Item #1. Z-21-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning PC Recommendation Report of September 19, 2022 Page 2 Planning Commission Recommendation: The Application Z-22-02 for Rezoning of Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church consisting of 25 acres on Forrest Avenue was represented by Jim Ericksen (project engineer at Solutions IPEM) and LB Steele (representative of equitable owner Leander Lakes III, LLC), and with two representatives of the property owner Calvary Baptist Church also present. A Public Hearing was conducted on September 19, 2022 where no members of the public spoke regarding the Rezoning application. The Planning Commission’s motion to recommend approval of the proposed Rezoning from R-10/COZ-1 to RM-2/COZ-1 resulted in a 9-0 vote in favor. (Draft Meeting Minutes attached.) APPLICATION: Z-22-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue This Rezoning Application was referred to the Planning Commission as per Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 §5. The Planning Commission is required to provide a Review Report to City Council. I. APPLICATION SUMMARY This Rezoning Application focuses on part of a parcel of land consisting of 25 acres (overall existing parcel is 75.521 acres +/-). The property is zoned R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and partially subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning for the 25 acres is RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) and partially subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the south side Forrest Avenue west of Dover High Drive. The owner of record is Calvary Baptist Church of Dover. The equitable owner is Leander Lakes III, LLC. Property Address: 2285 Forrest Avenue. Tax Parcel: Part of ED-05-075.00-01-06.00-000. Council District 1. Ordinance #2022-11. Existing Property: With the overall 75.51-acre property, the property has frontage on Forrest Avenue (Route 8) and Artis Drive, but the main site access is from Forest Avenue. The property is crossed by a small stream and includes woodlands, wetlands, and agricultural lands. In the northeast corner of the site, a place of worship (church) building has been approved under Conditional Use Site Plan C- 19-06. The proposed building sits back over 625 feet from Forrest Avenue with a large stormwater management area directly adjacent to the road. The building location is flanked by parking areas on the east side of the building. There is a large open space in front of the proposed building reserved for a future building expansion. There are large expanses of open land on the tract to the southern and western portions of the property. This Rezoning application only seeks rezoning of the property from R-10 to RM-2 for an area of 25-acres located in the southeastern portion of the property. The area is not proposed for development under C-19-06 with the exception of a utility line connection that crosses through the Page 8

Item #1. Z-21-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning PC Recommendation Report of September 19, 2022 Page 3 area. The COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) designation will remain along the Forrest Avenue corridor frontage of the entire property. Previous Applications: The property was annexed into the City in early 2007 along with several other properties on the west side of the City following the annexation of the Carey Farm for the site of the new Dover High School (AX-06-09). At the time of annexation, the property was zoned to R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) and COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). Prior to annexation into the City of Dover, the Calvary Baptist Church completed a Site Plan review process under the jurisdiction of Kent County (CS-03-08). That Plan was then accepted by the City through Administrative Site Plan review (MI-07-07). A Building Permit (#07-547) for construction of the church building was issued but not acted upon and then expired. Most recently, the overall 75-acre property is subject of Conditional Use Site Plan Application C-19-06 Calvary Baptist Church for construction of a new place of worship and associated site improvements including a site entrance from Forrest Avenue. The Conditional Use Site Plan received conditional approval by the Planning Commission at their July 15, 2019 meeting, an extension of plan approval on May 17, 2021, and Final Plan Approval in December 2021. Preparations for the start of construction are occurring as the Building Permit is under review. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding parcels are zoned residential. Located to the north across Forrest Avenue (Route 8) are a series of lots with single family homes which are outside City limits and under the jurisdiction of Kent County. To the east is the Destiny Christian Church which has access to Forrest Avenue. A second church, Dover Christian Church, also fronts on Forrest Avenue but has access from Dover High Drive. Adjoining the subject site to the southeast, there is multi- family development for 240 apartment units known as Leander Lakes (S-12-18). To the south is agricultural land and to the west are single family homes and a Par-3 golf course along Artis Drive within Kent County. II. COMPRENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE REVIEW In the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan (Map 12-1) recommends that this property be used for Residential Land Uses as Residential Medium density. The assumptions, goals and polices for Residential Land Uses Areas are listed in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan excerpts presented below (pages 12-2 and 12-3): Assumptions: Residential Land Uses 1. With the high cost of housing, it is essential to the economic well-being of the community to provide for a range of housing opportunities for all income levels and age groups. 2. A more efficient and effective interior circulation pattern within residential areas will provide improved traffic circulation, school bus access, service delivery access, emergency response services access, and alternative access points. These elements can help foster a greater sense of community among residents while providing them with greater convenience. Page 9

Item #1. Z-21-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning PC Recommendation Report of September 19, 2022 Page 4 3. A more efficient and effective residential development pattern can be achieved by encouraging the development of land closer to existing neighborhoods, making the delivery of police, fire, ambulance, sanitation, school transportation, sewer, water, and electric services easier and less expensive. 4. Proper separation of incompatible land uses through physical distance and buffering creates stronger neighborhoods. Goals: Residential Land Uses To develop and maintain an adequate supply of housing of varying type, size, and densities that are aesthetically pleasing and located within neighborhoods designed or redesigned to promote convenience, conservation, and access to the greater community, but which are properly buffered through distance and landscaping from incompatible land uses. Policies: Residential Land Uses • Allow flexibility in housing styles and types while regulating gross density within residential developments. • Require linkage streets and sidewalks between adjoining residential subdivisions and street right-of way stubs to adjoining vacant developable land. • Encourage the separation of residential areas from incompatible uses through buffering distances and the use of transitional zoning categories. • Encourage high density residential development in infill areas that are near essential services, public transit, and employment opportunities. • Permit limited compatible neighborhood commercial uses that support surrounding residences within residential areas. The following is an excerpt from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan regarding Residential Medium Density land uses (pages 12-4 and 12-5): Recommendation for Residential Medium Density Residential Medium Density land uses involve a maximum gross density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre. This type of development may include single family houses on smaller lots, duplexes, townhouses, and some apartments. Some Manufactured Home Park developments would also be considered Residential Medium Density. Medium density residential uses are permitted in the following zoning districts: R-8 (One Family Residence Zone), R-7 (One Family Residence Zone), RM-1 (Medium Density Residence Zone), RM- 2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) planned to reflect the historic patterns and mix of land uses common to Dover’s early development, RG-1 (General Residence Zone), RG-2 (General Residence Zone), RG-3 (Group Housing Zone), RGO (General Residence and Office Zone), and MH (Manufactured Housing Zone). Page 10

Item #1. Z-21-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning PC Recommendation Report of September 19, 2022 Page 5 The Land Development Plan recommends that Residential Medium Density uses be permitted near existing and planned service and employment centers and in locations well supported by transportation infrastructure and mass transit services. Areas identified as Medium Density Residential can be looked at as potential receiving areas under a transfer of development rights program. Areas in the northern portion of the city are appropriate for Residential Medium Density development. West Side Neighborhood: Residential Medium Density Residential Medium Density development on the West Side tends to be located to the periphery of the area where both existing development, ongoing development and vacant lands are found. These areas are buffered by older residential areas and public/institutional uses but could be impacted by traffic and circulation concerns driven by commercial activities along the two major roadways, Route 8/Forest Avenue and McKee/Scarborough Road. Existing mix of housing types such as in the Village of Westover Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) and Village of Cannon Mill Planned Neighborhood Design (PND) are nearing the end of construction in those developments. A newer development, Chestnut Grove Farms has started construction and will build a variety of single-family detached homes, duplexes, and townhouses. The Rezoning Request to RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) is consistent with the Land Use Classification of Residential Medium Density. Table 12-1: Land Use and Zoning Matrix (from the 2019 Comprehensive Plan) specifies that the following zones are compatible with this Land Use classification. See the excerpt from Table 12-1 given below. It is noted that the Residential Medium Density Land Use Category identifies a number of zoning districts that allow for a mix of residential unit types. R-10 (One Family Residence) R-8 (One Family Residence) R-7 (One Family Residence) RM-1 (Medium Density Residence) RM-2 (Medium Density Residence) Residential Medium Density RG-1 (General Residence) RG-2 (General Residence) RG-3 (Group Housing) RGO (General Residence and Office) MH (Manufactured Housing) C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) III. ZONING REVIEW Request for RM-2 (Limited Central Commercial Zone) Zoning The following description of the RM-2 zoning district is provided from Article 3 §7 of the Zoning Ordinance. Page 11

Item #1. Z-21-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning PC Recommendation Report of September 19, 2022 Page 7 (a) Superior urban design places a strict and primary importance on the pedestrian. The concept should lend itself to interconnectivity while presenting building structures as aspects of the street, not simply islands existing in the "sea of roads". The design should encourage fewer car-trips, as well as promote automobile trips on an interconnected local street system rather than trips that utilize the arterials. In demonstrating superior urban design, an applicant must show that the plan presented exceeds the requirements of the zoning ordinance in at least two of the following areas: (i) Transportation amenities for bicycles, pedestrians and transit that exceed those required by the zoning ordinance; (ii) Architectural features including, but not limited to: LEED-certified buildings; unique architecture not replicated in other locations; use of architectural elements such as entry porticos, porte-cocheres, colonnades, cornices, porch columns and balusters, band courses, coins, water tables and other trim that enhances visual quality and function of the structure; and use of the highest-quality construction materials. (iii) Landscaping that exceeds the requirements of this section, including robust use of trees, shrubbery, and flowering plants to screen parked cars; water gardens and ponds; arboretums; tree preservation measures; (iv) Public spaces and art including, but not limited to, sculpture, memorials, murals, public court yards and pocket parks, and fountains; (v) Green technologies for stormwater management, as well as green energy technologies such as geothermal heating and cooling and solar energy supplies. (b) The city planner shall develop policy guidance on how the concept of superior urban design will be evaluated. 27.3 Zone boundaries. The COZ encompasses the lands adjacent to the following roadways as outlined on the City of Dover Zoning Map as set forth in article 2, section 2 of this ordinance: (a) Delaware Route 8 (Forrest and Division Streets) from the railroad tracks in a westerly direction to the city limit line. (b) McKee/Saulsbury Road (County Road 156) from the intersection at Dennys Road (County Road 100) in a southerly direction to the terminal intersection with West North Street (County Road 73). 27.4 Permitted uses. Land use shall be governed by those provisions of this ordinance related to the specific zoning district designations of each property as depicted on the zoning map. 27.5 Site development plan approval. Site development plan approval in accordance with article 10, section 2 shall be required prior to the issuance of building permits for the erection or enlargement of all structures and prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any change in use. When the zoning district regulations specify that a particular use requires conditional use approval in accordance with article 10, section 1, the provisions of that article shall apply. Site development plans and conditional use site plans for properties within the COZ shall reflect compliance with the development guidelines of this article, in addition to all other applicable codes and regulations. 27.6 Development guidelines. 27.61 Setbacks: Page 13

(c) Minimum road frontage shall be at least 100 feet. In the C-3 (service commercial) district, the minimum road frontage shall be 150 feet. 27.69 Architectural review. The side of any building which faces the corridor (or corridors) shall be referred to as the "corridor elevation." Buildings in the COZ-1 shall be designed to front on the corridor, and the corridor elevation shall contain architectural elements traditionally associated with the front of a building. Blank walls without functioning windows are prohibited along the corridor. Windows must be incorporated into the overall design concept of the corridor elevation. Providing one or several small windows on a large corridor elevation shall not constitute compliance with this ordinance. A "functioning window" shall be defined as a window which lets light into the interior of the structure, and is integrated and related to the interior layout of the space. In addition to functioning windows, the corridor elevation shall have the following elements: (a) A primary entrance door or doors (except for loading doors). (b) A primary entrance feature, such as a porch, portico, awning, entrance walk, or other similar feature. In addition, the corridor elevation shall have one of the following elements: (a) Landscaping integrated into the building design concept. (b) Architectural or urban design elements which link adjacent structures together, such as plazas, walkways, colonnades, or similar features. (c) Architectural relief, such as vertical and horizontal offsets in exterior wall elevations, band courses, lintels and sill courses, cornices, and the like, to create shadow lines. The applicant shall submit 12 copies of the corridor elevation at the time of application. The city planner or his/her designee shall determine whether compliance with the provisions of this ordinance has been achieved. 27.7 Properties located on a corner lot with two frontages within the Corridor Overlay Zone. When a property is located on the corner of two corridors within the Corridor Overlay Zone, only one of the two corridors shall be subject to the requirements of Section 27.61 Setbacks and Section 27.63 Parking, Subsection (a) Location. The frontage of the property on which the identifiable front of the building is located shall be the frontage that is subject to the requirements of Section 27.61 And Section 27.63, Subsection (a). In designing the site, in order to qualify for the relief under this subsection, the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the planning commission that the design incorporates the principles of superior urban design as defined in Section 27.2. IV. RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING STAFF: This Request is to rezone lands from R-10 (One Family Residence Zone) to RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone). While both zones are residential in nature, the R-10 zone only allows single family detached dwelling units. The RM-2 zone consists of a great variety of housing types including one-family residences (detached dwellings and duplex units), apartments and multiplex dwellings (more than 2 dwelling units in same building). Both zones allow for Page 17

Item #1. Z-21-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue: Rezoning PC Recommendation Report of September 19, 2022 Page 12 consideration of a series of uses through a Conditional Use review process for uses like places of worship, schools, and other institutional activities. Staff recommends that the Rezoning be granted to RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) while retaining the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) as requested for the 25-acre area, as the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Residential Medium Density land use classification. The RM-2 allows for different housing types and a higher (but limited to 8 dwelling units per acre) density of units. It also is adjacent to other residential areas also zoned RM-2 and developed with apartment units. The balance of the property (~50-acres) will remain at the R-10 zone a portion of which is approved for development as place of worship (Church). The Forrest Avenue/Route 8 corridor is a main east-west roadway that approaches the city from the west. This area is generally the western boundary of the city and this point of transition from rural areas has been generally developed for residential uses and the institutional uses of several places of public assembly (churches) and the Dover High School campus. There is existing infrastructure for water, sanitary sewer, and electric services that can be extended to serve development and the police, fire, and emergency medical services service the area. Staff also recommends that the property remain subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) due to its frontage on Forrest Avenue. The purposes of the COZ-1 are to promote superior urban corridor development; to foster coordination and linkage among corridor properties; to preserve functionality and efficiency of the roadway for traffic movement; and to achieve a visually balanced streetscape environment friendly to the pedestrian and motorist. (Zoning Ordinance, Article 3 §27). The design and landscaping requirements of the COZ-1 can enhance the appearance along the corridor. This Rezoning Request does not grant approval of a specific use for the property but makes its land use subject to a listing of uses permitted and potential conditional uses as allowed in the RM-2 zoning district. Staff notes that any potential development for the subject rezoning area would have to be in line with the zoning classification and would similarly have to follow all development design guidelines of the Zoning Ordinance. Were the Application for Rezoning to be recommended by the Planning Commission and subsequently approved by the City Council, the applicant would still have to submit Site Development Plans and/or Subdivision Plans and Permits for review for any new use of the site to be established. This recommendation is being made without that benefit of hearing the comments of surrounding landowners and residents. A public hearing is required on this matter and the Planning Commission should give those comments consideration. IV. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW FOR RECOMMENDATION This Rezoning Application is a request for a zoning map amendment which changes the zoning district of a property. The Planning Commission as part of their public hearing and review process will provide a recommendation on the rezoning request to City Council. As part of the process outlined in Zoning Ordinance, Article 10 Section 5, the Planning Commission must evaluate the following factors when considering the request: Page 18

NEW APPLICATIONS Z-22-02 Part of Lands of Calvary Baptist Church of Dover at 2285 Forrest Avenue – Public Hearing and Review for Recommendation to City Council for a rezoning application for part of a parcel of land consisting of 25 acres (overall existing parcel is 75.521 acres +/-). The property is zoned R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and partially subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The proposed zoning for the 25 acres is RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) and partially subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The property is located on the south side Forrest Avenue west of Dover High Drive. The owner of record is Calvary Baptist Church of Dover. The equitable owner is Leander Lakes III, LLC. Property Address: 2285 Forrest Avenue. Tax Parcel: Part of ED-05-075.00-01-06.00-000. Council District 1. Ordinance #2022-11. This property was subject to Conditional Use Site Plan Application C-19-06 which received Conditional Approval by the Planning Commission at their July 2019 meeting, and Final Plan Approval in December 2021. Representatives: Mr. Jim Eriksen, Solutions IPEM; Rev. Dr. Charles Fletcher, representative of landowner, Calvary Baptist Church; Mr. L.B. Steele, Leander Lakes III, LLC Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that this is an application filed by Leander Lakes III, LLC. The property owner is the Calvary Baptist Church of Dover. The subject property that we are dealing with is the parcel that is located at 2285 Forrest Avenue. It is depicted on the screen in yellow. The entire tract is 75.521 acres; however, this Rezoning is the area of 25 acres which is shown in a hatched configuration. It does kind of look like an upside-down flag at the moment, so we are just focused on that 25-acre area. The present zoning of the overall property is R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone) and the frontage of the parcel is subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone). The applicant is making a request to take the 25-acre area to the zoning of RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) with the front portion remaining to subject to the COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) and then the balance of the acreage would remain R-10 (One-Family Residence Zone). With a Rezoning Request, we have to look at the Comprehensive Plan. The Report includes the Goals and Policies related to residential land-use activities. Specifically in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Plan Map 12-1 identifies that this property should be utilized for the residential land use of Residential Medium Density. The Comprehensive Plan Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2022 Page 1 of 3 Page 34

Item #1. goes on to identify those zones that would comply with that land-use category of Medium Density Residential; and the RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) is one of that collection. This property is in general, the western boundary area of the City in this location. The tract was originally annexed into the city back in 2007 shortly after the Annexation that brought in the land area that became the new Dover High School Complex. Adjoining this property, there is a church location, there is an existing apartment complex known as Leander Lakes that already carries with it that RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone). For the subject parcel itself, Planning Commission members may remember a Conditional Use Site Plan Development C-19- 06 for the Calvary Baptist Church of Dover to construct a new place of worship. That plan is still in place, and they are working on permitting for that at this point. This Rezoning is in the balance of the property where development of that new place of worship is not proposed. With the Rezoning, the Report includes information on the zoning district. This will focus on just the zoning change. Any future development of the tract of land would be subject to a separate review and approval process. The Planning Staff is recommending the rezoning to RM-2 (Medium Density Residence Zone) with retaining that COZ-1 (Corridor Overlay Zone) for the 25 acres be approved, finding that it is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan for that Residential Medium Density Land-Use Classification. The Route 8 Corridor is a major east/west roadway and adjoining areas have been developed for larger and higher scale density both on the institutional side and residential side of things. There is an existing infrastructure and service capabilities in the area. Tonight, the Planning Commission is to hear from the applicant, conduct its public hearing and then they will be making a recommendation in regards to the Rezoning. Specifically, the Planning Commission needs to evaluate the three factors that are outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. Just in summary, it’s whether the use is permitted by the proposed change and would be compatible with the existing uses and zones in the area; whether there is adequate public services and infrastructure; and whether the proposed change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The other agencies participating in our Development Advisory Committee voiced no objection to the Rezoning. Some of them also referenced should redevelopment occur that there will ultimately be other things to be considered. Mr. Eriksen stated that Staff did a fantastic job of putting together a comprehensive report, so he won’t speak long. He did put together a few things, mostly visuals. One thing that he does want to point out is the transition in use that they left with the requested Rezoning. They left over 400 feet off the building and over 300 feet off improvements with the church so that should be plenty of space to allow that transition use. The next slide shows the general area, and you can see that it is a minor arterial per DelDOT’s classification and along there in the vicinity of the project there is existing Medium High Density Residential land uses. There is a high school that was previously mentioned as well as some commercial uses. There is going to be a future church and there is an existing church as well as existing apartments already there right next door that already have this zoning designation. The next slide shows the map with the site that indicates that this was intended per the Comprehensive Plan to be a Medium Density Residential area. The next slide shows the Investment Level Area based on the State Spending Strategies; it’s an Area (Level) 1 and 2. Basically it coincides with a site that you would expect to be developed. When you take all of this in combination with Staff’s Report, they indicated that they believe it matches up well with the Comprehensive Plan and he believes that it meets all conditions. They will be here for any questions. Mrs. Maucher opened a public hearing. Excerpt of Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 19, 2022 Page 2 of 3 Page 35

