Community planning provides an opportunity for all residents to be involved in making choices that determine the future of their community and requires public officials and citizens who understand, support, and demand excellence in plan development and implementation; 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 that sound planning and plan implementation make to the quality of our communities and environment; and WHEREAS, the 2019 National Community Planning Month theme, "Planning for Infrastructure That Benefits All," highlights how well-planned infrastructure projects, including roadways, transportation systems, housing, parks, and even broadband networks strengthen communities, boost the economy, expand opportunity and promote equitable development. NOW THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2019 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 and the valuable contributions made by other community and regional planners and our partner agencies at the State and County levels.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 3 PROCLAMATION - CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, we recognize the vital role that technology has in our daily lives and in 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 increasing 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 2019 Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, "Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT." emphasizes the role each individual plays in online safety and stresses the importance of taking proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity at home and in the workplace; 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 information infrastructure and economy. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim October 2019 as CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to learn about cyber security and put that knowledge into practice.

PROCLAMATION - FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 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 2019 Fire Prevention Week theme, "Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!" effectively serves to remind residents to take personal steps to increase fire safety; and WHEREAS, homes are the locations where people are at greatest risk from a fire. It is vital for residents to identify places in their homes where fires can start and eliminate those hazards, and have a planned and practiced home fire escape plan; and WHEREAS, working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half; therefore, residents should install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 4 and on every level of the home. Residents should listen for the sound of the smoke alarm and if it sounds, respond by going outside immediately to the designated meeting place. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim October 6 - 12, 2019 as FIRE PREVENTION WEEK in the City of Dover and urge all residents to be aware of their surroundings, look for available ways out in the event of a fire or other emergency, respond when the smoke alarm sounds by exiting the building immediately, and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of the City of Dover's fire emergency services. On behalf of the Mayor and Council, Mayor Christiansen presented the proclamation to Deputy Fire Chief O'Connor. PROCLAMATION - HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-TREAT 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 of 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 WHEREAS, parents are urged to join in the festivities by accompanying their children throughout their journeys in celebrating Halloween Trick-or-Treat and 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 which 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 the 31st day of October 2019, between the hours of 6:00 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 Cole Warren and Rory Copple. Mayor Christiansen noted that Ms. Amber Luff, Cole and Rory’s mother, would be leaving her position in the City Clerk’s Office. He stated that she had done an exemplary job and that her smiling face would be missed. PROCLAMATION - RECOVERY MONTH The City Clerk read the following Proclamation into the record: WHEREAS, mental and substance use disorders affect all communities nationwide, but with commitment and support, people with these disorders can achieve healthy lifestyles and lead rewarding lives in recovery. By seeking help, people who experience mental and substance use

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 5 disorders can embark on a new path toward improved health and overall wellness. The focus of Recovery Month this September is to celebrate their journey with the theme "Join the Voices for Recovery: Together We Are Stronger" and to spread the message that treatment is effective, and people can and do recover every day; and WHEREAS, the impact of mental and substance use disorders is apparent in our local community. In 2017, 346 Delawareans died from drug overdoses and opioids accounted for 84% of the deaths and preliminary estimates for 2018 indicate 419 overdose deaths across the state, a 21% increase from 2017. In 2018, first responders administered 3,728 doses of naloxone, which is a 30% increase compared to 2,861 doses in 2017; and WHEREAS, through Recovery Month, people become more aware and able to recognize the signs of mental and substance use disorders, which can lead more people into needed treatment. Managing the effects of these conditions can help people achieve healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally; and WHEREAS, the Recovery Month observance continues to improve the lives of those affected by mental and substance use disorders by raising awareness of these diseases and educating communities about the prevention, treatment, and recovery resources that are available. Local resources include the City of Dover Police Department's ANGEL Program, and the State of Delaware's Help is Here program and, nationally, The Herren Project is an available resource. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE, do hereby proclaim September 2019 as RECOVERY MONTH in the City of Dover and call upon our community to observe this month with compelling programs and events that support this year's Recovery Month theme "Join the Voices for Recovery: Together We Are Strong," and take a stand against substance abuse by participating in Delaware Goes Purple.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 10 Public Hearing - Proposed Ordinance #2019-16 Amending Chapter 102 - Taxation of the Dover Code by inserting a new Article VII - Lodging Tax Mr. Neil read the following statement into the record: “The Mayor and I serve as the City's representatives on the Kent County Tourism Board. I have witnessed the renaissance of this Board since 2015 into a vibrant, moving forward force to bring visitors to Dover and Kent County. A look at Delaware's Quaint Villages, the Kent County Tourism website shows why more and more visitors have reasons to come and are coming here. I took the Certified Tourism Ambassador Training program and passed, which disproves the statement that "You Can't teach Old Dogs New Tricks." As the worse Lacrosse Player in the University of Maryland history, I love DE Turf because it brings a continuing flow of visitors to this area... but so does NASCAR, Firefly, College Graduations, Homecoming Football Games, the State Legislature, the Kent County Tourism outreach and the miscellaneous other reasons that bring people here. I do know that Hotel/Motel owners receive top dollar when demand is high. They also pay fees to booking agents if rooms are booked through those agencies including those with agreements with DE Turf... plus a fee if they have an agreement with DE Turf. Should we implement this Lodging Tax, they will NOT pay that tax nor will the City Taxpayers. It is a lot cheaper to pay the small additional fee than to pay for the gas to travel to New Castle or Sussex County to stay... and more convenient too. If the City uses this additional money for infrastructure, as I hope it will be used, then I regard this as a User Fee that currently falls solely on the City Taxpayers. Keep in mind, during the recession, much of the infrastructure, including machinery, was extended far beyond its life expectancy. The emergency repairs of these infrastructure items cost far more than scheduled replacement would cost. Since both the City and the County can levy this Tax, I certainly will seek a reasonable approach in the amount to set, but it will be implemented. City taxpayers deserve no less.” Mr. Hare declared the public hearing open. Mr. K.C. Sheth, 21 St. Annes Court, noted that he had been a City resident for 50 years, and had served on the City's Board of Adjustment for 27 years, and as former Chairman of the Board for Kent County Tourism. He expressed concern regarding the proposed lodging tax, explaining that it would negatively impact the hotel industry in the City, especially since property and school taxes were just

