DOVER PROFILE
The City of Dover is in Central Delaware in Kent County and is the capital of Delaware. Dover is approximately
90 miles south of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and 90 miles east of Washington, D.C. While its population is
significantly less than that of Wilmington, Delaware, Dover encompasses a larger area than any other city on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. In contrast to most major cities in the northeast United States, Dover is continuing to grow
economically, in population, and in land area. The City has an estimated population of 38,412 and a total land
area of approximately 23.74 square miles.
The City of Dover was founded in 1683 by William Penn. In 1717, it was officially laid out over an area of 125
acres by a commission of the Delaware General Assembly. It grew to nearly 1,000 acres in size by 1960.
Prodded by the need for better fire protection emphasized by several fire losses, the town began the establishment
of a water system in 1881. Dover is fortunate to be located above an underground supply of water which has proved
more than enough to meet its needs.
Electricity came to Dover about the year 1900 when the water plant became the Light and Water Plant with the
installation of its first steam generating facilities. Current was initially supplied for street lighting, but by the year
1902, electricity was being produced and sold for commercial lighting. The electric generation and distribution
system grew with the town and beyond. Today, Dover provides electricity to approximately 25,231 customers
inside and outside City limits. North American Energy Services (NAES) manages the generation plant, and power
is now purchased utilizing services from The Energy Authority (TEA). Customer sales are approximately $82
million
The greatest periods of expansion in Dover occurred in the years following World War I and World War II.
Completion of the Dupont Highway throughout the length of Delaware in 1924 acted as a catalyst. Between 1925
and 1936, Dover's limits were extended and its infrastructure improved.
In 1937, the firm International Latex Corporation was the first major non-agricultural industry to Dover in 1937. It
has since been a major source of employment in the area.
In the years immediately preceding World War II, the City of Dover acquired land for the construction of an airport.
This land was developed and activated as Dover Air Force Base during World War II. Following the war, personnel
at the base was reduced to a housekeeping unit until reactivated by the Military Air Transport Service in 1954. Since
that time, it has been developed into one of the largest military air freight terminals in the world.
Dover was first incorporated in 1829 under a charter granted by the General Assembly. After 1929, Dover was
named a city, and administration of all departments of government came under the City Manager. The only
exception was the police department which was placed under the direction of the Mayor. Today, the City Council
appoints the City Manager, City Clerk, City Controller/Treasurer, City Solicitor, City Planner, Fire Marshal, and Tax
Assessor who all report directly to Council. The Chief of Police still directly reports to the Mayor. An organizational
chart is included in the Introduction section of the budget on Page 7.
Dover's governing body is composed of a full-time mayor and nine council members, with one council member
elected by Council to serve as Council president. Council members are elected from four council districts and
serve staggered four-year terms. One member of Council and the Mayor are elected at-large and serve four-year
terms. The Council is responsible for all matters of policy and is also the authority for levying taxes, securing
revenues, authorizing expenditures of City funds, and incurring City debts.
Various committees of the Council study and recommend actions to the full Council. These committees are made
up of Council members and citizen members but must be chaired by a Council member. The committees currently
are: Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee; Utility Committee; Safety Advisory and Transportation
Committee; and Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee.

MAYOR
The Mayor is the executive and chief elected official of the City of Dover. In general, the Mayor is the elected
representative of the citizens of Dover. The Mayor appoints the Chief of Police, subject to Council confirmation, and is
responsible for the Police Department. The Mayor effectively represents the citizens of Dover; corresponds and works
with staff and elected officials of the City in order to maintain and address issues and concerns with priority given to
protecting the quality of life that we love and enjoy; maintains and builds communications with citizens, the business
community, neighborhood civic associations, and elected officials of the City, county, state, and national levels for the
betterment of the community; promotes the economic and social interests of the City and the general welfare of its
citizens; and serves as an ex-officio member of all committees.
CITY COUNCIL
The nine City Council members are the elected representatives of the citizens of Dover. The City Council is responsible
for appointing the City Manager, City Solicitor, City Clerk, Finance Director, Planning and Inspections Director, Fire
Chief, Fire Marshal, and Tax Assessor. City Council effectively represents the citizens of Dover; formulates and enacts
public policy in response to current and anticipated needs within political, administrative, and fiscal constraints;
provides community leadership as the legislative and policy-making body of the municipal government; supervises City
administration; and oversees citizen boards and commissions.
CITY MANAGER
The City Manager leader for all departments that do not report to the Mayor or City Council (Central Services;
Customer Services; Human Resources; Information Technology; Parks and Recreation; Library; Public Works; Water,
& Wastewater; and Electric) and serves as the chief administrative officer for the city. The City Manager’s Office
provides support to all departments. The City Manager's office coordinates City government activities; receives and
responds to citizens’ complaints, inquiries, and requests; monitors Capital Investments Projects; provides
administrative support to Council and Council committees; coordinates City legal work through the City Solicitor; and
works at the pleasure of Council. The City Manager’s office is also responsible for coordinating, preparing, and
publishing the City's Capital Investments Plan, the annual budget, and the biennial revenue manual.
Emergency Preparedness became a function of the City Manager’s Office in Fiscal Year 2013. Emergency Preparedness
provides for emergency planning, preparation, and response to events through developing and coordinating emergency
response plans within the City; providing training to departments on the Emergency Operations Plan; and conducting
exercises to test portions of the Plan. In 2020 the position of Grant Writer was added to the office.
CENTRAL SERVICES
The Central Services Department consists of the Purchasing & Inventory, Facilities Management, and Fleet
Maintenance divisions. Central Services handles purchasing, warehousing, and issuing of supplies for all the City
departments. Facilities Management maintains and cleans all City buildings. Fleet Maintenance handles the upkeep of
City vehicles. Beginning Fiscal Year 1999, this function was provided through a combination of contracted and in-house
service.
CITY CLERK
The City Clerk's office provides administrative support to the Mayor and Council, often acting as liaison between elected
officials and their constituents to resolve concerns and answer questions. It maintains all official municipal records
including agreements, easements, and transcripts of all Council and standing committee meetings. It serves as the
depository for all funds received by the City with the Clerk acting in the capacity of Assistant Treasurer. This office
coordinates and presides at all official elections and referendums and is responsible for maintaining official voter
registration records.

