MAYOR’S ANNUAL ADDRESS
Mayor Legates spoke to the subject of the many federal grant programs that are in jeopardy of elimination and urged Council, in concert with the City Manager and Finance Director, to explore methods of counteracting this anticipated income and eliminating the necessity of a tax raise of large proportions. He suggested consideration of a two to five cent tax increase, accompanied by a minor sewer-water increase, making the water department self-sustaining.
He added that a select committee of Council should approach the General Assembly for an appropriation in lieu of taxes to help supplement the City services rendered to state buildings and colleges located in Dover.
Outlining several attention areas that should be watched during these inflationary times, Mayor Legates suggested that departmental expansions be halted and an absolute hiring freeze take place. Further, the Recreation Department should investigate methods of continuing programs with Kent County. The County should be asked to increase their participation in the cost of out recreation programs because of the use rate of all residences that are Kent County people. Lastly, the City should not consider any expansion efforts that would cause a requirement of an issue of general obligation bonds.
In closing, Mayor Legates recognized the many remarkable efforts and accomplishments of Mr. William T. James, former City Manager and thanked Mr. Hodge for his dedication in his efforts to fill this void.

Evaluation Method - Edward Richardson - Phase III - Sewer Rehabilitation Project
As a result of questions by Mr. Weyandt relating to the evaluation methods used in selecting Edward H. Richardson Associates as consultants for Phase III Sewer Rehabilitation Project, Mr. Woods informed the Committee that the firm was selected through a process of elimination, after proper advertisement, in their order of qualifications and in accordance with state law.
Questioned by Mr. Weyandt, Mr. Woods stated that the overall cost for the construction phase of the project is estimated to be $174,345. Richardson’s charge of $44,800 will cover engineering, consultant fees, with the profits not to exceed $4,700. It was the recommendation of the Committee that Edward H. Richardson Associates be selected as a consultant engineer for phase III of the Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
Mr. Witt moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Muir and unanimously carried.
Delaware Teleservice - Franchise Agreement or Ordinance
The Committee discussed a Delaware Teleservice Franchise Agreement vs. the adoption of an ordinance. Mr. Levitt presented a sample franchise agreement that would clarify methods of initiating rate increases, extensions of franchise time periods and home box offices.
Chief Spence agreed that a franchise agreement would suffice in the same manner as an ordinance if it incorporated guidelines of the State Code and other stipulations as outlined in the ordinance.
Mr. Levitt suggested changing the language of the agreement to specify what the City would like to have in relationship with Delaware Teleservice. The proposed agreement, as presented by Mr. Levitt, contains the major items that are necessary to adjudicate complaints, assure income to the City and supply adequate service to the public. After thoroughly discussing the matter, the committee recommended that the question of an ordinance to regulate cable television be removed from the Council table and disapproved for adoption.
Mr. Witt moved to remove from the table the question of an ordinance to regulate cable television, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
Mr. Witt moved to disapprove the adoption of an ordinance to regulate cable television, seconded by Mr. Weyandt.
Questioned as to the advisability of an agreement versus the proposed ordinance, Mr. Rodriguez concurred that an agreement would suffice, provided that it included the terms and provisions contained in State law.
A discussion followed on the intention of Mr. Bewick’s motion that extended the present franchise agreement to fifteen (15) years. It was the general opinion of Council that the motion related only to the extension of the agreement and did not alter any of the existing terms.
Mr. Bewick’s statement that certain changes or additions to the franchise agreement are being considered, did not imply any stipulations in granting an extension. The extension was approved as a jurisdiction for Delaware Teleservice to order necessary equipment for home box office programs.
Mr. Muir called for the question relating to the motion to disapprove the adoption of an ordinance.
By a voice call vote, the motion was unanimously carried.
Referring to the Utility Committee minutes of January 29, 1979, Mayor Legates inquired as to the status of an informal workshop meeting, to include the City Manager, the City Solicitor and Delaware Teleservice and members of Council, who wish to attend, for the purpose of reviewing some of the questions presented on the agreement.
Mr. Faucette stated that Delaware Teleservice had written a letter to Mr. Bewick and to date no answer has been received.
Responsibility of Improvement - Girl Scout Lane
The committee discussed a question initiated by a property owner on Girl Scout Lane as to the City’s responsibility of improving the street. Mr. Hodge referred to a letter from Mr. Rodriguez, dated December 13, 1978, where it was stated that the street was deeded and recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Kent County to the City of Dover but was never dedicated. It was his opinion that the property owners retains ingress and egress from their property by the way of Girl Scout Lane, but the City holds no responsibility for paving or construction to open the street as a public roadway.
It was the Committee’s recommendation that Council concur with the opinion of the Solicitor.
Mr. Muir moved for the recommendation of the committee, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
