Mr. Ross reported that the Audit Committee met on April 12, 2011 at 7:30 a.m. In
attendance were Trustees Ross, Berry, Buford and Visintainer.
Mr. Nathan Croll from Rubin Brown, provided the attendees with a hard copy of
the Engineering Time and Material Contract Audit presentation. He stated that the audit
focused on a sample of 50 invoices across 10 consultants, which had been awarded contracts
since 2003.
Mr. Croll indicated there were three findings noted during the internal audit:
a. Documentation of overhead and labor burden rates are not consistent
b. Consultants submitted direct labor invoices with employee titles that did not
comply with contracts or amendments
c. The MSD contract is not designed to closely monitor other direct costs such as
technology fees and vehicle fees.
Mr. Hoelscher responded that the District would re-train project managers over the
next two months before the next round of contract negotiations. Mr. Tyminski indicated that a
follow-up audit would be performed to review the technology charges to determine if there is a
cost impact to the District.
Mr. Tyminski provided the attendees with a hard copy of the Effective Utility
Management Self-Assessment Final Report, and he indicated that Phase II audit work would
focus on three areas: Reporting, Inventory Control and Management, and Workers
Compensation.
Mr. Tyminski also provided the attendees with a hard copy of the Internal Audit
Services Evaluation Criteria Form and Cost Summary spreadsheet for the firms that responded
to the Request for Proposal for Fiscal 2012 and invited the Trustees to attend the interviews of
the auditing firms.
The meeting adjourned at 8:10 a.m.

Mr. Buford reported that the Finance Committee met at on April 12, 2011 at 8:30
a.m. In attendance were Trustees Berry, Buford Ross and Visintainer. The Committee
approved the minutes from the March 8th Committee Meeting.
Mr. Theerman introduced Mr. Ralph Wafer from the Missouri Coalition for the
Environment (The Coalition). Mr. Wafer attended the meeting on behalf of The Coalition as an
applicant to fill an existing vacancy on the District’s Rate Commission. Mr. Wafer was
interviewed by the Trustees present and stated he also serves on the Coalition’s Board and
welcomed the opportunity to participate in the rate setting process. Mr. Buford moved that Mr.
Wafer’s appointment be presented to the full Board for consideration. The motion was
unanimously approved. This is Item # 44 on tonight’s agenda.
Ms. Zimmerman presented the FY12 District Budget. She indicated a $161 million
Total Operating Budget is proposed for FY12 and represents a $5 million or 3.2% increase over
the current FY11 budget. This proposed Operating Budget consists of $156 million for District
operations, $3.5 million for the water back-up insurance program and $1.5 million for the
Improvement Fund. Ms. Zimmerman explained the $5 million increase primarily reflects a $2.3M
increase in the District employee pension contribution, a 1.5% Staff wage increase totaling $1.6
million and $1 million to fund a force main asset management program to address anticipated
regulatory requirements. Ms. Zimmerman explained, however, that these increases are offset by
all other components of the Operating Budget remaining relatively unchanged from FY11. She
indicated the 3.2% increase in the proposed FY12 Operating Budget is consistent with recent
inflation, which has averaged 3.0% over the last 3 years.
Ms. Zimmerman reported the proposed FY12 Operating Budget consists of $89
million in Personnel Services, which represents 55% of the District’s total Operating Budget.
The majority of this expense includes employee wages and benefits, temporary help, overtime
and pension costs. The FY12 Operating Budget also includes a proposed 1.5% wage increase
costing $3 million. This cost, however, is partially offset by $1.8 million associated with the
elimination of 37 unfilled positions.
The proposed FY12 Supplies and Utilities budgets are $12 million and $14 million,
respectively. The proposed Contractual Services budget is $40 million. This budget primarily
funds sewer charge billing and collection services, litigation costs and services and repairs
associated with the sewer cleaning program.
Mr. Hoelscher presented the FY12 Preliminary Budget Supplement that detailed
the Capital Improvement and Replacement Projects (CIRP). The proposed total FY12 CIRP is
$154 million, a $21 million or 17% increase over FY11. The proposed CIRP consists of $146
million for wastewater projects and $9 million for stormwater.
Ms. Zimmerman then presented a summary of the Total FY12 District Budget. The
total proposed District Budget is $378 million and consists of the following: a $161 million
Operating Budget, $46 million for the District’s Debt Service obligations, $18 million for
Stormwater Operations and Maintenance and a CIRP of $154 million. The proposed Total
District Budget is $25 million or 7% over the current year and primarily reflects the $21 million
increase in the CIRP, the $5 M increase associated with the proposed wage increase and
related employee benefits and a $4 million increase in Debt Service. These increases are
partially offset by a $5 million decrease in stormwater services associated with the loss of the
impervious charge revenue.
Ms. Zimmerman reported the proposed FY12 Total District Budget will again be
primarily funded by wastewater sewer charge revenue projected to be $224 million or 71% of
the District’s total revenue. Projected FY12 Tax revenue of $25 million will be used to fund the
District’s stormwater program and $40 million in bond proceeds are dedicated to funding the
CIRP. Investment income is projected to be $20 million and used to fund various other District
operations. Total District revenue is expected to be $42 million or 12% below the current year.
This decrease solely represents the issuance of fewer bonds than in prior years as the District’s
total voter approved debt authorization is exhausted. The District also anticipates using $62
million in available fund balance for CIRP projects.
Ms. Zimmerman indicated a complete copy of the FY12 District Budget is available
on the MSD website.
A public hearing to present the proposed FY12 District Budget will be held at 7:00
p.m. on May 5, 2011. The hearing will be in Room 109 at the District’s 2350 Market Street
location. The budget is scheduled for introduction at the May 12th Board of Trustee Meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.

