PETITION TO ANNEX PORTIONS OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
Public Hearing Before the City Council on December 13, 2021
Recommendation from the Planning Commission Meeting of November 15, 2021
With Staff and Development Advisory Committee Review
File Number: AX-21-04
Ordinance Number: 2021-23
Area Location: Right-of-way located northeast of the intersection of College
Road and the Lands of Delmarva Railroad (Railroad Corridor).
Tax Parcel ID #: In the vicinity of parcels ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000 and
ED-05-067.00-02-56.00-000
Area Size: Right of Way Areas
Area 1: Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) 0.6447 acres
Area 2: Railroad Avenue 0.8737 acres
Area 3: Grove Street 0.1607 acres
TOTAL: 1.6791 acres +/-
2019 Comprehensive Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas (Enclave)
Plan Designation:
Present Use: Improved and Unimproved Right-of-Way
Proposed Use: Improved Right-of-Way
Additional Details: The area in question was plotted in 1899 and can be seen on a
plan titled “The College Settlement Company” (Exhibit
attached). Over the years parcels and right-of-way have been
annexed into the City of Dover. With some of the annexations it
is unclear whether the right-of-way was brought into the City at
the same time. Staff is continuing to research the prior
annexations from 1973-2006 adjoining these rights-of-way and
have found that some of the descriptions of the areas annexed
include the right-of-way and some do not.
This application is meant to clarify that the remaining right-of-
way of Raymond Street, Railroad Avenue, and Grove Street are
brought into the City to reduce an enclave and to ensure the
proper right-of way is established for future development of
parcels that have already been annexed into the City.
Utility Availability: Electric: All surrounding parcels are currently in the Electric
Service Area.

Item #5.
Water and Sanitary Sewer: The above referenced rights-of-way
currently have some water and sanitary sewer already installed.
To have the City of Dover accept this annexation, the water and
sanitary sewer infrastructure must be brought up to current City
standards, as indicated in the Water/Wastewater Handbook.
This includes, but is not limited to, the size, material, and slope
of infrastructure, as well as a video recording of the sanitary
sewer to verify satisfactory condition. The upgrades will be
required to be paid by the developer. It is recommended that
other utilities (telecommunication, gas) be notified of this
annexation in order to upgrade their utilities, if necessary. All
utility upgrades shall be completed prior to the final street
widening and/or improvements.
Staff Recommendation: It is the Staff’s recommendation that the right-of-way known as
Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad
Avenue be annexed into the City to close an enclave and “clean
up” the City boundary by including areas of right-of-way that
were intended to be included in the City upon the previous
annexations of neighboring properties. Furthermore, certain
utilities are already available in this area under some of the
right-of-way described and can be brought up to current
standards with any further development of the area.
Planning Commission The Applicant has brought this annexation forward as a step in
Recommendation: the future development of the properties surrounding the pieces
of land in question. Without direct access from Right-of-Way
within the City of Dover the properties would not be able to
proceed with a new Development Application. There was a
Public Hearing held by the Planning Commission on November
15, 2021, where City Staff and representatives of the application
spoke regarding the proposed annexation. One person spoke
during the public hearing and asked about development of new
roads once the Right-of-Way has been annexed. The Planning
Commission then closed the Public Hearing and voted in favor
of the annexation with eight (8) votes in favor and no votes in
opposition (one member absent). No specific zoning
classification was recommended as the subject area are Right-
of-Way only.

Item #5.
Page 1
I. Summary
This application is for an Annexation Clarification of three Rights-of-Way known as Raymond
Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue north of College Road and east of
the Lands of Delaware Railroad. The area of the Right-of-Way in question totals 1.6791 acres or
73,141.6 SF +/-. Tax Parcel: In the vicinity of parcels ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000 and
ED-05-067.00-02-56.00-000.
II. Existing Property
The land area is located on the north side of College Road, but not adjacent to it and to the east
of the railroad corridor. They are the original Rights-of-Way plotted in 1899 for The College
Settlement Company and shown on Plot Book A, Page 85 as portions of Railroad Avenue, Grove
Street and Jason Street (Exhibit Plan Attached). The Right-of-Ways are bordered with property
that has since been annexed into the City of Dover with the exception of a portion of Jason Street
(now known as Raymond Street) which still has property that is within Kent County on its south
side. See the series of Plan Exhibits (prepared by Pennoni Associates) for the Right-of-Ways.
More specifically the portions of Right-Of-Way can be described as follows:
• Area 1: Right-of-way segment of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) from Mishoe Street
to Railroad Avenue at the railroad corridor. Width of 35 feet. Area Size: 0.6447 acres +/-
(28,084 SF)
• Area 2: Right-of-way segment of Railroad Avenue from Raymond Street and extending
north approximately 1090.24 feet parallel to the railroad corridor. Width of 35 feet. Area
Size 0.8737 acres +/- (38,057 SF)
• Area 3: Right-of-way segment of Grove Street from Raymond Street and extending north
approximately 200 feet to previously abandoned portion of Grove Street. Width of 35
feet. Area Size: 0.1607 acres+/- (7,000SF)
The reason for annexation is to reduce an enclave in the City of Dover Boundary and to provide
opportunities for access to parcels that have already been annexed into the City.
III. Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding land uses are primarily residential. The properties to the north and east are
primarily vacant except for an apartment building along the north side of the improved portion of
Raymond Street. The properties to the south of Raymond Street are a mixture of single-family
homes, mobile homes/manufactured homes, and vacant land. There is one parcel to the south of
Railroad Avenue that has an institutional use and is owned by Delaware State University.
IV. Comprehensive Plan
In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Map 13-1: Potential Annexation Areas identifies the
property in the Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The Growth and Annexation Plan
Chapter (Chapter 13) notes that “Lands in this category are primarily enclaves of unincorporated
territory mostly surrounded by the City of Dover. In all or most of these cases, the City provides
these parcels with one or more essential service (sewer, water, police, fire, etc.).”
The Comprehensive Plan also sets the review criteria for the review of zoning for parcels being
proposed for annexation. Chapter 13, page 13-9 notes that the Zoning Review may include:

