ACTION FORM
PROCEEDING: Utility Committee AGENDA ITEM NO.:
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Works DATE SUBMITTED: 5/27/16
PREPARED BY: Sharon Duca, P.E., Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Differential Disposal Fee Agreement – Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA)
REFERENCE: N/A
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
APPROVALS: City Manager, Controller
EXHIBITS: Exhibit A – Current Differential Disposal Fee Agreement
Exhibit B – Proposed Differential Disposal Fee Agreement
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $773,500 EST. (FY 2017) AMOUNT BUDGETED: $773,500 (FY 2017)
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Department of Public Works Sanitation Division Annual Operating
Budget (110-1800-555.30-31), FY 2016 line item budget $922,300.
TIME TABLE: Execute agreement following Council approval by June 30, 2016.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed Differential Disposal Fee Agreement
with the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) to provide municipal solid waste disposal service for the City of Dover
from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021 at the rates set forth in the agreement.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On June 12, 2013, the City of Dover entered into a formal agreement, known as the Differential Disposal Fee Agreement,
with the DSWA. This agreement expires on June 30, 2016. The agreement set the disposal rate for municipal solid
waste and dry waste at $77.50 per ton in FY 2014, $79.00 per ton in FY 2015 and $80.50 per ton in FY 2016. These rates
reflected a rebate of $8.00 per ton of solid waste and dry waste. The rebate, applied at the time fees were due, has
yielded the following savings to date:
FISCAL YEAR TOTAL PAYMENT TOTAL TONNAGE REBATE SAVINGS TIME PERIOD
2014 $945,245.32 12,197 $97,576 12 months
2015 $925,220.35 11,712 $93,696 12 months
2016 $773,658.52 9,610 $76,880 10 months
The proposed agreement covers the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021 (FY 2017 – FY 2021) and sets a base
rate of $85.00 for each ton of solid waste for the duration of the agreement. The agreement further establishes rebates
to be paid in two (2) installments per fiscal year. These rebates will be paid on February 15th for the first half of the fiscal
year and August 15th for the second half of the prior fiscal year. Based upon the current solid waste projections of
11,900 tons for FY 2017, the Department of Public Works anticipates the following impact on the Sanitation Division
budget (a decrease over prior years):
FISCAL YEAR PROJECTED PROJECTED FEES REBATE PER TON PROJECTED TOTAL PAYMENT FY 2015
TONNAGE REBATE COMPARISON
2017 11,900 $1,011,500 $16.00 $190,400 $821,100 88.7%
2018 11,900 $1,011,500 $15.00 $178,500 $833,000 90.0%
2019 11,900 $1,011,500 $14.00 $166,600 $844,900 91.3%
2020 11,900 $1,011,500 $13.00 $154,700 $856,800 92.6%
2021 11,900 $1,011,500 $12.00 $142,800 $868,700 93.9%

TIME TIMETABLE: Sign MOA after authorization from City Council. Place recruit in the September
2016 Delaware State Police Academy class.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Chief of Police to negotiate and sign the final Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) for the placement of a School Resource Officer (SRO) at the Kent County Secondary
Intensive Learning Center site for the next three (3) years (FY-2017, FY-2018 & FY-2019)
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Dover Police Department has been contacted by the Capital School District to expand the School Resource
Officer (SRO) program to include the Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning Center site. In order to
memorialize the request, the Dover Police Department and the Capital School District must enter into written
agreement (Memorandum of Agreement – MOA) which authorizes the district to supplement the wages of the
SRO by contributing $60,000 per school year for the next three (3) years.
The Department has a current authorized strength of 101 officers, including the Chief and Deputy Chief. One
(1) officer will resign on June 30, 2016, leaving a vacant position as we enter the FY-2017 budget. The City
was notified of this resignation several months ago and budget for a vacant entry level officer position for the
FY-2017 budget year. The City of Dover is obligated to make a settlement agreement payment of $40,000 on
January 1, 2017. This payment has been contained in the FY-2017 Police Department budget under the salary
line item. If the City authorizes the SRO MOA for the Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning Center, then
there will be enough available funding to send a new police recruit to the Delaware State Police Academy on
September 12, 2016.
A copy of a draft Financial Obligation Agreement and draft MOA is attached for reference purposes. Once
fully executed, the documents will be placed on file in the City Clerk’s office for future reference.
Funding Calculation: $75,769 (Wages & Benefits) - $40,000 (Settlement) + $60,000 (SRO Payment) = $95,769.

