First State
AQUATIC
CENTER
Transforming Delaware into a premier
sports tourism destination
The First State Aquatic Center (FSAC) represents a transformative opportunity to drive economic growth, boost local
tourism, and provide essential aquatic facilities to the community. Featuring:
10-lane Olympic/Long course pool Recreational Ninja Cross (obstacle course attraction)
8-lane short course pool Outdoor Water Feature
Zero-depth entry multi-use pool Spectator Seating 1,500+
The FSAC is designed to attract elite swimmers from the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. With its strategic location,

Dear Supporter of the FSAC initiative, July 15, 2025
A place to swim, heal, train, and belong — that’s the vision behind the First State Aquatic Center
(FSAC). A year-round aquatic and wellness facility designed to meet critical needs in Central
Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic region. Despite being a state surrounded by water, Delaware
currently lacks an indoor 50-meter pool and has few facilities that are fully accessible to veterans,
seniors, families, and athletes all in one place. FSAC will change that.
The proposed facility includes:
Board of A 10-lane, 50-meter competition pool with seating for 1,500+
Directors An 8-lane short-course pool for lessons, rehab, and fitness
A zero-depth entry warm therapy and teaching pool
Community Outdoor water feature
Engagement
Fitness facilities, classrooms, and meeting space
Nanette Holmes Dedicated access for teams, masters swimmers, and community use
Sean Saxton
Janie Warren
FSAC will be more than a pool. It will be a community anchor, public health resource,
and economic driver — hosting local and regional meets, creating jobs, and delivering
Planning
and Strategy life-saving swim instruction.

Section 10 – Open Space, Recreation and Other Public Facilities (select excerpts).
Article 5 Section 10
Section 10. - Open space, recreation, and other public facilities.
The City of Dover shall require the reservation of open space, recreation, and other public facilities in
accordance with the provisions of this section as a condition of approval for all one-family dwelling,
two-family dwelling and multiple-family dwelling residential developments requiring conditional use
approval, site development plan approval, or land subdivision approval by the City of Dover Planning
Commission.
10.1 Recreation areas.
10.11 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that active recreation areas are
provided as an integral design element within residential developments and that such facilities are
of an adequate scale in relation to the size of the residential development and which provide
residents with a variety of active recreational pursuits.
10.12 Dedication required. The commission shall require the dedication or reservation of
recreation areas, and the subsequent construction of recreation facilities of a character, extent
and location suitable to the needs created by a development for recreation facilities as defined
and in accordance with the design guidelines set forth.
10.13 Definition. The following are illustrative of the types of recreation areas and subsequent
facilities that shall be deemed to serve active recreational needs and therefore to count toward
satisfaction of the recreation area requirements of this section: tennis courts, handball courts,
racquetball courts, swimming pools, saunas and exercise rooms, meeting or activity rooms within
clubhouses, baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, swings, slides and
play apparatus, and developed walking, jogging or biking trails.
Because the project is located within the Downtown Redevelopment Target Area, it qualifies for
an exemption under Article 5, §10.515 Residential developments located within the Downtown
Redevelopment Target Area as defined in Appendix C. Under this provision, the applicant must
provide 75 square feet of active recreation per dwelling unit with a minimum of 2,500 square

requirements set forth in section 10.16, but shall be required to provide 75 square feet
of active recreation area per dwelling unit with a minimum of 2,500 square feet
provided on site. If the commission determines that the construction of the entirety of
the required active recreation area is not practical or desirable, the commission shall
require a cash in lieu donation for the active recreation area determined as not practical
or desirable. Cash in lieu shall be calculated in accordance with subsection 10.173 of
this article.

III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Department of Planning &
Inspections and the Parks & Recreation Department following review of the Active Recreation
Area proposed for The Governor: Mixed-Use Building at 120 S. Governors Avenue project.

SF Park with playground and dog run; and 7,225 SF Rooftop Courtyard.
a. Additionally, there is an indoor bike storage area that can store 20 bicycles and
20 exterior bicycle parking spaces.
2. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Active Recreation Area amenities, subject to
review of the Active Recreation Plan sheet to confirm details. Staff also notes that this
location in the Downtown is in a walkable area where the sidewalk system leads to open
space areas like Mirror Lake Park, Silver Lake Park, the Legislative Mall area, and The

