PRESENTATION - LEED GOLD CERTIFICATION - DOVER PUBLIC LIBRARY (DOUG MOSS) Ms. Margie Cyr, Director of the Dover Public Library, reminded members that when the New Public Library Steering Committee began putting together plans for the new library in 2008, it was made clear by the public that they wanted a library that was cost effective and responsible to the environment. To that end, she stated that they began the process of becoming LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified. She announced that the Dover Public Library had achieved a rating of LEED Gold Certification.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 2 Ms. Cyr introduced Mr. Douglas Moss, Chief Architect, Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture. Mr. Moss congratulated members of Council and City staff on achieving such a high honor, noting that the Certification was a substantial accomplishment for the City of Dover, as well as its citizens. He advised members that the City was able to attain the level of LEED Gold Certification because a savings of 35% was realized over a normal building the same size, as well as a 43% savings in potable water usage, and over 90% savings for water irrigation used around the building. He indicated that over 316 tons of material was diverted from the landfills due to the manner in which materials were recycled during the construction process. In addition, Mr. Moss stated that there was natural ventilation, with over 30% of outside air being used in the building. He stated that these measures, as well as several others, resulted in providing the citizens of Dover an extraordinary building that would last for 50-100 years. Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, stated that, as President of the Downtown Dover Partnership, he was proud of the new Dover Public Library since it was the biggest project that had been undertaken to help energize downtown Dover. He noted that the building had ample meeting space, which provided another opportunity to bring the community to the downtown area. Mr. Moore stated that another advantage was the geothermal well system for the building, located under the rear parking lot. Ms. Cyr presented the Mayor and Council President with the LEED Gold Certification and thanked all members of City Council for their support during the construction years of the new library. Council President Bonar stated that the new library was the largest single project that the City had undertaken, aside from the Calpine/Garrison Oak Technology Center. He advised members that he was recently advised by his neighbors that the library was one of the reasons they chose to move to Dover (from Manhattan). Mr. Bonar thanked Ms. Cyr for the work she had done in making the new library a success. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2014-18 WITH STAFF AMENDMENT #1 (SA#1) During the Regular City Council Meeting of October 13, 2014, the public hearing and final reading of Proposed Ordinance #2014-18 with Staff Amendment #1 (SA#1) was deferred in order for staff to bring an amendment forward (SA#1). Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the proposal would amend Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 24 - Planned Neighborhood Design Option (PND), Subsection 24.62 - Buffers and Article 4 - Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Sections 4.10 and 4.11 by eliminating the 40-foot buffer around the perimeter of the development and reducing the front and rear setbacks. Staff Amendment #1 would provide for retroactivity of the new provisions to previously approved developments. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments. Mr. Slavin moved that the Final Reading of the proposed zoning text amendment be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of August 25, 2014.)

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 3 Council President Bonar declared the hearing open. Mr. John Paradee, of the law firm Prickett, Jones and Elliott, P.A., 11 N. State Street, indicated his support for Proposed Ordinance #2014-18 with SA#1 and his appreciation for the work done by staff. He felt that the proposed amendments would enhance project design flexibility, which was the intent of the PND ordinance. In addition, he felt that the proposed amendments would alleviate some of the concerns that had been raised, explaining that currently property owners were prohibited from using part of their property due to the 40-foot buffer requirement and had very little incentive to maintain the property. Mr. Paradee reminded members that a substantial amount of flexibility would remain with the Planning Commission for PND projects, and particular requirements could be imposed where circumstances warrant. He stated that the setback had been too restrictive and the product that the market demands was incapable of fitting within the footprint. For these reasons, Mr. Paradee urged members of City Council to adopt the proposed ordinance. At the request of Mr. Lynn, Mr. Paradee stated that an example of a subdivision where proposed amendments would have made a difference was the Clearview Meadow Subdivision. He advised members that this project went into bankruptcy because the developer was unable to market it as it was currently designed and improved. Mr. Paradee stated that his client purchased the project out of bankruptcy and immediately ran into the same problem as the previous owners. He explained that the basic problem was that the footprint was too narrow, shallow, and restrictive to allow for flexibility in design. Mr. Paradee reminded members that the Dover Code currently required a buffer between residential and commercial properties in areas where a buffer would be appropriate. There being no one else wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Bonar declared the hearing closed. Mr. Hare moved for adoption of Staff Amendment #1 (SA#1), seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent). Mr. Hare moved for adoption of the proposed ordinance as amended by SA#1, seconded by Mr. Anderson, and by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent), Council adopted Ordinance #2014-18, as follows: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Appendix B - Zoning, Article 3 - District Regulations, Section 24 - Planned Neighborhood Design Option (PND), Subsection 24.62 - Buffers, of the Dover Code be amended by deleting it in its entirety and re-designating the remaining Subsections accordingly. BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED: That Appendix B - Zoning, Article 4 - Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Section 4.10 of the Dover Code be amended to read as follows:

ADOPTED: OCTOBER 27, 2014 PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1370 COLLEGE ROAD, OWNED BY SARAH E. JONES A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 1370 College Road, owned by Sarah E. Jones. The property consisted of a two (2) story, wood-framed, single-family home. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the structure was registered as a vacant building on November 8, 2013 and that on May 8, 2014, the property was found to be unsecured with numerous exterior and interior code violations. She noted that there had been 11 code enforcement cases since 2008 related to the property and that the utilities were terminated on July 10, 2014. On August 18, 2014, after several reinspections of the property, with no corrections being made to the code violations and no active utilities, the structure was condemned as unfit for human occupancy. Mrs. Townshend stated that the structure currently remained unoccupied, with no active utility services and in a serious state of disrepair. She indicated that $200.00 was owed for code enforcement citations against the property and $7,163.85 for delinquent property taxes on properties owned by the owner, $526.80 of which was due on this particular property.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 6 Mrs. Townshend provided a chronological history and presentation on the conditions of the house located at 1370 College Road (Exhibit #1). Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property to be repaired or demolished by November 27, 2014 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the 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 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. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend stated that a member of the owner’s family contacted City staff last week and requested additional time. Council President Bonar declared the public hearing open. Mr. Dwayne Jones, 1290 West State College Road, advised members that his mother owned the property and requested that City Council delay declaring the building dangerous. He explained that his mother had a brain aneurism a year ago, which resulted in financial difficulties. He recently contacted other family members who had agreed to assist him in making the necessary repairs to the property. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Jones requested an additional six (6) months to complete the repairs. He stated that prior to his mother becoming ill, they had begun to make repairs and noted that, as depicted in the pictures, half of the house had been gutted. He felt confident that the repairs to the interior of the structure could be completed within six (6) months. There being no one else present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Bonar declared the public hearing closed. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend stated that although there were other houses in the vicinity of this property, they were not particularly close enough to be endangered, should there be a fire at the property. She confirmed that the property had been secured and Chief Bernat stated that he was not aware of any criminal activity at this property. In response to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend reminded members that a family member had contacted staff last week and was advised that staff could not grant the request for additional time and that such approval could only be granted by City Council. Mr. Anderson moved to approve staff’s recommendation, with a proviso that the date for ordering the property repaired or demolished be March 27, 2015, with a review in two (2) months (December 27, 2014) to ensure progress is being made. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn.

