OPEN FORUM
The Open Forum was held at 6:15 p.m., prior to the commencement of the Official Council Meeting.
Council President Hare declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that
Council was not in official session and could not take formal action.
Denise Hicks Barnes, 317 Alder Road, spoke to members of council regarding a grass violation she
received from the City of Dover. Ms. Hicks Barnes explained that she was cited for failure to
maintain grass/weeds at a proper height. She further explained that she normally maintains her grass
on a regular basis, however, because of the cost of a car repair, she told her grass service to skip
one week of cutting. Ms. Hicks Barnes explained that she called and spoke to Mr. Morris, and he
suggested that she call Mr. Eddie Kopp, Code Enforcement Supervisor. When she spoke to Mr.
Kopp, he told her she would need to speak to Mary Ellen Gray. Ms. Hicks Barnes explained that
Ms. Gray told her she would need to go before the City Council and ask them to change the
ordinance. She further stated that Ms. Gray explained that if it is done for her, it will have to be
done for all 1,100 people that were cited. Ms. Hicks Barnes stated that as a tax-paying, law-abiding,
community-serving citizen of Dover, she felt completely disrespected and undervalued. Ms. Hicks
Barnes made several recommendations to members of the council on revising the ordinance and
making changes that empower the homeowner, not just penalize them for the offense that is being
cited. Mr. Anderson stated that council will make sure this matter is placed on the agenda next
month.

this designation is a heavy lift for the guys in the department in order to document everything

ITEMS NOT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-08 – SUPPORTING THE CREATION OF LIBRARY TAX
DISTRICTS IN KENT COUNTY
Mr. David S. Hugg, III, City Manager explained that Brian Sylvester, Library Director, does a
great job keeping the city informed of what the State and Kent County libraries are doing. He
further explained that the county has had a method for distributing revenues to libraries based on
borrowing from residents that live outside the jurisdictions that have a public library in their
community, which is known as reciprocal borrowing. Mr. Hugg stated that it is a flawed system
that is not predictable and susceptible to epidemics, or anything that might drive up the usage of
the library or the delivery of library books. Kent County has offered to create a library tax district
program. Mr. Hugg stated that Milford has a library tax district, and the new Smyrna and
Harrington Libraries are asking to set up the same. Mr. Hugg explained that if this were to happen,
reciprocal borrowing would become unnecessary and unworkable, and the new county
administrator asked if the City of Dover would support a library tax district program. Mr. Hugg
stated that all the residents of the city would not be subject to the county’s library tax.
Mr. Neil moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-08. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Anderson, and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted the following Resolution:
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE CREATION OF LIBRARY TAX DISTRICTS IN
KENT COUNTY
WHEREAS, the libraries of Kent County currently participate in a Reciprocal Borrowing
Agreement in which a County Library Tax is assessed to the residents of the unincorporated parts
of Kent County, and funds are distributed to libraries in proportion to the number of items they
circulate; and
WHEREAS, not all funds raised by the County Library Tax are effectively distributed via this
method; and
WHEREAS, the Kent County Levy Court is considering establishing Library Tax Districts
corresponding to the five school districts in Kent County to replace the Reciprocal Borrowing
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the city limits of Dover are within both the Capital and Caesar Rodney School
Districts; and
WHEREAS, the residents of the city of Dover already fund the Dover Public Library through
their property taxes and would effectively be double taxed for library services if a library tax were
levied on them;
Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22, 2023 PAGE 6
Item #2.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover
hereby express its support of the creation of Library Tax Districts, provided residents within the
city limits of Dover are not assessed a Library Tax.
ADOPTED: May 22, 2023
CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS
David S. Hugg, III had no announcements.

COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mr. Lewis wished Mt. Zion AME Church a happy 150th Anniversary and stated that he attended the
festivities over the weekend along with Mayor Christiansen and Councilman Sudler. Mr. Lewis

fish fry but had to go out of town unexpectedly.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Council Committee of the Whole met on May 23, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. with Council President Hare
presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Ms. Arndt, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Lewis, Mr.
Neil, Dr. Pillsbury (via Webex), Mr. Rocha, and Mr. Sudler. Mayor Christiansen was absent. Civilian
members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Contant, and Mr. Shevock (via WebEx)
(Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Dr. Short (Safety, Advisory, and Transportation) was

SAFETY, ADVISORY, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
The Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Lewis presiding.
Adoption of Agenda
Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously
carried.
Quarterly Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
Projects
Ms. Marilyn J. Smith, Executive Director of the Dover/Kent MPO reviewed the presentation titled,
Dover City Council Quarterly Update.
Committee action was not required.
Mr. Neil provided Ms. Smith and Council with a “Map for MPO Discussion” (Attachment #1).
Mr. Neil stated that he was inspired by Councilman Anderson in 2015 when he was first elected, and
Mr. Anderson said, “One of the things we have to do with the MPO is move up White Oak Road in
order to have that corridor widened and ready for the development of Garrison Place.” Mr. Neil stated
that this situation is unique in the fact that they have major events for the city. Mr. Neil stated that this
is something that needs to go on the MPO because there will be four apartment buildings off to the
east, that are going to go up, which will hold 216 apartments and as many as 500 people.
Mr. Neil further explained that there may even be a church in that area that has more people, and if
they do not have a solution, then the people that live down in that area are now bottled up. Mr. Neil
stated that it is doable, and residents get used to it, but as Leipsic Road is becoming a development
area, it is going to be intolerable. Mr. Neil stated that with the huge crowds that attend NASCAR,
Firefly, and hopefully, The Gift of Lights, that corridor between Leipsic Road, which bends to
Persimmon Tree Lane and goes down, is where the danger occurs. At that time, the kids walking in
the street on Persimmon Tree Lane to get up to the top make it a very dangerous route, especially for
ambulances, the fire department, and the police department that must come up during that time.
Page 12
Paj 13
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MAY 23, 2023 PAGE 2
Item #3.
Mr. Neil stated that he has been banging the drum since he knew the apartments were going in, but it
did not get to the right person however now it is at the right person, and even though it may not be an
immediate thing, it is something that must be looked at.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Smith stated that a railroad corridor is land that is adjacent to a railroad
line. If they are doing a railroad corridor study like the one that they finished earlier in the year, they
look at all the land along the corridor and decide what land is already in use and going to be in that
use forever, that land will be excluded from the study. Then they look at the remaining parcels of land
that are adjacent to the rail and decide what land is available that is not in perpetuity for something
like ag preservation, wetland, or some other conservation easement. Then they look at what land is
left available in that corridor, the current intended use, and whether that is an appropriate intended use
along the rail or should consideration be given to maybe some other use for that land.
Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Smith stated that it was one of the statewide studies that they were not
the lead on, but WILMAPCO did finish that statewide truck parking study last year. The study talks
about all the places and reasons why trucks are parked on the side of the road. Ms. Smith stated that
the MPO did a Truck Parking Amenities Study to support those people who are driving those trucks.
Ms. Smith stated that the study examined if they are parking on the road because they live somewhere
in the community and they cannot park their truck in their own driveway, has the driver met their hours
of service limit and they need to sleep or is the driver supposed to pick up or drop off their load and
they cannot go to that location yet so they must stage somewhere close by. The two existing studies
cover all of those circumstances.
Ms. Smith also stated that they are trying to figure out where they could potentially build a truck
parking facility in Kent County. The question is where they can accommodate the needs of short-term
parking, long-term parking, amenities, and safety. The East-West Study is meant to address the
movement of commercial vehicles from east to west, but Ms. Smith noted that she will pass it on to
the consultant to integrate parking.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Smith stated that southern Delaware does not have an identified
corridor for passenger rail. Regarding the IIJA, southern Delaware would be starting at the beginning
