LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on January 11, 2010,
at 5:30 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Salters (arrived at
5:34 p.m.), Mr. Leary, Mr. Shevock, and Dr. Jones. Members of Council present were Mr. Hogan,
Mr. McGiffin, Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Russell (arrived at 6:35 p.m.) and Council President Williams
(arrived at 6:00 p.m.). Mayor Carey was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Leary requested the deletion of Item #2 - MAG Overview of Recommendations, to allow
time for members to be provided the summaries of the meetings with employees.
Mr. Leary moved for approval of the agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Shevock and
unanimously carried.
Review and Analysis
Vacant Positions Report
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that the vacant positions report is one
(1) of three (3) similar reports that he monitors each month. He explained that these reports were
created to measure the pulse in this difficult economic time and the report will change as
positions are filled.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. DePrima stated that the City is in the second year of a
hiring freeze and, as with last year, there will be some positions that will be eliminated from the
budget permanently.
Overtime Report
Mr. DePrima advised members this report is used to monitor overtime usage by department. He
noted that the report was created to insure that employees are not making up lost income from
furloughs with overtime and, to date, any overtime has been justified.
In response to Mr. Ruane, Mr. DePrima stated that the increase in overtime in the Transmission
and Distribution section of the Electric Department is from evening and weekend preparation for
the Governor=s Avenue Project.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. DePrima stated that the reports are compiled by
department, not by person, and that the next report will include totals.
Furlough Report
Mr. DePrima advised members that employees are abiding by the furlough, which was adopted
by City Council.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, the purpose of this report is to make sure that employees are
taking their furloughs.
In response to Mr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Theresa Tieman, Senior City Administrator, explained that
Page 2
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2010 PAGE 2
there are no monies saved, as there were no monies budgeted, for furloughs. She noted that there
was a "cost avoidance".
Review and Recommendation - Filling of Critical Positions
During their meeting of February 23, 2009, members recommended approval of the Hiring
Freeze for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, but to allow the hiring of critical positions through the review
and approval of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee and City Council. It
was suggested that there be a "standing" agenda item to consider the filling of critical positions
and, if there are no positions to consider, the item could be removed.
Police Officer
Police Chief Jeffrey Horvath explained that, with the recent retirement of Captain Ray Sammons,
a new vacancy was created. He reminded members that the Police Department=s authorized
strength is currently 91 officers and that the vacant position would need to be filled in order for
the City of Dover to remain compliant with the staffing provisions of the Community Oriented
Policing Services (COPS) grant that was approved by Council on September 14, 2009. Filling
this position would allow the Police Department to maintain 91 officers on duty and Chief
Horvath explained its necessity in order for the City to continue to provide security and safety
for the citizens of Dover. He mentioned that there will be a small savings, as the person he
would like to hire is not a certified police officer and will have to go through the Policy
Academy in March or June.
Mr. Leary moved to recommend that staff be granted permission to recruit for the
position of Police Officer, as requested by staff. The motion was seconded by Dr. Jones and
unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinances
Ordinance #2010-01 - Chapter 102 – Taxation, Article I - In General, Section 102-1 - Annual
Valuation and Assessment
Ms. Cheryl Russell, City Assessor, advised members that Ordinance #2010-01 is being brought
back to revert the ordinance to its original intent and to strike out the amendments made by
Mayor Carey, and approved by City Council, on December 14, 2009. The purpose of the
amendment is to follow the recommendations resulting from a June 2008 audit performed by Mr.
Frederick Chmura and Mr. William Ford of the International Association of Assessing Officers
(IAAO).
Ms. Russell explained that the recommendation was to prorate the values of properties as of the
annual assessment date of January 1.
Mr. Salters advised members that he does not believe it is fair to tax incomplete properties that
are not making a profit due to the current economic conditions.
Responding to Dr. Jones, Ms. Russell explained that there are two (2) properties that would be
subject to taxation based on the percentage complete after 90 days without construction under
the proposed ordinance changes.
Page 3
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2010 PAGE 3
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that in order for Ms. Russell to enforce
the 90-day window, she would have to visit properties every day to witness that no construction
is taking place.
Mr. Philip McGinnis, McGinnis Commercial Real Estate Company, advised members that he is
an appraiser and has been involved in property tax assessment appeals with the City of Dover for
a number of years. Mr. McGinnis stated that while a building is under construction it generates
no income; therefore, there is no value from an income standpoint, yet the land is still rightfully
taxed.
He felt that this ordinance would place a burden on the developer with an unfinished building
and would be unfair to any taxpayer. He further noted that if a building is vacant for a period of
time, the City Planning Department enforces the vacant building ordinance.
Mr. Ruane stated that when a property is under construction it must be insured, so to indicate that
a property under construction has no value is disingenuous. He further explained that although
the City uses three approaches to assess properties (sales, cost, and market) it does not use any
single one, and, although allowed, the approaches are not necessarily applied. He further
indicated that to be fair and equitable, all properties should be assessed equally and justly, stating
that waiting until the building is complete is not normal, accepted practice in the industry.
