My concern lies specifically with the drastic cuts that the budget adoption will place on the Parks and Recreation Department.

PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING - 131 & 139 NORTH STATE STREET - TRUSTEES OF THE PENINSULA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH, INC.

A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider rezoning 131 and 139 North State Street, owned by the Trustees of the Peninsula Annual Conference of the Methodist Church, Inc., for the purpose of constructing a new office building. Mayor McDonough declared the hearing open.

Mr. C. Edwin Lasbury of Easton, Maryland, representing the Peninsula Annual Conference of the Methodist Church, Inc., stated that a feasibility study has been conducted for the renovation of existing structures on the property, finding that it would not be appropriate or cost effective. Based on the aforementioned information, the Conference plans to construct a new building on the two lots.

Questioned by Mr. Weyandt, Mr. Lasbury informed Council that the feasibility would be used for Conference offices and would apply for tax exemption.

Referring to a preliminary sketch of the proposed building, Mr. Boaman did not feel that the design would blend with surrounding victorian residences in the area.

Mr. Lasbury stated that the Conference is attempting to build a facility that would blend with other college property in the area and also be a credit to existing residences.

Mr. Pat Ryan, affiliated with Diamond State Engineering, was present circulating revised sketches of the proposed Conference building. Mr. Ryan stated that the revised sketches are designed to blend with the Georgian architecture of the college facility.

Mrs. Nancy Gardner of 213 N. State Street, expressed concern of the traffic impact that could be generated by the office in utilizing the alley near her residence for parking.

Prompted by several questions on the appearance of the building, Mr. Roe cautioned those present that restrictions cannot be placed on the building design during a rezoning hearing. This will be considered by the Planning Commission during site approval.

Mayor McDonough read into the record the following correspondence:

1.  A letter from Mr. Michael Harrington who owns property at 107 N. State Street, 201 N. State Street and 205 N. State Street. Mr. Harrington felt that this area of State Street is a historical area, opposing the construction of an office building.

2.  A letter from Mrs. Anna R. Warren of 138 N. American Avenue, who is in favor of the rezoning, expressed an opinion that the new facility would enhance the adjoining properties.

3.  A letter from Mr. Joseph S. McDaniel III of 129 N. State Street, voicing his approval of the office building.

Mr. Hal Wilkins of 223 Oakmont Drive, Council Director for the Peninsula Conference, felt that the office facility would be an asset to Dover in that the people now working for the Conference would continue to work and contribute economically to the City. Mr. Wilkins stated that Wesley has spent millions of dollars in the City of Dover and continues to spend, contributing to the well-being of the community. He emphasized that it was the Conference’s wish to build a facility appropriate for their own use and the surrounding area.

Mayor McDonough declared the hearing closed.

Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the rezoning, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and by a unanimous roll call vote, Council adopted the following ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF DOVER BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 131 & 139 NORTH STATE STREET.

LETTER - THELMA LEWIS - 580 NORTH DUPONT HIGHWAY - 1980/81 REVISED BUDGET

Mr. Boaman presented a letter from Mrs. Thelma Lewis of 580 North DuPont Highway, outlining suggestions that would offset proposed cuts in the Park and Recreation budget.

Mr. Boaman moved that the contents of the letter be referred to the Legislative and Finance Committee, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and unanimously carried.

PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAMS - REMARKS BY MICHAEL MALKIEWICZ

Mr. Michael Malkiewicz of 350 N. Bradford Street was present to oppose and speak to the facts surrounding the proposed cuts in the Parks and Recreation programming budget. He intimated that members of Council did not realize the impact of their vote at a former meeting, approving the reduction in funds to the Recreation Department. It was his opinion that a complete cost analysis should have been conducted before consideration of the matter.

During his presentation, Mr. Malkiewicz presented cost factors on several of the more popular recreational programs, emphasizing minimal expenditures for programs that receive wide-spread participation in the community. Referring to a reduction in recreational funds that would close City playgrounds for a period of time, he advised Council that this would idle hundred of children resulting in undesirable activities that would plague the citizens and the Police Department.

Mr. Malkiewicz stated that providing recreation is a basic responsibility of any City. He suggested that Council’s attempts to reduce the budget deficit should fall equally on all departments.

Reminding Council of the citizen participation in the public meeting held on March 20th, where opposition to drastic cuts in the Recreational budget was displayed, Mr. Malkiewicz felt that Council should be aware of the public’s views and not let their personal opinions guide them during formal Council action.

