Budget Summary City of Dover
BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process is conducted to comply with all charter mandates.
The City Charter mandates the following:
The City Manager shall prepare and submit to the Council a budget presenting a financial plan for conducting the
affairs of the City for the ensuing fiscal year. The total of proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of
anticipated income.
The budget shall include the following information:
● A detailed statement showing the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the
current year and last preceding fiscal year
● A detailed estimate of the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the ensuing
fiscal year with reasons for the increases and decreases recommended
● The value of supplies and materials on hand
● The amount of the debt of the City with a schedule of maturities of bond issues
● A statement showing the amount required for interest on the City debt and for paying off any bonds
maturing during the year and the amount required for the sinking fund
● An itemized statement of all anticipated income of the City with a comparative statement of the amounts
received by the City from each of the same or similar sources for the last preceding and current fiscal
years
● An estimate of the amount of money to be received from taxes
● Other information as the City Manager may think desirable or as may be required by the Council
The Council shall, on or before the second Monday in July in each year, adopt a budget for the succeeding fiscal
year. The Council shall, as far as possible, adhere to the budget so adopted in the making of appropriations.
The preparation of the budget begins with the establishment of goals and parameters through the City Manager's
office. In October, the City Manager’s office distributed comprehensive budget instructions to department heads.
The City of Dover's method of budgeting has evolved from concepts of many budgeting methods. A line-item form of
budget is used to account for expenses and revenues. In recent years, the City has incorporated concepts of
programmatic budgeting which focuses on programs performed. Programs are examined periodically for their
relevance and effectiveness, a concept which comes from zero-based budgeting philosophy.
In February of 2024, budget line items for both the current budget and proposed budget were reviewed with
department heads to determine if service levels were to be maintained, improved, or reduced. New projects for the
Capital Investment Plan were reviewed at this time as well. Revenues were projected as accurately as possible, in
order to set priorities for proposed expenditures.
The Council will review the proposed budget in lat e May . June 10, 2024 has been set for the Electric Fund
Budg et Public Hearing. Public comments on the entire FY25 City Budget were also sought on this date. The budget
is made available on the City of Dover website at https://www.cityofdover.com/public-documents.
According to the ordinance, the proposed budget must go through two readings. After the budget’s adoption,
monthly financial reports are issued to monitor and control the budget during the fiscal year.

