REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
The Regular Council Meeting was held on August 14, 1995 with Council President Christiansen presiding. Council members present were Mr. Lambert, Mr. Tudor, Mr. Leary, Mr. Pitts, Mrs. Malone, Mr. Fenimore and Mr. Hare. Mr. Salters was absent.
Council staff members present were Chief Smith, Mr. Lucas, Mr. O'Connor, Mr. DePrima, Chief Baker, Mrs. Boaman and Mr. Rodriguez.
OPEN FORUM
The Open Forum was held at 7:15 p.m., prior to commencement of the Official Council Meeting. Council President Christiansen declared the open forum in session and reminded those present that Council is not in official session and cannot take formal action.
Mr. Robert Smith of 702 Forest Street addressed City Council relative to building code violations at the building where he maintains a vehicle repair shop. Mr. Smith relayed that numerous building code violations have been noted by the City’s Inspections Department. Unfortunately, the tenants that are now in the building are being forced to vacate. Mr. Smith felt that the City should have ben aware of the violations well before some of the tenants moved to the building. He stated that had he known of all the problems, he would not have established his business at this location. However, he has now established his business and felt it unfair that he will have to relocate. Mr. Smith reminded members of Council that this building is located in a part of town where few business owners would locate their business. He stated that the City should work very hard to keep business in this part of Dover.
Mr. Smith stated that the owner of the building is billed for the electric and then he, in turn, bills tenants for a proportionate amount of the bill. The system, however, is inequitable because there is no way for the owner to know how much electric each tenant had used. Mr. Smith stated that he had found that there are many laws that protect tenants in residential housing, but there is very little protection available for commercial tenants. He suggested that members of Council take appropriate actions to ensure that properties are inspected often enough to alleviate the possibility of major code violations and that legislation be approved to protect commercial tenants.
The invocation was given by Deacon Vincent Vinciguerra, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mr. Leary requested the addition of item #5C to discuss the bid award for the Police Station addition and renovation. Mrs. Malone moved for approval of the agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried.
ADOPTION OF MINUTES - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF *, 1995
The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of July 24, 1995 were unanimously approved by motion of Mr. Hare, seconded by Mrs. Malone and bore the written approval of Mayor Hutchison.
PRESENTATION - LUTHER TOWERS
Luther Towers is exempt from paying City of Dover property taxes. It is their desire, however, to participate in the costs associated with their facility. Since 1989, they have voluntarily contributed to the City a payment in lieu of taxes with the initial payment being $5,000. Since then, it has consistently grown, with this year’s contribution being $18,000. Over the entire period, their total contributions have amounted to $78,500. Mayor Hutchison acknowledged that the generosity and good citizenship of Luther Towers is greatly appreciated and it is hoped that it will serve as an example of community commitment for other tax exempt organizations to follow.
In recognition of the City’s appreciation, Mayor Hutchison presented Luther Towers with a plaque containing the City Seal and expressing the appreciation of the Mayor and City Council. Mayor Hutchison reminded the public that the City of Dover and its citizens are fortunate to have such an exemplary facility, dedicated to the care of senior citizens, located within out City. The plaque was accepted on behalf of Luther Towers by Mr. Arthur Ellisen, Executive Director, and Reverend Raymond Best, Chairman of the Board. Reverend Best stated their appreciation for the wonderful services they receive from the City of Dover and although they cannot pay as much as they would like, they will continue to pay as much as they can afford in order to share in the costs associated with City services.
PROCLAMATION - 60TH ANNIVERSARY - SOCIAL SECURITY
The City Clerk read into the record the following Proclamation:
WHEREAS, on August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in order to provide “...some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against the loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age”; and
WHEREAS, although the original program was to provide old-age insurance benefits only, for the past sixty years, Social Security has evolved into a base of economic security for young and old alike and now keeps approximately 12 million elderly people out of poverty; and
WHEREAS, there are nearly 43 million people that receive monthly benefits, with 12.4 million being children, spouses, widows, and widowers who receive benefits because a worker in their family became disabled or died and 4 million being disabled workers; and
WHEREAS, Social Security is an integral part of American life, is an essential element of the nation’s economic well-being, addresses the uncertainties brought about by death, disability, and old age and continues to fulfill its historic commitment to serving the American people in a caring, effective way.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JAMES L. HUTCHISON, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE do hereby proclaim the week of August 14, 1995 as SOCIAL SECURITY WEEK in the City of Dover and urge all citizens to recognize the economic impact of Social Security benefits and its significance to us all.
The Proclamation was accepted by Mr. Thomas Tobin, of the Department of Health and Human Services. Mr. Tobin relayed appreciation for the Proclamation. He stated that they have had a full service office in Dover since 1958 and are paying benefits to more than 16,000 people in Kent County at an approximate average of $9.5 million per month. Mr. Tobin paid special tribute to former Mayor, Crawford Carroll, who has been instrumental over the years in keeping the Social Security office in the City of Dover.
