Item #1. 2021 Annual Report The Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) board, committees and staff have consistently worked toward betterment of downtown in a variety of meaningful ways in 2021, amidst the ongoing world-wide COVID pandemic. Two significant catalyst projects reached fruition: Development of a comprehensive parking solution and selection of a vendor to lead grassroots development of a master plan for downtown Dover. Strong public outreach and engagement are integral to these and all activities of this grassroots-driven non-profit organization. Notably, our loyal volunteers invested over 1500 hours with the DDP, resulting in an unprecedented dollar value of $45,000! It would be disingenuous to suggest that downtown has not endured its share of challenges, and even loss, due to COVID-related issues. A net loss of two businesses occurred in 2021, and many of Dover’s small businesses continue to face significant sustainability issues. Through DDP’s and partnering small business entities’ support, many merchants have taken advantage of loans, grants, incentives, and other means of assistance to buoy them. The DDP will continue to act as a “one-stop-shop” small business resource partner in the coming year, even expanding its loan/grant offerings with two new programs: a small business revolving loan fund and a retention/expansion assistance program As we move into this new year, our progress of 2021 will result in exciting outcomes for 2022! The DDP has just launched the eight-month development of “The Dover 2030 Plan,” a strategic master plan that will be a catalyst to transform downtown Dover and the related “priority redevelopment area” over the next eight years. In its fourteen- year history, this may be the single most significant project that the DDP has taken the responsibility to lead. Not surprisingly, DDP will be expanding capacity to reach the audiences and garner the buy-in of those both within and beyond the Dover community, including public and private entities/agencies, non-profits, future residents, developers and investors that will aggressively and seamlessly help DDP move into actual implementation upon by late 2022. Diane Laird, Executive Director Shop Eat Explore and Repeat in Downtown Dover! Our vision for Downtown Dover… An increasingly vibrant and thriving downtown. A regional destination. People of all ages will fill downtown to visit museums and cultural attractions, have a nice meal, shop at unique retail stores, and enjoy numerous, varied and playful things to do, both inside and outdoors.

Standstill by Siobhan Duggan, Paint Dover! 2021 Our Mission The Downtown Dover Partnership is committed to driving an improved quality of life for the residents and visitors of Dover, Delaware, through collective collaboration, economic development and promotion of downtown Dover’s unique historic properties.

Additional firms specialized in market research, architecture/planning, transportation and community engagement round out the Mosaic Team, each carefully selected for the Dover project. The process to develop the Downtown Dover Strategic Master Plan will invite grassroots input by engaging the com- munity and will include implementation and investment strategies to guide redevelopment and reinvestment in down- town Dover, with the goal of bringing this vital core of commerce and housing to its highest and best potential by a Page 6 target date of the year 2030.

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 24, 2022 PAGE 2 in Western medicine throughout the African Movement with reflection to the activities, rituals and initiatives that Black communities have done so well; and WHEREAS, African Americans have embarked on self-determination, mutual aid, and social support initiatives to build hospitals, medical and nursing schools and community clinics to foster good health and wellness which not only includes one’s physical body, but also emotional and mental health. While trying to increase initiatives to help decrease inequalities including having more diverse practitioners and representation in all segments of the medical and health programs. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBIN R. CHRISTIANSEN, Mayor of the City of Dover, Delaware do hereby proclaim February 2022 as BLACK HISTORY MONTH in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to recognize the essential role of African Americans in shaping our nation’s history and focus on the importance of Black Health and Wellness through education, activism, and awareness. PRESENTATION - CITY OF DOVER CODE ENFORCEMENT-COMMON VIOLATIONS Mr. Eddie Kopp, Chief Code Enforcement Officer, presented a Power Point Presentation of the City of Dover Code Enforcement Common Violations. Mr. Kopp explained that the information covered in his presentation was from the year 2021 when the department was fully staffed. He stated that he did not use the year 2020 due to the numbers being skewed from COVID-19 and the department not being fully staffed. He further clarified that his presentation was broken into three parts: interior, exterior and vehicle violations. Mr. Neil spoke about dealing with mobile homes and that there really are two types. He explained that one has a permanent foundation that is assessed separately and that other mobile homes or manufactured homes have a license, can be moved, and they pay an annual fee. Mr. Neil asked if Wild Meadows was the only development that had permanent foundations that were assessed separately. Mr. Kopp responded that Wild Meadows and Persimmon Tree homes are both on permanent foundations and they do not require permits. Mr. Rocha asked if there were any loopholes when it comes to a storage trailer being parked if it is connected to a truck or other vehicle for work or if you own your own business. He asked if there was any ordinance violation to be considered. Mr. Kopp explained that there was no clarification. He then went on to explain that code enforcement attempts to make contact with the residents about the issue, but it is not allowed. He noted that they are trying to work with people. Mr. Kopp then gave an example that if it is a boat hooked up to a trailer or if it is a recreational vehicle (RV) that they are probably getting ready for a vacation and they make a note and try work with them. Mr. Taylor asked in reference to tall grass who was responsible, the renter or the owner of the property. He then asked about who was responsible for the grass around the POW/MIA highway. Mr. Kopp responded that the owner was responsible. He stated that everything done as a city code enforcement officer is against the owner and whether it is an unpaid fine or the grass is not cut, the lien is placed against the property. He then explained that it is ultimately the owner’s responsibility. Page 9

