REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on August 12, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, and Mr. Taylor. Mr. Lindell and Mr. Slavin were absent. Staff members present were Major Stump, Ms. Peddicord, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, Deputy Fire Chief O'Connor, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also present (departed at 7:43 p.m.). 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. Michael L. Herman, Galena Maryland, advised that he was working on his graduate thesis on providing services for homeless veterans. He explained that although housing is being provided, there is no comprehensive system in place that provides home ownership or financial counseling. Mr. Herman stated that he was working with a multitude of state and local organizations, as well as colleges, to find ways to provide skills training for the veterans to help them become productive citizens. He noted that they would be holding a conference at Wilmington University in October for all of the stakeholders to give a brief five or ten minute talk centered around brainstorming. Mr. Herman advised that the end goal is to come up with a plan and then go for funding and grants to build for the homeless veterans an entire community where they live, where they can work, where they are trained, and where they have community meetings. He provided a handout outlining his thesis work (Exhibit #1) and invited everyone to attend the conference. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Herman for his work and research and asked if he had contacted People's Place, Mike Rowe's Veteran's Division, or others. Responding, Mr. Herman stated that he had reached out to them and probably four dozen other organizations. He noted that they are also working on receiving input from the homeless veterans regarding their thoughts and needs. The invocation was given by Bishop Thomas L. Holsey, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2019 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of July 22, 2019 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Cole and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 2 CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION - RESTORING CENTRAL DOVER INITIATIVE The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Recognition into the record: CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION presented to Alleyah Sheay Kendell Washington Denisha Jones Dyiamod Waters Jason Cruz Tyshawn Sheay Darryl Sheay Mesiah Waters for dedicating your summer to enhancing the Dover Community by assisting the Restoring Central Dover Initiative. The City of Dover extends sincere appreciation for your public service. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen and Councilmen Anderson and Sudler presented the Certificates of Recognition. RECOGNITION OF SERVICE - THOMAS S. HOLT - PLANNING COMMISSION (FEBRUARY 1987 - AUGUST 2019) On behalf of members of Council, Mayor Christiansen presented Mr. Thomas Holt with a Dover Cup in recognition of his service on the Planning Commission from February 1987 through August 2019. DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION REPORT - JUNE 20, 2019 The Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) met on June 20, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Gaddis presiding. Members present were Mr. Fleming, Mrs. Herbert, Ms. Mullen, and Mr. Rocha. Ms. Mishoe Paige was absent. ADOPTION OF AGENDA The agenda was approved by unanimous consent. Discussion and Revisions to the DHRC Strategic Plan Mr. Gaddis discussed the history of the four (4) election districts, including one (1) predominantly made up of minority groups. He stated he was not sure when the Dover Human Relations Commission was formed. Mr. Fleming noted there was an incident that occurred within the City that was behind the formation of the Dover Human Relations Commission. Mrs. Herbert reviewed Chapter 58 - Human Relations of the Dover Code. Mr. Fleming stated he believed the commission was developed to nip problems before they got out of hand. He noted that there was an intake form for complaints that the Commission would review and then schedule a meeting with the complainant to discuss the issue and try to resolve it. He stated there was not an intake form anymore.

Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 3 Ms. Mullen questioned why the Commission existed, noting that it seemed that the Commission could do nothing, as with the past incident that was referred to the State’s Human Relations Commission. Mr. Rocha stated that members have to know the Code so when a situation occurs they know whether the situation needs to go through Dover Human Relations Commission or if they need to boot it up to the State. He noted the DHRC could do some form of vetting. Mrs. Herbert stated that the strategic plan tells members what they are suppose to do, but that some things within the plan are ludicrous. She stated that she did not mean that the plan was not a good idea, but that it was asking a lot with basically a four (4) or five (5) person committee. Mrs. Herbert noted that the plan asks a lot of citizens as opposed to professionals in an area like that to do it. She stated they were wonderful ideas, but would not want to be handed the job. Ms. Mullen asked that if the Commission could make a revision that anytime there is an issue, especially in Dover, that the issue should go through the Dover Human Relations Commission first instead of going to the State because the commission represents the communities. Mrs. Herbert noted that the State only handles housing discrimination and discrimination with accommodation and once in awhile the State will do something about disabilities. Mrs. Herbert noted that the State gave her a list for the DHRC’s use when handling complaints. She noted that as an ex-social worker she felt that they should help the person network but that may be beyond anything they were allowed to. Mr. Gaddis reviewed section II of the DHRC Strategic Plan 2015-2018. Mr. Gaddis stated he had problems with the word “how” regarding the strategic plan. He read paragraph two involving segments of the community and asked how is the Commission going to do that. He stated that at the moment the Commission was made up of five (5) members and that Council has not seen fit to fill three (3) vacancies. He noted that according to Section II, Mission, of the Strategic Plan the Commission works with the City Council and City Administration to anticipate, prepare for and resolve incidents of inter-group conflicts and disputes within the City. He stated that their strategic plan said they were suppose to be involved in dissipating and resolving any City dispute, but they were sidestepped. Mr. Rocha stated that it was too much information for a mission statement, which should be something they can memorize. Mr. Gaddis stated that there was a request to modify the mission statement in early 2017 to make it briefer. He noted that he and former member Theodore Henderson came up with a variation to the mission statement. Mr. Gaddis stated that Ms. Paige also made a couple of modifications with him. He noted that Ms. Paige also worked

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 4 with a former member to review more of the mission statement but the commission has not resolved it. Mr. Gaddis stated that the idea was to make the mission statement brief enough to make sense on the DHRC brochure. Mr. Fleming stated that City Council had gradually reduced the Commission’s ability to get out into the community by limiting where they can meet and how often. Mr. Fleming asked how can people get to the commission with their concerns and noted that they do not have an intake form anymore. Mr. Rocha suggested submitting the intake form with the strategic plan to Council. Ms. Mullen asked if it would be possible to post notices for DHRC Meetings on DoverTV. Ms. Janella Tauchus, Administrative Assistant, stated that every meeting is posted on the City’s website and at the entrance of City Hall. Ms. Tauchus also noted that an email is sent out every time meeting information is posted or updated on the City’s website, but that she would check on having the DHRC meeting times and any cancellations posted on DoverTV. Ms. Mullen noted that she had to prepare an elevator speech to share with Homeowner’s Associations and it was like a mission statement condensed enough that someone could share it in an elevator. Mr. Rocha noted that the elevator speech should be the Commission’s mission statement. Mrs. Herbert stated that the mission statement listed on the DHRC Strategic Plan 2015-2018 tries to tell them what they do, how they do it, and who they do it for, but it does not say why they exist. She noted that the Commission’s goal was to make Dover a safe and livable community for all of its citizens. Mr. Rocha stated that it could be a mission statement and then talk about the mission statement through the paragraphs, but the mission statement itself should be like an elevator speech. He noted something one to two sentences, three at most, and then they can capture the essence of three sentences and talk about it. Mr. Gaddis stated that he would work with Mr. Rocha on shortening the mission statement to bring forward at the next DHRC meeting scheduled for July 18, 2019. Mrs. Herbert stated that one of the things she was working on with Ms. Mullen was to promote and encourage communication and cooperation between all groups interested in bettering human relations in the City. She stated that they have not gotten a group together and noted that they always talk about all the churches, but there are other groups that want to better the City. Ms. Mullen noted that she wanted to have a community gathering on the Green and that City Council said no. Mr. Rocha stated that there are a lot of policies for that and that he understood. He noted that he was trying to figure out how members are saying “no we can’t” and

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 5 maybe that might not be the way to go but they have to figure out, or at least coordinate with City Council to find out what, based on the Code the Commission can do because the way he read it, it does not limit them to anything. Mrs. Herbert stated that Ms. Mullen has tried to do outreach and stated that it should not be that hard. She noted that the hardest thing is finding somebody willing to do it. Mr. Gaddis stated that they should present their ideas to City Council as a Commission, not as individual members. Mr. Rocha stated that maybe City Council does not want the Commission to sponsor, host, or be the face of the whole event. Mr. Gaddis stated that there is a lot in the mission statement that was determined for the years 2015 through 2018 that they are suppose to be doing, but there are things that they cannot do. He noted not just because Council may not be letting them, but they are nine (9) people. He stated that they have all kinds of long term objectives and mission components under the mission statement. Mr. Gaddis reviewed the DHRC Strategic Plan 2015-2018, subsection Long-term Objectives, B.1. Responding to Mr. Gaddis, Mr. Fleming stated that they can invite representatives from each of the groups that they can identify to come in and speak to the Commission, but they would need to come to a meeting. Mr. Gaddis stated that was one of the problems. Mr. Fleming noted that back in the day the Human Relations Commission was instrumental in getting weekend bus service because people came in and said they really needed a way to get around on the weekends and busses did not run. Mr. Fleming stated that they got individuals to come in from Chesapeake Utilities during the winter months to talk about how someone could cut their bill. He noted that they should go to the homeless shelters, have dinners, and get out and mingle, but they have not been able to do that because they have to meet at City Hall four (4) times a year. Mrs. Herbert stated that when Ms. Mullen was discussing the unity day, it would not have been the Commission putting it on, but a group of citizens who wanted to see better relationships getting together and doing it. Ms. Mullen noted that it was an opportunity for members to educate communities on what the Commission does, why they exist, their purpose, and mission. She stated that the Code is a bunch of words, like a law, but a law that is not enforced is just a bunch of words on a piece of paper. Mrs. Herbert stated that based on the City’s Code regarding the Dover Human Relations Commission they could pick three (3) or four (4) things that they felt they could really do. She stated she had trouble with the research and writing up programs, noting that it was too much to ask. Mrs. Herbert noted that she could not believe that they have not been able to get together a group of people who care about the relationship of their citizens in Dover. She stated that they are willing to work

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 6 to create better relationships and noted that she believes the reason why people were leaving the Commission was because they could not figure out what they are suppose to do to get people to know the Commission exists. Mrs. Herbert stated that if people do not know they exist, they cannot help them or be proactive on their behalf. Referring to Chapter 58 - Human Relations, Article II. - Human Relations Commission, Sec. 58-31. - Purpose - (4) Issues, Mr. Rocha stated from his perspective the word “offered” means that the Commission does not have to conduct the programs or services. He noted that the Commission can refer to People’s Place or other similar places and the Commission does not have to do the work, but they should have relationships with organizations to do the work and advocate for them. Mrs. Herbert stated that she had an issue with Sec. 58-36. - Power and duties - (5) Research, education, etc. Responding to Mr. Gaddis, Mr. Rocha stated that he was looking at the City’s Code to use to create a basis. Mr. Rocha noted that they could create their own strategic plan as long as it aligns with the City Code. He noted that if they submit their strategic plan he suggests having a meeting with Council members because Council has responsibilities of appointment. Mr. Rocha noted that each council person from each district should be the recruiters. He noted that if Council needs to hold a forum in their district they could invite Commissioners to come and talk to the citizens. Mr. Rocha noted that if someone volunteers to be a Commissioner, they should be filling those slots. Mrs. Herbert stated that she has gotten very frustrated because she feels that the Commission could make a big difference in the City if they were allowed to actually know what they were doing and that the strategic plan has to agree with the City’s Code, but it does not have to be so cumbersome or confusing. She noted that she does not see anything in the plan that would have kept Ms. Mullen from having somebody come speak or having an event. Mrs. Herbert asked how to do outreach if you do not deal with people. Mr. Rocha stated that the Code tells members to do community outreach because they want to prevent things from happening, to build a cohesiveness. He noted that if members develop their own relationships with Council in some form or fashion, once they get the strategic plan done, Council will get a better understanding based on their relationships on what they intend to do. He stated that if they do it on their own and have meetings and submit ideas there is a disconnect and that they need to bring Council in. Mr. Rocha noted it was good seeing Mayor Christiansen at a previous meeting. He suggested sending a letter to Council and inviting them to one of the DHRC meetings. Mrs. Herbert stated that she hoped to do a roundtable style meeting with Council. Ms. Mullen stated that she has a relationship with two of her Councilmen and that all she would have to do is just request them to attend.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 7 Mr. Fleming stated that the people that started the demise of the DHRC are gone and that this is what they are stuck with now. Mr. Rocha stated that they have to bring it back together. Mrs. Herbert stated that if the demise came five years ago, the current people will not know that it is any different than it was five years ago. Mr. Rocha stated that he could not find the Chapter 58 - Human Relations section of the City’s Code by navigating the City’s website. He suggested having at least Chapter 58 - Human Relations, Article II - Human Relations Commission, Sec. 58-31 - Purpose listed on the DHRC section of the City’s website. Mr. Gaddis suggested members divide into groups of two (2) or three (3) and work on the Long-Term objectives listed on the DHRC Strategic Plan 2015-2018, analyze the sections and revise them to bring back to the next DHRC meeting scheduled for July 18, 2019. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Gaddis stated that the next meeting would be a regular meeting. He stated that the concept for the groups is to look at the objectives and eliminate or simplify each one so that the strategic plan is something the commission can do. Mr. Gaddis stated that they are going to have a revised strategic plan if it takes members one or two meetings to deal with it. He stated that the Commission spends time complaining about what has happened in the past, what hasn’t worked, and why they are disgruntled. Mr. Gaddis stated that they should get something together that they can get gruntled about. Mr. Fleming stated that the intake form was mentioned on a previous brochure. He noted that if the Commission is going to put a new brochure together then they want the community to have access to them. Responding to Ms. Mullen, Mr. Fleming stated that the Commission would disseminate the brochure to people and that it could be picked up from City Hall. Mrs. Herbert stated they do not want to make it hard and that when she attended a meeting at the State, they went into executive session and everybody had to leave except the Commissioners because the person that was going to speak did not want the people that were there to know what she was going to talk about. Mr. Fleming noted that when they used intake forms it was just the individual and the Commission who had the complaint. Responding to Mrs. Herbert, Mr. Fleming stated that people would fill out an intake form and they would talk to them whether they thought they had an issue or not. They were trying to come up with fair treatment. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Fleming stated in the past if someone showed up to Open Forum they had an intake form or gave them one. He noted they would hear the complaint but not at that time. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mrs. Herbert stated that it was explained to her that they could go into executive session if there was something that they needed to talk about that was not appropriate for the other people.

