PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Due to the absence of a representative of the U. S. Census Bureau, Mr. Anderson requested that the agenda be amended to consider “Update - Kent Economic Summit” first. Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Update - Kent Economic Summit Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Enhancement, advised that the annual Kent Economic Summit was held on September 17, 2019 at Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC). He noted that he was on a panel facilitated by Richard Rexrode of DTCC, and including Eric Norenberg (Milford City Manager), Linda Parkowski (KEP), Mike Petit De Mange (Kent County) and Jeremy Rothwell (Smyrna Town Planner). Mr. Hugg advised that they were tasked with answering questions regarding what they were doing to attract businesses, what kinds of businesses are coming, what skill sets are needed, and what they could do to improve their success. Mr. Hugg stated that he provided the following: • Our growth is in health care, retail trade, food, and professional services other. • Our economy is pretty balanced and diverse, but we need to improve our position in manufacturing. • Our strengths: spirit of cooperation, lower cost of living and doing business, friendly and responsive government, and great education and health care facilities (along with retail, health care is our strongest economic sector). • We need to have a rigorous promotion strategy, to engage the commercial real estate community; to work with site selectors, property owners, developers and the design community to find solutions for development; and to invest in infrastructure and business development efforts.

Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 2019 PAGE 4 • We need to grow more varied skill sets in the workplace, especially in the trades - a recurring theme we heard again at a recent State Chamber seminar. He advised that the four key priorities for Dover for 2020 are: • PROMOTE - tell our story! Market what we have to offer. Tout our success. Build a relationship with the media and exploit it. • ENGAGE - proactive and involved, stay part of the process. Build trust. Coordinate. Know the players (property managers and brokers for example). • INVEST - in economic development - have a strategy and work it. Build infrastructure. • LEARN - understand what we do not know, learn from what happens when a business closes, get good information, and track trends. Mr. Hugg noted the following projects that are under construction or in the permit phase** or are in the site plan review/approval process or a permit submission is expected***: US 13 North Corridor: • Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins on US 13 near WAWA (in county conditional annexation)** • Hobby Lobby- former Acme location** • Tasty Crab - restaurant on highway** • Crab Shack-former Shuckers restaurant on US13 • Capital Station (Red Robin - on again, Orange Theory, Tropical Smoothie, Delicious Fusion, Verizon, others)** • Lidl grocery** • UNO Plaza Additional Building*** • Tommy Car Wash (2 sites under review - US 13 and on Carver Road) * * * • Golden Corral (next to Pizza Hut/former Barry Van Lines Site/DuPont Plaza) *** Bay Road Corridor: • Office building - Bay Road Commercial (for State Police/Homeland Security) *** • DSWA Offices - Energy Lane next to Chesapeake Utilities*** • Dollar Tree - Bay Court (partial remodel of former Value City site)** Downtown and West: • Loockerman Way (building #1 downtown of two buildings planned)** • Governor's Café kitchen expansion** • NCALL office building- W.

Mr. Polce expressed the need for greater technology in the form of incorporating 4G technology that expands to 5G technology, which would allow not only the City to become more attractive, but it also entices some of the really great tech-based companies with heavy IP intellectual property and heavy human capital to be attracted to Dover. Mr. Polce suggested inviting Mr. Kurt Foreman of the Prosperity Partnership to update City Council on some of the unified targeted business development activity that is going on. Mr. Polce suggested that the City should be looking at being shovel-ready and turnkey within a six-month process of site location identification and permitting. He noted that he has suggested that an expedited permitting process or “rocket docket” be put in place for the City for several years. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg advised that the City was very much involved with Grotto’s centralizing their offices in Dover and that, because he maintains close working relationships with the local realtors, he was able to connect Grotto’s as a buyer with the seller’s broker for the property in Dover. Presentation by the U. S. Census Bureau Due to the absence of a representative of the U. S. Census Bureau, there was no presentation. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m.

Evaluation of Bids - Fiscal Year 2020 Inflow and Infiltration Removal Project Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Fiscal Year 2020 Inflow and Infiltration Removal Project.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 2019 PAGE 7 Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Parking Committee - Request for Proposals (RFP) for Parking Solutions Mr. Todd Stonesifer, Vice President of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) and Chairman of the Parking Committee, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Parking Solutions. The Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Parking Committee recommended approval for the DDP to move forward with a Request for Proposals for parking solutions for the downtown area to include City property. Mr. Anderson asked for clarification on what the City’s obligation would be if they granted permission to include city-owned property in the proposed parking solutions. Responding, Mr. Stonesifer stated that the DDP did not control the on-street parking, which is part of the demand of the downtown area. He stressed that it was not a request for another study or to spend dollars, it was a request to get solutions from companies hoping to obtain the ability to sell to us their ideas in the form of a continued revenue stream for them managing our parking, offering a solution, and then taking those ideas and seeing if it is something that they can handle or if it would be better handled by an authority. Mr. Slavin noted that this was a DDP activity and asked, if on-street parking is included in the solution, what the City’s obligation would be. Mr. Stonesifer stated that the DDP would manage the proposals, discuss them at a board level at the DDP, and then come back to the City with their suggestions. Ms. Tina Bradbury, Operations and Program Manager with the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), asked for recommendations on how to proceed with the request for proposals, such as if the City Solicitor should participate in drafting the request for proposals and collecting and reviewing the results. She noted that the DDP was prepared to accept all costs. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend approval of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Parking Committee’s recommendation to move forward with a Request for Proposals (RFP) for parking solutions for the downtown area to include City property, and designating the City Manager as the point person representing City Council in this matter. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 2019 PAGE 8 Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Polce and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:49 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. APPOINTMENT OF JUDGES - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY ELECTION - NOVEMBER 18, 2019 The Robbins Hose Company election is scheduled for November 18, 2019. The following persons were recommended to serve as judges for the election: 1. James Howlett 2. James Hurley Jr. 3. William Hurley IV By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the appointment of judges for the Robbins Hose Company election as recommended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. OVERVIEW OF CENTER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGEMENT, LLC (CPSM) OPERATIONS AND DATA ANALYSIS REPORT - DOVER POLICE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Donna S. Mitchell, City Manager, provided background information regarding the report, which was commissioned in 2015 to analyze the operations of the police, fire, and EMS services. She noted that it was important to bring the report forward even though it is somewhat dated because it highlights both the positives of the Dover police department and it gives some suggestions for improvements with a blueprint for the future. Mrs. Mitchell recommended discussing the report in more detail in a workshop setting. Mr. Polce moved to accept the Center for Public Safety Management, LLC (CPSM) Operations and Data Analysis Report - Dover Police Department. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Mr. Lindell suggested that any potential interviewee for the police chief position have access to this information.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING A Special Council Meeting was held on November 5, 2019 at 6:02 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Polce, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Slavin and Mr. Sudler were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Council staff members present were Deputy City Solicitor Pepper, Mr. Hugg, and Mrs. McDowell. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 304 SOUTH STATE STREET, OWNED BY JAMES P. HYLIND (EMERGENCY CASE) A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 304 South State Street, owned by James P. Hylind. Council President Hare read the following correspondence into the record from Councilman Slavin: "The matter before us this evening is one which I have a conflict of interest in, owing to my position in state government. As such, I will not participate in the discussions and as this is the only matter before us this evening, I will not be in attendance. Thank you.” Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mr. Jason Osika, Fire Marshal, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property (Exhibit #1). Mr. Hugg advise that they had been in regular contact with the owner and the owner's agent since the evening of the event and they have been very cooperative and have pledged to get this building repaired. He noted that staff was not asking for permission to go in and take action but for permission to be authorized to do so, if for some reason the corrective action is not taken. Mr. Osika provided a timeline of the conversations with and notifications to the property owner and those having equity in the property. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Osika advised that he had not seen the structural engineer’s report; however, a visual inspection the night of the incident indicated that there was no damage to nor stress on any of the surrounding buildings. Mr. Taylor asked if the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) grant for the repairs had been approved. Mr. Osika replied that the application had been accepted based on the circumstances to allow the work to start. Mr. Hugg stated that he did not believe that the DDP had approved the façade grant. He noted that the property owner had also applied for a State historic district tax credit and he thought that both applications would be approved fairly soon, if they had not yet been. Mr. Polce, referring to the work standstill the previous week, asked what had been communicated to Mr. Osika regarding the standstill. Mr. Osika advised that originally the insurance company

