Council staff members present were Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, and Mrs. McDowell. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION OF MAY 14, 2018 - RESOLUTION NO. 2018-03 During the Annual Council meeting of May 14, 2018, Resolution No. 2018-03 was referred to the Council Committee of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee due to questions regarding the public hearing requirements being met. Mr. Anderson moved for reconsideration of Resolution No. 2018-03, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2018-03 APPROVING THE 2018 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ANNUAL ACTION PLAN Mr. Anderson moved for adoption of Resolution No. 2018-03, seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Anderson thanked Mrs. Tracy Harvey for the work that she had done, noting that he was grateful to get some important questions answered because they are very important for maintaining their federal grants and they were not available in time for the meeting. Mr. Anderson stated that he had a concern for next year when the Council looks at this particular block grant, noting that changes have occurred on the ground that may be beneficial for them to look at, for instance, when Dover or Kent County has its own housing development corporation, they may want to make sure that some of this money goes there from the housing portion, not out of the social action portion. Mr. Anderson suggested that they reopen this process to make sure that they have a chance to fund the new, local corporation that is being funded. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Harvey advised that they cannot fund other projects that have not been allocated in a multi-year grant. She noted that the new grant funding process would begin after 2019. Responding to Mayor Christansen, Mr. Anderson advised that a local community housing and development corporation was being formed from the Mayor’s task force on homelessness. Mayor Christiansen advised that any recommendations from the taskforce would have to have approval by City Council, including the housing corporation. The motion for adoption of Resolution No. 2018-03 was adopted, as follows:

ALLEN Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the Petition to Annex and Rezone property. The Planning Commission recommended annexation of the property with the zoning designation of C-4 (Highway Commercial), as submitted. Public Hearing - Zoning Classification Members considered a request for rezoning of property proposed for annexation located at 3074 North DuPont Highway, consisting of 0.69+/- acres, owned by Jesse L. Allen. The property is currently zoned BG - General Business District (Kent County zoning classification) and the proposed zoning is C-4 - Highway Commercial (City of Dover zoning classification). Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that utilities would not be immediately available for this property; however, it has onsite services, which, assuming they are in acceptable working order, as approved by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), will be the source of immediate service. He noted that there are no immediate plans by the City to extend water and sewer. Mr. Hugg advised that this property does have the potential for access to public water through a Tidewater Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) that is about 600 feet away. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that there is a large enclave of property immediately surrounding this property, on the east side of Route 13, that are all in the county and some properties immediately south on Route 13 and the properties that are involved with Wilmington University on the north are in the City. Mr. Anderson asked if Mr. Hugg thought that spot annexation was a positive, particularly in regard to trash service, road maintenance, and other services. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that he believed

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 4 that, in the long run, annexation of all of the enclaves in the City are in the best interest of the City, both in terms of efficiency of service and response to fire, police, and other kinds of activities. He noted that, at this moment, this is the only applicant seeking annexation, which is a voluntary action by an applicant. Mr. Hugg advised that there is no basis in this application for the City to take any adverse action and that the property owner has met all of the requirements for annexation and is fully aware of the limitations of water and sewer service, and what other conditions may apply. He stated that, in terms of immediate impacts on the City, the property fronts on US 13, which is a State-maintained road and he suspected that the public safety and life safety services, if needed, were probably first provided by the City of Dover, whether or not the property is in City limits. Mr. Hugg stated that he did not think there would be a significant impact on other public services and advised that this property is already a City of Dover electric customer. A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 3074 North DuPont Highway, owned by Jesse L. Allen. Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. Mr. Jesse Allen, 736 North Bradford Street, advised that he was the property owner and that he was seeking annexation just to get some sewer and water. He stated that he thought that if his property were annexed, other people would also come in to the City. Mr. Allen stated that a Dunkin Donuts was being built right down the street from him. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Slavin declared the public hearing closed. Adoption of Annexation Resolution No. 2018-06 Members considered Annexation Resolution No. 2018-06 for property located at 3074 North DuPont Highway, owned by Jesse L. Allen. By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Cole, Council, by a unanimous roll call vote, adopted Resolution No. 2018-06, as follows: APPROVING THE INCLUSION OF AN AREA WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF DOVER. WHEREAS, the Charter of the City of Dover authorizes Council to extend the boundaries of the said City in accordance with Title 22, Chapter 1, Section 101 of the Delaware Code (22 Del.C.§ 101); and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council deem it to be in the best interest of the City of Dover to include an area contiguous to the present City limits, and hereinafter more particularly described, within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, the Charter of the City of Dover provides that if an annexation is petitioned by all owners of all property considered for annexation, no election shall be required.

