Introduction
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer MSD (“MSD”) respectfully submits this Proposed
Rate Change to the Rate Commission for consideration according to Section 7.280.b of the
MSD’s Charter (“Plan”), as amended on November 7, 2000. This Proposed Rate Change
consists of the following documents:
1. Transmittal Letter to MSD Rate Commission – MSD Exhibit 2.1a
2. MSD Proposed Rate Change – MSD Exhibit 2.2
3. MSD Proposed Rate Change Appendix – MSD Exhibit 2.3
4. MSD Audited Financial Information as of June 30, 2007 – MSD Exhibit 2.4
5. MSD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) as of June 30, 2007 – MSD
Exhibit 2.5
6. Initial MSD Exhibit Index – MSD Exhibit 3.1
The MSD Exhibit Index from the prior Rate Change Process (beginning March 2,
2007) has been submitted with this Proposed Rate Change as supporting material
(MSD Exhibit 2.3b). In order to differentiate the prior index from the index
associated with the January 18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change, all rate deliberation
Exhibits begin with a prefix of 2. All administrative Exhibits begin with a prefix
of 3 and are contained on a separate index.
The MSD respectfully requests all documents resulting from the Rate Commission’s 2007
deliberations and related to the actions of the District’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) to date be
accepted as supporting material to the submitted Proposed Rate Change for purposes of this
deliberation. A complete Exhibit Index from the Rate Commission deliberations ending
August 13, 2007 and the journal of the above referenced Board action are included in the
Proposed Rate Change Appendix (MSD Exhibit 2.3) accompanying this document.
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 2
This Proposed Rate Change is in response to substantial input from customer advocacy
groups as presented to the Board after acknowledgement of the Rate Commission’s August 13,
2007 report on September 13, 2007 but prior to the adoption of any rate increases. Customer
concerns centered on the rate shock considered inherent in the wastewater and stormwater rate
increases as recommended by the Rate Commission on August 13, 2007. Based on these
customer concerns, this Proposed Rate Change proposes a mixture of debt and cash financing in
order to lower the wastewater rates and fund $661 million of wastewater capital improvements as
recommended in the Rate Commission August 13, 2007 Recommendation Report. This
Proposed Rate Change also proposes an adjustment to stormwater rates to lessen the short-term
impact of the transition to an impervious-based stormwater rate structure. The wastewater rates
proposed in this Proposed Rate Change are contingent upon the approval of additional revenue
bond authority by the qualified voters of the MSD. Pending the outcome of Rate Commission
consideration of this Proposed Rate Change, the MSD hopes to submit a ballot initiative for the
August 2008 election to request voter approval to issue an additional $275 million of wastewater
debt.
Per Section 7.280.f of the Plan, the Rate Commission has a maximum of 165 days from
date of receipt, in which to review this proposal. However, in order to provide the rate relief
requested by the customer advocacy groups, minimize a delay in the MSD’s ongoing efforts to
address wastewater and stormwater problems effecting St. Louis residents, and given the Rate
Commission’s familiarity with the recent rate change proceedings, the MSD respectively
requests this Proposed Rate Change be reviewed as expeditiously as possible in the hopes the
next set of wastewater and stormwater rates may be implemented on July 1, 2009 and January 1,
2009, respectively. Should the proposed bond initiative fail, the next wastewater rate increase
will take effect September 1, 2008 per the rate plan introduced by the Board on October 11,
2007. In order to implement the January 18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change, and place the bond
authorization request on the earliest reasonable ballot, the MSD respectfully requests a written
report of the Rate Commission’s recommendations be delivered to the Board of Trustees by
May 1, 2008 if at all possible.
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 3
Summary of Proposed Rate Change
The Proposed Rate Change is unchanged from that adopted by Board on December 13,
2007 except for two variables. It should be noted only the first wastewater and stormwater rate
increases of the rate plan introduced on October 11, 2007 were adopted. The effective date for
these adopted wastewater and stormwater rates is January 1, 2008 and March 1, 2008,
respectively, per MSD Ordinances #12561 and #12560. Should the bond initiative proposed in
this Proposed Rate Change fail, the remaining years of the October 11, 2007 rate plan, FY09
through FY14, will begin implementation with the second wastewater increase becoming
effective September 1, 2008, followed by the a stormwater rate increase on January 1, 2010.
Also on December 13, 2007, the Board instructed Staff to prepare and submit for Rate
Commission consideration a Proposed Rate Change using debt to partially fund the wastewater
improvement program in years FY09 through FY12 in order to relieve the wastewater and
stormwater rate shock concerns expressed by the customer advocacy groups. Staff was
instructed to submit this Proposed Rate Change to the Rate Commission as soon as practical.
This document represents the Proposed Rate Change submittal in accordance with the
Board action taken on December 13, 2007. This submittal consists of two separate documents,
the Proposed Rate Change and an accompanying Appendix. The two changes represented by the
Proposed Rate Change are as follows:
1. Use of $275 million in bonds. These bonds would be in addition to the MSD existing
$500 million in bonds for a total of $775 million.
Impact:
∗ Reduction in wastewater rates compared to the Board’s October 11, 2007 rate plan
(see Table C – Impact on Wastewater Rates, page 12 and Table E-1 and E-2 –
Impact on Average Monthly Bills, pages 14 and 15).
∗ Increase in debt service cost over the life of the bonds of $642 million (see Table
B – Summary of Change in Debt Service, page 11)
∗ Reduction of the currently available total MSD debt capacity from $900 million to
$625 million (assumes total MSD debt capacity of $1.4 billion.).
∗ Earliest possible bond election, contingent on a Rate Commission expedited
deliberation is August 2008.
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 4
(2) The extension of the wastewater subsidy funding of the stormwater program from two to
three years. The subsidy is eliminated by July 1, 2011.
Impact:
∗ Reduction in stormwater rates compared to the rate plan introduced by the Board
on October 11, 2007 (see Table D – Impact on Stormwater Rates, page 13 and
Tables E-1 and E-2 – Impact on Average Monthly Bills, pages 14 and 15).
Evolution of Rate Plan
The MSD submitted its initial rate proposal to the Rate Commission on March 2, 2007.
This proposal consisted of a 5-year series of wastewater and stormwater rate increases. The Rate
Commission reviewed the MSD’s proposal and those of the following interveners:
1. The Missouri Industrial Energy Consumers (“MIEC”);
2. The Missouri Energy Group (“MEG”);
3. The Monarch-Chesterfield Levee MSD (et.al.) (“The Levee Districts”);
4. AGC of St. Louis in conjunction with SITE Improvement Association (“AGC/SITE”);
5. Michael Cohen.
The Rate Commission delivered its recommendation to the Board on August 13, 2007 in
accordance within the maximum 165 review period provided by Section 7.280(f) of the Plan.
The Rate Commission’s recommendation was based on its deliberations of all proposals and
supporting material presented during the rate proceedings.
The Board acknowledged delivery of the Rate Commission Recommendation Report on
September 13, 2007, but took no formal action (see journal of Board, Appendix Section II).
Upon review of the Rate Commission Recommendation Report, the Board adjusted the
time frame of the proposed stormwater rate implementation from 5-years to 7-years, thereby
spreading the impact of the impervious-based stormwater rate increases on MSD customers over
two more years,
The Board formally introduced this adjusted rate plan at the October 11, 2007 meeting of
MSD Trustees (see journal of Board, Appendix Section II).
The Board formally adopted the first year only of wastewater and stormwater increases of
this adjusted rate plan at the December 13, 2007 meeting of MSD Trustees (see journal of Board,
Appendix Section II).
Throughout September 2007 through mid-January 2008, The Board heard from customer
advocacy groups not previously engaged in the Rate Commission proceedings. These groups
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 5
included AARP and ACORN. Interveners MIEC and MEG also approached the Board with
concerns. These discussions also included representatives from the Office of the Mayor of the
City of St. Louis and the Office of the St. Louis County Executive.
Synopsis of Customer Advocacy Discussions
The Board acknowledged the Rate Commission’s August 13, 2007 Recommendation
Report at its September 6, 2007 public meeting. At that time, a broad array of public comment
from a number of customer groups approached the Board. In order to acknowledge all points of
view, MSD Staff met, on several occasions with the various entities mentioned above about their
expressed concerns. These discussions encompassed the following:
November 20, 2007 – Meeting between MSD representatives and those of ACORN, AARP,
MIEC, MEG, the Office of the Mayor of the City of St. Louis and the Office of the St. Louis
County Executive. A wastewater funding plan using $230 million of additional debt to lower
wastewater rates in the near term obtained tentative consensus from all present. Those with
stormwater rate concerns requested the exploration of additional options to provide similar relief
to near term stormwater rates.
December 6, 2007 – Meeting between MSD representatives and those of ACORN, AARP,
MIEC, MEG, the Office of the Mayor of the City of St. Louis and the Office of the St. Louis
County Executive. A wastewater funding plan using $275 million of additional debt was
discussed. Tentative consensus of all present was obtained with the understanding the additional
$45 million in debt compared to that discussed on December 6, 2007 would be used to supplant a
portion of the wastewater cash financing of the MSD Capital Improvement and Repair Program
(“CIRP”) in order to extend the subsidy of the stormwater program thereby providing near term
rate relief for those with stormwater concerns. The use of additional debt for stormwater rate
relief was tentatively agreed to by all present.
December 13, 2007 - In response to these customer concerns the Board adopted the first year
only (FY2008) of the wastewater and stormwater rate increases introduced on October 11, 2007.
In conjunction with this adoption the Board instructed Staff to prepare and submit for Rate
Commission consideration a Proposed Rate Change using debt to partially fund the wastewater
improvement program in FY09 through FY12. Per the Board’s instruction, this Proposed Rate
Change was to be delivered to the Rate Commission at the earliest reasonable date with the
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 6
understanding if the proposed necessary voter authorization for additional debt is rejected by
qualified voters of the St. Louis Region, the FY09 through FY12 wastewater and stormwater rate
increases would be adopted as introduced on October 11, 2007.
December 20, 2007 – A revised set of data based on the $275 million wastewater funding plan
as discussed on December 6, 2007 was distributed to all customer advocacy groups participating
in the discussions to date. This data reflected the use of $275 million in additional debt to
partially fund the MSD’s CIRP; extend the wastewater subsidy of the stormwater program, and a
consequential reduction in the near term stormwater rate increases with the concluding 7th year
increase unchanged from prior approaches discussed.
January 16, 2008 – Meeting between MSD representatives and those of MIEC, MEG, the
Office of the Mayor of the City of St. Louis and the Office of the St. Louis County Executive.
The $275 million wastewater debt plan distributed on December 20, 2007 was discussed,
receiving consensus of all present. This $275 million wastewater funding plan is the basis of the
January 18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change.