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

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

Budget Summary City of Dover
BUDGET POLICY GUIDELINES
The City of Dover follows numerous policy guidelines when preparing the budget. The most significant guidelines
follow:
The budget should be balanced with current revenues being equal to or greater than current
expenditures/expenses. The following approaches are employed to balance the budget in order of priority: improve
productivity, create new service fees, raise existing service fees based on the cost of services, eliminate programs,
increase property taxes, and lastly, reduce or eliminate services.
The tax rate should be competitive with nearby cities and cities of comparable size. The rate should produce
revenue adequate to pay for approved City services. Qualified senior citizens receive a $50,000 exemption from the
assessed value.
The General Fund shall realize returns from the Enterprise Funds, excluding the Sanitation Fund and Stormwater
Fund. The returns should not sacrifice improvements to the utilities. The budget includes transfers of $10,000,000
from the Electric Fund and $1,00,000 each from the Wastewater and Water Funds for a total transfer from the Utility
Funds to the General Fund of $12,000,000. This makes up a combined 23.4% of the General Fund revenues.
Contingency Funds shall be maintained in the General, Sanitation, Stormwater, Wastewater, Water, and Electric
Funds. These contingencies should be adequate to handle unexpected expenditures/expenses. The General,
Sanitation, Stormwater, Wastewater, and Water Funds should maintain an amount equal to at least two percent of
the current year’s operating revenues. The Electric Revenue Fund should maintain an amount equal to at least one
percent of the current year’s operating revenues. The City may only use monies in the contingency funds in times
of unforeseen emergency expenditures.
Investments made by the City will address safety, liquidity, and yield. Interest earned from investment of available
funds will be distributed to funds according to ownership of the invested funds. The City’s investment policy
authorizes investment of City funds in U.S. Government Securities, fully insured or fully collateralized Certificates of
Deposit with federally insured institutions, the State investment pool, and Repurchase Agreements.
Utility rates are reviewed annually to ensure that they will generate revenues adequate to cover operating expenses,
meet the legal requirements of bond covenants, and allow adequate capital replacement.
EXPLANATION OF FUNDS
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to
governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
● Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized based on funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self- balancing accounts
that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be
spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
The City reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Sanitation Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to sanitation services, including payment of fees for waste
disposal. 13
Paj 28
Budget Summary City of Dover
Stormwater Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to stormwater services, including National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Compliance
Wastewater Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to wastewater services, including the payment of fees
to Kent County for the treatment of sewage.
Water Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to water services. The City also holds lease agreements with
cell phone companies for equipment placed on City water towers.
Electric Revenue Fund: This fund incorporates all transactions related to the generation transmission and distribution
of electricity. The Energy Authority (TEA) is contracted to manage the City’s power procurement, and North
American Energy Services (NAES) is contracted to operate and maintain Dover’s electric generators at the Van Sant
unit.
The City reports the following non-major funds:
Internal Service Fund: The City has created one internal service fund to account for the activities related to self-
insured Workers Compensation. Receipts are providing from contributions by the City’s six major funds. Expenses
are related to payment of claims, premiums, and administration costs. Actuarial analyses are completed triennially to
ensure enough reserves for claims for the Workers Compensation Fund.
Special Revenue Funds: These funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditure for specified purposes. This includes the Ambulance Service Fund.
Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds consist of trust and agency funds and are used to report assets held by the City in
a trustee or agency capacity for others. These funds are, therefore, not available to support City programs.
The City is the trustee for the City’s two pension plans: the Police Pension Fund and the Employee Pension Fund.
The City allocates the costs of certain governmental services to the costs of business-type activities (indirect
expense allocation). These costs include allocated amounts of City management, centralized budgetary formulation
and oversight, accounting financial reporting, information technology, payroll, procurement, contracting and oversight,
investing and cash management, personnel services, etc. The allocations are charged to the business-type activities
based on the use of these services. As a matter of policy, the costs of certain governmental functions are not allocated
to business-type activities such as public safety, library, recreation, permitting, inspections, streets, sanitation, community,
and economic development.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless
of the measurement focus applied.
All Governmental Funds, Expendable Trusts, and Agency Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis
of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets.
Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and billable service charges. All other revenues
are accounted for when they are received.
Property taxes are recognized in the fiscal period for which they are levied provided they are “available’ – i.e., they
are collected in the current period or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenues reported in the government funds to be available if the
revenues are collected 60 days after year-end, except for trash collection, which has a 30-day collection period.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund
liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
recognized when due. Also, claims and judgments and compensated absences are recognized as expenditures to
the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental
funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
14
Paj 29
Budget Summary City of Dover
The government-wide financial statements as well as all proprietary and fiduciary trust funds are accounted for
using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus. Their revenues are
recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The City prepares the budget for Governmental Fund types in which the expenditures are estimated based on
liabilities for goods and services to be incurred during the fiscal year. Revenues for the General Fund are budgeted
on a cash basis except for property taxes and billable services, which are on a modified accrual basis. Under the
cash basis of budgeting transactions are recognized only when cash is received. Under modified accrual basis
revenues are recorded when they are earned (whether cash is received at the time). The expenditures are accounted
for when the purchase orders are issued. Encumbrances are established when purchase orders are issued and
accounted for as a designation of fund balance at year-end. The budget is amended in the subsequent year for
the outstanding encumbrances of the prior year.
Budgets for the Electric Revenue Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund, Stormwater Fund, Sanitation Fund, and
Internal Service Fund are prepared on an accrual basis. Revenues are recorded when they are earned, and
expenditures are recorded when goods and services are received whether cash disbursements are made at the time
or not. Budgets are prepared under the assumption that the principal redemption of long-term debt must be assumed
by Enterprise Fund activity in conformity with the bond ordinance.
The budget is presented in this document in the legal budget format (non-GAAP) adopted by the City. Under this
method: Capital outlays are considered expenditures; grants are considered as revenues and not contributions to
capital; depreciation is not budgeted; debt service proceeds are considered to be revenues, not an increase in
liabilities; debt payments are shown as expenditures rather than reductions of liabilities; proceeds from the sale of
assets are considered revenue, however, the gain or loss is not.

