January 14, 2019 On behalf of City Council, The Little School alumni, and the Citizens of the City of Dover, Mayor Christiansen presented the Certificate to Shannon Mercer, Lisa Ratliff, and the Little School staff. He noted that The Little School has molded many young men and women who have gone on to be leaders in our community, the state, and the nation. Ms. Ratliff thanked members for the recognition, noting that they were honored to be there. She recognized The Little School founders, Penny Fox, Hattye Mae Biddle, and Jane Richter, stating that they were incredible mentors, and their incredible staff and families.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 3 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. Fourth District Total Expenditures for ADA/Walkway, Street Paving Projects and Miscellaneous Enhancements for 2015-2018 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed a summary of the Fourth District Public Works ADA/Walkway and Street Paving Projects and Miscellaneous Enhancements for 2015 - 2018. She noted that the total expenditure was $2,381,825 and some of the projects had partial or total funding from Senator Bushweller and Representative Lynn. Criminal Statistics and Complaint Increase or Decrease for Fulton Deli Market - August - November 2017 vs. August - November 2018 Police Chief Marvin Mailey reviewed comparative statistics regarding complaints for the 300 block of Fulton Street, noting that there were less complaints between August and November 2018 than August and November 2017. Chief Mailey explained that “Self Initiated Complaints” were complaints initiated by a police officer and advised that there were 14 generated in 2017 versus seven (7) in 2018. He noted that the Fulton Street Deli was closed on August 2, 2018 due to a criminal investigation conducted by the Police Department in concert with the Department of Planning and Inspections. Mr. Anderson asked if, based on the volume of complaints, Chief Mailey thought there was a definite connection between the illegitimate disorderly operation of the Fulton Street Deli and the complaints in the area around it. Responding, Chief Mailey stated yes, the business which was investigated and subsequently closed down was a magnet for criminal activity in the area as well as narcotics, so it brought a lot of people to the area. He noted that, upon its closing, the Police Department saw a rapid decrease of criminal activity and associated complaints. Chief Mailey advised that the closure of the Fulton Street Deli allowed the Police Department to move resources elsewhere in the city and meet other issues. Mr. Anderson asked if Chief Mailey thought there needed to be any adjustments to the City’s ordinances related to safe communities and disorderly premises. He indicated that people had been suffering in some areas, such as the Hamlet, Kirkwood Street and Fulton Street, for years before the City was able to finally resolve the issues. Responding, Chief Mailey stated that he thought the laws in place were sufficient. He noted that he thought that the cooperation of the residents and people willing to report criminal activity helped in this situation. Chief Mailey advised that community outreach and cooperation go a long way toward helping the Police Department achieve its goals and as long as people are willing to work with them, they have plenty of tools to solve a lot of problems.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 4 Mr. Anderson expressed his appreciation for the great work done by the employees of the Dover Police Department. Mayor Christiansen also commended the employees of the Dover Police Department for the outstanding job they had done, noting that it was a great example of community policing. He advised members of the possibility of the deli reopening under new ownership and that the Police Department and community would continue to be vigilant. Mr. Lindell commended the Police Department for addressing this situation and asked if the Police Department would be redistributing resources on the outskirts of the city as well, noting that there had been an uptick in break-ins and other crimes in the First District. Responding, Chief Mailey advised that the Police Department constantly reviews criminal statistics and reevaluates enforcement efforts and tailors them to current crime trends. Mr. Sudler asked if the closing of the Elks Lodge on Kirkwood Street as well as the Fulton Deli had made a significant impact on crime, particularly prostitution, in that general area. In response, Chief Mailey informed members that, as a result of online dating, prostitution had taken on different forms and the Police Department monitored illicit websites for this type of activity. He stated that since those businesses had closed, the Police Department had definitely noticed a decrease in crime and criminal activity in those neighborhoods. Mr. Anderson noted that there was a particular liquor store downtown that seemed to be a magnet for disorderly conduct around it and stated his hope is that they would receive a message from some of these other closures and work to clear up their action as well. Responding, Chief Mailey advised that the Police Department was aware of the activity to which Mr. Anderson was referring and they had partnered with other organizations in an effort to investigate further. He noted that they had not detected any activity worthy of closing the business down; however, they were keeping an eye on that situation. Update on College Road Walkway Installation/Estimated Cost Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised members that the College Road walkway is ranked as project number 85 on the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Proposed FY20 to FY25 Capital Transportation Program and preliminary engineering is scheduled to begin in FY23. She noted that the City did include this project as a priority on the request sent to DelDOT this year. