PRESENTATION - DOVER POLICE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT UPDATE
Mayor Christiansen and Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department gave an update on the
Dover Police Behavioral Health Unit.
Chief Johnson invited Ms. Watara Heath, a Clinical Field Partner from Dover Behavioral Health
System, to speak about her experience during her first weeks of working with a Dover police officer
and providing services in the community.
Ms. Heath explained that she has multiple years of experience in different levels of care including
Page 4
Page 6
Item #2.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2022 PAGE 2
providing services to the population of individuals with mental health issues and/or addiction. She
further explained that most of her work has been in New Castle County, however she is getting to
know Kent County. Ms. Heath stated that she is excited for this program because she sees how
effective this initiative can be in the community with helping the population of addiction, helping
decrease crime that comes with addiction in mental health crisis, and helping people connect to
resources. She explained that this initiative is bridging that gap to get people into treatment.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Heath explained that their part in prevention is getting out and talking
to all people, not just those with addiction or have had a mental health crisis. She further stated that
they are getting out into the community, introducing themselves, letting people know that they are
there as well as also providing services and resources. They are educating and informing folks who
may have family members or may just want to know. Ms. Heath stated that we are living in a society
where stress is very high and can result into a multitude of illnesses. The team is out there trying to
prevent people from having that mental health decompensation or experimenting with drug, whether
it be a child, an adult, or just the community and as a whole.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Heath explained that a person being ambivalent is expected in this
field. She stated that just showing up, being present, and not giving up makes a difference. She
further explained that people from this population often times see people turn their backs on them
just because you made mistakes. She explained that they don't give up, they continue to go out to that
person and frequent the area where that person may be and continue to talk to them and eventually
give out our number. It does not matter how many times we give out the number and continue to give
the number out because there's a short window to reach someone.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Heath stated that when someone is ready they have to be there. She
further explained that there is a follow up component of it, continuing to just be present and make
our presence known and just to engage and talk to people because the goal is not for people to be like
incarcerated or having to kind of go to like crime to survive. Ms. Heath explained that they want to
get people into treatment and help them live their best life and thrive.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Heath explained that they attempt to build trust by showing up, being
compassionate, being genuine, being respectful, and treating them as human being not a number or
subject. She explained doing these things consistently builds trust in the community.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Heath explained that they have been in the field for approximately
three weeks and that there hasn't really been hindrance with the police presence at this point. Ms.
Heath further explained that she does expect that certain neighborhoods or certain communities
where there will be some push back due to police presence.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Heath stated that is why her and her counterpart Russ come in and
use their techniques and tools to gain the community’s trust and build rapport with people. They
realize certain climates in certain neighborhoods with the police presence, and that is why they are
there to push and break the barriers down. She said that so far they have not had any hindrance with
the police presence.

Item #2.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2022 PAGE 3
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Heath explained that they use therapeutic approaches as a technique
in the field. Ms. Heath explained that a tool can be allowing the person feel like they are in charge.
They allow the person to talk and get their issue off their chest and agree with them which allows
them to align their thought process and letting them express empathy.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson explained that there are only so many things you can put
into a presentation that effect modeled behaviors. Police Officers receive a lot of training in relation
to identifying people with all manner of behavioral related problems or things that appear to be
behavioral related problems. Chief Johnson further explained that in the field police officers come
to find out a person is hearing challenged. Chief Johnson stated that is due to going too deep into
training and not something that is not necessarily in an officer’s job description. Chief Johnson stated
that officers have to be competent to a certain point, however they have to know to let the
professionals take over.
Chief Johnson further explained that the officers are only there if they are needed or to a certain
extent they may be taking notes and getting items out of the car. The officer’s role is even more
minimized, however all of those are a case by case basis. Over time the mental health professionals
and police officers are going to start to know what each other wants just by exchanging glances and
they will be communicating in a way nobody will be aware and once that happens they will be
functioning at a high level.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson explained that they have already started talking about a
process of job shadowing. We are doing that in other parts of the organization to get officers to
experience other roles and other assignments. Chief Johnson suggested, at least in the beginning,
rather than us making this a standard rotation, they are going to start with officers that have a better
than average interest, because they need to get the program up, running, and proficient. He further
explained that once they work out most of the kinks over a reasonable amount of time, then he
thinks they are going to be able to start doing what was described.
PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET
A public hearing on the Electric Fund Budget is required for compliance with City of Dover Electric
Revenue Bonds Resolutions prior to adoption of the budget. Notice of the public hearing was
properly advertised for this time and place.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Peddicord stated that they are talking about passing through so you will
not see a change on those rates per class. She further explained that they have adopted or talked
about adopting a PCA debit that is 30% on top of the kilowatt hour consumption. Ms. Peddicord
explained that they are not changing any of the flat fees and they are not changing the original rate.
They are adding the PCA debit, which is a 30% increase.
Council President Sudler declared the public hearing open. There being no one present wishing to
speak during the public hearing, Council President Sudler declared the public hearing closed.
Council President Sudler noted that the First Reading of the Budget Ordinances would take place

Page 7
Page 9
Item #2.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2022 PAGE 5
Chief David Carey, Dover Fire Department, reviewed the background and analysis
regarding the purchase of an apparatus replacement for Ladder Truck 2.
Staff recommended approval of the purchase to replace Ladder 2 for $1,948,312.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Chief Carey stated the demo truck is similar to the
needs of the department. Chief Carey explained the demo truck is in the queue to be
built and can be modified to meet the needs of the department.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Carey stated some modifications to the demo truck
would include the compartment sizes and the cross lays for the hose. Chief Carey
explained by purchasing the demo truck now the Fire Department will get the truck
they need, lock in a price, and payments would not begin until the fiscal year 2024.
Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Chief Carey stated upon ordering the demo he could
remove any unnecessary features that would possibly lower the price.
Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Chief Carey stated the Fire Department typically sells
the old truck to smaller departments that have less call volume. Chief Carey
explained the money made from the sale of the truck is used to purchase new
equipment such as fans and air packs.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Carey stated the Fire Department has spent
approximately $70,000 dollars a year to maintain and keep the truck in service.
Mr. Boggerty moved to recommend approval of the purchase to replace Ladder
2 for the amount of $1,948,312 and for the Fire Department to evaluate all
options afforded to them. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and
unanimously carried.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Boggerty and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Report on Police Substation in Downtown Dover (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover
Police Department)
Chief Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background and analysis of
the costs associated with adding a police substation in Downtown Dover versus
additional staffing.
Staff recommended increasing Police staffing to authorized strength to 111 from 106,
the cost is $511,149.48 annually.
Mr. Taylor and Mr. Boggerty agreed with Chief Johnson's presentation that an
increased police presence is beneficial for downtown in the form of more officers and
Page 8
Page 10
Item #2.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2022 PAGE 6
not a police substation.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mayor Christiansen explained Council authorized five
additional officers last fiscal year specifically to be in the community policing unit.
Mayor Christiansen stated the mobile unit was on display at the law enforcement
night out and other places in the community and is a holistic vehicle that is going to
include the police department, behavioral health, Capital School District, and other
entities in the community. Mayor Christiansen stated the Police Department is
working in earnest with Council's support. Mayor Christiansen explained police
substations are outdated but additional police presence is the answer. He further
explained the more eyes you have on the street, not only police, but civilians and
people taking interest in what is going on in their community is the answer to the
situations the City of Dover has come up against.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated he was also concerned with the
ongoing confusion about the mission of the mobile mini station. Chief Johnson stated
it is primarily assigned to, and the responsibility of, the community policing unit.
Chief Johnson explained it is designed to be a community engagement vehicle, and
it is not in most instances designed to be a crime-fighting tool. Chief Johnson further
explained when the public sees the vehicle coming, the goal is for them to want to
be attracted to it because of the services and individuals connected with that vehicle
to connect them to needed resources and establish neighborhood relationships with
policing them.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated the additional officers would be
assigned to the downtown area, Loockerman Street Corridor, and adjacent
neighborhoods. Chief Johnson explained for consistency, the overlay zone, of the
Downtown Development District is the most logical way to assess how well it is
functioning. Chief Johnson further explained proactive police work would be
constitutionally conscious, still full of options for alternative solutions, but also in the
vein of trying to address the street-level criminal behavior and quality of life
problems plaguing both homeowners and merchants along the Loockerman Street
Corridor. Chief Johnson stated the unit would consist of 5 officers assigned to the
area to address anything to degrade the downtown area with proactive police
behavior. Chief Johnson explained if the situation called for it, the new unit may
partner with community policing for a combined approach, if necessary.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated the Police Department is prioritizing
its projects, for example, they have reassigned the motorcycle unit to downtown.
