The Dover City Council met on October 26, 2026, approving the consent agenda after pulling the consideration of the People's Community Center CDBG allocation withdrawal. Council voted 9-0 to accept the voluntary withdrawal of the $40,000 CDBG allocation by the People's Community Center, which previously provided winter homeless shelter services. Council also approved the five-year Kent County Hazard Mitigation Plan and unanimously authorized the reallocation of budgeted personnel resources to unfreeze an electric groundworker position and allow overlapping training periods for the retiring Electric Director and Police Department accreditation manager. Additionally, council held a first reading on Ordinance #2026-15, which establishes exterior lighting and light trespass regulations for residential properties.
