leadership, the Board of Trustees has determined that MSD has made significant progress or
achieved success in the areas of stakeholder communications; development of district management; funding and delivery of consent decree activities; internal affirmative action; and
MSD’s diversity program. Based on his performance, Mr. Hoelscher will receive a 4% merit increase if Ordinance 14876 is
introduced and adopted by the board tonight ($199,200 to $207,000). Additionally, if Ordinance 14876 is approved, MSD and Mr. Hoelscher will enter into an employment contract that extends

District’s processes for identifying emergency situations, making emergency declarations, procuring, executing and managing emergency contracts. There was a specific focus on the processes utilized for the
2015 flood event.
The engagement resulted in a “Satisfactory” or “Clean” opinion. Three Opportunities for Improvement were identified. Questions from the Committee regarding contract language and contract billing terms were
addressed by Staff.
Next, Staff presented a resolution to renew the contract with CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP to provide financial audit services to the District for FY ‘18.
The renewal represents the second contract year overall and the first of four one-year contract options. The
item is Resolution No. 3406 on tonight’s agenda. The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:55 am.
The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, February 27, 2018. This concludes the Audit Committee Report.

District as of December 2017. Staff stated that the District continues to be financially stable. The quarterly Adjustment Review Committee report for December 2017 was accepted into the record as required by
ordinance.
The next item discussed on the agenda was a resolution that will designate the Executive Director to oversee, develop, implement and administer MSD’s Identity Theft Prevention Program. This resolution
accomplishes the approval of the District’s Red Flag Rules procedures to aide in the protection of MSD’s customers against identity theft. This will be Resolution # 3407 on tonight’s agenda.

Edited 3/8/18 Pg. 4
Jon Sprague, Director of Operations addressed the Board and provided a detailed presentation spanning a six-month period of July – Dec 2017. He provided the Board with a number of measures that are looked at
on a semiannual basis for plant compliance, customer service, backups and overflows. The Director of Operations noted that the report was relatively a good report, and there were many positive corrective
actions taken.
There were a few challenges in the first six months of 2017 with raining and flooding during the Spring, but the last six months all numbers were green with 94% Compliance. There were less than 2 overflows per
hundred miles of pipe as the metric, but for the year, some of those numbers didn’t fare well. The first six months we did not meet our yearly goal or our yearly goal in overflows, but we always have more work to do
but we have had a very good past six months.