Allen (Tax Parcel: ED-00-057.02-01-04.00-000; Planning Reference: AX-18-01; Council District: 3) ADOPTED: JULY 9, 2018 COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JUNE 26, 2018 The Council Committee of the Whole met on June 26, 2018 at 5:00 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis (arrived at 5:54 p.m.), Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce (arrived at 5:05 p.m.), Mr. Hare (arrived at 5:50 p.m., departed at 6:25 p.m., and returned at 6:26 p.m.), and Mr. Lindell. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for ethics training and their Committee meetings were Mr. Garfinkel (Safety Advisory and Transportation), Mrs. Doyle and Ms. Scarborough (Utility), and Mr. Shevock and Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement) and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation) were absent. Other Committee, Commission, or Board members present for ethics training were Ms. Tricia Arndt, Mr. James Burcham, Mrs. Lisa Enright, Dr. Cherritta Matthews, Mr. Charles Martin, Mrs. Nancy Shevock, Mr. Jonathan Street, and Mr. Robert Wetherall. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE UTILITY COMMITTEE Ethics Training Ms. Deborah Moreau, Commission Counsel, Delaware Public Integrity Commission, reviewed a presentation entitled “Ethics in Government.” Mr. Sudler thanked Ms. Moreau for providing clarity regarding the Ethics Commission. He asked how the public could be assured that the Ethics Commission members are competent in efficiently interpreting and administering the ethics codes defined by State or City statute. He asked if there is training for each member or whether their resumes are reviewed and assessed by the State to determine if they have some knowledge of the law and how to apply it to situations for valid judgments. Responding, Ms. Moreau stated that it is up to the City’s Commission to set up some type of training program if it is deemed necessary for incoming members. She explained that knowledge of the law should not be the requirement for every member, noting that, in order to have perspectives from all angles, it is

