The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items: Item 24 – Infrastructure Repairs – This supplemental appropriation provides additional funding for this project through the use of unused FY2011 Operating Budget funds. This supplemental appropriation will provide for a total of $3 million in FY2012 to address a current backlog estimated at $3.1 million. Items 27 & 28 – General Service Agreements – These ordinances provide funding for the option year for these two contracts with David Mason & Associates and EDM Incorporated. The option year for a third GSA contract with MACTEC Engineering is not being requested. The $90,000 that was budgeted for the MACTEC contract option will be split between the contracts with David Mason and EDM. Item 26 – Lemay WWTP Outfall Sewer – This ordinance requests $2.7 million in supplemental funding for this project. This supplemental funding is being requested to address the impacts of an existing 30-inch sanitary sewer tunnel that was located within the profile of the new tunneled outfall. Major activities include approximately 5 months of by-pass pumping and the installation in rock of a 12-inch and 30-inch gravity sewer siphon to re-establish to existing sanitary sewer. The existing sanitary sewer was originally to be abandoned prior to the construction of the outfall but was left in place when regulatory priorities changed. Staff provided a detailed description of the activities at the site and answered questions by the Committee. The Committee requested that a field visit to the site be scheduled so that Board members can examine the situation before being asked to consider adoption of the supplemental funding. Finally, a motion for approval for the Committee to go into closed session was made by Mr. Visintainer and seconded by Mr. Ross. The Committee went into closed session at 7:53 a.m. to discuss legal, property, confidential or privileged matters under §610.021(1) & (2), RSMO 1988 Supp. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 a.m. - - - - Mr. Goffstein reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met at the District’s Headquarters on August 18, 2011, at 11:00am.

Mr. LeComb will work with the Audubon Society and report back to the Stakeholder's Committee in September or October. Next on the agenda was a discussion by Mrs. Edwards and presentation by Ms. Sandra Marks of Marks and Associates regarding review and revision of the District's MBE/WBE Policy. At the May 2011 Stakeholders meeting, a suggestion was made to have the program reviewed by a subject matter person. The District hired Ms. Marks to perform this review. Ms. Marks reviewed the MSD policy and prepared a PowerPoint presentation recapping her findings and providing comparisons to other programs, as well as recommendations for changes and improvements to the policy. Mrs. Edwards discussed the updates, changes and steps the District is taking to facilitate and monitor the program and these changes. Discussion and commentary was then opened to everyone in attendance. Messrs. Steve Lewis with AGC, Adolphus Pruitt with NAACP and Nate Adams with TMCS raised questions and concerns that were discussed by Mrs. Edwards, Sandra Marks, Chairman Goffstein, and Jeff Theerman. Specifically, Mr. Pruitt expressed concerns about the procurement process used to retain Ms. Marks and the extent of the program review. Based on the questions raised, continued discussion and review of the policy will take place in subsequent committee meetings. Next was a discussion by Mrs. Myers regarding a legal lease agreement with Lindenwood Park Neighborhood Association for a community garden. This is item No. 29 on tonight's Agenda.

The next steps were discussed and will continue to be discussed in subsequent stakeholder meetings. Finally, Mr. Goffstein presented a citizen's comment regarding a retirement village development in South County and concerns of local citizen's relating to stormwater runoff and sewer plant problems.

Any one wishing to obtain a copy of the decree or make a comment can do so by visiting the Department of Justice website. A link to that site is included on the MSD website at www.stlmsd.com. MSD’s Rate Commission held a series of five public hearings over the last two weeks in August on the District’s proposed wastewater rate increase. All of the Rate Commission proceedings as well as exhibits, transcripts of public hearings, and presentations are available to the public on MSD’s website. Two more public hearings are scheduled, on September 26th and October 6th at 9am here at the District headquarters. I will now ask that Jon Sprague our Director of Operations present our quarterly operations compliance report to the Board. Mr. Sprague presented the 2nd quarter compliance report. He stated that the District had perfect compliance for permits at the plants, however there was an issue in July. Customer service emergency response goal is 90% and the actual is 89%. Maintenance related backups were lower than the previous quarter and the average for years 2003 - 2008 was 220 per quarter. Maintenance overflows were up slightly in second quarter, while capacity related backups were up significantly due to higher incidents of rain events where over 20 inches of rain was received for the quarter. Finally, another SSO was found bringing the total to 186 that are being removed. Mr. Buford asked how you define a rain event. Mr. Sprague replied half-inch or more over a six hour period. - - - - The public had no comments. - - - - CONSENT AGENDA ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORD.
