SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT -JANUARY 30, 2013The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met on January 30, 2013 with ChairmanHutchison presiding.

Safety Concerns - New Dover High School Pedestrian/Vehicular TrafficMrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, remindedmembers that staff had provided the Committee with regular updates regarding the progress of theconstruction of the new Dover High School, and during the last update staff stated that they believedstrongly that a traffic signal was necessary at the east entrance of the school site. Mrs. Townshendexplained that the east entrance was directly across the street from a number of residentialdevelopments where bus service will not be provided. She stated that without a traffic signal thereis no safe way for students who walk to cross Route 8. Per Delaware Department of Transportation(DelDOT) requirements, a warrant analysis was performed; however, the results did not support asignal at that location, thus DelDOT would not allow installation. Mrs. Townshend stated that atraffic signal had been proposed and approved by DelDOT at the west entrance of the school;however, she felt it unlikely that students coming from the east would walk an extra quarter of a mileto cross at the signal on the west side. In addition, she added that the unsafe walking conditionswould likely result in more parents driving students to school, which would create more traffic onan already heavily traveled road. Mrs. Townshend noted that the new Dover High School would bea heavily utilized community facility throughout the day; therefore, a crossing guard would not bean option.

Page 7: evogov.s3.amazonaws.com · REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING A G E N D A FEBRUARY 25, 2013 - 7:30 P.M. CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS 15 LOOCKERMAN PLAZA DOVER, DELAWARE OPEN FORUM - 15 MINUTES

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 4

Mrs. Townshend noted that these concerns had been discussed previously at the Committee andCouncil levels and the consensus was that not allowing for a signal at the east entrance of the schoolwas unacceptable and unsafe; however, DelDOT refused to put up the signal based on their study. She reminded members that the Committee had also recommended that sidewalks be constructedalong the north side of Route 8 to fill the gaps in the sidewalk network; however, DelDOT respondedthat this would have to be included in the Capital Transportation Plan, which involves other fundingpriorities. Noting that the new Dover High School was scheduled to open in the Fall of 2014,Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the Committee had requested representatives from theCapital School District to be present at the meeting to engage in dialogue regarding how the Citycould work together with the District to have a signal placed at the east entrance.

Responding to Mr. Davis regarding the posting of a 15 mph speed limit restriction near the school,Mr. Koenig was unsure if the speed limit in school zones was restricted to 15 or 20 mph; however,he felt that this may depend on the type of school.

In response to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend explained that locating a signal at the entrance of theschool was not a cost issue, since she believed that the Capital School District would construct it aspart of the project; however, DelDOT would not permit this signal on the road.

Mr. Hutchison called upon Dr. Michael Thomas, Superintendent of the Capital School District, forhis perspective on this issue. Dr. Thomas introduced Mr. Phil Martino, Vice-President of the CapitalSchool District Board of Education; Mr. Carl Krienen, Architect, ABHA Architects; and Mr. GreggMoore, Civil Architect, Becker Morgan Group. Dr. Thomas concurred with Mrs. Townshend’saccount of the issues at the new Dover High School, noting that the District shared the concernsregarding safety and reiterating that the traffic would not be limited to the opening and closing hoursof the school due to the many activities surrounding the facility. Dr. Thomas stated that the traffichas concerned the architects since the planning process for the project began. He noted that theseissues had been a focal point during discussions with DelDOT and that the traffic signal was neededat the east entrance for safety.

Responding to Mr. Hutchison regarding the necessity for two (2) signals, Dr. Thomas expressed hisbelief that both signals were needed. Since most of the walking traffic would be from the east sideof the school, he felt that most students would cross at the closest point (the east entrance). Inaddition, Dr. Thomas advised members that the main baseball/softball complex was located behindthe east entrance; therefore, beginning in the spring, traffic at the end of the school day until afterdark would significantly increase annually.

Mr. Moore reviewed a map of the New Dover High School site, noting that the road at the westentrance was paid for by the Capital School District and was designed and installed to meetDelDOT’s standards for becoming a future thruway to Hazlettville Road. He explained that themajority of the buses from the City would be using the east entrance and that a light was neededthere to protect buses entering the school due to their slower speeds, larger size, and the oncomingtraffic from the west, as well as for the children crossing the road. Mr. Moore stated that the busesthemselves were not enough traffic to dictate a traffic signal through the warrant analysis process;however, consultants to the district made it clear that a signal was warranted from a safetyperspective.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 5

Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Dr. Thomas stated that he could provide an informed estimate of thevolume of foot traffic anticipated based on the number of students within the school’s radius whoare not eligible for transportation. Mr. Hutchison felt it was important that the City and SchoolDistrict join forces to develop data regarding foot and vehicle traffic patterns to reinforce the needfor a traffic signal for submission to DelDOT.

Mr. Davis recalled that the original plan included the light at the east entrance with a plan to alsorequest a light at the west entrance. Responding, Mrs. Townshend explained that the decision tosignalize the east entrance (as opposed to the west entrance) was due to: 1) the fact that the westentrance is a public street that will serve the apartment complex planned for construction west of theschool and will connect to Tribbett Street and possibly to Hazlettville Road; and 2) the safetyconcern presented by the curve of Dover High Drive (the primary vehicle access entrance) as itintersects with Route 8.

Concurring with Mrs. Townshend, Mr. Moore explained that the western intersection was designedjointly with Leander Lakes (a 240-unit apartment complex to be constructed west of the school site),which allowed the warrant analysis to be met easily due to the combination of expected trafficbetween the complex and the entrance to the high school. He noted that the traffic pattern wasdesigned to segregate bus traffic (at the east entrance) from the student, teacher, and public trafficat the west entrance. He expressed his opinion that it made sense for an additional traffic light to beinstalled at the east entrance to allow buses to make a left turn (from the east) into the schooluninterrupted; because a striped crosswalk was needed at that location for walkers, which DelDOTwould not permit without a signal; and because a “T” intersection with significant traffic would becreated with Heatherfield Way.

Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Moore indicated that the property’s designation as a school wouldnot affect the warrant analysis. He noted that standards do not change based on the type of facility,even if that facility is a school.

In response to Mr. Martino, Mr. Moore indicated that the amount of through traffic on Route 8 wasnot sufficient to change the outcome of the analysis and that this problem had been anticipated priorto the traffic study.

Mr. Hutchison suggested that numbers provided by Dr. Thomas, including the volume of walkers,etc., coupled with the letters from the officials and school board members, district and the City ofDover may cause DelDOT to reconsider the traffic signal for safety reasons. He felt that the fact thatthe facility is a school should weigh into the analysis and that the entrance should not be treated asa typical intersection. Responding to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Townshend stated that she was not aware of any appeal processavailable through DelDOT.