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 8 Mr. Fleming noted that he would like to suggest to Council that DHRC should have the ability to meet outside of City Hall. He stated that the Commissioners are wanted out in the community and that they are not allowed to do that. Mr. Rocha noted that he did not understand how Commissioners were not allowed and that in the Code they are allowed until it is changed and voted on. Mr. Rocha stated that he could not see how Council could tell them they cannot do this and they cannot do that. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mrs. Herbert stated that if they were meeting to conduct business they had to have the meeting at City Hall and have a quorum, but if members decide to show up someplace or they are working with another group, sponsoring something, then it is not a meeting, but an activity. Mr. Gaddis stated that they were going to get that issue clarified. Mr. Fleming moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Dover Human Relations Commission Report, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent). DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION REPORT - JULY 18, 2019 The Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) met on July 18, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Gaddis presiding. Members present were Mr. Fleming, Mrs. Herbert, Ms. Paige, and Mr. Rocha. Ms. Mullen was absent. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Fleming moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mrs. Herbert and unanimously carried. Review Ordinance #2013-15 Amending Chapter 58 - Human Relations Mrs. Herbert reviewed Ordinance #2013-15, Section 58-31(5) - Intergroup conflict. She noted that she could see a large community, like the people with the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) and things like that, working to relieve the community tensions, but to her it speaks to maybe more than the Commission could actually do. Mr. Gaddis stated that it was what City Council wanted from the DHRC in 2013. Mrs. Herbert stated that she believed it was too much, unless they had the police and medical people and everybody else helping the Commission anticipate conflict, which would be great, but it would be very easy for a group of four (4) or five (5) people to have difficulty with that. Mr. Fleming noted that if City Council adopted some of the recommendations that the Commission was going to present based on their meetings over the last couple of

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 9 weeks with Mr. Gaddis, then perhaps it would be easier for members to meet that obligation. Mrs. Herbert asked where Mr. Fleming thought they needed to get the information to meet that obligation. Responding, Mr. Fleming stated that one of the things they were looking at was the intake form. He noted that if they were allowed to continue and approve intakes, they would normally get ahead of a problem. Mrs. Herbert stated that she was not opposed to intake forms, but was opposed to starting out with the intake forms. She noted that she thought members needed to know who they are and what they are doing before they start passing out intake forms. She noted that if members get an intake form, the person at the other end of it expects members to do something with it and they have to be prepared. Mr. Gaddis stated that one of the things that has bothered him since he became a Commissioner was the fact that all they do is meet and talk amongst themselves and do not seem to do anything. As Mr. Rocha mentioned, including the wording from Ordinance #2013-15, Section58-31 - Purpose, would remind Council that they decided what they wanted members to do and members have not been either able to or allowed to do what Council charged them with. Mr. Gaddis stated that he got together with Mr. Fleming and they had a couple of ideas about getting together and figuring out intergroup conflict or at least finding out who the groups are. Mr. Gaddis stated that to him it is one of the biggest questions. Ms. Paige stated that she shared Mr. Gaddis’ frustration, noting that members come and meet and spin their wheels. She advised that they had Mr. Nicholas Rodriguez, City Solicitor, come in and she still does not understand what members are supposed to be doing with the intergroup conflict. Ms. Paige noted that if the City is looking for members to come to them or come to the police and say you know, such and such is going to be protesting tomorrow or something is about to happen, she stated she is not the one necessarily for that. Mr. Fleming noted that he and Mr. Gaddis were going to put together a list, not of demands, of suggestions to send back to City Council for approval. He noted that if that is the case, then he thought members should do that because they came up with some pretty good ideas, but to put those in writing and submit them to City Council to get sort of a new start on the Commission. Member Reports - Revisions to the DHRC Strategic Plan, Section IV - Long-Term Objectives Mr. Gaddis stated that members were starting to talk about revisions to the City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2018 because it has not been done. He noted that the strategic plan was supposed to have expired in 2018 and it was time that members got to work on it. Mr. Gaddis noted that he was hoping over the next couple of meetings at least to try to come to some sort of consensus and synthesis as to a new or revised strategic plan that takes care of members’ concerns

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 10 and enables the DHRC to do things instead of just meeting once a month or four (4) or five (5) times a year. Mission Component - Subsection A (Gerald Rocha and Alan Gaddis) Mr. Rocha stated that he worked on shortening the mission statement with Mr. Gaddis quite a bit. He stated that the DHRC is to foster the philosophy of inclusion, intergroup cooperation and fair treatment in draft form. He stated that he broke out the five (5) goals that members will work towards and they came basically right off of the ordinance. Mr. Rocha stated that the DHRC works to promote and develop an environment of fairness, acceptance and mutual respect among its citizens; works to develop ways to measure and monitor community relations, particularly those that are sources of the intergroup conflict; works to involve all segments of the community and understanding and appreciating the benefits of positive and respectful intergroup relations, works to offer a range of programs and services that will help its residents and neighborhoods prevent and resolve issues of human relations. He stated that number five (5) of course is to develop ways of anticipating, preparing for and relieving community tensions arising from intergroup conflict. Mr. Gaddis stated to get more specific, one of the things he looked at with Mr. Rocha was that the concept of long term objectives repeat each time and he stated that he and Mr. Rocha agreed to get rid of the words long term and restate their objectives in such a way that they are achievable things that members can do or feel they can do. Mr. Gaddis reviewed a handout titled “Diversity Research Project Repeated,”. He stated that the diversity research project was available online and that the handout included the questions that were asked. Mr. Gaddis noted that, according to what he read, numbers one (1) through five (5) were online questions. He stated that in the study, it did not specify in the response sections to whom questions six (6) through nine (9) were directed. Mr. Gaddis stated that questions 10 - 20 went to the Human Resources Director. He noted that once members get their strategic plan revised, he wants to rerun that questionnaire not every three (3) years but at least once. Mr. Gaddis stated there are things that Council is going to have to allow members to do and enforce members to do when it comes to talking with people within City government and that could be a bit of a problem. Referring to IV. Long-Term Objectives, Mission Component A.2, he advised that when former member Theodore Henderson first broke members down into committee chairs, Mr. Gaddis was “Government chair,” and he tried to get in touch with the Chief of Police. He stated that the Chief could not find time to get together with him and Mr. Gaddis’ time was free. He stated that members need to have a little bit of reinforcement from City Council or perhaps eliminate A.2. Mr. Rocha suggested having a meeting with Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, to have a discussion on how she can help the Commission. He stated that Mrs. Mitchell would be able to assist the Commission in particular to Mission Component -

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 11 Subsection A. Mr. Rocha noted that the City Manager would be the conduit to helping members achieve what they are looking for. Mission Component - Subsection B (Sarah Herbert, Wanda Mullen, and Rita Mishoe Paige) Mrs. Herbert reviewed a handout titled “City of Dover Human Relation Commission Strategic Plan,”. She stated that Long-Term Objectives B.1 was the first thing members should do in order to be able to carry out the objectives of B. Mrs. Herbert stated that Mission Component - Long-term Objectives B.4 was removed because she and Ms. Mullen did not feel that was appropriate for a layman Commission to do. She noted that they felt that if somebody wanted an external education process, they really needed to look into getting people who actually did it for a living. Mr. Rocha stated that he agreed with removing Mission Component - Long-term Objectives B.4. He noted that once the Commission is up and running and completes what they have already talked about and refreshes the strategic plan, they could add Mission Component - Subsection B.4 later, not as far as implementing it, but monitoring a program that maybe something happens within the City. Mission Component - Subsection C (Gerald Rocha and Alan Gaddis) Mr. Gaddis reviewed Mission Component - C. He stated that one of the malfunctions that members might have is defining when a diversity inclusion occurs. Mr. Gaddis noted that one of the things they discussed would be to reinstate and/or modify the intake form so that members are aware of when something happens. He stated it's the awareness that is the biggest problem with implementing C.1. and suggested combining C.1 and C.2. Mr. Gaddis suggested making sure in the strategic plan that members know what exactly the State Human Relations Commission responsibilities are. He noted that the DHRC was bypassed regarding recent issues, as far as trying to refer it to Council, to the City, or to the State Human Relations Commission. Mr. Gaddis stated that possibly because Council or the Mayor or whoever was the first one to get the four (4) letters of that situation did not know that they were supposed to refer it to DHRC members, for them to refer it to the State. He noted that it was a bypass. Mrs. Herbert stated that she knew Ms. Nancy Maioff, State Human Relations Commission Liaison, would be willing to come and talk to DHRC members about what the State does at any time. Mr. Rocha stated that members know their limitations, then when something happens within the City, they should be able to determine whether or not it should be forwarded to the State because the DHRC was bypassed in the last situation. Mrs. Herbert noted that she knew the State only handled discrimination regarding accommodation and housing. Mr. Gaddis reviewed Mission Component - Subsection C.3. He stated that looking at the City’s ordinances from 2019 and back, it is a lot to look through and some of it may have nothing to do with discrimination or anything along that line. Mr. Gaddis suggested eliminating C.3. Ms. Paige stated that she would not want to

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 12 eliminate C.3 because she believes that members being concerned with whether or not the City has a diversity plan is one of the most important areas. Members need to be concerned about the City’s hiring practices, employment practices, employees rights in the grievance process, what happens if employees have a complaint within City employment, even beyond Human Resources and if they are not satisfied there. She noted that those are the things that she thinks that the DHRC needs to be concerned with. Ms. Paige stated that members also need to be able to hear complaints, which they have been told they cannot hear. She noted that if it is a matter of training, they could make a provision for members to get the training. Responding to Mrs. Herbert, Ms. Paige stated she did not know why they are collecting information from people who wanted help if the Commission was unable to hear complaints. Mr. Gaddis stated that members have been told they cannot hear complaints despite the fact that there is an ordinance that says they have certain authorities. Mr. Gaddis asked Ms. Paige to put her comments on paper to replace C.3. He noted that could be a big help, trying to get it down, of employer-employee relations and so on and instead of having one member or all of them collectively trying to go through all of the ordinances, to focus on something that focuses on discrimination. Mr. Fleming stated that he thought that would come about if they have access, or they are allowed to talk with the different departments within the City to find out how they function, and what some of their procedures are to guarantee fair hiring practices and things like that. He noted that members have not been able to do that. Responding to Mrs. Herbert, Mr. Gaddis stated that he did not think any of the members knew if the City had a lot of employees with the Unions or if most are non- Union. Mrs. Herbert noted that it would fit in with it, but she agreed with Ms. Paige that this was an area that should be looked into. She noted that she also agreed with Mr. Fleming, that people should start coming in and talking to members about what they do and how they do it. Mrs. Herbert reviewed Mission Statement - Subsection C.4 and noted that members have to identify, in particular, community organizations and that comes up under D. Mrs. Herbert noted that members have to come up with something that persuades City Council to say, "Yeah, you're allowed to do this." Mr. Rocha reviewed Ordinance #2013-15, Section 58-36. Powers and duties. Mr. Rocha noted there are seven (7) of the powers and duties that members are able to do. Section 58-36 (4) - Complaints, sounds as though members may be able to do an intake of a complaint, and come to a determination, and then send it up to the State Commission for it to be heard. Mr. Gaddis noted that attending mediation training and being exposed to People’s Place was beneficial for him. He stated that People’s Place has references from different sources and he was told that there are many ways to resolve conflict without putting somebody in jail or keeping somebody’s dog off another person’s property.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 13 Mr. Gaddis stated that it should be something members should include in Mission Component - Subsection C.4. Competency Transparency and Accountability - Subsection D (Paul Fleming and Alan Gaddis) Mr. Gaddis reviewed Competency Transparency and Accountability - Subsection D of the DHRC Strategic Plan 2015-2018. He stated that members cannot provide an update of the Commissions’ activities because they cannot do anything. Mr. Fleming stated that he worked with Mr. Gaddis about including or adding a statement saying that Council members will identify individuals in their district to serve on the DHRC. Mr. Fleming suggested having a chart with each district, including which Council members and DHRC Commissioner that serve in that area. He noted that members have been asking for a long time for Council to send them names. Mr. Fleming stated that it is the City Council’s job to identify members in their community that they would like to serve. Mr. Fleming noted that changing or adding that sentence would put a little pressure to get their Commission filled. He noted that the Commission meets with two (2) or three (3) commissioners and that there are districts not represented. Mr. Gaddis noted that the Second District is not represented and that he spoke with Mayor Christiansen at a get-together a few months ago to get the newly elected representative to find two (2) members, but it has not happened yet. Mr. Rocha stated that he spoke with Councilman Ralph L. Taylor, Jr. two (2) weeks ago and that he forwarded Mr. Taylor the City Ordinance on what the DHRC does so that Mr. Taylor could present it to his wife. Mr. Rocha stated she has it in her possession and he talked to her a little bit about what the Commission does. Mr. Rocha stated that he thought Mr. Taylor may be appointing his wife as a possible replacement for former member Theodore Henderson. Mr. Rocha noted that Mr. Taylor said he was going to actively look for his second individual. Mr. Fleming stated that Competency Transparency and Accountability - Subsection D.2 would be contingent upon some of the requests that they are going to eventually make to City Council to redefine what the Commission does, how they do it, and what they are allowed to do. He noted that those things would become more self- evident. Mr. Gaddis stated that members needed to get their flyer out once they know what they are doing. He noted that he was not sure how, but suggested having a mass mailing to every address in the City so that people in the City know that there is a Human Relations Commission. Mr. Gaddis stated that it is conceivable that the City gets a break on postage so it would not be as expensive. He also suggested getting a public service announcement on the radio. Mr. Gaddis noted that it was not hard to do if they were dealing with a religious-based organization and they could send them a quick note. He stated that getting to the religious organizations was a start

