If you choose to take the podium and speak, please state your name. Non-aggenda items. Okay, I will start uh like to start with we did the meet and greet last week. That turned out really well. Um, I think we had 12 attendees that we had toward.

I think it was nine. Nine. So, people came out to meet our candidates. Uh, we did the parks and wreck meeting on Wednesday, which went really well. There was a a nice attendance there. Um, Ashlin did a meet and greet and then Saturday was opening day for Little League at um the park which was a lot of fun. It's always great to see all the kids come out and all the parents and all the happiness and excitement and Bill Carson got an award um of recognition as well. Um and Councilman Pope, you're next.

Well, thank you very much. Uh so to start I did uh take part in the uh there was a zoom meeting uh for DMAC the LNR roundt where they keep us up to date and thank you for doing that on u the happenings at legislative hall which is still in process um we still have a lot of details work out uh but they are keeping us up to date as to what's going on so that is very helpful so we thank you for that um I did stop into the library today starts National Library Week. If you have been to our new library, great. If not, please, ma'am, please, sir, make your way over there. You'll get one of these nifty stickers saying that I visited my library today. And they've got some nifty bookmarks as well. They've extended their hours and have some really exciting programs planned. As you know, from the state level, one of the initiatives when it comes to education is improving literacy among our kiddos. and I am happy to share that they have some programs coming up for the summer for kids to participate in reading uh so that they can keep up their reading skills throughout the summer because usually what happens when school closes that's when we get the academic drop off a little bit and so this will help to keep the kiddos reading skills nice and sharp and with that in mind I uh I yield back the floor.

Okay. Uh, Councilman Johnson, just like to thank everybody for the hard work they do for town, especially the guys doing the spring cleanup. Thanks for everything you're doing. Councilman Olsson, on the subject of the Duck Creek Library tomorrow night, there's a historical lecture on John Dickinson, one of the prominent men of the Revolution from Delaware. That's tomorrow night at six o'clock at the library. And Councilman Miles.

Uh, thanks to the staff for you guys, you know, all the spring clean up that you guys have been doing. Um, I know there's a few comments online, but I think people understand how much you guys are picking up and thanks for all that hard work, Councilman Drew. Thank you. Thank you for everybody coming out. Um, yes, I was at the parks and rec meeting. Very productive. We're putting things in place to keep our parks safe. And I just want to say just check on your loved ones because tomorrow's not promised. What? Tomorrow's not promised. So, good evening everyone. Good evening.

On Saturday from 10 to 12:00 p.m. Delaware Futures iso hosting an Earth Day community event. Um, it is open to all leadership initiatives, students, and families. The kickoff breakfast. They will be meeting at Wendy's um and doing uh Earth Day cleanups as well. They will have goodie bags for all students participating. So, just wanted to share that. Again, that is Delaware Futures. Delaware Futures is located um inside the Boys and Girls Club. That's all I have.

Okay. Um and one last thing, housekeeping for council. All council members have the town of Simus policy 101 uh standards of conduct for elected officials. I'd like to ask that everyone please review it and go out to Lexiple the electronic tool and acknowledge that you have reviewed it and understand it please. Um with that chief

uh we have some exciting things going on at the police department on Friday at about 2 pm at troop 2. There will be a grad small graduation informal ceremony for the first ever Delaware hosted municipal SWAT school. We have four officers graduating. Um so that's going on last week and this week they'll graduate on Friday. Um if you see a bunch of police cars parked outside our building this week, not to be worried. We are hosting a searchy evidence detection class. Um last year we sent two of our detectives to Pennsylvania to attend this class kind of as a trial thing. They came back and they said, "Chief, this is the best training we've ever been to." Said, "We got to host it." We reached out. We got them to come to Smyrna as a host location. Best part about that is it's an expensive training. Because we're hosting it, we get free seats.

Nice. Um the officers graduate with a very high level ability to process all types of evidence, photographic, fingerprint, blood, DNA, bootprint, you name it. How to photograph scenes properly. Um they graduate with a whole kit from the Cery company, which is valued at about $900. Um, we have that room filled. The searching instructor, I met with him after class today. He thanked me for hosting. Said this is the largest class nationwide they've ever hosted. Wow.

