REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on November 26, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mrs. Williams was absent. Council staff members present were Police Chief Hosfelt, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Koenig, Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief Fortney, City Solicitor Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Carey was also present. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Leary declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. Mr. EShed Alston, 406 Arnold Court, indicated that documents were provided to Council Members previously and read portions of those documents. As indicated in the Sworn Statement and Witness Observations of Record (Exhibit #1), he stated that he was not promoting any racial riots in the City; however, he was raising the legitimate and valid issue of uninvestigated lynchings of black male City residents. Mr. Alston stated that he has been a Civil Rights Activist in the City for over 35 years and has never been involved in any violent confrontation with the police. He suggested the possibility of having disagreements without being disagreeable, even in instances of legitimate issues of concern. He noted that there is a website, www.waronthehorizon.com, which uses the lynchings to sensationalize a horrific event and opposed the use of such for self promotion. Mr. Alston informed members that he was not associated with the War on the Horizon movement. The invocation was given by Councilman James L. Hutchison, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for the deletion of Item #4 - Appeal for Pension Benefits - Steve Warren and Dewey Ray Lavender, and approval of the agenda as amended, seconded by Bonar and unanimously carried. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the consent agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). With approval of the Consent Agenda, Council President Leary noted that City Council would hold a public hearing on December 10, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. 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 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. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 13, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of November 13, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mr. Lynn and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 3 Referendum Results The City Clerk reported that the referendum was held with one (1) vote cast in favor of the annexation and zero (0) votes cast against annexation. Mr. Bonar moved to accept the referendum results, seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried. By motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mr. Hutchison, Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-16 by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Lynn, Perza, Bonar, Hare, Hutchison, Leary), one (1) no (Anderson), and one (1) absent (Williams), as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 2012-16 APPROVING THE INCLUSION OF AN AREA WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF DOVER. WHEREAS, the Charter of the City of Dover authorizes Council to extend the boundaries of the said City after a special election of the qualified voters and real estate owners of the territory proposed to be annexed, and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover deem it in the best interest of the City of Dover to include an area contiguous to the present City limits, and hereinafter more particularly described within the limits of the City of Dover, and WHEREAS, the Charter of the City of Dover provides that if a majority of the votes cast in an election held in a territory proposed to be annexed shall be in favor of inclusion of that territory within the limits of the City of Dover, the Council may thereupon adopt a resolution annexing said territory and including same within the limits of the City of Dover.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 5 3. That the certified copy of the resolution of annexation, together with a plot of the area annexed, shall be filed for record with the Recorder of Deeds of Kent County. 4. That the effective date of this resolution shall be the 27th day of November, 2012 at 12:01 a.m. ADOPTED: NOVEMBER 26, 2012 Rezoning Public Hearing and Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2012-21 A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider Ordinance #2012-21, rezoning properties located at 110 and 136 Rustic Lane, owned by Taililou, LLC. The properties are currently zoned BG - General Business (110 Rustic Lane) and RMH - Residential Manufactured Home District (136 Rustic Lane) (Kent County Zoning Classifications) and the proposed zoning is C-2A - Limited Central Commercial (City of Dover Zoning Classification). Mr. Bonar moved that the Final Reading of the proposed rezoning ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of Ordinance #2012-21 was accomplished during the Council Meeting of September 10, 2012.) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the Petition to Annex and Zone property and the Plan of Services Report. The Planning Commission recommended that the zoning classification of this property be approved as C-2A - Limited Central Commercial upon annexation. Mr. Bonar questioned if the applicant had been made aware that there were issues with the property relating to hazardous materials. Responding, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff discussed some of the challenges the property owners may encounter in obtaining utilities to the property. Mr. Bonar noted that the property was used as a storage lot for wrecked automobiles for several years and that the applicant should be made aware of potential concerns. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend stated that since the applicant had not submitted a proposed use for the property, the traffic impact could not be determined at this time; however, she anticipated mixed use of the property. She noted that since Rustic Lane is a Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) roadway, depending on trip generation, the applicants may be required to conduct a traffic impact study and that issues regarding traffic and required improvements to the roadways and intersection would be addressed at that time. Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that approval of the zoning classification would not authorize a “blanket” approval for use of the property. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak, Council President Leary declared the public hearing closed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 6 Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the rezoning, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent), Council adopted Ordinance #2012-21, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 110 AND 136 RUSTIC LANE WHEREAS, the City of Dover has enacted a zoning ordinance regulating the use of property within the limits of the City of Dover; and WHEREAS, it is deemed in the best interest of zoning and planning to change the permitted use of property described below from BG - General Business (110) (ED00-057.02-02-38.00-000) and RMH - Residential Manufactured Home District (136) (ED00-057.02-02-40.00-000) (Kent County zoning classifications) to C-2A - Limited Central Commercial (City of Dover zoning classification). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: 1. That from and after the passage and approval of this ordinance the Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance of the City of Dover have been amended by changing the zoning designations from BG - General Business (110) and RMH - Residential Manufactured Home District (136) (Kent County zoning classifications) to C-2A - Limited Central Commercial (City of Dover zoning classification) on those properties located at 110 and 136 Rustic Lane, owned by Taililou, LLC. (Third Council District; Planning Reference: AX-12-01) ADOPTED: NOVEMBER 26, 2012 UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 13, 2012 The Utility Committee met on November 13, 2012 with Councilwoman Williams presiding in the absence of Chairman Bonar. Water Quality and Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) Updates Members were provided a presentation entitled “Water Quality Update,” a City of Dover Water Quality Applicable Expenditures Report, a City of Dover Inflow and Infiltration Applicable Expenditures Report, and a presentation entitled “Inflow/Infiltration Update.” Mrs. Duca reviewed the “Water Quality Update” presentation, providing background information on the origin of brown water issues and explaining steps that have been taken to remedy the situation and find solutions. Referring to the Water Quality Expenses and Complaints graph (Page 4 of the presentation) and the City of Dover Water Quality Applicable Expenditures Report, Mrs. Duca noted that the changes that have been made have brought about significant improvement in terms of stabilizing the water chemistry.

Page 9

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 7 In response to Mrs. Williams’ inquiry regarding the function of the Wellhead Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Upgrade referenced in the presentation under “Production Capital Improvements,” Mrs. Duca advised that the flow is primarily regulated by pumps rather than gravity, but the VFD allows water to slowly “ramp up” into the system. The VFD controls how quickly water turns on and the pace at which it flows, allowing for less disturbance in the mains. Mrs. Duca reviewed the Distribution Capital Improvements portion of the presentation (Page 7), identifying various methods that have been implemented to design a more structurally superior pipe system, allowing for ease of locating the pipes at all times and minimizing reactions between the iron and the pipes themselves. She explained the prioritization schedule for water main relining and/or replacement projects to meet industry standards and address water quality concerns. Mrs. Duca reviewed improvements that have been or are being made to address the problem, including upgrades to the water main. She noted that future plans include replacing a minimum of one (1) mile of pipe per year beginning in FY 2014, along with other operational improvements and monitoring plans. She concluded this portion of her presentation by outlining the steps needed to move forward to meet the desired improvement goals to the City’s water system, including long-term planning, securing increased long term financial resources and staffing resources, and the utilization of consultants and outside contractors to meet critical timeframes. Mrs. Duca stated that the City of Dover Inflow and Infiltration Applicable Expenditures Spreadsheet was created approximately six (6) years ago to track expenses, and explained that the spreadsheet provides a breakdown of the various projects that have been done on both production and distribution sides, including actual expenses from FY 2003 to FY 2012. Also included on the spreadsheet was a total amount for each category, (including the amount budgeted for this fiscal year) which reflected any carry over required, ensuring everything is accounted for when jobs are complete. She stated that operational expenses including staff time, advertising, laundry claims, complaints, etc., are also included on the spreadsheet. In response to Mrs. Williams regarding the cost of replacing unlined cast iron pipe, Mrs. Duca explained that with staff doing the work, the cost to replace one (1) mile of pipe each year would be under $1M per year since labor is accounted for in the Departments operating expenses. She noted with larger projects, such as the Route 13 project that was recently completed, the expense would exceed $1M per mile. She felt that the time would come when the City’s manpower limitation (having only one (1) crew) would require the use of contractors as well. Mrs. Duca explained that within the next five (5) years, as staff encounters water lines that are more appropriate in size, consideration would be given to relining rather than replacing pipe. She noted that this may require expending a three year (3) allocation of funds for the project within one (1) year to obtain the best cost overall. Mrs. Duca noted that staff was still analyzing this project. In response to Mrs. Williams’ concerns regarding leakage into groundwater and the County’s sewer system, Mrs. Duca explained that leakage would not necessarily go into the sewer; however, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) had issues regarding slow leaks from the system into the ground. She noted that DNREC had concerns regarding how quickly chlorinated water reaches a receiving body of water; therefore, it was important to keep the City’s water loss at a minimum.

