~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Bonner reported that The Finance Committee met on October 4, 2016 with
Trustees Faul, Mandel, and Singer in attendance. The minutes from the August 30, 2016
meeting were approved.
The first item discussed on the agenda was the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of September 30, 2016. Staff indicated that the portfolio complies with the District’s investment policy.
The next item on the agenda included a staff request for authorization to allocate assets
within the Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with the results of the most recent asset
allocation study. Staff indicated that this would formally authorize the District to liquidate assets held in the Wellington Diversified Inflation Hedge Fund and to allocate those assets to the UBS Trumbull Property Fund. This will be Resolution #3308 on tonight’s agenda.
Staff then reported Pavilion is in the process of reviewing the Pension Investment Policy
for improvements that will be more in line with the objectives of the fund and similar
pension plans.
Next, staff presented the expected timeline for the issuance of the 2016C Senior Bonds. There will be no significant changes from the 2015B issuance process except for the
potential change in the bond coupon rate and debt service structure. The total cost of
issuance is expected to be approximately $1.25 million.
The next item on the agenda consisted of a staff discussion of a resolution that would authorize the transfer of unencumbered appropriated balances from the FY16 General Fund budget to the General Insurance Fund and the Water Backup Fund. This transfer
relates to flood expenses incurred because of historic rainfall in December.
The resolution also includes two transfers that realign Stormwater Operating budgets
within the OMCI funds to accurately record the location of Stormwater expenses. This will be Resolution #3307 on tonight’s agenda.
Staff then requested authorization to enter into a contract with enfoTech to procure and
implement a Pretreatment Information Management System (PIMS) including licensing

is no Board action required at this time. The next agenda item was a discussion by Brian Hoelscher regarding future funding for
District-wide stormwater services. Brian reviewed the District-wide stormwater services
currently funded, as well as identifying stormwater issues that have no funding. The staff
described key issues, questions and considerations to be presented to the public for their feedback prior to the preparation of a rate case for consideration by the Rate Commission.. There is no Board action required at this time.

Comments from the Executive Director.
Thank you Mr. Chair,
I have one item this evening.
On Friday, September 23rd, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) St. Louis
Section held its annual awards dinner.
This year, the Missouri River Wastewater Treatment Facility - Secondary Treatment
Expansion and Disinfection Facilities project was the recipient of the St. Louis Section
Project of the Year. The Award is given to an engineering project within the St. Louis
region that demonstrates the greatest engineering skills and represents the greatest
contribution to civil engineering progress and mankind.
This project was designed to increase the capacity of the Missouri River Wastewater Treatment plant from 28 to 38 million gallons per day (mgd) average and a maximum of 80
mgd wet-weather flow to serve potential commercial, light industrial and residential
development planned near the facility. The improvements to this facility will benefit
countless downstream communities for decades to come.
Team members on this project included the design engineer Black and Veatch, the general contractor Goodwin Brothers, construction manager Kwame Building Group and
many individuals from the District’s Engineering and Operations department. Thanks to all
of them for their fine work in winning this award.
The Executive Director thanked the Engineering team who were involved.
Thank you Mr. Chairman, this concludes my report.

Comments from the Public.
Bob Blummer of A.L.L. Construction:
Discussed and encouraged MSD to move forward with the Deer Creek Tunnel work. Mr.
Blummer indicated the unemployment factor during the winter months for construction workers and that these same construction workers could be earning a paycheck and
boosting the economy if this project is approved. Mr. Blummer thanked the Board for
listening.
Yaphett El-Amin Executive Director of MOKAN: Ms. El-Amin, indicated both her and MOKAN’s support on the forward movement on the
Maline Creek project, as well as, for MSD to move forward with awarding the lowest bid
contractor, Jay-Dee Frontier Kempker- Joint Venture, the contract. MOKAN also would
like to go on record and speak towards the minority companies listed under the Minority
participation. Out of seven(7) of those companies, MOKAN directly represents four(4) .
Edited 4/6/18 Pg. 6
Ms. El-Amin stated that it is her understanding that through correspondence with MOKAN members, that there were concerns raised from MSD relative to the minority participation.
Ms. El-Amin shared a letter that she sent to the Executive Director on September 16, 2016
offering some questions about the concerns relative to A.L.L. and about another company
as it relates to the minority participation. She asked to go on record to say that this project has several local African American companies that represent more than 100 local employees. She also is concerned that the second low bidder has proposed more than 16
million dollars’ worth of minority participation with an out of town Minority Company based
out of Texas. Ms. El-Amin claimed that prior to working for MSD, this company had not
secured more than one million dollars’ worth of participation through their company and are currently proposed to do more than 16 million dollars’ worth of participation; representing almost double of the other minority companies with the lowest bid.
Ms. El-Amin expressed concern as to whether the company can perform this type of work
and worried that this could have an adverse impact on the seven(7) African American local companies that have been listed with the low bidder. Ms. El-Amin also wanted to present to the board, images reflecting other concerns related to the non-minority company that is
performing as the ready mix provider. In addition, Ms. El-Amin wanted to go on record
expressing concern of another project occurring in the University City area where a
female-based company named DFW, out of Texas, (shown on the pictures) working for MSD, but using an ACE pipe cleaning truck, with their decal on the truck. Yaphett would like to know how this relates to MSD’s diversity compliance and whether or not this action
has been questioned. Ms. El-Amin stated there were concerns that there is a firm listed as
a certified WBE company with a Texas sign and a Project Clear truck that has a DFW
decal overlapping the project clear logo. Ms. El-Amin said she was concerned with out of town firms and companies that are
bringing in out of town contractors and asked the Board to look further into these matters.
She would also like MSD to move forward on this project. Ms. El-Amin stated that often
times, out of town firms have treated local minority firms better and have done a great job diversifying the number of minority firms they have brought onto the job and the pool of dollars. Ms. El-Amin expressed that MOKAN would like to see these companies continue
to employ other people throughout the community.
In closing, Yaphett stated that there were additional documents related to a mentor protégé’ program and local minority and majority companies have tried to create their own. She stated that Bob Behr, the past Board Chairman, indicated this would be good for
MSD. Ms. El-Amin shared that there are several companies working on MSD projects
who have alleged to have a protégé program, but unfortunately, we have not seen a
formal mentor protégé program. Ms. El-Amin believes that MSD should create an acceptable model for this program in order to take advantage of opportunities to fully grow and build capacity for minority based firms.