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Lewis presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 5 Presentation - Smart911 Mr. Charles Kistler, Executive Director of Delaware Help Initiative, provided an overview of Smart911, explaining that the application was purchased by the State of Delaware and is a service that allows residents to create a free safety profile for their household that includes any information they want 911 and first responders to have in the event of an emergency. He stated that if someone from a household dials 911 from a phone associated with a safety profile, their profile will immediately display to the 911 call taker, providing additional information that can be used to facilitate the proper response to a proper location. Mr. Kistler noted that Smart911 provides details that could impact the response the second an emergency call is placed and saves 12 minutes in response time, which could be the difference between life and death. He stated that the application is available in all 50 States and people can create a profile at www.smart911.com to provide 911 valuable information regarding their entire household. Mr. Kistler advised that the service is private and secure, and individuals control the information that they provide. Mr. Kistler advised that he and his colleague, Mr. Harold Stafford, were trying to raise grant funds to address the Smart911 application within the Dover communities that they served with the Lights-On program and they would return with a proposal for implementation in the City once they secure the grant funding. He stated that this program would provide additional public safety which is the whole basis of what they're doing. Mr. Kistler noted that in every city that they go to, a simple light bulb on a front porch leads to an alleyway of solar-powered lights or the retrofitting of streetlights to LED lights. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kistler committed to providing an information packet regarding Smart911 subsequent to the meeting for inclusion in the Council meeting packet for January 14, 2019. He stated that, in addition to providing the information packet, he would also provide information for the Customer Service Department, so individuals who come into the Department will have access to the information as well. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, provided members with additional information regarding Smart911). Responding to Mr. Shelton, Mr. Kistler advised that the data individuals provide is protected, explaining that it is stored on the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) platform. Mr. Neil stated that he looked forward to having the information packet, so that he and Mr. Cole could forward it to the Third District homeowners’ association presidents to circulate throughout their communities. Mr. Lewis thanked Mr. Kistler for the presentation and stated that, as a certified CPR basic first-aid instructor, he could attest that it is a phenomenal program. He implored Mr. Kistler to follow up and provide the information packet to

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 6 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, and Council President Slavin, since he would no longer be on Council. Evaluation of Proposals - Ambulance Service Contract Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the Ambulance Service Contract. She reminded members that the City issued an addendum to the request for proposals (RFP) for the Ambulance Service Contract on November 16, 2018 and stated that all four (4) original proposers responded to the addendum. Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year contractual agreement with St. Francis Healthcare for BLS Ambulance Services to include two units, 24 hours, 7 days a week with 2 EMT’S in accordance with the terms included in RFP #19-0001CM, issued July 11, 2018, and subsequent addendum issued November 16, 2018. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Mitchell advised that the cost of the current contract was $245,000 and the proposal submitted by St. Francis Healthcare was less than the current amount. Mayor Christiansen commended Mrs. Mitchell for following through on looking into the facts and information that were available. Mr. Lindell indicated that he thought that when this contract comes up again Council should evaluate the previous contract and future needs prior to initiating the RFP process. He stated that he thought that staff did their due diligence but Council dropped the ball as far as communicating what they wanted. The Committee recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year contractual agreement with St. Francis Healthcare for BLS Ambulance Services to include two units, 24 hours, 7 days a week with 2 EMT’S in accordance with the terms included in RFP #19-0001CM, issued July 11, 2018, and subsequent addendum issued November 16, 2018, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Slavin absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. Dover Downs International Speedway - Request for Well - Lot 18 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed a request from Dover Downs International Speedway to drill a well on Lot 18. She advised members that Chapter 110 - Utilities, Section 110-67 - Private Wells of the Dover Code states that “It shall be unlawful and a nuisance for any person to dig, drill or otherwise excavate any well

