REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on July 27, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Slavin presiding. Council members present were Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Hosfelt, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Lewis were absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Bernat, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Townshend, Deputy Fire Chief Carey, Mr. Koenig, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 7:46 p.m.). OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Slavin declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Ms. Altoria Turnage, 1422 McKee Road, informed members that she is the property manager for several properties and they are having an issue with the requirement that their driveway be stone or paved. She felt that the requirement was only being applied to certain properties, noting that there are several Caucasian-owned rental properties on Slaughter Street that do not have stone or paved driveways. Mrs. Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that the zoning ordinance requires that permanent parking areas be a hard, paved, dust-free surface and the Code Enforcement Officers regularly write up people when they are parking on the grass, or when there is no grass because people have been parking and it has become compacted dirt. She noted that there are a number of places around the City where there is stone that was in place before the zoning regulations. In cases where there was concrete or where there is nothing, when a parking area needs to be added it needs to be concrete, asphalt or other type of paved surface. Ms. Turnage indicated that some other landlords in the area have not received documentation from the City indicating that they are required to have work done on their driveways while approximately eight (8) other rental properties on Slaughter Street have received notices. Acknowledging receipt of citations and fines for tall grass, Ms. Turnage advised that she took pictures of tall grass on other properties and asked why those properties were not being addressed. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the Code Enforcement Officers spend the bulk of the warm months, from April into October, writing up grass. She noted that new cases may take longer to cut because of the process they have to go through. Mrs. Townshend noted that the City spends approximately $18,000 a year cutting grass on private properties. She advised that the five (5) Code Enforcement Officers write up hundreds of tall grass cases each year, some of which are complaint driven. Ms. Turnage advised that they had received an email from Mrs. Townshend stating that the grass at 102 South Queen Street was getting tall but right next door the grass is 26 inches tall and has not been cut. Mrs. Townshend assured Ms. Turnage that it would be addressed, if it hadn’t been already. She stated that she sent Dr. Burden the email as a courtesy to avoid having to incur the costs.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 2 Mrs. Townshend stated that Dr. Burden has since advised her that he did not wish to receive courtesy emails in the future. The invocation was given by Mayor Christiansen, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 13, 2015 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of July 13, 2015 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. REMARKS BY LEVY COURT PRESIDENT P. BROOKS BANTA Levy Court President P. Brooks Banta stated that it was always an honor to be in City Council Chambers. He advised that the relationship between the County and the City had never been better and he, along with the six (6) other County Commissioners and the County Administrator, are very proud of that. Mr. Banta stated that it is great to work with people like Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, and Mayor Robin Christiansen, noting that he hopes the relationship between the City and County will continue to flourish under the current leadership. Council President Slavin stated that he attended a recent Levy Court meeting and in his remarks he wanted to say that the partnership runs wide and deep between the City and the County and the City appreciates their work, such as the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement for library services, the financial support the County provides to the City’s Fire Department, the partnership related to wastewater, and a whole series of other things. President Banta also noted the great services provided by the paramedics to all of Kent County utilizing taxpayer dollars. He noted that this service is often overlooked. Mr. Hutchison advised members that he and Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, had the opportunity to attend the Kent County Levy Court Committee meeting recently and he thanked President Banta for the invitation. Mr. Hutchison stated that it was a very impressive meeting. PRESENTATION BY LUTHERAN SENIOR SERVICES OF DOVER, INC. - PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES (PILOT) Lutheran Senior Services of Dover, Inc. is exempted from payment of City of Dover property taxes; however, in their desire to be good neighbors they have, since 1989, voluntarily contributed to the City a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT). Their initial payment in 1989 was $5,000 and it has consistently increased over the years, with this year's contribution being $27,227, for an approximate total contribution to date of $437,529.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 3 Mr. Gary Coy, Executive Director of Lutheran Senior Services, Inc., stated that this is was his 8th opportunity to be able to bring the PILOT to Dover. He noted that Lutheran Senior Services very much appreciates the relationship they have with the City and all the services that are provided. Mr. Coy advised that although they do not pay taxes, they do use City services such as fire protection, ambulance, police, and roadways and they are grateful for all the service that they get. Mayor Christiansen thanked Mr. Coy for the continued interest in the City of Dover, generous donations, and the great service Lutheran Senior Services provides by taking care of those who need a place to stay and looking after the senior citizens. RECOGNITION OF SERVICE - GERALD STREET - DOWNTOWN DOVER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - APRIL 1990 - AUGUST 2008 AND DOWNTOWN DOVER PARTNERSHIP - AUGUST 2008 - JUNE 2015 On behalf of members of Council, Mayor Christiansen presented Mr. Gerald Street with a Dover Cup in recognition of his service on the Downtown Dover Development Corporation (DDDC) from April 1990 through August 2008 and the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) from August 2008 through June 2015. Mayor Christiansen reminded members that 25 years ago Mayor Jack Richter had a vision of revitalizing downtown Dover and he selected a few people who he knew would carry the ball for him. He stated that he did not think Mayor Richter knew that Gary Patterson, Gerry Street and Joe McDaniel would continue to carry the ball on and on and on until, finally Mr. Street advised him that it was time to go. Mayor Christiansen stated that he was pleased to recognize Mr. Street for his service, not only to the City but to all the citizens and the vision that Mayor Richter and the people who have served on the DDP have had, noting that they will see the fruits of their labors in the future. On behalf of the DDP Board of Directors, Mr. Gregg Moore, President, thanked Mr. Street for great support and all he has done over the last 25 years for the Downtown Dover Partnership. Mr. Moore noted that Mr. Street had been instrumental in their projects, he had been unwavering, had given hundreds of hours of his time to the partnership, and had been a great ambassador of downtown. Mr. Moore also advised that Mr. Street had given the time and resources of his law firm as their attorney on the board. He recalled that one (1) of the greatest projects Mr. Street was instrumental in was the conversion of the capital scrap yard, investing over $1M of the Department of Natural Resources (DNRC) grant monies to procure the site and make it into a beautiful, vibrant building. Mr. Street stated that after 25 years a couple of things are abundantly clear -- there are thousands of volunteer hours but there are dozens upon dozens of people. He advised that he just happens to be one (1) volunteer out of many in the last 25 years. Mr. Street stated that they do not get $3M without the State and City working together and the Duncan Center does not occur without many players coming together, as well as the capital scrap project. He stated that he hopes the citizens of Dover understand that it is the paid and unpaid people in this room, and the ones that came before, going back to Mayor Richter and others, that the service they have given is what made the Downtown Dover Partnership successful.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 4 Mr. Street noted that he is not retiring from public duty but is, instead, giving more service to the two (2) nature boards that he serves on. Mr. Sudler, noting that Mr. Street was his baseball coach when he was younger, stated that he is a noble and respectable man who instilled in him life values and a winning spirit. Mr. Sudler congratulated Mr. Street and thanked him for his public service. Mr. Street responded that it was a pleasure to see Mr. Sudler doing well in life. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 110 RUSTIC LANE, OWNED BY TAILILOU, LLC A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 110 Rustic Lane, owned by Taililou, LLC. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the property was a one-story, wood framed, single-family home with an attached enclosed in-ground concrete pool. The house was registered as a vacant building on April 9, 2014 and condemned on February 19, 2015 as unfit for human occupancy due to no utilities and the deteriorated condition of the property. The owner was ordered to board the property in April of 2015. Currently the home is still vacant, with no active utilities and numerous outstanding code violations. Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the structure (Exhibit #1). Staff recommended that City Council take the following action for property located at 110 Rustic Lane: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by August 27, 2015 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. Mrs. Townshend noted that there have been a number of neighbor complaints about the property. Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. Mr. Tailap Luk of Taililou, LLC, stated that he has an ongoing consultation with Mrs. Townshend regarding this property. He noted that he showed her a very, very preliminary draft about two (2) years ago when they annexed two (2) lots into the City, which is also part of the grand annexation of the whole area. Mr. Luk advised that it is their intention to demolish the house; however, they have been delayed by the inability to obtain sewer service. He noted that he is actively speaking with the property owner in front of this property to determine some way to run sewer service to the property. Mr. Luk stated that another delay has been deciding whether to preserve the swimming pool or not. He noted that they have received two (2) proposals: one (1) to demolish the structure without touching the swimming pool and one (1) to demolish the structure and the swimming pool. He noted

Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 5 that he is waiting to hear back from the contractor on some questions he has regarding those proposals. Mr. Luk advised that he had scheduled a meeting with the City Planning Board for Friday to discuss how he should restart this project. He requested that the demolition be delayed for six (6) months in order to finalize his site plan and determine whether or not to preserve the swimming pool. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Luk stated that he wants to build a mixed-use structure to refresh the whole area; however, developing a concrete site plan is very difficult. He advised that once the site plan is complete, he will need to commit capital to it to develop the engineering, architectural, etc. Mr. Luk stated that he would like to have all of that in place in order to decide if they will need the swimming pool or not so that they will not have to start the process over again. Noting that Mr. Luk has owned the property for more than two (2) years, Mr. Neil stated that he would have hoped that they would have progressed further before tonight coming to a crisis. Clarifying that Mr. Luk intends to demolish the house and is trying to decide whether or not to preserve the swimming pool, Mr. Hosfelt asked if he was requesting additional time for all of the structures and the swimming pool. Mrs. Townshend noted that the swimming pool is an accessory structure. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Luk stated that the swimming pool is a significant component to the plan because it is for a mixed-use with residential and commercial. The commercial could involve a health center or a daycare center with a swimming pool. He noted that it is a pretty decent-sized swimming pool, so he would like to preserve it if the plan calls for it. Responding to Mr. Hare regarding the appearance of the property, Mr. Luk stated that they would mow the grass, clean up the trash, and trim the shrubs to make the property more presentable. Mr. Luk reiterated his request for more time, noting the he intends to demolish the house and possibly the swimming pool. He advised that the house is secure and not dangerous in any sense. There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Hare moved to: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property, excluding the swimming pool, repaired or demolished by August 27, 2015 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) grant the property owner a 90-day extension to decide whether to demolish or preserve the swimming pool; 4) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the dates established by City Council; and 5) order the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 6 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 13, 2015 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on July 13, 2015 with Chairman Anderson presiding. Review of Revised Active Recreation Area Plan - Eden Hill Farm Traditional Neighborhood Design - Residential District Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, stated that this application is associated with the Residential District Revised Implementation Plan for the Traditional Neighborhood Design project known as Eden Hill Farm and advised members that a representative of the ownership company was present and available to answer any questions. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the project began in 2006 and is now under new ownership, stating that the new owners have brought forth a revised implementation plan for how the property will be developed. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the Planning Commission approved 742 units which are a mix of single-family, duplex, townhouse, and multi-family units. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the original plan for the open space and active recreation area included a series of individual park areas scattered throughout the residential area. The proposed revision is to develop a large central open space area, just over nine (9) acres, while retaining a series of the smaller parks throughout the residential area. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that there is currently a total of approximately 83 housing units constructed in the neighborhood, noting that the Zoning Ordinance for the City of Dover prescribes how much active recreation space is required based on the number of units. She stated that this project would require 4.68 acres of open space and active recreation area; however, the proposed revisions well exceed that minimum requirement. Referring to the Overall Open Space Site Plan, Mrs. Melson-Williams pointed out the nine (9) acre central open space area. Mrs. Melson-Williams then referred to the Clubhouse Open Space Plan, which focuses on the central open space and the number of amenities being proposed. She advised members that this would include a clubhouse building, which has internal spaces such as a gym and meeting rooms; a swimming pool; parking area to serve the facility; tennis courts; a basketball court; a community garden; a playground; picnic area; and various amenities that go along with that, as well as benches and bicycle racks. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that Eden Hill Farm has a traditional neighborhood design for which there is an associated pattern book with the details of what would have to be included in the project. She indicated that, upon staff approval of the plan, staff provided the developer a series of recommendations to be included. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that staff is in support of the concept for a large open space area, noting that staff had provided a series of comments to either clarify items on the plan or improve the project. Mrs. Melson-Williams asked the

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 7 Committee to review the active recreation plan and provide any comments or guidance on the parks and recreation component of the proposal, stating that those comments would be forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration during their August meeting. Staff recommended approval of the revised active recreation plan for the Eden Hill Farm Traditional Neighborhood Design - Presidential District with the comments and conditions provided. Ms. Andrea Finerosky, Pettinaro Construction Company, stated that they were representing Eden Hill and were also the developer of Blue Hen Apartments. Ms. Finerosky advised members that the clubhouse proposed for Eden Hill is similar to the one at Blue Hen Apartments; however, the one at Blue Hen is only 2,200 sq. ft., whereas the clubhouse for Eden Hill will be 5,000 sq. ft. to accommodate the larger tenant base. In response to Mr. Caldwell, Ms. Finerosky stated that the open space will either be maintained by the developer or the homeowners association (HOA). Responding to Mr. Hosfelt, Ms. Finerosky stated that Pettinaro is overall in agreement with the recommendations made by staff, noting that Pettinaro needs further clarification on some points. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Ms. Finerosky stated that Pettinaro will manage the project and the management team will be similar to the team at the Blue Hen Apartments. Mr. Hutchison stated he was very pleased with the management at Blue Hen Apartments and that they do a great job. Responding to Mrs. Horsey, Ms. Finerosky stated many of staff’s comments are just general suggestions and reminders of what needs to be done to be in compliance; however, there are one (1) or two (2) things that they had not yet determined if they are in agreement with, noting that this will be worked out and they are largely in support of the comments. In response to Mrs. Horsey, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Committee would be advised if there are any concerns; however, she reminded members that the role of the members is to provide a recommendation that will go to the Planning Commission for a final plan to be presented to Council. Responding to Mrs. Horsey, Ms. Finerosky stated that the larger acreage for the open space was designed to accommodate the additional units. She stated that they believe a larger area would serve the community better than several smaller pocket parks, noting that the plan includes those as well.

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 8 In response to Mrs. Horsey, Ms. Finerosky stated that the layout and design of the office area attached to the clubhouse matches the apartments. She noted that it is not residential and would be used as a leasing office. Ms. Finerosky noted that part of the space may also serve as a model. The Committee recommended approval of the revised Active Recreation Area Plan for Eden Hill Farm Traditional Neighborhood Design - Residential District, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Quarterly Update Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had approved the 2015 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Five (5) Year Consolidated Plan and staff would be moving forward with entering into agreements with sub-recipients. Mrs. Townshend stated that focus has been on the Restoring Central Dover Initiative and working to leverage CDBG funding sources to promote home ownership in the downtown area. In regard to the Mayor’s Challenge to End Veterans’ Homelessness, Mrs. Townshend advised members that, although the report indicated that 24 veterans had been housed by June 12, 2015, three (3) additional veterans had found housing; therefore, this was a successful effort. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that unrecovered funds would not roll over but would stay with the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research (NCALL). In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that all six (6) homebuyers have been approved. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that there have not been any home repair projects this year. She indicated that some funding had carried over from the previous year; however, it had been expended, noting that this was handled through the Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC). Draft Recreation Needs Assessment/Strategic Planning and Goal Setting (Restoring Central Dover Strategic Plan) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the City of Dover 2015 Recreation Needs Assessment report. Mrs. Townshend pointed out that the maps that they were able to obtain from the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) were useful in helping to identify some of the under-served areas. Referring to the map on Page

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 9 7 of the report, Mrs. Townshend explained that the colored areas indicate neighborhoods that are not within 15 minutes walking distance to a public recreation facility. She noted; however, that the map does not take into account that a lot of communities have open space which may contain a playground or some other type of recreation. Mrs. Townshend identified the City’s anchor parks (Schutte Park, Dover Park, and Silver Lake Park) and the walk zones around those parks. She stated that one (1) of the criticisms that initiated the assessment was that the bulk of the investment in recreational facilities has been in an area that has the least amount of population served in terms of walking distance. Mrs. Townshend noted that one (1) of the providers that the City does not have a very strong working relationship with is Kent County Parks and Recreation, and this was identified as a priority to improve; however, the City has a very strong relationship with the Capital School District and the YMCA. Mrs. Townshend stated that the YMCA brings kids to Camp Small Wonder, which the City runs through a grant at Delaware State University, and the City does a lot of joint programming with the Capital School District to support their athletics and get people involved who are interested in the City’s Parks and Recreation programs. Mrs. Townshend stated that the report included information about how the services the City provides are paid for, noting that 21% of the Parks and Recreation Department’s budget is supported by fees. When including the Public Works Grounds Division, who maintains the parks and flower beds, this percentage drops to 8%. Mrs. Townshend advised that one (1) of the recommendations in the comments section of the survey was to seek sponsorships, noting success in this area in regard to the Concerts on the Green. She stated that this area could be expanded upon if other corporate sponsorships are available. Mrs. Townshend stated that an important component of the assessment was the percentage of feedback that came from City residents versus non-City residents. She advised members that 28% of the people who responded did not live in the City, 20% declined to answer, and more than half of the responses were from individuals who live in the City. Mrs. Townshend shared that there was a lot of support for funding the City’s programs largely by fees, and grants and General Fund dollars were also suggested. Mrs. Townshend advised that data from the State of Delaware’s state-wide survey was also used, and 267 people who responded to that survey lived in the City of Dover. She noted that the State’s survey was a phone survey, whereas the City had an online survey. Although it helped to gauge what the citizens wanted, it did not indicate a strong preference for any particular amenity, noting that the highest response for any particular amenity was 17%, and the amenity with the biggest response was restrooms at Silver Lake and Dover Parks. Mrs. Townshend stated that portable bathrooms are currently at those locations; however, if a patron does not utilize the facilities after a recent cleaning, they could likely have a bad experience.

