Cole began serving the City of Dover as a member of the Dover 4th of July Celebration Committee on August 10, 2009, resigning when he was sworn into office as Councilman of the Third District on May 11, 2015 - a position he served in with great distinction until his resignation on November 16, 2020; and WHEREAS, throughout his tenure Mr. Cole served on the Civilian Pension Plan Board of Trustees, Dover Public Library Advisory Commission, Economic Development Committee, Health Insurance Cost Research Ad Hoc Committee, Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund Board, Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, and served as Chair of the Utility Committee; and WHEREAS, Scott W.

PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2020-15 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 35 AND 39 NORTH NEW STREET A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 35 and 39 North New Street, consisting of 5,952 SF +/- and 3,877 SF +/-. The properties are zoned RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) and the proposed zoning is RG-1 (General Residence Zone). The properties are located at the southeast corner of North New Street and Fulton Street on the east side of North New Street. The owner of record is National Council on Agricultural Life & Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL). (Tax Parcels: ED-05-076.08-05-39.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-20-02; Council District: 4) Mr. Sudler moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2020-15 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 26, 2020.) Planner's Review Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. He noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Public Hearing Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Ms. Patricia Kelleher, Real Estate Development Director with NCALL, thanked City Council members for their consideration of the rezoning application. She advised that North New Street had been revitalized by Habitat for Humanity’s single-family development in the past several years and that NCALL was proud to complete the revitalization of this Northern corner of the block by building two energy efficient, attractive homes.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 3 Ms. Karen Speakman, Executive Director of NCALL, advised that the rezoning request was to enable them to build two houses that would then be sale, which would be a great benefit to the City. Rev. Dr. Erika Crawford of Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church stated that their property is across the street from the subject locations and they support the building of the houses. With no one else wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the Public Hearing closed. Mr. Slavin expressed concerns about the validity of the of public input due to the technical challenges and proposed a brief recess to allow Council President Hare to discuss the matter with City Solicitor Rodriguez. Mr. Slavin moved to recess the meeting, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Meeting recessed at 7:54 p.m. and reconvened at 7:59 p.m. Council President Hare advised that he spoke with City Solicitor Rodriguez and, because the meeting was appropriately noticed and everyone had a chance to participate, whether virtually or by typing messages, he saw no violation. Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and, by a unanimous roll call vote (Neil absent), Council adopted Ordinance #2020-15, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 35 NORTH NEW STREET AND 39 NORTH NEW STREET WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, it is deemed in the best interest of zoning and planning to change the permitted use of properties described below from RG-3 (Group Housing Zone) to RG-1 (General Residence Zone). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: 1. That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designation from RG-3 - Group Housing Zone to RG-1 - General Residence Zone on that property located at 35 North New Street, consisting of 5,952+/- S.F., and on the property located at 39 North New Street, consisting of 3,877+/- S.F., (Southeast corner of Fulton Street and North New Street), owned by National Council on Agricultural Life & Labor Research Fund, Inc (NCALL). (Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-05-39.00-000 and ED-05-076.08-05-40.00-000; Planning Reference: Z-20-02; Fourth Council District) ADOPTED: DECEMBER 14, 2020

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 4 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2020-16 - REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 630 WEST DIVISION STREET A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located at 630 West Division Street, consisting of two adjacent parcels of land consisting of 1.0853 acres (47,275.3 SF +/-). The property is zoned C-3 (Service Commercial Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and the proposed zoning is IO (Institutional and Office Zone) subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the south side of West Division Street and opposite the intersection with Ridgely Street. The owner of record is Silver Linings Holding Corporation c/o Tolano Anderson and the equitable owner is Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. (Tax Parcel: ED-05-076.08-01-40.01-000; Planning Reference: Z-20-03; Council District: 4) Mr. Sudler moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2020-16 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 26, 2020.) Planner's Review Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the petition to amend the zoning district and the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission. He noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. Mr. Hugg noted that two protest petitions had been received, one prior to the Planning Commission meeting and one after. He advised that, under 22 Delaware Code, Section 305, there is a provision that an action to rezone property requires a three quarter majority vote of the legislative body if there is a valid petition received objecting to the rezoning. A valid petition is 20% of the immediately impacted property owners within 100 feet of the property. Mr. Hugg stated that Staff reviewed both petitions and determined that they are valid and that at least 20% of property owners affected have signed the petition. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg advised that the application under consideration was strictly for the rezoning of the property to IO, Institutional and Office Zone, to permit a temporary shelter. All other action involving the site would be subject to permitting and review by other City departments. Council President Hare advised that correspondence regarding the rezoning application had been received from Mr. John Paradee, Mr. Cecil Wilson, Ms. Karen Speakman, Ms. Diane Laird, and Ms. Amy Yarnall (Exhibit #1). Public Hearing Council President Hare declared the public hearing open. Mr. Tolano Anderson, 50 Dove Creek Terrace, stated that he was a constituent of Mr. Sudler’s and that he had 12 residential and five commercial properties in the area. He noted that, most importantly, his properties located at 627 and 629 West Division Street were directly across the street from the subject property and right next to the funeral home. He advised that he also operates a business at the property in question.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 5 Mr. Anderson stated that this application had drawn some concern regarding crime, panhandling, and other types of issues and he wanted to state for the record that in the past 20 years that he has been there, he has not had any of those issues, either at the two commercial properties across the street at the salon, barbershop, or restaurant, or in his office building where he has eight employees, which is the property in question. Mr. Anderson advised that they have requested to remain at the property after Dover Interfaith opens for business. Mr. Anderson, noting the petition opposing the rezoning, stated that he was also a constituent and a business owner, and he did not think it was fair for there to be a petition without him speaking up about his experience over the last 20 years. He advised that he supported the rezoning application, noting that it was good for the community, and that he concerned himself with what was going to happen if Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) were not there to perform their mission. Mr. Anderson stated that DIMH is good at what they do, there have not been any issues, and they have supported them in the past. He noted that the people that DIMH supports and takes care of are not homeless people because they have a temporary home with DIMH, but it is a program, not a shelter where people go and hang out. Mr. Anderson advised that this is the place they go to and get their life together and get back up on their feet. He noted that DIMH has been very successful for a long time in the community and, as someone who is very serious about the community, he wanted to state that the application should be supported. Mr. Anderson advised that the application had the support of the Planning Commission and City Staff. He stated that he also talked to the Dover Police Department. Mr. Anderson requested City Council members to support the rezoning application because DIMH’s program will not hurt businesses, but by not having this program in the community, it will definitely hurt businesses. Mr. Herb Konowitz, 55 Beloit Avenue, advised that he was vice-chair of Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing and that he was one of the original founders, along with Ms. Jeanine Kleimo. He noted that they believed that everyone deserved a second chance and they created DIMH to provide that opportunity. Mr. Konowitz stated that their program offers a 95% success rate in helping people get back to life. He noted that they have a long waiting list and they operate on a first come, first serve basis. Mr. Konowitz advised that their size limits what they can do, so until they have the beds and transition houses, people will be sleeping in the streets. Mr. Konowitz advised that the homeless men downtown who are urinating on the buildings and defecated in the alleyways are not associated with DIMH, noting that it is more likely that they are associated with probation and parole, which is located behind Wells Fargo bank. He stated that every homeless parolee must report daily to the parole office, which limits how far they want to walk back and forth from parole to camp. Mr. Konowitz advised that most camps are located off of Route 13 behind the motel, behind Mission BBQ, near Delaware State University, and behind Dover Downs. Mr. Konowitz stated that homelessness is a real problem and DIMH wants to continue curing the problem. He noted that they were being asked to move from their current location, which is only 300 feet from the new location. Mr. Konowitz, noting Mayor Christiansen's Blue Ribbon Task Force to End Homelessness, stated that he knew the City cared and its support has been instrumental and extraordinary in finding a cure for homelessness.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 6 Ms. Jeanine Kleimo, chair of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, 79 Vining Run, Camden, noted that she was aware that safety was a major concern for Council members and for those who were in opposition to this project. She assured them that in 12 years of operation, just over 10 at their current location, they have not had any incidents of crime committed by people coming and going from their shelter. Ms. Kleimo noted that they have a thousand or more volunteers coming in to provide meals daily, most of them women from church and civic organizations, and not one of them has been harassed or harmed in any way. Ms. Kleimo advised that all of their residents are respectful and the visitors are always quite surprised at just how polite and respectful and interested in the community they are. She stated that she has invited her own relatives, including her granddaughter and female friends, to come into the shelter, and none of them have ever suffered any kind of personal damage or discomfort. Ms. Kleimo stated that most men stay just 50 to 60 days and are successful in regaining employment, noting that 21 men obtain jobs in the past three weeks. With regard to concerns about sex offenders and people from outside of Delaware, Ms. Kleimo noted that they only have people from Delaware because of the referral system that is in operation and that, while they do take sex offenders, they are all screened regularly by probation. She stated that when they are registered with DIMH as their address, probation officers come in frequently to verify that the gentlemen on their list are indeed remaining in residence at the shelter. Ms. Kleimo advised that many sex offenders, depending on their status, wear ankle monitors so their whereabouts and their compliance with curfew is known to the department of probation. She also noted that DIMH itself has a strict set of rules and a curfew so that the men are not free to wander around the streets. They all have case managers who work with them every day to enable them to search for work, apply for jobs and secure those jobs with the clothing and transportation needed. Ms. Kleimo advised that each year they put about $3 million in wages into the local economy because they employ so many men moving from homelessness to personal security. Mr. Taylor, noting that the law prohibits sex offenders from being within 500 feet of a school and the subject property is 461 feet from a school, asked Ms. Kleimo how she proposed to overcome that. Responding, Ms. Kleimo stated that there may have been a misunderstanding of the regulations and the distance and asked Chief Johnson to clarify. Chief Johnson advised that they recently became aware of the concern about the property line distance between the proposed site and the Booker T. Washington School. He noted that two teams of officers went to measure on separate occasions using a laser surveying tool that they typically use for crime scene documentation and accident reconstruction. Chief Johnson advised that both teams independently came back with a laser measurement of the distance that Councilman Taylor referenced. He stated that he consulted with the Attorney General's office and there is not a mechanism to avoid the 500 foot distance and a sex offender residing at that location would be in violation of the law. Mr. Slavin asked if the law was applicable to all tiers for sex offenders. Responding, Chief Johnson stated that it only applied to tier two and tier three offenders. Mr. Slavin stated that he was disappointed that they were making a logical assumption that all homeless are sex offenders and that all sex offenders are tier two or three sex offenders. He advised

