P.O. Box 475
Dover, Delaware 19903
Phone: 302.736.7010 Fax: 302.736.4217
Date: August 17, 2016

From: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development
RE: Debriefing/Post-Mortem Firefly Music Festival
The 2016 Firefly Music Festival was held June 15 through June 19 in the Woodlands located at the
Dover International Speedway. This is the first year that the festival was completely inside the City
of Dover limits. Overall, the event went smoothly, but staff has identified a number of areas where
improvements can be made in future years, both in the pre-event permitting and the implementation.
This Department of Planning and Inspections enjoys great communication with both Dover
International Speedway and Redfrog in regards to the planning and execution of the event, and we
are confident that we will continue this positive relationship.
The Fire Marshal’s Office worked 152 hours from Wednesday through Sunday of the festival to
ensure the safety of the citizens and visitors in the lots and festival grounds utilized for the Firefly
Music Festival. Employees from the Code Enforcement Division were also utilized. This office also
attends regular meetings throughout the year for the planning of the event. Staff completed a fire and
life safety inspection prior to the event beginning. They oversaw the load-in of the camping areas to
ensure compliance with code requirements. They performed checks on occupant loads of the
enclosed tents. For the three acts that utilized pyrotechnic displays, the Fire Marshal’s Office staff
met with the authorized pyrotechnics vendors during the morning of the show to ensure compliance.
Staff was also on stage during the pyrotechnics to ensure compliance. There was an occurrence
where staff had to place the pyrotechnics on hold until the firing device could be re-secured. There
was no direct interference with the performance. There was a fire at one of the food vendor locations
due to a leaking/loose gas connection.
Several issues were identified by the Department of Planning and Inspections staff for which we
will work with Dover International Speedway and Redfrog to improve for future events. The Fire
Marshal’s Office provided a memo to Dover International Speedway to identify these issues and
will be meeting with them in the near future to review them.
Page 4
MEMO 2
For future camping permit submissions, the camping plans will need to more clearly identify
whether each camping lot is for tents or recreational vehicles. The two types of camping cannot
be intermingled within a lot. There are several camping areas in Lot 18 (which was recently
annexed), where there are no improved surfaces for camping access. The Fire Marshal’s Office
has provided a recommended phasing for the addition of these roads which are necessary for
emergency access. Staff will review this with Dover International Speedway. This is likely to
require Planning Commission approval.
The Fire Marshal’s Office oversaw the load-in and had to intervene to ensure that the code
requirements were followed. If issues are not corrected during load-in, it is very difficult to move
campers and tents after they are placed. Our staff will coordinate closely with Dover
International Speedway staff and contractors to improve the load-in process going forward.
The Department of Planning and Inspections staff will continue to work with Dover International
Speedway to effectively plan for future festivals and events in this area.

ITEMS REQUIRING IMPROVEMENT:
At the conclusion of the Firefly Music Festival, it was determined that there were several issues
that needed to be addressed and corrected for the 2017 Firefly Festival. Some of the issues that
arose during the weekend which will be addressed in the upcoming meetings are as follows:
• There needs to be consistency with regards to the parking and camping area names which in
all operations have assigned numbers while Red Frog gave names. Officers did not know
which number coincided to each Red Frog area name.
• There needs to be extra duty officer assigned to the event that strictly handles the tele serve
complaints stemming from the festival.
• Break the Camp and Speedway Rove patrols up with the control points to provide breaks to
the control points.
• It is recommend that Control Points 1 & 2 are manned full time, 24 hrs. once Leipsic Road
goes to hard closure. (1200 hrs. Thursday – 0300 hrs. Monday) This will provide better
security against potential threats and traffic enforcement.
• An improvement needs to be made to signage in the festival for locating land marks for point
of reference for emergency response.
Page 22
ITEMS REQUIRING IMPROVEMENT:
• Escorts, any and all motorcycle escorts will be a predetermined extra duty with a minimum of two
officers per extra. Times recommend are 1400 to 0200 hrs.
• Dispatchers: A dispatcher is needed at the public safety compound Festival trailer. This dispatcher
would enter and dispatch all DIV 1, 2 and 3 complaints from approx. 1200 hrs. until 0300 hrs. This
will save time and create clarity in transmission of complaints without any “middle” personnel. All
Dispatchers who are scheduled to take part in the event will receive formal training on the the
ISS24-7 program.
• Determine and secure an area dedicated to Dover Police Department equipment such as gators and
fuel and personnel transport vehicles in the public safety compound. This equipment will be
housed at this location and not at the JOC as in years past.
• Thefts in the camp grounds. Recommend portable lockers with some type of lock to be placed in
the area of the showers though out the facility. Better prepare the fencing on the south side of
camp grounds to prevent breaches from the Bacon Avenue area.
• Requesting the purchase of new headsets that will work with the new radio systems. Motorola
APX-6000 platform.
• Last minute changes to the parking placards in reference bridge access caused confusion and
additional work to the Officers manning the control point access positions. Access should
be agree upon prior to the event and not conflicted at any time during the event.
Page 23
ITEMS REQUIRING IMPROVEMENT:
• Chain of command issue and conflicting orders between Red Frog and Dover Downs reference
festival units patrolling the grounds. This directive was overridden by staff once the problems
were realized. It did however confuse the festival officers as to their responsibilities. This
practice needs to be clarified and solidified with Red Frog prior to the 2017 event. Dover Downs
will work issues that arise and when needed it will be passed through them and processed in the
JOC. Red Frog will not override DPD authority directly.
• Master Firefly gate keys should be issued and installed on each golf cart key ring to give officers
access through secured gates when need for rapid response. Dover Downs states they will put
that process in place.
Page 24
CONCLUSION:
Considering the size of the event, from the Dover Police
public safety standpoint, the 2016 Firefly Music Festival
did not have any major issues. The communication and
understanding of everyone’s role during this festival has
improved every year and as a result the overall day to day
operations and safety of the event has also improved.
Meetings to plan for the 2017 Firefly Festival began July 27,
2016, at 1000 hours.