Page 15

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2019 PAGE 2 verbally told them in a phone call to do what needed to be done to make the building safe. Mr. Osika stated that when the insurance company found out how much the cost was going to be, it was elevated to another supervisor and work was stopped until they could send an adjustor to look at the damage. He noted that the earliest that the field adjustor could be here was November 12, 2019. Responding to Mr. Polce, Mr. Osika stated that the barrier and thoroughfare had been blocked by the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) at the owner's expense. Mr. Polce noted that it was a bit frustrating, not only for the owner but for the City. He advised that he had heard from the downtown business community and merchants who want to know when they can expect the thoroughfare to be opened. Mr. Polce stated that his typical response was that they did not want to put citizens' lives in jeopardy. He noted that it was a shame that a field adjustor was holding up the process 16 days into it. Mayor Christiansen advised that he had received an email from Mr. Tom Smith from the Delaware Made store about the effect that the street closure was having on his business. Mayor Christiansen asked about the possibility of blocking State Street off north of the northern section of The Green, rather than where it is currently blocked off. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that she had requested DelDOT to move the barricade to allow traffic around The Green and out Bank Lane. She stated that they explained that there has to be distance between the barricade and where the actual problem is and they would not move it. Mrs. Mitchell noted that DelDOT was not happy that it was taking so long. Mayor Christiansen recommended that he and Mrs. Mitchell contact the Secretary of Transportation to request a special dispensation with creating an alternate route along State Street. Mr. Hugg added that once the existing façade is removed the road and sidewalk can be reopened while the reconstruction activity is taking place. He stated that the only reason that they were securing the roadway was to prevent anybody being injured by falling materials or an unforeseen collapse of the rest of the old façade. Mr. Osika stated that the adjuster would be onsite a week from Friday, which is when the roadway should reopen. Mr. Neil suggested contacting the State Insurance Commissioner's Office and requesting them to contact the insurance company since this is hurting the City of Dover and the businesses in the City and possibly anybody who is walking past that building. Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Mr. David Hood, Professional Loss Consultant with Goodman-Gable-Gould Adjustors International, 3903 Naylors Lane, Baltimore, advised that they are called in for a fire, a building collapse, a hurricane or a tornado, etc. for damages to either a commercial property or a residential property to help the insured measure, document, and negotiate their insurance loss with their insurance companies. He advised that insurance companies are for-profit companies and they do not move very quickly because they have to do the best that they can to measure the loss on their behalf, not the insured's. Mr. Hood stated that when loss consultants get involved, it does not slow down the process because they are able to dive in to figure out what the problems are.

Page 16

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2019 PAGE 3 Mr. Hood explained that they contacted the insurance company to send a substitute adjuster immediately to the site because the other adjuster was out of the country until November 11, 2019, which they did. He noted that he and his building consultant met with the substitute adjuster onsite the previous day. Mr. Hood advised that the other adjuster is still coming on November 12, 2019; therefore, it was not necessary to contact the Insurance Commissioner. Mr. Hood stated that BRS Consulting, Inc., a historic preservation construction company, is putting up the scaffolding and taking down the building while preserving the outer bricks for the historic preservation of the building. He noted that anything in the interior that has deteriorated is being removed and disposed of. Mr. Hood advised that once the façade is removed and they are able to put a protective covering on the outside of the building to preserve it from weather, a temporary wall will be built. He stated that it would take time to reconstruct that part of the building and a while for the insurance company to agree to the estimates. Mr. Hood noted that they have to write an estimate of what needs to be done for the insured and then he will use those estimates to negotiate with the insurance company and make sure that the insured has enough funds to be able to rebuild the building the way that it should be rebuilt, safely and with the historic preservation of the building. He advised that his best guess estimate was that the work to take down the building should be done by Wednesday of the following week and the road should be open by Friday of the following week. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the public hearing closed. Staff recommended: 1) declaring this building dangerous; 2) ordering the property repaired so that it is deemed safe by the Building Official by November 15, 2019 by the owners or equity owners at their own risk; 3) ordering the Building Inspector to cause the repairs so that it is deemed safe by the Building Official if not completed by the owners within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) ordering the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs to be charged against the lands on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners. Mr. Lindell moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to: 1) declare this building dangerous; 2) order the property repaired so that it is deemed safe by the Building Official by November 15, 2019 by the owners or equity owners at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repairs so that it is deemed safe by the Building Official if not completed by the owners within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs to be charged against the lands on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owners. Additionally, that the Mayor and City Manager contact the Secretary of Transportation to look for an alternate path to open up The Green a little bit more for the downtown businesses to, hopefully, have some business. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Slavin and Sudler absent).

◦ On 10/20/19 @ 18:12 hours, the Fire Marshal was contacted by the Dover Fire Department after they responded to 304 S. State St. for a structural collapse with a subject possibly trapped.

304 S. State St. History On the morning of 10/21/19 the Fire Marshal, Building Inspector, and Code Enforcement met onsite with the building owner and an engineer that the owner hired. The insurance company was involved by phone. It was determined that the engineer would generate a report and that we would meet in the afternoon in reference to a plan/schedule to have the wall secured. On the afternoon of 10/21/19 the Fire Marshal, Building Inspector, and Code Enforcement met with the building owner, an engineer hired by the owner, and a contractor hired by the owner. The plan forward was to stabilize the building and evaluate what needs to be done to make the building safe. The engineer and contractor was going to work together on the project. They felt that the front wall would need to be removed and secured until a decision could be made on how to put the wall back in place. The contractor was deemed responsible to come into compliance with Del Dot due to State St. being a State roadway. On 10/28/19, the Fire Marshal and Building Inspector were advised that the insurance company had placed the engineer and contractor on hold until they could have a representative on scene (estimated November 12, 2019). The Fire Marshal spoke to the owner regarding the same.