In response to Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, Mr. Moore stated that he was unaware of any factorsthat would change the warrant analysis in the future, other than collisions at the location.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 6

Responding to Mr. Perza regarding access to the school for walkers, Mr. Moore explained that7,000 feet of sidewalks and bike paths into all aspects of the school were included in the design. Hefelt that DelDOT would not put a crosswalk on Route 8 unless there were a traffic light; therefore,the only designated crossing areas would be intersection near WaWa and Mifflin Road and at thewest entrance of the school. Mrs. Townshend reminded members that there would not be a continuous sidewalk on the south sideof Route 8.

Mr. Perza suggested that information be gathered regarding the number of students whose safety isat risk and the distance they must travel to cross safely to establish a need for a traffic signal.

Mr. Davis suggested that the representatives a the State legislature also become involved andsuggested reintroducing the concept of a pedestrian bridge.

Mr. Hutchison suggested conducting open dialogue and gathering information, including the totalnumber of people going in and out of the school, as well as the total number of students walking anddriving. He felt that the Police Chief could contribute additional information pertaining to trafficpatterns, accidents, and safety information and that all of this information should be compiled,perhaps including input from State officials, and presented to DelDOT with a request for furtherreview and consideration of the traffic signal at the east entrance of the facility.

Mrs. Townshend noted that assistance had not yet been requested from legislators; however, SenatorBushweller and Representative Scott had been advised that this was an ongoing issue and that shewould keep them informed in the event that their involvement was needed.

Dr. Thomas said that he had also had discussions with Senator Bushwell and Representative Scott. He noted that the Capital School District was attempting to exhaust every avenue to resolve thematter with DelDOT through the proper channels and would continue these efforts.

In response to Mr. Koenig, Mr. Moore stated that he was uncertain if the design of the intersectionwould have to be modified if a traffic signal were installed. Mr. Koenig noted that the CapitalSchool District must apply for a construction permit for the entrance very soon since the signaldesign takes many months, which would make it increasingly difficult to have a signal installed intime for the school opening. Mrs. Townshend stated her understanding that, from a geometricstandpoint, the intersection was to be designed so that if a signal was needed in the future it wouldnot require a new design. Mr. Moore shared Mrs. Townshend’s opinion; however, he stated that hecould not be certain because the traffic lights are designed by DelDOT.

Mr. Les Blakemen, 209 Falmouth Way, stated that he lives across the street from the school site andexpressed his concern with traffic. He noted that Heatherfield and Heatherfield East have turn lanesoff Route 8; however, there is no turn lane entering Cranberry Run. Due to the lack of a turn lane,vehicles are required to slow down in the line of traffic to make a turn into the development, whichhe felt complicates traffic patterns, stating that drivers tend to cross over the solid white line on theshoulder to go around traffic. Mr. Blakeman explained that he currently has to wait for four (4) tofive (5) minutes on some mornings before he is able to get out into traffic and he sees people takingrisks because they have been waiting for so long. In response to Mr. Keller, Mr. Blakeman stated

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 7

that this dangerous situation exists going both east and west and that adding buses and traffic willcompound the situation. He noted that an additional problem exists at the intersection of KentonRoad and Route 8, where drivers turning left onto Kenton Road stop in the intersection when the leftturn lane is full.

Mr. Moore indicated that the traffic light at the west entrance of the school should help to alleviatesome of the inbound traffic; however, an additional light at the east end would also help because itwould stop traffic from both directions.

Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO) inquired if a pedestrian-activated signal had been considered, which would be in use onlywhen pedestrians are present. Responding, Mr. Hutchison requested Mrs. Dawn Melson-Williamsto determine if this option had been considered.

The Committee recommended requesting staff to gather information from the Capital SchoolDistrict, including the number of people going in and out of the school and the total number ofstudents walking and driving, as well as information from the Police Chief pertaining to trafficpatterns, accidents, and safety information, and that this information be compiled, perhaps includinginput from State officials, and presented to the Delaware Department of Transportation with arequest for further review and consideration of a traffic signal at the east entrance of the New DoverHigh School.

By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

Request for Waiver of Appendix A - Subdivisions, Article VI - Subdivision - GeneralRequirements and Design Standards, Section E - Lots (5) - Requirement for Lot Frontage ona Public Street - 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC (SB-13-01)Ms. Dawn Melson-Williams, Principal Planner, reviewed a Petition to Waive Subdivision Standards to allow the creation of a lot without public street frontage for property located at 1151-1155 WalkerRoad, LLC. Mrs. Melson-Williams explained that the Minor Subdivision Plan proposed to createtwo (2) parcels consisting of 0.6594 acres (Lot 1) and 1.1196 acres (Lot 2) from the existing parcelof land consisting of 1.779 acres.

Staff found that, due to the location of the existing buildings and the existinglayout of the property, in order to achieve the required lot frontage on Walker Road (the publicstreet) an irregular shaped lot would have to be created and would require variances for setbacks. This proposal would simplify the parcel shapes and present a series of proposed easements foraccess, utilities, parking and shared stormwater management facilities between the two (2) lots.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request for a waiver of lot frontage on apublic street for Minor Subdivision Plan SB-13-01, Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC.

Responding to Mr. Perza, Ms. Melson-Williams confirmed that a maintenance agreement pertainingto the easements had been established.

Mr. Terry Jaywork, representing the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, stated that there wouldbe a large reduction in the number of vehicles at the property when the rear building (currentlydesignated for office space) becomes transitional housing.

The Committee recommended approval of the request for a waiver of the lot frontage requirementon a public street for Minor Subdivision Plan SB-13-01, Lands of 1151-1155 Walker Road, LLC.

By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation,seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

West Dover ConnectorMr. Koenig advised members that DelDOT indicated that their Right-of-Way Section was in theprocess of actively acquiring the necessary real estate to build the West Dover Connector, and it wasbelieved that this would take until mid to late 2014.

Briefing on Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Projects - RichVetter Mr. Rich Vetter, Executive Director, Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO) reviewed a map entitled “City of Dover West Street Bike/Pedestrian Improvements” andadvised members of the goal was to fill in some of the gaps in sidewalks and bike paths forpedestrians and bikers. He explained that interest was expressed in extending the bike trail that runsfrom Schutte Park past the Eden Hill Medical Center to run along West Street to the Dover TransitCenter with a 10-foot wide shared use sidewalk (areas depicted in red). Mr. Vetter stated that thisproject was in the conceptual planning stage and Century Engineering was preparing a cost estimate.

In response to Mr. Hutchison, Mr. Vetter advised that the project was still in the planning stage;however, he felt that it could be accomplished through the Transportation Enhancements Program,which currently had some funding. He indicated there was no target date for the project at this time.

Mr. Vetter reviewed a map entitled “West StreetTraffic Study,” noting that discussions werebeginning regarding the conversion of West Street to a one-way, south-bound street, which was anidea that had been presented in connection with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Vetter indicatedthat a traffic analysis would be performed by a consultant to see if the concept made sense.