Mr. Weyandt informed Mr. Malkiewicz that Council’s action to cut the Recreation budget was predicated on facts compiled and discussed by the Legislative and Finance Committee through many meetings of that body. He suggested that Mr. Malkiewicz review these facts to further understand why a majority of Council would vote to cut funds in such a sensitive area.

PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS AND TREES COMMITTEE REPORT - REVISED RECREATIONAL BUDGET

Mr. Hardcastle presented an oral report on the results of approximately 25 speakers during a special meeting held on March 20th in the Council Chambers to hear public reaction on the budget cuts of the Recreation Department. Approximately 23 of the 25 speakers attending the meeting were in favor of continuing the various programs that would be dropped as a result of the budget cuts.

Mr. Boaman referred to the Mayor’s veto of a motion by Council to accept the revised budget as submitted; said budget including cuts in the Recreational Department’s programming. He moved that the Recreation Department’s budget be referred back to the Legislative and Finance Committee for further review. The motion failed for lack of a second.

Mr. Weyandt stated that any attempt by Council to reinstate the funds in the Recreation Department would only result in cuts in other departments. Council would then be faced with additional public meetings attended by citizens objecting to cuts in other areas in the budget. This would only further delay the adoption of the revised budget for 1980/81.

Mr. Weyandt moved that the revised budget for 1980/81 be approved, stipulating that funds in the Recreation Department for programming be reinstated. The motion failed for lack of a second.

Mr. Boaman moved to refer the entire 1980/81 revised budget back to the Legislative and Finance Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Richter and carried by a vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Weyandt), with Mr. Bewick being absent.

UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT

The Utility Committee met on March 18,1981 at 7:30 p.m. with Chairman Bewick.

Storer Communications - Initiation of 3¢ Per Month Charge

Mr. Weyandt informed Council that the committee discussed the 3¢ per month charge arbitrarily levied by Storer Communications to the consumer without approval of Council. Mr. Dick Clark, District Manager, and Mr. Bill Malone, Assistant Manager of Storer, were present to request that the company not be forced to implement a refund procedure to the consumer. Mr. Clark advised the committee that this would not only be time consuming, but the cost to implement a refund would far exceed the total amount of overcharge.

Mr. Levitt emphasized the importance of Storer Communications approving a preliminary investigation of the company’s accounts to verify the total amount of overcharge.

After a thorough discussion on all aspects of the matter, Mr. Levitt moved to recommend that the relief sought by Storer Communications in terms of a retroactive reimbursement to consumers be dropped, stipulating that the City be allowed to examine the company’s books for the purpose of procuring a general idea of the total overcharge. The recommendation was unanimously approved by the committee.

Mr. Weyandt moved for approval of the recommendation, seconded by Mr. Witt and unanimously carried.

As a matter of record, Mr. Weyandt informed Council that the total refund would amount to approximately $1,000 compared to a total cost to Storer of $3,000 to $5,000 to initiate the reimbursement.

Trash Pickup Fee

A discussion initiating a trash pickup fee was thoroughly reviewed, resulting in an opinion from Mr. Richter that a trash pickup fee would seriously alter the willingness of citizens to separate solid waste for the purpose of recycling.

Mr. Mogan also emphasized the importance of adopting an ordinance that would mandate the recycling of solid waste.

Mr. Bewick suggested that procedures for collections first be established. Secondly, the aid of a cost saving report obtain public reaction to a one day pickup. He added that the dumping fee paid to the County should be considered as a factor.

The committee recommended that an ordinance be drafted mandating recycling and any future consideration of the matter incorporate an interim procedure for a one day per week pickup, including its effect on cost. The recommendation stipulated analyzation of the Solid Waste Authority fee and suggested a withdrawal of the proposed trash pickup fee.

Mr. Hardcastle stated his opposition to drafting an ordinance mandating recycling prior to formulating plans for separation of solid waste by citizens. He noted that this has been experimented with in the City and the results were negative.

Mr. Weyandt stated the purpose of formulating an ordinance mandating recycling prior to formulating plans for separation of solid waste by citizens. He noted that this has been experimented with in the City and the results were negative.

Mr. Weyandt stated the purpose of formulating an ordinance is to initiate an instrument for further committee discussions.

A vote on the recommendation of the committee was unanimously approved.

Mr. Weyandt moved for the recommendation of the committee, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and unanimously carried.
