City of Dover
May 25, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2024 Recommended Budget
Dear Mayor and Council:
I am pleased to present the DRAFT proposed FY24 budget for your consideration. This budget is fully a team
effort with involvement of the entire City of Dover Team. They have scrutinized their revenues and
expenditures, offered up recommendations for savings and deferrals, and made numerous hard decisions for
the benefit of our residents, visitors, and businesses.
As we noted in the FY23 budget presentation; these are challenging times. High inflation, significant supply
chain issues, constantly rising equipment costs, high fuel and energy costs, and the impact of necessary
workforce initiatives are ongoing challenges. Many of these are out of our control.
Nothing was off the table in preparing this budget on either the revenue or expenditure side. Where feasible
we sought FY23 savings, deferred/rescheduled capital investments, and built on rate studies, service demands,
and other efficiencies.
We present you with a balanced budget including a mix of expenditure deferrals, minimum additions to
operations, and revenue enhancements. This budget totals $201,039,336; split between $175,211,136 in
operations and $25,828,200 in capital investments.
Efforts to hold down taxes and fees, defer capital investments, meet the needs of an outstanding workforce,
and recognize the issues inherited in our regional and national economies are simply not sustainable.
Highlights of the strategies in this draft FY24 budget are:
• Implementation of new electric rate study that reflects the full costs of operation.
• Fully funding the implementation of the wage study.
• Realignment of $5.9M capital projects through rescheduling and restructuring to bolster our revenue
basis.
• 4 cent increase in the real estate tax.
• Programmed increases in water and sewer rates.
• Continued management of fleet and heavy equipment requirements through deferrals and alternative
funding.
• Minimal increases in personnel.
• Seeking a one-time waiver in the 8% rule.
• Use of alternative funding sources such as grants, loans, letters of credit, etc.
But all is not gloom and doom. The city continues to attract economic investment, remains a destination for
tourism, welcomes new housing, and promotes new jobs in healthcare, education, and logistics/warehousing
and light manufacturing. And a dedicated, well-motivated, and skilled city team continually delivers quality
services.
P.O. Box 475, Dover, DE 19903-0475
Community Excellence Through Quality Service

These are indeed challenging times and tough, probably unpopular, choices will be needed. We have prepared
a budget that maintains quality services efficiently provided by Team Dover.
Respectfully,
David S. Hugg, III

FY 2024 - BUDGET DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
Inflation – inflation is still high at over 6% (vs. 10% last year) –but we are beginning to see stabilization in prices,
if not some softening. Reduction in prices will be helpful but the risk of further interest rate increases and/or a
recession is concerning.
Workforce - history of difficulty recruiting and retaining employees. The Council authorized a wage equity study
that was estimated to cost $4.2 million based on January 2023 staffing. Council authorized an unanticipated
implementation of the wage equity study in May 2023 with an unexpected $700,000 impact on the budget
(FY23). This essential action to improve the City of Dover’s R&R efforts is resulting in increased morale and
recruitment but is a significant cost driver for FY24, increasing pressures on revenues going forward.
Lead times and supply chain – although there has been some improvement, long lead times, uncertain prices,
and difficulty securing vendors remain an issue. Often the City has difficulty with interested contractors even
responding to RFP’s.
Personnel Requests – personnel represent the single largest component of operating costs, and recruiting and
retaining employees continues to be challenging; but adequate staffing to meet new requirements or
accommodate growth is essential. Unfortunately, in tough budget years many needed requests cannot be
satisfied.
Capacity – resources in public and private entities are limited due to shifts in attitudes toward work, scarce
qualified resources, delays in securing equipment and materials, long term reductions in the labor pool and the
inventory of companies available to perform various types of work.
Unfunded federal/state mandates and policies – proposed legislation at the state level presents potential
impacts on the city without offsetting funding. These include legalization of marijuana, Electric Vehicle
standards and restrictions on gas fueled vehicles, requirements under the Paid Family Medical Leave, recovery
housing and homelessness, minimum wage requirements (met through the wage equity study), and stricter
water quality standards.
Overall growth in land area, population, customers – the city continues to grow in area and population, albeit
at a slower rate than in the past. The city now has a population of about 40,000 residents and grew through
annexation by about 48 acres. Total number of electric customers grew last year by 552 while water customers
grew by almost 1,000; and number of housing units increased by 83 since last year. This growth adds to our
revenues and strengthens our economy but at the same time increases the demand for services.
Obsolescence – older technologies and products are increasingly not supported by vendors and not covered by
warranties. There needs to be dedicated funds to routinely allow for scheduled replacement.
Deferred maintenance and replacement - Building maintenance and repairs cannot be indefinitely deferred.
Older equipment and vehicles require increasing repairs, are less efficient and lose value as they age. They may
become unsafe to keep in operation or for the original intended purpose.
Financial policies and lack of long-term strategies – while designed on sound fiscal policies, limitations on
funding and use of reserves, may limit flexibility in budgeting and operations. It is critical to develop long-term
strategies that will ensure operating revenues and expenses balance and future obligations are considered.
Economic development delays, competition, impact and building fees, and time-consuming processes – these
items often thwart achievement of our economic goals. The city processes are relatively straight
forward, but capital costs, uncertainty, and outside agency processes limit the expected growth in jobs and
utility revenues.

FY 2024 - BUDGET DECISION HIGHLIGHTS
FY 24 is expected to be a tough and challenging year. As in the past, Property Tax revenues fall well short of
meeting basic needs (they do not even cover the Police Department). Increased revenues, new funding options
and sources are needed.
The FY 24 budget is balanced but critical short-term actions must be taken to bridge needs until the economy
improves. These are the highlights of the proposed budget:
The budget proposes a general tax increase of 4 cents to generate $1.4 million in added revenues.
It includes an $8 million transfer to the General Fund from the electric fund and a $500,000 transfer from the
water and wastewater funds.
It utilizes $2 million of the anticipated proceeds from the sale of lots at GOBTP (additional proceeds are to be
set aside in a Community and Economic Development Special fund). These revenues are one-time, but they
represent the Return on Investment (ROI) from prior capital investments, not just found money.
Of the General Fund Capital Program, two (2) vehicles/equipment and five (5) projects totaling $5.9 million
were deferred and rescheduled. It should be noted that $4.3 million of these projects would not be ready for
implementation in FY 24 and as such were moved out to a viable implementation schedule. We propose to
pursue a line of credit to reduce the upfront costs of expensive, long lead-time heavy equipment ($1.7 million
in FY24). This option would provide added liquidity and cash flow relief and minimize the continued deferral of
these purchases from budget-to-budget year.
New electric rates are proposed based on a current rate study to ensure that the utility covers its costs and
obligations. The new rates continue to keep Dover’s rates within the average of all utilities state-wide.
Personnel requests were strictly limited beyond adjustments resulting from implementation of the wage equity
study. Part time positions were recommended in Police (victim services) and Library (passport sales). A
Stormwater Manager position was added (necessary for the implementation of a stormwater utility) and some
positions in Parks and Recreation were realigned. A total of 21 requests were put on hold.
Finally, each department was asked to “scrub” their current FY23 budget and their requested FY 24 budget to
identify cost savings and expenditure reduction.
Cautionary note: Council and staff must develop long-term fiscal strategies that include scheduled adjustments
to revenues so that the budgeting process is a more rational and direct approach. As noted previously, it is
critical to include a strategy that ensures operating revenues and expenditures are balanced and future
obligations are considered.

BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process is conducted to comply with all charter mandates.
The City Charter mandates the following:
The City Manager shall prepare and submit to the Council a budget presenting a financial plan for conducting the
affairs of the City for the ensuing fiscal year. The total of proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of
anticipated income.
The budget shall include the following information:
● A detailed statement showing the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the
current year and last preceding fiscal year
● A detailed estimate of the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the ensuing
fiscal year with reasons for the increases and decreases recommended
● The value of supplies and materials on hand
● The amount of the debt of the City with a schedule of maturities of bond issues
● A statement showing the amount required for interest on the City debt and for paying off any bonds
maturing during the year and the amount required for the sinking fund
● An itemized statement of all anticipated income of the City with a comparative statement of the amounts
received by the City from each of the same or similar sources for the last preceding and current fiscal
years
● An estimate of the amount of money to be received from taxes
● Other information as the City Manager may think desirable or as may be required by the Council
The Council shall, on or before the second Monday in July in each year, adopt a budget for the succeeding fiscal
year. The Council shall, as far as possible, adhere to the budget so adopted in the making of appropriations.
The preparation of the budget begins with the establishment of goals and parameters through the City Manager's
office. In November, the City Manager’s Office distributed comprehensive budget instructions to department heads.
The City of Dover's method of budgeting has evolved from concepts of many budgeting methods. A line-item form of
budget is used to account for expenses and revenues. In recent years, the City has incorporated concepts of
programmatic budgeting which focuses on programs performed. Programs are examined periodically for their
relevance and effectiveness, a concept which comes from zero-based budgeting philosophy.
In March of 2023, budget line items for both the current budget and proposed budget were reviewed with department
heads to determine if service levels were to be maintained, improved, or reduced. New projects for the Capital
Investment Plan were reviewed at this time as well. Revenues were projected as accurately as possible, in order to
set priorities for proposed expenditures.
The Council will review the proposed budget in early June. June 26, 2023 has been set for the Electric Fund
Budg et Public Hearing. Public comments on the entire FY24 City Budget were also sought on this date. The budget
is made available on the City of Dover website at https://www.cityofdover.com/public-documents.
According to the ordinance, the proposed budget must go through two readings. After the budget’s adoption,
monthly financial reports are issued to monitor and control the budget during the fiscal year.

AMENDING THE BUDGET
There are two ways of amending any individual budget. Although the budget is presented as a line-item budget,
department heads are permitted to change the breakdown within the materials and supplies and administrative
groups of accounts (52000, 53000) if the total budgeted for that department is not exceeded. Department heads are
not authorized to re-appropriate salary (51000) or capital items (54000).
Through budget ordinance, the City Manager has the authority to make interdepartmental transfers of up to five
percent if financial policies are adhered to.
Any re-budgeting of available fund balances must have the approval of the City Council.
BUDGET PROCEDURES
Budgets are prepared for the General Fund, Governmental Capital Projects Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund,
Water Capital Projects Fund, Wastewater Capital Projects Fund, Electric Revenue Fund, Electric Capital Projects
Fund, Municipal Street Aid Fund, Housing Grant Funds, Workers Compensation Fund, Community Transportation
Improvement, Delaware Prevention Network (DPN) Grant, and Lodging Tax Fund.
The Governmental Capital Projects Fund is a section of the General Fund. This section is required by our financial
policy. The separate budget for this fund covers the planning and control of only capital items for the General
Fund. The Water Capital Projects Fund, Wastewater Capital Projects Fund, and Electric C apital Projects
Fund are sections of each utility enterprise. These sections are required by bond resolutions. Separate budgets
for these funds cover the planning and control of only capital items of the utilities.
Estimated ending budgetary balances provide the balancing amount for each budget. Acceptable budgetary balance
guidelines were established by Council. The General Fund should maintain a minimum reserve in the budget
balance of at least eight percent and no greater than twelve percent of the current year operating revenues for
the General Fund, excluding the carry forward balance. Water and Wastewater Funds should maintain a minimum
reserve in the budget balance of at least eight percent and no greater than 17 percent of the current year operating
revenues for each of the Water and Wastewater Funds, excluding the carry forward balance. Electric Revenue
Fund should maintain a minimum budget balance of at least twelve percent of the current year operating revenues
for the Electric Revenue Fund, excluding the carry forward balance.
The City follows the practice of encumbrance accounting for the Governmental Fund types. Encumbrances represent
commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. The encumbrances outstanding at year ends
are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. The commitments
will be honored during the subsequent year.
The City Council adopts the budget. The City Council also adopts revisions for major items throughout the year.
The City Charter requires the City to adhere to the budget appropriations as adopted by City Council. Department
managers may not amend the total department budget amounts. Budget ordinances give the City Council the
authority to revise budget appropriations. Budget ordinances give the City Manager the authority to transfer
amounts not exceeding five percent of the total departmental budget within departments and between departments
within funds. This is the legal level of budgetary control. If expenditures exceed appropriations by less than five
percent of the total department budget, no formal Council approval procedure is required by the City budget
ordinance. However, the City Council reviews all departmental budget activity on a regular basis and must approve
all over expenditures of appropriations or transfer of appropriated amounts. All unencumbered appropriations
lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS PLAN AND BUDGET
The Capital Investments Plan is a five-year plan for the purchase of property, equipment, and public improvements
that are of a permanent nature. The City proposes a five-year Capital Investments Plan annually. The capital
investments budget is a one-year appropriation of expenditures from the Capital Investments Plan and is normally
funded from bond proceeds, grants, and operating funds. Capital expenditures are those which are not a current
expense and have a period of usefulness of at least five years. Such items include projects requiring debt
obligation, acquisitions or lease of land, purchase of major equipment or vehicles, construction of buildings or
facilities, and major improvements.
CRITERIA
Capital outlays are major projects undertaken by the City that generally fit within one or more of the following
categories:
All projects requiring debt obligation or borrowing
Any acquisition or lease of land
Purchase of major equipment and vehicles ordered in excess of $25,000 with a life expectancy of five years or more
Construction of new buildings or facilities including engineering, design, and other pre-construction costs with an
estimated cost, in excess, of $25,000
Major building improvements that are not routine expenses and that substantially enhance the value of a structure
Major equipment or furnishings required to furnish new buildings or other projects
Major projects that are generally not recurring on a "year in, year out" basis
Projects costing more than $1,000 but less than $25,000 are included in the operating budget (minor capital).
All vehicles requested for replacement were inspected by Fleet Maintenance staff. Each vehicle’s brake system,
fuel system, suspension, steering mechanism, coupling devices, and operating systems were checked for condition
and rated good, fair, or poor. Repair estimates were also included if any of the vehicle systems required maintenance.
Any vehicles with a rating of good or fair were not replaced.

