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 that we have to do with the
MPO is to move up White Oak Road 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
Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 3
Item #2.
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 get up to the top making it a
very dangerous route, especially for ambulances, the fire department, and the police
department that must come up during that time.
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
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
Page 9
Paj 10
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 4
Item #2.
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.
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
Page 10
Paj 11
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 5
Item #2.
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. Mr. Gaddis stated that he did 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 could 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.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 6
Item #2.
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.
Discussion – Fiscal Year 2023 Audit Program (Lori Peddicord,
Controller/Treasurer)
Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the background and analysis
regarding the Fiscal Year 2023 Audit Program.
Staff recommended acceptance of the Audit Program.
Mr. Hare moved to recommend acceptance of the Audit Program, as
recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Contant and
unanimously carried.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Boggerty and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
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 the transfers, and any other things that
offset that, but that is the starting number. Mr. Hugg stated that it is not the best
Page 12
Paj 13
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 7
Item #2.
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, some
adjustments still need to be made. Ms. Peddicord also stated that regarding 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
Page 13
Paj 14
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 8
Item #2.
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 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

SETTING OF ELECTRIC, WATER, AND WASTEWATER RATES AND TARIFFS
David S. Hugg, III, City Manager, explained that things are being done out of sequence this year
due to the Electric Rate Study not being available to be presented until the Council Committee of
the Whole Meeting of June 13, 2023.
Mr. Hugg stated that every five years or so, they go through and look at the electric rates and reset
them based on the history of the last five years and all the various factors that are considered. He
explained that sometimes it is done more frequently if conditions substantially change, but at this
Page 15
Paj 16
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 10
Item #2.
point, they believe that resetting the electric rates are in order. He further explained that is why
they hired the consultant who will speak about the rate study.
Mr. Hugg explained that the rate study and the rates that are selected should satisfy or cover all
the costs of operations, maintenance, etc., including the requirements for reserves, energy, taxes,
transfers, and pass-through. Mr. Hugg further explained that when you do an electric rate study, it
is a comprehensive look at the cost of the business operation, and the rates reflect the need to cover
those costs to be an efficient manager of the utility. He stated that the second caveat is that it is
important to allocate the costs, between the various user groups fairly. Mr. Hugg explained that
there are large users of energy, there are residential users, and also small and large commercial
users. Mr. Hugg stated that the cost of providing energy services to them is not the same in every
case, so one of the caveats of the rate study is to provide some degree of fairness so that one group
is not carrying the burden for the other groups.
Mr. Hugg stated that we want to be competitive in the universe of utility suppliers; however, it
doesn’t mean that we will be the lowest rates, and we certainly do not want to be the highest subject
to some policy decisions that may be made about economic development, or social equity. Mr.
Hugg explained that there are reasons occasionally that instead of trying to be fair to every user
group, one user group may benefit more or less than another one, simply because we may want a
rate that encourages certain kinds of users to be here or not.
Mr. Hugg explained that we have a variety of tools available to us as part of our operations and as
part of the rate structure. He further explained that we have the Purchase Power Adjustment, which
is a tool for leveling out the fluctuations that happen during the year, so you do not have spikes in
costs and revenues, which can be either a credit or debit. The city of Dover, for several years,
issued a credit because our rates were generating excess revenues. Mr. Hugg explained that in the
first nine months of the fiscal year 2023, we had a debit, so we needed to make up for the shortfall,
however, in setting the rates, you generally start with a PPCA of zero. He stated that then you can
adjust and keep things relatively constant during the course of a year.
Mr. Hugg stated that it is important to develop a minimum billing rate, and whether you use
electricity or not, there is a cost to the electric utility for having a line coming to and a meter
hanging on the house. There is an obligation to make sure that whatever level of service is needed
is provided. Mr. Hugg further explained that in the rate structure, there are minimum customer
charges, which are the cost of having the utility available when you need it. Mr. Hugg explained
that the rate study also includes the need for any specialized equipment, characteristics of usage,
demand characteristics, energy requirements, and time of service. Mr. Hugg stated that for large
users, it is important to have provisions in the rate structure that deal with whatever the character
of use is for that industry or business. He further stated that certain businesses have a very high
usage at certain periods, and they may not at other periods, so it is necessary to capture those
variations. Mr. Hugg explained that part of the operation or any set-aside reserves should reflect
