THIS AGENDA IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OR THE DELETION OF ITEMS, INCLUDING EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Council Meeting was held on January 23, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Leary presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Russell, Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hare, and Mr. Hutchison. Council staff members present were Major Bernat, Ms. Russell, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Townshend, 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. Mr. Anthony J. DePrima (retired City Manager), 575 Westwood Drive, advised members that in last week’s Wilmington News Journal, he was “purposely” slandered and defamed by Mrs. Williams, who put his professional and personal integrity and ethics into question. He quoted the article in question, which stated, “Williams said she suspects former city manager Tony DePrima, . . . was the one who told the FOP that budget plans included police raises.” Mr. DePrima explained that the underlying premise of this statement was that the City of Dover lost its arbitration case with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) because someone notified the union that money for raises was included the budget. Mr. DePrima indicated that he has filed a complaint with the City’s Ethics Commission to consider the matter and stated his desire to address the absurdity and falsehood of this premise. He indicated that, to his recollection, the monies were never in the budget. Mr. DePrima noted that he recently spoke with Mrs. Teresa Tieman, former Senior City Administrator, who remembered clearly that all raises were removed during the City’s budget hearings and indicated that this fact should have been known by Mrs. Williams. Mr. DePrima stated that logic led him to believe that there must have been Council discussion regarding the theory of a “leak” and that this discussion probably took place during an executive session. He suggested the possibility of a breach of confidentiality if this information was disclosed publicly, which he stated was another matter for the Ethics Commission or City Council to consider. Mr. DePrima encouraged members, if they were interested, to investigate whether there was a breach of confidentiality regarding the release of information to the FOP on someone’s part and volunteered “to be the first in line for a lie detector test.” However, he stated that if Council really wished to know why the City lost the arbitration case, he suggested that members meet with the economist who testified on behalf of the FOP, and request her to explain to Council what was explained to the State arbiter. Mr. DePrima indicated his concurrence with the statement by the FOP Representative, who was quoted in the newspaper as stating that “they were able to show that the City is not in as bad financial shape as some people in the Council believe.” Mr. DePrima stated that the projected $3.4M budget deficit, which is a figure that has repeatedly been quoted by staff and Council members is “old, stale, and trumped up.” He felt that the truth could be found by dissecting that number. Quoting a statement that he said was made previously by Dr. McGlumphy, Mr. DePrima felt that “the citizens have a right to know.”

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 2 Ms. Judy Diogo, representing the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC), urged members of Council to move forward with the feasibility study related to the sale of the City’s electric department. She noted that CDCC members have urged CDCC staff to make this request and that their current concerns relate to the recent statements made by the Governor during the State of the State Address, which the CDCC feels have placed more urgency on the feasibility study. Dr. Bryan Sterling, 111 Walker Road, stated that his property is located along Silver Lake. He read in the newspaper recently that the City would be enforcing new boating rules for Silver Lake. Having lived at this address for 16 years, he was made aware that his boat would no longer be permitted on Silver Lake. He questioned the possibility of an amendment or “grandfathering” specific situations, explaining that his boat is 14’ and has 110 HP, which is within limits; however, it has a jet engine (impeller). As an alternative, he suggested that boats that allow for four (4) passengers be permitted, which would eliminate jets skis, jets, hover crafts, etc. He explained that his boat falls within all guidelines except for a propellor that is outside of the boat (it is located in the helm). He requested members’ consideration regarding this matter. Mr. Dean Holden (10 Rodney Road), Chairman of the Silver Lake Commission, stated that the newspaper article was misleading and explained that jet boats are not being made illegal, but rather personal watercraft that are jet driven. He assured members that jet boats will not necessarily be outlawed by the recommended amendments in the regulations. The invocation was given by Chaplain Dixon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Hutchison moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Dr. McGlumphy and unanimously carried. Mrs. Russell requested that Item #3A - Review of Silver Lake Boating Regulations, be removed from the consent agenda. Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the consent agenda as amended, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - COUNCIL RETREAT OF NOVEMBER 9, 2011 The Minutes of the Council Retreat of November 9, 2011 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of January 9, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 3 ADOPTION OF MINUTES - SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 2012 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of January 9, 2012 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Bonar, seconded by Mrs. Williams and bore the written approval of Mayor Carey. PROCLAMATION - BLACK HISTORY MONTH - BLACK WOMEN IN AMERICAN CULTURE AND HISTORY The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, African American women have played countless vital roles in the making of our nation, from the American Revolution to the present; and WHEREAS, the efforts, struggles, organization, and sacrifices of these women have made possible the achievements of contemporary black leaders; and WHEREAS, prominent figures in American culture are Harriet Tubman, who led hundreds of slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad; Rosa Parks, Civil Rights Movement activist; and Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, editor, and professor; just to name a few; and WHEREAS, African American women have played a vital role in organized black life in churches, community groups, sororities and support organizations, which has often been overlooked; and WHEREAS, even though African American women have been subjected to a long history of stereotypes, they have never surrendered to become victims; and WHEREAS, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History has selected "Black Women in American Culture and History" as the 2012 National Black History Theme. NOW THEREFORE I, CARLETON E. CAREY, SR., MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE do hereby proclaim February 2012 as BLACK HISTORY MONTH in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to study and reflect on the value of their contributions to our community and thank them for the dedication they have shown in our city and around the country. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 9, 2012 The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met on January 9, 2012 with Chairwoman Russell presiding. Review of Silver Lake Boating Regulations (Recommendation of the Silver Lake Commission) Mr. Dean Holden, Chairman of the Silver Lake Commission, reviewed proposed amendments to the Silver Lake Boating Regulations (Chapter 74 - Parks and Recreation, of the Dover Code), with additions depicted in red font and deletions in strikeout. He advised members that the proposed amendments were developed as a result of concerns regarding the presence of non-licensed hovercrafts on the lake, which required police response, as well as an ongoing issue with boats

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 4 without permits. Additionally, he noted that some of the proposed amendments provided for language clarification. Mr. Holden assured members that the Silver Lake Commission held several meetings in which the public participated and that the proposed amendments were discussed at great length. He noted that one individual who attended the public meetings expressed a desire for the allowance of larger boat and motor sizes and the Commission discussed the aspects of this request in detail. He stated that the Commission felt that the proposed changes would bring the regulations up to date, address the ongoing concerns, and provide a good framework for operating on the lake. In response to Mrs. Horsey, Mr. Holden confirmed that the proposed amendments provided for more enforceable rules and regulations. He stated that the Commission cross-checked the State Boating Regulations to assure that the proposed amendments were in compliance at the State level. Mr. Anderson questioned why Personal Watercrafts (PWCs) were never permitted. Responding, Mr. Holden stated that he was not on the Commission when PWCs were originally included in the regulations; however, he stated that the reservations that people have expressed regarding PWCs relate to noise and safety. He stated that the City is unique in having a lake that allows water skiing, fishing, etc. and, due to the small size of Silver Lake, the lake can become crowded; therefore, allowing a wider use could increase liability to the City and danger to users. Mr. Zach Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that Silver Lake is quite shallow and PWCs stir up the sediment. He indicated that he was aware of only one lake in the State that allows PWCs and this was a private lake. The Committee recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-01 amending Chapter 74 - Parks and Recreation, of the Dover Code, as recommended by the Silver Lake Commission. Due to comments made during the Open Forum Segment, Mrs. Russell requested clarification by Mr. Holden and Mr. Carter. There being no objections, Mr. Holden and Mr. Carter were invited to address members regarding this issue. Mr. Holden reviewed the proposed amendments to the Silver Lake Boating Regulations (Chapter 74 - Parks and Recreation, of the Dover Code), as recommended by the Silver Lake Commission. He noted that the proposed amendments provide for a $100 fine for non-permitted vessels, a change in language throughout the section from “boat” to “vessel,” changes to the definitions, the addition of a permit sticker requirement for boats and trailers, a provision regarding a small craft launching area, and a prohibition of the use of “kite tubes” (inflatable devices designed to go up in the air which are pulled behind boats). In response to Mr. Hare regarding the concerns previously relayed to members during the Open Forum Segment by Dr. Brian Sterling, Mr. Holden confirmed that the amendments would not affect the use of such boats. He noted that current and proposed regulations do not preclude outboard, inboard, or jet drive motors.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 5 Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation for the adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2012-01 amending Chapter 74 - Parks and Recreation, of the Dover Code, as recommended by the Silver Lake Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bonar and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of Ordinance #2012-01 will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Proposed Amendments to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Procedure Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that the City of Dover is an entitlement community under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Each year, the City receives an allocation of funds directly from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support low and moderate income areas and the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee evaluates applications submitted by City departments, non-profit groups, and private property owners and allocates available funds according to funding priorities and the quality of the applications. She noted that 20% of the grant allocation plus program income can be utilized for grant administration. As the City’s grant allocation declines and City funds are scarce, the City needs to look for efficiencies in program administration. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the City is expecting approximately $240,000 and that 20% of this amount, which is allocated for grant administration, would not cover all the costs involved. Mrs. Townshend explained that staff intends to reduce the administrative burden of the CDBG program by soliciting subgrantees for multiple years. Under this proposal, subgrantees selected in the upcoming round of applications would be eligible for funds, depending on availability, for the next three funding cycles. After this period of time, the subgrantees would be selected to coincide with the length of the Consolidated Plan. She explained that this change to the program was presented to and accepted by HUD. If this approach is approved, she stated that staff would prepare an amendment to the Consolidated Plan with the upcoming round of funding allocation, and the program guidelines would be revised and brought to the Committee for their review. Staff recommended approval of the proposed change to the subgrant procedure as presented. The Committee recommended that the proposed amendments to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) procedure be implemented, as recommended by staff. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Statistics Regarding Jobs and Businesses Gained and Lost in the City of Dover Since July 2011 Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, reviewed the semi-annual report of employment statistics on the 14 largest employers in the Dover area and reminded members that this information is updated and presented to members on a semi-annual basis. Mr. Neaton noted that, although there have been no major changes, with the exception of seasonal jobs, there have been some major events involving these employers. He advised members that Bayhealth - Kent General Hospital recently had a ribbon cutting on their $174M expansion

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 6 (a comprehensive cancer center and new emergency department) and that the “shell” for a third floor has been completed. He strongly urged members to tour the new facilities at the hospital, noting that it has become a premier community hospital for the region. He advised members that he will be meeting with the business and investment committee from Bayhealth and that the topic will be the expansions that are scheduled for the Milford Hospital. Mr. Neaton indicated that there has been a modest increase in the number of full-time employees at Delaware State University (DSU) and that, during a previous meeting, it was suggested that the City attempt to develop a stronger economic development relationship with DSU. As a result, he reported that meetings have been held on a regular basis with Dr. Michael Casson. DSU was the recipient of a $500,000 grant from the United States Economic Development Association and Dr. Casson will be administering those funds. Mr. Neaton stated that Dr. Casson has requested that he serve on the advisory committee and announced that the first project DSU will undertake will be a marketing analysis and study for the Garrison Tract, which will assist with the City's efforts to market the existing properties at the tract. Mr. Neaton stated that he also met with Dr. Harry Williams, President of DSU, in an attempt to enhance the City’s economic development strategies with higher learning institutions. He stated that Dr. Williams would like to revitalize the concept of a Civic Center. Mr. Neaton advised members that, due to a retirement, there is an interim Campus Director at Delaware Technical and Community College (DTCC) and a new Director of Community Relations. He stated that DTCC has always been a good partner of the City’s Economic Development Office and has provided assistance with job training. Mr. Neaton reminded members that a recent expansion at Sam’s Club doubled the number of employees; however, he stated that these are seasonal employees and he expected these numbers to decrease. Mr. Neaton stated that he planned to visit all major employers in the City this spring, as he has done in the past, and would have a spokesperson from the City’s Utilities Department attend these visits as well to address any concerns. Mr. Neaton noted that the unemployment rate in Dover has declined dramatically over the last year and has improved more than two (2) points, from 10% to 7.7%. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding the recent loss of Super Fresh, Mr. Neaton stated that, according to the realtor, a supermarket is considering the location and that the realtor was confident that the building will house a supermarket in the near future. In regard to the former Playtex site, Mr. Neaton stated that discussions with the broker revealed that a site visit was planned for a potential purchaser in December; however, the visit had to be rescheduled. Regarding the federally recognized Enterprise Zone, Mr. Neaton stated that he would be meeting with Senator Coons on January 11, 2012 and he had also spoken with Senator Carper’s Office staff, who indicated that the Senator was conducting research on the matter. As to the former WalMart site, Mr. Neaton stated that discussions have been held with the developer and that he was not at liberty to reveal the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 7 proposed tenants; however, he assured members that a developer was working on a business to be housed at that location. The Committee recommended acceptance of the Statistics Report for the City’s Top Employers, as presented. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. UPDATES The following updates were provided to members Planning and Funding for New Library Mr. Zachary Carter, Director of Parks and Recreation, advised members that construction on the new Dover Public Library was progressing rapidly and that a September opening was anticipated. A $100,000 donation was received and the contributor challenged the community to match the donation. At this point, an additional $38,000 has been received toward the match and another donation was anticipated within the next month. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that there has never been any official discussion that 10,000 square feet of the new building would not be utilized. He explained that the new library will be a 46,000 square foot facility that has been authorized by the State as a mixed use facility (library, meeting rooms, conference rooms, etc.); however, the primary use of the facility must be a library. He noted that concerns had been relayed regarding the reduction of the operation hours of the current library, which was due to the reduction in staff. He did not anticipate that the entire 46,000 square foot space would be opened when the new library is officially opened because he was unsure what the staffing situation would be at that time. He assured members that discussions in this regard will become more detailed and technical between now and September. CDBG Program Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Director, reported on the Status of FY2010 CDBG Projects as of December 2011. Housing and Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Fund) Mrs. Tracey Harvey, Community Development Director, reviewed the Update on the Housing and Recovery Act of 2008 Funds (Neighborhood Stabilization Program). Schutte Park Space - Boys and Girls Club Mr. Scott Brown, Board President of the Boys and Girls Club, reminded members that several years ago, the City of Dover earmarked land to be donated to the Boys and Girls Club to build a facility at Schutte Park. Mr. Brown noted that the Boys and Girls Club's lease with the Dover Housing Authority at Simon Circle will expire in January 2013. The State of Delaware’s corporate Boys and Girls Club

