Theresa Bellville reported on the current financial condition of the District indicating it continues to be financially stable and current projections indicate the District will be under budget for Fiscal Year The meeting adjourned at 8:47 a.m. The Executive Director reported that I have five items for this evening. First, I refer the Board of Trustees to item number 26 under unfinished business in tonight s agenda. When read for introduction at the last Board meeting, the Board was informed that this agreement was for a Green Infrastructure Project with the Flance Early Childhood Education Center. While this is where the project is located, the agreement is actually with the St. Louis Housing Authority as was shown in the project write-up. The agenda item under Old Business is to amend and adopt this proposed ordinance to show that the agreement is with the St. Louis Housing Authority. Second, item number 46 on tonight s agenda is for the introduction and adoption of an ordinance authorizing a contract and an appropriation for Emergency Repair Number 49 on the Caulk s Creek Force Main. This emergency was identified on October 20. I notified the Board of the situation on October 21 and declared an emergency the same day. The details of this project as well as District initiatives to complete the replacement of this force main were reviewed at the Program Management Committee meeting as reported earlier. The third item is a request by staff that the Board consider designating Friday December 26 as a District Holiday. This topic has been considered by past Boards whenever the day after the Christmas Day holiday falls on a Friday. As I discussed in the Stakeholder s Committee meeting and based on the performance of staff this year, I am recommending at this time that the Board consider by voice vote designating the day after Christmas as a holiday. Next, I would ask that the Director of Operations Jonathon Sprague make the quarterly Regulatory Update. Mr. Sprague presented the Quarterly Regulatory Compliance Report. MSD has seven treatment plants that perform over 1000 compliance measurements each quarter. He stated that during the 3rd Quarter of 2014 there was one violation at the Grand Glaize Treatment Plant. As a result, overall compliance was at 99.99%. The goal is 100% compliant. The goal for emergency response to customer complaints within four hours is 90% and this quarter the response time was 85% due to a 25-year rain event September 9 and 10. There were 47 maintenance related building backups due to grease, root, blockages, or collapsing of mains. This is the 2nd lowest total on record, a good sign that maintenance procedures are providing strong results. He also stated the dry weather maintenance related overflows numbered 52 during this three month period due to forced main overflows, but still below historic averages. There were 110 capacity related backups due to the 25-year rain event this quarter, with 18 inches of rain for the quarter. In the past, this number would have been much higher but the sewer lining program and new tanks have made a positive impact. The number of constructed overflows, which are being removed in accordance with the Consent

6 Decree, is at 143. That s a reduction of 3 overflows. Of the 143 constructed overflows, 62 overflows activated through the three month period due to rain events. MSD s goal for maintenance related backups is no more than 1 per1000 homes (99.9% with no backups). For the quarter, backups were only at.44 per 1000 homes. There used to be a goal of 4 or less maintenance related overflows per 100 miles of pipe. That goal has been lowered to a more challenging 2.5 per 100 miles since we ve been consistently meeting or beating the original goal. The Board expressed its appreciation for all the work that operations does. Finally, Ms. Edwards will make a presentation after Comments from the Public on staff s recommendation to fill the currently vacant Civil service position. Staff will request that the Board of Trustees consider staff s recommendation that Tara Buckner be appointed to the vacant Civil Service position. Motion made by Mr. Faul, seconded by Mr. Yates, affirming December 26, 2014 a District Holiday be adopted. Poll taken: V. Patton aye A. Mandel aye J. Faul aye R. Bonner aye Mr. John Kahrhoff, representative of IBEW Local 1, addressed the Board and stated he was here to talk about minority participation levels on MSD projects. He explained the apprentice program with a 96% graduation rate. He stated that the minority participation is now at a 30% level. Mr. Kahrhoff said that IBEW could provide boots on the ground for all projects regardless of the contractors MWBE status with the state of Missouri. He expressed his concern that percentage of minority goals for contractors do not always translate to minorities being on the job site turning the wrenches. He expresses concern that a 51% minority contactor could win a bid but have no minorities on the job. He would like MSD to consider demanding a boots on the ground participation level. He also presented the Board a list of minority contractors that are AFL-CIO. He reiterated that there are businesses registered with the state as minority owned businesses that do not employ minorities. Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and stated that today s agenda provides a big payday for consulting firms with its $8 million in no bid contracts. He stated the contracts are being rubber stamped by Board members who do not know or care what they are approving. He said the contracts have been questioned more than once from outside auditors. He hopes that the new County Executive will appoint new Trustees that care about the area.

7 Ms. Vicki Edwards addressed the Board and presented the reappointment of Ms. Tara Buckner on the Civil Service Commission. Ms. Buckner served out the unexpired term of Ms. Mavis Thompson when she was appointed Collector for City of St. Louis. Ms. Edwards explained that there were 14 resumes and a committee of Jonathon Sprague, Susan Myers, Darrell Lewis and herself who reviewed them. She stated that there were two that met the criteria. Ms. Buckner was one of them. Ms. Taylor Edwards stated the three cases Ms. Buckner was involved in, that she had done a very good job. She also mentioned that a new advertisement has been placed as one of the other commissioners had asked not to be reappointed. Ms. Edwards asked for consideration of Ms. Buckner s re-appointment. The Chair called for a vote on the re-appointment of Ms. Tara Buckner to serve on the Civil Service Commission. Motion made by Ms. Bonner, seconded by Mr. Faul. Voice vote, all ayes. Motion passed.
