Staff responded that they were not aware of any issues, but agreed to report back prior to tonight’s Board meeting. 5/24/16 Pg. 3 MSD Engineering and Diversity Staff provided a detailed presentation on the District’s Vendor and Workforce Diversity Compliance Process. The presentation touched on specific tasks and workflows utilized to evaluate and monitor MSD construction projects for Diversity compliance. Staff detailed steps used to resolve issues and enforcement mechanisms for non-compliance. Staff then addressed specifics regarding diversity compliance issues and a contractual disagreement between A.L.L. Construction (a sub-contractor) and Bates Utility (a prime contractor). This issue was presented by Mr. Anton Lumpkins of A.L.L. Construction at the April 14, 2016 Board meeting. Details were provided to the Committee regarding the Diversity staff’s activities over the past several months regarding the contracts affected, compliance monitoring observations, and on-going resolution activities. The complete investigation of this issue has resulted in Bates Utility being found non- compliant with MSD Diversity policies. Staff has placed sanctions on Bates Utility that restricts them from bidding on MSD projects for a period of one year, the removal from the District’s Emergency Contractor list and the rescinding of a project previously awarded to them. In addition, over the next year A.L.L. Construction will also be monitored as a result of their performance as it relates to the Diversity program. Staff then addressed the following agenda item pending from the April 14, 2016 Board of Trustees meeting: Ord. No. 14357 – Infrastructure Repair Caulks Creek “A” Phase VI – This ordinance requests the appropriation of additional funds to cover unanticipated costs incurred on this force main replacement project. This item was held for the review of issues involving Bates Utility, the prime contractor for the project. Staff recommended proceeding with the Introduction and Adoption of the Supplemental Appropriation for the project currently under construction at the May 12, 2016 Board meeting. The critical nature of completing the project within a schedule committed to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources would not be possible without continuing this work in a timely manner. MSD staff is committed to ensure that Bates completes this work in compliance with all contract requirements. Finally, Mr. Terry Briggs of SITE Improvement Association addressed the Committee to discuss the non-compliance issues and sanctions placed on Bates Utility. There was a general discussion between Mr. Briggs and the Committee on vendor and workforce issues faced by the contractors he represents.

The Committee recommended Ordinances 14379 - 14391 be brought to the Board for consideration. Pavilion Advisory Group reported on the performance of the District’s Pension, Deferred Compensation and Defined Contribution Plans. As of March 2016, the Pension Plan underperformed its benchmark; reporting a return of 0.9%, while the Policy Benchmark returned 1.4%. On a trailing one-year basis, the Plan reported a loss of -1.8%, underperforming the Benchmark return of -1.3%. The Deferred Compensation and Defined Contribution Plan’s balanced and target date retirement fund returns were positive for the quarter; with the more conservatively positioned, shorter-dated funds being the best absolute performers. Staff then reported on the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of April 2016. The portfolio is in compliance with the District’s investment policy. The next item on the agenda was an ordinance authorizing the Staff to update the District’s Investment Policy including an updated list of approved Securities-Dealers and approved Commercial Paper. This action will allow Staff to purchase investments from additional providers within the parameters of the District’s Investment Policy, thereby increasing competition and reducing cost. This will be Resolution #3275 and 3276 on tonight’s agenda. Staff requested authorization to enter into a “not-to-exceed contract” in the amount of $200,000 with CDR Maguire to assist with the submission of documents to FEMA and the Missouri Emergency Management Agency for potential reimbursement of costs associated with the December 2015 flooding and rain event.

The quarterly March 2016 Adjustment Review Committee report was accepted into the record as required by ordinance. Staff reported on the current financial condition of the District indicating it continues to be financially stable and current projections indicate the District will be under budget for Fiscal Year 2016. 5/24/16 Pg. 5 The next item on the agenda consisted of a request by staff for authorization to repeal the current Purchasing Ordinance 13537 and enact a new ordinance based on best business practices and State Statute.

