CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 2 Requests for Waivers - Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - General Requirements and Design Standards, Section A - Streets (The Meadow Subdivision): Waiver of Length of Dead-End Street (Cul-De-Sac) - Jefferson Terrace; and Waiver of Increased Percentage of Lots on Dead-End Street (Cul-De-Sac) - Jefferson Terrace Members reviewed a petition to waive subdivision standards, submitted by Penntex, LLC, for The Meadow Subdivision at Jefferson Terrace. The waivers requested were as follows: 1) Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI, §A15 - Exceed the Maximum Street Length of a Dead-End Street, and 2) Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI, §A15 - Increased Percentage of Lots on Cul-de-sac. The Conceptual Subdivision Plan permits the subdivision of land totaling 4.23+/- acres into five (5) parcels for single-family, detached dwellings, with residual land to be known as The Meadow. (The name of the subdivision is currently proposed as The Meadow; however, the name must be revised. Within the City of Dover, there is an existing residential subdivision known as The Meadows. A unique name must be utilized to avoid confusion in emergency response.) The parcel is zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and R-10 (One Family Residence Zone). This parcel is located west of Monroe Terrace and south of but not adjacent to Wyoming Avenue. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the Subdivision Plan proposes an extension of Jefferson Terrace as a public street leading to the west from Monroe Terrace. The right-of-way would be 60 feet in width. The extension of Jefferson Terrace is required by the Planning Commission to be a 36-foot paved width before terminating in the cul-de-sac, which will allow for on-street parking on both sides of the street. Parking would be prohibited within the cul-de-sac. Referring to the request for waiver of length of dead-end street (cul-de-sac) for Jefferson Terrace, Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Conceptual Subdivision Plan proposes a dead-end street that is approximately 390+/- feet in length when measured from the center line of Monroe Terrace to the center of the proposed Jefferson Terrace cul-de-sac; however, the length of the proposed cul-de-sac is 440 feet when measured to the terminus of the street right-of-way. It appears that the proposed dead-end street (cul-de-sac) exceeds the permitted length of a dead-end street, as indicated in the limitation of a length of a dead-end street in accordance with Appendix A, Article VI, Subsection A15 of the Dover Code. Staff recommended approval of the request to exceed the maximum length of a dead-end street. The construction of the proposed extension of Jefferson Terrace terminating in a cul-de-sac is the only access to proposed residential lots. This is due to the configuration of the existing tract of land, the existing natural features of woodlands, wetlands, and flood plain areas, and the surrounding residential development. Referring to the request for waiver of increased percentage of lots on dead-end street (cul-de-sac) for Jefferson Terrace, Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Conceptual Subdivision Plan depicts three (3) proposed lots, or 60% of the proposed five (5) lots in the subdivision, to front on the turnaround section of the proposed Jefferson Terrace cul-de-sac. This proposed lot percentage exceeds the maximum of 20% of the lots in a development allowed to front on the turnaround section of a cul-de-sac, in accordance with Appendix A, Article VI, Subsection A15 of the Dover Code.

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 3 Staff recommended approval of the request to permit more than 20% of lots in a development to front on the turnaround section of a cul-de-sac. The configuration of the tract of land does not allow for the inter-connection of the proposed street to another existing street in order to avoid the cul-de-sac. Mrs. Townshend stated that, during their meeting of November 18, 2013, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and took action to grant conditional approval for the Conceptual Subdivision Plan of The Meadow at Jefferson Terrace, including the condition that the paved width of Jefferson Terrace be set at 36 feet to allow for onstreet parking. The Planning Commission also recommended approval of the Subdivision Waiver requests to allow the project to exceed the maximum length of a dead-end street and increase the percentage of lots on the cul-de-sac. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend stated that, although the cul-de-sac would be a little longer than other cul-de-sacs in the vicinity, it was not out of character with the area. With reference to the map previously provided to members, she stated that the map depicted a street width of 24 feet; however, the map had not been revised to depict the street width change to 36 feet that was recommended by the Planning Commission. She explained that, in accordance with the subdivision plan process, if waivers are approved, a revised map will be submitted. The Committee recommended approval of the Subdivision Waiver requests for The Meadow Subdivision at Jefferson Terrace to exceed the maximum length of a dead-end street and increase the percentage of lots on the cul-de-sac, as recommended by the Planning Commission. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent). Request for Waiver - Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 17 - Emergency Access Requirements - Waiver of Emergency Rear Access Requirement for Walker Woods/Walker Woods II Redevelopment Members considered a petition to waive the emergency rear access requirements for Walker Woods/Walker Woods II Redevelopment as required by Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 17 - Emergency Access Requirements of the Dover Code. The Site Development Plan Review permits the redevelopment of the site with the construction of 77 garden apartments in 12 buildings (currently, there are 72 townhouse units). The property is zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone) and the owners of record are Walker Woods Properties, LLC and Milford Housing Development Corporation. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that Appendix B, Article 5, Subsection17.5(a) of the Dover Code requires a 16-foot alley or an 18-foot secondary fire lane and an 18-foot sub-grade emergency access lane as emergency access to the rear building areas for two (2) and three (3) story apartment buildings. She stated that the applicant requested a waiver for the elimination of these requirements. She explained that the existing layout provided a 24-foot fire lane across the front side of each building, and the buildings would be equipped with sprinklers. Members were advised that the Fire Marshal’s Office indicated no objections to the removal of the rear access requirement for apartments for this project, with the stipulation that the buildings would be fully sprinklered and would meet the access required by the State Fire Prevention Regulations.

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 4 Mrs. Townshend noted that this type of waiver is received quite frequently and that, after having discussions with the Fire Marshal, it was staff’s intention to bring forward a Code amendment to eliminate the need for such waiver requests. She explained that the rear access requirement was instituted prior to current procedures that mandate sprinkler systems. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the waiver for the elimination of the emergency rear access. The Committee recommended approval of the requested waiver, as recommended by the Planning Commission. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent). Update - Dover High School Construction Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, indicated that the construction of the new Dover High School was moving forward and that monthly coordination meetings continued. She stated that the City would continue to ensure that the Leander Lakes Project is well coordinated with the Dover High School Project. She noted that an additional development project, Dover Christian Church, will be building on the corner property adjacent to Leander Lakes. In addition, she advised members that the City had been assured that the east entrance to the new School will be constructed and that the Planning Commission issued a parking reduction waiver; however, areas will be grassed and curbed to be made available for overflow parking for large events. She assured members that there were no issues or concerns to report at this point. Responding to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend stated that the Capital School District had requested the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to construct some of the improvements to the east entrance in an attempt to help defray those construction costs. In addition, she noted that attempts were being made to work with local legislators to obtain community transportation funds. Discussion - Changing of Meeting Day and Time Mr. Hutchison noted that the Committee had been meeting on the Wednesday following the fourth Monday of each month at 5:00 p.m. and questioned the possibility of changing the meeting day to the fourth Monday of each month at 4:00 p.m. The Committee recommended changing the meeting day and time to the fourth Monday of each month at 4:00 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent). By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Report. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 5 UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - DECEMBER 9, 2013 The Utility Committee met on December 9, 2013 with Councilman Perza presiding in the absence of Chairwoman Williams. Service Agreement for the Natural Gas Distribution System in the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP) - Chesapeake Utility Corporation Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the City of Dover has been acting as the developer of the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP). As the developer, staff felt it would be advantageous to offer natural gas service to the various tenants in the industrial park; therefore, the City has requested that natural gas infrastructure be installed within the technical park so that it is available to potential purchasers and tenants. Members were provided a standard Service Agreement submitted by Chesapeake Utilities Corporation which outlines the respective responsibilities of the City as well as Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. He advised members that the proposed Agreement has been reviewed by the City Solicitor’s Office and has been amended accordingly. In accordance with the proposed Service Agreement, Mr. Koenig noted that all costs to install the required infrastructure will be the responsibility of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation; however, the Agreement includes a revenue shortfall calculation that the City of Dover would be responsible for should the revenues from the investment not be equal to or in excess of the initial capital investment within the first six (6) years after the effective date of the Agreement. He assured members that the maximum financial exposure to the City of Dover is estimated to be less than $130,000. Mr. Koenig advised members that the proposed Agreement includes several exhibits, including a plot plan for the GOTP. Based on conversations with staff, he explained his understanding that the natural gas for tenants of the GOTP would be extended from White Oak Road through the horseshoe road network in the subdivision and back out to White Oak Road. At this time, he stated that it is not intended to be connected to the 16 inch lateral for the Calpine Project. He explained that the maximum financial exposure ($130,000) assumes that there are no tenants for the first six (6) years and that this amount would be less whatever gas Uzin Utz would be using as the first tenants to connect to the distribution system. Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute the Service Agreement with Chesapeake Utilities Corporation for the Natural Gas Distribution System within the GOTP. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. Koenig stated that Uzin Utz has gone before the Planning Commission and are working their way through the permitting process. It is their hope to break ground in March 2014, with the facility opening a year later. In response to Mr. Blakeman regarding the documents on file with the Public Service Commission and the six (6) times net revenue test, Mr. Koenig stated that he had not reviewed the documents but that staff could request the City Solicitor’s Office to review them. Responding to Mr. Perza regarding the six (6) times net revenue test, Mr. Koenig indicated his understanding that it is the standard formula used for this type of return on investment. He also indicated that the net revenue test will be conducted on the final sixth year and not done on an annual basis. He explained that the “true up” date will be six (6) years after the Agreement and noted that there is a revenue schedule provided as Exhibit B of the Agreement. Regarding the requirement for the developer to pay any shortfall amount within thirty (30) days from the time the Company gives