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 10 Mrs. Townshend indicated that other items of interest were paved trails, fitness stations, and lawn trails, which was consistent with the State survey, and there was strong support for walking and biking trails. She indicated that this was good because the State has made some significant investments in those areas. Mrs. Townshend noted that the biggest reason people go to Dover Park is to walk or jog; however, Dover Park does not have a path and she advised members that is something that could be put into the capital plan using both City and State funds. Referring to Page 12 of the report, Implementation Strategies, Mrs. Townshend stated that the first implementation strategy was to develop a master plan for each of the three (2) anchor parks, starting with Dover Park. She advised that the Request For Proposal (RFP) for Dover Park will address indoor restrooms, a paved loop trail system, potentially fitness stations along the trail, a skate park, a splash pad, and bicycle racks. Mrs. Townshend noted that everything will not happen at once; however, the master plan will identify where each item will go and how it will be implemented. She advised that this process has already begun at Schutte Park with a land survey. She indicated that there are about 14 undeveloped acres there that need to be utilized and parking is something that needs to be considered as well. Mrs. Townshend explained that the City will be using in-house engineering staff to review the results of the land survey to begin laying out a plan for the undeveloped acres at Schutte Park. She noted that Silver Lake will likely be the last park to be addressed because the survey indicated that amenities desired at that location included an indoor restroom and a splash pad; however, infrastructure is not in place to provide those amenities at this time and the park is heavily utilized without them. Mrs. Townshend advised members that another amenity that surfaced as a result of the survey was a request for a pickleball court and a dog park, and those requests will be considered. She reiterated the importance of continuing to improve and monitor the neighborhood parks and playgrounds as well. Mrs. Townshend stated that one (1) of the biggest challenges is that there is not a stable funding stream for the Parkland Reserve Fund, which funds improvements to the parks. She stated that she is working on expanding and improving partnerships to help fund those improvements and find other ways to increase the Parkland Reserve. Mrs. Townshend explained that one (1) of the resources used to increase this fund is a cash-in-lieu contribution from residential developments that do not provide recreation. She indicated that when a developer puts in amenities, they often do not know the needs of the potential residents, which can lead to amenities that are not used and become dilapidated. Citing some examples, Mrs. Townshend mentioned the basketball court at Village of Westover, which has stood without backboards, hoops, and nets, etc., and the playground equipment at Maple Glen, which houses mostly retirees. The few families that do have young children in Maple Glen have play sets in their back yards. She indicated that these types of amenities often become a burden to the homeowners associations and code enforcement.

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 11 Mrs. Townshend advised that one (1) recommendation was to amend the zoning ordinance to eliminate the requirement to provide active recreation areas and instead impose a surcharge on building permits to generate revenue toward the Parkland Reserve, along with putting in other mechanisms, such as sponsorships. Mrs. Townshend advised members that 67% of the responses to the survey included a request to have City residents pay a lower fee than non-City residents. Responding to Mr. Hosfelt regarding the City of Dover’s relationship with Kent County Parks and Recreation, Mrs. Townshend stated there is a spirit of friendly competition; however, she spoke to Mr. Jeremy Sheppard, Director of Parks and Recreation for Kent County, about shifting gears and working more toward collaboration, noting that Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, and Mr. Mike Petit DeMange, Kent County Administrator, had also had discussions in an effort to work collaboratively. In response to Mr. Hosfelt, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that City recreation fees are currently the same for residents and non-residents. Mr. Hutchison expressed the importance of the City Manager, Finance Director, and City staff putting together a master plan forecasting three (3) to 25 years ahead to determine how the City will continue to support financing the recreational needs of the City. He pointed out that the needs of the City are going to continue to grow in all areas, including infrastructure, and stressed the importance of developing a plan to financially support those needs, noting the recent tax increase that was necessary to maintain the needs of the City and its residents. Mrs. Townshend stated that various parks and amenities require different levels of maintenance, staff time, cost, and enforcement, noting that adding indoor restrooms and splash pads requires water and sewer usage, as well as more time and money to maintain, versus a path system which requires less maintenance. Mr. Anderson stated that it was important to find out what the people want and need. Referring to the Implementation Strategies for Dover Park on Page 12 of the report, Mr. Anderson noted the park’s playground, driving trails, softball field, tennis court, and basketball court, and stated that the request of the community was to have a walking trail and fitness station. Responding, Mrs. Townshend advised that those requests would not be difficult to achieve; however, some things that need to be considered include vegetation and lighting, which are areas of concern for the safety needs of park users. Mrs. Townshend pointed out that, although the parks are technically closed at dusk, the reality is that people still go into the parks and lighting and other safety measures need to be considered.

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 12 Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the status of the plans for Dover Park, Mrs. Townshend advised that vendors have been contacted to obtain information on portable bathrooms, reminding members that Dover Park still has plumbing to support indoor bathrooms, but Silver Lake does not and it is the most popular park. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the survey indicated a splash pad was one (1) of the amenities desired but was not very high on the list for any of the parks. Mrs. Townshend advised that the survey measures how many people request an amenity but not how strongly or how high of a priority it is, which is hard to measure. She stated that when people make specific comments, such as those related to the skate pad, dog park, and splash pad, that gives a stronger indication of what they want versus just answering yes or no on a survey. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that a lot of interest was expressed for indoor bathrooms; however, she noted they require maintenance and it would be important for them to be locked at night for security reasons. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend advised that she had not heard any feedback concerning a rugby field or football field at Schutte Park. She had heard feedback for a turf field at Schutte Park; however, that is very expensive and would be difficult to lay out with the parking. She stated that the challenge with a football field is the wear and tear it puts on specific areas of the field, and public input from the various park users helps to determine the layout of the park and what activities are of interest. Mrs. Townshend noted that currently the Delaware Union and the Delaware Diamonds girls lacrosse groups use the fields at Schutte Park, stating that it would be useful to get some feedback from them. She indicated that she has heard that the boys lacrosse team that currently uses the field at Brecknock Park may be interested in using the fields if some improvements are made. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding feedback on current programs, Mrs. Townshend stated that one of the complaints she has heard is that people do not seem to know about the programs currently being offered. She said she was trying to find ways to make the public more aware of the programs through email, facebook, and other methods. Referring to page 2 of the City of Dover Recreation Needs Assessment, Mr. Anderson felt this was a good summary of what the City is trying to offer. He stated that it reflects the City’s Comprehensive Plan which calls for city-wide parks, open space plans, and individual parks. Mr. Anderson suggested that the Committee review the Recreation Needs Assessment and provide positive suggestions to continue to improve the recreation plan and determine what is needed and what funding mechanisms will be necessary.

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 13 He stated that the City of Dover was a prosperous and healthy city where families can enjoy the amenities of the city with a good quality of life and access to recreation and arts for people of all ages; however, it is important to continue to improve and look at other areas of community development and make sure housing is revitalized. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that the capital budget for the Parks and Recreation Department had $180,000 remaining for Dover Park and $66,000 for Mallard Pond. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that she believed there was about $300,000 remaining in the Parkland Reserve Fund. Regarding splash pads, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that, while the splash pads themselves are not expensive, pipes and infrastructure can become very expensive very quickly. Responding to Mr. Anderson concerning cost examples and proposed plans for next year’s budget, Mrs. Townshend explained that the idea, once the Recreation Needs Assessment was complete, was to reevaluate the capital plan and base it off the Needs Assessment and master plans to develop the park. Mrs. Townshend stated that the master plan for Schutte Park needed to be completed and that a master plan for Dover Park would likely use some funds from the capital fund. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that she did not have information on the cost of portable restrooms at the moment but would be happy to provide the information after the meeting. Ms. Theresa Morris, 1378 Old White Oak Road, stated that she helps with the Youth Advisory Committee and would like to see a lot more activities for teenagers. Ms. Morris referred to the recent shootings and drug activity, stating she felt it important to create activities geared toward the teenage group to keep them busy and out of trouble. Ms. Morris stated that there seemed to be a lot of activities for younger kids; however, it appears there is a lack of activities and organizations available for the teenaged group. She stated that she has heard feedback expressing interest in a skate park, noting that Smyrna has one. As the capital of the First State, she would like to see as much offered for the youth in Dover. Ms. Morris noted that Mr. Anderson had discussed bringing back First Night for New Year’s and that she would love to see that return. She suggested block parties allowing the kids to participate, show their talents, and keep them involved and off of the streets. Ms. Morris expressed her appreciation to Mr. Anderson for reviving the Youth Advisory Committee, stating that she anticipates a lot of good things for the youth of the community.

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 14 In regard to Strategic Planning and Goal Setting, Mr. Anderson, referred members to the Executive Summary of the Restoring Central Dover report, “Our Vision for Vitality.” He advised members that the reason for the strategic plan, as stated by Mr. Hutchison, was to focus on three (3) things when considering future budgets: 1) why something is being done, 2) how it can be accomplished, and 3) what is being offered. Mr. Anderson reiterated the importance of determining these things to ensure that what is being offered is what is needed and will be used by the people. He explained that the report was completed using focus groups, surveys, and town meetings to find out in a comprehensive way what people want. He stated that this was a great starting point for central Dover and essential to its revival. Mr. Anderson stated that the plan had been very useful as a blueprint to the City Planning and Community Development offices. He stated that the plan focuses on recreation, economic inclusion, safety, and restoring and revitalizing neighborhoods. Mr. Anderson called for an “at ease” to give members an opportunity to review the Restoring Central Dover Strategic report. Mr. Anderson suggested further future discussion on the Recreation Needs Assessment, State survey, and Restoring Central Dover report. The Committee recommended continued discussion of the Recreation Needs Assessment and Restoring Central Dover Strategic Plan at the next Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Discussion - Community Partnerships Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Parks and Recreation Department plans to meet with Pastor Will Grimes to collaborate on recreation programming at the new community outreach center for the Solid Rock Baptist Church, hoping to make that a hub of activity in the downtown area for youth and people of all ages. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend advised that she has only heard general discussion regarding revitalizing the Police Athletic League. She stated that there had not been many discussions regarding the Inner City Cultural League; however, she noted that once they are settled into their new location it was her hope to discuss opportunities to work on programming there as well. Mrs. Townshend explained that the Parks and Recreation Department does not get very involved in the area of the arts; however, Ms. Margery Cyr, Director of the Dover Public Library, was working on some collaborations related to theater.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 15 In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend explained that the Boys and Girls Club is currently focused on getting their new facility established and had been working very closely with the County on getting that up and running. She stated that, while there have not been a lot of discussions with the Boys and Girls Club in terms of working together, once they are established and their facility is open, it was her hope to resume discussions on working together on various programming. Mrs. Townshend stated that staff had been working closely with the YMCA and Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Kent County Planning Services. Mrs. Townshend advised members that she also sits on an informal working group to discuss plans for the former Kent Swim Club in Dover and how it could best serve the community as a whole. She anticipates a positive outcome from those discussions. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 13, 2015 The Utility Committee met on July 13, 2015 with Chairman Hutchison presiding. North American Energy Services (NAES) Amended and Restated Operating Agreement Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, introduced the City’s Power Supply Attorney, Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt, LLP, who worked on the renegotiation of the North American Energy Services (NAES) agreement. Mr. Betts reviewed his memorandum dated July 13, 2015 regarding Proposed Agreement for Plant Operating Services. He advised that in 1996, the City entered into a contract with Duke Energy and its subsidiaries to operate the power plant on the City’s behalf. He stated that the Duke contract was unique because Duke assumed all of the responsibility for everything, including fuels, and sold energy to the City. Mr. Betts stated that in 2006, Duke was no longer interested in that type of service and the City had to change the contract style. Mr. Betts explained that the 2006 contact bifurcated the services. Dispatch, design, fuel purchasing, etc. were completed by PACE Global, while NAES operated the plant, integrated, and interfaced every day to determine what the dispatch should be. He stated that all of the plant employees, including former City employees who went to Duke and those that stayed with NAES, remained at the plant; however, over time NAES managed the level of employees in order to operate the plant. Mr. Betts informed members that, under the NAES contract, NAES provides an annual budget for the operation of the plant, which City staff negotiates prior to budgeting any staffing or operating costs. He stated that fuel costs and services are managed by The Energy Authority (TEA), and TEA operates as a dispatching advisor

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 16 to the plant. Mr. Betts explained that the current contract was a four (4) year contract which the City let renew annually under an evergreen provision. In order for the contract to be terminated, 18 months notice had to be given. He advised that one (1) of the reasons that the City had a shorter contract was because it had an escalation provision in it that went up according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) standard for professional employees in this region. Mr. Betts stated that, on average, the cost had escalated approximately 21%, since 2006. He noted that the belief had been that the City would probably renew, renegotiate, or rebid that contract prior to this time. Mr. Betts explained that, after evaluating the quality of the services and the market for companies that do this type of work, and given the age and the institutional knowledge that NAES has on operating the plant, he and staff agreed that there is an inherent value in trying to sole source negotiate the contract. He stated that he, Mr. Harry Maloney, Electric Director, who is an experienced power plant supervisor, and NAES worked together to develop a slightly different contract that operates at a lower cost and has some new orientation on how the City wants the project to be operated. Mr. Betts informed members that the proposed agreement would be for five (5) years (2015 - 2020). He explained that he, the City Manager, and the Controller/Treasurer agreed that five (5) years would be a good transitional period for the City because it is toward the end of the age of this plant and also a period of great transition for PJM. Mr. Betts stated that this proposal would allow the City to capture and hold onto the institutional knowledge that exists, and provide some opportunity for managing the longer term International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) labor contract. He noted that the IBEW contract had been extended for one (1) year; however, staff had been advised that the IBEW contract would now be finalized for a longer duration. Mr. Betts explained that the proposed agreement provides for a fixed annual fee for management, and the amount of this fee would decrease from the current fee. He stated that this fee would include the management fee, home office support, which previously averaged at approximately $75,000 per year, and operating incentives, employee bonuses, and burdens. Mr. Betts informed members that, in the past, there was an incentive fee provision which provided an annual bonus of several hundred thousand dollars if the plant achieved specific operational parameters. He explained that the proposed contract includes a maximum performance reduction, which would allow for a contract price reduction between $500,000 and $550,000 per year if they fail to meet certain standards, such as availability and dependable capacity. Mr. Betts stated that the City has to meet certain standards in order to get the full value out of the PJM Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) payments, and this provision aligns the mutual interests of both parties in the operations of the plant.

