Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 3 Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Review of Active Recreation Area Plan - Dover Apartments on Leipsic Road (Planning Reference #S- 22-09) (Dawn Melson- Williams, Interim City Planner) Mrs. Dawn- Melson Williams, Interim City Planner, and K. James Taylor, Jr., Engineer, Verdantas, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the review of the Active Recreation Plan. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor stated the property was located on Leipsic Road across from the Home Depot. Mr. Neil request attention be paid to the effect on the traffic the apartment complex will have on the rural road of Leipsic, Persimmon Tree Lane, Route 9, and particularly the Traffic chaos during NASCAR and Firefly, when access is blocked off from those roads to Route 13. Mr. Neil explained as someone who lives through that traffic nightmare, that in planning for these 216 apartments they must consider the roads and traffic patterns that will be strained under normal conditions and become a critical nightmare for area residents, including the apartment tenants, and event attendees during these two major Dover events each year. Mr. Neil requested the Planning Department to bring it to the attention of the Planning Commission and wants to see the results when it comes before the Council for final approval. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor stated they are currently going through the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) process with DelDOT. Mr. Taylor stated the only intersection that was identified for them to study was the intersection of 13 and Leipsic Road, because most of the traffic, is not going to go right down Leipsic Road towards Persimmon Tree Lane. Most traffic will be going left towards Route 13. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor explained the recreation facilities are specifically for the residents of the apartments. Therefore, in design and planning, the recreation amenities are located at the back of the property. Mr. Taylor further explained that the shared use path going around the outside property is to encourage spectators and participants of NASCAR and Firefly to walk around the property and not through. Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that a car wash station is the first time it has been offered as an amenity in new construction. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated she would be looking at the code to see if the car wash station could be counted as a recreational amenity. Mrs. Melson- Williams also mentioned, that if the car wash station does not count as a recreational amenity it will not affect the square footage by much because it is the size of a large parking space. Responding to Mr. Anderson Mr. Joe Dopsovic, Metropolitan Companies, explained Page 8

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 4 the dog park will include waste stations, four benches, grass, and a dog wash station that is connected to the clubhouse.

Request for Direction to Ain in Retention of Emergency Dispatchers (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department, and Chief David Carey, Dover Fire Department) Chief Johnson stated the market continues to shift, and the competition for dispatchers has accelerated exponentially in recent weeks. Chief Johnson explained it is an issue of resources and salaries. Chief Johnson further explained he became aware that several of the members of his current Emergency Communications Center had begun to immediately explore other options that were being advertised in real-time. Chief Johnson stated the Police Department is the beginning of Dover's success, with their ability to provide safety and security. He is submitting to council that the glue that holds the Police Department together, all divisions, all sections, all units, and the first point of contact with stakeholder groups everywhere within the span of the greater Dover area is the 911 center. Chief Johnson explained they take the calls, they recognize situations, they communicate, and they make the rest of the organization. Chief Johnson stated he got down a path for a significant distance, but it had to stop on maybe crafting a solution because it became clear that there were significant legal and labor issues that had to be addressed. He stated the Police Department is not in an immediate crisis if Council does not do this. Chief Johnson requested through this informational session, that they start to come up with the framework of a plan that will inspire not only the confidence of a group of very dedicated employees that are in an immediate situation who have options but also at the same time, perhaps send Page 13

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 9 that message farther and wider. Chief Johnson stated the last three individuals that attempted to orient and onboard the 911 communication center, all came from non-public safety backgrounds, could not make the transition, and all resigned within 8 to 10 weeks. Chief Johnson explained if the city is going to continue to build the communication center into a center that can handle the growing volume in the City of Dover as currently constructed and import the important matter of monitoring cameras to get into the business of proactively directing police resources, to areas before trouble has a chance to turn into felonies and injuries. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson explained there is a national shortage of dispatchers. Chief Johnson stated in the direct competitors in Delaware, that the City of Dover is $10,000 to $15,000 annually behind the curve on current salaries. Chief Johnson further explained the City of Newark is paying their dispatchers $53,000 a year with no healthcare contribution, and pension. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Carey stated over the past two years, the fire department has lost eight dispatchers, it's a revolving door. The main complaints are lack of compensation and lack of a pension. Chief Carey further explained the fire department just lost a very good dispatcher to Kent Center for $2 an hour more than what our starting rate is at Dover. Chief Carey explained the Fire Department is in a crisis they have a staff of three out of five. Chief Carey further explained fire dispatchers are currently working 24/48s, which means they're working 24 hours on, 48 hours off. Chief Carey stated they are working 66 hours a week, and do not get vacation unless they can find coverage for it. Chief Carey expressed that the fire dispatchers are dedicated employees that are there for the mission, and they need help financially and compensation throughout some sort of a retirement program better than what they have. Chief Carey stated this is not the first time trying to get the fire dispatcher’s pay increased. He explained when contract negotiations were open, he asked for a gradual increase through the union and that did not happen. Chief Carey further explained he recently had a conversation with City Manager, Dave Hugg about fire dispatchers’ compensation, as well as part-time dispatchers, that are making $14 an hour that could go to another fire department and sleep all day, not take one run, and make $16 or $18 an hour. Chief Carey stated the fire dispatchers have not received that increase either, and it makes it very difficult to recruit dispatchers when there's a lack of compensation on the full-time and part-time side for us. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Carey stated the last time the police department t dispatchers were upgraded to a grade 18, which was about 15 years ago, the fire Page 14

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 10 dispatchers weren't included. So, it's been several years since a pay increase was received. Mr. Neil stated he is committed to both departments being able to receive a pay increase and hopes it would be parity. Mr. Neil stated he did not believe it is any question it has to be paid, because having an inexperienced dispatcher in either department could turn out to be a disaster for the city. Chief Johnson stated the on boarding process is from the time a position is declared open, and they make their first advertisement, hiring, on boarding, training, and to the point where somebody working in the police department dispatch center, that is a minimum of an 18-month journey. Chief Johnson noted it is a long lead-in window to get somebody that'll stick and can be effective. Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Johnson stated his understanding of unions is that the way the rules are set up, the entire bargaining unit would have to ratify any decision that was made because the salary scale is incorporated by reference into the contract. Chief Johnson explained that even the leadership of the union, could negotiate something in good faith, but they would have to go back to the entire Dover Organization of Employees (DOE) Union for a vote on whether they were going to approve whatever package that the city would come up with. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated the city cannot go in and make a unilateral decision to affect one class of employees that are covered by the union. Mr. Hugg stated the city does have a significant financial issue in terms of timing and amounts, that must be considered as a part of the process. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that the closing balance of a fiscal year becomes the opening balance of the next fiscal year. That balance is subject to things like the 8% rule that must be set aside for reserves, and council was reluctant to make a change there. In the last set of discussions with the budget for next year, I would also remind council that you added additional positions that were not budgeted in the city manager’s proposal. Mr. Hugg explained a budget is constantly in flux, and as it gets to the end of a budget year, final bills, balances, and sometimes there are additional revenues. Mr. Hugg stated it is easier to deal with the financial impact if it is spread out over two periods, four periods, or monthly. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Chief Carey stated it takes six to eight weeks to train a fire dispatcher. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Chief Carey stated merging both departments would be detrimental to the Fire Department. Chief Carey explained the fire dispatchers handle more than just dispatching, they are the heartbeat of the fire department. Chief Carey further explained fire dispatchers have taken over a lot of management positions in Page 15

