DOVER PROFILE
The City of Dover is in Central Delaware in Kent County and is the capital of Delaware. Dover is approximately
90 miles south of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and 90 miles east of Washington, D.C. While its population is
significantly less than that of Wilmington, Delaware, Dover encompasses a larger area than any other city on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. In contrast to most major cities in the northeast United States, Dover is continuing to grow
economically, in population, and in land area. The City has an estimated population of 38,597 and a total land
area of approximately 23.74 square miles.
The City of Dover was founded in 1683 by William Penn. In 1717, it was officially laid out over an area of 125
acres by a commission of the Delaware General Assembly. It grew to nearly 1,000 acres in size by 1960.
Prodded by the need for better fire protection emphasized by several fire losses, the town began the establishment
of a water system in 1881. Dover is fortunate to be located above an underground supply of water which has proved
more than enough to meet its needs.
Electricity came to Dover about the year 1900 when the water plant became the Light and Water Plant with the
installation of its first steam generating facilities. Current was initially supplied for street lighting, but by the year
1902, electricity was being produced and sold for commercial lighting. The electric generation and distribution
system grew with the town and beyond. Today, Dover provides electricity to approximately 25,231 customers
inside and outside City limits. North American Energy Services (NAES) manages the generation plant, and power
is now purchased utilizing services from The Energy Authority (TEA). Customer sales are approximately $80.4
million
The greatest periods of expansion in Dover occurred in the years following World War I and World War II.
Completion of the Dupont Highway throughout the length of Delaware in 1924 acted as a catalyst. Between 1925
and 1936, Dover's limits were extended and its infrastructure improved.
In 1937, the firm International Latex Corporation was the first major non-agricultural industry to Dover in 1937. It
has since been a major source of employment in the area.
In the years immediately preceding World War II, the City of Dover acquired land for the construction of an airport.
This land was developed and activated as Dover Air Force Base during World War II. Following the war, personnel
at the base was reduced to a housekeeping unit until reactivated by the Military Air Transport Service in 1954. Since
that time, it has been developed into one of the largest military air freight terminals in the world.
Dover was first incorporated in 1829 under a charter granted by the General Assembly. After 1929, Dover was
named a city, and administration of all departments of government came under the City Manager. The only
exception was the police department which was placed under the direction of the Mayor. Today, the City Council
appoints the City Manager, City Clerk, City Controller/Treasurer, City Solicitor, City Planner, Fire Marshal, and Tax
Assessor who all report directly to Council. The Mayor continues to appoint the Chief of Police. An organizational
chart is included in the Introduction section of the budget on Page 7.
Dover's governing body is composed of a full-time mayor and nine council members, with one council member
elected by Council to serve as Council president. Council members are elected from four council districts and
serve staggered four-year terms. One member of Council and the Mayor are elected at-large and serve four-year
terms. The Council is responsible for all matters of policy and is also the authority for levying taxes, securing
revenues, authorizing expenditures of City funds, and incurring City debts.
Various committees of the Council study and recommend actions to the full Council. These committees are made
up of Council members and citizen members but must be chaired by a Council member. The committees currently
are: Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee; Utility Committee; Safety Advisory and Transportation
Committee; and Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee.

Department. The Mayor effectively represents the citizens of Dover; corresponds and works with staff and elected officials
of the City in order to maintain and address issues and concerns with priority given to protecting the quality of life
that we love and enjoy; maintains and builds communications with citizens, the business community, neighborhood civic
associations, and elected officials of the City, county, state, and national levels to establish goals for the betterment
of the community; promotes the economic and social interests of the City and the general welfare of its citizens; and

CITY COUNCIL
The nine City Council members are the elected representatives of the citizens of Dover. The City Council is responsible

administration; and oversees citizen boards and commissions.

receives and responds to citizens’ complaints, inquiries, and requests; monitors Capital Investments Projects; provides
administrative support to Council and Council committees; coordinates City legal work through the City Solicitor; and
works at the pleasure of Council. The City Manager’s office is also responsible for coordinating, preparing, and
publishing the City's Capital Investments Plan, the annual budget, and the biennial revenue manual.
Emergency Preparedness became a function of the City Manager’s Office in Fiscal Year 2013. Emergency Preparedness
provides for emergency planning and preparation through developing and coordinating emergency response plans within
the City; providing training to departments on the Emergency Operations Plan; and conducting exercises to test portions
of the Plan.

The Central Services Department consists of the Central Services, Facilities Management, and Fleet Maintenance
divisions. Central Services handles purchasing, warehousing, and issuing of supplies for all the City departments.

Beginning Fiscal Year 1999, this function was provided through a combination of contracted and in-house service.
CITY CLERK
The City Clerk's office provides administrative support to the Mayor and Council, often acting as liaison between elected
officials and their constituents to resolve concerns and answer questions. It maintains all official municipal records
including agreements, easements, and transcripts of all Council and standing committee meetings. It serves as the
depository for all funds received by the City with the Clerk acting in the capacity of Assistant Treasurer. This office
coordinates and presides at all official elections and referendums and is responsible for maintaining official voter

The Fire Department protects the lives and property of the citizens and visitors of the City of Dover by providing fire
suppression and rescue services. The Department maintains a fire communications center which is staffed 24 hours a

service population for DPL is over 59,000 people. The Library is funded by City taxpayers as well as State and County
funds and some fees generated for services. In 2020 the City contracted with Library Systems and Services to provide
a Library Director and Assistant Director.
PARKS & RECREATION
The Parks & Recreation Department manages over 329 acres of parkland and open space in 30 different locations.
Moreover, in the Spring of 2020 the Grounds Department was reintegrated into the Parks Department. The
Department operates the John W Pitts Recreation Center in Schutte Park, an after-school program in Towne Pointe
Elementary School, and dozens of youth and adult athletic leagues. In summer of 202 the Park Director’s office moved
into a new maintenance and operations building adjacent to the Pitts Center to make more space available.

MAJOR INDUSTRIES
The Dover and Greater Dover Area economy are fueled by several nationally known companies such as Kraft/Heinz
Foods; Procter & Gamble; Edgewell Personal Care Brands, (formerly Playtex) and many others. Dover Air Force
Base, with assigned C-5M Super Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster III aircraft, constitutes the largest aerial military port
facility on the east coast.
Dover is the Capital City of Delaware and houses the State Legislative offices and employees. Dover is also home of
four higher education institutions with Delaware State University, Delaware Technical and Community College, Wesley
College, and Wilmington University.
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE
Located about five miles south of the capital city of Delaware, Dover Air Force Base is the home of the 436th Airlift
Wing (AMC) and the 512th AW (AFRES Associate) – “The Dover Team.” Viewed from almost any angle, the impact of
the air base on the Air Force mission and the landscape and economy of the Delmarva Peninsula is like the huge C-5M
Super Galaxy airplanes flown by the wing’s four airlift squadrons – extremely far-reaching and impressive.
The base also operates the largest aerial port facility on the east coast and serves as a focal point for military cargo
movement to Europe and the Middle East. The Port features a mechanized-computerized cargo handling arrangement
which is one of only two that exist in the United States and which makes possible the processing of up to 1,200 tons of
cargo during a 24-hour period.
The people at Dover Air Force Base are actively involved in a variety of off-base activities, and a strong base-
community program provides a forum and a spirit for military and civilian cooperation at all levels. A fine and
mutually beneficial relationship has always existed between air base personnel and the citizens of the peninsula, and
prospects for an equally bright future light the horizon as the First State continues to prosper in the future.
KRAFT/HEINZ FOODS
Dover is the home of some of America's most famous convenience food products such as Jell-O Gelatin, Jell-O
Puddings and Pie Fillings, Jell-O Cheesecake, Jell-O No-Bake Pies, Jell-O Americana Desserts, Baker's Coconut, Minute
Tapioca, Dream Whip, Capri Sun, Kool-Aid, Tang, Stove Top Stuffing Mix, and Shake ‘N Bake. All are "Produced
with Pride" by the men and women of the Dover operation of Kraft Foods. Raw materials from around the world flow
into the 121-acre site where they are processed in the 27-acre facility. The finished products are shipped to all 50
states, Canada, and the Middle East.
EDGEWELL PERONSAL CARE BRANDS
Playtex Products, Inc. manufactures such items as infant care products, feminine hygiene products, and various other
personal care products.
PROCTER & GAMBLE
Procter & Gamble’s manufacturing facility in west Dover encompasses approximately 300,000 square feet of operating
and office space and is situated on approximately 80 acres. The Dover plant produces Pampers and Luvs disposable
wet wipe paper products.
Procter & Gamble acquired the Dover facility from Kimberly-Clark and Scott Paper Company in 1996. The plant has
been part of the Dover community since 1973.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND FUTURE GROWTH
Dover is the dominant center of population, employment, commerce, education and culture in Central Delaware.
Economic growth continues in all sectors, with significant construction and permit activity occurring during the most
recent year. Population and employment growth remains steady, typically running ahead of the County growth rates.
Growth in the health care and commercial/retail sectors is especially strong, with significant new projects occurring
throughout the City. Revitalization of the historic Downtown commercial core continues, along with increasingly
successful efforts to revitalize older nearby residential neighborhoods.
Total value of commercial construction in FY 19 was approximately $28.0 million, down significantly from the prior year,
reflecting a large number of projects still under construction and fewer very large project proposals. Almost 2,000
building permits of all types were issued along with 3,900 business and related licenses and almost 4,200 rental
licenses. Year to year comparisons are not necessarily indicative of the health of Dover’s economy, due to the timing of
activity and the variability of general economic factors.
Growth and development trends during fiscal year 2019 are discussed below.
Population Growth
The last decennial census was conducted in 2010 and set Dover’s population at 36,047. The Delaware Population
Consortium estimates that Dover’s July 1, 2019 population is 38,058, or a 5.6% increase since the 2010 count. Dover’s
population is projected to reach 38,304 by 2020 and grow to 41,769 by 2035, with a sustained growth rate of about 3%
during each of the next five-year periods. Statistically, Dover’s population is younger than that of the County or the
State, with a slightly lower proportion of the population of senior citizens as well. Working-aged adults (23-64) are
projected to remain fairly stable as a percentage of the City’s population, making up slightly less than half of the City’s
population through 2030.
Residential Development
Dover’s residential market is slowly emerging from the prior recession 12 years ago, but older developments are
seeing increased build-out, and the market for apartment units has been strong. Significant activity has occurred in the
Village of Cannon Mills, Clearview Meadow TND, Village of Westover PND, the Arbors, Blue Hen Apartments, and
Leander Lakes; many of which are nearing final completion. These projects, and general residential construction, are
expected to have a positive impact on Dover’s rate of population growth.
Downtown Dover Redevelopment
Revitalization of the historic Downtown core is continuing in both commercial and residential sectors. Building plans are
moving forward for a two-building office and retail center on Loockerman Street, along with potential new businesses
locating in existing spaces. Through the efforts of National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor (NCALL) Research
and others, a number of deteriorated and blighted residential properties have been demolished, and are being replaced
by new owner-occupied dwellings, transforming entire block-fronts adjacent to the commercial core. During 2019,
nineteen residential units and three commercial units qualified for Downtown Dover Development incentives. Over
$18,600 in City Downtown Development District incentives were awarded in 2019.
Retail/Commercial Development
This sector is showing significant growth with new and expanded locations along the major highway corridors and
throughout the City. Construction of Capital Station (replacing a long vacant industrial building on US13) continues to
add tenants, including Aldi, Starbucks, Supercuts, Red Robin and Village Optical, with others underway. Lidl is building
a new grocery facility nearby. Century Engineering and Chesapeake Utilities completed new headquarters buildings
along the Bay Road Corridor, with plans for a new facility for the Solid Waste Authority, an office for Delaware State
Police, and other commercial renovations in progress in that portion of the City. Plans are also underway for a number
of new restaurants and other businesses along US 13, and along the Route 8 corridor. Other projects included new
and proposed office buildings on W. North Street, remodeling of the WAWAs on N. DuPont Highway and Route 8,
remodeling/renovations at Victoria’s Secret in the Mall and Wendy’s on US 13, construction of new offices for
Advantech in the Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center, renovations at Fordham Brewery, planning for the
renovations of the former Acme to house Hobby Lobby, and many others.

