Mr. Berry reported that the Program Management Committee met on February 4,
2011 at 8:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Berry, Visintainer and Ross.
The minutes of the January 4, 2011 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed,
including a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Item 40 – Easement Acquisition for Combined/Sanitary Projects – Staff is
requesting a supplemental appropriation of $1,350,000. Due to staff’s success in acquiring
property rights at a faster rate than had been anticipated, $1.6 Million of the $2,000,000 that was
appropriated in July 2010 has been expended. This additional funding will enable staff to
continue in its efforts to acquire the property rights needed for construction.
Item 44 – Fountain/Anthony Lateral Sanitary Relief – Staff is requesting
introduction and adoption of this project at tonight is meeting. This project includes the removal
of five sanitary sewer overflows and it is possible that the removal of these SSPs may be
subject to a regulatory deadline in the future.
Staff also noted that J. H. Berra Construction Company had initially been identified
as the apparent low bidder for this project. However, within 24 hours of the bid opening, Berra
requested that they be allowed to withdraw their bid upon determining that a mathematical error
had been made in the bid preparation. Staff reviewed their request, determined that the error
was material and substantial, and therefore, allowed them to withdraw their bid.
Item 45 – Missouri River WWTP Secondary Treatment Expansion and Disinfection
Facilities – Staff is requesting introduction and adoption of this project at tonight’s meeting. The
Missouri River WWTP is under a regulatory deadline with regard to placing the disinfection
facilities into service. With the approval of the appropriation at tonight’s meeting and the
immediate issuance of the Contractor’s Notice to Proceed, it is anticipated that the project’s
scheduled completion date will only be about two weeks prior to the regulatory deadline.
Item 54 – Grand Glaize WWTP Improvements – Medium Voltage Switchgear –
Staff notified the Committee of its intent to request introduction and adoption of this project at
the March Board Meeting. The purchase of the switchgear equipment to be installed by this
project was previously approved by the Board at the June 10, 2010 Meeting. The
manufacturing of this equipment has been completed; the equipment has been shipped to the
District; and is currently being stored at the Grand Glaize WWTP facility. The bid opening for
this project is scheduled for February 10, 2011.
Staff also noted that while the switchgear is being installed, both the Grand Glaize
Treatment Plant and the Maintenance Yard facilities will be powered by two on-site generators
that will run off of diesel fuel. Staff will be requesting that the project appropriation include a
contingency of $35,000 to cover the cost of the diesel fuel and other potential costs. Due to an
existing vendor price agreement, it is more cost-effective for the District to directly purchase the
fuel than it would be to have the contractor include this purchase in the bid amount.
Following the review of the Agenda Items, Staff made a presentation on the status
of the Creve Coeur Sanitary Relief Phase I project for which an additional $2 Million in
construction funding had been appropriated at the October 2010 meeting. This additional
funding was used to stabilize the ground in the area of Creve Coeur Mill Road so that the pipe in
tunnel could be installed beneath the roadway and five water mains, ranging in size from 36-
inch to 72-inch. Staff reported that the contractor was able to successfully install the pipe in
tunnel without any damage to any of the five water mains.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 a.m.

Mr. Buford reported that the Finance Committee met on February 8, 2011. In
attendance were Trustees Buford and Visintainer. The Committee approved the minutes from
the January 11, 2011 meeting.
Ms. Zimmerman presented the financial condition of the District as of December
31, 2010, indicating a slight improvement since the prior month. She stated this improvement
primarily reflects the continuation of a favorable budget variance, particularly given the tight
budget conditions under which the District is currently operating.
Ms. Zimmerman presented a revised Budget Ordinance for the current fiscal year,
explaining it is needed to establish a reserve for legal fees and costs per the recent court ruling
in the Zweig vs. MSD litigation. She also presented an ordinance to reflect recent changes in
the District’s fund accounting structure. This Ordinance allows the transfers of monies from the
Williams and Caulks Creek OMCI funds into the Sanitary Replacement Fund. These are Items
# 46 and # 47 on tonight’s agenda. She then presented the December 2010 Adjustment Review
Committee report as required by Ordinance. The report was accepted into the record.
Mr. Tyminski indicated pension investments earned 11.9% as of the year ending
December 31, 2010, with no major changes to the asset allocation structure. Staff will be
bringing forth a recommendation for a new Emerging Market Debt Manager for the Committee’s
consideration.
