In attendance was Trustee Buford. Mr. Lance LeComb recommended the District enter into a contract with StandPoint Public Affairs for required public education, outreach and engagement services in related to the FY13 Private Inflow/Infiltration Public Engagement Program. The Committee agreed to forward this to the Board for consideration and is item # 28 on tonight’s agenda. Mr. Jonathon Sprague recommended the District to enter into a contract with Jason Consultants, LLC to conduct a Force Main Non-Destructive Evaluation. The Committee agreed to forward this to the Board for full consideration and is item # 55 on tonight’s agenda. Bethany Pugh of Public Financial Management (PFM) stated MSD and PFM are monitoring the potential savings from the advance refunding of the District’s $159.1 million dollar Series 2004A Wastewater Revenue Bonds. As of June 8, 2012 the debt service savings from an advance refunding was estimated at $15.4 million dollar or 9.7% of the refunded par value, with a negative arbitrage position remaining relatively high at $7.7 million dollars, or about 50% of present value savings PFM will continue to monitor this opportunity with the expectation that a recommendation to proceed with the refunding for a September sale will be made at the August Finance Committee meeting. Ms. Jeanne Vanda (PFM) stated a banking syndicate of seven firms led by Bank of America Merrill Lynch is recommended for the Series 2012A Bonds planned for August. These are Items #56 and #58 on tonight’s agenda. The District’s bond counsel, Mr. Bob Ballsrud, of Gilmore & Bell, presented and recommended policies and procedures to be used to manage the District’s tax exempt revenue bonds. These policies and procedures are based on tax exempt bond guidelines issued by the IRS. A resolution for adoption of these policies and procedures is Item # 60 on tonight’s agenda. Mrs. Jan Zimmerman recommended the District exercise a one-year option of its current ten-year contract with Vertex to provide call center and billing/collection services. This represents the seventh year of a ten-year contract. The Committee agreed to forward this to the Board for full consideration and is item # 59 on tonight’s agenda. Mrs. Zimmerman also recommended the current Stormwater ordinance be amended to allow the District to assign total sewer account balances of delinquent customers to collection agencies used by the District rather the delinquent portion only. This change will provide clarity to the current Ordinance which is silent on this issue. This is item # 57 on tonight’s agenda. Mrs. Zimmerman presented the May 2012 Adjustment Review Committee report as required by Ordinance. The Committee entered the report into the record. She also reported on the current financial condition of the District indicating it continues in a solid position. Mr. Theerman reported that District’s total FY12 operating expenses are projected to be approximately $4.6 million dollars under budget. This money will be used to accelerate two capital improvement projects, the Frederick Street Combined Sewer and Tillie Baden Newby Sewer, totaling $4.4 million dollars. These are Items # 29 and # 31 on tonight’s agenda. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 a.m. This concludes the Finance Committee Report. - - - - Mr. Yates reported that the Audit Committee met on July 10, 2012, at 7:00 a.m. In attendance were Trustees Buford and Yates. The Committee approved the minutes from the prior meeting. Mr. Loretta presented a summary of fiscal 2012 activity and summarized of the status of prior engagement findings. He presented an overview of the engagements that were performed and pointed out that there were a total of 13 engagements and 11 reports issued. Two engagements will be finalized early in fiscal 2013. Mr. Loretta continued by reporting that all engagements were either fully addressed or in the process of being implemented with the exception of one engagement that was delayed due to the Consent Decree agenda taking precedence. Mr. Loretta presented the FY 2013 Risk Assessment and Internal Audit Plan. He explained that the audit plan was designed to align the Internal Audit engagements with the identified risks and related business processes and summarized the various engagements to be performed as part of the audit plan. Mr. Lombardi of Brown Smith Wallace presented the Review of Overhead Rates report. He explained that an objective of the procedures was to determine compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 31 and stated that the engagement revealed no material errors, miscalculations or any clear errors in methodology. However, one firm was not compliant with FAR 31. As a result, Internal Audit recommended that the overhead rate utilized by the identified firm should be lowered by 5½ percentage points for both field and office. Next the external audit team from Rubin Brown was introduced. Mr. Winter of Rubin Brown presented the audited financial statements for Employee Pension, Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation plans. He also provided a copy of the Auditor Communications Letter pertaining to the plans. He stated that the plans were audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and no difficulties or disagreements with management were encountered when performing the audit. He also stated there were no known or likely misstatements identified during the audits of the Plans and that each plan received an clean opinion. Next, Mr. Winter presented the External Audit Plan and described the scope of external audit services for 2012 as well as the projected timeline for the services to be performed. Mr. White of Rubin Brown summarized the overall audit approach by the key areas of the audit plan and identified new accounting pronouncements that will have an effect on the District’s financial statements in the near future. