St. Louis, MO 63103
Dear Trustees;
The mission of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD)
is to protect the public's health, safety, and water environment
by responsibly providing wastewater and stormwater
management. In fulfilling our mission, we focus on delivering
sound fiscal management and fostering a business -focused
culture throughout the organization.
SUBMISSION OF REVISED FISCAL YEAR 2011 BUDGET -
In the spring of 2008, the District initiated an impervious
charge for stormwater services. Subsequent to the initiation
of these rates, MSD voluntarily rolled back all ad valorem
taxes, both District -wide and in taxing subdistricts. The result
of these voluntary rollbacks was the assessment of a zero
percentage tax rate on all property since that time.
In August of this year, the Board of Trustees suspended the
impervious stormwater charge as the result of a circuit court
ruling, which, in effect, nullified the user fee. At the same
meeting, the Board approved the reinstatement of voter
approved user fees and began the process of reintroducing
the taxes that existed prior to the impervious charge.
These actions were taken with the understanding that the
reinstated fees and taxes would be inadequate to provide
complete stormwater service and related infrastructure
maintenance throughout MSD's service area. At present,
these reinstated fees and taxes are simply the only practical
revenue sources available to the District for stormwater
activities.
Staff first submitted a budget for fiscal year 2011 (the period
covering July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011) in May 2010.
The Board subsequently adopted the submitted budget in
June 2010, However, the circuit court ruling and the
subsequent loss of impervious stormwater charge revenue
require that staff submit a revised fiscal year 2011 budget to
the Board. Thus, the document before you reflects the loss of
impervious stormwater charge revenue, the reimplementation
of voter approved fees and taxes, and the necessary budget
revisions for MSD's activities through the remainder of fiscal
year 2011. The taxes are being reinstated subject to and in
accordance with Hancock Amendment limitations.
Financial cuts have been made throughout the District by all
departments. These cuts will result in the loss of $20,274,039
in funding versus the budget that was adopted in June 2010.
Unfortunately, these cuts will entail corresponding cuts in
stormwater service throughout MSD's service area.
STRATEGIC BUSINESS AND OPERATING PLAN (SBOP) —
The District's management is committed to running this utility
like a business and making it accountable to our customers
and community stakeholders. A key aspect of this effort is the
District's Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP).
3
The FY2011 Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP) is
a business -focused blueprint for serving our customers now
and into the future. It is a plan that puts the customers and
the St. Louis community first.
The SBOP is tied to the budgeting process to ensure that
initiatives are properly funded. Each department prepares a
base budget that covers funding for its day-to-day operations,
and an incremental budget for strategic activities that are to be
implemented throughout the budget year. A detailed budget
review process ensures an in-depth review of all budgetary
requests. If fiscal constraints require reduced funding, the
costs of strategic objectives are identified so that proper
decisions can be made.
WASTEWATER PROJECTS - Perhaps the most important
part of MSD's mission today is the execution of the multi -billion
dollar, multi -decade Capital Improvement and Replacement
Program (CIRP). The long-term goals of the CIRP are to
protect the health and safety of our St. Louis community
through the renewal and expansion of the District's existing
wastewater collection and treatment capabilities. As we
continue our progress with the FY 2011 CIRP, more and more
work will be done on the collection system itself.
This work is reflected in new or continuing infrastructure
projects, located throughout the District's service area, totaling
$117.3 million. These projects are funded primarily from the
Sanitary Replacement Fund, and represent a $2.3 million or
1.9% decrease from the budget previously adopted on June
10, 2010
STORMWATER - The Missouri Department of Natural
Resources has issued a Phase II Stormwater permit to MSD,
St. Louis County, and 59 county municipalities. Under the
provisions of this permit, MSD is the St. Louis Coordinating
Authority for our separate municipal stormwater sewer system.
St. Louis County and the municipalities are co-permittees.
Per the Phase II Storm Water Management Plan, MSD has
again committed significant resources to this important effort.
Not only does this work help us meet MSD's legal obligations
as a stormwater permit holder and as the St, Louis
Coordinating Authority, but it significantly reduces the overall
compliance burden incurred by our co-permittees. Such an
approach allows for a comprehensive and meaningful
direction to our community's Phase II Stormwater efforts.
The District has 2,980 miles of stormwater sewers that has
received little to no maintenance. With the implementation of
an impervious stormwater charge in 2008, MSD hired
additional staff to adhere to a consistent maintenance level for
our entire stormwater sewer system.
Beyond basic maintenance of our stormwater system, there
are a number of other stormwater issues that MSD does not
currently cover — such as erosion, overland flooding, etc. — but
it maybe in the best position to address on behalf of its
customers and our St. Louis community. As the new
impervious rate is fully implemented, MSD will work with the
community and its customers to identify additional stormwater
services.
In the fiscal year 2011 budget previously adopted on June 10,
2010, the District tentatively planned 80 stormwater projects,
totaling $29.9 million. Due to the loss of the impervious
stormwater charge, the revised budget reflects $21.7 million in
stormwater projects. This represents a $7.3 million or 25%
reduction from that originally planned. These projects will now
be primarily funded by property taxes previously eliminated
upon the implementation of the stormwater impervious rate in
March 2008.

ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS RETOOLING — Our business
software applications help us do everything from generating
payroll to managing customer calls to producing work orders
and financial statements. For years now, we've dealt with a
patchwork of systems that are not well -integrated, not good at
sharing data and are often so old that finding software support
is difficult —if not impossible.
So, beginning in 2007, we launched the first phase of the
Enterprise System (ES) Retooling project that will replace all
our patchwork of software systems with a single, more
efficient system. Step one required us to consolidate and
upgrade our Geographic Information System (GIS) so that we
could better integrate map data with other MSD databases.
In 2009, the project continued in a big way as we tackled the
software applications that run our core business activities:
asset management and work order processing, including
purchasing. In September and October, we trained 450
employees at three different training centers in these new
processes. We successfully implemented the new system in
November 2009.
