Page 5

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 2 WHEREAS, children are the embodiment of innocence and hope for the future and every child deserves to be loved, cared for, and protected from verbal, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse and neglect and have the opportunity to grow up in a nurturing environment, free from harm and fear; and WHEREAS, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway, by ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to care for their children, we can help promote children's social and emotional well-being and prevent child maltreatment. Research shows that when parents possess six protective factors, the risk for neglect and abuse diminish. Those six protective factors are: Nurturing and attachment; Knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development; Parental resilience; Social connections; Concrete supports for parents; and Social and emotional developmental well-being. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of April 2013 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in the City of Dover and implore all citizens to commit to learning about the behavioral and physical signs of abuse and to promote and encourage the knowledge, skills, and resources available to aid parents in caring for their children. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Ms. Gwen Stubbolo of the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program. Ms. Stubbolo advised members that many of the children who are abused enter the foster care system in Delaware. She noted that the individuals who work with CASA are volunteers who “stand up” and speak for children in the court and community in an effort to help these children move forward with their lives. She also advised members that Mrs. Sophia Russell, former member of City Council, served as an advocate with CASA for over 10 years before her recent passing. Mr. Lynn advised members that he had recognized Child Abuse Prevention Month each year since becoming a member of City Council. Noting that he was involved with Family Court on a regular basis, he explained his personal knowledge of the people and programs in the community that make a real difference in preventing child abuse and noted that Ms. Stubbolo and CASA had made such a difference. PROCLAMATION - MILITARY SPOUSE APPRECIATION DAY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, it is through the strength and resilience of our military spouses that our troops willingly accept their mission to serve and protect our country and loved ones, knowing the relentless courage of their spouses will prevail and that the prayers of not only their spouses but of all their supporters will help them get through the darkest of times; and

Page 6

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 3 WHEREAS, military spouses must endure hardships resulting from separation from their loved ones, including the added responsibilities of maintaining home and family and stress from not knowing the fate of the troops overseas, and military spouses should be applauded for their continued support and patriotism while the difficulties they face show no mercy and do not discriminate among ranks; and WHEREAS, former President Ronald Reagan established Military Spouse Appreciation Day in 1984 and U.S. Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger established the Friday before Mother's Day as a nationally recognized day of observance of the powerful difference spouses make in the lives of our service members. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim May 10, 2013 as Military Spouse Appreciation Day in the City of Dover and encourage all citizens to be cognizant of the plight of military spouses and show support by offering friendship, empathy and understanding, realizing that they, too, are making daily sacrifices for their country. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Mrs. Jeanie Anderson, wife of Councilman David Anderson, and Ms. Patricia Crilley, Delaware National Guard Youth Services Director. PROCLAMATION - MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, there are 1.8 million children with a parent serving in the military, approximately 900,000 with one or both parents deployed and nearly 45,000 who are living with a parent's wound, injury, illness or death; and WHEREAS, in 1986, Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger designated each April as "The Month of the Military Child," to recognize the contributions that each military child makes as their parent or parents serve and protect our nation; and WHEREAS, each April all branches of the U.S. military provide special events and programs to honor and support military families for their continuous courage, sacrifices and resilience; and WHEREAS, in 2005, Operation Military Kids was originated to connect military children with local resources in order to achieve a sense of community support and enhance their well-being. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim April 2013 as Month of the Military Child in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to recognize our military children for their accomplishments and resilience and to focus on supporting them through the struggles they encounter being a part of the military.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 9 Mr. Jerry Driggus, property owner, advised members that he was one (1) of the five (5) owners of the property and that they were wanting to sell the property to Holy Trinity Church, who indicated an interest in purchasing it. Ms. Cornelia Johnson, representative of Holy Trinity Church of the Living God, located at both 425 and 429 West Division Street, introduced Pastor Marcus Smith; Mr. John Smith, the Church’s General Contractor; and members of the Executive Board of Trustees. She confirmed that the Church had been talking to the owners regarding the possibility of purchasing the property. She wanted members of Council to know of their interest and to determine the amount of time they would have available to obtain financing for the purchase of the property, as well as time to make any necessary repairs to the property. Mr. Lynn questioned the length of time that would be necessary for an agreement of sale to be drafted between the Church and the current property owners. Responding, Ms. Johnson felt that 60 days would be necessary. In response to Mr. Bonar, Ms. Johnson stated that representatives of the Church had been in contact with the property owners and that the most recent conversation was held earlier in the day. She assured members that the current property owners were interested in the sale of the property. Elaborating on the request of the Church, Mr. John Smith stated that once the purchase was made, they hoped to determine whether to demolish the structure and create a parking lot or make repairs to the structure. They would then return to advise Council of their decision. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. John Smith stated that if the property were not used for parking and if repairs were made to the structure, it would be their intention to use the property for rental purposes. Since he had been able to inspect only the outside, he was unsure if the structure was worth renovating. It was his feeling that this may be too costly; therefore, he anticipated the property to be used for parking. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Bonar moved to table action on this item for 60 days to allow members of the Church the opportunity to negotiate a sale; if no sale is in process after the 60 days, the structure located at 427 West Division Street shall be declared a dangerous building and subject to demolition, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Dixon, Lynn, Bonar, Williams, Hare, Hutchison, and Leary), one (1) no (Perza), and one absent (Anderson).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 10 PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - APRIL 8, 2013 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on April 8, 2013 with Chairman Bonar presiding. Review of Revised Active Recreation Plan - Woodmill Apartments Ms. Janelle Cornwell, City Planner II, reviewed the Revised Active Recreation Plan for Woodmill Apartments. She noted that Woodmill Apartments is not a Planned Neighborhood Development; it is a multi-family residential development, consisting of 14.12862+/- acres, located south of Farmview Drive and east of Mifflin Road. She stated that the apartment complex consists of two (2) parcels of land with eight (8) apartment buildings, consisting of a total of 258 units. The property is zoned RG-2 (General Residence Zone). She advised members that the use as garden apartments is a permitted use within the RG-2 zoning district. Ms. Cornwell advised members that at the time the apartment complex was originally developed, Active Recreation Area was not a requirement. She indicated that the apartment complex was reviewed by the Planning Commission in 1988, 1989, and 1990 and that the swimming pool and clubhouse were added in 2000. Members were reminded that the requirement for Active Recreation Area under the current Zoning Ordinance is 275 SF per dwelling unit. Based on the 258 dwelling units, 70,950 SF (1.62879+/- acres) of Active Recreation Area is required for the development. There is currently 55,295 SF of Active Recreation Area within the development, which includes a 4,600 SF swimming pool, a 1,800 SF volleyball court, two (2) tennis courts (totaling 13,804 SF), a 2,563 SF playground, and lawn area around the swimming pool, clubhouse, and volleyball and tennis courts. Ms. Cornwell advised members that the Revised Active Recreation Area Plan indicated that 76,234 SF (1.75+/- acres) of land would be reserved as Active Recreation Area with the elimination of the tennis courts and by creating a park area on the west side of the property. The revision proposed the elimination of the tennis courts on the east side of the property. The clubhouse, swimming pool, and volleyball court on the east side of the property will remain. The revision includes the addition of a picnic table and horseshoe pit on the west side of the property. A play area that contains a playground is located in the area of the proposed horseshoe pit and picnic table. A large lawn area on the west side is central to the revised recreation area. Ms. Cornwell, stating that the proposal must be considered by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee for a recommendation prior to by the Planning Commission, reviewed information from the submitted Plan (last updated March 21, 2013). The Committee recommended acceptance of the Revised Active Recreation Area Plan for Woodmill Apartments as presented and with the inclusion of staff’s comments and recommendations. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 11 Presentation - Central Delaware Soccer Association Mr. Brian Ford, President of the Central Delaware Soccer Association (CDSA), introduced Mr. Mike Womer, Vice-President of the CDSA. Mr. Ford began by advising members that there will be a wave of activity coming to the City of Dover and that the CDSA wanted to be sure the City is postured to take advantage of it. They reviewed a presentation entitled “CDSA Soccer Academy - Promoting Today’s Teamwork for Tomorrow's Leaders”. Noting that there are multiple sports utilizing the fields at Schutte Park, as well as the general public, Mr. Ford stated that the purpose of the presentation was to examine the space that is available at Schutte Park. He stated that the CDSA has the most kids in a program at that facility and wanted to take the lead and alert the City of the wave of activity that is coming and the demand for the use of the fields. Referring to the presentation, Mr. Ford reviewed some of the schedules and the volume of teams and participants at both the CDSA Park and Schutte Park, noting the revenue that was generated through concessions and referring to revenue that it brings into the City in general through gas purchases, hotel stays, etc. Referring to the presentation, Mr. Ford supported his reference to the potential for revenue by reviewing comparisons with other locations similarly situated to the City of Dover by way of tournaments. Mr. Ford provided a brief history of the CDSA and advised members that they created a five (5) year strategic plan over a year ago, and that a part of that plan was to get the CDSA to run like a business. He stated that the CDSA has approximately $500,000 worth of value in the Club and that jobs are being created. Mr. Ford referred to the paid positions on page 7 of the Presentation and stated that there have been two (2) additional part-time positions created: Director of Operations, with a salary of $8,000; and Administrative Assistant, with a salary of $6,000. Mr. Bonar stated that Dover High School will be vacating their current football field and questioned if the CDSA has had any contact with Dover High School regarding the possibility of using that field once it is vacated. Responding, Mr. Ford advised members that the turf field at Dover High School is beyond its lifespan and that within a year or so, it will be in such disrepair that an insurance rider could not be obtained to play on the field. He explained that UV rays deteriorate the turf after approximately 10 years; therefore, there would be a substantial investment required to make necessary repairs for its use. He also noted that the area would only provide three (3) fields, which is not sufficient for the CDSA. Mr. Ford stated there was a possibility of utilizing the fields at the new Dover High School and Schutte Park for a tournament in the future, since they are in close proximity to one another. In regard to bringing tournaments to the area, Mr. Ford noted the possible economic benefits for the City of Dover by way of individuals purchasing hotel rooms, food, gas, etc. He also noted that Kent County is perfectly situated between New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Virginia Beach. He advised members that these regions do not typically play each other in tournaments due to the distances between each; however, tournaments held in Kent County would only be 2 hours and 20 minutes from all locations, which would allow those leagues to participate in tournaments against one another. In addition, the fees for these tournaments are being paid to states other than Delaware because there are no facilities to host such tournaments.