BUDGET POLICY GUIDELINES
The City of Dover follows numerous policy guidelines when preparing the budget. The most significant guidelines
follow:
The budget should be balanced with current revenues being equal to or greater than current
expenditures/expenses. The following approaches are employed to balance the budget in order of priority: improve
productivity, create new service fees, raise existing service fees based on the cost of services, eliminate programs,
increase property taxes, and lastly, reduce or eliminate services.
The tax rate should be competitive with nearby cities and cities of comparable size. The rate should produce
revenue adequate to pay for approved City services. Qualified senior citizens receive a $50,000 exemption from the
assessed value.
The General Fund shall realize returns from the Enterprise Funds. The returns should not sacrifice improvements to
the utilities. The budget includes transfers of $8,000,000 from the Electric Fund and $500,000 each from the
Wastewater and Water Funds for a total transfer from the Utility Funds to the General Fund of $9,000,000. This
makes up a combined 23.5% of the General Fund revenues.
Contingency Funds shall be maintained in the General, Wastewater, Water, and Electric Funds. These
contingencies should be adequate to handle unexpected expenditures/expenses. The General, Wastewater,
and Water Funds should maintain an amount equal to at least two percent of the current year’s operating revenues.
The Electric Revenue Fund should maintain an amount equal to at least one percent of the current year’s operating
revenues. The City may only use monies in the contingency funds in times of unforeseen emergency expenditures.
Investments made by the City will address safety, liquidity, and yield. Interest earned from investment of available
funds will be distributed to funds according to ownership of the invested funds. The City’s investment policy
authorizes investment of City funds in U.S. Government Securities, fully insured or fully collateralized Certificates of
Deposit with federally insured institutions, the State investment pool, and Repurchase Agreements.
Utility rates are reviewed annually to ensure that they will generate revenues adequate to cover operating expenses,
meet the legal requirements of bond covenants, and allow adequate capital replacement.
EXPLANATION OF FUNDS
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to
governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
● Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized based on funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self- balancing accounts
that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be
spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped into eight generic
fund types and four broad fund categories as follows:
The City reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Electric Revenue Fund: This fund incorporates all transactions related to the generation transmission and distribution
of electricity. The Energy Authority (TEA) is contracted to manage the City’s power procurement, and North
American Energy Services (NAES) is contracted to operate and maintain Dover’s electric generators at the McKee
power plant and the Van Sant unit.

Paj 29
Budget Summary City of Dover
Wastewater Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to wastewater services, including the payment of fees
to Kent County for the treatment of sewage.
Water Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to water services. The City also holds lease agreements with
cell phone companies for equipment placed on City water towers.
The City reports the following non-major funds:
Internal Service Fund: The City has created one internal service fund to account for the activities related to self-
insured Workers Compensation. Receipts are providing from contributions by the City’s three major funds. Expenses
are related to payment of claims, premiums, and administration costs. Actuarial analyses are completed triennially to
ensure enough reserves for claims for the Workers Compensation Fund.
Special Revenue Funds: These funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditure for specified purposes.
Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds consist of trust and agency funds and are used to report assets held by the City in
a trustee or agency capacity for others. These funds are, therefore, not available to support City programs.
The City is the trustee for the City’s two pension plans, the Police Pension Fund and the Employee Pension Fund.
Agency funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for individuals, private organizations, or
other governments. The City has six agency funds: Dover Parking Authority, Library Consortium, Dover Arts
Council, Downtown Dover Development Corporation, Main Street Dover, Inc., Dover Days, and Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
The City allocates the costs of certain governmental services to the costs of business-type activities (indirect
expense allocation). These costs include allocated amounts of City management, centralized budgetary formulation
and oversight, accounting financial reporting, information technology, payroll, procurement, contracting and oversight,
investing and cash management, personnel services, etc. The allocations are charged to the business-type activities
based on the use of these services. As a matter of policy, the costs of certain governmental functions are not allocated
to business-type activities such as public safety, library, recreation, permitting, inspections, streets, sanitation, community,
and economic development.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless
of the measurement focus applied.
All Governmental Funds, Expendable Trusts, and Agency Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis
of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets.
Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and billable service charges. All other revenues
are accounted for when they are received.
Property taxes are recognized in the fiscal period for which they are levied provided they are “available’ – i.e., they
are collected in the current period or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenues reported in the government funds to be available if the
revenues are collected 60 days after year-end, except for trash collection, which has a 30-day collection period.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund
liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
recognized when due. Also, claims and judgments and compensated absences are recognized as expenditures to
the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental
funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
14
Paj 30
Budget Summary City of Dover
The government-wide financial statements as well as all proprietary and fiduciary trust funds are accounted for
using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus. Their revenues are
recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The City prepares the budget for Governmental Fund types in which the expenditures are estimated based on
liabilities for goods and services to be incurred during the fiscal year. Revenues for the General Fund are budgeted
on a cash basis except for property taxes and billable services, which are on a modified accrual basis. Under the
cash basis of budgeting transactions are recognized only when cash is received. Under modified accrual basis
revenues are recorded when they are earned (whether cash is received at the time). The expenditures are accounted
for when the purchase orders are issued. Encumbrances are established when purchase orders are issued and
accounted for as a designation of fund balance at year-end. The budget is amended in the subsequent year for
the outstanding encumbrances of the prior year.
Budgets for the Electric Revenue Fund, Water/Wastewater Fund, and Internal Service Fund are prepared on an
accrual basis. Revenues are recorded when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when goods and
services are received whether cash disbursements are made at the time or not. Budgets are prepared under the
assumption that the principal redemption of long-term debt must be assumed by Enterprise Fund activity in conformity
with the bond ordinance.
The budget is presented in this document in the legal budget format (non-GAAP) adopted by the City. Under this
method: Capital outlays are considered expenditures; grants are considered as revenues and not contributions to
capital; depreciation is not budgeted; debt service proceeds are considered to be revenues, not an increase in
liabilities; debt payments are shown as expenditures rather than reductions of liabilities; proceeds from the sale of
assets are considered revenue, however, the gain or loss is not.

