LEGISLATIVE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Legislative and Finance Committee met on June 10, 1980 with Chairman Witt presiding.

Business Licenses Fees - Riverside Trailer Park & Dover Jewelry & Broker, Inc.

The Committee discussed the request submitted by Mr. & Mrs. Dale Sipple of Riverside Trailer Park who complained that their annual business license fee had increased from $2.00 to $5.00 per trailer or 150%. The revised fees were based on a 1978 State of Delaware Code that stipulates $7.00 per space for a trailer park.

The Committee learned that a trailer park is designated as a facility for recreational type trailers where space is provided for a short period of time. As stipulated in the State Code a mobile home park provides for permanent installation for which the owner is assessed a $50.00 per year charge.

Feeling that there was an inequity in the revised business license fee of this category, the Committee recommended the license fee for a mobile home park be set at $2.50 per space which would amount to an increase of 25%. This would be effective for the 1980/81 billing.

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

The Committee emphasized that all other licenses fees will remain as approved by Council unless an inequity such as the case of mobile home fees is brought to their attention. The Committee will also further review all license fees and will consider also a complaint by Dover Jewelry and Broker, Inc.

Auditor - 1979/80 Fiscal Audit

Mr. Witt stated that the Committee recommended the appointment of Manter, Lafferty & Mitten, CPA’s to perform the 1979/1980 fiscal audit.

Mr. Witt moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Boaman and unanimously carried.

Pop Warner Football - $500 Donation Request

In considering a request by the Pop Warner Football League for a $500 donation, Chairman Witt stated that the Committee recommended denial considering the tight budget, stipulating that regrets be forwarded to the League.

Mr. Witt moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and carried by a vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Carson).

Proposed Ordinance - Precious Metals

In consideration of the Committee’s recommendation, Mr. Witt moved that a public hearing be held on July 28, 1980 at 7:45 p.m. to consider an ordinance that would place certain stipulations on the sale of precious metals. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.

City Wage Tax

It was noted by the Committee that an amendment to Chapter 9, Title 22, Section 901 of the State of Delaware Code would be necessary to initiate a wage tax for the City of Dover; specifically, it would be necessary to amend this chapter reducing the required population from 50,000 down to approximately 25,000, a provisions necessary for a wage tax that would be levied by the City of Dover.

Mr. Mogan informed the Committee that talk of a wage tax is deterring his efforts on other matters at Legislative Hall.

The Committee recommended the question of a wage tax be submitted to Council for their approval or disapproval. If Council disapproves the wage tax, the matter would be dropped, if approved the Legislative and Finance Committee would proceed with the proper steps to enable the General Assembly to consider lowering the stipulated population.

Mr. Witt moved to disapprove any further consideration of a wage tax, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle. Mr. Weyandt stated that Council should keep in mind that the budget increases on an average of 250,000 annually due to inflation and normal step increases of employees salaries; it is therefore important that every source of revenue be fully investigated. He emphasized that steps to amend Chapter 9, Title 22, Section 901 of the State of Delaware Code would open the door to impose such a tax if necessary.

It was Mr. Bewick’s feeling that there would be no chance at all of the General Assembly passing such an amendment during this session of legislature, therefore, a vote to defer any action on the matter would not necessarily deter further discussion for possible introduction to the next general assembly session of January 1981.

It was Mr. Witt’s feeling that talk of a wage tax for the City of Dover will hurt the future economic growth of the area and affect decisions of local industry to expand.

Mr. Boaman stated that he personally would not be in favor of a wage tax but thought that Mr. Witt’s motion would reveal the feelings of Council to either drop the matter or continue with further investigation. Mr. Boaman called for the question.

By a vote of five (5) yes, two (2) no (Mr. Weyandt and Mr. Carson) the motion to disapprove any further consideration of a wage tax was approved.

Parking Authority - Tax Exemption Request - Pierce Building - Loockerman Street

Mr. Witt informed Council that the committee recommended denial of the request by the Parking Authority for a tax exempt status on the Old Pierce Building located on Loockerman Street for fiscal year 1980/81. This was recommended, feeling that Council would be creating a precedent since tax appeals by Charter are held in the month of April.

Mr. Witt moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Carey.

Mr. Bewick moved to amend the motion to read that the request is denied as a special exemption, however, all city owned property or property owned by its authorities be automatically exempted upon acquisition and retroactive to the acquisition of this particular property. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Boaman.

Questioned by Mayor McDonough, City Assessor Hayes stated that it would be much simpler for Council to move that the Dover Parking Authority shall be tax exempt and not liable for the tax bill issued May 1, 1980.

Mr. Witt withdrew his motion as did the seconder and Mr. Bewick withdrew his amendment as did the seconder.

Mr. Bewick moved that the Dover Parking Authority shall be tax exempt and not liable for the tax bill issued May 1, 1980. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.