PROCLAMATION – CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH 2022 The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, we recognize the vital role that technology has in our daily lives and the future of the City of Dover. Today many citizens, schools, libraries, businesses, and other organizations use the Internet for a variety of tasks, including keeping in contact with family and friends, managing personal finances, performing research, enhancing education, and conducting business. Critical sectors are increasingly reliant on information systems to support financial services, energy, telecommunications, transportation, utilities, healthcare, and emergency response systems; and WHEREAS, Internet users and our information infrastructure face increased threats of malicious cyber-attacks, invasion of privacy from spyware and adware, and significant financial and personal privacy loss due to identity theft and fraud. The National Cyber Security Alliance’s 2022 Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, “See Yourself in Cyber” encourages a risk-based approach and focuses on the behaviors that are most important to the organization; and WHEREAS, Keep your data protected by practicing the basics of cybersecurity: such as enabling multifactor authentications, using strong unique passwords, keeping your software up to date, and installing anti-virus programs are ways you can protect yourself; and Page 38

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 3 WHEREAS, the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. The campaign serves as the national cybersecurity public awareness campaign, implemented through a coalition of private companies, nonprofits, government organizations, and academic institutions working together to increase the public’s understanding of cyber threats and empower Americans to be safer and more secure online; and WHEREAS, Delaware’s DigiKnow Campaign is aimed at increasing the understanding of cyber threats and empowering the public to be safer and more secure online. Maintaining the security of cyberspace is a shared responsibility in which each of us has a critical role, and awareness of computer security essentials will improve the security of the City of Dover’s information infrastructure and economy. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE do hereby proclaim October 2022 as Cybersecurity Awareness Month in the City of Dover and urges all citizens to learn about cybersecurity and put that knowledge into practice. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Larry Josefowski, IT Director for the City of Dover. PROCLAMATION – FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2022 The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the City of Dover is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those living in and visiting our City, and fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally. The National Fire Protection Association’s 2022 Fire Prevention Week theme is, “Fire Won’t Wait, Plan Your Escape”. The goal of Fire Prevention Week is to raise fire safety awareness and to help ensure your home and family are protected. In 1922, The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) named the second week of October, Fire Prevention Week in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire (October 8 – October 10 in 1871) which burned through the city of Chicago, destroying large areas of land, killing over 300 citizens, and leaving thousands of people homeless. Fire Prevention Week is the longest-running US public health observance on record; and WHEREAS, according to NFPA data, home, the place people feel safest from fire, is where they are at the greatest risk, with three-quarters (74 percent) of all U.S. fire deaths occurring in homes. When a home fire does occur, it is more likely to be serious; people are more likely to die in a home fire today than they were in 1980. Today’s homes burn faster and hotter than they used to, which minimizes the amount of time they have to escape safely. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as two minutes to get out from the time the smoke alarms sound. Test smoke alarms once a month and replace them after 10 years, as recommended by the United States Fire Administration; and WHEREAS, make sure your home escape plan, meet the needs of your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities. Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so that when one sounds, they all sound. Know at least two ways out of every room. Make sure all doors and windows open easily. Have an outside meeting place, that is a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet. Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and Page 39

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 4 once at night. We come together now to recognize the threat posed by fire, honor the lives claimed each year, and recommit to preventing fires in our homes. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim October 9th – 15th, 2022 as Fire Prevention Week in the City of Dover and urge residents to develop a home escape plan with all members of the household and practice it regularly to ensure that everyone knows what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen and Councilman Taylor presented the proclamation to City of Dover Fire Chief David Carey. PROCLAMATION – NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH 2022 The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, change is constant in every community and affects all of us, and community planning can help manage change in a way that provides better choices for how people work and live. Community planning provides an opportunity for all residents to be involved in making choices that determine the future of their community; and WHEREAS, the American Planning Association and its professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners, endorse National Community Planning Month as an opportunity to highlight the contributions sound planning, and plan implementation make to the quality of our communities and environment; and WHEREAS, community planning provides an opportunity for all residents to be meaningfully involved in making choices that determine the future of their community. The full benefit of planning requires public officials and citizens who understand, support, and demand excellence in planning and plan implementation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2022 as Community Planning Month in the City of Dover and encourage all citizens to join me in recognizing the participation and dedication of the staff of the City of Dover Department of Planning and Inspections, members of the City of Dover Planning Commission, the valuable contributions made by other community and regional planners and our partner agencies at the State and County levels. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the continued commitment to public service by these professionals and private citizens. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Mary Ellen Gray, Planning Director, and Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner for the City of Dover. PROCLAMATION – HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT 2022 The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, the children of the City of Dover enjoy the fun and festivities associated with the observance of the Halloween Trick-or-Treat custom, emerging from their homes as ghosts, witches, princesses, cartoon characters, caped crusaders, or action heroes and traveling with friends and family door to door throughout the neighborhood to gather treats; and Page 40

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 5 WHEREAS, Children ages 12 and under may participate in Trick-or-Treating in small groups, ages will be strictly enforced. Parents must accompany their children throughout their journeys in celebrating Halloween Trick-or-Treat. Motorists are urged to drive with extra caution and to be ever watchful of our youngsters making their rounds; and WHEREAS, it is requested that residents indicate their willingness to welcome children by keeping their porch or exterior lights on and that youngsters call only on homes that are lighted. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim that the Halloween Trick-or-Treat observance be held on Monday, the 31st day of October 2022, between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. in the City of Dover and urge all residents, both young and old, to make this a happy and safe occasion for our children. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Miss Lilliana Burgos. PROCLAMATION – HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH 2022 The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, throughout our history, our Nation has been enriched by the storied past of all who call the United States of America home. During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor all American citizens of Hispanic descent and celebrate their rich and vibrant traditions of faith, family, hard work, and patriotism. America's Hispanic community has woven unique threads into the fabric of our country with their spirit, energy, and leadership. Hispanic Americans have played an important role in shaping our national character. We are grateful for the innumerable contributions they make to our society, which are vital to our thriving Nation; and WHEREAS, as a Nation, we are bound by our shared ideals. America's Hispanic community has the same dreams, values, trials, and triumphs as people in every corner of our country, and they show the same grit and determination that have carried us forward for centuries. During National Hispanic Heritage Month, let us renew our commitment to honor the invaluable ways Hispanic Americans contribute to our common goals, to celebrate Hispanic culture, and to work toward a stronger, more inclusive, and more prosperous society for all; and WHEREAS, the 2022 National Hispanic Heritage Month theme, “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation,” invites all Hispanics in the City of Dover community to celebrate Hispanic Heritage and to reflect on how great our tomorrow can be if we hold onto our resilience and hope. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim September 15 through October 15, 2022, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Rony Baltazar Lopez from the Delaware Hispanic Heritage Commission. Page 41

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 6 PRESENTATION – ELECTRIC RATES AND BILLING UPDATE Ms. Patricia Marney, Customer Service Director, presented a PowerPoint Presentation giving an overview of the rate increase and billing. (Exhibit #1). Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Peddicord clarified that it is not a deficit, it was an increase in power supply cost that was recognized between Fiscal Year 2022 and Fiscal Year 2023. Ms. Peddicord explained that the difference between those two years of spending just on power supply is $41 million. Ms. Peddicord stated that the city is not in the negative but comparing one year against the other, the city is $3 million higher than we were last year at this point. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney explained that it is too early to predict how the difference correlates with the increase from the PCA that was implemented, by the end of Fiscal Year 2023. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Peddicord explained that they have monthly meetings with the Energy Authority and sometimes they mention that prices have gone down slightly, but then spike back up. Ms. Peddicord further explained that it is a bit early in the fiscal year to have an idea. Ms. Peddicord referenced the schedule that was presented showed the difference in cost year after year and that it showed there was an increase in the cost that was recognized and passed through to the citizens with the PCA debit. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney stated that there is no way to gather day-to-day readings because they would have to be calculated manually. Ms. Marney explained that there is a reading and billing schedule that bills 2000 to 3000 accounts a day. Ms. Marney further explained that the meter readers go out into the field and read 2000 to 3000 accounts with endpoints that could be doubled. Ms. Marney noted that the accounts will be billed the following day; however, they go out on a reading schedule once a month. Ms. Marney further explained a specific route, and that when someone looks at their utility bill at the top next to the account number, there is a route cycle number. Ms. Marney stated that the cycle route shows when a specific account is being read and billed on the monthly schedule. Ms. Marney continued that the billing schedule could fluctuate due to holidays and weekends. Ms. Marney stated that they are implementing a new utility billing system and there could be training days that impact that date and cause some fluctuation. Ms. Marney noted that the policy is not to go over two days, but this could be impacted by holidays or if there is bad weather. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney explained that meter readers used to use handheld books when gathering data, however, they now use a handheld reader that works using radio waves. Ms. Marney stated the handheld device communicates with the meter, both water, and electric meters. Ms. Marney continued to state that the usage is measured and compared over the course of the month, not broken down by day. So basically, with our current system, it is not feasible, I will use that word, to be able to, unless we applied the PCA to the next billing cycle instead of the July 1st cutoff, if that makes any sense. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Marney explained that she would not recommend applying the PCA to the next billing cycle instead of the July 1st cutoff. Ms. Marney further explained that historically if you look back at prior billing periods, you had that same timing difference. Ms. Marney stated that she reached out to several local utilities and found that anyone who was using Page 42

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 7 an AMR system typically billed based on the bill date. Ms. Marney stated that the City of Dover is operating within the industry standards for billing with the AMR system. Ms. Marney explained that those who are using the AMI system have a better ability to prorate their rates but there are many reasons that we are not using that system. Ms. Marney stated that it is in the long-term plan to convert to AMI, however, she does not have an exact date. Ms. Marney explained that Milford is a local community where AMI was instituted, and they are still dealing with issues. Ms. Marney further explained that the City of Milford uses our current billing system and that they have water meters, as an example, that is inside some basements. Ms. Marney stated that the City has to run concurrently an AMI system and an AMR system because they have not been able to access those homes to change out the meters that are in the basements. Ms. Marney noted that there is a lot that goes into it, and it is a lot more involved. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Waddell stated that there are a lot of facets that go into power purchase and hedging. Mr. Waddell continued to state that he believes about 80% hedge is where we try to be with all of our monthly requirements. Mr. Waddell explained that the way we run our power purchase is that we have a requirement we must fulfill with PJM, which is the regional transmission operator, and they give a number based on some coincidental peaks throughout the year. Mr. Waddell noted that they must fulfill a requirement of 155 megawatts, however, which may be lower than the actual load that we must provide to the city. Mr. Waddell noted that the City may have a peak of 165 megawatts, and then we have to get that additional 10 megawatts from somewhere. Mr. Waddell stated that hedging allows us to reach out into the market in the future and procure some of the power at a lower rate than if we called PJM tomorrow. Mr. Waddell continued to state that this is because tomorrow’s price is going to take into consideration the fluctuation of natural gas prices. Mr. Waddell noted that prices are going to affect the bottom-line price per megawatt. Mr. Waddell stated that they just purchased 1520 megawatts of round-the-clock power for 2023 and after budgeting $146 per megawatt hour, the Energy Authority was able to get it to us at $115. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Waddell explained that it will take approximately 6 months before Delmarva Power has an estimated time of interconnection approval. Mr. Waddell further explained that they are also having material issues, which is pushing the timeline to the end of 2023. Mr. Waddell stated that by the time the ancillary material and solar panels come in and then get constructed and installed, they are looking at the fourth quarter of 2024 before it goes online. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Waddell thanked him for bringing that up because that is one of the things that impacted us in this budget process. Mr. Waddell stated that they were looking at having that 50 megawatts of solar, which would eliminate the need to go out to the market and purchase 27 megawatts of power. Mr. Waddell explained that by reaching out into the future and hedging this, we can secure lower rates and they were not able to do that with this. Mr. Waddell noted that the lack of them being able to get this system up and running has cost a lot of money. Mr. Waddell further explained that they are contract-wise going through ways to try to recoup some of that, but that they still cannot provide 27 megawatts of power to the customer. Mr. Waddell added that with other issues going on with PJM, the Indian River Plant was supposed to close and due to reliability concerns, PJM is making them stay online. Page 43

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 8 Mr. Waddell explained that as a customer of PJM, the cost for them having the must-run ruling is being split among all the people who use the power in Delmarva. Mr. Waddell continued to explain that they are paying an additional share of that, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and that we do not know how long this is going to go on. Mr. Waddell stated that is one piece of that $3 million difference year after year that you were discussing earlier. Mr. Waddell stated that he can get you a better number of that, exactly what that is, but it does fluctuate month to month. Mr. Waddell stated that he thinks it was $250,000 the first month or $280,000 the first month and about $250,000 the next month. Mr. Waddell noted that this is being shared by all the utilities in Delaware and that it is not just us, DMEC is getting hit by it, Delaware Co-op is getting hit by it, everybody is getting hit by it. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Marney explained that in one of the slides from how our neighbors are doing, the Public Service Commission just put out an announcement to make citizens aware that natural gas prices are going to continue to rise. Ms. Marney noted that electric consumption, heating our homes, and water consumption, are all things that are within our power to control depending on our personal use. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Marney answered Mr. Boggerty’s question of what are we doing to help customers, by stating that the City of course will offer payment arrangements. Ms. Marney stated that we have to look at the customer's individual history and look at if they have been struggling. Ms. Marney stated that the City has to ask, if there is something else that we can do for them, or if can we give them a referral to an agency that may be able to help them. Ms. Marney noted that sometimes she will hear, I can tell on my side when I'm looking at a customer account if they are a renter. Ms. Marney stated that she knows she can refer them to the DHAP program. Ms. Marney continued that she also hears that they are a homeowner, they just lost their job, or they have been out sick with Covid. Ms. Marney noted that she knows that they can qualify for the Delaware Homeowner's Assistance Fund as an example. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Marney explained that what we do try to do is look at their billing history and how many bills are outstanding. Ms. Marney continued that they also look at whether are they at risk for disconnection and what the City can do to prevent a disconnection Ms. Marney continued that she can tell you that one of the last things she wants to do, is disconnect somebody's power, especially if we are in extreme weather where it is too hot or too cold. Ms. Marney continued to state that what she generally says is the City is not regulated by the Public Service Commission's rates for weather, but that we try to follow them. Ms. Marney explained what that means is if it is 32 degrees at 8:00 AM, the City is not going to cut your electricity off, usually. Ms. Marney continued to explain that there may be extreme circumstances where there are circumstances where the City has to, but we try not to. Ms. Marney noted that it is the same when the heat index makes it over 100 degrees then the City is not going to look at disconnecting power. Ms. Marney continued to state that we do try to evaluate each person so we can customize our answer to what their concerns are and what they are facing. Ms. Marney stated that the City has relationships with Catholic Charities, First State Community Action, and DHSS. Ms. Marney noted that there are places that we can go and that we can refer individuals to for help if the City cannot help them. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Marney stated that the City should not push it under the rug and think that it is going to go away, which she has seen happen sometimes. Ms. Marney continued to state that it is a case of pride sometimes and embarrassment and that it is okay to be in a spot where Page 44

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 9 you have trouble and ask for help. Ms. Marney noted that she thinks that it is one message that the City needs to make clear to everyone, that it is okay to ask for help and that is what it is there for. Ms. Marney continued to state that again, that is why the City is partnering with the health initiative and NCALL Research and why we refer individuals to 211. Ms. Marney noted that it is okay to ask for help and that it is okay to give the City a call to see what we can do to assist residents through the process. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Ms. Marney stated that several years ago our residential deposit was capped at $900. Ms. Marney stated that the amount is insane and that it would be hard for anyone moving to come up with an extra $900. Ms. Marney explained that the City capped that deposit to $500 and offers available to extend it out over a period of bills. Ms. Marney continued to explain that the City also offers the ability for a customer to have their credit report run and that if they are not comfortable with that, they do not have to do that. Ms. Marney noted that the City also accepts letters of good credit from other utility agencies, such as Verizon or AT&T. Ms. Marney stated that it does not necessarily have to be an electric utility, but that the City will accept a letter of good credit. Ms. Marney stated that there are also assistance programs through the state and through Catholic Charities that will assist individuals with deposits Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Marney explained that she does speak for a senior citizens sector of the community, her father is 92 years old. Ms. Marney stated that she knows her dad would have one heck of a time going through that process, should he need help. Ms. Marney stated that she has reached out to Modern Maturity, and they will be more than happy to walk individuals through that process for the DHAP program, DHAF, or even Catholic Charities. Ms. Marney noted that they will help them apply for any type of assistance that they need. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Marney stated that there are individuals even in my age group that could care less about computers. Ms. Marney stated that we have had some aggravation to be honest, with those programs ourselves. Ms. Marney noted that one of the things that the City does request is that individuals are to show that they have been approved for the program so that we can put a hold on their account, so they are not disconnected. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Marney explained that a lot of times what she is finding is that they are missing information that has not been submitted or that they are still waiting for information from their landlord or even from their mortgage company. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Waddell stated in regards to the reinstatement of McKee, that won't happen. Mr. Waddell stated that the air permit is gone, it has been retired. Mr. Waddell stated that to resubmit that process, you would be looking at years and potentially millions of dollars in order just to get the air permit. Mr. Waddell explained that not even considering the age of that unit and the upkeep that would be required to maintain it. Mr. Waddell noted that it costs a lot of money to produce power there and that it was not an attractive source of power from a money-making aspect. Mr. Waddell continued to explain that to maintain that unit, they would have to invest a bunch of money into putting it all back together due to the demolition process as far as DNREC has given us the approval for the above-ground tank storage demolition. Mr. Waddell stated that the City has done hundreds of thousands of dollars of work on the environmental side to make sure that we got the right plan going forward with the RFP to get the building knocked down. Mr. Waddell stated that the City is going through an integrated resource plan and that an integrated resource plan takes a 20-year snapshot or a 20-year forecast of where the city may need to be. Mr. Waddell noted that Page 45

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 10 it is not a cemented solid way forward, but it at least gives us feasibility as far as money goes, where we need to spend to make our infrastructure more robust. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Waddell stated that he believes it is two different lines from Delmarva. Mr. Waddell explained that if one feed goes out, they can back feed from the other and vice versa. Mr. Waddell noted that it is the same way that the City operates when there is an outage, we try to build everything redundantly. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Waddell stated that at VanSant, the City has 42 and a half megawatts of generation and that the peak load for the city last year, he believes was 164 megawatts. Mr. Waddell noted that we could supply 25%. Mr. Waddell stated that he does not know if there is an industry standard for how cities need to be islanded, meaning they can self- support. Mr. Waddell stated that when we did have all three units in McKee plus VanSant online when you added all that together, we had enough to where if we lost a feed and we had the natural gas availability to run those plants, we would have had enough to supply the city on a limited basis until the gas runs out or our oil runs out. Mr. Waddell noted that the City is required to have 16 hours of runtime and fuel on standby and that you would be looking at 16 hours if we were not able to get any fuel, meaning natural gas. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Marney stated no, it is not a predictive approach, and that the City is taking physical, actual readings off of your meter with a handheld device. Ms. Marney stated that you can take a picture of your meter at the same time and that she has done this for some customers when there was a concern about usage. Mr. Marney explained that they have sent a meter reader physically to a location, where they have taken the handheld device and the meter and then taken a picture of both sides by side. Ms. Marney stated that way you can compare the numbers on our handheld device and the numbers on the meter and that they are true and accurate. Ms. Marney explained that the AMR uses radio waves, so it's submitting that or emitting that information to our handheld device from a radio read device that's on the physical meter back to our meter reading equipment. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Marney stated that they are actually in their vehicles. Ms. Marney explained that they have the handheld device, and they also have a mounted device in their vehicle that is picking up the readings from the actual meters. Ms. Marney continued to explain that it is communicating back to the meter reading software and that once they are done with their routes for the day, they bring their handheld device back to the office. Ms. Marney stated that then we upload those readings into the billing software so that we can bill. Ms. Marney noted that she is not going to say that there has never been a problem, but 97-98% of the time the readings are accurate. Ms. Marney stated that most of the time when there is a problem, it may be with a water meter, where the radio read has gone bad and the meter is in a pit. Ms. Marney stated that in those cases we put in a work order for that device to be replaced and that it will do a visual read. Ms. Marney noted that someone is physically going out and checking that meter to make sure that the reading is correct before we bill it. Mr. Waddell stated that if they do get a complaint that someone thinks that a meter is bad, our meter guys will go out, pull that meter, install another meter, and then they will bring that meter back in. Mr. Waddell noted that they will run it through a whole testing process to verify if it is bad or if it's good and then we communicate with the customer to let them know. Mr. Waddell stated that if there are continued questions about usage then they can put load loggers on there, Page 46

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 11 that will measure continuous energy data and then we could go back and try to figure out what is causing it to be so high. Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Marney explained that notices start going out in May with the budget process. Ms. Marney explained that they have talked internally about how to improve that process and that it is difficult to advertise or send a notice out specifically to customers when we do not have set rates yet. Ms. Marney stated that she suggested that we change the language in our rates tariff based on some of the feedback that we had received. Ms. Marney stated that she understood what the concern was, but it depends on the type of meter reading equipment. Ms. Marney noted that Easton Utilities' language says something to the effect, "All bills rendered in the month, regardless of meter read or usage timing, are billed at the new rates." And the wording in their tariff says, "Bills rendered on and after" their beginning. Ms. Marney stated that she begins in September, whereas we begin in July. Ms. Marney noted that we have had some internal conversations on how we can improve that process Responding to Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Marney explained that the information is included in the budget packets in May and then again during the first Council meeting in June. Ms. Marney assured the council that the information is available to the public. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Waddell stated sure the AMR and the AMI, you're going to get the same data. How it is read is what the different aspect of it is and the granularity of the data. With the AMI, it is all sent and communicated the same way, except there is no need for a person to go driving through the city. Mr. Waddell stated that with the AMR, it is a snapshot at that moment as they drive by but with the AMI, we would be able to get them hourly data. Mr. Wardell stated that if we purchased that functionality on that meter, we could give them five-minute data. Mr. Wardell explained that converting from AMR to AMI is a very large outlay of money. Mr. Wardell noted that he has not looked at prices recently, but it could be anywhere from $5 to $15 million because every meter in the city has to be converted and has to be changed out. Mr. Wardell explained that when the decision was made to move from HTE to Munis, as the city software, they put the AMI process on hold. Mr. Wardell stated that we did not want to move into a new data collection system, then throw it into a new billing software system, and to be cautious, we pushed that away. Mr. Wardell noted that the ability for the customer to have more data is there if that is the route that we want to go. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Waddell stated that he is willing to say yes but now he would say 95% sure. Mr. Wardell stated that would be something as simple as going into the software and telling it from this date forward at midnight 01, on July 1st, everything from that time until the read date will be at the new rate and then they could have that bill split. Mr. Wardell stated that functionality would be there in an AMI system, but it is the AMR system, it's like your old, corded telephone in your house. ADOPTION OF MINUTES -REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 2022 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of September 12, 2022, was unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Boggerty, and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen.