From: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development
Scott D. Koenig, P.E., City Manager
RE: 2016 Transportation Prioritization
Each year, the City Council develops priorities for capital improvements to State transportation
infrastructure and shares these priorities with the Secretary of Transportation for consideration as the
Department of Transportation develops the State’s Capital Transportation Plan. We have reviewed the
priorities that were set in September 2015 by City Council, and we recommend the following priority
ranking for the coming year. The priorities stated below include an addition to last year’s list, which is a
North U.S. Route 13 Service Road behind Dover Mall. The Safety Advisory and Transportation
Committee received a presentation on this proposal at their meeting on June 28, 2016.
1. Construction of Sidewalks within the Walk Zone of the New Dover High School – Now that
the Dover High School has been operational for a full school year, the critical sidewalk gaps that
were identified in the Dover High Pedestrian Study performed by the Dover/Kent County MPO
continue to be a high priority. The critical gaps that are of highest priority to the City and most
critical in providing safe access to the school are listed below:
a. Mifflin Road
b. South Side of Route 8 West of Mifflin Road
Students are routinely seen walking within the roadway and shoulder on the side of Route 8
between the Dover High School and Mifflin Road and along Mifflin Road. The City is
concerned about the safety of pedestrians in this area. While there is currently no funding in
place, the City believes that this is a safety issue that must be addressed.
2. Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades – Upgrading Kenton Road, including the addition of
sidewalks along the road, continues to be a priority for the City. This project is currently in the
Capital Transportation Plan.
3. Loockerman Street/Forest Street Improvements – This project has been a priority for the City
to help spur redevelopment and improved traffic flow on the west side of Dover. It was initially
identified in the West Side Redevelopment study performed in 2001. This project is currently
Page 27
MEMO 2
funded in the Capital Transportation Plan. With the Downtown Development District Program,
the implementation of this project is a priority for the City.
4. Garrison Oak Connector Road – Due to the increased activity and interest in the Garrison Oak
Technical Park, the planning and construction of this connection to Delaware Route 1 is
increasingly important. This project is not currently in the Capital Transportation Plan.
5. North U.S. Route 13 Service Road – The North Route 13 Service Road would run parallel to
Route 1 between Leipsic Road and Scarborough Road. It would help to remove some of the
traffic from U.S. Route 13 and would provide economic benefit to the Dover Mall and expansion
of development on the mall property. This project is not currently in the Capital Transportation
Plan.
6. College Road Corridor Upgrades – This project is intended to upgrade College Road to
include sidewalks and other road improvements. This project is not currently in the Capital
Transportation Plan.
7. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector – This is planned to be a north/south access road that was
identified in the Delaware 8 Concept Plan and Operations Study. With the construction of the
new Dover High School, the construction of this connection is important to providing access to
the school without causing additional burden on other roads in the area. This project is not
currently in the Capital Transportation Plan.
8. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension – The extension of Crawford Carroll Avenue south
toward the Delaware State University Campus becomes a more critical priority with Delaware
State University’s lease of the Sheraton Hotel property. The extension of the Crawford Carroll
Avenue will help avoid use of US Route 13 for local trips between the Sheraton property and the
Delaware State University Campus. This project is included in the Capital Transportation Plan.
9. Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements – The intersection of Kings Highway,
US Route 13, and White Oak road needs improvement to meet an acceptable level of service
standard. The current condition of the intersection hinders redevelopment of properties in this
vicinity. This project is not in the Capital Transportation Plan.
10. US Route 13 Service Road Corridor – The construction of service roads along US Route 13 is
a project that will help to alleviate congestion on US Route 13. This project is not in the Capital
Transportation Plan.
11. US Route 13 Sidewalk Construction – Construction of sidewalks along US 13 continues to be
a priority. This project is not in the Capital Transportation Plan. Construction of sidewalks is
required when properties develop.
In addition to these projects, the City is also in support of implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Plans developed by the Dover/Kent County MPO and approved by City Council in 2016. We are
appreciative of the construction of Capital City Trail segments by the Department of Transportation and
the active participation on the part of the Department in our efforts to make Dover more bicycle and
pedestrian friendly. We are also appreciative of the Departments support of planning and construction of
segments of the Senator Bikeway. These projects will be beneficial to the quality of life of Dover
residents.
We look forward to discussing this prioritization with the Committee on August 23, 2016.

PROCEEDING: Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee AGENDA OF: 08-23-2016
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Police Department DATE SUBMITTED: 08-04-2016
PREPARED BY: Captain Tim Stump, Administrative Division Commander
SUBJECT: Addition to the Dover Police Department Vehicle Fleet
EXHIBITS: 1) Copy of U.S. Marshals Service FY16 JLEO Vehicle Order Form With Instructions
TIMETABLE: Final Approval by City Council on September 12, 2016
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Allow Police Department to take ownership of the vehicle and add it
to the fleet
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The police department routinely assigns officers to a variety of Special Federal Task Forces which ultimately
benefits both agencies. Currently we have one officer assigned to the United States Marshal’s Service which,
as part of their (JLEO) Joint Law Enforcement Operations, purchases vehicles for the supporting agencies.
On August 1, 2016, Corporal Pete Martinek signed the agreement to take ownership and ordered a 2017
Ford F150XL. The vehicle is being purchased by the U.S. Marshals Service and is valued at $31,000. It will
become property of the City of Dover and we will be taking full responsibility and ownership of same when
it arrives. I have attached a copy of the U.S. Marshals Service FY16 Vehicle Order Form with Instructions
and frequently asked questions.

FY16 JOINT LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS [JLEOI VEHICTE PURCHASES
The funding to provide vehicles to state and local ioint Law Enforcement Operations participants has been approved and
allocated for FY16. The ordering process will be the same as in FY15 - please review the important points below:
1) The USMS purchases vehicles through GSA at no cost to the receiving agency. Vehicle and equipment
purchasesaretobecontractedforandtitledinthenameof thestateorlocal law enforcement agency. Vehicles
and equipment purchased for state and local law enforcement agencies with asset forfeiture monies provided
by the USMS must remain available for exclusive use ofthe assigned task force officers of the participant agency
for the duration of the task force. Upon termination of the JLEO agreement, usage and disposition of such
vehicles are at the discretion of the state or Iocal law enforcement agency.
2) Once an order form is submitted for a vehicle, the recipient CANNOT be changed. lf an agency is unsure
whether they can accept the car, DO NOT proceed with the order until the necessary approvals are obtained
from state/local government agencies. When a car is ordered through GSA, the receiving state/local agency's
information is passed to the manufacturer as the legal owner ofthe finished vehicle. The USMS does not and
cannot take ownership of a JLEO-purchased vehicle at any time.
3) Vehicleswill not be delivered directlytothe recipients. GSA has a network of dealers that receives cars for
them and the delivery location will be the closest GSA-associated dealership to the address provided by the
state and local agencies. To avoid issues with dealerships failing to contact recipients when a vehicle is
delivered, IOD staff will be monitoring the vehicle shipment status and will notify district/RFTF POC'S when a
vehicle is shown as delivered in GSA'S system.
4) The "Responsible Party" signatureon the form is required, This must be a representative ofthe state/local
participating agency who is authorized to allow a vehicle acquisition. By signing, they are accepting the vehicle
on behalf of their agency and they a re responsible for confirming that the agency ca n cla im ownership of the
vehicle when it is delivered.
5) Titling, registration and insurance of the vehicles are the state and local agencies' responsibility. Vehicles
must be incorporated into the state/local motor pool - the USMS does not at any time have ownership over
JLEO vehicles. JLEO funds cannot be used to pay for title/registration fees, inspection or insurance. Questions
regarding titling/registration process should be directed to state-specific Motor Vehicles Departments.
ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS
Select a vehicle from the llst provided by the USMS.
Complete the vehicle order form with the selected option number, make/model, color choice, and
engine block heater option (check if an engine block heater is desired)
Review the mailing/titling information with motor pool and have MVO/Responsible Party sign to verify
that it is correct. By signing, agency is agreeing to accept ownership ofthe vehicle.
Check the form to make sure every field is complete, including Responsible Party signature. lncomplete
orders will be rejected and will not be filled unless corrected by the order deadline.
Submit to the USMS Point of Contact for the District or Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Vehicle paperwork (Certificate of Origin) will be mailed directly to state/local agencies at the address
provided. PTEASE ENSURE ADDRESS INFORMATION lS CORRECT.