So, we have law enforcement professionals from Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, all in our room this week, um, taking this class. So, that's very exciting. Three of our officers are taking it. So, that'll give us five graduates after this week. Very, very high level good stuff for our detectives. Uh, and then on May 7th, we have a job shadow coming over from high school STEM program. 15 to 20 students that are potentially interested in a criminal justice pathway will be coming to visit with us for half a day. They're going to get introduced to the command staff. They'll get a patrol demonstration, a SWAT demonstration, the detectives demonstration, the ESRO will talk about their job, and we're going to finish up with a K9 demo. Nice. Nice. Very nice.

Very nice. When we were at Deltech last week for their law enforcement uh job fair, we had some good interactions with high schoolers from all around Kent County and our K9 team was also there for a demo as well. And Sergeant Sarissian sat on the panel up on the big stage and got to answer all kinds of questions and get put under the microscope in front of a room of a thousand people that he wasn't expecting. Congratul kudos to him. That's great. Um town manager.

Great job. Um so we are doing a couple different things that have uh been going on this month. One of them is just like the police department. Um we participated in the Smyrna High School's job fair. So we got a chance to interact with a good majority of I don't even know what age group but there was a ton of kids um in waves. So I think we had some really good interactions. They seem to really enjoy public works and and the IT department. So um it was good. we brought some things back and hopefully we'll be moving on some things. Um, we've got some updates that have been coming to websites and things like that. So, as we've been talking about this for probably the last year or two, these things are finally starting to come to fruition. So, um, I know again it seems like it's a constant conversation, but they are starting to to pop up. So, you're going to start seeing some changes. I think we're down to our final two competitors. So, we will see a major change with the website and a major overhaul once we kind of make that decision. uh we're going to make it a little easier for all of us to uh

a lot easier to manipulate through. So you'll start to see those changes coming here soon. So that's Are any of those the company that we currently have?

Yes, one of them is what we currently have. We interviewed and tested out six of them. We narrowed it down to two and one of them is our current uh provider, Civic Plus. Okay. Quick quick question for both uh town manager and chief. Thank you for your programs, especially reaching out to young people moving ahead. Do you foresee or or have you thought about possibly some kind of summer internship program at that level for them or is this just pretty much the where we're going to hold uh those programs at this point?

So from our perspective, obviously we're bringing back the Junior Police Academy. I know that's a much younger age level. Um, I've been in discussions with the DelTech LEO program about hosting interns. Uh, the last I spoke with, um, retired chief boardley was a couple of weeks ago. If he throws me some names, I'm certainly open to it. I don't have the budget to pay them. Um, but if if someone wanted to do an unpaid internship, I because he reached out asking if that was a possibility. Um, that's certainly something that we would entertain. Um, from the high school level, you know, you can't go to the police academy until you're 21. So, it probably makes more sense to to go to the DelTech route and get someone that's 18 to 20.

Um, but if there was a high school kid super interested maybe graduating, that's a conversation we can have on May 7th with that that group and those teachers leading them and see if that's something maybe they would want to look into. So, on the town side of things, um, you know, talking with Jake, I think one of the things that we want to kind of re-evaluate is is the summer intern program that we used to host, which the kids from the high school would able to come in. They'd help us with the cutting the grass and kind of learning because what we're finding is is we're getting a lot of turnover in that, right?

Um, the kids are getting some good experience and then they're honestly taking that in other places. So it would be good to get somebody young that we could help replace those things. So I think it's important um to to have that. So not going to see addition see something moving forward to kind of help with that. You know that being said, public works crew has been out diligently making sure that they are cleaning up um you know with that time of the year. We've been working on Saturdays um to kind of help catch up um because we're a little more than what we were last year. So again, want to say thank you to those guys for taking that time out of their weekends and stuff like that to continue to make sure that we keep the the town going. Again, Jake and his guys have been out. It is that time for us with our spring clean up. Again, we've been talking about it. Um parking spots are being done, patches are being laid out, and the roadways and stuff like that. So, um hopefully we'll see much nicer looking town this summer.

