The minutes from the June 2, 2016 meeting were approved. The first item on the agenda, Bill Winningham of Milliman, Inc., reported on the District’s Employees’ Pension Plan Actuarial Valuation report as of December 31, 2015.

This will be Resolution #3290 on tonight’s agenda. The meeting adjourned at 10:42 a.m. The next tentatively scheduled meeting is Tuesday, August 2, 2016. This concludes the Finance Committee Report. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Faul reported that The Stakeholder Relations Committee met at District Headquarters on Monday, July 11, 2016 at approximately 8:20 a.m. In addition to public attendance, those present at the meeting included Trustees Singer, Mandel, and Bonner, as well as District Directors and staff. The Chair called Roll, had no comments, approved the June 2nd meeting minutes and then moved to go into Closed Session at approximately 8:22 a.m. Closed Session was concluded at approximately 9:55 a.m. and the Chair moved to return to Open Session. The first item was a discussion by Brad Nevois regarding a General Services Agreement for Geotechnical Services with Hanson Professional Services. This Ordinance authorizes the district to enter into Amendment No. 3 to Contract #10682 with Hanson Professional Services Inc. for geotechnical services associated with design and construction issues related to the Riverside and Yarnell Sanitary Relief Project – Forensic Testing (12789). This will be the third renewal of the original contract. It is Ordinance No. 14469 on tonight’s agenda. The next item was a discussion by Brad Nevois regarding sanitary sewer construction activities related to Riverside and Yarnell Sanitary Relief – Forensic Testing (12789). This Ordinance appropriates funds for excavation work to support forensic testing related to design and construction issues. It is Ordinance No. 14470 on tonight’s agenda. The next item was a discussion by Susan Myers regarding the Lease Agreement for Property Located at 8520 Michigan Avenue. This Ordinance authorizes the District to enter into a lease agreement whereby certain real property that is not being used by the District will be leased to Ms. Politte and Mr. Kaysing for lawful non-industrial and non-commercial activities that do not interfere with the District’s existing uses. It is Ordinance No. 14468 on tonight’s agenda. The last item was a discussion by Brian Hoelscher regarding the Compensation Plan Proposed Ordinance No. 14411. This Ordinance will be modified and re-issued to only reflect changes to Unclassified, C Schedule classified, and BT Schedule employees. BT positions are represented by IUOE No. 513, Machinist No. 9, Bricklayers No. 1 and Electricians No. 1. Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 6 The new Ordinance, No. 14472, will be prepared to allow the Board of Trustees to decide whether or not B Schedule employees represented by AFSCME No. 410 and SEIU Local No. 1 should receive step increases as provided for in the last executed Collective Bargaining Agreement and prior to any new agreement. Staff’s position is that the employees are not due these step increases for any legal reason and do not believe the employees should receive a benefit greater than what they previously bargained for and agreed to. However, staff realizes that the Board of Trustees wants the opportunity to consider all pertinent information in considering whether or not to pass this new Ordinance, No. 14472, on tonight’s agenda. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:08 a.m. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 2nd. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Comments from the Public: Trustee Yates reminded everyone that all public speaking is limited to 5 minutes and if there is a group speaking on the same issue, the group should assign one individual to speak on the issue. • Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and disagreed with the hiring of the Executive Director and the adoption of Ordinance 14471. Tom Sullivan went through past incidences and errors that he blames on the Executive Director. Tom Sullivan stated that any raise the Executive Director receives should be dependent upon performance. • Michael Murphy, Business Rep for SEIU Local 1, thanked the Board for allowing the SEIU to come and speak during the bargaining process when there were issues. He indicated that the SEIU and AFSCME 410 ratified the offer that the District provided and asked that the Board move to continue the step increases to prevent any issues going forward for members within the steps. • Gwendolyn Cogshell, the Community Outreach person for the University of African Peoples Organization, spoke on behalf of Zaki Baruti who was called out of town. Ms. Cogshell, read the correspondence written on behalf of the UAPO: The UAPO is dedicated to uplifting of economic and social conditions of black people in America. To that end, when we became involved with the CBA, it was our understanding that our organization was willing to address the concerns of the economic inclusions of the African American community in the multi-billion dollar projects that are being undertaken in our region. However, after countless meetings with our various board members and staff, we are still at an impasse in dealing with our concerns about true economic inclusion within our community. Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 7 This reality was made very clear after your Executive Director, Brian Hoelscher, decided that there was no need to continue any further discussions about our proposed cures and solutions, given the fact that our community is at least 30% of the rate of payers, we are totally insulted by his position and you should also be concerned. Accordingly, We will begin advocating that our community deserves economic justice by any means necessary and just as our young people are in the streets demanding social justice around police violence, obviously our inactions will motivate us to elevate our actions around this critical issue. And I thank you for listening. • Alice Allen, addressed the board regarding the several properties she owns. She stated her tenants have not been paying their sewer bill. She would like to know why the Metropolitan Sewer company can force the owner to pay the tenants bills, rather than going after the tenant themselves. The Finance Director, Marion Gee, addressed the board to explain the situation. Marion Gee indicated that typically a property owner may ask the District to send a duplicate copy of the sewer bill to the tenant and the tenant would then be required to pay the bill; but if the tenant does not pay the bill, our Ordinance indicates that the bill is the responsibility of the property owner. Mr. Gee then stated that the property owner always has the option to pay the sewer bill and include that additional amount to the tenants rent. Ms. Allen argued that the tenants name should be placed on the bill and not the homeowner’s name, similarly to other utility bills. The Executive Director indicated that staff will review the situation and explained to Ms. Allen that MSD is a “Not Applied For” service and the rules are set up that the owners are required to pay the bill. Ms. Allen expressed understanding, but asked the Board to review and change the rule. • Lew Moye, President Emeritus of the Black Trade Unionist read a correspondence presented to the Board: Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 8 In conclusion, Mr. Moye stated that in relation to the statements made regarding the Districts failure to reach the goals outlined in the CBA, any talk or suggestion for a pay raise for the Executive Director should be tabled, until we all can sit down and deal with the cures that the signatories have given through this organization. The Executive Director stated that the reason for stopping those identified to the CBA signatories was because of legal actions taken, by other members of the signatories outside the CBA, which is why we felt it was not possible to continue meetings and that was the content of the communication that was sent to the CBA signatories. • Jim Sahaida, with the Metropolitan Congregation United, addressed the Board and read a correspondence to the Board of Trustees: Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 9 Mr. Sahaida, stated that the email sent to the CBA signatories is a type of deception and demonstrates and is reflective of the kind of systemic racism that they will always continue to fight. Mr. Sahaida thanked the Board. Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 10 • Adolphus Pruitt, asked the Board to hold off timing his comments since he has a couple of points of clarification that could have impact his comments. His first question was about the Executive Directors pay raise and that there was mention of improving communication with the stakeholders and Mr. Pruitt asked what class of stakeholder were they referencing in the Chair comments. Trustee Yates stated that the Board was speaking of the contract. Mr. Pruitt then asked if that the statement was about those individuals who do business with MSD only and not the community? Mr. Pruitt stated that should they assume that the Executive Director had not factored the communication with the community, such as the people in the room, into whether there had been improved communication? Trustee Yates stated that the community was factored into the statement related to the Executive Director ordinance. Mr. Pruitt asked Trustee Yates if he could share with him what was the foundation for that basis? Mr. Pruitt then stated, “I think those from the community who just spoke before me and after me, would disagree that there has been improved communication.” Mr. Pruitt stated that he is just trying to understand the foundation for the basis of that comment if we are part of that class and if not, he understands and is quite sure that the communication with those folks feeding economically from MSD probably enjoys better communication with the Executive Director than those who do not. Trustee Singer stated that there was a breakdown in communication and the Board had a task force that met with a group from the CBA. Trustee Singer shared there are legal proceedings the CBA parties brought against MSD, which has created legal issues about the cure and asked if that was going to be handled through a legal process or through the advisory council organization of the CBA agreement? Trustee Singer expressed that the legal cloud is what generated the email, which Trustee Singer stated he was not aware of the email. Mr. Pruitt then stated that was not the question he was asking the Chair. Mr. Pruitt explained that he asked the Chair what the basis was for the increase in pay and what the two qualifications described were based off of; Improved communication with stakeholders. Mr. Pruitt then asked for the Chair to explain the class of stakeholders and who they are. Mr. Pruitt argued that the Chair responded by defining stakeholders as those who do business with the agency, but then changed and stated that it also included the community. Mr. Pruitt argued that he just wants clarification regarding which stakeholder group created the foundation