Page 31
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
U WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST DIFFERENT OPTIONS ON THE VEHICLE THAN ARE SHOWN ON THE ORDERING
LIST - CAN WE CUSTOMIZE THE CARS AT ATL?
Due to the maximum purchase price that has been set for JLEO vehicles, it is impossible to add options that do
not appear on the ordering list. All the included cars have been priced with as many available options as
possible without exceeding the 528,500 limit. lfa state/local participant would like to request that a particular
option be eliminated, please ask before the order is placed and we can try to reprice the vehicle accordingly.
2) HOW LONG WrLt rT BE BEFORE THE VEHTCTE rS DEUVERED?
GSA normally estimates a delivery timeframe of 90-120 days. FY15 orders were mostly shipped within 120 days
The period in which IOD orders cars falls between model year updates for manufacturers, so vehicles with a
current (2016) model year will likely arrive more quickly than vehicles with a new (2017) model year. Model
year 2017 vehicles are still in production and the build process takes a bit longer - expect 2017 vehicles to be in
the 120-180 day shipment ranBe.
3} HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DEI.IVERED?
IOD staff will be monitorlng orders throu8h vehicle shipment and will contact USMS district/RFTF POC's when a
delivery date is entered in GSA'S system. lf you encounter problems with a dealership, please contact your
USMS District or Regional POC immediately so that we can address questions and lssues (and escalate to GSA if
necessa ry).
4} WE SUBMITTED AN ORDER FORM TO IOD, HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN THE ORDER HAS BEEN PTACED WITH
GSA?
Orders are placed as soon as possible, usually within 3-5 days after IOD receives them. Once GSA has processed
the order through their Autochoice system, an email confirmation is generated wlth a file attachment that
serves as the invoice for the order. This confirmation must be provided when picking up the vehicle upon
delivery, and lt will also be needed as proof of purchase for titling/registratlon.
Once an order has been placed throuBh GSA it cannot be changed. The manufacturers accept orders from GSA
as the legal ownership information for the vehicles. This means that when an order form ls submitted it should
be considered the final and correct order for the state/local participant.
5} WE PLACEO AN ORDER BUT THE AGENCY CHANGED IT5 MIND OR MAY HAVE ISSUES ACCEPTING THE CAR -
CAN WE CHANGE THE RECIPIENT?
An order can only be cancelled or changed BEFORE it has been entered into GSA'S system and passed on to the
manufacturer. Once lO D staff enters the order, it is out of the hands of GSA or the USMS to change. The
manufacturers will not change the ownership of a vehicle that has been scheduled for production.
Consider any order form signed by the state/local agency and sent to IOD to be final. When a "responsible
party" ofthe agency has signed, they are accepting the car on behalfofthe agency. lf there isANY uncertainty
about whether they can accept a new vehicle, they need to confirm this with their own state/local governint
authorities before proceeding.

6l wxene Do wE GET THE TrrrE/REGrsrRATroN? sHourD THE DEATER pRovrDE rr?
State/local agencies must obtain the title/reBistration through their state Motor Vehlcles Division and make
arrangements for temporary plates if necessary. GSA deliveries are considered "courtesy deliveries" and
dealerships working with GSA are not actinB in their normalselling role. They cannot process vehicle paperwork
because they are not the selling party in the transaction. Most will not provide plates, either.
Once the Certificate of Origin is received, the state/local agency can proceed with their state titling and
registration requirements. A Certificate of Origin (COVor MCO) isthelegal proof of ownership for the veh icle
and will be sent from the ma nufacturer directly to the mailing address provided on the order form. Certificates
of Origin are mailed as soon as the vehicle has been produced and should arrive before the vehicle is delivered
to a dealership. lf an agency has not received the COV when they are notified a vehicle has been delivered,
please contact IOD staff.
**A NOTE ON ODOMETER DISCLOSURES: Since the receivinB state/local agency is the first owner of record for
the vehicle, their own fleet/motor pool can complete and sign the odometer disclosure. ln this case, the
manufacturer is transferring the car directly to their ownership and there is no "seller" to complete the form.

The order confirmation from GSA serves as the invoice or bill of sale. lODstaffcan providecopiesof theGSA
documentation.
8} THE DEALERSHIP ASKED FOR A FEE TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE - HOW DO THEY GET PAID?
All the dealerships that receive GSA vehicles are entitled to a courtesy delivery fee which is paid by GSA. These
fees are prepaid as part of the vehicle order and GSA is responsible for payments to the receivlng dealership. lf
a dealership has questions about how to receive their courtesy fee, please provide them with a copy of the
vehicle order and direct them to call GSA at 703-605-CARS (2277). DO NOT PAY ANY FEE DIRECTLY TO THE
DEALERSHIP.

ACTION FORM
PROCEEDING: Legislative, Finance & Administrative Committee
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Finance DATE SUBMITTED: 3/17/16
PREPARED BY: Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer
SUBJECT: Revenue Policy for Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime
REVIEW: Chief of Police, City Manager & Controller/Treasurer
APPROVALS: City Council
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A
FUNDING SOURCE:
TIMETABLE: Effective upon Council approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of the Revised Revenue Policy - Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime
Rates.
During the Legislative, Finance & Administrative Committee of March 17, 2016 the Revenue
Policy for Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime was amended to reflect revised rates to coincide
payroll increases. At that time the following language was included –
We are not including at this current time any change to the special event rate until an analysis is
completed for the next two special events. Depending on the mix of officers assigned to these
duties, we may not need to change this rate.
After analyzing the two special events as mentioned, it has been determined that a rate
modification is in order. The revised policy includes:
Change to effective date – page 6 of 10. Since pay changes don’t always coincide with
the adoption of the budget and are more in line with contract negotiations, this paragraph
was amended to strike the wording “during the adoption of the annual budget”.
Notice to Customers – Page 7 of 10. Included language to notify the customers that “The
billing rates are subject to change based on Cost of Service (Council) approved rates at
the time the service is rendered”. This would enable the City to charge revised rates
when approved rather than the rates in effect at the time the contract was signed.
(Possibly 2 or 3 months ago.)
Billing Rates – Page 10 of 10. The Special Event Rate recommended will change from
$59.00 to the following –
o Police Officer $65.00
o Dispatcher @ Straight Time $26.00
o Dispatcher @ Over Time $37.00