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 11 increased. Mr. Sheth stated that he thought that infrastructure was an issue for every resident of the City, so they should carry the burden equally. Mr. Victor Schimp, 163 Stonewater Way, stated that he had been a resident of Dover since 1969 and had worked in the hospitality industry since 1973, starting at the age of 14. He informed members that he had served as a former Chairman of the Delaware Hotel and Lodging Association, former Chairman of Kent County Tourism, and as former Chairman of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce, so he has a vested interest in the hotel industry, tourism, and business in general, and cannot sit idly by and watch the industry get hit with a potential 75% increase in public accommodations tax (PAT). He expressed concern regarding the adverse impact that a City and County lodging tax would have on the hotel industry. Mr. Schimp noted that he had heard talk regarding a slowdown approach to the tax increase of 1% or 1.5% and suggested that the legislation be rewritten with a 1% or 1.5% cap. Ms. Bessie Crain, 855 Townsend Boulevard, asked why a nonprofit organization was benefitting from this lodging tax and what the monies would be used to fund, noting that no one was providing any information. Responding, Mr. Lindell clarified that, in regard to a nonprofit organization benefitting, Kent County was considering a lodging tax which would go to DE Turf. He stated that the City was not part of that proposal. Mr. Lindell noted that he thought members planned to discuss what the proposed lodging taxes would fund following the public hearing. Mrs. Sara Herbert, 223 North Bradford Street, expressed concern regarding the proposed lodging tax. She referenced an article from the Delaware State News, indicating that if both the County and City measures are implemented, the lodging tax rate in the City of Dover limits would rise to 14%, making it the highest hotel tax in the state. She stated that she thought it was Council's job to protect businesses and not make it harder on them. Mrs. Herbert stated that it was her understanding that Kent County Levy Court would be the body to approve the countywide increase, and noted that she was hearing that the rate would be set at 1%, however, she did not trust it. She expressed concern that the County had not yet scheduled discussions regarding the tax and questioned why the City would set a tax rate and meet to discuss this matter on September 23, 2019 before they know what Kent County Levy Court is going to do. Mrs. Herbert explained that if the City and County both set lodging tax rates at 3%, then the rate will be up to at least 14%. She stated that she thought that a City tax should go to the City and no where else, noting that the City's downtown and infrastructure need work. Mrs. Herbert also expressed concern that the lodging tax legislation was pushed through the state legislature at the last minute and was unfair and poorly thought out, noting that DE Turf bragged about the fact that they were not going to use any tax money, and they are a nonprofit that has been making a profit. Mr. Sam Chick, 115 West Loockerman Street, expressed concern regarding the negative impacts the proposed lodging tax increase would have on the economy of Dover, noting that it would be an increase for the hoteliers because there is already

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 12 an 8% state lodging tax in Delaware. He indicated that the tax would not only impact hotel occupancy but all businesses, explaining that by taking the money through the lodging tax, it could not be spent in the City. Mr. Chick noted that he did not feel it was fair to impose another tax, especially since taxes were recently increased, but stated that he did not disagree with the principle that the City should get some lodging tax. He suggested that if the City wanted a lodging tax, they should go back to the General Assembly and ask them for a portion of the existing 8%. In response to Mr. Chick, Mr. Neil stated that the 8% that the state collects is divided among the counties for tourism uses, with the smallest portion going to Kent County and the largest to New Castle County. He noted that he did not think that the lodging tax would keep anyone from staying in Dover, explaining that they would have to stay somewhere if they want to see their child play at DE Turf. Responding, Mr. Chick stated that five-eighths of the state lodging tax goes to the General Fund, so there is plenty of money sitting there. He suggested that there are other ways to approach this than increasing taxes. Mr. Chick questioned why people would want to stay in or build a hotel in Dover if the taxes are higher in the City than they are in the surrounding County or any of the municipalities. He suggested that it would be better for Council to maintain what they have, explaining that he thought it would make the City more competitive for lodging and more hotels would be built here because it would be more of an economic advantage than the rest of the state. Mr. Joe Fitzgerald, speaking on behalf of the Delaware Hotel Lodging Association, expressed opposition to the tax increase and concern regarding the potential economic impact of the tax. He stated that the Delaware Hotel Lodging Association was very concerned about the manner in which the legislation was passed by the General Assembly. He explained that, while they were only enabling legislation for the City and County, he thought they still merited a committee hearing and should have gone through the regular process so stakeholders could have an opportunity to weigh in on how they thought these taxes would affect them. Mr. Schimp clarified that the 8% state PAT is currently allocated as follows: 5% to the General Fund, 1% to the State Tourism Office, 1% to beach replenishment, and 1% allocated to the three counties based on the proportion of lodging revenue. Mr. Hare noted that when the General Assembly passed the enabling legislation for New Castle and Sussex Counties, they stipulated that they could only tax unincorporated areas; however, the legislation for Kent County did not include that stipulation. He expressed concern that Kent County is not treated equally, noting that Kent County does not receive equal treatment regarding payment of in lieu of taxes (PILOT) either. Mr. Hare stated that he thought the County would implement a 3% lodging tax and if the City implements a 1.5% lodging tax, the City would have the lowest lodging tax in the state. He stated that the County's tax would all go to DE Turf, which he thought would guarantee no future property tax increases from the County, explaining that it would be difficult to raise taxes and give $1M to a nonprofit. Mr. Hare stated that the money collected from the City's lodging tax

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 13 would be used to help reduce expenses within the City, which would benefit everyone. Mr. Anderson moved to amend line 8 of Proposed Ordinance #2019-16 by inserting after rent, "starting with an initial rate of 1.5%." The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Anderson stated that the total revenue for a 1.5% lodging tax rate was still being projected and unknown, but the revenue projections would be approximately $350,000, plus or minus $50,000. Mr. Sudler stated that he thought it was apparent that the City's hoteliers would endure a financial hardship with the proposed lodging tax, and without stating how the City plans on utilizing the funds, he could not currently support any initiative for a lodging tax. Mr. Slavin stated that he was sensitive to the comments regarding the stacking of taxes, explaining that while it is a decision for the City to raise its own taxes, the City has a beneficial relationship with Kent County Levy Court and has always tried to have a peaceful coexistence, so he thought they needed to take that into account. He stated that he thought that any motion passed by the Committee should specifically state that any revenues raised go to infrastructure deferred maintenance in the City. Mr. Slavin also suggested that if the City were to set an initial rate of 1.5%, it should be stepped specifically in .5% increments over a period of time, to allow the ability to take the rate back down if needed. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought that the state lodging tax was basically an 11% tax now with the rates that had been set by the counties and municipalities. He explained that the Committee motion's would set a level, which he hoped would be an example to the county not to exceed. Mr. Anderson stated that since people had not stayed away from other places in the state that had implemented lodging taxes, he did not think they would stay away from Dover, since Dover is a place that tourists come and enjoy. He explained that he thought the motion was reasonable because it provides some measure of economic certainty. Mr. Anderson cautioned that if the City did not set a level now, it would leave the door open for the County to set a higher level, up to 3%, and he wanted the money to stay in the City to help make it a more economically vibrant place with better infrastructure and to keep taxes lower. Mr. Neil stated that it was very clear that the City's infrastructure was in need because the tax rate was kept so low during the recession and continued to be low for a long period of time, and any time there is an emergency repair required, it costs more. He explained that he did not think that the lodging tax would hurt the hotels, particularly if they are charging the maximum amount that they can because there are not enough rooms in the area for the people. Mr. Neil noted that the customers would be paying the tax, not the hotel, and they expect to pay it, like they do elsewhere. He stated that, at least they get a break in Delaware because there is no sales tax.