CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 3 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RENAMING COURT STREET, DUKE OF YORK STREET, AND WILLIAM PENN STREET AS MARTIN LUTHER KING STREET; RENAMING CAPITAL DRIVE AS COURT STREET (RETAINING THE COURT STREET ALLEY NAME); THE PLACEMENT OF PLAQUES OF DEDICATION TO WILLIAM PENN AND THE DUKE OF YORK; RENAMING THE DOVER PUBLIC LIBRARY IN HONOR OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. During their Regular Meeting of November 26, 2012, City Council approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation to set a public hearing at this time and place to consider a proposal to rename Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets as Martin Luther King Street, to rename Capital Drive as Court Street, and for the alley currently named Court Street to remain Court Street, and to consider the placement of plaques of dedication to William Penn and the Duke of York on the respective streets and the proposed renaming of the Dover Public Library in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Members were reminded that the initial proposal was to rename the entirety of the Division Street (Route 8) corridor, which crosses west to east through the City of Dover (City limit to City limit), as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Staff noted that the proposal was being brought forward by City Council through the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee and was not following the procedure specified in Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98, Article II, Section 98-45 Street Name Change Procedure, which begins with a petition from property owners. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the Staff Review Report and Development Advisory Committee Comments. The new street name proposed is Martin Luther King Jr. Street. As part of the renaming proposal, the internal drive aisle within the Courtside Apartment complex would be named Court Street. Also, the alley street segment on the south side of the current Court Street located between River Road and Cowgill Street would retain the name of Court Street. Members were provided a map of the proposed corridor. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the DAC has offered recommendations regarding the proposal, as follows: 1. Staff recommended that if the street name change is approved by City Council that an effective date of February 1, 2013 be set. This will give the affected agencies time to make the necessary operational changes and for notification of property owners. 2. Staff recommended the use of the street term “Boulevard” rather than “Street.” Resulting in a street name as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. 3. If the one way segments of Duke of York Street and William Penn Street are also selected for the street name change, then Staff recommended that the use of the post direction identifier of North and South should be utilized. Resulting in street names of Martin Luther King Jr. Street (Boulevard) North and Martin Luther King Jr. Street (Boulevard) South.

Page 7

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 4 4. Staff recommended the use of the post direction identifier of North and South for the areas to remain named as Court Street: Court Street North for the internal drive aisle within the Garden Court Apartments and Court Street South for the street segment south of the existing Court Street where the single family houses exist. 5. As part of the Development Advisory Committee process, a series of City, County, and State agencies were notified of the street name change request. Any comments received regarding the request were attached to the report. 6. Upon approval of the street name change, notification of appropriate City, County, and State agencies will be completed by the City of Dover. 7. Upon approval of the street name change, a public outreach effort (in various media) is recommended to alert residents, customers, visitors, etc. of the change and its implementation. A key contact point should be established for questions. 8. Upon approval of the street name change, the installation of updated street name blades and other associated street signage will need to be completed by the City of Dover. 9. Upon approval of the street names and assignment of street numbers (if necessary), it is the responsibility of the individual property owner to bear the cost of and take action to repost address number and update appropriate mailing address on documents. 10. In this area of the City, there are a number of Information Map Kiosks located throughout the Legislative Mall area, at the Johnson Victrola Museum, and within public parking lots i.e. Bradford Street Lot that will need to be updated with the street name changes. These maps were funded and installed by various state agencies and non-profit groups. 11. The motion of November 13, 2012 by the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee also included other recommendations for the placement of plaques of dedication for William Penn and Duke of York and a proposal for the renaming of the Dover Public Library in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This report does not provide a review of these proposals. a. Staff noted that the Delaware Public Archives manages the Delaware Historical Markers program where markers are placed at historically significant locations statewide.

Page 8

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 5 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that if Council approved the proposal as is and did not include properties located on South or North Court Street, there would be no residential properties affected by the proposed change. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. Mr. Jim Stewart, 742 Bicentennial Boulevard, indicated his support for the street name changes. He noted that the media had mentioned the new Library in their report of this proposal and since the Library Capital Campaign remains underway, he requested that the naming of the Library not be included in this matter since it could affect fund raising efforts. Mr. Bruce Haas, 53 N. Halsey Road, explained his partial opposition to the street name changes, noting no objections to the renaming of that portion of Court Street from the bridge to Route 13. He stated his opposition was with the renaming of William Penn and Duke of York Streets. He reminded members that if it wasn't for the Duke of York, residents would be speaking Dutch and be answering to New York or Amsterdam, and if it wasn’t for William Penn, Delaware’s capital would be Harrisburg and that when William Penn was granted lands from Pennsylvania and later Delaware, he established laws. He felt that any change in these street names would be disrespectful to these individuals (the Duke of York and William Penn). Mrs. Ann Stewart, 742 Bicentennial Boulevard, stated that although she supported the renaming of the streets, she requested that the naming of the Library not be considered in conjunction with this proposal. Mr. Bernhard Greenfield, 901 Wilson Drive, noted that Martin Luther King, Jr. accomplished so much more for not only his people but for the entire country and he felt that he deserved to be given recognition. He suggested that rather than changing street names to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., that the City name the new Library as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Dover Public Library, which would cost substantially less than the remaining of streets. Mr. Robert Bresnahan, 14 Muirfield Court, advised members that as a member of the Friends of the Library, he supported the current name of the Dover Public Library. He expressed pride in the Dover community, City Council, and State legislators, particularly Senator Brian Bushweller, for the manner in which the proposal had been handled, which he felt had demonstrated the concept of a democratic society. He reviewed the process involved with the consideration of the proposal and felt that it had been a wonderful example of citizens and government leadership in this community sharing a desired goal and then finding a solution acceptable to all parties involved. He congratulated all who participated and have been involved in this democratic process. Mrs. Beverly Bresnahan, 14 Muirfield Court, stated that she was addressing members both as the Secretary to the Friends of the Library and as a resident. Although she did not support the renaming of the Dover Public Library, she did support the proposal to rename Court Street in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She reminded members that many individuals in the community had made donations to support the construction of the new Library. In addition, she stated that she was speaking on behalf of Barbara Qaissaunee, another Board Member of the Friends of the Library who

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 6 was not able to attend the meeting, and that Ms. Qaissaunee's family held a fund raiser and family and friends contributed enough to have a room in the Dover Library named for her husband, Dr. Abdul Qaissaunee. She stated that another Friend of the Library, June Honeycutt, also wished to be quoted, stating: “Those of us who got behind the Friends of the Library and their efforts to urge the public to make donations to the new Library, made those donations to a Library that was and should continue to be named the Dover Public Library.” Mrs. Bresnahan advised members that she, along with her husband, were proud to sponsor a reading nook in the new Library in honor of her mother, Lorraine Napier, who taught her the love of reading and libraries. She reminded members that all raising of money for the new Library was done in the name of the Dover Public Library and felt that was what it should continue to be named. Mr. William Daisey, 215 Pine Street, relayed his support for the renaming of Court Street and felt that it should include the entire area suggested, including William Penn and Duke of York Streets. It was his feeling that if asked who William Penn or the Duke of York were, the residents of Dover would not know. He advised members that most State capitals have a street named in honor of Dr. King; however, Dover is one of the few that did not and, being the capital of the First State, Dover should not be the last to have a street named for Dr. King. He stated that most people do not fully realize what Dr. King accomplished, explaining that he supported all people and not just minorities. Mr. Daisey stated his involvement in the 1960s March on Washington with Dr. King and recalled the anger over discrimination/segregation. Without the peaceful alternative offered by Dr. King, he stated that there would have been a civil war. As a result, he stated that Dr. King prevented a civil war which would have destroyed the United States, recalling that Russia was a powerful force and would have taken over at that time. Referring to the previous comments of Delawareans speaking Dutch, it was his opinion that if there was a civil war at that time, all citizens of the United States would be speaking Russian. Considering all that Dr. King had done for all peoples, Mr. Daisey felt that Dr. King was deserving of having a prominent street named in his honor and urged members to support the proposal. Mr. Fred Tolbert, 35 Karen Place, stated that although the capital of the First State had been extremely tardy with respect to honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and there were some who opposed the proposal to rename Division Street in his honor, remarks made in opposition to this location were due to various inconveniences and costs associated with such a change. He felt it should be noted that the State of Delaware and particularly the capital city, Dover, has a history of negative attitudes toward sensitive social issues. Mr. Tolbert stated that the opposition to the original proposal by the Legislative, Finance, and Administration (LF&A) Committee was thought by many to be expected and highly questionable. He reminded members that his remarks during the Committee’s hearing on September 10, 2012, were as follows: “The renaming of a portion of Division Street to honor the name of Reverend Martin Luther King is a very small way to honor such an internationally known hero and civil rights leader. In reality, it would be significantly more appropriate to name the new Dover library after Martin Luther King and/or to erect a memorial to him in a prominent place such as: 1) the front of the new library, 2) on Loockerman Street on the islands in front of City Hall, or 3) on The Green. These suggestions are offered not as an alternative to renaming Division Street but in addition to renaming Division Street.” Mr. Tolbert felt that the LF&A Committee demonstrated the much needed strength and willingness to begin to bring the City of Dover into the mainstream thinking of America today. He also felt that the recent national

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 7 election was a strong indication of the changes taking place in this country. In his opinion, the revised proposal to honor Dr. King was an acceptable alternative plan to honor America’s contemporary hero and was made even more meaningful by not only renaming Court Street, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets as Martin Luther King Street (or Boulevard) but also proposing to rename the Dover Public Library in his honor. After reviewing the proposal, he strongly encouraged approval of the proposal as presented. Ms. Annie L. Scott, 216 Saxondale Lane, referred to a letter presented by N.C. Vasuki, President of the Friends of the Dover Library, and stated that she serves as the Vice-President and is in total agreement with the comments previously made by Jim and Ann Stewart and Mr. and Mrs. Bresnahan. To avoid the appearance of obfuscating or confusing the original request to rename a Dover City street to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., she felt that it would be prudent for the City to investigate the procedures used by other cities that wish to honor individuals by naming streets in their honor. She encouraged City Council to develop a carefully crafted procedure for renaming streets. Ms. Pauline Maurice Taylor, 368 Stonebrook Drive, stated confusion regarding the need to rename those streets that surround the capital building (Legislative Hall), explaining her opinion that there are some things that should remain the same (William Penn and Duke of York Streets). Not supporting the word “division,” she felt that Division Street should be renamed to honor Dr. King. She advised members that streets should be named after many people in the City of Dover and the State of Delaware, both black and white. She stated that utilizing Court, William Penn, and Duke of York Streets to honor Dr. King would be putting him in the background, where only visitors would be aware of the street name, and that William Penn and the Duke of York were famous people too and part of the founding country. Reverend John G. Moore, 216 Fairfield Drive, Magnolia, (Youth Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church located at Queen and Fulton Streets in Dover), stated that this was a historic night. He advised members that at the turn of the twentieth century, a man by the name of Charles Tinley wrote the song entitled “I Will Overcome One Day,” which had since been changed to “We Shall Overcome” and became the theme song for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He reminded members that Dr. King believed in the “beloved community” and that this community was totally opposite from the desegregation that was occurring in the communities of Dr. King’s time. Dr. King believed that God had birthed all children with the opportunity to be all that they could be, which was the foundation of his dream. The beloved community was themed around “integration” and that no matter the color or your skin, denomination, ethnicity, etc., one would be able to achieve their dreams because they lived in a country that made it possible. Reverend Moore stated that the City of Dover has the opportunity to reflect that beloved community. He reminded members that next year will be the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, where Dr. King gave his most famous speech “I Have a Dream”. Referring to the word “Dream,” he advised members that he had translated this word as follows (and suggested that all citizens of this great City should do the same): D = Dedicated (to do all that we can to make sure that the City is fair and make sure that we recognize a man who has such great history in this country); R = Resilient (regardless of the challenges and differences of opinions, the citizens are able to come together in unity); E = Enthusiasm (all should have an energy to work together to see the proposal come to fruition); A =