RE: FINANCIAL OBLIGATION AGREEMENT FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
AT PARKWAY CENTRAL ACADEMY
Dear Principal Buczynski:
Let this document serve as the contractual agreement between the newly formed partnership of the
Dover Police Department and the Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning Center in regard to
providing a School Resource Officer (SRO) in that facility.
The school has agreed to pay $60,000 for the 900 hours of police service. The contract will be for
three (3) years at $60,000 per school year to be paid by Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning
Center. The total will be paid in three equal of payments of $20,000 (per school year) due on
September 1, 2016, January 1, 2017 and May 1, 2017. This pattern of payments will repeat itself
for each additional year of the contract. Contract renewal will be completed in the second year of
the contract. If there is no contract renewal, the City of Dover would have the option to discontinue
the contract and release the SRO from the from the position when a police officer retires from the
Dover Police Department.
We look forward to a very successful partnership.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE KENT COUNTY SECONDARY INTENSIVE LEARNING
CENTER
BOARD OF EDUCATION/BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND
THE DOVER POLICE DEPARTMENT
1. The Board of Education/Directors of the Kent County Secondary Intensive Learning Center and
the Dover Police hereby agree that the following practices and procedures shall govern their
relationship.
2. All law enforcement agency officers performing law enforcement functions under this Agreement
will be governed by the provisions contained herein.
3. ARRESTS
a. When possible and appropriate, arrest by police should be made during non-school hours and
away from school premises. This excludes on site arrests made by a School Resource Officer
pursuant to normally assigned duties.
b. Arrest on school premises during school hours should be undertaken in such a manner as to
avoid embarrassment to the student being arrested and to avoid jeopardizing the safety and
welfare of other students.
c. In the event a physical arrest must be made during school hours, the principal or designee
should summon the student to his/her office before surrendering the student. Unless the
safety of the students and school staff will be compromised if an arrest is delayed, the officer
should not appear in the classroom to make the physical arrest.
d. If the student is to be surrendered to the custody of the police officer, the principal or
designee should record the name and organization of the officer, the time the officer leaves
the school, the destination (police station, detention facility, or Family Court) and the offense
for which the arrest was made. A substantial effort should be made by the principal or
designee to immediately contact the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the student of any contact by
the police. If the student is arrested and removed from the premises before such contact is
made, the police and the principal or designee each have the responsibility for that
notification.
4. QUESTIONING OR INTERROGATION BY POLICE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY
a. Police investigations involving the questioning or interrogation of pupils should not be
permitted on school premises unless in connection with a school-related crime or in
connection with an investigation which, if not immediately permitted, would compromise the
success of that investigation or endanger the lives or safety of the student or other persons.
Questioning becomes interrogation when it becomes accusatory in nature and is designed to
elicit an admission of guilt from the suspected offender. Law enforcement officers must
provide Miranda warnings when questioning becomes interrogation.
b. The principal or designee shall be present throughout questioning or interrogation that occurs
on school property, except in cases in which the investigation concerns a student who is the
1
Page 36
victim of physical or sexual abuse where a member of the student's immediate family or
household is suspected of being the perpetrator of or a conspirator in such abuse, and where
the police investigator is a representative of a special unit trained to do such interviews.
c. In any case in which a student is in custody and being questioned regarding involvement in a
criminal matter and in which the student's Fifth Amendment protection against self-
incrimination may apply, the law enforcement officer should consider the environment in
which questioning takes place and the ability of the student to discontinue the questioning.
Unless unreasonable to do so, the law enforcement officer should notify the principal or his
designee when such questioning becomes custodial in nature. Questioning becomes "custodial
in nature" when a law enforcement officer is conducting an interview and the party being
interviewed is not free to leave the presence of the officer.
d. Before the police commence the questioning or interrogation of a minor on school premises, the
principal shall make a substantial effort to contact the student's parent(s) or guardian(s) to
provide them an opportunity to be present or consult an attorney. Such contact is particularly
important in the case of students below the high school level. Questioning or interrogation
without such parental contact should only proceed when one or more of the following
conditions exist:
(1) The contact may endanger the safety of students or other persons.
(2) The contact would compromise the success of the investigation because a member of the
student's immediate family or household is suspected of being a perpetrator or
conspirator or potential conspirator to a crime, or the delay caused by lack of contact
would compromise the success of the investigation and a substantial effort has been
made to contact the student's parent(s) or guardian(s) without success.
The police should ensure that the student is afforded all constitutional rights due in such a situation.
e. School officials may request the arresting officer remove the student from the premises as soon
as possible, after the arrest is made.
5. SEARCH AND SEIZURE
a. Law enforcement officers, in reliance upon probable cause that a crime is, has, or is about to
be committed, may search for evidence of that crime. Whenever reasonable, a search warrant
issued by a court of competent jurisdiction will be sought before a search is conducted. As a
general policy, and when agreed upon to do so, a school official will accompany the law
enforcement officer on searches that are conducted on school property. School officials will
not participate in the actual search unless specifically requested to do so by the police.
b. Efforts should be made by police and school administrators to conduct searches in a manner
that will minimize disruption of the normal school routine and will minimize embarrassment
to pupils affected.
c. A frisk (pat-down) may be conducted by the police when the officer has reason to believe that
the person being encountered is armed or presents a risk of injury to the officer or an innocent
third party.
2
Page 37
d. The principal or designee may, at any time, conduct such searches as are essential to the
safety, security, discipline, and sound administration of the particular school. The appropriate
police agency will respond to a request from a school official conducting an administrative
search when the official feels that the search might reveal a violation of the law.
6. REPORTING CRIMES
School officials are charged with the responsibility to provide for the safety of students and for
the security of school property. The Delaware Code mandates reporting of the offenses listed in
14 Del.C., § 4112; a substantial fine can be assessed against any superintendent, principal, or
school employee who fails to make such a mandatory report.
7. SCHOOL DISTURBANCES
a. The request for police assistance in a crisis situation requires special care because of the
possibility of an escalating situation.
(1) It is preferable that the principal or designee call the police. If a law enforcement officer
is on the scene, it is desirable that the decision to call for additional police support be
reached in collaboration with that officer.
(2) No person other than the principal or designee, the superintendent of the district or his
designee, or the ranking police officer present may request the tactical deployment of
police to a school.
(3) The determination of the level of force required is best made by the ranking police officer
on the scene, working jointly with the principal or designee.
b. The Board of Education/Directors must recognize that any policy governing the use of these
different categories of Police Officers must be flexible and that final authority rests with the
police.
c. Tactical coordination between the Principal or designee and police officers on the scene is a
necessity. During any crisis situation, it will be the responsibility of the ranking police officer
on the scene to ensure that direct, secure, continuing communication with the principal or
designee is maintained.
8. SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
a. General Description
The School Resource Officer (SRO) assignment is in a middle or high school setting with the
goal of creating and maintaining a safe, secure, and orderly environment for students, teachers,
and staff. A SRO represents a proactive strategy designed to bring crime prevention and