In spring 2010, we will continue implementation of systems,
financials, our supply chain and project management. In the
fall, we will adopt new systems in benefits, time reporting,
payroll and learning management. By the time we are finished,
we will have made changes in the handling of nearly all our
businesses processes.
This is an expensive undertaking: $12 to $13 million for
acquisition and implementation, but we know our customers
will benefit from this higher level of performance. We expect
ES Retooling to pay for itself in six to eight years, while
addressing MSD's business needs for years to come.
CHARTER CHANGE COMMISSION — We are required to
have a commission of citizens review our charter every 10
years and recommend changes to our Board of Trustees. If
the Trustees agree, the potential changes are placed on the
ballot in both St. Louis City and St. Louis County for voter
approval. Each group of voters would have to approve
changes before they would take effect. This budget
incorporates funds to cover an election if that is necessary.
Twelve citizens from St. Louis City and County have been
appointed by our Board of Trustees to serve on the
commission, and they are reviewing various chapters of the
charter. In order to help them in their process, we have
compiled a list of potential changes that have been raised by
stakeholders, trustees and staff in the past. The list is not a
staff recommendation nor is it intended to be all inclusive but it
provides the commission issues that have been brought up
before.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION S OUTREACH — Green
infrastructure is becoming more popular both across the
country and in our St. Louis community. As part of its support
for green initiatives, MSD launched its rain barrel program in
2009, selling over 1,500 rain barrels to customers. MSD is
currently conducting another sale.
We submitted to the EPA in August a long-term control plan
for combined sewer overflows (CSOs). To develop the long-
term control plan, we engaged the public through open
houses, presentations to business, community, environmental
and municipal groups, meetings with key stakeholders and
much more. The plan we submitted reflected the feedback
obtained from these stakeholders. The plan called for
reducing CSO discharges to the Mississippi River tributaries
and employing green infrastructure in the areas where CSOs
discharge directly into the river. Green infrastructure includes
green roofs, rain barrels, rain gardens and porous pavements.
5
We estimate the price tag for the entire CSO plan to be about
$1.9 billion,
Through our Community and Municipal Outreach Programs,
we are reaching out to community stakeholders and
addressing gaps in the public's knowledge of MSD. We are
also reaching out via other outreach efforts — such as
neighborhood project meetings and Phase II Stormwater
activities. In fiscal year 2011, we will continue these efforts to
educate and enlist the support of the public.
DIVERSITY — Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE)
firms have had extensive participation in the District's Capital
Improvement and Replacement Program (CIRP). In FY 2009,
MWBE participation in construction projects was 42.3%, and
MWBE participation in design and consulting projects was
24.4%. As evidenced by these numbers, MWBE participation
in the CIRP has been an important part of our diversity efforts.
In addition, MWBE participation in general purchasing
transactions was 7.4°%. MSD was also the recipient of awards
for excellence in minority and women business utilization from
the St. Louis Minority Business Council (SLMBC) and the St.
Louis Council of Construction Consumers (SLCCC).
As MSD continues the important work we are doing to protect
our environment, we will continue our efforts to ensure the
District and our service providers are reflective of the diverse
community we serve.
EXCELLENCE IN MANAGEMENT — MSD received the
Excellence in Management Recognition award from the
National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA),
during a ceremony at NACWA's 2010 Winter Conference. The
Excellence in Management Recognition Program recognizes
public clean water utilities that implement progressive
management initiatives and thereby advance the goals of the
Clean Water Act. MSD received the Excellence in
Management Recognition award based on its efforts in
strategic planning, customer satisfaction, employee and
leadership development, operational optimization, financial
viability, and stakeholder understanding and support. This is
MSD's second NACWA Excellence in Management
Recognition award. MSD previously won in 2007. NACWA
agencies are eligible to reapply for the award three years after
winning.
BUDGET SUMMARY — As the Executive Director of MSD, I
affirm that rates and charges as currently implemented will
generate sufficient revenues to meet all expenditures as
proposed in the revised fiscal year 2011 budget and will
provide adequate operating liquidity as directed in the District's
Debt Management Policy. Furthermore, current rates and
charges are adequate to ensure District compliance with all
obligations as provided in the Master Bond Ordinance,
adopted by the Trustees on April 22, 2004.
The revised operating budget for fiscal year 2011 includes
$150.0 million for day-to-day operations reflecting an $8.2
million or 5.0% decrease from the budget previously adopted
on June 10, 2010, and $4.0 million for the District's Water
Backup Program. The total revised operating budget for fiscal
year 2011 is $155.1 million.
Proposed expenditures for the fiscal year 2011 annual budget
are separated into five main categories. The numbers
projected in this fiscal year 2011 budget are based on the
current rate schedule that was approved by the District's
independent Rate Commission in 2007. We plan to ask the
Rate Commission to examine another rate proposal in fiscal
year 2011. That proposed rate increase is not reflected in this
budget.
6
In fiscal year 2011, we pledge to continue to scrutinize our
business practices, deliver sound fiscal management, and be
fully accountable to the public for the ways in which we spend
their money. We will continue to improve our customer service
levels and our efforts to inform the community of our
operations and needs. We will persist in addressing the
health, safety, and environmental needs of our St. Louis
community. In short, we will work to prepare the District, its
customers, and our community for the challenges of the
future.
Sincerely,
2kc..
Jeffrey Theerman, Executive Director

2010.2011 BUDGET
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District's budget & financial policies set forth the basic framework for the District's overall management of
operations taking into account changing circumstances and conditions. These policies assist the decision making process of The Board and
provide guidelines for evaluating both current activities and proposals for future programs.
Balanced Budget Policy
Section 7.130 of the District's Charter requires a balanced budget be submitted to The Board for approval.