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 8 Attitude (one that is positive and with the right attitude, anything can be accomplished); and M = Motivated (all should be motivated to put differences aside and come together as a City in unity and be able to fulfill a dream so that Dr. King, from heaven above, could say “free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, he’s free at last.” Mr. Gerald L. Rocha, Sr., 523 Schooner Court, indicated his support for renaming Court, William Penn, and Duke of York Streets to Martin Luther King, Jr. Street (or Boulevard). It was his belief that Court Street serves as a gateway into the City of Dover. He stated that the issue is racial, since Dr. King stood for all humanity, and that he was only mentioning this due to a recent comment in a local newspaper regarding an individual being Polish and questioned what recognition they would be provided. He reminded members that Dr. King stated: “God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men, brown men, and yellow men, but God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race. Creation of a society where all men will live as brothers.” Mr. Rocha stated that Dr. King stood for equality, which leads to unity. In his military capacity as Program Manager of the Dover Air Force Base Honor Guard, his primary responsibility was ensuring the return of America’s fallen heroes, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, with dignity, honor, and respect. He stated that Dr. King was also a hero who paid the ultimate sacrifice for humanity and that, in his capacity as a community leader, he would assume the responsibility of ensuring that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was recognized with the dignity, honor, and respect due for a man who served as a drum major for justice, peace, and righteousness for all humanity. Mr. Ali Abdul Aleem, 138 Lingo Drive, questioned how Dr. King would view the deliberations of this matter. He felt that there was an entity that sees and hopes that the best will come from all of us and come together to help each other. He reminded members that God created each one of us and, in addition to our color, God gave us capacity. Mr. Aleem felt that if Dr. King were present, he would not be squabbling, but rather encouraging everyone to come together for the greater good of all and not to view each other as black and white but rather to see each other as good, helpmates, and as brothers and sisters. He stated that the naming of a street does not give a man honor but respecting each other and naming the street (or whatever is selected) would, since it would relay a message. Reverend Frances Benson, Pastor at John Wesley AME Church, Division Street, voiced her approval for renaming Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Although she had no objections to the inclusion of the renaming of the Dover Public Library in honor of Dr. King, she felt that the Library had its own job and that the street naming would show more for the community. She urged members to take the appropriate action and approve the renaming of the streets. Council President Leary noted the receipt of correspondence (Exhibit #1) in regard to this issue. Mr. N.C. Vasuki, 215 Carnoustie Street, advised members that he supported the renaming of the streets. He stated that he serves as President of Friends of Dover Library (and the Dover Library Foundation) and that donations continued to be sought for making future improvements. He suggested that City Council take the necessary action tonight to rename the streets as recommended.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 9 Ms. Dorothy Snyder, 9 Douglas Court, stated that her comments regarding the issue had already been relayed by others who supported renaming of the streets as recommended, so it was not necessary for her to speak. Reverend Rita Paige, 355 Rita Wilma Road, stated that she is a part of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA) and that she agreed with much of what had been said and thanked members for the process that had been taken regarding this issue. She reminded members that the initial request was to rename Division Street in honor of Dr. King and that it was felt that was the best proposal. For those who were still in favor of Division Street, she explained that no one “gave up” on the issue or agreed to compromise, but rather used wisdom in listening to those who were in opposition and to Councilman Perza’s proposal. At that time, due to less cost and impact on people, etc., it was agreed that Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets would be the best proposal. Noting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., sacrificed his life to have policy and laws changed for the betterment of all humanity, she felt that there was no better place for than those streets that are located and head in the direction of the area in which laws are changed. She encouraged members to support the proposal, which she felt to be a “win-win” for all. Reverend Michael B. Rogers, 118 Springfield Way (President of the IMA), relayed appreciation for the process that had taken place in the consideration of the request. He stated that their efforts were to seek recognition for Dr. King in Dover, Delaware, and urged members to approve the recommendation to rename Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets as Martin Luther King Street. Reverend Richard Avant, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, 9 Waterwheel Circle, commended Reverend Dixon for his recent election to City Council and acknowledged that his Pastor and Bishop were in attendance. He thanked God for utilizing Councilman Perza for providing an alternative recommendation. Referring to the recent passing of Councilwoman Sophia Russell, Reverend Avant thanked members of Council for their presence during her “going home” ceremony and for the naming of a room in the Library in her honor. Mr. Bob Federwitz, 105 Revolutionary Boulevard, thanked members for the opportunity to speak and stated that he moved to the City of Dover two (2) years ago. In doing research before their move, he advised members that he and his wife were excited to learn that the City of Dover was forward thinking, particularly in the the building of a new library. He relayed support for the renaming of the streets in honor of Dr. King; however, he felt that the library should remain as the Dover Public Library. Mr. Gene Ruane, 122 Shadow Court, read the following statement into the record: In just a few weeks the Country will celebrate a holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dover has a long and cherished tradition of remembering Dr. King's memory and ideals on this day. The morning celebration at the Modern Maturity Center and the

Page 13

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 10 noon celebration at Delaware State University are well attended and memorable events each year. However, unlike the King January holiday, which comes just once a year, a commemorative street name provides a physically permanent memorial that is present all the time. Naming a street represents a more concrete way for Dover to display its commitment to Dr. King's memory and ideals. Or, as Councilman Lynn suggested during the Legislative & Finance Committee meeting on November 13th, remembering Dr. King's memory and ideals by renaming a street in Dover will "make King's memory more visible and personal to a larger cross section of the community." Furthermore, a street touches more people than simply naming a public building or park after him. People who wouldn't go to a building or park named for Dr. King will drive on a commemorative street for business or personal reasons, especially if the street is a gateway street into the city. They will see the name at the intersections, on signs pointing to the road, and on maps. It will pop up on Map Quest and GPS systems. More people will come into contact with it. I believe that Councilman's Perza's proposal to rename Court Street to honor Dr. King's memory best satisfies the criteria that might be used to determine where King's memory is best situated or placed within the city's streetscape. First of all, Court Street connects well with existing commemorative and historic places in the city. Secondly, as Councilman Perza noted at the Nov. 13th LF&A meeting: Court Street is a major gateway into the city and the State Capitol complex. It is a "prominent, visible thoroughfare of the Capitol that serves as an entrance to the legislative corridor which attracts attention from Delawareans and Legislators from all three counties"--and I might add, "tourists" who come regularly to see the Capitol of the First State. Court Street contains a "mixture of residential neighborhoods." With the exception of a small Route 13 strip, there is no commercial development. And, as Councilman Perza further stated: "it would minimize much of the impact mentioned" in prior hearings.

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 11 The cost would be less than some other proposals. And, from what I read in the minutes of this same meeting, persons who have been advocating for such a commemorative street will support the Court Street proposal. For all these reasons then, I urge the Council to designate Court Street as the street to commemorate the memory and ideals of Dr. King. Ms. Gwen Elliott, 999 Sorgham Mill Road, Magnolia, stated that public libraries throughout the State of Delaware are named after their cities and felt that naming the facility anything other than its city would be distracting, explaining that individuals would question a library’s location if named something other than the city. Dover Public Library provides information as to its exact location; therefore, she favored maintaining the Dover Public Library on the map. Mr. Philemon Hill, property owner of 3728 N. DuPont Highway, felt that the majority of the community did not favor the renaming of the library; however, they did support the renaming of Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets as Martin Luther King Street. He stated that according to history, before this country was founded by Columbus, Indians owned everything. Someone then came over from Europe came over and started claiming land in the name of the King/Queen. It was his hope that the Duke of York or William Penn did not steal land from the Native Americans. Mr. Hill reminded members that Dr. King was a man of peace and had the desire for everyone to have opportunities. Noting that Councilman Perza had photos of his daughters on the presentation provided, he reminded members that Dr. King also had daughters before he was assassinated and was unable to raise and teach his daughters, who did; however, grow up with a family structure. He reminded members that Dr. King tried to provide this country with a conscience and had the desire for everyone to be provided the right to express their liberty. He noted that many men and women lost their lives in order to maintain freedom. He requested that all keep freedom and be free at last. Reverend Ellis Louden, 3 Michael Court (Pastor of Mt. Zion AME Church), reminded members of the significance of the issue and the life of the community. He advised members of a trip he recently took to Seattle, Washington, where there is a major thoroughfare going through Seattle named Martin Luther King Way, and the county seat for Seattle is named for Dr. King. He felt that all have come to the conclusion that Dover, Delaware, must join the many communities who have gone through these types of processes to determine how to honor a man who was important not only to a community but important to the nation and world. He stated that it was time for members of City Council to make the historic decision to allow Dover, Delaware, to join other communities across this nation, including Seattle, Washington. There being no one else wishing to speak, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Lynn advised members that he was first introduced to the issue of renaming a street in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during a Towne Point/White Oak Community Homeowners' Association Meeting. After listening to a presentation provided at that time, he realized that, for his constituents,

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 12 the street renaming held significantly more import to their community than merely honoring Dr. King, including the essence of social justice and a sense of self and worth. As a result, he forwarded the issue to the LF&A Committee for their review and recommendation to City Council. Acknowledging that this had not been an easy journey, Mr. Lynn relayed appreciation to Mr. Perza for his support and for crafting a compromise that would allow this overdue honor to become a reality. He stated that their Mr. Perza's and his own daughters would stand on Martin Luther King Boulevard in several years and know that their fathers had a role in making it possible. He quoted “It shouldn’t be easy to do amazing things, then everything would be amazing. It’s the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something is difficult to come by, you’ll do that much more to make sure it’s even harder or impossible to lose.” Mr. Lynn moved to approve changing the name of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard; including renaming the internal drive isle within the Garden Court Apartments as Court Street and also including retaining the name Court Street for the alley street segment on the south side of the current Court Street between River Road and Cowgill Street; and that plaques and/or other demarcations be installed noting the streets formally known as Duke of York and William Penn Streets. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Perza suggested that Staff Recommendation #4 be excluded so that there would be no variation for Court Street to be reflected as north or south. Although there were no objections by the maker and seconder of the motion, it was noted that the motion did not include variations for Court Street. Mr. Bonar noted that there were no residents of Court Street who spoke either in favor of or against the renaming of the streets. He stated his support for honoring Dr. King and that the naming of a street had good intent and that renaming Court Street to Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard was a fine gesture; however, he felt that the land located at the corner of North Street and Governors Avenue should be devoted as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. It was his feeling that by utilizing a park area, a diorama could be included about Dr. King (what he went through and what he taught everyone in terms of civil rights), which would educate future generations more than simply riding on a street named in honor of Dr. King. He commended Mr. Perza for submitting a compromise on the street selected for renaming in honor of Dr. King. Referring to a statement made by Mr. Daisey, Mr. Hare stated that he agreed that as the capital of First State, it was important that Dr. King be included in the City of Dover’s history. He stated that he supported the renaming of Court Street in honor of Dr. King, particularly since it serves as a gateway to Legislative Hall and the legislative part of the capital city. However, the names provided for the Duke of York and William Penn Streets also represented the City’s history. Quoting Dr. King, Mr. Hare stated that “the process needs to be as pure as the results.” It was his feeling that if the results eliminate a significant part of Delaware’s history, then the results are not as pure as the process. He reiterated his support for the renaming of Court Street; however, he explained that he would not support the renaming of the Duke of York or William Penn Streets. Mr. Hutchison relayed appreciation to all those who participated in the process. He reminded members that Dr. King gave his life for all peoples and this is a better place today because of his efforts. He noted that there is only one (1) street in the State of Delaware that is the home of the

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 13 State Capital and that is Court Street, which leads up to Legislative Hall and represents the most powerful building and serves as the home of the General Assembly, Governor, and Lt. Governor, and where laws are passed for all residents. Mr. Anderson indicated his hope that tonight, City Council would conclude the process for renaming the streets in honor of Dr. King. He felt that approval of the motion would take into consideration real people and protect them from being impacted negatively and that the impact in the community would be extraordinarily positive. Referring to the public testimony, he noted that members heard an overwhelming and united sentiment regarding this issue. He stated his willingness to consider taking action for William Penn, due to his historical significance. In addition to the proposal, he stated the importance of including part of the legislative park, at least one (1) of the streets, since there was momentum not just to name a street but to continue to build upon that legacy, and he suggested possible memorials in the future. It was Mr. Anderson’s opinion that members should also approve markers in the Legislative Mall area to recognize Duke of York and William Penn so that history is not taken away but only added to the City. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig felt that it would be possible to have the new street signs in place by January 15th; however, he reminded members that City staff would need to work with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) in making these changes. He stated that the historical markers would take longer to complete. Mr. Anderson suggested that the changes be completed by January 21st - on Martin Luther King Day. Mr. Lynn moved to amend the motion so that the dedication could take place on January 21, 2013, the day the nation celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, seconded by Mr. Anderson. Council President Leary felt that the proposal was more than just renaming a street. Having recently spoken during the service for the late Councilwoman Russell, he was reminded of how blessed we are to be living in the world of today. It was his feeling that renaming the street was the least City Council could do to commemorate a great man and a great movement. On a call for the question, the motion to approve changing the name of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard; also including the renaming the internal drive isle within the Garden Court Apartments as Court Street and also including retaining the name Court Street for the alley street segment on the south side of the current Court Street between River Road and Cowgill Street; and that plaques and/or other demarcations identify the streets formally known as Duke of York and William Penn Streets and that the dedication take place on January 21, 2013, on the day the nation celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, was carried by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes (Anderson, Dixon, Lynn, Perza, Bonar, Hutchison, and Leary), one (1) no (Hare) and one (1) absent (Williams). There being no objections, Council President Leary declared a five (5) minute recess. Meeting recessed at 9:05 p.m. and reconvened at 9:16 p.m.