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 6 notice that a shortfall has occurred, Mr. Koenig stated that although a one-time payment would be required, he felt confident that there would be no issues if the City needed to establish a payment schedule. He assured members that staff would be budgeting any amount that may be required and making every attempt for no shortfall to occur by acquiring tenants. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City Manager to execute the Service Agreement with Chesapeake Utilities Corporation for the Natural Gas Distribution System within the Garrison Oak Technical Park (GOTP). Council President Bonar advised members that he had a potential conflict of interest and would be abstaining from the vote. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a roll call vote of five (5) yes (Dixon, Perza, Slavin, Hare, and Hutchison, one (1) no (Lynn), and one (1) abstention (Bonar)(Anderson and Williams absent). TEA/NAES Report (October) The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for October 2013 was provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reaffirmed that the City’s costs are coming in slightly higher than anticipated which has been a trend most of the budget year. He stated that staff has reviewed the budgets, expenses, etc. and that the City’s budget is tight. He noted that page 12 of the report provided the year-to-date amounts and that, although most items are tracking as anticipated, there are concerns with the “PJM - ARR, Transmission and Fees,” explaining that the fees are much higher than anticipated. As a result, staff has been talking with The Energy Authority for the past several months, as well as relaying the City’s concerns to both the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) and Mr. Kirk Betts, Betts & Holt LLP, the City’s Energy Attorney. Mr. Koenig stated that staff expects to submit a report to the committee in January to discuss the impact of the fees and the cause of the increases. He advised members that there has been an unanticipated reallocation of costs for two (2) entities that are purchasing power, and since the City of Dover is one (1) of the entities that purchases power off of the PJM grid, the City is subject to these fees. Mr. Blakeman explained the complexity of the PJM billing invoice and questioned if there was some way of providing a breakdown. He noted that there are 72 items listed and that there are five (5) PJM related costs for the power supply and three (3) for the plant and requested that they be listed by budget item. Responding, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that TEA currently provides the City with a breakdown of the charges by General Ledger accounts. She stated that she will request TEA to provide members a copy of the breakdown for a better understanding of the bill. The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for October 2013. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 7 UPDATES Members were provided the following updates: Calpine Energy Center/Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City continues to have weekly meetings and telephone conference calls with the Calpine Corporation regarding the Energy Center. Currently, the big items underway are the deliveries, finalization of easements, and alignment of the transmission lines from the Calpine/Garrison Energy Center back to the 230kV tie (Cartanza Substation). He stated that the City continues to work on their responsible components of the infrastructure. Pre-bid meetings were held last week for the water system, gravity sewer system, pump station force main, streets, and storm sewer associated with the project. It is anticipated that the bid package will be due during the early part of January 2014. There were approximately 20 contractors who attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting. In order to remain on schedule, he stated that staff should present the bids to City Council during the second Regular Meeting in January 2014. Mr. Koenig reiterated that there are numerous large loads scheduled for delivery in December. He advised members that Calpine has made their Industrial Waste Permit Application to Kent County and that the City is analyzing the information to determine the best path forward for the wastewater from that facility. He stated that staff continues to work through normal construction issues and that the City has finalized the alignment of the 16 inch lateral through the City property and into the Calpine/Garrison Energy Center and will not be constructing immediately adjacent to or on top of the water line that was installed a few months ago. He believed that a certificate for construction was received for the natural gas lateral. In regard to the Garrison Oak Technical Park, Mr. Koenig stated that the City is continuing to work through the final land agreement for lot #12 for the Uzin Utz facility and noted that the Planning Commission granted conditional approval. As a result, Uzin Utz is now making submissions to agencies in order to move forward with the project. Mr. Koenig reiterated the expectation that Uzin Utz will obtain a building permit in March 2014, and that construction will take approximately 12 months. Mr. Koenig explained that the Calpine Energy Projects, the Uzin Utz Project, and the City’s infrastructure project are all converging on an early 2015 completion. Dover Sun Park Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that members were provided a spreadsheet - Electric Revenue Fund, FY14 - White Oak Solar Park Incremental Cost, based on previous requests and comments. He advised members that the incremental Sun Park cost, from July through October, was $162,360. He explained that the incremental Sun Park cost reflects the increased cost to the City as a result of using solar energy, compared to the amount that would have been paid if the City used regular fossil fuel. He stated that solar energy is necessary for the City to meet the demands under the regional portfolio standards. In addition, he explained the importance of understanding that the production of this 10+ megawatts of solar energy in the summertime reduces the City’s peak demand in the PJM; therefore, while it is more expensive, it is beneficial to the City.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 8 Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried with Mr. Bonar abstaining (Anderson and Williams absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - DECEMBER 9, 2013 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on December 9, 2013 with Chairman Lynn presiding. Request of Elizabeth W. Murphey School - Grant for Judo Mats During their meeting of November 25, 2013, members considered a request of the Elizabeth W. Murphey School for the City to provide assistance in purchasing Judo mats (10-12 mats at a total cost of approximately $2,500). The committee tabled the matter so that more information could be obtained regarding where the money may come from. Mr. Rushe moved to remove the matter from the table, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Mr. Slavin stated that he would recuse himself from discussion or voting on this issue due to his relationship with the Murphey School through his job with the State of Delaware. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that his preference would be for the City not to become involved due to concerns of receiving additional, similar, requests. Therefore, he suggested that the school seek private funding. Should Council wish to grant the request, since there are no available funds in City Council’s budget, he stated that a portion of the community relations and travel expense funds in the City Manager’s budget for the current fiscal year could be appropriated to cover the costs for purchasing the mats. In accordance with City policy a cash donation could not be made, therefore, he stated that staff would need to review the policy and determine whether the City could purchase the mats directly and extend them to the Murphey School for either temporary or permanent use. Should members wish to move forward and approve the request to purchase mats through City funds, staff recommended that it be charged against the City Manager’s budget for fiscal year 2014. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig explained that the City’s current policy prohibits the City from making cash donations. Mr. Rushe suggested the possibility of the City providing “matching funds.” In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig advised members that, in the past, the City has made contributions to the Fourth of July Committee, Kent County Tourism for Old Dover Days, and the African American Festival. Regarding the contribution to Kent County Tourism, he explained that it is considered a “management” fee since they handle advertising, scheduling events, etc. for Old Dover Days. In regard to the African American Festival, he stated that the City’s contribution had previously been as high as $15,000, that an amount of $7,500 was budgeted for the current year, and that the funds were provided as a reimbursement for actual expenses. For several years, he stated that the City did not provide any funds for the Fourth of July Festival; however, to his recollection, there were times when the Festival was underfunded and the City provided a donation. For the current budget year, the Fourth of July Committee had indicated that there was no need for any donations. He reminded members that the Fourth of July Committee is a City appointed committee.

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 9 He noted that the only event that does not have direct City involvement is the African American Festival, which is a reimbursement. He advised members that for the fiscal year 2012 Budget, staff had recommended that the funding for the African American Festival be removed; however, these funds were added back into the Budget by City Council. The Committee recommended denying the request to fund the Judo mats. Council President Bonar noted that Mr. Slavin had a conflict of interest and would be abstaining from the vote. Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried with Mr. Slavin abstaining. Proposed Ordinance #2013-18 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2013/14 Members were provided proposed Ordinance #2013-18 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2013/14. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that the proposed budget ordinance represents the first amendments proposed and incorporates changes into the FY2013/14 Budget. She noted that the Committee Action Form indicated that the proposed amendments were reflected in red font; however, the copy of the proposed ordinance included in the packet was incorrect. As a result, staff provided members with a copy of the proposed ordinance reflecting the proposed amendments in red font (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, the packet was revised to include the ordinance as presented). Mrs. Mitchell briefly explained the proposed amendments, as follows: 1) amends the Beginning Budget Balances for all Funds; 2) transfers the favorability in the General Fund Beginning Budget Balance to the Civilian Pension Fund in accordance with policy; 3) amends the Electric Budget for an unfavorable Beginning Budget Balance by reducing the transfer to the Electric capital project fund (the capital project fund had a favorable budget balance and was able to accommodate the reduction in the transfer); 4) amends the Water/Wastewater transfer to the capital project fund for savings in Engineering wages in accordance with recent Council actions for project design work; 5) amends the Capital project funds to reflect the audited Beginning Balances and corresponding adjustments for those uncompleted projects with multi-year construction periods (a separate revised Capital Investment Plan was provided for review); and 6) amends Grant Funds to reflect programming changes in the Grants based on information received after the budget was approved. Referring to the beginning balance amendment in the Governmental Capital Projects Fund (line 143), Mrs. Mitchell explained that this was the result of several incomplete projects, such as the Calpine Infrastructure Project and the Street Program from last fiscal year. She stated that line 147, Contractor’s Contributions, was amended to reflect the $264,800 in escrow for the City to complete the Westover Subdivision Project. Mrs. Mitchell noted that specifics for the Capital Investment Plan Amendments have been provided to members. She advised members that the proceeds indicated in the Water/Wastewater Improvement and Extension Fund Cash Receipts/Revenue Budget (lines 345-351) were revised mainly due to project carry forwards and the new bond issue since the Calpine Project was just completed this year. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the revised beginning balance for the Electric Revenue Fund (line 421) was reduced; therefore, the transfer to the Improvement and Extension Budget (line 473) was reduced from $5.4M to $4.9 to make up the shortfall in order to keep the fund within the budget balance requirement of 8%.