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 24, 2022 PAGE 3 He further explained that when the owner tells them it is covered in the tenant’s lease they then explain that they do not have the authority to enforce the landlord tenant code. They enforce the property maintenance code and the Dover code of ordinances. Mr. Kopp explained that there are portions of the POW/MIA highway that belong to DelDOT so they would be responsible. However, if it is private property off of POW/MIA then it is the responsibility of the property owner. Mrs. Arndt asked if there were any resources available for low income home owners that cannot afford to upgrade their properties to address the violations. Mr. Kopp responded that there are resources out there for homeowners with low income. He further explained that there are nonprofit organizations that they work with in the city, such as Habitat for Humanity who assists property owners with different grants, NCALL is another program, and Milford Housing is another program. Mr. Kopp stated that code enforcement cannot get directly involved with whatever the homeowner will ultimately decide but they tell people they have to fix it and give them the recommendations if a resident calls and expresses that they are in financial distress. He then stated that if somebody calls and they can justify their need by explaining they are on a fixed income and might need two months versus two weeks, code enforcement will work with them. Mr. Sudler asked about the amount or size of bulk trash items allowed and if it was still 8x8. Mr. Kopp responded that 8x8 was correct and it has to be neatly stacked and bundled in certain cases, like wood. He explained that all the information is located on the city website under public works. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 10, 2022 The Minutes of the Special Council Meeting of January 10, 2022 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mrs. Arndt and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 10, 2022 The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of January 10, 2022 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mrs. Arndt and bore the written approval of Mayor Christiansen. QUARTERLY REPORTS Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, presented the Quarterly Revenue Report as of December 31, 2021. Ms. Peddicord explained that Mr. Anderson asked about the transfer tax revenues amount and how that is at 0.6 million currently through December 31st. She stated the budget is 1.4 million and although that is revenue, it is based on the conveyance of property within the city of Dover, and Page 10

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 24, 2022 PAGE 4 being over what is projected as the budget is a good sign that the pandemic has not dampened too much of our revenue collections within the city of Dover. Ms. Peddicord shared some historical background on FY21 as of December 31st, noting that they were at $1.3 million and then in FY20, they were at $783,000 and in FY19 $831,000. The most recent year to two, revenues in this category have inflated. Ms. Peddicord explained that they are going to present a budget amendment to put this back in line within the next few months. Mr. Anderson asked about the impact fees that are presented on page two of the report under the Water and the Wastewater Fund and asked why those are not as robust as the tax revenue. Ms. Peddicord explained that one does not have a huge effect on the other. She further stated there could be some effect if it is a new development or new owners of newly constructed structures, or if they are enlarging a footprint from an existing structure. Ms. Peddicord stated that impact fees fluctuate quite drastically from year to year, depending on any new development within the city limits. Mr. Anderson asked about the Electronic Red Light Safety Program (ERLSP) and the traffic penalties' transfers. Ms. Peddicord, referencing line item #18 of the report, noted that they had not gotten any revenues in for that through December. She explained that she had contacted the agency that they receive the funds from and, due to staffing changes, updates have not yet been given on their revenue. Ms. Peddicord explained that they should expect those revenues within the next two weeks. She assured council that the agency is aware that they are looking for this information and indicated that they should be seeing that revenue very soon. Mr. Anderson then asked about the majority of the bank loans and bonds and what the prevailing interest rates were on them. Ms. Peddicord explained that she had not submitted this information but would send it via email to the rest of the council members. She went on to state that as of June 30, 2021, all of the city’s notes and bonds were relatively low interest - anywhere from two or less percent. The only one that is not fixed is the electric revenue bond that fluctuates between 3 and 5 percent. Mr. Anderson moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Revenue Report as of December 31, 2021. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. APPOINTMENTS Appointment Recommended by Mayor Christiansen - Planning Commission - Joan E. Denney - Third District Representative (to fill the unexpired term of Kelli L. Lord - term to expire June 2023) By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the appointment of Joan E. Denney to the Planning Commission, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Page 11