Change between Rate Commission Report and Introduced Rate Plan
The changes between the Rate Commission’s August 13, 2007 Recommendation Report
(Alternative I), (MSD Exhibit 2.3d) and the Rate Plan introduced by the Board on October 11,
2007 (Alternative II), (MSD Exhibit 2.3e) are as follows:
(1) An extension of the stormwater rate increases from over five years to seven years,
and
(2) An adjustment in the effective date of the first stormwater rate increase from January
1, 2008 to March 1, 2008.
These changes provided moderate rate shock relief by slowing the pace of the near term
stormwater increases (see Tables D, E-1 and E-2 on pages 13, 14 and 15, respectively). The rate
plan introduced on October 11, 2007 maintained the use of additional wastewater bonds at zero
as recommended by the Rate Commission.
Change between Introduced Rate Plan and Proposed Rate Change
The changes between the Rate Plan introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007
(Alternative II), (MSD Exhibit 2.3e) and the January 18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change
(Alternative III), (MSD Exhibits 2.2 and 2.3f) are as follows:
(1) The use of $275 million in additional wastewater bonds;
(2) An increase in total debt service costs:
(a) A $27 million increase from $163 million to $190 million over the 5 year
wastewater rate proposal, and
(b) A 60% or $640 million increase from $1.07 billion to $1.71 billion through 2026.
This incremental increase does not reflect the total debt service cost over the life
of the assumed bonds which is projected to end in 2046.
(3) The extension of the wastewater subsidy funding of the stormwater program from two to
three years. The subsidy is eliminated by July 1, 2011. This extension results in $13
million increase in the total subsidy from $30 million to $43 million over the five year
horizon of the wastewater rate proposal;
(4) A $1 million reduction in the total stormwater program from $399 to $ 398 million over
the seven year horizon of the stormwater rate proposal.
These changes lower the near term wastewater rates and provides additional stormwater
rate shock relief from that introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007. The January 18, 2008
Proposed Rate Change provides this rate relief through the proposed use of $275 million in
additional wastewater bonds as compared to zero additional bonds as recommended by the Rate
Commission on August 13, 2007 and originally introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007.
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 9
Summary of Change in Debt Service – Table B
Table B, page 11 compares the impact of the proposed additional use of bonds on the
MSD’s debt service cost. Since both the Rate Commission Recommendation and the Rate Plan
introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007 assume no additional use of bonds, the change is
debt service cost solely reflects the use of additional wastewater bonds proposed in the January
18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change. As previously noted, these changes are as follows:
(1) An increase in total debt service costs:
a. A $27 million increase from $163 million to $190 million over the 5 year rate
horizon of the Proposed Rate Change wastewater proposal, and
b. A 60% or $640 million increase from $1.07 billion to $1.71 billion through 2026.
This incremental increase does not reflect the total debt service cost increase over
the life of the assumed bonds which is projected to end in 2046.
Impact on Wastewater Rates – Table C
Table C, page12 compares the change in wastewater rates between each of the rate plans
considered to date as previously listed on page 7. The use of an additional $275 million in
wastewater bonds assumed in the Proposed Rate Change results in a deferral of the next
wastewater rate increase from July 1, 2008 to July 1, 2009. The remaining wastewater rate
increases are effective each July 1st thereafter, but at lower levels than contained in the rate plan
introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007.
Impact on Stormwater Rates – Table D
Table D, page 13 compares the change in stormwater rates between each of the rate plans
considered to date as previously listed on page 7.
The extension of the implementation of the stormwater rate increases from five to seven
years as introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007 resulted in the slowing of the pace of
stormwater increases. The January 18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change provides further rate relief in
the near term with a steeper slope of stormwater rate increases in years FY12, FY13 and FY14
needed to maintain the total level of the stormwater program.
Impact on Average Monthly Customer Bills – Tables E-1 and E-2
Tables E-1 and E-2 on pages 14 and 15 respectively, compares the change in the average
monthly bills for each customer class in each of the rate plans considered to date as previously
listed on page 7. Changes in these bills correlate with impact of the proposed additional bonds

Wastewater Bond Election Options – Table F
Table F on page 17 presents the change in the average monthly residential bill should the
proposed bond initiative be approved or rejected by St. Louis voters. If the proposed bond
initiative passes, the wastewater and stormwater rates will increases as outlined in the January
18, 2008 Proposed Rate Change. Under this scenario, the next stormwater and wastewater rate
increases will occur on January 1, 2009 and July 1, 2009, respectively. Should the proposed
bond initiative fail, the wastewater and stormwater rate increases as contained in the rate plan
introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007 will take effect. Under this scenario, the next
wastewater and stormwater rate increases will occur on September 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009,
respectively.
Compliance with MSD Charter Section 7.270 – Criteria Governing Rates
Any change in Rate recommended to the Board by the Rate Commission must meet five
criteria as outlined in Section 7.270 of the Plan. In the MSD’s opinion, this Proposed Rate
Change meets all required criteria as outlined below.
(1) The Proposed Rate Change is consistent with constitutional, statutory and common law
as amended from time to time;
(2) The Proposed Rate Change enhances MSD’s ability to provide adequate sewer and

