REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING The Regular City Council Meeting was held by video conference on January 11, 2021 at 7:33 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Staff members present via video or telephone were Police Chief Johnson, Ms. Peddicord, Mr. Harline, Mr. Hugg, Mr. Rodriguez (arrived at 7:40 p.m.), and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was also present. The invocation was given by Mayor Christiansen, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2020 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of December 14, 2020 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Rocha and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION - DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL MATTHEW BROWN The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Recognition into the record: CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION presented to MATTHEW BROWN On September 23, 2020, Deputy Fire Marshal Matthew Brown received a citizen complaint regarding a candle catching fire and exploding. Upon receiving the complaint, Deputy Fire Marshal Brown compiled all the necessary information and requested permission to go to the business within the City of Dover and purchase the candles in question. Along with his colleagues, Deputy Fire Marshal Brown conducted a test and discovered that the candle in question ignited into a flame reaching 6 inches tall and a temperature of 800 degrees. Due to the test burn, a Notice of Violation was issued to have the candles removed from the business within the City of Dover. Deputy Fire Marshal Brown then reached out to the State of `Delaware Fire Marshal's Office, submitted his findings on SaferProducts.gov, and was in contact with the attorney representing the company that manufactured the candles. The company is now engaged in a volunteer recall with the Consumer Safety Commission. Following this submission, Deputy Fire Marshal Brown was contacted by SaferProducts.gov and advised that the issue had been duplicated and that there was a voluntarily worldwide recall on the candle.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 2 With Deputy Fire Marshal Matthew Brown's dedication to the safety of the City of Dover residents, he has without a doubt saved property loss and possibly lives around the world. The City of Dover extends sincere appreciation to Matthew Brown for his outstanding public service. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Council President Hare thanked Deputy Fire Marshal Brown for his due diligence and excellent work. Mr. Brown thanked members for the recognition and noted that it was the team effort of their whole office. He stated that he could not have done it without his partners and supervisor, Jason Osika, as well as the support of Mr. Hugg. MAYOR ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN VETO - ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE #2020-05 AMENDING CHAPTER 22 - BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS, ARTICLE IX - LODGINGHOUSES; ARTICLE X - RENTAL DWELLINGS; APPENDIX B - ZONING; AND APPENDIX F - FEES AND FINES During their Regular Meeting of December 14, 2020, by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted Ordinance #2020-05 amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article IX - Lodginghouses; Article X - Rental Dwellings; Appendix B - Zoning; and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. On December 21, 2020, the City Clerk received a letter from Mayor Robin R. Christiansen disapproving the motion, which stated: “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 1 X - 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 10 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 3 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. Respectfully Yours, Robin R. Christiansen Mayor, City of Dover” Mr. Neil moved to reaffirm previous Council action to adopt Ordinance #2020-05 amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article IX - Lodginghouses; Article X - Rental Dwellings; Appendix B - Zoning; and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. [Approval of the motion requires a 2/3 majority vote (six affirmative votes) since the original motion was vetoed by Mayor Christiansen]. CO UNCI L COMM I T T E E O F T H E WH O L E REPO RT - DECEMBER 15, 2020 The Council Committee of the Whole met by video conference on December 15, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Members of Council present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor (arrived at 6:05 p.m.), and Mr. Lindell. Mayor Christiansen was also present (arrived at 6:40 p.m.). Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell (arrived at 6:19 p.m.) and Col. Dix, Retired, (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Ms. Maucher (Utility), and Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 4 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. 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 5 • 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. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. 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. 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.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 6 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. (Planning Staff Note: The Planning Commission considered the Conditional Use Site Plan Application C-20-05 Bay Pointe Apartments at 1080 and 1106 Bay Road at their Meeting on December 21, 2020 and took action to deny the Application. Therefore, action on the associated Active Recreation Plan and Request for Cash-in-Lieu as previously proposed is not required.)