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 7 more than 150 feet below the surface of the ground within the city, or one mile thereof, without the permission of the city council given by resolution. No permission shall be given for a well on any property where a potable water supply is available.” Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Code prohibits her from granting this request; however, Council can authorize it by adoption of a resolution. She informed members that, since it is not potable water, the Department of Public Works contacted the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) to ensure that the City would not be held liable. Mrs. Mitchell read DNREC’s response, as follows: “After discussion with our office of drinking water, the following requirements would be needed if the shower facility moved forward. Signage must be installed stating that the water is non-potable, shower use only, no sinks will be allowed. Tempering valves will be required and the shower and facility will have signage that states that filling bottles will not be allowed.” She explained that if the City moves forward with authorization of this facility, staff would need to make sure there is assurance that these conditions are met for DNREC’s purposes. Mr. Greg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, and Mr. Jim Hosfelt, Dover International Speedway, reviewed a map entitled “Master Plan Firefly.” Mr. Moore indicated that the end of the water line was over 5,000 feet from the proposed shower facility for the campers in this area and it was cost prohibitive to extend the water line for the purposes of the three (3) day Firefly Festival. He stated that their proposal was to drill a well which would provide the water service to the shower facility. Mr. Moore clarified that they were proposing lavatories to include sinks and showers and believed they needed a potable water supply. He stated that it was very usual for wells to be completely potable and they would go through all of the standard testing required by DNREC and the Department of Health and Social Services. Mr. Moore informed members that there are many potable systems throughout Kent County that provide drinking water safely, including the boy scout complex and Delaware Turf. He noted that until last year, Polytech High School had a well system that they operated on site. Mr. Moore advised that they would only use the system for the proposed shower system during the festival and then it would be shut down. Mr. Cole, noting the proximity of the Wild Meadows and Persimmon Tree Park communities, asked if there would be any impact on the area. Responding, Mr. Moore stated that there would be no impact in terms of the well, noting that DNREC would dictate which aquifer is safe and issue the permit for the well. Mr. Cole asked if Dover Downs would be in communication with the area residents regarding this matter. Responding, Mr. Hosfelt confirmed that Dover Downs would handle any communication the City feels is necessary. He noted that Mr. Michael Coco and Mr. Josh Moore from AEG Presents, as well as Mr. Terry Harmeson from Dover International Speedway, were also present. Mr. Hosfelt stated that the Speedway and AEG wanted to emphasize that the nationwide festival industry is very competitive now and in order to make the Firefly Festival viable, they need to keep it fresh. He noted that approximately 50,000 people camp during Firefly and they

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 8 would like to increase the amenities in the campgrounds to make sure it is a place people want to come back to every year. Mr. Moore stated that, from a safety standpoint, it is very important for them to ensure they are providing quality drinking water. Mr. Neil stated that he thought that if the request is for potable water, the aesthetic value of showers cannot be emphasized more. He indicated his support for the well as long as it will not interfere with the Third District area, the water levels will remain consistent, and the separate potable water supply will meet the requirements of DNREC. Mr. Neil noted that he was delighted to have AEG coming in, explaining that he thought it would stabilize the entire operation, which is vital for the City. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Mitchell explained that, based on the request the City received, staff believed the proposal was for showers only; however, based on Mr. Moore’s comments it seemed as though they were discussing a potable water supply with DNREC. She stated that this only creates a problem because the City Code does not allow wells with City limits; however, there is a provision for Council to grant permission. Mr. Moore stated that it was their fault for not making that clear. He explained that their primary goal is a large shower facility but they also want the campers to be able to brush their teeth, and they want the water at a level where they can allow that to happen safely. Mr. Moore noted that they want everyone to be safe and comfortable and do not want to have to install signs in the facility indicating there is an issue with the water. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Moore explained that they could not pursue the permitting process and testing until Council grants the exception to allow a well to be drilled. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Slavin advised that the Committee could simply make a motion with a recommendation to Council to have a resolution prepared for the next meeting. He explained that Council could then consider the Committee’s recommendation, as well as a draft resolution authorizing the well, during its next meeting. The Committee recommended that the City move forward with the processes necessary to permit a well for this special purpose during the Firefly event, and instructing that a resolution be drafted for the next Council meeting. By consent agenda, Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Slavin absent). (Adoption of the Resolution is scheduled to take place during the latter part of the meeting).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 9 Evaluation of Proposals - Water / Wastewater Rate Study Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the Water / Wastewater Rate Study. She noted that staff budgeted $60,000 for this project and the recommended bid rate was $44,500, which would result in a savings on this project. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Municipal & Financial Services to perform a Water / Wastewater Rate Study, Bid #19-0009PW, for the amount of $44,500. The Committee recommended awarding the contract to Municipal & Financial Services to perform a Water / Wastewater Rate Study, Bid #19-0009PW, for the amount of $44,500, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Slavin absent). Evaluation of Proposals - GIS Inventory Survey of Roadway and Other Outdoor Lights Mr. James Robinson, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for GIS Inventory Survey of Roadway and Other Outdoor Lights. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Citelum as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-0010EL. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Robinson confirmed that the lowest bidder is from Dover and the price reflects the preference criteria for contract awards, however, the decision was based on experience. He advised that the lowest bidder has the ability to go out and identify objects to put on the database; however, they do not have the experience to identify the 14 different attributes the City requires. Mr. Robinson stated that staff wanted to ensure that the City has sufficient information to decide what lights are needed. Mr. Anderson stated that he leans toward the local company that scored a 90 and was in the top three (3) bidders. He asked Mr. Robinson to explain the differences between the top three (3) companies and why the City wouldn’t select the local company which is also a low bidder. In response, Mr. Robinson advised that staff looked very closely at the experience that each of the vendors have coming into this effort, noting that some of them have done hundreds of thousands of these types of audits, while others have only done a handful. He explained that some of the vendors have experience identifying the various types of information that the City is seeking, while others, although strong vendors, don't necessarily have that experience. Mr. Robinson noted that it was a tight ranking and a fair amount of preference was given to those experienced bidders.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 10 Mr. Polce noted that he was excited that this project would provide the City with a real opportunity for innovation, in terms of being a smart city, incorporating 4G and 5G on these light fixtures, and providing data analytic capability. He stated that, based on his research, Citelum is an international firm that had done hundreds of thousands of these types of audits, and asked if Mr. Robinson had full confidence that, for the minor price difference of $3,800, Citelum would be able to deliver a really great Phase I process that will lead the City into Phase II and ultimately to engage in larger conversations regarding smart city technology, etc. Responding, Mr. Robinson stated that the ability not necessarily to do this type of inventory but to do a comprehensive review, analysis, photometric studies, etc. to go to the smart city environment was one (1) of the strengths of this particular bidder and others. He noted that it is important to be able to utilize a firm who understands how all the pieces fit together. Mr. Robinson stated that the price difference is fairly small and the recommended bidder is not a Dover company, however, based on the criteria reviewed, staff felt this was the best choice. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, informed members that this GIS audit would enable the City to convert to LED lights and it would also fix the City’s billing system. She explained that the current billing system is inaccurate and the audit will determine what lights the City should be billing. Mrs. Mitchell noted that the street lights are a General Fund expense, and this project will help the General Fund because the billing will be accurate, and energy charges will decrease once the LED lights are installed. She stated that the Electric Fund is paying for the project and the General Fund will hopefully reap the benefits from it. Mr. Sudler stated that he would like to see more business given to local companies and asked Mrs. Mitchell if she thought the local company would be able to achieve the City’s goal. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that she could not answer his question because she did not review any of the proposals for this project. She explained that she turned this project over to the Electric Director and the determination was left to the expertise of him and his staff. Mr. Sudler asked if this was Mr. Robinson’s first project of this magnitude. In response, Mr. Robinson stated that he did a similar project in Massachusetts, however, it was smaller since they only had 1,800 street lights to inventory. Mr. Sudler asked if Mr. Robinson thought the local company would be able to perform the task and achieve the City’s goal even thought they had a few things missing. Responding, Mr. Robinson explained that the local company did not demonstrate that they could go out and get all of the information the City wants for each light. He stated that the needed to demonstrate that they had completed a sufficient number of these types of projects in the past for staff to be comfortable, explaining that they did not want to get in a position where the vendor only provides half of the information that they claim they will provide because staff is trying to keep the process moving along fairly quickly. Mr. Robinson stated that, based on his experience in Massachusetts, he found that it was important to have all the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 11 information to be able to effectively develop the next steps of the program. He indicated that information, like the light wattage, is not readily available to the untrained eye, and those who have done this for a long time can quickly identify the information. Mr. Sudler stated that he understood and appreciated the importance and urgency of the project; however, he wanted to ensure that the City did not overlook local companies that may be able to provide the same service and were just missing a few things. He noted that he thought it was very important for the City to invest in local companies as well as seek outside companies. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Robinson explained that the local company may be able to do the job, however, they did not demonstrate that they have enough experience for staff to be comfortable that they will provide everything the City is requiring by the end of the 45 days. In response to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the total was used for evaluation purposes and reflected the price with the 3% reduction for local companies. She noted that if the 3% were factored into the price, they would not have the lowest bid. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the vendor would pay the unit price based on the number of lights in the City’s system. Mr. Robinson noted that the unit price is the price the company actually quoted. Mr. Slavin suggested that the evaluation prices and the actual prices to be paid be presented in the future. In response to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Robinson advised that the overall project, including acquisition and installation of the light, would cost approximately $3M. Mr. Lindell noted that he believed that if staff thought there was a tie between the vendors, they would recommend the local vendor. He stated that, in this case, he trusted the recommendation of the City’s experts that these individuals would do the job and enable the City to complete this $3 million project without having to ask for more money to fix any potential mistakes that may occur. Mr. Polce moved to recommend awarding the contract to Citelum as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-0010EL, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Robinson stated that he did not have the information regarding the differences in vendor experience with him, however, he could provide that information. Mr. Sudler explained that he needed those kinds of figures to make decision. He noted that he was not questioning staff’s expertise, however, he thought members should be provided all the facts in the future. Mr. Sudler stated that he did not feel comfortable making a decision because he felt members were missing information that was vital to making an education decision.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 12 Mr. Hare noted that if he were provided all of the detailed information regarding GIS and lights, he would probably not understand half of it, therefore, he relied on Mr. Robinson’ knowledge and expertise and would support his recommendation. He indicated that the responsibility for the decision would be staff’s, since the recommendation came from staff. The Committee recommended awarding the contract to Citelum as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-0010EL. By consent agenda, Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Slavin absent).

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on January 15, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. with Mr. Hare presiding in the absence of Council President Slavin. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:03 p.m.), Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce (arrived at 6:02 p.m.), and Mr. Lindell. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mrs. Doyle (Utility), and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Dr. Warfield (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), and Mrs. Haass (Utility) were absent. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Sudler presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. Presentation - Inclusive Playgrounds Mr. Tom Talley, a Rotarian with Brandywine-Naamans Club in Wilmington and Can-Do Playground Chair, and Ms. Deb Edwards, Assistant Governor for the five (5) local Rotary clubs, reviewed information regarding how the Rotary developed Can-Do Playgrounds near Wilmington, and in Milford and Middletown to accommodate children and families of all abilities. Mr. Talley noted that the projects required a lot of planning, expertise, and coordination between the State and municipalities. He stated that he and Ms. Edwards wanted to determine whether the City of Dover is interested in developing an all-inclusive playground, like the Can-Do Playgrounds, so they can explain the City’s interest to the local Rotary clubs. Mr. Anderson noted that he thought this was important because it would help serve members throughout the community, and asked if the local rotaries were interested. Responding, Ms. Edwards indicated that they had just learned about the City’s interest and were asked to come share information. She noted that she had sent a preliminary email to the presidents of the local rotary clubs, however, they needed to gather additional information regarding the expectations of the City that she could take back to the presidents and the hopefully begin a collaborative effort between all of the clubs. Mr. Neil stated that the Rotary Club was very much a part of the City, noting that they were sponsoring the Jolly Trolley for First Fridays. He advised that he spent 20 years in the state of Maryland in vocational rehabilitation and was very proud of what he was able to accomplish in terms of public affairs for the vocation. Mr. Neil stated that he thought the fact that the Rotary had developed a blueprint based on experience would make it much easier for the City. In response, Mr. Talley noted that there had been a number of publications which had recognized the Can-Do Playgrounds, and people from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey have brought their