In no event shall the total amount of proposed expenditures for the budget year from any fund exceed the estimated revenues
to be actually received plus any unencumbered balance or less any deficit estimated for the beginning of the budget year.
The Annual Budget must be balanced. All funds, Department operations and services, supported by the financial resources of
the District, must function within the limits of these resources identified or available specifically to them. A balance must be
struck between revenues and expenditures so that the public can realize the benefits of a strong and stable utility. By law,
budgets cannot exceed available resources, defined as revenues generated in the current period added to balances carried
forward from prior years.
• Pursuant to the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Charter, Section 7.130, not later than the fifteenth day of March in each
year, the Executive Director will submit to The Board a budget for the ensuing fiscal year, an explanatory budget message, and
a general appropriation ordinance conforming with such budget. The budget shall provide a financial plan for the budget year
for all District and subdistrict funds.
Operating Budget Policies
• Historical levels of funding and expenditures shall be included in the budget to provide comparisons. Financial forecasting of
future requirements shall be included to provide estimates of future financial and operating conditions.
• Whenever approved by The Board, the Executive Director may transfer any unencumbered appropriation balances or portions
from one classification of expenditure to another.
• Per Section 7.160 for the Charter, at any time during the budget year, upon recommendation of the Executive Director, The
Board may, by ordinance, make supplementary appropriations if (1) the Executive Director estimates that such appropriations
will not result in a deficit at the end of the budget, or (2) The Board shall adopt an ordinance or ordinances consistent with the
requirements in Section 7,140 providing additional revenues and the Executive Director estimates that the amount to be
actually received there from during the budget year will equal or exceed the amount of such supplementary appropriations.
9
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued)
• The District will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the budget and will prepare regular reports
comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts.
Basis of Budgeting
• The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District is legally required to prepare its annual budget utilizing the encumbrance method of
accounting. The recognition of an encumbrance occurs when a purchase order is issued to or a contract is signed with a
vendor. Encumbrance accounting is the process of formally recording encumbrances in the ledger as reductions to the
budgetary accounts to ensure that total actual expenditures plus related commitments do not exceed appropriations. The
funds and accounts of the District are maintained on the encumbrance method to demonstrate compliance with finance related
legal and contractual provisions. Revenues are recognized when they are obligated to the District (for example, wastewater
user charges are recognized as revenue when bills are produced). Appropriations lapse at year-end only to the extent of the
unencumbered balances. Open encumbrances at year end are reviewed and closed, if not associated with a specific contract,
service or vendor.
Revenue Policies
• The District will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to minimize short -run fluctuations in any one
revenue source.
• The District will follow an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
• The District will establish wastewater and stormwater user charges, tax rates and fees at a level related to the full cost
(operating, direct, indirect and capital) of providing the service. Voter approval is required to implement tax rate increases.
• The District will review wastewater and stormwater user charges, and fees annually to determine if the revenues support the
cost of the service. Rate increases to generate needed revenues are required, per Charter Section 7.040, to be submitted to
the District's Rate Commission for review and recommendation to The Board.
• The major revenue sources of the District include Wastewater User Charges, Stormwater User Charges, Revenue Bonds,
Grant Income, Investment Income and Connection Fees.
Investment Policies
• The District will maximize the return on all cash available for investment without sacrifice of safety or necessary liquidity.
• The Secretary -Treasurer will develop and maintain a comprehensive, well -documented investment reporting system. This
system will provide The Board with appropriate investment performance information.
10
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued)
Debt Policies
• The Board shall authorize and approve all debt issued for the purpose of financing portions of District's CIRP as well as debt
that may be issued for the purpose of refunding any outstanding District debt.
• The District will confine long-term borrowing to finance authorized capital improvement projects or to refund, on a current or
advanced basis, outstanding debt obligations.
• The District may issue long-term debt (general obligation or revenue bonds) where it is deemed that capital improvements
should not be financed from current revenues. Long-term borrowing will not be used to finance current operations or normal
maintenance. Long-term debt will be self-supporting and structured such that the weighted average maturity of the debt does
not exceed the expected useful life of the capital project.
• The District may issue (1) general obligation bonds to finance capital improvement projects that result in community -wide
benefits (2) revenue bonds to finance capital improvement projects serviced from the net revenues from a particular enterprise,
such as sewer service.
• The weighted average maturity of the debt issue will not exceed the useful life of the projects to be financed. Final maturity of
the bonds will not exceed 30 years from the date of issuance.
• Issuance of general obligation bonds requires 57% approval of those voting at primary and general elections and a 67%
approval at other elections. Issuance of revenue bonds requires simple majority approval of those voting.
• No general obligation bonds shall be issued in an amount, which together with existing indebtedness of the District or a
subdistrict exceeds in the aggregate 5% of the value of all taxable tangible property in the District and its subdistricts.
• Any general obligation bonds issued under the District charter shall mature over a period not exceeding 20 years from the date
contracted.
• For the purpose of refunding, extending, or unifying the whole or any part of its valid bonded indebtedness, the District may
issue refunding bonds not exceeding the principal amount of the outstanding indebtedness to be refunded and the accrued
interest to the date of such refunding bonds.
11
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued)
Debt Policies (Continued)
• Short-term borrowing may be utilized as authorized by District Charter, Section 3.020(13), for the temporary funding of capital
projects or for operational cash flow deficits subject to the following policies:
• District may issue short-term debt when there is a defined and adequate repayment source.
• Lines of Credit may be considered as an alternative to other short-term borrowing options if it is determined to be more
cost-effective.
• Other short-term debt, including commercial paper notes, may be used when it provides an interest rate advantage or
as interim financing until market conditions are more favorable for long-term debt issuance.
• Per Charter Section 3.020, the District may use short-term debt to provide for the borrowing of money in anticipation of the
collection of taxes and revenues for the fiscal year. The amount of such loans shall at no time exceed 90% of the estimated
collectible taxes and revenues for the year yet uncollected.