dictated by Section 3(2).
Items (a) – (h) per Section 3(2):
(a) Why the Proposed Rate Change set forth in the Rate Change Notice is necessary, fair and
reasonable;
(b) How the Proposed Rate Change will enhance the District’s ability to provide adequate
sewer and drainage systems and facilities, or related services;
(c) Whether and to what extent the Proposed Rate Change is necessary to enable the District
to comply with any covenant or provision relating to any outstanding bonds or
indebtedness of the MSD, together with a specific quantification of the amount of the
Proposed Rate Change that is necessary for such purposes;
(d) Whether and to what extent the Proposed Rate Change is necessary to enable the District
to comply with applicable federal or State laws or regulations as amended front time to
time, together with a specific quantification of the amount of the Proposed Rate Change
that is necessary for such purposes;
(e) Why the burden imposed on each class of ratepayers by the Proposed Rate Change is fair
and reasonable, including whether and how cost of service considerations, cost causation
principles, customer impact data, economic development considerations, environmental
effects and other factors have or have not been factored into such determination;
(f) The measures taken by the District to ensure that the cost of constructing and maintaining
the MSD’s facilities and providing related services are being incurred in a reasonable and
efficient manner, including copies of all internal and external audit reports that address
such matters;
(g) The name, address and telephone number of each person submitting and sponsoring such
direct testimony, and
(h) If the Rate Setting Documents are voluminous in nature, such Documents may be
referenced and described in the District’s direct testimony, provided that copies of such
Documents shall be made available to any Commission member upon request.
MSD 2008 Proposed Rate Change January 18, 2008 18
MSD is prepared to advertise public notice of this Proposed Rate Change as required by
Section 7.280 (b) of the Plan upon submittal of the Proposed Rate Change to the Rate
Commission.
Conclusion
As this Proposed Rate Change and its referenced support material indicate, MSD is in
need of a series of prompt wastewater and stormwater rate changes to address funding needs
quickly looming on the horizon. This Proposed Rate Change will provide District rate payers a
choice of meeting the wastewater funding challenges facing the St. Louis region over the next
five years through the PAYGO option introduced by the Board on October 11, 2007 or the use of
a combination of debt and PAYGO to provide temporary near term rate relief and distribute
annual capital costs between current and future ratepayers. For these reasons, MSD respectfully
submits this Proposed Rate Change to the Rate Commission for full and prompt consideration.
The Proposed Rate Change and supporting Appendix have also been distributed to the
MSD Board Trustees for informational purposes.
Questions regarding this proposal should be directed to Mr. Jeffrey Theerman, Executive
Director, (314-768-6201), jthee@stlmsd.com, or Ms. Janice M. Zimmerman, Director of Finance
(314-768-6299), jzimmer@stlmsd.com.

Mr. David Rosenberg opened the meeting pursuant to notice and call.
- - - -
Upon motion made by Ms. Joyce-Hayes, seconded by Ms. Harshman, the Journal of
the July 12, 2007 meeting was approved by unanimous voice vote.
- - - -
The Chair reported that in 2000, changes to MSD’s Charter were approved by area
voters that allowed for the creation of a Rate Commission. Composed of 15 member organizations
representing a broad cross-section of MSD’s customers and the community it serves, the Rate
Commission is designed to provide public input into how the District sets rates. The Rate
2
Commission process is a lengthy and deliberative process – much like a formal legal case – that
includes multiple public hearings. This process begins when a rate proposal is formally referred to
the Rate Commission.
In March of this year, staff referred a proposal for both wastewater and stormwater
rates to the Rate Commission. Since that time, the Commission has met 18 times to consider the
proposal. The Commission will conclude their deliberations and issue a report to the Board early
next week. Included in the report will be a recommendation from the Commission on the rate
proposal.
Once the Rate Commission has issued its report, the Board of Trustees must wait a
minimum of 45 days before adopting any ordinance that would change rates. However, during the
45 day period, the Board will review the recommendation for compliance with the 5 criteria that are
laid out in the District’s charter and were a part of the changes approved by area voters in 2000.
The 5 criteria are:
1) Is the Rate Commission’s recommendation contrary to constitutional, statutory, or common
law?
2) Does the recommendation substantially impair the District’s ability to provide adequate sewer
and drainage systems and facilities or related services to the point where public health or
institutional safety may be jeopardized?
3) Is the recommendation contrary to or in violation of any covenant or provision relating to any
outstanding bonds or debts owed by the District?
4) Does the recommendation fail to meet federal or state laws or regulations?
5) Does the recommendation impose an unfair or excessive burden on one or more classes of
ratepayers?
For those members of the public that maybe interested, sections 7.040 through 7.310
of the District’s charter provides further details on the next steps in the rate setting process.
In closing, and as has been stated in the past, I wish to underscore the District’s
commitment to protecting the environment and managing stormwater issues on behalf of our St.
Louis community, and to protecting the household budgets of ratepayers, especially the budgets of
ratepayers on low or fixed incomes. Balancing those responsibilities can be difficult, but MSD has
worked very hard for many years to find the right approach. Whatever the outcome of the current
rate setting process, the District is committed to moving forward with a focus on those
responsibilities.

Mr. Tyminski provided the Trustees with the quarterly pension investment report for
the period ending June 30, 2007. He noted that the plan experienced an above average return for
the quarter and year-to-date period. The year-to-date return through June 30th was 6.5% which is
ahead of the bench mark. He also noted that the diversifying investment classes work well and that
the small/mid cap search is due to be complete within the next month. He also noted that the
Investment sub-committee would be meeting for the first time in late August. He also updated the
Board on the volatility experienced in the financial markets due to the sub-prime mortgage
problems. He explained that the District has no direct sub-prime mortgage exposure but the market
3
volatility did hurt the performance of the District’s high yield bond manager. Mr. Goffstein asked
what the District’s investment performance was through December 31, 2006. Mr. Tyminski
responded that the plan earned 12.3% for calendar 2006 versus a targeted rate of 7.5%.

Ms. Joyce-Hayes reported that the Program Management Committee met on July 30,
2007 at 7:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by trustees Karam, Rosenberg, Joyce-Hayes, and
Goffstein.
The minutes of the July 5, 2007 meeting were approved, as amended.
Staff presented and discussed the agenda items to be introduced tonight. There was
a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Items 25 & 26 – CSO Interceptor Access and Monitoring and Fenton Wastewater
Treatment Plant Odor Controls – The Committee discussed the introduction and adoption status of
these two projects on the Agenda. Representatives of TGB attended the meeting and answered
questions concerning their compliance with prevailing wage requirements. TGB agreed to send
MSD that portion of their labor contract dealing with the payment of prevailing wage. Trustees
Goffstein and Karam requested copies of the results of past prevailing wage audits by MSD and the
State of Missouri.
Item 28 – Valdamere Drive Sewer Replacement – In-house design staff was able to
save an estimated $200,000 on the cost to replace this collapsed sanitary sewer line by relocating it
instead of replacing in place.
Item 30 – Watershed Facility Planning – This is the first year of an anticipated four-
year contract, with two option years, to provide resources to supplement in-house planning staff.
Jacobs will make 150 individuals available to provide 34 FTEs of support. Staff reviewed the
anticipated and past deliverables listed in the project write-up. The Committee requested a list of
contractors, costs, and activities performed in FY2007 and those anticipated to be performed in
FY2008.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 a.m.
The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at 7:30
a.m.

Ms. Harshman reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met 7:30 a.m. on
July 26, 2007 at the District’s headquarters. Trustees Harshman and Rosenberg were in
attendance.