Page 28
Health Care, Institutional and Other Sectors Development
Dover’s economy is well balanced across a range of sectors including health care, government and military, education
and industrial categories. Health care, especially in 2019, saw significant projects underway or completed, including
medical offices at Eden Hill and the Post-Acute Medical Rehabilitation Hospital on McKee Road. In education,
Delaware State University approached completion of their 620 bed dormitory complex, replacing outdated existing
facilities, while Wesley College renovated a central dining lounge. NCALL is building a new office building on W.
Division Street. On the government side, three projects were in preliminary development: a new office building for the
State Police; planning for a future Family Court facility, and site selection for relocation and eventual construction of a
new U.S. Post Office for Dover.
Infrastructure
During the period of July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, the City has undertaken several large water and sewer projects to
upgrade pump stations, as well as distribution and transmission mains. These projects improved water quality,
increased system efficiency and reduced the inflow/infiltration in our sewer system. The City continues work on
upgrading our Water Treatment Plant to increase production and efficiency. The City has also repaved several streets
and upgraded the associated sidewalks during this period.
Summary
Fiscal Year 2019 saw a continuation of strong growth in the state capital. Dover remains the geographic and economic
center of the County, and is well posed for future growth, development and reinvestment.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
Students in Dover and Kent County benefit from the small size of the districts and from the diverse, well-managed
programs which are maintained with stable state support. A broad range of upper-level and advanced courses for high
school students, plus programs for gifted children and for children with physical, mental, or emotional handicaps are
available. The schools in Dover and Kent County are notable for their extracurricular activities, including athletics, the
arts, Junior Achievement, and many others. Dover and Kent County schools’ benefit from the state’s overall high
standards for education.
Students in Delaware must master basic skills in order to be promoted, and high school students must master the basic
skills to qualify for a diploma. Dover and Kent County schools are governed by local boards of education. While the
state provides most of the revenues, local boards have much input in deciding how these funds can best be used to
meet the needs of the community.

BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process is conducted to comply with all charter mandates.
The City Charter mandates the following:
On or before the second Monday of May each year, the City Manager shall prepare and submit to the Council a
budget presenting a financial plan for conducting the affairs of the City for the ensuing fiscal year. The total of
proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of anticipated income.
The budget shall include the following information:
● A detailed statement showing the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the
current year and last preceding fiscal year
● A detailed estimate of the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the ensuing
fiscal year with reasons for the increases and decreases recommended
● The value of supplies and materials on hand
● The amount of the debt of the City with a schedule of maturities of bond issues
● A statement showing the amount required for interest on the City debt and for paying off any bonds
maturing during the year and the amount required for the sinking fund
● An itemized statement of all anticipated income of the City with a comparative statement of the amounts
received by the City from each of the same or similar sources for the last preceding and current fiscal
years
● An estimate of the amount of money to be received from taxes
● Other information as the City Manager may think desirable or as may be required by the Council
The Council shall, on or before the second Monday in July in each year, adopt a budget for the succeeding fiscal
year. The Council shall, as far as possible, adhere to the budget so adopted in the making of appropriations.
The preparation of the budget begins with the establishment of goals and parameters through the City Manager's
office. In November, the City Manager’s Office distributes comprehensive budget instructions to department heads.
The City of Dover's method of budgeting has evolved from concepts of many budgeting methods. A line item form of
budget is used to account for expenses and revenues. In recent years, the City has incorporated concepts of
programmatic budgeting which focuses on programs performed. Programs are examined periodically for their
relevance and effectiveness, a concept which comes from zero-based budgeting philosophy.
In March of 2020, budget line items for both the current budget and proposed budget were reviewed with department
heads to determine if service levels were to be maintained, improved, or reduced. New projects for the Capital
Investment Plan were reviewed at this time as well. Revenues were projected as accurately as possible in order to
set priorities for proposed expenditures.
The Council will review the proposed budget in early June. June 8, 2020 has been set for the Electric Fund
Budg et Public Hearing. Public comments on the entire FY21 City Budget were also sought on this date. The budget
is made available on the City of Dover website at https://www.cityofdover.com/public-documents.
According to the ordinance, the proposed budget must go through two readings. After the budget’s adoption,
monthly financial reports are issued to monitor and control the budget during the fiscal year.

AMENDING THE BUDGET
There are two ways of amending any individual budget. Although the budget is presented as a line item budget,
department heads are permitted to change the breakdown within the materials and supplies and administrative
groups of accounts (52000, 53000) if the total budgeted for that department is not exceeded. Department heads are
not authorized to re-appropriate salary (51000) or capital items (54000).
Through budget ordinance, the City Manager has the authority to make interdepartmental transfers of up to five
percent if financial policies are adhered.
Any re-budgeting of available fund balances must have the approval of the City Council.
BUDGET PROCEDURES
Budgets are prepared for the General Fund, Governmental Capital Projects Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund,
Water Capital Projects Fund, Wastewater Capital Projects Fund, Electric Revenue Fund, Electric Capital Projects
Fund, Municipal Street Aid Fund, Housing Grant Funds, Workers Compensation Fund, Community Transportation
Improvement, Delaware Prevention Network (DPN) Grant, and Lodging Tax Fund (new in FY21).
The Governmental Capital Projects Fund is a section of the General Fund. This section is required by our financial
policy. The separate budget for this fund covers the planning and control of only capital items for the General
Fund. The W ater Capital Projects Fund, W astewater Capital Projects Fund, and Electric C apital Projects
Fund are sections of each utility enterprise. These sections are required by bond resolutions. Separate budgets
for these funds cover the planning and control of only capital items of the utilities.
Estimated ending budgetary balances provide the balancing amount for each budget. Acceptable budgetary balance
guidelines were established by Council. The General Fund should maintain a minimum reserve in the budget
balance of at least eight percent and no greater than twelve percent of the current year operating revenues for
the General Fund, excluding the carry forward balance. Water and Wastewater Funds should maintain a minimum
reserve in the budget balance of at least eight percent and no greater than 17 percent of the current year operating
revenues for each of the Water and Wastewater Funds, excluding the carry forward balance. Electric Revenue
Fund should maintain a minimum budget balance of at least twelve percent of the current year operating revenues
for the Electric Revenue Fund, excluding the carry forward balance.
The City follows the practice of encumbrance accounting for the Governmental Fund types. Encumbrances represent
commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. The encumbrances outstanding at year ends
are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. The commitments
will be honored during the subsequent year.
The City Council adopts the budget. The City Council also adopts revisions for major items throughout the year.
The City Charter requires the City to adhere to the budget appropriations as adopted by City Council. Department
managers may not amend the total department budget amounts. Budget ordinances give the City Council the
authority to revise budget appropriations. Budget ordinances give the City Manager the authority to transfer
amounts not exceeding five percent of the total departmental budget within departments and between departments
within funds. This is the legal level of budgetary control. If expenditures exceed appropriations by less than five
percent of the total department budget, no formal Council approval procedure is required by the City budget
ordinance. However, the City Council reviews all departmental budget activity on a regular basis and must approve
all over expenditures of appropriations or transfer of appropriated amounts. All unencumbered appropriations
lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

