PROCLAMATION - BLACK HISTORY MONTH
The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record:
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 of
Dover and urge all citizens to recognize the essential role of the black family in shaping our nation
in the past and present.

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

Dover, Ross Street and West Street Alley West Water Main Replacement Project,

Item #2.
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.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
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

Item #2.
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.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Mr. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting,
seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:21 p.m.
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
Page 20
Page 21
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2021 PAGE 5
D
Item #2.
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 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
Page 21
Page 22
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2021 PAGE 6
D
Item #2.
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.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
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 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
Page 22
Page 23
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2021 PAGE 7
D
Item #2.
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
Page 23
Page 24
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2021 PAGE 8
D
Item #2.
doors designed into their security system. Mr. Harline noted that they were looking
at the possibility of adding a family restroom.
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.
Meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole
Report, seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT
Members were provided the Quarterly Revenue Report as of December 31, 2020.
Mr. Anderson requested an update on Customer Service revenues compared to previous years and
asked if there were problems they should be looking out for. Responding, Ms. Lori Peddicord,
Controller/Treasurer, advised that Mrs. Donna Mitchell, former City Manager, usually collected the
collections report from the Customer Service Department, and she did not because it is based on
actual billings and not collections. Ms. Peddicord advised that she would provide the information
within the next day or two. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Ms. Lori
Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, provided the Customer Services Department Daily Totals Recap
through December 2020 (Exhibit #1)).
Mr. Harline added that a 6% dip in the amount of energy requested and used, coincided with the first
wave of COVID-19 but that the building revenues are close to being on target.
Mr. Anderson, noting that licensing revenue was down about 8%, asked if it was due to a decrease
in business activity. Mr. Neil advised that there were a number of businesses that were scheduled
to open so there may be some pent up things that they do not know about at the moment. (City
Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, provided
the following information related to business licenses: There are approximately 300 unrenewed
business licenses currently, of which the fees range from $50.50 to $313 each. Also, due to a new
House Bill passed we are not collecting a municipal license fee from realtors and brokers for which
we previously had about 140 licenses. (Licensing did not have an opportunity to pull this historical
amount but they can footnote that in a future report). So not only are they seeing effects of closed
businesses due to COVID but their revenue source was decreased by the ability to collect from
certain types of businesses.
The budget for this line item has remained constant at $1,470,000.
Some comparative numbers: Actual Percentage Received
Dec 2020 - $1,356,400 92.3%
Dec 2019 - $1,395,300 94.9%
Dec 2018 - $1,414,600 96.2%)
Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of December 31, 2020,
seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried unanimously.

Item #2.
CONFIRMATION OF POLICE PENSION ELECTION - RETIRED CAPTAIN LARRY
GRAY - THREE-YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE JANUARY 31, 2024
The term of office of Retired Captain Larry Gray on the Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee
expires on January 31, 2021. Pursuant to Chapter 62 - Law Enforcement, Article III - Pension Plan,
Division 2 - Retirement Committee, Section 62-102(c)(2), notice of an election was given to all plan
members. Only one nomination was received, therefore, no election was held. Chief Johnson
nominated Retired Captain Larry Gray to serve a three-year term, to expire on January 31, 2024.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the nomination of Retired Captain Larry
Gray to serve on the Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee for a three-year term to expire
on January 31, 2024. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by unanimous
roll call vote.
846 WESTVIEW TERRACE COMPLAINT
Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that many of the
buildings damaged by the tornado last summer had been repaired and a number of others are under
active repair. He noted that the owner of 846 Westview Terrace had not yet begun repairs, citing
insurance issues.
Mr. Hugg advised that 846 Westview Terrace was inspected three different times and was cited for
the third failure on January 4, 2021 with a fine of a hundred dollars being assessed against the
property. The property owner was advised that if repairs were not made, the property would be taken
through the dangerous building process. Mr. Hugg noted that this was a particularly troublesome
property in that it is severely damaged, there have been neighborhood complaints, and being open
to the elements has caused building materials and asbestos insulation to be blown around. He stated
that there was also a partial collapse of the damaged roof a week ago.