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 14 Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, referred to Staff Recommendation #3 and questioned if the motion included renaming the streets appropriately as north and south. Mr. Bonar moved to rename Duke of York Street as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard North and William Penn Street as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard South, seconded by Mr. Perza and unanimously carried. Mr. Perza commended the leadership of the “alliance,” the many, many reverends that were responsible for keeping this dream of theirs alive. He also recognized Councilman Lynn, noting that although they are political opposites, they have shared the support of honoring Dr. King, and relayed appreciation for his willingness to meet with the community and his leadership in bringing this matter forward. BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS EXEMPTION REPORT - OCTOBER 25, 2012 The Board of Assessment Appeals Committee met on October 25, 2012, with Chairman Garfield presiding. Exemptions 1. B. 1. Friends of the Capitol Theater, Inc. Location: 226 S. State Street – ED05-077.09-04-22.00 Background and Analysis An appeal form was submitted to the Assessor's Office. This property was recently added to the taxable property in July 2011. In 2000, this property was approved for a10 year property tax abatement under the Dover Downtown Development Incentives. Property taxes have been paid for 2011 & 2012. Exemption Request (2012 & future billings) $2,023,500 Representing the Friends of the Capitol Theater were the following: Connie Welde Dr. William Johnston Sylvia Cowell Sandra Conner Kim Ritter Amir Mohammadi Vita Pickrum

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 15 Ms. Cowell explained to the board how important the organization is to the City of Dover and its surrounding area. She told the board that the Theater had been exempt from taxes for the past 10 years and would like to be exempt from property taxes for another 10 years. Mr. Mohammadi expressed concern about the troubling economy. He explained that when the economy is in decline, so are the ticket sales for the art center. Mr. Mohammadi told the board that the expenses for the center are currently going up while the revenue is going down. Ms. Ritter went over the program which was handed out to the board members. Mr. Burns asked the board members if the Theater had the 501(c)3 status. The members explained that the theater does have the exempt status which is consistent with Wesley College and Delaware State University. Mr. Burns asked if the organization was also exempt from taxes with the county. Mrs. Welde explained that due to the fact that the organization did not have the exempt status before the year 1987, they do not qualify for the exemption with the county. She told the board about a law that kept them from automatically getting the exemption. The organization is in the process of appealing this decision. Chairman Garfinkel wanted to make sure that everybody present knew that the purpose of the Board of Assessment Appeals was to make sure the organization falls under the requirement needed to qualify for the exemption. The Assessor wanted to clarify that the tax exemption the Theater had previously was due to a 10 year Tax Abatement, which is a program the city offers to property owners who purchase property in the Downtown Dover Area. Renovations made to the property are not taxed for 10 years while in this program. This 10 year period had just come to a close. Mr. Burns asked how the art center falls within the already exempt properties within the city, such as churches, colleges, museums, or for example the Dover Art League. He wanted to make sure the board would be consistent if they decide to grant the exemption. The Assessor explained that schools and colleges are state owned and therefore are exempt. She gave examples of other organizations which are tax exempt. Mr. Burns asked the Treasurer Mrs. Welde if the theater is able to sustain itself. Mrs. Welde explained that they are applying for grants and sponsorships which help sustain events. She told the Board that Wesley College and Delaware State University contribute on a monthly basis as well. Mrs. Welde told Mr. Burns that they are sustaining, but a lot of this is based on the contribution made by the Colleges.

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 16 Chairman Garfinkel asked how many board members the organization had and if this was in compliance with the bylaws of the organization. He was told that there were in all, 9 members. 3 of which were associated with Delaware State University and 3 were associated with Wesley College. The board members explained that both of these colleges help financially in keeping the doors of the theater open. When asked about the rental of the room in the Theater, the applicants present, explained that while they do have rooms for rent, the income made is used to fund expenses of the Theater. They also let area schools use the rooms. Mr. Burns was concerned that in the future the theater could start making a profit on the rental of their rooms and ticket sales and would no longer qualify for the exemption. He was wondering if there were checks and balances in place to ensure the organization still falls within the requirements of the exempt qualifications. The Assessor explained that the city can request current 501(c)3 paperwork at any time to ensure the organization still falls under the exempt status. The committee recommended honoring the request for exemption but with the stipulation that the City would request proof of the 501(c)3 status periodically. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). A copy of the by-laws for this organization had been requested by the board members. After reviewing these by-laws, the members of the board felt that their decision to approve the request for exemption was consistent with other exempt properties within the city. 1. C.1. Rector Wardens & Vestryman of Christ Episcopal Church Location: 509 S State St. – ED05-077.09-05-45.00 Background and Analysis An appeal form was submitted to the Assessor's Office. This property was purchased by the church in April 2012. At this time, the building is vacant. Exemption Request (2012 & future billings) $125,100

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 17 Rector Weaver was present for the hearing. He told the board that the church purchased the property in April of 2012 and was planning to demolish the home on the property due to the fact that it is an eyesore and unsafe. The church is not planning on building anything on this property and therefore has no plans for this property. Mr. Burns wanted to make sure that the church has no plans to use the building in the future and that the church is actively pursuing the demolition permit. Rector Weaver assured Mr. Burns that the home located on the property is unsafe and needs to be demolished. Chairman Garfinkel asked if Rector Weaver had anything else to add, when Rector Weaver explained to the board that the church is tax exempt and that all of the properties owned by the church are used for the purpose of the church. Chairman Garfinkel asked the Assessor if she had anything to add. Ms. Russell explained to the board that all the properties adjoined to the properties, which are owned by the church, are exempt from taxes. Mr. Burns told the board that he is familiar with the property and agrees with Rector Weaver, that the building was in bad shape. Chairman Garfinkel explained that the state laws require the entity to use the property for their mission and based on what had been told the property would not be used for church purposes. Rector Weaver requested the application to be withdrawn which would give him time to prepare for the hearing. The Committee recommended acceptance of the withdrawal made by Rector Weaver. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Board of Assessment Appeals Exemption Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - DECEMBER 10, 2012 Except for the following time sensitive issue, the Utility Committee Report from December 10, 2012 will be presented to Council during their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013 for Council’s review and consideration.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 18 Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, introduced Mr. Patrick McCullar, President and Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Kimberly Schlichting, Vice President - Administration, both of whom were representing the Delaware Municipal Electric Cooperative (DEMEC). Mr. Koenig advised members that the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a state-mandated policy that obligates each retail seller of electricity to include in its resource portfolio annually increasing amounts of electricity from Qualifying Renewable Energy Resources through 2025, when it will reach the goal of 25% with at least 3% from solar renewable resources. Qualifying Renewable Energy Resources include solar electric, wind, ocean tidal, ocean thermal, fuel cells powered by renewable fuels, hydroelectric facilities with a maximum capacity of 30 megawatts (MW), sustainable biomass, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas. Prior to 2010, municipal electric utilities were exempted from the RPS requirements. In 2010, the Delaware RPS was revised under Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill 119 to require all utilities to participate, including municipal utilities, but allowing municipal electric companies to exempt themselves provided that they develop and implement a program comparable to the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards for ratepayers beginning in the 2013 Compliance Year (June 1, 2013 thru May 31, 2014). There was no clear standard for a “comparable plan,” but the statute imposes an “alternative compensation payment” of $25 per megawatt-hour for non-compliance in the first year, increasing to $80 per megawatt-hour by the third year, which must be passed to consumers. For the 2013 planning year, Dover must purchase 10% of its calculated load from qualified renewable resources, including 0.6% from solar photovoltaic resources, to comply with the statute. Mr. Koenig noted that DEMEC’s draft proposal encourages qualifying renewable energy resources and provides for a five (5) year planning cycle and annual and monthly compliance reconciliation for DEMEC members. DEMEC also has entered into contracts with qualifying renewable resources that will ensure compliance for its members for five (5) years, but only through planning year 2015. He stated that compliance based upon consumption would be complicated (i.e. industrial customers with loads in excess of 1,500 kWh may apply for exemption, but they must apply, it is not assumed; surplus solar capacity and facilities with Delaware-made equipment receive a multiplier, and compliance is suspended if costs increase by 3% (1% for solar)). DEMEC’s proposal would free Dover from the process of submitting its own plan. Mr. Koenig informed members that DEMEC provides full requirements service to its members, making compliance with RPS an integral part of the services. Although Dover is a member of DEMEC, it does not have the same financial obligations as the other members. Consequently, it would be necessary for Dover to enter into additional agreements with DEMEC concerning the scope of services, planning obligations, acquisition responsibility when DEMEC acquires qualified renewable resources, and compensation to DEMEC for the term of the renewable resource contract. These and other terms would be negotiated in the months ahead. Mr. Koenig indicated that this request for action was limited solely to the joint filing of a plan. Mr. Koenig indicated that the City evaluated whether to file a separate compliance plan or to join with DEMEC. He advised members that, on the assumption that the RPS and the “circuit breaker” to protect against higher costs would remain in effect, conversations with The Energy Authority (TEA), DEMEC, and Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s Utility Attorney, led staff to conclude that the City