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 8 supports the proposed plan for the Dover facility and will be launching a $10M State-wide capital campaign, and $4.5M of this amount has been earmarked for the Dover Club facility. Mr. Brown stated that the results of a recent feasibility study were very favorable and it was anticipated that, based on preliminary costs for a four (4) phase project, there will be enough funds to complete all but the final phase. Mr. Wayne Sharp, Becker Morgan Group, reviewed a proposed plan for the Boys and Girls Club. He noted that the project would involve four (4) phases, as follows: Phase 1 - half of a gym, an administration area, lockers, restroom facilities, a computer room, offices, a mechanical area, classrooms, etc; Phase 2 - a four (4) classroom addition; Phase 3 - the second half of the gym and restroom facilities and lockers to support the addition; and Phase 4 - a two (2) story wing, which would consist of an eight (8) classroom addition. Members viewed a “fly-around” video depicting the proposed area and structure. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sharp stated that if the facility is to be used as a true emergency facility, it would be necessary to re-evaluate the construction of the gymnasium area. Responding to Mr. Carter, Mr. Brown stated that once final approval is received from the City, they will be ready to begin the process of construction. Since the current lease will expire in January 2013, he stated that the goal was to complete the project as close to that date as possible and anticipated a Spring 2013 completion date. He noted that total construction time is scheduled to be six (6) to seven (7) months, including site work. Dover Youth Advisory Committee Mrs. Russell reported that the Dover Youth Advisory Committee held a “Holiday Gathering.” She noted that the reappointment of members was scheduled for consideration later in the evening during the Regular Council Meeting. Mr. Anderson requested that members be provided a report on affordable housing during their next meeting Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee report, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 9, 2012 The Utility Committee met on January 9, 2012 with Chairman Bonar presiding. Disposition of City Owned Land and Sewer Infrastructure – Dover East Pump Station #12 Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, presented members with a request regarding the proposed transfer of ownership of the Dover East Sanitary Sewer Pumping Station #12 from the City of Dover to Kent County. He explained that for over five (5) years, the Grandview, M&S, and Oak Grove Mobile Home Communities have experienced various issues related to the appropriate functioning of the private sewage facilities associated with these locations. These issues led to environmental concerns as well as numerous investigations toward a means to preserve the low income housing option in the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 9 area. In March 2011, Kent County proposed that the three (3) communities become an extension to Kent County Sewage Disposal District No. 1, including the smaller Kent County parcels immediately adjacent to the communities, as only M&S was located on a City of Dover parcel. The flow from these areas would discharge to the City’s Dover East Pump Station #12. The flow would be deducted from the City’s monthly Kent County wastewater bill. He assured members that the City would not lose any existing or future customers. Mr. Koenig advised members that this proposal was negotiated and accepted by the previous administration, which allowed the County to proceed with the District expansion and to apply for the appropriate funding. Since that time, the County has been informed that they will be unable to receive the necessary funding for the project unless the scope changes. As such, they have requested to take ownership of Dover East Pump Station #12. They will upgrade the station and reroute the flow directly to the Kent County Bypass Line. In turn, they would not be required to pay City of Dover sanitary sewer impact fees for connection. Mr. Koenig noted that, over the past few years, the abandonment of the Dover East Pump Station and the installation of an associated gravity line were included with the Capital Investment Plan (CIP). This project was to be coordinated with the construction of a new pump station in the Rojan Meadows subdivision. The project cost was $253,800. Due to the delay in the construction of this subdivision and the existing station’s pressing need for an upgrade, the CIP project was to be converted from an abandonment project to an upgrade project at similar cost. Should the County’s proposal be accepted, this project can instead be removed in its entirety, which would save the City $253,800. Ownership of the pump station by the County would eliminate all immediate and future operational, maintenance, and capital costs. Mr. Koenig advised members that a parcel of land exists in conjunction with the pump station. Staff has determined that the pump station and associated parcel of land are excess in nature and their disposal would be beneficial to the City of Dover. Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to sell the property located within the Dover East Mobile Home Community, in addition to the sanitary sewer pump station and associated infrastructure contained therein, to Kent County for $1.00 under Exception C of the Land Disposal Policy. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation that the property located within the Dover East Mobile Home Community, in addition to the sanitary sewer pump station and associated infrastructure contained therein, be sold to Kent County for $1.00 under Exception C of the Land Disposal Policy. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Review of Utility Related Capital Investment Plan (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Members reviewed a Project Tracking Report, as of November 30, 2011, for the Utility Related (Electric and Water/Wastewater) Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 10 reviewed the Water/Wastewater Report and noted that the Route 13 Water Main Project was near completion and that the actual construction portion was complete. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Koenig stated that questions raised by a customer regarding a section of the lining project in East Lake Gardens appeared to have been resolved; the customer seemed to be reasonably satisfied and no further concerns have been received by staff. He noted that there was a problem with one of the lines near the new Library site and that corrective measures have been taken to resolve the issue. Mr. Koenig advised members that it would be difficult to measure the savings from Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) removal because of the size and location of the lines; however, he stated that the City spent approximate $2M on the lining project, and he planned to obtain a calculation of the return on this investment at some point. He stated that this type of work has slowed with the completion of this project; however, will increase again as staff identifies new work. Mr. Jeremy Johnson, Interim Electric Director, advised members that although he did not have a full command of all the Capital Projects for the Power Plant as yet, he had an understanding of all other Electric projects and did not feel there were any issues or concerns. Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Johnson stated that internal staff and IBEW representatives investigated the recent accident which caused injuries to two (2) Electric Department employees and determined that there were three (3) issues which led to the incident, as follows: 1) improper labeling on the equipment when installed; 2) proper procedures were not followed in testing equipment; and 3) the employees were not wearing proper protective equipment (fire retardant shirt, pants, gloves, safety goggles, and a hard hat). He noted that the individual who sustained the most injuries was not wearing any of the protective equipment. Mr. Johnson assured members that measures will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 9, 2012 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on January 9, 2012 with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Report by Dover Human Relations Commission During their meeting of September 26, 2011, the Committee recommended that the Dover Human Relations Commission (DHRC) conduct a self-review and report back within three (3) months with suggestions to make operations more effective. As directed, Mr. Roy Sudler, Jr., Chairman of the DHRC, submitted a Summary Review and Recommendations for the DHRC, dated January 6, 2012, as a follow-up to the DHRC - 2011 Annual Report.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 11 In response to Mr. Hare regarding the need for a Youth Commission (Recommendation #3), Mr. Sudler felt that the youth in the community could provide the DHRC with guidance and insight as to how conditions could be improved in the community. He suggested that the youth may be able to offer their perspective on the causes of gang violence, juvenile delinquency, and other disruptive behavior. He suggested that a representative of the Dover Youth Advisory Commission attend meetings of the DHRC periodically to relay such information. Mr. Sudler advised members that the minutes of the DHRC include details regarding the accomplishments of the Commission. In regard to the suggested youth member for the DHRC, Dr. Jones suggested that consideration be given to including more than one (1) additional member, noting that it could be very intimidating for young people when they are among adult members. Council President Leary suggested that the City pursue Recommendations #1 and #6, which he felt were very similar. Dr. McGlumphy thanked the DHRC for the presentation and for clarifying the purpose and role of the DHRC and wished them well in future endeavors. The Committee recommended acceptance of the Summary Review and Recommendations for the DHRC, as presented. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Staff Recommendation - Economic Development Office Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reviewed a memorandum submitted to members outlining a recommendation for restructuring the City’s Economic Development Office and the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). It was noted that the date “February 1, 2011” on the second page of the memorandum should indicate “February 1, 2012.” He explained that this was the first of a series of recommendations that he would be bringing forward regarding the City’s restructuring. Mr. Anderson relayed concerns with the recommendation, noting that the DDP has several upcoming projects worth millions of dollars, such as the North Street Project, the “old C-Moore’s” building, refinancing, etc., and questioned if the recommendation should become effective with the new fiscal year rather than February 1, 2012. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that the February 1, 2012 date is negotiable, depending upon Council’s desire. He explained the necessity for staff to have a clear path forward on this issue, since staff will soon begin the development of the Fiscal Year 2013 Budget. Mr. Anderson suggested that the proposed date for the changes be delayed to avoid risking millions of dollars in future funding with the State of Delaware. Mr. Koenig explained that any delay in the implementation of the recommendations could negatively affect staffing; therefore, the sooner the decision is made with regard to staffing and the employees are transferred accordingly, the better.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 12 He assured members that the projects mentioned by Mr. Anderson would have staff support and that the City would not allow the DDP to fail on these projects. In response to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig indicated no objection to having the DDP comment on the recommendations; however, he reminded members that the recommendations involve City employees. He noted that the amount of the Business Improvement District (BID) tax is between $57,000 and $58,000 and that the recommendation would include transferring these funds for Fiscal Year 2013. Mr. Koenig indicated no objection to Mr. Hare’s suggestion to delay implementation of the recommendations for 60 days (until April 1st) to allow for the DDP to hire a new director. With reference to the number of positions, Mr. Koenig stated that if the recommendations were adopted, two (2) of the three (3) positions would be eliminated in the Fiscal Year 2013 Budget (the Administrative Assistant position in the Economic Development Division and the Downtown Coordinator position). The Economic Development Manager position would be reclassified as a Coordinator in the Planning Office. This would result in the elimination of two (2) positions. Mr. Hare felt that there may be a need for an executive session to discuss this matter in further detail. Concurring with the need to delay the recommendations, Dr. Jones relayed her concern for those employees who may be impacted by this transition and the negative impact on employee morale. She felt that this was a crucial issue that should be considered by staff. Referring to Recommendation #5, which would offer the current Downtown Coordinator a position as a union employee, Dr. Jones questioned if there were union requirements for posting the position (in-house). Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that he just received a letter from the union indicating their objections to the recommendation and, although staff had not been able to fully evaluate the objections, he advised members that in accordance with the IUE-CWA Union Contract, the City Manager has the right to assign staff. Mr. Lynn indicated his objection to the recommendations and requested that the Committee table the matter to allow a more thorough review. He felt that it would be a critical mistake to consider assigning an economic development staff member to the Planning Office, explaining that there would be conflict of interest issues. Mr. Lynn stated that it was imperative that the integrity of Planning Office opinions (as they relate to site plans, subdivisions, conditional use, rezoning, etc.) be protected from accusations of bias. He explained that any economic development professional would cultivate projects that must go before the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and City Council. If there were an economic development professional under the Planning Office, he felt that the Planning Director’s independence in these matters would be compromised. In addition, it was his feeling that moving the economic development professional under the Planning Office would diminish this position. Mr. Lynn stated his grave concerns with the entire proposal and cautioned members regarding the message that would be given to the business community, particularly in the current economic climate, that the City is not serious about economic development. He rejected the argument entirely that the proposal was budgetary. He reminded members that during a recent presentation by

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 13 Mr. William Neaton, Economic Development Director, it was stated that the revenue generated by the Economic Development Office exceeded the overhead of the Department; therefore, he questioned why the City would consider “cutting” a profitable department. Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated no objections to moving the economic development professional position to serve under the City Manager’s Office. His only reason for putting it under the Planning Office was due to the fact that the position was originally created in the Planning Office. With regard to the statement made by Mr. Neaton, Mr. Koenig stated that he has no formula that would prove that the statement is factual. Concurring that the function of the Economic Development Office was important, it was his feeling that the proposal presented was an option that supported and continued the function of economic development for the City. Although it would not continue as a “stand alone” office down the street from City Hall, he assured members that the proposal maintained the function and position, which would provide a point of contact for the City. As to the issue regarding which department the economic development position would be responsible to report to, he reiterated his agreement to change that to the City Manager’s Office. Mr. Koenig explained that, as City Manager, he must address a very large budget deficit and other issues associated with the general governance of the City. He stated that the proposal presented was developed based on all of the information that he had obtained and noted that not all information was public. Mr. Hare stated that although Mr. Neaton had indicated that the revenue generated by the Economic Development Office exceeded the overhead of the Department, a report reflecting the details has not been provided to members. In addition, he stated that Dr. McGlumphy requested a Jobs Report which has not been provided to members. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that the Jobs Report was submitted to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee earlier in the day and that he would forward it to members of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee as well. In response to Council President Leary, Mr. Koenig stated that if the proposed changes were adopted, the City would have an Economic Development Coordinator position either within the City Manager’s Office or another City office that would serve as the point of contact for all economic development activities for the City. He did not anticipate that the position would function any differently than currently, with the exception of the location of the office being within City Hall and a title change, since there would no longer be an office director. At the request of Council President Leary, Mr. Greg Moore, President of the DDP, advised members that the City Manager’s proposal had not yet been presented to the Board of Directors. However, he stated that the executive team of the DDP had reviewed and discussed it. He stated that the DDP understands that the City has budget issues and that changes must be made and the organization would like to work with the City in this regard. Mr. Moore indicated that the DDP was agreeable to reductions and felt that the memorandum presented by the City Manager would begin the process. He noted that the DDP is prepared for a reduction in staff and to hire a new Executive Director with the BID tax money. Mr. Moore stated that the only concern of the DDP was the need for administrative support and relayed the importance of having the City’s Controller/Treasurer working