Wonderful. Sounds good. Thank you so much. Thank you. Barrett, I don't have anything. Madame Mayor, sure we keep you included. Don't want to leave you out. We'll now move on to old business, including discussion and possible action on the following items. A, the third reading and adoption of ordinance 002-26. I'd like to make a motion of the third reading and adoption of ordinance 002-26. Danielle, can we do roll call vote, please? Sure. Councilman Drew, yes. Vice Mayor Dr. Upure, yes.

Councilman Pope, yes. Councilman Johnson, yes. Councilman Olsson, no. Councilman Miles, yes. And Mayor, are you? Yes. It has been moved and seconded that we accept the third reading and adoption of ordinance 002-26. New business, including discussion and possible action on the following items. A Kendra, would you please join us for an overview from DMAC? Hello everybody.

Hello here today. So, I know this was your brainchild. So, I we work very hard to try to get something together for you. It is always a pleasure to have you.

So, um for those of you who don't know me, I am Kendra Freel. I'm the training and events coordinator over at DMECH. Uh and I'm here today to provide you a quick overview of what DME does and how we are actually we view ourselves as an extension of you. So, we'll go ahead and jump right in. Bear with me some while I get used to this. Okay. Okay, so DMECH was actually created by an act of the general assembly in 1978. We're a political subdivision of the state much like a town or a city. Um, and we have been serving our members for over 46 years at this point. Uh, we represent the nine citizens of the city of Delaware who own their own utility. Um, we were originally formed to secure a reliable, sustainable and lowcost power supply, but we have over the years branched out to provide more joint services to you. We created economies of scale by using your aggregated purchasing power as the DMAC9. Uh we it's kind of like we like to refer to it as the Sam's Club effect. The more that you spend, the more you save. So um in addition to that, we have speaking of the legislative regulatory uh round tables, uh our legislative team actually advocates for all of our members on the state and federal levels to make sure that you maintain that local decision-making and control of your utility. So, a little bit about the uh utilities in Delaware. We have three business models currently in effect in Delaware. All are very, very different. So, we like to say you can't compare apples to oranges. DMAC is a public power utility, meaning that we are owned by you. We are communityowned. We are not for profofit. And our main focus is on the customer and our communities. Uh when you have the co-op, they have a member focus. And of course, Delm Mara Power is investor owned. So, they're all about their shareholders. All of the money that is collected goes directly back into your utility uh for street lighting, roads, police departments, schools, things like

that. Another big difference between DMEC and the other models is you guys have more than just an electric utility. You do wastewater, you do water, you do all sorts of different things. So, you are definitely more you're you're community focused and we support that any way that we possibly can. So, a few fun facts to share about us. Uh, we strive to lead by example. Uh, we're committed to reliable and sustainable power supply. Over the past several years, we actually increased our investments on on demand and low emission generation assets. I don't know if all of you have had the opportunity, but we have the beast power station right down there along with Smyrna solar. And now we have our lovely line training yard, which little plug, joint council briefing. We're bringing back the tours. So, please sign up for a tour now. It has grown. It is beautiful and uh it's it's really a sight to behold. Um we also have a we have majority stake in the Fremont Energy Center which is a natural gas power plant in Ohio. Um we also focus on environmental accountability. A lot of people really don't know that our power supply uh is 93% low to no emissions. So getting to 100, but right now it's it's very very clean energy that we're bringing to you. Uh we currently have invested in 28.7 megawatts of solar. Uh and then we have 71 megawatts of wind energy. If you ever find yourself down in Lewis, there's a great big turbine with University of Delaware on it. That is one of our assets. We get 2 megawatts of power from that. Um and then much like you guys, we are very passionate about giving back to our community. Uh we have um light up Navajo coming up and I know y'all know a lot about that because Smyrna is uh the community who has participated on DMX to have the most. Newark is catching up to you guys though just so you guys have been out there since

