Trees Planted as Stream Buffer
Volunteers planted 200 trees in Derry Township on Wednesday in support of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Keystone 10 Million Tree Partnership.
The trees were planted at the Evangelical Free Church of Hershey located at 330 Hilltop Road. The Derry Township Municipal Authority organized the project as a first step in the process for Derry Township to reach its pollution reduction goals under its MS4 permit. The trees will filter and absorb runoff to reduce pollution from entering our waterways.
The Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership is a collaborative effort of national, regional, state, and local agencies, conservation organizations, outdoors enthusiasts, businesses, and citizens committed to improving Pennsylvania’s communities, economy, and ecology.
The Partnership aims to facilitate the planting of 10 million new trees in priority landscapes in Pennsylvania by the end of 2025.
A big thanks to the 20 volunteers that assisted with the planting despite the rain.

Dr. Jeffery Long Delivers Message Know Thy Neighbor: Cultivating a Community of Respect
Differences can divide a community without a willingness to understand, accept, and welcome one another.
Dr. Jeffery Long, Professor of Religion and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College was the presenter at the March Hershey All Things Diversity session held at The Hershey Story. Dr. Long encouraged us to “know thy neighbor.”
He explained that intolerance is a form of violence. “Differences are not a reason to treat others badly.” He quoted Thomas Jefferson and emphasized that someone believing differently from one’s self does not hurt anything. “Why do we care if others believe differently,” he asked.
Conflict is a serious issue that arises when there is a lack of understanding. He urged us to talk to members of the community who are different from us. Ask them questions in a friendly, non-opinionated manner to gain knowledge.

Township Takes Steps to Secure Current Interest Rates for Future Borrowing for the New
Hershey Community Center
The Derry Township Board of Supervisors has been strategizing with Public Financial Management Financial Advisors and RBC Capital Markets on funding for a new Hershey Community Center. This week, the Board adopted Ordinance 703 authorizing general obligation bonds to be issued in the amount of $25,000,000 in late spring/summer 2019. Resolution 1549 authorizing a Cash Settlement Hedge for $25,000,000 to terminate no later than June 1, 2019 was also adopted.
In the Cash Settlement Hedge, if interest rates go higher than the current rate, the Township will receive a payment to offset the higher rates. If interest rates go lower than the secured swap rate, the Township will make a payment, but will issue fixed rate bonds at a lower interest rate. The cash settlement can be terminated prior to June 1, 2019.

Derry Township Community Cats (DTCC), a program created in December, 2012 to humanely reduce the outdoor cat population in Derry Township, celebrated the neutering of its 1,000th cat on January 23, 2018. The surgery was performed by Dr. Audrey Hoffman of the Animal Health Care Center of Hershey.
DTCC’s program humanely traps free-roaming cats, neuters and vaccinates them, and returns them to the area where they were found. DTCC is a non-profit volunteer organization that has partnered with the Derry Township Board of Supervisors and Police Department to prevent the breeding of free-roaming cats to control the outdoor cat population. The service is free to Derry Township residents.
DTCC also takes kittens that are adoptable to local rescues. Volunteers handle young kittens regularly to socialize them to people. The kittens receive medical
exams, are tested for diseases and parasites, are given vaccines, are spayed/neutered and are offered for adoption. The costs are covered through donations received by DTCC.
More information about DTCC can be obtained at

InstructionsBack-In Angled Parking Has Been Installed on Chocolate Avenue
Downtown Hershey now has a new parking option. Back-in angled parking can be found near 11 East Chocolate Avenue, the location for the new MeltSpa by Hershey.
Back-in angled parking offers several benefits to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. It eliminates the difficulty of backing into traffic that is present with pull-in angled parking, provides motorists with better vision of bicyclists, pedestrians, and other vehicles, and also improves safety when loading and unloading cargo and helping children in and out of car seats. With back-in angled parking, open car doors direct young children toward a point of safety rather than out into the street.
Back-in requires a motorist to signal prior to the space, stop just past the space, and then slowly back in until the vehicle reaches the curb.
See the information on back-in angled parking in the following links:

PPL to Replace Power Lines in Derry TownshipPPL Electric Utilities has started work to rebuild two transmission lines to improve the reliability of electric services to the region. The first line runs from a PPL substation near Route 322 to Shank Park and continues toward a PPL substation near the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The second line runs from the PPL substation near Route 322 by Shank Park and ends at the substation in Elizabethtown.
The wooden poles and wires will be replaced with taller steel poles and new wires that are more resistant to strong wind and storms. The work on the two lines will be staggered in order to ensure ongoing service to all of the customers in the area and will occur through 2018.
Questions on the project can be directed to the project team at 717-560-2436.