requirements regarding juvenile investigation, detention, and arrest. Assist in developing and
updating school Emergency Preparedness Plans. Maintain a safe and secure school
environment by keeping abreast of elements and incidents that may threaten the safety of the

bullying. Be a positive role model and mentor to the school community and present a positive
image to better enhance communication with students, staff, and parents. Receive information
from Principal/Designee and conduct an investigation to determine if incident requires
mandated reporting. Maintain logs of participation in school activities and of criminal
investigations conducted.

excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Must possess excellent time management
and organizational skills and be self-motivated with little direct guidance and supervision.

Principal, shall provide an introduction and awareness program/presentation on the School
Resource Officer (SRO) Program. The program attendees shall include students, staff, parents,
and school community members. The role and responsibilities of the SRO and the topics of
force, equipment, and expectations for application and use are required.

Bid from MauTiste Investment Group
REFERENCE: N/A

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A
AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A
TIMETABLE: Complete land transaction as soon as possible after Council authorization.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to accept the offers from MauTiste Investment
Group in the amount of $8,000 for 29 S. Governors Avenue and $18,000 for 749 W. North Street and write-off
the remaining expenses and charges in the combined amount of $17,718.35 for these properties.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of Dover acquired the above referenced properties at a monition sale due to liens for taxes and demolition
expenses. These properties were deemed as excess properties and the City Manager was authorized to dispose of the
subject properties using the “Standard Method of Disposition” in July 2015. These properties were placed up for public
bid by the City’s Purchasing Agent in September 2015. Staff placed a minimum bid on the properties at $12,500 and
$25,000 respectively in an attempt to recover most of the city’s costs associated with the properties. No bids were
received. On April 12, 2016, the City of Dover received the attached unsolicited offer to purchase the two (2) referenced
properties at 29 S. Governors Avenue and 749 W. North Street.
If the offers from the MauTiste Investment Group are accepted, we would need to write off a portion of the City’s costs
for demolition and the other charges. A summary of the write-off amount is as follows, based on the offer from the
MauTiste Investment Group and the City’s expenses & charges.

Total $ 26,000 $ 17,718.35
The Assistant City Solicitor, Mr. William Pepper, indicated that City Council must act on the unsolicited offer since the
City Manager was authorized to dispose of the properties using the “Standard Method of Disposition”. An unsolicited
offer is not within the “Standard Method of Disposition”. The City Manager recommends acceptance of the offers from
the MauTiste Investment Group. Acceptance of the offers will include authorization to write-off of $17,718.35 of
expenses that will be unrecoverable upon acceptance of the offers.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Whatcoat Community Development, Inc. is proposing the revitalization of Whatcoat Village, 992 Whatcoat
Village Drive, Dover, Delaware. This revitalization project intends “to cause the substantial rehabilitation of
the existing improvements on the Land and cause them to be operated as an apartment complex for low and
moderate income persons pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. Whatcoat Community
Development, Inc. is an entity described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and has a charitable mission of
providing affordable housing opportunities to families and individuals of low income. The property consists of
seventy-eight (78) rent restricted, apartment units. The project is exempt from taxation and assessment pursuant
to 9 Del. C. Section 8105.
The property owner has applied for property tax exemption and the Board of Assessment Appeals has
recommended the granting of the property tax exemption based on the recommendation of the City Solicitors.
The assessed value of the property is currently $4,186,800. This equates to property tax levy of $16,956.54.
The draft agreement proposes a PILOT payment of $9,000 per year to receive certain public services.