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 17 Mr. Betts reminded members that two and one-half years ago, the City decided to allow for the retirement of Units 1 and 2. He stated that these units are 50 year old, 17 MW steam units which are difficult to find parts for, and they are not as reliable as they need to be. Mr. Betts advised that the decision to retire these units would change the operations of the plant and, as a result, the City would realize a several hundred thousand dollar reduction in operating costs in the proposed contract. Mr. Betts informed members that, between the changes in the way the management fee is structured, the way the incentive fee and performance penalty pieces are constructed, and with the change in how the plant will operate, he anticipates that the City will realize an annual cost reduction in excess of $300,000 within a year and a half and will not reach the current contract price of $6M per year within the next five (5) years. He explained that, overall, the objectives were to save the institutional knowledge, preserve the operation of the plant, and reincentivize the plant in order to earn money as opposed to keep costs down. Goals would be to operate more efficiently, dispatch more frequently, reduce the number of outage days, change the scheduled outage, and raise performance so the plant is not offline for as long as it has been in the past, and ultimately earn more money for the City by having this unit online. Mr. Betts stated that the proposed contract would provide the City with a reduction in cost and provide the performance that the City needs to maintain a competitive posture in the marketplace. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Betts stated that Units 1 and 2 would be retired on May 31, 2017. Mr. Anderson stated that he had concerns regarding the contract, whether or not it should have been put out for bid, the amount that the City is spending, and whether or not the City is getting the most for its money. He questioned what the City’s five (5) year plan was and whether the City should lock in a manager prior to deciding what to do with the City’s plants. Mr. Anderson stated that he liked the inclusion of the six (6) month provision. Mr. Anderson requested further explanation of the negotiated cost savings. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that the biggest savings would be realized in the management fee costs and staff savings. He reiterated that the fixed management fee, the amount held for performance, and bonuses that are part of their compensation package would be lower. Additionally, he explained that there was an expectation that there will be a change in how the plant is managed staff-wise, which would add several hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits. Mr. Betts noted that some of the City’s risk associated with using back office personnel would also be mitigated by fixing that as part of the base contract. He explained that the City would receive all of the services that are now prescribed, without the risk of having hourly rates based upon how the City uses those services. Mr. Betts reminded members that the proposed contract also included a maximum performance reduction. For example, he explained that if the City is penalized through PJM for too many forced outages,

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 18 NAES would be penalized as well. Mr. Betts stated that this provision would help compensate the City in the event that NAES fails to perform on those important criteria for availability, dependability, unit capacity dependability, etc. Mr. Betts stated that Mr. Anderson’s concerns regarding whether or not this agreement should have gone out to bid were important. He explained that it would be difficult to find people in the marketplace who have the skill sets to deal with a 40 to 50-year-old plant. Additionally, the people who run a unit develop a sensitivity about the equipment, they know how an engine is supposed to work, when the steam is supposed to be going through, and what it sounds like before you synchronize, and Mr. Betts and staff believed that these skills could help negotiate the price down, because they have mitigated some of the risk of not knowing how this plant functioned. Mr. Betts explained that a new supplier may not want to guarantee the plant’s availability because of the unknown factors; therefore, it was his recommendation to try to negotiate a fairer price to operate the plant with the same entity, based on the City’s criteria, rather than going out to the marketplace and bringing in an entity that would add to the risk premium for operating a plant like the City’s. He believed it was wiser to stay with the same entity and the people who know how to operate the plant rather than taking that risk at this point in the plant’s history. Mr. Hare asked if NAES could provide an estimate of the maintenance costs for the next three (3) or four (4) years. In response, Mr. Betts stated that NAES knows how the City’s plant functions, noting that they have approximately six (6) steam plants of similar vintage within their system and they have monthly manager meetings to discuss equipment. He explained that there are two (2) types of maintenance, major maintenance and annual scheduled maintenance, and the annual scheduled maintenance is estimated for five (5) years. Mr. Betts expressed his opinion that, with the experience of TEA and Mr. Maloney, there would be more than just an annual projection of plant costs and types of maintenance. Mr. Betts reminded members that one (1) of the reasons the City decided to proceed with closing the two (2) oldest units, aside from their inefficiency, was the high cost of performing the next level of maintenance. He stated that the approximate cost was $500,000 and would have included opening up the units, working on the turbines, and attempting to provide some life extension. Mr. Betts stated that by looking at the five (5) year projection, the City can determine what expenses are appropriate, given where it is in its life cycle. He expressed his opinion that NAES has very sophisticated people and Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, has done a great job of assuring that the City receives a budget with accurate estimates. Mr. Betts informed members that a major part of the discussions regarding the proposed contract focused on ensuring that the City receives accurate estimates for the budget to ensure staff does not have to request additional funds from Council and because it affects the customer’s rates.

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 19 Mr. Hare asked whether the City could provide a six (6) month notice and get these credits cheaper elsewhere if PJM were to stop giving the City capacity credits. Responding, Mr. Betts explained that there are a lot of strategies that the City would want to review prior to making that decision. He advised that some municipal clients were looking at going behind the meter, explaining that the City can take that capacity inside and plan against peaks to achieve similar results, so that the City is not getting hit with the PJM charges. Mr. Betts stated that, with the proposed contract, the City would have an option to terminate the agreement; however, the City would want to thoroughly study and line up alternatives prior to providing a six (6) month notice. Mayor Christiansen stated his appreciation for the work Mr. Betts had done and asked what he projected may happen over the next five (5) years, particularly with the PJM grid requirements. Noting that this is one (1) of the City’s major sources of revenue, Mayor Christiansen also questioned if the City should be looking at the possibility of moving out of the utility business or looking for another deal to keep the City as a competitive player in the business. In response to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Betts stated that Mr. Maloney has been proactive in looking to the future and trying to determine different alternatives. He stated that technological advancements are changing the market. Mr. Betts thought that some of the questions members should ask are what the future would look like in terms of how the City will use and produce energy and how its customers will use it. He explained that the City needs to understand how customers will use energy in the future to ensure that whatever the City does matches the market and to ensure that the City does not end up overbuilding and overcharging for services based on year 2000 ideas that the City is trying to implement in 2020. Mr. Betts informed members that he had recently read an article about a municipal utility in the Midwest that is building a 40MW battery station instead of a power plant. He explained that it takes in energy during the day, feeds it out at the night, and deals with solar and wind factors. Mr. Betts noted that this balances the frequency problems that PJM and all the utilities are having today because of the variety of sources coming in. Mr. Betts stated that Mr. Maloney has proposed reviewing everything comprehensively to determine what would make sense for the future. He stated that this would include a review of fixing McKee as a power plant, generation options, where to get the best deal on a unit, consideration of recent gas issues on the peninsula, PJM requirements for two (2) forms of fuel, solar which is being incentivized, renewable portfolio standards, etc. Mr. Betts noted that this was an exciting time to be on the Utility Committee because there is so much going on, with many variables and ways to look at how to solve customer needs. Mr. Betts stated that there is a difference in thinking today from 20 or 30 years ago. He reminded members that Kraft wanted to build a coal-fired plant 20 or 30 years ago and 10 years later it was not a good idea; however, they kept it going and

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 20 ultimately sold it to a third-party to operate. Comparatively, he stated that P&G is currently considering building two (2) MW solar on some of their properties. Mr. Betts stated that some of these decisions are driven by tax credits or the desire to have a green energy facility. He explained that, in contrast, the City is trying to figure out how to balance those interests and still provide the revenue that supports the City. Mr. Betts advised that he would not encourage the City to get out of the business, if for no other reason than that the City owns the distribution rights and can control all the electricity that goes out to the customers. He stated that, even if the City got out of generation, it would still have a resource for revenue through the distribution system. Mr. Betts expressed his opinion that the City has resources in place, a great 69kV loop, a good distribution system, and is in a really good spot, as an entity, to be in the utility business. Mr. Betts stated that he was very encouraged and excited by all of the changes in the industry, noting that there are new ideas every day that are changing the way people use energy and the way energy can be produced and delivered more efficiently. It was his opinion that the City is almost in a perfect spot by having a facility that can be given up to switch to something that would allow the City to leap ahead from where it would otherwise have been (5) years ago. Mr. Neil questioned how long the bid process would take and what effect it would have on the City if the proposed contract were not accepted and the City put this out to bid. Responding, Mr. Betts estimated that it would take a minimum of six (6) to eight (8) months. He reminded members that the City would remain under the old contract, which has an 18-month notice period; therefore, the City would probably want to give notice right away and take the risk of completing that process in time. Mr. Betts stated that he did not have the same confidence that he had 10 years ago when he suggested that there were a lot of people out in the marketplace that are providing these types of services and are willing to take the type of risks that the City would ask them to assume. He noted that he is an advocate of RFPs; however, the current market is narrow, which creates a greater risk. Mr. Betts reiterated that it was his recommendation to try to negotiate a sole-source deal, due to where the City is with the cycle of this plant and the knowledge of the type of plant it is. Mr. Hutchison reminded members that the City had been working on this for a while and the playing field will be changing in 2017. He stated his support for Mr. Betts’ recommendation and the proposed contract. Although he recognized members’ concerns, Mr. Hutchison expressed his opinion that dealing with a known partner was critical. Mr. Betts advised that one (1) of the challenges that the City has faced since transitioning out of operating the plant relates to employees. He explained that, in the past, the City has negotiated a responsible transition for those individuals to have the first opportunity for positions; however, he was not certain how that would work in today’s market. Mr. Betts stated that there is a value to those people and it is potentially disruptive to put this out to bid. He reminded members that over a year ago when the City discussed whether or not to continue in the utility business or sell

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 21 to Delaware Electric Cooperative, it had an effect on the morale of the people who work in the utility part of the City, which always affects how a system functions. Mr. Betts stated that settling this issue had provided real value to the City. He stated that the uncertainty of the bid process has a potential impact on the City’s capacity to operate as efficiently as it does now and also on what happens to those employees. Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that the City’s value is not in the plants but the network, noting that if the City has to shut the plants down, it will still be in the business of supply through the network. Mr. Betts stated that he had previously discussed the net benefit of the utility with Council. He advised members that half of the cost of the NAES contract is for labor and the management fee, while the other half is the traditional costs for operation and maintenance. He stated that there is an approximate cost of $6M with PJM; therefore the City makes approximately $3M by having the plant, whether or not it is working, and the City makes money because of the capacity value, as long as it functions. Mr. Betts explained that the City needs to ensure that the plant is ready to operate, because if the City has a forced outage at a really bad time, the City gets penalized. He reiterated that the proposed contract is meant to ensure that the plant is always ready to operate over the next five (5) years, with the inclusion of the maximum performance penalty. Mr. Betts stated that there are now weekly meetings between Mr. Maloney, as the owner’s representative, and the plant manager. He noted that there is not a separate entity operating with TEA telling them when to run, the City is in the middle of the process now to ensure the plant is ready, able, and capable of producing, so that the City gets the optimum value for the plant. Mr. Betts informed members that the City is also in a good position because the City is connected to a gas line and has oil. He stated that in the new capacity product that PJM is requiring, you have to have alternative fuel if you are on gas. Mr. Betts explained that the City has the potential to get the optimal value in PJM for the plant, at least until the City decides to shut it down, based on the differential between the operating costs and what the City can get in terms of capacity payments from PJM. Mr. Neil explained that he did not doubt that this was a good contract and that his question pertaining to an RFP was intended to ensure that the City had looked at the alternatives and this was the best alternative. He noted that if the City were going to do an RFP, it should have been done eight (8) months ago, not now. Mr. Neil expressed his support for the contract, noting that it is the alternative that serves the citizens well. The Committee recommended approval of the contract. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent).

Page 25

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 22 Annual Engineering Consultant's Report on the Operation and Maintenance (O & M) of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2014 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the conclusions of the Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report on the Operation and Maintenance (O & M) of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2014, prepared by Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. She reminded members that the Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report was required by the 1985 Bond Resolution for the electric utility. Mr. Blakeman noted that the Engineering Consultant had endorsed the fact that the electric system has been well run and well maintained. He advised that Page 1-3 of the Report stated that “specifically, the generation facilities have demonstrated a high level of availability despite the dispatching of the units primarily for peak demand.” Additionally, in regard to the transmission and distribution (T&D) system, the Report stated that “In recent years, the City has made appropriate upgrades and improvements which the Engineering Consultant has observed while conducting the reviews and assessments to complete the annual reports.” Mrs. Mitchell informed members that the City’s debt calculation requirement was 1.5%. Referring to Page 4-6 of the Report, she noted that in FY14 the City had a net loss of $2.3M. She explained that although the City met the debt calculation, the loss was a result of the polar vortex which caused the City to increase the transfer from the Rate Stabilization Reserve from the budgeted amount of $4M to $7M. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City’s sales were $2M under the estimated amount and that created the net loss. She advised that she was in current conversation with Moody’s and they have some concerns with the transfer because there is a clause in the City’s resolution that indicates if the transfer will cause the City to miss the covenant, the City is to hold that transfer. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the City has the Rate Stabilization Reserve for that purpose, noting that if the power supply spikes, the City covers it. She stated that she had another call with Moody’s scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, 2015 and would keep members apprised. Mayor Christiansen asked if it would be convenient for the Chairman of the Utility Committee, himself and, perhaps, the Council President to sit in on that call as well. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that this was not typical; however, they could sit in on the call if they wished. She explained that she simply wanted to make members aware of the discussion, noting that staff had already had two (2) discussions with Moody’s. Mrs. Mitchell advised that she had also sent Moody’s several pieces of information, one (1) of which was the balance in the Rate Stabilization Reserve as of June 2013, which was 35% of revenue. She explained to Moody’s that the policy is 10% and the City was more than well enough funded, had set aside those funds to cover volatile issues such as this, and was following financial procedures. Mayor Christiansen questioned how it would affect the City’s bond rating if Moody’s does not understand the reason why the City increased the transfer. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that, based on her previous conversations with Moody’s, she did

Page 26

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 23 not think that they would downgrade the City; however, rather than putting the City on a positive outlook, they may put the City on a stable or a watch, or possibly a negative. Mayor Christiansen asked if the City of Dover was the only utility that they deal with that had to take such action because of the change in the weather. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she could not answer that question; however, she stated that Moody’s would be reviewing the credit of many other entities at a meeting scheduled with a utility review committee, not just the City of Dover’s credit. [City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, members were informed that Moody’s had affirmed the Aa2 rating of the City of Dover’s electric bonds.] Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mrs. Mitchell stated that on a scale of one (1) to 10, the City’s concern regarding this matter should be around three (3). In response to Mr. Hutchison’s question regarding the additional $6M or $7M expense last winter related to peaking time, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the City was required to run the plant and could not because there was no oil available. In addition, she stated that the City had to purchase off the open market, through PJM, and the price escalated because of the cold weather. As a result of these factors, the City had to transfer an additional $3M from the reserve to the operating fund. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Mitchell advised that everyone under PJM, including the City, has the same reliability standards and must be able to run when they are called on or be penalized. She explained that there was not a problem with the operation of the plant or the people who operate it; the plant was unable to run when called on because there was a problem with oil deliveries across the peninsula. Mr. Blakeman noted that this was not the first time that the City had to take units offline because of fuel unavailability. Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt, LLP and the City’s Power Supply Attorney, reviewed background information regarding some of the market forces involved in what happened during that polar vortex period. He stated that he has other clients who require gas and they have had more interruptions in the past two (2) years than in the past 15 years. In terms of their demand on the system, gas supplies on Delmarva have gone down and the pipes have not been able to supply it. He advised that many people are relying on oil during that time of year and the City should pay in advance or have a contract to ensure they have oil deliveries scheduled. Mr. Betts noted that this is a new way for them to exercise their market power to guarantee that they receive payment. Additionally, Mr. Betts informed members that PJM has lifted the cap on pricing. He explained that, previously, there was always a market price based on dispatched prices; however, during the first polar vortex, it capped out at $1,000 and people