any trash/waste disposal equipment.
c. Identify if the playground usage will be limited by operations of the child day care
center.
d. Identify height and materials of the proposed fencing.
4. The applicant is reminded of the requirements for construction phasing of the recreation
area associated with the development of the residential units. With all residential units in
one building, the recreation amenities will have to be completed in conjunction with the
building’s construction and prior to issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy.
Article 5 §10.6 Construction Phasing. The recreation and open space areas shall be
completed in a proportion equal to or greater than the proportion of residential dwelling
units completed, except that one hundred (100) percent of the recreation and open space
areas shall be completed prior to issuing building permits for the final twenty (20) percent
of the dwelling units proposed. Building permits shall not be issued for dwelling units
unless the requirements of this section are met.
5. There shall be provisions which ensure that the common open space land (including
active recreation area) shall continue as such and be properly managed and maintained.
The developer shall either retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such
open land; or provide for and establish one (1) or more organizations for the ownership
and maintenance of all common open space i.e. a Homeowners Association. The
organization shall be responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes on the common
open space.

Glossary
Accrued Interest: Interest that is due on a bond or other fixed income security since the last interest payment was made.
Agencies: Federal agency securities and/or Government-sponsored enterprises.
Amortized Cost: The original cost of the principal of the security is adjusted for the amount of the periodic reduction of any discount or premium from the purchase
date until the date of the report. Discount or premium with respect to short-term securities (those with less than one year to maturity at time of issuance) is amortized
on a straight line basis. Such discount or premium with respect to longer-term securities is amortized using the constant yield basis.
Asset-Backed Security: A financial instrument collateralized by an underlying pool of assets – usually ones that generate a cash flow from debt, such as loans,
leases, credit card balances, and receivables.
Bankers’ Acceptance: A draft or bill or exchange accepted by a bank or trust company. The accepting institution guarantees payment of the bill as well as the insurer.
Commercial Paper: An unsecured obligation issued by a corporation or bank to finance its short-term credit needs, such as accounts receivable and inventory.
Contribution to Total Return: The weight of each individual security multiplied by its return, then summed for each sector to determine how much each sector added
or subtracted from the overall portfolio performance.
Effective Duration: A measure of the sensitivity of a security’s price to a change in interest rates, stated in years.
Effective Yield: The total yield an investor receives in relation to the nominal yield or coupon of a bond. Effective yield takes into account the power of compounding
on investment returns, while nominal yield does not.
FDIC: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. A federal agency that insures bank deposits to a specified amount.
Interest Rate: Interest per year divided by principal amount and expressed as a percentage.
Market Value: The value that would be received or paid for an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Maturity: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.
Negotiable Certificates of Deposit: A CD with a very large denomination, usually $1 million or more, that can be traded in secondary markets.
Par Value: The nominal dollar face amount of a security.
Pass-through Security: A security representing pooled debt obligations that passes income from debtors to its shareholders. The most common type is the
mortgage-backed security.

maturity proceeds) occurs on a non-business day, the funds are exchanged on the next business day.
Supranational: A multinational union or association in which member countries cede authority and sovereignty on at least some internal matters to the group, whose
decisions are binding on its members.
Trade Date: The date on which the transaction occurred; however, the final consummation of the security transaction and payment has not yet taken place.
Unsettled Trade: A trade which has been executed; however, the final consummation of the security transaction and payment has not yet taken place.
U.S. Treasury: The department of the U.S. government that issues Treasury securities.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval from City Council of the proposed amendments to the engineering design scope by the
consulting firms to complete design of this project.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In the summer of 2022, AECOM was awarded a contract to complete engineering design work for the
Meeting House Branch Drainage Improvement Project. As this design was moving forward, various
unforeseen items came up to complicate the project. This included the potential of creating a park on the
property, which required a closed pipe design (instead of the originally designed open channel).
Additionally, the city worked with Bayhealth to assure their future master plan did not conflict with our
design. A third item was the requirement of wetland jurisdiction from DNREC. A fourth item included
our consultant unsuccessfully locating a critical underground pipe that must be precisely designed to avoid
any issues during construction. Finally, our environmental consultant, Compliance Environmental,
provided a proposal to finalize the required DNREC feasibility study and provide additional support
during excavation.