Kent General Hospital Meeting - Paramedic Level of Service

Mr. Witt informed Council that the Legislative and Finance Committee along with the City Manager met with hospital authorities on June 20th in regard to the paramedic program. A solution to the matter has not been arrived at to date, however, the hospital board is expected to meet on June 23rd to discuss certain proposals submitted by the Legislative and Finance Committee.

The Legislative and Finance Committee also has plans to meet with members of Levy Court to discuss the ambulance service.

Mr. Weyandt moved for acceptance of the Legislative and Finance Committee Report as submitted, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and unanimously carried.

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL FUND BUDGET - FISCAL YEAR 1980/1981 INCORPORATING REVENUE SHARING REQUESTS, INTERGOVERNMENTAL SERVICE FUND BUDGET, THE CAPITAL BUDGET, THE WATER AND SEWER BUDGET, MUNICIPAL STREET AID BUDGET AND REVISED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1979/1980

A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider adoption of the General und Budget for the fiscal year 1980/81 which will include revenue sharing requests, the intergovernmental service fund budget, the capital budget, the water and sewer budget, the municipal street aid budget and revised budget for fiscal year 1979/80.

Mayor McDonough declared the hearing open.

Mr. Witt noted that $22,910 in the Police Budget originally earmarked for crossing guards has been reduced to $10,000. The $10,000 will be placed in a special fund for crossing guards. This will reduce the Police Budget by $12,910.

The City Assessor’s budget will remain at $63,440 and the City Clerk’s/Treasurer budget will remain at $47,140. Mr. Witt emphasized that Council’s adoption of the budget will signify approval of the aforementioned budget items.

Dr. Goate’, Acting Superintendent of the Capital School District, was present to inquire into any developments concerning the City’s position on crossing guards for the coming school year and a request to the highway department for traffic lights at Pear Street and Walker Road and South State and Hope Streets.

Mr. Witt informed Dr. Goate’ that the Legislative and Finance Committee recommended that the City subsidize the School District in the amount of $10,000 for the year 1980/81, $5,000 for the year 1981/82, and abandon the program at that point. The Committee also recommended that the City of Dover join Capital School District and Holy Cross in requesting that the State install traffic signals at Walker Road and Pear Street and South State Street in the vicinity of Holy Cross. They further recommended that the City Manager be authorized to go on record with the Highway Department endorsing the installation of traffic signals at the aforementioned locations stipulating that the City will furnish the electric and maintain the units.

The Committee emphasized to everyone present that the City of Dover would not subsidize absent crossing guards with uniform police during the phasing out procedure, however, the City would assist in training new crossing guards.

Mayor McDonough informed Dr. Goate’ of the necessity of adopting the budget for fiscal year 1980/81, however, he stated the budget is not etched in stone and was assured by the Mayor and Councilman Weyandt that the City would do everything in their power to assist the school district during the transition.

Mr. Bewick asked if there was anything in the budget that would reflect a sewer and water rate increase. Mr. Mogan stated that there was not.

Based on comments during the Legislative and Finance Committee Budget Workshops, Mr. Bewick asked if it is true that all positions not currently filled in the City will not be filled until January 1, 1981 depending on availability of funds.

Mr. Mogan stated that this was correct.

Referring again to budget workshops, Mr. Bewick asked if funds for the Atlanta Convention of the League of Local Governments is still a part of the budget.

Mr. Mogan answered affirmative.

Mr. Hardcastle asked if 100% of revenue sharing is earmarked for the General Fund.

Mr. Mogan said that this is a correct statement.

Mr. Hardcastle expressed a desire to support the budget but did not agree with allocating all revenue sharing to the General Fund since he is a strong believer in distributing a portion of these funds to local organizations.

Mr. Weyandt asked if the Electric Budget included a proposed rate increase.

The City Manager stated that the budget was developed based on a proposed rate increase. If the rate increase is not approved it will be necessary to adjust the budget accordingly.

Mayor McDonough declared the hearing closed.

Mr. Witt moved for adoption of the General Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 1980/81 which incorporates revenue sharing requests, the Intergovernmental Service Fund Budget, the Capital Budget, the Water and Sewer Budget, the Municipal Street Aid Budget and revised Budget for Fiscal Year 1979/80. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carey.

Mr. Bewick moved to amend the motion stipulating that the proposed travel expense item of Mayor and Council be revised not to include the 1980 Convention of the Local League of Governments in Atlanta, Georgia; the existing level of employees in all Departments be held and all present vacancies and up-coming vacancies must remain vacant until a justification by each individual vacant position is developed by the City Manager, Police Chief, other Council appointees and approved by the Legislative and Finance Committee and Council. The motion to amend was seconded by Mr. Weyandt.

Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Boaman objected to the portion of Mr. Bewick’s motion that stipulated a revision in the Mayor and Council budget that would exclude traveling to the 1980 Annual League of Local Governments Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.

Mr. Bewick agreed for a separate vote on this particular matter.

Mr. Witt called for the question.

Mr. Bewick objected stating that it would take a two-thirds vote to cut off debate by a call for the question.

Mr. Boaman seconded Mr. Witt’s call for the question and the call was defeated by a majority vote.