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 24, 2022 PAGE 5 EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS - UPDATE TO THE CITY OF DOVER WASTEWATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water and Wastewater, reviewed the Background and Analysis for the Evaluation of Proposals - Update to the City of Dover Wastewater System Master Plan. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Duffield Associates for the Update to the City of Dover Wastewater System Master Plan, RFP #22-0017WW, for the amount of $149,000. Mr. Rocha moved for approval of the staff recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. INTERIM CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Dave Hugg III, Interim City Manager, shared that he had been working very closely with the small and large employers in the city to help them be prosperous. He explained that the Edgewell Corporation is looking for manpower, so they are holding a job fair tomorrow at the Dover Elks Lodge from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Mr. Hugg also noted that the City of Dover HR Department will be working with the Delaware Department of Labor as early as March and again in the spring or summer for a city wide job fair. Mayor Christiansen added that the job fair for Edgewell is also part of an ongoing effort that began in late November. He explained that there were a number of other employers who are running into problems of not being able to find qualified employees. Mayor Christiansen further explained that in an ongoing effort, a task force was put together and the City of Dover is working in conjunction with the Kent Economic Partnership, the Greater Kent Committee, and the Delaware Division of Labor. He stated that he will continue to share information with members of council to help these businesses who are struggling to find employees. . COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilman Neil announced that Ms. Diane Laird, Downtown Dover Partnership, has noted that Mosaic, a black operated organization that was extremely impressive, has signed the agreement with the Downtown Dover Partnership. He also explained that it is very significant because it opens the road for a lot of different venues and they have done a marvelous job in bringing in people for housing and other aspects. Mr. Neil stated that this is going to be significant for the city and he would like to let everybody know that the agreement has been signed and we are on our way. Councilman Taylor announced the passing of one of Dover's favorite ambassadors, Mr. Doug Van Sant. He stated that Mr. Van Sant’s home going service is going to be on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Torbert Funeral Home, and his family can be greeted starting at 10:00 a.m. at the same location. Mr. Taylor sends his prayers to his wife Linda and his family. He also reminded everyone of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting the following evening where they will meet the Delaware State University Police Chief Bobby Cummings. He also stated that he will be presenting his goals and visions for 2022 during the meeting. Page 12

Item #2. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 24, 2022 PAGE 6 Councilman Rocha gave kudos to three of the city’s department directors, Mr. Paul Waddell, Mr. Mark Nowak and Mr. Jason Lyon. He then stated that over the last several weeks we have had snow storms, power outages and water breaks and he was very impressed with the snow removal and with the responsiveness for the power outages. Mr. Rocha went on to explain that when he got notification of the water break downtown on Governors Avenue he had to travel in that area not knowing the status of the break. He then stated that by the time he got downtown and crossed over Governors, it was pretty much all cleaned up. Mr. Rocha summed up by saying that he thought they should be lauded for their efforts. Councilman Boggerty agreed with Mr. Rocha and commended those at the City of Dover Electric Department. He explained that he had a call from a constituent that had an exorbitant water bill backdated possibly due to a malfunctioning radio frequency reader. He then explained that he spoke to customer service and they were able to resolve it. Mr. Boggerty noted that both sides were happy with the outcome and he would like to give a special shout out of extreme gratitude to the City of Dover Electric Department, and their customer service. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m. ANDRIA L. BENNETT CITY CLERK-SELECT All ordinances, resolutions, motions, and orders adopted by City Council during their Regular Meeting of January 24, 2022 are hereby approved. ROBIN R.

