EXCERPT OF APRIL 14, 2008 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
Donation of $10,000 for Vietnam War Memorial
Mayor Carey provided members with a letter received from Mr. George Chabbott, President/Broker of Chabbott Petrosky
Commercial Realtors, Ltd., requesting a donation in the amount of $10,000 to $60,000+/- for the purpose of building a
monument to honor local service members killed and/or missing in action in Vietnam. He noted that Mr. Chabbott provided
a letter he received from the Vietnam Association of America, Kent County Chapter 850, explaining that they recently
received a land donation from Kent County, located at the southwesterly corner of the intersection of South Little Creek Road
and Levy Court Drive, which will be used for building the monument.
For reference purposes, members were also provided with the City’s Community Leader and Organization Recognition Policy.
In discussing the request with the City Manager and consideration of the City’s policies, Mayor Carey suggested that the City
provide in-kind services, such as assisting with lighting for the monument. Mr. DePrima stated that the costs for the
installation of conduit and electric could be absorbed through the City’s street lighting expenses. It was noted that the
materials for the lighting is estimated at $6,500.
Referring to Section II, Paragraph C, of the Community Leader and Organization Recognition Policy, Mr. McGlumphy felt
that the request for the Vietnam War Memorial should be considered an exception and suggested that members approve a
donation in the amount of $10,000 as requested.
Mr. Ruane referred to Section V of the Policy and suggested that the original motion better adheres to the policy, noting that
the purpose of the policy was to provide for a strict interpretation to avoid the City being inundated with these types of
requests.
Mr. McGlumphy stated his feeling that the request for the Vietnam War Memorial is an exception, explaining that the City
of Dover is a military town and that $10,000 is minimal to help support a monument to honor those who lost their lives in
Vietnam.
The committee recommended support of the Vietnam War Memorial with an in-kind contribution not to exceed $10,000
within the policies of the City.
At the request of Mr. Ruane, Mr. Slavin indicated that when the committee’s recommendation is presented to Council, a
funding source would be identified.
Mr. McGlumphy moved that the City provide a cash donation in the amount of $10,000 for the Vietnam War Memorial, as
well as any in-kind contributions, seconded by Mrs. Russell.
In response to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Slavin explained that regardless of the discussion that occurred at the committee meeting and
any confusion resulting from the committee’s recommendation, the final action is Council’s responsibility. It was his feeling
that Mr. McGlumphy has captured the spirit of the conversation that occurred at the committee meeting by including the cash
donation as well as providing any in-kind services that may be required and relayed his support of the motion.
Mr. McGiffin cautioned members regarding the making of any cash donations, noting that there are numerous worthy causes
and organizations.
Mrs. Russell recollected a previous request of the Elks Lodge made several years ago for a City flag donation. She stated
that it was determined that members of Council could not grant the request due to City policies and as a result, members of
Council made a personal donation. She questioned if the request before members at this time is different than that of the Elks
Lodge and if a donation is permitted in accordance with City policy.
Mr. Hogan moved that the matter be tabled to allow for clarification, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a roll
call vote of six (6) yes and three (3) no (Mr. McGlumphy, Mr. Slavin, and Mr. Salters).

Annual Contribution to Robbins Hose Company
FISCAL YEAR: 2009 - 2013
PROJECT NO: N/A
CATEGORY: General
DEPARTMENT: Fire
DEPT. RANKING: 1
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This contribution covers payments to the Robbins Hose Company to cover the Major Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan and the
annual mortgage payment for Station #2.
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: The annual mortgage payment is based on an earlier agreement that the City has with the Robbins Hose Company. The
Major Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan ensures loan payments for replacement according to a schedule which guarantees equipment will not be outdated
and unserviceable. This plan is based on replacing one of the Company's five engines and one rescue vehicle every three years which would put the average
replacement age at 18 years. The two ladder trucks would be replaced every 15 years depending on condition and current needs. This schedule would
reduce overall maintenance costs because fire apparatus would be replaced before major problems occur. By providing the Robbins Hose Company with the
needed payments for the Major Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan, the Robbins Hose Company will be enabled to pay for a $5.5 million door rehabilitation of
the Company Headquarters on Governors Avenue. This renovation is designed to handle 25 years of growth of the company and would preclude any need
for an additional fire station in Dover. The Robbins Hose Company will also cover costs associated with miscellaneous apparatus and equipment such as
command units, utility vehicles, and large hose replacement.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: increased maintenance costs; possibility of not meeting ISO requirements and NFPA
standards