The first item was a discussion regarding the possible renewal of the contract for the
District’s Annual Report. On the September agenda, there will be a resolution for the exercising of
a contract option year for Falk Harrison Creative to provide development services for the 2007
Annual Report. The cost of these services will be $37,645, the same cost paid for the 2006 Annual
Report. Falk Harrison Creative has provided the District with annual reporting services since 2003,
and has played a key role in helping staff to lower the cost of these services by over $50,000 per
year. The exercising of this contract option year is being done under terms of a “Request for
Proposal” (RFP) issued in 2005.
Mr. LeComb brought forth discussion on the contract for customer service surveying.
This item will also be on the September agenda. There will be a resolution for the exercising of a
contract option year for the ETC Institute to provide Customer Service Surveying in 2008. The
District currently surveys all of its external customer service functions. Staff uses the results to
implement customer service focused improvements throughout the District’s operations. The cost
of these surveying services in 2007 is $61,845. The cost for 2008 will be $62,873. The exercising
of this contract option year is being done under terms of an RFP issued in 2006.
During the committee meeting, staff discussed as part of the Rate Commission
process a proposed Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between MSD and the Levee
Districts designed to address the issue of stormwater services. The proposed agreement defines
which stormwater services to be funded by an impervious rate in MSD’s rate proposal will be
performed by MSD and which services will be performed by the Levee Districts. Levee District will
be reimbursed for performing the described services through a credit to the impervious rate
stormwater charge. Basic services include operation and maintenance of the public storm sewer
system (sewers, inlets, and manholes), stormwater planning, non-permitted development review,
and stormwater quality regulatory requirements under the area’s Phase II stormwater permit.
The main activity to be performed by the Levee District’s is the maintenance and
operation of the public stormwater system included in the basic services. The credit for this service
has already been calculated at 50% in MSD’s Rate Proposal and is similar to the credit properties
that drain directly to the Mississippi, Missouri, or Meramec Rivers and don’t use the area’s storm
water systems are eligible for.
Additional services to be performed by the Levee Districts include stormwater
planning, non-permitted development review in accordance with the Levee District’s design
standards, and individual billing and revenue collection per parcel within the Levee Districts. This
results in an additional 45% credit. The remaining services consist of compliance with the area’s
Phase II stormwater permit and maintenance of the impervious database, the vast majority of which
will be performed by MSD. This is 5% of the total basic service charge and resulting in a 95% credit
to the Levee District. The agreement is Item No. 32 on tonight’s agenda.
Mr. Hoelscher informed the Committee that in response to a customer service survey,
the District will re-engineer its plan review and permitting processes based on comments received
during the survey and from a stakeholders group. The re-engineering will consist of short-term and
long-term changes. Technical members of the stakeholders group will participate in the re-
engineering process. Staff anticipates having all changes implemented by February 2008 except for
those changes requiring possible Charter changes.
5
Finally, the Committee reviewed the selection process used to choose a firm for
implementation of the federally required public participation that must take place as part of the
District’s Long-Term Control Plan development. The basis of this conversation was a July 24th
memo prepared for the Board by staff. Included in the review discussion were details of the six
proposals that were submitted; the qualifications of each of the firms that submitted proposals; and
the criteria that was used to rate the proposals. It was decided that this item should be brought to
the full Board at its next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:20 a.m.
- - - -
Mr. Rosenberg reported that the Finance Committee held its monthly meeting at 8:00
a.m. on Tuesday, August 7, 2007. In attendance were Trustees David Rosenberg, James Buford,
and Dr. Ellen Harshman.
Minutes from the prior Finance Committee on July 10th were approved and accepted
into the record.
Ms. Zimmerman presented the June 2007 Adjustment Review Committee report. The
report reflected a decrease in customer account receivables of $301,154 for the month of June and
a decrease of $549,137 year-to-date. A motion was made to accept the report into the Committee
record per ordinance. Ms. Zimmerman then updated the Committee on the June 2007 financial
results. Compared to the prior year, Total Assets increased 6.1%, Income before Contribution was
up 6.3%, and End of Month Cash increased 86.9%. Ms Zimmerman indicated General Fund
expenditures are projected to be approximately $6.5 million or 5.0% under budget for fiscal year
2007 primarily due to improved cost containment efforts, reductions in wages associated with
outstanding position vacancies and less than anticipated contractual services costs. Ms.
Zimmerman also indicated that the District had reached a settlement with Missouri American Water
that will result in a $430,000 reduction in annual water agency data costs beginning December
2007.
Ms. Zimmerman then presented an update on Collection Activity for the FY07, and
indicated the District’s FY07 collections totaled $19.7 million or 37% greater than FY06. More
significantly, this represented a $3.3 million or 20% increase over the District’s record collection
year in FY05. FY07 collections from legal action were also up increasing 47.8% from prior year for a
total of $1.9 million. Ms. Zimmerman communicated Net Sewer Service Receivables greater than
30 days delinquent as of June 30, 2007 totaled $17.3 million while the collection probability of these
receivables totaled $22 million.
Ms. Zimmerman also briefed the Committee on the Low Income assistance program.
During January 2007 notices and applications were sent to the 2,949 customers on the existing low-
income program. Since this mailing a total of 3,213 applications were processed, 634 were
approved, 149 were incomplete, 143 denied, 40 returned undeliverable and 2,247 expired.
Mr. Theerman provided an update on the Rate Commission proceedings indicating the
6
Rate Commission may submit its Rate Recommendation Report to the full board at Thursday’s
Board Meeting. He indicated, however, the Rate Commission has until August 13th to complete its
work per District Charter. Once the Rate Commission’s report is received the Board will have 45
days before any action on a rate ordinance may be taken.
Mr. Tyminski presented the District’s Pension results for the second quarter of
calendar year 2007 and indicated the District’s Pension Fund investment balances totaled $185.4
million as of June 30, 2007, an increase of $9.4 million over the prior quarter, reflecting investment
earnings of $7.6 million and net inflows of $1.8 million. Despite a conservative investment posture,
the fund posted a 4.3% return in the quarter, ranking in the 37th percentile of public funds,
nationwide. Mr. Tyminski also indicated that the Investment Sub-Committee would be meeting on
Thursday, August 16th to continue reviewing the Plans progress and investment managers’
performance.
Mr. Theerman reported as other business that Staff would be bringing a GASB 45
Post Retirement Benefits presentation to the next Finance Committee Meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m.

Ms. Joyce-Hayes commented that 2,274 customers currently in the Low Income status
category have not signed up for the new program and she questioned what the District would be
doing about this. Ms. Zimmerman responded that a minority of this group had an increase in their
income level that exempted them from that category. The majority of customers either did not
renew their application or did not send it back. The District will continue to advertise the low income
program, work with the Unite Way referral list, and continue to accept applications.

Mr. Theerman reported that The Board of Trustees will have a special board meeting
to consider approval of revisions to tax rates which will be levied this winter. We anticipate that
revisions will be required which lower the tax rates for the District’s Administrative tax and the OMCI
tax in the Sugar Creek Sub-district. These revisions are anticipated because tax assessments
make a lower tax rate necessary to maintain compliance with Missouri’s Hancock Amendment. The
Special Board Meeting has been set for 7:30 am, Friday, August 24, 2007 here at the District
Headquarters.
The Staff is attempting to reschedule the September Board Meeting. The originally
scheduled September 13th Board Meeting falls on the Rash Hashanah Holiday. When rescheduled
the District will post a notice of the revised board meeting date and time on our website.
One of the Districts strengths is our knowledgeable and experienced workforce. A
number of dedicated employees will be retiring from District service on September 1st. On tonight’s
7
agenda resolutions 37 through 43 honor the careers of 7 employees with a combined 195 years of
service to MSD. It has certainly been a pleasure working with these people and we wish them well
in their retirement.

Mr. Sullivan addressed the Board and commented on the composition of the Rate
Commission and questioned if there’s a conflict of interest on the part of the chairman of the Rate
Commission who is also with AGC. He praised the District for not having a closed session. He also
questioned if the Risk Management position had been filled and asked for the status of the Ernst &
Young audit. Mr. Tyminski responded that the Ernst & Young audit of the Lower Meramec project is
scheduled to be released at the August 14, 2007 audit committee meeting and copies are available
upon request. Mr. Theerman responded that the Manager of Risk Management position has been
filled and that Mike Grace has been hired in that capacity. Mr. Sullivan commented that the Vector
Communication contract appears to be frivolous and that this contract should be re-bid because of a
scope change. Mr. Sullivan questioned the necessity for the contract with Jacobs. He questioned if
the 32 easement acquisitions should not be approved individually. He also questioned the wisdom
of entering into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Levee District and commented on the
salary of the Executive Director. Mr. Sullivan commented on a Channel 2 piece regarding homes
being threatened by erosion. There was a discussion between Ms. Joyce-Hayes and Mr. Sullivan
where it was established that the District could not legally move funds from another area to assist
this group.

Mr. Elkin Kistner addressed the Board and indicated that the represented TGB whose
contracts were under consideration at this meeting. He emphasized that TGB is a highly qualified
contractor who is eager to do work for the District and recommended that the District move as
quickly as possible to provide funding for their projects.

exchange for providing these services, the Levee Districts will be initially provided a 95% credit for
the impervious area charges within the Levee District boundaries associated with “basic services”.

service” levels change and for MSD to take over various stormwater services in the future if the
Levee Districts are no longer able or willing to provide those services.

