REMOVING PROPERTIES FROM THE 10-YEAR TAX ABATEMENT PROGRAM
Patricia Marney, Customer Service Director, explained that the purpose of this request is that there
are approximately 18 properties that have ownership from nonprofits to new homeowners, 13 of
whom are first-time homeowners. Ms. Marney explained that under the current code, the city can
remove these properties from the 10-year abatement program if ownership transfers. Ms. Marney
further explained that if the city were to do that, it would increase the tax revenue by approximately
$9,000, however after discussing it with Mr. Rodriguez in October, council approval is necessary.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Ms. Marney explained that 432 West Green Street was previously owned
by NCALL and was sold in 2021, and that is why that particular property is on the list. The city
would like to return it to the tax rolls, but it needs to be approved by council. Ms. Marney explained
that she is requesting that the tax office be able to transfer or remove the abatements
administratively without bringing them to council for approval. Ms. Marney further explained that
she is unsure why the tax office did not do this in the past.
Mr. Lewis requested that members of council be notified of the transfers when they happen
administratively.
Mr. Anderson suggested amending the motion to include sending the amended ordinance back to
the Legislative, Finance, and Administration committee for approval.
Mr. Neil moved to return the 18 properties to the tax rolls at the state-assessed value and to
allow the tax office to transfer or remove abatements administratively without bringing them
to council for approval, seconded by Mrs. Arndt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
MAYOR CHRISTIANSEN COUNCIL BUDGET BRIEFING
Mayor Christiansen delivered the following message to council prior to budget deliberations:
“Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentleman thank you for allowing me to speak. First, I
highly respect each of you and the work each of you do on behalf of the citizens we
all serve, and likewise the efforts of city staff preparing the City Budget.
On Friday afternoon Governor Carney informed me that some pending legislation
was passed to help us, the City of Wilmington, and Georgetown with some of our
fiscal challenges. City Manager Hugg will elaborate on that legislation, its nature
and effect on this year’s 2024 Budget, and future budgets for our city.
Before I yield the floor to Mr. Hugg, I would like to commend the vision of Senator
Elizabeth “Tizzy” Lockman and the cosponsors of Senate Bill 110, the lobbying
efforts of Mayor Mike Purzycki, myself, Mayor Bill West, City Manager Hugg, and
the support of our Local State Legislative Delegation, who without their support
this piece of legislation would not have come about. I thank each of them from the
bottom of my heart.”

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2023 PAGE 3
Mr. Hugg, City Manager, thanked Mayor Christiansen and gave an overall detailed explanation of
Senate Bill 110 and how the legislation will impact the City of Dover. He further explained that it
is a PILOT (Payment In Lieu of Taxes) kind of approach.
Mr. Hugg recommended to council a four-part motion which includes disregarding the options for
consideration in the packet and recognizing the additional General Fund revenue in the proposed
budget. Mr. Hugg also recommended that the motion eliminate any proposed tax increase for
Fiscal Year 2024 and ask that council adopt the proposed budget as presented by staff with the
amended revenue number, including the proposed electric rates effective July 1, 2023.
Mr. Hugg reminded members of council that this new revenue source, while sustainable, does not
fix long-term the concerns that need to be addressed on taxes, fees, licenses, grants, etc.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Mr. Hugg stated that yes the city would be holding the property tax
revenue and the property tax at this year’s rates. Mr. Hugg further explained that they will be
substituting the revenues that would otherwise be raised by a tax increase to recognize the
increased court fees and moving forward with the rest of the recommendation, which includes the
proposed electric fees with no adjustment that were presented to council several weeks ago to go
into effect in July. Mr. Hugg confirmed that the property tax rate would not change from its current
rate for Fiscal Year 2024.
Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Hugg confirmed that the property tax rate will remain at 44.5 cents
for $100 in assessed value.
Mr. Anderson stated that his concern is then, what can be done to frame the electric rate increase
to August 1, 2023.
Mr. Sudler stated that he is still looking forward to a sustainable plan being brought forth by staff.
Mr. Sudler stated that as of right now, they are not moving anything or raising anything, which is
fine, but he would still like to hear a proactive approach for the future within the next year or two.
Mr. Sudler stated that he thinks the City of Dover needs to be working towards a four- or five-year
plan projection.
Mr. Anderson asked what would need to be done to make the new electric rates effective on August
1, 2023.
Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hugg stated that when revenues increase, they have more money
to expend, and when they go down, they must cut services or defer expenditures. Mr. Hugg further
explained that this adjustment balances the budget and provides the necessary funding for the
electric department based on the traditional 12-month period, beginning July 1 of each year. Mr.
Hugg explained that if they try and reduce the electric rate increase, then it would be necessary to
find additional funding.
Mr. Neil stated that when they delay the increase, it is supposed to be helping everyone. He further
stated that Ms. Marney does advise those who need assistance. to different agencies, and he thinks
that the city may want to formalize it and do a little bit more to help those who need it. Mr. Neil
stated that giving a break for a month, basically, is going to be pushing the city to the wall in terms
Page 4
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2023 PAGE 4
of problems that could arise. Mr. Neil stated that they went through the study, and they are going
to have to bite the bullet and pay it. He further stated that if people do not want to use their
electricity, they can do things to save money. Mr. Neil stated that they cannot give everybody a
break for a month and then say okay, now they must pay for it. Mr. Neil stated that he would prefer
sticking with what they have and then finding a way to help the people who are in dire conditions
financially so that they can give them the help they need.