CUSTOMER SERVICES
The Customer Services Department is composed of the Customer Service and Meter Reading divisions. Customer

13,000 water, wastewater, and sanitation customers for utility services. Customer service also send bill for taxes and
receives payments. This area also handles delinquent collections and legal matters involving billing for all utilities and

The Finance Department provides the City Council with assistance in formulating policies and financial analyses. The
Department oversees several of the City’s key financial policies and monitors internal controls. The Finance Department
coordinates and provides for the processing of all financial data in a timely, accurate, and cost- effective manner. The
Department is responsible for debt management, pension fund management, investments, accounting, payroll,
accounts payable, and the annual audit for all City Governmental and Business Type entities. This allows the Department
to monitor budgetary requirements; to invest the City's funds for safety, liquidity, and yield; and to comply with all City,
state, and federal laws.
FIRE
The Fire Department protects the lives and property of the citizens and visitors of the City of Dover by providing fire

MAJOR INDUSTRIES
The Dover and Greater Dover Area economy are fueled by several nationally known companies such as Kraft/Heinz
Foods; Procter & Gamble; Edgewell Personal Care Brands, (formerly Playtex) and many others. In 2021
Delmarva Corrugated Packaging, a state-of-the art corrugated box manufacturer will open its doors. DCP will bring a
457,000 square foot facility valued at over $80 million to the City with upwards of 150 new well-paying jobs.
Dover is the Capital City of Delaware and houses the State Executive and Legislative offices and state government
employees. Dover is also the county seat for Kent county government activities. Dover is home of four higher education
institutions with Delaware State University which has recently acquired Wesley College, Delaware Technical and
Community College, and Wilmington University.
KRAFT/HEINZ FOODS
Dover is the home of some of America's most famous convenience food products such as Jell-O Gelatin, Jell-O
Puddings and Pie Fillings, Jell-O Cheesecake, Jell-O No-Bake Pies, Jell-O Americana Desserts, Baker's Coconut, Minute
Tapioca, Dream Whip, Capri Sun, Kool-Aid, Tang, Stove Top Stuffing Mix, and Shake ‘N Bake. All are "Produced
with Pride" by the men and women of the Dover operation of Kraft Foods. Raw materials from around the world flow
into the 121-acre site where they are processed in the 27-acre facility. The finished products are shipped to all 50
states, Canada, and the Middle East.
EDGEWELL PERONSAL CARE DIVISION (PLAYTEX PRODUCRS)

military port facility on the east coast. Located about five miles south of the capital city of Delaware, Dover Air Force Base
is the home of the 436th Airlift Wing (AMC) and the 512th AW (AFRES Associate) – “The Dover Team.” Viewed from
almost any angle, the impact of the air base on the Air Force mission and the landscape and economy of the Delmarva
Peninsula is like the huge C-5M Super Galaxy airplanes flown by the wing’s four airlift squadrons – extremely far-reaching
and impressive. Through a Joint Use Agreement opportunity exist for civil air operations in conjunction with the adjacent
state-owned Civil Air Terminal and the Kent county Aeropark.
The base also operates the largest aerial port facility on the east coast and serves as a focal point for military cargo
movement to Europe and the Middle East. The Port features a mechanized-computerized cargo handling arrangement
which is one of only two that exist in the United States and which makes possible the processing of up to 1,200 tons of
cargo during a 24-hour period. The people at Dover Air Force Base are actively involved in a variety of off-base
activities, and a strong base- community program provides a forum and a spirit for military and civilian cooperation at
all levels.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND FUTURE GROWTH
Dover is the dominant center of population, employment, commerce, education and culture in Central Delaware.
Economic growth continues in all sectors, with significant construction and permit activity occurring during the most
recent year. Population and employment growth remain steady, typically running ahead of the County growth rates.
Growth in the health care and commercial/retail sectors is especially strong, with significant new projects occurring
throughout the City. Revitalization of the historic Downtown commercial core continues, along with increasingly
successful efforts to revitalize older nearby residential neighborhoods.
Total value of commercial construction in FY 20 was approximately $30.0 million, reflecting many projects still under
construction. Almost 2,000 building permits of all types were issued along with 3,000 business and related licenses and
almost 3600 rental licenses. Year to year comparisons are not necessarily indicative of the health of Dover’s economy,
due to the timing of activity and the variability of general economic factors.
Growth and development trends during fiscal year 2019 are discussed below.
Population Growth
The last decennial census was conducted in 2010 and set Dover’s population at 36,047. The population estimates for
the 2020 decennial census anticipate Dover to top 39,000 residents. The Delaware Population Consortium estimates
that Dover’s October 31, 2020 population is 38,412, or a 6.5% increase since the 2010 count. Dover’s population is
projected to grow to 41,769 by 2035, with a sustained growth rate of about 3% during each of the next five-year
periods. Statistically, Dover’s population is younger than that of the County or the State, with a slightly lower proportion
of the population of senior citizens as well. Working-aged adults (23-64) are projected to remain stable as a percentage
of the City’s population, making up slightly less than half of the City’s population through 2030.
Residential Development
Dover’s residential market is slowly emerging from the prior recession 12 years ago, but older developments are
seeing increased build-out, and the market for apartment units has been strong. Significant activity has occurred in the
Village of Cannon Mills PND, Clearview Meadow TND, Patriot Village, Seskinore, Oak Shadows, Nottingham
Meadows, and Lexington Glen; many of which are nearing final completion. These projects, and general residential
construction, are expected to have a positive impact on Dover’s rate of population growth.
Downtown Dover Redevelopment
Revitalization of the historic Downtown core is continuing in both commercial and residential sectors. Building plans are
moving forward for a two-building office and retail center on Loockerman Street, along with potential new businesses
locating in existing spaces. Through the efforts of National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor (NCALL) Research
and others, several deteriorated and blighted residential properties have been demolished, and are being replaced by
new owner-occupied dwellings, transforming entire block-fronts adjacent to the commercial core. During 2020, eleven
residential units and two commercial units qualified for Downtown Dover Development incentives. Over $17,000 in City
Downtown Development District incentives were awarded in 2019.
Retail/Commercial Development
This sector is showing significant growth with new and expanded locations along the major highway corridors and
throughout the City. Construction of Capital Station (replacing a long vacant industrial building on US13) continues to
add tenants, including Aldi, Starbucks, Supercuts, Red Robin and Village Optical, with others underway. Lidl built a
new grocery facility nearby. Century Engineering and Chesapeake Utilities completed new headquarters buildings
along the Bay Road Corridor, with plans underway for a new facility for the Solid Waste Authority. An office for
Delaware State Police, and other commercial renovations in progress in that portion of the City. Plans are also
underway as are several new restaurants and other businesses along US 13, and along the Route 8 corridor. New
businesses included C&C Drywall, Independent Metal Strap, Avalon Products, Shore Industries, Hobby Lobby and
others.

Page 29
Health Care, Institutional and Other Sectors Development
Dover’s economy is well balanced across a range of sectors including health care, government and military, education
and industrial categories. Health care saw significant projects underway or completed, including medical offices at
Eden Hill and the Post-Acute Medical Rehabilitation Hospital on McKee Road. In education, Delaware State University
completed their 620-bed dormitory complex, replacing outdated existing facilities, while Wesley College renovated a
central dining lounge. On the government side, three projects were in development: a new office building for the State
Police; planning for a future Family Court facility, and construction of a new U.S. Post Office for Dover.
Infrastructure
During the period of July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, the City has undertaken several large water and sewer projects to
upgrade pump stations, as well as distribution and transmission mains. These projects improved water quality,
increased system efficiency and reduced the inflow/infiltration in our sewer system. The City continues work on
upgrading our Water Treatment Plant to increase production and efficiency. The City has also repaved several streets
and upgraded the associated sidewalks during this period.
Summary
Fiscal Year 2020 saw a continuation of strong growth in the state capital. Dover remains the geographic and economic
center of the County, and is well posed for future growth, development and reinvestment.

BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process is conducted to comply with all charter mandates.
The City Charter mandates the following:
On or before the second Monday of May each year, the City Manager shall prepare and submit to the Council a
budget presenting a financial plan for conducting the affairs of the City for the ensuing fiscal year. The total of
proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of anticipated income.
The budget shall include the following information:
● A detailed statement showing the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the
current year and last preceding fiscal year
● A detailed estimate of the expenses of conducting each department and office of the City for the ensuing
fiscal year with reasons for the increases and decreases recommended
● The value of supplies and materials on hand
● The amount of the debt of the City with a schedule of maturities of bond issues
● A statement showing the amount required for interest on the City debt and for paying off any bonds
maturing during the year and the amount required for the sinking fund
● An itemized statement of all anticipated income of the City with a comparative statement of the amounts
received by the City from each of the same or similar sources for the last preceding and current fiscal
years
● An estimate of the amount of money to be received from taxes
● Other information as the City Manager may think desirable or as may be required by the Council
The Council shall, on or before the second Monday in July in each year, adopt a budget for the succeeding fiscal
year. The Council shall, as far as possible, adhere to the budget so adopted in the making of appropriations.
The preparation of the budget begins with the establishment of goals and parameters through the City Manager's
office. In November, the City Manager’s Office distributes comprehensive budget instructions to department heads.
The City of Dover's method of budgeting has evolved from concepts of many budgeting methods. A line item form of
budget is used to account for expenses and revenues. In recent years, the City has incorporated concepts of
programmatic budgeting which focuses on programs performed. Programs are examined periodically for their
relevance and effectiveness, a concept which comes from zero-based budgeting philosophy.
In March of 2021, budget line items for both the current budget and proposed budget were reviewed with department
heads to determine if service levels were to be maintained, improved, or reduced. New projects for the Capital
Investment Plan were reviewed at this time as well. Revenues were projected as accurately as possible in order to
set priorities for proposed expenditures.
The Council will review the proposed budget in early June. June 14, 2021 has been set for the Electric Fund
Budg et Public Hearing. Public comments on the entire FY22 City Budget were also sought on this date. The budget
is made available on the City of Dover website at https://www.cityofdover.com/public-documents.
According to the ordinance, the proposed budget must go through two readings. After the budget’s adoption,
monthly financial reports are issued to monitor and control the budget during the fiscal year.

AMENDING THE BUDGET
There are two ways of amending any individual budget. Although the budget is presented as a line item budget,
department heads are permitted to change the breakdown within the materials and supplies and administrative
groups of accounts (52000, 53000) if the total budgeted for that department is not exceeded. Department heads are
not authorized to re-appropriate salary (51000) or capital items (54000).
Through budget ordinance, the City Manager has the authority to make interdepartmental transfers of up to five
percent if financial policies are adhered.
Any re-budgeting of available fund balances must have the approval of the City Council.
BUDGET PROCEDURES
Budgets are prepared for the General Fund, Governmental Capital Projects Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund,
Water Capital Projects Fund, Wastewater Capital Projects Fund, Electric Revenue Fund, Electric Capital Projects
Fund, Municipal Street Aid Fund, Housing Grant Funds, Workers Compensation Fund, Community Transportation
Improvement, Delaware Prevention Network (DPN) Grant, and Lodging Tax Fund (new in FY21).
The Governmental Capital Projects Fund is a section of the General Fund. This section is required by our financial
policy. The separate budget for this fund covers the planning and control of only capital items for the General
Fund. The W ater Capital Projects Fund, W astewater Capital Projects Fund, and Electric C apital Projects
Fund are sections of each utility enterprise. These sections are required by bond resolutions. Separate budgets
for these funds cover the planning and control of only capital items of the utilities.
Estimated ending budgetary balances provide the balancing amount for each budget. Acceptable budgetary balance
guidelines were established by Council. The General Fund should maintain a minimum reserve in the budget
balance of at least eight percent and no greater than twelve percent of the current year operating revenues for
the General Fund, excluding the carry forward balance. Water and Wastewater Funds should maintain a minimum
reserve in the budget balance of at least eight percent and no greater than 17 percent of the current year operating
revenues for each of the Water and Wastewater Funds, excluding the carry forward balance. Electric Revenue
Fund should maintain a minimum budget balance of at least twelve percent of the current year operating revenues
for the Electric Revenue Fund, excluding the carry forward balance.
The City follows the practice of encumbrance accounting for the Governmental Fund types. Encumbrances represent
commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. The encumbrances outstanding at year ends
are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. The commitments
will be honored during the subsequent year.
The City Council adopts the budget. The City Council also adopts revisions for major items throughout the year.
The City Charter requires the City to adhere to the budget appropriations as adopted by City Council. Department
managers may not amend the total department budget amounts. Budget ordinances give the City Council the
authority to revise budget appropriations. Budget ordinances give the City Manager the authority to transfer
amounts not exceeding five percent of the total departmental budget within departments and between departments
within funds. This is the legal level of budgetary control. If expenditures exceed appropriations by less than five
percent of the total department budget, no formal Council approval procedure is required by the City budget
ordinance. However, the City Council reviews all departmental budget activity on a regular basis and must approve
all over expenditures of appropriations or transfer of appropriated amounts. All unencumbered appropriations
lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

Page 39
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS PLAN AND BUDGET
The Capital Investments Plan is a five-year plan for the purchase of property, equipment, and public improvements
that are of a permanent nature. The City proposes a five-year Capital Investments Plan annually. The capital
investments budget is a one-year appropriation of expenditures from the Capital Investments Plan and is normally
funded from bond proceeds, grants, and operating funds. Capital expenditures are those which are not a current
expense and have a period of usefulness of at least five years. Such items include projects requiring debt
obligation, acquisitions or lease of land, purchase of major equipment or vehicles, construction of buildings or
facilities, and major improvements.
CRITERIA
Capital outlays are major projects undertaken by the City that generally fit within one or more of the following
categories:
All projects requiring debt obligation or borrowing
Any acquisition or lease of land
Purchase of major equipment and vehicles ordered in excess of $25,000 with a life expectancy of five years or more
Construction of new buildings or facilities including engineering, design, and other pre-construction costs with an
estimated cost in excess of $25,000
Major building improvements that are not routine expenses and that substantially enhance the value of a structure
Major equipment or furnishings required to furnish new buildings or other projects
Major projects that are generally not recurring on a "year in, year out" basis
Projects costing more than $1,000 but less than $25,000 are included with the operating budget (minor capital).
All vehicles requested for replacement were inspected by Fleet Maintenance staff. Each vehicle’s brake system,
fuel system, suspension, steering mechanism, coupling devices, and operating systems were checked for condition
and rated good, fair, or poor. Repair estimates were also included if any of the vehicle systems required maintenance.
Any vehicles with a rating of good or fair were not replaced.

