Electric Revenue Fund, Budget Report for the Month of September
Mr. Witt questioned the 54% disbursement of the budget under “Production - Usage of Water” for cooling at the McKee Run Power Plant.
Mr. Hodge stated that a substantially lower figure had been budgeted under this category, anticipating that the eight shallow wells at McKee Run would be in operation. At the present time, only two of these wells are operable. Therefore, the General Fund is charging the Power Plant for the usage of water needed for the cooling towers. Calgon Corporation is now conducting a study on the six non-functioning wells at a cost of $2,500.
As a result of further questioning by Mr. Witt, Mr. Hodge stated that the original cost of drilling the eight wells was budgeted at $150,000. To date, approximately $340,000 has been expended.
The Electric Revenue Fund, Budget Report for the Month of September was approved by motion of Mr. Muir, seconded by Mr. Bewick.

PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING - MABEL GRIFFITH AND EUGENE & MARLENE AUEN - NEW BURTON ROAD
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located on New Burton, owned by Mabel Griffith and Eugene & Marlene Auen for the purpose of a brick supply yard. The equitable owner is Delaware Brick Company, Inc. Mayor Legates declared the hearing open.
Attorney Max Terry was present to explain the purpose of the rezoning and displayed drawings of the proposed showroom-sales office to be constructed by Delaware Brick Company. The brick storage yard will be screened by the building and shrubbery. A compliment of three employees will man the operation and deliveries will not be of such magnitude that will create a traffic hazard.
Mr. Terry stated that the property is conducive to this particular type of commercial operation and any suggestions by area residents that a bank or professional type establishment would be more suitable would not be feasible and in fact deny the owners use of the land if upheld.
Mr. Gene Auen was present, stating that approximately 80 letters of explanation have been circulated throughout the adjacent development of Sherwood. In addition, drawings of the proposed building have been circulated with residents of Sherwood who own property immediately adjacent to the land in question.
Questioned by Mr. Carson as to the operation creating dust, it was stated that the storage yard would be paved.
Mayor Legates declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Muir moved for approval of a C-3 zoning, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle. Relating that a C-3 zoning would be the highest use category of general business and the opposition of some residents in the area, Mr. McDonough stated that he would have to be opposed to the request.
By a roll call vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mr. McDonough) and one (1) not voting (Mr. Witt), the zoning request was approved and 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 THE LAND LOCATED ON NEW BURTON ROAD.

ADOPTED DECEMBER 11, 1978
PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING - DANIEL DURHAM - ROUTE #100
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider the rezoning of property located on Route #100, owned by Daniel Durham, for the purpose of expanding a bicycle repair shop. Mayor Legates declared the hearing open.
Mr. Daniel Durham, owner, was present to explain his desire to expand a bicycle repair shop to include a showroom. He stated that residents in the immediate area had no opposition to the rezoning.
Mr. Bernhard Greenfield was present to speak for the rezoning.
Mayor Legates declared the hearing closed.
Mr. McDonough referred to the Comprehensive Plan which specifies that the area should be maintained at a low density level. It was his feeling that this would be spot zoning and might be detrimental to the development of the area in the future.
Mr. Weyandt pointed out that Mr. Durham has resided in the area for 30 years and did not feel that the City should interfere with his livelihood.
Mr. Hardcastle moved for approval of the rezoning, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Mr. McDonough), 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 THE LAND LOCATED ON COUNTY ROAD #100.