Chief Johnson explained by doing this there are fewer officers patrolling for traffic
violations.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated if five officers were approved today
the Department is in a hiring cycle to go through the summer for the fall academy.
Page 9
Page 11
Item #2.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2022 PAGE 7
Chief Johnson explained the recruits would be sworn officers by January 2023 and
would complete field training and be independent by March or April 2023.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated as of now police officers can only
commit someone if they are a danger to themselves or others. Chief Johnson
explained if the behavioral health unit were to respond the clinician could have a side
dialogue with the citizen and they could accept a treatment plan or voluntary
commitment.
Mr. Boggerty suggested moving forward the vehicle should be called the community
policing unit and not a mini mobile police substation.
Mayor Christiansen stated to hire five new officers would cost $1.75 per hundred
dollars of assessment to the entire community across the board. Mayor Christiansen
suggested the new unit will be patrolling the downtown development district and
Council should consider reinstating the Business Improvement District Assessment
Tax.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated Dover Police Department has signed
a Memorandum of Understanding with Delaware State University to allow closer
cooperation. Chief Johnson also stated conversations are also being had with Capital
Police Department. Chief Johnson explained extra duty commitments such as Firefly
both entities helped.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Chief Johnson stated he has been reviewing legislation
and lobbied to comment on several different pieces in recent weeks. Chief Johnson
explained one piece is the victims' services funding it is being cut at a federal level.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Chief Johnson stated he envisions the new unit would
be data-driven and focused on the Loockerman Street Corridor. Chief Johnson
explained during evening and night the model may look different and branch to
neighborhoods to improve quality of life and crime reduction.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Johnson stated he is currently looking to hire eight
new recruits to fill vacancies.
Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Hugg stated the budget deficit is roughly 7.5 million
dollars. Mr. Hugg contributed the deficit to the general fund budget relying on a
10-million-dollar contribution from the electric fund to support operations. Mr. Hugg
explained with the rising costs of energy and whole power costs there will only be
a 5-million-dollar transfer from the electric fund in the Fiscal Year 23 budget. Mr.
Hugg stated he would support Mayor Christiansen's suggestion of alternative funding
sources for the 5 police officers.
Page 10

Item #2.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2022 PAGE 8
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated at the budget hearing meetings next
week the City Managers' Office will propose adjustments to the purchase power cost
item. Mr. Hugg explained there will be adjustments to the basic kilowatt charge and
will be planning to do a new rate study or interim rate study for next year. Mr. Hugg
further explained the wholesale energy cost has risen from 56 million dollars to 90-95
million dollars.
Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Chief Johnson stated a decision did not need to be made
right now on the additional officers. Chief Johnson also stated interviews and offers
of employment would last through July.
Mr. Sudler stated he agreed with Mayor Christiansen and Mrs. Arndt that Council
should consider alternate funding for the additional officers.
Mr. Neil moved to defer increasing Police staffing to authorized strength to 111
from 106, cost is $511,149.48 annually to the budget hearings scheduled for May
31, 2022 and June 1, 2022. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and
unanimously carried.
By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation,

Mr. Anderson stated that it is regrettable that there is a necessity for a rate increase. He further
stated that they are in great sympathy to all those, including themselves who will be affected by
this increase. He explained that it is very unfortunate that we are stuck in this situation which
Councilman Neil pointed out our energy costs increasing by over 80%, however we are cutting

they can to keep it as low as possible.

presiding.
Adoption of Agenda
Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried.
Review of Active Recreation Area Plan - Dover Apartments on Leipsic Road (Planning Reference #S-
22-09) (Dawn Melson- Williams, Interim City Planner)
Mrs. Dawn- Melson Williams, Interim City Planner, and K. James Taylor, Jr., Engineer, Verdantas,
reviewed the background and analysis regarding the review of the Active Recreation Plan.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor stated the property was located on Leipsic Road across from the
Home Depot.