BUDGET POLICY GUIDELINES
The City of Dover follows numerous policy guidelines when preparing the budget. The most significant guidelines
follow:
The budget should be balanced with current revenues being equal to or greater than current
expenditures/expenses. The following approaches are employed to balance the budget in order of priority: improve
productivity, create new service fees, raise existing service fees based on the cost of services, eliminate programs,
increase property taxes, and lastly, reduce or eliminate services.
The tax rate should be competitive with nearby cities and cities of comparable size. The rate should produce
revenue adequate to pay for approved City services. Qualified senior citizens receive a $50,000 exemption from
assessed value.
The General Fund shall realize returns from the Enterprise Funds. The returns should not sacrifice improvements to
the utilities. The budget includes transfers of $10,000,000 from the Electric Fund and $500,000 each from the
Wastewater and Water Funds for a total transfer from the Utility Funds to the General Fund of $11,000,000. This
makes up a combined 23.5% of the General Fund revenues.
Contingency Funds shall be maintained in the General, Wastewater, Water, and Electric Funds. These
contingencies should be adequate to handle unexpected expenditures/expenses. The General, Wastewater,
and Water Funds should maintain an amount equal to at least two percent of the current year operating revenues.
The Electric Revenue Fund should maintain an amount equal to at least one percent of the current year operating
revenues. The City may only use monies in the contingency funds in times of unforeseen emergency expenditures.
Investments made by the City will address safety, liquidity, and yield. Interest earned from investment of available
funds will be distributed to funds according to ownership of the invested funds. The City’s investment policy
authorizes investment of City funds in U.S. Government Securities, fully insured or fully collateralized Certificates of
Deposit with federally insured institutions, the State investment pool, and Repurchase Agreements.
Utility rates are reviewed annually to ensure that they will generate revenues adequate to cover operating expenses,
meet the legal requirements of bond covenants, and allow adequate capital replacement.
EXPLANATION OF FUNDS
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to
governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
● Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized based on funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self- balancing accounts
that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be
spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped into eight generic
fund types and four broad fund categories as follows:
The City reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Electric Revenue Fund: This fund incorporates all transactions related to the generation transmission and distribution
of electricity. The Energy Authority (TEA) is contracted to manage the City’s power procurement, and North
American Energy Services (NAES) is contracted to operate and maintain Dover’s electric generators at the McKee
power plant and the Van Sant unit.

Wastewater Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to wastewater services, including the payment of fees
to Kent County for the treatment of sewage.
Water Fund: This fund accounts for transactions related to water services. The City also holds lease agreements with
cell phone companies for equipment placed on City water towers.
The City reports the following non-major funds:
Internal Service Fund: The City has created one internal service fund to account for the activities related to self-
insured Workers Compensation. Receipts are providing from contributions by the City’s three major funds. Expenses
are related to payment of claims, premiums, and administration costs. Actuarial analyses are completed triennially to
insure enough reserves for claims for the Workers Compensation Fund.
Special Revenue Funds: These funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditure for specified purposes.
Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds consist of trust and agency funds and are used to report assets held by the City in
a trustee or agency capacity for others. These funds are, therefore, not available to support City programs.
The City is the trustee for the City’s two pension plans, the Police Pension Fund and the Employee Pension Fund.
Agency funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for individuals, private organizations, or
other governments. The City has six agency funds: Dover Parking Authority, Library Consortium, Dover Arts
Council, Downtown Dover Development Corporation, Main Street Dover, Inc., Dover Days, and Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
The City allocates the costs of certain governmental services to the costs of business-type activities (indirect
expense allocation). These costs include allocated amounts of City management, centralized budgetary formulation
and oversight, accounting financial reporting, information technology, payroll, procurement, contracting and oversight,
investing and cash management, personnel services, etc. The allocations are charged to the business-type activities
based on the use of these services. As a matter of policy, the costs of certain governmental functions are not allocated
to the business-type activities such as public safety, library, recreation, permitting, inspections, streets, sanitation,
community, and economic development.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless
of the measurement focus applied.
All Governmental Funds, Expendable Trusts, and Agency Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis
of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets.
Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and billable service charges. All other revenues
are accounted for when they are received.
Property taxes are recognized in the fiscal period for which they are levied provided they are “available’ – i.e., they
are collected in the current period or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenues reported in the government funds to be available if the
revenues are collected with 60 days after year-end, except for trash collection, which has a 30-day collection period.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund
liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
recognized when due. Also, claims and judgments and compensated absences are recognized as expenditures to
the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental
funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.

Page 42
The government-wide financial statements as well as all proprietary and fiduciary trust funds are accounted for
using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus. Their revenues are
recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The City prepares the budget for Governmental Fund types in which the expenditures are estimated based on
liabilities for goods and services to be incurred during the fiscal year. Revenues for the General Fund are budgeted
on a cash basis except for property taxes and billable services, which are on a modified accrual basis. Under the
cash basis of budgeting transactions are recognized only when cash is received. Under modified accrual basis
revenues are recorded when they are earned (whether cash is received at the time). The expenditures are accounted
for when the purchase orders are issued. Encumbrances are established when purchase orders are issued and
accounted for as a designation of fund balance at year-end. The budget is amended in the subsequent year for
the outstanding encumbrances of the prior year.
Budgets for the Electric Revenue Fund, Water/Wastewater Fund, and Internal Service Fund are prepared on an
accrual basis. Revenues are recorded when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when goods and
services are received whether cash disbursements are made at the time or not. Budgets are prepared under the
assumption that the principal redemption of long-term debt must be assumed by Enterprise Fund activity in conformity
with the bond ordinance.
The budget is presented in this document in the legal budget format (non-GAAP) adopted by the City. Under this
method: Capital outlays are considered expenditures; grants are considered as revenues and not contributions to
capital; depreciation is not budgeted; debt service proceeds are considered to be revenues, not an increase in
liabilities; debt payments are shown as expenditures rather than reductions of liabilities; proceeds from the sale of
assets are considered revenue, however, the gain or loss is not.

The Vision
The City of Dover is a place where people
want to live! Through the team effort of its
elected officials, employees, and citizens,
Dover is a clean and safe community, with a
future of balanced growth and opportunity
where all citizens are heard, enjoy a high

The Vision
…Dover is a clean and safe community,
…enjoy a high quality of life…
This budget document reflects a spending plan for FY22, that
maintains the increases in staff for critical service levels for
public works, adds five new police from last year and starts a
path towards enhanced maintenance of our infrastructure to
support the City’s taxpayers and citizens beyond FY21.
• This budget maintains staffing added last year for maintenance of
basic public works such as ditch maintenance, streets, stormwater
culverts, catch basins, vegetation/tree maintenance, building
inspections and code enforcement and adds staff for building
maintenance.
• This budget request includes are recommended one additional for
Facilities, Information Technology (half a year), one new FTE and one
decrease in part-time in Library, 5 new police officers (added at the
end of FY21), and restores three linemen positions that had been
eliminated.
• This budget continues with long range plans to address our aging
facilities, park improvements, and to upgrade HVAC systems in City
facilities.
• The budget does not include a self-funding Stormwater Utility. The
City will still have to address stormwater infrastructure maintenance
and operational requirements as required by Federal and State
regulations, but any additional fees will require discussion during FY2
for implementation in late FY2 or in FY2.

