REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on June 23, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Bonar presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza, Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Council staff members present were Police Chief Bernat, Mr. Koenig, Mrs. Townshend, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Council staff members absent were Fire Chief Carey and Mrs. Mitchell. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Bonar declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Mr. Edward Thomas Christian, Jr., 9 Pennwood Drive, read the following statement into the record: To those Council Members seated to my left, my right and in front of me, to those staff members and city employees seated in front of me and behind me, I say thank you for what you are doing to and for the City and citizens of Dover, Delaware. I would surmise that most citizens don’t realize how much time and effort are required by City Council Members to serve and even more who do not understand the involvement of staff and employees to sustain City operations. I would state that there is a good mix here - the young, the older, and the in-between. The most challenging and overwhelming factor among you is the factor of being a human being. I accept the fact that each of you may have an ideology and a personal/political philosophy; however, I trust that each of you has completely open and fully engaging listening ears. We have the past which we are not to live in, but learn from; the future for which we plan, but the present for which we must implement. It is demanding of the elected officials/politicians, of which I say that there is a difference between the two, very demanding of you in this game of chance. For there are options that if your chips are insufficient, you must surrender your chair, or if sufficient, you remain at the table to continue to play, or you remove yourself from your chair before the next round is played. I make an effort to listen to special interest individuals, special interest groups, and voting constituents and attempt to understand their requests/demands. You elected officials, because you are much more informed and have a better picture of the affects and effects of your decisions, have a responsibility and by oath of office an obligation to do the right thing for the entire City and not just voting constituents and special interests.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 2 I say to City Council Members, staff, City employees, continue with both hands wide open, flexible fingers, both thumbs up, with a deliberate and safe speed, but with sufficient acceleration as needed to proceed forward. And again, I say KEEP ON TRUCKING! Thank you! Mr. Reuben Salters, 109 Bertrand Drive, noted that later in the meeting members would be reconsidering the evaluation of bids for the Dover Park Recreation Center demolition. He requested that members specifically consider the needs of the young people on the east side of the City. He noted that a need remains for more organized activities and recreation for all children of the City. Mr. Salters stated the importance of recreation for young people’s development, explaining that these young people are the City’s future leaders. He also reminded members that the African American Festival would be held Saturday, June 28, 2014 and encouraged all to attend. Mr. Roy Sudler, Jr., 353 Rita Wilma Road, stated that members are often made aware of complaints and concerns regarding City issues. He was happy to report that Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development; Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor; and Mr. Tim Taraila, Inspector III, did an excellent job addressing a recent concern regarding code enforcement. Mr. Sudler commended and thanked them for their professionalism and punctuality in handling the situation. The invocation was given by Bishop Thomas L. Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the consent agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2014 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of June 9, 2014 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Hutchison, seconded by Mr. Dixon and bore the written approval of Council President/Vice-Mayor Acting Bonar. PROCLAMATION - CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 COMMEMORATION DAY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was landmark legislation in the United States that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and July 2, 2014 will mark the 50th anniversary of the signing of this historic Act; and

Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 3 WHEREAS, the Dover Public Library was selected as one of a limited number of institutions nationwide to be awarded a “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” grant, which was offered through the “Bridging Cultures” initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities through its partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History; and WHEREAS, to commemorate the signing of the Civil Rights Act, the Dover Public Library, in partnership with the Dover Human Relations Commission and Delaware State University, will offer a series of documentaries recounting the stories of courageous individuals who challenged the social and legal status quo of deeply rooted institutions, from slavery to segregation, to open doors of opportunity for Americans. The series will begin with a viewing of “The Freedom Riders” at the Schwartz Center on July 2, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. and three additional films will be offered at the Dover Public Library during the months of July, August, and September, 2014, with all films to be followed by discussions with civil rights activists or scholars. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DAVID L. BONAR, VICE-MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE do hereby proclaim July 2, 2014 as CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 COMMEMORATION DAY and encourage all residents to participate in the events being offered, educate themselves on the history of civil rights in the United States, and reflect on the ideals of freedom and equality that have helped to bridge cultural and racial division. Council President/Vice-Mayor Acting Bonar presented the Proclamation to Ms. Michelle Hughes, Head of Adult Services, Dover Public Library; Mr. Cecil Wilson, Chair of the Dover Human Relations Commission; and Mr. Calvin Christopher, State Human Relations Commission. Ms. Hughes encouraged the public to participate in the events scheduled for July 2, 2014 to commemorate this important, historic event. Mr. Wilson thanked Mrs. Margie Cyr, Dover Public Library Director, and the entire staff of the Dover Public Library for promoting such a very strong commemoration of the Civil Rights Act. He noted the importance of everyone’s support, explaining that people often tend to elaborate on the past and, in doing so, forget about the future. Mr. Wilson felt that the City of Dover has a very strong future and would continue to move ahead in a positive way. Quoting a statement that he heard the previous day, Mr. Christopher stated: “Rosa sat, so Martin could march, so Obama could run, so we can fly.” He noted that the only way to “fly” is to embrace, commemorate, and continue with this 50-year celebration and do what is right and just. Mr. Christopher thanked the City for including the State in the celebration and continuing with the commemoration. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 238 NORTH NEW STREET - OWNED BY JOHN AND SOLEDAD SULLIVAN A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 238 North New Street, owned by John and Soledad Sullivan. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the property consisted of a two (2) story, wood-framed, single-family home. The house had been vacant

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 4 since May 9, 2012, and was registered with the City as a vacant building. On June 22, 2011, the home was condemned by staff due to numerous code violations and the failure of the owner to have a state-certified electrical inspection completed. The home was ordered boarded in July of 2011. Mrs. Townshend provided a chronological history and presentation on the condition of the house located at 238 North New Street (Exhibit #1). Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by July 23, 2014 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. Council President Bonar declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Bonar declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Hare moved that the structure located at 238 North New Street be declared a dangerous building and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 640 NIMITZ ROAD - OWNED BY DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST C/O COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOAN A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 640 Nimitz Road, owned by Deutsche Bank National Trust c/o Countrywide Home Loan. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that the property consisted of a two (2) story, wood-framed, single-family home. The house had been vacant since May 8, 2013, and was currently registered with the City as a vacant building. On May 6, 2014, City staff condemned the home due to a fire that occurred earlier that morning. The home was ordered boarded, which was completed on May 15, 2014 by a City contractor. Currently the home was still vacant, with no utilities and numerous outstanding code violations. Mrs. Townshend provided a chronological history and presentation on the condition of the house located at 640 Nimitz Road (Exhibit #2). Staff recommended that City Council: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by July 23, 2014 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 5 Council President Bonar declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Bonar declared the public hearing closed. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Townshend stated that the Deutsche Bank National Trust had not responded to the City and noted that this particular bank had not been responsive regarding any vacant buildings. In response to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that the photos included in the presentation reflected the current status of the property. Mr. Perza moved that the structure located at 640 Nimitz Road be declared a dangerous building and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JUNE 9, 2014 The Utility Committee met on June 9, 2014 with Chairwoman Williams presiding. Annual Engineering Consultant's Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2013 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the conclusions of the Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2013. Referring to Table 4-2: Annual Revenues and Sales Ratios on Page 4-4, Mr. Blakeman noted that revenues were $99,513,156 in FY 2011 and $88,331,196 in FY 2013, and he expressed concern about this $11M reduction in revenue. He indicated that the forecast for the current year was approximately $76M, which would be another $12M reduction, and inquired if this would be a continuing trend. Mrs. Mitchell explained that this was the result of decreases in the power supply cost and that the City had reduced rates in the last two (2) years by approximately 20%. She noted that higher-priced hedges in earlier years had now ended and noted that rates were based on rate studies performed by Burns & McDonnell that took into consideration the cost of services. Referencing Table 4-2, Mr. Blakeman also observed that the residential rate was reduced from $0.1479/kWh to $0.1400 over a three (3) year period, which he felt was a small reduction compared to the reduction in non-residential rates, which had decreased by one (1) cent or more during this period. He questioned if customers were reaping the benefit of more efficient operation of the system. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the rates were based on allocations determined by the cost of service. She stated that residential use accounts for more of the cost of service, noting that nearly all of the distribution is to residential users. Mrs. Williams noted that the historic tenacity of the Electric Fund was beginning to wane a bit and that the City would probably make up the difference in the Water Fund.

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 6 The Committee recommended acceptance of the report as presented. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Following the meeting, it was determined that the Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System Fiscal Year 2013 did not include updated information. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/ Treasurer, subsequently provided a revised report.) By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. TEA/NAES Report (April) The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for April 2014 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 Power Supply Summary on Page 1, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that overall power supply costs for April 2014 were $267,987 under budget and that this was one (1) of the few times that the City had been under budget for this component of the power cost. He reminded members that the City had experienced difficulty with some of the PJM charges earlier in the fiscal year; however, these charges had now stabilized. In January 2014, the City spent considerably more on the cost of power than anticipated during the budget preparation; however, it was hoped that these costs would track relatively well entering into the FY 15 budget. Prior to this year, there were a number of extremely high cost hedges and the City’s actual costs for power supply had tracked consistently below the budget. Mr. Koenig noted that the budget for the current year had been revised and was tracking much “tighter.” In reference to the April 2014 Power Supply Sources on Page 2 of the report, Mr. Koenig explained that hedge purchases accounted for 79% of the load, the City was in the spot market or day ahead market for 17%, and the Dover Sun Park provided 4% of the City’s power. Referring to the YTD Variance Report, Page 12, he noted that Total - Utilities Cost reflected that these costs exceeded the target by $6,774,576, which was related to very high PJM charges in January. However, he noted that this was allowed for in the budget and staff believed that these costs would be under control in FY 15. Referring to the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), Page 23, Mr. Koenig stated that NAES seemed to be progressing well through the projects, and noted that the spring outage was complete. He stated that work had been performed on the turbines which involved extra costs associated with their inspection and eventual replacement in the PJM; however, all units were available for operation after the spring outage and were expected to produce when necessary for the PJM.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 7 Mr. Blakeman questioned why the actual Hedged Cost and Unhedged Costs ($/MWh) reflected on Page 2 varied from the budgeted costs, since these costs should be known when the budget is developed. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that the City’s program states that the City should be 80% hedged on July 1, 2014 for FY 2015; therefore, the cost of 80% of the projected power load should be known. The other 20% is purchased from the market or is related to the Dover Sun Park. At the beginning of the fiscal year, these costs are relatively known. But the hedge position for the out-years is less than 80% because the City does not get up to full 80% hedge until it is coming into the power year. Mr. Koenig explained that the total budget includes the amounts anticipated for the unhedged costs. Mrs. Mitchell further explained that the variance between the $55.67 budgeted hedged cost and the actual hedged cost of $47.91 was the result of the unhedged portion of the power supply and reflected cost reductions in the market. She stated that staff would research the variance in the unhedged energy cost between the budgeted amount of $38.93 and the actual amount of $6.10. Mrs. Williams noted that it was difficult for civilian and elected officials to understand hedged funds and requested that a workshop be provided to members on this topic. She stated her preference that this meeting be scheduled for late in the afternoon (approximately 3:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m.). Mr. Koenig noted that the City’s contact for The Energy Authority meets with staff each month on a Thursday and suggested that a workshop could be scheduled to follow this monthly meeting. The Committee recommended acceptance of the report. By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Updates Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Updates Mr. Scott Koenig provided updates on the Garrison Oak Technical Park projects, as follows: City Infrastructure Mr. Koenig stated that City infrastructure contracts were underway at the Garrison Oak Technology Park. A-Del Construction Company had been doing a significant amount of earthwork associated with stormwater management as it ties into the White Oak Tax Ditch. George & Lynch, Inc. was constructing the force main, had done the directional bore underneath Route 1 as well as some additional directional bores under the White Oak Tax Ditch, and was in the process of connecting various components of the force main. He indicated that a field construction issue had arisen adjacent to Baytree and the contractor was working to ensure that the force main could fit between other utilities. Mr. Koenig stated that excavation work for the wet