Mr. Neil request attention be paid the effect on the traffic the apartment complex will have on the
rural road of Leipsic, Persimmon Tree Lane, Route 9, and particularly the Traffic chaos during
NASCAR and Firefly, when access is blocked off from those roads to Route 13.
Mr. Neil explained as someone who lives through that traffic nightmare, that in planning for these
216 apartments they must consider the roads and traffic pattern that will be strained under normal
conditions and become a critical nightmare for area residents, including the apartment tenants, and
event attendees during these two major Dover events each year.
Mr. Neil requested the Planning Department to bring it to the attention of the Planning Commission
and wants to see the results when it comes before for the Council for final approval.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor stated they are currently going through the Traffic Impact Study
(TIS) process with DelDOT. Mr. Taylor stated the only intersection that was identified for them to
study was the intersection of 13 and Leipsic Road, because most of the traffic, is not going to go
right down Leipsic Road towards Persimmon Tree Lane. Most traffic will be going left towards
Route 13.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Taylor explained the recreation facilities are specifically for the residents
of the apartments. Therefore, in design and planning the recreation amenities are located to the back
of the property. Mr. Taylor further explained that the shared use path going around the outside property
Page 19
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 14, 2022 PAGE 2
is to encourage spectators and participants of NASCAR and Firefly to walk around the property and
not through.
Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that a car wash station is the first time it has
been offered as an amenity in new construction. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated she would be looking
at the code to see if the car wash station could be counted as a recreational amenity. Mrs. Melson-
Williams also mentioned, that if the car wash station does not count as a recreational amenity it will
not affect the square footage by much because it is the size of a large parking space.
Responding to Mr. Anderson Mr. Joe Dopsovic, Metropolitan Companies, explained the dog park will
include waste stations, four benches, grass, and a dog wash station that is connected to the clubhouse.
Mr. Dopsovic stated the properties will be maintained by the owners.
Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Dopsovic explained that the dog park will be for residents only.
Mr. Hare moved to recommend acceptance of Review of Active Recreation Area Plan - Dover
Apartments on Leipsic Road (Planning Reference #S-22-09), as recommended by staff. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.

entitled Workforce Development and Registered Apprenticeship.
Responding to Sudler, Mr. McEntire stated the number one complaint he gets from employers is they

Request for Direction to Ain in Retention of Emergency Dispatchers (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover
Police Department, and Chief David Carey, Dover Fire Department)
Chief Johnson stated the market continues to shift, and the competition for dispatchers has accelerated
exponentially in recent weeks. Chief Johnson explained it is an issue of resources and salaries.
Chief Johnson further explained he became aware that several of the members of his current
Emergency Communications Center had begun to immediately explore other options that were being
advertised in real-time.
Chief Johnson stated the Police Department is the beginning of Dover's success, with their ability to
provide safety and security. He is submitting to council that the glue that holds the Police Department
together, all divisions, all sections, all units, and the first point of contact with stakeholder groups
everywhere within the span of the greater Dover area is the 911 center. Chief Johnson explained they
take the calls, they recognize situations, they communicate, and they make the rest of the organization
go.
Page 23
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 14, 2022 PAGE 6
Chief Johnson stated he got down a path for a significant distance, but it had to stop on maybe crafting
a solution because it became clear that there were significant legal and labor issues that had to be
addressed.
He stated the Police Department is not in an immediate crisis if Council does not do this. Chief Johnson
requested through this informational session, that they start to come up with the framework of a plan
that will inspire not only the confidence of a group of very dedicated employees that are in an
immediate situation who have options but also at the same time, perhaps send that message farther and
wider.
Chief Johnson stated the last three individuals that attempted to orient and onboard the 911
communication center, all came from non-public safety backgrounds, could not make the transition,
and all resigned within 8 to 10 weeks. Chief Johnson explained if the city is going to continue to build
the communication center into a center that can handle the growing volume in the City of Dover as
currently constructed and import the important matter of monitoring cameras to get into the business
of proactively directing police resources, to areas before trouble has a chance to turn into felonies and
injuries.
Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson explained there is a national shortage of dispatchers.