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE The Council Committee of the Whole Meeting was held by video conference on January 25, 2022 at 5:56 p.m., with Council President Sudler presiding. Members of Council present via video or telephone were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Neil, Mr. Hare, Mrs. Arndt, Mr. Rocha, Mr. Taylor, and Dr. Pillsbury. Mayor Christiansen was also present. Civilian members present for their Committee meetings were, Ms. Jackson and Mr. Shelton (Safety Advisory and Transportation), Mr. McCutcheon (Utility), and Mr. Contant and Mr. Shevock (Legislative, Finance, and Administration). COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Hare, and unanimously carried. UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Chairman Rocha presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor, and unanimously carried. Annexation Request - 166 Mifflin Road, Owned by Ernestine Huff Ms. Dawn Melson - Williams, Interim Director of Planning and Community Development, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the annexation request. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Melson Williams stated that Category 1 is a high priority annexation area consisting of enclaves, meaning the properties, or that specific area, is totally surrounded by lands that are already within the City of Dover. In the case of 166 Mifflin Road, it is surrounded by lands that are in the city and this annexation will complete that portion of Mifflin Road. There are currently no specific incentives offered by the city to entice Category 1 areas into the city. A lot of the property owners seeking annexation do so either because their septic system is at its life expectancy or they are interested in selling the property. Mrs. Melson-Williams advised, due to their proximity to municipal resources, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) is less likely to allow for a new septic system to be installed. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Jason Lyon, Director of Water Wastewater, stated there is a $7,000 impact fee, which is the cost to connect the service to that property. He noted the cost is different for commercial and residential. The commercial cost is based on the number of fixed years and demand characteristics of the property. Mr. Lyon advised the cost of hiring a contractor to hook up water only can range between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on how far the contractor will have to go in the right-of-way to connect to the water line. In addition to the impact and contractor fees, if the property is on a state road, like Mifflin Road is, there may be additional costs related to traffic control that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) may require. Mr. Lyon stated the sanitary sewer is more complicated due to its depth in some portions of the city, noting that the sanitary sewer can be upwards of 15 feet deep. He advised that it becomes a large excavation project for a contractor at that depth and those costs can be up to approximately $20,000 for just a sewer connection. Page 14

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2022 PAGE 2 Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Lyon stated the city provides payment plans for the impact fees; however, it does not provide payment plans for contractors because that is a third party and the city is not involved. Mr. Sudler stated he would like to look into ways to reduce the financial costs for their constituents, as well as look into constituents being double taxed by the county and city. Mr. Neil moved to recommend annexation of 166 Mifflin Road, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Public Works Director and Director of Wastewater Reclassification Mr. David Hugg III, Interim City Manager, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the reclassification of Public Works Director and Director of Water Wastewater. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg stated that Public Works and Water Wastewater will remain two departments. Public Works will be responsible for sanitation, streets, and stormwater and some of the engineering that falls under Public Works will now report to Water Wastewater. Mr. Neil moved to recommend reclassification of the Public Works Director and Director of Wastewater, as recommended by staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson, and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:20 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 Mrs. Arndt and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - Diesel Powered Street Sweeper - Bid Number 22-0020PW Mr. Mark Nowak, Interim Public Works Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bid for the diesel powered street sweeper. Staff recommended awarding the contract to THC Enterprises, Inc. t/a Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems for the City of Dover 7.3 Cubic Yard Volumetric Capacity Street Sweeper #22-0020PW, for the amount of $268,452. Responding to Mrs. Arndt, Mr. Nowak stated water cannot be used if the temperature is below freezing because the water will freeze and damage the components of the sweeper. This model of street sweeper will allow the city to use the machine without water when the temperatures are below freezing. Page 15