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 7 that whether it is 500 feet or 700 feet it is not a matter for Council discretion. It is a matter of how the homeless shelter would operate and who they would allow to live in the shelter. Mr. Slavin noted that it stands to reason that if they were within 500 feet of the school their business model would be that they could not accept anyone who met the conditions of being prohibited by law. It would be incumbent upon DIMH to comply with the law. He encouraged member not to dispose of human beings who do not have a home by making them into criminals that they perhaps have never been in their life. Mr. Slavin stated that a lot of the homeless in our community are neither tier one, tier two, or tier three sex offenders. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Ms. Kleimo advised that DIMH would of course comply with the regulations governing sex offenders and would work with the police on that regard. Mr. Sudler asked Ms. Kleimo if there was a curfew and, if so, what the requirements were and what happened if a program participant did not meet the curfew requirements. Responding, Ms. Kleimo advised that each resident needs to be in by 5:30 each night because dinner is at 6:00. Exceptions are granted to those who work or attend class or an AA meeting for which there is evidence of attendance. She noted that the site supervisor is provided with the work schedules. With regard to noncompliance with the curfew, Ms. Kleimo advised that participants receive a warning for their first violation and they are cautioned that they could be evicted with their second violation. Flagrant violations result in eviction. She noted that if it is simply someone who fails to learn, to pay attention to time, it is basically three strikes and you're out. Ms. Kleimo stated that would apply to any rule other than violence, which would result in immediate eviction. Mr. Sudler asked where the participants go if they do not make curfew. Responding, Ms. Kleimo, stated that they would be allowed in, but they would receive a writeup that would go in their record. She advised that they would not be made to sleep outside because they have broken curfew unless they were consistently violating curfew, which would result in eviction. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Kleimo stated that she was willing to operate this shelter without accepting sex offenders, considering the proximity to Booker T. Washington, because there are still homeless people who need this shelter. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson noted that there are five tier two and eight tier three offenders registered at the DIMH address. Ms. Kleimo advised that participants are brought in for 30 days to see if they are serious about taking action on their own behalf. Most are limited to 90 days, and the average stay has been between 50 and 60 days. She stated that they would give the participant notice of their time of eviction to be timed with the relocation to the new building. Ms. Kleimo noted that they would try to take action towards finding another place for those who would not be able to move to this particular building. Mr. Hare stated that 12 residents were arrested in 2020, 14 in 2019, and 17 in 2018. Ms. Kleimo stated that they have given the opportunity to homeless people to use the shelter as their address so that they can apply for benefits and employment, even if they are not a resident there. She noted that without going back over that list, she could not tell if they were all shelter residents or one of the many dozens of men who use the address so that they have a place to get mail, receive a general

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 8 assistance check, register for Medicaid and things like that. Ms. Kleimo advised that they see approximately 300 to 400 people in the office in a year, but only 34 are a resident in the shelter at a time. Mr. Hare, noting that DIMH had proposed a shelter on Walker Road, asked why they did not proceed with that project. Responding, Ms. Kleimo stated that they did not proceed because of the community opposition and concern about sex offenders. Mr. Hare noted that the same concerns were being expressed about this proposed location. Ms. Kleimo noted that she would gladly speak with them to hear their concerns. Mr. Sudler stated that he found it to be quite disturbing that DIMH did not proceed with the Walker Road project because of the pressure of Bicentennial Village but that same opposition with the same concerns for this location are being overlooked or ignored. Mr. John McDaniel, 410 South Queensbury Lane, advised that he was a former client of DIMH. He noted that he lost his job as a successful business owner approximately two years ago due to the economy. Mr. McDaniel stated that he had a family to provide for with no real resources, he became homeless, and he felt that all hope was gone. He noted that DIMH allowed him an opportunity to get back on his feet by offering job training, housing, family resources, and an opportunity to take his life back. Mr. McDaniel advised that DIMH has a culture that gives the community and residents restoration and if a place like this did not exist, people like him and many other people who simply fall on hard times would be doomed. Ms. Karen Speakman, 101 Maple Glenn Drive, Dover, advised that she was the executive director of NCALL, which is located at 363 Saulsbury Road in Dover. She stated that she was in favor of this rezoning application because it was a very good site that would provide the opportunity for shelter, as well as the resource center, all together in one place that it is within walking distance of the shops downtown. Ms. Speakman noted that Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing does an amazing job of changing the lives of homeless people. They are citizens, they are our neighbors, and we need to take care of them. She asked where the shelter would be located if not in this location. Ms. Speakman stated that she understand all the concerns that had been expressed, however, she thought that the DIMH work speaks for itself in terms of there being no violations as far as violent crimes or anything of that nature, and that the men become employable, and productive citizens. Ms. Speakman advised that NCALL was the lead agency for Restoring Central Dover and this shelter is very much a part of that same mission for Restoring Central Dover of providing decent, safe, and affordable house and shelter for all people. Ms. Chelle Paul conveyed that having sex offenders participate in this program is a safety issue for the youth in this area. She asked if the program was more important than the safety of the children. She stated that she objected to the rezoning application. Ms. Mary Dawn Ditty, 205 Quail Run, Wyoming, stated that she had been associated with DIMH and Code Purple. She noted that these people want help trying to improve their lives and they have to find a place for them. Ms. Ditty also noted that a family acquaintance went through the program