Chief Johnson stated in the direct comparators in Delaware, that the City of Dover is $10,000 to
$15,000 annually behind the curve on current salaries. Chief Johnson further explained the City of
Newark is paying their dispatchers $53,000 a year with no healthcare contribution, and pension.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Carey stated over the past two years, the fire department has lost
eight dispatchers, it's a revolving door. The main complaints are lack of compensation and lack of a
pension. Chief Carey further explained the fire department just lost a very good dispatcher to Kent
Center for $2 an hour more than what our starting rate is at Dover. Chief Carey explained the Fire
Department is in a crisis they have a staff of three out of five. Chief Carey further explained fire
dispatchers are currently working 24/48s, which means they're working 24 hours on, 48 hours off.
Chief Carey stated they are working 66 hours a week, and do not get vacation unless they can find
coverage for it. Chief Carey expressed that the fire dispatchers are dedicated employees that are there
for the mission, and they need help financially and compensation throughout some sort of a retirement
program better than what they have.
Chief Carey stated this is not the first time trying to get the fire dispatcher’s pay increased. He
explained when contract negotiations were open, he asked for a grade increase through the union and
that did not happen. Chief Carey further explained he recently had a conversation with City Manager,
Dave Hugg about fire dispatchers’ compensation, as well as part-time dispatchers, that are making $14
an hour that could go to another fire department and sleep all day, not take one run, and make $16 or
$18 an hour. Chief Carey stated the fire dispatchers have not received that increase either, and it makes
it very difficult to recruit dispatchers when there's a lack of compensation on the full-time and part-
time side for us.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Carey stated the last time the police department t dispatchers were
upgraded to a grade 18, which was about 15 years ago, the fire dispatchers weren't included. So, it's
been several years since a pay increase was received.
Page 24
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 14, 2022 PAGE 7
Mr. Neil stated he is committed to both departments being able to receive a pay increase and hopes it
would be parity. Mr. Neil stated he did not believe it is any question it has to be paid, because having
an inexperienced dispatcher in either department could turn out to be a disaster for the city.
Chief Johnson stated the onboarding process is the time a position is declared open, and they make
their first advertisement, hiring, onboarding, training, and to the point where somebody working in the
police department dispatch center, that is a minimum of an 18-month journey. Chief Johnson noted it
is a long lead-in window to get somebody that'll stick and can be effective.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Johnson stated his understanding of unions is that the way the rules are
set up, that the entire bargaining unit would have to ratify any decision that was made because the
salary scale is incorporated by reference into the contract. Chief Johnson explained that even the
leadership of the union, could negotiate something in good faith, but they would have to go back to
the entire Dover Organization of Employees (DOE) Union for a vote on whether they were going to
approve whatever package that the city would come up with.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated the city cannot go in and make a unilateral decision to affect
one class of employees that are covered by the union. Mr. Hugg stated the city does have a significant
financial issue in terms of timing and amounts, that must be considered as a part of the process.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that the closing balance of a fiscal year becomes the
opening balance of the next fiscal year. That balance is subject to things like the 8% rule that must be
set aside for reserves, and council was reluctant to make a change there. In the last set of discussions
with the budget for next year, I would also remind council that you added additional positions that
were not budgeted in the city manager’s proposal. Mr. Hugg explained a budget is constantly in flux,
and as it gets to the end of a budget year, final bills, balances, and sometimes there are additional
revenues. Mr. Hugg stated it is easier to deal with the financial impact if it is spread out over two
periods, four periods, or monthly.
Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Chief Carey stated it takes six to eight weeks to train a fire dispatcher.
Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Chief Carey stated merging both departments would be detrimental to
the Fire Department. Chief Carey explained the fire dispatchers handle more than just dispatching,
they are the heartbeat of the fire department. Chief Carey further explained fire dispatchers have taken
over a lot of management positions in the fire department over the past two years. They maintain
personnel records for 213 members, as far as their training is concerned. They keep track of the
inventory of 180 sets of gear and make sure they're National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)
compliant, as well as the hose and aerial testing that are done on an annual basis.
