Item #2. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING The Regular City Council Meeting was held on June 9, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. with Council President Neil presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Ms. Hall, Ms. Arndt, Dr. Sudler, Mr. Rocha, and Mr. Lewis. Dr. Pillsbury and Mr. Boggerty were absent. Staff members present were Police Chief Johnson, Ms. Marney, Mr. Hugg, Ms. Melson- Williams, Deputy Chief Bashista, Mr. Rodriguez, and Ms. Bennett. Mayor Christiansen was also present. OPEN FORUM The Open Forum was held at 6:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Neil declared the Open Forum in session and reminded those present that Council was not in official session and could not take formal action. William Faust, 136 Orchard Avenue, addressed members of council with questions and comments. He requested clarification on the city charter, stating that his interpretations suggested council members received raises with each fiscal budget. If this were accurate, he recommended halting those raises due to rising fiscal costs. He referenced a newspaper article about insurance companies providing funds to volunteers and inquired whether hiring paid staff would affect that funding. He noted potential savings since the proposed firefighters were already trained, citing Chief Carey’s estimate of approximately $150,000 for training, equipment, and related costs, which he believes would be lower in the first year if hiring pre-trained personnel. Mr. Faust expressed frustration about budget decisions being made without certainty regarding state and federal funding. He questioned how a motion to hire two (2) firefighters, along with the associated costs, such as benefits, pensions, etc., could be proposed before the budget was finalized. He emphasized affordability concerns, mentioning struggling residents, rising utility costs, such as electric, water, and wastewater rates, and suggested that if new expenses were added, cuts should be made elsewhere, or additional revenue should be sought from large corporations. He noted that they have lost funds from events such as NASCAR and Firefly and questioned how the city plans to generate additional revenue. He emphasized that, as a taxpayer, he wanted his tax dollars to be used responsibly. He requested that, if his questions cannot be addressed during the meeting, they be placed on the agenda for discussion at the next Regular Council Meeting. Vonderlear Smack, 1001 White Oak Road, Apartment #F12, read her statement into the record expressing concerns regarding the rising costs associated with the fiscal budget. (Exhibit #1) INVOCATION The invocation was given by Mayor Robin R. Christiansen. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Council President Neil. Page 19

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 2 ADOPTION OF AGENDA Dr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha, and unanimously carried (Pillsbury and Boggerty absent). ADOPTION OF CONSENT AGENDA All Consent Agenda items are considered routine and non-controversial and will be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the Council. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of Council requests, in which event the matter shall be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered a separate item. Mr. Rocha moved for adoption of the consent agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and carried by a roll call vote, six (6) yes (Hall, Anderson, Arndt, Rocha, Sudler, Neil), one (1) no (Lewis), two (2) absent (Pillsbury and Boggerty). PRESENTATION – CAPITAL SCHOOL DISTRICT UPDATE (SEAN P.M. CHRISTIANSEN, VICE PRESIDENT, CAPITAL SCHOOL BOARD) Mr. Sean P.M. Christiansen, Vice President, Capital School Board, reviewed the Capital School District Update. After the presentation, Dr. Sudler, speaking on behalf of the Sudler-Mishoe family, expressed pride in the Capital School District, noting that both he and his parents attended Dover High School. He thanked him and the school board, as well as the fire department, for their hard work. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Christiansen stated that the Capital School District is at a turning point and continues to grow. He invited council members to visit any of the buildings, noting that the doors are always open. He also highlighted that the Superintendent, Dr. Victoir T. Cahoon, and the Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Toriano Giddens, are bringing new ideas and moving the district forward. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Christiansen stated that the fire department had regularly participated in career days until about 12 months ago. He noted that the high school provided tables with information and designated days for the fire department’s involvement. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Gene Montano, Director of Secondary Education, explained that fire company recruitment typically involves coordination with school guidance counselors, where recruiters can set up informational tables and provide materials and sign-up information. Similar to military recruitment, the Dover Fire Department is welcome to participate by contacting the counselor or principal. He also mentioned that recruitment opportunities are available at both the middle and high school levels, especially with the addition of programs that help students earn their Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and firefighter certifications. The idea is that they want the students to be able to give back to the community. He stated that those certifications not only serve the community by preparing students to become volunteer firefighters and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers but also offer career pathways where students can eventually earn substantial salaries after further training. He noted that it was part of the school’s broader effort to promote college and career readiness through Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Page 20

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 3 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Montano explained that one (1) of the pathways for Level Two (2) students to become members or volunteers within the local fire department is designed to help them build the necessary experience for attending summer training, give back to the community, and offset some of the costs related to equipment and other expenses. He noted that they would provide transportation and meals for the students to get the training and provide the equipment through the volunteering and application process with the local fire departments. He also noted that it does not have to be with Dover, but it could be with Camden-Wyoming or other locations. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Christiansen stated that the current instructor, Mr. Jason Roswell, has encouraged all of the students to join their local fire departments during the summer. As they come back to school, those students would have more interest in the fire department. Citing Mr. Montano, he stated that the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program and school choice would allow students from Bethany Beach to attend Dover High School for the program, because there is no other program like it in the state. He noted that they have attempted a program in New Castle County with the New Castle County Emergency Service Program, but it only lasted for two (2) years and then failed. He emphasized that they would not let that happen in Capital School District. He also mentioned that the Milford School District is on the verge of implementing Emergency Medical Service (EMS) programs, but there has been no discussion of fire, although the Delaware State Fire School is in the backyard at Dover High School. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Montano stated that the key aspect when they first started the program was to model it after the approach was implemented in Maryland. There was some pushback from the state regarding how they wanted to structure the program. He noted that they adopted a state model but also incorporated Firefighter I and Firefighter II certifications to provide students more opportunities to be career-ready upon graduation. He emphasized that the state believed students should have greater chances to secure jobs and begin their careers after finishing school. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Christiansen explained that they were at the end of their first year. He further explained that the program began with the Department of Education’s approval, driven by a curriculum scheduled for implementation by Fall 2024. They started with 86 students, retaining approximately 54, who will now advance to their second year as a new freshman class starts. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Montano stated that next year they would have at least two (2) more classes, and he expects at least 100 students in the pathway. The pathway is projected to have approximately 60 students for whom he has purchased 60 books, complete with digital access and resources. With 458 eighth graders advancing, some will be entering the program, and at least 50 additional students are expected to join at the ninth-grade level. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Montano clarified that results from the program are expected sometime this summer, though more likely within a year. He noted that the results will primarily focus on the students who are joining their volunteer fire departments. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Montano stated that the key process was ensuring open Page 21

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 4 communication and collaboration among everyone. He noted that they have partnerships with the Ambulnz as well as the Delaware State Fire School. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Christiansen explained that videos were key to engaging students. He emphasized that students are visual learners who prefer watching videos over listening to lectures. The strategy was to create an easily accessible video, delivered via email and set as the default view when students opened their laptops. It would also include a QR code to guide them to the next step. Mr. Lewis thanked Mr. Christiansen for the presentation and commended the Capital School District for initiating the program. He also expressed his appreciation to Mr. Montano for coordinating the program. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Christiansen stated that he was aware that the fire department was invited to the senior awards by the counseling department at Dover High School. He noted that he attended the senior awards and ordered the graduation cords from Amazon, not knowing if the students would get them. To his understanding and talking with Mr. Richard Wang, he reached out to a fire officer on Friday morning and asked how they could get the graduation cords. He was told that they could come by the firehouse and pick them up. He mentioned that trying to get into the senior awards was important, as this was done last year. He was aware that there were messages sent out. He was not sure why they did not show up to the graduation on Friday, but they did go to Caesar Rodney's graduation on Saturday. He does not know if it was a staffing problem. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Deputy Chief Bashista congratulated Mr. Christiansen on giving a great presentation. He stated that he would need to check with Chief Carey about Friday evening, and the reason why no one from the fire department showed up for the Dover High School graduation. He noted that the challenge was whether there was staffing available, but those things should be a priority. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Christiansen explained that he and Mr. Roswell, the Career and Technical Education (CTE) coordinator, have discussed plans for next year’s program to include tours of the Dover Fire Station, the Delaware State Fire School, the Kent County 911 Center, and the Dover Police Department. Even though they do not have a police portion of the program, they would need to be aware of what happens on that side, as well as in the hospital. He explained that much of the pre-hospital care that they provide involves Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMTs) transporting patients to the Emergency Room (ER). The students would not know what to expect when they go into the Emergency Room (ER), as it could be chaos, but they are going to be exposed to that. It is in the works for the coming year, and it would be coordinated by the local fire departments. He stated that if they have members in the program from other fire departments, they will try to go to their fire stations as well. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Christiansen stated that there are opportunities for students when they become seniors to join their local fire department, if they go through the program. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Christiansen explained that students could sign up as seniors regardless of which municipality they live in. Page 22

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 5 Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Montano stated that students of any age can sign up, but typically, ninth graders are the ones who usually enroll. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Christiansen explained that the Dover Fire Department accepts individuals starting at the age of 13, while Camden-Wyoming begins at the age of 14 or 15. He noted that age requirements vary among different fire departments. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Montano stated that the fire departments provide additional initial training in coordination with the Delaware State Fire School. Both the Dover Fire Department and the Delaware State Fire School offer on-site training for young participants. This initial exposure helps students, including young children, prepare for emergencies by providing essential skills like Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training and other certifications necessary for their Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification. The goal is to equip them to handle emergencies effectively, whether at home or elsewhere. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Christiansen stated that they have put a lot of time and effort into making this program a success. He noted that Mr. Montano would be retiring on a great note, even though there is still more work to be done, he will be leaving this in good hands for the next person who comes into the position. He also noted that he has two (2) more years on the Capital School District Board of Education, and that he is committed to ensuring the program’s success. This is because it will produce the first graduating class ready for employment, equipped with Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), Pro Board Firefighter I and Firefighter II certifications, enabling them to volunteer at their local fire company. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Christiansen stated that they no longer have programs such as the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program because of federal funding. He emphasized that there are background checks that have to be completed for an individual to become a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). They would also need to do a second background check to join their local fire department. He suggested introducing children to firefighting as early as age six (6) or in middle school. His question centered on how to best prepare the next generation of firefighters, because being a fireman is the coolest thing in the world. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Christiansen stated that they are going to do what they can to support the community, whether it be the police department, the fire department, or Habitat for Humanity, the Capital School District is committed to its role as a community partner. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Montano stated that they have a partnership with the Police Athletic League (PAL) through the City of Dover Police Department. This was a proponent of the 21st Century Program. He suggested partnering with the Dover Fire Department and the 21st Century Program to engage elementary students, helping them gain a better understanding and learn how to work with these organizations. He noted that he would like to talk with Chief Carey in the future about how this partnership could potentially develop. He stated that it would help establish an early connection with the middle school and build from there. Page 23

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 6 PRESENTATION – FRIENDS OF THE DOVER LIBRARY UPDATE (JANET CARTER, PRESIDENT) Ms. Janet Carter, President, reviewed the Friends of the Dover Library Update. Responding to Ms. Carter, Mr. Lewis noted that while reviewing the brochure, he did not see her contact information, so he offered his card for her to reach out to him. He expressed strong support for the free little libraries and shared that he recently worked with a constituent in the second district to erect one in Crossgates Park. He mentioned having leftover discretionary funds and had contacted the Finance Director and City Clerk’s Office to explore contributing those funds to purchase another free Little Library. However, since the constituent is not a non-profit organization, he could not directly contribute through her. He mentioned that the constituent had approached him about the lack of a little library in Crossgates Park, which led to the installation of one (1) several months ago. Mr. Lewis expressed enthusiasm about the program and called it phenomenal. He emphasized the importance of placing these little libraries in more parks throughout the city, noting that one (1) park in the Second District still lacks a little library. He expressed interest in further discussions and acknowledged that he may need to coordinate with the Finance Director in order to contribute funds, provided it pertains to purchasing a small library. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Carter stated that she has two (2) small libraries that they have commissioned, that are waiting to be built, and a request to make a third. PUBLIC HEARING – ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET A public hearing on the Electric Fund Budget is required for compliance with the City of Dover Electric Revenue Bonds Resolutions prior to the adoption of the budget. Notice of the public hearing was properly advertised for this time and place. Mr. Shawn Burgett, Systems Operations and Engineer Superintendent, briefed members on the Electric Fund Budget. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Burgett stated that the top three reasons for the rate increase were the cost of purchasing power, along with rising material costs and wage increases. He explained that a major factor in the rate increase was the significant rise in the cost of purchasing power. Additionally, the cost of materials has increased across the board. He also mentioned a wage study that led to substantial pay increases for union workers, approximately 25% over the past six (6) years, which contributed to the higher costs. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney explained that the reason the electric line crew’s wages went up substantially was that they have a collective bargaining agreement that includes an increased rate of pay. It will have an impact on the cost of their line crew staffing. She noted that they did have several union negotiations last year that impacted not only last year’s fiscal budget, but this fiscal budget as well. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney clarified that the increase was related to wage increases. She noted that at the beginning of January 2026, they would have a health insurance increase and increases related to the Paid Family Medical Leave (PFMLA). She explained that all of these things are impacting the budget, not just for the Electric Department, but citywide, as far as the Page 24

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 7 collective bargaining agreements and the Paid Family Medical Leave (PFMLA). Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney explained that the revisions included the addition of the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) energy efficiency program, previously approved by council, which was not incorporated into the transmission and distribution budget. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney further explained that the inclusion of the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) energy efficiency program was only a partial factor in the budget changes. She noted that, as previously discussed in past hearings, there would eventually be a payback or return on investment. She stated that constituents may see lower costs due to reduced energy usage, while the city would benefit from decreased expenses in electricity procurement and power generation. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney stated that if constituents use less electricity, their electric bills should decrease accordingly, as lower usage leads directly to lower costs on their bills. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Burgett explained that there was a fund called New Developments used to cover upfront costs for infrastructure in new housing and community developments. He noted that even though the city does not control whether development occurs, the city initially covers those costs, which would be later reimbursed. He also mentioned that the fund has increased significantly. Mr. Rocha stated for the record that PJM stood for Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection. He noted that it was their regional transmission organization that coordinates the wholesale electricity market and transmission system for a large part of the eastern United States, which is where they purchase their power from. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burgett clarified that $12.6 million was budgeted directly for power. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burgett stated that the market purchase was set at $12.6 million, and the percentage of energy above hedged amounts was bought at the market price. He clarified that the congestion losses amounted to $17 million. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burgett clarified that it was what Pennsylvania-New Jersey- Maryland Interconnection (PJM) charges for the energy. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burgett explained that congestion occurs when transmission lines become overloaded, leading to congestion charges. Line losses refer to the percentage of purchased power that was unaccounted for, typically about 3% to 4% annually, which is caused by aging infrastructure, such as old transformers and utility lines. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burgett clarified that by upgrading the infrastructure, they should reduce those losses, though there was no guarantee the target loss percentage would always be met. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Burgett clarified that as they upgrade, it brings the number down Page 25