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF 106 SOUTH NEW STREET
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building ordinance at 106 South New Street. The Building Inspector, Mr. DePrima, stated that the property is a two story frame, single family home that has been determined to be unsafe. The owner of the property was temporarily placed at Life Care at Loffland Park Nursing Care Facility. Her relatives initially moved into the home and while making some repairs, a child was identified as suffering from lead toxicity, stemming from exterior lead paint. The relatives moved from the house and it has remained vacant since. Mr. DePrima showed slides depicting the structural deterioration of the house, but explained that the property is not beyond repair. The estimated costs for demolition are $6,500 which would be placed as a lien against the property. The owner plans to be discharged from the nursing home very soon. Mr. DePrima is working with the family and interested neighborhood volunteers in an attempt to have the building renovated. There is a possibility that funds from the City’s grant programs can be used for renovations.
Mr. DePrima requested that Council move forward with authorization for demolition in the event his efforts are not successful. He will work diligently with the owners in an attempt to avoid demolition of the property but explained that Council’s authority for demolition is requested only to save time if the property is not brought up to standards.
Mr. Fenimore questioned the need for authorization to demolish the structure if it is felt that the property can be brought up to City standards. Mr. DePrima stated that all of the required title searches and legal notifications have already been done. Since there is no limit on the time between approval by Council and the actual demolition, he felt it would save time and money to move forward with the authorization process, but to hold up on the actual demolition, unless it becomes clear that the required repairs are not going to be made.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing open.
There was no one present wishing to address the proposed demolition.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Hare moved to authorize the demolition of 106 S. New Street if it is not brought up to City standards within a period of time determined by the Building Inspector to be reasonable for the required improvements. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Malone and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Salters absent).
In situations where a structure is being demolished, Mr. Christiansen suggested that the City work with Habitat for Humanity in getting a home built on the empty lot. He stated that there are instances where empty lots can cause as many problems as dangerous buildings.
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF 434 COLLINS DRIVE
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building ordinance at 434 Collins Drive. The Building Inspector, Mr. DePrima, stated that the property is a one story frame, single family home that has been determined to be unsafe. The owners of the property are Lewis and Mary Stephens who live in South Carolina. The property has been vacant for over 10 years. Mr. DePrima showed slides depicting the structural deterioration of the house. Not only is the building structurally dangerous, but vagrants have broken into the home on many occasions and it poses a fire hazard.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing open.
Mr. Ernest Crump of 423 Collins Drive addressed members of Council. Mr. Crump stated that he lives across the street from the dangerous structure. Although it is in disrepair, Mr. Crump stated that he does not favor demolition because the remaining vacant lot will cause additional problems for other homeowners. In the past, vacant lots become parking lots and places for people to hang out. Mr. Crump requested that he be given an opportunity to contact the owners to see if they will renovate the structure to City standards.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing closed.
Mr. DePrima stated that if the structure is demolished, the City will work with the other property owners to ensure that it does not become a public nuisance.
Mr. Lambert moved that the Building Inspector be authorized to have the structure demolished, stipulating that demolition be delayed for at least 30 days to afford Mr. Crump an opportunity to contact the owners about renovations. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Malone and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Salters absent).
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF 759 W. NORTH STREET
A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider a violation of the Dangerous Building ordinance at 434 Collins Drive. The Building Inspector, Mr. DePrima, stated that the property is a two story frame, single family home that has been determined to be unsafe. The owner of the property is Doris M. Scott of Yeardon, PA. Mr. DePrima showed slides depicting the structural deterioration of the house, stating that there is extensive deterioration to the foundation of the structure. The house has been vacant for at least three years with no maintenance or repairs performed during that time. The building is a fire and structural hazard.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing open.
There was no one present wishing to address the proposed demolition.
Council President Christiansen declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Hare moved that the Building Inspector be authorized to have the building demolished, seconded by Mr. Leary and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Salters absent).
LEGISLATIVE AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Legislative and Finance Committee met on July 24, 1995 with Chairman Salters presiding. In the absence of Mr. Salters, the report was presented by Mr. Leary.
Proposed Ordinance Amendment - Chapter 4 - Animal and Fowl
During the committee meeting of June 13, 1995, members discussed a proposed ordinance amendment to Chapter 4 of the City Code which addresses animal and fowl, to include more detailed information and control for vicious animals. The proposal stemmed from an incident where two young children were bitten by a vicious dog. Chief Smith submitted a detailed proposed ordinance amendment. He stated that he felt the ordinance was a definite improvement and addressed each concern for vicious dogs and animals. The City Solicitor reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment.