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 9 and he has never been as recovered and had as good a life as he has now. She stated that he is well on his way to recovery and they give all the credit to DIMH. Mr. John Paradee, speaking on behalf of Benny Smith Funeral Home and Westside Car Wash, stated that no one disputes that the work of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing is a worthy cause. However, this property in the middle of downtown Dover, surrounded by numerous residences, retail businesses, and within 500 feet of an elementary school, is not the right place for this type of facility for the following four reasons: • The facility would result in significant conflicts with already existing residences and retail businesses. Many of which have been here for decades. The facility would no doubt serve as a magnet for homeless populations throughout Kent County and beyond, attracting hundreds of people with no roots to the area into the city, some of whom will choose to enroll in the missions programs, but many of whom will not, increasing nuisance behaviors and downtown activities, which are obviously incompatible with existing uses in the neighborhood. Even if they can control the population that they have enrolled, the problem is this facility will be a magnet for people that they cannot control. • This would be contrary to the purposes of the Downtown Dover Development District, it would discourage private capital investment from the commercial vitality of the area and cause people to avoid downtown Dover altogether. • The location for the proposed facility is a mere 446 feet from the Booker T. Washington Elementary School. Because the shelter would provide housing for some who are formerly incarcerated sex offenders, placing the facility at this location would violate section 1112(a)(1) of Title 11 of the Delaware Code, which makes no distinction between tiers of sex offenders. So whether they are tier one, two or three, they cannot reside within 500 feet of any school. • The petition, signed by the owners of every property in the surrounding neighborhood that is not owned by the applicant, clearly demonstrates the entire neighborhoods surrounding the subject property, residents and business owners alike, are unanimously opposed to the application. City Council’s first obligation and responsibility is to represent the best interests of these people. The people who live here, who work here, who own property here, the citizens and taxpayers of the city, not homeless people, however well-intentioned they may be, who come to our City from all over Delaware with no roots in the community. Mr. Paradee stated that there must be a better location for this facility that is not so close to so many residences, adjacent to businesses frequented by retail customers and within 500 feet of an elementary school. On behalf of his clients, Mr. Paradee requested that the rezoning application be denied. Ms. Patricia Keller, 363 Saulsbury Road, Dover, stated that she submitted correspondence and that she was in favor of this important effort to house and assist the most vulnerable of our neighbors in Dover. The new building is a stone's throw from the original site, which was operated effectively and safely for many years. Mr. Tolano Anderson's testimony is an important consideration. He and his

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 10 staff will stay in the building if the rehab occurs and they have never experienced an issue. We can not pretend that the homeless are not amongst us and we need to assist Dover Interfaith in their efforts to help the homeless. Ms. Paulette Wingfield, 74 Meadow Glen Drive, Dover, stated that she was a social worker at Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, as well as at Banyan Treatment Center. She noted that she had been working with Dover interfaith for approximately four years and her concern was that if they did not get the building, they were going to have a problem in Dover. Ms. Wingfield advised that she goes into tent cities and to New Street and Loockerman Street to feed the hungry. She stated that DIMH has programs for substance abuse, mental health, and job development. Ms. Wingfield noted that they motivate the men to believe in themselves. She also advised that they assess everyone that comes in the door and if anyone is off their psych meds or anything like that, they immediately send them to detox and push treatment. Ms. Wingfield stated that, even with criminal records, even as sex offenders, these are human beings that are struggling. She noted that the majority of the homeless are in district four and having them all in one place, teaching them, training them again, getting their hair cut every Saturday, providing clean clothes and food is what is needed. Ms. Wingfield stated that many of the homeless people on the streets are not DIMH clients but are people who choose to be in the street, on drugs and drinking, not working, not seeking a job, and not doing job development groups. Ms. Robin Holt, owner of Emerald City Wash World at 730 West Division Street, Dover, stated that they had been at that location for 23 years and she was not in favor of the rezoning application. She advised that they are struggling to maintain there businesses as well as to maintain the community. Ms. Holt noted that they recently started a Laundry Love, which is a laundry movement to help provide clean clothes for struggling families and human dignity. She stated that in the 23 years that she has been at that location, she has had interactions with the homeless and interactions with people that have been urinating and defecating in the back of their laundry. Ms. Holt advised that it took them three months to get them out of the back of the laundry and to keep them from being there every day. She stated that they still have problems with people loitering, coming in and asking for money, and sometimes they are not so nice. Ms. Holt advised that she was also a nurse and they have a wide variety of clientele and some of those are homeless and have mental health issues. She stated that her staff worked very hard to treat them with kid gloves because you have to be very careful to make sure that they get in and get their clothes done and that they are in an environment that they can do what they need do and get done. Ms. Holt noted that her biggest overall concern was for her staff and customers, noting that it is mostly middled-aged women that open and close the store. She also noted that her customers are all ages and all races and they bring children with them to do laundry. Ms. Holt reiterated that she is struggling to maintain her business and if people do not feel safe, they will not come. Mr. Victor Giangrant, owner of the Westside Carwash located at 805 Forest Street, Dover, advised that they have been at that location for 39 years and would be arguing for the survival of their family business. In the past eight or nine years he has noticed an influx of panhandling and foot traffic at his facility with at least 7 to 12 people cutting through the carwash property daily. Three to four of these people a day panhandle his customers and employees. Mr. Giangrant stated that there have been instances of prostitutes soliciting their customers while the customers are waiting in line for

