The Board Chair made a few comments:
Over the past several months, staff has exchanged written and verbal correspondence
on the status of the District’s diversity program with Adolphus Pruitt, President of the St. Louis
City NAACP. This past week, a letter was sent by Mr. Pruitt to the Board. The letter does raise
serious points.

While the Board will, for the time being, consider how it might respond, we wish to go on
the record as saying we take MSD’s diversity program and staff’s commitment to implementing
a meaningful diversity program very, very seriously. Outside of implementing the Consent
Decree, how the Consent Decree might serve as an opportunity to grow the District’s
commitment to diversity is one of the Board’s most important priorities.
Additionally, the Board has, and will, continue to be fully engaged in monitoring the
status of the District’s diversity program and setting policy that supports a truly inclusive
program.
Thank you. That concludes my remarks.

Trustee Faul reported that the Program Management Committee met on August 4, 2015 at 8:08
a.m. The meeting was attended by trustees Faul, Bonner, Mandel, Yates, Berry, and Patton.
The minutes of the June 29, 2015 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed
discussion regarding the following items:
Items 53 through 57 – CSO Volume Reduction Green Infrastructure Projects – Staff
provided details of the annual appropriation for the District’s green infrastructure
program and cost sharing agreements for the Fiscal Year 2016 approved early action
projects. This program utilizes green infrastructure techniques to reduce CSO volume to
the Mississippi River in accordance with the consent decree. A total of four cost sharing
agreements are being proposed for introduction at tonight’s meeting. An additional five
agreements will follow throughout the fiscal year. The Committee requested additional
information on two of the later projects prior to submission for approval. Staff agreed to
provide this information.
Item 58 – Jefferson Barracks Tunnel – Staff provided an overview of the future project
and discussed details for this appropriation for property and easement acquisition. Staff
responded to questions regarding the intended use and schedule for the tunnel.
Item 59 – Lackland I/I Reduction – Staff discussed the details for the project and
indicated the receipt of only one bid for this project. The Committee questioned whether
the District had made any modifications to type and sizing of projects in response to the
lack of bids being received on certain projects. Staff indicated that no adjustments had
been made, but have been seeing an increase in bidders over the past month and
agreed to continue to monitor.
Item 62 – Newcastle I/I Reduction – After the briefing on the project there was a
discussion between staff and the Committee on MWBE requirements as they relate to
the $50,000 threshold.
Item 66 – Coldwater Screening Improvements – Staff discussed the two bids received
for the project and provided information on the MBE utilization for the project. Neither
bidder met the District’s goal of 30% utilization, although both bidders were deemed
responsive by meeting the “Good Faith Efforts” requirement outlined by the policy. The
project was awarded to the lowest responsive bidder.
Pg. 3
Item 77 – Stream Water Quality Sampling – Staff discussed the contract renewal terms
for these services. The Committee requested a report on the data and findings at a
future Program Management meeting. Staff agreed.
Item 83 – Taylor Fillmore Harrison Sanitary Relief – Staff provided details of this
supplemental appropriation to the construction funds for the project and an agreement
with the City of Kirkwood requesting MSD and its contractor to reconstruct an existing
street disturbed by the construction to a level beyond what was anticipated. The City of
Kirkwood through the intergovernmental agreement will reimburse MSD for this
additional work.
Item 84 – Emergency Repair Chesterfield Commons Pump Station – Staff provided
details on this emergency repair project, the current status, and the projected completion
of the work.
Staff requested that items 83 and 84 be presented for introduction and adoption at the
August Board meeting. The Committee concurred.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:29 a.m. The next Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled
for Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at 8:00 a.m.