PROCLAMATION Whereas, Nurse Practitioners are highly skilled with advanced education and clinical training building upon their initial registered nurse preparation who serve as trusted frontline health care providers for patients providing primary, acute and specialty care to patients of all ages and walks of life in the City ofDover; and Whereas, in addition to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions, Nurse Practitioners focus on health promotion, disease prevention and health education and counseling, guiding patients to make smarter health and lifestyle choices. Better utilization ofNurse Practitioners through modernized state laws and improved system policies creates better health through a more accessible, efficient, cost-effective and higher quality health care system; and Whereas, the 2019 American Association ofNurse Practitioners theme, "270,000 NPs: Health Care you Can Trust", is a testament to the faith and confidence that patients have in the quality of care provided by Nurse Practitioners as evidenced by the more than one billion visits made every year. NOW THEREFORE I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DO VER do hereby proclaim November 10 - 16, 2019 as Nurse Practitioner Week in the City ofDover and recognize the immeasurable contributions Nurse Practitioners have made over the past half century and will continue to make to the health and well- being of citizens in Dover and surrounding communities.

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION The Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) met on October 17, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Gaddis presiding. Members present were Mr. Fleming, Mrs. Herbert, and Ms. Paige. Ms. Mullen and Mr. Rocha were absent. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mrs. Herbert moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Paige and unanimously carried. Discussion of Revisions to the DHRC Strategic Plan Mr. Gaddis provided a handout titled “City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021” (Attachment #1) for members to review individually. I. Introduction Mr. Gaddis asked members if they had any additions, corrections, comments, observations, or amendments. II. Mission There was no discussion. III. Vision Responding to Mr. Gaddis, Mrs. Herbert stated that she did not think the proposed strategic plan needed to be changed, but that she was thrilled with the vision section because it was one clean sentence that says what they want to do and it is something members could remember. IV. Long-Term Objectives Mrs. Herbert asked if the Commission needed to include in the plan how they would accomplish the objectives “promote” and “develop.” She expressed concern with the intake form in III. Vision - Mission Component - A.2 of the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, noting that she was under the impression that the intake form was something that someone with a problem would give to the Commission. Mrs. Herbert advised that she did not know they were assessing the community based on the intake form. Mr. Gaddis asked Mrs. Herbert if she would suggest putting a period after conflict and leaving the rest out since that would be an indication of how the Commission would be going to accomplish the objectives. Responding, Mrs. Herbert stated she would because members have discussed that intake forms were to let members know that somebody had an issue. She noted that it would be better to leave it open ended as to how they were going to do that. Mr. Gaddis agreed with Mrs. Herbert because members should not be trying to figure out how to accomplish these objectives until the new strategic plan is adopted by Council. He stated that after it is adopted by Council, then they will figure out how to do it. Mr. Gaddis stated he would agree with removing those four words. Mr. Fleming stated that he understood the reasoning, but thought one of the reasons members wanted an intake form mentioned was so that people would understand that they are bringing the intake form back. He noted that members would not necessarily limit the

Page 37

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 2019 PAGE 2 ways to measure and monitor community relations solely through an intake form, but he thought members wanted to say or mention the intake form so that people know what it is and may know where to get one if they were having problems. Mrs. Herbert stated that the Commission needs an intake form, but that it was putting the cart before the horse, that first members have to outline what they are going to do, and then have an intake form and put it out. She noted that they should just leave it and then the intake form should stand by itself somewhere. Mr. Fleming stated that he agreed and that he just wanted the term in there so everyone would know what it is and would be able to dispense one if they were requested. Mrs. Herbert noted that it would go along with their work, once they have developed a strategic plan then members would present it to different groups and people and tell them how to use it. Mr. Gaddis stated if members mention an intake form, it sounds like it is the only way, and if they take out those four words, it leaves it open ended and members can hope to develop various ways. Mr. Fleming stated that he agreed and understood. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend striking the words “using an intake form,” from the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Mission Component - A.2, seconded by Mrs. Herbert and unanimously carried. Mr. Fleming suggested placing the phrase “one of the means of establishing a process would be the use of the intake form,” or “an intake form,” in the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Mission Component - C.1. Mrs. Herbert agreed it was the right area for the intake form but stating “such as an intake form,” because it is not going to be the first thing members put out. She stated C.1 could include “such as an intake form and information provided by our other partners,” or just leave it out and wait until they have an intake form. Ms. Paige suggested placing the intake form in the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Mission Component - C.2. Mrs. Herbert noted that the Commission handles incidences through C.2. Mr. Fleming stated that he would prefer not to include the intake form in C.2 with the State. Mrs. Herbert stated that the State handles just two things: discrimination and housing. She noted that the State gave her a long list of other places to refer things that do not come under those categories. Ms. Paige stated she was thinking along the lines of someone calling the Commission to try to state a complaint. One of her responses would be, “would you please complete an intake form,” because sometimes the person can get a better idea when they put it in writing or even see if they are really serious about it if they put it on an intake form or a complaint form, and then it would appear to her as though they could review the forms and see whether or not members may need to make a referral or whether it is something that they could handle themselves. Mr. Fleming asked if C.1 could read as “Determine when a diversity, inclusion, and/or human relations issue exists and establish a process for responding to complaints, such as an intake form, and take action to resolve or improve the situation.”

Page 38

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 2019 PAGE 3 Responding to Mrs. Herbert, Mr. Fleming stated to use the intake form as an example. Ms. Paige noted that the NAACP does not deal with complaints if the person does not complete an intake form. Mr. Fleming stated that he just wanted to see the intake form mentioned somewhere so that when Council approves the strategic plan they will understand that it is one of the ways the Commission gathers information. Mrs. Herbert stated that the intake form could fit in a part where it lists using such tools as verbal referrals, intake forms, and written complaints. Mr. Gaddis stated that it could be placed in proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Mission Component - C.1 and read as, “Develop a means such as an intake form, written complaint or a verbal complaint, in order to determine when a diversity, inclusion, and/or human relation issue exists, and establish a process for receiving and responding to complaints and take action to resolve or improve the situation.” Mr. Gaddis noted that would leave the Commission wide open. Responding to Mrs. Herbert, Mr. Gaddis stated that it does not mean the Commission is restricted solely to what they have said and that it would go under C.1. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend amending the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Mission Component - C.1 to read as, “Develop a means such as an intake form, written complaint or a verbal complaint, in order to determine when a diversity, inclusion, and/or human relation issue exists, and establish a process for receiving and responding to complaints and take action to resolve or improve the situation,”. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Herbert and unanimously carried. Mr. Gaddis stated that he had a correction in proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Competency Transparency and Accountability - D.5 that “see” should read as “seek.” Mr. Fleming noted that he thought somewhere in the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, there was a place that indicated that the Commission would be allowed to meet groups and go places other than just meeting at City Hall, but he was not sure. Mrs. Herbert responded, stating that she thought they were allowed to attend events, festivals, and things but as individual members and if they got together as members to do actual work it had to be at City Hall. Ms. Janella Tauchus, Administrative Assistant, stated that it cannot appear as if members are talking about City or DHRC business outside of their official meetings because it is in the City's code. Mr. Gaddis stated that they have to get the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021 passed by Council before members decided how they are going to accomplish things. Mr. Gaddis referenced the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Competency Transparency and Accountability - D.1 and stated that it would mean that members would be allowed to develop activities.