Useful Life 3 - 5 Years
Project Name Server Lifecycle Category Information Technology
Priority 3
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $97,300
Description
As with the computer lifecycle, the servers are on a lifecycle and require planned replacements. When a server is up for replacement, it is evaluated
for continued use beyond the lifecycle timeframe. As long as it's viable and service can be extended, its service life will be extended. This plan
includes the replacement of DOVERDC1 and the SQL server in FY9, two HyperV servers in FY20, and the Storage Area Network (SAN) in
FY21. 4/22/2020 - Adjusted amount to include the lease payments for the new iSeries AS400. Added FY22 projected budget. FY22 will need to
replace DOVERDC3 and continue lease payments on the iSeries AS400.
Justification
Due to the City's growing need and dependency on data, servers and storage requirements iincrease. The increased demands on equipment and
storage makes it necessary to replace aging equipment. Obtaining extended warranties may be used when possible, but it can be more cost effective
to replace with newer technology. Servers and associated equipment listed in this plan are to ensure continued 99.999% availability.

Project Name Network Infrastructure Category Information Technology
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $95,700
Description
The City's network infrastructure (switches and routers) were installed as part of the telephone upgrade in 2006. It consists of approximately 18
switches, 6 routers. All of this equipment is at or nearing Cisco's End of Support/End of Life requiring a phased replacement plan. FY21 funding
reduced to absorb lease payments of iSeries AS400; however, funding restored in FY22 for infrastructure expenses.
Justification
Vital network switching and routing equipment allow for communication between servers, computers, printers, telephones, etc.. A loss of any one
piece of equipment will prevent up to 48 devices to stop communicating. With no support for the current equipment, it could be an extended
outage while completing an unplanned purchase. This plan is critical to maintaining the level of communication and support expected by all users.
It calls for a 20% replacement schedule across 5 years until all equipment is replaced and supported.

Project # PD2202
Useful Life 10 years
Project Name Uninterrupted Power Source (UPS) Station Back-Up Category Unassigned
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $22,000
Description
As long as the electricity stays on, a UPS system supplies conditioned utility power to its outlets and keeps its internal battery charged. It also
protects valuable devices and data from power problems, such as power surges and abnormal voltages which otherwise may damage those devices.
If the power goes out, the UPS system provides backup power from its internal battery. This allows equipment to stay on during a power outage,
which is especially useful for devices like computers that can lose data when they turn off unexpectedly.
Currently, the Dover PD has a large capacity UPS supplying power to critical servers, computers and networking equipment. Much of this
equipment is very expensive and serves our PSAP (911 center). All of this equipment serves all PD computer users.
While the Dover PD does have a generator which supplies power to much of the PD during extended power outages, there is a period of time
between when the power is cut and the generator supplies power where there is no power supplied to critical infrastructure at the PD. The PD relies
on various battery backups (UPS’s) to supply power to critical infrastructure during these times of no power availability.
The Dover PD’s main, largest UPS is no longer able to be maintained, serviced or warrantied without spending an unjustifiable amount of money
to “refresh” most of the primary components of the UPS. Even upon completion of this, the UPS will still have much of its parts remain in their 10-
year-old-state and will only extend its ability to be maintained, serviced or warrantied by 4 years. While this “refreshment” is less costly in the
short term, it will be much costlier in the long term.
Justification
1. The UPS system provides power to all critical police station computer systems during the approximate 10 second transition to generator power
when a power outage occurs. Without the backup during this short period, power would be interrupted and all the systems would go down. Some
of the systems would have to be brought back up again manually and a lot of critical data could be lost.

Project # ST2201
Useful Life 20-25 years
Project Name Street, Concrete, and Alley Program Category General
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $6,231,000
Description
This project will rehabilitate approximately one to three percent (1-3%) of the street and alley network each year. The estimated capital mantenance
cost are $51 million over a 20 year planning horizon in FY17 dollars. The estimate is based on the needs survey conducted by Public Works in
FY17. Continuous maintenance on these assests will prevent costlier reconstruction in the future. This project combines the former Street
Resurfacing Program, the Alley Program and the Barrier Free Access Ramp Program. FY22 anticipated projects are as follows:
Columbia Ave (N. State St to Pear St)
River Rd (Martin Luther King Jr Blvd to S. Dupont Hwy)
Townsend Blvd ( N. Dupont Hwy to End)
Justification
Replacement of deteriorated curbs, gutters, and sidewalks provides improved use, drainage, and appearance of the pavement section. The Street,
Concrete, and Alley Program schedule is driven by funding and road ratings. Total street milage is growing as more roads and alleys are dedicated
for public maintenance due to growth. Additionally, this program promotes the interconnection of the sidewalk network to conform to ISTEA
(Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) and rehabilitates sidewalks that have root damage from city trees. This program also facilitates
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as it relates to the pedestrian network as well as improving localized drainage issues.

complete repair of well #14. FY2015 inspected: 2, 3, 11, 13R, 15, PW2. FY 2016 inspected: 4, 6, 8R, 9 & PW8A. FY 2017 inspected: 1, 10, 4,
PW6A & 4B. FY 2018 inspected: 3. FY 2019 inspected: 12R, PW1A, 2, 11, 13R, 15. FY 2020: 2, 5 & 6. FY 2021: Well 8R, Well 9, Well 10
and PW6A. FY 2022 tentatively scheduled: 1A, 6, 2A, 4B, 3. Inspections include 3, 13R, 15, 11, PW4B and 12R.
Justification
The well screening and gravel pack requires cleaning over time due to a buildup of mineral deposits and foreign materials such as clay and silt.
This maintenance effort is critical to ensure that production can continue to meet demand. It is also necessary to maintain the operational aspects of
each well and provide repairs as needed to minimize downtime to maintain system capacity. Delaying or eliminating this project would result in
the continued deterioration of the well screen, gravel pack, and well yield over time. It would also result in increased well downtime, emergency
repairs, and decreased capacity. These issues can lead to increased flow pattern changes and water quality concerns.

Useful Life 20 years
Project Name Meter Replacement Project Category Water/Wastewater
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $1,256,100
Description
This project will be an ongoing project to replace our aged water meters in the system. A majority of the water meters have exceeded their life
expectancy of 15-20 years. The City will benefit from this project by having a more efficient system which will recover maximum revenue to the
water utility. Additionally, expenses of maintaining, stocking and operating the out dated meters are greatly reduced. This project is proposed to
be lined up with the future AMI project.
Justification
This project will provide the City of Dover with accurate readings of our water users, thus creating accurate revenue from the customers. Delaying
or eliminating this project would result in the age of the water meters increasing, and consequently the meters will not read the correct volume of
water being consumed. Additionally, older water meters typically require more maintenance.