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 8 well at the pump station was expected to begin shortly. Delivery of some of the stormwater structures had begun. Staff had been working with Chicago Bridge and Iron (CB&I), who would be constructing the water tower, and a mobilization date would be established with this contractor. Calpine Energy Center Mr. Koenig informed members that a number of deliveries were occurring every day to the Calpine Energy Center. The first unit at the Energy Center was well underway, and much of the outside of the unit had been assembled, although a good deal of related piping had yet to be completed. The right-of-way was being cleared of trees for the contractors to run a radial line from the Energy Center back to the 230kV Cartanza Substation. It was Mr. Koenig’s understanding that pole line construction would begin in the next 30 to 60 days and that a good deal of work was taking place at the back of the substation to make necessary improvements for the connection to the grid. Mr. Koenig advised members that a significant amount of activity was taking place at the Garrison Oak Technical Park, including a “kickoff ceremony” that was held in the last 30 days for the Uzin Utz manufacturing facility, which will be constructed on the west side of the Garrison Farm. Approximately 300 construction workers were expected to be associated with the Garrison Energy Center and approximately 30-40 (or more) construction workers with the Uzin Utz property once the steel assembly occurs. Once up and running, City contracts related to infrastructure improvements would involve approximately 20-50 workers, depending on the particular trades that are underway. Mr. Koenig stated that the only contracts that had not been let so far had to do with the relocation of the 69kV electric line on the roadway, and those were expected to be bid out shortly and would be brought forward to Council. This line would start on the east side of the property and involve pole adjustment across the frontage of the Garrison property. Mr. Koenig stated that activities were converging on the date of June 1, 2015, when Calpine expected to be operational in the PJM, and the Uzin Utz facility was tracking along the same lines. It was hoped that the infrastructure and all City projects would be substantially complete by December 31, 2014. Testing for Calpine would occur in February or March 2015, and this date would be in line with the time that the City expected to have staff on line at the Water Treatment Plant to help buffer the impact on the City’s system. Philip Utz, from Uzin Utz, indicated that he hoped to have the outside of the facility constructed by the end of the year and to put equipment in early next year, with the expectation that manufacturing operations would begin in the June timeframe. Mr. Koenig stated that the projects all seemed to be tracking correctly and staff was actively marketing the balance of the property. He expressed that, from a marketing standpoint, interest had increased now that there was construction activity and infrastructure, and staff was hopeful that one (1) or two (2) additional tenants would be realized this year.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 9 Responding to Mr. Blakeman regarding the status of the gas pipeline, Mr. Koenig stated his understanding that line construction was on track, and almost all of the pipe in the area from Leipsic Road going back behind Dover Downs was in place and had been tested. It was his recollection from a conference call with Calpine, that the pipeline was approximately half complete. The right-of-way along the back of Wild Meadows had been cleared, and it was Mr. Koenig’s belief that the line had been dug through this area, but he was unsure if it had yet reached the Calpine property. He stated that this project was moving very smoothly. He stated that his office had not received complaints from residents or motorists. After driving through Wild Meadows a couple of times, he felt that the visual impact of the clearing was not as intense as he anticipated and some trees were left between the houses and the actual right-of-way as a buffer. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig stated that the target completion date for the gas line was the end of 2014, if not sooner, and that the lateral line would be 16 inches in diameter. Dover Sun Park Members reviewed the Electric Revenue Fund FY14 White Oak Solar Park Incremental Cost. Progress Update on Purchase Power Agreement Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s Utility Attorney, had been working with a specific contact at Calpine to bring forward a purchase power agreement. A number of iterations had gone back and forth to determine the economic value of power going forward. Mr. Betts was not prepared to bring information forward at this time, and it was hoped that he would be closer to obtaining a number that he believed should be brought forward to Council in this regard within the coming weeks. Discussions were continuing about closing the gap between what the City believed was reasonable and what Calpine believed was reasonable. Mr. Koenig indicated that a draft agreement would come before Council, likely in Executive Session since this would be a legal matter, and would be voted upon in a public session. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that staff had not participated in negotiations to this point, and that Mr. Betts and the “number crunchers” from The Energy Authority (TEA) had been passing numbers back and forth. He stated that it was likely that he, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Betts, and other key individuals would be included. Mr. Blakeman suggested that if there was someone on staff who would be dealing with this matter on a daily basis, this staff member should be included in negotiations as well. In response to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell stated that $100,000 was budgeted in the Electric Fund budget for RFP and contract negotiations in FY 14 and $100,000 in FY 15 because the City was also negotiating with NAES.

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 10 By consent agenda, Mr. Hutchison moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. REVENUE REPORT UPDATE Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the Revenue Report as of May 31, 2014. Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Revenue Report as of May 31, 2014, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. 2014 SPECIAL MAYORAL ELECTION RESULTS Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reported the results of the 2014 Special Mayoral Election held on June 17, 2014, as certified by the Election Board, as follows: MAYOR Chevis R. Anderson 101 (6.02%) David L. Anderson 534 (31.82%) Robin R. Christiansen 658 (39.21%) R. Jefferson Reed 197 (11.74%) James P. Webster 188 (11.20%) Total District Votes Cast 1,678 (7.37%) Total Registered Voters 22,779 Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Election Results as reported by the City Clerk. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. OPPOSITION TO TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY’S PROPOSAL TO CUT $1M FROM MUNICIPAL STREET AID Council President Bonar advised members that it was announced in the State’s budget hearings before the Joint Finance Committee that the Transportation Secretary had submitted a proposal to cut $1M from Municipal Street Aid. He requested authorization to send a letter to relay the City’s opposition to the proposal. Mr. Lynn moved to authorize the Council President to send a letter in opposition to the Transportation Secretary’s proposal to cut $1M from Municipal Street Aid. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCES The First Reading of the following proposed ordinances was accomplished during the Council Meeting of June 9, 2014. Mrs. Williams moved that the Final Readings of the proposed ordinances be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 11 Proposed Ordinance #2014-16 Amending Appendix E - Commercial and Industrial Building Redevelopment As a sponsor of Proposed Ordinance #2014-16, Mr. Anderson explained that the proposed amendment would extend the sunset provision for the tax abatement, impact fee waiver, and building permit waiver incentives for three (3) years, noting that these provisions had proven to be beneficial and an important part of the City’s economic development. Mr. Anderson moved for adoption of the proposed ordinance, seconded by Mr. Slavin, and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2014-16, as follows: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Appendix E - Commercial and Industrial Building Redevelopment, Article VI - Severability and Effective Dates, Section 2 - Effective Dates of the Dover Code be amended to read as follows: Section 2. Effective dates. This ordinance became effective April 15, 2012. The provisions of this ordinance shall no longer apply after December 31, 2018. ADOPTED: JUNE 23, 2014 Proposed Ordinance #2014-17 - FY2014/15 City of Dover Budget Ordinances Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2014-17, FY2014/15 City of Dover Budget Ordinances, identified the FY2015 spending plan for the City of Dover, which included approximately $136M across all funds. He noted that the proposed ordinance had been revised to reflect action from the budget hearing of June 11, 2014 and, as requested by City Council, included the transfer of $10M from the Electric Fund to the General Fund. He stated that it also included an additional appropriation, in the amount of $100,000, to the Parkland Reserve Fund for funds to be used for a future recreation facility, and reminded members that an additional $80,000 was included in the Capital Plan related to a potential recreation facility that was identified during the budget process. The $100,000 required an adjustment to the Street Program; therefore, the total for the Street Program for FY2015 would be $900,000. As presented, Mr. Koenig stated that there was no tax increase in the proposed budget; however, there remained a $1.25 increase in the water customer charge, a $1.25 increase in the sewer customer charge, and a .45¢ increase in the ground water inflow/infiltration charge (increase from $1.05 to $1.50 per 1,000 gallons on the monthly bill). He stated that there were no proposed changes to the electric rates within the electric service territory for the City of Dover. Mr. Hare moved for adoption of Ordinance #2014-17 (Exhibit #3), seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Lynn, Hare, Hutchison, and Bonar) and three (3) no (Perza, Slavin, and Williams).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 12 RECONSIDERATION OF EVALUATION OF BIDS - DOVER PARK RECREATION CENTER DEMOLITION During their Regular Meeting of June 9, 2014, City Council considered the evaluation of bids for the demolition of the Dover Park Recreation Center. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Delaware Mulch and Stone in the amount of $35,600. The motion to approve staff’s recommendation failed by a roll call vote of five (5) no (Anderson, Dixon, Lynn, Slavin, and Bonar) and four (4) yes (Perza, Williams, Hare, and Hutchison). Council President Bonar advised members that Mr. Anderson had requested the reconsideration of this matter. Mr. Anderson moved for the reconsideration of the demolition of the Dover Park Recreation Center, as recommended by staff, conditioned upon the published issuance of an architectural Request for Proposals (RFP) for a replacement building by December 31, 2014 which shall contain basketball courts and that staff be instructed to target July of 2015 for bids for a replacement facility. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon. Mr. Lynn relayed concern that an RFP would not be definitive and suggested that the motion be amended to include a commitment that “ground be broken” in calendar year 2015. Responding, Mr. Anderson stated that, although he had no objections, the motion would require bids to be let in July 2015, which would include the next budget cycle and would provide the City two (2) budget cycles to adjust, as well as time for a study. Mr. Anderson agreed to amend the motion to include the requirement for a groundbreaking sometime in 2015, as did the seconder, Mr. Dixon. Responding to Mr. Koenig’s concerns, Mr. Anderson confirmed that the motion included authorization for staff to move forward with the bid for the demolition prior to the RFP for a replacement building. He stated that the motion simply included the condition that the RFP be done by December 31, 2014 and explained that the reason for providing that much time was his hope that there would be preliminary reports from the Recreational Needs Assessment by the end of September. Since staff had until the end of the year to issue the RFP, he felt that this would give staff ample time to react. Mr. Perza expressed his opinion that members may be getting “ahead of themselves,” explaining that the Recreational Needs Assessment, which would be conducted to determine what should be done to improve the Dover Park as well as all other parks in the City, would not be completed for another six (6) months. He noted that the results of the assessment may not justify the City spending funds on a building at the Dover Park. If the City were to move forward by putting out RFPs and groundbreaking requirements before obtaining the results of the assessment and allowing the public to comment, it was his opinion that City Council would be depriving the City of the entire function of taking public comment. Mr. Perza reminded members that six (6) to nine (9) months of time had been spent on meeting with engineers, contractors, environmental specialists, and staff of the Parks and Planning Departments for the sole purpose of determining whether the building at the Dover Park was worth salvaging. He felt that the building could be salvaged if the City’s resources were

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 13 not limited and if the City wanted to spend $300,000 on the rehabilitation of the building, before determining what should be done with it, this could be done; however, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee unanimously determined, on three (3) different occasions, that this would not be a wise use of resources. Mr. Perza stated that the specific question addressed by the Committee was whether spending money on the rehabilitation of the building at the Dover Park was a smart use of taxpayers’ dollars, and doing so was rejected by the Committee three (3) times. City Council finally approved the removal of the building, which brought the City to the point of determining what needed to be done next. Mr. Perza stated that City Council could not determine what to do next because Council had no input yet from the public or from the survey that the Planning Department had been working on for six (6) months, with six (6) months remaining for its conclusion. Therefore, he stated that if City Council made a decision now without this input, there would be no point in having the Planning Department continue to work on the survey and, being “tight” on staff, he suggested that members terminate the study and allow staff to reallocate resources for other uses at this point. Mr. Perza indicated his concern that members were getting confused between the purposes of what was being considered. He stated that the questions were “is the City removing the building” and “how much money is the City spending on it.” He reminded members that the answer to the question “is the City removing the building” had already been decided by the City, and the answer to the question “how much money is the City spending on it” was “the least amount possible,” which was the point of staff’s recommendation to spend $30,000 for its demolition, which was the question before City Council at this time. He explained that what the City does to replace the building is a question that would come up later, at a different time, after input from the public. If the motion were approved, he stated that members of City Council would basically be creating a situation whereby the City knows better than the public and had not taken the time to solicit public comments. Mrs. Williams suggested that members recall what happened when the City decided not to listen to the public regarding Schutte Park, noting that half of Council was not re-elected because they did not want to take this issue to referendum, did not want to follow the referendum results, and did not want the people to speak. She relayed her total concurrence with Mr. Perza and urged members to obtain public input regarding the issue. Mr. Slavin relayed confusion as to what the path forward would be on a replacement building at Dover Park. He understood that the Recreational Needs Assessment would continue and be done by the end of the calendar year. Responding, Mrs. Townshend indicated her hope that the assessment would be completed by October/November. Elaborating, Mr. Perza stated that members of City Council should be made aware of the results of the assessment, which would indicate what the citizens want at the Dover Park, in approximately six (6) months. Noting that the motion included a solution that would include basketball courts, Mr. Slavin indicated his understanding that the Needs Assessment was to determine what functions would be placed on the site. In addition, he understood that the motion included an RFP for architectural and design fees for a design, which would take the City to construction documents, to be done within a six (6) month period, with bids for construction to be received by July 2015, and the groundbreaking by the end of calendar year 2015. Mr. Slavin indicated his feeling that this was a highly compressed schedule