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 14 with the DDP funds, particularly during this period when there were funds involving incomplete projects. Reiterating that the DDP felt confident that an Executive Director could be hired with the BID tax money, he stated that with administrative help from the City, the DDP could continue with their projects, explaining that the DDP did not feel it was essential for the DDP to have three (3) staff members. With regard to the proposed date for implementation (February 1, 2012), Mr. Moore stated concurrence with the desire to implement the change as soon as possible, explaining that it would not be fair to the DDP staff or Board of Directors to be in limbo for any length of time. He stated that the DDP would like to move forward and create a new plan. However, he requested that members provide him the opportunity to work with Mr. Koenig on a few of the issues of concern, such as administrative support, and to present the proposal to the Board of Directors to obtain their input. He stated that the next Board meeting was scheduled for February 2, 2012. Responding to Council President Leary, Mr. Moore stated that the memorandum had been forwarded to members of the Board; therefore, he felt confident that a response could be provided soon after the Board’s meeting on February 2, 2012. Mr. Moore noted that there had been considerable debate in the City and with City Council in regard to the Economic Development Office, which he felt had affected the DDP in terms of the energy being created and work being done. Although the DDP was involved with economic development as it relates to their purchases and moving projects forward, he explained that the DDP is not the economic development office for the City and that the DDP is very focused on a very small downtown area. In this regard, he stated that the proposal submitted by Mr. Koenig would address some of the concerns of the DDP and is considered a strong move to resolve some of these issues. Mr. Bonar stated that until staff presents details regarding the amount of money the proposal would save the City, he was not prepared to vote on the issue. At the request of Mrs. Williams, Mr. Koenig estimated that approximately $88,000 to $100,000 would be saved in the Fiscal Year 2013 Budget, since the amount saved would consist of the salary and benefits of an Administrative Assistant position and the Downtown Coordinator position. He assured members that staff could determine these amounts and report back. Mr. Hare requested that staff provide an income and expense report of the Economic Development Office, since its inception in 2008. Mr. Lynn questioned what the proposal would cost the City due to the lack of a dedicated, full-time economic development position and if such a cost could be quantified, and he stated the importance of the perception of the business community that the City has someone actively recruiting businesses to the City to ensure that the City is competitive with other similarly situated municipalities. Responding, Mr. Koenig reiterated that the City of Dover would still maintain an Economic Development Office and economic development position that would receive administrative support to carry on the economic development function for the City as he described. Although there would be a change to the office location, he assured members that the function would remain the same.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 15 Mr. Hare noted that prior to 2008, the City of Dover grew nicely; therefore, the perception of the City must have been good since the City attracted businesses such as Sam’s Club, WalMart, Sunroc, etc. When the full-time Mayor position was created, he stated that the Mayor was designated to serve as the City’s economic development representative to work with the City Manager and Kent County. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Lynn noted that in reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, the manufacturing industry in Kent County represented only 3% of the economy, while the fastest growing sector of the economy was the service industry. He explained that this sector does not provide the type of jobs which can support a family. He felt that these facts actually prove that the local economy has begun to crumble during the past 25 years. The Committee recommended that the proposal be tabled to allow the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Board to submit a response. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Staff Recommendation - Community Development Office Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that the City’s Community Development Program administers funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program which are distributed to the City by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In recent years, the City’s funding allocation has been cut. The federal grant guidelines allow for up to 20% of the allocation to be used for program administration. As the City’s allocation shrinks, the amount of money available to support program administration is proportionally reduced. The presence of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and administrative dollars utilized from this funding, have helped to reduce the General Fund’s subsidy to the CDBG administration. Mrs. Townshend advised members that, with anticipated funding for the upcoming program year, it was expected that the City would be able to spend less than $50,000 of the grant allocation on program administration. The Fiscal Year 2012 budget for program administration is approximately $75,000 ($72,493 comprising personnel costs). In reviewing how the City could reduce program costs and gain efficiency in expenditure of program administration funds, staff has considered streamlining the subgrant process. She noted that this proposal was submitted to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee for their review earlier in the day and has been approved and accepted by HUD. With gaining efficiency due to streamlining of program administration, staff recommended that they be authorized to restructure the Community Development Program and what is currently the Community Development Manager position to allow for this position to take on additional responsibilities outside the Community Development Program. She reminded members that one of the planners left the Planning Office in September 2011, after the Planning Office had taken on administration of the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. This has added an increased burden to the existing planning staff. By moving the Community Development Program under the Planning Office and retitling the Community Development Manager position to

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 16 a Planner I, Mrs. Townshend explained that she would have more flexibility in assigning the workload among the members of the Planning Staff. If Council concurs with this reorganization, she assured members that she would work with the Principal Planner to distribute the workload associated with the CDBG program, permit review, and MS4 administration in a way that provides quality customer service, acceptable turnaround time on permit review, and staffing to ensure that the City’s obligations under the MS4 permit are met. Mrs. Townshend advised members that the employee who currently serves as the Community Development Manager has been made aware of the proposal. She noted that the Community Development Manager is a pay grade 120, and the Planner I is a pay grade 117; therefore, no pay adjustment is necessary since the employee’s current salary is within the range for a Planner I. Mrs. Townshend assured members that it is very common for Community Development and Planning to be combined, noting that the comparable position (Community Development Manager) for the State of Delaware is a professional planner. She indicated that the City of Newark employee who administers the CDBG Program is a professional planner whose job responsibilities are very similar to staff’s recommendation. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend confirmed that the recommendation would eliminate the need to fill the vacant position in the Planning Office; therefore, there would be a savings for the City in this respect. She explained that next year’s budget would not include a Community Development Manager position, since that employee will occupy the Planner position currently vacant in the Planning Office. She also confirmed that the recommendation would allow the Department to operate more effectively. She stated that, upon approval by Council, the current Community Development Manager would begin training sessions in planning offered by the University of Delaware. Mr. Hare felt that the matter should be tabled to allow further discussion in executive session. The Committee recommended to table the matter to allow further discussion, possibly in executive session. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Clarification of Action Taken on August 8, 2011 - Reconsideration of Review and Recommendation - Filling Critical Positions as a Standing Agenda Item and Review of Necessary Documentation for Requests for Filling Critical Positions During their Regular Meeting of August 22, 2011, City Council approved the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee’s recommendation (of August 8, 2011) to remove the Filling of Critical Positions as a standing agenda item and affirmation and adoption of the current and proposed hiring process for filling vacant or new positions, including submission of a Permission to Recruit Form, a Hiring Justification Outline Form, and a Wage and Benefit Information for Employee Hiring and Transfers Form.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 17 Council President Leary requested clarification regarding the intent of the Committee’s recommendation from August 8, 2011, noting a recent misunderstanding among members of Council and staff. Dr. McGlumphy assured members that the actions taken by those involved in an agenda preparation meeting were not meant to usurp and that there was an apparent misunderstanding. He expressed his concern regarding the current economic situation and how it has been and will be affecting the City of Dover, as staff and Council move forward with the preparation of the City’s budget. Council President Leary again requested clarification from the Committee regarding their motion and if it was their intent that no position requests be brought forward. Responding, Mr. Anderson felt that it was the Committee’s intention to remove the standing agenda item for consideration of filling critical positions; however, he stated that such requests could be brought forward as long as the request met those very strict criteria that were established and approved by Council on August 22, 2011 for those positions that become vacant that would affect public or employee safety or cause financial harm to the City. For clarification, Mr. Lynn suggested that the Committee take action to re-adopt their proposal, as set forth during their meeting of August 8, 2011, with an amendment to the first paragraph to replace the word “will” with “shall.” It was his feeling that the amendment would eliminate any ambiguity and avoid misunderstandings in the future. Mr. Hutchison requested that such requests be presented to the City Manager and Controller/Treasurer for their review and recommendation prior to the Committee’s consideration. The Committee recommended amending the first paragraph in the process for filling critical positions by replacing the word “will” with “shall” and that such requests be forwarded to the City Manager and Controller/Treasurer for their review and recommendation prior to the Committee's consideration. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Review of Travel Policy Members reviewed a revised City of Dover Training, Conference & Travel Policy. Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, advised members that after reviewing the Travel Policy, the only amendment proposed by staff at this time was to change the mileage reimbursement from .51 cents to .40 cents per mile. The Committee recommended approval of the revised City of Dover Training, Conference & Travel Policy. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation (Exhibit #1), seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 18 Sponsorship of Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund Grant Application by Calpine Corporation (Garrison Oak Technical Park) Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that the City of Dover purchased the Garrison Oak Technical Park with funds allocated by the State Bond Bill in 1999. The City has been working on the subdivision and infrastructure construction plans associated with the Garrison Oak site since 2010, and the Dover Sun Park became operational in 2011. The State’s FY 2012 budget includes $40 Million in funding for the Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund to be administered by the Delaware Economic Development Office. The City had urged local legislators to support this funding, with the intent that this would support infrastructure development of the Garrison Oak Technical Park. Mrs. Townshend explained that under the program, private businesses are the eligible grant recipients with municipal sponsorship. The City of Dover has been working with Calpine Corporation, who plans to develop a dual-fueled, combined-cycle power plant on one of the parcels of the Garrison Oak Technical Park. Calpine made a presentation on their plans to the Utility Committee on July 11, 2011. Calpine is preparing an application for funding through the Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund, and staff recommended that the City of Dover be the municipal sponsor of the grant application. The funds sought would allow for construction of sewer, water and road infrastructure necessary to allow the Calpine project to move forward and to make other lots in the Garrison Oak Technical Park accessible and more marketable. If Calpine is awarded the grant, all grant funds would be transferred directly to Calpine Corporation. Once infrastructure is completed, it would be turned over to the City of Dover for ownership and maintenance. Staff recommended endorsement of the City of Dover’s sponsorship of the Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund Grant Application by Calpine Corporation. In response to Dr. McGlumphy, Mrs. Townshend reiterated that there would be no costs to the City whatsoever, since the City would not be the recipient of the grant. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City would be responsible for ownership and maintenance of the infrastructure once it is turned over to the City. The Committee recommended endorsement of the City’s sponsorship of the Delaware New Jobs Infrastructure Fund Grant Application. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Disposition of City Owned Land - Property Located at 120 W. Loockerman Street Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that the City recently received a request from the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), as a part of the planned design and construction of the proposed North Street improvements, to determine whether or not the parcel of land located at 120 West Loockerman Street is excess property. He stated that the parcel of land was formerly a small park and parking area that supported the downtown business district. The park and a majority of the parking area were demolished previously; therefore, this land has been mostly idle for a