the difference between providing service inside the city of Dover, and in those cases where we
provide services outside the city so that people outside the city are not getting the benefit of
services that we provide to our citizens who are paying taxes.
Mr. Anderson stated that he has a bit of concern after looking over the various rates, in particular,
Page 16
Paj 17
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 11
Item #2.
the small commercial rates. He asked that the rate study consultant come prepared to break down
why we are not able to spread out the commercial rates so that small businesses don’t get hit with
a 30% increase. Mr. Anderson explained he would like to hear justification or alternatives for
spreading that out through commercial and transmission rates.
Mr. Sudler stated that he agreed with Mr. Anderson that he would also be interested in seeing how
we can break down the 30% increase on small commercial rates.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Waddell, Electric Director, stated that Scott Burnham, Partner and
Business Development Lead, NewGen Strategies, and Solutions, will be presenting the rate study,
and he will look at each classification, also explaining why and what the justification is for the
movement.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Waddell explained that the cost is for the recovery of the
transformer replacement, reconductoring, capital projects, labor, materials, and whatever is needed
to operate the electric system.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Waddell explained that the rate increase is not a tax.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Waddell stated that when electricity is transmitted through the city,
it is run in three-phase and single-phase. Mr. Waddell further explained that three-phase is the
backbone, and once it splits off from the three-phase transmission loop or a primary distribution
loop, it is going to split off into an A, B, or C phase off the main line and service individual
customers. Mr. Waddell stated that in a residence, you have a single phase, meaning that you only
operate off one phase of the three-phase. Mr. Waddell further stated that in commercial service,
you need three-phase to operate if you are running motors, pumps, etc.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Waddell explained that under a small commercial service
classification, you are one or the other unless they have multiple services. Mr. Waddell further
explained that once they hit 3,500 Kilowatt-hours per month of consumption, that is when they
move up the commercial bracket. Mr. Waddell stated that the classification could technically be
residential, but per the tariff, if you go above 3,500, it changes the classification. He further
explained that in some other communities and with some other utilities, they charge demand
charges for residential customers, which Dover does not.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg explained that to treat all the classifications fairly, and in the
case of small commercial, their cost greatly exceeded the return from that investment. Having said
that, the city has the ability to pick out a classification or a couple of classifications and keep them
due to their vulnerability to the local economy and make a policy decision to raise or lower the
contribution.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Waddell explained that there was an economic development rate, and
in addition to that, they were able to keep a company that expanded from Maryland. He further
explained that it is a tool that has been used, and it is a tool that can be used to bring a company
that would otherwise not come here, or it could be used to keep them from leaving Dover.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Waddell stated that the average usage for residential is
Page 17
Paj 18
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2023 PAGE 12
Item #2.
approximately 892 KWH per month, and the highest usage he has seen is between 5000-6000. Mr.
Waddell stated that the national average for residential is around 860-870; however, he took all
the residential sales for the last calendar year and then divided that by the number of meters, and
it came out to 892, and the lowest was 500.
Responding to Mr. Waddell stated that he didn’t have the average usage for commercial service
with him, he would send them to Mr. Sudler.
Mr. Anderson stated that due to the rate study not being completed before now and the public
hearing being postponed until June 26, 2023, people will only have four days before July 1, 2023.
He asked what would need to be done to have the rate increase take place on August 1, 2023, and
how that would impact the budget.
Mr. Rocha agreed with Mr. Anderson that it should be deferred to August 1, 2023.
Mr. Waddell stated that the rates take effect with billing dates on or after July 1, 2023, so there
will not be a June component. He explained that he will confirm this information during the
Electric Rate Presentation.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mayor Christiansen confirmed that he and Mr. Hare negotiated that
special electric rate for 24 months to draw the business from Maryland.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Waddell stated that the NACE contract is until 2027.
Mr. Neil stated that there is going to be a psychological effect no matter when the rate increase
goes into effect. He further stated that the surcharge for the additional cost of the power was up 3
cents on each kilowatt. Mr. Neil stated that there are two increases the residential rate is going to
be up 2.6 cents, and the monthly charge is $1.04. Mr. Neil explained that the only advantage is
that if the city brings in more money, the rate can be dropped. He further explained that it was for
a long period when there were favorable rates. Mr. Neil explained that the City of Dover is trying
to make sure that it is fluid, and that the cost of the operation is covered, so it is a give-and-take if
necessary. Mr. Neil explained that he is not concerned if it has to be delayed but warned everyone
to be prepared 2.6 cents is not far off from 3 cents.
SETTING OF PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET
A public hearing on the Electric Revenue Fund Budget is required for compliance with the City
of Dover Electric Revenue Bonds Resolution prior to the adoption of the budget. Staff
recommended that the public hearing be set for June 26, 2023, at 6:30 p.m.

