The first agenda item was a discussion regarding the Conflict of Interest Policy. The policy is updated and renewed bi-annually by ordinance. Ms. Myers has requested the ordinance to be included on the August Board agenda and is Item #86. Next was a discussion regarding renewal of the Holly Hills Lease Agreement. The agreement allows the Holly Hills Improvement Association to lease MSD property exclusively as a community rain garden. This is Item #87 on tonight's agenda. Ms. Myers presented the ADM Lease of Bissell Treatment Plant Property. This lease will allow ADM to lease a small portion of property from MSD to allow parking and relief of traffic congestion associated with the loading/unloading of trucks at ADM. This is Item #82 on tonight's agenda. Ms. Susan Myers presented a contract for State Legislative Lobbying Services with Kyna Iman, LLC. Pursuant to the review and evaluation of four proposals, the review committee determined Kyna Iman, LLC best fit the District's current needs. The ordinance to authorize execution of a contract with Ms. Iman is Item #83 on tonight's agenda. Ms. Edwards discussed the Compensation and Classification ordinance for Trade Unions. She gave an update on the negotiations with the unions. Because the discussion and negotiations with the unions are still in progress, there is no action required at this time. Mr. Hoelscher presented the District's Strategic Business and Operating Plan. The Plan was presented to the Board earlier this year and a resolution to adopt the plan is Item #89 on tonight's agenda. Finally, Myers requested to change the meeting time to earlier in the day for the August Stakeholder's meeting. Additional information will be sent to the Trustees and all will be notified when a time has been determined. - - - - Mr. Yates reported that the Program Management Committee met on July 30, 2013 at 7:34 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Yates, Patton, and Buford. The minutes of the July 2, 2013 meeting were approved. Staff began the meeting by addressing several minor questions asked at the July Committee meeting. These questions were answered to the satisfaction of the Committee. The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items: Item 71 – Lake Village Storm Improvements Completion – This ordinance appropriates $40,000 and authorizes staff to enter into a contract with Tap Utilities to complete an existing stormwater project in which the original contractor went out of business during construction. Staff explained that the remaining unfinished work associated with the project had been re-bid and the new appropriation will be added to the remaining funds of $146,406 from the original appropriation to complete the work. Any additional costs incurred by MSD above the original contract amount would be covered by the contract bond that was forfeited by the original contractor. Prior to discussion on items 74, 75 and 76 on the agenda, staff gave a brief detailed history of the District’s Green Infrastructure Program which included details on the purpose of the program, the MSD commitment of $100 million for green infrastructure as part of the Consent Decree, the on-going Green Infrastructure Pilot Program, and the proposed funding of the Early Action program on this agenda. Staff answered questions from the Committee on future maintenance of the constructed facilities, and their ability to reduce runoff. It was noted that MSD recently held a demonstration and community event at one of the newly constructed rain gardens in the Old North area of the City of St. Louis. Item 74 – CSO Green Infrastructure – This ordinance appropriates $8.7 million for the construction of Early Action green infrastructure facilities at various locations in the City of St. Louis. This work is to reduce combined sewer overflows to the Mississippi River within the Bissell watershed. This appropriation will fund the design and construction by MSD of green infrastructure facilities consisting of bio-retention and rain gardens at six locations. The program will also include a small rainscaping grant program to encourage use of rainscaping techniques by individual landowners. Additionally, MSD will participate in cost sharing via a Green Infrastructure Grant Program for various green infrastructure components of four private and public development projects. Staff informed the Committee that a total of 10 applicants applied for the Green Infrastructure funding, seven projects were approved, and a total of four are proceeding to construction. All Early Action projects require approval by the EPA to be considered for the program. Item 75 – CSO Green Infrastructure – Cortex District – This ordinance authorizes the District to enter into an agreement with the Cortex District to provide financial assistance for construction of green infrastructure facilities. Staff gave a brief overview of the project area. The Committee asked if this was the best methodology for this type of project, and if the money could be used for other types of projects. Staff provided that the program was in keeping with