RESOLUTIONS
Storer Cable Television Franchise Agreement
Councilman Richter recognized Mr. Irving Levitt, a member of the Utility Committee and the sub-committee that held numerous meetings researching legislation that resulted in a revised Agreement between the City of Dover and Storer Cable Television.
Questioned by Mr. Witt, Mr. Levitt stated that Senate Bill #66 is still being considered by the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. Senate Bill #66 includes a provision that allows municipalities 5% of gross income but includes other provisions that have stirred opposition by the National League of Cities.
As a member of the Board of the National League of Cities, Mayor Carroll advised Council of a three day meeting in July where Senate Bill #66 will be one of the main topics for discussion.
Questioned by Mayor Carroll, Mr. Maloney of Storer Cable Television, stated that his firm is attempting to serve all areas of the City and have projected plans to accomplish this as soon as possible. Individual requests for cable service will be handled in the most efficient manner as deemed feasible.
By motion of Mr. Richter, seconded by Mr. Weyandt, Council by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman and Mr. Hardcastle absent) adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the City of Dover has requested changes in the Cable T.V. Franchise Agreement currently in effect with Storer Cable Communications; and
WHEREAS, a Subcommittee of the Utility Committee was selected to formulate said changes; and
WHEREAS, the City Solicitor has drafted an amendment to the Franchise Agreement in accordance with the desires of the City which has subsequently been signed by officials of Storer Cable Communications.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
1. That the Mayor and Council hereby authorize an amendment to the Franchise Agreement be entered into with Storer Cable Communications.
2. That the Mayor and Council authorizes the Mayor of the City of Dover to execute the amendment to the Franchise Agreement.
ADOPTED: June 27, 1983

SPECIAL PRESENTATION TO MAYOR CARROLL
Adding a moment of humor to the meeting, Councilman Richter presented Mayor Carroll a kelly green tie embroidered with the words “Tie-Breaking Vote”. The presentation made light of the fact that Mayor Carroll wishes to amend the Charter granting the Mayor a vote to break a tie of Council. The original Charter incorporated this provision.
ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 1983
The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of June 13, 1983 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Christiansen, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and bore the written approval of Mayor Carroll.
PUBLIC HEARING - DAVID HARMON PROPERTIES - APARTMENT ON SOUTH GOVERNORS AVENUE - BULK PLANT ON DIVISION AND WEST STREETS - PROPERTY ON WHITEOAK ROAD - VIOLATION OF THE DANGEROUS BUILDING ORDINANCE
In accordance with provisions of the Dangerous Building Ordinance, a public hearing was scheduled with proper notification to Mr. David Harmon to provide an opportunity for Mr. Harmon to explain why his properties located on South Governors Avenue, Division and West Streets, and a property on Whiteoak Road, have not been maintained to comply with the Building Code of the City of Dover.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing open.
Mr. David Harmon referred to a property located on the corner of Division and West Streets that formerly incorporated bulk storage tanks that have not been in use since the early 1970's. He informed Council that the bulk storage tanks have been removed during the last six months. The lot has been cleaned of vegetational growth and all pipes have been disconnected. A portion of the piping still remains and also the loading rack which should be removed by June 28, 1983.
Mr. Harmon stated that a storage shed is still on the site and he plans to remove this structure personally within the next thirty days. He, therefore, requested an additional thirty day period to complete cleanup.
Mr. Shevock asked Mr. Harmon if it were not true that past notification indicated that the lot cleanup was to be complete cleanup.
Mr. Roe informed Council that notification to remove the bulk storage tank facility dates back almost two years. Certified letters with return receipt requested from Mr. Harmon substantiates this fact. Proper notification has been issued for all three properties involved in the public hearing.
Mr. Roe advised Council of extensions granted to Mr. Harmon in order to initiate corrections for violations that exist on the properties in question. He requested that Council set a definite deadline directing Mr. Harmon to correct the violations of the City Code with a stipulation that he proceed with demolition, placing a lien on the properties.
Mayor Carroll and Councilman Shevock questioned Mr. Harmon, asking if he now has in hand signed contracts to correct the violations.
Mr. Harmon stated that the fire escape on a property located on South Governors Avenue has been completed and he has received estimates for painting the outside of the structure. Violations in the interior of the structure are now in progress.
Mr. Christiansen expressed his concern to the life threatening violations that exist in the building located on South Governors Avenue.
Mr. Tudor asked Mr. Harmon what time period would be involved to correct all violations on the three properties.
Mr. Harmon stated that the two properties that have no existing buildings could be complete within thirty days. He requested an additional sixty days to fully complete the apartment building on South Governors Avenue.
Mr. Shevock stated that the existing violations on all three properties have been referred to by Mr. Roe’s office for the past two years and suggested a period of ten days for corrections or proceed with demolition.
Mr. Weyandt pointed out that it is the responsibility of Council to insure the safety of all facilities within the corporate limits of the City.
There was no one else to speak for or against the matter and no correspondence.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing closed.