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 19 of Dover should join in DEMEC’s proposed RPS Plan as outlined in the Municipal Electric Utilities Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. Staff recommended that the City join the DEMEC Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. Mr. McCullar stated that he was present to discuss the RPS plan and the possibility of DEMEC acting as agent for the City of Dover in the implementation of the filing and compliance with the plan. He complimented Mr. Koenig on his summary of the plan and noted one (1) correction, advising members that municipal plans do not have a non-compliance penalty payment. He explained that DEMEC was given flexibility by the General Assembly to design plans and this was being done with the goal of having a plan that is fairly comparable to the plan mandated for Delmarva Power. Mr. McCullar noted that the plan would seek to minimize the impact on DEMEC’s rate payers and to stay below the circuit breakers that are built into the legislation defining RPS (1% cost of retail sales on an annual basis for solar and 3% for non-solar, such as wind and other renewables). He indicated that the plan distributed to the local regulatory authorities (municipalities) must be adopted by the local regulatory authority, and filed with the General Assembly and the Delaware Energy Office. From that point, there is an obligation to meet the compliance targets which are determined on an annual basis as a percentage of retail electric sales; for example, if a set amount of kWh is generated in a year, a schedule determines the percentage of those kWh’s that must come from Qualifying Renewable Energy Resources, and there is a subset of solar renewable energy portfolio units. Mr. McCullar advised members that a five (5) year time frame was chosen for DEMEC’s compliance plan because this is the duration of the State energy plan and also because it was felt that conditions in the electric industry and the persuasions of the General Assembly may change, causing modifications to the RPS law. He noted that DEMEC would be responsible for the compliance obligation for the other eight (8) municipal electric utilities involved. He indicated that the plan was designed in anticipation that the City of Dover would approach DEMEC to be its agent and DEMEC was prepared to do so. Mr. McCullar noted that DEMEC currently had a partial requirements agreement with the City of Dover for certain activities and that amendments would have to be made to define the responsibilities and payment obligations, should DEMEC (as the agent for Dover and the other eight (8) municipal electric utilities) acquire renewable energy resources or build them to create a supply that meets compliance obligations. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. McCullar stated that DEMEC’s contract with the City would extend through 2025, since it was known that there was an absolute compliance obligation that 25% of DEMEC’s energy resources come from renewables at that time. Decisions would be made in five (5) year increments regarding what “the curve would look like” to meet the 25%. If the DEMEC Board of Directors (including Mr. Koenig) were to decide that a project must be built or a contract for output from a particular project to meet the compliance obligation in 2025 was necessary, an agreement would be put in place that would allow the City of Dover to participate in that economic project and have part of their compliance obligation met. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. McCullar reassured members that Mr. Koenig would be a voting member of the DEMEC Board of Directors. He stated that no legislative approval would be needed to amend the original plan if the City were to enter into the agreement with DEMEC. He explained that the municipal plans are viewed as nine (9) separate plans, since the legislation requires that each local regulatory authority have a plan; however, the DEMEC Board agreed that the best approach

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 20 for all concerned was to have a unified plan with nine (9) separate reporting categories. He noted that the composition of the electric customer base is different in each community. Mr. McCullar indicated that industrial customers with a 1,500 KW demand can exempt themselves. He stated that regulations had very recently been changed to state that industrial customers are automatically exempt and need not apply. Mr. McCullar noted that DEMEC would advise each community of its annual sales and the percentage of these sales that come from qualifying industrial customers, and this would be subtracted from their obligation. He informed members that the City of Dover has quite a few qualifying customers (as does Newark); however, the Towns of Clayton and Smyrna have very few; therefore, a higher percentage of their total sales would be subject to compliance. As the annual compliance reporting is performed, DEMEC would make calculations to determine the actual year-to-year obligations and show how this was met with qualifying resources. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. McCullar confirmed that DEMEC would be responsible if they were unable to meet the specified goals; however, he noted that “there is very little in the plan” that allows for a penalty and that new legislation would have to be passed to impose a penalty on DEMEC. Noting that the City’s solar plan ran “full bore,” generating 3% of the City’s electric supply during the previous summer, Mr. Snaman inquired about sources of renewable energy other than wind and solar. Responding, Mr. McCullar noted that there was a variety of sources, including geothermal, heated water solar, tidal, and small hydro energy, and that wind produces the most efficiency. DEMEC had a contract for wind energy for a project proposed by Bluewater Wind; however, this facility was never built. Mr. McCullar noted that DEMEC worked closely with the University of Delaware and that Professor Willett Kempton, from the University, performed a number of studies on wind resources in Delaware and discovered that there was not enough efficiency in wind resources to build wind farms in the State. He advised members that one (1) windmill was running in Lewes (a University of Delaware project) and, although it receives the benefit of offshore winds, its efficiency is “not too great.” He explained that DEMEC recently had Duke Energy build a 69 MW commercial wind farm operation on top of a mountain ridge in north central Pennsylvania where there was very good wind efficiency and DEMEC will receive 100% of the energy from this facility, which will serve the organization’s non-solar renewable energy credit compliance for quite a few years into the future. In response to Mr. Snaman regarding plans for other renewable energy projects, Mr. Koenig explained that the City was being approached by various solar developers (at least two (2) specifically) and stated that the Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan must be put in place before additional solar construction was considered. He noted that this was likely to come up in the future. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. McCullar stated that natural gas did not qualify as renewable energy. He indicated that the General Assembly allowed for a fuel cell powered by natural gas and that carbon-based resources would not qualify. Mr. McCullar stated that DEMEC’s plan as the administrator would be to identify the most economic and efficient projects that can be put in with the goal of creating the least burden possible on rate payers while maintaining compliance.

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 21 The Committee recommended that the City join the Delaware Municipal Energy Cooperative (DEMEC) Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan, as recommended by staff. During the Council Meeting, at the request of Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig briefed members regarding this matter. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Anderson stated his opinion that the RPS mandates that have been opposed were wrong. He stated that the idea that 25% of the State’s energy is going to come from renewable sources was a fantasy. He explained that this idea would not come to fruition unless there was rationing and cost rationing. He felt that the State should come to reality and noted that the RPS were already costing the rate payers of the State a great deal of money and that Delaware has some of the highest electric rates in the country due to these mandates that were wrong. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that he was not aware of any statutory financial impact should the City elect not to join the Delaware Municipal Energy Cooperative Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. However, he stated that the City was required to file a plan with the State Energy Office and that staff had elected to do so by joining the Delaware Municipal Energy Cooperative Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan since it would put all the State’s municipalities on the same level “playing field.” Although he understood the objections and concerns regarding the RPS, he reminded members that it was currently the law. He felt that the City could make rational arguments to amend the law but, at this time, the City needed to abide by the current law as written. Mr. Koenig assured members that approval of the Committee’s recommendation would put the City in compliance with the law. He also indicated that the Governor’s Office had been very clear that the municipal electric rates were a concern. Concurring with Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bonar stated that this particular action would put the City in line with the rules and regulations mandated by the legislature. He felt that although the City may not have financial repercussions at the present time, if the City did not join the other municipalities and file along with DEMEC according to the standards, the legislators could, at a later date, decide to enact penalties that may have an adverse impact on the City in general. Mr. Anderson stated that although there may be a rational basis to approve the recommendation, he also believes there was a rational basis for sending a message, even a temporary one, in hopes that the legislators would “wake up.” In response to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the law requires the municipality to show that a plan has been filed and approved by the municipality’s governing body. She stated that if City Council approved the Committee’s recommendation, the City would have met the law. The Plan had been prepared to meet the standards and had been prepared on behalf of all utilities. She also indicated that action to meet the law must be accomplished by January 1, 2013.

Page 25

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 22 On a call for the question by Mr. Hare, the motion to approve the Committee’s recommendation for acceptance of staff's recommendation that the City join the Delaware Municipal Energy Cooperative (DEMEC) Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan was carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Dixon, Lynn, Bonar, Hare, Hutchison, and Leary), two (2) no (Anderson and Perza), and one (1) absent (Williams). MONTHLY REPORTS - OCTOBER 2012 By motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Hutchison, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: Budget City Assessor City Manager City Planner Dover Fire Department Economic Development Office EVALUATION OF BIDS - ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City of Dover Electric Department was continuously working on various electric system upgrades which include future capacity and future growth projects. These projects require numerous hours of engineering design, as well as value engineering and estimating. Earlier this year, staff solicited Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) to provide electrical engineering services on a project by project (on-call) basis. Seven (7) submissions were received, reviewed, and analyzed by City staff. After careful review, staff felt that both Pike Energy Solutions and Power Consulting Engineers (PCE) had all of the necessary experience and staff to perform any of the requested work without using sub-consultants. In light of the number of projects to be undertaken in the Capital Investment Plan (CIP), staff felt it would be in the City’s best interest to award a contract to both firms. Mr. Koenig indicated that this would allow the Electric Department the flexibility to choose one (1) of the firms based on their availability, expertise, and workload on a project by project basis. The total cost over the term of each contract would likely exceed $25,000; however, the costs would be reflected in the appropriate project budget or line item. He assured members that all awards under this contract that exceed $25,000 would be brought back to City Council for award on the individual project basis. Staff recommended awarding a three (3) year contract with two (2) one (1) year extensions to Pike Energy Solutions, LLC and Power Consulting Engineers (PCE) per their rate sheets included in the referenced RFQ. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that approval of the recommendation would essentially award two (2) separate contracts; however, he reiterated that all awards under the contracts that exceed $25,000 would be brought back for Council’s review and approval.

Page 26

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 23 Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). EVALUATION OF BIDS - WESLEY COLLEGE STREETSCAPE ENHANCEMENT, PHASE I Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that Wesley College had requested a new parking lot on their campus, located on 22, 28 and 34 South State Street. The new parking lot would also include demolition of an existing accessory building, storm sewer installation, and curb installation. An easement was dedicated to the property for public use of the parking lot, thus allowing use of Community Transportation Funds (CTF). However, he noted that certain improvements within the project fall outside of the easement area. This portion of the work would be paid for by the City of Dover with reimbursement by Wesley College. The City was in receipt of a letter dated July 25, 2012 from Dr. Johnston indicating that Wesley College would reimburse the City. Mr. Koenig stated that the total amount anticipated to be reimbursed is $4,083.98. The Department of Public Works created bid documents and worked with the CTF Division of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to acquire the proper funding from local legislators to fund this project. Staff recommended approval of the low bid submitted by Corrado Construction Co., in the amount of $96,976.57. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). APPOINTMENTS RECOMMENDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT LEARY Council President Leary requested approval of the following appointments: Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee - Terms to Expire May 2013 David L.

Mr. Bonar moved for adoption of Ordinance #2012-23 (Exhibit #2), seconded by Mr. Dixon and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). COUNCIL MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Carey congratulated Councilman Dixon on his recent election to serve as a Fourth District Councilman. He also relayed appreciation for the work done by everyone on the renaming of streets to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Mayor Carey wished all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season. Mr. Perza advised members that he traveled around the City in the evening to enjoy the holiday displays and was very impressed with those located on Oak Drive, Yearsley Avenue, South Bradford Street, and Lotus Street (all located within the Second District). Mr. Hare noted the difficulty getting across streets while traveling through the City on Loockerman Street due to those who are attempting to make left-hand turns onto Governors Avenue, etc. He suggested that this matter be referred to the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee to consider the possibility of prohibiting left-hand turns during certain time periods. Council President Leary reminded everyone that the next regularly scheduled Council Meeting would be held on January 14, 2013; however, he noted that a Council Workshop had been scheduled to be held on January 7, 2013 to discuss financial issues. Council President Leary wished all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and suggested that they enjoy the season with their family and friends.

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Meeting was held on December 10, 2012, at 12:00 p.m. with Acting Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Horsey. Mr. Lewis was absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was accepted as presented. Presentation - Economic Development Programs and Opportunities Available for the City of Dover by Dr. Michael Casson, Director, University Center for Economic Development and International Trade; Associate Professor of Economics; Dean, School of Graduate Studies and Research, Delaware State University Dr. Michael Casson, Delaware State University (DSU), acknowledged the recent passing of Councilwoman Sophia Russell, noting that Mrs. Russell was a close friend, a tireless activist for the City of Dover, and that she was missed by all. Dr. Casson advised members that he grew up in the Dover area and the benefit of this community was close to his heart. He expressed his pleasure at the economic progress made in the City to date and his excitement to be part of its future. He explained that the DSU Center for Economic Development and International Trade (UCEDIT) has been funded for five (5) years through the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development with the goal of supporting economic development initiatives throughout the State, and specifically in Kent and Sussex Counties. He noted that he was happy to be working with Mr. Bill Neaton, City of Dover Economic Development Director, and stated that Mr. Neaton had put forth some very good ideas and helped the City to make great strides. Dr. Casson reviewed a presentation entitled “Economic Development Strategies for the City of Dover.” Referring to Strategy 2: Business Development, Mr. Anderson stated that the Delaware Department of Labor (DOL) offers programs that pay the equivalent of unemployment to individuals who have been laid off or who want to start a business, such as contracting, which provides a basis for business start up. Noting that DSU has an excellent Small Business Development Center on campus, he inquired if DSU could coordinate with the DOL to make DOL program participants aware of the expertise available through the Small Business Development Center and other programs offered. Responding, Dr. Casson stated the coordination of enterprises and support services is very important if UCEDIT and Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO) programs are to achieve the greatest impact for the City of Dover. He stated the possibility of tying “Pop-Up” projects to tax incentive and business incubation opportunities. Clarifying, Mr. Neaton explained that Project Pop-Up is a DEDO initiative whereby landlords agree to provide three (3) months of free leasing and DEDO supplies approximately $500 toward interior renovations if needed. The goal is to allow businesses to get started with virtually no cost so that empty and vacant buildings will be filled.