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 12 Elaborating, Mr. Womer indicated that a 3v3 tournament for recreational players had 150 teams participate in a single weekend event. Referring to page 14 of the Presentation, Mr. Ford advised members that the “end game” for the CDSA is to become a Development Academy. He reminded members of the CDSA’s strategic placement on the Mid-Atlantic Coast and noted that D.C. United recently affiliated with Beach FC, which is located in Virginia Beach. Mr. Womer noted that Beach FC began small and has grown into a huge organization, similar to what the CDSA is now attempting to create. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Ford stated that if there were two (2) turf fields added to Schutte Park and the remaining fields were kept as grass, the CDSA’s plan could be accomplished. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning, Community Development, and Recreation, stated that the cost of building a turf field would be a minimum of $1M and would have a 10 year life span. Noting that Dover High School has recently gone through the process of obtaining costs, etc. for creating turf fields, Mr. Ford suggested that they be contacted to provide details. Concurring, Mr. Bonar requested that members be provided with this information. Mrs. Townshend advised members that City staff has included funds in the CIP for next year to begin the land planning at Schutte Park. Further discussions regarding the CDSA can occur during the CIP review process. She indicated that with the current activities at Schutte Park, parking is an issue. If the City is going to consider providing additional fields for the CDSA, consideration must also be given to providing adequate parking and developing a stronger turf management plan. She explained that the charges for renting the fields have been ridiculously low; therefore, there has not been enough revenue generated to cover the costs for maintenance. In response to concerns of Mrs. Townshend, Mr. Womer noted the possibility of the CDSA and other similar organizations sharing revenues to help support maintenance, explaining that there are certain allocations for running the programs that could help in this way. Mr. Bonar requested that staff provide additional information to allow for the consideration of assisting the CDSA in the next budget cycle for planning purposes. Responding, Mrs. Townshend assured members that funds for planning have been included in the budget for next fiscal year. She stated that staff has planned to utilize parkland reserve funds and plans to apply for State Grants to be used to offset costs. Request of WEAVER (Women Empowered Against Violence in Every Relationship) for Placement of a Monument in the North Street and Governors Avenue Pocket Park Mr. Bonar noted that the City has received a request from WEAVER (Women Empowered Against Violence in Every Relationship) for the placement of a monument in the planned North Street and Governors Avenue Pocket Park. He introduced Representative Darryl Scott. Ms. Fay Myers, member of WEAVER since 2008 and Board Member of the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence, reviewed the WEAVER brochure and explained that WEAVER is a Task Force of the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She advised members that the