Page 39

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 2019 PAGE 4 Mrs. Herbert noted that there was a typographical error in III. Vision - Mission Component - Objectives - B.3. Responding, Mr. Fleming stated that his concern was not with needing a way to get permission to do anything before members did it, but being able to do a variety of things members deem necessary to promote D.1. Mrs. Herbert stated that she was confused because when Ms. Mullen wanted to put on an event she was told she could not. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend revising the proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2019-2021, III. Vision - Mission Component - Objectives - B.3 to include, “and create programs and events,” seconded by Ms. Paige and unanimously carried. Mr. Gaddis emphasized that the Commission put in the phrase, "a link to Ordinance 2013-15, Sec. 58-36 Powers and Duties," so that citizens are aware that there is a Commission and what they are allowed to do, supposedly by Council. V. Implementation and Organizational Structure Mr. Gaddis reviewed V. Implementation and Organizational Structure and recommended eliminating the words “long-term,” because the proposed strategic plan does not have long-term objectives. Mr. Fleming noted that they also need to take out long-term in front of strategic objectives. Responding to Mr. Fleming, Mrs. Herbert suggested also striking “short-term”, feeling that they should not have any kind of timeline. Mr. Gaddis stated he was tempted to take out the word “goals” as well, since they have goals. He noted that they will include priorities and initiatives. Mrs. Herbert stated that they would also have to go with shorter periods of time. Mr. Gaddis stated he had a problem with that and Mrs. Herbert agreed. By unanimous consent, members moved to recommend eliminating the words, “long-term,” and “short-term,” from the proposed strategic plan. Mrs. Herbert moved to recommend that the last sentence of the first paragraph of City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan, 2015-2018 - V. Implementation and Organizational Structure read “These work plans will include priorities and initiatives.” The motion was seconded by Mr. Fleming and unanimously carried. Mrs. Herbert stated that the old plan called for some professional experiences or skills that some of the members do not have to correctly measure performance. She noted that their performance measures are a very tricky thing. Mr. Gaddis suggested removing “long term,” from the second paragraph. Mr. Fleming noted that “objections” in the second paragraph should be “objectives.” Mr. Gaddis noted that the committee system had not worked for as long as he has been on the Commission. He noted that the previous chairman appointed him chair of the Governmental Policy, Programs, and Practices Committee and could not get anybody to work with him and he also tried unsuccessfully on his own. Mrs. Herbert stated that it suggests that people should be brought in from the community, but since the

Page 40

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 2019 PAGE 5 Commission cannot get enough people to fill their Commission it would be difficult. Mr. Gaddis stated that he has only been in Dover since 2008 and he does not know enough people. Mrs. Herbert stated that it seems to go around to the same people, that there is a small group of people in the community that do some of the stuff, but questioned if the Commission has to have that section on the strategic plan. Responding to Mr. Gaddis, Mrs. Herbert clarified that she questioned the section regarding implementation and organizational structure. She noted that she can see the Commission having the organizational structure, but the issue is what Council wants them to do. She noted that the strategic plan should mention that they are an advisory board, not a decision making board, but that they will meet on a regular basis to develop, implement, and monitor work for specific strategic objectives assigned to the committee. Mr. Fleming stated that he agreed with Mrs. Herbert and suggested including the sixth paragraph of proposed City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan, 2015-2018 - V. Implementation and Organizational Structure and to eliminate the rest, specifying what committees there may be. He noted that they could make that decision if and when the time comes. Mrs. Herbert agreed with Mr. Fleming and stated that the other part that disturbs her is that at least three members of the Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) are included. She stated that she was looking at three members at the meeting and believed it was too specific. Mrs. Herbert stated that they need to say they can implement people to work on strategic goals if necessary. She noted that suggestions they make would not necessarily be controlled by the City Council, but knows that their presentation would be. Mrs. Herbert stated she could see members doing a festival if they got permission to do it or starting things like Community Day. She noted that the current strategic plan sounds like it was written in a college handbook and taken from it. Mr. Gaddis stated or a bureaucracy. Mr. Gaddis stated that he thought the first paragraph makes sense, as revised, once the Commission adopts priorities and initiatives. He asked if the second paragraph could be eliminated. Mrs. Herbert asked if they could keep paragraph one and two and leave out the rest. She noted that they would be saying it suggests that the committee structure be utilized to make these improvements. Mrs. Herbert asked if they have to say how many people and who has to be on it. Mr. Gaddis suggested eliminating the third and fourth paragraphs on page five of V. Implementation and Organizational Structure, and eliminating everything on page six. Mrs. Herbert stated that they have to add that the functional committees are advisory, not decision making. She noted that Council will insist that be in there, to make sure we know. Mr. Gaddis suggested adding that statement to the second paragraph. Responding to Ms. Paige, Mrs. Herbert stated that they would leave that particular sentence and strike everything else. Mrs. Herbert noted that she thought they had too many words, that it is confusing and they are trying to get it down to the basics. She stated that they will have certain things it has to set up and they know that there will be times when they have to have functional committees. Mrs. Herbert stated they need to understand that they are advisory, not decision making.

Page 41

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 2019 PAGE 6 Mrs. Herbert recommended keeping the last sentence on page five. Mr. Gaddis agreed. Responding to Mr. Gaddis, Mrs. Herbert recommended eliminating the third paragraph on page five because it is telling members exactly how many members to have and who. She noted they would be very fortunate to get enough people to make a committee. Mrs. Herbert moved to recommend striking the third paragraph under the City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan, 2015-2018 - V. Implementation and Organizational Structure on page five in its totality. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fleming. Ms. Paige asked if that gives the Commission the right to include outsiders and where they are able to do that. Responding, Mrs. Herbert stated that they should be able to make up their functional committees as they see fit. She noted that City Council has not told them that they cannot and they have said add advisors, et cetera, and that is not going to be easy. Mrs. Herbert stated that the more words they put in, the harder it is going to be to create their committees. Mr. Gaddis suggested finding outside people to help them and if they get caught and City Council objects, fine. He noted that this is the way some things actually do work. Mr. Gaddis noted the members know people and to fake it. The motion to recommend striking the third paragraph under the City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan, 2015-2018 - V. Implementation and Organizational Structure on page five in its totality was unanimously carried. Mr. Gaddis stated that Mrs. Herbert suggested and members agreed to move the last sentence of paragraph four into paragraph two. Mr. Gaddis asked if there was anything in paragraph four worth keeping besides the last sentence. Responding, Mrs. Herbert stated that most of the paragraph is repetitive in telling members they have to meet. Mrs. Herbert moved to recommend moving the last sentence of paragraph four to be the last sentence in paragraph two. Mr. Gaddis stated that he thought they already agreed on that. (City Clerk’s Office Note: There was no second to Mrs. Herbert’s motion to recommend moving the last sentence of paragraph four to be the last sentence of paragraph two; therefore, this amendment must be reconsidered.) Mr. Fleming moved to recommend striking the fourth paragraph under the City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan, 2015-2018 - V. Implementation and Organizational Structure on page five, seconded by Mrs. Herbert and unanimously carried. Mr. Gaddis requested members to turn to page six of the City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan, 2015-2018. Mrs. Herbert asked if they would strike “long term strategies,” in the first sentence. She also asked if the first sentence on page six of the City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2018 was saying that as a whole group they can just do something. Mr. Gaddis stated that it was sticky, and that they have had a couple of meetings