Page 43

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Bonar regarding participants in the City, Mr. Neaton advised members that three (3) potential Pop-Up projects for the City were approved through DEDO and staff is currently working with one (1) applicant (associated lease negotiations took place earlier that morning). The other two (2) opted not to participate. He noted that the program would end on December 31, 2012; however, it may continue if successful. Mr. Neaton explained that a monthly meeting called “Kent is Open for Business” is held at Kent County Levy Court, and agencies such as the SCORE Foundation, (previously known as the Service Core of Retired Executives; now recognized as “Counselors to America’s Small Business”) Small Business Administration, DSU, Delaware Technical and Community College (DT&CC), the Downtown Dover Partnership, the City’s Economic Development Office, and the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce all participate to assist fledgling businesses get started. He noted that during this group’s meeting held the previous week, it was decided to enhance the focus to concentrate on businesses that wish to expand and to expand marketing of Kent is Open for Business. Mr. Neaton stated that the operation has been successful and the group had counseled 200 businesses. Dr. Casson stated that if programs such as the Pop-Up Project or the Blue Collar Project (which provides customized training for businesses) are coordinated with small business assistance, this optimizes the chance for success and the City can bring about higher yields by taking advantage of support services from DEDO and DSU, as well as interregional cooperation with the County. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Dr. Casson stated that he was unaware of funding opportunities that would allow representatives from the City to travel to other areas to solicit business; however, he indicated that he would research possible funding. Mr. Neaton noted that travel would become more important when the infrastructure at the Garrison Tract was completed and it becomes a certified “shovel-ready” site. Referring to Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Mr. Anderson inquired if this approach had been utilized in Delaware and if measures should be sought through the General Assembly to make this opportunity more viable in Delaware. Responding, Dr. Casson stated that a study must first be performed to determine which district would be identified as a TIF area and a structure could then be devised. Mr. Bonar noted that TIF, Payment-in-Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), and projects that require inkind contributions all cost money and that a method of repaying funds would have to be established. He indicated that there may be other creative approaches and expressed his hope that the Committee would be supportive of them. Mr. Anderson noted that TIF would be favorable in some respects because it sets aside financing. For example, he noted that if the runway at the Civil Air Terminal were upgraded to allow cargo, the additional revenue realized could be used to pay off financing. Mr. Bonar advised members that he and Mr. Anderson attended a seminar at the National League of Cities Conference in November 2012 which addressed the importance of strategizing and sustaining economic development. He felt that it was important that the City not “pull its head in like a turtle”and stagnate, but make efforts to continue to sell the City.

Page 44

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 3 Concurring, Dr. Casson stated that businesses can only cut costs so much and must continue to think “top line growth” and consider new initiatives. Mr. Anderson indicated that he was pleased to see local use of tax incentive programs such as the Rehabilitation Tax Credit (RTC) program, which was recently used for a project undertaken by Mr. Henry Mast. He advised members that there are entire markets, such as the Washington, DC area, where businesses in redeveloping areas sell tax credits to obtain more favorable financing. He expressed his hope that over the next year a competitive strategy could be developed to utilize this 4% incentive and suggested that the City partner with DSU to build data to begin seeking competitive grants. Concurring, Dr. Casson stated that he was working with Mr. Neaton on a report to target techniques to market the Garrison Tract utilizing North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) data. Mr. Anderson expressed his concern about economic inclusion being part of the economic development strategy. He felt that there were insufficient government funds to rebuild neighborhoods; therefore, individuals would have to rebuild and improve their living situation themselves. He noted that this could only be accomplished if income earned was greater than minimum wage. He questioned how this could be incorporated in an economic development strategy so that, as the City starts to turn around, “all the boats would be lifted.” Dr. Casson stated that education must be attacked concurrently because turning the City around would be dependent on the education and skill of its citizens, since this affects the attraction of potential businesses. For this reason, DSU was communicating with DT&CC, the University of Delaware, and Wesley College regarding workforce development classes. Mr. Anderson noted that Chesapeake College in Maryland has a program that allows individuals to get an accredited high school diploma. As a private school, this college can set its own qualifications and participants are not required to meet the two (2) year foreign language requirement which the State of Delaware was now “pushing.” Mr. Anderson felt that this requirement was a barrier for individuals who wish to obtain Graduation Equivalency Degrees (GEDs). He suggested, since DSU was planning to support high schools with the opening of a new magnet school, that a private adult evening high school program (that would not have to comply with the two (2) year foreign language requirement) could be considered. Dr. Casson indicated that this matter could be discussed by all parties as plans and strategies are developed. Responding to Mrs. Horsey regarding “grandfathering” provisions related to the foreign language requirement, Mr. Anderson stated that individuals who are currently in the GED program are exempt from the requirement and that those who are interested in obtaining GED certificates are being encouraged to sign on to the program this year to avoid this intimidating barrier. Referring to Strategy 6: Land Supply, Dr. Casson stated that he and Mr. Neaton had discussed the size of the parcels in the Garrison Tract and were examining which industries were yielding high-paying jobs and larger parcels. He noted this was important because it would correlate directly

Page 45

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 4 with the types of jobs that would be developed. He noted that the City had done a good job in moving the Garrison Tract forward and assembling land parcels and that an accurate land inventory was also needed. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the potential economic impact of DSU’s new neuroscience program, Dr. Casson explained that UCEDIT hoped to determine how DSU’s research agenda could be tied to the development efforts in the City of Dover and Kent and Sussex Counties. Mr. Anderson requested that Dr. Casson coordinate and keep the City informed of what it could do as part of this effort. He noted that the City of Newark lost opportunities to coordinate in a similar fashion with the University of Delaware and expressed his wish to avoid this. Mr. Bonar indicated his appreciation for the presentation and stated his view that the City should engage more with DSU and in economic development in general. He stated the importance of determining how research and development businesses could be brought to the Garrison Tract and enhance the projects that are already planned there, as well as locating land to attract this type of businesses for future endeavors. Mr. Bonar felt that a Civic Center and minor sports league teams should have been brought to Dover many years ago as they would attract businesses in Dover and Kent County. He stated that these enterprises would be expensive and require partnership and that DSU and the University of Delaware could collaborate with the City in these efforts. Mr. Neaton stated that a meeting was scheduled in the boardroom at DSU at 10:00 a.m. on the following day to discuss these issues. Mr. Anderson expressed his hope that a 15-minute version of Dr. Casson’s presentation could be placed on the City Council agenda within the next month or two (2). Concurring, Mr. Bonar stated that he would present this matter at the next Council President’s agenda meeting. Mr. Neaton advised members that Dr. Casson had provided the start of an economic and market feasibility analysis for the Garrison Tract and, at Councilman Bonar’s request, agreed to send this analysis to all Committee members. (City Clerk’s Office Note: This analysis was emailed to all members of Council and the Committee by Mr. Neaton on December 12, 2012.) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan Amendment Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, advised members that expenditure of FY 2011 CDBG funding previously allocated for a chair lift in City Council Chambers had been postponed to allow the City to evaluate other alternatives for providing American Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant access to City Council Chambers. She explained that delay of this project could cause problems in meeting the timeliness standard for expending CDBG funds (April 30, 2013). Mrs. Harvey indicated that 65% of the City’s FY 2012 Homeownership Assistance Program funding had been expended; however, three (3) families were currently mortgage ready, shopping for homes, and would need settlement assistance in order to purchase homes in the City of Dover. If funding were reallocated to this program, it was expected that funds would be expended within the next 60 days.

Page 46

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 5 Staff recommended that $20,000 in FY 2011 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding be reallocated from American Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements in Council Chambers to the FY 2012 Homeownership Assistance Program. In response to Mr. Bonar regarding the impact of removing the $20,000 that was originally allocated for improvements to Council Chambers, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that staff had obtained a quote of approximately $16,000 - $17,000 to install a chairlift in the Chambers; however, this could potentially change the floor configuration. He explained that a general discussion regarding City facilities, including City Hall, the former library, and the building at 5 East Reed Street, was planned for the Council Financial Workshop scheduled for January 7, 2013. Mr. Koenig stated that if consideration amounts to only a broad discussion at that time, staff would return to the Committee to request money to modify Council Chambers. However, he noted that staff recommended moving the funds to the Homeownership Assistance Program at this time due to the need to comply with CDBG timeliness requirements. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend acceptance of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Horsey. Mr. Anderson noted that when CDBG grants were allocated, members were in favor of allocating more funds to home repairs and questioned why the full $20,000 was being allocated to homeownership. Mrs. Harvey explained that the Housing Rehabilitation Program formerly managed by the City was transferred to the Milford Housing Development Corporation (MHDC) and $60,000 was allocated to this program. However, MHCD was experiencing difficulty qualifying applicants on their waiting list and it was not expected that the organization’s CDBG funding would be expended until later in the year. Staff believed that this funding could be spent more expeditiously through the Homeownership Assistance Program, which has a waiting list of people who are mortgage ready. On a call for the question, the motion to recommend acceptance of staff’s recommendation to reallocate $20,000 in FY 2011 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from American Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements in Council Chambers to the FY 2012 Homeownership Assistance Program was unanimously carried (Lewis absent). UPDATES CDBG Program Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Planner I, advised members that Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) contracts were signed in October, projects were currently underway, and grantees had begun to expend funds. In regard to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), she stated that nine (9) homes (one (1) of which was a rental) had been sold and the remaining home was occupied through a lease/purchase agreement. Mrs. Harvey explained that since additional program income

Page 47

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 6 remained in the NSP program, funding would be reallocated for an NSP program to provide additional down payment assistance for qualified applicants to receive up to $20,000 toward the purchase of an abandoned or vacant property located in the City of Dover. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Harvey explained the applicant income is restricted to 120% of the area median income and this figure is based on family size and income. Schutte Park Space - Boys and Girls Club/CDSA Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the Boys and Girls Club plans to enter into an agreement with Kent County for a location off New Burton Road. He stated his belief that a legal agreement had been developed but was unsure if it had been signed. In the interest of public disclosure, Mr. Bonar stated that he serves on the fundraising organization for that group and acknowledged that a signed agreement was imminent. Mr. Koenig stated that once the agreement was signed, this item would be removed from future Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee agendas. In recent weeks, the County held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Kent Sports Center and he believed that the Central Delaware Soccer Association (CDSA) may move programming to that location; however, no official word had been received. He speculated that if this occurs, additional space may become available at Schutte Park at some point. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Enhancement, stated her understanding that CDSA planned to move their travel league to the new Sports Center, which would allow them to move the recreational program from Schutte Park to the Lewis Road site. She indicated that a girls’ lacrosse league had expressed interest in using one of the three (3) field areas at Schutte Park on Saturdays in the spring; the other two (2) areas were available and two (2) will be available for CDSA; however, they have not made contact to reserve them. In response to Mr. Bonar regarding the financial implications of CDSA’s move, Mr. Koenig stated that a great deal of revenue was not involved and the change may actually prove beneficial. Concurring, Mrs. Townshend stated that it has been difficult to accommodate other interested parties since CDSA utilized the fields all day long every Saturday and staff felt that the loss in soccer revenue could result in a gain in lacrosse revenue. She indicated that the recreational staff was also considering starting a City recreational soccer league to service City residents without transportation if CDSA moves out of the City. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 1:04 p.m. David L. Bonar Acting Chairman DLB/TM/js/mk/dd S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS\Committee-Minutes\2012\12-10-2012 PR&CE.wpd