Mr. Hugg stated that Mr. Ron Coburn, Code Enforcement, was in contact with the property owner
that afternoon. He advised that the owner has secured G. Fedale Roofing and Construction Company
out of Wilmington and they will be on site Tuesday, February 2, 2021 to provide him with a detailed
estimate and schedule. Mr. Coburn advised the owner that if he fails to provide the schedule to City
Staff, they will start the process of preparing a report to Council to declare it a dangerous building
and have it removed. The next scheduled inspection date is February 17, 2021.
PROPOSED POLICY FOR TEMPORARY EXTENSION OF COVID-19 LEAVE
Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis for the Proposed
Policy for Temporary Extension of COVID-19 Leave.
Staff recommended approval of the policy extending COVID-19 Leave until 11:59:59 on Saturday,
June 26, 2021.
Mr. Lindell asked if there was a rough estimate of the costs based on the leave that had already been
granted. Mr. Harline advised that he did not have an estimate but that he would provide it.
Mr. Neil moved for approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and
unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
D Item #3.
The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held by video conference on January 26, 2021 at
6:01 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, and Mr. Lindell. Civilian members
present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Wagner and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and
Transportation), Ms. Maucher (Utility), and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration).
Mr. Contant (Legislative, Finance, and Administration) was absent.
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.
Annexation Request - 228 Mifflin Road, Owned by Debora G. Hansen (Actionable Item)
Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed the Petition to Annex and Rezone Property
located at 228 Mifflin Road. She noted that the City of Dover does not currently provide electric, water, or
sanitary sewer. Ms. Melson-Williams advised that water and sanitary sewer are available on the opposite
side of Mifflin Road and the installation of utilities will require DelDOT approval. She noted that the
property owner is responsible for all costs associated with extending and providing service to the existing
dwelling, including tapping the sanitary sewer and water mains, paying impact fees and obtaining permits.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the area is in the high priority annexation area.
She advised that the area is considered an enclave where it is surrounded by properties in the City.
Mr. Rocha asked if extending the utilities would benefit the parcels next to the subject property.
Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that when they tap the City line, it would be the laterals for the
specific lot only. She noted that the property owner may be interested in selling the property and is trying
to prepare for the future. Mrs. Melson-Williams noted that it is a wooded area and there is some concern
with continued use of septic systems. It is in close proximity to City services, which is a better provision for
those types of services for the residential dwelling.
Responding to Ms. Maucher, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that a boundary modification with Delmarva
Power had been considered. She advised that it would be something that the City would have to be involved
in and coordinated through the Public Service Commission in order to make that service territory change,
but she was not sure they would pursue it for an individual property.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the annexation. The motion was seconded by
Ms. Maucher and unanimously carried.
Mr. Neil moved to recess the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously
carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding.
Adoption of Agenda
Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Proposed Budget Amendments to the 2019 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) -
Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (Actionable Item)
Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner/Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Administrator, reviewed the
background and analysis for the Proposed Budget Amendments to the 2019 Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) - Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed Budget amendment totaling $312,161 for Fiscal Year 2019.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Harvey stated that the budget amendment falls within Fiscal Year 2019
because the round of funding was done during Fiscal Year 2019 and they already amended that plan. She
advised that the accounts are set up and will be a lot easier. She noted that Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of
Planning and Community Development, said they could continue to amend it in the Fiscal Year 2019 action
plan since it has already been amended previously.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Harvey stated that she had not been informed by Mr. Hugg if they were
going to receive a third round of allocation yet. She advised that there was a need right now for motel
vouchers, utilities and even rental assistance. Mrs. Harvey noted that there had not been a lot of requests for
anything else to fund from the Delaware Health and Social Services (DHSS) at this time.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rocha and
unanimously carried.
