CERTIFICATE OF CONGRATULATIONS - BURNS & ELLIS REALTORS 50TH ANNIVERSARY The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Congratulations into the record:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 2 WHEREAS, Burns & Ellis Realtors was founded in Dover in 1966 by Walter Ellis, who passed the family business on to his daughter and son-in-law, Terry and Tom Burns, 22 years ago. They have continued to operate the enterprise based on the sound principles of honesty, integrity, and hard work that Walter Ellis established long ago; and WHEREAS, Burns & Ellis Realtors’ knowledge, professional skills, and flexibility have resulted in a loyal customer base and have allowed the business to prosper through favorable economic times, while their sense of vision and adaptability to changing conditions have enabled them to weather the more difficult times brought on by multiple recessions. Their business continues to thrive, as evidenced by attainment of their most profitable year ever in 2015; and WHEREAS, Burns & Ellis is celebrating 50 years of serving our community and has left an indelible mark on Dover by facilitating countless real estate transactions that have allowed grateful individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and businesses to realize their dreams. NOW, THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby present this Certificate of Congratulations to Burns & Ellis Realtors on their 50th anniversary and extend best wishes in all future endeavors. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the Certificate to Tom and Terry Burns and thanked them for their great contributions to Dover. Mr. Burns noted that when Walt Ellis and Fran Lore started the business in 1966, houses were selling for $14,000 and Dover did not have McDonald's, a C-5, Bayhealth, Route One, Dover Downs, the Blue Hen or Dover Malls, computers, or cell phones. Mr. Burns stated that Dover has been a wonderful place to run a business. CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION - SANTA HOUSE PROJECT The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Appreciation into the record: The City of Dover extends its sincere appreciation to the groups and individuals who contributed so generously of their time, talents, and professional attention to the Santa House project. The Mayor and Council of the City of Dover, Delaware do hereby present this Certificate of Appreciation to: Becker Morgan Group Delaware Technical & Community College Kent Signs City of Dover Fire Department Delmarva Pole Building Lessard Builders City of Dover Police Department Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing Norman Christoferson City of Dover Public Works Department Downtown Dover Partnership Quality Builders Delaware Department of Corrections Tonda Parks Thank you for your part in creating a building for children and families to make memories throughout the year. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the Certificate to representatives of the groups. He stated that this building, which will serve as a Santa house, a Dover Days house, and a substation for cadets downtown, really started out as a dream in everyone’s mind and it is a

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 3 great addition to the downtown area. Mayor Christiansen extended his heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. Ms. Tonda Parks thanked everyone who got behind the effort, especially the Downtown Dover Partnership for their financial assistance, the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing for their support, and Delaware Technical and Community College (Del Tech) for its administrative assistance. Mr. Gregg Moore, president of the Downtown Dover Partnership, thanked everyone, on behalf of the Partnership, for helping to make this happen. He gave special thanks to Dr. Reginald Chandler of Del Tech for his tireless work and the work of his students. Mr. Moore stated that Dr. Chandler does an outstanding job mentoring, teaching, and integrating the students into business. Dr. Reginald Chandler of Del Tech stated that he was deeply appreciative of all that they were able to accomplish and for the certificate of appreciation. He stated that the James T. Vaughn and Smyrna correctional facilities were greatly involved in every aspect of the project, noting that they built the house so that it could be transported in sections to downtown Dover. A representative of the prison advised that the inmates took a lot of pride in working on the Santa house and he was very proud of the officers and inmates. He stated that they would love to help on future projects. PLAN4HEALTH PRESENTATION BY THE DELAWARE CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION Mr. David Edgell, Principal Planner with the Delaware Office of State Planning Coordination, representing the Delaware Chapter of the American Planning Association, and Mr. Tim Gibbs, Executive Director of the Delaware Academy of Medicine and the Delaware Public Health Association, provided the PLAN4Health presentation (Exhibit #1). Mr. Edgell advised that this grant funding originated from the Center for Disease Control and partnered with the National American Planning Association and the American Public Health Association. This year $2.25M was awarded to 17 local initiatives, one of which was Kent County. Mr. Edgell noted that the funding is aimed at combating two (2) determinants of chronic disease, lack of physical activity and lack of access to nutritious foods, and the goal is to help Kent County residents to be their healthiest. Mr. Sudler asked how they planned to make the healthier eating initiatives affordable for low- income communities and individuals and what the criteria was for selecting the communities. Responding, Mr. Edgell advised that they are hoping to work with the planning offices in the City of Dover and Kent County to look at the health data and mapping, based on zip codes, to select the communities. He stated that their consultants are doing interesting work on the national level identifying how to tell from the data which communities are most in need of this kind of assistance. Mr. Gibbs advised that one way to cause the food to be more affordable is to get the food from the field to the table more effectively. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Edgell stated that this program was not funded through the 2030 initiative.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 4 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2016-02 AMENDING THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED, BY REPLACING MAP 12:1: LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider Proposed Ordinance #2016-02, which would amend the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, as amended, by replacing Table 12-1: Land Development Plan. Mr. Sudler moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2016-02 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of January 25, 2016.) Planner's Review Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the Proposed Amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, noting that land use classification amendments were proposed for 834 South State Street, a portion of the Kesselring Farm property, and the Dover International Speedway, Inc. property. She noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the map amendments. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend advised that the Dover International Speedway property would continue to be used for festivals. She noted that, although no permanent improvements are proposed, they do have a long term arrangement with Red Frog Events for the Firefly Music Festival and may consider constructing showers or restrooms on the property in the future. Mr. Hutchison asked if the State of Delaware had any issues with the proposal. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that the State was more concerned with the proposed zoning and the potential for another use. She advised that any site plan would require review through the State’s Preliminary Land Use (PLUS) process. Mr. Sudler asked what the worse case scenario could be under the proposed zone. Mrs. Townshend advised that uses permitted in the proposed zone are an automobile race track, which they already have, hotels, and indoor and outdoor amusements. She noted that it is a commercial zone that focuses on the recreational aspects of commercial uses. Referring to the State’s concerns, Mrs. Townshend advised that the State has had a longstanding policy of opposing expansion and development east of State Route 1 and she did not anticipate expansion under the current circumstances. Mr. Neil stated that the biggest problem they have with the Firefly Festival relates to pedestrian traffic along Persimmon Tree Lane blocking ambulances and police vehicles. He noted that they are working very diligently with Dover Downs on that matter and hopefully have it rectified now. Mr. Neil stated that he presumed that if they wanted to put in several permanent stages, they would be permitted to do so. He advised that Dover Downs has been extremely sensitive to, and cooperative with, the neighborhoods and their issues. Referring to 834 South State Street, Mr. Anderson asked what was being done to mitigate possible traffic issues and how the change in use would impact the alley behind the property. Responding,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 5 Mrs. Townshend stated that this property backs up to the medical arts building on Bradford Street and access to it would be off of the alley. She noted that there are areas where there have been concerns and complaints about speeding in the alley; however, there are not as many residential neighbors in this area that would be affected. Mrs. Townshend stated that the alleys in this area are pretty narrow, which makes speeding difficult. She also advised that studies of some of the areas of complaints about speeding in alleys have shown that they were unwarranted, noting that the smaller roadway gives the perception that cars are moving faster than they actually are. Mr. Hare advised that this is a short alley and it is a little chopped up. He stated that he spoke with a few of the residents and they had no issues. Mr. Hare advised that the neighbors anticipate that the property will be upgraded and made to look a lot better than it does now. Public Hearing Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. Mr. Gregg Moore of Becker Morgan Group, representing Dover International Speedway, stated that they are very much in favor of changing the land use classification from active agriculture to commercial, since it is not being used for agriculture. Noting that the property is used for NASCAR races and the Firefly Festival, and that parts of the property are in the City of Dover and other parts are in Kent County, Mr. Moore advised that being in multiple jurisdictions creates confusion related to dispatching emergency service agencies. He stated that Dover International Speedway is trying to consolidate all of its lands under one zoning and one jurisdiction in the City of Dover. Mr. Moore stated that they have no intentions of changing how they use the property and that there are no plans to build hotels on the property, as has been reported. Mr. Sudler asked how Dover International Speedway has been able to use the property for events under the current agriculture zone and why they wanted to change the zone now. Responding, Mr. Moore stated that they have been able to hold those events because the City’s Planning, Fire, and Police Departments have been very cooperative. He noted that they have had to use temporary facility permits to allow the events to occur, which is dissimilar from the actual operation of the Speedway in the Recreational and Commercial (RC) zone. Mr. Moore advised that they currently use patch work to make the events happen, and consolidating the zones, annexing the property, and bringing everything under the City's control will eliminate the patch work. Mr. Jack Kling of RE/MAX Horizons, representing the Kesselring family, stated that the planned West Dover Connector route around and through the Kesselring property and the railroad to the side of the property makes it a unique parcel that would be best suited for industrial use. Mr. Michael Braun, owner of 834 South State Street, stated that the property is not particularly suitable as a residence, which is its current zoning. He advised that it would be a substantial improvement to convert the property for commercial operations, which the structure lends itself to. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Slavin declared the hearing closed. Mr. Sudler stated that he would support the Comprehensive Plan amendments; however, he expressed concern that it seemed as though the City sometimes picks and chooses who it is going

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 6 to be flexible with when it comes to zoning. He felt that there needed to be flexibility across the board. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendments. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and, by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes (Anderson, Sudler, Neil, Lewis, Cole, Hare, Hutchison, and Slavin), and one abstention (Hosfelt), Council adopted Ordinance #2016-02, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED, BY REPLACING MAP 12-1: LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dover, on February 9, 2009, adopted the 2008 Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Title 22, Section 702 of the Delaware Code; and WHEREAS, the Honorable Jack Markell, Governor of the State of Delaware, certified the 2008 Comprehensive Plan on April 24, 2009; and WHEREAS, the 2008 Comprehensive Plan allows for an annual amendment process; and WHEREAS, two property owners have requested amendments to the Land Development Plan Map (Map 12-1) in accordance with the process set forth in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, the Planning Office has prepared one amendment to the Land Development Plan Map (Map 12-1); WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 16, 2016, after which the Commission made a recommendation in regard to the amendments to the Land Development Plan related to the above request. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED THAT the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover hereby amend the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, as amended, by: 1. Replacing Map 12-1: Land Development Plan of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, as amended on November 23, 2009; March 14, 2011; April 11, 2011; March 12, 2012; March 10, 2014; and April 13, 2015, with the referenced map presented to City Council on March 14, 2016. ADOPTED: MARCH 14, 2016 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2016-03 - REZONING REQUEST FOR LANDS OF KESSELRING COMPANY, LLC AND OTHERS A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property, consisting of 37.2+/- acres, located west of New Burton Road and the railroad corridor and including the property located at 1436 New Burton Road. The properties are currently zoned R-20 (One- Family Residence) and the proposed zoning is IPM (Industrial Park Manufacturing) (Tax Parcels: ED-05-085.00-01-07.00-000 and ED-05-085.00-01-07.00-001; Planning Reference: Z-16-02; Council District 2).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 7 Mr. Hare moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2016-03 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of January 25, 2016.) Planner's Review Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. She noted that this was the companion rezoning to the Comprehensive Plan amendment related to the Kesselring property. Mrs. Townshend advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Public Hearing Council President Slavin declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak, Council President Slavin declared the hearing closed. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 8 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2016-04 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 834 SOUTH STATE STREET, OWNED BY MICHAEL W. AND WINIFRED M. BRAUN A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 834 South State Street, consisting of 17,000+/- s.f, owned by Michael W. and Winifred M. Braun. The property is currently zoned R-8 (One-Family Residence) and the proposed zoning is C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office) (Tax Parcel: ED-05-077.17-03-45.00-000; Planning Reference Z-16-03; Council District 2). Mr. Hare moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2016-04 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