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 8 in theory. He noted that there was a chance that they might not hit that number at a loss. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg reminded everyone that the electric utility operates as an enterprise fund and must cover all expected costs, including reserves and replacements. He highlighted that rising market costs, such as transformers tripling in price, are factored into the energy cost speculation. Approximately 75% to 80% of the utility’s total energy purchases are hedged to protect against future price increases. He emphasized that The Energy Authority (TEA) was highly skilled at hedging, making regular hedge purchases monthly. The utility hedges about 75-80% of its energy purchases to protect against price spikes, with 55% already hedged for the upcoming energy year starting in June. He noted that the hedging reduces market exposure compared to other utilities. Additionally, the utility can adjust rates up or down through a purchase power adjustment provision to reflect actual costs. He stated that they already have about 55% hedged for the upcoming energy year, which starts in June, which would help to stabilize and keep energy costs as low as possible. He explained that their market exposure was significantly lower compared to most Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) or public electric utilities. They also have a purchase power adjustment provision, which allows them to adjust rates up or down based on actual costs. Mr. Hugg explained that when actual costs are lower than estimated, adjustments are made to return savings to customers. However, predicting wholesale energy prices was highly unpredictable due to various factors such as the war in Europe, weather conditions, and malfunctions at the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility in the Gulf, which diverts natural gas either to the market or from the market. He noted that they do their best to estimate both the expected costs and what their demand would be. He emphasized the fluid nature of energy prices, noting warm weather patterns this year, and that demand was down substantially. There was also a cold snap that caught residents by surprise, highlighting how volatile energy prices can be. He noted that energy prices can fluctuate daily, and even multiple times within a single day. He explained that by code and by operation as an enterprise fund, they have to deal with and recognize what those costs are and plan accordingly. They have to maintain a certain level of reserves and have a contingency fund. He noted that there was not a lot of flexibility to deviate from, and that sometimes results in a cost increase. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that the activities were to regulate the available energy, which included determining when plants are taken out of service and what not. The Indian River Power Plant was initially slated for closure, a factor that had been incorporated into their plans. However, due to a capacity shortage on the peninsula, the plant will now remain operational. There were charges involved with bringing it back online, and because it was an inefficient old plant, it cost more to generate. He referenced that recently, President Trump issued an order to keep a Pennsylvania plant open that was scheduled to close, noting that the resulting costs were passed on to public utilities. He explained that situations like this, or unexpected failures, such as those that have occurred at Van Sant Station in the past, are examples of unforeseen events where the contingency fund would be necessary. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Burgett clarified that it would be an appropriate time to use the contingency fund if Van Sant Station was considered down due to an unforeseen outage, and there would be daily charges incurred. Page 26

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 9 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg clarified that the city faced a $5 million charge due to its inability to meet performance requirements during a past winter peak when the McKee Run Plant was unable to operate. He explained that under the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM) rules, the city’s power plants, such as Van Sant Station, are sometimes required to run when called upon. If they are called upon and cannot run, penalties may apply, which would be covered by the contingency fund. While running the Van Sant Station can occasionally generate revenue for the city, it does not happen often. He also mentioned that The Energy Authority (TEA), a third-party organization, prepared the city’s electric budget, not the city employees themselves. He noted that he would get back with council to provide information regarding the plant contingencies. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Burgett stated that when they are called upon to run Van Sant Station, there is a potential opportunity for the city to make money. Unfortunately, it is not very often. He also mentioned that the Energy Authority, a third-party organization, prepared the city’s electric budget, not the city employees themselves. The city is relying on The Energy Authority (TEA) to create its budget. He noted that he would get back with council to provide information about the plant contingencies. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. Anderson expressed concern that, unlike in past years when hedging levels reached 70–80% by July during periods of low rates, the current hedging level is below 60%. He questioned the reasons for projecting such uncertain costs and requested more detailed technical justification from The Energy Authority (TEA). He emphasized that these decisions would significantly impact their constituents. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney stated that the revenue was considered part of their electric fund revenue resources. It would be applied toward the overall revenue for the electric fund. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Hugg stated that they budget a certain amount of revenue sales as part of the budget process. He noted that they count on a certain level of revenue they would receive from being called upon to run. He also mentioned that there are times when they are called upon a lot, and sometimes they are not. He emphasized that this was a revenue item. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Hugg stated that the amount of money was not significant enough to warrant a full adjustment to the rates on a real-time basis. He explained that the occurrences were very unpredictable. There are times when they could go months without being called. Each day, they would receive a report from The Energy Authority (TEA) estimating whether or not they were likely to run. He noted that trying to adjust the rates based on that variable would be pretty risky. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Hugg stated that the payments come from the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM). Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Hugg stated that, depending on the form of payment, it can be a check or a transfer from the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM). Mr. Neil stated that if anyone has read any of the newspapers, particularly in this area, the cost of Page 27

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 10 electricity and the rate increases that are being sought by private companies have risen dramatically. He noted that he had read an article in The Baltimore Sun highlighting the growing concern over the issue. He explained that they were facing two (2) cost factors. The first factor was the cost of delivering electricity to the residents continually, and that cost has increased due to the rising prices of equipment, transmission, and related infrastructure. The second factor is the cost of purchasing power itself, which the cost of power is erratic and has also increased. He noted that when they combine the two (2) factors, it results in a 25% increase in the total cost of providing electricity to the residents. Mr. Neil mentioned that if they did not pay for the power, what would happen, and that would be the issue they face. He explained that they purchased the Smart Energy program to help all of the constituents manage and lower their electricity usage. It provides professional assistance, where experts can go into homes and identify ways to reduce their electricity usage. By doing that, it lowers the city’s cost to get the electricity to the residents. He noted that this was the concept behind the Smart Energy program, and it has worked successfully in other communities as well. He highlighted that since the first quarter of this year, their electric rates have been the lowest in the entire state. The city’s rates are even lower than the next lowest, which has been the electric department. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Burgett stated that they would need to do the calculations and get back to him about where they would stand when the rates were raised. Mr. Neil stated that anyone who wants lower rates and is complaining about the city rates should go elsewhere and see how the rates are in other locations. It is one of the challenges that they face with utilities, whether it is electric or water, the rates are already at a low rate. He noted that when they reach a point where they have excess funds that they did not anticipate, they have provided credits back to residents because they are the investors. Instead of those funds going into the pockets of some fat cat, they go back to the residents, because it should. He believes that is where everyone stands and emphasized that his explanation made sense to them. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that they were one (1) of nine (9) municipal utilities, along with a not-for-profit co-op, a for-profit, and a private utility. He explained that the rates are difficult to compare directly across all of the utilities because various utilities have different structures. Some have seasonal rates, some offer economic development rates, and others have different pricing models. He noted that based on the rates for a typical residential customer, the City of Dover has, for as long as he has been involved, either been consistently the lowest or the second lowest residential electric rate in the state. He also mentioned that the closest comparisons were generally the co-op and, at times, the City of New Castle, depending on how their processes and systems are designed. He further stated that overall, the City of Dover has remained at or near the lowest rate level. Mr. Hugg pointed out that when they have to raise rates or make adjustments, as a member of the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) board, there are eight (8) other municipal utilities facing the same challenges. He explained that if they have been following the General Assembly, they tend to impose new regulations on the city almost every year, whether it is related to resource credits or other mandates, and those regulations increase their costs, often in areas where they have very little control. This year alone, there were 25 pieces of legislation Page 28

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 11 pending that deal with electric utilities, including one (1) that was just signed into law that dictates how they are required to handle delinquent accounts. He noted that all of those uncertainties make direct comparisons between utilities difficult. They do not do those calculations themselves. He stated that Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) handles them and publishes a bar chart every month. He highlighted that consistently, they are always at the bottom, meaning they have some of the lowest rates compared to other cities. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. Neil stated that he had heard from Mr. Paul Waddell and that he mentioned with the new rates, they would be the fourth lowest in the state. However, that does not necessarily mean they would remain in that position. He noted that if costs are increasing for them, it is likely that they would also increase for other communities across the state, since the underlying factors driving the increases were not going away. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that the question being asked related specifically to the proceeds from Van Sant Station. He explained that the revenues from Van Sant Station were relatively small, so by themselves, they were not enough to justify any significant rate adjustment. However, he noted that they do have the ability to provide customers with a discount, such as a rebate and a return, and confirmed that a rebate was made last year. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Marney stated that the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) credit that Mr. Hugg was referring to, which, according to the financial policies, they would be reviewing again next year to see if there was an ability to process a credit or return to the customers over a several-year period. In response to Mr. Anderson’s question regarding when they would be evaluating the rates again, she pointed out that the last rate study, which was done in 2023, that study covered projections through the fiscal year 2028. However, she noted that due to changes and the fact that they have realized some savings, they have requested an update to the rate study. After the start of fiscal year 2026, they would be initiating another rate study, and following their financial policies, a rate study should be done every three (3) to five (5) years. She pointed out that they are still within that window. She explained that the last rate study was conducted over a five (5) year period. However, it did not include some of the capital projects that Mr. Waddell would like to have cost out, such as the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project. She noted that they included a request for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in the budget, but they decided to turn it down to keep rates as low as possible for the constituents. Since Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) was not included in the previous rate study, had they incorporated it, it would have resulted in a significant rate increase for residents. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Marney emphasized that she would recommend that they approve the request because the rate study that was provided barely covers the costs. She pointed out that the revenue projection at that time was approximately $81 million, to costs of $97,000. Responding to Ms. Marney, Dr. Sudler emphasized that he was looking for a different solution. He noted that he was looking for an alternative that would not place a burden on the taxpayers, especially given these hard times. At the same time, he understood the need to balance the budget, the differences between restricted and unrestricted funds, and how they should reappropriate the funds. He was not stating that it has not been done, but sometimes it does take a little longer to determine the best way to approach a solution. As part of his due diligence as a Page 29

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 12 representative to his constituents, he felt that if they could find a solution, it would benefit both the city and the residents. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney stated that they review the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) and work with The Energy Authority (TEA) to ensure that they comply with the city’s financial policies. She noted that according to those policies, the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) is reviewed everyone (1) to three (3) years. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney stated that it would not be determined within the Fiscal Year 2026. She noted that it would be projected for the Fiscal Year 2027. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney clarified that there was no cost adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2026 budget. Council President Neil declared the Public Hearing opened at 7:52 p.m. William Faust, 136 Orchard Avenue, spoke in opposition to the Electric Fund Budget. He pointed out that he has only heard a lot of talk, but no answers. He noted that when he heard that they had received a refund or rebate but that he had not seen anything come back into his pocket. He also mentioned that when electric rates are being increased because of salary increases, that should have been figured out and not put on the budget of the taxpayer. He emphasized that a budget needs to be made and to live within that budget. He referenced what Mr. Neil stated, and that they should not let so many words move out; that was not the right answer or comment. They are held responsible for holding the line. He stated that he did not care that they had the fourth-lowest rate. If residents are hurting, it does not matter how cheap the rates are. He noted that they had a tax increase of 2%, and utilities and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) fees increased. Mr. Faust stated that he has heard nothing productive from council about how they were going to bring money or revenue into the city. He referenced a comment that he said previously made that they had already lost a race at Dover Downs and that they had lost Firefly. He questioned where the revenue would be coming from. He pointed out that council was concerned about the taxpayers, but he did not see it, and did not hear any specific proposals or any rewards. He highlighted that he has been here since 2002, paying his bills on time, and has never seen any credit on his bill. People are struggling, and while $20 here or $5 there may seem small, it adds up quickly. Speaking from personal experience, he stated that his household expenses have gone up, such as home insurance, car insurance, and liability policy, and now they are discussing adding additional charges for water treatment and wastewater. He questioned at what point would be enough. He noted that he was not trying to be difficult, but it was easy to sit there and state that “They would do this,” or “They would do that,” but if there is no money, then cut something. It is not complicated to do. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Faust stated that he was referring to the Electric Fund Budget, and that it is added up. He noted that it was another pass on to the system. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Faust stated that he wanted them to do their jobs and try to reduce something in the budget. Page 30

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 13 Vonderlear Smack, 1001 White Oak Road, Apartment #F12, spoke in opposition to the Electric Fund Budget. She stated that it was getting worse for residents with increased costs, and the city wants to put a hike on the taxpayers. She noted that no federal funds or stocks were coming to Delaware for non-profits or grants that individuals could use to pay their bills. She referenced Mr. Neil’s comment, suggesting that individuals should leave the city to see how they fare. She mentioned that where they rank should not matter, it was the point of the statement. She noted that they should be advocating for the constituents to keep those rates down. She emphasized that residents voted them into office because they had the best interests of the residents. Mr. Neil emphasized that he did not ask anyone to leave the city but pointed out that it would be more expensive to live in other areas. There being no one else present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Mr. Neil declared the Public Hearing closed at 7:58 p.m. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Neil stated that the first reading of the budget ordinance was tonight. The electric fund goes through the budget ordinance. Lachelle Paul, 55 Glenn Street, spoke in opposition to the Electric Fund Budget via WebEx. She stated that costs are increasing everywhere, but constituents have stated that many of them are on fixed incomes. Residents cannot continue to afford the cost increases. She pointed out that when council was voted into office, residents wanted them to have their best interests at heart. As council, they oversee the City Manager, and it is the City Manager’s responsibility to find cuts and identify ways to avoid passing additional increases onto the citizens, taxpayers, and those who are paying bills year after year. She mentioned that she saw a pattern of taxing and spending. There are constant increases, but no reductions. She asked where they are going to cut their spending and when the City Manager will step up to do his job and find new revenue sources beyond what the city already collects. Ms. Paul pointed out that no additional revenue sources are coming in, and no city could continue to function that way year after year. The city was operating with a top-heavy budget. She also mentioned that there are retired employees and pensioners who need to be paid, and the city cannot allow itself to fall into a deficit so large that it cannot recover. She explained that the city needs to figure out how to bring new revenue into the city. With the budget being so top- heavy right now, that responsibility falls on them. The pension obligations and the increased spending in that area would continue to grow. She noted that if they do not find a solution to fix the budget, people will no longer be able to afford to live in the city. She emphasized that the responsibility lies with them. As far as electric service goes, the residents do not have a choice of who provides their electricity. The industry operates as a monopoly, and there are no alternative providers available to select from. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 12, 2025 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of May 12, 2025, were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Rocha, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen (Pillsbury and Boggerty absent). Page 31

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 14 COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT – May 13, 2025 The Council Committee of the Whole met on May 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. with Council President Neil presiding. Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Ms. Arndt, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Lewis (in at 6:04 p.m.), Dr. Pillsbury, Mr. Rocha, and Dr. Sudler (in at 6:02 p.m.). Ms. Hall was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Tholstrup, and Mr. Lewis (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mr. Iriowen (via WebEx), and Mr. Wilson (Utility), Mr. Garfinkel, and Mr. Shevock, (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). ADOPTION OF AGENDA Ms. Arndt moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha, and unanimously carried. Modernizing Social Media – Alex Peal Mr. Alex Peal, 848 Woodcrest Drive, Dover, explained that his goal would be for city council to set up a platform that would allow citizens to engage with public figures. He explained that too much information gets lost in translation, and having a city-run YouTube or Spotify-style platform would allow residents to hear updates directly from the source. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Peal stated that he could design a platform for the city similar to his own YouTube channel, so that the city council could interact with the citizens. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Peal stated that it does take time to be able to go live on YouTube, but eventually, they would be able to interact with citizens who call in. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Peal stated that the concept is similar to Stream Yard, and they would be able to stream to different platforms. They would also be able to save the audio and upload it to iTunes or Spotify to allow the audience to listen while driving as well. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Peal stated that his YouTube channel is his company. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Peal stated that he had not prepared a contract or budget of what it would cost to build the streaming platform. He explained that he wanted to bring forward the idea, and he would be willing to look into the potential costs. Council President Neil recommended that Mr. Peal put together a presentation covering what he would be able to do and how he would be able to get it done. Page 32

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 15 Mr. Anderson stated that, for clarification, Mr. Peal wanted to bring forward new ideas for council to consider, and he was not originally proposing to be the contractor, which is why he did not have a presentation prepared. Council Reports – April 2025 First District Dr. Pillsbury had nothing to report. Mr. Rocha reported attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony along with the mayor at Delaware Technical Community College’s newly renovated Terry Building. He also attended a tour of the Garrison Oak facility, a transitional housing nonprofit discussion along with Mr. Hugg, and an Inner-City Cultural League title transfer luncheon. He also reported participating with Ms. Arndt in a Downtown Dover Partnership Request for Qualifications (RFQ) committee for a contractor for the Brownfields in the city. He participated in the energy stakeholders’ group with the General Assembly, attended the Governors' Prayer Breakfast and the Governors' Service Awards, had a cybersecurity discussion about MySherpa with Mr. Simmons, Information and Technology Director, and attended the quarterly pension meeting. Second District Mr. Lewis reported assisting the Homeowners Association in Clearview Meadows with establishing a neighborhood watch program. He reported recognizing the nurses at Bayhealth Medical Center, along with the mayor, for National Nurses Week. He addressed constituent concerns on Elm Terrace regarding an array of potholes, which Ms. Sharon Duca, Assistant City Manager, is assisting with. Ms. Hall was absent; no report was given. Third District Ms. Arndt reported attending the pre-Dover Days Parade breakfast as well as the Dover Days Parade. She thanked Chief Carey for arranging transportation for herself and Mr. Neil on one of the firetrucks. She attended the Delaware League of Local Government dinners with several colleagues, where they were able to network and learn from other towns and cities. She attended the Downtown Dover Partnership board meeting with Mr. Neil, as well as consultant interviews for the oversight of the Brownfield redevelopment funds with Mr. Rocha. She reported touring the natural gas power plant at Garrison Oak. She also reported receiving notes from Bradford Street residents who are pleased with the outcome of the paving, sidewalk repairs, and flexible pavement that allowed the street trees to remain in place. She thanked the Public Works team for getting those repairs completed. She noted that she is exploring options with a local university to engage students in doing a tree inventory and gap analysis to identify where there are tree health concerns and where replacements are needed. Page 33

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 16 Fourth District Dr. Sudler reported that in April, he spoke with former gang members and drug dealers seeking help to find legitimate employment, noting a growing number of individuals involved in illegal activity are now requesting support to transition into the workforce. He also volunteered at the Mount Zion A.M.E. Church, cooking for both the soup kitchen and the Bishop’s Reception. Additionally, he attended Old Dover Days and hosted a town hall meeting focused on road infrastructure, code enforcement, community relations, and educating constituents about the budget process. He noted that Mr. Lewis attended both the town hall meeting and the Bishop’s Reception, along with Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Anderson, and Mayor Christiansen. Mr. Anderson reported attending several events mentioned by other council members. He shared that he had a Zoom call with Senator Buckson and encouraged other members to join future calls. Senator Buckson is exploring the possibility of securing state funding to establish a Hope Center-style facility at a hotel on the highway currently up for lease. Additionally, he mentioned the potential of converting the old family court building into a service center, noting that it would require discussion with Fourth District constituents, as it could positively impact the neighborhood if implemented properly. He also reported attending two neighborhood watch meetings, looking to form organizations at Holy Trinity Church and the NeighborGood Partners facility, focusing on individuals who resided south of Division Street. He emphasized the importance of utilizing the $5,000 budget to support and encourage neighborhood watch efforts and urged the development of guidelines in the coming months to sustain citizen engagement. He added that they had supported several non-profits through leadership and other actions and noted his attendance at the Delaware League of Local Governments meeting. Dr. Sudler modified his report, mentioning that Mr. Neil attended the Bishop’s Reception. At-Large Mr. Boggerty reported attending the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast and the Sankofa Mortgage Burning. He shared that he serves on the Lead Paint Initiative committee, which focuses on removing lead paint from rental properties and addressing its impact on child development. He also spoke with a constituent about progress on the Kenton Road project and thanked Ms. Duca for responding to a Fourth District resident's request for speed bumps. Additionally, he attended a community meeting at Holy Trinity Church and holds monthly calls with the Lieutenant Governor, state officials, and organizational leaders on various statewide issues. He closed by thanking everyone involved in voting, campaigning, and running the April election. Council President Neil Council President Neil reported attending the pre-Dover Days Parade breakfast, Dover Days Parade and a Zoom meeting with Delaware State Housing Authority Page 34

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 17 (DSHA) on homelessness. He reported addressing a Towne Point constituent's complaint regarding a neighbor commercially repairing cars on a property. Mr. Eddie Kopp, Chief Code Enforcement Officer, has taken legal action against the landlord of the property, who has initiated an eviction notice. He addressed another long-running constituent complaint regarding a house on Williams Street that is in partial repair, with another repair permit set to expire in June. Again, Code Enforcement has ordered a cleanup for the surrounding house, which has taken place, and they will continue to monitor it. He reported continuing to work with a disabled mother of two young children who was misguided into purchasing a flipper house located in White Oak Farms. Mr. Neil reported that he contacted Mr. Paul Waddell and Mr. Jason Lyon regarding a neighbor’s complaint about city bills, and one of the issues has been resolved. He also mentioned ongoing email exchanges with a constituent concerned about an annexation request involving an Acorn Lane neighbor, which was removed from the agenda the previous night. Additionally, he expressed gratitude to Mr. Andrew West, Editor of the Delaware State News, for helping locate a missing obituary notice for the gentleman who lost his wife. The woman will be buried with military honors. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairwoman Arndt presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Boggerty moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Anderson, and unanimously carried. Community Development Fund Guidelines (David S. Hugg, III, City Manager, and Councilwoman Arndt) Mr. David S. Hugg, III, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Community Development Fund Guidelines. Ms. Arndt explained that the Community Development Fund Guidelines were first introduced in October 2024 and revisited on January 14, 2025, with a draft of the guidelines and application for their review. She acknowledged that the original $10,000 cap was her suggestion, intended to encourage smaller, grassroots projects rather than larger, ongoing ones. While she does not oppose for-profit participation, she emphasized a preference for partnerships with non- profits to preserve a community-focused, grassroots intent. Ms. Arndt clarified that the funding was intended to support the community, not to encourage or support businesses. She explained that if a for-profit was involved, then a non- profit should be the primary partner to receive the funds. She supported flexibility in the funding duration, which could be from 12 months, 18 months, or longer, depending on the project. She recommended handling requests on a case-by-case basis. Page 35

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 18 Mr. Anderson agreed with Ms. Arndt that they should partner with a non-profit rather than involve for-profit entities, as non-profits are better suited to adapt to that type of funding and reporting requirements, helping to avoid potential issues. He emphasized the importance of including partnership guidelines to ensure people do not assume they are ineligible and opt out, which could lead to a loss of community creativity. He emphasized the importance of including partnership guidelines to ensure people do not assume they are ineligible and opt out, which could lead to a loss of community creativity. He also agreed with a 12-month obligation but could always make it renewable. If they needed an extension or another 12 months, because it was a small amount of money. He noted that if there is an original concept, the funding should be capped at $20,000 to get the original version of the community development project to be able to test out pilot programs. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg stated that the funding would come from two grant programs. One of the programs is funded by economic development, which is funded by the sales of excess industrial and business properties. It also may be funded by some kind of community event that they hold the proceeds from that. Regarding the use of the funds, he noted that council had ideas for some of the funds that were received, but that they did not have a place to use that money. Placing the funds in the general fund would not be effective. The community development fund was intended to collect any unusual resources to be used for the community's benefit, allowing for a variety of potential funding sources. He noted that, with the use of funds, council initially believed that some of the received funds lacked a designated purpose and simply placing them into the general fund would not be particularly effective or impactful. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg stated that they would not be able to pull money from the fund, as the resolution originally reads. He explained that those funds were set aside specifically for those purposes. Council could do whatever they needed to do, but if they were in a significant financial crunch, council could instruct them to pull money to cover a deficit, and all the funds would be available. The fund was designated as a fund to prevent it from being put in the general fund, ensuring better visibility and auditability. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg stated that the city has flexibility in allocating funds, noting that they could distribute the monies as they see fit. He noted that over the years, proceeds from property sales and other miscellaneous revenues have been deposited into the general fund unless specifically required otherwise. He mentioned that in a few cases, such as leftover personal funds, there were provisions specifying where those funds must be directed. However, in most instances, one-time or unexpected revenues have defaulted to the general fund. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg stated that, to his knowledge, the city has never had an actual deficit. While there have been instances where expenditures exceeded revenues, the city has always maintained a sufficient budget balance carryover to cover all financial needs and avoid a deficit. Page 36

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 19 Mr. Hugg noted that eligible organizations are limited to 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) nonprofits, but they would consider allowing partnerships with for-profit organizations if specific guidelines, such as providing names, affiliations, addresses, and a budget description, are met. He emphasized that any proposed use of funds must primarily benefit the City of Dover or its residents. If businesses receive money, the ultimate beneficiary must be a citizen of Dover. He recommended adding flexibility to the guidelines, including requiring proof of property ownership or permission from a manager if a project involves a specific property. He also mentioned that each application should have a City Council member as a primary sponsor to show that the project has serious backing and council support. This would be included as one of the official guidelines. He noted that requiring a City Council member as a project sponsor would not convict council but simply acknowledge their involvement. He noted that the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee could use its existing standing committee structure, since its members meet regularly, to handle application reviews. This would avoid the need to create a new administrative body, with applications being considered whenever they are submitted. The crux would be going through the certification process with the Finance Department. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg noted that although specific guidelines are not yet established to define what best benefits the City of Dover, applicants outside city limits should still be considered if they serve Dover residents. For example, a shelter outside the city helping Dover mothers and children could qualify if most of those served are from Dover. The goal is to avoid discouraging participation solely based on geographic boundaries. Dr. Sudler recommended providing a written example to clarify what the city considers a benefit, noting that the individual interpretations may vary, and a clear definition was needed for eligibility. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg explained that the differing amounts of $10,000 and $20,000 listed on the document were due to him working on separate versions at different times. He clarified that the final amount would reflect whatever council ultimately decided, and that the number would appear throughout the document once a decision was made. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg explained that one of the requirements for grant applicants would be to designate a manager or project lead who would be held accountable and ensure compliance with financial requirements. Applicants would need to provide proof of their 501(c)(3) status and bank account information. He mentioned that funding would be issued on a reimbursement basis, meaning recipients must first show proof of expenditures. Additionally, they would be required to submit monthly reports and meet regularly with the controllers. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg clarified that someone would be monitoring the funding from the city, with receipts being submitted. They would go through a Page 37

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 20 process just as they do for any vendor. When they make payments, they need an invoice and receipts for materials purchased and then consider reimbursement. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg expressed hope that the process functions as a reimbursement process, which would require applicants to demonstrate a value to the city and avoid blank check-type requests. Responding to Mr. Tholstrup, Mr. Hugg stated that they did not include a specific match amount. He explained that some of the language must demonstrate broad community support and describe how they are leveraging other funding sources. He mentioned that those would be the applications that they would look at. He further mentioned that he does not want to increase taxes to require a match because some of the applicants are not going to have a lot of money. Responding to Mr. Tholstrup, Mr. Hugg stated that he had noted two important questions for consideration: whether there should be a maximum amount of money committed and whether there should be a maximum number of grants awarded. He acknowledged that he had not yet determined answers to these questions, as the process remains open-ended. He suggested that there could be an open application window every three or six months, during which a set amount of funds would be made available. Responding to Mr. Tholstrup, Mr. Hugg noted that if it was important, they could require no more than one grant every six months or 12 months, for example. Ms. Arndt stated that grant committees that she has served on, there was a restriction on how often the same entity could come back through to apply for a project. She noted that they should leave some wiggle room for applicants who come through and have a successful project, moving toward the next phase of their project. Mayor Christiansen agreed with Mr. Anderson that the $10,000 grant amount was not realistic and supported increasing it to $20,000. He shared concerns raised during the governor’s initial homelessness collaboration meeting, where it was noted that funds previously allocated for such efforts were mismanaged or lacked proper accountability. He emphasized that, regardless of the funding source, whether American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) or otherwise, there is a duty to ensure transparency and proper use. He referenced how three Delaware mayors walked away from opioid settlement discussions to avoid being associated with certain organizations that received funding. He emphasized the responsibility of the Mayor and Council to ensure public funds are used appropriately and not consumed by excessive administrative fees. While the $20,000 threshold may help prevent this, he stressed the need for strong accountability and oversight. He noted that if the Mayor and Council award money to an organization and malfeasance occurs, the public will likely remember that the Mayor and Council provided the funding, not the individual who misused the funds. Page 38

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 21 Mr. Hugg stated that he has specified within the program the use of a council committee. He noted that it would need to be endorsed by the committee, trying to stay away from full council endorsement because it can get complicated. It would be beneficial to have a standing committee responsible for decisions. Ms. Arndt suggested adopting an established grant program model, such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process. She pointed out that this model includes specific elements such as scoring criteria, a review committee, strict reporting requirements, and thorough record-keeping. By following that model framework, she noted it could help alleviate the concerns raised by Mayor Christiansen. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Hugg stated that the fund currently holds a limited amount of money, with the only deposit so far coming from a single property sale. He explained that the size of the fund, approximately $50,000, may influence decisions on whether to award any grants at this time or wait for additional funding. He emphasized that the fund was never intended to be large, but rather to serve as a tool to support community improvements and provide benefits when unallocated funds become available. Mr. Rocha emphasized the importance of ensuring that the funds are set aside before officially launching the grant program. He agreed with Ms. Arndt’s suggestion that the program should be aligned with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) model, including the use of its established criteria and structure. He clarified that funds would not be distributed to non-profits. Instead, organizations would need to submit receipts for reimbursement, emphasizing that no blank check funding would be issued. He noted that non-profits may apply, but those organizations would need to have the money up front, and some non-profit organizations may not be able to do that. Mr. Rocha expressed support for the idea that for-profit businesses could partner with non-profit organizations to accomplish projects. He agreed with Dr. Sudler about establishing criteria for the types of projects. He suggested that if such partnerships generate ideas benefiting city properties, it could be a valuable addition to the grant criteria. Mr. Lewis shared that the Speedway Children’s Charity, Dover Motor Speedway Chapter SCC-Dover, runs a similar program annually, distributing funds to non- profits statewide. While not limited to the city, they use a helpful resource called GuideStar, a website that tracks all 501(c)(3) entities and provides tax documents, contact information, budgets, and other details. He noted that GuideStar has been valuable in verifying the legitimacy and financial standing of organizations, helping to screen unfamiliar entities effectively. Mr. Anderson stated that the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee has already put in place a general criterion outlined in its code, particularly regarding community development. He mentioned that instead of creating a comprehensive list of acceptable projects, which could limit creativity, he suggested that the applicants align their proposals with the existing criteria and Page 39