Page 10

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 8 Responding to Councilman Hutchison regarding the life expectancy of the new piping that was recommended, Mrs. Duca advised members that the cement-lined ductile iron pipe has had the best field testing and has a life expectancy of approximately 80-100 years. She noted that the existing cast iron lines had been in the ground for approximately 100 years and were manufactured prior to relining technology development. Mrs. Duca explained that the process of replacing pipes in the City began about six (6) or seven (7) years ago and included the replacement of some of the lines that were installed in the early 1800s. She noted that these projects would improve the structural integrity of the system. Proceeding to the Inflow/Infiltration Update presentation, Mrs. Duca provided an overview of the program and stated that these assessments had not been “on the books” as long as the water quality concerns, so it had taken some time to identify the issues and the best way to address the problem. She reviewed the presentation, outlining specifics pertaining to the City’s Inflow & Infiltration system. She attributed much of the problem to the age of the City’s pipes and progressive deterioration, which increase the possibility of groundwater entering the system and resulting in increased cost to the City. Mrs. Duca reminded members that the City pays for what is discharged; however, customers are charged based on their usage. Referring to Page 4 of the presentation, Mrs. Duca explained that inflow and infiltration can enter the system as a result of broken laterals, mains, manholes, direct connections, and sump pump connections, all of which contribute to the issue of what enters the City’s sanitary sewer system and is not directed to the storm drain or other drainage features. She elaborated by displaying a chart representing the increased costs associated with the inflow and infiltration issues. Mrs. Duca presented some of the ways the City is trying to assess the problems and strategies being implemented to work toward resolution, explaining that this is a huge undertaking and requires prioritization based on research regarding the level of damage and structural integrity. She identified several tools which are utilized to accomplish this, including the City’s Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Sewer Truck and staff certification in the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) for the use of the GraniteXP software, allowing them to assess each pipe in the system. Mrs. Duca advised members of the efforts currently in motion to address the problem, including interceptors on Division Street, northwest Loockerman Street, and the St. Jones, as well as main replacements on New and Reed Streets, infrastructure replacement in Morris Estates, and Fox Hall manhole replacement. She stated that the Fox Hall manhole replacement was almost complete and was the last item that would be attributed to City I & I infrastructure; remaining concerns are related to I & I from private sources. Mrs. Duca concluded her presentation by outlining the resources needed to achieve the desired results, including increased dedicated financial resources, increased and long term staffing resources, and utilization of outside consultants and contractors to meet critical timeframes. She noted that the cost of utilizing contractors to complete the work was much higher on the I & I side due to the specialty relining, as well as the ultimatums on the actual replacement of the sewer line.

Page 11

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 9 Referring to the City of Dover Inflow and Infiltration Applicable Expenditures Report, Mrs. Duca explained that the report, which dates back to FY 2008 when projects began in an effort to resolve the I & I problem, outlined the expenses involved in the various projects, including the CCTV Sewer Truck investment, staff time, etc. She noted that the cost of doing the work internally by utilizing the truck and internal staff was a fraction of what it would cost to use an outside contractor. Mrs. Duca stated that the City is trying to get Kent County to grant impact fee credits for what is being removed from the system to offset some of the expenses incurred. Committee action was not required. Quarterly Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (Electric and Water/Wastewater) (July, August, and September) Due to time constraints, this item was deferred until the next meeting. TEA/NAES Report (August) Due to time constraints, this item was deferred until the next meeting. Updates - Garrison Oak Technical Park Due to time constraints, this item was deferred until the next meeting. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 13, 2012 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on November 13, 2012 with Chairman Lynn presiding. Proposed Ordinance #2012-23 - FY Budget Revisions Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer advised members that Proposed Ordinance #2012-23 would incorporate the following changes into the FY13 Budget: ! The Original Budget for the Police Grant Funds that was missed in the original budget ordinance. " The budget ordinance represents the combined fund summary for three (3) separate Federal and State grants; the individual revenue and expenditure line items will be entered into the City’s financial accounting system for each grant. ! The audited Beginning Balances for the Municipal Street Aid, Library, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and Police Grant funds and corresponding revisions to the expenditures.

Page 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 10 ! Capital project funds are amended to reflect the audited Beginning Balances and corresponding adjustments for those uncompleted projects with multi-year construction periods. ! Amends the Beginning Balances for the Operating Funds to include the carry forward balances to cover the purchase of the mobile and portable radios for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) compliance that was budgeted for in FY12. The offsetting expenditures are also amended by department. ! The remaining Beginning Balances for the Operating Funds will be brought forward for amendment after the completion of the audit. ! Property Taxes are adjusted to reflect higher Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from the State of Delaware that was approved in the State budget after the adoption of the City budget. ! The additional Municipal Street Aid funds that the State appropriated for capital outlay on street projects in FY12 are carried forward in the Beginning Balance. This, coupled with another additional appropriation (revenue) for capital outlay, is included in the Municipal Street Aid Budget to be spent this fiscal year. ! Increased the Capital Investment Plan for the Electric Improvement & Extension Fund to provide funding for increased request for new developments and commercial properties, which is an increase of $300,000 which is being taken from the carry forward balance from last year. ! Amends the power supply and generation budget to provide more detail and inclusion of cost of the Solar Renewable Energy Credits. It was noted that all changes were noted in red font in the proposed ordinance. Mrs. Mitchell stated that Line #265 on Page 7 of the ordinance reflected $351,600 that was missed in the original budget. She explained that by July of 2012, adequate funds were produced through generation of electricity to realize a credit, which was included in Line #271, PJM Spot Market, in order to offset the $351,600 rather than changing the budget balance. She also noted that more detail was provided in the revised ordinance in the Electric Revenue Fund Summary regarding energy and supply items. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-23 - FY 2013 - Budget Revisions. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). (The First Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2012-23 will take place during the latter part of the meeting.)

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 11 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard During the City Council Meeting of October 8, 2012, a public hearing was held regarding consideration of renaming Division Street within the City limits as Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. At that time, the matter was referred back to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee with the stipulation that the Committee would provide a recommendation to City Council within 120 days and that public notification would be provided to all affected parties. (Clerk’s Office Note: Written notification of the November 13, 2012 LF&A meeting regarding the proposed renaming was sent to all owners of property on Division Street.) Councilman Adam Perza reminded members that various proposals to honor Dr. King had been considered over the past several months and that there were two (2) proposals currently before the City: 1) to rename Route 8, Division Street, and Forrest Avenue from the east boundary of the City to the west boundary of the City in Dr. King’s honor, and 2) to rename Division Street from DuPont Highway on the east to Saulsbury Road on the west. He noted that the City had provided opportunities for public comment during two (2) public meetings in order to obtain feedback from business owners, property owners, and government officials from the State and County regarding the impact on the community. He explained that there were significant concerns regarding the potential impact to the business community in terms of costs incurred, private residents had expressed concerns regarding the administrative burdens of changing home addresses, and members of the historic community had made the City aware that the Division Street corridor had been in the community since the 1850s and was historical to the City. Mr. Perza explained that these comments, criticisms, and recommendations were balanced against the concerns of the advocates for the King Street proposal, noting that the City had considered a form of recognition for Dr. King for approximately 20 years with no decision being made. He indicated his desire to submit the Court Street corridor as an alternative plan for consideration, noting that this would not necessarily replace either Division Street plan. Councilman Perza provided a presentation entitled “Public Hearing Re: Dedication of Public Street for Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.”. Referring to Page 3 of the presentation, he explained that the alternative proposal would rename the current Court Street, beginning at its intersection with Route 13, as Martin Luther King, Jr. Street or Boulevard and would “wrap around” Legislative Hall, extending to the intersection with Federal Street. The current Duke of York Street would become the northern portion of the proposed corridor, and William Penn Street would become the southern portion. This would include renaming the current Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street after Dr. King. Mr. Perza stated that Capital Drive, which serves Courtside Apartments (on the north side of current Court Street), would be renamed as Court Street and would unite with the southern lane of existing Court Street (on the south side of Court Street) which is effectively an “alley” running parallel to Court Street extending to Cowgill Street and serving approximately eight (8) private properties. Mr. Perza advised members that there was precedent in the City for uniting streets such as Capital Drive and the alleyway, pointing out that Kings Highway Southwest extends north past the Governor’s mansion, intersects with Division Street (where Division Street becomes Kings Highway for several blocks), and then turns north at Park Drive past Silver Lake Park and intersects with Route13. He explained that if all of the suggested actions were accomplished, no residents on the north or south sides of Court Street would be impacted and no businesses would be affected.

Page 14

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 12 Mr. Perza advised members that four (4) State facilities, including the Haslet Armory, the Tatnall Building, the Delaware Public Archives, and Family Court would be affected. He explained that Family Court would have two (2) address options: 1) retain 400 Court Street because it would be located on the newly defined Court Street, or 2) adopt the Martin Luther King, Jr. renaming. Mr. Perza described this proposal as involving a prominent, visible thoroughfare of the Capital that serves as an entrance to the legislative corridor which attracts attention from Delawareans and legislators from all three (3) counties. He noted that it contains a mixture of residential neighborhoods (including Capital Green, Garden Court Apartments, and Courtside Apartments) and there is no commercial development in the area, with the exception of the Route 13 strip on the eastern boundary. Mr. Perza explained that the advantage of the proposal was that it would minimize much of the impact mentioned in all of the public comments received from City and Kent County residents, Delawareans, and State and County officials. In addition, the cost should be less due to the reduced number of sign changes needed. He noted that consideration of this option at the current Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was the initial introduction of the plan, which had not been vetted by the public, State, or the City and that more public comment would surely be offered. Mr. Lynn thanked Mr. Perza for his efforts in developing this proposal and expressed his opinion that this was the best solution because it addressed the concerns of residents and businesses. Mr. Anderson stated that he liked the proposal, noting that this thoroughfare was one (1) of the best kept avenues in the City, the location of the seat of government, an entrance for tourists and visitors, and connects Capital Green to Legislative Hall, which he felt was symbolic. He stated that it was just as important that businesses not be disrupted in these economic times, noting that Dr. King was “about not just freedom but jobs.” Mr. Anderson indicated that the proposal addressed all these concerns and showed that the City was listening to the public and he thanked Mr. Perza for his work. Mr. Shevock questioned if any other proposals had been received and if the Committee would follow up to ensure that all property owners were notified of Mr. Perza’s plan. He stated his understanding that the State did not appear to object to the proposal and inquired if this would be documented in writing so that there would be no questions in the future. Mr. Perza reiterated that the plan was just being introduced; therefore, no advertised public meeting had been held to consider this proposal. He stated his belief that Council would schedule a hearing at the appropriate time and notify by mail the State and private property owners who would be impacted. Mr. Perza indicated that approximately 20-25 properties would be affected and it was his belief that 16 of them were owned by either the State or the City. He advised members that efforts had been made to reach out to the State to make them aware of the initial proposal since the City was seeking their input regarding the potential impact to users of the buildings. Mr. Lynn stated that if the proposal were adopted by the Committee it would be sent to Council for approval in two (2) weeks and the first available public hearing date would be December 10, 2012. He believed that the State would be notified and would have an opportunity to appear on or before December 10, 2012 to weigh in.