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 14 for this type of project and, although he appreciated all the work that had been done, once the building was demolished, the urgency of creating a solution for the recreational needs of the children on the east side of the City would be eliminated. He noted that this type of situation had occurred in the past, reminding members that, several years ago, it was suggested that the City not issue a demolition permit for the old Capital Office Supply building for the purpose of a new hotel to be erected until the building permit was issued for the new hotel, otherwise, it would result in a “hole in the ground” in the downtown area. He stated that, close to 15 years later, the City had a vacant lot, which had since been redeveloped into something pleasant, but was a “hole in the ground” for several years. He reiterated his fear that if the City demolished the building at the Dover Park, the urgency to take action would be lost and the City would lose its ability to take any further action at the site. Mr. Anderson stated that he reviewed past minutes and was reminded that there had been much public testimony regarding this matter at the Committee meetings in October and November 2013, February 2014, and at other times. He stated that, based on this testimony, it was clear that the public desired a facility at Dover Park and actually opposed the demolition of the current building. However, he realized that the facility was no longer useful in its current condition and had effectively been demolished. He agreed that the public had scepticism regarding this issue and concurred with Mr. Hare’s previous suggestions that the City should consider alternatives for providing a structure that would be inexpensive but effective, since young people are not concerned with grand designs and a multimillion dollar building but rather adequate facilities that continue regardless of weather and provide year-round recreation. He welcomed members to make amendments to the motion. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that there would be no significant costs for the City if the building remained, explaining that the alarm system had been disconnected and there were no utilities associated with the building. There would simply be costs associated for periodic policing of the area. After speaking with the residents near the Dover Park, Mr. Hare stated that it was their desire for some type of facility to be provided; however, it was also their desire for that particular building to be demolished, explaining that they indicated that they do not feel safe going out after a certain time due to the people that were being attracted to the site. He stated that, in addition to basketball courts, the residents had indicated a desire for a skate park at the site. Whether the building was standing or not would not change people’s minds about whether or not the City should provide some type of recreation facility. Mr. Hare reiterated that although the residents adjacent to Dover Park would like some type of recreation facility, it was their desire for the current structure to be demolished due to the elements the building attracts. He indicated his support for the demolition of the structure now, expressing his opinion that it would only promote action to be taken quicker. He stated that he did not believe there was a need to delay the demolition of the building any longer. Mr. Lynn stated that the fact that members were having such a conversation was a testament that the impetus for any movement in Dover Park was the continued existence of the building; therefore, he would not support any move that would demolish the building without concrete plans to take some other action at Dover Park. He noted that the children on the east side of Dover were in need of recreational activities and that it was unconscionable to believe the children should cross Route 13, by bicycle or foot, to get to Schutte Park and, since it would put the youth who reside on the east side

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 15 of Dover in danger, he could not support such a concept. If the City were to make a firm commitment to build a new facility or provide other recreational facilities for the east side of Dover, as suggested by the motion, he would support the idea. However, he felt that the comments and concerns of Mr. Slavin were legitimate. Mr. Lynn did not feel there was a need to hurry the demolition of the building and that the mere fact that the building existed meant that it continued to exist on the City’s radar and would continue to spur this type of discussion. He also relayed concern with the manpower element in the Planning Department, noting that staff could not provide a firm date of October for the completion of the Needs Assessment. Mr. Lynn stated that the hesitation with which those questions were answered gave him some concern. Referring to funding, Mr. Slavin questioned the amount of money that would remain for the architectural and engineering costs after the demolition. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that the monies used for demolition were held in a separate account; therefore, $80,000 in the Capital Plan and $100,000 in the Parkland Reserve Fund (a total of $180,000) was provided for in the FY2015 budget in association with a new facility. Mr. Slavin stated his concern that typically construction costs are six (6) to seven (7) times the architectural and engineering costs; therefore, $180,000 would not be enough for a new building. As a result, staff would either need to request an appropriation for the project in mid-fiscal year or include it in the next fiscal year’s budget. Based on the difficulty experienced by members of Council in the last six (6) weeks in approving a budget with new expenses, he was concerned that staff would not obtain Council’s support for the requested appropriation. In reviewing the motion, Mrs. Townshend stated that if an RFP was let in late December 2014, proposals would not be brought before City Council to award a contract until sometime in February 2015. By the time the architect does their work and the City begins to go through the process, she stated that there would be no way that the groundbreaking could occur as stipulated. She stated that it would be impossible for the City to go to construction in calendar year 2015. With regard to costs, Mrs. Townshend stressed that if a facility were constructed, there would not only be capital costs but also operational costs. Based on experience, she stated that the City did not currently have the staff to effectively and safely run two (2) facilities, which is why it was imperative for staff to be placed at one (1) location. It was not safe to have a recreation center staffed by one (1) person, which would occur if there were two (2) locations, with a staff of five (5). As a result, she stated that as members discuss what type of facility is desired and the capital costs involved, there also must be a discussion regarding the impact on the operating budget, since two (2) separate locations could not be accommodated with the five (5) employees the City currently had in that Department. Mr. Perza indicated that the procedures that the City has in place were designed to address all issues including staffing needs, funding, etc. Realistically, he felt that it would be two (2) years before construction could begin. By going outside of the process and basically amending the procedure by modifying what was going to occur to obtain a result, he felt that the City would be locking itself into unknown consequences. With regard to Mr. Lynn’s previous comment regarding the “unconscionableness” of residents having to make their way from one end of the City to the other for recreation, Mr. Perza stated that, as a representative of south Dover (Woodbrook, Mayfair, Crossgates, etc.), residents in this area did not have any recreational facilities (buildings); however,

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 16 basketball courts, soccer fields, and softball/baseball fields were made available. He did not feel it was “unconscionable” that individuals could play in the parks provided, explaining that nowhere was a park required to have a $100,000, $200,000, or $300,000 building in order to be accepted as a park in the City. For whatever reasons, he stated that the City built Schutte Park several years ago, which became the central park for the City; however, the neighborhoods within the City still had their own parks, and a building was not required in order for residents to play in and enjoy them. He indicated that Dover Park was a park that currently did not effectively have a building, but noted that a building was not necessary for individuals to enjoy the park. Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding the City’s costs per year for providing recreation in the City of Dover, Mrs. Townshend stated that the operating budget was a little more than $600,000. Referring to the Needs Assessment, Mr. Hutchison stated the importance of including the schools, YMCA, churches, Boys and Girls Club, etc. in order to obtain an understanding of what was provided in the City, explaining that there were other options in addition to constructing a building. He indicated that when the City built Schutte Park, it was built for all residents of the City and he could not support making any financial commitment to constructing another building; however, he felt that the current structure needed to be demolished. Mr. Hutchison stated that City Council members should not take action that would commit to the construction of a building without having a study or comprehensive understanding of the needs of the community. It was his feeling that the City was acting like the Federal Government - spending money it did not have. Mr. Hare stated that, as indicated by staff, it would be two (2) years before any construction could begin. In the meantime, he suggested that transportation (buses) be provided for residents to be picked up at the Dover Park and transported to Schutte Park if they are interested in programs there. If members of City Council wished to delay the demolition at this time, he stated that when they do decide to demolish the building, any costs over the $35,600 (current low bid), should come out of City Council’s salary and budget. Elaborating, he stated that if it costs an additional $15,000 to demolish the building in a year, year and a half, or two (2) years, each member of Council should be responsible for that cost. Mrs. Williams expressed her frustration in hearing about doing something in the future. She advised members that the City currently, in conjunction with Aid in Dover, the organization that she is associated with, has a program that has been in operation for the last year that provides basketball for kids who are at risk. She stated that the participants are from all over the City and are provided transportation. Rather than talking about what is going to happen, she suggested the possibility of expanding a service that was already being provided; however, she stated that it could not be expanded without budgeting additional funds. If members chose to leave the building erected, she stated that the City would be sponsoring recreation - buying and selling drugs, noting that this was the type of activity currently taking place behind the building. Mr. Dixon stated his concern that the City includes a fee for children to participate in recreation activities, explaining that many parents do not have money to pay these fees. It was his feeling that the City was in need of another facility and noted that even if the City provided transportation, children might miss their rides.

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 17 Mr. Anderson stated appreciation for the discussion and indicated that it was the result of there being a forgotten part of the City. He indicated his openness to amending the motion and explained that although there were target dates, he did not mean for there to be any obligation and that if the target dates could not be met, staff could submit a request to establish new dates. Mr. Anderson indicated his desire to amend the motion to reflect the requirement for a groundbreaking sometime in 2016, rather than 2015, and there was no objection by the seconder, Mr. Dixon. In response to Mr. Slavin, Council President Bonar suggested that the maker of the motion and the seconder withdraw the motion and that the motion be restated. Mr. Anderson withdrew the motion to amend, as did the seconder, Mr. Dixon. Mr. Anderson withdrew the main motion, as did the seconder, Mr. Dixon. For clarification, Council President Bonar announced that there was no motion on the floor at this time. Mr. Anderson moved for the reconsideration of the demolition of the Dover Park Recreation Center, as recommended by staff, conditioned upon the issuance of an architectural Request for Proposals (RFP) for a replacement building to be published by December 31, 2014 and that staff be instructed to target bids in FY2015 with a goal for a groundbreaking by the end of 2016. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn. Mr. Perza requested that the question be divided in order for separate votes to be taken on the issue of demolition of the current building and the construction of a new building. Mr. Perza moved to divide the motion to consider two (2) issues: 1) the reconsideration of the demolition of the Dover Park Recreation Center, as recommended by staff; and 2) the condition for the issuance of an architectural Request for Proposals (RFP) for a replacement building to be published by December 31, 2014 and that staff be instructed to target bids in FY2015 with a goal for a groundbreaking by the end of 2016. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams. With objections to the motion to divide, Mr. Lynn reminded the City Solicitor that this was a motion for reconsideration and that allowing Mr. Perza to amend the motion would be effectively allowing him to go beyond the scope of the motion for reconsideration, explaining that Mr. Perza voted on the failing side of the original motion for reconsideration. Accordingly, he could not be in a position to go forward on a motion for reconsideration because he was not on the prevailing side. Therefore, Mr. Lynn stated that the motion to divide effectively would allow Mr. Perza to revisit the motion for reconsideration, which Mr. Perza did not have standing to do and, as a result, such a motion would be procedurally improper.