(Tax Parcel: ED-05-077.17-03-45.00-000; Planning Reference Z- 16-03; Council District 2) ADOPTED: MARCH 14, 2016 60-DAY PROGRESS REPORT - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1032-1058 SOUTH DUPONT HIGHWAY, OWNED BY BMDR LLC During the Regular City Council Meeting of November 9, 2015, members considered a Violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 1032-1058 South DuPont Highway, owned by BMDR LLC. At that time, Council declared the structure located at 1032-1058 South DuPont Highway a dangerous building; ordered that the property be repaired or demolished by July 1, 2016 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; ordered the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structure if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; ordered the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner; and that progress reports be provided at the Council Meetings scheduled for January 11, 2016, March 14, 2016, and June 13, 2016. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the building immediately to the north had been demolished, there is construction fencing up, and a fence between this site and the adjacent residential neighbors has been constructed. She noted that the building permit application and the building plans for the improvements for this building were received and staff is in the process of reviewing the building permit. Mr. Neil moved to accept the report, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. PRESENTATION - 2015 DOWNTOWN DOVER PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL REPORT Mr. Gregory Moore, President, Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) reviewed highlights of the 2015 DDP Annual Report. He advised members that they receive a lot of support from the community, as was demonstrated earlier in the meeting during the presentation to the Santa House volunteers, and that it is gratifying to have so many people helping the DDP with their mission. Mr. Moore stated that the DDP staff organized the St. Patrick’s Day Parade the previous weekend and it brought a lot of people downtown. He also noted that they received grants worth $1.6M from the Delaware Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program to improve two (2) blocks of North Street moving to the east towards the railroad tracks and Bradford Street from Loockerman moving towards Wesley College. Mr. Moore advised that a $3M grant was used for parking improvements and North Street improvements. Mr. Moore noted that the State reached out to the DDP and asked how they could help. He advised that the DDP met with the Governor and his staff and requested assistance with financing property improvements, both residential and commercial, in the downtown area, which resulted in the creation of the Downtown Development Districts. Mr. Moore stated that they were able to secure funds for downtown Dover and are starting to see results.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 10 Mr. Moore advised that the DDP returned $75,000 of the $3M grant to the State of Delaware upon completion of the planned projects. He noted that this money was unspent and they wanted to show the State that the DDP was a good steward of the State’s money. Mr. William Neaton, City of Dover Economic Development Director, referring to the Downtown Development Districts, thanked Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, for preparing the application for the City. He noted that, once Dover was designated as a Downtown Development District, he and Mrs. Townshend provided at least a dozen presentations explaining the program. As a result, they received approval for two (2) major projects, the Priscilla Block Building and the Habitat for Humanity projects. Mr. Neaton advised that seven (7) minor projects ($250,000 or less) were also approved. He noted that, during the second round of funding, five (5) large projects valued at $1.7M were approved and will be completed over the course of the next two (2) to three (3) years. Mr. Neaton advised that the DDP is involved with the farmer's market, which is in its fourth year, and sponsors a community garden in the downtown development area. They are currently working with NCALL on establishing gardens that will be maintained by the residents of the downtown area to provide ready access to fresh produce. Mr. Neaton noted that the DDP Promotions Committee put on the Capital Holiday Celebration, the Home for the Holidays parade, and First Fridays, which were just expanded to First Weekends. Mr. Neaton advised that the DDP supported the Dover Comicon, which has become a huge event, and the Merchant's Committee of the Downtown Dover Partnership has expanded tremendously over the past two (2) years, noting that their first two events were the OktDoverFest and the History, Heritage and Hops event. Mr. Neaton stated that the clean up of Loockerman Street from State Street to Governors Avenue is being championed by a group called Destination Downtown Dover, which is made up of merchants in the Downtown Dover Partnership. He also noted that the DDP has very active parking and safety committees and advised that the cadet program has been a great success downtown. Mr. Neaton stated that the genesis of the cadet program came from a meeting with some downtown merchants who had security concerns. Mr. Neaton advised that the DDP used a $15,000 USDA grant to provide seven (7) different seminars on how to run and grow businesses. He noted that they will be providing another seminar on how to use social media to improve a business. Mr. Neaton stated that the DDP is also the Small Business Administration technical advisor and has assisted a number of businesses in securing loans over the years. He advised that, in 2015, they assisted two (2) businesses in getting $120,000 worth of loans. Mr. Anderson thanked the DDP for the work that is being done and asked for an update on the former Acme building. Responding, Mr. Moore advised that the building is for sale and there had been serious interest. He noted that he and City staff have spoken with a developer that approached them regarding funding programs. Mr. Moore stated that they are going to continue talks with that developer and he hopes to bring a great project to that site. He noted that there is also interest in