Page 15

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 13 Mr. Shevock questioned if everything in this regard should be in place prior to going to a public hearing because a “fly in the ointment” could appear after the public hearing. He noted that he had no problem with the proposals but felt that feedback should be received prior to going to public hearing because the public hearing could be a waste of time for the Committee and the City unless everything was in order. Mr. Hare stated his understanding that the purpose of the proposed renaming was to honor Dr. King in history and that he could understand the concept of renaming Court Street up to the Legislative Mall area; however, he was not in favor of renaming William Penn and Duke of York Streets since they were prominent in Delaware history. Mr. Perza indicated that he felt this was a fair comment to make for historians who are aware of the Duke of York’s contributions from England and William Penn’s contributions from Pennsylvania. He felt that these concerns should be considered through this process and that the Committee or Council could modify the proposal. Mr. Hare felt that renaming Court Street and honoring Dr. King “in the same breath” as William Penn and the Duke of York was appropriate. He felt that the correct process should be followed and should be “as pure as the results.” Mr. Perza stated that a number of the components to the process had been streamlined and many of the logistical arguments that were previously obstacles were removed. He agreed that there would be discussion as to what William Penn and the Duke of York mean to the State and this would be weighed against the contributions of Dr. King to members of the community, noting that history means different things to different people. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza confirmed that no private individuals or businesses would be impacted by the proposal in terms of having to change driver’s licenses, social security information, etc. Mr. Hutchison thanked Mr. Perza for his efforts and inquired if any other locations had been considered by the Committee. Mr. Anderson stated that he had heard that interest was expressed in renaming the Dover Public Library after Dr. King. Mr. Hare noted that a suggestion had been received regarding renaming newly created parks or “different things in the parks” in honor of Dr. King. Mr. Koenig confirmed that emails had been received regarding the potential for naming a park system or part of a park system after Dr. King. Mr. Hutchison stated that a location directly across from the Police Memorial had been suggested as a site for a memorial for Dr. King. He indicated that he would like to see a list of the options, to include feedback, and that the selection should be made as quickly as possible.

Page 16

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 14 Mr. Lynn reiterated the options before the Committee regarding this matter, as follows: 1) The entirety of Division Street, as previously suggested by Councilman Bonar. 2) A portion of Division Street (the original proposal from Route 13 to Saulsbury Road). 3) Mr. Perza’s Court Street proposal. 4) The renaming of the Dover Public Library. 5) The naming of a proposed pocket park system. Mr. Lynn noted that only one (1) of these parks exists to date in the form of an empty lot on the corner of North Street and Governors Avenue, which is completely unimproved. Mr. Shevock inquired if Mr. Perza’s proposal was a three (3) pronged proposal that could be divided as follows: a) Court Street only. b) Court and Duke of York Streets only. c) Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets. Mr. Lynn stated that any of those alternatives were on the table. Members were provided correspondence received regarding this matter. Mr. Lynn noted that a sign- in mind that advocates of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard proposal were leaning toward the Court Street option. He reminded speakers that comments would be limited to three (3) minutes and that the meeting was running a bit behind. Ms. Carroll-Lisa Malone, 1559 Forrest Avenue, inquired if Legislative Mall was the only name of the green, grassy area [between Duke of York and William Penn Streets]. Responding, Mr. Perza stated that he did not believe that this area had a name but that it may be codified as Independence Park, although he was unsure. Ms. Malone suggested that if there was concern about renaming Duke of York Street and William Penn Street, perhaps only Court Street could be renamed and the park could be named Martin Luther King Park. Mr. Perza stated that he had been taking notes from all those who appeared and would add this idea to the list of public comments. Ms. Malone indicated that she had prepared a statement with objections to the renaming of the Forrest Avenue corridor but had no objections to the Court Street proposal in its various forms that were suggested or the renaming of the Dover library. Mr. David Louie, 1684 N. Little Creek Road, read the following statement into the record: We, the 580 residents and businesses on Division Street, received a letter concerning this meeting tonight in reference to renaming Division Street from Artis Drive to Long Point Road to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Since I live on North Little Creek Road and will be affected by expense and time, I wanted to be sure this committee and Council will follow City of Dover Code and Charter. Whereas, every 580 residents and businesses will be petitioned to where we either want a street name change or we do not. And, this committee or Council will not “by pass” the charter or code and pass this name change without the

Page 17

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 15 petition being presented to all those concerned. In Oct. 2012, I received a statement from an investment firm for my son and it still had my old address from when my address was Division Street and later changed to North Little Creek, this was over 8 years ago. I am still updating companies from that change. Mr. Emil Voshell, 1125 E. Division Street, stated that he had resided at his address for over 50 years and inquired if his property would be included in this proposal. Responding, Mr. Lynn stated that under Mr. Perza’s proposal Division Street would be completely unaffected. However, if any of the multiple proposals on the table with regard to Division Street were adopted, Mr. Voshell’s particular house may be affected. Mr. John Welgin, 1082 Forrest Avenue, stated that he spoke at the previous meeting and advised members that he was not in favor of the street name change and had failed to mention that his parcel of land was not within the City of Dover but was in Kent County. He felt that the City could not legally change his County address. He stated that he felt that Mr. Perza’s proposal was “fantastic” and he was “all for it.” Ms. Justine Jarrell Davis, 5233 S. DuPont Highway, stated that she was 100% against changing the name of Dover’s 150-year-old historic Division Street. She explained that she and her family had owned property at 991 Forrest Avenue (on the corner of Saulsbury Road and Forrest Avenue) for over 72 years, that this address had been a constant in their lives, and it would be affected by the first two (2) proposals. She felt that renaming Division Street would create a hardship for all residents and business owners on the street as they would be forced to change the street name on many very important items, from business cards, to signs, checks, wills, etc. Ms. Davis stated that it would also cost the City a great deal for all the new signage, paperwork, and man hours. She noted that, while Dr. Martin Luther King is a prominent figure in our country’s history, he was not in Delaware or Dover history. She indicated that Dover is constantly growing and requested that if a new street name were to be chosen, that it be for a new Dover street rather than historic Division Street. Mr. Vernon Ingram, 402 Greenhill Road, stated that he is a business owner on Division Street. He thanked the Committee for the fine job that they are doing and expressed his agreement with Mr. Perza’s proposal. Mr. Gary Michaels, 1520 N. Little Creek Road, stated that he was recently informed of this issue. He stated that he takes care of an 88-year-old woman and has had a difficult time trying to take care of himself and her. He felt that making such a rapid change as the proposed renaming of Division Street was unfair to the community. He stated that this was not a racial issue to him but it was his personal opinion regarding how those affected would suffer the consequences. Mr. Michaels questioned if 1520 N. Little Creek Road would be affected. Responding, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, stated that if the property was within City limits it would be affected by the most expansive proposal in regard to Division Street.

Page 18

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 16 Mr. Charles David, 751 Hatchery Road, stated that he planned to speak about history and was speaking as a private person, with no connection to any organization. He provided members with a written statement and historical information including an excerpt from “A History of Kent County Delaware,” by Harold B. Hancock, and an excerpt from a Presbyterian Church history entitled “Bridge Across the Years,” by Aline Noren Ehinger. He advised members that a good deal of history made in Delaware since the time of William Penn was included in “Bridge Across the Years.” Mr. David reminded members that the City of Dover was the first City of the First State and that this creates pride among residents due to the history which has been forged over the centuries, from William Penn’s inception until today. It was his opinion that history has been made and that “history is history” and, like birthdays, cannot be changed. He felt that trying to change or do over what has gone before is not giving credence to our forefathers and that this applies to the renaming of Division Street. He read from Page 114 of “Bridge Across the Years,” as follows: A wealthy, well-known and distinguished Dover citizen, Reverend Thomas Budd Bradford, was a member of the Dover congregation from 1850 to his death 1871. He had inherited extensive property in and around Dover from his uncle, Nicholas Loockerman, and lived in the Bradford-Loockerman House at 419 South State Street. He was active in the life of the town due to his large property holdings and to his enjoyment in knowing people and in having a part in social and business activities. He was well known in this small town which numbered about 600 people within the city limits. In the 1850's Mr. Bradford laid out all his property in building lots and streets and proposed the name Bradford City. Mr. Lynn advised Mr. David that he had exceeded the three (3) minute time limitation. He apologized for cutting Mr. David off; however, he noted that the sign-in list included two (2) full sheets of names of individuals who wished to speak on this matter. Mr. David stated that he took this as an offense against what he was attempting to present. Mr. Lynn stated that although he found the information informative and educational, only three (3) minutes could be allotted per speaker. He suggested that Mr. David provide information to Committee members in writing or at a subsequent hearing on this matter. Ms. Florene LeCompte, 1110 E. Division Street, stated that she wished to present a statement from one (1) of the residents on her street who was unavailable to speak because she was not in town and did not know about the proposal and began to read a statement, as follows: “For reasons of personal security, I prefer not to reveal my name or specific address because . . .” Mr. Lynn advised Ms. LeCompte that she could make a statement on her own behalf, but not for a third party. Speaking on her own behalf, Ms. LeCompte stated that she agreed with Mr. Perza’s proposal; however, she did not agree with the renaming of William Penn and Duke of York Streets. She expressed her opinion that these streets were part of the City’s history and she did not feel that this should be changed. Referring to Councilman Anderson’s previous comment that he approved of the Court Street option as it related to Capital Green, she questioned why Capital Green would have anything to do with this. She stated that she thought that the matter being considered was not a racial