The Chair reported that in 2000, changes to MSD’s Charter were approved by
area voters that allowed for the creation of a Rate Commission. Composed of 15 member
organizations representing a broad cross-section of MSD’s customers and the community it
serves, the Rate Commission was designed to provide public input into how the District sets
rates. The Rate Commission process is a lengthy and deliberative process – much like a formal
legal case – that includes multiple public hearings. This process begins when a rate proposal is
formally referred to the Rate Commission.
In March of this year, staff referred a proposal for both wastewater and stormwater
rate changes to the Rate Commission. The Commission met 18 times to consider the proposal,
and issued a report and recommendation on August 13. Since the report was issued, the Board
has undertaken its own deliberations on the rate proposal and the Commission’s findings.
In addition to many hours spent by individual Trustees reviewing the Commission’s
recommendation on their own, the Board’s Finance Committee held two public meetings to
discuss details of the proposed rate changes. These deliberations have concluded that the
Commission’s recommendation complies with the criteria laid out in the District’s Charter for rate
changes. As such, the Finance Committee recommends the Board accept the Commission’s
report as presented, with the exception of one aspect of the new stormwater rate. Instead of the
new impervious stormwater rate being implemented over five years, the implementation should
take place over seven years.
Items 32, 33, and 34 on tonight’s agenda pertain to the acceptance of the Rate
Commission’s report by the Board and the related changes to wastewater and stormwater rates.
Item 32 is a resolution. If approved tonight, it will require no further action by the Board. Items
33 and 34 are proposed ordinances for introduction. If those items are approved tonight, both
will be considered for final adoption at the November Board meeting.
In closing, and as has been stated in the past, I wish to underscore the District’s
commitment to protecting the environment and managing stormwater issues on behalf of our St.
Louis community. While carrying out these important duties, the Board is also aware that MSD
has a concurrent obligation to protect the household budgets of ratepayers - especially the
budgets of ratepayers on low or fixed incomes. Balancing these responsibilities can be difficult,
but MSD has worked very hard for many years to find the right approach. It is a balance our
customers and the St. Louis community expect MSD to achieve. We believe that the current
rate setting process and the rate changes to be voted on this evening achieves that balance.

Mr. Karam reported that the Program Management Committee met on October 2,
2007 at 7:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by trustees Karam and Rosenberg.
The minutes of the September 5, 2007 meeting were approved.
Staff presented and discussed the agenda items to be introduced tonight. There
was a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Items 25 through 28 – General Surveying Services – These four contracts will
provide the District with surveying services for internal design and planning activities. The total
MWBE participation for these contracts is 40%.
Item 40 – Resolution No. 2739 – This resolution adds two stormwater and one
sanitary sewer projects to the capital program as part of the Revised 2007 – 2008 Budget
Appropriation. Emerling – Evans is a stormwater project located in Cool Valley and funded
through the Maline Creek OMCI. Ferguson and Salerno is a stormwater project located in
Pagedale and funded through the Wellston OMCI. Eva – Wabash Phase II is a sanitary relief
project located in Berkeley. A budget surplus from the FY2007 Operating Budget is allowing
this project to be built two years earlier than programmed and will result in the elimination of five
constructed SSOs. The District has scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, October 30, 2007
at 7:30 a.m. to review these projects.
Item 43 – Resolution No. 2743 – This resolution acknowledges the District’s
support for the use of Green Technology to protect the environment. The Executive Director will
discuss the details of this resolution in his report.
The Committee went into closed session at 8:10 a.m. and resumed open session
at 8:20 a.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 a.m.
The next meeting will be scheduled prior to the November 2007 Board Meeting.

Mr. Goffstein reported that The Audit Committee met October 9, 2007 at 8:05 a.m.
The meeting was attended by Trustees John Goffstein, Dee Joyce-Hayes and James Buford.
The audit committee was presented with the status of the FY07 and FY08 audit
plans. The committee was informed that the FY07 audit plan had been completed. The
committee also approved the Benefits Management audit report.
Hochschild Bloom & Co. discussed the Independent Auditors Draft Reports for the
Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2007. The following draft reports were discussed: Enterprise
Financial Report, Report on Federal Awards, Agreed-upon Procedures Report “Schedule of Net
Pledged Revenues”, Report on Schedule of Project Expenditures Under Resolution 2533,
Internal Control Management Comments and Recommendations, and Fund Financial
Statements and Other Financial Information report. HBC discussed the financial changes
between FY06 and FY07 for all reports. HBC indicated that they would be completing the
documentation for MSD to receive the Government Finance Officer Association awards for
distinguished financial reporting and budget presentation.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 a.m.
Mr. Goffstein, then introduced Bob Offerman and Tammy Alsop, who provided a
report to the Board on the annual financial audit. Mr. Offerman reported that the audit was
completed within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. There was no fraud or errors detected.
The financial statements received an unqualified opinion and present fairly the financial
condition of the District as of June 30, 2007. He noted that no new accounting methods have
been adopted and the District is working on its GASB 45 post-retirement medical liability. He
called upon Ms. Alsop who discussed the various changes in the District’s financial positions
between 2006 & 2007. Mr. Offerman indicated that certain of the District’s financial ratios were
very strong. In particular, he cited that the District’s current ratio is 3:1, which means the District
has three times the money available to pay its debts. He also cited the District’s debt-to-equity
ratio as being .25:1, which means that for every dollar of debt, the District has four dollars of
equity. Mr. Offerman thanked the District staff and indicated that they were very professional to
deal with.

Ms. Rosenberg reported that on September 20, 2007 the Stakeholder Relations
Committee met at 7:30 a.m. at the District’s headquarters. In attendance were Trustees
Harshman, Rosenberg and staff.
The only item of discussion was the District’s Post Retirement Medical Insurance.
Ms. Edwards explained that GASB 45 is a new regulation that requires governmental agencies
to recognize the liability for post-employment benefits beginning fiscal 2008. This change
impacts the medical coverage offered to the District's retirees. Under the current program
District, employees are able to retire with full benefits with the Rule of 75, (age and years of
service total 75). Medical coverage continues for the pre-65 retiree until they become eligible
for Medicare. In addition, the District offers post-65 retirees a Medicare supplemental plan.
Cost of this coverage is paid by retiree. As part of GASB 45, the District conducted actuarial
studies for pre and post-65 retirees. She informed the Committee that the District has agreed to
accept liability for coverage as part of the retirement package for all pre-65 retirees. As for post-
65 retirees, the liability associated with this group is estimated to be $21 million. To eliminate
the liability, the monthly cost for this coverage would need to increase more than $200 per
month above the $320 they are currently paying. This increase would be cost-prohibited for
most retirees. Staff's recommendation is to offer an alternative program to the post-65 retirees.
The Medicare supplemental program being proposed is comparable in benefits and costs, to the
plan currently being offered, thus eliminating the GASB 45 liability and the increase in cost.
The proposed change would be effective February 1, 2008.
Mr. Theerman briefed the Committee on his recent trip to Washington, DC where
he met with Senate and House staff. He informed the group that the House had passed a bill
for $14 billion in funding for water infrastructure.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:07 a.m.

