8. REAL PROPERTY PURCHASED, OWNED, OR LEASED FOR THE USE AND
BENEFIT OF MDENT:

 a. If any real property is purchased by one of the participating agencies on behalf
 of MDENT to be used as office space or any other MDENT purpose, such
 purchase will be paid for with Operating Account funds.

 b. Any real property so purchased, donated, or leased for the use and benefit of
 MDENT as office space or other MDENT use, will be maintained with
 Operating Account funds. The Control Board shall have the oversight and
 responsibility of making the timely loan, lease, or other payments on the
 property, paying for all repairs and improvements, utilities, taxes, fees,
 insurance, and all other costs associated with the real property including any
 improvements thereto and/or appurtenances thereof. If at any time there are
 insufficient funds in the Operating Account for these expenses when due, such
 expenses will be shared by the participating local agencies in MDENT at the
 time such expenses are incurred. Each local agency will be responsible and
 liable for an amount equal to the amount of the shortfall divided by the
 number of local agency officers assigned to MDENT multiplied by the
 number of officers each local agency has assigned at the time of the shortfall.

 c. If any real property owned for the use and benefit of MDENT is sold, the
 proceeds shall either be used to secure other office space for MDENT or
 placed in the Operating Account.

 benefit of MDENT shall be sold. The proceeds will be placed in the
 Operating Account and the funds will be handled as set forth in paragraph
 number nine (9) of this MOU.

will ensure that all applicable financial responsibilities of MDENT are paid from the
Operating Account. Any remaining balance in the Operating Account after all financial
responsibilities are met, excluding any federal funds, shall be distributed to the local
agencies participating in MDENT at the time of its dissolution. If there are insufficient
funds in the Operating Account to satisfy all financial responsibilities or liabilities, any
remaining financial responsibilities and liabilities will be divided among these same local
agencies. The formula for the distribution of assets or liabilities shall be the total
applicable amount divided by the number of local agency officers assigned to MDENT
multiplied by the number of officers each local agency has assigned at the time of
dissolution.

10. SALARY, BENEFIT, AND OVERTIME REIMBURSEMENT:

 a. Reimbursement to local agencies for officers assigned to MDENT will be
 made for base salary and benefits as set by the Policy Board, but such

 4


 Page | 32 of
 reimbursement shall not exceed $28,000. Unless specifically authorized by
 grant award, reimbursement will not be made for overtime earned by officers
 assigned to MDENT.

 submission of applicable documentation to the grantee in an amount not to
 exceed the limit set by the Policy Board.

 e. Any AHIDTA overtime funds awarded for compensation shall be reimbursed
 in accordance with the policies and guidelines of that program.

11. FORFEITURES: Forfeitures will be administratively processed pursuant to the
following terms:

 a. Forfeitures may be utilized as approved by the Control Board to meet
 MDENT’s stated purpose.

 b. The participating Federal Agencies do not receive any share of assets secured
 by direct forfeiture or by an “open bid” sale in most state and local cases. In
 any case where a Federal Agency elects to receive a share of the forfeiture, the
 Federal Agency will process the forfeiture pursuant to federal guidelines. It
 shall be the responsibility of each participating local agency that desires to
 seek a portion of the federally forfeited property to complete a United States
 Department of Justice DAG-71 Application for Transfer of Federally
 Forfeited Property. If a Federal Agency processes the forfeiture, then the
 provisions of subparagraph (f.) of this paragraph eleven (11) do not apply.

 c. Forfeitures conveyed to local agencies through equitable sharing or pursuant
 to a completed DAG-71 are to be utilized for law enforcement purposes only,
 consistent with federal and Policy Board forfeiture guidelines.

 d. Real or personal property forfeited to MDENT that cannot be directly used to
 meet the stated purpose of MDENT will either be sold by an “open bid”
 process or disposed of in a manner approved by the Control Board in
 accordance with established federal and Policy Board guidelines for such
 forfeitures. Any monies secured by the sale of such property that are not
 processed federally will be deposited in the Operating Account, as required by
 subparagraph (e.) of this paragraph eleven (11).