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 11 a carwash. They also use their bathrooms, steal their toilet paper, and come into the property after hours seeking shelter from the rain. He noted that, while they are there, they write graffiti on their walls and have defecated on their property on numerous occasions. Mr. Giangrant advised that it is becoming almost unmanageable. Some of these panhandlers can be very aggressive and he is getting a lot of feedback from people who are concerned for their safety. Mr. Giangrant stated that the foot traffic and number of panhandlers will only increase if the homeless shelter moves in. Mr. Giangrant stated that, in their efforts to keep up with carwash modernization, they demolished three houses on their existing property to build 12 self-service vacuum cleaners for their customers to use. In addition, they also added two new employees. He noted that if the homeless shelter comes, it will leave their customers vulnerable and exposed to transit foot traffic and panhandlers and some customers are likely never to return and tell a friend that they had a bad experience. Mr. Giangrant stated that they cannot move forward on that project if the homeless shelter moves next door, as it would be corporate suicide. He advised that there is a carwash two doors down from them that has been closed for several years. Their closure was due in part to the constant panhandling harassment of the customers who were there trying to wash their cars in a self-service environment. Mr. Giangrant stated that aggressive behaviors scare away current customers and prevent new customers. Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing has claimed they cannot control what their residents do outside their property. He asked why the outlying business owners and the residential property owners bear the burden of dealing with an unpredictable group of people. Mr. Giangrant advised that they take pride in being one of the biggest employers in the downtown area and this is not only a threat to their business, but also to their 40 plus employees and their families who depend upon them for their paychecks each week. Some of whom may be unable to find employment. Mr. Giangrant stated that, while he believes that this is a great humanitarian effort by countless people for the homeless, unfortunately, this is not the location for the homeless shelter. It should not be in such a highly populated area with both thriving businesses and residential properties surrounding it. He asked Council members to put themselves in their situation and asked if they would you like to work and live in those conditions. Ms. Karen Roland, a case manager at Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, stated that she also lives around the corner and is a mother of seven children and two of her children go to Booker T. Washington school. She noted that if they do not find a place for the people that society has cast out, they will have nowhere to go. Ms. Roland advised that she had been with DIMH almost two and a half years and had seen people's lives turned around. She stated that she was not afraid of the tier three sex offenders at DIMH, she was afraid of the people that they don't know about. Ms. Karen Grady, 55 Baloit Avenue, Dover, stated that she used to be an interim director at DIMH and she feels safer in the community because DIMH takes people off the streets. She noted that the people that are on the streets are there because they do not have enough funding to get them off the streets. Ms. Grady advised that the DIMH program rehabilitates people and is part of the solution. She stated that without DIMH there will be 38 more people that are out on the streets and homeless and the streets will be even more dangerous.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 12 Ms. Grady stated that the foot traffic that everyone is complaining about is not from DIMH but from the over 300 homeless people that need to be helped. She advised that there are hundreds of families in tents, 40 of which have children. Ms. Grady noted that she had always felt safe at DIMH. Mr. Victor Giangrant, Vic Giangrant’s son, advised that they are erecting a “Welcome to Dover” sign 500 from this building and asked if that was really how they wanted to welcome people to Dover. Reverend Amy Yarnall, 140 Hazel Road, stated that she serves Wesleyan Methodist Church on State and Loockerman Streets. She expressed her support on behalf of the church as a founding member of Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, noting that they continue to have a seat on their board and have seen DIMH continue to do amazing things to serve the community. Reverend Yarnall advised that, by having DIMH in their midst, they are helping to solve the problem and not contribute to the problem. They have been in their current location for more than 10 years, have had good interactions with the surrounding community, and are a blessing to the community. Reverend Yarnall stated that if they do not continue to support DIMH and help to address the needs of homelessness, things are going to get worse and not better and she did not see how denying the application for them to continue will do anything other than create more problems for business owners. Mr. Allen, 712 Forest Street, stated that he and his wife, who is still in the military, moved from Texas to Dover and they did not realize that the homeless shelter was right there. He said that, initially, they did not see any issues with it but they now have people cutting through their yard and peeing on the side of the building. Mr. Allen noted that he walked over to DIMH and talked to the person in charge and he was told that they had no control over it. Ms. Christine Outten, 730 Forest Street, stated that she lives directly across the street from the building that they would like to put the shelter in. She advised that she was opposed to the rezoning application, noting that her family has owned this property for 20 years. In the last four to five years, there have been significant problems with the gentlemen from that shelter. Some of those gentlemen were working for a temp agency the previous last week at a vacant home next to hers. Ms. Outten stated that she had numerous pictures of the behavior of those gentlemen on her property and cussing her out when she asked them not to be on her property to do their job. She stated that she was told to go F herself and that they would come on her property. Ms. Outten advised that three granddaughters under the age of 15 live with her and she has a huge problem with it being directly across from her. Reverend Dr. John Moore, 216 Fieldbrook Drive, Magnolia, advised that he has been deeply involved in the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing for over seven years and he feels empathetic for their situation, as well as for the communities surrounding it. He noted that everybody deserves a second chance and he has seen the tremendous work being done. Reverend Dr. Moore stated that he has seen far worse behavior in the City of Dover than he has at DIMH. He noted that whenever he has spent time there, they have been absolutely respectful and amazing in regards to what they have experienced. Reverend Dr. Moore stated that, as a community, he thought it was important to see the power of the volunteerism that happens at DIMH and to see the unity that is shown with so many people that work there.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 13 Ms. Robin Holt asked what the homeless clients do during the day. Responding, Ms. Jeanine Kleimo stated that the men in the shelter are expected to work or look for work and meet with their case manager. She noted that, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had more classes to assist them and as soon as they can have group gatherings again, they will offer classes for literacy, healthcare related topics, computer usage, and financial management. Reverend Ellis Louden, 50 Greenway Square, M33, Dover, stated that he formerly served as pastor of Mount Zion AME Church and is now a presiding elder of the Dover District of the Delaware Conference of the AME Church. He advised that he had been a member of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing board almost since its inception and it has been a privilege to continue to serve the group. Reverend Louden advised that their central focus was helping men who are homeless, not only to house and feed, but also to achieve self-sustainability, which is a crucial element of the program. He advised that, during his pastorate at Mount Zion, they began a ministry with other faith communities to provide dinner meals on a scheduled evening. He was not aware of any negative events during the service of meals and members always came back with glowing reports of the men's delight in sharing the meal and their appreciation for the caring spirit. Reverend Louden also explained other events that shelter guests participated in and the gratitude to DIMH that they expressed. He noted that they have sought to bring together faith communities, as well as the greater Dover community, around the issue of homelessness that continues to challenge our community and the nation. Reverend Louden expressed that he was somewhat shocked that there is resistance against establishing Interfaith Mission's relocation at 630 West Division Street. Reverend Louden stated that he has done business, received services, and given services in the immediate area, day and night and his car has never been vandalized, nor had he been approached by anyone, not even a panhandle. He said that he had been approached in broad daylight by panhandlers outside of the post office and PNC Bank in downtown Dover, in the shadow of city hall. Reverend Louden stated that the problem must be addressed as a community and requested members to make a decision that will help them continue the work that is so needed, not only in our community, but across this nation. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Hare declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Neil read the following statement into the record: “I've spent more than 20 years of my professional career in vocational rehabilitation, helping people with disabilities enter or reenter the real work world. In other words, my agency recycled taxpayers. That's exactly what the Interfaith Mission has been doing with homeless men, recycling this population back into the world of work at very little cost to city taxpayers. In my first profession as a newsman, I observed that there are a number of reasons for a person to become homeless. Some lose their ability to pay for a roof over their heads due to the downturn in the economy. We've heard that tonight. They lost their jobs. Others have been turned out of institutions with mental or drug or other problems. Many homeless wish to regain their dignity and return to gainful employment as contributing members of our society. The Interfaith center has lots of evidence of the success of their program.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 14 This public perception of the homeless stem from those who do drugs or don't want to be helped for whatever reason. They panhandle. They disturb passersby. They steal toilet paper from businesses, as we've heard tonight. These individuals are not in the current center now. They are banned and they will not be served in the new Interfaith Mission location. Only those homeless job seekers will have access in this proposed larger building with more services and perhaps a day room. These individuals should not be a problem. They know what is at stake. The problem exists now because of other homeless who could sue the city taxpayers if we treated those individuals unconstitutionally, as some may wish. There is a real problem. It is not necessarily from the center, and we can't say those homeless who were causing a problem are guilty because they are at the Interfaith Mission center. It's not true. To provide businesses and the residents fast, courteous relief, the Dover City Council has taken action. We have provided $86,000 for additional training for officers. We approved a newly created Dover city police academy to fill our allotted vacancies caused by retirement and injuries. With help from a grant, we have recently authorized five new community police officers. As an added safety measure, the City Council approved nearly half a million dollars for a smart LED lighting system for the entire city starting in downtown. I can understand why nobody wants a homeless center near them. That's the problem you elected the council to take care of on your behalf to the best of our collective ability. However, I do not look at the Interfaith center as a homeless shelter, per se. It serves a population with services not provided in the city charter to become productive citizens. As one of the city council liaison to the Downtown Partnership, the board, I have watched the entire transparent process unfold. The DDP board did its due diligence, led by a premier Dover realtor, in examining locations. The process was reported in the media, and it has been as it progressed through the approvals of the City Council pending this required public hearing. In fact, the attorney representing those opposed has provided us evidence of the fact. Nothing was hidden. I would have hoped that those who oppose this location would not say, "Not here." Or, "Any place but here." I would have hoped that they would have provided a viable, actionable, alternate location suitable to everyone. I did not hear that. In this location, if it is approved, I hope that the neighbors who had complained about the actions of the homeless will contact our enhanced police force for assistance. That's what they're there for. These are not the bad guys in this center. These guys in the center are trying to become productive citizens. And I hope that this Council will recognize that and vote for this and make sure that our police department, and our chief is listening, will be there to help sweep away those people and move them so they're not harassing people. This center should not be a magnet to those homeless who don't want to actually become productive citizens.” Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Taylor stated that he had been a part of Dover Interfaith's search for a new location and noted that he firmly believes in what Ms. Kleimo and Mr. Konowitz are trying to accomplish. He stated that, as Chair of Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee, he had concerns about the proximity of the shelter to the school and the petitions submitted by the residents.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 15 Mr. Taylor stated that, just prior to COVID-19 in January they were about to have a mass exodus of merchants downtown due to the aggressive panhandling and all the other problems that they faced with urination, defecation, and needles. He advised that he personally faced it several times when someone came up and asked him for money and when he said no, the threat was to take his money. Mr. Anderson stated that he was in support of the rezoning request; however, he had a concern with the measurement of the distance between the proposed shelter and Booker T. Washington school, noting that in the past it had been measured from building to building and not property line to property line which is a discrepancy of almost 300 feet in this case. Mr. Anderson stated that if the shelter is already in the neighborhood, it would still be basically the same neighbors, so it would not change those particular dynamics for the negative and could change it for the positive. Mr. Anderson noted that this site location has an opportunity for a positive impact by providing a larger location that can handle more day programs, job training, and other programs that keep people off the streets, out of our library, out of businesses, et cetera. He stated that when he suggests DIMH to panhandlers, they say that they do not want to go there because they do not like their rules. Mr. Anderson advised that, if this location is approved, he would urge that the site be designed to include appropriate fencing to keep people separated and to block the views. He noted that they were only considering the rezoning and, based upon that, he supported it. Mr. Sudler stated that he has a pulse on his constituents, and not only has he been a long time Council member, career supporter of the Interfaith Mission Statement, but in his primary occupation, have housed their sex offender program participants for over 10 years. Nevertheless, it is his position on the matter of rezoning 630 West Division Street to Industrial Office should be denied despite staff recommendations based on the following perceptions of the opposing petitioners: the lack of community friendliness; feasibility for current stakeholders; and the decrease in the square footage from Booker T. Washington School to DIMH Men's Shelter proposed renders a great reservation in the matter, particularly with the rumination about COVID-19. Mr. Sudler also referenced the testimony of West Side Car Wash and the consensus that the proposed location would not only impede upon the economic growth and development of the neighborhood businesses, but would additionally create an overpopulated area that is already confronted with traffic density issues, pedestrian, bike lane discrepancies, which in my opinion, will make the area even more congested than it currently is. Mr. Sudler stated that the proposed location on West Division Street is closer to Booker T. Washington school and their current location from the front door of Interfaith Men's Shelter to Booker T. Washington is close to 2000 feet. Mr. Rocha advised that he previously worked at DIMH checking clients in and working a swing shift from 3:00 p.m. until midnight. In his experience, the participants in the program could not wander around when they were assigned to the building as a resident. When they went outside, the monitor or the supervisor would have to be outside with them so that they were under supervision the entire time. Mr. Rocha found it hard to believe that the bad behavior was from the DIMH clients. Mr. Rocha stated that he believed that the building itself was an ideal spot for the mission to be carried out, to help these men play a vital role in our community by getting jobs and maybe getting