Mr. Rosenberg reported that Since the last Board meeting the Finance Committee
met on September 26th and again on October 9th.
At the September 26th meeting Trustees Rosenberg, Harshman, Buford, Karam,
and Goffstein were in attendance. The meeting was held to discuss the Rate Commission
report and the corresponding Wastewater and Stormwater rate proposals. The meeting was
facilitated through a presentation made by Ms. Zimmerman who went through an overview of:
the Rate Process, the task facing the Trustees, and a summary of both the Wastewater and
Stormwater Rate Proposals. She emphasized that the Wastewater Rate Proposal is based on
100% Pay-as-you-go financing. The Stormwater proposal recommends an impervious area
charge to fund both basic and enhanced service. The District’s proposal differs from the Rate
Commission recommendation by ramping–up the enhanced service charge over a seven-year
period versus the five-year period recommended by the Rate Commission. Public comment
was also accepted at this meeting. Mr. Mark Drazen, a consultant for the large energy users,
expressed concern that the pay-as-you-go financing for the wastewater rate creates an
artificially inflated rate in the near term versus the use of an equal mix of bond and pay-as-you-
go financing. Mr. Tyminski presented the advantages and disadvantages of both using bond
and pay-as you go financing. He emphasized that it is the District’s preference to defer the use
of bond financing to a point in time when uncertainty surrounding the capital improvement
program has been resolved.
At the October 9th meeting, Trustees Buford, Harshman, Joyce-Hayes, Goffstein
and Rosenberg were in attendance. The Committee approved the minutes of both the
September 11th and 26th meetings. Ms. Bellville, Assistant Director of Finance, presented the
Adjustment Review Committee report which was formally accepted by the Committee.
Mr. Tyminski addressed the Committee and recommended that the District renew
the banking agreement with Bank of America for the third and final year of their contract. He
noted that Bank of America is the lowest cost provider for the services required by the District
and they also have the best platform to support the District’s e-banking initiatives. The
Committee voted to recommend the extension of the Bank of America contract for a one-year
period. This item is on tonight’s agenda.
Mrs. Taylor-Edwards addressed the Committee and indicated that as part of the
routine competitive procurement process, proposals were received for security services. The
firm of Wackenhut is the lowest cost qualified provider for these services. The Committee voted
to recommend an agreement with Wackenhut for consideration at the November Board of
Trustees meeting.
The Committee discussed the Waste and Stormwater Rate proposals and
received public comment on this topic. Mr. Mark Gorman, a consultant for the large energy
users, addressed the Committee and reiterated their position that the use of an equally
proportioned debt to pay-as-you-go financing structure would provide a lower user rate in the
near term. The Committee had a discussion regarding Mr. Gorman’s proposal. The committee
voted to present to the full board the Wastewater proposal as recommended by the Rate
Commission, and the Stormwater proposal, as modified by ramping-up the enhanced service
area charge over a seven versus a five-year period. These will be items 32, 33 and 34 on
tonight’s agenda.
The Finance Committee voted to go into closed session to discuss legal,
confidential and privileged communication as defined in RSMO 610.021 (1). No votes were
taken in closed session.
This concludes the report of the Finance Committee
- - - -
Mr. Theerman reported that as the District develops solutions to wastewater and
stormwater problems that exist in our community, we continually seek to understand the best
methods used by others. Some of the challenges in handling stormwater can be addressed
through the use of Green Infrastructure alternatives at a lower cost than traditional solutions.
Green Infrastructure refers to a set of stormwater management solutions that utilize natural
systems to reduce runoff volume and improve the quality of water that reaches local streams
and rivers. Green infrastructure solutions include rain gardens, vegetated roofs, vegetated
swales, infiltration planters, to name a few.
Item 43 on tonight’s agenda is a resolution that states the District’s support of
green infrastructure alternatives in combination with traditional hard infrastructure improvements
or as stand-alone solutions to the regulatory needs of our service area. That support is
extended to recognizing the appropriate use of green infrastructure solutions in privately funded
projects that require permitting by the District. The resolution also recognizes the numerous
benefits beyond stormwater control that can be achieved through these options including:
reduced urban temperatures, increased energy efficiency, cleaner air, and community
aesthetics.
The terms of five of the 15 seats on the Districts Rate Commission have expired.
The Board of Trustees elected to wait until the conclusion of the recent rate change deliberation
by the commission to start the process of filling these seats. By Charter, the District advertises
for interested organizations in the community to express their interest in serving on the
commission. The Board strives to appoint organizations that are collectively reflective of the
community we serve. The District will be accepting letter of interest from organizations through
November 15th. Any organization that desires to be considered in serving on the commission
should send a letter of interest to Pam Bell here at MSD. The Board of Trustees will determine
which organizations to include on the commission. The selected organizations will then
determine whom to appoint as a delegate to the commission. We expect to conclude the
selection process by the end of January 2008.
- - - -
Mr. Sullivan addressed the Board and indicated that he believes the method in
which the District forwarded the rate proposal to the Rate Commission was flawed. It is his
opinion that the Board of Trustees should take an action on the submittal prior to it being
forwarded to the Rate Commission. Mr. Tyminski responded that the methodology for
submitting a proposal to the Rate Commission is a policy decision that was discussed at great
length at the time the first submission was made. The ownership of the submittal is that of the
District and should come from the District staff. The Board, by interjecting it’s authority at the
early stage of the process could be viewed as an impairment of the independence of the Rate
Commission. Ms. Joyce-Hayes questioned if the legality of the submission process had been
reviewed. Mr. Hayman indicated that it had been reviewed and the process followed by the
District is on solid legal ground.
- - - -
Mr. Clay Stockwell, of Peppertree Village, addressed to Board and briefly
discussed the severe erosion problems faced by some residents of his sub-division. He
concluded by indicating that some of the homes are in great danger and he thanked the Board
for what they have done.
- - - -
Mr. John Coffman, a utility rate attorney, spoke on behalf of the American of
Association of Retired Persons (AARP). He indicated that members of this organization, which
totals approximately 775,000 across the state of Missouri, have voiced concern over the steep
increase. He urged the District to use debt financing to help mollify the wastewater rate
increase.
- - - -
Mr. Mark Drazen addressed to Board and also pointed out that the District’s
residents would be better served by bond financing a portion of the capital program. this will
allow for a reduced impact of the increase in the wastewater rate.

Resolution No. 2741 was presented and read. The District re-prices its day-to-day
banking services through an RFP process every three years. The incumbent banking institution
is Bank of America whose contract is for a two-year fixed term and has a one-year optional
renewal provision. Bank of America was chosen from a field of six candidates in 2005 and has
provided quality service on a cost effective basis. Part of the District’s requirements and
objectives is the further migration into the e-banking area which is targeted for the next contract
year. This ordinance allows the District to exercise the one-year contract renewal option with
Bank of America.
Motion made by Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Mr. Buford that Resolution No. 2741
be adopted.
Motion passed – voice vote; 6 ayes, no nays
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2743, WHEREAS GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE
BOTH A COST EFFECTIVE AND AN ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE APPROACH TO
REDUCE STORMWATER AND OTHER EXCESS FLOW ENTERING COMBINED OR
SEPARATE SEWER SYSTEMS IN COMBINATION WITH, OR IN LIEU OF, CENTRALIZED
HARD INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS.
Resolution No. 2743 was presented and read. The use of green infrastructure for
the management of stormwater is of increasing interest in the community. Green infrastructure
methods have the potential to address stormwater quantity and quality issues in the District’s
service area. In approving this statement of support, the District joins other local and national
organizations in advancing the use of green infrastructure to solve water quality problems.
Ms. Joyce-Hayes asked what this resolution does. Mr. Theerman indicated that it
lends MSD support to the development of green infrastructure.
Motion made by Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Mr. Buford that Resolution No. 2743

Mr. Tyminski gave the Pension Investment report for the period ending September
30, 2007. He noted that this report was delayed a month to allow for a greater focus on the rate
issues. As of September 30, 2007, the asset allocation for the pension plan was on target and
the investment performance of the plan was in the top 40% of the country. There are no
recommendations for changes being made at this time and any new recommendations would
come in early 2008 after the asset allocation assumptions have been reviewed. He did note that
the transition from Ark to Kennedy Capital Management was proceeding on schedule.

