Mr. Berry reported that the October 7, 2010 at 7:30 a.m. The meeting was
attended by Trustees Berry, Visintainer, and Ross.
The minutes of the September 7, 2010 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed,
including a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Item 28 – Weaver Avenue Sanitary Relief – This appropriation seeks additional
funding for utility relocation by Laclede Gas. The depth of the gas line and the need for the
asbestos abatement required to abandon the existing gas line resulted in additional costs not in
Laclede Gas’ original estimate.
Item 29 – CSO – Parkridge – This appropriation seeks additional funding for this
construction project. Approximately half of the $300,000 appropriation being requested is to pay
for the costs of disturbing an existing sink hole system in Tilles Park. Repairs were performed to
areas disturbed in the park and the system was scaled as needed to prevent further problems.
The remainder of the $300,000 being requested is to complete the installation of green
infrastructure at Mount Calvary Church to alleviate stormwater issues. This project was
scheduled to be funded from the Deer Creek OMCI as a local match to a 319 Grant obtained by
the Missouri Botanical Garden. Because work was being performed at this site as part of the
CSO Parkridge project, the installation of green infrastructure was added to this project.
Items 30 through 33 – These four design projects result in a total MWBE
participation of 64%. The Committee questioned the staff on the detailed costs of some of these
design contracts.
Item 34 – Water Quality Sampling – This is a one-year contract with two option
years. This contract is to perform sampling on six streams and at nine sites on the Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers that the District cannot cost-effectively perform itself. The District regularly
samples 34 local streams as part of its internal program.
Items 35 and 36 – Stonell – Elise Drive and Woodleaf Court – Staff is requesting
the ability to proceed to condemnation on these two projects. Staff will continue to negotiate
with these property owners even if condemnation proceedings are started.
Item 37 – Missouri River Treatment Plant – Last month, the Board adopted a
resolution declaring a portion of property at the Missouri River Treatment Plant as surplus. Staff
is now requesting that the Board approve the transfer of this property to the City of Maryland
Heights for future roadway uses. Staff will assure that all zoning issues are resolved regarding
the future construction of the Missouri River Treatment Plant Expansion before executing the
transfer of this property.
Item 39 – Creve Coeur Trunk – Staff is requesting the introduction and adoption of
an ordinance to appropriate an additional $2 Million for this construction project. The
construction contract identified the need for dewatering and the existence of poor soils in an
area crossed by five water mains ranging in size from 36-inches to 72-inches. However, as
dewatering and excavation started on the site, soil movement also became a concern. In order
to assure the integrity of the five water mains in the area, staff plans on having the contractor
perform consolidation grouting to allow tunneling under these water mains. All work will be
performed as time and material. This work must be performed in a timely manner in order to
provide an outfall for the MSD sewer being constructed by St. Louis County as part of its Page
to Olive Connector project. The Committee questioned the staff extensively on the details of the
work to be performed.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 a.m.

Mr. Visintainer reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met at the
District’s Headquarters on September 23, 2010, at 7:30am. In attendance were Trustees
Feldhaus, Visintainer and staff.
First, was a discussion by Mr. LeComb regarding the renewal of the Customer
Surveying contract by ETC Institute. ETC performs all of the District's Customer Service
Surveys and has done so for about seven years. Their contract provides for two (2) one-year
renewal options. Mr. LeComb is requesting a resolution be placed on the October Board
agenda to exercise its option for the first one-year renewal. Motion was granted by Mr.
Feldhaus and seconded by Mr. Visintainer and is Item No. 42 on tonight's agenda.
Next on the agenda was a review by Mr. Theerman of proposed changes to the
District's Charter Plan covering Articles 5, 6, & 7. This is an on-going discussion item until all
Articles have been reviewed. At such time, a decision will be made as to how to proceed with
the changes and if Board action is required.
Finally, Mr. Theerman led a discussion regarding Board Rule changes. An update
of certain language, references and designations has been recommended for Resolution No.
2494, which sets forth the governing rules of the Board of Trustees of the District. Motion was
made by Mr. Visintainer, seconded by Mr. Feldhaus to place a resolution on the November
Board agenda to adopt these changes.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:25am.

Mr. Ross reported that the Audit Committee met on October 12, 2010 at 7:30 a.m.
In attendance were Trustees Ross, Buford, Feldhaus and Visintainer.
Mr. Tyminski discussed the status of the Management Audit RFP process and
introduced the representatives from the combined firms of Jefferson Wells and Raftelis Financial
consulting. This is the organization that is being recommended to perform the 2010
Management Audit.
Mr. Stannard of Raftelis and Mr. Wadella of Jefferson Wells discussed the
proposed management audit approach and scope with the Committee. They noted that it will be
a two-phase process with a redefinition of the audit scope after the survey phase. There was a
consensus of the Committee to move forward with the proposed audit approach. A question was
raised about better defining the minority firms to be used in the second phase of the audit. The
audit team indicated that they would provide additional information. This contract is item 38 on
tonight’s agenda.
Mr. Steve Marr gave a presentation about the implementation of the Oracle
security suite of programs. He indicated that the database security and data encryption efforts
were virtually complete and the installation of the audit vault or continuous audit process was
30% complete and will be worked on over the next several months.
Mr. James Schmersahl, Partner of the firm Schmersahl Trealor addressed the
Committee on the status of the financial statement audits. He indicated that there are a few
outstanding audit items to be completed and that financial statements should be available for
the November Audit Committee meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:17 a.m.

