Ordinance No. 15962 – Kingsland Sanitary Storage Facility – Staff discussed this unplanned supplemental

in property acquisition for the construction of monitoring manholes.

awarded to reduce combined sewer overflows to the Mississippi River per the Consent Decree. Staff provided details
of the grant being awarded to Fresh Coast Capital, LLC representing Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club for various
volume reducing improvements.

funding for staff to acquire necessary property rights to construct combined and sanitary sewer projects planned in
fiscal years 2023 and 2024. Staff estimates approximately 200 easements will be required.
Ordinance No. 15970 – Easement Condemnation Request. Staff made a brief presentation on the status of the
easement acquisition for the Black Creek – Haddington Court Relief Sewer project. A total of 35 easements are
necessary on this critical multi-phase project. Eight (8) easements have been acquired with 27 remaining, most of
which have been non-responsive or have obtained legal representation. Staff anticipates reaching resolution with
many of the owners and continues to negotiate. Staff is recommending moving forward with condemnation to allow
the project to remain on schedule. The project will remove three (3) sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) and provide for
the elimination of six others with subsequent projects. Removal of these overflows is required by the District’s
Consent Decree.
Ordinance No. 15971 – Staff provided bid and appropriation details for the Coldwater Creek Treatment Plant Repair
project. The project was both above the engineering estimate and the original budget for the project. Staff discussed

Report of the Executive Director: None
Comments by the Public: As noted by Secretary-Treasurer, Tim Snoke, there was one comment received from the
Public.
“Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for reading and considering my comment. I am a homeowner living along the Black Creek -
Haddington Court sewer project.
We were not aware of MSD's request to gain easements from our property until last Friday (8/5/22), when
we received a 60-day notice for MSD's legal action.
Given that we just started to learn about the project, its impacts as well as the extensive permanent and
temporary easements requested from us, we hope we can be allowed extra time to work through this
matter.
We understand and appreciate the public service from MSD. We hope we, as a member of the community,
can have enough time to ensure the project's smooth progression. Thank you again for your consideration
and your kindness.”
Brian Hoelscher, Executive Director and CEO, reported to the Board:
Staff does have record that a regular mail notice was previously sent to this address. We also have on record that
the referenced 60-day notice was sent by certified mail two weeks ago.
As we have previously discussed for all ordinances authorizing staff to proceed with condemnation, staff does not
immediately file for condemnation. Instead, we continue with negotiations until the project schedule requires that we
file for condemnation. This condemnation ordinance, 15970, is currently up for introduction only this evening. I
suggest that the Board consider this ordinance for introduction. Between now and the anticipated adoption next
month, staff will contact this property owner and report back to the Board before this ordinance is considered for
adoption.
Trustee Fehr asked if the plan would offer the homeowner more time.
Brian Hoelscher responded by saying he thinks that answer will come out of discussion with them, see where they
stand and if more time is needed. He said there will be a report for the Board in the Program Management Committee
Meeting on August 31, 2022.
Submission of Public Hearing Report: None.
The Secretary-Treasurer addressed the Board: The Secretary-Treasurer asked the Trustees if they would like to
pull any items for a separate vote within the Consent Agenda. Hearing None, Mr. Snoke then moved forward with the
voting for Adoption of Agenda Item Numbers 11 through 29.