the pilot. Um and uh so 20 2019 22 23 and 24. So uh and a little bit about the project uh leg of Navajo is actually a we call it a mutual aid without the storm uh benefit and what it is is we worked in partnership with our uh national organization American public power association and the Navajo tribal utility authority and we bring together or they bring together and we participate in um this humanitarian effort this time of year. Every year our guys are going out on Saturday and uh we bring power to the Navajo people who have never had it. When we started the project there were 15,000 people in Nation who did not have power. That means they did not have running water. They did not have refrigeration. They had none of these basic amenities. It was basically a third world nation. Now we are looking at a little under 11,000 left, but we're going back out. We're going to get them. We're going to get them set up. Uh so please follow us on Facebook because you'll get to see the guys whole trip out there. We try to really really um brag about them while they're out there. Uh we also participate in a DMAC day of giving each year. Uh the past several years we've actually been going to the Milford Food Bank where we'll package food, we'll uh sort and such and get packages ready for, you know, those who are less fortunate. Um, and we also have a charitable donations and sponsorship fund uh where we can sponsor your community events or if you have uh a promo item or something that you need like we are actually we just signed on again to do SMR at night. So that's what we do with that. So then on to our mutual aid efforts. This is another shared service that we offer. Uh Delaware is on a peninsula. So we like to say it's not a matter of if but a matter of when. there's going to be some sort of disaster storm strike us. Uh DMAC has worked with FEMA and we have had mutual aid agreements in effect since 2005. Uh we also have state mutual

aid. All of our members are very very supportive and are ready to come out and help you if anything were to happen. We also rely heavily on our national and regional mutual aid. Uh we have American uh American Municipal Power, which is our regional provider, and then we have American Public Power Association. Both of them are always at the ready. If something were to happen, they're ready to send people. And I just wanted to point out, too, it's not working. Now, I've got some light up Navajo pictures here that I really wanted to share. I've got Jeff over here when he went and then Josh and Zach, they went out for the pilot program and they did such a good job. They they had the whole nation buzzing. So, I'm really proud to be part of that. Okay. And then on to our legislative advocacy. We uh strive to support you through legis legislative advocacy. We like to jokingly say if you're if you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu. So, we represent you in all of the groups that you're seeing here. Uh we we we represent you as an extension of your community. Uh and then, uh as you all probably know, energy legislation has kind of gone off the rails the last few years.

Last year, we tracked uh 28 bills. This year, we're already up to 36. and our legislative team monitors and advocates on your behalf for all of those bills. They do a very good job uh keeping track of what's going. And then we're coming to my favorite part, our training and events. Um this is another way we take advantage of the economies of scale to bring a robust and timely program to you that may not have been achievable by all of our members. So we have live inerson and virtual trainings. We've covered key accounts. We've covered cyber security, accounting, um we also have our line worker training program which was just certified by the Department of Labor. So, we're very proud of that. Uh and we have our first graduating class coming through in November. So, um mark your calendar for book November 20th. So, we're very excited about that. And then I have I had to throw in a few more people here like Ted when he got up on that that on those polls. I just thought he was so hilarious. So, um, we also have our learning management system. Uh, we have on demand webinars on there. The legislative and regulatory roundts that you're attending, they actually are recording placed on there afterward. So, if anyone does hasn't had the opportunity to view them, they are there and ready for you. Um, we also uh host all of our upcoming events there so you can access them and register uh at your convenience. On speak of which I wanted to point out to the fact to you that your customer service department has really been making use of that learning management system. They've gone through a lot of our 101 trainings and such. So I I hope that they're uh they're they're learning a lot. So then on to community relations. Our regarding community relations is we try to humanize your utility. So um we sponsor community events. Uh we also do member visits. Uh we do a public power billboard each each year with hosting

