The minutes of the November 30, 2010 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed,
including a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Item 23 – Capillia Sanitary Relief – The proposed appropriation for this
construction project is $790,000 less than the anticipated budget. This was accomplished by
changing the scope of the contract during design from a sewer construction project to an I/I
removal project.
Item 26 – Glendale Section D – The Committee requested that at the next
Committee meeting, staff present details of the two future projects referenced in the project
write-up.
Item 27 – Tower Grove – Manchester – In response to a question by the
Committee, staff confirmed that this project fits into the long-term improvement plan for this
area.
Item 29 – Count Drive – This is the first project for Denney, Gaines & Rogers with
the District. This company will be required to successfully complete this project before being
allowed to bid again.
Item 32 – GC-06 – The proposed appropriation for this design contract is $43,000
more than the budget. The consultant will be required to provide bank stabilization design work
associated with the new sewer that was not included in the original budget.
Item 34 – Missouri River Plant Expansion Design Phase – Staff is requesting an
appropriation for designer services during construction for the Missouri River Plant Expansion.
The final cost for extended planning, design, and services during construction are 9.2% of the
anticipated construction costs.
Items 48a & 48b – Fountain/Anthony & Missouri River Plant Expansion – Staff
notified the Committee of its intent to request introduction and adoption of these construction
contracts at the February Board meeting. Both projects have regulatory deadlines and an
additional month of construction time will benefit both projects. Staff will make a full
presentation on these projects at the February Committee meeting.
The Committee went into closed session at 8:20 a.m. to discuss Legal,
Confidential, or Privileged Matters.

Mr. Buford reported that the Finance Committee met on January 11, 2011. In
attendance were Trustees Buford, Visintainer and Ross. Minutes from the December 7, 2010
meeting were approved.
Ms. Myers updated the Committee on the renewal of a lease with Walgreens for
property owned by the District located on the northwest corner of Hampton and Gravois. She
stated that Walgreens has leased this property from the District for use as part of their parking
lot since late 1997. Item #36 on tonight’s agenda recommends renewal of this lease.
Ms. Zimmerman reported on the current financial condition of the District indicating
it continues in a positive position as of November 30, 2010. She indicated FY11 is forecasted to
be 1.4% under budget and is being monitored closely. A summary of the strategic outlook for
the District as of November 30th recognized the challenges continuing to face the District such
as instability of a stormwater revenue source and the outcome of continuing discussions with
the EPA. Ms. Zimmerman indicated billed revenue vs. collected continues to exceed 90%
although the days to collect an average sewer bill has lengthened. Ms. Zimmerman further
indicated that District revenue and expenses continue to be stable and will be closely monitored
given the current economic conditions.
Mr. Tyminski presented a proposal to adjust the District’s fund accounting
structure to eliminate overlapping taxing sub-districts and provide greater transparency in
accounting for tax monies collected and services provided. He explained these structure
changes are primarily needed to comply with bond covenants and new Governmental
Accounting Standards. The Committee discussed the need for this action and recommends
Board consideration. This recommendation is items #40 – 43 on tonight's agenda.
Ms. Zimmerman presented the November 2010 ARC report and asked that it be
accepted into the record as required by ordinance. The report was unanimously accepted by
Committee.
Ms. Zimmerman updated the Committee on the District’s Collection Remediation
Plan. Ms. Zimmerman recommended contracts be awarded to three legal firms to assist the
District in litigation related to delinquent sewer bills. These are Items #37 – 39 on tonight’s
agenda.
Mr. Tyminski indicated Pension & Investment Education for Board members will be
available again this year at the July MAPERS conference. He stated the first day covers the five
areas of training required by State law.
Mr. Tyminski reported that 2010 investment returns on total pension assets of
$197 million averaged 10% compared to the targeted return of 7.5%. He updated the
Committee on expected investment returns for the next 5 to 7 years, indicating the District’s
Investment Consultant, NEPC, is projecting the current investment asset allocation plan to earn
an average 6.2% over this time period. Staff will be bringing a recommendation for an Emerging
Market Debt Manager to the Committee for consideration in February.

District’s Headquarters on December 16, 2010, at 7:30am. In attendance were Trustee
Feldhaus and staff.

Contribution Plan being introduced by the District. Roll out dates, election options, eligibility
requirements, etc., were discussed and all will be presented and distributed District-wide by
February 15, 2011. An Ordinance was previously introduced at the November 2010 Board
Meeting and therefore no action is required at this time.
Next on the agenda was a discussion regarding changes to the District's Charter
Plan covering Articles 8 through 12. Proposed changes were reviewed by Mr. Theerman. Mr.
Hoelscher discussed Section 9 as it relates to the Capital Improvement Program, as well as
Section 3 as it relates to sub-districts. No action is required at this time and further discussions
will take place in future Stakeholder meetings.

2011. Proposed action items were discussed and a motion will be made at the February 2011
Board meeting for approval.

The Executive Director reported that as discussed in the Finance Committee
Report, the District is in the process of making a number of changes in its fund accounting
structure. This includes setting up fund accounts to allow for better characterization of
expenditures between wastewater and stormwater services. This is being done as the District
continues to assess how to manage the shortfall in stormwater revenue created by the
invalidation of the impervious charge this past summer.
This shortfall of stormwater revenue has made it necessary for the District to
reinstitute taxes that existed before the impervious charge was set in 2008. Prior to the
impervious charge, the District used taxes and user fees to provide stormwater services with
subsidization from the wastewater rates. Stormwater projects were funded exclusively by 21
OMCI taxing sub-district’s which exist in MSD’s original service area. In some cases, these
taxing sub-districts overlap, which generated more funds for stormwater projects. The use of
these OMCI taxes were limited to projects in the areas where they were collected.
The District’s wastewater challenges make reinstituting the subsidization of
stormwater revenue impractical as every dollar available is needed to address regulatory issues.
Therefore, the taxes collected are essentially the only substantial means to fund any stormwater
services. While OMCI taxes will be used to fund some planned projects where previously
collected funds exist, the majority of the funds will be used to provide for stormwater
maintenance and operations. Given this situation, the District is considering the voluntary roll
back of overlapping sub-district taxes unless the sub-district has a planned project that will
require funding in the next few years. This will prevent taxing some customers twice for the
same services. The staff will present a recommendation on this issue to the Board of Trustees
in the coming months.
- - - -
Mr. Gresheimer from the SITE Improvement Association, a group that represents
the construction trades addressed the Board and followed up on a letter dated December 23,
2010, from his organization to the Board of Trustees. He asked that given the favorable bids
received for the construction work at the Missouri River Treatment Plant, that any savings be
earmarked for sewer construction work. He noted that earlier in the budget process, funds had
been moved from the sewer construction category of construction in favor of the Missouri River
Treatment Plant construction.
- - - -
Mr. Sullivan addressed the Board and questioned where MSD was in the process
of bringing the sewer inspection, CCTV, and engineering work in-house. Mr. Hoelscher
responded that we are in the process of phasing the work to be performed in-house, and noted
that this is a multi-year process where the District is about half-way complete with.