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on December 10, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza (arrived at 5:16 p.m.), Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Mrs. Williams was absent. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 5:17 p.m.), Mr. Hutchison, and Council President Leary. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Capital School District Impact Fee Transfer Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the Public Works Department and the Planning Department had been working with the Capital School District for a number of months on their Facilities Master Plan. He explained that the Capital School District recently constructed a new campus at 194/198 Commerce Way in Dover (Tax Parcel ED05-076.14-01-07.03). Within the campus, the Office of Technology/Maintenance Facility building is located at 194 Commerce Way and the Administration and Professional Development Center building is located at 198 Commerce Way. These facilities were formerly located on multiple properties owned by the District and have been consolidated on this property. Mr. Koenig noted that in both the water impact fee and the sewer impact fee ordinances, there is language that allows (with Council approval) the transfer of impact fees from properties where facilities have been demolished to properties where facilities are being constructed or expanded. Construction of these new facilities allowed for demolition of existing structures on the subject site as well as the previous maintenance building, administration building, and trailers at 211 Delaware Avenue (Tax Parcel ED05-068.17-03-66.00), 945 Forest Street (Tax Parcel #ED05-076.07-01-65.00), and 75 Carver Road (Tax Parcel #ED05-076.07-01-55.00), respectively. The Capital School District submitted a letter, dated November 9, 2012, requesting the transference of thirteen (13) Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) credits from the three (3) previously referenced off-site locations to the new campus on Commerce Way. Mr. Koenig advised members that, per the City of Dover Code of Ordinances, two (2) references are applicable to this request. The first code reference, located in Chapter 110, Article III – Water Service, Division 3 – Water Impact Fees, Section 110-208 (d), states “No EDUs shall be transferred from one property to another property, whether or not such properties are owned by the same person, without the approval of city council.” The second code reference, located in Chapter 110, Article IV – Wastewater Service, Division 3 – Wastewater Impact Fees, Section 110-283 (c), states “No EDUs shall be transferred from one property to another property, whether or not such properties are owned by the same person, without the approval of city council.” Mr. Koenig stated that City staff reviewed the request and found the information consistent with the calculations provided by the Department of Public Works on November 5, 2012. Staff found the request reasonable and recommended the transference of thirteen (13) EDU credits from 211 Delaware Avenue, 945 Forest Street, and 75 Carver Road to the Capital School District Administration and Professional Development Center campus located at 194/198 Commerce Way (Tax Parcel #ED05-076.14-01-07.03). He noted that any redevelopment and/or expansion at the

Page 49

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 2 three (3) locations generating the credits would be subject to all impact fees resulting from new EDUs assessed at that time. Mr. Koenig stated his belief that the District was on a temporary Certificate of Occupancy at the administration complex pending the resolution of this matter, as well as some landscaping issues related to the site plan. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend acceptance of staff’s recommendation to transfer 13 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) credits from 211 Delaware Avenue, 945 Forest Street, and 75 Carver Road to the Capital School District Administration and Professional Development Center campus located at 194/198 Commerce Way (Tax Parcel #ED05-076.14-01-07.03). The motion was seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, introduced Mr. Patrick McCullar, President and Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Kimberly Schlichting, Vice President - Administration, both of whom were representing the Delaware Municipal Electric Cooperative (DEMEC). Mr. Koenig advised members that the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a state-mandated policy that obligates each retail seller of electricity to include in its resource portfolio annually increasing amounts of electricity from Qualifying Renewable Energy Resources through 2025, when it will reach the goal of 25% with at least 3% from solar renewable resources. Qualifying Renewable Energy Resources include solar electric, wind, ocean tidal, ocean thermal, fuel cells powered by renewable fuels, hydroelectric facilities with a maximum capacity of 30 megawatts (MW), sustainable biomass, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas. Prior to 2010, municipal electric utilities were exempted from the RPS requirements. In 2010, the Delaware RPS was revised under Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill 119 to require all utilities to participate, including municipal utilities, but allowing municipal electric companies to exempt themselves provided that they develop and implement a program comparable to the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards for ratepayers beginning in the 2013 Compliance Year (June 1, 2013 thru May 31, 2014). There was no clear standard for a “comparable plan,” but the statute imposes an “alternative compensation payment” of $25 per megawatt-hour for non-compliance in the first year, increasing to $80 per megawatt-hour by the third year, which must be passed to consumers. For the 2013 planning year, Dover must purchase 10% of its calculated load from qualified renewable resources, including 0.6% from solar photovoltaic resources, to comply with the statute. Mr. Koenig noted that DEMEC’s draft proposal encourages qualifying renewable energy resources and provides for a five (5) year planning cycle and annual and monthly compliance reconciliation for DEMEC members. DEMEC also has entered into contracts with qualifying renewable resources that will ensure compliance for its members for five (5) years, but only through planning year 2015. He stated that compliance based upon consumption would be complicated (i.e. industrial customers with loads in excess of 1,500 kWh may apply for exemption, but they must apply, it is not assumed; surplus solar capacity and facilities with Delaware-made equipment receive a multiplier, and compliance is suspended if costs increase by 3% (1% for solar)). DEMEC’s proposal would free Dover from the process of submitting its own plan.

Page 50

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 3 Mr. Koenig informed members that DEMEC provides full requirements service to its members, making compliance with RPS an integral part of the services. Although Dover is a member of DEMEC, it does not have the same financial obligations as the other members. Consequently, it would be necessary for Dover to enter into additional agreements with DEMEC concerning the scope of services, planning obligations, acquisition responsibility when DEMEC acquires qualified renewable resources, and compensation to DEMEC for the term of the renewable resource contract. These and other terms would be negotiated in the months ahead. Mr. Koenig indicated that this request for action was limited solely to the joint filing of a plan. Mr. Koenig indicated that the City evaluated whether to file a separate compliance plan or to join with DEMEC. He advised members that, on the assumption that the RPS and the “circuit breaker” to protect against higher costs would remain in effect, conversations with The Energy Authority (TEA), DEMEC, and Mr. Kirk Betts, the City’s Utility Attorney, led staff to conclude that the City of Dover should join in DEMEC’s proposed RPS Plan as outlined in the Municipal Electric Utilities Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. Staff recommended that the City join the DEMEC Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. Mr. McCullar stated that he was present to discuss the RPS plan and the possibility of DEMEC acting as agent for the City of Dover in the implementation of the filing and compliance with the plan. He complimented Mr. Koenig on his summary of the plan and noted one (1) correction, advising members that municipal plans do not have a non-compliance penalty payment. He explained that DEMEC was given flexibility by the General Assembly to design plans and this was being done with the goal of having a plan that is fairly comparable to the plan mandated for Delmarva Power. Mr. McCullar noted that the plan would seek to minimize the impact on DEMEC’s rate payers and to stay below the circuit breakers that are built into the legislation defining RPS (1% cost of retail sales on an annual basis for solar and 3% for non-solar, such as wind and other renewables). He indicated that the plan distributed to the local regulatory authorities (municipalities) must be adopted by the local regulatory authority, and filed with the General Assembly and the Delaware Energy Office. From that point, there is an obligation to meet the compliance targets which are determined on an annual basis as a percentage of retail electric sales; for example, if a set amount of kWh is generated in a year, a schedule determines the percentage of those kWh’s that must come from Qualifying Renewable Energy Resources, and there is a subset of solar renewable energy portfolio units. Mr. McCullar advised members that a five (5) year time frame was chosen for DEMEC’s compliance plan because this is the duration of the State energy plan and also because it was felt that conditions in the electric industry and the persuasions of the General Assembly may change, causing modifications to the RPS law. He noted that DEMEC would be responsible for the compliance obligation for the other eight (8) municipal electric utilities involved. He indicated that the plan was designed in anticipation that the City of Dover would approach DEMEC to be its agent and DEMEC was prepared to do so. Mr. McCullar noted that DEMEC currently had a partial requirements agreement with the City of Dover for certain activities and that amendments would have to be made to define the responsibilities and payment obligations,

Page 51

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 4 should DEMEC (as the agent for Dover and the other eight (8) municipal electric utilities) acquire renewable energy resources or build them to create a supply that meets compliance obligations. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. McCullar stated that DEMEC’s contract with the City would extend through 2025, since it was known that there was an absolute compliance obligation that 25% of DEMEC’s energy resources come from renewables at that time. Decisions would be made in five (5) year increments regarding what “the curve would look like” to meet the 25%. If the DEMEC Board of Directors (including Mr. Koenig) were to decide that a project must be built or a contract for output from a particular project to meet the compliance obligation in 2025 was necessary, an agreement would be put in place that would allow the City of Dover to participate in that economic project and have part of their compliance obligation met. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. McCullar reassured members that Mr. Koenig would be a voting member of the DEMEC Board of Directors. He stated that no legislative approval would be needed to amend the original plan if the City were to enter into the agreement with DEMEC. He explained that the municipal plans are viewed as nine (9) separate plans, since the legislation requires that each local regulatory authority have a plan; however, the DEMEC Board agreed that the best approach for all concerned was to have a unified plan with nine (9) separate reporting categories. He noted that the composition of the electric customer base is different in each community. Mr. McCullar indicated that industrial customers with a 1,500 KW demand can exempt themselves. He stated that regulations had very recently been changed to state that industrial customers are automatically exempt and need not apply. Mr. McCullar noted that DEMEC would advise each community of its annual sales and the percentage of these sales that come from qualifying industrial customers, and this would be subtracted from their obligation. He informed members that the City of Dover has quite a few qualifying customers (as does Newark); however, the Towns of Clayton and Smyrna have very few; therefore, a higher percentage of their total sales would be subject to compliance. As the annual compliance reporting is performed, DEMEC would make calculations to determine the actual year-to-year obligations and show how this was met with qualifying resources. In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. McCullar confirmed that DEMEC would be responsible if they were unable to meet the specified goals; however, he noted that “there is very little in the plan” that allows for a penalty and that new legislation would have to be passed to impose a penalty on DEMEC. Noting that the City’s solar plan ran “full bore,” generating 3% of the City’s electric supply during the previous summer, Mr. Snaman inquired about sources of renewable energy other than wind and solar. Responding, Mr. McCullar noted that there was a variety of sources, including geothermal, heated water solar, tidal, and small hydro energy, and that wind produces the most efficiency. DEMEC had a contract for wind energy for a project proposed by Bluewater Wind; however, this facility was never built. Mr. McCullar noted that DEMEC worked closely with the University of Delaware and that Professor Willett Kempton, from the University, performed a number of studies on wind resources in Delaware and discovered that there was not enough efficiency in wind resources to build wind farms in the State. He advised members that one (1) windmill was running