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 14 Mr. Contant stated that he is always cautious about raising taxes or creating new taxes, because he questions what will stop the government from doing it in the future to the detriment of the economy. He noted that while he disagreed with the way the General Assembly passed the legislation at the end of their session with the traditional committee process, he could see that some people are worried about it being a race to 3%. Mr. Contant indicated that he thought that if the City sets the precedent, it might make the County back off a little bit. He stated that he likes the idea of step increases, so that the City can see the impact over time, and that he would like to see that implemented as an amendment to the proposed ordinance. Mr. Hare noted that he had heard from some hoteliers that DE Turf often cancels events a few weeks out and hotels have to deal with large blocks of room reservations being cancelled. He suggested that DE Turf take some responsibility for the compensation of hotels when they cancel events. Mr. Hare also encouraged those who participated in the public hearing to also express their concerns to Kent County Levy Court. Mr. Cole indicated that he agreed with using the lodging tax revenue for infrastructure and that he also liked the idea of .5% step increases. Mr. Slavin stated that members could amend the motion on the floor or they could ask that the motion be withdrawn and a new motion be put on the floor. Mr. Anderson stated that he did not want to withdraw his motion because they need the certainty. He explained that he thought that the rate was fair and that it would be a huge mistake to do it otherwise because the City would not necessarily get enough revenue to accomplish its goals with a .5% tax. Mr. Anderson stated that he thought they would just be delaying the inevitable. Mr. Taylor stated that he did not think the .5% increments seemed to be enough at a time and Mr. Anderson's motion seemed to be fair; however, he was concerned for the local businesses because of the recent increases in school and property taxes. He stated that he could not support it as is. Mr. Polce referred to information he reviewed during the Committee meeting of July 9, 2019. He stated that the article titled "The Impact of the Hotel Room Tax: An Interrupted Time Series Approach," published in the National Tax Journal in December 1992, demonstrates the debate on the hotel or lodging tax in the early '90s and the propensity to sway a consumer's habit on a lodging tax. He also reviewed an article published in January 28, 2019 by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), noting that it demonstrates that no data can be borne out that a marginal increase could sway a consumer's behavior. Mr. Polce noted that the term "marginal" is really critical in this debate, in the fact that members have to decide what marginal is. He explained that the discussion throughout this process had led to a deliberate decision and members were now talking about a 1.5% rate which is $1.50 on $100, regardless of whether it is done as a step increase or implemented at

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 15 the time the ordinance is enacted. Referring to local hotel data from Travelocity on July 26, 2019, Mr. Polce stated that the cost of a room at Dover Downs was $198, and asked if members thought $1.98 would impact the consumer's decision whether or not to come to Dover. He noted that he had recently traveled to Dublin, Ireland where his lodging tax rate was 23% and he never considered spending time outside of Dublin as a result. Mr. Polce stated that individuals are drawn to Dover for DE Turf, NASCAR, Firefly, First Fridays, etc. and consumers determine what they are willing to pay, not the industry. Responding to Mr. Taylor's concerns regarding the recent tax increases, Mr. Polce stated that the citizens of Dover are bearing the City's decision regarding the property tax increase, and those living within the Capital School District are paying as a result of the referendum. He advised that members have to be mindful that each tax has implications and are coming from different funding sources and potential funding sources. Mr. Polce stated that he thought it was also important to keep in mind that research showed that the vast majority of hotel taxes are not coming from those who live within their same geographical hub. He expressed his opinion that the proposal was a very reasonable compromise. Mr. Lindell stated that he did not support a 3% lodging tax; however, the state legislature provided the City with enabling legislation allowing "up to 3%" and he indicated that he thought the City's legislation should remain consistent. He stated that he agreed with the suggestion that the tax should be implemented in increments and that he thought any revenue that comes of this definitely needs to go to infrastructure. Mr. Slavin reminded everyone that the Committee would send a recommendation to Council regarding the proposed ordinance and then Council would hold two readings, one in two weeks and one in four weeks, and at each of those occasions, there would be an opportunity for public input. He stated that they do business like that because they do not like to fight on the floor, explaining that they like to hear what the concerns are and then bring things to the floor once they have worked them out and hopefully they can achieve that compromise. Mr. Slavin expressed his opinion that members had carried this matter as far as they could, explaining that the Committee has the option to take the spirit of the dialogue and pass the matter onto Council without a recommendation and Council could then continue the dialogue in two weeks. He stated that hopefully in the two intervening weeks members would have time to sit down and work out a compromise, noting that he thought they had certainly exhibited an ability to move on this issue. Mr. Hare noted that no public hearings would be held regarding this matter during the Council meetings in two and four weeks. Responding, Mr. Slavin stated that Council can always vote to suspend the rules and have a public hearing. Mr. Hare indicated that the Committee could recommend that Council set a public hearing, however, he stated that he thought that they would hear a lot of the same comments.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 16 Mr. Neil stated that after the vote was completed on the current motion, he would have a motion to designate the funds generated from this tax to go to the infrastructure. Mr. Hare advised members that the First Reading was already accomplished, so the Final Reading would be held during the meeting on September 23, 2019. The motion to amend line 8 of Proposed Ordinance #2019-16 by inserting after rent, "starting with an initial rate of 1.5%," failed by a roll call vote of seven no (Sudler, Slavin, Cole, Taylor, Lindell, Hare, and Contant) and four yes (Anderson, Neil, Polce, and Shevock). Mr. Slavin moved to advance Proposed Ordinance #2019-16 without any recommendation from the Committee and for a public hearing to be scheduled for the next Council meeting on September 23, 2019. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cole. Mr. Anderson reminded everyone that if no public hearing is scheduled for this particular matter, anyone wishing to speak about it can do so during the open forum segment of the Council meeting. The motion to advance Proposed Ordinance #2019-16 without any recommendation from the Committee and for a public hearing to be scheduled for the next Council meeting on September 23, 2019 was carried by a roll call vote of eight yes (Neil, Slavin, Cole, Polce, Taylor, Lindell, Shevock, and Contant) and three no (Anderson, Sudler, and Hare). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. (A Public Hearing and Final Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Proposed Ordinance #2019-17 - Amending Appendix C - Downtown Redevelopment and Appendix D - Downtown Dover Business Improvement District (Sponsor: CCW/LF&A Committee) This matter was deferred during the Council Committee of the Whole/Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting of July 23, 2018. Mr. Slavin advised that credit for the introduction of this proposed ordinance was owed to Mr. Taylor, who, like many members of Council, expressed an interest in the status of the City's downtown. Mr. Slavin stated that this is a taxation issue, explaining that the Business Improvement District (BID) tax is levied against property owners within the very area the City is trying to revitalize, and it is levied in addition to property taxes. He reminded members that, two or three years ago, Council was successful in rolling the rate back to zero and had left it at zero. Mr. Slavin stated that he thought that the City should just eliminate this provision from the tax rules entirely, because it is not necessary at this point. He informed

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 17 members that he had repeatedly heard from downtown property and business owners that they felt that this tax was unfair to them because it was an additional property tax. Mr. Todd Stonesifer, 115 North State Street, advised members that he wants to see the downtown area revitalized and thrive, explaining that he has lots at stake as a property owner in the BID and President of Destination Downtown Dover, which is a nonprofit whose mission is to energize the heart of Delaware, which is Dover's downtown area. He stated that Destination Downtown Dover is responsible for a portion of First Fridays, as well as History, Heritage and Hops, and Oktoberfest, from which the funding all goes back into improvement of the downtown area. Mr. Stonesifer informed members that the biggest complaint he hears is in regard to building stock. He explained that economic development 101 says that if an individual who wants to open a business in downtown Dover has to bring a very outdated building up to current Code, pay property tax, and then pay a secondary BID tax, and will probably take their idea outside the BID. Mr. Stonesifer indicated that eliminating the BID tax would support the effort of trying to improve downtown Dover. He also suggested the possibility of implementing more incentives and educating people who have an interest in those incentives. Mr. Anderson stated that the City had implemented a number of incentives for downtown Dover, so it makes sense to also eliminate disincentives. He reminded members that Council had set the BID tax rate at zero the past couple of years, and he thought that the proposed ordinance would formalize that decision. Mr. Anderson noted that his only concern was in regard to any possible legal implications and, since he had yet to see any indication that there would be any unforeseen legal issues, he was in support of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Neil moved to recommend adoption of Proposed Ordinance #2019-17, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting.) Evaluation of Requests for Proposals - Collection Agency Services Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of requests for proposals (RFPs) for Collection Agency Services. Staff recommended approval of IC System of St. Paul, MN for Collection Services and authorization for the City Manager to negotiate and sign a final agreement with IC System of St. Paul, MN for Collection Services. Fees are based on a percentage of revenue collected. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the collection agency adds an 18% fee to the amount of the collection; however, she suggested having Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 18 Manager, determine whether the City would get a better collection rate if they take the 18% out of the City's collection instead. She explained that the City would only get 82% on the dollar, instead of 100%; however, the City was not getting anything with the 18% add-on fee arrangement with the last collection agency. Mrs. Mitchell stated that she wanted Council's authorization to negotiate less than 100% in order to get a great collection, noting that she would not go below the 18% reduction. Responding to Mr. Polce, Mrs. Mitchell explained that the agency would still be collecting 100% of the debt; however, they would take their fee from the City instead of adding it onto what the customer already owes. She stated that she wanted to look at the analysis to determine if they would be able to collect more by doing it this way because they did not have much success with the previous agency which was adding on the customer fee. Mr. Contant stated that, based on his experience trying to collect money on behalf of his homeowners' association (HOA), the HOA found they were more successful in getting money from people when the HOA paid the collection agency fee out of the money collected instead of adding it onto the overall price. He explained, for example, that if someone owed $100, the collection agency fee would be paid from the $100 collected, instead of collecting $118. Mr. Contant stated that he thought that some people were just not willing to pay the additional amount, so they would not pay at all. Mr. Contant asked what the collection success rate is for ICS. Responding, Mrs. Patricia Marney, Customer Service Director, advised that they collected $11M in 2017 and $13M in 2018, noting that they have 700,000 accounts. She stated that she was not sure that answered Mr. Contant's question and that she would be happy to get that information. Mr. Contant stated that he would be interested in knowing that information; although, he noted that, according to the Staff Evaluation Matrix, he thought that it appeared that ICS met the rest of the City's criteria better than the other companies. Mr. Anderson expressed his support for Mrs. Mitchell having the authority to run an analysis. He stated that he thought that if they were dealing with people who were not paying, and then the amount changes once they agree to pay, it might psychologically take them back to not want to pay. Mr. Anderson noted that he could understand Mrs. Mitchell's interest in wanting to try another way, since the City tried it by adding on the fee and only got a 2% success rate, while the national average tends to be approximately 30% for collections. Mr. Sudler stated that Mrs. Mitchell had gained his trust in her insight because she has been accurate and precise when it comes to numbers and analogy in the past. He expressed his support and faith in Mrs. Mitchell's assessment. Mr. Taylor stated that Mrs. Mitchell also has his support. He noted that, as a business owner with approximately 4,000 customers, if he hired a collection agency and they got 50% of what was owed, that would be better than 100% of nothing.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 19 Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of staff's recommendation of IC System of St. Paul, MN for Collection Services, and authorization for the City Manager to negotiate and sign a final agreement with IC System of St. Paul, MN for Collection Services. Fees are based on a percentage of revenue collected. 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 Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Evaluation of Bids - FY 19 Street and Alley Program Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the evaluation of bids for the FY 19 Street and Alley Program, noting that the program is based on Community Transportation Fund (CTF) funding, and is prevailing wage projects. She stated that Grassbusters Landscaping, Inc. was currently doing most of the work for the City, they had been doing a good job, and there had not been any problems. Mrs. Mitchell advised that these CTF funds would basically complete the remainder of the streets in the Lincoln Park development. Staff recommended awarding a unit price contract, based upon Bid #19-0024PW for the FY 19 Street & Alley Program to Grassbusters Landscaping, Inc. based on the Prevailing Wage unit prices for each work item submitted. The estimated value of the contract is $483,294. Work will be performed in strict accordance to the Bid Specifications. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend awarding a unit price contract, based upon Bid #19-0024PW for the FY 19 Street & Alley Program to Grassbusters Landscaping, Inc. based on the Prevailing Wage unit prices for each work item submitted. The estimated value of the contract is $483,294. Work will be performed in strict accordance to the Bid Specifications, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Fiscal Year 2019/20 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program - In-car Camera/Computer Systems and Interview Room System Upgrade Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the background information regarding the Fiscal Year 2019/20 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program. Staff recommended approval of the grant project, as requested. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Mitchell explained her understanding that the Smyrna Police Department Mental Health Partnership Program was where a counselor rides along with the police officers for people with opioid issues. Mr. Polce advised that the Mental Health Partnership Program is a nationally recognized model where they embed a practitioner with a clinical background in

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 20 with the police to respond for intervention for individuals with either chronic persistent mental illness or substance use disorder. He stated that when the idea was originally pitched to the Dover Police Department, they decided to abstain and the monies were reappropriated to Smyrna. Mr. Polce noted that the initial concern was that the Dover Police Department did not have enough officers in the community policing division, which is where the embedded practitioner would best fit. He explained that the program is very successful in Smyrna and there are also programs in Oceanview, and Georgetown, and it was his understanding that Milford was also attempting to start a pilot program. In response to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Anderson stated that this is a joint grant application for Dover and Smyrna and each agency decides what to do with their funding. He explained that this partnership had been ongoing for many years and because Dover is the larger entity, it has the capacity to act as the administrative agent. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of the grant project, as requested. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:49 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CHRISTIANSEN - ETHICS COMMISSION - FIVE-YEAR TERM - NANCY H. WAGNER (TO FILL THE EXPIRED TERM OF NANCY J. SHEVOCK - TERM TO EXPIRE JULY 31, 2024) Mayor Christiansen recommended the appointment of Nancy H. Wagner to the Ethics Commission for a five-year term to expire July 31, 2024 (to fill the expired term of Nancy J. Shevock). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the appointment, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 21 PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL READING - ORDINANCE #2019-16 A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider approval of proposed amendments to Chapter 102 - Taxation of the Dover Code by inserting a new Article VII - Lodging Tax. Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of proposed Ordinance #2019-16 be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of July 22, 2019.) Council President Hare advised that the amendment imposes a local lodging tax of up to 3% of the cost of the rent, in addition to the amount imposed by the State and the County, for any room or rooms in a hotel, motel or tourist home, as defined in 30 Delaware Code section 6101, within the boundaries of the City of Dover. Council President Hare declared the hearing open. There being no one present wishing to speak during the public hearing, Council President Hare declared the hearing closed. Mr. Slavin advised that amendment language had been prepared which would establish the tax beginning, as recommended by Councilman Anderson, on July 1, 2020, at the rate of one-half of 1% for the balance of the calendar year 2020, and then the rate itself would be 1% for 2021 and 1 ½ % for subsequent years. The language also specifies that all of the lodging tax revenue that the City receives would be accounted for in a committed fund balance account to be used only for infrastructure. Mr. Slavin moved for adoption of the amendment, as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Mr. Anderson expressed concern that the amendment did not include an exclusion for displaced individuals who are using the lodging as their permanent home. Mr. Sudler advised that he would not be supporting any taxation or lodging tax initiative, believing that, based on his discussions with his constituents, it was not the right time. The motion for adoption of the amendment, as presented, was carried