-1600-531.30-28 TIMETABLE: As soon as an academy class opens up (Fall 2011). RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the Committee support sending a deputy fire marshal to Police Academy Training. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS For the past 15 years the Fire Marshal’s office has relied on Dover Police Department to assist with fires that have been determined to be of a criminal nature. The reason for this is that Fire Marshals for the City do not have law enforcement powers. State Fire Marshals and City of Wilmington Fire Marshals do have these powers. The first paid Fire Marshal for the City of Dover Jack Rowe was with the city police prior to being appointed Fire Marshal and Fire Marshal Jimmy Melvin was given police powers though a Dover Police training academy in 1991. Although the present joint investigation method has served the city well in past years, the complexity and time needed to make an arrest for the crime of arson is making this system cumbersome. Based on the cost of overtime for a Dover police detective, with approximately 8 to 10 responses to fire calls each year, we estimate a savings of approximately $3,000 per year in Police Department overtime should a deputy fire marshal be granted police power. The training cost is estimated at $2,500, and the equipment cost is estimated at $1,300. The deputy fire marshal with police training would be able to participate in training offered by the Police Department to maintain the police certification with no additional cost to the City. There are no promotions, upgrades, or anticipated increases in salary associated with this training. In addition to the overtime savings, Fire Marshals having law enforcement powers would allow for the Fire Marshal’s Office to conduct a criminal fire investigation through to the end, free up Dover Police Department from having to conduct criminal fire investigations, and ensure public safety by conducting thorough investigations.

FIRE MARSHAL Dave Truax Fire Marshal PHONE: (302) 736-7011 FAX: (302) 736-4217 DEPUTY FIRE MARSHALS Sam Gonzalez Ed Graves Tim Mullaney Here is the number of times Dover PD Patrol assisted the FMO during a fire investigation. They are the first to arrive on scene and start gathering witnesses and suspect’s information in not so nice areas of the City. They remain on scene as security for the Fire Marshals as they are not armed. A Patrol Officer with 2 years of experience makes $22 an hour. The average time spent assisting us on a fire scene is about 1 hour. 2006 87x $22 =$1,914 2007 88x $22 =$1,936 2008 87x $22= $1,914 2009 66x $22= $1,452 2010 66x $22+ $1,452 The CI “Criminal Investigations” Unit assists the FMO about 8 to 10 times a year. This is never the same each year as the FMO is busier some years than others. The lowest Detective paid is around $50 an hour. The average amount of time that a Detective puts into the average case is about 4-6 hours; 6x$50= $300 per case. $300 x 10=$3,000. The average money spent per year for assists by Patrol Units is $1,733.60 + $3,000= $4,733.60. I have tried to use the lowest numbers for pay. The bigger the fire, the more time Patrol and CI have to invest; however, I think it would be safe to say that by providing Fire Marshal Law Enforcement Training, it could save about $4,000 a year. The cost of the training is an average of $2,500 and includes the following: Training Cost Physician $ 500 Psychiatric Test $ 180 Food (State Police Academy) $1,100 PT Clothing $ 320 Uniform $ 400 Total $2,500 P.O.

The subject, who matched the description given by witnesses, was stopped on Lincoln Street by a Dover Patrol Officer and was later positively identified. The subject was arrested at his home and charged with Robbery 2nd, 4 counts of Burglary 2nd, 1 count of Attempted Burglary 2nd, 5 counts of Criminal Mischief, and 4 counts of Theft. The subject apparently targeted elderly female residents and would force open doors or break windows to gain entry. Once inside he would remove various property including televisions, jewelry and prescription medications. One of the female victims was confronted by the subject inside her residence and he demanded money, which resulted in the Robbery 2nd charge. This ongoing investigation involved numerous man hours including additional patrols and stakeouts in the area of the Sherwood Development, which were funded through the Chief’s Discretionary Fund, as approved by city council earlier this year. ♦ On July 5, 2011, the Dover Patrol Officers responded to an alarm at a business, located on North DuPont Highway. Upon arrival officers found damage to the south side glass door and entry had been made by the suspect, who then pried open the pool table coin deposits and removed money. Approximately 15 minutes later, Dover Police received a report of a subject attempting to break the glass at a gas station, also located on North DuPont Highway. The subject fled on foot as officers were arriving on scene but was apprehended by Dover Police K-9 “Spike”. The subject was treated for dog bite injuries and released from BayHealth Hospital. The subject had smashed the front door glass out of the gas station and had also cut the phone lines. A further check by officers of businesses in the area revealed the phone line had been cut at two nearby businesses with pry marks on the rear doors. Early the next morning, officers responded to another business located on North DuPont Highway, where employees observed phone lines were also cut. The subject was charged with one count of Burglary, as well as four counts of Attempted Burglary and other related charges. ♦ The Dover Officers are investigating a series of thefts which occurred at local business between May 6, 2011 and June 17, 2011. During this period numerous pairs of designer eyeglass frames, including Prada, Versace, and Dolce and Gabbana were removed. These frames range in value from $190.00-$270.00. A total value of over $3000.00 has been stolen from the business. The most recent occurred on June 17, 2011, in which surveillance captured two black male suspects entering the business and removing items from same. They were described as 30-40 years of age, both with shaved heads, one wearing a blue shirt and the other an orange shirt.