Page 38
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS PLAN AND BUDGET
The Capital Investments Plan is a five-year plan for the purchase of property, equipment, and public improvements
that are of a permanent nature. The City proposes a five-year Capital Investments Plan annually. The capital
investments budget is a one-year appropriation of expenditures from the Capital Investments Plan and is normally
funded from bond proceeds, grants, and operating funds. Capital expenditures are those which are not a current
expense and have a period of usefulness of at least five years. Such items include projects requiring debt
obligation, acquisitions or lease of land, purchase of major equipment or vehicles, construction of buildings or
facilities, and major improvements.
CRITERIA
Capital outlays are major projects undertaken by the City that generally fit within one or more of the following
categories:
All projects requiring debt obligation or borrowing
Any acquisition or lease of land
Purchase of major equipment and vehicles ordered in excess of $25,000 with a life expectancy of five years or more
Construction of new buildings or facilities including engineering, design, and other pre-construction costs with an
estimated cost in excess of $25,000
Major building improvements that are not routine expenses and that substantially enhance the value of a structure
Major equipment or furnishings required to furnish new buildings or other projects
Major projects that are generally not recurring on a "year in, year out" basis
Projects costing more than $1,000 but less than $25,000 are included with the operating budget (minor capital).
All vehicles requested for replacement were inspected by Fleet Maintenance staff. Each vehicle’s brake system,
fuel system, suspension, steering mechanism, coupling devices, and operating systems were checked for condition
and rated good, fair, or poor. Repair estimates were also included if any of the vehicle systems required maintenance.
Any vehicles with a rating of good or fair were not replaced.

Page 39
BUDGET POLICY GUIDELINES
The City of Dover follows numerous policy guidelines when preparing the budget. The most significant guidelines
follow:
The budget should be balanced with current revenues being equal to or greater than current
expenditures/expenses. The following approaches are employed to balance the budget in order of priority: improve
productivity, create new service fees, raise existing service fees based on the cost of services, eliminate programs,
increase property taxes, and lastly, reduce or eliminate services.
The tax rate should be competitive with nearby cities and cities of comparable size. The rate should produce
revenue adequate to pay for approved City services. Qualified senior citizens receive a $50,000 exemption from
assessed value.
The General Fund shall realize returns from the Enterprise Funds. The returns should not sacrifice improvements to
the utilities. The budget includes transfers of $10,000,000 from the Electric Fund and $500,000 each from the
Wastewater and Water Funds for a total transfer from the Utility Funds to the General Fund of $11,000,000. This
makes up a combined 23.5% of the General Fund revenues.
Contingency Funds shall be maintained in the General, Wastewater, Water, and Electric Funds. These
contingencies should be adequate to handle unexpected expenditures/expenses. The General, Wastewater,
and Water Funds should maintain an amount equal to at least two percent of the current year operating revenues.
The Electric Revenue Fund should maintain an amount equal to at least one percent of the current year operating
revenues. The City may only use monies in the contingency funds in times of unforeseen emergency expenditures.
Investments made by the City will address safety, liquidity, and yield. Interest earned from investment of available
funds will be distributed to funds according to ownership of the invested funds. The City’s investment policy
authorizes investment of City funds in U.S. Government Securities, fully insured or fully collateralized Certificates of
Deposit with federally insured institutions, the State investment pool, and Repurchase Agreements.
Utility rates are reviewed annually to ensure that they will generate revenues adequate to cover operating expenses,
meet the legal requirements of bond covenants, and allow adequate capital replacement.
EXPLANATION OF FUNDS
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to
governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
● Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized based on funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self- balancing accounts
that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be
spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped into eight generic
fund types and four broad fund categories as follows:
The City reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Electric Revenue Fund: This fund incorporates all transactions related to the generation transmission and distribution
of electricity. The Energy Authority (TEA) is contracted to manage the City’s power procurement, and North
American Energy Services (NAES) is contracted to operate and maintain Dover’s electric generators at the McKee
power plant and the Van Sant unit.
25
Page 40
Wastewater Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to wastewater services, including the payment of fees
to Kent County for the treatment of sewage.
Water Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to water services. The City also holds lease agreements with
cell phone companies for equipment placed on City water towers.
The City reports the following non-major funds:
Internal Service Fund: The City has created one internal service fund to account for the activities related to self-
insured Workers Compensation. Receipts are providing from contributions by the City’s three major funds. Expenses
are related to payment of claims, premiums, and administration costs. Actuarial analyses are completed triennially to
insure enough reserves for claims for the Workers Compensation Fund.
Special Revenue Funds: These funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditure for specified purposes.
Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds consist of trust and agency funds and are used to report assets held by the City in
a trustee or agency capacity for others. These funds are, therefore, not available to support City programs.
The City is the trustee for the City’s two pension plans, the Police Pension Fund and the Employee Pension Fund.
Agency funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for individuals, private organizations, or
other governments. The City has six agency funds: Dover Parking Authority, Library Consortium, Dover Arts
Council, Downtown Dover Development Corporation, Main Street Dover, Inc., Dover Days, and Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
The City allocates the costs of certain governmental services to the costs of business-type activities (indirect
expense allocation). These costs include allocated amounts of City management, centralized budgetary formulation
and oversight, accounting financial reporting, information technology, payroll, procurement, contracting and oversight,
investing and cash management, personnel services, etc. The allocations are charged to the business-type activities
based on the use of these services. As a matter of policy, the costs of certain governmental functions are not allocated
to the business-type activities such as public safety, library, recreation, permitting, inspections, streets, sanitation,
community, and economic development.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless
of the measurement focus applied.
All Governmental Funds, Expendable Trusts, and Agency Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis
of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets.
Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and billable service charges. All other revenues
are accounted for when they are received.
Property taxes are recognized in the fiscal period for which they are levied provided they are “available’ – i.e., they
are collected in the current period or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenues reported in the government funds to be available if the
revenues are collected with 60 days after year-end, except for trash collection, which has a 30-day collection period.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund
liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
recognized when due. Also, claims and judgments and compensated absences are recognized as expenditures to
the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental
funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
26
Page 41
The government-wide financial statements as well as all proprietary and fiduciary trust funds are accounted for
using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus. Their revenues are
recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The City prepares the budget for Governmental Fund types in which the expenditures are estimated based on
liabilities for goods and services to be incurred during the fiscal year. Revenues for the General Fund are budgeted
on a cash basis except for property taxes and billable services, which are on a modified accrual basis. Under the
cash basis of budgeting transactions are recognized only when cash is received. Under modified accrual basis
revenues are recorded when they are earned (whether cash is received at the time). The expenditures are accounted
for when the purchase orders are issued. Encumbrances are established when purchase orders are issued and
accounted for as a designation of fund balance at year-end. The budget is amended in the subsequent year for
the outstanding encumbrances of the prior year.
Budgets for the Electric Revenue Fund, Water/Wastewater Fund, and Internal Service Fund are prepared on an
accrual basis. Revenues are recorded when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when goods and
services are received whether cash disbursements are made at the time or not. Budgets are prepared under the
assumption that the principal redemption of long-term debt must be assumed by Enterprise Fund activity in conformity
with the bond ordinance.
The budget is presented in this document in the legal budget format (non-GAAP) adopted by the City. Under this
method: Capital outlays are considered expenditures; grants are considered as revenues and not contributions to
capital; depreciation is not budgeted; debt service proceeds are considered to be revenues, not an increase in
liabilities; debt payments are shown as expenditures rather than reductions of liabilities; proceeds from the sale of
assets are considered revenue, however, the gain or loss is not.