Responding to Mr. Hutchison’s inquiry regarding subsequent steps in the process, Mr. Vetter advisedthat there would be many steps involved, including receiving input from DelDOT, the City, thepublic, and business owners and he noted that the West Dover Connector may also impact traffic inthe area.

Update on the Creation of Bicycle/Pedestrian SubcommitteeMr. Hutchison advised members that a Workshop was held on January 22, 2013 regarding theestablishment of a Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee and a tremendous amount of interest wasexpressed. Mr. Hutchison stated that, based on the large turnout, he felt that a committee of seven (7) would be appropriate, rather than five (5) members as initially proposed. He indicated that afterall of the information is gathered from attendees at the meeting, a subcommittee would be selectedfor members to approve.

Ms. Greta Whittendale, Hartly, Delaware, indicated that she was in attendance at theBicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee meeting and was concerned that many of the attendees had avested interest in spending the funds that would be made available for promoting their own privateenterprises, such as bicycle shops. It was her understanding that less than 2% of the attendees wereactual bicyclists. Ms. Whittendale expressed her hope that the subcommittee would be comprisedof residents throughout Kent County, since County residents use City streets. In response,Mr. Hutchison noted that the Committee will be diverse and include walkers and cyclists, as wellas those concerned with safety interests.

By consent agenda, Mrs. Williams moved for acceptance of the Safety Advisory andTransportation Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Bonar and carried by a unanimous rollcall vote.

*Evaluated bid based on Local Vendor Preference

The FY 2013 Street Program contract documents allow staff to alter quantities up to 35% withoutchanges to unit prices; therefore, the contract final value may be adjusted to reflect all availablefunding. Daisy Construction Company was the City's contractor for the FY 2011 Street and AlleyProgram and their work was found to be satisfactory. In addition, Daisy Construction Company’sand American Infrastructure, Inc.'s qualification information, which included a list of recentlycompleted projects similar in scope, as well as a financial statement, were all found to be adequate. It was staff's opinion that the bid represents fair market value and their qualifications are inaccordance with the requirements of this project. Staff recommended awarding a unit priceconstruction contract to Daisy Construction Company and America Infrastructure, Inc. for theFY 2013 Street and Alley Program, with total quantities for each contractor to be based uponprogress and quality of work. The total contract value would range between $1,290,921.42 and$1,384,466.15, depending upon the rate of progress and quality of work completed by eachcontractor. The Public Works Director may add or delete from the contract based on availablefunding throughout the contract period and inform the City Manager of such additions and deletions.All work would be paid for at the unit prices bid for work completed and accepted by the City ofDover. The total work authorized under this contract would not exceed the available funding.

Mr. Koenig advised members that he expected that the State legislators would add to the projectfunding in the spring.

Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Koenig stated that, even with a Local Vendor Preferencededuction, George & Lynch was neither the low bidder nor the second low bidder for this project.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 14

Mr. Anderson asked what the quality evaluation differences were between George & Lynch andAmerican Infrastructure, Inc. Responding, Mr. Koenig stated that he did not recall the City everhaving a contract with American Infrastructure, Inc. He noted that the quality of Daisy’s work has been good; however, at times progress has been slow. He stated that he did not recognizeGWP Enterprises as a company that has done work locally. Mr. Koenig advised members that oncework begins, if one company is having quality difficulties, the other contract will make moreprogress and end up with a larger quantity of work with this contract. Responding to Mr. Anderson,Mr. Koenig stated that he was not aware of any issues with the quality of George & Lynch’s work.

Mr. Bonar moved for approval of staff’s recommendation to award unit price contracts forthe FY 2013 Street & Alley Program to Daisy Construction Co. and American Infrastructure,Inc., with total quantities for each contractor to be based upon progress and quality of workcompleted.

Members of Dover City Council

Honorable Carleton E. Carey, Sr., Mayor

15 Loockerman Plaza

Dover, DE 19901

Council Members and Mayor Carey:

The members of the Dover Fire Department continued to raise the bar in the year 2012,

in addition to responding to over 1,000 calls, they participated in training classes,

numerous community dealings, three large fundraising events and the day to day tasks

associated with being a member of a volunteer fire department.

In these tough economic times, all efforts are being made to ensure we are providing the

best fire protection possible by maintaining the apparatus we currently have and delaying

the request for a new engine for yet another year.

In August, we participated in Hogs & Hops, an event generated to raise funds for the FOP

and local volunteer fire departments, a great group event that raised approximately

$15,000.00.

September was a busy month for us, not only did we participate in the annual DVFA

conference we had our 2nd

Annual Gettin’ Hosed 5K as well as the Annual Backyard

Burner held at Bubba’s Rock Shack, both of which proved to be great fundraisers for the

department.

Thousands of children learned about fire prevention and safety during Fire Prevention

week in October. Members of the DFD travelled to several schools and daycares within

the fire district and provided many station tours. I would like to extend a huge thank you

to those involved in Fire Prevention, as many of the firefighters take vacation to be

involved in this week long endeavor.

In years past, the DFD has had issues with weather, time constraints as well as threats

against person and property during Operation Santa, so this year we decided to change it

up a bit and had Santa visit us here at the fire department. Not only were the children

able to visit with Santa one on one, they could tour the fire department and have their

pictures taken (by their parents). It was a tremendous success!!

In December, we were back at full staff with the addition of two new dispatchers (one at

each station), I would like to express my gratitude to the staff for making sure all of the

shifts were covered for an entire year, they did an outstanding job and because of them

and their efforts, the safety of our firefighters and the service to our community never

diminished.

I would like to close by saying what an honor and privilege it was to serve as the Fire

Chief for 2011 & 2012. In my role as leader of this department, I gave my best effort to

promote honesty and maintain integrity all while striving to provide outstanding fire

protection to the citizens of the City of Dover and surrounding areas.

I wish the new chief, Patrick West, the best of luck during his tenure and will support him

to the best of my ability.

Thank you.

She noted thatClearview Meadow is a Planned Neighborhood Development (PND), consisting of 88.2524 acres,+/-

located north of South Little Creek Road, south of North Little Creek Road, and east of Babb Drive. She stated that a 6.8429 acre Active Recreation Area was initially shown, including a walking pathsystem, play structure, swings, tennis court, picnic tables, and benches. This active recreationalcomponent was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission on July 27, 2004. A RevisedRecreation Plan #1 was reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committeeon November 9, 2004 and received Planning Commission approval on December 20, 2004. Shenoted that the Revised Recreation Plan #1 involved the elimination of the tennis court and theaddition of a swimming pool and bath house facility with an associated parking lot. The playgroundequipment was also relocated in this redesign.