Segal Waters Consulting - Classification, Compensation and Benefit Study (Actionable Item)
Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, and Mrs. Kim Hawkins, Human Resources Director, reviewed the
background and analysis for the Classification, Compensation and Benefit Study conducted by Segal Waters
Consulting (now Segal). Ms. Paula Singer, Ms. Cristy Reetz, and Ms. Katie Kiesel of Segal Waters
Consulting, reviewed the Classification and Total Compensation Study Report of Findings and
Recommendations.
Staff recommended approval of the implementation of the Classification, Compensation and Benefit Study
as presented.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Hawkins stated that she believed that the 10 organizations that responded
were sufficient to give them good data in regard to population size. She noted that Segal Waters Consulting
brought forward some places in New Jersey; however, she and Mr. Harline recommended against using
New Jersey organizations because they felt their population and communities were vastly different from the
ones in Dover.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 2021 PAGE 3
D Item #3.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Singer stated that when comparing cities in Maryland, the cost of living was
taken into consideration in the comparables because it is less expensive living in Dover. She advised that
they apply a geographical differential based on the cost of labor in both cities. Ms. Singer stated that they
put a discount based on the amount that is between the two of them.
Mr. Sudler asked how they define the cleanup process for job descriptions and what criteria is met for their
recommendation. Responding Ms. Reetz stated that when they are talking about cleaning up titles, they are
looking at the job duties being ascribed to them. She noted that if there is work in multiple departments
requiring similar minimum requirements and skill sets, they would combine that into one classification and
clean up the titling.
Mr. Sudler asked if Segal Waters Consulting verified that employees are actually performing the duties they
say they are performing. Responding, Ms. Reetz stated that there is a part of the Job Description
Questionnaire (JDQ) process where they ask supervisors to review and comment on what the employees are
telling them. She noted that they also went through the process with their draft recommendations, passing
that through Mr. Harline or Mrs. Hawkins to identify any errors, concerns or issues that they might have or
see in their recommendations based off of the JDQ’s. Ms. Reetz advised that they also did interviews with
supervisors, managers, and employees, just to clarify the data that they collected.
Responding to Mr. Sudler regarding a career ladder, Ms. Singer stated that they would start with reviewing
the City’s philosophy. She advised that some organizations like to have a lot of different levels so that
employees can increase their skills and move up and some do not because there is not enough in the budget
or not enough of a differentiation between jobs in order to create that kind of career ladder. Ms. Singer stated
that they also believe that a career ladder does not always mean up, it can mean transferring laterally to other
parts of the organization. Ms. Singer advised that from their interviews with the project team and the rest
of leadership, they have information that they learned through the classification study, where they could see
what new jobs might be created and where some real ladders should be considered.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Reetz stated that Grade 1 and Grade 4 were just open grades. She noted that
they believe that they could use those if the City wanted to implement the system throughout the City for
all positions or to have something that would work with all positions.
Mr. Neil stated that it would be helpful to see where the City was currently and what is being proposed.
Ms. Singer stated that they could get a comparison of both salary scales. Mr. Lindell requested that
information be forwarded to the Committee for review.
Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding contracts, Mrs. Hawkins stated that they asked Segal Waters
Consulting to review the planners, accountants, librarians, and engineers, which are represented by the
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Union. She advised that with
Mr. Harline, they would have to have a conversation with AFSCME leadership with any recommendations
coming out of the study and hopefully get a memorandum of understanding with them and that AFSCME
would be willing to accept their finding. Mrs. Hawkins stated that it would be a conversation that they would
have to have since they are the exclusive bargaining representatives for those positions.
Mr. Lindell stated that there are some positions that are Council appointed. He asked if that would constrict
Council when it came to salary negotiations. Responding, Ms. Singer stated that it would give them a
Page 34
Page 35
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 2021 PAGE 4
D Item #3.
framework but that they could do what they wanted. She noted that she would hope that Council would talk
with Mr. Harline or Mrs. Hawkins about it because they would want to pay attention to internal equity and
what is fair. Mr. Harline noted that those positions were evaluated.