CITY OF DOVER
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Amended June 24, 2019

Page 44
CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE
FINANCIAL POLICIES
The purpose of these policies is to present a standardized set of principles that the City follows in
managing its financial and budgetary affairs. These are general statements of policies, which
represent long-standing principles, traditions, and practices that will be used to guide the City in
maintaining financial stability. It will be the responsibility of the Finance Department to ensure the
financial objectives of these policies are maintained.
Revenue Policy
1. The City will strive to maintain a broad and diversified revenue base that will equitably
distribute the burden of supporting City services and will protect the City from short-term
fluctuations in any one revenue source.
2. The City will actively support economic and industrial development recruitment and
retention efforts to provide for a solid revenue base.
3. The City will maintain timely collection systems and implement necessary enforcement
strategies to collect revenues from available sources.
4. The City will establish user fees and charges for services, when feasible, at levels related to
the cost of providing the services. The City will review the fees and charges every three to
five years to determine modifications needed to keep pace with the cost of providing the
services. Property Tax Rates are set annually
5. The City will establish, when feasible, self-supporting enterprise funds and intergovernmental
service funds in which a relationship between revenues and expenditures clearly exists.
6. The City will project current revenues on a conservative basis so the actual revenues will
consistently meet or exceed budgeted revenues. Revenues greater or less than the original
budget will flow through to the audited Ending Budget Balance.
7. The City will maintain a budgetary control system and will prepare reports, which compare
actual revenues to budgeted amounts.
8. The City will limit the designation of General Fund revenues for specified purposes to
maximize flexibility in budgeting and revenue utilization.
9. The City will review annually and revise, where necessary, its cost allocation formulas, i.e.
internal service departments.
10. Upon satisfying all rate covenants the City will provide operating transfers to the General
Fund. From the Water/Wastewater Utility no greater than $1,000,000 and from the Electric
Utility no greater than $10,000,000.
30
Page 45
Expenditure Policy
1. Basic and essential services provided by the City will receive priority for funding, i.e. Public
Safety & Health, Utilities, Streets, & Sanitation.
2. A report of the expenses of the Public Safety categories that have been identified will be
presented to City Council two (2) times; once upon delivery of the proposed budget in May
and the other upon the adoption of the budget in July. The report will map the revenues that
have been identified to support the expenses, how much of a gap there is, and what the trend is
for closing the gap over a 20-year period. The revenues will be the direct revenues of those
programs and the Property Tax Revenue, excluding BID taxes.
3. The City will adopt a balanced budget, by fund, for all funds maintained by the City, in which
total anticipated revenues must equal or exceed the budgeted expenditures, less capital
transfers, for each fund. The Beginning Budget Balance will not be considered a revenue
source.
4. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the original adopted
budget and will prepare reports, which compare actual expenditures to budgeted amounts.
Expenditures greater or less than the original adopted budget will flow through the audited
Ending Budget Balance.
5. The City will restrict the use of appropriations as follows:
Funds appropriated for personnel expenses shall be restricted to use as personnel
expenses. Any personnel savings at the end of each fiscal year will be re-appropriated in
the next fiscal year to be transferred to the City’s capital funds or unfunded retirement
liabilities as approved by City Council;
Funds appropriated as capital expenses shall be restricted to use as capital expenses;
Funds appropriated as operating expenses shall be restricted to use as operating
expenses;
All requests for additional personnel shall be accompanied with a five-year estimate on
the costs of such position(s), including salaries and other employment costs (OEC’s);
6. The City will refrain from budgeting revenues derived from infrequent and unanticipated
transactions for ongoing expenses. These revenues will be set aside for asset replacement or
as otherwise directed by Council.
7. The City will provide access to medical, dental, vision, life, AD & D, and short-term disability
insurance for its employees. The cost for these benefits will be a shared responsibility
between the City and its employees as outlined in the City Personnel Handbook or collective
bargaining agreements

make contributions for eligible employees at the actuarial determined percentage defined for
each of the respective retirement plans.
10. The City will establish an Other Post-Employment Benefit Fund (OPEB). The City will make
contributions for eligible employees and retirees at the actuarial determined rates or
percentages to fund future retiree medical benefits.
Debt Policy
1. The City will maintain a debt management policy and full disclosure on financial reports.
2. The City will maintain communications with bond rating agencies and continue to strive for
improvements in the City’s bond rating.
3. The City will adhere to its debt covenants.
4. The City will review its debt capacity every three (3) years.
5. The City will pay for all capital projects and capital improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis
using current revenues if possible. If a project or improvement cannot be financed with current
revenues, long-term debt or use of reserves will be recommended.
6. The City will refrain from issuing long-term debt for a period in excess of the expected useful
life of the capital project.
7. The City will use special assessment revenue or other self-supporting bonds instead of general
obligation bonds, when practical.
8. The City will seek refinancing of outstanding debt if it is determined that the City will benefit
by reduced interest expense over the remaining life of the bonds.
Budget Balance/Reserve Policy – General Fund
1. The City will strive to maintain a minimum Budget Balance, of at least 8% and no greater than
12% of the current year operating revenues for the General Fund, excluding the carry forward
balance. The purpose of the budget balance is to meet temporary fluctuations in cash flows and
to provide a cushion for loss of revenues until operating changes can be implemented. If the
final Budget Balance exceeds the amount as approved in the budget ordinance, such funds shall
be used to provide for capital purchases, unfunded retirement liabilities, or as otherwise
designated by City Council. The City may use monies in the Budget Balance only in times of
fiscal and economic hardship.
2. Once achieved, at no time should the City’s budget balances fall below their specified
percentages. If a shortfall occurs in the budget balance and immediately restoring the balances
to the specified percentage would cause an extreme burden on the taxpayers, the budget balance
may, with the City Council’s approval, be restored to the specified percentage within one (1)
year, but in any case, no longer than three (3) years.
32
Page 47
3. The City will maintain a minimum reserve, in a contingency account, of at least $700,000. The
City may only use monies in the contingency accounts to cover emergencies of a non-recurring
nature that are over and above the normal course of operations. Examples are uninsured losses,
storms or hurricane damages. The Contingency Reserve will not be used to balance the
operating budget.
4. The total of the General Fund budget and contingency balances shall not exceed 17% (~ 2
months) of Budgeted Operating Revenues.
5. The City will create a Capital Asset Replacement account for Governmental Fund asset
procurements. Optimally, the amount set aside for future asset replacements should equal the
annual depreciation of the current assets. (Annual Depreciation is approximately $3.5 million
per year). The City will appropriate excess (amounts greater than budgeted) revenues to fund
this account, or if the balance is less than the $500,000 minimum, $200,000 per annum until
such time the minimum balance is replenished.
6. The City will create a General Capital Project Fund to account for all General Government asset
procurements and projects. The City will provide operating fund transfers and/or debt proceeds
for each fiscal year’s Capital Investment Plan. All vehicle and equipment purchases under
$25,000 will be budgeted on a pay as you go basis.

1. The City will strive to maintain a minimum Budget Balance, of at least 8% and no greater than
17% (two months) of the current year operating revenues for Wastewater Utility Funds,
excluding the carry forward balance. The purpose of the budget balance is to meet temporary
fluctuations in cash flows and to provide a cushion for loss of revenues until operating changes
can be implemented. If the final Budget Balance exceeds the amount as approved in the budget
ordinance, such funds shall be used to provide for capital purchases, unfunded retirement
liabilities, or as otherwise designated by City Council. The City may use monies in the Budget
Balance only in times of fiscal and economic hardship.
2. Once achieved, at no time should the City’s budget balances fall below their specified
percentages. If a shortfall occurs in the budget balance and immediately restoring the balances

may, with the City Council’s approval, be restored to the specified percentage within one (1)
year, but in any case, no longer than three (3) years.
3. The City will maintain a minimum reserve, in a contingency account, of at least $250,000 for
the Wastewater Fund. The City may only use monies in the contingency accounts to cover

not be used to balance the operating budget.
4. The total of the Wastewater Fund budget and contingency balances shall not exceed 25% (3
months) of Budgeted Operating Revenues.

Policies.
Budget Balance/Reserve Policy – Electric Revenue Fund
1. The City will strive to maintain a minimum Budget Balance, of at least 12% (45 days) of the
current year operating revenues for the Electric Revenue Fund, excluding the carry forward
balance and power cost adjustments. The purpose of the budget balance is to meet temporary
fluctuations in cash flows and to provide a cushion for loss of revenues until operating changes
can be implemented. If the final Budget Balance exceeds the amount as approved in the budget
ordinance, such funds shall be used to provide for capital purchases, unfunded retirement
liabilities, or as otherwise designated by City Council. The City may use monies in the Budget
Balance only in times of fiscal and economic hardship.
2. Once achieved, at no time should the City’s budget balances fall below their specified
percentages. If a shortfall occurs in the budget balance and immediately restoring the balances

35
Page 50
5. The City has established by bond covenant an account to cover insurance deductibles on the
electric transmission and distribution system or the generating plants. The City shall maintain a
minimum balance of $750,000 to cover various deductibles.
6. Recognizing price fluctuations in the wholesale power markets the City has established a rate
stabilization reserve. The purpose of using such a reserve is to level off the fluctuations in the
wholesale power supply market and in turn provide stable rates to our customers. In those
instances where the actual cost of power supply and generation are less/more than the budgeted
cost of power supply and generation, the City will transfer the difference to/from the Rate
Stabilization Reserve. The balance shall be maintained at a minimum of 10% not to exceed
20% of the purchase power cost in any given year. If the reserve balance exceeds the 20%
maximum, a credit will be applied to the power cost adjustment over the next three (3) fiscal
years.
7. The Electric Improvement & Extension Fund budget balance shall be no less than $200,000 of
the current fiscal year’s appropriation for electric system projects to allow for project variances
and change orders; a 10% contingency shall be included in project budgets greater than
$250,000 if the Department Head determines it to be appropriate. All vehicle and equipment
purchases under $25,000 will be budgeted on a pay as you go basis. The City Manager shall
make the necessary budget amendments in accordance with the City of Dover Purchasing &
Budget Amendment Policies.
8. The City has established an account to provide for capital financing of Future Capacity or
system expansion. The City shall maintain a balance equivalent to the value of 10% growth in
capacity at any given time, or no less than $10,000,000. Amounts used to finance projects shall
be replenished by the operating revenues of the Electric Revenue Fund over the succeeding
seven years of any project completion.
9. The City has established an account to provide for replacement or procurement of utility system
assets, otherwise known as Depreciation Reserve. Optimally, the amount set aside for future
asset replacements should equal the annual depreciation of the current assets. The City will
maintain a minimum balance of $10,000,000. The primary purpose of this account is to provide
partial or all financing of major capital projects and minimize debt service payments. The
account is also intended to cover unforeseen capital replacements due to equipment breakdowns,
storms or hurricane damages. Amounts used to finance projects shall be replenished by the
operating revenues of the Electric Revenue Fund over the succeeding seven (7) years of any
project completion
10. The total of the combined Electric Revenue and Electric Improvement & Extension Fund budget
and reserve balances shall be benchmarked at 50% Budgeted Operating Revenues. Operating
Fund Budget Balance and Reserves shall be adjusted to appropriate levels through adjustments
in the operating budget. Improvement & Extension Fund Budget Balance and Reserves shall be
adjusted in accordance with the Capital Improvement Plan.

