Trustee Yates reported that The Program Management Committee met on October 3, 2017 at 7:57
a.m. The meeting was attended by trustees Yates, Mandel, Singer, Bonner, and Bobo.
The minutes of the September 5, 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. 14801 and Ord. No. 14803 through Ord. No. 14805 – Staff provided details regarding four
CSO Green Infrastructure Grant Agreements to be approved by the Board and gave a brief
presentation about the overall Green Infrastructure Program and the use of these Grants. The CSO Green Infrastructure Program is 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 requested Ordinance No. 14801 be considered for Introduction and Adoption to allow for the owners to expedite the construction to complete the work within the Fall
construction season. Trustee Rev. Bobo disclosed to the Committee his involvement with Ordinance No. 14801 and indicated that he would be abstaining on any vote. Staff also addressed questions regarding the life of the Green facilities.
Ord. No. 14812 – Patrina Court Bank Stabilization – Staff requested authorization to proceed to
further condemnation efforts to acquire a temporary construction license on a single property to
allow for the construction of approximately 685 lineal feet of natural channel stabilization and appurtenances. The purpose of the project is to stabilize the existing creek bank from further
erosion that is threatening 9 properties. The District has been unable to negotiate a settlement
with the final owner. This owner does not benefit from the project but is needed to access and construct the improvements. Staff will continue to negotiate with the owner but is requesting
authorization to continue the acquisition process and keep the project on schedule. There was a
discussion between Staff and the Committee regarding funding and prioritization of stormwater erosion projects throughout the District. The Committee requested various documents from staff
regarding the current state of Stormwater funding for improvements within the District.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:53 a.m. The next Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 8:00am.

Trustee Bonner reported that The Finance Committee met on October 3, 2017 with Trustees Bonner, Bobo, Yates, Singer, Mandel and Faul in attendance. The minutes from the September 5, 2017 meeting were approved.
The first item on the agenda consisted of a review of the District’s Employees’ Pension Plan
Actuarial Valuation report as of December 31, 2016, by Bill Winningham of Milliman. The actuarial
valuation of the Plan is intended to determine the recommended level of employer contribution for the 2017 calendar year and to assess the relative funded position of the plan on an ongoing basis.
The funded status was 82% as of December 31, 2016. Mr. Winningham also reported on the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s new accounting standards for public pension plans and participating employers.
The next item discussed on the agenda was the Design Build construction process and related procedures. Design Build is an alternative delivery process to the traditional Design, Bid, Build
process and its use may be more advantageous depending on the type of project.
Staff then reviewed an ordinance that authorizes changes to sections of the Purchasing
Ordinance 14397 that includes adding additional language relating to the Design Build delivery method, combining it with previous language regarding alternative delivery contracts. This will be Ordinance 14824 on tonight’s agenda.
The next item discussed on the agenda was a resolution that authorizes staff to modify the
Edited 10/30/17 Pg. 4
Approved Securities Dealers list. This action will allow staff to purchase investments from
additional providers, within the parameters of the District’s Investment Policy, thereby increasing competition and potentially reducing cost. This is Resolution #3376 on tonight’s agenda.
Next on the agenda was a staff review of the District's Operating Fund Portfolio as of September
30, 2017. Staff indicated that the portfolio is in compliance with the District’s Investment Policy.
Staff then gave an update on the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)
program. WIFIA provides long-term, low-cost supplemental loans for regionally and nationally significant projects. MSD was one of the 12 entities across the nation selected to apply for a loan
from the program. The application fee is $100,000 and is non-refundable. Staff indicated that
funds were previously budgeted to cover debt issuance cost such as this fee and the Board will be notified if the fee is paid.
The meeting adjourned at 10:53 a.m. The next tentatively scheduled meeting is Tuesday, October 31, 2017. This concludes the Finance Committee Report.

Comments by the Executive Director:
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 2016.
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 Lemay 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 Bissel, Grand Glaize, Missouri River and Coldwater
Treatment Plants for their lack of violations during 2016.
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 nine consecutive years. Congratulations to all of our facilities for these achievements!
Thank you Mr. Chairman, this concludes my report.

Comments from the Public:
Mr. and Mrs. Teepe (Teh-Pee): Addressed the board about their neighborhood flooding issues that have affected their homes located in Webster Groves, in Dec 2015 and April 2017. Mr. and
Mrs. Teepe shared their concerns with the Board and mentioned they have asked MSD to inspect
their properties on several occasions only to be told that it was not an MSD problem. Mrs. Teepe asked for the Board’s assistance in having the properties re-inspected to prevent further flooding in
the future and damage to their property.
In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Teepe, passed out images of the flood and shared photos of their homes,
the damage and the surrounding homes that were impacted. Mr. and Mrs. Teepe were joined in their complaint by two other homeowners who were also
affected by the flooding, David Gray and Martha LaFata, who provided a historical overview of the flooding issues and the work performed in previous years she believes may have been the cause for their floods in 2015 and 2016.
Rich Unverferth, Director of Engineering, informed the Board that they were aware of the situation and would investigate and report to the Board what they discover at the upcoming Committee
Meeting.
The Executive Director also addressed the Board and noted that MSD would also notify the
Webster Groves residents, present this evening, of the upcoming Committee Meeting on October 31, 2017, so that they may also be present to attend. In addition, the Executive Director indicated