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $316,000.00 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $0
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): IT Budget
TIMETABLE: Completion by 2027
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the following grants that total $316,000 through
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency: SLCGP-23-1157, SLCGP-23-1158, SLCGP-23-1159,
SLCGP-23-1160, and SLCGP-23-1161. The work performed by these grants will aid us in upgrading our
infrastructure to better protect our system and network by enhancing security, and to update plans for best
practices and Continuity of Operations.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The State of Delaware, through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), has made available
funds to improve the cybersecurity posture of municipalities, counties, and state agencies through a grant program.
The city has been approved, and funding is available for a series of projects that were submitted. There is no cost
share needed for these grants.
These projects have been reviewed and approved by a State and Local Cybersecurity Grant committee, DEMA,
CISA, and FEMA. They address areas that have been identified as improvements in various parts of our IT
infrastructure. The plans are:
SLCGP-23-1157-S: Cyber Resilience and Business Continuity Project ($170,000) The purpose of this project is
to establish a framework and system that allows the City of Dover to continue critical operations in the face of
disruptions, whether due to cyberattacks, phishing and social engineering attacks, ransomware infections,
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, advanced persistent threats, or other incidents. This project aims to
reduce the amount of time the City of Dover's operations are affected by incidents, particularly those that threaten
digital infrastructure, while safeguarding the city's data against threats that may compromise its confidentiality,
integrity, and availability, ensuring that it can be accessed and used when needed. The scope of the project is to
procure an on-site and cloud-based system for providing regular data backups, secure storage of backups (both
on-site and off-site), and redundant hardware to ensure data can be restored quickly after an incident. In particular,
to address failures in critical hardware systems (servers, networking equipment), inadequate backup storage
capacity that can disrupt business continuity that could result in service disruptions and data loss.
SLCGP-23-1158-S: ($29,000) Security, Compliance, and Identity Training ($20,000). Effective cybersecurity is
the foundation for managing and securing an organization's identities, devices, apps, data, and infrastructure.
Learn by doing hands-on exercises, training courses, and live classes that provide foundational and advanced-
level knowledge on security, compliance, and identity concepts and related cloud-based and on-site security tools
44
Page 45
and solutions. The purpose is to train the City of Dover IT staff on Microsoft and other security, compliance, and
Item 4.
identity solutions to provide a holistic and end-to-end security solution in the solution Microsoft 365 environment.
This training will include the basic concepts of security, compliance, and identity of Microsoft identity and access
management solutions, along with identifying and implementing compliance capabilities in Microsoft AD, and it
connected identity technologies. This training includes identity content for enterprise application registration,
conditional access, identity governance, and other identity tools.
SLCGP-23-1159-S: Transition domain to .GOV from DOVER.DE.US ($20,000). Our current Dover.DE.US
domain name is outdated, and since technically owned by the State of Delaware, getting certificates requires
authorization from the state and causes delays in the certificate renewal process. Email and identity phishing
campaigns are becoming more prevalent and are increasingly more elaborate. However, it can be difficult to know
whether someone communicating via email is who they say they are, or that they really represent their purported
government entity. The .gov is identified as a secure domain name that shows government websites and emails
for the City of Dover adhere to the highest standards in data protection.
SLCGP-23-1160-S: IT-OT Network Security ($87,000). Our Public Works and Electrical Departments'
Operational Technology (OT) Infrastructure is the backbone of services provided to our communities, but it lags
behind in software and hardware upgrades, needing to support modern cybersecurity tools and solutions. Critical
infrastructure is targeted as one of the core areas for funding, addressing these shortcomings to protect against
cybersecurity attacks. The importance of a secure infrastructure system within our OT network, like scanning and
monitoring tools, updated hardware, and proper communication and network segregation, will help in protecting
these critical assets.
SLCGP-23-1161-S Cybersecurity Incident Plan Update - Phase 2 ($19,000). This project is phase two of the
previous year's award grant (SLCGP-22-0976: Cybersecurity Incident Plan Update ($20,000)). This grant will
complete the review and update our existing plans and policies, and detail a comprehensive and best practice
guideline-compliant document.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Discussion and Direction for staff
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Non-bargaining employees (those not represented by a union) traditionally receive a flat annual adjustment to
their compensation as part of the budget preparation action. In recent years that increase was 3% and most
recently set at 4%. This is significantly below the increases built into the various union scales as a result of both
an annual adjustment of the pay scale and the award of an annual step in grade. These increases were around
7% depending on the union contract.
This disparity results in what is known as “wage compression”, as discussed in the attached exhibits. Wage
compression can result in reduced morale and retention, and difficulty filling managerial jobs. Staff wish to
address this issue during the current Fiscal Year and as we go forward into the subsequent budget cycle which
will commence this fall.
There are two documents attached for committee consideration: a discussion paper drafted by the City Manager
and a response with different options prepared by the HR Director. Input from the Council and Committee is
desired so that the proposal can be more fully developed and possibly implemented as early as January 2026.