• Proposed zoning be in compliance with the land use category shown on Map 13-2 and used
in conjunction with Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix;
• Character and compatibility of the surrounding land uses and properties;
• The street type and capacity serving the property;
• Environmental concerns and conditions that may influence land use and zoning;
• Market concerns and conditions;
• The compatibility with the overall goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
The areas in question are not parcels, but right-of-way which would not be assigned a Land Use
Category or zoning classification.
V. Research and Findings
Annexations in the Area
The area to the north and south of College Road and to the east of the Lands of Delaware
Railroad was platted in 1899 and recorded with the Kent County Recorder of Deeds (Plot Book
A, Page 85) as the “Plot of Land Belonging to The College Settlement Company.” This Plat
shows 215 lots and right of way including Railroad Avenue, Grove Street, and Jason Street.
Through the years between 1973 and 2006 portions of this subdivision were annexed into the
City of Dover. See the summary listing of Annexations below. The Lot numbers are those used
in the College Settlement Plat.
• 1973 – The Lands of Luna Mishoe were annexed which included Lots 153-167, 179-188,
and 189-196. The Resolution for this annexation is silent as to the annexation of any
adjacent right-of-way. (Annexation #73-1)
• 1977 – College Road and the Lands of Burden (Lot 151) were annexed into the City of
Dover. This annexed the right-of-way of College Road from the railroad to the St. Jones
River. (Annexation #77-2) (Current Property Address: 331 College Road)
• 1983 – The Lands of Joe Burden (Lots 177 and 178) were annexed into the City and in
the description given in the Resolution the portion of Jason Street that the two lots
fronted on was also annexed. (Annexation #83-1) (Current Property Address: 10 Mishoe
Street and part of the right-of-way of Mishoe Street.)
• 1987 – The Lands of Raymond Fisher (Lot 176) was annexed into the City and in the
description given in the Resolution the portion of Jason Street that the lot fronted on was
also annexed. (Annexation #87-1) (Current Property Address: 315 Raymond Street)
• 1993 – Lands of Jemm Investors described as 1.2890 acres of land with its southwest
corner starting at the intersection of College Road and the lands of Delaware Railroad
Company and extending northwest to the south line of Jason Street, but not including any
right-of-way of Jason Street. (Annexation #93-3) (Current Property Address: 255 College
Road)
• 2006 – Lands of College Road Management Inc., Kent Storage Facilities, LLC, and
Loralex Company, LLC. consisting of four (4) parcels containing 30.766 acres north of
Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) and east of the railroad corridor and Railroad Avenue
with the eastern boundary of the subject area being the St. Jones River. In the Resolution
the property description for annexation includes a portion of Raymond Street (aka Jason
Street) the same length as the width of parcel ED-05-067.00-02-53.00-000. (Annexation

Page 3
While the right-of-way was not explicitly described in the resolutions of the majority of these
properties annexed into the City it is the City Solicitor’s understanding that because the right-of-
way was originally platted for public use that as the properties were annexed the adjacent right-
of-way should have been annexed as well. From our research it appears that portions of
Raymond Street (aka Jason Street) were included in the annexations of certain adjacent parcels at
its west and east ends. The Annexation Resolutions today are written in a way to ensure that the
adjacent right-of-way is annexed into the City at the same time adjacent properties are annexed.
The purpose of this Annexation Application is to clarify that all portions of right-of-way known
as Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street and Railroad Avenue shall be annexed into
the City of Dover.
Street Name Change
In August of 2001 City Council voted to approve the Street Name Change from Jason Street to
Raymond Street. The request was previously reviewed by the Planning Commission and the
Utility Committee which both recommended approval. The name change was related to the
Development of the University Courtyard Apartments and the renaming of Waters Street, south
of College Road, to Jason Street prompting the need to change the Right-of-Way formerly
known as Jason Street to the north of College Road to Raymond Street.
City of Dover Street Maintenance
The portion of Raymond Street starting at Mishoe Street and extending 0.04 miles west has been
dedicated to the City of Dover for maintenance. See Email with map diagram of location.
VI. Recommendation of Planning Staff:
Staff recommends the annexation of the rights-of-way known as Raymond Street (aka
Jason Street), Grove Street, and Railroad Avenue to reduce an enclave of the City
Boundary and to clarify portions of right-of-way that should have been annexed in the
past. The subject property is in the City’s Annexation Plan of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan as
Category 1: High Priority Annexation Areas. The annexation of the rights-of-way would allow
for the development of properties that have already been annexed into the City and would reduce
an enclave in the City Boundary.
Staff research shows that portions of the Right-of-Way Areas were already annexed. The
Annexation of the three Right-of-Way Areas will clarify that these areas as described are within
the City of Dover and that their future development/improvement will be subject to City Street
Standards.
This recommendation is being made without the benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding
landowners and residents. A Public Hearing is required on this matter and the Planning
Commission should give those comments consideration. The land in question is simply right-of-
way so there is no recommended zoning to accompany this annexation. Since it is right-of-way
that was plotted in 1899 and intended to be used by the public it is the City Solicitor’s
interpretation that the City should have annexed the adjacent right-of-way when the properties in
the vicinity were annexed from 1973 – 2006. (See Letter of October 28, 2021 from City
Solicitor).