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2022 PAGE 3 Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Boggerty and unanimously carried. Booster Vaccine Incentive Mr. David Hugg III, Interim City Manager, reviewed the staff recommendation of a booster vaccine incentive brought forth by the COVID -19 Working Group. Staff recommended awarding four hours of administrative leave to staff who receive or have received the COVID-19 booster vaccine. Time must be approved for use by a Supervisor and used before June 30, 2022. Responding to Mr. Boggerty, Mr. Hugg confirmed this incentive is different from the COVID leave that is already in place. Currently staff who receives the vaccine and has side effects or tests positive for COVID-19 receive 40 hours of COVID leave. This incentive would be four hours of administrative leave for any staff that receive or have received the COVID-19 booster. Responding to Mr. Jonathan Contant, Civilian Committee Member, Mr. Hugg stated the effectiveness of the last campaign to receive the COVID-19 vaccine was not relevant. Many of the staff already received their vaccination prior to the start of the campaign. Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated there had been a significant number of positives and exposures across the city workforce. The number seemed to be trending down in the last week, but it has been in the triple digit range. Mr. Hugg advised that it had impacted their ability to carry out some functions, but he commended staff for jumping in and getting things done. He noted that staff had been very responsive to the guidelines and policies that have been put in place and that people are wearing masks, maintaining social distance and, in some cases, going back to virtual meetings to minimize the number of face to face contacts. Mr. Hugg went on to say people are still concerned about the pandemic, but feeling better. Mr. Hare moved to recommend staff’s recommendation of awarding four hours of administrative leave to staff who receive or have received the COVID-19 booster vaccine. Time must be approved for use by a Supervisor and used before June 30, 2022. Additionally, Mr. Hare moved to recommend that any future staff recommendations regarding booster vaccination incentives be approved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Proposed Amendments to the City of Dover Charter Mr. Dave Hugg, Interim City Manager, reviewed the proposed amendments to the City of Dover Charter. Referring to line 386, Mr. Neil stated that he would like to leave in the line that states “but no ordinance increasing the salary of the mayor or city council members shall become effective until the date of commencement of the terms of the mayor or council members elected at the next regular election.” He thought that line 386 becomes a check and a balance for the public. Mr. Neil stated the changes made to line 455 were very broad and he would like to have a legal opinion before moving forward. He agreed with striking the sidewalks section of the document, but questioned if Council should include the city being responsible for the Americans with Disabilities Act to reinforce the fact the city is following that. Page 16

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2022 PAGE 4 Mr. Contant agreed with Councilman Neil’s opposition to line 386, noting that it did serve as a check and balance. He stated he is not opposed to changing Council’s pay rate because it is low and has not been adjusted over time. Mr. Contant suggested if the Charter were to be changed, then determine a new base level of pay and tie it to an index that would automatically increase every year. Mr. Taylor agreed with Mr. Contant that Council’s salary should be tied to an index that is structured around attendance, increasing salaries to where they need to be in the beginning and then the index would apply for future pay increases. Mrs. Arndt reminded members that the background materials that Mr. Hugg had provided weeks and weeks ago mentioned that the provision at lines 388 and 389 was included in almost all of the municipal charters for the state. She suggested that it was pretty standard language for municipal charters in terms of the compensation not going into effect until after the next election. Mrs. Arndt advised that she would be in support of leaving that language in the charter. Mr. Anderson respectfully disagreed with the idea of not changing the charter regarding compensation. He noted that the documents provided by Mr. Hugg indicated that counties and some of the municipalities, including Georgetown and Wilmington, have this type of language in it. Mr. Anderson believed it had created a problem where the City has to play catch up every 20 years. He thought Council should set the authority for pay increases in the Charter and then set up a separate ordinance which establishes the different procedures. Mr. Anderson stated that he supports the amended charter as written. Mr. Sudler agreed with Mr. Anderson’s position on compensation. Referring to Section 44, Mr. Anderson stated he would like it to read that the budget must be presented by the last business day of May or on or before the fourth Monday in June. Noting the limit of 1/4 of one percent of taxable assessed value in Section 50, line 929, Mr. Anderson stated that the limit had been a stumbling block and requested Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, to look into the effect a change from 1/4 of one percent to one percent would have on the City’s bond rating. Referring to Section 18, Mr. Anderson stated he would like to add a line around line 448 to include the regulation of rental properties. He advised that he would also like to clarify the city’s authority in other areas such as safe communities and land rental. Mayor Christiansen stated that he agreed with Councilman Neil, Councilwoman Arndt, and Mr. Contant and about leaving the provision in the Charter that increases not become effective until the next regular election. He believed it was imperative for the goodwill of the public that they represent on a daily basis, noting that it was important to have the confidence of the public. Mr. Sudler moved to recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the City of Dover Charter. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare for discussion. Mr. Neil stated he was opposed to the motion on the floor and suggested that the items discussed at the meeting needed to be taken back to staff for further review. Mr. Anderson suggested that Section 53 be amended to indicate that the Police Chief be appointed by the mayor and confirmed by council. Page 17