Project Name Police Officer Body Worn Cameras & Tasers Category Equipment
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $891,400
Description
This project outlines the purchase for 100 body worn cameras and 100 Taser device upgrades.
The implementation of a body worn camera (BWC) program has been on the Police Department CIP Project list since 2017 when the department
previewed systems available by several manufacturers. The department tested and evaluated BWCs from Axon and Coban and incorporated the
framework of a policy for their use into its written directives system. Funding for the program has been the primary hurdle for the project to
succeed, but the integration of the program into the department’s operations is the other factor. The overall system increases the workload
associated with the management of the data beyond reasonable levels that could be handled by existing department personnel. There are two
options for implementing the data management for the BWC program: use of a secure cloud based system, where the data is stored to secured
cloud storage (Axon) or use of department servers for the storage of the data (Coban). The department migrated to Coban systems and maintains
all its in-car camera and interview room systems data on department servers and was initially hoping this system could be expanded to include
BWCs and create savings by storing the data in-house versus paying additional costs for cloud storage. However, the BWC equipment and
associated software package offered by Coban lacks the necessary functions to manage the video files effectively.
As a result, the department requests that funds be authorized for purchase of the BWC solution offered by AXON/TASER. The perceived cost
savings offered by Coban quickly disappeared after mapping out the workflow through all of our mandated processes. For the foreseeable future, it
is assessed that the Coban dash cams and interview room devices will serve their intended purpose. At some point, when practical and economical,
there is a likelihood that the Axon version of dash and room cameras will be obtained to achieve maximum efficiency in the zone of video
evidence. During the most recent period of BWC research, facts came to light regarding our existing Taser devices which are part of the Axon
product line.
While negotiating for the best possible pricing and payment terms, we became aware of updated Taser devices, improved inter-operability of Axon
products, improved accountability controls and the introduction of a virtual reality training option for when the Taser is being considered in
situations involving “at-risk” individuals. While there has been no official announcement made, Axon is on track to eliminate the option of buying
their Taser products in individual units. A chronic problem of gaps in device maintenance that have impacted risk management concerns have been
found with the current Taser model in use in the department. Axon is introducing, and will eventually migrate to, a “Certification” program. This
program will basically pull all of the separately priced components of the Taser system into a bundled subscription system.
The costs outlined below include the hardware (cameras, docks and mounts) needed for each officer to wear them on their uniforms, licenses for
the officers use of the cameras as well as licenses needed to access the Evidence.com cloud storage, an extended warranty for all the docks and
integration fees to our CAD/RMS systems. Finally a one-time setup-up and training fee is included for a 4-day session at the start of the program
for all users involved. In addition the expenditures below also include the cost of an additional civilian position with a background in law
enforcement to manage the increase in digital evidence resulting from the BWC program.
In addition, if purchased on the proposed schedule, as a five year package, all Dover PD field personnel would immediately receive the newest
version of the Taser device and Body Worn Cameras. Included in the price per device bundle would be all scheduled camera upgrades as well as
associated equipment including mounts, holsters, duty cartridges, training cartridges, replacement cartridges following use, batteries, vouchers for
all required instructor training, a live-action training suit for the agency, warranty coverage, and all of the new virtual-reality training available
during the package timeline.
Council approval for this project is currently being pursued as a result of the national spotlight on increasing transparency and accountability in
police operations. Approval of the BWC program is highly anticipated, however, the funding for it is still challenging. As a result, grant funding
is also being pursued to help off-set the costs to the city for implementing these transformational programs.
Justification
1.This project will enhance police investigations and ensure transparency with police /civilian contacts, provide clarity for complaints made against
police officers and reduce the amount of civil liability.
2.Accountability will be upgraded with the automatic activation of the BWC through installed technology and when the new version of Taser or the
duty firearm is removed from its holster.
3.Improved access to data will result with the automatic upload of Taser discharge data directly from the smart battery to the Office of Professional
Standards and other reporting systems.
4.Additional background information concerning both programs and the associated costs is attached to this project form.

