The minutes of the January 6, 2015 meeting were approved. Staff presented the reports for two Internal Audit engagements. The first engagement titled “Review of the Claims Administration Process” involved a review of the overall procedures to process and manage claims submitted against the District. The engagement included a review of the performance of the third-party service provider Corporate Claims Management and the District’s procedures used to monitor the contractor’s performance. Pg. 2 The second engagement titled “Review of Electric Utilities” involved a review of electricity costs and usage at the District’s treatment plant sites at Bissell Point and Lemay. The main objective of the engagement was to identify opportunities for cost reduction or increased efficiency. Staff presented and explained the scope, objectives and methodology used for each engagement. Each engagement received a satisfactory rating, as no significant issues were identified for either engagement. Each engagement resulted in the identification of two Opportunities for Improvement. Questions were addressed by Staff as they were received from the Committee. The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:00 am.

The minutes of the December 30, 2014 meeting were approved. The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items: Item 30 – CSO Volume Reduction Green Infrastructure – Staff provided information for an additional appropriation related to a cost share agreement with the Bridge Hope Community Church to build green infrastructure improvements. After acceptance into the grant program and during final design, a site survey was conducted which defined a larger drainage area than anticipated, which results in additional improvements being necessary. This along with the implementation of prevailing wage requirements necessitates an additional appropriation. Staff responded to questions regarding the increase in project scope and the addition of the prevailing wage requirement. Staff indicated that the increase in the size of the improvements required is appropriate and will result in additional CSO volume reduction. Staff went on to add that the addition of the prevailing wage requirement is based upon a recent legal interpretation. Item 33 – Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEP) Program – Staff provided details for the additional appropriation to fund the SEP program as required by the District’s consent decree. Staff went on to explain that a majority of the work related to this program will be bid under purchasing rules related to the small contractor program. If a larger construction project is required, an agenda item will be presented to the Board for consideration. We are required to read that, “This project was undertaken in connection with the settlement of an enforcement action, United States, State of Missouri, and the Missouri Coalition for the Environment Foundation v. Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, No. 4:07-CV-01120-CEJ, taken on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the State, and the Coalition under the Clean Water Act.” Items 38 & 39 – Condemnations Rights Related to Providence Sanitary Relief and Vinita Drive Sanitary Relief – Staff presented information related to two projects that may require condemnation to secure the necessary property rights. Staff indicated that while each of the agenda items includes four properties, agreements had been reached with several of the owners already and the agenda items may be pulled if resolved prior to the Board meeting. Bissell & Lemay WWTP Incinerator Scrubber Replacement – Staff informed the Board that all bids related to this project have been rejected for failure to meet MBE utilization requirements. The project will be re-bid with a mandatory pre-bid to discuss the MBE requirements. Staff went on to add that due to the schedule requirements of this project, a request for introduction and adoption will be made at a future meeting. Staff responded to questions around methods of enforcement of the MBE requirements. Staff agreed to provide the final Fiscal Year 2014 statistics at a later date. The meeting was adjourned at 8:47 a.m. The next Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Pg. 3 Ms. Bonner reported that the Finance Committee met on February 3, 2015.