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 14 and that they also have other affiliations that they could use as a way to branch out and find out who they are talking about. Mrs. Herbert stated that one of the suggestions for Subsection B would be finding out who would be appropriate for members to join with. She noted that one of Ms. Mullen’s suggestions was to start inviting groups in to give them 15 minutes or so to tell members what they do, and what they can contribute. Mrs. Herbert noted that there are some groups that do not want to be involved, members won’t ask to come. Mr. Gaddis stated that he would like each pair or trio to come up with firm and ready to implement terms to fit what they would like the strategic plan to look like for the next DHRC meeting. Discussion - Intake Form Mr. Fleming moved to defer this item to the next scheduled DHRC meeting, due to time constraints, seconded by Mrs. Herbert and unanimously carried. Proposed Revisions to DHRC Brochure - Mission Statement Mr. Fleming moved to defer this item to the next scheduled DHRC meeting, due to time constraints, seconded by Mrs. Herbert and unanimously carried. Mr. Fleming moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:58 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Dover Human Relations Commission Report, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent). COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JULY 23, 2019 The Council Committee of the Whole met on July 23, 2019 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:02 p.m.), Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Sudler, Mr. Slavin, and Mr. Polce were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Garfinkel (Safety Advisory and Transportation), and Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation) was absent. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding.

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 15 ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Anderson requested the deletion of item 2A, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Recommendations, Sponsoring Event - Paris to Pittsburgh, noting that he had concerns about considering the item before members had a link to view the movie. Mr. Anderson moved to delete item 2A, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Recommendations, Sponsoring Event - Paris to Pittsburgh. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved for adoption of the agenda, as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Update - Safety Issues at the Library During the Council Committee of the Whole/Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting of June 25, 2019, consideration of this item was deferred. Mr. Zachery Carter, 248 Mifflin Road, Chair of the Dover Public Library Advisory Commission, and a past member of the Delaware Council on Libraries, expressed concerns regarding the locking of the bathrooms at the Library, explaining that he did not think it was an answer for security issues. He noted that the former library building was an approximately 17,000 square foot building with two floors open to the public, and full-time security guards when the building was open. Mr. Carter stated that the new library building is 46,000 square feet with three floors open to the public, and security is not typically present whenever the building is open and when security is present, it is typically only one person. He stated that he thought the area is too large for the staff to be responsible for any security issues that occur, noting that their job is to serve the public using the facility. Mr. Carter reminded members that the former library building had a counter on the door and approximately 1,000 people entered the building each day and, although, the new library building doesn’t have a counter, he thought there were more people entering the building each day as a result of the passport services, larger conference area, and expansion of the teen area. In regard to the locks on the bathrooms, Mr. Carter shared that he attended a meeting at the library about a month ago and an older man with mobility issues was in attendance and needed to use the restroom. He explained that he did not think the man would have been able to make it to the circulation desk to get the key and back to the restroom in time, noting that Ms. Margie Cyr, Library Director, was there and escorted the man to the staff bathroom. Mr. Carter stated that he did not think there were a lot of security problems at the library, based on the police records. He noted that a few incidents occurred there recently; however, there was no security present at those times. Mr. Taylor stated that he had visited the Library and spoke to several staff members regarding the bathroom issues, who relayed that the bathroom being locked was one of the best things that ever happened, indicating that drinking and drug usage had decreased, so he supported the locking of the bathrooms. He noted that the most

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 16 significant issues he had heard of were related to inconsistency with the employees and the rules, as well as homeless individuals sleeping with their feet on furniture, loudness, and lewd acts. Mr. Taylor noted that the Police Department Cadets are at the Library from 12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and he firmly believes that the Department will do the absolute best job that can be done. Mr. Cole noted that he serves as the Council liaison to the Dover Public Library Advisory Commission and they had discussed the activity that had been occurring at the Library during their meetings over the last few months and locking the bathroom doors was done to help alleviate the issues. He noted that Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, had discussed an alternative approach to tackling the issues during the Commission’s last meeting and, depending on how that approach is developed, he thought the Library would be in a better position moving forward. Mr. Anderson stated that he did not like the idea of having locks on the bathrooms for the reasons outlined by Mr. Carter; however, he reluctantly supports it because it provides a way to balance security and allow accessibility. Mrs. Mitchell informed members that she met with the Dover Public Library Advisory Commission to try to alleviate some of their concerns and staff had made some progress in the manner in which the Library bathroom facility keys are handled. She indicated that she had talked to others, including Mr. Mike Petit de Mange, Kent County Administrator, regarding how they handle library security. Mrs. Mitchell explained that Kent County does not have security at their library because they do not have walk-in traffic like the City; however, they did experience some issues at their recreation center, so Mr. Petit de Mange used the state contract and hired an armed security guard. She noted that they also have a guard at the Kent County Levy Court building for security and the guard is certified by the Council on Police Training (COPT). Mrs. Mitchell stated that she presented this alternative to the Library Commission and Major Timothy Stump, Dover Police Department, who is on board. She advised that if the City chooses to hire an armed security guard rather than continue to utilize the Cadet Program for the Library, a guard would be there from open to close and would be there for the protection of the public as well as for staff. Mrs. Mitchell proposed that the City hire armed security guards and see how it works. She explained that there is a little more than $60,000 budgeted for the three (3) cadets and, based on the contracted hourly rate, the armed security guard would cost approximately $85,000 to cover all of the hours for the Library. She stated that she will have to find the additional money in the budget to cover this expense; however, she thought it would be worth trying, noting that she was hoping it would allow them to discontinue the temporary solution of the locks on the bathroom doors. Mr. Neil asked if the cadets who were currently stationed in the Library would be able to go out and patrol and help the Downtown Dover Partnership once the armed guard began at the Library. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that there were nine (9) cadets budgeted, of which six (6) are scheduled for downtown and three (3) for the Library. She explained that there were currently three (3) vacant

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 17 cadet positions and she had asked Major Stump if he would hold off on hiring those positions until after this matter is resolved. Mr. Anderson stated that he agreed with Mrs. Mitchell’s proposal, noting that he thought the Cadet Program had been a tremendous benefit to the City but that they are better on the street and in the parks than in the Library since there are not enough cadets to cover all of the Library’s hours. He explained that the Cadet Program had been so successful that many cadets had been hired by various police forces including the City’s and it’s hard to keep the positions filled. Mr. Anderson suggested that the cadets could still patrol the perimeter of the Library as part of their downtown patrol. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that he believed that the armed security guards did have arrest powers. Mr. Taylor expressed concern, explaining that he knows that the Dover Police officers and cadets are going to arrest when it’s necessary and communicate with the citizens. He stated that he can support the proposal as long as the guidelines are very clear. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that staff would ensure that the guidelines are clear and offered to share them with him to review. Mayor Christiansen noted that he would like to participate as well, since he is in charge of the Police Department and the responsibility for public safety is ultimately his. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she would love for him to participate. Ms. Jill Street, 500 Troon Road, read the following statement: Councilmembers and Believers in Dover, I come to you today as a long-time member of this community and appointed member of the Library Advisory Council. I am a mother of 4 young children, ages 6, 4, and 2 year old twins. I am a previous employee of Capital School District and current weekend employee with Bayhealth’s Speech Language Pathology department. My parents settled here in the early seventies after a transfer to DAFB from their native Kansas. I am a proud graduate of Dover High School, Clemson University, and the Univ of Tenn - Knoxville. And I believe in Dover. I frequent the library with my 4 children. We know most staff and volunteers by name. At check out, part of our routine is "counting the cadets" who "keep us safe". I have brought my children as newborns there, breastfed and potty trained, and hope to continue to access a pillar of the downtown community. In recent months, it has come to my attention through the Library Advisory Council, that some incidents have led to a series of events. As a library council we have discussed solutions. I have thought of my safety and that of my children. I do not feel dead bolt locks on the doors was the best solution to safety for all. This is not about locks or bathrooms though. It is about how people feel downtown, specifically at the library. I do believe that we are at a time that there is a need for

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 18 increased security at the library. If we do not change perceptions, or some sad realities, that there is a problem with how people feel when they come to downtown, I believe that we will see a further decline. I would like to see Council support a minimum of 3, my notes originally say guards or cadets, I know there’s debate about paid, not paid, power of arrest, no power of arrest, and our already stretched police force, so a minimum of three people, to be decided by people who know better than I, to patrol all 3 floors and 46, 000 square feet and three floors including breaks, bathrooms, etc., during all business hours. Believing in Dover means not ignoring the realities that exist in our community today. For us to continue to “Believe in Dover” and encourage it's continued economic development, we must change this feeling and have all community members accessing the library. With increased security, my hope is that not only will the library thrive, but grow and expand its affect on the positive things that are here. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend giving Mrs. Mitchell the authority to go forward to research a better way of doing business at the Library and to bring it back to the Committee, seconded by Mr. Garfinkel. Mr. Hare expressed his support for the armed security guard at the Library. At the request of Mr. Cole, Ms. Susan Elizabeth Cordle, introduced herself explaining that she had just moved from Georgia at the end of April and was now the new Head of Youth Services at the Library. She stated that she helps oversee all programs related to children and teens. Mr. Cole asked if they were seeing an increase in teens at the Library. In response, Ms. Cordle advised that the Library was extremely short-staffed, and the teens were struggling as a result. She stated that they were currently in the process of filling three (3) vacant positions: a part-time Librarian I, a part-time Library Assistant, and a full-time Library Assistant. Ms. Cordle advised that they had selected someone for the Librarian I position; however, that individual was not able to follow through, so they would be starting over. She advised that once the positions are filled, staff will be concentrating on the teen area, explaining that there was currently a strong team in the children’s area. Mr. Neil moved to call the question, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. The motion to recommend giving Mrs. Mitchell the authority to go forward to research a better way of doing business at the Library and to bring it back to the Committee was unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent).

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 19 Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Recommendation - Adoption of By-Laws Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, informed members that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee had drafted a set of by-laws which they adopted in May 2014. She stated that the City would prefer not to have by-laws for a subcommittee but to revert back to the original motion for the approval of the subcommittee by Council. Mrs. Mitchell advised that Council approved the creation of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee consisting of five (5) City residents that would be advisory to the City, Dover/Kent Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee (SA&T), with participation from City departments, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and the Dover/Kent MPO. She explained that she thought that the City needs the input of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee; however, preparing agendas and minutes for the formal meetings in compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and attending the meetings requires a lot of extra staff time. Mrs. Mitchell asked that it be an advisory committee as originally intended and approved by Council in 2012, without having separate by-laws. She noted that she was not aware of any other City committees with separate by-laws, only separate 501(c)(3)’s that the City had established that have by-laws. Mr. Anderson noted that other City organizations and commissions, including the Dover Human Relations Commission, have their own by-laws which were approved by Council. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that the difference was that those groups were not subcommittees of a Council Committee of the Whole (CCW) Subcommittee like the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee. Mrs. Mitchell informed members that the City was the only community in Delaware with a committee like this. She noted that Newark has two (2) bicycle groups that are separate 501(c)(3)’s that serve in an advisory capacity but are not part of a council subcommittee. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the groups hold their own meetings and then go to the city to discuss their transportation projects. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the by-laws state that the Subcommittee will have seven (7) members who are a mix of people who are frequent bicyclists or pedestrians; however, Council approved a subcommittee of five (5) members that are city residents, to be appointed by the SA&T chair after discussion with staff and never approved the by-laws. Mr. Anderson noted that even though Council did not approve the by-laws, they approved the individual appointment of the members. He asked if she would have any objection to Council changing the number of members to seven (7) in order to keep all of the current active members. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she did not have any objection to the number of people if Council doesn’t, noting that her concern is that all of the members are city residents and that the Subcommittee go back to Council’s original intention. Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, noted that Subcommittee members are appointed by the SA&T chair and the appointments are not brought to Council for approval.

