REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING The Regular City Council Meeting was held by video conference on July 27, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler (arrived at 7:33 p.m.), Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Cole (arrived at 7:34 p.m.), Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Staff members present via video or telephone were Police Chief Johnson, Ms. Peddicord, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Hugg, Mr. Rodriguez, and Mrs. McDowell. Mayor Christiansen was absent. The invocation was given by Councilman Anderson, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Due to the absence of Mayor Christiansen, item #2-A, Presentation - Lutheran Senior Services of Dover, Inc. - Payment-in-Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), was removed from the agenda. Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Slavin and unanimously carried. Mr. Slavin requested that item #3-C-6, Library Reopening Plan, be removed from the consent agenda. Mr. Slavin moved for adoption of the consent agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 13, 2020 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of July 13, 2020 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Slavin, seconded by Mr. Sudler and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. PRESENTATION - LUTHERAN SENIOR SERVICES OF DOVER, INC. - PAYMENT-IN- LIEU OF TAXES (PILOT) Due to the absence of Mayor Christiansen, this item was removed from the agenda. PRESENTATION - 2019 POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT Chief Thomas Johnson and Deputy Chief David Spicer reviewed the 2019 Police Department Annual Report. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson advised that he would have to research if there were any complaints against the police department, the nature of those complaints, and how many of them had merit. He stated that he would email the information. Mr. Lindell advised that he had received a lot of complaints from residents in Bicentennial Village, Heatherfield, and most of the First District regarding the massive amounts of speeding and flagrant disregard for stop signs. He also noted that he had a month-by-month breakdown of open officer positions going back five years to the last time they added officers and it looks like they were doing better with traffic enforcement with less officers than they are now with the increased numbers.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 2 Mr. Lindell stated that every year he hears about the motorcycle division getting back up and running and he asked for an explanation for why it had not happened yet. Responding, Chief Johnson advised that he thought they had placed patrol assets in the area to address traffic enforcement and to have an impact on those issues. He noted that they were in the middle of reorganizing how they do things, the distribution of work, and who is going to be responsible for what. Chief Johnson stated that he had not yet been exposed to the data that Mr. Lindell was referring to and asked for time to research his question further. He noted that the reason the traffic enforcement was down a little bit was because the unit whose primary mission is to do traffic had not been adequately staffed for at least the last 18 months. Mr. Lindell asked Chief Johnson how he would approach community outreach and bridging the gap in the community to address the increases in drug crimes, violent crimes, and gang violence. Chief Johnson advised that community engagement has to be emphasized to the highest degree possible with the staff they have available and that his focus right now is on trying to break the cycle on some of the really disturbing crime numbers in the younger population. He noted that he signed on as a Cooperating Chief with the Fight Crime: Invest in Kids initiative with the Coalition for a Strong America, which has many Delaware Police Chiefs as associate members. Chief Johnson advised that it is a combination of advocating for policies and resources that give them the funds and resources to initiate community-based programs that have an impact on young people all the way up through the teenage years. He noted that he spoke with the national training direction about hosting some programming and training sessions in this current budget year to try to get the officers trained up on youth interaction in order to establish more routine, regular, positive contacts with the young people so the officers can become more of a resource to the young people than either a rival or somebody that they are just apathetic to. Mr. Lindell asked if Chief Johnson had considered Mr. Polce's suggestion a few years ago of having case workers or social workers work alongside the police. Responding, Chief Johnson stated that they recently met with the outreach worker and the program coordinator that work in Smyrna, some local Dover organizations that provide mental health and substance abuse support and services, sheltering, and life guidance. He also brought in Dr. Dennis Caradan for a meeting about looking at the Smyrna model and trying to create greater connectivity between people of all ages and the non-policing services that could have an impact on their lives, which would also impact the safety and security of the Dover community. Chief Johnson stated that there was still some grant money available and he believed they had the ability to tap into existing State and local resources and it was just a matter of ensuring that they have the right resources, response capability, and triage model to begin connecting people with services and to find alternative solutions to some of the community problems. Responding to Mr. Neil, Chief Johnson advised that the actual number of officers on a day-to-day basis was 89 officers available for duty, noting that it was down from an average of 94 in 2018. He noted that there were three officers in the Academy and one in the lateral transfer onboarding process and that he expected to be at 93 by September 12, 2020. Chief Johnson stated that he would be scheduling interviews within the next 10 days with about a dozen candidates for eight open positions. He noted that he may have difficulty getting officers into the academy for the fall semester and he may consider running their own academy.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 3 Mr. Sudler asked how many officers they had per shift and how many shifts they currently had. Responding, Chief Johnson stated that some units that work day/evening and some are strictly day work based on their nature. For basic patrol, there are four separate platoons that work 12 hour shifts for seven out of 14 days. Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the 2019 Police Department Annual Report. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. INTRODUCTION OF 2020 EXECUTIVE STAFF - DOVER POLICE DEPARTMENT The Dover Police Department 2020 Executive Staff presentation was reviewed by Police Chief Thomas Johnson; Captain Randy Robbins, Captain of Operations; Captain Chris Hermance, Captain of Administration; and Captain Kevin Kober, Captain of Professional Standards. Chief Johnson noted that Lieutenant Aaron Dickinson, Commander of the Investigative Unit, and Lieutenant Jordan Miller, Commander of the Uniform Patrol Assets, were on call and unavailable to attend the meeting. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that a proactive approach to policing would be tracking offenses with crime analytical software and putting more policing presence in areas that are showing other associated crimes to serve as a deterrent. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Captain Hermance stated that the current street level cameras are PTZ, or pan tilt zoom, and the new cameras that they are looking at provide 360 degree fields of view and also have a digital zoom capability. He noted that the big thing will be being able to pair up the new technology with the current infrastructure and also improve the current infrastructure to support those systems. Mr. Sudler asked how many cameras they actually had in Dover and how many are actually operating. Responding, Captain Hermance advised that there were approximately 130 cameras throughout the city; however, he did not know the current status of those camera systems. Mr. Taylor asked Captain Hermance to explain the upgrade to the records system to improve collection and revenue. Responding, he noted that part of the upgrade was the speed in which they can collect data due to the system going offline. Captain Hermance stated that when an officer writes a summons, they have to return the summons to the station for the records clerk to manually run that ticket in the system to verify ownership, and then they have to process it into another system, which would then get forwarded on for billing. He advised that they are looking at a handheld system that would input the data on the street. Mr. Sudler suggested that Captain Kober analyze the Diversity and Inclusion Report, if he had not already, for recommendations for training. He noted that quite often organizations look to train their workforce but the money is spent in a way that is really not productive because they haven't really pinpointed the criteria needed for training rather than making an assumption. Chief Johnson explained that they were actively recruiting with diversity in mind and invited members of Council to let him know if they knew someone who might be interested in law enforcement.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 4 COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JULY 14, 2020 The Council Committee of the Whole meeting was held by video conference on July 14, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Hare presiding. Council members present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler, Mr. Neil, Mr. Slavin, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Mr. Cole was absent. Civilian members present via video or telephone for their Committee meetings were Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration), Ms. Maucher (Utility), and Col. Dix, Ret., and Mr. Caldwell (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance - Staff Substitute #2 (SS#2) for Ordinance #2020-05 - Amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Art IX - Lodginghouses and Art X - Rental Dwellings, Appendix F - Fees and Fines, and Article 12 - Definitions Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed Staff Substitute #2 (SS#2) for Ordinance #2020-05. During the Committee of the Whole meeting of February 25, 2020 this item was referred to staff. Staff recommended adoption of Staff Substitute #2 (SS#2) for Ordinance #2020-05. Mr. Neil, regarding Section 22-355, suggested adding “or other fines and penalties,” which are going to be defined in 358. He noted he would add that because all they are saying is they are going to revoke the license, but the owner will be subject to fines and penalties, particularly if somebody is culpable or is assisting in illegal activity. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hare stated that if he is living in a house, he is probably going to make sure that the illegal activity is not happening since he is living there. Mr. Hare stated one of the top things is that they have to be the resident of the property. He noted that if somebody is committing an illegal crime on their property, they are probably going to step up and say something or if that person is going to be involved in it, then the police are going to get involved regardless of what the ordinance says. Mr. Neil stated that it is a little protection for the City at this point. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated he had no problem if they wanted to expand that language. Mr. Hugg noted that the provision about not knowingly allowing any illegal or criminal activities, is straight out of the concepts of nuisance law so it really makes it apparent to the owner that if they have no other grounds for taking legal action,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 5 they can invoke the concept of nuisance. Mr. Hugg stated they also have a provision later in the ordinance that has a “three strikes and you are out” rule, which essentially gives them one more protection from somebody who simply is just not being a good owner for whatever reasons and it is also founded in the notion of nuisance. He stated that any property cited three times as a nuisance or the location of illegal or criminal activity within a 12-month period loses its short-term rental license for at least the rest of the year. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that a single-family zone was included, but a multi-family was not was because those kinds of uses are traditionally in this area of the country, in single-family or duplex residences. He stated that they decided, early on, that since they are regulating this as a land use, that they would limit it to zoning districts where single-family ownership is the predominant activity. Mr. Hugg stated in some of his research, he determined that a lot of jurisdictions did not permit it in apartment districts in part because of the question of subletting and who was responsible. He noted that it was really just a policy decision that single-family zoning districts are where they find the majority of property owners. He noted that they felt it was a more manageable ordinance if they were limited to single-family. Mr. Hare noted that it was not apartment districts and it is like an apartment complex. He noted that they are already subletting their apartment, they would not be eligible to sublet a room in their apartment as Airbnb because they are not the primary owner of that apartment. Mr. Slavin stated that there is also a trend now that some of these Airbnb houses have self-corrected with COVID and that they are not being used, but that he thought it is just going to be the opposite. He stated he thought they are going to be used more because they are going to fly under the radar of some of those restrictions. Mr. Slavin stated in Section 22-355A, regarding that the person who is creating the Airbnb has to be a permanent legal resident of the City of Dover. He stated he was not sure what that means and was not sure what kind of legal standing they have from a constitutional point of view to require that. He asked what the thinking was behind that phrase and why they are limiting it just to residents. Mr. Slavin also asked if they do that for any other businesses in Dover. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Hare stated they did speak to Mr. Nicholas Rodriguez, City Solicitor, and that it is saying the person who is going to have an Airbnb needs to be the legal resident of that property. Mr. Hare stated that they have to live there, he guessed that means they are a legal resident of the City of Dover. Mr. Slavin stated that Section B did not say that, he stated it said no more than one property in addition to the owner’s primary place of residence. Responding, Mr. Hare stated that they have to be a resident of the City of Dover and they can have one other property that they can rent out as an Airbnb and be the legal owner of the property they are running.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 6 Mr. Slavin stated he pushed back gently on the permanent legal resident as a phrase. He stated that kind of hit at a citizenship issue, which a permanent legal resident is a citizenship status in the United States. He stated he did not think that is what they intended and if they do not, he would not go near that. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Hugg stated off the top of his head he could not think of any other businesses that they license that require people to be residents of the City of Dover. Mr. Hugg noted that he had not thought of that. Mr. Hare suggested that they change it to where the person has to be the resident of the property. Mr. Slavin noted then they would have to strike Section B in its entirety. Mr. Hugg stated he would discuss that language with Mr. Rodriguez. Mr. Slavin expressed his concerns that they are creating a precedent with this and asked if they are sending a wrong signal to the business community that are being more restrictive about businesses. He noted that in Section 22-356A, where they have a formula for the number of guests, it shall not exceed twice the number of bedrooms, maximum of eight occupants at any time. He stated it kind of reminded him of the issue of Oxford Houses that they have in the City. When an Oxford House opens in a community, he personally supports the Oxford House model, but when they open in a community there is typically a concern about the number of residents they will have. He stated they bumped into this issue as it relates to fair housing. Mr. Slavin stated that he would just want to make sure that whatever they are prescribing here meets that test that they have faced in other places as well. Mr. Slavin asked Mr. Hugg to research this topic. Mr. Hugg stated he found the calculation for occupancy in a lot of other ordinances in varying forms, but they will take a look at that as well. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Hare stated that they spoke with five people who owned and operated an Airbnb and they were all residents of Dover. Mr. Hugg noted that they all had been in business for some period of time. Mr. Hare also stated they were residential. Mr. Slavin stated he did not want to discredit their input and appreciated it, but if he were an owner of one of these businesses and lived in the City of Dover, of course he would recommend that no one but people who live in the City of Dover can run this business. Mr. Slavin requested a little balancing on that issue. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mr. Hugg stated he briefly spoke with Ms. Judy Diogo, Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC) President, and that she was most concerned in the previous version with the idea of the lodging tax. That upset her more than anything else because the law does not actually apply to B&Bs or Airbnb’s, so they took that out. He stated he sent her an earlier version, but has not heard much back from her. Mr. Hugg stated he is certainly willing to reach back out again. Mr. Hare stated he spoke with Mr. Tom Kramedas, President of Axia Management, and that he had no problem. He noted the people Mr. Kramedas is representing said that they understand Airbnb’s and the work that Mr. Hugg has done