Currently, there are 26 duplex units, 35townhouse units, and two (2) single-family detached units complete (63 units complete); two (2)duplex units under construction; and one (1) single-family detached home in permit review. Mrs. Townshend explained that, due to the economy, progress on this development ceased; however,it has recently been purchased by a new developer, Shirliz LLC c/o Knollwood DevelopmentCorporation, who has submitted the Revised Active Recreation Plan #2.

Mrs. Townshend indicated that the applicant has proposed several revisions to the Active RecreationArea of the subdivision, which includes 6.5624 acres of land to be reserved as Active RecreationArea, creating a park area centrally located in the subdivision. The revision proposes the eliminationof the swimming pool and bathhouse building, relocation of the gazebo, and the addition of a

Overview of Recreation Fees and Proposal for Open Gym Fees for Non-Residents of Dover Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, introducedMr. Wayne Voshell, Manager of the John W. Pitts Recreation Center. She advised members that

Page 65: evogov.s3.amazonaws.com · REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING A G E N D A FEBRUARY 25, 2013 - 7:30 P.M. CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS 15 LOOCKERMAN PLAZA DOVER, DELAWARE OPEN FORUM - 15 MINUTES

PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENTCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 5

the City of Dover’s Recreation Division offers a variety of programs that are supported by fees,including participation fees for recreation programs, fitness classes, and sports leagues; field rentalfees for use of multipurpose and softball fields and park pavilions; and rental fees for use of the PittsCenter Gym and multi-purpose room. She explained that fees for program participation are set basedon the program and are advertised in the program guide. Members reviewed the RecreationDepartment Fields, Parks & Pavilion Rental Rates.

Mrs. Townshend advised members that, in evaluating the fee structure to improve cost recoveryassociated with recreation programming, staff developed a proposal to charge fees to non-residentsof Dover for participation in Open Gym. Based on data regarding non-resident participants in OpenGym, staff estimated that the new fee would generate approximately $5,000 annually. This wouldaccount for an increase in the Recreation Division’s revenue of approximately four (4) percent (4%). Mrs. Townshend stated that since the Recreation Division is a General Fund Department, which issupported by tax revenue, a modest fee for non-residents to participate in Open Gym was an issueof equity. She assured members that the purpose of the proposed fees was for cost recovery and notto make a profit.

Mrs. Townshend stated that demographic information from users (obtained from Open Gym cardapplications) indicated that non-resident users are from Camden, Clayton, Felton, Magnolia, Milford,and Smyrna and the majority reside in more affluent developments such as Cardinal Hills, Old MillAcres, St. Jones Commons, etc. She noted that there are some users from General’s Green, CapitalPark, and Rodney Village, which are considered low-income areas. She assured members that staffwas sensitive to the economic issue and did not want to adversely impact a community that needsrecreation and may be unable to afford such a fee.

Staff recommended approval of the Open Gym Fees, as proposed.

Mr. Voshell advised members that he had not discovered another similar facility in the State ofDelaware that provides an Open Gym Program like the City of Dover’s or that offers the number ofhours available for the gym. He stated that all such facilities are fee based, including the Boys andGirls Club.

In response to Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Townshend reminded members that the contribution providedby Kent County was granted as a capital investment for the facility. Noting that County residentsare able to participate in the City leagues, classes, or any other program held at the Pitts Center forthe same fees as City residents, she felt that the County was provided a value for their investment.

Noting that senior citizens would be exempted, Mr. Anderson suggested that individuals who are Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) recipients, who wish to disclose such information, also beprovided an exemption.

Mrs. Townshend referred to the City’s Super Summer Playground Program that has been offered forseveral years at a minimal fee of $150 for the six (6) weeks of camp. In reviewing the costs versusthe revenue for the program, she stated that the City has been realizing a $12,000 deficit. Of the 40

participants, she stated that 22 were out of City and all participants were from suburban, middle-classfamilies. She noted that the program had been restructured to run the entire time school is closedduring the summer. In order to break even, she stated that the fee must be $75-$80 per week;therefore, the fee has been set for $80 per week, with a discounted rate of $75 for siblings. If aparticipant is registered for more than one (1) week, the fee after the first $80 would be $75. Inaddition, extended hours will be offered at an additional charge for those parents who rely on daycamp programs to provide their child care. Mrs. Townshend stated that the increase in fees willallow the City to cover the costs, explaining her feeling that the City should not be subsidizing childcare for middle-class families who do not live in the City.

Responding to Mr. Bonar, Mrs. Townshend stated that staff did not perform a comparison with theYMCA since their programs are based on memberships; however, she stated that the City’s SummerCamp was half the cost (with the increase) of the program offered by Delaware Technical andCommunity College.

Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of staff’s proposal for Open Gym fees fornon-residents of Dover, with the stipulation that staff establishes a scholarship for people whoare eligible for Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) for use of the Open Gym period(Attachment #1). The motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and unanimously carried.

Planning for Affordable Housing and HomelessnessReferring to the need for affordable housing and the need to address homelessness, Mr. Andersonrelayed appreciation for the beginning of a State charrette on this issue and to members of CityCouncil and the Mayor for their efforts in this regard. However, he suggested that as the City ofDover plans for the future, all citizens should be given consideration. In order to do this, hesuggested that there must be an understanding of what occurs on a daily basis in the City.

Mr. Anderson noted that although the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing had no representativepresent to address members, he invited others, as follows: Ms. Manivanh Johnson, President ofOpen Doors Ministry (6284 West Denneys Road); Mr. Mike Rowe, Program Director for theVeterans Outreach Program at People’s Place in Milford (1129 Airport Road, Milford); andMs. Vickie Bryant, Support Services for Veterans’ Families at People’s Place in Milford.

Ms. Johnson explained the issues involving homelessness and needy families in the City of Doverand surrounding communities and advised members that she spends a great deal of time with thehomeless. She advised members that during the past year, Open Doors Ministry distributed over 400backpacks filled with essentials to the homeless and needy families, as well as approximately 50sleeping bags during the past winter. She advised members that Open Doors Ministry also providesclothing, bus tickets, food vouchers, utility bill assistance, etc. She requested the City’s assistancein relaying these needs to the community.

Concurring with Mr. Bonar, Mr. Rowe stated that although the agency is out of Milford, it coversboth Kent and Sussex Counties and noted that there is a shelter on College Road in Dover. Heexplained that one of the big problems with the homeless is that they do not know where to go for

assistance, although there are resources available. He suggested that the City of Dover hold anetworking event attended by the various agencies. This could be accomplished at no cost to thetaxpayers, since sponsors would be obtained by his and other similar agencies and could be held ata place such as the Modern Maturity Center. The doors would be opened to the homeless so thatthey could receive direction for assistance, and this would also allow the agencies to networktogether in an attempt to better serve the homeless.