Item #3. COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JANUARY 25, 2022 PAGE 5 Mr. Sudler moved to rescind the motion for the sake of further discussion of the points that were brought forward. Mr. Neil moved to refer the proposed Charter amendments (Attachment #1) back to staff for consideration. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Mr. Shevock moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Contant and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:13 p.m. SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Hare moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Delaware State University Security Update Chief Bobby Cummings, Delaware State University, gave a brief update on Delaware State University Security and the goal of partnering with Dover Police Department. Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Goals and Vision for 2022 Mr. Taylor reviewed a presentation of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee’s Goals and Vision for 2022. Mr. Sudler suggested that the city should partner with the state’s Historic Preservation Division to see if there is any state fund that could assist downtown business owners to upgrade their exterior and preserve historical features. Mr. Sudler stated he believed ordinances and restrictions for obtaining a liquor license or modifying a dwelling hinders businesses from coming downtown. Mr. Neil stated he appreciated Mr. Taylor’s presentation and noted that the Downtown Dover Partnership just awarded a contract to Mosaic that will bring the expertise that they do not have. Dr. Pillsbury volunteered to help Mr. Taylor and stated she had other ideas she would like to discuss. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Hare moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Page 18

Item #12. Information Technology Department December 2021 Report Larry Josefowski, Director Metrics: The four charts this month indicate the number of incidents handled returned to normal, which indicates better tracking of work. The number of low-level attacks doubled from the previous month (and quadrupled October’s numbers) although “high level” attempts were below average. The System Security scores are a way to measure compliance with policies vendors believes should be implemented in the environment. While a good measure, most require additional licensing for additional features. All servers are patched monthly; workstations are patched weekly; devices may not get a patch, and we remediate them. Network Security (External): The City had an out brief with the CISA department of Homeland Security regarding the Critical Resource Review (CRR) done in October. Selected members of the City team will be meeting to address items, starting with training, in January. Scenario planning also continues for a desktop Cyber Security Exercise on January 25th. We also had several external security issues to deal with, including checking and remediating vulnerabilities related to Log4J, an exploit in logging software. While a significant vulnerability, a vendor fix is not yet ready. Network Security (Internal): IT implemented multi-factor authentication for use of elevated privilege accounts. This was a mandate from our insurance company, if we wanted to continue the same level and cost for cybersecurity insurance. We also continue to monitor and develop the use of our multi-layer protection, which has included meeting with vendors and working with some of the more in-depth features. Training: User training completion dipped under 75%, as new workers joined the team. Training will be set up for those who have joined since the last training cycle, and all new workers will be enrolled as part of their account provisioning. Hardware Vulnerability: We purchased 2 “core” switches in December, which will allow better security and performance to all the other city switches that will feed to it. While we initially thought there would an extensive delay, we now expect to see these switches installed in February. Our network switch to the Police Department failed during December. We did have a spare, but it reinforces that the switch environment is overdue for replacement. Most of them were purchased between 2006-2009 and should have been replaced no later than 2014. While far beyond their supported life, they are now coming up on the device’s Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), which means the electronics themselves are failing. We do have limited capability to handle another switch failure, but that is stop gap measure, at best. We have requested ARPA funding to purchase a few additional switches, but additional funds will also be requested over the next couple of budget cycles to get well. Other: The team continues to work closely on the Tyler/Munis deployment. IT’s focus is to observe Tyler/Munis perform the upgrades, as they are contracted to do, but to know how to do patches and upgrades if needed. IT continues to work with DocuWare and the Water/Wastewater department to implement an automated process for work and service orders that will be implemented in January. IT has posted a position, and will be interviewing during January, with the expectation of on-boarding by early February. Page 41

