Minutes

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on June 10, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare (arrived at 6:11 p.m.), Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Slavin was absent. Members of Council present were Council President Bonar (arrived at 6:26 p.m.), Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza (arrived at 6:11 p.m.), 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. Proposed Bond Resolutions Mr. Lynn noted that he had received a request from staff to reverse the order of consideration for Items #1A and #1B. A Resolution Amending and Restating Water and Sewer Bond Resolution Providing for the Issuance by the City of Dover of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds and Related Matters Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, informed members that the proposed Resolution would amend the City’s Water/Wastewater Bond Resolution of 1984. She explained that Bond Counsel had revised the Resolution to make it more current and Mrs. Mitchell reviewed the significant changes from the current Resolution. She noted that additional language relating to the Trustee had been included and the maximum amount that must be set aside for debt service each year was defined. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that a provision was added to allow utilizing the services of the City Engineer when bond issues are brought forward rather than having to hire an outside consultant and that this would result in financial savings. She stated that the Trustee would be changed from U.S. Bank to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, which manages the City’s electric bonds and charges lower fees. She advised members that the amount of monies that would be needed for the State revolving fund loans would be excluded from the maximum debt service. Mrs. Mitchell reminded members that over the last three (3) years, the City had engaged in three (3) State revolving fund loans and, as a result, the maximum amount of debt service that must be paid in any one (1) year had to be set aside. She indicated that the State had agreed to allow the City to exclude these loan amounts from the maximum debt service; therefore, only the amount of the reserve (the amount of the bonds) must be put in, which would free up money for the City. Referring to Section 17 of the Resolution, Mr. Lynn questioned the amount of the “reasonable” fees referenced. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the City was currently paying the Bank of New York $500 per year for electric bonds. In response to Mr. Lynn regarding the selection of the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company as Trustee, Mrs. Mitchell stated that this institution was selected because it manages the City’s electric bonds and was agreeable to having the water and sewer bonds transferred to them. She explained that the City could not get U.S. Bank to make the change; however, refinancing the bonds gave the City the ability to make the transfer to the Bank of New York. Mr. Lynn inquired if there were any local banks that would able to provide this service, and Mrs. Mitchell stated this could be researched before the matter was finalized.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2013 PAGE 2 Staff recommended adoption of the Amended and Restated Water and Sewer Bond Resolution. Mr. Rushe moved to approve staff’s recommendation for adoption of the Amended and Restated Water and Sewer Bond Resolution Providing for the Issuance by the City of Dover of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds and Related Matters (Attachment #1), seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. A Resolution Authorizing the Sale of Up to $6,500,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds of the City of Dover Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that this Resolution would authorize the sale of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds and explained that $4M of the funds would be used for the Calpine Energy Center and approximately $2M would be used to refinance the bonds currently outstanding on the 2003 issue. She noted that the difference of $500,000 would be used to pay issuance costs and to bring the reserve to the level needed and would come from the bond proceeds rather than being taken from City funds. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Mitchell stated that there were not many bonds outstanding from the 2003 issue and estimated the savings on interest would be approximately $60,000. She was unsure of the exact interest rate of the previous issue but noted that the difference in interest rates must be greater than 3% or the City would not proceed. Staff recommended adoption of the Resolution authorizing the sale of up to $6,500,000 water and sewer revenue bonds of the City of Dover. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend the adoption of the Resolution Authorizing the Sale of Up to $6,500,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds of the City of Dover (Attachment #2), seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2013-08 Amending Chapter 70 - Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 70-7 - Registered Sexual Offenders, Subsection (b) - Prohibition on Residency and Employments During the Special Council Meeting of May 28, 2013, Council directed staff to prepare a Code amendment that would remove the requirement for offenders residing or employed within 500 feet of a day care center at the time of adoption of Ordinance #2012-08 (April 9, 2012) to move or resign their employment. Police Chief James Hosfelt stated that the proposed amendment would allow two (2) individuals who currently reside within 500 feet of a daycare center to remain in their residences, noting that if they moved in the future, they would have to be in compliance with the ordinance. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2013-08 (Attachment #3), seconded by Mr. Rushe and carried with two (2) yes (Rushe and Shevock) and one (1) no (Lynn).