of the passenger rail process. Ms. Smith stated that they did apply and gathered a coalition of Kent
County interested municipalities and some friends in Sussex County and submitted a grant application
for the corridor rail identification program. Ms. Smith stated that they are waiting with their fingers
crossed to see if the application will be funded.
Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Neil stated that the Speedway is down to one NASCAR event and
has had more sales than any of the ten other tracks that they have. They have also stated that the fan
experience is far superior to the other tracks that exist in their group.
Mr. Neil stated that Firefly took a hiatus this year, and they are going to reexamine whether they should
have it. They did not have the acts that attracted the people, like when the Beetle came there were
90,000 people that year. Mr. Neil stated that they are hoping to be starting back next year with an
earlier lead to get the acts in and switch back to the summer when the younger people are off. There
is no indication from the speedway whose land it is that they will not be back as they made a significant
investment in that property. There is still anticipation that Firefly will be coming back, hopefully in
the summer, and with bigger crowds which will help the economy.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MAY 23, 2023 PAGE 3
Item #3.
Mr. Neil further stated that The Gift of Lights came as a result of this event being at other tracks that
are owned by this major company that owns the speedway. Even though it was slow this year, except
for a few times, when there were big crowds and backups, the anticipation is that they are going to be
back. Mr. Neil stated that everyone that he has spoken to was very favorable and had gone through
and enjoyed the experience.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Smith stated that she is not aware of any conversations about the
possibility of raising the train tracks up to a train trestle level. Ms. Smith stated that she could check
into that and let Mr. Rocha know.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Smith stated that because WILMAPCO was the lead agency, they
subscribed to a couple of data-gathering services. There is some heat source data, and there is some
GPS data however, she cannot tell where all the data comes from because they were not the subscriber.
Ms. Smith stated that there are a couple of companies like StreetLight, and Reliant, but that they do
not go out and count trucks. Ms. Smith stated that they do some on-the-ground fieldwork, but the large
data sets are purchased from vendors who collect that data.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Smith stated that in the statewide truck parking study, the study does
something called clustering, and it will cluster from those data sources. It will cluster where the most
frequency is during a period of time. It does not show, for example, a truck driver who lives in a
neighborhood and does not have a place to park, so he parks a mile over at the Royal Farms and has
someone pick him up. However, generally speaking, they know where the clusters are, how large the
clusters are, and how frequently they are happening.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Smith stated that the items on the list are things that the MPO is
responsible for and that they are on the MPO website under resources, and understudies. The statewide
truck parking study was done by WILMAPCO so that it can be found on their website.
Mr. Lewis moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee
meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 6:31 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 Ms. Arndt and unanimously carried.
Dover Human Relations Commission Update (Alan Gaddis, Chair)
Mr. Alan Gaddis, Chair of the Human Relations Commission reviewed the update titled, Report of
the Dover Human Relations Commission (Attachment #2).
Committee action was not required.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Gaddis stated that council has to tell him who is actually on the
commission. Because of the relationship between Mr. Gaddis’s wife and Mrs. Herbert, she resigned.
Page 14
Paj 15
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MAY 23, 2023 PAGE 4
Item #3.
Mr. Gaddis stated that he does not know about Reverend Paige. Mr. Gaddis also stated that Wanda
Mullen had previously stated that she was not sure she would be able to continue.
Mr. Hare stated that he would like to see what council thinks but maybe it would be helpful if Mr.
Gaddis had a council liaison that can stay in touch with him, give him some guidance, and assist him.
The liaison could maybe even attend meetings and keep Mr. Gaddis updated.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend creating an appointment for the council president to appoint a
liaison to the Human Relations Commission and make it a formal continuing liaison
appointment by the council president. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously
carried.
Mr. Lewis stated that he started off on the Dover Human Relations Commission when he got involved
in public service. Mr. Lewis stated that he had seen it put on the shelf for a while. He would like to
see it come back out and be brought out into the limelight because he thinks that it is a very important
entity of the city.
Mr. Hare stated that with it being passed he would like to suggest Mr. Sudler for the Dover Human
Relations Commission council liaison.