SAFETY, ADVISORY, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and unanimously carried. Presentation - Next Generation Outcomes (Larry Normile, Erin Smith, and Emily Sestito) Mr. Larry Normile, 46 Stone Ridge Drive, Dover, Delaware. 19901 reviewed his presentation entitled Next Generation Outcomes. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Normile confirmed that Next Generation Outcomes is incorporated. Mr. Normile explained to get participants into the program, he will work in conjunction with the City of Dover Police Department, Department of Justice, Attorney General’s Office, and Probation and Parole. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Normile stated that he currently does not have a place for participants to live or a place for them to go once they graduate. Mr. Normile explained that he has reached out to Country Village Apartment Homes. Mr. Neil stated that it is going to be hard to locate housing, there is not much space available and that is something he has been looking and fighting for because that is the main reason a lot of people are homeless. Mr. Neil explained that even if people have the money, there is not enough inventory. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Normile stated that he does not have a current income source, which is why he is meeting with organizations such as the City Council and the Department of Justice. Mr. Normile stated that he does not have the money right now, but he will even if it is in another two to three years, he will work for it, and build his capital. Page 48

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 13 Mr. Neil wished Mr. Normile all the luck in the world because he thinks the program is terrific. Mr. Neil stated that if Mr. Normile can accomplish everything that he has set out to do it would be a marvelous tool for the Police Department, which anybody dealing with the social ills of this society can do. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought Mr. Normile presented a very good presentation. Mr. Sudler recommended filtering loitering issues to this rehabilitation and community service program. Mr. Sudler urged Mr. Normile to contact the City Manager because last month another non-profit requested a building or dwelling that the city could donate based on a purpose and need. Mr. Sudler commended Mr. Normile for following his spirit, and heart, and providing a highly-needed service in our community. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Normile for coming tonight and for his presentation. Mr. Anderson stated that he is looking forward to the future with this program and he believes it will make the entire county better. Mr. Anderson stated that Kent County has grants open right now from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and he believes that the deadline is October 25th. Mr. Anderson recommended Mr. Normile look at Kent County’s website. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Normile confirmed he received his 501(c)(3) in 2019. Mr. Boggerty encouraged Mr. Normile to meet with Group Violence Intervention Program (GVI) because he feels like both programs could work together. Mr. Boggerty stated that he would get the contact information to Mr. Normile after the meeting. Presentation - Dover Loitering Ordinance- 2022 Update (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department) Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the presentation entitled Dover Loitering Ordinance 2022 Update. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Chief Johnson stated that slide 24, section 70-9 is for non-state-funded schools, for example, the private schools would have the same authority as public schools. Ms. Arndt stated that she liked that Chief Johnson was proposing court-tested language found in the state statute. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Chief Johnson stated that Council has the power to decide what the consequences of a loitering citation in the city would be. Mr. Boggerty stated that he would like to make sure the ordinance is being administered fairly, if they are going to use the lower-level ordinance, then it must be used for all unless they are frequent offenders. Mr. Boggerty requested seeing a fair report including demographic, age, race, sex, and national origin. Page 49

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 14 Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Chief Johnson stated that they used 2019 statistics because it was pre-covid. Chief Johnson explained that during the pandemic, there were operational adjustments on the number of citizen contact that they proactively engage in, and the data would have been skewed. Chief Johnson stated that Mr. Boggerty’s concern was completely understood as Council will be drafting the Ordinance and voting to implement it. Chief Johnson stated that he would provide contextual data, not only the numbers but context to draw off, for example, communication from elected officials, 911 calls, and proactive behaviors in chronic condition areas. Mr. Boggerty stated that “I, Andre, councilman trust you, I have full confidence that they are given the spirit that you delivered.” Mr. Boggerty stated, “let’s clean up so we can tackle some issues that this city desperately needs tackling.” Mr. Boggerty explained there have been break-ins, an increase in the homeless population, and problems that Council needs to solve. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that cadets only have the authority to enforce local offenses at Council’s pleasure. Chief Johnson explained cadets currently enforce parking, littering, and other quality-of-life things. Chief Johnson suggested that if Council would like for cadets to enforce loitering, then they include that in the ordinance. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that he could provide suggested language and that if there becomes a problem through an internal procedure, he could rectify the situation. Responding to Chief Johnson, Mr. Boggerty stated that whatever the numbers come out to be he would like to see that it is fair. Mr. Boggerty stated that page 21 of the packet discussed the cadets and that the created purpose was due to the continuing safety and security concerns expressed by the merchants. Mr. Boggerty suggested deleting why it was created because if the numbers go down someone could say they are not needed. Mr. Neil thanked the original sponsors of the loitering ordinance because they took a lot of heat to bring about this moment. Mr. Neil explained that the original sponsors tried to lessen the costs for somebody going through the process and not having a record at the same time, trying to balance the individual’s rights constitutionally with actions that were causing businesses to lose their business. Mr. Neil further explained that they were losing their livelihood, and equity invested, and deeply hurting the City of Dover because of the actions that were taken by people who were loitering. Mr. Neil thanked Mr. Anderson and Mr. Taylor for kicking the ball in the right direction. Mr. Neil stated that they are now going to pull together information from the Chief’s presentation so that they can achieve their goal. Mr. Neil explained that Page 50

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 15 if we lose businesses and nobody wants to come then everyone gets hurt. Mr. Neil noted that he has absolute trust in the Chief. Mayor Christiansen stated that most of the job descriptions state that other duties may be added at the discretion of the Chief and that the cadets need to be modified to include the same language. Mr. Sudler stated that he would like to see a statistical data review board comprising individuals in certain zones so that they can review the statistics, look at the data, see the authentication of the process, and be able to talk about the prior data. Mr. Sudler explained that he felt they would get more buy-in from the community and that it would show more accountability and transparency. Mr. Sudler thanked Mr. Anderson and Mr. Taylor for their support in the loitering initiative. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sudler stated that the Police Chief’s Advisory Board would be a start, but he thinks that individuals who live in the New Street area should be included to help advocate that they see the statistics, that this is something that is authentic and has a buy-in as a part of the process. Mr. Sudler explained that the Police Chief’s Advisory Board should also be comprised of the business owners in addition to residents because they will echo the message that they need to do their part as a part of the community and the initiative to clean up downtown Dover. Mr. Sudler stated that he felt they needed new eyes and a new mission statement separate from the Police Chief’s Advisory Board only looking at statistics. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mayor Christiansen stated that he agreed that they needed to make sure that the statistics and demographic information is available to the community. Mayor Christiansen stated that he has implicit trust in the Chief, his staff, our statistician, and the Police Chief’s Advisory Board which was established to review and provide some oversight and suggestions for the operation of the Dover Police Department. Mayor Christiansen stated that he did not feel it was in the best interest of the ordinance to reinvent the wheel. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Taylor stated that Dr. Jackson – Short is a member of the Police Chief Advisory Board, which helped bring forth this loitering presentation. Mr. Taylor agreed with the Mayor that oversight is needed but should be provided by the Police Chief’s Advisory Board. Mr. Taylor stated that he felt that they would continue to do an outstanding job if they were given another responsibility, whether it be dealing with the demographics of this or anything else. Mr. Taylor noted that he has full faith in their abilities to be non-biased and move forward in a way that everyone can find satisfaction in their efforts. Mr. Anderson stated that a statistical review could be made with a motion and that he felt that should be done parallel with the ordinance but not as part of the ordinance. Mr. Anderson noted ordinances are laws that last until they are repealed. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to have flexibility in how they deal with Page 51

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 16 issues when it comes to being able to review because their needs of them can change quickly. Mr. Anderson moved to refer to staff to move forward with the drafting of this loitering ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Sudler stated that was a very keen observation and statement made by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Sudler noted that the community has called for the reactivation of the Human Relations Commission, and he believes that something of this magnitude needs the community’s input regarding whom they feel most comfortable. Mr. Sudler explained this is a sensitive topic and Mr. Taylor and Mr. Anderson have taken a lot of heat for the City of Dover. Mr. Sudler stated that Mr. Anderson and Mr. Taylor have also taken the time and the intelligence to listen and do their due diligence. Mr. Sudler stated that he appreciates it and supports this initiative. Mr. Anderson moved to refer to staff to move forward with the drafting of this loitering ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Proposed Ordinance #2022-15 - Chapter 70 by adding Section 70-9, Nuisances, and amending Appendix F, Fees, and Fines (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections) Mr. Hugg reviewed Ordinance #2022-15-Chapter 70, Section 70-9, Nuisances, and amended Appendix F, Fees, and Fines. Staff recommended approving the Ordinance for First Reading on October 10, 2022, at the Regular City Council Meeting. Mr. Hare moved to approve Ordinance #2022-15 for First Reading on October 10, 2022, at the Regular City Council Meeting, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Discussion Loockerman Street Assessment Tour (Councilman Ralph Taylor) Mr. Taylor reviewed the pictures in the packet under Discussion of Loockerman Street Assessment Tour. Mr. Taylor noted the tree roots, loose bricks becoming weapons, tripping hazards, damaged downspouts from fighting, and alley fencing that the police cannot see through. Mr. Taylor noted that all of these are safety hazards for the city and our citizens. Page 52

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 17 Mr. Taylor stated that a decision needed to be made regarding the trees causing damage, he suggested removing them and getting trees that are more suitable for those locations. Mr. Neil stated that he hoped that all of this was being shared with the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) and Mosaic because it needs to happen but also be a part of the total plan for downtown. Mayor Christiansen pointed out that the Bond Bill gave the Downtown Dover Partnership a lot of money that could be used now for streetscape improvements. Mayor Christiansen stated that if DDP is going to be the true partner to the city, then some of those monies should be made available to address some of the issues Mr. Taylor has brought forth. Mr. Sudler stated that one way that they could deal with the roots of the trees, would be to shave the mature roots so that bedding could be placed for the pavers to be placed over. Mr. Sudler noted that they also have a foaming root killer that could be placed on the root, and it would dissolve in that area. Mr. Sudler explained that these options would not damage a mature tree but are short-term mechanisms that they could take to reinstall the bedding and concrete. Mr. Anderson agreed with Mr. Neil and thanked him for his comments. Mr. Andersons suggested they should look at different proposals and maybe look at how downtown looks and functions to make an informed decision. Mr. Anderson noted that they needed to decide quickly on how to proceed. Ms. Arndt stated that she hoped that they are not setting the stage to remove the trees, remove the brick, and put down smooth concrete. Ms. Arndt stated that she agreed with the tripping hazards and a relative immediate need to address those issues in terms of the tree and roots. Ms. Arndt stated that they learned a lot from the Bradford Street project and dealing with mature street trees that are healthy within urban environments. Ms. Arndt noted that brick sidewalks can be a maintenance headache however they are beautiful and make our downtown unique. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor explained that the photo showed only access to the basement. Mr. Taylor noted that it may be something they are going to have to work around. Ms. Tina Bradbury, DDP stated that the bond bill that was received is not for streetscape but that it is to bring buildings up to code and get ready to be leased. Mr. Taylor moved for adjournment of the Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m. Mr. Sudler announced Council would take a recess and resume at 7:35 p.m. Page 53

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 18 UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved to move items #2 Purchase Ground Penetrating Radar, #3 Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Funds Applications, and #4 Aero Park Elevated Water Tank Equipment Relocation #5 Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 – Amending Chapter 110 – Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F – Fees and Fines to Consent Agenda and take one vote to approve all four items. Mr. Anderson requested to remove Item #5 Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 – Amending Chapter 110 – Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F – Fees and Fines Mr. Hare moved to move items #2 Purchase Ground Penetrating Radar, #3 Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Funds Applications, and #4 Aero Park Elevated Water Tank Equipment Relocation to Consent Agenda and take one vote to approve all three. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Electric Service Handbook Revisions (Paul Waddell, Electric Director) Mr. Paul Waddell, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Electric Service Handbook Revisions. Staff recommended approving the presented revisions to the Electric Service Handbook. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approving the presented revisions to the Electric Service Handbook, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Purchase Ground Penetrating Radar (Jason Lyon, Director of Water Wastewater) This item was approved on Consent Agenda and there was no separate discussion. Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Funds Applications (Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater) This item was approved on Consent Agenda and there was no separate discussion. Page 54

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 19 Aero Park Elevated Water Tank Equipment Relocation (Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater) This item was approved on Consent Agenda and there was no separate discussion. Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 - Amending Chapter 110 - Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F - Fees and Fines (Jason Lyon, Director Water, and Wastewater) Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater, reviewed the background and analysis of Proposed Ordinance #2022-17. Staff recommended approval of the Ordinance for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. Mr. Lyon stated that he would like to thank Ms. Kate Mills, Water Production Manager because this would not be in front of Council without her and that she did a fantastic job putting this whole cross-connection control program together. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that it is important to realize that for the majority of residential customers, this will not impact them. Mr. Lyon noted that some exceptions were in the packet, such as if you have an irrigation system that is connected to a chemical disbursement, you must have a backflow preventer on that. Mr. Lyon stated that if you have your pool directly connected to the water service line, which is very, very rare, you must have a backflow preventer so that chlorine water cannot come back in. Mr. Lyon noted that if you have reclaimed water and if you have a fire suppression system, most residential units do not have that. Mr. Lyon explained that these fees are primarily going to be for businesses that are required to put in a backflow preventer because of the high hazard risk or if there were any sort of additional concerns that we would have. Mr. Lyon explained that it is going to be filled out in the survey, which is in the packet, and that it will be sent out to all the businesses, then they are going to return it to us. Mr. Lyon continued to explain that then the city is going to through them with our partner, National Water Specialties Company (NAWSC), and provide them with direction on which way to go. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lyon confirmed backflow devices would need to be tested annually by a licensed contractor. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 – Amending Chapter 110-Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F – Fees and Fines for first reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:43 p.m. Page 55

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 20 LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved to move items #4 Approval of a Grant Funded Group Violence Intervention (GVI) Crime Analyst Position and #5 Acceptance of a 1.5 Million Dollar Grant Funded Camera Expansion to Consent Agenda and take one vote to approve both items. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare. Mr. Sudler stated that he has a question for Item #4 and would like it removed from consent. Mr. Neil moved to approve item #5 Acceptance of a 1.5 Million Dollar Grant Funded Camera Expansion by a consent agenda. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that it is the goal to have money left over to purchase an extended warranty agreement with Advantech to push the city’s expenses off as long as possible. Chief Johnson stated that they may be able to push off the maintenance of the cameras for approximately 5 years. Chief Johnson noted that maintenance for existing cameras is roughly $65,000 -$70,000 and that there would be a modest bump from that. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that there are many shovel-ready camera locations that they could opt to build. Chief Johnson stated that their goal is to build as far as they can and leave enough funds to purchase the warranty. Chief Johnson confirmed that once the money from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds is depleted the city will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the cameras. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that the new cameras will be an upgrade. Chief Johnson explained that the current cameras have a fixed position and that they are pan and tilt cameras. Chief Johnson noted that the new upgraded cameras have fixed-position cameras that look in every direction. Mr. Sudler stated that we currently have a lot of cameras that have appeared or have been perceived to be not operational downtown. Mr. Sudler stated that there was a question from the community about the location of the cameras and how did the cameras not catch a resident jogging downtown or even the fire on Lockman Street. Did they catch the individual who may or may not have caused the fire, just hearing from different circumstances, why are these cameras not working? Or when people go to ask for certain footage, why are those cameras not working? Page 56

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 21 Mr. Sudler stated that his only concern is that maybe some of the grant money that the city is receiving, should be used to make sure that the cameras that are not operational become operational, or at least demonstrate to the community that all of our cameras are operating. Mr. Sudler continued by stating that they will feel more confident in knowing that, even though this is grant money, it is still money that is given to our constituents under the stewardship of Council to guide and direct where it should go. Mr. Sudler stated he likes the initiative, and the product, it looks great. I support that, but he would be remiss if he did not echo that he wants to make sure that all of our cameras are 100% operational for the transparency of the community and also to make sure that we are being good stewards of our taxpayers' dollars moving forward. Mr. Sudler stated he is all for progression and all upgrades, but he wants to make sure that what we have now is working and moving in a way that we can show due diligence in all our efforts. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that there was a meeting a few weeks ago to achieve what Mr. Sudler has described and learn from past failures. Chief Johnson explained that the fiber optic network they are trying to build will take away a lot of the wireless line of sight interruptions. Chief Johnson further explained that a lot of the issues come from the trees blocking the line of sight and they do much better in fall and winter once the leaves fall. Chief Johnson stated the money that will install state-of-the-art fiber optics is in collaboration with the in-kind contribution of the electrical department. Chief Johnson further explained it will be to connect to upgrades and cameras that look in every direction so that we no longer have gaps in coverage. Chief Johnson stated that the internal infrastructure at headquarters is going to be beefed up immensely and that it will complement the health monitoring software that they already invested in to try and make sure that Advantech gets a notification within 15 minutes of a detected failure so it can be addressed immediately, rather than waiting for someone to find it the next business day. Chief Johnson explained that they are looking in all of those zones while they were doing the planning. Chief Johnson continued that they would like to think that they have looked at all the contingencies that would be of concern and that think they have got them all earmarked for resolution over the lifespan of this expansion initiative. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that the camera at Scarborough Road which is in proximity to the tail line overpass will have visual cameras and license plate reading cameras. Mr. Ryan Kelly, Advantech, currently has license plate recognition in place throughout the City of Dover and it is working flawlessly. Mr. Kelly explained that Page 57

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 22 each camera has a specific lane it concentrates on, so it does not have to wonder which lane to concentrate on. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approving Item #5 Acceptance of a 1.5 Million Dollar Grant Funded Camera Expansion by a consent agenda. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Proposed Ordinance #2022-08 - Amending Chapter 66 - Manufactured Homes, Mobile Homes, and Land Lease Communities, Section 66-3 - Manufacture; Homes and Appendix F - Fees and Fines Mr. Neil reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Proposed Ordinance #2022-08 and Attachment #1 – Letter to Dover City Council – Ordinance #2022- 08. Staff recommended approving the Ordinance for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Neil stated that it is a problem that the Department of Justice has to handle because in essence, when the person leaves, even if they take the title away with them and the community owner repossesses it for the lack of rent, they are selling a home they have no right to sell. Mr. Neil stated that it is not a Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issue at this point and that you still cannot sell the home that you do not own. Mr. Neil explained that if you are selling the home, saying, "Here it is, buy it. I want to collect your rent," the person cannot resell the home. Mr. Neil continued to state that if they do not have a title, that is against the law, and that becomes a state issue that we have to turn over. Mr. Neil stated that if we recognize it because it is brought to our attention, then he thinks we have to go to the Attorney General and that this is what this ordinance calls for, to report it to the proper authorities with the state to let them deal with it. Mr. Neil noted otherwise that the house is going to stay vacant until they can get a title, but they cannot sell the home. Mr. Rocha moved to recommend approving Ordinance #2022-08 for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council meeting as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Proposed Ordinance #2022-10 - Amending Chapter 22 Buildings and Building Regulations, Article VII. Property Maintenance Code, Section 22-226 Violation and penalties and Appendix F - Fees and Fines Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Proposed Ordinance #2022-10. Page 58