Upgrade/Replacement of Inner City Fiber Optic Loop
FISCAL YEAR S : 2008 - 2009
PROJECT NO: 3
CATEGORY: General
DEPARTMENT: Information Technology
DEPT. RANKING: 3
NEW PROJECT: No
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is the second year for this project. The Fiber Network Evaluation Study completed June 2007 by CTC, Inc.
identified more work and costs than we were able to budget for in 2007/2008. This second year will provide funds necessary to complete
the redundant fiber loop.
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: If we have a break in the current fiber, there will be loss of services (computer and phone) until the break
can be located and repaired by specialized third party fiber splicing personnel.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Possible outages of network and phone for several hours at a time.
THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: EE0710 is the first year project.
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: There will be approximately $100,000 used for electronics. All equipment will be
purchased with warranties so the impact to operating budget, if any, may not be seen until 2011 or later. A ball park estimate of 10% for
annual maintenance is being used here and will be refined after equipment is actually purchased.
TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: Project is currently in progress and will be completed during the first half of fiscal year 2008/2009.
COMMENTS: CTC estimated $233,000 for this project. $122,000 was budgeted for 2007/2008 so the remaining balance,$111,000, is
budgeted for 2008/2009.

GPS Tracking of City Fleet
FISCAL YEARS : 2009 - 2011
PROJECT NO: 2
CATEGORY: General
DEPARTMENT: Information Technology
DEPT. RANKING: 2
NEW PROJECT: Yes
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: requests. This project, which was identified in the 2004 IT Long Range Plan, involves the project planning and
subsequent implementation of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in city vehicles. By utilizing this technology in conjunction with our GIS
systems, we will be able to improve utilization of our city fleet and improve response times for our citizens. This project received enough
votes at the Technology Advisory Committee in October 2007 to appear in the top ten
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: The system will be accessible from any computer with Internet connection and pays for itself quickly in fuel
savings, better allocation of mobile resources, and faster response to customer requests. Being able to provide faster response to service
requests leads to satisfied customers. More efficient fleet routing, decreased driver down-time, and minimized impact of traffic. Dispatchers
receive vehicle location and status information in real-time without driver's intervention.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Non-efficient fleet routing with some driver down-time
THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: High priority project from annual TAC Meeting
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: There will be a monthly wireless connectivity charge for each vehicle. Estimates are
$25/month per vehicle. Per the state contract with Networkcar, the first three years are prepaid with the vehicle equipment. Since the
service is prepaid with the capital investment, the impact on operating budget will appear three years afterward.
TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: During 2008 we expect to perform initial planning and vendor selection since no moneys were available. This
project will pick up from there to fund the role out of this technology to the City fleet (estimated to be 90 vehicles) over the next three
years.
COMMENTS: These estimates are based on the current State of Delaware contract with Networkcar. The state uses this vendor to track the
entire state fleet. The current cost per vehicle is $425 for hardware (self installation) and roughly $900 per vehicle for 3 year cell
communication contract. I have added $10,000 for training in the first year. I have also added $2000 per year as the hardware cost will be
higher for adapting the devices to larger trucks.

DEPT. RANKING: 2
NEW PROJECT: No
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will mill down, repave, and restripe the parking lots on the southeast and southwest sides of the
building. Currently, the southwest lot has several potholes that need to be filled in and repaired more permanently. Both lots are developing
cracks and deteriorating quickly. The City crews came over and put cold patches down on the southwest side, but have not been back to
perform a more permanent repair that will sustain us through the winter.
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: The potholes are bad enough that they could cause damage to Department and personal vehicles if not
fixed.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: The potholes are bad enough that they could cause damage to Department
and personal vehicles if not fixed and could be considered a safety liability issue due to the fact that numerous people use our parking
lots/facility.