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 7 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. 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’s 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

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 8 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. Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. MONTHLY REPORTS - NOVEMBER 2020 By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Rocha, 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 Police Chief's Report UPDATE ON CODE ENFORCEMENT AND CRIME MITIGATION - REED AND NEW STREETS Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that Code Enforcement has continued to monitor the Reed and New Street area and provided an update on December activity, as follows: • 8 South Queen Street - Expired business license was resolved when the owner renewed their business license. • 102 New Street - Vacant building without electricity - this unit was sold to NCALL. • 104B South State Street - Two violations, one involving insufficient or no gas service resulting in no heat, and the second involving junk, litter, and debris in the exterior areas. A second inspection was conducted December 30, 2020 due to non-compliance. Follow-up inspection was scheduled for January 11, 2021 and additional code enforcement action will be taken if necessary.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 9 • 2 South Queen Street - violation involving junk, litter, and debris from the exterior of the property - scheduled for review January 11, 2021 and additional code enforcement action will be taken if necessary. Mr. Hugg advised that in the same period of time in this target area, NCALL has successfully purchased 35 and 39 North New Street; 49 South Kirkwood Street (which has gone to demolition); The Elks Club, and the properties at 217, 225 and 235 North Kirkwood Street. He noted that there are demolition applications pending on some of those properties. Mr. Hugg advised that in the same time period in this target area, Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity purchased 127 and 133 South Queen Street and 13 South New Street. Mr. Sudler stated that he had been driving through Reed Street and New Street between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and noted that there has been a cluster of individuals sitting and a lot of debris and trash at the left corner of New Street when driving northbound from Loockerman Street. He also noted that the trash cans are overflowing and suggested that more, larger trash cans may be needed for the area near the apartment building. Mr. Sudler stated that he believed they needed to cite the property owners that are allowing individuals to just sit there and throw all the trash on the premises. He advised that they spent a lot of time cleaning up the community two or three weeks ago and they made a major difference. Mr. Sudler suggested that Code Enforcement could let property managers know that they could also be held accountable or cited for debris or people just loitering. He also suggested that the Chief of Police could provide more police presence to keep them from loitering. Mr. Hare thanked Councilmen Sudler, Anderson, Rocha and Taylor for the excellent job they did organizing the cleanup, noting that it really looked very good. Mr. Slavin stated that he believed that the property behind the former ACME building was owned by NCALL. He advised that two of the lots were purchased by the City and sold to NCALL and they now have a bundle of lots there where single family homes are supposed to be going up. Mr. Slavin noted that the property line for the Downtown Dover Partnership ends at the back of the former ACME building. He suggested that fencing off the lots and improving the lighting in those areas would be helpful in deterring loitering. Mr. Slavin requested Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, to marshal the forces of Public Works and the Electric Utility to do a walkthrough of those blocks to look at the need for repaving of sidewalks, possible striping of the streets, and LED lighting for that area. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Enhancement, advised that he would follow-up the following day on the status of the house in the 800 block of Westview Terrace that was damaged by the tornado. Police Chief Thomas Johnson provided an update for the month of December, as follows: • 10 self-initiated property checks were performed by either patrol officers of community policing officers;

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2021 PAGE 10 • There were five events that involved three arrests and two significant reports; • A field contact led to a warrant arrest for someone with a violation of probation; • The Street Crimes Unit made a drug dealing arrest and that led to a search warrant at a property at another location, which yielded positive results; • There were a couple of disturbance incidents, including one firearm discharge, that they are continuing to investigate. Mr. Taylor asked if it were possible to consistently place the command post in the area for an hour or more a day over a period of time to flood the area with law enforcement. Responding, Chief Johnson stated that they were willing to try any strategy that would work and that he was not opposed to innovation or different ideas. He noted that identifying the right time of day would be important and advised that it could result in moving a quality of life problem or a disorderly problem from neighborhood to neighborhood, as well as around the clock. Chief Johnson noted that it could be difficult to generate enough resources to provide a sustainable law enforcement presence over the full waking hours of the day. He advised that they are taking the overarching strategy of asking the patrol and street crimes units to perform their functions at a disproportionate amount that they would be doing in other parts of the city, noting that everything is focused on New and Reed Streets. Mr. Taylor stated that he believed that if they collaborated with the Department of Health and Human Services and other entities the command post could be a beneficial presence and he believes that they need to use extraordinary means to make it safe. He stated that to ride by every day and see the exact same things over and over again, and then expecting something different to happen, was not a strategy he thought should be continued. Chief Johnson stated that he would invite Mr. Taylor to the next meeting of command staff to discuss ideas. Mr. Sudler concurred with Mr. Taylor and stated he would like to see a mobile police station or command station. He stated that they have faced these issues for at least 15 or 16 years and they cannot afford to continue to talk about it; they need to act on it. Mr. Anderson concurred and advised that he knew people who would be willing to help to bring resources in to help with issues of addiction if such a station were set up.

PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, during Black History Month we celebrate the many contributions and achievements made by African American 's to our nation. The Association for the Study of African American Life and History has chosen "The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity" as the 2021 Black History theme which explores the African dispersion, and the spread of black families across the United States. The black family has been a topic of study in many disciplines - history, literature, the visual arts and film studies, sociology, anthropology, and social policy; and WHEREAS, its complexity as the "foundation" of African American life and history can be seen in numerous debates over how to represent its meaning from a historical perspective - as slave or free, as patriarchal or matriarchal, as single-headed or dual-headed household, as fictive kin or blood lineage, as legal or common law, and as black or interracial. Variation appears in discussions on the impact of parenting, childhood, marriage, gender norms, sexuality, and incarceration. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE do hereby proclaim February 2021 as BLACK HISTORY MONTH in the City ofDover and urge all citizens to recognize the essential role of the black family in shaping our nation in the past and present.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held by video conference on January 12, 2021 at 6:01 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Members of Council present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler (arrived at 6:03 p.m.), Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Civilian members present via video or telephone for their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell (arrived at 6:26 p.m.) and Col. Dix, Retired, (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Ms. Maucher (Utility), and Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). 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. Taylor and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Ross Street and West Street Alley West Water Main Replacement (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for Ross Street and West Street Alley West Water Main Replacement. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction, Inc., for the City of Dover, Ross Street and West Street Alley West Water Main Replacement Project, Bid #21-0015WW, for the amount of $599,599. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend approval of Staff’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Proposals - Elevated Water Storage Tank Inspection and Maintenance (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Evaluation of Proposals for the Elevated Water Storage Tank Inspection and Maintenance. Staff recommended awarding the ten (10) year contract to Corrosion Control Corporation for the Elevated Water Storage Tank Inspection and Maintenance project. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Lyon stated that they received one proposal on the project from the company, Corrosion Control. He noted that they submitted the proposal in September and because of the funding shortfall, they asked them if they would be willing to hold the prices firm, which they put in writing. Mr. Lyon stated that they solicited from numerous companies, but a lot of the companies did not want to deal with the new regulations until they understood them better because of the infancy of the regulations. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the ten (10) year contract to Corrosion Control Corporation for the Elevated Water Storage Tank Inspection and Maintenance project, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 12, 2021 PAGE 2 Wellhead Redevelopment Program - Change Order (Actionable Items) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Wellhead Redevelopment Program - Change Order. Staff recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the Wellhead Redevelopment Program and providing additional funding to make the necessary improvements to the wells. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that they were not revising anything in the water quality improvement fund because of the bid price of agenda item #1 - Evaluation of Bids - Ross Street and West Street Alley West Water Main Replacement. He noted that because the bid price was significantly under budget, they would not have any time to utilize those funds in any other method. Mr. Taylor asked if they were asking for an exact dollar amount or if they were guesstimating what they were going to need. Responding, Mr. Lyon stated that $58,600 was a firm number, provided that once they open it up nothing else is problematic. He noted that the City had no plans for the surplus of $146,126 other than contingency in case something drastically goes wrong with another project. Mr. Taylor recommended that they keep it. Responding to Mr. Taylor regarding the City's deep wells, Mr. Lyon stated that all of the wells were running the way that they should be. He noted that the work that they want to accomplish with the change order would only increase the efficiency and long-term health of the wells. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Lyon stated that they currently have locations in sight for new wells. He advised that they have a site earmarked for a future well in Fiscal Year 2022s budget and that the location is yielding approximately 625 gallons per minute. Mr. Lyon noted that the site is located at Silver Lake Park off of Washington Street and that they have investigated and worked with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on it. Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mr. Lyon advised that the City has interconnection agreements with Tidewater Utilities, Inc., but about 99% of the time it was only going toward Tidewater. He stated that they purchased water from the City and there was an interconnection on the Northern part of the City. Mr. Taylor moved to recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the Wellhead Redevelopment Program and to provide additional funding to make the necessary improvements to the wells, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:21 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 12, 2021 PAGE 3 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Due to Mr. Lindell’s limited access, the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Council President Hare presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Sale and Disposition of Real Property - Right of Way Adjacent to 107 Silver Lake Drive (Actionable Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Sale and Disposition of Real Property - Right of Way Adjacent to 107 Silver Lake Drive Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to sell the property located adjacent to 107 Silver Lake Drive to Bruce D. and Della M. Parham for $1.00 under Exception D of Section 2-422 of the City of Dover Code of Ordinances. Mr. Harline advised that Mr. Neil and Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, discovered that the City had addressed this piece of property during the Council Committee of the Whole meeting of July 27, 2015 and declared the property a surplus. He noted that under Exception C, they had determined that the property was eligible for conveyance because it was an odd shaped parcel. Mr. Harline stated that the property is adjacent to the property at 107 Silver Lake Drive, an almost rectangular shaped piece of property that has no value to the City, that if conveyed, would still leave them 50 feet. Mr. Harline clarified that they were asking for City Council to approve the Staff recommendation and grant them the ability to transfer the property to the abutting landowner without an appraisal. Mr. Neil stated that when this request was previously considered, the residents in the area advised that the deed of this area would originally permit them to have access to the shoreline and, in 2015, this would have eliminated that passageway. He asked if this proposal meant that the people in that area would have access to get to the shoreline from the property or if it would cut them off from the piece of property. Mr. Neil stated that they had been through this and the only thing different in what they have requested is that they will pay $1.00 a year for the property, whereas before they were asking to receive it for no cost to the City. Mr. Neil advised that City Council denied this request in 2015 and noted that if it was the same piece of land, he was going to recommend denying it. Mr. Harline stated that he was going to look over the record and that he misread that it was denied before under Exception C. Responding to Mr. Harline, Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, stated that there would be a 50-foot wide access all the way down to the shoreline. Mr. Slavin stated that when the current McGlynns Pub was built, the City ceded some of the shoreline along the lake to allow the developer to meet the storm water management requirements. He noted that it slipped past City Council and that caused quite a stir up for them. Mr. Slavin stated that he did not think they should take lightly the decision to transfer to private ownership the area that they hold in trust for others, for future

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 12, 2021 PAGE 4 generations, regardless of the reason. He advised that the neighborhood was quite upset that it was brought forward. Mr. Neil stated that because this request is being made on a regular basis, there should be a way to designate the area for public access to that shoreline. He noted that it should be accessible to anybody. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend tabling the issue and allowing Mr. Harline and Mr. Lyon to conduct further research to see if there was a compelling public interest in transferring this property. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Slavin noted that in the period that the item is tabled, to prevent this from falling off the radar screen and then coming back again, they could simply put a permanent conservation easement on the parcel that they wish to retain. Mr. Harline stated that it was possible that the current property’s setback from the property line is probably inadequate. He noted that if City Council would permit him to look into preserving the entire width at the shoreline back to the edge of Lake View Drive, they could maybe cede that one piece to get that property and most of the driveway off of the City’s property. Mr. Harline stated he wants to see if that is advantageous to the City. The motion to recommend tabling the issue and allowing Mr. Harline and Mr. Lyon to conduct further research to see if there was a compelling public interest in transferring this property was unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:37 p.m. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Update on Park Workshops (Informational Items) Mr. Robin Eaton, Parks and Recreation Director provided an update regarding the Schutte Park Skatepark Design Workshop of December 15, 2020 and the Dover Park Improvement Project Workshop of December 17, 2020. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the skatepark security, Mr. Harline stated that they were considering both a gate with a pass key exit or entrance and a camera system. He noted that they were looking at a cost in the neighborhood of $40,000 to $50,000. Mr. Harline advised that one of the ways to keep the park secure would be limiting access from cars and the other would be to incorporate a camera system and proper