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2013 PAGE 3 Proposed Pricing for Sale of Garrison Oak Technology Park Lots Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that in recent months there had been two (2) requests for pricing on parcels in the Garrison Oak Technical Park. Based on these inquiries, the Economic Development Office requested comparable pricing information from R&R Commercial Realty and McGinnis Commercial Realty. Referring to correspondence from Mr. Charles Rodriguez from R&R Commercial Realty, Mr. Koenig quoted a sales price for similar projects ranging between $22,983 and $40,000 per acre, with an average of approximately $31,182 per acre. He stated that Mr. Philip McGinnis of McGinnis Commercial Real Estate Company recommended a price of at least $30,000 per acre with conditions on the pricing. Based on this input, the Economic Development Office proposed a price of $35,000 per acre and recommended that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate a price decrease of up to $5,000 per acre when appropriate. Mr. Koenig stated that any sale of land would come before Council for affirmation of sale prior to execution. Mr. Rushe moved to recommend approval of land pricing at Garrison Oak Technical Park at a price of $35,000 per acre and that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate a price decrease of up to $5,000 when appropriate. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Review of Ordinance Sponsorship At the request of Councilman Lynn, a history of the requirement for three (3) sponsors to propose amendments to the Dover Code was compiled. Members were advised that currently all ordinances or proposed Charter changes must have three (3) sponsors (three (3) members of Council) before they are presented to the appropriate committee for consideration and subsequent recommendation to the Council. The only exceptions are emergency ordinances, zoning ordinances or map amendments, ordinance amendments submitted by Council-appointed staff or a committee, and ordinances passed in consideration of a comprehensive review of the Code. Councilman Lynn expressed his desire to either remove the sponsorship requirement for Council members or impose the same requirements for Council-appointed staff. He advised members that executive City staff can propose changes with only one (1) sponsor. He stated the purpose of the ordinance was to “equalize the playing field” and allow ordinances to be sponsored by only one (1) Council person. Mr. Hare stated that some support from Council should be required for staff to present Code amendments. He felt that if the support of three (3) Council members could not be obtained, then there was not enough support to merit consideration. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Lynn stated that consideration of how this matter should be addressed was open for discussion. He indicated his wish to eliminate the requirement that Council members must obtain three (3) sponsors; however, stated that another possibility would be to require that staff obtain multiple sponsors, as Council must.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2013 PAGE 4 Mr. Hare felt that if a Council member could not get two (2) additional members to support an amendment, there was no need to bring it up, as this would waste time. He felt that this should apply to staff as well and that they should attempt to obtain the support of three (3) Council members; one (1) staff member and two (2) Council members; or the City Manager and two (2) Council members. Mr. Shevock stated he was more inclined to require the support of two (2) people before bringing an item to a committee for discussion. His concern was that there may be objections that a matter was discussed prior to the meeting and that an item was being “ramrodded through.” Mr. Shevock questioned if there were requirements in the Code or Charter that would prohibit these changes. Mr. Lynn stated his concern was the “chilling effect” that a mandate for multiple sponsors could have on amendments, noting that debate may be needed before a decision can be made as to whether a member chooses to sponsor an amendment. He felt that open, frank discussion was needed on every item and that eliminating the need for sponsors across the board might accomplish this. Mr. Lynn indicated that debating an issue on the floor brings about brainstorming that can turn a mediocre idea into a great idea when presented to full Council and that the current policy should be changed to one (1) sponsor across the board. Mr. Hare expressed his belief that at least two (2) sponsors should be required to support a proposed amendment. Mr. Perza stated that the current policy was inconsistent in that there were two (2) ways to have an item placed on the agenda and he felt that either way was subject to manipulation. He felt that if a Council member were able to get support from one (1) other person to agree to discuss the amendment, this should be enough to place the item on the committee agenda and that obtaining this support would not be difficult. He suggested information be sent to the attention of the Council President who could communicate that the item had been proposed and determine if members would like to at least discuss the matter before placing it on the agenda. This would also prevent the City from working on a matter if there was no will from the elected representatives to go forward and would also prevent one (1) person from unilaterally putting items on an agenda. Mr. Lynn noting that, historically, committee chairs had unilaterally refused to put items on agendas, and he wished to eliminate any possibility of a “chilling” effect or manipulation. He felt that only one (1) sponsor should be required. Mr. Perza noted that it could become apparent very quickly if this were not a good idea if agendas became overloaded. He was unsure if there was a problem with items not being placed on agendas and stated that during his past year of service, he had not had a problem placing items on the agenda. Mr. Hutchison felt that at least two (2) or three (3) people should sign on to proposed amendments and noted that he would lean toward two (2) in view of Mr. Anderson’s current absence due to deployment.