The Vision
The City of Dover is a place where people
want to live! Through the team effort of its
elected officials, employees, and citizens,
Dover is a clean and safe community, with a
future of balanced growth and opportunity
where all citizens are heard, enjoy a high
quality of life, and diversity is valued.

Page 60
The Vision
…Dover is a clean and safe community,
…enjoy a high quality of life…
This budget document reflects a spending plan for FY21, that
maintains the gains for critical service levels from last year and
starts a path towards enhanced maintenance of our
infrastructure to support the City’s taxpayers and citizens
beyond FY21.
• This budget maintains staffing added last year for maintenance of
basic public works such as ditch maintenance, streets, stormwater
culverts, catch basins, vegetation/tree maintenance, building
inspections and code enforcement.
• This budget anticipates holding the gains in personnel from last year,
but due to stagnant revenues, no additional full-time personnel are
recommended.
• This budget continues with long range plans to address our aging
facilities, park improvements, and to upgrade HVAC systems in City
facilities.
• The budget does not include a self-funding Stormwater Utility. The
City will still have to address stormwater infrastructure maintenance
and operational requirements as required by Federal and State
regulations, but any additional fees will require discussion during
FY21 for implementation in late FY21 or in FY22.

The Vision
…Dover is a clean and safe community,
…enjoy a high quality of life…
This budget document reflects a spending plan for
FY21, …to support the City’s taxpayers and citizens
beyond FY21.
• This budget reflects an increased focus on new and
upgraded technology for better customer service and
greater efficiency.
• iPlan tables, ARC-GIS upgrades and Electric grid inclusion, radio
equipment upgrade, switch to laptop/remote work options, etc.
• This budget implements rate increases in water and
wastewater (a.k.a. sewer) for needed improvements to
infrastructure as well as establishing a prudent reserve in
the wastewater fund over time.
• This budget offsets the increase in water and wastewater
fees with an increase in the PCA credit for electric rates.
• This budget reflects the uncertainty of the General Fund
revenues by:
• Reducing the transfer to the Capital fund from $3.26 million FY20 to a
recommendation of $2.08 million in FY21;
• Cutting GF CIP from $6.57 million in FY21 requested CIP to $4.87 million
recommended;
• Budgeting only 2% raises for Non-bargaining employees; 0% increase in
Health Care.

Policy Compliance
• Revenue Policy
• #6 – The City will project current revenues on a conservative basis so the
actual revenues will consistently meet or exceed budgeted revenues.
Revenues greater or less than the original budget will flow through to the
audited Ending Budget Balance.
• Last year’s General Fund revenues did not meet budgeted revenues at least
in part due to loss of Recreation Revenues, Transfer Tax Revenues and Police
Extra Duty Revenues. Permits and other fees were also down substantially.
• Expenditure Policy
• #3 –The City will adopt a balanced budget, by fund, for all funds
maintained by the City, in which total anticipated revenues must equal or
exceed the budgeted expenditures, less capital transfers, for each fund.
• Due to tight revenues and increasing expenditures, the General Fund
budgeted anticipated budget balance under the maximum amount allowed.
• Budget Balance Policy – General Fund
• #1 – The City will strive to maintain a minimum Budget Balance, of at least
8% and no greater than 12% of the current year operating revenues for the
General Fund, excluding the carry forward balance. (8.33% = 1 month, 12%
= 45 days)
• Budget Balance Policy – Water Fund
• #1 – The City will strive to maintain a minimum Budget Balance, of at least
8% and no greater than 17% of the current year operating revenues for the
Water Fund, excluding the carry forward balance. (17% = 2 months)
• Budget Balance Policy – Wastewater Fund
• #1 – The City will strive to maintain a minimum Budget Balance, of at least
8% and no greater than 17% of the current year operating revenues for the
Wastewater Fund, excluding the carry forward balance. (17% = 2 months)

Total Project Cost: $782,000
Description
- Replace cedar shingles…………$70,000
- Replace rain gutters…………$5,000
- Replace/repaint all exterior trim as needed…………$2,000
- Replace exit signs in City Hall…………$5,000
- Replace all HVAC components to include;duct work, air handlers, controls, chillers, heat pumps, boilers/furnace, etc…………$700,000
Justification
- The first story cedar shingles are extreemly aged and deteriorated to include material detaching from the roof.
- Gutters are deteriorated and showing signs of age. This should take place at the same time as shingle replacement.
- There is trim work that needs to be repainted due to fading and some wood is deteriorated due to weathering.
- It is required that all exit signs be illuminated and most are a glow style that have been determined to be hazardous. The old signs will have to be
abated and new signs must be installed.
- The HVAC system is extreemly outdated and non-efficient. Every year we have spent thousands of dollars to keep this system running and we
are unable to operate it on an energy efficiency level due to the age of the system.

Project # IT1801
Useful Life 10 years
Project Name Network Infrastructure Category Information Technology
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $95,700
Description
The City's network infrastructure (switches and routers) were installed as part of the telephone upgrade in 2006. It consists of approximately 18
switches, 6 routers. All of this equipment is at or nearing Cisco's End of Support/End of Life requiring a phased replacement plan. FY21 funding
reduced to absorb lease payments of iSeries AS400; however, funding restored in FY22 for infrastructure expenses.
Justification
Vital network switching and routing equipment allow for communication between servers, computers, printers, telephones, etc.. A loss of any one
piece of equipment will prevent up to 48 devices to stop communicating. With no support for the current equipment, it could be an extended
outage while completing an unplanned purchase. This plan is critical to maintaining the level of communication and support expected by all users.
It calls for a 20% replacement schedule across 5 years until all equipment is replaced and supported.

Useful Life 3 - 5 Years
Project Name Server Lifecycle Category Information Technology
Priority 3
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $109,600
Description
As with the computer lifecycle, the servers are on a lifecycle and require planned replacements. When a server is up for replacement, it is evaluated
for continued use beyond the lifecycle timeframe. As long as it's viable and service can be extended, its service life will be extended. This plan
includes the replacement of DOVERDC1 and the SQL server in FY9, two HyperV servers in FY20, and the Storage Area Network (SAN) in
FY21. 4/22/2020 - Adjusted amount to include the lease payments for the new iSeries AS400. Added FY22 projected budget. FY22 will need to
replace DOVERDC3 and continue lease payments on the iSeries AS400.
Justification
Due to the City's growing need and dependency on data, servers and storage requirements iincrease. The increased demands on equipment and
storage makes it necessary to replace aging equipment. Obtaining extended warranties may be used when possible, but it can be more cost effective
to replace with newer technology. Servers and associated equipment listed in this plan are to ensure continued 99.999% availability.

Justification
There are a number of amenities in the City’s park that deteriorate over time and require small capital investments to be safe and attractive. As our
park investments age, we need to make sure that we are maintaining the properties, which may require small capital projects.

Project Name Police Station Chiller Replacement Category General
Priority 4
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $179,000
Description
The Police Station building was updated/expanded around 1996, so the building’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) components
are already over 20 years old. The chiller, cooling tower and condenser & chilled water pumps are key components of this system and work
together to provide cool air for air-conditioning in the summer. The Chiller is the component that removes the heat from the building. A piped
water loop runs through the building, picking up heat along the way, which is circulated though the chiller to be cooled—in a continuous loop
called the chilled water loop. The heat removed by the chiller is rejected to the outside through a different piped water loop (called the condenser
loop). This condenser water loop runs through the cooling tower, which uses evaporative cooling to cool this piped water and the chilled water
pumps circulate it back to the chiller in a continuous loop. All are critical because providing air conditioning in the building is not possible
without these two components working together properly. This equipment is nearing the end of its life cycle and many of the controllers on the
chiller have already failed and had to be replaced. The chiller controllers regulate the temperatures in the HVAC system and provide
communication between the chiller unit and the computer program that controls the whole system.
The cost of this equipment was estimated by Service Unlimited, our HVAC maintenance service provider. In addition, Service Unlimited also
recommended that both components be replaced at the same time because they work jointly together to provide for air-conditioning in the building
during the warmer months. However, they are being requested separately in different years, due to the costs involved.
Justification
1.Air conditioning cannot be provided without this equipment functioning properly.
2.Planning ahead and scheduling the replacement of this equipment would cost less that having to replace it in an emergency situation.