Mr. Rowe advised members that People’s Place also assists individuals with utility bills, rent,security deposits, etc. It also offers a new program that will assist veterans and their families byoffering temporary financial assistance to keep them from losing their rental homes, provide securitydeposits, or assist with utility bills.

Mr. Rowe explained that many of the homeless are accustomed to living on the streets and, whenprovided assistance, will return to being homeless by choice. However, he shared success storieswhere assistance was provided and within a few months, these individuals obtained housing on theirown.

Mr. Bonar noted that although there is a directory of the various social services and communityaction agencies in existence, it does not provide financial criteria, updated telephone numbers, etc. He suggested that there be a concerted effort among State, County, and local governments and utilitycompanies to compile this information to be provided to each governmental agency and serviceprovider. This would provide a means of providing individual direction to those who meet variouscriteria. Mr. Bonar felt that it would behoove service providers to put together an organization toassist in developing a directory with the information to be made available to all those who wish torender such services.

Concurring with Mr. Bonar, Ms. Bryant indicated that she had been in contact with veterans whowere very disgruntled. She stated that, along with assistance, there must be some type of sustainableincome so that if a program is able to help, there would not be a need for such help month aftermonth. She explained that there are not adequate funds or resources to help everyone on a dailybasis. Ms. Bryant advised members that it is difficult to know where to refer unemployed veteransfor assistance.

Mr. Anderson relayed appreciation for the work done by the individuals who addressed members andtheir organizations. Noting that the State paid $2M for hotels to house homeless families,Mr. Anderson inquired about the demographics of the homeless and whether it is easier or moredifficult to find resources to help men, women, or families, etc.

Responding, Ms. Johnson stated that the majority of those she comes in contact with are individualsand that they seem to be the hardest to provide assistance for. Mr. Rowe stated that his agency’sdemographics fall in line with the national average in Delaware. Although veterans are less than10% of the nation’s population, he noted that 30% of all homeless people are veterans, 45% of whomare Vietnam veterans. Of this 45%, he stated that 10% are women. Since there are many more

However, he notedthat with the expansion of Kool-Aid operations, there would be 29 additional jobs at Kraft Foods. Also, he reminded members that ILC would be expanding, although Dover was not selected for thenew location. He explained that ILC was able to purchase a facility in Sussex County forapproximately half the cost of locating in Dover.

Mr. Bonar noted that several large commercial buildings remain vacant in the City of Dover. Hesuggested that the landlords reduce rental fees to attract businesses to Dover. He indicated that ifCouncil action were necessary, such as a reduction in a tax rate, he would support those efforts.

John W. Pitts Center Open Gym Fee Proposal

Why charge for non-residents for open gym?

• The City charges for recreation programs, including fitness classes, sports instruction and sports leagues. Open gym provides a “free” alternative to the leagues.

• Open gym costs the City money in operating costs. o Energy/utility costs for the Pitts Center o Staffing costs for the Pitts Center (including custodial services)

• Consistently since the opening of the Pitts Center, more than half of all open gym participants have been non-residents of the City of Dover.

• The City needs to recover its costs. • The JW Pitts Center, as all City recreation programs and facilities, is a general fund expense.

Non-residents do not pay taxes. • Non-residents have caused residents of the City to leave the facility by being too competitive or

argumentative.

Proposed fee schedule:

Resident Non-Resident1 Annual Charge Free $50 for individual

$100 for family Quarterly Charge Free $15 for individual

$30 for family Per Session Charge (if no annual or quarterly fee paid)

Free $3 for individual (cash only)

Senior Citizens Free Free

1 Persons who provide documentation of eligibility for the State of Delaware EBT benefits shall be eligible for the fee to be waived.

Mr. Scott Koenig, City Manager, assured members that staff has confirmed that the alley isunimproved and considered to be a “paper” alley. He noted that electric utility infrastructure andstorm drainage infrastructure are located within the alley; therefore, public utility easements will berequired. Since the alley is 14 feet wide, half of the alley or seven (7) feet, would be conveyed tothe requesting parties.

Staff recommended conveyance of seven (7) feet of said alley to only 235, 239 and 243 BayardAvenue and in conjunction with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel. Conveyance would be in proportions complimentary to the existing lot widths of these parcels.Should members favor approval of the request, staff recommended: 1) abandonment of the subjectalley with conveyance of seven feet (7’) of said alley to 235, 239 and 243 Bayard Avenue, currentlyowned by Ms. Joan Case, Ms. Claudia McCabe-Cort and Marami Partners, respectively, inconjunction with the provision of a public utility easement for each parcel; and 2) adoption of aresolution by Council setting a public hearing regarding the proposed abandonment forMarch 11, 2013.

AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONSMr. Shevock moved for approval of the agenda as presented, seconded by Mr. Anderson andunanimously carried.

Purchase of In-Car Computers that Integrate with the Ten Video Systems PurchasedPreviously with Office of Highway Safety (OHS) FundsDuring their Regular Meeting of January 14, 2013, City Council approved the purchase of ten in-carvideo systems with funds granted from the Office of Highway Safety. Police Chief Hosfelt remindedmembers that these systems are not stand alone systems in the vehicles and require that an integratedcomputer component be installed in the vehicle to function as intended. The computer componentis proprietary and must be purchased from the same sole source vendor, HubData911.

Police Chief Hosfelt explained that there are five (5) mobile computer replacements and associatedvehicle mounts funded in the Police Department’s FY13 computer replacement and vehicleequipment funding lines. In addition, grant funds are being secured to fund the additional five (5)mobile computers and associated vehicle mounts, for a total of ten in-car computer and videosystems for the City’s patrol fleet. These ten systems would upgrade and replace ten older systemsin the fleet, which would replace the last of the VHS technology in-car camera systems and updatea few of the older digital camera systems.

Police Chief Hosfelt stated that this matter had previously been considered; however, since some ofthe grant funding had been redirected, it was felt that this matter should be reconsidered for approval. He noted that half of the funding ($32,245) was included in the City’s Budget and the remaining halfwould be obtained from State grant funding, for a total amount of $64,490 for the purchase of thein-car computers.

Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of staff’s recommendation to purchase ten (10) in-car computers and associated vehicle mounts necessary for the operation of the in-car videosystems. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and unanimously carried.

Proposed Ordinance - Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03 - Amending Chapter 22 -Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant BuildingsDuring their meeting of January 14, 2013, members considered proposed Ordinance #2013-03amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article XII - Vacant Buildings. Aftermuch discussion, members referred the matter back to staff to allow them to hold a workshop todevelop amendments for consideration and staff was instructed to include residential properties.

Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning and Community Development, advised membersthat staff met with Mr. Phil McGinnis, Policy Director for the Kent County Association of Realtors,

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATIONCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 2

and, as a result, Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03 was developed. She explained that thetwo (2) main differences were reflected in Lines 21-26, which is a change in the definition of avacant building, and Line 116, which would extend the exemption to those buildings that are activelybeing offered for sale or lease from three (3) to five (5) years.