Page 23
Paj 24
Item #4.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend that the request for exemption be reviewed.
Ms. Stark, Finance Director, represented Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity and started by
pointing out that the organization is a non-profit organization.
She continued the by going over the current status of each property starting with, 101 N West
Street which is currently under construction and will be completed within the next 4 months.
29 S Governors is located next to 23 and 25 S Governors Ave. These three lots were combined
and then split into equal lots.
The organization is currently waiting for funding they submitted for the property located 39 S New
Street, therefore Ms. Stark had no construction dates for this property yet.
Mr. Zuck asked if the properties will go back onto the tax roll after they are completed, Ms. Stark
explained that the organization first finds a new family for which the home will be built, so before
construction begins, the organization knows how many bedrooms and bathrooms are needed. Ones
the home is complete the new homeowner will receive a low interest loan from the organization
and will be responsible for all payments regarding the property.
Mr. Zuck asked if the property located at 29 S Governors Ave is a vacant lot and Ms. Stark told
him that it is, she mentioned that if the organization purchases a property with a building on it,
they usually demolish the building within the first few months of owning it.
Mr. Burns commended the organization for the great work they do.
Mr. Burns noted that the organization comes before the board every year and was wondering if the
properties before them where the same properties are the Board discussed during the hearing in
2021.
Ms. Stark told the board that she was given a two-year window and to come back if nothing has
been built on the lots. She said that ones the organization purchases the lots they try to build and
sell the homes as fast as possible.
Mr. Burns asked if the organization has any maintenance requirements.
Ms. Stark replied that ones the new owner takes over the property they are responsible for
everything.
Mr. Davis made a motion to approve the 3 properties for the exemption, which was seconded by
Mr. Burns.
Motion carried 4-0.
Mrs. Marney, who attended the meeting via WEBEX, asked if the exemption should be amended
to include that if the properties would not be sold within 2 years, the organization would have to
2

re-apply for the exemption.
Mr. Davis made a motion to amend the prior approval to include the exemption to be approved for
2 years, if the property has not been sold the organization is to re-apply.
Motion carried 4-0.
Capitol Baptist Church of Dover
Location: Exempt Request:
1305 New Burton Rd 139,200
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office.
The purpose of the property is to provide temporary housing to visiting missionaries/preachers as
needed, per the pastor’s request.
Terry Moore, Paster of the church, was present for the hearing and started by telling the board
members that the property is used to house missionaries when they come of the field.
He explained that the church will be supporting approximately 60 missionaries at no charge, after
renovations are completed.
Mr. Zuck asked if the church will be renting the home to the missionaries, Pastor Moore told him
that they will let the missionaries stay at the home free of charge.
Mr. Davis was wondering where the missionaries come from, Pastor Moore explained that they
come from all over the world but can only stay in other countries for a certain amount of time due
to visa time limits, therefore they must come back to the States at which time the missionaries look
for churches that support them and provide a place for them to stay.
Mr. Burns asked how many people would be staying at the property, Pastor Moore told him, that
only one family at a time would be in the house.
Mr. Doyle asked if this is the first home the church offers to missionaries, Pastor Moore told him
that there is already a home like this next to the church, which is already tax exempt.
Chairman Garfinkel explained that if the Church does not charge any rent and the church would
not collect any rent, the property would be considered a charitable property.
Mr. Burns made the motion to accept the exempt request which was seconded by Mr. Davis.
Motion carried 4-0.