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 12, 2021 PAGE 5 lighting. He noted that they did not think a fence would be particularly useful and that the Skatepark Project had cautionary tales about trying to fence the area. He noted that they need to keep a good relationship with the regular users, as they may provide a lot of information if there are damages. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Eaton stated that they would have programming for beginners and advanced riders. Mr. Harline noted that they will have programming and anything that would get kids active and off a screen all the time. He stated that skateboarding is a sport where people can enjoy and develop physical fitness without having a league. Mr. Eaton noted that they could even include some competitions. Responding to Mr. Rocha regarding competitions, Mr. Eaton stated that he did not think they would be bringing in a Vans-sponsored event, but that the park would have enough things in it that they could host their own type of small, minor event. Mr. Rocha stated that he was concerned about the liability related to after hour activities and suggested some form of surveillance in the area. He stated that hopefully it could send a signal to the Dover Police Department. Mr. Neil asked if the skatepark would be free for City residents and if there would be a charge for non-city residents. Responding, Mr. Eaton advised that, in his past experience, they tried to charge initially; however, it was an extreme policing issue and eventually they made it free for the park that he was at. He advised that charging was not out of the question, but without having a Staff member there all the time, it would be difficult. Mr. Neil stated that it may be worthwhile considering it as a policing measure. Mr. Eaton noted that they did encourage people to at least register with them. Mr. Taylor asked if they were going to have "skate at your own risk" signs or if the City would be held responsible for any injuries. Responding, Mr. Harline stated the amount of liability injuries from a skatepark tend to be very low, but they would have signage and rules would be posted. Mr. Harline advised that their insurance company has already given them some suggestions and Grindline and the Skatepark Project had some recommendations. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline stated that they would provide Connor Strong with the design and they would review it and make insurance recommendations. Mr. Harline stated that, according to the insurance company, it was not going to increase their overall costs, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of $700,000 a year for liability insurance. Mr. Slavin stated that this discussion came up previously and they heard back that really it was no different from a lot of the activities that take place in parks. Col. Dix expressed concern regarding the pond near the skatepark at Schutte Park and wanted to ensure that the bowl is higher than the elevation of that water. Responding, Mr. Eaton stated that the streetscape area was lower and the bowl portion will actually be backfilled to have it higher than the actual current ground level. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the Dover Park Improvement Project, Mr. Eaton stated that the restrooms in the park building would be accessible from both outside and inside. Mr. Eaton advised that the idea would be to have the exterior doors designed into their security system. Mr. Harline noted that they were looking at the possibility of adding a family restroom.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 12, 2021 PAGE 6 Responding to Mr. Caldwell regarding safety concerns, Mr. Eaton stated that they currently have two gates at the front and back of Dover Park and there is a camera at the front of the park. He noted that once the building was built, there would be staffing there from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. He advised that in this year's budget they were starting to run some fibers for a camera that will get the back part of the park and the new building that will all link to the police department. Mr. Eaton noted his Staff leaves at 8:00 p.m. and that there could be discussion moving forward of a police officer utilizing the office for that side of the City. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Eaton stated that the building would be the first priority and would be in the coming year's budget. Mr. Eaton noted that they are hoping to break ground in the fall, possibly having the building ready in the spring, and the splash pad in the summer of 2022. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Eaton stated that they needed funding. Mr. Sudler stated that they might do some grassroot initiatives. Mr. Rocha asked if the plan expanded all the way to back of Dover Park. Responding, Mr. Eaton stated that in the overall plan there were features in the back of the park. Three items were identified in the survey as priorities: a community garden, a natural playground area, and completion of a trail that would connect the whole park together. Mr. Eaton stated that the master plan does include the back part of the park, but at this point, those were the three identified priorities. He advised that the basketball and tennis courts were redone. Responding to Mr. Neil regarding the Can-Do Park, Mr. Eaton stated that their design is similar to the Can-Do park located in Milford, Delaware. Mr. Harline noted that the design was intended to make it accessible to children with a variety of different disabilities and interesting to kids without disabilities. Mr. Harline noted that Ms. Lisa Chase, Grant Writer, was actively working with foundations and Rotary clubs in combination with grant writing and fundraising. He stated that they were going to need a few hundred thousand dollars to bring all of these projects forward, in addition to the money that they have received from the state grant-in-aid program. Mr. Eaton stated that they were in the stage with Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP where they should start seeing hard numbers. He noted that they if they had to, they would always keep moving forward with the projects in phases. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole – Legislative, Finance and Administrative Committee DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager’s Office DATE SUBMITTED: January PREPARED BY: Matt Harline, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Policy for Temporary Extension of COVID-19 Leave REFERENCE: None RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: Matt Harline, Interim City Manager EXHIBITS: A – Proposed Temporary COVID-19 Leave Policy EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: unknown AMOUNT BUDGETED: None FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Department personnel budgets. TIME TIMETABLE: This policy if adopted would extend additional sick leave RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the policy extending COVID-19 Leave until 11:59:59 on Saturday, June 26, 2021 as described in the attached proposed policy. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION: On March 18, 2020 Congress enacted the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCRA") (P.L. 116-127) which mandated that employers extend sick leave for up to two weeks in addition to existing sick leave (80 hours for full-time employees and an average number of hours in a two-week period for part-time employees) with certain guidelines and tax credits for entities that paid income taxes. There was no reimbursement for local governments for the added burden of the cost of additional leave. Leave could be granted for required isolation if the employee tested positive, for required quarantine if there was a close exposure, or to provide care for a child or for a person in quarantine. The City followed these federal mandates and even extended this benefit to emergency responders who were categorically excluded from the FFRCA. All of these benefits would have expired on December 31, 2020 except that I extended the leave until the Council could act on this policy. The City has experienced a number of positive cases and a few employees got fairly sick with a couple requiring brief hospitalizations. A summary can be seen below. Forty-three of the cases were reported in a forty-day period from October 28 – December 10. Month August September October November December January Total Cases 3 0 2 27 16 2 50 I feel that it is in the best interest of the Council to adopt this policy and extend COVID-19 leave for the following reasons: • This is more equitable than only giving leave to those who were exposed before December 31st; • It does not increase the amount of leave mandated by FFRCA, it only extends it for those who have not expended their allotment; • It removes any incentive to withhold information about possible exposures, and, although I doubt anyone would do this, withhold positive COVID-19 test results; • It extends the leave until the end of the last full pay period in this fiscal year which eliminates any budgeting issues;

• As written allows for up to 48 hours of leave for recovery from a vaccination shot; The current guidelines related to a COVID-19 isolation or quarantine will be followed for isolation and quarantine. After review of the policy, staff and the COVID working group urges adoption of the policy.

Exhibit A CITY OF DOVER DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE PROCEDURE TITLE: Temporary COVID-19 Leave Policy PROCEDURE: (Insert #) DATE: January 8, 2021 PURPOSE This procedure provides guidance for the extension of the COVID-related leave for a specific period of time until the public health hazard is determined to be mitigated in the Dover area. The purpose of extending the additional leave is to discourage workers from returning to work after exposure to a person infected with the novel coronavirus (SARS- Cov-2/COVID-19). This merely extends the additional leave for full-time employees that have not exhausted their 80 hours and part-time employees that have not exhausted the value of two (2) weeks of their normal pay of leave directly related to COVID-19. This policy will expire at 11:59:59 on Saturday, June 26, 2021 unless the City Council of Dover takes further action or the order is rescinded, whichever comes first. PROCEDURES Although the Federal Government did not extend the mandate for COVID leave as described in the original Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFRCA) when they extended some FFRCA benefit, we will continue to due so in the City of Dover. The reasons for being eligible for leave remain the same with one addition. Employees may take Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) for the following reasons: 1. Employee is subject to a Federal, State, or local quarantine or isolation order related to COVID-19 – the COVID-19 test results must be provided; 2. Employee has been advised by a health care provider or by a public health official to self-quarantine related to COVID-19; the written advisement is to be provided; 3. Employee is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (reference the end of this memo) and is seeking a medical diagnosis; 4. Employee is caring for an individual subject to an order described in (1) or self- quarantine as describe in (2); 5. Employee is caring for his or her child whose school or place of care is closed (or child care provider is unavailable) due to COVID-19 related reasons; or 6. Employee is experiencing any other substantially-similar condition specified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; or

Exhibit A 7. Employee is experiencing symptoms related to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Leave for getting a vaccine is not to exceed 3 work days – maximum 24 hours – for each shot without a note from a healthcare provider. The combination of leave, holidays and weekend/scheduled days off may not exceed four consecutive days without a note from a healthcare provider. For reasons #1 - #3 and #7, compensation is the employee’s base wage however not to exceed $511 daily. For reason #4, #5 and #6, compensation is 2/3rd of the employees’ wages up to a maximum of $200 per day for employees who have been with the City for 30 days. The amount of leave from the initiation of the FFRCA until the expiration of this policy shall not exceed eight (80) hours for any full-time City employee and the value of two (2) weeks of normal pay for a part-time City employee. Any additional leave will be deducted from the employee’s’ sick leave or vacation accrual. If no sick leave or vacation accrual is available, the employee will be place on leave without pay status. Any employee who comes to work when they know that they are infected with the COVID-19 virus, even if they are not displaying symptoms, is subject to discipline. Failure to obey isolation or quarantine requirements will subject employees to discipline as well. Approval by City Council: (Insert Date Upon Approval) DISTRIBUTION: 1. City Department Heads 2.
