PRESENTATION - DOVER PUBLIC LIBRARY PRIME TIME FAMILY PROGRAM Mr. Brian Sylvester, Library Director, reviewed a presentation on the Prime Time Family program (Exhibit #1). Mr. Taylor asked if equity, hearing impaired, special needs, ESL, etc. was a part of the program. Responding, Mr. Sylvester advised that he believed it could be. He did not think any of the families that were in this session had any students that had those needs, but he believed that they could accommodate them if needed. Mr. Sylvester indicated that he thought it would be a good idea and that he would discuss it with that committee. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Sylvester advised that the program was run by a committee that was headed by Susan Elizabeth Cordell, the head of Youth Services. Two (2) of those committee members were community outreach people, Crystal Tompkins from Towne Point and Jennifer Lyle from East Dover. Mr. Sylvester stated that they did the bulk of the marketing and they tried to identify families that would benefit from the program and tried to get information into those families' hands. They would send the information home with the students or give them a call or those kind of things.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2021 PAGE 2 Mr. Rocha asked if the downtown community was being targeted. Responding, Mr. Sylvester advised that they were hoping to reach different schools and groups each time the program was run. He indicated that the focus was to identify and provide services to families that were at the poverty level. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sylvester stated that he did not know when the next session would begin; however he would find out and relay the information to members of Council. Mr. Neil asked if they had to eliminate any other programs to fit this program in. Responding, Mr. Sylvester noted that they were able to maintain the same list of programs they normally would. He also advised that the library was able to obtain grant funding for this program. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Sylvester advised that the first year had a little bit higher cost than following years and the first year was approximately $10,000. He noted that they expected the following years to be between $6,000 and $8,000, depending on whether or not they could get donations for food. PRESENTATION - LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEGAL SUPPORT FOR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUND Ms. Colleen Davis, Delaware State Treasurer, and Mr. Jordan Seemans, Director of Policy and Communications with the Office of the State Treasurer reviewed Local Government Legal Support for American Rescue Plan Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. Ms. Davis advised that she was connecting with all of the towns, including Dover, that were dispersed American Rescue Plan Act funds. She noted that it was her understanding that the Governor's office had logistic procurement of legal council for a number of non-entitlement units of government, or other towns that are not grant recipients, who had decided that they wanted to utilize this pooled resource in order to gain economies of scale, as well as unified legal counsel for a variety of different reasons. Ms. Davis explained that she wanted to ensure that the City of Dover was aware of this opportunity and the fact that the law firm was prepared and ready to support all that the City may need in determining how those funds could be utilized for US Treasury guidelines. Mr. Anderson noted that the City did not originally get the invitation to participate because it did not receive the funds directly from the State. He asked what the deadline was for joining with this particular group. Ms. Davis advised that, from the perspective of the legal council, they had set a date for the end of October, which is when the initial report was due to US treasury. They were hopeful that they could get support to all of the towns before that initial deadline. Mr. Anderson asked if the City Solicitor thought that this type of specialized experience would be valuable to the City. Responding, Mr. Nicholas Rodriguez, City Solicitor, stated that he thought it would. Mr. Neil asked what it would cost the City to participate and if it would be paid from ARPA funds. He noted that the City of Dover was shortchanged when it received $200 per capita versus $500 per