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 13 goal of WEAVER is to educate the community about the effects of domestic violence. Ms. Myers stated that this is accomplished by working with employers, police departments, government officials, etc. and by speaking at various organizations throughout the community. Ms. Myers explained the Silent Witness Project, which consists of silhouettes of men, women, and/or children who lost their lives during an act of domestic violence. It was suggested that a pocket park located in the City of Dover be used for the placement of wooden silhouettes, without names, to serve as a reminder that domestic violence exists and that everyone has the ability to do something to help stop it. She assured members that any funds required would be the responsibility of WEAVER. Mr. Bonar noted that the next agenda item was consideration of the design for the Pocket Park to be located at the corner of North Street and Governors Avenue. He suggested that after the presentation of the Pocket Park Design, Ms. Myers meet with Mr. Greg Moore, Becker Morgan Group, to discuss the possibility of including the request of WEAVER into the design and that it be presented to the committee for further consideration. Representative Scott stated that, in addition to visiting churches, schools, etc., Ms. Myers is also educating local legislators. He advised members that once every 15 minutes a woman is affected by domestic violence (75%) and that men are also affected. According to a recent survey of 8th graders, he stated that one (1) in every four (4) students indicated witnessing some type of domestic violence. Representative Scott thanked members for their consideration. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Further discussion and action regarding this item took place during consideration of the Pocket Park Design that follows.) Pocket Park Design - Corner of North Street and Governors Avenue During their Regular Meeting of October 22, 2012, City Council approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation that a pocket park be established on the property located at 301 South Governors Avenue (on the southeast corner of South Governors Avenue and North Street) once the City holds the title to the property. In developing the park design, it was noted that the City would work with the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) to ensure that the design minimizes the maintenance burden through a combination of pavers, mulched landscape areas, and the selection of plants, trees and shrubs that are attractive yet less intensive to maintain. Mr. Jonathan Street, Civil Designer for Becker Morgan Group, reviewed a Site Plan for the North Street Pocket Park. He advised members that the pocket park would be a continuation of the North Street Improvement Projects and would serve as a gateway to the downtown area from North Street. In response to Mr. Bonar regarding the request of WEAVER, Mr. Greg Moore, DDP Board President, stated that, although the DDP would be making the improvements, since it is City property, the City would have the final decision regarding the request of WEAVER. However, he felt that the red silhouettes may not be appropriate due to the close proximity to residential properties. He suggested the possibility of placing a placard or some type of appropriate sign board on a masonry column that is planned for the park area.

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 14 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning, Community Development, and Recreation, noted that the design is consistent with the Transit Center Neighborhood Plan that was developed by the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization and the DDP. The DDP received funds through the State Bond Bill for improvements along North Street between State Street and Governors Avenue. These improvements included the Loockerman Way Plaza, North Street Streetscape and Paving, and the North Street Parking Lot Consolidation. These projects came in below the budgeted amount and the DDP allocated some of the cost savings to the development of a Pocket Park on the property at 301 South Governors Avenue. Mrs. Townshend explained that since the site will be owned and managed as a City park, the project must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee and ultimately approved by City Council. In addition, the design will require review and approval by the Planning Commission, following a recommendation by the Historic District Commission. Staff recommended endorsement of the conceptual design, recognizing that a more detailed landscape plan identifying actual plant species will be developed in coordination with the Public Works Department as the plan progresses through the Site Development Plan process. In response to Mrs. Townshend, several members suggested the possibility of some type of silhouette, dark in color, in order for the WEAVER issue to “stand out.” Having no objections to a silhouette, Mrs. Horsey relayed concerns with lighting. She also requested that consideration be given to the adjacent residents and suggested the possibility of providing additional vegetation on the south and west side of the property to provide landscape screening in an effort to improve aesthetic for these residents. She also warned members of skateboarders utilizing the park. The Committee recommended approval of the pocket park design with the addition of appropriate screening for the adjacent neighbors and an appropriate tribute to victims of domestic violence, as requested by WEAVER. During the Council Meeting, Mr. Bonar reviewed the Committee’s discussion and recommended action regarding the Pocket Park design, as well as the previous agenda item, Request of WEAVER (Women Empowered Against Violence in Every Relationship) for Placement of a Monument in the North Street and Governors Avenue Pocket Park. He stated his understanding that Mr. Perza had removed these items from the Consent Agenda due to the possibility of other individuals or entities having a desire to place a placard or memorial within the park. He relayed no objections to referring the matter back to the Committee and welcoming other interested parties to approach the Committee with their requests. Mr. Bonar moved to refer the matter back to the Committee for their meeting scheduled for June 10, 2013, seconded by Mr. Dixon. For clarification, Mr. Perza explained that prior to the City committing to make physical improvements to the park, he felt it would be important to get input as to what other ideas and designs the public may have for the park. It was not a reflection on any concerns regarding the

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 15 request of WEAVER particularly; however, he felt that, since it is City land, members should open the subject up to the public to solicit ideas regarding how the City could best use the park for public purposes. The motion to refer the matter back to the Committee for their meeting scheduled for June 10, 2013 was unanimously carried. Benchmarks Established for the Economic Development Office Mr. Bill Neaton, Economic Development Director, reviewed the Benchmarks for the Economic Development Office. He noted that the Benchmarks have been divided into different categories for Downtown Dover Development and the Economic Development Office. Mr. Neaton reminded members that during the last review of the Benchmarks held in the fall, Mr. Anderson had requested that a survey on merchants and business owners be conducted and the results provided to members. Noting that the survey was conducted in the spring and the results have been provided to members, he highlighted the fact that, of the 41 respondents, 16 were identified as female owned businesses and 12 were identified as minority owned businesses. Mr. Neaton noted that several businesses have been in business in the downtown area for several years. Although most business owners did not feel safe after dark in the downtown area, he noted that the majority felt safe during the day. It was his feeling that this was the result of the Dover Police Department and Downtown Safety Task Force accomplishments during the past year. Referring to the responses regarding parking accessibility, Mr. Bonar felt that the negative responses were an indication that there is a very deep misunderstanding of the available parking, noting that there are three (3) parking lots located nearby and well within walking distance of any business in the downtown area. Responding, Mr. Neaton indicated a responsibility in advising the merchants of the available parking and suggested the possibility of taking business owners on a tour of the downtown area to point out the various parking spaces. Mr. Bonar noted that the survey indicated that there are existing businesses planning to close or relocate within the next year, which is very disconcerting. He requested that the City take whatever action possible to assure the businesses remain in the downtown area. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Neaton stated that there is a company from Germany interested in a parcel at the Garrison Oak Tract and that the first site visit is scheduled for tomorrow. It is their desire to acquire a ten (10) acre site with the possibility of expanding to (twenty) 20 acres in the future. There is a second site visit tentatively scheduled for next week from a food processing company that is also wishing to acquire a ten (10) acre parcel of land. Mr. Neaton also advised members that he will be focusing on the Garrison Tract, since there is a new Executive Director for the Downtown Dover Partnership. UPDATE - CDBG PROGRAM Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, reviewed the Status of FY12 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projects - March 2013. She provided members with a table depicting the program funds spent for FY 2013. Mrs. Harvey advised members that Habitat for Humanity has acquired their 11th property and already has a buyer, once the property is renovated.