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 10 Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that the City had put a substantial amount of money in the Electric Utility Rate Stabilization Reserve in fiscal year 2012 to assist the City during the next three (3) years. She explained that the revised amounts included in the Community Transportation Improvement Fund were due to projects that were not known earlier in the year. Similarly, she stated that the Library Grants and Police Grants Funds were revised to reflect grant monies that have been received that were not known of earlier in the year. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that the CDBG Fund was adjusted to reflect the Plan adopted by Council for CDBG which was accomplished after the City’s Budget was approved. She stated that the After School Program - CJC Grants was also revised since the grant monies were received after the City’s Budget was approved. Mrs. Mitchell also reviewed the Capital Investment Plan Amendments and explained that these amendments were included in the budget amendments for fiscal year 2013/14. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-18 - Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2013/14, with the First Reading to be held on January 13, 2014. Responding to Mr. Slavin’s question regarding the source for the revised budget amount related to the carry forward balance for the General Fund, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the revenues came in at approximately $170,000 over budget, with the largest being $109,000 for permits and licenses. In addition, she stated that the expenses came in $500,000 under budget. She stated that most of the savings in expenses were the result of attrition. Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that this was a one time “blip” that occurred and will be filled back in once the vacant positions are filled. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-18, as presented by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent). (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting). Draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a Presentation - Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 67 and No. 68 will require the City to report the unfunded liability on the financial statements. For the funded portion, the City can use the actuarial assumption of 7.0% for the return on investment. However, the GASB requires the City to bifurcate the unfunded liability and GASB 67 and 68 will require the use of the municipal bond rate, which is approximately 4%. She explained that when a lesser return rate is used, the liability will be raised, as is required since the City is not fully funded. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised that the actuarial assumption is 7.0%, not 7.5% as stated.) Mr. Slavin noted that the interpretation of the original GASB requirements regarding the unfunded liability was the result of some negligence on the part of City Council. He explained that the GASB 67 and 68 are more stringent standards being instituted and that the City will not know the content

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 11 of those standards until they are issued. Mr. Slavin stated the difficulty for the City to maintain very high quality finances when every few years the standards change and new guidelines are instituted, with the possibility of additional liabilities for the City. He urged staff to provide a briefing to members of the Committee and City Council on the new requirements of the GASB 67 and 68 prior to the implementation. Mrs. Mitchell advised members that the GASB requires the City to recognize the expense and if the expense is not funded, a liability is created. She explained that the GASB does not force the City to fund the expense, but if the expense is not funded, the liability must be recognized. Mr. Slavin noted that if the City were to choose not to fund the liability, it would likely affect the City’s bond rating. In addition, Mrs. Mitchell stated that in the long-term, it would affect the City’s ability to pay those benefits. Mrs. Mitchell provided members with Supplemental Information - Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013 and explained that the information contained budget to actual reports, which shows the individual budget variances. Noting that the budget balance for the General Fund is $4.2M (page 3 of attachment #2) and that the unassigned amount for the General Fund is $3.3M (page 7 of attachment #1), she explained that the difference is those non-expendable accounts which are the inventory, pre-paids, and the fair value of investments. She stated that the amount is adjusted for those non-cash items and explained that the City actually shows the higher number as the budget balance ($4.2M rather than the $3.3M) and she wanted members to be aware of the reconciliation listed that provides those details. Mr. Lynn moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried (Anderson and Williams absent). MONTHLY REPORTS - NOVEMBER 2013 By motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Slavin, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: City Assessor's Report City Manager's Report City Planner's Report Controller/Treasurer's Budget Report Economic Development Office Report Fire Chief's Report Police Chief's Report ENGAGEMENT LETTER - INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS (IBEW) ARBITRATION Members were provided a letter outlining and confirming the terms of the engagement of Baird, Mandalas, and Brockstedt in connection with the arbitration proceedings with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1238 (IBEW). Mr. Lynn announced that he has joined the law firm of Baird, Mandalas, and Brockstedt and stated that he would disqualify himself from discussing and voting on this item.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 12 Mr. Scott D. Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the terms of the engagement letter and recommended authorization to sign the letter engaging Baird, Mandalas, and Brockstedt to represent the City in arbitration proceedings related to contract negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1238 (IBEW) for a fee of $20,000. Mr. Koenig noted that the expense would be charged to the Electric Department’s budget for contract negotiations. Mr. Hare moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Lynn disqualified)(Anderson and Williams absent). EVALUATION OF BIDS - LIBRARY HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR CONTRACT Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the Department of Public Works maintains blanket contracts with contractors that are required to perform services for the City through the Department. These contracts are established in accordance with the purchasing policy. These contracts are often priced as a "time, materials and equipment" type contract and may exceed $25,000 annually. This contract will provide Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) maintenance and repair to the new Library building and includes provisions for regular and emergency call-out services. The Department of Public Works created bid documents and the bid package was advertised to the public as an Invitation to Bid in accordance with the City's purchasing policy by the City's Purchasing Agent under Bid #14-0021PW. The following three (3) contractors submitted bids for the proposed Library HVAC Maintenance and Repair Contract: Bidder Location Anticipated 3 Year Cost Summit Mechanical, Inc. Bear, DE $68,295 Modern Controls, Inc. New Castle, DE $59,190 Statewide Mechanical, Inc. Port Penn, DE $39,400 City staff reviewed the bid packages and found them free of math errors and/or discrepancies. The estimated costs for the proposed contract for FY-2014 (January 14, 2014 to June 30, 2014) is $6,450, which represents a spring servicing of the equipment and five (5) hours of each labor rate for possible emergency calls. The FY 2014 costs will be charged to 110-1500-523.30-31. It is likely that an internal budget amendment will be needed to cover these costs. The City Manager will work with the Library Director to complete the internal budget amendment after award of the contract. Staff recommended awarding the Library HVAC Maintenance and Repair Contract to Statewide Mechanical Services, Inc. in the amount of $6,450 for the remainder of FY 2014, with a total three (3) year contract price of $39,400. Mr. Slavin moved for approval of staff’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Perza and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent).

Mitchell to serve as Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) Director and Alternate Director, respectively. The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson and Williams absent).

He requested authorization to retain an expert witness to testify on the City’s behalf during arbitration. Mr. Lynn moved to authorize the City Manager to expend the sum of $15,000 associated with the retention of an expert witness for the purposes of arbitration with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). The motion was seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. Clean Hands Ordinance - Committee, Commission, or Board Member Violations During the Executive Session, Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, advised members of City Council that, in accordance with Chapter 1 - General Provisions, Section 1-13 - Clean Hands, Paragraph (c) - Appointment to Committee, Commission, or Board, any person being appointed or currently serving on a city committee, commission, or board must be free of outstanding payments or violations in order to be eligible to serve.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Meeting was held on January 13, 2014, at 3:30 p.m. with Chairman Dixon presiding. Members present were Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Perza (arrived at 3:42 p.m.), and Mr. Caldwell. Mrs. Horsey was absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. Semi-Annual Review - Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover Since July 2013 Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, reviewed the semi-annual report of employment statistics for the 15 largest employers in the Dover area and reminded members that this information is updated and presented to members on a semi-annual basis. The report provided statistics regarding jobs and businesses gained and lost in the City of Dover since July 2013. Mr. Neaton stated that the numbers had been fairly stable for the past six (6) months. Mr. Neaton advised members that Bayhealth was in the process of performing engineering and architectural studies for the addition of a floor on the previous Kent General renovation. He advised members that Kent General Hospital created a "fit out" plan for the shell space on their new building to increase the number of available beds. Mr. Neaton stated that the number of full-time and part-time employees at Delaware State University (DSU) had grown. He advised members that DSU was preparing to construct an optic center and indicated that it would be one of the finest centers in the world. Mr. Neaton noted that a Convocation Center is also planned for the future. He advised members that it will be an academic facility which will also house the sports complex for basketball and other large events and activities. Mr. Neaton stated that it is an economic development initiative which will bring conventions, car shows, and boat shows to Delaware. He advised members that DSU was previously awarded $250,000 in grant money to perform a feasibility study regarding the Center and that he and the Mayor are serving on the Committee conducting the study. It was hoped that final recommendations would be available by the end of January 2014. Referring to the decline in Comcast Cable’s employment numbers, Mr. Neaton stated that Comcast had merged some of their offices and reduced the number of staff. He was advised by Mr. Tom Worley, Director of Government Relations, Comcast Cable, that these changes were complete and it was planned to maintain current staffing levels. Mr. Neaton stated that although Proctor & Gamble’s employment levels had not changed significantly to date, the organization planned to become the sole provider of wipes, consolidate related facilities and contractors, and expand their facility. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Neaton indicated that the expansion would allow for more efficient functionality so that more product could be produced without impacting staffing levels.