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 8 important to have a well-rounded commission, which would include lay people and lawyers. Ms. Moreau advised that, on their committee, they have a couple of attorneys, a farmer, a retiree, and it is a mix of people from all three (3) counties. She stated that she thinks it is important to have people who can bounce ideas off of each other and see different perspectives. Mr. Sudler stated that he agreed with Ms. Moreau to a certain extent; however, he expressed his opinion that members should have some knowledge of how to interpret and apply the code, to be able to fully participate and provide good input, separate from just general knowledge. Ms. Moreau noted that their new members come in wide-eyed and a little intimidated but, when they sit down and go through the process, they learn from the other members. She explained that it is really good to go through the process with other people who know what they are doing, and then they take their cues from there and if they have a different take on it, then they have a different take. Ms. Moreau stated that you have to learn this process by doing it. Mr. Sudler asked Ms. Moreau what her professional opinion is in regard to the City’s Ethics Commission not being under the jurisdiction of the State Ethics Commission, and what negative encounters cities have confronted having their own ethics committees, when it comes to rulings or judgments. In response, Ms. Moreau stated that she does not have a professional opinion about whether a city should have their own ethics committee or not. She noted that sometimes cities are not as enthusiastic about making sure their committees are fully staffed, for example, approximately six (6) months ago, there was an article in the News Journal that the Wilmington Ethics Department had dissipated and no one had even noticed. Ms. Moreau explained that this is a danger when cities have their own committees and it is important to ensure that someone stays on top of it and keeps track to make sure they have a full complement of members. Mr. Slavin thanked everyone for attending and expressed his appreciation to Ms. Moreau for providing the training for the City. Ms. Moreau thanked Mr. Slavin for inviting her, noting that she had provided nine (9) sessions and she could tell that people did not know a whole lot about it, so it was good to get the word out. Mr. Sudler asked for some examples of non-monetary, personal gain that may give an appearance of impropriety. Responding, Ms. Moreau noted that two (2) examples were the employee who used their Delaware Justice Information System (DELJIS) access to look up individuals’ information for their personal use, and the guy using the HIV positive list for his own personal benefit to provide dating lists to his friends and neighbors. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Lewis presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 9 Delaware Bicycle Council Grant for a Feasibility Study - Multi-Purpose Path Linking Mallard Pond Park to Fox Hall West Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, advised members that, in May, the City received an announcement of grant availability from the Delaware Bicycle Council for projects that yield high and visible impacts within the community. She stated that the granting agency expects to award a total of $20,000 in this grant cycle. Mrs. Cyr explained that the invitation letter indicated that requests for assistance in advancing new projects such as, but not limited to, pathways, protected bike lanes, and bicycle streets will be considered and will support project ideas that expand existing cycling infrastructure, filled gaps, and address obstacles and safety hazards. She stated that the intent of the grant is to provide cycling infrastructure in communities and the project can be a missing link between existing facilities or the project needs to be completed to avoid a hazard or is part of a master plan. Mrs. Cyr informed members that the first grant in 2015 was awarded to Bridgeville and was used to complete the design of a path. She stated that the deadline for submitting the grant is July 31, 2018, and the City’s Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee considered this opportunity during its meeting of June 19, 2018. Mrs. Cyr reminded members that the City’s 2015 Pedestrian Plan recommended the installation of a new sidewalk or trail connecting Fox Hall West and Mallard Pond. She noted that the recommendation stated that, Fox Hall West and Mallard Pond are residential communities in the west part of Dover, comprising nearly 200 single-family lots. The communities only have access from Kenton Road. Fox Hall West is only about 1/4 mile north of Route 8. However, the community does not have vehicular or pedestrian access to Route 8, so all trips traveling to Route 8 must be made via Kenton Road. Due to the lack of sidewalks along Kenton Road, it can be safely assumed that these trips are almost exclusively done with a motor vehicle, as opposed to walking or riding a bike. The new Dover High School, which opened in the summer of 2014, is located along Route 8 in close proximity to these communities. However, due to the lack of pedestrian access to Route 8, a trip from the southern end of Fox Hall West to the new school is 2.2 miles, traveling along Kenton Road. If there were direct pedestrian access to Route 8 though, this trip would be reduced to 0.8 mile. The City of Dover owns 2 parcels of land in between Route 8 and Fox Hall West, comprising 8.7 acres of open space (including Mallard Pond Park). It is recommended that the City of Dover evaluate the feasibility of constructing a bicycle/pedestrian trail connection from Fox Hall West (via Pebble Valley Drive) to Marsh Creek Lane, as a means of providing a direct non-motorized connection to Route 8. A trail connection could also be made to an existing sidewalk that connects the Mallard Pond community with the Mallard Pond Park. Providing direct pedestrian access to Route 8 would eliminate vehicular trips along Kenton Road, provide

