City Of Dover Losing $300,000 From Grievance Settlements

DOVER — A city already under severe financial strain now has $300,000 less to work with after recently settling grievances with police officers alleging racial discrimination in promotion practices.

Acting Dover Mayor David L. Bonar said administrators are exploring options on how to absorb a bill resulting from an April 4 deputy chief promotion that brought complaints from police Capts. Robert Scott and Tim Stump, Lts. Dan McKeown, J. Eric Richardson and Jason Pires.

City manager Scott Koenig and finance director Donna Mitchell are exploring options on what could be covered by insurance, and how to juggle expenses to pay the debt in Fiscal Year 2015 and/or 2016, Mr. Bonar said.