Page 25

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 20 Mr. Anderson asked if city resident would apply to someone within the corporate limits of Dover or a Dover address. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell explained that city resident would mean within the corporate limits of Dover. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that no other subcommittees have by-laws or can dismiss members. Mr. Gerry Pennington, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Chair, informed members that when he was appointed to the Subcommittee they were operating under the by-laws adopted by the Subcommittee on May 6, 2014 and he was not aware that they had not gone before Council. Mr. Chris Asay, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee member, stated that he had served on the Subcommittee since its creation. He recalled that staff had initially suggested five (5) members and a subsequent public meeting was held regarding the bicycle committee that was so well attended that it was suggested to increase the number of members to seven (7); however, according to the minutes, there was no formal motion. Mr. Asay stated that shortly after that time, those who volunteered to serve received an email from the former Director of Planning and Community Development, Mrs. Ann Marie Townsend, announcing that the Subcommittee would consist of seven (7) members and listing them. He explained that the Subcommittee had always had seven (7) members unless there was a vacancy, and the purpose of formulating by-laws was simply to provide a mechanism for replacing members who were no longer active. Mr. Asay informed members that one of the original members only attended the first couple of meetings and then stopped attending but did not resign, so they had trouble obtaining a quorum. In response to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Asay stated that he did not recall whether or not they used the mechanism in the by-laws for removing that original member. He advised that since that time, they had not needed to use it because members had formally resigned. Mr. Taylor explained that the by-laws were not approved by the City, and if the mechanism were used, the liability could be devastating. Mr. Asay stated that he thought that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee had been able to achieve their accomplishments over the past six (6) years because they were a subcommittee of SA&T. He explained that in 2013, they began meeting twice a month in order to meet the League of American Bicyclists’ application deadline for status as a bicycle-friendly community. Mr. Asay noted that they were able to submit that application because of their connection to the City and, although the application was not approved in 2013, they were provided feedback for improvements and were awarded bike-friendly status in 2017. He stated that they were also able to develop pedestrian and bicycle plans because of the connection to the City. Mr. Asay informed members that their bicycle plan helped further their goals towards becoming a bike-friendly community and set significant priorities for the construction of bicycle paths that were conveyed through the City to DelDOT and the Dover/Kent MPO.

Page 26

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 21 Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Asay explained that when there is a need to replace a member of the Subcommittee, they make a recommendation to the SA&T chair and the chair usually selects that individual. Mr. Taylor noted that he had attended a Subcommittee meeting and this process had occurred; however, upon submitting an individual’s name to City staff, it was determined that the Subcommittee consisted of five (5) members, not seven (7), so there was not technically a vacancy. Mr. Neil asked whether the Subcommittee needs the help of City staff for their clerical work or if they could function without it. In response, Mr. Asay stated that he would leave that to the judgement of the City Clerk or someone else who understands FOIA requirements. He noted that City staff attends their monthly meeting which lasts one (1) hour, prepares the minutes, creates the agenda for the next meeting, and archives the information in the City records. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought a positive good had been accomplished because they are a subcommittee that reports to the CCW/SA&T Committee and Council and has kept members informed in ways that an advisory committee might not. He noted that he is very skeptical of committees that keep their own records because it creates issues and he did not think the City should go that way. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought that the City should continue to recognize the importance of the Subcommittee and work out the details. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend the acceptance of staff’s recommendation to go back to Council’s 2012 intent for the Subcommittee, seconded by Mr. Neil. In response to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Lindell clarified that the intent of his motion was for five (5) members. He explained that he thought the more members you add to a committee, the more you get away from the purpose and overall productivity of a committee, and since the Subcommittee has open public meetings, anyone can attend and comment on the agenda items if they are interested. Mr. Hare asked if Mr. Asay was attending meetings on behalf of the City, noting that the Dover/Kent MPO and staff from various state agencies had contacted him to ask whether Mr. Asay was representing the City. Responding, Mr. Asay explained that he is also a member of the MPO Public Advisory Committee (PAC) and when he attends the MPO meetings, he does so as a member of the MPO PAC and speaks as a citizen. Mrs. Mitchell clarified that the Subcommittee had done a lot of work and she did not want to discount it; however, she explained that the good work would have been done whether or not they were connected to the City because their goals and accomplishments are included in the City’s Code, Comprehensive Plan, and Council’s goals. Mr. Taylor noted that Mr. Asay stated that the Subcommittee utilizes City staff for one (1) hour per month and asked whether staff had exceeded that hour. In response,

Page 27

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 22 Mrs. Mitchell stated that staff had exceeded one (1) hour per month and they’ve asked to allow more overtime. She noted that she was unsure whether it was necessary to have monthly meetings since some of the items were repetitive and she wasn’t sure if the Subcommittee was subject to FOIA requirements. Responding, Mrs. McDowell stated that she would have to check with the City Solicitor, because she was not sure the Subcommittee is subject to open meeting laws since the members are not confirmed by Council. Mr. Taylor advised members that he had communicated with Mr. Hare, Mr. Pennington, and Mr. Asay and it had been made clear that Mr. Taylor would be the individual to represent the City in any necessary meetings. He stated that Mr. Asay agreed to keep him informed and take him with him whenever there is something of importance to be done. Mr. Anderson moved to amend the motion to allow up to seven (7) members with the filled positions counting as quorum, seconded by Mr. Cole. Mr. Neil stated that he did not know how essential it was to have seven (7) members since they have open meetings and anyone can participate. Mr. David Moses, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee member, noted that he had also served on the Subcommittee since its creation and they had always worked with seven (7) members. He stated that every member had contributed a unique set of skills that enabled the Subcommittee to accomplish what they had for the City. Mr. Moses noted that the Subcommittee had achieved bicycle-friendly status in the City, partnered with Capital School District to teach bicycle safety, and held events in coordination with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. He stated that he had personally donated resources, funding, and tuition, and all of the Subcommittee members had donated thousands of hours in the past seven (7) years to do good things that bring value and taxpayers into the City. Mr. Moses informed members that he thought that having 10 members on the Subcommittee would better serve the City; however, with seven (7), they are able to divvy up the responsibilities and come back to every meeting better prepared. He noted that their former chairman was not a City resident; however, he brought a lot to the table and helped them accomplish a lot, which Mr. Moses thought was more important. Mr. Moses expressed his concern that instead of looking at the value of the Subcommittee, the cost to the City and whether members are City residents were becoming issues. He explained that the City has the potential to earn additional revenue through the bicycle-friendly status and the safer communities for pedestrians and bicyclists that members of the Subcommittee work on tirelessly with no compensation. Mr. Lindell stated that he did not think anyone was questioning the worth of the Subcommittee, noting that the successes could be seen all around the City. He explained that if reaching a quorum was a concern, having five (5) members would make is easier to obtain the quorum requirement and he was looking at it as a best practice to keep it the way it was intended. Mr. Lindell stated that if there was a

Page 28

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 23 decrease in productivity as a result, then members could reconsider the number of members. Mr. Jayce Lesniewski, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee member, noted that he had also served on the Subcommittee since its creation. He stated that former Councilman Hutchison presented the idea of increasing the number of Subcommittee members to seven (7) during the SA&T Committee meeting of January 30, 2013 because of the level of interest expressed. Mr. Lesniewski explained that although the proposal to increase the number of members was not approved by the Committee, there had always been seven (7) members dedicated to the Subcommittee and he did not think the City should reduce it to five (5). The motion to amend the original motion to allow up to seven (7) members with the filled positions counting as quorum was carried with Mr. Lindell voting no. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent). Mr. Hare asked whether the Subcommittee had thought of becoming a corporation like the Newark bike committee, so they could control all the money they earn and what they do with it. He stated that if they formed a 501(c)(3), they would no longer be affiliated with the City but could still make recommendations. He explained that they would be able to adopt by-laws and have complete control over the number of members. In response, Mr. Moses indicated that the Subcommittee had not thought about that because they did not think there was anything wrong with the current structure. He stated that he thought that the Subcommittee had been very valuable to the City, noting that it was certainly much more valuable than the time it takes to pay a clerk to make sure that they are doing things the right way and their time and efforts are documented properly. Mr. Moses advised that the Subcommittee had only had a problem obtaining a quorum once or twice and the benefit of having seven (7) people with different abilities and skill sets to divvy the work among was much more important than obtaining a quorum. In response to Mr. Moses comments, Mr. Neil explained that if they have dedicated people who want to volunteer, they do not have to be members to be involved. He reminded them that anyone is welcome to attend public meetings and if they put people to work who are interested in helping, then they will be ready to step in if a vacancy occurs. Mr. Hare stated that he thought the Subcommittee had done a lot of good things but reminded them that they cannot do things on their own without Council approval. Responding, Mr. Taylor advised that he had communicated with everyone on the Subcommittee, so they are all aware that any information that needs to be disseminated to Council should be provided to him.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 24 The motion to recommend acceptance of staff’s recommendation to go back to Council’s 2012 intent for the Subcommittee, as amended to allow up to seven (7) members with the filled positions counting as quorum was carried with Mr. Lindell voting no. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent). Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Taylor moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Establishment of a Community Certificate of Honor Program for Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs) to Recognize Exceptional and/or Longtime Service to the HOA (Neil) Mr. Neil requested consideration for the establishment of a Community Certificate of Honor Program for homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and civic associations to recognize exceptional and/or longtime service to the HOA. He noted that the purpose of the Honor Program is to encourage participation in association activities and to honor those who have provided longtime service. Mr. Neil provided members with a sample Third District proclamation, explaining that he and Mr. Cole often recognize individuals on special occasions with one of these unofficial documents. He stated that members can already request certificates of recognition; however, he suggested sending notices in the electric bills to inform people that they can submit a bio to the City Clerk’s Office to determine if an individual should be recognized. Mr. Lindell stated that he thought it was a good idea; however, he did not know whether the City needed to establish a program for it since members could already request to have certificates of recognition prepared and placed on an agenda. He noted that establishing a program would add another thing for the Clerk’s Office to do. Mr. Taylor stated that he believed this was a very good idea and asked if this would be a strain on the City Clerk’s Office to take on this project. Responding, Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, stated that this project would definitely be more work. She explained that it would not be up to her to decide who should or should not be

Page 30

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 25 honored. Mrs. McDowell reminded members that the Awards Committee reviews nominations for awards of the City of Dover Medal and if the City were to establish this program, a similar committee would need to be established to do the evaluations. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Neil for his proposal, indicating that he thought it was meant to ensure that individuals in the city who are often unseen and unnoticed but put a lot of time and effort in to valuable work, get the proper due. He stated that he thought this proposal was worthy of further discussion and expressed his hope that it would also include the very valuable work done by neighborhood watch groups. Mr. Contant stated that he understood the HOAs going unappreciated, explaining that the people in the neighborhoods do not like dealing with the HOAs, and the people on the boards don’t like serving; however, someone has to do it. He noted that he thought civic associations, neighborhood watch organizations, and local churches have huge impacts. Mr. Contant suggested that the City could continue their current practice of Council members requesting certificates without additional work to the City Clerk’s Office or having an additional committee to review applicants, which would save resources. Mrs. McDowell advised that the request form for ceremonial documents was currently available on the City of Dover website, under “Government,” and then “Ceremonial Documents.” She stated that this was not in lieu of a committee but an existing option. Mr. Neil stated that he was not insistent upon having a committee, but hoped that this would serve as a reminder to members of Council that the opportunity to recognize people exists and spur interest in making sure those people are honored for their service to the community. Mr. Anderson stated that members also have the option of presenting certificates during specific events, noting that in the past the City Clerk’s Office had prepared certificates for him to present at graduations, church events, championship playoff games, etc. instead of during a Council meeting. Mayor Christiansen noted that he and former Councilman Fred VanSant developed the idea and criteria for the City of Dover Medal in 1990. He stated that he thought Mr. Neil had a great idea because there are a lot of great people who do a lot of great things in the city community and deserve recognition; however, he was not sure a committee was needed. Mr. Neil stated that this matter was brought forward for the purpose of discussion and, if it began to pick up, they could do something about it later.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019 PAGE 26 Proposed Ordinance #2019-17 - Amending Appendix C - Downtown Redevelopment and Appendix D - Downtown Dover Business Improvement District (Sponsor: CCW/LF&A Committee) Mr. Neil noted that Proposed Ordinance #2019-17 was recommended by Mr. Slavin and suggested deferring consideration of the ordinance due to Mr. Slavin’s absence. Mr. Neil moved to defer consideration of Proposed Ordinance #2019-17 until the next Committee meeting that Mr. Slavin is available to attend. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2019-18 - Amending Chapter 2 - Administration, Article IV - Officers and Employees, Division 1 - Generally, Section 2-201 - Compensation and Expenses for Mayor, Council, and Other Elected or Appointed Officials (Sponsors: Slavin and Neil) Mr. Neil reviewed proposed Ordinance #2019-18, explaining that this amendment would eliminate the Compensation Commission. He indicated that Council terms were increased from two (2) years to four (4) years; however, there was no change to members’ salary. Mr. Neil stated that he thought that members should make the decision regarding their salary, noting that they cannot immediately benefit from it, due to the way the law is written. He noted that members put a lot of time into their positions and he thought that the cost of becoming a member of Council is beyond what members are compensated. He stated that he believed members could keep an eye on the money and the cost of carrying out their duties. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Ordinance #2019-18, seconded by Mr. Hare. Mr. Anderson stated that he favored the elimination of the Compensation Commission because the City’s Charter has a proper safeguard which requires an election before any potential raises take place, so the voters are the check and balance to prevent any abuses of the system. He noted that the Compensation Commission was a well intended mechanism; however, it was difficult to get individuals to volunteer to serve and, due to bureaucracy, it had not really worked. Mr. Anderson stated that with the tax increase, he did not think Council would be proposing any raises in the next few years. The motion to recommend adoption of Ordinance #2019-18 was unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Cole and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lindell and Slavin absent). Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.

Mr. Anderson announced that Destiny Christian Church would be having a book bag giveaway at noon on Sunday and DEMCO will hold one on Sunday the 25th. He suggested contacting those organizations or looking at his Facebook page, David Anderson for Dover, for more details. Mr. Sudler thanked the Downtown Dover Partnership, Ms. Tina Bradbury, and the Dover Parks and Recreation division for the movie night that was held on Kirkwood Street a few weeks ago. He noted that it was a great event attended by a very diverse group of individuals from all ages and ethnicities.