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 am. This concludes the Audit Committee Report. - - - - Mr. Goffstein reported that the Stakeholder Relations Committee met on June 27, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. In attendance were Trustees Goffstein, Buford, Mandel and Yates. First on the agenda was a discussion by Ms. Kyna Iman regarding updates of the 2012 Legislative Session in Jefferson City. Ms. Iman provided a progress report on the 2012 Legislative Session which ended May 18, 2012; this included Senate and House Bills of interest to the District. There is no Board action required at this time. Mr. Hoelscher discussed the Private Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Program mandated by the Consent Decree. The District will implement the proposed program in a manner consistent with existing ordinances and plans. The District will also ask the Board to fund additional portions of the program at the August 2012 meeting. The final program plan will need to be submitted to the EPA no later than October 27, 2012. Finally, Mr. Theerman briefed the committee on the community meetings held at the Harrison Center to update the public on the status and progress of the disparity study. Approximately 250 people attended and the study is expected to be completed in approximately 90-120 days. An MWBE roundtable meeting was also held at the District on June 26, 2012, where approximately 20 different interest groups were represented. Each group was asked to provide their perspective regarding what would be important features in the District’s MWBE program. Several general themes immerged from these comments. These themes will be discussed further in future roundtable meetings. The meeting adjourned at 11:35 a.m. - - - - Ms. Mandel reported that the Program Management Committee met on July 3, 2012 at 7:32 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Berry and Mandel. The minutes of the June 5, 2012 meeting were approved. The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items: Items 30 & 31 – Essex Place and Tillie Baden Newby (Property Acquisition) – These two projects are part of the District’s Cityshed Program as required by the Consent Decree. Both projects were included in the capital budget for FY2013 as contingency projects with no funding. Remaining funds from the District’s FY2012 Operating Budget are being used to fund these projects. Items 32, 33 & 34 – Stormwater Infrastructure Repair in the Coldwater Creek, Deer Creek, and Gravois Creek OMCI Districts – These appropriations will provide funding for stormwater system repair projects. Projects will normally be awarded through the District’s purchasing process. Any capital work performed will require Board approval of individual contracts. These OMCI Districts cover all or part of 47 different municipalities and unincorporated St. Louis County. Item 35 – Deer Creek Sanitary System Improvements – This ordinance is an amendment to the existing Watershed Consultant contract with Parsons Water and Infrastructure. Individual project ordinances and amendments are included in Items 36 through 48. The write-up for this ordinance describes the consolidated activities, costs, and MWBE participation to date compared to the contractual requirements for all watershed projects. Staff reviewed each of the projects in detail and answered questions by the Committee. Staff reported that the total appropriations requested for the Deer Creek Watershed Consultant is $236,000 below budget. Staff also reported that with these appropriations, total MWBE involvement for this contact will be 31.35%, exceeding the contract requirement of 25%. Item 49 – Lower & Middle RDP CSO Controls System Improvements – This ordinance is an amendment to the existing Watershed Consultant contract with Jacobs Engineering Group. Individual project ordinances and amendments are included in Items 50 and 51. The write-up for this ordinance describes the consolidated activities, costs, and MWBE participation to date compared to the contractual requirements for all watershed projects. Staff reviewed each of the projects in detail and answered questions by the Committee. Staff reported that the total appropriations requested for the Lower and Middle RDP Watershed Consultant is $590,000 over budget due to an acceleration of $900,000 of design work originally scheduled for FY2014 for the Jefferson Barracks Tunnel. Staff also reported that with these appropriations, total MWBE involvement for this contract will be 27.59%, exceeding the contract requirement of 22%. During the discussions regarding these two watershed contracts, common issues were discussed between the staff and the Committee. These included –  Staff reviewed the Watershed delivery process. The Executive Director will review this process in his report.  