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 7 Mr. Hare suggested that the owner consider making the easy fixes a priority, such as cleaning up the exterior of the property, removing trash, etc. Mr. Jones indicated his agreement in fulfilling the request. Mrs. Townshend noted that members of City Council typically cancel the second meeting in December; therefore, she suggested that the review be moved from December 27, 2014 to January 12, 2015. In response to Mr. Perza regarding staff’s recommendation, Mrs. Townshend stated that if work were started and continued to be actively made on repairing the property, staff would not take action to demolish the structure. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Townshend stated that although monies are owed to the City, since the “clean hands” ordinance was amended, the owners of a dangerous building would be able to obtain a building permit. However, they would not be permitted to obtain a rental permit. The motion to: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property to be repaired or demolished by November 27, 2014 (date revised) by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the 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 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, with a proviso that the date for ordering the property repaired or demolished be March 27, 2015 with a review in two (2) months to ensure progress is being made, was carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Lynn, Slavin, Hare, and Bonar), one (1) no (Perza), and two (2) absent (Williams and Hutchison). PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - OCTOBER 13, 2014 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on October 13, 2014 with Chairman Dixon presiding. Update - Recreation Needs Assessment Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided members with the displays that were utilized during the public workshops. She advised members that three (3) public workshops were held for the Recreation Needs Assessment and that, although no one attended the first two (2) workshops, the third workshop was well attended. Mrs. Townshend reviewed the map on display that depicted the walk and bicycle zones in the larger parks and noted that the majority of the residential areas in the City of Dover, there are recreational resources situated in close proximity to residents. She reminded members that a survey was conducted and that to date, there

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 8 have been 429 responses. She stated that Wednesday, October 15, 2014, is the last day the survey will be available for the public at which time, staff will gather the data from the survey and then develop recommendations based on that data. Mrs. Townshend stated it is her hope to have a solid draft in December to be presented to the Committee and that additional workshops be held in early January to allow for public feedback and then in February/March a final recommendation be presented for adoption. Mrs. Townshend relayed appreciation for the work provided by Ms. Carolyn Courtney, noting that she has been responsible for much of the work involved with his project, including all public relations, completion of survey, etc. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that the survey data will be combed through to determine those responses submitted by City of Dover residents and those who reside outside of the City limits. Mr. Hutchison requested that Staff provide a comprehensive breakdown of all recreation provided to include what is provided by the State of Delaware (in Kent County), Kent County, Boys and Girls Club, local churches, schools, etc. Benchmarks Established for the Economic Development Office Mr. Bill Neaton, Economic Development Director, reviewed the benchmarks and results that were established for the Economic Development Office, which includes the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), Downtown Dover Business Growth, and City-Wide Economic Development. Mr. Neaton announced that he was just recently elected the Executive Director of the DDP. At his request, Mr. Ed Perez, Downtown Coordinator, reviewed the benchmarks related to the DDP. Referring to the number of new businesses in the downtown target area, he noted that the report reflects four (4) new businesses; however, since its printing, there have been two (2) additional new businesses for a total of six (6) and eight (8) new jobs. Of the six (6) new businesses, four (4) are minority/women owned businesses. Mr. Perez referred to the strategic objective: Advance Initiatives of the Downtown Dover Partnership - Develop a recruitment strategy to attract new business to downtown with the assistance of the Recruitment Subcommittee of the Economic Development Committee. He stated that although this is an ongoing project, the DDP is a part of the Kent County “Open for Business”, which is a group of economic development network partners, such as the Small Business Administration, DDP, Economic Development Office, USDA, Delaware State University, Del Tech, Kent County Executive Director, Score, etc., with the Chamber of Commerce serving as the lead. This project gives an opportunity for individuals wishing to establish a business, to seek resources at a “one-stop shop”. To date, there have been 12

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 9 inquiries regarding a desire to open small businesses. He explained that although this does not necessarily mean that there will be 12 additional businesses, it does mean that meetings were held with 12 individuals who have a concept, and are either looking for space, financing, technical assistance in putting their business together, etc. In addition, he stated that the DDP is a part of the Kent County Network Group that established the Annual Summit. Mr. Perez stated that the DDP continues to update the marketing brochure which includes a current vacant property list and a map of the downtown district and is made available on the DDP Website. Mr. Neaton advised members that recently, he and the Mayor met with individuals interested in property in the downtown area. He had requested that the vacant property list be updated and was pleasantly surprised that there were only a few store fronts that remain available, noting that downtown Dover is beginning to revitalize. It was his feeling that this is the result of a very active Merchants Committee that is a part of the DDP. As a part of DDP’s support to NCALL, Mr. Perez assured members that information and support is continuously being provided to NCALL for the “Restoring Central Dover” initiative. The DDP is currently involved with the Positive Outcome and Strong Community Subcommittees and just completed the final phase of the plan that will be reviewed and submitted for a grant. Responding to Mr. Hutchison’s question to Mr. Perez regarding the Loockerman Exchange and the old Library location, Mayor Christiansen stated that there are two (2) possibilities for the use of the Loockerman Exchange, one (1) of which is contingent upon the State of Delaware awarding grant money to Main Street and the other is the development of upscale student housing, explaining that the owner of that property has met with individuals who are interested in such a concept. In response to Mr. Hutchison regarding E-Z Pass, Mr. Neaton stated that he is in contact with Ms. Susan Forrester-Coates who is the TransCore Manager for E-Z Pass and reported that E-Z Pass is pleased with their facility in the downtown area. He noted that there are 85 employees and that there have been no parking problems. He noted that they have relayed some security concerns; however, he assured members that he, along with the Mayor and Police Chief, will be meeting with Ms. Forester-Coats to resolve these issues. Mr. Perez advised members that since E-Z Pass moved to downtown, other businesses have seen a spike in their sales volume. Mr. Caldwell relayed his pleasure with the business growth that has occurred in the downtown area over the past year and hopes that these efforts will continue in the future.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 10 In response to Mr. Anderson regarding the 2013-2014 results in the number of businesses opened in the Downtown Target Area, Mr. Perez explained that there were 15 new businesses that were open last year and that 24 jobs were created. Of those businesses, six (6) were minority owned and 11 were women owned, and seven (7) were of the service category, three (3) were of the retail category, and one (1) restaurant. During this same reporting period, he stated that there were ten (10) businesses that closed, which resulted in a net of five (5) additional businesses in the downtown target area. He explained that of those ten (10) businesses, there were over 27 employees and that some of these businesses were in operation for over 20 years (Simon’s Bridal Shoppe, Delaware Made, For Dreamers Gallery, and W.T. Smithers). Mr. Neaton advised members that at the request of Mr. Hutchison, the Economic Development Office created a Development Incentives Awarded Report. He stated that over the last five (5) years, there have been 45 incentive packages were issued varying from facade grants to tax abatements to impact fee waivers, etc. He noted that there was concern that incentive packages were being provided and then the business would close and there would be no return to the City for providing the incentives. As reflected in the report, he stated that none of those businesses that were provided an incentive have closed, which is an indication that the incentive packages are working as planned and as such, he urged their continuation. Review of Draft Downtown Development District Application and Proposed Resolution No. 2014-13 in Support of Application for Designation as a Downtown Development District Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the Delaware General Assembly enacted the Downtown Development District Act in June 2014. She explained that under this law, the Governor will designate three (3) Downtown Development Districts in the first round of designations, one (1) from each county. Development projects within designated Districts will be eligible for a 20% rebate for project costs over $25,000. She noted that the City of Dover is well positioned to submit a successful application for Downtown Development District designation, since the City has several redevelopment incentives in place. In addition, the City has two (2) master plan documents: The Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design Book; and Restoring Central Dover, that complement each other in support of revitalizing the downtown. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that staff had previously submitted the proposed District boundary and some proposed incentives that would be enacted if the City is designated as a Downtown Development District. She noted that the Downtown Development District application is due on November 1, 2014 and that although a draft application was provided to members for their review, staff will continue to refine the application prior to its presentation to City Council for approval during their Regular Meeting of October 27, 2014.