Children and Families First DE Inc.
Location: Exempt Request:
195 Willis Rd $737,200
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office.
Per the application this property is used to help children face adversity and to help families raise
their children
Ray D’Alessio, Senior Accountant, was present to represent the organization.
He told the board that the organization is a non-profit organization, and that this property will be
used for their “Head-Start Program” which includes interventions and education.
Chairman Garfinkel asked how many children would be enrolled in this program? Mr. D’Alessio
told him that it varies, could be up to 25 children.
Chairman Garfinkel asked if the children pay to be in the program, Mr. D’Alessio told him that
the program is funded by another organization.
Mr. Zuck asked if the property was rented or if Children and Families First DE Inc. owns the
property. Mr. D’Alessio explained the organization purchased the property about a year ago.
Mr. Burns asked how many properties like this are in the State of Delaware and was told that there
are at least 4 “Head-Start” facilities right now and that they are all exempt from paying property
taxes.
Mr. Davis asked how old the students are, and what the intervention aspect initials.
Mr. D’Alessio explained that the children are as young as kindergarten age and that some of them
have been abused.
Mr. Burns made the motion to approve the exemption which was seconded by Mr. Davis. The
motion included a requirement for the company to present their form 990 to the tax office for
record. The form was received via email.
Motion carried 4-0.