CITY OF DOVER
REVENUE POLICY
POLICE EXTRA DUTY / VOLUNTARY OVERTIME
I. POLICY
The City of Dover Police Department recognizes the need for individuals and businesses to
have the services of police officers for special events or other functions that would not be
part of routine patrol. The Department will ensure that these needs are met by permitting
officers to work for these employers in their capacity as Dover Police Officers. Additionally,
the Department shall seek to secure grant funding to compensate officers for voluntary
patrols in and around specific areas of the city, supplementing the normal activities of the
Department.
II. PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this document to outline the extra duty billing rates and procedures to
our customers and granting agencies.
III. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Special Enforcement Unit Commander will be the Extra Duty Coordinator and will
assign clerical support as well.
The Extra Duty Coordinator shall be responsible for ensuring that all requests conform to
this Procedural Notice, City ordinances, and to oversee compliance with departmental
regulations.
The Chief of Police will determine if an extra duty request is a “must fill” position, due to
safety concerns to the public or to police. When this occurs, and no one has volunteered to
work the position, the Extra Duty Coordinator will be responsible for assigning this extra
duty job to an officer.
The Extra Duty Coordinator will be responsible for determining the adequate number of
officers to staff an event.
In cases where the staffing was underestimated the on-site supervisor or working shift
commander, at an event may, at his discretion, notify the employer and the extra duty
coordinator that additional officers are needed. Regardless of whether or not the employer
was able to be notified, the on-site supervisor may call in additional officers and the
employer will be billed accordingly.
Examples of “Special Events” requiring extra duty assignments include, but are not limited
to, events:
1. That require a City of Dover permit
2. Involve temporary road closures
3. Require right of way closures
4. Bicycle or foot races or walks
5. Active traffic control- where an officer is actively/physically engaged in directing
vehicular or pedestrian traffic
6. Other special events
Page 35
Revenue Policy – Police Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime Page 2 of 10
IV. REQUESTS FOR EXTRA DUTY OFFICERS
Any individual or private firm may request extra duty officers for work within the city limits of
Dover. Requests must be received between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday
through Friday and can be mailed, emailed, faxed or brought in person to the Dover Police
Department. Applications must be received seven (7) days before the event. Any requests
made less than seven (7) days in advance are only processed with the understanding that
the assignment may not be filled. These requests will be directed to the Extra Duty
Coordinator, who will ensure that the requesting party understands the payment and
cancellation procedures.
The Extra Duty Coordinator will try to accommodate any schedule requests made by the
employer if made within one hour prior to the time of the event.
It shall be the responsibility of the Extra Duty Coordinator to review all requests and the
work required. The extra duty request will be denied if:
A. The employment is prohibited by State Law, City Ordinance, or Dover Police
Department Rules & Regulations.
B. The employment presents a potential risk of injury due to the lack of officers being
requested for the assignment.
C. The request requires the officer to act in any capacity other than a law enforcement
official.
D. The final determination of whether a permit is approved rests with the Extra Duty
Coordinator. While efforts will be made to comply with the assignment duties as defined
by the business representatives, the Dover Police Department maintains exclusive
rights in determining the number of officers required in order to maintain a safe
environment for all and dictate placement and duties.
E. On occasion, specific staffing levels and officer placement are influenced by City of
Dover Ordinances and unique circumstances identified by the City of Dover Council
regarding zoning approval for individual establishments and land parcels.
F. Major re-occurring special events within the City of Dover may involve more defined and
detailed staffing and planning processes that may be outlined in a memorandum of
understanding at the discretion of the Chief of Police or his designee. Any separate
agreements must adhere to the requirements of the Extra Duty
Revenue/Voluntary Overtime Policy and all other City of Dover personnel and
financial policies and procedures as promulgated by the City Council, City
Manager, or Controller Treasurer.
V. PAYMENT METHODS
Billing and processing for all extra duty accounts will be handled in accordance with current
City of Dover finance policies.
A. Non-Recurring permits
Page 36
Revenue Policy – Police Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime Page 3 of 10
Employers who are using the extra duty services one time, or are determined by the
Extra Duty Coordinator as a high risk customer, must pay for services before the
assignment commences.
Officers can work additional hours with permission granted by the shift commander or
extra duty coordinator. If this should occur, the extra duty employer must pay the
additional charges on the next business day to the Extra Duty Coordinator. To prevent
this, the employer may pay for extra hours and if unused, will be reimbursed.
No officer is allowed to accept monies from an extra duty employer.
B. City Sponsored Events
The cost of police personnel to maintain safety for the actual event, those officers
assigned to traffic and/or crowd control, will be absorbed by the City of Dover.
City sponsored events will be staffed by officers scheduled during the hours of the
event. For events that required additional staffing levels, regular overtime will be
schedule and paid to those officers that actually work overtime.
C. Extra Duty for Non City Sponsored Events
The Extra Duty Coordinator will schedule officers to work non-city sponsored events.
The expense associated with this extra duty will be the responsibility of the event
organizers. The Coordinator may also arrange for additional requests for police
services, such as money escorts or overnight security.
VI. REPORTING PROCEDURES
The officer may elect to go directly to the job site and report to the point of contact identified
on the assignment worksheet. That contact (or his/her designee) will be responsible for
completing the time-on-duty and time-off-duty sections, along with the Extra Duty Employer
section of the assignment worksheet. If the officer elects to do this, he/she must contact
the on-duty Shift Supervisor by telephone to be input into the CAD system.
VII. FAILURE TO APPEAR FOR EXTRA DUTY
An employer, upon realizing that the officer failed to appear, should notify the extra duty
coordinator at (302)- 736-7145 immediately and also call the on duty shift commander at
(302)736-7111.
VIII. CANCELLATIONS OF EXTRA DUTY
A. Extra duty assignments will not be canceled less than one hour prior to the scheduled
start time, except as authorized by a Unit or Division Commander, during regular duty
hours, or after regular duty hours, the On-Call Lieutenant.
B. In the case of a departmental need or community emergency, the Chief of Police or
designee may cancel any extra duties assignments. The extra duty officers would then
be immediately available for service to the department.
Page 37
Revenue Policy – Police Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime Page 4 of 10
IX. PROCEDURE FOR CANCELLATIONS OF EXTRA DUTY ASSIGNMENTS
NOTIFICATIONS
A. Cancellations by the extra duty employer should be made at least one hour before the
time the assignment is scheduled to begin. If cancellation is made in less than an hour
(with the exception of a natural disaster) the customer will be charged and the assigned
officers will be paid a minimum of 3 hours as per the FOP Union contract. When an
extra duty assignment is canceled by an extra duty employer the following procedure
will be followed:
1. The person who receives the cancellation notice will document in the extra duty
book, the date and time the cancellation call was received, and they will initial next
to this entry.
2. The person will then notify the officer who had signed up for the extra duty
assignment.
a. This notification will be by leaving the officer a voice mail message stating the
particular extra duty assignment was canceled.
b. If the cancellation notice was received after normal working hours and the
assignment is for the next business day the person receiving the notification will
comply with the above steps but they will also attempt to contact the officer at
the officer’s residence.
3. The person’s initials next to the entry will signify that his person did in fact notify the
officer.
B. When an extra duty assignment is canceled for inclement weather the following
procedure will be followed:
1. The officer who has signed up for the extra duty assignment will be responsible for
contacting the On Duty Supervisor at least one (1) hour prior to the start of the extra
duty assignment. The On Duty Supervisor will make the determination if an extra
duty assignment will be canceled due to inclement weather at this time.
2. If extra duty assignments are going to be canceled due to inclement weather in
advance of the assignment, the officer making the decision to cancel the assignment
will ensure that the officers are notified in advance if possible. (ie: leaving the officer
a message at his residence if possible, if not then a voice mail message)
3. Officers are required to check their voicemail one (1) hour prior to the scheduled start
time of all assignments unless notified previously.
C. A phone message will be left for the Extra Duty Coordinator advising of the cancellation
and that the officer(s) were in fact notified.
D. Some extra duty assignments will be canceled regularly due to inclement weather
where others such as grant-related extra duty assignments are generally not canceled
for inclement weather, unless such weather is severe. Officers are expected to be
prepared to adapt to existing weather conditions.
Page 38
Revenue Policy – Police Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime Page 5 of 10
X. DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICE
If the Chief of Police or his designee or the Extra Duty Coordinator, determines that it is in
the best interest of the department to discontinue an extra duty service, the customer
employer will be immediately notified.
XI. BILLING POLICY
A. Billing rates for Fiscal Year 2015 are as indicated in Attachment 4.
B. Officers pay rates for extra duty assignments, regardless of type, are governed by the
Collective Bargaining Agreement.
C. The City of Dover will pay the officers wages as well as pay for worker’s compensation
and general liability insurance, administrative resource costs, automobile fuel,
maintenance and insurance. An overhead rate is added to the contractual Extra Duty
rate to cover these cost.
D. Officers working an extra-duty assignment will be paid a 3-hour minimum. If the
assignment is not canceled according to policy, or if the officer is released from the
assignment less than 3 hours from the start time, he/she will receive three (3) hours pay
at the extra duty rate.
E. If an officer is late to the assignment for any reason, the officer will be paid only for
actual hours worked.
F. Officers are held strictly accountable for their extra duty assignment worksheets, as this
is the source document by which officers are paid. The customer or designee must sign
the worksheet upon completion of the assignment. For large assignments, the
customer must sign the master worksheet that covers all the officers on that
assignment. Officers will be compensated for extra duty assignments during the pay
period in which the worksheet is submitted to payroll.
G. If an officer must work additional hours on an extra duty assignment, the customer is
responsible for payment of the additional costs, as long as the overage is due to the
extra duty assignment and is necessary.
H. At the conclusion of the extra duty assignment, the officer should place the assignment
worksheet in the payroll mailbox, but no later than the officer’s next scheduled workday.
Loss of an extra duty assignment worksheet may result in a delay of payment to the
officer, or may cause the officer to forfeit pay. Reproduction of assignment worksheets
may be done with the approval of the Extra Duty Coordinator. The officer will have sole
responsibility for obtaining the proper signatures/dates/times. All employees working
extra duty are required to submit accurate assignment worksheets. The accuracy of
these assignment sheets is critical in ensuring appropriate employee compensation.
The employee’s signature must match the printed name of the employee assigned the
duty. The editing of extra duty worksheets by the employee is permitted for the
purpose of adding accurate information.
Page 39
Revenue Policy – Police Extra Duty/Voluntary Overtime Page 6 of 10
G. Any officer who falsifies any portion of the extra duty assignment worksheet will be
subject to discipline under General Order 26, Code of Conduct.
XII. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION/LIABILITY
The City of Dover is self- insured for general liability and statutory workers’
compensation coverage. Police officers assigned to extra duty work are afforded
workers compensation coverage.
XIII. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Procedure shall become effective upon adoption of City Council. Rates will be
reviewed on an annual basis and revised upon Council approval during the adoption of the
annual budget.