Project # ST2501
Useful Life 20-25 years
Project Name Street, Concrete and Alley Program Category General
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $6,202,535
Description
This project will rehabilitate approximately one to three percent (1-3%) of the street and alley network each year. The estimated capital
maintenance costs are $51 million over a 20-year planning horizon in FY 2017 dollars. This estimate is based on the needs survey conducted by
Public Works in FY 2017. Continuous maintenance on these assets will prevent costlier reconstruction in the future. This project combines the
former Street Resurfacing Program, the Alley Program and the Barrier Free Access Ramp Program. FY 2025 anticipated projects are as follows:
•Bicentennial Blvd (Walker Road to End)
•Carver Road (Forest Street to Saulsbury Road)
•Columbia Avenue (Pear Street to State)
•S. Governors Alleys (2)
•E. Division Street Alleys (3)
Justification
Replacement of deteriorated curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provides improved use, drainage, and the appearance of the pavement section. The
Street, Concrete and Alley Program schedule is driven by funding and road ratings. Total street mileage is growing as more roads and alleys are
dedicated for public maintenance due to growth. Additionally, this program promotes the interconnection of the sidewalk network to conform to
ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) and rehabilitates sidewalks that have root damage from City street trees. This program
also facilitates compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as it relates to the pedestrian network as well as improving localized drainage
issues.

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

Project # WW2502
Useful Life 20-25 years
Project Name Heatherfield Pump Station Replacement Category Water/Wastewater
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $545,000
Description
This project calls for replacement of the Smith & Loveless package pumping station, installed in 1985, in order to handle development in the area,
as well as completely rehabilitate the wet well side of the pump station using a poly-triplex system liner. The station has exceeded its life
expectancy of 20-25 years and is in need of a capacity upgrade to handle anticipated growth in the basin.
Justification
Replace the aged station with a completely new station to prevent the need for costly unbudgeted repairs to maintain operation, thus reducing pump
failure resulting in a sewage spill into waterway or backup in a residence. Due to the age of the station, certain parts are no longer obtainable and
replacement of equipment is costly. Feasibility study in FY 2022, design in FY 2023, construction in FY 2025.

Project # EE2215
Useful Life 30 Years
Project Name Garrison Oak / Sun Park Substation Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $9,000,000
Description
A two part project that started with the engineering portion completed in FY21, this funding will order, construct and commission a new substation
at the Garrison Oak Business & Technology Park. The substation will be capable of powering the entire park and be of a ring bus design that will
allow for redundancy in the event of a breaker failure. Additionally, the substation could be used to provide power to any new developments in the
area of the and give the City more flexibility to perform system switching by increasing the tie points available. There will also be provisions in the
station footprint to allow for the installation of an additional transformer should the energy demand of the park grow in the future. In 2022, the city
was awarded a $5M matching grant for the completion of the substation. This project is not an additional amount of the original $7M but an
allocation of funds to support the full $5M appropriation amount. Due to material delays, the total cost of the substation has increased and this
amount plus the appropriations amount will provide additional funding for the project.
Justification
As occupancy of Garrison Oak Technology Park increases, the amount of power drawn will exceed the capabilities of the current City of Dover
Transmission and Distribution system. We currently have less than 2 megawatts of reserve power for contingency situations for Calpine and we
estimate approximately 500 to 2000 kilowatts of demand per lot. This additional load will not be attainable without a new substation to dedicate to
the park and allow distribution to a limited number of customers outside the park in residential areas.

Project # EE2501
Useful Life 10-15 years
Project Name Substation Battery Replacement Category Electric
Priority 5
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $127,000
Description
Each substation contains a bank of up to 60 batteries used to supply DC voltage for the control of relays and other equipment in the substations
during loss of power conditions. The amount of batteries at each substation is dependent on the manufacturer and size of the individual cells. This
project will provide the required funds to replace not only the batteries but also the racks and chargers as needed. This replacement program is part
of the larger Substation Assessment program that will identify and correct broken and aged substation equipment. The cost projections listed
below reflect a replacement of the batteries, stand and charger.
Justification
Substation batteries are crucial in the restoration effort as they allow for the operation of protection relays in power off conditions. Life expectancy
of the batteries varies by manufacturer, but the service life should be 18-20 years depending on usage and the area the batteries are stored in is fully
climate controlled. If the area is not climate controlled, then the life expectancy is estimated to be 8-10 years. To replace the batteries with current
designs there may be a need to purchase new associated equipment such as racks to hold the new batteries. Most of our substations could be
considered partially climate controlled so we would follow a 15-year replacement schedule except for Mid-City which will be 10 years due to the
poor construction of the building. Additionally, the inspection and serviceability of the batteries is governed by NERC and could possibly result in
fines should the maintenance program be deemed insufficient.