Recommendation of Planning Commission:
The application was presented by Samantha Bulkilvish, Planner for the City of Dover, in
conjunction with Gregory Rishel, PLA of Pennoni Associates, Inc. Following a Public Hearing
on November 15, 2021, where one member of the public wished to speak regarding future
development and the proposed annexation, the Planning Commission voted in favor of the
annexation of Right-of-Way of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Grove Street and
Railroad Avenue with eight (8) votes in favor and no votes in opposition (one member
absent). See excerpt of Draft Meeting Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting.
Submission of Plan of Services
As required by 22 Delaware Code §101, a Plan of Services has been submitted to the Office of State
Planning Coordination. A copy of the Plan of Services form and Attachment List is included. Staff
received the Letter of Approval (of the Plan of Services) from the Office of State Planning
Coordination on December 3, 2021 and have also included it in this packet. A copy of the full Plan of
Services submission with all attachments is on file with the Planning Office.
Next Step
A Public Hearing by City Council is scheduled for the December 13, 2021 Meeting where Final
Action will be taken on Annexation Resolution No. 2021-26 and Rezoning Ordinance #2021-23.
VII. ADVISORY COMMENTS
1) The Plan of Services for this Annexation Area was submitted to the Office of State Planning
Coordination for their approval. A Letter of Approval was received on December 3, 2021
2) From the agency comments received, there may be some existing City water and sewer
installed. Any existing infrastructure will have to be brought up to current City standards as
defined in the Water/Wastewater Handbook. Any new development or upgrades to existing
infrastructure would be paid for by the developer.
3) From agency comments received, a portion of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), 0.04 miles
extending west from Mishoe Street, is currently a City maintained road. Ultimately any
roadway constructed in the right-of-way will require dedication to the City of Dover.
4) Upon annexation into the City of Dover, the land area will be subject to the provisions of the
Dover Code of Ordinances. This includes procedures such as review processes for plans and
permits for construction activities, street construction standards, etc.
5) Any future development plans tied to the annexation of right-of-way are subject to review by

000. The rights-of-way, known as portions of Raymond Street (aka Jason Street), Railroad

before Planning Commission is to be scheduled for November 15, 2021 and City Council on

Representatives: Mr. Greg Rishel, Pennoni & Associates and Planning Staff
Ms. Bulkilvish stated that this application is for an Annexation Clarification of Right-of-Way of
Raymond Street (also known as Jason Street), Grove Street and Railroad Avenue. It is a
clarification because the surrounding properties have been annexed into the City (Referring to a
Map Exhibit.) Anywhere on the map that is hashed orange is in the County and the rest of it has
frontage along these right-of-ways and is annexed into the City already. The clarification is just
making sure that the remainder of the right-of-way that had been annexed prior to this is now
annexed. This is so that there is no confusion moving forward with anyone who wishes to pursue
a development application and needs access to right-of-way. The right-of-way was established in
1899 via a plot of land belonging to the College settlement company. It shows the right-of-way
plotted as Railroad Avenue in blue, Grove Street in pink and Raymond Street in yellow which at
that time, was known as Jason Street. As time went on between 1973 and 2006, portions of the
area were annexed into the City of Dover. In some cases, it did explicitly say in the recorded
documents that in addition to the properties, the right-of-ways in front of those properties were to
be annexed as well and in some cases, it left that out completely. What we are trying to do is just