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 11 other DDP properties. Mr. Moore advised that the State funding is stimulating interest in properties in the downtown area. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Moore stated that the purchase of three (3) problem properties downtown by the City and the DDP shows developers that they are willing to make improvements, and that is a benefit. Mr. Sudler moved to accept the 2015 Downtown Dover Partnership Annual Report, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. PRESENTATION - 2015 HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT Mr. Theodore Henderson, Chair of the Human Relations Commission, reviewed highlights of the 2015 Human Relations Commission Annual Report. Mr. Henderson advised that the Commission’s current initiative is conducting a human relation survey. He noted that he and Commissioner McGiffin met with various members of City staff and talked about diversity as it relates to employees’ relationships. Mr. Sudler, noting that he is member of the State Human Relations Commission, advised that their Chairperson, Calvin Christopher, looks forward to the commissions working together. Council President Slavin thanked Mr. Henderson for his service to the community as a member and Chair of the Human Relations Commission. Mr. Sudler moved to accept the 2015 Human Relations Commission Annual Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - FEBRUARY 23, 2016 The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held on February 23, 2016, at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Slavin presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Hosfelt (departed at 6:09 p.m. and returned at 6:11 p.m.), Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Lewis were absent. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Blakeman and Mrs. Stewart (Utility), and Ms. Maucher (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration) was absent. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Hutchison presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 12 Energy Management Contract Extension and Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) During the Regular Council meeting of November 23, 2015, Councilman Hutchison, Chair of the Utility Committee, requested that the Electric Department Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Information Discussion be referred back to the Utility Committee for further discussion. The request was unanimously approved by City Council. Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s Power Supply Attorney, Betts & Holt, LLP, advised members that The Energy Authority (TEA) had been handling the City’s power supply management for nearly five (5) years and members must consider whether to authorize Mr. Betts and his firm to negotiate a three (3) year extension of the City’s contract with TEA. Mr. Betts explained that additional services that the City had acquired through the employment of Mr. Harry Maloney, Electric Director, had reduced the level of costs that TEA had incurred in serving the City. As a result, preliminary discussions had been held about having TEA conduct and prepare an IRP for the City. Mr. Betts noted that an IRP had been discussed in the past in relation to changes in the PJM marketplace, as well as at the customer and consumer level. For example, he explained that for the first time in recent memory, in looking at power supply planning for the City, PJM was predicting no growth. This was not because the City was not growing but because there were substantial changes in the way energy is being used, such as significant changes in daily and overnight loads due to the impact of compact fluorescents and LEDs. Mr. Betts stated that an IRP would look at all of the changes in the marketplace, such as requirements for renewable energy growing to 20% and its effect on how energy is bought and used, as well as the potential introduction of batteries, which was moving at an accelerated rate, allowed a lot more renewables, and could also affect planning for the future. He stated that the idea would be to take into account what is happening on the consumer, generating, and PJM market sides when planning to see what would be the best proposal going forward for the City. He expressed the desire not to overstep by building a power plant that is too large or that does not have the right type of fuel for the future, noting that these are big decisions that incur a lot of liability over time. Mr. Betts advised members that part of the transaction that had been proposed with TEA was to extend their contract to allow enough time to prepare an IRP and to see how viable the City’s plant is going into the future and to consider the changes that were occurring. Staff recommended that Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, be authorized to negotiate up to a three (3) year extension of the TEA agreement, but amended to adjust the monthly fee to reflect a modified scope of services, redefine the services, and to negotiate such other terms as may be in the best interest of the City of Dover for the extended term. The final negotiated extension will be brought back to the Utility Committee and City Council for consideration. Noting that PJM was projecting no growth, Mr. Blakeman questioned if other financial forecasts or supplemental studies were available with the same findings.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 13 Responding, Mr. Betts stated that, although he could not cite specifics, everything that he had been reading nationally supported these findings, with the exception of the deep South where there was much more population growth. The Northeast and Midwest showed relatively flat growth, again not because of population but because of the way energy was being used today. Mr. Betts indicated that most people are not projecting any significant growth and no new capacity requirements, other than those being seen in the shift between coal and natural gas. He stated that new appliances were using less energy and changes in lighting, which is a significant part of the City’s daily load, were also contributing to the flatness. Mr. Betts explained that significant growth of 3% or 5% had always been counted on in designing plans for revenue purposes; however, this had not been happening over the past three (3) or four (4) years. He stated that originally it was felt that the decline had been caused by the recession; however, a far greater movement was actually happening. This type of information was coming from consulting firms and the press all over. Mr. Blakeman stated that historically when electric service prices went down, the demand went up. He noted that the current drop in fuel prices should result in decreases in electric charges, which historically had increased sales. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that houses being built today have different insulation standards, window standards, types of manufactured pipes, and heating systems, whether they have electric furnaces, heat pumps, or gas furnaces. For example, he informed members that he worked with a facility that just installed a heat pump that goes down to 28 degrees before kicking into emergency power, noting that this used to be closer to 40 or 45 degrees, which makes a big difference in terms of how load is managed. Mr. Betts felt that the flatness and some of the reductions were the result of movement toward more saturation of those changes and was not money-driven any more. Mr. Blakeman acknowledged this transition; however, he stated the desire for confirmation so as not to rely on just one (1) report to make a decision, suggesting possibly State-wide and regional economic forecasts for the next 10 years. Responding, Mr. Betts stated his belief that the IRP would try to integrate this type of information so that planning is done properly and efficiently by considering what is happening, as opposed to what the City would like to do, and developing the best recommendation from there. In response to Mr. Hutchison as to whether the City had ever done an IRP in the past, Mr. Betts explained that the City had done power supply planning, which is the supply and generating side, as opposed to a fully integrated look. Mr. Neil questioned how this might help the City to drop its commercial rates to keep its commercial customers happy. Responding, Mr. Betts explained that this would not be a rate study, such as that conducted by Burns & McDonnell that looks at the cost of service for each type of customer, loads, voltages used, and where they take delivery. The IRP is a different type of study that would be valuable in helping customers by looking at trends, such as whether there is growth in the residential sector, reductions in the commercial or industrial sectors, and how energy is used.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 14 This would allow the City to properly plan going forward and prevent it from stepping into a power supply service plan that does not serve its customers well financially. As an example, Mr. Betts recalled standing in the Council Chambers before Calpine built its plant when it was being said that the City needed to build a new plant. Had the City entered into a brand new type of construction for the size plant that it would be allowed to build with the tax laws, etc., he felt it would probably have been a relatively inefficient plant, causing its customers to pay significant amounts of money well into the future for something that would be essentially obsolete. Mr. Betts advised members that an IRP would help avoid the mistakes of doing something before having the information on what should be done, explaining that there would be several steps to the process. Data would be collected about the marketplace and customers and what is happening with power supply around the City and with customers. It would then be looked at to determine the best way to serve customers and provide supply at the least cost going forward, considering regulatory changes and the influence of the renewable resources, potentially including batteries and solar-run homes. Mr. Betts noted that this would be a way to get the right answers but it could not be promised that it would fix commercial customers’ rates. The IRP process would provide assurances that the City would not end up making a mistake that results in higher than necessary charges. Ms. Stewart questioned if the IRP would take into consideration the needs of other members of the Delaware Municipal Energy Corporation (DEMEC) and other municipalities and how they do their purchasing with the increasing renewable requirements. She asked if there was any chance for economies of scale working with other municipalities. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that the first question would be what the issues are in the City’s own service territory and the second would be to bring TEA into this, since TEA works with a large variety of municipal utilities and is probably the largest of any of the consulting firms that performs this type of work. Mr. Betts indicated that the City was counting on TEA to bring their institutional knowledge to the City’s table and apply that knowledge, as they do with their monthly reports, so that the City would not be trying to recreate the wheel. He felt that economies of scale could be seen by using TEA. Mr. Betts noted an additional economy in that TEA knows the City’s loads well after working with the City and managing its load, and would bring an instantaneous data resource that another entity would have to build. As for whether a DEMEC type of approach would work, Mr. Betts stated his understanding that DEMEC had done its own studies collectively and was willing to provide information to the City as to the City’s relationship with DEMEC, and this would be an information resource that TEA would use. Mr. Hare questioned if the IRP would advise members whether the City should be in or out of the power business or build a new plant. Responding, Mr. Betts stated that an IRP is not generally about whether or not to be in power supply but provides data and the information that leads to making a decision about whether or not to do this. The intent of the study would not be to make a decision or make a recommendation one way or another.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 15 In regard to Mr. Hare’s question as to whether TEA was the best entity to do this, Mr. Betts expressed his opinion that it was. Noting his and staff’s desire to be competitive about what the City does, Mr. Betts stated that there was a question of timeliness since TEA’s contract would expire in six (6) months or less. In addition, he indicated that there was money left on the table because of Mr. Maloney’s presence and the integration of the work that Mr. Maloney had done at the power plant. This was money that had not been spent, and TEA agreed it should applied to the City’s contract in a different way. Mr. Betts felt there was an opportunity to extract that value through the IRP and stated he would hate to see the City lose the value of the money on the table with TEA by getting another firm. Mr. Betts encouraged members to look at this seriously because there was a value that could be negotiated to not only get a study but a lower rate because of the presence of Mr. Maloney and his power plant experience. He felt these two (2) factors made it worth looking at TEA’s services rather than going out to bid. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Betts confirmed that TEA is experienced in doing IRPs, noting that his firm had reviewed their IRPs and found them reasonable. Noting that Mr. Betts would be compensated, Mr. Blakeman asked if there was a range of compensation for the study. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that Mr. Betts is paid through an hourly rate and his compensation is identified as a line item under legal expenses in the Electric budget. He indicated that he did not bring those numbers with him tonight; however, they were basically the same as his services had been in the past. Mr. Koenig advised members that Mr. Betts is paid well but the City has high expectations, stating his belief that $100,000 was identified for legal- related expenses for the Electric Fund and this would fall into that category. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that the anticipated range for the value of an IRP was estimated at between $100,000 and $200,000. Mr. Betts stated that his firm had kept its fees at the same level for almost 15 years, and would challenge anybody else to do so. He estimated that it would probably take no more than 20 hours to negotiate this contract, noting that there was already a form of the contract and the concepts had been discussed with TEA. Mr. Betts noted that Betts & Holt had raised the question of pulling the value of Mr. Maloney’s work out of the contract, since it essentially involved doing what TEA’s engineer used to have to do, and Betts and Holt had already started in many ways pulling the value together for the City in order to be able to negotiate. He did not believe that the amount would be protracted, estimating the cost at less than $10,000 to negotiate this and probably even much less than that to pull the contract all the way through. Mr. Betss indicated that the money for this service was already in the existing contract because Mr. Maloney had saved the City approximately $100,000 of value by taking over parts of the contract. The goal was to pull this out of the existing contract and roll it into an IRP; therefore, $100,000 had already been paid. Mr. Betts indicated that the estimated value was $178,000; however, Betts & Holt was working on obtaining the IRP at no additional cost to the City.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 16 The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation that Mr. Kirk Betts be authorized to negotiate up to a three (3) year extension of The Energy Authority (TEA) agreement, amended to adjust the monthly fee to reflect a modified scope of services, redefine the services, and to negotiate such other terms as may be in the best interest of the City of Dover for the extended term. The final negotiated extension will be brought back to the Utility Committee and City Council for consideration. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Sudler absent). Annexation Request - 1102 South State Street, Owned by Capitol Cleaners and Launderers, Inc. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed a Petition to Annex and Rezone Property located at 1102 South State Street consisting of 6,331 S.F.+/- and owned by Capitol Cleaners & Launderers, Inc. She explained that this is a developed property located across from the Carroll’s Corner Shopping Center in the City’s Category 1 high priority annexation area with a proposed zoning classification of C-2A, Limited Central Commercial. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the property line goes through the building, and the front portion of the building is on the property proposed for annexation. The remainder of the building on the rear property has a different owner and is not proposed for annexation. Mrs. Townshend indicated that the subject property currently is served by City of Dover electric and water utilities. The property owner wishes to extend sanitary sewer service to the property, which is available from the neighboring property, and the property owner is working with the owner to the north to get easements in place to extend the sewer service. Mrs. Townshend indicated that staff was supportive of the annexation because the property is located in the City’s high priority annexation area and the City has the capacity to provide utility services. Staff recommended proceeding with the annexation. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Sudler absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 17 Proposed Ordinance #2016-11 Amending Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article VI - Exemptions; Board of Assessments Appeals, Section 102-182 - Authority to Exempt Real Property from Taxation Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that he was present on behalf of Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, Tax Assessor, to discuss administrative issues related to delinquent taxes. He noted that the City had a substantial delinquent tax list and he and Mrs. Bundek and Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, met with Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, last fall to discuss ways to help reduce this outstanding balance. It was found that there had been a number of subdivisions with Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) that were disbanded or developers who went defunct during development. Mr. Koenig explained that there were areas of community or private open space in the City that had never been dedicated to homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and were currently on the City’s tax rolls. Staff was looking for a path forward to make these properties tax-exempt, which would have occurred had the developers followed through with dedicating them to the HOAs. Mr. Koenig advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2016-11, amending Sec. 202-182, included language that Mrs. Bundek and Mr. Pepper had provided that stated, "The City Assessor shall be empowered to grant tax exemption to and waive delinquent taxes on real property which has been required by the City of Dover to be set aside for public parkland or open space once the subdivision/phase of subdivision has reached 80% completion and/or street dedication, whichever occurs first, in concurrence with the City Manager. Any outstanding penalty or interest incurred as a result of unpaid taxes on said property shall be forgiven." Mr. Koenig stated that this amendment would provide an administrative path going forward to forgive delinquent taxes on these types of properties. Referring to the “Open Space Delinquent Accounts” report, he advised members that the ordinance would relate to properties in Westover and Heatherfield East, a small joint venture in Fox Meadows, as well as property owned by Robino-Sea Chase, LLC, with a total of just under $42,000 in outstanding taxes on these properties. With the adoption of this ordinance, these taxes could be wiped clean, the delinquent tax burden on the City of Dover could be reduced, and there would be an administrative remedy to take care of this problem in the future. Mr. Koenig stated that staff considered this to be an administrative clean-up of a longstanding problem. Mr. Neil stated his understanding that this land was supposed to be parkland or used for recreation and questioned if it was being used for this purpose. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated, for example, that in the early 1990's, a planned neighborhood design was completed for the Village of Westover which required a substantial amount of open space. This encompassed an estimated 20 plus acres of private open space that included walking paths, stormwater management ponds, and buffer areas between subdivisions that was intended to be dedicated to the HOA. Because the developer went bankrupt at some point, several pieces of the private open space were never turned over by deed to the HOA. Mr. Koenig stated his belief that the HOA