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 19 number of years. Transfer of this parcel to the DDP would allow for the consolidation of a number of land parcels and would also result in a significant capital improvement in the downtown area. Ultimately, the consolidated area would include an improved plaza, parking, and several potential building sites. Mr. Koenig stated that, in accordance with Exception D (Donation of Land to Non-Profit Organizations) of the Land Disposal Policy, City Council has the right to make a donation of a parcel of excess land to a non-profit organization if, in their opinion, the donation would be in the best interest of the City of Dover. The tax assessed value of this parcel is $113,500. Staff recommended donating this parcel of land to the DDP in lieu of payment for the parcel since the overall project cost for all of the North Street Projects is $3,000,000. Payment for the parcel would reduce the funds available for the construction of the project and thus may reduce the overall effectiveness of the proposed project. As such, staff requested authorization to transfer the property located at 120 W. Loockerman Street to the Downtown Dover Partnership for $1.00 under Exception D (Donation of Land to Non-Profit Organizations) of the Land Disposal Policy. Mayor Carey indicated that he had received telephone calls from several individuals who were not opposed to the disposition of the land; however, they requested that the new owners retain the dedication of property to be known as the “Bobby Chamber Walkway.” Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that there is a dedication plaque and he assured members that he has had discussions with representatives of the DDP and that there are no objections to retaining such dedication. The Committee recommended approval of staff’s recommendation to authorize the City Manager to transfer the property located at 120 W. Loockerman Street to the Downtown Dover Partnership for $1.00 under Exception D of the Land Disposal Policy. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Public Comment Period Ms. Sherry Wright, of 927 S. DuPont Highway in Felton, referred to a recent incident that occurred a few weeks ago on New Street where a young man was murdered. She advised members that when the incident occurred, her son was standing by the victim. She requested that the Dover Police Department be required to take some type of sensitivity training in handling young adults, as this was a highly intense situation, and it was her opinion that the police officers did not handle the situation with consideration of those who witnessed the incident. In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig indicated that he, as City Manager, is responsible for the Garrison Oak Technical Park Project. Mr. Hutchison requested that staff provide a 30-day update on the project. By consent agenda, Mr. Bonar moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mrs. Williams and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 20 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT - JANUARY 23, 2012 The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met on January 23, 2012 with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Except for the following time sensitive issue, the LF&A Committee Report from January 23, 2012 will be presented to Council during their Regular Meeting of February 13, 2012 for Council’s review and consideration.) Proposed Resolution #2012-02 - Requesting the General Assembly to Amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, of the City of Dover Charter During the Committee meeting held earlier in the evening, members considered Proposed Resolution #2012-02, requesting the General Assembly to amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, of the City of Dover Charter. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that the proposed amendment would expand and clarify the purposes for debt issuance without a referendum vote by inserting specific uses of general obligation debt which would be secured by the full faith and credit of the City. She noted that there would still be a referendum requirement when the debt issuance would exceed one-fourth of one percent of the taxable assessed value of real property. The Committee recommended approval of Proposed Resolution #2012-02, requesting the General Assembly to Amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, of the City of Dover Charter. Dr. McGlumphy moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bonar, and by a roll call vote of eight (8) yes and one (1) no (Mr. Anderson), Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-02, as follows: BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That the Mayor and Council have determined that the Charter of the City of Dover should be amended to expand and clarify the purposes for which bonds may be issued without a referendum vote. Therefore, the Mayor and Council of the City of Dover respectfully request the General Assembly of the State of Delaware to amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, paragraph (c) of its Charter, which amendments, if adopted by the General Assembly, would be as follows: CITY OF DOVER CHARTER - ARTICLE IV - FINANCIAL AFFAIRS Sec. 50. - Debt limit. (a) Whenever the needs of the city shall require more money than is at the time in the city treasury from current receipts, the council shall be authorized and empowered to anticipate current revenue by borrowing such sums as shall be needed not in excess of one percent of the total taxable assessment for a general tax. The amount so borrowed shall be paid back out of current revenue received thereafter.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 21 To exercise the power aforesaid the council shall adopt a resolution to that effect, which resolution shall require the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of all the members of the council, and the approval of the mayor. The indebtedness created under this section shall be evidenced by the bond, or note, of the city, and the faith and credit of the city shall be deemed to be pledged thereby. (b) The mayor and council is hereby authorized and empowered to borrow from time to time on the faith and credit of the City of Dover sums of money for such purposes as may be deemed necessary and proper by the mayor and council of the said city which purpose shall be consistent with the powers conferred upon the mayor and council of the City of Dover by the Charter thereof, as amended, for the management and maintenance of the said city and for these purposes the mayor and council shall have full power and authority to issue bonds of the said "City of Dover." The aggregate of the amounts so borrowed together with all other bonded indebtedness for which the full faith and credit of the City of Dover has been pledged shall not at any time exceed a sum equal to five percent of the total assessed value of real property situate within the bounds of the City of Dover as such boundaries shall from time to time appear. The said bonds shall be issued in one or more series, shall bear such date or dates, shall mature at such time or times, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall be payable at such time or times, and at such place or places, shall be in such denominations, and shall contain such other provisions as the mayor and council may provide and shall be set forth in the said bonds. Said bonds may or may not be coupon bonds and may be registered or otherwise as the mayor and council deem advisable. The mayor and council shall direct and effect the preparation and sale of said bonds at such time or times, at such price or prices, and upon such terms as the said mayor and council deem advisable, and all the monies arising from the sale of said bonds shall be used for the municipal purposes of the City of Dover specified in the resolution authorizing their issue. The form of said bonds and of any coupons which may be thereunto attached shall be as prescribed by the mayor and council, and all such bonds shall be signed by the mayor and the treasurer of the City of Dover and sealed with the corporate seal thereof. Facsimile signatures of the mayor and treasurer and a facsimile of the corporate seal may be imprinted upon such bonds and any coupons attached to said bonds in lieu of the signatures of the said mayor and treasurer in their own handwriting and of the affixing of the corporate seal itself. Said bonds of the City of Dover shall be exempt from all state, county and municipal taxes. The mayor and council of the City of Dover are hereby authorized and required to levy and raise by taxation in each and every year such sums of money as may be required to pay the interest accrued on said bonds while all or any of said bonds remain unpaid, and the said mayor and the city council are further authorized and required to levy and raise by taxation, from time to time such sum or sums of money as shall be needed to establish such sinking

A statement appearing in the bonds issued under the provisions of this section to the effect that the bonds have been duly authorized shall be deemed and held to be conclusive evidence in favor of the lawful holder of any such bonds that the terms and conditions of this section have been fully met and complied with. (c) Bonds may be authorized and issued pursuant to subsection (b), without a referendum vote, by a resolution of the council which shall have the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members thereof and the approval of the mayor, for the following purposes: (i) To finance capital projects, including, but not limited to, public storm sewers, water mains, sewer mains, streets and public buildings provided that no more than ¼ of one percent (.25%) of taxable assessed value of real property of aggregate principal amount of general obligation bonds may be issued at any one time pursuant to this clause and any new bonds issued pursuant to this clause may not cause the total aggregate principal amount of general obligation bonds outstanding at any one time to exceed one percent of the total taxable assessment for a general tax at the time such new bonds are issued; and (ii) To refund bonds secured by the city's full faith and credit, prior to their stated maturity, provided that (A) the present value of the aggregate principal and interest payments of the refunding bonds are not greater than the present value of the aggregate principal and interest payments on the bonds to be refunded determined by discounting at the effective interest rate on the refunding bonds, calculated based on the internal rate of return: and (B) at the time of issuance of the refunding bonds there are deposited in escrow, pledged to secure the refunded bonds, sufficient monies and/or direct obligations of, or obligation the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by, the United States government, which, without regard to any reinvestment earnings, will be sufficient to pay when due all interest, principal and redemption price on the refunded bonds at maturity or upon earlier call for redemption. ADOPTED: JANUARY 23, 2012 Dr. McGlumphy moved for acceptance of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 23 QUARTERLY REVENUE REPORT Mrs. Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the Revenue Report as of December 31, 2011. She noted that the report included updated FY2012 projections and briefed members on those changes. Responding to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the forecasted revenues for this year in the amount of $1.2M are based on the assumption that current trends will continue; however, she anticipated that the City will be over budgeted projections due to five (5) large transfer tax receipts totaling $696,000. She cautioned members that these receipts are larger than those received for one- time receipts during most previous years and that transfer taxes are tracking lower than anticipated in the budget. Mrs. Mitchell explained that, apart from the large transfers previously mentioned, year to date receipts for residential homes totaled $266,000, which is far below budgeted projections. With regard to funds received through the Red Light Enforcement Program, she felt that these revenues would continue to decrease, explaining that once drivers are made aware of the cameras, the violations decrease. In response to Mr. Anderson, Major Bernat confirmed that the City currently has the maximum number of Red Light Enforcement cameras permitted. Mr. Anderson noted that the report reveals a substantial difference in revenue from projections. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the reduction in revenues totaled $618,000; however, the projected increase in revenues total $350,000, resulting in a net reduction in the amount of $268,000. She stated that changes in other revenues, such as police fines, property taxes, etc., were anticipated and these revisions had not yet been made. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that she would be working with staff regarding the possibility of making such revisions for the future. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding long-term delinquencies, Mr. Koenig stated that the City is owed approximately $900,000 in delinquent taxes and that $700,000 of that delinquency is for one (1) year. He anticipated that many of these delinquencies would be paid as a result of the “clean hands” ordinance. At the request of Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig indicated that staff could provide members with the amount of the delinquencies which are residential versus commercial. In response to Mr. Lynn, Mr. Koenig stated that the City waits approximately two (2) years before beginning monitions procedures. He explained that the delay is due to the understanding that there is a backlog at the Sheriff’s Office regarding foreclosures. Mr. Lynn suggested that the City consider becoming more aggressive with collections and that the City Solicitor’s Office could assist in this matter. Mr. Bonar urged staff and members of Council to pay close attention to legislation during the upcoming legislative year, noting that there are several issues and initiatives on the “back burner” that could have a dramatic impact on the City’s ability to raise funds, as well as the City’s ability to charge for electric services in the future. He suggested that a staff member within the City Manager’s Office be assigned, as a priority, to monitor legislation.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 24 Mr. Hutchison reminded members that Mayor Wright serves as the Executive Director for the League of Local Governments, which is a full-time position, and that his job is to monitor legislation that may affect municipalities. Mr. Hare moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of December 31, 2011, seconded by Mr. Hutchison and unanimously carried. CONFIRMATION OF POLICE PENSION ELECTION - RETIRED CPL.

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Preliminary estimate is $5,000 - $10,000. AMOUNT BUDGETED: $100,000 Budgeted for all demolitions Citywide in the FY-2012 Budget; As of January 27, 2012, $25,198.16 remains in line item. FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): 110-1600-534-30-33 – Page 155 in the FY 2012 Operating Budget. TIMETABLE: As soon as possible. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Declare this building dangerous. 2.

Order the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of repairs to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The property is owned by Jackie S. Powell. This is a two-story, mid-block townhouse that has been the subject of recent neighbor complaints and concerns regarding potential hoarding. The house had been the subject of numerous code enforcement violations since 2005, including tall grass and weeds, overgrowth, and exterior violations. In Septmeber 2011, Code Enforcement staff attempted to make contact with the owner of the residence, but was unable. The owner did not respond to phone calls, visits to the property, or posting of notices at the property. On November 21, 2011, the Code Enforcement staff, with support from Dover Police Department, entered the property with a search warrant. It appears that the owner has vacated the property. The home is full of clutter, garbage, debris and other effects. Staff observed no path of travel through the residence. Restrooms were not accessible, and the areas surrounding the restroom was cluttered with urine-filled soda bottles and bags containing fecal matter and used feminine hygene products. Staff continues to be unable to make contact with the owner. The house has been vacated and utilities have been disconnected. As the unit is a mid-block townhouse, Staff requests that Council order the property cleaned, not demolished. State statute would not permit a lien to be placed for the expenses of interior abatement. Staff recommends that these expenses be recovered through suit.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The property is owned by Deborah D. Statler. This is a one-story single family dwelling that has been the subject of numerous code enforcement violation cases and neighbor complaints over the past 14 years. Since 1998, there have been 35 code enforcement cases regarding various property code violations, including tall grass and weeds, junk and debris, unregistered vehicle, exterior violations, and interior insanitary conditions. In May 2006, City staff condemned the residence for insanitary conditions and inadequate egress due to clutter. Following the condemnation, progress was made on removing clutter and the case was closed as compliance made. On September 25, 2006, City Council declared the pool in the rear yard of the property dangerous and ordered it repaired or demolished. In the months and years that followed, the demolition of the pool was delayed due to legal concerns related to Ms. Statler’s bankruptcy. During this time, the pool remained non-compliant with City code requirements. In September 2010, after the City was determined to move forward with the demolition and hired a pool inspector to determine what corrections were necessary, the pool was brought into compliance for a brief time. Since this time, the pool and the remainder of the property have again fallen into disrepair. In April 2011, after several weeks of junk and debris accumulating on the property, City crews removed a large amount of junk and debris from the property. At that time, City staff observed large amounts of clutter inside the house but was unable to gain entry. Staff also observed strong odor coming from the residence. On January 1, 2012 Dover Patrolmen Wilson and Thompson responded to the property for a check on the welfare complaint. Ptlm Wilson stated he had to