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 2019 PAGE 2 children to utilize the playgrounds. He stated that they have been able to change the lives of young people. Mr. Polce, referring to the $480,000 charitable contributions for the Wilmington project, asked who contributed and what the average contribution was from the surrounding community. He indicated that the City always loves the opportunity to partner with the community, especially in regarding to capital investment, however, he also likes to consider how much the City will be responsible for paying. In response, Mr. Talley stated that he did not know how much money the City would be responsible for or how much would have to be raised. He indicated that, in the past, they had divided up the fundraising initiative and worked with Parks and Recreation for the State because they contributed the land. Mr. Talley advised that some of the contributions were from foundations and various businesses within the community, noting that the Longwood Foundation was one of the largest contributors. He noted that the Rotary District also utilized its grant process and contributed more than $100,000. Responding to Mr. Polce in regard to the monetary contributions of Nemours, Mr. Talley stated that several physicians and the therapy departments at Nemours contributed to the project, one (1) of their nurses helped in the planning, and they refer patients’ families to the playground. Mr. Lindell noted that his family frequently visits the Milford Can-Do Playground and his five-year- old daughter loves it, and it provides her with an opportunity to interact with children she would not typically and new social skills. He noted that the information regarding the Milford playground stated that there was $850,000 in contributions, and asked if that was the total cost of the playground. In response, Mr. Talley explained that $850,000 was the total, including the value of the land which was supplied by the City of Milford. He noted that the cost of the playground equipment is only one aspect, explaining that the land, engineering, drainage, leveling, etc. were other elements that the State provided assistance within the past. Mr. Lindell stated that he is a fan of public/private partnerships and he thought that this seemed like a very noble project to undertake, however, he noted that it is easy to build something but maintaining it takes additional commitment which needs to be considered when making a decision to proceed. Responding, Mr. Talley advised that the Rotary entered into an agreement with the State which defined their roles, and the Rotarians agreed to provide volunteers to help the State maintain the playground. He stated that they also created an endowment fund to help with maintenance costs. Mr. Talley noted that they had just completed a 10-year anniversary celebration and had a second fundraiser to upgrade the playground, make repairs, and add an interpretive area. Mr. Caldwell stated that he was in favor of an inclusive playground for the City of Dover because it would benefit kids in the area; however, he thought that the City needed to determine who would be involved and what the financial impact would be. Mr. Sudler noted that individuals in the community had contacted him regarding this need and he was happy to hear that members share this vision for an inclusive playground. He advised that he had spoken with Senator Colin Bonini who is willing to provide financial assistance and wants to talk to the City about making a contribution. Mr. Sudler noted that there are also grass-roots initiatives outside of the City that can help make this a reality.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 2019 PAGE 3 Mr. Neil noted that there was a plan for Dover Park and he thought it would be beneficial to include this type of playground as an enhancement to that plan and the Rotary can play a role. He asked what the current status was for Dover Park. Responding, Mr. Sudler stated that he thought Dover Park would be a great staring point since the City was currently revitalizing that park. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, stated that she would like to look at this option for Dover Park and would also like to look at the master plan for each of the City’s parks to determine if this would be feasible for all three (3) major City parks. Mr. Kirby Hudson, Director of Parks and Recreation, agreed that he thought the City should begin with Dover Park since there is a five-year master plan. He also thought the City should look at this concept for Schutte Park. Mr. Hudson stated that the concept is excellent and would be a draw that is desperately needed for all the City parks. He cautioned members to keep demographics in mind, explaining that he would not want the City to put all its resources into an area where they will not be utilized because there are not children in that area anymore. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the current master plan for Dover Park has a five-year implementation for affordability, explaining that the City will spend $130,000 a year over the five (5) years. She advised that there are optional suggestions in the plan for future years if the City can afford it and noted that if the City partners with a group such as the Rotary, she did not think it would take five (5) years to complete the plan. Mrs. Mitchell stated that since the City already had master plans for Schutte Park and Dover Park, she would prefer an opportunity to get the master plan for Silver Lake Park completed and work with the Rotary group and City staff to review the master plans and come back with a conceptual idea during the budget process. Mr. Anderson stated that he was curious to know if there is local interest from civic organizations in providing funding. In response, Mayor Christiansen stated that, as a Rotarian, he knew that if the City asked, the Rotary would do it. Mr. Hare, as a Rotarian, agreed with Mayor Christiansen, but noted that the five (5) Rotary Clubs in Dover do not have $400,000 and it would take time to get grant proposals in and determine the funding sources. Ms. Edwards indicated that, as a representative for the five (5) Rotary Clubs in the area, she will need to get confirmation from all the clubs that they are interested in this project. She explained that, in order to get their support, she will need to provide an idea of the City’s level of expectation for the Rotary’s involvement. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend referring the inclusive playgrounds to staff, with a positive recommendation, and that staff return with a feasibility report in six (6) months. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Lindell moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:43 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 2019 PAGE 4 UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Proposals - Tree Trimming Mr. James Robinson, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for tree trimming. Mr. Polce noted that the City had two (2) arborists on staff and asked if a cost-benefit analysis had been done to determine whether hiring arborists internally would be more beneficial than contracting it out. Responding, Mr. Robinson stated that he was not aware that a cost-benefit analysis had been done; however, he thought it may have been considered in the past. He informed members that there is special training involved with putting people up in the power zone, and while arborists know the trees very well, they don’t necessarily know the electricity aspect. Additionally, the equipment has to be specially designed to work in the power zone. Mr. Robinson stated that, during his prior experience in Massachusetts, the electric department had its own forestry crew and they found that it was basically a tradeoff. He noted that one of the benefits for the City of Dover is being able to continue with a firm that knows the City very well, and that the City knows very well. Mr. Robinson advised that the City may want to consider other alternatives if it did not have that type of situation. Mr. Polce stated that he would not encourage the City to spend money on a cost-benefit analysis if it was not readily available. He noted that they were not talking about a large sum of money; however, since there are already two (2) arborists on staff, he wondered how much more it would cost for the additional work. Staff recommended awarding a contract to Asplundh Tree Expert LLC as per the proposal submitted in response to RFP #19-001EL. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 2019 PAGE 5 AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved. Report of Independent Public Accountants for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2018 Mr. Remi Omisore, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), reviewed a presentation entitled “City of Dover, Delaware Audit Results Year Ended June 30, 2018” (Attachment #1). Staff recommended acceptance of the report. Mr. Sudler noted that Mr. Omisore stated that no one had received any additional information from other auditors and that the City was very cooperative and professional. He asked if this was normal or if these types of situations happen quite often. Responding, Mr. Omisore advised that it does not happen quite often, which is why it is a required disclosure. He explained that he would have to disclose if anyone put any undue pressure on the auditors, so Council could perform any follow up and determine the course of action. In response to Mr. Polce, Mr. Omisore stated that CLA worked with approximately 2,000 other municipalities or jurisdictions across the country. He noted that CLA is a top 10 firm in the U.S., and the only firm in the top 10 that does not specialize in any SEC clients. Mr. Omisore stated that CLA’s only clients are governments, not for profits, and some privately held businesses, noting that CLA has more government clients than any other firm in the country. Mr. Polce expressed concern with the City’s capital asset sheet, explaining that he thought that the City was probably a bit over leveraged. He indicated that the City is continuing to look at its depreciative assets and what they are truly valued at, and are continuing to probably lose its financial footing. Mr. Polce asked if a majority of the municipalities or local jurisdictions CLA is working with are in similar situations. Responding, Mr. Omisore stated that it is a major concern, and it is difficult to summarize everything in one (1) key line item. He advised that the pressures of maintaining capital assets going through infrastructure is one of the main concerns, as well as finding applicable revenue streams for funding. He stated that, as Mr. Polce noted, the leverage model is to borrow today and pay for it tomorrow; however, he indicated that it would eventually need to be reconciled and is a heavy concern. Mr. Omisore stated that the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) published a study two (2) or three (3) years ago regarding what this problem and the appropriate source of funding it. He stated that he would send the study to Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, for distribution to members. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend acceptance of the report, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2018 Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a presentation entitled “City of Dover Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018” (Attachment #2). Staff recommended acceptance of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2018.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 2019 PAGE 6 Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2019-02 - Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-7 - Registered Sexual Offenders Mr. Hare explained that Proposed Ordinance #2019-02 would amend Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-7 - Registered Sexual Offenders, to comply with recently adopted State legislation. Staff recommended adoption of the Ordinance. Mr. Neil expressed concern with lines 64 and 65 of the Proposed Ordinance, which state that it “is unlawful for a sexual offender to wear costumes for the primary purpose of entertaining, attracting or encouraging interaction with children.” He questioned whether it would be unconstitutional to ban convicted sex offenders from wearing any costume at any time, noting that he could imagine a defense attorney using intent as a means to exonerate the individual. In response, Mr. Hare explained that the Ordinance did not propose any amendments to lines 64 or 65. He indicated that Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, could research the State Code, explaining that he was hesitant to make any changes that were not in line with the State. Mr. Polce moved to recommend adoption of Ordinance #2019-02, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