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 18 was mowing the grass and cleaning up the trash; however, they felt they had no responsibility for associated taxes, noting that private open space is exempt from taxes once turned over to the HOA. The Proposed Ordinance would not resolve the issue of actual ownership by deed but would resolve the associated delinquent tax issue. Mr. Koenig stated his belief that Heatherfield East had a small area of private open space that was less than one (1) acre, and other open spaces were very small residual pieces of land that may have trees but no associated maintenance. The Stoney Creek land included the stormwater management pond area. He informed members that these were pieces of land that cannot be built on by the ordinance or the plat of the subdivision and were just sitting and being taxed, indicating that this was a ghosting of taxes. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Koenig stated that the communities or associated properties were maintaining these areas but not paying taxes on them. In response to Ms. Maucher as to whether the provided list included all of the properties that would fall under this exemption, Mr. Koenig stated that these were all the properties that would currently qualify. By adopting this ordinance, these properties would be wiped off the list. If a new subdivision started construction and met the criteria for the property to become tax exempt, this could be done administratively from this point forward with the adoption of the ordinance. Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mr. Koenig confirmed that when a subdivision is built, it is private property owned by the developer who is responsible for taxes on the open space until such time as it is moved to the HOA. For example, he stated that if a new 40-lot subdivision had five (5) acres of private open space that included stormwater management ponds and park areas, staff would recommend that it stay taxable until the developer reaches 80% completion or turns the development over to the HOA. The developer would have a financial reason to want to progress in the development of the community since they have to pay taxes for the raw land. If the developer did not have to pay for the private open space, he would only be paying for platted lots, and the City wants to compel completion as soon as possible. Mr. Koenig noted that roads and utilities are not dedicated until a subdivision is about 80% complete under most circumstances. Staff’s intent was to try to tie the tax exemption to the time when the utilities and roads would typically be dedicated to the City of Dover. Ms. Maucher expressed concern that writing in the possibility for an exemption for forgiveness would encourage the developer not to pay because that exemption exists. In response, Mr. Koenig indicated that the exemption only exists from an administrative standpoint. If the developer did not pay on open space for which he had been carrying multiple years of delinquent property taxes, when he went to dedicate the infrastructure the City would require payment of all the back property taxes. He assured members that the City has a collection method as long as the developer stays a viable entity. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2016-11.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 19 The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2016-11 Amending Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article VI - Exemptions; Board of Assessment Appeals, Section 102-182 - Authority to Exempt Real Property from Taxation. By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Sudler absent). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting). Acknowledgment of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Violations - Dover Youth Advisory Committee Mr. Hare stated, for the record, that there had been Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) violations by the Youth Advisory Committee. Mr. Slavin informed members that the City had self-reported these FOIA violations in the past. During the Council meeting, Mr. Hare, Chair of the Committee, advised that there have been three (3) Freedom of Information Action (FOIA) violations related to the Youth Advisory Committee. He stated the need for the Committee to ensure that they provide the minutes of its meetings. Mr. Hare suggested that if the minutes are not received, they should discuss what they will do moving forward, noting that they cannot have a committee that cannot provide its minutes. Mr. Sudler asked who was responsible for taking the minutes. Responding, Mr. Anderson, liaison member of the Committee, advised that a member of the Youth Advisory Committee is the secretary. Noting that City staff prepares minutes for the Human Relations Commission, Mr. Sudler asked if the City should offer the same consideration to the Youth Advisory Committee. Responding, Council President Slavin stated that it was his understanding that when the Youth Advisory Committee was established, it was incumbent upon them to create their own minutes. Mr. Hare noted that the Committee has been provided a recording device and tapes to record the meetings. Mr. Anderson stated that the City Clerk’s Office was in possession of the recordings. He stated that he had some suggestions for improvements that he would like to take to the Committee of the Whole, such as making amendments and recruiting an adult member responsible for recording the meetings. Responding to Council President Slavin, Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, stated that, to her knowledge, the Clerk’s Office had not received the recordings for the Youth Advisory Committee meetings. Council President Slavin advised that his rule is that the City has no violations of FOIA as a body, nor our Committees nor our Commissions. It is not something that we tolerate. He stated that he appreciated the concerns that Councilman Hare raised and that he thought they needed to set a date by which we get these recordings. Council President Slavin stated that we either have a Committee that is going to play by the rules of government or we make a decision going forward.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 20 Mr. Cole agreed and suggested a 30 day progress report on the meeting minutes. Mr. Hare noted that a Youth Advisory Committee meeting was coming up requested that those minutes be included in the packet for the next Council meeting. Mr. Cole moved to have a progress report on the Youth Advisory Committee’s reporting of their minutes at the second Council meeting in April. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Mr. Sudler moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. MONTHLY REPORTS - JANUARY 2016 By motion of Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Cole, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: City Assessor's Report City Manager's Report City Planner's Report Controller/Treasurer's Budget Report Economic Development Office Report Fire Chief's Report Referring to the Police Chief's Report, Mr. Hosfelt stated that he reviewed the report and appreciated all of the effort that went into it. He noted that the traffic arrest numbers were up and traffic crashes were down. Mr. Hosfelt stated that he had some concerns with the fact that the complaint numbers for burglaries and robberies were up and requested Chief Bernat to provide an explanation. Police Chief Paul Bernat explained that the overall complaints were increased by 631 compared to the same time last year. He noted that an officer was receiving death threats; therefore, every two (2) hours officers were going out and checking his residence. Chief Bernat advised that checking every two (2) hours in a 24 hour day is 12 times a day for 31 days, which equals 372 extra complaints. He stated that the additional 259 were due to an uptick in several things, such as burglaries, which are at 31 for the first quarter compared with 81 total burglaries last year. Chief Bernat advised that they have solved 22 of the burglaries, which is an extraordinary clearance rate of 71%. Chief Bernat stated that there have been 17 robberies, compared with 50 last year, and 12 have been cleared, at a rate of 71%. Additionally, there have been eight (8) shootings and two (2) have been cleared, at a rate of 25%. Chief Bernat noted that, of those eight (8), only four (4) victims were cooperative. Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Bernat stated that the increases are definitely related to drugs, noting that marijuana is up over 100%, cocaine is up 185%, and heroin is up 875%.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 21 Mr. Sudler asked if Chief Bernat had met with the Dover Elks Lodge yet. Chief Bernat advised that they reached out to them but were having difficulty finding the management. Mr. Hosfelt moved to accept the Police Chief’s Monthly Report for January 2016. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. SETTING OF PROPERTY ASSESSMENT APPEALS Staff recommended that the 2016 Property Assessment Appeals be scheduled for May 23, 2016 through May 27, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.; May 31, 2016 through June 3, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.; and one (1) evening (if needed). Members were advised that the hearing times are subject to change. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the dates and times recommended by staff for the 2016 Property Assessment Appeals, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. EVALUATION OF BIDS - ANIMAL BOARDING SERVICES AGREEMENT Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised that the City of Dover Police Department was notified in December that the Kent County SPCA, operating as the First State Animal Shelter and SPCA, would no longer accept animals as of December 31, 2015 and the City was given 30 days to find an acceptable alternative. Mr. Koenig stated that, based on that correspondence, staff initiated conversations with both the Office of Animal Welfare at the State level and the Chester County SPCA, which is the statewide vendor for animal housing and control. The statewide contract was issued through a Request for Proposals (RFP) that was part of the State bidding process. Because the City of Dover has its own animal control program, the City was included in that contract. Mr. Koenig advised that staff did not anticipate the First State Animal Shelter going out of business. He noted that they have changed their business model to more of a boarding and doggy day care facility going forward and will no longer have a role in the sheltering of animals that are picked up under the animal control program. Mr. Koenig advised that staff had a telephone conference with Mr. Adam Lamb, Director, Chester County SPCA and, based on that conversation, the City entered into a 90-day contract for animal holding services. He stated that the contract will expire on March 31, 2016 and he proposed an extension of the contract through June 30, 2017 to allow time to develop a long-term solution for animal boarding services. Mr. Koenig advised that there are several options available, including bidding with the next round of State contracts for this service or another vending arrangement. Mr. Koenig stated that the estimated amount of the contract is $5,000 a month, which will be paid from the existing budget. He noted that the monthly fee for animal boarding services has been included in the draft budget, estimating the housing of 200 animals per year. Mr. Koenig advised that the numbers are being refined by the City’s animal control officer because the actual numbers are in the 160 to 170 range, which affects potential pricing going forward. Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to complete negotiations and execute a contract with the Chester County SPCA for a contract period of April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 at a target price of $5,000 per month for animal boarding services referenced in the draft agreement.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 22 Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Koenig stated that the only other contractor he talked to was the board president of the First State Animal Shelter and SPCA. He noted that other vendors were not called because, based on his discussions with the animal control officer and members of the Police Department, the Chester County SPCA is the only vendor in the state. Mr. Koenig advised that the Action Form should have indicated that they were the sole vendor. Mr. Hare asked who Kent County uses for animal boarding services. Mr. Koenig stated that they use the Chester County SPCA, the statewide vendor for these services. He advised that the services were taken over by the State of Delaware and Kent County pays Chester County directly because they were part of the statewide bidding of services. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that, to his knowledge, Dover and Wilmington are the only two (2) municipalities that have their own animal control program. Mr. Hare suggested consideration be given to letting the County or State provide this service for the City of Dover, noting that residents pay County taxes for this service. Mr. Koenig stated that it could be considered; however, there are a lot of intricacies to this issue. Mr. Anderson asked how long it would take to evaluate the option to let the County provide this service for the City. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that it could be considered when the statewide contract is up for renewal. He noted that the City’s animal control officer has a good relationship with the community because he is good about getting the animals back to their owners. Mr. Koenig advised that there have been complaints that animals taken to the Chester County SPCA are not kept long enough to provide an opportunity for recovery by the owners. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Koenig stated that, although it is called Chester County SPCA, the animals are actually taken to the Animal Inn in Smyrna, Delaware. Mr. Hosfelt asked how much the City of Wilmington pays per year for this service. Police Chief Paul Bernat indicated that the City of Wilmington pays $50,000 per month, or $600,000 per year. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Koenig stated that he did not think they had an option for the next year and that extending this contract was the option the City needed to take for this year to evaluate the best method going forward. Mr. Hare asked if the pet owner had to pay a fee to get their animal back. Mr. Koenig advised that he thought there were fees. He reiterated that the City’s animal control officer makes every attempt to return the animal. Mr. Koenig stated that if the dog has a microchip, the officer can obtain the name and location of that animal and try to return the animal to the residence. Mr. Neil moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation to authorize the City Manager to complete negotiations and execute a contract with the Chester County SPCA for a contract period of April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 at a target price of $5,000 per month for animal boarding services referenced in the draft agreement. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Sudler, Neil, Cole, Hosfelt, Hare, Hutchison, and Slavin) and two (2) no (Anderson and Lewis).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 23 APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CHRISTIANSEN - DOWNTOWN DOVER PARTNERSHIP BOARD OF DIRECTORS - WENDIE VESTFALL (TO FILL THE UNEXPIRED TERM OF CINDY SMALL - DOWNTOWN CULTURAL ARTS REPRESENTATIVE - TERM TO EXPIRE MAY 2018) Mayor Christiansen recommended the appointment of Wendie Vestfall to serve on the Downtown Dover Partnership Board of Directors for a term to expire May 2018 (to fill the unexpired term of Cindy Small). By consent agenda, Mr. Lewis moved for approval of the appointment of Wendie Vestfall, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Sudler absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 14, 2016 PAGE 25 By motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Hutchison, Council, by a unanimous roll call vote, adopted Ordinance #2016-07 (Exhibit #2). CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff is continuing to work on the collection of revenues related to utility billing and trying to emphasize the need for the City’s customers to get within the 21-day payment window. He also advised that staff is beginning work on the delinquent tax balances and the correlation with rental permit licenses and the implementation of the Clean Hands ordinances. Mr. Koenig advised that a number of properties have been scheduled for monition sales. Mr. Koenig reminded members of the Proposed Ordinance that will allow the City to write off some uncollectible open space tax delinquencies, which will provide a more realistic value of expected collections. He noted that other staff members are cross checking transactions with some of the customers to ensure money is being collected. Mr. Koenig stated that this has been an important issue due to the backlog of delinquency and staff is making progress in this area and will continue to do so. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Neil reminded members that, recently, the City of Dover received some very negative publicity in the newspapers from a youth soccer organization which raised some questions in his mind, such as how many of these young people who are involved in the program are actually from the City of Dover. Mr. Neil stated that he requested Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, to request the information by notarized list of addresses. He was also concerned with the monies that were collected by, presumably, a nonprofit or not for profit organization. Mr. Neil stated that he would like to see how that money basically was disbursed to determine whether the City was getting a fair return on the use of the fields or if the fields were too expensive. Mr. Neil advised that, since that time, all members of Council received a letter from the Dover YMCA expressing the fact that the use of those same fields has enabled them to expand their program, and they were very highly complimentary. He stated that he is very disturbed because the letter from the YMCA will not get the same publicity as the original story from the people who complained. Mr. Neil asked if Mrs. Townshend had heard from them yet. Responding, Mrs. Townshend advised that she had sent the request but had not received the information yet. Mr. Anderson announced that the City of Dover lost a great advocate for cost containment with the recent passing of Gregory Mazzotta. Mr. Lewis wished his constituents and the residents of the City of Dover a happy Easter and St. Patrick’s day. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Lewis and unanimously carried.

PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER The Public Information Officer (PIO) is a responsibility of the Public Affairs Office created in the fall of 2013. Cpl. Mark Hoffman, a 10-year veteran, is assigned to the position and is under the direct supervision of Captain Dave Spicer, the Operations Division Commander. The PIO is responsible for dissemination of information to the public and media outlets. This is primarily accomplished by publishing information and photos on the department’s web site, as well through the department’s social media platforms. The PIO maintains regular contact with journalists from newspaper, radio, and television and gives both telephone and in-person interviews and is responsible for website updates. Additionally, the Public Information Officer is often called upon to serve as emcee during functions such as the promotion and award ceremonies. In 2013, the department added social media platforms to the responsibilities of the PIO. Through programs such a Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, the MyPD Mobile App, and the RAIDS Online Crime Mapping program, the department has been able to connect with the citizens of Dover quickly and more efficiently than ever before. The PIO sends safety messages, public service announcements, crime alerts, educational videos, and more through the social media outlets. The PIO also assists in criminal investigations where evidence can be retrieved via social media. Since the inception of the program in October of 2013, the department has seen tremendous success in solving crimes, crime prevention, public communication and reputation management. The Public Affairs Office also works closely with the Community Policing Unit on various community outreach projects such as National Night Out, Holiday Heroes, coat drives, and community meetings. The office also partnered with NextDoor in October to launch the program in the City of Dover. The City of Dover is the 1st and only city in the state to officially launch NextDoor as a community engagement platform. The program has 754 registered members in 25 separate neighborhoods. The platform serves as a secure communication tool amongst residents in the individual communities and neighborhoods in the City of Dover and as another method of communicating concerns to the police department. The goal of the program is to provide a means of communication to citizens so neighbors get to know one another with the idea that “when neighbors know each other, they look out for each other.” The Public Affairs Office continued its Shoplifting Notification Program in 2015, which saw a decrease of 44 shoplifting calls from 2014 for a total of 929 calls, making 2015 the second straight year the number has been below 1,000, and the lowest total since 2009 when the department handled 848 shoplifting complaints. The ability to communicate directly to the public has led to success in solving crimes that may have gone unsolved prior to the department’s use of social media, but has also led to better relationships in the community we serve.

Planning, Inspections & Recreation 2015 Annual Report Introduction 2015 was an exciting year for the Department of Planning and Inspections and the Department of Parks and Recreation. The City saw signs of economic recovery, with several redevelopment projects along the Route 13 corridor. On January 11, 2015, Governor Jack Markell designated downtown Dover as one of three Downtown Development Districts. This designation sparked an increased interest in downtown Dover. Sev- eral small projects were completed or underway during 2015, but the seeds have been sown for some major redevelopment activity. Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity completed three new homes on South Kirk- wood Street, with two additional homes to be completed in the near future. The partnerships created under Restoring Central Dover have laid the groundwork for significant improvements to the central Dover neigh- borhoods. The Department of Parks and Recreation completed the Recreation Needs Assessment, which will be the basis of park planning and capital improvements over the next several years. A park plan was created for Mallard Pond Park, and the associated improvements will be completed in early 2016. The City installed air conditioning in the John W. Pitts Center, which was a much needed addition to improve our summer pro- gram offerings, including our Summer Playground and sports camps. The City partnered with the Dover YMCA and Holy Cross to initiate a new youth soccer league in the fall. The league was a huge success and was followed by an indoor soccer program on Friday evenings during the winter. As 2015 drew to a close, the departments were poised for even greater success in 2016.

The capital improvements to this City owned property include a new City street and utility infrastructure (water, sewer, and electric) to serve the Technical Park. The construction includes the loop road known as Garrison Oak Drive which interconnects to White Oak Road in two loca- tions and stormwater management facilities. Also a sanitary sewer pump station and water tower were un- der construction in 2015. There are three developed lots within the Technical Park including the Garrison Energy Center and the Uzin Utz Manufacturing facility that were completed in 2015. In Fall 2015, Plan- ning & Inspections Staff completed fieldwork to document the G. Parris Homestead (Delaware Cultural Resource Survey #K-6739). Located within the Garrison Oak Technical Park (Lot #13), this circa 1845 dwelling was documented by annotated measured drawings and photographs prior to its proposed demoli- tion.  Garrison Energy Center (Master Plan S-12-03/ Phase 1 S-12-17) -Throughout the year, the Planning Staff participated with other City Staff in coordination conference calls with Calpine regarding the Garri- son Energy Center project at 450 Garrison Oak Drive (Lot 7 of the Garrison Oak Technical Park). The pro- ject construction was in the final stages for the Garrison Energy Center Phase 1(S-12-17) in 2015. A rib- bon cutting/opening celebration event was held October 1st. The Planning Office also approved the Admin- istrative Site Plan (S-14-20) for the addition of a Fuel Oil Tank at the site following receipt of State DNREC permits. Associated with the project, a total of 378 trees (Tree Mitigation Plan) were planted in off-site locations in Dover including placement as street trees and within City parks.  Uzin Utz (Site Plan S-13-20) - In early 2015, building construction activities continued at the Uzin Utz Manufacturing facility at 200 Garrison Oak Drive (Lot 12 of the Garrison Oak Technical Park. (S-13-20) The staff of the Planning, Inspections, and Fire Marshal’s Office met often with the developer and contrac- tors to assess project progress and to address project issues. In late May, the final inspections began and a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was issued in July. Start-up operations of the Uzin Utz Manufactur- ing facility began and a Final Certificate of Occupancy was issued in August. In September, Staff attended the ribbon cutting/grand opening event celebrating the Uzin Utz Manufacturing facility.  Other Construction Activities - A significant number of large construction projects began or were pro- gressing in 2015. To begin each project, the Planning Staff conducts a City of Dover Pre-Construction meeting to introduce project managers and contractors to the various City departments and construction permitting and inspection procedures. The following are project activities in 2015:  Dover Town Center project: The construction activities for the renovation of the commercial build- ing at 1574 North DuPont Highway (old Walmart location) began in August. The main building is un- 12

der renovation to divide it into multiple tenant spaces along with a series of site improvements for parking, pedestrian circulation and landscaping. (S-15-04) On September 19th, the Planning Commis- sion granted conditional approval of a Revised Site Plan for revisions to two proposed pad site build- ings on the property. (S-15-13)  Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office project: Construction commenced on a new dental office building to be located at 1088 South State Street for the Dover Family Cosmetic Dental Office. This is development of a vacant commercial property. (S-14-16)  Westminster Health Care Center: Involves a major interior renovation/rehabilitation project at the facility on McKee Road.  State Street Commons project: The construction activities continued for the tenant fit-out of the State Street Commons building located southwest of the intersection of South State Street and Water Street. It will become offices for several sections of DNREC.  Edgewell facility project: A 40,000 S.F. building addition project at the Energizer Personal Care Di- vision-Playtex Products (Edgewell) facility at 185 Saulsbury Road. (S-14-19)  Leander Lakes Apartments project: Site work progressed on land grading and stormwater manage- ment ponds and construction began on the first phase of buildings for the 240 unit apartment complex to be located south of Forrest Avenue/Route 8 and west of Dover High Drive. During 2015 permits were issued for six (6) apartment buildings, the Community Center Building and the associated pool. The project also includes the construction of the next segment of Dover High Drive to connect to Trib- bitt Street. (S-12-18)  New Showroom & Service Building for Winner Dover Volkswagen at 1387 North DuPont High- way: Project includes construction of new showroom and service building along with renovations to the existing Subaru showroom and service building. (S-14-05)  New Dover High School project: Project work remained to complete the site improvements at the new Dover High School for the baseball/softball field areas, eastern areas of the site, tree plantings, and other site stabilization work. Temporary Certificates of Occupancy are in place with conditions and limitations on the authorized use of the high school building and the stadium and athletic field are- as. (C-10-05/S-11-18)  Multi-Family Projects: Construction activities are underway at several multi-family residential pro- jects including: the redevelopment of Walker Woods as the Village of McKee Branch (S-13-18), and the re-start of construction at the Tall Pines project at 1655 and 1665 Kenton Road (S-14-18). 13

The Historic District Commission held seven meetings in 2015. The Historic District Commission reviewed eight (8) applications for Architectural Review Certificates or as informational items in 2015. This included the referral of two Sign Permits and a one Building Permit to the Historic District Commission for review of the proposals. Sign proposals involved the properties at 6 South State Street (offices) and Woodburn (Governor’s House) on Kings Highway (HI-15-03 and HI-15-02). The Building Permit was related to con- struction a drive-up ATM at PNC Bank (HI-15-04). One project was reviewed for Architectural Review Certi- fication involving construction of a tree sculpture on the grounds of the Biggs Museum of American Art (HI- 15-05). In February, the commercial building at 312 West Loockerman Street was determined as Demolition by Neglect (HI-15-06). Informational items included the permit for The Santa House to be located on Loocker- man Way (HI-15-07) and a presentation on the initial concepts for the Bradford Street Streetscape Enhance- ments project (HI-15-08). Of the fifty-eight (58) permits in the Historic District in 2015, a total of forty-two (42) permits required Architec- tural Review Certification review for such projects as signs, temporary signs, roof and window replacement projects, and exterior finish/siding/trim work renova- tions. The construction activities in the Historic District in- volved renovations to existing historic buildings. Follow- ing renovations including exterior repairs and painting, the building at 140 South State Street reopened as a res- taurant known as the Grey Fox Grille. With limited exte- rior changes, the buildings at 109 East Division Street and 15 Kings Highway NE were renovated from resi- dences into professional office spaces (C-14-04 and C-15-01). The mid-twentieth century commercial building at 312 West Loockerman Street was declared Demolition by Neglect and a Dangerous Building; it was ulti- mately demolished in November 2015 after the owner took no action to repair the building (HI-15-06).

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held on March 15, 2016, at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Slavin (departed at 7:07 p.m.) presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole, Mr. Hosfelt, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Lewis was absent. Mayor Christiansen was present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell and Mrs. Horsey (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), and Mr. Shevock and Ms. Maucher (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Councilman Anderson presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Hosfelt and unanimously carried. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application Review Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, advised members that the Planning Staff had provided the proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation recommendations for the FY16 CDBG grant renewal and that proposed grant funding recommendations would be allocated to the sub-grantees that were awarded multi-year grants from the approved 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. She stated that $236,509 in funding was available for FY16 based on the grant allocation of $227,955 and anticipated program income of $8,554. Mrs. Harvey explained that 20% of the grant would be used for program administration to manage the CDBG program and up to 15%, with a maximum of $35,476, would be applied to public service activities. Mrs. Harvey reviewed a brief description of the programs proposed by the City’s Community Development Office for funding, stating that allocations were recommended by Staff as follows: Current Recommended 2016 Grant Projects Grant Request Amount Amount Homeownership Assistance Program $60,000 $60,000 $50,000 Program Administration $47,342 $47,005 $47,301 Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing $27,000 $27,000 $22,000 Connections Community Support Program $15,000 $7,391 $7,208 Milford Housing Development Corporation (Emergency Home Repairs) $40,000 $35,262 $25,000 Milford Housing Development Corporation (Homeowner Rehabilitation) $60,000 $52,892 $55,000 Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity $40,000 $40,000 $30,000 Total $289,342 $269,550 $236,509