Paj 3

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2021 PAGE 3 capita for Middletown and Newark, which basically were smaller, and over $700 per capita for Wilmington. Mr. Seemans advised that a formula was devised in consultation with the office of the Governor and Ms. Claire Dematteis, the special assistant to the Governor on the disbursement of the ARPA funds of 0.4% or 0.004, that would be applied to non-entitlement units (NEUs) or municipalities’ total ARPA disbursement. Also, that amount would be 0.4% off of the total amount and it would be out of the second tranche numbers that would be coming in the spring to the City. He noted that no check was to be made from these NEUs to the State or to the Treasurer's office or to the Governor's office. However, with Dover's case, it was a unique situation because, unlike the 55 non-entitlement units, the City of Dover’s money was sent directly from the US treasury instead of passing through the State Treasurer's Office. It was Mr. Seemans’ understanding that a standalone agreement would have to be brokered between Barnes and Thornburg, the law firm that was under retainer from the State, and the City of Dover and that Mr. Matthew Harline, Interim City Manager, had a conversation with the law firm already. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Harline advised that he spoke with Mr. Thomas McGonigle of Barnes & Thornburg LLP that week and they would need to arrive at a separate agreement. Ms. Davis noted that once the City determined if it would like to participate, they would engage the legal counsel to submit an engagement letter to the City. Once that engagement letter was signed, then they would move forward with the process of ensuring that Dover was connected with the firm, that every question was answered, and that every opportunity to ensure that reporting was done properly and the funds were being spent appropriately to the City’s satisfaction. Mr. Seemans added that the US treasury just put out a change to the reporting deadlines for states, territories, counties, and cities and tribal governments. Those reports, for projects and expenditure data would be due January 31, 2022 and, for the NEUs, the new reporting deadline was April 30, 2022. Mr. Neil moved for Mr. Rodriguez, City Solicitor, to negotiate with Barnes & Thornburg and report back to City Council for action. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2021 PAGE 11 Grant (CDBG) Program Administrator, stated that she recommended using remaining CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation. She explained that there had to be a request for proposal (RFP) process for the items that were chosen in that agenda, and she suggested doing an RFP process for that rather than allocating funds to people that already submitted applications to be fair. Ms. Harvey noted that she would go back and look at the regulations again but she had glanced at them and did not think a riverwalk would be eligible as projects had to be related to COVID-19 and economic recovery. Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mr. Anderson stated that this item was created for members to give input on what they would like to see and priorities to be recommended as a framework to the Joint Subcommittee to Evaluate American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding Requests from Nonprofits. He explained that it would not lock them into specifics, it was just a generalized framework so the Committee could begin work. Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager, reviewed a memo regarding Use of City and State ARPA Funds that had been sent to Committee members earlier that day. He explained that the City had until December 31, 2025 to spend the ARPA funds. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Harline stated that the proposed site for the riverwalk had previously been a dump with trash buried under it. He explained that the City was currently working with compliance and environmental to study the area. Mr. Harline noted that there was a previous project to remediate that area because it was the old sewer treatment facility and the grounds department also used to be housed there. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Harline stated that he could get the list projects that the City was working on to review by the following week. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend the framework be adopted as a non- binding item to offer guidance to the subcommittee ahead of the budget.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Anderson stated that the motion was on whether or not the Committee wanted to adopt the framework presented but that it would have to be developed into a supplemental budget item which would come back before the Committee.

Discussion - Infrastructure Submissions for State Aid (Councilman Andre Boggerty) Mr. Boggerty briefed the Committee on a meeting he had attended with Mr. Harline, interim City Manager, Mayor Christiansen, and Governor John Carney regarding infrastructure submissions for State Aid. Mr. Harline stated that $8,619,257 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds had been allocated to the City of Dover because of the funding formula. There was also $932,000,000 in ARPA funds that went to the State for State projects and money went to the State to distribute to the cities on a per capita basis. He explained that, to the best of his knowledge, none of those monies had been absolutely allocated. Mr. Harline noted that the City had the projects he had described that night and the ones they were kicking around about Capital Green but staff operated on the direction of Council and it was his understanding that they would be having a debate and discussing whether or not to go forward with just infrastructure projects. He stated that during the meeting he had heard the Governor emphasizing the importance of housing. Mr. Harline explained that he had wanted to hear from the Council if they wanted to just offer the same projects that were described in the meeting with the Governor or if there were some important projects in housing that should be brought forward to him to continue the dialog. He noted that he was ready to bring whatever Council would like to the Governor to see if they could get a Cooperative Funding Project. Mr. Boggerty moved to recommend authorizing the Interim City Manager to send the housing projects that were discussed as well as any projects that, in his judgement, would fit the criteria to the Governor’s office and send a copy of what was sent to members of City Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Harline stated that he had never asked for $11,000,000 without going to Council for approval. He explained that there had been a wait because Councilman Anderson and Council were having deliberative discussions about how they wanted to distribute and use ARPA funds. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Anderson stated that the Information Technology (IT) Department’s request for $86,200 to cover the next two-years for cybersecurity and third-party non-profits requests would be sent to the Governor’s Office for consideration Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Anderson stated that if third-party non-profit requests did not come through from the Governor’s Office, they would be requests made for ARPA funding from the City of Dover, they would not be funded by City taxpayers.