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 11 Mrs. Townshend explained that there are three (3) components of the application for designation as a District, as follows: 1) the need and impact of the District designation, accounting for 50% of the consideration given to scoring each application; 2) the quality of the District Plan, accounting for 30% of the consideration given to scoring each application; and 3) the quality of the local incentives offered, accounting for 20% of the consideration given to scoring each application. Mrs. Townshend briefly reviewed the application as well as the numerous attachments that will be submitted. She distributed Attachment #2 of the application - Documentation of Need and Impact (Photographs) which was not included in the packet submitted to the committee, which will also be made a part of the Downtown Development District Application. Although Attachment #5 of the application - Letters of Support also was not included in the packet, she advised members that several letters have been received and that additional letters are anticipated, assuring members that they will be included in the presentation to City Council on October 27, 2014. Mrs. Townshend explained that once the application is submitted, the City will be bound to its contents. As an example, she explained that if the City includes an incentive that would provide a business license fee waiver for new businesses for three (3) years, the City cannot make any change to this incentive. She stated that if a Downtown Development District is designated for the City, and the City does not comply with the plan and does not follow through on incentives, the designation can be rescinded. Therefore, she stated that this application will result in a commitment from the City of Dover and require Code amendments. Members were provided Proposed Resolution No. 2014-13 for their review and recommendation. Mrs. Townshend advised members that such a Resolution is required to be submitted with the application that indicates the local government’s desire to apply for the designation as a District, and the local government’s willingness to adhere to the District Plan and the Local Incentives for the duration of the District designation. Staff recommended endorsement of the Draft Downtown Development District application, acknowledging that staff will continue to refine the application prior to final presentation to City Council, and adoption of Resolution No. 2014-13 as submitted. Mr. Hutchison relayed his support for the application and the desire to address home ownership, which he has been concerned for several years. He felt that the designation will help in this regard. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that there are partners that will also help such as Habitat for Humanity, Dover Housing Authority, etc. She also noted that with the CDBG Program, the proposed Consolidated Plan would allow, for purchases within the Downtown Development

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 12 District, down payment assistance and rehabilitation, explaining that a new property owner wishing to purchase property could obtain down payment assistance as well as rehabilitation funds from the City, noting that several properties in the area are in need of maintenance. Mr. Anderson thanked Staff for the work conducted on the project and Chairman Dixon for championing the Wells Fargo Grant, noting that the $90,000 has been helpful and an enormous value to the City. Noting that the designation will require the adoption of ordinances and that staff proposes their consideration in the Spring of 2015, he questioned if members would be committed to the language contained in the draft ordinances. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the proposed Resolution is what is required to be adopted by City Council on October 27, 2014; however, in terms of any proposed ordinances, which are primarily related to the incentives, she stated that it is hoped to have them in place by the Spring of 2015. In order to do so, she stated that staff will begin drafting the proposed ordinances once the application is submitted and expects that they will be presented to members for their review and recommendation beginning in January 2015. In response to Mr. Anderson regarding the backlog in housing rehabilitation due to the decline in federal support, Mrs. Townshend stated that the City could provide some assistance in this matter through the rebates available through the Downtown Development District Program, although the first $25,000 would be out of pocket. She stated that other alternatives would be from the next phase of the Wells Fargo Foundation since housing rehabilitation is under funded. It is anticipated that the Steering Committee will continue under the leadership of NCALL and that the next grant application would provide funds for housing rehabilitation. She also noted that within the Restoring Central Dover Plan, there are different plans such as a volunteer based repair programs that have been successful in other locations and that Milford Housing has indicated an interest to work with the City on this a program. As a result, she felt confident that with the implementation of Restoring Central Dover, there will be other resources the City can investigate, explaining that the rebate provided under the Downtown Development District Program is only one of those resources. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that it is anticipated that the Restoring Central Dover Plan will be finalized within the next two (2) months, noting that a draft was just recently submitted. Mrs. Horsey noted that according to Map #2B - Downtown Development District with the Land Development Plan per the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, there is a lot of mixed use within those boundaries and questioned if it would be desirable. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained that Map #2B reflects the adopted Comprehensive Plan. She stated that Staff anticipates some degree of flexibility in zoning so that the strong residential area does show as medium density residential

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 13 and the areas where there are a mix of uses. She felt as more planning has been done in the downtown area and as the Comprehensive Plan is updated, this area will be reviewed to determine the best way to move forward. Mrs. Townshend relayed her appreciation for those employees who have assisted in bringing this matter forward, Mr. Bill Cook, Planner I, and Mr. Jeremy Gibb, GIS Technician, who had dedicated a lot of their time to this project. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation for the endorsement of the Draft Downtown Development District application, acknowledging that staff will continue to refine the application prior to its final presentation to City Council and adoption of Resolution No. 2014-13, as submitted. [Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mrs. Townshend submitted a revised Downtown Development District application for presentation to City Council during the regular meeting of October 27, 2014]. During the City Council meeting of October 27, 2014, Mrs. Townshend noted that a revised application had been provided to members as an attachment to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report. As mentioned during the Committee meeting, staff had since obtained letters of support and completed refining the application. She reminded members that the Delaware Downtown Development District Program initiative was adopted by the State of Delaware and would allow the Governor to designate three (3) Downtown Development Districts in the first year of the program and that $7M was allocated in the State’s approved budget for the current fiscal year for incentives within the designated downtown development districts. The City would be competing with other municipalities in Kent County, since there would be one (1) designated district from each county. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that there were three (3) components of the application for designation as a District and briefly reviewed the City’s application contents. Noting that the demonstrated need and impact of the District designation would account for 50% of the consideration given to scoring each application, she stated that demographic information, crime data, vacant and dangerous buildings, vacant lots, etc. was considered, along with the impact that could be realized. She explained that the City’s partnership with the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) would prove beneficial, as well as the City’s relationship with the National Council on Life and Labor Research (NCALL), who was leading the Restoring Central Dover Plan, which was being funded through the Wells Fargo Foundation. She felt confident that the City demonstrated both the need and impact. Mrs. Townshend noted that the quality of the District Plan would account for 30% of the consideration given to scoring each application. The City had included two (2) planning documents: 1) Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design Book, which was completed in 2011 and used as the basis for North Street improvements that were completed during the past year; and 2) Restoring Central Dover Plan - Vision for Vitality, which was the Plan resulting from a Wells Fargo Foundation Grant to NCALL, explaining that the City participated in assisting to fund