Mr. Muir moved for approval of the report as submitted, seconded by Mr. Carey and unanimously carried.
LEGISLATIVE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
The Legislative and Finance Committee met on November 15, 1978 with Chairman Muir presiding.
Audit Book Store Ordinance
Expressing concern in the number of adult book stores within the City limits, the Committee recommended that the City Solicitor investigate the possibility of an ordinance that might control their location, especially in the immediate downtown area.
Mr. Muir moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. McDonough and unanimously carried.
Mr. Witt moved for approval of the Legislative and Committee Report as submitted, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT
The Safety Advisory Committee met on December 4, 1978 with Chairman Hardcastle presiding.
School Crossing Guards
As a matter of information to Council the Committee reported its inability to acquire the much needed assistance of the Capitol School District or Levy Court to supplement the City’s responsibility to maintain crossing guards at certain intersections throughout the City.
Mr. Witt moved to approve the Safety Advisory Committee Report as submitted, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS AND TREES COMMITTEE REPORT
The Parks, Playgrounds and Trees Committee met on December 4, 1978 with Chairman Hardcastle presiding.
Capitol Improvement Budget - Recreation Department
Mr. Knox presented to the Committee a proposed Capitol Improvement Program for fiscal year 1979-80, incorporating improvements in the various recreational facilities located in the City.
After reviewing each item on the proposed Capitol Improvement Program, the Committee recommended that the City Manager’s office consider these items for inclusion in the 1979-80 fiscal year budget.
Mr. Hardcastle stated that the Committee spent considerable time on this particular matter due to previous discussions in Council where it was the feeling of some members that perhaps the Parks and Recreation Committee did not receive proper consideration in allotting funds under the Five Year Capitol Improvement Program.
On a call for the question, Mr. Hardcastle’s motion pertaining to the Parks and Recreation Committee’s recommendation was unanimously carried.
By motion of Mr. Weyandt, seconded by Mr. Muir, the Parks, Playgrounds and Trees Committee Report was unanimously accepted as submitted.
UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT
The Utility Committee met on December 6, 1978 with Chairman Bewick presiding.
Capitol Park and Adjacent Area Annexation Proposal
Mr. Bewick referred to the Utility Committee report, indicating the various staff comments submitted by the office of the City Manager in consideration of a proposed annexation referendum for the Capitol Park Development and adjacent area.
It was the Committee’s recommendation that an annexation referendum be held for the entire area as submitted by the City Manager.
Since the date of the Committee meeting, Mr. Bewick reported several discussions pertaining to the proposed annexation and felt that it might be unfair to the citizens of Capitol Park to annex the area without a definite time set for the installation of sewer. In lieu of the Committee’s recommendation, Mr. Bewick suggested that the City Manager’s office check with the County to determine if sewer could be provided by them rather than a City installation, especially if it is possible that the project could be completed at an earlier date.
Mr. Bewick moved to defer action on the proposed annexation, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.
Trash Pick-up in Alley - Eastover Hills
The Committee next considered a request from Mr. Paul Scotton of Eastover Hills and other interested property owners to resume trash pick-up in an alley adjacent to their properties. Mr. Scotton also suggested that the City pave or maintain the alley in question.
It was noted by staff members that the alley is a deadend and not easily accessible for trash pick-up, thus the change in policy to collect from the front of the properties.
Deputy Solicitor Fletcher informed the Committee that the alley is not property of the City but the property of abutting owners or the original developer. It was his opinion that the City is under no obligation to improve same regardless of the fact that other alleys have been paved in the development for one of several reasons.
Noting that the City has collected from the alley in the past several years, it was the recommendation of the Committee that the City resume trash pick-up from the alley and continue any maintenance or service to the alley as was formerly established.
Mr. Bewick moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. McDonough.
Mr. Weyandt questioned the motion to resume trash service but not pave the alley. He did not feel that this would settle the issue since it was his opinion that the main desire of adjacent owners is to pave the alley for personal use.
Mr. McDonough stated that the recommendation of the Utility Committee was an attempt to separate two district problems. (1. To resume trash pick-up in the alley 2. Pave the alley) It was his opinion that the Committee acted properly since the City has no responsibility to pave.
Based on Mr. Weyandt’s statement, Mr. Bewick said that he was willing to modify the motion to specify paving of the alley. Modification of the motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt.
Mr. Witt stated that he thought Council was abandoning the policy-making area and getting into decision-making which is the prerogative of the City Manager to establish ways and means of directing trash pick-up. In addition, this would involve taxpayers money to pave private land.
If directed by Council to resume trash pick-up from the alley access, Mr. Hodge stated that it was his intention to direct the proper department to hand carry the trash without utilization of the alley by trash pick-up equipment.
Questioned by Mayor Legates, Mr. Bewick stated that it was his intention of amending his original to resume trash pick-up in the alley to include paving the alley.
Mayor Legates called for a roll call vote on the amendment to pave the alley.
The motion to pave the alley was carried by a vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Mr. McDonough, Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Witt).
On a vote to resume trash pick-up in the alley, the motion carried by a vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Witt).
Water Lines - Dover Brook Gardens