Mr. Slavin moved to recommend approval of the implementation of the Classification, Compensation and
Benefit Study as presented, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare.
Mr. Neil stated that they still had time to review the information if anybody had any concerns with the
material. He urged Council members to take a good close look at it and that if they had a problem, they
would still have a chance to bring it up.
The motion to recommend approval of the implementation of the Classification, Compensation and
Benefit Study, as presented, was carried with Mr. Anderson voting no.
Update on Body Worn Cameras
Chief Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background for Update on Body Worn Cameras.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed Body Worn Camera Program ($799,930.10 over five years)
and the evidence manager position ($357,572.00 over five years) needed to maintain the program.
Mr. Taylor asked if the LAN analyst would be a day shift position, noting that if it is a night shift position
and the person who handled the evidence had to go to court it would create overtime. Responding, Chief
Johnson stated that the position will compliment the Evidence Technician position and they do not see a
departure from the current cycle of need for an evidence individual. Chief Johnson noted that he was not
familiar with any times that the Evidence Technician would have to testify for an electronic data
transmission. He stated that normally they would see overtime associated with the physical movement of
evidence from their building to court and hand something over and testify that they actually put their hands
on it and did not contaminate it. Chief Johnson advised that with the digital audit trails, he thought they
could probably anticipate instead of one individual handling all the overtime needs for evidence, it would
probably be the same amount of hours spread across two different people. Major David Spicer noted that
the primary Evidence Technician would primarily be working day work to support those evidence needs,
therefore, if they are required to testify in court for chain of custody they would be available so that they
would not have to pay overtime.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated that because the Taser Model X26's are obsolete, AXON
is going to take all of the product back. Mr. Josh Sparks, AXON, stated that there was some credit for those
weapons, contractually.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Roscoe Brown, AXON, stated that in the event that there was a piece of
equipment that needed to be exchanged, spares were included in the original contract. He noted that they
simply ask that they ship the other one to them, on AXON’s cost, and they would ship the spare back once
it is put into production.
Responding to Mr. Rocha regarding public access to the police videos and Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) restrictions, Chief Johnson stated that he was not aware of any large barriers to public dissemination.
He noted that they were doing a policy revision and advised that they were going to be leaning towards as
Page 35

D Item #3.
much transparency as he could deliver and as quickly as he could without stepping over the statutory
limitation.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the proposed Body Worn Camera Program ($799,930.10 over
five years) and the evidence manager position ($357,572.00 over five years) needed to maintain the program,
as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha.
Ms. Lachelle Paul asked when the cameras would be available for use for the department. Responding, Chief
Johnson stated that they have to identify an employee, do in-house training, and prepare to absorb all of it
into their processes. He stated that they also have to make sure that the City does not have to find money
between now and the end of Fiscal Year 2021. Chief Johnson advised that the proposal is that they sign
paperwork and take delivery of the product before they apply for grants.
Mr. Andre Boggarty, Chief Advisory Council Member, stated that he supported the body cameras. He stated
that he did brief research and found that, according to the National Police Funding database, one case could
cost more in settlement money than the devices and the services that they needed to support the devices.
Mr. Boggarty noted that he reviewed the Body Worn Camera policy from New Castle County and wanted
to make sure that the City had a robust policy that included that it was for the protection of the officers and
that it was clear that failure of an officer to properly use that device had some level of disciplinary action
be built into the policy. He noted that he spoke to other leaders in the community, including the President
of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and they want to support
the Dover Police Department in this endeavor. Mr. Boggarty asked if they would consider doing a PSA to
the City once the body cameras are implemented to show how the camera will work and the purpose of the
cameras, which are for the protection of the police officers and citizens.
Responding to Mr. Lindell, Chief Johnson stated that the body cameras interfaced with each other and could
activate themselves in certain instances. Chief Johnson advised that there was also proximity activation. The
Axon body-worn cameras know when they are around other body-worn cameras. If anybody involved at a
scene forgot to press a button, when the backup officer arrives, or vice versa, the cameras tell each other
automatically to turn everybody on. He noted that the proximity feature was through Bluetooth technology.