Mr. Richard Marra from Pavilion, the District's pension investment advisor, provided a status of MSD's pension portfolio as of December 31, 2014. The Plan underperformed its benchmark during the fourth quarter, reporting a decline of -0.4% while the Policy Benchmark reported a gain of 0.3%. On a one year basis, the Plan reported a gain of 2.9% lagging the Policy Benchmark by 40 basis points. The current asset allocation was within investment policy targets. Capital Plan Funding Update. Revenue Bonds will not be needed in FY15. Portfolio Update. Tim Snoke reported on the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of January 2015. The portfolio is in compliance with the District’s investment policy. General Insurance Fund - Resolution #3193. This resolution authorizes the staff to transfer fund balance and appropriated funds to the General Insurance Fund. Other Committee Business: The quarterly December 2014 Adjustment Review Committee report was accepted into the record as required by ordinance. Theresa Bellville reported on the current financial condition of the District indicating it continues to be financially stable and current projections indicate the District will be under budget for Fiscal Year 2015. Performance Evaluation Process for Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer. Vicki Edwards explained the performance evaluation process that is currently being used at the District for all employees under the direction of the Executive Director. Two options were presented to the Board to consider in assessing the Executive Director and the Secretary-Treasurer positions annually. The selections consisted of the District creating an additional level within the current performance management structure or using the external consultant that currently provides leadership assessments for the District to produce a performance evaluation working in conjunction with the Board. The Committee decided the District staff will produce new evaluation forms specifically for these two positions and will present next month for additional discussion. The meeting adjourned at 10:07 a.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. This concludes the Finance Committee Report. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mr. Faul reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met on January 15, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Berry, Bonner, Yates, Mandel and Faul. The first agenda item was a discussion by Lance LeComb regarding year 4 of a contract for the Project Clear public engagement and communications consultant. StandPoint Public Affairs is currently under contract for these services. StandPoint's contract is for 3 years and staff is requesting the contract be extended an additional year, covering fiscal year to 2016. 2016 will be the last year that a consultant is required at the current dollar level. In conjunction with the addition of internal staff, 2017 and beyond will call for a lower level of consultant support for the Project Clear public engagement initiative. Staff believes that extending StandPoint’s contract 1 year will lead to a more productive handling of the communications issues facing MSD over the next 18 months; and allow for a more competitive procurement process when an RFP is issued for the next phase of these services. After several questions by the committee covering specific communications issues facing the District, the contract’s minority and women participation goals, and the process by which this recommendation would formally be enacted, the Board concurred with the recommendation. However, there is no Board action required at this time. In June, staff will bring a proposed ordinance before the committee that extends StandPoint’s contract through fiscal year 2016. The next item on the Agenda was a discussion by Susan Myers regarding a contract for Real Property Acquisition Consultant services. The District followed its Request for Proposal (RFP) process and received proposals from (3) firms which were reviewed by committee. The committee selected O.R. Colan Associates, Inc. based on the completeness of their proposal, demonstrated experience and knowledge and the District's Pg. 4 positive experience working with the firm and their acquisition management plan. No appropriations are necessary under this proposed Ordinance in that the acquisition, relocation and conveyance services will be included as a part of the proposed Ordinance for funding each specific acquisition or conveyance project. Staff responded to Board questions regarding the 100% WBE status of O. R. Colan and their minority and woman workforce as reported in their proposal. It was concurred by all Board members present to introduce the Ordinance at the February 2015 Board Meeting. The final item on the Agenda was a discussion regarding the scheduling of District Committee Meetings. Staff reviewed the Board of Trustees governing procedures and establishment of Committees and related meetings as adopted in Resolution No. 2941 and as currently practiced by the Board. The Board of Trustees has asked for staff's opinion on the current scheduling of these meetings and proposed changes to the day and start time of these meetings. Through committee discussion, the following changes and schedule was proposed: A. All Committee Meetings to be scheduled on the same day, nine (9) days before the regularly scheduled District Board Meeting B. The proposed start times for each individual committee meeting will be as follows: Audit 7:30a.m. Program Management 8:00a.m. Finance 9:00a.m. Stakeholder Relations 10:00a.m. C. Agendas for each Committee will be posted as usual as required by MO Sunshine Law D.