Responding to Mr. Taylor, Chief Johnson stated they could use the money allocated for the additional
police officers for dispatchers. Chief Johnson stated he may not want to wait an entire year to fill the
positions of the two new officers.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Carey stated fire dispatchers do their Emergency Fire Dispatch
Training online and it costs $395 a person. Chief Carey stated that it would cost $900 in training to
fill the vacant positions.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Matt Carey, the 911 supervisor for Dover Police Department stated it costs
$365 to achieve an emergency police dispatch certification, which new hires are required to do within
Page 25
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 14, 2022 PAGE 8
the first six months of their employment. The certification is recognized by the International Academy
of Dispatch. The City of Dover Call Center is a 911 PSAP, which is a public safety answering point
for the city of Dover. They receive all 911 calls, whether it be through the internet, landline, or cellular
phone text messaging, that all come to the Dover Police Department. Mr. Carey stated to be fully
staffed at 14 is great and hopefully have more in the future. However, if he loses his best 11, that is s
cost he does not want to take.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Matthew Brown of the DOE Union gave the background of what has been
going on from a Union standpoint. Mr. Brown stated Chief Johnson reached out to him last Thursday
with some urgency. Mr. Brown explained that Chief Johnson sold him on the urgency and within a
few hours, they had tried to figure out how to handle it. Mr. Brown stated he then reached out to DOE
counsel to find out the next steps. Under the advice of counsel, they had to physically open the contract,
they can limit it to certain things to open it for. Recognizing the need, within two hours Mr. Brown
had convened the executive board, who can authorize to open the contract for that, which Mr. Hugg
and a few other individuals received an email from the Union on Friday morning, offering to open the
contract for the purpose of compensation of DOE employee unions, which include all the dispatchers
fire and police.
Mr. Brown stated he had other conversations between Chief Johnson, Chief Carey, and Mr. Hugg and
believes there can be agreements made, which gives them immediate relief for what they may need to
do, as well as a long-term plan for other items that may come up with compensation, whether it be
pension or healthcare, whatever it may be. Mr. Brown explained at that point, their offer was on the
table, they limited it to just the city and the union, under normal negotiations. Mr. Brown further
explained if the city and union can't agree an arbitrator can be assigned, and we go to chancery court.
Mr. Brown explained the DOE Union is not interested in going through all those steps. Mr. Brown
stated he believes everybody has recognized the need for what is being discussed, and most of the
union does as well. Mr. Brown further explained it is not his decision to make, he cannot authorize it,
so once negotiations are complete, the Union could meet three or four days later, to ratify it and the
City Council would ratify it as well.
Mayor Christiansen stated the State Police Headquarters is closing its regional communication center
in New Castle. Mayor Christiansen explained that the group will transfer to the Kent Center.
Mayor Christiansen believes the city will be up against competition for dispatchers.
Mayor Christiansen reminded members of council that Governor Carney has a pending budget at
Legislative Hall that proposes substantial pay increases for all State of Delaware Employees.
Mayor Christiansen also stated growing municipalities like Smyrna, Middletown, and Milford are far
exceeding the City of Dover’s wages.
Mayor Christiansen asked council to not only focus on the emergency requests but also to authorize
the city manager to do a real pay study to grant equity to all City of Dover employees across the board.
Mr. Hare stated he was in support of a pay study he did not agree with the last study that compared
salaries in Annapolis, Frederick, or Anne Arundel County. Mr. Hare believes the pay should be
comparable to Delaware.
Page 26
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING JUNE 14, 2022 PAGE 9
Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Brown stated bonuses and pay increases fall under compensation in
the DOE contract. Mr. Brown stated he believed they could make an agreement that satisfies the long-
term needs of the many and the immediate needs of the few that are having issues today.
Council President Sudler moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to enter
negotiations with DOE, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Hare, and Mayor Christiansen to negotiate
compensation for the Emergency Dispatchers and to negotiate other DOE positions within 6
months at the discretion of the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil, and
unanimously carried.
Council President Sudler moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to enter
negotiations with America Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees,
Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Hare, and Mayor Christiansen to negotiate compensation and classification
of the Dispatch Supervisor. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil, and unanimously carried.
Mrs. Anderson moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration
Committee meeting, hearing no objection the meeting adjourned at 8:58 p.m.
Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting, hearing