Useful Life 25 - 30 years
Project Name Police Station 1st Floor Tile Replacement Category General
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $42,600
Description
This project is related to project PD2001 and continues the floor tile replacement project to include the first floor of the Police Station in FY21.
The floor tiles in the Police Station are now over 20 years old in many areas of the building. Although the tile on first floor of the station is not in
as bad condition as the second floor, it is also starting to buckle up in a few areas. Paul Edwards, one of the most experienced and reliable flooring
vendors in the local area, came in and reviewed the area affected and confirmed that the cause of the problem is a combination of the age of the tile
and the presence of too much moisture under the tiles. The tile on the floor is VCT type of tile and is wearing badly around the edges, so moisture
from cleaning, stripping and waxing the tiles penetrated between them over the years and caused the buckling. Although many more tiles have
been replaced on the first floor, as compared to the second floor over the years since it was initially installed in 1996, the newer tiles aren’t
buckling as badly, but over time they will also fail. As a result, we are proposing to replace the first floor tile flooring currently installed in all the
hallway and common areas of the first floor, except for the bathrooms and the roll call area.
The cost estimate provided by Paul Edwards includes the removal and replacement of the existing 12" x 12" tile with a newer type prefinished 18"
x 18" tile that would not need to be waxed or stripped periodically. In addition the removal and replacement of the cove base is also included.
Justification
1.The tile flooring on the second floor is currently a tripping hazard for all employees.
2.Replacement of the tile would eliminate the possibility of any employee accidents and any associated workman’s comp claims.
3.The area does not present a clean professional image for the station.

Project Name PD Computer Wiring Upgrade Category General
Priority 4
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $175,400
Description
The current Cat 5 wiring infrastructure within the Dover Police station is becoming obsolete and starting to fail. This is the wiring in the building
that supports the connectivity for all data from computers and voice instruments in the building with all external computer systems controlled by
the state and the city of Dover. If the wiring is not upgraded and replaced, at some point in time, all police communications systems are in
jeopardy.
Everyone knows that technology is always changing and increasing. In the past, the technology demands came from implementing computer
systems and workstations. As technology became faster, the programming required to run it required more data and faster connections to process it
all. Technology continued to evolve and voice communications became part of the demand when VoIP systems were implemented. All the
increases drive the need to process more data, so to prevent the increasing bulk of data from slowing down the networks, the connectivity has to
keep up.
This is what is happening to the voice and data infrastructure in the police station. The Cat 5 cabling installed in the building during the building
remodel in 1996 is starting to fail because it cannot meet the data and speed capacity needs of our current technology. To keep our building
network running efficiently now and to help future proof our building for the next 20 years, we need to upgrade the cabling to at least Cat cabling 6
now throughout the station in every room where computer and voice communications equipment is installed.
In addition, The Police Station has as a series of communications wiring boxes on each floor of the station that control the connectivity of
technology equipment for both normal operations and emergency operations powered by the emergency generator. These wiring closets will also
need to be upgraded/replaced, labeled and tested with the new Cat 6 cables.
The attached proposal from Under/Comm, outlines the labor and materials that are needed to upgrade and replace the existing voice/data
infrastructure in the building. Since Under/Comm is a state contract vendor, this project will not have to be bid out.
Justification
1. The voice/data wiring infrastructure within the Police Station is insufficient to keep up with increasing demands of technology and needs to be
upgraded and replaced.
2.If this upgrade is not funded, all police communications are at risk. As technology continues to advance, our current infrastructure will continue
to slow down and eventually fail when the minimum data and speed requirements cannot be met.

Project Name PD Communications Center Workspace Category General
Priority 3
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $103,400
Description
The current dispatch workstations are about 14 years old (the workstations before these were replaced after 9 years). The current workstations used
to have electronic controls to adjust to each dispatcher’s ergonomic needs, but the electronic controls are broken and not repairable, so they are
have been frozen in positions that are not ergonomically correct for many years already. The current workstations are antiquated and do not
accommodate the communications center’s increasing needs. Earlier this year, the 800 MHz radio system was upgraded and the workstations
cannot accommodate the larger size monitors. In addition, we are currently upgrading the department alarm panel. The alarm system is mandated
by Federal law for physical security of the building which includes the safety of the officers and prisoners in the cell block and other areas. The
alarm panel is currently located on the back wall of the center and is being replaced with workstation monitors. Unfortunately, there is not enough
space to mount these monitors on the current workstations or set them near the workstations due to space limitations.
The city has over 100 cameras within the city limits and these cameras are monitored in the communications center via wall mounted televisions,
which are not in direct view of the dispatchers. The dispatchers have to stop what they are doing and get up from their workstations and view
cameras at another work station within the center when questions come up regarding activities at the camera locations. The new workstation
design is more energy efficient. They are equipped with an active cooling system which will prevent another CPU from catching on fire as has
happened in the past when the unit overheated. The new workstations are also wired for simplicity as the monitor arrays and energy chains have
easy-access infeeds and generous capacity. Power and video cables are encased in dedicated channels to ease troubleshooting and reduce signal
interference; all of which provides easy access for maintenance and cleaning of the insides of the workstations.
The proposed workstations would accommodate all the needs listed above and still have rack space for future needs. All monitors would be
mounted at each workstation and easily viewable by the dispatchers. The quote includes 6 workstations which increases the work stations from 5
to 6, to allow for future growth. The workstations are modular so they could easily be reconfigured should the dispatch center be moved.
The quote for the cost of the workstations is attached. If approved, the plan is to purchase the workstations from the vendor that provided the quote
as they are a state contract vendor. In addition the Kent County Communications Center used this same vendor for their last two workstation
upgrade purchases, and has been very satisfied with this vendor’s support and response to their requests for service needs.
Justification
1.The current workstations have aged beyond their useful life and do not allow for the addition of new monitors to the rack system for new systems
and requirements.
2.If not funded, the dispatchers will not be able to perform their duties efficiently or very comfortably since the workstations are not set up to meet
ergonomic standards. Dispatchers will have to leave their workstations more often to find information relating to the city cameras system and other
systems only because these systems cannot be added to their current workstations due to lack of space. This could also affect officer safety as
dispatchers may not be as readily available to respond in an emergency situation.

Project # ST2101
Useful Life 20-25 years
Project Name Street, Concrete and Alley Program Category General
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $5,832,000
Description
This project will rehabilitate approximately one to three percent (1-3%) of the street and alley network each year. The estimated capital
maintenance costs are $51 million over a 20-year planning horizon in FY 2017 dollars. This estimate is based on the needs survey conducted by
Public Works in FY 2017. Continuous maintenance on these assets will prevent costlier reconstruction in the future. This project combines the
former Street Resurfacing Program, the Alley Program and the Barrier Free Access Ramp Program. FY 2021 anticipated projects are as follows:
•Clara Street (Pear Street to Queen Street)
•East Water Street (River Road to New Castle Avenue)
•Mishoe Street (College Road to Raymond Street)
•Raymond Street (Mishoe Street to .04 miles west of Mishoe Street)
•Park Drive (E. Loockerman St to E. Division St)
•S. American Avenue (E. Division St to Kings Hwy)
•Turnberry Drive (Entire Road)
Justification
Replacement of deteriorated curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provides improved use, drainage, and the appearance of the pavement section. The
Street, Concrete and Alley Program schedule is driven by funding and road ratings. Total street mileage is growing as more roads and alleys are
dedicated for public maintenance due to growth. Additionally, this program promotes the interconnection of the sidewalk network to conform to
ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) and rehabilitates sidewalks that have root damage from City street trees. This program
also facilitates compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as it relates to the pedestrian network as well as improving localized drainage
issues.

Status Active
Total Project Cost: $440,000
Description
This project will provide for rehabilitation and repair of each deep wellhead in an effort to maintain operations and/or increase/maintain the yield of
each well as it relates to the permitted allocation. FY 2008; total well inspection and testing performed. FY 2009: Motors at Wells #6A and #9
were rebuilt, and wells #13R and #15 were redeveloped. FY 2010: Well #10. FY 2011: Well #4 redevelopment and well piping improvements at
various well locations, as well as continued well testing. FY 2012: Well #1 redevelopment. FY2013: complete repair of Well #10. FY2014:
complete repair of well #14. FY2015 inspected: 2, 3, 11, 13R, 15, PW2. FY 2016 inspected: 4, 6, 8R, 9 & PW8A. FY 2017 inspected: 1, 10, 4,
PW6A & 4B. FY 2018 inspected: 3. FY 2019 inspected: 12R, PW1A, 2, 11, 13R, 15. FY 2020 tentatively scheduled: 2, 5 & 6. FY 2021
tentatively scheduled: Well 8R, Well 9, Well 10 and PW6A.
Justification
The well screening and gravel pack requires cleaning over time due to a buildup of mineral deposits and foreign materials such as clay and silt.
This maintenance effort is critical to ensure that production can continue to meet demand. It is also necessary to maintain the operational aspects of
each well and provide repairs as needed to minimize downtime to maintain system capacity. Delaying or eliminating this project would result in
the continued deterioration of the well screen, gravel pack, and well yield over time. It would also result in increased well downtime, emergency
repairs, and decreased capacity. These issues can lead to increased flow pattern changes and water quality concerns.