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 11 the fire department over the past two years. They maintain personnel records for 213 members, as far as their training is concerned. They keep track of the inventory of 180 sets of gear and make sure they're National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) compliant, as well as the hose and aerial testing that are done on an annual basis. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated they could use the money allocated for the additional police officers for dispatchers. Chief Johnson stated he may not want to wait an entire year to fill the positions of the two new officers. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Carey stated fire dispatchers do their Emergency Fire Dispatch Training online and it costs $395 a person. Chief Carey stated that it would cost $900 in training to fill the vacant positions. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Matt Carey, the 911 supervisor for Dover Police Department stated it costs $365 to achieve an emergency police dispatch certification, which new hires are required to do within the first six months of their employment. The certification is recognized by the International Academy of Dispatch. The City of Dover Call Center is a 911 PSAP, which is a public safety answering point for the city of Dover. They receive all 911 calls, whether it be through the internet, land line, or cellular phone text messaging, that all come to the Dover Police Department. Mr. Carey stated to be fully staffed at 14 is great and hopefully have more in the future. However, if he loses his best 11, that is s cost he does not want to take. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Matthew Brown of the DOE Union gave the background of what has been going on from a Union standpoint. Mr. Brown stated Chief Johnson reached out to him last Thursday with some urgency. Mr. Brown explained that Chief Johnson sold him on the urgency and within a few hours, they had tried to figure out how to handle it. Mr. Brown stated he then reached out to DOE counsel to find out the next steps. Under the advice of counsel, they had to physically open the contract, they can limit it to certain things to open it for. Recognizing the need, within two hours Mr. Brown had convened the executive board, who can authorize to open the contract for that, which Mr. Hugg and a few other individuals received an email from the Union on Friday morning, offering to open the contract for the purpose of compensation of DOE employee unions, which include all the dispatcher’s fire and police. Mr. Brown stated he had other conversations between Chief Johnson, Chief Carey, and Mr. Hugg and believes there can be agreements made, which gives them immediate relief for what they may need to do, as well as a long-term plan for other items that may come up with compensation, whether it be pension or healthcare, whatever it may be. Mr. Brown explained at that point, their offer was on the table, they limited it to just the city and the union, under normal negotiations. Mr. Brown further explained if the city and union can't agree an arbitrator can be assigned, and Page 16

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 12 we go to chancery court. Mr. Brown explained the DOE Union is not interested in going through all those steps. Mr. Brown stated he believes everybody has recognized the need for what is being discussed, and most of the union does as well. Mr. Brown further explained it is not his decision to make, he cannot authorize it, so once negotiations are complete, the Union could meet three or four days later, to ratify it and the City Council would ratify it as well. Mayor Christiansen stated the State Police Headquarters is closing its regional communication center in New Castle. Mayor Christiansen explained that the group will transfer to the Kent Center. Mayor Christiansen believes the city will be up against competition for dispatchers. Mayor Christiansen reminded members of council that Governor Carney has a pending budget at Legislative Hall that proposes substantial pay increases for all State of Delaware Employees. Mayor Christiansen also stated growing municipalities like Smyrna, Middletown, and Milford are far exceeding the City of Dover’s wages. Mayor Christiansen asked council to not only focus on the emergency requests but also to authorize the city manager to do a real pay study to grant equity to all City of Dover employees across the board. Mr. Hare stated he was in support of a pay study he did not agree with the last study that compared salaries in Annapolis, Frederick, or Anne Arundel County. Mr. Hare believes the pay should be comparable to Delaware. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Brown stated bonuses and pay increases to fall under compensation in the DOE contract. Mr. Brown stated he believed they could make an agreement that satisfies the long-term needs of the many and the immediate needs of the few that are having issues today. Council President Sudler moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to enter negotiations with DOE, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Hare, and Mayor Christiansen to negotiate compensation for the Emergency Dispatchers and to negotiate other DOE positions within 6 months at the discretion of the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil, and unanimously carried. Council President Sudler moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to enter negotiations with American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Hare, and Mayor Christiansen to negotiate compensation and classification of the Dispatch Supervisor. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil, and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 8:58 p.m. Page 17

PLANNING COMMISSION - THREE-YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE JUNE 2025 John H. Baldwin, Sr. - Fourth District Kenneth Roach, - Fourth District FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2202-06 The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of June 13, 2022. Council President Sudler reminded members of the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or on the City's website at www.cityofdover.com under "Government." Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the proposed ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of June 13, 2022.) Mr. Hare stated that there was one thing that did not get placed into the budget. In November 2021 when hiring the new City Clerk Andria Bennett, we made her the offer based on allowing her to continue to work as a State Representative so she didn't get the full pay of what would be a full-time City Clerk. She was told once she finished her term, did not seek reelection, and was a full-time clerk in November 2022, interim pay would be increased to the City Clerk’s salary level. Mr. Hare explained that somehow that was not placed in the offer letter, and therefore was not placed in the FY 2023 budget. Mr. Hare suggested that it needs to be adjusted in the budget. Council President Sudler confirmed Mr. Hare’s statement. Mr. Sudler stated there is a psychological contract, unwritten, but needs to be fulfilled so that there is forward movement in taking care of our organizational citizens. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg explained that the budget has been reviewed based on the recommendations coming out of last week’s council meeting. Mr. Hugg apologized stating he was not aware of the conditional agreement of the City Clerk position, however, assured council that it can be easily rectified as a budget amendment as we get closer to November. Page 18

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 14 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg explained there are several things that we will need to look at as we get into late September. Mr. Hugg gave the example of significant swings in the cost of energy and hopefully by September they will have a better sense of where those numbers are going to come out. He further explained that power purchase, power adjustment clause, and some other items that will also need to be looked at. Mr. Hugg stated that they hope to know in a few days how well the City of Dover requests went in the General Assembly. Mr. Anderson stated he would like to make a motion to make a very minor adjustment to reflect the numbers in the ordinance that is coming tomorrow. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that the budget numbers that are in the ordinance that is being considered tomorrow night are included in this budget estimate, if you choose to increase or decrease the numbers, then they will need to reflect in the final numbers, included in the budget. Mr. Sudler asked that they start to address some of the deferred items that were in the budget. Mr. Sudler also stated that he would like to consider the ones that were highlighted the most for apparatuses, public works, police department, and to start to prioritize the line items that were deferred. Mr. Sudler would like to see everyone tackle those items and start to address those items immediately. Mr. Anderson made a motion to amend line 55 to reflect that Council Members received $18,000 and the Council President receive $23,000 salary annually. Mr. Rocha seconded the motion. The motion carried with seven yes votes, with one abstention and one absent. (Arndt Absent, Neil abstention) By motion of Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Rocha, Council, by a unanimous roll call vote (Arndt absent), adopted Ordinance #2022-06. CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Hugg recognized Jeff Dill, Budget Analyst for the City of Dover, who is responsible for putting together all the numbers and making it look like we know what we are doing. I thank Council for their diligence and their commitment to getting a budget passed and in place in some rather trying and constantly changing circumstances. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Boggerty explained without going into detail, that he spoke to someone Friday and thanked them for the call. He stated that he will continue to answer those calls. Mr. Boggerty further explained that due to legal issues, he could not go into details because of the union-management relationship at the time, but on the behalf of the team, he assured them that they are working. Mr. Boggerty further stated that he was aware that trust has been an issue before, but they are being led by a great city manager. The team experienced Mr. Hare, and all those who are part of a team, we will figure this out and it won't take all day. He further explained that everything is a proposal and that is what negotiations are. Mr. Boggerty assured everyone that they are working on the issue. Page 19