Item #5.
clean things up, make an enclave a little smaller and make sure that this right-of-way is brought
into the City as it was intended to be.
Mr. Rishel stated that he thinks Ms. Bulklivish did a wonderful job presenting the facts and
figures that were included in the packet. He really doesn’t know if he has a whole lot extra to add
other than they do want to ensure that property owners in this area to the north, who may be
looking at any future development applications, are ensured that there is public right-of-way
fully within the City of Dover to access those parcels. To improve those rights-of-ways with
future City streets and no applications could be done for that without them being able to be heard
by the City of Dover, and not without making sure that they were fully within Dover’s
jurisdiction. So, that is really the purpose of this application. Deeds and records obviously are
quite old and miscellaneous over the years. So really they just want to kind of make sure that any
holes are cleaned up and that the entire rights-of-way are fully now encumbered by the City of
Dover.
Mrs. Maucher opened the public hearing.
Mr. Wyatt Waters – 281 College Road Dover, DE 19904
Mr. Waters stated that the paper that they sent said it was going to improve that area. Is there a
timeline for this? He heard that they said in the future but some of it like Raymond Street aka
Jason Street backs up to his property. Is that going to be developed sometime soon or are you
going to wait for somebody else to move in that area? Responding to Mr. Waters, Mrs. Melson-
Williams stated that this is to clarify that the right-of-way or “property of the street” is within the
City of Dover. Should any adjoining property owner wish to develop, they may need to improve
that roadway or street pavement. There is a portion of Raymond Street that is currently under
City maintenance and that is the piece that is closest to Mishoe Street where you see the sidewalk
along it and then it kind of just stops. There is still some pavement there. If any of the adjoining
properties to the north would seek development, they would have to go through a Site
Development Plan process and likely identify street improvements to be made depending on
what their project is. For any new development, typically there is extension of water and sewer
lines that need to happen as well as appropriate City streets of pavement, sidewalk, curbing and
that kind of thing. Currently, Raymond Street has that for a portion and then it stops. We really
can’t identify a timeline. It would be the burden of those developing to make those
improvements following review and approval by the appropriate City Departments.
Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that the Planning Commission members did receive a letter from
the City Solicitor giving his determination that because the plat of 1899 for the College
Settlement Company identified these streets, that they were anticipated to be dedicated to public
use. Then ultimately if they are developed appropriately, accepted and dedicated to the City of
Dover for maintenance. His letter notes that the ownership of the streets could ultimately be the
City of Dover once we clarify that they are within the City and then they are improved
appropriately.
Mrs. Maucher closed the public hearing
Mr. Hartman moved to recommend approval to City Council for Application AX-21-04

Dear Dave:
This letter will confirm our discussion about the annexation petition being presented to Council
designated file #AX-21-04 and ordinance #2021-23, which covers Right of Way areas of Raymond
Street (also known as Jason Street); Railroad Avenue; and Grove Street and pertains to the
ownership of these streets.
The portions of these streets subject to the annexation referendum, were laid out in a recorded plot
of the College Settlement Company plotted and recorded in 1899. By recording the plot these
streets automatically became dedicated to public use, and ownership would have been transferred
to the City of Dover confirmed by prior annexations from 1973 to 2006.
It is my opinion that the ownership of these three streets, covered by the annexation referendum,
are owned by the City of Dover so that the Petition to Annex is entirely proper.
Very truly yours,
Ni&/~~re

THE COLLEGE SETTLEMENT COMPANY
ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY ANNEXATION
OVERVIEW NARRATIVE
City of Dover, East Dover Hundred,
Kent County, Delaware
The intent of this narrative is to support for the application for annexation of Railroad Avenue, Grove
Street, and Raymond Street. All these streets are represented on the recorded Plot Book A, Page 85;
titled “Plot of Land Belonging to The College Settlement Company, Dated 1899. Over time properties
shown on this recorded plan have been joined together to change the configuration of the original
plot. The roads that are the subject of this annexation request are believed to be within the Kent
County jurisdiction, so we are seeking to have the Right-of-Ways annexed into the corporate limits of
the City of Dover. We have provided a plan that McCrone prepared dated December of 2005 which
shows an annexation of additional parcels into the City of Dover adjacent to the roads. All these
Right-of-Way that we are seeking to be annexed are all 35 foot wide.
Railroad Avenue
Railroad Avenue runs coincident with the eastern side of the Delaware Railroad Company’s Right -of-
Way. Along the eastern side of Railroad Avenue are the parcels from The College Settlement
Company, dated 1899. This plan created a 35 foot wide Right-of-Way for said road. A portion of
Railroad Avenue was previously vacated (DB F 52, PG 73) between Raymond Street and College
Avenue and transferred to the adjacent parcel owners. However, from the southerly side of
Raymond Street north, is the section that our client is making application to be annexed into the City
of Dover.
Raymond Street (a.k.a Jason Street)
Raymond Street is also known as Jason Street on the from The College Settlement Company plan,
dated 1899. This street is actively being used and is surrounded by parcels that have already been
annexed into the City of Dover. Raymond Street’s Right-of-Way is 35 feet and runs from the east side
of Mishoe Road to Railroad Avenue and is the section of Raymond Street that our client is making
application to be annexed into the City of Dover.
Grove Street
Grove Street is found on The College Settlement Company plan, dated 1899, and is a northerly
running road from Raymond Street and parallel with Railroad Avenue. A portion of Grove Street
north of Lot 189 was vacated and has become part of the property to the north, but a portion of
Grove Avenue still remains along Lot 189. This second portion was not abandoned or conveyed to
adjacent parcel owners (DB F 52, PG 73) and remains as a Right-of-Way. This remaining portion of
the Grove Street Right-of-Way is the section that our client is making application to be annexed into
the City of Dover.