Justification
This project will replace the original direct buried primary cable and replace it with new cable installed by boring. The underground wiring and
equipment have been in place since the mid 1980s. Utilizing boring, the new cable will be placed in conduit and better protected from the elements
and unintentional damage. The original cable also has an external neutral wrapped around the cable while the new cable has the neutral internal to

Total Project Cost: $750,000
Description
This project will provide the city with a full electric system study to include, transmission and distribution load flow, examination of power factor
and capacitors, smart grid technology feasibility, impacts of electric vehicles and renewables on the grid and provide a 5-year capital improvement
plan with justifications. A Request for Quotation (RFQ) was released by city staff and there were three respondents that returned quotes that
averaged the amount requested.
Justification
The electric system is an ever-changing entity. Every time a new service is added to the grid the dynamics of operation and protection scheming
changes. Advances in new technology also allow for more efficient and reliable operation of the grid. Unfortunately. This task is a very large and
time-consuming process, and the city cannot support it without assistance from a more robust team. Once complete, the department will have a 5-
year capital improvement plan that will be tailored to the city’s needs and projected growth.

Project Name McKee Switch Yard Reconfiguration Category Electric
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $110,000
Description
This project will eliminate the current switch yard at McKee Run to account for the demolition of the plant. It will consist of engineering work,
construction of a new pole line, and relocation of the 69kV tie point to the College Road substation. The current building containing the battery
backup system will be demolished once the new relay building is built and commissioned. The additional $110,000 will be to complete the job in
2025 if needed.
Justification
In conjunction with the decommissioning of the McKee Run Power Plant, accommodations need to be made concerning the switchyard. The
current configuration of the yard allows electric personnel to tie multiple 69 kV lines together that allows for energizing of the entire 69 kV loop
across the city. This ability to tie the two 69 kV loops together reduces the impacts of outages reaching the customers and allows for isolating of
parts of the system to do maintenance.

Justification
This project will replace the original overhead metering with new pad-mount metering. Overhead metering components, CT’s, PT’s, wiring, and
primary cables are all exposed to weather and wildlife. Osprey’s build nests on these devices and cause customer outages by blowing fuses and
damaging the equipment. The sun exposure over the years has caused the metering wiring to crack and short out. The pad mount version, as all
new installations are equipped with, protects all the equipment and wiring from these issues.

Total Project Cost: $250,000
Description
This project will be utilized to perform preventative maintenance on the 69 kV lines that provide voltage to the distribution substations across the
city. In the past this money has been spent on replacement of the porcelain insulators to install safer polymer insulators. This could also be used to
replace stand offs, poles, switches and other equipment related to the transmission system.
Justification
Insulators have a defined equipment life due to sun and weather conditions breaking down the porcelain and base bonding cement. Insulators
installed in 1960's and 1970's are due for replacement because of this deterioration. We have experienced several transmission outages due to
insulator failure. Replacing the insulators should extend the life an additional 30 years.

Project Name Substation Component Replacement Category Electric
Priority 10 --
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $150,000
Description
This project is part of a wider ranging Substation Assessment Program. The goal of the Substation Assessment Program is to identify discrepancies
in the substations and proactively manage aging component replacements. This is done by performing monthly inspections and operational checks
of the switches, relays, transformers and wiring of each substation in the City of Dover system. This also will encompass replacing outdated
communication equipment and installing Real Time Automation Controllers (RTACs) that will allow faster reporting of faults in the system as well
as provide more detailed engineering data. There is currently 5 of the 15 stations with RTACs installed and 4 of 15 with GPS Clocks installed. We
currently have 5 RTACs on hand and the cost of a new one is $3,000. There are no GPS clocks on hand and they cost $1,300 per unit.
Justification
These funds will be used to make upgrades to the communications components used in the substations. It will also allow the replacement of
components that unexpectedly failed without depleting the O&M budgets. As an example, one SEL relay can cost between $3,000-$6,000 per unit.