We are working with Veteran organizations, politicians, Wilmington University, financial institutions, and grant providing agencies to come up with unique solutions to housing Veterans. Dr. Clinton Robertson, Director at WilmU is Mike's mentor and instructor for this project. This is critical as the program will have the backing of the University which is also working on related community improvement projects in central Delaware. The overreaching goal is to develop new and unique housing and living opportunities that go beyond how services are currently being delivered. We believe the most common method of providing housing for these groups are not as effective as they could be, because all aspects of providing housing and services are not considered. The premises of this initiative are: 1. Delaware has been battling the homeless crisis and, we believe, not providing the most comprehensive housing and living opportunities for Veterans. 2. This is a solvable problem . As we begin building these new communities and learning what works best and what needs "tuning", we plan on rolling this out in multiple communities throughout the State of Delaware. 3. The current method of providing housing for these individuals is not delivering the best possible, most comprehensive services to the clientele being served. 4. Too often, providers have only been able to implement services in segments when a more comprehensive effort is needed. 5. The current method of providing housing does not always consider the aspect of preparing our Veterans to become or remain productive members of society. 6. The Voice of the Customer (VOC), which is the most important aspect of driving a new initiative such as this, is critical and yet not being listened to. 7. Veterans, our communities, and stakeholders will benefit from bringing unique housing methods and systems to those in need in Delaware. 8. As part of this project, we intend to partner with the non-profits in this sector, the State of Delaware and local communities, politicians, Wilmington University and any other related parties that can provide value to this initiative. 9. By holding conferences, hosted by Wilmington University, we believe we can gain valuable insight to the issues surrounding the homeless Veterans. 10. Mike Herman and WilmU do NOT claim to have all the answers. The conferences we hold will focus on brainstorming new ideas for solving the homeless crisis for these clientele mentioned here. 11. We plan on using the Six Sigma tool, PDCA (Plan, Do, check, Act) to insure we not only develop the best opportunities but that we continue to improve the concept in each new community moving forward.

PETITION TO AMEND TEXT of Dover Zoning Ordinance Report to the Dover City Council for September 9, 2019 Report on Recommendation of Planning Commission from August 19, 2019 with Development Advisory Committee Review Report Proposed Changes: Text Amendments to the following: • Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix B: Zoning (Zoning Ordinance) o Article 3 – District Regulations, Section 20A – Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone –Technology Center (IPM2) o Article 4 – Zoning Bulk and Parking Regulations, Section 4.16 – M, IPM Zones o Article 12 – Definitions Summary of Amendments: The proposed Text Amendments add provisions to the IPM2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Technology Center) zoning classification to clarify that business and professional services, data management, transshipment and distribution, and logistics support are permitted uses in the Zoning District. It also modifies the name of the Zoning District to IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center). Ordinance Number: Proposed Ordinance #2019-15 File Number: MI-19-04 Planning Commission Action: Following a Public Hearing on August 19, 2019 where no members of the public spoke, the Planning Commission voted (7-0) to recommend approval of the proposed Text Amendment related to uses, definitions, and the name of the IPM2 Zone. Discussion of the Planning Commission included questions on the proposed uses in the zoning district. See the included Excerpt of the Meeting Minutes of the August 19, 2019 Planning Commission meeting.

MI-19-04 Text Amendments: IPM2 Zone Planning Commission Recommendation Report for September 9, 2019 Page 2 of 3 The following Report was prepared regarding MI-19-04 Text Amendments: IPM2 Zone. This includes the City Planner’s Report and comments received on the proposed Text Amendment. This information was provided to the Planning Commission for their August 19,2019 meeting. MI-19-04 Development of the Text Amendments The IPM2 zoning district was created to accompany the City’s acquisition (in 1999) and development of the Garrison Tract as a business and technology center. It is located on the north side of White Oak Road to the east of State Route 1. The site with the associated IPM2 zoning was named the Garrison Oak Technical Park and marketed as such. The property underwent a subdivision application review process in 2009 as Application SB-09-06 to subdivide the land into a series of lots with Garrison Oak Drive (public street) and to plan the other infrastructure elements for future development. The primary purpose of the facility was to attract high tech types of businesses; hence, the zoning provisions were specifically limited. Epilogue language in the FY2000 State Capital Improvement Budget (Bond Bill) associated with state financial assistance specified that the Park was targeted to “information technology, life sciences, semiconductor fabrication, scientific research and development, and high-tech manufacturing jobs. Since its establishment only a limited number of firms have located in the facility. These being Garrison Energy Center (Calpine gas turbine power plant), Uzin Utz (a flooring manufacturer), White Oak Solar Energy (solar farm), and Advantech (a security firm). These were the subject of Site Development Plans for individual lots within the Park. Infrastructure improvements were also completed including the public street of Garrison Oak Drive, a City Water Tower and a Sanitary Sewer Pump Station. The City desires to secure occupants for the Park and as part of a new marketing approach. City Council adopted Resolution #2018-12 in December 2018 that modified the name of the facility to “Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center.” The new strategy is linked to the research performed for the Kent Economic Partnership (KEP) that the area is best suited for growth prospects in the logistics, warehousing and distribution sector. The proposed amendments are targeted to allow these additional uses while preserving the original intent of the Park. This amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is offered to reflect the expansion of the original purpose and nature of Garrison Oak Technical Park to reflect current business conditions and the changing marketplace; therefore, improving its marketability. Should adoption of these Text Amendments be successful, the name of the zoning district and the provisions relating to permissible uses would be modified but no parcels will be rezoned. Also, no new parcels are being considered for rezoning to the IPM2 classification at this time. Current Proposed Text Amendments Key components of the proposed Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance include the following: • Article 3 Section 20A – The Section title would be changed to add the word “Business” to the title of the district. The zoning district would be IPM2 (Industrial Park

Page 39

MI-19-04 Text Amendments: IPM2 Zone Planning Commission Recommendation Report for September 9, 2019 Page 3 of 3 Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center). • Article 3 Section 20A.13 – This section is amended to include business and professional services and data management in the list of permitted office uses. • Article 3 Section 20A.16 – This section is added to establish that warehousing, transshipment and distribution, and logistics support are included in the list of permitted uses. • Article 3 Section 20A.23 – This section is changed to delete warehousing from the list of prohibited uses since this use would now be permitted. • Article 3 Section 20A.6 and 20A.7 - Editing corrections to numbering sequence (changes to 20A.3 and 20A.4) and a reference correction. • Article 4 Section 4.16 - Changes to this section revise the zoning district name within the bulk standards and parking chart for the IPM2 Zone. • Article 12 Definitions - Changes to the definitions are provided to add definitions of the terms “Logistics”, Warehouse”, and Warehousing” whereas those terms are used in the zoning ordinance and which had not previously been defined. The City Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee was presented with the proposed Text Amendments at their June 11, 2019 Meeting. The Committee recommended approval of the proposed Text Amendments. The Ordinance received a First Reading at the June 24, 2019 City Council meeting. Because text amendments are proposed to the Zoning Ordinance, a Public Hearing and Recommendation by the Planning Commission are required. The Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for August 19, 2019. City Council will conduct a Public Hearing and take Final Action on proposed Ordinance #2019-15 at their meeting of September 9, 2019. At that meeting City Council may act to adopt the whole Ordinance, to adopt part of the Ordinance, and/or to make other amendments to the proposed text. Planning Review and Recommendations: Planning Staff developed the proposed Text Amendments for the IPM2 Zone; and therefore, recommend their adoption. The Planning Office provided an opportunity to Development Advisory Committee (DAC) members to comment on the proposed Text Amendments at their meeting on July 31, 2019. No negative comments were received. Planning Commission Review and Action Following a Public Hearing on August 19, 2019 where no members of the public spoke, the Planning Commission voted (7-0 of the members present)) to recommend approval of the proposed Text Amendment to broaden the uses in the IPM2 zone, add definitions, and revised the name of the zoning district. Discussion of the Planning Commission included questions on the proposed uses of the zoning district. See the included Excerpt of the Meeting Minutes of the August 20, 2019 Planning Commission meeting.

The proposed Ordinance allows for a broader range of potential uses in the IPM-2 zone while retaining the emphasis on technology versus general manufacturing uses. It also adds definitions for the following terms: logistics, warehouse, and warehousing. Ordinance #2019-15. • A copy of the Proposed Ordinance #2019-15 is available on the City’s website www.cityofdover.com under the Government Heading: Ordinances, Resolutions & Tributes. https://www.cityofdover.com/ordinances-and-resolutions • Amendments on June 11, 2019 and First Reading was held by City Council on June 24, 2019 where the Public Hearing dates were set for Planning Commission on August 19, 2019 and City Council on September 9, 2019. Representatives: None Mr. Hugg stated that the proposed Text Amendment adds provisions to the IPM-2 (Industrial Park and Manufacturing Zone – Technology Center) zoning classification to clarify the business and professional services, data management, trans-shipment and distribution and logistics support are permitted uses in the Zoning District. It also modifies the name of the Zoning District to IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Business and Technology Center). About twenty years ago the City and the State determined that this area of Kent County needed an additional industrial park that was devoted primarily to technology-based firms and at that particular time, the microchip industry was looking seriously at Delaware. The State provided money to the City to buy the property known as the Garrison Tract and in the course of that process; the City adopted the IPM-2 Technology Center Zoning District that exists today. There was language in the State Bond Bill back in 2000 that required that for at least a period of ten years, the primary uses be directed to information technology, life sciences, semi-conductor fabrications, scientific research and development and high-tech manufacturing jobs. As you know, we are now at almost twenty years later. Until about 2009 when the property was fully subdivided and improvements were met, there were essentially no uses of the property. The activities that are out there today are a solar park, a Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of August 19, 2019 Page 1 of 2

combined cycle gas fired energy generation facility, a flooring materials manufacturer and probably only use that is very consistent with the original intent; this year Advantech built their facility at this location. They are a high technology security firm so they may be the closest to what was originally envisioned. In September of last year, Kent County through their new Economic Partnership, commissioned a study by Rockport Technologies that looked at Kent County in terms of potential markets for new jobs and new business activity. One of the top three that emerged based on an analysis of what they call inputs and outputs was the wholesaling, logistics, and distribution area where there is about a $300 million deficiency. In other words, jobs that could be and would fit in Kent County and economic activity would have been directed elsewhere. The City, State and the KEP are all interested in making Kent County more attractive and more viable for those kinds and other kinds of industries. As part of our City marketing strategy, we went to City Council and asked that the overall purpose of the park be refined and clarified to allow an expanded list of potential business activities. In particular, the current IPM-2 zoning district specifically prohibits warehousing and distribution kinds of businesses, the very thing that Kent County and the City are trying to promote. The amendment to the Ordinance is offered to reflect the expansion of the original purpose and nature of the park, reflecting current business conditions and the changing marketplace and to hopefully make the facility much more marketable. The City Council Committee of the Whole Legislative Finance and Administration Committee was presented with a proposed Text Amendment on June 11, 2019 and they recommended approval of the proposed Text Amendments at their first reading on June 24, 2019. Because this is a Text Amendment, a public hearing and recommendation of the Planning Commission is required which is what we are doing tonight. City Council will conduct a public hearing and take final action on the Ordinance on September 9, 2019. They may act to adopt the Ordinance or part of it or to amend it as appropriate. This Ordinance was developed by the Planning Staff so therefore they recommend it adoption. The Planning Office provided an opportunity to the Development Advisory Committee to comment on the proposed Text Amendment at their meeting of July 31, 2019 and no negative comments or recommendations were received from the DAC members. Ms. Edwards questioned if the reason for the Text Amendment is so that this particular park can house different types of businesses? Responding to Ms. Edwards, Mr. Hugg stated yes; it changes the prohibition on those couple of uses to a permitted use. Mr. Tolbert opened a public hearing and after seeing no one wishing to speak, closed the public hearing. Mrs. Welsh moved to recommend approval to City Council for MI-19-04 Text Amendment: Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone – Technology Center IPM-2, seconded by Ms. Maucher and the motion was carried 7-0 by roll call vote with Mr. Adams and Dr. Jones absent. Mrs. Welsh voting yes; because it is a necessary change in order to comply with the intent of the park as it is now. Ms. Maucher voting yes; this expands opportunity for different businesses. Mr. Roach voting yes; for reasons previously stated. Ms. Edwards voting yes; based on reasons previously stated. Mr. Hartman voting yes; based on Mr. Hugg’s comments and he believes that it is a good step for Dover. Mr. Baldwin voting yes; for the reasons previously stated. Mr. Tolbert voting yes; this amendment is clearly needed at this point in time. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting of August 19, 2019 Page 2 of 2

