REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on September 24, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Perza, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare (absent from 8:40 p.m. to 8:50 p.m.), and Mr. Hutchison. Mrs. Russell was absent. Council staff members present were Police Captain Stump, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Townshend, Fire Chief Fortney, Mr. Koenig, 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. Ms. Yvonne Hall, 228 North State Street, expressed her appreciation of the repairs made to the sidewalk in the 200 block of North State Street, as well as concerns regarding the cost to homeowners, businesses, and those who would be affected by changing the name of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Noting other priorities, such as the need for additional police officers and unbudgeted expenses related to the new library, she suggested a budget analysis be conducted to determine the cost prior to making the change. Ms. Helen McCusker, Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio, 1030 Forrest Avenue, read a draft letter from the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of Judy Diogo, President, as follows: The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce is aware that the city is proposing to change the name of DE 8 to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. We do ask that the City Council consider not making the name change effective for at least eight (8) months to one (1) year to allow the businesses in that area the opportunity to utilize their current advertising and promotional items that they may have already purchased. If the effective date can be pushed back, it will allow these businesses the chance to build in new marketing materials and promotional items in their next budget cycle. Many of these business have to also take into consideration the advertising that they have already committed to, such as the Yellow Pages. Giving them an extended timeframe will allow them to make the change of address in their future advertising. As we all know, business resources are extremely limited in this economy. We ask that you help our businesses by allowing them to utilize the dollars that they have already committed. We thank you for your consideration of this request and your understanding regarding the budgets of the area businesses. Ms. McCusker stated that she recently spent over $240 for 1,000 new business cards because she intended to be there for a while, and letterhead because the franchise changed its logo. She noted that there were three (3) new businesses, the Acorn Book Store that just opened in the shopping center and two (2) more scheduled to open shortly, that had plans in place with the current address. Ms. McCusker stated that it had taken her 11 years at this location to explain to people who live in

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 2 Dover where Forrest Avenue is located, and she couldn’t imagine going through this change all over again. Ms. Margery Cyr, Director of the Dover Public Library, 35 Loockerman Plaza, expressed her thanks to present and previous City Councils, the present and previous City administration, the private donors who contributed more than $1.7M to support the library project, the Friends of the Library for their unwavering support, the volunteers who helped with the move and brought pot-luck lunches for the staff and volunteers every day during the moving process, and especially the staff of the library who worked so incredibly hard during all of the days of the move, both before they closed the old library and before they opened the new library. Ms. Cyr also gave thanks to the staff of the City of Dover because there was not a single department that had not gone over and above to help the library get ready for the great new opening. Reverend John Moore, Youth Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church and Vice President for Research, Development, and Strategic Partnerships for the United Way, stated that placing a dollar value on changing the name of Division Street would be completely missing the mark. He noted that on August 28, 2012, the 49th anniversary of the March on Washington was celebrated, when Dr. King gave his most famous speech: I Have a Dream. It was in that speech that he spoke - absolutely contrary to what they are saying about the value of what they are missing - about his dream that his four (4) little children would one day live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Reverend Moore stated that the amazing thing that a lot of people miss is that just 18 days later, four (4) children lost their lives in the bombing at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama - Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley. He felt that this devastation brought the nation together because people saw the evils of what was happening because of division and segregation. It was because of that tragedy that segregation lost its power and people were able to come together. Reverend Moore stated that in downtown Dover, Delaware, there has been a task force addressing violence; there are challenges with our children in school; and there is a need to create a whole new sense of pride within our community here in the Capital city of the First State. He thought it would be an absolute miss if Dover did not set a tone, just as Wilmington did years ago, by taking the opportunity to rename a part of this city as a street that someday their children could walk up and down with great pride. Reverend Moore stated that the advantage would be to those businesses along the street during the historic moment next year when the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation are celebrated. He felt it was an opportunity for this city to step up and really, truly sustain the dream of Dr. King. He closed his remarks with the following quotes by Dr. King: Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of (justice) human prosperity requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and compassionate concerns of dedicated individuals, like you and I, for (an individual) a person has not started (living) to live until he or she can rise above the narrow confines of (his) their own individualistic concerns to the broader concern(s) (of) for all humanity. Mr. Paul Olsen, 301 North State Street, spoke in support of the Police Chief’s need for additional officers. He felt that expenditure of monies on any initiative, including street signs, maps, etc., was a non-essential expenditure of monies that was not needed in today’s challenging economic times.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 3 He noted that more police officers and the John W. Pitts athletic center are, and were, essential expenditures. Mr. Olsen stated that the police told him that they were too short-staffed and had more important things to investigate than his hit-and-run. He said it was necessary to support the Police Chief and provide the staff that he needs. Ms. Gertrude Buck, 120 Bayhill Road, Magnolia, DE stated that she came from Philadelphia, which has a lot of crime, and that the need for more police will be an ongoing argument. She thought that the City of Dover needed to proceed with the naming of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to promote pride and provide better directional instruction. Pastor Ellis Louden, Mount Sinai African Methodist Episcopal Church, 101 North Queen Street, stated that he recently visited Seattle, Washington, where a street and a county were renamed for Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the premier prophets of the 20th century. He felt that the least the City of Dover could do is to honor the memory of a man who brought so much to the quality of life for everyone in this country and to lift the quality of life for Dover, Delaware. He said that one (1) of the Seattle residents of the street that was renamed was originally opposed to it because she felt it did not measure up to the man it was to honor. However, since the renaming, she was in favor of it because Martin Luther King Way was growing into its name and had transformed many neighborhoods. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson requested that Item #6A - Transfer of Street Light Accounting to the General Fund, be removed from the Consent Agenda. Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell absent). ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of September 10, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mrs. Williams, seconded by Mr. Bonar, and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey. CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION - CHARLES H. BOYER - PRESIDENT OF THE DELAWARE FIREFIGHTER'S ASSOCIATION The City Clerk read the following Certificate of Recognition into the record: Certificate of Recognition presented to Mr. Charles H. Boyer in recognition of being Dover's first firefighter to be elected as President of the Delaware Volunteer Firefighters Association since 1930. The City of Dover extends its congratulations on achieving such a prestigious honor.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 4 Current Years of Service: Dover Volunteer Fire Department for 54 Years Delaware Volunteer Fire Association for 25 Years. Presented on September 24, 2012 Mayor Carey presented the Certificate to Charles Boyer and thanked him for his dedication to the fire service. Mr. Boyer thanked the Dover Fire Department, his family, Chief Fortney, and all three (3) counties for their support. Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, and Mr. Hare each extended their appreciation and congratulations. PROCLAMATION - CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, we recognize the vital role that technology has in our daily lives and in the future of the City of Dover, whereby today many citizens, schools, libraries, businesses, and other organizations use the Internet for a variety of tasks, including keeping in contact with family and friends, managing personal finances, performing research, enhancing education, and conducting business; and WHEREAS, critical sectors are increasingly reliant on information systems to support financial services, energy, telecommunications, transportation, utilities, health care, and emergency response systems; and WHEREAS, the use of the Internet at the primary and secondary school levels in our city enhances the education of youth by providing them access to online educational and research materials; and at institutions of higher education, the use of information technology is integral to teaching, learning, research, outreach, and service; and WHEREAS, Internet users and our information infrastructure face increasing threats of malicious cyber-attack, invasion of privacy from spyware and adware, and significant financial and personal privacy losses due to identity theft and fraud; and WHEREAS, maintaining the security of cyberspace is a shared responsibility in which each of us has a critical role, and awareness of computer security essentials will improve the security of the City of Dover information infrastructure and economy. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, do hereby proclaim October 2012 as Cyber Security Awareness Month in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to learn about cyber security and put that knowledge into practice. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Mr. Andy Siegel, Information Technologies (IT) Director, and noted that only Delaware and Texas received grants for Cyber Security. Mr. Siegel advised those present of resources available to them on the City's website.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 5 PROCLAMATION - FIRE PREVENTION WEEK The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the City of Dover is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those living in and visiting our city, and fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally; and WHEREAS, the greatest risk of fire is in the home, and home fires result in more than 2,600 deaths per year; and WHEREAS, one-third of those who burn fires in American households estimate a timeframe of at least six minutes before a home fire might become life threatening; however, in reality, the time available is often less; and WHEREAS, less than one-fourth of Americans have developed and practiced a home fire escape plan and it is imperative that individuals and families practice such a plan at least twice per year; and WHEREAS, the City of Dover Fire Marshal and Volunteer Fire Department are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of home fires and home fire deaths and injuries through prevention and proper education; and WHEREAS, the 2012 Fire Prevention Week theme, "Have Two Ways Out!" effectively serves to remind us to develop and practice a home fire escape plan year-round. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, do hereby proclaim October 7 – 13, 2012 as Fire Prevention Week in the City of Dover and urge all people to practice their home fire escape plan during Fire Prevention Week and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of fire and emergency service personnel. Mayor Carey presented the Proclamation to Charles Boyer, President of the Delaware Fire Fighter's Association. Mr. Boyer reminded everyone to change the batteries in their smoke detectors and Mayor Carey advised that if anyone could not afford a smoke detector, they should contact the Fire Department for assistance. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - 212 N. GOVERNORS AVENUE, OWNED BY DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 212 N. Governors Avenue, owned by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that the property was a two (2) story, wood-framed, single-family home with a detached one (1) car garage at the rear of the property. The dwelling was condemned as unfit for human habitation on July 20, 2012 due to the lack of utilities and the amount of broken windows and unsecured doors.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 6 The City has boarded the property several times and on August 10, 2012, unknown subjects entered the dwelling and started a fire in the front second-floor bedroom, causing additional damage to the home. Currently the structure was vacant, with no active utility services and in a serious state of disrepair. Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the structure (Exhibit #1). Staff recommended that City Council take the following action for property located at 212 N. Governors Avenue: 1) declare this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by October 24, 2012 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien, or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. Responding to questions of Council members, Mrs. Townshend noted that the notice delivery receipt had been received; the fire damage, which was not structural, was contained in one (1) bedroom; the house was significantly less than ten (10) feet from the next house; and there had been no attempt by the owner to repair the property. Council President Leary declared the public hearing open. Mr. Benjamin Salin, 214 North Governors Avenue, stated that he owned the property next door which was approximately four (4) feet from this house. Over the past few years, since the house had been empty, people break in, fornicate in the garage, and use drugs and leave needles in the back of the house. He said the property is a general nuisance and it is only a matter of time before someone catches his house on fire. Council President Leary noted that correspondence regarding this matter had been received from Mr. Salin (Exhibit #2). Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Salin stated that two (2) years was sufficient time to wait for someone to repair the property. There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Bonar moved to 1) declare the building and all accessory structures located at 212 N. Governors Avenue dangerous; 2) order the property repaired or demolished by October 24, 2012 by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) order the Building Inspector to cause the repair or demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; and 4) order the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor, to cause the cost of repairs or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 7 suit at law against the owner. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell absent). PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on September 10, 2012 with Councilman Bonar presiding in the absence of Chairwoman Russell. Presentation - Restoration and Remediation of Mirror Lake Mr. Dean Holden, Chair, Silver Lake Commission, recognized the joint effort of the Commission and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) in developing a project focusing on two (2) main areas of concern at Mirror Lake, mercury/PCB contaminants (which led to a prohibition against eating fish from the Lake) and visual aesthetics, related to the sandbar in the area. Mr. Holden stated that Mr. Rick Greene, Environmental Engineer, DNREC, had presented information to the Commission regarding ways to resolve the issues, including securing funding sources for the majority of the project, and that some members of Council had attended related meetings. In addition, he noted that Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, and other City officials had provided input and that public workshops were held to provide the community an opportunity to voice their concerns. Mr. Holden referenced a few ideas relating to the project that were in progress, including a volunteer program for clean-up and a biannual clean up schedule. He noted that, although some residents expressed concern regarding maintenance of plantings along the waterway, the overall public response to the project was supportive. He requested that members look upon the project favorably and move it forward for Council’s consideration. He noted that it was hoped that construction could begin in the Fall of 2013. Mr. Rick Greene provided members with an informational sheet, “Remediation and Restoration of Mirror Lake” and reviewed a presentation entitled “Restoration and Remediation of Mirror Lake, Dover, dated July 1, 2012.” The presentation focused on four (4) main areas, including the vision for the project, a review of problems that the project presented, options to remedy the problems, and details regarding DNREC’s preferred solution. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Greene stated that the sediment involved with this project was not so heavily contaminated that it would be considered hazardous waste. He indicated that contaminants do the most damage in an aquatic environment and accumulate in high concentration; therefore, it would be preferable to move the sediment to a dry area that could be controlled and capped rather than spreading it in a marsh. Mr. Greene indicated that if no action were taken, it would take approximately 74 years for the concentration of PCBs in Mirror Lake sediments to drop to the point that fish from the Lake would be edible; therefore, various alternative options were considered, along with the challenges associated with them. This led to DNREC’s preferred method to “Sequester it in place,” and he provided a detailed explanation of the process and the costs, challenges, and benefits of this option, which would reduce the level of contaminants by 70% - 90% within five (5) years. He stated that, in an effort to further determine the feasibility of the project, DNREC reached out to