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Hosfelt, Mrs. Harvey confirmed that 20% of the grant would be used for program administration and would cover the salaries of those managing the grant, including her own. Mr. Hosfelt questioned what public service activities 15% of the grant would be applied to. Responding, Mrs. Harvey explained that the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing and Connections Community Support programs provide public service activities and would comprise up to 15% of the grant. Mr. Neil asked if the City’s Homeownership Assistance Program involved people who are cleared by the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research (NCALL) to purchase their homes through Habitat for Humanity. In response, Mrs. Harvey explained that the Homeownership Assistance Program is separate from Habitat for Humanity, which does their own financing and holds mortgages. In response to Mr. Anderson’s request for further information on the Homeownership Assistance Program, Mrs. Harvey explained that this program provides up to $20,000 in settlement assistance for first-time homebuyers to purchase affordable housing within the City of Dover. Mr. Neil questioned how applicants for the Homeownership Assistance Program are cleared, how they go about reaching out for funds, and how they know that funds are available to them. Mrs. Harvey stated that a Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued every five (5) years for different organizations to apply for the CDBG program. Information is emailed, advertised, distributed by press releases, and posted on the City’s website. Mr. Anderson asked if applicants for the City’s homeownership program are qualified through NCALL. Responding, Mrs. Harvey informed members that NCALL provides housing counseling but does not provide grants for affordable housing. She explained that the normal process is for an applicant to first go through NCALL to see if they are eligible and to ensure that they have a credit score of at least 620, are a first time homebuyer, and meet other program guidelines. Applicants are then referred to the City of Dover. In response to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Harvey confirmed that there is a partnership between the City and NCALL. Mrs. Horsey noted that in the past members had heard presentations from all of the CDBG sub-grantees regarding their programs. She questioned the reason for the decrease in the overall amount of money budgeted for these programs. Responding, Mrs. Harvey stated that more funding was available for projects in FY 15 because there was no need to fund program administration due to a rollover of funds from FY 14. Mr. Sudler questioned the reason for the difference between the $27,000 requested and the $22,000 proposed for the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. Responding, Mrs. Harvey stated that applicants can request any amount; however, the amount of grant funds awarded is limited to what

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 3 is allocated in the budget. She explained that cuts in funding were proposed for all of the projects due to decreased funding available this year. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the CDBG cycle, Mrs. Harvey explained that projects were in the second year of a five (5) year cycle. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend acceptance of the proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations for FY16, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Review of Active Recreation Area Plan - The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments - 1051 College Road (Planning Reference S-16-07) Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, advised members that The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments Active Recreation Plan was being reviewed as part of the site plan review process. The proposed residential development consisted of a garden apartment building with a total of 48 dwelling units. She indicated that the property was located on the north side of College Road just northwest of the intersection with McKee Road. This property had been through the review process multiple times since 2005; however, in each instance the plan had expired before the project commenced. Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that there had been changes in the property’s ownership over the years. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that there is a requirement for residential developments to provide recreational amenities to residents, stating that the Code sets forth the rate at which an active recreation area must be provided. In this case, 150 sq. ft. of active recreation area must be provided per dwelling unit. With 48 dwelling units proposed, a minimum of 10,000 sq. ft. of active recreation area must be provided. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the proposed project would provide the required amount of recreation, which would be established in two (2) distinct areas, one (1) located close to the building and the other located on the west side of the property, across what would be a City street known as Senior Way. There would be a walking path with a series of benches and pathway lighting, and a gazebo was also proposed. Mrs. Melson-Williams advised members that the applicant had provided a revised Active Recreation Area Plan that tweaked some of the elements of the project on March 14, 2016 (Attachment #1). She stated that the chipped stone walking path had been changed to a concrete surface, following staff’s recommendation, and minor changes related to parking issues had been made to the plan. Mrs. Melson-Williams indicated that the applicant had looked at providing a safer crossing at the Senior Way entrance area and was proposing a mid-block crosswalk system that would be further reviewed by the City’s Public Works Department as to appropriate traffic control. She noted that the applicant had also updated their plan utilizing an active recreation area calculation rate of 150 sq. ft. per dwelling unit, as required for this type of project, rather than the typical 275 sq. ft. per dwelling unit that was included in their original proposal. Mrs. Melson-Williams advised members that Planning Department staff had put forth a number of recommendations regarding the project. She stated that the project meets the area requirements and staff felt the proposed amenities were appropriate for this type of residential development. She

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 4 advised members that their task was to make recommendations in regard to the proposed active recreation area plan to be provided to the Planning Commission for consideration as the project site plan is reviewed. Responding to Mr. Hosfelt, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the proposal was for one (1), three (3) story, U-shaped building with 48 units. In response to Mr. Hosfelt regarding how the required square footage was determined, Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the requirement was based on dwelling units and the applicant was required to provide 150 sq. ft. of active recreation area per dwelling unit. Mr. Hosfelt asked if the neighboring areas, such as Hidden Oaks, were notified of the project. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that neighboring areas are notified of the filing of the site plan application and will have an opportunity to participate in the public hearing that will be conducted during the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for later in the month. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that there would not be fencing around the recreational area. She explained that the proposal includes a walking path that meanders through an open area and there are a number of landscape plantings in the form of trees that would provide a buffer area. She noted that this property is adjacent to other residential uses. Mrs. Horsey stated her assumption that Senior Way would become a way in and out for other housing developments. She asked if the northern part of the walking path would have a marked crosswalk. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams indicated that the revised plan for the project showed the inclusion of a marked crosswalk. She explained that, since Senior Way was proposed as a City street, the Planning Department would be working with the Public Works Department to provide appropriate traffic control measures for a mid-block crossing. She anticipated that there would be a pedestrian crossing sign but did not believe a full stop condition would be implemented at the location. Mr. Neil asked who would maintain the area across the street from the apartments and if this would be the responsibility of the apartment owner. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams informed members that this was considered one (1) tract of land that was divided by the right-of-way for the road, so the management of the apartment complex would be responsible for maintaining the landscaping, walking path, and grass. Responding to Mr. Hosfelt, Mrs. Melson-Williams confirmed that the proposed street would connect to the Emerald Pointe subdivision. She explained that when Emerald Pointe was laid out, the developer was required to provide stub roads to all vacant adjacent properties. This project would pick up the stub road from Emerald Pointe and extend it to College Road. Mr. Anderson asked if the City would be responsible for providing pedestrian signs for the crosswalk. In response, Mrs. Melson-Williams indicated that the developer typically incurs the cost of constructing the road to City street standards. She felt that sidewalk traffic control measures, such