Description
This project will be utilized solely to provide funding for the replacement of electric equipment that is damaged in accidents or fails unexpectedly.
If over the course of the year there are no failures, the funds will not be utilized.
Justification
Currently, when a component is replaced, the funding comes from the O & M budget of T & D. Once the work is performed coordination with
Finance occurs to move funds in Munis from the O & M side to the Capital side to capitalize the equipment. This project will eliminate that and
allow the capitalization of the equipment directly from this account.

Status Active
Total Project Cost: $9,000,000
Description
This project purchases material and equipment that are used to provide electric service to ne housing developments, businesses and industrial
developments across the service area. Additionally, a portion of this expense is offset by extension fees whereby developers pay a $1,875 per
residential lot connection fee inside City limits and a per lot fee of $1,500 per lot outside City limits but in the service area. For business and
industrial developers, a fee is charged based on total material expense for the extension.
This is an ongoing project and affects three separate accounts:
411-42-82-99-000-56031
411-42-82-99-000-56034
411-42-82-99-000-56046
Not all new developments projects supported by this fund are know during budget preparation and will arise during the year.
Justification
During each budget year, new developers request line extensions for new electric projects. Some are new projects while others may have to receive
plan approval previously but were not completed for any number of reasons.

Fiscal Year 2025 Central Services Departmental Goals
The City of Dover Central Services Department consists of Fleet, Facilities, and Warehousing and
Procurement divisions. Since this department has been established, the focus has been reevaluating
resources, operational organization and processes, and overall accountability.
In FY2024, Fleet has continued to focus on training and operational efficiency. During this time, we have
continued to utilize the Fleet Services Coordinator to orchestrate and monitor the efficiency and quality
of work performed. This has continued to reduce the number of comebacks and repeat repairs.
Technicians have received training in Modern AC Diagnosis and Repair. This training covered a wide
array of updated information as it pertains to newer freon systems which will contribute to our
technician’s ongoing success. The Fleet division will continue to enhance their education each year
moving forward in efforts to provide quality, and the highest level of readiness possible for its
customers. The Division’s goals for FY2025 are as follows:
• Continue to utilize budgeted training to ensure technicians are providing quality repairs to
minimize vehicle/equipment downtime.
• Continue to track vehicle/equipment repair and maintenance cost more efficiently to help
provide an overall cost of ownership.
• Continue reducing comebacks and repeat repairs.
The Facilities Division has focused on various building CIP projects that were budgeted within the
FY2024 budget in efforts to improve City buildings. The Facilities division has assisted various
contractors renovate City buildings over the last five years to preserve the City’s appearance. The
Division’s goals for FY2025 will continue to be as follows:
• Review current building deficiency reports and create comprehensive plans for repairs as well as
updating outdated systems.
• Maintain a preventative maintenance schedule for all City buildings to minimize costly repairs in
the future.
• Maintain records for maintenance, repairs, and CIP projects to provide more accurate budgeting
for future years.
Procurement and Warehousing has continued to see increased lead times for inventory items as well as
vehicle replacements throughout FY2024. As a result, we have had to reach out to multiple vendors and
diversify the procurement process to ensure critical components can be obtained. For FY2025, the
Procurement and Warehousing divisions goals are as follows:
• Providing the highest level of customer service to its customers.
• Continue to look for new channels to procure inventory.
• Enforcing the current Purchasing Policy to ensure the best practices are conducive to the City of
Dover’s needs.
All the outlined goals are in efforts to protect and preserve City of Dover assets and resources to ensure
that all funds allocated to such assets and resources are true investments. The Central Services
Department will continue to monitor and evaluate all aspects of operations for potential efficiency
improvements in efforts to foster the highest standards of accountability and customer service.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds include the group of funds classified as grant funds and a Realty
Transfer Tax Fund. The proceeds from specific revenue sources are restricted to
specified expenditure purposes. The City adopts budgets for selected Special Revenue
Funds. Combining and individual statements appear in this section.
MUNICIPAL STREET AID
The State of Delaware shares a portion of Delaware’s motor fuel tax revenue with local
municipalities through grants. The amount of the grant the City receives depends on