Mr. Rocha stated that it has nothing to do with the individuals who cannot afford to pay, it is about
fairness and the way the billing is structured. He further stated that if it is implemented like it was
last year on July 1, then most of the month of June goes into that first bill in July. He explained
that his constituents are upset that they are paying the rate change for the month of June when it
went into effect on July 1 because the billing software does not allow the city to stop the rate on
June 30.
Responding to Mr. Hare, Ms. Marney explained that she believes the confusion is the consideration
of the meter read dates vs the billing dates. Ms. Marney explained that the rates are implemented
with the bill date, not the meter read date. She further explained that there are approximately 2,400
accounts that would be affected by whether they make the rate effective as of July 1 or August 1.
Ms. Marney explained that the same cycle billing routes that will be affected and have one or two
days in the prior billing period under the July or the Fiscal Year 2024 rates. She confirmed that it
does balance out in the end, as far as how it is paid or how it is billed to customers.
Mr. Rocha stated that he is standing up for the people, and these are the calls that he is receiving
from his constituents, so he is bringing the concerns to council at this time.
Mr. Lewis stated that it is good news that there will not be a property tax increase of 4% this year,
however, he concurs with Mr. Rocha and Mr. Anderson concerning the electric rate and the timing
of the billing. Mr. Lewis explained that he has also received calls from his constituents with respect
to their concerns with this matter.
Responding to Mr. Sudler, Ms. Marney explained it is only a 1–2-day difference, and that there is
not a large amount of time in between. Ms. Marney explained that she is working with Kay Sass
on this issue.
Mr. Anderson stated that he thinks that the concern is that the chart shows that the people are billed
for June, even some of them in parts of May, and it gives the appearance that the increase is
retroactive. Mr. Anderson stated that they are trying to make sure the residents have the proper
notice. Mr. Anderson explained that the public hearing was tonight, and they cannot possibly adjust
their energy use retroactively.
Mr. Hare stated that the people complaining about the increase are doing to complain at the end of
the year when they are getting a better rate. Mr. Hare stated that if the rates are raised next year,
then the rates go into effect in August, and it is going to be affected in July. Mr. Hare stated that
everyone cannot start paying the same rate on August 1, because the system is not set up that way.
He further stated that years ago, when the rates were lowered, nobody complained that they were
affected the month prior.
Page 5
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 2023 PAGE 5
Mr. Lewis stated that while he does not disagree with Mr. Hare, it is more about the fact, as Mr.
Anderson stated, notifying the people and giving them ample time due to some people that are on
a budget.
Ms. Arndt stated that she would like to hear the staff’s reaction and what the budget implications
might be from Councilman Anderson’s proposal.
Responding to Ms. Arndt, Ms. Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, explained that, as stated in the past
couple of budget discussions, they are going to encounter this issue whenever there is an increase
or change in rate. She further explained that the timing of the billing does not align with the meter
reading date. She stated that when walking into a grocery store or driving up to a gas station,
although they can drive past particular stores, they do not have a lot of control over day-to-day
fluctuations.
Mr. Boggerty asked for an explanation of the impact of implementing Mr. Anderson’s proposal of
the transfer from depreciation reserve to be increased from 0 to $900,000.
Responding to Ms. Arndt and Mr. Boggerty, Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, explained that
they can implement Mr. Anderson’s suggestion, however, she suggested not using the rate
depreciation reserve, instead using the rate stabilization because it is directly related to rates. She
further explained that it will keep the rates the same, it will defer the rates to be placed in effect to
August 1 versus July 1, and the transfer from the reserve account will offset that and it will lead to
a balanced budget.
Mr. Anderson stated that he would be glad to amend his motion. Mr. Sudler agreed to second the
amended motion.
Mr. Neil asked of the 24,000 accounts how many of those would fall into the timeframe between
June and July. Mr. Neil asked how many people are affected by this change and when the meters
are read. Ms. Marney stated that she will follow up and send this information to members of
council.
Mr. Anderson referred to the chart shared by Ms. Marney and explained that they can see that most
people will be affected to one degree or another. He further explained that there is a substantial
group of about 15% that almost all their bill is affected.
Mr. Lewis reminded everyone that there is a motion on the floor and that members of council are
elected officials, and that receiving constituent complaints is part of the job.
Mr. Hare stated that he would like to go ahead and vote on this item. Mr. Hare further stated that
he agrees with Ms. Arndt, that next year’s budget needs to be started earlier because he has a ton
of questions.
Mr. Anderson moved to amend budget ordinance 2023-05, on line 638, the transfer from rate
stabilization is increased from 0 to $900,000. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler and
carried by a roll call vote of six (6) yes (Anderson, Boggerty, Rocha, Sudler, Lewis, Hare)
and three (3) no (Neil, Pillsbury, Arndt).