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 18 Council President Bonar announced that the City Solicitor concurred with Mr. Lynn; therefore, he would present the motion as stated by Mr. Anderson and seconded by Mr. Lynn. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend expressed her belief that the goal for a groundbreaking to occur by the end of calendar year 2016 was an acceptable time frame, provided that funding was available for the construction of a building. Mr. Hare questioned the results of approving the motion, explaining that as stated, if an RFP were let and the lowest bid indicated a cost of $2.5M for a building, then the City must follow through since the motion would require groundbreaking by the end of 2016. Responding, Mr. Anderson explained that the dates included in the motion were target dates and, noting that this project required a process, he stated that at any time during this process if it were proven not to be the direction desired, Council would have the ability not to fund the construction of a building and make a motion to redirect staff concerning this matter. He assured members that the motion would provide staff the framework with the intent of City Council, as stated at this time. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Council President Bonar indicated that the motion before City Council was for the reconsideration of the evaluation of bids for the Dover Park Recreation Center demolition. In response to the explanation provided to Mrs. Williams by Council President Bonar, Mr. Anderson questioned if the Chair had elected to divide the question. At the request of Mr. Slavin and there being no objections, Council President Bonar declared a five (5) minute recess. Meeting recessed at 8:37 p.m. and reconvened at 8:46 p.m. Mr. Anderson moved for the reconsideration of staff’s recommendation to award the demolition contract to Delaware Mulch and Stone in the amount of $35,600, seconded by Mr. Slavin. In the interest of compromise and development of a solution, Mr. Slavin explained that the first issue was to agree to the demolition of the building at the Dover Park Recreation Center in the interest of public safety. In addition, a second component, in the form of a subsequent motion, would be for the RFP process to be “out on the street” in December and completed by May 2015 so that Council would have a budget estimate for whatever solution the architect determined in that design process. He suggested that a third component/motion would stipulate that, with the City currently dedicating $180,000 to this solution, it would be necessary for the costs for the architectural design, approximately $50,000-$60,000, to be paid from the $180,000 and that if the next sitting Council that adopts the next budget determines that the solution for Dover Park is too expensive, the balance of those funds would be dedicated to Dover Park and a recreation solution, whether that be programmatic or capital.

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 19 On a call for the question by Mrs. Williams, the motion for the reconsideration of staff's recommendation to award the demolition contract to Delaware Mulch and Stone in the amount of $35,600 was approved by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Perza, Slavin, Williams, Hare, Hutchison, and Bonar) and one (1) no (Lynn). Mr. Slavin moved that the City let out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for architectural design services for a replacement building at Dover Park, that these design services would commence after the Recreational Needs Assessment is complete, and that a budget estimate for a solution be provided by May 1, 2015. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend reminded members that when staff was directed to conduct a Needs Assessment, it was to be completed by the end of the year and that there was a three (3) month difference between October and December. She felt that this time would be necessary to complete the Needs Assessment. It was her feeling that having the December deadline for the Needs Assessment would provide ample time to hire the architectural engineer and provide a budget estimate by the May 1, 2015 date. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend stated that the survey would continue to be a City-wide Recreational Needs Assessment, regardless of the action taken by members this evening; however, there would be very specific targeted pieces in regard to how to deal with Dover Park and the building needs. At the request of Mrs. Williams, Mr. Slavin stated that approval of the motion would confirm that the City would be spending funds on the architectural design services. For further clarification, he stated that if the Needs Assessment indicated that there was not a need for the replacement of the building but rather other amenities in that park, that would be the direction for the architectural design to follow. The motion that the City let out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for architectural design services for a replacement building at Dover Park, that these design services would commence after the Recreational Needs Assessment is complete, and that a budget estimate for a solution be provided by May 1, 2015 was carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Lynn, Slavin, Williams, Hare, and Bonar) and two (2) no (Perza and Hutchison). Mr. Slavin moved that the total funds currently allocated for the Dover Park solution in the amount of $180,000 will be used to pay for the architectural design fees and that the balance of those funds will be dedicated to improvements at Dover Park, whether they be program or capital improvements, whether or not the next Council chooses to accept the recommendations of the architect. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn. Mrs. Townshend explained that there was $100,000 in the Parkland Reserve, which can be used only for capital and $80,000 in the Capital Plan; therefore, these funds could not be used for programming unless the funds were transferred by City Council. Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that Council would adhere to those restrictions.

COUNCIL MEMBERS’ ANNOUNCEMENTS On behalf of all members of Council, Council President Bonar wished Mr. Hutchison a happy belated birthday (June 20th) and Mr. Hare a happy early birthday (July 6th). Council President Bonar also reminded members that the African American Festival would be held this Saturday, June 28, 2014. At the request of Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend announced that on Thursday, June 26th, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Dover Public Library, a Public Workshop would be held on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan currently underway as a joint effort of the Dover/Kent County MPO and the City of Dover. On behalf of the City, Mr. Perza relayed appreciation to the Norfolk Southern Railroad for holding the public Whistle Stop Train Ride from Harrington to Newark early in the day, to address public safety. He felt the event was a very informative, well put together program, and an enjoyable time. Mr. Anderson reminded members that the Delaware League of Local Governments meeting was scheduled for this Thursday, beginning at 5:00 p.m. for the social hour, noting that at 6:00 p.m. there would be a special event that he could not publicly announce at this time. Mr. Anderson stated that, in addition to the African American Festival which is always held on the fourth Saturday in the month of June, the Independence Day celebration would be held on July 4th and that he looked forward to sharing that time with the community. Mr. Slavin recognized the work of the City Clerk’s Office in conducting the City-wide election this past week, as well as the poll workers who assisted with this election. Council President Bonar stated that the new Mayor would assume his responsibilities on Wednesday evening and that serving as the Vice-Mayor Acting, he realized that there was a lot more involved with the responsibilities of the Mayor. He noted that he met with all personnel of the Dover Police Department and relayed appreciation for their work, encouraging them to continue their work, and assured them that they had the full support of City Council. Mr. Bonar recognized that former Mayor Carey and his wife were in attendance and welcomed them. Regardless of information that was printed in the newspaper, he stated that Mayor Carey contributed 50 years of service to the community and the City will now move on from this point forward. Mr. Hare also commended the work of the City Clerk’s Office.

PETITION TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT Report to the Dover City Council July 14, 2014 Proposed Change: Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Sections 10-16 and 26 pertaining to District Regulations, Article 4 Sections 4.14 and 4.15 pertaining to Bulk and Parking Regulations, Article 10 Section 2 pertaining to Site Development Plan approval, and Article 12 Definitions. The proposed ordinance revisions are the result of numerous consultations with the business and real estate community to simplify zones, generalize certain use categories, and provide more flexibility in site design. Summary of Amendment: The City Planner has been meeting with a group of representatives of the business and real estate community convened by the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce since late 2012 to review the commercial, office and industrial zones in the City in an effort to simplify the zones, create more generalized use categories, provide more flexibility in site design by adjusting bulk standards, and make the zones more business friendly. The proposed ordinance reflects the proposed changes to Zoning Ordinance as a result of this effort. The changes include revisions to Article 3- District Regulations, Article 4- Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Article 10- Planning Commission, and Article 12- Definitions. The proposed changes to Article 10 would increase the thresholds for projects that require Planning Commission review. For building additions, Planning Commission review would be required for additions of more than 15% of the floor area. Staff Amendment #1 clarifies some of the language and makes some technical corrections to the ordinance. Planning Commission Recommendation: Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission on June 16, 2014, where one member of the public spoke in favor of the proposed amendments, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the ordinance, including Staff Amendment #1, to City Council. An excerpt of the draft minutes from the Planning Commission meeting is attached. Ordinance Number: 2014-08 File Number: MI-14-10

Excerpt from DRAFT Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting of June 16, 2014 4) MI-14-10 Text Amendment: Revisions to Commercial and Office Zones – Public Hearing Review for Recommendation to City Council on Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 Sections 10-16 and 26 pertaining to District Regulations, Article 4 Sections 4.14 and 4.15 pertaining to Bulk and Parking Regulations, Article 10 Section 2 pertaining to Site Development Plan approval, and Article 12 Definitions. The proposed ordinance revisions are the result of numerous consultations with the business and real estate community to simplify zones, generalize certain use categories, and provide more flexibility in site design. Ordinance #2014-08. The Parks Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee reviewed the Proposed Text Amendment on April 28 and May 12, 2014. The first Reading of this Proposed Text Amendment was completed by City Council on May 27, 2014. The Proposed Text Amendment is available on the City’s website www.cityofdover.com under the “Government” heading, link to “Ordinances, Resolutions and Tributes” or you may contact the Planning Office for a copy of the Proposed Text Amendment. Representatives: None Mrs. Townshend stated this is a series of amendments to all of the Commercial and Office Zones within the Zoning Ordinance, minus the Recreational and Commercial Zone and the Shopping Center Zones. The ordinance came about through a series of meetings. About two years ago, Planning Staff brought forward amendments to the Sign Regulations that were amended in conjunction with the business community. This is the next phase of their working relationship through the Chamber with the real estate and business community. They have been meeting about these zones since the end of 2012. They have gone through all of the Commercial and Office Zones; both the uses and the bulk standards with a fine tooth comb. There have been a number of things that they have tried to do in this review. They are trying to make the categories more general and use specific. One example that she typically uses is currently the C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) allows bowling alleys. That’s great but what about laser tag or an indoor batting cage? Something that would be another type of indoor amusement or recreational facility but it’s not a bowling alley. They used broader language. Where a lot of zones refer back to others (ex. C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) refers back to C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone), C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) refers back to C- 1A (Limited Commercial Zone) which refers back to C-1(Neighborhood Commercial Zone), there is a lot of flipping through the Code when trying to figure out what can be done in a certain zone. What they have done is made sure that they capture all of those uses rather than just referring to the other zones so that the Zoning Ordinance is easier to read. In doing that, they also tried to make sure that there’s a better separation between what can be done in C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) versus what can be done in C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone), versus what can be done in C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone); seeing those as kind of progressive starting from C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) to C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) which is less than Highway Commercial but a little more intense than C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) or C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone). They tried to really break out that progression of what’s prohibited and what’s permitted in each zone so that there is a continuum of zones. Her experience is that there is not a lot of difference between C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) and C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) right now. It really struck her when they looked at the Comprehensive Plan Amendment proposal by Mr. Ashburn that they couldn’t put a zoning classification if someone wanted to do commercial there. There was no zoning classification that would allow some sort of commercial activity and retail activity but also prohibit gas pumps. They fixed this issue where C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) and C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) expressly prohibit gas pumps. C-2A (Limited Central Commercial Zone) is how it is now, where someone would be able to get gas pumps as a conditional use similar to the way Wawa and Royal Farms was done.

Page 95

In terms of the Bulk Standards, they have tried to relax the Bulk Standards to allow property owners and their design staff to come up with a design that works for the site and isnt based on setbacks. They pulled the setbacks back to what was really needed to adequately buffer the property from another property so that is doesn’t cause people to design in a building envelope that might not make as much sense as if they had more flexibility on the site. The next piece was changing the threshold for what comes to Planning Commission versus what can be done administratively. The Commissioners have an amendment (Staff Amendment #1) on their desks. In terms of the changing of the thresholds, she would specifically look at the amendments because Mr. Perza, who is a member of the Parks Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee and a member of City Council, was concerned that the wording in the ordinance as proposed could be confusing. Coming out of the First Reading, they worked to break that out. What is proposed now is new structures of 5,000 square feet or greater would come to the Planning Commission; currently it’s 3,000 square feet. Additions to existing structures that constitute 15% or more of the existing floor area and are greater than 5,000 square feet in new floor area would come to the Planning Commission. Impervious cover additions don’t change and disturbance adjacent to residential would increase from 1,500 square feet to 2,500 square feet. In terms of additions to existing structures, the example she uses is Proctor and Gamble. They have an 800,000 square foot facility. It gives more flexibility where the proportionality of it is so small at 3,000 square feet or 5,000 square feet they have to come to the Planning Commission. They are referring to 1% of their floor area or less. The idea is that it would come to the Planning Commission when it reaches a proportion of the existing square footage that would be noticed. With any Administrative Site Plan, if there is something that makes staff uncomfortable it can be brought before the Planning Commission; this is already in the Ordinance. The idea is that some of these very large facilities that are doing something minuscule in comparison to what they have there could really go through an administrative process. The last piece of this Text Amendment is adding some definitions of things that are currently not in the Zoning Ordinance (ex. personal service establishments, place of public assembly, restaurant, retail, service establishment, vocational training). They also added definitions for transitional housing and emergency shelters which are not addressed in this ordinance but at some point they do look to bring forward an ordinance under other circumstances that would help to address these because emergency shelter and transitional housing are kind of absent from the Zoning Ordinance in terms of how they are supposed to deal with them. They want to make sure that it’s clear that those facilities are permitted and in which zones they would be permitted in. That’s a different ordinance for a different day but since they were working on definitions they added these definitions. Removing the words “and outdoor sales areas” from line 33 just acknowledges that they are working in a zone that does not allow retail so they don’t need to talk about outdoor sales areas. Line 95: they had taken out the allowance of fuel pumps as a conditional use in the C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) but they thought that since they were prohibiting other motor vehicle uses they should make it clear that fuel pumps would also be prohibited in that zone. Amendment (item) 3 refers to C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) which is the Downtown zone which again the idea is that fuel pumps shouldn’t be right on Loockerman Street in that C-2 (Central Commercial Zone) area. Amendment (item) 4 removed the language where it refers to another zone and adds that language into it. There is also a correction to the definition of retail because the definition that was in there could in theory, prohibit something like a Sam’s Club because it says directly to the ultimate consumer or persons without a resale license and at some of the box stores, things are resold. This was just more to clarify retail is where someone is selling to a consumer; it’s not a wholesale facility.