our commitment of $100 million for green infrastructure in the Bissell watershed and required by the Consent Decree. Staff also offered that green infrastructure projects are a cost effective solution for reducing overflows versus the construction of larger more expensive storage solutions that will be required in other areas of the District. Item 76 – CSO Green Infrastructure – North Sarah – This ordinance authorizes the District to enter into an agreement with the St. Louis Housing Authority to provide financial assistance for construction of green infrastructure facilities. Staff gave a brief overview of the project area. The Committee asked if sidewalks were included in the reimbursement. Staff indicated that only the specific components of the green facility were reimbursable. Item 78 – Sun Valley I/I Reduction – This ordinance appropriates funds and authorizes staff to enter into a contract for sewer rehabilitation. The Committee inquired whether the project has any connection to a new basin constructed near Edgewood in the City of Northwoods. Staff indicated that the Edgewood basin was constructed as part of a street widening project and the purpose was to control stormwater for a downstream flooding issue and has no relation to this project. The meeting was adjourned at 8:19 a.m. - - - - Mr. Faul reported that the Audit Committee met on August 9, 2013, at 7:30 a.m. In attendance were Trustees Faul, Berry, Buford and Patton. The Committee approved the minutes from the prior meeting. Mr. Loretta, along with Ms. Christine Pedroli of Brown Smith Wallace presented an overview of the scope, procedures and results of the Medical Plan Benefits Audit. They explained that the scope of the audit engagement focused on the medical plan year of February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013. The engagement was conducted in two phases, which involved a review of processes at the District as well as detail testing of the medical and pharmaceutical claims processed by the third-party administrator, CIGNA. The overall engagement results were assessed at a generally satisfactory rating, as four Opportunities for Improvement were identified. Mr. Loretta and Ms. Pedroli addressed questions from Mr. Berry and Mr. Buford. Mr. Jeff Winter of Rubin Brown provided an overview of the Auditor Communications Letter for the audits of the financial statements for the Employees’ Pension, the Defined Contribution, and the Deferred Compensation plans. He stated that the plans were audited in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and that no difficulties or disagreements with Management were encountered when performing the audits. He also stated there were no known or likely misstatements identified during the audits of the plans and that each plan received an unqualified opinion. Mr. Winter addressed questions from the Committee. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 am. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 8, 2013. - - - - Mr. Berry reported that the Finance Committee met on August 6, 2013, with Trustees Buford, Berry, Patton and Faul in attendance. The minutes from the July 9, 2013 meeting were approved. The items on tonight’s agenda were presented and discussed as follows: Item 85 – Telephone System Upgrade – This ordinance is being introduced and authorizes the Staff to enter into a contract with Netelligent Corporation to provide hardware, software and professional services to upgrade the District’s telephone system. This upgrade ensures MSD’s telephone communication system will continue to support its internal and external needs. Netelligent was the sole bidder, despite the District’s usual website posting, local newspaper advertisements and email notification to local vendor contacts. The Committee found this satisfactory to support Staff’s recommendation and moved the item forward for Board consideration. Item 88 – District Insurance Brokerage Services – This resolution authorizes the Staff to enter into a contract with McGriff, Seibels & Williams of Missouri, Inc., for one year with a one-year option. McGriff will provide insurance consulting and brokerage services and establish a broker of record for the District’s insurance program. Item 81 – Actuarial Services – This ordinance authorizes the Staff to enter into a contract with Milliman, Inc., for one year with four one-year options. Milliman will provide actuarial services to support the District’s retirement plans and benefit reporting. Item 84 – Pension Investment Services – This ordinance authorizes the Staff to enter into a flat fee contract with Pavilion Advisory Group, Inc., for one year with four one-year options. Pavillion will provide investment consulting services for the District’s employee retirement plans. Ms. Schaefer presented information on the current investment program in response to a previous request from the Committee on the District’s use of international brokers. Data presented supported the use of international brokers in addition to local brokers. The Committee had no further questions and agreed to continue