Mr. Faul reported that the Audit Committee met on November 12, 2013 at 7:30 a.m. In attendance were Trustees Berry and Mandel. The Committee approved the minutes from the prior meeting.
Mr. Jeff Winter of RubinBrown provided an overview of the results of the audit of the District’s enterprise financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013. He noted that an
unmodified opinion was issued and that the audit was performed according to the planned
scope. Procedures resulted in the identification of one audit adjustment, which was recorded by
management. Mr. Craig White of RubinBrown discussed opportunities for improvement that were
noted during the engagement. He recommended that management consider implementing a
process for reconciling property tax revenue amounts to the general ledger to improve the
procedures around the recording and accruing of property taxes, as the District recently initiated the process of accruing property tax amounts receivable. Management agrees with the recommendation and is working with the City and the County to implement procedures.
Mr. White also mentioned that prior year recommendations have been
implemented, with the exception of one item that is currently in progress. A motion was made by Mr. Berry and seconded by Ms. Mandel to go into closed

Peres Tunnel Facilities – This ordinance appropriates $1,500,000 and authorizes staff to enter
into a contract amendment with Shannon and Wilson for construction management services on the Lower RDP Tunnel Facilities. Mr. Faul asked if this contract was under the new tracking system for MWBE participation. Staff indicated that this contract was procured under the old
guidelines requiring 30% participation, but would be tracked similar to all contracts in order to
better track ethnicity and gender to allow for direct comparison to the recent Disparity Study.
Items 27 through 31 – General Services Agreement – Survey Services Contracts A – E – This group of ordinances explained as a whole appropriates $50,000 for each contract
and authorizes staff to enter into five contracts with The Sterling Company, Volz Incorporated,
Juneau Associates, Glasper Professional Services, and Sabur, Inc. to perform preliminary and
design survey services to augment staff as necessary to support District Consent Decree projects. Staff explained the selection process and the inclusion of MWBE firms into the final selections. Mr. Faul clarified that the total pot for these projects is $250,000, $50,000 for each
contract, with two contracts being awarded to MWBE firms, equaling 40% participation. Staff
affirmed this clarification.
Item 36 – Bissell and Lemay Incinerator Replacement – This ordinance for introduction and adoption appropriates $4,400,000 and authorizes staff to enter into a contract
with Black and Veatch Corporation for engineering services for the design of the Bissell and
Lemay Incinerator Scrubber improvements. This project is on an aggressive design and
construction schedule with a required completion date of March 2016. The Committee agreed to recommend for introduction and adoption.
Item 48 – Page and Lindbergh Sanitary Sewer – Staff notified the Committee that
it will be requesting the Board consider a contract amendment for this construction project,
including an additional appropriation of funds for introduction and adoption at the December Board meeting. Staff gave a brief presentation regarding utility conflicts and failure of the One-Call Locate System to locate all utilities causing a delay in the project. Ms. Mandel asked for an
explanation of the One-Call System, and staff provided a briefing of the process. No action was
necessary, further details will be provided at the December Program Management meeting.

Staff gave a brief presentation on the District’s analysis processes on the elimination of existing pumping stations. Staff discussed decision parameters and provided an
example project for the Committee to better understand the steps taken in their decisions. Staff
indicated to the Board that they can expect similar projects in the future.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:18 a.m.

Mr. Hoelscher reported that the recent ruling by the State Supreme Court on the
District’s Impervious Stormwater Rate. MSD is obviously disappointed at the decision. MSD
went beyond what is national industry practice for a rate such as this and firmly believed we
proposed an equitable Stormwater Impervious Rate that was also in compliance with State Law. The rate was deliberated as part of a voter approved rate commission process and found to be an equitable method of charging for stormwater services. However, with the decision,
MSD must now move forward and offer another alternative for consideration by our customers
on how to address the area’s stormwater needs. For the time being, MSD will maintain its
current taxing structure and provide stormwater services in the various parts of the District in line with the revenues collected. Our first steps will consist of gathering stakeholder and community comments on the types of services to be considered and the best alternatives in
how to generate the needed revenues.
Next, he announces that staff has recently completed policies regarding Insider Training for bond sales and Political Activity during District ballot initiatives. These policies will be forwarded to staff and the Board in the near future prior to any event to which these policies
may apply.
Mr. Hoelscher updates the Board on the District’s involvement with the Bridgeton Landfill. The District continues to accept waste from this facility in a controlled manner until a permanent solution is constructed at the Bridgeton Landfill that will allow the landfill to resume
regular discharging to the Missouri River Treatment Plant. Staff is deeply involved in this
process to make sure that future discharges from the Bridgeton landfill do not interrupt District
operations. In addition, MSD plans to hold a formal signing of the Community Benefits
Agreement that was approved by the Board of Trustees at the October Board Meeting. This
event is tentatively scheduled for the first week in December with the first meeting of the
signatory group occurring within 60 days of the execution. To date, four separate entities have agreed to participate as signatories to the agreement and three other entities are considering participating. There are also other organizations that participated in the development of this
document that we have not heard from yet. The exact date and time will be set so that all
interested parties may attend. Staff plans on updating the Stakeholder’s Committee on the
status of all Diversity initiatives at the next committee meeting on Tuesday November 19 at 9:00 am.
The force main break that occurred on Creve Coeur Mill Road over the weekend.
Even with the extensive inspection and rehabilitation activities currently being conducted by our
Operation’s Department, events like this will occasionally occur when you have 9500 miles of sewer and 116 miles of force main to operate. What I would like to do this evening is to thank the members of the Pump Station Division of the Operation’s Department and the
Environmental Compliance Division of the Engineering Department who responded to this
event. They had to work in very difficult ground and weather conditions to complete this repair in a timely fashion while keeping any impact to the environment to a minimum. Their
performance was outstanding in completing this mission. While specific events like this can
make the headlines, it is also representative of the expertise and commitment that all District
employees bring to their job on a daily basis. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the District’s employees for an outstanding job.
Finally, the S&P credit rating confirmed AAA with a stable outlook. Moody’s &
Fitch will meet the first week of December for bond pricing.

Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and commented on the amount of funds related to MSD’s consultants and that the District’s officials have said for several years that outside consulting contracts will be reduced.
Next, Mr. Sullivan commented on the failed Stormwater lawsuit and that it will cost
MSD’s ratepayers over $10 million in legal costs. He then mentioned that he had attended St. Louis Council Public Forum and
suggested to County Executive Charlie Dooley that he meet with Mayor Slay to appoint a new
Board at MSD.
- - - -
Mr. Michael Murphy of SEUI-Local 1 stated he’s been one of the lead negotiators for the bargaining sessions representing 500 – 600 employees. He presented a letter to the Board for review. The letter included the proposal from the unions, the countered proposal from
the District, and the counter offer by the unions. He feels that the unions have bargained in good
faith and what has been proposed has been very modest and within reason. Mr. Murphy asked
the Board to consider the proposal by the unions and ask the District to make that their offer.