Useful Life 20 years
Project Name Meter Replacement Project Category Water/Wastewater
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $1,256,100
Description
This project will be an ongoing project to replace our aged water meters in the system. A majority of the water meters have exceeded their life
expectancy of 15-20 years. The City will benefit from this project by having a more efficient system which will recover maximum revenue to the
water utility. Additionally, expenses of maintaining, stocking and operating the out dated meters are greatly reduced.
Justification
This project will provide the City of Dover with accurate readings of our water users, thus creating accurate revenue from the customers. Delaying
or eliminating this project would result in the age of the water meters increasing, and consequently the meters will not read the correct volume of
water being consumed. Additionally, older water meters typically require more maintenance.

Project Name Water Quality Improvements Category Water/Wastewater
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $11,050,600
Description
This project was first identified by staff and the 2006 Water Master Plan Update, and has since become further refined with the FY 2006 Water
Quality Evaluation. Projects to be included under this category primarily consist of replacement or relining of old unlined cast iron water main
within the City’s water distribution system; system upgrades to improve system control; and utilization of a consultant to provide additional design
and evaluation services, as needed. Recent research and data collection has produced a Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, based on several
criteria to identify water mains that are in need of replacement or relining. Pipes will be upgraded according to the severity of the pipe condition,
as well as coordination with the City of Dover’s Public Services Street Rehabilitation Program. Between FY 2008 and FY 2010, the deep well
contact chambers were designed and installed. Between FY 2008 and FY 2011 the water mains that were replaced include, Washington Street,
Pennsylvania Avenue, South Street, Pear Street, West Street, Hazel Road, Maryland Avenue, American Avenue, Bayard Avenue, Greenhill
Avenue, Bayard Avenue Alley and Loockerman Street. Operational efforts, such as flushing, will continue to occur on a routine basis. FY 2012
improvements include, N. Pennsylvania Ave., American Ave. Ext., Madison St., Rodney Rd., New Street, Ross Street and Bradford Street (near
Wesley College). FY 2013 improvements included North Street. As part of the Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, water lines were
identified throughout the City that requires replacement/relining. FY 2017 improvement include: New Street (Water St. to Loockerman). FY
2018 improvements included: Bradford Street (Loockerman St. to Division St.) and William Street (Pear St. to State St.). FY 2019 improvements
included: Lakewood Place. FY 2020 improvements scheduled: Columbia Avenue. FY 2021 anticipate locations:
•N. West Street West Alley (William Street to Walker Road) - $680,400
•Ross Street (Pear Street to .03 mi east of Carol Steet) - $300,100
Justification
Water quality complaints have eroded consumer confidence in the City’s water supply as the water is perceived to be aesthetically unpleasant. In
order to reduce complaints and potentially alleviate this problem, it is necessary to implement the improvements identified by staff, the 2006 Water
Master Plan Update, and the FY 2006 Water Quality Evaluation. Delaying or eliminating this project will prolong customer dissatisfaction and
further erode confidence in the City’s water supply. In addition, main rehabilitation and replacement, ensuring pipes do not significantly exceed
the expected life cycle, is critical to provide a reliable supply of water for our customers and for fire suppression. Water leaks and breaks on older
lines can have a significant impact on our ability to serve over time. Addressing the brown water and associated water quality concerns of the
City’s water system will not only require capital improvements to the system but also operational changes. Some operation changes will result in
no net effect on the operating budget, while others will need to be addressed in the development of future operating budgets. Such items include
tools and supplies necessary to improve system sampling and monitoring as well as tools and supplies necessary to improve system-wide flushing
operations.

Description
Planning table allow for viewing electronic plans at 24" x 36" scale or better. Since we already have Energov as part of our package from Tyler
Technologies we would want to use the same company for eReviews. This table and software package can annotate existing plans, create new plans
or review documents, spreadsheets and more, our drafting stations can help you get the job done quickly and efficiently. This multi-functional tool
allows you to:
•Work in AutoCAD and other commonly used industry programs
•Email plans and documents directly from the drafting table
•Gain a 3D, interactive perspective of your plans
•Easily move your plans and data from room to room
•Work solo or in groups by adjusting the height or adding tilt—all at the touch of a button
Justification
The tables will allow faster review, lower costs, and greater ability to allow multiple to review a set of plans for internal projects or building and
site plan review.

Project # WW2101
Useful Life 50-80
Project Name Inflow/Infiltration Removal Category Water/Wastewater
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $9,759,000
Description
This project identifies and corrects areas in the sanitary sewer collection system that are deteriorating and allowing groundwater to enter the
sanitary sewer system through cracked pipes and/or joints. Video investigations of the lines are performed by in-house crews to determine the
condition of subject pipes which may also help with the identification of sump pumps and other illicit connections to the system which will have to
be removed by individual property owners. Investigations are occurring systematically through the sewer basins to establish projects for the
following year. Sanitary sewer lines are also being inspected in conjunction with water quality improvement project areas to determine main
condition. The wet weather which was experienced in both 2003 and 2009/2010/2011, exemplified the fact that the aging and deteriorating
sanitary sewer system allows groundwater and rain water to enter the system. This in turn results in higher treatment charges from Kent County.
In FY 2011 a new groundwater inflow adjustment charge was established as a result. It is critical to continue making improvements on a regular
and planned basis to improve the integrity of the wastewater system. Weather occurs in a cyclical fashion and discrepancies between fees collected
and charges received will likely happen again when groundwater and precipitation levels rise. This project would start with an inventory and rating
and smoke testing of the approximately 71 miles of sanitary sewer main in FY 2021. Rehabilitation will occur beginning in FY 2023. The intent
of this project is to rehabilitate the infrastructure with the worst ratings.
Justification
The wet weather experienced in both 2003 and 2009/2010/2011, highlighted the fact that we have an aging wastewater system that requires more
attention to the condition of the old pipe network and more monitoring of illicit connections to the system. Inflow and infiltration are problems that
all customers pay for since they are costs that are not assigned to an individual customer. Therefore, all customers are affected by expenses related
to inflow and infiltration. Delaying or eliminating this project will result in continued higher treatment charges for wastewater flow to Kent County
than is necessary. In addition, the reduction in available capacity in the City and County systems due to inflow and infiltration will reduce the
capacity available for future growth.

Useful Life 20 years
Project Name Meter Replacement Project Category Water/Wastewater
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $1,256,100
Description
This project will be an ongoing project to replace our aged water meters in the system. A portion of water meters will be replaced each year. A
majority of the water meters have exceeded their life expectancy of 15-20 years. The industry standard is to replace 20% of the meter inventory for
five years. The City will benefit from this project by having a more efficient system which will recover maximum revenue to the water utility.
Additionally, expenses of maintaining, stocking and operating the out dated meters are greatly reduced.
Justification
This project will provide the City of Dover with accurate readings of our water users, thus creating accurate revenue from the customers. Delaying
or eliminating this project would result in the age of the water meters increasing, and consequently the meters will not read the correct volume of
water being consumed. Additionally, older water meters typically require more maintenance.

Replace the aged station with a completely new station to prevent the need for costly unbudgeted repairs to maintain operation, thus reducing pump
failure resulting in a sewage spill into waterway or backup in a residence. Due to the age of the station, certain parts are no longer obtainable and
replacement of equipment is costly. Feasibility study in FY 2024 and design in FY 2025.

Project # EE2003
Useful Life 20 years
Project Name Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $7,000,000
Description
Design and installation of an advanced metering infrastructure encompassing both electric and water meters throughout the city. The initial efforts
will be directed to determine the most robust and effective real-time, high speed communication system. Instead of installing a network that is
linked primarily to a specific AMI system or supplier, a system will be selected that will also support outage management, conservation monitoring,
demand response and potential distribution automation systems. Once that determination has been made, an AMI system will be selected that not
only fulfills the electric and water meter reading and billing requirements but is supportive of other initiatives such as outage management. This
will be a multi-year project.
Justification
This system will give the city the ability to read and totalize billing for primary billed customers. It would also eliminate on-site reconnects and
disconnects which would reduce wear and tear on vehicles and reduce overtime by allowing these actions to be accomplished using a computer
terminal. This system also allows quicker identification of outages, manage peak loads, give better ability to regulate voltages in the system,
predictive outage management vs. reactive and load control and rate adjustment data. This system could also save revenues due to better theft
protection and when fully implemented drastically reduce the reading time of the 109 total routes driven by the meter readers. Existing meter
readers would be utilized in more of a maintenance function to respond to any outages or failures in the system when fully implemented.

Project Name College Road Consolidation Category Electric
Priority 6 --
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $220,000
Description
This project will relocate the transmission protection relays from the old building into the newer switchgear building on the College Road
substation. This relocation will also allow for the removal of the old building and reduce overhead costs associated with having two buildings on
the property.
Justification
This project will consolidate the College Road substation into one existing building instead of the current configuration in two buildings. The
metal clad switchgear has eight distribution circuits breakers and all the distribution protection relays. All the 69kv transmission line protection
relays are in the old College Road building, which is about 25 years old. We plan to move the 69kv transmission line protection relays into the
metal clad switchgear with all the other relays so we will have all the protection relays in one location. This will help us reduce the restoration time
during an outage as well as cut down the maintenance cost by eliminating the extra building. Subsequent removal of the unused building will also
allow for further expansion of the substation as required.