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 22 convince the committee of their relevance. He noted that the committee can clarify what they seek by referencing the current code. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to focus on what they have and what they have developed over the years. He explained that there are two types of funds: The Parkland Reserve and Community Development Funds. The Parkland Reserve is where they put money aside to protect the parklands from developers. The Community Development Funds come from within the local community and are used to benefit and revitalize those areas. These funds often come from the sale of low-cost, dilapidated properties and are reinvested to improve and strengthen the communities. Dr. Iriowen suggested revisiting the Silver Alliances Club project as a reference and using it as a model. He emphasized the importance of following up on Mayor Christiansen’s approach, noting that the focus should not be on who received the money, but rather on holding the responsible council members accountable. Regardless of the amount allocated, he stressed that accountability should remain the primary concern. Ms. Arndt acknowledged that everyone had made valid points and clarified that they were considering a $20,000 amount, not $10,000. She mentioned the inclusion of a timeframe with a possible justified extension and suggested using the current Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process as a model. She emphasized the importance of verifying 501(c)(3) status through GuideStar and clarified that for-profit entities could partner with non-profits. Additionally, she proposed increasing the narrative limit from 50 words (about a quarter of a page) to a full page and stressed the importance of letters of support and leveraging other funding sources. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Ms. Arndt stated that all the necessary information had been provided and should be incorporated into the revised document, which would then be brought back for review. This item was informational, committee action was not required. Ms. Arndt moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:04 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Council President Neil presiding. Adoption of Agenda Dr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha, and unanimously carried. Page 40

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 23 Construction Relief Program (David S. Hugg, III, City Manager) Mr. David S. Hugg, III, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Construction Relief Program. Mr. Anderson offered a few suggestions, emphasizing the need to clarify that the list of criteria is an "or" list, not an "and" list, to avoid confusion for applicants who may think that they need to meet all the requirements. He noted that clarification was important, so eligible individuals are not discouraged from applying. He also stressed the importance of keeping the process simple and accessible, allowing people to easily download the application from the website. He added that the relevant areas should already be in the city's database, and that information should be shared with customer service so applicants can identify which blocks are eligible for the activities. Mr. Anderson emphasized the importance of keeping the unit of activity restricted to a block, explaining that activities, such as events or projects, can impact an entire block, regardless of whether they occur directly in front of a business or residence. He noted that clear and valid criteria have already been established and stressed the need to keep the application process simple and achievable. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that some criteria would be established and provided to customer service, who would then apply any qualifying relief as a credit in the following months. If a business experienced disruption, such as a 50% reduction in foot traffic, it would need to provide proof of that impact. He explained that a document outlining the nature of the disruption, and its effect would be created and then submitted to customer service for processing. Dr. Sudler expressed concern regarding high noise levels under the city's noise ordinance. He noted that the Dover Police Department uses a specific decibel threshold to measure excessive noise and suggested that this standard could be used as a reference point to set parameters for noise-related disruptions. Acknowledging that construction noise can affect areas beyond a single block, he emphasized the importance of defining a clear decibel threshold to guide decisions about providing relief to affected individuals or businesses, ensuring alignment with the existing noise ordinance. Ms. Arndt acknowledged that State Street construction was disruptive but pointed out that residents received no relief for lost sleep. She argued that such quality-of- life impacts are too subjective and difficult to measure. She supported reimbursing businesses for documented financial losses but felt uneasy about addressing quality-of-life issues related to an individual’s sleep habits. Although she sympathized with affected residents, she emphasized that this was progress and warned that tracking such subjective impacts could set an undesirable precedent. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hugg stated that there was no money coming in, but that they would have credit against the electric bill. He explained that if a Page 41

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 24 downtown business met at least one of the established criteria, it would need to demonstrate the impact to qualify. The relief provided would come in the form of a utility credit, not a money transfer. Responding to Mr. Hugg, Mr. Lewis stated that the proposal should have specified the funding source and indicated that the assistance would be in the form of credit. He questioned why, if businesses are impacted by future construction, they would not also request payment plans or similar relief. He raised equity concerns by questioning what support was being provided to customers in other areas of the city, such as Kenton Road, Forrest Avenue, and Saulsbury Road, where major construction projects are also underway. He questioned the advocacy for one group of customers without offering the same support to others who were facing similar disruptions. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney acknowledged that he made a valid point about the concern of singling out one group over others. She noted that the level of support or relief should depend on the specific impact experienced in a given area. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Marney stated that she was not in favor of issuing credits, viewing them as what would be considered a “goodwill credit” in the customer service and accounting world. She explained that offering those credits would be a gesture of goodwill toward constituents in response to disturbances. She emphasized that it would be up to council to decide whether or not to move forward with this approach. Mayor Christiansen commended Mr. Anderson’s intentions but emphasized that other parts of the city have also experienced disruptions from construction, such as street paving, without receiving relief. He argued that the temporary inconveniences for downtown businesses and residents do not justify credits, since the long-term benefits, such as improved water, sewer, and electric infrastructure, would enhance property values and quality of life. While expressing his dislike for nighttime construction, he stated that he would be willing to tolerate the disruption if it meant replacing outdated infrastructure and achieving lasting improvements. He stated that by acknowledging the community's concerns for livelihoods and sleep, he stressed that the short-term discomfort would be outweighed by the long-term rewards for those living and working downtown. Dr. Iriowen expressed that there was no reason to compensate individuals who are experiencing temporary disruptions aimed at improving their quality of life. He questioned what criteria would determine who qualifies for compensation. He emphasized the importance of going through the challenges together without focusing on compensation, trusting that there is a brighter future ahead. He cautioned against starting initiatives that they cannot control or complete. Page 42

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 25 Mr. Anderson reminded council that the Construction Relief Program had already been approved, and that the current task was to establish the criteria for implementing it. He clarified that the intent was not to enhance the lives of current business owners directly, but rather the future expansion of downtown. He stated that long-standing businesses that endured COVID-19, economic struggles, and disruptions now bear the weight of their vision. Losing those anchor businesses for the improvement of downtown would be ridiculous. He noted that it was important to establish a positive criterion. He emphasized that economic development is not just about expansion, but also about retention. He stated that there were two goals for economic development and that was to retain existing businesses and attract new businesses. Keeping the businesses that currently exist should be the top priority, followed by efforts to attract new ones. He stated that if they do not keep the current businesses, then they are not going to bring in new businesses because those businesses would see how they treated their existing customers. He believed that the focus was on economic damages, and the original approved proposal addressed those affected businesses. He also noted that while he generally disagreed with Ms. Arndt, some members of council had requested that residents also be included. Mr. Anderson stated that he was comfortable with whatever the majority of council decided, as long as the Construction Relief Program stayed within the $75,000 budget. He acknowledged that there could be a valid case for including residents in the program but emphasized that the focus was on economic survival. He compared the downtown area with areas like Kenton Road, noting that there were not a lot of businesses that were affected by the construction. As well as Forrest Avenue, most of the businesses located there have different outlets and do not have the same economic impact. He noted that Downtown Dover presented a unique situation where there was primarily street parking and sidewalk access, with no shopping centers. The focus was primarily on pedestrians walking to businesses where the sidewalks might be removed. He stated that this was a unique situation demanding unique actions to be taken. Ms. Arndt stated that she agreed with Mr. Anderson’s comments but clarified that she did not support compensating residents for loss of sleep. Her concern was that her previous remarks might be misunderstood. She emphasized that she supports assisting businesses that experience a loss of revenue during the construction period by providing credits toward their city utility bills. She stated that the city owed those businesses support that have fought to remain downtown and that such assistance is reasonable during the disruption caused by construction. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Anderson stated that while the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) officers and the businesses he has spoken with support the initiative, he was not aware of an official vote by the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) board. He clarified that he did not want to claim full Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) support without such a vote. However, the executive officers of the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) are unanimously in Page 43

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 26 favor. If a Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) endorsement is desired, he suggested that the matter could be added to the agenda for a vote. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Dr. Sudler stated that it would be the right way to go, especially if the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) were asking for this. The Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) was part of the initial reason why council was doing this. They have a bit more money and are still an entity of the City of Dover. He noted that since grant money was provided to the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), he believes that council should have access to those funds. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Anderson stated that they did check into the grant money and that the grant money was limited to the specific criteria, which would be acceptable since the $1,500,000 did not have to be used for necessary upgrades. The grant would benefit the city's infrastructure, not the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP). Responding to Mr. Anderson, Dr. Sudler suggested that the existing criteria would allow for compensation related to the disruptions, since they were still dealing with structural infrastructural issues and what could be allotted. He noted that if his argument was well-presented and aligned with the criteria, it could be permissible and justifiable, especially since it addressed structural issues and the disruption to businesses. That would support Downtown Dover’s economic vitality. Dr. Sudler suggested pursuing a legal opinion to determine if this approach would be appropriate. Dr. Pillsbury stated that she supported Ms. Arndt’s comments. She noted that individuals work 24/7 and believed that they would have a difficult time compensating people for noise disruptions. She mentioned that everyone tolerates bad things, but there are alternative ways to deal with noise. She mentioned that she does not agree with supporting the residents but understands the issue with businesses. Mr. Hugg stated that they had sufficient time to finalize the details of the Construction Relief Program, as the construction was not scheduled to begin until March of the following year. He emphasized that this provided an opportunity to develop and, if desired, test the program before they carry out the proposal. He noted that the construction would span 12 months, marking it as a significantly longer project than others the city undertakes, such as the Bradford Street repairs. Ms. Arndt stated that she does not believe the financial impact on the city will be significant. She acknowledged that any impact matters but noted that due to phased construction, block-by-block, utility bill credits, the limited number of businesses per block, and many empty storefronts, the overall revenue loss on electric bills would not be substantial. She mentioned that it would be substantial to the property owners, but in terms of the impact on the city in regard to lost revenue, she does not foresee that as being something they should be concerned Page 44

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 27 about at this point. She believes that it was more important to provide relief to the business owners because it represented a bigger issue for those individual owners than for the city’s collected revenue. Mr. Neil stated that without funding from the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP), they may face similar challenges in the future. He questioned the support for renters but emphasized that the priority was the business owners. Some of whom might have to close because customers cannot access their locations. He acknowledged that residents living in the area would still need a way to navigate the construction, but the disruption for them would be fairly short. He noted that construction was inevitable, whether it happens now or later. He also noted that the choice would need to be made if it was only going to be just businesses or whether it was going to be on the residents who live there. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Marney stated that because the situation involves public utilities and the provision of credits, it would qualify as a goodwill credit to a customer’s utility account. She clarified that the action falls within their authority and would be in compliance with the bond council. She noted that she would officially confirm this, follow up with an email for verification, and assured that they would comply with the bond council. Dr. Iriowen proposed separating businesses and residents into two groups, recommending that utility bill credits be provided to businesses while discussions regarding residents continue. Mr. Hugg suggested exploring alternative options in coordination with Mr. Anderson, given his strong interest in the matter. He offered to contact the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) for feedback and, if Council agreed, report back in a few months to continue the discussion. This item was informational, committee action was not required. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Shevock moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and unanimously carried. Page 45

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 28 Proposed Ordinance #2025-09 – Amending Chapter 102 – Taxation, Article I – In General, Section 102-1 – Valuation and Assessment (Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director) Ms. Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding Proposed Ordinance #2025-09 – Amending Chapter 102 – Taxation, Article I – In General, Section 102-1 – Valuation and Assessment. Staff recommended that the committee approve Proposed Ordinance #2025-09 and forward it to Council for approval. Mr. Anderson expressed concern about depending on the Kent County Levy Court for future assessments, noting that the assessments were only done when the courts made them. He proposed an amendment to remove the strike-through language and instead have an option to choose either Kent County Levy Court assessors, or a group of assessors, such as mass assessors or a consortium, to handle the responsibility. He explained that as long as the Kent County Levy Court remained current, they would always be the preferred choice, unless they failed to fulfill their duties. However, removing the strike-through would limit options solely to the Kent County Levy Court, preventing the use of alternatives like Tyler Munis. He emphasized wanting to have the freedom to use a backup option if the Kent County Levy Court fails to do its job, so the city would not end up in a lawsuit with them. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Haines emphasized the need to examine the financial differences between the city and county assessments. She noted that the city’s 2025 assessment was based on 2020 data, amounting to $5.1 billion, while the county’s reassessment was at $6.5 billion. However, the county’s figure includes 210 more properties than the city’s records show. She stated that the financial distinction between the city and the county’s assessment would need to be looked into. Ms. Haines explained that the county taxes rental trailers, whereas the city taxes the land they occupy. She also noted the Customer Service team was unable to complete the task for this year and requested that the 2020 evaluation be applied to go for the 2025 tax bill, since it still needed to be evaluated. Dr. Sudler expressed uncertainty about relying on the county for assessments, emphasizing the importance of having the city’s process to account for the criteria. He pointed out the differences between city and county tax variables. He noted that while using the county’s method might generate more revenue for the city. He was not convinced it would best serve their constituents' interests. Ms. Haines reminded the council that the 2020 re-evaluation cost the city $104,550. She noted the ongoing expenses with Tyler Munis, noting that last year’s bill was $17,300. Each time assessments were needed, there was an additional charge of $700 for four hours of work. She stated that requesting an assessment report from Kent County would cost $60 per report, and the annual cost would total $300. Page 46

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 29 Mr. Neil clarified that there was confusion about assessments, explaining that they are based on property sales in the given area, not on whether a home is in the county or city. He expected a significant increase in assessments in his community due to rising home values over the past five years. He mentioned that it was not a question about receiving more money, because the city is revenue- neutral. While some neighborhoods may see higher assessments, others may see little change or even lower amounts if property values are depressed. Mr. Neil also expressed concerns about how Tyler Munis conducted assessments in the community but noted that it had nothing to do with the home sales. He noted that there was miscommunication, which caused fear among residents, but he emphasized that no additional money would be collected beyond what was already budgeted from the assessments. Mr. Anderson reminded everyone that the only reason the amount was $104,000 was that they used to have an Assessor’s office. They did the majority of the assessment work in-house and only contracted for what they could not do. Otherwise, it would have been $500,000. He noted that the cost would probably be more today than five years ago. He explained that the Kent County Levy Court used the same assessment company that the city did, and they received the same type of values. The city and Levy Court both received similar results, if not the same results, but they would just charge the city for it. He noted that if they wanted to use something different than the Kent County Levy Court, then they would need to look back at eliminating the Assessor’s office or be content with the double paying. He also noted that they were just going to use the work they did for the Kent County Levy Court for the City of Dover. They would import the information and then charge the city $500,000 but could get the work done for $60. He emphasized that it was the direction they should go. He noted that if they want to look differently, then he believes that they need to discuss whether or not they should have eliminated the Assessor’s office. That would be a discussion that they could not have due to a timeframe that they are required to meet. He believes the only answer is to take the Kent County Levy Court’s valuation and adjust it accordingly. If residents appeal to the values of the city, then they could make individual adjustments. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Haines clarified that they would take the Kent County Levy Court’s assessments, handle appeals, and then the city would accept their values. She noted that they were considering eliminating the Board of Appeals. Ms. Marney stated that she and Ms. Haines spoke with representatives from Tyler Munis about steps for new assessments for the new year and were referred back to the county. She referred back to Mr. Anderson’s comments that the same data would be used for the assessments. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Marney stated that the double taxation occurred because residents who live in both the county and city would pay both the county and city tax bills. It was not based on the assessed value. She explained that Page 47

