funding is needed to provide an additional $200,000 for utility relocations and related costs on the project. The
contractor encountered a number of direct utility conflicts that have disrupted the project. Staff is requesting
introduction and adoption in order to restore access and delivery routes to the adjacent businesses as soon as

appropriation to an existing project being constructed by J.H. Berra Construction Co. Staff is requesting an
additional $1,300,000 to complete construction due to the addition of work to the project that would have been

proposed development near Olive Boulevard and I-170.
There was a brief discussion later in the meeting between staff and the committee regarding the number of new
developments along Olive Boulevard in Olivette and University City. Mr. Unverferth discussed staff’s ability to plan
and provide for changes in land use and coordinating with planned MSD projects and the responsibilities of the
Developer.
Ordinance Nos. 15469 and 15470 – Staff provided details of CSO Volume Reduction Green Infrastructure annual
appropriations for funding green infrastructure construction. The purpose of this work is to reduce combined sewer
overflows to the Mississippi River and River Des Peres as a requirement of the Consent Decree. Staff provided a

Infrastructure Small Grants program at a later meeting.

easement acquisition on 9 parcels of ground on two separate projects. Staff continues to coordinate with the

condemnation, with the exception of one parcel.

Comments by the Executive Director:
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Trustees, I want to take a few minutes to share some good news and to remind everyone of MSD’s role, as part of
the fight against the current coronavirus pandemic.
First, The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, has awarded the
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to MSD for its comprehensive annual financial
report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of
recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting and its attainment represents a
significant accomplishment by the District and its management.
Edited 9/4/20 Pg. 4
I would like to congratulate the Accounting Department staff and all who supported them in the accomplishment of
this significant achievement.
Second, as a wastewater and stormwater utility, MSD is defined as an Essential Service. Our Essential Services
fall into two major categories;
First is the operation, maintenance, and management of our wastewater and stormwater systems. Management
and staff have put processes and procedures into place that have allowed us to maintain a safe workplace while
providing this essential service. Some of the changes include;
• Work-at-home workplaces,
• Staggered start and finish times at our field facilities to de-densify the workplace,
• The use of full-time disinfection resources at all facilities,
• Temperature checks at all facilities,
• Isolation and quarantining of employees who may have been exposed to the coronavirus,
• The use of masks indoors and outdoors when appropriate and needed,
• Weekly updated COVID-19 communications to all employees, and other provisions.
To date, these actions have resulted in zero instances of infection transmission at the workplace. For all
employees, we have also awarded extra Floating Holidays for next year as well as an accelerated vacation buy-
back program to provide some economic assistance to those who wish to take advantage of it.
The second essential service MSD provides is our Capital program. MSD’s ability to maintain our capital program
not only keeps us in compliance with our consent decree but, provides economic opportunity and support to the
workers and companies impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. I also want to briefly mention our Diversity
Program to demonstrate the breadth of the impact of our Capital Program.
Annually, 30 % of all construction payments or $50M, go to minority and women businesses. The workforce on
these projects are 30% minorities and 7% women. Our efforts to also offer future opportunities has resulted in 70-
80% of all apprentice hours being worked by minority or woman workers. The engineering work we contract for is
even more impressive, with 40% of all payments, or $15-20M per year, going to minority or woman businesses.
As the Board knows, we are scheduled to complete a 5-year update of our Disparity Study and have already
began coordinating with the signatories to our Community Benefits Agreement to assure their full participation.
At this time, I would like to turn the floor over to Vice Chairman, Trustee Faul.
Trustee Faul shared that he has submitted his voluntary resignation to his position as Board Trustee. Trustee Faul
shared that his term is ending, and he wanted to allow the appointing authority time to find an adequate
replacement. Trustee Faul then shared;
“I’m humbled by what the men and women of MSD do to keep the lives of all men, women and children of
the St. Louis area safe and healthy. I have been amazed by the amount of work performed to help people live
sanitary lives and to offer living wage jobs to those who are full time employees and who work the capital and
support programs. It’s amazing! I think MSD is a real Jewel of the coordinated government of the region and
operates itself with a great deal of respect and thoughtfulness for the community it serves. I’m honored to say a
good friend of mine is being appointed to take my position and I hope all of you find him to be a dedicated servant
and cares about the system as much as I do. It has been a true honor to work with MSD and I thank you very
much”.
The Executive Director announced that MSD was informed, by the Mayor’s office, the name of the new
replacement effective August 14, 2020; Mike Evans. Mike is in the audience tonight to watch and get a feel for
what we do. The Executive Director then asked Mr. Evans to stand and be recognized. The Executive Director
noted that Mr. Evans would be joining us in September and the first point of business of the Committee Meeting is
to swear Mr. Evans in. Trustee Yates then thanked Trustee Faul for his commitment to the Board and all of his
hard work over the years.