Review of the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Annual Budget Amendments (Dave Hugg, City Manager)
Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Fiscal
Year 2022/2023 Annual Budget Amendments. Ms. Peddicord shared a General Fund Update
(Attachment #3).
Committee action was not required.
Mr. Hugg stated that on top of what Ms. Peddicord mentioned, he wanted to repeat that on the general
fund side, the revenues simply do not cover anywhere near the expenditures. Mr. Hugg stated in some
cases they are not enough to cover the police department, let alone other operations. Mr. Hugg stated
that a way to balance the process must be found rather than hoping the numbers add up. Mr. Hugg
stated that by looking at the original request for the fiscal year 2024 it is not much different than the
original approved budget for this year, and below what is projected as this year’s budget will end up
with. Mr. Hugg also stated that this is before the sledgehammer and chisel have been taken to the
budget, so that number will go down even more. Mr. Hugg stated that every department has been
through a rigorous process of scrubbing their budgets for both this year and next year.
Mr. Hugg stated that looking at the second page, and using these numbers, there will be about a $15
million dollar deficit in the general fund. Mr. Hugg stated, as Ms. Peddicord said, that number excludes
Page 15

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING MAY 23, 2023 PAGE 5
Item #3.
the transfers, and any other things that offset that, but that is the starting number. Mr. Hugg stated that
it is not the best place to be starting, but as a matter of strategy, everyone will need to sit down and
figure out not just what is going to be done in 2024 but how will the city get to 2025, 2026, and 2027,
so that things are not being juggled as they are found.
Mr. Anderson stated that the enterprise fund transfers are designed to be a general revenue piece, and
they are an important part of tax fairness. One of the things that may need to be looked at with state
mandates and with stormwater maintenance, is a way to pull that out of the general fund budget as
well. There will be a general fund contribution to that fund to give credit to people who pay property
taxes against their stormwater management fee.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Hugg stated that currently on the budget, they are sticking with the
$10 million dollars. Mr. Hugg stated that has been the tradition for the last two or three years. Mr.
Hugg stated that there was one year when the city transferred $11 million but, as of today, the city is
anticipating a $10-million-dollar transfer.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Peddicord stated that there was about $16 to $20 million that was
brought from the PPA and then about $10 million budgeted transfer from the rate stabilization. Based
on the vote of council to stop that PPA, there are some adjustments that still need to be made. Ms.
Peddicord also stated that in regard to the rate study, which was delayed because of last-minute
direction for a salary increase, et cetera, that all comes into play with preparing the rate study for the
next five years.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Peddicord stated that she cannot say that the rate stabilization reserve
has a deficit. Ms. Peddicord stated that there is a minimum balance that the city is supposed to maintain
in there of about 10% of purchase power costs. Ms. Peddicord stated that the city was counting on
some transfers in the future from the future capacity reserve fund for the Garrison Oak substation
build. Ms. Peddicord stated that this has been slowly taking off and those items will have to be talked
about next week along with the rate study. Ms. Peddicord also stated that the electric fund has the
reserves and that they are there to serve a good purpose, rate stabilization particularly, because last
year the purchase power cost was through the roof.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Contant stated that pretty much what he wanted to hear is that there
is a cushion or a buffer that can be used going forward, and things may fluctuate again. If the maximum
has been met, then they do not need to look at adding more to this budget to replenish that. Mr. Contant
stated that he was just trying to figure out what other streams of revenue the city may have and what
other costs there may be.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Peddicord stated that the maximum and minimum are based on a policy
that council has established, so her guess is yes.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Peddicord stated that, that is where it is established, and she can bring
that language next week or send it via email. It is to allow for a cushion for unexpected purchase power
costs. Ms. Peddicord stated that it is obvious that the city does not want to take it below the minimum.
The city also does not anticipate keeping the maximum or above the maximum, which is why in prior
years a PPA credit has been given. Ms. Peddicord stated that it is not to sit there to serve other purposes,
it is there to serve the purpose of the fluctuation and the power cost. Ms. Peddicord stated that if the
Page 16

Item #3.
maximum were to be raised more money would be going into the reserve and it is not serving the
purpose when the money is needed for the fluctuation in the budget.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that as those properties sell, that revenue will go down
because they are no longer being rented to someone. Mr. Hugg also stated that on the flip side of that,
the city will not be mowing the grass as often out there so some of the expenses will be dropping.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that there will be a settlement on lot two around July 11,
2023. There should be another settlement in the last part of July, and then one is pending. There will
be at least three lot sales that should happen in the early coming fiscal year. One settlement was delayed
from late June to early July so that the money would be in the fiscal year 2024. Mr. Hugg stated that
three are ready for settlement, three are in agreements of sale, and a couple are pending.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that the money from the sale is not reflected in the report.
Mr. Hugg also stated that technically the money from the sale is a return on the city’s investment so it
can be used for a variety of purposes.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Peddicord stated that other than those reserve balances being
communicated to the rate study group or the engineering report which has been done as a requirement
of the bond covenants on the electric plant, which has been taken into consideration, but that is
something that could be looked at. Ms. Peddicord stated that she would not mind doing that, and it
could be after the budget is approved.
Ms. Peddicord stated that what is sitting in the reserves is meeting the minimum requirement per the
policy. The future capacity and some of the balances should have probably been brought into those,
they have a significant amount of money sitting for future growth. Ms. Peddicord stated that the plan
is to use it for the substation. Ms. Peddicord stated that the policy also requires that at the end of the
build, the fund must be replenished within seven years, and there are probably a couple of others that
work the same way. The depreciation reserve is used rather than financing things to just pay as they
go. Ms. Peddicord also stated that the city utilizes that and then replenishes it every year, but it would
not hurt to look at the contingency in a couple of other smaller ones just to make sure that they make
sense with replacement costs for emergencies, insurance purposes, et cetera.
Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration
Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting, hearing no