the program under the current policy and as practice, we will continue contacting local brokers. Other Committee business - The June 2013 Adjustment Review Committee report was accepted into the record as required by ordinance. The monthly financial condition report was postponed as is usual due to the fiscal year end closing process. The status of the District’s financial condition will be reported on a quarterly basis beginning in September. The meeting adjourned at 8:24 a.m. - - - - Mr. Hoelscher reported on the status of the complaint expressed by Mrs. Nickerson at the last Board Meeting. During rain events on either April 18 or June 17, 2013, Mrs. Nickerson and 37 other rate payers experienced water in their basement during a rain event despite the fact that MSD had previously installed a backflow preventer on their lateral. MSD has investigated homes with backflow preventers that had water in their basement during this event and found that even though the valves worked and prevented a basement back-up while the sewer was surcharged, groundwater found its way through defects in the private lateral located between the valve and the home and caused basement flooding. MSD is planning to offer to replace the valves with a tank and pump which would provide positive drainage even when the sewer is surcharged. MSD has also decided to treat the homes that have experienced this type of an event as an overcharged main. MSD has sent out claim packages, which will make these homes eligible for $2400 in damage reimbursement once a claim has been filed. Next, I want to inform the Board that on Thursday, July 25th, staff held a meeting with residents located in the Hill area of St. Louis City. The meeting was in response to the extreme rain event that occurred on June 17th. On that day, severe rains came through St. Louis, causing basement backups and overland flooding in several parts of our service area. Specific to the Hill, parts of the immediate area received over 4-inches of rain in a 90-minute period, equating to a 50 to 100 year rain event. In addition to the overland flooding, dozens of basement backups occurred on the Hill. While the overland flooding is out of MSD’s control and purview, staff is investigating what - if anything - can be done to alleviate the basement backups. As we have done in other neighborhoods in the past that have experienced intense and/or frequent basement backups, Operations staff will seek to use backflow devices, where possible, as a short-term solution. Concurrently, engineering staff will work to identify if a capital project to provide longer-term relief is practical. Staff committed to engaging in updates with the neighborhood as milestones are reached in this work, which will take several months to complete. Finally, on August 1st, MSD held the last of its formal stakeholder input meetings regarding the proposed Community Benefits Agreement. This proposed agreement will outline how MSD will invest time and resources in helping our stakeholders meet those goals and lay out a plan for continuous stakeholder involvement in the process. Staff plans on presenting this proposed agreement along with the proposed budget supplement needed to help fund some of these activities at the August 15 Stakeholder’s Committee Meeting. Staff would then request that the entire Board formally consider authorizing the Executive Director to enter into a Community Benefit Agreement and also approve the introduction of a Budget Supplement at its September Board of Trustees meeting. One last thing, I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to our Director of Human Resources Vicki Taylor-Edwards. Thank you Mr. Chairman. - - - - Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and commented on an issue with the Bissell Plant overcharge where sewage went into the river again because the pump was not working for several hours. Mr. Hoelscher responded that power had dropped from Ameren UE into two of the three feeds in the plant and as soon as they reestablished power; we continued operations at the plant. Mr. Sullivan addressed his concerns with a Sunshine Request from May regarding the Bissell Plant. He has discussed this issue with Ms. Zimmerman and Ms. Schaefer. He stated all documents should be on the website and there should be no research required to gather, review and provide the documents to him. He then indicated that Burns and McDonnell, Inc., a firm where MSD Board member Robert Berry worked for many years, is receiving $12.3 million of consulting contracts. He also noted that Burns & McDonnell was in the news recently and are being sued by the Branson Airport for faulty design, engineering and construction. According to the St. Louis Business Journal article, the Branson Airport opened in 2009 and in 2011, a large area of the foundation beneath the runway collapsed. He concluded by stating that it seems that many of the engineering firms hired by MSD have a considerable amount of problems. - - - - CONSENT AGENDA Mr. Berry requested that Proposed Ordinance Nos. 13683-13699 be voted on separately.
