The minutes of the October 30, 2018 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items:
Ord. Nos. 15078 & 15079 – CSO Volume Reduction Green Infrastructure Grant projects – Staff provided the details of these two proposed grant agreements proposed for approval. There was a brief discussion regarding the various types of volume reducing methods used in the grant program. Staff
agreed to provide a summary of information regarding acceptable methods to the committee.
Ord No. 15087 – Holden and Longwood Storm Sewer – After providing details on the project there was
a discussion between the committee and staff regarding the MSD Designer’s Estimate provided on the detail sheet. The committee questioned why the estimate was typically higher than the bids received
and why it was provided to the bidders prior to bid. Explanation by staff included: how the District unit
costs are derived and adjusted, the current bidding environment, and the use of the estimate to give the bidders context on potential costs for the work. Staff agreed to review the practices of other entities
such as MODOT, St. Louis County, and City of St. Louis on providing this estimate prior to bid. Ord. Nos. 15088, 15089 & 15090 – Various Construction Management Services Contracts – Staff
provided the details of the renewal of three construction management services contracts utilized to oversee several major construction projects for the District.

Comments by the Executive Director:
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
I would like to review some of our recent personnel changes here at MSD.
First, I have selected Sean Hadley as the District’s new Manager of Public Affairs and spokesman. Sean has been with MSD for 4 years in the Public Affairs Division. During that time, he has had the
opportunity to take the lead on some major communication initiatives such as the Christmas Flood of 2015, our own internal Let’s Talk video messaging, as well as recent communications with local press representatives such as Elliot Davis. I look forward to Sean building on the past success of the District’s
communications efforts. (Identify Sean) Next, I have appointed Bret Berthold as the new Director of Operations. Bret will formally take over the
duties of this position on December 21, 2018 when Jonathon Sprague takes over as the new Director of Information Systems. Bret has been with MSD for 9 years, with one of his most notable and important
successes being the development and successful implementation of the CMOM plan to meet the
sanitary sewer system operation and maintenance requirements of our Consent Decree. (Identify Bret)
As noted, Jonathon Sprague has agreed to take over the position as the Director of Information Systems
on December 21, 2018. Jon’s experience with the development, implementation, and use of many of the systems here at MSD makes him uniquely qualified for this position. I greatly appreciate Jon
volunteering to accept this transfer. (Identify Jon)
In conclusion, it brings me no pleasure to announce that Barb Mohn, MSD’s current Director of
Information Systems, will serve her last day in that position on Friday December 21, 2018. Barb has been responsible for this department since her arrival at MSD in September 2006. Barb will truly be missed.
Edited 1/4/19 Pg. 5
The Director’s truly appreciate all of the efforts she has put into helping Jonathon Sprague get ready for
his new assignment. (Identify Barb)
Finally, on tonight’s agenda, the Board of Trustees will consider Item #61, a Resolution to approve an
option year with SLATE to provide First Source Hiring Services for the next year for $91,000 to comply with the requirements of the Community Benefits Agreement, or CBA.
On Friday December 7, 2018, after the budget was posted, MSD held its regular meeting with the CBA signatories. At that meeting the CBA signatories agreed to investigate other methods of investing in diverse construction workforce development other than the First Source Hiring Program mandated by
the CBA. To accommodate the desires of the CBA signatories and to maintain the resources required by existing
construction contracts, staff is requesting that the Board of Trustees amend Resolution 3468 by reducing the request from a one year extension to a 6 month extension and reducing the value of the
contract from $91,000 to $46,000.”
Thank you Mr. Chair, this concludes my report.