Page 27

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 24 complained that they could not get the gas or oil and pay for it, even at $1,000 per megawatt hour (MWh). Mr. Betts stated that $1,000/MWh equated to $1.00 per kilowatt hour (KWh), noting that the City normally pays $0.04 per KWh. Mr. Betts advised that many companies were affected when PJM lifted the cap on pricing because they did not have contracts that allowed them to float through the extraordinary costs. He stated that it was done very quickly in order to get the market back in balance and many utilities could not recover that cost. Mr. Betts explained that some companies may have had a guaranteed price of $0.09 per kilowatt hour in the wholesale market and had to take a loss on the other $0.91 because their contracts did not allow it. He stated that companies like Washington Gas Energy Services have gone out of the business because of that year and all of the changes that happened suddenly. Mr. Betts advised that one (1) of the things that Moody’s and others are looking at is if the City is able to pass through and recover extraordinary costs, noting that if an entity’s rate structure allows for that, the entity is in a better position. Mr. Betts advised members that last year The Energy Authority (TEA) assumed that the City’s plant was not going to dispatch and then it needed to dispatch. He stated that having Mr. Harry Maloney, Electric Director, onsite will add insight to the plant since he can probably predict when the plant is going to run. Mr. Betts noted that TEA’s dispatching gas, the plant being ready, and onsite understanding regarding what to do next will really help the City in the future. Mr. Blakeman questioned whether the cap had been reinstalled. Responding, Mr. Betts stated his understanding that the cap was now at $1,800, which is pretty high. He expressed his excitement about where the City is in terms of planning the next set of generation, noting that gas is one (1) of the factors in the mix but it is not the whole answer. The Committee recommended acceptance of the report as presented. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). TEA/NAES Report (May) The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for May 2015 was provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. Referring to the year-to-date summary on Page 12 of the TEA Report, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the Variance indicated that the Actual YTD was approximately $1.3M more than the Budget YTD, noting that this was in

Page 28

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 25 part due to the City’s load being up slightly. He advised that the variance had decreased fairly substantially over the last couple of months and he was hopeful that the variance would continue to close, as he expected that the numbers for June would be relatively strong because it was warm. Mr. Koenig advised that the Final Cost of Service to City of Dover Ratepayers was budgeted at $63.42 per megawatt hour (MWh) and the Actual YTD was approximately $64.02 per MWh. Noting that there was only a slight variance, he stated that this was a good indication that things were tracking as expected throughout the year. Referring to the Generation Summary on Page 4 of the TEA Report, Mr. Blakeman noted that the actual revenue had come in below budget for seven (7) out of the 11 months. He questioned if the City would be able to recover that revenue during the last month, or if it would even out since the actual revenue far exceeded the budgeted amount during a couple of the months. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated it would be very close. The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Report for May 2015. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Updates The Committee deferred discussion of these items. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 13, 2015 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on July 13, 2015 with Chairman Hare presiding. Fiscal Year 2014/15 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program - Police Vehicle Computer/Video Technology Upgrades & SORT Firearms Major Marvin Mailey, Deputy Chief of Police, advised members that the Dover Police Department recently submitted a grant application through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) for the 2015 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). He stated that the Dover Police Department intends to upgrade/replace nine (9) additional vehicle computer/video systems. Grant funding will be combined with $54,000 budgeted for the mobile data computer (MDC) portion of the system for this purchase. Major Mailey stated that these systems will be purchased for the nine (9) new vehicles that will be coming on line during FY16. The vendor for the purchase

Page 29

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 26 would be COBAN and was approved as a sole vendor last year when grant funds were used for the same purpose. This brand of equipment is currently being used by the State Police and other agencies throughout the state. Major Mailey indicated that a portion of the funds would also be used to replace three (3) shotguns and night scopes for the department’s Special Operations Response Team (SORT), noting that the weapons are more than 20 years old. This purchase would be awarded to a state contract vendor that is an authorized gun dealer. Major Mailey stated that this grant request is for $48,891 from the state to assist with the purchase of these items. He informed members that the grant had been applied for; however, to date, it had not been approved. Major Mailey indicated that the police department was quite certain that the grant would be approved, since it is an annual application. Staff recommended approval of the grant project, as requested. The Committee recommended approval of the grant project, as requested. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Disposal of Excess Property - Silver Lake Drive (East Lake Gardens) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, informed members that the City Manager’s Office had received a request to abandon a certain portion of right-of-way adjacent to property owned by Bruce and Della Parham at 107 Silver Lake Drive in the East Lake Gardens Subdivision. He stated that Mr. and Mrs. Parham wished to make various improvements to their property and would like to take ownership of an irregular piece of right-of-way adjacent to it. Mr. Koenig reviewed a property survey for 107 Silver Lake Drive and explained that Mr. Parham’s driveway is located off of the odd shaped right-of-way on Silver Lake Drive and Mr. Parham mows approximately 40 feet of grass before he gets to the actual edge of the roadway. Mr. Koenig stated that Mr. Parham contacted him to determine the City’s interest in disposing of this excess right-of-way because he is desirous of expanding his house and adding on a garage. Mr. Koenig reviewed the real property tax map for the subdivision outlining the varying widths of the rights-of-way for Silver Lake Drive, noting that the right-of-way adjacent to 107 Silver Lake Drive is 85 feet wide; whereas, other rights-of-way in the subdivision are only approximately 50 feet wide. Mr. Koenig informed members that approximately 39 feet of the 85 foot right-of-way is unimproved. He stated that Mr. and Mrs. Parham are currently maintaining this area adjacent to their property and the City of Dover has no plans to further improve or

Page 30

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 27 enhance this right-of-way. Mr. Koenig explained that the City may have previously desired to put in an additional boat ramp in this area; however, during his employment with the City, it has never been pursued, nor had there been any indication that the City would pursue adding a boat ramp or any type of parking in this area. He stated that Mr. Parham’s request is essentially that the City allow him to hire a surveyor and create a deed to transfer this excess right-of-way to his property. Mr. Koenig explained that once this parcel is transferred, it would become part of Mr. Parham’s lot and part of the taxable real property in the City. Mr. Koenig stated that the excess right-of-way is not large enough to create a buildable lot in this subdivision; therefore, it was his recommendation that the excess property be conveyed to the abutting property owner in accordance with Exception C of the Procedures for Sale and Disposition of Real Property. He advised that all costs to survey the land and prepare a deed for the transfer of the area shall be the sole responsibility of Mr. and Mrs. Parham, if they wish to proceed, and that staff would review all of the documentation prior to signature. Staff recommended the following: 1) determine that the property is excess property; and 2) authorize the City Manager to convey the excess property in accordance with Exception C of the Procedures for Sale and Disposition of Real Property. Referring to the excess property to be conveyed to Mr. Parham, Mr. Shevock questioned the amount of money that this would add to the tax roll. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that the amount was difficult to distinguish as an unbuildable lot by itself, noting that it would essentially be added to the land value of Mr. Parham’s parcel and the assessor would appropriately value it. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig explained that if Mr. Parham were to build a garage, this would add another assessment. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that he could not determine that the City had any use for this property; therefore, it is excess. In response to Mr. Anderson and referring to the real property tax map for the subdivision, Mr. Koenig explained that Mr. Parham’s property was labeled as parcel 06 and is located immediately adjacent to Silver Lake Drive, beginning where the right-of-way increases to 85 feet and running all the way to the lake. Mr. Anderson questioned whether this property was near Sunset Drive, noting that residential complaints were previously received because people did not have access to get out of the driveway. Responding, Mr. Koenig referred to the real property tax map for the subdivision, explaining his understanding that Garden Lane used to extend further to the right of the word Garden as depicted on the map. He stated that the right-of-way was abandoned to a property owner in 1985 and became part of the subject property. Mr. Koenig indicated that this situation was similar but not quite

Page 31

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 28 the same. Referring to the complaints, he stated that staff had reviewed the surveys of at least one (1) of the property owners, as well as the Council minutes where the right-of-way was abandoned. Mr. Koenig stated that, based on his non-legal review, it appeared that the property owner had done things correctly in accordance with what he was granted by the City. In response to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Koenig advised that, to his knowledge, there were no utilities in this right-of-way and that the survey of the area would determine the existence of any utilities. Mr. Koenig explained that there was an overhead pole line on the east side of the property where the right-of-way becomes 85 feet, which carries electric, telephone, and cable. He stated his understanding that the water and sewer lines were in Silver Lake Drive. Mr. Koenig informed members that the City would maintain a utility easement over any utilities indicated by the survey. Regarding the access issue referred to by Mr. Anderson, Mayor Christiansen stated that there is a fire hydrant that is located on private property due to the City conveying the property. Mr. Koenig stated that the fire hydrant in this area would most likely be abandoned or moved in the future. Mr. Hutchison questioned whether the City had canvassed the neighborhood to determine what the feelings were regarding this matter. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that the neighborhood had not been canvassed and letters were not sent to the neighborhood because this situation was different than when the City abandons the full right-of-way. He stated that if members would like that to be done, staff could do it just to make sure there are no objections. The Committee recommended, provided local property owners are surveyed and there are no problems, that a certain portion of right-of-way adjacent to property located at 107 Silver Lake Drive in the East Lake Gardens Subdivision, owned by Bruce and Della Parham, be determined to be excess property, and that the City Manager be authorized to convey the excess property in accordance with Exception C of the Procedures for Sale and Disposition of Real Property, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Timeline for Review of Fiscal Year 2016/17 Budget (Deferred during the meeting of June 22, 2015) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the FY16 Budget Calendar. He explained that advancing the timeline would create challenges regarding revenue projection. Mr. Koenig informed members that City Council recently adopted the FY16 Budget which included the expected revenue projections, and the State did maintain the expected levels; however, it remained an unknown factor until the end of June. He

Page 32

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 29 stated that passing a budget in April would create uncertainty, noting that it would be difficult to provide accurate numbers and predict what would happen at the end of the State’s session. Mr. Koenig indicated that there are ways for staff to provide additional information as the budget year progresses to try to fine tune expectations. Mr. Koenig reminded members that staff had kept spending and costs down in the 20 and 30 series of the operating budget. He stated that staff had done a fair job of maintaining the capital plan during the last few years, noting that although staff had to adjust project budgets occasionally, the actual total funding stream was consistent. Mr. Koenig advised that staff expected to keep that trend going forward, explaining that large increases in the FY16 budget were the result of additional personnel and increased healthcare costs. Mr. Koenig stated that if Council wanted to accelerate the budget schedule, he would comply; however, he reiterated that it would be more difficult for staff. Mr. Shevock questioned if the City received funding other than municipal street aid from the State of Delaware. Responding, Mr. Koenig advised that, for FY16, the City received municipal street aid based on a formula; payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT), which remained fairly consistent; and realty transfer tax. He explained that when State budgets are very tight, PILOT is often an item that they think about adjusting. Mr. Koenig informed members that after Council completed their budget hearings for the FY16 budget, the State began discussing the possibility of adjusting the local share of the realty transfer tax. He stated that the vote taken by the State would have affected the FY17 budget; however, it highlighted the potential impact on local governments of the State voting very late in the budget year. Mr. Koenig indicated that any type of legislation being considered by various committees or legislators could potentially impact the City, especially if it affects property assessment, licensing, or any type of additional tax that the City may want to incorporate. Mayor Christiansen stated that he had spent a few days at Legislative Hall during the last session and expressed his opinion that it would not hurt the City to have a preliminary budget that reflects the possible shortfalls that the State of Delaware is going to have. It was his feeling that staff should develop the budget ahead of time, not taking into consideration Community Transportation Funds (CTF) or transfer tax monies. Mayor Christiansen advised that the City may see an increase in PILOT from the State, since the City’s delegation was asked to request the appropriate amount of PILOT. However, he noted that transfer tax is not sacred, healthcare costs continue to increase, and municipal street aid may disappear altogether. Mayor Christiansen suggested providing Council with a preliminary draft budget by the middle of March to give members a rough idea of the City’s future and the revenues that will be available. It was his feeling that although this may place additional stress on staff, it would certainly relieve Council of surprises.

Page 33

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 30 Mr. Hare stated that his primary concern was expenses, not revenues. He suggested that staff prepare a preliminary budget by the end of March using FY16 revenues and projected increases in expenses. He expressed his opinion that Council needed more than three (3) weeks to review and address expenses. Mr. Shevock noted that the City may not receive funding from the State next year; therefore, he suggested that staff prepare a preliminary budget excluding State funding. Mr. Anderson reminded members that in previous years, Council held their first budget workshop around February to discuss the status of the economy and City revenues and expenses. He stated that he would like to see this type of workshop resumed. Mr. Anderson expressed his opinion that Council did not need to pass a budget in March or April; however, Council could hold a workshop in February or March to set priorities, and staff could hold budget workshops beginning in April. It was his feeling that the workshops did not have to be held all at once; instead, he would prefer some in April and May, with the Council mark-up to conclude in late May. Mayor Christiansen noted that having a preliminary budget in March would also allow members of Council, staff, and the public an opportunity to present an alternative budget. Mr. Hare informed members that the PILOT the City receives from the State of Delaware had been addressed with the City’s legislators. He explained that the City currently has approximately $300M worth of assessed State property; however, the City only received $270,000 in PILOT. Comparatively, Mr. Hare stated that the City of Wilmington has $188M worth of State property and they receive $2.7M in PILOT. Responding, Mayor Christiansen advised that a resolution had been submitted that would change this but he was not certain how far it would go. Mr. Koenig reiterated that a lot of work goes into the budget, but explained that if members request a preliminary budget for all funds earlier, staff would meet the schedule. He stated that his only caveat was that the revenue numbers would be less solid as they moved further away from the end of the June. Mr. Hare stated that he was really only concerned with the projected expenses and the preliminary budget could include the FY16 revenues. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend that staff provide a preliminary FY17 budget between March 15 and March 31, 2016, to review expenses. The motion was seconded by Ms. Maucher.

Page 34

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 31 Noting that the City of Dover relies on funds from the State of Delaware, Mr. Slavin questioned whether the City had ever examined the possibility of changing the fiscal year to align with the federal government, which begins October 1st. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that he would need to consult with Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, to determine if the fiscal year was related to an accounting standard. Mayor Christiansen advised that the City’s fiscal year used to be January through December. Mr. Slavin stated that he was unaware of what might be involved in making the first adjustment; however, he believed it would require more than one (1) discussion by the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, noting that he was not requesting a response at this time. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that changing the City’s fiscal year would require research. She advised that most municipalities and the State of Delaware begin on July 1st; however, the federal government begins its fiscal year on October 1st and some municipalities may begin then as well. Mrs. Mitchell stated that another possibility would be to begin the fiscal year on January 1st, noting that the City of Newark does this. Referring to Mr. Koenig’s comment, Mr. Slavin stated that a two (2) year budget cycle may also have merit and suggested that the committee come back with pros and cons regarding these suggestions, including what confusion may be caused by having a different fiscal year than the State. Mr. Hare stated that he liked the idea of beginning the City’s fiscal year on October 1st, since all of the State monies would be in by then. Mr. Slavin noted that the City does not receive a significant amount of funding from the federal government. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that it is confusing that the federal fiscal year is different than the City’s when dealing with grants and overlapping years. Mr. Shevock noted that the City’s tax bills go out on July 1st each year and are part of that fiscal year budget. He questioned how the tax year would be affected by a change in the fiscal year. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that everything, including taxes, would have to be changed to coincide with the new fiscal year. Mr. Slavin suggested that the City could have a 15-month tax year, followed by a 9-month tax year in order to implement the change. The Committee recommended that staff provide a preliminary FY17 budget between March 15 and March 31, 2016.