Page 25

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 2 Mr. Neaton advised members that he and Mayor Carey would be hosting a Large Employer Breakfast on February 12, 2014 for a second year, noting that last year’s event was very well attended. Mr. Neaton stated that the breakfast provides a venue for interaction between the plant managers and large employers in Dover. In addition, a County-wide plant managers meeting was scheduled for January 15, 2014 at noon to provide local plant managers an opportunity to communicate and collaborate on ideas for the City of Dover. Mr. Neaton noted that the current unemployment rate in the City of Dover was the lowest it had been since December 2008. Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding meetings with the leadership at Dover Downs, Mr. Neaton stated that staff had not met with Dover Downs management in over a year. Mr. Neaton stated his intent to schedule such a meeting, along with the Mayor, and offered to share the results of this meeting with the Committee at the next meeting. Mr. Caldwell stated that he was pleased that the economic outlook for Dover appeared to be improving. Responding, Mr. Neaton indicated that the Uzin Utz manufacturing facility will hold a groundbreaking on March 13, 2014, which he stated would also be excellent for the City. No further action was taken by the Committee. Update - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Members were provided an Update of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, including the status of FY 2013 CDBG Projects - December 2013. Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, advised members that all CDBG programs were currently underway, with the exception of the Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) projects. Mrs. Harvey stated that staff was requesting that MHDC not be funded for the FY14 grant cycle because $139,000 in grant funds not been drawn down for the FY12 and FY13 fiscal years, which was jeopardizing the timeliness standards for the City for expenditure of the funds. Additionally, she indicated that procurement issues had been identified in recent audits of MHDC conducted by the City that needed to be addressed. Responding to Councilman Dixon regarding the scheduling of NCALL activities, Mrs. Harvey advised members that NCALL was planning to hold an open house in April 2014. No further action was taken by the Committee. Recreational Needs Assessment Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the City of Dover’s 1996, 2003 and 2008 Comprehensive Plans each included a recommendation to develop a City-wide Recreation and Parks Plan which to date had not been developed. She stated that in the past 20 years there had been many changes in the City and, in order to invest limited funds wisely, a City-wide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment and Plan was necessary. Mrs. Townshend indicated that the assessment should be City-wide and not focused solely on Dover Park or the recreation building at Dover Park.

Page 26

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 3 Mrs. Townshend recommended the following: • In-house staff from the Planning Department and Parks and Recreation Department will lead the development of the Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment and Plan, with assistance from the State Division of Parks and Recreation. • A variety of means will be used to engage the public and assess the recreation needs identified by the public, including workshops and a survey. In the outreach efforts, information will be gathered to assess the needs based on location. • An inventory of parks will be included and information will be gathered about the desired capital improvements for the parks, focusing on the three “anchor” parks (Dover Park, Schutte Park, and Silver Lake Park). • Specific recommendations for investments in the parks will be included based on the needs of the public, as well as for potential partnerships for meeting the needs of the City’s residents. Mrs. Townshend stated that, since in-house staff members who have numerous other obligations with the City would be utilized, the expectation is that the development of the Needs Assessment and Plan would take approximately twelve months to complete. It was hoped that the results would be provided to the Committee in January 2015. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend explained that it was planned to consult the State and Kent County when conducting the assessment, and to include non-public agencies such as the YMCA, who recently purchased 20 acres on the west side of Dover for recreational activities. She noted that discussions regarding the potential for partnerships in this regard had taken place. In response to Mr. Caldwell’s inquiry regarding reaching a conclusion with respect to the Dover Park Recreation Building, Mrs. Townshend stated that the building continued to deteriorate and, in her opinion, was functionally obsolete. She did not believe it was a question of whether the building would be kept but rather to determine if another structure should be put in its place that would meet the needs of citizens. She noted that the demands seemed to relate to the need for gym space and the existing building could not meet that need. Responding to Councilman Perza, Mrs. Townshend advised the Committee that a new Planner would be joining the City of Dover Planning staff. The intention was to dedicate this employee to taking the lead on this project, with the assistance of Mr. Wayne Voshell, City of Dover Recreation Coordinator; therefore, the Department should have the staff necessary to move forward in early February 2014. Responding to Mr. Perza, she reassured members that the assessment would include all parks within the City of Dover, not just the Dover Park, and the assessment would be conducted solely by in-house staff and not be outsourced. In response to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend reminded the Committee that the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) included a number of projects, such as a skate park and a spray pad that were originally planned for Schutte Park. She stated that this assessment would provide an opportunity to reconsider locations for those projects, decentralizing the former concept of all activities being at Schutte Park.

Page 27

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 4 Mr. Perza suggested that residents be given an opportunity to present their views, noting that a decision must be made regarding the renovation of the existing building at Dover Park versus construction of a new one. He stated that action must be taken and not put off for another six (6) months. Mr. Hutchison questioned Mayor Carey as to whether or not the proposed assessment would satisfy his concerns regarding the demolition of the recreation building at Dover Park. Mayor Carey concurred that the assessment was long overdue and felt that waiting another year was too long, noting that the building had been out of service for a year. He advised members that in September 2013 a function was held at the facility that included 125 children, and other activities had taken place in the building. He felt that the facility was still serving a purpose for the community. He noted that the assessment addresses one (1) factor in the equation; however, the portion involving the building at Dover Park needed to move faster. Mr. Hutchison stated that, with proper funding, the project could move more swiftly; however, he noted that everyone was in agreement that the assessment should remain in-house. Mayor Carey concurred. Mayor Carey stated that it was necessary to determine the needs of the area before a decision can be made on the status of the building, since if it is determined the building does not meet these needs, it should be torn down; however, it should be replaced with something that does serve the purpose. Mr. Hutchison expressed his desire to bring closure to this longstanding issue, stating his feeling that the building was a liability and a great deal of time had been invested in coming to a conclusion regarding what was best for the Park, the City and the residents, which was to demolish the building. Mr. Perza reminded members of the Committee that the topic of discussion was recommending approval of performing a Recreational Needs Assessment, not the recreational building at Dover Park specifically. Mr. James Fogell, 360 Nimitz Road, expressed his appreciation for Dover Park and shared his opinion that additional restroom facilities needed to be placed by the playground, as existing facilities are near the tennis courts. Mr. Fogell stated that the Park is used very heavily for outdoor activities by the local youth. He did not believe the recreational building should be demolished. If it were demolished, he felt that another facility should be erected in its place so that the activities at the park overall would not cease. Mr. Fogell stated his understanding that funding would be required, but expressed his observation that the City spends money on a great many projects that are not necessary and/or do not serve the needs of the general population but cater to much smaller groups. He also expressed his opinion that some of the projects the City was involved in, such as paving or adding curbs to residents’ driveways, should not fall on the shoulders of the City but should be the responsibility of the homeowner. Additionally, Mr. Fogell cited areas where grooming or landscaping was being maintained for aesthetic purposes but did not provide a purpose for the community. He reminded members that the activities at Schutte Park were all structured and typically cost money to participate in and felt that the youth and community needed a place they could go “shoot hoops,” play baseball or soccer, or participate in other open format activities rather than being required to schedule in advance, pay a fee, etc.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 5 Mr. Roy Sudler, Jr., 353 Rita Wilma Drive, provided members of the Committee with a flyer regarding a meeting scheduled by the Social Action Commission (SAC) Community Task Force of Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church on January 22, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. (Attachment #1) and invited members, as well as the public, to attend. He stated that the SAC had developed a survey, entitled “Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church’s Social Action Commission’s Community Survey of Dover’s Recreational Park Programs and Facility Assessment” (Attachment #2) and distributed it to the community. Over 300 responses to the survey had been received and would be discussed during the upcoming SAC meeting. He offered to share this information at the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting as well. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mr. Sudler provided the results of the survey to the City Clerk’s Office (Attachment #3)). Mr. Sudler indicated that the SAC plans to partner with the Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) and Dr. Phyllis Edamatsu, Assessment Chair of the DHRC and Professor at Delaware State University, in tallying the results of the survey. Mr. Sudler expressed his hope that the SAC, as an interfaith-based agency, would be considered when staff is developing partnerships to address the recreational needs of the City. He concurred with the Mayor’s position regarding the building at Dover Park, stating that if the building were demolished, another facility should be put in its place immediately. Mr. Sudler advised the Committee that his company, Sudler & Mishoe Construction, would donate 500 cinder blocks toward the construction of a new facility at Dover Park. Former Councilman Reuban Salters, 109 Bertrand Drive, stated the importance of taking care of the community’s youth and their families and providing recreational facilities. Mr. Salters expressed his opinion that the City does a spectacular job in some areas, citing the work of Mr. Zachery Carter, former Director of Parks and Recreation; however, he felt that other areas were extremely neglected, including youth programs and activities. Mr. Salters stated his dedication to the State and City’s youth, adding that times are changing and there is greater need to communicate with children, find what their needs are, and provide facilities where they can participate. He indicated that children should know they are valued and respected as they are our future. He concurred with the need for gym space and felt that space was also needed for children to be creative with arts, crafts, music and other activities that would encourage youth to explore their abilities and interests. Mr. Salters felt that the rear portion of the building at Dover Park should come down; however, he stated that the front area of the building was very strong and suggested it remain as the core part of a new facility, stating that adding a pole building could require only a $50,000 - $60,000 investment to make the facility functional and fitting to the needs of the community. Mr. Salters suggested, if the building at Dover Park was a danger and needed to be torn down, that any motion made to take action to should include the Committee’s commitment to put something up in its place. Mr. Salters shared with those present that the Inner City Cultural League holds art classes for children at the Dover Housing Authority facility on Tuesday nights where children share their artwork. He invited those who were interested to join them and view the children’s artwork from 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Mr. Hutchison stated that the original motion that was made to demolish the recreation building at Dover Park included a commitment of $80,000 to be put aside to invest in the future needs of the Park once determined. He expressed his belief that recreational needs should be addressed equally for all areas of the City. Responding, Mr. Salters stated that, while addressing the recreational needs of the City as a whole, special attention should be directed to the east side of town because residents there have no other options.