Page 52

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 5 in Lewes (a University of Delaware project) and, although it receives the benefit of offshore winds, its efficiency is “not too great.” He explained that DEMEC recently had Duke Energy build a 69 MW commercial wind farm operation on top of a mountain ridge in north central Pennsylvania where there was very good wind efficiency and DEMEC will receive 100% of the energy from this facility, which will serve the organization’s non-solar renewable energy credit compliance for quite a few years into the future. In response to Mr. Snaman regarding plans for other renewable energy projects, Mr. Koenig explained that the City was being approached by various solar developers (at least two (2) specifically) and stated that the Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan must be put in place before additional solar construction was considered. He noted that this was likely to come up in the future. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mr. McCullar stated that natural gas did not qualify as renewable energy. He indicated that the General Assembly allowed for a fuel cell powered by natural gas and that carbon-based resources would not qualify. Mr. McCullar stated that DEMEC’s plan as the administrator would be to identify the most economic and efficient projects that can be put in with the goal of creating the least burden possible on rate payers while maintaining compliance. Mr. Blakeman moved to recommend acceptance of staff’s recommendation that the City join the Delaware Municipal Energy Cooperative (DEMEC) Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously Carried. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Due to time constraints, this item was placed on the Council agenda for the meeting being held later in the evening.) Quarterly Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater (Deferred by Committee on November 13, 2012 Due to Time Constraints) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, referred members to the September 30, 2012 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Project Tracking Report and stated that the report encompassing the period through December would be discussed during the second meeting in January. TEA/NAES Report (August and September) (August Report Deferred by Committee on November 13, 2012 Due to Time Constraints) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, referred members to the August and September TEA/NAES Reports. Mr. Blakeman expressed his appreciation to Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, for the modifications made to the report format, stating that the information was exactly what he had hoped for.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 6 UPDATES Green Energy Funding and Programming Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, referred members to the Funding Summary for Green Energy projects, noting that Page 2 of the summary reflected a large financial commitment to the Dover Public Library. He stated that, as of December 5, 2012, the City had made a request to the Delaware Municipal Energy Cooperative (DEMEC) for the transference of approximately $152,000 related to Green Energy funding in association with the library. Mr. Koenig indicated that the City was nearing the initial set-aside for the Dover Public Library, as envisioned when the financing plan was developed by Mr. Anthony DePrima, former City Manager. He stated that no new applications had been received in the last few months, to his knowledge, and the City was working its way through the final funding of projects that had been submitted to date. National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipial Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that Planning Department staff had been working with the State on updates to the City’s plan. The City was in the process of obtaining reauthorization from the State for a new permit; however, staff at the State level had changed and he was unsure if these positions had been filled, so the City had the benefit of having additional time before a new permit must be implemented. He informed members that staff had worked through the issues identified in the City’s old permit and was continuing to collect data and make improvements to the City’s system to ensure compliance when a new permit is issued. Garrison Oak Technology Park Project (Deferred by Committee on November 13, 2012 Due to Time Constraints) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that it was his understanding that Becker Morgan would be submitting the final subdivision plans for Garrison Oak within the next week to the City, the agencies associated with stormwater review, and the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). The City had gone through re-engineering of some site utilities to accommodate the Calpine project and was progressing with water tower, pump station, and force main design. Staff met with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) during the previous week regarding water allocation permits and ways to enhance water production throughout the City. Staff was reasonably comfortable with the introduction of Unit 1 into the system and was attempting to get all allocation permits in line. Mr. Koenig explained that the demand that will be placed on the water system if Unit 2 is triggered would require the development of additional water resources over a specific time horizon; however, staff was focusing on the first 309 MW of power. Staff’s expectation was that Calpine would file for building permits during the January-February time frame and was planning to go into commercial operation in June of 2015, which would require testing of the facility under full load in early January of 2015. He stated that Calpine had indicated that they were ready to proceed but, as of the previous week, was waiting on their air permit, although it was anticipated that this would be filed quickly. Mr. Koenig informed members that easements were being developed from the Calpine site to the 230 kV tie site, and one

Page 54

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 7 of the hurdles being worked on was obtaining an alignment for the wire to go from the Garrison Energy Center to the 230 kV tie. This matter was under private negotiations with Calpine and other interested parties. The issue regarding the filing of LS Power vs. the City of Dover Planning Commission was unresolved; however, Mr. Koenig stated that he was assured that this was being worked on by Calpine and LS Power. Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding the status of the gas line, Mr. Koenig stated that he had not heard anything for or against the gas main. He indicated that his assumption was that everything necessary to get the gas line to the area was moving forward. By unanimous consent, the Meeting Adjourned at 5:27 P.M. David L.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on December 10, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Mr. Hare was absent. Members of Council present were Council President Leary, Mr. Hutchison, and Mr. Bonar. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Reduced Rates for All-Electric Homes in December, January, and February During the Open Forum Segment of the April 9, 2012 City Council Meeting, Mr. Ted George, 77 Billings Drive, requested that members consider providing an electric rate discount during the months of December, January, and February for those customers with all-electric homes. During the Regular Council Meeting of July 9, 2012, City Council approved the recommendation of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee that the proposal to reduce electric rates for all-electric homes be referred to staff for cost analysis and review. During the City Council Meeting of September 24, 2012, Council approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s September 10, 2012 recommendation that the proposal to reduce electric rates for all-electric homes be referred back to staff for a more in-depth analysis, and that staff determine the cost for the City to administer such a program (including whether an additional employee would be necessary) and the number of houses that would be involved, and provide a cost analysis to determine whether the program would be cost effective for the City based on the additional cost to the City versus the savings that would be realized by the customers. Mr. Anderson stated that it had been several months since the item was originally proposed and that a refresher from the citizen who brought the matter before the Committee would be helpful. Mr. Anderson moved to suspend the rules to allow Mr. George to speak prior to staff’s presentation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Mr. Ted George, 77 Billings Drive, reminded members that in June 2012 he presented a proposal relating to a policy that was in effect in the City of Dover for 14 years. He stated that when his home was built in 1972, Mr. Conrad Hebert, who was the City’s Chief Engineer, suggested the use of a heat pump or strip heat to heat his home because a 20% discount on the electric rate was being offered by the City and the 6.5 cents per kilowatt charge would be reduced to 5.0 cents during the months of December, January and February. Mr. George indicated that he was a newlywed at that time with children and working full time, and the rate reduction was the deciding factor for the heating method he chose. He advised members that in the 1980s the City’s police force was expanded and the electric rate reduction was discontinued to help support the Police Department’s staffing needs. Mr. George stated that as a result of Council’s delay in addressing this issue due to their desire for further review, the month of December was now almost over; however, he proposed a rate reduction for the 88 days remaining through February, the coldest time of the year, so that people could heat their homes to a reasonably comfortable level without paying a great deal of money for electricity. (City Clerk’s Office Note: City records indicate that Mr. Hebert was the Power Plant Superintendent)

Page 56

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 2 In response to Mr. Bonar’s inquiry regarding the potential impact of the proposed policy on the average residential user, Mr. Lynn indicated that Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, would be addressing this. Mr. George estimated the monthly savings to be $14,000 - $18,000 collectively for residents who have all-electric homes. Mr. Koenig reviewed a memo dated December 4, 2012 entitled “Reduced Rates for All-Electric Homes in December, January, and February.” He stated that, for the purposes of analysis, focus was placed on years 2002/2003, 2003/2004 and 2004/2005, which represented the last years of the winter/summer rate schedules. Mr. Koenig explained that if the summer rate of 0.0924 were considered the base rate, then the winter < 1,000 KW rate of 0.0880 represented a 4.7619% rate reduction and the winter >1,000 KW rate of 0.0808 represented a 12.5541% rate reduction. Mr. Koenig explained that if these percentage reductions were applied to the usage profile for an electric user who is in the system (Attachment #2 to the memo), this sample customer would receive an estimated savings of $36.60 per month during the months of December, January, and February. This would represent a composite reduction of approximately 9.79% on each monthly bill. He noted that if this past reduction were applied as calculated, the annual impact of the rate adjustment would be approximately $109.80 per typical all-electric household, assuming a 10% rate of reduction, or approximately $220 annualized for a 20% reduction. Mr. Koenig reiterated that the winter/summer rate schedules were abandoned in Fiscal Year 2005/2006 and, from that point forward, all energy costs gravitated toward a blended cost. He noted that the City no longer distinguishes between winter and summer rates in its tariff and residential customers purchase energy only. He noted that there is no demand charge associated with any of the residential customers. Mr. Koenig stated that the most recent rate study did not afford for this type of rate reduction for all-electric homes, so the impact on other customers had not been calculated; however, all revenue lost from a rate reduction must be made up from other residential customers; otherwise, the City’s revenue projections will be compromised. He indicated that if the City were to credit back $15,000 - $18,000 of revenue for all-electric customers, customers who do not have all-electric homes would be penalized. Mr. Koenig stated that he contacted the Delaware Municipal Electric Cooperative (DEMEC) to determine if other utilities in this area provided a reduction program and was advised that they had no knowledge of any such programs at present, although Smyrna had a similar program at one time. Mr. Koenig stated that, based on this information, he recommended against further consideration of the request for reduced rates for all-electric homes. In response to Mr. Hare regarding how such a program would be implemented if approved, Mr. Koenig suggested that a pilot credit program could be considered. He did not feel the City should send staff to individual homes to determine their all-electric status due to potential conflicts and recommended that homeowners obtain an independent verification of their all-electric status by a third party. He indicated that this verification should include notarized correspondence indicating the home had been inspected and the all-electric condition had been verified by a contractor licensed to conduct business within the City of Dover and that a verification form be submitted to the City of Dover by September 30th of each year. Mr. Koenig stated that although the differential between

Page 57

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 3 winter and summer rates was an approximate 10% composite, he would recommend that a 5% credit be issued at the end of the three (3) month cycle on the bill to simplify the credit adjustment. He recommended that such a program be subject to annual review by staff and Council. Mr. Koenig stated that he did not support implementing such a program as he felt that it would skew the current rate structure and, although all-electric homes were being promoted 40 years ago, the City was no longer in the power production business on a daily basis. He explained that the City has an energy production facility; however, it is essentially a peaking plant in the Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland (PJM) Power Pool and runs only when market conditions warrant the facility to run. Mr. Koenig advised members that the City purchases energy from the grid at predetermined hedge prices and the proposed program has the potential to create inequity in the billing structure. He did not believe that additional staff would be needed to administer the program; however, he explained that the program would create additional burdens on current staff. Responding to Mr. Shevock regarding blended costs, Mr. Koenig clarified that this is a financial term associated with power rates. He explained that there were once summer costs and winter costs; however, when the City went to the hedge program and began purchasing blocks of energy, usage was not broken down by season but considered as a whole, thus producing a blended rate. Mr. Koenig noted that there is no compensation for fluctuations in usage because hedge purchasing removes the spikes in the energy profile. Noting that the blended rate eliminates seasonal spikes, Mr. Anderson expressed his concern that customers still experience usage spikes since bills are higher in winter when usage is higher. Mr. Koenig noted that these higher bills are based on usage rather than rate. He explained that the City provided information regarding consumption and hedge purchases made by The Energy Authority (TEA) to Burns & McDonnell for rate analysis and that the City attempts to purchase power in blocks so that the hedge program mirrors consumption. Mr. Anderson questioned the percentage of reduction used to determine the estimated revenue reduction of $15,000-$36,000. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that based on the original assumption of 200 houses receiving a 10% reduction, the loss of revenue would be approximately $20,000 and a pilot program granting a 5% reduction would result in a $10,000-$11,000 revenue decrease. He noted that he could not be sure of the impact without knowing the exact number of customers involved. If the number of customers was significantly higher (such as 500 homes) the loss figures would change significantly. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that he believed that the program would apply only to owner-occupied, single-family homes, not apartment complexes or rental units. Mr. Bonar noted that he is on a fixed income; however, he does not live in an all-electric home and was concerned that implementing the proposed reduction program would create a burden on the rest of the City’s rate payers. He indicated that costs for all-electric homes are slightly higher than

Page 58

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 4 others; however, he pays approximately $600 to heat his home using oil, and oil companies are not offering reductions. He empathized with those on fixed incomes but reminded members that the City of Dover has the third lowest electric rates in the State. Mr. Lynn expressed his opinion that the City had a promissory obligation to individuals who were encouraged to renovate or build all-electric homes in the early 1970s based on the promises made by the City of Dover. He indicated that he was sympathetic to those who brought this matter forward and thanked Mr. Koenig for the compromise he presented. Responding to Mr. George regarding whether the City’s budget could support the $14,000 discount for the many seniors who have all-electric homes, Mr. Koenig stated that this question must be answered by Council, noting that it would impact the budget. Councilman Bonar stated that he, Councilman Lynn, and Councilman Anderson have the highest percentage of constituents in their districts that are either elderly or on fixed incomes and have electric homes or have limited means; therefore, he noted that it would be difficult for him not to support the proposal. However, he felt moving forward could result in the rest of the residential rate payers potentially demanding similar discounts, which would “open a Pandora’s Box.” Mr. George noted that the policy had been in place previously to which Mr. Bonar responded that times were different now. Staff recommended against implementing a program of reduced rates for all-electric homes in December, January, and February for the following reasons: 1) Such a program would skew the current rate structure; 2) the City is no longer in the power production business on a daily basis; the energy production facility is essentially a peaking plant in the Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland (PJM) Power Pool and runs only when market conditions warrant the facility to run; 3) the City purchases energy from the grid at predetermined hedge prices and the proposed program has the potential to create inequity in the billing structure; 4) Although additional staff would not be needed to administer the program; the program would create additional burdens on current staff. Mr. Koenig stated that, based on this information, he recommended against further consideration of the request for reduced rates for all-electric homes. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that the matter be referred to the Utility Committee. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation against implementing a program of reduced rates for all-electric homes in December, January, and February, seconded by Mr. Rushe. The motion failed by a vote of two (2) yes (Rushe and Shevock) and two (2) no (Anderson and Lynn). Mr. Lynn stated that the matter would be considered by City Council during their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013 with no recommendation from the Committee.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2012 PAGE 5 Review of City of Dover Identity Theft Prevention Policy Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City of Dover Privacy Committee held their annual meeting on November 14, 2012 to review the policy. There were no incidents of identity theft reported by City of Dover customers during the last year; therefore, a recommendation was made to change the frequency of meetings to “... as necessary, if any significant issues of identity theft arise” rather than meeting annually. This change is noted in Part 9 – Administration. No other changes were recommended and the committee approved the Identity Theft Prevention Policy with the above-noted change. Mr. Anderson expressed concern regarding the proposed amendment, noting that identity theft was skyrocketing and that “as necessary could mean never.” Mr. Koenig stated that if any incidents were to arise, the Committee would certainly meet to address them. Mr. Shevock moved to recommend acceptance of the report and that the Identity Theft Prevention Policy be amended to change the frequency of meetings to “as necessary, if any significant issues of identity theft arise,” seconded by Mr. Rushe. The motion carried by a vote of three (3) yes (Lynn, Rushe, and Shevock), one (1) no (Anderson), and one (1) absent (Hare). Mr. Rushe moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:28 p.m. Sean M.