 5


 Page | 33 of
 e. Cash, either directly forfeited or secured by the sale of real or personal
 property, that are not processed federally will be maintained in the Operating
 Account until spent for MDENT purposes or distributed to the local agencies
 consistent with this paragraph. The Policy Board sets a required minimum
 percentage of forfeited funds, less administrative costs, that must be used to
 cover the day-to-day operations of a drug task force during each grant award
 period. For the term of this MOU the Policy Board has MDENT’s minimum
 percentage at forty (40) percent. The Policy Board also permits each drug
 task force to establish a percentage greater than the set minimum. As of
 January 1, 2003, the Control Board established a minimum of fifty (50)
 percent of all monies secured as a result of forfeitures, after administrative
 costs have been removed, be held in the Operating Account to be used for
 day-to-day operations, with the remaining fifty (50) percent to be distributed
 among the local agencies as consistent with subparagraph (f.) of this
 paragraph eleven (11).

 f. Forfeited funds that are not processed by a Federal Agency shall be distributed
 as follows:

 1. 50% of all such non-federal forfeited funds, after payment of any
 administrative costs, shall be deposited in the Operating Fund. The
 remaining amount will be distributed to each local agency participating at
 the time of the seizure by dividing the total applicable amount by the
 number of local agency officers assigned to MDENT at the time of the
 seizure multiplied by the number of officers each local agency has
 assigned at the time of the seizure, not including any offers assigned to the
 Interdiction Team.

 2. For seizures made by the Interdiction Team, 50% of all such non-federal
 forfeited funds, after payment of any administrative costs, shall be
 deposited in the MDENT Operating Fund. The remaining amount will be
 distributed to each local agency which have officers assigned to the
 Interdiction Team at the time of the seizure by dividing the total applicable
 amount by the number of officers assigned to the Interdiction Team at the
 time of the seizure multiplied by the number of officers each local agency
 has assigned to the Interdiction Team at the time of the seizure.


12. PROTOCOL FOR INTERACTION WITH THE NEWS MEDIA:

 a. The Control Board shall set policy and procedures for media releases and/or
 press conferences.

 b. All media releases shall be made in the name of MDENT. Each release shall
 name all of the participating agencies.



 6


 Page | 34 of
 c. Unless special circumstances exist, individual MDENT officers will not be
 identified or photographed.

 d. No information about MDENT operations or individual investigations will be
 released to the media until approved by the official with applicable
 prosecutorial authority.

 1. If jurisdiction involves a federal prosecution, the United States
 Attorney of the Southern District of West Virginia must approve any
 release of information to the media.

 2. If jurisdiction involves a state prosecution, the Prosecuting Attorney in
 the county where the case will be prosecuted must approve any release
 of information to the media.

13. REPLACEMENT/REMOVAL OF OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO MDENT:

 a. All employing agencies will allow officers assigned to MDENT to complete
 all material assignments prior to the officer’s removal from, or replacement
 on, MDENT, unless conditions involving willful misconduct or other
 extenuating circumstances exist which would adversely affect MDENT
 operations and/or reputation if such removal is delayed.

 b. If any MDENT officer engages in misconduct, conduct unbecoming an
 officer, or any activity which requires an administrative investigation to
 determine the propriety of disciplinary action, the employing agency shall be
 solely responsible for any and all disciplinary action. The Task Force
 Commander shall immediately notify the Control Board members and the
 employing agency of any such behavior of which he or she becomes aware.
 Notwithstanding, the Control Board may remove any officer from MDENT
 upon reasonable belief that the officer engaged in misconduct, conduct
 unbecoming, or any other improper behavior or of activities. The employing
 agency shall be notified of any decision by the Control Board to remove an
 assigned officer and the employing agency may submit the name of a
 replacement officer for the Control Board’s consideration and approval.

14. LIABILITY AND INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS:

 a. Each employing agency shall be solely responsible for the negligent acts,
 omissions, and/or wrongdoing of its officers, whether alleged or established,
 and for any and all claims of liability related thereto. As between the parties to
 this MOU, unless otherwise agreed in writing, each employing agency shall
 be solely responsible for defending against any claim against its officer, and
 for payment of any and all resulting fees, costs, or damages related thereto.

 b. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no employing agency shall be responsible
 for defending against or paying for any civil liability arising out of negligent
 acts, omissions, and/or wrongdoing of officers or other personnel assigned to

 MDENT from another employing agency. For the purpose of this MOU, civil
 liability includes, but is not limited to, damages of any kind, attorney fees, and
 any and all costs and/or expenses incident to any civil lawsuit or
 administrative claim filed by any person, business, corporation, partnership
 organization, or government entity, or otherwise related to any administrative

 officer/employee’s vehicle and claims resulting from the assigned
 officer/employee’s operation thereof, regardless of which agency actually

 responsible for insuring, defending against and paying every claim or civil
 liability arising out of the conduct of its officer/employee, regardless of where