Trustee Berry reported that the Stakeholders Committee met at the District’s Headquarters on
Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at approximately 10:30 a.m.. In addition to public attendance, those
present at the meeting included Trustees Berry, Bonner, Faul, and Yates, as well as District
Directors and staff.
The first item on the agenda was a discussion by Susan Myers regarding an Ordinance
to authorize the District's Conflict of Interest Policy. The Missouri Ethics Commission
requires political subdivisions with an operating budget greater than one million dollars
per year to re-adopt an Ordinance (bi-annually) at an open meeting by September 15.
Introduction of this Ordinance containing the existing policy prohibiting conflicts of
interest for MSD trustees, officers, and employees is Item No. 87 on tonight's Agenda.
The next agenda item was a discussion by Catherine Politte regarding an Ordinance to
authorize a contract for flow meter data collection. This Ordinance will authorize the
District to enter into a one-year contract with ADS Environmental to process raw flow
meter data collected by the District’s in-house flow monitoring group. The resulting
processed data is utilized by the Engineering department for collection system modelling
and construction project effectiveness to comply with Consent Decree requirements.
This Ordinance is Item No. 86 on tonight's Agenda.
There were no additional items and no further comments. The next meeting is
tentatively scheduled for September 1, 2015. The meeting was adjourned at
approximately 10:40 a.m.

Trustee Mandel reported that the Audit Committee met at 7:30 AM on Tuesday, August 4, 2015.
In attendance were Trustees Patton, Berry, Bonner, Faul, Mandel, and Yates. The Committee
approved the minutes from the July 1 meeting. The Chairman had no comments.
Pg. 4
Rubin Brown presented a Planning Communications document that included a
summary and overview of the auditing engagement services to be provided for the
District’s fiscal 2015 year. They explained the basic engagement components,
including: the Objective of the Engagement, the Auditor’s Responsibility, the Limitations
of the Engagement, and Management’s Responsibility.
Rubin Brown continued the presentation by explaining the specific objectives of each
individual engagement as well as the overall timeline for the completion of the various
tasks and discussed the preliminary assessment of risk regarding the various areas to
be audited. The presentation was completed with a summary-level description of the
accounting pronouncements required to be implemented for Fiscal 2015. Specifically,
GASB 68 requires that the District recognize a liability on the face of the balance sheet
for the unfunded portion of the actuarial accrued pension liability.
Next, Rubin Brown presented and provided an overview of the Auditor Communications
Letter addressing the audits of the financial statements for the Employees’ Pension, the
Deferred Compensation, and the Defined Contribution plans, stating that the plans were
audited in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. No difficulties or
disagreements with Management were encountered when performing the audits, and
there were no known or likely misstatements identified during the audits of the plans.
A Management Letter was prepared and presented for the three plans. The letter
identified no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses; however, one internal
control deficiency was identified regarding employer contributions to the Defined
Contribution Plan for employees with retro-pay. In certain instances, employer
contribution errors occurred as a result of system calculation errors.
The Committee inquired as to the status of the system formula error. District Staff
explained that the system formula has been corrected and that additional review controls
have been implemented.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:00 am. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for
Tuesday, September 1, 2015. This concludes the Audit Committee Report.