Design Standards Adopted for the Downtown Core
A supplemental Ordinance on Design Standards was adopted on the same night that the Zoning Ordinance was adopted, implementing minimum design standards for alterations to properties within the Downtown Core Zoning District.
Design guidelines and review requirements have been in place since 1993 under the Chocolate Avenue Preservation District. The new Ordinance revised the prior guidelines to make them more enforceable and easier for property owners to understand. Also, 1- and 2-family dwellings that are within the Downtown Core Zoning District, but are not located on Chocolate Avenue, are exempt from the Design Standards. The standards ensure that future development and alterations to properties within the Downtown Core Zoning District along Chocolate Avenue, and commercial properties elsewhere within the Downtown Core Zoning District, are designed in a manner that is consistent with surrounding uses.
A Downtown Core Design Board will replace the Design Advisory Board and will be responsible for reviewing applications for alterations to properties in the Downtown Core Zoning District. New construction and demolition projects will also be reviewed by the Design Board; however, comments on these types of projects would be advisory in nature, and the Board of Supervisors will have final approval.

Waste Management is Awarded Three-Year ContractServices for the collection of municipal solid waste and recyclables were bid and three proposals were received and opened on February 15, 2017. The bid included options for the collection of electronics and an incentive based recycling program. Two of the companies provided a bid for both of the options. The prices for the collection of electronics were $425,124, or $3.75 per quarter and $476,138, or $5.88 per quarter. Currently, residents can take electronics to the Dauphin County Recycling Center free of charge. The Department of Environmental Protection does not allow electronics to be collected at the Recycling Center.
The prices for the incentive based recycling program were $1.20 and $1.89 per quarter. The last contract was awarded five years ago. In an effort to achieve the lowest quarterly fee, the contract was awarded on the base bid. Services for the collection of electronic waste and an incentive based recycling program will not be included at this time. The Township will explore other options.
Waste Management submitted the lowest bid of $5,311,242.72. The quarter residential fee is $63.90 per quarter. The pay as you throw program is $4.50 per bag. The three-year contract may be extended for two additional one-year terms.
Friendly Reminder on Pet Waste Etiquette

Laudermilch Road Bridge to be Replaced in 2018
Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) held an informational meeting this week on plans for the Laudermilch Road Bridge to be replaced as part of PennDOT’s Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. The Laudermilch Road bridge was built in 1917 is deteriorating and structurally deficient. PWKP will finance, design, construct and maintain 558 bridges throughout the Commonwealth for a 28-year term.
The bridge, which provides a crossing over the Norfolk Southern Railroad, is scheduled to be replaced in April, 2018. Construction is anticipated to take place over six months. Motorists will be detoured to Lingle Avenue during the project.
The new bridge will be 90-feet long and will include two 12-ft. lanes and 4′ shoulders with a new innovative application called Polyester Polymer Concrete Overlay to protect the bridge deck from the infiltration of deicing salts to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
More information on the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project and an up-to-date schedule as the project progresses can be viewed at www.parapidbridges.com.
Don’t Forget to Register Your BikeTownship residents are reminded and encouraged to register their bicycles and pedalcycles with the Township as required by Ordinance. Registration not only helps to identify the owner of bikes when they are found, lost or stolen, but also assists emergency responders in identifying a bike owner following an accident or mishap.
Bike registration forms and licenses are available at the Township Administration Building and the Recreation Center during business hours, or at the Derry Township Police Department 24-hours a day. The cost of the license is $1.00 per bike and the fee is used towards the maintenance of the Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Trail.
Is Your Township Based Business or Residential Security Alarm Registered with the DTPD?
The Derry Township Police Department recommends that all business and residential property owners who equip their property with alarm systems register their emergency contact information with the PD. Having the necessary contact information for alarm holders is critical during alarm activations when Public Safety personnel must alert the business, or residential property owners of situations that require their attention.
Individuals can register their information on the Police Department’s website, www.derrypd.com, or by completing the attached form and faxing it to 717-533-4857.
Can We Get in Touch With You in the Event of an Emergency
Sign up for the Township’s emergency notification system. Click here to register. It’s important for the Township to be able to inform you of an emergency situation and to provide you with warnings, instructions, and information. Please provide your address because the system allows us to target specific geographic areas that are affected during an emergency.
Shrubs, Trees and Vegetation Care
We are asking all homeowners to make sure that shrubs, trees and vegetation are trimmed so that it is not on streets, alleys and sidewalks. Waste Management encounters many alleys that are difficult to access to collect trash and recycling because of trees and hedges growing into the alleys.
Trees should be trimmed so that there is a 12′ clearance above the curb and roadway. Shrubs and vegetation must be trimmed completely back so that nothing is on the surface of the road. Sidewalks must also be clear of vegetation and trees need to have 12′ clearance above the sidewalk as well. Please check and make sure that your property is in compliance with the township’s code. This will be of assistance in providing the best possible trash collection, snow removal, street sweeping, leaf removal and emergency services to you.
Community Event Announcements
