Dover City Council

Community members held a meeting at the Dover East Estates June 20.

The $243.8 million budget includes increases to water, wastewater and electric rates.

The city charter requires council members receive their salaries. Several council members say they would rather those funds go toward the community.

The budget could raise electric rates by 10 percent.

The address focused on Dover's growth and challenges.

Both versions of the proposed ordinance require residents to remove snow from sidewalks 24 hours after snowfalls end, increased from the current 12-hour timeline.

Councilmember William Hare was charged with patronizing a prostitute Jan. 29.

Nicholas Rodriguez has acted as the city solicitor for 57 years and is stepping down from his post.

William Hare represents the Second District on Dover City Council.

City officials do not consider the data loss a security concern.