Page 29

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 6 Mr. Salters also expressed his confidence in the City and its dedication to serving the needs of the community and his belief that funding could be obtained. Councilman Dixon conveyed the importance of determining what the children want so that opportunities can be provided for activities that they will participate in. Mr. Perza moved to recommend authorizing the City’s Planning Department, beginning February 1, 2014, to perform a recreational needs assessment for the City of Dover, utilizing City staff to conduct workshops and other similar outreach efforts across the City to inventory park infrastructure and develop the needs of all of the City parks for future use. The objective will be to gather the necessary information from the public, study it, and make a needs assessment report back to the Committee by December 1, 2014. The motion was seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. For clarification, Mr. Perza stated that this motion was unrelated to the Dover Park building and that the purpose of the assessment would be to gather information from the public to determine where resources relating to the future use of all City parks should be invested. He indicated that he planned to draft a separate motion and place this matter on the Committee’s February agenda in an attempt to resolve this matter. Mr. Hutchison moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 4:36 p.m. Wallace R.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on January 13, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. with Mr. Perza presiding in the absence of Chairwoman Williams. Members present were Mr. Slavin, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present (arrived at 5:10 p.m.). AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Blakeman moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Request for Abandonment (Improved) - Budd Street - City of Dover Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that City of Dover staff requested the abandonment of Budd Street, an improved street running east-west from South State Street to Kings Highway and located north of Weyandt Hall at 5 East Reed Street, and south of the former Dover Public Library at 45 South State Street and the City-owned property adjacent to South American Avenue. Members were provided a map depicting the right-of-way proposed for abandonment (noted in red). Mr. Koenig explained that the abandonment of Budd Street would resolve mapping issues and lay the foundation for a potential re-subdivision or sale of the former Dover Public Library site. He stated that part of this right-of-way appears to have been abandoned years ago, possibly when Weyandt Hall (formerly the WSFS Building) was built; however, staff research and current mapping indicate that a ten foot (10') wide portion of Budd Street exists and is improved, since it includes the sidewalk area in front of the former library site. Mr. Koenig stated that the Budd Street abandonment was subject to the Development Advisory Committee (DAC) review process and Public Works Department staff indicated that public utility easements would be required for the existing water and wastewater infrastructure located within the subject right-of-way. In accordance with City policy, half of the right-of-way, or five feet (5’), would be conveyed to the adjacent properties. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request for abandonment, as recommended by the Planning Staff. Public Works staff recommended: 1) abandonment of the subject right-of-way with conveyance of five feet (5') of said right-of-way to 5 East Reed Street, 45 South State Street and Tax Parcel Number ED-05-077.05-04-36.00 on South American Avenue, currently owned by the City of Dover, in conjunction with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel; and (2) adoption of a Resolution by Council setting a public hearing regarding the proposed abandonment for February 10, 2014. In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig explained that approval of the current request would abandon half of the right-of-way to each adjacent property, which would allow for future internal adjustments through sale or subdivision of the property. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation and adoption of a Resolution by City Council setting a public hearing regarding the proposed abandonment for February 10, 2014, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Snaman and

Page 40

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 2 unanimously carried. [City Clerk’s Office Note: In accordance with the City’s Procedure for Alley Abandonments, Resolution No. 2014-01 setting a Public Hearing (Attachment #1) will be presented to Council for consideration.] TEA/NAES Report (November) The TEA/NAES Monthly Report for November 2013 was provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. Referring to the Executive Summary on Page 1 of the report, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that the graph depicted that the City’s actual power supply costs through the first five (5) months of Fiscal Year 2014 had been tracking slightly higher than budgeted and stated that staff would continue to monitor this issue. He noted that the City’s actual load was tracking very close to what was anticipated with the new load numbers developed for Fiscal Year 2014. As indicated during the Committee meeting of December 9, 2013, Mr. Koenig stated that staff was very concerned about the reactive service charge related to a reallocation of costs within the PJM grid, which had affected a number of entities. He informed members that Mr. Robert Trinnear, Director of Risk Management and Financial Trading, The Energy Authority (TEA), was scheduled to attend the January 27, 2014 Committee meeting to discuss the issues associated with the charge. Referring to the YTD Variance Report on Page 12 of the report, Mr. Koenig noted that, so far this year, the City was running approximately $473,000 over budget for the total utilities cost. He expressed concern with this overage and indicated that staff was monitoring this issue, but that the cost was being driven by the reactive service charge. TEA and other effected entities have been in serious discussions with PJM to determine why this cost is impacting these entities in this manner. Mr. Koenig explained his understanding that there were some changes to the cost formulas and allocations, and these increases seem to have been unexpected; however, he indicated that they are real charges which are unlikely to be readjusted. Mr. Koenig reiterated that staff would continue to monitor these costs since the adjusted revenues and load budgets for Fiscal Year 2014 are very tight. He stated that the City was steadily under budget every month last fiscal year. Mr. Blakeman expressed his appreciation for the inclusion of the alphabetical listing of the PJM charges and the addition of the summary of the accounts. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for November 2013, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. GARRISON OAK TECHNICAL PARK PROJECT UPDATES Members were provided the following updates:

Page 41

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 3 City Infrastructure Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the City was in the final processes of getting all of the approvals ready for the Garrison Oak Technical Park infrastructure. He noted that the City received an approval from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) approximately one week ago and staff was wrapping up all of the final approvals so that the final plan package could be stamped as approved. Mr. Koenig explained that bids were received last week and staff was currently reviewing those bids; however, the bids appeared to be a little higher than anticipated and they were working to determine whether any value engineering could take place. In the near future, staff will be bringing these bids before Council either to request bid approval or a budget adjustment in order to bring the bids forward for approval. Calpine Energy Center Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, informed members that staff was continuing weekly conference calls with Calpine and construction seemed to be on schedule. Last week, Calpine indicated that all of the heavy hauls that were coming in by barge through Leipsic and being transferred down Route 9 and White Oak Road were completed. He stated that this had been a major concern for him and the successful completion of the deliveries was a major milestone. Mr. Koenig credited the contractors and all of the agencies associated with the move for the flawless completion of the deliveries. He noted that a number of deliveries remained, including some oversized deliveries, but that they would all be tractor trailer loads. Additionally, Mr. Koenig informed members that staff was finishing up the easement work for the radio transmission line, which will run from the Garrison Energy Center to the Cartanza Substation. The administrative plans for the water tower had been signed off on and staff expected construction to begin soon. He stated that a lot of construction activity was planned for this area, including Calpine and City infrastructure, and there was also potential for Uzin Utz to start construction in the coming months. Mr. Koenig noted that The Energy Center was moving forward with the critical date of June 2015, when Calpine will transmit energy to the grid. In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig explained that the route for the radio transmission line had been laid out, staff had completed all of the easement preparation, as well as the appraisals of the easements, and had the official alignment. At this time, staff was only awaiting final signatures. Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding construction of the water tower, Mr. Koenig stated that the whole contract was for approximately 400 days, so by the end of this year the tower should be ready for operation. Dover Sun Park Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, noted that members were provided a spreadsheet - Electric Revenue Fund, FY14 - White Oak Solar Park Incremental Cost, based on previous requests and comments. He advised members that the incremental Sun Park cost, from July through November, was $196,192. Mr. Koenig explained that the incremental Sun Park cost reflects the increased cost to the City as a result of using solar energy, compared to the amount that would have been paid if