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 16 back with their families, to be able to live on their own and have it being sustainable. He also stated that he worries about the children and the fact that this shelter would be within the 500 feet from Booker T. Washington so his stance was to deny this location. Mr. Lindell stated that he had heard from both sides of this issue through communications and phone calls and he appreciates both the human side of the issue and the property rights side of the issue. He noted that he would not be voting on this application because he has concerns about the location and the sex offenders being close to the school. However, he was also concerned that they were being disingenuous by talking about how downtown does not want Interfaith there so their lease is not renewed and they talk about the Walker Road location and the neighbors did not want it there so they were asked to go back to the drawing board, and here they are again with another location, and they are going down the same road again. Mr. Lindell stated that everyone is saying that we need to help find a location and they need to stop just saying “keep looking for a location”. He suggested that City Council needs to own this and they need to get the County officials and State officials involved and find a location for these individuals that is going to be suitable to achieve the mission that they're seeking. Anything less is just being disingenuous. Responding to Mr. Slavin, City Solicitor Rodriguez advised that a three-fourths vote, or seven affirmative votes, would be necessary to approve the rezoning request due to the receipt of the valid petition. Mr. Hare, noting that other locations had been mentioned, stated that Beiser Industrial Park has a 22 acre lot for sale and there is a piece of property right next to the Dover Police Department. Mr. Hare expressed concern with putting tier two and three sex offenders within the distance of the school and referenced all of the public testimony and, although he supports DIMH and its mission, he stated that he cannot support the rezoning application because it just does not make sense. City Solicitor Rodriguez advised that approval of the rezoning application was recommended by both City Staff and the Planning Commission; therefore, if voting in opposition to the application, members should state their reasons for their vote. Mr. Anderson stated that it was important to note that the issue that they were voting on was a zoning issue, not the issue of who will reside at the shelter. Mr. Sudler suggested that City Council should encourage the City Manager to help the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing to locate an area that is a win-win for everyone. The motion for approval of the rezoning request, as recommended by the Planning Commission, failed by a roll call vote of four no (Sudler, Rocha, Taylor, and Hare), three yes (Anderson, Neil, and Slavin), and Mr. Lindell not voting.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 17 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - STAFF SUBSTITUTE #3 TO PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2020-05 A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of proposed amendments to Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article IX - Lodginghouses; Article X - Rental Dwellings; Appendix B - Zoning; and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. Mr. Sudler moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2020-05 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 12, 2020.) Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the ordinance had been under discussion for the better part of this year and was approached from a number of different angles. A draft was presented in October that seemed to have addressed the issues of managing short-term rentals and Airbnbs. When the ordinance was submitted through the Development Advisory Committee to the Planning Commission there was one comment raised by the fire marshal regarding the wording conflicting with a national fire code related to rooming houses, boarding houses, and lodging houses. The Planning Commission approved the ordinance, subject to staff finding a solution to that problem. Mr. Hugg advised that the Staff Substitute being presented contained the clarifying language, in addition to other minor language changes. Council President Hare declared the hearing open and, there being no one present wishing to speak, declared the hearing closed. Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the ordinance, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2020-05, as follows: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article IX - Lodginghouses, Section 22-281 - Purpose; Applicability; Definitions; Compliance (c) Definitions, (1) Lodginghouse be amended to read as follows: (1) Lodginghouse means a building operated principally for the temporary residence of the transient public, including but not limited to hotels, motels, inns, boardinghouses, rooming houses, tourist homes, and dormitories.