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 23 Staff recommended approving the Ordinance for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that if this ordinance passes then it would be a question for legal counsel if it could be retroactive. Ms. Gray stated historically going backward, enforcement has been a question for legal counsel. Mr. Hare suggested consulting legal counsel if this ordinance could be retroactive, if the City can send a letter asking for fines to be paid within 90 days or if a lien will be placed, or if they could simply reissue the fine with a letter. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approving Ordinance #2022-10 for the First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council meeting as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha. Ms. Arndt stated regarding Article V on page 151 of the packet, parking in a fire lane, if the fee goes unpaid it would be a traffic violation and not tied to the property. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Gray stated she would look into it. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Kopp stated that Code Enforcement has a lien spreadsheet that they update to include information such as owner information and tax parcel id, then it will be billed through customer service. Mr. Kopp assured Council that the process is not very time-consuming and that they have an established process that they use for grass fines. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that as of this morning the total amount of unpaid fines between 2019-2021 is $605,800. Mr. Hare stated to Mr. Hugg that each penny of the tax increase raises 370,000 dollars and that this is part of the tax increase that we need to collect. Ms. Gray stated that the idea of this framework is that eventually, we would be bringing in fewer fines because they feel this is kind of like a parent who threatens to punish a child for bad behavior but never actually punishes them, that it ends up being a hollow threat, so the bad behavior continues. Ms. Gray stated that if the message gets out to the property owners of rental properties that there will be consequences for this behavior, then the behavior we hope will change and the properties will be better maintained. Mr. Gray stated that property owners and renters will be in better compliance and that this is the goal. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approving Ordinance #2022-10 for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council meeting as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Page 59

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 24 By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings and Appendix F - Fees and Fines Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Proposed Ordinance #2022-14. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that Mr. Rodriguez issued a Legal Opinion in January 2020, indicating that he believes it is a violation of the landlord- tenant code- 25 Del. Coded 5101. Ms. Gray stated that this code shall regulate and determine all legal rights, remedies, and obligations of all parties and beneficiaries of any rental agreement of a rental unit within the state whenever, wherever executed. Any rental agreement, whether written or oral, shall be unenforceable, in so far as the agreement or any provision thereof conflicts with any provision of this code and is not expressly authorized herein. Mr. Sudler suggested contacting the Division of Human Relations that oversees HUD or contacting the board that puts together the landlord-tenant code for an opinion. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that she attended the Fair Housing Act seminars in previous positions. Tracey Harvey also attends those training and provides background regarding that from the Delaware State Housing Authority, they do this every five years, and they assess our entities who receive Community Development Block Grant program money. Ms. Gray stated that there is a report that reviews every entity on how we are doing with fair housing and how we are implementing the Community Development Block Grant. Ms. Gray stated that she would bring forward that report. Mr. Anderson stated the opinion, which conflicted with the Deputy City Solicitor who drafted the ordinance, Representative Lynn, and Mr. Peraza. Mr. Anderson stated that to remedy that, we went through all the trouble of changing the charter to specifically allow for the City of Dover to deal with rental issues and safe communities. Mr. Anderson explained that the 2020 opinion does not consider the state law which just passed and was signed on September 9, 2022. Mr. Anderson stated that he inquired about that with Mr. Rodriguez, and he agrees that it means that the whole opinion, not saying what the result is, but the whole opinion would have to be revisited because the laws have changed. Mr. Anderson stated that he did not think that this should be part of that discussion and that we plan to put that on an Agenda in late October to give time for review, and that this should not be part of this ordinance. Mr. Anderson moved that the provisions regarding safe communities be stricken and deferred for another time. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare. Page 60

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 25 Ms. Arndt stated that she is in support of striking the safe communities’ provisions from the ordinance. Ms. Arndt agreed with the solicitor that there is a conflict with the landlord-tenant code and the state housing position that it is a discriminatory practice. Ms. Arndt continued that the criminal activity is outlined within the safe community section of the ordinance. Ms. Arndt asked why that would only apply to renters. Ms. Arndt continues that criminal activity is criminal activity and that the way it is written, it targets renters specifically, and renters are more likely to be people of color. Ms. Arndt stated that she believes that is the basis for the opposition to the Fair Housing Act. Ms. Arndt stated that she would be in favor of, as written, striking the provision from the current ordinance. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that regarding the agent required, the reason why we were striking out the family member is we have had several problems with properties where a designated family member is on site. Mr. Kopp explained that they are going out to a property three or four times because that family member is a tenant and a friend. Mr. Kopp continued that the owner would call us and be like, "Oh, hey, my brother's going to be there” and it is a tenant who is representing the property, and then it is not brought back into compliance. Mr. Kopp further explained that a lot of things they are discovering are, there are a lot of life safety concerns out here, the authorized agent, who is a family member does not get the message across to the owner, or the owner is out of state, and they cannot get ahold of the owner or the authorized agent whom they have listed. Mr. Kopp noted that is why we would like to require a property manager, somebody who is in Kent County who can respond. Mr. Kopp stated they have had several issues where, whether it is trash, a leaking pipe, or floors caving in because they have encountered that. Mr. Kopp continued that the owners could be in Hawaii, or let's say Afghanistan on deployment and are trying to get ahold of this authorized agent, who is nowhere to be found or does not exist. Mr. Kopp explained by having that agent required, is going to better assist the tenant in the event of an emergency, or if we do find violations within the property, the agent can better assist us to get in compliance. Mr. Kopp noted that in their history when there is a property manager assigned to the property, a licensed property manager, they tend to get these violations issued a lot faster or corrected a lot faster. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Kopp stated that even though an owner leaves contact information, it is hard to get ahold of them and for them to get compliant in emergencies. Mr. Kopp stated that this is more geared toward emergencies. Mr. Kopp explained that they do have several emergencies where they cannot contact anybody and, unfortunately, they end up having to condemn the unit and displace the tenants, and then they are out on their own because again, they cannot get ahold of the owner. Mr. Anderson noted that the code already stated that the authorized agent and the family member of the individual must be in the county already. Page 61

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 26 Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Gray stated that line 55 can mirror line 112 of the ordinance to define property insurance. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Kopp stated that it will be yearly inspections that will take place with every new license, not renewed licenses. Mr. Kopp explained that code enforcement already does this as a best practice and is asking it to be placed in the code. Ms. Arndt suggested a performance-based licensing system, where you consider the property code, nuisance violations, and tax compliance so that landlords who are in good standing are incentivizing them. Mr. Arndt discussed a fee reduction or some sort of incentive package for the landlords that are doing a good job as opposed to the landlords that are not maintaining their properties. Mr. Neil moved to table Item #4 Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler. Mr. Taylor stated we look at sections 22-333, and we were just talking about the property manager, section A is line number 90. Mr. Taylor continued, that if we go down to line number 99, section B, to incorporate some of that language. Mr. Taylor explained any corporation or partnership owning a rental dwelling shall have a designated member, partner, or employee having charged care or control of the rental property. Mr. Neil moved to recommend tabling Item #4 Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings, and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Dr. Pillsbury, and carried by a unanimous roll call. Approval of a Grant Funded Group Violence Intervention (GVI) Crime Analyst Position (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department Chief Johnson yielded to questions from Council. Staff recommended approving the grant-funded position as requested. Mr. Sudler asked regarding the proposed new position for the GVI Crime Analyst position, is there some statistical over workload or data indicating that the demand of the current Crime Analysis Position that we have is being overworked or overwhelmed? Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated the crime analyst that they have right now is a hybrid position, he does crime analysis, but he is also the accreditation manager, which means he's heavily involved in the development and Page 62

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 27 the maintenance of policy and procedure for the CALEA accreditation. Chief Johnson noted that he handles the general policing crime analyst duties. Chief Johnson stated that naively as a department when GVI came to us and turned the program on, we thought that we could handle what we thought was going to be a limited number of clients and a limited number, that we assessed as not a heavy lift on information, not only collecting, but the big piece is the information sharing. Chief Johnson explained that when you take into consideration under the umbrella of the Department of Corrections, the Department of Health of Human Services, and the other state law enforcement agencies in our federal partners, we had no idea the amount of time this was going to burden Case Detectives in making sure that everybody involved in GVI is on the same page, particularly when we have an event where shots are fired and folks that have other roles to play need real-time data as to what is going on in an investigation. Chief Johnson stated that we started the year with him hearing, "Chief, we will be all right, we do not need this analyst. We got this." And then by the middle of the summer, it was, "Yeah, Chief, we were wrong. We need this analyst." Chief Johnson stated that coincidentally, the same point of contact in the Governor's office brought to us the camera expansion opportunity through ARPA. Chief Johnson stated that apparently, they did not realize at the time that ARPA was being considered as the funding source for this position by the Governor's office. Chief Johnson stated that when they started talking about the cameras, the spreadsheet that is in the packet had personnel at the top line that had not been there before. However, they are merging both the camera project and the crime analyst into the same budget from their perspective. Chief Johnson stated that from the city’s standpoint, there is a difference between a camera expansion project and a mid-season addition of personnel. Chief Johnson wanted to make Council aware of the way that they have this structured in the ask in case this money ever runs out. Chief Johnson stated that the state intends to continue funding beyond this three-year window. Chief Johnson continued to state that in the event, that there is some kind of philosophical change or a barrier that makes that impossible, the way they are doing this is that Council can turn this position off, at almost a moment's notice because it is part-time at the maximum number of allowable hours. Chief Johnson stated that if it is Council's pleasure at that time not to fund the position through city tax dollars that it will be 100% at the discretion of Council if it is not funded anymore by the state. Chief Johnson noted that there is currently no money out of pocket from city dollars to make this position start. Chief Johnson stated that if the state suddenly must step away from it, we have no other match or obligation from that day forward to continue. Chief Johnson noted that Council is 100% free to do as they wish at that time. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that if this is denied then the case detectives will not have as much time to do, such as major case detectives that are Page 63

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 28 in our drug, vice, and organized crime units, who are some of the lead personalities with the GVI program. Chief Johnson noted that they are not working cases if they are typing reports and making tons of phone calls and generating emails. Chief Johnson stated that not only the GVI staff at the state level, but corrections, probation, parole, health human services, anybody that is involved with a GVI client who is sending us information, and then the information that we generate on a GVI client that we have to share with all those other entities, that burden cannot stop, and it is mostly a safety issue. Chief Johnson explained that a lot of the GVI, non-law enforcement practitioners are in the field on their own, and if they do not know in real-time that there is a conflict in progress or beef going on, then they could be walking into something. Chief Johnson stated that they have to step up their game to be as real-time as they can with information sharing, which is why they are finding this position so crucial. Mr. Sudler asked Chief Johnson if there was a process other than verbally saying to the Chief, is there a process where they write and give a description regarding in what areas a breakdown, so that the justification, the rationale is in black and white on paper. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated there is a process in place. Chief Johnson stated that in early '21 he wanted to try and make sure he captured hourly utilization. Chief Johnson stated that the annual report that he provided, was the first draft of their attempting to capture the number of hours that they spend on any particular task. Chief Johnson continued that there are categories for that information is captured and that in some of its investigations, you could go all the way down. How long they are taking the transport prisoners from point A to point B? Chief Johnson explained that he is trying to build a cadre of data to justify any further requests that he might have to bring to Council going forward in future years. Chief Johnson noted that he does not have a specific category that discusses hours that are involved in administrative time for GVI and that he is unsure if he could go in reverse to get that information. Chief Johnson stated that he is trusting Lieutenant Dickinson and the rest of the GVI team, which includes stakeholders outside of the Dover PD, where the consensus is. Chief Johnson noted that Wilmington ended up having to do the same thing and that they have more than one because of the number of clients that they have. Chief Johnson explained that they are just starting with one and that they are starting it out in a way that has the most flexibility for them to make decisions in the future to the pleasure of the department and Council as far as funding it. Chief Johnson noted that he wished he had a better answer for Council President as to the exact data that drove the request but that they are still moving towards our first calling, which is going to bring more clients under the umbrella of GVI. Chief Johnson continued that from then, all the things that occur from that calling date will require top-shelf information sharing, and it is more analyst work than it is police work. Page 64

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 PAGE 29 Responding to Chief Johnson, Mr. Sudler stated that he wished he could support this initiative, but without the data, he cannot justify approval from his perspective. Mr. Sudler stated that he does support Dover PD, but that is his opinion, and he is just one vote. Mr. Hare stated that the Chief has his support and that this is something the officers needed, they came to the chief for it, and it is not costing the City money, and he does not see the downside of approving it. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approving the grant-funded position as requested by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and passed 7 in favor to 1 opposed (Mr. Sudler). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Boggerty, and carried by a unanimous roll call.

VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PURCHASE - #622 – FORD F350 Ms. Kate Mills, Water Production Manager, reviewed the background regarding the vehicle replacement purchase #622 – Ford F350. Mr. Hare moved to recommend allowing staff to replace the existing Ford F350 pickup truck #622 from Winner Ford, Cherry Hill which is through the approved cooperative purchasing company from the Delaware State Contract in the amount of $68,440. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried.

REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 630 WEST DIVISION STREET - FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2021-07 A request was received to rezone property located at 630 West Division Street, consisting of 1.0853+/- acres, owned by Silver Linings Holding Corporation in the care of Solano Anderson.

There are several factors considered when setting rates. • infrastructure costs • capital projects • operating costs • maintenance costs • fuel costs • power purchase costs • environmental regulations also factor into the cost due to the purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs) and solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) Page 70

Item #2. How are electric cost of services determined? Projections are made based on market modeling for fuel availability, generation outages, transmission charges. The projections are compared to actual costs. Page 71

Item #2. Purchase Power Adjustment History The purchase power adjustment charge can be dated back to the 80’s when it was billed as a fuel adjustment. The purpose of this rate is to balance out the increases and / or decreases in energy costs to assist with stabilizing the fluctuations of costs the city incurs to purchase and produce power for the city electricity customers. The PPA can show as either a credit or a debit on your utility bill. Page 88

Item #2. • The purchase power adjustment was either a credit or not billed at all Purchase Power in rates documents on file from 2009 to present. Adjustment History • During budget hearings for FY23 council requested that a debit charge be used to off-set the increase in costs the city has incurred to run the electric utility instead of implementing a real estate tax increase.

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING A Special Council Meeting was held on August 15, 2022, at 6:02 p.m. with Council President Sudler presiding. Council members present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Neil, Dr. Pillsbury, Ms. Arndt, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor (Via Webex), and Mr. Hare. Mr. Boggerty was absent. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Council staff members present were Mr. Hugg, Ms. Gray, Ms. Bennett, and Mr. Rodriguez. Other staff members present were Mr. Kopp. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 235-239 W. LOOCKERMAN STREET, OWNED BY SAG HOLDINGS, LLC A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 235-239 West Loockerman Street, Owned by SAG Holdings, LLC. Mr. Eddie Kopp, Chief Code Enforcement Officer, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property. Staff recommended: 1) declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) ordering the property be demolished by September 15th, 2022, by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) ordering the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structure, if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by City Council; 4) ordering the City Manager, with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of the demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that as far as he has been informed, there is no insurance on either building. Mr. Kopp stated that the pictures are a combination of both buildings and that it is two parcels that are kind of minced together, but the buildings are connected throughout. Mr. Kopp noted that he believes that the fire originated on the left side of the building. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Kopp stated that his recommendation for demolition is on or before September 15, 2022, but this date can be determined by Council. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Kopp stated that there were bedrooms in the basement that were illegal, and that it violated the code for non-habitable spaces. Mr. Kopp noted that there was no proper fire egress or amenities in the basement for them to be habitable. Mr. Kopp stated that he has not received any correspondence from the property owners but that he had spoken with the Page 101

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 2 attorney, who is representing the property, but other than that, no actual contracts, legal, pending documents or pending contracts, potential sales, etc. Mr. Kopp stated that there has been no indication from the attorney as to the path forward. Mr. Kopp noted that he has been in contact with a broker who reached out and is trying to attempt to sell the property, but nothing is set in stone or guaranteed. Mr. Sudler stated that Mr. Rock, the attorney representing SAG Holdings, LLC was present via Webex. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that he believes that Mr. Rock is only representing SAG Holdings, LLC. Mayor Christiansen stated that he thinks it would be appropriate for him to explain the actions that he took in issuing the executive order for this building to be demolished, after today if we did not see anything of substance about it. Mayor Christiansen noted that there is nothing more frustrating than people wanting to do their job and do it well. Mayor Christiansen stated that then they must go over a bunch of hurdles and a bunch of ducking and dodging. Mayor Christiansen stated that if Mr. Rock and his folks had been sincere in doing something definitive on this building, they would have been in touch with our Planning and Inspections department right from the get-go when they were first communicated with. Mayor Christiansen stated that we have a responsibility regarding the public safety of all our citizens across the city, but we also have a responsibility to maintain people's property rates. Mayor Christiansen noted that he respects those rates because this country was founded on property rates. Mayor Christiansen stated that when other people's property rates infringe on the public safety of the citizens of our city, we must do what needs to be done. Mayor Christiansen stated that there were illegal apartments at the bottom of that building. Mayor Christiansen noted that he was there when they pulled out Mr. Goins, who was a fire victim. Mayor Christiansen stated that now we have a responsibility to take definitive action here and he requests that Council follows through on this. Mayor Christiansen stated that the citizens of this city are looking toward us to do what is necessary and that we have committed to revitalizing our downtown. Mayor Christiansen stated that it is in the heart of our city. Mayor Christiansen asked how we can expect the downtown Dover partnership and the people who have supported that effort along with the people from Mosaic, Kent County, the State of Delaware, and particularly the City of Dover, to be committed to revitalizing our downtown if we are going to keep extending the opportunity for that building to stand there. Mayor Christiansen stated that they have the wherewithal and the means to take it down in the next 15 days. Mayor Christiansen stated that if we are committed to the public safety of our citizens, as he knows everyone is, committed to the revitalization of our downtown efforts, and committed to the efforts of our Fire Marshals and Inspections department, then this building needs to come down. Mayor Christiansen stated that this will send a message to the other folks that have dangerous buildings in our community that we are coming after them next. Page 102

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 3 Mr. Hare stated that he has heard, the building is structurally sound. Mr. Hare stated that his one thought would be because the owner's not doing squat and was not doing squat until he heard about this, have the city hire a contractor to go in there and gut the building, and clean the building out completely. Mr. Hare noted that he does not care what it costs because then we can put that cost against the building. Mr. Hare noted that there might even be some people other than those whom they have talked to that are interested in the building Responding to Mr. Hare, City Solicitor Mr. Rodriguez stated that he does not think they are talking about a criminal charge at this point, but to answer his question, he would say it would not be a criminal charge. Mr. Rodriguez stated that we are talking about civil liability, which could well transpire, if somebody was seriously injured or died because of the condition of the building, it would be a civil suit against the owner as opposed to a criminal action. Mayor Christiansen stated that he appreciates Mr. Hare’s questions and concerns and that he thinks that is something that the Williams family will probably take up. Mayor Christiansen stated that he would once again, reiterate to Council that the owner has been given time and that they were given notice early in the month by executive order. Mayor Christiansen stated that he wishes Council would follow through on that and that on the 30th of this month if they have taken no definitive action, for the city to proceed in taking that building down and place a lien on the property. Mayor Christiansen noted that if they have a buyer for that property, the cost can be rolled into the price of the sale. Mayor Christiansen stated that if the city is committed to the public safety of our citizens, then they must be the voice of those who have no voice. Mayor Christiansen noted that Mr. Goins has no voice anymore because he is not with us and that the city needs to do the right thing. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sudler stated that he does not believe that the city has received anything in writing. Mr. Sudler noted that he could be wrong, but that he does not think the city has taken any bids to demolish the unit. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Kopp stated that a project this size would require a sealed bid. The only way to go around the sealed bid is for the Mayor and City Manager to make an exception to the purchasing policy, to change it from a sealed bid to a regular bid. Mr. Kopp stated that for a project this size, he would recommend at least doing a bid that way we can get the correct qualified contractors involved in this project. Mr. Kopp stated that in addition to the cost of demolition, the city must consider the asbestos survey, which is going to be another added expense and due to the condition of the building, it could be removed as it is demolished. Mr. Kopp noted that it means as they are taking the building down, they would be removing the asbestos, which could also be an extra added expense. Mr. Taylor stated that he agrees that these things need to be done but that he is just not sure 15 days is the timeline they should use. Mr. Taylor stated that he is concerned that we are going to make a move and taxpayers are going to be stuck with the cost with no repercussions to the owner. Page 103