Page 96

The one issue that did come up among the Planning Staff and she wasn’t able to figure out how or if they needed to do an amendment, was the issue of parking in the C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone), C-1A (Limited Commercial Zone) and C-2 (Central Commercial Zone). It used to be that there was no parking requirement at all in the C-2 (Central Commercial Zones). In 2007, they added 1/2 space per 300 square feet for new construction. A lot of the discussion in the Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan talks about not requiring parking as a site by site basis but pushing toward large public parking facilities. The idea is that they should not necessarily require flat surface parking in their Downtown. With the C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zones) and C-1A (Limited Commercial Zones), these are Neighborhood Commercial facilities so what they are proposing at this point is taking the parking requirement out. There is language in Article 10 of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to Site Plans that states, “In considering and acting upon Site Development Plans, the public health safety and welfare, the comfort and convenience of the public in general and of residents in the immediate neighborhood in particular shall be taken into consideration. Appropriate conditions and safe guards may be prescribed as may be required that the results of approval may to the maximum extent possible. Further, the expressed intent of this ordinance and accomplishment of the following objectives in particular.” She thinks that the discretion is in the Zoning Ordinance for the Planning Commission. If a C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone) site came to the Commission to build something new and they knew that there was a parking issue in the area, it could be dealt with based on the language in the Code. For instance, the Grocery Basket is an area that the residential areas could propose and go through the application process for C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone). If there was a neighborhood store like that where the intent is really to get your neighbors to walk to the corner store but there is a parking requirement it could make it out of character with that area. The idea is by eliminating it, it could be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If there’s public testimony that there are concerns or if it’s in an area where there is no on-street parking and there is no way that it would work or there is no public parking, it could be added as a condition. From a market standpoint, any business owner is going to want to make sure whether the parking is on their site, on the street or at a lot down the road that people can conveniently access their stores. The idea is that it allows the discretion but doesn’t lock them into a parking requirement that could be out of character with the surrounding area. Mrs. Townshend stated that Mr. Scott Kidner, Mr. Phil McGinnis and Mr. Tom Burns are here this evening. They have worked with her along with Ms. Judy Diego, Mr. Connie Malmberg, Mr. John Paradee, Mr. Keith Kooker and Mr. Bob MacLeish. They have all been very helpful in helping to move this forward and have been reasonable when she has stood her ground on things that she did not think things were necessarily an improvement of the ordinance. She has worked on the amendments to the ordinance very vigorously with these people and she is comfortable, not that they can anticipate all unintended consequences but she thinks that it does set things up to be more streamlined, easier to understand and to allow the property owner and their designer flexibility to do something that works for a site. Colonel Welsh stated that this is something that he thinks is long overdue. It simplifies the process, streamlines the process and makes it a whole lot easier for the business community to get things done. He commended those who worked on this project for their work as well as the Planning Staff for their hard work in getting this done. Hopefully, this is going to make it easier for everybody including the Planning Commission. Mr. Holden stated that he agreed with Colonel Welsh’s comments. He thinks that these are good changes that are going to help our community. Mr. Cregar questioned if the change in the square footage would cause any issues for Planning Staff? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated no. Staff has brought things forward to the Planning Commission before that they thought didn’t need to be seen by the Commission.

Mr. Cregar further questioned if the Jolly Joe’s application from tonight would have been handled administratively? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated that it could have been. Under the proposed changes to the C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial Zone), the liquor store wouldn’t be permitted but it is legal non-conforming. But yes, something like that would not have to come to the Planning Commission. Mr. Holt stated that it was long overdue. Dr. Jones questioned if the Jolly Joe’s application was handled by Staff, does that mean there is no public hearing? Responding to Dr. Jones, Mrs. Townshend stated yes, for an Administrative Plan there is no public hearing. Mr. Holden questioned if the application was handled administratively but the applicant is asking for curb or fencing waivers? Responding to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Townshend stated that the waivers would have to come to the Planning Commission. Staff has seen a few of those applications before where otherwise they wouldn’t need to come before the Planning Commission. Colonel Welsh opened the public hearing. Mr. Phil McGinnis – 555 East Loockerman Street Dover DE 19901 Mr. McGinnis stated that on behalf of his colleagues present tonight and those who didn’t bother to come out this evening he wants to thank everyone for the consideration of these changes. Mrs. Townshend is correct, they being gentlemen they didn’t wrestle her to the floor when they felt strongly on issues that they wanted to change. They reached amicable consensus and arm wrestled. Certainly, they approve the changes; they want to be on the record as supporting the changes. It isn’t much of a public hearing when there is no public here. He thinks that these changes to these districts sort of move them towards smart growth development. It adds some great changes; they will be the envy of the League of Local Governments with these changes. He whole heartedly asks the Commission to support them unanimously. Mr. Cregar stated that it seemed like Dr. Jones had some reservation earlier. He questioned if she got answered what she needed answered? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Dr. Jones stated that there was an answer to her questions. Take a project that is going to go into a residential facility or very near residential. Mrs. Townshend stated that if something is adjacent to residential that threshold is lowered to 2,500 square feet of disturbance. It could be a small building but if they are added parking and the parking area and the building add up to 2,500 square feet that’s a pretty low threshold. If it’s adjacent to residential, they have a lower threshold to get to Planning Commission for that reason. One thing that it does in the C-2 (Central Commercial Zone), which is the Downtown zone, is that personal service establishments and offices would no longer be conditional uses. Things like Janaid’s, Bee Hive Salon, EZ Pass, Joe Petrosky’s request for offices in the Loockerman Exchange would be allowed. The idea of that is that it’s really the form over the function. Mr. McGinnis talked about moving towards smart growth. She doesn’t think they are ready for a form based code where it’s more about the building representation to the street and more on subjective standards. The idea with the form based code is that they are not as worried about what’s happening in the buildings as long as they’re not incompatible with what the character of the area is. They are looking at how the buildings present themselves. So whether it’s an office behind that wall or a salon or restaurant isn’t as important as what that wall looks like. Colonel Welsh closed the public hearing.

Page 98

Mrs. Townshend stated that the Commission should probably do a separate motion on the amendment (Staff Amendment #1) and then a motion on the ordinance unless they want to do the ordinance with the amendment (Staff Amendment #1). Colonel Welsh stated to do the amendment (Staff Amendment #1) with the ordinance because it is all part of the package. Mr. Cregar questioned if they were satisfied with the parking question? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated that she can live with it. Again, she can’t sit here and tell the Commission won’t at some point have an unintended consequence but she does believe that there is flexibility in the Zoning Ordinance that they can deal with the issue. Mr. Cregar further questioned if at some point Staff questions something could it come to the Planning Commission for review? Responding to Mr. Cregar, Mrs. Townshend stated yes. Any Administrative Site Plan can be referred to the Planning Commission. Ms. Still moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-14-10 Text Amendment: Revisions to Commercial and Office Zones as listed in the agenda and inclusive of Staff Amendment #1, seconded by Mr. Holt and the motion carried by roll call vote 9-0 Mr. Holden voting yes, as per the discussion and due to the fact that these changes are going to help streamline some processes and applications within our community. Mr. Cregar voting yes, this provides us with a better and improved process for these business and institutional office zones. Mr. Tolbert voting yes, this change does facilitate a user friendly approach to their work and it’s something that was very much needed. Mr. Holt voting yes, the amendment to the Commercial and Office Zones will help to streamline the operations for the Planning Commission. Mr. Baldwin voting yes, based on the information provided this evening and to help streamline the process. Dr. Jones voting yes, in concurrence with the previous comments supporting the changes. Ms. Still voting yes, in concurrence with all the reasons cited previously. Mr. Ambruso voting yes, based on all the comments previously stated. Colonel Welsh voting yes, for reasons that have been previously stated and once again thanking Mrs. Townshend, Planning Staff, Mr. McGinnis, Mr. Burns and everybody on the business side who participated in this; a win-win for the city and for the business community.

SPECIAL DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING A Special Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) meeting was held on May 13, 2014 at 5:35 p.m. with Chairman Wilson presiding. Members present were Mr. McGiffin (arrived at 5:48 p.m.), Mrs. Sadusky, Ms. Smith, Ms. Stewart (arrived at 6:14), Mr. Roach, and Mr. Ruane. Ms. Hicks and Mr. Henderson were absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Roach moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mrs. Sadusky and unanimously carried. Presentation - DHRC and City of Dover Police Department Interaction (Police Chief Bernat) City of Dover Police Chief Paul Bernat advised members that the Dover Police Department was involved in many facets of the Dover community. He stated that the Department was active in 49 homeowner associations/neighborhood watch groups and could provide neighborhood crime statistics and crime prevention tips to these groups. He noted that the Department had become increasingly involved in social media by issuing news releases, participating in Facebook and Twitter, and maintaining its own website (www.doverpolice.org), and was in the process of implementing a new phone application that would push out news feeds and allow the Department to receive anonymous tips through text messaging. Chief Bernat explained that the Police Department offers personal and workplace safety talks, as well as bicycle safety programs for five (5) to 12-year-olds. Officers visit day care centers, preschools, and elementary schools, interacting with children through their “Meet a Police Officer” Program, and also attend block parties. They provide drug awareness and education through the Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) program for fifth graders at William Henry Middle School. He stated that the Police Department has a very successful Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program (CHMHP), which brings together property managers, residents, and police officers with the goal of promoting crime-free housing, and this program had resulted in a 90% decrease in calls for service in one (1) City neighborhood when first implemented. Chief Bernat explained that the Police Department’s Sex Offender Management Unit was very active, managing more than 200 sex offenders within the City and conducting quarterly, semi-annual, and annual checks of offenders at various tier levels. In coordination with the Modern Maturity Center, the Department also participates in an “Are You Okay” program to check on homebound residents who do not respond to pre-programmed phone calls. Chief Bernat explained that the functions he had described were predominantly performed by the Department’s Community Policing Unit; however, as the recently appointed Chief of Police, it was his goal to expand this focus and to make the entire Dover Police Department a Community Police Department. He noted the importance of building rapport within the community through the development of trust and understanding, and by proving the Department’s ability to help. He expressed his opinion that if the Police Department adopted the philosophy of community policing, which promotes community, government, and police partnerships; proactive problem solving; and community engagement to address crime and community issues, the City of Dover would be a better place. Chief Bernat stated that a good community policing officer is a good manager, relates well with the public, and is a good problem solver. He stated that every police officer should have these characteristics and that he intended for all Dover officers to be trained in this regard. Noting the diversity of the City’s population, he stated that the Police Department could benefit from diversity training.