Mr. Rocha, First District Councilman, reported that he had received a complaint of foxes sighted in Fox Hall West. He explained that the SPCA had referred him to the Office of Animal Control, who had referred the complainant to Critter Control which was a private company. Mr. Rocha noted that there was not an Homeowners Association (HOA) that would pay the cost associated with Critter Control and the complainant could not cover the cost they were quoted. He stated that he had given the complainant Police Chief Thomas Johnson’s email address and he would be reaching out to see if Dover Police Department may be able to assist. Mr. Rocha also reported on a complaint received about Mifflin Road on July 30, 2021 regarding trailer traffic that had increased. He explained that there were two signs but they were in a position where it would be too late to back the truck up and move. Mr. Rocha noted that he had been in conversation with Mrs. Sharon Duca, Public Works Director, about getting the signs moved or putting up new signs to make them more noticeable. He stated that the signs said no trucks over two axles with the exception of local services, so he needed to find out what the definition of local services was moving forward so there would not be a grey area. Mr. Rocha explained that the complaint also included speeding in excess of 40 miles per hour which he had

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2021 PAGE 16 referred to Mrs. Duca and Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager. He noted that Mifflin Road was a State Road so Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) must be involved. Mr. Rocha stated that Mrs. Duca had put in a request for Dover Police Department to conduct a speed study on the road. Mr. Taylor, Second District Councilman, reported that the issue of overgrowth around the waterways and tributaries he had brought forward previously had been taken care of and thanked Mrs. Duca, Mr. Harline and Mr. Hugg for getting it cleaned up. He explained that he and Mr. Hare had received complaints of PODS sitting in people’s driveways for an excessive amount of time. Mr. Taylor noted that he was not sure of how long they could be there but asked that staff look into it. Mr. Hare, Second District Councilman, reported that he had received a complaint about a tractor trailer parked on New Burton Road. He also noted that while it was not in the Second District, there were also trailers parking on the south side of Webbs Lane and leaving the trucks running. Mr. Hare explained that the south side of Webbs Lane was either the State or Camden’s territory so he was not sure if there was anything the City could do about it. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mayor Christiansen stated that Dover Police Department was trying to get the tractor trailers to move because they were parking all over the City. He also noted he had reached out to the State of Delaware Police Troop three (3) commander regarding Webbs Lane and they would be trying to get the trailers to move along and let them know they can’t park along those streets. Mrs. Arndt, Third District Councilwoman, reported that she had attended an tree ordinance webinar. She noted that Mrs. Duca had mentioned that the Forest Service had provided an overview and analysis of the Bradford Street tree project and there were several recommendations in the packet. Mrs. Arndt stated that she would like to ask staff to evaluate drafting a tree ordinance to codify some of the recommendations within the Forest Service’s report. Mr. Anderson, Fourth District Councilman, reported that there were visibility and security concerns downtown in the Reed, New, and Queen Street areas that included maintenance of some of the foliage there. He noted that there were also concerns with sidewalk maintenance on West Division Street between State Street to Kirkwood Street. Mr. Anderson stated that the sidewalk on the north side had deteriorated so greatly that parts of it were almost gravel and asked that staff take a look at it. Mr. Sudler, Fourth District Councilman, reported that he would be contacting Mr. Anderson later in the week to discuss preparing for a Fourth District town hall meeting to gain a pulse on current environmental issues that were reducing their community’s well-being by October 28, 2021.