Page 19

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 17 issue; however, she felt that Mr. Anderson’s comment denoted that it was a racial issue. Responding, Mr. Anderson stated that he did not perceive the issue this way, but that Ms. LeCompte should take it the way she liked. Ms. LeCompte expressed her opinion that other options, such as renaming the library or any street that had not already been named would be good options; however, she did not agree with the ABCD corridor of Division Street (from City limit to City limit) because it would affect so many people located on that road. Mr. Kenny Shelton, 1539 Forrest Avenue, stated his agreement with Mr. Perza’s proposal. He noted that he spoke with an individual from Maryland who advised him that a street dedication had been performed to honor troopers who were killed a number of years ago. A large plaque was placed at that location but no addresses were changed and the only cost was a plaque and a dedication. He felt that a memory could be honored without changing addresses. Reverend Michael Rogers, 118 Springfield Way, President, Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA) (Dover and vicinity) stated that the IMA was pleased to hear the new proposal that was brought forth. He noted that the organization’s original plan was to seek a change to Division Street; however, that Mr. Perza had brought forth a very viable alternative and the organization would like to offer support. Rev. Rogers stated that other options were presented; however, the Court Street area seemed very plausible and prominent for honoring Dr. King. He thanked members and Councilman Perza for their efforts and trusted that Council would see this as a reasonable and viable alternative. Reverend Philemon Hill, 3728 N. DuPont Highway, stated he was glad that some reason had come forth and that “we are not like Congress and everyone has to have their way.” He indicated that the Court Street proposal seemed to be a legitimate proposal and stated that proponents were looking to unify the City rather than to divide it. Rev. Hill explained that the previous recommendation from Route 13 to Saulsbury Road was because of the location of the former William Henry High School, which he stated was predominantly a school for people of color until a change in government took place. He expressed appreciation for Mr. Perza’s efforts. Reverend Rita Mishoe Paige, 355 Rita Wilma Road, stated that the IMA supported Councilman Perza’s proposal for Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets and indicated that she would like to go on official record by saying that the IMA had sent the entire Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee a letter officially endorsing that proposal. From a personal standpoint, she stated that she found it offensive that the City government would consider a “scattered” park system, was “embarrassed for [Council]” that this would be considered, and requested that this option be taken off the table. Rev. Paige expressed her opinion that the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the entire civil rights movement impacted all 50 states. She stated that because of Dr. Martin Luther King, we can vote, members such as Councilwoman Williams are able to reside on City Council, and all those present at the meeting could be in the room and attend the same schools. Rev. Paige stated that because of Dr. Martin Luther King, history was made in Delaware

Page 20

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 18 and all over. On behalf of the IMA, Rev. Paige stated she was in favor of Mr. Perza’s proposal because no residents or businesses would be impacted, it would be less expensive than the Division Street proposal, and it would be a win-win situation for all; therefore, she urged members “let’s do it.” Mr. Paul Davis, 5233 S. DuPont Highway, co-owner of a business at 991 Forrest Avenue, commended the Committee for their work. He noted that he and his wife were opposed to renaming Division Street. He felt that when people sit down and debate or discuss in an intelligent manner a solution can always be found, and he felt this was what had occurred with this issue. He noted that many were affected; however, everyone kept their head and ultimately a great resolution was found. Mr. Davis expressed support for the Court Street proposal; however, he noted that he agreed with Councilman Hare that Duke of York and William Penn Streets should be left alone as part of Delaware history and felt that the same mission could be accomplished by honoring Dr. King by renaming Court Street. He noted that this was how things were accomplished in Delaware, by sitting down and talking about it. Mr. Edwin Baker, Jr., 1526 Forrest Avenue, stated that when he spoke before Council previously on this matter he noted that if people would sit down and get together they could do better and that this had been accomplished. He felt that the Court Street proposal was excellent; however, he agreed with Councilman Hare that a “good look” should be taken at the other two (2) streets as they are part of the City’s history. Mr. EShed Alston, 406 Arnold Court, stated that he had a document that was received from the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court regarding an ongoing appeal to the Court. He began to read some of the questions that he indicated that he presented to the United States Supreme Court from a prepared statement, as follows: Is it not irrefutably true that the U.S. constitutionally protected due process right of law and coinheritance in Civil Law and the equally important legal guarantee in and of the equal protection of American law trumps, outweighs, and completely circumvents any State’s ability to unconstitutionally compromise, trivialize, minimize, victimize-- Mr. Anderson called for a point of order. Mr. Lynn inquired if Mr. Alston’s statement was about the street renaming, noting that this was the topic at hand. Mr. Alston continued to read from his statement. Mr. Lynn reminded Mr. Alston that he had been addressed by the Committee. Mr. Alston stated that the statement did refer to this matter and this was why he was reading it into the record. He expressed his opinion that there was a double standard in the way that the black community was treated, that this was not just his observation but that this matter was presently before the U.S. Supreme Court, and he stated he was reading what the record was. He inquired if he should continue. Mr. Lynn inquired how Mr. Alston’s statement was pertinent to the issue at hand. Mr. Alston stated that the issue at hand was “our current circumstances.” He stated that there were currently lynchings going on in the City, whether people accepted this or not. Mr. Lynn requested that Mr. Alston take

Page 21

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 19 his seat since he had deviated from the topic at hand. Mr. Alston stated that the topic at hand was how “we” are treated in this town. Mr. Lynn stated that if Mr. Alston continued he would be removed from the Chamber. Mr. Anderson advised Mr. Alston that an Open Forum would be held later in the evening, beginning at 7:15 p.m. Mr. Alston stated that “there is no inextricability” and that all of this was connected. Mr. James Fogell, 360 Nimitz Road, stated that he wrote a letter to the Mayor and members of City Council about the hardships involved in changing the name of any street. He suggested that a memorial be constructed using privately donated funds, as was done for the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Dover and the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington, D.C. He noted that funds were donated for these memorials by those who really wanted to honor someone. Mr. Fogell felt that those who want to honor Dr. Martin Luther King should get together and put up a nice memorial, not just a street or a flyer by a street name. He advised members that there was a nice plot where the police officers park near the railroad tracks and he felt that this would be one (1) possible location for such a memorial, where people could sit on the grass and tell their children about Dr. King. He felt that donations could be received from black and white individuals. Mr. Fogell expressed his opinion that those who want a memorial should sacrifice. Former City Councilman Reuben Salters, 109 Bertrand Drive, stated that he had heard a lot of dialogue about the changing of the name and was both dismayed and encouraged by the comments. He expressed his opinion that “we, as good citizens of Dover” would find a way to come to fruition with this project. He indicated that many suggestions had been made. Mr. Salters noted that one (1) individual suggested that advocates pay for a memorial; however, he felt that Dr. King had already paid. As law-abiding citizens with great hearts, he felt that if everyone looked deep into their hearts and souls and thought about what Dr. King did for our nation and world, that the conclusion would be reached that no price was to great to be paid. Mr. Salters felt that “we did not give our life, our honor, we have given nothing but words.” He noted that history changes and depends on who is writing it. He reminded members that Mr. Perza stated that Duke of York Street was named in the 1930s, which he felt was not a long time ago, and that Washington, D.C. was not always Washington, D.C. He felt that history changes all the time and that it was time to start a new chapter in Dover. Mr. Salters suggested that if Mr. Perza’s suggestions were not followed that the $18M library could be named after Dr. King. Mr. Lynn noted that one (1) additional speaker would be allowed. Pastor Richard Avant, Calvary Baptist Church, stated that he had worked with Council over the last 30 years and that 20 years ago he and the Mayor considered changing the name of a street to Martin Luther King Street or Boulevard. At that time, petitions were obtained and the project was ready to move forward, and he suggested Scarborough Road as it had not yet been built; however, 20 years later nothing had been done. Rev. Avant stated that a proposal had been made and Council made a counterproposal through Mr. Perza, and proponents liked that proposal. He stated the desire to get the project accomplished. He noted that the matter had been talked about for a long time and that