Questioned by Mr. Tudor, Mr. Roe stated that he did not feel that the suggestion of ten days for completion is unreasonable. In the past, any progress made by Mr. Harmon to correct the violations were completed only when his office applied pressure. He now has no alternative but to resolve the matter by action of Council.
Mr. Shevock moved that Mr. Harmon correct all violations on the three properties within ten (10) days. If the corrections are not completed, he directed that Mr. Roe’s office proceed to demolish any structures and/or correct other violations; said expense to the City to become a lien on the respective properties. The motion was seconded by Mr. Christiansen and carried by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent).

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT
The Utility Committee met on June 15, 1983 with Chairman Richter presiding.
Annexation Request - Julius Copes - Kenton Road - Between College and Walker Roads
The committee discussed a request for annexation by Julius Copes for a single portion of property located on the Kenton Road, between College Road and Walker Road, and recommended denial of the request with the stipulation that a larger portion of land on the west side of Kenton Road, beginning with the Zurkow subdivision north to the present City boundaries in the area opposite College Road, be considered. This was also in keeping with recommendations from the Planning Commission and City staff who noted that annexation of the single property would be spot annexation.
The committee also recommended that a brochure and letter be devised by the City Manager that would be mailed to property owners and residents in the area of a proposed annexation. It was also recommended that a meeting between City officials and the residents be held prior to consideration of annexation by the Council.
Mr. Richter moved that the City send out factual literature and hold a meeting with residents and property owners involved in the proposed Julius Copes annexation and also the annexation request of Robert J. Roswell to determine the interest of those involved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
Mayor Carroll stated that it would be appropriate if the City Manager would meet with groups or individuals to answer any questions they might have concerning annexation.
New One Man Refuse Truck
Mr. Bartolotta reported on the four weeks experience with the new side-loading solid waste collector that incorporates a one man crew and stated that the statistics look very good in terms of the new system. He requested that the committee consider the immediate purchase of a second truck. The cost of the second truck was negotiated during the purchase of the first unit with a purchase price established that would be firm until the first of July. The City Manager’s Office proposed reduction of at least four personnel with the operation of two one man side loaders.
As to questions presented by members of Council concerning the new refuse truck, the City Manager’s Office surveyed several cities throughout the country who were well pleased with the operation experience throughout several years.
Mr. Bartolotta advised Council that the City has modified the present truck now in operation to eliminate the spillage of refuse during compaction. He recommended the purchase of the second new unit.
Mr. Richter expressed some concern with the purchase of a second truck, noting that the cost figures that were submitted are hypothetical and do not reflect actual experience by the City of Dover.
Mr. Weyandt suggested test runs with the new vehicle, incorporating a two man operation versus the one man operation. This would place the equipment under a more severe test and provide an opportunity to observe mechanical failures.
Mr. Richter moved that the purchase of a new unit be delayed for three months to provide time for experience on some of the questions presented by members of Council, stipulating that the City Manager incorporate some of the suggested experiments such as a two man crew. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
Proposed Camden-Wyoming Well
Mr. Bartolotta stated that a hearing was held on an application by Camden-Wyoming for a 500,000 gallon per day allocation of water from existing aquifers. In the early part of the hearing, the request was changed from 500,000 gallons per day to one million gallons per day. Mr. Bartolotta objected to the new request since that was not the advertised purpose of the hearing. As a result, Camden-Wyoming withdrew their request and the hearing was adjourned.
Camden-Wyoming has reapplied for one million gallons per day and the City Manager has requested that he be notified as to the date and time of the hearing.
The City has applied for an additional 250,000 gallons per day and it was noted that this should be formally ratified by Council.
By motion of Mr. Witt, seconded by Mr. Shevock, Council adopted the following resolution by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent).
WHEREAS, the City of Dover was notified some two years ago by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control that no future allocations would be allowed from the Piney Point or Cheswold Aquifers, and
WHEREAS, the reason for this notification was that both Aquifers were over allocated, and
WHEREAS, the Camden-Wyoming Sewer and Water Authority have recently requested an additional 250,000 to 550,000 gallons per day allocation from these Aquifers, and
WHEREAS, the State has proposed a draft allocation granting this additional 250,000 gallons per day, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that since the State is contemplating an additional allocation that the City apply to the State for an additional 250,000 gallons per day allocation from the Piney Point/Cheswold Aquifers.
ADOPTED: June 27, 1983
Electric Service Complaint - Mrs. Kepfer - 55 Forest Creek Drive
Mr. Richter reported several meetings between staff and Mrs. Kepfer concerning a complaint filed against the City Electric Service Department. Steps are being taken administratively to correct certain procedures in that department.
By motion of Mr. Weyandt, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle, the Utility Committee Report was approved as submitted.
ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET - 1983/84 - CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING
By motion of Mr. Christiansen, seconded by Mr. Weyandt, the continuation of the public hearing on the proposed Electric Fund Budget for fiscal year 1983/84 was unanimously removed from the table.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing open.
There was no one present to speak for or against the proposed Electric Fund Budget for fiscal year 1983/84.
Mayor Carroll declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Richter moved for adoption of the Electric Fund Budget for fiscal year 1983/84, seconded by Mr. Shevock.