Item #6.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 2021 PAGE 3
Discussion - City Council Compensation (Councilman David Anderson)
Mr. Taylor reviewed a presentation entitled “Dover City Council Pay Increase”.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Anderson stated that according to the Charter, pay
increases for the Mayor and Council took effect after the next election. He explained
that there would need to be a Charter amendment but his thinking was because of the
unique situations of minimum wage in the process of doubling because of inflation
and because it has been 20 years since the last one-time increase, an exception could
be made that in-between elections there could not be any wage increases that were
more than what other City employees would be getting on average. Mr. Anderson
noted that it would keep up with inflation without them ending up in the same
situation again.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Anderson confirmed that there was an election on the
following Tuesday but he believed the intent of the Charter was a general election,
but that was for the attorney to look at.
Mr. Sudler stated that he thought the City Council pay should mirror the Kent County
Commissioner’s.
Mr. Rocha asked how a Council pay increase would be paid for.
Mr. Shevock suggested that no matter how the Committee voted on this item, he
thought that compensation for all the other City employees should be taken care of
prior to Council raising anything for themselves.
Mrs. Arndt stated that the time commitment required to be a Councilperson was
much more than she anticipated when she took the job, however, she also wanted to
know how a pay increase would be paid for. She noted that she thought this
discussion should be had prior to the next budget cycle so everything would be
considered in tandem.
Mr. Neil stated that he did not believe any of the current Councilpersons ran for
office because of the salary but he did feel they were vastly underpaid given the
enormous responsibilities they had. He suggested that Council request a Charter
change that allowed them to double the current salaries and then tie the increase into
the same percentage of increases of non-union employees.
Mr. Boggerty stated that he would request a flat rate for Councilpersons to make it
easier on City Staff.
Mr. Rocha stated that he was in agreement with a pay increase, whatever it may be,
but he was disturbed that the Segal Study was mentioned in the presentation because
Council had not set aside time to review it yet. He noted that he agreed with Mr.
Page 54
Page 55
D
Item #6.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 2021 PAGE 4
Shevock that they should review the Segal study and see what could be done for the
City employees compensation at the same time as they consider their own pay but
they would need to figure out where the money was going to come from and how to
fix the budget to make it work.
Mr. Anderson stated that they would need to figure out the amount to work on a
Charter amendment, so they would only be looking for direction that evening, it
would be months in the process. He noted that he did advocate that Council finish the
work that was started on the Segal study but did want to point out that City
employees had received not only step raises but also annual raises for non-bargaining
and union employees with an average of almost 3% a year.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Anderson stated that members of Council did not
receive benefits, retirement, or healthcare. He noted that they received less than any
part-time employee.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Sudler stated that members of Council did get
registration paid for by the City for retreats/conferences.
Mr. Contant stated that looking at the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from 2001,
payment in the amount of $7,500 would currently put members at $11,623. He
explained that one of the concerns he had with raising the salary too high was the
position becoming a career opportunity, which he would oppose. Mr. Contant noted
that he thought that a Charter amendment should be made but that it should include
term limits not to allow a one-time increase. He stated that he did not know what an
increase should be set at but he felt that mirroring the County was too high.
Mr. Contant explained that he felt the increase should be performance-based,
meaning how active a Councilperson is at meetings, and should be tied to an index.
Mr. Boggerty stated that he had just attended an employee issue the previous week
and lent his Human Resources skills to the issue. He explained that had he done that
in his professional capacity, not as a Councilman, he would have charged $700-800
plus expenses. Mr. Boggerty noted that these were the types of things many members
of Council were doing in addition to the meetings they attended in their official
capacity.
Former City Councilman Matthew Lindell, 4005 Willow Grove Road, requested that
regardless of what Council decided to do with their own pay, they look out for the
City employees because they were priority one.
Mayor Christiansen stated that the Mayor and Council should be compensated for the
compassion, ability, and dedication that they bring to the City of Dover and he was
opposed to term limits which he felt allowed people to be lazy and hobbled
democracy.

