Council Minutes and Exhibit 1

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on June 10, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Staff members present were Major Stump, Ms. Peddicord, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 7:40 p.m.). Fire Chief Rhodes was absent. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Hare declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Mr. Alan Gaddis, 448 North State Street, Dover, spoke in favor of the proposed budget, noting that Council is considering significant improvements in flood control, drainage, and to aged pumping stations. He also noted that there are plans to improve three parks during 2020 and 2021, and to add staff to improve various services to the citizens. Mr. Gaddis stated that infrastructure maintenance is essential and if repairs are postponed it will likely be more costly in the future. Noting that the proposed tax increase is 3.5 cents per $100 assessment, which would bring the city property tax to 44 cents per $100, he advised that the increase would be $35 per year for an assessment of $100,000; $87.50 per year for an assessment of $250,000; and $175 per year for and assessment of $500,000. Mr. Gaddis stated that if one wants government services, one must be prepared to pay one's fair share and if one doesn't want a tax increase or to pay taxes, one must be willing to tell their government which services he or she would gladly give up. Ms. Joyce Talley, 110 Persimmon Circle East, advised that she was president of the Persimmon Park Place council. She noted that other council members, George Bartlett and Linda Robinson, were also present. Ms. Talley advised that Persimmon Park Place is experiencing a major problem with the failure of the drainage trunk line, which is rapidly deteriorating and creating sinkholes. She noted that, according to proposed Ordinance #2019-13 (FY 2019/20 Budget), $900,000 has been budgeted for Persimmon Park Place basin improvements for FY 2021, provided that easements are obtained from those homeowners that are affected and impacted with the installation of a new trunk line. Ms. Talley advised that they had been working closely with Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, and a draft of the easement agreement has been submitted to her, as well as to the city engineer, Mr. Jason Lyon, for review. She noted that once they have finalized the agreement and know what the City actually needs from them, they will be seeking the signatures of the impacted homeowners. Ms. Talley stated that it is critical that they have the City of Dover's support, for a disaster is in waiting, for not only Persimmon Park Place, but also for the City of Dover. The invocation was given by Bishop Thomas L. Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

Nearly 90 years later, Dover Gas Light Company became Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. The City of Dover recognizes Chesapeake Utilities Corporation as the longest continuously-running company in Dover and wishes them many more years of success. Thank you for being an essential asset in Dover and the surrounding community for the last 160 years. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the certificate to Shane Breakie - Assistant Vice President, Chris Redd - Director, Dean Holden - Manager Business Development, Aleida Socarras - Vice President, Steve Thompson - Senior Vice President, Justin Mulcahy - Public Relations Manager, and MQ Riding-Manager of Marketing and Communications with Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. TRIBUTE NO. 2019-01 - DR. WILLIAM B. DELAUDER The City Clerk read the following Tribute into the record: COUNCIL TRIBUTE NO. 2019-01 A TRIBUTE EXPRESSING SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCES UPON THE PASSING OF DR. WILLIAM B. DELAUDER. WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover are saddened by the passing of Dr. William B. DeLauder on May 21, 2019; and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2019 PAGE 3 WHEREAS, Dr. DeLauder became the eighth president of then Delaware State College in 1987, and during his 16-year tenure, was instrumental in the growth and expansion of the college, not only physically through the Phase II Jason Library addition, the Warren Franklin men and women's residential halls, and the Mishoe Science Center, but also through what the college had to offer the community; and WHEREAS, under Dr. DeLauder's presidency new and diverse academic programs were added, and he revamped the academic administration structure by establishing six main academic divisions. He launched the first-ever major capital campaign in 1991 that raised millions of dollars towards academic programs, faculty development, and student financial aid. Dr. DeLauder’s Administration also succeeded in making an effective case for the school’s elevation in status and, in 1993, the institution was renamed by the State General Assembly from Delaware State College to Delaware State University; and WHEREAS, Dr. DeLauder’s achievements continue to positively impact the students and faculty at Delaware State University and he will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all those whose lives he has touched. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council extend their deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of Dr. William B. DeLauder, and hope that they will be consoled by the memories of his life and achievements. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council direct the City Clerk to place this Tribute in the permanent records of the City of Dover and that a copy of this Tribute be provided to the family of Dr. William B. DeLauder. ADOPTED: JUNE 10, 2019 On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen and Councilman Sudler presented Tribute No. 2019-01 to the family of Dr. DeLauder. Mr. Anderson moved for adoption of Tribute No. 2019-01, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. PRESENTATION - LINDA PARKOWSKI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE KENT ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP Ms. Linda Parkowski, Executive Director of the Kent Economic Partnership (KEP), reviewed a PowerPoint Presentation (Exhibit #1) outlining what the KEP is, their goals, and accomplishments. Mr. Anderson requested clarification on the four projects which were mentioned. Ms. Parkowski advised that they were assessing all of the water access areas with the goal of creating an interactive map to be hosted by either the Kent County Tourism site or the State tourism site. Another project was educating the Realtors about what Kent County offers in addition to the schools, feeling that builders are also a gateway to people making decisions about where they are going to live and where they are going to send their kids to school. Ms. Parkowski advised that another project was holding