Responding to Mr. Lindell regarding financing, Mr. Harline stated that they will need to bring back a final
contract at some point in Fiscal Year 2022. Mr. Harline noted that there is a chance that they would need
to enhance revenue for this and other reasons, but those choices would need to come together with the
budget package.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the proposed Body Worn Camera Program ($799,930.10
over five years) and the evidence manager position ($357,572.00 over five years) needed to maintain
the program, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously
carried.
Review of Expenditures - Dover Police Academy (Actionable Item)
Mr. Matthew Harline, Interim City Manager, and Police Chief Thomas Johnson reviewed the background
and analysis for Review of Expenditures - Dover Police Academy.

D Item #3.
Staff recommended approval of the Spring Academy expenses, if the State Academy is not a viable option
for Spring 2021 and to direct Police Command Staff to prepare a full budget for a FY 2021-22 Academy for
the budget review process with assistance from the several departments affected.
Mr. Taylor expressed his support in ensuring that the Dover Police Department is the agency that is training
the municipalities on policing in 2020.
Mr. Neil moved to table this item with the understanding that it will come back with facts and figures. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock.
Mr. Anderson stated that he did not support the motion to table the item. He stated that instead he would
support the Staff recommendation because they need to move towards the spring semester, and to authorize
Chief Johnson to do the research. He noted that the recommendation does not commit them to the fall, which
he was not committed to yet because they do not know what conditions will be.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Harline clarified that they were not close to having the full accounting
for the first semester. He advised that it was an emergency response and they needed to take into
consideration what they were going to give up when they ask the state for money from this. Mr. Harline
stated that there are other projects in the City and every time they go to the state there are buckets of money
and maybe there was money that would go to just the Academy. He noted that there may be a good need for
a Municipal Police Academy in Dover that is much more focused, but he did not know.
Mr. Rocha asked if Mr. Neil’s motion to table the item would hamper conducting a spring semester.
Responding, Mr. Harline stated that it would be useful for the Committee to take action with enough time
for Staff to plan a spring semester. Mr. Harline stated that right now it looked like it would cost a little over
$16,000, which was not budgeted beyond transfer and what they would have spent for training anyways. He
noted that they could get as much as $15,000 in revenues, in response.
Responding to Mr. Lindell regarding funding for the spring session, Mr. Harline stated that they could be
coming close to breaking even since there were no new capital cost. He noted that they would have to
transfer some money into training because their overall training budget for new recruits will be larger
because they did not originally plan for 15 recruits.
Chief Johnson noted that they have had discussion with the Criminal Justice Council about certain portions
of the Academy curriculum that they currently offer. He stated that they typically try to keep the census for
the Academy at roughly 25 people. Chief Johnson advised that interest in the Spring session was high and
they have received commitments for half, which should get them beyond the $16,000.
Mr. Neil withdrew his motion. Mr. Shevock withdrew his second.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the Spring Academy expenses, if the State Academy is not
a viable option for Spring 2021, and direct Police Command Staff to prepare a full budget for a
FY 2021-22 Academy for the budget review process, with assistance from the several departments
affected. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried.

COVID-19 Vaccine Information (Dr. Richard Pescatore, Chief Physician, Delaware Division of Public
Health) (Informational Item)
Due to the absence of Dr. Richard Pescatore, Chief Physician of Delaware Division of Public Health,
Mr. Taylor requested that this item be deferred to the next Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee
meeting.
Mr. Sudler moved to defer this item to the next Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee.
Mr. Hare stated that the next Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting would not be for
another month and suggested that the item go on the next Council Committee of the Whole agenda as a
special addition.
Mr. Sudler withdrew his motion.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hare stated that the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting
would be a special session during the Council Committee of the Whole meeting of February 9, 2021.