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on August 13, 2019 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson (departed at 7:22 p.m. and returned at 7:24 p.m.), Mr. Sudler (arrived at 6:07 p.m.), Mr. Neil, Mr. Polce (departed at 7:15 p.m. and returned at 7:17 p.m.), Mr. Taylor (arrived at 6:01 p.m.), and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Slavin and Mr. Cole were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Col. Dix, Retired, (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), and Mrs. Doyle (Utility). Mrs. Haass (Utility) was absent. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Review of Active Recreation Area Plan (and Request for Partial Cash-in-lieu) for White Oak Property: Apartments and Townhouses (Planning Reference: S-19-15) Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed the active recreation area plan for proposed apartments and townhouses on three (3) parcels of land located on White Oak Road. Staff recommended approval of the active recreation area plan with the comments and conditions provided, and acceptance of the $3,490.87 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Responding to Col. Dix, Mrs. Melson-Williams estimated that Dover Park was located within a half-mile of the subject property. Mr. Neil stated that he was going to suggest a sidewalk, however, he indicated that he thought a half-mile of sidewalk was too much to ask for. He suggested that the City ensure that the park is indicated so residents know it is available for them. In response to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that there are some existing sidewalk networks in the area and, with this project, the property owner will be required to construct a sidewalk along their property frontage as well. Responding to Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the Code requires active recreation areas to be properly managed and maintained and that a caretaker be identified. She stated that since this is a proposed apartment complex, there will probably be an overall property manager that takes care of the other grass areas as well as the active recreation area. Mayor Christiansen asked if it would be possible for the City to escrow the $3,490.87 toward possible playground equipment, explaining that townhouses and apartments connotate young families who may have little children and the developments of Bicentennial Village and Village of Westover had recently requested the installation of playground equipment. He stated that he hoped children would not be crossing White Oak Road to go to Dover Park and suggested setting the funds aside for consideration of the installation of a tot lot like those in Bicentennial Village, Village of Westover, and other neighborhoods. In response, Mr. Anderson noted that it is private property and the owner is requesting consideration for partial cash-in-lieu of recreation area donation and asked whether the committee could deny the request or how they would proceed with Mayor Christiansen’s suggestion. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams advised

Page 50

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 2 that the Code specifically states that the cash-in-lieu of recreation area donation shall be deposited in a separate account to be used for parks, playgrounds or recreational purposes. She stated her belief that the land where equipment was installed in Bicentennial Village and Village of Westover was ultimately City- owned park land. Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that she did not think there was any example where the City had constructed equipment on private property. She advised that if the committee has strong feelings about the need for an age appropriate amenity, they could make a recommendation as part of their review of the active recreation area plan. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the open field was put forward by the applicant as the best option for any age group of potential residents. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the proposed development is 32 units consisting of 24 apartments and eight (8) townhouse units. Col. Dix asked how wide the property between the proposed active recreation area and the development was. He stated that he thought that area would be large enough for a toddler park and suggested that it might be declared a City park. In response, Mrs. Melson-Williams advised that part of the difficulty with this site is that it is significantly impacted by the flood plain and wetland areas. She stated that the gap between the end of the cul-de-sac on the east and the proposed active recreation area is impacted by wetlands, and development is prohibited in those areas. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Anderson confirmed that the cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation would go into the Parkland Reserve. Mr. Lindell noted that this scenario is different from the Village of Westover, where the Homeowners’ Association (HOA) had land and set aside funding for the park. He suggested that once the proposed neighborhood is completed and the community is established, they may eventually decide they want a playground and Council could consider using the funds from the Parkland Reserve at that time. Responding, Mr. Anderson noted that they could not bind a future Council, it would be up to them. Col. Dix noted that the playground at Bicentennial Village is in a flood plain, not a park, and asked why the City could not do the same thing in this instance. In response, Mr. Anderson explained that the subject property is privately owned and they did not request a playground. Mr. Hare stated that staff had provided a recommendation for acceptance of a cash-in-lieu of recreation area donation for consideration, and he thought members were a little off target, explaining that if they wanted to pursue alternatives, they should reschedule the matter. He reminded members that this was a request from the property owner and they might rent all 32 units to senior citizens. Mr. Hare concurred with Mr. Lindell regarding accepting the cash-in-lieu of recreation area donation and keeping the money in the Parkland Reserve. Mr. Sudler stated that he concurred with Mr. Hare and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the active recreation area plan with the comments and conditions provided, and acceptance of the $3,490.87 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 3 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Semi-Annual Update (March 2019 - August 2019) Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner/Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Administrator, reviewed the CDBG Semi-Annual Report, March 2019 - August 2019. Dover Park Master Plan Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed staff’s recommendations for Dover Park. Staff recommended that the City proceed with the “Final Concept” with a Splash Pad and small (1,440 square foot) building and, if funds and space can be found, a Can-Do Playground. Mr. Sudler thanked staff for the excellent job they had done in correcting the defective conditions in Dover Park and bringing it up to a higher standard than it had been maintained in the past. He requested, on behalf of the Fourth District, consideration of the following three items for Dover Park: 1) the possibility of the 3,600 square foot new recreational facility, which is his highest priority, 2) a skateboard park, and 3) a dog park. Mr. Sudler noted that he was planning to attend a skateboard event in Salisbury on Sunday, August 18, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. that was advertised on WBOC to see how their skate park is constructed and the things that they are doing. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline advised that staff was working to develop a routine maintenance program for each of the parks. Mr. Taylor noted that, based on his experience, the most successful parks are clean, very well maintained, and event oriented. He asked if the City or any other organizations had any activities scheduled for Dover Park. In response, Mr. Harline explained that Mr. Kirby Hudson, Director of Parks and Recreation, would be better able to answer programming questions and was unable to attend the meeting. He noted that staff was planning to increase programming at Dover Park, and those plans would depend on the amenities selected by Council. In response to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline stated that ten (10) park benches were part of the Master Plan. Mr. Taylor stated that he fully supported the three (3) items Mr. Sudler requested for consideration for Dover Park. Mr. Neil congratulated staff on the work that had already been accomplished with the tennis courts, basketball court, etc. He asked when the City planned to make the public aware of the amenities currently available and begin to program events. Mr. Neil stated that he thought it was members’ responsibility to make the public aware of events. Responding, Mr. Harline advised that Mr. Hudson had proposed scheduling a ribbon cutting for a grand reopening of Dover Park. Col. Dix stated that he spent over an hour at the Dover Park on August 11, 2019, around 3:30 p.m. and counted approximately 105 people in the park. He noted that 70 people were at the basketball courts and the other people were out walking in the park. Col. Dix expressed concern with the potential for foot injury if a splash pad is placed near a playground or porta-potties. In response to Col. Dix, Mr. Harline stated that there would be some type of bathroom facility, noting that there are water and sewer available on the property. He advised that the National Parks and Recreation Association has volumes of suggestions regarding how to install different amenities near each other. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Harline stated that a Can-Do Playground is for children with physical disabilities. Mayor Christiansen commended members for fulfilling the promise to replace the building at Dover Park. He noted that he appreciated the input from the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA) and other

Page 52

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 4 organizations that had joined with the City to ensure the City has a well-designed building, and will be able to project the cost of that building, how it will be funded, and the extra tax dollars that will be needed for maintenance. Mayor Christiansen noted that he had suggested that the City should have a skate park in 1987. He indicated that he agreed that the City should also have a dog park. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reminded members that the Master Plan was done with a lot of public input and, although it does not include a 3,600 square foot building, it does include a 1,440 square foot building. She stated that she believed that Dover Park needs a building, explaining that the Master Plan Study revealed that the City needs to reactivate the park and have activities in it for the public to feel safe and like its part of the community. Mrs. Mitchell advised that her concern is that the amenities provided in the Master Plan have specific square footage requirements and if you add a skate park, a dog park, and a 3,600 square foot building, the Master Plan will need to be re-engineered to exclude other amenities because there is not enough space in the park for everything. She explained that staff had discussed a skate park and a dog park and, due to the space limitations at Dover Park, they recommended placing those amenities at Schutte Park. Mrs. Mitchell stated that she would like to have a conversation to find out if members would prefer those amenities to be in Dover Park or Schutte Park. She noted that the Committee could defer a decision on this matter to allow staff to come back with another recommendation after getting members’ input. Mr. Sudler agreed that there are space limitations at Dover Park. He stated that he thought that Council members and the constituents needed to go out to Dover Park to participate in a grassroots initiative to revitalize it. Mr. Sudler expressed his opinion that having new amenities at Dover Park would help attract more people and that the City needed to spread out new amenities among all the parks. Reverend Rita Mishoe Paige, 355 Rita Wilma Road, stated that members of the IMA had a fruitful meeting with City staff and everyone agreed that the Master Plan that had been designed was a good plan, incorporating part of what the IMA had proposed as well. She advised that, after their meeting, she had given it more thought and discussed it with the IMA President and they proposed that they have two (2) locations on the east side of Dover, an outside park facility, as well as an indoor park facility. Reverend Paige reminded members that Col. Dix had previously suggested that the IMA begin a conversation with the Capital School District and she was waiting to hear back from the Superintendent. She explained that she thought the City could move forward with the outdoor facility now and install the splash pads, noting that they would be placed where the IMA was proposing the building to be constructed because of the plumbing facilities. Reverend Paige stated that she thought it would be good to have the outdoor park be a sports park and then consider Towne Point Elementary School for what the IMA is proposing for programming based on the surveys they received. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Reverend Paige confirmed that she would not have any objection to the 1,440 square foot building with restrooms at Dover Park, and would like to focus on the larger facility at Towne Point. Mr. Lindell stated that he was not opposed to any of the three options; however, he expressed concern with the limited amount of available space. He noted that they would have to give up some amenities in the Master Plan in order to add amenities. Mr. Lindell indicated that he thought that park security and maintenance also needed to be addressed. In response, Mrs. Mitchell advised that while there was no formal maintenance plan, staff was frequently at Dover Park because they had been doing a lot of work there. She

Page 53

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 5 stated that Mr. Hudson was working on a maintenance plan for all City parks now that there are two (2) crews between the Grounds Division and Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Lindell stated that he was in favor of including a Can-Do Park, noting that he and his family frequented the one in Milford. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Mitchell stated that Williams Park was not part of the Dover Park Master Plan. Mr. Taylor noted that Capital School District had a Can-Do Park at Kent County Community School (KCCS) which he thought would be a great model. He asked if anyone had been there to see it. In response, Mrs. Mitchell explained that members had received a presentation regarding a Can-Do Park from the rotary prior to Mr. Taylor being elected to Council. She stated that the rotary had helped fund Can-Do Parks in Bear as well as Milford, and Mr. Hudson would be able to provide him with additional information. Mr. Hare stated that he had talked to different people and they were in favor of a skate park and a Can-Do Park. He noted that, with the limited space available at Dover Park, he thought Schutte Park would be the ideal location for these amenities. Mr. Hare stated that this would allow for the splash pad to be placed at Dover Park. Mr. Anderson noted that a Can-Do Park could be used all year, while a splash pad is only valuable four (4) months of the year. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the Master Plan for Schutte Park did include a skate park. Mayor Christiansen stated that he agreed with Mr. Hare that having the Can-Do Park and the skate park at Schutte Park would free up additional land at Dover Park. Mr. Sudler expressed his concern that if the IMA is not successful in obtaining the Towne Point Elementary facility, it could affect the future of the facility needed on the east side of Dover. He suggested that the IMA continue their due diligence and meet with the Capital School District Superintendent, however, he cautioned that the City had been very progressive in the initiative at Dover Park over the last couple of years and he did not want the idea of an adequate facility to get lost. Mr. Neil stated that Can-Do Parks are designed for all children and so that children with disabilities can participate. He noted that he thought a dog park is neighborhood based and people may not travel long distances to take their dog to a dog park. Mr. Neil suggested moving forward and approving the concept as designed with the idea that they are going to take a look at where the amenities would best fit, including where a skate park could be placed without having to move any of the other amenities planned for Dover Park. He indicated that they needed to look at the difference between the neighborhoods as well as who will travel where and to use which amenities. Mr. Neil moved to recommended that the City proceed with the “Final Concept” with a Splash Pad and small (1,440 square foot) building and, if funds and space can be found, a Can-Do Playground, as recommended by staff, and to have staff come back with recommendations on the other amenities. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell. Col. Dix suggested that the park on Dover Street would be a great location for a dog park. He noted that trees could be cut down if the City needs space at Dover Park.