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 16 Mrs. Harvey announced that the City of Dover has met the timeliness standard for the expenditure of funds in a timely manner. For the record, Mr. Bonar announced that Mr. Anderson’s official duty as a Committee member is coming to an end for a year since he is being deployed to Afghanistan. He relayed appreciation for Mr. Anderson’s contributions to the Committee and, more importantly, the community. Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried. UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - APRIL 8, 2013 The Utility Committee met on April 8, 2013 with Chairman Bonar presiding. Presentation by GAI Consultants - City of Dover Electric System Valuation Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that there have been discussions regarding the value of the City of Dover Electric System for several months. Last fall, staff worked with Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s power supply attorney, to prepare an RFP for consulting services in conducting an electric system valuation in an effort to determine the value of the assets. He stated that GAI Consultants was selected to perform the electric system valuation services and introduced Mr. Gerald Hartman, Vice-President of GAI. Mr. Bonar advised members that the City has owned an electric utility for 90 years and that, to everyone’s knowledge, a thorough valuation of this type has never been performed. Mr. Hartman reviewed a Presentation - Electric System Valuation Services Final Report Briefing, noting that the study consists of two (2) parts: A) Valuation of Electric Utility System based on Original Cost, Replacement Cost, and Comparable Sales Analyses; and B) Community Impact Analysis. Referring to Part A, he explained that the income approach was not utilized since it was a not-for-profit utility and was not requested in the scope of services. Referring to Part B, he explained that there are two (2) parts: 1) a financial analysis for the City, which was reviewed considering the various revenue requirements for the City, impacts of a typical purchase and sale, and how those transactions occur; and 2) an evaluation of how it impacts the customers by conducting comparative rate evaluations (present and future). With reference to page 13 of the presentation, Mr. James Long, 323 Columbia Avenue, Dover, stated that two (2) of the top five (5) providers of power through the retail market in Delaware are out-of- state providers authorized by the Public Service Commission. He noted that this is a very competitive market and we are living with an umbrella that may or may not be here in five (5) years. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hartman confirmed that the regulated, investor-owned, public utilities in the State of Delaware do not have independent condemnation powers and would be required to obtain legislative approval, whereas the City of Dover has independent condemnation powers. Mr. Hartman noted that the net funds available for lawful purposes total $159,600,000 (page 21 of presentation). As an example, Mr. Hartman explained that if the City put the funds into Jumbo Bonds, which is done in these types of transactions, staggered from 6 to 30 years in maturity, the

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 17 coupons, depending on the investments taken, would produce between 4½% and 5.1%; therefore, at year six (6), the City would have $30M in a working capital fund outside of the net proceeds. He explained the importance of these funds, noting that since there would be no utility generating income, it would provide any necessary emergency funds. Depending on the credit worthiness selected (AA, Jumbo, or BBB+), the Bonds would provide an estimated $8.5M to $10M per year investment earnings for years six (6) through 30, in addition to the $30M working capital funds. Considering franchise fees for years six (6) through 30, Mr. Hartman indicated that at 5%, assuming the City remains at $90M per year, there would be approximately $4.5M. Therefore, on the low end, the annual revenue relative to this investment situation would equate to $13M per year, over 30 years. In addition, he stated that the City could institute a utility tax. In conclusion, Mr. Hartman advised members that the City could have a financially sound transaction and that the City should compliment its stewards, which would be staff, professionals, and elected members in maintaining a good system. He stated that the City being financially sound in this respect is an indication that the City’s contract vendors, staff, and elected officials have made fairly good decisions; therefore, the utility system has been managed fairly well and, as a result, the value is pretty good and it would be sustainable. Referring to the electric rate comparisons (pages 23-31), Mr. Hartman stated that the sale of the City’s electric utility would benefit commercial and large users the most, which could be a factor in attracting economic development. However, he noted that residential customers would receive the least benefit, although they could benefit. Although members may choose not to sell the system, Mr. Hartman assured them that it would be financially sound. He noted that the power market is constantly evolving, changing, and is not constant; therefore, the long-term projections may have a greater variance over time. In response to Mr. Perza regarding the projected investment values, Mr. Hartman stated that they were provided at the request of Mr. Betts and explained that it was not a part of the scope by GAI Consultants. He explained that GAI Consultants does not serve as an investment banker or attorney but that the numbers serve only as an indication of potential investment values. Regarding the replacement costs for specific components, Mr. Hartman indicated that those types of details are included in the full report in the packet material. It was his opinion that, based on the type of system, it would not be beneficial to break the utilities up in a sale, explaining that the solar contract is currently not very profitable and the City is making approximately $1M off of generation, which is better to be blended in with the transmission/distribution customer base. Mr. Perza explained that the reason for his question was that certain individuals in the community will oppose the sale of the City’s electric utility system regardless of the situation. Therefore, as the system breaks down and needs to be replaced, he questioned what the replacement costs are for certain components to the system and if the City will be able to absorb those costs moving forward. Responding, Mr. Hartman stated that those details would be provided by conducting a renewable replacement study of the assets, which was not a part of the scope for GAI Consultants, explaining that GAI Consultants was requested to value the assets versus what the CIP would be to maintain assets over time. He suggested that Burns and McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc., who serves as the City’s engineer, would need to be contacted for such information.

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 18 Mr. Bonar suggested that members review the Burns and McDonnell study that was completed a few years ago and, along with the information provided by GAI Consultants, prior to making any final decision. Mr. James Long noted that there has been only one (1) General Electric LM6000 installed in the area, which was done by the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC), and that project cost $35M for a 50 megawatt machine. With regard to putting everything into the power house, the current technical experts he has talked to recommend a divided greenfield approach, particularly given the ability to Black Start. The City’s VanSant unit and DEMEC’s new GE have a Black Start feature. It is argued that it is better to move these close to the load rather than putting them on a brownfield type of arrangement. In reviewing the report provided by GAI Consultants, Mr. Long relayed concerns, noting that the amount of $96.12 listed for Delaware Electric Cooperative (Co-op) (page 23 of the presentation) is incorrect. He stated that the rate is currently at $121 and has never been as low as $96. In addition, Mr. Long stated that there is an amount for the Co-op for Large Commercial rates; however, they do not have any large commercial customers, nor do they have industrial customers. He stated that the Co-op’s average residential bill over a year is $1,551 and the Co-op’s average commercial bill is $2,100. He felt that GAI Consultants has created the environment where the electric utilities throughout Delaware have competitive rates; however, the Co-op has no customers. He advised members that there are only three (3) utilities that truly provide service to fairly significant commercial customers: Delmarva Power, City of Dover, and Newark (mainly the University of Delaware). Mr. Long stated that the pricing mechanism provided by GAI Consultants leads him to believe that all companies are competitive. Responding to Mr. Long, Mr. Hartman stated that although many of the utilities depicted do not have the same load in industrial and commercial customer base, they do have rates and charges that they have promulgated. He concurred that the demand charges based on load are great in the Co-op. Mr. Blakeman questioned if the calculations take into account the competitive nature of the utility in relation to future development and growth. Responding, Mr. Hartman indicated that if the City were to maintain the utility, businesses could be attracted through economic development. Otherwise, if the City were to sell the utility, those types of situations would need to be included in the purchase and sale agreement. The reason the Co-op would want the City’s utility is because it would provide them density, noting that they are a rural type utility. Mr. Bonar clarified that the study conducted by GAI Consultants does not include a firm recommendation, explaining that it was not the intent of the valuation study. He also indicated that there is no motion on the table to entertain the sale of the City’s utility, nor has there been any private discussion regarding the sale of the City’s utility. The study is simply a mechanism to provide the City a value of what the City’s utility brings to the residents and businesses in the City of Dover to help members of City Council make a decision at some point as to whether they wish to sell the utility or not. Responding to Mr. Long, Mr. Bonar reiterated that no offer has been made by the Co-op for the purchase of the City’s utility, nor has such an offer been sought by the City. With reference to the June 27, 2011 Utility Committee Meeting, Mr. Bonar stated it was an informational presentation