Mrs. Ann Gniesco of 265 Mifflin Road had several questions and suggestions which were relayed to the committee.
The committee recommended acceptance of the ordinance as submitted. Under the consent agenda format, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. (The first reading of the ordinance will take place during the latter part of the meeting).
DECCASA - Contract Manager
The City receives a grant every year from the Office of Community Prevention to provide an anti-drug program (DECCASA) for the City of Dover. Since initiation of the program, the Mayor has been responsible for the program. In a letter to the committee, Mayor Hutchison recommended that the Chairman of the Legislative and Finance Committee be designated as the contract manager for the DECCASA program. Mr. Salters has agreed to accept the responsibility of administering the contract for the DECCASA program. The deadline for Fiscal Year 1995 of the DECCASA program is August 31, 1995. There is approximately $4,000 that must be spent by August 31, 1995 and additional funds that must be encumbered. Otherwise, the funds would revert back to the State. Mr. Salters stated that the Office of Prevention has recommended that Yvonne Bunch serve the community as a part-time employee through the end of August. Ms. Bunch would be responsible for preparing the RFP’s for Fiscal Year 1996. The Community Prevention Coordinator would serve to oversee the Criminal Justice Council grant recently awarded to Sarah Butler, which would have to be funneled through the Police Department. At the present time, there is a projected $22,600 in remaining funds. This is a result of monies left over from DECCASA and a projected balance from the present service provider, Dover Housing Authority.
Once the new Community Prevention Coordinator has been hired, they would report directly to the contract manager, who in turn, will report to the Legislative and Finance Committee and then to Council. Mr. Salters stated that after Council approves this request, an RFP would be written and a proposal would be brought back to Council for approval.
It was recommended by Mayor Hutchison that this request be approved expeditiously so that the contract manager could move forward with the summer program and prepare for the upcoming year.
The committee recommended that the Chairman of the Legislative and Finance Committee be designated as the contract manager for DECCASA.
Under the consent agenda format, Mr. Leary moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried.
Evaluation of Bids - Renovations and Addition to the Dover Police Station
Mr. Leary explained that prior to the Council Meeting, the Legislative and Finance Committee met to evaluate the bids on the renovations and addition to the Police Station. Nine bids were received with the low bid on the project coming from Kent Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $3,398,000. The committee recommended that the bid be awarded to Kent Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $3,398,000.
Mr. Leary moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare.
Mr. Tudor questioned the bid process, stating that it was brought to his attention that there was a protest to the bid of Kent Construction. Mr. O’Connor stated that a protest was received from W.B. Venables & Sons, Inc. which was referred to the City Solicitor. City Solicitor Rodriguez determined that the protest was without merit and that the bid from Kent Construction Company was valid.
The motion to approve the bid from Kent Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $3,398,000 to perform renovations and an addition to the Dover Police Station was approved by a roll call vote of six (6) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Christiansen), one (1) abstention (Mrs. Malone) and one (1) absent (Mr. Salters).
Mr. Leary moved for acceptance of the Legislative and Finance Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Lambert and unanimously carried.
UTILITY COMMITTEE REPORT
The Utility Committee met on July 24, 1995 with Chairman Lambert presiding.
McKee Run Unit #1 Generator
McKee Run Unite #1 has not been in operation since May 1994 due to turbine damage. A repair scope of work was prepared in accordance with the insurance company’s recommendation. Through bidding, the Elliott Company was the low bidder and was awarded the contract for repair of the turbine. As part of the repair process, Elliot has examined the unit to ensure that all potential problems are addressed and that the unit may be reassembled with confidence of long term, safe operation. Due to the nature of the damage incurred by the turbine and the possible causes of the damages, Elliott has recommended that the generator rotor be pulled so that the generator internals may be examined to ensure there is no damage to the generator. An increase in the generator rotor vibration is significant enough to require the generator to be rebalanced to bring operation back into acceptable limits. Staff feels that this fact, along with the nature of the damage to the turbine, supports Elliott’s recommendation that the generator’s internals be examined.
Elliott has submitted a quote in the amount of $54,466 to pull the generator rotor, inspect the generator internals, and repair the generator bearings. Staff recommended that Elliott’s proposal be accepted and that a purchase order in the amount of $54,466 be issued to Elliott to perform the work.
At the present time, the generators are only working up to a five (5) year period between overhauls. They are in the process of upgrading the generators and hope that they will function up to seven or eight years between overhauls. The needed repairs were not part of the original scope of work. The repairs will not be covered by the Insurance Company because it was not part of the original proposal. Mr. O’Connor stated that insurance adjusters have been on-site and are inspecting the work being performed on a regular basis.