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 7 is okay, because the person is a resident or the legal owner of the property and lives in the City. Mr. Hare stated that their only concern is the fact that there are some people that come into the City, buy a four or five bedroom house, and then turn it into a hotel and do not have to meet any of the hotel requirements. Mr. Slavin stated he would recommend that if it is coming to City Council in two weeks, in the intervening two weeks, a copy of it and an invitation for comment be sent to both the CDCC and to Kent County Tourism so they can obtain their comments and make sure that they have been included in that process. Mr. Sudler also recommended that the State Human Relations Division have an opportunity to review this as additional eyes. Mr. Neil stated that they are talking about having people who care about the City be the owners, as opposed to an outfit that comes and takes the money out of it. He noted they could be an international conglomerate and that profit never comes back to the City. He expressed that his concern is to make sure that they have people who are responsible and have an interest in the success of the City. Mr. Neil stated, regarding Mr. Slavin’s concern for the occupancy, there are safety issues because he does not know what the requirements are in terms of a fire or egress that has to be or sprinklers that would happen during an emergency. He noted they have to weigh the safety of the people who are using the facility. Mr. Lindell stated he did not feel comfortable sending the ordinance to Council even with the reread process and prefers to refer it back to Staff. He noted that then they can reach out to all the interested parties to get their input as well the Council members and add their thoughts and opinions. Mr. Lindell noted that it will be easier if and when it does pass that they have a cleaner resolution and people understand where they are coming from when it gets to the Council floor. Mr. Hare encouraged Council to let Mr. Hugg know what they would recommend. He stated it will be complaint driven by the neighborhood and not something that they are going to be out looking for issues with. Mr. Contant stated that he believed more so in property rights as long as people are safe. He noted if someone is willing to buy a property, they should be allowed to do mostly what they want to do with it, provided it is not criminal in nature. Mr. Contant stated that in the Village of Westover, they have almost 100 townhomes and they have got another 60 to 70 duplexes that he did not think fell under single-family homes, but they are also not apartment complexes. He stated according to the Staff substitute, it is not applying to them, but he thought they would be setting up an unfair unequal advantage for certain residences over other ones and that they need to be careful in doing that. Mr. Hugg clarified that townhouses, duplexes, and traditional single-family homes are all single-family homes, even if they are attached. They are a different form of property than an apartment complex building, it is built as a multi-family structure.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 8 He stated there is a distinction in zoning that recognizes that there are variations in single-family residences. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Hugg stated that he believed the same zoning applies to condos. Mr. Hare stated that they talked to Mr. Rodriguez about this and as long as it is a single-family residence and they own it, they can do an Airbnb if they want. Mr. Neil moved to recommend referring Staff Substitute #2 (SS#2) for Ordinance #2020-05 back to Staff, seconded by Mr. Sudler. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to see if Staff can get a fair housing opinion. He stated that he did not see where that will be a problem because they are not talking about somebody living there, but they are talking about safety issues and occupancy. Mr. Neil moved to recommend referring Staff Substitute #2 (SS#2) for Ordinance #2020-05 back to Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Contant and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:41 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Council President Hare presiding in the absence of Chairman Cole. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Water Production Division Proposed Operational Changes Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Water Production Division proposed operational changes. Staff recommended beginning this operational plan to assist with the ground water resource for all stakeholders. This would be put into action after the completion of the Water Treatment Plant Process Improvement Project.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 9 Mr. Anderson asked if they were coordinating efforts with other users, particularly of the two deep water aquifers and if there is a coordination with other municipalities. Mr. Lyon stated he had not been informed by Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) if they were actually putting a plan into place, and they have been informed about the issues. Mr. Lyon stated he has been at consortium meetings with different stakeholders throughout the area, DNREC and the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC). He stated he could reach out to DNREC and see if they have heard from other municipalities or users of this resource. Mr. Anderson stated he was in favor of this recommendation, but noted that they are such a small user of this aquifer. He noted that he hoped they were taking the lead and not merely going through a motion that is not out of their control. He asked Mr. Lyon to relay their concerns that there needs to be other coordination as well, while they have their cooperation, they need others. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend beginning this operational plan to assist with the ground water resource for all stakeholders. This would be put into action after the completion of the Water Treatment Plant Process Improvement Project, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Update on Development of Provisions and Ordinance for Wireless Communication Facilities Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City Manager, Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a presentation titled, "Wireless Communications Facilities - Update on Development Provisions and Ordinances." Staff recommended discussion only at this time of preliminary documents, unless the Committee develops specific recommendations during discussion. Mr. Harline stated they are going to continue to refine agreements and licensing with pole attaching on City-owned poles and access to City right-of-way. He noted the information on page 34 of the packet has the final things that they will need to review before the proposed ordinances comes back to the Council Committee of the Whole, which right now they have set for August 11th. He noted that since there is no Council meeting on August 24th, they may have to adjust that timeline a little bit, but the idea would be possibly to have it finalized by September 27th. Mr. Harline stated that they should have proposed master license agreements with Verizon and AT&T before the City Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 10 Mr. Neil asked if the new lighting system for the City could be used for this purpose and if it was an extra cost to do that. Responding, Mr. Harline stated that the lighting system that they are working on, that originally came out of the survey by Citelum, can have wireless technology to adjust lighting. Mr. Harline stated that for other purposes, these facilities would be either in addition to or on separate poles. He noted that there are some applications where 5G and 4G technology, when in the City, will assist with the management of that lighting system. They would need to do this ordinance and design whether or not they are getting a smart street lighting program. Mr. Harline stated this could assist a smart street lighting program, but it is possible to do that without so they are independent, but they do work together. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated, regarding the master licenses, others could come in and apply and have a master license with them. Mr. Harline stated he would expect at least T-Mobile, Sprint, to come in at some point and other major organizations that are deploying at 4G, 5G wireless network capacity. He noted that these have to be every several hundred feet to get a network, a mesh, and part of the effective prohibition is preventing them from developing that mesh. Responding to Mr. Anderson, regarding the small wireless provisions review, Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that it is written as 10 days, and believed it is probably calendar days. She stated they can confirm that one way or the other. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:29 p.m. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Due to the absence of Mr. Bobby Wilson, Mr. Anderson requested that item #4 – Mr. Bobby Wilson and Wilmington Hope Commission be moved to the next Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, as amended, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 11 Review of Active Recreation Area Plans (Request for Cash-in-Lieu) - Landing Square Apartments - 600 Bay Road (Planning Reference #C-20-02) Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed the active reaction area plans (request for cash-in-lieu) at landing square apartments – 600 Bay Road (Planning Reference #C-20-02). Staff recommended approval of the active recreation area plan with the comments and conditions provided and acceptance of the $98,387.52 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Col. Dix stated that he did not find grass on the entire layout and it gives him the appearance of a New York City apartment layout. He noted that he did not know where a person exercises a dog in that type of environment or for human exercise. He stated that every tree that is on the plan is used to screen the apartment complex from two restaurants and Verizon store and that there are no trees for beautification or shade in the layout. Col. Dix questioned the bike parking. He stated that is a place where bike parking is designated, and it is not going to withstand that neighborhood. Mr. Johnathan Street, Becker Morgan, stated that the State Police administrative offices are going in the building which is under construction. He noted that the plan and application provided is essentially the developer’s proposal for phase two. Mr. Street stated that they have stripped the retail out of the plan and proposed an additional 20,000 square foot office space and the 80-unit apartment complex. He noted that active rec with the initial application was pretty generalized as an internal clubhouse and the rooftop of fourth-floor deck. Mr. Street stated that in the DAC and Planning Commission comments, it was requested that they give some kind of a further explanation of what is proposed. He stated that what the developer is proposing for the building itself is akin to a multimedia clubhouse room, coffee bar, game room with shuffleboard or other games and activities for the residents themselves, a library with computer access, and a fitness center with after hour’s access. Then, the fourth floor sundeck would obviously be for the residents too, which would be facing the western side of the building or the internal side of the complex itself and would lend itself to chairs, lounge activity and larger games, for the residents to do outside up on the fourth floor. Mr. Street stated as far as staff's recommendations and comments with the report that was provided to them, they do not have many comments. They do not disagree and will work on connectivity. He stated a lot of the issues they fight with the site right now is based on the amount of trees and plantings that are proposed and required by City code and working within that to propose better connections to the Bay Road Trail System. Mr. Street stated one of the questions they had was that the comment on the report says to provide indoor parking storage. He stated right now, they are looking at a number of what is required by code, which is external bike storage, but also covered