by a roll call vote of eight yes (Anderson, Neil, Slavin, Cole, Polce, Taylor, Lindell, and Hare) and one (1) no (Sudler). Mr. Polce moved for adoption of Ordinance #2019-16, as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and, by a roll call vote of seven yes (Neil, Slavin, Cole, Polce, Taylor, Lindell, and Hare) and two (2) no (Anderson and Sudler), Council adopted Ordinance #2019-16, as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 PAGE 22 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET: That Chapter 102 - Taxation of the Dover Code be amended by inserting a new Article VII - Lodging Tax, as follows: ARTICLE VII - Lodging Tax Sec. 102-190. - Local lodging tax. (a) A local lodging tax is hereby levied of up to 3% of the cost of the rent, in addition to the amount imposed by the State and the County, for any room or rooms in a hotel, motel or tourist home, as defined in 30 Del. C. §6101, within the boundaries of the City of Dover. The tax will be implemented beginning July 1, 2020 at the rate of one half of 1% for 2020; 1% for 2021; and 1 ½% for subsequent years. (b) The local lodging tax, pursuant to this ordinance, is the responsibility of the occupant of the room and shall be collected at the time the rental is paid. Operators of the hotel, motel or tourist home are responsible for the collection of the local lodging tax and the remittance of the taxes to the City of Dover within 20 days after the end of each calendar month, in accordance with procedures established by the City Manager and using forms designated by the City Finance Department. The tax imposed shall be shown on the billing to the occupant as a separate and distinct item. (c) Lodging tax receipts will be accounted for in a Committed Fund Balance account to be used only for infrastructure. (d) No local lodging tax pursuant to this ordinance shall be collected for reservations or contracts for lodging executed or completed before July 1, 2020.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole met on September 24, 2019 at 6:00 p.m., with Mr. Slavin (departed at 7:33 p.m.) presiding in the absence of Council President Hare (arrived at 6:06 p.m., departed at 7:23 p.m. and returned at 7:25 p.m.). Members of Council present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sudler (arrived at 6:06 p.m.), Mr. Neil, Mr. Cole (arrived at 6:07 p.m.), Mr. Polce, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lindell. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for the Committee of the Whole meeting and their Committee meetings were Mr. Caldwell (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement), Mr. Garfinkel and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation), Mrs. Doyle (Utility), and Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). Col. Dix (Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement) and Mrs. Haass (Utility) were absent. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Update on the 2019 Comprehensive Plan Project Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, and Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a presentation entitled "City of Dover, Delaware, 2019 Comprehensive Plan, Project Update September 2019" (Attachment #1). Mr. Neil asked how the Kent County Economic Development Plan’s proposal for the entire county has impacted what the City is considering for economic development. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that one of the Plan components is required intergovernmental coordination to review the plans of adjacent neighbors and one of the provisions in the economic development component of the City’s Comprehensive Plan is the recognition of and eventual annexation of the properties located in the County’s future Employment Zone, extending to Dover Air Force Base. Mr. Anderson asked if anything had been developed regarding rail freight and economic development. Responding, Mr. Hugg advised that the transportation section of the Comprehensive Plan clearly identifies rail freight, the possibility for air freight, and truck access to the general area as key elements. He noted that there had been discussions with the owner of the short line railroad about rail-accessible sites in the City of Dover. Mr. Hugg stated that one of the recommendations included in the Plan deals with ensuring that they do not arbitrarily give up sites that have or have had rail service for some other use, such as the core of rail-accessible older industrial sites on Ridgely Street, Railroad Avenue, and along the river further north. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding a river walk around the St. Jones River, Mrs. Dawn Melson- Williams, Principal Planner, advised that the Dover Transit Neighborhood Plan includes a focus on opportunities in the greater downtown area and the plan identified waterfront property as an opportunity. She noted that, although improvements such as the Capital Trails System have been implemented, the opportunity has not been developed to its full potential. Mr. Hugg stated that one of the recommendations included in the parks and recreation component, open-space natural resources, is the completion of a master plan for the Silver Lake Park. Mr. Taylor, noting the major events that are held in Dover, stated that he was interested in a passenger rail system that would allow the City to reduce its carbon footprint and to get people in and out of Dover at a

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 2 much quicker rate. Responding, Mrs. Melson-Williams advised that the transportation chapter of the Comprehensive plan mentions passenger rail; however, one of the difficulties is having the infrastructure in place to do passenger rail. She noted that the existing rail line is freight-driven, and freight and passenger rail do not always mix well. Mrs. Melson-Williams stated that she thought passenger rail was a project that was bigger than the City of Dover to address. Mr. Taylor stated that he did not think it was too big and that it needed to be reviewed in collaboration with the cities to the north and south and should be added to the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Christiansen, speaking as the chairman of the Dover/Kent County MPO, advised that passenger rail service is under consideration by not only the Dover/Kent County MPO, but also WILMAPCO, which is the regional transportation council in Newcastle County and in the City of Wilmington. He also noted that the Dover/Kent County MPO was considering a direct route from Dover, or central Kent County, to Route 301 and Route 50. Mayor Christiansen advised that when Route 13 was designed by Coleman du Pont, it featured a rail line down the center from Wilmington to Seaford for passenger transportation and bike trails; however, he ran out of money. 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 Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Request for Waiver - Appendix B - Zoning, Article 5 - Supplementary Regulations, Section 17 - Emergency Access Requirements - Waiver of Emergency Rear Access Requirement for Townhouses at White Oak Road Property: Apartments and Townhouses (Application S-19-15) Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed the Petition to Waive Zoning Ordinance Provision: Elimination of Emergency access Requirements for White Oak Road Property: Apartments and Townhouses on 3 parcels of land on White Oak Road, as requested by Harman Brothers LLC. Mrs. Melson-Williams advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the elimination of the rear emergency access requirement, subject to the implementation of the fire protection measures, including the firewalls, the exterior materials on the units, and the sprinkler system. She also noted that the Fire Marshal's office supports the waiver request with the proposed 13R sprinkler system. Responding to Mayor Christiansen, Mr. Ring W. Lardner, PE, of Davis, Bowen, & Friedel, Inc., representing the developer, stated that they would be using a 13R sprinkler system and that there was sufficient water pressure for the height of the townhouses, which is proposed to be three stories. Mayor Christiansen asked if the system would deliver 55 pounds of water pressure at the top of the buildings. Mr. Lardner advised that they want to install an individual boost pump to ensure that it would, but they believe there is sufficient pressure. He noted that the system would be evaluated by the building code official as a part of the plan review process. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Lardner stated that the apartment units, which are automatically required to be sprinklered and will have fire access around all four sides of the buildings, were not a part of waiver request.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 3 Responding to Mr. Polce, Mayor Christiansen estimated the cost for the sprinklers to be between $7,500 and $10,000. He noted that insurance companies offer discounted homeowner’s insurance if sprinklers are installed, as well as for smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Melson-Williams advised that a waiver had been granted in the past for the Senators Lake townhouse community. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of the request for a waiver for the elimination of the emergency rear access for the townhouse units subject to conditions. The motion was seconded by Mr. Garfinkel and unanimously carried. Hiring of a Security Firm for the Dover Public Library Using State Contract GSS19363 Mr. Matt Harline, Assistant City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the hiring of a security firm for the Dover Public Library using State contract GSS 19363. Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager and her designees to interview Security Guard, Inc. T/A Gettier Security and Sunstates Security, LLC and to enter into a contract for security guards for the Library in an amount not to exceed $56,000. Mr. Sudler asked if smoking at the library had decreased with the new signage and if homeless individuals were still utilizing the library like a lounge. Responding, Mr. Harline advised that he would check on the smoking and that one of the purposes of hiring the security firm was to have someone circulating throughout the library to ensure that people were using the library appropriately. Mr. Sudler asked if there had been incidents of removing people from the library due to foul odor, which could be difficult to measure. Mr. Harline advised that staff had spoken with the attorney during this process and odor is a legitimate reason to ask somebody to leave if it is either noticeable from a distance or complaint-driven. He also noted that they need to address the use of the library by certain social services agencies as a pick up and drop off point, noting that it was a problem last fall. Mr. Slavin echoed previous comments about the cadet program which, in his opinion, is an excellent program and it serves an excellent purpose. Noting that many of the cadets are frequently hired away, leaving gaps in staffing, Mr. Slavin applauded the effort to provide a more consistent security presence at the library, which is the issue he hears the most about from his constituents. He also suggested that there be good policies and procedures in place, along with a good solid understanding internally from the staff that this is what their expectations are. Mr. Christiansen expressed concern about the previous private security guards and recommended following through with assessment. Mr. Polce, noting that the recommendation is to authorize the City Manager or her designee to interview both companies, asked for clarification on the number of companies being hired. Responding, Mr. Harline advised that they would interview both of the companies, hire just one of those firms, and negotiate the rate.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 4 Responding to Mr. Polce, Mr. Harline confirmed that the company that is retained assumes all liability for the armed guards so that the City is not exposed to additional liability in the event of any incident with an individual. Mr. Neil stated that he was a big fan of the library and that he wanted to make sure that it is thought of as a safe place so that people will go there with confidence that the City is providing protection for them. Mr. Sudler asked if the prospective security companies had been made aware of City’s concerns regarding the library. He also asked if they looked at companies’ performance rate, appraisals from other municipalities that are hiring them to do the same thing in the same capacity and had done an extensive review of their performance, strengths and weaknesses. Responding, Mr. Harline stated that they had gone through a bid process with the State and they had four bids. The State chose these two companies out of the four. He noted that they spoke with the County about their experience with one of these firms, and will talk to cities and state organizations that have used both firms. Mr. Lindell stated that he wanted the accountability aspect emphasized to the guards. Mr. Taylor expressed concern with both companies hiring quality guards and asked if Staff had considered hiring retired Dover police officers, noting several advantages to doing so. Responding, Mr. Harline stated that there would be one guard on staff at all times to cover the 66 hours per week, and each firm would have to have at least two individuals who were assigned to the City to become familiar with the library operations and protocol. Mr. Harline reminded members that one of the advantages of hiring a company that is already under contract with the State is that they come with insurance and if they hired an individual, all the insurance would be the City’s responsibility. Mrs. Mitchell advised that Staff decided against starting with an armed security guard because they wanted to see how the unarmed security guards work out. She also noted that she had spoken with Acting Police Chief Stump and he has agreed to provide radios so that the security guards will have a direct contact to dispatch. Mrs. Mitchell also advised that the State reviews their training program and it is all laid out in their contract. Additionally, if they have any problems with the security company, the State will come in and handle them for the City. Mayor Christiansen stated that if they decide to use armed security guards, he would like for them to have some type of Council of Police Training (COPT) certification. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager and her designees to interview Security Guard, Inc. T/A Gettier Security and Sunstates Security, LLC and to enter into a contract for security guards for the Library in an amount not to exceed $56,000. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised members that each year City Council develops priorities for road improvements to be forwarded to the Secretary of Transportation and the Dover/Kent Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for consideration in the department’s Capital Transportation Plan (CTP). He noted that sometimes the projects that the City believes are a high priority appear in the list and sometimes they do not, but each year the City is offered an opportunity to suggest projects. Mr. Hugg informed members that the way that the process works is that the planning office

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 5 prepares this list based on a review of development activity, the status of the projects themselves and discussions with the Public Works Department and the Police Department. Mr. Hugg reviewed the 2019 Transportation Project Prioritization, noting that, in most cases, the list was the same as the previous year. He advised that the sidewalk work had already begun on priority #8 - US 13 Service Roads/Scarborough Road and DelDOT has agreed to further consider priority #4 - Loockerman Street/Forest Street. Mr. Hugg also advised that DelDOT has indicated that they do not believe the original design for priority #6 - Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension is financially or practically feasible and they desire to reconsider it. He noted that the roadway was originally intended to run behind Lowe's and the PetSmart shopping center and then cut across and connect to a realignment of the North entrance to Dover Mall with a new traffic signal. Mr. Anderson requested that priority #11- Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements be moved up on the list, noting that he had never seen Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension as a great priority while Kings Highway is a free flow of traffic and may even be a safety issue. Referring to the Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension, Mr. Hugg noted that it had been a longstanding desire to create a parallel road system to get local traffic off of Route 13 so that if you wanted to go from Lowe's to Produce Junction you would not have to go back out onto the highway. Similarly, proceeding from Dover Downs to Dover Mall and Wilmington University. He stated that from a conceptual standpoint, both of those are important as ways to preserve the primary mission of Route 13, which is as an arterial road. Mr. Hugg stated that he thought the Kings Highway project would have been addressed with the development of Capitol Station and Lidl. He advised that the intersection has turning issues and longer than average wait times; however, he did not know if there had been a lot of accidents there. Mr. Anderson stated that he was concerned that the intersection impinges on the free flow of traffic and that is a real concern. Mayor Christiansen advised that the list of projects had also been weighted by the State, as well as their priority of funding and implementation. He stated that several factors were exacerbating the Kings Highway intersection and if Council wanted to re-prioritize the Kings Highway intersection over the Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension, the MPO could encourage DelDOT to re-evaluate it. Staff recommended approval of the recommended priority ranking for the coming year. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of the Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects for the coming year, as recommended by staff, with the provision that priority #11- Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements be raised to #6 in priority and then renumbered thereafter (Attachment #2) . The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:21 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 6 UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Cole presiding. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Amendment to Contract User Agreement with Kent County Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the Background and Analysis for the Amendment to Contract User Agreement with Kent County. She advised that the amendment incorporates changes that have been made in the recent past, as well as changing the agreement for the future, to accurately portray how the City’s sewer flow is being transmitted to Kent County, which will provide for accurate billings to the City. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the Agreement for Services a 10 year contract. Staff recommended authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment to the Contract User Agreement with Kent County. Mr. Slavin moved to recommend authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment to the contract user agreement with Kent County, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Columbia Avenue Water Main Replacement Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the Background and Analysis for the Evaluation of Bids for the Columbia Avenue Water Main Replacement. Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Mitchell advised that there would have been a pre-bid meeting in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy. Mr. Slavin asked if the project would include the repaving of Columbia Avenue. Mrs. Mitchell advised that the water main replacements were being coordinated with the street program so that repaving occurs soon after the water main replacement work is completed. Responding to Mr. Slavin, Mrs. Mitchell stated that Bradford Street was scheduled in the current paving program and would be brought forward in the near future for approval. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Teal Construction, Inc., for the City of Dover, Columbia Avenue Water Main Replacement Project, Bid #20-0001PW, for the amount of $521,201. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Clearview Meadow Subdivision Phase II Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, reviewed the Background and Analysis for the Dedication of Rights-of-Way and Public Infrastructure - Clearview Meadow Subdivision Phase II. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. John Knight of Knollwood Development Corporation advised that all of the infrastructure met City standards.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 7 Staff recommended acceptance of the dedication of rights-of-way and public infrastructure in Phase II of the Clearview Meadow Subdivision. Dedication is to include all of the referenced public improvements. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Request to Lower Speed Limit on State Route 8 Between Dover High Drive and Artis Drive Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the request of Calvary Baptist Church that consideration be given to reducing the speed limit on Route 8 between Dover High Drive and Artis Drive to a consistent 35 mph from the limits of the City of Dover (near Artis Drive) eastbound to the point where that limit is already in place along Route 8 and Forrest Avenue. He noted that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) advised that the City of Dover would need to initiate a request for them to consider the speed reduction. Mr. Anderson expressed concern that the lower speed limit would cause increased speeding and ignoring the law because people are not going to slow down. He also asked how the speed reduction would affect the building standards, such as the left turn lanes. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that as the road speed increases, the number of travel lanes also has to increase. He noted that at 50 m.p.h. there would be a certain number of lanes, turn lanes, acceleration/deceleration lanes, and passing lanes to allow for traffic stacking. Mr. Hugg stated that as the speed limit is reduced, the length of the acceleration/deceleration lane is decreased and the length in the center stacking lane is decreased. He noted that the reductions would also reduce the cost of the road improvements that have to be made in that area. Mr. Lindell asked if lowering the speed limit was giving Calvary Baptist church and Destiny Church the chance to avoid what needs to be done to the road as part of their development. Responding, Mr. Hugg stated that the speed limit sets the character of the roadway. If they want it to continue to be a major arterial road then leaving the speed limit alone creates a road situation that has all the aspects of a major arterial road. Mr. Hugg advised that if the City agrees to the reduction in the speed limit, as requested by the church, then they were making a decision that the road should be a less intense highway and that it should be more like a local street with the appropriate roadway standards that are required. Mr. Taylor asked if Staff had considered the effects on the residents trying to exit Heather Field and the Stoney Drive area. Responding, Mr. Hugg advised that the lower speed limit would help in that regard because they would be exiting onto a lower speed highway and there would be limitations based on the higher road standards. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that, according to the letter from Calvary Baptist church, the distance from the City limits to the Destiny Christian church entrance is approximately 1,000 feet and another 830 feet to the signalized entrance at Forrest Avenue and Dover High Drive for a total of 1,830 feet. Mr. Neil stated that he did not think the lower speed limit would change the character of that road all that much. Mayor Christiansen advised that he observed the traffic for approximately an hour and he noted that traffic naturally begins to reduce their speed coming around the bend. He suggested that most people who travel that road on a regular basis anticipate the traffic signal at Leander Lakes and Dover High School, as well as private driveways.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 8 Mr. Neil moved to recommend requesting the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to reduce the speed limit on Route 8 between Dover High Drive and Artis Drive to a consistent 35 m.p.h. from the limits of the City of Dover (near Artis Drive) eastbound to the point where that limit is already in place along Route 8 and Forrest Avenue. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Doyle and unanimously carried. Mr. Taylor moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:38 p.m. LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE The Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee met with Chairman Lindell presiding. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Mr. Hare moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Station 2 Roof Replacement Mr. Tim Mullaney, President of the Dover Fire Department, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for the Station 2 Roof Replacement. Fire Chief Rhodes’ recommendation is to award the work to Bayside Roofing, Inc. Mr. Mullaney advised that although the bid was not the lowest, Chief Rhodes is recommending Bayside Roofing, Inc. due to the rapport that the Fire Department has with that company and because they were very receptive to what was needed and they explained in great detail what they could and could not do. He noted that Bayside was very thorough throughout the bidding process, they are a local company that has been in business for approximately 35 years, and they offer a lifetime warranty on labor. Mr. Hare moved to recommend awarding the work to Bayside Roofing, Inc., as recommended by Fire Chief Rhodes. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Mullaney stated that when working with contractors you get a sense of what companies are knowledgeable in reference to the bids and Bayside seemed the most thorough, they have a good reputation in the community, and they presented a good overall package. He advised that, to his knowledge, there was no aspect of the project that Bayside could not perform. Mr. Taylor asked if there was a pre-bid meeting. Mrs. Donna Mitchell, City Manager, advised that there was not a pre-bid meeting because, according to the purchasing policy, public works projects under $50,000 do not require a formal RFP process, only obtaining quotes from vendors. She advised that this item was brought forward because the lowest bidder was not being recommended. Mr. Taylor stated that he asked the question because, in the past, they have heard complaints that the process was not fair, that it was very biased, and minority owned companies did not stand a chance so he wanted to make sure that there was an even playing field.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 PAGE 9 Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Mullaney stated that he did not know what warranty was offered by the low bidder. Mr. Anderson asked how much of this project would be paid from City tax payer money and if there were matching funds from the Fire Department. Mrs. Mitchell advised that $31,000 was budgeted for this project and, as part of a long-term agreement with the City resulting from higher insurance premiums for residents living on the west side of the railroad tracks, the City built Station 2 and is responsible for capital maintenance on the station. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mrs. Mitchell clarified that the purchasing policy gives the department the discretion to get quotes from three vendors for projects under $50,000; however, anything that is not the lowest bid requires an exception from Council. Mr. Sudler expressed concern regarding bias because if you already have an established relationship with a contractor and you particularly like that contractor based off of previous experience, which is not wrong; however it defeats the purpose of other individuals being able to compete for that job. He questioned how much the City had done in regard to federal rules and regulations for affirmative action for fair and equitable opportunity to provide service, noting that using vendors based on relationships could be viewed as biased and prejudiced by not allowing a fair and equitable process for individuals to compete. Mrs. Mitchell stated that those policies are included in the purchasing policy; however, public works contracts, which are infrastructure and buildings, have a higher threshold because every project required Council approval previously. Mr. Sudler stated that he would be interested in seeing some of the best practice or past practice for the City to make sure that they are in compliance with affirmative action and federal regulations. He advised that he and Councilmen Taylor and Anderson have experienced and encountered constituents saying they are not. Responding to Mr. Lindell, Mrs. Mitchell advised that if the project ran over budget, the Fire Department would cover the overage. Responding to Mr. Contant, Mr. Mitchell advised that repair to the damaged HVAC system was not included in this project. Mr. Hare moved to call the question, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. The motion to recommend awarding the work to Bayside Roofing, Inc., as recommended by Fire Chief Rhodes was carried with Mr. Taylor voting no. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:53 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried.