Item #6.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 2021 PAGE 5
Mr. Anderson stated that his recommendation would be to look at a proposal to be
referred to staff to work out the budgetary considerations because there was a
supplemental budget coming up and also for staff to draft the proper Charter
amendments. He explained they could then come back in December and pass the
proper charter amendment and decide on the path forward. Mr. Anderson noted they
could also just pass the framework and have staff work it out, but it would be a
process.
Mr. Sudler moved to recommend mirroring the criteria and pay of the Kent County
Levy Court Commissioners. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare.
Mr. Rocha asked where this left the Segal study, noting that he wanted to establish
a review of the Segal study for employee compensation regarding the supplemental
budget in the motion.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Dave Hugg, Interim City Manager, stated that he
had looked at the Segal study and would be able to bring it back before the
Committee or Council for discussion in December.
Mr. Neil stated that he was opposed to the motion on the floor, which he felt would
look like a money grab. He explained that he would support doubling the current pay
or an increase to $18,000 but would not accept a significant jump like the $33,000
proposed.
Mrs. Arndt stated that she thought they should look at the Segal study and reevaluate
the competitiveness of the employee’s salaries along with their own salary increase,
should they decide to go that route, but she would not be comfortable voting for
anything until they saw how it looked in the budget and if the money was available
to support it. She noted that she did not want to make any decisions at the present
time.
Mr. Contant asked where the money would come from, noting that $33,000 would
be a $160,000 increase.
Mr. Hare and Mr. Rocha both stated that they thought $18,000 was fair but if it was
voted to increase to $33,000 they would be donating money to organizations or
attending more events within the community with the added funds.
Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Sudler stated that he would not withdraw his
motion. He explained that he believed his work was worth what he had proposed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 2021 PAGE 6
The motion to recommend mirroring the criteria and pay of the Kent County Levy
Court Commissioners failed with six (6) no (Anderson, Neil, Arndt, Rocha, Contant,
and Shevock), three (3) yes (Sudler, Hare, and Taylor), and one (1) abstention
(Boggerty).
Mr. Hare moved to recommend acceptance of propos al three (3) totaling
$18,000 a year for Councilperson salary and to refer to staff for consideration
of the Charter change along with the Segal study. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Boggerty and carried with eight (8) yes (Anderson, Boggerty, Neil, Hare,
Arndt, Rocha, Taylor, Shevock) and two (2) no (Sudler and Contant).
Mr. Taylor stated that he would like for the Council President’s position to be considered for an
additional $3,000 to $5,000 per year based on the additional time required of the position.
Mr. Neil moved to refer this item to the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee
for consideration, including additional pay for the Council President’s position. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.
Re que s t for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds to be Used for Rental
Assistance, Utility Bills, and Hotel Vouchers (Mayor Robin Christiansen)
Ms. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Administrator, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the request for
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to be used for rental assistance, utility
bills, and hotel vouchers.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed budget totaling $500,000.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mayor Christiansen stated that the funds requested
would come from the City’s allocation. He noted that it was possible that if the
requested funds were used for emergency funds, the State would reimburse the City
at a later date, but they felt that they needed to have the funds in the breach and ready
to go as cold weather approached.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Harvey stated that Dover Interfaith Mission for
Housing (DIMH) already had grant money and CDBG funds to build their shelter so
this was something separate. She explained that this was strictly for motel vouchers
if someone went to DIMH and they did not have housing available, they would be
given a voucher so they would not be on the street.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Harvey stated that the DIMH did have other properties
but they were already occupied.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Anderson stated that DIMH had to move because their
current location was sold for economic development purposes.

the Silver Lake Dam - Annual Inspection Review.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Duca stated that the recommendations scheduled to be
done by November 21, 2021 would be performed by the Grounds Division in Parks
and Recreation and they were currently on schedule.
Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mrs. Duca stated that one of the concerns previously
discussed with the Silver Lake Commission was that Lewis Mill Drive going into the
park was in disrepair and that item was on the Engineering Division’s sights to work
on and hopefully get Community Transportation Funds (CTF) to deal with that
roadway.
Mr. Hare moved to accept the 2021 Silver Lake Dam: Dam Safety Inspection
Report and the Fiscal Year 2021 Silver Lake Dam Inspection Update
Memorandum, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by

Mrs. Arndt, Third District Councilwoman, reported that a constituent had contacted

perhaps help to improve the design, as well as an update on the project.

Mr. Anderson, Fourth District Councilman, reported that he had just come from a
neighborhood watch meeting and things were looking good with very low crime
statistics over the last month. He noted that the neighbors wanted people to look for
things that the homeless population could do during the day so they could have
positive alternatives and not negative ones.
Mr. Sudler, Fourth District Councilman, reported that he had been working with Kari
Tollinger, a constituent in the Woodcrest community to draft a petition to help Tony
DePrima, School Board Member, to get funding to redesign the perceived swamp
area at the front of Dover High School. He noted there were also constituents on
Slaughter Street as well as Ann Avenue that would like to have the digital speed sign

The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held on November 23, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. with Council
President Sudler presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Neil,
Mrs. Arndt, Mr. Rocha, and Mr. Taylor. Mr. Hare was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present.
Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative,
Finance, and Administration) and Dr. Jackson-Short and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation).
LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding.
Adoption of Agenda
Mr. Taylor moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Bids - Switchgear Building for Garrison Oak Technology & Business Park (GOTBP)
Substation
Mr. Paul Waddell, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Switchgear
Building for Garrison Oak Technology & Business Park (GOTBP) Substation. He noted that they received
five bids and, although Siemens was not the low bidder, their submission fully met the specifications and
included commissioning in the price, which could provide a cost savings of $20,000 to $30,000 over the
Anixter ABB bid.
Staff recommended awarding RFP #22-0008EL for the switchgear building for Garrison Oak Technology
& Business Park (GOTBP) substation to Siemens in the amount of $1,187,158.
Mr. Boggerty moved to recommend approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and
unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Bids - Transformer for Garrison Oak Technology & Business Park (GOTBP)
Substation
Mr. Paul Waddell, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Transformer for
Garrison Oak Technology & Business Park (GOTBP) Substation.
Staff recommended awarding RFP #22-0009EL for the Transformer for Garrison Oak Technology &
Business Park (GOTBP) Substation to Anixter (GE 1b) in the amount of $814,188.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Waddell stated he was unsure where the money would be coming from. He
had heard that there was cash on hand from previous management or that it may come from a reserve
account.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Waddell stated Ms. Peddicord would have the answer to where the money
was coming from. He noted that he did not have access to the software system that would show what
account the funds would come from. Mr. Waddell stated he had been in talks with Ms. Peddicord and
Mr. Dill and the typical process was to receive final approval for equipment from Council, then have a
Purchase Order in hand and he would have to pay 10 percent up front.