Page 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 20 everyone would never come to agreement and that Mr. Perza’s plan presented the least amount of problems with no businesses involved. He felt that it was a waste of time to talk about Forrest Avenue if Mr. Perza’s proposal were to be moved forward. Rev. Avant stated that he appreciated everything that had been done and was looking forward to moving ahead with the new proposal. Mr. Lynn expressed his pride in being a member of the Committee and in Mr. Perza’s accomplishment in bringing different ideas together. He read the following statement into the record: I have been asked by many since the inception of this debate about why I feel so passionately about the issue, and why the City of Dover, with so many other concerns, feels the need to worry itself with changing the name of one of its oldest streets. I was first introduced, and became intrigued by, the issue of renaming a street to honor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd., when I heard a presentation on the topic at a Towne Point/White Oak Community Homeowners Association Meeting. Listening to the presentation that evening under the fluorescent lights of the ‘lunch room’ in Towne Point Elementary, I quickly realized that, to my Constituents, particularly my African-American Constituents, that this street renaming held significantly more import to their community, the essence of social justice, and their sense of self and worth than merely honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As in all things, I began to research the topic. First, how have other communities dealt with the renaming of streets to honor Dr. King? How have these efforts been received? What are the costs and inconveniences experienced by the individuals and businesses located on those streets? My research led me to Dr. Derek Alderman, Ph.D., a Professor at the University of Tennessee, currently head of Department of Geography, who describes himself as “a cultural and historical geographer interested in public memory, popular culture, and heritage tourism in the U.S.” and whose work “focuses on the rights of African Americans to claim the power to commemorate the past and shape cultural landscapes as part of a broader goal of social and spatial justice.” Reading Dr. Alderman’s work, together with my first- hand experience meeting with my Constituents, confirmed that this issue represents more than a commemorative street renaming, but is, in the words of Dr. Alderman, “a practice of increasing importance to racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. as they seek ways to recognize their past achievements and struggles and, in turn, to establish their current legitimacy.” Dr. Alderman suggests that more than 900 streets have been commemorated to Dr. King in the United States, across 40 states and the District of Columbia. My constituents maintain that the renaming of such an important road in the City of Dover is a testament to the City’s commitment to social justice, and affirmation of the sacrifices, trials and tribulations endured by the African-American community. Dr. Alderman, in his research, concluded that the renaming of major thoroughfare is representative of a “city’s commitment to recognizing King’s legacy” and that “by asking residents and business owners to change their mailing address, proponents

Page 23

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 21 seek to make King’s memory visible and personal to a larger cross section of the community.” The Committee recommended setting a public hearing before City Council on December 10, 2012 to consider Councilman Perza’s 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. Mr. Shevock indicated that he felt that the proposal should be presented and voted on in sections to include Court Street; Court, Duke of York, and William Penn Streets; or the Dover Public Library. Mr. Hare agreed with Mr. Shevock. He reiterated that he had no objection to renaming Court Street itself and felt that these issues should be considered separately with two (2) separate hearings. Mr. Anderson pointed out that once the public hearing was held, Council could choose which proposal to pass, could adopt neither or both if they wished to, or could amend the proposal. He felt that there were many avenues that Council could take; however, this was the next step to “keep the ball rolling.” Mr. Shevock noted that if these options could be put forward to Council as separate proposals and if this were part of the motion, he could support the motion. Mr. Lynn stated that the motion had already been voted on. Mr. Hare requested that when this matter is considered before Council that enough time be allowed so that everyone can be heard. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation to set a public hearing before City Council on December 10, 2012 to consider Councilman Perza’s 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., seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). EVALUATION OF BIDS - HVAC MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR CONTRACT Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the Department of Public Works maintains blanket contracts with contractors that are required to perform services for the City through the Department. These contracts are established in accordance with the purchasing policy and are often priced as “time, materials and equipment” type contracts and may exceed $25,000 annually. He

Page 24

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 22 explained that this contract would provide HVAC maintenance and repair to City buildings/facilities and includes provisions for regular and emergency call-out services. The facilities included under this contract include the following: the Electric Administration Building, equipment at the McKee Power Plant necessary for utility SCADA services, seventeen (17) substations, Weyandt Hall, City Hall, 710 William Street, Dover Park, the John W. Pitts Center, the Water Treatment Plant and the Puncheon Run Pump Station. Although provided as an option, the library would be excluded from the contract at this time. Staff recommended awarding the HVAC Maintenance and Repair Contract to the low bidder, Progressive Mechanical Services, Inc., in the amount of $43,950 and in accordance with the rates bid. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that he did not have information regarding the location of the Progressive Mechanical Services, Inc. headquarters on hand; however, indicated his belief that they did not have a local office, otherwise they would have received a local vendor preference deduction on the bid evaluation. He stated that none of the bidders took the local vendor discount in the evaluation process. Mr. Koenig informed members that the vendor that was currently being utilized was a local vendor; however, they are no longer providing these services. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that the impact on service calls resulting from the vendor not having a local office was evaluated as part of the conditions of the contract and that there was a requirement for a response time of two (2) hours or less. (Clerk’s Office Note: Following the meeting, Mr. Koenig provided an email response to Mr. Anderson’s questions stating that Progressive Mechanical Services, Inc. indicated on the bid form that their main office was located in New Castle, Delaware and that their website also indicated a Dover address; however, the vendor did not request any local vendor consideration for the bid evaluation. Given the rates indicated in the bid, Progressive Mechanical Services, Inc. would still have been the low bid if the local vendor preference had been applied. In response to Mr. Anderson’s question regarding response time, Mr. Koenig stated that the bid documents did not identify a specific response time required as he originally indicated; however, the City’s standard has been two (2) hours or less to respond for emergency calls, and given the New Castle, Delaware office location and information from the Progressive Mechanical Services, Inc. website indicating they maintain a Dover, Delaware presence, City staff will confirm their ability to respond in two (2) hours or less.) Mr. Hare moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Anderson, Perza, Bonar, Hare, Hutchison, Leary), one (1) no (Lynn), and one (1) absent (Williams). EVALUATION OF BIDS - ROBBINS HOSE STATION 2 RAMP UPGRADE Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, indicated that staff has been working with the Robbins Hose Fire Company on their request for the rehabilitation of their ramp at Station 2, located on the corner of Walker Road and Dover-Kenton Road. He stated that the rehabilitation would include replacing the existing concrete pad with a new, reinforced concrete slab and installing a new, reinforced concrete pad in an existing grassed area. The additional concrete area would provide fire apparatus increased maneuverability on the property, which could reduce impedance to the flow of traffic. He stated that

Page 25

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012 PAGE 23 the Department of Public Works created bid documents and worked with the Community Transportation Fund (CTF) Division of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to acquire the proper funding from local legislators for this project. Although three (3) bids were initially received, Mr. Koenig stated that Kent Construction withdrew their bid in the amount of $40,043.50, on November 1, 2012, and although a bid was received from Donald E. Reisinger in the amount of $74,200, information required for the bid was not submitted (calculations that would indicate that the concrete slab could meet the load requirements of the fire apparatus) and therefore the bidder was found non-responsive. City staff reviewed the bid package submitted by George & Lynch, Inc., in the amount $85,823 and found it to be free of math errors and/or discrepancies. In addition, staff reviewed the contractor’s qualification information, which included a list of recently completed projects similar in scope to the Robbins Hose Station 2 Ramp Upgrade project, as well as their financial statement, and found all information to be adequate. George & Lynch, Inc., qualified for a 3% reduction of their evaluated bid. Staff recommended awarding a construction contract to George & Lynch, Inc., in the amount of $85,823, for the construction of the Robbins Hose Station 2 Ramp Upgrade. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that Kent Construction requested that their bid be withdrawn since it did not include the cost of concrete; therefore, they could not perform the contract for the stated amount of money. In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig stated that Kent Construction could not be requested to resubmit a bid to include the cost of concrete since the bid results were now public. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that staff was anticipating costs for this project to be in the $100,000 range and considered $85,823 to be a good bid. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent). REAPPOINTMENTS RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CAREY - ST. JONES GREENWAY COMMISSION - THREE (3) YEAR TERMS TO EXPIRE DECEMBER 31, 2015 Mayor Carey recommended the appointment of Mr. James Burcham and Mr. Michael P. Mercer to serve on the St. Jones Greenway Commission for three (3) year terms to expire December 31, 2015. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the appointments of Mr. James Burcham and Mr. Michael P. Mercer, as recommended by Mayor Carey. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Williams absent).

City of Dover PROPOSAL FOR STREET NAME CHANGE Staff Review Report and Development Advisory Committee Comments In preparation for Public Hearing at City Council on December 10, 2012 Proposal #2: Proposal to change the street names of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Street. • Also includes renaming the internal drive aisle within the Garden Court Apartments as Court Street. • Also includes 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). Note: The proposal is being brought forward by City Council through the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee; it is 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. Location: Court Street from Bay Road west to split on east side of Legislative Hall and continuing along Duke of York Street (one-way westbound) and William Penn Street (one-way eastbound) to intersections with Federal Street Proposed Street Name: Martin Luther King Jr. Street File Number: MI-12-23B MI-12-23B Proposal for Street Name Change: Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Street – The proposal is to rename Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street. 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. See the attached Exhibit Map of the proposed corridor. Note: The initial proposal of September/October 2012 was to rename the entire 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. See Summary Report issued for October 8, 2012 hearing. MI-12- 23A. The City of Dover Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee (LF&A) recently discussed this proposal for the renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street as Martin Luther King Street and with associated areas to be named Court Street. The following is an excerpt from the November 13, 2012 LF&A minutes pertaining to the Proposal for Street Renaming: P. O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Community Excellence Through Quality Service

Page 33

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street Prepared November 30, 2012 Page 2 of 8 Mr. Anderson moved to recommend setting a public hearing before City Council on December 10, 2012 to consider Councilman Perza’s 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. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn, and carried by a roll call vote of three (3) yes and two (2) no (Hare and Shevock). By action of City Council on November 26, 2012, the report of the Legislative Finance & Administration Committee on this matter was heard and a Public Hearing regarding the Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street as Martin Luther King Jr. Street was set for Monday, December 10, 2012. Street Name Change Procedure As it has been initiated by City Council, this second Proposal for Street Renaming is bypassing the normal procedures for street name changes. The specific procedure for street name changes is outlined in the Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98, Article II, Section 98-45 Street name change procedure. (See Attachment A.) As outlined in Code, the normal procedure for street name changes requires a formal petition of request from a majority abutting property owners to the street then review and comments by the Development Advisory Committee (DAC), review by the Planning Commission, review by the Utility Committee of City Council, and then public hearing and consideration by the City Council. Court Street Corridor The Court Street corridor begins in the historic core of Downtown and continues toward the east side of the City of Dover. To the east of Bay Road, the street continues as South Little Creek Road intersecting with Delaware Route 9 (Bayside Drive) at Little Creek, Delaware. The street segment known as Court Street travels west from Bay Road crossing South DuPont Highway/U.S. Route 13 towards the historic core of Dover. At the east side of Legislative Hall, the street splits into two one- way street segments wrapping around the building towards the west. On the north the segment is named Duke of York Street and on the south the segment is William Penn Street. Both William Penn Street and Duke of York Street cross Legislative Avenue and then terminate at Federal Street. Previously, Court Street continued west from Federal Street connecting to The Green; however, while the street right-of-way remains it is not available to vehicular traffic and is currently under construction for an improved pedestrian sidewalk connection to The Green. The street rights-of-way for the Court Street (east of Legislative Hall), Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street are owned and maintained by the State of Delaware. To assist in compiling information and comments about the corridor in the City of Dover, the following street segments have been identified. See chart below and the attached Exhibit Map.