that specified there was improved communication. Trustee Bonner stated that the Directors compensation and discussions, with respect to the pay increase, is a personnel matter and that the Board isn’t at liberty to go into specific details as to why that conclusions was reached in this forum. Mr. Pruitt stated that he just wanted a defined answer to the Chair’s statement regarding the type of stakeholders. The Chair stated that he would take Mr. Pruitts’ question and respond to it at the next Board meeting. Mr. Pruitt then asked if the Chair could explain the second topic regarding the improvement in Minority MWBE participation, which pertained to the Executive Directors pay raise. Mr. Pruitt asked the Chair to quantify which period that the improvement covers to get clarification on the remarks made. Trustee Yates stated that he would answer the question next month at the Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 11 public meeting. Mr. Pruitt asked the Chair for a little bit of latitude, and expressed that as a member of an Advisory board, established by ordinance, under the statutes of the state of Missouri, that says he has a higher level of relationship with this entity, and they are here to operate in the capacity to give advice and counsel as it relates to policy and other matters. While we have insisted in the past that we don’t have that type of relationship, counsel, external counsel and those members of Trustees have reiterated that we exist in that capacity. In addition, I serve on the oversight committee of that advisory entity to this organization so I think my participation today, rises to a higher level than the participation of other citizens in here with exception to those members and signatories of the CBA who share the same status. I would hope that because of that status, I have been elevated by that ordinance to give advice and council to this agency, that I do have the latitude to share thoughts without handcuffs as it relates to time. I will be as brief as possible, but I hope I can advise this board as to our findings and concerns in the capacity that we all agree that I serve. Mr. Pruitt stated, “Over two years now, I’ve come in front of this body and raised the concerns about minority participation more specifically in the work force, and this body instructed the CBA to meet in another meeting with the Executive Director, which I attended along with a consultant of this group and Mr. Lew Moye. It was in this meeting, that everyone was first informed, that there was a policy in place that said that on an all-white work crew, if they needed to meet the minority participation, they in essence had a waiver; unless someone (white) was fired, retired or left position, in order to create a new position for a new person to be hired. This was done without the advice and counsel of the Board of Trustees and definitely without the advice and counsel of the advisory group who has the expertise in the area spoken. The CBA was not informed and that was the first time we heard about it.” Mr. Pruitt then shared that from there, these discussions moved to a level where we began to uncover any number of things that rose to the same level of either arrogance or incompetency. As we raised those issues in our advisory capacity, Mr. Pruitt stated they were ignored. Mr. Pruitt provided an example about hiring contractors as a monitor. Mr. Pruitt stated, “The Advisory board was pushed out and we begged, as an advisory entity, to be included, but were told it was impossible and subsequently MSD wound up contracting out two entities for a monitor and for a monitor program.” Mr. Pruitt shared that there were 2 bids for monitoring; one included both the monitor and complaint software; and the cost of that bid to get both equaled half of the cost for Prism and Kwame to do the monitoring combined. In other words, you hired two people and paid twice as much money. Now you discover, the one you hired for software, does not even work. Mr. Pruitt stated, “In regard to the change order process on December 14th, MSD came back and said that there was no factual report that supports the basis of change order process issues and now we all discovered that the CBA was right and Staff was wrong.” Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 12 Mr. Pruitt shared that there were some change order issues, albeit corrected; but again staff ignored our advice and counsel. Mr. Pruitt shared, “We also brought up the issue with engineers speaking negatively about minority contractors working on projects. At that time, the Executive Director stated it did not occur, but then later came back and stated that new information was provided.” Mr. Pruitt shared that It was discovered that the inspector was frustrated with the quality of work performed by the new MWBE companies and diverse workers. Mr. Pruitt argued that this was not the first time this individual made these negative comments, that he has the power and authority over change orders, and over the people and companies, he’s speaking about badly. Mr. Pruitt stated they can provide tons of examples where they have tried, as advisory to this entity, to deal with the issues brought today and each time they were told they didn’t know what they were talking about, but subsequently they were able to come back to demonstrate the problem. Mr. Pruitt stated, “As a citizen and President of the NAACP, the CBA cannot continue coming to you as an entity to raise these issues, in an advisory capacity or not, only to continue getting the same results and not accomplishing a resolution.” Mr. Pruitt stated he thought they would get to a resolution with Trustee Rev. Bobo, Singer and Faul, but that process has also ceased. Mr. Pruitt shared they have no problem with trying to find an alternative method to induce the agency to move the process forward. “It is not a pretty process and it is nothing personal. In the line of business we are as activists; if we cannot get it done this way, we are prepared to get it done a different way. It is not a threat; it is simply saying we tried.” Mr. Pruitt then added, “We got all the way to a point where we clarified exactly what we wanted and asked for a response and everything ceased and I appreciate your time.” • Yaphett El-Amin, Executive Director of MOKAN construction and contractors assistant center, addressed and thanked the Board. MOKAN wanted to weigh in on the comments regarding the CBA default and MSD failure to cure. Ms. El- Amin addressed the Chair and stated that since 1974, MOKAN has been a leading advocate for minority and female business and workers within the St louis metropolitan area representing the largest number of minority construction contractors and workers within the St louis construction industry. MOKAN since 2012, have been through 2 administrations, 2 directors and engaged MSD for fairness and equity within their sewer districts projects. Since December 2013, MOKAN has been a signatory to the CBA agreement. Over this time, we have continue to engage MSD in various short falls that have severely impacted the minority business and workforce community. It is because of these shortfalls that MOKAN along with other CBA signatories issued a default to MSD. For the last six months, MOKAN, the National Society of Black Engineers, Universal African Peoples Organization, Coalition of Black Trade Unions, NAACP, Metropolitan Clergy Coalition, Congress of Racial Equality and the Metropolitan Church United; have engaged MSD in a lengthy process dedicating countless of hours to remedying these defaults an insuring that disadvantaged business and workers are made whole on the more than 4.7 billion dollars spent over the next 20 years regarding MSD infrastructure. Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 13 Ms. El-Amin stated that she didn’t know if there was any other entity that has had the privilege to sit and work with this many organizations representing the community on behalf of disadvantaged people. Ms. El-Amin stated that there has never been any other organization that has been so disrespectful, in its comments, tone and tenor to organizations that represent people who have been disenfranchised. She then stated she knows of no other Board of Governance that would allow a Director to publicly speak as inflammatory as he has been to any other group of citizens. Ms. El-Amin then shared that they did not come here today to express concern for a raise, but that she is still trying to understand the Directors statement regarding a very recent and increased level of litigation type of activity. Ms. El- Amin argued that they spent months speaking with Trustees, staff and each other to respectfully and intelligently put forth cures from people in the community; minority businesses and workers who have said these are the areas of concern that they have. Ms. El-Amin shared she did not know of any other entity that would come forward this intelligently only to be slapped in the face. Ms. El-Amin stated “To say that all of the concerns, that have not been rectified, or money, that 100% of it comes from ratepayers, that this man, deserves a 3% raise?” “We wonder why we continue to see people dying and looting in our communities because they feel disenfranchised. You have representatives who will come up and eloquently speak on the disenfranchisement”. Ms. El-Amin then addressed the Board and stated, “The Board has the power to force the Director to respect them, but we continue to be disrespected”. Ms. El-Amin then stated “I am asking MSD, as an organization, as a mouthpiece for minority businesses and workers who have led the city in establishing its executive orders, who have led the county in establishing its executive orders for fairness and inclusion to pause.” She stated, “if there is a litigation type activity, then let us understand what it is and if that is what has caused the organization to backstroke, we want to swim forward.” Ms. El-Amin asked if MSD could afford them the opportunity to understand where the grey area is, they would operate in black and white. Ms. El-Amin then stated that she has been working these issues since 2012 with the same concerns, but stated that there was a commission led by Jim Buford who had the strength to table items and give staff two weeks to meet and come with a resolution before moving forward. Ms. El-Amin stated that the CBA is asking for that same tenacity and spirit from the current commission today to help resolve things. She states that we have seen the community and what they will do when they feel as if they have been disenfranchised. Ms. El- Amin stated “Today we feel it and the people feel it and we do not believe it to be fair and we do not believe MSD intentionally wishes to disenfranchise people, but know that our comments and cures are reflective of people who work on these projects or who want to work on these projects and who want to get an opportunity to benefit from the dollars that are being put into the system.” Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 14 Ms. El-Amin asked for the Board of Trustees to have a heart to do the right thing and not to allow administration to dictate things, because the Board has the power to dictate to the administration and we know that it will not be easy. But twenty years from now, we will look at a system that has reflected a true model of inclusion and equity for our community; and it will take some hearts and guts to get there and we’re asking that of you today. Trustee Bonner asked Ms. El-Amin what specifically she is asking the board to do today. Ms. El-Amin asked for the Board to re-engage and give their position on the proposed cures that they’ve worked on over the past 3 months. Secondly, she stated that understanding the CBA are representative of the stakeholder community, and one of the areas of impact relative to the Directors increase in salary was based upon the diversity achievements and many of our cures are in alignment with those diversity achievements and non- achievements. So we ask that the Board table the raise increase for the Executive Director until after we achieve MSD’s position on the cures and complete the cures and reflect the full spirit of the words portraying the Executive Director positively working with the stakeholders. Trustee Singer then asked if the CBA would be willing to withdraw the legal proceeding with the goal of moving towards a collaborative structure of the CBA agreement. Ms. El-Amin thanked Trustee Singer and stated that she didn’t know what these legal proceedings were. Trustee Singer expressed that it’s the charges brought by the Human Rights Commission. Ms. El-Amin asked if the Human Rights Commission agreed or decided to bring litigation upon MSD? The Executive Director and General Counsel indicated that this was proprietary closed information and could not be discussed in open session per legal purposes. Ms. El-Amin indicated that none of the signatories present had filed any litigation towards MSD and it has been their desire to come to the table with good faith efforts to try and remedy the issues. It is not in our benefit to expand our own time and efforts and exhaust this process. Trustee Faul shared his appreciation and stated that the Board will talk on their end and asked for Ms. El-Amin to speak with her signatories to determine if there is any litigation from any signatory. Ms. El-Amin then stated that there is language that has to precede any litigation, arbitration, etc., so if there is anything that has occurred, could the legal team and Director respond in writing as to where the violation occurred and where the violation is, as it relates to the guidelines of the CBA. Ms. El- Amin states it is because they have received nothing, except for the words of the Director speaking of litigation type activity that was unclear. The Executive Director then explained that the cures process mentioned, leads to a legal process as designed in the CBA, so all the cures process is a legal process and since it has been brought up, the Missouri Commission for Human Rights claim is another one, which touches on many items in the CBA agreement as well, so we have two conflicting legal processes; One that is contained in the CBA and one outside of the CBA, which is interfering with us being able to proceed with the CBA. Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 15 Ms. El-Amin, stated that “if the Human Rights claim is the issue, then it occurred long before the default occurred and in fact, it came six months to a year prior to a default.” Ms. El-Amin then expressed that those actions were following a process and the default came and wasn’t tied to the cures default and came several months after. Ms. El-Amin clarified that she used to work with the State and understands the slow process in an action or claim against a certain entity. Ms. El-Amin claimed the Director is indicating a claim that happened last year, which has moved forward while they have worked tirelessly over the last 6 months to try and bring issues to the floor. The Executive Director states that the staff disagrees with many of the statements and conclusions made and our statement stands that we are in the midst of legal proceedings as described and we cannot go further and we believe that our information provided is sufficient. Trustee Bonner expressed that it appears that there is an issue with the decision to halt the meetings and asked if the Board could receive a copy of the communications. The Executive Director agreed and proceeded to go through the timeline to help clarify. The Executive Director expressed that staff had not met with the CBA since May 2015, at the request of the CBA signatories; they shut us down because they wanted to communicate directly with the Board. The next time we received a communication to start up communications, was in February 2016. At that time, we had gone through the formal process of going through the cures list, which were already mentioned. Then the Missouri Commission of Human Rights claim got to a point that it addressed the same issues from the outside and we were prevented from being able to proceed in just about everything due to legal processes. The Executive Director stated that the communications sent to the CBA will be provided to the Board. Ms. El-Amin then indicated that the issue with the Human Rights was in the letter she presented within the first page, but she clarified that the claim with the Missouri Commission of Human Rights was dealing with the First Source, regarding 20 African American workers on the list who were denied job opportunities with MSD. Ms. El-Amin asked the Board to request that document and the complaint to determine if that is in fact what is holding things up and if there may be an opportunity then to exclude that one issue from the other cures to move this process forward. *Two public individuals spoke unexpectedly: • Bob Williams, Brother Bob, stated that he is a long time revolutionary for Human and Civil Rights for Justice. Mr. Williams thanked the CBA organization and explained to the Board that he is a part of their group. Mr. Williams explained that “The young people are not here today because they are very disillusioned following the two rebellions in Ferguson and the Burning down of the QT and after the grand jury verdict”. Mr. Williams stated that the young people told the CBA that they could go up there (MSD) and negotiate. Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 16 Mr. Williams said “The CBA asked the young people to give them the opportunity as they move this process along”. Mr. Williams says that he is very concerned with what we saw in Dallas. He says that the CBA has said, that “the young people need job training and jobs”. Mr. Williams stated that we have to deal with the real issues here. “Too many white people in America are in denial of the tremendous problem of racism we have in America. We have too many neo-colonists, plantation Negros, preachers and politicians sitting at the feet of white masters and sons at the table. They are not letting you know and they aren’t saying to you, the white people, that you all can go back to the rulers”. Mr. Williams expressed that “we (St Louis) are the epic center of the whole world looking and following Michael Brown death”. This aint nothing to play with, Mr. Williams stated. Mr. Williams informed the Board that the members of the CBA have talked to the young people and told them, “We will bring you back results”. Mr. Williams then informed the Board that he is documenting and videotaping, so MSD can no longer say things in house with social media. Mr. Williams then stated “We don’t want these young people rising up in st louis and north county. We don’t want any shootings here. How can you prevent that? Revolution ain’t nothing but change, violent or non-violent. I happen to be non-violent, as a disciple of Dr. King and Ghandi”. Mr. Williams then expressed that as a political prisoner on guns “I would have killed all the noise. I tell you I’ll manufacture one bullet, and you’ll manufacture one gun. But you have enough guns to kill everybody black in the community anytime overnight. You all have to be able, black folks and white folks, you have to be at the table. I want to be at the table Brian, when we meet from now on. When we go back to these young people they will be at the table also. But it will be like President Obama said in Great Britain recently, when you get to the table, don’t kick it over. You have to be able to sit at the table, you have to learn to negotiate. That’s what the CBA is doing right now. The last time they were here they were mild. When they return this time, we want them to return and know how to negotiate what they need. They will tell you what they need. We listen to them and you all better start listening”. • Coffee Wright. Addressed the Board and notified them that she was not going to speak long because what everyone else has said is clear and understood. Ms. Wright then expressed that she has alot of concerns and speaks for a lot of the young people as well. She stated that “with the 4.9 billion that MSD is bringing in, we feel like 31% of customers are black and with simple mathematics of $1.38 billion, it seems like some of those jobs and contracts should go to blacks”. Ms. Wright then expressed, “I don’t know what the problem is, why do we have to beg to work when you’re getting our money? We also have a concern when properties are unoccupied. Why are we being charged for unoccupied properties? We still have to pay that rate? That’s not fair. You are making St. Louis a bad place to live. We don’t like it”. “I’m born and raised in St Louis. I have 6 generations alive in st louis. Think about all the other people in St louis who have 4-5 generations alive, you’re making us suffer. Its not fair, I wish someone would not only have a heart, but just do the right thing. Why do we have to beg for the right thing?” Edited 8/4/16 Pg. 17 Ms. Wright then stated, “We don’t want to riot, we don’t want to come up here, we don’t want to start killing people, we don’t want to keep making the news…blacks are killing the police and blacks are killing MSD. We don’t want to do that and im not trying to threaten you all, but it’s coming to the point where enough is enough. It’s not fair and we’re not going to play like its fair. It’s not fair when they say that the protestors play with the police, like we need more of that when protestors play with the police that’s not fair. That is not making us satisfied”. Ms. Wright then stated, “what would satisfy everyone is when they can see fair in front of their face. When police are prosecuted like the average thug on the street, when they do wrong then they should be prosecuted, but when they keep getting off, it just creates a lot of anger and racism.” Ms. Wright then said that she held St Louis first Juneteenth parade for the 151st Anniversary, which should have been the 151st parade. Ms. Wright asked, “Why was last month the first Juneteenth parade?” She stated that she had to fight city hall for a parade and they suggested a backyard party or block party, but she wanted a parade. Ms. Wright stated that she is a taxpayer and owns 35 properties in the city and she believes she does her share of putting money into the city. Ms. Wright asked to see fairness and informed the Board that they were not asking for any handouts or extra bonuses. Just to be fair.