climb over junk on the front porch to get to the door. Ptlm Wilson attempted to gain entry after not getting a response from the resident; he was only able to open the door six to eight inches because of junk piled on the inside of the dwelling. He noticed a strong smell of ammonia coming from the interior of the dwelling. Ptlm Thompson also complained of odor coming from the interior of the dwelling and trash littering the front porch and exterior areas. Officers located the resident in the rear yard and confirmed she was safe. On January 10, 2012 the City of Dover Animal Control Officer Mark Moore received a complaint from the Kent County SPCA that three cats were living in feces inside the home of 123 Blue Beach. Mark attempted to contact the resident at the home but no one answered the door. On January 11, 2012, Debra Statler made contact with Officer Moore and advised that the cats were fine and the odor that the officers observed might be from the cat feces as well as from the water in the basement. Ms. Statler also advised Officer Moore that he could not come in the home to see the cats, but that she will take pictures to show that they are not being abused. Officer Moore then made contact with Code Enforcement to see if they could assist him in entering the home. From these observations, the Code Enforcement staff obtained a search warrant from Court 7 to enter the home. Entry was made on January 23, at 1:30 pm by the inspections staff along with assistance from the Dover Police, Animal Control, and the State of Delaware Division of Public Health. The home is full of clutter, garbage, debris and other effects. Staff observed very little path of travel through the residence, with some rooms being completely blocked by clutter. Both bathrooms were functional, but it appears that the resident is only using the sink and toilet for sanitation purposes. Numerous items of food were observed throughout the house that were not being properly refrigerated and were in one form or other of deterioration. It was also learned the furnace is not working and the water heater had a cracked pipe causing some water damage in the basement. The home was condemned as unfit for human occupancy and boarded. The electric and water services have not been terminated, as it has been determined that the refrigerator and freezer are full of groceries. This is being brought forward as an emergency case due to the concerns that the house presents a health hazard due to the large amount of spoiled food and garbage present in the residence, and because the fire hazard that exists due to the large amount of clutter. While the City has condemned the residence, staff remains concerned that the owner may attempt to gain entry to reside in the residence and that in the event of a fire, there is no clear means of egress.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee Meeting was held on January 23, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. with Chairman Bonar presiding. Members present were Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Blakeman, and Mr. Snaman. Members of Council present were Mr. Hare, Mr. Hutchison, and Council President Leary. Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Mr. Snaman and unanimously carried. Request for Alley Abandonment (Unimproved) - 16 Sackarackin Avenue - Alexis Bailey Members were presented with a request from Ms. Alexis Bailey regarding the abandonment of the unimproved paper alley adjacent to her home located at 16 Sackarackin Avenue. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, advised members that since the submission of this request, Ms. Bailey has requested that this matter be deferred to allow her the opportunity to obtain consensus from her neighbors. Staff suggested that no further action be taken by the Committee at this time and that the matter be presented to the Committee for their consideration at a later date. The Committee took no action on this matter. Reconsideration - Cost of Service Study Mr. Bonar reminded members that during their meeting of September 26, 2011, the Committee recommended approval of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Cost of Service Study to determine the valuation of the entire City of Dover electric system and all appendices, to include generation, distribution, personnel costs, etc. As a result of recent changes in personnel and organizational structure, Mr. Bonar and Mr. Hare felt that the scope of the RFP should be further discussed. Referring to the recent “Governor’s State of the State Address” and the City’s electric utility, Mr. Hare felt that the City should determine if there is a desire to be in the business of operating an electric utility or if it should be sold. Although he agreed that the recent purchase price offered for the City’s electric utility was too low, he felt that an offer in the area of $200M, with some type of loan agreement, would be something the City should consider. Mr. Hare suggested the possibility of a 50-year, interest-bearing loan that would provide the City $8M, which would be added to the franchise of $1.4M, and property tax income of $400,000. The City would then be required to pay for electricity, estimated at $600,000 per year, resulting in a $9.2M income for the City. Mr. Hare noted that in the last 10 years, the City has averaged a $5.8M transfer from the Electric Fund to the General Fund and in the last five (5) years, the average transfer was $7.3M; therefore, the proposal would provide the City with approximately $2M in additional income. Mr. Hare reminded members that the City has not generated its own electricity in well over ten (10) years and that the City pays another company to run the City’s electric plants and pays others to purchase electricity for the City. According to the City’s former Electric Director, the City would need to spend $150M to $175M to update facilities to stay in the electric business. It was his feeling that if the City chooses not to sell the electric utility, the City should run the plants, buy its own electricity, etc., rather than paying other companies to perform these functions. Mr. Hare suggested that members of City Council determine if they wish to remain in the electric utility business and, if so, the City should assume this responsibility 100%.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 2 Mr. Hare felt that the City’s electric rates could not be competitive at the current time, considering the manner in which operations are being run. He noted the importance of being able to offer competitive rates to residential and business customers and not deter businesses from coming to Dover. He did not feel that it was necessary to spend $300,000 for a study and suggested that there are other companies that would conduct such a study at a cost of $80,000 to $100,000. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed a proposal provided by Burns & McDonnell to perform an Updated Electric Cost-of-Service and Rate Design Study for the City of Dover. She reminded members that Burns & McDonnell is the City’s current engineer for the Annual Engineering Report and they have completed the City’s electric rate study in the past. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the proposal will allow for a cost of service study to “true-up” the electric rates for the lower power supply cost. She advised members that, if approved, this study would be completed by April 2012 at a cost of $28,500. Staff recommended approval of the proposal submitted by Burns & McDonnell for a Cost-of-Service and Rate Design Study for FY 2012. In response to Mr. Blakeman’s concerns regarding the rate quote of $161 per hour (the previous rate was $104 per hour), Mrs. Mitchell stated that this was only a 3% increase compared to the last study conducted. Mrs. Williams requested that staff question why more hours would be needed to conduct the study. Mrs. Mitchell assured members that she would question the increase in hours and hourly rate and provide this information to members when the Committee’s recommendation is presented to City Council for approval. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Mrs. Mitchell provided the following information related to the increase in the rate quote: The 2008 rate study estimate was $25,000 for approximately 190 hours. This is an hourly rate of $131.58. The current 2012 rate study estimate is $28,500 for approximately 176 hours. This is an hourly rate of $161.93. If the hourly rate of $131.58 is adjusted for the four years difference in labor costs to reflect normal increases it would be approximately $150 per hour. Additionally, the individuals performing the services have had promotions which adds a little to the hourly rate. It is beneficial to involve the same individuals in the analysis as much as possible to utilize the knowledge gained on the previous work thereby completing the study more efficiently and minimizing the cost increase as much as possible.) Responding to Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Mitchell confirmed that the proposal is not predicated on selling the electric utility but would provide staff the means to prepare next year’s budget should rates need to be adjusted based on the current cost of service. Referring to the concerns regarding the hourly rate, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, suggested that members recommend approval with the inclusion of a clause stating that the amount authorized is “not to exceed $28,500,” explaining that the information to be provided by the study would be necessary to prepare the next budget. Mrs. Williams moved to recommend approval of the proposal submitted by Burns & McDonnell to perform an Updated Electric Cost-of-Service and Rate Design Study for FY 2012 at a cost not to exceed $28,500. The motion was seconded by Mr. Blakeman and carried, with Mr. Lynn voting no. TEA/NAES Monthly Report (October and November) The TEA/NAES Monthly Reports for October and November 2011 were provided to members to enable them to monitor electric sales and revenues received, which will provide a better

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 3 understanding of any fluctuations that occur and allow the opportunity to make improvements if deemed necessary. By unanimous consent, the TEA/NAES Monthly Reports for October and November were accepted as presented. Update - Calpine Corporation Project (Garrison Oak Technical Park) Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, read the following statement into the record: “Good Evening Members of the Utility Committee. I would like to provide a brief update on the status of the Calpine Corporation Project to be located on the Garrison Oak Technical Park property. As we have indicated previously, Calpine Corporation is proposing to construct a 309 megawatt, energy efficient, merchant power production facility at this location. The proposed facility will be built in phases. As we speak, staff from the Calpine Corporation is conducting their internal due diligence responsibilities and financial analysis of the project. There are a number of discussions that are occurring, including a potential Power Purchase Agreement with the City of Dover, potential city ownership of a gas pipeline, potential grant applications for state funds for infrastructure, as well as a number of other development related discussions. It is important that members of the Committee, Council, and the public understand the complexity of this project and the potential positive impact of the project on the Kent County region. Power supply plays a critical role in the economic development of our region. In addition, these types of projects require “outside of the box” thinking to deliver. As project momentum converts a number of these discussions into reality, it will be important for the Kent County region to continue supporting its new corporate partners. I appreciate the time to provide a brief overview of the status of the project.” The Committee took no action on this matter. Update - National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit With regard to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit, Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, reminded members that the City has been issued a notice of violation by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and that the deadline to respond and complete all items identified in the notice of violation was December 31, 2011, with a report due to DNREC on January 13, 2012. She advised members that the City submitted this report on January 12, 2012. Mrs. Townshend stated that the City was required to provide a stormwater management plan identifying the items that the City plans to complete over the next (3) years (the time anticipated to obtain a new permit). She noted that a draft plan was presented to DNREC; however, she was unsure how DNREC would respond. She also noted that there may be budgetary implications since some of the work will require contractual assistance (estimated at a cost of $25,000 to $50,000). The Committee took no action on this matter.

UTILITY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 4 In response to Mr. Blakeman regarding addressing the concerns raised by Mr. Hare during the discussion of “Reconsideration - Cost of Service Study,” Mr. Bonar indicated that those concerns will be considered during the Council President’s Agenda Meeting to determine how the issue will be addressed. By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 6:24 P.M. David L. Bonar Chairman DLB/TM/jg S:\AGENDAS & MINUTES\Committee-Minutes\2012\01-23-2012 UTILITY.wpd

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting was held on January 23, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. with Chairman McGlumphy presiding. Members present were Mr. Anderson (arrived at 6:35 p.m.), Mr. Hare, Dr. Jones, and Mr. Shevock. Members of Council present were Mr. Bonar, Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Lynn, and Council President Leary (departed at 7:03 p.m.). Mayor Carey was also present. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda, as presented, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Proposed Resolution #2012-02 - Requesting the General Assembly to Amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, of the City of Dover Charter Members reviewed Proposed Resolution #2012-02 that would request the General Assembly to amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, of the City of Dover Charter. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Controller/Treasurer, explained that the proposed amendment would expand and clarify the purposes for debt issuance without a referendum vote by inserting specific uses of general obligation debt which would be secured by the full faith and credit of the City. She noted that there would still be a referendum requirement when the debt issuance would exceed one-fourth of one percent of the taxable assessed value of real property. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of Proposed Resolution #2012-02, requesting the General Assembly to Amend Article IV - Financial Affairs, Section 50 - Debt Limit, of the City of Dover Charter, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Due to time constraints, it was noted that this matter has been placed on the Council agenda for the meeting being held later in the evening. Proposed Ordinance #2012-03 - Related to Senior Citizen Income Exclusions (Committee Referred This Item Back to Staff on November 14, 2011) During their meeting of November 14, 2011, the Committee considered excluding military pension as income to the Senior Citizen Property Tax Abatement at the request of a resident, Mr. Michael Smith. After much discussion, the Committee referred the matter back to staff for their review and recommendation within 90 days. Members reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2012-03, which would amend Chapter 102 - Taxation, Article VI - Exemptions; Board of Assessment Appeals, Section 102-183 - Tax Exemption for Senior Citizens by replacing the language “federal civil service retirement” with “Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)” and changing the computation of the property owner’s entitlement for the deduction from a dollar amount to a percentage of the Social Security maximum benefit. Ms. Cheryl Russell, Tax Assessor, advised members that the Senior Citizen Tax Abatement, Subsection (b) - Qualifications, Paragraph (3) Exclusions from income, currently consists of: 1) Social Security benefits; 2) railroad pensions; and 3) federal civil service retirement (150% of current Social Security limit). She stated that the federal civil service retirement was added a few years ago because it was similar to Social Security (as is the railroad pension). Those retirees who are under the “old” CSRS plan did not contribute to Social Security and do not receive this benefit

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 2 from that employment; therefore, she stated that this category was added to the income exclusions for the City of Dover Senior Citizen Tax Reduction Program. As a result of a review of the proposed ordinance by the City Solicitor, Mrs. Russell stated that the amounts were eliminated to reflect only 150% (lines 25 through 29). Ms. Russell indicated that the City was recently made aware that participants in the “new” Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) plan for Civil Service retirement do contribute to Social Security and receive both Social Security and pension from this employment; therefore, this particular plan should not be added to the exclusions for the City of Dover Senior Citizen Tax Reduction Program. The intent to add Civil Service retirement weighed heavily on the fact that the CSRS retirees do not receive a Social Security benefit. She assured members that the proposed amendment to the ordinance specifies that the third exclusion from income be limited to CSRS retirees only. Ms. Russell stated that staff did not recommend that a military pension category be added to Section (b) Exclusions to income, because members of this retirement plan also contribute to Social Security. This would allow military retirees the ability to exclude Social Security and military pension from their adjusted gross income (similar to the FERS plan). Ms. Russell indicated that the revenue impact of adding military pension to the exclusion from income qualification could not be determined. She stated that the Census Bureau does not differentiate military pensions and was not able to provide assistance. Ms. Russell reminded members that another idea which was previously discussed was to put a basic cap on the income limit with no exclusions. After reviewing this idea, she stated that the only “pro” to this approach would be elimination of the need to determine exclusions for different plans. The “cons” that staff anticipated were: 1) complication of the application process including the requirement for more documentation for seniors with Social Security income only (195 applicants); 2) discontinuation of abatement for seniors turning 65 when they begin to draw Social Security benefits; and 3) inconsistency with County income qualifications. Ms. Russell advised members that staff reviewed the possibility of adding income directly related to disability to the exclusion from income qualification. Kent County offers this deduction from the Adjusted Gross Income; however, Kent County has an income limit qualification on their disability reduction, similar to their senior citizen reduction. She indicated that once the property owner is 65 years of age, Kent County requires them to apply for a Senior Citizen reduction and they no longer qualify for the disability reduction. Kent County did not explain the reasoning behind the deduction of the income related to disability. As a result, staff could only assume that this relates to the transfer of reduction from Disability to senior citizen at the age of 65. The revenue impact of adding Income Related to Disability could not be determined. Since Kent County transfers the property owner to the Senior Citizen Reduction Program, they do not have information regarding the number of property owners that qualify or are considered disabled within the City of Dover limits. Ms. Russell stated that currently, the City of Dover does not have age or income limitations for the disability reduction. The only requirement is that individuals must be 100% disabled, as determined

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 3 by the Social Security Administration (SSA), and must provide an award letter from the SSA each year upon application. She stated that staff did not recommend deducting income directly related to disability at this time. Staff recommended amending Section 102-183 (b)(3) of the Dover Code to update the language to specify Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) as the type of Civil Service Retirement to be excluded and also to strike out the dollar amount for the maximum amount allowed for the deduction from income. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Ms. Russell indicated that the proposed amendment would not result in a change to the tax revenue since none of the seniors who have applied in the past were participants in the newer system (FERS plan). Mr. Hare stated that he was aware of individuals who have military pensions that are not large and who also collect a minimal amount of Social Security, noting that these individuals would not be eligible. It was his feeling that specifying a single income level would be more simple to apply. Clarifying, Ms. Russell stated that the qualifying income level is $17,396 for a single individual; therefore, someone collecting a military pension in the amount of $14,000 and Social Security would qualify for the exemption. The specified income level for married individuals is $23,000. Responding to Mr. Michael Smith, 208 Saxondale Lane, Mr. Anderson explained that the proposed amendment would put everyone on an equal level because the CSRS that expired in 1986 was basically a substitute for Social Security (these participants did not pay into Social Security). Under the new federal system (FERS), individuals are required to pay into Social Security and, as a result, will receive Social Security benefits, which are exempt in accordance with the Dover Code. He stated that it would not be fair to exempt Social Security income but not the CSRS since it is an equivalent to Social Security. Mr. Anderson felt that further discussion may take place in the future in regard to the consideration of military pensions and the possibility of a “blanket” exemption, as suggested by Mr. Hare. Mr. Hare reiterated that the purpose of the exemption is to help low-income individuals and noted that there are some military pensioners that would qualify and others that clearly would not qualify. Mr. Smith suggested the possibility of referring to the exemption as a “low-income tax abatement,” rather than referring to it as a tax exemption for senior citizens, and allowing anyone with less than $35,000 income to qualify. Concurring, Mr. Hare suggested amending the proposed ordinance to reflect the exemption for “low- income taxes for citizens above age 60” and stated he would prefer a flat income level amount. Mr. Bonar stated his concurrence and suggested that the matter be tabled to allow staff to clarify the language to reflect “low income tax abatement program for individuals over 60 years of age.”