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 19 provided by the Delaware Electric Cooperative and confirmed that he invited representatives of the Delaware Electric Cooperative. The Committee recommended acceptance of the City of Dover Electric System Valuation as presented by GAI Consultants. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson absent). TEA/NAES Reports (December and January) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the TEA/NAES Monthly Reports for December 2012 and January 2013, and reminded members that staff reviews this report with TEA on a monthly basis. The report is provided to allow for the monitoring of electric sales and revenues received, which provide a better understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allows the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. The Committee recommended acceptance of the TEA/NAES Monthly Report for December 2012 and January 2013. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson absent). UPDATES Members were provided the following updates: Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that staff has been working with the Becker Morgan Group on the completion of the subdivision plans for the Garrison Oak Technical Park Project. Becker Morgan Group has made all submissions to agencies such as the Conservation District, DelDOT, and City of Dover Public Works and Planning Departments. Staff is currently working on the final design issues associated with the overall Park. It is expected that the construction plans will be completed and bids let in the next few months for the sanitary sewer system, water tower, and the road and stormwater systems associated with the Park. Mr. Bonar commended staff for their efforts the last several weeks, noting that there have been weekly conference calls with Calpine (which staff will provide an update on during the latter part of the meeting). Dover Sun Park Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the Electric Revenue Fund FY 13 - White Oak Solar Park Incremental Cost spreadsheet. He noted that the City has paid $124,074 more than it would have paid if bought through hedge or contract purchases through the Energy Authority. Basically, he explained that the City paid a premium of $124,074 for the solar park component of the City’s portfolio; however, he reminded members that the renewable component is now a requirement.

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 20 Calpine Energy Center Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the Calpine (Garrison) Energy Center is a component of the Garrison Oak Technical Park. He stated that Calpine has issued their full notice to proceed to KVAERNER, which is the contractor that will be conducting the final engineering and design as well as constructing the 309MW power block. As previously mentioned, he stated that there have been weekly conference calls. The Planning and Public Works Departments are working through the final design components of the Garrison Energy Center and have received their necessary approvals from DelDOT because they don’t exit out onto a State road. In addition, there have been discussions regarding the issue of the extension of the Eastern Shore gas transmission line from Cheswold to the area. The City is also working on the transmission from the power block back to the City’s 230kV tie. Mr. Koenig relayed appreciation to staff for their hard work and diligence on this project. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig stated that the approval provided by Kent County Levy Court was for access across a piece of Kent County owned land. He stated that discussions with representatives of Kent County will be held soon regarding accessing the Garrison Oak Park and that City staff has a preferred access. He stated that it may be necessary to grant access easements from the City, which will require Council approval. With regards to the gas line, Mr. Koenig stated that he has not had any discussions with the gas company regarding their desires, noting that the majority of the line is outside City limits. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson absent). QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the Revenue Report as of March 31, 2013. Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of March 31, 2013, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION BY CITY MANAGER - ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY In accordance with Section 46-43 of the City Code, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, performed the required semi-annual inspection of the Dover Fire Department on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 with Chief Patrick West. He met with Chief West at Station #1 and discussed a variety of current issues. According to the Chief, the increased fire activity this year had increased the average number of volunteers responding to each incident. The average response had been 18.3 volunteers per incident. The Chief indicated that all engines have passed the required pump tests and are in good working order. Engine #7, a 1997 Pierce, is the oldest vehicle in service. The Chief also indicated that, to his knowledge, there had been no further issues related to the voice recording system in the building. Mr. Koenig indicated that the Fire Chief’s Assistant position would become vacant in the near future and that Chief West would be submitting a Permission to Recruit form. He noted that the Chief was also interested in possibly hiring more part-time Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD) certified dispatchers to help fill in for sick/vacation time and to potentially reduce overtime costs.

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 21 Mr. Koenig assured members that the Robbins Hose Company continues to provide an outstanding level of service to the City of Dover. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the report of the Semi-Annual Robbins Hose Company Inspection, as submitted by the City Manager, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Anderson absent). 2013 MUNICIPAL ELECTION RESUTLS Mrs. Traci McDowell, City Clerk, reported the 2013 Municipal Election results, explaining that, in accordance with Title 15 Del.C. §7555 (j), where the number of qualified candidates for an office is equal to or less than the number of seats up for election, the Board of Elections shall declare the candidate or candidates elected.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 22 COUNCIL MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS Council President Leary announced that May 5th - May 11th is Drinking Water Week. He noted that only tap water delivers public health protection, fire protection, support for our economy, and the quality of life we enjoy. Since everyone in the community is a steward of the City’s water infrastructure, upon which future generations depend, he encouraged each citizen to help protect the City’s water sources from pollutants and to practice water conservation. Council President Leary noted that on May 6, 2013, a Special City Council meeting was scheduled for 6:00 p.m. regarding Council President candidates, with the election of the President to take place during the Annual Meeting on May 13, 2013.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on April 22, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza (arrived at 5:02 p.m.), Mrs. Williams, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Council President Leary (arrived at 5:01 p.m), Mr. Hare and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2012 Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that, in accordance with the City’s bond covenants, an annual inspection of the City’s electric system by an engineer is required. She reviewed the conclusions of the Annual Engineering Consultant’s Report on the Operation and Maintenance of the Electric System - Fiscal Year 2012 prepared by Burns & McDonnell, as follows: 1) The City’s power generation facilities are being operated and maintained consistent with generally accepted electric utility practice in the United States. 2) The design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the City’s electric transmission and distribution system and the associated facilities are consistent with current generally accepted electric utility standards and over the past few years, the system has been upgraded in order to improve operation and service to customers. 3) The Electric Division capital projects included in the City’s Capital Investment Plan and the FY 2013 Operating Budget are necessary and should provide improved reliability and power quality for the Electric System. 4) The balances as of June 30, 2012 for the various reserve funds maintained by the City for the Electric Division appear to be sufficient for their defined purposes. 5) The insurance coverage in full force and effect as maintained by the City related to the various assets of the Electric Division appears to satisfy the requirements of Section 706 of the Resolution. 6) The electric revenues generated by the City’s current retail rates are more than sufficient to fulfill the debt service coverage requirement (125 percent of current expenses) defined in Section 502(c) of the Resolution.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on April 22, 2013, at 5:30 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Anderson was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Dixon, Mr. Perza (departed at 5:42 p.m., returned at 5:45 p.m., departed at 5:48 p.m., and returned at 5:58 p.m.), Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hutchison, and Council President Leary. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hare moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Emergency Replacement of Police Dispatch Center Raised Floor Police Chief Hosfelt reviewed a request for the replacement of the Police Dispatch Center raised flooring. He advised members that the raised floor configurations are required to provide the space and ventilation needed for all the computers and associated wiring for the center. The current flooring is rated at 1000 lbs. per square foot, and during the last five (5) years, the flooring has failed at least six (6) times. In all cases the City’s fleet maintenance shop personnel assisted police personnel with making temporary repairs by welding the parts back together and/or reinforcing the worn parts to make them reusable. The last failure, which occurred in early March, happened when an employee was standing on the floor as one tile collapsed. Although the employee was not hurt in this incident, the flooring needs to be replaced to prevent any future failures and ensure the safety of police personnel. Members were advised that after the floor was fixed temporarily in March, the Police Department contacted a contractor with some experience with raised flooring installations and repairs, who stated that the flooring in the Dispatch Center was not rated highly enough to withstand the load imposed and recommended 1,250 lb. rated flooring. The costs for repair ($16,082.75) versus replacement of the flooring ($19,715.10) were fairly close and the disparity was the result of the difference in cost between the two (2) grades of the floor systems. Both options would require the temporary relocation of the Dispatch Center to KentComm and involve high costs for the logistics of moving the equipment around in the room to accommodate the project. He indicated that replacing the flooring was the only viable option since the current flooring was not designed to sustain the current loads safely. Staff recommended approval of the flooring replacement by Cherokee Nation Construction Services. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Emergency Replacement of Weyandt Hall Carrier Chiller Compressor Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the large chiller on the roof of Weyandt Hall, which cools most of the building, no longer worked and was in desperate need of repair. The chiller had been inspected by the City’s approved Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Contractor, Progressive Mechanical, and three (3) proposals were presented for consideration, as follows: 1) replace the compressor on the carrier chiller with a rebuilt compressor (one (1) year warranty) at a cost of $8,925; 2) replace the compressor on the carrier chiller with a new compressor