Item #4.
Elizabeth W. Murphy School Inc.
Location: Exempt Request:
20 Pennsylvania Ave $149,600
535 S State St $146,200
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
An exemption request was submitted to the Assessor’s Office.
The nature of the business or purpose is to help children under the age of 18 who are in need of an
alternative community-based environment.
Mr. Kopp, Executive Director, was present for the hearing.
Chairman Garfinkel suggested to discuss the two properties at the same time unless Mr, Kopp
wanted to discuss them separately, Mr. Kopp agreed.
Mr. Kopp told the Board that the Elizabeth W Murphy School is a non-profit organization is
exempt from paying property taxes, which is why he filed for tax exemption for the two properties,
which had just been purchased.
He explained that foster children that the reach the age of 18, can no longer stay at the school,
therefore Mr. Kopp purchased these homes, so these children now have a place to stay. Since these
houses are located close to the school, teachers and staff can periodically check in on the students.
These students are taught to become independent, they learn how to drive and take care of a car,
etc.
With these houses located so close to downtown Dover, the students can walk to stores and jobs.
Mr. Doyle asked if the school was able to help the children who turned 18 before the purchase of
these houses?
Mr. Kopp said that, since foster children who turned 18 years of age could no longer stay at the
school unless they were not finished with high school, at which time they could stay until the age
of 19, Mr. Kopp started writing grants in 1987, so he could get funding from the State to place
foster children who can no longer stay at the school or in foster homes in homes where they could
be taught life skills.
Mr. Kopp mentioned earlier in the conversation that he was told by the settlement attorney that no
“Change of Use” for the property was necessary, which was a concern for Chairman Garfinkel, he
5
Page 27
Paj 28
Item #4.
thought since the homes went from a single-family home to a constitution there should be a
“Change of Use” for the properties. He asked Mr. Kopp if the Planning and Zoning office had been
contacted to inquire about the number of occupants.
Mr. Burns believes that 4 unrelated occupants per home was accepted but questioned that 6
occupants per home, that Mr. Kopp had mentioned earlier, was too much. Mr. Burns was
concerned that the zoning for the properties was no longer correct.
Mr. Davis also felt that it would be best for the organization to inquire about the zoning for the
properties. He is not questioning the work the school does for the children or the exempt request
but would like for Mr. Kopp to talk to Planning and Zoning.
Chairman Garfinkel did not want to hold up the exempt request but wanted to make sure the school
inquiries about the zoning for the properties, therefore made the motion to give the school a
conditional exemption for one year, allowing the school enough time to meet with someone from
the Planning and Zoning office and have a letter drawn up for the Board regarding zoning for the
properties.
Mr. Davis seconded the motion.
Motion carried 4-0.
Senior Citizen/Disabled Citizen Reduction Appeal
Suzanne Cerro
Location:
27 Fieldstone Ct.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Nicole Cerro, the owner of record for the property located at 27 Fieldstone Court Dover DE,
contacted the City of Dover Tax Office to find out if her mother Suzanne, who has been living at
27 Fieldstone Court Dover, DE, would qualify for the Senior Citizen Tax Reduction.
Since Suzanne Cerro is not the owner of record, Nicole Cerro was told that her mother would not
qualify for the reduction because the City of Dover code states the “Title to the property for which
the exemption is sought must be in the name of the applicant”.
Exempt Request:
6
Page 28
Paj 29
Item #4.
The assessed value of $130,000 to be reduced by $50,000.
Ms. Suzann Cerro was present for the hearing and started by explaining that she has been living at
the property and paying the taxes since 2008.
She feels that because she is a Senior Citizen she should qualify for the discount, even though she
is not listed as the owner.
Ms. Cerro explained that she is not listed as the owner because there is a judgment against her, due
to a divorce, which keeps her from owning the property but that her daughter Nicole purchased
the property 20 years ago.
Ms. Cerro believes that because she has been paying taxes and utilities, she should be able to
qualify for the reduction.
Mr. Davis asked if the judgement was a financial judgment at which time Ms. Cerro explained the
circumstances that led to the judgement.
Ms. Cerro told the board that back then she had no money to fight the judgement and has since not
been able to fight it.
Chairman Garfinkel pointed out that the city ordinance states that the person seeking the reduction
must be listed as the owner and live at the property.
Mr. Cerro insisted that she is not a renter but lives at the property and pays the mortgage and would
like for the board to make an exception.
Chairman Garfinkel explained that the Board is not in position to go against the city code.
Ms. Cerro asked that if the Board was not able to make a one-time exception and the grand the
reduction, who would?
The Board members suggested for her to speak to her council representative.
Mr. Burns told Mr. Cerro that the Board has no authority to go against city code.
Mr. Burns then made the motion to deny the Senior Citizen Tax Reduction request, because the
owner is under 65 years of age and does not reside at the property.
Ms. Cerro interrupted Mr. Burns during the motion to say that she felt that the board needs to have
a heart and make an exception. Mr. Burns redirected the applicant and continued to present the
motion.
Mr. Doyle seconded the motion.

Ms. Cerro was concerned that her opportunity to contest the decision for this coming tax year was
over.
Mrs. Marney, who joined the hearing via WEBEX, told Ms. Cerro, that she has the option to send
a petition to City Council and would be heard sometime within the next few weeks, she also
suggested for Ms. Cerro to inquire about a quitclaim deed, which would transfer ownership from
her daughter to her without endangering the debt instrument. Ms. Cerro noted that this would
cause an eviction. Mrs. Marney advised Ms. Cerro to seek legal consult on the matter.
Ms. Cerro stated that she is on disability and does not have the funds to seek an attorney. She
asked if the information could be sent to her for appeal via email.
Mrs. Marney stated that she would send her the information through email.
Ms. Cerro continued to disagree with the board regarding their decision.
The board thanked Ms. Cerro for her application.