In researching the possibilities of furnishing water to the development of Dover Brook Gardens, Mr. Bewick explained that the Committee was informed of $494,000 of existing water bond funds. In the City’s projected plans for improvements on the water system, it was hoped that these funds could be used for an elevated storage tank. The Committee was informed that the aforementioned figure is not adequate to install an elevated water tank at the present cost of construction.
It was the Committee’s recommendation that an estimated cost of $120,000 be withdrawn from the water bond funds to extend water to Dover Brook Gardens.
Mr. Bewick moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Witt. By a unanimous roll call vote, Council approved the extension of water lines to Dover Brook Gardens.
Lights - Foot Bridge - Lebanon Road
The Committee discussed a request from Mr. Spencer of the Chamber of Commerce to install lighting on a stretch of abandoned road on the Lebanon Road, incorporating 4,255' including a foot bridge across the St. Jones River. The foot bridge in question is used almost exclusively by Dover Air Force Base personnel and is outside the corporate limits of the City.
After being informed by Mr. Schucker that the lights offered as a donation by the Chamber of Commerce are not standard and total cost of installation if the City furnished lights and labor would amount to $5,500, the Committee recommended that the Dover Air Force Base assume responsibility for installation and maintenance and the City aid in labor and equipment for installation.
Mr. Bewick moved for recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle.
Mr. Carson opposed the City’s involvement in the installation since the area is not a part of the corporate limits and suggested that the Chamber approach Levy Court on the matter.
Questioned by Mr. Weyandt, Mr. Schucker stated that the City’s aid in furnishing equipment and personnel would amount to approximately $500.
On a call for the question, Council approved the recommendation of the Committee by a vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Carson).
City of Dover Participation - Delaware Municipal Association
Mr. Hodge informed the Committee that the Delaware Municipal Association has engaged R.W. Beck to conduct a feasibility study for determining what type of joint action could be taken to secure more economical power for communities involved. The association’s decision to conduct such a study stemmed mostly from a recent rate increased levied by Delmarva Power and Light.
Mr. Schucker explained that the feasibility study would be most helpful to the City of Dover in deciding if Dover will build a new plant, join other municipalities in building a power plant, buying into a new proposed plant which Delmarva is presently planning or Dover and other municipalities join with out of state municipals and purchase a portion of a power plant located elsewhere.
The City’s portion of the feasibility study would cost $3,711 plus $200 for the City’s portion of incorporating the municipal association.
It was the Committee’s recommendation that the City grant $3,711 for their portion of the feasibility study and $200 for incorporating the Municipal Association.
Mr. Bewick moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Witt.
Mr. Weyandt opposed the City of Dover becoming involved in one of Delmarva’s future power plants and added that the $3,711 for the City’s part in the feasibility study would be a waste of money.
Mr. Bewick explained that the City’s participation in the feasibility does not mean joining other municipalities for any specific purpose. The study would assist in deciding what course of action to follow in meeting PJM requirements of production.
It was Mr. Witt’s opinion that the arguments against participating are being blown out of proportion when actually the City is benefitting from a $15,000 feasibility study at one-fifth the cost.
Relating to the arguments in discussions for and against joining the Delaware Municipal Association, Mr. Bewick stated that possibly it would be better to go back to full Council committee meetings. He added that the Utility Committee has spent three hours on the various subjects included in the report. It would seem that the committee’s opinion and recommendation is being disregarded if Council insists on hashing over the same details.
Mr. Hardcastle called for the question.
By a vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Weyandt), Council approved the recommendation of the Utility Committee.
City of Dover Thermovision Service
The City studied a proposal submitted by the City Manager to conduct thermographic inspection of heat loss on private electric homes. The tests would be performed by Asplundh Infrared Services at an average cost per home of $34.40 of which the City would pay $9.40 and the resident would pay $25.00.
It was the Committee’s recommendation to accept the proposal, and as an experimental approach, conduct the test only on electric heat homes. This involves 358 accounts at a nominal cost to the City of approximately $3,365 if all electric heat customers took advantage of the service.
Mr. Bewick moved for the recommendation of the Committee, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle.
Mr. Weyandt failed to see what benefits would be derived by the City. Mr. McDonough explained that this would be a step towards energy conservation which would be even more significant if the program is utilized by residents with heat other than electric.
By a vote of six (6) yes, two (2) (Mr. Weyandt and Mr. Carson) the recommendation of the Committee was approved.
By motion of Mr. Witt, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle, the Utility Committee Report was approved as submitted.
CONFIRMATION OF ROBBINS HOSE COMPANY OFFICERS

It was recommended that a special election be held on December 19, 1978 for the office of Third Assistant Chief.
Mr. Witt moved that a special election for the office of Third Assistant Chief be held on December 19, 1978, seconded by Mr. Bewick and unanimously carried.
Mayor Legates named Councilmen McDonough and Witt and City Clerk Willis as judges to officiate the special election.
By motion of Mr. Weyandt, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle, Council unanimously confirmed the appointment of judges.

Mr. Hardcastle related to the President’s address during the National League of Cities in St. Louis where he called on municipalities, large and small, to curtail any business transactions with companies who do not follow his guidelines to help fight inflation. He suggested that Council might want to instruct the City Manager accordingly.
Mr. Bewick moved to refer the matter to the Legislative and Finance Committee, seconded by Mr. Hardcastle and unanimously carried.