Mr. Tudor asked if it is later found that the damages were incurred while repairing and replacing the generator with new bearings, if the insurance company will be responsible for those damages. Mr. O’Connor responded that the Insurance Company would only be liable to pay for damages if it is determined that it was a part of the original overhaul from the previous contractor.
Mr. Lambert stated his opinion that if it is determined that the damage was caused by the original contractor, then repair costs should be covered by the Insurance Company. Responding to Mr. Fenimore, Mr. O’Connor stated that the damage could have been caused by vibrations and age.
The committee recommended that Elliott’s proposal be accepted and that a purchase order in the amount of $54,466 be issued to Elliott to perform the work, stipulating that the insurance company and/or the previous contractor be placed on notice that if it is indicated that this repair or any future repairs are necessary due to damage from the previous overhaul, the responsible party will be expected to reimburse the City for the costs of the repairs and inspections.
Mr. Lambert moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Pitts and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Salters absent).
Paving of Warehouse Yard - North Street
For the past two years, a problem has occurred with the spontaneous leaking of three phase, padmount transformers stored at the North Street yard. The yard is gravel covered and the environmental impact that accompanies each spill is an unnecessary problem for the City. The soil has to be put into barrels and shipped across the country to a disposal site. During the past 18 months, there have been 15 transformers that have leaked at the North Street storage yard at a cost of $6,100 for cleanup. These expenses could be avoided by paving the Warehouse Yard. This would allow the City to simply clean up any spill with oil absorbent pads or compound. Two bids were received for paving of the yard, with the low bid received from Jerry’s Paving in the amount of $28,864. Staff recommended that the bid be awarded to Jerry’s Paving.
Transformers are moved around most of the time and paving the warehouse yard would make it more feasible than the type of surface that is currently being used. Overall, the City would save money by paving the yard and performing our own cleanup as opposed to paying for the clean up from the oil spills.
The committee recommended that Jerry’s Paving be issued a purchase order for $28,864 for paving the Warehouse Yard on North Street.
Mr. Lambert moved for approval of the committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Hare and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Mr. Salters absent).
Mr. Lambert moved for acceptance of the Utility Committee Report, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried.
FINANCIAL REPORTS - JUNE
Review of the June financial reports was delayed by Council during their meeting of July 24, 1995 for review on August 14, 1995. Council President Christiansen asked if members of Council had questions on the reports. Mr. Leary moved for approval of the following reports, seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried:
A. General Fund, Cash Receipts & Budget Reports
B. Water/Sewer Fund, Revenue & Budget Reports
C. Electric Revenue Fund, Revenue & Budget Reports
D. Improvement and Extension Fund, Cash Receipts & Budget Reports
E. Internal Service Fund, Revenue & Budget Report
ADDENDUM TO POLICE LABOR AGREEMENT
Police management and employees have been working together in an attempt to reduce some of the personal and professional problems which are created by our need to have the uniform divisions rotate their working shifts for 24 hours per day, seven days per week. After review of shift cycles of other police agencies, it was suggested that the City Police, Uniformed Division, work 12 hour shifts. The advantages of a 12 hour shift are that it requires only two changes per cycle instead of three and that the schedule produces the same amount of work time in the cycle, but time off is observed in longer break periods. The current labor agreement has contractual language which would need to be changed in order to keep the revised work schedule cost neutral. Employees have voted for approval of the change and City staff recommends approval. Mr. O’Connor stressed that the City reserves the right to change the shift back at its discretion.
Mr. Leary moved for approval of the addendum to the Police Labor Agreement which institutes 12 hour shifts, noting that the City reserves the right to change the shift back at its discretion. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lambert and carried by a roll call vote of seven (7) yes, one (1) no (Mr. Tudor) and one (1) absent (Mr. Salters).
APPOINTMENTS - MAYOR
Dover Parking Authority
Mayor Hutchison recommended the appointment of Rebecca Gordon, co-owner of Ben’s Mens Store & Tailor Shop, to the Dover Parking Authority. The appointment is for five years, to expire July 1, 2000. (Mrs. Gordon will replace the seat formerly held by Mr. James Marshall).
Mr. Pitts moved for approval of the appointment, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried.
Dover Library Commission
Mayor Hutchison recommended the appointment of Mr. George H. Jones and Ms. Alta M. Porterfield to serve on the Library Commission for five year terms, to expire June 16, 2000.
Mr. Leary moved for approval of the appointments, seconded by Mr. Pitts and unanimously carried.
FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Mrs. Malone moved to waive the reading of the proposed ordinances before Council, seconded by Mr. Leary and unanimously carried. Council President Christiansen reminded the public that copies of the proposed ordinance are available at the entrance of the Council Chambers or can be obtained from the City Clerk’s Office. Final action by Council on the proposed ordinances will take place during the Council Meeting of August 28, 1995.