Item #7.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Waddell stated this was the fourth bid for this project and the total was
$2.3M of a $7M budget. He noted that this would be considered major equipment that would require a lot
of foundation work. Mr. Waddell advised that, once approval of the evaluation of bids was granted, it would
go to the City’s engineering contractor and they would provide plans for the construction side that would
go out for bid. He stated that they were currently on budget with projected costs of equipment.
Mr. Rocha moved to recommend awarding RFP #220009EL to Anixter (GE 1b) in the amount of
$814,188, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Bids - LED Security Lights for City Lighting Upgrade
Mr. Paul Waddell, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the LED Security
Lights for the City lighting upgrade.
Staff recommended awarding RFP #22-0012EL to Denney Electric in the amount of $163,680.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Waddell stated the LED Security Lights are 15-20 watt bulbs that would
replace 1,550 conventional 100 watt bulbs, resulting in a financial savings to the City. Mr. Waddell stated
that Denney Electric was the second lowest bidder and, although Irby was the lowest, they priced an
incorrect photocell and, if corrected, it would have put Irby outside the total cost.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Waddell stated the control center for communicating with the 618 lights was
defective and another one has been ordered for replacement at no cost to the City.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Waddell stated the LED Security Lights went out for bid twice due to a
clerical error on the part number. He advised that, after speaking with Mr. Wolfgang, he contacted the
companies that had bid on the initial Request for Proposals (RFP) to let them know it was being retracted
and re-released with the correct part number.
Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding RFP #22-001EL to Denney Electric, as recommended by
staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.
Mr. moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting,
seconded by Mrs. Arndt and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:17 p.m.

The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2021 PAGE 3
D Item #7.
Creation of an Ad - Hoc Committee to Discuss the Effects and Implementation of Proposed
Ordinance #2021-26 - Creating a New Chapter 28 - Dawdling (Councilman Ralph Taylor, Jr.)
Mr. Taylor, briefed Committee members on the creation of an ad-hoc committee to discuss the effects and
implementation of Proposed Ordinance #2021-26, which would create a new Chapter 28 - Dawdling.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sudler stated he would recommend that members include the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a
representative from Delaware State University, and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA) or
any other faith-based religious organization that expressed interest in being on the committee.
Ms. Leandra Casson Marshall, 3 Starboard Court, advised that she would like to join the committee
representing herself and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA).
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Arndt stated that City Council was awaiting a legal opinion to determine
if Council was moving forward with the ordinance as proposed. She suggested that before forming a
committee or discussing how it should be implemented, Council members should await the legal opinion
to see if the proposed ordinance could be implemented legally.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sudler stated the synopsis of the legal opinion was to check with the ACLU
and the community.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Traci McDowell, Interim City Clerk, stated that she thought the discussion
of the legal opinion would take place with Mr. Rodriguez, City Solicitor, in an executive session . She noted
that this item was added to the agenda to discuss the formation of the Ad-Hoc Committee to work on the
ordinance, with the assistance of the ACLU and other groups.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Neil stated that bringing in the ACLU and a lawyer associated with the
NAACP to look at the ordinance was a good idea. He noted that the purpose of the committee was to
un-demonize something that was needed. Mr. Neil advised that the ordinance would not add a criminal
aspect to a person, only a fine. He stated that the City of Dover was being hurt by what was happening in
the downtown area, businesses are drying up, and people do not want to visit the downtown.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Boggerty stated he was looking forward to serving on the committee and
would keep an open mind and come to a resolution that does not appear to target anyone. Mr. Boggerty
advised that he was also a member of the Downtown Dover Partnership Committee on Safety and Advisory
and the issues with downtown businesses at a certain point had nothing to do with people feeling it was
dangerous, it had to do with the economy, sustainability, and parking.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Dr. Jackson stated it was important to look at who was being targeted and who
was creating the issues and then identify ways to help resolve the issues before looking into creating an
ordinance. Dr. Jackson advised that she suggested the formation of an ad-hoc committee to discuss the
ordinance and noted that, until they received all the information, they were moving blindly.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Shelton stated that it was important to understand how this would benefit
the City of Dover and to get people involved. He noted that he would like to involve students from Delaware
Page 82
Page 83
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 23, 2021
DItem #7.
PAGE 4
State University or a Dover High School Student to have them discuss what was going to provide a better
understanding; however, he suggested understanding the legal ramification before moving forward.
Reverend Rita Paige, 355 Rita Wilma Road, advised that she would like to serve on the committee to
represent the IMA Social Action Committee.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Neil stated that the Police Department would be able to advise them about
who is creating the disturbances.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Boggerty stated that adding an addendum to the nuisance ordinance to hold
businesses accountable for the actions of the people in and around their businesses at a certain time could
solve some of the problems. He noted that every other business around Dover that has had a nuisance issue
had been closed or has taken appropriate action to resolve the issues.
Mr. Michael Hermann, 14697 John Peel Road, Galena, Maryland stated that he agreed with Mr. Shelton that
representatives of this committee should reflect the population they were trying to target.
Mr. Sudler stated that in 2018 they spoke with the community, the Department of Justice, Alcohol Tobacco
and Firearms (ATF), and the Mayor’s Office to look at their nuisance laws and did adjust the ordinance. He
advised that, if a business was negligent and knew that their patrons were not in compliance with the rules
and regulations, they would be fined $1000. Dr. Jackson stated that she was present for the discussion in
2018 and she agreed with Mr. Sudler. She also stated that until they could identify the people involved they
could not bring them to the table.
Mr. Anderson moved to recommend tabling Creation of an Ad-Hoc Committee to Discuss the Effects
and Implementation of Proposed Ordinance #2021 - 26 - Creating a New Chapter 28 - Dawdling until
the January Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting,
seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:01 p.m.
Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.