Attachment 1
NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
The officers are at all times subject to the policies and procedures of the City of Dover and
the rules and regulations governing employees of the Dover Police Department (DPD). A
customer has no authority over police personnel and is restricted to providing only a
general assignment of duties to be performed by the officer. Those duties never
supersede DPD policy or procedures and employers of the extra duty officers should so be
advised. Extra duty officers remain under the exclusive control of the department and
accountable for strict adherence to departmental rules and regulations. Any conflicting
rules of employers of extra duty officers will be disregarded. The officer shall refuse to
perform any duties deemed to be in conflict with the guidelines established by the Dover
Police Department. As determined by the Department, officers may be recalled from extra
duty to on-duty status.
This permit is for Law Enforcement work only and does not exempt customers from
obtaining other necessary permits for this event.
The City of Dover Police Department is NOT obligated to provide extra duty services. A
permit will not be issued to any person, firm, or organization whose offices, members,
business, or operations are questionable or for any event of a potentially compromising
nature. The billing rates quoted are subject to change based on Cost of Service approved
rates at the time the service is rendered.
Dover Police Department officers are NOT permitted to receive cash from customers for
any reason whatsoever.
The undersigned customer agrees, individually and on behalf of the named applicant, to
promptly pay for extra duty services rendered. Further, the undersigned agrees,
individually and on behalf of the named applicant to pay all costs, expenses and attorney’s
fees incurred in the collection of any sums due hereunder.
Paul M. Bernat.

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $360,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): $300,000 from USDA Grant; $60,000 City Funds
(20% match)
TIME TIMETABLE: Application due to USDA Delaware Office on September 30, 2016
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the Committee and City Council authorize staff to
proceed with the application for funds and the establishment of a loan fund. If Council would like further
review of the funding recipients for the first round of funding, staff requests that this role be assigned to the
Economic Development Committee.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant (REDLG)
program, local utilities can apply for loan or grant funds to establish revolving loan funds that help to create
rural jobs. The City of Dover is an eligible applicant as a rural utility provider. Staff began the process of
determining Dover’s eligibility for funding through the program after we learned of Smyrna’s success with
using the program for downtown revitalization. At least one prospective business owner has approached the
City about using funds through REDLG to help with business start-up costs in the downtown. Volunteers with
Destination Downtown Dover have been working to recruit new businesses to downtown Dover and may have
other potential businesses interested in utilizing the funding. Volunteers with Destination Downtown Dover
have also been working with USDA to learn about the program and how Dover might benefit.
Under the program, Dover can request $300,000 in grant funding to establish a revolving loan fund. The City
would provide a 20% match ($60,000), which would also become part of the loan fund. In this program, the
City is known as the intermediary, and we would loan the funds to the ultimate recipient with a ten-year term at
0% interest. Based on the discussions to date, the loan fund would likely be administered by the Planning
Office, similarly to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City previously managed
a business loan program funded through CDBG.
There are no funds budgeted for the City’s match in the FY2017 budget, as staff was not aware of our eligibility
for these funds until recently. If approved, the allocation of the match would need to be addressed through the
first budget amendment for FY17.
The application for the funds is due to the USDA Delaware office on September 30, 2016. With this
application, the initial projects must be identified in the application.