Ms. Harshman reported that on November 15, 2007 the Stakeholder Relations
Committee met at 7:30 a.m. at the District’s headquarters. In attendance were Trustees
Harshman, Goffstein, Buford and Rosenberg (via phone). Also in attendance were Kyna Iman,
MSD State Lobbyist, Brent Franzel, MSD Federal Lobbyist (via phone), Rebeccah Bennett,
Curtis Royston, III and staff. Ms. Harshman called the meeting to order at 7:30 a.m.
The first item was a discussion regarding the District’s State and Federal
Legislative Priorities, which staff is required to present to the Board each year. General
Counsel, Randy Hayman, presented to the Committee the State and Federal Legislative
Priorities for 2008. The Federal Legislatives priorities include, but are not limited to: securing
funding for wastewater and stormwater projects through federal grants and SRF funding;
support legislation establishing a Cleanwater America Trust Fund for water infrastructure; and
seeking federal funding of drainage improvements in North St. Louis City and County and on the
River Des Peres. At the State level, MSD will also seek additional SRF funding; support
legislation authorizing bond sales at the State level consistent with revenue rulings; and support
legislation that increases the penalties for stealing manhole covers. Consistent with past years,
the District will make every effort to obtain government funding for projects and develop
legislation that best protects the District’s interest. After Mr. Hayman’s presentation, the
Committee voted to present the State and Federal Legislative Priorities to the full Board for their
consideration.
Staff updated the Committee on the status of the long-term control plan’s public
participation requirements. The long-term control plan will serve as a blueprint for how MSD
intends to address our area’s combined sewer overflows. A federal requirement of the long-
term control plan is formal public participation. In accordance with the public participation plan
that was reviewed with the Stakeholder Relations Committee earlier this year, MSD will be
forming a Stakeholder Advisory Committee to assist in gathering public input. Staff will meet
with the Advisory Committee regularly over the projected 18-month timeline for the public
participation process. While the Advisory Committee will serve an important role in the process,
they will not have final say over the public recommendations that become part of the LTCP.
Rather, their specific role will be the following:
• Provide third-party advice on strategies and tactics to move the public participation
process forward;
• Serve as an ambassador for MSD in the community; and
• Provide feedback and information that the District might not be able to obtain on its own.
Given the future importance of the long-term control plan for our community, the
Stakeholder Relations Committee has asked staff to make a presentation on public participation
activities at a future Board meeting.
Executive Director, Jeff Theerman, informed the Committee that under the
Charter, the District is required to consider Charter changes every ten years. Staff is currently
reviewing items that would help streamline the operations of the District. Staff recommended
working towards developing an Advisory Committee to review and assist with Charter changes
to occur in 2010.
The Director of Information Systems, Barb Mohn, brought forth discussion
regarding the donation of District cell phones to the “Cell Phones for Soldiers” program. The
District attempts to return older cell phones to vendors for trade-in credit on newer model
phones. It was suggested that in recognition of MSD colleagues who have served in Operation
Freedom, that the District would donate all cell phones that are functionally obsolete and have
no trade-in value to the “Cell Phones for Soldiers” program that provides pre-paid calling cards
to soldiers serving overseas. Motion was made to forward this item for Board review. This is
Item No. 60, Resolution No. 2751, on tonight’s agenda.
Vicki Edwards, Director of Human Resources, briefed the Committee on the
District’s annual pension comparison as required by the pension plan. The District’s plan was
compared to four governmental plans in the State of Missouri. It was concluded that the staff is
not recommending a change in the pension for this coming year.
There being no further business, motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Rosenberg,
seconded by Ms. Harshman. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 a.m.
As noted, the Stakeholder Committee voted to bring to the full Board, for its
consideration, the Federal and State Legislative Priorities as presented by staff. A copy of each
document was placed in front of each trustee.
Ms. Joyce-Hayes asked what legislation the District is seeking regarding the theft
of manhole covers. Mr. Theerman responded that the District seeks to strengthen the existing
laws. Mr. Rosenberg motioned that the Board accept the Federal and State Legislative
Priorities for the upcoming session. Mr. Goffstein seconded motion.
Motion passed - voice vote, all ayes.

Mr. Karam reported that the Program Management Committee met on December
5, 2007 at 11:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by trustees Karam, Rosenberg, and Joyce-
Hayes.
The minutes of the November 1, 2007 meeting were approved.
Staff made a presentation on the storm sewer collapse that occurred on November
26, 2007 at #1106 South Florissant Road. Agenda item #57 is an ordinance confirming the
Executive Director’s Emergency Declaration and appropriating funds for repairs. A summary of
that presentation will be made as part of the Executive Director’s report. The Committee
requested that staff review all potential liability considering the site was developed with full
knowledge of the location of the stormwater box culvert. The Committee also requested that a
full engineering inspection of the convenience store located next to the collapse be performed
by the District.
Staff then presented and discussed the agenda items to be introduced tonight.
There was a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Item 39 – Missouri River Bonfils Phase VI – Staff is recommending amendment
and adoption of this project. Due to the competitive bids received, staff is requesting that the
appropriation be amended from $3 million to $1.6 million.
Item 45 – Fine Road Lagoon Closure – In November, the City of Arnold transferred
all sanitary flows from the existing lagoons to the new Meramec Treatment Plant. This project
will abandon the existing lagoons at the Fine Road site per MDNR requirements.
Items 46 & 47 – CCTV Inspection – Staff is seeking to enter the first option years
on these contracts. Both contractors exceeded their performance objectives during the past
year and have provided quality service.
Item 48 – Black Creek Sanitary Relief Phase I – Staff is seeking an appropriation
and the right to enter into an agreement with Citadel Construction Management to construct part
of the District’s Capital program in coordination with redevelopment at the University Club
Towers site in Clayton, Missouri. The developer will be compensated for the construction of 500
feet of sanitary sewer just above this development, but the developer will be responsible for any
improvements within the development. Staff estimates a cost savings of $135,000 by
coordinating this work with this development.
Item 55 – Coldwater Treatment Plant – This action will transfer dollars from the
appropriation providing power for the plant expansion to the construction appropriation with no
net increase in project cost. Work originally appropriated to be performed by AmerenUE was
required to be performed by the construction contractor.
Items 64a through 64c – Staff briefly discussed why these items will require
introduction and adoption at the January Board meeting. Construction of the UR-06 project
must be coordinated with the County’s schedule to maintain construction traffic detours during
the I-40 construction. The Black Creek project must start and finish in coordination with
redevelopment at the Galleria and the start of the 2008 holiday season. Finally, the chiller
piping at the Lemay Plant needs to be completed before cooling at the facility is required this
spring. A detailed presentation of each project will be made by staff at the next Committee
meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:45 p.m.

Mr. Goffstein reported that the Audit Committee met on December 11, 2007 at
11:00 a.m. The meeting was attended by Board Trustees John Goffstein and Charles Karam.
The audit committee was presented with the status of the FY08 audit plans. The
committee was informed that Karen Vangyia, KPMG Partner out of St. Louis, will be the
engagement Partner going forward for MSD with Andy Gottschalk would be moving to the role
of IT Partner and Client Service Partner. The Trustees were presented with the following audit
reports: Legal review, Construction review, and Collection Agency review. All reports were
approved by the committee.
The Trustees were then informed by Mr. Gene Rhodes that approximately 60
employees of the District completed a control self assessment questionnaire and the
questionnaire is currently being analyzed. Mr. Rhodes indicated that he plans to present a
report of his analysis at the next audit committee meeting. The control self assessment is an
evaluation that will help the District determine it’s strengths and weaknesses along with helping
to identify potential improvements for the departments and the District as a whole.
Mr. Rhodes then indicated that the Fraud Abuse Hotline was implemented in 2003
and was contracted with Pinkerton, which later changed its name to Global Compliance. This
year the District completed an RFP for the Fraud Abuse Hotline and received 4 responsive
bidders. The lowest responsive bidder was Lighthouse for $1000 per year. Mr. Karam made a
motion to accept Lighthouse as the lowest responsive bidder for the Fraud Abuse Hotline RFP
and the motion was approved.
Mr. Rhodes also provided the committee with an analysis of the previously issued
audit findings. This analysis showed that the District has been diligently working to clear the
findings, as the number open items went from 52 to 29.
A closed session was not convened and the meeting was adjourned at 11:55 a.m.