Draft Committee Reports for each meeting will be forwarded to all Board members two working days after the committee meetings F. Staff may adjust the actual scheduled durations of the committee meeting depending on the proposed content There were no further comments. The meeting was adjourned at 9:23a.m. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Executive Director had two items to report. First, Mr. Hoelscher asked that the Board take no action on Item Number 39 as staff has come to terms with all property holders related to this condemnation request and therefore the item will be removed and no action will be required. Second, Mr. Hoelscher asked that the Board consider Item Number 42 on tonight's Agenda prior to consideration of the Consent Agenda. The retiree being appreciated is in attendance tonight and Mr. Hoelscher would like the opportunity to have him recognized. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mr. Tony Lupinski of 1417 Eagles Way Court, Hazelwood MO and his wife Juanita presented before the Board their concerns of major erosion occurring in their neighborhood and are also representing other homeowners in their neighborhood. They feel this erosion is being caused by the incorrect installation of two (2) stormwater lines and feel MSD's specifications were not followed to plan. Mr. Lupinski indicated that he has been losing about a foot of property each year, along with shrubbery and trees, due to this erosion. He spoke with. Eugene Johnson, an Engineer in MSD's Planning - Development Review department, to obtain plans and information. For safety reasons, Mr. Lupinski is requesting that a remedy to this problem be considered in the budget and a possible retaining wall be built to halt further erosion. Mr. Hoelscher requested that Mr. Lupinski continue communications and information collection with Jonathon Sprague so that an evaluation can be made and a resolution, if any, be determined. Mr. Hoelscher ensured that follow up to this issue will continue and be reported on in upcoming meetings. Mr. Tom Sullivan, 35 N. Central, had two items to discuss. He expressed his concerns regarding the $4,200,000.00 appropriation request for the videotaping and assessment of sewers. Mr. Sullivan expressed his concerns over the need for this and previous similar appropriations and feels these projects have not solved on-going sewer problems. He also expressed concern about the District's intent to perform this type of work itself to save money, rather than hire outside contractors to perform these services. And lastly, he stated his appreciation for Pam Bell's service at the District and that he was sorry to learn of her Pg. 5 resignation. Ms. Vicki Taylor Edwards spoke before the Board regarding the appointment of a new Civil Service Commissioner. Ms. Edwards is requesting the Board consider the appointment of Annette Adams, a resident and registered voter of St. Louis County. Ms. Edwards detailed the rigorous process of soliciting and interviewing potential Commissioners and the panel involved in this process. Ms. Adams background and experience were considered along with 16 other candidates and the panel felt Ms. Adams was the best candidate to fill the vacated Commissioner position. Mr. Edwards has requested the Board consider the appointment of Ms. Adams. A motion was made and agreed by Board member. for this appointment. Mr. Edwin L. Dirck, upon recognition of his retirement after 22 years of service to the District, thanked the Trustees for their hard work and stated that MSD was a wonderful place to work with employees that do a tremendous job fulfilling their commitment to the community and caring about the residents. He enjoyed his years at the District very much. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CONSENT AGENDA ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORD.

LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH BRIDGE OF HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH FOR COST SHARING FOR CSO VOLUME REDUCTION GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE (12573), BY REPEALING SECTION ONE, AND ENACTING A NEW SECTION ONE IN LIEU THEREOF IN ORDER TO AMEND THE NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING. Proposed Ord. No. 14052 was presented and read. Ordinance No. 13980 was adopted on November 13, 2014 authorizing the District to enter into an agreement with the Bridge of Hope Community Church for cost sharing for construction of green infrastructure. Ordinance No. 13957, adopted on October 9, 2014, appropriated the funding for this project. The original conceptual cost estimate for the construction of green infrastructure was $110,000 as stated in Ordinance No. 13980. The church’s engineer has informed the District that they will need an additional $70,000 to accomplish the scope of work. After acceptance into the grant program and during the final design, a site survey was conducted which identified a larger drainage area Pg. 9 than anticipated in the conceptual design. Therefore, more runoff will be removed from the sewer system, but larger and more costly bioretention basins are required. In addition, the inclusion of prevailing wage requirements after agreement was completed added slightly to the increased costs. District staff has reviewed the revised cost estimate and concurs with the request for additional funds. Ordinance No. 13980 should be amended to provide for a fee not to exceed $180,000.