one of your line workers. Uh and then we also do these power savers graphics. We put those out as educational materials for you to pass on to your your customers. Uh making them aware of the fact that when you have those higher peak times, if they lower their usage, then they'll be able to lower the the uh the cost of the energy across the board. So, we try to make sure that you're all aware and have go out in a timely way. And then, uh, just a few little things that we have coming up. Uh, we have our joint council briefing that's going to be on Tuesday, uh, at our training facility, uh, and, um, you should have received some invitations. I' I've sent out a few uh, emails and then hard copies and sent, but if you need more, please let me know and I'll be happy to get them for you. uh the next legislation legislative and regulatory roundt. It's going to be the final one of the year. Uh this is a good thing to to keep note of just in case you can't make it to the joint council briefing because a lot of the stuff that we're covering in the joint council briefing will also be discussed in this meeting. Once again, that will be on the learning management system afterward. Um speaking of as well, you all do have loginins to the learning management system. So if you are are unable to to get on there, just please let me know and I'll be happy to get you situated. Um, also, uh, mark your calendar. Our next annual dinner is going to be on September 9th. We'll be once again down at Valley. So, I hope to see you all there again. And with that, I am here for any questions that you may have. If I can elaborate on anything further or just a simple question, a couple of them.

Um, the first one is um, our liaison are Tori and Kathleen. Um and and with that, you know, thank you for finding the efficiencies that that make it so that we can pass those savings on to our residents and and have an understanding of why and how that happens using your subject matter expertise to provide that information. Wonderful.

I have two questions. Um one, are we okay? I mean, it's a public meeting, but are we allowed to share this out? obviously taking out emails and stuff. Okay. Just so that they could be important for people to just kind of understand. And then the second one is when is the class for the lineman work reset? Cuz I know you said there's a graduation in November. Is that like a

that that is going to be the graduation the actual ceremony. Um we are constantly doing trainings. If as a matter of fact, if you ever want to uh stop by when we're having a training, I'll be happy to let you know when they are. Uh we have one coming up next week and they're usually a full week training. So you could stop by or trainer has them out there. Um we had one recently that was really interesting because both of the the gentlemen who were they were they were entirely new. So it was really neat to see how they start adapting and get and getting these skills. They had them like climbing up the the poles really fast and then they would toss a ball back to one another and then if they dropped the ball they had to climb all the way down and get and then climb back up. So they they are happening frequently.

As far as the tours, can young how young can kids far as um we haven't had children, but we're not opposed to doing so to bringing children down to to take a look at the tour. Um Okay. Thank you. Anyone else? I do have a question just in case it comes up once somebody looks at this because I'm sure it'll get posted. On page three, the second bullet says DMAC advocates for just and reasonable rates and policies to all the to the benefit of all Delawarians.

Clarify that our policies we aren't specifically just advocating for ourselves. What we do at let's call benefits as a whole. Okay. Thank you. Mhm. Does anyone else have questions? So, you were saying that DMEC has a power generating plant out in Ohio, huh? Natural gas.

Yeah. Yeah. It's actually through our regional partner, uh, American Municipal Power. They're the ones who originally built it and we bought into into the, uh, power. Uh, one thing actually, if I may backtrack, I completely forgot to mention as well. Um, you're one of your sister communities, the town of Middletown is getting ready to roll out the very first floating solar array. Um, it's going to be 3 megawatts of power that they're going to be floating on one of their wastewater ponds. So, we're getting ready. They they've started the actual process, but we'll be having a ribbon cutting for that eventually, too. So, really, and it'll be the very first one in the state of Delaware. So, we're actually Thank you very much for joining us. I appreciate your time. Thank you very much for having me.

Thank you. Thank you, Kim. Okay, we'll move on to the first reading of ordinance 004-26.

All right, so I will be providing a summary of the ordinance. Ordinance 00-26. It is the red light safety monitoring program for the town of Smyrna. This ordinance amends chapter 66 of the town code to formally establish and regulate a red light camera enforcement program within the town of Cerna. The purpose and authority the town council is authorized under the town council charter and 21LC 4101 to regulate traffic and use electronic red light safety monitoring systems. The ordinance is intended to promote public health, safety, and welfare by enforcing red light violations through automated systems. This is the effective date and legal provisions. The ordinance becomes effective immediately upon adoption. Includes aability clause ensuring the rest of the ordinance remains valid if any part is struck down. Is there a second? Second

discussion. Chief, would you like to say anything?