Reserve Policies
• The operating reserve is a balance maintained in the General Fund and Special Funds combined to accommodate fluctuations
in annual revenues and expenditures. The District currently maintains a minimum fund balance of 60 days or 16,4% of the
next years annual operating expenditures for working capital.
• The District will maintain a minimum of $4,000,000 in the Emergency Fund for any unexpected event.
• Funds will be reserved to comply with the terms and conditions of the debt instruments used to finance capital improvement
projects.
• Property taxes levied by the District and other revenue received for construction in particular taxing subdistricts will be reserved
for that use.
12
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued)
Capital Improvement and Replacement Policies
• The District shall prepare a long-term plan for wastewater infrastructure projects to relieve backup complaints and/or for the
correction of identified sanitary sewer capacity inadequacies and deficiencies and/or for the correction of bypasses and
overflows. This plan shall include stormwater projects to prevent flooding and erosion threatening homes and property. This
plan shall be used to develop a five year CIRP and make all capital improvements accordingly. This five year plan shall be
updated annually.
• The Board adopts the CIRP as a planning document, but does not appropriate the identified multi -year expenditures. These
expenditures are legally authorized during the year at the time a fixed contract is awarded.
• The District will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the District's capital investment and to minimize
future maintenance and replacement costs.
Financial and Accounting Policies
• An independent audit shall be made of all accounts of the District at least annually by a certified public accounting firm that
shall be engaged by The Board.
• Monthly financial reports will be submitted to The Board and District Staff.
• District financial information will be available through monthly financial statements, the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) and Annual Budget.
• The District will produce annual financial reports in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as
outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Basis of Accounting
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) shows the status of the District's finances on the basis of "generally accepted
accounting principles" GAAP. In most cases, this conforms to the way the District prepares its budget. Exceptions are as follows:
1. Principal payments on long-term debt within the Enterprise Funds are applied to the outstanding liability on a GAAP basis, as
opposed to being expended on a budget basis.
2. Capital Outlay within the Enterprise Funds are recorded as assets on a GAAP basis and expended on a budget basis.
3. Depreciation expense is recorded on a GAAP basis only.
13
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued)
Financial Structure
The District's financial structure is organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with fund specific
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balances, revenues and expenditures. Governmental resources are allocated to
and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are
controlled.
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions are financed. The acquisition, uses, and balances of the District's
expendable financial resources and the related liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds. The measurement focus is on the
determination of changes in financial position rather than upon net income. The following fund types are used by the District:
General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be
accounted for in another fund. The General Funds consist of eleven operating departments:
1. Board of Trustees
2. Rate Commission
3. Civil Service Commission
4. Secretary -Treasurer
5. Executive Director
6. General Counsel
7. Human Resources
8. Finance
9. Information Systems
10. Engineering
11.Operations
Revenue Funds
The Revenue Funds account for all wastewater and stormwater user charges billed to customers. User Charge proceeds are recorded in the
Revenue Funds and allocated to the various other funds to cover operation and maintenance costs and capital improvement expenditures.
Operation, Maintenance and Construction Improvement Funds (0MCI)
These funds account for the proceeds from past tax levies in the various subdistricts. These are primarily stormwater dedicated subdistrict
assessments which fund projects specific to each subdistrict's geographic area. There are currently 23 subdistrict&
14
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued)
Construction Funds
The Construction Funds are established to receive and disburse proceeds from revenue sources and restricted for construction of
improvements to sewerage and drainage collection systems and treatment facilities. The District has two construction funds that support the
majority of the CIRP:1) the Sanitary Replacement fund and, 2) the Stormwater Replacement Fund. Use of these funds is dedicated to
sanitary and stormwater projects, respectively.
Debt Service Funds
The Debt Service Funds are established for bond issues sold by the District. These funds provide for the accounting of receipt and
disbursement of monies designated for payment of principal and interest and redemption of outstanding bond issues. A distinct fund is
established for each of the District's bond issues.
Special Funds
The Special Funds are established to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures for particular purposes. The
District's current Special Funds consist of the following:
1. Improvement Fund —to account for the cost of any improvements and special tax bills issued for any improvement.
2. Real Property Improvements and Alterations Fund —to account for the repair, renovation, expansion, improvement and alteration of
the District's real property.
3. Water Backup Insurance and Reimbursement Fund — to account for customer water backup insurance claims resulting from over
charged lines or blocked mains.
4. Emergency Fund —to account for monies needed to address emergencies. Such emergencies require immediate District response.
Examples are sewer repairs and replacements to immediately address severe disruption in the operations and maintenance of the
District, weather related disruption of District operations, and other disruptions of District services caused by dramatic unforeseen
events.
15
BUDGET PROCESS
The District's Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP) is the key to the development of the Annual Budget. The SBOP process begins
in July when all Departments are given the opportunity to reassess goals, strategies and objectives and the means for accomplishing them.
The budget serves as the tool to communicate the District's long-term plans and policies to the public, details the costs of services and
programs and becomes the plan to accomplish the District's goals and objectives during the next fiscal year.
The budget process begins in early October with the projection of revenues (wastewater and stormwater user charges, investment & other
income). District -wide imperatives and budgetary parameters are established by Executive Management and The Board of Trustees ("The
Board"). The imperatives for this fiscal year include:
1. Evaluate and reduce minimize growth of the operating budget, as regulatory programs will drive budget increases in coming years.
2. Execution of wastewater and stormwater user fees as described in the rate change ordinances.
3. Execution of the Capital Improvement & Replacement Program as described in the January 2008 wastewater rate proposal.
4. Address litigation in the best interest of the St. Louis Community including environmental protection, safety and health, and economic
realities
5. Continue to seek improvements in collection of past due service charges.
6. Position the District to maintain institutional knowledge as staff transitions through personnel retirement.
7. Continued emphasis on employee and leadership development.
8. Manage funding needs to support the District's Water Backup Insurance Program,
9. Continue community outreach and education initiatives to inform ratepayers about the St. Louis area's wastewater and stormwater
infrastructure needs and the role that the community can take in ensuring a safe and healthy water environment.