Server Room Fire Suppression System
FISCAL YEAR: 2009
PROJECT NO: PD0901
CATEGORY: General
DEPARTMENT: Police
DEPT. RANKING: 1
NEW PROJECT: Yes
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will replace and upgrade the current water-based fire suppression system which is in use in our computer server room
located on the second floor of our building with a dry chemical-based system (FM system). Our server room currently houses approximately 18 servers and
computers that run all of the Law Enforcement applications in our building as well as Verizon’s computerized 911 telephone system and our Motorola radio
equipment. Installation of the new fire suppression system would involve replacing the ceiling tiles in the room to make the room air tight and also replacing
the existing water distribution system with the chemical-based system components.
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: In the case of an emergency, a water-based system would extinguish the fire in the computer server room, but the computer
equipment would be destroyed in the process by the water damage. New equipment would have to be purchased to replace the old computer equipment just
to keep the department operating and funds for this purchase are not programmed in any part of our budget. Implementing the dry chemical-based system
would allow the fire to be extinguished with minimal damage if any to the computer equipment in server room. The exact cost of the current computer
operating in our server room is not immediately known but it is well over $100,000.00.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Should a fire disaster occur, failure to upgrade the current fire suppression system will result
in huge costs for the department to replace all the computer equipment destroyed by fire and/or water damage. Although some workarounds are possible for
some portions of the systems used by department personnel, most of the systems will not be accessible until replacement computer equipment can be
purchased. If this computer equipment was to be destroyed by a fire or even by water damage it would be a catastrophic event to the department as all of our
computers operate out of this one control room.
THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: N/A
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: Although the total cost for all the computer equipment maintained in the server room is not known,
savings will occur because new equipment should not have to be purchased after a fire disaster event. Current estimate of existing equipment is over
$100,000.00.
TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: If approved, the department would work to have the new fire suppression system installed as soon as possible.
COMMENTS: When the current server room was constructed funding was not available to install a fire suppression system other than a water based system.
The City of Dover Fire Marshall Mr. Truax strongly recommends a replacing our current system with the chemical based fire suppression system for the server
room .

FISCAL YEARS: 2009 - 2011
PROJECT NO:
CATEGORY: General
DEPARTMENT: Public Services - Administration
DEPT. RANKING: 3
NEW PROJECT: No
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The GIS Infrastructure and Mobile Solutions Strategy is a plan to work toward improving GIS technologies by
expanding its infrastructure. Having the ability to implement departmental needs throughout the City because of a sound cutting edge
infrastructure is paramount. As the City moves forward in technology many of its needs are being pioneered in the GIS field. Mobile
computing, wireless networking, custom web viewers and AVL (vehicle) tracking are just some examples of technology being utilized and
developed with GIS.
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: This strategy would procure hardware and software as well as perform pilot projects that would test the
ability of the City to expand in such areas of technology. The types of hardware to be purchased are GPS receivers, patch antennas, laptops,
vehicle mounts and lightweight clients. Software would be extensions used in conjunction with ESRI’s ArcGIS software to perform specific
tasks. Types of extensions are spatial analyst, network analyst, etc. ESRI Services may be purchased for help with advancement in the City’s
use of ArcGIS Server Mobile.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Delay deployment of GIS technology to various areas of City government.
THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: GIS, IT Long Range Plan
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: As pilot projects are preformed and found to be successful budgets will grow as the
pilots are implemented department or city-wide. Future software maintenance and hardware replacement (sustainability)
TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS:
COMMENTS: The City is using two NASCAR races a year to implement new technologies. Along with training employees in these
technologies we are utilizing techniques used in damage assessment and emergency recovery during daily race weekend operations. To
continue expanding on such pilot projects we would need additional hardware and software. Other below represents ESRI services and
support. Miscellaneous below represents mostly hardware and some software.

Silver Lake Park Revitalization Project
FISCAL YEARS : 2009 - 2013
PROJECT NO:
CATEGORY: General
DEPARTMENT: Public Services - Streets
DEPT. RANKING: 4
NEW PROJECT: Yes
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project will remove all of the old pavement and parking areas and construct a new central parking lot
and access to the boat ramp area as well as access from Kings Highway. The existing pavement condition is in poor quality and the parking
pods create a public perception problem. This project will plant trees, flowers, and shrubs below the dam on Silver Lake to Court Street
along the St. Jones River in order to improve water quality and protect the stream bank. Project will be a multi-year project.
NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: Currently there are no stormwater management practices being implemented on this site and the location
adjacent to the St. Jones River causes direct stormwater discharge to an environmentally sensitive area. The proposed reconstruction and
relocation of the loaded parking lot will allow for best management practices regarding stormwater management to be implemented at this
site.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Continuance of complaints regarding the parking pods, the further
deterioration of the existing pavement sections and parking areas, lack of stormwater management practices, bank erosion related to
stormwater runoff and poor site lighting.
THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: St. Jones River Project as well as the dredging of Mirror Lake.
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: none
TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: Design proposed for Fiscal-2009, construction Fiscal-2010, landscaping implementation Fiscal-2011-2013.
COMMENTS: The proposed project includes parking reconstruction, planning and design and ultimately landscaping for this section of the St.
Jones River. The project includes components of the Silver Lake Revitalization Project.