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 27, 2022 PAGE 15 He stated that whatever it takes even risking reputation that they cherish each and every employee. Mr. Boggerty further explained that the members of City Council would like employees to stay working for the City of Dover, however, they understand if individuals have to make moves. Council doesn’t want that to happen and are not callous about it but are committed to softening some of that blow by negotiating in good faith. Mr. Boggerty also thanked the community who attended his Faith, Family and Community day. He thanked the Mayor for attending and for matching his donation of sponsoring ten kids to go to camp. The camp was only $5.00 but they go to this camp every other Saturday, and just get off the streets. Mr. Boggerty explained they are still developing some relationships to make sure things are well with individuals and that we may be able to get them a tablet $11.00 and the service will be free. He explained that he is vetting the program. He understands that it is 100% legitimate and we may want to bring them here and present. Mr. Boggerty further stated that we will figure it out to get some of these students who are struggling with getting online or may not have laptops and computer. Mr. Boggerty apologized to Councilman Rocha for forgetting to say thank you for providing sound at the Safe Haven initiative. He explained that people need to know that the stuff that is done behind the scenes for free. Mr. Anderson thanked everyone who attended the 4th district town hall. He thanked the 30 or so citizens who came out in the summer and had excellent turn out and discussion. Mr. Anderson also thanked Councilman Boggerty for joining him and the Council President for the meeting. Mr. Anderson also thanked other members of the community as well, including Dr. Cade, Capital School District Superintendent, Dr. Jackson-Short, Capital School President, and Sean Lynn, the 31st District State Representative. Mr. Anderson thanked everybody who participated. Mr. Anderson stated the citizens gave good information, which we will be hearing more about over the coming days, and also received positive information to go on, as well. Councilman Anderson also wanted to let everyone know that he has started office hours on the third Wednesday each month at 4:00 PM. The office hours will take place at City Hall in the Council Office. For anyone who would like to call in advance, call the clerk's office at 736-7008. Mr. Anderson explained that he already had one constituent issue that came up that day that is being worked on. He further explained that constituents do not need to wait until then to talk about issues. He will not be limiting anyone, but sometimes people like different avenues and open office hours are where someone can drop in without an appointment. Councilman Anderson thanked everyone who has participated. He asked for everyone to stay engaged. Mr. Anderson further explained that he hopes that every council member has a priority to add tomorrow, so that council can set the priorities for the year for the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee. Councilman Anderson notified that he will not be present at the July 11, 2022, Regular Council Meeting due to having military duty that week. Page 20

Mayor Christiansen further explained that Bally's, the casino to the north of downtown Dover, on the 3rd of July, is giving a preview of the terrific fireworks that are going to see on the 4th of July. He stated that the fireworks provided by Bally’s will be at sunset on the 3rd of July and the City of Dover fireworks are going to be at sunset on the 4th of July, preceded by an old-fashioned get together with music and a parade downtown. Mayor Christiansen explained there is another fun event coming up in the City of Dover. The 100th anniversary of the Delaware Volunteer Fireman's Association was last year (2021) but due to COVID-19 is being held this year (2022). There will be a parade on the 9th of July in downtown Dover. At 9:00 in the morning there is going to be a display of antique fire apparatus in front of Legislative Hall.

Mr. Taylor moved to defer Item #1 on the Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Request for Waiver - Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section A - Streets (Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue) - Waiver of Requirements for the Reduction of the Minimum Street Right-of-Way Width, Increase in Maximum Length of a Dead-End Street (Cul-de-Sac), and the Elimination of Sidewalk on One Side of a Public Street associated with a Site Development Plan for the improvements to the rights-of-way of Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue to allow for further development of the properties that these streets will give access. (Dawn Melson-Williams, Interim City Planner) until the July 26, 2022, Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Meeting. Mr. Anderson moved to amend the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Agenda to add an Update on Wages and to defer Item #1 on the Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Request for Waiver - Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section A - Streets (Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue) - Waiver of Requirements for the Reduction of the Minimum Street Right-of-Way Width, Increase in Maximum Length of a Dead-End Street (Cul-de-Sac), and the Elimination of Sidewalk on One Side of a Public Street associated with a Site Development Plan for the improvements to the rights-of-way of Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue to allow for further development of the properties that these streets will give access. (Dawn Melson-Williams, Interim City Planner) until the July 26, 2022, Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Meeting the motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Dawn Melson-Williams, Interim City Planner, stated the applicant's representative regarding the request for subdivision waiver, planning site plan item S 2204. Ms. Melson-Williams explained the planning office received a phone call from the project engineer between 8:30 and 9:00 this morning, advising that their client had some type of emergency that was to take them out of town and would not be available to participate in this evening's meeting. Ms. Melson-Williams advised them to reach out to the City Clerk's office, and they did so this morning. Page 22

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 2 Item #3. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Melson-Williams stated the project engineer did not identify what the emergency was. Ms. Melson-Williams explained from the correspondence and conversations her office has had with the project team, that the property owner is involved and wanted to participate and move the project along. Mayor Christiansen called for a point of personal privilege; he asked the members of the audience to raise their hands if they had come to speak on Item #1 Request for Waiver. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Melson-Williams explained the project team was in contact and had an onsite meeting with the individuals that spoke at the last Safety, Advisory, and Transportation meeting. Ms. Melson-Williams stated that included in the packet is a report on that outreach effort and a series of exhibits to clearly identify each of the waivers that they were requesting in hopes of clarifying their request. Ms. Melson-Williams further explained that onsite visits of Council Members do not typically occur due to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and having to post a potential quorum or meeting agenda. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Anderson stated he was unaware as to if the project team had knowledge of the district 4 Town Hall Meeting. Mr. Anderson explained he has had no contact or conversations with any of the parties involved regarding this matter. Mr. Boggerty stated he wanted to leave Item # 1 Request for Waiver on the Agenda and asked if a vote was taken would the project team be able to come back and re-present the item. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Melson-Williams stated the planning commission has made a recommendation to Council and action resides with Council. Ms. Melson-Williams stated she would have to defer first to code and it would likely be a court provision. Ms. Melson-Williams warned that the applicant has legal counsel as part of the project team and would tread lightly. Mr. Neil stated he believed there are circumstances involving the section of land that are very politically sensitive and could be misconstrued. He explained he would rather have this item delayed than have it come back and have any recourse coming back against the city for doing whatever actions may take place tonight. Mr. Neil further explained he believed the better choice is to defer the item until July 26, 2022. Mr. Neil stated he made the original motion to delay it for just that purpose, so it is open, available, and transparent. Mr. Neil stated for transparency's sake that the item is deferred until the 26th of July to go over it with both parties involved in this. Mr. Taylor stated he is also concerned with the legal aspect of Item #1. He explained he is concerned about tying up taxpayer dollars when all council must do is wait until the next Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Meeting. Mr. Anderson agreed with Mr. Neil and Mr. Taylor. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Melson-Williams stated she does not believe that the land subdivision regulations or the zoning ordinance, place a time frame for reporting an absence. The Planning Department asks that if someone would like to defer action on something or postpone, they submit the request in writing to her office. Ms. Melson-Williams stated in the case of this applicant she referred it to the City Clerk’s Office since they are the Council’s support staff and manage their Agendas. Page 23