Project # PD2301
Useful Life 5 years
Project Name Police Officer Body Worn Cameras & Tasers Category Equipment
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $903,000
Description
This project outlines the purchase for 100 body worn cameras and 100 Taser device upgrades.
The implementation of a body worn camera (BWC) program has been on the Police Department CIP Project list since 2017 when the department
previewed systems available by several manufacturers. The department tested and evaluated BWCs from Axon and Coban and incorporated the
framework of a policy for their use into its written directives system. Funding for the program has been the primary hurdle for the project to
succeed, but the integration of the program into the department’s operations is the other factor. The overall system increases the workload
associated with the management of the data beyond reasonable levels that could be handled by existing department personnel. There are two
options for implementing the data management for the BWC program: use of a secure cloud based system, where the data is stored to secured
cloud storage (Axon) or use of department servers for the storage of the data (Coban). The department migrated to Coban systems and maintains
all its in-car camera and interview room systems data on department servers and was initially hoping this system could be expanded to include
BWCs and create savings by storing the data in-house versus paying additional costs for cloud storage. However, the BWC equipment and
associated software package offered by Coban lacks the necessary functions to manage the video files effectively.
As a result, the department requests that funds be authorized for purchase of the BWC solution offered by AXON/TASER. The perceived cost
savings offered by Coban quickly disappeared after mapping out the workflow through all of our mandated processes. For the foreseeable future, it
is assessed that the Coban dash cams and interview room devices will serve their intended purpose. At some point, when practical and economical,
there is a likelihood that the Axon version of dash and room cameras will be obtained to achieve maximum efficiency in the zone of video
evidence. During the most recent period of BWC research, facts came to light regarding our existing Taser devices which are part of the Axon
product line.
While negotiating for the best possible pricing and payment terms, we became aware of updated Taser devices, improved inter-operability of Axon
products, improved accountability controls and the introduction of a virtual reality training option for when the Taser is being considered in
situations involving “at-risk” individuals. While there has been no official announcement made, Axon is on track to eliminate the option of buying
their Taser products in individual units. A chronic problem of gaps in device maintenance that have impacted risk management concerns have been
found with the current Taser model in use in the department. Axon is introducing, and will eventually migrate to, a “Certification” program. This
program will basically pull all of the separately priced components of the Taser system into a bundled subscription system.
The costs outlined below include the hardware (cameras, docks and mounts) needed for each officer to wear them on their uniforms, licenses for
the officers use of the cameras as well as licenses needed to access the Evidence.com cloud storage, an extended warranty for all the docks and
integration fees to our CAD/RMS systems. Finally a one-time setup-up and training fee is included for a 4-day session at the start of the program
for all users involved. In addition the expenditures below also include the cost of an additional civilian position with a background in law
enforcement to manage the increase in digital evidence resulting from the BWC program.
In addition, if purchased on the proposed schedule, as a five year package, all Dover PD field personnel would immediately receive the newest
version of the Taser device and Body Worn Cameras. Included in the price per device bundle would be all scheduled camera upgrades as well as
associated equipment including mounts, holsters, duty cartridges, training cartridges, replacement cartridges following use, batteries, vouchers for
all required instructor training, a live-action training suit for the agency, warranty coverage, and all of the new virtual-reality training available
during the package timeline.
Council approval for this project is currently being pursued as a result of the national spotlight on increasing transparency and accountability in
police operations. Approval of the BWC program is highly anticipated, however, the funding for it is still challenging. As a result, grant funding
is also being pursued to help off-set the costs to the city for implementing these transformational programs.
Justification
1.This project will enhance police investigations and ensure transparency with police /civilian contacts, provide clarity for complaints made against
police officers and reduce the amount of civil liability.
2.Accountability will be upgraded with the automatic activation of the BWC through installed technology and when the new version of Taser or the
duty firearm is removed from its holster.
3.Improved access to data will result with the automatic upload of Taser discharge data directly from the smart battery to the Office of Professional
Standards and other reporting systems.
4.Additional background information concerning both programs and the associated costs is attached to this project form.

Project Name Police Station Exterior Building Maintenance Category General
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $36,100
Description
POLICE STATION EXTERIOR BUILDING MAINTENANCE - There has been minimal exterior facility maintenance performed on the police
buildings since the main station renovation was completed in 1997 and the warehouse was built in 2001. In addition, over the years, we have
experienced flooding in several basement areas especially during heavy rainfalls which were caused by clogged gutters and water leaking through
the brick exterior walls into the basement. We also occasionally have water flowing over the gutters onto the grounds below to cause flooding over
walkways or into stairwells making safety an additional problem. In addition, the metal fascia/crown molding on the main station are in very bad
shape and need to be repaired.
The wood fascia and crown molding on the main station will be repaired by recladding them in metal and will greatly improve the appearance of
the building. In addition, the gutters and downspouts on both the main police station will be removed and replaced to direct the water flow away
from the building to alleviate flooding concerns in the basement areas.
Justification
1.This project will greatly improve the appearance of the building exterior.
2.Repair of the gutters and downspouts will improve safety in the areas that are flooded during heavy rainfalls.
3.In addition, the improvements in this project will prevent further damage to affected areas in the police station and warehouse.

Justification
The well screening and gravel pack requires cleaning over time due to a buildup of mineral deposits and foreign materials such as clay and silt.
This maintenance effort is critical to ensure that production can continue to meet demand. It is also necessary to maintain the operational aspects of
each well and provide repairs as needed to minimize downtime to maintain system capacity. Delaying or eliminating this project would result in
the continued deterioration of the well screen, gravel pack, and well yield over time. It would also result in increased well downtime, emergency
repairs, and decreased capacity. These issues can lead to increased flow pattern changes and water quality concerns.