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 30 regardless of whether the city uses its values or a different assessing company, it would still rely on the county’s values, and the issue of double taxation would remain due to the nature of tax design. In her opinion, they do have work to do to use the county values that Ms. Haines demonstrated, but it would save the city a significant amount of money. Not only by using the same assessment company, but also by maybe having to employ an Assessor’s office. She noted that it would be a council decision, and she supported using the county’s values. She also noted that there would be some reconsideration in doing away with the Board of Assessment Appeals so that the city still retained control over whether it issues a senior tax exemption, disability exemption, or an exemption for a non-profit. Responding to Ms. Marney, Dr. Sudler stated that he knew that it was double taxation and understood the concept. He was focusing on that when it comes to property taxes and property assessment, what they are being taxed on, the assessment drives what the owners are getting taxed for their property. He noted that the city was charging him less than the county was, and he had the same amount of property. He explained that if the city could charge him between $1,500 to $2,000 less than the county, but if the city used the county’s criteria, his costs would increase by that amount. He emphasized that this was what he was discussing about the financial distinction between the county and city taxes. Dr. Sudler stated that he would be more in favor of staying with the city and having the city pay the cost. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Marney stated that there would always be a difference between county and city taxes. She explained that the city’s value at the moment was less than the county’s because the city’s last assessment was in 2020. If they were to do an assessment today, it would be more than or equal to what the county’s value stated. From reading Ms. Haines' proposal, she noted that it was not proposed that they implement the county values for Fiscal Year 2026. She stated that Ms. Haines is proposing to implement the county values in Fiscal Year 2027. She mentioned that it allows Ms. Haines' department time to evaluate the differences between what the county lists versus what the city has. She further mentioned that the county was currently assessing the mobile homes in Kings Cliff. She noted that the county was assessing the mobile homes, but that the city only assessed the land. She explained that it was not in the code that they assessed those buildings. To adhere to Mr. Neil’s point, it is a land lease community. The city was not currently taxing them. There were only certain land lease communities in their area that they taxed. She noted that Ms. Haines might present a proposal to council that could generate additional revenue for the city. Since they were using the 2020 assessment, the gap would eventually close as the county updates its assessments, regardless of whether the city or county values are used or who pays for the assessor. Mayor Christiansen stated that Ms. Marney was correct that the values would eventually blend and that Fiscal Year 2027 was a good target date. He did have some concerns. He noted that when Mr. Crawford Carroll was mayor, they tried to get a separate service function budget established so that the services that the Page 48

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 31 county provided to everyone would be duplicated within the city, with planning inspections, the assessor’s office, and other services. They wanted a refund, and it never came about. He mentioned that when they receive their county tax bill, the county taxes are a minimal part of that bill. The real impact is the school taxes, which are required by Delaware law to be collected by each county. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that the committee approve Proposed Ordinance #2025-09. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Responding to Mr. Shevock, Mr. Rocha stated that Mr. Anderson was going to move forward with the amendment, so there would be a change to the original ordinance. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend that the committee approve the amended Proposed Ordinance #2025-09 to restore the strikeouts in lines 13 and 14 after the words Levy Court. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Rocha moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote and carried by a roll call vote, six (6) yes (Hall, Anderson, Arndt, Rocha, Sudler, Neil), one (1) no (Lewis), two (2) absent (Pillsbury and Boggerty). Mr. Anderson moved to recommend adopting the amended Proposed Ordinance #2025-09, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Rocha moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote and carried by a roll call vote, six (6) yes (Hall, Anderson, Arndt, Rocha, Sudler, Neil), one (1) no (Lewis), two (2) absent (Pillsbury and Boggerty). Proposed Ordinance #2025-10 – Amending Chapter 2 – Administration, Article V. – Finance by adding Sec. 2-426 – Credit Card Processing Fees (Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director) Ms. Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding Proposed Ordinance #2025-10 – Amending Chapter 2 – Administration, Article V. – Finance by adding Sec. 2-426 – Credit Card Processing Fees. Staff recommended that the committee approve Proposed Ordinance #2025-10 and forward it to Council for approval to charge $3.25 per credit card transaction. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Haines stated she would need to research which municipalities have the lowest and highest credit card fees. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Haines stated that the ultimate goal was to recoup the overall expense. She noted that they have approximately 153,000 electronic Page 49

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 32 payments per year, so at $3.25, that would cover $497,250 of the cost. The city would still be responsible for $152,000. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Haines stated that going up to $3.50 or $3.75 would be open for discussion. Dr. Sudler stated that he would like to see the numbers if they were to go up $3.75, and how that would impact their costs. He believes that would be doable because ATM transactions are at least $3.50, and that $3.75 would help collect some of the accrued financial hardships. Ms. Arndt stated that she was in agreement with charging a fee and that it had been discussed several times before. She does not see this as a burden to the constituents because they have other options. Constituents do not have to pay by credit card, they can pay by direct debit, cash, or check directly to the city. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Haines stated that this was a reason why they wanted to go with a flat rate, because the flat rate pricing simplifies calculations for them, as they pay the same fee for every transaction. She noted that there was a credit card limit of $5,000 per swipe. Some businesses have an exception that can go over the $5,000 limit. She mentioned that Senate Bill 89, which was still in progress, could prevent charging any fees on credit card transactions exceeding $1,500. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Haines clarified that Senate Bill 89 would impact them because they would not be able to charge a fee. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Haines stated that Senator Russell Huxtable and Senator Bryan Townsend believed it was a good idea to come up with Senate Bill 89. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Haines stated that Senate Bill 89 does not clarify a benefit to protect the consumer from having to pay a fee for a credit card transaction. Ms. Arndt supported the $3.25 and $3.50 fees and suggested working with key account specialists to encourage larger account holders who pay by credit card to switch to other payment methods to avoid processing fees. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Haines clarified that a fee would apply to online credit or debit card payments, but there would be no fee for payments made in person with cash, check, money order, or for those using auto withdrawal. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Haines stated that no additional fee would apply if a checking account was used for payment, as long as a debit card was not used. Page 50

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 33 Mr. Lewis stated that the information should be shared with the public through Ms. Sass’s office to ensure transparency and prevent anyone from claiming they were not aware. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Haines explained that due to COVID-19, more individuals began paying bills with credit and debit cards instead of in person. Which led to reduced staffing in the cashiers. While online check payments avoid fees, small credit card transactions, such as $1.00 to $5.00 incur high processing costs. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Haines stated that the city’s bank and credit card fees totaled $650,000 in last year’s budget. Mr. Neil stated that credit card companies offer different rates and questioned whether a Request for Proposal (RFP) should be done to find a better deal for the city. He emphasized that they should fight Senate Bill 89, saying it does not make sense, and noted Ms. Arndt’s point that there were alternative payment options. If there is a chance to get a better break from a credit card company for handling transactions, then they need to look for that. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Marney stated that the last banking Request for Proposal (RFP) was conducted five years ago. She noted that a banking Request for Proposal (RFP) is typically conducted every three years. She noted they are nearly tied into using the merchant service providers with which the city currently has credit card services. Due to their constraints with the utility billing and financial software, there were only a few merchants that could work with the accounting software companies that the city uses. She mentioned that she has looked into other credit card companies to handle transactions. Mr. Neil moved to recommend accepting the staff recommendation of Proposed Ordinance #2025-10 with a provision to increase the credit card transaction fee from $3.25 to $3.75. The motion was seconded by Dr. Pillsbury. Responding to Mr. Garfinkel, Ms. Haines stated that the dollar amount for the transaction would include the amount of the bill plus the $3.75 credit card transaction fee. Responding to Mr. Garfinkel, Ms. Marney explained that credit card fees vary based on the payment method and depending on the card type, ranging from 2% to 3%, with Visa at 1%, while Mastercard, Discover, and eChecks have different rates. Typically, a 2% charge per sale based on the sale amount, which is the gross sale multiplied by that percentage, would be what the city’s merchant charge is. She noted that in addition to the percentage, the city pays an administrative fee, so the flat fee was based on taking the gross number of online transactions, which was not the dollar figure, but the quantitative number. This would factor into what the city spends per year on the credit card fees to establish a flat fee rate. She also mentioned that Ms. Haines has been spending a lot of time working with credit card companies to ensure that it was enforced and while being compatible with Page 51

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 34 their current accounting software and public portals to customers. The recommendation that was brought forth was the best path forward, as to a flat fee versus a percentage fee. Mr. Neil moved to recommend accepting the Proposed Ordinance #2025-10 with a provision to increase the credit card transaction fee from $3.25 to $3.75 as the approved credit and debit card transaction fee, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Dr. Pillsbury and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Rocha moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Ms. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote and carried by a roll call vote, six (6) yes (Hall, Anderson, Arndt, Rocha, Sudler, Neil), one (1) no (Lewis), two (2) absent (Pillsbury and Boggerty).

SETTING OF ELECTRIC, WATER, AND WASTEWATER RATES AND TARIFFS Mr. David Hugg, III, City Manager, reviewed the Electric, Water, and Wastewater Rates and Tariffs. Ms. Arndt moved for adoption of the Electric, Water, and Wastewater Rates and Tariffs, seconded by Ms. Hall. Ms. Arndt stated that they hire independent firms with expertise in setting, modeling, and projecting rates to ensure that they can continue to provide those essential services to their constituents. She pointed out that none of them want to raise rates, but unfortunately, these are the times they are living in, and everything is going up. The city cannot maintain the previous rates and still make necessary repairs, complete upgrades, and provide the level of service the constituents have come to expect. She emphasized that it was not her desire to raise rates, but at this point, there was no alternative. She noted that it was a very trim budget and felt that they had done their best, and that she stood by the rate as presented. Ms. Arndt moved for adoption of the Electric, Water, and Wastewater Rates and Tariffs, seconded by Ms. Hall, and carried by a roll call vote, five (5) yes (Hall, Neil, Arndt, Rocha, Anderson), two (2) no (Sudler and Lewis), and two (2) absent (Pillsbury and Boggerty). IMMIGRATION POLICY CLARIFICATION (MAYOR ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN) Mayor Christiansen reiterated a statement he originally made on January 27, 2025, and reissued the statement, addressing the relationship between the City of Dover and Federal Immigration Page 56

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 39 Laws (Exhibit #2). Before addressing his statement, he mentioned that he had been repeatedly asked about Chief Johnson’s presence at Legislative Hall. He explained that Chief Johnson attended committee meetings concerning laws affecting enforcement and public conduct, and each time, Chief Johnson did so with his support for the immigration policy. REMOVING PROPERTY FROM THE 10-YEAR TAX ABATEMENT PROGRAM (ALLISON HAINES, INTERIM CUSTOMER SERVICE DIRECTOR) Ms. Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director, briefed members on Removing Properties from the 10-year Tax Abatement Program. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Haines stated that she would get back to him with more information regarding the Kent County assessment. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Ms. Haines stated that the tax abatement was originally given to the National Council on Agriculture. When the property was transferred, the abatement should have been removed, but that was not caught at the time. She noted that the 10-year period would have expired next year, but since the error had been identified, the abatement was being removed a year early. Ms. Arndt moved for approval of the Removing Properties from the 10-Year Abatement Program, seconded by Mr. Rocha and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Pillsbury and Boggerty absent). FIRST READING PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2025-09 – AMENDING CHAPTER 102 – TAXATION, ARTICLE I – IN GENERAL, SECTION 102-1 – VALUATION AND ASSESSMENT (ALLISON HAINES, INTERIM CUSTOMER SERVICE DIRECTOR) Council President Neil reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers, on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government,” or by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at 302-736-7008 or cityclerk@dover.de.us. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting of June 23, 2025. Ms. Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2025-09 – Amending Chapter 102 – Taxation, Article I – In General, Section 102-1 – Valuation and Assessment. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Ms. Haines stated that she would get back to him with more information regarding the Kent County assessment. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Haines clarified that their reassessment will occur every five (5) years, and they would follow through with Kent County. She noted that was the reason the specific years were included in the ordinance. She also mentioned that next year would be the first year using Kent County’s assessed values, and the county’s next reassessment was scheduled for 2029. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: Page 57

FIRST READING PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2025-10 – AMENDING CHAPTER 2 – ADMINISTRATION, ARTICLE V. – FINANCE BY ADDING SEC. 2-426 – CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES (ALLISON HAINES, INTERIM CUSTOMER SERVICE DIRECTOR) Council President Neil reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers, on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government,” or by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at 302-736-7008 or cityclerk@dover.de.us. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting of June 23, 2025. Ms. Allison Haines, Interim Customer Service Director, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2025-10 – Amending Chapter 2 – Administration, Article V. – Finance by Adding Sec. 2-246 – Credit Card Processing Fees. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Hugg stated that they have been communicating through the Delaware League of Local Governments (DLLG) regarding a series of bills that raised concerns for them. He noted that a particular reason that they were looking at having an effective date of September was that if, for some reason, one (1) of those bills passes, then they would need to revisit and either amend or choose not to move forward with the ordinance. The bill puts a ceiling on the amount a jurisdiction could charge as part of a utility or other municipal bill. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: ORDINANCE #2025-10 – AMENDING CHAPTER 2 – ADMINISTRATION, ARTICLE V. – FINANCE BY ADDING SEC. 2-426 – CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES. FIRST READING PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2025-11 – FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 CITY OF DOVER BUDGET ORDINANCE (DAVID HUGG, III, CITY MANAGER) Council President Neil reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available at the entrance of the Council Chambers, on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government,” or by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at 302-736-7008 or cityclerk@dover.de.us. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinance will take place during the Council Meeting of June 23, 2025. Mr. David Hugg, III, City Manager, reviewed Proposed Ordinance #2025-11 – Fiscal Year 2025/2026 City of Dover Budget Ordinance. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Hugg stated that council was entitled to the same raise that non- bargaining employees receive on an annual basis. He clarified that the raise was set at 4%, but council members could choose to decline it either individually or collectively. If they did so, the corresponding amount would simply be removed from the budget. Page 58