In response to Council President Williams, Mr. McGinnis stated that the bank requires insurance
during the construction phase in case there is a hazard, so that some repayment of the debt can
take place. Mrs. Williams advised members that the function of the insurance is to protect the
capital investment, which has nothing to do with the value of the property once the certificate of
occupancy has been issued, and that these two issues are separate and should not be compared.
Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. McGinnis stated that he knows of no other municipality or
assessing group that taxes properties during construction.
Mr. Tom Burns, Burns and Ellis REALTORS®, 490 N. DuPont Highway, stated that he is not
familiar with the legislation passed by the State of Kansas, which was mentioned in the letter
from Mr. Fred Chmura; however, he felt that the proposed ordinance was a disguised tax
increase. He stated that the City had not presented a reason why additional funds were needed.
He advised that he believes this ordinance will deter developers from building in the City of
Dover and that the City should be more user-friendly to developers. He further noted that
insurance on vacant buildings is nominal and that the bulk of insurance is for liability.
Mr. Ruane stated that although insurance premiums may be low, if the building caught on fire
the policy holder would expect enough funds to be able to rebuild the building to its level of
completion before it burned. He further explained that the intent of the amendment is not to
raise taxes but to conform with national standards. Currently, property under construction in the
Page 4
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2010 PAGE 4
City of Dover cannot be taxed until the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. He stated that the
common practice in other states is to assess as of the status on the assessment date. He read into
record a recommendation from the IAAO which states "Valuation of Property as of the
Assessment Date: Clarify that all property is valued as of its ownership and current market value
as of the January 1st assessment date. Currently property under construction cannot be placed
on the tax rolls until a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. This is not common practice in the
assessment profession in other states. The general practice is that all property is assessed as of
its status on the assessment date. For example, if a building is under construction as of January
1st and is 50% complete on that date, then the assessor values the property as its 50% complete
status and places this partial value on the annual assessment roll. Then the Certificate of
Occupancy is issued, the assessor then reassesses the building and adds the additional increased
assessment as a supplemental assessment on the next quarterly supplemental assessment date.
Property receiving a change in zoning or specific use would also be adjusted based upon the
assessment date".
Mr. Scott Kidner, lobbyist for the Delaware Association of REALTORS®, expressed concern
that there will be legal issues, as the owner of the property might not agree with the percentage
of completion valued by the Assessor=s Office. He further requested that the real estate
community be given notice when issues of importance such as this come before the Committee.
Responding to Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Kidner stated that if the City decides to approve this
amendment, he would recommend that the City of Dover and the regulating community get
together to address issues that may arise from this matter.
Mr. Hogan stated that, as the policy is currently written, it is almost impossible for the Assessor=s
Office to enforce.
Dr. Jones stated that the City of Dover should encourage development and operate in a manner
of goodwill. She felt that the Assessor=s Office and concerned others should work together to
develop a workable plan.
Ms. Jennifer Casey, Executive Vice President for the Homebuilders Association of Delaware and
resident of the City of Dover, stated that this amendment will increase the cost of residential
construction and will impact affordable housing. She further noted that the Economic
Development Office brainstorms on how to bring businesses in and this ordinance amendment is
unfair to long-term residents of this city when they are investing their money during difficult
economic times. Ms. Casey stated that if the City of Dover is the only place in Delaware with
this ordinance, investors and homebuyers will not come, which she felt would negate the small
increase in the budget.
Mr. Mike Harrington, Harrington ERA Realty, Inc., stated that everyone has worked very hard to
promote the City of Dover. He believes that the City of Dover is sending a negative message to
the community, which will single the city out. He expressed confidence that City Council will
make the right decision.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2010 PAGE 5
Mr. Salters moved that the City Assessor=s Office, the City Manager=s Office and the Real Estate
Community meet to attain a workable solution within 90 days. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Leary.
Dr. Jones stated that she would like to see research conducted so that factual information can be
provided to the Committee.
Mr. McGlumphy stated that he would like to see what is done in the State of Delaware, not other
states, as the recommendations stated. He suggested a middle ground can be found during
discussion.
The motion that the City Assessor=s Office, the City Manager=s Office and the Real Estate
Community meet to attain a workable solution within 90 days was unanimously carried.
Ordinance #2010-02 - Adoption of 2009 ICC Codes (Building Codes)
Dr. Jones moved to table Ordinance #2010-02 - Adoption of 2009 ICC Codes (Building
Codes) to allow the development community time to review, seconded by Mr. Leary and
unanimously carried.