ATTACHMENT #2 Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of 09/24/2019 CITY OF DOVER 2019 TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PRIORITIZATION 1. Garrison Oak Connector Road Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) is a 385-acre tract zoned IPM-2 (Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone-Technology Center) and is the only site in the City to be zoned as such. It has been identified by the City as an ideal location for large technology/green industry firms. Dover City Council desires that DelDOT provide a direct access to State Route 1 via a connector road to White Oak Road. While the State discourages growth east of State Route 1, this tract is acknowledged by both the City of Dover and the State of Delaware as the only large-scale developable land east of State Route 1 in the City of Dover. A June 2017 study of the project (the Garrison Oak Traffic Study), determined that constructing a connector road was not justified as of 2018, based on the current uses and development in the park. However, an Alignment Study to determine the feasibility and location of a future road connection is justified given current and potential development interests. The Park is an important economic development asset for the City and the County. Utilization of GOBTC is restricted by the lack of good access to SR1. As additional development occurs in the business park its priority for construction will be revised as appropriate. 2. Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades/ Route 8 East/West Corridor Plan Improvements The Kenton Road Corridor project includes road improvements and sidewalks to improve traffic flow and bicycle/pedestrian safety. It is critical to improving the approach to the City from the northwest where new residential areas within and outside the City are being built. This segment also lacks sidewalks. The Route 8 Corridor Study identified several improvements along the Route 8 corridor that would improve safety, better manage access, reduce congestion and provide improved traffic flow. While improvements complementary to this corridor (POW-MIA Parkway and Senator Bikeway, for example) address north/south movements, continued development on the west side of the City impacts the capacity and operation of this roadway. 3. College Road Corridor Upgrades (Kenton Road to McKee Road) This project includes road improvements and sidewalks in the heavily traveled College Road corridor. It is a key east-west linkage from northwest residential areas to commercial corridors and Delaware State University. Recent development in this area includes apartments and a rehabilitation hospital near the College Road/McKee Road Intersection. Potential improvements in this project include new pavement sections, sidewalks, shoulders, a closed drainage system, bicycle lanes, lighting and other improvements.

4. Loockerman Street/Forest Street Intersection This project is prioritized by the City to help spur redevelopment activities in the Downtown Development District while also improving traffic circulation and safety. It was identified as a needed improvement through the Restoring Central Dover Study and the Westside Redevelopment Study conducted in 2001. It is also complementary to the recommendations of the Capital Gateway Study addressing the Forest Street/Route 8 corridor. It would result in improved traffic circulation, a more pedestrian-friendly zone at the railroad crossings and create a new “gateway” into the Downtown. 5. Sidewalks within the walk zone of the new Dover High School Critical gaps in the sidewalk system near Dover High School remain, including along Mifflin Road and along Route 8 on the south side from Mifflin Road west. This project also addresses the continuation of the Senator Bikeway and the recommendations from the Capital Gateway Study. The City is very concerned about public safety in this area and believes it deserves to be included in the CTP and funded at the earliest opportunity. 6. Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements The intersection of Kings Highway/White Oak Road and US Route 13 needs improvements to meet an acceptable level of service. Extensive new commercial development (Capital Station Shopping Center, Lidl grocery store, and other commercial facilities) are being constructed or are planned south of the intersection which will add traffic and access burdens on these roads. Because of the multi-use paths to be constructed along with this commercial development, pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements will be needed as part of the intersection upgrade as well. 2019 Roads 7. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension This project reflects the continuing growth of Delaware State University, commercial development in the area, and future development possibilities involving the Dover Mall and adjoining properties. The project was proposed to continue the improved right-of-way of Crawford Carroll Avenue from West Rustic Lane in a southerly direction to the site where HomeGoods and PetSmart are located and then connect to US Route 13 via a signalized intersection. It would provide access between the DSU Learning and Living Commons facility and the main campus as an alternate to using US 13. DelDOT has expressed concern about the feasibility of the original proposal, however, the City requests that service road connections on the west side of US 13 continue to be addressed even if the original design should not be achievable. 8. West Street Improvements from North Street to the Transit Center This project is along the western edge of the Downtown Development District and would improve traffic flow, safety and access to the transit system serving the Downtown and the City. It would also provide an opportunity for multi-modal linkages to be improved. West Street has become an important connection for the DART transit service in the City but has not been improved to reflect

the standards necessary to meet this use. Part of these improvements were achieved in 2018 with the completion of a multi-use path along the east side of West Street. 9. US 13 Service Roads/Scarborough Road This project would create a service road parallel to US 13 from Leipsic Road to Scarborough Road, and a set of local access roads providing economic benefits to the Dover Mall and a proposed adjacent commercial complexes. This project is part of the US Route 13 Circulation Study. In adherence to the State’s Corridor Capacity Preservation Program, the addition of service roads would decrease traffic on US 13/DuPont Highway by having more local traffic use the service roads instead. The project also reflects the corridor’s continued growing role as a destination for commerce, employment, and community activities, and its lessened importance as a high-speed through travel route compared to State Route 1. 10. US 13 Sidewalk Construction Construction of multi-use paths along US 13 continues to be a priority. Construction of sidewalks is required when properties are developed or redeveloped, but significant sections of the sidewalk system are either in deteriorated condition or missing. Examples include Public Safety Boulevard to the Puncheon Run Connector and White Oak Road to College Road. A 2019 sidewalk project being built by DelDOT will complete a sidewalk/path from Townsend Boulevard to Leipsic Road on the east side of US 13. 11. Route 8/Hazletteville Road Connector This is a north/south access road that was identified in the Route 8 Concept Plan and Operations Study. This connection will encourage economic development and provide transportation alternatives in this heavily traveled corridor. The connector road would incorporate the existing Dover High Drive and extend south on the west side of the Village of Cannon Mills.

ATTACHMENT #3 Council Committee of the Whole Meeting of 09/24/2019 October 15, 2019 Mr. Drew Boyce Director of Planning Department of Transportation P.O. Box 778 Dover, DE 19903 RE: Request to Review Speed Limit on Route 8 from the westerly City Limits of Dover to Dover High Drive Dear Mr. Boyce: Recently the Mayor and City Planning Director, representatives from Calvary Baptist Church, and their consultants from Mountain Consulting met with DelDOT staff to discuss improvements to Route 8 (Forrest Avenue) that would be required by potential new construction associated with Calvary Baptist Church and Destiny Church, both proposed for sites west of Dover High School. At issue are certain roadway improvements to accommodate both entrances, some requirements of which are a function of the designated speed limit along this segment of the roadway. After discussion, it was suggested that DelDOT would review the design requirements consistent with a lower speed limit if requested and supported by the City. This matter was brought to the City Council at their meeting on October 14, at which time a motion was approved to request that DelDOT consider reducing the speed limit to a consistent 35 mph from the limits of the City (near Artis Drive) eastbound to the point where that limit is already in place along Route 8/Forrest Drive. This letter is to formally submit that request and confirm the approval of the City of Dover to change the speed limit and reflect such in the roadway improvement requirements that pertain to projects along this portion of the corridor. Please advise us if anything more formal is required to allow this change to occur, and advise us of the subsequent change in the design parameters. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, William F. Hare Robin R. Christiansen Council President Mayor Attachments: copy of Council Committee motion of September 24 Request from Calvary Baptist Church dated September 15, 2019 CC: Mr. Peter Haag, Traffic Studies Manager, DelDOT