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 41 Mr. Lewis stated that he had previously raised the issue about receiving a raise and had written an op-ed in the newspaper where he respectfully declined the raise. He noted that he was informed that he had to accept it, and as a result, to this day, any additional monies that he has received have been donated to a non-profit organization. He stated that it has been the approach he has taken. He stated that if there was a new option or alternative that could be done to please let him know. He emphasized that he would not be accepting the raise for the next fiscal year and respectfully declined. Ms. Marney stated that, with respect to Mr. Hugg’s comments, if council as a whole were to remove the pay increase, a motion would need to be made on the floor. She explained that if the increase was included as part of the budget, individual members could not reject the pay increase on their own. because it is part of the budget. She pointed out that it was the situation that they encountered last year. Mr. Rocha made a motion to remove the Fiscal Year 2026 4% pay raise for members of City Council. The motion was seconded by Ms. Arndt. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Marney stated that they would need to review the calculations and get back to council with the total dollar amount. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that council could take their current compensation and multiply it by 4% to determine the amount of the increase. He cannot recall the exact figure offhand, but that Council President would receive the largest increase, while other council members would all receive the same amount. Mr. Anderston stated that he would not have an issue if the funds from the pay increase were redirected toward the fire department grants. He mentioned that he would like to know the exact amount because it would be estimated at a few thousand dollars. He pointed out that knowing the precise figure was important when making the decision, especially given the public policy implications. He explained that the charter was designed to match the pay increases of non- bargaining employees for a few reasons. It was to prevent the need for a large increase later to do a catch-up and to adjust to keep pace with the current wages. He noted that the raise was not designed to be significant, but rather it keeps council’s compensation aligned with the non- bargaining employees, just like everyone else, so there was no special treatment. He highlighted that it was a public policy decision. Mr. Anderson was open to declining the raise for a year if those funds could be redirected to something such as firefighters' needs. He emphasized that he had a real policy problem if they made that a habit because that approach would lead them back to the problem the charter was designed to prevent. He noted that moving away from the charter’s guidance was a bad policy choice. He also mentioned that the wisdom embedded in the charter was the right path and believed it was important to keep that in mind. Ms. Arndt concurred with Mr. Anderson, noting that there was sound logic behind the policy when it was established. She pointed out that the amount was not significant, and that it would not be sufficient to address any budget shortfalls. She viewed the pay raise as largely symbolic and suggested that the matter be revisited next year without making any changes as a matter of Page 59

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 42 policy. She emphasized that she was willing to forego the increase. Mr. Neil stated that as Mr. Lewis has done, he has taken the excess funds and managed to give back to the community. He reminded members of council that he voted against the increase to begin with, but that was another story to be told another time. Dr. Sudler stated that for nearly 20 years, before the recent raise, they were only receiving $7,000 a year to serve their community in the position they serve. He could not speak for all of the council members, but the position requires a significant amount of attention. He noted that if they are truly doing their job and staying connected with their constituents, it demands enormous time and dedication, such as attending meetings, being prepared, and more. He mentioned that he was not retired, as well as a few other council members, though some members are retired. In that context, they should not feel bad about the compensation they receive. That being said, he does agree that the raise was largely symbolic, and right now, several constituents are facing real hardships, and they need to be mindful of that. He noted that he would be in support of it this year, but he did not support the idea of giving back money that they have earned overall. He felt that all council members had earned their compensation, and as mentioned before, when he was Council President in 2021, they were only receiving $7,000 annually. He highlighted that the amount was below the minimum wage for professionals who dedicated their time to respond to constituent concerns. He stated that he would support the symbolic gesture of standing with their constituents during hard times. He noted that for this year, he would not need that increase, but these are hard times for everyone. He concurred with Mr. Anderson that this should not become something that they do regularly. Ms. Bennett stated that Mr. Rodriguez had pointed out that the pay increases were now in the charter, and any changes to the charter would have to be approved by the General Assembly. Mr. Hugg stated that, according to the Code of Ordinances, City of Dover, Delaware, Section 2- 20. (a)(2), Councilmembers generally. Each council member shall receive an annual salary of $18,000.00 (FY 2023). The council president shall receive an annual salary of $23,000.00 (FY 2023). He noted that the minimum increase, not including any cost adjustment made last year, was roughly $7,000, which was not a large amount. Mr. Rodriguez stated that the amendment made by the General Assembly to their charter required that any further changes must also be made by the General Assembly. The City of Dover cannot make changes through any type of action by council. Mr. Lewis mentioned that with respect to the Mayor, he recalled not long after everyone received raises, the Mayor issued a proclamation, stating that he would not accept any salary until 2027. He asked if council would be able to do something similar and if Mr. Rodgrieuz could look into the matter. Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Rodgrieuz stated that he would check the charter and let Mr. Neil know what his findings were. Mr. Rocha suggested that the motion be withdrawn and that any action be postponed until the final reading of the budget. Page 60

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 43 Mr. Rocha rescinded his motion to remove the Fiscal Year 2026 4% pay raise for members of City Council. Ms. Arndt rescinded her second for Mr. Rocha’s motion. Mr. Anderson suggested that they could raise an amendment at this stage and let it lie with the ordinance. He noted that then they could address or dispose of it at the next meeting during the final reading. That way, they would have the necessary information before making a decision. Ms. Bennett stated that it would be easier to withdraw the motion. She noted that if they determine that it can be done, they could revisit it. She referenced Mr. Rodriguez's comment, pointing out that, according to the language in the charter, once council's annual salary was established in Fiscal Year 2023, all future council pay raises would be tied. Dr. Sudler asked that, since there was a motion on the floor and it was properly seconded under Robert’s Rules, it should need to be formally rescinded. He noted that they could not vote on the motion because it was governed by the charter. Based on his limited knowledge of parliamentary procedures, he stated that the motion would need to be rescinded. Responding to Dr. Sudler, Mr. Neil stated that, to his understanding, Mr. Rocha withdrew his motion. Responding to Mr. Neil, Dr. Sudler stated that the motion was not withdrawn; it was left on the table. He noted that under parliamentary procedures, a motion that has been properly made and seconded requires a vote. Since no action can be taken until they receive the necessary information regarding the charter. Mr. Rocha rescinded his motion. Ms. Arndt rescinded her second for Mr. Rocha’s motion. Mr. Neil stated that the motion was off the floor for now and can be brought back if they determine what action can be taken. In accordance with Section 1-9 of the Dover Code, Council acknowledged the First Reading of the proposed Ordinance as read by the City Clerk, by title only, as follows: ORDINANCE #2025-11 – FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 CITY OF DOVER BUDGET ORDINANCE. CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Hugg had no announcements. MAYOR’S ANNOUNCEMENTS Responding to Mr. Lewis, Mayor Christiansen stated that by resolution of council, he had requested that the mayor’s salary be frozen at the amount it was for the last fiscal year. He noted that any changes would require a unanimous vote of council in 2027, emphasizing that it was a Page 61

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 9, 2025 PAGE 44 point of clarification. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lewis stated that he wanted to obtain the particulars to see if council could take similar action. Mayor Christiansen announced several upcoming events that are coming to Dover. On Saturday, June 14, 2025, the city is hosting a Comic-Con downtown. On June 21, 2025, a Juneteenth celebration with a parade will take place on the Legislative Mall. The African American Festival, sponsored by former Councilman Rubin Salters and Positively Dover, is scheduled for June 28, 2025. The Old-Fashioned Independence Day Celebration Parade and fireworks will be held downtown on July 4, 2025. Additionally, an Elvis Presley tribute concert will be performed at the Schwartz Center for the Arts at 7:00 p.m. on June 20, 2025. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Anderson reported that the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) will hold a Capital City 2030 community update on Thursday, June 26th, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at The Hive, 28 West Lockerman Street. The event will share updates on key projects, including a mobility center, the mixed-use redevelopment of 120 South Governor’s Avenue, Loockerman Streetscape enhancements, and more. The event is open to the public with no RSVP required. He wanted to encourage individuals to show up. Mr. Anderson explained that these developments aim to increase Dover’s taxable property base over time, helping to broaden the city’s tax base. He stated that it was reported that development of the Garrison Tracts is underway, which will add hundreds of millions of dollars to the city’s tax base, contributing to significant growth. He encouraged residents to attend the upcoming community updates on these developments. He highlighted that a tribute is to be made to the United States Army, which will celebrate its 250th birthday on June 14th, 2025. He noted that the Army was recognized as the oldest institution defending freedom in the world, having played a crucial role in shaping the United States and impacting global freedom, technology, and prosperity. Mr. Lewis reported that he had assisted and coordinated a neighborhood watch in Clearview Meadow, a development in the Second District, last month. He mentioned that if any council members were interested in starting a neighborhood watch in their areas, to let him know and he would share the information. He noted that he has been contacted by a few other communities in the Second District interested in the neighborhood watch program. It is a very resourceful initiative, which is coordinated with the Dover Community Policing Unit. He noted that they attend the meetings and provide valuable insight. Ms. Hall added to Mr. Anderson’s comments regarding the Army celebration, noting that June 12 also recognizes women’s service in the military. She expressed gratitude to all women veterans for their service and sacrifice, sharing her own pride in having served her country. Mr. Neil addressed the fact that he was accused of telling individuals that they should leave the city. He clarified that he was warning them that if they did leave, they might be unhappy and would have to pay the moving and processing costs to return to Dover. The meeting adjourned at 9:16 p.m. Page 62

Lloyd Schmid, 170 Merion Road, Dover, gave public comment regarding an issue at the intersection of Mifflin Road and Hazlettville Road. He explained that he had spoken to the City of Dover and Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and he still felt that there was an issue with not having a yield sign when heading west on Hazlettville Road and turning north onto Mifflin Road. He was told by DelDOT that the intersection meets Federal Regulations. Mr. Schmid further stated that he is thinking about requesting public records from the City of Dover Police Department that would give information on how many accidents have happened at the intersection.

ATTACHMENT #1 Item #4. Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of 06/10/2025 Walls, Ashley A From: Roy Sudler Jr. <roysudlerjr@comcast.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 2:42 PM To: City Clerks Office Subject: EXTERNAL: Submitted into the record under District 4 Report - Dr. Sudler WARNING: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Madam Clerk Bennett, Please submit the following details regarding the meeting I attended on May 30, 2025, along with Dr. Travis Mishoe Sudler, I., as Human Relation Commission's Interim Chairperson to be inserted into the meeting minutes as District 4 - Dr. Sudler's Report. Appreciatively, Dr. Sudler __________________________________________________________________ OUR Voices: Meeting Minutes Date: Friday, May 30, 2025 Location: Tomeka’s Homestyle Eatery, Dover, DE Topic: Civic Engagement & Understanding Local Government Special Guests:  Councilman Roy Sudler, Jr., Ph.D. – Representative, 4th District, Dover City Council  Dr. Travis Mishoe Sudler – Commissioner, Dover Human Relations Commission, District 4 Dover City Council Presentation Summary Structure and Role of the Dover City Council Councilman Roy Sudler, Jr. provided a comprehensive overview of the City of Dover’s government. The city operates under a council-manager form of government, with a mayor who has limited executive authority—primarily the power to veto legislation and supervise the police chief. The nine-member City Council serves as the city's legislative body. Councilman Sudler emphasized that the council is responsible for: 1 Page 76

Item #4.  Managing the city budget  Crafting legislation  Responding to constituent concerns  Promoting ethical and responsive governance He reaffirmed his commitment to being a present and engaged representative, stressing the importance of listening to community members and reflecting their voices in city decisions. Understanding the Budget Process Councilman Sudler explained that:  The city manager compiles funding requests from each department.  A proposed budget is submitted to council for review, questions, and revisions.  The council votes on the final budget, typically approved by July 1 each year. He highlighted that although public attention often focuses on the mayor, the council holds real legislative and fiscal power. He encouraged residents to understand how their local government functions, noting that systems differ by city (e.g., Dover’s council-manager system vs. Philadelphia’s strong-mayor system). To support civic education, Sudler directed attendees to explore the National League of Cities and learn about different forms of local governance. He acknowledged that much of his own learning came from independent research, as formal onboarding for new council members is limited. Council Leadership and Informed Voting Sudler explained that:  The Council President (also called Vice Mayor) is the most powerful role in city government, stepping in when the mayor is incapacitated.  This position is not elected by the public, but chosen by the nine council members—a process he believes undermines accountability. He advocated for:  A public vote to determine the Vice Mayor.  More scrutiny of council candidates, warning that some run for personal gain rather than community service.  Voter education on candidates’ track records and values, not just campaign slogans. He noted that low civic literacy leads to low standards for elected officials and urged residents to educate themselves and others. Low Voter Turnout in Local Elections 2 Page 77

Item #4. Councilman Sudler called attention to poor voter participation in city elections:  Despite a population of nearly 40,000, fewer than 5,000 voters participated in a recent election.  Multiple council seats were on the ballot, yet turnout remained low. He framed this as a call to action for increased civic engagement and education. How Residents Can Engage with City Council In response to a question about civic involvement, Councilman Sudler recommended the following:  Attend Council Meetings: Physical presence shows strength in numbers and raises issue visibility.  Submit Written Feedback: Emails, letters, or comments read into the record can shape decisions.  Ask Questions: Directly contact your councilperson for clarification on issues.  Build Relationships: Ongoing dialogue helps ensure your concerns are represented.  Know Your Representatives: Dover residents have both a district and at- large councilperson; those outside city limits are represented by Kent County Levy Court members. He reiterated that real power lies with the people, and even small groups—as few as five concerned citizens—can influence decisions. City vs. County Residency and Voting Confusion A participant raised a common issue: having a Dover mailing address but living outside city limits. Councilman Sudler clarified:  These properties often receive city services but fall under county jurisdiction and are ineligible to vote in city elections.  To check: review your property tax bill—if you only pay county taxes, you're not a city resident. Sudler is advocating for more transparency and fairness around taxation, annexation, and service delivery. Improving Communication with Residents Sudler addressed ongoing communication gaps:  Notices are posted on the city website or in newspapers but often missed.  Most residents only visit the site to pay utility bills. He proposed using utility bill inserts as a consistent method to inform residents, citing past success when he chaired the Human Relations Commission. He stressed that this requires a City Council vote, with at least 5 of 9 members in favor for such motions to pass. 3 Page 78

Item #4. Youth Engagement and Digital Challenges Dr. Travis Sudler shared insights on youth and civic participation:  Young people are navigating a digitally fragmented world—what he called “Internet Delaware”—filled with harmful content and misinformation.  Social media significantly influences their values and behaviors, often negatively. He called for intentional efforts to engage youth and build their awareness of real-world issues and community involvement. Closing Remarks Councilman Roy Sudler, Jr. ended with a powerful reminder: “Power begins with the people. The more informed and engaged we are, the better our government becomes.” He encouraged residents to stay involved and offered the following opportunities:  Dover City Council Meetings Held on the 2nd and 4th Monday and Tuesday each month at 6:30 PM ➤ City Council Calendar  Human Relations Commission Meeting Monday, June 16, 2025 | 6:00–7:00 PM | City Hall  Find your representatives and more details: ➤ City of Dover Council Members Brainstorming Session Summary Vision Statement Feedback  Proposed Vision: “Organize, Educate, and Empower Together”  Most attendees liked the phrasing and message.  Some noted it reads more like a slogan, recommending a deeper discussion to align with long-term goals. Key Areas of Civic Focus  The group debated focusing efforts on city, county, state government, and school boards.  Consensus favored engaging across all levels, citing their interconnected nature. Group Name  Current communications are under the name “OUR Voices.”  Most participants were in favor of keeping the name. 4 Page 79

Item #4. Meeting Schedule  Meetings will continue on the 4th Friday of each month, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.  In-person format will remain for now; virtual options will be explored.