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 3 Item #3. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Melson-Williams stated the written request is an unwritten policy in the Planning Department. Ms. Melson-Williams stated the applicant copied the Clerk’s Office on the email requesting Item #1 be postponed. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Engle confirmed the project engineer called the Clerk’s Office right after talking with Ms. Melson-Williams and he sent an email requesting the item be deferred to July 26, 2022, Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Meeting. Ms. Engle explained she called the Committee Chair, Mr. Taylor, and left a voice message. Ms. Engle stated she spoke with Mr. Taylor at approximately 9:45 a.m. and asked to defer Item #1 due to the applicant having an emergency. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Anderson stated legally it is Council’s option to decide whether it is a reasonable request to defer an Item. Mr. Anderson explained, that if the request was made two weeks prior with an explanation that would be considered reasonable, however, emergencies do happen. Mr. Anderson stated precedent has been to give somebody one deferral due to an emergency however, it is not reasonable to give two or three deferrals without an explanation. Dr. Pillsbury agreed it is reasonable to give the applicant this exception but does not want to see it become a pattern. Mr. Boggerty recommended having the parties in attendance speak without having to come back on July 26th. Mr. Anderson advised that then one side would know all the arguments in advance with a month to prepare. Mr. Anderson did not feel this was fair to the parties in attendance. Mr. Anderson moved to adopt the agenda as amended to add an update on Wages to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Agenda and to defer Item #1 on the Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Request for Waiver - Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section A - Streets (Right-of-Way known as Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue) - Waiver of Requirements for the Reduction of the Minimum Street Right-of-Way Width, Increase in Maximum Length of a Dead-End Street (Cul-de-Sac), and the Elimination of Sidewalk on One Side of a Public Street associated with a Site Development Plan for the improvements to the rights-of-way of Raymond Street and Railroad Avenue to allow for further development of the properties that these streets will give access (Dawn Melson-Williams, Interim City Planner) until the July 26, 2022, Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee Meeting the motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. SAFETY, ADVISORY, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Page 24

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 4 Item #3. Update on School Safety (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department, Master Corporal Brian Gedney, Dover Police Department, and Dr. Vilicia Cade, Superintendent of Capital School District) Dr. Vilicia Cade, Superintendent of Capital School District reported the Capital School District has a vision for safety and security and continues to be proactive. Dr. Cade explained because of the incident in Texas, her first steps were to reach out to Chief Johnson and all safety personnel to have a meeting to talk and revisit their plans. Dr. Cade explained she wanted the public to know that they proactively are involved in developing safety plans. They focus on what she calls the four P's as it pertains to the safety and security vision in the Capital School District, on the preservation of people's wellbeing, prevention, and increasing access and opportunities to key safety training at all levels of our organization. Expanding understanding and access to opportunities around mental health and social-emotional support is pivotal in terms of prevention. Protection is the second key, strengthening the district's leadership focus on safety and security, and being proactive, safeguarding, efficacy, fidelity, consistency, and equity when implementing safety procedures before and during the crisis. Dr. Cade emphasized partnerships are where they are very strong and one of the things that she did with Chief Johnson was to really revisit a lot of the safety protocols and communications, relationships, and resources that they share with our key law enforcement partners. She explained they focused on seven key areas, increasing leadership focus on safety, implementing documented safety procedures with efficacy, fidelity, consistency, and equity, improving communication relationships between constables, SROs, and the Dover Police Department, and enhancing training for constables and evaluating plans as an ongoing process. Dr. Cade stated they are focused on trauma-informed care, really expanding access and opportunity around trauma-informed care and understanding how social- emotional wellbeing and mental health contribute to issues around safety. Chief Johnson stated as Chief of Police, particularly in an incident that involves children of tender years, in the aftermath of that event in Texas, where perhaps response procedures and decisions that were made at that moment might not have been 100 percent the best. He stated as a parent and a cop watching that, he was thinking about your own backyard, school district, and your situation. Chief Johnson explained Dover Police Department has trained School Resource Officers, five of them. Four of them are at Capital School District facilities, one is at a Kent County facility, and Master Corporal Gedney, who is the senior supervisor in that core of school resource officers, takes care of his facility, and he floats and networks at the elementary school level. Chief Johnson stated he believes it is good information for council to know that they did get all the key safety and security stakeholders into one room, both in-district employed, and city employed. They did around the table and double-checked everything, and they had conversations about training, compliance to Delaware statutes as far as exercises, drills., security of every facility down to door locks and windowsills, and all the things that might come into play. The Senator's Safety Task Force is made up of constables, police officers, administrators, and supervisors from Dover Police Department. Chief Johnson reported that the entire blueprint system for the entire Capital School District was recently updated and downloaded into police databases and it's available both in the field and in the 911 center in case we ever found ourselves standing outside of a school building that we might not have complete familiarity with. Page 25