Page 114

SPECIAL DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 13, 2014 PAGE 2 Chief Bernat informed members that he was promoted to the position of Chief of Police on April 4, 2014, and that during the month of April 2014, police detectives handled a total of 191 cases and cleared 185, resulting in a clearance rate of 96.9%. Seven (7) burglaries were investigated and four (4) were cleared, which represented a 57% clearance rate. Five (5) robberies were investigated and all were cleared. He emphasized that the City’s police force was extremely busy and working hard to make Dover a safer place to live and visit. He noted that a police force of 93 officers was currently authorized and 92 were serving. He stated that a Police Academy was scheduled for September 2014 and it was hoped that the open position would be filled at that time. Responding to Ms. Smith regarding the current perceptions of the community regarding the Dover Police Department, Chief Bernat advised members that within the past six (6) months there had been allegations of police brutality from the community. He indicated that while serving as Deputy Chief, all use of force reports came across his desk, and if he felt there were “issues,” he would launch a formal investigation or seek video of the incident. Chief Bernat explained that checks and balances are in place and when an officer uses force, a use of force report is required. The report is checked by a sergeant, reviewed by a lieutenant and captain, and finally approved by a major. In regard to the particular allegations of brutality that were brought forward, he indicated that video related to one (1) incident revealed that the allegation was not supported; however, in another case, something did occur and action was taken. In response to Ms. Smith’s inquiry with respect to the Chief’s vision regarding how the gap between the police and the community could be bridged, Chief Bernat stated his intention to be accessible and hear from the citizens, noting that having community support would empower the Police Department and vice versa. He indicated that he had met with many community members who had expressed their support. Noting that Deputy Chief Marvin Mailey was currently attending a meeting in downtown Dover, Chief Bernat stated that it was his intention to meet with business people in that area. He planned to stress to police offers that they should introduce themselves to others when walking through communities and let people know how to contact them. It was his hope that officers would act in a manner similar to the Chief of Police during their 12-hour tours, becoming familiar with their assigned areas and using crime mapping and the Regional Analysis and Information Sharing (RAIDS) Online tool. He stated that having an analyst in the Department would be helpful; however, this was not in the Department’s budget. He advised members that he would be devoting the next three (3) years to accomplishing his goals. Mr. Roach stated that he had spoken with some individuals who felt that there was a disconnect between patrol officers and the community. He stressed the importance of not regarding those who reach out to shake a police officer’s hand as criminals, noting that officers would need the community’s support in order to protect and serve them. He stated his appreciation of the previous Drug Awareness and Resistance Education (DARE) program, which allowed officers to be known by children in the community. He inquired what Chief Bernat would do to change the negative connotations that many young children have of police officers. Responding, Chief Bernat stated that he had recently spoken to members of the public who expressed appreciation for the former Police Athletic League (PAL) football program; however, federal funding for this program had “dried up.” He indicated that he had recently received information that $72,000

Page 115

SPECIAL DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 13, 2014 PAGE 3 in federal competitive grant opportunity funding was available through Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN). He spoke with Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, regarding this grant and his lieutenant called Delaware State University to see if their facilities could be used in this regard. It was their hope that, by partnering together, activities such as flag football, basketball, etc., could be offered. Chief Bernat noted that other ideas had also been discussed, such as taking underprivileged kids to baseball/basketball games to build trust. Noting that hate crimes are one (1) of the concerns that are sometimes addressed by human relations commissions, Mr. Ruane inquired if hate crimes presented a challenge in Dover. Responding, Chief Bernat stated that hate crimes were not on the forefront of problems in the community and that the only related issue that he recalled was a “nasty flyer” that had been distributed approximately two (2) years prior, and the Police Department was unable to find who had issued it. He was unable to recall a “true, horrible” hate crime. Mr. Ruane requested that the members of the DHRC be provided the list of 49 homeowners associations that Chief Bernat had referenced previously and suggested that this list be compared with information maintained by the City Clerk’s Office regarding homeowners associations. Responding, Chief Bernat stated that the Community Policing Unit prepares a quarterly report which includes a list of all associations, community concerns and what has been done to combat the problems, and he would be happy to share this information with members. In response to Mr. Ruane regarding the effectiveness of neighborhood watch programs, Chief Bernat stated that these groups empower neighbors by explaining what to look for, helping to set up phone trees and email chains, and holding regular meetings. He mentioned that the Police Department’s social media staff member was very active with these associations and helps them to establish their own blogs for communication. Mr. Roach stated that several people had indicated to him that there was an alleged hanging/suicide at Silver Lake one (1) or two (2) years ago and the City had not communicated with them regarding the resolution or outcome of this matter. Responding, Chief Bernat stated that former Police Chief James Hosfelt was very involved with this matter and that he had met with community leaders regarding the incident, who were completely satisfied with the outcome. Mr. Wilson expressed appreciation to Chief Bernat for the information provided. Scheduling of DHRC Workshop Mr. Ruane advised members that Mr. Wilson had requested him to facilitate a strategic planning workshop for commissioners to establish specific objectives and ways of implementing goals, determine time frames, and develop ways to measure results. The purpose of the workshop would be to ensure that all members are “on the same page” by developing a mission statement and a vision of where the commissioners see the DHRC going. Mr. Ruane indicated that he hoped to send a related outline for members to review.

Page 116

SPECIAL DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 13, 2014 PAGE 4 By unanimous consent, members scheduled the workshop for Tuesday, July 8, 2014 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Discussion - City Council and DHRC District Orientation Meetings Mr. Wilson encouraged members to meet with their corresponding City Council district representatives to share information and possibly alleviate problems. He requested members to obtain contact information for their respective City Council representatives from the City Clerk’s Office, schedule meetings, and email him to let him know that such meetings had taken place. Discussion - Member ID Cards Mr. Wilson advised members that it was very important that they obtain and present their DHRC identification when working in the community. He suggested that members be provided a few business cards and asked the City Clerk’s Office for assistance in this regard. Update by Chairman Wilson - City Manager Department Head Meeting of April 29, 2014 Mr. Wilson stated that he attended the City Manager Department Head meeting on April 29, 2014, since he felt that it was important that the DHRC establish a relationship with City departments and get to know the people who run the City and what they do. He advised department heads that the DHRC was seeking their input to be included in their strategic plan and requested them to inform the DHRC how they could help to alleviate staff’s concerns. Mr. Wilson stated that the Public Works Department had indicated that the DHRC could do a lot of work for them. Mr. Wilson reminded members that everything that the DHRC does should be positive. Responding to Ms. Smith regarding input received from department heads, Mr. Wilson explained that the purpose of his attending the meeting was to introduce himself and the DHRC to staff and request their input. He indicated that he was now awaiting their responses. Discussion of Future Quarterly Meeting Dates Mr. Wilson reminded members that future meetings had been scheduled for July 22, 2014; October 28, 2014; and January 27, 2015. He expressed his hope that the DHRC Strategic Plan would be in place by July 22, 2014. Commission Members’ Announcements Mr. Roach suggested that it would be helpful to obtain information regarding some of the complaints previously received by the DHRC, noting that this would be helpful in developing goals for the future. Responding, Mr. Wilson stated that previous meeting minutes would reveal these actions and were available on the City’s website. Mr. Ruane stated his recollection that the DHRC had previously completed a survey with the assistance of a former member associated with Delaware State University. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that she was not aware of such a survey but that the City Clerk’s Office could research this further. (City Clerk’s Office Note: DHRC meeting minutes reveal that the DHRC conducted a survey between 2003 and 2004, the results of which were briefly discussed during the DHRC meeting of September 22, 2004; however, official results of the survey were not provided to the City Clerk’s Office.)

SPECIAL DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 13, 2014 PAGE 5 In response to Mr. Ruane regarding the relationship between the State Human Relations Commission (SHRC) and the DHRC, and whether the SHRC would provide members with information on matters in Dover that the State might be involved in, Mr. Wilson stated he had attended a SHRC meeting during the previous week, was in communication with the Chair and Director of the SHRC, and had another meeting scheduled to meet with them. They were pleased and excited about the newly organized DHRC and would be working with the Dover Commission. Mr. Wilson stated that he hoped that there would be a good connection between the SHRC and the DHRC and that they would consult regarding the development of a complaint form. He indicated that he would like to see the SHRC participate in the upcoming workshop in case there were questions at the State level. It was his understanding that the DHRC was the only municipal human relations commission in the State of Delaware. Mr. McGiffin moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. McGiffin and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m. Cecil C.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on June 23, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza (arrived at 4:12 p.m. and departed at 4:22 p.m.), and Mr. Keller. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Dixon moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Concerns Related to Permit Parking in Front of Wesley Pre-School and Education Building During the Committee meeting of May 12, 2014, members considered concerns of the tenants of the Wesley Church Education Building and the Wesley Pre-School regarding the allocation of permit parking in the “A-Street Lot”, which was previously free two (2) hour parking. After much discussion, the Committee remanded the matter back to staff to meet with Wesley Church to consider the needs and assessments that need to be factored in regarding the Church, its school, and its mission and that staff be authorized to proceed with intermediate permit spot adjustments. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed a map of the Public Parking Plan - A-Street Lot (Attachment #1), explaining that the lot consists of 20 parking spaces: 13 designated for permit parking, six (6) for two (2) hour free parking, and one (1) for handicapped parking; and four (4) additional two (2) hour free parallel spots on the Loockerman Street side of the median. She reminded members that the original plan was to designate 13 parallel parking spaces on Loockerman Street between State and Federal Streets as permit parking, noting that there were on-street parking spaces further west on Loockerman Street adjacent to the building owned by Barros, McNamara, Malkiewicz, and Taylor, P.A. and that five (5) to eight (8) of the permit spaces could be shifted to that area. However, she stated that Barros, McNamara, Malkiewicz, and Taylor were not in favor of such a plan, explaining that their parking permit area had changed several times during the past few years. Originally, it was located in the parking lot where the new Dover Public Library is now situated, then moved to the North Street Parking Lot, then to Bradford Street, and then to their current location in front of the Wesley Education Building. It was her sense that the law firm was also concerned that no one had included them in the discussions of parking changes. Mrs. Townshend stated that she had met with Mr. Dave Casto, Chair of Trustees, Wesley United Methodist Church (UMC), and discussed the possibility of adding three (3) more permit parking spaces to be located on Loockerman Street, on the southeast corner of State and Loockerman Streets, and to allow Wesley UMC to have three (3) additional permits, which would result in a total of 16 permit parking spaces, all to be considered A-Street Lot permits. She stated that she had attempted to contact Mr. Malkiewicz’s office regarding this possibility but was unsuccessful; however, she assured members that she would be meeting with them later in the week. Mrs. Townshend explained that the allocation of these parking areas would be “a temporary fix” through the end of the calendar year and recommended that the City request that the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) find additional parking spaces to add to the inventory by expanding or