Overhead rates were audited for the cost plus portions of these contracts.  Next year, staff will report on performance on these two contracts as well as review consultant long range plans to meet the contractual MWBE goals.  The Committee stressed the importance of communicating program progress and successes to residents and public officials. The Committee also stressed the importance of notifying local residents and officials the type of temporary impacts these projects will have on them. Staff discussed the role the Communications’ Consultant being introduced tonight would have in that process. Items 52, 53 & 54 – These three ordinances will permit staff to use condemnation proceedings if needed to acquire easements for these Consent Decree required projects. The Committee requested staff to investigate if legal costs incurred by the District during the condemnation process could be used to reduce the District’s offer for easement rights. Item 23 – Lemay WWTP Secondary Improvements – Staff reported that when this ordinance was read for introduction last month, it was incorrectly reported as a supplemental appropriation. This is actually an original appropriation for a new project. The wording has been corrected and this project is listed in the Consent Agenda for adoption this evening. Item 61 – Resolution on Selection Criteria for Professional Services – This resolution would establish a policy that MSD would not use foreign corporations or business entities unless there is insufficient competition. In response to a question by the Committee, staff responded that MSD could legally implement this policy. The Committee took two comments from the public. The first set of comments was made by Mike Jones representing the County Executive’s Office. Mr. Jones indicated that the County Executive’s Office was not in favor of this proposal and felt there should be a broader discussion around local preference if that is what the Board desired. Mr. Jones also indicated that he felt it was inappropriate for this Resolution to take effect immediately and that it should only be looking forward. Finally, Mr. Jones expressed his concerns about the Board moving forward on trade policy issues that would be better handled by the County and City of St. Louis. In response to Mr. Jones’ request for the City’s opinion of this Resolution, the Committee indicated that the Mayor’s Office had the same concerns. The second speaker was Mr. Aaron Griesheimer representing the SITE contractors’ organization. Mr. Griesheimer indicated that he disagreed with Mr. Jones and was in favor of a local construction contractor preference. The Committee explained that the Resolution addressed Professional Services procurements only and not low bid procurements like construction. The Committee directed that the Resolution be sent to the full Board for consideration on July 12, 2012. Finally, staff reported that assuming eventual adoption of all items on tonight’s agenda, the capital program to date will be $4.2 million under budget. In response to a previous Committee request, staff plans on bringing additional projects to the Committee in August to start the public hearing process required to add new projects to the capital program. The meeting was adjourned at 9:29 a.m. - - - - Mr. Theerman reported that as mentioned in the Program Committee Report, MSD is using the concept of Watershed Consulting Teams to deliver much of the engineering work required in at least the first ten years of the consent decree. The use of this concept provides a consultant team to assist in improving long term delivery schedules and cost, provides readily available expertise to address unforeseen issues in a timely and cost-effective manner, and allows MSD to take advantage of reduced costs due to economy of scale and the elimination of a learning curve for every project. The total program foresees the use of 5 Watershed Consultant Teams to deliver engineering services and 3 Watershed Consulting Teams to deliver construction management services. On tonight’s agenda are 17 individual project appropriations for two of these Watershed Consulting Teams, the Lower and Middle River Des Peres Team lead by Jacobs Engineering Group and the Deer Creek Team lead by Parsons Water and Infrastructure. While the agenda and ordinances only refer to the lead consultant for each team, the Watershed Consultant process was set up to require the use of multiple companies on each team. 16 firms are serving as sub-consultants on one of these two teams, and 5 other minority or women owned consultants are participating on both of these teams. The selection process to date indicates that when half of the 8 Watershed Consultant Teams have been selected, approximately 35 of the 46 firms expressing interest will have a part in these contracts. 