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 14 that grant. She advised members that the Restoring Central Dover Plan was in its final draft form, the steering committee had been very active, and NCALL had been a great leader, which had resulted in a lot of momentum coming from this process into the implementation phase. Mrs. Townshend stated that, last week, NCALL, on behalf of the steering committee, submitted an application to the Wells Fargo Foundation for a $750,000 implementation grant. If the City were successful in obtaining the Downtown Development District designation, she stated that the Wells Fargo Foundation grant would further leverage the funding that would come into the City. Mrs. Townshend noted that the quality of the local incentives would account for 20% of the consideration given to scoring each application. She advised members that the application included the incentives currently offered by the City, such as the building permit waivers, impact fee waivers, and tax abatement on the value of improvement for a period of ten (10) years. In addition, she stated that the City had several residential incentives, including a tax waiver for owner-occupied residential uses, as well as a first-time homebuyer real estate transfer tax exemption and transfer tax abatement to the sellers of property being sold to owners who will be occupying the home. She noted that these incentives were currently offered only for those properties within a defined area and, under the Downtown Development District Program, the City would consider expansion to properties within the entire district boundary. As added incentives, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff would draft ordinances proposing to waive business license fees for new businesses for a period of three (3) years and an ordinance that would allow for a rebate of 50% of the real estate transfer tax for properties that are sold and then developed, which would be made available upon Certificate of Occupancy. In addition to these incentives offered by the City, she explained that the DDP would provide some architectural services for businesses coming into an existing tenant space that had code issues. Mrs. Townshend thanked Mr. Bill Cook, Planner I, and Mr. Jeremy Gibb, GIS Technician, for their work on this project, specifically the mapping, data gathering, and demographics. She noted that the application was due during the current week and stated her hope for endorsement of the application and adoption of Resolution No. 2014-13 by City Council. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend stated that since only one (1) municipality from each county would be awarded the designation, there was a possibility that another town could receive it; however, she noted that the City could re-apply the following year. She advised members that if the City were awarded the designation, it would not receive monies directly, explaining that the designation would allow for a developer, building, or property owner to apply to the State for a rebate of up to 20% of development costs. Being optimistic, she stated staff’s plan would be to prepare draft ordinances to present to the appropriate committee in late January 2015. By the time the ordinance would be presented to Council for final action, she stated that the City would know whether or not the designation was awarded to the City. Even if the designation were not awarded to the City, Mrs. Townshend suggested that there may be a desire to move forward with adoption of the ordinances, since they could help to spur business growth and redevelopment in the downtown area.

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 15 Mr. Lynn moved to approve the Committee’s recommendation for the endorsement of the Draft Downtown Development District application, acknowledging that staff continued to refine the application prior to its final presentation to City Council, and adoption of Resolution No. 2014-13 as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin. Mr. Anderson thanked staff for the tremendous job done on this application and relayed confidence in the City receiving the designation. Regardless of such designation, he felt that the details and plans would be good for the City and that the City should continue to move forward in making improvements for the residents of Dover, as well as the business community. Council President Bonar stated he was an advocate for the City receiving monies from the State, noting that often times such funds are provided to areas in New Castle and Sussex Counties. The motion to approve the Committee’s recommendation was carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent) and Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-13, as follows: A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION AS A DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WHEREAS, under the Downtown Development Districts Act, 22 Del.C. §§ 1901 et seq. (the "Act"), the State of Delaware may designate districts within Delaware's cities, towns, and unincorporated areas that will qualify for significant development incentives and other State benefits; and WHEREAS, these districts are known as Downtown Development Districts ("Districts"); and WHEREAS, the State is accepting applications for the designation of the initial round of Districts, with such applications being due on November 1, 2014; and WHEREAS, under the Act, each applicant must submit a plan that includes the boundaries of, and a detailed planning and development strategy for, the proposed District (the "District Plan"); and WHEREAS, under the Act, each applicant must also propose incentives that address local economic and community conditions, and that will help achieve the purposes set forth in the Act (the "Local Incentives"); and WHEREAS, if an application is successful and the City receives District designation, the District Plan and Local Incentives proposed by an applicant shall be binding upon the applicant; and WHEREAS, the incentives associated with designation as a Downtown Development District would greatly benefit current and future residents, businesses, non-profit organizations, and others within the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dover strongly believes that it is in the best interest of the City of Dover to apply for District designation.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 16 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 1. The City Council supports the Application for Designation as a Downtown Development District prepared by the Dover Planning Office and dated October 27, 2014 (the "Application"); and 2. The City of Dover is authorized to appoint a District administrator (the "Administrator") to file the Application on behalf of the City, and to provide such other documents and information as may be necessary or desirable in connection with the Application; and 3. If the Application is successful and the City of Dover receives notice that it has been selected for designation as a District: a. The City shall adhere to the District Plan and the Local Incentives contained in the Application for the duration of the District designation; and b. The Administrator, or his or her designee(s), is authorized to execute such documents and enter into such agreements as may be necessary or desirable in connection with the Downtown Development Districts program and the rights and obligations of the City of Dover thereunder; and c. The Administrator, or his or her designee(s), is authorized to carry out all District administrative and reporting requirements on behalf of the City of Dover for the duration of the District. ADOPTED: OCTOBER 27, 2014 Mr. Lynn moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - OCTOBER 13, 2014 The Utility Committee met on October 13, 2014 with Chairwoman Williams presiding. Tudor Pump Station - Acceptance and Dedication of Infrastructure Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the Tudor Industrial Park was constructed during the 1990s. Since that time, all City Managers (including James O'Connor, Anthony DePrima and Scott Koenig) were willing to present the associated private wastewater pump station to City Council for dedication as long as minimum upgrades were made by the owner to meet current City of Dover requirements. Mr. Koenig informed members that the owner completed the upgrade requirements to the subject station, which provides wastewater service for multiple buildings within and immediately adjacent to the Tudor Industrial Park. Mr. Koenig advised members that the current station was not compatible with the City of Dover's Wastewater System Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, which notifies the City’s 24/7 Systems Operations Center when problems with a station arise. Instead, he explained, this pump station had a beacon light which flashes when there is a problem with the station. If the light is on, anyone