Page 35

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 32 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Proposed Amendments to the City of Dover Code of Ordinances - Chapter 2 - Administration, Article IV - Officers and Employees, Division 4 - Controller/Treasurer and Division 5 - City Clerk; Chapter 54 - Health and Sanitation, Article I - In General, Section 54-1 - Health Inspector Generally; Chapter 82 - Planning, Section 82-2 - City Planner; and Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article I - In General, Section 102-3 - Administrative reporting Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, informed members that during the Regular Council meeting of March 23, 2015, City Council adopted a motion “to maintain a full time mayor and that all departments, excluding the City Clerk's Office and the Finance Department, will report to the City Manager who is appointed by and will report to City Council.” Mrs. McDowell reviewed proposed ordinance amendments which would change the selection and/or reporting of the City Planner and the City Assessor to the City Manager. She advised that the Economic Development Office is not referenced in either the City of Dover Charter or the Dover Code of Ordinances, and City Council's motion of March 23, 2015 effectively moved the Economic Development Office from the Mayor to the City Manager. Mrs. McDowell stated that Charter amendments would be necessary to complete the transfer of the City Assessor and the Police Department to the City Manager. She informed members that the proposed amendments also remove the requirement for the annual reappointment of these positions. Staff recommended directing the City Clerk to prepare the necessary ordinance amendments for presentation to City Council/First Reading. Mr. Hare questioned whether members would want to leave the City Assessor as a Council appointee. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that would be a discussion for the next agenda item, noting that the proposed Charter amendments were suggestions based on Council’s previous motion and comments. Mayor Christiansen informed members that on March 9, 2015, City Council made a decision regarding the direction of the City, which gave the Mayor some responsibility; however, 14 days later, Council changed their mind. He questioned if any members knew or had researched why the City Clerk, Assessor, Planner, or Controller/Treasurer were put under the direction of City Council. Mayor Christiansen expressed his opinion that is was imperative that these departments remain under the control of City Council. While he stated that he did not want to appear self-serving, Mayor Christiansen expressed concern that the public had repeatedly told Council, in different ways and by different actions, that they want a strong mayor who works in consort with the Chief Operating Officer of

Page 36

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 33 the City, and for public safety to remain under the control of the Mayor. He stated that, through various elections, the public had reaffirmed that they want a strong Mayor who has the responsibilities of at least public safety and economic development. Mayor Christiansen reminded members that during the last municipal election, the two (2) top mayoral candidates debated the fact that the City needed a strong Mayor and a number of council members who did not believe in that are gone. He expressed his opinion that members should take a second look at the actions of March 23, 2015, give the Mayor some responsibility and allow him/her to work in consort with the City Manager on a daily basis, since the Mayor is the elected official who is present on a daily basis. Mayor Christiansen informed members that the City Clerk, Assessor, Planner, and Controller/Treasurer were put under the direction of City Council because, at the time, the City Manager told members of Council that unless they came back with four (4) other Council members, he did not have to talk to them. Mayor Christiansen cautioned members not to give away their responsibility, noting that they could take his away, but to take away Council’s responsibility would be a disservice to the public who had reaffirmed the direction they wished the City to take. He stated that his comments were no reflection on the current City Manager, explaining that the current City Manager and Assistant City Manager did a terrific job. Mayor Christiansen suggested that members take a long, hard look at the proposed ordinances and changes, rather than having one (1) committee meeting to discuss this matter. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mayor Christiansen stated that he would not have a problem with the City Manager being the Chief Operating Officer of the City who reports to the Mayor and Council. Mr. Hutchison stated that was the intent of this change. He explained that the City Manager is chosen based on education, knowledge, and skill sets that enable him/her to run a city and have responsibility for the budget, along with the City’s Controller/Treasurer. Mr. Hutchison reminded members that he had served the City of Dover as the Police Chief, Mayor, and a member of Council and expressed great concerns regarding the day-to-day operations and loss of control compared to what the City used to have. He stated that giving the City Manager the authority to be the Chief Operating Officer does not mean that he would run the Police Department; rather, the City Manager would be responsible for the operations and the finances, and would report to the Mayor or Council. Mr. Hutchison noted that the City Manager has the expertise, while elected officials are here to listen and be guided by the information provided. He stated that the proposal could be fine-tuned, and noted the Mayor would still be the point person and serve on top with the Council. Mr. Hutchison explained that the City was very complex, including the overall operation, various departments, personnel issues, labor contract negotiations, etc. He reminded members that, most importantly, under the current structure, the Police Department does not report to the City Manager and has nothing to do with the City

Page 37

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 34 Manager from a financial point of view. As an example, he reminded members that the Police Department requested ten (10) additional police officers in the middle of FY15, noting that you cannot run a city that way and no business plan would justify that type of change. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mayor Christiansen stated that the matter with the Police Department was something that should not have happened; however, he stated that the City knew that the need was there when Councilman Hosfelt was Chief of Police but the problem was deferred. Mayor Christiansen expressed his opinion that no one, including himself, who could get elected to serve as Mayor would ever want to interfere with the daily operations of the City; however, the Chief Executive Officer should either work in consort with or report to the Mayor. He reiterated that it was imperative to maintain checks and balances through Council retaining responsibility over the City Clerk, Assessor, Planner, and Controller/Treasurer; otherwise, the Mayor and Council would become non-entities in the government, and the citizens did not elect the Mayor and Council to be non-entities. Mayor Christiansen informed members that the City’s Charter was adopted in 1929 when people did not trust politicians; however, he stated that the Mayor and members of Council were not politicians but public servants, and the City’s hybrid form of government allows the public to get the most out of their money. Mr. Hutchison noted that it was important for the citizens of Dover to understand that the City Manager works at the pleasure of the Mayor and Council. He stated that the City Manager and other department heads do not have contracts; they perform their jobs on a daily basis and it is Council’s job to ensure that the City provides the best service for its citizens. Mr. Hutchison explained that the City needed to make some modifications within the structure in order to make the City Manager a chief operating person with a greater authority to bring together all of the departments within the City, including the Police Department, to present and deal with issues and accomplish the job that is asked by Council and the City’s citizens. He requested that members consider these issues, noting that he believes that the City can become better and more efficient by putting better controls in place. Mr. Sudler informed members that he had previously voiced his opinion in his proposal of Option A (a full-time Mayor's position, with consideration of changing the City's current form of government to a Mayor/Council form of government, where the City Manager and Chief of Police would be appointed by the mayor and confirmed by City Council, and that any positions which currently report to Council that are moved to report to the Mayor would only be removed for cause and with Council approval.) He stated his belief that the City is growing to the point where a strong mayor form of government is necessary. Mr. Sudler advised that this type of strong mayor/council form of government would allow Council to focus strictly on legislative issues and ordinances. It was his opinion that a city manager should

Page 38

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 35 be the chief administrative assistant, working with the Mayor and under his supervision, and they should work together to come up with departmental goals and ensure that those goals are met. He stated that this would also provide the criteria for a job description for the Mayor, which needs to be developed. Mr. Sudler stated that he strongly believes that the City needs a strong mayor form of government, noting his belief that it could work. He agreed with Mayor Christiansen and Mr. Hutchison that it needs to be fine-tuned and requested that members work together on this matter. Mr. Sudler informed members that the people had spoken, noting that during previous Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meetings members of the public expressed that they wanted the Mayor to be the focal point. It was his thought that a lot more could be accomplished if the City were to allow the Mayor to have the City Manager under his supervision, explaining that the Mayor would be able to address, and help the City Manager address, issues that arise on a daily basis, even departmental issues, since he is here on a daily basis and members of Council are not. Mr. Slavin stated that he has worked in the public sector for approximately 25 years and that reorganizations can certainly have value; however, especially in the public sector, they tend to be messy, confusing and often expensive. He stated that reorganizations are expensive in terms of actual dollars as well as in the trust that members build with the voters and taxpayers who support the positions. Mr. Slavin also stated that reorganization does not always work, noting that there is no guarantee that the new thing that members try will be successful. Mr. Slavin advised that Council had never really achieved consensus regarding this issue. While he did not want to denigrate this matter, he expressed his opinion that this matter has been a distraction. Mr. Slavin stated that the new members of Council had inherited a suggestion on this issue, not a mandate. He explained that this issue is open for debate and decision by the current Council; however, it was his opinion that Council has a lot of bigger issues to get to. He stated that he did not desire further discussions regarding this matter and would prefer, with five (5) new council members, that Council leave things the way they are and focus their time, energy and efforts on running things efficiently and, more importantly, effectively for the City. Mr. Anderson stated that this was a complicated situation and questioned whether leaving things the way they are would require a vote at this time, due to Council’s motion of March 23, 2015. He expressed his opinion that the City did not need to rush into a decision. Mr. Anderson stated that this is a definite concern to him and, if he were to make a choice today, he would probably agree with Mr. Sudler. Mr. Hare agreed that this issue had been on the table for a long time. He stated that he did not care what decision Council made on this matter; however, he urged members to make a decision. Mr. Hare reminded members that the City currently has a City Manager and an Assistant City Manager that are only responsible for half of

Page 39

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 36 the City, explaining that it is impossible to hold the City Manager accountable for the City’s budget, which is his responsibility, since he is not responsible for all of the departments. Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that members give the City Manager responsibility for the budget and everything that happens in the City, in order to hold him accountable if there is a problem. Additionally, he noted that the City Manager is currently unable to make recommendations in regard to matters that are not his responsibility, regardless of whether they are good recommendations. It was Mr. Hare’s thought that one (1) person should be responsible for the entire City so that Council can hold that person accountable. Referring to Mr. Hutchison’s comment, Mr. Hare stated that the Mayor could be the chief of the City and be responsible for managing the Police Department, but not the financial side of it. In response to Mr. Hare, Mayor Christiansen agreed that having one (1) budget was an important detail that may be lacking. He did not believe the City should have separate budgets for the City and the Police Department. Mr. Hare reiterated that the City Manager is not responsible for the Police Department, economic development, or any of the other responsibilities that fall under the Mayor, and if the Mayor remains the chief executive, he could also deal with the Police Department, except for the financial part of it. Mr. Hare suggested that this matter should be discussed during a separate meeting, in order for members to make a final decision. Mr. Hosfelt stated that, unless something had changed drastically in the past one (1) and one-half years, as the Chief of Police he always worked directly with Mr. Koenig and Mrs. Mitchell in developing the budget. He explained that he knew that what he did in regard to the budget had to go through the City Manager’s Office and Finance Department, and the Police Department did not operate independently from the rest of the City. Mr. Hosfelt noted that the Police Department was always deeply involved in the budget process, probably because it is the largest department. He did not think it was fair to say that the Police Department had a separate budget or were separate from the rest of the City because he did not believe that was ever the case. Mr. Hosfelt stated that the Police Department was always included as part of the package deal. Referring to the discussions pertaining to a strong mayor, Mr. Hutchison reminded members that the Mayor was previously a member of Council, presided over Council meetings, and had a vote but no veto power. He stated that the Mayor was a member of the team then; however, now the Mayor has a voice but no vote. Mr. Hutchison suggested that if members want the Mayor to be in charge, then he should earn his/her income by presiding over the meetings. He informed members that, currently, the Mayor does not have to attend any committee or Council meetings.

Page 40

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 37 Responding to Mr. Hutchison’s comments, Mayor Christiansen noted that the Mayor is an ex-officio member of all of the committees and it is his responsibility to attend all of the meetings. Mr. Hutchison indicated that when he served as Mayor he attended all of the meetings as well. He reiterated that years ago, the Mayor was really in charge and the responsibilities had been diluted over time. Mr. Hutchison stated that, as members review the issues and try to resolve the problems, if they choose to have a strong mayor, he would prefer to see the Mayor actively involved with the City every day. Mr. Hutchison questioned if Mayor Christiansen thought that presiding over Council would make him a greater part of the City. In response, Mayor Christiansen expressed his opinion that it would not make him a greater part of the City because Council should be the legislative body of the City and not administrative. Mr. Hare suggested that members continue this discussion at a separate meeting. He also indicated that the City could have the Mayor as the chief executive officer with no control over finances. Mayor Christiansen suggested making the Mayor part of the budget process in order to hold him accountable, along with the City Manager. Responding, Mr. Hare reminded members that the City Manager would be reporting to members of Council. Mr. Sudler expressed his opinion that the Mayor should have a vote since he represents the mass of the people in the City. He thought that the Mayor’s vote is valid and that the Mayor should participate in the process since he/she is an elected voice for the people. Mr. Sudler stated that he was uncertain how it would work but thought that the Mayor should play a more significant role. He informed members that he had researched this topic and found that in a strong mayor form of government, the mayor can have veto power and a vote. Mr. Hare moved to defer this matter as well as Item #5 - Proposed Amendments to the City of Dover Charter, and schedule a special meeting, without a time limit, to allow for further discussion. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock. Mr. Sudler suggested allowing for more input from the community, to provide the new members a new perspective. Responding, Mr. Hare indicated that the community could attend the meeting and share their comments during the open forum. He stated that he would also like to begin having quarterly town meetings again. Mr. Hosfelt expressed his opinion that it is the responsibility of each member of Council to talk to their constituents to find out what they want, noting that they were elected to represent their district.

Page 41

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 38 Mr. Hare stated that members could speak directly to their constituents and the public could also attend the meeting to speak. Mr. Sudler suggested that members could have a survey orchestrated for each member of Council to provide to their constituents during their individual district meeting. He noted that this would provide some type of tangible scale and members could report the data, since any member of Council could misrepresent their constituency. Mayor Christiansen reminded members that the Mayor had the responsibility to hold quarterly town meeting and stated that he would like to schedule a quarterly town meeting to discuss the issues and provide an opportunity for people to attend and give members their input. Mr. Hare indicated that the Mayor should proceed with scheduling the quarterly town meeting. The Committee deferred this matter, as well as Item #5 - Proposed Amendments to the City of Dover Charter, and recommended scheduling a special meeting, without a time limit, to allow for further discussion. During the Council meeting, Council President Slavin advised members that the Committee deferred consideration of this item and recommended scheduling a special meeting, without a time limit, to allow for further discussion. Additionally, because Charter and Code amendments are not required to move the Economic Development Office under the City Manager, the motion of March 23, 2015 effectively moved the department. Staff would like the action regarding the Economic Development Office affirmed to clarify the reporting structure for the office. Mr. Hare, Chair of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, stated that it was his understanding that the Economic Development Office did not require a Charter change and was moved under the City Manager. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, stated that the intent of this discussion, because the Committee deferred further action on the Charter and Code amendments, was to get clarification on the action of March 23, 2015 related to the Economic Development Office. She noted that it was technically moved under the City Manager; however, because the other amendments have been deferred, she thought that both the City Manager and the Mayor would like clarification that Council still intends for the Office to be moved under the City Manager. Responding, Mr. Hare stated that he believes that is the intent. Mr. Hosfelt stated that he thought they needed to sit down and hammer this issue out and make a decision one way or the other. He did not see the sense in singling out the Economic Development Office when no other decisions had been made. Mr. Hosfelt stated that they should make the time to decide, whether it is by holding special meetings, a referendum, or going out to their constituents to find out what they want.

Page 42

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 39 Mr. Neil moved to schedule a special meeting, without a time limit, to allow for further discussion of the reorganization of the City. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hosfelt. Mr. Hare requested that the meeting be scheduled when the full Council can attend and suggested some time in September. Mr. Hosfelt stated that he would like some time before the meeting to contact their constituents for their ideas and opinions. Mr. Sudler requested that all of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee minutes related to this issue be submitted to all of the new Council members. He suggested that they be provided back to the meeting when Mr. Holden and the rest of the community first came to them saying that they wanted a new organization for the government for the City of Dover. The motion to schedule a special meeting, without a time limit, to allow for further discussion of the reorganization of the City was unanimously carried. Council President Slavin, noting that the remaining issue was the reporting structure for the Economic Development Office, reiterated that the March 23, 2015 action by Council effectively reorganized that office by taking it from underneath the Mayor and placing it under the City Manager, and Staff was requesting affirmation of that action. Mr. Sudler moved to have further discussion of this issue, along with discussion regarding the City reorganization, at the special meeting being scheduled in September. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mrs. McDowell stated that the Economic Development Office is different from the other offices being considered for reorganization because, in March, the motion was made to move those departments under the City Manager and there is nothing in the Code or Charter that needs to be changed to move the Economic Development Office. She noted that right now the Economic Development Office is under the City Manager; however, because everything else had been deferred for further discussion, she did not believe that the City Manager was comfortable assuming that role without this Council saying they do or do not want to proceed that way. Mrs. McDowell stated that oversight of the Economic Development Office is currently in limbo. Mr. Hare stated that the move in March was made because it did not need Charter changes and it was Council's feeling that the Economic Development Office should report to the City Manager and he thought that was the way it needed to be to provide some accountability. Mr. Hare noted that the new Assistant City Manager has experience in economic development and it is a natural fit to have the Economic Development Office reporting to the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager. Mr. Slavin advised that an email was received from Ms. Joan Denny on July 27, 2015 regarding this issue and noted that copies were provided to each Council member. Mr. Hare moved to acknowledge receipt of the email, waive its reading, and place it into the record (Exhibit #2). The motion was seconded by Mr. Hosfelt and unanimously carried.

Page 43

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 40 Mr. Hare stated that they are reaffirming for Mr. Koenig the decision that was made in March that he is responsible for the Economic Development Office. He noted that they still need to discuss the Charter changes but the change to the Economic Development Office was already made and Mr. Koenig just wants reaffirmation of the decision. Mr. Sudler requested clarification on the Mayor’s duties, noting that he thought the Mayor was supposed to be head of economic development or to play a significant role in economic development according to the Charter. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that economic development is a part of the Mayor’s job description in the Dover Code. She noted that the job description was written before the creation of the economic development office and, once created, the economic development office was under the direction of several different departments. She advised that the motion that was adopted in March does not put the office under the Mayor, it puts it under the City Manager and it would be good for everybody if it was clarified. Mr. Sudler stated that he felt this issue needed more discussion because, as a new Council member, it is his understanding from his research that the Mayor is supposed to play a significant role in that component with the City. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that she believed the intent when the job description was written was for the Mayor to go out into the community and to find businesses to bring to Dover. Mr. Koenig stated that when the Economic Development Office was created, it was originally in the Planning Office, then it was under Public Services. When he became City Manager, there was concern about moving it back into the Planning Office because one (1) of the Councilmen at the time believed there was a conflict of interest for the Planning Office to be the overseer of the Economic Development Office. Mr. Koenig stated that in 2012 the Council, not through public input or requests from citizens, added it under the purview of the Mayor's Office. The issue for Staff really is that this is a relatively small office and several people in the office are part of the bargaining unit, and Council affirmed in the March meetings that this office should fall under the purview of the City Manager's Office. Mr. Koenig stated that it does not take the Mayor out of being involved with economic development. There are a number of people that come in and have an initial meeting with the Mayor’s Office regarding development projects and then those duties to promote economic development get divided up amongst the Economic Development Office, sometimes the Planning Office, and sometimes the City Manager's Office, but the first contact for economic development quite often is the Mayor's Office or the Planning Office. Then it reverts into the Economic Development Office. Mr. Koenig stated that he really just wants to clarify this going forward and not to tie up the discussion of economic development with the issue of Charter changes because the Charter, as far as the office management, is silent. Mr. Slavin stated that, as a compromise, they could provide the clarification that Mr. Koenig needs to move forward with City business with the understanding that it be revisited during the special meeting being scheduled in September as part of that larger context of reforms. Mr. Neil asked if the FY 2016 economic development budget was under the City Manager or the Mayor. Responding, Mr. Koenig advised that it has its own budget.

Page 44

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 41 Responding to Mr. Hosfelt, City Solicitor Rodriguez confirmed Mr. Koenig’s interpretation that a Charter amendment was not necessary with regard to the Economic Development Office. Mr. Sudler withdrew his motion to have further discussion of this issue, along with discussion regarding the City reorganization, at the special meeting being scheduled in September. Mr. Sudler moved to affirm City Council’s decision of March 23, 2015 to move the Economic Development Office under the City Manager, with the understanding that this matter will be revisited in September, which could lead to a different action. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried (Anderson and Lewis absent). (City Clerk's Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, official notification was received of Mayor Christiansen’s veto of this motion.) Mr. Hare clarified that the decision they made on March 23, 2015 would be affirmed and the Economic Development Office will report to the City Manager. He stated that he did not see the need in the future, in other issues, to reaffirm their decisions three (3) or four (4) months later. Mr. Hare felt that Mr. Koenig should have been able to take that on and if there was an issue then it would come up. Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that they do not reaffirm every decision; however, they reaffirm major decisions that were made when a majority of Council left office and a new majority came in. Proposed Amendments to the City of Dover Charter This item was deferred during consideration of the previous item. Mr. Sudler moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hosfelt and unanimously carried (Anderson and Lewis absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JULY 27, 2015 The Utility Committee met on July 27, 2015 with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Contract Award - North American Energy Services (NAES) Amended and Restated Operating Agreement During the committee meeting held earlier this evening, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, informed members that the City's power supply attorney, Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt, LLP; Mr. Harry Maloney, Electric Director; and Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, worked to negotiate an agreement with North American Energy Services (NAES) on behalf of the City of Dover to ensure that the City is getting the most out of the existing power plant with a third-party vendor operating it. Members reviewed the Amended and Restated Operation and Maintenance Agreement dated July 1, 2015 between the City of Dover and North American Energy Services (NAES). Mr. Betts provided members with a revised Page B-1, Appendix B - Performance Adjustment Provisions, explaining that the Environmental factor was previously omitted. He advised that this revision did not affect the weight of the other factors in the performance adjustment section.

Page 45

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 42 Mr. Betts stated that the section for environmental protection was a major issue for plant performance and this correction clarifies that NAES is penalized for each violation that occurs. He explained that, essentially, 25% of the 20% would be taken away each time there is a violation until four (4) violations occur, and they would be completely wiped out at 20%, which is about $100,000 on average over the five (5) year term of the contract. Mr. Betts informed members that changes were occurring in the PJM environment and the entire energy market. He advised that PJM had changed the way power plants are treated for capacity purposes. Mr. Betts explained that, beginning in 2018/19, every plant will have to be a capacity performance resource, which means that each plant has to be available anytime a maximum emergency is declared. He reminded members that during the polar vortex there were several plants that were unable to dispatch when ordered, either because they had interruptible gas contracts and there was no gas available because of the temperatures, or they were unable to crank up the oil. Mr. Betts stated that, during this maximum emergency, PJM still had enough capacity but the margin was very narrow and, as a result, PJM went through a process, then went to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) with a recommendation that plants be called capacity performance resources and receive a premium. He explained that the premium is supposed to be a way to guarantee performance and would reimburse the entity for having both oil and natural gas back-up fuel or a firm contract, noting that it costs more to have a firm gas contract than an interruptible contract. Mr. Betts advised that the premium is still unknown at this time but would be presented in the auction beginning on August 10, 2015, for the 2018/2019 market period. He stated that the expectation is that the price for capacity will be much higher than the current price, in order to ensure that plants will operate on maximum emergency days. Mr. Betts noted that the current market price for capacity is $118 per MW day and it is expected to increase to more than $180 per MW day, with some predictions indicating that it could be between $200 and $220 per MW day at this first auction. Mr. Betts explained that the other side of the issue is that the penalties are outrageous if there is a failure of performance. He stated that the interim rules are still subject to rehearing at the FERC; however, since the penalties are significant, The Energy Authority (TEA) and the City of Dover have begun discussing whether the performance adjustments in the proposed NAES contract align with where the City currently is with PJM. Referring to revised Page B-1, Appendix B - Performance Adjustment Provisions, Mr. Betts noted that under Commercial Unavailability and Capacity, if the plant does not perform, there is a reduction in NAES’ compensation. He stated that Commercial Unavailability is 35% of more than $500,000, which is a significant reduction and more than what the City had in prior contracts; however, it would not

Page 46

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 43 come close to the penalties for failure to perform. Mr. Betts reminded members that while a primary objective of the proposed contract was to ensure that the plant performs, there is a mismatch between the value of the contract and the penalties and, as a result, staff had discussed the possibility of adjusting the weights for Commercial Unavailability and Capacity in the coming year. Mr. Betts advised that in terms of the capacity performance requirement, the City is okay for this year but there will be a transitional capacity performance requirement and then the full requirement will begin in 2018/2019. Mr. Betts stated that staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amended and Restated Operation and Maintenance Agreement dated July 1, 2015 between the City of Dover and North American Energy Services (NAES), as presented with the inclusion of revised Page B-1, Appendix B - Performance Adjustment Provisions. Mr. Blakeman questioned if it would take six (6) months to terminate the agreement if there was a catastrophic failure, especially after 2017 when the City is down to one (1) generating unit. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that the six (6) month termination notification would still apply; however, he indicated that something could always be worked out. He expressed his hope that the City would not have a catastrophic failure that would wipe out Unit 3 and the VanSant plant. Mr. Betts noted that the expectation is, with the improvements that are being made at VanSant, that the City would continue to bid that unit in, and he would recommend a modification of the contract rather than a complete termination. Mr. Blakeman noted that the City would be losing Units 1 and 2, which would drop the City below the installed capacity to cover the peak load. He asked if there were still requirements to have enough capacity to cover the load and what the impact would be if the City only had the VanSant plant. In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Betts stated that there was still a requirement to have enough capacity to cover the load and explained that the purchase power agreement with Calpine Energy Services, L.P. for 40 MW would be considered by City Council during their meeting scheduled for later in the evening. He explained that 40 MW would cover the loss of Units 1 and 2 as well as the additional increment the City needs. Mr. Betts informed members that the City would also go out in the periodic markets to pick up any other difference the City may have to cover. The Committee recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amended and Restated Operation and Maintenance Agreement dated July 1, 2015 between the City of Dover and North American Energy Services (NAES), as presented with the inclusion of revised Page B-1, Appendix B - Performance Adjustment Provisions, as recommended by Staff.

Page 47

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 44 During the Council meeting, Mr. Koenig advised that City Staff, as well as the power supply attorney, Mr. Kirk Betts, have been negotiating this agreement on behalf of the City of Dover for a number of months. He noted that Mr. Betts has been at both of the last two (2) Utility Committee meetings to lay out the parameters of this agreement, which Mr. Koenig believed will put the City in a good position moving forward to efficiently manage power production. Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt, LLP, advised that the agreement with North America Energy Services (NAES) has been subject to negotiations for quite some time and was finalized several weeks ago. He stated that the agreement is a five (5) year contract with a six-month termination agreement in the event that things change dramatically. Mr. Betts stated that NAES has operated the plant on behalf of the City of Dover since 2007. With eight (8) years of significant experience, part of the position of the City’s negotiating committee is that they have got a lot more ability to manage the risks that they did not have when they first took over this project eight (8) years ago. In light of that, the amount of funds that are at risk under the contract were increased while fixing the amount that they get as compensation for their management agreement. Mr. Betts advised that the City will see an immediate reduction of about $70,000, increasing over the next year and a half to two (2) years to close to $200,000 and, with changes in staffing, they expect that total to be about $500,000 annually during the term of this contract, which is a significant change. He stated that at the end of this contract in five (5) years the City would actually be paying less than it is paying today for the same services. Mr. Betts advised members of the following contract items: the contract has a fixed fee and a fixed amount in the outreach section; NAES will continue to operate under the City's administrative procedures for procurement; there is now a special role for the City’s Utility Director giving him a direct, regular contact with the plant; the services are well defined in Exhibit A of the contract; and services that are off-site have been incorporated into the base contract price. Mr. Betts advised that there was a typographical correction to Exhibit B, which contains the performance amounts. He noted that the environmental component, which is 20% of the performance agreement, was omitted. Mr. Hutchison moved to authorize the City Manager to execute the Amended and Restated Operation and Maintenance Agreement dated July 1, 2015 between the City of Dover and North American Energy Services (NAES), as presented with the inclusion of revised Page B-1, Appendix B - Performance Adjustment Provisions (Exhibit #3), as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Mr. Hutchison moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT Members were provided the Quarterly Revenue Report as of May 2015.

Page 48

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 45 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of May 2015, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). APPOINTMENTS RECOMMENDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT SLAVIN - HEALTH INSURANCE COST RESEARCH AD HOC COMMITTEE Council President Slavin requested the following appointments to the Health Insurance Cost Research Ad Hoc Committee: Councilman Scott W. Cole Councilman William F. Hare Mayor Robin R. Christiansen Scott Koenig, City Manager Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the appointments to the Health Insurance Cost Research Ad Hoc Committee, as recommended by Council President Slavin, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). APPOINTMENTS/REAPPOINTMENTS - RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CHRISTIANSEN Mayor Christiansen requested the following appointments/reappointments: Dover Housing Authority - Mark Harmon - Six (6) Year Term to Begin August 15, 2015 and to Expire August 15, 2021 (to fill the expiring term of Raymond L. Paylor) Ethics Commission - Gary Coy - Five (5) Year Term to Expire July 31, 2020 Public Advisory Committee of the Dover-Kent County MPO - Jonathan Contant - Two (2) Year Term to Expire July 2017 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the appointments/reappointments, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). PURCHASE POWER AGREEMENT (CAPACITY) - CALPINE ENERGY SERVICES, L.P. The City’s power management team, along with The Energy Authority (TEA) and Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, recommended the purchase of 40 megawatts (MW) of Unforced Capacity for a five (5) year term starting on June 1, 2018 and running to May 31, 2023 at the DLP South capacity point (I.E. - Cartanza Substation for Dover). The proposed 40 MW purchase will cover the City of Dover’s retirement of Units 1 and 2 plus another 6 MW of capacity to cover the City’s projected load requirements. The five (5) year term gives the City time for planning, engineering, power contracting and/or construction to meet future capacity obligations to serve our load within the PJM footprint. As Mr. Betts stated in the July 13, 2015 Utility Committee meeting, “we live in an exciting time of changes and new developments in the energy markets.” The City will be facing

Page 49

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 46 increasing demands regarding solar (Delaware State RPS requirement) obligations, Clean Power Plant/EPA requirements, energy efficiency standards as well as “behind the meter retail generation” in the form of Solar, Wind, Battery and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. The City must continue to meet its obligations to service all customers at lowest possible energy cost. Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, advised that the Purchase Power Agreement consists of several parts. The first part is the Master Power Purchase and Sale Agreement (EEI) which allows the City to transact business from time to time with Calpine First Energy and Capacity Services. The second part is the actual transaction confirmation for 40 MW of capacity out of the new Garrison Energy Center, a plant located in Dover. Mr. Betts reminded members that City Council made the decision to retire Units 1 and 2 by the 2018 energy year. He advised that the retirement will cause the City to be 34 MW, plus some other MWs of capacity, short. The purpose of this agreement is, in part, to conceptually replace that capacity. Mr. Betts stated that it will also create a hedge in the marketplace to protect the City against the volatility in the market for capacity. Mr. Betts advised that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), acting in response to PJM, has now instituted a new way of looking at capacity, or capacity performance resource. The capacity performance resource means that this entity absolutely must perform during peak periods of maximum emergency in PJM. If that unit fails to perform, there is a tremendous penalty. Mr. Betts advised that Calpine is state-of-the-art, has a very low heat rate, is brand new, and has a very low probability of failing. Calpine assigns that capacity to the City of Dover and it is technically the City’s most extraordinary unit for 40 MW and, if that unit fails, the City is not responsible for the penalty. Mr. Betts noted that the third area of benefit is that the price, while originally proposed at $177.50, has been reduced by $1.50 due to the work of Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, and the pressure from the City’s utility group. He noted that this reduction will save approximately $110,000 over this five (5) year period. Mr. Betts advised that, although this is a significant commitment, it protects the City against volatility in the energy and capacity markets. He advised that they have been hearing prices in the $200 range and, with this contract, the price will be $176 per megawatt-day. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Betts stated that he did not believe the price will be any lower in the auction and they were able to obtain a current premium with the contract. He advised that Calpine is also benefitting from a guaranteed stream of revenue from the City. He was confident that for the first year, which is 2018/19, the City will do better than what the market provides, noting that, like all options, there is volatility in the beginning and it sometimes drifts off. Mr. Betts stated that, considering planned and proposed retirements, capacity requirements, pressure for new, more expensive capacity, and volatility, this was the right step to take and the five (5) year term was appropriate. Responding to Mr. Hosfelt, Mrs. Mitchell stated that this item is not budgeted in the current year and that the City is three (3) years out from budgeting it in FY2019. She noted that it has been included in the Financial Model.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 47 Noting that the polar vortex was very costly to the City, Mr. Neil asked how the contract would protect the City against a future polar vortex. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that with this contract, the City would have 40 MW at Calpine, which has a firm gas contract and an oil backup, so there is an expectation that the plant will absolutely perform. Mr. Betts advised that the City of Dover plants have the same obligation to perform and they are considering many different options going forward to add value to the City without the risk of non-performance. Mr. Hutchison moved to authorize the City Manager to execute the Master Power Purchase and Sale Agreement as well as other documents required to complete the purchase of 40 MW of unforced capacity over the proposed term. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Lewis absent). Council President Slavin, on behalf of all Council members, thanked the Staff members who worked on this issue with due diligence. He also thanked Mr. Betts for his efforts. OVERVIEW OF STORM WATER SURVEY Mr. Scott D. Koenig, City Manager, advised that the Department of Public Works is about to undertake a public opinion survey which will begin in early August and run through the end of September. He noted that this survey will provide multiple benefits to the City of Dover. First is to help ascertain information from the public on their feelings about the state of flooding and surface water quality within the City of Dover. The information gathered will provide useful data to continue with the City’s storm water utility study that began last year under the direction of the Public Works engineers, in partnership with a grant from the State of Delaware. Mr. Koenig stated that the second benefit is that the survey will be part of the City’s required public outreach and education on issues facing storm water for the Municipal Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. He noted that Staff is planning on having hard copies of this survey located at City Hall, the Dover Public Library, the Pitts Center, and 5 East Reed Street. Mr. Koenig stated that they would also utilize the City’s website and Facebook page to promote the survey by linking to an internet-based survey collection system to tabulate the results. Mr. Koenig noted that Staff is trying to get as many responses as possible to determine how people feel about flooding within the community, if it is really a problem or a perception, and how willing residents are to help resolve the issue. He reminded members that the City is behind on compliance with the MS4 permit and now that the environmental scientist is on board, Public Works staff has been working diligently to comply with the permit. Mr. Koenig stated that although work on the permit has been transferred to the Department of Public Works, the Planning Office continues to provide a number of support functions in regard to the MS4 permit. Mr. Sudler suggested that the survey be disseminated with the utility bills to increase participation.