Page 42

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 4 the City used regular fossil fuel. He stated that solar energy is necessary for the City to meet the demands under the regional portfolio standards, as well as to comply with the Governor’s legislation for renewables. While it is more expensive, it is performing as expected. Mr. Blakeman moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:12 p.m. Adam M.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on January 13, 2014, at 5:30 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Council President Bonar (arrived at 6:01 p.m.), Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Transfer of Davis Estate Donation to the Dover Library Foundation Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that the Dover Public Library was an heir to the estate of Mrs. Sata Davis and a beneficiary of the Frank Davis Trust. The estate’s executor, Ms. Patricia Mercer, sent the Library’s portion of the estate and the trust, in the amount of $61,735.80, to the City of Dover and the funds were deposited in an escrow account. At the December 12, 2013 meeting of the Dover Library Foundation Board, members voted to request City Council to transfer the funds from the Davis Estate to the Dover Library Foundation to support its mission in accordance with its by-laws. Mr. Koenig stated that it was Deputy City Solicitor William Pepper’s opinion, upon reviewing the will, that the decedents’ intent was to benefit the Library. Mr. Koenig advised members that the topic of future donations was also discussed during the Dover Library Foundation Board meeting. He noted that all current fundraising uses the Dover Library Foundation as the beneficiary; however, it was believed that it was likely that the Dover Public Library would continue to be identified as a beneficiary for years to come. Dover Library Foundation members voted to direct the Library Director to work with the City Manager and Council liaison to craft a policy to be proposed to the City Council to determine how future contributions to the Dover Public Library would be handled. Mr. Koenig indicated that a policy to address future donations would be presented for consideration once it could be drafted and reviewed. Mr. Koenig stated that the issue at hand was whether Dover City Council would like to retain the right to decide how the donated funds would be spent to benefit the Dover Public Library. The Foundation had requested that this large donation be transferred to the Foundation so that it could be made part of the endowment to benefit the Dover Public Library, in accordance with the resolutions that were adopted previously by City Council. (City Clerk’s Office Note: During the City Council meeting held on January 12, 2009, Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-03 which created the Dover Library Foundation, and during the City Council Meeting held on February 11, 2013, Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-04 which amended Resolution No. 2009-03 to allow management of Dover Library Foundation accounts and funds to be conveyed to the Foundation.) Mr. Koenig recommended that the proceeds of the Davis estate that were gifted to the Dover Public Library be transferred to the Dover Library Foundation, as requested by the Dover Library Foundation, and that a policy be drafted that will outline how future donations of this nature will be handled.

Page 47

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Hare regarding how donations are currently managed, Mr. Koenig explained that if a gift were donated specifically to the Dover Library Foundation, the money would go to the Foundation and the by-laws of the Foundation would determine use of these funds; however, if the donation were made to the City of Dover to benefit the Library, the funds would come to the City of Dover. He stated that the donation under discussion was made to the “Dover Public Library,” which did not exist as a corporate entity; however, the intent of the gift was to benefit the library. Mr. Lynn noted that since the Dover Library Foundation is a relatively new entity, many wills and estate documents will reference the Dover Public Library versus the Dover Library Foundation. Mr. Lynn questioned if the Dover Library Foundation was a third-party, private entity. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that it is a 501(c)(3) corporation and its creation was authorized by City Council. The Foundation has its own by-laws and governing board. Mr. Koenig explained that he and Ms. Margery Cyr, Library Director, serve on the Foundation’s Board. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, expressed concerns regarding the donation. She noted that the financial policies for the City require that any infrequent or non-recurring items go toward capital projects. She explained, for example, that donations received for parks and recreation have been designated for the Parkland Reserve Fund and donations for the Library have gone to the Library Reserve Fund that was started for construction of the library. The Davis bequest was received by the City and if Council chose to direct it to the Library, it would be transferred to the Library as a contribution. Mrs. Mitchell felt that the Dover Library Foundation’s request would not be in line with the City’s cash contribution financial policy. She stated her understanding that the Foundation would like to invest the funds for future capital and noted that this was exactly what the City would do with the same amount of money; however, if the City invested it for those needs, it would be under the auspices of the City’s investment policy. In addition, Mrs. Mitchell stated that giving funds to an outside entity could create controversy in light of the current challenging economic times. Mr. Slavin expressed his opinion that the City’s fiscal policies could not undo the will of those donating funds, noting that Council had taken the previous action of setting up the Library Foundation for the purpose of receiving donations and now found itself at a place where the “new world hasn’t caught up with the old world” in regard to how money was being donated. He felt that an exception to the financial policy could be made and reminded members that Council had the power to do so. In addition, Mr. Slavin stated that these funds would be invested for future capital needs. He stated his understanding that the funds would be placed in an endowment, which was vastly different from saying that they would be invested for the purpose of using them later for capital projects. Mr. Slavin noted that funds in an endowment would be invested and the purpose of the endowment would not legally allow them to be touched. He indicated that if the endowment were set up with the Delaware Community Foundation, the corpus of the endowment would be prevented from being raided for any purpose, noting that he would be much more comfortable with this arrangement than placing the funds inside the City government. The Delaware Community Foundation, through its

Page 48

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 3 board of directors, could then determine what percentage of the interest could be used for the projects that they determine. Mrs. Mitchell expressed her understanding that Council had the right to make exceptions. She explained that the Davis will was developed in 2012 and the Library Foundation was in existence prior to that; therefore, she felt that no one present could know the donors’ intent. Mr. Slavin reminded members that Mr. William Pepper, Deputy City Solicitor, had reviewed the will(s) and provided a legal opinion regarding the intent. Mrs. Mitchell stated that Mr. Pepper’s opinion was that the funds could be transferred to the Foundation but she was unsure if this was the donor’s intent. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that if the donation went to the City, the City would be a “flow-through entity” for the funds and there would be no adverse tax consequences. Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that when funds are bequeathed to the Dover Public Library, these funds should go to the Dover Library Foundation unless they are designated for a specific purpose, such as to purchase new computers. Mrs. Mitchell stated that if this approach were taken, she would prefer that Council make it clear that any similar donations in the future would go to the Delaware Community Foundation. Mr. Hare stated that this should be in the policy unless a specific purpose is identified in the bequest. Mrs. Mitchell stated her concurrence if this was Council’s desire. Mr. Shevock suggested that when an individual or organization notifies the City that funds will be bequeathed, that the City advise those involved to make the check out properly to eliminate the need to come before Council. Mrs. Mitchell noted that the City was unaware that this donation was pending. She suggested that if the City receives a check for the Dover Public Library, Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, could provide clarification regarding how the donor wished the funds be used. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the City could manage any funds received by the Foundation that were not specifically directed to the endowment. Mr. Lynn noted that the City was still ultimately responsible for capital improvements and would continue to need funds relative to capital improvement projects separate from the Foundation. Mrs. Mitchell confirmed this, however, she noted that the Foundation can always partner with the City on those improvements. Mrs. Mitchell stated that there were no restrictions regarding the funds mentioned in the will.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 4 Mr. Slavin moved to recommend acceptance of the donation from the Davis estate in the amount of $61,735.80 and that it be transferred to the Dover Library Foundation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Slavin moved that any future donations made to the City for the Dover Public Library, unless otherwise specifically cited, be transferred to the Dover Library Foundation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare. Mr. Lynn advised members that the Dover Library Foundation was already contemplating an omnibus policy on this point and suggested that members wait to see what the Foundation had to say on this matter before proceeding. Mr. Rushe noted that the second part of staff’s recommendation was that the City Manager draft a policy that will outline how future donations of this nature would be handled. Mr. Slavin withdraw his motion and Mr. Hare concurred. Mr. Rushe moved to table the issue of the policy on future donations to the Dover Public Library until such time as the City Manager can meet with the necessary people to recommend a policy and that this policy be brought back to the Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock. Mr. Slavin encouraged staff to develop a “clean” process that is not confusing and that this be accomplished quickly since there was an audience of foundations and potential givers. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated his desire to return to the Dover Public Library Foundation to discuss the policy, which would be reviewed by Mr. Lynn as the Council liaison for the Foundation. He expected that it would return to the Committee by their meeting scheduled in approximately 30 days, or by the meeting scheduled subsequent to that date. Mrs. Margery Cyr, Library Director, stated that this matter could be considered by the Dover Library Foundation and their response could be provided within 30 days. Mr. Lynn suggested that information could be provided in the Dover Library Foundation newsletter to clarify that potential donors should make the distinction in estate documents regarding the recipients of donations. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Ms. Cyr confirmed that the Dover Library Foundation was a 501(c)(3) organization. On a call for the question, the motion to table the issue of the policy on future donations to the Dover Public Library until such time as the City Manager can meet with the necessary people to recommend a policy for review by the Committee was unanimously carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 5 Proposed Plan to Cover Dangerous Building Demolition Costs Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that, in an effort to improve the quality of life in various neighborhoods throughout the City, staff had placed a continuous effort on the removal of dangerous buildings. He noted that the FY 2014 had been very active and the City had spent or committed as much as $175,000 toward demolition efforts. Since the original budget was $140,000 for these efforts during FY 2014, Mr. Koenig proposed adjusting the budget to continue the demolition actions through the remainder of the fiscal year. He noted that the estimated demolition expenses for FY 2014 were $250,000. Mr. Koenig stated that the $110,000 shortfall in the demolition budget could be made up by transferring $20,000 in unused salary and benefits from the Planning Office to the demolition budget and the remainder could come from other General Fund division personnel budgets. These funds were available due to a Planner II position being vacant for approximately four (4) months, as well as other vacancies in various General Fund divisions. Mr. Koenig reviewed the requested amendment and prior history of the City of Dover Demolition Program. He advised members that Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, expected the demolition budget request for FY 2015 to be in the range of $150,000 - $175,000. Mr. Koenig explained that the request was necessary because the City Manager did not have the authority to amend or adjust the 10 Series budgets for open salaries to move it down into the 20 and 30 series for operating expenses and Council action would be required to adjust these budgets. Mr. Koenig requested that the City Manager be authorized to transfer unused salary and benefits in the amount of $20,000 from the Planning Division, as well as from other General Fund divisions throughout the City, to the demolition budget, which would increase the demolition budget from $140,000 to $250,000 for FY 2014. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig noted that the sale of the property does not typically happen in the same fiscal year that the demolition occurs. The City goes through the demolition process and places a lien against the property. He noted that it is sometimes two (2) to three (3) years before funds are received. Mr. Koenig estimated that the City had received approximately $80,000 - $90,000 per year in demolition receipts. He stated that some demolition expenses had been written off in the past because properties had been transferred to Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity. For practical purposes, demolitions are only considered as an expense. If revenue is recovered, it is considered a bonus. Mr. Koenig estimated the percentage of return at 50% or less. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that $20,000 would come from the Planning Department and the remaining $90,000 would come from other General Fund budgets, such as Public Works. He stated that he would be reviewing each of the General Fund division budgets and would develop an amendment. Mr. Koenig stated that he would make every effort to have the funding identified before the matter comes before Council on January 27, 2014.