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 8 Dr. Upal Ghosh, Professor, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and it was concluded that the Mirror Lake project was a good candidate for the carbon treatment proposed by DNREC. Mr. Greene estimated the cost of the project to be approximately $750,000, including planning, design, construction, and monitoring. He further advised that a great deal of funding had already been secured, including $680,000 from the State Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA) program and $63,000 from DNREC, for the development of plans and specifications. Mr. Greene stated that additional funding and assistance were still needed from the City, including support for the project concept, authorization for access to the necessary areas, drawing down the lake prior to the inception of the project, and providing labor, the use of equipment and plants. Mr. Greene acknowledged those who had contributed to this project, including Mr. Koenig; the Silver Lake Commission (and specifically Mr. Holden); members of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee; and many others. In response to Mr. Lewis regarding the procedure for capping carbon pellets, Mr. Greene advised that fill would be added to create a wetland bench that would lock in the pellets, keep them from moving downstream, and ultimately allow them to be incorporated into the sediment. He noted some fish fatalities would be unavoidable, but by drawing down the lake slowly, fish would be driven into other areas and harm would be minimized. Mr. Greene explained the State of Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife had agreed that the long-term benefits of the project would outweigh the short- term impact. Responding to Mrs. Horsey, Mr. Greene stated that once the pellets were contained in the sandbar along with fill that would be added, the pellets would remain stable. He noted that the heaviest contaminants were on the western side of the Lake; however, he felt that both the eastern and western sides of the Lake were fairly stable. In response to Mr. Bonar regarding the specific contributions that were being requested from the City, Mr. Greene indicated that labor, the use of a lift truck, and sandbags were desired and he estimated the cost of the City’s contribution at approximately $25,000. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig confirmed that fountain pumps that the City previously purchased to aerate Mirror Lake (which cost approximately $5,000 - $8,000) became clogged with sediment and were being stored in the City warehouse. Mr. Holden noted that the Silver Lake Commission considered this option to address green algae; however, a consultant report determined that a number of aeration stations spread throughout the lake would be needed, which would be very costly, energy intensive, and would not address the issue. He explained that the lake contained 50% agricultural and 50% urban contaminants and noted that dredging the lake could eliminate blue/green algae but might cause different types of algae, such as brown or red, that could potentially be more threatening and damaging to the environment. Mr. Holden noted that the fact that the Lake is a manmade ecosystem makes remedying the situation very challenging. He indicated that there are a number of storm water discharges and highways that drain directly into the lake and suggested that perhaps Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) be approached to contribute funds toward remedying this problem. Mr. Holden explained that cost was a concern, noting that a study performed a number of years ago identified 80 storm water retrofits that were needed. He estimated

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 9 that this would cost $50M and stated the need to establish a funding source for this purpose. He explained that no single project would eliminate blue-green algae and that appropriate expectations must be set up for what could be accomplished. Mr. Holden advised members that the project could be addressed in small increments, including aspects such as storm water retrofits and streambank restoration. Mr. Bonar expressed his support for the project and encouraged the Commission and the City Manager to look for funding sources to remedy the deterioration of Mirror Lake and Silver Lake more effectively. Responding, Mr. Holden noted that obtaining funds was a challenge and that a grant proposal was recently submitted to improve the water quality behind Central Middle School. He indicated that it is difficult for the general public to understand that it costs a great deal of money to complete such projects and suggested that members of Council speak to the public on these issues so that a funding source could be developed to address the problem on a larger scale. Mr. Koenig advised members regarding the challenge of maintaining related projects once they are complete, noting that a 15-page maintenance document was generated related to the repair of buffers in the area and that the City did not have adequate staffing to implement this document. In addition, he anticipated that some of the residents on Park Drive would object to the project, noting that they had expressed concerns about the buffer that was put in north of the area on Park Drive. Residents indicated that growth was too tall, obstructing their view of the water, and had not been properly maintained. Mr. Greene assured members that the residents would be able to see the water following the planting that is planned for the Lake, as outlined in this project. Mr. Holden pointed out that a program was being organized with citizen assistance to address these concerns. The Committee recommended support for the restoration and remediation of Mirror Lake, as presented. During the Council meeting, Mr. Rick Greene, Environmental Engineer, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), and Mr. Dean Holden, Chair of the Silver Lake Commission, reviewed a presentation entitled "Remediation and Restoration of Mirror Lake, Dover." Mr. Greene advised Council members that the expected level of assistance being requested from the City was an access and staging agreement, assistance with drawing down the water level, a lift truck and employees to load and unload the portadam frames, 1,200 sandbags, and plantings. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the sandbags would cost approximately $1,000 to $1,500 and the cost for the use of staff and equipment would be less than $2,500. He noted that the benefit would be significant because it would address ongoing issues with Silver Lake and Mirror Lake and the projects would help with the stormwater permitting and restore the area along the St. Jones River. Mr. Koenig acknowledged that some residents along Park Drive had expressed concerns about the aesthetics of the project and wanting to maintain the view of the water line. He noted that staff