Staff recommended adoption of Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03.

Responding to Mr. Perza, Mrs. Townshend stated that the definition of an unoccupiedbuilding/property, for the purpose of this section of the Code, would include those properties thatare not occupied in accordance with their intended use. She noted that, should a building have achange in its use which did not require a zoning amendment, there would still be a requirement forthe City to review its current use.

Mr. Perza suggested that the proposed ordinance include a specific definition for an unoccupiedbuilding.

Mr. Phil McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, reviewed comments regarding the proposedamendment (Attachment #1).

Responding to Mr. Hare, Mrs. Townshend indicated that the additional amendments presented byMr. McGinnis had not been incorporated into the proposed Ordinance; however, she indicated noobjections.

Mr. Hare moved to recommend approval of Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-03,stipulating that it include those changes presented by Mr. McGinnis (Attachment #2), secondedby Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried.

Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-04 - Amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and BuildingRegulations, Article X - Rental DwellingsDuring their Regular Meeting of January 28, 2013, City Council considered proposedOrdinance #2013-04 amending Chapter 22 - Buildings and Building Regulations, Article X - RentalDwellings, without a recommendation by the Committee. Mrs. Ann Marie Townshend, Director ofPlanning and Community Development, had advised members that several concerns were relayedduring the Committee meeting and in a letter from local Realtors. As a result, she met with DeputyCity Solicitor William Pepper, Police Chief James Hosfelt, MCpl. Paul Bernat, and CouncilmanLynn to develop two (2) staff amendments. These amendments were presented to City Council fortheir review and consideration, which resulted in additional recommendations by City Council. After much discussion, it was suggested that all of the amendments proposed during the discussionbe consolidated and presented as a whole. Therefore, City Council referred the matter back to theCommittee for their review and recommendation.

Mrs. Townshend reviewed the proposed amendments, indicating that they would address previouslyrelayed concerns and incorporate the suggestions made by the Committee as well as City Council.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATIONCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 3

She explained the dire need for the proposed ordinance, not just for a few bad landlords and/orneighborhoods, but for the entire City.

In support of the proposed amendments, Police Chief Hosfelt stated that they would provide thePolice Department and City another tool to help evict those individuals who are “bringing down”the City and noted that each Council District would benefit from such an ordinance. He advisedmembers that such programs have had great success, citing the Dover Housing Authority and severalother apartment managers, throughout the City. As an example, he stated that there was one (1)major incident in a Dover Housing Authority residence last year and within 24 hours, there was aU-Haul outside of the residence. Since then, there have been no major problems, explaining that thisapproach sends a clear message to the neighborhood and goes hand in hand with the DowntownSafety Task Force and the Wells Fargo Grant initiative and would support all issues the City hasbeen attempting to address and eradicate. Although landlords may not initially like the newregulations, Chief Hosfelt felt confident that they would realize that the regulations serve as a toolto help them with problem tenants.

Mr. Lynn advised members that since the Justice of the Peace Court in Delaware has exclusivejurisdiction over all landlord/tenant actions, Chief Magistrate Alan G. Davis was requested to reviewthe proposed ordinance amendments and noted that his comments were provided to members(Attachment #3). On behalf of the Committee, he relayed great appreciation to Chief MagistrateDavis for taking his time to review and comment on this matter. In addition, Mr. Lynn noted thereceipt of correspondence received from Mr. William Hickcox (Attachment #4).

Mr. Anderson reiterated his concerns and noted that they were also mentioned by Chief MagistrateDavis; therefore, he suggested the following amendments: 1) change SA#1 (a)(1) from “Any arrestfor a Felony” to “Any conviction for a Felony”; and 2) change SA#1 (a)(2) from “Three or morearrests for Class A Misdemeanors within a 12-month period” to “Three or more arrests for Class AMisdemeanors or above within a 12-month period.” Otherwise, he stated that the City would be incourt fighting the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and everyone else, which he would notobject to as long as the City had a “strong hand.” Mr. Anderson stated that the heart of thisordinance was absolutely necessary and was not punishing landlords, but rather protecting them(property values, enhanced ability to safeguard their property and property rights), as well as thesurrounding residents. Rather than viewing the amendments as a punishment to landlords, he statedthat it should be viewed as something that empowers landlords to be a part of keeping thecommunity safe.

Mr. Hare again relayed his objections with creating requirements for excellent landlords who havenever caused problems in order to address issues created by other landlords. He suggested that onlythose landlords who have had violations or issues be made to take the required landlord class. Thoselandlords that opt out of taking the class and then have a problem would be required to pay a severepenalty ($200) and be mandated to then take the class. He stated his understanding of the need forthe requirements but felt that they should specifically be for problematic landlords rather thanpenalizing all landlords by requiring them to take the class.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATIONCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 4

Mr. Rushe explained his concern with the City infringing upon the property rights of both landlordand tenants. Referring to the letter received from Chief Magistrate Davis, he noted that there weresuch laws already in the Delaware Code, although it refers to convictions rather than arrests.

Mr. Bonar advised members that other than the naming of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, thisissue had resulted in the receipt of more phone calls than any other issue in his time serving as amember of City Council. He referred to an email received from a local property owner who operatesa bed and breakfast and also serves as a Realtor, and read a portion of the email, as follows:: “Wehave made a very large investment in this City and want to promote Dover in both of the businessesbut I have to tell my guests where it is safe to walk. Our current tenant is in an apartment and shetells me she is afraid to go out at night because of the gangs of young men who hang out in the alleyand obvious drug activity that goes on in the neighborhood.” Mr. Bonar stated that this propertyowner asked if the City could do something about these concerns. He felt it was Council’sresponsibility to take action and that the proposed ordinance was a step in the right direction.

In response to Mr. Bonar, Mr. Pepper stated that he had worked with staff (Mrs. Townshend andPolice Chief Hosfelt) as well as Mr. Lynn in the development of the proposed ordinance andamendments. He noted that the concept was to apply the Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment (HUD) regulations that apply to public housing to all rental housing throughout theCity. He assured members that HUD regulations had been upheld in Delaware and if there iscriminal activity in public housing, the individuals involved can be evicted, noting that there was norequirement of a conviction. Mr. Pepper felt that the City may be “pushing it” by instituting theregulations on just an arrest, particularly for those crimes that are less than Class A misdemeanors. Noting that the purpose was to maintain a quality of life, he suggested the inclusion of a list ofcrimes.

Mr. Bonar stated his desire for the City to err more on the side of caution and make sure thatcitizenry is not subjected to undue legal expenses when it can be avoided. Responding, Mr. Peppernoted that the noise ordinance, which requires eviction after a certain threshold, would not becovered under the Delaware Code referred to by the Chief Magistrate; therefore, he stated that theCity had already gone into “uncharted waters.” However, he stated that he was not aware of howmany cases of eviction there had been under the noise ordinance since the City Solicitor’s Office isnot typically involved. Mr. Bonar questioned if the Police Department or Planning and CommunityDevelopment Department would have such records.