Exhibit #1
DRAFT
Discussion Paper for consideration by the
Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee
Wage Compression- A Significant and Growing Concern for Dover
Salaried and hourly (union represented) experience two different compensation
structures. Salaried employment provides a fixed, predictable income, while hourly paid
employment fluctuates based on hours worked, potentially including overtime. Salaried
positions often come with benefits like health insurance and paid time off, while hourly
employees may have more ability to earn overtime pay.
Wage (or pay compression) occurs when there is little difference in pay between
employees with varying levels of experience, skills, or seniority. This often happens when
new hires are brought in at salaries close to or higher than those of long-tenured
employees, or when the pay for lower-level positions approaches that of higher-level ones,
especially when the differences between levels are too small to be meaningful. It also
happens where there are union contract scales and steps that vary significantly compared
to a non-union formula. It may occur when two otherwise comparable jobs are treated
differently due to eligibility for union coverage (as a result of differing access to confidential
records, for example).
In some cases, this can even result in wage inversion , whereby new employees
earn more than older, more experienced ones or when contracted increases move up faster
over time than budgeted ones.
Wage inversion opens up the door for a discrimination claim, especially if the individual
earning less than the new hire is part of a protected class of worker based on gender, race,
sexual orientation, age, or other underrepresented group. The employee has an opportunity
to claim pay discrimination.
Wage compression can be the result of external factors like minimum wage increases or a
tight labor market or internal issues, such as a failure to keep pace with fair market pay.
The negative impacts of Wage Compression hurt culture and employee morale, promoting
a sense of unfairness at work, which may lead to an a decision to leave the city, or view the
pay discrepancy as discriminatory. It encourages turnover and affects human capital,
leading an enterprise to lose long-standing employees, who are often some of their best
employees, and as noted above create grounds for litigation.
47
Page 48
Item 5.
Exhibit #1
Often employees represented by unions benefit as a result of a fixed automatic
compensation increase, often combining a general wage increase for all positions (maybe
inflation adjusted) plus an advancement (step-increase) in grade as a function of tenure.
Salaried employees typically don’t get both.
In Dover, in recent years union contract combined increases have averaged near 7%. In this
same period, non-bargaining increases have ranged between 2% and 4% (current budget
year is 4%) with no step or longevity increases. Benefits and other forms of added
compensation are essentially the same for all employees except for the opportunity to work
overtime.
In many instances union employees may reach or exceed the compensation of a non-
bargaining manager or supervisor where skills or education do not support the outcome. In
some instances, employees tend to decline promotion to a managerial level because of the
small difference in compensation, the benefits of a contract scale, and the ability to earn
more with the benefit of overtime or special duty pay (1.5 to 2.0 x regular rate).
Union representation provides many desired benefits such as predictability, job protection,
added compensation, stronger grievance provisions, and built-in pay increases. But the
desire for representation shouldn’t be to the detriment of those not represented, at least as
it relates to fair compensation.
EXAMPLES* - The following examples (See table) demonstrate the impact of wage
compression or inversion, projected two years in the future.
First example – equal positions but unequal compensation due to union contracted scale.
Non-bargaining budgeted increases do not keep pace. The difference in current
compensation is probably due to longevity. Because non-bargaining employees in this
class have access to sensitive data, they are not union eligible.
Second, third and fourth examples -reflects the cumulative effect of different percentages
– plays out in subsequent years. They also demonstrate the manager/supervisor to
employee relationship where employee closes in or exceeds manager’s compensation. The
impact is exacerbated in future years.
Fifth and sixth examples – these are examples of supervision of employees with specialized
skills or credentials; the delta grows disproportionately (constantly widening spread)
leading toa form of wage inversion. It's pretty common for technically skilled employees to
make more than their managers in many industries. A skilled employee is typically
compensated based on their specific, valuable skills, certification and knowledge, while a
manager's compensation includes pay for taking on responsibilities, accountability, and
leadership. Salary is about market value theoretically. If a manager is managing someone
48
Page 49
Item 5.
Exhibit #1
who’s highly technical with a rare skill set, then the manager should expect the employee’s
salary to be independent of theirs.
Prior to the consideration of the FY26 budget, Naomi Poole, HR Director, raised this
concern in June in response to a compensation adjustment in the Police Department. Her
original proposal**:
What other Non-Bargaining Positions are involved? The 9% spread for the Chief and the
Major do not impact the other non-bargaining employees. It is my assessment that pay
equity amongst all non-bargaining employees should be comparable if not better than the
other negotiated union contracts so that we can limit the impact of pay compression.
Maintaining a 4% increase will continue to create a huge lag in pay equity and will increase
the probability of union employees’ ability to make more than the non-bargaining
employees that supervise them. My suggestion by no means is a permanent resolve, as
that will take more resources and discussion, but merely a recommendation to keep non-
bargaining pay scales above water.
What would this cost to implement? With the help of my HR team, and Trish, we created
a FY26 non-bargaining pay scale to include the average percentage that union employees
are set to receive FY26. The average increase is 7%, and the non-bargaining scale reflects
just that. The total additional cost added to the approved 4% non-bargaining increase will
be approximately $130,448.35. I have included a spreadsheet with a full breakdown of how
we arrived at the estimated amount.
How soon can we act on the recommendations? My recommendations are certainly a
change from what was already projected and approved for FY26. The changes would need
approval, and once approved, my team and I can implement those changes for the July 1st
increase as planned. Time is of the essence because HR would need an appropriate
amount of time to build the new scale in Tyler.
**Note: These recommendations were not deemed timely enough to become part of the
FY26 budget. However, the Council President and the Chair of the Legislative, Finance and
Administration Committee requested that the issue be discussed further, with the
possibility a mid-year correction.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Any additional compensation during FY26 would require analysis to identify additional
funding. Assuming that some additional funding is available, a short-term solution is to
49
Page 50
Item 5.
Exhibit #1
increase non-bargaining compensation by approximately 3% for the second half of the
fiscal year (at a projected added cost of about $65,000 – this needs to be confirmed).
Longer term considerations include creating a two-part salary adjustment for non-
bargaining positions with a fixed base adjustment (4%-5%) and a second part based on
some index (perhaps CPI) .
Simply mirroring the average percentage increase granted to unionized civilian employees
each year putting all employees on a level basis.
Additionally, schedule a regular wage study for non-bargaining positions no less often that
every 3- 5 year to reflect fair market conditions. Make necessary adjustments to base
compensation.
Finally, carefully identify those circumstances where an employee’s credentials, special
skills, training, certifications/licensing, etc. support a wage exceeding the regular
compensation structure and for those determine a market scale separate from practice.