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 10 would work with DNREC regarding this concern, as well as the engineering and environmental issues. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation to support the restoration and remediation of Mirror Lake, as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell absent). Presentation - Overview of City of Dover Recreation Programs Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, explained that following the retirement of Mr. Zachery Carter, former Director of Parks and Recreation, in June 2012, the City Manager made the decision to remove funding for this position from the budget. The parks responsibilities of the position were then assigned to the Public Works Department and the recreation responsibilities to the Planning Department. Due to the change in structure, Mrs. Townshend felt it important for members to be introduced to recreation staff and receive information regarding programs and employee responsibilities. Mrs. Townshend introduced staff members, including Mr. Steve Pickering, City Sports Coordinator; Mr. Wayne Voshell, Recreation Center Coordinator; Ms. Peggy O’Brien, Office Clerk; Ms. Carolyn Courtney, Administrative Assistant; and Mrs. Sherwanda Rachel-Speaks, Recreational Specialist. Mrs. Townshend also recognized the part-time employees who help the Pitts Center run successfully, including Ms. Katie Burns and Ms. Connie Dickerson (Building Supervisors) and Ms. Hollie Dee and Ms. Amy Webb, (Service Center Clerks), who were not present at the meeting. Mrs. Townshend reviewed a presentation, entitled “City of Dover Recreation,” highlighting the City’s recreation programs. She advised members that the Recreation Division was faced with a number of challenges in maintaining its budget and increasing revenue. She acknowledged that recreation programs are typically not entirely self-supporting; however, she noted that the City’s program was approximately 20% self-supporting, whereas Newark’s program (the only comparable program in the area) was 50% self-supporting. Mrs. Townshend stated that the department was evaluating the revenue structure and fees and looking for ways to boost revenue. Some ideas that were presented included adding age 18+ drop-in basketball for a fee, offering birthday party packages, establishing a surcharge for non-residents or a discount for residents, starting a wellness program (which would include programs for healthy cooking, fitness trails, etc.), and incorporating bike safety into the programming. She noted that staff attempted to cut costs by discontinuing its newsletter; however, this proved detrimental and was reinstated in August. Mrs. Townshend indicated that a Facebook page for the Center had been established. She explained that the summer months bring a lull to the usage of the Pitts Center due to the lack of air conditioning; however, during the winter months it is in high demand. Mrs. Townshend advised members that Mr. Koenig has made rectifying this situation a priority because it presents a challenge when the Center is shut down during summer months due to high temperatures. Mrs. Townshend stated that staff would hold an all-day brainstorming and idea-sharing event on September 14, 2012 to look for ways to bridge the revenue gap by expanding on current offerings. Mr. Bonar thanked Mrs. Townshend and her staff and expressed the Committee’s support and appreciation for their efforts.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 11 No further action was taken by the Committee regarding this matter. UPDATES The following updates were provided to members: Planning and Funding for New Library Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the Library was 10 days from completion and would open on time, with the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony scheduled for Thursday, September 20, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Mr. Koenig advised members that Governor Jack Markell, members of Kent County Levy Court, and members of City Council would be in attendance, among others. Mr. Koenig acknowledged that the State of Delaware Division of Libraries had been assisting with setting up the computers and preparing for the opening. CDBG Program Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the Status of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projects for FY 2011/2012. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell absent). Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Committee's report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and unanimously carried. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on September 10, 2012 with Chairman Lynn presiding. Transfer of Street Light Accounting to Electric Fund Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed correspondence received from Ms. Emilie Ninan, City of Dover Bond Counsel, dated August 24, 2012. She explained that it was the opinion of the Bond Counsel that attempting to charge for street lights through the Electric Fund could run the City in default of the bonds. Ms. Ninan recommended that the City transfer additional funds from the Electric Fund, rather than charging individual customers for all of the street lights in the City of Dover. In response to Mr. Lynn’s question regarding the legality of charging through the Electric Fund, Mrs. Mitchell stated that it was the opinion of the Bond Counsel that the City would risk running in default of the Bond Covenants. Mrs. Mitchell explained that Ms. Ninan’s correspondence indicated that the City could not provide for free electric in the Electric Fund and could be in default of bond covenants if this were attempted. Mrs. Mitchell expressed her preference that the City use the electric transfer rather than a surcharge for street lights.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 12 Mr. Lynn informed members that, during the Special Council Meeting - Budget Review session held on May 30, 2012, he proposed moving the street lights out of the General Fund into the Electric Fund to “free up” approximately $1M from the General Fund, thus reducing the budget deficits projected for the out years. Mr. Lynn questioned if Mrs. Mitchell knew how the municipalities of Newark, Milford, Smyrna, New Castle, Seaford, Middletown, Clayton, and Lewes handle this issue. In response, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she contacted Smyrna, Middletown, and Newark but had not yet received a response from Newark. She stated that Smyrna allows the Electric Fund to absorb the street lights and does not charge the General Fund for the street lights or any municipal electric. Middletown has free meters, but this is not charged to individual departments or to the General Fund; the transfer is reduced by that amount. However, she stated that Smyrna and Middletown have no bond covenant restrictions because they are a part of Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation, Inc. (DEMEC); therefore, their bonds are covered through DEMEC, separate from the government. She explained that DEMEC is similar to an electric co-op; therefore, there are no bond covenants that restrict how electricity is charged. In response to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Mitchell stated that if the City were to be in default of the bond covenants, a suit could be filed by the bondholders and the City would have to pay the bonds. Mr. Hare stated that he would prefer to wait to make a recommendation on this item until information could be provided by the other six (6) municipalities. In response to Mr. Rushe, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she was unsure what municipalities the Bond Counsel consulted, although they were out of their client base. She indicated that Ms. Ninan discussed this matter with other attorneys to determine if they knew of any other municipalities using this method of allocation. Mr. Leary expressed his thought that when credible opinions are received that indicate that the City may be running the risk of default on bonds, the discussion should stop. With heightened scrutiny from bond rating agencies, he stated his opinion that too much discussion of this issue was probably not a good thing. Although members relayed their desire to reach out to the other municipalities to determine how they handle this issue, it was Mr. Leary’s opinion that an equal comparison could not be made and he felt that this was a moot point. Mr. Perza thanked Mrs. Mitchell for following up on this issue and expressed his concurrence with Mr. Leary’s statement. The Committee recommended acceptance of the recommendation of the Bond Counsel to use the provisions of 507A(e) of the resolution to transfer necessary funds to the general fund, (since) trying to get a general fund expense paid out of the electric fund in a different way runs the risk of bondholders claiming an event of default has occurred under the resolution and, ultimately, could result in acceleration of the bonds.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 13 During the Council meeting, Mr. Anderson expressed concern regarding the lack of specificity in the correspondence provided by Bond Counsel. He stated that other municipalities do what is being proposed and he would like to see what specific provisions would be violated and how. Noting that there was no rush to make a decision, Mr. Anderson suggested inviting Bond Counsel to come and address their questions. Mr. Anderson moved to table the matter and invite Bond Counsel to address this matter at a future meeting, seconded by Mr. Lynn. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, stated that there would be a fee for Bond Counsel to attend the meeting. She suggested that Bond Counsel was being questioned because they advised that the City would “run the risk" of a claim of default and an acceleration of the bonds instead of stating their opinion absolutely. Mr. Anderson reiterated his concerns about not being able to obtain answers to his questions. With regard to the practice of other municipalities, Mr. Leary stated that Revenue and General Obligation bonds are completely different from the bonds being discussed. The motion to table the matter and invite Bond Counsel to address this matter at a future meeting failed by a roll call vote of six (6) no (Perza, Bonar, Williams, Hare, Hutchison, and Leary) and two (2) yes (Anderson and Lynn) (Mrs. Russell absent). Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried, with Mr. Anderson voting no. Reduced Rates for All-Electric Homes in December, January, and February During the Open Forum Segment of the April 9, 2012 City Council Meeting, Mr. Ted George, 77 Billings Drive, requested that members consider providing an electric rate discount during the months of December, January, and February for those customers with all-electric homes. During the Regular Council Meeting of July 9, 2012, City Council approved the recommendation of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee that the proposal to reduce electric rates for all- electric homes be referred to staff for cost analysis and review. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a memorandum regarding Reduced Rates for All-Electric Homes in December, January, and February dated September 4, 2012. He stated that he understood the interest in such a program, but that he could not support the request based on the current market conditions related to the City's Electric Utility. Mr. Koenig noted that the City’s rate structure does not afford for this special classification of residential customers and the added staff burdens would not be beneficial to the remaining customers. Mr. Shevock moved to not provide reduced rates for all-electric homes, as recommended by staff, seconded by Mr. Rushe and, by a vote of two (2) yes (Rushe and Shevock) and two (2) no (Hare and Lynn), the motion failed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 14 Mr. Hare stated that he was not opposed to the idea but requested more in depth information because he believed that there are a lot of people who heat with electric but use gas in their homes as well. He stated his opinion that this reduction should only be considered for City residents. In response to Mr. Shevock’s question regarding what constitutes an all-electric home, Mr. Koenig explained that determining this was part of the problem, since the current billing system does not distinguish between customers who have all-electric versus partial electric homes; therefore, staff would have to conduct investigations of all of these homes to determine if the customer would qualify for such a program. He expressed his belief that the City could not offer the reduction to only in-City customers, since the City has a uniform electric rate for all of its service territories, and offering the program to in-City customers would require distinguishing between that classification. He stated that, to his knowledge, the customer who requested consideration of this item was not an in-City customer. Mr. Hare suggested, if this were approved, that customers would apply in the same manner that property owners apply for a tax exemption. The burden would be placed on each applicant to prove they have an all-electric home. If a cost were incurred because a member of staff was required to inspect the home, the customer would incur that cost to obtain the exemption. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that staff could create such a program if this was Council’s desire; however, he cautioned that when a house is built, there is no guarantee that conditions will remain the same because of renovations or changes in technology, noting that people “chase the market.” He stated that market conditions have changed since the origin of this concept; therefore, this would not be a one-time issue but would need to be updated occasionally. Mr. Hare stated his opinion that the program would not include a rate reduction; rather, customers would be required to apply and, based on square footage or the appropriate measurement, they would qualify for a credit during the three (3) specified months, and customers would have to reapply each year. Responding to Mr. Koenig, Mr. Hare confirmed that he was suggesting a program similar to the tax exemption program. He stated his feeling that this was an issue of fairness, since there are a number of people who have lived in Dover for many years and were told that they would have this opportunity, which was then taken away. Mr. Lynn concurred with Mr. Hare; however, he understood the reasons behind Mr. Koenig’s position as stated in the memo, due to staff resources being stretched so thin. However, he stated that he would like to see a more in-depth analysis to determine the cost, although he realized that it may be impossible to quantify how many houses would be affected by such a program at this point. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that this could be quantified, but it would take a lot of “guess work.” Mr. Hare moved that the proposal to reduce electric rates for all-electric homes be referred back to staff for a more in-depth analysis, seconded by Mr. Lynn. Mr. Shevock requested, if the proposal were referred back to staff, that staff determine the cost for the City to administer such a program (including whether an additional employee would be necessary) and the number of houses that would be involved, and provide a cost analysis to