Project Name Water Quality Improvements Category Water/Wastewater
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $9,467,200
Description
This project was first identified by staff and the 2006 Water Master Plan Update, and has since become further refined with the FY 2006 Water
Quality Evaluation. Projects to be included under this category primarily consist of replacement or relining of old unlined cast iron water main
within the City’s water distribution system; system upgrades to improve system control; and utilization of a consultant to provide additional design
and evaluation services, as needed. Recent research and data collection has produced a Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, based on several
criteria to identify water mains that are in need of replacement or relining. Pipes will be upgraded according to the severity of the pipe condition,
as well as coordination with the City of Dover’s Public Services Street Rehabilitation Program. Between FY 2008 and FY 2010, the deep well
contact chambers were designed and installed. Between FY 2008 and FY 2011 the water mains that were replaced include, Washington Street,
Pennsylvania Avenue, South Street, Pear Street, West Street, Hazel Road, Maryland Avenue, American Avenue, Bayard Avenue, Greenhill
Avenue, Bayard Avenue Alley and Loockerman Street. Operational efforts, such as flushing, will continue to occur on a routine basis. FY 2012
improvements include, N. Pennsylvania Ave., American Ave. Ext., Madison St., Rodney Rd., New Street, Ross Street and Bradford Street (near
Wesley College). FY 2013 improvements included North Street. As part of the Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, water lines were
identified throughout the City that requires replacement/relining. FY 2017 improvement include: New Street (Water St. to Loockerman). FY
2018 improvements included: Bradford Street (Loockerman St. to Division St.) and William Street (Pear St. to State St.). FY 2019 improvements
included: Lakewood Place. FY 2020 improvements included: Columbia Avenue. FY 2021 improvements included: N. West St. West Alley and
Ross Street. FY 2022 improvements included the partial funding of N. State Street. FY23 improvements included N. State Street and West Street
East Alley. FY24 Improvements include:
•Fairview Avenue East Alley (Walker Road to William Street) - $394,000
•Fairview Avenue West Alley (Walker Road to William Street) - $394,000
•Queen Street (Mary Street to Loockerman Street) - $919,300
Justification
Water quality complaints have eroded consumer confidence in the City’s water supply as the water is perceived to be aesthetically unpleasant. In
order to reduce complaints and potentially alleviate this problem, it is necessary to implement the improvements identified by staff, the 2006 Water
Master Plan Update, and the FY 2006 Water Quality Evaluation. Delaying or eliminating this project will prolong customer dissatisfaction and
further erode confidence in the City’s water supply. In addition, main rehabilitation and replacement, ensuring pipes do not significantly exceed
the expected life cycle, is critical to provide a reliable supply of water for our customers and for fire suppression. Water leaks and breaks on older
lines can have a significant impact on our ability to serve over time. Addressing the brown water and associated water quality concerns of the
City’s water system will not only require capital improvements to the system but also operational changes. Some operation changes will result in
no net effect on the operating budget, while others will need to be addressed in the development of future operating budgets. Such items include
tools and supplies necessary to improve system sampling and monitoring as well as tools and supplies necessary to improve system-wide flushing
operations.

sanitary sewer system through cracked pipes and/or joints. Video investigations of the lines are performed by in-house crews to determine the
condition of subject pipes which may also help with the identification of sump pumps and other illicit connections to the system which will have to
be removed by individual property owners. Investigations are occurring systematically through the sewer basins to establish projects for the
following year. Sanitary sewer lines are also being inspected in conjunction with water quality improvement project areas to determine main
condition. The wet weather which was experienced in both 2003 and 2009/2010/2011, exemplified the fact that the aging and deteriorating
sanitary sewer system allows groundwater and rain water to enter the system. This in turn results in higher treatment charges from Kent County.
In FY 2011 a new groundwater inflow adjustment charge was established as a result. It is critical to continue making improvements on a regular
and planned basis to improve the integrity of the wastewater system. Weather occurs in a cyclical fashion and discrepancies between fees collected
and charges received will likely happen again when groundwater and precipitation levels rise. This project would start with an inventory and rating
and smoke testing of the approximately 71 miles of sanitary sewer main in FY 2021 and FY 2022. Rehabilitation will occur beginning in FY
2024. The intent of this project is to rehabilitate the infrastructure with the worst ratings.
Justification
The wet weather experienced in both 2003 and 2009/2010/2011, highlighted the fact that we have an aging wastewater system that requires more
attention to the condition of the old pipe network and more monitoring of illicit connections to the system. Inflow and infiltration are problems that
all customers pay for since they are costs that are not assigned to an individual customer. Therefore, all customers are affected by expenses related
to inflow and infiltration. Delaying or eliminating this project will result in continued higher treatment charges for wastewater flow to Kent County
than is necessary. In addition, the reduction in available capacity in the City and County systems due to inflow and infiltration will reduce the
capacity available for future growth.

Project Name Garrison Oak / Sun Park Substation Category Electric
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $9,000,000
Description
A two part project that started with the engineering portion completed in FY21, this funding will order, construct and commission a new substation
at the Garrison Oak Business & Technology Park. The substation will be capable of powering the entire park and be of a ring bus design that will
allow for redundancy in the event of a breaker failure. Additionally, the substation could be used to provide power to any new developments in the
area of the and give the City more flexibility to perform system switching by increasing the tie points available. There will also be provisions in the
station footprint to allow for the installation of an additional transformer should the energy demand of the park grow in the future. In 2022, the city
was awarded a $5M matching grant for the completion of the substation. This project is not an additional amount of the original $7M but an
allocation of funds to support the full $5M appropriation amount. Due to material delays, the total cost of the substation has increased and this
amount plus the appropriations amount will provide additional funding for the project.
Justification
As occupancy of Garrison Oak Technology Park increases, the amount of power drawn will exceed the capabilities of the current City of Dover
Transmission and Distribution system. We currently have less than 2 megawatts of reserve power for contingency situations for Calpine and we
estimate approximately 500 to 2000 kilowatts of demand per lot. This additional load will not be attainable without a new substation to dedicate to
the park and allow distribution to a limited number of customers outside the park in residential areas.

Project Name Woodcrest Overhead to Underground Category Electric
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $394,000
Description
Replaces original overhead backyard construction in the Woodcrest subdivision and converts it to front yard underground construction.
Justification
This subdivision is supplied power using overhead backyard construction. Most of the homes in the area were constructed in the 1960s and access
to the overhead lines has become limited by fencing, pools, sheds, etc. This project will remove the power lines from the rear of the houses and
place them underground at the edge of the street. This will reduce outages due to tree damage and allow easier access to the equipment and quicker
restoration time. This work will also layer into the work being done to supply service to the new Dover Middle school being built on the old Dover
High School site allowing for redundancy in service for both locations. The cost has increased $94,000 from $300,000 due to the increased price
of materials and contract labor.