Page 42

DOVER HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 2019 PAGE 7 "as a committee of the whole" and everything has been recorded thanks to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Mrs. Herbert stated that she assumed that it would mean they would have to do their work at City Hall. Mr. Gaddis stated that they struck down paragraph four on page five of the current strategic plan referring to functional committees and paragraph three referring to establishing three member committees. He stated that they will be at the Commission and they will be acting as a whole and on a needed basis, maybe separated into committees, but that they are not mandating committees. Mrs. Herbert stated that if they decided there was a strategic objective and that they needed to act as a whole they could ask their parishioners if they could do that or they can leave the sentence and stick it around somewhere in paragraph two. Mr. Gaddis stated that they could eliminate the sentence entirely. Mrs. Herbert noted that she thought that might be the best solution to start with. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend striking that top sentence of page six of the current strategic plan, seconded by Ms. Paige and unanimously carried. Mr. Gaddis reviewed the second paragraph of page six of the current strategic plan. Mr. Fleming recommended eliminating the word additionally and additional. Mr. Gaddis suggested removing functional, as well. Mrs. Herbert asked if the additional committees that they know do not work would be eliminated and noted that if they are eliminating those committees they do not need the paragraph. Mr. Fleming recommended striking the word additional within the paragraph. Mr. Gaddis concurred, noting that if there is a particular issue that two or three members are able to deal with they could act as a committee to advise the commission as a whole. Mr. Fleming suggested striking the remainder of the section, starting at the word “based.” Mrs. Herbert concurred. Mr. Fleming moved to recommend the corrections to that paragraph and to strike additionally, additional, and the remainder of the section starting at the word, “based.” The motion was seconded by Mrs. Herbert. Mrs. Herbert requested Mr. Fleming to read the section, as revised. She asked, since they were removing the committees that they know do not work, if there was a way they can do it where instead of saying not identified in the plan, just say in order to respond to an emergent human relations issue, the commission may from time to time create a committee. Responding, Mr. Fleming said they can. The motion to recommend making the corrections to the second paragraph of page six of the current strategic plan and to strike additionally, additional, and the remainder of the section starting at the word “based” was unanimously carried. Discussion - Intake Form Mr. Fleming moved to defer this item to the next scheduled DHRC meeting, due to time constraints, seconded by Ms. Paige and unanimously carried.

They are appointed by the president of the Dover City Council, based upon recommendations from and subject to confirmation by the Council. The Commission began a strategic planning process to define its strategy, focus and direction for the years 2015-2018. This has evolved into a revised Strategic Plan for the years 2019-2021. In developing this phase of the planning process the Commission, based upon the first phase, has organized its objectives around the components of its mission, its commitment to competency, transparency, public accountability and in accordance with the aforementioned Ordinance. II MISSION The Commission is committed to a philosophy of inclusion, intergroup cooperation and fair treatment.

By involving all segments of the community, the Commission promotes an understanding of and an appreciation of the benefits of diversity, inclusion, cultural competency, and positive intergroup relations among the City’s diverse residents. It also advocates for an environment of fairness and respect. The Commission works with the City Council, the City Administration and community organizations to enhance intergroup relationships, to eliminate discrimination, and to anticipate, prepare for and resolve incidents of intergroup conflicts and disputes within the city.

COMPETENCY TRANSPARENCY ANDand ACCOUNTABILITY D. The Commission is committed to acting with a high degree of competency, and transparency, and accountability both to the Dover City Council and to the community. Long-term Objectives D.1 Establish regular two-way communication between Council and the Commission Regularly provide an update on the Commission’s activities, progress and accomplishments to the Dover City Council; and, provide opportunities for the Council to review and affirm the Commission’s Strategic Plan and activities regarding, including a process which encourages Council members to identify specific diversity, inclusion, and human relationrelations issues that may be particularly critical or relevant within each City Council District.

D.5 Beyond the City’s Budget line, the Commission may identifyIdentify and seekseek funding from other sourcesgovernmental, philanthropic or private organizations to more effectively carry out its responsibilities. V. IMPLEMENTATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Once the Commission adopts these proposed long-term strategic objectives the Commission will develop and implement specific work plans for each long-term strategic objective within the assigned year or years. These work plans will include short-term goals/priorities and /initiatives. with specific performance measures and action items to be accomplished within shorter time periods. The Dover Code of Ordinances centralizes decision making at the Commission level. However, it is suggested that a functional committee structure be utilized to move these long-term strategic objections into actual performance. Each of these Committees shall consist of at least three members of the DHRC and may include outside advisors, citizens, and City staff members to more effectively develop and execute the work plans. Individual Commissioners may serve on one or more Committees. These functional Committees are advisory, not decision-making. They are transparent and accountable to the Commission and the community at large. They will meet on a regular basis to develop, implement and monitor work plans for the specific long-term strategic objectives assigned to the committee. Their work plans will be presented to and adopted by the full Commission prior to implementation. The Commission may assign one or more long term strategic objectives to the Commission “acting as a whole”. 6

Page 54

City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2018 Additionally, in In order to respond to an emergent human relations issue that may not be identified in this plan, the Commission may from time to time create an additional functional committee. Such committees are intended to convene, and make recommendations for action to the full Commission; and, then disband when they are no longer relevant or needed. Based on the set of proposed long-term objectives identified in this strategic plan, it is suggested that the following functional committees be established: Government Policy, Programs, and Practices Committee—to develop, implement and monitor work plans for Objectives A.1, A.2, C-3 and C.4 Community Engagement Committee—to develop, implement and monitor work plans for Objectives: B.1, B.2 and B.3. Education Committee—to develop and implement plans for Objectives: B.4, D.3. Communications Committee—to develop, implement and monitor work plans for Objectives D.1, and D.2. The Commission as a “whole” to develop implement and monitor work plans for Objectives: C.1, C.2, D.4 and D.5. Actions History 10/13/2014 - Approved by City Council 09/23/2014 - Introduced at Dover Human Relations Commission 09/08/2014 - Draft prepared by Eugene B. Ruane, City of Dover Human Relations Commissioner i It is critical that the Commission agree on a definition of diversity. Howard J. Ross, one of the nation’s recognized leaders on diversity and organizational change notes that “diversity has generally represented an acceptance of difference, a lack of discrimination due to difference, and a presence of different kinds of people in organizations”. However, he argues that in this narrow view, diversity “has been related to as a means to erase or fix problems” rather than as a “way to create a new future vision”. The focus of this limited understanding is “the level of challenges (or “illness”)” that some people face: “bias, discrimination, lack of access, oppression, physical and emotional violence, and soon.” The response was then on “passing laws and then instituting compliance measures to make it illegal to continue these practices.” The goal was to “create a state of social diversity, where people were not denied their rights, were more appropriately represented in organizations, and were not actively discriminated against.” He calls this approach “the health-care metaphor” focused on efforts to “create organizations in which people are no longer “sick”. (Howard J. Ross, ReInventing Diversity Transforming 7