KEVIN QUINN - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION - DISCUSS SPECIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES Kevin Quinn and Matthew Suchodolski from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) gave a PowerPoint presentation please see Attachment 1. Matthew Suchodolski states his appreciation for time tonight. The Delaware State University Center very important project funding requested in 2011. 2021 EDA was able to feature Delaware State University this past summer coordinated outreach with National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) as a historically black college and University were able demonstrate the good work the students of Economic Development and Business programming do and can do. They have been recognized International Economic Development Council as a model program. They obtain the course work to allow them to be equipped for Economic Development Certification. The alignment with Delaware State can not be overlooked they were one of 11 universities throughout the nation that were featured. Page 82

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 3 Matthew Suchodolski states Councilman Anderson had early questions relative to Dover Air Force Base for Department of Defense programming. Outreached to Douglas Edward Brown whom shared notice of funding opportunities that will be apparent this fiscal year. Matthew Suchodolski will share that information via email. Councilman Anderson asks when it comes to the Covid Grants and opportunity zones would something like money for small business revolving loan fund (RLF) would that qualify for Covid funding. Kevin Quinn state the RLF granted to the state will cover all three counties, as well as three additional RLFs one per each county. The City of Dover could start RLF specifically for Dover, but they cannot cross, business cannot get funding from multiple RLFs. Councilman Anderson next question is who handles destination funds? Kevin Quinn states he is not familiar with these funds. Matthew Suchodolski state under American Recovery Plan the congressional appropriation speaks to a certain percentage of that appropriation for EDA to be for travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation. There will be funds just do not have terms of engagement yet. Mayor Christiansen welcomes Mr. Randy Robertson our new City Manager Diane Laird, she and Lisa have been working on grant request through USDA that was submitted on March 31 for a revolving loan fund. It is nice to know that we may be able to look for more additional funding. Would EDA funding be available for Master Planning Downtown. Kevin Quinn said yes please send him a proposal for RLF also that is not duplicating efforts from other RLF in Delaware. Also, yes the EDA helps with master planning and feasibility studies would be happy to discuss further down the road and off line. They will assist with sewer, roads, outdated infrastructure, and attracting business that will hire. Mr. Randy Robertson asks Mr. Hugg is this same planning process we spoke a week ago with Ms. Parkowski or is it different. Dave Hugg states it is the same notion. Mr. Robertson asks if this is the same RFP conceptually and Dave Hugg confirmed. Dave Hugg asks if infrastructure funding would apply if City is interested in developing or redevelop municipal complex example a new City Hall. Kevin Quinn states not it is not it has be in regards to job creation. Example when he was in Tennessee that brought in Volkswagen, they had an area of undeveloped land. They gave them a grant to clear land, redo rail lines, water and sewer. That is more classic EDA Public Works for funding. Dave asks if underutilized unused farm land as a future employment zone linked to air force base those would be eligible, and Mr. Kevin Quinn stated yes. Page 83

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 4 Lisa Chase asks Kevin if she can talk off line, he agrees to go through each project that they have lined up. Lisa asks if there is a funding cap on these grants. Kevin says yes and no for example if you ask for 20 million for an RLF you must bring it down. You have to be realistic and have match. Lisa asks if it will be a one to one match, Kevin says yes match makes your application more competitive. Councilman Anderson, the hospital expanded and other job opportunities, but the water sewer piping would need to expand would EDA give match for it. Kevin Quinn states yes that is what EDA does and that would be competitive under Public Works. Councilman Anderson would be enhancing with smart technology to bring more people in and getting competitive grants with Verizon 5g broadband and electric cars. Kevin Quinn says yes that would qualify. Dave Hugg asks if funds from American Rescue Plan be able to use as match. Kevin Quinn says the guidelines for that money has not come out, yet he would have to check with his legal team. Mr. Suchodolski states their lawyers are currently looking at that and reaching out to treasury. CITY OF DOVER PLANNING UPDATE GIVEN BY DAVE HUGG Dave Hugg advises we took advantage and submitted seven projects through Congressional Authorization Procreations Process some would qualify for EDA funding mostly infrastructure projects. Also, submitted four projects to Representative Blunt Rochester for community projects including two planning projects if we cannot get funded otherwise. Waiting for guidelines from US Treasury of American Rescue Plan should be on or around May 10.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 5 COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT - JUNE 15, 2021 The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held by video conference on June 15, 2021 at 6:00 p.m., with Council President Sudler presiding. Members of Council present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Neil, Mr. Hare, Mrs. Arndt, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Anderson requested the agenda be amended by moving Item# 6 - Presentation - Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Master Plan to be considered first. Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Presentation - Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) Master Plan (Diane Laird, Executive Director, DDP) Ms. Diane Laird, Executive Director, DDP, reviewed the Downtown Dover Partnership Master Plan presentation. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Laird stated that considering the current workforce, the potential workforce gain from DSU locating downtown would be a key factor in a successful outcome, not only for entrepreneurial types that want to open small businesses, but all for other professional businesses that may arise. Mr. Neil suggested that the Downtown Dover Partnership consider including the Riverwalk previously proposed by Mr. Taylor as a part of the plan. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Laird stated that they had not sought funding from private industry or a public private collaborative. She stated that she tried to keep things condensed while looking at the plans but there was no reason not to consider private sources or public private sources in addition to the non-profit sources if they need the funding. Ms. Laird stated that it was something she would consider. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Ms. Laird stated that Delaware State University would be engaged in the visioning, planning, and exploration of investment in how the campus would engage with the whole master plan. She stated that how their involvement in terms of funding correlated to the rest of the community was worth exploring. Page 85

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 6 Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Laird stated that part of the plan should be assessing where a campus of social services could be located or if it should be spread out. Evaluation of Bids - Fiscal Year 2021B Street and Alley Program (Sharon Duca, Public Works Director) Ms. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Fiscal Year 2021B Street and Alley Program. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Grassbuster's Landscaping Company, Inc. for the City of Dover Fiscal Year 2021B Street and Alley Program, Bid #21-0039PW, for the amount of $381,083. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Duca stated that she could get information on the cost overrun by dollar amount and percentage as compared to what was proposed for previous bids that Grassbuster's Landscaping Company, Inc. had been awarded. Mr. Boggerty suggested that going forward it may be beneficial to include whether a company had previously done work for the City and what the percentage of their overruns was in the bid and RFP packages. Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager, stated that if the City included performance measures it would need to be in a system so it can be applied equally. He stated that if this information would be used to penalize companies there needed to be good metrics. Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Duca stated that in terms of performance, Grassbuster's had done a good job on various projects in the past and had completed jobs on time as well. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Duca stated that Stevenson Drive was part of the 2021 street program that was accepted by Council the night before so the plan was to have Stevenson Drive done first. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Duca stated that Public Works was trying to work on a phased in plan that would leave a significant number of trees in place by trying to work around them. She stated that they were working through that with a contractor for the 2020 program and it would come back to committee for review once they received further information on the cost and were able to ensure the ability to not disturb the trees as a part of the project. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Ms. Duca stated that as long as everything worked out with the contractor and the equipment they should be able to pave the road surface before cold weather settled in. She advised that some of the issues that would take more time were the sidewalks on the other side of the trees due to the Page 86

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 7 need to develop the possibilities for routing around them and the need for various public involvement as it could affect homeowner's properties. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff's recommendation to award the contract to Grassbuster's Landscaping Company, Inc., for the City of Dover Fiscal Year 2021B Street and Alley Program. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Elimination of the City Assessor's Position (Cheryl Bundek, City Assessor) Mrs. Cheryl Bundek, City Assessor, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the elimination of the City Assessor's position. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Bundek stated that her biggest con for eliminating the assessor position would be the loss of a position in the department, the pro would be the cost savings to the City which would be the case if they awarded the job to the contractor or if they chose to go with the County. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Bundek stated that Human Resources was looking for a position for the employee whose position would be eliminated if the assessor's position was eliminated and that the employee was looking at and applying for the open positions within the City. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Bundek stated that if Kent County had the revaluation, Tyler was doing that revaluation and had also done the City's. She advised that if the City did not go with Kent County revaluations, if it chose to go with the Kent County route after the reevaluation was done, it would be in the City's best interest because the values would be different. Mrs. Bundek noted that even if the City did a valuation in the same year, Kent County was using a different valuation software. She stated that Tyler was going to be using Patriot software, which is what Kent County currently had so there would be a different value probably between the City value and Kent County's value, which could make for appeals for whoever has the highest value between the two properties. Mrs. Bundek stated that it would not make sense to a property owner how the valuation year can be that close and maybe extremely different. She advised that the City would also have to make a judgment call on quality of home and condition of home from an assessor that is working in Kent County versus either an assessor that is working for the City or a contractor that is working for the City. Mrs. Bundek stated that her only concern if the City chose not to go with the county value was that it may incur a lot more appeals because of judgement calls between two different jurisdictions and two different software being used. She noted that the contractor cost right now was not to exceed $59,900 a year. Page 87

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 8 Mayor Christiansen stated that the Assessor's office had kept current with the assessment values of the properties within the City and he firmly believed that the City should keep the position. He noted that after the end of the Kent County Assessment the City could see if it dovetails with theirs and make the decision then. Mr. Hare noted that the City pays County taxes which covers having property assessed. He stated that he agreed with Mayor Christiansen that the position could stay vacant and be kept available while the City waits to see what the County comes up with before spending the money to do a reassessment. Mr. Sudler stated that he agreed with Mayor Christiansen and he would like to see some type of relief in regards to constituents being hit with County and City taxes simultaneously. Mayor Christiansen stated that in some areas where there is duplication of services, there is a separate service function budget. He noted that it had been considered for the City of Dover and the County over the last forty years. Mayor Christiansen advised that he did not know if it would change but it was something that should be discussed on a regular basis. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Bundek advised that the City had already signed the contract with Tyler Technologies for additional services, so they were at its disposal. She stated that they would not be needed unless asked for any contract work, so the City could use them until a decision is made. Mrs. Bundek advised that if the City's route was to search for another assessor, they would have to be certified with the State to be appointed as the assessor to value properties. She stated that the contractor could be utilized in the interim to value any new building permits. Mrs. Bundek stated that she, Mrs. Patricia Marney, Customer Service Director, Mr. Randy Robertson, City Manager, and Mr. Matt Harline, then Assistant City Manager, met with Mr. Mike Petit de Mange, Kent County Administrator, to discuss what the future was with the reevaluation. She advised that it was not in the settlement that the County had to do a reoccurring reassessment like the City does, but Mr. Petit de Mange stated that was what he was proposing. Mrs. Bundek stated that the first City reassessment in 2010 was just short of a million dollars and has since gone down to about one hundred thousand ($100,000) because the properties will be looked at within a five-year period, so a contractor does not have to be hired to look at every property like the whole State has to do right now. Mrs. Bundek advised that the State was going to go out and look at every property again, including the City of Dover properties. She stated that the contractor would get the information from the Planning and Inspections Department via the Tax Assessor's administrator, they would value the properties and the Tax Assessor's administrator would do the rest of the leg work. Mrs. Bundek noted that the way it was positioned was for the Tax Assessor's administrator to go under customer service and be directly supervised Page 88

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 9 by Mrs. Marney. She stated that the contractor would come in and probably just deal with the administrator in that aspect. Mrs. Bundek stated that if the City went with the county valuations the Tax Assessor's administrator would send the permits to the county, the county would do all the permits and valuation and the City could just do an export. She stated that it was currently $15.00 for each export so it would probably be best to do that four times a year prior to each billing and then bill based on that information. Mrs. Bundek sated that one of the big pros for using Kent County was that there would no longer be a need for a Board of Assessment Appeal because all of the appeals would be sent directly to Kent County, who would handle all appeals to property values. Mr. Harline stated that the information from the Council retreat was used to guide the construction of the 2022 Fiscal Year Budget which did not currently include funds for a new assessor so if Council wanted to hire a new assessor in the next several months there would be a substantial increase in the budget. He stated it was also assumed that the City would be able to find a way to absorb the field assessor if the Tax Assessor position was eliminated so that position would also have to be added back into the budget as well. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mrs. Bundek stated that if the position was kept vacant to see what happened with the County before a decision was made there would be some interim ordinance changes that would need to be made. She noted that Mrs. Marney had an intern in her office that had been working on the senior citizen issue and was willing to work on the ordinance issues as well but the City would need direction on whether the Tax Assessor's office would remain under Council or go under the City Manager and who would be supervising the one person in that position. Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, stated that she was concerned that if the assessor's position was left vacant rather than removing the department the City would have to budget for those positions. Responding to Ms. Peddicord, Mr. Harline stated that the administrative assistant position for the Tax office was budgeted but the field assessor was not budgeted and the assessor position was only budgeted through Mrs. Bundek's retirement. He advised that if another assessor was hired the City would be paying retirement costs, the Assessor's costs, and the field assessor's position that was not funded because of the increased Tyler amounts. Mr. Harline noted that if the City did not use Tyler and instead used that position, the amount would be less, however, he did not have the actual costs at the time. Mr. Neil moved to table the discussion and bring it back at the next Council Committee of the Whole meeting with a staff recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Page 89

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 10 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees' recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Discussion of Business License Rates (Matt Harline, Interim City Manager) Mr. Dave Hugg, Planning and Community Development Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the City of Dover business license fee structure. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that he had not received a lot of feedback from the business community however, due to the deadline, he had not done as much direct one-on-one as he would have liked. He stated that due to the time crunch both he and Mr. Matt Harline, interim City Manager, felt that if the City were to consider raising the fee amounts they should be nominal now and a serious adjustment should come at a later date. Mr. Lindell moved to refer the discussion back to staff for continued work and to report back at a time that was convenient once the appropriate information had been gathered, including talking to the business community as well as any ordinances that may need to be done. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hugg stated that a 10-10.8% increase would yield about $150,000. He advised that the expected revenues were around $147,000. Mr. Hugg stated that they would go down a little bit in the current fiscal year but were expected to bounce back in the new fiscal year. He noted that with an increase of 10% the proposed dollar amount would be roughly $150,000. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hugg stated that the only rush was that license renewals had to be sent out by July 1st so if a change were to be made a notice would need to be included in the license renewal, otherwise the City would need to wait until the same time next year. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Harline stated that because the fees were all in Appendix F there would need to be an amendment to the ordinance. He advised that according to the Code licenses begin on August 1st and if they are not paid by August 31st a fine can be assessed for late payment so a lot of the timing is built into the Code. Mr. Harline stated that it was his understanding that it would need to be moved along pretty quickly. The motion to refer the discussion back to staff for continued work and to report back at a time that was convenient once the appropriate information had been gathered, including talking to the business community as well as any ordinances that may need to be done was unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees' recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Page 90