Ms. Zimmerman distributed a copy of the District’s new Low Income Assistance
brochure. She indicated the new program has been substantially expanded and now makes
assistance available to residential tenants throughout the metropolitan area
Finally, Ms. Zimmerman introduced Kathleen Langevin, the District’s new
Accounting Manager to the Committee.
- - - -
The Executive Director reported that the District has once again received the
award for Distinguished Budget Presentation from the Government Finance Officers Association
for fiscal year 2011 and the Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance
Officers Association for fiscal year 2009. The District has received each of these awards for over
20 consecutive years. In order to receive these awards, a government entity must satisfy
stringent nationally recognized GFOA guidelines. These awards represent the highest available
form of recognition in governmental budgeting and financial reporting. I’d like to take this
opportunity to thank and commend Mike Gindler, MSD’s Assistant Accounting Manager,
Michelle Vinson, MSD’s Accounts Receivable Manager and Senior Financial Analyst Paul
Leightner for this outstanding achievement.
The Board Rules dictate that the Chair of the Board alternate between City and
County Trustees every two years. Mr. Goffstein’s term as Board Chair will end next month. At
the March meeting, the City Trustees will be asked to nominate and second a County Trustee
for Chair. Likewise, the county Trustees will be asked to nominate and second a City Trustee
for the position of Vice Chair. An election of the Board Chair and Vice Chair will follow with all
Trustees voting.

Mr. Eddie Hassan from AABCA addressed the Board and asked that the Board not
approve the contract for the Missouri River Waste Water Treatment Plant Expansion and
Disinfection Project until the District’s M/WBE policy is reviewed and modified to provide more
meaningful participation. He indicated that staff is well intentioned, but the method used by the
District to account for the minority participation of suppliers, distributors and brokers is flawed.
He pointed out that the monies paid to these vendors are counted at a 100% rate towards the
District’s M/WBE goal when their activity provides little or no M/WBE workforce on the jobsite.
He felt that brokers should be only credited with the fee portion of their payments and suppliers
should be counted at the rate of 20¢ to 50¢ per dollar paid. He felt that subcontractors that do
provide an on-the-job workforce should be credited at 100%. He also raised a concern over the
qualifications of a WBE on the Missouri River contract that is scheduled to handle rebar work.
Mr. Goffstein asked if anybody has been prohibited from bidding. Mr. Hassan
indicated that this has not happened. Mr. Goffstein asked Mr. Hassan to be more specific and
noted that he was of the understanding that the District’s M/WBE program has had a good
participation rate. Mr. Hassan responded that the process used to select the rebar contractor for
the Missouri River project did not seem appropriate.
Mr. Buford asked how this issue can be rectified going forward. Mr. Hassan
indicated that the District needs to attain meaningful and legitimate participation and model the
program after some of the other programs in the area such as St. Louis City Public Schools or
the City of St Louis.
- - - -
Mr. Murray Edwards addressed the Board and indicated that he is the President of
the Contract Design & Development LLC, a local firm that installs reinforcing steel. He also
asked that the Board not approve the proposed contract for the work at the Missouri River
Treatment Plant until the District’s M/WBE program is reviewed and modified. He commented
that he has previously bid on District work and has also had discussions with the proposed
contractor, Goodwin Brothers. He indicated that Goodwin Brothers had commented to him that
the District “runs a strange program”. He is particularly concerned about the work that is to be
performed by the masonry/rebar contractor and their qualifications for that role. He felt that their
selection did not comply with CFR 49-26 and had discussed his concern with the Inspector
General of the US EPA. He also indicated that he is to meet with the Inspector General the
following week. He indicated that he is open to working with the District, but would work outside
the District, if necessary.
Mr. Goffstein commented that he did not want to hold up the work of the agency,
but is open to working with members from the African American Business community in
reshaping the District’s M/WBE program.
- - - -
Mr. Carmel Maclind addressed the Board and commented that he is a hauling
contactor that bid on the subcontract work for the Missouri River Project. He expressed
frustration about the lack of specific rules related to the District’s M/WBE program as it relates to
haulers and what amounts can and cannot be counted under the program. He also felt that the
classification of a hauler versus a supplier or distributor was not being handled in a fashion that
is consistent with the transportation projects that he has been involved.
Mr. Goffstein asked if staff would like to comment on the issue. Mr. Theerman
responded that District management has met with Mr. Hassan and the supplier accounting issue
is an issue that needs to be addressed and it was our intentions to do so by the end of the fiscal
year. Mr. Theerman also noted that the proposed contractor complied with all the bid documents
that were in the bid package. Mr. Hassan commented that the project would be shut down. Mr.