Miscellaneous bill (general billing) payment collections have increased over the course of
the past year. In addition, the implementation of the Tyler Munis system City staff has
greater ability to track payments for better reporting.
Tax bill collections have increased with the Clean Hands Tax disconnection notices in
addition to Monition Sales. Monition sales occurred on April 25th.
Collections efforts enabled staff to reduce the number of real estate accounts sold at
monitions sales from 30 to 0. All past due accounts referred were paid. Totaling
approximately $58,000.00. The City is pursuing one account in October that has a balance
of more than $1,000.00 and will have three years in outstanding taxes following the July
2023 tax billing. An update will be provided at that time.
Utility penalties have increased year to date. This can be attributed to a longer than
normal collection period. Staff have increased efforts to collect utility debt through an
increase in disconnections.
The PPA utility rate change took effect with the April 1st bills. Changes to utility revenue
will be reflected in the monthly revenue statements.

April 2023 Report
Larry Josefowski, Director
Network Security (Internal) We continue to replace network switches after hours, and have two from this year’s
funding to replace, which should be done in April.
Network Security (External): The final remediation from the January penetration test was done, but there are
some lower-level threats that remain. This is due primarily to vendor supplied tools or software, but the risk to
the COD is minimal.
Phone System: We are working to deploy the phone system and are having weekly meetings with our vendor.
They are working with Verizon to help port over our service to a cloud-based solution.
Tyler/Munis: Tyler’s technician that was working with us on an upgrade left, but we did not find out for almost a
month. That has delayed an upgrade to the system. We are now working with a new one but have a case open
to resolve an upgrade issue.
SCADA for Water: IT participated in the beginning stages of the upgrades to the control systems part of the
water plant operations.
Other: We continue to meet with the State of Delaware’s Local Cybersecurity Grant Focus Group to help get
funding for the state and local municipalities. Finalization of the grant is expected early next month.
Our intern continues to work projects and has been an asset to the city.
Metrics: This month’s highlighted metrics show the continued development of our efforts to improve our
network assets and responsiveness to issues at the City.
The first indicates the percentage of switches, a key part of our infrastructure, that are under support. The
increase reflects the investment the city has made in this key service and security feature. The goal would be
100%.
The second chart reflects the number of computers that were successfully patched as of the last cycle before the
end of the month. The specific computers generally change every month, as different computers are turned off
or are off the network during this time. The goal would be 100%.
The Time to Close incidents is based on the past 30 days of incidents, and reflects many things such as staffing
levels, system issues, and the level of reporting and closing incidents. Most incidents get resolved much quicker
than the 3 days indicated, but one relying on outside vendors or complex issues can stretch out for much longer
periods of time. In any case, I would like to see this remain in this 3-day area, which reflects best practice in
industry.
Finally, the Malicious Blocked Domains is a tool we have gotten from another of our relationships. It blocks
domains that may have slipped through the web filtering but prevents our computers from even getting to those
suspect sites.

spending on treating ground and / or rain water
through Kent County. This cost is being offset by the
Ground Water Inflow Adjustment rate passed on to the
$150,000.00 customers. The July and September flow is showing as a
negative cost due to the timing of the Kent County
reporting vs the timing of the City billing.

