Comments by the Executive Director:
Thank you Mr. Chair,
I have a few items I would like to present this evening.
Staff used the existing tax rates in effect to prepare the Fiscal Year 2019 budget that was approved by the Board in June. As is customary, staff recently received revisions to the property assessment data
from the City and County and began the process of calculating revised tax rates. As such, a Special
Board meeting is required in order to meet the October 2nd deadline for the submission of the revised tax rates to the City and County Assessor’s Office.
The Special Board meeting will take place at 2350 Market Street on September 27, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. In the past, at least one Board member has been physically present, while others have participated
via conference call. Please let my Assistant, Tamara Clinton, know how you prefer to attend.
Lastly, I would like to turn the report over to Shonnah Parades to present the Semi-Annual Diversity Report.
Rev -Edited 1/19/19 Pg. 5
Shonnah Paredes, Manager of Diversity, delivered the Diversity Annual Report for the Board of Trustees and staff.
Ms. Paredes explained that 82 construction projects worth slightly over $248 Million were awarded with 85% of
them being sewer construction projects. All awards were 100% in compliance with the Diversity Program guidelines. Ms. Paredes stated that slightly over 34% of the $248 Million dollars in awards went to MWBE
subcontractors and that there was only one project awarded using good faith efforts. Ms. Paredes also reported that the category of Design-Build was added to the Diversity Programs.
Within the CIRP Construction Workforce Program, Ms. Paredes reported that MSD is less than 1% away from
meeting 30% minority and 7% women participation. Ms. Paredes explained that although there’s an increase in women participation, challenges exist with women working in the trades and MSD will focus on efforts to increase
the availability of women.
Ms. Paredes reported that there were 17 Design contract awards totaling $3.8 Million dollars with 33% in commitments to MWBE’s without any goals in place and on 118 Active contracts, MSD paid out $17 Million dollars or 40% of the payments on professional service contracts.
In relation to the Small Contractor Program, Ms. Paredes pronounced her pride in this program at how minority and women contractors have the opportunity to work as Primes. Ms. Paredes explained that 509 projects were
awarded with 34.6 percent of those awards going to minority and women prime contractors. The Small Contractor
Program is an area, which continues to have significant growth for small contractors seeking to grow their capacity. Ms. Paredes communicated that MSD announced in January that regular meetings resumed with the CBA
(Community Benefits Agreement) Signatories as of March 2018. It was reported that significant accomplishments continue to be made on CBA programs such as the Contractor Loan Fund; MSD Bud Job Training Program and First Source Hiring Programs in partnership with Slate as well as Education, Internship programs where MSD
sponsors internships for disadvantaged high school students. MSD also sponsored 5 interns this past summer in Operations, IT, Finance and Information Governance and three candidates completed the SIUE Environmental Resource Training Certification Program and Ms. Parades was happy to announce that 1 of those recipients is now
employed by MSD.
Ms. Paredes closed with an update on MSD’s Diversity Reporting system and the Tunneling OJT Training Program
currently on four tunneling jobs: 3 MSD sponsored, Upper Maline Creek, Maline Creek, and Deer Creek Sanitary Tunnel and 1 contractor sponsored Jefferson Barracks Tunnel. Ms. Paredes expressed that they have focused their efforts on retention of the workforce on these tunneling projects, but overall these projects have been very successful with workforce goals.
Rev -Edited 1/19/19 Pg. 6
Lastly, Ms. Paredes announced that the report information over the past year is provided in the form of an Annual Report that highlights the faces of diversity throughout the district and community as a reference to Diversity’s
annual information.
There were no questions from the Board, but many congratulations were offered. Thank you Mr. Chairman, this concludes my report.
Comments from the Public:
Steve Lewis from AGC, Associated General Contractors, congratulated MSD on a successful diversity and inclusion supplier diversity program and then addressed the board about Ordinance 15031 on the Board Agenda.
Mr. Lewis stated that AGC, disputes the proposed sole source related to the project and that AGC believes that a project of this magnitude should be competitively bid. Mr. Lewis then expressed that AGC supports and promotes a diverse business and community work force and thanked the Board for listening.