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 4 Mr. Taylor stated that if the city has something in place where the owner of the building is going to incur those costs, he would be more apt to support the 15-day timeline. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Kopp stated that the sealed bid could take anywhere from four, eight, or twelve weeks. Mr. Kopp stated that there is a process and that it must go into the paper, it must be sent out, etc. Mr. Kopp stated that it is a lengthy process for the sealed bid. Mr. Kopp stated that the 15 days does not necessarily mean the building comes down. Mr. Kopp noted that is the date that the building must be demolished and if not, then the city will start the process of demolition. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Kopp stated that in 15 days, if the building is not demolished, if that is what Council decides to do, he will have to post a 10-day notice to vacate the property. Mr. Kopp noted that those 10 days are added to the 15 days. Mr. Kopp explained that the reason for that is for anybody who has any personal effects in the building, they can remove them from the building. Mr. Kopp noted that from there they will start the city’s process and that is the standard procedure for all dangerous buildings, not just for this building. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Kopp stated that a part of the bid process that he has written into the bid is that the contractors are responsible for creating a traffic plan because the city is aware that we will have to shut down roads. Mr. Kopp noted that the contractor will be responsible for the traffic plan and minimizing the effect on traffic. Mr. Kopp stated that without bidding this out and having plans in front of us, he cannot give a strong number as to how long it is going to take, to demolish 235-239 West Loockerman Street. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Kopp stated that one of the other things that he wanted to mention, when we go to demolish this building, we must take into consideration the building that stands next to it. Mr. Kopp noted that there are about six inches in between the two buildings. Mr. Kopp stated that the city may have to underpin the buildings next to it, which will also be an additional cost. Mr. Kopp stated that they both have basements and that is a concern that we need to consider as we move forward with this. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that the first notice was sent on July 1, 2022. Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Anderson is correct in stating that there has been no attempt to pull permits according to the package. Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Anderson is correct, they sent out certified letters, the attorneys responded, and they have not received information back or even provide information to us, and the first notice gave them till August 4, 2022. Mr. Kopp noted there was a weekend within the timeline and that is why it was a little bit more than 30 days. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that he is correct this was treated as a regular dangerous building, not an emergency case, which is why a first notice went out. Mr. Kopp noted that if this was treated as an emergency case from the jump, there would have not been the first notice, it would have just been a notice of counsel hearing. Mr. Kopp stated that is the only difference and that we gave them the extra time with the first notice. Mr. Kopp stated that even if it was not necessarily demolished, there would be permits on file to correct the building. Mr. Kopp Page 104

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 5 stated either they are going to start the demolition process or start at least getting a rough permit to start correcting the violations. Mr. Kopp noted that Mr. Anderson is correct the action form has in there that it is within 30 days. Mr. Anderson stated that he just wanted to establish that for the record before the public hearing because not everyone in the public will have seen the packet and its contents. Mr. Anderson stated that this has been many months and Mr. Kopp has been doing his job and sending different notices. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Kopp for that, and he wants to thank him for the work that has been done and for following the process. Mr. Hare stated that Code Enforcement has done it by the book. Mr. Hare stated that it is like any other vacant building that we have had, where we do not hear anything for five months and we go through all the procedures, then suddenly, the attorney brings forward plans from the owner. Mr. Hare stated that nothing was said until we said we are going to act. So, by the time we get the bids in and everything, it is not going to be demolished in 15 days. We know that. We must do the bids and it is probably going to take at least four to six weeks to get the bids. Mr. Hare stated that their attorney said they needed four to eight weeks. So, he's got four to six weeks to come back to the city with a plan that says, "Here it is. We are going to implement it." And we can tell him, "Fine. You got 30 days to implement it." Mr. Hare stated let us see what happens, let’s make it go forward, and if it does not, they are on a deadline. Mr. Hare noted that if it does not happen by that date, then we do what we need to do. They cannot say we skirted anything or did anything wrong. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that for any salvageable, personal effects, we can assist with ensuring that they get the stuff out safely. Mr. Kopp noted that there is not much in there that you could get, but legally, we must post that notice to protect ourselves and make sure we are giving them that option. Mr. Kopp stated that he thinks that most personal effects that are in there have been removed or destroyed. Mr. Kopp noted that it is part of the process, and we would follow that process. Mayor Christiansen stated that Mr. Kopp brought to Council’s attention, the City Manager has the option of not going through the bid process, which would expedite the demolition of this building and take an unsafe building down. Mayor Christiansen noted that if Council waves that to the City Manager, he can seek out a reputable, inexpensive route for us to go rather quickly. Mayor Christiansen stated that maybe this will continue to get the folks that own this property’s attention. Mayor Christiansen stated that we do not need that eyesore downtown, it needs to go. Mayor Christiansen stated that it is a traumatic memory for the folks that lost Mr. Whims in that fire. Mayor Christiansen stated that it is detracting from our downtown and is a hazard to the people that live in and around the building. Page 105

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 6 Mayor Christiansen stated that we have had calls for people who have taken the boards off the building and who have gone inside to habitat the building, and to get out of the weather. Mayor Christiansen noted that it is a jeopardy to the citizens around the building and it is a jeopardy to the police department, the fire department, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS), which might be called back there at any given time to render services for the citizens that live near there. Mayor Christiansen stated that we also have a responsibility to the gentleman that opened a business behind that facility. Mayor Christiansen noted that it is chasing his business away and that he is concerned about that. Mayor Christiansen stated that it also is of concern to the other neighbors, one of them is a company that is planning some major renovations to the old Simon property. Mayor Christiansen stated that it causes great concern to them because it is devaluing their property and their plans. Mayor Christiansen stated that he would ask Council to, in your wisdom, waive the bid process to the City Manager. Mayor Christiansen noted that the Council expressed their trust and reliance on his ability to get things done and that he thinks we need to take this building down sooner rather than later. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Kopp stated that he believes there are a couple of contractors that have done some bigger projects in the city, that we could reach out to. Mr. Sudler stated that this is very complex, and a lot of very valid points were made. Mr. Sudler stated that as a contractor himself, who has demoed houses and trailers, an asbestos report is going to run at least two to three weeks just to get the report back, and then you can move forward. Mr. Sudler stated that he does believe that this does serve as urgency and that we do appreciate your due diligence, your hard work, and the effort that you put forth, and that we do support you and your staff. Mr. Sudler declared the public hearing open. Ms. Tina Bradbury, Downtown Dover Partnership, stated they have a mixed review for the property. Ms. Bradbury stated they are in favor of something being done with the property for the safety of the residents and the view of the downtown, as we are trying to revitalize it. Ms. Bradbury stated that they appreciate and respect all the concerns for the safety and for the family that must endure looking at that building. Ms. Bradbury noted that they are working diligently with the broker and with Code Enforcement. Ms. Bradbury stated that to her understanding, there has not been an actual written structural engineering report. Responding to Ms. Bradbury, Mr. Kopp stated that is correct. Ms. Bradbury stated that it is making it challenging to get a buyer to want to come forward and do something with the property because they must endure the cost of a structural engineer report. Ms. Bradbury noted that to repair the building, they would like to keep the structural integrity of the building going forward. Ms. Bradbury stated that they have had some calls, regarding the historical Page 106

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 7 component and that would come before the Historic Commission. Ms. Bradbury stated that they also have had some concerns from their factor if the rehab goes through after a demo and if there is going to be any brownfield remediation from the property. Ms. Bradbury stated that if it happens, a buyer coming forward would have to endure that cost. Ms. Bradbury stated that if it is not our agency or the community for the city to go forward, they would have to endure those costs for the remediation. Ms. Bradbury continued by stating that the only intention that she would ask from Council, is that they look at, if you do go forward in demoing the property, that it does become a gated area just for the simple fact of that street does have some nuisance concerns for the businesses that are trying to actively be in business there. Ms. Bradbury stated that if they do something, gate it or place a wall that they can beautify with banners or something to that effect. Ms. Bradbury stated that they ask that there could potentially be some stay order, that if they get a buyer to come forward, they would be able to approach Council with this active buyer and have them look at what their plans are, as we are working diligently to find somebody. Ms. Bradbury stated also with the rehab costs if you take it down completely, they will have to go through a large project with the DSHA, Delaware State Housing Authority, and then that would also consume some time for them because they must go on the waitlist to apply and then there is no guarantee that they would receive funding for a large project. Ms. Bradbury stated that their main goal is the revitalization of the downtown. Mr. Patrick Rock, SAG Holdings, stated that he just wants to express some remorse for the things that he has heard. Mr. Rock stated that nothing they have heard has been true thus far. Mr. Rock noted the day after the fire happened, he met with the tenants and tried to work with them to get what they needed out of the building. Mr. Rock stated that they hired some staff to come down and watch over the opening and closing, to make sure they can get in and out safely. We reached out to brokers and contractors to get us a quote on rehabbing the building. Mr. Rock stated that contractors have given us quotes that are substantial and that they received a quote for demolishing the building, which was over $200,000. Mr. Rock stated that nothing is happening, and he can certainly understand Council’s frustration. Mr. Rock noted that there has been a fair amount of effort and work to try to bring information together and get it done. Mr. Kopp stated since the structural engineering report came up, there was not a structural engineering report per se done. Mr. Kopp noted that there was a quick walkthrough to deem the building safe enough to open the streets. Mr. Kopp stated to clarify, there is no actual structural engineering report that is on file, there was just enough to open the streets that day. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Kopp stated that the big difference is it is an email versus an actual full report with pictures and recommendations on what needs to be done to fix it. Mr. Kopp stated that a full structural engineering report not only has the pictures that identify the concerns but the Page 107

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 8 plan of action to correct them or the recommended plan of action, versus stating the building is safe to open the streets. Mr. Kopp noted that there is a big difference between the two. Mr. Kopp stated that he does not believe it was put in the violation letter to require a structural engineering report. Mr. Kopp thinks that would have come when they applied for a permit. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that no, the Fire Marshals are the ones who reached out to have the structural engineer come out and give the okay because they are the experts on it. Mr. Kopp stated that they can identify a problem, but they are not the experts to say, "Hey, this is structurally sound." Mr. Kopp noted the code allows us to require or demand a structural engineering report from an expert. Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Rocha is correct and that as of right now, we do not know the status of the structure of the building. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Bradbury stated that as part of their mission, they are always looking to keep the historical integrity of a building. Ms. Bradbury noted that the building, from her understanding, does have some historical components. Ms. Bradbury stated that she does not know if the Historic Commission has any weigh-in on that, but they had concerned people bringing it to us. Mr. Hare stated if a certified structural engineer comes back and says the building is not safe, then everything we have said tonight is a moot issue, and then we need to tear the thing down. Mr. Hare stated that we do need to know that and that he does not care whom you have got looking through the building if it is not structurally sound, then it does not matter. Mr. Neil stated that he would like to make a motion, but in terms of the building, you can continue the integrity or the look of the downtown area, with anything new that goes up, you can maintain that and that it is part of the design in the architectural display, that they are going to do. Mr. Neil stated that he is going to move for staff recommendations and to change the date for the demolition to August 30, 2022, simply because that puts a line in the sand and then whatever takes place from there. Mr. Neil stated that his motion includes the City Manager is to negotiate a demolition because of the contract since it is a dangerous building at this time. Mr. Neil stated that the staff recommendation is changing the date for the demolition to August 30, 2022, with the City Manager executing and negotiating a contract for the demolition of the building. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to second the motion, but before he seconds it, he recommends that the last part be said to allow the City Manager to waive the sealed bid purchasing requirements due to the dangerous building situation. Madam Clerk Bennett stated the motion, ordering the property be demolished by August 30, 2022, with the city manager waiving the sealed bid purchasing requirements to execute the contract for demolition or repair. Page 108

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 9 Mr. Hare stated that he is just mixed on this because he cannot see tearing down a building if it is structurally sound and someone could buy it and redo it. Mr. Hare stated that he can see going in there, gutting the building, getting all the garbage out of it, and adding that to the charges against the building. Mayor Christiansen stated that he is not a structural engineer, but he was at the fire when it occurred. Mayor Christiansen stated that anytime that you see fire coming through the mortar on a building, it tends to signal to somebody, and one of our Assistant Chiefs is here, who will bear me out on this, that building has some structural damage. Mayor Christiansen stated that they said that it could not fall into the street. Mayor Christiansen noted that it has the potential to fall into the street. Mayor Christiansen stated that he is not an engineer, but he thought he should share that with Council. Ms. Bradbury stated that a concern has been brought by the partnering businesses that if the city goes forward with the full-on demo, will they be assuming the liability for any damage to their building, or would they have to endure talking to their insurance carriers and getting demoing insurance for their buildings, as well. Responding to Ms. Bradbury, Mr. Kopp stated that when they go to bid this out to any contractor and then select a contract, the contractor is responsible for any damage to surrounding buildings, sidewalks, public streets, and so on. Mr. Kopp stated that it is a part of the contract that they sign before they are awarded the project, so any damage that would occur is the responsibility of the contractor. Mr. Kopp noted that in the event there are damages, the city must repair them, then the city will file suit against the contractor to reclaim the money. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that the roof of the building is nonexistent, it was burnt through. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that he is correct and that the building is well- secured. Mr. Kopp stated that everything that is left in there is pretty much rubble and debris, so there is not much that is going to blow out. Mr. Kopp noted that they were in there inspecting a couple of weeks ago and it was still wet inside, so it is not like anything is going to blow out, even if they get a nice wind. Mr. Kopp stated that there is wood around the building and every opening that can be secured is secured. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that in almost every dangerous building they present, there is not a structural engineering report, unless the determination is to fix it, then that is the only time a structural engineering report would be obtained. Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Anderson is correct in saying that it is safe to say at this point with no correspondence from the owner indicating a plan of action or corrective action, the structural engineer report, does not have Page 109

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 10 to be taken into consideration, because it is something they would have been able to provide if they had a plan of action to do corrective action. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Mr. Sudler declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Neil moved for approval of the staff’s recommendation, ordering the property demolished by August 30th, with the city manager waiving the sealed bid purchasing requirements to execute the contract for demolition or repair. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boggerty was absent). PUBLIC HEARING - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE - PROPERTY LOCATED AT 207 N. WEST STREET, OWNED BY JALISA N. GOLDSBORO. A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance at 207 N. West Street, Owned by Jalisa N. Goldsboro. Mr. Kopp, Chief Code Enforcement Officer, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property. Mr. Kopp provided a timeline of the notifications that were sent to the property owner and current fees. Mr. Kopp stated that the violations are condemnation, obtaining a building permit, painting exterior surfaces, replacing the roof, replacing broken windowpanes, repairing exterior stairs, removing high grass in the overgrowth, removing junk and debris, and then repairing and removing the accessory structure, which is the shed located in the rear of the property. Mr. Kopp stated that the reason why they responded out there was that it is a continued nuisance property. Mr. Kopp noted that as Council can see, the picture is of the water heater that we discovered was toppled over, creating the water to drain. Mr. Kopp noted that he does believe this happened Sunday and then they found it on Monday while doing their inspection once they realized the wood was ripped off the door again. Mr. Kopp stated that these are some of the things that they were encountering with the property, which is why there are so many inspections at that property. Mr. Kopp stated that on several occasions, they have responded out there and resecured the property. Mr. Kopp noted that the reason why the police had been out there 10 times, is because they called the police to secure it because it was a continued problem and for their safety, they were concerned about going in there. Mr. Kopp stated that at one point when they went to go inspect the property, they smelled the odor of gas and found that the burner was left on the stove in the downstairs apartment. Mr. Kopp stated that they then called Chesapeake Utilities to seal off the gas and remove the meter, which they did. Mr. Kopp noted that they capped it off to prevent any kind of catastrophe there. Mr. Kopp stated that they did contact the City of Dover Water Department to come and remove the water meter to prevent the water damage so that they could do their part in trying to prevent damage throughout the property. Mr. Kopp stated that they ended up securing this property, he believes, a total of five times. Mr. Kopp stated that there are more outstanding fees, he just has not received the invoices yet, because we had to hire a contractor to secure the property, so there are more outstanding fees for the cost of securing the property. Mr. Kopp noted that he has not received the invoices from ServPro. Mr. Kopp stated that the property is unfit for human habitation, Page 110

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 11 light, air, and sanitation. Mr. Kopp noted that the fire escape that is seen in the picture, is crumbling, so when we had PD go up to the second floor, we made sure they went one at a time because you could feel the stairs, they were in disrepair. Mr. Kopp stated that regarding the fire escapes, loose parts, general welfare code violations, and unoccupied buildings, this building was initially condemned back in April. Mr. Kopp noted that the reason why every window is boarded is that every window in the house is smashed out. Mr. Kopp stated that whether it was by rocks, bats, or something, they are all destroyed, they were all smashed out. Mr. Kopp stated that he does not know if Council saw in some of the pictures, there was trash that was out in the front yard, it lay there for several weeks. Mr. Kopp noted that they contacted sanitation to come out and collect the trash cans to try to prevent some of the trash from being out there. Mr. Kopp stated that overall, this is probably the most nuisance property, he has in the city right now under condemnation. Staff recommended: 1) declaring this building and all accessory structures on this property dangerous; 2) ordering the property demolished by September 15, 2022, by the owner or equity owner at their own risk; 3) ordering the Building Inspector to cause the demolition of the structures if not completed by the owner within 10 days of the date established by Council; 4) ordering the City Manager with the assistance of the City Solicitor to cause the cost of demolition to be charged against the land on which the building exists as a municipal lien or cause such cost to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner. Mr. Sudler stated that the public hearing was now open. Jalisa Goldsboro, property owner of 207 North West Street in Dover, Delaware. Ms. Goldsboro thanked Council for the opportunity to be able to speak this evening. Ms. Goldsboro stated that there are a few documents that she has provided to the staff to be able to review, just to be as transparent as possible. Ms. Goldsboro apologized for my ignorance, she is not used to these kinds of settings, and she said that she will try her best. Ms. Goldsboro, the property owner of 207 North West Street, reviewed a presentation depicting the condition of the property. Ms. Goldsboro stated that the first document that is included, is the deed for the property. Ms. Goldsboro stated that this is a property that she inherited from her late mother. Ms. Goldsboro noted that the process took about 11 to 12 months to get the property solely in her name. Ms. Goldsboro noted that she did attach a copy of the deed that was signed, she believes it was March the 18th or 19th and recorded on April the 1st, so within weeks of her even getting the property, it was considered condemned. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she does want to give the timeframe that she has been working with. Page 111

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 12 Ms. Goldsboro stated these were the photos of the interior before anything was done, and then the next is the photos of the interior after. Ms. Goldsboro stated that the place has been completely gutted since then. Ms. Goldsboro stated that the integrity of the building is structurally sound. Ms. Goldsboro noted that next week, she has an appointment with a structural engineer. Ms. Goldsboro stated that they are going to be coming out to look at the property and generate a report. Ms. Goldsboro stated that as she said, I'm trying to be as transparent as possible with you. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she will be able to provide it to the City of Dover Inspections Department, if necessary. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she has an email, so she does have it in writing that they are going to be coming out on August 23rd to go ahead and look at the property. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she has some pictures of the exterior before and after. M.s Goldsboro noted that there was a brush removed, and grass and that Council can see a difference between the two. Ms. Goldsboro noted that the next document is going to be a violation form. Ms. Goldsboro stated that as Mr. Kopp said, there has been intentional damage done to the property but not her fault. Ms. Goldsboro noted that she does not reside here in Delaware. Ms. Goldsboro stated that however, she did go ahead and file a police report for the person that did this damage, and there will be actions taken if they are to go back to the property. Ms. Goldsboro stated that the next document is the insurance policy showing the property is currently insured. Ms. Goldsboro stated she included an equity application that showed the date as March 20th. Ms. Goldsboro noted that immediately upon her going ahead and signing the deed for the property, she completed an application to tap into the equity of the home to be able to make any renovations. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she wanted to show she was approved, had her rate, and everything was in place. Ms. Goldsboro stated that however, once they went out to do their inspection, a couple of weeks later, the damage was done. Ms. Goldsboro stated that it was an issue with the exterior, so they were not able to fund it. Ms. Goldsboro stated that however, her plan remains to do this, she will have to just come out of pocket to take care of anything exteriorly, and the bank will still fund the home equity line of credit. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Goldsboro stated that she does not live here. Ms. Goldsboro stated that primarily, she is the point of contact. Ms. Goldsboro stated that however, she does have a family friend, Mr. Bruce Ayres who has been a good support and a good point of contact as well. Ms. Goldsboro stated he does not live too far from the property and can take care of anything if anyone needs to get in and look or if Council were to need anyone locally. Mr. Bruce Ayres stated that he is a resident of Dover on North State Street. Mr. Ayres stated that Nicole is a good friend of his daughter's and when she bought this to his attention, he could do some actions immediately, something that wouldn't be in violation, and they did not do anything structurally. Mr. Ayers stated that they went in and cleaned up the property in a matter of a couple of days. Mr. Ayers noted that they went back this past weekend to remove, even more of the debris that is on the fence and cleaned that thing up. Mr. Ayers stated that they had a contractor and that he thinks that Ms. Goldsboro has an estimate of some of the things that can be done to the property. Page 112