Responding to Mr. Hutchison, Mrs. Townshend stated that the proposed ordinance was compatiblewith all federally funded housing.

Mr. Bonar also expressed concern with the City applying guidelines that are relevant to a federallyfunded jurisdiction to those of a privately owned rental unit whose occupants do not receive anysubsidy.

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATIONCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 5

Mr. Perza indicated his concurrence with several comments that had been made by Mr. Rusheregarding future impacts; with Mr. Bonar regarding the state of our neighborhoods and the concernsof the growth of Dover and desires of our neighborhoods in the future; and with Mr. Pepper,particularly regarding the notice requirement as it pertains to what is required of a tenant. Heexpressed his reservations regarding leaving a vague decision up to the Chief of Police or any Cityofficial, suggesting that offenses and requirements be very specific and include a defined list.

Mr. Joseph E. Bauer, Sr., 135 Old Forge Drive (Hamlet), advised members that he had observedmembers discussing their concerns about how the proposed ordinance would affect problem tenantsand landlords. He advised members that these situations affect him and his wife as residents. Uponretirement in 1995, they moved into their residence and, for the love of the area, they purchased theproperty in 1998. He stated that the first couple of years were nice; however, he stated that now,when the weather is nice, it is necessary for him to observe who is outside in order to avoid aconfrontation. Mr. Bauer stated that it is a regular occurrence for police officers to pay visits to otherresidents. He indicated that his property was recently appraised at the same level as when it waspurchased in 1998, and though he acknowledged that the economy had been down, he thought therewould have been some growth since 1998. Having observed other properties in the neighborhood,he stated that he could plainly see that it was not the same type of neighborhood as it was in 1995. Although there was concern for those that the proposed ordinance would directly affect, Mr. Bauerrequested that members also consider and understand the deleterious affects these problems havecaused to other residents who live in the City and pay taxes. He relayed his support for the proposedordinance and felt that it would help keep his neighborhood at its current level and allow for it togrow into the type of neighborhood it was when he first moved into the area.

Mr. Steve Wilson, 51 Greenwood Drive, stated his observation that there are no longer middle-classdevelopments in the City and there is an abundance of apartments being bought by investors whodo not live in Delaware. These investors immediately apply for Section 8 Housing so that they willnot have to fix these buildings up. He noted that there are other agencies that house mental patients,sex offenders, or legitimate criminals that would otherwise be in mental institutions, halfway houses,or prisons. He advised members that these landlords are aware of what is occurring with theirtenants but they have no interest in anything but money. Mr. Wilson suggested that the housingauthorities make sure that only those that are entitled to live at a residence are actually living there,explaining that on several occasions individuals from another area are arrested. He felt that if theCity would take the time to contact the jurisdiction from which the arrested individuals come, theirbenefits would be terminated due to non-residency. He felt that more effort should be made to crossreference so that many of the problems could be eliminated.

Ms. Mary Jane Starkey, 139 Old Forge Drive, advised members that the property next door to heris a problem for the City. The landlord lives in New Jersey and does nothing for the property unlessthe City becomes involved. She indicated that the fence in the back and front of the property iscurrently in bad shape. The landlord has had to install three (3) new storm doors recently becausethe tenants destroy them. She stated that, as adjacent property owners, they have done everythingpossible to have something done with the landlord as well as the tenants. She stated that two (2)

LEGISLATIVE, FINANCE, AND ADMINISTRATIONCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 2013 PAGE 6

boys who were tenants have both been arrested and convicted for serious crimes involving guns. Ms. Starkey advised members that one of the boys was responsible for assaulting an individual inthe area and is due to be released soon, and that this is very frightening. She indicated that theseboys have been observed carrying a dog by its ears, using a kitten as a basketball, etc. She stated thatpolice are constantly being observed swarming the neighborhood. Although she understands theconcerns some members have regarding good landlords, she explained that it was unfair for goodresidents to pay for bad residents.

Ms. Ami Sebastian-Hauer, Executive Director of the Dover Housing Authority, advised membersof the Dover Housing Authority’s experience with the “one strike you’re out” policy. In 1996, HUDauthorized all housing authorities to adopt a policy that would allow them to evicttenants/participants in Section 8 for criminal activity. She stated that the policy addresses criminalactivity, explaining that individuals do not need to be arrested, nor must there be a conviction inorder to evict a tenant. All tenants in public housing and Section 8 are required to follow thepolicies. If DHA becomes aware of any violation, they allow for due process, providing seven (7)days for repair. Management talks to the individual, and if it is discovered that the violation has notbeen corrected to their satisfaction, then the tenant is convicted. Ms. Sebastian-Hauer remindedmembers of a major shooting that occurred at Manchester Square in 2010. It was discovered thattwo (2) of the Dover Housing Authority’s tenants housed two (2) of the shooters and allowed gunsto be brought into the public housing units. These tenants were given 24 hour evictions and leftwithin that time frame. She reiterated that the Dover Housing Authority is permitted to terminateSection 8 assistance based on an individual’s participation in criminal and drug related activity andno arrest or conviction is necessary.

At the request of Mrs. Williams, Ms. Sebastian-Hauer advised members that since the policy wentinto effect, the Dover Housing Authority has been proactive and has reviewed the issues as a whole. Noting that they provide program and services for families, she explained that they began to address“soft” skills, assure children have after school activities, and improve developments by increasinglighting and installing security cameras. As a result of these actions, she stated that the housingstock has improved and that they have been able to decrease their maintenance staff from 15 toeight (8).

Mr. Phil McGinnis, 555 E. Loockerman Street, stated that he represents the Kent County Associationof Realtors (KCAR) and reviewed comments regarding the proposed amendment (Attachment #5).

Mrs. Townshend stated no objections to incorporating the suggestions provided by the KCAR andfelt that they would provide clarification.

Mr. Hare moved to recommend referring Staff Substitute #1 for Ordinance #2013-04 back tostaff, to allow for the inclusion of the changes presented by Mr. McGinnis and to ensure that the concerns relayed by Chief Magistrate Davis are addressed. The motion was seconded byMr. Shevock and carried by a roll call vote of three (3) yes and two (2) no (Mr. Anderson andMr. Lynn).

Dover City Council MembersDover City ClerkMayor Carey

Dear City of Dover officials:

I am writing to express my disappointment in the newly proposed rental ordinance which puts yetanother burden on the law abiding landlords in the City of Dover. I have owned rental properties in theCity of Dover for the past 12 years. During that time I’ve never received a single complaint from atenant, a neighbor of a tenant, or any other person regarding their activities. I have received a couple ofnotes from the City regarding grass needing mowing when the tenant was on vacation and those wererectified immediately. However, because of the actions of a minority of the property owners, I am nowgoing to be required to accommodate another requirement.