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 15 determine whether the program would be cost effective for the City, based on the additional cost to the City versus the savings that would be realized by the customers. Mr. Hare expressed his opinion that a new employee should not be hired; rather, the City could contract out inspections and the applicant could incur the expense. Mr. Hare and Mr. Lynn agreed to amend the motion to include Mr. Shevock’s request. The Committee recommended that the proposal to reduce electric rates for all-electric homes be referred back to staff for a more in-depth analysis, and that staff determine the cost for the City to administer such a program (including whether an additional employee would be necessary) and the number of houses that would be involved, and provide a cost analysis to determine whether the program would be cost effective for the City, based on the additional cost to the City versus the savings that would be realized by the customers. By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell absent). Discussion - Renaming of Division Street as Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard Mr. Lynn thanked members of the public for their attendance and interest. Mr. Lynn stated that the proposal to change the name of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard had been under discussion for some time and that this issue was brought to his attention by the efforts of Mayor Carey as well as Senator Brian Bushweller. Mr. Lynn expressed his concern with the current Code requirement that individuals must circulate a petition to secure the signatures of various land owners in order to begin the process of changing the name of a street. He stated that concerned citizens who want to change the name of a street could put hours of leg work and time in, and then come before Council and have the request “shot down” and have to start all over. He did not wish supporters to spend hours of time if their request would not garner the support that it needs. Mr. Lynn stated that this was a two (2) part question; 1) should the City of Dover have a Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, and (if so); 2) where it should be located. He felt that Division Street should be renamed Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Mr. Lynn stated that in conversations with Mr. Nicholas Rodriguez, City Solicitor, Mr. Rodriguez opined that City Council could circumvent the petition portion of the street name change ordinance, since it was well within the City’s purview to change the name of its own streets. Rather than having this group work to complete a petition, it was Mr. Lynn’s thought to “just get it done,” since this was an important issue that needed to be addressed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 16 Mr. Shevock questioned which sections of Division Street would be renamed. Responding, Mr. Hare stated that it was his understanding that the request was for the renaming to extend from Route 13 to Saulsbury Road. Mr. Hare stated that he did not have a problem with the proposal but suggested another opportunity for public comment. He stated his opinion that this was an issue that was long overdue. He was aware that the community had previously discussed the possibility of renaming College Road; however, he was uncertain why that was not pursued. Mr. Shevock questioned the ramifications this would have on the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) since Route 8 is a State road through the City. Responding, Senator Brian Bushweller stated that his office had contacted DelDOT regarding this specific question and DelDOT staff confirmed that the naming of streets in a City was up to the City and they have no role in this issue since the area in question is within the City limits. Mr. Hare stated that the road would still be considered Route 8, as DuPont Highway is considered Route 13, and Senator Bushweller confirmed that the route markings would remain the same. Mr. Shevock questioned who would be responsible for handling address numbering changes. Responding, Senator Bushweller stated that there are address numbering issues involved in a street renaming, for example, the 911 Center would have to be reprogrammed so that the correct address shows up when a call is received. Mr. Shevock stated that his concern was in regard to the post office refusing to deliver mail that was not properly addressed, which reportedly occurred in Sussex County. Senator Bushweller could not offer any guarantees but stated that he would be happy to be a part of the process in making sure that similar problem does not occur in Dover. Senator Bushweller thanked Mr. Lynn for introducing this issue and allowing for public discussion. He stated that he was in attendance to reflect his personal support for the idea of renaming Division Street as Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. He expressed his opinion that Martin Luther King, Jr. became a seminal figure in the development of our Constitutional republic and espoused the need for all Americans to enjoy the same rights, liberties, involvements, and access. He firmly believed that the capital city of the Delaware should have a street named after Martin Luther King, Jr. and stated that he had not heard from anyone who disagreed with that notion. It was his opinion that, given the significance of Martin Luther King, Jr. to our country, the street selected should be a significant street in the City, and as Division Street is located in the center of the City, he believed it to be a good choice. He indicated that his staff confirmed with the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs and the Delaware Public Archives that there is no significant historical element to the name Division Street in Dover. Mr. Lynn thanked Senator Bushweller for his support, and expressed his opinion that changing the name from Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard symbolically carries great weight, and that simply changing the word “division” to recognize someone who preached unity was in and of itself symbolically powerful.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 17 Mayor Carey concurred with Senator Bushweller’s comments and expressed the importance of renaming Division Street. He reminded those present of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s concerns regarding education, and noted the presence of Booker T. Washington Elementary School, Central Middle School, Wesley College, and Elizabeth W. Murphey School in this area. He stated that this proposal meant a lot to the community and stated his support. Mr. Lynn thanked Mayor Carey for his efforts regarding this matter. Mr. Bonar felt that this change should have been accomplished 34 years ago. He noted that this roadway also encompasses East Division Street and Forrest Avenue within the City limits, and Forrest Avenue would soon be home to Dover High School, which is another plus from the educational standpoint of Dr. King’s views. He stated that his initial reaction was not quite 100% enthusiastic because he would rather see Legislative Avenue renamed Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue since that is where the laws of this State are made and, in his opinion, Dr. King had the greatest impact on social change and government in our country. However, given the fact that there has been discussion on changing Division Street, it was his suggestion that East Division Street and Forrest Avenue be included, from one end of the City to the other. He voiced his support for such a proposal. Mr. Leary expressed his agreement with Mr. Lynn’s opening comments and indicated he was heartened to see so many people in the Council Chambers for such an important subject. He requested that the Committee’s motion encompass ample opportunity for public input. On behalf of the Dover Human Relations Commission, Mr. Roy Sudler, Jr., Chairman, 57 Tallowick Lane, Dover, expressed support for the renaming Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. As a Fourth District constituent, Mr. Sudler expressed his hope that City Council would unanimously vote to make this change in the near future. Reverend Michael Rogers, President, Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (Dover vicinity), 118 Springfield Way, Dover, thanked the Mayor, Senator Bushweller, and Councilman Lynn for the opportunity to address this matter. He stated that this proposal had been discussed throughout the community for a long time, beginning with Pastor Rudolph Coleman, Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, Dover, who initiated it between ten and fifteen years ago. He thanked members of the Committee for their comments and support and stated that this was an issue that he wanted to see come to fruition. Reverend Rogers informed members that the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, the Churches Association, and many groups from within the community have held several forums over the course of the past few months and asked that members call on them if there is anything they could do to move this matter forward. Mr. Lynn thanked Reverend Rogers and Nelson Hill, President, White Oak/Towne Point Civic Association for bringing this matter to his attention during his attendance at a White Oak/Towne Point Community Outreach meeting. Representative Donald Blakey, 956 Bison Road, Dover, Delaware, congratulated members for considering changing street that currently bears the name Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 18 Boulevard. He explained that dramatic changes had occurred in Dover since he moved here in the early 1950s, and that with this street name change, there may be a reversal in the character of the area, which he stated would be a “real bonus.” Mr. William T. Wilson, 838 Forest Street, Dover, expressed the honor he felt to be present. He stated that he had witnessed many changes in the City of Dover during his lifetime and faced trials and tribulations in regard to segregation, and was proud to hear the Committee “speak up” for renaming Division Street Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Mr. Fred Tolbert, Vice Chairman, City of Dover Planning Commission, 35 Karen Place, expressed his full support for the renaming of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, and read a statement into the record, as follows: The uniquely significant achievements of Reverend Martin Luther King has been acknowledged and memorialized with great pride around the world, including a Pulitzer Peace Prize. A large number of American cities and states have elected to memorialize the accomplishments of Reverend Martin Luther King and his leadership of the civil rights struggle. Unfortunately, the City of Dover, Delaware has not attempted to recognize the meaning of the civil rights struggle and Reverend Martin L. King’s success, until this time, with leading America toward recognizing the real meaning of civil rights and equality. Dover, Delaware is the capital city of the First State and, as such, it should provide leadership for the State in the areas of governance, equality, and democratic beliefs and practices. The fact, to date, that the City of Dover has not officially recognized the accomplishments of Reverend Martin Luther King is unquestionably an unacceptable blemish on its record and should be corrected as quickly as possible, as this Committee is attempting to do. The renaming a portion of Division Street to honor the name of Reverend Martin Luther King is a very small way to honor such an internationally known hero and civil rights leader. In reality, it would be significantly more appropriate to name the new Dover library after Martin Luther King and/or to erect a memorial to him in a prominent place such as: 1) the front of the new library, 2) on Loockerman Street on the islands in front of City Hall, or 3) on The Green. These suggestions are offered not as an alternative to renaming Division Street but in addition to renaming Division Street. The action that Dover City Council takes on this issue is most important to all residents of the City and it will send a positive message to all that Dover, Delaware is finally approaching an area of progressive thinking that will be most beneficial to the City and all of its inhabitants. Pastor Richard Avant, Calvary Baptist Church; President Emeritus of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance; and longstanding member of the Dover community, shared that his heart was lifted to see such support for this proposal from members of the Committee as well as the community. In reference to Mr. Hare’s earlier comments, he explained that Mayor Carey researched and developed the “College Road concept” which was discussed by members of the community; however, a consensus was reached that, due to the history involved in the naming of College Road, a different road should be selected in recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr. He stated that he was