Edwards commented that he is the former Chair of the National M/WBE committee and he
discussed the issue of “front businesses” with both District management and with the EPA
Inspector General, Mr. Edwin. He indicated that he would prefer to work with the District on this
issue, but, if necessary, work to shut the project down. He noted that the Inspector General had
audited several M/WBE programs in our area, which resulted in fines to the various entities for
being non-compliant with CFR 49-26.
- - - -
Mr. Terry Briggs of SITE Improvement addressed the Board and asked that as
favorable bids are received on projects such as the $32 million for the Missouri River WWTP
and another $1.1 million for item #44 on the agenda, that these savings be used to fund sewer
construction projects. Mr. Goffstein asked staff to comment. Mr. Hoelscher responded that the
Missouri River Treatment Plant project was originally on the contingency list and was moved to
the current fiscal year. Consequently, any savings would benefit future years such as 2013 and
beyond. He did note that two sewer construction projects were moved into this fiscal year, a
project of $5.5 million in Creve Coeur and the $2.2 CSO-McKnight Interceptor. Mr. Berry asked
why the full $32 million of savings for the Missouri River Project not be available until 2013. Mr.
Hoelscher explained that the Missouri River Project is to be partially funded by an SRF loan and
partially funded by cash. Both the project and the loan for the project were accelerated into the
current fiscal year. The loan dollars, being obtained through the State Revolving Loan Fund, can
only be used for the Missouri River Project. The loan dollars were planned to carry the project
through the current rate cycle, and the cash funding would be in the next rate cycle that begins
in 2013.Therefore the savings to be used are in the next rate cycle that begins in 2013. Mr.
Hoelscher indicated that we are planning to spend $4 million more in this rate cycle for sewer
construction.
Mr. Briggs also mentioned that the former Board Secretary, Sherri Nackley passed
away earlier today. He noted that she was a fine human being that served the District well.
- - - -
Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and expressed concern about item #40 that
he considered an open-ended authorization for easements. He felt that Board authorization for
specific easements was a better control over the expenditure of funds than the current mass
approval process. He also commented that not much is heard from the Internal Auditor and why
aren’t the audits available on the District’s website? He commented about the District’s use of
front groups and concluded by asking the District, as it goes through the budget process, to
consider improving the payout caps for the back-up insurance program.
- - - -
Mr. Aldolphus Pruitt, President of the local NAACP, addressed the Board and
indicated that he wanted to clear up the issue of federal funding. He pointed out that under Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act, if an agency receives any federal monies, it is subject to the federal
law because of the impact, intentional or unintentional, to the protected class. He also felt that
an Executive Order from the US Department of Labor would apply to the contractors if more
than $10,000 of work is to be performed. Mr. Pruitt indicated that there was a reversal of some
certification denials by the State of Missouri after a telephone call from someone at the District.
He stated that sufficient evidence exists to pursue a discrimination lawsuit against the District.
Mr. Goffstein defended the District’s program. Mr. Pruitt asked Mr. Goffstein if the District was
willing to work with his group. Mr. Goffstein indicated that the District was willing to work with
his group and wanted to comply with the law. Mr. Berry pointed out that the District wanted to
not only comply with the law but also the spirit of the law. Mr. Visintainer indicated that the
allegation related to the state of Missouri was a serious one and asked Mr. Pruitt share some
more specifics about this matter. Mr. Buford indicated that the issues brought before us are
serious allegations and if there was anyway to defer action on the Missouri River Plant project to
obtain better information. Mr. Pruitt indicated that his group could provide additional information
within 48 hours. Mr. Theerman indicated that the Board could table the issue, or pass the issue
as an introduction only.
- - - -
Ms. Yaphet El-Amin, of MOKAN, addressed the Board and indicated that she was
glad to hear that the District was interested in complying with the spirit of the law, which includes
a more holistic approach to diversity. She again raised concerns about the District’s procedure
of counting 100% the work of brokers that only receive a small fee to bring two parties together
and the selection of a tuck pointing contractor to do steel work on the Missouri River Plant
project when another steel contractor had a bid that was $700,000 lower. She questioned the
full counting for the subcontracting firm, TD4, which had a significant amount of work
disqualified on another project due to fronting. She indicated that a good start for the District
would be to adopt executive Order #28, Board Rule #75 and 49 CFR.
