LEGISLATIVE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Legislative and Finance Committee met on January 15, 2002 with Chairman Gorman presiding.

Proposed Ordinance Amendment - Establishment of Human Relations Commission by Creating a new Division 6 - Human Relations Commission in Chapter 2 - Administration , Article I - In General, of the Dover Code

For the past several months, the Community Harmony Group, City of Dover, and State Human Relations Commission have worked diligently to begin dialogue and develop objectives and strategies to restore and rebuild the community. In concert with these efforts, members considered a proposed ordinance amendment which would establish a City of Dover Human Relations Commission.

The committee recommended adoption of the proposed ordinance amendment.

In anticipation of a great deal of public interest, Mr. Ruane suggested that a public hearing be held on Monday, February 11, 2002, prior to final action by Council.

Mr. Ruane moved for adoption of the proposed ordinance amendment, as recommended by the committee, seconded by Mr. Salters and unanimously carried. (The First Reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting).

Financial Policies

Members considered a revised draft of the Financial Policies that were originally submitted to the Legislative and Finance Committee on November 19, 2001, as developed by the Budget Task Force. The purpose of the policies is to present a standardized set of principles for the City to follow in managing its financial and budgetary affairs. They are general statements of policies, which represent long-standing principles, traditions, and practices used to guide the City in maintaining financial stability. The policies will also serve as documentation to creditors and bond holders that guidelines are being followed accordingly.

Mrs. Mitchell suggested an additional paragraph regarding the Reserve Policy as follows:

“At no time should the City’s budget balances fall below their specified percentages. In such a case the City will budget for the shortfall over a period not to exceed three (3) years. If the shortfall in the budget balance would cause extreme burden on the taxpayers, the shortfall may, by City Council approval, extend beyond the three (3) years but no longer than five (5) years.”

Mr. Speed requested, when referring to the use of monies in the contingency account, that the phrase “The City may use” be used rather than “The City will use”. He also suggested inserting the word “only” after the word “will” in the second sentence of the four bulleted items.

The committee recommended adoption of the Financial Policies, as amended.

Members of Council were provided the Financial Policies, as revised to reflect the changes recommended by the Legislative and Finance Committee.

Mr. Ruane moved for adoption of the amended Financial Policies, as recommended by the committee, seconded by Mr. Truitt.

Mr. Speed stated that, although some of the revisions were incorporated in the policies, the amendment to replace “will” with “may” with reference to the contingency account was not included. It was his feeling that this amendment should be included in the policy.

Mr. Speed moved to amend the motion to revise the paragraphs which reference the use of monies in the contingency accounts by replacing “will” with “may”, seconded by Mr. Salters and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Gorman absent).

The motion to adopt the Financial Policies, as amended, (Exhibit 2), was carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Gorman absent).

The Electric Department currently owns and maintains a 1995 International with a Versalift VST4000 Aerial Device (Vehicle #778).

Due to budgetary reasons, the committee took no action on the request. Upon being informed that the left-over models that were being considered for purchase were sold and no longer available, Council authorized staff to re-bid the purchase of the dump truck.

Pear Street Warehouse - Roof Replacement

The City-owned portion of the Pear Street Warehouse, which is connected to the new charter school, shares a common roof with the school. The charter school is in the process of repairing their portion of the roof, which will cause the roof elevation to be raised three (3) inches. The City’s portion of the building is also in need of a new roof and if it is not repaired in conjunction with the charter school’s roof, the difference in elevation will cause a damning effect to the City’s roof and significantly increase leakage. Through a competitive bid, their general contractor, EDIS, Inc., selected P & C Roofing, Inc.

The roofing contractor for the school has provided the City with an estimate of $63,880 to repair approximately 40% of the City’s portion of the roof. Mr. DePrima felt this project warranted acceptance as a sole vendor bid since the roof is shared with the charter school and consistency of the roof treatment is important, and because a competitive bid was used by the charter school. He indicated that the remaining roof repairs will go out for bid.

The committee recommended approval of the replacement of one-half of the roof on the Pear Street Warehouse at a cost of $63,880 using P & C Roofing, Inc., as recommended by staff.

Mr. Ruane moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation to replace one-half of the roof on the Pear Street Warehouse at a cost of $63,880 using P& C Roofing, Inc., by consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Carey and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Gorman absent).