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 19 overwhelmed by the support shown by Senator Bushweller, Representative Blakey, and Mayor Carey, and that he would like to see this street renaming accomplished during his lifetime. Mr. Theodore A. Hendricson, retired Air Force Lieutenant, shared a brief history regarding the freeing of slaves in Delaware. Mr. Lynn acknowledged that, due to a prior obligation, Mr. Rushe had to excuse himself from the meeting but he asked Mr. Lynn to share his support for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and that, pursuant to his own research, he found that as of 2009, there were at least 730 cities, spanning 39 states, which had a Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Dr. Wilma Mishoe, 353 Rita-Wilma Road, Dover, stated that she was glad to see such support in the audience from members of the Dover community. On behalf of herself and her sister, Reverend Rita Paige, she stated that she agreed with the comments of those who preceded her at the podium and was overjoyed by the opportunity that City Council had to write a new chapter in the history of Dover. She thanked the members of the Committee for their consideration. Mr. Kenneth Roach, 816 Slaughter Street, Dover, stated that he was born and raised in Dover, Delaware and was overjoyed by the outpouring of community support for this proposal. He explained that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “brought people together” and was always one of his heroes. He expressed his opinion that it was a great injustice that the capital of the First State did not have a street named after Martin Luther King, Jr. Mr. Roach thanked members of the Committee for their consideration of this matter. Mr. Hare moved to recommend that a public hearing regarding this matter be set for Monday, October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m., seconded by Mr. Lynn. Mr. Bonar requested that the language for the renaming of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard include Division Street from “City limit to City limit.” The Committee recommended that a public hearing regarding the renaming of Division Street as Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard be set for Monday, October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. and that the language for the renaming of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard include Division Street from “City limit to City limit.” Mr. Lynn moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar. Mr. Anderson stated that he supported the renaming of Division Street; however, he was concerned about the change made by the Committee to include Division Street from "city limit to city limit" instead of the requested renaming from Route 13 to Saulsbury Road. He noted that he had heard no objections from the Division Street area; however, he had heard a number of concerns from the Forrest Avenue area and suggested that the revision be revisited. Mr. Bonar recommended that it be decided after the public hearing was held.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 20 Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, outlined the six (6) step process for renaming a street, as specified in Chapter 98 of the Dover Code of Ordinances. She noted that the process starts when a petition is received; the request is reviewed by the Development Advisory Committee (DAC) and a staff report is developed for Planning Commission review. The Utility Committee then reviews the request for a recommendation to City Council. City Council then sets and subsequently holds a public hearing and takes final action. Mrs. Townshend indicated that she had requested the DAC to review the proposal and would include those comments in the packet for the October 8, 2012 City Council meeting. The motion for approval of the Committee's recommendation that a public hearing regarding the renaming of Division Street as Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard be set for Monday, October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. and that the language for the renaming of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard include Division Street from "City limit to City limit" was unanimously carried. Mr. Lynn moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. Meeting recessed at 8:40 p.m. and reconvened at 8:46 p.m. MONTHLY REPORTS - JULY 2012 By motion of Mrs. Williams, seconded by Mr. Bonar, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: Budget Capital Investment Plan (CIP) ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT - ENGINEERING DESIGN OF WASTEWATER FACILITIES - GARRISON FARM SUBDIVISION Pennoni is currently one of three (3) approved consulting engineers with which the City of Dover has entered into an agreement of professional services. In order to meet the wastewater demands of the proposed Garrison Farm Subdivision, wastewater facilities upgrades need to take place. The proposal can be divided into four (4) separate tasks: 1. Design of a wastewater pump station on the Garrison Farm Subdivision. 2. Analysis and design of upgrading existing force main and gravity sewer main from the Garrison Farm Subdivision to the White Oak Farms Pump Station (Pump Station #5). 3. Analysis of existing White Oak Farms Pump Station (Pump Station #5) and design necessary upgrades to properly convey the increased flow from the Garrison Farm Subdivision. 4. Abandonment of the White Oak Road Pump Station (Pump Station #14). Each task has an estimated cost, the estimates are based on limited knowledge of the facilities, site visits and surveying will provide proper information to better define the upgrades necessary. The

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 21 proposal cost is reflective of a "worse-case scenario" with each task. It is possible that the cost for design could be reduced. Pennoni is well versed with the City’s wastewater pump station requirements, as they have designed multiple pump stations throughout the system. With Council approval, Pennoni will produce bid documents for this project for the City of Dover to publicly advertise and bid. This design will take into consideration the overall subdivision plan and water main layout provided by Becker Morgan Group. Due to the purchasing policy, this work could not be accomplished by Becker Morgan Group because they are not one of the three (3) consulting engineers that have entered into an agreement of professional service. Staff recommended authorizing Pennoni to produce Invitation to Bid Documents in an amount not to exceed $365,000. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Anderson, Perza, Bonar, Williams, Hutchison, and Leary), one (1) no (Lynn), and two (2) absent (Russell and Hare). ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT - ENGINEERING DESIGN OF ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK - GARRISON FARM SUBDIVISION URS is currently one of three (3) approved consulting engineers with which the City of Dover has entered into an agreement of professional services. In order to meet the hydraulic demands of the proposed Garrison Farm Subdivision, a new 1.5 million gallon elevated water storage tank is required. URS is currently designing a separate elevated water storage tank for the City of Dover at a different location; therefore, they have proper knowledge of City requirements in regard to the water distribution system. With Council approval, URS will produce Design-Build Request for Proposal (RFP) Bid Documents for the City of Dover to publicly advertise and bid. This RFP would take into consideration the overall subdivision plan and water main layout provided by Becker Morgan Group. Due to the purchasing policy, this work could not be accomplished by Becker Morgan Group, because they are not one of the three (3) consulting engineers that have entered into an agreement of professional service. Staff recommended authorizing URS to produce a "Design-Build RFP" in the amount of $49,000. Mrs. Williams moved for approval of staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Anderson, Perza, Bonar, Williams, Hare, Hutchison, and Leary), one (1) no (Lynn), and one (1) absent (Russell). FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2012-05 The First Reading of the proposed ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of September 10, 2012. Mrs. Williams moved that the Final Reading of Proposed Ordinance #2012-05 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2012-05, which would amend Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection and Appendix F - Fees and Fines to clarify existing

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 22 language and create new subsections which would make it unlawful for any person to tamper with or impair any fire protection system from operating as designed; specify the authority of the fire marshal; prohibit open burning, commercial barbecuing, and outdoor fireplaces to be unattended at any time and authorize the fire marshal, code official, fire officer, or police to order the open burning extinguished; and remove the requirement for fire alarm installation reports. It would also create new sections to address fire hydrants and fire department connections; the report of a fire and spreading of alarm; unlawful regulations or orders; maintaining records for inspections; and marking rated walls. Mr. Bonar questioned if the Code should be amended to reflect the name change from Robbins Hose Company to the Dover Fire Department. He suggested that the ordinance be amended to reflect the legal name of the Fire Department, once it is determined. (City Clerk's Office Note: According to Fire Chief Jack Fortney, although the Fire Department operates as the "Dover Fire Department" it has maintained the incorporated name of Robbins Hose Company and all official documents will continue to use the name of Robbins Hose Company.) Mr. Lynn stated that he continued to receive complaints from residents of East Lake Gardens about residential meat smokers and asked if Section 46-5 - Open burning (f) Prohibited (2) Unattended burning could be amended by adding "residential meat smoker." Mrs. Townshend stated that she would be concerned about this change because meat smoking is an all day process, so people would normally be inside and checking on the meat only periodically. Mr. Bonar moved for adoption of the ordinance, amending as necessary to include the Fire Department's corporate title, seconded by Mr. Hutchison. Mr. Lynn moved to amend the motion to include the words “residential meat smoker” in Section 46-5 (f)(2), after commercial barbecuing, seconded by Mr. Anderson. The amendment failed, with Mr. Lynn voting yes. The motion for adoption of the ordinance, amending as necessary to include the Fire Department's corporate title, was carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mrs. Russell absent) and Ordinance #2012-05, was adopted as follows: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection, Article I - In General, Section 46-3 - Impairment of Fire Protection Equipment, be amended to read as follows: Sec. 46-3. - Impairment of fire protection equipment. (a) Prohibited. It shall be a violation of this chapter for any owner, renter, lessor, or contractor, after having been notified, in writing, by the fire marshal or code enforcement officer of any impairment to fire protection equipment, including but not limited to fire hydrants, fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, commercial cooking ventilation and fire suppression systems, standpipes, and smoke removal or pressurization systems, to allow it to remain impaired for

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 23 any time beyond that allowed by the fire marshal for repair. For the purposes of this section, the term "impairment" means any effective lessening of the equipment to operate as designed, including times of maintenance and annual testing. (b) Impairment of fire protection systems. All fire protection systems, devices, units, and service equipment shall be maintained in an operational condition at all times, and it shall be unlawful for any person owning, controlling, or otherwise having charge of any fire protection system to willfully or knowingly tamper with or impair the system from operating as designed without proper approval. An approval form may be obtained from the fire marshal’s office. Approvals will not be required for temporary impairments caused by periodic testing and inspection. Any impairment which will render the system non- operational or out of service for more than eight hours for testing and inspection purposes must be approved prior to the start of work. (c) Notification required. The owner, tenant, or contractor shall notify the Robbins Hose Company of any impaired fire protection equipment, and shall renotify the Robbins Hose Company when the fire protection equipment has been restored to normal service. Certification from the repairing contractor shall be required to verify that the system has been fixed and is functioning as designed. (d) Fire watch required. When any impairment would cause a sprinkler system not to operate or a fire alarm system not to detect and signal a fire, and if the building is to remain occupied, a fire watch shall be established in that building or that portion of a building affected. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or tenant to set up the fire watch. The fire watch shall consist of an hourly check of the building or portion of the building affected, and a log kept, there stating the date, time of the checks, and who was making the checks.