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 5 Item #3. Chief Johnson stated at Dover High School in the Capital School District, there will be a training exercise this July that's focused on the part of these events known as reunification. Connecting parents back with their kids in the aftermath of a critical event is paramount, so they're going to do some live simulations of an event while the school district is in summer recess. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Dr. Cade stated Captain Robbins, SRO Stevenson, Damien Burke, Sergeant Pierce, and Dr. Cade are on the task force. Mayor Christiansen suggested inviting the City of Dover Emergency management Director, Mrs. Kay Sass, Dover Fire Department, Emergency Management Services (EMS), St. Francis Ambulance Services, and Kent County Paramedics. Mr. Anderson asked that this item be placed on Dover TV at the earliest convenience. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Master Corporal Brian Gedney stated they work well together with Capital School District and their Constables. Master Corporal Gedney stated the Constables are professionals, retired law enforcement officers and they stay in close contact. Master Corporal Gedney explained within the school, they all have school radios that are on the same frequencies, everyone understands their role, and they know where the lines are as far as what would be Dover Police Officers and what would be their job. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Master Corporal Gedney stated they have all the safety equipment they need and are easily accessible. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Dr. Cade explained that safety training includes one tabletop annually, two intruder drills, and fire drills. Mr. Neil stated he was delighted with the due diligence, too often, the city council is accused of not doing enough, of not taking enough guns away, and not removing bad guys, to the point that you would have to have a police state, literally, to do that. Mr. Neil stated the best thing we can do is what they are doing, to be prepared when that attack comes because you don't know when it's going to happen, you don't know where it's going to happen, you don't know how it's going to happen, this is the best defense that any city can have, whether it is in general, or whether it's with our kids who are precious. They are our future. Responding to Ms. Lachelle Paul, Dr. Cade explained Capital School District has on staff, 15 constables. There is one at every elementary school, two full-time at Central Middle School, one part- time second shift at Central Middle School, three at Dover High School, and one-second shift constable at Dover High School. Dr. Cade further explained there are School Resource Officers at four schools Dover High School, Kent County Secondary ILC, William Henry, and Central Middle School. Dr. Cade stated Master Corporal Gedney does rounds at the elementary school level, so he touches base with all the elementary schools. Dr. Cade stated all Constables and School Resource Officers are armed. Responding to Mr. Taylor Dr. Cade stated all school districts are required by DEMA, the Delaware Emergency Management Agency, to have safety drills. Capital School District does safety assessments and certain drills annually and is required to upload safety plans and procedures. Dr. Page 26

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 6 Item #3. Cade stated there is a mix between schools, some have state police officers, constables, and municipality police officers and some have a mix. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated The Caesar Rodney School is on the south end of town, which is part of the rotation on the elementary school visit. Chief Johnson stated the police department has already had some preliminary conversations with at least one charter school inside the city and the same model is going to be adopted and integrated as far as a common standard response package. Mr. Taylor moved for adjournment of the Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty, and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids – Water Street Stormwater Feasibility Study (Jason Lyon, Director of Water Wastewater) Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water Wastewater reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Evaluation of Bids for the Water Street Stormwater Feasibility Study. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Century Engineering, LLC, for the City of Dover, Water Street Stormwater Feasibility Project, for $22,500. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lyon stated he had reached out to five companies that fall under the category of consulting engineering firms that were minority contractors out of 12 companies solicited. Mr. Lyon explained the minority companies did not submit any bids. Mr. Taylor stated he believed pre-bid meetings need to be mandatory, because some of the minority businesses aren't large enough to get the contracts, but if everyone is in the exact same room with who is going to get the contract, they know who to subcontract from. Mr. Taylor stated he believed it would bring balance to the minority business owners who are unable to get the large contracts but can have steady work just by being subcontractors from them and it will also help large companies as well. Council President Sudler stated he concurred with Mr. Taylor. Mr. Lyon stated for the record, pre-bid meetings are held for construction projects. This job is for an engineering firm for a feasibility study and is very limited. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Century Engineering, LLC, for the City of Dover, Water Street Stormwater Feasibility Project in the amount of $22,500, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Page 27

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 7 Item #3. Mr. Rocha introduced Mr. Dana Shelton, the newest Utility Committee member. Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Update on Wages (David S. Hugg, III, City Manager) Mr. Hugg thanked the council for being involved and concerned about the welfare of City of Dover employees. Mr. Hugg stated during the budget process concerns were brought to the council and to the administration about the compensation of some employees and the risk that they may leave to find other jobs in jurisdictions that have higher compensation. Mr. Hugg explained they did hear the concerns about competitiveness and the fact that there were potentially several dispatch jobs that would be opening, particularly in our region. Mr. Hugg further explained as part of the budget process for both police communications dispatchers, and fire dispatchers, the council approved and included in the budget a second step to be effective July 1, 2022, for all dispatchers. Mr. Hugg explained that dispatchers effective July 1, 2022, were given the normal step increase that is provided in their contract, and then they will be moved to an additional step, one step further, also effective July 1. Mr. Hugg gave the example that if they were a pay grade 18-4 today, and they were going to go to an 18-5 on July 1st, otherwise we would take them to 18-6 so that they would see an additional bump in their salary. Mr. Hugg stated the pay increase is a part of a movement to get closer to at least regional equity. Mr. Hugg assured dispatchers that as they complete the wage studies, dispatchers are still one of the jobs that's clearly at the top of the list to look at. Mr. Hugg announced last week at a Special Executive Session, Council approved a recommendation for everybody who works for the City of Dover, to express their appreciation everyone will receive an appreciation bonus to be paid sometime during July. The bonus will be a separate check from regular salaries. Mr. Hugg further explained it will be a tiered bonus, employees making under $75,000 a year as of July 1, will get a 2 1/2% bonus. Employees making between $75 and $100,000 will get a 2% bonus. Senior management will get a 1% bonus, and there will be an adjustment or a bonus for temporary work, or part-time workers as well. Temporary or part-time workers do not have a pay scale that's comparable, so they may be looking at an amount, as opposed to a 1% or something of that nature. Mr. Hugg stated this will be a one-time across-the-board non-pensionable bonus, but it will be paid, in mid-July. Every employee will get some recognition, and some additional funds from the city, to thank them for all their services. Page 28

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 8 Item #3. Mr. Boggerty stated he wanted to be specifically clear to the 9-1-1 operators and the city, so there will be no ambiguity. Mr. Boggerty stated this was an initial step to say, "This is what we can do today." Mr. Boggerty further explained it does not mean that they are not open to coming to the table and continuing to develop a meaningful dialogue to come to a complete resolution, such as through the mechanism of opening the contract with the compensation and benefit scope to continue to discuss, where can they move from there. Mr. Boggerty stated this is a new day and wants to continue to show that they are committed to making sure our city, and the employees of the city, are well taken care of, including the 9-1-1 operators. Authorize a Compensation Study of all City of Dover Employees (Dave Hugg, City Manager) Mr. David S. Hugg, III, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the need for the Compensation Study of all City of Dover Employees. Staff recommended approving the City Manager to conduct a wage equity study of all City of Dover employees Mr. Neil stated this is an ongoing process and it's been ongoing since they paid a lot of money for the Segal Study, which none of the council at that time was satisfied with. Mr. Neil explained in the reviews made by Mr. Hugg, that he was puzzled by a lot of things in the Segal Study that they were concerned with. Mr. Neil further explained that they have been looking at this for some time, it is not neglect, Council has been looking at it, and looking to bring it up. Mr. Neil stated Council is bringing this now with the people who know what the city is doing and how it operates is a commitment that they have already made previously but were not satisfied with. Mr. Neil explained Council is coming down to the nitty-gritty where they have already made a commitment, but money is being laid out to rectify certain shortcomings, which is not the fault of the employees the fault of the Council for not being able to provide it. Mr. Neil stated he believed that the employees who say they don't have any trust, understand that they have been around the edges. Mr. Neil noted this was a no-brainer as far as he is concerned, it is something that is necessary, and something to benefit, not only dispatchers but everybody within the city who benefits because they are good employees. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Hugg stated he expected the new study to take about 6 months and hopes to not wait until the fiscal year 2024, to start acting. Mr. Hugg noted Ms. Sharon Duca, Assistant City Manager, and Naomi Poole, Human Resource Director, would help with the wage study. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Hugg stated the $40,000 would be used to buy reputable market data. Mr. Hugg explained they are not going to hire a consultant. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. Contant suggested using an intern program at a local college to help compile data, as this would save money for the city. Mr. Contant also suggested looking at comparable local municipalities as well as for linemen to get information from Delmarva Power and Delaware Electric Co-op because that is where all the municipalities lose their linemen to. Dr. Wilma Mishoe, 353 Rita Wilma Road, Dover Delaware stated Delaware State University (DSU) is eager to assist the City of Dover with any kind of issues the city may need assistance with. Dr. Page 29