Status Active
Total Project Cost: $394,000
Description
This project will complete the overhead to underground conversion in Towne Point/White Oak developments. This relocates the electric feed to
the homes from the backyard to the front yards and places the infrastructure underground. Nimitz, Bacon and Buckson are the last remaining roads
to be done and the backyard construction will be cut down and poles surrendered to Verizon.
Justification
The current infrastructure was installed in the late 1960s and 1970s and there are numerous areas of pole lines being inaccessible to our bucket
trucks due to the private fencing installed. The estimated prices are for boring work being performed by outside contractor but most of the boring
could be replaced with trenching which would minimize the possibility of striking non locatable infrastructure. The cost has increased $34,000
from $360,000 due to the increased price of materials and contract labor.

Total Project Cost: $85,000
Description
The concrete pads under the two transformers at Cartanza substation are cracking and showing evidence of a structural concern. The concrete pads
need to be restored back to their original integrity. The structural security and longevity of the concrete pads is heavily reliant on a foundation
repair.
Justification
Shifting of the transformers is detrimental to our substation and electrical grid. If the transformer starts to shift it can cause mechanical failures or
an electrical failure that would affect everything from our substation down to our consumers. Cartanza is our largest substation and the only
substation that deals with upwards of 230kV. If the Cartanza substation went down, it would not only affect the entire city of Dover, but also the
PJM power grid.

Project Name McKee Switch Yard Reconfiguration Category Electric
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $50,000
Description
This project will eliminate the current switch yard at McKee Run to account for the demolition of the plant. It will consist of engineering work,
construction of a new pole line, and relocation of the 69kV tie point to the College Road substation. The current building containing the battery
backup system will be demolished once the new relay building is built and commissioned. The additional $50,000 will be to complete the job in
2024 if needed.
Justification
In conjunction with the decommissioning of the McKee Run Power Plant, accommodations need to be made concerning the switchyard. The
current configuration of the yard allows electric personnel to tie multiple 69 kV lines together that allows for energizing of the entire 69 kV loop
across the city. This ability to tie the two 69 kV loops together reduces the impacts of outages reaching the customers and allows for isolating of
parts of the system to do maintenance.

Status Active
Total Project Cost: $180,000
Description
This project is part of a wider ranging Substation Assessment Program. The goal of the Substation Assessment Program is to identify discrepancies
in the substations and proactively manage aging component replacements. This is done by performing monthly inspections and operational checks
of the switches, relays, transformers and wiring of each substation in the City of Dover system. This also will encompass replacing outdated
communication equipment and installing Real Time Automation Controllers (RTACs) that will allow faster reporting of faults in the system as well
as provide more detailed engineering data. There is currently 5 of the 15 stations with RTACs installed and 4 of 15 with GPS Clocks installed. We
currently have 5 RTACs on hand and the cost of a new one is $3,000. There are no GPS clocks on hand and they cost $1,300 per unit.
Justification
These funds will be used to make upgrades to the communications components used in the substations. It will also allow the replacement of
components that unexpectedly failed without depleting the O&M budgets. As an example, one SEL relay can cost between $3,000-$6,000 per unit.

Total Project Cost: $130,000
Description
The Electric Department utilizes a closed loop fiber ring for our SCADA platform to communicate with each of our substations. At each substation
and the Administration building, a fiber optic multiplexer is present to facilitate communications. The fiber optic multiplexers play a critical role in
our communications with our field devices. The cost projections listed below reflect a replacement of the multiplexer, installation, training and per
diem costs for technicians.
Justification
Our current multiplexer configuration was installed in 2011 and has started to develop hardware and software configuration errors. The age of the
devices has caused issues with part availability and repair times as that vendor does not produce the current model any longer. The current devices
offer a very limited amount of cyber security protection. Our intentions is to replace the current multiplexer with a more robust product that offers a
higher level of cyber security and offers us the ability to build the network out for future needs.

Total Project Cost: $300,000
Description
This project will be utilized to perform preventative maintenance on the 69 kV lines that provide voltage to the distribution substations across the
city. In the past this money has been spent on replacement of the porcelain insulators to install safer polymer insulators. This could also be used to
replace stand offs, poles, switches and other equipment related to the transmission system.
Justification
Insulators have a defined equipment life due to sun and weather conditions breaking down the porcelain and base bonding cement. Insulators
installed in 1960's and 1970's are due for replacement because of this deterioration. We have experienced several transmission outages due to
insulator failure. Replacing the insulators should extend the life an additional 30 years.

Project # EE2424
Useful Life 30+ years
Project Name New Developments Category Electric
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $7,000,000
Description
This project purchases material and equipment that are used to provide electric service to ne housing developments, businesses and industrial
developments across the service area. Additionally, a portion of this expense is offset by extension fees whereby developers pay a $1,875 per
residential lot connection fee inside City limits and a per lot fee of $1,500 per lot outside City limits but in the service area. For business and
industrial developers, a fee is charged based on total material expense for the extension.
This is an ongoing project and affects three separate accounts:
411-42-82-99-000-56031
411-42-82-99-000-56034
411-42-82-99-000-56046
Not all new developments projects supported by this fund are know during budget preparation and will arise during the year.
Justification
During each budget year, new developers request line extensions for new electric projects. Some are new projects while others may have to receive
plan approval previously but were not completed for any number of reasons.

Project Name VanSant Unit 11 Component Replacements Category Electric
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $200,000
Description
This fund was developed to perform inspections and repairs to the VanSant Unit 11 auxiliary equipment on a predetermined frequency based on
unit operating hours, required regulatory inspection intervals, and known equipment condition. Work to be performed would include the following
equipment:
Replace potential transformer. ($30K)
Ignition system ignitors and cables. ($20K)
Turning gear clutch system jaws, operating cylinders, bearing, deflector, and switches. ($35K)
Fogging system inspections and repairs to include nozzle replacement, filter replacement, and instrument calibration. ($15K)
Note: Project costs in years beyond 2024 are shown for expense planning purposes and represent future projects related to this equipment that are
anticipated based on expected operation.
Justification
This project is required to fund the replacement of capital items that are expected to reach their useful life and will need to be replaced or
refurbished to maintain plant system and unit reliability. Extended equipment and /or unit outage time will result from lack of funding this project.
This will have a direct effect on the cost of energy during the extended outage time as well as increase future energy capacity charges.