Page 51

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 6 Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City Manager to transfer unused salary and benefits in the amount of $20,000 from the Planning Division, as well as from other General Fund divisions throughout the City, to the demolition budget, which would increase the demolition budget from $140,000 to $250,000 for FY 2014. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2014-01 - Amendment to Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article IV - Abatement of Real Estate Taxes; Appendix C - Downtown Redevelopment, Article II - Definitions and Article III - Eligibility; and Appendix E - Commercial and Industrial Building Redevelopment, Article II - Eligibility Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that the City offers incentives to certain qualifying industries, businesses, and homeowners to expand or locate within the limits of the City, and business and property owners to improve their properties. Tax abatement incentives are offered to certain qualifying industries and businesses to expand or locate in the City, and persons purchasing residential real property (where they will reside) within a designated area. Additionally, in the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, eligible projects may receive a full waiver of building permit fees, a full waiver of City impact fees (for multi-story mixed use development), and abatement of the property taxes on the improvements for a period of ten years. For commercial and industrial buildings, where there are renovations to establish a new business, projects may receive a 50% reduction in building permit fees, a 50% reduction in any applicable City impact fees, and abatement of the property taxes on the improvements for a period of ten years. In recent years, some of the beneficiaries of these incentives have become delinquent on City taxes and there is no mechanism to revoke the outstanding incentives if property owners are delinquent. The proposed amendments would require compliance with the City’s Clean Hands Ordinance and provide for the revocation of approved but unrealized incentives if the beneficiary of the incentives becomes delinquent on obligations owed to the City. The proposed amendments reference and are consistent with the City Clean Hands Ordinance, which prevents the City from issuing permits or establishing services for property owners who are delinquent on obligations to the City. The proposed ordinance would also make tax exempt properties ineligible for the incentives. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2014-01. Mr. Hare moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2014-01, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Request for Infrastructure Reimbursement - Wesley College Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that he had been working with Dr. William Johnston, President, over the past several months on project closeout issues associated with redevelopment around Wesley College. In December of 2012, the Dover City Council approved a construction contract in the amount of $96,411.75 with Corrado Construction, Co., to construct the Wesley College Streetscape Enhancement - Phase I. The project was funded by a Community Transportation Funds agreement in the amount of $148,604. In September 2013, City Council approved a final

Page 52

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 7 change order on the project, which increased the total project cost to $125,574.34. In December of 2013, the City Manager received a request from Wesley College to be reimbursed for work that was completed within the City’s North State Street Alley West right-of-way. This work was originally planned to be included in Phase I of the Streetscape Enhancement; however, scheduling conflicts between the College and the City prevented this work from being included in the scope of work for the Streetscape Enhancement - Phase I. The City Manager and officials from Wesley College have met with representatives from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to determine whether these costs could be added to the Community Transportation Fund agreement; however, the expenses occurred before the agreement was signed; therefore, these expenses cannot be added to the current agreement. Senator Colin Bonini has indicated that he is willing to fund other public improvements within the City in an amount at least equal to the requested reimbursement; therefore, the City of Dover would not incur a net expense on the reimbursement. There are a number of sidewalk projects in the downtown area that can be funded using Community Transportation Funds. The City Manager requested authorization from City Council to reimburse Wesley College for the expenses incurred in the City’s right-of-way ($24,500 per letter dated December 20, 2013) provided Community Transportation Funds in an amount equal to or greater than $24,500 can be secured from area legislators to replace the funding associated with the reimbursement. The reimbursement will be issued using General Fund dollars associated with the City’s Concrete Construction and Replacement Program (Project # ST1402). Mr. Koenig stated that several sidewalk projects had been identified and were being estimated by staff to be forwarded to the legislators for funding and this reimbursement is tied to Community Transportation Funds. Mr. Shevock questioned if the City would wait to obtain the funds from Senator Bonini before reimbursing Wesley College. Mr. Koenig stated that he would wait until he received a commitment on the agreements. He stated that 10% of the funds would be received when the agreement is signed and the rest of the agreement funds are typically received once an expense is incurred. Mr. Bonar commended Mr. Koenig for working with the legislative contingent on suburban street funds, noting that many infrastructure issues and projects would have to be addressed in the next several months and the next fiscal year. He encouraged staff to keep an open dialogue and respond to their requests in a timely fashion. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to reimburse Wesley College for the expenses incurred in the City’s right-of-way, in the amount of $24,500 per letter dated December 20, 2013, provided that Community Transportation Funds in an amount equal to or greater than $24,500 can be secured from area legislators to replace the funding associated with the reimbursement. The reimbursement will be issued using General Fund dollars associated with the City’s Concrete Construction and Replacement Program (Project # ST1402). The motion was seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 8 Proposed Grant-In-Aid Policy Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that, based on the requests of some members of Council, she developed a Grant-In-Aid policy. She noted that she had followed the State’s policy and modified it to meet the City’s parameters. Mrs. Mitchell advised members that if the policy were adopted, all of the documents included would merely have to be modified. Mrs. Mitchell reviewed the presentation entitled City of Dover FY 20XX - Grant-In-Aid Instructions. Referring to Form 9 - Signature Page, she stated that Council would need to make a determination if they wished to specify the signature requirements for the policy. She noted that Item # 5 on Form 9 specifies “That this organization meets the criteria established and uses any Grant-In-Aid appropriated by the City Council in accordance with those provisions and any additional restrictions that may be set forth in the Grant-in-Aid policy.” She noted that Council would need to establish this criteria. In addition, in regard to Form 10, she indicated that the State requires that a copy of the most recent audit prepared by a certified public accountant or public accountant accompany the application but allows for substitution of Sample Forms A-B-C. She indicated that Council should make a decision in this regard as well. She noted that Council would also have to determine the timeline for applications, by whom they are reviewed, and the dates for submission in relation to the timing of the budget. Mr. Slavin expressed appreciation for Mrs. Mitchell’s efforts in developing the policy. He questioned if the City was obligated to have a Grant-In-Aid program. He stated that City could send out instructions stating that applications were not being invited this year because of current fiscal constraints; however, it would prepare the City for this to be done in the future and ensure that there would be a “level playing field” for applicants. He noted that there had been criticism about the way in which some organizations had received funds in the past and others did not. Mr. Lynn, noting that there was a provision in the policy that requires any entity applying for a grant to supply an audit, asked if this language was in the State’s policy. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that it was. She also noted that the language allowed for a compilation statement by a certified public accountant or independent public accountant to be submitted in lieu of a copy of an audit with a management letter. Mr. Hare questioned if this policy would preclude a “walk-in” applicant from requesting Grant-In-Aid funds. Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that the policy would create a uniform process for all applicants. Mrs. Mitchell stated that if the Committee was in favor of the policy, she could incorporate dates and send out a notice indicating whether or not the City would be receiving applications. Mr. Lynn asked if the entities that the City had historically provided funds to, such as the African American Festival and the Fourth of July Committee, would have to fill out the application in the future if the policy were adopted. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that it would be Council’s

Page 54

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 2014 PAGE 9 decision whether to grandfather those entities in. Mr. Hare felt that these organizations should fill out the form at least the first time so that an audit would be provided. Mr. Slavin stated that, at the State level, there was a moratorium on receiving new applications; therefore, only existing recipients of Grant-In-Aid could submit applications for a particular year. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Mitchell stated that these funds had been granted previously after being budgeted and approved by Council through the request of Council. Mr. Slavin suggested that consideration of how Grant-In-Aid should be handled during the upcoming fiscal year should be included in the annual budget discussions. Mrs. Mitchell suggested that this could be included in the Council Workshop being scheduled in March to discuss budget matters. Mr. Bonar stated that the deadline for State Grant-In-Aid applications is November of each year so that they can be included in budget discussions. Noting that the City was already well into the budget process, he recommended that, starting with next fiscal year, applications be submitted no later than November 1st or November 15th, whichever Mrs. Mitchell deemed necessary. He concurred with Mr. Hare that all entities should submit an application and Mrs. Mitchell suggested that this also be discussed at the March Workshop. Mr. Slavin moved for acceptance of the City of Dover FY 2015 Grant-In-Aid Application and procedures (Attachment #1), seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m. Sean M.