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 17 from the neighboring communities can contact the Systems Operations Center and report the situation. This same protocol exists at another pump station located on Maureen Place in the Wild Meadows development. He stated that an easement had been drafted, as well as a good faith agreement with the property owners to contact the City if they observe the beacon light flashing. Mr. Koenig indicated that the estimated value of the pump station was $43,000 and it would become a part of the City’s inventory upon its acceptance and dedication. Staff recommended that City Council accept the dedication of the Tudor Pump Station to allow the City of Dover Department of Public Works to take on all operation and maintenance responsibilities in an effort to protect and maintain the safety, health, and welfare of the public in this area. However, Mr. Koenig stated that the City of Dover would not accept responsibility of the gravity wastewater system internal to the site, as that infrastructure would remain the responsibility of the property owner. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig assured members that the City had conducted an inspection of the pump station and found it to be adequate for dedication. The Committee recommended the acceptance and dedication of the Tudor Pump Station to allow the City of Dover Department of Public Works to take on all operation and maintenance responsibilities (excluding the gravity wastewater system internal to the site, as that infrastructure will remain the responsibility of the property owner) in an effort to protect and maintain the safety, health, and welfare of the public in this area, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent). TEA/NAES Report (July and August) The TEA/NAES Monthly Reports for July and August 2014 were 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. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, referred to Page 12 of the August report, and noted that it provided a year-to-date summary. Thus far, he stated that the City was $1M positive for operations. He explained that the load had been lower since it had been a cool year, resulting in lower costs as well as lower revenues. During the summer, there were several opportunities for Units 1, 2, and 3 to run; therefore, the generation revenues were higher than budgeted. As a result of the cool weather this year, he stressed the importance of monitoring revenues, explaining that although the City’s expenses were reduced, a certain amount of revenues is necessary to maintain percentages and budgets.

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 18 Referring to Pages 8 and 9 of the August Report, Mr. Blakeman noted the City wrote off $13,825 of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC) by retiring them and that there is only one (1) viable market located in Philadelphia. He questioned if it was required for the credits to be sold at the current rate or if they could be sold at a discount. Responding, Mr. Koenig indicated that, although he did not know the answer to that specific question, the City was acting on the advice of both The Energy Authority (TEA) and Mr. Harry Maloney, City of Dover Electric Director. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that although the City had generated more electricity than planned, there had not been any associated increase in maintenance costs; however, it had been necessary to buy fuel oil. Mr. Koenig explained that as a result of the previous severe winter, PJM had issued new requirements and the City had to increase the fuel oil levels at McKee Run, at a cost of approximately $750,000, to meet reserve requirements for running on fuel oil. He stated that staff had concerns and, after discussions with TEA, the offer price of Units 1, 2, and 3 had been changed earlier in the year with the intent they would run more often, with the assurance that this would not cause higher maintenance costs. Mr. Koenig advised members that this had held true to date and the City was still anticipating the retirement of Units 1 and 2. He noted that staff was very conscious of those units running due to potential concerns of any expenses that would result from unplanned required maintenance, or taking the risk of not doing the maintenance. He stated that these issues are discussed monthly at the staff level and include discussions with TEA. Mr. Koenig reminded members that a decision was made to take Units 1 and 2 out in Power Year 2018, which would result in 34 megawatts of capacity that must be replaced, and it had not yet been determined how this would occur. The power purchase agreement being discussed with Calpine, if it comes to fruition as intended, could replace the 34 megawatts and provide additional capacity. He advised members that other options were being evaluated, such as building some type of combustion turbine that would replace that power or potentially partnering with the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) or others to build generation. Mr. Blakeman requested that an asterisk be placed next to those items on the PJM invoice that make up the PJM credit or that these items be somehow highlighted, noting that he was having difficulty determining this. The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Reports for July and August 2014. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent).

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 19 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent). QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT Members were provided the Revenue Report as of September 2014. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of September 2014, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent). SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION BY CITY MANAGER - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY In accordance with Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection, Article II - Fire Department, Section 46-43 of the City Code, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, met with the Fire Chief to discuss fire company issues. He discovered that the equipment and facilities were being maintained in excellent condition. The following points were noted during the on-site visit: 1) As a follow-up to the last inspection of Station #1 in October 2013, the Chief indicated there were no problems to report related to the asphalt parking lot, the building structure or vehicles associated with Station #1. There was some minor discussion about private vehicles parking in the lot area adjacent to Bradford Street for extended periods of time; however, no action is necessary at this time. 2) The Chief and City Manager reviewed the various types of response calls identified on the monthly report so the City Manager has a better understanding of the types of calls to which personnel are responding. 3) The City Manager reiterated the request to create electronic files of the maintenance records for each vehicle in the inventory and store those files and the associated summary spreadsheets in the Fortis system so they can be reviewed by city staff and are readily available for future considerations of vehicle replacements. The City Manager spoke with the Fire Chief’s Assistant, Mr. Patrick Smith, several days prior to the inspection regarding the same request. 4) The Fire Chief will include a summary report regarding type of alarm and attendance in future monthly reports. A copy of the type of information requested was provided to members for reference purposes. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the report of the Semi-Annual Robbins Hose Company Inspection, as submitted by the City Manager, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 20 TENTATIVE LABOR CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES (AFSCME) Mr. Glenn Mandalas, Baird, Mandalas, Brockstedt, LLC (City attorney for contract negotiations), advised members that for more than a year, he had been negotiating the first labor agreement with the American Federal of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), representing approximately 40 employees of the City of Dover. On July 30, 2014, the Union ratified an initial version of the labor agreement, which was then presented to City Council and rejected during their Regular Meeting of September 8, 2014. Mr. Mandalas stated that, based on the comments made during that meeting, a subsequent meeting was jointly requested by the Union and the City with the Executive Director of the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), Ms. Deborah Murray-Sheppard, in an effort to gain thoughts and ideas as to how to move forward in finalizing the agreement. As a result, Mr. Mandalas presented revisions to the labor contract and noted that AFSCME had not ratified the amendments; therefore, if approved by City Council, the amended agreement would still need to be presented to the Union for their approval. Noting that Members of City Council were provided a summary of the major framework of the agreement during their Regular Meeting of September 8, 2014, Mr. Mandalas reviewed only those issues with which City Council had concerns. He reminded members that the contract provided a two (2) year-window for employees to decide if they wanted to retire with 100% health care, as had been provided before the City implemented the 15% cost-sharing in health care premiums, and that there were concerns regarding the length of that window. As a result, he stated that the agreement had been revised to provide for a 30-day period occurring at the end of the fiscal year (between June 1, 2015 and June 30, 2015). Mr. Mandalas stated that Members of City Council had also relayed concern with base salary adjustments for three (3) job classifications to be implemented July 1, 2014 and a second adjustment on July 1, 2015. He stated that the agreement had been revised to eliminate the July 1, 2015 adjustment, resulting in only one (1) adjustment to be effective July 1, 2014. In addition, he stated that it had been agreed to have those three (3) job classifications reviewed through the City’s standard review process to determine if those salaries were appropriate or if adjustments should be made. Referring to the 30-day time period provided for individuals to decide to retire and remain eligible for 100% health care, Mr. Hare felt that it would make more sense for that period to run from the current date through June 30, 2015. As an example, he stated that if an employee wished to retire in March, they would not be required to wait until June in order to receive the 100% health care. Responding, Mr. Mandalas felt that the Union would support this proposal since it would provide more opportunity rather than less, noting that the period would run from the date the agreement was approved through June 30, 2015. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the revised contract with an amendment that would provide a window of opportunity from the date the agreement is approved through June 30, 2015 for individuals to decide if they want to retire with 100% health care. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson.