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 October 8, 2012 Proposal: Proposal to change the street name of Division Street (Route 8) from City limit to City limit to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard 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: Route 8 corridor encompassing the following street names along the segment: Forrest Avenue, Forest Street, West Division Street, East Division Street, Kings Highway, and North Little Creek Road Proposed Street Name: Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard File Number: MI-12-23 MI-12-23 Proposal for Street Name Change: Division Street (Route 8) to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard – The proposal is to rename the entire Division Street (Route 8) corridor which crosses west to east through the City of Dover (City limit to City limit). The new street name proposed is Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. See the attached Exhibit Map of the Route 8 corridor. The City of Dover Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee (LF&A) recently discussed this proposal for the renaming of Division Street as Martin Luther King Boulevard. The following is an excerpt from the September 10, 2012 LF&A minutes pertaining to the Proposal for Street Renaming: Mr. Hare moved to recommend that a public hearing be set for Monday, October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m., seconded by Mr. Lynn. Mr. Bonar requested that the language for the renaming of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard include Division Street from “City limit to City limit.” Mr. Hare moved to amend the motion to recommend that a public hearing be set for Monday, October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. and that the language for the renaming of Division Street to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard include Division Street from “City limit to City limit,” seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried. By action of City Council on September 24, 2012, the recommendation of the Legislative Finance & Administration Committee was adopted and a Public Hearing regarding the Renaming of Division Street as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was set for Monday, October 8, 2012.

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) Prepared September 28, 2012 Page 2 of 7 Street Name Change Procedure As it has been initiated by City Council, this 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. Route 8 Corridor The Route 8 corridor passes west to east through the City of Dover. Along the length of the Route 8 corridor in the City there are six street names: Forrest Avenue, Forest Street, West Division Street, East Division Street, Kings Highway, and North Little Creek Road. The road designated as Route 8 also continues in both directions leading away from the City of Dover through Kent County. To the west it continues as Forrest Avenue and Halltown Road then terminates at the Delaware/Maryland border in Marydel becoming Maryland Road 454. To the east it continues as North Little Creek Road intersecting with Delaware Route 9 (Bayside Drive) at Little Creek, Delaware. The street right-of-way for the Route 8 corridor is owned and maintained by the State of Delaware. To assist in compiling information and comments about specific areas of the Route 8 corridor in the City of Dover, the following segments have been identified. See chart below and the attached Exhibit Maps (Overall Map and Maps of each segment). Route 8 Current Street Names in Route 8 Location Segment Segment A Western City Limits at Artis Drive to Saulsbury Forrest Avenue Road B Saulsbury Road to State Street Forest Street West Division Street C State Street to DuPont Highway (Route 13) East Division Street Kings Highway D DuPont Highway (Route 13) to eastern City East Division Street limits at Long Point Road North Little Creek Road 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 road names in the Route 8 corridor would require additional research;

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) Prepared September 28, 2012 Page 3 of 7 however, some basic information is provided. The street name of Kings Highway is derived from references to the “King’s Road” which in colonial times ran from Lewes to Philadelphia. On historical maps readily available to the Planning Office, the name Division Street is shown on the 1859 Map of Kent County published by A.D. Byles. In the 1800’s, Division Street was the northern limits of the Town (City). At the time, the area to the north of Division Street and other areas surrounding the Town (City) was rural farmland or woodland held by multiple large landowners. By the mid-1800’s these landowner were dividing their land to establish lots and streets thus expanding the developed urban area of the Town (City). For example in 1869, one owner Cecil C. Fulton Jr. divides his “Belle Mary” farm on the north side of Division Street into a series of lots and the gridded street network in the North Governors Avenue area (Fulton’s Addition). Action of Town (City) Council in 1880 to number the houses established State Street as a dividing line for the West and East segments of streets and established Division Street to serve as the dividing line for the North and South segments of streets (now referenced in Dover Code of Ordinances, Article VIII, Section 98-342). Summary Information The following chart summarizes the properties along this Route 8 corridor. For purposes of this evaluation all properties on both sides of the corridor (both properties in the City and properties in Kent County) were included to the extent of the City of Dover incorporated limits. This is to create logical break points for changes in street naming where the properties on one side of the road may be within the City of Dover and properties on the opposite side are not. For this example evaluation, the Route 8 corridor evaluated commences at the City limits at Artis Drive and continues to the City limits at Long Point Road on the east. Information on each segment is presented in the chart.

Here are some key points from the Chart about the Route 8 corridor: Segments A and D include properties located in Kent County.

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) Prepared September 28, 2012 Page 4 of 7 Segments B and C include only properties within the City of Dover. 373 properties abut the Route 8 corridor (Segments A-D) 580 addresses occur along the Route 8 corridor (Segments A-D) The number of addresses is higher than the number of properties due to the existence of parcels with multiple buildings tenant spaces such a shopping centers, multi-family units, and mixed use buildings. Corridor is a mix of residential and non-residential properties City owned properties along the corridor include parks and electric substations. Street Naming Guidelines The proposed Street Name requested is Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard for the Route 8 corridor through 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 Delaware Route 8 and all its alternative names is considered an urban minor arterial. Thus, the use of the street term “Boulevard” would be appropriate. The directional prefix of “West” and “East” will be required for the street name under the provisions for the numbering of properties (Dover Code of Ordinances, Article VIII – Numbering of Buildings). Technical Review of Street Name Change 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 September 26, 2012 to discuss the street name change proposal. The written comments from the following Department and agencies were received in regards to this proposal and its implementation. See list below and attachments:

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) Prepared September 28, 2012 Page 5 of 7 o City of Dover Electric and Public Works Departments (Water, Wastewater, Streets, Stormwater, Sanitation, Grounds) o City Assessor o Dover Police Department o Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) o Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) o Kent County 911 Addressing Section o DNREC Sediment & Stormwater Program Implications of Street Name Change There are a number of implications to consider regarding this street name change. The following items are summarized. City vs. County Jurisdiction: Within the identified Route 8 corridor, there are enclaves of properties that are located in the unincorporated area of Kent County and other areas where one side of the street is in the City and the other is in the County. There are questions about how a street name change by the City of Dover would affect these properties under Kent County’s jurisdiction. Kent County has its own procedures for street renaming. Number of properties/addresses involved: For the Route 8 corridor, at least 373 properties (estimated 580 addresses) will be affected. Awareness: A significant number of properties and addresses along the Route 8 corridor will be directly affected by the street name change; however, they may not even be aware of the proposal for the change. Notice to individual property owners of this proposal has not occurred. The only notice of the proposal has been through the meeting agendas and a newspaper advertisement on September 30, 2012 announcing the Public Hearing. Costs: Implementation of the street name change will involve both hard costs and soft costs to the City and potentially other agencies. The property owners affected by the name change will also have costs. Address Numbering: The street name change will also involve the renumbering of the building numbers as the currently building numbering is not consecutive through the length of the corridor as the various named street segments have their own series of numbers (address ranges). Also the distinction of West and East of State Street will affect numbering of properties. Code and Document References: There are a number of references throughout the Dover Code of Ordinances including in the Zoning Ordinance which include Division Street. It is also expected that various other policy and procedure documents for the City also reference Division Street. Mapping: As a street name, Division 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.

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) Prepared September 28, 2012 Page 6 of 7 There are a number of code references to “Division 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 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 Chapter 98, Article VIII Numbering of Buildings o Appendix C: Downtown Redevelopment o Appendix B: Zoning, Article 3, Section 27 Corridor Overlay Zone (COZ-1) 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. 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. The Planning Office notes that portions of Route 8 between the City’s east and west boundaries lie outside of the City in unincorporated Kent County. To avoid confusion, City Council may want to consider reducing the portion of the road where the name would be changed to encompass the area bounded on the west by Saulsbury Road and on the east by U.S. Route 13 (Segments B and C on the Exhibit Map), as these segments do not include properties in unincorporated Kent County and therefore would not lead to confusion over jurisdiction between the City of Dover and Kent County. 2. Staff recommends that if the street name change is approved by City Council that an effective date of January 1, 2013 be set. This will give the affected agencies time to make the necessary operational changes and for notification of property owners. 3. As part of the Development Advisory Committee process, a series of City, County, and

Summary Report on Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) Prepared September 28, 2012 Page 7 of 7 State agencies were notified of the street name change request. Any comments received regarding the request are attached to this report. 4. Upon approval of the street name change, notification of appropriate City, County, and State agencies will be completed by the City of Dover. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. Upon approval of the street name and assignment of a street number, 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.

Excerpt from Dover Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98, Article II, Section 98-45 Street name change procedure: Sec. 98-45. - Street name change procedure. Recognizing that changing the name of a city street already named is a complicated and expensive procedure affecting many departments and many persons, the following procedure is adopted: (1) Petition. In order to initiate the procedure for changing the name of an existing street, a petition or other formal request must be received from a majority of the property owners abutting on the street in question, which documentation must be submitted to the city clerk for further processing. The city clerk shall verify with the city assessor that the requirements of a majority of the owners has been met. If the petition or other documentation does not meet this requirement, then the request shall be summarily dismissed by the city clerk and the person or persons presenting such request shall be notified. (2) Comments to committee. Once the requirements of subsection (1) of this section have been met, the city clerk shall refer the request to the development advisory committee (DAC) to obtain comments of all involved parties, specifically including the police department, fire department, public works department, department of planning and inspections, city assessor, and city manager. The response from the DAC shall be submitted to the city clerk. In considering the request for the name change, the DAC is specifically directed to consider appendix A to this Code (article VI, section A) regarding the naming of new streets. (3) Planning commission review. The city clerk shall refer the petition and the DAC comments directly to the planning commission for its review and recommendation regarding the request. Once considered by the planning commission, its recommendation shall be returned to the city clerk. No public hearing is required before the planning commission and the planning commission shall recommend approval of the change of name or disapproval of the change of name, along with its reasons. (4) Utility committee review. Once the planning commission's recommendation is received by the city clerk, then the recommendation and the entire file, including the request and the DAC comments, shall be submitted to the utility committee for review and recommendation directly to the council. (5) Notice of hearing. Once the council receives the recommendations from the utility committee, a public hearing shall be scheduled for a regular council meeting regarding the request, and notice of the public hearing shall be given by the city clerk by placing such notice in one edition of a local newspaper, to be published at least ten days prior to the date of the public hearing before the city council. (6) Council hearing. The council shall hear public comments at the public hearing and shall also receive the comments of the planning commission and the utility committee, and shall, at the conclusion of the public hearing, vote to approve the change of name or to disapprove the change of name. An affirmative vote to change the name shall require an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all persons elected to the council. If the change of name is granted, then notification thereof shall be given to the city manager to implement the name change. (Code 1981, § 19-25; Ord. of 7-10-2000)