Department Directors and Managers begin budget development by providing an updated expenditure forecast for the remainder of FY10. A
two step, zero -based budgeting method is used to develop the FY11 budget. This method requires written justification as to need and purpose
for all expenditures. The first step is the preparation of a base budget that reflects the ongoing day-to-day operations of each Department.
The second step is the preparation of an incremental budget, which reflects costs associated with initiatives outlined in the SBOP. Through
out the budget development process, Departmental Staff is required to evaluate programs and identify possible changes in services and Staff
positions. The Department Directors forward their proposed base budgets to the Director of Finance for analysis. Cost benefit business cases
to support incremental budgets are submitted to the Executive Director for review. The base budgets and requests for incremental funding
are then compiled and further analyzed to ensure the preliminary budget meets the District's needs, priorities, goals and objectives without
exceeding forecasted resources, Results toward FY2010 performance measures and accomplishments are also provided for inclusion in the
District budget documents.
Any unresolved issues are presented to the Executive Director for a final decision. The recommended budget reductions and adjustments are
then incorporated. Per Charter a preliminary budget is delivered to The Board of Trustees ("The Board") for review by the March 15T A
series of budget presentations are given to The Board's Finance Committee to allow for more in-depth review by the Trustees.
The Board's recommended budget adjustments are then incorporated into a final budget document. A proposed financial plan and an
Executive Summary of the Budget are communicated to the general public in the form of a public hearing. The public hearing is advertised in
the newspapers at least three weeks before the scheduled hearing in order to allow sufficient time for the public to review and ask questions.
The Board is then required to adopt the budget, tax and rate ordinances (if applicable) consistent with the District's Charter and State Law.

BUDGET PROCESS (continued)
The District's fiscal year begins on July 1st. Departments are accountable for budgetary control throughout the fiscal year. Expenditure
patterns are examined and compared to budget plans with variances reported. Written responses to significant variances are required
quarterly from each Department and reviewed by the Director of Finance. Budget status is reported to The Board at its monthly Finance
Committee meeting, The Director of Finance reviews the District's monthly financial statements and budget variance report ensuring the
District's actual revenue is sufficient to support budgeted expenditures. Forecasted expenses are also compared to budget.
The District's operating budget is adopted at the Department level as detailed in the District's Budget Ordinance. Any transfers between
Departments or Funds require Board approval. Budget transfers are made on an as needed basis.
Expenditures for the Capital Improvement and Repairs Program ("CIRP") are presented on an appropriated basis as opposed to a cash flow
basis. Governmental accounting procedures require an adequate budget to pay for an entire contract to be available and appropriated in the
period in which a contract is entered. All outstanding CIRP encumbrances remain open until a project is completed.
A budget is developed for both revenues and expenses:
1. Revenue expectations are developed from trend analysis, incorporating upcoming rate increases and significant economic and
policy factors.
• FY2011 Total Revenues are budgeted at:
Wastewater User Charges: $213.6
Stormwater User Charges: 4.8
Taxes 26.5
Revenue Bonds: 89.0
Investment and Other Income 5.6
Use of Fund balances .22.91
TOTAL REVENUE $336.6
2. Operating Expenses are developed using a zero based budgeting method with written justification for all expenditures. The CIRP
is developed by the District's Engineering Department based on the revenues forecasted for the coming year. Projects prioritized
for the coming year are outlined in a supplemental report in conjunction with the Operating Budget. Debt service for the District's
existing and forecasted use of bonds is developed by the District's Treasury Department and also incorporated into the Operating
Budget.
• FY2011 Operating Expense:
Operations $155.1
CIRP 139.3

SOURCES OF FUNDING
USER CHARGES
The District has two types of user charges, a wastewater user charge and a stormwater user charge. All user charge revenue is recorded
in the associated Revenue Fund. A portion of the revenue is transferred to the General Fund to cover daily operating, maintenance and
replacement costs; a portion is allocated to the Water Backup Insurance and Reimbursement Fund to provide assistance to homeowners
with damages resulting from blocked main and basement backups, and a portion is allocated to the Debt Service Funds to retire
outstanding bonds issued for capital improvements. The remainder of the revenue is transferred to the Capital Improvement and
Replacement Funds for construction projects and emergencies. A chart detailing the flow offunds is also included in the succeeding pages
of the Budget Summary section.
Wastewater: Residential customers with metered water service vdl pay a billing and collection charge, a system
availability charge and a volume charge based on the most recent winter quarter's water usage. Unmetered
customers will pay the same charges with the exception a volume charge. Unmetered volume is based on
housing attributes such as the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures.
Non-residential customers will pay the same charges plus an additional compliance charge. Some non-
residential customers will pay extra strength surcharges for the treatment of wastes containing suspended
solids, biochemical oxygen demand or chemical oxygen demand exceeding normal wastewater strengths.
The Wastewater User Charge revenue for FY2011 is estimated at $213,840,455.
Stormwater: On March 1, 2008 the District changed its stormwater rate methodology from a flat rate basis to a
stormwater impervious area based user charge. This stormwater user charge applied to all single family,
multi -family and commercial accounts. The previous stormwater rate methodology did not provide sufficient
funding for rehabilitation and preventative maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure within the District's
boundaries. An impervious based user charge designed to provide adequate funding for the District's
stormwater program was implemented in March 2008. A July 2010 circuit court ruling nullified the
impervious based charge. In response, the MSD Board of Trustees suspended the impervious stormwater
charge and reinstated a voter approved user charge. This charge is 240 a month per each Residential and
Commercial account and 180 per each multi -family unit. This user charge revenue is estimated to be
$1,167,936 for FY11. The District is entitled to revenue generated from the impervious charge prior to the
court ruling. This revenue is estimated to be $3,742,500 in FY11. Total estimated stormwater user charge
revenue for FY11 is $4,910,436.