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 10 additional recreational access for area residents, and improve access to the new high school. Marsh Creek Lane is just east of the HAWK pedestrian-activated traffic signal that was installed in the summer of 2014. Marsh Creek Lane has sidewalks along its entire length. Mr. Eddie Diaz, Planner I, reviewed a map entitled “Proposed Mallard Pond Trail Link”. The Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee recommended that the City apply for the grant and that Mrs. Cyr inquire on a quote price of conducting the feasibility study, to be included in the presentation to Council. Mr. Neil asked whether there was support from the neighborhoods for this park. Responding, Mrs. Cyr explained that, in anticipation of this discussion regarding the possibility of installing a multi-use pathway, staff sent a notice out to all of the neighborhoods and invited the neighbors to attend the meetings to provide input to members of the Subcommittee. She advised that one (1) member of the public, Colonel Thomas Dix, Retired, attended the Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee meeting on June 19, 2018 and provided input. Mrs. Cyr noted that the meeting notice was published on the City’s website and mailed to residents. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised members that all meeting are published on the City’s website; however, in an effort to increase public awareness, the notice regarding the June 19, 2018 Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee meeting was also publicized on Facebook. She stated that, since this area is in the First Council District, staff also sent the flyer to First District Councilmen Lindell and Polce, for them to provide to all the homeowners’ associations (HOA’s) and residents that are part of their constituent groups with which they communicate. Mrs. Cyr noted that Colonel Dix, Retired, stated that he supported the project for the multipurpose path; however, he did not support a feasibility study to do it, he just thought it should be done. Mrs. Cyr stated that the Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee recommended applying for this available grant funding for the purpose of a feasibility study to explore the best route for such a multi-use trail, the requirements for the construction of such a route and the estimated cost of such a project. Mr. Anderson noted that this would involve City and HOA property and asked if any feedback was received from the HOA’s regarding their willingness to give these easements. Responding, Mrs. Cyr advised that no feedback was received from any of the HOA’s. Colonel Thomas Dix, Retired, Independence Boulevard, Bicentennial Village, stated that it was his understanding that the Fox Hall West HOA had been dissolved.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 11 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. James Hutchison, Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee Chair, advised that the opportunity to receive feedback had not been exhausted. He explained that holding advertised meetings and soliciting feedback from the different residents of the area would be a part of the process of the feasibility study, for which they wanted to apply for the grant. Mr. Lindell asked what the estimated cost of the feasibility study would be. In response, Mrs. Cyr stated that she received responses from three (3) different entities regarding the estimated cost and the responses were widely disparate. She advised that the low estimate was between $8,000 to $10,000, and the high estimate was between $40,000 to $50,000. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mrs. Cyr stated that this was not currently included in the City’s budget and staff was not anticipating asking for additional funding from the City for it. Mr. Sudler stated that the Heatherfield HOA was currently inactive but looking to be active. He noted that Councilman Polce had met with them last year, and urged him to reach out to those individuals to get a pulse on the sentiment of something like this coming through Heatherfield. In response to Mayor Christiansen, Mrs. Cyr stated that they did not currently have any alternative funding sources for a possible study, in case this grant is not awarded to the City. As the Chairman of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Mayor Christiansen suggested that she may want to apply to the MPO for funding, if this grant does not come to fruition. He explained that the MPO has funding available for alternative studies for multi-modal transport. Mr. Hutchison advised members that it was Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee’s intention to cover the complete cost of the feasibility study with the grant. He stated that they did not intend to try to undertake the study if they cannot get all of the funding from the grant. Mr. Slavin stated that he was fully supportive of these efforts. He noted that these trails are currently being built all across Delaware and have really improved the lives of many people. Mr. Slavin informed members that a lot of these activities have been done in New Caste and Sussex Counties and it is extraordinary to see what’s happening. He explained that it is true that when you build it, people will come out and use it, and it will not just be bicyclists and runners, it will be people who just want to take advantage of a safe passage to take a walk at any given time of the day. Mr. Slavin expressed thanks to the Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee for bringing this item forward. Responding to Mr. Polce, Mrs. Cyr stated that there is not a match requirement or component to the grant.