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 9 Item #3. Mishoe noted DSU offers a degree in data analysis. Dr. Mishoe urged council to consider DSU because they truly want to partner with the City of Dover. Dr. Mishoe suggested scheduling a tour for Council Members and City Employees to see what DSU has to offer and all the research they are currently doing. Mr. Sudler stated he had been speaking with Mr. Tony Boyle, Vice President of DSU, regarding sharing resources in lieu of property tax and good faith as a partner. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the City Manager to conduct a wage equity study of all City of Dover employees, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Ordinance #2022-07 - Amending Chapter 2 - Administration, Article II. - City Council, Section 2- 201 Compensation and expenses for mayor, council, and other elected or appointed officials (Council President Sudler and Councilman Anderson) Mr. Anderson reviewed the background and analysis regarding Ordinance #2022-07. Staff recommended approval for the ordinance to be retroactive on July 1, 2022, and to send to the Regular Council Meeting of July 11, 2022, for First Reading, contingent on HB 456 - An Act to amend the Charter of the City of Dover, being passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor John Carney. Mr. Boggerty moved to recommend approval of the ordinance to be retroactive July 1, 2022, and to send to the Regular Council meeting of July 11, 2022, for First Reading, contingent on HB-456 – An Act to amend the Charter of the City of Dover, being passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor John Carney, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Anderson stated the money for Council pay increase was allocated in the FY23 budget and was approved by Committee and Council. Mr. Hugg reminded Council that this ordinance is contingent on HB456 being passed and signed by Governor John Carney. Mr. Sudler thanked the city staff, the city manager, and all the staff that worked on the budget and for dedicating their time and energy to our employees. Mr. Sudler stated City of Dover employees in his view, are number one first and foremost. Mr. Sudler thanked the staff for doing their due diligence and wanting to increase the well-being of our employees overall.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 10 Item #3. Mr. Sudler stated his goals are to create more partnerships with Delaware State University and its resources. Mr. Sudler stated he would like to increase the partnership with the Capital School District in getting out our Delaware mortgage assistance for Delaware graduates starting a little earlier, like in high school or junior high to discuss that program as a way of providing an incentive for them to go to college and when they got out of college to also prepare them for real-life skills and real-life bills like mortgage and the whole dynamics. Mr. Sudler stated he believes that the program was already in existence with HUD, the Delaware State Housing Authority. Mr. Sudler stated he wanted to increase partnerships and not have to reinvent the wheel but share resources. Mr. Sudler stated with the scope of the legislative, finance, and administration committee, he would like to see more organizational support programs and policies focused on work-life balance and work-family conflict issues, fulfilling psychological contracts, and unwritten promises in good faith. Mr. Boggerty stated he wanted to continue to build a meaningful relationship with our city employees, let them know that they are our number one resource, and hopefully reestablish some level of trust. Mr. Boggerty explained even when each side does not get a hundred percent of something that they understand that effort is being made to take care of our city employees and our volunteers. Mr. Boggerty stated he did not want to forget the volunteers at the fire department as well and make sure to the best of Council’s ability, to take care of them. Mr. Boggerty stated he is focused on economic development and has tried to attract businesses such as Top Golf, Golf Suites, and now is trying to work on an ax-throwing business. Mr. Boggerty noted he is trying to find some level of entertainment-type opportunities to come to Dover. Mr. Boggerty stated he would like to see increased communication and transparency, community partnership, and engagement with grassroots organizations, or either those established, as Council President said, whether it's Delaware State University or Wilmington University. Mr. Boggerty stated pharmaceutical companies are successful in one thing and it's marketing. The marketing budget is the biggest budget in pharmaceuticals. Mr. Boggerty stated he would like to market the City of Dover and showcase our parks. Mr. Boggerty explained the need to tell people why Dover is a great place to live, and why it is fun to come down and hold events at the green. Mr. Neil stated housing is a priority, empty houses need to be filled, and dilapidated houses taken down and put into the hands of NCALL and Habitat for people to live in. Mr. Neil stated the need for rental housing and apartments. Mr. Neil discussed the need to lease land communities that have sold shells of houses and put people in danger to have those houses, have certificates of occupancy, to make sure that's housing that is healthy. Mr. Neil explained someone who had to open a door of a rental mobile home park that did not have a door handle, had to open it with a knife and had to be evacuated and had absolutely no place to go. Mr. Neil stated the Downtown Dover Partnership is looking at housing for the simple reason that they have housing that is affordable, medium-level, and even luxury housing. Mr. Neil noted an apartment complex that's coming up, which he will not oppose because we desperately need housing. Mr. Neil explained Dover desperately needs housing because there just isn't enough housing for our people. Mr. Neil explained there is not enough housing for the homeless, they have no place to go, Page 31

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 11 Item #3. and this is where we must spend a concentration on. Mr. Neil noted The State of Delaware dominates the housing, there are things that they control that the city cannot control, but we must have that for here. Mr. Neil explained the more housing that we have in this city, that means it's more people to give business to the city. We need to have affordable housing. Mr. Neil stated the two government agencies or quasi-government agencies that lend money for housing, are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Mr. Neil stated they both have affordable housing in their mantra. Mr. Neil further explained the only problem is they are much better at developing and sustaining millionaires than they are at developing and sustaining affordable housing. Mr. Neil stated the city can't do it all, but what the city can do it has to do. Mr. Neil stated that starts with the buildings that are existing, that aren't being maintained, that should be taken down. Mr. Neil explained that is a load on our code inspectors who really do a terrific job in bringing houses around and bringing the landlords who don't do what they're supposed to do around for it. Mr. Taylor stated he would like to continue making Dover safe and market properly as being safe, clean, welcoming, and inclusive. Mr. Taylor stated he believed in the need to have a theme to it and that we need to unite with partners. Mr. Taylor noted he would like to review our landlord-tenant code, so we can move a lot quicker when it comes to getting out nuisance tenants, those who are drug dealers, and those who are contributing to the degradation of our society. Mr. Taylor explained current laws are keeping them in place. Mr. Taylor stated the importance of good faith negotiations with all our employees, and affordable housing, Mr. Taylor would like to see improved public transportation as well. Mr. Taylor explained there are a lot of people who do not have cars and again, gas is at $5 a gallon. It will be economically advantageous for a lot of folks to be able to rely on a great partnership, whether it be with Dart, DelDOT, or whomever it may be so that we can increase public transportation. Mr. Taylor would like a strategic plan to be put together by Council so that the 501(c)(3) no longer compete with who they give their services to, or they duplicate services time and time and time again Mr. Taylor stated he believes that we have a plan where we unite those 501(c)(3)s that are successful in their ventures, successful in uniting people and bringing relief. He further explained by bringing those successful ones together he believed they could create a strategy that is sustainable and something they can all be proud of. Mr. Taylor noted in the strategic plan, that he would like to pinpoint Dover pride, seems like the pride is not spoken of highly enough or often enough and we are proud people. Mr. Rocha stated his appreciation to Chief Johnson, transforming the Police Department into a community policing model is not easy to do, but he is encouraged by the actions that Chief Johnson has taken thus far in enabling your officers to make that transition. Mr. Rocha noted he had conversations with some of them and asked questions about behavioral health issues, and across the board, it is easy to say, they must do something about the homeless. Mr. Rocha asked how do we know that the homeless want us to do something? He noted the citizens want them to do something, but they must get back to the grassroots or at least identify and come back with facts about what these situations are. Page 32