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2012 PAGE 4 Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that the matter be referred back to staff for clarification of the language as discussed, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Minority Recruitment Committee Recommendations Members were reminded that the Minority Recruitment Committee (MRC) was commissioned by the former City Manager to develop recommendations to improve minority hiring for the City of Dover. The Committee held a series of meetings in 2011 and concluded their work in August 2011. Members reviewed a report that reflected the MRC deliberations and recommendations. Staff recommended acceptance of the report and requested that the recommendations be referred to staff for implementation at the appropriate time. Dr. Bobby Jones, Chair of the MRC, explained that the creation of the Committee was the result of questions and concerns that arose regarding minority recruitment for the City of Dover. She advised members that the Committee had much discussion regarding attracting employees to the City and that employee morale was also a concern. She felt that the Committee developed some very salient points regarding morale. Dr. Jones reviewed the MRC’s recommendations. In response to Mr. Anderson, Dr. Jones stated that although the Human Resources Director addressed the Committee, there was no mention of the City’s Affirmative Action Program. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, reminded members that the City is under a hiring freeze and recruitment is not staff’s highest concern at this time; however, staff has grave concerns with employee morale. He stated that the City has hard-working employees who should be recognized for the work they accomplish. Mr. Koenig noted that often work performed is not recognized as much as what does not get accomplished. He requested the opportunity to review the recommendations and provide the Committee with a recommendation within 60 days. Mr. Lynn suggested that the Mayor be included in the review of the recommendations for consideration of the Police Department. Dr. Jones stated that the Police Department was represented on the MRC and that the Department has developed a plan for the recruitment of minority police officers. Understanding that the City is under a hiring freeze, Dr. Jones requested that staff develop a strategic plan to address the recruitment of minorities and develop goals and objectives regarding this issue. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that the Minority Recruitment Committee (MRC) Report be referred to staff for a report back to the Committee within 60 days, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Public Comment Period There was no one present wishing to speak during the Public Comment Period. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Dr. Jones and unanimously carried.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Meeting was held on January 25, 2012 at 5:01 p.m. with Chairman Hutchison presiding. Members present were Mr. Lynn, Mrs. Russell (arrived at 5:02 p.m.), and Mr. Davis. Mayor Carey was also present (departed at 5:29 p.m.). Mr. Hutchison was absent. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS Mr. Lynn moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. Discussion - Establishing City Emergency Operations Center Members reviewed correspondence from Mr. Dave Truax, 35 Upland Avenue, who serves as the City’s Fire Marshal, relaying his concerns regarding the City’s lack of emergency preparedness awareness (outside of emergency services and emergency management personnel) and the need for an operational Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the City. Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, stated that the City’s emergency management function has progressed through various departments throughout the years, beginning as a part of the Grounds Department, then the Police Department, and ultimately an Emergency Management Coordinator position was created in the Public Services Department. As a part of the Emergency Management Plan developed for the City, the City Hall Conference Room was designated to serve as an Emergency Operations/Information Center. He reminded members that this Center was utilized as such during a recent hurricane and during snowstorms and met the needs for these types of emergencies. Mr. Koenig explained that the City has a basic Emergency Management Plan which has been certified as meeting minimum requirements by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA). He advised members that emergency operations functions are currently distributed among a number of staff members, including the City Manager, the Public Information Officer, the Fire Marshal, a representative of the Police Department, etc. He indicated that he would like to maintain an open position for an emergency management planner. It was his understanding that during the recent Police Department accreditation process, a previous Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at the Police Department was reestablished. Members were provided a photo of the Center and a diagram depicting the seating arrangements. Mr. Koenig questioned if the intent of the discussion was to determine if members wished to designate the Police Department versus City Hall as the EOC for the City of Dover. Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Koenig confirmed that there are no backup generators currently serving City Hall and that if power was lost during an emergency situation, it would be necessary to utilize the facility at the Police Department to conduct emergency operations. He noted that backup power is available at the Administration Building for the Electric Department. Mr. Truax explained the necessity for the City to have an Emergency Operations “mindset,” beginning with members of Council, and for each department to have a better understanding of their responsibilities. In addition, he relayed the importance of an EOC.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2012 PAGE 2 Mr. Koenig suggested a review of the parameters of the two (2) rooms proposed for use as an EOC. He recalled there being a $2,400 activation fee for the phone lines at the Police Department EOC and noted that this was one of the reasons City Hall was selected to serve as the EOC during the recent snowstorms and hurricane. Responding, Police Captain Stump stated that he was not aware of such fees and indicated that the phone lines were recently activated. Mr. Hutchison suggested that this issue be referred back to staff for the development of policies and procedures. Concurring, Mr. Lynn requested that staff develop recommendations for the Committee’s review to forward to City Council for approval. Mr. Truax requested that consideration be given to the installation of a generator at City Hall, regardless of its use as an EOC, due to the need for electric service at City Hall during an emergency. Mr. Hutchison requested that staff determine the costs involved for each of the rooms to become fully used as an EOC. Captain Mark Hall, attending on behalf of Fire Chief Fortney, noted that ambulance services for the City are provided by PrimeCare; therefore, he suggested that staff request the participation of a representative of PrimeCare in the development of their recommendations. Responding to Mr. Davis, Mayor Carey indicated that Dover High School currently serves as the City’s emergency shelter and has been used as such in the past. Mr. Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), suggested that space be allocated in the City’s EOC for the City’s Public Information Officer. Mr. Lynn moved to recommend referral back to staff for a report to the Committee at the next meeting, seconded by Mrs. Russell and unanimously carried. Update - Dover High School Construction Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided an update on the construction of the new Dover High School. She advised members that, in December, the City issued a foundation only permit for the building. The City continues to work with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Kent Conservation District, and Capital School District on completing the site development plans. She noted that building construction drawings were recently submitted and the building permit application has been completed. She anticipated that the building permit would be issued by the first week in March 2012 for the remainder of the main structure, noting that the stadium and other buildings will require separate permits.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2012 PAGE 3 Mrs. Townshend reminded members that City staff attends monthly coordination meetings with representatives of DelDOT and the consultants for the Capital School District to ensure that the project stays on track, since there are many site and location issues. She stated that, during the last coordination meeting, there was discussion regarding the east entrance (which lines up with Heatherfield East) which had been planned as a signalized intersection with a pedestrian crossing; however, the most recent submission did not show it as a signalized intersection. She explained that installation of signals typically requires a warrant analysis which documents traffic volume and is accomplished through DelDOT and she suggested that the Capital School District begin working with DelDOT on this issue. However, she noted that there are additional political and safety issues involved, explaining that there are multiple housing communities directly across the street from the school. She suggested that the City go on record in support of the signalization of the intersection at the east entrance and a pedestrian crossing, even if the traffic volume does not meet warrants since there is no other way to enable children to cross the street to access the school safely. After much discussion, Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, DelDOT, suggested that the City submit a letter to Secretary Bhatt and that Mr. Laing be copied so that he may have the opportunity to interject himself to work with the City in this regard. Responding, Mr. Hutchison suggested that such a letter be drafted and signed by the Mayor and City Manager. Mrs. Townshend offered to draft a letter in support of the signalization of the intersection at the east entrance of the new Dover High School and the inclusion of a pedestrian crossing. Due to Mr. Laing’s suggestion that this letter be submitted as expeditiously as possible, Mr. Koenig indicated that the letter would be sent by staff if there were no objections (Attachment #1). Mr. Davis moved to recommend that staff be authorized to send a letter to Secretary Bhatt relaying support of the signalization of the east entrance intersection, with pedestrian crossing, for the new Dover High School. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynn and unanimously carried. Briefing on Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Projects - Gary Laing Mr. Gary Laing, Community Relations Officer and Public Relations Liaison, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), provided members a briefing on DelDOT Projects, as follows: West Dover Connector Mr. Laing stated that DelDOT is currently in the midst of a 30-day public comment and review period (which will end on February 2, 2012) related to the environmental assessment of the West Dover Connector. If there are public comments, a period of time will be provided for response. In late February to mid-March, DelDOT plans to issue the final version of the environmental assessment. Mr. Laing stressed the need for a finding of “no significant impact” in order to proceed with the project. He indicated that DelDOT will then need to address the issue of a preferred alternative for termination of the Connector at Route 13, south of Rodney Village, and acquisition of 15 properties along the route.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2012 PAGE 4 Mr. Laing advised members that several years ago, there were picketers with signs that read “don’t take my home” in front of DelDOT’s workshop and at working group meetings associated with this project; however, more recently DelDOT has received phone calls from these individuals who are now eager to sell. He explained that DelDOT’s planning process has made it difficult for affected homeowners to market their homes. Mr. Laing assured members that DelDOT cannot offer a homeowner an amount less than the assessed value of their property, can assist a homeowner in finding a new home with a similar value, and can provide assistance with moving expenses in cases of hardship. Mr. Laing stated that the specifics regarding the location and design of the preferred route will be finalized and presented to the public in April 2012. He advised members of the tentative schedule DelDOT has established moving forward, as follows: 1) July 2012 - semi-final right-of-way acquisitions to be completed by November 2012 (if there are no objections and eminent domain condemnation procedures are not necessary); and 2) Summer of 2014 - begin construction. South Governors Avenue Improvements Mr. Laing stated that the improvements to the South Governors Avenue roadway are substantially complete. He indicated that DelDOT has had a recent issue regarding a signal at the intersection of South Governors Avenue and South Street, noting that the original plan included such a signal. Since federal funds were utilized for the project, when DelDOT was ready to have the signals turned on, the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) indicated that the intersection did not meet the warrants for a signal and a new study was required. DelDOT completed the new study in late fall/early winter of 2011 and it was determined that the intersection meets warrants at only certain times of day. He advised members that there are safety concerns, noting that there is an employee parking area located across the street. Most recently, Mr. Laing stated that DelDOT’s Director of Traffic Operations sent a letter to the FHA indicating that DelDOT planned to post signs indicating that the signals would become operational on January 27, 2012 and was awaiting a response. Water Street Railroad Crossover Mr. Laing stated that the Water Street Railroad Crossover is not a project that will come to fruition anytime in the near future due to the involvement of the railroad. Wyoming Mill Road Project Mr. Laing advised members that only the paving of the roadway was required for the completion of the Wyoming Mill Road Project and it is hoped that this will begin in early spring when the asphalt plants reopen. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, suggested that, in the future, a briefing on the Route 8/Hazlettville Road Connector (formerly identified as North/South Road between Route 8 and Hazlettville Road on the West Side of the Capital School District Property and the Village of Cannon Mills) be provided to the Committee.

SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2012 PAGE 5 Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects - Rich Vetter Due to the absence of Mr. Richard Vetter, Executive Director of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization, there was no briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) projects. Mrs. Russell moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Davis and unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:01 P.M. Respectfully submitted, James L.