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 12 Mr. Polce thanked Mrs. Cyr, noting that this is his backyard and he walks his three (3) dogs around this area nonstop. He stated that he really appreciates Mrs. Cyr letting him know how he can be helpful in soliciting community feedback, specifically in Fox Hall West, because he is happy to help. Mr. Hare, referring to Mr. Slavin’s comments regarding all the things New Castle County is doing, noted that if the legislature would treat Kent County equally to New Castle County, then Kent County might be able to do some of those things and help out too. The Committee recommended applying for the grant and then seeing what happens from there. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lewis and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Improvements to Division Street - Impact on Circulation (Dix) Colonel Thomas Dix, Retired, Independence Boulevard, Bicentennial Village, reviewed a memo to members regarding his critique of the Dover Capital Gateway Plan and Design, dated June 26, 2018. Mr. Sudler thanked Colonel Dix, Retired, for taking the time, as a citizen, to do the research and providing his detailed critique. He stated that he was very impressed and that he thought it made a lot of sense. Mr. Anderson thanked Colonel Dix, Retired, for his critique, noting that he thought it was a breath of fresh air. He indicated that he had heard some concerns, but had not heard from anyone in support of tearing up of all the roads. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought it seemed like an insane idea that would harm economic growth and development in the City, and would not improve the lives of the City’s citizens. He expressed his opinion that the roads are for travel and vehicles, not artistic experiments. Mr. Neil stated that the purpose of the exercise was actually to create a very attractive entrance to the capital city in Dover. He explained that there are various options and the decision would be the City’s regarding what best relays the message “Welcome to the City.” Mr. Neil reminded members that this was happening in other areas as well, noting that the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard area had been made more attractive using greenery and decorations. Mr. Neil stated that he hoped Colonel Dix, Retired, was not recommended not having curb cuts, explaining that they are necessary for people with disabilities who need to move with wheelchairs and walkers. Responding, Colonel Dix, Retired, stated that he was referring to the curb cuts for disused driveways. He suggested that a welcome sign could be placed at the triangle at the intersection of Forest and Division Streets or in the area between Mifflin and Kenton Roads.

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 9, 2018 PAGE 13 Mr. Slavin stated that, with all due respect, he could not disagree more with the observations of Colonel Dix, Retired, and Councilman Anderson. He noted that he would not go into the details of it; however, he thought that it was shortsighted to say “let’s just leave a road the way it is for 20 years.” Mr. Slavin stated that roads are not just for cars, they are for multi-modal transport, especially when there is a middle school in the middle of the road being discussed. Mr. Slavin indicated that he thought that members were trying to ensure safety and economic development, and improve the City, not just trying to move cars faster through town. He noted that while he appreciated their observations, he disagreed with them. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Lewis and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. MONTHLY REPORTS - MAY 2018 By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Lewis, the following monthly reports were unanimously accepted by consent agenda: City Assessor's Report City Council’s Community Enhancement Fund Report City Manager's Report City Planner's Report Controller/Treasurer's Budget Report Fire Chief's Report (April and May) Police Chief's Report REAPPOINTMENT RECOMMENDED BY CHAIRMAN ROY SUDLER, JR. - KIM WARFIELD - COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE SUBCOMMITTEE/ PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT - ONE YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE MAY 2019 Councilman Roy Sudler, Jr., Chair of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Subcommittee, recommended the appointment of Dr. Kim Warfield to serve on the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Subcommittee of the Council Committee of the Whole for a one year term to expire May 2019. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the appointment of Dr. Kim Warfield, as recommended by Chairman Sudler. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on July 10, 2018 at 6:02 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Polce, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Cole was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mrs. Doyle and Ms. Scarborough (Utility), and Mr. Shevock and Dr. Stewart (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Update - Healthy Neighborhood Subcommittee on Behavioral Health (Polce) Councilman Polce reviewed a presentation entitled “Healthy Neighborhoods, Behavioral Health Subcommittee” (Attachment #1). He reminded members that he was appointed by Council President Slavin to the Delaware Center for Health Innovation (DCHI) Dover/Smyrna Healthy Neighborhoods Council. Mr. Polce explained that the Healthy Neighborhoods Council is tasked to implement Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMMI) State Innovation Models (SIM), which is $175,000 of grant money the State applied for approximately five (5) years ago. He stated that the Healthy Neighborhoods Council had been part of the SIM process for the past four (4) years and had developed two (2) subcommittees, one related to chronic disease and wellness lifestyles, which actually presented the Play Streets program that was implemented in the City, and one related to behavioral health, of which he serves as the chair. Mr. Polce noted that the Behavioral Health Subcommittee consists of advocates, and individuals from the provider community, including Bayhealth, Nemours, Dover Behavioral Health, and State agencies, including the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health and Public Health. He stated that the main goal is to bring initiatives and proposals to the local area that garner local support and greater health outcomes to increase access to care in populations that necessarily have not received specific types of care. Mr. Polce advised that, over the past month, the subcommittee had put forth three (3) initiatives in partnership with a number of working groups: 1) Lockers for Engagement Initiative, 2) Domestic Violence Engagement Initiative, and 3) Police Connections Alliance. Mr. Polce provided an overview of the three (3) initiatives. Referring to the Domestic Violence Engagement Initiative, he indicated that there had been a 25% increase in domestic violence incidents in Kent County on the Domestic Violence Hotline; however, there had been a decrease in providers specific to domestic violence situations. Mr. Polce stated that, currently in Dover and Kent County, there is a complete lack of a provider network for treatment for individuals who are experiencing this trauma and these