Mr. Visintainer reported that the Program Management Committee met on April 5,
2011 at 7:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Berry and Ross.
The minutes of the February 4, 2011 and March 1, 2011 meetings were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed,
including a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Item 42 – Emergency Repair No. 45 – Staff is requesting introduction and adoption
of an ordinance to appropriate $600,000 and to approve a contract with Gross Mechanical
Constructors for this work. Staff notified the Board of an emergency situation on March 24,
2011, involving a leak in the Caulks Creek Force Main. Staff presented information on this
project and currently anticipates completion by April 15, 2011.
Item 32 – Glaise and Rock Creek Combined Sewer – Staff is requesting that this
ordinance be amended before adoption. The ordinance is being adjusted to reflect an
amendment to an existing contract instead of a new contract.
Staff will be holding a meeting for the consulting community on Thursday, April 26,
2011 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in this Board Room to review the planned status of next year’s
consultant procurement process. Board members are invited to attend if they wish.
Staff then discussed the 2010 Customer Survey results. A presentation on these
findings will be made as part of the Executive Director’s report.
Finally, staff discussed Item 45 on tonight’s Agenda, Update Feasibility Study to
Support Debt Financing. Staff is requesting introduction and adoption of this contract approval
to provide the information required to support upcoming bond sales through the State SRF
program and a stand alone bond sale. Staff is recommending a sole source contract with Black
& Veatch Corporation due to their knowledge of the information and to protect the confidentiality
of the information.
Bob Berry stated that beginning with the May Committee meeting, David
Visintainer will be the Committee Chair and Eddie Ross will be the Vice-Chair.
The Committee went into closed session at 8:10 a.m. to discuss Legal,
Confidential, or privileged Matters.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 a.m.

The Executive Director reported that Mr. Tom Ratzki is with us tonight and is the
President Elect of the Missouri Water Environment Association. He has a presentation for the
District’s Operations Department on behalf of his organization.
The District conducts two different forms of customer survey on an annual basis.
Annual surveying is conducted with a representative sample of all of the District’s customers.
Post contact surveying is conducted with samples of those customers that have called the
District with a service or billing concern. Karen Falk from our survey contractor, the ETC
Institute is here to provide the results of each of these efforts for calendar 2010. Ms. Falk noted
that the satisfaction with all major services remains high. The overall efficiency remains high,
overall satisfaction with the reasonableness of MSD rates remains high in spite of recent rate
increases, and residents continue to place a high priority on investments that will help protect
and preserve the environment. Additionally, she noted that the overall satisfaction with the
quality of service increased between 2009 and 2010 with the greatest gains being attributed to
the efforts of the field personnel in resolving questions and completing repairs on a timely basis.
The District will be holding a public hearing on the fiscal 2012 budget and capital
improvement program on May 5th. The public hearing will be held in this room at 7p, everyone
is welcome. The hearing will present the District’s operating and capital improvement budget
details and tax rates for the coming fiscal year. There will also be an opportunity for the public
to ask questions and comment on the material presented.
Item 17 on tonight’s agenda will be held. It is a condemnation that has been
resolved and requires no board action.
Item 31 on tonight’s agenda was introduced at the March Board meeting with an
incorrect appropriation amount of $4.1 million. Last months agenda also referenced this item as
a sanitary relief project involving a storm sewer. The proposed amendment corrects the
appropriation to the actual amount of $3.8 million and clears up the designation inconsistency.
Item 43 on tonight’s agenda is a contract for rate consulting services for the
District’s Rate Commission. The District solicited proposals for these services on behalf of the
Rate Commission and received a number of responses. The Rate Commission’s Technical
Services Committee reviewed the proposals and determined that Raftelis Financial Consultants
presented the best combination of experience, capabilities and cost. The full Rate Commission
approved this determination, which is why it is before the Board this evening. One issue that the
Rate Commission carefully considered is that Raftelis Financial Consultants teamed with
Jefferson Wells in performing the District’s most current management audit.
The Rate Commission determined that this did not present a conflict. Raftelis has
already completed their portion of the management audit and different consultants were named
in the Rate Commission proposal. None of the participants from the management audit will be
assisting the Rate Commission.
It is my pleasure to announce the appointment of Susan Myers to the position of
General Counsel. Susan has been serving in an interim role these past 6 months and has done
an outstanding job. She is a ten-year veteran of MSD and is extremely well suited to the wide
variety of legal issues facing the District.
Susan was selected from a group of 30 applicants that were compiled after a
national search. She holds an Engineering degree from Missouri S&T and a Law degree from
St. Louis University. While many qualified applicants expressed interest, Susan’s background
and experience made her uniquely suited to the position of General Counsel.