Other User Charges: Other User Charge revenue such as Late Fees, Lien Interest, Refunds and Account Adjustments are
estimated to be ($320,965). This amount is net of stormwater charge credits resulting from the District's
stormwater customer appeal process and a provision to recognized delinquent customer bills.
TOTAL REVENUE: The District's total FY2011 User Charge revenue is estimated to be $218,429,926.
20
The District also provides a low income assistance program. Those customers who are eligible will receive a low income credit equal to
50% of their sewer service charge bill. A composite schedule of the budgeted Wastewater and Stormwater user charge revenue by
customer class can be found in the succeeding pages of the Summary Section. More detailed schedules can be found in the Revenue
Funds section.
REVENUE BONDS
The District will issue approximately $89 million in bonds in FY2011 to be used for capital improvement projects, and anticipates issuing an
additional $51 million next year; totaling $140 million over two years.
Prior to a November 2000 Charter change, the District was unable to issue revenue bonds as a source of funding its Capital Improvement
and Replacement Program (°CIRP"). Almost all of the District's capital expenditures were funded from annual cash flow, known as Pay -
As -You -Go (PAYGO) funding. Continuation of a PAYGO approach as the District's sole funding option would have required significant rate
increases to generate the necessary annual capital funding. PAYGO is the lowest cost funding source due to it's avoidance of the financing
and interest costs associated with long term debt. The primary negatives associated with PAYGO funding include 1) The short-term impact
on customer rates, and 2) The mismatch between the cost and benefit of the Districts capital infrastructure to the users. In the case of
capital projects that have a long life expectancy, PAYGO funding causes today's customers to pay for an asset that will be used by
tomorrow's customers for many years. Financing a portion of the capital program with bonds is an excellent way to distribute the cost of
long-term assets to the future customers who will benefit from the use of the assets and lessen the impact of short-term rate increases.
It is typically considered good public policy to allocate a portion of the cost of long-term assets to future users by the use of debt. At the
same time, prudent fiscal policy would not allow 100% debt financing. The goal is to strike the correct balance between the distribution of
the cost of long-term assets to the users that benefit from them and maintaining healthy financial ratios.
AD VALOREM TAXES
Prior to calendar year 2008, all taxpayers within the District's boundaries were assessed 2¢ (two cents) levy per $100 of assessed
valuation to pay for a portion of the District's General Administration. All taxpayers within the District's original boundaries were assessed a
50 (five cents) levy per $100 of assessed valuation to pay for a portion of the District's stormwater operation and maintenance costs. These
prior taxes were replaced with stormwater revenue generated by an impervious area associated with each customers property. In July
2010, a circuit court ruling nullified the impervious based stormwater charge. In response, the MSD Board of Trustees reinstated the use
of ad valorem property taxes. This tax revenue is recorded in the General Fund of the District and estimated to be $14,814,860 for FY11.
Property tax levies assessed for all twenty-three taxing subdistricts within the District's boundaries have also been reinstated during
FY2011. All subdistrict taxes collected within these boundaries are held in the Operation, Maintenance and Construction Improvement
(OMCI) funds and must be used primarily for stormwater related capital improvements within the specific subdistrict boundaries in which
the taxes are collected. This tax revenue is estimated to be $11,647,056 for FY11.
21
INVESTMENT INCOME & OTHER
Investment Income and Other Fees will fund $5.6 million of the Budget. An investment retum of 0.75% is assumed on all beginning fund
balances. $3.1 million is expected to be generated from connection fees that are based on a flat rate per connection to the sanitary system.
These revenue estimates are based on previous experience, current economic conditions and anticipated new home construction. Rental
income from tenants at the 2350 Market building is expected to generate $264,000. Miscellaneous Income comprised of refunds of court
costs and attorney fees is estimated at $310,000.
GRANT INCOME
Anticipated Grants will fund $3,000 of the FY2011 Budget.
All grant amounts are based on commitments made by the Federal, State, and Local governments. Stormwater projects include State
grants from the State stormwater program, which are limited to one third of a project's eligible cost. Also included are Local grants for one
third of a project's cost from municipalities that have made commitments.
In the past, large Federal grants were available to help defray the cost of major clean water projects. Currently, however, the Federal
govemment has decided to leave the funding of these projects to the local users of the system. The District will continue to aggressively
pursue all possible grant opportunities.
FUND BALANCES
These sources of funding will result in a fund balance increase of $2.9 million during FY 2011.

Section Three, Wastewater User Charges.
so
(A) Metered Property.
(1) Each metered property shall be charged a Base Charge and a Volume Charge as set forth in Appendix I. The
Volume Charge shall be calculated separately for each Property, using the most current determination of Contributed Wastewater Volume.
(2) Extra Strength Surcharges. Extra Strength Surcharges for the treatment of wastes containing Suspended Solids,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand or Chemical Oxygen Demand exceeding Normal Wastewater strengths are hereby established and shall be
billed to and collected from Non-residential Property Served by the Wastewater System at the rates for each User Account set forth in
Appendix I, and shall be collected in addition to the charges imposed by Subsections (1) and (3) hereof.
(a) A User shall be subject to Extra Strength Surcharges in any month if that User's water usage in such
month equals or exceeds eight thousand cubic feet.
(b) Each User subject to Extra Strength Surcharges shall submit to the District on forms supplied by the District
pursuant to the Sewer Use Ordinance, a certified statement setting forth the strength and volume of Wastewater discharged by the User into
the Wastewater System or into any sewer connected thereto. The data set forth in such statement shall be obtained from samples collected in
accordance with accepted procedures from the manhole or adequate place as described in the Sewer Use Ordinance at a time period
representative of normal operational conditions and analyzed utilizing Standard Test Procedures.