Page 34

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street Prepared November 30, 2012 Page 3 of 8 Street Name Location Court Street East side of Legislative Hall continuing east across South DuPont Highway/US Route 13 to Bay Road Duke of York Street Beginning on the east side of Legislative Hall and continuing on the north side of Legislative Hall for approximately two blocks to intersection at Federal Street William Penn Street Beginning on the east side of Legislative Hall and continuing on the south side of Legislative Hall for approximately two blocks to intersection at Federal Street History of Street Names The layout of the now City of Dover begins in 1683 with the order of William Penn to establish the town as the county seat. Reference sources note that the actual platting into lots (c.1717) or formal layout of the town (c. 1740-41) first begins in the area known as The Green. Over time, the area within City limits expanded from this historic core. Specific origins of each of the street names in the Court Street corridor would require additional research; however, some basic information is provided. The name “Court Street” was given to a street which ran east just north of the Old State House (originally built as the Court House for Kent County) on The Green (the Public Square or Courthouse Square). The name “Court Street” may be derived from the “Courts” which met in various buildings located on The Green. In the late 1600s- early 1700s, the “Court” was a form of government for the area and not just the judicial system we know today. The name “Court Street” may also be have derived from the concept that the road traveled east to a large tract of land known as Tyn Head Court (land patent circa 1680s with a dwelling known as Wethered Court circa 1740) located near Little Creek. On historical maps readily available to the Planning Office, the name Court Street is shown on the 1859 Map of Kent County published by A.D. Byles. Court Street continued east from the developed area around The Green passing through an area of farmlands and limited development (only a few small residences) before crossing the St. Jones River. In the late 1800s, nearby streets of North Street and Water Street continued further east (than today) paralleling Court Street each terminating at a cross street named Front Street before reaching the St. Jones River. The street pattern of today for the area known as the Capital Complex with its green open space of Legislative Mall begins to be developed in the 1930’s with the construction of the new Legislative Hall building. Over the next twenty years with the addition of more State office buildings, the street pattern evolves. Aerial maps of the early 1960s show the segment of William Penn Street under construction for the segment in front of the Jesse Cooper Building and Haslett Armory. The names of Duke of York Street and William Penn Street honor those involved in the early settlement and development of what would become the State of Delaware. Summary Information The following chart summarizes the properties along this Court Street corridor including the areas of Duke of York Street and William Penn Street. The chart was developed by Planning Office with

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street Prepared November 30, 2012 Page 5 of 8 Street Naming Guidelines The proposed Street Name requested is Martin Luther King Jr. Street for the Court Street corridor in the City of Dover. Within the Dover Code of Ordinances, Appendix A: Land Subdivision Regulations Article VI, Section A. Streets, guidelines for the naming of streets are provided. Article VI. Section A. Streets. 16. Street names shall be selected so as not to duplicate, or be confused with, the names of existing streets. Street names shall be subject to the approval of the commission. All new streets shall be named in the following manner: TABLE INSET: Short General Direction Long (under 1,000') North and south Streets Places East and west Avenues Courts Diagonal Roads Ways Curving Drives Lanes, Circles Arterial streets shall be named Boulevards Court Street is considered an urban principal arterial for the segment located between Bay Road and South DuPont Highway/ U.S. Route 13 (under the City’s sign regulations). The remaining segments of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street are part of the urban local street system. The use of the street term “Avenue” would be more appropriate under the City’s street naming guidelines than “Street”. While stated by the City’s street naming guidelines for usage with arterial streets, the street term “Boulevard” could also be utilized. “Boulevard” is often used for wide streets which typically include a planted median in the center and that may include multiple travel lanes in each direction. A determination must be made as to how to appropriately name and address the street when it divides into the two one way segments. The provisions for the numbering of properties (Dover Code of Ordinances, Article VIII – Numbering of Buildings) does not include a provision for this type of scenario. As both one-way segments lie south or east of Division Street and State Street which are points utilized for directional changes, a determination is required. See DAC Comments and Recommendations. Technical Review of Street Name Change Proposal #2 In an effort to proactively consider the implications of such a Street Name Change, the City of Dover Planning Office contacted the Development Advisory Committee agencies including City Department. This effort was to gather technical information on the operational logistics and implementation actions regarding the proposed street renaming. These logistics and implementation actions involves items such as number of properties involved, street signage updates, re-addressing process, notification, emergency response, costs, etc. The Development Advisory Committee met on November 28, 2012 to discuss the street name change proposal. The written comments from the

Page 37

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street Prepared November 30, 2012 Page 6 of 8 following Department and agencies were received in regards to this proposal and its implementation. See list below and attachments: o City of Dover Electric and Public Works Departments (Water, Wastewater, Streets, Stormwater, Sanitation, Grounds) o City Assessor o State Enhanced 9-1-1 Emergency Services Board o Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Implications of Street Name Change There are a number of implications to consider regarding this street name change. The following items are summarized. • Number of properties/addresses involved: For the Court Street corridor including the Duke of York and William Penn Street segments, at least 24 properties (estimated 69 addresses) will be affected. o The impact on residential addresses appears to be minimized with the proposed concept to retain the name Court Street for the apartment complex and the single family residences. o The impact on addresses remains for several State buildings: Haslett Armory, Tatnall Building, Delaware Public Archives, and the Family Court. Readdressing of the Delaware Public Archives and First State Heritage Park Welcome Center located on Duke of York Street may impact the ability of the public and visitors to locate the building and its heritage tourism efforts (existing marketing materials of various media – electronic and print with current address). The Family Court building could retain an address of Court Street South. • Costs: Implementation of the street name change will involve both hard costs and soft costs to the City and other agencies. The property owners affected by the name change will also have costs. • Code and Document References: There are a number of references throughout the Dover Code of Ordinances including in the Zoning Ordinance which include Court Street. It is also expected that various other policy and procedure documents for the City which may also reference Court Street, Duke of York Street and William Penn Street. • Mapping: As street names, Court Street appears on various maps and map products published by the City and other agencies, businesses, etc. Tasks for Implementation of Street Name Change There are a number of tasks identified by the affected Departments that would need to be undertaken to implement the street name change (see their comments). As it relates to the responsibilities of the Planning and Inspections Department, the following items will need to be implemented. • There are a number of code references to “Court Street” and may be code references to ”Duke of York and William Penn Street” that would need to be updated by ordinance. The Planning Office and City Clerk’s Office will work together to develop whatever ordinances are necessary to address this. Review and adoption of the ordinances involves the City

Page 38

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street Prepared November 30, 2012 Page 7 of 8 Council and the Planning Commission. Upon initial review, the following updates to the Dover Code of Ordinances will be necessary: o Chapter 2, Article II City Council, Division 1 Generally (District boundaries) o Appendix B: Zoning, Article 5, Section 4 Supplementary Sign Regulations • The Planning and Inspections Department will need to work with the Information Technology Department and City Clerk’s Office to ensure that historical property records for the affected properties are linked appropriately to the new addresses. The Department of Planning and Inspections maintains history of permit activity, code violations, inspections, and other data that needs to be maintained. Mechanisms allowing for ease of access and cross references between the old address and new addresses will need to be established. • The Planning and Inspections Department will need to complete mapping updates to the GIS ArcView Maps maintained by the Office, mapping applications like the Planning webviewer, and the City’s Zoning Map (Zoning Map Book). This will involve coordination with the City’s GIS Division. • The Inspections Staff will be involved in the enforcement of the posting of numbers on houses, buildings, or structures utilized as residences or businesses when new street numbers are assigned (if necessary). Inspections will be necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of the posting of the street numbers on building in accordance with Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98 Section 98-344 and 98-345. (Note: A permit is not required to post address numbers.) RECOMMENDATIONS and ADVISORY COMMENTS: 1. Staff recommends 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 recommends 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 recommends the use of the post direction identifier of North and South should be utilized. Resulting in street names of Martin Luther King Jr. Street North and Martin Luther King Jr. Street South. 4. Staff recommends 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 are attached to this report.

Page 39

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Court Street, Duke of York Street, and William Penn Street Prepared November 30, 2012 Page 8 of 8 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 a 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 notes that the Delaware Public Archives manages the Delaware Historical Markers program where markers are placed at historically significant locations statewide.