Project Name VanSant Water Treatment System Removal/Demolition Category Electric
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $60,000
Description
Van Sant water treatment system demolition and removal to include disposal costs for the sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and the expended resins.
Justification
The original water treatment system installed in 1990 at the Van Sant station has reached the end of it’s useful life. There have been controls
upgrades completed on the Aquatech® system over the history of the unit. In the summer of 2021, the system experienced several failures while
attempting to generate demineralized water required during electrical generation for the water injection and inlet fogging systems. The failures
included control system and mechanical system failures. A portable resin train was delivered and found to be much more cost effective than
continuing to spend additional funds on the needed repairs to the system. The portable resin trains are far less labor intensive and the controls for
the units are self-contained for the most part. If we were to keep the current system in use we would be required to perform out of service tank
inspections on the sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide storage tanks in 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024 Central Services Departmental Goals
The City of Dover Central Services Department consists of Fleet, Facilities, and Warehousing and
Procurement divisions. Since this department has been established, the focus has been reevaluating
resources, operational organization and processes, and overall accountability.
In FY2023, Fleet has continued to focus on training and operational efficiency. During this time, we have
continued to utilize the Fleet Services Coordinator to orchestrate and monitor the efficiency and quality
of work performed. This has continued to reduce the number of comebacks and repeat repairs.
Technicians have received training for our refuse fleet with Heil Industries coming on site for a four-day
class as well as completing their MACS HVAC certification. These trainings covered a wide array of much
needed information and technical experience which will contribute to our technician’s ongoing success.
The Fleet division will continue to enhance their education each year moving forward in efforts to
provide quality and the highest level of readiness possible for its customers. The Division’s goals for
FY2024 are as follows:
• Continue to utilize budgeted training to ensure technicians are providing quality repairs to
minimize vehicle/equipment downtime.
• Continue to track vehicle/equipment repair and maintenance cost more efficiently to help
provide an overall cost of ownership.
• Reduce comebacks and repeat repairs.
The Facilities Division has focused on various building CIP projects that were budgeted within the
FY2023 budget in efforts to improve City buildings. The Facilities division has added a Craftsperson I
position which has increased our level of accountability as well as quality of service. The Division’s goals
for FY2024 will continue to be as follows:
• Review current building deficiency reports and create comprehensive plans for repairs as well as
updating outdated systems.
• Create a preventative maintenance schedule for all City buildings to minimize costly repairs in
the future.
• Establish an effective tracking process for maintenance, repairs, and CIP projects to provide
more accurate budgeting for future years.
Procurement and Warehousing has continued to evaluate needed space, inventory, and operational
processes throughout FY2023. As a result, the inventory has continued to be reduced by eliminating
stock with little to no rollover and improved space due to stock reduction. Staff has also worked with
the Electric department to establish an adequate storm stock with appropriate levels for any future
weather catastrophes that threaten power outages. For FY2024, the Procurement and Warehousing
divisions goals are as follows:
• Providing the highest level of customer service to its customers.
• Continue to reduce slow moving inventory and examining alternative options such as
outsourcing.
• Enforcing the current Purchasing Policy to ensure the best practices are conducive to the City of
Dover’s needs.

Fiscal Year 2024 Central Services Departmental Goals
All the outlined goals are in efforts to protect and preserve City of Dover assets and resources to ensure
that all funds allocated to such assets and resources are true investments. The Central Services
Department will continue to monitor and evaluate all aspects of operations for potential efficiency
improvements in efforts to foster the highest standards of accountability and customer service.

Strategic Goals, 2022-2023
1. Increase cybersecurity posture for the city, including SCADA systems.
Our number one priority is keeping the City of Dover’s computer resources secure. By employing and
becoming proficient with the security and monitoring tools, as well as training and following up with
clients, we can keep the network safe.
A key component is the partnership with Electric and Water in terms of their Operational Technology
in terms of their SCADA network, especially as the Electric Department will be upgrading their SCADA
network upgraded and modernized. We will continue to be an integral part of this process.
2. Continue deployment of the Tyler/Munis ERP Solution
The Tyler/Munis ERP solution is key to Dover’s future. This will allow better management of
resources, better client engagement, and the simplification of IT’s hardware. We will continue to
develop the skill set needed for long term development.
3. Replace out of date switches and routers to improve security and performance.
First steps were taken in 2022 in the upgrade of core switches, but much work needs to be done. The
goal is to have a third of the network equipment replaced by the end of 2023. This replacement is
needed as much of the equipment is no longer supported, which creates both security and
performance problems. Replacing the equipment and developing a sustainable replacement strategy
going forward is key.
4. Ensure the City of Dover gets an equitable share of the state’s Cybersecurity grant
The cybersecurity grant process that the City of Dover is helping to draft may provide a way to
increase the cybersecurity posture by increasing capabilities and features of or existing tools.
Ensuring that Dover is able to use the products that are developed our offered is why we are part of
the steering committee.
5. Develop career paths for IT team from entry level to director.
We will develop, upgrade, and reclassify positions to ensure clear paths from entry level to director,
but to also get all positions at a more competitive salary level. We need to develop the skill set for
our ERP solution, and in the long term, to consider adding a Cyber-security specific position.
6. Work closer with all departments to help maximize technology.
The City has invested in a variety of tools over the years that can improve many processes over the
years that are not being fully utilized. Maximizing the wide range of tools, or finding new ways to use
our existing technology - from our ERP solution to using Office 365, to workflow to GIS applications –
will increase the value of these tools.