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 12 bike storage to try and propose. Mr. Street noted that when looking into those options, they can discuss the indoor bike storage, but providing separate rooms and separate closets for indoor bike storage was not something that they were proposing as of right now. He stated that this is going off of the developer themselves, who is listening to, not just their current residents from other facilities, but their history with building and running these types of environments. Other than that, he is sure they will develop additional open space and non-paved areas as this plan gets further developed. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Anderson stated the issue tonight is the recreation plan and the Planning Commission deals with the rest, that includes whether or not the Committee accepts the cash-in-lieu or refers it back to Staff with instructions on developing another alternative. Mr. Caldwell expressed his concerns that they not go overboard with recreational activities, because they can have so much going on and more activity than they really want to have out there. He noted that they have the public starting to live in these facilities, it could be a little more than they want to deal with for the City. Mr. Anderson asked which other developments of this type had the developer done in the area in Delaware and what prompted the sudden change over to making it an apartment. Responding, Mr. Street stated this is more driven by the end user and the end tenant, at least for the 20,000 square foot building. He noted that it started about three years ago. They had a plan in place then and as they have switched tenants and gotten new tenants, the plan has kind of tweaked and changed as they get new tenants and are signing long-term leases. Mr. Bill Krapf, Capano Management Inc., stated they originally had a larger grocer that they were working with and that fell through, then they developed a relationship with the State Police. He noted they got them and they have another State agency going in there and they thought this would lend itself to a mixed use development. Mr. Krapf stated they are the developer and manager of over 5,000 residential units through about 20 different communities, most of them are in the State of Delaware, most are in New Castle County, a few in Sussex County and two communities in Florida. He noted they are developing a community in Camden, Delaware right now. Mr. Anderson asked when it comes to communities designed like this, with very little natural recreation that is mainly in a commercial office area, have they had any feedback with this similar design, but with the internal recreation as this community has. Mr. Krapf stated as far as communities that they have developed like this, no. He stated they do have a community of one building, 68 units, on the Christina River in Wilmington, it is in a commercial district and has an internal community space that is very similar to what they are proposing here. He noted that they are full and have a waiting list.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 13 Col. Dix noted that this would be the first apartment complex in the Dover area that has no grass. Mr. Street stated that there is grass proposed for the project. There are a lot of trees planted on the project as well, but there is grass. Mr. Street stated everything surrounding the building itself, with the exception of the sidewalks and the access to the building itself, is grass. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the active recreation area plan with the comments and conditions provided and acceptance of the $98,387.52 cash-in-lieu of recreation area construction donation, as the amount complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Consideration of Request to Delaware Congressional Delegation Regarding Disposition of Wetland Pond Adjacent to Pat Lynn Drive at the Site of the Proposed New Middle Schools Mr. Sudler reviewed the background information regarding the consideration of the request to Delaware Congressional Delegation regarding the disposition of the wetland pond adjacent to Pat Lynn Drive at the site of the proposed new middle schools. Mr. Sudler stated their constituents in the Fourth District at Woodcrest have asked them to put something together as a last effort to get approval to get that area back-filled in. Due to recent discussion with the Capitol School board members, some of the constituents, and Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, they have come up with a formal draft letter to send to the United States senior and junior Senators and the At-Large Congressperson. Mr. Sudler stated he welcomed feedback and additional information, if needed, to be added to the letter. He stated they plan on sending the letter by the end of the month, if approved and has met the satisfaction of City Council and the Capitol School District, they are anticipating their approval because they have told them in previous meetings that they are in agreement with back-filling the area, the only holdup is federal approval. Mr. Sudler stated that it appears the Army Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over that area. Mr. Sudler stated that if they cannot gain approval or if it is not within federal jurisdiction, then at least they can get a letter of support from the U.S. Representatives stating they are in agreement to file for City records. He stated they are just trying to do due diligence and to make sure that there is a consensus among all parties to move forward and bring some relief to their constituents as soon as possible Mr. Anderson stated they have been working on it for a few years now and hopes they are finally getting to a place of resolution. He noted that they are moving forward with this in cooperation with the school board. He stated they have a

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 14 situation where there is an artificially created wetland which they believe has a deficiency and is creating safety problems, including sinkholes, property damage and creating safety hazards, expenses, and trees are starting to fall in. Mr. Anderson stated he was able to bring that to the attention of staffers in the United States Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee. He noted that the Army Corps of Engineers claimed that they had never heard the safety concerns before and asked that the letter highlighting the safety concerns, in particular, be sent back. He stated they have a good chance of one of two things. Number one will be mitigation and it is almost certain, because of these concerns, it will be allowed to move this wetland. Mr. Anderson stated if that application is put in place and another site is the design, because this one was done to move another wetland from another area and they moved it here, it should have been moved to the back of the property, but it was not. Mr. Anderson stated there is also the possibility, which is less of a possibility that they may allow it to be filled in. He is currently having a review of it. He stated that the application will have to be put in by the owner of the property, which is the school district either way, but the support of the City will be an outlining. Mr. Anderson stated that this is their opinion of what should happen, so therefore, whether it is mitigated or filled in will be somebody else's distinction, it does not hurt them to make the best case that they can. Mr. Gregory Moore, Becker Morgan representing Capital School District, stated they are doing the design of their new school and the wetland has been a big issue in the process. He stated that this is a federally protected wetland and Becker Morgan, along with the previous superintendent, had Mr. Michael Yost, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, out to walk the site and they discussed whether it was a wetland. Mr. Moore stated that Mr. Yost informed them that it was, then they had it evaluated by a wetland specialist who also stated that it is a protected wetland that meets the criteria of the Corps. Mr. Moore stated they had a meeting in Dover with Mr. Yost and the district and were told, in no uncertain terms, that they would not get a permit to fill the wetland because of its protection. Mr. Moore stated because of the plans they had on the site, Capital School District owns the property, but has no use for this area. He stated their buildings, parking, and fields are located in the back of the property, closer to where the old Dover High School was. He noted that they are removing all of the parking that is along the back of the neighbors in this area because they do not need the parking like Dover High School needed. He stated that the piece of property becomes unusable to them, even though they own it. Mr. Moore stated they do not take exception to this pond being filled. He noted they appreciate the neighbor’s complaints and concerns and have met with them many times. He stated that the problem is that it cannot be filled without the Corps’ approval. He stated they have in writing, a letter that was presented to them that they provided the Planning Commission and the City that says with the plan that they