T HE F OLLOWING I TEMS HAVE BEEN I DENTIFIED AS E LEMENTS W HICH N EED TO BE A DDRESSED BY THE A PPLICANT : ADVISORY COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT ELECTRIC 1. None. WATER 1. Operationally, our water service location cards are labeled with Division Street, N. Little Creek Road, Kings Highway, Forrest Avenue and Forest Street. 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 104 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 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. WASTEWATER 1. Operationally, our wastewater jet truck program is set up with Division Street, N. Little Creek Road, Kings Highway, Forrest Avenue and Forest Street. Internal staff would have to revise the paperwork to reflect the proposed changes. Additionally, a fair amount of time will be needed to change the nomenclature throughout the division. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour 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) – 268 labor hours. b. Total cost of materials, including, but not limited to, standards street signs, state signs, overhead state signs (installed less than 3 years ago) and brackets - $8,100. 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.

Proposal for Renaming of Division Street (Route 8) as Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. File #: MI-12-23 September 26, 2012 Page 2 of 2 c. Total cost of police presence at signalized intersection (needed at all crossings when replacing the overhead street signs) - $1,100. 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 2 hours 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 2 hours 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 2 hours 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 2 hours of work should be dedicated to this task. GROUNDS 1. Operationally, our mowing and property maintenance program would need to be updated; this includes, but is not limited to the schedules and new maps. Staff estimates that approximately 2 hours of work should be dedicated to this task. 2. The literature for all park information would also need to be updated and redistributed, which includes website and brochure revisions. Staff estimates that approximately 8 hours of work should be dedicated to this task. GENERAL 1. Our Geographic Information System (GIS) would need to be updated, specifically, changing all applicable fields to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Staff estimates that approximately 1 hour of work should be dedicated to this task. 2. Staff believes consideration should be taken for the possibilities of changing address numbers at properties throughout this corridor. Currently, there are multiple street names throughout the proposed location, if the entire road becomes one name, address duplication could be present. 3. In summary, the anticipated total number of man hours that should be dedicated to this proposed change would be 393, which would equate to $12,000. The anticipated external cost would be $9,200. The Department of Public Works estimates the total cost would be $21,200.

Melson-Williams, Dawn From: Stump Tim (Dover PD) <tim.stump@CJ.State.de.us> Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 12:00 PM To: Melson-Williams, Dawn Cc: Bernat Paul (Dover PD); Hosfelt, James; Kober Christina (Dover PD); Cookson Paul Subject: Street Name Change Dawn, It appears after consulting with Patty Virdin, Christina Kober, and Paul Cookson in regard to the street name change, that there are no apparent issues on our end. We contacted “New World”, the manufacturer of our CAD System, and they too said that they did not foresee any issues with the change. They did however cover themselves by saying that they could not be 100% certain. Patty Vidin, our Records Unit Administrator, did suggest, that for simplicity purposes, to make the name change effective from Salisbury Rd. all the way out to the highway so that there are not three or four different street names for sections of that same stretch of road. I would tend to concur with her suggestion. Captain Tim Stump Operations Division Commander Dover Police Department 400 S. Queen St. Dover, DE 19904 Office 302-736-7103 Fax 302-672-1842 1

MEETING DATE: September 26, 2012 T =============================================================== APPLICATION: Proposal for Street Name Change: Division Street (Route 8) to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard 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 DE Route 8 (i.e Forrest Avenue, West Division Street, North Little Creek Road) will need to be changed to the new and proposed name for DE Route 8, including any signs that direct the travelling public to DE Route 8. 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 SR 8, 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.

What are the legal ramifications to impose this address change on those applicable parcels? If the City is bypassing normal procedures, how will this affect the County's ability to enforce something that is subject to its own procedure for renaming streets? -Although our naming standards restrict duplicates or similar names to within the County, we recognize Martin Luther King Boulevard as a prominent name in Wilmington and are opposed to having another similar one in the State.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on September 24, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Perza, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Blakeman and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Council President Leary, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS By unanimous consent, the agenda was approved as presented. Annexation Request - 110 and 136 Rustic Lane, owned by Taililou, LLC Members were provided with the Petition to Annex and Zone Property, as amended, for properties located at 110 and 136 Rustic Lane, owned by Taililou, LLC. 110 Rustic Lane (ED00-057.02-02-38.00-000) consists of 1.118+/- acres and is currently zoned BG - General Business (Kent County). 136 Rustic Lane (ED00-057.02-02-40.00-000) consists of 0.56986+/- acres and is currently zoned RMH - Residential Manufactured Home District (Kent County). The proposed zoning classification for both parcels is C-2A - Limited Central Commercial (City of Dover). Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the properties proposed for annexation have a Comprehensive Plan Designation of Category 1 - High Priority Annexation Areas, and he reviewed information regarding utility availability, as follows: Water: • There is currently an eight-inch (8”) water main that terminates at 58 E. Rustic Lane. To receive water service, the developer/owner of the subject properties must extend the water main to the easternmost property line of 136 East Rustic Lane. Infrastructure must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Dover Water/Wastewater Handbook and DelDOT. • The subject parcels are currently located within Tidewater Utilities Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN). The property owner must follow the appropriate guidelines to allow for transference to the City of Dover’s CPCN. Wastewater: • Currently, there is no City of Dover gravity sanitary sewer service on East Rustic Lane. The closest City of Dover gravity sanitary sewer main is roughly 770 linear feet south of the intersection of East Rustic Lane and Route 13. There is also a one and one quarter inch (1-1/4”) force main located on the east side of Route 13, utilized by WaWa and Sonic, which is now a maintenance responsibility of the City of Dover. • Providing sanitary sewer service to this area has been a long term goal of the Department of Public Works and will continue to be pursued through an out year capital improvement project as options become available to provide sanitary sewer service to the community as a whole.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 2 • Until such time as gravity sanitary sewer service becomes available to the community, the options for service are limited. The owner/developer of the subject properties could perform the following, in accordance with the Water/Wastewater Handbook: < Install approximately 1,531 linear feet of sanitary sewer main (provided gravity flow can be obtained). This option has limited viability as it would be cost-prohibitive to any project and would not be approved by DelDOT for at least five (5) years, as Route 13 was recently repaved. < Utilize grinder pumps and install a force main connection to Route 13. This would become a long term maintenance responsibility for the City of Dover, which is discouraged unless there is a community benefit, as East Rustic Lane is a State road. In addition, the existing force main referenced may be unable to receive any additional contribution and connection in Route 13 would not be approved as noted above. The properties would be required to connect to gravity sanitary sewer when it became available. < The subject properties could continue to use a septic system. This option would only be viable for residential use if also approved by DNREC and adequate space was available. The property would be required to connect to public sewer when it became available. • Due to the information above regarding the wastewater utility, future uses of the subject properties would therefore be limited. Electric: • The subject properties are both located in the City of Dover Electric service territory and have power available across the street. Any new service must meet the requirements of the Electric Service Handbook. Mr. Koenig clarified that water, sanitary sewer, and electric service are available at a relatively high cost but that this cost would be borne by the applicant. Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig confirmed that the properties were currently being served by the City of Dover electric utility. Mrs. Williams moved to recommend adoption of Resolution No. 2012-12 (Attachment #1) setting the annexation referendum for properties located at 110 and 136 Rustic Lane consisting of 1.118+/- acres (110) and 0.56986+/- acres (136), owned by Taililou, Inc., seconded by Mr. Perza and unanimously carried.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 3 Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (July) (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Members reviewed a Project Tracking Report, as of July 31, 2012, for the Utility (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Related Capital Investment Plan. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, noted that the negative balance reflected for funding of the new library in FY11 was due to the timing of receipts for the project. She explained that $1.2M was included in the budget with the expectation that the building would be sold and that the building was not being depreciated or appreciated at this time. In response to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell explained that $1,606,700 of remaining Community Transportation grant funds were transferred to the City’s Street Program, which was an appropriate use for these funds and would facilitate accounting. In response to Mr. Blakeman, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the Unapplied CT Projects line was included in the report as a placeholder in anticipation of the receipt of State grant funds. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig advised members that the West Dover Pump Station project was on hold due to staffing limitations and was scheduled for design later in the year. In response to Mr. Perza, Mr. Koenig noted that an easement for the Tar Ditch Interceptor Upgrade had been requested and this project was scheduled for the Fall of 2012. Referring to Page 5 of the report, Mrs. Mitchell informed members that the Revised Fiscal Year Budget Column reflected carry forward amounts and that staff was working to make sure that funds would be available. She anticipated that a budget amendment would be brought forward in October 2012 which would provide a more visible picture of CIP funding. UPDATES Garrison Oak Technical Park Project Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that during the City Council meeting held on August 13, 2012, Council authorized revisions to the engineering services agreements to finish design of the sewer system and other items related to land planning. He noted that during the meeting scheduled for later in the evening, Council would consider authorizing engineering design agreements for wastewater facilities and an elevated water storage tank. Mr. Koenig stated that air permitting was moving forward and that negotiations were ongoing between White Oak Solar Energy and Calpine. He noted that a filing was submitted in Superior Court on behalf of White Oak Solar Energy against the City of Dover Planning Commission regarding the potential for dust to affect the long-term performance of the solar array. Based on conversations between Mr. Koenig and Mr. Nathan Hanson, LS Power Development, LLC on September 24, 2012, it was expected that this issue would be resolved between White Oak Solar Energy and Calpine.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 4 Responding to Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Koenig stated his belief that negotiations were continuing with PJM regarding access to the grid and that he expected a final document would be issued in the Fall of 2012. He noted that the building permit must be issued in January 2013 in order to meet the auction deadline; therefore, this dispute must be resolved. Sun Park Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed the Dover Sun Park - Budget vs. Actual Report which provided information on costs and revenues for July and August 2012. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig noted that the City planned to budget approximately $300,000 extra each year until the cost of fossil fuel increases to the point where solar energy savings would be realized. Responding to Mr. Snaman, Mrs. Mitchell clarified that $300,000 per year would be allocated for solar energy in addition to the $1.7M currently budgeted. Mr. Koenig noted that the cost of solar panels has decreased rapidly and construction costs have also reduced; therefore, the City was currently paying a premium over fossil fuel and more green energy credits must be purchased to meet requirements. Mrs. Williams requested that members be provided additional information in the subsequent meeting packet including a breakdown of the sources and projections through 2030. Concurring, Mr. Blakeman requested that the graph entitled “City of Dover Electric Fund - Monthly Activity - Sun Park - FY13” be expanded in the future to incorporate specific additional parameters (Attachment #2). In response to Mr. Hare, Mr. Koenig explained that the City of Dover purchases all solar power produced by the facility, which typically does not exceed 10 megawatts. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 5:56 p.m. David L.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on September 24, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Lynn presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:01 p.m.), Mr. Hare, Mr. Rushe, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. Perza (departed at 6:08 p.m.) and Mr. Hutchison. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rushe and unanimously carried. Financing Proposal - Garrision Oak Park Street and Storm Sewer Infrastructure Members were reminded that on February 27, 2012, City Council approved up to $6M of in-kind contributions for the Garrison Farm infrastructure and the related Calpine project. These projects were built into the FY13 Capital Improvement Plan. Staff is working on these projects and will need to have the financing in place when the projects begin. The agenda for the City Council meeting scheduled for later in the evening includes consideration of the approval of related engineering services. The City has approved two (2) major projects for the Garrison Tract that are meeting or will meet future power supply needs for mandated renewable energy requirements and new generation in the City of Dover (and on the Peninsula). In light of these two (2) projects, it was staff’s recommendation to finance the street and storm sewer infrastructure with $2M from the Future Capacity Reserve. Staff suggested that $4M for water/sewer projects be financed with revenue bonds to be paid by the revenues of the Water/Wastewater Fund. In order to minimize cost and required time, staff recommended using a negotiated bid rather than a competitive bid for the revenue bonds. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that she was not yet ready to move forward with the financing; however, she was requesting approval for the proposed method of financing. She stated that, since the future power supply needs for mandated renewable energy requirements will be met with the use of solar energy and there is a likelihood of having a Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) with the Calpine facility for future power supply needs, the Future Capacity Reserve could be utilized rather than issuing $2M dollars of general obligation debt; however, she felt that the water/sewer portion of the project should be financed with revenue bonds. A competitive sale would still be an option; however, Mrs. Mitchell stated she would like authorization to complete a negotiated sale to save time and fees if this were the best approach and the market was favorable. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mrs. Mitchell stated that she was unsure of the revenue interest rate which would be paid; however, she estimated that rates would be in the 3% - 4% range. She stated that the bonds would be sold as tax exempt. Mr. Anderson inquired if the $2M taken from the Future Capacity Reserve would have to be repaid within three (3) years. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that this would not be required if the funds were used for the growth and future of the utility since the Future Capacity Reserve was in the Electric Utility

