Report of the Executive Director: None
Comments by the Public: Chairman Evans announced there was a member of the public present to speak, Tom Sullivan.
Chairman, Members of the Board, as you know this area experienced unprecedented flooding this summer, created
some extreme hardships. People woke up in the middle of the night with up to six feet of water in their home. Furniture and belongings were destroyed. So were water heaters, furnaces, washers and dryers. Over 300 homes
in University City were condemned. People were no longer allowed to live in these homes. They also lost their vehicles when they became submerged. In just one night people had their lives turned upside down. All because
River des Peres ran over its banks and was out of control. After the water finally subsided, they had to drag all their destroyed things out to the curb for pickup. It took up the entire front yard for some homeowners, and some had to
wait nearly two months for a dump truck to arrive. I never saw anyone from MSD helping.
A Post-Dispatch story in August asked the question - Who is responsible for the areas stormwater? It's no mystery.
The answer can be found in the first sentence of the MSD charter: ‘…provide adequate sewer and drainage facilities within the boundaries herein defined… there is hereby established a metropolitan sewer district...’ MSD has been
ducking and dodging its responsibilities for a long time. It took a lawsuit for federal and state authorities to begin to meet clean water standards. It's no different with stormwater matters, that the District is firmly committed to the Army
Corps of Engineers taking care of flooding problems. As I've been pointing out the mayor of University City, four City Council members and other city officials attended a meeting of the MSD board to plead for help with the overflowing
River des Peres. The year: 1966. All these years later the situation is not only not approved, it just got worse. Record rains in July, notwithstanding. Five or six years ago there was flooding again in University City and again
homeowners were upset and wanted action from MSD; they would be disappointed. Brian Hoelscher spoke to the residents at a meeting. Not only did he say MSD would do nothing, he said it was a residents problem to deal with.
Imagine the fire department operating like the Sewer District. What, your house is on fire? That's your problem, not ours. Good luck.
In 2023, I think the Sewer District needs to get a lot more serious about addressing stormwater flooding issues. That is what the people in this area want and what they will be demanding. But I don't think they are ready to approve any

stormwater charges just yet. You got quite a way to go in rebuilding trust. Thank you for listening my comments.