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 15 have, it cannot be permitted. Mr. Moore stated they believe that unless the Federal Delegation intervenes and gives the approval to fill it, it is a waste of the Capital School District’s money to make an application to the Philadelphia district. Mr. Moore stated that at Becker Morgan, they want to be a good steward of the school districts’ money. Mr. Moore stated they support City Council making a notice on a letter to the Federal Delegation to see if they can do anything. He noted that the wetland was created in the early 2000s and there is nothing that is a part of the wetland system or any of the pipes that the school district uses at all. It drains Pat Lynn Drive and a portion of Walker Road as well as other portions of the City. He noted that it is really a community drainage system that drains another portion of the City and it does not offer any help to the new school. Mr. Moore noted that the district is aware that the neighbors are very vocal about their neighborhood and it is an old community. He stated, starting next week, they will be installing an opaque fence that will run the entire boundary of all of their properties. He stated they will be taking down the 45-year old metal fence and put up a vinyl fence so that folks have a good screening. He also stated they are going to be removing trees that people have complained about and are going to increase the maintenance. Mr. Moore stated they have hired an outside company to do that and will include spraying for bugs and fish in the pond to eat larvae for insects. He stated they will also be doing grass cutting in this area once a week before the school is actually built through an outside vendor. He noted once the school is built, they will have their team of landscapers and property folks that will be there on a weekly basis to make sure that the property stays as high category of property as it can. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding substituting another property for the wetland, Mr. Moore stated that they believe if the Corps were to permit filling this wetland, they would require another wetland twice this large, perhaps three times this large. He stated they do not believe it makes sense to relocate what has been a nuisance to the neighbors there to somewhere else on the property. Since the wetland has been built, there is now a new community on the other side of the high school, so moving it from one side to another is just going to move a nuisance. Mr. Moore noted they do not think that makes any sense to be on this property or to be on other school properties because of the nature of their use, kids and safety issues. He stated that the City actually has a better option, perhaps down by the St. Jones. He noted that the City owns the property down there, where the old treatment plant was or other properties. Mr. Anderson stated Mr. Moore liked the option of looking at City preserved property. He noted there would be a possibility of working to utilize that to relocate a wetland. Responding, Mr. Moore stated they believe it should not be on this site and would work with the City to talk about other options. Mr. Anderson stated he liked that option and that it was something that he would like to see come out of tonight’s meeting, a referral to the staff to discuss that particular issue.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 16 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Slavin cautioned against Staff to start looking into the issue, only because the decision on swapping lands for wetlands has to do with the scoring system rated on, not just acreage. He noted that it is an analysis that would be done by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the ecological value of the lands. Mr. Slavin stated they could end up doing a lot of work identifying areas that simply would not score out and they may want to initiate that conversation with them informally so that they do not get on the wrong foot when they start on that process. Ms. Linda Goodnight stated they understood the stormwater and asked about the area on the other side of the storm water drainage. Responding, Mr. Moore stated the neighbors believe that this pond actually serves Capital School District’s property or building, but it does not. He stated they do not have any use of the pond or system for the school. Ms. Goodnight stated she never felt it had anything to do with the school. Dr. Sylvia Henderson, Capital School District Interim Superintendent, stated she shared Mr. Moore’s remarks. Mr. Anderson stated he would have an addition in the header after Fourth District City Councilman to add, “and undersigned Councilmen,” because he hoped this would be approved and receive the signatures of everyone on City Council. Mr. Taylor thanked Capital School District for being good stewards and great neighbors. Mr. Neil stated that he would be moving this item forward as good faith for those residents in the area who basically have to put up with the problems that have occurred. He also thanked Mr. Moore and Capital School District for bringing forth the information. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend forwarding the letter to City Council for endorsement with proper signage and proofreading with Capital School District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Renaming of New Street Park to Bishop L.T. Blackshear Park Mr. Slavin provided background information regarding the renaming of New Street Park to Bishop L.T. Blackshear Park. Members of Council Committee of the Whole recalled Bishop Blackshear’s contributions to the community and relayed several of their personal experiences with him. Mr. Anderson requested that they place in the record any commendations or proclamations, if they had one at his funeral, added to the record. Mr. Lindell stated that as a City they need to do a better job telling their story. He suggested with any dedication of any park that they provide some historical context and the story of who these individuals were.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 17 Mr. Hare moved to recommend the renaming of New Street Park to Bishop L.T. Blackshear Park. The motion was seconded by acclamation, and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Bobby Wilson and the Wilmington Hope Commission Due to the absence of Mr. Bobby Wilson this item was deferred to the next Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Meeting. Summer Park Activities Update Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City Manager, and Ms. Carolyn Courtney, Administrative Assistant, Parks and Recreation Department, reviewed the Summer Park Activities Update. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Courtney stated they posted signs at the basketball court on Kirkwood Street. She stated they took down the actual rims and that is about all they could do. She stated she was not sure what happened on Kirkwood Street, but would check on it. Mr. Harline stated he spoke with Mr. Robin Eaton, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department. He noted that based on the new guidelines people are not supposed to play close defense, but there are guidelines by which they can be opened. Mr. Harline stated they have removed rims in other places because everything they did to try and prevent people from playing basketball, when it was completely banned, did not work. Mr. Anderson noted that there is a lot of positive research that outdoors is different than indoors which is why the Department of Public Health (DPH) has recommended that. He noted that they did contact tracing on tens of thousands of people and only counted one that had an outdoor contact. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding new guidelines issued by DPH, Mr. Harline stated they have been trying to follow the Governor’s guidelines and that they can review the guidelines on basketball. Mr. Harline stated that they actually had to do a more extensive protection back when the guidelines said that basketball could not be played, but they will review those and see if they can open up more basketball courts. Mr. Anderson stated it would be possible if it can be done safely. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Courtney stated that Ms. Sherwanda Rachel- Speaks, Recreation Program Specialist, spoke to Mr. Eaten about whether they can get the outdoor movies up. Ms. Courtney stated they are even looking at using the green and doing them there, possibly looking at a Tuesday evening. She stated that it is something that they are going to move forward on and get up and running hopefully in the next month.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 18 Mr. Neil moved to recommend acceptance of the Summer Park Activities Update, seconded by Col. Dix, and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Slavin moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Library Reopening Plan Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City Manager, and Ms. Patricia Crosby, Interim Library Director, reviewed the background information and analysis regarding the Library Reopening Plan. Staff recommended a soft reopening on Monday, July 27 with a full Grand Reopening on August 10. If the Committee is in agreement the Committee should direct staff to proceed. Option B would be to push the dates back by a week or two. Mr. Harline stated that due to information they received this week, they were now recommending a soft opening on August 3rd. He noted that the reason is that it would give them a chance to better coordinate with Sunstates Securities, their security detail under the State contract, because they schedule two weeks out, giving them another week from this meeting would help a lot. Mr. Harline stated they are also scheduling training with Advantech and it would be better that week because the main person for the training is on vacation. Ms. Crosby noted that the grand reopening would be later in the month of August the 17th or the 24th. She stated that Mr. Brian Sylvestor, Library Director, and Ms. Meegs Johnson, Assistant Library Director, will be starting on Monday July 20, 2020. Mr. Neil stated he received a complaint for someone who he presumed was either an employee or a volunteer at the library with concern. He noted that the information in the packet that was available to the public to look at was very complete and had no problem with that. He stated that even in that packet, it indicated that it is going to be a little bit flexible depending upon certain circumstances and that it has been pushed back. Mr. Neil stated he asked this individual to comment on it and let him know what they thought, but he has not heard back from that individual. Mr. Neil noted that he is anxious for the library to be open because he is a reader and looks forward to it and greeting the new folks that are coming in. Mr. Harline stated that their modified request would be to establish a Monday staff day and then have it open from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for the public, Tuesday through Saturday. Then have the building closed to the public from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., with curbside delivery and pickup available and they do some staff cleaning in there. Mr. Lindell stated they have asked their City employees to head back to work and to accept certain risks. He stated when he thinks about leadership, you lead from the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 27, 2020 PAGE 19 front and it seems like they are asking their employees to go back to work, but they are still having meetings online and not in person. Mr. Lindell stated they should not just dismiss employee issues when it comes to concerns about their safety and going back to work, even if they think it is premature to go back. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Crosby stated as of last Thursday, the County building is not physically open and they have been doing curbside. She noted that they have weekly director meetings for all of the libraries in the State of Delaware. Mr. Anderson noted that there are two small libraries currently open and they are proposing to open in August, not July. Ms. Crosby noted that the both of those small libraries are in Sussex County. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff’s revised recommendation with the understanding that it could change, depending on circumstances. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. During the Council meeting, Mr. Slavin expressed concerns that the recommendation from Staff came a number of weeks previous and there is now fluidity with the number of COVID-19 cases in Delaware and across the Eastern seaboard and there are delays and lapses in testing and getting results. He suggested delaying the opening until they were more certain about what they were doing so that they did not put public employees at risk and so they did not create another space where COVID could spread. Mr. Slavin recommended sending the recommendation to reopen the library back to the Committee for consideration in September. Mr. Anderson stated that he disagreed and felt that since businesses have been reopening the City should also be moving forward in a safe and sensible way. He stated that he felt the lack of reopening was hurting people, noting that there were people who did not have access to a computer and it was difficult for them to find jobs and apply for unemployment. Mr. Anderson noted that the library is the only major department that had not submitted a reopening plan and they spent a lot of money redoing and rearranging the facility, taking out furniture, putting up glass, and enhancing security. Mr. Slavin moved to refer the recommendation to reopen the library back to the Committee for consideration in September. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried with Mr. Anderson voting no. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