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 PAGE 2 budget. She further clarified that existing capital would be used to make the improvements in lieu of a bond, which would have to be repaid with interest. Staff recommended that the Garrison Farm improvements be financed using $2M from the Future Capacity Reserve and $4M from negotiated revenue bond financing, with the assistance of the City’s financial advisory firm, Public Financial Management, with the amount borrowed to include the cost of borrowing. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rushe and carried with three (3) yes (Hare, Rushe, Shevock), one (1) no (Lynn), and one (1) abstention (Anderson). Mr. Anderson stated that he was undecided on this issue, as he felt further study was needed. Update on Changes to the Economic Development Office Mayor Carey advised members that changes had been made since the reassignment of the Economic Development Office (EDO) to the Mayor’s Office on July 1, 2012. He provided members with and reviewed a Company Visitation Schedule and Summary of EDO Staff Responsibilities (Attachment #1). Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding the need for the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) and the Mayor’s Office to meet with Chief Executive Officers of large companies to conduct open dialogue regarding the City, Mayor Carey advised members that the DDP planned to have its own Executive Director in place by November 1, 2012, which would allow a greater focus on such activities. He noted that the DDP had advertised this position. Noting that he serves as a member of the DDP Board of Directors, Mr. Bonar stated that it has been made abundantly clear to the DDP that the $180,000 provided for FY 2012/2013 would not be forthcoming in the future; therefore, the DDP must ensure that they have the financial wherewithal to handle the increased administrative costs that would occur over the next year. He cautioned members that it was important that the City not lose sight of the importance of economic development to the City’s future. Mr. Rushe moved to recommend acceptance of the report, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:17 P.M. Sean M.

Detectives learned that the subject was attempting to contact the victim of the above crimes through his computer. A search warrant was obtained and executed by Dover Police and the Delaware State Police High Tech Crimes Unit for the subject’s computer. After examining the computer, the subject was arrested without incident and charged with Breach of Release and Tampering with a Witness.  On August 8, the Dover Police arrested a subject for a series of daytime residential burglaries in the areas of Portmarnock Court, Hobbyhorse Lane, Troon Road, Gristmill Drive, Red Oak Drive, Forrest Avenue, Buckson Drive, and Lakewood Place. The subject used objects to break rear sliding glass doors and windows to gain entry and remove property once inside.  Also on August 8, Dover Police installed a vehicle immobilization device (parking boot) on a vehicle due to unpaid parking fines. The following day it was discovered that there was graffiti written on the boot. Investigation revealed that the vehicle owner had written the graffiti with permanent marker after becoming angry that his vehicle had the device placed on it. He was subsequently arrested and released on his own recognizance pending trial.

The victim was not injured.  On Sunday, August 12 at 1935 hours, Dover Police Patrol Officers responded to E and J Liquors at 828 Forest Street for a reported Robbery in Progress. Responding officers were able to take the perpetrator into custody as he fled from the business.

State St. in Dover. Investigation led to their arrests after detectives viewed cell phone video of an incident that occurred in March of 2012 where three female employees watched and encouraged two 3 year olds to fight each other while at the daycare. The subjects were each charged with Assault 2nd, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and Conspiracy.

Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Phone: (302) 736-7196 Fax (302) 736-4217 August 2012 PERSONNEL On August 24, 2012 Edwin Martin, Inspector I in the Planning and Inspections Department retired after starting his career with the City on November 17, 2008. PLANNING OFFICE Planning Staff (Dawn Melson-Williams) attended the Senate Bill 64 Floodplain and Drainage Advisory Committee Community Outreach Meeting on August 15, 2012 held at the Kent County Administration Building. The meeting included a review of the Adopted Floodplain and Drainage Standards and Recommendations (DNREC Secretary’s Order # 2012-WS-0029 effective August 2, 2012). As a follow-up, municipalities are asked to self-review their existing regulations to access and report on the consistencies/deficiencies of local programs regarding floodplain and drainage activities and their capacity to implement the standards and recommendations. The Planning Office is conducting the self-review and will work on the required reporting to DNREC. The Planning Office is part of the review process for certain types of construction activity permits (Building Permits, Sign Permits, etc.) and Certificate of Occupancy permits. Planning Staff also reviews new applications for Business Licenses and Rental Dwelling Permits. More detailed information on these permits and licenses is reported later in this document. For August 2012, Planning Staff was involved with review of 85 Permits and 12 Certificates of Occupancy permits (2012 Year to Date total of 615 Permits and COs compared to 638 year-to- date in 2011). EDEN HILL FARM TND Phase 1: Residential District of Eden Hill Farm TND – 77 Dwelling units constructed. Infrastructure for Phase 1 is not yet dedicated. Phase 2: Residential District of Eden Hill Farm TND - Construction activity continues on a set of six townhouse dwelling units located at 512-522 Ann Moore Street within Phase 2A of the Residential District. City Staff allowed the issuance of these permits in June 2012 as infrastructure items were already in place for this block segment of Ann Moore Street. Prior to continuing with additional development in Phase 2, the site developer will need to address infrastructure dedication, bonding, street lighting payments for installation, tree planting requirements, and other infrastructure items. There was no activity associated with the Professional Office, Medical & Financial District. There was no activity associated with the Neighborhood Commercial District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Planning Staff continues to focus efforts on the implementation items identified in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan as amended.

On August 13, 2012, the City Council approved the revisions to the sign regulations of Zoning Ordinance, Article 5 Section 4 as presented in Ordinance #2012-13 with two minor amendments (MI- 12-15). NEW DOVER HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT (C-10-05/S-11-18) Construction activities related to utilities, site improvements like parking lots, and the building construction activities continue at the site. A monthly coordination meeting between City Staff and the district’s design professionals was held in August. Discussions with DelDOT continue to focus on the concerns regarding traffic and pedestrian access for the east entrance. The construction continues on the signalized west entrance (Dover High Drive) and Route 8 improvements. NPDES – MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM PERMIT NEED TO UPDATE In August, the City focused on solidifying plans and dates for the environmental lecture series that will be held in the fall at the new Dover Public Library. The first lecture is planned for September 21, 2012.