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 13 Mr. Ayers stated that this is for the external and that it will allow her to seek funding to enhance the property in its totality. Mr. Ayers stated that he thinks it is going to be a nice property. Mr. Ayers stated that they have talked about the location and how the property lines up on that block. Mr. Ayers noted that it is next door to a church, a vibrant business, Teal Construction, across the street, and then you have the former recycle center. Mr. Ayers stated that regarding the property itself, he thinks that if you go past there now versus two weeks ago, they have done quite a bit of stuff. Mr. Ayers stated that Ms. Goldsboro has documents that she has funded and that she has paid for all the debris to be removed. Mr. Ayers stated that he thinks they made about five or six trips to the dump so far and that they gutted the house. Mr. Ayers stated that the house is not gutted, but regarding the stuff that code enforcement has seen, a lot of that stuff has been taken care of. Mr. Ayers stated that it is just unfortunate that Ms. Goldsboro is in this situation, having lost her mother, and then the process of going through this. Mr. Ayers stated that the home is something that he thinks Ms. Goldsboro wants to hold onto, it was her mother's house and her grandfather's house. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that he went by there this afternoon. Mr. Kopp stated that regarding just the exterior of the property, it was in the same condition as the photos. Mr. Kopp noted that besides some vegetation being removed, it is still in the same condition and the windows are boarded. Mr. Kopp stated that they did not go inside because they did not have a reason to and that it was properly secured. Mr. Kopp noted that the only thing that he did notice was the placards were removed from the door, and they had roped off the staircase due to it being dangerous. Mr. Kopp stated that the barrier that they put up, was just tape, but that it was also removed, so the stairs are now exposed. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that on several occasions, somebody did enter inside, they did reach out to the homeowner with the police present and she declined prosecution when the person was found inside. Mr. Kopp noted that in addition to that when it came down to the boarding, they reached out to the homeowner, and, they had to pay the cost of boarding because it was not done by the homeowner. Mr. Kopp stated that he wanted to make sure that was put on the record. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Rocha is correct and that they have been in contact with the homeowner, as well as the police because when they would find the occupants inside, the police would contact the homeowner as well because we had her phone number, and we would let her know what was going on with the property. Mr. Kopp stated that they would call Ms. Goldsboro and say "Hey, we are here. This is going on and this is going on." Mr. Kopp noted they have been in constant communication with the homeowner to make her aware of the issues going on with the property, what they are seeing, and what they are concerned with. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that the homeowner told him she was applying for a line of credit to renovate the building, but that they go by results and not what somebody says. Mr. Kopp stated that unfortunately, in his opinion, nothing was being done on the property. Page 113

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 14 Mr. Kopp noted that it was a danger, which is why they took immediate action to correct securing the gas line, securing the water, securing the windows, because there was glass laying everywhere and it was very easy for somebody to get cut just walking by the window. Mr. Kopp stated that is why we took the precautions to correct that, and she was aware of every step that we did. Mr. Kopp stated that they secured the gas, secured the water, secured the windows and that she was aware of that. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Rocha was correct that the cost of securing the building, was not included in the fines that are levied on the PowerPoint. Mr. Kopp stated that he did know at one point it was over about $1,000 to secure the building, which had been removed. Mr. Kopp stated that then they had to call ServPro out again to re-secure the building and that unfortunately, he thinks one of the times it was after hours because we found it so late in the day, so there was the after-hours charge on there. Mr. Kopp noted that regarding the condition of the building, in his opinion, it is not safe for anybody to be in there. Mr. Kopp stated it was in complete disrepair, which is why they took the added precaution to make sure it was secured. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that nothing has been paid to his knowledge. Mr. Kopp stated that they did reach out to the homeowner and allow her to have it secured. Mr. Kopp stated that they told her they use ServPro because that is whom they were going to call anyway, and that was not paid. Mr. Kopp noted that ended up being invoiced to the city. Mr. Kopp stated that the way the invoices work is that once they get around to sending them, the city will process them and then they will go over to customer service. Mr. Kopp stated that he does not believe she has been billed at this time, because of the way they do it. Mr. Kopp noted that for them as opposed to code enforcement fines, he can just look in there and that for any invoices that we process, we will process and transfer to customer service because it will go on the tax bill. Mr. Kopp stated that he does not think it has been billed at this moment and that it could take a little bit of time to bill. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Kopp stated that Mr. Rocha is correct in saying that the city followed the standard procedure throughout the whole thing. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Goldsboro stated that she does want to state that they did not finish going through all the documents that she has. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she did go ahead and include a quote that she has from a contractor to go ahead and get started on the property. Ms. Goldsboro stated that first, I would need to get a City of Dover business license and get a permit. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she could not give the go-ahead on any of that because she will have to get approval from the City to do that, and then they can move forward. Ms. Goldsboro stated that the contractor must get a City of Dover Building Permit, and a business license that can be issued over the counter at the time they applied for the permit. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Goldsboro stated that the estimate of $36,789, was just for the exterior and that the estimate has line by line all the work that would be done. Ms. Goldsboro stated that she does not have an estimate for the interior and that it was just the exterior that she Page 114

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 15 was focusing on it as of right now because she would pay out of pocket for that and then go back to the bank to get the home equity line of credit to go ahead and move forward with the interior. Mr. Hare stated that he has something he has to be at, but that he just wanted to say that he thinks there is a sincere effort here on the part of this young lady to do something. Mr. Hare stated that he would be in favor of maybe tabling this for 60 days and then going to enforcement, bringing it back in 60 days, and then if it needs to come back to see what's going on from there. Mr. Hare made a motion to table this for 60 days and then re-evaluate. Mr. Sudler seconded the motion. Mr. Sudler stated that the motion was properly moved by Councilman Hare to table the underlined item for 60 days, for a review at that time with Code Enforcement and the property owner. Mr. Neil stated that he wants to bring up two points. Mr. Neil stated that when her parents were living there and when she had a tenant there, that gave that community, that part of that street, stability. Mr. Neil stated that if she is going to use this for an investment property, then he is going to state right now that they are watching because she must be able to take care of it. Mr. Neil stated that if this gentleman is going out of his way, then he is going to have the responsibility to make sure that those people there are taking care of the property and taking care of the neighborhood. Mr. Neil stated that it is not part of this discussion, but it is a discussion that they are going to have to have with Council. Mr. Neil stated that the record number of 28 inspections and the number of visits by the police department are paid for by the taxpayers. Mr. Neil stated that she is not paying for that and that he is suggesting that they look at this record and figure out how much it costs for our code inspectors to go out, and how much it costs each time the police must come into a building. Mr. Neil stated that he thinks at that point, we must raise those rates and as we sit in the appeals, and construction appeals, this has been brought up. Mr. Neil stated that it is going to cost money, so make sure that what you are doing is going to be with someone watching over you, because we are going to collect for every time that we must have a code inspector that we pay for, that the taxpayers pay for, go out and do it. Mr. Neil stated that we have too many people who come in and use properties here for investment purposes and do not have the responsibility that they have as members of this Council to maintain the quality of the neighborhoods. Mr. Neil noted that we want that neighborhood, as well as State Street, to be safe properties. Mr. Sudler stated that he would just like to say for the record when the City’s Code Enforcement officers go out, it is paid by the taxpayers. Mr. Sudler stated that he says this because we must have a unified voice on this matter, and they are no different from anyone else who has come before us. Mr. Sudler stated that Ms. Goldsboro has a good plan of action because they are taking notice of what a lot of property owners are not doing. Mr. Sudler stated that we are looking to revitalize and continue to revitalize downtown, Dover. Mr. Sudler noted that for one, he appreciates their sincerity, the presentation, and her effort, and he thinks that she will be successful Page 115

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 16 if she has a project manager, and she communicates with code enforcement. Mr. Sudler stated that he thinks the wisest thing to do is to try and establish a healthy relationship, not that she does not, but strengthen it if she does not. Mr. Sudler offered his condolences to Ms. Goldsboro for losing her mother and just good luck and just do the best she can. Mr. Anderson stated that he wants to emphasize the fact that this neighborhood has been greatly revitalized, and this particular property has been the number one source of complaints that he has had in this neighborhood. Mr. Anderson stated that every month when he goes to the neighborhood watch, it is almost the only complaint that is left. Mr. Anderson stated that what he wants to say is that if we go this route because we respect the fact that, unlike the previous discussion, at least in the last month, she has taken substantial efforts, that Code is going to be watching to see if the building permits are pulled because we do not have to wait 60 days if things are not rolling. Mr. Anderson stated that if the building permits are not pulled, we are putting them on the table. Mr. Anderson stated that means we can take it off the table at any time, at any meeting if Council does follow this. Mr. Anderson stated that all he is saying is that he is not trying to be harsh or anything, but he is saying that the neighborhood has been greatly affected by it. Mr. Anderson stated that if you look at the calls in the neighborhood over the last year, something like one in five police calls has been related to that property in the past six months and in that neighborhood. Mr. Anderson noted that they need this moved. Mr. Anderson stated that if she makes the quality decision, they will go with her, and they are going to expect to see substantial results in the next 60 days. Mr. Anderson continued to state that she has to make that decision that she is all in because it would be a shame for her to lose money if she does not follow through and yet have some money in. Mr. Anderson stated that if she is all in, he is willing to trust her, but he has seen people go in, it does not work, they end up with the bill, demolish and they lose money. Mr. Anderson asked Ms. Goldsboro if she was all in. Ms. Goldsboro stated she is all in. Mr. Sudler stated that since she is all in, he provided his contact information to her. Mr. Sudler stated that he does believe that is in the fourth district, as well as Councilman Anderson. Mr. Sudler stated that they both can provide her contact information to assist her as the representative of that district, and Councilman Boggerty. Mr. Sudler stated that he is going to give her his number, (302)- 465-6975. Mr. Sudler noted that he is the fourth district council person, one of three. Mr. Sudler stated that she can give him a call if she has any concerns or if she needs him to walk through any process because he understands that she does not live here, but that they are here to assist her. Mr. Sudler stated that is what they do, they represent our constituents. Mr. Sudler noted that he does not know if Councilman Anderson is willing to give his number at this time. If you like, you may do so at this time, Councilman Anderson, rather by card or by verbal. There being no one else present wishing to speak, Mr. Sudler declared the public hearing closed. Page 116

Item #3. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2022 PAGE 17 Mr. Hare moved to table the underlined item for 60 days, for a review at that time with Code Enforcement and the property owner. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boggerty and Mr. Taylor were absent). Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Violation of the Dangerous Building Ordinance meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. ANDRIA BENNETT CITY CLERK All ordinances, resolutions, motions, and orders adopted by City Council during their Special Meeting of August 15, 2022, are hereby approved. ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN MAYOR /AB S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS\Council-Minutes\2022\08-August 2022\08-15-2019 SPECIAL COUNCIL VDBO.docx Page 117

Item #4. ELECTION BOARD The Election Board met on September 27, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. with Dr. Matthews presiding. Members present were Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Brockton, and Ms. Bennett. Ms. Ennis and Ms. Dean were absent. Others present were Ms. Engle, Mr. Nowak, Mr. Gibb, Mr. Walker, Ms. Gray, and Ms. Melson - Williams. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Brockton moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Caldwell, and unanimously carried. Reapportionment of Council District Boundaries based on 2020 Census Data Staff recommended accepting the reapportionment of Council district boundaries based on the 2020 Census Data. Ms. Rachel Engle, Assistant City Clerk, explained that per the City of Dover Charter, every 10 years once the census is complete, the city has to reapportion the districts to be equal in size and population. Ms. Engle further explained that in 1988, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Mr. Cecil Wilson vs. The City of Dover resulted in the Consent Decree. Ms. Engle further explained that the 1988 Consent Decree ruled that 65% of the population of one district must be “Black Only” and 51% of the voting age in that district must be “black only”. Ms. Engle stated that the issue staff found with the 2020 census is that people were allowed to select more than one race. Ms. Engle explained that staff then consulted Mr. Rodriguez, City Solicitor for a legal opinion regarding if someone selected African American and another race if they could be counted towards the percentages in the Consent Decree. Mr. Rodriguez advised that since the Consent Decree states “black only” only those who selected African Americans could be counted in the Consent Decree percentages. Ms. Engle explained that staff tried to use the census data blocks of those who selected African Americans only and could not reach the percentages indicated in the Consent Decree and have a contiguous border. Ms. Engle explained that after reviewing the census data and trying multiple ways to comply with the Consent Decree, the City Clerk’s Office asked for a legal opinion on how to proceed. Mr. Rodriguez’s legal opinion was to revert to the Charter and create four equal districts by population and that is what is being presented today. Ms. Engle explained the Clerk’s Office contacted Mr. Cecil Wilson who has already reviewed the presentation and is in favor of challenging the Consent Decree. The Clerk’s Office coordinated a meeting with the local NAACP, members of Council, and the Council President. Ms. Engle stated that Ms. Fleur McKendell, President was present and is taking back the presentation being shown today to the local chapter and the higher-up levels at NAACP. Ms. Engle noted that we are addressing the consent decree, but we can't move forward. Responding to Dr. Matthews, Ms. Engle stated the minority district has historically been the 4th District. Page 118

ELECTION BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 2 Item #4. Dr. Matthews stated that she suspects that the reason we received this data, the way it came in, is due to mixed marriages or mixed heritage. Dr. Matthews noted that there is going to be more and more of that, so we need to be prepared for future numbers. Mr. Mike Walker, GIS Manager reviewed the presentation that can be found at https://rb.gy/ldqsfl. Responding to Dr. Matthews, Ms. Engle stated that in regard to the change in housing patterns of minorities, the last slide in the presentation breaks down race and other factors within each of the proposed districts. Ms. Andria Bennett, City Clerk stated that in Mr. Rodriguez’s legal opinion he did note that Mr. Boggerty, an African American man was elected at–large for the entire city and that we have a majority council that is comprised of African Americans. Responding to Mr. Caldwell, Ms. Engle noted that we have a very diverse city however, with the Consent Decree stating “black only” we could only look at African Americans and not any other minority race. Mr. Brockton asked if it would have been easier to settle the Consent Decree with the NAACP first prior to redistricting. Responding to Mr. Brockton, Ms. Engle stated that ideally yes, however, the district boundaries need to be set prior to the next election which will be coming up in 2023. Ms. Engle explained that is why the city had a meeting with the NAACP and communicated with Mr. Wilson regarding the reapportionment of council districts to be open and transparent. Ms. Engle continued that while ideally the Consent Decree would be resolved, we just do not have time. Ms. Engle noted that is why the city asked for the legal opinion, which is to follow the City of Dover Charter and reapportion into four equal districts until the Consent Decree can be settled. Ms. Bennett stated that the city will need to petition the United States District Court to alter the 65% and 51% which will be expensive and time-consuming. Ms. Bennett stated that the Consent Decree is no longer needed due to the favorable changes throughout the City since 1988. Responding to Dr. Matthews, Ms. Engle stated that if the Election Board accepts staff recommendations, then two public hearings will be scheduled. Ms. Engle stated that the public hearings will be advertised in the newspaper, social media, city website, and newsletter. Ms. Engle noted that the residents that will be moving districts will also be notified. Dr. Matthews moved to recommend accepting the reapportionment of Council district boundaries based on the 2020 Census Data, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried. Page 119

ELECTION BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 3 Item #4. Dr. Matthews moved for adjournment of the Election Board meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Caldwell and unanimously carried.

SAFETY, ADVISORY, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and unanimously carried. Presentation - Next Generation Outcomes (Larry Normile, Erin Smith, and Emily Sestito) Mr. Larry Normile, 46 Stone Ridge Drive, Dover, Delaware. 19901 reviewed his presentation entitled Next Generation Outcomes. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Normile confirmed that Next Generation Outcomes is incorporated. Mr. Normile explained to get participants into the program, he will work in conjunction with the City of Dover Police Department, Department of Justice, Attorney General’s Office, and Probation and Parole. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Normile stated that he currently does not have a place for participants to live or a place for them to go once they graduate. Mr. Normile explained that he has reached out to Country Village Apartment Homes. Mr. Neil stated that it is going to be hard to locate housing, there is not much space available and that is something he has been looking and fighting for because that is the main reason a lot of people are homeless. Mr. Neil explained that even if people have the money, there is not enough inventory. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Normile stated that he does not have a current income source, which is why he is meeting with organizations such as the City Council and the Department of Justice. Mr. Normile stated that he does not have the money right now, but he will even if it is in another two to three years, he will work for it and build his capital. Mr. Neil wished Mr. Normile all the luck in the world because he thinks the program is terrific. Mr. Neil stated that if Mr. Normile can accomplish everything that he has set out to do it would be a marvelous tool for the Police Department, which anybody dealing with the social ills of this society can do. Page 121

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 2 Item #5. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought Mr. Normile presented a very good presentation. Mr. Sudler recommended filtering loitering issues to this rehabilitation and community service program. Mr. Sudler urged Mr. Normile to contact the City Manager because last month another non-profit requested a building or dwelling that the city could donate based on a purpose and need. Mr. Sudler commended Mr. Normile for following his spirit, and heart, and providing a highly-needed service in our community. Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Normile for coming tonight and for his presentation. Mr. Anderson stated that he is looking forward to the future with this program and he believes it will make the entire county better. Mr. Anderson stated that Kent County has grants open right now from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and he believes that the deadline is October 25th. Mr. Anderson recommended Mr. Normile look at Kent County’s website. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Normile confirmed he received his 501(c)(3) in 2019. Mr. Boggerty encouraged Mr. Normile to meet with Group Violence Intervention Program (GVI) because he feels like both programs could work together. Mr. Boggerty stated that he would get the contact information to Mr. Normile after the meeting. Presentation - Dover Loitering Ordinance- 2022 Update (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department) Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department, reviewed the presentation entitled Dover Loitering Ordinance 2022 Update. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Chief Johnson stated that slide 24, section 70-9 is for non-state-funded schools, for example, the private schools would have the same authority as public schools. Ms. Arndt stated that she liked that Chief Johnson was proposing court-tested language found in the state statute. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Chief Johnson stated that Council has the power to decide what the consequences of a loitering citation in the city would be. Mr. Boggerty stated that he would like to make sure the ordinance is being administered fairly, if they are going to use the lower-level ordinance, then it must be used for all unless they are frequent offenders. Mr. Boggerty requested seeing a fair report including demographic, age, race, sex, and national origin. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Chief Johnson stated that they used 2019 statistics because it was pre- covid. Chief Johnson explained that during the pandemic, there were operational adjustments on the number of citizen contact that they proactively engage in, and the data would have been skewed. Chief Johnson stated that Mr. Boggerty’s concern was completely understood as Council will be drafting the Ordinance and voting to implement it. Chief Johnson stated that he would provide contextual data, not only the numbers but context to draw off, for example, communication from elected officials, 911 calls, and proactive behaviors in chronic condition areas. Page 122

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 3 Item #5. Mr. Boggerty stated that “I, Andre, councilman trust you, I have full confidence that they are given the spirit that you delivered.” Mr. Boggerty stated, “let’s clean up so we can tackle some issues that this city desperately needs tackling.” Mr. Boggerty explained there have been break-ins, an increase in the homeless population, and problems that Council needs to solve. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that cadets only have the authority to enforce local offenses at Council’s pleasure. Chief Johnson explained cadets currently enforce parking, littering, and other quality-of-life things. Chief Johnson suggested that if council would like for cadets to enforce loitering, then they include that in the ordinance. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that he could provide suggested language and that if there becomes a problem through an internal procedure, he could rectify the situation. Responding to Chief Johnson, Mr. Boggerty stated that whatever the numbers come out to be he would like to see that it is fair. Mr. Boggerty stated that page 21 of the packet discussed the cadets and that the created purpose was due to the continuing safety and security concerns expressed by the merchants. Mr. Boggerty suggested deleting why it was created because if the numbers go down someone could say they are not needed. Mr. Neil thanked the original sponsors of the loitering ordinance because they took a lot of heat to bring about this moment. Mr. Neil explained that the original sponsors tried to lessen the costs for somebody going through the process and not having a record at the same time, trying to balance the individual’s rights constitutionally with actions that were causing businesses to lose their business. Mr. Neil further explained that they were losing their livelihood, and equity invested, and deeply hurting the City of Dover because of the actions that were taken by people who were loitering. Mr. Neil thanked Mr. Anderson and Mr. Taylor for kicking the ball in the right direction. Mr. Neil stated that they are now going to pull together information from the Chief’s presentation so that they can achieve their goal. Mr. Neil explained that if we lose businesses and nobody wants to come then everyone gets hurt. Mr. Neil noted that he has absolute trust in the Chief. Mayor Christiansen stated that most of the job descriptions state that other duties may be added at the discretion of the Chief and that the cadets need to be modified to include the same language. Mr. Sudler stated that he would like to see a statistical data review board comprising individuals in certain zones so that they can review the statistics, look at the data, see the authentication of the process, and be able to talk about the prior data. Mr. Sudler explained that he felt they would get more buy-in from the community and that it would show more accountability and transparency. Mr. Sudler thanked Mr. Anderson and Mr. Taylor for their support in the loitering initiative. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sudler stated that the Police Chief’s Advisory Board would be a start, but he thinks that individuals who live in the New Street area should be included to help advocate that they see the statistics, that this is something that is authentic and has a buy-in as a part of the process. Mr. Sudler explained that the Police Chief’s Advisory Board should also be comprised of the business owners in addition to residents because they will echo the message that they need to do their part as a part of the community and the initiative to clean up downtown Dover. Mr. Sudler stated that he felt Page 123