Mr. Witt stated his opinion that a City Manager/Council type of government provides that the City Manager runs the City within certain guidelines. If these guidelines are not followed then the Council may intercede.

It was his feeling that Mr. Bewick’s motion places Council beyond the policy making area into the administrative field.

Mr. Bewick disagreed; stating that his motion is setting a policy for the City Manager protecting the available funds of the City.

By a vote of three (3) yes (Bewick, Weyandt, Carson), four (4) no, Mr. Bewick’s motion to delete funds from the Mayor/Council budget that would provide travel to the Annual Convention of the Local League of Governments in Atlanta, Georgia was defeated.

Mr. Bewick restated his motion concerning vacancies not being filled which was seconded by Mr. Weyandt.

Mr. Hardcastle reminded Mr. Bewick of the recommendation derived from the budget workshops that stipulated that this provisions would be affective until January 1, 1981.

Mr. Bewick agreed to amend his motion incorporating the effective date of January 1, 1981 which was agreed upon by the seconder, Mr. Weyandt.

Mr. Witt disagreed with a portion of the motion that would allow the City Manager to fire an employee but could not hire a replacement.

By a vote of four (4) yes, three (3) no (Mr. Carey, Mr. Witt and Mr. Carson) the motion was carried.

Mr. Witt moved for adoption of the General Fund Budget as amended, seconded by Mr. Weyandt. By a vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Hardcastle) Council adopted the following ordinance:

Police Salaries and Number of Personnel

Mr. Weyandt moved to remove from the table the question of police salaries and number of personnel (item tabled regular Council Meeting of May 12th). Motion was seconded by Mr. Witt and unanimously carried.

Mr. Weyandt moved to accept the number of personnel and police salaries as outlined in the General Fund Budget for fiscal year 1980/81. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bewick.

Questioned by Mr. Witt, Chief Klenoski stated that the present authorized strength of the Police Department is 56, presently there are 54 employees.

On a call for the question the Police Salaries and Number of Personnel was unanimously approved.

PUBLIC HEARING - ELECTRIC FUND BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 1980/81 AND REVISED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1979/80

A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider adoption of the Electric Fund Budget for fiscal year 1980/81 and the revised budget for fiscal year 1979/80.

Mayor McDonough declared the hearing open.

Mrs. Pamela Malkin of Lakeclub Apartments requested a clarification on the question of whether the Electric Department is starting to support the City.

 

Mr. Mogan answered in the negative explaining that the taxpayers of the City should realize some kind of return on their investment. The philosophy in the City is not to run the electric department for the City operation but instead it’s to be run for the consumers.

Mrs. Malkin stated that she had a personal concern and that she reads into the budget that there are some cuts being made whereas the Power Plant and the consumers are suffering. She mentioned specifically lines not being repaired and certain personnel in the electric department prohibited from taking their trucks home which slows down the repair process.

Questioned by Mrs. Malkin, Mr. Mogan stated that no electric rate increases were incorporated in the budget.

Mrs. Malkin was concerned that in paying her electric bill certain amounts of these funds were being used for other services.

Mayor McDonough explained that certain amounts are transferred from the electric fund to the general fund for regular operating costs of the City.

Mr. Tom Miles, of 267 Kesselring Avenue, expressed concern that a typical City of Dover electric bill for the commercial establishment where he is employed exceeds the rates of Delmarva Power and Light for the same kilowatt hour consumption. He intimated that outlined districts not within the City of Dover limits are being penalized due to the contribution of the electric fund to the general fund.

In retrospect, Mr. Mogan stated that the City of Dover, since 1902, has furnished economical electric service to the citizens of the City of Dover, however, the City is now locked into the escalating costs of fuel oil that also reflects on the cost of gasoline and home heating oil until the dilemma of this major energy source is solved. The City of Dover and the citizens are required to bite-the-bullet. Other energy sources are being investigated for any proposed expansion of our present power source.

Mayor McDonough declared the hearing closed.

Mr. Boaman moved to approve the Electric Fund Budget for fiscal year 1980/81 and the revised Electric Fund Budget for 1979/80 as submitted, the motion was seconded by Mr. Hardcastle.

Mr. Bewick moved to amend the motion to read that expenditures of allocations will not include any increase in electric rates until the Utility Committee completes its review with recommendations to Council and appropriate public hearings held. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and unanimously carried.

Mr. Boaman’s motion to approve the Electric Fund Budget as amended was unanimously carried and Council adopted the following ordinance:

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOVER, IN COUNCIL MET:

1. The amount hereinafter named aggregating Thirty Six Million, Nine Hundred and Thirty Nine Thousand, One Hundred and Ninety Dollars ($36,939,190) or so much thereof as may be necessary, are hereby appropriated from current revenues of the Electric Department, estimated from current revenues for Thirty Seven Million, One Hundred Ninety Eight Thousand Dollars ($37,198,000) for the use of the several divisions of the Electric Department and for the purpose hereinafter mentioned for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1980 and ending June 30, 1981, as follows:
