The December 21st meeting was called to order for the Board to address the observations, issues, and recommendations brought forth by the CBA signatories on November 4, 2015 and Pg. 4 MSD staff on December 14, 2015. The Trustees conducted the meeting as an opportunity for them to receive clarification from the CBA signatories and MSD staff regarding the previous presentations and to receive additional information in light of the responses. After detailed discussion, questions and dialog from both MSD staff and CBA signatories, it was decided to continue the process of meeting, discussing and collaborating to reach the goals of the Community Benefits Agreement. The MSD Board indicated that additional communication and meeting information would be forthcoming. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 5:47 p.m. The Stakeholder Relations Committee met at District Headquarters on Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at approximately 9:05 a.m. In addition to public attendance, those present at the meeting included Trustee Berry, Trustee Yates, Trustee Faul and Trustee Mandel, as well as District Directors and staff. The first item on the agenda was a discussion by Crystal Howard regarding an Ordinance for 2016 Customer Satisfaction Surveying Services. Customer Satisfaction Surveying was first conducted by the District in 1996 and is conducted annually. Today, MSD's surveying measures all areas of customer service. Results are used to measure customer awareness of MSD’s role in the community and rate the quality of services the District provides. MSD issued RFP #6209 for 2016 surveying services. Said RFP also requested contract option years for 2017 and 2018, exercisable at the sole discretion of MSD. MSD received three (3) responses to the RFP and based on these submittals, ETC Institute was selected by an RFP review committee. This ordinance will authorize MSD to enter into a contract with ETC Institute for customer surveying services and is Ordinance No. 14328 on tonight's Agenda. The next item was a presentation by Jonathon Sprague regarding the rain and river flooding events of December 2015 and January 2016. Jonathon began by illustrating and detailing the effect of the December 26 through 28 rains on MSD's systems and the impact of subsequent river flooding on various treatment plants. He then continued by discussing the planned recovery efforts and timeline of those efforts. Marion Gee then provided details on the funding of the recovery and costs associated with these efforts. Vicki Taylor Edwards provided information pertaining to MSD's flood insurance policies, coverage and deductibles, as well as possible FEMA assistance. Jonathon continued by detailing the actions required by the Board to procure and appropriate funding for the contracts, equipment, materials and expenses related to the recovery and repair efforts. Jonathon concluded by assuring the Board that weekly and monthly communications will continue to be provided detailing the progress of all efforts and if further action will be required. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, February 2, 2016. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:00 a.m. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Bonner reported that the Finance Committee met on January 5, 2016 Trustees Faul, Berry, Yates and Mandel in attendance. The minutes from the November 3, 2015 meeting were approved. The first item discussed on the agenda was an ordinance authorizing the staff to enter into an agreement with Netelligent Corp. to provide technical implementation services for establishing network connectivity to the REJIS Data Center. This will be proposed Ordinance Number 14327 on tonight’s agenda. Marion Gee was pleased to report that the District has once again received the award for Distinguished Budget presentation from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for fiscal year 2016. In order to receive this award, a government entity must satisfy stringent Pg. 5 nationally recognized GFOA guidelines. This award represents the highest available form of recognition in government budgeting. Mr. Gee took the opportunity to thank and commend Assistant Director of Finance Theresa Bellville and her financial analysis team of Mike Gindler, Steve Winer and Kathy Ahillen for this outstanding achievement. Mr. Gee then recognized Crystal Howard, Pam Reid, and the Accounting team for completing the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. The annual report is designed to offer an overview of MSD’s work. Using non-technical language, it provides a snapshot of our activities from the most recent fiscal year. This report also contains financial information for this past fiscal year that summarizes the much more detailed information found in our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The PAFR has been posted to the website and hard copies are available. Tim Snoke reported on the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of December 2015. The portfolio is in compliance with the District’s investment policy. Bethany Pugh and Matt Schnackenberg of Public Financial Management (PFM) along with Tianna Pooler of Independent Public Advisors, LLC presented the transaction highlights for the Series 2015B Bonds stating the high credit quality allowed for successful marketing without a debt service reserve fund. The sale of Series 2015B Bonds was well received with orders exceeding Bonds offered with subscription between one and ten times by maturity and an overall subscription of 6.37 times amount of Bonds offered. The MBE/WBE firms in the underwriting syndicate provided good transaction support. Despite not funding the debt service reserve fund on the Series 2015B Bonds, the bonds priced at credit spread comparable or better than prior MSD transactions. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m. The next tentatively scheduled meeting is Tuesday, February 2, 2016. This concludes the Finance Committee Report. Trustee Bonner also expressed sincere congratulations to the staff for their efforts in obtaining this award. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Executive Director thanked the chair and presented one item to the Board. At the January 5, 2016 Stakeholder’s Committee meeting, staff reviewed in detail the impact of the historic rain event that occurred between December 26th and December 28th and the subsequent flooding on the Missouri, Mississippi, River Des Peres and especially the Meramec Rivers. Staff was not able, at the time, to provide the exact details of the specific actions that the Board is being asked to take this evening, in response to that event. I will use my report to have staff discuss with the Board the six actions being requested this evening. First, Rich Unverferth will present the introduction and adoption of an ordinance to fund the activities of our emergency contractors from the declaration of the emergencies to the middle of February. Next, Mr. Unverferth will present the introduction and adoption of three emergency contracts so the Board can confirm the contracts entered into, by the Executive Director, under the emergency clause of the purchasing ordinance. Finally, Mr. Unverferth will present the introduction of an ordinance to fund the emergency contractors for February through March. Staff plans to refine this proposed ordinance prior to its scheduled adoption at the February Board meeting. Last, Marion Gee will present the introduction of an ordinance that provides funds to pay for the Pg. 6 operational expenses related to this event. The ordinance will also be refined prior to the scheduled adoption at the February Board meeting. Mr. Unverferth, if you will begin: Rich Unverferth, the Director of Engineering, thanked the Executive Director and explained each emergency ordinance and contract to be introduced and adopted at the January 14, 2016 Board of Trustee meeting in great detail. Mr. Unverferth explained that some of the work has already started and that MSD will bring an update of expenditures to the Boards attention monthly. Mr. Unverferth also indicated that MSD has signed three contracts and that all companies working on the project are encouraged to employ MWBE firms and minority and women workforce to the extent practical. MSD will track the Contractor’s MWBE efforts and Workforce numbers. There are a total of 6 minority subcontractors being utilized. One minority contractor is being used as a Prime. Staff sees a fair amount of minority and women workforce, but Mr. Unverferth will be able to provide a more detailed report at the committee meetings. Grand Glaize is up and running with equipment issues that still need to be addressed, but the Fenton plant will take more time due to the significant damage. Missouri River operated throughout the flood but they had damage to one building, but temporary service is being provided by one of the contractors indicated on the Agenda. Trustee Faul inquired about the treatments while all of this is occurring. The Executive Director noted that the Missouri River has always been treating, but Grand Glaize was not treating, it isn’t being reported as treating, but it suffered less damage and getting close to treating. Fenton was completely under water and the only function is emergency pumping to keep sewers empty, there is no treatment at Fenton currently. Mr. Unverferth explained that the primary contractor, on the Fenton Wastewater treatment plant, which has the most work, is KCI. KCI and Goodwin were the two firms on the Districts emergency contractor list for building of facilities. They were notified immediately to procure as much WMBE and workforce as possible for each project they work on. Trustee Mandel ask for confirmation that Mr. Unverferth will also track these contractors as well. Trustee Faul stated that KCI has a good track record of meeting the goals per past involvement on other jobs. Mr. Unverferth then explained that Goodwin Brothers Construction, consists of construction and repair needed for treatment plants and facilities at Grand Glaize and Missouri River. Goodwin was first responder for Grand Glaize and prevalent in getting the plant up and running along with Staff. Goodwin was chosen from the Districts emergency contractor list for structure building and facilities. Goodwin is aware of MSD’s MWBE requirements and has several subcontractors working on the project. MSD has stressed that they take advantage of bringing in vendor services as well as workforce. The last item Mr. Unverferth addressed is an introduction for supplementary funds to the 10 million asked for earlier, this number will be adjusted and appropriates the funds for the emergency construction repair from the flood event. Staff will update the Board and Committees regarding funds expended and the numbers are starting to come in now for the Grand Glaize and Missouri River. Trustee Faul made note to comment that all of these projects and fund requests were first brought to the Boards attention for review at the Stakeholder Meetings and this is not the first time that they have been made aware of the requests. Mr. Unverferth then turned the floor over to Mr. Marion