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 4 Item #5. they needed new eyes and a new mission statement separate from the Police Chief’s Advisory Board only looking at statistics. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mayor Christiansen stated that he agreed that they needed to make sure that the statistics and demographic information is available to the community. Mayor Christiansen stated that he has implicit trust in the Chief, his staff, our statistician, and the Police Chief’s Advisory Board which was established to review and provide some oversight and suggestions for the operation of the Dover Police Department. Mayor Christiansen stated that he did not feel it was in the best interest of the ordinance to reinvent the wheel. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Taylor stated that Dr. Jackson – Short is a member of the Police Chief Advisory Board, which helped bring forth this loitering presentation. Mr. Taylor agreed with the Mayor that oversight is needed but should be provided by the Police Chief’s Advisory Board. Mr. Taylor stated that he felt that they would continue to do an outstanding job if they were given another responsibility, whether it be dealing with the demographics of this or anything else. Mr. Taylor noted that he has full faith in their abilities to be non-biased and move forward in a way that everyone can find satisfaction in their efforts. Mr. Anderson stated that a statistical review could be made with a motion and that he felt that should be done parallel with the ordinance but not as part of the ordinance. Mr. Anderson noted ordinances are laws that last until they are repealed. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to have flexibility in how they deal with issues when it comes to being able to review because their needs of them can change quickly. Mr. Anderson moved to refer to staff to move forward with the drafting of this loitering ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Sudler stated that was a very keen observation and statement made by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Sudler noted that the community has called for the reactivation of the Human Relations Commission, and he believes that something of this magnitude needs the community’s input regarding whom they feel most comfortable. Mr. Sudler explained this is a sensitive topic and Mr. Taylor and Mr. Anderson have taken a lot of heat for the City of Dover. Mr. Sudler stated that Mr. Anderson and Mr. Taylor have also taken the time and the intelligence to listen and do their due diligence. Mr. Sudler stated that he appreciates it and supports this initiative. Mr. Anderson moved to refer to staff to move forward with the drafting of this loitering ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2022-15 - Chapter 70 by adding Section 70-9, Nuisances, and amending Appendix F, Fees, and Fines (Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections) Mr. Hugg reviewed Ordinance #2022-15-Chapter 70, Section 70-9, Nuisances, and amended Appendix F, Fees, and Fines. Staff recommended approving the Ordinance for First Reading on October 10, 2022, at the Regular City Council Meeting. Page 124

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 5 Item #5. Mr. Hare moved approving Ordinance #2022-15 for First Reading on October 10, 2022, at the Regular City Council Meeting, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Discussion Loockerman Street Assessment Tour (Councilman Ralph Taylor) Mr. Taylor reviewed the pictures in the packet under Discussion of Loockerman Street Assessment Tour. Mr. Taylor noted the tree roots, loose bricks becoming weapons, tripping hazards, damaged downspouts from fighting, and alley fencing that the police cannot see through. Mr. Taylor noted that all of these are safety hazards for the city and our citizens. Mr. Taylor stated that a decision needed to be made regarding the trees causing damage, he suggested removing them and getting trees that are more suitable for those locations. Mr. Neil stated that he hoped that all of this was being shared with the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) and Mosaic because it needs to happen but also be a part of the total plan for downtown. Mayor Christiansen pointed out that the Bond Bill gave the Downtown Dover Partnership a lot of money that could be used now for streetscape improvements. Mayor Christiansen stated that if DDP is going to be the true partner to the city, then some of those monies should be made available to address some of the issues Mr. Taylor has brought forth. Mr. Sudler stated that one way that they could deal with the roots of the trees, would be to shave the mature roots so that bedding could be placed for the pavers to be placed over. Mr. Sudler noted that they also have a foaming root killer that could be placed on the root, and it would dissolve in that area. Mr. Sudler explained that these options would not damage a mature tree but are short-term mechanisms that they could take to reinstall the bedding and concrete. Mr. Anderson agreed with Mr. Neil and thanked him for his comments. Mr. Andersons suggested they should look at different proposals and maybe look at how downtown looks and functions to make an informed decision. Mr. Anderson noted that they needed to decide quickly on how to proceed. Ms. Arndt stated that she hoped that they are not setting the stage to remove the trees, remove the brick, and put down smooth concrete. Ms. Arndt stated that she agreed with the tripping hazards and a relative immediate need to address those issues in terms of the tree and roots. Ms. Arndt stated that they learned a lot from the Bradford Street project and dealing with mature street trees that are healthy within urban environments. Ms. Arndt noted that brick sidewalks can be a maintenance headache however they are beautiful and make our downtown unique. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor explained that the photo showed the only access to the basement. Mr. Taylor noted that it may be something they are going to have to work around. Ms. Tina Bradbury, DDP stated that the bond bill that was received is not for streetscape but that it is to bring buildings up to code and get ready to be leased. Mr. Taylor moved for adjournment of the Safety, Advisory, and Transportation Committee, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m. Page 125

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 6 Item #5. Mr. Sudler announced Council would take a recess and resume at 7:35 p.m. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt and unanimously carried. Mr. Hare moved to move items #2 Purchase Ground Penetrating Radar, #3 Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Funds Applications, and #4 Aero Park Elevated Water Tank Equipment Relocation #5 Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 – Amending Chapter 110 – Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F – Fees and Fines to Consent Agenda and take one vote to approve all four items. Mr. Anderson requested to remove Item #5 Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 – Amending Chapter 110 – Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F – Fees and Fines Mr. Hare moved to move items #2 Purchase Ground Penetrating Radar, #3 Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Funds Applications, and #4 Aero Park Elevated Water Tank Equipment Relocation to Consent Agenda and take one vote to approve all three. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Electric Service Handbook Revisions (Paul Waddell, Electric Director) Mr. Paul Waddell, Electric Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Electric Service Handbook Revisions. Staff recommended approving the presented revisions to the Electric Service Handbook. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approving the presented revisions to the Electric Service Handbook, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Purchase Ground Penetrating Radar (Jason Lyon, Director of Water Wastewater) This item was approved on Consent Agenda and there was no separate discussion. Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Funds Applications (Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater) This item was approved on Consent Agenda and there was no separate discussion. Aero Park Elevated Water Tank Equipment Relocation (Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater) This item was approved on Consent Agenda and there was no separate discussion. Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 - Amending Chapter 110 - Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F - Fees and Fines (Jason Lyon, Director Water, and Wastewater) Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater, reviewed the background and analysis of Proposed Ordinance #2022-17. Page 126

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 7 Item #5. Staff recommended approval of the Ordinance for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. Mr. Lyon stated that he would like to thank Ms. Kate Mills, Water Production Manager because this would not be in front of Council without her and that she did a fantastic job putting this whole cross- connection control program together. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that it is important to realize that for the majority of residential customers, this will not impact them. Mr. Lyon noted that some exceptions were in the packet, such as if you have an irrigation system that is connected to a chemical disbursement, you must have a backflow preventer on that. Mr. Lyon stated that if you have your pool directly connected to the water service line, which is very, very rare, you must have a backflow preventer so that chlorine water cannot come back in. Mr. Lyon noted that if you have reclaimed water and if you have a fire suppression system, most residential units do not have that. Mr. Lyon explained that these fees are primarily going to be for businesses that are required to put in a backflow preventer because of the high hazard risk or if there were any sort of additional concerns that we would have. Mr. Lyon explained that it is going to be filled out in the survey, which is in the packet, and that it will be sent out to all the businesses, then they are going to return it to us. Mr. Lyon continued to explain that then the city is going to through them with our partner, National Water Specialties Company (NAWSC), and provide them with direction on which way to go. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Lyon confirmed backflow devices would need to be tested annually by a licensed contractor. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Proposed Ordinance #2022-17 – Amending Chapter 110-Cross Connection Control Program, Appendix F – Fees and Fines for first reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 7:43 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Ms. Arndt, and unanimously carried. Mr. Anderson moved to move items #4 Approval of a Grant Funded Group Violence Intervention (GVI) Crime Analyst Position and #5 Acceptance of a 1.5 Million Dollar Grant Funded Camera Expansion to Consent Agenda and take one vote to approve both items. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare. Mr. Sudler stated that he has a question for Item #4 and would like it removed from consent. Page 127

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 8 Item #5. Mr. Neil moved to approve item #5 Acceptance of a 1.5 Million Dollar Grant Funded Camera Expansion by a consent agenda. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that it is the goal to have money left over to purchase an extended warranty agreement with Advantech to push the city’s expenses off as long as possible. Chief Johnson stated that they may be able to push off the maintenance of the cameras for approximately 5 years. Chief Johnson noted that maintenance for existing cameras is roughly $65,000 -$70,000 and that there would be a modest bump from that. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that there are many shovel-ready camera locations that they could opt to build. Chief Johnson stated that their goal is to build as far as they can and leave enough funds to purchase the warranty. Chief Johnson confirmed that once the money from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds is depleted the city will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the cameras. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that the new cameras will be an upgrade. Chief Johnson explained that the current cameras have a fixed position and that they are pan and tilt cameras. Chief Johnson noted that the new upgraded cameras have fixed-position cameras that look in every direction. Mr. Sudler stated that we currently have a lot of cameras that have appeared or have been perceived to be not operational downtown. Mr. Sudler stated that there was a question from the community about the location of the cameras and how did the cameras not catch a resident jogging downtown or even the fire on Lockman Street. Did they catch the individual who may or may not have caused the fire, just hearing from different circumstances, why are these cameras not working? Or when people go to ask for certain footage, why are those cameras not working? Mr. Sudler stated that his only concern is that maybe some of the grant money that the city is receiving, should be used to make sure that the cameras that are not operational become operational, or at least demonstrate to the community that all of our cameras are operating. Mr. Sudler continued by stating that they will feel more confident in knowing that, even though this is grant money, it is still money that is given to our constituents under the stewardship of Council to guide and direct where it should go. Mr. Sudler stated he likes the initiative, and the product, it looks great. I support that, but he would be remiss if he did not echo that he wants to make sure that all of our cameras are 100% operational for the transparency of the community and also to make sure that we are being good stewards of our taxpayers' dollars moving forward. Mr. Sudler stated he is all for progression and all upgrades, but he wants to make sure that what we have now is working and moving in a way that we can show due diligence in all our efforts. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that there was a meeting a few weeks ago to achieve what Mr. Sudler has described and learn from past failures. Chief Johnson explained that the fiber optic network they are trying to build will take away a lot of the wireless line of sight interruptions. Chief Johnson further explained that a lot of the issues come from the trees blocking the line of sight and they do much better in fall and winter once the leaves fall. Page 128

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 9 Item #5. Chief Johnson stated the money that will install state-of-the-art fiber optics is in collaboration with the in-kind contribution of the electrical department. Chief Johnson further explained it will be to connect to upgrades and cameras that look in every direction so that we no longer have gaps in coverage. Chief Johnson stated that the internal infrastructure at headquarters is going to be beefed up immensely and that it will complement the health monitoring software that they already invested in to try and make sure that Advantech gets a notification within 15 minutes of a detected failure so it can be addressed immediately, rather than waiting for someone to find it the next business day. Chief Johnson explained that they are looking in all of those zones while they were doing the planning. Chief Johnson continued that they would like to think that they have looked at all the contingencies that would be of concern and that think they have got them all earmarked for resolution over the lifespan of this expansion initiative. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Chief Johnson stated that the camera at Scarborough Road which is in proximity to the tail line overpass will have visual cameras and license plate reading cameras. Mr. Ryan Kelly, Advantech, currently has license plate recognition in place throughout the City of Dover and it is working flawlessly. Mr. Kelly explained that each camera has a specific lane it concentrates on, so it does not have to wonder which lane to concentrate on. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approving Item #5 Acceptance of a 1.5 Million Dollar Grant Funded Camera Expansion by a consent agenda. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Proposed Ordinance #2022-08 - Amending Chapter 66 - Manufactured Homes, Mobile Homes, and Land Lease Communities, Section 66-3 - Manufacture; Homes and Appendix F - Fees and Fines Mr. Neil reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Proposed Ordinance #2022-08 and Attachment #1 – Letter to Dover City Council – Ordinance #2022-08. Staff recommended approving the Ordinance for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Neil stated that it is a problem that the Department of Justice has to handle because in essence, when the person leaves, even if they take the title away with them and the community owner repossesses it for the lack of rent, they are selling a home they have no right to sell. Mr. Neil stated that it is not a Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issue at this point and that you still cannot sell the home that you do not own. Mr. Neil explained that if you are selling the home, saying, "Here it is, buy it. I want to collect your rent," the person cannot resell the home. Mr. Neil continued to state that if they do not have a title, that is against the law, and that becomes a state issue that we have to turn over. Mr. Neil stated that if we recognize it because it is brought to our attention, then he thinks we have to go to the Attorney General and that this is what this ordinance calls for, to report it to the proper authorities with the state to let them deal with it. Mr. Neil noted otherwise that the house is going to stay vacant until they can get a title, but they cannot sell the home. Mr. Rocha moved to recommend approving Ordinance #2022-08 for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council meeting as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Page 129

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 10 Item #5. Proposed Ordinance #2022-10 - Amending Chapter 22 Buildings and Building Regulations, Article VII. Property Maintenance Code, Section 22-226 Violation and penalties and Appendix F - Fees and Fines Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Proposed Ordinance #2022-10. Staff recommended approving the Ordinance for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that if this ordinance passes then it would be a question for legal counsel if it could be retroactive. Ms. Gray stated historically going backward, enforcement has been a question for legal counsel. Mr. Hare suggested consulting legal counsel if this ordinance could be retroactive, if the City can send a letter asking for fines to be paid within 90 days or if a lien will be placed, or if they could simply reissue the fine with a letter. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approving Ordinance #2022-10 for the First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council meeting as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha. Ms. Arndt stated in regard to Article V on page 151 of the packet, parking in a fire lane, if the fee goes unpaid it would be a traffic violation and not tied to the property. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Gray stated she would look into it. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Kopp stated that Code Enforcement has a lien spreadsheet that they update to include information such as owner information and tax parcel id, then it will be billed through customer service. Mr. Kopp assured Council that the process is not very time-consuming and that they have an established process that they use for grass fines. Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Gray stated that as of this morning the total amount of unpaid fines between 2019-2021 is $605,800. Mr. Hare stated to Mr. Hugg that each penny of the tax increase raises $370,000 dollars and that this is part of the tax increase that we need to collect. Ms. Gray stated that the idea of this framework is that eventually, we would be bringing in fewer fines because they feel this is kind of like a parent who threatens to punish a child for bad behavior but never actually punishes them, that it ends up being a hollow threat, so the bad behavior continues. Ms. Gray stated that if the message gets out to the property owners of rental properties that there will be consequences for this behavior, then the behavior we hope will change and the properties will be better maintained. Mr. Gray stated that property owners and renters will be in better compliance and that this is the goal. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approving Ordinance #2022-10 for First Reading at the October 10, 2022, Regular City Council meeting as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Page 130

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 11 Item #5. Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings and Appendix F - Fees and Fines Ms. Mary Ellen Gray, Director of Planning and Inspections reviewed the background and analysis regarding the Proposed Ordinance #2022-14. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that Mr. Rodriguez issued a Legal Opinion in January 2020, indicating that he believes it is a violation of the landlord-tenant code- 25 Del. Coded 5101. Ms. Gray stated that this code shall regulate and determine all legal rights, remedies, and obligations of all parties and beneficiaries of any rental agreement of a rental unit within the state whenever, wherever executed. Any rental agreement, whether written or oral, shall be unenforceable, in so far as the agreement or any provision thereof conflicts with any provision of this code and is not expressly authorized herein. Mr. Sudler suggested contacting the Division of Human Relations that oversees HUD or contacting the board that puts together the landlord-tenant code for an opinion. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Gray stated that she attended the Fair Housing Act seminars in previous positions. Tracey Harvey also attends those training and provides background regarding that from the Delaware State Housing Authority, they do this every five years, and they assess our entities who receive Community Development Block Grant program money. Ms. Gray stated that there is a report that reviews every entity on how we are doing with fair housing and how we are implementing the Community Development Block Grant. Ms. Gray stated that she would bring forward that report. Mr. Anderson stated the opinion, which conflicted with the Deputy City Solicitor who drafted the ordinance, Representative Lynn, and Mr. Peraza. Mr. Anderson stated that to remedy that, we went through all the trouble of changing the charter to specifically allow for the City of Dover to deal with rental issues and safe communities. Mr. Anderson explained that the 2020 opinion does not consider the state law which just passed and was signed on September 9, 2022. Mr. Anderson stated that he inquired about that with Mr. Rodriguez, and he agrees that it means that the whole opinion, not saying what the result is, but the whole opinion would have to be revisited because the laws have changed. Mr. Anderson stated that he did not think that this should be part of that discussion and that we plan to put that on an Agenda in late October to give time for review, and that this should not be part of this ordinance. Mr. Anderson moved that the provisions regarding safe communities be stricken and deferred for another time. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare. Ms. Arndt stated that she is in support of striking the safe communities’ provisions from the ordinance. Ms. Arndt agreed with the solicitor that there is a conflict with the landlord-tenant code and the state housing position that it is a discriminatory practice. Ms. Arndt continued that the criminal activity is outlined within the safe community section of the ordinance. Ms. Arndt asked why that would only apply to renters. Ms. Arndt continues that criminal activity is criminal activity and that the way it is written, it targets renters specifically, and renters are more likely to be people of color. Ms. Arndt stated that she believes that is the basis for the opposition to the Fair Housing Act. Ms. Arndt stated that she would be in favor of, as written, striking the provision from the current ordinance. Page 131

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 12 Item #5. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kopp stated that in regard to the agent required, the reason why we were striking out the family member is we have had several problems with properties where a designated family member is on site. Mr. Kopp explained that they are going out to a property three or four times because that family member is a tenant and a friend. Mr. Kopp continued that the owner would call us and be like, "Oh, hey, my brother's going to be there” and it is a tenant who is representing the property, and then it is not brought back into compliance. Mr. Kopp further explained that a lot of things they are discovering are, there are a lot of life safety concerns out here, the authorized agent, who is a family member does not get the message across to the owner, or the owner is out of state, and they cannot get ahold of the owner or the authorized agent whom they have listed. Mr. Kopp noted that is why we would like to require a property manager, somebody who is in Kent County who can respond. Mr. Kopp stated they have had several issues where, whether it is trash, a leaking pipe, or floors caving in because they have encountered that. Mr. Kopp continued that the owners could be in Hawaii, or let's say Afghanistan on deployment and are trying to get ahold of this authorized agent, who is nowhere to be found or does not exist. Mr. Kopp explained by having that agent required, is going to better assist the tenant in the event of an emergency, or if we do find violations within the property, the agent can better assist us to get in compliance. Mr. Kopp noted that in their history when there is a property manager assigned to the property, a licensed property manager, they tend to get these violations issued a lot faster or corrected a lot faster. Responding to Mr. Hare, Mr. Kopp stated that even though an owner leaves contact information, it is hard to get ahold of them and for them to get compliant in emergencies. Mr. Kopp stated that this is more geared toward emergencies. Mr. Kopp explained that they do have several emergencies where they cannot contact anybody and, unfortunately, they end up having to condemn the unit and displace the tenants, and then they are out on their own because again, they cannot get ahold of the owner. Mr. Anderson noted that the code already stated that the authorized agent and the family member of the individual must be in the county already. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Gray stated that line 55 can mirror line 112 of the ordinance to define property insurance. Responding to Ms. Arndt, Mr. Kopp stated that it will be yearly inspections that will take place with every new license, not renewed licenses. Mr. Kopp explained that code enforcement already does this as a best practice and is asking it to be placed in the code. Ms. Arndt suggested a performance-based licensing system, where you consider the property code, nuisance violations, and tax compliance so that landlords who are in good standing are incentivizing them. Mr. Arndt discussed a fee reduction or some sort of incentive package for the landlords that are doing a good job as opposed to the landlords that are not maintaining their properties. Mr. Neil moved to table Item #4 Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler. Page 132