Uh, so basically the reason for this ordinance is the Delaware Department of Transportation via a statewide traffic study has identified 26 additional intersections from the top of the state to the bottom of the state that they feel the electronic red light safety program would potentially reduce collisions in. Three of those intersections are in our municipal limits. It is 13 in Duck Creek, 13 in the 114 Exchange by the South Wawa, and 13 in Carter Road. Uh, I can tell you our data does back that up. We have a lot of red light influence crashes there. Um, this is a state program. They're putting cameras at these lights whether we like it or not. Um, it's a statemaintained roadway. There's nothing we can say about it. The reason we're putting an ordinance in effect is if we agree to partner with them on this program, we will see some of the fine revenue. Um, I don't want to give you projections. I've gone through all those discussions with Delt. Let's wait to see what it is.

If we don't sign on and partner and put the ordinance in place in in partnership with Barrett, um someone's getting the money and it's not us. So, it it's my opinion if you're going to put the cameras in our municipal limits. Let's partner. Let's get some fine money out of it. It's an additional source of revenue. The revenue is supposed to be used for public safety and highway enforcement. We certainly have a lot of that in our current budget. We can use this money to supplement it.

Barrett, would you like to add anything? No, I mean, so this goes through and really outlines um kind of the nuts and bolts of the procedure. Talks about, you know, as soon as you get your fine, if you pay it promptly, it's less. Longer you wait, the more it becomes. It goes through a couple exceptions here, right? It addresses like rental companies and stuff. They can pass that along to the people that are actually renting the cars. Talks about like commercial vehicles, right? If you're, I don't know, Walmart and you've got commercial trucks on the road and you get a red light ticket, you can pass that along to whoever the driver was, right? That's not going to be on you. So, um, yeah, I mean, that just kind of goes through the ins and outs of how the program is going to work.

Chief, again, can you It was 13 and Carter Road. What were the other ones? 13 in the 114 Exchange. South Wawa. South Wawa. Yep. And 13 in Duck Creek Road. Thank you. Is it only those three intersections? Yep. Those are the only three that are in our municipal limits. There's 26 additional intersections we have. Those are the only ones that will be done in our town limit. Yes, sir. Thank you. Any other discussion? Danielle, will you do a roll call vote, please? Councilman Drew. Yes. Vice Mayor Dr.

Yes. Councilman Pope, yes. Councilman Johnson, yes. Councilman Olsson, yes. Councilman Miles, yes. Mayor Got, yes. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded that we accept the first reading of ordinance 004-26. Contract for Gateway North Inception Manhole Replacement Project 25C01. Jake, Jason, one of you guys want to

explain um brief overview of the project. The all the Bombay Woods neighborhood, the sewer flows to a pump station. That pump station pumps through a force mane and dumps into our gravity sewer and it's in the ABC storage area near Planet of Fitness. Uh the sewage from that force man, the gases from it have deteriorated the manholes directly downstream from that similar to what happened at Locust Street.

So this project is to replace six of the downstream manholes to avoid that happening. Um we put it out to bid. You had six contractors come to the pre- bid, four contractors submit a bid. Uh the bid recommendation I think you guys have it's it was a good price that we got. So 168,000 I think. Yep. From George Lynch. Mhm. Okay. So, so we're asking that you well, we're recommending that we award the contract to George and Lynch for it's 168,000 and whatever the exact answer is there. Thank you. You need a motion as well? Yes.

Yeah. Need a motion so we can have discussion if there's any. I'd like to make a motion uh that we accept the recommendation of staff for the contract award for the interception manhole replacement project. Second. Is there any discussion? Danielle, would you please do roll call? Councilman Drew? Yes. Vice Mayor Dr. Upure? Yes. Councilman Pope? Yes. Councilman Johnson. Yes. Councilman Olsen. Yes. Councilman Miles. Yes.

Mayor Got. Yes. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded that the contract award for Gateway North Interception Manhole Replacement Project be awarded to Jordan Lynch. Sorry, I was thinking of a dollar amount.

And with that, I'd like a motion to adjourn. Adjurnn, please. I make a motion to adjourn tonight's meeting. Second. All those in favor? I. Those opposed us. Have a good evening.