BACKGROUND
The City awarded a three year contract for bank and cash management services to WSFS Bank in
August 2012. The contract included a provision for two 1-year extensions with Council approval.
The Finance Department missed the original expiration of the contract on August 2015.
Authorization to extend the contract through August 31, 2016 was approved in December 2015.
In reviewing the Proposals received for Bill Presentment Services (on-line bill payment and lookup
features – Item #4 on this evenings agenda), we put a hold on the draft proposal we were working
on for bank services. We have also conducted research on updated best practices for banking
and merchant services (credit card vendors). We are still in the process of completing this analysis
and would request approval of the second 1-year extension on our current bank services contract.

REVIEW: City Manager
EXHIBITS: Exhibit A – ADP, LLC Guaranteed 36 Month Price Agreement
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: FY16 $108,002.51
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $99,500
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): 110-2300-517-30-31 Page 245
TIMETABLE: Upon Council approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION: To authorize the Controller/Treasurer to extend the ADP contract
through December 1, 2018, unless the ERP implementation results in an earlier cancellation.
BACKGROUND
In December of 2015, City staff requested the authorization to negotiate an extension of the
current ADP contract in light of the City’s efforts to evaluate alternative Enterprise Resource
Planning systems (ERP).
Based on conversations with other municipalities and consultants working on ERP projects, they
estimate a 24 month time frame from the date of a contract award to full implementation. In order
to maintain our current processes through the evaluations and possible implementation of a new
ERP system, staff believes the 3-year extension would be appropriate.
The price increases over current cost provided by ADP is as follows –
12/1/16 No Increase
12/1/17 1.5 percent
12/1/18 2.0 percent
FY17 – estimated $103,800
FY18 – estimated $104,700
FY19 – estimated $107,800
Please note, we are requesting ADP change the date on their proposal to December 31, rather
than December 1. If agreed, we will make this administrative change.

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Annual Estimated Cost 1st Year $67,000
AMOUNT BUDGETED: $315,000 (All Customer related bank fees)
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Operating Expense
TIMETABLE: Upon Council Approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award a one (1) year contract to InvoiceCloud for an estimated 1st
year annual cost to the City of $67,000. This 1st year estimated annual cost includes a 14% growth
in customer use. The proposed contract for Electronic Bill Presentment and Bill Payment services
includes an option to renew each year for four (4) subsequent years.
BACKGROUND
The Finance Department requested proposals for Electronic Bill Presentment and Bill Payment
Services (EBPP) on June 28, 2016, RFP #16-0043FN. The awarded vendor will provide EBPP
services for, but not limited to, Utility and Property Tax Customers.
We reviewed each of the proposals for customer ease of use, the capability of offering specialized
bill payment services and a number of methods with which to communicate with customers, quality
of service, marketing support services, capability of integration with the City’s current business
practices and systems, vendor experience and qualifications.
We received nine (9) proposals, all of which provided bill presentment services. However, several
vendors required additional services and some pricing proposals were not comparable for this
reason. Those firms we received proposals from are as follows:

APPROVALS: City Council
REVIEW: City Manager, City Planner
EXHIBITS: Uncollectible Reserve Audit Work Paper
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $300,000 each – General Fund & Electric Fund
AMOUNT BUDGETED: General Fund $50,000; Electric Fund $200,000
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A
TIMETABLE: Upon Council Approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION: To authorize the Controller/Treasurer to record an adjustment of
$300,000 each as a reserve for estimated uncollectible receivables for Fiscal Year 2016, thereby
reducing the Budget Balance in the General Fund and the Inventory Reserve Balance in the
Electric Fund.
BACKGROUND
At the end of each fiscal year, Finance prepares the attached audit work paper to determine
whether or not the City’s reserve for receivables outstanding over 90 days is sufficient to cover the
bad debt expense if it is determined these accounts are uncollectible.
Based on the analysis prepared for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016, we are recommending a
$300,000 expense be recorded for both the General Fund and the Electric Fund in order bring into
alignment the reserve balances and the aged receivables over 90 days. The majority of the
General Fund adjustment is related to the demolition receivables. The Electric Fund adjustment
can be covered through a transfer from the Inventory Reserve with a current balance of $1.0
million. The summary of the financial activity for demolitions is provided as below.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
The Regular Council Meeting was held on March 25, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President
Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza,
Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mrs. Williams was absent.
Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Koenig,
Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief West, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey
was also present.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Anderson requested that Item #5A - Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report
- March 11, 2013 - Permanent Assignment of Duties Associated with Interim Managerial Plan and
Organizational Changes be removed from the Consent Agenda.
Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the consent agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Dixon and
carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Lynn, Bonar, Hare, Hutchison,
and Leary), one (1) no (Perza), and one (1) absent (Williams).
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT -
MARCH 11, 2013
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on March 11, 2013 with Chairman
Lynn presiding.
Permanent Assignment of Duties Associated with Interim Managerial Plan and Organizational
Changes
Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that in December of 2011, he requested and
implemented a number of organizational changes related to several staff vacancies and the changing
needs of the City’s organization. He noted that since that time, a number of staff positions had been
filled while others had been vacated through resignation or retirement.
Mr. Koenig reviewed and requested support of permanent changes to staff assignments, salary and
organizational structure, as follows:
Public Works
Under the original Interim Plan, Ms. Sharon Duca, P.E. was elevated to the position of Interim
Public Works Director. Since that time, Ms. Duca has been offered and accepted the position of
Public Works Director. One of her tasks has been to review the organizational structure of the
reformed Public Works Department. In June 2012, the Public Utilities Operations/Construction
Manager resigned from his position. Instead of filling this position, which supervised the City’s
construction crew in addition to other duties, the staff members that formerly reported to the position
were placed under the supervision of the Water/Wastewater Maintenance Supervisor,
Mr. Ralph McDougall. Originally, their assignments were related mostly to general maintenance
items. In February 2013, the construction crew aspect of their duties was re-activated to begin
construction of a new water line to support the Garrison Farm Development. New projects will
continue to be assigned to this crew under the supervision of Mr. McDougall. Since the construction
crew was not formerly the responsibility of the Water/Wastewater Maintenance Supervisor, the
Page 61
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 25, 2013 PAGE 2
Director of Public Works had requested a review of the position to ensure internal equity in pay with
respect to other positions given the new duties. The Water/Wastewater Maintenance Supervisor
position is a Labor Grade 122. Human Resources completed an internal review of this position
related to other positions within the Department of Public Works. They also reviewed the salary
range with respect to a similar position at Kent County. Based upon this review, staff recommended
that the salary for this position be increased from $54,576 to $61,000. This is an increase of $6,424
or 11.77%. The effective date of this salary change should be retroactive to February 1, 2013.
Mr. Koenig advised members that currently, there is still one (1) remaining position in the
Department of Public Works that is receiving a managerial bonus related to the Interim Plan from
December 2011. Due to recent retirements, a formal recommendation will be forthcoming in the
next several months regarding this position and others within the department.
Information Technology
Mr. Koenig advised members that upon his appointment as Interim City Manager, he was informed
of the capacity that Mr. Andy Siegel was serving in the Information Technology Department. In
August 2010, Mr. Siegel was temporarily upgraded to the position of Interim Information
Technology Director by the former City Manager. His salary was placed at the entry level value of
$76,314 for the grade of the Director’s position. Earlier this year, Mr. Koenig decided to offer
Mr. Siegel the position of Information Technology Director, thus removing the interim label;
however, no adjustment to his salary was made. Upon review of the circumstances, he was made
aware that he had made no consideration for the roughly 2.5 years that Mr. Siegel served as the
Interim Director. If Mr. Siegel had been credited with 2.5 years of experience in the salary offer for
the Director’s position, the salary offer would have been $82,059; therefore, he recommended that
his salary be increased from $76,314 to $82,059, an increase of $5,745 or 7.53%. He felt that the
recommended salary should be retroactive to the date of promotion to the Director’s position.
Finance
Since becoming the City Manager, Mr. Koenig advised members that a large bulk of the
responsibility of preparing the City’s Annual Budget had been shifted to the staff in the Finance
Department. This was an effort to reduce duplication of effort and centralize budgeting efforts.
With the retirement of the former Senior City Administrator in the City Manager’s office, it would
have been necessary to hire additional staff to assist with the budget preparation and management.
The transfer of the budget preparation function to the Finance Department has made it unnecessary
to hire additional staff in the City Manager’s office. The Controller personally assumed much of the
budget functions in prior years and opted to not accept compensation for these additional duties.
Instead, the Controller offered a portion of the proposed managerial bonus to the Financial Reporting
and Accounting Manager (Labor Grade 125), Mrs. Tracey Lisiecki, in the amount of $175 per month.
This was done on a temporary basis and the bonus ceased in October 2012. The Human Resources
Director has reviewed the position based on internal equity within the organization. Staff
recommended the salary for this position be increased from $68,835.24 to $71,600. This is an
increase of $2,764.76 or 4.01%.
Page 62
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 25, 2013 PAGE 3
Planning
In 2011 as part of the Interim Plan, the Director of Planning and Community Development,
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, accepted the managerial responsibilities for the following divisions:
Life Safety, Building Inspections, and Economic Development. These areas represented ten (10)
positions and were in addition to her regular permanent responsibilities for Planning, Community
Development and Code Enforcement. A managerial bonus of $350 per month was implemented to
compensate Mrs. Townshend for these additional responsibilities. Her current salary ($91,775) plus
the monthly managerial bonus ($350) equates to annual compensation of $95,975.
In June of 2012, the Dover City Council voted to assign the oversight of the Economic Development
Office and its three (3) employees to the Mayor. Also in June of 2012, Mr. Zachary Carter elected
to retire from the City. Mr. Carter served as the Director of Parks and Recreation. Upon
Mr. Carter’s retirement, the Library function became a direct report to the City Manager. In addition,
discussions between the City Manager and Mrs. Townshend resulted in the temporary assignment
of managerial oversight for the Parks and Recreation staff to Mrs. Townshend. Mrs. Townshend has
been serving as the Department Head for the Parks and Recreation function since July 1, 2012.
Mr. Koenig provided a summary of the Parks and Recreation functions.
Mr. Koenig advised members that the assignment of these duties to Mrs. Townshend has allowed
the City to eliminate the Parks and Recreation Director position from the budget. This amounts to
an annual salary savings of roughly $81,000 per year. The City also has realized a saving in benefit
load over and above the $81,000 in annual salary. Mrs. Townshend has requested consideration of
the following annual salary: Current Salary ($91,775) + Current Managerial Bonus ($4,200) + Parks
and Recreation Function ($11,340) = $107,315. Based on a business case review, the salary request
of $11,340 to continue the managerial oversight of the Parks and Recreation Division is the lowest
cost option. The City cannot hire managerial staff for less than $11,340 in salary. In viewing the
current organizational structure of the City, the Parks and Recreation function cannot be easily
assigned to another manager and the facts support that the assignment to the Director of Planning
and Community Development has been a benefit to the City. Since the Director of Planning and
Community Development is a Council-appointed position, the City Council must endorse the
transfer of the managerial responsibilities as well as the proposed salary. The total increase from
$91,775 to $107,315 is $15,540 or 16.93%. Currently, Mrs. Townshend’s position is the sixth
highest paid position in the City. If the request is approved, the position will become the fourth
highest paid position in the City.
Summary
As a follow up to the December 2011 Interim Managerial Plan which saved the City an estimated
$215,000 in annual salary, Mr. Koenig requested salary increases for those positions served by
specific members of City staff who have taken on additional duties or permanent assignments since
the Interim Managerial Plan was placed into action, as follows:

Mr. Koenig indicated that the salary increases total $30,274. Total budgetary impact would be salary
plus 40% load, which is roughly $42,383.60. Funding for these increases would need to be covered
by unused salary in the current year and would need to be budgeted for in FY-2014.
Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, read the following
statement into the record:
“Thank you for the opportunity to explain my compensation proposal. The details of the
proposal are in the packet, so I will not go over each and every detail, but I would like to
highlight and clarify a few items.
• Throughout my seven years with the City of Dover, I have been a devoted
employee and have always worked hard to make sure that my efforts and those
of my staff are in the best interest of the City. This is my home too, and I am
firmly committed to making Dover a great place to live and work.
• As outlined in the proposal, there have been added responsibilities to my position
over the years that I have enthusiastically accepted, including the addition of
economic development responsibilities in 2008, and again in 2011; and the
management of the City's Municipal Storm Sewer Permit and reversing the City's
non-compliance with the permit.
• In December 2011, I was officially assigned oversight of Building Inspections,
Licensing and Permitting, and Fire Marshal's Office and compensated with a
$350/month bonus, total of $4,200 annually. I had been providing oversight for
these areas without added compensation since Mr. Koenig was appointed interim
City Manager in June 2011.
• In July 2012, I gladly accepted oversight of the Recreation Division following
Zach Carter's retirement. I indicated that I did not believe it necessary to delay
the responsibilities until compensation could be worked out because I was well
aware of the City's fiscal challenges, and I wanted to get a sense of what the
demands of the new responsibilities would be.
• For the last eight months, I have managed the Recreation Division, working
closely with staff to evaluate the business operations, to reverse the declining
revenues and to improve our programming – as stated at a recent seminar I
attended, to make better best. We have had great success.
Page 64
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 25, 2013 PAGE 5
N We have restructured the City's summer camp program so that it will make
money instead of lose money – while making the program better for meeting
the needs of working families by adding extended day camp. Our prices are
still far less than many other camps, but we will make money instead of lose
money on the program.
N We have improved our outreach with the schools regarding our
programming and seen an increase in participation.
N We have adjusted our field rental fee schedule.
N I have given staff the support needed to try new ideas and see if they work,
including offering birthday party packages at the Pitts Center, and improving
partnerships with other sports and recreation providers in the region.
• All the while, I have continued working with the business community to
modernize and simplify our zoning ordinance; continued our tough approach to
code enforcement and addressing vacant and dangerous buildings; worked with
the Police Department to develop our proposed Safe Communities program;
worked with the Capital School District and DelDOT to address safe pedestrian
access to the new High School; worked closely with Planning and Inspection
staff to ensure that our business operation remains strong and improved it in a
number of areas; and taken on many other projects and issues.
• The City does not have to hire a Parks and Recreation Director, which is a
savings of a minimum of $72,000 per year plus associated benefits. And our
Recreation programs are thriving.
• For me personally, this has meant more hours put in to get the job done,
including many evenings and weekends.
• What is the value of this to the City? The savings of eliminating the department
head position (nearly $100,000 when benefits are factored in) combined with the
business improvements we are implementing.
• My request is for $11,340 annual salary for the Recreation function and $4,200
annual salary (my existing bonus amount) for the oversight of Licensing and
Permitting, Fire Marshal's Office, and Building Inspection, for total of $15,540.
And yes, technically speaking it is a 16.9% salary increase, but if the bonus is
factored in, the increase is 11.8% over my current compensation.”
Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig stated that the salaries for the vacated positions were
eliminated from the FY2013 Budget; therefore, there was no unused salary for the Senior City
Administrator or the Parks and Recreation Director.
In response to Mr. Hare regarding salary comparisons for the positions, Mr. Koenig stated that the
Water/Wastewater Supervisor position was compared to the City of Dover Water Production
Supervisor, who is paid slightly higher but the technical requirements differ. He indicated that Kent
Page 65
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 25, 2013 PAGE 6
County salary ranges were reviewed and were similar to the salary increases that staff recommended.
In regard to the IT Director position, he explained that when the employee was assigned to the
Interim IT Director position, he was paid the minimum amount; however, if the City had actually
recruited to fill the IT Director’s position and the employee had been selected within the four (4) to
six (6) months, the salary would have been appropriate. He explained that there was a 2½ year lapse
between the time the employee began serving as the Interim IT Director and when he was actually
offered the permanent Director’s position. As a result, this employee acquired 2½ years experience
serving as a Director that he was not credited for in the salary calculation. He further explained that
if a person had been selected from outside the City’s employment to fill the position and that
individual had 2½ years of experience serving as an IT Director, the City would credit the individual
for this experience as a Director in developing their salary.
Referring to the IT Director, Mr. Hare suggested that the employee be provided a one-time bonus
($5,500-$6,000), noting that his salary was considerably less than $76,000 2½ years ago, and he
questioned if his salary would have been set at the higher level if this individual had been selected
at that time. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that in every other instance when an employee is
promoted, their years of experience are considered and salaries are offered accordingly. In the case
of the IT Director, this did not occur and the recommendation would correct this error.
The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation for the permanent assignment of
duties as outlined by the City Manager.
During the Council meeting, Mr. Hare reiterated his feeling that action regarding this matter should
be deferred until the City’s budget was approved and that any increase in compensation should be
accomplished through some form of a bonus system until that time.
Mr. Lynn moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Anderson indicated that he concurred with Mr. Hare and, therefore, would not support the
Committee’s recommendation. Mr. Bonar advised members of his concurrence in this regard as
well.
The motion to approve the Committee’s recommendation for the permanent assignment of duties
as outlined by the City Manager failed by a roll call vote of five (5) no (Anderson, Dixon, Perza,
Bonar, and Hare), three (3) yes (Lynn, Hutchison, and Leary), and one (1) absent (Williams).
Mr. Lynn suggested that the recommendations of the City Manager be considered individually.
Mr. Anderson moved to reconsider the recommendations of the City Manager individually,
seconded by Mr. Perza and carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (Anderson, Lynn, Perza,
Hutchison, and Leary), three (3) no (Dixon, Bonar, and Hare), and one (1) absent (Williams).
In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that of the four (4) positions identified in the
recommendation, only (1) was currently receiving a bonus. He stated that, under the proposal, all
four (4) salaries would be adjusted and there would be no more bonus payments. He explained that
Page 66
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 25, 2013 PAGE 7
the only bonus paid was to the Planning Director, as a result of her taking on an additional division
on December 11, 2012.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig explained that the proposal was being recommended since it
had been demonstrated that the total amount of funding for salaries that would be cut from the
budget for these positions would exceed $300,000, plus the overhead load. In addition, it was his
feeling that this proposal would resolve a fairness and equity issue that he would prefer to resolve
now rather than later during the budget consideration.
Responding to Council President Leary, Mr. Koenig confirmed that 345 full-time employees were
proposed for the next fiscal year, compared to an estimated 370 five (5) years ago. He indicated that
this recommendation would reduce the employee head count as well as salary and benefit costs.
Council President Leary reminded members that one (1) of the positions was formerly occupied by
an individual who retired at a salary level of approximately $80,000 plus benefits, and that the
individual who assumed those duties had realigned contracts, found internal cost savings, and would
be provided an increase of approximately $1,000 per month. Council President Leary noted that the
savings from contract re-negotiations and the Human Resources issues more than exceeded the
proposed increase in salary over a one (1) year period. As a result, he felt that if the proposal were
approved, the City would be ahead $80,000.
Concurring, Mr. Lynn stated that his support was not offered in an effort to rush to spend money but
rather to realize a bargain. He also noted that, as mentioned in the material provided, there were
some exemplary issues of employee selflessness. As an example, he stated that there were instances
of department heads being given an opportunity for extra earnings and declining in order to protect
other employees, and others who had assumed additional department head responsibilities. He
reiterated that there was an equity and fairness issue and cautioned members that the City could not
afford to lose talent, which had recently occurred in the Electric Department.
Mr. Perza explained that the City sets salaries based on what the City can afford to pay and if an
employee were to leave the City’s employment, several individuals would be in line to fill the
position. Although it was not the City’s desire to lose an employee and this would not be the intent
if salary increases were not provided, he stated that the City must live within the financial reality of
the current economy. After further discussions with the City Manager, he agreed that it would be
beneficial for the City to approve staff’s recommendation since it would save the City additional
funds in the near future, explaining his preference would be to consolidate the positions rather than
hire additional people at this time.
Mr. Perza moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, rather than voting on
each recommendation individually, as a result of the additional information provided by the
City Manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a roll call vote of five
(5) yes (Lynn, Perza, Bonar, Hutchison, and Leary), three (3) no (Anderson, Dixon, and Hare),
and one (1) absent (Williams).