First, On April 19, 2016, the 36th Biennial Outstanding Mechanical Installation Awards Program was held at the Moolah Shrine facility in Maryland Heights, Missouri. The Mechanical Contractor Association of Eastern Missouri recognized Haberberger, Inc. for their work on the Coldwater Creek WWTP Disinfection Project for work performed within the $600,000 to $2 million category and for the Lemay Pump Station No.1 and No. 2 Redundant Force Main Project for work performed in the over $2 million category. Accepting the “owner’s plaque” on behalf of MSD were Marie Collins, Assistant Director of Construction Management for the Coldwater project and Patricia Pride, Design Project Manager for the Lemay project. Trustee Faul thanked both Marie and Patricia for their involvement. Second, I’d like to ask the Director of Operations, Jon Sprague, to give the quarterly Regulatory Report. 5/24/16 Pg. 6 Jon Sprague addressed the Board with his Quarterly Regulatory Compliance Update presentation for the first quarter covering January – March 31, 2016. This covers compliance measures including plant compliance with National permits, customer service issues and a number of metrics that show the health of the collection system. This reflects a lot of the aftermath of the rains in late December. Treatment plants for the 1st quarter had no violations. Emergency response rates were impacted by rains in late December. All emergency response calls are replied to within 4 hours, but the heavy rain weeks, affected the response time and influenced our ability to respond in timely fashion, but we are currently rebounding in that area. The Director of Operations explained that there were not 300 Maintenance related building backups, but instead these were coded as basement backups, so customers could receive compensation, due to the failures of the Grand Glaize and Fenton Treatment plants. In the future, the report will reflect the true overflows. Currently this report reflects all the basements that were impacted by the failure of the plants. 5/24/16 Pg. 7 Maintenance related dry weather overflows are due to sewer problems into creeks and streams and are high due to heavy rains, but not bad for 100-year storm event. There were 718 capacity related backups between End of December and first week of January. This number will drop dramatically in the next quarter as it was directly related to the 100-year storm event. Total Constructed sanitary overflows is a measure of CD compliance. The Director explained that the overflows constructed into the pipes were built to relieve basement backups. These are legal and being removed by the consent decree. We are now down to 133 that remain, with only 9 of the overflow points becoming activated and having overflows. The Director of Operations then ended his report with an overview represented on a scorecard. He also asked the Board if they wished to continue receiving this report quarterly or within a different timeframe. The Board was not asked to provide a response at this time. The Executive Director then stated he had no further comments and thanked the Board. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 5/24/16 Pg. 8 Comments from the Public: • Michael Murphy distributed materials to the Board and Staff. He then explained his position as a Union Rep for SEIU and represents workers at Treatment plants and pump stations. Mr. Murphy explained that the Union is currently in the process of a bargaining agreement with the District. Mr. Murphy stated that the Health Insurance jumped approximately 13%. Mr. Murphy argued that the increase in health insurance decreases an employee’s take home pay. Mr. Murphy requested that the Board consider adding a Union Representative to the review board when the request for proposals go out. Mr. Murphy would like the Board to place Union Reps at the table to assist in the decisions. The Executive Director stated that this request was currently being discussed during negotiations presently. • Eric Moore introduced himself as the Union Representative for Local 410. He indicated that the union mission is to educate both members and nonmembers. • Mr. Moore addressed the board regarding a phone call that he received from Human Resources relating to Union members visiting employees at their homes and complaints by employees that their personal addresses were provided to the Union. Mr. Moore stated that MSD then emailed all their non- members to advise them of their rights to join or not to join the Union. Mr. Moore argued to the Board that the District was supposed to remain neutral. He then explained that the Union was notified that a MSD staff member at the Grand Glaize location had been handing out Union withdrawal forms. • Mr. Moore asked that the Board inform MSD management to stop intimidating employees against the Union. Jon Sprague, the Director of Operations, expressed his disappointment that Union negotiated items were being brought to the Board’s attention before negotiations were final. The Director then responded to the email sent by MSD. Jon Sprague explained that the email sent was only to inform the District that MSD did not share their personal information and that he would personally investigate the Grand Glaize supervisor’s involvement, as he was not aware of the situation. The Executive Director stated that an explanation will be provided to the Board upon further investigation. 5/24/16 Pg. 9 Tom Sullivan addressed the Board with four (4) complaints relating to four (4) items on the agenda: • Item 21 – Mr. Sullivan argued that he was unsure why the District was unable to maintain a records management program via the District employees. • Item 49 – Mr. Sullivan asked why MSD would require consulting services with FEMA, when they should be managed in house. • Item 52 – Mr. Sullivan asked why MSD would use an external auditor and argued it was not a good deal for taxpayers. He argued that outside auditors gloss over important items and are not reliable. • Item 40 – Mr. Sullivan agreed that there should be an increase in the Blocked Main and Overcharged Line Back up insurance Program and that additional funds should be incorporated into the budget as it directly affects the consumer. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Yates moved to review the Consent Agenda. 5/24/16 Pg. 10 CONSENT AGENDA: ORDINANCES Adoption of Proposed Ord.