Operationally, our water service location cards are labeled with Duke of York, William Penn and Court Streets. This would incur significant time to rename all cards, and reinsert into our database. Additionally, a fair amount of time will be needed to change the nomenclature throughout the division. Staff estimates roughly 20 hours of work should be dedicated to this task. 2. The Department of Public Works flushing program would also have to be revised in order to adhere to the name change of the roads. Staff estimates that approximately 0.50 hours of work should be dedicated to this task. WASTEWATER 1. Operationally, our wastewater jet truck program is set up with Duke of York, William Penn and Court Streets. Internal staff would have to revise the paperwork to reflect the proposed changes. Additional time will be needed to change the nomenclature throughout the division. Staff estimates that approximately 0.50 hours of work should be dedicated to this task. STREETS 1. As this project would be proposed by the City of Dover, and not the Delaware Department of Transportation, the City of Dover would be fully responsible for replacing all signage throughout the City. The cost estimate on the signage replacement would be as follows: a. Total worker hours to replace all signage, including maintenance of traffic (assuming internal personnel can be utilized as flaggers) – 60 labor hours. b. Total projected cost of materials, including, but not limited to, standards street signs, state signs, overhead state signs and brackets - $2,600. Note: this price could increase, depending on the wording of the street, if the street name is not abbreviated, a large sign and mast may be required.

Total cost of police presence at signalized intersection (needed at all crossings when replacing the overhead street signs) - $240. Note: this price could increase if staff needs to contract out flagging duties. 2. Operationally, our street sweeping program would need to be updated; this includes, but is not limited to the schedules and checklists for City personnel. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. 3. Additionally, our emergency plan, associated with snow removal in particular, would need to be updated for City personnel. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. STORMWATER 1. Operationally, our catch basin cleaning program would need to be updated; this includes, but is not limited to the schedules and checklists for City personnel. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. SANITATION 1. Operationally, our trash routes would need to be updated; this includes, but is not limited to the schedules and new maps. Additionally, updating the recycling contractor with new information would be required. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. GROUNDS 1. None. GENERAL 1. Our Geographic Information System (GIS) would need to be updated, specifically, changing all applicable fields to Martin Luther King Jr. Street. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. 2. Staff believes consideration should be taken to uniquely name William Penn and Duke of York Street, in other words, both roads should not be called Martin Luther King Jr. Street, one solution would be to rename William Penn Street “Martin Luther King Jr. Street South” and Duke of York Street “Martin Luther King Jr. Street North”. This would increase the operational efficiency of our Department. For example, if a valve had to be closed at the intersection of Federal Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Street South, the crews could respond immediately, there would be confusion if both intersections had the same street name. 3. In summary, the anticipated total number of man hours that should be dedicated to this proposed change would be 87, which would equate to $2,600. The anticipated external cost would be $2,840. The Department of Public Works estimates the total cost would be $5,440. 4. The November 13, 2012 motion of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee also proposed renaming the Dover Public Library in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Staff currently has two (2) signs that direct citizens to the library, if we were to replace the signs with new signs that say Martin Luther King, Jr. Public Library, we anticipate the material cost will be $300 and the labor cost would be $100. The total cost would be approximately $400. A cost estimate will be created if it is decided that the signage on the physical building is to be replaced.

November 28, 2012 Ann Marie Townshend, AICP P.O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 RE: Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Street Re-Naming Dear Ann Marie, The address change for the property within the City Limits can be processed within the Assessor’s Office. 1. It is recommended that Court Street be designated a post direction of North and South, for the addresses in Garden Court Apartments; Family Court; and the residential properties facing Court Street. 2. It is recommended that Martin Luther King Jr. Street be designated a post direction of North and South for the Duke of York and William Penn portion of the street name change. 3. The property locations will need to be changed as well as mailing addresses in two software products within our office (H.T.E. and iasWorld) 4. The Assessor’s Office notifies property owners of new addresses. It is assumed that the Assessor’s Office will be notifying the property owners (within the City Limits) of the change in addresses, unless otherwise stated. The notifications will be mailed to the property owner. 5. Address notifications are currently sent to the property owner only, and it is the responsibility of the property owner to notify any tenants of this change. I think adding a statement would be beneficial. Our office does

Page 44

not maintain records of the tenants. It may be a good idea to add a statement to the electric bills about the street name change, if it is approved; as well as the City of Dover Web-Site and WebTV. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office. Thank you. Cheryl A. Russell, AAS City Assessor

CITY OF DOVER D E DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE L APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY D O D.A.C. MEETING DATE: November 27, 2012 T =============================================================== APPLICATION: MI-12-23 Proposal for Street Name Change: Duke of York, William Penn and Court Streets to Martin Luther King Jr. Street FILE#: MI-12-23 REVIEWING AGENCY: DelDOT CONTACT PERSON: Julio F. Seneus PHONE#: 760-2145 =============================================================== THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY'S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ELEMENTS WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT: CITY & STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS: RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED AS CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO MEET CODE OBJECTIVES: All existing signs with the current street name for Duke of York, William Penn and Court Streets will need to be changed to the new and proposed name, including any signs that direct the travelling public to Court Street. The City of Dover will be responsible for paying and/or installing the changes on the signs such as street blades, yellow advance name street plaques which are installed with warning signs, green guide signs, and the overhead street blades that are located on the mast arms at signalized intersections. For example, the overhead street blades on the mast arms at the signals along US Route 13, will need to be designed and installed by DelDOT to read “Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard” and the City will need to pay for these changes. DelDOT does not have a comprehensive inventory of the existing signs. Therefore, the City will need to perform an inventory to determine the number and location of all the signs that will be affected by the renaming. Once the inventory is obtained from the City, a cost estimate will be prepared by DelDOT for the City on the costs of changing the signs that are maintained by the Department. ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT: If you have any questions or need to discuss any of the above comments, please call the above contact person and the planning department as soon as possible.

City Council’s Board of Assessment Appeals October 25, 2012 The Board of Assessment Appeals was brought to order by Chairman Garfinkel. Board Members present were: Chairman William Garfinkel, James Welsh and Tom Burns. Staff present was City Assessor Cheryl Russell and Administrative Assistant Annette Hart. 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 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. 1

Page 49

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. 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. 2

Page 50

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. Mr. Burns made the motion to honor the request for exemption but with the stipulation that the City would request proof of the 501(c)3 status periodically. Mr. Welsh seconded that motion. Motion carried 3-0 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 3

Page 51

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 therefor 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. Mr. Welsh made the motion to accept the withdrawal made by Rector Weaver, which was seconded by Mr. Burns. Motion carried 3-0 4

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager DATE SUBMITTED: 12/03/2012 PREPARED BY: Scott D. Koenig, P.E., City Manager SUBJECT: Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan – Join with DEMEC Proposal REFERENCE: RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: City Manager and Controller EXHIBITS: DEMEC Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A TIMETABLE: Immediate endorsement and implementation as required by law. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends Dover join the DEMEC Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS 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 reaches 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 S.S. 1 for S.B. 119 to require all utilities to participate, including municipal utilities, but it allowed municipal electric companies to exempt themselves provided they developed and implemented a comparable program to the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards for its ratepayers beginning in the 2013 Compliance Year (6/1/2013 thru 5/31/2014). There is 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. DEMEC’s draft proposal encourages qualifying renewable energy resources, provides for a five year planning cycle, and annual and monthly compliance reconciliation for the DEMEC members. DEMEC also has entered into contracts with qualifying renewable resources that will ensure compliance for its members for five years, but only through planning year 2015 if Dover is a participant. Compliance based upon consumption will be complicated (i.e., industrial customers with loads in excess of 1,500 kWh may apply for exemption (but they have to 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 frees Dover from the process of submitting its own plan. DEMEC provides full requirements service to its members, making compliance of this renewable portfolio standard 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 will be necessary for Dover to enter into additional

Page 53

agreements with DEMEC concerning the scope of services, planning obligations, acquisition responsibility when DEMEC acquires a qualified renewable resources, and compensation to DEMEC for the term of the renewable resource contract. These and other terms will be negotiated in the months ahead. This Action Form is limited solely to the joint filing of a plan. Dover evaluated whether to file a separate compliance plan or to join with DEMEC. On the assumption that the renewable portfolio standard will remain in effect and that the “circuit breaker” to protect against higher costs will remain in effect, conversations with The Energy Authority (TEA), DEMEC, and Mr. Kirk Betts, have led us to conclude that the City of Dover should join in DEMEC’s proposed RPS Plan as outlined in the attached plan document.