Mr. Rosenberg reported that The Finance Committee met Monday December 10th
at 7:30 am. In attendance were Trustees Buford, Harshman and Rosenberg.
At this meeting Mr. Rosenberg updated the Committee on the status of the
stormwater and wastewater rate change proposals that were withheld for consideration at the
November Board meeting to allow for further input and discussion with stakeholder groups. Two
informal meetings were held with ad hoc stakeholder groups that included the representatives
from the City, County, Acorn, AARP, the various hospitals, the large industrial users, and the
Catholic Archdiocese. From these meetings a consensus of those present was reached that the
District should implement only the first wastewater rate increase in January 2008 and only the
first stormwater rate increase in March 2008. All future rate increases for both waste and
stormwater would be subject to the District’s resubmittal of a rate plan to the Rate Commission
covering the time period through 2012 that would include a debt financing option for the
wastewater rate and would consider an extension of the subsidy to stormwater. Items 36 and 37
on tonight’s agenda are the rate change ordinances. The Committee voted to support
consensus rate change proposal and bring that consensus to the full Board for consideration.
Mrs. Zimmerman reviewed the Districts ARC (Adjustment Review Committee) for
both September 2007 and October 2007 with a combined reduction in outstanding receivables
of ($248,000) due from customers. This report was presented and reviewed and accepted into
the record by the Committee.
Mrs. Zimmerman then reviewed the Districts Financial Position as of October 2007
with total Assets of $2,577.00 billion and forecast of Expenses of $123.2 million for FY08 in line
with projections. She also reported the District’s collection activity for the 1st Quarter FY08 from
collection agencies and law firms as $5.2 million and projected annualized FY08 collections of
$19 million. Also Receivables Aging & Collection Probabilities were presented and discussed.
As of September 30th, the District had $22.9 million in outstanding receivables. Mrs. Zimmerman
then updated the Low Income Program with the Committee and indicated that we were taking
more proactive steps to communicate the program to the Community.
Mr. Tyminski distributed to Finance Committee as well as all Trustees via E-mail a
report titled “Report on Sub-Prime Mortgage Impact to Non-Pension Investment Portfolio” and
discussed the actions the District had taken to tighten its credit standards to minimize the risk
associated with Commercial Paper Investments.
Mr. Tyminski briefly discussed the performance of the Employees’ Pension Plan
investments, noting that they were in the top 10 percent as compared with other municipal plans
for the 3rd quarter ending September 30th, and indicated that we would be making our required
actuarial remaining contribution of $3.4 million in December. He also indicated that the District
would be liquidating its position with Ark Management in order to fund the new Smidcap
manager Kennedy the first of next year.
The meeting adjourned at 9:10 am.
Motion made by Mr. Goffstein, seconded by Mr. Karam that the consensus
recommendation to amend the rate proposal be accepted. This recommendation calls for the
ratification of the first rate increase and the re-submittal of any future increases to the Rate
Commission with the use of bonding to reduce the burden to the rate payers.
Motion passed – 5 ayes, 1 nay
Poll taken: J. Goffstein aye J. Buford aye

Mr. Theerman reported that each year the Regional Commerce and Growth
Association in collaboration with the St. Louis office of Deloitte presents the Top 50 Awards that
have made an economic and civic impact on the St. Louis Region. I am proud to announce that
MSD was selected from a field of 120 nominees to be recognized in the year’s awards. The
District has over 800 dedicated employees that are working hard to provide excellent
wastewater and stormwater services to the community. This award is recognition for their
efforts.
Item 39 on tonight’s agenda, the Missouri River Bonfils Infiltration and Inflow
Correction Phase IV, is a pilot project aimed at reducing extraneous water that enters the sewer
system through imperfections in service laterals. It is estimated that nearly 50% of the storm
and ground water entering the MSD sewer system comes through the private system. The
elimination of system overflows depends on the successful reduction in this inflow and
infiltration. Staff is recommending that this item be held tonight to allow time to answer
questions that were raised by Trustees at the Program Management committee meeting. We
will discuss this ordinance further with the Program Management committee at its next meeting
tentatively scheduled for December 28, 2007 at 11:30 a.m.
On the evening of Monday, November 26, 2007, a 50 year old Stormwater box
culver collapsed near a convenience store in Ferguson. This event swallowed two parked
vehicles including one that had a passenger who was not seriously injured. These types of
events are infrequent, but do occur in sewers the size and age of the MSD system.
MSD has an emergency declaration process that allows me to enter into
emergency contracts to expeditiously address these sorts of issues and assure that the
infrastructure is returned to a working condition as rapidly as practical. In this process, we have
a list of pre-qualified contractors for various types of work. The operations and engineering staff
investigate the situation and advise the Executive Director of the need to perform an emergency
contract. To properly address the situation in a timely manner, the contract is initiated as soon
as possible and the details are reported to the Board of Trustees at the next regularly scheduled
meeting.
I have authorized a time and materials contract with Karsten Equipment Company
for the repair of the portion of the box culvert which requires immediate action. This is item 57
on tonight’s agenda.
Mr. Jonathon Sprague, with the aid of photographs, reported that around 9:30 p.m.
on November 26, 2007, a sewer collapse occurred at a service station and convenience store
located at the corner of S. Florissant and Woodstock Roads. Two vehicles were impacted in the
sewer collapse, one of those vehicles contained a passenger that had minor injuries. The
collapse was caused by the failure of a cover on a box culvert. On the site of the Shell Station.
This collapse impacted a 10x12 storm sewer. There will be a 217’ stretch sewer that will need
to be repaired and will take approximately six weeks to complete. Karsten equipment will
perform the work on this project at approximately $645,000. Mr. Sprague indicated that
$700,000 will be appropriated, the difference being contingencies. Mr. Goffstein asked what the
contractual mark-ups cost. Mr. Hoelscher responded that there is a 35% mark-up for benefits
and labor, 15% for materials, and either 5% or 10% for profit. Mr. Goffstein asked if this
construction could be done in-house. Mr. Sprague indicated that it is not typical for us to do this
type of project in-house.

Mr. Sullivan addressed the Board and indicated that he’s confused about the rate
ordinance and understood that it is to be amended. Mr. Rosenberg explained that the District is
seeking to adopt the first year of the rate increase. Mr. Tyminski explained that later in the
meeting both the wastewater and stormwater rate ordinances would be voted on. For both
increases, only the first rate change is being considered at this meeting. Earlier in the report of
the finance committee, a motion was passed to accept the consensus recommendation. That
recommendation calls for the first rate increase being ratified and any future rate increases
being sent back to the Rate Commission to discuss their impact after bonding is used to finance
the projects. Mr. Tyminski emphasized that before an amendment could be placed before the
Board, their intention to amend was needed because of the prior ordinances and resolutions in
place. Mr. Sullivan indicated that the process seemed complicated and questioned if the Board
had responded to the Rate Commission as to their intentions, as required by Charter. Mr.
Sullivan was pleased to see that Item 39 (Missouri River Bonfils Infiltration and Inflow Correction
Phase VI) was being held. He asked if the Fine Road lagoon closure would be audited and
questioned the amount of money being spent on video inspections. Mr. Theerman responded
that the amount being spent on video inspections was discussed at the May 3, 2007 finance
committee meeting.

Resolutions
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2751 WHEREAS, IT WAS THE SUGGESTION OF A
DISTRICT EMPLOYEE THAT THE DISTRICT DONATE ITS TECHNOLOGICALLY OBSOLETE
CELLULAR PHONES THAT HAVE NO RESIDUAL VALUE TO THE “CELL PHONES FOR
SOLDIERS” PROGRAM; AND THE DONATION OF THESE CELL PHONES IS IN
RECOGNITION OF FIVE MSD COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE SERVED PAST AND PRESENT IN
“OPERATION FREEDOM”.
Resolution No. 2751 was presented and read. Donations to non-profit
philanthropic private organizations are supported under Ordinance No. 9845, section seventeen.
The Cell Phone for Soldiers program has been in place since 2004. It is a registered 501(c)3
non-profit organization that has to date raised approximately $1 million in donations and has
distributed more than 400,000 prepaid calling cards to US soldiers serving overseas.
(www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com). The program works as follows: Donated phones are set to
“factory default” by the company/organization/individual making the donation. This ensures that
all proprietary data is removed from the phone. The Cell Phone for Soldiers program works with
a vendor that recycles and buys the phone components. The dollars for the components are
then used by the Cell Phone for Soldiers program to purchase calling cards which are sent to
soldiers serving overseas. (Cell phones are not donated directly to soldiers because of military
security restrictions on what can be sent to a soldier serving in a war zone and the fact that most
older phones are not GSM enabled and would not work in regions such as the Middle East.)
Motion made by Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Ms. Harshman that Resolution No.
2751 be adopted.
Motion passed – voice vote; 6 ayes, no nays

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DISTRICT.
Resolution No. 2752 was presented and read. At least annually, the District
updates the list of approved banking institutions which it may deposit funds with. Typically, the
District will invest in collateralized certificates of deposit, collateralized money market funds and
collateralized time deposits with local banking institutions. This resolution authorizes a list of
institutions that have been pre-qualified by the District. It also authorizes a list of security
dealers that may execute investment transactions on the District’s behalf.

adopted.