Mr. Sudler moved to defer this item to the Council Committee of the Whole/Special Safety Advisory
and Transportation Committee meeting of February 9, 2021. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare
and unanimously carried.
Update on Social Professional/Law Enforcement Collaborative
Police Chief Thomas Johnson provided an update regarding the Social Professional/Law Enforcement
Collaborative. He advised that the two basic issues are funding and identifying appropriate partners to ensure
that the threat to service disruptions would be minimal. Chief Johnson stated that they had identified several
sources that would allow them to have more than one person submitting a plan and a process for them to
evaluate as a resource for the community, but also something that was going to function well with the
community policing unit.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting,
seconded by Mr. Shelton and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 8:53 p.m.

In general, billed consumption should be less than total water production.
Water & Wastewater Flow Data Billed discharge is generally less than total flow to county, due to inflow and
infiltration. Total flow to county can be higher than total water production
250,000,000 with a significantly higher than average rainfall occurs. A billing discrepency

City Planner’s Monthly Report
Department of Planning & Inspections
DECEMBER 2020
Planning & Inspections Highlights
Some Items to Call to Your Attention
Construction activity in the City continues at modest levels. During December 116 permits were is-
sued compared with 68 permits in November and October’s 161. Construction values in were higher
in December than in November at $3,500,510 versus the previous month at $1,041,727, bringing the
year-to-date values in this Fiscal Year to just over $10,886,000.
14 new residential permits were issued in December perhaps indicating some uptick in the residen-
tial market (4 individual one-family dwellings and 10 townhouses). A Temporary Certificate of Occu-
pancy was issued for a residence in Nottingham Meadows, and Certificates of Occupancy were issued
for two townhouses in Patriot Village and one family dwellings in Nottingham Meadows and in the
Downtown area.
Among the Building Permits issued were several commercial renovations and tenant fit-outs includ-
ing projects at J.P Court, Delaware Transit facility, Hardee’s, site work at the manufacturing facility
(US Corrugated) on POW/MIA Parkway, the City’s Water Treatment Plant, and at Olde Oak Shopping
Center.
Code enforcement continues with 313 new cases being opened December of which 136 were proper-
ty maintenance violations. A total of 800 Code Inspections were undertaken in December. The City
is working to abate violations at four Dangerous Buildings and to close cases resulting from August’s
tornado.
The Planning Commission met in December to consider two applications (Day Care on N. West
Street—approved, and an apartment complex on Bay Road—denied); the Board of Adjustment and
Historic Review Board did not meet due to a lack of agenda items. Three requests for amendments to
the Land Development Plan map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan were received in December. These
will be submitted to PLUS and be considered by the Planning Commission and Council in February
and March. Additionally, staff is working on identifying zoning and land use classification conflicts in
preparation for the comprehensive rezoning requirement.
In continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the compliance with the Governor’s Declara-
tion of a State of Emergency, access limitations remain imposed at City Hall (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.

PERSONNEL AND TRAINING
The closure of the City of Dover Buildings (including City Hall) to the public continued in through December
2020. Staff continued working remotely (where possible), staggered shifts, and limited staffing in Office dai-
ly as part of the City’s Continuity of Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the compliance
with the Governor’s Declaration of a State of Emergency for Delaware. Specifically, Planning Office Staff is
working remotely with select staff members in the Office for parts of each day. Planning Staff continues
plan and permit 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 com-
puters/desks at home or in the Office.
Educational and training opportunities in December for Planning Staff included the following: Webinar
Event on December 3rd entitled “FEMA Building Code Trainings: I-Code Flood Provisions and the NFIP”
attended by Dawn Melson-Williams; and the Delaware APA Chapter Annual Meeting and Law Review Event
on December 2nd attended by Dawn Melson-Williams, Julian Swierczek, and Samantha Bulkilvish.