Civilian members present via video or telephone for their Committee meetings were Ms. Maucher (Utility), Mr. Shevock and Mr. Contant (Legislative, Finance, and Administration).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 23 Evaluation of Proposals - Update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of proposals for the update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Whitman, Requardt & Associates for the Update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan, RFP #21-0013WW, for the amount of $143,501. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon advised that the update to the Master Plan would include a consultant to provide a complete re-evaluation of the City water system, including the water supply, water storage and water distribution system. The plan will update the projected long term demands of the City, the water supply and new technology research for aquifer recharge, water storage and water distribution system. Mr. Lyon stated that the plan will update the projected long term demands of the City, the impact of water supply and availability of water, confirmation and calibration of the existing water model, including the water storage and distribution demands, as well as an evaluation of the existing water distribution system. He noted that the update would also provide an evaluation of existing operational practices, including public outreach to customers and provide a twenty (20) year capital outlook on improvements for the water system. Responding to Mr. Taylor regarding the price difference, Mr. Lyon advised that they were going to get a better service because of experience and level of expertise. Mr. Lyon stated that Whitman, Requardt & Associates had done more of this type of water master plan than any alternative firm. He noted that they wanted to make sure that they got the best quality candidates for this project and that was why they did it as a Request for Proposals (RFP) and not just an invitation to bid. Ms. Maucher asked if this was an update to the 2006 plan or if it was to start and take a whole new look. Responding, Mr. Lyon advised that this would start from an update and would encapsulate some additional items inside of the scope of work, not necessarily from the original 2006 master plan, but that it would be a jumping off point. He noted that then it would delve into everything that was going on in the 14 years since they opened things back up. Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mr. Lyon stated that the intent was to update these plans every 10 years and inside of the updates there would be a 20-year outlook period. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, stated that they were currently working with Duffield on the water treatment plant upgrade. Mr. Harline noted that Duffield is a very competent firm, they just did not have a track record in those kinds of plans.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 24 Mr. Harline noted that half of the project would be funded by a grant. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Whitman, Requardt & Associates for the Update to the City of Dover Water Master Plan, RFP #21-0013WW, for the amount of $143,501, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Neil absent). Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:16 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Lindell. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Dover Police Department - CIP Projects: Chiller, Cooling Tower & Pumps Replacement (Actionable Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Dover Police Department - CIP Projects: Chiller, Cooling Tower and Pumps Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the replacement contract, based upon RFP #21-0012PD for the Furnishing and Installation of Chiller, Cooling Tower and Pumps Replacement for the City of Dover Police Department, to Service Unlimited in the amount of $362,952 based on the graded criteria. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Neil absent). Emergency COVID-19 Relief Economic Retention Electric Fund (Actionable Item) Mr. Anderson moved to defer this item to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting schedule for December 15, 2020.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 25 Mr. Harline stated that he would like to discuss with Mr. Anderson and other Council members what they were looking for regarding this item. Mr. Anderson stated that they had seen and heard around downtown and at meetings that there was a real concern that businesses that had been very solid were facing challenging times that were a direct result of either infections or restrictions related to the pandemic. He stated that the city could set up a fund to avoid the unnecessary loss of businesses. Mr. Anderson stated that there were at least four possible approaches, and they needed to determine which would be easiest for the customers, hardest to abuse, and easiest for Staff to administrate. Mr. Harline stated that the key thing to address was what their goal was and what their target was. He stated he understood that small businesses had been affected by COVID-19 and setting up certain criteria would be important. Mr. Harline stated that he spoke with Ms. Laura Wisler, Division of Small Business, and that she made some good points about how they used some funds either to sort by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code or in a different program. They had some criteria about who would qualify, if they did not have any outstanding taxes prior, or they were in good standing, and if they had their licenses. Mr. Harline advised that they needed to work out that kind of criteria. He stated that from a business standpoint, keeping customers viable in the long run would help the electric and other utilities. He stated that, looking through the accounts, they have two small commercial accounts that are on a payment plan, so targeting the right audience was going to be important. Mr. Anderson moved to defer this item to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting scheduled for December 15, 2020, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Neil absent). Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:23 p.m. The motion for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting was unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:23 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Neil absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 26 MONTHLY REPORTS - OCTOBER 2020 By motion of Mr. Slavin, seconded by Mr. Lindell, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: City Assessor's Report City Council’s Community Enhancement Fund Report City Manager's Report City Planner's Report Controller/Treasurer's Budget Report Fire Chief's Report (September and October) Police Chief's Report ELECTION OF OFFICERS - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY - YEAR 2021 FIRE LINE OFFICERS The Fire Line Officers of the Robbins Hose Company are elected annually on the third Monday of November. Members were provided the results from the November 16, 2020 Robbins Hose Company Election for consideration as follows: Fire Chief - David Carey (uncontested) Deputy Fire Chief - Cole Enright (uncontested) First Assistant Fire Chief - Ben Smetana (uncontested) Second Assistant Fire Chief - Sean Christiansen (uncontested) Third Assistant Fire Chief - Wes Liberto (uncontested) Fourth Assistant Fire Chief - Sierra Brown (uncontested) First Fire Line Captain - Jason Boc Second Fire Line Captain - Charles Entenman By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the Fire Line Officers for Robbins Hose Company No. 1 for the Year 2021, as submitted, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Neil absent). UPDATE ON CODE ENFORCEMENT AND CRIME MITIGATION - REED AND NEW STREETS Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that he was not prepared to give an update because he had not had a chance to get information from the Code Enforcement staff. He stated that he would report during the first meeting in January. Chief Johnson advised that he reported data at the Town Hall meeting in relation to activities in the bottom half of November which followed the completion of a much larger operation. He indicated that they were close to two arrests per day for varying drug and weapons offenses and were able to make a significant impact on the loitering issue. Chief Johnson noted that what made the best difference was the approach that if people were initially compliant with their request to move on from the loitering issue, or it was somebody that had minor offenses and they followed through, they did not contact them again, which he felt was a win without an enforcement action.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 PAGE 27 Mr. Sudler thanked Chief Johnson for being out there, noting that his action were very well-received and Mr. Hugg and his department for doing an excellent job answering questions during the Town Hall meeting. He noted that Mr. Anderson recorded some of the Zoom meeting and asked that it be forwarded to City Council for the record. Mr. Slavin stated that he had suggested holding a walkthrough from the other departments to put all eyes on these two blocks where they are really trying to make a big improvement. He noted that they can look at it from a Public Works point of view and look at things like sidewalks that may need to be replaced, curb cuts, and maybe some repaving of the streets, if we want to put it in a repaving program, striping of the streets, striping of crosswalks. Mr. Slavin said they could look at it from the Electrical Department point of view to see if the poles are working, and if there is an opportunity for newer lighting. He suggested that if they saturate their attention on those two blocks they would see a marked difference. Mr. Anderson advised that they did a survey of participants that showed that in some areas crime was a concern and job/small business preservation was very high up on the list. Trash and city services were also important to the community. Mr. Anderson thanked Mrs. Sharon Duca, Director of Public Works, for her assistance during the trash clean up, noting that she scheduled a special trash pick-up on the Monday following which allowed residents to put their cans out instead of having to bring special cans. Mr. Taylor thanked Councilman Sudler, Councilman Anderson, and Councilman Rocha for their leadership. He also thanked Mrs. Chelle Paul, Mr. Bobby Wilson, Chief Johnson, NAACP of Central Delaware, and all the volunteers for their efforts. Mr. Sudler thanked Ron Lockman Tree Removal and Fencing, who helped with the cost for the food. UPDATE ON GRANTS Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the Update on Grants and noted that they had finalized the purchase of software that will assist the grant writer in searching out both federal and private grants for funding that day. He suggested reporting back on a periodic basis. ANNEXATION/REZONING REQUEST/FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2020-17 - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 228 MIFFLIN ROAD, OWNED BY DEBORA G.