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 21 Mr. Anderson stated that although he continued to have concerns regarding the April 1, 2014 retroactive salary increases, he felt that the revised contract was probably the best that could be agreed upon at this time; therefore, he stated that he would reluctantly vote yes. Mr. Slavin stated that he, too, would vote yes, noting that often individuals are criticized for being “penny wise and pound foolish” by looking for early and easy savings while leaving debt for future generations. He felt that the contract had been negotiated by balancing costs and savings. Mr. Perza reminded members that simply because the PERB had indicated their support of the revised contract it did not mean it was the best deal for the City of Dover. The motion to approve the revised contract, with an amendment that would provide a window of opportunity for individuals to decide if they want to retire with 100% health care was carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Slavin, Hare, and Bonar), one (1) no (Perza), one (1) abstention (Lynn), and two (2) absent (Williams and Hutchison). APPOINTMENT OF JUDGES - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY ELECTION - NOVEMBER 17, 2014 The Robbins Hose Company election is scheduled for November 17, 2014. The following persons have been recommended to serve as judges for the election: 1. James Howlett 2. James Hurley, Jr. 3. William H. Hurley IV (alternate) Mr. Hare moved for approval of the appointment of judges for the Robbins Hose Company election as recommended, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent). APPOINTMENTS RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN Mayor Robin R. Christiansen requested approval of the following appointments: Awards Committee Ronald R. Gough (to fill expired term of Mary Skelton) Election Board Curtis E. Raymond (Third District) (to fill unexpired term of John J. Davis - Term to Expire May 2016) M. Milford Caldwell (Fourth District) (to fill unexpired term of Lillie Mae Johnson - Term to Expire May 2016) By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the appointments as recommended by Mayor Christiansen, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent). FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2014-23 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 603 WEST DIVISION STREET A request was received to rezone properties located at 603 West Division Street, consisting of two (2) parcels (16,538+/- S.F. and 14,465+/- S.F.), owned by West Division Holdings, LLC. The property

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 22 is currently zoned M (Manufacturing), subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is C-3 (Service Commercial), subject to the COZ-1. (TAX PARCEL: ED-05-076.08-01- 19.00-000 AND ED-05-076.08-01-19.01-000, FOURTH COUNCIL DISTRICT; PLANNING REFERENCE: Z-14-03). Prior to amending the zoning ordinances and zoning map of the City of Dover, a public hearing is required. Staff recommended referral to the Planning Commission on November 17, 2014 and that a Public Hearing be set for December 8, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning classification. Mr. Hare moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to refer the request to the Planning Commission on November 17, 2014 and set a public hearing for December 8, 2014, at 7:30 p.m., seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF TWO (2) PARCELS OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 603 WEST DIVISION STREET FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2014-22 - BUDGET AMENDMENT RELATED TO CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN - FISCAL YEAR 2014 (FY14) CARRY-FORWARD BALANCES Members were provided Proposed Ordinance #2014-22 - Budget Amendment related to Capital Investment Plan for Fiscal Year 2014 carry forward balances. The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2014-22 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 13, 2014. Mr. Slavin moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2014-22 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reminded members that the purpose of Proposed Ordinance #2014-22 was to adjust the budgets for the projects that were not completed during FY2014. The budget balances had been calculated, and the ordinance would adjust the FY2015 budget to bring those budget balances forward so that the projects could be completed with the budget in place. In response to the concern mentioned during the Regular Council Meeting of October 13, 2014 regarding the $104,000 transfer from the Parkland Reserve Fund, she advised members that the transfer was to carry forward $65,000 for the John W. Pitts Recreation Center HVAC Project from FY2014 plus an additional $39,000 that was approved by Council in FY2014 after this project was re-bid to include both labor and equipment. Mr. Hare moved for adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2014-22, seconded by Mr. Anderson and, by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams and Hutchison absent), Council adopted Ordinance #2014-22 (Exhibit #2).

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on October 27, 2014 at 5:15 p.m. with Councilman Perza presiding in the absence of Chairwoman Williams. Members present were Mr. Slavin, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Councilman Dixon (arrived at 5:22 p.m.) and Mayor Christiansen were also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Blakeman moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Disposition of Public Infrastructure to Kent County - Central Transmission Bypass North Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the Kent County Department of Public Works recently notified the City that on July 16, 2014, a rupture surfaced in the 24-inch concrete sewer force main (Kent County Central Transmission Main), causing a sanitary sewer overflow in the center of Route 13 in front of C.F. Schwartz. The root cause was corrosion of the pipe crown due to high hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the wastewater. He explained that during a routine re-routing procedure, there was a slight pressure increase and, due to the thinned pipe wall, a failure was triggered. Mr. Koenig stated that this failure occurred on one (1) of the few remaining sections of the Kent County transmission system, from Smyrna to the wastewater treatment plant in Frederica, that does not have a redundant pipeline or bypass capability. Mr. Koenig indicated that the failure had been temporarily repaired and, in order to complete a permanent repair, the flow must be re-routed to allow for the installation of a pipe liner. He stated that engineers from both Kent County and the City of Dover had been working in concert to develop a bypass system for this portion of the infrastructure. Mr. Koenig noted that the project had been authorized by Kent County Levy Court and was currently being fast tracked due to the related urgency. Knowing that the City’s budget did not include any expenditure for an upgrade of the infrastructure, Mr. Koenig stated that Kent County had agreed to pay all the costs associated with the upgrade; however, he explained that portions of the City’s existing infrastructure, and all associated easements, must be disposed of by the City, with ownership transferred to the County. He reviewed a map depicting the infrastructure to be transferred and noted that the estimated replacement value of the referenced infrastructure was $770,000. Mr. Koenig stated that the County would assume ownership and maintenance responsibility of the new bypass force main from County Pump Station No. 2 to Crawford Carroll Avenue. Once the project is completed, Mr. Koenig stated that Kent County would be able to pump from Station No. 2, located on the north side of Denneys Road, through the bypass loop into the US 13 Interceptor Sewer; transfer down to US 13 East Pump Station (the Dover Downs Pump Station); and allow for entry into the East Dover Bypass system through that pump station. This would provide relief off the line in US 13, allow for completion of the permanent repairs of that infrastructure, and provide a redundant backup for future problems, should they arise. He explained that the line in US 13 was aging and subject to additional breaks in the future unless permanent repairs were made. Since the central transmission main down US 13 is critical to the functions of City of Dover, Mr. Koenig stated that staff felt that the disposition of the public infrastructure would be a good way for the City to partner with Kent County to improve the transmission system through the heart of Dover and for areas north of the City.