To further clarify the proposed budget for 1983/84, Mr. Witt stated that the kilowatt hour charge for the current year, assuming a constant average, is 8.42¢. In the coming fiscal year, the cost will be 10.3¢ per kilowatt hour, or roughly a 22% increase. A little over 12% of that increase is related to fuel. The remainder of the increase relates to the efficiency of production at McKee Run.
Mr. Weyandt pointed our that fiscal budget 1983/84 is in a more detailed format as mandated by Council than the budget for the previous fiscal year and therefore is difficult to compare. He suggested that the City Manager submit a monthly review of the budget to enable Council to determine how the cost and revenues compare with the various breakdowns as contained in the budget.
Mr. Tudor reiterated his opposition to the 22% increase in the budget as compared to last year’s fiscal budget.
By a roll call vote of five (5) yes, two no (Mr. Tudor and Mr. Witt) Council adopted the following ordinance:
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:

The amount hereinafter named aggregating Forty Nine Million, Five Hundred Ninety Four Thousand, Five Hundred and Ten Dollars (49,594,510) or so much thereof as may be necessary, are hereby appropriated from current revenues of the Electric Department, estimated from current revenues for Forty Nine Million, Five Hundred Ninety Four Thousand, Five Hundred and Ten Dollars ($49,594,510) for the use of the several divisions of the Electric Department and for the purpose hereinafter mentioned for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1983 and ending June 30, 1983, as follows:

COUNCIL WORKSHOP - ELECTRIC FUEL ADJUSTMENT
Mr. Richter advised Council of a workshop on the calculations of fuel adjustment with representatives from Delmarva Power and Light Company and Mr. Al Ward, Consultant, present. The meeting substantiated the fact that the City of Dover is using a standard procedure accepted by the industry to calculate fuel adjustments. The industry, each year, adjusts their base rates and also the fuel adjustment charge. The fuel adjustment charge is averaged throughout the year versus calculating the charge each month which results in a wide fluctuation certain seasons of the year. The fuel adjustment is calculated by consideration of the cost of fuel plus the cost to produce a kilowatt hour which considers the efficiency of the plant.
Mr. Bartolotta submitted a proposal that would stabilize the fuel adjustment charge throughout the year at a cost of .0188 per kilowatt hour. If the City does not adopt a stabilized fuel adjustment for fiscal year 1983/84, the fuel adjustment could fluctuate from a negative point up to approximately 4¢ per kilowatt hour during certain months. The stabilized fuel adjustment would generate the same amount of dollars but avoids the fluctuation from month to month. The stabilized fuel adjustment will be monitored from month to month and if an adjustment is necessary, Mr. Bartolotta will report to Council at the end of six months.
Mr. Witt moved for adoption of the clarified fuel adjustment formula, seconded by Mr. Richter and carried by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent).
Mr. Richter moved that the City Manager submit a monthly report on the fuel adjustment to include comparable figures from fiscal year 1982/83. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent).
HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM - CASES #23 AND #32 - APPROVAL OF BIDS EXCEEDING $10,000
Mr. Bartolotta advised Council that under the Housing Rehabilitation Program, cases #23 and #32 exceed the $10,000 limit placed by Council. These are the final two cases of the first program. Both cases are within acceptable margins. With the awarding of these two contracts, the average rehabilitation case will be under the $10,000 limit as stipulated in the initial program.
Mr. Bartolotta recommended that case #23, in the amount of $13,932.35 be awarded to New Life Builders.
Mr. Witt moved for approval of the recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and carried by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent).
Mr. Bartolotta recommended that case #32, in the amount of $11, 894.00, be awarded to Utopia Builders.
Mr. Witt moved for the recommendation of the City Manager, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent) the contract was awarded.
REZONING REQUEST - 9.09 ACRES ADJACENT TO ENGLISH VILLAGE - KENTON ROAD - GILPIN, VAN TRUMP AND MONTGOMERY, INC.
A request was received to rezone 9.09 acres of vacant land adjacent to English Village, on the Kenton Road, owned by Gilpin, Van Trump and Montgomery, Inc. The equitable owner is Frank Robino Associates.
Prior to amending the zoning ordinance and zoning map of the City of Dover, a public hearing is required.
By motion of Mr. Shevock, seconded by Mr. Witt, Council by unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Boaman absent) adopted the following resolution and referred the request to the Planning Commission:
A RESOLUTION SETTING FORTH TIME AND PLACE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP FOR THE CITY OF DOVE AND DIRECTING THAT NOTICE OF SAID HEARING BE PUBLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE DELAWARE CODE.
WHEREAS, certain lands located on the Kenton Road, 9.09 acres of vacant land adjacent to English Village, are presently zoned for RG-2 use, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to hold a public hearing prior to amending the zoning map and zoning ordinance of the City of Dover.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:
1. That a public hearing be held in City Hall on July 25, 1983 at 7:30 p.m. on a proposed amendment to the zoning map that would rezone from RG-2 to RG-3 that property located on the Kenton Road, 9.09 acres of vacant land adjacent to English Village, owned by Gilpin, Van Trump and Montgomery, Inc.