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 5 as stop signs and street name blades, would be provided by the developer to the City’s standards before the City would take ownership of the road. Mr. Hosfelt moved to recommend approval of the Active Recreation Area Plan for The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments with the comments and conditions provided by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Update - Residential Appeal Process and Non-Compliant Non-Conforming Uses During their meeting of January 11, 2016, Council approved the Committee’s recommendation that Staff be requested to prepare a residential appeal process and to also look at those properties within City limits that are clearly non-compliant with the uses to be reviewed by the Committee during their March meeting. During the Council Committee of the Whole/Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting of March 14, 2016, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that the first step in this process would be to determine the degree of the problem with non-conforming uses by finding out how many such uses exist. She advised that her staff had been working with the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) staff in the Public Works Department, and they are in the process of developing an application that would allow the City’s planners to go into the field and document non-conforming uses. Mrs. Townshend stated that staff could then determine which of the non-conforming uses would be permitted as a conditional use, noting that multi-family residential uses would not be permitted any longer in certain residential zones. From that point, a strategy could be developed on how to attrition non-conforming uses. In response to Mr. Sudler regarding how long this process would take, Mrs. Townshend stated that it would probably be another couple of weeks before GIS staff could have the application ready for field use, and there would be a few weeks of field work. She anticipated the process would take approximately two (2) to three (3) months. Mayor Christiansen asked if there was a paper trail for these non-conforming properties or if it had been assumed by the Planning Department and Mayor and Council that exceptions to the rules in place were granted for these properties. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated her belief that there was very little in the way of a paper trail on most properties. She stated that some non-conforming uses had existed in the 1960s prior to the implementation of the City’s zoning ordinance. In other cases, uses such as conversion of single-family homes to apartments had happened in the 1990s and earlier, and Mrs. Townshend advised members that the City’s documentation from those days was not as strong as it is today. Mayor Christiansen asked if the City Solicitor had been consulted and apprised of the lack of documentation for these properties, noting that litigation could be involved. He suggested that the Solicitor provide an opinion regarding the City’s legal stance on conditional use without documentation.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 6 Mrs. Townshend clarified that these were non-conforming uses rather than conditional uses and had existed prior to the current standard. She advised members that she had a number of discussions with Mr. Nicholas Rodriguez, City Solicitor, and Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, and they all agreed that before a strategy could be determined on how to phase out or address non- conforming uses, there was a need to know how many there are and the nature of the various uses. Mayor Christiansen felt that there may be a maintenance of standards issue and that questions might arise if a non-conforming use had persisted for an extended time and the City suddenly changed its approach. He questioned if there would be a grandfathering provision. Mrs. Townshend informed members that an existing section in the Code addresses non-conforming uses and sets up grandfathering. These Code provisions state that a non-conforming use can continue to exist in perpetuity; however, it cannot be expanded and if it has ceased for a period of one (1) year, it cannot be re-established. Mrs. Townshend indicated that there is language in the Code that sunsets non-conforming uses in residential zones 20 years after adoption of the ordinance or 40 years after the commencement of the use. She stated that Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, had looked into the history of the ordinance, and it was difficult to determine the onset of the 20- and 40-year periods. Mrs. Townshend indicated that staff would first identify where non-conforming uses are and then look at existing Code to determine if there is enough language to address them. If there is not enough language to address them, staff would determine if there is a need to modify the Code and then develop a method of better documenting or registering non-conforming uses so they can be better tracked in the future. Mrs. Townshend noted that a series of actions was needed and the first step would be to figure out how big the problem is. She stated the need to be consistent and legally defensible and not to phase out some uses without looking at the whole picture. In response to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Townshend stated that non-conforming uses were addressed in Appendix B, Article 7 of the Dover Code. She confirmed that the Code was created by City Council and there was nothing in it that was immutable and would take away Council’s right to amend, correct, or alter that section of the Code. Mrs. Townshend stated her expectation that staff would be looking at Code changes that would give better control with regard to non-conforming uses as a result of considering this issue. Mr. Slavin stated his belief that a provision would probably be suggested that would sunset all non-conforming uses at the same time, and asked if property owners with a non-conforming use would be given the opportunity to pursue a conditional use at that time. In response, Mrs. Townshend explained that if the specific type of use was stated as a conditional use in the zoning ordinance, this could be done. She stated that another alternative would be to sunset non- conforming uses after one (1) or two (2) years unless the Board of Adjustment grants otherwise; however, it could create an influx of applications to the Board of Adjustment. Mrs. Townshend advised that this alternative would provide documentation of every non-conforming use that is allowed to stay, the reason why, and a public process. Mr. Slavin stated his belief that the root cause that the City was trying to get to was non-conforming use, not the creation of paperwork to allow non-conforming use. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that some of the non-conforming uses included churches, schools, and other types of facilities.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 7 Mr. Slavin stated that if there were an influx of conditional use applications, there might be a desire to consider changes to existing Code regarding conditional uses. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Townshend explained that there is not a sunset period for conditional use, unless the use stops or there is a failure to abide by the conditions, in which case the matter would go back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Slavin stated that it would not be desired to move the problem from non-conforming use to conditional use. He encouraged staff to think about changes to the ordinance regarding conditional use that would set up a new conditional use from a set point forward with an automatic sunset. If people want to continue that conditional use, they would have to prove this need again, without the process being too burdensome. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated her belief that this could be done. Mr. Hare expressed his understanding that a non-conforming use that had been in effect for 15 years could be continued; however, if the property was sold or disposed of, it could no longer be non-conforming. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that use was not tied to ownership. She explained, for example, that if a property was sold to another party, as long as they continued in operation the use could continue. If the original property owner ceased operation and then sold the property, the new owner could not reestablish the non-conforming use. Mr. Sudler questioned how staff would handle a situation where neither the City nor the property owner could produce documentation regarding a non-conforming use. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained that the City never grants property a status as a non-conforming use. She stated, for example, that a property might have been zoned commercial; however, at some point the City determined, usually through the comprehensive plan process, that the property should not be commercial but residential and rezoned the property, which resulted in the creation of a non-conforming use. Mrs. Townshend advised members that in the 1960s there was not clear documentation of when these changes happened, and zoning maps and zoning text must be researched. Alternatively, she stated that in 1990 it was legal to divide a home into two (2) or three (3) apartments in the General Residence Zone (RG-1); however, in 2003, the Code was changed and this was no longer allowed. A property may have continued to be zoned RG-1, but the City had changed the uses allowed there. Mr. Sudler asked if the City puts a condition on how long the use will remain when it creates such non-conforming uses. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that Article 7 of the zoning ordinance states that non-conforming uses can remain; however, certain uses in the residential zone have a specific sunset. Responding to Mr. Sudler as to whether there was anything in the ordinance language that refers to the number of complaints received about a non-conforming use, Mrs. Townshend stated that there was not. Mr. Sudler felt that this should be considered, stating that the number of complaints generated from the neighborhood or residential area would give the City more leeway to address non-conforming uses.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 8 Mrs. Townshend stated that it would be within Council’s purview to make such an amendment to the Code. Mr. Neil asked if staff runs into problems with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance when checking non-conforming uses. Mrs. Townshend stated that this would probably not be an issue since ADA compliance only comes into play with regard to the City as it relates to building code and if modifications are being made to properties. Mr. Anderson noted that there were properties that were approaching or past the 40-year sunset, stating that this would be the answer to those who questioned why the use would be enforced at this time. He advised members that, in some cases, properties were 45 or 50 years past the implementation of the ordinance. Mr. Anderson questioned if staff planned to start with properties that were most likely not in compliance, such those from the 1960s and 1970s, and then move forward. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend reiterated that the first step would be to document uses which staff knows to be non-conforming, estimating that this would involve a few hundred properties. After developing a list, staff could look at the zoning, permitting, and utility histories to get a picture of how property had been used. Mrs. Townshend explained that a property may have been operating since 1974 but may not have been rezoned until 1996. She stated that staff would have to review those properties that look as though they should have been sunsetted and verify that there had not been an action that legitimized the use. Mrs. Townshend advised members that staff’s focus at this point was on residential zones since these zones were a higher priority and have the most significant impact on a community if they are not compatible with the character of the zone. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to see a public safety component in the Code amendments. He felt that there should be a venue for residents to appeal when their safety is at risk because of a non-conforming use, such as excessive traffic, crime, or another public safety issue. Mr. Sudler stated that this issue had been discussed by the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee, noting that at least one (1) non-conforming property had generated some complaints. Mr. Hosfelt, Chair of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee, indicated that this particular matter could be discussed during a Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting if Mr. Anderson desired; however, he agreed with Mr. Anderson’s thoughts on including a public safety component in the amendments. Citizen Suggestions There were no citizens present wishing to speak. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hosfelt and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 9 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Hare presiding. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Acknowledgment of Benefit Change for Non-Bargaining Employees - Article XVII Employee Benefits, Section 3 - Deferred Income (City of Dover Personnel Policy) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that with Council’s recent approval of the Dover Organization of Employees (DOE) labor agreement for July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018, changes were made to the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan retirement benefit. He explained that language in the City of Dover Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook) indicated that changes to this benefit would affect non-bargaining employees. Mr. Koenig indicated that, by a strict reading of the Handbook, this benefit had been extended to the non-bargaining group; however, during DOE contract discussions he had committed to bring this matter before Council because of the need to make amendments to the language going forward. Mr. Koenig reviewed proposed amendments to Article XVII Employee Benefits, Section 3 - Deferred Income of the City of Dover Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook). Mr. Koenig reviewed the current mandatory contribution and maximum matching City contribution percentages, along with the negotiated and approved increases for DOE employees as follows: Current Employee Negotiated Current City Negotiated Mandatory Employee Matching City Matching Contribution Mandatory Contribution Contribution Contribution (Up to) (Up to) 2016, Upon 3% 4% 6% 7% approval July 1, 2016 3% 5% 6% 8% July 1, 2017 3% 6% 6% 9% Mr. Koenig explained that the proposal for non-bargaining employees would be to increase the mandatory employee and City contributions to the same levels as those for DOE employees. Mr. Koenig stated that, based on a legal opinion obtained from Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, DOE employee contributions could be made immediately since the City has a legal contract with DOE to fall back on. Mr. Pepper had indicated that if Council accepts the recommended change to the Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook), a Code amendment will need to be adopted to memorialize the change for non-bargaining contributions. Mr. Koenig advised members that Staff was working on this Code amendment.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 10 Mr. Koenig reviewed the costs associated with extending this benefit to non-bargaining employees as follows: Non-Bargaining Must Potential Over 9% Total 2016, Upon Additional $974 $3,968 $1,608 $6,550 approval 1% July 1, 2016 Additional $5,629 $22,924 $9,290 $37,843 2% (1+1) July 1, 2017 Additional $8,443 $34,386 $13,935 $56,764 3% (1+1+1) Total $15,046 $61,278 $24,833 $101,157 Mr. Koenig advised members that when this table was originally developed, there were 45 non-bargaining employees, two (2) in the Police Pension Plan, 14 in the Defined Benefit Plan, and 29 in the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan. The table was based on cost estimates for 29 employees from the end of February 2016 through the current budget year. Mr. Koenig explained that the costs of $974 and $1,608 were known costs. He stated that the estimated total cost of this benefit for FY 16 would be less than the $6,550 total reflected since some employees had left the organization and since it was now past the end of February 2016 and the proposed changes would not be backdated. Mr. Koenig stated that the maximum cost was estimated at $16,000 to $37,000 for FY 17 and approximately $56,764 for FY 18. He advised members that estimates were developed using the current employees in the plan and projecting expenses. Mr. Koenig indicated that estimates were not exact since non-bargaining positions that were currently vacant were not included in the calculation and some employees would likely leave, resulting in salaries being reset. Staff recommended adopting the revised matching contributions for non-bargaining employees and approving the following changes to the City of Dover Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook): 1) Change the reference of Public Employees Benefit Services Corporation (PEBSCO) to Nationwide Retirement Solutions. 2) Insert the following language: “Employees enrolled in the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan shall make contributions in accordance with the Plan Document for each individual group of employees.” 3) Change the reference of “Employee Labor Agreements when applicable” to “the Plan Document for each individual group of employees.”

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 11 4) Insert “full-time” to correspond to Chapter 2 - Administration, Article IV - Officers and Employees, Division 8 - Deferred Compensation Plan, Section 2-391 - Definitions of the Dover Code. Mr. Koenig advised members that staff had found that cleaning up the ordinances became very complicated very quickly and the proposed ordinance change would be much more comprehensive than initially anticipated; however, he indicated that the amendments would be presented at the next Council Committee of the Whole meeting. Mr. Sudler questioned what prompted the initiative to extend the provisions to non-bargaining employees. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that the discussion in the DOE labor negotiations prompted a change to the retirement benefit for DOE employees and the existing language in the Personnel Policy required further discussion for non-bargaining employees from an ethical standpoint. Mr. Koenig stated that there had always been a question as to whether the City Manager or anyone else on the labor contract negotiating team is negotiating for themselves if a benefit is extended to non-bargaining employees. He explained that the Defined Benefit Pension Plan was closed in 2009; therefore, every new City employee hired in general government, other than new police officers, is in the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan. Mr. Koenig stated that new police officers are part of the State municipal police plan; therefore they continue to participate in a defined benefit plan and the City pays a percentage of payroll to the State for this. He indicated that the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan is the retirement vehicle for City employees moving into the future. Recent discussions had been held about employees who are putting in the minimum contribution of 3%, which the City matches, but this does not provide the amount of contributions that would be required for employees to retire from service. He expressed concern that City employees could work for 25 or 30 years and not have the financial ability to retire. Mr. Koenig noted that this benefit was also important from an employee retention standpoint. Mr. Koenig explained that the contributions for the State municipal police pension fund are approximately 15% of payroll. Contributions for the General Employee Pension Fund (Defined Benefit Pension Plan) are approximately 40% of payroll; therefore, the City contributes 40% in addition to an employee’s salary to fund that plan, part of which is the normalized cost and part is catch-up related to market performance. Mr. Koenig advised members that the proposed change to the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan would slowly push the employee minimum contribution to 6% and increase the maximum City match from 6% to 9%. Under any circumstances, the maximum that the City would contribute to an employee’s retirement would be 9%, which would be significantly less than the 15% or the 40% plus match contributed for employees in other plans. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Koenig confirmed that a two (2) step process was proposed; first, the Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook) language must be changed and then ordinance changes related to the amendments that were proposed for DOE and related to non-bargaining employees must also be made. He indicated that if this proposal did not go forward, the City still had the legal