Page 31

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 10, 2018 PAGE 2 types of crises. He informed members that the Domestic Violence Engagement Initiative utilized a community health worker based model and People’s Place would now be employing an additional community health worker and a high-risk advocate, who is trained with deep confidence in domestic violence situations, to help individuals who are experiencing these crises and trauma move through the health system and receive adequate quality care. Mr. Polce, referring to the Police Connections Alliance initiative, noted that Delaware is at the fastest growing rate of overdose fatality, and is currently the eighth state with the highest overdose fatality rate in the nation. He informed members that just over a month ago Delaware was reported as having over 225 overdoses this year, which is well beyond the pace from last year. Mr. Polce indicated that the Police Connections Alliance program was adapted from the New Castle County program which began two (2) months ago, where a master-level social worker was embedded in with the police entity, and the master-level social worker has been able to triage situations, ranging from substance use disorder to individuals experiencing a mental illness crisis. He stated that they were partnering with Connections and local police agencies and were looking into piloting this program in Dover, Milford, and Smyrna. Mr. Polce advised that, based on statistics gathered from epidemiologists at Public Health, approximately 12.5% of the population in Kent County self- identify as having a substance use disorder and a co-occurring disorder, which means there’s an underlying mental illness as well. He noted that although local policing entities may have received Crises Intervention Training (CIT) through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), officers may not necessarily be equipped to deal with comorbid individuals who are both crippled with addiction as well as an underlying mental health issue. Mr. Polce advised that a partnership has also been struck with Nemours and Dover Behavioral Health to offer mental health training 101 to churches, community centers, etc. He stated that they did their first training three (3) months ago and it was geared specifically to the ecumenical community, noting that it is really important for the ecumenical community to be aware of what individuals in their community are facing and the stigma associated with brain health. Mr. Polce informed members that these trainings are offered at no cost and can be tailored to the community. He stated that a member of the subcommittee is the point of contact, and if anyone is interested in taking a training to a community organization or church, to let him know. Mr. Polce informed members that the subcommittee is also exploring harm reduction options, explaining that harm reduction is a component of substance use disorder more specific to opioid use disorder. He stated that they have also been working with Capital School District to implement the Botvin Program, which is an evidence-based program and curriculum that will better equip youth to deal with mental health issues. Mr. Sudler thanked Mr. Polce for the very detailed and informative presentation. Mr. Neil stated that he thought that this was phenomenal. He asked Mr. Polce whether enough information had been accumulated yet to gauge the response of the people who he is reaching out to and what there reaction is. Referring to the locker initiative, Mr. Neil asked whether individuals have access to medications or medical services they may need. He also asked if there was any measurable data yet regarding the domestic violence type of situations. In response to Mr. Neil, Mr. Polce stated that this is an example of a great opportunity for the City to play a collaborative