Upon arriving, the officers discovered that there were actually two separate fights involving thirty (30) people. Officers were able to control one of the groups but the other group continued to fight. As the officers attempted to make arrests, a large crowd began to intervene and officers had to make an “officer in distress” radio transmission. No less than six other neighboring police agencies responded to assist the Dover Officers. The crowd was able to then be controlled. • On December 4, 2011, at 0610 hours, the Dover Police Department received a call of multiple shots fired in the one hundred block of Spruance Road. Upon arrival, officers determined that 17 rounds were fired striking two separate residences and a vehicle parked in front of one of the residences. The suspect then fled in an unknown direction. There were three adults inside one of the homes and two adults in the other. Witnesses described the shots as being one quick burst for all 17 rounds, and likened it to a fully automatic-type weapon. No one was injured during this incident. • On December 7, 2011, at 2300 hours, Dover Officers responded to the nine-hundred block of Wilson Drive for a report of a home invasion in progress. The subject kicked in the front door of the victim’s residence, and while brandishing a handgun, threatened to shoot multiple victims inside the home. He then fled the scene prior to officer’s arrival. The subject was apprehended at his residence a short time later. • On Tuesday, December 6, 2011, at 2245 hours, a victim’s 2007 Saturn ION, which is equipped with OnStar, was stolen from the area of North New Street. After contacting the OnStar service, they were able to provide Dover Officers with the vehicle’s location utilizing GPS. The vehicle was traveling in the area of US 13 and South State Street when it was spotted by officers. The operator of the vehicle then fled from the officers when they attempted a vehicle stop and a pursuit began. The vehicle fled into the area of Capitol Green and the operator jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot. After a brief foot chase, the subject was taken into custody.

Report to Mayor and Council December 2011 Page 4 • On December 8, 2011, at 2050 hours, Dover Officers responded to the three hundred block of Tribbit Street in Cannon Mills for a report of shots fired. The investigation revealed that unknown suspects fired three rounds into a residence which was occupied. The rounds caused damage to the home but none of the three people present were injured during the incident. • On December 8, 2011, at 1710 hours, a 56-year old victim was confronted by an 18 year old subject of Dover, who was angry over the victim allegedly striking the subjects’ mother several days prior. The subject then assaulted the victim, who was admitted to Bay Health with broken ribs, contusions and a lacerated liver. The subject turned himself in to Dover Police Officers. • The Criminal Investigations Unit is investigating an armed robbery that occurred on Friday, December 9, 2011 at 1440 hours. The robbery occurred in the area of K Building at Country Club Apartments. The victim was walking on the side of the building and was approached by a male subject wearing a grey, hooded sweatshirt and grey sweat pants. The subject displayed a handgun and demanded money. The suspect removed money from the victim’s purse and fled on foot. • On December 22, 2011 at 0010 hours, Dover Officers received a report of a robbery in the parking lot of White Oak Condos. The 24year old victim stated that he was robbed at gunpoint, of his wallet and money. A description of the suspect vehicle was conveyed and officers from the Patrol Unit located it traveling southbound on Bay Road. A traffic stop was conducted and officers apprehended the male subject of Dover. During a search of the vehicle, officers recovered the firearm, 17.8 grams of marijuana and the victim’s wallet and money. • On December 16, 2011, at 2130 hours, a 28 year old male resident of Lincoln, Delaware, was parked in front of a package store on South DuPont Parkway in Dover. For unknown reasons, two unknown male subjects approached the victims’ vehicle from the rear. One of the suspects was armed with a handgun and began firing at the victim who was seated in the vehicle, striking the vehicle several times. Both suspects then fled in the area on foot in an unknown direction. The victim was not injured as a result of the incident. • On December 27, 2011, at 0350 hours, two subjects wearing black, hooded, sweatshirts and ski masks, forced entry into a residence located in the four hundred block of Sussex Avenue in Dover. At the time of the incident, a 23 year old male and a 21 year old female, were occupying the residence and asleep in the upstairs master bedroom. The male occupant of the residence was awakened by the subjects when they forced entry into the residence, at which time; he retrieved a firearm near his bedside. Once inside the residence, the two subjects ran directly to the upstairs master bedroom. The two subjects entered the master bedroom and one of the subjects was armed with a handgun. The male occupant of the residence then fired several shots at the two subjects, at which time; they exited the bedroom and fled the residence on foot. The Criminal Investigations Unit has obtained warrants for one of the two subjects involved in the armed home invasion. He had been shot and transported to Bay Health and was later flown to Jefferson Hospital. • On December 19, 2011, at 1330 hours, Dover Officers arrested a 16 year old subject of N. Governors Avenue, for the murder of a 19 year old victim also of Dover. The subject was apprehended at this residence without incident. Dover Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Unit used the downtown security cameras, which captured the shooting, to help assist with their investigation. It was determined that the victim was shot eight times by the subject while on Reed Street with a small caliber firearm, who then fled the scene. The subject was committed to Stevenson House without bond for the charge of Murder in the First Degree. He was also charged with Possession of a Firearm By a Person Prohibited and Possession of a Firearm During Commission of a Felony. Additionally, during a canvass of the neighborhood for evidence, officers located an AK47 and a stun gun; both of which were unrelated to this shooting, in a rear yard of a residence in the unit block of South New Street.

I. Introduction The City of Dover Planning and Community Development Department continued to face the challenges of the economic recession during 2011 and focused efforts on maintaining quality of life and positioning the City for economic recovery. With the low volume of applications under review, the Planning Office focused efforts on updating the procedures for planning applications (Dover Code, Appendix B – Zoning, Article 10 – Planning Commission). This comprehensive review of application procedures and processes improved the ability of the Planning Office to be New Parking Garage - responsive to concerns of the business community and fixed a number of Bayhealth problems identified over the years. The Code Enforcement Division has continued to focus on addressing a lot of the problems related to deferred maintenance on properties, foreclosures, and abandoned properties, all symptoms of the current economic times. The Community Development Office worked with other local and State agencies to develop a statewide Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. While construction has continued at a slow pace, the significant institutional projects continued to move forward, providing benefit to the local economy. The Capital School District was busy with various development projects during 2011. Site and building planning has continued on the new Dover High School, to be located on Route 8 on the west side of Dover. By the year’s close, work was well underway on site infrastructure and work on the building foundation was beginning. The Capital School District also completed the first phase of a plan to improve circulation at William Henry Middle School and Booker T. Washington Elementary School. Finally, the District made significant progress on the construction of the new Capital School District Administrative Complex in Enterprise Business Park. The State of Delaware opened the new Kent County Courthouse in June 2011 and then began the renovations on the old section of the Courthouse located on The New Kent County Courthouse Green. Bayhealth made significant progress on the expansion plans for Kent General Hospital with a majority of the project complete at year’s end and the transition to public opening of the new facilities will occur in early 2012. The Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan developed by the Dover/Kent County MPO and the Downtown Dover Partnership in 2010 began to take shape in 2011 with several significant projects. The Planning Commission approved a Site Development Master Plan for the former Acme site located just north of Loockerman Street on South Governors Avenue. The Downtown Dover Partnership prepared plans for the renovation of 22-24 West Loockerman Street, a key property purchased through a sheriff sale by the DDP. Most significantly, the General Assembly allocated $3 million for improvements to North Street, a consolidated parking lot between North Street and The Green, and purchase and development of the former Collegian site into a community plaza and parking area. Plans were well underway for these improvements at the close of the year with the Planning Commission having approved the associated Site Development Master Plan for the improvements in December 2011.The Planning Office has continued to be an active participant in plans for downtown redevelopment. In August, the Code Enforcement, Building Inspections, and Fire Marshal Staff assisted in preparation for and damage assessment following Hurricane Irene. Prior to the storm, staff removed catch basin inserts from catch basins in the Village of Cannon Mill and Clearview Meadows to ensure that these did 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 3

not cause obstructions that would lead to flooding. Following the storm, staff participated in damage assessment that was used to document damage to property that was reported to FEMA. In 2011, the Dover Sun Park was completed and the City continued to work with Calpine Corporation on their plans for development of a dual cycle gas power plant at the Garrison Oak Technical Park. While no formal application had been filed by year’s end, the Planning Office participated in a number of meetings to help Calpine through their due diligence. As the challenges of the economy have fed the demand for the City’s Dover Sun Park Community Development program, federal funding cuts indicate that allocations will continue to decline. This will create a challenge with meeting the demand. As 2011 closed and 2012 began, the Planning and Community Development Department’s focus continues to be set on positioning the City for economic growth and working to maintain the high quality of life we have come to expect in Dover. Keeping this focus in a time of scarce resources will be a high priority for 2012. II. Division Reports Personnel The continued dedication and professionalism of the staff of the Department of Planning and Community Development is a critical element in providing services to the community. These qualities allow staff to successfully interact with the residents of our City and support continued community improvement. There was only one staffing change within the Department during 2011. The major change is as follows: On September 21, 2011 Michael Albert, Planner II, resigned as he relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina for his wife’s post-doctorate employment. Training/Workshops On January 14, 2012 Janelle Cornwell attended Census Training held at the Kent County Administration Building. On January 19, 2012 Dawn Melson-Williams and 3 Planning Commission members attended an APA Audio Web Conference “Retrofitting Corridors” that was held on January 19th at the Kent County Administration Building. The event was co-sponsored by the Delaware Chapter of APA and the Dover/Kent County MPO. The Planning Office participated in a Staff Retreat held at the Community Services Building on January 31, 2011. Topics covered education and training opportunities, general office operations, and projects and priorities for the coming year. 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 4

ADP Training for the new Payroll system was held in the I/T Room for Supervisors and Payroll Administrators during the month of April. On April 14, 2011 Janelle Cornwell attended an “American Fact Finding 2” webinar learning about Census data. On May 2, 2011 Dawn Melson-Williams (Principal Planner); Ann Marie Townshend (Director, Planning and Community Development); and Janelle Cornwell (Planner II) attended the DE APA Strategic Planning Workshop held at the Eden Hill Medical Center. On May 3, 2011 the Planning Office held a meeting at the Police Department Assembly Room with the development community (engineers, design professionals, Realtors, lawyers, developers, etc.) regarding proposed changes to Article 10 of the Zoning Ordinance. During the May 2011 NASCAR Race, staff activities involved manning the Command Post, data gathering with GIS technology, intake of business licenses, license and code compliance checks, and incident response by Fire Marshals in addition to the regular daily operations of the Department of Planning.

The Eden Hill Farm TND consists of five (5) large tracts: a preservation area (historic house area), an office district area, a commercial district area, a residential area, and an open space area. Throughout 2011, City staff dealt continuously with the project developers Duplexes on Ruth Way with compliance issues including the timely payment of taxes, infrastructure issues, planting of street trees, and payment and installation of street lighting for the residential project. The provisions of the “Clean Hands Ordinance” (Dover Code, Chapter 1 Section 1- 13) were evoked in April 2011 and again in October 2011 as the property owner, Hill Farm Associates, LLC is listed on the City’s delinquent tax lists. The following listing provides an update for each district of the Eden Hill Farm TND. Residential District The Residential District Subdivision Plan (Record Plan and Final Construction Document Plans) was originally recorded and approved in 2007 thus establishing the street layout and lots for 665 dwelling units. However, revisions to the original lot layout were approved in 2010 for Phase 1 and part of Phase 2. 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 13

Planning Staff comments were issued on January 6th for the Administrative Plan (MI-10-20) pertaining to lot revisions in a portion of Phase 2 of the Residential District. The proposed revisions focused on conversion of townhouse lots to a width of 20 feet and the conversion of some single family dwelling lots to duplex lots (as allowed by the Planning Commission). The review identified plan compliance issues with the Pattern Book standards as interpreted by Planning Staff. Following a meeting with the applicant in late January to discuss the matter, the applicant requested Planning Commission review the Pattern Book guidelines after disagreeing with Planning Staff’s interpretation on side yard setbacks. At their February 2011 meeting, the Planning Commission took action to interpret the Pattern Book guidelines pertaining to Townhouse Setbacks in Phase 2 of the Residential District. (MI-10-20) Planning Staff continues to work with the residential builder, Ryan Homes, on the design of various unit types to ensure architectural compliance with the Pattern Book.The project consisted of two types of townhouse units (Livingston and Mediterranean) and a duplex unit (Glyndon) which are approved for use with specific conditions. In June 2011, the design style of Townhouse units was revised by Ryan Homes to three story units with integral rear entry garages that are part of the new Composer Series (Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss) design Townhouse Block under styles. Construction on S. Greenberry The issuance of Building Permits continued in 2011 for Lane units in the Phase 1 area along the streets of South Greenberry Lane, Ruth Way, and Ridgely Boulevard. Building Permits were issued in February, June, September (permit revisions) and December for a total of fourteen (14) units. The Certificates of Occupancy for the residential units were issued as follows: four Townhouse units in March (previous outstanding Temporary COs); seven Townhouse units in April; two Duplex units in April; two Duplex units in May; three Townhouse units in November; and three Townhouse units in December. In summary for 2011, fourteen (14) Building Permits were issued for dwelling units and seventeen (17) Townhouses on 500 units received Certificates of Occupancy. At the end of 2011, there are Block of Ridgely St. six units under active construction. For the period 2007-2011 for the overall Residential District in Eden Hill Farm TND, a total of 65 Building Permits had been issued with a total of 59 units receiving Final Certificates of Occupancy. The development of Ann Moore Park at the intersection of Ann Moore Street and Ruth Way was completed January 2011. The Park consists of a lawn area, landscaping, benches, bike racks and a connecting sidewalk system. This is part of the Active Recreation Areas for the residential subdivision. Professional Office, Medical & Financial District For the Professional Office District (Record Plan and the Final Construction Plan Set) received Final Plan approval in 2007 and the first buildings (Buildings 1 and 2) were completed in late 2008. No additional building construction or plan review occurred in 2011. 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 14