Health Benefits Committee
Mr. Anthony DePrima, City Manager, advised members that in order to manage the OPEB
liability and annual cost of health benefits, the City Administration is recommending the
formation of a Health Benefits Committee, as appointed by City Council. He further advised
that the Committee membership would consist of the following positions and that meetings
would take place during normal City business hours:
Council Members - two (2) appointed by City Council
City Manager (Ex Officio)
Human Resources Director
Controller/Treasurer
FOP – one (1) representative as appointed by the Union
IBEW – one (1) representative as appointed by the Union
IUE/CWA – one (1) representative as appointed by the Union
Non-Bargaining – one (1) volunteer
Mr. DePrima advised members that the goal of the Health Benefits Committee would be to
research alternative health care plans, alternative vendors, health savings accounts,
policy/procedure changes, or any other options to assist the City in reducing its health care
liability and annual cost. In doing so, the Committee shall maintain quality health insurance that
is affordable for the City employees, customers, and taxpayers. The Committee shall provide
their recommendations to City Council by January 31, 2011.
Mr. DePrima stated that the Committee would not discuss Medicare Part B, as Council will have
made a ruling on this matter and it will be respected.
Page 6
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2010 PAGE 6
Mr. DePrima indicated that the Health Benefits Committee may, at times, need to hire
consultants to explain or cost out various options and, in this event, the Committee will be
responsible for developing RFP=s, selecting vendors, and submitting to Council the approval of
recommended vendors, as promulgated by the Purchasing Policy. He further explained that all
costs will be paid from the OPEB Trust Fund.
In response to Mr. Salters, Mr. DePrima stated that the January 31, 2011, date was given to allow
considerable research to take place. He further advised that the meetings would take place once
or twice a month and would be scheduled during normal business hours to eliminate the need for
overtime.
Mr. Ruane stated that he believes excluding any health benefit from discussion is a mistake.
Mr. Salters moved to recommend approval of the formation of a Health Benefits Committee and
appointment of two (2) Council members to serve on the Committee, with the understanding that
meetings will be conducted during City business hours. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Shevock.
Mr. McGlumphy advised members that he believes that sometimes decisions are made that are
not beneficial in the long-run but can be corrected when revisited.
The motion to recommend approval of the formation of a Health Benefits Committee and
appointment of two council members to serve on the Committee, with the understanding
that meetings will be conducted during City business hours, was unanimously carried.
Proposed Ordinance #2010-03 - FY 2009 Budget Balances and Projected Carry Forward
Balances
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the draft budget ordinance
Amendment #1 is to incorporate into the FY10 budget the final budget balances and project
budget balances carried forward from FY09.
Mrs. Mitchell stated that the General Fund changes incorporate the loss of $775,200 in
Municipal Street Aid funds, which was offset by the adjustment to the beginning budget balance
of $812,127. The Municipal Street Aid Fund has been adjusted, as well, for the $775,200. FY09
encumbrances have been included for the Police Department and Human Resources Department.
Mrs. Mitchell noted that the Water and Wastewater Fund had a negative beginning budget
balance adjustment in aggregate, which was all attributed to Kent County sewer treatment fees
exceeding the City=s revenues for treatment fees ($497,667).
Mrs. Mitchell advised members that the Electric Revenue Fund had a positive beginning budget
balance adjustment of $3.1 million and that she and the City Manager will discuss the possibility
of eliminating the budgeted $3 million transfer-in from the Rate Stabilization Reserve in the
Page 7
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION
COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2010 PAGE 7
mid-year review in order to maintain the current reserve balance to address any needs in the
FY11 Budget. She stated that the balance as of June 30, 2009 is $4.7 million. Mrs. Mitchell
further explained that the policy minimum is 3% of budgeted purchased power cost and the
maximum is 10% ($2.5 million to $8.3 million).
Mrs. Mitchell stated that, for the first time in several years, the Worker=s Compensation Fund
had a negative adjustment to the beginning budget balance of $126,345 since expenses exceeded
contributions in FY09. However, she indicated that the fund still remains in a good financial
position with a budget balance of $1.4 million.
Mrs. Mitchell advised that other changes are the elimination of the budget for the Other Post
Employment Benefits Fund as this is now a trust, as adopted by Council in May 2009, and no
longer a governmental fund. In addition, she stated that a $50,000 adjustment was made to the
Community Transportation Fund for the transfer-in as a correction to the budget, and the CDBG
Fund budget was added.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the revenue projections to keep the
budget balanced have not changed in any significant manner. She further advised that the City
Manager would bring forward any necessary budget adjustments at the mid-year review.
In response to Mr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the carry forward balance is
$812,127, and the $775,220 is the loss of the Municipal Street Aid, with the net amount of
$36,927 going toward the ending budget balance.
Responding to Mr. Ruane, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the $775,220 will be used to fund the
Municipal Street Aid Program and that any other adjustments would be made during the
mid-year review during the first meeting in March.
Mr. Leary moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2010-03, FY 2009
Budget Balances and Projected Carry Forward Balances (Attachment #1), seconded by Mr.
Salters and unanimously carried.
Mr. Leary moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