Page 32

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 10, 2018 PAGE 3 role, noting that the full onus of all of these programs are with the providers who have been identified. He explained that, specifically with Interfaith, they have done a great deal of work ensuring that they have point of contacts and connections with all of the critical services they might need. Mr. Polce advised that one of the benefits of having a collaborative working group is having these points of contact identified and accessible. He noted that both the domestic violence proposal as well as the homelessness locker engagement initiative have point of contacts for Bayhealth, Dover Behavioral Health, Connections, the Department of Labor, Delaware State Housing Authority, and Medicaid and Medicare at the State and federal levels. Mr. Polce informed members that having points of contact accessible does not necessarily guarantee access; however, they have had tremendous feedback from Bayhealth, Dover Behavioral Health, and Connections regarding their awareness that this pilot is ongoing and allocating specific resources, including beds and staffing capacity for these projects, since there will be an influx of services called upon. Mayor Christiansen thanked Mr. Polce for his service on the subcommittee and asked him to pass along the City’s gratitude to all of the members. He stated that he thought that this dispels the notion that the members of Council were not compassionate towards those who are less fortunate and are in great need. Mayor Christiansen explained that the fact that the City had put together a blue ribbon commission and the Council President appointed Mr. Polce to the Healthy Neighborhoods subcommittee shows that members are compassionate and are looking for answers to this ongoing issue. He thanked the members of Council for their continued support of the issues and the final results that are going to come back from the blue ribbon commission. Mr. Anderson praised the subcommittees for the great work they are doing, noting that the interaction that he had experienced had been extraordinarily positive. He stated that he appreciated the tremendous amount of work that Mr. Polce had dedicated to this. Noting that Mr. Polce indicated that there were 225 overdoses this year, he asked whether those were all fatal overdoses. Responding, Mr. Polce stated that 225 was the number of fatal overdoses statewide. Mr. Anderson asked how many overdoses and overdose deaths had occurred in Kent County and how many people had been saved by naloxone. In response, Mr. Polce stated that he could provide members with Kent County specific data. He advised that, historically, Kent County had trended 2% lower than New Castle County; however, he stated that he would reconfirm that information as well. Mr. Polce noted that he could also provide the accessible data regarding Narcan, with the caveat that Narcan had just become widespread in the past year, so anyone can administer it and the data would not necessarily be recorded accurately. He explained that he can compile and provide the State and County level data; however, the data does not go to the census track, so there will not be very specific data for Dover. Mr. Anderson noted that a lot of people are getting into substance abuse as an effort at self-medication, and that Mr. Polce had indicated a rate of 12.5% behavioral health comorbidity. Mr. Anderson asked if this was 12.5% of the people who are admitted addicts or 12.5% of the population. Responding, Mr. Polce explained that this is self-identified data, and most of this data is compiled by three (3) sources: 1) intake forms when someone receives treatment, 2) point-in-time (PIT) counts for the transient community, collected by the housing alliance, and 3) emergency department (ED) numbers, which are based on individuals who self-identify as a user/misuser and indicate their drug of choice when they go to the ED.