There are now computers installed in all fire apparatus. These computers were purchased with
ARPA funds through Kent County Levy Court. These computers give us the ability to share
information with different agencies throughout the county and State during emergency
incidents to ensure the safety of first responders and the public of which we serve, by giving
responders live information that is being collected by the dispatcher who is speaking with the
individual in need of assistance.
The Dover Fire Department assisted Habit for Humanity with their Downtown project.
A fire hose order was received for 1.75-inch hose that was purchased with ARPA funds. The
new fire hose is color coded by the discharge on the fire apparatus for firefighter accountability
and safety. These different color hose lines give us the ability to track a trapped or injured
firefighter to their last known location in a building, giving us the ability to reach and injured or
trapped firefighter quickly and remove them from the hazardous area.
The City FM, DSU PD and I had a meeting with DSU PD regarding our concerns with fire lanes,
building access and other concerns of the City Fire Marshals Office. DSU PD has a good
understanding of where the fire department stands on our issues, we hope to see some
improvement in the near future. DSU is making changes to the fire alarm systems to help us
not respond as much, however this will take time.
The Fire Alarm Activation Reports will now automatically be sent to DSU PD and their
maintenance representative to help streamline fire protection problems on campus.
The Fire Chief attended:
Attended the City Council Retreat at Maple Dale for an overview of the budget.
Attended the City Council Meetings
Attended the City Department Head Meetings
Attended the Kent County Fire Chiefs Meeting

CHIEF’S ADVISORY COMMITTEE

the various operations of the agency. April activity is as follows:
4|Page
Page 85
Paj 86
Item #14.
The Advisory Committee met on April 6, 2023. After considering the input of Kay Sass on
the idea of sponsoring a community event of significant size, it was recognized that there was
not enough time to refine an idea that would be ready for the spring season. Instead, the
group might consider participation in another organization’s planned event(s) in the early
summer.
The Youth Sub-Committee report was not provided as Kayla was unable to attend.
The group was briefed on the legislation introduced allowing local police departments’
access to speed detection technology with an eye toward enforcement with a fine to the
vehicle owner. There would be a strict criteria managed at the level of the State that would
only allow the technology to be deployed in areas supported by a traffic study. After
discussing the pros & cons, from a resident point of view, the committee was generally
supportive of the idea. It remains to be seen if the legislation will pass.
PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES
The Department is piloting a new product that is designed to more effectively restrain
persistently violent individuals and ensure that there is less risk to their health and safety.
The WRAP is a comprehensive restraint system that allows an individual to be secured in an
upright sitting position that avoids the problems of positional asphyxia. It also makes it
easier to load and unload the person from a transporting police vehicle. The expectation is
that the number of force related injuries will be reduced for both Offender and Officer.
The Department is preparing for the execution of the annual promotional process in May. As
a reminder, the eligibility list must be refreshed each year and this includes both a written test
and an oral examination. The test is provided by a vetted/approved vendor and the oral
boards are conducted by supervisors employed by other Delaware policing agencies. The
spring testing cycle is also under way for recruit candidates who might ultimately attend our
Police Academy in October.
Our Flock camera equipment began to be installed in the designated locations around the city
and our new Axon “In-car” camera technology, installed in the new Tahoe’s, has begun to
return positive results. We have recovered several stolen vehicles that we might not
otherwise have detected. We continue to anticipate more success stories as we bring more of
our long-planned technology acquisitions into the fight against crime.
We would like to welcome Officer Ryan Dellerba to the Dover PD. He previously worked in
New York State and is currently completing the necessary reciprocity training for
certification in Delaware. He is on track to be sworn in by the end of June.
Please visit our website at www.doverpolice.org for up to date information on crimes and
activities in the City of Dover.

Thomas A. Johnson, Jr.

DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND
Standby Billing Demand – Standby billing demand is the summation of the maximum integrated sixty (60) minute standby demand
delivered by the City of Dover each day of the billing period. Standby demand for each sixty (60) minute period is the integrated
sixty (60) minute demand delivered by the City, but not exceeding the difference between the contract standby demand and the
sixty (60) minute integrated kW output of the customer's generating unit(s), but never less than zero. In any month in which the
average power factor at the delivery point is greater or less than ninety-five (95) percent, the measured demand shall be corrected
in accordance with the following formula:
Billing Demand = Measured demand x .95
Average Power Factor
Page 98

Paj 99
City of Dover Rates & Tariff
Item #18.
The City measures both leading and lagging power factor, treating both as non-unity power factors; customers are billed
accordingly.
Contract Reserved Standby Demand - The demand contracted shall not exceed the net dependable capability of the customer's
generating equipment. This demand will remain constant unless agreed to by mutual consent and appropriate changes are made to
the tariff agreement and the agreement executed by the City and the customer. If at any point, Standby Billing Demand exceeds
Contract Reserved Standby Demand, the Contract Demand rating shall be revised to match the Standby Demand rating that
exceeded the Contract Demand rating.
Supplemental Billing Demand - Supplemental billing demand for the month shall be the maximum sixty (60) minute integrated
"Supplemental Demand" for the month. It is intended that this demand shall fairly represent the capacity which the City is required
to stand ready to supply in excess of the customer's generating capacity. In any month in which the average power factor at the
delivery point is greater or less than ninety-five (95) percent, the measured demand shall be corrected in accordance with the
following formula:
Billing Demand = Measured demand x .95
Average Power Factor
The City measures both leading and lagging power factor, treating both as non-unity power factors; customers are billed
accordingly.
Supplemental Demand - Determined for each sixty (60) minute interval as the net sixty (60) minute integrated demand delivered by
the City of Dover minus the standby billing demand.
Installations which use this service in a manner such that measurement of a sixty (60) minute interval does not result in fair or
equitable measure of the supply capacity required to serve the customer's load, then the measured demand may be adjusted taking
into account the known character of use and the rating data of the equipment connected or from special tests. It is the intent of this
provision that the demand billed shall fairly represent the customer's capacity requirement. In cases where City of Dover elects to
use connected load instead of demand measurement as the method for determining demand, it will take into account the known
character of use and the rating data of the equipment connected.
PURCHASE COST ADJUSTMENT
All kilowatt-hours billed under this rate shall be subject to the Purchase Cost Adjustment Clause included with the City of Dover rate
schedules and approved by the Council of the City of Dover.
RENEWABLE ENERGY CHARGE

RETAIL CUSTOMER DEMAND RESPONSE
AVAILABILITY
The Dover Electric Utility (“Dover”) or its authorized designee is the sole entity permitted to bid demand response directly into
the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) (“DR Program”) on behalf of retail customers served by Dover. No Customer may
participate in a DR program of any other entity unless such program is consistent with the terms and conditions in this tariff and
approved in advance by Dover.
Dover or its authorized designee may allow a Customer to bid DR into PJM’s ancillary services market for energy imbalance,
spinning reserves, supplemental reserves, reactive power and voltage control, or regulation and frequency response ancillary
services, subject to the same terms and conditions.
DR programs may reduce electric service costs for the Customer, provide enhanced usage data, reduce emissions from electric
generation, and provide demand flexibility.
CONTENTS OF APPLICATION
Customer shall submit to Dover a written request to participate that includes the following: 1) Type of DR program; and 2)
Metering requirements for participation. Dover’s approval of the application shall be granted within fourteen (14) days.
EFFECT OF APPLICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN DR PROGRAM
Dover’s receipt and review of any documentation submitted by a Customer shall not constitute approval of such DR Provider or a
guarantee of performance or payment by a DR Provider, nor shall Dover be liable for ANY damages sustained by the Customer.
RIGHT TO TERMINATE PARTICIPATION IN DR PROGRAM
Dover reserves the right to disapprove a request to participate in a DR program or to terminate participation by Customer when,
in Dover’s sole discretion, Dover determines that participation by Customer will be detrimental to another customer or to the
City of Dover.
SPECIAL METERING REQUIREMENTS
If Customer requires special metering equipment or devices to participate in the DR program, Customer shall provide the
specifications for such equipment or devices in writing to the Dover Electric Department at the time of application or promptly
thereafter. Within fourteen (14) days thereafter, Dover will provide the Customer with an estimate of the cost of the special
metering equipment or devices and an estimate of the cost of providing special meter reading data. The cost of any special
metering equipment or device shall be the responsibility of the Customer and shall be paid prior to the scheduled installation
date. All costs for data or special readings shall be billed to Customer monthly.