Project Name Water Quality Improvements Category Water/Wastewater
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $5,465,600
Description
This project was first identified by staff and the 2006 Water Master Plan Update, and has since become further refined with the FY 2006 Water
Quality Evaluation. Projects to be included under this category primarily consist of replacement or relining of old unlined cast iron water main
within the City’s water distribution system; system upgrades to improve system control; and utilization of a consultant to provide additional design
and evaluation services, as needed. Recent research and data collection has produced a Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, based on several
criteria to identify water mains that are in need of replacement or relining. Pipes will be upgraded according to the severity of the pipe condition,
as well as coordination with the City of Dover’s Public Services Street Rehabilitation Program. Between FY 2008 and FY 2010, the deep well
contact chambers were designed and installed. Between FY 2008 and FY 2011 the water mains that were replaced include, Washington Street,
Pennsylvania Avenue, South Street, Pear Street, West Street, Hazel Road, Maryland Avenue, American Avenue, Bayard Avenue, Greenhill
Avenue, Bayard Avenue Alley and Loockerman Street. Operational efforts, such as flushing, will continue to occur on a routine basis. FY 2012
improvements include, N. Pennsylvania Ave., American Ave. Ext., Madison St., Rodney Rd., New Street, Ross Street and Bradford Street (near
Wesley College). FY 2013 improvements included North Street. As part of the Water Main Rehabilitation Priority List, water lines were
identified throughout the City that requires replacement/relining. FY 2017 improvement include: New Street (Water St. to Loockerman). FY
2018 improvements included: Bradford Street (Loockerman St. to Division St.) and William Street (Pear St. to State St.). FY 2019 improvements
included: Lakewood Place. FY 2020 improvements included: Columbia Avenue. FY 2021 improvements included: N. West St. West Alley and
Ross Street.
•N. State Street (Division Street to Columbia Street) - $965,300 (Remainder of Project budgeted in FY23
Justification
Water quality complaints have eroded consumer confidence in the City’s water supply as the water is perceived to be aesthetically unpleasant. In
order to reduce complaints and potentially alleviate this problem, it is necessary to implement the improvements identified by staff, the 2006 Water
Master Plan Update, and the FY 2006 Water Quality Evaluation. Delaying or eliminating this project will prolong customer dissatisfaction and
further erode confidence in the City’s water supply. In addition, main rehabilitation and replacement, ensuring pipes do not significantly exceed
the expected life cycle, is critical to provide a reliable supply of water for our customers and for fire suppression. Water leaks and breaks on older
lines can have a significant impact on our ability to serve over time. Addressing the brown water and associated water quality concerns of the
City’s water system will not only require capital improvements to the system but also operational changes. Some operation changes will result in
no net effect on the operating budget, while others will need to be addressed in the development of future operating budgets. Such items include
tools and supplies necessary to improve system sampling and monitoring as well as tools and supplies necessary to improve system-wide flushing
operations.

Project # WW2201
Useful Life 50-80
Project Name Inflow/Infiltration Removal Category Water/Wastewater
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $8,959,000
Description
This project identifies and corrects areas in the sanitary sewer collection system that are deteriorating and allowing groundwater to enter the
sanitary sewer system through cracked pipes and/or joints. Video investigations of the lines are performed by in-house crews to determine the
condition of subject pipes which may also help with the identification of sump pumps and other illicit connections to the system which will have to
be removed by individual property owners. Investigations are occurring systematically through the sewer basins to establish projects for the
following year. Sanitary sewer lines are also being inspected in conjunction with water quality improvement project areas to determine main
condition. The wet weather which was experienced in both 2003 and 2009/2010/2011, exemplified the fact that the aging and deteriorating
sanitary sewer system allows groundwater and rain water to enter the system. This in turn results in higher treatment charges from Kent County.
In FY 2011 a new groundwater inflow adjustment charge was established as a result. It is critical to continue making improvements on a regular
and planned basis to improve the integrity of the wastewater system. Weather occurs in a cyclical fashion and discrepancies between fees collected
and charges received will likely happen again when groundwater and precipitation levels rise. This project would start with an inventory and rating
and smoke testing of the approximately 71 miles of sanitary sewer main in FY 2021 and FY 2022. Rehabilitation will occur beginning in FY
2023. The intent of this project is to rehabilitate the infrastructure with the worst ratings.
Justification
The wet weather experienced in both 2003 and 2009/2010/2011, highlighted the fact that we have an aging wastewater system that requires more
attention to the condition of the old pipe network and more monitoring of illicit connections to the system. Inflow and infiltration are problems that
all customers pay for since they are costs that are not assigned to an individual customer. Therefore, all customers are affected by expenses related
to inflow and infiltration. Delaying or eliminating this project will result in continued higher treatment charges for wastewater flow to Kent County
than is necessary. In addition, the reduction in available capacity in the City and County systems due to inflow and infiltration will reduce the
capacity available for future growth.

Useful Life 20 years
Project Name Meter Replacement Project Category Water/Wastewater
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $1,256,100
Description
This project will be an ongoing project to replace our aged water meters in the system. A majority of the water meters have exceeded their life
expectancy of 15-20 years. The City will benefit from this project by having a more efficient system which will recover maximum revenue to the
water utility. Additionally, expenses of maintaining, stocking and operating the out dated meters are greatly reduced.
Justification
This project will provide the City of Dover with accurate readings of our water users, thus creating accurate revenue from the customers. Delaying
or eliminating this project would result in the age of the water meters increasing, and consequently the meters will not read the correct volume of
water being consumed. Additionally, older water meters typically require more maintenance.

This project calls for replacement of the Smith & Loveless package pumping station, installed in 1987, in order to handle development in the area,
as well as completely rehabilitate the wet well side of the pump station using a poly-triplex system liner. The station has exceeded its life
expectancy of 20-25 years.
Justification
Replace the aged station with a completely new station to prevent the need for costly unbudgeted repairs to maintain operation, thus reducing pump
failure resulting in a sewage spill into waterway or backup in a residence. Due to the age of the station, certain parts are no longer obtainable, and
replacement of equipment is costly. Feasibility study in FY 2026.

Project Name SCADA Master Hardware Replacement Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $550,000
Description
This project will replace the Master Station hardware and software. The Master Station receives all the analog data, door alarms, and control for all
electrical substations and wastewater lift stations. The Master Station is comprised of dual host servers, dual operator consoles, paging systems,
web server, two firewalls for DMZ and one remote access/support firewall. The Master Station also allows the operators to modify and control the
city’s electrical grid remotely reducing the amount of time outages affect the residents and reduce harm to the city’s populace. It was discovered
that the current software we utilize will not be fully supported by the manufacturer due to the age of the software package. This requires the
department to examine other options from different manufacturers and is the reason for the increase in price from previous budget years.
Justification
The equipment will reach the end of its life expectancy in 2022. It should be noted that the systems run continuously 24 hours a day seven days a
week to monitor and track anomalies in the electrical and wastewater systems. It is also utilized by the Electric Department to open and close
circuit breakers and perform switching schedules. Estimate of $550,000 is based on a budgetary quote from our current SCADA provider. Once an
RFP is released and evaluated the total price may decrease.