and Community Enhancement, Mr. Iriowen and Mr. Pugh (Utility), and Mr. Shevock and Mr. Contant
(via WebEx) (Legislative, Finance, and Administration).
ADOPTION OF AGENDA
Mr. Hare requested to move item one on the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, the
Homeland Security Grant Program to the first item on the Council Committee of the Whole agenda.
Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Anderson, and
unanimously carried.
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Approval for the Water System and Well Sites
Security Project (Kay Sass, Public Affairs and Emergency Management Coordinator)
Ms. Kay Sass, Public Affairs and Emergency Management Coordinator reviewed the background and
analysis regarding the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Approval for the Water System and
Well Sites Security Project.
Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to accept the reimbursement grant for all costs
associated with the purchase and installation of the video surveillance and fencing and authorizing the

Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairwoman Arndt
presiding.
Adoption of Agenda
Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.
Consideration of a Public Space Naming Policy (Tricia K. Arndt, Chair of Parks, Recreation,
and Community Enhancement Committee)
Ms. Tricia K. Arndt, Chair of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee
reviewed the background regarding the Consideration of a Public Space Naming Policy.
Mr. Boggerty stated that a set of criteria for the naming of parks does need to be established. Speaking
from experience, Mr. Boggerty stated there are only so many parks, there are so many great
constituents, and there has to be a way to save a park for them. Mr. Boggerty stated that there is a rest
stop up north with a memorial walk. Mr. Boggerty stated maybe the city can establish a memorial
Page 31

Item #5.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 13, 2023 PAGE 2
walk if the criteria are met, a brick can be purchased through Parks and Recreation, and families can
honor their loved ones for as long as they want.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Arndt stated she looked briefly into state policy and was not able to
find much. Ms. Arndt stated she thought about how bridges are named as this is what she is familiar
with, but she did not get a clear sense of their policy.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mayor Christiansen stated that park names have been generic except for
Schuttee Park and Williams Park in Town Point. Mayor Christiansen stated there have not been a lot
of requests and the reason those parks were named is that it was a part of the sales agreement that
Mayor Christiansen and Councilman VanSant consummated, the city saved $500,000 by naming the
park after the Schuttee family, and Williams Park is believed to be named after Senator Williams.
Mayor Christiansen stated that this is an important issue because there have been many great folks
who have served the city and who will serve the city in the future and there needs to be an alternative
way rather than naming an entire park.
Mr. Neil stated he liked the idea simply because it sets forth certain standards. Mr. Neil recommended
the creation of an Ad Hoc committee to come back with specific recommendations. Mr. Neil stated
that Ms. Arndt has provided several examples and just by looking at them they may be able to make a
presentation for consideration by the group. Mr. Neil stated there are different ideas from each example
that they may be able to agree on.
Mr. Sudler stated that when considering new candidates and names some of the established individuals
from history should also be considered. Mr. Sudler stated that he would like council to evaluate
whether the park is named after someone significant and what role they played in the community at
that time. Then it should be decided if that name should be kept or renamed.
Ms. Arndt stated that in the research she found there was a sunset provision where park names or place
names are revisited after 25 years for rededication, and it would be a community process at that time.
Ms. Arndt stated she was not moving towards renaming parks that have already been named. Ms.
Arndt mentioned some of the ordinances and resolutions had a standard application where the
applicant is required to state how the name reflects the community, or how the person was a benefit to
the community and why they deserve that recommendation.
Mr. Anderson stated that a formal Ad Hoc committee should be created so as to not violate any FOIA
laws in regard to open meeting laws and quorums.
Mr. Neil moved that an Ad Hoc committee be formed and advertised through the city website,
the city newsletter, and the newspapers for those who would like to join such an ad hoc
committee at a time and place to be announced. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and
unanimously carried.

Mr. Sudler reported that on May 26, 2023, he was approached by a resident who is very concerned

Relations Commission. Mr. Sudler forwarded her information to Mr. Boggerty and Mr. Hare as well.

