The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a
detailed discussion regarding the following items: Ordinance No. 14502 – CSO Green Infrastructure Grant Agreement – St. Margaret of
Scotland. Staff provided details on the Green Infrastructure Grant for this project. This
ordinance on tonight’s agenda will authorize staff to enter into the agreement for this
project. The grant program is part of the District’s efforts to reduce combined sewer overflows to the Mississippi River as required by the consent decree. Melantha Norton of the District’s Engineering staff then gave a brief presentation on the overall Green
Infrastructure Grant Program and answered questions from the Committee about the
specifics of the materials used.
Ordinance No. 14504 – DC-02 & DC-03 Sanitary Relief – Staff provided details of this ordinance which will provide a planned partial appropriation for this multi-year
construction project. A similar planned partial appropriation for the Maline Creek CSO
Local Storage Facility is also on tonight’s agenda as Ordinance No. 14506. This major
project is also being funded over multiple years. Ordinance Nos. 14513 through 14515 – Emergency Repair #056 – Staff requested
action on three ordinances resulting from flood damage that occurred at the Fenton
Wastewater Treatment Plant during the August 15, 2016 rain event. One ordinance will
provide for funding of the emergency repair work; the remaining two authorize staff to enter into a construction contract, and the design/construction management contract to complete the work. Staff gave an update on the status of the emergency work and
mitigation efforts at the treatment plant. Staff answered questions from the Committee
regarding MBE participation on emergency projects. Staff recommended introduction
and adoption for these three ordinances. Ordinance No. 14516 – Riverside & Yarnell Forensic Testing – Staff provided details for
this action which will provide supplemental funds for this project. Staff answered
questions from the Committee on the project’s issues. To keep the project moving
expeditiously, staff recommended introduction and adoption of this ordinance. Ordinance No. 14519 – Flow Metering and Monitoring – Staff provided details for the
District’s flow metering program that is currently performed with internal Operations’
staff. This ordinance, which is being recommended by Staff, will provide for the out-
sourcing of this activity. There was an extensive conversation from the Board regarding the cost effectiveness for out-sourcing versus using in-house staff for this program.
Ordinance No. 14520 – Mississippi Floodwall Pump Station Rehabilitation – Staff
provided details for this engineering design contract. There were questions from the Committee regarding utilization of MWBE subs on
Edited 4/6/18 Pg. 4
engineering professional services projects. There was a discussion on overall MWBE results on engineering professional service contracts and potential policy goals in the
future. There were specific questions regarding MWBE subs for the County Treatment
Facility Design project, which had a lower MWBE utilization.
Staff then updated the Committee on the use of reinforced concrete pipe for sanitary sewers on District projects. Staff indicated that adjustments were made to strengthen
the District’s specification for pipe quality and pipe joint integrity and that the use of this
pipe had been reinstated on future projects.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:06 a.m.
The next Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Trustee Bonner reported that The Finance Committee met on August 30, 2016 with
Trustees Bonner, Faul, Mandel, Bobo, Yates and Singer in attendance. The minutes
from the August 2, 2016 meeting were approved.
The first item discussed on the agenda was the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of August 26, 2016. Staff indicated that the portfolio complies with the District’s investment
policy.
Next, Staff and the District’s pension consultant, Pavilion, led a discussion focused on investment management fees and hedge funds. Rich Marra presented a summary of historical performance using active versus passive investment management in various
asset classes. The analysis revealed an opportunity to improve performance by moving
Large Cap Equity investments to low-fee index funds. Pavilion otherwise recommended
that MSD maintain its current investment strategy but eliminate the Real Asset allocation and move that allocation to Core Real Estate to improve the risk/return profile. Pavilion also recommended continuing to utilize hedge funds to diversify the pension
portfolio.
Staff then updated the Board on an expected borrowing totaling $95.5 million from the State Revolving Fund (SRF). The SRF provides subsidized interest rates on loans obtained to construct clean water projects. A special Board meeting may be required to
introduce and adopt an ordinance authorizing direct loan agreements of $20.0 million
and $75.5 million with the State of Missouri to be repaid over 20 years.
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, 2017. This
will be Resolution #3298 on tonight’s agenda.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 11:08 a.m. The next tentatively scheduled
meeting is Tuesday, October 4, 2016. This concludes the Finance Committee Report.

Thank you Mr. Chair,
I have a few items I would like to present this evening.
Each year the National Association of Clean Water Agencies or NACWA presents Peak
Performance Awards to those member agencies that achieve outstanding performance
in treatment plant operations. I am happy to report that all seven of the District’s plants have received Peak Performance Awards for calendar year 2015. Silver Awards are also presented to facilities that have had five (5) or less violations in
the calendar year. This award was presented to the District’s Bissell Point Treatment
Plant.
Gold Awards are presented to facilities that have achieved perfect compliance for a single year. This award was presented to the District’s Lemay, Grand Glaize, Missouri
River and Coldwater Treatment Plants for their lack of violations during 2015. Platinum
awards are presented to facilities that have achieved perfect compliance for five or more
years. This was achieved by our Lower Meramec and Fenton Treatment plants for maintaining a perfect compliance record for eight consecutive years. Congratulations to all of our
facilities for these achievements!
Now, I’d like to ask the Director of Operations, Jon Sprague, to give the Semi Annual Report. Jon Sprague addressed the Board and explained why he has switched to
Edited 4/6/18 Pg. 6
providing a Semi-Annual Regulatory Compliance Report, which helps to remain more efficient and aligns with the EPA reporting. This report focuses on high-level metrics
and shows compliance that are important with the treatment plants, customer service
aspects and collection systems.
With our NPDES permit compliance; we received gold and platinum awards, our customer service emergency response and the number of collection system metrics
that shows we are maintaining the capacity of our collection systems. Overall, a good
first half of the year.
Next, as part of its commitment to customer service, the District conducts two different
types of customer surveying on an annual basis. The first type of surveying is titled the
Post-Contact Customer Survey. Post-Contact surveying is conducted with customers
that have proactively contacted the District with a service or billing issue. Each month, the District surveys 150 of these customers, with the number evenly split between
service and billing calls. The results of this surveying are aggregated into quarterly
reports that staff uses to monitor and improve our customer service.
The type of surveying is titled the Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey. Customer Satisfaction surveying is conducted with a representative sample of all of the District’s
customers. Versus the Post-Contact surveying, participants in the Customer
Satisfaction Survey may or may not have contacted MSD with a service or billing issue
during the course of the year. Customer Satisfaction surveying solicits feedback on a
broad set of topics about MSD and its performance.
I would like to invite Nick Jones, who is with our survey contractor, the ETC Institute, to
provide the board and the public with the current results of this surveying.
Nick Jones explained to the Board the various surveys given to customers; post contact survey and annual customer satisfaction survey. These surveys have been present
since 2004 to gather input from customers who have contacted MSD for a billing or
maintenance issues so that we may objectively evaluate the billing and field operations.
Edited 4/6/18 Pg. 7
Over the course of the year, we have performed 1800 surveys; 150 a month equally
between field and billing. For the second quarter, results were 452 surveys.
Thank you Mr. Chairman, this concludes my report.