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2019 PAGE 4 focus groups with successful local independent restaurant owners, because they want to be able to attract more of the independent restaurant owners, not just the chains, to Kent County. She stated that the fourth project was looking at different cities where the city, county, and all of the businesses used the same slogan and branding so that it funnels down to determine best practices for Kent County. Mr. Sudler asked if there were any initiatives to promote the great diversity of Kent County, not just within ethnicity but also in culture and races. Responding, Ms. Parkowski stated that, in her position with the KEP, she does attraction and business retention and expansion, and she thought that diversity fit in with that because Kent County is diverse geographically, culturally, and educationally. Mr. Polce stated that he thought this was probably one of the most critical conversations they have had in a long time because of the potential value that the KEP brings in the form of economic development. Noting that he had heard about the “blueprint” that was being developed, Mr. Polce suggested that it would be very advantageous for them to come back to have a deeper conversation around some of the workforce trends that they continue to hear about out in the community. Mr. Polce requested Ms. Parkowski to explain what the blueprint is as it pertains to workforce development and identifying rising industry. Responding, Ms. Parkowski advised that the three (3) target industries are warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing. She noted that the majority of the leads that the Delaware Prosperity Partnership is receiving are manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and logistics. Ms. Parkowski stated that the education workforce skills blueprint provides a list of all the skill deficits in the workforce and collects the data to project the necessary skills for five (5) years and 10 years, and attempt to teach those skills. Mr. Polce asked if the committee was linked with the local school districts, the Pathways to Prosperity program, and the four (4) higher education institutions. Responding, Ms. Parkowski stated that the education workforce committee has been working for approximately five (5) months and the goal is for them to have those conversations. Referring to the quality of life component, Mr. Polce noted that Dover is becoming a bit innovative with its small cell technology, creating 4G and potential 5G bandwidth, and hopefully creating greater incubator space that incorporates technology. Mr. Neil stated that he thought that the quality of life that they have drawn out in the Quaint Villages branding, the active promotion that they have to bring tourists here, and the NASCAR and Firefly Music Festival are assets that put us on different maps, one being the sports map and the other being the music map, which are international. PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET A public hearing on the Electric Fund Budget is required for compliance with City of Dover Electric Revenue Bonds Resolutions prior to adoption of the budget. Notice of the public hearing was properly advertised for this time and place. Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Hare declared the public hearing closed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2019 PAGE 5 Council President Hare noted that the First Reading of the Budget Ordinances would take place during the latter part of the meeting and that the Final Reading and adoption of the Ordinances were scheduled for the Regular Council Meeting of June 24, 2019. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2019-11 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 53 NORTH WEST STREET AND 517 WEST DIVISION STREET Council President Hare advised that the applicant had requested that the Public Hearing and final action on the rezoning be postponed. Staff recommended that the public hearing for the rezoning be rescheduled for Monday, July 8, 2019. Mr. Neil moved to reschedule the public hearing for the rezoning of 53 North West Street and 517 West Division Street for Monday, July 8, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2019-12 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 731 AND 801 WEST DIVISION STREET A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 731 West Division Street, consisting of 11,350 +/- s.f. and 801 West Division Street, consisting of 8,400+/- s.f., owned by AID in Dover, Inc. The properties are currently zoned C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay) and the proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office) subject to COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay) (Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-01-34.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-01-32.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-19-06; Fourth Council District) Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2019-12 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Polce and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of April 22, 2019.) Planner's Review Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. He noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Public Hearing Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Mr. Dan Houghtaling, Chair of the Central Delaware Housing Collaborative, advised that the collaborative was formed by the Mayor’s Task Force to End Homelessness to look into low income housing for people in the area. He noted that they had the opportunity to purchase the former Aid in Dover building by assuming a mortgage from the Delaware State Housing Authority. Mr. Houghtaling advised that they found out that they needed a zoning change and, once the property is rezoned, they will advise the State Housing Authority that they have the proper zoning to open up a woman's shelter for 20 homeless women at 801 West Division Street.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2019 PAGE 6 Mr. Houghtaling advised that the adjacent property, 731 West Division Street, had a house on it that could be cleaned up and rented to pay for some of their operating expenses for the homeless shelter; however, it was heavily vandalized and would cost more to restore than it is to demolish it. He noted that they then had an opportunity to work with the Federal Housing Loan Bank and acquire funding to construct some housing units that are affordable. Ms. Jeanine Kleimo, Chair of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, 684 Forest Street, and Brother Peter-Joseph St. Mary Avitabile, CSC, Deacon, Saint Miriam Parish and Friary, were present to speak in favor of the rezoning and to answer questions about the future use of the properties. There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Hare closed the public hearing. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2019-12, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 731 WEST DIVISION STREET AND 801 WEST DIVISION STREET.