Item #13. City Planner’s Monthly Report Department of Planning & Inspections DECEMBER 2021 Planning & Inspections Highlights Some Items to Call to Your Attention As 2021 was ending construction activity in the City continued to be strong. December saw 156 Permits issued with a commercial construction value of over $2.7 million bringing the total val- ue of new commercial construction this calendar year to date to $11.2 million. In comparison, this month last year (December 2020) a total of 116 Permits were issued. A total of 3,106 Busi- ness Licenses have been issued so far this year keeping a similar pace from the previous year. In late December, Renewal applications were mailed for the Public Occupancy Permits and the Rental Dwelling Permits licensing programs; these Permits must be renewed by January 31, 2022. Additional information on the new Public Occupancy categories and fees were included in the distribution. We continue to see a steady number of requests for Residential Building Permits issued for new home construction. December 2021 having nine (9) Permits for new dwellings. In addition to the reactivation of residential construction activity in the Eden Hill Farm TND, there is ongoing activity in Patriot Village and Oak Shadows. Completed Residential units in December include the reconstruction of the Baytree Apartments Building D/E after being significantly damaged by fire in 2020. For non-residential Building Permits focused on renovation projects and tenant fit-out projects, we continue to see slow but steady activity. The biggest win for Dover is the pending comple- tion of the Delmarva Corrugated Facility on the POW/MIA Parkway. Its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was achieved this month only about 14 months after the project’s Site Plan consid- eration by the Planning Commission in October 2020 as Site Plan S-20-08. Code Enforcement saw 277 new cases opened in December with most related to exterior prop- erty maintenance issues, abandoned/unregistered vehicles, and other Dover Code of Ordinance violations. A total of 492 Code Inspections were undertaken including 115 Annual Housing In- spections. There are 43 active Dangerous Building cases open as the City continues to abate vio- lations at some of these Dangerous Buildings. A total of 149 buildings are registered as Vacant Buildings. Unfortunately, the month saw six (6) Fire related incidents increasing the total to 19 for the year. See the Report from the Fire Marshal’s Office for more details. The Boards and Commissions continued to present meetings in a Hybrid (In-Person and Virtual) Format. The Planning Commission met on December 20th and two applications were consid- ered for revisions to the residential subdivision of Stonebrook East PND and a proposed Royal Farms location on McKee Road.

CHIEF’S ADVISORY COMMITTEE 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. December activity is as follows: The group met on December 16th and observed the Police Recruit Orientation session for the January 2022 Dover Municipal Police Academy class. The orientation session is the mechanism by which the Academy staff provide all of the information necessary for the students to meet all of the standards of basic law enforcement training. Following the session, the committee addressed the regular agenda and began with a discussion on the relationship between the students in the Capital School District and the School Resource Officers who serve them. It was determined that Dover PD needed to expand it’s messaging to the student body so they better understand the role of the SRO and why they do some of the things that they do each day. The other item that was examined involved the best way or ways to publicize the wide array of connections and resources offered by the Department. The pros and cons of the various media mechanisms were discussed. Consideration was giving to producing short videos of good quality to further agency goals. Lastly, after more than a year of bi-weekly meetings, the Advisory Committee will now meet once a month. 4|Page Page 85

Item #15. PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES  The Federal Grant for the BWC program came through during the Christmas holidays and it appears that we will not be penalized for ordering the devices prior to the official notification. Due to the new Body Worn Camera legislation passed in 2021, and the subsequent regulations that were developed, the Dover PD was left with little choice but to order 100 BWC devices instead of the 70 that were planned. The added devices will increase the overall cost of the program but keep the program in compliance with the law.  The GVI program continues in the planning phase. Due to the efforts of our Detectives, the national office has informed us they will not need to produce and discuss a preliminary report. They will move directly to the final report and deliver it to us in January, 2022. The state level officials have begun to assign specific staff to the Dover project. Timelines are still being met on this project.  Preparations for the Behavioral Health program co-responder model continue to move forward. A full time liaison officer has been selected and will be transferred into the Community Policing Unit in 2022.  The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) completed their assessment for Dover Policing to receive reaccreditation at the national level. I can report that the assessment team found no deficiencies and we can expect formal notification of approval in March of 2022. The credit for this success is department wide, but Mr. Robert Scott does deserve special recognition in his role as our Accreditation Manager.  A full Department meeting was held on December 9th and interested employees were briefed on agency goals and objectives for 2022.  We met with representatives of the HELP Initiative and will be expanding our relationship with their array of neighborhood safety programs in the coming year.  The final report for 2021 will take some time to be compiled but we expect to report positive news on many of the crime categories of concern. Please visit our website at www.doverpolice.org for up to date information on crimes and activities in the City of Dover. Respectfully Submitted, Thomas A. Johnson, Jr. Chief of Police 5|Page Page 86