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 12 Item #3. Mr. Rocha stated his goal would be to do some fact gathering so that they know what the data is saying, and kind of segment these facts, so that they can look at it and see where the gaps are. So Council is not guessing or second-guessing what they think is going on in the city. Mr. Rocha stated he believes the only way to improve on it, is to get a deep understanding of what the critical needs are for all citizens here in this city. Mr. Rocha noted there are a lot of great things going on in Dover, such as Habitat for Humanity, which builds homes for families. Mr. Rocha stated that is a wonderful thing that they should be touting and marketing to bring people here, to make a vibrant community. Mosaic and a Downtown Dover partnership. Mr. Rocha stated Mosaic and Downtown Dover Partnership are moving forward and that is a bright spot in our community. Mr. Rocha noted the schools are very much doing what it needs to do, and that they can talk about it. Mr. Rocha explained the safety of our citizens, taking care of our children, and making sure that our children, regardless of their circumstances, that we ensure that we wrap our arms around them so that they can be shown the love that they may or not see on daily basis. Mr. Rocha suggested looking at family circumstances so that they can put together a comprehensive plan or a strategic plan as Councilman Taylor had suggested, because they must balance this as a council, and they do not want to leave anybody out. Mr. Rocha stated he would like to set aside some time where they have a session like when they talk about budget and looking at the social service, and nonprofit organizations, but also pulling them in and having a deep, thorough discussion. Mr. Rocha stated he believes going forward, if they really understood or strived to understand what the actual community needs are, it may be housing, it may be social services, it may be behavioral health, it may be who is talking. Dr. Pillsbury stated she believes that Mosaic and Downtown Dover Partnership should present to the Committee of the Whole monthly or every other month, so they know what they are doing and where they are going. Dr. Pillsbury noted the city has given them money for this project and they should be reporting back some of their plans to receive feedback. Mr. Contant stated there is an issue with crime, that the Chief and the department are working on, but the reality is, that you could put all the money you wanted into a police department, and you're never going to get rid of all the crime. Mr. Contant explained they can address a lot of it and that starts with identifying the root causes of it. Mr. Contant agreed with Councilman Rocha, that they probably need to have people out there and collect real data, and find out from these people, why they are committing crimes. We can have a very good idea, especially in the youth, which crime among youth seems to be increasing. There's a lot of research out there on criminogenic factors, which are very accurate when assessed in identifying those who are most predisposed to being involved in a violent crime. Mr. Contant noted there is not enough staff for that task. Mr. Contant discussed the homeless population in the City of Dover. Mr. Contant stated they needed to figure out why people are homeless and if they want to help. Mr. Contant stated he worked for a nonprofit that worked in mental health and substance abuse for eight years. Mr. Contant explained, Page 33

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 13 Item #3. unfortunately, without looking at the data, that roughly half the people did not want to be helped. Mr. Contant stated the other half that does want help, are the people that they need to focus on. Mr. Conant suggested college students that need to do research for a capstone or thesis would be good opportunities to partner with non-profits and kind of be that conduit to bring people together. Mr. Contant noted the city cannot do everything however, they do have connections and can bring people together and kind of guide them in the direction that we want the city to go and give them a purpose and an opportunity to show what they can do and bring that back. Mr. Contant expressed that economic development; more needs to be done. Mr. Contant stated when they had the interviews for the city clerk and primarily for the city manager, multiple applicants pointed out that our website is not the best. Mr. Contant explained that someone looks at the city, one of the first things they do is go and they look at the website and it needs to be streamlined to put important information upfront. Mr. Conant stated the city has a strong social media presence, but every department has its own Facebook page. Mr. Contant stated the city could improve communication both with the residents and with potential future employers of the city. Mr. Contant stated the city needs to do more for infrastructure. He noted they have made some progress but more still needs to be done. Mr. Contant explained a lot of large, what would be industrial users, that bypass the City of Dover because of the electric rates. Mr. Contant stated that the city top loads utilities based on the pilot situation because the State of Delaware must use utilities. Mr. Contant explained they may not pay us taxes, but we'll get them on the back end. Mr. Contant further explained the problem is that also gets our bigger users who might bring industry to Dover. Mr. Contant suggested reviewing how the city structures rates and whether there are incentives that can be provided to bring new businesses like what they did with the box plant or some of the other businesses that are going to be popping up in the next 12 months or so. Mr. Contant mentioned marketing the city. He stated once the people start looking at Dover, they must provide them with something. Mr. Contant suggested meeting with the Downtown Dover Partnership, Kent Economic Partnership, State of Delaware, and other economic bodies to discuss what can be done for Dover. Mr. Contant stated several people who are currently homeless or are currently involved with gang violence or other things, who are looking for a sense of purpose or employment that can provide. Mr. Contant stated they need meaningful employment or gainful employment that will help them to grow in their own profession and career. Mr. Contant stated Polytech Adult Education presented to council two weeks ago, the city could partner with them for people who are willing to learn a new skill. Mayor Christiansen stated every idea that had been presented by the members of council, and the members of the committee are terrific. Mayor Christiansen explained the city works on several collaboratives. He also stated the city spends money to market the city, both for tourism and economic development. Mayor Christiansen reminded Council that the charter states specific responsibilities that the Mayor and Council have for the City of Dover, and that is to provide services, trash removal, fire, police, and basic services. Mayor Christiansen explained that does not limit them from developing collaboratives with other entities to do the things that have been mentioned. He also reminded them that there are Page 34