Page 55

City of Dover Human Relations Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2018 Organizational Community to Strengthen People, Purpose, and Performance ( Lanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. 2011, page 33) Mr. Ross promotes a broader understanding that goes beyond simply prohibiting discrimination and getting people in the door. He states that a diversity focus or program “means creating opportunities for people to be a part of the fundamental fabric of the way the organization functions---decision-making, responsibility, leadership—and then creating organizations that are culturally competent, culturally intelligent, and culturally flexible.” We have to “really develop a sense of inclusion” and “a certain level of competence in understanding the needs of various people we are working with and serving”. This requires a “systematic approach to incorporating an awareness of diversity and skills related to diversity into everything an organization does.” ( Ibid. 34) (Author’s Comment: A brief internet search of diversity programs has revealed that many organizations have adopted the broader approach that Mr. Ross has formulated. These programs reframe the conversation to focus on fair treatment and respect, and away from discrimination and “protected classes”. An example from CUNY Queensborough Community College in New York City is attached. See: Definition for Diversity in Exhibit 1.) ii Inclusion “is not simply a function of how fully involved people are in the structures of their organizations and societies”. It is “a function of connection”. “It is the ability of people to feel integrated into the cultural dynamics, leadership, and decision-making structures of the organization”. (Ibid., 38) Cultural competency is “the organizational ability to have and utilize the policies, appropriately trained and skilled iii employees, and specialized resources to systematically anticipate, recognize, and respond to the varying expectations (language, cultural, and religious) of customers, clients, patients, and co-workers of diverse backgrounds.” It requires a certain amount of “cultural intelligence” in that “people need to have knowledge of both distinctions of culture and of the specific traits of different cultures”. It requires a certain amount of “cultural humility “in that we need to be able to recognize that our cultural models may simply be different from , rather than better than, those of other people.” And, “people also require a degree of “cultural flexibility” “to facilitate interaction with others on their own terms.” (Ibid. 38) Queensborough Community College in New York has included a description of when “a diversity issue exists” in its iv Definition for Diversity. See Exhibit 1.) 8

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on October 29, 2019 at 6:03 p.m., with Councilman Slavin presiding in the absence of Council President Hare. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:09 p.m.), Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole (departed at 6:38 p.m. and returned at 6:41 p.m.), Mr. Polce (arrived at 6:35 p.m.), and Mr. Taylor. Mr. Lindell and Mr. Hare were absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Garfinkel (Safety Advisory and Transportation), Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Haass (Utility), and Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Shelton was absent. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Garfinkel and unanimously carried. Six Month Review of St. Francis as the City's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Provider Mr. Joe Leonetti, Senior Director of Operations for Support Services; Mr. Scott Bundek, Chief of EMS; Mr. Mike O’Connor, Captain of the Dover Division; and Mr. Dan Senate, President and CEO of Saint Francis, were present and reviewed a presentation entitled “Saint Francis EMS 6 Month Report to City Council - Dover Division” (Attachment #1). Mr. Neil asked how many calls they normally respond to annually outside of the City of Dover. Responding, Mr. Bundek advised that there had been four instances that he could think of within the last six months. Mr. Sudler, noting the additional 180 hours of training, asked how many hours were spent on cultural diversity, communication, or sensitivity training. Mr. Bundek stated that they have communication as part of the actual curriculum and sensitivity toward the patients; however, it was not necessarily diversity training. He advised that they were working with Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic on a diversity and inclusion plan. Mr. Sudler asked what concerns or suggestions they may have heard from constituents through their outreach within the community. Mr. Bundek responded that they started working with Luther Towers residents weekly to check blood pressure and perform diabetic screening. He stated that it was such a good community outreach that they have extended it to Luther Village and they would like to include some of the community centers. Mr. Anderson requested an update on the status of the new West Side EMS station. Responding, Mr. Bundek advised that Kent County Levy Court is building a new facility for the paramedic service and St. Francis has discussed with Kent County the possibility of locating one of their units or collocating a unit with them at that facility when it is constructed. He stated that it was his understanding that the building has been designed and that they are just waiting for site plan approvals to move forward. Mr. Garfinkel asked if they were still experiencing unusual or problematic wait times at Bayhealth. Mr. Bundek advised that they worked with the emergency department staff on that issue and they have been able to reduce the amount of time that the ambulance is out of service waiting for a bed. He noted that their

Page 57

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 29, 2019 PAGE 2 average turnaround time for August was 13 minutes and 26 seconds and for September it was 15 minutes and 17 seconds. Mr. Bundek stated that their goal was to be less than 20 minutes and they are well below that. He advised that they have a very good relationship with the emergency department director and they keep those lines of communication open. Mr. Taylor asked which training academy St. Francis uses when they are not running their own. Mr. Bundek advised that prior to starting their field training program, new hires would be paired with a field training officer and they would spend between 8 and 12 weeks riding with a senior EMT. He also advised that they have several instructors who are certified through the Delaware State Fire School that can provide the EMS curriculum directly to their staff and they run monthly training as well as individual specialty classes. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Garfinkel and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Waiver for Annexation Requirement 1140-1290 South Bay Road - Water Service Request Mrs. Sharon Duca, Director of Public Works, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Waiver for Annexation Requirement 1140-1290 South Bay Road - Water Service Request. Staff recommended waiving the annexation requirement of 1140-1290 South Bay Road in order to receive water service from the City of Dover. Mayor Christiansen clarified that the contamination was a result of the aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) that was used by Dover Air Force base fire department, not the Dover fire department. Mr. Neil suggested extending an invitation for the properties to apply for annexation, noting the reduced water and electric rates. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that they could be invited to annex once this project was completed; however, sewer was not available nearby and it would be cost prohibitive to try to extend it to those properties. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the water is on the other side of the highway and they would have to go under the highway to get water to these properties. She advised that it was her understanding that Dover Air Force Base would be paying for the project and Staff was pro-actively asking for the waiver to prepare for the base to move forward. Mr. Polce noted that Dover Air Force Base is designated as a super fund site and the federal government would be responsible for the remediation costs. Mayor Christiansen advised that the federal government