Project Name Garrison Oak Tech Park Substation Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $7,750,000
Description
This project consists of two parts, an engineering and estimate portion in the amount of $750,000 completed in FY21 and a construction portion to
be completed in FY22. The result will be an expandable substation built on Lot 1 of the Garrison Oak Technical Park used to provide both 69 kV
and 12.47 kV electrical service to all the lots in the park. The substation will be of a ring bus design that will allow for redundancy in the event of
a breaker failure. Additionally, the substation could be used to provide power to any new developments in the area of the and give the City more
flexibility to perform system switching by increasing the tie points available.
Justification
As occupancy of Garrison Oak Technology Park increases, the amount of power drawn will exceed the capabilities of the current City of Dover
Transmission and Distribution system. We currently have less than 2 megawatts of reserve power for contingency situations for Calpine and we
estimate approximately 500 to 2000 kilowatts of demand per lot. This additional load will not be attainable without a new substation to dedicate to
the park and allow distribution to a limited number of customers outside the park in residential areas.

Total Project Cost: $475,000
Description
Started in FY19 there are two remaining sections to complete of the replacement of old porcelain insulators with polymer insulators for the two
69kv lines – from North Street substation to the Vansant switch yard and from Produce Junction to the Dover Downs substation. Similar
replacements are planned in the coming years as well as replacement of certain spans of 795 ACSR conductor.
Justification
Insulators have a defined equipment life due to sun and weather conditions breaking down the porcelain and base bonding cement. Insulators
installed in 1960's and 1970's are due for replacement because of this deterioration. We have experienced several transmission outages due to
insulator failure. Replacing the insulators should extend the life an additional 30 years.

Project Name Substation Component Upgrade Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $180,000
Description
This project is part of a wider ranging Substation Assessment Program. The goal of the Substation Assessment Program is to identify discrepancies
in the substations and proactively manage aging component replacements. This is done by performing monthly inspections and operational checks
of the switches, relays, transformers and wiring of each substation in the City of Dover system. This also will encompass replacing outdated
communication equipment and installing Real Time Automation Controllers (RTACs) that will allow faster reporting of faults in the system and
installation of GPS clocks to provide accurate time stamping of faults for reporting.
There are four RTACs and GPS clocks installed in the 15 substations across the City; Frazier, Horsepond, Cartanza, & Gen Scott. There is
currently a project underway to upgrade Mayfair Substation that will include an RTAC and GPS clock install, and the College Rd Consolidation
will include these as well. This would leave St. Jones, Mid-City, North St, Van Sant, Division St, & Dover Downs to need RTACs & GPS clocks
installed. The City has the RTAC units on hand to complete the work but will require the GPS clocks and associated material to be purchased as
installation progresses.
The last five will done in FY2022.
Justification
By installing Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) communication equipment, the monitoring capabilities of the City’s distribution and
transmission systems will be greatly improved. This will assist in properly engineering and designing a more stable system. The RTACs are a near-
real time communication device that can shave seconds off of the notification of a fault in system. There are currently a mix of communication
devices installed that delay reporting to System Operations. This program will also standardize maintenance and reduce multiple test equipment
requirements.

Project Name Substation Test Equipment Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $12,500
Description
This will replace the outdated relay testing equipment used to test reaction, closing, ohm and current readings in the relays and breakers in the
substations. This will provide a new Mega-ohmmeter which is used to measure the electrical resistance of insulators, insulating components and
equipment and cable jackets. The current Mega-ohmmeter is 21 years old and not supported by the manufacturer. This funding will also provide a
new Micro-ohmmeter that is used for testing circuit breaker contacts, bushings, welding joints and any low resistance measuring applications.
Additionally, it will provide funds to calibrate other equipment on hand.
Justification
Proper operation of the relays and breakers is critical to ensure a safe and reliable distribution and transmission system. This is a key piece of the
substation maintenance culture and will give the relay technicians and engineers the ability to design testing programs and track operational
capabilities of the installed relays and breakers. Annual calibration and testing of the equipment is an important step in maximizing the accuracy
and life of the test equipment.

Project Name Radio Infrastructure Upgrade Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $375,000
Description
This project will purchase improvements to the aged analog radio communication infrastructure with digital infrastructure to be used across the
City. The current system is designed by using equipment in three substations and at McKee Run plant. This new digital system will be capable of
transmitting twice the channels of the current system as well as provide the capability to transmit data to the crews in the field.
Justification
The current analog communication system was installed in the 1990s and has reached the end of its life expectancy. It is not possible for the State
Radio maintenance teams to obtain parts for the equipment and if the city loses a repeater a whole area of the city will basically go dark for
communications. The proposed upgrade will switch from analog to digital signal and will provide for a communications upgrade to all
departments in the City. This digital system is more powerful and capable than the current analog system and will double our channels open for
communications from 4 to 8. The ability to transfer data over the system will allow for the real-time transfer of electronic work order updates to
and from the field. It also considers the retirement of McKee Run and the loss of the antennae located on the plant. The current handheld radios
will still function on the new system as well as the base station in System Operations. A robust and reliable communications network is critical for
safe operations in the field for all departments in the City.

Project Name Capitol Green Secondary Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $33,000
Description
This project will eliminate the electric service on an aged pole line behind the homes on River Rd. All the existing infrastructure will be moved to
the front of the homes and allow easier access for maintenance. This section to be worked is in a very difficult position to conduct tree trimming
and it needs to occur by getting into the backyards of the homes. The pole line will continue to support other utility’s wiring.
Justification
The poles in this section of River Rd are located behind the backyards of the residences. Access to the pole line is limited for repairs and tree
trimming which requires the crews to transit the backyards around the fencing. The condition of the poles makes climbing them a safety hazard for
the linemen and the three trimming crews. Moving the electric service to the front of the homes will reduce outage times and eliminate the need for
tree trimming expenses.

Replace leaking DI system carbon filter vessel.
B Cooling Water pump and motor.
Fogging system inspections and repairs to include nozzle inspections, filter replacement, and instrument calibration
Justification
This project is required to fund the replacement of capital items that are expected to reach their useful life and will need to be replaced or
refurbished to maintain plant system and unit reliability. Extended equipment and /or unit outage time will result from lack of funding this project.
This will have a direct effect on the cost of energy during the extended outage time as well as increase future energy capacity charges.

Useful Life Unknown
Project Name McKee Run Unit 3 Auxillary System Components Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $120,000
Description
This project will perform inspections and repairs of Unit 3 auxiliary system components that will require inspections or replacement based on
regulatory requirements. The items identified that will be addressed in 2020 include the Unit #3 de-aerator tank inspection, replacement of Unit #3
CEMS sample lines, and hot water boiler inspections / repairs.
Unit #3 De-aerator storage tank, spray valve, atomizing valves, and baffle inspections. Estimate 14K for inspection and scaffolding and 10K for
any repairs to the unit components.
Unit #3 CEMS sample line replacement. Estimate 26K for materials and installation.
Hot water boiler inspections - refractory repairs and tube inspection. Estimate 10K for refractory repairs and tube replacement.
Justification
Unit #3 De-aerator inspection required every 5 years based on previous inspection results and subsequent repairs. Unit #3 CEMS sample line last
replaced in March 2015 and is required by Part 75 CEMS regulations. Hot water boiler inspections required by the State of Delaware on an annual
basis. This work is typically done prior to winter startup of the units. Typically there are refractory repairs and tube replacement or repairs needed
prior to startup.

Project # EG2101
Useful Life
Project Name Vansant U/G Fuel Line Relocate Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $172,000
Description
The existing line is buried approximately 5 feet below surface and has been there for 28 years. Relocated line would be in an exposed sealed
trench. This trench would serve as containment in the event of a leak.
Estimated costs as follows:
Trench / Covers $55,000
Piping / Fittings $18,000
Epoxy Paint $5,000
Equipment Rental $4,000
Replacement Transfer Pumps $40,000
Berm Transition $20,000
Labor Costs $30,000
Justification
Currently there are annual expenses of approximately $10K / year to test the line for leaks per Delaware environmental regulations. This includes
cathodic system checks and helium leak testing. This testing requirement would no longer be required. If there were an underground leak the
exposed area would require clean-up and remediation. The intention is to avoid any potential costs associated with an underground pipe failure.

Project # EG2102
Useful Life
Project Name Plant Decommissioning Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $14,000,000
Description
The City will decommision and dismantle the McKee Run Power Plant. The plant will be taken out of the PJM system on May 31, 2021 and the
decommissioning will begin shortly after.
FY2020-21 Using the playbook devloped by NAES, the City will issue an RFP, chose a firm, and develop engineering and demolition plans. Early
phases of the demo work might begin in June of 2021.
FY2021-22 The majority of the demolition will take place this year.
FY2022-23 Demolition will be completed and some site remediation will be done.
Justification
The age, condition and level of efficeincy of the McKee Power Plant make it no longer competetive in the PJM market. With new PJM rules, the
rare, but possible intersection of a call to generate for the PJM market and a failure to perform could lead to a penaly being assessed to the City in
the millions of dollars, and the lack of consistent use makes the plant no longer viable. The City's Integratated Resource Plan calls for a shift to
other resources.

Budget Impact/Other
Funds are available to take the plant down. Considering the possible penalties, the diminished capacity decommissioning the plant is the best
economic path for the City.

due to the outsourcing of Garrison Oak
Park maintenance and mowing contracts
(GOTP maintenance previously budgeted in