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2013 PAGE 5 Mr. Shevock inquired if there had been a problem and suggested “if it’s not broken, why try to fix it.” He concurred with Mr. Hutchison that perhaps two (2) sponsors would be adequate due to Mr. Anderson’s absence. Mr. Lynn felt that it was an irritant that he would be required to find two (2) additional people to get on board with an idea when those who work for Council are not required to do so and questioned why City staff would be imbued with more power than the officials that they serve. Mr. Shevock concurred that requirements should be the same for administration as they are for Council. Responding to Mr. Hare’s suggestion that the City Manager and the director who proposes an ordinance determine if the item is brought forward, Mr. Lynn stated that this could be a problem if the City Manager and director were “at loggerheads.” Mr. Hare suggested that a Council-appointed department head be required to seek one (1) additional sponsor and a City Manager-appointed director obtain the approval of the City Manager. Mr. Lynn suggested that the requirement for three (3) sponsors lends itself to violations of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). He felt that calling nine (9) members to try to get someone “on board” could be interpreted as a serial meeting and that requiring one (1) sponsor would avoid these problems. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development clarified that placing an item on an agenda was the prerogative of the Council President for the Council agenda and the Committee chair for committee agendas. In regard to development of ordinances, she stated that she currently has only to develop an ordinance and if the Council President or Committee Chair approves this item for the agenda, it goes on the agenda. She stated that it would not cause problems for staff to be required to obtain two (2) sponsors or for staff to be placed on the same footing as Council members in regard to ordinance sponsorship. Mrs. Townshend advised members that a great deal of time would be wasted if she spent months preparing an ordinance without the support of at least two (2) sponsors. Mrs. McDowell, City Clerk, stated that differentiating between the ordinances brought forth by City Manager-appointed or Council-appointed staff would complicate the process and possibly create problems and suggested a requirement for sponsorship by two (2) Council members for any ordinance. She felt that if staff reporting to the City Manager had ordinances to bring forth, this would be the responsibility of the City Manager. She requested clarification as to whether emergency ordinances, zoning ordinances or map amendments, and ordinances passed in consideration of a comprehensive review of the Code would be excluded from this requirement if a change were made from the current procedure, which does not require staff to obtain sponsorship. Mrs. McDowell noted that these types of ordinances are fairly standard and must come forward.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2013 PAGE 6 Mrs. Townshend concurred that these types of ordinances, including Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings, should be excluded from sponsorship requirements and advised members that if a rezoning ordinance were not brought forward, the City would be denying the applicant due process; however, she felt that zoning text amendments should be subject to sponsorship requirements. She was comfortable that staff could work with any recommendation made by the Committee. Mr. Shevock stated that the current system whereby the staff member requests placing an ordinance on the agenda from a committee chair would provide the necessary two (2) sponsors. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that she felt that Mrs. McDowell’s suggestion for two (2) Council sponsors would be a “cleaner” approach since these members are elected and staff works for them. Mr. Dixon concurred with Mr. Perza’s earlier comment that “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it,” and Mr. Shevock agreed. Mr. Hare moved to recommend that the sponsorship of two (2) Council members be required for any proposed ordinance, excluding emergency ordinances, zoning ordinances, map amendments, ordinances passed in consideration of a comprehensive review of the Code, and Comprehensive Plan amendments, seconded by Mr. Rushe. The motion failed by a vote of two (2) yes (Hare and Rushe) and two (2) no (Lynn and Shevock). Mr. Hare moved to leave the requirements as they were currently set forth, seconded by Mr. Shevock. The motion failed by a vote of two (2) yes (Hare and Shevock) and two no (Lynn and Rushe). As a point of order, Mr. Bonar stated that no motion was needed to leave the procedure as it was currently being followed. Mr. Lynn moved to reduce the Council obligation for sponsorship from three (3) sponsors to one (1) sponsor and to leave the staff obligation unchanged. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Rushe felt that requiring two (2) Council members to agree was the best course of action, noting that it would be difficult for an ordinance to move forward without the agreement of at least one (1) other member. Mr. Lynn felt there should be an opportunity for all matters to be discussed on the floor as it was his belief that the power of debate can transform an item to a different idea. Responding to Mr. Rushe, Mr. Lynn stated that he was unaware how other municipalities handle this matter.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 10, 2013 PAGE 7 Mr. Perza suggested that this matter be brought back for discussion at a future meeting after obtaining input from staff regarding the most efficient use of the process. Mrs. McDowell noted that the history of the sponsorship requirement had not been included in the meeting packet and suggested that the matter be deferred until the next meeting so that this information could be provided and information could be gathered regarding what other municipalities require for sponsorship. Mr. Hare stated that he did not disagree that there was inequity between the staff and Council sponsorship requirement; however, he stated that even in Congress a second sponsor is required. Mr. Lynn moved to table the matter so that members of the Committee and Council could review the history of how the current procedure came about, seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.