Page 58

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 29, 2019 PAGE 3 has paid for these projects for other bases in similar situations and he did not think that Dover taxpayers would be impacted. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she was not asking for a project, only the waiver of the annexation requirement in case the base needs to move forward quickly. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff’s recommendation to waive the annexation requirement of 1140-1290 South Bay Road in order to receive water service from the City of Dover. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Water/Wastewater Rate Study Results and Recommendations Mr. Jason Lyon, Assistant Public Works Director, reviewed the background and analysis for the Water/Wastewater Rate Study Results and Recommendations. Mr. Eric Callocchia, Executive Consultant, and Mr. Nicholas Short, Analyst, with NewGen Strategies & Solutions reviewed a presentation on the Water/Wastewater Rate Study Results and Recommendations. Mr. Anderson expressed concern with the flat rate doubling instead of keeping it stable and asked what the revenue differences were. Responding, Mr. Callocchia stated that the revenue difference was zero because they designed the rate structures to raise the same amount of revenue. He noted that the logic was twofold. First, there is an incentive to conserve water under this rate structure, adding that the tier cutoff of 6,100 is the City’s much larger customers that are using millions of gallons a year. Mr. Callocchia advised that they get a pricing signal from that tiered structure that if they cut their use a little bit they can save some money. Mr. Callocchia advised that the second part is that the City’s system is built for peak demands on the water side and there needs to be peak capacity available mostly on the residential side in the morning when people are waking up and in the evening when people are going to sleep or showering. He noted that on the commercial side some of the industrial users use a whole lot of water during the day and the system needs to meet that peak demand through the size of the pipes supporting those large customers. Mr. Callocchia stated that the City had built a water tank to support a specific customer, so the City now owns and maintains that infrastructure because of those larger users. He noted that there is both a pricing signal to conserve for those customers and there is a pricing signal that they are costing this system a certain amount of money and the City wants to, if not directly allocate that, account for that cost allocation in the rate structure. Recalling the Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) issue approximately 15 years ago which resulted in a concerted plan to move forward, Mr. Slavin asked if there had been any improvements to lowering the percentage, what the current percentage was, and what the delta was between what the City bills and what the City gets billed for wastewater. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that the City is transmitting more water and sewer to the County than is being billed to the customer. She noted that the difference between the bill and what is collected from the customers is what the I & I was intended to cover, and it did when it was first started; however, rainy seasons resulted in a deficit. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell advised that they smoke tested the system to see where illegal connections were. She also noted that they have tried to put $1M a year from that I & I in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); however, one of the pitfalls is that whenever there is an emergency repair or

Page 59

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 29, 2019 PAGE 4 something breaks, the funds for the repairs are taken from the I & I or from water quality because the rest of the money is dedicated to specific projects and the money is not always there for the capital needs. Mr. Slavin asked what the current percentage was between what we bill and what we get billed for. Mrs. Mitchell advised that she did not know the current percentage but would e-mail it to all members of Council. Mr. Slavin also asked Mrs. Mitchell to provide what that trend looks like over the last three or four years, if the data is available. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Mrs. Mitchell responded with the following information: In FY18 the Kent County Treatment Fees from our Customers totaled $2,813,867 or 71% of the Kent County Charges for Treatment of $3,985,933 which is a shortfall of $1,172,066. In FY19 the Kent County Treatment Fees from our customers totaled $2,902,852 or 60% of the Kent County Charges for Treatment of $4,816,650 which is a shortfall of $1,913,798. Please note, the Treatment Fees are billed to our customers based on their water usage, not what is transferred to Kent County for treatment. Kent County bills us on what is transferred, which includes stormwater getting into the sewer mains. The I & I Surcharge we implemented in 2011 is meant to cover this gap plus the CIP budget. It came in at about $1.8 million in revenue for both years. However, depending on budget availability, we attempt to budget approximately $1 million for I & I projects each year. In FY18 the $1.8 million of receipts was not sufficient to cover the shortfall plus the project budget, the same goes for FY19. This gap is weather dependent and would not be this big during dry years.) Mr. Slavin stated that he thought the presentation addressed two things that are at the root cause of this issue. One is deferred maintenance and how during leaner economic times we just stall a lot of typical maintenance projects to the system and now that bill has come due and it needs to be addressed. The other is that the model puts them in alignment with their thinking that services should pay for themselves. Mr. Slavin stated that the model would be utility based rather than tax based because they are not getting enough money to cover these costs on the utility side and they are taking it out of the tax side. He reminded members that a large portion of the City is untaxed and shifting these costs to utility based will help to address the issue. Mr. Slavin stated that the third cause is that they did make some concessions to Calpine when they came online and they are obviously one of the biggest users of water in the city. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell advised that Calpine does not receive a discounted rate. Mr. Neil expressed concern with the rates and asked if the flat rate could be raised in increments of fifty cents over time while holding the cost of water at $3 per thousand gallons. He thought the increase would have a psychological effect because they have raised the rates and implemented a lodging tax. Mrs. Mitchell recommended against incrementally increasing the flat rate. She noted that they recently increased the flat rate for electric to help cover those fixed costs because those fixed costs are always going to be there and she suggested the same for water and sewer. Mrs. Mitchell advised that she was working on a power cost adjustment (PCA) credit for electric to smooth this out for the customers. She noted that she has recommended deferring setting the rates until January so that she can finalize the PCA, as well as obtain public input. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the power savings was $3.3M last year, in addition to the rate stabilization reserve savings from last year. She noted that the County’s rate increase was 23%, not 10%, so their costs were going up the same ratio and it validated where this rate increase should be if they are using their costs of service and the City is using its cost of service. Mrs. Mitchell noted that she would like to come back in