Information Technology Department
October 2021 Report
Larry Josefowski, Director
Metrics: Starting this month, we will provide some metrics in graphical form, with comments in text. For the
three charts this month, they indicate that the number of incidents handled and the number of attacks by our
firewall was within our normal scope. System Security scores are a way to measure policies that the vendor
believes should be implemented in the environment. While a good measure, most also require additional
licensing (and money) for additional features. All servers are patched monthly, and workstations are patched
weekly; devices may be offline for a variety of reasons and not get a particular patch. This metric allows us to
track the status of those devices.
Network Security (External): IT coordinated with various City departments and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA) from the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a Critical Resource Review (CRR)
on October 5th, which was focused on infrastructure and support of our electrical system. We expect a detailed
report to be sent to us in early November.
We will be meeting over the next two months with other City Departments on a desktop Cyber Security Exercise
on January 25th.
We also started participation in a cybercheck of our public-facing IT resources by CISA, with one correction
needed.
Network Security (Internal): Multifactor Authentication, which requires a second means of validating access to
the system, was implemented in early October, with few problems. Additional restrictions are needed for
administrative accounts for cybersecurity insurance needs, and we are working on getting this tool through
ARPA. We also implemented a full block on any emails that contain Personally Identifiable Information and have
developed ways to send the information more safely, when needed.
Training: Our Phishing campaign completed with 96.3% passing the test. We will be repeating this quarterly. We
extended the required annual training, as we had a 72% completion rate.
Hardware Vulnerability: Spend of capital funds over several years was postponed, which has resulted in all
network equipment being past support and creating a vulnerability. Discussions with vendors and analysis of the
system indicates approximately 500K worth of equipment needing replacement. As soon as 2020 funds are
transferred to current budget, will execute purchase of two core switches, and a request for 1% of the ARPA
funds the city has received for IT security, including a few more switches, has been submitted. However, supply
shortages may delay implementation for up to 6 months. IT’s future budget requests will attempt to remediate
this over a 5 year period with 100K per year, but there is an assumption of risk in this plan by not replacing the
hardware sooner.
Other: Members of IT attended a SmartCity conference, and the statewide SecureDelaware symposium, which
helps expand the technical knowledge of the staff at a relatively low cost. We also continue to work with
Finance on the Tyler/Munis conversion.

October 2021 Monthly Report
Parks & RecreaƟon Highlights
Healthy Kids Running took off to a running start to a great partnership with Parks & Recrea on. The six week
running series was held on Sundays at Schu e Park. Each Sunday, approximately 100 runners par cipated in
various youth age group races. Those with special needs were able to par cipate as well. We look forward to
future partnership opportuni es such as these moving forward.
ORPT Grants returned with some good news. The ORPT grant submi ed for the Splash Pad at Dover Park
became eligible for addi onal funding and through grant wri ng efforts of Ms. Courtney an addi onal $43,000
was granted towards this project.
Whatever Floats Your Boat! The Mayor’s annual kayak/canoe rega a was held on October 2. The beau ful
weather gave way to a great event hos ng more than 90 paddlers in total. A special shout out to Liliana Burgos
for winning this year’s cardboard boat contest!! Public feedback was posi ve with requests to do it again next
year. Thank you to NCALL; Parks & Recrea on Staff; Dover, Camden & Li le Creek Fire Departments; Kent
County Parks & Recrea on and Killens Pond State Park in making this event possible.
IRT Grant Submission was completed by Ms. Courtney with Schu e Park land/field improvements as the project
goal. Parks & Recrea on has the necessary plans in hand to turn the unused por on of Schu e Park (next to
Wyoming Mill Road) into athle c fields. Our outdoor programming is maxed out at Schu e Park with the
current field layout, these addi onal fields would allow for outdoor program expansion. This grant was
submi ed previously and funded, however the necessary equipment needed was not available. A er mee ng
with Captain Brooks of the US Army, we were encouraged to apply again for the 2023/24 Fiscal Year.