PROPOSED CANCELLATION OF AUGUST MEETINGS Council President Hare recommended the cancellation of the Regular Council meeting of Monday, August 10th and the Council Committee of the Whole meetings of Tuesday, August 11th and Tuesday, August 25th.

OUK VISION fDK VilAlllJ RESTORING CENTRAL DOVER IMPLEMENTATION PHASE II 2020 TO 2025

REFLECTION AND PURPOSE: The idea for Restoring Central Dover (RCD) was raised in 2012 by the CenDel Foundation’s Safety Committee. Wells Fargo Regional Foundation made a Planning Grant to NCALL and an 18-month planning process began in 2013. Interface Studio facilitated the effort to assess Central Dover, and work with the community to create a vision and a series of strategies. During the planning period, a Steering Committee was organized and NCALL applied to Wells Fargo Regional Foundation for a five-year Implementation Grant. A grant of $750,000 was awarded and the initial five-years will be completed in June of 2020. This planning document for Phase II of Restoring Central Dover, 2020 to 2025, was developed by the Steering Committee, residents, and NCALL. Key NCALL staff began by developing a draft of accomplishments and next step strategies at sessions held on June 25, July 7, and August 1, 2019. The Steering Committee - which includes residents - reviewed the draft and met on August 28, September 4, and September 18, 2019 to add strategies and make changes. Residents also reviewed the plan and provided input on September 30, 2019. Information gathered at a April 4, 2018 Steering Committee Planning Retreat led by Lamar Wilson was also incorporated. All stakeholders voiced their belief that Restoring Central Dover has been a resounding success, achieving the kinds of impacts hoped for. The initial 5-years have resulted in a solid and accomplished foundation on which to build, taking the vision and strategies further and deeper towards the goal of transformational change. It is with excitement, that this plan for Phase II is presented as a blueprint forward. PLANNING TEAM FOR PHASE II: NCALL: Karen Speakman, Executive Director; Patricia Kelleher, Real Estate Development Director; Will Grimes, Neighborhood Revitalization Coordinator; Chanda Jackson, Community Engagement Coordinator, Sierra Green, Americorps Vista.

OUR VISION FOR VITALITY ORIGINAL VISION AND GOAL AREAS: This plan represents our community’s vision for restoring the vitality of Central Dover. It offers a range of achievable strategies, implemented over a five-year period, designed to lay the foundation for future opportunities to fully realize Central Dover’s potential as a place to live, work, and play. 1. A STRONG COMMUNITY: Build community capital, increase public safety, engage youth in community, and expand adult and family services 2. POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT: Strengthen existing housing, support new development, reinvest in commercial corridors, and ensure equitable economic development 3. AN INTEGRATED PUBLIC REALM AND INFRASTRUCTURE: Improve transportation infrastructure, enhance open spaces and expand green infrastructure VISION AND GOAL AREAS FOR PHASE II: The Vision is what we want the culmination of the Restoring Central Dover effort to achieve. Discussion emphasized that the vision should include “sustainable” or “resilient” and should build on the foundation of the first 5 years. The Original Goal Area #3 (An Integrated Public Realm and Infrastructure) was felt to be difficult to explain and understand; Quality of Life was chosen as an appropriate substitute. New Vision for Phase II: A resilient and thriving Central Dover community that continues to shape its own future. -3-

Goal Areas for Phase II 1. A STRONG COMMUNITY: Build community capital, increase public PLAN safety, engage youth in community, AREA and expand adult and family services THE PLAN AREA 2. POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT: IS MADE UP OF Strengthen existing housing, support 75BLOCKS new housing development, reinvest WHICH IS in commercial corridors, build APPROXIMATELY community facilities, improve 393ACRES infrastructure, and advance economic and workforce IN SIZE development 3. QUALITY OF LIFE: Integrate the arts, improve health outcomes, offer recreation options, foster open and green space, and engage in public j policy -4-

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THOUGHTS HOUSING CONTEXT: Significant progress was made in reducing blighted, vacant properties and replacing them with new, affordable homes. The plan area’s initial 25% rate of homeownership (very low compared to 60+% rate in Dover and the State) caused this strategic reinvestment in Central Dover, while removing substandard conditions, which also positively impacts community safety. HOUSING RELATED ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH 2019 • Transformation through removal of blight, redevelopment of new housing, and preservation of existing homes. • Atria Planning LLC developed the Central Dover Revitalization Strategies Plan to guide housing development. • Eleven vacant, blighted properties acquired and demolished. • Eight homes built by NCALL, 20 by Central Delaware Habitat, two by Milford Housing, and eight by Mautiste. • Eight existing owner-occupied homes rehabilitated. • Several blocks transformed by demolishing blighted properties, building new homes and attracting new homeowners. • Homeownership counseling, financial education, resident training meetings, and landlord meetings were held. • Architect designed new homes that reflect local character and styles. • NCALL demonstrated that it could undertake sustained homeownership development. • $9.2 million leveraged through State’s Downtown Development District and Strong Neighborhood Housing Fund programs, and private foundations such as Longwood and Welfare. • 12 lots in inventory on which to build as we begin Phase II. • Central Delaware Housing Collaborative is purchasing/leasing houses as affordable, shared rental housing. • Small parcels are combined with adjacent ones and re-subdivided. • The City of Dover has improved code enforcement. -5-

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THOUGHTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT: Initially, Restoring Central Dover (RCD) recognized that the City of Dover’s Economic Development efforts were insufficient. While pieces of the puzzle existed, more structure and creativity were needed. Efforts brought together key people into an economic development work group which resulted in many creative ideas and strategies. Some listed below have been implemented by RCD and its partners. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH 2019 Launcher – Initiative helps potential entrepreneurs with business planning • Two series of classes have graduated 35 participants and more classes are scheduled. • Three businesses have opened in Central Dover and three outside the area. • Marketed to Central Dover residents, and has a good synergy with the Unlock the Block initiative. Unlock The Block – Phase 1 filled two vacant storefronts. • RCD has injected a high level of creativity and innovation into filling empty storefronts. This idea came from RCD’s Economic Development Work Group. • 2nd phase of Unlock The Block commenced in the fall of 2019. NCALL’s 7,600 SF Commercial Building on Division Street • $1 million raised to date for construction. UNLOCK • Economic and Workforce Development Hub where RCD staff will be THE BLOCK located. DOWNTOWN DOVER+ YOUR BUSINESS • Partnership with Delaware State University for business development. First Fridays • Partnership with DDP and D3. • Has grown to be year-round and are now including arts and music.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THOUGHTS SAFETY CONTEXT: Efforts to improve safety included strategic work with the City of Dover’s Police and Planning Departments, along with community advocacy, followed by positive investment to replace dilapidated conditions. Lights On Dover Strong was a successful effort that touched most in the community by lighting up Central Dover, and also being a source of hope and community building. SAFETY ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH 2019 • 350 Households served by Lights On Dover Strong with 700 lights on front/back of homes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THOUGHTS TRANSPORTATION/GREENSPACE/INFRASTRUCTURE CONTEXT: Connecting Central Dover through transportation, assuring adequate infrastructure exists to serve residents, and providing options for greenspace were all deemed important by the Restoring Central Dover plan. Progress was made in several of these areas and enhanced Central Dover as a place to live, bringing it more on par with the balance of Dover. TRANSPORTATION/GREENSPACE/INFRASTRUCTURE ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2019 • A community walk through with residents, City Departments, public works, and elected officials was held in the Lincoln Park portion of the plan area.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THOUGHTS THE ARTS CONTEXT: The union of the Arts community with Restoring Central Dover which grew out of the 2017 Arts Convening is already bearing significant fruit. The Arts will play an even greater role in Phase II with specific goals and projects, along with having its own work group forward. ARTS ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH 2019 • An Arts Convening held September, 2017 brought more than 50 artists/arts organizations and RCD representatives together to discuss Arts and Community Development. • One park mural was completed on Kirkwood Street by the community and Leadership Central Delaware.