This new ordinance if passed will certainly be followed by all the good, conscientious, law abidinglandlords. However, it is very clear that those people are not the problem. The problem is and willcontinue to be the renegade landlords that aren’t interested in following the rules, but making a quickbuck on run down properties. This ordinance will not change bad behavior into good behavior. Rather than continue to punish all of the landlords regardless of their record, why not consider a focusedeffort on the violators. If the focus of council and the city administration would be on those fewindividuals that are the majority of the problem, you will not be over legislating on those of us who arenot.

While I agree with the concept that all property owners must commence eviction proceedings once theyare made aware of illegal activity in or on their property, I strongly oppose the concept of having to sitthrough a class on the subject. It is an insult to my intelligence to suggest that I need to have a class(even an online class) to teach me the difference between right and wrong or what activity isappropriate or not. I have a masters degree in business administration and certainly believe that I amcapable of understanding Council’s intentions without sitting through a class. I consider my time to beextremely valuable and am extremely upset that Council believes they have the right to legislate my freetime activities.

I respectfully request that this ordinance be voted down, or at the very least amended to remove therequirement for law abiding property owners to sit through a class (even if it is online).Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

William B. Hickox44 Shinnecock RoadDover, DE [email protected]

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Utilities-Power Plant (NAES) DATE SUBMITTED: 2/11/2013

PREPARED BY: Vincent Scire, Plant Manager

SUBJECT: Evaluation of Bids for Unit 3 Generator Repairs and Exceptions in Plant CIP Budget

REFERENCE: Project EG1312 – McKee Run Unit 3 Generator Repairs

RELATED PROJECT: N/A

REVIEWED BY: City Manager & Controller/Treasurer

EXHIBITS: N/A

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $199,675 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $236,000

FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Power Plant; CIP Page 168; Division Budget Page 284;

TIMETABLE: This work is scheduled to be completed in March and April of 2013 during a Planned outage

on Unit 3. Contract to be awarded upon Council approval

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder, NAES Turbine

Services in the amount of $199,675.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This Project is intended to perform inspections and repairs to the Unit 3 Generator to be completed

during the scheduled upcoming spring outage on that unit. Included in the inspection will be a full

battery of electrical tests on the generator to determine condition for continued operation. As part of

that inspection, typical wear components such Hydrogen seals and insulation bushings will be

replaced. No major component replacements are anticipated.

Proposals were solicited from ten (10) vendors; three (3) did not respond, three (3) declined to bid, and

four (4) provided proposals. The proposals were evaluated using cost, experience, and bid

completeness. The bidder with the highest evaluated score is NAES Turbine Services. That bidder also

provided the lowest bid. Below is a summary of the evaluation scores and the submittal prices:

Contractor

Evaluation Score

TurboCare 4.60 $209,920.00

Turbine Pros 3.33 $277,396.00

General Electric 3.01 $447,518.00

The contract price leaves $36,325 (15.4%) of the budget to cover the Plant Operator’s materials and

unknown items. If it is determined that additional funds are needed to complete unforeseen major

repairs, the funding sources will be identified and submitted to City Council for approval in a timely

manner in which to place the unit back in operating status.

TIMETABLE: February 2013 - June 2017

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding the three (3) year contract to Osmose Utilities

Services, Inc. and the option to extend the contract for two additional one year extensions.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This is an on-going maintenance program to treat and preserve wooden electric poles that make up part of the City’s

electric infrastructure. This maintenance program allows the Electric Department to target rotting poles and replace them

prior to jeopardizing the integrity of our electric system. It is a utility standard that all poles be tested once every ten (10)

years. To complete testing of all poles (transmission and distribution) throughout the City, the testing program will test

roughly 20% of all poles every year for the next five (5) years. The inspection of the poles will determine what type of

treatment, if any, is necessary to preserve the life of the poles. It will also identify poles that are in immediate need of

replacement at which time City crews will replace those poles.

Bids were solicited and advertised according to City Purchasing Policy by the City’s Contract and Procurement Manager

under Bid #13-0021EL. Bids were sent directly to three (3) pole testing companies. Only one bid was received and

reviewed by staff.

JERRY'S PAVING INC. MILFORD, DE $283, 959.67 $266, 517.90

*Evaluated Bid based on Local Vendor Preference

The Cannon Mill Paving Improvements Program contract documents allow staff to alter quantities up to 35% without changes to unit prices; therefore, the contract final value may be adjusted to reflect all available funding. Harmony Construction Co. submitted all of the contractor’s qualification information, which included a list of recently completed projects similar in scope, as well as a financial statement, that were all found to be adequate. It is staff’s opinion that the bid represents fair market value and their qualifications are in accordance with the requirements of this project. In conclusion, staff recommends awarding a construction contract to Harmony Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $275, 854.27 for the Cannon Mill Paving Improvement Program contingent upon acceptance of infrastructure dedication by City Council. Representative Scott has committed $100,000 in new community transportation funds to offset the cost of these improvements and staff is also seeking funding from other leg to provide additional offsets of cost.

FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Water Management, CIP Page 119, Account No.: 417-6800-568.40-31. Deficit will be made up by remaining land money for the Piney Point Well ($16,263.55) and from postponed FY13 Water Quality Improvement budget ($431,308.59). Funds will be transferred upon City Council approval.

TIME TIME TABLE: Work is to be completed within 210 days of receipt of notice to proceed.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award the contract to JJID, in response to City of Dover Bid #13-0019DPW, for the amount not to exceed $892,000.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS

This project proposes designing and drilling a new production well in the Piney Point Aquifer. This new well, located in Schutte Park, will be a replacement of former production well #12, which was located off of Water Street. This well will increase production capacity, increase system pressure and stabilize chlorine residuals in the water distribution system. This well is justified with the growing demand of the City’s residents and industrial users. Staff decided to utilize a design/build method to construct this production well. The contractors are responsible for submitting designs that meet the requirements outlined in the Request for Proposals, as well as all applicable regulations. The specific work for this project includes the design and construction of a new well, building, chlorine feed system, 30-inch ductile iron pipe chlorine contact tank and associated piping, valves, meters, appurtenances, excavation, backfill, testing, startup and site restoration. The proposal was advertised to the public as a Request for Proposal in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent under RFP #13-0019DPW. Proposals were opened on February 7, 2013. Each contractor was reviewed based upon the following criterion:

Factor Point Range

Experience: Demonstrated experience with similar projects and history of achieving highest and best results among its peers.

0 to 20

Staff: Qualifications and utilization of the firm's employees assigned to the provision of these services, including previous work experience, technical management experience, education and training.
