Regular Council Meeting of 09/22/2008
PETITION TO ANNEX AND ZONE PROPERTY
Before the Dover City Council
September 22, 2008
Applicants/Owners: Pilgrim Holiness Church
Church of Christ, Inc.
Location/ Property Address: 1156 S. Governors Avenue
Tax Parcel ID #: ED00-086.05-01-06.00-000
ED00-086.05-01-11.00-000
Application Date: June 25, 2008
Size: 1.074+/- acres
Present Use: Church & Parsonage
Proposed Use: Church and Parsonage
Comprehensive
Plan Designation: Category 1 – Lands Identified for Annexation (Office & Commercial)
County Zoning: BG (General Business)
RS-1 (Single Family Residential)
Proposed Zoning: C-2A (Limited Central Commercial)
Planning Commission
Recommendation: Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended in favor of the annexation with the proposed C-2A zoning
classification.
File Number: AX-08-02A
Page 2
Surrounding Land Uses:
The land northwest of the subject parcels is zoned BG (General Business Zone) and RS-1 (Single Family
Residence Zone) in Kent County. The adjacent parcels to the southwest are zoned RM-1 (Medium Density
Residential) and C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) in the City of Dover. The adjacent parcels in to the
northeast and southeast are zoned BG (General Business Zone) in Kent County.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Annexation and Growth Map contained within the current certified Comprehensive Plan Update 2003
designates this land area as Category #1 – Lands Identified for Annexation. The map indicates
Commercial and Office Land Use designation.
Cost-Revenue Analysis:
The Cost-Revenue analysis showed for the two annexations, a total negative cash flow to the City of
totaling approximately $63,332 over ten years. Staff believes the calculations performed by the Cost-
Revenue Model to be highly inaccurate for these properties. The Cost-Revenue Model does not adequately
reflect estimates of potential costs or draws upon City resources when applied to small parcels or enclaves.
Enclaves present a particular challenge for the model in that most enclave parcels already receive City
services in one form or another.
Recommendation of the Planning Staff:
Because this is a Category 1 designated area in the Comprehensive Plan, staff supports the annexation and
the requested C-2A (Limited Central Commercial) zoning classification. Staff recommends that model
used to prepare the Cost-Revenue Analysis not be factored into any decision made by the Planning
Commission for this application as it appears to inadequately address the service requirements of the
church and of the commercial properties.
Staff recommendation was made prior to a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission held a public hearing on each application on August 18, 2008, during which no members of
the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposed annexation and rezoning. Following the
public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended in favor of the annexations with the
proposed C-2A zoning classification.

Regular Council Meeting of 09/22/2008

Ms. Donna S. Mitchell, CPA
Controller/Treasurer
City of Dover
15 East Loockerman Street
Dover, DE 19901
Subject: Proposal to Perform Review Electric System Financial and Rate Spreadsheet Model
Dear Ms. Mitchell:
Burns & McDonnell is pleased to submit this letter proposal to perform review services for the City of
Dover Electric System financial forecasts. Burns & McDonnell is prepared to complete a review of the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Electric System financial forecast, cost-of-service and rate design models recently
updated by the City of Dover. Our experience in preparing the original financial forecast, cost-of-service
and rate design models should make completing the review a relatively straight forward matter.
Scope of Work
The major elements of the proposed Scope of Work include review of the financial forecast for 2010 and
the subsequent four years, review of the cost of service allocations for the 2010 test year, and review of the
resulting electric rate adjustments resulting from the financial forecast and cost of service elements of the
spreadsheet models.
Review Financial Forecast
Burns & McDonnell will review the financial forecast model updated by the City. The financial forecast is
developed to determine the adequacy of revenues for a five-year forecast period. The updated financial
forecast includes projections of annual revenues under existing rates and the annual revenue requirement,
including purchased power costs, all operating expenses, capital requirements, debt service requirements,
and reserve requirements, by year for the forecast period. The financial forecast model identifies the
overall change in revenue required to provide for adequate funding for capital improvement programs, to
meet all recurring annual operating and capital expenditures, to cover all debt service requirements, to
maintain sufficient cash balances and capital reserves.
Prior to the City’s finalization of the financial forecast model, the City and Burns & McDonnell will agree
on the updated financial forecast model results and the assessment of estimated impacts on the revenue
requirements of the Electric System. Burns & McDonnell and the City will have a conference call to
review the model results and discuss any necessary revisions.
Review Cost-of-Service Analysis
Burns & McDonnell will next review the cost-of-service analysis model updated by the City. The City will
complete an update to the cost-of-service analysis utilizing information from the financial forecast. The
cost-of-service analysis will be completed using FY 2010 as the test year. The cost-of-service analysis
should include appropriate allocation factors based on statistical units of service and allocation
methodologies. In order to ensure that revenue is recouping the cost of product or services rendered, all
sources of revenue should be reviewed. The cost of service analysis provides for the unbundling of costs to
specific functions. The analysis also provides allocation of appropriate costs to specific customer classes.
Prior to finalization of the cost-of-service analysis model, the City and Burns & McDonnell will discuss
and agree on the revisions to the model based on the FY 2010 test year and the assessment of estimated
impacts on the cash flow of the Electric System. Burns & McDonnell and the City will discuss the cost-of-
service analysis model in a conference call.
Review Electric Rates
Burns & McDonnell will review the rate model updated by the City. The City will complete an update to
the rate model with the most recent fiscal year’s billing data. This billing data along with the existing and

Ms. Donna S. Mitchell Page 2
proposed electric rates will be reviewed by Burns & McDonnell to ensure that the proposed rate design is
recovering the necessary revenues as determined in the cost-of-service analysis model.
Optional Model Training Services
Burns & McDonnell will, as an optional service, provide a one day training session on updating and
utilizing the financial forecast, cost-of-service, and rate model spreadsheets for the City of Dover and
Electric System staff. The one day session will be lead by Adam Young and will include a PowerPoint
presentation and hands on work in each of the individual spreadsheets. A user’s manual will be provided
which outlines the basic functionality of the various spreadsheets.
Proposed Budget
Burns & McDonnell proposes to perform the review services for an estimated fee of $12,500. This fee is
based on approximately 120 man-hours for completing the required effort. This estimate does not include
any expenses associated with a trip to Dover. If the work can be completed for less than the estimated fee,
the City will only be billed for the actual costs incurred to complete the services. The optional model
training services can be provided for an additional fee of $4,100. This fee includes expenses associated
with travel for the one day training session in Dover.
Burns & McDonnell appreciates the opportunity to provide the City of Dover continued service in these
important matters. Should you have any questions regarding the material presented herein please call Ted
Kelly at (816) 822-3208. If this proposal for the review services is acceptable please indicate by signing
below and returning one copy of the letter. If the City wishes to also have Burns & McDonnell provide the
optional model training services please indicate by signing the appropriate line below.
Respectfully submitted,
BURNS & McDONNELL