Division Street from C-3 to IO (institutional/office) zoning to permit the conversion of the building to a permanent shelter, office, and resource center. Both as NCALL’s Executive Director and as a resident of North Dover, I encourage the City Council to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendation for the rezoning of this property from C-3 to IO. As many of us know, Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing has been searching for a suitable site to house their shelter, office, and resource center for quite a while. This building is appropriately adaptable for these purposes and the site appears to be an excellent location for the relocation of their facilities. Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing does an amazing job of changing the lives of homeless men on a daily basis, the majority of whom are from Dover. Few homeless shelter facilities

can boast of the rate of assisting people in obtaining employment and getting on their feet that DIMH can. DIMH is providing an extremely needed service to our homeless population with both the housing shelter and resource facility as well as providing an immeasurable service to our city that other organizations are not providing or willing to provide. We need to take care of our most vulnerable residents and neighbors. When one person suffers, we all ultimately suffer. And if the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us anything, it is the need for safe, decent housing in which to shelter. NCALL is the lead agency for Restoring Central Dover (RCD) and Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing is an invaluable partner and two of their board members serve on RCD’s Steering Committee. Addressing the needs of all the residents in Central Dover is extremely important to us and assisting Dover’s homeless residents to become settled and employed and eventually permanently housed is essential to their well-being and to the Dover community. DIMH needs a new home, has found a feasible future home, and this rezoning request should be approved. It is my sincere hope that you will approve this rezoning request on Monday evening, December 14. Sincerely, Karen B. Speakman 101 Maple Glen Dr. Dover, DE 19904 Karen B.

From: Diane Laird To: McDowell, Traci Cc: City Clerks Office; Todd Stonesifer Subject: Re: Public comments Date: Monday, December 14, 2020 2:08:00 PM Traci, please extend the following to members of council for this evening’s meeting. Members of Dover City Council, I am out of town but would hereby like to offer comments on behalf of the DDP and Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) with regard to their proposed relocation. On/about Summer of 2018, the DDP informed DIMH of the need to relocate operations and vacate the property by December 2021, a property owned by the DDP. The DDP’s mission, in large part, is to improve the quality of life in downtown for residents through economic development. The DDP has plans to redevelop the property on which DIMH is located, and to provide jobs as a result of the redevelopment. For the past year and a half, the DDP has coordinated and convened public meetings with DIMH representatives, inviting members of the community to work together to identify and help secure a suitable new location to house DIMH, one that would also provide for ancillary services to address the concerns of the homeless as well as promote opportunities for them to transition out of homelessness. After a thorough search, the current location rose to the top and has been selected because of its suitability to most effectively address the aforementioned needs. Countless downtown communities nationwide are charged to find ways to address homelessness and vagrancy. In Dover, DIMH has stepped up to the plate to do so. It will be helpful for members of the community, both public and private, to find

meaningful ways to support DIMH’s proposed relocation to ensure a smooth transition and successful establishment of the new location.

I write on behalf of Wesley United Methodist Church, at 209 S State St, Dover, regarding the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. We are in strong support of their proposed move to 630 W. Division St. As co-founding members of this mission, we continue to hold a seat on their Board of Directors. We are active in this ministry, especially in providing meals. The ministry is very well run and provides tremendous benefit to the men it serves and therefore to the City of Dover. In my ten years in Dover, I have seen them rise to meet the needs of our community in many ways, in addition to providing shelter for the residents. This includes the day center, establishing transitional housing so men can move from the shelter into independent living, helping establish Code Purple and welcome overflow, and now serving hot lunches Monday-Saturday since Salvation Army has stopped doing so. DIMH does the amazing, important work of helping men make real changes in their lives, becoming established in permanent housing and employment. Their move to this new location, across the street from the current site, makes sense for our city. DIMH provides much needed services to our most vulnerable citizens, and is widely supported by churches in and around Dover. The fears raised by a few area businesses are hackneyed "not in my backyard" nonsense that have already been proven unfounded by the presence of DIMH at its present location. I ask you to support this move and I look forward to hearing your position. Thank you. -- Pastor Amy Yarnall Wesley United Methodist Church pastor.amy@wesleyumc-dover.com Office: 302-678-9626 website: www.wesleyumc-dover.com

filiftl of OFFICE OF THE MAYOR December 21 , 2020 Council President William F. Hare Members of City Council City of Dover 15 E Loockerman Plaza P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Dear Mr. President, First let me commend the members of Council and City staff for addressing the matter of short- term rentals in our neighborhoods. It is a matter that needed to be address in earnest. Having said that, I am hereby vetoing the approved item No . 4A during the regular Council meeting of December 14, 2020 in accordance with the authority granted to the Mayor in the code. That item is #2020-05 Amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article 1X - Lodginghouses; Article X - Rental Dwellings; Appendix B - Zoning; and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. I firmly believe it is the responsibility of Mayor and Council to protect and preserve the value and tranquility of the property owners throughout the City. It is still my belief that these short-term rentals are a business and should be approved as such by going through the conditional use approval process reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by Council. I believe this is the right thing to do. In addition, I firmly believe that the number of consecutive rental days should not exceed 1O as I believe it would be easier to monitor and enforce. A conversation needs to take place regarding if the property should be occupied by the owner when not on a short-term rental agreement. We also need to discuss a means to be able to have a local contact person with a current phone number and email address in case any concerns should arise, this needs to be evaluated and updated every 6 months. Finally, I believe as a maintenance of standards and fairness, these properties should be subject to the Lodging Tax just as other Hoteliers are required to be taxed. I hope that these issues can be revisited, and the ordinance modified and strengthened to the satisfaction of all parties. n Mayor, City of Dover P.O. Box 475, Dover, DE 19903-0475 Community Exellence Through Quality Service