THE IMPACT OF PARTNERS It is important to know that Restoring Central Dover is a unique and successful collaborative effort that engages numerous and important partners in its work.

When possible, findings will be published and successful strategies shared with peers through various networks, in order to advance the overall community development industry. -24-

Meeting between partners committed to transforming Downtown Dover July 30, 2020 Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity and NCALL’s Housing Development Plans for South New and Queen Streets: NCALL and Habitat have developed a successful partnership to build single family homes in Central Dover with the goal of increasing the overall rate of homeownership, and reducing the number of vacant lots and boarded up buildings in the area. Together we have secured three rounds of Strong Neighborhoods Housing Funds from Delaware State Housing Authority totaling $2,428,175 with a fourth application in the amount of $800,000 pending. NCALL recently received a second implementation grant for Restoring Central Dover from the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation for $500,000, and both agencies are adept at raising other funds to make their projects feasible. Since the Restoring Central Dover Plan was implemented in 2015, 40 new homes have been built and approximately $19 million has been leveraged for the community. NCALL will begin construction on four houses in September: 35 and 39 N. New and 16 and 18 S. Queen. By year end, Habitat will build four houses on S. Queen: 117, 67, 127 and 133. With the support of several City departments, including the Dover Police, Planning, Public Works and the Mayor and City Council, we are together transforming whole blocks. To give an example, the block of North New Street between Division and Fulton is now more than 70% owner occupied, but just a couple of years ago it was a run down and dangerous area. We need to come together to effect the same change on the block of S. New below Reed and S. Queen Street below Division. If you drive up N. New now, you will see children’s’ toys on the lawns, flowers, flags and Dover Strong signs in the front years. This could be S. New rather than the current dangerous, violent and crime ridden no go area it is. In order for new homeowners to be engaged in the community and be contributing residents, they need to feel safe without fear of gunfire or crime. With the City’s support there could be children playing on the block, neighbors gathering on each other’s porches, and residents walking to the shops on Loockerman Street. Trash will not be strewn everywhere, including drug paraphernalia, and events can be held in public places. Supports We Need to Make this Happen: Dover Police Department • Deployment of Foot Patrol Officers to the community • Extended camera coverage • Enforce Loitering and Trespassing ordinance City of Dover • Increase the street lighting in the Downtown and surrounding community • Aggressive code enforcement on blighted and dilapidated properties commercial and residential What are the City’s plans for Community and Economic Development in Central Dover and how can we assist those efforts? 2

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 2 Presentation - 15 Initiatives for Criminal Justice Reforms (Attorney General Kathy Jennings) Mr. Taylor disclosed that he heard this presentation during the Racial Equality and Social Justice Collaborative meeting two weeks ago. Attorney General Kathy Jennings provided a verbal presentation of 15 Initiatives for Criminal Justice Reforms. Attorney General Jennings provided the following information regarding changes they have made internally: • They believe it is vitally important for their prosecutors to divert as many people as they can safely into treatment and away from prison. • They have been working with law enforcement agencies throughout the State to provide assistance with law enforcement assisted diversion programs that at times divert someone from even having an arrest when they can be sent for treatment and they are willing to do so, or when the cause of their conduct is mental illness that can be treated safely. • They have, as a matter of policy in their office, de-emphasized low-level drug crimes that have long been an entry point in the system for nonviolent offenders to go into prison, disproportionately impacting black people. • They are no longer seeking warrants because someone is unable to pay a fine or a fee. • They have dramatically reduced the number of times a prosecutor seeks habitual offender status for nonviolent crimes and those have been reduced by 90% in the first year of her administration. Attorney General Jennings stated that more work is necessary for all of them to have faith in the fairness of their justice system. She stated even though they were able to pass tremendous legislation the past session, including expungements of criminal records that enabled people who had criminal records to get jobs. She was happy to say that law passed in the Senate unanimously and in the House almost unanimously. It was a jobs bill and it is already working to enable people to expunge minor records so that they can get a job and support their families. Attorney General Jennings stated that they have also worked on the sentencing system, which has not been changed since 1991. They need a sentencing system that relies on real data that looks at the racial impact of sentences in the state and the disparities that does not ignore race, but is conscious of the effects of race in the criminal justice system. Attorney General Jennings stated that they are fighting to reform policing in Delaware, and that it is not a pro-police or anti-police issue. She noted that it is important to them to make sure that they are reforming a system to build community trust between police, law enforcement, and the people that they serve. Attorney General Jennings stated they have proposed, in collaboration with many police chiefs and community members that they have talked to over the past several months, a series of reforms that frankly, they just make common sense. They have investigated what other jurisdictions have done and how those reforms are working elsewhere. She stated that they believe that they need the following done in Delaware:

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 3 • A stronger use of force standard in Delaware. The use of force standard by law is entirely subjective and there is not an objective overlay. They have proposed that it be an objective reasonableness test, the way it is in so many other jurisdictions in our country. • They believe there should be a law in Delaware that makes it criminal to violate someone's civil rights under federal law. • They also believe that disciplinary proceedings should be more transparent and more publicly available. • Mandatory, universal, use of body-worn cameras. It is so helpful because it shows the good work that a police officer does when that officer is engaged with a citizen and it also shows the behavior of the citizen. It makes everybody aware that they have to behave professionally at all times and it creates a transparent, reviewable record of what actually happened. They are looking for ways to get funding from their congressional delegation and working in partnership with them to see if they can get body-worn cameras on every police officer in this state. • Banning knee holds and choke holds has been done by the Legislature. • Mandatory participation in the currently voluntary do-not-hire list. There is a national database that agencies can look at to see if an officer should not be hired by another jurisdiction. Attorney General Jennings commended Governor John Carney who, through an executive order, affected a lot of the progress, including a ban on choke holds, prohibiting the release of juvenile mug shots, participation in a national use-of-force database, and implementation of better training. She stated that these are really important steps the Governor has taken, but they need to make them permanent and an executive order is not permanent. Attorney General Jennings stated that they are very hopeful that the legislature and others will work with them to make these things happen. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Attorney General Jennings stated that body cameras were high on the priority list. She stated that some of the changes are legislative and they have their own priorities, but she thought body-worn cameras were pretty much number one. Mr. Sudler asked what the estimated cost would be for the City of Dover’s population and size to sustain the program, not to get the mechanisms. He stated he heard that the body camera mechanisms are not that expensive, but to sustain the database program and to install it was. Responding, Attorney General Jennings stated that the Council of Police Chiefs, of which Chief Johnson is a member, are doing a survey and are working with them to get a dollar figure for body-worn cameras in all police departments, to have the necessary storage, and the necessary resources to staff it. She noted what they found at New Castle County Police that it was the storage of the data that cost the most money. She stated they have two officers who are devoted to handling that data because it has to be transferred to the Attorney General's office, witnesses have to be de-identified under law, and victims certainly have to be de-identified. She stated that it is a laborious process that requires additional staffing and that they will share that as soon as they have those dollar figures finalized.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 4 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Attorney General Jennings stated they are currently pursuing information on federal and other grants on such devices. She noted that they are they are working with the congressional delegation, Representative Lisa Blunt-Rochester, Senator Chris Coons, and Senator Tom Carper, to see if there is federal money available specifically to fill the void right now. She stated that one of the ways that they can build public trust is to disclose the footage when it would further the cause of justice to do so because part of what she has seen is that when the public does not know what happened they think the worst. Attorney General Jennings stated that it is really important when they write their reports, after they examine the use of force by police, most importantly in a shooting, that they disclose the body-worn cameras and other footage that will show actually what happened, so they intend to start doing that as well. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Attorney General Jennings stated if it does not result in a criminal case there are varying sort of time periods and record retention requirements in the state. She stated if it does not result in a criminal case, then frankly, it does not need to be stored unless the police department needs it for training purposes or for other reasons. Attorney General Jennings stated when it results in a criminal case, even if it is a misdemeanor, it has to be stored at least until the statute of limitations is over or all appeals are exhausted. She stated they have worked that out with other police agencies and that work could be replicated. Mr. Anderson, regarding a Civilian Review Board statewide, asked if there were any examples where it has been a value added and if it has worked anywhere, instead of creating another layer of bureaucracy. Responding, Attorney General Jennings stated that they do not want another layer of bureaucracy. She stated that it has worked and she can get two examples from other jurisdictions where it does work. Attorney General Jennings noted that it works most especially when the civilians are trained, have a good sense of the role of the police officer and the reality of the job, and when there is true oversight. Mr. Shelton asked who develops the policy for body-worn cameras and if that was something done through the Attorney General's office or if that was in each individual jurisdiction. Responding, Attorney General Jennings stated they have spent a year developing a statewide body-worn camera policy in conjunction with the Police Chiefs Council. She stated they do have a statewide body-worn camera policy and that there are certain things they have been able to do on a statewide basis. Attorney General Jennings stated that does not preclude a police agency from having a different policy because the state Police Chiefs Council adopts a policy, it is not required to be followed, unless it is part of the state law. Presentation - Racial Equality and Social Justice Collaborative Ms. Michelle Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer, United Way of Delaware, reviewed the presentation titled, "The Racial Equity & Social Justice Collaborative," located in the packet. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Ms. Taylor stated there were a couple of actions she would like to see the City Council take that would support the initiatives of the program. She stated one was partnering with the collaborative and supporting the efforts overall. She noted that means whatever place and space that they have the most passion about or that connects more to the agenda that they are trying to be able to achieve. Ms. Taylor stated that two, for consideration, there is an opportunity for them to partner around the equity challenge that is coming up and helping to promote it. She stated to partner just means that they are agreeing to promote it, they have to participate individually, as they do the work, but that they also want to partner with them. She stated that there is an opportunity for them to be able to leverage the leaders that are a part of this initiative and the work to mutually try to achieve some of the goals that they are seeking to do.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 5 Ms. Taylor stated that this is not a one-way agenda, they want to be able to build a stronger, greater, Dover community. She noted that Council members have intel and some grassroots information and so making sure that they are staying in step and that they are communicating and that they could set, maybe even some shared aspirations together, would be what they would like to achieve. Mr. Anderson asked where the economic empowerment sits in this. Responding, Ms. Taylor stated one of their subcommittees is under wealth creation. She stated that under wealth creation, it is the whole issue of workforce, livable wage, financial empowerment, affordable housing. Ms. Taylor noted that right now their biggest concern is once the eviction moratoriums will be lifted and that group is concerned about the impact that might have on people in the community and disproportionately on a specific group of people across the state. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Taylor stated that the displacement would affect public safety and issues of crime pretty significantly. She noted that she is on a statewide panel where they are projecting that a little more than 30,000 people could be impacted by evictions. She stated they are saying it would not be that many because the court system is not structured to take all of them, but there is a significant amount and they have identified those that are behind in their rent. Ms. Taylor stated it impacts both safety and the family structure as a whole. She noted that they think about stabilizing kids, all of those things they are identifying are directly or indirectly impacted by families being disruptive in housing and the impact that it will have on homelessness within communities as well. Presentation - Dover Downs NASCAR Event - Plans for Staging with or without Fans The presenter requested that this item be deferred. Update on Body Cameras Chief Johnson, Dover Police Department, provided an update on body cameras. He stated they were working to freshen up the dollars and cents estimates as to what a body-worn camera program would like if they had to fund it locally. Chief Johnson noted the following information: 1. He was able to get some information from the vendor that they use now for their in-car cameras. The last time they looked at them, their technology had a lot of challenges in performance that even though they were the vendor for in-car cameras, there was not a whole lot of quality points that they needed as a vendor. 2. They are still waiting for Axon to get back to them. They are a very popular brand that is used across the nation. He suspects they are in high demand right now to turn around information on these things, considering conditions nationally. 3. Motorola was another vendor that they had not considered before, but the team brought in to give look last week and they got their numbers midday today. Chief Johnson stated, depending on the vendor, how they structure their fee schedule, and what services they choose, the price tag is going to be somewhere between $300,000 and $400,000 over an initial roll-in program period, which is probably between three and five years. He noted that this clearly could be a little bit different depending on which side best fits their needs. The bigger costs has to do with devices, hardware, and storage considerations, but there is also a staffing piece.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 6 Chief Johnson stated he felt 1.5 full-time employees should be dedicated to the program and then another individual to do other things for them, whether they combine a position or they create a part-time position to cover for the individual that is full-time when they are off or when volume demand is high for video files. He noted that the Human Resources aspect was going to be just as expensive going forward as the devices and the hardware. Mayor Christiansen stated that he wished Council would endorse them moving forward and looking at an independent venture and they can iron out the details at a later date, but they also look to the state to see if they can facilitate them, not just them, but every department across the state. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend that Mayor Christiansen, in conjunction with Chief Johnson, to negotiate the best deal immediately in 2020 with vendors to be reviewed by City Council regarding the body cameras. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Lindell suggested that they draft a letter of support as Council and send it to their elected delegation at the state level to start putting some pressure on the state officials to deliver on what some of these officials have promised that they are going to do and then proceed from there. Mayor Christiansen stated he agreed with Mr. Lindell, but thought that they need to act on Mr. Sudler's motion because it shows in good faith that the Mayor and Council, and Chief of Police are committed into looking into have a plan in place just in case folks that made promises in the middle of the storm do not forget them in calm water. Mayor Christiansen stated they do not have to commit any money and they need to follow through on Mr. Lindell's suggestion that they see out their local legislators and ask them to force the powers that be to act on the promises that they made on the East side of Legislative Hall. Mr. Lindell stated they could go this route, but asked what happens once they get the data back. He asked if they are still going to be in the same position and are they going to spend the money at that time, while they are working with the state to try to get funding such as well as. Mr. Lindell expressed his concerns, due to item #3 - Review and Approval of Federal COPS Grant on the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee. Mr. Anderson stated he agreed that they need to send a letter or do a resolution of support and request that the state and, he would add their federal delegation, worked in not only provide grant money, but if they move forward, it is going to be phased in over several years. Mr. Anderson stated that Mayor Christiansen's proposal is correct that they should agree to move forward as Mr. Sudler's motion stated so that they can get all the information they need. They are not going to spend money right away, with that in order to even apply for the grants, they have to have the information. Mr. Anderson noted that if the state and federal monies do not look like they are coming, they cannot wait on them. Responding to Mr. Wagner, Chief Johnson stated he was not sure if the programs were available on a lease basis. Chief Johnson stated one of the programs talks about replacement devices as technology upgrades, which kind of is like a lease as long as you are paying for the licensing and the software agreements, and you buy the updates and things of that nature. He stated that other proposals do not specifically discuss that and that the hard part about leasing body worn cameras is they are out in the field and their price per unit is relatively inexpensive. Chief Johnson noted that it is not typically the kind of asset that would fit neatly into

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 7 a leasing program because of its service life, but he will look for that specifically and see if he can get a better answer. Mr. Wagner stated the lifespan of that camera could be covered in a lease contract, but you have software changes, you have to deal with what it looks like to him is they buy it, they are going to deliver to their door and it is the responsibility of the department and City to maintain it. Mr. Sudler stated the motion does not commit them to making a decision as soon as they bring back a proposal, as was stated earlier, they may decide that none of that works at that time, but at least they will have something in front of them, some raw data that they can show their constituents and also that they can review as a whole. Chief Johnson noted that the proposal that they actually made last month when he spoke to Mayor Christiansen and Mr. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, that it was for civilian staff to manage this program, it was not going to be a police officer position, but he did ask that the position be rated and built around the idea of someone that has law enforcement sophistication in their background. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend that Mayor Christiansen, in conjunction with Chief Johnson, to negotiate the best deal immediately in 2020 with vendors to be reviewed by City Council regarding the body cameras. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:47 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Discussion - New Property Value Notifications Mr. Lindell stated they had a citizen concern regarding the issue of new property value notifications. Mr. Taylor stated that recently, property value notifications were issued, he believed in January and there was a pocket in South Dover that did not receive those notifications. He stated his neighbor brought it to his attention. Mr. David Lees, 1014 Westview Terrace, expressed his concerns regarding not having received the notification of property assessment changes and the lack of uniformity to the property assessment increases. Mr. Lees suggested that there needs to be some kind of way to prevent these ridiculously high increases in assessments that are out of touch with cost of living for that same time period. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Cheryl Bundek, Tax Assessor, stated that other than Mr. Lees, they did not have any other complaints. She noted that the letters are generated by owner names and done to save on

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 8 postage so they can combine multiple properties if an owner owns more than one, so they are not done by street order. Ms. Bundek stated the problem is not with the City at that point, but believed that it would probably be a postal carrier issue, because they did not print them in that order. She noted that to have a whole street of Westview Terrace not get their notification, the only way that could happen is if she went back through and put them all back into a street order. Responding to Mr. Lees' concern about mortgage companies receiving the notification, Ms. Bundek stated that was not correct, they only go to property owners and they mailed them out in February. The notification was done on the Council agenda of January 27th, there was a PowerPoint presentation given by Tyler Technologies, and that is when they said that the property notifications would be going out within a couple of weeks. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding a possible solution, Ms. Bundek stated that due to what the procedures and the policies are with the assessment office after April 30th, they are not able to appeal until the following year. She stated that she believed that was in place because of budget concerns on what could happen if an appeal is granted at the board level, so that would be up to Council on whether or not they would want to allow appeals to happen. Ms. Bundek suggested, because getting the board together is hard enough once a year, is maybe to allow those people who did not receive their bill to actually appeal next April and have it go retro, that is up to the board. She stated if they put that in their motion, that they would like anything to be retroactive to the previous year, that would be up to the board. That is not up to the City of Dover Assessor's Office. Responding to Ms. Innus Parker's regarding long-term disability and reductions for disability on City taxes to receive social security, Ms. Bundek stated disability was done through an ad hock committee years ago and they started the disability exemption or reduction. She stated did not remember exactly why, but believed it was because if they were not Social Security Disability, that they were not able to work, therefore that would give them a reduction because with the senior citizen reduction as well, they give a reduction based on income. Ms. Bundek stated they do not do that with disability. It is if a person is disabled with the Social Security Administration, it does not matter what their income, they automatically get it. They have to send a letter in every year from Social Security, that is something that was done through an ad hoc committee of Council. Mr. Hare suggested bringing it back in September to discuss it and maybe put it in something where they can appeal it in the next round. He noted that if they win their appeal then it is retroactive. Mr. Neil stated if the City has not contacted the postal authorities, they should, to at least make them aware that there was a problem. Proposed Extension of Lodging Tax Deadline Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, stated the lodging tax was passed a year ago, and was not sure if hoteliers had forgotten, but they did not seem to be prepared for it when the notices went out last week or so. She noted that she heard from one of them and they asked if they could get an extension and noted that they would not be able to go back and collect on people that had used the hotel from the beginning of July up to the time he would have gotten the notice, or get his systems implemented in order to handle this. Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, stated she did receive an email from a hotelier that manages four different ones within the City of Dover. She noted the hotelier stated she did imply that it took some time to get it set up with her franchise office, but she did take the proper steps to do that prior to the July one