(c) Analytical data reported by the User discharging such Wastewater will be considered current for each
subsequent billing period until such data is reported inaccurate and replaced by updated certified data by said User. The results of routine
scheduled sampling arid analyses by the District may be used in lieu of data reported by said User if such data is found to be not current or in
error.
(d) An Extra Strength Surcharge shall be collected from any User subject to Extra Strength Surcharges as
provided for herein for the discharge into the Wastewater System of Suspended Solids (SS) which average concentration exceeds 300
milligrams per liter or Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) which average concentration exceeds 300 milligrams per liter, with said Extra
Strength Surcharge ("ESS") calculated for each billing period according to the following formula, to wit:
0.00624 x V x [(SS-300) x RSS + (BOD-300) x RBOD]
ESS = 2000
(e) If the BOD/COD ratio of a User's Wastewater is equal to or less than 0.35 the BOD measurement may not
be considered representative of the User's actual Wastewater strength. The District may substitute Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) which
average concentration exceeds 600 milligrams per liter, with said Extra Strength Surcharge ("ESS") calculated for each billing period
according to the following formula, to wit:
0.00624 x V x [(SS-300) x RSS + (COD-600) x RCOD]
-6-
91
ESS = 2000
In the above formulas the following terms shall mean:
ESS = Extra Strength Surcharges.
300 = Maximum concentration of total BOD in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
300 = Maximum concentration of total Suspended Solids in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
600 = Maximum concentration of total COD in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
0.00624 = Conversion factor for milligrams per liter to pounds per hundred cubic feet.
V = Volume of water usage or Wastewater discharged expressed in hundred cubic feet.
RSS = Rate for SS in dollars per ton.
RBOD = Rate for BOD in dollars per ton.
RCOD = Rate for COD in dollars per ton.
2,000 = The number of pounds per ton.
(f) All Extra Strength Surcharges shall be calculated separately for each Property using the Wastewater
now proportioned average strength concentration for each strength parameter and the most current determination of Contributed Wastewater
Volume.
(3) Non-residential Property Compliance Charge. A Compliance Charge shall be collected from all Non-
residential Property Served by the Wastewater System at the rate for each User Account as set forth in Appendix 1 and shall be collected in
addition to the charges imposed by Subsections ( I) and (2) hereof.
(4) Registration of Unmetered Water Supply. In the event Property is supplied either in whole or in part with water
from wells or any source other than a public water supplier, then such wells or other source of supply shall be registered with the Director of
Finance of the District. If such supply serves Metered Property and is not measured by a water meter, or is measured by a water meter not
acceptable to the District, then in such case, the User, at his own expense shall install and maintain an Approved Meter connected to such
water supply. Whenever a new supplier or source of water other than a public water supplier shall be put into use by Metered Property, such
source of water shall be registered with the Director of Finance of the District within thirty days.
(S) Metered Water Not Entering the Wastewater System. Where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the District
that a portion of the water as measured by an Approved Meter does not enter the Wastewater System, then the District is hereby authorized to
determine, in such manner and by such method as may be practicable, the percentage of the water measured by the Approved Meter which
enters the Wastewater System. In such case, Wastewater User Charges shall be based upon the percentage of the metered water entering the
Wastewater System. Additional Approved Meters may be required or permitted at the User's expense in such manner as to measure the
quantity of Contributed Wastewater Volume entering the Wastewater System from the Property of such User. Applications requesting
92
consideration for a reduction in the Wastewater Service Charge, because of water not entering the Wastewater System, shall be made to the
Director of Finance of the District, on forms provided by the District.
(6) Requirement of an Approved Meter for Non -Residential Property, All Non -Residential Property within the
District shall be connected to an Approved Meter. In the event Property within the District is owned by a municipality and is served by water
provided by such municipality and not connected to an Approved Meter, the District shall provide a method for estimating Wastewater
discharge by such Property which is fair and equitable, in lieu of connection to an Approved Meter, and shall bill such municipality for
Wastewater User Charges as provided for Metered Property pursuant to this Ordinance based on such estimated Wastewater usage.
(B) Unmetered Residential Property.
(1) Each unmetered residential property shall be charged a Base Charge and a RoomlFixture Charge as set forth in
Appendix I. Such charges shall be calculated separately for each Property using the most current available data regarding the number of
rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property. The Director of Finance shall determine the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such
Property from the records of the City of St. Louis Water Division or other public water suppliers, from the records of the Office of Assessor
of the City of St. Louis or St. Louis County, or from on site inspection. A User of Unmetered Residential Property who considers the
determination by the District of the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures for which such User is billed Wastewater User Charges to be
inaccurate or erroneous may appeal such determination as herein provided.
(2) Right of Entry and Inspection. The District shall have the power to enter on any Property for the purposes of
examining the use made of its Wastewater System, the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property, the number and kind of
plumbing fixtures connected with such Wastewater System, and for the purpose of inspecting or reading the Approved Meter connected to
such Property. When such examination gives reason to believe that the usage of water on such Property places a burden on the Wastewater
System in excess of that for which the User of such Property is being billed then the Wastewater discharged from such Property shall be
measured, at the expense of the User, by a water meter or meters or by a Wastewater flow meter or meters. If such measurement shows that
the flow of Wastewater is excessive, Wastewater User Charges shall be billed and collected for such measured usage as for Metered Property.
(C) Application of Wastewater User Charge Revenues. All revenues collected from Wastewater User Charges shall be
segregated, credited and deposited in a Wastewater Revenue Fund to be established and maintained by the Director of Finance of the District,
and shall be used solely to pay for the costs of the operation (including billing, administration and overhead), repair, maintenance,
improvement, renewal, replacement and reconstruction of the District's Wastewater System.
