Mr. Visintainer reported that the Program Management Committee met on June
29, 2010 at 7:00 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Berry, Visintainer, and Ross.
The minutes of the June 1, 2010 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed,
including a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Item 20 – Coldwater Sanitary Relief – This is the second time this project was bid.
During the first solicitation, the low bid of $5.9 million was found non-responsive to MSD’s
MWBE policy. Per Resolution No. 2474, instead of accepting the second low bid of $7.2 million,
all bids were rejected and the project was re-bid. The resulting appropriation request is $1.6
million below budget.
Items 21 through 30 – General Service Contracts – These 10 contracts are used
to supplement internal staff by providing expertise in areas not available within the District and
to provide resources during peak load periods or for unplanned projects. Total MWBE
participation for these projects is 48%.
Staff then gave a detailed presentation on the use of contracted field investigation
and planning resources by reviewing the CSO Parkridge projects. Staff described the field
services used including Inflow and Infiltration investigation and the use of CCTV and flow
monitoring. Staff demonstrated the cost effectiveness of using these resources and described
the additional benefits of information on existing MSD asset condition. During and after the
presentation, staff answered questions from the Committee regarding field procedures, public
response, and benefits of the work done.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 a.m.

Mr. Feldhaus reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met at the
District’s Headquarters on June 17, 2010, at 7:30am. In attendance were Trustees Feldhaus
and Visintainer, as well as District Directors and staff.
Mr. John Lodderhose brought forth a discussion regarding the Storm Water
Educational Radio Ads. This project will consist of the development and airing of five (5)
different storm water educational radio ads as required by the District's Phase II Storm Water
permit. The ads will be broadcast on four (4) different radio stations in the St. Louis for a total of
over 400 spots. A motion was made by Mr. Visintainer to present this issue before the full board
and said motion was seconded by Mr. Feldhaus. This is Item number 31 on the agenda.

The Executive Director reported that The District Charter requires that a Plan
Amendment Commission be created every ten years for the purpose of reviewing the Charter
for potential revisions. For the past year, a commission of twelve citizens from St. Louis City
and County has been in place and has reviewed the District Plan from cover to cover. The
report is available to the public by visiting the District’s website at www.stlmsd.com. Tonight we
have one of our Plan Amendment Commissioners, Ms. Susan Gamble, to give a brief report on
the Commission’s findings and answer any questions the Board may have.
Ms. Gamble reported that she is one of twelve Commissioners to serve on the
MSD Charter change Committee that met on a monthly basis from July, 2009 through May,
2010. The Commission approached the Charter Change Review by going through each section
on a page-by-page basis. Some of the significant recommendations for change are: removal of
the legal boundary descriptions included in the Charter and make them available upon request;
streamline the sub-district creation process and make the process more equitable so that the
District does not incur costs for a sub-district that is not approved by a majority of the impacted
residents; removal of the Professional Engineer requirement for the Executive Director position;
allow for payment of Trustees to attend committee meetings; change certain procedures in the
Rate Commission process; broaden the group of employees that are considered unclassified;
modernize the form of the public notice process, and make references gender neutral.
The Executive Director continued by informing the Board that this spring residents
of the Dog Town neighborhood experienced several occurrences of basement backups related
to heavy rains. This is an unusual situation, different than what the District usually confronts in
that this area has experienced significantly increased problems over a very short period of time.
We are working with area residents on solutions to prevent backups in addition to investigating
the condition of our numerous sewers that serve the area. We will be holding a follow-up
meeting with our customers later in the month to communicate what we have learned. We have
included this issue as an item on our next Stakeholders Committee agenda.

Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and raised questions about the District’s
handling of a sewerage release into the Mississippi River near the Jefferson Barracks Pump
Station. The Board indicated that Mr. Theerman had kept them informed. Mr. Theerman
indicated that two crews worked around the clock to resolve the issue, but there was a
breakdown in the internal communication that resulted in not informing the Department of
Natural Resources on a timely basis. Mr. Theerman emphasized that this is not MSD’s style of
handling situations of this nature and he has apologized to the appropriate individuals at the
Department of Natural Resources about this issue.