The full faith and credit of the City shall not be pledged to pay principal and interest on the Bonds.

to each owner of such Bond at the address of such owner as it appears on the books of the Registrar as of the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding the month in which the payment date occurs (the “Record Date”). The Bonds may be issued in book entry form, registered in the name of a securities depository (the “Depository”) and immobilized in the custody of the Depository subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Mayor in which case the Mayor may execute and deliver on behalf of the City a letter of representations in a form and with such content as the Mayor may determine to be in the best interest of the City.

If at the time of mailing of any notice of optional redemption the City shall not have deposited with the Paying Agent moneys sufficient to redeem all the Bonds called for redemption, such notice shall state that it is conditional, that is, subject to the deposit or transfer of the redemption moneys with the Paying Agent not later than the opening of business on the redemption date, and that such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited. Section 4. Form of Bond. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Section 5. Disposition of Bond Proceeds.

The balance of the Bond proceeds shall be placed in the Construction 5

Fund and shall be distributed only to finance the projects as set forth in the applicable Supplemental Resolution and costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Separate sub-accounts shall be maintained in the Construction Fund to segregate funds with respect to each series of Bonds. The City may otherwise establish such sub-accounts as it shall deem appropriate. Monies in the Redemption Fund may be invested at the direction of the City in U.S. Government Investments and monies in the Construction Fund may be invested by the City in Qualified Investments. Earnings from investment of the funds in the Construction Fund shall be maintained in the Construction Fund, and shall be treated and disbursed as Bond proceeds. Earnings from investment of the funds in the Redemption Fund shall be deposited in the Water and Sewer Fund after certification of sufficiency required in section 7 infra. Any proceeds of the Bonds remaining after payment of all project and issuance costs shall be transferred to the Water and Sewer Fund. Section 6. Pledge and Disposition of Net Operating Revenue. The City hereby pledges the Net Operating Revenue to the payment of principal and interest on all Bonds. The City hereby covenants with the holder that it will, so long as any Bonds remain outstanding, make the following deposits from the Net Operating Revenue Redemption Fund. (1) On the fifteenth day of each month the City will deposit into the Redemption Fund an amount equal to one-sixth (1/6th) of the amount necessary to pay interest on the Bonds which will become due during the six months following the deposit. Prepayment of monthly deposits will fulfill this requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall deposit into the Redemption Fund from the Net Operating Revenue an amount sufficient to permit all interest due on the Bonds to be paid on the date it is due. (2) On the fifteenth day of each month, the City will deposit into the Redemption Fund an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount necessary to pay the principal on any Bonds which will become due during the twelve months following the deposit. Prepayment of monthly deposits will fulfill this requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City will deposit into the Redemption Fund from the Net Operating Revenue an amount sufficient to permit all principal due on the Bonds to be paid on the date it is due. (3) On the first day of each month the City shall deposit into the Reserve Account an amount equal to one-twelfth (l/12th) of any Reserve Account Deficiency determined to exist on the immediately previous December 15th valuation. Except in the event of a Default, Net Operating Revenue on deposit in the Water and Sewer Fund may be expended by the City for the following purposes and in the following priority. First: Operating Expenses. Second: Redemption Fund and Reserve Account Deposits. 6