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 28, 2022 PAGE 14 Item #3. other social service agencies and other entities that are already in place and that they need not reinvent the wheel but develop more collaborative efforts. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mayor Christiansen stated the enterprise funds that were set up for the city, the water, sewer, and electric, were set up many, many years ago. Mayor Christiansen explained the enterprise funds were set up to pick up the slack on the budget, and that the property taxes that they collect today do not even pay for the police department. Mr. Anderson stated his goals are to cut property taxes to offset the property owner stormwater maintenance fee, reimplement safe communities, enable conduit bonds, help Chief Johnson to find funding for the five recommended officers downtown, a plan for market wages for employees, investigate the viability of state pension plan, find funding for a Silver Lake Master Plan, and research a tiny home community. Mr. Anderson would also like to work with Safety, Advisory, and Transportation to find a loitering ordinance for the city, remove vacant buildings, implement agreeable recommendations for Mosaic, and institute a better supplier diversity system. Ms. Lachelle Paul suggested doing a true analysis, by sending surveys through electric bills and electronic surveys, to get a true poll of residents and what they need. Responding to Ms. Paul, Mr. Anderson stated by law the City Manager has discretion within the departments of being able to move 5% and that is to give flexibility because of unforeseen circumstances. Mr. Anderson explained that besides that the Council must stick to the budget. Mr. Anderson further explained in the past when that has not happened the committee has been at the forefront of making sure that it has been reined back in. Mr. Anderson stated the budget ordinance is law, and if flagrant abuse of that law occurred, it would result in progressive discipline up to dismissal. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 8:04 p.m. Mr. Sudler moved for the adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 8:04 p.m. Roy Sudler, Jr. Council President RS/re S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS\Committee-Minutes\TEMPLATES\COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE TEMPLATE.docx Page 35

Item #12. Information Technology Department June, 2022 Report Larry Josefowski, Director Metrics: Out of 164,777 events we had a count of 125,442 high events within our firewall. 106,718 of those events were port scans from outside sources scanning our network, which is generally a lower-level type of attack. These are generally the number of tickets recorded continues to inch up, reflecting a greater emphasis on recording work. Our CISA detected vulnerabilities reflect servers that are awaiting patches or security fixes from vendors but are not yet available. We are in contact with the vendors to remediate this as soon as possible. Network Security (External): Work on the remediation of the findings of the CyberSecurity Resource Review (CRR) has shifted towards one of the key parts, and that is of Asset Management. IT has taken a step back to review existing tools that track equipment, and to see where we can leverage that to minimize manual reporting. We expect to have a direction forward as to what tools we are going to use for which items next month. Network Security (Internal): Cutover of existing switches to the new core switch continues, with the biggest changes and cutover of the data backbone scheduled for next month. One of the major items regarding this cutover has been the temporary use of a tool that has highlighted the poor performance of many of our switches. While we knew the performance was creating bottlenecks, existing tools limited our visibility to see the extent. Our existing plan is to replace these out of coverage devices with new devices over the next 18 months, given sufficient funding. We note that there is a backlog on new devices that likely will not resolve issues related to the performance until 2023, but the switches are at the end of their lifespan; we have had 2 that have failed within the past 8 months. We have some resources available, but this could be problematic if additional devices are not received. Training: We conducted our quarterly Phishing Training campaign, and we did very well. Every person with an email address was sent a phishing email, and we had 98.2% properly respond to the phish, by either reporting it or ignoring it. This is well below the standard required by our insurance providers and is the best score we have on record. Other: We continue to work closely on the Tyler/Munis development, including having successfully executed a regular patching cycle for the various environments. We are now patching the various environments on a coordinated basis every month. We have a test of the features of the cloud-based new phone system underway with some staff. Feedback has generally been positive. IT continues to work with Docuware and the Water/Wastewater department to refine the existing work order process, but a “paperless” workflow is in use at this time. Page 63

Parks & Recreation Item #12. Monthly Report - May 2022 Parks & RecreaƟon Highlights  NaƟonal Bicycle Month was again highlighted with two great programs encouraging and suppor ng our local bicyclists. Wednesday, May 18 about 35 riders were escorted by Dover Police and Kent County EMS for a the world‐wide annual Ride of Silence. This ride is to bring awareness to cycling and those whose lives were lost while cycling. While it is a somber ride, it brings awareness to to cyclist and motorists alike. Partnering with DelDOT and Commute Solu ons Delaware, we hosted Bike to Work Day—Dover! on May 19th. Our own, Mayor ChrisƟansen and his grandson were among the smiling faces in the crowd with a few beloved City of Dover re rees coming back to join in the fun John Grinstead and Andy Seigel.

The combination of voluntary and compliance related buying programs pushed the price of the PJM Tri-Qualified RECs up over $22/REC in January 2022; this is more than double the REC price seen at the end of 2020. 2 Dover is experiencing unfavorable variances for PJM Transmission, Energy and Congestion & Losses from the Actual Budget YTD thru May. We saw a slight variance beginning in December but thru May we have continued along this same trend. This presentation gives the reader a better view of the Actual Expense vs the Budget Actual YTD thru May. When viewing the overall Annual Budget vs Actual Expense the reader does not easily see this budgeted deficit. These overages are due to unprecedented increases in energy costs. During the preparation of the FY22 Budget (in May/June 2021) and in reviewing the trends for the prior 10 years; while energy costs had been low to moderate, estimates did not anticipate such a significant increase in energy supply costs as to what we are now seeing in the market.

Item #16. CHIEF’S ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Police Chief’s Advisory Committee (PCAC) is comprised of nine (9) diverse stakeholders living/working in the City of Dover. It meets regularly to provide input/feedback to the Chief on the various operations of the agency. May activity is as follows:  The Advisory Committee was unable to meet in May due to persistent scheduling conflicts among the members. However, the Chairperson did accompany the Chief on a trip to Washington D.C. to observe National Police Week activities. PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES  The Behavioral Health Unit began operations as anticipated in late May. Information regarding early mission progress will come in the next update. An introduction to Council is planned for June.  The Dover Municipal Police Academy graduated its 3rd Session on Friday the 27th of May at the Central Middle School. This was the largest class to date and included 5 Dover entry-level Officers. Appreciation to the Mayor for his participation and to members of Council for their attendance.  In relation to recruitment and hiring of entry-level Police Officers, the first hiring cycle produced only 4 candidates to be interviewed by the Chief. The second hiring cycle is in progress and has generated limited interest. Projections indicate a very small pool of finalist candidates for hiring consideration.  The Body Worn Camera project is meeting all timeline expectations. Live deployment is now directed for the beginning of June.  The Animal Control/Welfare mission will be supported by the State over the summer months resulting from the announced resignation of Dover’s full-time officer.  There continues to be 4 vacant Cadet Officer slots with 1 application under consideration.  There are 3 vacant Police Officer slots with 1 Dover Officer currently in the 2022 Delaware State Police hiring process.  The annual promotional process was executed as planned in May and featured the new test for the ranks of Master Corporal and Sergeant. This marks the first year that the supervisors test came from an outside vendor. This test is drawn from material found in leadership, management and supervisory text books and the process is both peer reviewed and court tested. Anecdotal feedback is generally positive regarding the change. Please visit our website at www.doverpolice.org for up to date information on crimes and activities in the City of Dover. Respectfully Submitted, Thomas A. Johnson, Jr. Chief of Police 5|Page Page 111
