Report of the Executive Director: The Executive Director and CEO, Brian Hoelscher, reported to the Board:
Brian Hoelscher addressed the Board to bring them up to date with the Ellendale Neighborhood concerns from the previous meeting. On November 9th, he and Sean Hadley met with approximately 30 residents of the Ellendale Neighborhood for about three hours and gave a presentation that covered much of the concerns the residents were having. They covered topics from the neighborhood placement in the watershed, how their system works, changes to their system over the years, what MSD knows about this summer’s flooding, and how to move forward. The residents asked many questions and expressed concerns and frustrations.
There was no one from the City Administration there, but there was a local City Alderman in attendance. We have been working with the Board of Aldermen and the Public Safety Committee to keep them apprised of the work with

the neighborhood. The central message MSD is giving is the flooding issues aren’t a sewer system issue, they are
a flooding issue and MSD and the City need to work together.
A couple of residents who live in a different part of the subdivision gave more information to confirm the extent of the flooding. Two main things came out of the meeting: there were many questions about the backup insurance and questions about the scheduling for the FEMA funding. MSD committed to get back to their spokesman so he could
distribute that information. In addition, there is one home that is critical to purchase for family health reasons. The home happens to be in the area where MSD is going to do buy outs for a tunnel shaft wastewater project anyway The City has been asked to see what could be done to accelerate the purchase of the property. If this cannot be completed soon, staff may come to the board for that particular property to get it bought out.
Everything learned has been passed along to the City, the City should be getting back to the residents with regards to the schedule on the FEMA monies for other buyouts that become available to them.
Comments by the Public: Chairman Evans announced there was a member of the public present from the Ellendale neighborhood Association, Andrew Schafer.
Mr. Schafer expressed his thanks to the Board and MSD for meeting with the residents of the recently flooded Ellendale Neighborhood, explaining the situation in greater detail and suggested remedies. He had been tough on MSD and thought the residents were being abandoned but sees the efforts of MSD to work though the problems and advocate for the residents.
Submission of Public Hearing Report: None.
The Secretary-Treasurer addressed the Board: The Assistant Secretary-Treasurer asked the Trustees if they would like to pull any items for a separate vote within the Consent Agenda. Hearing None, Mr. Strahlman then moved forward with the voting for Adoption of Agenda Item Numbers 10 through 23.