Gee, Financial Director. Ordinance 14326 was then explained in further detail regarding the appropriation of funds to cover the operational expenses associated with the December 2015 rain and flood event. This ordinance relates to emergency response operations that occurred at various MSD facilities, pump stations and the associated collection system. An amount of $2.5 million was provided as an estimate of expenses incurred through January 31st. Pg. 7 The ordinance allows for the transfer of expenses associated with the rain and flood event from the general fund budgets of various MSD departments and authorizes these expenses to be charged against the General Insurance Fund. In essence, expenses related to the event are being segregated from the normal operation and maintenance budgets. The Board will be provided with updates of the actual expenses that have been incurred as well as an estimate of the February expenses that may be incurred during the February 2nd Stakeholders Committee Meeting. It is anticipated that an additional appropriation to the Insurance Fund will be requested during the February Board meeting to cover the estimated February expenses. Thank you Mr. Chairman, this concludes my report. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Comments from the Public: 1. Cheryl Ward addressed the Board with her concerns regarding sewer backups at her residential home location of 4338 Varano Drive in Florissant Missouri. Cheryl Ward also added that Mr. Jonathan Sprague, Director of Operations, spoke with her this evening prior to the Board meeting and provided her with a request number he filed, but would appreciate that her concerns be documented with the Board, because gauging customer calls does not always establish legitimacy. Trustee Faul asked that Ms. Ward follow up with the Board to keep them updated. 2. Tom Sullivan stated that he would like to raise issues about the emergency repair projects. He states that in the past, some things were done on an emergency basis but they didn’t have to be done under the disguise of an emergency. Mr. Sullivan asked that the board provide some assurance that this is being handled with concern for costs. Mr. Sullivan stated the potential for these projects to balloon seems to be considerable and that he would like the costs to be included on the condensed version of the Agenda distributed at the meetings Pg. 8 Mr. Sullivan also raised the issue of the storm water tax on April ballot. Mr. Sullivan stated that the district went from impervious to property tax. Mr. Sullivan says the impervious charge was studied to determine the impervious costs going back 20 years with an incredible amount of effort, work and costs. Mr. Sullivan would like the information that shows all that was involved with the research that was involved with the impervious costs. Also, he added that the homeowners assistance amount per incident, per home should be revisited and that people have complained about this for a long time. In addition, Mr. Sullivan stated that he believes there should be a change in management if MSD is asking for an increase in property tax for storm water. He believes that Brian Hoelscher has had several years to make his mark. Mr. Sullivan commented on the University City meeting two years ago as it relates to the mentality of the management. Mr. Sullivan believes that there is no concern for people who have sewer problems and thanked the Board. 3. James Foster addressed the Board regarding the MSD letter he received dated November 2, 2015. Mr. Foster stated that this was the first time he’s received anything from MSD. The letter stated it was the final offer by MSD for use of property in the Clayton school district. Reference number for the St. Louis County Locator is 20k-54- 1644 and ordinance number 11731 Deer Creek Sanitary Tunnel/Clayton Road to RDP. Mr. Foster stated his property is directly across from a small street on Redbud Ave across from Missouri Department of Transportation property. Mr. Foster stated that Ms. Mentz has been in contact and has been very nice. Mr. Foster indicated that Ms. Mentz has been working with Mr. Foster on another problem for a sewer rebuild on Ethel Avenue in Richmond heights. Mr. Fosters concern regarding the letter and MSD’s final offer prompted his response in writing. Mr. Foster states that there is much more property to use on the Missouri Transportation side than on Mr. Foster’s property. Mr. Foster would like to know if MSD can tell him how long they need his easement. Mr. Foster believes the letter sent by MSD is unreasonable. Mr. Unverferth stated that they do have Mr. Foster’s counter offer and is looking at ways to avoid use of Mr. Foster’s property. Mr. Unverferth understands the concerns regarding the length of time and after receiving the counter offer, he has been looking for alternate routes to get to the sewers in the neighborhood. Mr. Unverferth states that Mr. Foster should receive a counter offer from very soon. Mr. Unverferth states that this project will remove a number of overflows in the deer creek area and unfortunately, the tunnel is very long and Mr. Foster is at the upstream end and we’re working on trying to find alternatives, but until the project is completed the property must remain encumbered. Mr. Foster understood the encumbering, but argued the intent and finalization of the letter that was sent. The Trustees asked Mr. Unverferth to follow up on the creation of letters and to update them on the outcome of Mr. Foster’s concerns. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Yates moved to review the Consent Agenda.