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Council President Hare presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Purchase of Sourcewell Trucks (Actionable Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, advised that, due to a delay in amending the purchasing policy regarding cooperative purchasing over $200,000, Staff’s recommendation was to defer this item to a significantly later date. Mr. Sudler moved to defer this item to a future Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Ms. Maucher moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:03 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Emergency COVID-19 Relief Economic Retention Electric Fund (Actionable Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Emergency COVID-19 Relief Economic Retention Electric Fund. Staff recommended that if the Committee determines that the program should be pursued, Staff should be directed to finalize the application materials and institute the program for allocations beginning January 12, 2021 and running until all funds are awarded.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Patricia Marney, Customer Service Director, stated that the turnaround time from when a small business applies until they receive the services would be no more than five business days. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Marney advised that it would be handled in-house by applying a credit to the business’ outstanding utility bill. She stated that no funds would be dispersed to the business itself and that it could only be used for the utility bills. Responding to Mr. Contant, Ms. Marney provided the following information: • They currently have 3,500 business accounts and out of that number, only 55 have balances greater than 60 days past due, so they have a limited number of commercial customers that would qualify for the program. • They would like to cap the amount at $5,000 per customer, not necessarily per service location. Based on Ms. Marney’s analysis they have a very limited number of commercial customers that run the risk of disconnection. • It would be limited to up to $5,000 and they would review the customer’s history for the last 12 months of 2019. • Regarding the requirement that the business would have to qualify for other COVID-19 relief, the City would ask the business to provide a letter that states that they qualify, even if they have not previously applied for relief through other programs. • Customer Service has a listing from the State of Delaware for businesses that qualified for the Paycheck Protection Program, which is similar to what they are doing with the COVID Extended Payment Agreements. • They have a listing of business classifications that were closed by the State and could use that as a determination. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Harline stated that in the event that they receive any state or federal funding they could use some of that money to backfill this funding just to hedge against any possible losses. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval for Staff to finalize the application materials and institute the program for allocations beginning January 12, 2021 and running until all funds are awarded, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved to recess the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Meeting recessed at 6:19 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020 PAGE 3 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Lindell moved for adoption of the agenda. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried with Col. Dix voting no. Review of Active Recreation Area Plans (Request for Cash-in-Lieu) - Bay Pointe Apartments - 1080 and 1106 Bay Road and Adjacent Unaddressed Parcel on Bay Road (Planning Reference #C-20-05) (Actionable Item) Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed the active recreation area plans (request for cash-in-lieu) at Bay Pointe Apartments - 1080 and 1106 Bay Road and Adjacent unaddressed parcel on Bay Road (Planning Reference #C-20-05). Staff recommended acceptance of the proposed Recreation Amenities and a Cash-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction Donation of $30,084 for the deficit of 6,679 SF of the required 10,000 SF of Active Recreation Area. The proposed amenities, in combination with the Cash-in-lieu fee, complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the target audience, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the applicants gave the Planning Office some indication that, due to the proximity with Dover Air Force Base, that was likely some of their potential tenants for the facility. She stated that the zoning ordinance does not limit who the applicants can rent to, but they are expected to be some type of market rate apartments. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the closest City park of substantial size may be Dover Park. She noted that there may be some other smaller park areas and that the closest recreation amenity is part of the St. Jones Greenway Trail System, however, it is on the other side of Route 1 from the project site. Responding to Mr. Caldwell, Mrs Melson-Williams stated that the property is within City limits so the Dover Police Department would cover the whole territory, noting that it would be no different than any other apartment complex in the City. She advised that it will have fire lanes and appropriate addressing. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend acceptance of the proposed Recreation Amenities and a Cash-in-lieu of Active Recreation Area Construction Donation of $30,084 for the deficit of 6,679 SF of the required 10,000 SF of Active Recreation Area, as recommended by Staff. The proposed amenities, in combination with the Cash-in-lieu fee, complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF DECEMBER 15, 2020 PAGE 4 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee reconvened at 6:37 p.m. with Chairman Lindell presiding. Quarterly Reviews (July, August, and September) - Police Training Budget (Informational Item) Police Chief Thomas Johnson provided a quarterly review for the Police Training Budget, as follows: • Due to COVID-19 and the training providers not having the capacity to switch to a virtual environment, much of the scheduled training for the first half of FY21 has not occurred. They were fortunate to have some training conducted in a virtual environment. • They are preparing to meet with Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, to reconcile some of the unexpected expenses that were related to the police academy startup, which was necessary to get the recruit training done for the officer deficit that they had. • They have a handshake agreement with Dr. Gary Vilke, a research and clinical practitioner in the San Diego area, to provide the anatomy and physiology use of force training. He is a risk management specialist and directs several emergency departments and several paramedic flight programs. Dr. Vilke has agreed to travel to Delaware in the spring, with tentative dates in the last week of May. Chief Johnson reminded members that a special allotment was provided for this training. • Dr. Vilke will be training the Dover Police Department over the course of four days, eight sessions, morning and afternoon, which will allow them to get the entire authorized strength through the training program. Depending on the COVID situation in late May, if the capacity exists to open this up for other Delaware law enforcement providers, they intend to do that to get as much force multiplication out of Dr. Vilke’s training expertise. They will attempt to recover as many dollars as they can appropriately through that mechanism. • The professional service fee for Dr. Vilke will be approximately three fifths of what Chief Johnson requested. A couple of officers will have to attend the training on their days off because they cannot completely drain patrol assets for a training event of that duration, but the vast majority of the officers will attend this training during their normal tour of duty. • The residual funds following completion of this training will be returned back to the City Manager's Office because they are probably going to have at the very minimum $10,000 leftover, so they will not need anywhere close to the entire allotment that was forwarded to the department to get the project going. Mr. Shevock moved for adjournment the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

City Planner’s Monthly Report Department of Planning & Inspections NOVEMBER 2020 Planning & Inspections Highlights Some Items to Call to Your Attention Construction activity in the City continues at modest levels. During November a total of 68 Permits were issued compared to October’s 161 and the 107 Permits issued in Sep- tember. Construction values in October were lower in November from the previous month at $1,041,727 versus $3,105,000 last month bringing the year-to-date values in this Fiscal Year to just over $7,385,700. No new residential Permits were issued in November, reflecting the continuing slow residential market; however, a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was issued for a residence in Nottingham Meadows, and Certificates of Occupancy were issued for three townhouses in Patriot Village, a one-family dwelling in Nottingham Meadows, a one- family dwelling in Persimmon Park Place, and a manufactured home in Kings Cliffe. Among the Building Permits issued were several commercial renovations and tenant fit -outs including projects at Bayhealth and elsewhere in the City. Code violations continued with 344 new cases being opened in November of which 119 were property maintenance violations. A total of 559 Code Inspections were un- dertaken in November. The City is working to abate violations at four Dangerous Buildings. The Construction and Property Maintenance Board of Appeals also met in November. The Planning Commission and the Historic District Commission met last month; the Board of Adjustment did not meet due to a lack of agenda items. In continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the compliance with the Gover- nor’s Declaration of a State of Emergency, the Dover City Hall Building reopened to the public in June, but access limitations were again imposed (as of November 5th) and much of Staff is working remotely. Most meetings of Boards and Commissions along with other meetings, training and workshops were completed virtually.

Specifically, Planning Office Staff is working re- motely with select staff members in the Office for parts of each day. Planning Staff continues plan and per- mit responsibilities including accepting Plan submissions by appointment and electronically, CO inspections, conducting Meetings virtually, and managing on-going communication efforts. Other meetings, trainings, and workshops continue in a Virtual format allowing Planning Staff to participate from their computers/ desks at home or in the Office. The November Meetings of the Boards and Commissions supported by the Planning Office again were con- ducted successfully in a Virtual Meeting format using the WebEx telephone/video conferencing platform. Planning Staff conducted the Planning Commission Meeting of November 16, 2020 and the Historic District Commission Meeting of November 19, 2020 in the Virtual Meeting format. The Board of Adjustment Meeting of November 18, 2020 was cancelled due to lack of agenda items. Planning Staff is utilizing the Mu- nicode Meetings software system for preparation of Agendas and Packets for these Boards and Commis- sions. Julian Swierczek (Planner I) and Samantha Bulkilvish (Planner I) both passed the certification exam in No- vember 2020 to achieve their AICP (American Institute of Certified Planners) certification. This is the profes- sional certification in the field of Planning. They join Dawn Melson-Williams, AICP (Principal Planner) for a total of three AICP Planners in the City’s Planning Office.

PLANNING OFFICE The Planning Office is part of the review process for certain types of construction activity permits (Building Permits, Sign Permits, etc.) and Certificate of Occupancy permits. For November 2020, Planning Staff was involved with re- view of 32 Building Permits and 10 Certificates of Occupancy permits that were issued. This activity results in a 2020 calendar year-to-date total of 695 Permits and Certificates of Occupancy thru November 2020 as compared to 2019 calendar year-to-date total of 813 Permits and COs and 2018 calendar year-to-date total of 1023 Permits and COs. Staff also reviews new applications for Business Licenses and Rental Dwelling Permits. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION 2019 Comprehensive Plan The next steps with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan focus on the Implementation Plan (Chapter 15) items for the pro- jects, studies, code amendments, and other activities. Currently, the FINAL DRAFT (12.3.2019) documents and maps are available on the Comprehensive Plan website: https://www.cityofdover.com/2019-comprehensive-plan. Comprehensive Rezoning Project As a follow-up to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Rezoning Project must be completed by June 2021. In November, Planning Staff utilized GIS to perform the data analysis of the Zoning Map and Map 12- 1: Land Development Plan to determine potential zoning and land use classifications/category conflicts. Staff has been reviewing the conflicts found to determine recommended path forward for each item. Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance On November 9, 2020 Dover City Council adopted Ordinance #2020-13 adding provisions for Wireless Communica- tions Facilities (WCF) as Article 5, Section 23 – Wireless Communications Facilities to the Zoning Ordinance and oth- er amendments to the Dover Code of Ordinances. This was the result of a multi-year effort by the Planning Office, the City Manager’s Office with specialized legal counsel, the Electric Department, and the Public Works Department. Implementation of the new provisions will include a new Wireless Communications Facilities Building Permit appli- cation form and review process and the Small Wireless Communications Facility (Small WCF) Design Manual.