Page 54

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 6 Mr. Hare noted that the park on Dover Street was utilized, noting that the softball field there was used regularly from April through October, and the park and basketball court are used every day. He stated that he thought that putting a dog park there would really upset people who use the land for soccer six (6) months of the year. Mr. Sudler asked for clarification on the motion. He stated that his understanding was that they would be voting whether to accept staff’s recommendation with the instructions for staff to take members’ considerations in mind and then schedule something for members and the constituents to go to the park and try to sort out the best plan of action. Mr. Sudler stated that he wanted to have absolute clarity because this is so important for the center. Responding, Mr. Anderson stated that the idea is to accept the staff recommendation with the alternative that Mrs. Mitchell recommended to add the 1,440 square foot building and a splash pad, and to also consider other recommendations by staff in the future. Mr. Neil stated that he thought members wanted to move forward on the entire process. He indicated that the discussion was about where the amenities, such as a dog park, skate park, and Can-Do Park should be located and staff should come back with recommendations regarding those specific areas. Mr. Sudler stated that by moving forward with that recommendation, they would be committing to utilize the only space they can construct a building on for a splash pad. He reminded members that they only have 3,600 square feet to construct a building and cannot construct a building anywhere else on this property because it is restricted. Mr. Sudler explained that this would guarantee the construction of the splash pad and that the recreational facility is only going to be 1,440 square feet. He stated that he did not like that, so he would be voting against it. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought that they needed to figure out whether they wanted a splash pad or an adequate facility before they move forward with construction, explaining that there is no guarantee that Towne Point Elementary School is going to be obtained and available for usage unless the City is in negotiation to buy it. He indicated that in considering the finances for this project, they need to consider the long term, noting that it would be a waste of money to have to tear out the splash pad later if they figure out it does not work. Mr. Hare stated that he agreed with Mr. Sudler that they needed to know what’s happening with Towne Point Elementary before they can make any definite decisions. He noted that he thought they could move forward with some things, like the skate park at Schutte Park, but that they should wait in regard to the building. Mr. Neil moved to call the question. The motion failed for lack of a second. Col. Dix noted that he had visited all three (3) county dog parks and they are not that large. Mr. Lindell stated that he understood Mr. Sudler’s hesitation, however, he thought that this Council, unlike previous Councils, would ensure some type of structure is built to help the youth on the east side of the City. He stated that he thought that they needed to make sure they have all of the pieces in the best places and that this was the first step in doing that. Mr. Anderson asked if the makers of the motion would be open to a friendly amendment to resolve this issue by saying a structure and figuring out the scope of it later.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 7 Mr. Neil noted that a 1,440 square foot building, including classrooms, was recommended. He stated that Reverend Paige said that if that was possible, then it would work because there are already classrooms available at Towne Point. Mr. Neil explained that he is not as concerned about the future for that since there are places in that area where programs for kids and other things can be expanding, whether it is at Towne Point or somewhere else. He stated that he thought they should move forward with this. Mr. Neil noted that the last discussion regarding the larger building was that it was going to be financed by someone other than the City. Mr. Sudler indicated that he was concerned whether the IMA would be able to obtain a building. He stated that he would be in favor of recommending a building without including the square footage, noting that they need to know where all of the amenities will be placed. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought a splash pad may be better at Schutte Park. Mr. Sudler moved to amend the motion to recommended that the City proceed with the “Final Concept” with a Splash Pad and small (1,440 square foot) building and, if funds and space can be found, a Can-Do Playground, as recommended by staff, and to have staff come back with recommendations on the other amenities by striking the square footage of the structure. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and carried by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes (Anderson, Sudler, Polce, Taylor, Lindell, Hare, Caldwell, and Dix), one (1) no (Neil), and two (2) absent (Slavin and Cole). The motion, as restated by Mr. Anderson, to recommend acceptance of Mrs. Mitchell’s alternative staff recommendation as amended not to include a square footage designation, and that staff is to research the other options which were brought by the Committee was unanimously carried. Presentation - Skate Park Advocates (Deferred from July 9, 2019) Mr. James West III, 401 East Market Street, Lewes, informed members that he was the current President of Skate Epworth located in Rehoboth Beach. He advised that Skate Epworth is a nonprofit organization under the Epworth United Methodist Church that started in 2008. Mr. West explained that through different events, from 2008 until 2014, they raised money for the construction of a concrete skate park built by 5th Pocket Skateparks on land donated by Epworth United Methodist Church. He noted that the skate park was accomplished without state funding, and he had witnessed diversity and the community coming together. Mr. Anderson noted that 14 individuals raised their hands when he asked who came with the skate park. Mr. West stated that a skate park would benefit everyone, noting that he had seen children as young as two (2) to men as old as 70, and they provide skateboarding lessons and community events, such as skate days. Mr. West advised that Skate Epworth has its own board but that Epworth United Methodist Church has oversight. He noted that this was the fifth anniversary of the skate park and they would be holding the Fourth Annual Rehoboth Am Skate Jam skate contest on Saturday, August 17, 2019. Mr. West stated that he thought Schutte Park would be the best option for the location of a skate park in Dover because there is potential for expansion there. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. West to provide his contact information to staff so they can have a more in depth conversation to ensure the skate park is properly utilized. Mr. Sudler thanked Mr. West and those present in support of the skate park for their diligence and persistence in presenting their ideas to Council.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF AUGUST 13, 2019 PAGE 8 Mayor Christiansen suggested that Mr. West and the other skate park advocates’ input on the master plan that includes the skate park would be appreciated. In response to Col. Dix, Mr. West stated that the bowl is a term used for swimming pools. He explained that when they were considering what to construct at Epworth, they knew that most people like to skate vert, so they discussed building a half pipe, which is a U-shaped ramp, or a bowl, which anyone can skate. Mr. West advised that they constructed a bowl, which anyone can skate, and created a street course around it for those that like to skate street obstacles. He stated that the depth of their bowl ranges from approximately three-and-a-half feet to eight (8) feet. Col. Dix noted that this may create a problem with the water table at Schutte Park. Mr. Anderson advised that those are details that should be worked out by staff. Mr. Eugene Stone, 108 Old Mill Road, Dover, thanked members for their consideration of a skate park. He informed members that he was part of the skate park committee a few years ago, however, they were unsuccessful. Mr. Stone stated that he used to own a bicycle/skateboard shop off of Governors Avenue, so he knew there was a need for a skate park. He noted that he had been skateboarding since the late 1980s and lived on an Air Force Base in Japan that had one of the first skateboard parks in the Far East, so he knew it was a good thing for a community and bringing generations of people together. Mr. Sudler 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 7:22 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Council President Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Cole. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Annual Review and Approval of Governing Policy For Energy Commodity Risk Management Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the proposed amendments to the Governing Policy For Energy Commodity Risk Management. She noted that the amendments include the addition of alternate members to the Executive Risk Management Committee, and that the policy will be reviewed annually by the Executive Risk Management Committee but only come before the Utility Committee if there are any recommended changes. Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendments. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Governing Policy For Energy Commodity Risk Management (Attachment #1), as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

PURPOSE OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY A. Introduction The City of Dover (“City”) and its customers are routinely exposed to energy price risk, volume variability risk, basis risk and credit risk – herein referred to collectively as energy commodity risk - in the normal conduct of serving its electric load requirements. Volatility of energy commodity prices and volumetric uncertainty (either supply/generation or load obligations) impose a substantial and direct risk to the City’s financial and operating performance. By authority of its charter, the City has responsibility for overseeing the City’s electricity operations, including the management of its cost of serving Dover’s customers. By agreement dated May 6, 2011 July 2, 2019 and approved by the City (the “Energy Management Agreement EMA”), the City has engaged The Energy Authority, Inc. (“TEA”) to assist the City with Asset Management and Strategic Planning Services, Risk Management Services, and Energy Management Services. This Policy for Energy Commodity Risk Management (“Policy”) is established the explicit understanding that the City has retained and delegated responsibilities to TEA to provide Risk Management Services. Additionally, the City has issued this Policy for dealing with the philosophy, framework and delegation of responsibilities necessary to govern activities related to Dover’s energy commodity risk management. As set forth herein, the City has established an organizational structure, delegated responsibility and established internal controls and procedures to ensure that all transactional and oversight activities are conducted in compliance with this Policy and in accordance with the City’s normal reporting, legal, financing and regulatory requirements relating to energy assets and transactions. B. Scope of Policy This Policy covers all transactions entered into the by the City of Dover designed to meet the City’s electric load requirement and the management of risk related to these transactions. In the event of conflict between this Policy and the EMA, the Policy shall control. This Policy is separate and distinct from enterprise risk management policies and procedures addressing the City’s safe operation of its generating stations and energy infrastructure, insurance requirements, permit compliance, employee matters regulatory compliance with laws and regulations of the State of Delaware and Federal 4

Page 62

Agencies such as EPA, FERC, NERC and CFTC or other potential risks to the City beyond the purchase and sale of fuel and electric power and its ancillary products. C. Objectives and Risk Philosophy The objectives of the Policy are to identify energy commodity price and credit risk exposures and give the City a framework for the quantification and management of these exposures. The Policy will identify the reports needed to convey how the identified risk exposures can potentially impact the City’s overall cost of providing electricity service to its customers and report on the risk management of the transactions associated with City’s electric load requirements. Under the Policy, risk management activities will be conducted consistent with the City’s overall objective of appropriate risk mitigation. There are several objectives of the Policy which, when taken and executed together, serve to manage the City’s energy commodity price exposures. Specifically, the Policy:  Establishes framework for developing credit limits for counterparties and quantifies and manages the credit exposures related to potential counterparty abrogation  Quantifies the impact of the above exposures on City’s financial results  Manages the impact of the above exposures in line with the City’s identified level of risk tolerance  Provides clear delineation of responsibilities and authority, outline a separation of duties, and ensure reporting of risk is timely and accurate.  Ensures that the impact of any action affecting the City’s position is consistently quantified, monitored and authorized. The City’s risk management activities will be conducted consistent with its overall objective of appropriate risk mitigation and never for purposes of speculation. D. Policy Administration This Policy has been approved by the Executive Risk Management Committee and The Utility Committee of the Dover City Council. The Utility Committee must approve modifications to the Policy with the exception of the appendix information which can be modified with the approval of the Executive Risk Management Committee. 5

Page 63

MANAGEMENT AND CONTROLS This Policy articulates the management and organization of the City and TEA to serve as a control framework outlining delegation of duties and responsibilities. A. Utility Committee of The City Council The Utility Committee of The City Council (The Committee) has a responsibility to provide approval of this Policy. With this approval, The Committee also assumes additional duties. They will understand the risks the City is and could be exposed to due to their energy commodity risk management activities. In this role, the Committee will have a responsibility to also understand the City’s policies and procedures, internal controls and systems which are used to help manage the City’s energy commodity risks. The Committee will approve any amendments to the Policy or limits within. The Executive Risk Management Committee will update the Committee periodically regarding the Policy and its functions. It will be the Committee’s responsibility to:  Discuss guidelines and strategic policies that govern the process by which the Energy Risk Management Committee assesses and manages risks  Review and approve any recommended changes to the the risk policy at least annually  Approve new members and alternates of the Executive Risk Management Committee  Acknowledge the risk inherent in transactions covered under this Policy B. Executive Risk Management Committee An Executive Risk Management Committee (“ERMC”) has been formed to provide executive management oversight for the City’s energy commodity risk management activities. The ERMC is charged with the creation, amendment and administration of this Policy, including acquiring any approvals required by the Utility Committee, and will ensure that all energy commodity risk management activities of the City are performed consistent with this Policy.

DISCUSSION OF RISKS This Policy covers the management of all material energy market risks faced by the City. A comprehensive list of risks that are or could be relevant to City is shown in Appendix C of the 9

Page 67

Policy. Among the most critical of these risks are commodity risk, counterparty risk, process risk, volume risk, and budget risk. These risks are measured by the limit structure and controls outlined in the Policy. Commodity risk represents the potential adverse impacts to the value of the City’s portfolio due to changes in the market. Commodity risk encompasses volatility risk, forward price risk, basis risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Counterparty risk represents the potential losses the City could incur due to delivery risk and receivable risk. Delivery risk stems from a supplier or trading counterparty that is unable or unwilling to perform on its commitments including but not limited to delivery or receipt of commodities. Receivable Risk includes the City’s risk associated with a counterparty’s timeliness of payment for services rendered. Process risk represents the risks associated with process problems including, but not limited to, inaccurate data capture, untimely trade execution or settlement problems. Controls over process risks are embedded in the organizational structure of TEA through the design processes and operating procedures. Volume Risk represents the potential for unforeseen changes from projections of excess or shortfall of capacity or energy from the actual needs. When variances are large coupled with large costs to transact and adverse moves in market prices this risk could be realized. In management of this risk, the City must be aware of the fact that unexpected variations in volume are often highly correlated with price movements. Budget Risk represents the potential to deviate outside of tolerable bounds of the City’s budget. Deviations from budget can be caused by forecast error or unforeseeable adverse changes in market prices. Regulatory Risk arises from participation in regulated markets. With the Independent System Operator (ISO) implementation of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 741, the City faces increasing regulatory risk when participating in wholesale energy markets. The TEA Compliance department works in conjunction with the TEA Risk Control department to help the City manage regulatory risk. Regulatory risk is managed by:  Annual Compliance Training for all employees participating in regulated markets;  Integration of the appropriate compliance culture within the Trading department through ongoing interaction between Compliance and Trading;  An independent monitoring and exposure measurement on transactions that could trigger an increase in regulatory risk. 10

MARKETING AND TRADING PRACTICES A. Standards of Conduct Individuals authorized to transact for the City shall not misrepresent, conceal or withhold information regarding energy commodity trading and risk management transactions to any person responsible for the accurate recording and/or reporting of such transactions; participate in any such transaction or similar activity for the benefit of any party other than the City; or hold or be a beneficiary of any financial interest in any entity with which the employee is engaged in trading or other business activity (other than ownership of an interest in a mutual fund managed by another party). Further, no employee authorized to place or execute such transactions may engage in trading power or energy commodities derivative instruments for his or her personal account. B. Products, Activities and Limitations Pursuant to achieving the City’s core objectives for the purpose of energy commodity risk management, the following limitations shall apply.  Permissible instruments will be restricted to the products and instruments specified in Appendix A – Approved Products of the Policy; o All physical forward transactions shall be governed by the Edison Electrical Institutive (EEI), North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB), or similar agreements with counterparties approved by the City. o The City reserves the right to enter into financial hedge transactions to effectuate Policy objectives, but does not authorize TEA to enter into financial hedge transactions on its behalf. Any such financial transactions that the City may enter into shall be governed by ISDA agreements with counterparties as approved by the City.  The maturity for each permissible instrument will be restricted to the maturity limits specified in the risk limits section of the Policy.  Transaction volumes for each risk management transaction will be restricted to the amounts specified in the Risk Limits section of the Policy.  Risk management transactions will be outlined in the City of Dover Hedge Program which will be approved by the ERMC. Risk management transactions may include the following: o Hedging the forward price of purchased power for delivery to the City as needed to meet its electric load requirements. o Hedging the forward price of natural gas and fuels as needed to generate power to meet the City’s electric load requirements. 11