City of Dover Cybersecurity Needs Analysis, 2023-2025
The City of Dover has greatly increased its cybersecurity defenses since 2019, when an incident
resulted in a review of the entire infrastructure by CrowdStrike, our current EDR (Endpoint
Detection and Response) vendor. This 20-page report provided a laundry list of recommendations,
most of which have been implemented - with one exception.
We are at the beginning of a 4-year, $2.2M cybersecurity grant for the State of Delaware with the
requirement that 80% of the funding be passed to local municipalities and rural areas. We are on
the committee that drafted the goals and objectives and are in a good situation to see where the
direction of funding is going to go.
It is likely some centralization of services or products will be offered by the state, probably with the
required funding match (which increases yearly) paid by them. We may explore switching to the
state provided solution, at least for the life of the grant, if eligible, and it not a lesser level of service
that we currently have. The best example would be our EDR product; an offering may be cheaper,
but with less services. If this happens, and we’re able to be reimbursed for a product we already
have, we may be able to apply for a separate grant and get partially reimbursed for our premium
product at this rate.
What is on the last page is the current list of goals and programs of this program. What I’ve done
below is to put the Objective in context with Dover – if we have it, what we’re likely to gain, and if it
will be sufficient. The first 3 below are ones that are the most likely to get funding, and I will be
making limited changes in these areas until we get a better idea of what may be provided as a result
of the grant.
Risk Management and Governance: This is the highest priority for the group and will not provide
any budget relief to the City. What it likely will do is fund planning for assessments and helping to
prioritize what each entity would need. We see this coming out in the form of a “Tee Shirt” exercise,
where versions are developed for small, medium, and large entities within the state. However, such
an assessment of the 60 or so entities in the state will use a large amount of the funds: We estimate
about 600K for this effort.
Protect modern perimeter: This is one of the most important areas, and we are fortunate in having
many of the tools that would meet the program objectives through our budget or our existing
partnerships with CISA and MS-ISAC. We’re also working on some of these areas with existing
resources, such as updating our switches and segmenting our network. We would stand to gain
assistance in transitioning to the .GOV domain, and/or assistance in shielding our .com site from
Denial of Service attacks. We may gain functionality with some of the tools, allowing us to be more
granular in some of our solutions – such as not ever requiring MFA while on the City’s network, but
requiring MFA every time they VPN in. This would require upgrading our current Microsoft Azure
platform. The need for greater accountability and logging is also growing; we added a security
feature last year for administrative access, but even greater scrutiny, and the tools needed to do
that, maybe be on the horizon.
261
Paj 287
Workforce: This is another area that we are ahead of other organizations We currently do a good
job implementing the basic security training for all users that is currently paid for by the state,
including regular simulated phishing attacks. We have also leveraged our Cowbell training for IT staff
and our elected officials, although it is somewhat simplistic. This is the lowest of the immediate
priorities, and I am not confidant there will be a lot of funds beyond some contracted training for
municipal IT workers.
The next areas are ones that are in the plan but are not listed as a priority. What I believe this means
is that some grant funding, with the cost sharing, may be available, but I would not count on it. It is,
unfortunately, where I see our biggest needs.
Monitoring and Threat Intelligence: I mentioned earlier that we have addressed almost all of the
concerns of the 2019 analysis, and this is the area that we’ve both done the most, and still have a
ways to go. While we have good security monitoring through several tools that we have, which
includes 24x7 monitoring by two different vendors, we do not have a SEIM solution in place, which
is one of the recommendations from the 2019 investigation. This tool would aggregate data from all
our servers, many of our network devices and appliances, and provide the tools to filter and alert
the IT team to possible issues in a proactive manner. This is a tool that I would recommend we
continue to seek out and will be included in the budget request. However, I am doubtful that
funding will be available for the 2023 budget year.
The other significant area is the development of an Incident Response Plan and playbooks for
disaster recovery. Right now, we have a very bare-bones plan, and it really needs to be fleshed out.
We will continue to work and refine what we have, as well as to look for other grant sources.
Cyber Hygiene: This is an area that is not as significant as other areas. The concept of data
encryption has shown up on insurance policies, but very few agencies, I believe, go beyond what we
do now. This would be the same as the life cycle process that is mentioned; we have a very
rudimentary system for our most important assets. It has a lot of manual processes, with the
insurance vendors asking for more automated and more frequent inventories, including data stores,
but, again, we’re likely doing more than most entities.
Sustainability/Cyber Resilience: Many of the high-cost areas, such as backup solutions, we are
doing as much as could possibly be doing, in the sense that most of our data is backed up several
ways, including air-gapped and encrypted storage. However, recovery could be problematic, as we
do not currently have the ability to recover the data. This would delay any recovery until
appropriate infrastructure was obtained, but we are hoping to increase our resiliency next year with
the purchase of equipment that would allow us to fully function at either Reed Street or the Electric
area. Some additional work may need to be done, such as a backup Internet connection, but such a
setup would provide both redundancy and extra capability, if needed.
An area that will become important over the next year is in the IOT/OT areas (Internet of Things, and
Operational Technology). Of the two, the OT, which is essentially our SCADA systems, will be
deployed next year. Firewall and additional security issues are planned, but this is a critical area that
additional protection or logging may be suggested at some point.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds include the group of funds classified as grant funds and a Realty
Transfer Tax Fund. The proceeds from specific revenue sources are restricted to
specified expenditure purposes. The City adopts budgets for selected Special Revenue
Funds. Combining and individual statements appear in this section.
POLICE GRANTS
The City of Dover Police Department receives various grants from the State of Delaware
for public and highway safety and the U.S. Department of Justice for local law
enforcement. All grant transactions are recorded in this fund.
LIBRARY GRANTS
The City of Dover Public Library receives various grants from the State of Delaware,
Kent County, and the Federal Government. Activities associated with these grants are
recorded in this fund.
MUNICIPAL STREET AID
The State of Delaware has passed legislation to share a portion of Delaware’s motor
fuel tax revenue with local municipalities through grants. The amount of the grant the
City receives depends on its population and miles of streets maintained. The grant is
used for street light expense within the City.
CDBG HOUSING GRANTS & NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM
The City receives a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Entitlement
Grant for the Community Development Block Grant Program. This is to provide decent
housing, a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities primarily for
people of low and moderate incomes. Combined with the CDBG Fund is the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) that provides assistance in the
redevelopment of residential properties that have been abandoned and foreclosed upon
to stabilize residential communities.

Paj 381
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
(continued)
STATE OF DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GRANTS
The State of Delaware Department of Transportation grants provide funds for specific
street projects in the City. State law provides funds to the State’s elected officials for
suburban street aid, which officials can then provide to their respective districts. The
City receives these funds for designated street projects and records all transactions for
this fund.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION GRANT
The State of Delaware General Assembly Grant-In-Aid Program provides funds to
implement an after-school program for at-risk and/or disadvantaged youths in the City
of Dover. The City runs this program out of the Parks & Recreation Department.
ELECTRONIC RED-LIGHT SAFETY PROGRAM (ERLSP)
The State of Delaware Department of Transportation provides a grant to municipalities
that implement the Electronic Red- Light Safety Program. Under this program, the City
is granted a portion of the fines collected from drivers who are ticketed for running red
lights installed with electronic photo identification equipment within the City limits.
REALTY TRANSFER TAX
Delaware Code states that realty transfer tax realized by the City shall be segregated
from the general fund and the funds shall be expended solely for the capital and
operating costs of public safety services, economic development programs, public works
services, capital projects and improvements, infrastructure projects and improvements
and debt reduction.
LODGING TAX
In 2019 the Delaware General Assembly authorized Kent County and the City of Dover
to charge up to 3% of the cost of a room rental at a hotel, motel or other overnight
lodging business as provided in 30 Del C. §6101. On September 30, 2019 the Dover
City Council approved Ordinance #2019-16 adopting a phased-in lodging tax for the
City of Dover. On July 1, 2020 a tax of 0.5% will be implemented. On July 1, 2021 the
rate will be 1.0% and a year later the lodging tax will be increased to 1.5% and remain
at that level unless changed by the City Council.