Page 119

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 2 leasing parking lots. She stated that the City could then absorb the permit parking spaces back into the main inventory and allow the A-Street Lot to become public, on-street parking, as it had been in the past. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that Barros, McNamara, Malkiewicez, and Taylor, P.A. had 13 parking permits and, after talking with Mr. Casto, she felt that the three (3) parking permits would be sufficient for the Church. Mr. Mike Malkiewicz, Barros, McNamara, Malkiewicz, and Taylor, P.A., 2 W. Loockerman Street, indicated that his paralegal had always handled parking permits for the law firm and he was aware that the City had contacted the firm last week; however, he had not discussed that conversation with his paralegal. He stated that several changes had been made to their permit parking over the last few years and it was their understanding that the last designation was to be permanent, which was relayed to the employees of the firm. Mr. Malkiewicz advised members that there were safety issues involved, explaining that several employees work late in the evening, after dark, and that the street lights were not in operation for a period of time. He requested that the City make no changes to the current parking permits provided for his law firm, noting that the current location was convenient and provided safety, and asked that Wesley Church’s needs also be accommodated. Mr. Malkiewicz noted that he had observed that there were several available parking spots on the southeast corner of State and Loockerman Streets that are vacant during the day. Mr. Casto reminded members that several programs operate out of Wesley Church’s Education Building, including the Capital School District’s Student Transition to Adult Readiness (STAR) program, The Arc of Delaware program, a clothing closet, Wesley Preschool, etc. He stated that three (3) permit parking spaces would help temporarily until the matter could be resolved, particularly since there will be another program from the Church’s District Office moving into the Education Building. He noted that the church had lost 13 spots that they previously had access to. In response to Mr. Hutchison regarding the possibility of resolving the problem at this time rather than having to make another change in January, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained the need to react to changing parking conditions downtown. He did not feel confident that the City could provide a solution at this time that would guarantee that changes would not have to be made on January 1st, unless all involved were pleased with the temporary solution, in which case City Council could request that no further changes be made. Mr. Koenig stated that any additional parking lots or leased parking was likely to be developed west of State Street, since that is where private lots are located that might be available. He explained that staff’s proposal was always meant to be temporary and that staff had been working on a reasonable solution; however, he did not feel that all businesses would be able to park exactly where they hoped. Mr. Koenig stated that the building of a central garage was being considered by the DDP. He indicated that staff would continue to move forward with the anticipation that the parking proposal would be a temporary solution, unless, once school begins in September, the businesses affected were to approach the City and indicate that their parking situation and concerns had been resolved.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 3 Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the problem originated in December 2013 when permit sales began for 2014 and it was determined that there were not enough spaces available to renew all the permits. Staff had to act relatively quickly to accommodate long-term permit holders and did not have time to consider leasing other areas. Mr. Dixon moved to recommend that staff be authorized to add three (3) additional permit parking spaces on East Loockerman Street and to provide three (3) parking permits to Wesley Church, with parking in this area to be re-evaluated in October and, in the meantime, to work with the DDP to expand the parking inventory. The motion was seconded by Mr. Keller and carried by a vote of three (3) yes (Hutchison, Dixon, and Keller) and one (1) no (Perza). Request for Waiver of Public Street Frontage Requirement - Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section E - Lots (Dover Mall) During the Committee meeting of May 27, 2014, members considered a request of Simon Property Group, owner of the Dover Mall, L.P. at 1365 North DuPont Highway, for a waiver of the public street frontage requirement. The owner proposed to create three (3) parcels of land from the existing 149.3225+/- acre parcel of the Dover Mall. The property is zoned SC-3 (Regional Shopping Center Zone), and a portion is subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area and is located on the east side of North DuPont Highway and south of but not adjacent to Rustic Lane. Members were advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested waiver, subject to inclusion of the necessary easements listed in the Development Advisory Committee Report. The Committee noted that the applicant was not present, and deferred action on the request until the applicant could be present to answer questions. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that, as proposed, Lots 1 and 2 would not have frontage on a public street; therefore, in order to create lots, without frontage on a public street, which is required by the Zoning Ordinance, a waiver by City Council would be required in accordance with Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section E - Lots. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that Lot 1 would consist of 53.1704 acres and Lot 2 would consist of 30.7046 acres, and that both lots were owned by the Dover Mall. Mr. John Paradee, Prickett, Jones, & Elliott, emphasized for the record that the owners were not proposing any residential use as part of this project. Mr. Gregg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, explained that the plan was to create the two (2) lots to allow consideration of development options. The current proposal was to develop approximately 289,000 sq. ft. of retail expansion in the areas to the rear of the Dover Mall property. He assured members that these subdivisions would be for commercial entities, which would be allowable by the zoning code. Mr. Moore stated that two (2) other lots in the area were previously created through the same type of action by former members of City Council, and explained that these lots were

Page 121

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 4 currently occupied by Boscov’s and JCPenney and do not have road frontage. It was his feeling that those requests were approved because the loop road around the Dover Mall is effectively a public access way for the Mall and is protected by easements of the owners that allow that roadway to be maintained as a public access way. Mr. Moore stated that the two (2) new lots would gain a portion of their access from the loop road and approval of the request would not set a precedent, since the precedent had already been set by allowing the Boscov’s and JCPenney stores. Responding to Mr. Keller, Mr. Moore stated that the City would not incur costs for providing public utilities, explaining that sewer options had been discussed with the City and installation of sewers would be developer driven. He advised members that the actual details of the sewer would be shown on any development plan submitted; however, at the City’s urging, the studies had been conducted to ensure that there would be no issues with providing sewer to the parcels. Mr. Moore reiterated that all costs involved with the project would be assumed by the developer. Mr. Keller moved to recommend approval of the requested waiver, subject to inclusion of the necessary easements listed in the DAC Report, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. Update - Dover High School Construction Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that she had written a letter to the Capital School District (CSD), to make sure that construction of the new Dover High School was proceeding quickly and that there was a clear plan to complete all work by the time school starts. Since that letter was sent, she stated that several meetings had been held, including a meeting between the CSD and the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) regarding the east entrance, west entrance, sidewalks, and High-Intensity Activated CrossWalK (HAWK) signal. Mrs. Townshend stated that the day following that meeting, there was a meeting with CSD and EDiS staff. She also attended an on-site meeting to coordinate the activities of the sidewalk project and the east entrance with the contractors, which was very productive. DelDOT had indicated that each of these projects was equally important and needed to be completed before school starts; therefore, all parties involved need to work together. Mrs. Townshend stated that the Dover High monthly coordination meeting was held and that the CSD was working with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on a “punch list” in regard to sediment and stormwater. Mrs. Townshend indicated that the building was in good shape and the site was coming together and, although there was a lot more work to be done, she had been provided with construction schedules and was being included in updates. In addition, she stated that she and Dr. Michael Thomas, CSD Superintendent, were having a weekly phone conversation so that if any issues arise, they can be resolved immediately. It was her belief that construction would be completed before school is scheduled to open, although she indicated that “it will be close.” Mr. Keller commended Mrs. Townshend for the thorough job she had done regarding this project.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on June 23, 2014 at 5:02 p.m. with Councilman Perza presiding in the absence of Chairwoman Williams (arrived at 5:06 p.m.). Members present were Mr. Slavin, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon and Mr. Hutchison. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Proposed Ordinance #2014-15 Amending Chapter 110 - Utilities, Article III - Water Service, Division 3 - Water Impact Fees, Section 110-207 - Establishment of Equivalent Dwelling Units and Article IV - Sanitary Sewer Service, Division 3 - Wastewater Collection Impact Fees, Section 110-282 - Establishment of Equivalent Dwelling Units Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2014-15, which would amend Chapter 110 - Utilities, Article III - Water Service, Division 3 - Water Impact Fees, Section 110-207 - Establishment of Equivalent Dwelling Units and Article IV - Sanitary Sewer Service, Division 3 - Wastewater Collection Impact Fees, Section 110-282 - Establishment of Equivalent Dwelling Units. He advised members that Chapter 110 - Utilities, Articles III and IV currently have a maximum cap of 100 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) per certificate of occupancy. Mr. Koenig stated that the maximum cap was intended to encourage business expansion; however, the existing prescriptive cap had placed the City at a negotiating disadvantage in recent situations, such as the Garrison Energy Center (Calpine). Mr. Koenig explained that the proposed amendment would remove the current impact fee cap of 100 EDUs per certificate of occupancy. Additionally the proposed amendment would provide City Council with the ability to reduce the maximum number of EDUs for large development projects; however, the applicant must demonstrate their economic benefit to the City before City Council will reduce the maximum number of EDUs to as low as 100 EDUs. Mr. Koenig indicated that the amendment would provide the City leverage in negotiating with businesses. As an example, he stated that the water system for the Garrison Energy Center (Calpine) included an elevated storage tank, at a cost of $4.2M, and additional infrastructure improvements. With the current impact fees, Calpine will contribute approximately $210,000 for this project; however, if the caps had been negotiated, he stated that the City may have been able to recover the total $4.2M. Mr. Koenig stated that, to his recollection, the maximum caps were instituted when the City was considering the expansion of Proctor & Gamble, which would have resulted in a multi-million dollar impact fee. He stated that at that time no system improvements, such as a water tower, pump station, etc., were required of the City; the expansion would have resulted only in an impact on the system. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig indicated his anticipation that the proposed amendment would result in additional revenues for the City since it would provide the City more leverage to collect a higher fee than currently prescribed by Code. Mr. Koenig stated that the proposed amendment would not affect the current block under construction for the Calpine project since permits had

Page 125

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 2 already been issued. He advised members that, under the current Code, if a second block were constructed by Calpine, EDUs would be capped at 100 and if there were any costs for the system upgrade, the City would bear those costs. In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated that the caps were initially instituted for economic development reasons. Staff recommended adoption of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2014-15, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Mr. Blakeman moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:10 p.m. Adam M.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on June 23, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Slavin presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:04 p.m.), Mr. Hare (arrived at 6:05 p.m.), Mr. Shevock, and Mr. Sudler. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Hutchison, and Mrs. Williams. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Presentation - Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) (Ken Abraham) Mr. Ken Abraham, 430 Kings Highway, Apt. 414, addressed members regarding drug policies and laws. He advised members that he is a member of the Speakers Bureau for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and that he enjoyed working as a prosecutor for approximately 10 years in Dover, then moved to Florida, went into business, and returned to Dover. He stated that approximately seven (7) years ago he lost everything to drugs, despite having had the best parents and a wonderful childhood. Since he could not change the past, he stated that he was trying to turn the negative in his life into a positive, noting that it was a learning experience. He stated that, in addition to starting a non-profit organization eight (8) months ago, he gives presentations to rotary clubs, youth groups, etc., as well as individuals such legislators and ministers. Mr. Abraham indicated his understanding that City Council does not set or control drug policy; however, he wanted members to be made aware of the issues and suggested that the City adopt a resolution encouraging State legislators to change the drug laws to some extent. As an example, he suggested that legislators could be encouraged to adopt medical marijuana and to legalize marijuana. Mr. Abraham encouraged members to read the “After Prohibition” brochure issued by LEAP, explaining that it addresses many issues, problems, concerns, and questions. He stated that the material indicated quite emphatically that both addiction and crime decrease when drugs are legalized or decriminalized, contrary to the belief held by most that addiction and crime will increase if these changes are made. Referring to Colorado’s experiment with marijuana, which he stated had proven to be a great success, he indicated that, although there are problems with the legalization/decriminalization of drugs, the benefits far outweigh the problems. He stated that Colorado was making a substantial amount of tax revenue and crime and addiction rates had decreased. Mr. Abraham advised members that the illicit drug market was approximately a $300 billion per year business and questioned if this business, with the whirlpool of crime that swirls around it, should be run by drug kingpins, thugs, and hoodlums or if the State should legalize, regulate, and tax drugs. He reminded members that the country started prohibition with alcohol and it did not take long to realize that this was a mistake. It was Mr. Abraham’s belief that alcohol did not create Al Capone; prohibition created Al Capone, just as the prohibition of drugs in America creates a whirlpool of crime. He stated that, according to studies, 84%-90% of all crime is drug related and over 90% of property crimes are drug related (theft for the purpose of purchasing drugs). Mr. Abraham expressed his belief that changing the laws to legalize and regulate drugs would decrease those percentages substantially.