McCullar, President & CEO, DEMEC SUBJ: Municipal Electric Utilities Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan DEMEC Background The Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) is a Public Power utility incorporated as a not-for- profit Delaware corporation in 1979; the members of DEMEC are the nine municipal electric distribution utilities in Delaware. DEMEC provides joint services to the members.  DEMEC generates electricity from its portfolio of owned generation assets and purchases electricity from other generators through staggered short, medium, and long term power contracts to meet the requirements of its member municipal utilities.  Eight of the nine member municipal utilities receive 100% of their requirements from DEMEC through long-term take-or-pay contracts and the City of Dover receives partial requirements service.  DEMEC has been authorized by its nine member utilities to manage the compliance obligation created by the Municipal Electric Utilities Renewable Portfolio Standard Plan. Delaware RPS Background 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

Page 55

Renewable Energy Resources through 2025 and beyond. The municipal electric utilities were exempted from the RPS requirements prior to 2010. In 2010 DEMEC and its members responded to a request from Delaware Governor Jack Markell by voluntarily joining the Delaware RPS under S.S. 1 for S.B. 119. The bill provided, among other things:  Increasing the RPS target to 25% by 2025 with at least 3.5% from solar sources.  Allowed municipal electric companies to develop and implement a comparable program to the State Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard for its ratepayers beginning in the 2013 Compliance Year (6/1/2013-5/31/2014).  Provided a method to freeze the RPS compliance obligations for utilities if costs exceed “circuit breakers” of 3% of retail sales for Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and 1% for Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) in any year. DEMEC Renewable Energy Commitments In developing a comparable plan, DEMEC evaluated its accomplishments and commitments to date regarding investments in Renewable Energy. DEMEC has invested in the development of a portfolio of qualifying renewable energy resources to achieve the lowest possible compliance cost to protect its ratepayers from unreasonable and burdensome impacts on their cost of electricity. DEMEC’s goal is to comply with the spirit of the Delaware RPS without creating a negative impact on the community ratepayers or the Delaware economy. Non-Solar:  DEMEC has committed to purchase all the renewable electricity and associated RECs from a new wind farm (Laurel Hill) in north-central Pennsylvania under a 25-year agreement. The facility is a 69-megawatt (MW) wind generation facility consisting of 30 Siemens wind turbines, each capable of generating 2.3 MW. Laurel Hill will be capable of generating enough electricity to power more than 20,000 homes.  DEMEC was also the first to sign an agreement with Blue Water Wind to purchase offshore wind energy. DEMEC remains committed to support and purchase wind energy from off the coast of Delaware. Solar: DEMEC has participated in the development of qualifying solar energy systems in all of the following RPS Taskforce defined Tier sizes: Solar Renewable Energy Tier Groups (State definition by size): • Tier 1 = 0 to 20 kW – Typical Residential Rooftop • Tier 2 = 20 to 200 kW – Typical Small Commercial • Tier 3 = 200 kW to 2 MW – Typical Large Commercial and Industrial • Tier 4 = 2MW and Up – Utility Scale Tier 1 and Tier 2 – Green Energy Grants  DEMEC has encouraged and supported residential and commercial renewable energy systems since June 1, 2006 though the Municipal Green Energy Grants Program.  DEMEC has leveraged over $7 Million dollars of overall investment in renewable energy with $2.3

Page 56

Million dollars of grants.  Currently, many of the owners of these projects have been stranded without an opportunity to participate in the State Auction process. DEMEC intends to help these stranded customers in our service territories by offering them long-term contracts for their SREC production.  DEMEC plans to participate in the State SREC auction process in future years as our compliance obligation for solar RECs increases. Tier 3 – Community Scale  DEMEC has always maintained that each member community should have support in siting a renewable energy system in its borders for the benefit of the whole community. This makes possible participation in solar by low-income members of the communities who otherwise could not afford participation.  Several DEMEC members (to date Newark, Smyrna, and Seaford) have expressed an interest in the development of these community systems. DEMEC intends to support community interest, low- income participation, and meet its RPS obligation concurrently by investing in these community systems. Tier 4 – Utility Scale DEMEC recognized early on that the legislative circuit breakers for photovoltaics would be hit and freeze the solar portion of the municipal RPS plan within a few years if the compliance cost was not carefully managed. In order to avoid hitting the legislative circuit breakers prematurely and to assure that we do not unreasonably increase the cost of electric service to municipal ratepayers, DEMEC chose to invest a significant portion of its RPS-dedicated funds in large-scale solar facilities. To prevent a negative impact on the Delaware economy from the cost of RPS compliance, DEMEC has committed capital to developing utility scale solar systems that create jobs and economic development for the State. The current DEMEC portfolio of Tier 4 Utility Scale Systems is: • Dover Sun Park – 10 MW – (DEMEC purchases 15 % of all SRECs) went commercial 2Q 2010 • Milford Solar Farm – 13 MW – (DEMEC to purchase a majority of SRECs and all energy) planned commercial 12/2012 DEMEC Comparable Plan Objectives DEMEC has set the following objectives as goals for its Municipal RPS Plan. • Develop and implement a compliance plan that is comparable to the State-mandated plan for Delmarva Power and that encourages development of qualifying renewable energy resources in the State of Delaware in all State-defined tiers. • Plan in 5 year increments. The parameters of the 5 year planning cycle will have the goals of achieving a comparable plan that: 1) Achieves the lowest cost compliance solutions to mitigate high renewable energy cost impacts for our community ratepayers and the State economy, 2) Encourages the development of renewable resources in our member communities 3) Maintains the high reliability of electric service in our community systems. • DEMEC will review and rebalance its compliance schedule annually to assure cost impacts to our community ratepayers are reasonable and accurately match qualifying retail electricity sales with renewable energy resource procurement.

A subject had called into the fire house requesting that the smoke detector batteries at his mother's house were dead. We advised him that we did not replace batteries as a service. He became very upset and an explained that his mother was blind and that he was out of town and unable to replace them. He was very agitated on the phone and was displeased with the department. Due to the medical condition of the homeowner, it was determined that we would install batteries in her detector. Upon arrival to the residence, I was met at the door by an adult male who asked if I was the Fire Marshal. I explained that I was from the fire department, here replace batteries. He pushed the door open and walked away. Upon entering the residence, an audible three chirp (like those from a CO detector) sound could be heard. I walked further into the residence where I found 2 adult males and 2 adult females and the mother (homeowner) at the kitchen table eating ribs. I asked where the detector in question was and was told, "the one that's beeping, can't you shut it up?" After looking through the house with no assistance, I found the detector in question. The red LED light on the CO side of the detector was flashing and chirping 3 times approximately every 20 seconds. After replacing the battery (detector was hardwired as well), the chirping continued on the CO side of the meter. I went to the Command Car and retrieved the CO detector to ensure there was no CO present. After metering the residence, no CO was detected. I informed the homeowner that the detector was hardwired and would need to be replaced. The male subject at the table was agitated that the detector was silenced. he asked if there was anything i could do to silence it and I related that there was not due to the fact it was hardwired.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Utilities DATE SUBMITTED: 12/04/2012 PREPARED BY: Scott Koenig, P.E., City Manager & Stephen Enss, ES & SO Superintendent SUBJECT: Electrical Engineering Services REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller EXHIBITS: 1) Engineering Services Evaluation - Point Analysis; 2) Pike Energy Rate Sheet; 3) Power Consulting Engineers (PCE) Rate Sheet EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: As Needed AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept/Page in CIP & Budget): Funding is provided within the project budget and the operations budget. TIMETABLE: N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding a three (3) year contract with two (2) one year extensions to Pike Energy Solutions, LLC and Power Consulting Engineers (PCE) per their rate sheets included in the referenced RFQ. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The City of Dover Electric Department is continuously working on various electric system upgrades with 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) Number 13- 0005EL to provide electrical engineering services on a project by project (on-call) basis. This RFQ was advertised in compliance with the city’s purchasing policy. Seven (7) submissions were received, reviewed, and analyzed by city staff. The Electric Department established a procedure using a point system analysis to determine the most qualified firm(s) to provide the request services. The following is a summary of the point-based analysis: Firm Location Score Rank Pike Energy Solutions, LLC Charlotte, NC 185 1 Power Consulting Engineers (PCE) Lilburn, GA 165 2 Carew Associates, Inc. New Castle, DE 105 3 Concord Engineering Voorhees, NJ 100 4 Utility Engineers, PC Drums, PA 92 5 RMF Engineering, Inc. Selbyville, DE 73 6 Current Solutions, P.C. White Plains, NY 62 7 Both Pike Energy Solutions and Power Consulting Engineers (PCE) have all of the necessary experience and staff to perform any of the requested work without using sub-consultants. In light of the amount of project to be undertaken in the Capital Investment Plan (CIP), staff feels it would be in the city’s best interest to award a contract to both firms. This would allow the Electric Department the flexibility to choose one of the firms based on their availability, expertise and workload on a project by project basis. The total cost over the term of each contact will likely exceed $25,000; however, the costs will be reflected in the appropriate project budget or line item. All awards under this contract that exceed $25,000 will also be brought back to City Council for award on the individual project basis.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the low bid, submitted by Corrado Construction Co., in the amount of $96,411.75. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS Wesley College 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 the use of the parking lot to the public, thus allowing use of Community Transportation Funds (CTF). However, certain improvements within the project fall outside of the easement area. This portion of the work will be paid for by the City of Dover with reimbursement by Wesley College. The city is in receipt of the attached letter dated July 25, 2012 from Dr. Johnston indicating that Wesley College will reimburse the city. 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. The bid package was advertised to the public as an Invitation to Bid in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent under Bid #13-0018PW. Bids were opened on November 8, 2012. The following five (5) contractors submitted bids for the proposed project. CONTRACTOR LOCATION AMOUNT OF BID Lindstrom Excavating Contractors, Inc. Worton, MD $208,960.00 JJID, Inc. Bear, DE $159,976.00 Dixon Contracting, Inc. Dover, DE $143,990.00 Kent Construction Co. Smyrna, DE $120,764.87 Corrado Construction Co. New Castle, DE $96,976.57 City staff reviewed the Corrado Construction Company bid package and found it free of math errors and/or discrepancies. In addition, staff has reviewed the contractor’s qualification information which included a list of recently completed projects similar in scope to the Wesley College Streetscape Enhancement Phase 1 project, as well as their financial statement, and found all information to be adequate. In conclusion staff recommends awarding a construction contract to Corrado Construction Company in the amount of $96,976.57 for the construction of the Wesley College Streetscape Enhancement Phase 1.
