REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

The Regular Council Meeting was held on May 23, 1994 with Council President Christiansen presiding. Council members present were Mr. Lambert, Mr. Tudor, Mr. Leary, Mr. Pitts. Mrs. Malone, Mr. Weyandt, Mr. Salters and Mr. Hare.

Council staff members present were Chief Smith, Mr. Lucas, Mr. O'Connor, Mr. DePrima. Chief Osika. Mrs. Green and Mr. Rodriguez.

OPEN FORUM

The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m. , prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Christiansen declared the open forum in session and reminded those present that Council is not in official session and cannot take formal action.

Ms. Marcie Vascos, Vice-President of the Capital Green Tenants Association, relayed concern with the possible elimination of foot patrol in the Capital Green area. It was her understanding that the funding for the foot patrol would be ending as of June 1, 1994. Ms. Vascos reminded members that there is a drug problem in the Capital Green neighborhood. Since summer is beginning, that will be a great number of unsupervised children. If foot patrol is continued, it was her feeling that trouble makers will know that the residents are no longer tolerating the trouble they bring to the Capital Green area. Ms. Vascos also stated that the foot patrol brings a positive influence on the children and gives them a better sense of what the police are there for as opposed to learning negativity from these trouble makers. On behalf of the Capital Green Organization and as a tenant of Capital Green. Ms. Vascos urged Council to obtain the necessary funding to continue foot patrol in the Capital Green area.

Responding, Chief Smith thanked Ms. Vascos for her concern and stated that the funding for the foot patrol is not in jeopardy. He assured members that the Dover Police Department is not anticipating reducing the foot patrol in the Capital Green complex and that bicycle patrol has been permanently added to the area as well.

Open Forum Adjourned at 7:24 P.M.

The invocation was given by Reverend Doreina Miles, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET

A public hearing on the Electric Revenue Fund Budget is required for compliance with the 1985 Electric Revenue (Refunding) Bonds Resolution - Annual Budget Section (as amended by 1990 Bond Resolution) prior to adoption of the budget. Notice of the public hearing was properly advertised.

Mr. O'Connor explained that the Electric Fund incorporates expenses related to the production, engineering, transmission and distribution, and administration of the electric utility. It also funds a portion of the General Fund and the Intergovernmental Service Fund. The proposed 1994/95 Electric Fund includes $46.9 million of expenditures. Of this amount, $21.5 million is expected expenses of generated fuel and purchased power. Mr. O'Connor stated that there are no increases in electric rate fees or other charges and noted that. Dover continues to provide competitive electric rates locally. He stated that $5.3 million will be transferred to the Improvement and Extension Fund for capital expenditures and that $3.7 million will be transferred to the General Fund.

Mr. O'Connor advised members that the McKee Run NOx Regulation Compliance is scheduled for the 1994/95 fiscal year. He stated that pending regulations involving the NOx emissions from the City of Dover's generating facilities are still not complete and uncertainty exists concerning the funding level requirements. Funding for this project is anticipated from operating revenues and bonds. Mr. O'Connor stated that the remaining projects in electric include scheduled overhaul of Unit #3 which will increase the reliability and efficiency of Unit #3; and the replacement of #1 fuel oil tank and repair of #2 fuel oil tank.

Mr. Weyandt reviewed the Electric Fund Budget line by line, as follows:

Electric Administration - Page 120 - Account #30-27

Subscription and Membership Dues - total projected budget is $14.160. Mr. Karia stated that the primary expense in this account is for membership with the American Public Power Association. He explained that the APPA Membership fees is based on the number of customers in the utility and gross revenues; therefore, the approximate membership fee for the City is $12,500.

Electric Administration - Page 120 - Accounts #30-29 and #30-31

Consulting Fees - total projected budget is $40,000 and Contractual Services total projected budget is $48,000. Mr. Karia explained that these accounts are charged with the annual studies that are performed, trustee fees, escrow agent fees, and paying agent fees, which are required to meet the bond requirements.

Electric Engineering - Page 125 - Account #10-11

Salaries - total projected budget is $919,426. Mr. Karia explained that the increase in salaries from FY 1993/94 ($489,540) is due to the merging of departments, noting that there are no budgeted amounts for Electric Systems Operation for FY 1994/95.

Electric Engineering - Page 126 - Account #60-79

McKee Run Breaker Replacement - total projected budget is $280,000. Mr. O'Connor stated that an additional circuit is being added to the Horsepond Road Substation in order to provide a second circuit to backup the AeroPark Industrial Park.

Upon reviewing several line items at length, Mr. Weyandt stated that he had met with the City Manager and Finance Director and reviewed the budget line by line. He explained that he was criticized for expediting the approval of the budget during the Council Budget Hearings on May 10, 1994. It was his feeling that the citizens do not realize the time and effort that is put into the review of the budget by Members of Council. Mr. Weyandt explained that since Members of Council reviewed the budget line by line with staff and Council understood the expenditures, there was no need to argue the review of the budget on the floor.

Concurring, Mr. O'Connor stated that there were considerably more hours put into the final budget than what was realized by the public. He advised the public that the budget process began in October 1993 and that, since that time, several members of Council have reviewed the budget in-depth with staff.

Council President Christiansen declared the public hearing open.

Ms. Anne Gnaws, 265 Mifflin Road, commended staff for the preparation of the City's budget. She requested that the City provide citizens with the costs that are involved to maintain the power plant. It was her feeling that this would help citizens to determine if the City should maintain or sell the power plant.

Council President Christiansen declared the public hearing closed.

Council action on the first reading of the Electric Fund budgets will take place during the latter part of the meeting.

Currently there are two portions of the plan underway: 1) short-term traffic congested areas throughout the metropolitan planning area; and 2) a transit rationalization study which is the analyzation of the various bus services that run throughout the Dover area. Mr. DePrima stated that the MPO is attempting to create a plan that would consider the feelings and visions of the people of Dover and surrounding areas. The MPO is negotiating and considering choosing a consultant to perform a visioning process of the plan. The process will consist of holding various community meetings to determine the shape of Dover for the future. Mr. DePrima advised members that this is a long-range plan that is being completely funded by the State of Delaware. In order for the plan to be approved, the MPO must submit a recommendation. Although Council may make suggestions and will be reviewing the final recommendation, there are no City funds involved.

Responding to Mr. Weyandt, Mr. O'Connor advised members that in discussions with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), the Senior Surrey has not been funded in the State's budget. Mr. O'Connor stated that DelDOT is requesting additional transportation funding that would provide the City with a grant; however, there has been no further information regarding this. He has requested that DelDOT provide funding details by June 15, 1994. If the City does not obtain the necessary funding to continue the Senior Surrey, DelDOT agreed to provide alternative transportation.