Neighborhood Commercial District The Planning Commission originally approved the Neighborhood Commercial District Implementation Plan on December 17, 2007, approved a Revised Implementation Plan in March 2009, and then approved Revision #2 Implementation Plan in October 2010. During 2011, the applicant made no submissions and thus the Commercial District remains in the process of finalizing the Revised Implementation Plan (Revision #2) from October 2010 and Revised Pattern Book in order to achieve Final Plan approval of the revised construction plans. Other Areas of the TND The Eden Hill Farmhouse is now the location of offices for the Judiciary. Minor improvements to building systems and building accessibility were made. Construction preparation activities began for the construction of the North Street Circle. This road system element at the previous intersection of the farmhouse driveway and North Street will include a traffic circle with connections from North Street into the Commercial District area, the Professional, Medical & Financial District, and the Eden Hill farmhouse property. New Dover High School Project Following conditional approval of the Site Development Master Plan by the Planning Commission in December 2010, work on the new Dover High School project (C-10-05 and S-11-18) continued into 2011. Planning Staff is involved in the various planning discussions and review activities related to the new Dover High School project to be constructed on the south side of Forrest Avenue (Route 8). Meetings throughout the 2011included such topics as the anticipated project schedule with associated plan submissions; coordination meetings with school district and adjacent developer; road and entrance designs for the shared road network; building architectural review the Building Code Officials and the Fire Marshal; and the landscape plan design. The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee of City Council considered a Land Subdivision Regulations Waiver (Street Right-of-way width) for the project at their February 23, 2010 meeting; however, the waiver request has since been withdrawn by the applicant. The Administrative Site Plan for Phase 1A (Bid Pack A) of the project was filed in March for review with the Planning Office and other agencies. Phase 1A consists of initial water and sewer utility work including a pump station and also the first phase of site landscaping. The Planning Office issued review comments on the Administrative Site Plan for Phase 1A (Bid Pack A) in April and June with the plan receiving Final Plan approval in July 2011. Also received in June was a copy of plan set for Bid Pack B as approved by DNREC for the initial stormwater management facilities and initial building pad grading. Preliminary Construction activities related to utilities at the new Dover High School site began in June and continued through the summer on site preparations and stormwater management facilities. As part of Bid Pack A, approval was granted in October 2011 to a Fence Permit to begin its installation along with a portion of the Phase 1 Landscaping. In 2011, the Planning Staff also coordinated monthly progress meetings with City Staff (Planning, Public Works, and Public Utilities), the district, their design professionals and construction manager, and other appropriate review agencies. These monthly meetings began in June (and continued monthly through December) and have proved to be very beneficial in providing an update on project status and 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 15

schedule along with identifying a series of questions/requirements associated with project activities to be addressed. Items such as transportation infrastructure planning, utility coordination, and building design and construction progress are addressed at these meetings. On July 21st, the Planning Office received the plan set of Bid Pack C for Check Print review of the site development plan as associated with Application C-10-05. This plan set consists of the overall site plan for the property including the high school building, parking, stadium and sports fields, and landscaping. The Planning Office issued review comments on October 17th for Site Plan set. A resubmission in early December of Bid Pack C was under review at year’s end. The Building Permit (Foundation-only) for the high school building was issued November 18, 2011 and construction activity and inspections began on the foundation work. As of mid-December City Staff, DelDOT, and DNREC are working with the project management team to address various erosion and sediment control issues at the construction site and adjacent roadways. Submission of the Building Permit for the High School Building is anticipated in Winter 2012. Dover Public Library Planning Staff is involved in the Dover Public Library project (S-10-06). The Final Record Plan (Parcel Consolidation Plan) and Final Site Plan approvals were issued by the Planning Office in March 2011. Staff also participated in the City’s Pre-Construction meeting prior to the start of the project to provide Steel Work in August 2011 information on construction activities and Masonry Work in for Library compliance with licensing and permitting. The November for Library Planning Office completed the Planning & Zoning compliance review of the Building Permit for the Library building (permit issued April 2011). Staff will continue to participate as necessary in the construction process. Members of the Planning Staff also attended the groundbreaking ceremony in April 2011 for the new Dover Public Library. At the end of construction Planning Staff will participate in the Certificate of Occupancy Inspection for the building to confirm compliance with the approved Site Plan. Other Major Project Activities Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS-4) Permit Since 2003, the City of Dover has been subject to a permit through the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for improving the quality of water that enters rivers, streams and Silver Lake through the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS-4). Until 2010, this program was administered by the Public Works (and subsequently Public Services), but due to inadequate staffing compliance with the permit requirements fell behind. In 2010, administration of the permit was transferred to the Planning Office. As 2011 began, the Planning Office submitted a comprehensive report of permit activities from 2003 through 2010, along with a report of completion of requirements specified in a Notice of Violation issued in 2010. 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 16

In June 2011, DNREC issued a subsequent Notice of Violation which specified a number of activities that needed to be completed by December 31, 2011, and required that the City submit a Stormwater Management Plan for a three-year period until a new permit could be completed. The Planner who was assigned to the MS-4 permit left the City of Dover in September 2011. Fortunately, the Wesley College’s Environmental Studies program director had previously approached the Planning Office to explore opportunities for collaboration. Under this new partnership, a Wesley College student intern assisted with much of the work associated with completing the Stormwater Management Plan and tasks associated with the Notice of Violation. This partnership is expected to continue as we complete the next phases of the permit requirements. Article 10 Update In 2011 the Planning Staff undertook the challenge of completely rewriting Article 10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Article 10 of the Zoning Ordinance contains the process for Conditional Use, Site Plan, Rezoning, and Historic District applications. Updates to Article 10 included making the process easier to understand for the public. This Planning Office project involved extensive staff research and review of drafts. During the update process staff met with a number of stakeholders in the community for their comment and input including an outreach workshop with the engineers, Relators, and the development community on May 3rd and a meeting with representatives of the Kent County Association of Realtors and the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce on May 25th. The text amendments moved through the formal review process in the Summer of 2011 with the Planning Commission then City Council. The changes to Article 10 clarified the procedure for Conditional Use applications versus Conditional Use Site Plan applications. It also clarified the review process for projecting involving change of use, small construction, and projects adjacent to residential uses. The update also included significant changes to the public notice requirements. Public notice requirements for applications requiring a Public Hearing now require notice to be done fifteen (15) days prior to an application being heard before the Planning Commission and Historic District Commission. The public notice requirements also includes a physical posting of the property associated with an application to the Planning Commission or Historic District Commission in addition to the mailed notice to adjacent property owners within 200 feet of the subject property and the legal advertisement. Another significant change was the increase in the length of time applications are valid. Applications are now approved for a two year period rather than one year and may be granted one additional one year extension before the application expires. The revisions were adopted by City Council at their August 8, 2011 meeting. In addition a Policy on Physical Posting of Properties was developed and all Public Notice Instructions were updated. IV. 2010 COMMITTEE REPORTS Board of Adjustment The Board of Adjustment heard thirteen (13) applications for variances during 2011. The number of applications was down slightly from the number of applications from 2010. The types of variances requested of the Board of Adjustment were varied with no particular request type showing an identifiable majority over others. Of the thirteen (13) variance requests from 2011, twelve (12) were approved and one request was denied. No interpretations of the Zoning Ordinance were heard during 2011. 2011 Annual Report Department of Planning and Community Development Page 17

As part of the Goals and Recommendations for Historic Preservation, the Commission is diligently working on a project to evaluate and review of the Design Standards and Guidelines for the City of Dover Historic District Zone. In 2011, the Historic District Commission took some time to review the existing document suggesting clarifications, formatting, different strategies for project review in specific areas of the Historic District, new guidelines for items such as decks, solar panels, etc. As an in-house project, the Planning Staff is continuing the process of compiling the revisions and developing a format for the new document; however, staff time has been limited in 2011 to dedicate to this project. Planning Commission In 2011, the volume of development applications reviewed by the Planning Commission and/or the Planning Staff decreased from the 2010 application volume. The City of Dover Planning Commission and staff reviewed 57 separate development applications including 23 Site Plans, 6 Rezoning requests, 0 Annexations, 7 Conditional Uses, 2 Subdivisions, 2 Unified Sign Plans, and 17 Miscellaneous requests. The overall level of development activity dropped slightly than in 2010. Within 2011, a few projects that previously expired were submitted again for approval including the Dove View apartment complex, Governors Avenue Animal Hospital, and M & L Ventures on Lafferty Lane. Several applications dealt with building additions at the C.F. Schwartz auto dealership, at the DelTech CEET Building, at the Woodbrook Office Development, and at the Dover Behavioral Health facility.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The major part of the McKee Run Unit 3 Boiler Air Heater CIP scope is the replacement of major air heater components including casing internal components and structural members which were identified during a planned unit inspection in October 2010. This proposed contract addresses these components. The refurbishment should extend the useful life of the involved equipment by at least another fifteen (15) years. A Request for Proposal package was advertised according to the City purchasing policy and NAES purchasing policy under Bid #EG1201-1. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on the plant site. Six (6) bids were received. 1 bid was incomplete and did not meet technical requirements and was rejected as non-conforming. There will be other components/ services awarded to complete the project; however, at this time staff is confident this project will be under budget. The Request for Proposal was drafted to include a total price for supervision, labor, and tools to complete the replacement of the center section of the air heater support structure, and replacement of all internal air heater seals including hot end sector plates. The proposals were evaluated using the following criteria: cost, experience (specific to air heater work), references, resources, safety record, exceptions to specifications, and bid submittal content. In the table below is a summary of these evaluation scores which indicates that the highest evaluated contractor was also the low proposal Contractor Evaluation Score Base Price* (out of a possible 5.00) TEI Construction Services 3.69 $206,131 Nooter Construction Company 2.17 $270,218 Integrated Global Services 2.87 $306,625 Nicholson and Hall 1.95 $384,617 PCM Industrial Services 1.14 $1,150,484 *Base Price include bid price plus 150 mnhrs of unidentified extra work at the quoted composite labor rates

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: City Council DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Utilities – Power Plant (NAES) DATE SUBMITTED: 01-27-2012 PREPARED BY: Vincent Scire, Plant Manager SUBJECT: Evaluation of Bids – McKee Run Unit 3 Turbine Repairs and Transfer of Funds Between CIPs REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: City Manager, Controller EXHIBITS: N/A EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ 225,175 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ 348,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): The following Public Utilities-Electric Generation, CIPs: Project EG1212 McKee Run Unit 3 Turbine Inspection CIP page 144, Account 487-8101-591-40.31 Project EG1114 McKee Run Unit 3 Gas Line Modifications CIP page N/A, Account 487-8101-591-40.31 Project EG1213 McKee Run Unit 3 Auxiliary Equipment CIP page 145, Account 487-8101-591-40.31 TIMETABLE: Transfer of funding and Contract to be awarded upon Council approval RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approving the transfer of funding as outlined below and awarding the contract to the Low Bidder NAES Turbine Services for a total contract award of $225,175. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This request for approval is two-fold: 1) Approve the transfer of funds from two Electric Generation CIPs (that are complete and under budget) to a third Electric Generation CIP (EG1212) which is underfunded, and 2) Approve funding for contract work to be done under the third CIP (EG1212) Funding Transfer Background: CIP Project EG1114 This Project has an approved FY2012 budget of $36,207with total project commitments to date of $20,000. The Project is 100% complete with no additional expenditures anticipated. The primary reason for the favorable variance is due to utilizing internal resources rather than external resources for a portion of the installation activities. CIP Project EG1213 This Project has an approved FY2012 budget of $113,000 with total project commitments to date of $47,682. It is 100% complete. The reduced Project cost is due to revised work scope which resulted from recent equipment condition evaluation. CIP Project EG1212 This Project has an approved FY2012 budget of $348,000 with total commitments to date of $61,648. This project will be significantly underfunded based on current project forecasts that include recently obtained actual bid prices for the installation portion of the work scope. Our current forecast to complete the work is $418,713. The increase in Project cost is due to the installation costs greater than originally estimated and expanded repair scope. The Project cannot move forward without an increasing in funding. The risk of reduced equipment reliability will increase if this project is delayed. . We are requesting a transfer of $16,000 from EG1114 and $60,000 from EG1213 to EG1212. The end result will be the following: EG1114: $36,207 - $16,000 = $20,207. EG1213: $113,000 - $60,000 = $53,000. EG1212: $348,000 + 76,000 = $424,000 This transfer will not affect the overall combined anticipated costs for all three projects Contract Approval Background

The major part of the McKee Run Unit 3 Turbine Inspection CIP scope is the supply of all supervision, technical services, labor, tools and equipment necessary to perform an inspection on the Unit 3 turbine components including all steam control valves and overspeed devices. This work is required to maintain the integrity of the equipment and is based on both operating hours and duration between inspections. The proposed contract addresses these components. The refurbishment should extend the useful life of the involved equipment by at least another ten (10) years. A Request for Proposal package was advertised according to the City purchasing policy and NAES purchasing policy under Bid #EG1212-M1. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on the plant site. Eight (8) bids were received, one (1) bid was incomplete and was rejected as non-conforming, and one (1) bid was received 1 day past the due date and was rejected. This award is based on approving the funding transfers as described in the paragraph above addressing Funding Transfer Background. There will be other components/ services awarded to complete the project; however, at this time staff is confident this project will be under budget.
