~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Bonner reported that The Finance Committee met on September 5, 2017 with Trustees
Yates, Singer, Mandel and Faul in attendance. The minutes from the August 1, 2017 meeting were approved.
The first item on the agenda consisted of a staff discussion of a resolution that would authorize the transfer of unencumbered appropriated balances from the FY17 General Fund budget to the Water
Backup Fund. The funds are required to cover future water backup claims. This will be Resolution
#3373 on tonight’s agenda.
Next on the agenda was an ordinance that designated the team of investment underwriting firms
that will assist with the issuance of the District’s series 2017A wastewater revenue bonds. The proposed team is comprised of a Senior Manager, Barclays Capital, and five other managers:
Siebert Cisneros Shank, Citigroup Global Markets, US Bancorp, Loop Capital Markets and Fifth
Third Securities. This will be Ordinance #14799 on tonight’s agenda.
The next item discussed was the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan fee reduction. Six ordinances will be introduced to amend the definition of “Administrative Fee” in previous ordinances that authorized SRF Loans. The change in the loan administrative fee to one-half percent (.5%) from
one percent (1.0%) was approved by the Clean Water Commission in April and will reduce financing costs beginning January 1, 2018.
These are Ordinances #14793 - #14798 on tonight’s agenda.
Staff then reviewed the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of August 31, 2017. Staff indicated
that the portfolio is in compliance with the District’s Investment Policy.
The District’s Employees’ Pension Plan Actuarial Valuation report by Milliman was rescheduled for
next month. Staff then presented a resolution that authorizes the exercise of an additional one-year contract
option with Milliman, Inc. to provide actuarial services. This will be Resolution #3370 on tonight’s
agenda.
Pavilion Advisory Group then reported on the performance of the District’s Pension, Deferred Compensation and Defined Contribution Plans as of June 2017. During the second quarter, the
Pension Plan outperformed its benchmark, reporting a return of 2.8%. On a trailing one-year
basis, the Plan reported a gain of 8.6%, underperforming the Policy Benchmark return of 9.1%.
Edited 6/22/18 Pg. 3
The Deferred Compensation and Defined Contribution Plans’ balanced and target date
retirement funds ranked above median.
The current asset allocation was within investment policy targets. Staff and the Committee
held a discussion regarding overall Plan performance with a focus on the high fees of hedge funds and lowered return expectations for most asset classes. Staff committed to bringing
alternative asset allocations to the Committee with an analysis of expected return, volatility,
and fees for each scenario. Potential changes to the assumed rate of return for Plan investments will also be reviewed.
The next item on the agenda was a resolution that authorizes the staff to exercise an additional one-year contract option with Pavilion Advisory Group, Inc. to provide investment consulting
services through the quarter ending September 30, 2018. This will be Resolution #3371 on
tonight’s agenda.

Trustee Yates reported that The Program Management Committee met on September 5, 2017 at
8:17 a.m. The meeting was attended by trustees Yates, Faul, Singer, and Mandel
The minutes of the August 1, 2017 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed
discussion regarding the following items:
Ord. No. 14777 through Ord. No 14779 – Staff provided details regarding three CSO Green
Infrastructure Grant Agreements to be approved by the Board. The grants are part of the District’s
Consent Decree commitment to capture stormwater within the combined sewer area thus reducing combined sewer overflows to the Mississippi River. Staff responded to questions from the
Committee about the long term inspection of the facilities. Staff indicated that the District’s Environmental Compliance Division of Engineering tracks all
Green Infrastructure facilities and inspects them on 3-5 year intervals to verify they are being maintained by the owners. The District currently tracks approximately 6,000 of these facilities.
Ord. No. 14782 – Infrastructure Repairs Facilities – Staff explained the appropriation of $3 million to provide funding for repair and rehabilitation projects at various wastewater treatment plants and
pumping stations throughout the District. There was a discussion between the Committee and
staff regarding the necessity of this funding and the ability to complete projects in a timelier manner than the District’s Capital Improvement Program. Additionally, because these projects are typically
un-planned, funding for these projects is not available within the Operations Department’s operating budget.
Ord. No. 14785 – Private Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program – Staff provided details of the
use of the appropriated funds and indicated that an additional $1 million was being appropriated to address excessive infiltration issues located in the Florissant area. These issues have caused
numerous building back-ups over the years, specifically during the April 2017 rains. The program being administered with assistance from the City of Florissant will help control back-
ups with the installation of check valves on the laterals, and the installation of sump pumps to relieve excessive groundwater entering the sewer laterals and basements. There was a
discussion between the Committee and staff on the successfulness of this type of program and the
relationship to the District’s Stormwater programs.