Presentation – Electric Rate Study (Scott Burnham, Partner and Business Development Lead,
NewGen Strategies and Solutions)
Mr. Scott Burnham, Partner, and Business Development Lead, NewGen Strategies and Solutions,
reviewed the presentation titled Cost of Service Study.
Committee action was not required.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burnham stated that the green energy charge is a state-mandated
charge. It is almost like a tax for green energy funding by the state for renewable resources.
Page 34
Paj 35
Item #5.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 13, 2023 PAGE 5
Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Burnham stated that the primary and transmission are the voltage where
customers are taking service. The distribution system is made up of primary and secondary lines. There
is the high voltage at transmission, the 345 lines on the big transmission towers, this steps down to a
primary voltage and then steps down again to a secondary voltage. A secondary voltage is what most
people take but some people that have higher power needs might require a primary. If this is the case,
they have no cost responsibility for the secondary system. Mr. Burnham stated that when doing a cost-
of-service study there needs to be a differentiation so that they are not assigned costs that they are not
responsible for.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Burnham stated that they have taken the projected costs as they were
estimated by both TEA as well as by staff, looked over a five-year basis, and then took the average of
that. Mr. Burnham stated that it is incumbent upon the utility to say these estimates were made of what
the costs will be and that the power market from where you buy power could drop or it could also go
up. Mr. Burnham stated that there may be a need to go back and revise the rates or to use the power
purchase adjustment mechanism to recover those costs or to refund money back to customers.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Burnham stated that they have not done that analysis, but he believes
it would have a significant impact on the financial condition. Historically the power supply costs were
roughly $40 million, then they jumped up to $80 million. After the three-cent adder, they have come
back down but they have not come down to $40 million, they are sitting at about $60 million. Mr.
Burnham stated that there would be a concern that the city would end up short, and there is not a lot
of room in the reserves for that kind of cost.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Burnham stated that he is asking about seasonality in terms of rates,
and seasonal rates are seen on a regular basis. The city gets power from the PJM market, and there is
a difference between summer and winter costs. Mr. Burnham stated that they could analyze the costs
and see a potential for seasonal rates.
Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Burnham stated that it is taking the one-month customer charge of
$9.42, the average customer usage, 892 kilowatt-hours, times 1481, plus 892 times the green energy
charge to come up with the total bill. In the subsequent change or phase, one is taking the same billing
determinants that the kilowatt-hours and the customer times the rates proposed.
Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Burnham stated that for June it would be an increase, relative to the
average bill, however, it would be a decrease.
Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Waddell stated that the DEMEC and TEA would perform close to
the same functions. TEA, The Energy Authority, provides a greater scope and scale of services than
the DEMEC. There could be fluctuations in power costs but there is no way to know. Mr. Waddell
stated that it is all coming from the seller of said energy and what the cost of natural gas is.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Waddell stated that before implementing the three-set PCA or PPA, the
city was number one across the board, with the lowest total bill utility among all the municipalities
including Co-op and Delmarva, with the exception being either large commercial or primary class.
With the implementation of the proposed rates, the city would go from one to fifth on a majority of
those, the lag would be found in large commercial or primary. Mr. Waddell stated that when looking
at the disparity between the lowest and the highest it is roughly $2 in a residential bill. The city would
not be the lowest, but it would not be the highest.
Page 35

Item #5.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 13, 2023 PAGE 6
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Waddell stated that the plan is to keep the rate fixed starting July 1,
2023, and then stay the course through July 25’. Mr. Waddell stated that the last rate study and
adjustments were made in 2018. They are still operating off 2018 projections and calculations, so a lot
of things have changed, and this is due.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Burnham stated that they did look at all the reserve accounts and
discussed with Ms. Peddicord the possibility of removing some of those funds and using funds to
reduce the revenue requirement and allocating that to the different customer classes. Mr. Burnham
stated that to the extent that they could they did, they pulled some money out of the rate stabilization
fund. The other funds, however, did not have excess funds in them, so they were meeting policy limits.
Mr. Rocha stated that he brought his electric bill and his charge for this month was $150.64, when
calculated with the new rate, it will jump to $177.56, a difference of $26.92.
Responding to Mr. Pugh, Mr. Waddell stated that it is mandatory that 0.000178 for every kilowatt
sold, there are some municipalities that charge double. However, state law dictates that the minimum
is charged, and that is what the city charges.
Responding to Ms. Marney, Mr. Waddell stated that Ms. Marney is referring to the calculations for
the budget which is based on revenue from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. So, if there is a delay in the
implementation of all the rates, there will be a loss of one month’s projected revenue increase. All the
funds will be one month behind, with one-twelfth of what they were projected to have.
Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, hearing no objection the
meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding.
Adoption of Agenda
Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried.
Dover Code of Ordinances – Citation Discussion (Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community
Development Director)
Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Planning and Community Development Director reviewed the background and
analysis regarding the Dover Code of Ordinances – Citation Discussion.
Staff recommended approval of the four bulleted recommendations included in the memo from Mary
Ellen Gray.
Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Gray stated that there is no military provision in the policy.
Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Rocha stated that from his experience, if the individual was living
on base and went TDY, they would be responsible for their grass, so it should not be any different
when they live out in the community.
Page 36