Page 60

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 29, 2019 PAGE 5 January with a full presentation of the rates with a PCA credit and an example of what the total utility bill will look like for the customer. Referring to slide nine and the fund balance, Mr. Polce asked if those numbers were aggregated by the assumption of the $22.8M that they set aside over the next five fiscal years for spending. Mr. Callocchia stated that it was and that it assumes the increased expenditures with no increase in revenues. Responding to Mr. Polce, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the goal in the capital plan is $22.8M in allocations in the next five fiscal years. She noted that it would have to be split up because some of it is being funded through impact fee reserves in the current plan, some of it is being financed, and some of it is cash. The million dollars set aside each year for I & I and water quality is actually cash money that is funded every year for developing and bidding projects. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the cost of projects that are engineered and designed are embedded. If the costs are substantial they will be financed through the State Revolving Fund Loan. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to bring forward the revised rates to City Council for approval in January 2020, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler. Referring to the regional comparisons, Mr. Anderson asked if there was a reason that Tidewater was not included. Mr. Callocchia stated that private companies were not included because they do not have the same requirements, they bill at a different structure, and they are for profit and they wanted to compare apples to apples. Mr. Anderson requested that the Tidewater information be provided. Mr. Anderson concurred with Mr. Neil about phasing the increases because the flat rate increase, together with the property tax increases, would be upsetting to seniors in particular. Mr. Slavin stated that it was reckless to hint that they were being reckless in paying for needed improvements to an infrastructure system. Mr. Short stated that the financial model is dynamic and very, very detailed and they would be able to provide a phase in over three or five years. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to see how it would work and noted that he definitely believes that they need to pay for the infrastructure. The only question he had was what is the best way to achieve that and he was not sure that an immediate flat rate increase is the best way, particularly with the tax increases. The motion to recommend authorizing the City Manager to bring forward the revised rates to City Council for approval in January 2020, as recommended by staff, was unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mrs. Haass and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Councilman Slavin presiding in the absence of Chairman Lindell.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 29, 2019 PAGE 6 Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Authorization to Purchase - Replacement of 1997 Pierce Rescue Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis for Authorization to Purchase - Replacement of 1997 Pierce Rescue. Mr. Slavin asked if the City only buys Pierce trucks. Responding, Fire Chief Ronald Rhodes advised that bids were sent to Pierce, E-One, and Seagrave and Pierce was the only company that returned a bid. Recalling a previous purchase, Mr. Slavin asked if it was because the specifications that were issued were only for a Pierce truck. Chief Rhodes responded that the specifications were generic with just minimum classifications. Mr. Slavin recalled that when they received only one bidder previously, it was because the specific items on the truck were only manufactured by Pierce. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell concurred and noted that they also had a bid protest as a result of that. Chief Rhodes advised that anyone could have bid this truck. He noted that they did request compartments to be a certain size to fit certain equipment. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Chief Rhodes speculated that it may be because Robbins Hose Company is a Pierce house. Mayor Christiansen stated that Dover’s equipment is standardized and that this was a legitimate bid and the other companies chose not to bid. Responding to Mr. Polce, Chief Rhodes stated that the old Pierce Rescue would be put out on bid for sale and the revenues from the sale would go toward new hose air packs and equipping the truck. Mr. Polce requested further information about the financing. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the City will issue a letter of request for quotes from the local banks for interest rates and they will select the lowest rate to finance the truck. Mr. Taylor asked if there was really a need for a $755,000 truck right now, especially with the proposed water rate increase and a tax rate increase. Chief Rhodes advised that the last new piece of apparatus they bought was in 2011 and their fleet is getting very old. He noted that they were on a 15-year replacement plan and the equipment is going on 20 years old. Chief Rhodes stated that his maintenance costs to keep the fleet running was approximately $90,000 and is probably over $100,000 now. Chief Rhodes explained that they are moving away from specialized equipment and eventually they will be able to decrease their fleet. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the purchase of the 2020 Pierce Rescue/Pumper, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Contant, noting the 15-year replacement plan, asked what the life expectancy of this truck was. Chief Rhodes advised that most of their apparatus is 15 to 20 years old and they are at almost 1,200 fire calls to date for this year. Mr. Slavin asked if the City ever asks for a best and final offer from any of the bidders. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell advised that they do not because it is usually sealed bids. Mr. Slavin requested a review of the purchasing policy in the future.

Page 62

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF OCTOBER 29, 2019 PAGE 7 The motion to recommend approval of the purchase of the 2020 Pierce Rescue/Pumper, as recommended by Staff, was unanimously carried. Mr. Slavin suggested looking at how equipment purchases are presented in the budget documents, noting that citing the dollar amounts budgeted next to the specific equipment tips the City’s hand to bidders. He thought that there may be a way to do it where they can maintain transparency without showing exactly what they are willing to pay for each piece of equipment in advance. Amendment to Kent Economic Partnership Service Agreement Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis for the Amendment to the Kent Economic Partnership Service Agreement. Staff recommended amending the current agreement to amend Article V. Duration and Extension to provide for an annual renewal with the approval of each fiscal year’s budget. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shevock and carried with Mr. Anderson abstaining. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried.

Above and Beyond RFP #19-0001CM (amended) requested two (2) 24/7 BLS units, seven (7) days a week. St. Francis Healthcare EMS has provided two (2) 24/7 BLS units as well as a 12 hour “power unit” from the hours of 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. This increase in manpower has greatly reduced the dependency on outside agencies to cover run volume. This means the citizens of Dover are getting faster service in their time of need. ©2018 Trinity Health 5

Many of those in a endance expressed their apprecia on to us for hos ng the event and many posi ve comments were received about our park and facili es.

In general, Billed Consumption should be less than Water Production due to system water losses (fire hydrant use, breaks, etc.). 2. In general, Billed Discharge will be less than Flow to County due to system inflow & infiltration occurrences. 3. Water Production and Flow to County directly match readings taken from the 1st of the month to the end of the month for the month reported. Due to meter reading routes, readings are made throughout the month and billed within 3 days. As such, Billed Consumption and Billed Discharge components can be up to 30 days behind Water Production and Flow to County readings. 4. Oct 18 through Apr 19 Total Flow to County higher than Total Water Production due to #2 above (higher than average rainfall during these months). 5. Sep 18 and Sep 19 Billed Consumption higher than Total Water Production due to #3 above in conjunction with high demand in Aug 18 and Aug 19, respectively. 6. Aug 19 Billed Consumption increase over Aug 18 Billed Consumption primarily due to increase in water usage by Garrison Energy Center.

Memorandum To: Mayor and City Council From: Donna Mitchell, City Manager Date: October 31, 2019 Subject: Semi-Annual Inspection – Robbins Hose Company In accordance with Section 46-43 of the City Code, the City Manager performed the required semi-annual inspection of the Dover Fire Department on Thursday, October 31, 2019 with Chief Ron Rhodes. This inspection was held at Robbins Hose Station No. 2. The station continues to be maintained in accordance with best practices as is the fire apparatus and equipment. The day of inspection Station No. 2 was in pristine condition except for the upstairs meeting rooms, bathrooms and showers as explained below. The FY20 Capital Improvement Plan included $107,800 for attic fan installation, roof replacement, HVAC improvements, repairs to sheetrock tape, ceiling tile replacements, and painting. The condensation problem on the second floor is the cause of the current condition of the upstairs meeting rooms and bathrooms. Chief Rhodes reported the HVAC project, attic fan installation, and roof replacement were completed on the date of my visit, except for the electrical to the attic fans. The Central Services Director has contacted the City’s electrical contractor to assist DFD with the electric work on the attic fans. The Central Services Director will schedule the sheetrock and painting work as time permits between other projects such as Weyandt Hall and City Hall. We continue to have challenges with the Dispatch operations due to vacancies, turnover in Relief Fire Dispatchers, and scheduling conflicts of the Relief Dispatchers. One full-time position is currently vacant. In the FY20 Budget we increased the hourly rate for Relief Dispatchers in effort to retain a consistent group of part-time staff. Apparatus maintenance has been another challenge this fiscal year. The increase in this fiscal year’s annual appropriation of $28,500 has helped DFD cover these unexpected expenses. Approved budget is attached. Once again, everyone was extremely helpful with the inspection. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. cc: Ron Rhodes, Fire Chief Carter Knotts, Fire Chief’s Assistant Mike Hamlett, Central Services Director