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 13 Item #5. Mr. Taylor stated we look at sections 22-333, and we were just talking about the property manager, section A is line number 90. Mr. Taylor continued, that if we go down to line number 99, section B, to incorporate some of that language. Mr. Taylor explained any corporation or partnership owning a rental dwelling shall have a designated member, partner, or employee having charged care or control of the rental property. Mr. Neil moved to recommend tabling Item #4 Proposed Ordinance #2022-14 - Chapter 22- Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X.- Rental Dwellings, and Appendix F - Fees and Fines. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Approval of a Grant Funded Group Violence Intervention (GVI) Crime Analyst Position (Chief Thomas Johnson, Dover Police Department Chief Johnson yielded to questions from Council. Staff recommended approving the grant-funded position as requested. Mr. Sudler asked regarding the proposed new position for the GVI Crime Analyst position, is there some statistical over workload or data indicating that the demand of the current Crime Analysis Position that we have is being overworked or overwhelmed? Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated the crime analyst that they have right now is a hybrid position, he does crime analysis, but he is also the accreditation manager, which means he's heavily involved in the development and the maintenance of policy and procedure for the CALEA accreditation. Chief Johnson noted that he handles the general policing crime analyst duties. Chief Johnson stated that naively as a department when GVI came to us and turned the program on, we thought that we could handle what we thought was going to be a limited number of clients and a limited number, that we assessed as not a heavy lift on information, not only collecting, but the big piece is the information sharing. Chief Johnson explained that when you take into consideration under the umbrella of the Department of Corrections, the Department of Health of Human Services, and the other state law enforcement agencies in our federal partners, we had no idea the amount of time this was going to burden Case Detectives in making sure that everybody involved in GVI is on the same page, particularly when we have an event where shots are fired and folks that have other roles to play need real-time data as to what is going on in an investigation. Chief Johnson stated that we started the year with him hearing, "Chief, we will be all right, we do not need this analyst. We got this." And then by the middle of the summer, it was, "Yeah, Chief, we were wrong. We need this analyst." Chief Johnson stated that coincidentally, the same point of contact in the Governor's office brought to us the camera expansion opportunity through ARPA. Chief Johnson stated that apparently, they did not realize at the time that ARPA was being considered as the funding source for this position by the Governor's office. Chief Johnson stated that when they started talking about the cameras, the spreadsheet that is in the packet had personnel at the top line that had not been there before. However, they are merging both the camera project and the crime analyst into the same budget from their perspective. Chief Johnson stated that from the city’s standpoint, there is a difference between a camera expansion project and a mid-season addition of personnel. Page 133

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 14 Item #5. Chief Johnson wanted to make Council aware of the way that they have this structured in the ask in case this money ever runs out. Chief Johnson stated that the state intends to continue funding beyond this three-year window. Chief Johnson continued to state that in the event, that there is some kind of philosophical change or a barrier that makes that impossible, the way they are doing this is that Council can turn this position off, at almost a moment's notice because it is part-time at the maximum number of allowable hours. Chief Johnson stated that if it is Council's pleasure at that time not to fund the position through city tax dollars that it will be 100% at the discretion of Council if it is not funded anymore by the state. Chief Johnson noted that there is currently no money out of pocket from city dollars to make this position start. Chief Johnson stated that if the state suddenly must step away from it, we have no other match or obligation from that day forward to continue. Chief Johnson noted that Council is 100% free to do as they wish at that time. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated that if this is denied then the case detectives will not have as much time to do, such as major case detectives that are in our drug, vice, and organized crime units, who are some of the lead personalities with the GVI program. Chief Johnson noted that they are not working cases if they are typing reports and making tons of phone calls and generating emails. Chief Johnson stated that not only the GVI staff at the state level, but corrections, probation, parole, health human services, anybody that is involved with a GVI client who is sending us information, and then the information that we generate on a GVI client that we have to share with all those other entities, that burden cannot stop, and it is mostly a safety issue. Chief Johnson explained that a lot of the GVI, non-law enforcement practitioners are in the field on their own, and if they do not know in real-time that there is a conflict in progress or beef going on, then they could be walking into something. Chief Johnson stated that they have to step up their game to be as real-time as they can with information sharing, which is why they are finding this position so crucial. Mr. Sudler asked Chief Johnson if there was a process other than verbally saying to the Chief, is there a process where they write and give a description regarding in what areas a breakdown, so that the justification, the rationale is in black and white on paper? Responding to Mr. Sudler, Chief Johnson stated there is a process in place. Chief Johnson stated that in early '21 he wanted to try and make sure he captured hourly utilization. Chief Johnson stated that the annual report that he provided, was the first draft of them attempting to capture the number of hours that they spend on any particular task. Chief Johnson continued that there are categories for that information is captured and that in some of its investigations, you could go all the way down. How long they are taking in the transport of prisoners from point A to point B? Chief Johnson explained that he is trying to build a cadre of data to justify any further requests that he might have to bring to Council going forward in future years. Chief Johnson noted that he does not have a specific category that discusses hours that are involved in administrative time for GVI and that he is unsure if he could go in reverse to get that information. Chief Johnson stated that he is trusting Lieutenant Dickinson and the rest of the GVI team, which includes stakeholders outside of the Dover PD, where the consensus is. Chief Johnson noted that Wilmington ended up having to do the same thing and that they have more than one because of the number of clients that they have. Chief Johnson explained that they are just starting with one and that Page 134

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 PAGE 15 Item #5. they are starting it out in a way that has the most flexibility for them to make decisions in the future to the pleasure of the department and Council as far as funding it. Chief Johnson noted that he wished he had a better answer for Council President as to the exact data that drove the request but that they are still moving towards our first calling, which is going to bring more clients under the umbrella of GVI. Chief Johnson continued that from then, all the things that occur from that calling date will require top-shelf information sharing, and it is more analyst work than it is police work. Responding to Chief Johnson, Mr. Sudler stated that he wished he could support this initiative, but without the data, he cannot justify approval from his perspective. Mr. Sudler stated that he does support Dover PD, but that is his opinion, and he is just one vote. Mr. Hare stated that the Chief has his support and that this is something the officers needed, they came to the chief for it, and it is not costing the City money, and he does not see the downside of approving it. Mr. Hare moved to recommend approving the grant-funded position as requested by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and passed 7 in favor to 1 opposed (Mr. Sudler). Mr. Rocha moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 8:56 p.m. Mr. Sudler moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting, hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned at 8:56 p.m. Roy Sudler, Jr. Council President RS/re S:\AGENDAS-MINUTES-PACKETS\Committee-Minutes\TEMPLATES\COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE TEMPLATE.docx Attachments Attachment #1 - Attachment #1 – Letter to Dover City Council – Proposed Ordinance #2022-08 Page 135

ATTACHMENT #1 Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of 09/27/2022 Item #5. To: My Dover City Council Colleagues Sept. 27, 2022 From: Fred Neil, 3rd District Re: Ordinance 2022-08, Primer on Leased Land Housing Scope: Mobile Housing has moved from vacation homes to permanent domiciles on rented land. Think teachers with summers off having a mobile vacation home in Sussex County. If unhappy with the landlord, drive off to another community. With time and the economy, those homes became permanent domiciles and spread throughout Delaware. In 1974, HUD set standards to improve the quality of these manufactured homes. ! Each home has a HUD serial number. Delaware treats these homes as vehicles and provides a Title for each home recorded by DMV. When the original buyer sells the home the Title is handled just as with a vehicle sale. Can you sell something you have taken possession of legally, but if you do not have a legal Title signed over to you, can you sell it? ! Manufactured homes come in various sizes and styles. Most common are Single Wides brought to the community on wheels. These are removed and the homes are placed on cinder blocks and usually skirted. In Dover, the owner of this type of home pays an annual fee. ! My community Wild Meadows was created as an upscale community with the homes on a permanent foundation, with one or two car garages, and are assessed as are other properties every 5 years. My home is 1728 sq ft. Not only do we pay city & county taxes individually, but under State law we pay the property taxes on the community through our rents . ! The equity of the tenant homeowner is always at risk. The maintenance of the home falls on the homeowner. The requirements of the landlord is spelled out in the lease to be en forced by the State. Code 25, Chapter 70 which lacks teeth in enforcement powers. ! The City of Dover provides far more protection to leased land home owners than the State of Delaware. Missing from State law is the requirement for a receipt for rents paid; management availability requirements, and snow removal requirements within the private community. City Code inspectors enforce city ordinances requiring the maintenance of the community. ! The $1.6 million taken out of the Dover and State economy from Wild Meadows with very small cost of the operation and no return in benef its, is a separate subject for discussion. What prompted Ordinance 2022-08 is from the desperate struggles to have a roof over their heads by low income homeowners in a standard community and our role in their health and safety. ! Depending upon the philosophy of the community owner, a house in the community may be owned or rented. The house could be rented by the community owner or an individual. Our Code Inspectors can not inspect a privately owned home, but they are required to inspect a rental. This ordinance is designed to help our Code Inspector to determine which homes are being rented. The community owner should know if an individually owned home is being rented. ! Only when a complaint was made, did we find out, homes sold by the community owner, the buyers were not given the Title which would permit them to legally sell the house. This is apparently a wide spread practice which we have placed into the hands of the DOJ. ! Requiring a Certificate of Occupancy by Landlord sold homes should dramatically increase the health & safety of the buyer and their families. Page 136

Item #5. I provided Case histories following a request from the Delaware Manufactured Homeowners Association (DMHOA) previously. In brief, our Code Inspectors acted with alacrity showing that a homeowner had complied with a required clean-up and saved her from eviction from the Kings Cliffe leased land community. What followed were an immediate condemnation of house with a family of 4 required to leave almost immediately, the revelation of shells of houses being sold that were a threat to buyer’s health and safety, and what I believe to be illegal sale of houses where the buyers did not receive the Title to home required by law. The Nickell Family Story: When our Code Inspector examined the rented house they were living in fir 4 years by the disabled parents and 2 children, she gave them 3 hours to move out. For 4 years, the Nicholls had been asking the manager for multiple fixes including dangerous electrical problems. Our Code Inspector declared the house uninhabitable. T he house did nit have a door knob to only exit. It had to be pried open with a knife. The family could find no place to live in Delaware they could afford. Others in the community frightened to complaint because they do not want to lose their homes such as it is. I interviewed 2 homeowners who never received Titles with their home purchase: Disabled veteran William Bar, with on-set of memory problems has an adult autistic son living with him. His ex-wife bought the house for him and visits on weekends from New York. The house cost $2,000.$7,000 was spend supplies and 6 months of sweat equity, thanks to younger family members, before home was ready for occupancy. Was the house put together correctly? Amanda Darwick purchased this shell of house a year ago from the Community Owner using a Debit Card for $4,250, Interest unknown. The shell had holes in the wall, floors in many rooms were missing, no cabinets and no toilet. She paid credit card $4000 to m ake it habitable. She requested but never received the DMV Title. She was threatened with eviction for non-payment of rent. Community gets home back in better condition than when should, but is it safe. Where’s the Title? An HOA was formed and incorporated. I was asked to sit in the meeting with the HOA and Community Manager. The manager complained that I was abusive and threatening. 1st you know me, and 2nd there are witnesses. I want to put that out as we proceed with this proposed ordinance for transparency purposes. I have provided you with a Primer on leased land housing and the headlines of media stories of the money extracted from low and middle income families, seniors and retired military who have virtually no protection from financial abuse. Affordable housing is at the cornerstone of our lives and out economy. The ordinance is a small step forward to protect a very vulnerable population. On the reverse of the Primer are headlines of media reports that I have in my Library. Please advise if you wish to read the original story. Questions? Page 137

Item #22. Information Technology Department August 2022 Report Larry Josefowski, Director Metrics: Sophisticated attacks against the network continue to increase, which reinforce our vigilant, multi- tiered approach. Incident counts are slightly up, which may reflect better data capture due to an improved ticketing system we have implemented. Future data will include how quickly we respond and how quickly issues are resolved. The “Phishing hits” is a measure how many people are responding to internal phishing exercises. We remain well below the threshold, but still have some responding to the test probes. The final chart is closely related. It is from our training provider, with the risk score based on a number of factors such as completion and grades on the training modules, how well we do on the phishing exercises, and other factors. Network Security (Internal): The old core switches that were made redundant were the newly installed switches were removed, and work on their configuration continued. Segmenting of the network traffic for department data will be the next step, which we anticipate will improve performance. End of life equipment continues to be an issue. 10 switches were ordered, but supply chain issues may push delivery out to the end of the 2nd quarter 2023. However, 2 switches that were ordered last fall are expected to arrive in early August. Network Security (External): We tested another tool on directors to prevent accidental clicks with a tool provided as part for our training platform. This “Second Chance” tool provides the client with the full link before they click on attachments in links. Clicking on malicious links is a primary gateway for malware, and we believe this improves the security of the system. We will be expanding this tool to all staff in August. We also discussed options regarding the change of domain to .GOV. This likely will come about first on our public website, and later on our other network systems such as email. Any change will allow both old and new domains to work for a fairly long period of time. Other: Our Senior Lan Analyst left at the end of July for a Cybersecurity Analyst position with the University of Delaware. His presence will be missed, and we have advertised for the position. We attended several meetings hosted by the State of Delaware on grants that will be available to local municipalities. Part of this is the development of state plans on their cybersecurity plans for local communities, and Dover is on that committee. Tyler/Munis: Costs of a support contract and a disaster recovery solution have been received by Tyler, and it is a significant amount – each approximately 25% more on top of our existing contract. We’ve also asked for a quite on their disaster recover service. Right now, if a significant disaster such as fire or a flood occurred in this area, it would take a significant amount of time to restore the system to full operations, with acquisition of the necessary hardware (switches and servers) taking several weeks at a minimum. Additional time to configure switches and reimage servers could increase the amount of time needed to get Tyler back up and running. SCADA for Electric: Follow up discussions were held with the various vendors, and hardware was ordered after several reviews. Server hardware, however, is being impacted by supply chain issues, and there currently is a significant delay expected in getting the hardware. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - 1 Page 160

CHIEF’S ADVISORY COMMITTEE 4|Page Page 196

Item #24. The Police Chief’s Advisory Committee (PCAC) is comprised of nine (9) diverse stakeholders living/working in the City of Dover. It meets regularly to provide input/feedback to the Chief on the various operations of the agency. August activity is as follows:  The Advisory Committee met on August 10, 2022. Youth representative advised that she is currently organizing the sub-committee members from Dover HS. This process will continue into the new school year. She is hopeful for a September first meeting.  The committee was asked to offer feedback on a draft version of our recruitment video that is under construction. Comments were generally positive but certain sections appeared a little bit staged. Recommendations were to add more community activities to the “B-roll” footage.  The committee was briefed on the ongoing discussions related to our local loitering ordinance. With no major criticisms to the draft recommendation, the Council members that were present stated that it would be brought into council consideration during the month of December.  The committee made plans to set the next meeting date via email as there were several potential schedule challenges. PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES  The second hiring cycle produced 3 candidates and offers of employment were made. Those offers were accepted and a total of 6 Dover Recruit Officers will enter the Dover Municipal Police Academy on October 9, 2022. The combined effort of both cycles did not cover all open positions. The Department continues to advertise and the next cycle of assessment will be in early October. There is still one potential candidate on military deployment and may be available for the beginning of 2023.  The State law was recently modified on the topic of truck parking. A copy of HB479 was sent to the City Manager for his review. It appears that an authority has been established to accept applications to ban this troublesome parking on select highways of concern. Much needs to be learned about the new statute including the approval process.  The Police Department held its annual “National Night Out” at the Dover High School with very large turnout from the community. We would like to that the many organizations from around Dover, our military service members, our public safety partners, our co-workers from the City and our community for coming together to enjoy an evening of fun and discovery. Please visit our website at www.doverpolice.org for up to date information on crimes and activities in the City of Dover. Respectfully Submitted, Chief of Police 5|Page Page 197

Technology, Management September 22, 2022 Mr. Eddie Kopp, Chief Code Enforcement Officer City of Dover, Division of Code Enforcement P.O. Box 475 Dover, Delaware 19903 Reference: 233,235,237, and 239 West Loockerman Street, Dover, Delaware: Summary of an Asbestos NESHAP Inspection. Dear Mr. Kopp: The above referenced buildings were inspected by Compliance Environmental, Inc. for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in accordance with the Asbestos National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) in 40 CFR Part 61, and the State of Delaware Regulations Governing the Control of Air Pollution, Regulation No. 21 Section 10. The inspection was performed September 7, 8, and 9, 2022 and was limited to testing of exposed and accessible building components. The inspection included a three-story commercial building that consists of (3) first floor store front businesses and (6) apartment units (approximately 15,368 total square- feet) located on the property. However, due to heavy fire damage and possible structural damage within the building, not all areas of the building could be safely accessed during the inspection. Therefore, this inspection did not include opening inaccessible areas within the floors, walls, or ceilings. Also, due to unsafe conditions, this inspection did not include moving building materials and fIre damaged debris that was observed on floor surfaces to prevent possible release of asbestos fIbers. Please refer to drawings in Attachment B for areas of the floors that were inaccessible from debris. It is anticipated that the building will be demolished. During the inspection, bulk samples were collected from both exterior and interior building materials suspected of containing asbestos. See Attachment B for sample location drawings. Samples were sent via overnight delivery to EMSL Analytical, Inc., an independent analytical laboratory located in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, for asbestos analysis of bulk materials using Polarized Light Microscopy (See Attachment C). According to the State of Delaware, all materials identifIed as having an asbestos content greater than one-percent asbestos content are regulated. Therefore, prior to any disturbance of ACMs including renovation or demolition activities, a State of Delaware licensed asbestos abatement contractor must be employed to properly remove all ACMs. Compliance Environmental, Inc.

Item #26. Mr. Eddie Kopp 233,235,237, and 239 West Loockerman St, Dover, Delaware: September 22,2022 Summary of an Asbestos NESHAP Inspection Page 2 of3 Based on the laboratory analytical results of samples, exterior and interior ACMs are listed in Table 1. Please refer to Attachment A for Table 1. Prior to disturbing any asbestos-containing materials, a State of Delaware licensed asbestos abatement contractor must be employed to properly remove any asbestos-containing materials. Please refer to Attachment B for asbestos location drawings. In addition, all asbestos-containing materials must be properly handled, stored, transported and disposed. After all asbestos abatement is completed, a State of Delaware licensed asbestos firm should be employed to perform a final clearance inspection to verify all asbestos-containing materials have been properly abated from the building prior to demolition or renovation activities. Additionally, building materials located under debris and in the floors, walls, and ceiling were inaccessible, due to unsafe conditions. Since a complete inspection could not be performed at the building, it is possible there are asbestos-containing materials and suspect asbestos-containing materials that have not been tested located in inaccessible portions of the building. Therefore, we recommend a State of Delaware licensed professional firm and asbestos abatement contractor be onsite during all demolition activities to properly remove any asbestos-containing materials identified during building demolition. Further, we recommend preparing a work plan prior to demolition which identifies hazards and procedures and protocols which will be used during the demolition process.

The above analyses were perfonmed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 "Interim Method") but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 ("final") version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal govemment. Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample.

COMPLIANCE ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. 150 South Bradford Street, Dover, Delaware 19904 Phone: 302-674-4427 Fax: 302-674-4429 www.compliancecanhelp.com Science, Technology, Management October 4, 2022 Mr. Eddie Kopp, Chief Code Enforcement Officer City of Dover, Planning and Inspections City Hall, 15 East Loockerman Street Dover, Delaware 19901 Reference: 233, 235, 237 and 239 W. Loockerman Street: Phase 2 Asbestos Abatement Budget Estimate. Dear Mr. Kopp: Compliance Environmental, Inc. (CEI) was asked to prepare a budget cost estimate for the Phase 2 asbestos abatement work anticipated at the above referenced location. As you know, the building was subjected to fire damage with some locations within the building currently unsafe to enter. Because of this condition, the asbestos abatement project would involve a two-step phased process: Phase 1 is the safe removal all exposed asbestos-containing materials and Phase 2, the removal of the remaining asbestos-containing materials assisted by the building demolition process. Attached is our Phase 2 asbestos abatement budget estimate using time and material rates from Bristol Environmental, Inc. (Bristol), the low bidder for Phase 1 of the project. In summary, we estimate the cost of the Phase 2 asbestos abatement work by Bristol to be $ 38,706.10 and should be considered a budgetary number for the project. The actual cost of Phase 2 will vary based upon project conditions. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call my office. Sincerely, COMPLIANCE ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