EXHIBIT #2 Regular Council Meeting of 07/27/2015 Stein, Jody From: Joan <jed1492@aol.com> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2015 12:33 PM To: City Clerks Office Subject: Correspondence to be read into the record of tonights meeting TO BE READ IN IT'S ENTIRETY AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 27, 2015 As I was unable to attend the Legislative Finance Administration Committee meeting on Monday July 13, 2015, I sent an email requesting that my comments concerning proposed changes to the City Charter be read into the record. I am now aware that my comments were not read into the record at that meeting. As I am trying to be fair, I will assume that the Mayor’s remarks on the subject at the July 13 meeting may have led someone to believe that reading my email was no longer necessary. However, my intention was not to have the email read only if the subject of Charter change came up, but to enter into the record my statement to the Council of the significance of the proposed Charter changes, and the gravity of Council's actions. I understand that not every Council person may be aware of the importance of making changes to our Charter. Not every elected official has a degree in Public Management. I hope the reading of this correspondence will serve as a reminder that there is a need to slow down the process. Those directly involved in this issue-- especially newly elected officials-- need to pause and take a deep breath. We all need to fully understand where we have been before moving forward with these proposed changes. We elect a Mayor and Council and, in that process, we give those officials the power to represent us. Diluting the power of the Mayor and Council by passing decision making on to the City Manager and City Clerk is essentially changing our form of government. This matter must not be taken lightly. The following is my original email of July 13, 2015: ……………………………………… Honorable Council members: The City Charter is the foundation document behind the government. The Charter outlines the scope of what the government does as a whole, including its rules and responsibilities to the citizens. It also lists the powers, checks, and 1

Page 71

balances that guide and define the Council. In all these ways, the charter represents the needs of the city as a whole. As I read these proposed changes, I feel they are primarily giving power to an unelected official, namely the city manager, and diluting the power of the elected Mayor and elected Council. These proposed changes, as now written, redirect power to the city manager, and take away the responsibilities of elected officials. These proposed changes must be accompanied by multiple ordinance changes, as well as changes to job descriptions. Details can be discussed at length, but this in itself is a complex process which clearly requires more study and discussion. I know you all have good intentions and some recent events may be the driving force for some of these proposed actions. Please use great caution as you consider appointing a "king maker". I also want to point out that I became aware of this important meeting only by chance, and I wonder just how many taxpayers are unaware as well. I feel strongly that in fairness to the constituents these types of discussions should not be held in the summer, when many are vacationing. And notice to the public must be made in the most visible ways. While I am certain there was no intent of a clandestine meeting to make changes behind the back of the taxpayers, I am sure you would agree that the appearance sometimes outweighs the intent.

Accordingly, NAES will accept each Budget as finally determined by Owner. If Owner does not authorize funds as requested by NAES, NAES will be relieved from providing the specific Services that have not been funded, provided that NAES delivers a written report to Owner that describes the reasons why NAES believes each disputed expense that NAES requested to be included in a Budget (or any request for modifications to a Budget pursuant to Section 5.3.1.2) is prudent. 5.3.2 Notification of Variance. NAES will submit a monthly report to Owner comparing the actual Operating Costs and Reimbursable Costs incurred during the current Operating Year with the projected Operating Costs and Reimbursable Costs projected in each line of the Budget. If, at any time during an Operating Year, NAES becomes aware that the aggregate of all Operating Costs or Reimbursable Costs exceeds or will exceed the amount provided in the applicable Budget or that the Facility is operating with any material deviations or discrepancies from the projections contained in the applicable Plan, NAES will promptly so notify 18

Any receiving Party disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 12.3 must use reasonable efforts, at the disclosing Party's cost, to obtain proprietary or confidential treatment of Confidential Information by the third party to whom the information will be disclosed, and to the extent such remedies are available, must use reasonable efforts to seek protective orders limiting the dissemination and use of Confidential Information. Moreover, this Agreement does not alter the rights of any Party to object to the rule, regulation, order or proceedings requiring the disclosure. ARTICLE XIII-TITLE, DOCUMENTS AND DATA 13 .1 Materials and Equipment.

NAES agrees to negotiate in good faith any consent to assignment and such other reasonable documents in connection with an assignment to Lender as Lender may request, provided, however, that all ofNAES's costs in connection therewith shall be Reimbursable Costs hereunder (including the fees and disbursements of NAES's attorneys).

PETITION TO AMEND AND ZONING DISTRICT Public Hearing before the Dover City Council August 10, 2015 Applicants/Owners: Erin and Robert Barrett Erin L. Cooper Address: 35 North New Street 39 North New Street Location: Southeast corner of North New Street and Fulton Street Tax Parcel ID #: ED05-076.08-05-39.00-000 ED05-076.08-05-40.00-000 Size: 0.137 +/- acres 0.089 +/- acres Present Use: Vacant Proposed Use: Townhomes Comprehensive Plan Designation: Mixed Use Present Zoning: RG-1 (General Residence Zone) Proposed Zoning: RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) Recommendation of Planning Commission: Following a public hearing on July 20, 2015, where no members of the public spoke with regard to the rezoning request, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended in favor of the rezoning as requested/ File Number: Z-15-03 Ordinance Number: 2015-12

Page 122

Z-15-03 Lands of Barrett and Cooper Report to City Council – August 10, 2015 Page 2 Existing Property The property is currently zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone) and consists of two vacant parcels of land at the southeast corner of North New and Fulton Streets. Surrounding Land Uses: The subject property is immediately surrounded by properties zoned RG-1. The property to the north across Fulton Street is zoned IO (Institutional and Office Zone) and is the tennis courts for Wesley College. The properties that are zoned RG-1 are mostly developed as residential properties. The subject parcels are within the Downtown Development District and “Restoring Central Dover” study area, where the City is working to promote homeownership and residential development. Comprehensive Plan: The 2008 Comprehensive Plan depicts the subject area as Mixed Use land use classification on Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map. This rezoning request is consistent with this classification. As previously stated, the subject properties are located within the Downtown Development District and the “Restoring Central Dover” study area, where the City is working with partners within the community to redevelop the residential neighborhood and promote homeownership. One of the implementation measures associated with these planning efforts is to amend the RG-1 zone to allow for a variety of housing styles, including townhouses and duplexes. These code amendments have not yet been drafted. The request for rezoning would allow for townhouse development, which is consistent with the overall development plan for the area. Request for RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) The following description of the RG-3 zoning district is provided from Article 3 §3 of the Zoning Ordinance. Permitted uses include: Article 3 Section 3 3.11 Any use permitted in one-family residence zones. 3.12 One-family group dwellings such as townhouses and row houses. The principal difference between the RG-1 zone and RG-3 zone is the allowance of townhouses. Recommendation of the Planning Staff and the Planning Commission: Staff supports the rezoning request from RG-1 to RG-3. The housing styles permitted in the RG- 3 zone are consistent with the Downtown Development District and Restoring Central Dover Plan. Additionally the rezoning request is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Staff’s recommendation was made prior to the opportunity for public comment on the application. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on Monday, July 20, 2015, where no members of the public spoke with regard to the application, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended in favor of the rezoning request.

Z-15-03 Lands of Barrett and Cooper Report to City Council – August 10, 2015 Page 3 CITY OF DOVER PLANNING COMMISSION July 20, 2015 Excerpt from Meeting Minutes - Draft Z-15-03 Lands of Barrett at 35 and 39 North New Street: Rezoning from RG-1 to RG-3 – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council for a rezoning application for two (2) parcels consisting of 0.137 acres and 0.089 acres for a total of 0.226 acres ± (9,844 SF ±). The properties are currently zoned RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The proposed zoning is RG-3 (Group Housing Zone). The properties are located at the southeast corner of North New Street and Fulton Street. The owners of record are Robert & Erin Barrett and Erin L Cooper. Property Addresses: 35 North New Street and 39 North New Street. Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-05- 39.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000. Council District 4. Ordinance #2015-12. Representatives: Mrs. Erin Barrett, Owner Mrs. Townshend stated that this application is a rezoning request at the southeast corner of New Street and Fulton Street. The properties are 35 and 39 North New Street. The current zoning classification is RG-1 (General Residence Zone); the applicant has requested RG-3 (Group Housing Zone). Just a clarification, the Zoning Ordinance says Group Housing Zone. What they mean by that is a townhouse zone. The RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) reads: any use that is permitted in the One Family Residence Zone which would be everything that’s permitted in the RG-1 (General Residence Zone) as well and one family group dwellings such as townhouses and row houses. This is the kind of scenario where they need to clean up the language because she doesn’t think townhouses are called group houses and it creates some confusion but that’s for another date. This is a property that is within the Downtown Development District; it is within the Restoring Central Dover study area where the City is working to try to promote homeownership and residential re-development. In this case, Staff is working on some ordinance changes that they would have to bring forward that would allow townhouses and duplexes within the RG-1 (General Residence Zone). Those ordinances are not in place yet so given that set of circumstances; Mr. and Mrs. Barrett have requested their re-zoning to RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) so that they could build townhouses on the lots. Colonel Welsh opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mr. Tolbert moved to recommend approval to City Council for Z-15-03 Lands of Barrett at 35 and 39 North New Street: Rezoning from RG-1 to RG-3, seconded by Mr. Holden. Mrs. Townshend stated that she would like the motion clarified to state for the reasons stated in the DAC Report including that it’s consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Restoring Central Dover Plan and the Downtown Development District. The motion was amended to include the reasons stated in the DAC Report including that it’s consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Restoring Central Dover Plan and the Downtown Development District, seconded by Mr. Holden and the motion was unanimously carried 7-0 by roll call vote. Mr. Holden voting yes, for the reasons stated in the motion and no resident displeasure with the action. Mr. Cregar voting yes, for all reasons previously stated comments. Mr. Tolbert voting yes, in concurrence with what’s been previously stated and that the petition is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Holt voting yes, it’s consistent with the

Page 124

Z-15-03 Lands of Barrett and Cooper Report to City Council – August 10, 2015 Page 4 Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Still voting yes, as it’s consistent with the Comprehensive Plan according to the DAC Comments and she thinks it will be an improvement. Mr. Ambruso voting yes, it’s consistent with what the City is trying to do in that area concerning the RG-1 (General Residence Zone). Colonel Welsh voting yes, for all of the reasons previously stated.

Since the inception of the full time mayor's office in1997,in addition to being the public's full time advocate at city hall it was that one of the other responsibilities that the Mayor be involved dailey in the marketing of our great city. Subsequently, the Office of Economic Development was created and eventually assigned to the scope of the Mayor's responsibility . Over the last year I have worked closely with the City Manager and Staff including the Economic Office. We have met with potential new businesses as well as existing ones to protect jobs currently we have in our community. I believe that it is important for the Mayor to continue to be part of that function considering the current state of our economy here in Dover and Kent County. It is an important function for the Mayor to work not only on making our city safe, but to build our tax and employment base to allow us to grow and maintain the services that not only make our city attractive but deserved by our taxpayers. Having said that we have a responsibility as Mayor and Council to our citizens to be deliberate in our actions not driven by personal conflict or hidden agenda. I look forward to working toward the changes necessary to make each of our respective Charter responsibilities ultimately in the best intC;Jresfthe Citizens e all serv rs for a better Dover, Robin R.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on July 27, 2015, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. with Chairman Hosfelt presiding. Members present were Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Sudler (arrived at 4:01 p.m.), Mr. Keller, and Mr. Shelton. Members of Council present were Mr. Cole (arrived at 4:01 p.m.) and Mr. Slavin (departed at 4:02 p.m. and returned at 4:03 p.m). Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 4:02 p.m. and returned at 4:10 p.m.). AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Proposed 15 MPH Speed Limits for Alley Ways During the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting of June 22, 2015, members considered 15-mph speed limits for alley ways and recommended referring this matter to Staff for review and recommendation to be followed up at the Committee’s next monthly meeting. This recommendation was approved by Council during their Regular Meeting of July 13, 2015. During the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting of July 27, 2015, Police Chief Paul Bernat advised members that a metro count survey had been conducted from June 29, 2015 through July 6, 2015 for the alley way between North State and North Bradford Streets, including the area from William Street to Columbia Street. He stated that the survey showed that 62 vehicles used the alley during that time, the highest recorded speed was 24 miles per hour, and the average speed was 12 mph. Chief Bernat stated that the Police Department believed that there was no need for a speed limit sign at this location. He indicated that if a driver was going faster than 25 mph, police officers would probably not be present when this occurred. Chief Bernat indicated that extra patrols could be done; however, he questioned whether or not there was a true speeding problem, stating that according to the data there was not. Mr. Hutchison asked how a 15-mph speed limit would be enforced if it were implemented. Responding, Chief Bernat stated that, given that only 62 vehicles traveled this alley in a week compared to approximately 40,000 vehicles that travel on North State Street in a week, the alley would be less of a priority in terms of enforcement. However, he noted that putting up a 15-mph sign would create an awareness of the need to travel slower than the normal 25 mph. In response to Mr. Keller, Chief Bernat stated that it was possible there would be more traffic in the alley during the school year. Overview - Loockerman Street/Forest Street Improvements (Roundabout) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the conceptual drawings for Loockerman Street and Forest Street Intersection Improvements. He advised members that this project was in the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) six (6) year plan, explaining that the City wished to make sure that it continued to be in this time frame since the City had received Downtown Development District (DDD) designation. Mr. Koenig stated that Staff believed that improving this corridor would be a benefit to the DDD and to the downtown area overall. He indicated that Century Engineering had prepared the conceptual drawings in approximately 2009 or 2010. Mr. Koenig advised that the intent was to potentially install a traffic circle at the intersection of South Kirkwood

Page 136

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 2 Street, Loockerman Street, Forest Street, and New Jerusalem Way to better manage that intersection and install plantings and landscaping along the corridor. He stated that this would improve access to various business and residential driveways progressing toward Route 8. Mr. Koenig noted that some of the improvements had been accomplished over the last few years, for example, a light had been installed at the intersection of Loockerman and Division Streets. Mr. Koenig stated that Staff believed that the City should pursue the aesthetic improvements of the proposed project, noting that overhead wires would be dropped underground and the project would also potentially include tying in the Clarence Street Extension to this corridor. He explained that a couple of public workshops had been conducted in connection with the project and the general consensus of those along the corridor was that this would be an improvement; however, there was also a desire that the project not affect businesses negatively. Mr. Koenig stated that DelDOT took comments as part of the public workshops; however, these comments were not reflected in the conceptual drawings. Mr. Koenig stated that Staff’s standpoint was that this is a project that the City should support as one of its higher priority projects when the annual transportation prioritization list is sent to the State, since this improvement would enhance the downtown area and help to continue to expand the downtown footprint into a few areas where it is currently under-marketed. In response to Mr. Hosfelt regarding the time frame for the project, if approved, Mr. Koenig estimated that the project would take three (3) to six (6) years to complete because of the DelDOT planning process and the need to move the project through the capital plan. He reiterated that some of the improvements had been constructed, such as sidewalks on West Street with the redevelopment of the NAPA Auto Parts store and improvements at the Inner City Cultural League location. Mr. Koenig indicated that Staff would prefer that the installation of the traffic circle, landscaping in the area, and moving of the overhead wiring to underground be done all at once to reduce disruptions. Mr. Vic Giangrant, owner and operator of Westside Car Wash, 805 Forest Street, stated that he thought the project would be a great improvement; however, he expressed the need to be aware of the traffic problem that Westside Car Wash creates on Forest Street. He explained that in the wintertime, when roads are salted, the car wash becomes very busy. Mr. Giangrant advised members that the traffic pattern for his business is mostly on the shoulder of Forest Street where there is parking. He noted that some of the conceptual drawings show “bump outs” into the street with trees, which he felt might present a traffic problem. Other than this feature, Mr. Giangrant felt that the project was a great idea. He indicated his desire not to make his customers angry or be a burden on the City of Dover Police Department, noting that traffic from his business can back up halfway to the railroad tracks. Mr. Giangrant explained that he employs approximately 40-45 people who work as fast as they can. He asked that this be taken into consideration and suggested starting the bump outs perhaps 50-60 yards past the car wash.

