The minutes of the January 4, 2012 meeting were approved. The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items: Coldwater Treatment Plant Disinfection Facilities – Staff presented the details of this project. This project must be operational by December 31, 2013 to meet current regulatory requirements. Staff indicated that the contractor believes he has an additional 5% MWBE participation from third tier sub-contractors that was not reported by his sub-contractors. The committee expressed concern over the level of MWBE participation by the low bidder and requested that any Board action be delayed one month to allow staff time to evaluate the new information from the low bidder and bring this information to the committee. These two items have been pulled from tonight’s agenda. Item 26 – Bond Place Sanitary Sewers – On January 9, 2012 a public meeting was held to describe this project. After the meeting, 10 of 12 property owners voted to have this project built at their expense. This resolution declares that there is a public interest to proceed with this project in line with the positive vote by the property owners. During the submission of Public Hearings, Michelle Meier of the Engineering Department will read the results of this meeting into the record. Staff then discussed the status of the fiscal year 2012 Capital Programs. The program is ahead of schedule and under budget. Staff will consider moving up contingency projects from fiscal year 2013 as the financial situation at the end of this fiscal year becomes clearer. Finally, in response to a request by the committee, staff looked into doing additional water quality monitoring in-house instead of by contract. After evaluation, staff will re- negotiate the contract with the current vendor, so that staff will perform some of this work resulting in a savings of $123,000. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 a.m. - - - - Mr. Buford reported that the Finance Committee met on February 7, 2012. In attendance were Trustees Berry, Buford, Yates, Ross and Visintainer. The Committee approved minutes from the January 10, 2012 meeting. Mr. Tyminski reported on the planning for fiscal year 2013 debt financing. He stated the bond election date is set for June 5, 2012 with contingent pricing of the bonds planned for July 26th. In anticipation of a successful election, the introduction and adoption of ordinances to establish the needed legal team will be placed on the April Board agenda. The possibility of a special March Board meeting to facilitate the financing process was discussed. Ms. Zimmerman reported a $22,000 amendment to the Black and Veatch rate design contract is needed to cover the cost of developing unanticipated rate design scenarios required during the Rate Commission proceedings. Ms. Zimmerman reported a $9,000 amendment to the Debt Feasibility Study contract is also needed to incorporate the outcome of the Rate Commission proceedings into required bond documents. These are Items #24 and #25 on tonight’s agenda. Ms. Zimmerman presented the December 2011 Adjustment Review Committee report as required by ordinance. The Committee accepted the report into the record. She also reported on the financial condition of the District and indicated the overall assessment continues as sound meeting all operating reserves and bond covenant requirements. Mr. Tyminski presented the Investment Performance Flash report indicating a positive but slow growth in returns. - - - - Mr. Goffstein reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met on February 7, 2012, at 8:45a.m. In attendance were Trustees Goffstein, Berry, Buford, Ross, Visintainer and Yates. First on the agenda was a discussion regarding proposed Charter Plan amendments and the possible placement of those amendments on the June 5, 2012 ballot. There are twelve (12) proposed propositions that encompass numerous changes to the Plan. MSD's outside counsel discussed the proposition language and order on the ballot. Mr. Tyminski indicated the District is working with a pollster to evaluate how the propositions should be presented on the ballot to ensure the public understands the language and issues as presented. A discussion was held regarding the various costs involved in placing the amendments on the June, August or November ballots. The proposed propositions will be presented at the next Board meeting. Next, the committee discussed the Disparity Study contract. Mr. Theerman stated that the contract was brought to the Board for introduction in January without first taking it to a committee, to honor the Board's request to expedite the matter. He asked if there were any questions the Board had regarding the contract prior to considering adoption. There were no comments or questions regarding this matter. Mr. Theerman then discussed bringing interim MWBE goals to the Board for consideration. Mr. Claude Brown, who is assisting the District in the effort, suggested that a decision and an agenda item be brought forth in a timely and deliberate fashion to ensure the entire community is best served with agreement from all sides. Mr. Theerman suggested another 30 days be allowed to further define and clarify the interim goals to be presented and discussed. Finally, Mr. Theerman indicated that the closed session meeting for the February Board meeting has been canceled as there were no closed session items to discuss and the public meeting will begin at 5:00pm. - - - - The Executive Director reported that As mentioned in the Stakeholders report, the Board would be considering placing charter amendments on the June ballot this next month. We have amended tonight’s agenda to include this as an item that will be brought to the Board for introduction and adoption at the next meeting. A detail sheet is also included on the agenda to provide additional information. This will allow the District to meet the June election filing deadline. Mr. Theerman called upon Mr. Sprague to provide the fourth quarter 2011 Quarterly Compliance Report, which tracks the District’s progress in reaching environmental and performance goals. Mr. Sprague reported, with the aid of a Power Point presentation, that the compliance of effluent released from the District’s treatment plants was quite strong but not perfect. Five of the seven treatment plants had perfect compliance. However, two plants had a minor discharge violation. He also noted that rainfall levels returned to a more normal level in the fourth quarter and the activation of discharges diminished accordingly. He concluded that the customer service metrics were generally strong with the exception of the emergency response rates, which were 75%. They were below the 90% goal. - - - - Mr. Sullivan addressed the Board and questioned the necessity for agenda items relating to the authorization of contracts for CCTV inspections. He commented that the District had previously indicated that it would be bringing the CCTV work in-house to save money; yet we continue to outsource this function. He also questioned the necessity of a contract change, an item on the agenda, increasing the Black and Veatch contract for work on the feasibility study by $9,000. He commented that after the District paid millions of dollars to Black & Veatch for this work, why couldn’t Black & Veatch absorb a relatively minor cost overrun? - - - - Ms. Meier from the District’s Engineering Department presented a hearing report for the Bond Place sub district. She reported that the Bond Place sub district consists of a track of 12 properties located in the southwest portion of St Louis County in the general area of Sunset Hills. The project would consist of the construction of sewers that would eliminate and abandon a current septic tank system. The cost estimate for the project is $110,000 or approximately $9,000 per property. The property owners would be given ten years to repay the cost at an interest rate of 2.5% through the Special Tax Bill process. She reported that ten of the twelve property owners voted in favor of the project, none are opposed and two are non- responsive. - - - - CONSENT AGENDA ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORD.

Proposed Ord. No. 13378 was presented and read. A requirement for larger underwritings of a municipal debt is the completion of a feasibility study that would assure either the bond or note holders that the District has the appropriate resources and ability to handle the project and ultimately repay the debt. In December 2011, the District issued $52,250,000 of revenue bonds. The transaction originally started in October 2010 and was finalized in December 2011. The extended timeframe coupled with the proposed settlement of the consent decree and the issuance of the Rate Commission Rate Recommendation Report resulted in more edits and changes to the Feasibility Study than first anticipated. This ordinance will increase the contract maximum by $9,000 to reflect the additional services needed. Motion by Mr. Berry, seconded by Mr. Buford that proposed Ord. No. 13378 be introduced.