Item #5.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 13, 2023 PAGE 7
Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Gray stated that yes, the proposal is that the notice would be placed on
the door, and they would have 48 hours to mow their grass.
Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Kopp stated that with the legal aspects of code administration, they can
enter the property to post a notice, which could be hanging a door hanger, however, they cannot enter
a property for any reason to obtain a violation or evidence of a violation, that is considered trespassing.
Mr. Kopp stated they take pictures using a landmark like the bricks on the side of the house, or a
mailbox post. Mr. Kopp stated when someone calls about a notice he asks, “Can I come to your house
with a meter stick and measure that landmark, and will it be under eight inches?”. Mr. Kopp also stated
that the weather cannot be a valid excuse, it is not fair when 98 of the neighbors out of 100 maintain
their grass. Mr. Kopp also stated that they try to talk to people as much as possible.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Kopp stated that if someone calls regarding a grass citation, they will go
out and measure the grass and if it is under eight inches, it is not necessarily an appeal, but a void of
the case because the violation did not exist. The case will be voided because the violation was issued
in error and that will be annotated in the case file. Mr. Kopp stated that if a month later there is a grass
violation on that property, they do not get charged with a second offense. Mr. Kopp stated that they
would get a citation, but it would be their first citation not their second. In addition, Mr. Kopp stated
that the door hanger has their phone number. Mr. Kopp stated that the constituents can call and request
an extension, the only time an extension is denied is when an extension is requested every month to
get out of fixing the problem.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that they already removed from the violation letter the part
where it says you can appeal a grass citation.
Mr. Hare moved to accept the staff recommendation.
Mr. Lewis requested that the addition of what was suggested by the council members be considered.
Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval as recommended by staff with the addition of the
suggestions made by the council members. The motion was seconded by Ms. Arndt and
unanimously carried.
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Municipal Collaborative Initiative with the
Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (Sharon Duca, Assistant City
Manager)
Ms. Sharon Duca, Assistant City Manager reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Safe
Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Municipal Collaborative Initiative with the Dover/Kent
County Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Staff recommended that City Council make a leadership commitment to participate with the
Dover/Kent County MPO, and other municipalities, in the application to the SS4A program to prepare
a regional Comprehensive Safety Action Plan.
Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Duca stated that the $30,000 that was referenced was a possibility for
what would have to be paid towards the comprehensive planning grant with DelDOT coming forward
to pay for that, the city has no financial responsibility for the action plan phase. Ms. Duca stated that
if the action plan comes up with projects that the city would like to pursue, the city could move forward
Page 37

with a grant in a subsequent year, then the city would need to come up with twenty percent of what
that anticipated cost would be.

by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

abatement period, the qualifying facility is sold to a non-associated outside party, the council has the option
to both cancel all remaining years of the abatement program for the facility, and/ or require the selling party
to reimburse the city for all tax abatement amounts allowed. The acceptance of any tax rebates under this

Staff requests permission to return the 18 properties shown below to the tax rolls at the stated assessed value
and to cancel any remaining unexpired time left in the abatement period. Staff recommends that any past
abatements approved be permitted to stand as the properties were sold by non-profit organizations.
Staff also recommend an amendment to the code to permit the removal of abatements upon the recording of sale
of the property to be made administratively in the future.