Page 137

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 3 In response to Mr. Sudler regarding whether Mr. Giangrant’s suggestion had been thought about in the development process, Mr. Koenig stated that he did not think it unreasonable to adhere to Mr. Giangrant's requests. Mr. Koenig advised members that Mr. Giangrant had attended one (1) of the workshops and had made similar comments at that time; however, these conceptual plans were first iteration plans and were not reflective of those comments. Mr. Koenig stated the desire to improve the corridor, but not at the expense at losing businesses. He felt that moving or omitting trees would be a minor component of the improvements, and Staff would be happy to accommodate that request since the benefits of having the business there and functioning far outweighed one (1) tree in the corridor. Mr. Hutchison stated that he liked the idea of the roundabout, but was also very interested in protecting the width of the roadway so that it would not impede or interfere with the operation of the Westside Car Wash or any other business. Mr. Koenig stated that if the project moves forward into design, all of those things would be taken into consideration in the final concept drawings. It was his belief that these drawings would have to go out for public review, which would provide an opportunity to comment again in the future. Mr. Keller concurred that the drawings would probably be brought up two (2) or three (3) times at a public hearing, noting that there is always room for change. Mayor Christiansen advised members that he belongs to the Dover-Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization and indicated that the project would have to be approved by the MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and other groups before it comes to final fruition and comments would be taken by the MPO TAC. Update - Ambulance Service Statistics Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that Staff receives a monthly update from PrimeCare, LLC, the City’s vendor for medical transport. He stated that these statistics would be included in the City Manager’s report in the future. Mr. Koenig reviewed the information for June 2015. He stated that for more than a decade, discussions had been held about growth and annexation in the City and Staff was caught off guard, from a service delivery and service impact standpoint, by the number of ambulance calls, noting that they had probably doubled in number. Over the last two (2) or three (3) years calls had flattened out somewhat, but there was a steady increase in calls in the decade prior. Mr. Koenig explained that PrimeCare’s services are supplemented by the volunteer services of the Camden-Wyoming and Cheswold Ambulance Services. The City makes donations to these organizations at the end of the fiscal year, and the amount of the donation is calculated based on the number of calls that they assisted the City with and is included in the budget. The donation basically reimburses these non-profit organizations for providing service in the City and had totaled roughly $15,000 per year over the last few years. Mr. Koenig informed members that the cost of the PrimeCare contract runs about $20,000 a month, noting that their activity is critical to the function of the City.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 4 Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that updates were requested from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) for projects that were put forward as transportation priorities in regard to the Capital Transportation Plan (CTP). She provided updates on these projects, as follows: Garrison Oak Connector Road No funding was proposed in the FY16 to FY21 CTP for this project which would connect White Oak Road to Route 8 to allow easy passage to the Route 1 on-ramp. College Road Corridor Upgrades No funding was being proposed in the FY16 to FY21 CTP for this project. Construction of Sidewalks Within the Walk Zone Of The New Dover High School DelDOT's sidewalk project at this location is complete; however, DelDOT would continue to work with the City and the Dover/Kent Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to identify small improvements. Mrs. Townshend explained that there was a need for sidewalks along the south side of Route 8, and this had been brought up in the City’s annual transportation prioritization listing to the State and had also been brought up through the MPO. Although sidewalks had been installed on the north side of Route 8, there was a lot of foot traffic from Dover High School to the McDonald’s and the Wawa on Route 8. Mrs. Townshend advised members that many students walk along the shoulder and the travel lane or in residents’ yards. Although DelDOT had indicated that their project was complete, Mrs. Townshend stated that the City was still trying to ensure that the south side of Route 8 is not forgotten. Route 8 / Hazlettville Road Connector No funding was proposed in the FY16 to FY21 CTP for this project. US Route 13 Sidewalk Construction The sidewalk connections on US Route 13 from South Court Street to Loockerman Street will be added to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Program and should be complete in the next few years. No other capital projects are planned in this area. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension This project would connect Crawford Carroll Avenue from its current ending point, just north of the Lowe’s Home Improvements on north Route 13, to the Delaware State Campus. Funding for preliminary engineering was shown in FY 16 and FY 17 in the current CTP, funding for right-of-way acquisition was shown in FY 18 and FY 19, and funding for construction was shown in FY 20 and FY 21.

Page 139

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 5 Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades Funding for preliminary engineering was shown in FY 16 and FY 17 in the current CTP. Funding for right-of-way acquisition was shown in FY 18 and FY 19. Funding for construction was shown in FY 20. Kings Highway / Route 13 Intersection Improvements No funding was being proposed in the FY16 to FY21 CTP for this project. Loockerman Street /Forest Street Improvements (Roundabout) Noting that this item was discussed by Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, earlier in the meeting during consideration of Item #2 - Overview - Loockerman Street/Forest Street Improvement (Roundabout), Mrs. Townshend advised members that funding for preliminary engineering was shown in FY 17 and FY 18, funding for right-of-way acquisition was shown in FY19, and funding for construction was shown in FY 20 and FY 21. US Route 13 Service Road Corridor No funding was being proposed in the FY16 to FY21 CTP for this project. Transportation Improvement District Mrs. Townshend noted that DelDOT and City Staff had been working together and meeting on a regular basis to develop land use scenarios related to the Transportation Improvement District (TID). She explained that a traffic study was being done with respect to the TID for the Route 13 and Bay Road corridor through the entire City. It was planned that improvements could be done at once, rather than each developer having to study large segments of the roadway over and over again, and potentially being responsible for improvements that would be well beyond the scope of their individual project. Mrs. Townshend advised that a fee would be associated with any projects in this area and would contribute toward these improvements. She stated that once the TID plan is complete, the improvements identified in the plan would be prioritized for the Capital Transportation Plan. Mrs. Townshend noted that modeling for the project was getting closer to completion. Traffic Calming - North State Street / Traffic Calming - Independence Boulevard Mrs. Townshend indicated that a meeting was held at the end of June to discuss traffic calming in the areas of North State Street and Independence Boulevard. She noted that the meeting included the Mayor, the Chief of Police, other City officials, and representatives from DelDOT. Mrs. Townshend stated that DelDOT had funding available for the planning, outreach, and design aspects of traffic calming in these two areas. She indicated that the City was in the process of providing members for a working group that would work on this project. Mrs. Townshend stated that this item was added to the agenda so that the Committee could have the opportunity to discuss how members wanted to proceed in terms of representation in the working group. Mr. Slavin stated that word was put out to the North State Street and Independence Boulevard community groups, respectively, to present the names of three (3) potential members who would be part of the working group, and the idea was to bring this to the Committee. He indicated that the working groups were different in nature than the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee.

Page 140

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 6 Mr. Shelton asked if funding had been put aside from DelDOT for the College Road corridor between McKee and Kenton Roads. He noted there are no sidewalks on that road, which has a lot of activity, with runners, bikes, and children. Responding, Mrs. Townshend indicated that the City had listed this area as one (1) of its transportation priorities with the State; however, DelDOT had indicated that they do not have funding allocated. She expressed her opinion that the City should keep pressing for this. In response to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Townshend stated that she was not aware of any other sources of income or funding to speed up transportation priorities. She indicated that all federal transportation funds that come to Delaware come through the Department of Transportation and projects are funded with both state and federal funds. Mr. Sudler asked if Staff had thought about asking Senator Brian Bushweller and Rep. Sean Lynn for assistance. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the State Bond Bill Committee and DelDOT spent a significant effort during this past legislative session looking at ways to fund transportation improvements, noting that available funding was limited and they were doing the best they can with what they have. In response to Mr. Hosfelt’s request for clarification regarding the sidewalks around Dover High School, Mrs. Townshend explained that originally there was no money for any of the sidewalk construction around the school, until approximately 12 months before it opened. Through the efforts of Senator Bushweller; Governor Markell; Anne Visalli, Director of the Office of Management and Budget; and DelDOT staff, approximately $700,000 was found to acquire easements and install sidewalks on the north side of Route 8. Without that, students from Cranberry Run, Heatherfield, Heatherfield East, and Marsh Creek would all have had to be bused to school, because there would have been no safe way for them to walk. DelDOT paid for the design, acquisition cost, and the construction of that sidewalk, as well as the construction of the HAWK signal so that the students could cross the road. Mrs. Townshend advised that a sidewalk gap study was done by the Dover/Kent County MPO which identified all the gaps, including those on the south side of Route 8. It was determined that the north side was the higher priority, because if there were sidewalks on the south side of the road, there would still be a need to bus the students across the street; therefore, the north side was done, and the south side was not. She stated that Mifflin Road was also identified as an important gap as many kids walk from the high school to the Pitts Center to play basketball and there are no sidewalks on this road. Mrs. Townshend informed members that the City had continued to emphasize that the project is not complete just because there are sidewalks on the north side. She indicated that she, along with the MPO staff, participated in a bicycle and pedestrian assessment of Route 8 with the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) more than six (6) weeks ago, and members observed students leaving the school, walking on the south side of the road, and crossing at locations other than the HAWK signal. It was her belief that the FHA would be making a report back to DelDOT about the need to improve safety in that area. In response to Mr. Sudler regarding the cost of the improvements needed at College Road, Mrs. Townshend advised that the project had not gotten to the point of an estimate. She indicated that a study conducted several years ago examined what needed to be done in a general way but never got to any type of a design, noting the difficulty of obtaining a cost estimate without a design.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 7 Responding to Mr. Sudler as to whether consideration had been given to reaching out to the Delaware State University board of trustees to see if they would be willing to donate financial resources to help initiate this exterior infrastructure improvement, Mrs. Townshend indicated that this had not been done, noting that this is a DelDOT road and this would be DelDOT’s decision. She stated that Staff could certainly make that connection and start those discussions. Mrs. Townshend noted the possibility; however, she stated that Staff’s experience had typically been that unless these types of projects are required as part of transportation improvements through a development project, the landowners prefer not to contribute. Mr. Hutchison asked if a letter had been written, signed by the Mayor and Council President, outlining the City’s concerns pertaining to the sidewalk on the south side of Route 8. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that a transportation prioritization memo was sent to the Secretary of Transportation last year and this project was detailed in the text of the memo. It was her recollection that she sent an email to the Secretary recently, but had not heard anything back, other than the previous report that DelDOT had given the City that the project was complete. Mrs. Townshend reiterated that the most recent report stated that the project on the north side was complete and DelDOT will continue to work with the City and the MPO on the other necessary fixes. She stated her belief that DelDOT realizes that while a portion is complete, the entire job is not done. Mr. Richard Hudson, 23 Freedom Drive, Bicentennial Village, expressed his concern, with respect to traffic calming at Independence Boulevard, that a few individuals were pushing for this street calming and stated the need to look at safety on that street. He indicated that there were no speed limit signs on Independence Boulevard between Forrest Avenue and Walker Road but there was a 25 mph speed limit sign coming off Walker Road. Mr. Hudson stated that, coming off Forrest Avenue, there are commercial properties on the right and left and behind that an open retention pond, noting that there is almost 1,300 feet before there is a stop sign and there are two (2) houses with small children. Mr. Hudson stated he would like to see some stop signs, perhaps children playing signs, or temporary radar signs put up before trying to block off the street. He stated that this is an arterial street with an 80-foot right-of-way, so it appeared to be a wide open street and suggested that warnings be put there. Mr. Hudson expressed his concern that the names of those put forward for the working group were three (3) individuals of a minority group and were not representative of the whole. He stated that a petition was circulated which indicated that people did not want the street blocked off. He requested that members look at the concerns of all residents, not just a select few. For clarification, Mr. Slavin stated that the calming that was being considered was exactly what Mr. Hudson had talked about and would consist of a series of signs or other measures, other than closing the road. Mr. Slavin did not believe that closing the road was being looked at, noting that DelDOT has a catalog of options to calm traffic.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 27, 2015 PAGE 8 In response to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hudson stated that he was in favor of putting up signs and warnings and against blocking the road off. He indicated that the minority group that he mentioned previously wanted to block off the road, similarly to what was done in the area of the Camden Wal-Mart. Mr. Hudson indicated that at a recent meeting, the vast majority did not want the road closed off. Mr. Hutchison moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m. James E. Hosfelt, Jr. Chairman JEH/TM/js/dd S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS-PRESENTATIONS-ATT&EXH\Committee-Minutes\2015\07-27-2015 SA&T.wpd

CORRECTION TO THE MINUTES OF THE PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 9, 2015 Review/Scoring of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Applications Mrs. Harvey advised members that funds in the amount of $304,976 had been requested and only $229,271 was available. She noted that the first three applicants (Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, Connections Community Support Program, and Nehemiah) are public service projects and are limited to $34,391 (15% of the total grant allocation). After a period of discussion, members conducted a review of each grant application and provided individual scores on the CDBG Grant Application Scoring Sheet for applicants (as on file in the Office of the City Clerk) and staff tallied the scoring sheets. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend awarding the City’s CDBG grant allocation for public service activities to Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing in the amount of $27,000 and Connections Community Support Program in the amount of $7,391, with the remaining grant allocation to be awarded as follows: 1) $6,726 to People’s Place; 2) $40,000 to Habitat for Humanity; 3) $52,892 to MHDC Homeowner Rehabilitation; 4) $35,262 to MHDC Emergency Home Repair; and 5) $60,000 to the City of Dover Homeownership Assistance Program in the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, stipulating that if the funds are not expended by January 2016, the area be expanded to the larger target area of Downtown Dover. and that priority be given to the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area as designated in the Dover Code until January 2016, with funding to be re-evaluated at that time to see if there are funds left over for the remainder of the City. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried.

Memorandum Office of the City Manager PO Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Phone: (302) 736-7005 FAX: (302) 736-7002 E-mail: skoenig@dover.de.us To: City Council Members From: Scott D. Koenig, P.E. City Manager Date: August 5, 2015 Subject: Revised Proposal for Disposition of City Owned Land – 16 South Queen Street, 18 South Queen Street & 24 North New Street During the regular City Council meeting on Monday, June 22, 2015, the Dover City Council declared all of the referenced properties as excess property and allowed the City Manager to negotiate the final sale price of both 16 & 18 South Queen Street with Habitat for Humanity (Attachment A). The final sale price on 16 & 18 South Queen Street was increased from $5,000 per lot to $6,600 per lot. In addition, the City Manager was authorized to dispose of 24 North New Street using the “Standard Method of Disposition”. While working to prepare the sealed bid package for 24 North New Street, Habitat for Humanity submitted an amended offer to purchase the property and increased their offer from $5,000 to $10,500. This offer is confirmed by a letter received on July 27, 2015 (Attachment B). The current lien amount on this property is $35,908.46 as previously indicated. The assessed land value is $11,000. Habitat for Humanity has also outlined the benefits to entering into a purchase contract with them. These benefits include long- term home ownership, expanded housing partnerships, and shared goals related to Strong Neighborhood Housing and the Restoring Central Dover Plan. Based on the amended purchase offer amount of $10,500 and the information contained in the correspondence dated July 27, 2015, the City Manager requests authorization to sell the property located at 24 North New Street to Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity without seeking additional bids. The write-off amount for this transaction will be ($35,908.46 - $10,500) $25,408.46.