Trustee Bonner reported that The Finance Committee met on August 4, 2015 with Trustees
Bonner, Berry, Faul and Yates in attendance. The minutes from the July 1, 2015 meeting were
approved.
The first item discussed on the agenda was the Pension Plan. The Trustees inquired as
to which investments contributed to the lower than target pension fund returns in 2014.
Mr. Richard Marra from Pavilion, the District's pension investment advisor, stated nine
out of twelve managers underperformed their benchmarks in 2014.
Pavilion then reported on the current performance of the District’s Pension, Deferred
Compensation and Defined Contribution Plans. As of June 2015, the Pension Plan
outperformed its benchmark, reporting an increase of 0.2%, while the Policy Benchmark
reported a gain of 0.1%. On a trailing one-year basis, the Plan reported a loss of -0.1%,
ahead of the Policy Benchmark by 10 basis points. Second quarter fund returns for the
Deferred Compensation and the Defined Contribution Plans were modest overall, due to
muted performance from the equity markets and declines from the fixed income market.
Target date retirement funds reported mixed performance, with the longer dated funds
being the best performers.
Pg. 5
The Trustees asked if the Plan is still invested in a fund involved in a labor dispute with a
Doubletree hotel in California. Mr. Marra responded that the property is actually held in
a different UBS fund, not the one in the District’s Plan as originally thought. The
Trustees asked for confirming communications. Mr. Marra said he will provide recent
correspondence to Staff. Staff promised to forward the documents to the Trustees.
Staff next presented an ordinance authorizing the District to enter into a contract with
McGriff, Seibels & Williams of Missouri, Inc. McGriff, Seibels & Williams would provide
insurance brokerage and insurance consultant services to the District. This will be a one-
year contract with four one-year options, at the same rate. The District submitted an RFP
and received three proposals. Ordinance No. 14229 will be Item #89 on tonight’s
agenda.
Staff reported on the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of July 31, 2015. The
portfolio is in compliance with the District’s investment policy.
Staff then presented an ordinance authorizing the District to issue $75,000,000
Subordinate Wastewater System Revenue Bonds (State of Missouri-Direct Loan
Program) Series 2015A to be repaid over 20 years at a fixed rate equal to 30% of the
Revenue Bond Index, rounded up to the nearest 0.01%. The District requires long-term
financing to complete the Public I/I Reduction project and rehabilitation of sanitary
sewers and manholes. Ordinance 14225 will be Item #85 on tonight’s agenda.
A recommendation to designate the underwriting team for the Wastewater System
Revenue Bonds, Series 2015B and to authorize the District to enter into an agreement
with the Series 2015B Senior Manager, Wells Fargo Securities was the next item on the
agenda. Ordinance 14228 will be Item #88 on tonight’s agenda.
Staff reported on the quarterly June 2015 Adjustment Review Committee report which
was accepted into the record as required by ordinance.
The next item on the agenda presented by staff was a resolution that approves the
transfer of unencumbered appropriations and fund balance from the General Fund to
cover the cost of claims against the Water Backup Fund, and to increase the fund
balance in the Water Backup Fund and the Sanitary Replacement Fund. Resolution
3229 will be Item #94 on tonight’s agenda.
The meeting adjourned at 10:25 a.m. The next tentatively scheduled meeting is Tuesday,
September 1, 2015. This concludes the Finance Committee Report.