Manager SUBJECT: Permanent Easement and Temporary Workspace Agreement – Eastern Shore Natural Gas REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: Garrison Oak Technology Park REVIEWED BY: Scott D. Koenig, P.E., City Manager and William G. Neaton, Economic Dev. Manager EXHIBITS: Exhibit A – Permanent Easement Agreement; Exhibit B – Temporary Workspace Agreement; Exhibit C – Temporary Workspace Agreement; Exhibit D – Authorization to use existing utility easement in GOTP EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): TIME TIMETABLE: Immediate RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager or his designated staff to execute the easement agreement and other necessary agreements with Eastern Shore Natural Gas (ESNG) to facilitate the construction of the proposed 16” natural gas pipeline across lands owned by the City of Dover as depicted in the referenced agreements. Financial consideration for the easements shall be delegated to the City Manager and the City Manager will notify City Council of the results. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The City proposes to grant a Permanent Easement as described in the Permanent Easement Agreement (Tax Parcel No.: LC-05-068.00-02-07.00-000 P/O) to Eastern Shore Natural Gas (ESNG) for the purpose of allowing Eastern Shore Natural Gas to construct a 16” natural gas pipeline to service the Garrison Energy Center (GEC). The location and description of the proposed permanent easement is detailed in Exhibit A. In addition, the proposed construction will require the use of various temporary workspaces as described in Exhibit B and Exhibit C. Upon completion of the construction of the pipeline project, all rights conveyed to ESNG by these temporary workspace agreements will terminate. Exhibit D allows ESNG to use a portion of an existing 40-foot wide utility easement that is generally described as being bisected by the lot line between Lot #7 and Lot #5, as shown on Plot Book 111/19 and on Plot Book 117/98. Financial consideration for the easements and temporary workspaces is currently under negotiation; however, time is of the essence to begin construction.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN First Reading before the Dover City Council January 27, 2014 Proposed Amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan: A summary of the proposed amendments to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan follows. 1) Addendum to Comprehensive Plan Text - The addendum relates to a number of ongoing planning projects taking place during 2014. Once these planning projects are complete, the City will use these as part of a full update to the Comprehensive Plan. Staff believes that it would be premature to update the Comprehensive Plan until the current planning projects are done. These projects include the Central Dover Neighborhood Plan, the Transportation Improvement District for the Route 13 and Bay Road Corridor, and a Citywide Recreation Needs Assessment. This addendum includes specific addenda to the Transportation Chapter and the Community Development and Housing Chapter of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. 2) Land Development Plan Amendment – Change of land use classification for on parcel of land located at the northeast corner of McKee and College Roads from Office to Commercial. This amendment has been requested by the affected property owner, in conjunction with a rezoning request, as specified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Ordinance Number: 2014-03 File Number: MI-14-01

Review of 2008 Comprehensive Plan – 2014 Addendum In accordance with Delaware Code, Title 22, Chapter 7, §702, the City is required to review its Comprehensive Plan every five years and to update and readopt its Comprehensive Plan at least every ten years. Dover City Council adopted the City of Dover 2008 Comprehensive Plan in February 2009. The Planning Office has been discussing how to go about the five-year review of the Comprehensive Plan, especially in light of several on-going planning activities. Planning Staff believes that once these planning activities are complete, the City will be able to do a complete update and re-adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. The ongoing planning activities are described below: A. Central Dover Community Plan – This plan, currently under development, is being led by NCALL with funding support from the Wells Fargo Foundation. This Community Plan will address the area bounded by William Street, State Street, Hope Street, and the railroad tracks, and also include the Lincoln Park community. Interface Studios is under contract with NCALL to develop the Plan, and is conducting a detailed assessment of the area that includes in-depth public involvement. The City is not leading this planning effort but is a partner in the process. The Plan will include comprehensive recommendations and will ultimately be the centerpiece of the Housing Chapter of an updated Comprehensive Plan. B. Transportation Improvement District – The City, DelDOT and the Dover/Kent County MPO are beginning the process of developing a Transportation Improvement District (TID) to include the Route 13 and Bay Road corridors within the City limits. In order to enter into the TID agreement and proceed with the detailed traffic study of the area, the City must amend its Comprehensive Plan to identify this TID. The results of the TID study will be an important component of the Transportation Chapter of an updated Comprehensive Plan. C. The City will shortly begin the process of performing a Citywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment and Plan. This will guide the City’s capital improvements in our park system and also be a key component of the City’s updated Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan included an implementation item as to “Develop an Open

Page 168

Space and Parks Master Plan.” This needs assessment and plan will satisfy this implementation item. D. In addition, the Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan and Design Book, which was adopted in March 2011, will be incorporated into an updated Comprehensive Plan. Given the number of ongoing planning projects that will ultimately need to be incorporated into the City of Dover’s Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Staff intends to develop an addendum to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan that would identify any amendments to the Land Development Plan that may be currently necessary as well as projects to be implemented over the next year to lay the ground work for a complete Comprehensive Plan update.

Page 169

Addendum to the Transportation Plan (Chapter 9) The 2008 Comprehensive Plan identifies the following Transportation goals: Goal 1: Preserve and Maintain the Existing Transportation System Goal 2: Increase Coordination with Agencies Goal 3: Develop and Expand Alternate Modes of Transportation Goal 4: Create Recommendations and Policies for Roadways and Development Goal 5: Air Quality: The Ozone Challenge Additionally, the Land Development Plan (Chapter 12) states the following as it relates to Route 13 and the Bay Road Corridor: US Route 13/113 Corridor The US Route 13/113 corridor is dominated by highway commercial development. For the most part, the Comprehensive Land Development Plan proposes to continue US Route 13/113 as the major commercial corridor in Central Delaware. Few vacant developable parcels exist within this area. However, potential exists for the redevelopment of older retail stores and strip shopping centers. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the renovation and adaptive reuse of older structures within the highway corridor as means of restoring property value, preventing blight and demolition by neglect, and enhancing the overall image of the highway environment. In some cases the demolition of older structures may be beneficial, and should be supported, to enable redevelopment to occur within the corridor. The constraints of the existing transportation infrastructure along this corridor have created significant challenges to redevelopment along Route 13 and Bay Road. In an effort to support the goals of the Transportation Plan and support the redevelopment of underutilized properties along the Route 13 and Bay Road Corridors, the City intends to work with the Delaware Department of Transportation and the Dover/Kent County MPO to develop a memorandum of understanding for the creation of a Transportation Improvement District (TID) and to complete the associated transportation study of the area. The plan developed to implement the TID will establish acceptable levels of service and ensure that bicycle, pedestrian, and transit needs are addressed as redevelopment moves forward. The TID will create a predictable and fair framework for developers to contribute to transportation improvements, while also identifying projects that may be appropriate for the State’s Capital Transportation Plan. Implementation Item: Work with DelDOT and the Dover/Kent County MPO to develop a Transportation Improvement District for the Route 13/Bay Road Corridor in Dover.

Addendum to Housing and Community Development Plan (Chapter 11) The 2008 Comprehensive Plan identifies the following Housing and Community Development goals: Goal 1: Encourage Balanced Housing Opportunities for All Income Levels and Phases in Life Goal 2: Preserve Existing Housing Stock Goal 3: Provide Safe Livable Neighborhoods Goal 4: Provide Homeownership Opportunities for Low/Moderate Income In recent years, the City has encountered challenges to implementing the Housing and Community Development goals within the long-established downtown neighborhoods. Home ownership rates have continued to decline, the quality of housing stock has deteriorated, and crime has caused many residents to feel unsafe. In 2012, the CenDel Foundation convened a Downtown Safety Task Force to provide an inclusive mechanism for stakeholders to come together and improve safety in the downtown. Through the leadership of NCALL, this task force applied for a grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation to develop a community based plan for improvement of the downtown neighborhood. While the City is an active partner in this planning process, it is being led by NCALL, and a community planning consultant has been retained. The completed plan is expected in late spring 2014. Implementation Item: Work with NCALL and other partners to complete and implement the Downtown Dover Community Plan. The results of this effort will be a key component to the Housing and Community Development chapter of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