9 of those 35 firms will be participating on more than one team with 8 of those firms being minority or women owned businesses. In the future the proposed construction management Watershed Consultant Contracts will provide more opportunities for firms who provide expertise in that field. MSD will still have additional design work to be performed by in-house staff as well as individual projects beyond the capacity of our in-house staff to be awarded to consulting engineers. The first of these projects has already been presented to the Board and 9 more are scheduled to be awarded later this fiscal year. Item 58 on tonight’s agenda is and ordinance designating the underwriting team for the District’s 2012A revenue bonds. This item has been amended since the Finance Committee meeting to be an approximately $275,000,000 issuance. This was included on the agenda as a $250,000,000 and more recently a $300,000,000 issuance. The decision on the amount to be issued is fairly complex, involving the projected expenditures in the capital program as well as numerous financial considerations. The $275,000,000 figure will allow the District to accelerate the capital program, if it is in the best interests of the District and its customers. Bethany Pugh of PFM Financial Consultant, the District’s financial advisor, is here to outline for the Board the reasons for the recommended change. Mr. Theerman called upon Ms. Bethany Pugh from the financial advisory firm of PFM who indicated that the determination of the amount of bonds to be issued is a somewhat complex process that seeks to balance the current low interest rates with the amount of construction that will be performed over the next 15 months. This amount may change because of market conditions. - - - - Ms. Jessica Perkins, co-owner of a professional services firm that was included in a recent response to a request for proposal, indicated that the District’s new MWBE policy is flawed. She explained that it does not fairly credit an MWBE that serves as a prime contractor, which is capped at 15%, but a certified sub consultant has no cap. - - - - Mr. Mike Jones representing St. Louis County addressed the Board and stated that Resolution 3045 limits professional service firms to those whose home office are domiciled in the United States and indicated that his previous comments that were included in the program Management Committee report accurately reflected his position, and that such a resolution would negatively impact the St Louis region which is striving to be a the player in a global economy. - - - - Mr. Stephen Gregali representing the City of St Louis, addressed Resolution 3045 that limits professional service firms to those whose home office are domiciled in the United States and indicated that passage of this resolution would run counter to the economic development efforts of the region. - - - - Mr. Craig Toter, President of Ross & Baruzzini, addressed the Board and indicated that Resolution 3045, if passed, would have a destructive consequence. He pointed out the global nature of the engineering business and how the flow of work regularly crosses borders. This cross border workflow can add to the St Louis economy and not detract. He pointed out that his firm is a long-standing firm founded by people from the St. Louis region and for purposes of competitive advantage to both his firm and the region sold to a foreign operation. - - - - Mr. Jon Omvig Operations Manager representing AMEC, pointed out that his firm whose parent company is headquartered outside the United States has a strong US presence and employees a staff of 92 who live and work locally. He emphasized that 90% of the work will be performed locally. - - - - Mr. Bruce Wyllie, President CEO of American Council of Engineering Co., in MO, based in Jefferson City, spoke on behalf of their our 118 firms and opposed resolution 3045 to restrict foreign ownership for competing design work for MSD in St. Louis. ACEC Missouri opposes this resolution for several reasons: it is not an objective but an arbitrary criteria based on foreign ownership, it diminishes the District’s ability to procure the best design approach to a project, and it increases the project cost to the ratepayer. The District’s QBS process has served the rate payers, the District and the engineering community well for many years. Highly professional and respected and should not be amended for such an arbitrary criteria. - - - - Mr. Michael Smith from SAIC, which is the largest subcontractor to AMEC urged the Board to vote against resolution 3045. - - - - Mr. Bob Welsch from STANTEC Consulting an engineering firm whose home office is in Canada indicated that his firm employees 4,700 people in the United States in 150 different offices, and urged the Board to vote against resolution 3045. - - - - Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and indicated that there is $37.2 million in design work on this agenda and with all the design work associated with the consent decree the District should consider increasing in-house staff to handle this workload on a more cost justified basis. He also felt that the public relations work should be handled in-house. - - - - CONSENT AGENDA ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORD.

NO. 13436 APPROPRIATING $5,650,000.00 FROM THE SANITARY REPLACEMENT FUND TO BE USED FOR PROJECT COSTS FOR THE REHABILITATION OF SANITARY SEWERS IN INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRS (REHABILITATION) (FY2012 CONTRACT C) (11836) IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI; AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SECRETARY-TREASURER ON BEHALF OF THE METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH INSITUFORM TECHNOLOGIES USA, LLC FOR THE AFORESAID REHABILITATION. Proposed Ord. No. 13436 was presented and read.