Page 59

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 2 (five (5) year warranty) at a cost of $13,600; and 3) replace the carrier chiller with a new carrier chiller (10 year warranty) at a cost of $38,500. Mr. Koenig stated that, after reviewing the proposals, staff determined Proposal #2 to be the most cost effective and recommended that the work be performed as soon as possible. Staff recommended awarding a purchase order in the amount of $13,600, based upon proposals provided by the City’s approved HVAC Contractor, Progressive Mechanical, and allowing for the usage of non-budgeted receipts from the sale of assets this year to pay for the unbudgeted emergency purchase. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Koenig explained that EDiS was requested to inspect the building for HVAC and roofing issues. To his recollection, the replacement cost for the HVAC was estimated at more than $2M. Staff felt that the recommendation to replace the compressor would be sufficient until such time as the entire system is replaced. In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig reminded members that during the Council Financial Workshop held on January 7, 2013, there was discussion regarding the current state of building assets owned by the City, including City Hall, 5 East Reed Street, and the old Library. He stated that the systems in these buildings are old and that these issues will be reviewed to determine whether staff will propose building replacement or major renovations. If City Hall and Weyandt Hall are not replaced, he stated that it will be necessary for the City to make major building renovations within the next three (3) to seven (7) years. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to award a purchase order in the amount of $13,600 to Progressive Mechanical for the replacement of the compressor on the carrier chiller with a new compressor (five (5) year warranty) and to allow for the usage of non-budgeted receipts from the sale of assets this year to pay for the unbudgeted emergency purchase. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2013-07 Amending Chapter 2 - Administration, Article VI - Other Post- Employment Benefits Fund (Medicare Part B Reimbursement Eligibility Clarification Members were reminded that during the July 27, 2009 Regular Council Meeting, members of City Council voted to support the recommendation of the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee as it related to the topic of reimbursement to non-bargaining employees for Medicare Part B premiums. The recommendation was that current employees would remain eligible; however, new hires would not be eligible for Medicare Part B premium reimbursements. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, explained that the intent of the recommendation was to establish a defined (closed) group of eligible employees upon approval by Council. It was implied that the group of eligible employees would not be increased going forward from that point in time. In reviewing the ordinance, it appeared that employees who were hired on or before July 27, 2009 but were in union positions at the time of the Council action of July 27, 2009 (thus not entitled to the reimbursement due to union membership) would become eligible for the reimbursement if

Page 60

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 3 subsequently promoted or transferred to a non-bargaining position. Employees being promoted or transferred are not new employees; therefore, based upon the recommendation that was approved by City Council, these employees would be eligible for the reimbursement. Mr. Koenig explained that the current Police Chief and Police Major were promoted after July 27, 2009. The Chief was promoted from Captain to Major on November 21, 2009 and then to Chief on April 4, 2011. The Major was promoted from Captain to Major on April 4, 2011. At the rank of Captain they were not eligible for the reimbursement; however, they were now non-bargaining employees and, because they were not considered new hires, they were eligible for the reimbursement. Additionally, the current Records Unit Supervisor was promoted from a Police Clerk II position to the Records Unit Supervisor on April 8, 2013 and was also eligible for the reimbursement. Mr. Koenig advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2013-07 would amend Chapter 2 - Administration, Article VI – Other Post-Employment Benefits Fund, Section 2-505 - Medicare Part B Premium Reimbursements to allow employees who were transferred or promoted to non-bargaining positions on or before the date of adoption of this ordinance to receive Medicare Part B premium reimbursements. The amendment clarifies that non-bargaining employees hired after July 27, 2009 and employees promoted or transferred to non-bargaining positions after May 28, 2013 who were not previously entitled to Medicare Part B premium reimbursement shall not be entitled to the reimbursement. In addition, he stated that amendments would remove redundant language and improve readability. Staff recommended adoption of Ordinance #2013-07 amending Chapter 2 - Administration, Article VI - Other Post-Employment Benefits Fund, Section 2-505 - Medicare Part B Premium Reimbursements. In response to Mr. Rushe, Mr. Koenig stated that the benefit value would equate to approximately $100 per month; therefore, he did not feel the proposed amendment would deter an employee from accepting a promotion. Responding to Mr. Dixon, Mr. Koenig felt that those employees previously referenced were the only ones who were affected; however, if there were other employees, he assured members that the language included in the proposed ordinance would allow for them to qualify. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation for the adoption of Ordinance #2013-07, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Local Market Salary and Position Comparison Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, indicated that during the past year, various members of City Council had inquired about the competitiveness of the various City salary scales compared to the City’s peer group. The issue of compensation had been a difficult subject matter, given all of the components necessary to consider equivalent pay and benefits. Most recently, he was requested to