PLANNING OFFICE—Permit Reviews
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 December 2020, Planning Staff was
involved with review of 85 Building Permits and 7 Certificates of Occupancy permits that were issued. This
activity results in a 2020 calendar year total of 762 Permits and Certificates of Occupancy thru December
2020 as compared to 2019 calendar year total of 868 Permits and COs and 2018 calendar year total of 1119
Permits and COs. Staff also reviews new applications for Business Licenses and Rental Dwelling Permits.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
2019 Comprehensive Plan and Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021
The next steps with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan focus on the Implementation Plan (Chapter 15) items
for the projects, studies, code amendments, and other activities. Information is available on the Compre-
hensive Plan website: https://www.cityofdover.com/2019-comprehensive-plan. Each December is the an-
nual opportunity for requests to be made for Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. By the filing dead-
line of December 15, 2020, there were three (3) Requests for Comprehensive Plan Amendments filed re-
questing changes to the Land Use Classifications on Map 12-1: Land Development Plan Map for five (5)
specific properties. These Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2021 Requests will be submitted for Prelimi-
nary Land Use Services Review (PLUS) in January 2021 and will begin their formal review process.
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 December, Planning Staff utilized GIS for the data analysis of the Zoning Map
and Map 12-1: Land Development Plan identifying the potential zoning and land use classifications/
category conflicts. Staff has been reviewing the conflicts found to determine recommended path forward
for each item and planning the review schedule activities for 2021.

BOARD AND COMMISSION ACTIVITY
The December 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 December 21, 2020 in the Virtual Meeting
format. The Board of Adjustment Meeting of December 16, 2020 and Historic District Commission Meeting
of December 17, 2020 were both cancelled due to lack of agenda items.
Planning Staff is utilizing the Municode Meetings software system for preparation of Agendas and Packets
for these Boards and Commissions.
Board of Adjustment
The Board of Adjustment did not meet on December 16, 2020. The next Board of Adjustment meeting is
scheduled for January 20, 2021.
Historic District Commission
The Historic District Commission did not meet on December 17, 2020. The next Historic District Commission
meeting is scheduled for January 21, 2021.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission met virtually on December 21, 2020. The next regular Planning Commission
meeting is scheduled for January 19, 2021. The Applications listed below were considered.
• C-20-04 Kid Clouds Child Day Care at 113 North West Street - The Planning Commission granted condi-
tional approval of a Conditional Use application for a Day Care facility with conditions that it is only for
ages 0-12 months because there is not an outdoor playground and the applicant is not sure that it would
be a safe area for an outdoor playground. The application is to establish a Large Family Day Care serving
up to 12 children within an existing building. This property was previously subject to Conditional Use Ap-
plication C-16-01 The Gathering Place Large Family Daycare. The Application C-16-01 was granted Condi-
tional Approval by the Planning Commission at their February 2016 meeting, Final Plan Approval on April
18, 2016, and was in operation until October 2018.
• C-20-05 Bay Pointe Apartments at 1080 and 1106 Bay Road - The Planning Commission denied this Con-
ditional Use Site Plan Application for construction of two (2) Multiple Dwelling-Unit (Apartment) Build-
ings consisting of a three-story 39,750 SF building with 30 units and a three-story 30,864 SF building with
24 units for a total of 54 apartment units and associated site improvements. The denial by the Planning
Commission was based on the Zoning Ordinance, Article 10, Section 1.1 as the lack of emergency acces-
sibility there which coincides with the Fire Marshal’s rejection of their waiver for the rear emergency
access; and Article 10, Section 1.2 as this does not fit in with the character of C-4 (Highway Commercial
Zone) as it is an isolated area and the quality of life of the residents would be greatly affected. The pro-
posed Apartment buildings required Conditional Use review in the C-4 zoning district. The three existing
lots to be consolidated total 3.302 +/- acres and are zoned C-4 (Highway Commercial Zone). The proper-
ty is located on the southwest side of Bay Road at the intersection with Lafferty Lane. Waiver Requests:
Reduction of Arterial Street Buffer and Elimination of Rear Emergency Access. For Consideration: Active
Recreation Plan and Request for Cash-in-Lieu of Recreation Area Construction.