Grantee may make such payment according to any bill, statement, or estimate PL procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement, or assessment or into the validity of such tax, assessment, sale, or forfeiture.

Any right, title, or interest granted in this instrument to Grantee also shall be deemed grant- ed to each successor and assign of Grantee and each following successor and assign; the word “Grantee” shall include all such successors and assigns. An owner of the Property shall have no obligation pursuant to this instrument where such owner shall cease to have any ownership interest in the Property by reason of a bona fide transfer.

21. Assignment. Grantee may convey, assign, or transfer this Easement to a unit of federal, state, or local government or to a similar local, state, or national organization that is a “qualified or- ganization” under Section 170(h) of the Code whose purpose, among other things, is to promote preservation or conservation of historical, cultural, or architectural resources, provided that any such conveyance, assignment, or transfer requires that the Purpose for which the Easement was granted will continue to be carried out. 22. Recording and Effective Date. Grantee shall do and perform at its own cost all acts neces- sary to the prompt recording of this instrument in the land records of the City of Dover, County of Kent and State of Delaware. Grantor and Grantee intend that the restrictions arising under this Ease- ment take effect on the day and year this instrument is recorded in the land records of the City of Do- ver, County of Kent and State of Delaware. PERCENTAGE INTERESTS AND EXTINGUISHMENT E 23.1 Percentage Interests. For purposes of allocating proceeds pursuant to Paragraphs 23.2 and 23.3, Grantor and Grantee stipulate that as of the date of this Easement, Grantor and Grantee are each vested with real property interests in the Property and that such interests have a stipulated percentage interest in the fair market value of the Property. These percentage interests shall be determined by the PL ratio of the Easement’s value on its effective date to the value of the Property, without deduction for the value of the Easement, on the effective date of this Easement. The values on the effective date of the Easement shall be those values used to calculate the deduction for federal income tax purposes allowable by reason of this grant, pursuant to Section 170(h) of the Code. The parties shall include the ratio of those values with the Baseline Documentation (on file with Grantor and Grantee) and shall amend such values, if necessary, to reflect any final determination by the Internal Revenue Ser- vice or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the ratio of the value of the M Easement to the value of the Property unencumbered by the Easement shall remain constant, and the percentage interests of Grantor and Grantee in the fair market value of the Property thereby determi- nable shall remain constant, except that the value of any improvements made by Grantor after the effective date of this Easement is reserved to Grantor. 23.2 Extinguishment. Grantor and Grantee hereby recognize that circumstances may arise that SA may make the continued ownership or use of the Property in a manner consistent with the Purpose of this Easement impossible and that extinguishment of the Easement may be necessary. Such circum- stances may include, but are not limited to, partial or total destruction of the Property resulting from casualty. Extinguishment must be the result of a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdic- tion. Unless otherwise required by applicable law at the time, in the event of any sale of all or a por- tion of the Property (or any other property received in connection with an exchange or involuntary conversion of the Property) after such termination or extinguishment, and after the satisfaction of prior claims and any costs or expenses associated with such sale, Grantor and Grantee shall share in any net proceeds resulting from such sale in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the fair market value of the Property, as such interests are determined under the provisions of Para- graph 23.1, adjusted, if necessary, to reflect a partial termination or extinguishment of this Easement. All such proceeds received by Grantee shall be used by Grantee in a manner consistent with Grant- ee’s primary purposes. Net proceeds shall also include, without limitation, net insurance proceeds. In the event of extinguishment, the provisions of this paragraph shall survive extinguishment and shall constitute a lien on the Property with the same effect and priority as a mechanic’s lien, except Page 9 of 15

Page 69

that such lien shall not jeopardize the priority of any recorded lien of mortgage or deed of trust given in connection with a promissory note secured by the Property. In making this grant, Grantor has considered the possibility that uses prohibited by the terms of this Easement may become more economically valuable than permitted uses and that neighboring properties may in the future be put entirely to such prohibited uses. It is the intent of the Grantor and Grantee that any such changes will not be deemed to be circumstances justifying the termination, ex- tinguishment, or modification of this Easement. In addition, the inability of Grantor, or its succes- sors or assigns to conduct or implement any or all of the uses permitted under the terms of this Easement, or the unprofitability of doing so, will not impair the validity of this Easement or be con- sidered grounds for its termination, extinguishment, or modification. 23.3 Condemnation. If all or any part of the property is taken under the power of eminent do- main by public, corporate, or other authority, or otherwise acquired by such authority through a pur- chase in lieu of a taking, Grantor and Grantee shall join in appropriate proceedings at the time of E such taking to recover the full value of those interests in the Property that are subject to the taking and all incidental and direct damages resulting from the taking. After the satisfaction of prior claims and net of expenses reasonably incurred by Grantor and Grantee in connection with such taking, Grantor and Grantee shall be respectively entitled to compensation from the balance of the recovered PL proceeds in conformity with the provisions of Paragraphs 23.1 and 23.2 unless otherwise provided by law. INTERPRETATION 24. Interpretation. The following provisions shall govern the effectiveness, interpretation, and duration of the Easement. (a) Any rule of strict construction designed to limit the breadth of restrictions on alienation or M use of Property shall not apply in the construction or interpretation of this Easement, and this instru- ment shall be interpreted broadly to effect its Purpose and the transfer of rights and the restrictions on use contained in this instrument. (b) This instrument may be executed in two counterparts, one of which may be retained by Gran- SA tor and the other, after recording, to be retained by Grantee. In the event of any disparity between the counterparts produced, the recorded counterpart shall in all cases govern. (c) This instrument is made pursuant to the Act, but the invalidity of such Act or any part thereof shall not affect the validity and enforceability of this Easement according to its terms, it beingIt is the intent of the parties to agree and to bind themselves, their successors, and their assigns in perpetuity to each term of this instrument whether or not this instrument be enforceable by reason of any stat- ute, common law, or private agreement in existence either now or hereafter. The invalidity or unen- forceability of any provision of this instrument shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this instrument or any ancillary or supplementary agreement relating to its subject matter. (d) Nothing contained in this instrument shall be interpreted to authorize or permit Grantor to violate any ordinance or regulation relating to building materials, construction methods, or use. In the event of any conflict between any such ordinance or regulation and the terms of this instrument, Grantor promptly shall notify Grantee of such conflict and shall cooperate with Grantee and the ap- Page 10 of 15

Page 70

plicable governmental entity to accommodate the purposes of both this Easement and such ordinance or regulation. (e) To the extent that Grantor owns or is entitled to development rights which may exist now or hereafter under any applicable zoning or similar ordinance, that would permit the Property to be de- veloped to a use or uses more intensive (in terms of height, bulk, number of structures, assemblage of lots, subdivision, or other criteria related by such ordinances) than that to which the Property is devoted as of the date of this Easement, such development rights shall not be exercisable on, above, or below the Property during the term of the Easement, nor shall they be transferred to any adjacent or other parcel. (f) To the extent that any action taken by Grantee pursuant to this Easement gives rise to a claim of breach of contract, Grantor and Grantee agree that the sole remedy on the part of Grantor shall be reimbursement of actual direct out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Grantor as a result of such breach and that Grantor shall not have any right to indirect, consequential, or monetary damages E in excess of such actual, direct, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. (g) While it is the mutual intention of Grantor and Grantee that the grant of this Easement shall constitute a qualified conservation contribution under federal and/or state law, Grantor is solely re- sponsible for ensuring that the terms of the Easement and the circumstances of the grant meet the PL qualifications necessary for Grantor to obtain federal or state benefits applicable to qualified conser- vation contributions. Grantee makes no representation that the grant of this Easement entitles Gran- tor to any tax or other benefit under federal, state, or local law, and Grantor’s failure to qualify for any such benefit relating to the grant of this Easement shall not constitute grounds for the rescission, termination, extinguishment, or amendment of this Easement, or for any claim of damages. AMENDMENT M 25. Amendment. If circumstances arise under which an amendment to or modification of this Easement would be appropriate, Grantor and Grantee may by mutual written agreement jointly amend this Easement, provided that no amendment shall be made that will adversely affect the quali- fication of this Easement or the status of Grantee under any applicable laws, including Sections SA 170(h) and 501(c)(3) of the Code and the laws of the State of _________. Any such amendment shall be consistent with the protection of the conservation and preservation values of the Property and the Purpose of this Easement; shall not affect its perpetual duration; shall not permit additional residen- tial [and/or commercial] development on the Property other than the residential [and/or commercial] development permitted by this Easement on its effective date; shall not permit any private inurement to any person or entity; and shall not adversely impact the overall historic and cultural values pro- tected by this Easement. Any such amendment shall be recorded in the land records of the City of Dover, County of Kent and State of Delaware. Nothing in this paragraph shall require Grantor or Grantee to agree to any amendment or to consult or negotiate regarding any amendment.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Police DATE SUBMITTED: 1/3/13 PREPARED BY: Captain Robert Scott / Administrative Division Commander SUBJECT: Office of Highway Safety (OHS) Funds Approved for In Car Cameras REFERENCE: State Grant Funding RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller/Treasurer EXHIBITS: None EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $49,970.00 PROJECT BUDGET: $49,970.00 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): New funds not included in FY13 Budget TIMETABLE: Order already in process due to short timeline. OHS deadline is Jan 15th. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council approval. BACKGROUND The Police Department works with the State of Delaware’s Office of Highway Safety on regular basis working numerous types of extra duty programs that promote public safety. Examples include DUI checkpoints, seatbelt checkpoints, checks for underage drinking and many others. The two agencies have developed a very positive working relationship over the many years of working together. As a result, the Office of Highway Safety periodically funds equipment purchases for the various local agencies in the state involved with their programs when they have funds available. These purchases are always staffed very informally, so there is minimal paperwork involved (i.e. no formal grant application process). The last process was worked primarily through emails coordinating information and requirements between the agencies. During Oct-Nov 12, the Office of Highway Safety indicated they had funds for in car video systems. Dover PD worked up their requirements for five units and initiated the purchase for these units totaling to $24,985 in early December. Two weeks later, the funding letter came through for 15 units, for a total of $72,000. Dover PD plans to purchase an additional five units, for a total of $49,970, and return the balance of funds since they do not have the funds needed for the purchase of the peripheral equipment for the additional units from other grant sources. The purchase of the In Car Cameras will not negatively impact our department’s operating budget. They will be used to replace systems that are currently antiquated and are slated to be replaced in the near future. This replacement cost would normally have to be included in our budget or paid through another grant source. Also, any maintenance in the first year will be covered under the maintenance agreement which is included in the initial purchase. FUNDING The equipment above will be funded by the Office of Highway Safety on a reimbursable basis.