wage compression if extrapolated two years into the future at the 4% and 7% rates.

Item 5.
Exhibit #3
Wage Compression Recommendation:
There has been no radical change in positions and the job market that would otherwise
require a market study. However, following the last civilian wage study, a comparable non-
bargaining pay scale should have been implemented. Current compression issues are
internal and largely due to inequities between unionized and non-unionized positions.
Recommendation
1. Adjustment to Pay Increases
o Instead of applying a 3% increase, non-bargaining employees should receive
a total 6% increase to account for FY25 and FY26.
o This mirrors increases granted to civilian unionized employees and places
non-bargaining employees on a level playing field.
o It also provides an opportunity to incorporate a new non-bargaining scale
moving forward.
2. Cost of Living and Step Scale
o A combined adjustment totaling 7% should be considered (4% cost of living
+ 3% step increase).
o With each civilian negotiation cycle, the non-bargaining scale should be
recalibrated to accommodate percentage changes, ensuring fairness and
consistency.
3. Compression and Equity
o Implementing a scale consistent with unionized employees will help reduce
inequities and address compression concerns.
o Supervisory positions, though smaller in number per the report I shared with
you, should also be reviewed to ensure alignment.
This recommendation should be fully costed by Finance. The non-bargaining pay scale
must be rebuilt to reflect these changes so that the FY26 structure incorporates the
adjustments that should have been made if a FY25 scale had originally been established
for non-bargaining employees.
To achieve equity, mitigate compression, and align with unionized pay practices, it is
recommended that the City implement a 6% increase (spanning FY25 and FY26) for non-
bargaining employees. Finance should rebuild the pay scale accordingly to ensure long-
term alignment.
This approach will at minimum bring civilian non-bargaining employees into parity with
their unionized counterparts while providing a sustainable framework for future
adjustments.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City established an Economic Development Fund to promote projects that enhance the city’s economy. The
Resolution creating the fund reads”:
“The Mayor and City Council seek to set aside funds for economic development and community development
projects to include opportunities to improve the city’s economy and quality of life. An economic development
project will constitute a program or activity having the primary purpose of encouraging the establishment and
growth of business in the city, including the creation and retention of jobs (Res. 2024-15, adopted October 29,
2024).
The purpose of the Economic and Community Development funds will be for the use of programs, policies, or
activities that seek to improve the economic well-being and quality of life for the residents of the City of Dover.
Funds may be used for land or building acquisition, building renovation, matching funds for related grants,
incentives associated with new or expanded businesses, workforce training and development, upfront and
administrative costs associated with the issuance of conduit or TIF bonds, blight removal, or other purposes
consistent with the economic development fund purposes.”
As grants from this fund will benefit qualifying private parties, a rigorous application process is desired to ensure
that the use of such funds has a high probability for success in its goals and has a lasting impact on achievement
of the city’s economic development strategies and plans.
The action requested is further discussion and input on the application process and requirements.