Page 54

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 2 As a part of the disposition process, Mr. Koenig stated that although the replacement value of the referenced infrastructure was estimated at $770,000, it would be necessary for staff to determine the actual values; therefore, staff was in the process of reviewing construction contracts involved with the McKee Run Pump Station. He stated that if the assets were not fully depreciated, it would be necessary to recognize the value in the transfer. Staff recommended disposal of the referenced public infrastructure, and all easements necessary for the perpetual maintenance thereof, associated with the County’s Central Transmission Bypass North project, to Kent County. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that the City would not receive any money for the disposition of the public infrastructure to Kent County. He explained that, although the City would be abandoning the maintenance responsibilities of the infrastructure, it would be utilized by Kent County in the future, once the upgrades are completed. Mr. Koenig indicated that the pump stations would continue to be owned by the City. In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that he felt confident that there would be no future negative consequences resulting from the proposed transfer. He stated that the McKee Run Pump Station was designed to handle flow for the area and that the 16-inch force main was the channel from the City’s pumping infrastructure into the County’s system; therefore, the project would meet the overall conceptual designs that had been discussed with Kent County in the past. Unless there was some significant change in the system, he did not anticipate the transfer of the assets causing the City any additional costs. Mr. Koenig stated that the only costs for the City in regard to the transfer would be any depreciation costs associated with the infrastructure. Elaborating, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that the original project consisted of approximately 5,000 linear feet, which would need to be “written off” by the City. Although this would not go against the budgetary basis of accounting, she stated that it would affect the GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis of accounting, explaining that the amount would be reflected as an expense on the income statement. Mrs. Mitchell assured members that the exact amounts would be made available when the Committee’s recommendation is considered by City Council. Although she felt confident that the City’s debt covenants would not be impacted by writing the assets off, she stated that she would confirm this prior to the next Council Meeting. [City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the book value of the Mudstone Branch project that would be written off with the transfer to Kent County amounted to $64,400, and there would be no negative impact on the City’s debt covenants.] Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend disposal of the referenced public infrastructure, and all easements necessary for the perpetual maintenance thereof, associated with the County's Central Transmission Bypass North project, to Kent County, as recommended by staff, subject to the final review of the undepreciated amount. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. For clarification, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the amount to be written off would be the undepreciated value, which would be the leftover remaining balance of the assets.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 3 Dedication of Private Walkway as a Public Walkway - Village of Westover - Mifflin Road to Trafalgar Drive Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that as part of the approved subdivision plan for the Village of Westover, the City of Dover required the construction of a private sidewalk connection from Trafalgar Drive (located on the east side of the Village of Westover) to Mifflin Road to guarantee the pedestrian interconnection of the existing developments in this area and the newly constructed Village of Westover Subdivision. Prior to the construction of the new Dover High School, this sidewalk connection primarily served as a connection for the residents of the Village of Westover and the Village of Cannon Mill to access local businesses in the vicinity of Route 8. The Village of Westover Homeowner’s Association had inquired for a number of years about dedicating this walkway for public maintenance; however, staff had previously not favored such a dedication. Mr. Koenig noted that, with the construction of the new Dover High School, the pedestrian patterns had changed, explaining that this walkway now represented a safe path to the new Dover High School and related facilities, so the “public” interest with respect to this walkway had changed. He noted receipt of a letter from Representative Darryl Scott requesting consideration of the public dedication of this walkway. Mr. Koenig indicated support for the reconsideration of the dedication and, based upon the current and projected use of the walkway, he had no objections to its dedication as public walkway. He explained that the walkway would potentially serve as a walking path from Woodmill Apartments, Deerfield Subdivision, and other areas to the east. Mr. Koenig stated that the dedication may require the City to sign a blanket easement used by the Community Transportation Fund Program in order to obtain documentation identifying that this sidewalk could qualify for community transportation funds if repairs or other work become necessary in the future. Mr. Koenig reviewed a map depicting the walkway to be dedicated as public, from Trafalgar Drive to Mifflin Road. He advised members that the estimated maintenance cost of the walkway is $1,000 per year, including costs associated with winter maintenance. In addition, Mr. Koenig stated that the existing private walkway was approximately 770 linear feet long and six (6) feet in width; therefore, the estimated value of the dedication was $23,100.00 (770 l.f. x 6 ft. x $5.00 per square foot). He stated that the walkway had been privately maintained since its construction (dating back to 1996/1997) and the City had received occasional complaints regarding overgrowth and lighting issues associated with the walkway. Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of the existing concrete walkway and that the City Manager be authorized to execute any documents necessary to ensure that public funds could be used for future maintenance on the dedicated walkway. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig indicated the need for additional improvements to the sidewalk network on Mifflin Road. Currently, there were no planned improvements, other than the dedication of the walkway. In addition, he stated that there was a need for sidewalk improvements on the south side of Route 8 from the new Dover High School property east to Mifflin Road. Mr. Blakeman noted that the State had sent notices regarding plans to make improvements to the

Page 56

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 4 sidewalk along Route 8. Mr. Koenig stated that the State had a program called “Safe Route to Schools” and since Mifflin Road is a State right-of-way the City would not incur any burden for such improvements; however, the City may advocate for the right-of-way. In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig felt that the City would not have any more liability if dedication were accepted than the City had at the present time. Mr. Slavin stated his observation that students were using the safe walkways as designed, and expressed his amazement at the number of students who walk to school. He felt that any additional improvements would only prove to be helpful. Mr. Koenig confirmed that the dedication would be in the best interest of the students. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend acceptance of the dedication of the existing concrete walkway and authorizing the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to ensure public funds can be used for future maintenance on the dedicated walkway, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Mr. Blakeman moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:33 p.m. Adam M.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on October 27, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Slavin presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:02 p.m.), Mr. Hare, and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Sudler was absent. Councilman Dixon and Mayor Christiansen were also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Discussion - Responsibilities and Reporting Structure for the Mayor and City Manager and Continuation of Full-Time Status for the Position of Mayor During the Regular City Council Meeting of September 22, 2014, members approved the Committee’s recommendation for future consideration of Option A, as follows: 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. Members of City Council also approved the Committee’s recommendation that the Council President open a dialogue with the parties to the 1988 Consent Decree. In the absence of Mr. Hutchison, who had been the lead on this issue, Mr. Slavin stated that based on previous action, members were reviewing possible alternatives related to the responsibilities and reporting structure for the mayor and city manager. He noted that a recommendation was made for consideration and indicated his hope that there would be more recommendations for discussion. The general timeframe was to accept ideas through the end of the calendar year, and in 2015 Council would decide which ideas would be brought forward for final action. In addition, Mr. Slavin reiterated that City Council requested the Council President, along with Mr. Hutchison, to meet with the NAACP to discuss the 1988 Consent Decree between the City and the NAACP and what effect it may or may not have on the City’s form of government. Mr. Slavin stated that he had requested the City Clerk’s Office to create an organizational chart for Option A, as well as any future recommendations. Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that prior to making any determination regarding a full-time or part-time mayor, members must determine the form of government. If a council-manager form of government were decided upon, he felt there was no need for a full-time mayor. If a strong mayor form of government were chosen, he stated that the City should continue with a full-time mayor who would serve as the president of Council and preside at the Council meetings, explaining his feeling that both a mayor and Council president were not necessary. Should the City continue with a council-manager form of government, he felt that the mayor should serve on a part-time basis. Mayor Christiansen stated that he did not want to be seen as “self-serving” and, although he agreed with some of the comments made by Mr. Hare, he stated that Dover is a full-time City that needs a full-time mayor. He felt that placing the mayor back in the Council Chambers would create an issue in regard to the 1988 Consent Decree. In addition, he relayed concerns with the mayor being made