Priority 6 --
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $160,000
Description
This is to continue with the conversion from overhead to underground in the Towne Point subdivision. This will take the current overhead
backyard construction and move it underground in front of the residences. This will allow quicker access to the equipment during outages. There
are numerous addresses that are inaccessible to line trucks due to private fencing.
Justification
The current infrastructure was installed in the late 1960s and 1970s and there are numerous areas of pole lines being inaccessible to our bucket
trucks due to the private fencing installed. The estimated prices are for boring work being performed by outside contractor but most of the boring
could be replaced with trenching which would minimize the possibility of striking non locatable infrastructure.

This project will place the existing overhead primary on Bay Road between Century Engineering and Transportation Circle underground and
replace it with newer conductor and equipment.
Justification
This work eliminates the old pole line currently in place in front of the new Century Engineering Building south to Transportation Circle. By
placing the service lines underground it will be more reliable and allow for easier expansion in the area than replacing the old overhead wire,
crossarms and insulators along this route.

Total Project Cost: $21,000
Description
This project will convert the overhead line on Poplar Lane to an underground construction.
Justification
This area was badly damaged during TS Isaias and the tornado. Many residents on Poplar Lane have requested to have their house services placed
underground already. The existing overhead line was installed approximately 25 years ago, and this conversion will place all the electric
equipment underground in the front of the houses. This area is very wooded and the work will give the residents better resiliency should another
event of this magnitude occur again.

Total Project Cost: $6,800
Description
These batteries are used in the UPS back up that is used to supply power to the Electric Department’s System Operations center. If an outage
affects the administration building, this UPS allows uninterrupted power until the generator comes on line.
Justification
Manufacturer recommendation for battery replacement is 4 years and the UPS installed is reaching that age. During the last scheduled maintenance
on the UPS in December 2020, it was recommended the batteries be replaced. If the UPS fails, the switch over to generator power from system
power will result in the shut down of the System Operations computers and loss of control/monitoring of the City’s Electric system.

Total Project Cost: $15,000
Description
The Electric Department uses Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Cameras to identify hot spots on connections across the City’s distribution and
transmission systems as well as in the substations. This project will replace the FLIR camera currently used due to aged technology and
breakdowns of the camera. The camera is currently in maintenance and may be deemed not cost effective to repair.
Justification
The use of FLIR cameras in a regular maintenance and inspection program can identify hot spots in the electric system. These spots are more
prone to failure due to the stress heat puts on them during constant operation. The Electric Department performs yearly checks of the system to
locate and repair these hot spots. This results in cost savings by allowing repairs to be made at a lower cost than replacing a high dollar piece of
equipment and it reduces outage times to the customer by allowing the repairs to be scheduled.

Project Name LED Lighting Conversion Category Electric
Priority 10 --
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $2,575,000
Description
Conversion of existing non-LED City lighting to LED in order to increase life expectancy and decrease overall lighting expenditures to the City.
The city-wide project will be accomplished in three phases starting with Roadway lights, Decorative lights and Security lights. Work for FY21
consisted of replacement of 620 lights in the designated downtown high priority area from conventional to LED lights. FY 22 work will consist of
converting other parts of the City to LED lights.
Justification
The Electric Department receives numerous requests for lighting maintenance & improvements. These requests are due to the current lights aging
and emitting less light. LED lights also provide a brighter light utilizing less wattage and have longer warranties than the high-pressure sodium,
mercury vapor and metal halide lights. These factors will reduce the total cost to operate and maintain the approximately 9,000 lights currently
installed.

Total Project Cost: $250,000
Description
This project will be utilized to perform preventative maintenance on the 69 kV lines that provide voltage to the distribution substations across the
city. In the past this money has been spent on replacement of the porcelain insulators to install safer polymer insulators. This could also be used to
replace stand offs, poles, switches and other equipment related to the transmission system.
Justification
Insulators have a defined equipment life due to sun and weather conditions breaking down the porcelain and base bonding cement. Insulators
installed in 1960's and 1970's are due for replacement because of this deterioration. We have experienced several transmission outages due to
insulator failure. Replacing the insulators should extend the life an additional 30 years.

Description
This is to continue with the conversion from overhead to underground in the Towne Point subdivision. This will take the current overhead
backyard construction and move it underground in front of the residences. This will allow quicker access to the equipment during outages. There
are numerous addresses that are inaccessible to line trucks due to private fencing. Originally this project was scheduled to be completed in FY21
but with COVID related delays and contractor availability it wasn’t started until mid-Jan.
Justification
The current infrastructure was installed in the late 1960s and 1970s and there are numerous areas of pole lines being inaccessible to our bucket
trucks due to the private fencing installed. The estimated prices are for boring work being performed by an outside contractor but most of the
boring could be replaced with trenching which would minimize the possibility of striking non locatable infrastructure.

Project Name Garrison Oak / Sun Park Substation Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $7,000,000
Description
A two part project that started with the engineering portion completed in FY21, this funding will order, construct and commission a new substation
at the Garrison Oak Business & Technology Park. The substation will be capable of powering the entire park and be of a ring bus design that will
allow for redundancy in the event of a breaker failure. Additionally, the substation could be used to provide power to any new developments in the
area and give the City more flexibility to perform system switching by increasing the tie points available. There will also be provisions in the
station footprint to allow for the installation of an additional transformer should the energy demand of the park grow in the future.
Justification
As occupancy of Garrison Oak Technology Park increases, the amount of power drawn will exceed the capabilities of the current City of Dover
Transmission and Distribution system. We currently have less than 2 megawatts of reserve power for contingency situations for Calpine and we
estimate approximately 500 to 2000 kilowatts of demand per lot. This additional load will not be attainable without a new substation to dedicate to
the park and allow distribution to a limited number of customers outside the park in residential areas.

Project Name Substation Transformer Oxidation Inhibitor Category Electric
Priority 2
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $100,000
Description
In order to maximize the service life, the substation transformers providing distribution voltage to the customers, oil testing is accomplished
yearly. These tests can identify potential problems with the transformers based on the results, such as oxidation, PCB levels, metal in oil, etc.
During the 2020 inspections it was recommended by the testing company that an oxidation inhibitor be added to the oil to protect the oil quality.
The project cost will add the inhibitor to 14 transformers and includes required labor.
Justification
The oil in a transformer is can be an indicator of the health of the equipment. Oil testing is completed annually, and this last year’s testing resulted
in the recommendation of the addition of an oxygen inhibitor. This inhibitor will reduce the level of oxygen in the oil and help prevent any loss of
efficiency and serviceability of the transformers. The presence of high levels of oxidation can shorten the life span of the equipment and possible
lead to catastrophic failures. The City currently has transformers as old as 40 years old and maximizing the life of the equipment is very important.

Total Project Cost: $240,000
Description
With the retirement of the Unit #3 in the McKee Generation Station, the switchyard will need to be modified. Currently, there are six protection
relays located inside the McKee building that will need to be relocated to a new building in front of the bus work tying Unit #3 to the transmission
lines. During the relocation, they will also be replaced to digital relays that offer quicker response time to faults and communications to the System
Operations Center. In addition to the relay relocation, the battery bank in a cinder block building will need to be relocated to the new building.
Justification
To be able to continue to provide fault protection on the ring bus outside McKee, the relays will be moved from inside the building and into a new
building to be constructed under this project. The battery bank will also be moved to the new building and eliminate the need for the building it is
currently housed in. The Department explored the option of eliminating the bus work and installing a 3-way switch but it proved to be more costly
than this course of action.

