RESOLUTION - EUGENE D. REED

By motion of Mr. Witt, seconded by Mr. McDonough, Council by a unanimous roll call vote, adopted the following resolution.

ADOPTED JUNE 11, 1979

SENATOR RICHARD CORDREY LETTER

Mr. Weyandt requested that a letter from Senator Richard Cordrey, President Pro Tem, be made a part of the official record of the meeting.

In his letter to the City Clerk, Senator Cordrey stated that he could not, at the present time, see where any members of the General Assembly could be of any assistance in the Conrail switching matter.

Ms. Kathleen Kunkle of the Advertising Department requested that the Mayor or City Council implement a letter for publication in the supplement.

Mayor Legates informed Council that the letter had been written, therefore the request required no action.

Noting that the publication usually requires a paid advertisement, Mr. Weyandt moved to refer this matter to the City Manager’s Office for approval, seconded by Mr. Witt and unanimously carried.

An informative letter from the U.S. Department of the Interior, William J. Murtagh - Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, was received and contained pertinent information on certain benefits and provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 that may apply to property listed in the National Register.

Noting that no complaints were received from similar activities, Mr. Muir moved for approval of the concert, seconded by Mr. Weyandt and unanimously carried.

Petition - State College Road Residents - Square Club Incorporated Activities

A petition to Mayor Legates, with copies to Councilmen and containing approximately 32 signatures of the neighboring community, requested assistance in alleviating certain conditions that stem from weekly dances held by the Square Club Incorporated on State College Road.

The contents mentioned parking on both sides of the road and loud music. Upon leaving in the early morning hours there is alleged swearing, speeding and litter in the form of bottles thrown on adjacent properties.

The citizens suggested “No Parking” on both sides of the road from Dover-Kenton Road to the entrance of the Woodlands of Foxhall.

Mr. Hardcastle stated that he had received 12 letters, directed to the Chairman of the Safety Advisory Committee, relating to the aforementioned matter.

Responding to an inquiry by Mr. Bewick, Chief Klenoski stated that there is a violation of the law that could be enforced when vehicles park on the shoulder of the road. This is in reference to section 4179 (a) #16, Title 21 of the Delaware Code which prohibits parking at any place where parking, standing or stopping obstructs the free passage of other traffic.

Chief Klenoski said that a problem exists with this, in that section 4181 of the same code requires that a particular parking ticket be used. These tickets have been recalled by the State of Delaware for reprinting. At this particular time, there are none available. He added that the most expeditious way to cope with the problem would be for Council to pass an ordinance prohibiting parking on the shoulder of the road.

Mr. McDonough advised against a hasty decision on the matter and suggested referral to the Safety Advisory Committee, giving residents an opportunity for input before a final decision.

Mr. Bewick suggested that Mr. Hardcastle hold a special meeting of the Safety Advisory Committee due to the irritation caused to local residents of the area. If the committee could initiate a recommendation, this would enable Council to initiate action that would alleviate the situation.

Mr. Weyandt informed Council that he had reviewed photographs taken by the Police Department and that his recommendation would be for an ordinance that would prohibit parking due to the inadequacy of the shoulders of the road.

Mr. McDonough moved that the Safety Advisory Committee call a special meeting to include input from the Chief of Police and Mr. Roe for a report to Council at the meeting of June 25th. The motion was seconded by Mr. Witt.

Due to the inferred urgency of the matter, Mr. Carey inquired of Mr. Hardcastle when the meeting could be held.

Mayor Legates declared a five minute recess for the committee to confer and settle on a meeting date. The meeting reconvened with Mr. Hardcastle reporting a special meeting of the Safety Advisory Committee at 7:00 p.m. on June 21, 1979.

The motion to hold a special meeting, as moved by Mr. McDonough, was unanimously approved.

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1979-80 & REVISED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1978-79

A public hearing was duly advertised for this time and place to consider adoption of the General Fund Budget for fiscal year 1979-80, incorporating revenue sharing requests, and the revised budget for fiscal year 1978-79. Mayor Legates declared the hearing open.

Mayor Legates explained that this would be the second public hearing incorporating revenue sharing requests and advised those applicants present that each would be called to the podium to substantiate the amount of the request and answer any questions that Council might have.

There was no one present to speak for or against the request of Capitol Green Day Care.

United Way - Dr. Emil Sammak

Mayor Legates recognized Dr. Emil Sammak as present and stated that he was present at the public hearing of May 21, 1979 as a petitioner to strongly urge Council to consider granting a fair share of revenue sharing to those who have submitted the applications.

Harvest Years Senior Center - $5,000

There was no one present to speak for or against the request.

Mayor Legates advised those present that the total amount of revenue sharing requests, excluding the City’s request, amounted $388,230.

Mr. Muir moved that all funds from revenue sharing be allocated to the General Fund of the City of Dover per the recommendation of the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt.

Mr. Muir stated his regret for the necessity of this action, since there are organizations that deserve a grant. However, he felt that this would help avoid a tax increase and other service charges.

Mr. McDonough stated that he had planned to ask for at least $40,000 out of the total grant that would assist residents of the City other than taxpaying property owners. He suggested that renters also pay taxes through their rent without the benefit of a tax deduction.

Mr. Hardcastle added his opinion that at least 10% of the grant should be considered for the social service agencies. Although he voted for a deficit budget, he was confident that the City would end the fiscal year in the black.

Mr. Weyandt stated that a $183,000 deficit exists even with the allocation of all of the revenue sharing grant. He could not see how the City Manager could reduce any of the present budget, alluding to the step by step review by Council. It bothered him that there are insufficient funds to include a Capitol Improvement item in the budget. Among other bare budget items, only $1,000 was listed to maintain the City Hall facility, which to him is impossible. He felt that it is the duty of each councilman to the citizens, to avoid any action that might further jeopardize the financial structure of the City.

Mr. Muir called for the question on the motion to allocate all of the revenue sharing funds to the General Operating Budget of the City of Dover.

By a roll call vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Mr. McDonough, Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Bewick) the motion was carried.

Mayor Legates declared the hearing closed.

Mr. Muir moved that the General Fund Budget for fiscal year 1979-80 and the Revised Budget for fiscal year 1978-79 be accepted as submitted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Weyandt.

There was no one present to speak for or against the budgets as submitted.

Commenting on areas in the budget that could be reviewed and possibly result in an overall reduction, Mr. McDonough mentioned the City of Dover ambulance service, the Robbins Hose fire dispatchers, the Criminal Investigative Department of the City Police, the Fire Marshal’s office and the possibility of trash collection once a week.

By a roll call vote of five (5) yes, three (3) no (Mr. McDonough, Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Bewick) the General Fund for 1979-80 and the Revised Budget for 1978-79 was accepted and Council adopted the following ordinance.

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

1. The amounts hereinafter named, aggregating Five Million, Seven Hundred Sixty Two Thousand, Six Hundred and Forty Dollars ($5,762,640) or so much as may be necessary are hereby appropriated from current revenues and other funds for the use of the several departments of the Municipal Government for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1979 and ending June 30, 1980.