Page 127

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 2 Mr. Abraham explained that regulation simply means responsible people making responsible decisions and that in Colorado children were not standing in line to buy drugs. He stated that LEAP’s position was that all drugs should be decriminalized, legalized, regulated, and taxed; that there is a difference between hard and soft drugs; and a different approach should be taken for each. Mr. Abraham stated that the bottom line is that drug addiction is a health problem and that more and more individuals are realizing that addicts should be treated rather than locked up in prisons. As a former prosecutor, Mr. Abraham stated that he had seen crime victims every day and explained that when addicts are treated, future crime victims are prevented, the recidivism rate is reduced, and the revolving door to prison is slowed down. As mentioned in the material provided, he stressed the importance of advertising, explaining that any legalization and regulation of drugs needed to be accompanied by advertising of the dangers of drugs. Referring to the situation in Colorado, he stated that it was expected that the State would gain $150M in tax revenue and $40M was planned to be spent on rehabilitation centers, treatment, and an advertisement campaign warning about the dangers of drugs. He noted that the use of cigarettes by teens between the ages of 12 to 17 was cut in half from 2002 through 2012 due to advertising of the dangers of cigarettes. Noting that most of what had been addressed was beyond the scope of City Council, Mr. Anderson questioned what could be done to encourage rehabilitation on a local level and if any barriers were known. Responding, Mr. Abraham stated that he was not aware of any barriers, such as zoning issues. He felt that there was a need to increase public awareness of the need for treatment and rally those that have the funds and means to provide effective treatment. In response to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Abraham stated that he was not aware of any statistical analysis or comparison relating to the implementation of such a program in an area similar in size to Dover, Delaware. However, he stated that the general principles and results are the same wherever there had been a change in policy implemented and did not feel that the size of the area would make a difference. Regarding the difference in the results based on “hard” and “soft” drugs, Mr. Abraham stated that in those jurisdictions that have legalized all drugs, including “hard” drugs, the results have been the same - a decrease in addiction rates, a reduction in health problems, and a decreased crime rate. He advised members that an agency known as DrugFree.org, in New York, recently took over the Montana Meth Project, which dramatically reduced methamphetamine use, drug lab busts, trips to the emergency room, etc. in about eight (8) states. Advertisements for the Montana Meth Project include real people who tell their stories of the effects of drugs on them. Mr. Abraham advised members that DrugFree.org will develop an advertising campaign for any jurisdiction. He explained that there are two (2) groups of people: those who do not use drugs and those that do, and that the advertising works differently for those groups. For those who do not use drugs, the advertising dramatically reduces the number of people who are inclined to use drugs. Advertising treatment dramatically reduces the number of people already using drugs, once the policies are changed in criminal law. Mr. Abraham stated that the information provides facts regarding the effects that drugs have on human brains, explaining that these sinister drugs release

Page 128

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 3 a chemical in the brain that gives pleasure and is released to such an extent that, as described by a psycho-forensic evaluator with the public defender’s office, the brain is “hijacked” by overwhelming one’s sense of judgement, moral values, awareness of right and wrong, etc. It just makes the user want more of the drugs. The Committee took no action regarding this matter. Expiration of Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Loan Guarantee Extension During their Regular Meeting of June 10, 2013, members of City Council approved an extension of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) loan guarantee for a period of one (1) year effective July 1, 2013 on the loan between PNC Bank and the DDP. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed information prepared by Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, regarding the DDP’s negotiation of new terms for the PNC Loan collateralized by real estate on Governors Avenue (former “Acme” Property). He reminded members that City Council had provided the City’s guarantee on the loan since March 2008 and that the guarantee was extended for one year, effective July 1, 2013. He stated that the approximate dollar amount of the loan was $1.3M. Mr. Koenig stated that in the renegotiations of this loan by Mr. Gerald Street, representative of the DDP, it was hoped that, at some point, the City could be released from the loan; however, due to the current economic conditions, PNC requested the continuation of the City’s guarantee through the term of the loan. He indicated that the reason for this request was due to: 1) the loan to value (LTV) of greater than 80%; and 2) the marketability of the “Acme” property, value, strength of tenants, and lease stream. The bank had agreed to extend the “Acme” loan to March 1, 2017 and begin amortizing the loan based on a 20-year amortization. Mr. Koenig stated that the loan included a 3.75% interest rate. PNC will require a principal and interest payment, and at the end of the initial term, PNC would renegotiate the interest rate over the balance of the loan term. Staff recommended approval of the extension of the Downtown Dover Partnership loan guarantee with PNC Bank through March 1, 2017. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that the initial amount of the loan in 2008 was $1.3M and that payments had been made only on interest since that time. He stated that for the next three (3) years, principal and interest payments would be made based on a 3.75% interest rate. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig stated that the DDP would make the payment to PNC from monies collected by the DDP from the leasing tenants. He stated that the guarantee appears on the City’s balance sheet as a potential debt; however, this debt would be incurred only if the note were called and the DDP exhausted their funds. He stated that it would continue to be reflected as a commitment of the City as it had been since 2008.

Page 129

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 4 Noting that only interest was paid on the loan, Mrs. Williams questioned the use of monies collected from the tenants. Responding, Mr. Gregg Moore, President, DDP, stated that the tenants at the Acme site had been making their payments to the DDP and that those monies had been used by the DDP to make interest payments to PNC. Since an interest-only loan was negotiated, all additional proceeds were used for other downtown projects. He stated that the DDP had been actively marketing the site and that its sale would allow for the loan to be paid in full. However, he assured members that enough rent was coming from the two (2) tenants to cover the principal and interest payments. He stated that this payment had been included in the DDP budget which was provided to City Council. Responding to Mr. Sudler regarding the DDP’s top two (2) priority projects for which these additional funds were used, Mr. Moore indicated that, in accordance with the current terms of the loan, the DDP was not required to make any principal payment; therefore, only interest payments were made. Since the DDP was actively in the market to sell the property and had a full price sales contract (which did not go through), the DDP’s position was to use the least amount of money required and use any additional funds for other purposes in the downtown area, such as First Friday, Farmer’s Market, or marketing for other downtown functions. He stated that the monies were not provided to any given project and that there were not two (2) particular projects that accessed those funds. He explained that the proceeds were used by the DDP for their overall mission, which is to improve the culture and revitalize the downtown area; therefore, all six (6) of the DDP’s committees and missions draw from the additional monies. He noted that marketing the downtown is something that each of the committees includes in their budget; therefore, this would probably be the biggest use of those funds. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend extension of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) loan guarantee with PNC Bank through March 1, 2017, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Proceeds from Sale of Real Estate Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed information prepared by Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, regarding proceeds from the sale of real estate. Mr. Koenig reminded members that City Council approved the sale of Garrison Oak Technical Park Lot 12 (10.684 acres) for $1,000 per acre, in accordance with the City’s economic development goals. He stated that the City’s net proceeds from the sale of Lot 12 were $10,623, explaining that the contract sales price was $10,864, less the seller settlement charges of $241. He stated that the City’s current Real Estate Disposition Policy does not specify to which account the net proceeds should be credited; therefore, staff recommended that the credit be applied to the Capital Asset Reserve and that a formal policy be developed for future transactions. Mr. Koenig noted that, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), accounting for this transaction will require the recordation of a $44,140.65 loss on the sale of the fixed asset since the City was awarded a $2M grant from the State of Delaware for the purchase of

Page 130

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 5 the Garrison Oak Technical Park and the City subsequently resold the property at a dollar value that was less than the per acre value of the original transaction. The City recorded the purchase of the land (381.8425 acres) at $1,933,277.16, or $5,063.02 per acre. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig stated that the grant was awarded 10 or more years ago; therefore, he did not anticipate that the State would request that the grant monies be refunded. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding whether the City intended to sell or lease lots at the Technology Park, Mr. Koenig stated that there was currently a lease for the Garrison Energy Center tract and that the Solar Park also had a lease. He stated that negotiations for the sale or lease of the property would be dependent upon the needs of the organization that is interested in a tract. It was his opinion that it would be best for the City to sell the properties to avoid long-term liability or maintenance, should the property be abandoned. He stated that the current leases were made prior to his tenure as City Manager and that most discussions now involved the potential sale of properties. Mr. Hare questioned if anyone was actively marketing the Garrison Oak Technical Park. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that it is known locally that the property is for sale; however, no funds had been used for marketing the property, nor had advertisements been placed in the Wall Street Journal. He assured members that the State Economic Development Office was aware of properties for sale at the site, and stated his belief that funds included in the City’s Economic Development Office’s budget for advertisement were limited. Mr. Slavin suggested that the Economic Development Director and/or the Mayor could better advise members with regard to the marketing of the Garrison Oak Technical Park. Mr. Hutchison stated that the City had a very strong working relationship with the State of Delaware and Kent County Economic Development Offices, as well as the congressional leadership team. As a result, in terms of advertising, it was well known that the Garrison Park was for sale. He stated that if the City were to continue to be in the economic development business, members needed to realize that in order to be successful, there would be a need to make concessions, as that is what economic development does. He explained that if the City wanted jobs and opportunities, it would be necessary to make concessions and if that was not desired, the City should get out of the economic development business. Mr. Hare stated that, although the State may be marketing the property, he felt that the City should take a more aggressive approach in marketing not only the Garrison Oak property but the entire City of Dover. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation that the net proceeds from the sale of governmental fund real estate be credited to the Capital Asset Reserve for future capital projects. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

Page 131

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2014 PAGE 6 Proposed Financial Reforms Mr. Slavin reminded members that during the June 11, 2014 Budget Hearings, he proposed a series of 14 financial reforms to be addressed over the next six (6) to nine (9) months that would assist in shaping the City’s Budget for FY 2015/2016. He stated that the proposed reforms were clustered into four (4) separate areas, as follows: 1) public safety; 2) compensation policies; 3) property tax governance; and 4) restrictions on uses of appropriations. He requested that members consider the public safety area first and that staff be requested to review the reforms, develop recommendations, and provide information on any financial gap that may result. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Slavin stated that the review would allow members to identify whether there was a need to create policy, ordinances, or Charter changes to implement any changes that may result from those discussions. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m. Timothy A. Slavin Chairman TAS/TM/js/dd/jg S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS-PRESENTATIONS-ATT&EXH\Committee-Minutes\2014\06-23-2014 LF&A.wpd

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: City Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: 10 DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Tax Assessor DATE SUBMITTED: 7/14/2014 PREPARED BY: City Assessor, Cheryl A. Russell SUBJECT: Revaluation Services for the 2015 Assessment REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT:N/A APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller EXHIBITS: #1) Cost Proposal EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $93,200 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $108,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Assessor/Page 263 Acct #110-1300-513.30-31 IMETABLE: Contract will be signed following Council approval. Project to begin immediately; ending by Spring 2015. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding the Proposal for Revaluation Services to Tyler Technologies for the amount of $93,200, plus any additional overage fees. (see Price and Billing Summary – attached) BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The purpose of this City-wide revaluation is to maintain value equity and uniformity of real property values in the City of Dover. This revaluation fulfills our obligation pursuant to Chapter 102, Section 102-1 of the City Code to have a reassessment conducted by an outside mass appraisal company for 2015. Specifically: Sec. 102-1. Valuation and assessment. Section 47 of the Charter provides that an impartial valuation and assessment of all real property within the city may be conducted by the city assessor or assessors. The council may also direct that in lieu of the assessment and valuation by the city assessor, a reassessment and revaluation may be done by the assessor or assessors or an outside mass appraisal company or a consortium of appraisers chosen by the council. Commencing with the year 2010 and every fifth year thereafter, unless otherwise directed, the revaluation and reassessment of all real property may be conducted, under the supervision of the assessor or in conjunction with the assessor, by an outside mass appraisal company or a consortium of appraisers chosen by the council. The mass appraisal company or consortium of appraisers shall be licensed to conduct business in the State of Delaware and the City of Dover and shall employ appraisers who are licensed by the Delaware Division of Professional Regulations. All property shall be valued as to its status; as of its ownership; as of its current market value as of the January 1 assessment date and shall reflect fair market value. A request for Proposal was advertised and sent to nine revaluation companies. Tyler Technologies is the only vendor who has responded to our request. Tyler Technologies has helped conduct City-wide revaluations in the past and the Assessor’s office is currently utilizing software from Tyler Technologies.

Page 191

The proposal by Tyler Technologies states that they will conduct a City-wide revaluation; wherein they will utilize our existing information. All properties have been visited by City of Dover Staff to reduce the cost of the City-wide revaluation; and all permits are current. Due to this effort, Tyler will not have fieldwork associated with this project; which is reflected in both the price and the duration of the proposed project. The City of Dover will be responsible for all printing and mailings; which is also reflected in the price of the project. Tyler Technologies will conduct informal hearings and five (5) days of support before the City of Dover Board of Assessment Appeals. Additional support beyond the five (5) days will cost additional money. A monthly Status Report will be supplied to the Assessor’s Office from Tyler Technologies, which will be provided to the City Council via the Assessor’s Office Monthly Report, for your review. The original BID was for $125,300, which included their involvement with mailing and printing. After a cost analysis was completed, the cost of printing and mailing the documents ourselves was a cost savings of approximately $17,300. Additional monies were requested in the Assessor budget (110-1300-513.20-23) for the extra printing and mailing costs associated with this project of $14,800.