Project Name Substation Battery Replacement Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $31,000
Description
Each substation contains a bank of up to 60 batteries used to supply DC voltage for the control of relays and other equipment in the substations
during loss of power conditions. The amount of batteries at each substation is dependent on the manufacturer and size of the individual cells. This
project will provide the required funds to replace not only the batteries but also the racks and chargers as needed. This replacement program is part
of the larger Substation Assessment program that will identify and correct broken and aged substation equipment. The cost projections listed
below reflect a replacement of the batteries, stand and charger.
Justification
Substation batteries are crucial in the restoration effort as they allow for the operation of protection relays in power off conditions. Life expectancy
of the batteries varies by manufacturer, but the service life should be 18-20 years depending on usage and the area the batteries are stored in is fully
climate controlled. If the area is not climate controlled, then the life expectancy is estimated to be 8-10 years. To replace the batteries with current
designs there may be a need to purchase new associated equipment such as racks to hold the new batteries. Most of our substations could be
considered partially climate controlled so we would follow a 15-year replacement schedule except for Mid-City which will be 10 years due to the
poor construction of the building. Additionally, the inspection and serviceability of the batteries is governed by NERC and could possibly result in
fines should the maintenance program be deemed insufficient.

Project Name Emergency Component Replacement (T&D) Category Electric
Priority 4
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $300,000
Description
This project will be utilized solely to provide funding for the replacement of electric equipment that is damaged in accidents or fails unexpectedly.
If over the course of the year there are no failures, the funds will not be utilized.
Justification
Currently, when a component is replaced, the funding comes from the O & M budget of T & D. Once the work is performed coordination with
Finance occurs to move funds in Munis from the O & M side to the Capital side to capitalize the equipment. This project will eliminate that and
allow the capitalization of the equipment directly from this account.

Project Name New Developments Category Electric
Priority n/a
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $5,500,000
Description
This project purchases material and equipment that are used to provide electric service to new housing developments, businesses and industrial
developments across the service area. Additionally, a portion of this expense is offset by extension fees whereby developers pay a $1,850 per
residential lot connection fee inside City limits and a per lot fee of $1,600 per lot outside City limits but in the service area. For business and
industrial developers, a fee is charged based on total material expense for the extension.
This is an ongoing project and affects three separate accounts:
411-42-82-99-000-56031
411-42-82-99-000-56034
411-42-82-99-000-56046
Not all new developments projects supported by this fund are known during budget preparation and will arise during the year.
Justification
During each budget year, new developers request line extensions for new electric projects. Some are new projects while others may have received
plan approval previously but were not completed for any number of reasons.

Project Name Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solution Category Information Technology
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $3,636,000
Description
This project involves consulting services and purchase of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solution to support the business processes of the
City of Dover.
Justification
The City's current ERP software is Sungard Public Sector's Select/Naviline version 8.0.2.0. It is an IBM System powered environment (iSeries).
This system is a legacy system that came out of the Y2K era, when previous systems were not programmed for the year 2000. The Sungard Public
Sector system was purchased in April 1997.
The technology for ERP systems have evolved from mainframe based systems (AS400) to Personal Computer (PC) based systems either hosted by
the software provider through the internet or hosted by the customer on file servers. The industry trend is to drive access to customers with web
and app based delivery models.
Project Strategy & Objectives:
- The City requires an integrated environment where any user can access the data they need.
- The City will emphasize a self-service environment with technology enabling and not hindering the users to easily access data with the proper
controls at the point of data entry.
- The City desires to utilize rational data base technology plus easy report and query writing tools to accomplish this.
- The City realizes that this goal will not be accomplished through new technology alone but also requires extensive process changes and
organizational support.
- Management requires better access to data, information and reporting that is currently unavailable or significantly restricted.
- As a result of current limitations to functionallity and access to data, City personnel have developed work-around processes that are impacting
City business.
- Third-party software integrations with the current system are extremely difficult, limited or unvailable.

Annual Operating impact is being evaluated to determine the net difference with the current ERP/ancillary systems and support versus the
recommended solution. The current estimate for the new fully integrated ERP solution is approximately $300,000 annuallly. Current cost is being
evaluated as above.

Project Name Plant Decommissioning Category Electric
Priority 1
Status Active
Total Project Cost: $14,000,000
Description
The City will decommision and dismantle the McKee Run Power Plant. The plant will be taken out of the PJM system on May 31, 2021 and the
decommissioning will begin shortly after.
FY2020-21 Using the playbook devloped by NAES, the City will issue an RFP, chose a firm, and develop engineering and demolition plans. Early
phases of the demo work might begin in June of 2021.
FY2021-22 The majority of the demolition will take place this year.
FY2022-23 Demolition will be completed and some site remediation will be done.
Justification
The age, condition and level of efficeincy of the McKee Power Plant make it no longer competetive in the PJM market. With new PJM rules, the
rare, but possible intersection of a call to generate for the PJM market and a failure to perform could lead to a penaly being assessed to the City in
the millions of dollars, and the lack of consistent use makes the plant no longer viable. The City's Integratated Resource Plan calls for a shift to
other resources.

Electric Fund Budget
• Revenue decreased v. FY20 Original
Budget-to-Budget (BTB) - $2.4 Million (-
2.8%) before Rate Stabilization transfer in
of $2.5 Million
• Exclusive of revenue reduction for PPA credit
($5.2 million) or -6.2%
• No planned rate changes, PCA Credit
remains $.0070/kwh
• Implementing the cost of service model in
FY21 reduced most business and
commercial bills
• Overall the utility is in excellent financial
condition with adequate reserves
• Decrease in Power Supply and Plant
Operations costs offset by decrease in
capacity credits budget to budget.
• Major capital expenditures to be financed
or paid from targeted reserves.

Page 373
Electric Fund Budget
• Major increases/(decreases) affecting revenues
• Customer sales decrease $2,269,000 (-2.7%) due to rate
reductions
• Major increases/(decreases) affecting expenses
• Power Supply cost decrease of $5.4 M budegte to budget
(56%)
• Estimated FY21 v Budget FY22 shows decrease of $3.0M
• Actual capacity credits offset by reduced operation costs;
net result, loss of McKee will not impact power supply
costs
• Operation costs decreased with closing of McKee
($2.5M)
• Would be even lower except costs to run Van Sant are not
known yet – RFP pending
• Capital expenditures increased from $6.2M to $21.7
• $7M will be financed for the Garrison Oak Substation
• $9M from Depreciation Reserve for decommissioning of the
McKee Power Plant – set aside from utility fees for this exact
purpose
• Transfers to other accounts as follows
• Transfer to Rate Stabilization Reserve $2.0 million
• Transfer to Improvement & Extension Reserve of $3.7
million
• Transfer to General Fund of $11 million (approximately
the same % of total revenue as FY15 first year of $10M
transfer