Trustee Yates and Executive Director, Brian Hoelscher, introduced the Rate Commission
recommendations and the Service Chairman of the Rate Commission, Len Toenjes. Mr.
Toenjes addressed the August 5th Rate Commission letter. He also thanked the District staff for
their exceptional work.
Mr. Toenjes called attention to the minority reports and in particular, the rate increase and storm
water funding.
He asked the board to consider that any unencumbered funds be used to limit future rate
increases instead of being used to accelerate projects, also to consider renegotiation of
terms or of the consent decree schedule.
Pg. 6
In addition, Mr. Toenjes spoke on the storm water funding discussions that found the ad-
valorem tax and impervious fee to be fair and reasonable. There was also a
recommendation that there be a declaratory judgement about implementation of an
impervious fee. Mr. Toenjes thanked the Board and the staff for their participation and
offered to answer any questions the Board may have. Trustee Berry thanked all the
Commissioners and Mr. Toenjes, on behalf of the Board, for their work and effort.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Executive Director report consisted of four(4) items.
1. The submission of the MSD Rate Commission and a proposal to fund operations for
Fiscal Year 2017-2020. The proposal addressed the funding of wastewater operations
and funding for compliance with the Consent Decree, as well as, a proposal to fund the
operation and maintenance of the public storm sewer system in the western half of our
District that does not currently have a funding source. After many meetings to review
the MSD proposal and listen to the comments of the Rate Commission’s consultants,
interveners and the public, the Rate Commission forwarded their recommendations to
the Board of Trustees on August 10, 2015, as required by the Charter. These
recommendations are posted on our website along with all other information from the
Rate Commission’s proceedings. During the Communications portion of tonight’s
agenda, the Chairman of the Rate Commission, Len Toenjes, will say a few words about
the Rate Commission’s report.
2. The public will note that tonight’s agenda includes our full agenda and introduces our
reduced agendas. Our reduced agendas contain the title and ordinance number for
each item listed. They do not include the script read by the Secretary-Treasurer or the
detail sheets for each item proposed for introduction. Every month MSD posts the entire
agenda and journal on our website as well as, direct e-mails these same documents to
any stakeholder who requests this service. The public can also access the full agenda
via the Wi-Fi access made available here at the District’s facilities. By reducing the size
of the agenda, MSD is saving 1200-1500 sheets of paper at tonight’s meeting. If any
member of the public would like to comment on this change, please feel free to speak
with Executive Secretary Tamara Clinton after the meeting. We appreciate the public
working with us on this.
3. I wish to briefly address an article published in the St. Louis American on August 6,
2015. As we responded in the last paragraph of that article, many of the accusations
made by the City of St. Louis Branch of the NAACP are inaccurate or grossly
misleading. MSD has asked to meet with the staff of the St. Louis American so we can
offer corrections to much of the information included in that article.
4. Finally, it is time for Director of Operations Jonathon Sprague to give the quarterly
regulatory update. Mr. Chairman, I ask that staff be allowed to make this presentation
after Public Comments and Communications to accommodate the schedules of the
members of the public scheduled to speak tonight.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Pg. 7
The Chair asked for comments from the public. There were 2 comments:
1. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and stated that the agenda provides a big payday for
engineering firms who have no bid consulting contracts and stated that there was a total
of $28.3 million approved for those consulting firms and combined with Burns &
McDonnell’s $14.5 million approved on August 4th, the total comes to $42.8 million
approved. Mr. Sullivan claims that these contracts are approved without explanation,
accounting or understanding by Board members. Mr. Sullivan notes that the current
Board member, Mr. Berry, headed the Burns & McDonnell St. Louis office prior to being
on MSD Board and that a past Executive Director of MSD went to work for Burns &
McDonnell after resigning from MSD.
Mr. Sullivan additionally states that one of the firms receiving millions in consulting
contracts is based in Great Britain and another was involved in bid rigging in Chicago
and defrauding U.S. government. Another firm is accused of doing sloppy work in Iraq
for the government. In addition, Mr. Sullivan states that Agenda item #49 ($565,000 for
public engagement for the inflow infiltration public engagement program) is a waste of
money. Mr. Sullivan states that past public engagement programs were a waste of time
and money due to low attendance. He states that Lance LeComb was paid $93,800 a
year as PR Director and that MSD should not waste money on a PR firm.
2. Mr. Makal Ali addressed the Board and the article in the St. Louis American newspaper
and declared that the article is accurate and asked the Board to provide explanations on
the areas that MSD states were inaccurate. The Executive Director communicated to
the Chair that a list of inaccuracies was not available at this time, but all responses to
the article would be addressed to the St. Louis American. Mr. Ali also addressed the
board members and the African American Trustees of turning their backs on other
African Americans. He argues that there is racism and discrimination embedded within
the system.
Trustee Bonner addressed Mr. Ali to respond to his allegations and accusations and asked for
specific information and instances where Mr. Ali was denied opportunities for which he was
qualified. Trustee Bonner stated she would welcome all specific information and names of
contractors. Ms. Bonner also stated that she is concerned about economic inequality within
communities of color and that she is willing to ask the hard questions that need to be asked.
Trustee Bonner also shared that she is satisfied with MSD and the Board’s responses to her
inquiries and questions and the information she has received. She asked Mr. Ali to send
information to the Board of Trustee Secretary and Mr. Ali stated that he would only send to
Trustee Bonner’s attention.

Director of Operations, Jonathan Sprague, was introduced by the Executive Director and
addressed the Board and the Public to review the 2015 2nd Quarter Regulatory Compliance
Report. The report tries to cover regulatory compliance issues at a high level of service that
affect district employees such as: basement backups, regulatory compliance, overflows and
customer service responses.
Jonathan explained that MSD sets high standards and sometimes those standards aren’t
always met and this quarter was a very rough quarter for the District with record rainfalls in June
measuring over 23 ½ inches of rainfall and 4 or 5 rain events (in April and June) that exceeded
five(5) year storm levels. Jonathan provided the Board with an overview of the areas of
concern, such as basement backups and overflows in specific areas.
Pg. 8
He then related those problems to past similar issues to emphasize our areas of improvements
and our progress made over the years.
In conclusion, MSD’s Plant Compliance chart shows our goals, 2nd Qtr results and our 2015
year totals.