Page 61

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 4 conduct a Local Market Salary and Position Comparison using the following governmental units as the peer group: 1) Kent County, Delaware; 2) State of Delaware; 3) City of Wilmington; 4) City of Newark; and 5) City of Milford. Mr. Koenig advised members that if the request were approved, staff would conduct the local market salary and position comparison using the City’s existing position list. If the governments to be surveyed did not have a similar position, it would be noted in final documentation. The data to be collected would be assembled and analyzed by the City Manager, the Controller/Treasurer and the Human Resources Director. It was anticipated that this effort would require approximately ninety (90) days from City Council approval. Mr. Koenig reminded members that during the past few years, staff had checked with other local governments to determine how the City of Dover’s salaries relate to those other local governments. He indicated that several members of Council had conveyed concern regarding individual salaries and have also expressed the opinion that at some point positions “top out.” For example, he stated that a vehicle driver or manager will reach a point where they earn as much as they should based on the market. He noted that there are employees who have remained in their positions for many, many years, and in some cases, the salary for the position is over market and in other cases the salary is under market. In general, he felt that the City’s current salary scales were within the market, as was indicated last year by the Salary and Benefits Committee. However, he felt that there was a need to routinely update the data and poll the market to assure that the City was being competitive. Mr. Koenig informed members that if there were a need to make any adjustments, it would be the subject of collective bargaining, with the exception of the 45-50 non-bargaining employees. Mr. Hare encouraged staff to also inquire about benefits, any “extras” offered, etc., explaining that there may be instances where the salary for a position in another jurisdiction is higher; however, they may not offer benefits that are provided by the City. He also suggested that staff check policies and procedures for extra-duty police officers, comp time, exempt positions, overtime, etc. He felt that if such a comparison were to be made, staff should cover all bases in this regard. Mr. Hutchison noted that a comprehensive study/update was conducted a couple of years ago which would provide the foundation to work from and allow staff to simply update data. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that all the data previously collected remained relevant and that staff had retained all benefit comparisons and coinciding spreadsheets. He reminded members that although the salary information for the Salary and Benefits Committee was obtained in June 2011, the Committee’s report was submitted in June 2012. He concurred that some positions were difficult to compare. To his knowledge, no similar survey had been conducted by the University of Delaware; however, he assured members that staff would contact them and others to assure that a similar comparison had not recently been conducted. In response to Mr. Dixon, Mr. Koenig stated that although there would be no costs associated with the comparison, there would be internal staff hours.

Page 62

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 5 In response to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that the data would be used to update the study conducted by the Salary and Benefits Committee. He reminded members that the City no longer utilizes the Pay for Performance (PFP) System; therefore, if a salary increase were recommended for a non-bargaining employee, he would have to provide members of City Council data to support the request. Although he did not anticipate using the data for the FY2014 Budget, it was his opinion that it would be used for future budgets. With regard to the jurisdictions selected for the comparison, Mr. Koenig stated that those were the specific entities staff was requested to contact. It was his opinion that if the entire Consumer Price Index (CPI) region was included, there may be a need for the assistance of a third party consultant, explaining that what members of Council consider equivalent and what staff consider equivalent may not necessarily be the same. He noted that the jurisdictions selected were from the local market, rather than regional or mid-Atlantic, and were considered peers within the State that the City converses with on a regular basis. Mr. Lynn stated his objections to the scope of the project, explaining his feeling that it duplicated what had already been done and would not provide any benefit. He felt that if it were expanded to include the CPI region, the proposal would make more sense to him. It was Mr. Hare’s opinion that a comparison of salaries for Trenton, New Jersey, or Annapolis, Maryland could not be made with the salaries for Dover, Delaware due to the tax structure, cost of living, etc. However, he reiterated the need for a review of policies and procedures. Mr. Lynn questioned the possibility of staff reviewing the study that was conducted by the Salary and Benefits Committee and making recommendations based on that data. Responding, Mr. Koenig explained that the result would be that the salaries and benefits for the City of Dover were competitive. He reminded members that the study did not recommend wholesale changes to any salary and that the recommendations resulting from the study were to limit Medicare Part B, noting that there were also some discussions about limiting education assistance to the Master’s level rather than the Doctorate Degree. He expressed his opinion that the comparison would not cause a negative effect on union negotiations. Mr. Lynn explained his concerns, noting his belief that the Salary and Benefits Committee was the catalyst for the formation of the new labor union. He indicated that he would not want to cause an uproar or further estrange Council from City employees, noting that morale was already low among City employees, and stated that he would not want to inflame the workforce any further. Mr. Bonar stated that he understood some of the concerns relayed by Mr. Lynn; however, he did not feel that the review would inflame, discourage, or demoralize City employees. He felt that one of Council’s responsibilities was to thoroughly examine pay schedules and revenues every year. He indicated that he would prefer to have a more extensive review, such as including the CPI region; however, he understood that this could “open Pandora’s box” and would require a much larger study, which would not be prudent from a financial standpoint. In response to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig stated that whenever pay and benefits are discussed, there is an effect on morale.

Page 63

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 6 Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig further clarified that the atmosphere around the origination of the Salary and Benefit Committee created some animosity because it was perceived that the intent was to use the information to reduce salaries, benefits, etc., rather than to be used as a comparison. It was his feeling that the current proposal differed since its aim was to measure the salaries of other jurisdictions so that staff could utilize the data in the future for inclusion in collective bargaining agreements or to design total compensation packages for the City. He reminded members that the discussions in 2009 included Medicare Part B, Pay for Performance, healthcare cost sharing, etc., and in some cases had a negative effect on employees. It was his belief that the data would prove that the City of Dover provides a good salary and benefit package for its employees. He assured members that the City of Dover takes care of its employees, not just through their employment but through their retirement, and welcomed anyone wishing to debate him on this issue. Mr. Hare moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager, Controller/Treasurer, and Human Resources Director to conduct a local Market Salary and Position Comparison as requested, and that the comparison include information regarding benefits, policies, and procedures related to such matters as extra duty for police officers, comp time, and exempt positions. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and carried with three (3) yes (Hare, Rushe, and Shevock), one (1) no (Lynn), and one (1) absent (Anderson). By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:14 p.m. Sean M. Lynn Chairman SML/TM/jg/js/mk/dd S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS\Committee-Minutes\2013\04-22-2013 LF&A.wpd