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 11 Police Department Executive Compensation (Thomas Johnson, Police Chief) Chief Thomas Johnson reviewed the background and analysis regarding Police Department Executive Compensation. Responding to Mr. Contant, Chief Johnson stated that the Deputy Chief was just below $124,000 and his recommendation was $135,000 which would be an increase of $11,000 for that position. He stated that if Council was in favor of addressing the shortage in Fiscal Year 2021, his salary would increase from $139,000 to $147,000 which would be an additional $8,000. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that the compression issue was present at the time he was offered the position and was working out the details of his employment. He noted that he was going to be making less than the person he supervised and once he got a better understanding of what the salary landscape was, he requested the City provide him with a mechanism to discuss his salary. Chief Johnson advised that the Mayor was identified as his point of contact for that discussion and they had a meeting in the City prior to him signing the offer letter. He stated that at that time the mayor had a figure and he had a figure, he was trying to create a separation between ranks and a placement in market value in Delaware. Chief Johnson noted that at the time, the mayor was prepared to offer $130,000. He believed it was related to the residual funds in the Fiscal Year 2020 budget because it was a mid-budget year and there was a concern on his end, but the appendix to that conversation was, there would be 7% added in Fiscal Year 2021 to make up the difference in market value which he believed the mayor recognized at the time. Chief Johnson stated that there was some type of communication disconnect internally from the time of that meeting and he discovered the issue later in the year, which was approximately in May. He advised that at that time he was trying to position for the Deputy Chief's promotional process and had two viable candidates. Chief Johnson stated that looking at the compression issue for the published salary for Deputy Chief against where the Captains were as the most recent FOP contract was progressing, he was concerned that there would be a challenge getting one of the captains to accept the position. He advised that during that discussion with the previous City manager, it became clear that they were not aware of the 7% piece of his hire so he began the process of trying to rectify it. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager, stated that 20 or 25,000 would not be impossible to find if the City did a property tax increase. He noted that if it was closer to a 40 or 50,000 increase total and if the City did not increase property taxes he would advise Council to look at it as a $50,000 expenditure just to be safe in terms of load for retirement, etc. Mr. Harline stated that he had not had a chance to review the information with Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer. Page 91

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 12 Mr. Harline clarified that the original budget was built with a two and a half percent raise for non-bargaining and to increase that to 3% across the board for the extra half a percent would be a little over $20,000, and when the proposal for the Chief and Deputy Chief are added that is where it becomes $50,000. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend increasing the Deputy Police Chief's salary to $135,000 and increasing the Police Chief's salary to $147,000, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Review of Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Annual Budget (Matt Harline, Interim City Manager) Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Annual Budget. Mr. Harline shared an action form for budget amendment options (Attachment #1). Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mayor Christiansen stated that $50,000 of his economic development budget immediately goes to the Kent Economic Partnership and the rest is used by he and Mr. Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development for advertisements, site visits, and promotion for the virtues of the City of Dover to generate jobs. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline advised that the City currently had $520,000 of revenue recognized. He stated that he and Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, were pretty confident that they could say it was lost revenue directly related to COVID. Mr. Harline noted that they were continuing to review where money could and could not be expended from the COVID monies and they were pretty confident that the direct amount from the federal government for the year would be in the neighborhood of $4.3 million. He stated that he believed the Committee members already knew some of the things they were allowing the City to expend it on were things the City did not usually do but there were some opportunities to use it in things like housing, COVID vaccinations, and things like that. Mr. Harline noted that there was also some money for water and wastewater which he thought could be used but the City had not given up on efforts to secure more funding. He stated that he, Mr. Hugg, and the Mayor had met with the U.S. Treasury Department and representatives from both Senator's offices and their representatives, particularly Senator Carper, but also Senator Coons, who helped bring the Treasury to the table. Mr. Harline advised that they had learned there were possibilities for the City and ways that the City could get more money, but it would have to be through the State or the County. He stated that the other way would be if new legislation were proposed and passed in the U.S. Congress, or if there were some legal decisions saying that distribution was constitutional so basically $520,000 was all that was recognized in the 2022 budget currently. Page 92

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 13 Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated that he was not suggesting that the City spend the other million dollars from the real estate transfer tax on the sale of Dover Downs yet. He advised that he would like to use that million dollars to build the reserve because there were a lot of things that had been cut and he and Ms. Peddicord were not absolutely sure where the City would be at the end of Fiscal Year 2021. Mr. Harline noted that he and Ms. Peddicord would like to go back and re-analyze what the priorities were with all of the departments. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Harline stated that the $50,000 he had referenced for non-bargaining employees was separate from the Segal Water Assessment. He advised that the only thing from the Segal study that was in the budget was the recommendation to bring the supervisor in Grounds, supervisor in Streets, and some other positions up to the minimum according to the market study part of the Segal Assessment. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Harline stated that when the COPS Grant was adopted, the City assumed in its model that there would be a one cent increase in property tax for the current year and another half cent increase in Fiscal Year 2023 to cover the cost for the five additional police officers. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Harline stated that regardless of what is done in the current year between the cameras and other items, the commitment would be up to $664,000 next year. Mr. Sudler stated for the record that Council needed to continue to work on their statesmanship behavior and attitude when conducting the business of the public. Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mr. Harline stated that if a constituent owned a $250,000 home and the City put a one cent property tax for $100, the cost of the increase would be $25 a year for a $250,000 house. Mrs. Arndt stated that she would ask Council to look at a one cent increase versus a two cent increase. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Peddicord stated that there were a lot of unknowns and a lot of cuts being considered. She advised that the cost of a one cent tax increase equated to about $352,000 and a two cent increase equated to about $700,000, which she did not think the tax payers would notice significantly. She stated that she agreed with a lot of the statements being made about not being able to count on one-time money because it was unknown if it would continue and there may be a decrease going forward. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Ms. Peddicord stated that the trash fee, water rates, and other increases already built into the budget were the general fund budget, which was different. She stated that there were unknown expenses that were not recognized yet. Page 93

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 14 Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Harline stated that purchases were made with the assumption of raising taxes one cent or one and a half cents to cover the cost in Fiscal Year 2022 and 2023. Mr. Rocha moved to move the budget forward as amended by Staff to include a one cent tax increase, to put $25,000 into the Economic Development Budget, and to include the recommendation to have a 3% increase for non-bargaining employees and to have equity with the Chief and Deputy Chief's positions. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes (Hare, Arndt, Rocha, Lindell, Sudler, Shevock, Contant), three (3) no (Anderson, Boggerty, Taylor), and one (1) absent (Neil). By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the Committees’ recommendation, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

LOUDEN (PRESIDING ELDER OF DOVER DISTRICT DELAWARE CONFERENCE) - ONE-YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE JUNE 2022 By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the appointment of Elder Ellis B.

FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2021-15 The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of June 14, 2021. Council President Sudler reminded members of the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government.” Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mrs. Arndt and unanimously carried. Mr. Matthew Harline, Interim City Manager, provided an update to the revised proposed ordinance #2021-15 (Exhibit #1). He noted the following revisions: • A slight decrease in Interfund Service Receipts in General government from $1,337,200 to $1,362,000. • An increase in Miscellaneous Grant Revenue from $520,000 to $595,000. • An increase in Council Expenses from $157,200 to $190,800. • An increase in Police Extra Duty from $500,000 to $541,400. Mr. Anderson moved for the adoption of ordinance #2021-15, seconded by Mr. Hare. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Harline stated that Council Expenses were $25,000 less than what was presented during the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. He advised that there is a need to cover some expenses and lodging, reimbursable through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP), but some of the people coming in for the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) Event need lodging at Delaware State University (DSU). Mr. Harline noted that lodging was originally planned as free and that William Henry Middle School was no longer available, so adjustments were made that did not get into the budget before this time. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mr. Harline stated that the funds would be coming out of Council’s Contractual Services budget, but the increased expenditure was offset in revenue. By motion of Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Hare, Council, by unanimous roll call vote, adopted Ordinance #2021-15 (Exhibit #2). INTERIM CITY MANAGER’S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Matthew Harline, Interim City Manager, thanked Council members for their input and taking a Saturday to review policies and set guidelines for the budget. He noted that Dover Downs Casino is a benefit for economic development. Mr. Harline stated that the City maintains the American Public Power Association RP3 Award for reliability. Page 95

Item #14. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 28, 2021 PAGE 16 COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Taylor thanked Council members and the citizens that attended the Police Chief’s Advisory Committee meeting. He noted that creative strategies were brought forward and that two meetings have been scheduled within Manchester Square and Liberty Court in an effort for them to go and communicate with the citizens. Mr. Taylor stated that it was a collaborative effort between Mayor Christiansen and Dover Housing Authority, and Delaware State Housing Authority is involved. Mr. Boggerty commended Mr. Taylor and all those who attended the Police Chief’s Advisory Committee meeting. He noted that he had the opportunity to go to the vehicle when it was in Simon Circle. Mr. Boggerty stated that the vehicle was empty and asked if they could include coloring books or footballs to give out and engage kids. Mr. Anderson thanked Council members for their continued support of the Central Delaware Partnership for Hope, the Greater Dover Healthcare Blitz, also known as the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) Event. He stated that there will be yard signs soon and invited members to participate. Mr. Anderson stated that there are over 7,000 people on the waiting list right now for dental care.

Item #14. MEMORANDUM To: Mr. Roy Sudler, City of Dover Council President Honorable Members of Dover City Council From: Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department CC: Mayor Robin Christiansen, Deputy Chief David Spicer Date: 6/11/2021 Subject: Police Department Executive Compensation Council Members; As requested by the Council President following a recent conference on this topic, I offer this summation related to the salary agreement at the time of my hire and a recommendation to address the recurring challenge of salary compression, and market value, for the positions of both the Chief of Police and the Deputy Chief of Police. As it relates to the former, at the beginning of FY 21, I did not receive the salary adjustment that was negotiated at the time of my appointment. I was promised a 7% increase and only received the 2% value provided to all non-bargaining employees on July 1, 2020. In relation to the latter, recent FOP contract agreements and a lack of adjustments to comparable market value have gradually led to a serious lag in the salary status of both Chief Officer positions. In May of 2020, when Major Stump chose to retire, I discussed the salary challenge for the position of Deputy Chief with the former City Manager, Mrs. Mitchell. My goal was to resolve it prior to offering the job to either Captain Bernat or Captain Spicer. It was during this conversation that I discovered she was unaware of the salary agreement I had reached with Mayor Christiansen. I immediately contacted the Mayor and requested he attempt to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Of course the combination of the ongoing COVID-related State of Emergency, and the civil unrest that began in late May, made a quick resolution impossible. In the end, the City policy of “5% at the time of promotion” got us through the critical moment when selecting Captain Spicer as the new Deputy Chief. However, salary compression resumed again just 6 months later, and at the current time, the Deputy Chief rank is not financially attractive considering the options available to the Captains that might fill it. The same is now true for the rank of Chief even after honoring the initial agreement.

Item #14. To conclude the matter of my FY 21 salary, I would offer that Mayor Christiansen has confirmed to several members of Council that 7% was promised to me on July 1, 2020 and that my original paperwork in February would reflect the starting figure of $130,000 due to budget constraints. I would respectfully request that I be issued a check to cover the residual 5% owed me for service in FY 21. The difference between $132,600 and $139,100 is $6,500. The current labor agreement with the FOP has a salary schedule that calls for 3% increases at the beginning of the next three budget years. To illustrate the supervisory scale, the average salary separation for each supervisory promotion is roughly 8.5% Presuming that non-bargaining employees receive 3% as well, the promotion from Captain to Deputy Chief has a separation of only 2.85% going into FY 22. If the non-bargaining employees receive less, the compression continues to increase. In discussions with the Mayor and several members of Council I outlined the challenges of asking a Captain to leave the security of the bargaining unit, contract benefits, and access to year-round extra- duty income to assume a more responsible role with no financial distinction truly reflective of the rank. Similar distinction between Deputy Chief and Chief was discussed. The issue of market value was also raised for both positions within the Delaware Law Enforcement landscape. The Chief Officers of the Dover PD also function in a State-level capacity representing Dover’s interests on issues that impact Delaware Law Enforcement. Dover is considered part of the “Big 4” as it relates to sworn agencies in the State. The other three are the Delaware State Police, the New Castle County Police, and the City of Wilmington Police. Like the other three, the Dover Chief of Police is a voting member of the boards that address Training, Certification, Accreditation, and Grant funding. Moreover, we are in permanent task force relationships with State and Federal law enforcement partners to address challenges unique to the larger agencies. To resolve the current situation, I would suggest the following action plan. 1. Break the cycle of the Captain salaries encroaching upon the Chief and Deputy Chief Salaries by adopting a standard separation between executive ranks. 2. Beginning in FY 22, create a 9% separation between Captain and Deputy Chief. This 0.45% above the average separation but less than the two largest. The 0.45% will account for the clothing, educational and other incentives lost with the promotion to Deputy Chief. On July 1, 2021, the Captain base salary will be a few dollars shy of $124,000. 9% would set the Deputy Chief salary a little over $135,000 and make it comparable to the Deputy Chief compensation found in Newark. 3. Beginning in FY 22, for all the same reasons, create a 9% separation between the Deputy Chief and Chief. That would take the Chief to a little over $147,300 annually and the position would then be proportional to comparable major Chief salaries in Delaware. Additional illustrative date can be found in the attached appendix and further details can be provided if it is the pleasure of Council. Respectfully submitted,

Item #14. Police Department Executive Compensation – Appendix 1. Salary separation values contained within the DPD FOP Collective Bargaining Agreement a. 9.3% upon promotion to Master Corporal $91,947.63 to $98,606.66 b. 9.6% upon promotion to Sergeant $100,850.46 to $107,051.07 c. 6.5% upon promotion to Lieutenant $110,597.72 to $113,975.50 d. 8.8% upon promotion to Captain $120,344.99 to $123,963.59 e. 8.55% is the average increase across all four supervisory ranks 2. $123,963.59 is the Captain salary effective 1 July 2021 3. $123,884.80 is the current Deputy Chief salary with the FY 22 figure unknown 4. $126,981.92 - $127,601.34 represents the projected range for the Deputy Chief should the City increase non-bargaining salaries between 2.5% and 3.0% leaving a rank separation between 2.38% and 2.85% 5. The Newark Police is routinely identified as the closest comparable to Dover Police a. $131,627.00 is the FY 21 compensation for a Newark Police Dept. Deputy Chief b. The compensation for the Newark Chief is approximately $10,000.00 more c. The Newark PD contract is due for re-negotiation in the coming weeks and a raise in pay is anticipated at all levels in January. d. A 2-3% raise would move the Newark Deputy Chief to $134,259.54-$135,575.81 6. Should the Council look favorably upon the proposed salary adjustments for both positions, the Chief’s salary would be proportional to its place in the State. a. Beginning in the next budget cycle, the other three Delaware large-agency Chiefs will receive compensation packages that range between $30,000 & $65,000 more than the Dover Chief. This is appropriate due to organizational size, service area, and populations served. b. The Dover Chief will earn only slightly more than their peer in Newark. This could also be viewed as appropriate based on the concept of organizational size, service area, and populations served as well as the additional variable of service to the law enforcement regulatory functions across the State of Delaware. c. A 4 - 5% cost of living differential was considered during this assessment (salary.com 4%) & (smartasset.com 5%)