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 12 means and requirement to enact the DOE contribution changes due to the City’s contract with DOE. Mr. Koenig explained that, in the interest of full disclosure, Staff was trying to get everyone on the same page regarding the potential benefit change and ordinances would be brought forward for consideration at the next Committee meeting to support these proposals. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig confirmed that there would be changes to the Dover Code but not Charter changes, so no State authorization would be needed. Mr. Hare questioned how many of the 29 employees in the 401A plan were at the maximum contribution level. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that there were at least six (6) employees who were at the minimum contribution level, four (4) who were over 9%, and a group of people in the middle. He confirmed that those employees who were over 9% were currently being matched at the 6% level. Mr. Hare stated his understanding that the negotiation with DOE was to help lower-income people save more money toward their pension. Responding, Mr. Koenig indicated that there was a very large concern that a number of the participants in DOE, not only those with lower incomes, would not be in a position to retire after working in their careers with the City. In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig explained that DOE employees’ minimum contributions would increase from 3% to 4%, and subsequently to 5% and then 6%. The maximum 7% City contribution would become effective almost immediately for DOE employees but would not be effective for non-bargaining employees until the ordinances are finalized. It would take two (2) years to attain the 9% maximum City contribution. Mr. Hare suggested that if the City was negotiating with DOE for this benefit or on other matters, perhaps Mr. Koenig should not be doing the negotiating since this would benefit him in the long run. Responding, Mr. Koenig indicated that this was a decision that Council could make. He explained that under normal circumstances, the City Manager is typically not considered a regular employee; however, in this case because he came up through the organization, he had always been an employee. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of the proposed amendments to Article XVII Employee Benefits, Section 3 - Deferred Income of the City of Dover Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook), as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole. Mr. Slavin expressed concern that changing the Employee Handbook language would lock Council in on ordinance language, which may create a conflict if the ordinance is not adopted. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that this could be remedied by saying that the Handbook changes would not become effective until the related ordinances are adopted. Mr. Anderson agreed to amend the motion to indicate that the Handbook changes would not become effective until the ordinances are adopted, and Mr. Cole concurred. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to consider setting a maximum cap for the City’s contribution, perhaps $8,000 or $9,000 in a given year.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 13 Mr. Hare stated his belief that other cities in the State do not contribute 9%. He noted that employees did have the option to stay in the Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig stated that some employees had the option to stay in the Defined Benefit Pension Plan; however, employees that had been hired since 2009 did not have an option. Mr. Hare stated that prior to 2009 all employees had the option to stay in the Defined Benefit Pension Plan or participate in the Deferred Compensation Pension Plan/401A Money Purchase Plan, and concurred with Mr. Anderson’s suggestion to consider setting a maximum cap for the City’s contribution. The motion to recommend approval of the proposed amendments to Article XVII Employee Benefits, Section 3 - Deferred Income of the City of Dover Personnel Policy (Employee Handbook), as recommended by staff, and that the changes to the Handbook not become effective until the ordinance amendments are adopted was unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2016-14 Amending Appendix B - Zoning, Article 6 - Off-Street Parking, Driveways and Loading Facilities, Section 5 - Supplementary Regulations for Parking and Loading Facilities, Subsection 5.3 - Supplementary Parking Regulations for Multiple Dwellings, Including Duplexes, Multiplexes, and Apartments Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2016-14, stating that it would clean up a section in the parking requirements where the language references “Supplementary parking regulations for multiple dwellings including duplexes, multiplexes, and apartments.” Staff had determined that specifying housing types was probably not consistent with practice, noting that this section of Code mentioned duplexes and went on to say that “No parking shall be located in any front yard or within three (3) feet of any property line or any lot line in side or rear yards.” Mrs. Townshend explained that in neighborhoods with duplexes there are many cases where there are driveways in the front as well as side-by-side driveways to implement fewer curb cuts. She advised members that it had been identified that: 1) including duplexes in this provision did not make practical sense and was contrary to the way that duplex lots would normally be laid out, and 2) the language, “including duplexes, multiplexes, and apartments” creates possible challenges and inconsistencies throughout the Code. Mrs. Townshend stated that the proposed text amendment would end the introduction of Subsection 5.3 after “multiple dwellings”, which is defined in the zoning ordinance. In this way, multiple dwellings would not be treated inconsistently throughout the zoning ordinance. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend stated that there was not a reference in the Code regarding how many vehicles could park at a single-family house. Mr. Hare indicated that he would like to see this addressed, noting that some single-family dwellings have up to nine (9) cars parked both in the driveway and on the street. Mrs. Townshend explained that language would have to be developed as a separate amendment for Chapter 106, since it relates to parking on public streets. She stated that there could be a provision to limit the number of vehicles that could be parked on the street and registered to an address.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2016 PAGE 14 Noting that this may not apply to the current ordinance, Mr. Hare requested that Mrs. Townshend bring such an ordinance forward. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Ordinance #2016-14, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Hosfelt and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:11 p.m. Timothy A.

COMMITTEE ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: City Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Electric Department DATE SUBMITTED: 03/17/2016 PREPARED BY: Paul Waddell, Engineering & Systems Operations Superintendent SUBJECT: Evaluation of Proposals - Overhead Line Work (#16-0032EL) REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: Electric Director, City Manager EXHIBITS: Exhibit A – Staff Evaluation; Exhibit B – Tabulation EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: As Required AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Possibly all “Contractual Services” operation budgets such as 480-8200-562-30-31 (Electric T&D); 480-8300-563-30-31 (Electric Eng.); or CIP project funding if applicable. Expenditures for these services over the last five (5) years have totaled $403,901 of which $158,480 was bid separately for Garrison Oak Technical Park 69 kV line relocation. TIMETABLE: Contract to be issued upon final approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding a blanket Overhead Line Work contract to Rock Creek Line Construction, Greensboro, MD, for three (3) year initial period based on the staff evaluation. The Electric Director, with the concurrence of the City Manager, can exercise options to extend the contract in one (1) year increments for a total contract period of five (5) years per the pricing included in the submittal. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Electric Department maintains blanket contracts with contractors to ensure that the bidding rules are adhered to for any contractors that might be hired to perform work for the Public Works & Electric Departments. These contracts are priced as “time and material” contracts. This proposal is for Overhead Line Work services to include scheduled and unscheduled work on the electric distribution and transmission systems, rebuilding of pole lines required by City crews work load and emergency situations as required. Originally, these services were solicited and advertised according to City Policy by the City’s Contract and Procurement Manager under Proposal #16-0018EL earlier in the current fiscal year and the City received one (1) submission. Staff re-released the request as #16-0032EL and this effort resulted in submission from six (6) companies. All of the submissions were complete and the potential vendors were deemed to be capable and competent; therefore, pricing was the determining factor for award. The primary function of this contract is to provide overhead line work in scheduled and unscheduled situations and in cases of emergencies caused by catastrophic failure and/or natural disasters. Evaluating scenarios consisted of pricing two (2) actual jobs completed in the last five (5) years. In addition, the submissions were graded by three (3) employees familiar the work using criteria related to location, experience, response time, and price. Based the review, the staff is recommending that the contract be awarded to Rock Creek Line Construction, Greensboro, MD. The following table is a summary of the scenario pricing: Bidder Scenario* Bidder Scenario* Rock Creek Line $52,487/$17,269 Blue Hen Utility $73,642/$22,832 Construction East Coast $65,416/$20,439 CW Wright $74,040/$24,848 Underground AUI $71,381/$22,919 G.A.

The financial shortfall ($42,000) will be covered by a budget transfer from project ST1601 – Street, Concrete and Alley Program, Account No.: 147-1800-554.40-31. TIMETABLE: Upon approval, project design shall be completed by the end of June 2016. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council approval of the proposed amendments to the design scope by AECOM / URS in the amount of $42,000. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This project, which was approved by Council in both the “Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015”, and “FY2015-2016 Annual Operating Budget with 2016-2020 Capital Investment Plan”, was authorized to begin design work on September 23, 2014. The original project has two (2) separate locations, the site improvements, including discontinuing operational functions at PW2 (Water Street) and the subsequent improvements at Schutte Park (Electric Avenue) to house the functions previously located at Old PW2. The engineering consultant, AECOM (formerly URS) has experienced significant unforeseen challenges that needed to be addressed in order to accomplish the project goals assigned to them by the City of Dover. A total of two (2) design agreement amendments have been previously submitted to the City of Dover, please refer to Attachment A for specific information on each agreement amendment. Per the City of Dover Purchasing Policy & Procedures, Amended February 28, 2011, section 3.10.B.i, the City Manager is authorized to approve change orders up to twenty-five percent (25%) when the purchase does not exceed $500,000. Any amendment that exceeds the twenty-five percent (25%) shall require City Council Approval. The table below represents a summary of all amendments for this project: Change Order Total Project Cumulative Change Order Date Description Amount Budget % against Original Budget n/a Project Approved, by both FY15 and FY16 Budget n/a $480,000.00 n/a 9/23/14 Original Agreement Executed (PW2 Portion) n/a $265,600.00 0.0% 8/27/15 Agreement Amendment #1 (PW2 Portion)* $10,672.00 $276,272.00 0.0% 10/26/15 Agreement Amendment #2 (PW2 Portion)* $70,800.00 $347,072.00 0.0% 1/05/16 Original Agreement Executed (Schutte Park Portion) $214,500.00 $561,572.00 17.0% n/a Agreement Amendment #3 (PW2 Portion) $25,670.00 $587,242.00 22.3% n/a Agreement Amendment #4 (PW2 Portion) $10,000.00 $597,242.00 24.4% n/a Agreement Amendment #5 (PW2 Portion) $6,300.00 $603,542.00 25.7% * - Internal budget amendments were signed to cover additional cost of $81,500, adjusting the project budget $561,500.

ACTION FORM Change Order for Old PW2 Site Improvements Design Page 2 of 2 The summation of the proposed remaining design amendments (see Attachment B) would put the total project(s) design costs at $603,542.00, which is greater than the approval threshold of $500,000; therefore, the remaining design amendments require City Council approval. Staff believes that the amendments are reasonable and are necessary to properly finish the design of these project locations. In accordance with the City of Dover Purchasing Policy & Procedures, Section 3.10, staff respectfully requests Council Approval for the design fee amendments. A breakdown of the funding source for the amendments is provided below: FUNDING DESCRIPTION CURRENT SPENT / SAVINGS / REQUIRED FOR SOURCE ENCUMBERED REMAINING PROJECT BUDGET $42,000 Streets ST1601 Street, Concrete and Alley Program $955,500 $578,737 $376,763 $0 City Manager’s Additional Comments & Narrative: The original design fee agreement for the Old PW2 component of the overall project was signed in September 2014 in the amount of $265,600. This fee included the FY-2015 budget authorization of $150,000. The $150,000 in the FY-2015 budget included $75,000 in grant funds from the State of Delaware (DNREC Planning Grant). FY-2015 work was limited to the $150,000 budget for FY-2015. The budget request for FY-2016 included another $330,000 in design fees under (Old PW2 Site Improvements). The additional $330,000 included $115,600 for the remaining design fees for the Old PW2 site as well as $214,500 for design fees associated with moving current staff and operations from the Old PW2 site to the back of Schutte Park. In order to fully abandon the Old PW2 site, the staff and storage operations currently using the Old PW2 site must be moved to an alternate location. In early FY-2016, staff executed two (2) design fee change orders (Amendment #1 & Amendment #2). Amendment #1 addressed pre-demolition characterization of structures located at Old PW2 along the St. Jones River and stakeout of an open channel alignment from the area east of State Street to the St. Jones River. The stakeout allowed DNREC to conduct independent sampling and analysis of the soils for the proposed project alignment. Amendment #1 increased to total design contract value for Old PW2 from $265,600 to $276,272 ($10,672). In October 2015, staff was presented with another design fee change order related to the design of a bridge crossing of S. State Street near the intersection of South Street ($36,200) as well as design fees associated with the protection of the Well #9 structure since it is located within the 100-year floodplain ($34,600). Amendment #2 increased the design fees from the previously amended $276,272 to $347,072 ($70,800). In January 2016, staff executed the design fee agreement for moving operations to the rear of the Schutte Park property in the amount of $214,500 as indicated above. This design work is intended to be completed in the summer of 2016. In January 2016, staff was also presented with three (3) additional design contract amendments to complete the design components of the Old PW2 site. Amendment #3 includes work associated with locating underground utilities or other anomalous subsurface features in the defined debris areas #1 & 2 as well as mapping of these features. Limited test pit excavations and sampling will also be conducted in the known debris areas. A Sampling Plan & Health and Safety Plan will be prepared and implemented for the project. These activities are intended to reduce construction costs and risks for construction related change orders. This amendment, once executed, will increase the amended design fee for this component of the project from $347,072 to $372,742 ($25,670). Amendment #4 includes additional design considerations for the Well #9 Flood Improvements to include mechanical, electrical and structural changes not covered by Amendment #2. This amendment, once executed, will increase the design contract from $372,742 to $382,742 ($10,000). Amendment #5, presented in February 2016, addresses the inclusion of environmental analytical data from soil samples collected by DNREC to prepare a memorandum documenting the human health risk assessment for the soil data. This information will be included in the bid documents for the construction phase of the project. This amendment, once executed, will increase the design contract from $382,742 to $389,042 ($6,300). These amendments will allow the Old PW2 project to complete design and progress toward construction. The current construction estimate to abandon Old PW2 and construct the stormwater improvements associated with the Tar Ditch Stormwater Interceptor Project is $7.6 million. Construction improvements to the Schutte Park property for Public Works operations will have a separate construction estimate.