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting was held on April 24, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza (arrived at 5:11 p.m.), Mr. Davis, and Mr. Keller. Mr. Dixon was absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Keller moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. Safety Concerns - New Dover High School Pedestrian/Vehicular Traffic During the Committee Meeting of January 30, 2013, staff reviewed concerns regarding pedestrian/vehicular traffic in the area surrounding the new Dover High School. As a result, the Committee recommended that staff be directed to gather information from the Capital School District, including the number of people going in and out of the school and the total number of students walking and driving, as well as information from the Police Chief pertaining to traffic patterns, accidents, and safety information, and that this information be compiled, perhaps including input from State officials, and presented to the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) with a request for further review and consideration of a traffic signal at the east entrance of the New Dover High School. This recommendation was approved by City Council during their Regular Meeting of February 11, 2013. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning, Community Development, and Recreation, introduced Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), as well as Mr. Jonathan Hermes and Mr. Andrew Howard of Century Engineering. She reminded members that staff met with representatives of the Capital School District and determined that, although the signalization was an important issue, there were also concerns regarding gaps within the pedestrian network. A meeting was then held with MPO staff and, with their assistance, a Dover High School Pedestrian Study was performed and a pedestrian plan for the new high school was developed which identified sidewalk gaps in the network. She advised members that costs were being obtained for addressing these gaps and that a meeting had been scheduled with local legislators for Tuesday, April 30, 2013 in an effort to obtain funding assistance. Mrs. Townshend provided members an informational brochure on High-Intensity Activated Crosswalks (HAWK) Signals (Attachment #1) and explained that this is a pedestrian only activated system. She advised members that a HAWK signal has been approved as meeting the warrants for the east entrance of the new Dover High School and will be installed at that location. Responding to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend stated that DelDOT had clearly indicated that the intersection did not meet the warrants for a standard traffic signal. However, she explained that once the infrastructure (conduit, wiring, etc.) for the HAWK signal was installed, if at some point in the future the intersection met the warrants, it would be easier to change the signal rather than having to dig up roadway, install conduit, and install a whole new signal. She felt that the HAWK signal would address well over half of the concerns and issues; however, it would not address concerns regarding bus traffic turning into the site. She noted the possibility that once the school is

Page 65

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2013 PAGE 2 operational, if there is an indication that a standard traffic signal is needed, the City could request a warrant analysis. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that buses would enter the site at the east end and teachers and students with vehicles would use the west entrance. Mr. Davis noted that pedestrian traffic would interrupt bus traffic entering the site. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that there would be further discussions regarding the intersections and assured members that issues regarding bus and pedestrian traffic would be brought forward. Mr. Keller noted that it appeared the concerns regarding the pedestrian crossing had been addressed; however, no action had been taken to alleviate issues related to bus traffic. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that she felt confident that this issue would be brought up for consideration during the meeting to be held with legislators. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Vetter estimated that there would be approximately 270-275 students within a two (2) mile radius walking to school. He stated that public involvement would be needed to address pedestrian access, particularly from owners of property where an easement would be necessary. Mr. Vetter reviewed a Dover High School Pedestrian Study Map (Attachment #2) and advised members that the pink areas denoted sections where there were currently no sidewalks and the blue outlined existing sidewalks. He advised members that a concept plan was developed, including drainage, utility, rights-of-way, etc., and the cost to complete the work was estimated at $450,000. He reiterated that the purpose of meeting with the legislators was to attempt to acquire sources of funding. (Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mrs. Townshend clarified that this estimate applied to the cost of filling sidewalk gaps on the north side of Route 8 and that an additional estimated $450,000 would be required to address gaps on the south side of Route 8.) Elaborating, Mrs. Townshend stated that providing a signal without a safe way for pedestrians to access it (a sidewalk) would not offer a safe means of access to the school. She indicated that, in accordance with State law, if there were no safe way for students to walk to school, the Capital School District would be required to bus students. This would not be a good use of public monies; therefore, there was an incentive to install sidewalks. She advised members that the Pedestrian Study also provided information regarding longer-term issues that need to be addressed, such as additional pedestrian traffic on Mifflin Road, drainage issues, sidewalk gaps along Kenton Road and in front of Nottingham Meadows, etc. However, she explained that the sidewalk gaps on the north side of Route 8 need to be addressed before the opening of the school. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Hermes indicated that there is a HAWK signal located on Route 72 in Newark approaching Library Avenue that has been in use for approximately nine (9) years. The signal was erected to provide University of Delaware students access to and from the College of Agriculture and associated farmland. He stated that although these signals are used in many other states that would have more information, the HAWK signal on Route 72 is the first and only such signal in Delaware.

Page 66

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2013 PAGE 3 Mrs. Townshend noted the importance of a warrant analysis in determining the need to install HAWK signals, explaining that if there is not enough pedestrian volume, drivers do not become conditioned to the traffic signal, which can cause safety issues. She felt confident that the signal for the new Dover High School would have a substantial amount of use by pedestrians, unlike the signal in Newark for the University of Delaware. Mr. Hutchison suggested that Mrs. Townshend visit Newark to observe the HAWK signal to obtain a better understanding. No further action was taken by the Committee. Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning, Community Development, and Recreation, provided an update on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects, as follows: DelDOT Repaving Project Mrs. Townshend stated that the repaving project had started back up. Milling and paving of Governors Avenue was tentatively scheduled for the first two (2) weeks of June and milling and paving of Loockerman Street for mid-June to the end of June. Loockerman Street would be the last location to be completed, tentatively by the end of July, at which point the entire contract should be complete. West Dover Connector Mrs. Townshend indicated that DelDOT continued to refine the final plan package for the project, with submission planned to occur at the end of the year. The rights-of-way acquisitions were ongoing, with cleared rights-of-way planned for March 2014. Demolitions had begun on the total acquisitions processed to date on Charles Polk Road. Advertisement of the project was scheduled for April 2014, with construction to start in late Summer 2014. Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector Mrs. Townshend advised members that there was no funding in the current Capital Transportation Program (CTP) for the Hazlettville Road Connector project. Preliminary engineering money was previously shown in FY 2017; however, in the latest round of funding cuts, all funding for that project was moved to the out years. Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects - Rich Vetter Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), announced that a groundbreaking for the Capital City Trails had been scheduled for Friday, April 26, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. at Legislative Hall. Members were provided a copy of the flyer for the event. Mr. Vetter indicated that Century Engineering had been working with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) regarding the possibility of making improvements to West Street, such as trail connections (sidewalks) in the area, in an effort to provide a connection to the Transit Center.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2013 PAGE 4 Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning, Community Development, and Recreation, stated that the Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee meets every two (2) weeks and that the next meeting was scheduled for May 7, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. at the Dover Public Library. Mrs. Townshend announced that a “Bike to Work Day” event was being organized to be held on May 15, 2013 and that members would be provided further information as the event approaches. Mr. Davis moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Keller and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 5:24 p.m. James L.

Charles Paradee Representative - State of Delaware PO Box 1401 Dover, DE 19903 Dear Representative Paradee: The City of Dover offers its full support of the proposed House Bill to amend Title 29, §10006, of the Delaware Code relating to the Freedom of Information Act. This amendment will allow a member of a city, town or municipal council who is serving in the military or armed forces overseas to attend meetings of such municipal body by video-conferencing.