Mr. Visintainer reported that the Finance Committee met on October 12, 2010. In
attendance were Trustees Buford, Visintainer and Feldhaus. The committee approved the
minutes from the September 14, 2010 meeting.
Mr. Tyminski updated the Committee on the status of Trustee Pension &
Investment continuing education and indicated that NEPC would be presenting educational topic
at next Finance Committee in November.
Mr. Tyminski reported to the Committee the status of the upcoming Bond Issues.
He indicated that the Financing Team for the Build America Bonds is in Place and gathering the
required information to update the Public Offering Statement used to sell the Bonds. The
resolution memorializes the finance team to handle the issuance of approximately $52,000,000
of sewer system revenue bonds during FY2011. This is item #44 on tonight’s agenda.
Mr. Tyminski then reported on the status of the Letter of Credit acceptance in
place of cash for Escrow deposits. Mr. Tyminski outlined the proposed requirements of the
Letter of Credit acceptance pending the approval of the Board’s approval of item #41 on the
agenda.
Mr. Tyminski reported that the District would be bringing the Bank of America
renewal forward to the Board for approval. He indicated this contract with Bank of America is the
option year of a two-year contract with Bank of America. Mr. Tyminski noted the District is
pleased with the service provided by Bank of America the past two years and is recommending
the renewal of this contract.
Mr. Tyminski also indicated that there would be another Bank Resolution on the
agenda, as the Federal Reserve had revised its list of Primary Dealers on September 1, 2010, is
asking for approval of the updated list, and is item #46 on tonight’s agenda for approval.
Ms. Zimmerman presented the Committee with the Budget Revisions for FY11
with the Impact of Stormwater revenue reduction on this revised Budget. Ms. Zimmerman
indicated that the reinstated taxes would help make up part of the shortfall and elimination of
Stormwater CIRP projects would eliminate the balance of the shortfall so that a balanced budget
is presented. This will be item #40 on tonight’s agenda for introduction and adoption.
Ms. Zimmerman gave her report on the current financial condition of the District.
The significant change in the Comprehensive Reporting was Billed charges vs. Collected
charges decreased to 89%. She indicated that results reflecting the impact of the current
economy and that the implementation of the Collection Remediation Plan approved in the FY11
budget is designed to address this trend. Ms. Zimmerman indicated as part of the plan, a
second placement collection agency and two additional collection law firms are in process of
being added. Ms. Zimmerman continued her discussion and presented the ARC report to the
Committee as required by ordinance and asked that the report be entered into the record.

The Executive Director reported that 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 sub-districts. The
result of these voluntary rollbacks was the assessment of zero on property since that time.
In August of this year, the MSD Board of Trustees suspended the impervious
charge as a result of a circuit court ruling, which, in effect, nullified the user fee. At the same
meeting, the Trustees approved the re-instatement of voter approved user fees and began the
process of re-introducing the taxes that existed prior to the impervious charge.
These actions were taken with the understanding that the re-instated fees and
taxes will be inadequate to provide complete storm water services and infrastructure
maintenance in the region. At present, these re-instated fees and taxes are simply the only
practical revenue sources available to the District for stormwater services.
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 required that staff submit a revised fiscal year 2011 budget to the Board. Item
40 on tonight’s agenda is a revised fiscal year 2011 budget that 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.
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.
I have approved an emergency declaration for the repair of a 10-inch sanitary
sewer that has failed beneath Interstate 70 at the airport. While this sewer collapse does not
represent an immediate danger to the integrity of the highway or the airport, it does require
expeditious repair to maintain proper operations and to prevent an environmental and safety
concerns. The district will contract with SAK Inc. to make the repair and restore the sewer to full
function. Because this collapse has occurred in the past few days, we do not presently have a
cost estimate. However, we will contract for the repair on a time and materials basis and will
have District representatives monitoring the work to assure the costs are justified. I would now
ask that Jon Sprague provide a brief report on the situation.
Mr. Sprague, Director of Operations, with the assistance of a power point
presentation, explained the details of an emergency repair of a 10-inch sewer line that crosses
under Interstate 70 at the airport in the vicinity of the Drury Inn. He noted that this line has
collapsed and is being replaced. He also emphasized that neither the airport nor the traffic on
Interstate 70 will be significantly by this repair. After Mr. Sprague’s presentation, there was
discussion with the Board members about the details of the sewer collapse.
The Board should note that the condemnation ordinance for the Fountain/Anthony
Lateral Sanitary Relief project is not on tonight’s consent agenda. Immediately after introduction
of this ordinance at the September Board meeting, staff came to an agreement with the property
owner and thus the ordinance was pulled from the consent agenda.
Please note that the November Board Meeting will occur on Wednesday
November 10th. The departure in the schedule is because the District is closed November 11th
to observe the Veterans Day holiday.
Lastly, the District’s General Counsel, Mr. Randy Hayman will be leaving to accept
a position at another agency away from the St Louis area. He echoed the staff’s sentiment that
Mr. Hayman will be dearly missed. He praised Mr. Hayman for his professionalism and
character and wished him well.

Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and also thanked Mr. Hayman for his
service as General Counsel to the District. He also questioned the need for the amount of
engineering and design contracts that are on this agenda.