Page 69

o Unwinding of hedges to accommodate changes in expected load requirements, or for economic reasons subject to explicit constraints set by the ERMC. C. Contract Documentation and Confirmations No over-the-counter transaction may be executed until an EEI, NAESB, or similar agreement has been authorized by the City, approved by the ERMC and fully executed by the parties. Written confirmations will be required from counterparties, as defined in the Master Service Agreement between the City and counterparty, within one business day or such longer time as required by the contract in question for all risk management transactions. Contemporaneous with any commitments and prior to receipt of written confirmations, verbal commitments shall be memorialized internally as to instrument structure, quantity, relevant time horizon, price and any other relevant terms; such internal documentation shall be time stamped and correlated to the ultimate written confirmation to or from the counterparty. Both the internal documentation as well as the written confirmation from the counterparty shall be provided to TEA’s Risk Control Group immediately upon receipt for verification. In the event that there is a material failure to provide timely documentation or confirmations, then at the City Manager’s sole discretion, the offending individual’s authorization may be suspended. Similarly, if the failure to provide timely documentation or confirmations is due to the failure of counterparty, then at the discretion of the City Manager, a moratorium may be imposed on transactions with that counterparty. In such cases, the City Manager shall notify the ERMC of the issues leading to the suspension or moratorium shall. Nothing herein shall inhibit the City Manager from bringing control issues to the TEA’s Client Services Manager prior to a decision on materiality or the imposition of a suspension of trading privileges or counterparty moratorium. D. Training The ERMC will ensure that all City employees and/or TEA Staff that will execute transactions on behalf of the City will have appropriate training in the markets in which the transactions occur. E. New Product Protocol 12

Page 70

As required to manage the City’s energy commodity risk the ERMC shall approve new products provided the requirements of the New Product Approval Procedure are met. RISK LIMITS AND RISK MEASUREMENTS A. Limits The limit structure is designed to quantify the types of risk in the City’s energy commodity portfolio. The City will manage and report on its energy commodity market risk using Delegation of Authority Limit, a Volume Limit and a Locational Limit. 1. Delegation Authority The Utility Committee delegates authority to the Dover ERMC to approve the acquisition of electric energy, capacity and/or transmission according to the following approval authority limits to the Dover ERMC for expenditures or terms. The ERMC may not delegate these authorities to individuals authorized to commit Dover to financial obligations. Position Maturity Limit Term Limit Notional Value Limit Dover ERMC 5 years 5 years 20,000,000 TEA 1 month 1 month 1,000,000 This limit structure is not intended for use when transacting day-ahead and real time in the PJM market. 2. Volume Limits For no reason should a transaction be executed that exceeds the City’s electric load requirements. If there is an adjustment to the City’s electric load requirements and the existing transactions greater than 100% of the adjusted electric load requirements the ERMC will review and approve the offsetting strategy deployed in sufficient proportion to mitigate the encroachment. 3. Locational Limits Non-Commodity Transactions must support the requirement of one of the City’s generation units, native load or transaction locations. B. Stress Testing and Back Testing 13

Page 71

The City’s positions shall be periodically stress tested and models shall be back tested. The processes around these tests are outlined in the Stress Testing and Back Testing Procedure. C. Instances of Exceeding Risk Limits Should the City or TEA enter into a transaction that causes the portfolio to exceed any above mentioned limits the Director of the Utility shall, in addition to notifying the ERMC, also notify the Chair of The Committee as soon as practicable and shall provide periodic reports to the Chair on the status the transactions for as long as the City is exceeding its limits. The ERMC will review and determine whether any liquidation or offsetting of transactions is warranted. The incident will be documented as a Policy Exception by the Director of the Utility. CREDIT POLICY Credit Risk is the risk due to the uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The primary objective of this credit policy is to mitigate, to the extent commercially reasonable, the credit risks associated with transactions covered in this Policy while still allowing the City to achieve its objectives. A. Measuring Credit Risk The status of credit risk will be measured and reported through reports provided by TEA. The current credit exposure will be reported at the agreement level via a Counterparty Credit Report provided by TEA. This information will be made available in real time to TEA trading personnel so that it can be checked prior to executing transactions for the City. Those responsible for risk oversight at the City and TEA will have access to this information no less frequently than once per day. The ERMC will monitor overall credit utilization and any credit exceptions at least monthly. When measuring the current credit risk, netting will be applied to the exposure if the City’s contract with a counterparty includes provisions for netting. B. Analysis and Extension of Credit Limits Physical and financial commodity transactions will be executed with counterparties approved by the ERMC with credit available to support the transactions. The creditworthiness of a counterparty will be determined by both qualitative and quantitative factors. Factors shall include, but not limited to:  A company’s debt credit ratings provided by the rating agencies. 14

Page 72

 Financial data such as an analysis of the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, as well as liquidity and capital structure.  Subjective factors such as company’s fuel diversity, overall size, risk management policy and internal controls, geographic diversity, and market intelligence. A credit limit is the amount of unsecured credit granted to a counterparty. Unsecured credit exposure includes amounts owed by the counterparty, whether billed or not, and the mark-to-market differences in value of any collateral which the counterparty has provided the City. Any net exposure above the collateral threshold will require the posting of collateral by a counterparty. Further information on the City’s procedure for establishing credit is contained in the Counterparty & Credit Review Process. Collateral thresholds, term limitations and credit exposure limits will be subject to the maximums indicated in Appendix B, based upon the lower of the S&P and Moody’s credit ratings. At no time will the City incur a credit exposure with any counterparty greater than $60,000,000. C. Instances of Exceeding Credit Limits The City and TEA are restricted by the credit limits approved by the ERMC. The ERMC can suspend trading with a counterparty, if that counterparty’s credit limit has been reached or exceeded. The City or TEA traders shall not exceed the Counterparty Credit Limit by executing transactions with any counterparty without approval of the ERMC. The ERMC will determine when it’s appropriate to require additional collateral if a counterparty’s credit exposure exceeds its credit limit. Collateral includes standing letter of credit, cash, and prepayments. All credit exceptions will be documented and reported to the ERMC and the Committee as Policy Exceptions. REPORTING A. Risk Reporting Preparation of timely reports is critical to monitoring risk. TEA will furnish the required reports on a regular frequency for the City in a format acceptable to the ERMC. In addition, the ERMC and its designees will be provided access to the City’s risk reports as updated daily via TEA’s secure Web Portal. 15

Page 73

Reports required on a monthly basis and for periodic meetings of the ERMC include the following:  Profit and Loss Report The Profit and Loss (P&L) Report shows the daily realization of transactions at either the transaction price or the market price as transaction roll from unrealized to realized. This report should show volumes, transaction prices and market prices of realized physical and financial power and fuel transactions.  Mark to Market Report The Mark to Market (“MTM”) Report conveys the potential transaction exposure, of all existing forward transactions executed, if the energy commodity portfolio was liquidated at the most recent market settlement prices. This report should show volumes, transaction prices and market prices of unrealized physical and financial power and fuel transactions.  Daily Activity Report The Activity Report presents a summary of the day’s trades executed in the bilateral energy market.  Cost of Service Report The City’s exposure to energy price risk shall be monitored and reported on a Cost-of- Service basis. All calculations are at the wholesale level. The Cost-of-Service recognizes all prior (expired) months within the Power Year on the basis of actual (incurred) costs, and recognizes all forward (pending) months within the Power Year on the basis of expected forward power and fuel prices and expected forward load-following risks. As defined below, the Cost-of-Service is an aggregation of Forward Energy Commodity Portfolio Cost, the Load Following Cost Expectation and the City’s Budget Target for Purchase Power Expense. o The Net Purchased Power Cost shows the net cost of all physical and financial transactions related to the City’s anticipated commodity requirements for power and fuel and is based on the price of all hedge transactions plus the forward market price of all unhedged transactions valued at current forward prices for energy commodities, customer-level cost per MWH of all physical and financial transactions related to Dover’s actual plus anticipated energy. o The expected fixed costs defined as load-serving entity (LSE) capacity costs, transmission costs and TEA management fees. o The Expected Load-Following Cost for a specified power year is defined as the expected cost (or revenue) associated with intra-month load variations due to weather or other events affecting demand. TEA has completed a historical analysis to measures the effective monthly average unit cost paid for Dover’s PJM Wholesale Load Responsibility (WLR) was calculated for each month since July 16

Page 74

2013. From this analysis, TEA recommends using the post-Garrison results as a proxy for future estimates of the WLR and as an estimate of the Load Following Cost to be used for estimating the City’s Forward Cost-of-Service Report. The ERMC will update the Expected Load Following estimate while lack of necessary market information persists no less than annually. o For the historical payment analysis, an effective monthly average unit cost paid for Dover’s PJM Wholesale Load Responsibility (WLR) was calculated for each month since July 2013. This effective unit cost was constructed using Dover’s monthly PJM load payment (Dover Budget line item: PJM – Energy, Congestion & Losses), adding back the West Hub hedging credits, and dividing by the WLR. The values pre-Garrison-online and post- Garrison-online were compared with both straight and WLR-weighted averages. This effective LMP therefore includes the effects of intra-month load variations, contributions of both the DALMP and RTLMP, and the additional PJM charge types reflected in the monthly Dover Budget line item: PJM – Energy, Congestion & Losses. Pre-Garrison (July 2013 – May 2015) weighted average monthly load costs were $3.02, while the average post-Garrison cost (Jun 2015 – Apr 2018) has been $2.60. o o The Budget Target for Purchase Power Expense represents the City’s view of expected purchase power expense. B. Credit Reporting  Counterparty Credit Report The Counterparty Credit Report conveys the exposure to all counterparties with which the City has credit exposure resulting from its energy commodity risk management activities.  CFTC Reporting The City understands that transacting over the counter (OTC) swaps carries an additional Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reporting function. Once required by the CFTC, the City will report on how the City generally meets its financial obligations associated with entering into non-cleared swaps in a manner acceptable to the CFTC. C. Hedge Effectiveness Reporting If the City’s transactions require a hedge effectiveness test, those testing results will be reported to the ERMC no later than one month after the end of the financial reporting period. The report will include a summary of testing methodology, assumptions of the testing and the outcome of results with a pass or fail by transaction. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS 17

Page 75

Since information systems play a vital role in The City’s trading abilities, the City shall ensure that the information systems and technology used to store all transaction information is maintained and secure. The City’s transactions will be stored in TEA’s enterprise trading and risk management system. TEA uses the TriplePoint Commodity XL (CXL) system, integrated with Commodity XL for Credit Risk (Credit Risk). TEA has assigned a Database Administrator (DBA) that is charged with the database security and maintenance for the transaction database, CXL. The following safeguards for data security and backup will be installed:  Transaction data stored in the system of record will be replicated daily to ensure data redundancy;  The CXL database will be backed up at least daily after the close of business. POLICY DISTRIBUTION AND COUNSEL A. Distribution Outside The City The City’s Policy is restricted to the use of the City and TEA organizations. It shall not be distributed outside these organizations without the consent the ERMC. B. Designated Counsel Questions about the interpretation of any matters of this Policy should be referred to ERMC. The ERMC will provide clarification and explanation on any updates to this Policy. All legal matters stemming from this Policy will be referred to the City’s Legal Counsel. 18

APPENDIX D – Glossary Back Office – That part of a trading organization which handles transaction accounting, confirmations, management reporting, and working capital management. Bilateral Transaction - Any physical or financial transaction between two counterparties, neither of whom is an Exchange or market entity (e.g. MISO). Capacity – The real power output rating of a generator or system, typically in megawatts, measured on an instantaneous basis. Commodity - A basic good used in commerce that is interchangeable with other commodities of the same type. Commodities are most often used as inputs in the production of other goods or services. The quality of a given commodity may differ slightly, but it is essentially uniform across producers. When they are traded on an exchange, commodities must also meet specified minimum standards, also known as a basis grade. Financial Bilateral Transaction – A Bilateral Transaction that is non-physical and is defined by a Source Point, Sink Point, and Delivery Point that may be any CP Nodes as specified by the Midwest ISO. Financial Forward – An agreement regarding a position in a specified commodity, a specified price, and a specified future settlement date, that does not result in physical delivery of the commodity. Rather one party in the agreement makes a payment to the other party on the basis of the commodity price at the future date. Front Office – That part of a trading organization which solicits customer business, services existing customers, executes trades and ensures the physical delivery of commodities. Hedging Transaction - A transaction designed to reduce the exposure of a specific outstanding position or portfolio; “fully hedged” equates to complete elimination of the targeted risk and “partially hedged” implies a risk reduction of less than 100%. Mark-to-Market Value – A measure of the current value of unrealized positions; includes both Open Positions and Closed Positions. Middle Office – That part of a trading organization that measures and reports on market risks, develops risk management policies and monitors compliance with those policies, manages contract administration and credit, and keeps management and the Board informed on risk management issues. 26

Policy – Dover’s Governing Policy for Energy Commodity Risk, as amended and approved by The Utility Committee. Portfolio – A collection of transactions. Realized Gains/(Losses) – The amount earned (or lost) from a transaction, considered to be realized once the time for performance has lapsed (e.g. delivery of power in the case of physical transactions or expiration of an option in the case of financial transactions). Term – The total duration of a contract, defined as the number of days between the beginning flow date and ending flow date, inclusive. Unrealized Gains/ (Losses) – The amount expected to earn (lose) on a specific transaction(s); however, the time for performance has not lapsed. The total value of Unrealized Gains/ (Losses) is the Mark-to-Market value. 27