Page 33

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 10, 2018 PAGE 4 Mr. Anderson asked when Kent County Connections partners would be joining the New Castle County model. He stated that it had obviously not started yet; however, he thought that it seemed like it would be a natural enhancement and progression from the Angel program and others. He asked if Mr. Polce knew what the target start dates were or whether they were waiting on more statistics from New Castle. In response, Mr. Polce advised that they were waiting on the check from the federal government. He explained that Connections is the fiduciary steward of the allocated funds and CMMI was in the process of final approval last week. Mr. Polce noted that he wanted to ensure that the approval was given on all three (3) of these initiatives, which was why a copy of his presentation was not available prior to the meeting. He stated that the locker program was an earlier initiative and, there was about a two (2) month lag, so they have been operational for approximately a month now. Mr. Polce stated that he could only speculate regarding the start date, and would never want to speak for the federal government, but he anticipated that a strong start date would be the middle or end of August. Mr. Lewis commended Mr. Polce for his due diligence, serving on the subcommittee, and trying to implement as many changes as possible to help the needy in the community and the local area. In regard to Mr. Neil’s question regarding medical programs, he noted that he served on the board of directors and volunteered for many years with Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) and DIMH has a trailer on-site that is like an intake center. Mr. Lewis clarified that the DIMH locker program had actually been in existence since 2014, noting that he had donated lockers from the old high school; however, it had advanced along with other programs and is an excellent program. Mr. Lindell stated that he applauded Mr. Polce’s efforts on this issue, noting that he knew that Mr. Polce had focused on this issue at the State level for quite awhile as well. Noting that these programs are funded by a State grant, he stated that he would hate to see the programs disappear when that funding runs out. Mr. Lindell asked whether there was a commitment at the State level for the programs that work to continue to be funded after the grant expires. Responding, Mr. Polce stated that he was hoping that someone would ask about sustainability because it is critically important. He informed members that there is not funding coming directly from the State; however, the work of the Healthy Neighborhoods Council and the SIM will continue. Mr. Polce advised that they would be using community benefit dollars from the hospital systems, explaining that, essentially, each hospital gets a pot of money for community good and the hospital systems have pretty much stepped up to the plate and are going to continue to fund highly effective programs. He stated that they will be reporting all of the data from their three (3) initiatives, and Wilmington and Sussex County also have a number of initiatives. Mr. Polce advised that the Connections Police Alliance is actually going to be funded in a different way because it’s now part of the State's overdose system of care which is a new program that the State is taking on and ensuring that first responders have an individual with them who’s trained in behavioral health in specific crisis scenarios. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m.

Staff recommended awarding the contract to Duffield Associates for the Schutte Park Grading Plan Engineering Design Support, Bid #18-0031PW, for the amount of $42,300. Mr. Anderson asked if the bid prices were adjusted for local business preference. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she would have to check with Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director/City Engineer, explaining that the local vendor preference is typically noted on the action form when applicable. Mr. Hare moved to recommend awarding the contract to Duffield Associates for the Schutte Park Grading Plan Engineering Design Support, Bid #18-0031PW, for the amount of $42,300, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the City had used Duffield Associates in the past and they did good work. She noted that the City had also used Century Engineering, and Pennoni Associate in the past and they were good vendors as well.

Meeting adjourned at 6:43 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Lindell moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2018-07 Amending Chapter 106 - Traffic and Vehicles, Article III - Stopping, Standing and Parking, Division 1 - Generally, Section 106-130 - Wrecked, Nonoperating, or Improperly Parked or Equipped Vehicles Mr. David Hugg, III, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2018-07, explaining that it amends language that has created confusion regarding the difference between vehicles that are abandoned in an inoperable condition and vehicles that are in an operable condition but are not properly licensed or registered, and the length of time those vehicles can remain on a property. Mr. Hugg informed members that staff recently lost an enforcement action on appeal to the Construction and Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals regarding Section 106-130 and the proposed amendment was developed at the request of that Board and in consultation with the City Solicitor. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Hugg confirmed that Mr. Hare could park an unlicensed or untagged car in his driveway and work on it for 90 days, if the car is in an operable condition. Mr. Hugg informed members that the situation that staff recently encountered was that an individual had a vehicle that was in an operable condition parked on his property but not properly registered and staff ordered it towed after two (2) warnings and ten days. He stated that the individual appealed and, upon reviewing the language in the Code, it was clear that the vehicle could have been there for up to 90 days. Mr. Hugg explained that the proposed amendment does not change the intent of the ordinance, it simply clarifies the wording. Mr. Lewis asked if the Department of Planning and Inspections explored State Code to ensure that there are no conflicts. In response, Mr. Hugg advised that the City is not conflicting with State Code. He stated the City does not enforce State Code, the City enforces the City ordinances that relate to vehicles. Mr. Hugg noted that City staff relies on the State Code and State offices to confirm whether a vehicle is registered and has a proper owner, etc. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2018-07, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Mr. Lewis moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