Page 58

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 2 a part of Council’s deliberations, explaining his feeling that City Council should serve as the legislative body and the mayor should be chief executive officer of the City and work in concert with the city manager and City staff. He indicated that this working relationship had proven to be beneficial to him, as the mayor. Mayor Christiansen stressed the importance for the mayor to remain out of the legislative process and maintain the power of veto in order to protect the general public and afford them a stopgap against a “runaway” Council. He also requested the opportunity to present a proposal for members of Council to consider. He assured members that he was not looking for a job but rather to do the job of the mayor. Mayor Christiansen expressed his opinion that regardless of who was elected to serve as mayor, the City of Dover needed a full-time mayor with full-time responsibilities. Mr. Thomas Leary (former member of City Council), 27 Shinnecock Road, questioned the genesis of the discussion, why this matter was being considered, and if something was “broke.” Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that this matter had been a continuing agenda item in the hopes that members would be given options to consider and present to City Council. Elaborating, Mr. Hare recalled that Mr. Leary was serving as a member of City Council at the time the mayor’s position was changed from part-time to full-time. At that time, he explained, the mayor was given specific duties, such as being in charge of economic development, public relations, lobbying the legislators, etc., all of which had since been removed from his responsibilities. Since the mayor no longer had these responsibilities, it had been suggested that there was no longer a need for the mayor to serve full-time. Mr. Leary suggested that members should decide whether the council-manager form of government, which had been the most effective for municipalities for a long time, still applied for the City. He questioned if members were reacting to recent personalities of those who had served as mayor. Mr. Hare stated no objections to the City maintaining a council-manager form of government. After conducting research through the National League of Cities, he stated that the only municipalities with a full-time mayor had populations in excess of 40,000. Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that if the City of Dover would be the exception and maintain a full-time mayor, then the position should have full-time job responsibilities. Mr. Leary reiterated his feeling that the City’s current form of government was sound, although there may be a need to review salary and job responsibilities for possible adjustments as deemed necessary. However, he encouraged members not to make any changes that would require the mayor to preside over Council meetings. In addition, it was his feeling that the NAACP would have no desire to discuss any change to the Consent Decree. Mr. Anderson expressed misgivings in regard to having a mayor preside over Council meetings, particularly since the mayor is not elected based on such abilities. He also questioned how this would affect the inner workings of the legislative committees in relation to appointments, chairmanships, etc. Responding, Mr. Leary stated his objections to this arrangement based on past

Page 59

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 2014 PAGE 3 experience, since it would provide one (1) individual with a lot of power. He indicated that prior to his service on Council, there was a time when the mayor presided over Council meetings and had a lot of power over City Council, which proved not to be beneficial for the City. Mr. Hare stated that if the City wished to maintain a full-time mayor, then City Council should develop job responsibilities for the mayor. Responding, Mr. Leary reminded members that it was City Council who gradually eliminated certain duties and job responsibilities from the mayor’s position. He suggested that Council simply reinstitute those responsibilities and/or create additional duties for a full-time Mayor. Mayor Christiansen indicated his familiarity with the previous “strong” mayor and, as such, Mayor Christiansen had assumed some job responsibilities that may be outside the realm of the mayor’s authority, such as economic development, working with State legislators, etc. It was his feeling that there are jobs that are required of the Mayor, since Dover is a full-time City, and that the system would work if the mayor were given specific job responsibilities that are established through ordinance or Charter. It was his recollection that the Mayor’s responsibilities were never codified, although it had been intended to do so. Mr. Leary suggested that City Council tweak the current system and not undertake a complete, radical, reorganization of the City. Mr. Anderson stated his willingness to submit a recommendation. In addition, he advised members that he was aware of a college student, with experience in organizational management, who desired to volunteer as an intern with the Committee and assist in developing a recommendation. At the request of Chairman Slavin, Mr. Anderson agreed to forward the individual’s resume for consideration. Update - Certified Local Government Application During their Regular Meeting of August 25, 2014, City Council approved the Committee’s recommendation directing staff to have the Certified Local Government Application completed by December 31, 2014. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that staff had compiled the résumé’s of all Historic District Commission members. Staff had also begun a review of the City’s existing ordinance regulating the Historic District Commission to ensure that it meets the criteria of the Secretary of Interior. Mrs. Townshend noted that staff had been spending a lot of time working on the Downtown Development District Application, which would be completed during the current week, allowing staff more time to focus on the Certified Local Government Application. She felt confident that the application would be completed within the next two (2) months. Mayor Christiansen stated that he had been assisting staff with the completion of this application.

TIME TABLE: Notice to proceed to be issued within thirty (30) days of Council approval. Project anticipated to be completed in 210 calendar days. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award the contract to A-Del Construction Co. for the City of Dover Lakeview Drive Pump Station Replacement Project, Bid #15-0010PW, for the amount of $407,350. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This capital investments project includes the relocation and replacement of the Smith & Loveless package pumping station installed in 1971. The station has exceeded its anticipated life expectancy of 20-25 years and is in need of a capacity upgrade due to high peak inflow rates. The existing pump rate is 175 gallons per minute (GPM) and will be increased to 200 GPM. The pump station is currently located in the middle of Lakeview Drive. The relocation of the station out of the roadway will improve worker safety and ease of maintenance work. This pump station replacement will improve the City’s wastewater system by increasing the structural integrity, pump efficiency, and wastewater flow capacity of the pump station. The City requested an alternate bid price for bituminous pavement for the pump station. This option will decrease maintenance at the station. City staff is currently finalizing negotiations with the owner of the property to properly obtain the necessary easements for this infrastructure. The bid was advertised to the public as an Invitation to Bid in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent under ITB #15-0010PW. Bids were opened on October 7, 2014. The City of Dover received two (2) bids. Based on the proposed quantities, the estimated contract values are as follows: ALTERNATE PAVING CONTRACTOR LOCATION BASE BID TOTAL COST OPTION A-DEL CONSTRUCTION CO. NEWARK, DE 400,100.00 7,250.00 $407,350.00 JJID, INC. BEAR, DE 425,000.00 2,500.00 $427,500.00 City staff reviewed the submissions and found that the A-Del Construction Co. bid met all requirements for the qualifications of the project. The price is fair and consistent with the approved budget. The alternate paving option is within the budget for this project. The staff recommends awarding the contract to A-Del Construction Co. in the amount of $407,350 for the Lakeview Drive Pump Station Replacement Project.

The cost of an extra Holiday is determined based on the budgeted base pay for 8 hours of additional leave for all employees. The wages equate to $81,300 for all employees. The incremental additional cost of overtime is approximately $7,500 based on current analysis, for a total approximate cost of $88,800 (excluding benefits). The real dollar cost is the total value of the day. On another note, Department budget request totaled $353,800 for 191 employees who planned to sell-back vacation hours. The vacation sell-back is planned to be paid out on November 28. Submissions for vacation sell-back hours were due today. We received hours for 126 employees with a total payout of $223,300. If you recall, we budget a separate line item for vacation sell-back and retirement payouts since past experience has demonstrated that not everyone budgeted takes advantage of the benefits. We reduce the aggregate Department request by approximately $100,000. We had two unplanned police retirements for the sex offenders unit. We are hopeful the difference in the vacation sell-back will cover any unbudgeted retirement payout.