Section Four, Wastewater Monitoring Fees. When the Sewer Use Ordinance of the District or regulations of the federal
government or state government require periodic monitoring of Wastewater from Non-residential Property, whether for strength calculations,
for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System compliance, or for pretreatment program requirements, the User of such Property
monitored shall famish the District at least one report for each quarterly calendar period from an independent testing laboratory satisfactory to
the District, which report shall set forth the information required by the District on forms supplied by the District. As an altemative to
finishing the reports herein required, the User of such Property may request the District to collect the necessary samples and perform the
analysis thereof. If the District agrees to so act, the User of such Property shall be billed for and agree to pay all costs for personnel, material
•8-
93
and equipment used to collect and analyze samples from the User's Wastewater as set forth in the schedule of charges in Appendix II hereof.
Each User shall be billed based on the number of samples collected and the number and types of analyses performed during each billing
period and billed in accordance with current billing procedures. A User shall not be billed for more than four (4) such samplings per year for
each connection to the Wastewater System. Sampling and analysis undertaken for purposes other than required periodic monitoring shall not
be billed for Wastewater Monitoring Fees under this section. The District may terminate such collection and analysis at any time and it shall
thereafter be the obligation of the User of such Property to furnish the test information called for above from an independent testing
laboratory,
Section Five. Pollutants. Any User which discharges any Pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing the
effluent or sludge from the Wastewater System shall pay for such increased costs.
Section Six. All bills for Wastewater User Charges shall be prepared by the District and shall be issued monthly for services
provided in the preceding month.
The issuance of any monthly bill may be delayed by the District for good cause.
On or after May 1, 2004, the Wastewater User Charges shall be billed to the Owner or Owners of the property served by the
Wastewater System. Such Wastewater User Charges shall also constitute a personal obligation of any User of the Wastewater System
regardless of to whom the bill for Wastewater User Charges is sent and shall constitute a charge and a Gen against the Property Served,
whether or not a notice of lien has been served.
For the District's convenience, all individual Wastewater User Charges may be combined with any other charges of the
District, and all such charges may be billed together. In the event of a change in Owner or User of Property or termination of Service to
Property during a billing period, application may be made to the Director of Finance of the District for a refund or proration of Wastewater
User Charges for such billing period.
The Owner of Metered Residential Property containing more than one unit shall have the option of being charged on the basis
of Best Equated Period, The Owner may obtain an application for such change from the Director of Finance. Upon receipt of an Application
of Change in billing basis for said Property the change in billing will take effect not sooner than sixty (60) days from receipt of the
application.
Once an Owner of Metered Residential Property containing more than one (1) unit has elected to be charged on the basis of
Best Equated Period, that Owner shall not be permitted to again change.
In the event wastewater service is being provided to any parcel of real property and said parcel is being under -billed or not
being billed at all, the District shall have the authority to charge the owner of said parcel retroactively for a period not to exceed one and one-
half (1%) years from the date of discovery.
In the event said parcel is being over -billed by the District, and the current owner of said parcel can verify such over -billing,
then the District shall refund the current owner of the parcel any amount verified to be overpaid by said owner.
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District will not collect Wastewater User Charges from the owner of real property when it is
known that said real property is connected to a septic tank. Upon notification from the property owner that certain real property which is
-9-
94
connected to a septic tank is being billed by the District for Wastewater User Charges, upon verification, the District will refund to the owner
any and all of said Wastewater User Charges so collected from said owner.
Section Seven. Charge for Late Payments. On or after July 1, 2009, any Wastewater User charges billed that are not paid by
the due date indicated on any bill rendered shall bear a late payment charge equal to three -fourths of one percent (035%) per month, or nine
percent (9%) per annum, of the amount of the bill rendered and is herby imposed for each month or portion thereof that the bill remains
unpaid beyond the due date.
Section Eight. Wastewater User Charges Constitute a Lien. The Wastewater User Charges shall constitute a lien upon the
Property Served on the date a bill is rendered for Wastewater Service, and said lien shall have the same priority as taxes levied for state and
county purposes, The District may cause a notice of lien for non-payment of such charges to be filed in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds
within and for the City of St Louis or St. Louis County, depending upon where such Property Served is located. Such notice of lien shall
state the amount of the delinquent Wastewater User Charges, and shall adequately describe the Property against which such lien is asserted.
A copy of such notice of lien shall be mailed to the Owner of the Property at the last address on file with the District and the filing of such
notice in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds may be deferred as a matter of grace for not more than thirty (30) days from the mailing date.
All Wastewater User Charges that remain unpaid shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the lower of nine percent (9%) per annum or the
maximum legal rate from the time a notice of lien is filed with the appropriate recorder of deeds as herein prescribed, until such time as the
account is closed.
After such notice of lien is filed of record, the fees of the Recorder for filing and releasing said lien shall also be payable to the
District as a prerequisite to releasing said lien.
Section Nine. Termination of Service for Nonpayment. When any Wastewater User Charge has not been paid and has been
delinquent for a period in excess of three months, the District is authorized to order the water supply to be shut off for the Property for which
the Wastewater User Charge is delinquent or to remove or close any sewer connections, or both, until payment of the delinquent charge
together with the reasonable costs involved in shutting off and turning on the water, or closing and reopening the sewer connection, as the
case may be, have been paid.
When any Wastewater User Charge has not been paid and has been delinquent for more than fifteen days after the due date,
then the District may refuse to issue to the Owner and/or User a permit to connect any other Property owned or controlled by said Owner
and/or User to the Wastewater System or Storm Water System; or may refuse to review any plans submitted by or on behalf of such Owner
and/or User; or issue any permits requested by or on behalf of such Owner and/or User; or refuse to contract for any purpose with or accept
Wastewater or Storm Water from any such Owner and/or User.