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 9 deadline or implementation date. Ms. Peddicord stated the hotelier made reference that it is not something that is easily turned on and turned off. Ms. Peddicord noted that she would be a little leery to say or to suggest having some of them send it and have other ones get an extension. Mr. Neil moved to recommend collecting the lodging tax as scheduled without penalties if not paid by September 1st. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Review and Approval of Federal COPS Grant Chief Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Federal COPS Grant. Responding to Committee members' questions regarding the Federal COPS Grant, Chief Johnson provided the following information: • They have to pick five individuals and they actually have to have names on the grant compliance paperwork of who they hired so the federal authorities can audit their experience from onboarding through to completing their fourth year. Once they get to the end of the four years, the options open up again, that if there is dissatisfaction, they can make change. • The federal government does not offer grant funding to supplant existing positions. They offer grant funding to help expand the authorized strength of the agency, whether it is policing, fire service or what have you, under the umbrella of public safety grants in the federal system. • If they were audited, they would have to demonstrate the real numbers of online employees that they had and how many open positions that they had, and it is in publication that they have an authorized strength of 101. They would have to go and do the additional positions over 101. They would not be able to tap into this grant program to subsidize any of the eight individuals he hopes to identify over the next four to seven weeks for either the fall or the March Academy classes. • They have four lieutenants on the force and are authorized 101 sworn officers. They have eight vacancies, which takes them back to 93 and four tired individuals all in various stages of either Academy or on boarding right now. • He did not think anybody was eligible for a competitive rank until, very least, their eighth year. • Regarding diversity, they have had active conversation over the last two - three months also regarding their efforts at recruiting, which is why they are trying to get farther out, also in reference to persons of colors and minority representation on the senior staff, while it was not a primary reason why they moved to make the third captaincy and backfill the Lieutenant and Sergeants positions behind that was to expand the opportunity for any number of the current officers that they have that represent minority communities at the rank of Master Corporal and Sergeant, which are on the threshold of making Lieutenant. It is a competitive process. He is trying to create a pathway where there is expanded opportunity to accelerate the process and getting more diverse representation at the higher ranks.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 10 • There is a myriad of factors that go into the selection of lieutenants and captains. That is not a testing process. That is a work performance and interview process and the buck stops with him. He is trying to create a pathway where there is expanded opportunity to accelerate the process that you described, getting more diverse representation at the higher ranks. I just have to do it in a way that I think I've alluded to before that has a legitimacy internally, as well as it does externally. • They have had less than three females on the force that have had a least eight years • The deadline for accepting is the second Friday in August. They have already applied for an extension for that acceptance window with the federal government, which he believes was granted. With COVID, there have been issues related to municipal administrations and governments being able to actually have meetings to consider the issue, so it is not an unusual request apparently this time around for an extension. I believe we were granted that extension through the end of August. So I believe we're going to be able to wait until the next scheduled meeting if needs be to get to the point of approval, but it wasn't a timeline I set. It's a federal standard. • He has more than eight finalists right now that are up to the point of the interview with the Chief in their selection process for the hiring cycle that we started back in April, May. We're advertising for that right now and we're searching for candidates for that for right now. • Without this grant, to achieve their goal with community policing that's going to probably require peeling resources away from other operational units to make sure that we have enough officers doing primary community policing work. • When looking at that dynamic of the ratio of officers to citizens, there are so many variables that make up the sense of a community. Then the police department that is charged with supporting safety and law enforcement, it comes down to when they see a community that it might have half the number of officers per citizen working for them. • Right now Dover is in a pretty good position where they are probably making great decisions, as long as they have the resources to keep them going. They are able to investigate the kinds of things that concerned folks, particularly the quality of life stuff, where they are able to follow through and provide services, but in departments where there is less officers per citizen, they probably do not see as much of that. • Through casual conversations, probably below 10% of the police department lives within City limits. • He understands the value of being officers living in the community, that does have a lot of upsides, the challenge typically is found in recruiting, usually not too difficult to get an officer on the younger side and who doesn't have a spouse to do a relocation and move into accept a position. • There is a small monetary incentive for living in Dover. Mr. Slavin stated he would not make a motion at this point and that he would simply have the item brought forward for the August 24, 2020 Regular Council meeting. He stated that they all kind of understood what the discussion was, and he was sure some of it will be repeated as they have more and better information,

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 28, 2020 PAGE 11 but he did not want to delay the process of bringing it forward to Council. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Slavin clarified that he was saying to bring it to Council without a recommendation. Mr. Slavin noted that they do not need a formal motion to not make a recommendation and that they can just close the Committee hearing and have it on the record. Mr. Lindell stated he had no issues brining the discussion to an end to continue that at the next City Council meeting. Proposed Ordinance #2020-10 - Chapter 34 - Elections Mr. Lindell reviewed the background information of proposed ordinance #2020-10 - Chapter 34 - Elections. Staff recommended adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2020-10. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2020-10, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 10:02 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

In general, Billed Consumption should be less than Total Water Production due to system water losses (fire hydrant use, breaks, etc.). 2. In general, Billed Discharge will be less than Total Flow to County due to system inflow & infiltration occurrences. 3. Total Water Production and Total Flow to County directly match readings taken from the 1st of the month to the end of the month for the month reported. Due to meter reading routes, readings are made throughout the month and billed within 3 days. As such, Billed Consumption and Billed Discharge components can be up to 30 days behind Total Water Production and Total Flow to County readings. 4. Dec 19 and Mar 20 Total Flow to County is higher than Total Water Production due to #2 above (higher than average rainfall during these months). 5. Nov 19, Jan 20 and Apr 20 Total Flow to County is lower than average Total Flow to County due to lower than average rainfall during this month in conjunction with #3 above. 6.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Committee of the Whole (Utility) AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Electric DATE SUBMITTED: 08/14/2020 PREPARED BY: Paul Waddell, Engineering Services & System Operations Superintendent SUBJECT: Evaluation of Proposals – Garrison Oak Business & Technology Park Substation Design/Engineering REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: EE2016 APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller EXHIBITS: N/A EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Not to exceed $750,000 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $750,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept/Page in CIP & Budget): Funding is provided under Project EE2016, Electric Department, page 150 in FY21 Budget TIMETABLE: Contract to be executed within two (2) weeks of Council Approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding a contract with to Aubrey Silvey Enterprises, Inc. as per the proposals submitted in response to RFP #20-0028EL BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Garrison Oak Business & Technology Park has the potential to consume a large amount of energy as more tenants occupy the site. Currently the Park is fed using a 12.47 kV feed (Circuit 502) from Horsepond Substation and when the existing load is accounted for there is only approximately 2 megawatts of free capacity on the circuit. The construction of a new substation on lot 14 in the Park will allow for both 69 kV and 12.47 kV service extensions to new tenants. It will also incorporate a ring bus design to offer protection and redundancy to the park in the event of an anomaly. The first step of the process will be to complete a feasibility study of the proposed location to ensure the substation can be built there. Other steps will be the development of a preliminary design and cost, final design and bid packets with engineering costs, construction site management and final close of construction, contract management and final print submission. The team reviewed the four (4) submission based on the four areas of evaluation: Personnel Expertise & Qualifications, Firm Experience, Personnel & Equipment Rates and Governmental Experience. The submitters were Aubrey Silvey, Sargent & Lundy, Pike Engineering and Power Consulting Engineering (PCE). It is the recommendation of the evaluators that the bid be awarded to Aubrey Silvey, who happens to be the lowest bidder. Even though the City has done a lot of business with Pike Engineering, the cost savings and positive feedback from past Silvey clients about their work were the deciding factors. Evaluation Results: Bidder Name Additional Factors Total Cost Add $113,300 for Commissioning; No price $697,100.00 Sargent & Lundy * escalation year 2, 3% in year 3; ($676,187 with vendor pref) Subcontractor mark up 5% Aubrey Silvey Price escalation is 3% for year 2 & 3 $466,701.73 Price escalation is 1.5% for year 2 & 3; Pike Engineering $520,176.77 Experience with City since 2006 No price escalation; Worked with City on Power Consulting Engineering (PCE) $555,955.00 Gen Scott Switchgear *Sargent & Lundy claimed local vendor preference (3%) I Page 1 of 1