Report to Mayor and Council July 2011 Page 4 Major crimes and activities that occurred during the month of July continued: ♦ The Dover Police Criminal Investigations Unit has arrested a 57 year old male for two counts of unlawful sexual contact. The subject was arrested on July 12, 2011 without incident. The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred at a business located on North DuPont Highway on July 7, 2011. The 15 year old male victim was in the restroom at the urinal when he was approached by the subject, who stood next to him. Both the victim and the subject then went to the sink to wash their hands. At that time the subject touched the victim’s genitals through his clothing. The victim was stunned at which time the subject again touched him through his clothing. The victim then yelled at the subject and exited the bathroom and located his parent. The subject was contacted and identified. At the conclusion of the investigation, the subject was charged. ♦ The Dover Police Criminal Investigation Unit has made an arrest in a string of residential and commercial burglaries that have occurred since February 2011. The arrest was a result of a witness who reported seeing a man leaving a residence on North West Street, carrying boxes. The witness observed the suspect enter his own residence in on North West Street. The subject was later contacted at his residence and was taken into custody. A search of his residence revealed three stolen firearms, household and electronic items, a small amount of marijuana, numerous prescription pills to include Vicodin, Tylenol w/Codeine and numerous other pills. These firearms, household items, electronic items, and pills were stolen from the numerous victims. As a result of the investigation, nine Burglaries/Thefts/Trespass Complaints in Dover were cleared. ♦ On July 14, 2011, Detectives arrested a subject at his residence for an outstanding robbery warrant for an incident which occurred on July 5, 2011. The subject and another suspect robbed a 47 year old male subject who was attempting to purchase drugs from them. During a search of subject’s residence officers located the .32 caliber handgun that was used during the robbery as well as 30.5 grams of cocaine, and 44.2 grams of marijuana. ♦ Detectives are investigating the robbery of a pharmacy located on South State Street. The robbery occurred on Tuesday, July 19, 2011, when an unknown white male suspect entered the store and walked to the pharmacy. The suspect then handed the pharmacy technician a robbery note. The note demanded that the technician give the suspect narcotic pills. The suspect obtained an undisclosed number of narcotic pills and fled the store on foot to an unknown location. ♦ On July 21, 2011, Officers arrested a subject for Burglary 2 nd and Stalking after he entered his ex- girlfriend’s residence through an unsecured rear door. He was confronted by a friend of the victim and left but was later seen hiding behind a car in the driveway. ♦ Officers are investigating an assault that took place on July 21, 2011. The 50 year old male victim was found unconscious and laying partially in the roadway in front of a residence on Cecil Street suffering from head injuries. He was transported to BayHealth then flown to Christiana Hospital where he has been listed as Critical but Stable condition. ♦ The Criminal Investigations Unit investigated a double homicide which occurred at a residence on North Governors Avenue sometime between Saturday morning July 23, 2011 and Monday morning July 25, 2011. A family member found both of the victims deceased inside and immediately phoned 911. The unknown suspect had apparently forced entry into the residence and both victims were killed during the encounter. On July 25, 2011, Detectives arrested a subject for two counts of Murder in the First Degree, and other related charges stemming from the double homicide. Investigators were able to develop the subject as a suspect shortly after the bodies were located. The investigation led to a search warrant of the subject’s residence in which physical evidence was recovered. Subject was also charged with an additional burglary which occurred on North Bradford Street during the same timeframe. ♦ On Thursday July 28, 2011, Patrol Officers responded to an alarm at a business located on South Queen Street and upon arrival discovered a broken window to the business. Investigation revealed that a subject had removed a bottle of water from inside. Surveillance footage captured images of the subject inside the business and he was apprehended several hours later by Dover Patrol Officers. Respectfully Submitted, James E. Hosfelt, Jr. Chief of Police
