The committee approved the minutes from the May 11, 2010 Finance Committee Mr. Randy Hayman, with assistance from Brent Franzel of Cardinal Point Partners, LLC, the District s Federal Lobbyist updated the Committee with Congress activities that have taken place about Build America Bonds, access to District s representatives. Mr. Hayman asked that the Committee consider renewing the last option year of the current contract with Cardinal Point Partners, LLC, as they are able to keep the District s needs in front of Congress as well as access to our representatives, and is item #50 on tonight s agenda for consideration.

3 Mrs. Edwards reported on the Casualty Insurance premiums for FY2011 and indicated that District s Insurance Brokerage service was able to secure comparable coverage with a reduction of cost from prior year. The proposed insurance renewals approved by Finance Committee with unanimous consent are items #45 48 on tonight s agenda. Mr. Tyminski reported on the District s RFP process for Financial Advisor. He indicated that seven proposers responded to RFP and that after review staff is recommending the team of Public Financial Management Inc., and Butcher Mark, LLC be retained to provide general and transactional professional financial advisory services to the District. The introduction of the ordinance is on tonight agenda as item #44. Mrs. Zimmerman gave her report on the current financial condition of the District. There were no significant changes in the Comprehensive Reporting. She continued her discussion and presented the ARC report to the Committee as required by ordinance, and asked that the report be entered into the record. Mr. Tyminski, along with the District s Actuarial consultant Milliman, and the District s Pension Investment Advisor NEPC presented the analysis of consideration of District lowering the plans discount rate from its current 7.5% to 7.0%. Mr. Tyminski, in his presentation reviewed the areas that will impact the MSD Pension Plan; lower future expected investment returns, change in Accounting Rules Governmental Accounting Standards Board, large future CIRP program and borrowing by MSD, uncertain economic landscape for the USA. Mike Zwiener (Milliman), the District s Actuarial consultant concurred with Mr. Tyminski s assessment of the future landscape of potential reduction in Discount Rate Assumption and indicated that this reduction would allow for portfolio allocations with less expected volatility. Mr. Dion Stevens (NEPC), the District s Pension Investment consultant also concurred with Mr. Tyminski. Mr. Stevens added that NEPC s expected market returns have declined looking forward and that though in the short run reducing the discount rate and expected rate of return from 7.5% to 7.0% would only reduce current funded status from 83.3% to 79% in 2010, it would allow for portfolio allocations with less expected volatility as well, and a maintain a relatively level funding requirement from year to year. No action on this item was taken by the committee at this meeting. Mr. Ross reported that the Program Management Committee met on June 1, 2010 at 7:30 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Visintainer and Ross. The minutes of the May 4, 2010 meeting were approved. The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion regarding the following items: Items 39 & 40 Easement Acquisition These two agenda items will provide the necessary funding for property acquisition for Capital Improvement Projects. Introduction is being requested prior to the start of the fiscal year to maintain continuous funding of these activities. Staff is scheduled to request adoption of these ordinances at the July Board meeting after the start of Fiscal Year In response to questions by the Committee, staff indicated that the ordinance language allows the purchase of property from this appropriation if needed. However, any property purchases will need to be brought to the Board for approval.

4 Items 41, 42 & 43 Inflow/Infiltration Assessments and Watershed Facility Planning This is the fourth year of a four-year solicitation with an option for two additional years if needed. These resources support the development of the Long Term Control Plan and the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Plan, which will layout how the District plans to address its collection system regulatory issues over the next decades. These resources also provide overall asset management information. Staff reviewed the activities to be completed next year under these contract amendments. Staff also reviewed the past performance of these firms. Finally, staff reviewed the full-time equivalents and the number of personnel involved in the execution of next year s efforts. In response to several questions by the Committee members, staff reviewed the basis for the need for these services. In FY2008, the District contracted for these services for an estimated period of four years with two additional option years. Each year was subject to approval and appropriation of funds by the Board. A business analysis completed prior to Fiscal Year 2008 for these services estimated that the resources needed to complete a multi-decade plan to address known regulatory issues would require four times the resources needed to maintain an ongoing plan once it was developed. It was determined at the time that contracting for these resources during this period was the most cost-effective approach. Staff further explained that all of these activities would eventually be performed with in-house resources or in-house resources supplemented by contracted resources. Over the past four years, the District has moved primarily contracted resources in-house, including flow metering and long term stormwater planning. Additionally, basic stormwater services have also been started in-house. This year the District will determine the best way to continue with these services as part of the Fiscal Year 2012 budget and present this analysis for Board approval. The Committee found this schedule acceptable. The Committee asked questions about the level of oversight performed by the District for these contractors. For the two field services, the District does not provide daily oversight of field activities. Performance is measured by comparing production and costs against industry norms. All field activities result in deliverables to the District which is reviewed. District staff does direct the exact locations where field activities are performed. The Committee asked additional questions regarding exactly how this information was used in developing projects and repairs and the level of oversight and direction for each contract. Staff indicated that under additional comments these planning activities, if used, are identified for each project. In order to better answer these questions, at the next Committee meeting staff will review the life of a project from inception to construction and concentrate on the role and value these contracted services provide in addressing the District s regulatory issues. The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 a.m. (Mr. Berry joins the meeting via phone) The Executive Director reported that the District s Charter requires that a Plan Amendment Commission be created every ten years for the purpose of review the Charter for potential revisions. For the past year, a commission of 12 citizens from St. Louis City and County has been in place and has reviewed the District s Plan from cover to cover. Each

5 Trustee has been given a hard copy of the commission report for their review. At the July Board meeting, we expect Ms. Darnetta Clinkscale, the commission chairperson, to come and give a brief report to the Board outlining the commission s process and findings. The findings of the commission will be posted to the District s website for the public to review. This coming January, five terms will end on the District s Rate Commission. All changes in District user fees are subject to review of a fifteen-member commission. The Board of Trustees appoints organizations from the community to the Rate Commission and the organizations, in turn, appoint delegates to the hear rate cases. To provide for the commission s organization selection process, the staff has started the process of soliciting interest from the community. The five member organizations that have expiring terms include: Consolidated School Districts, The Council of Construction Consumers, The Missouri Botanical Garden, The Human Development Corporation, and the League of Women Voters. Interested organizations are asked to send a letter expressing interest to the District offices to the attention of Pam Bell. In the next few months, a committee of the Board will interview prospective commission organizations. The decision of which organizations will fill expiring terms will be taken up by the full Board after the interview process. Mr. Moore, the Business Agent for AFSME Council #72, addressed the Board and asked that the wage increase for the promotional steps be retained. He felt that when an employee entered a training program an agreement was entered into that assured the employee of upward mobility for the successful completion of the program. In the package on the table he felt that the District is refusing to honor their portion of the agreement. He concluded by thanking the District for implementing a training and advancement program and urged the District to live up to their commitment. Mr. Michael Murphy, Business Agent for SEIU Local 1, addressed the Board and concurred with Mr. Moore s position. He noted that he can understand the freezing of wages for an employee that has reached the top of their scale or are receiving a market rate of pay. He did not understand why wages of employees in a training program are being frozen. He felt that those employees in a training program should receive a step increase commensurate with the terms when they started the training program. He noted that about 61 employees or 6% of the workforce fall into this category. CONSENT AGENDA Mr. Visintainer requested that Proposed Ordinance No be voted on separately. ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORD.