its population and miles of streets maintained.
ELECTRONIC RED-LIGHT SAFETY PROGRAM (ERLSP)
The State of Delaware Department of Transportation provides a grant to municipalities
that implement the Electronic Red- Light Safety Program. Under this program, the City
is granted a portion of the fines collected from drivers who are ticketed for running red
lights installed with electronic photo identification equipment within the City limits.
REALTY TRANSFER TAX
Delaware Code states that realty transfer tax realized by the City shall be segregated
from the general fund and the funds shall be expended solely for the capital and
operating costs of public safety services, economic development programs, public
works services, capital projects and improvements, infrastructure projects and
improvements and debt reduction.
STATE OF DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GRANTS
The State of Delaware Department of Transportation grants provide funds for specific
street projects in the City. State law provides funds to the State’s elected officials for
suburban street aid, which officials can then provide to their respective districts. The
City receives these funds for designated street projects and records all transactions for
this fund.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION GRANT
The State of Delaware General Assembly Grant-In-Aid Program provides funds to
implement an after-school program for at-risk and/or disadvantaged youths in the City
of Dover. The City runs this program out of the Parks & Recreation Department.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
(continued)
LIBRARY GRANTS
The City of Dover Public Library receives various grants and library tax receipts from
the State of Delaware, Kent County, and the Federal Government. Activities
associated with these grants are recorded in this fund.
CDBG HOUSING GRANTS & NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM
The City receives a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Entitlement
Grant for the Community Development Block Grant Program. This is to provide decent
housing, a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities primarily for
people of low and moderate incomes. Combined with the CDBG Fund is the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) that provides assistance in the
redevelopment of residential properties that have been abandoned and foreclosed upon
to stabilize residential communities.
POLICE GRANTS
The City of Dover Police Department receives various grants from the State of
Delaware for public and highway safety and the U.S. Department of Justice for local law
enforcement. All grant transactions are recorded in this fund.
LODGING TAX
In 2019 the Delaware General Assembly authorized Kent County and the City of Dover
to charge up to 3% of the cost of a room rental at a hotel, motel or other overnight
lodging business as provided in 30 Del C. §6101. On September 30, 2019, the Dover
City Council approved Ordinance #2019-16 adopting a phased-in lodging tax for the
City of Dover. On July 1, 2020, a tax of 0.5% was implemented. On July 1, 2021, the
rate will be 1.0% and a year later the lodging tax will be increased to 1.5% and remain
at that level unless changed by the City Council. City Council authorized increasing
the tax to 3% effective July 1, 2024.
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into
law. The package was intended to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, including the public
health and economic impacts. The city used this funding to invest in an array of drinking
water infrastructure projects, such as building or upgrading facilities and transmission
facilities, recreation infrastructure, assistance to non-profits addressing community
needs, and in support of economically impacted industries.
ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
This fund will provide for designation of certain proceeds from the sale of lots in Dover’s
Garrison Oak Business and Technology Park, and other funds such as from grants,
rents, shared revenues from joint initiatives, or other sources to be used to promote
economic and community development activities benefiting the city. It has not yet been
fully established.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
(continued)
BASIC LIFE SAFETY AMBULANCE SERVICE FUND
This fund provides for the collection of fees and management of the expense of a city-
wide ambulance service by contract with a service provider. The fee ensures the
availability of service to all residents within the Dover Fire District. The Fund anticipates
the potential that such a service may be provided directly by the city in the future.
FINANCIAL SCHEDULES PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND
The City has created this fund to account for the revenues and expenses related to a self-
insured Workers’ Compensation Fund. The revenues are received from the City's various
funds. These funds contribute to the Workers’ Compensation Fund an amount based on
salaries at a pre-determined assessment rate. Claims paid, reinsurance cost and third-
party administrator's fees are charged to this fund.
Budgetary schedule is included for public review of budgetary compliance.