He noted that there had also been a question of who was supposed to cut the grass by General Foods and it was taken care of. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Harline stated that the school board believed it was the State’s responsibility to cut the grass so he would talk with the State about it. Mr. Rocha stated that he had the opportunity to visit the Hope Center in New Castle and they were willing to assist the City if it decided to do something similar. He noted that if it pleased Council, a time could be set up to do a site visit. Mr. Neil stated that he had been waiting to hear when there would be a ceremony for the new smart lighting system and asked that he be informed of what was happening and when the event would be held. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated that there had been some technical issues with the lighting system but he was 99.9% sure it would be ready for the first Friday in November 2021. Mr. Hare stated that he had heard from residents that were not in favor of a proposal to bring something to the Delaware Auto Sales building on Division Street and mentioned that they may want to contact those constituents as it was within the Fourth District.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2021 PAGE 19 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee reconvened with Chairman Anderson presiding. City of Dover Impact and Permit Fees - Capital School District (Matt Harline, Interim City Manager) Mr. Matt Harline, Interim City Manager, briefed the Committee on the ongoing discussion regarding Impact and Permit Fees regarding Capital School District. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Harline stated that the City was working on an amicable solution to avoid the School District triggering the mediation that was provided for in the State Code. He noted that they were making progress but they were not there yet. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Harline stated that per the Code, the City was not allowed to charge anything except for what was directly related to the additional growth. He explained that staff was trying to get a definition of what the final populations of the buildings were going to be and were waiting to receive that information from the school district. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Harline stated that the use of “administrative” is usually an oversight, while the staff at the front desk does take the calls and filling out permits, the inspectors that go one site are a part of the actual cost so it wasn’t cut and dry and that was why they were trying to work out an amicable solution without having to go to mediation. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Harline stated that the City would most likely have to pay if this went to mediation and generally everyone pays half. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Harline stated that staff was going to develop a memorandum of understanding that explicitly stated that if the school district sold the building to a charter school or another business down the line, the new impact fees would have to come to the City to offset what was forgiven. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Harline stated that staff was going to try to estimate based off the school district’s long-term plan and revisit this annually. He noted that they were going to try to make this as unburdensome on staff as possible without giving away City funds. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Harline stated that the school district was building two (2) buildings but they were not adding total student body. The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee was adjourned by

Cole) By consent agenda, Mr. Hare moved for approval of the appointments, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen, seconded by Mr. Neil and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2021-22 Council President Sudler 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 November 8, 2021. Mr. David Hugg III, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised that most of the City’s fire fines and fees had not been updated in the last six (6) to 12 years and they did not represent or cover current personnel and other costs. He also noted that they did not act as a significant deterrent to people who chose to ignore them and in some cases, they were not in compliance with similar state codes and ordinances. Mr. Hugg stated that the provisions in the Dover Code were not consistent with State fire code or with the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Section 101, definitions of what public assemblies were. He advised that he and the Fire Marshal, Mr. Jason Osika, reviewed the various provisions of the Charter and Code that relate to the Fire Marshal's operations to recommend improvements, corrections, and revisions in a multiple step process. Mr. Hugg advised that the proposed ordinance updated all of the definitions of public assembly to match the NFPA 101 and increased the fines and fees appropriately for the new categories. Mr. Hugg noted that the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee recommended amendments to the ordinance. He stated that the Committee and staff amendments were indicated in green text in the ordinance. Mr. Hugg reviewed the proposed amendments as follows:

Paj 22

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 2021 PAGE 22 • There was a concern that the increase in fees for daycares, particularly small daycares, might prove an economic detriment to them being established in Dover, particularly as a result of COVID. People are trying to find work and adequate daycare was a critical component. Staff reviewed how daycares were addressed in the zoning ordinance and found three places where two of them relate to child daycare and family home daycare operations, and one relates to small adult daycare operations. Staff is recommending that the fee be revised to $50 from the original request of $100 to accommodate those activities. • There was a concern at the Committee meeting regarding the fees charged for small assemblies such as churches, social groups, or civic organizations. Staff has established a category for small places of public assembly of less than 75 occupants without a fee and for places greater than 75 occupants, the new fee would take effect. Mr. Hugg noted that the new fees and fines would take effect upon adoption of the ordinance and the changes in the application fees would be effective with the new year or with a totally new application. It would be phased in and would not be retroactive to effect existing businesses that had fire permits in place. Mr. Anderson moved for approval of the Committee and Staff amendments, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. 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 #2021-22 Amending Chapter 46 - Fire Prevention and Protection, Article IV - Public Occupancies, Section 164 - Fees REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1427 NEW BURTON ROAD - FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2021-25 A request was received to rezone property located at 1427 New Burton Road, consisting of 1.0487+/- acres, owned by New Burton Storage, LLC.
