Journal of the meeting of October 10, 1996 (1266th) was presented and read. read. Motion made by Mr. Deeba, seconded by Ms. Carlson, that same be approved as Mr. Williams had not yet arrived. No discussion. Motion passed - 5 s, no nays. Mr. Frank Domeison of the pension consultant firm of Yanni-Bilkey updated the Board on the performance of the employees' Pension Plan for the third quarter of He noted that the assets of the Plan were $79,860,000 and experienced a $1,919,000 increase for the quarter. The Plan's asset allocation was on target at 67 percent equities and 33 percent nonequities. He noted that both for the longer time frame and the current quarter, three managers, Carl Domino & Associates, Mississippi Valley Advisors, and Boatmen's Trust showed good performance. He expressed concern that despite Atalanta Sosonoff's strong showing for the quarter, their performance over longer time frames was below target. Unless there is an appreciable change by

2 year end, Yanni-Bilkey will recommend that this firm be replaced. He concluded by noting that the Plan showed very strong risk adjusted numbers, but tended to lag in the indices based on absolutes. However, these results were consistent with the comparative strategy employed by the Plan. Mr. Williams had arrived. Ms. Sheffield reported on the meeting of the Personnel Committee on October 21, 1996 to review the post-retirement pension benefits as required by Section Two of Ordinance No The committee reviewed with staff current District benefits. These benefits were also compared with other governmental plans. The committee discussed in detail final average compensation calculations and survivor benefits for active and disabled lives. t is the recommendation of the committee that the following benefit adjustments be made at this time: 1. Change final average compensation calculations from five-year average earnings to four-year average earnings. 2. ncrease survivor benefit for active and disabled lives to the greater of 1/2 of the accrued benefit pr 15% of earnings (currently it is 1/2 of accrued benefit or a minimum of $50 a month). These adjustments will continue to bring the District's pension benefits to a more comparable level with other governmental agencies as required by Section of the Plan of the District. The committee recommends passage of proposed Ordinance No on today's agenda, which incorporates these changes to the Pension Plan effective January 1, renewals. The committee also reviewed the District's medical and life insurance coverage Since there is only a slight increase in rates proposed, the committee is recommending that the District continue to utilize MetraHealth for the District's self-insured health plan, and Group Health Plan, nc. as the District's health maintenance organization. Metropolitan Life nsurance Company will continue to provide the District's employee group life insurance, with no increase in cost. The committee is recommending that the District change carriers for the District's stop loss coverage for the District's self-insured health plan to John Alden Life nsurance Co., who submitted the lowest proposal. This change will require passage of proposed Ordinance No on today's agenda, which the committee also recommends.

3 Ms. Carlson reported on the Finance and Audit Committee meetings held on October 24, 1996 and November 12, On October 24, 1996, the committee interviewed two candidates to serve as fixed income managers for the District's Pension Plan. The committee recommends the selection of both ncome Research & Management (RM) and Llama Asset Management. Under this recommendation, RM will manage $20 million and Llama will manage $5 million of assets. On November 12, 1996, the committee interviewed two candidates, Boatmen's & Mercantile, to serve as the custodian/record keeper for the District's Pension and Deferred Compensation Plans. The committee deferred action on providing a recommendation pending the receipt of additional information. The nternal Auditor presented a report entitled "Engineering Department Procurement & nvoice Processing". The Director of Finance updated the committee on the District's collection efforts. The Secretary-Treasurer presented the monthly treasury report. The next meeting is scheduled for November 19, 1996 in the Middle Conference Room where the District's Auditor, KPMG, will present their statistical report and the committee will assess the candidates for the custodial/record keeping search. There was a general discussion amongst the Board members about rescheduling the November 19, 1996 Finance & Audit Committee meeting so that other Board members could attend. Mr. Koeper updated the Board on the Gravois Creek Watershed stormwater meeting and also noted the times and places for the Legislative hearings, which will be held on November 20 and 21, Ms. Sheri Bilderback of the Home Builders Association updated the Board on the efforts of the Home Builders Association, the Regional Commerce & Growth Association and the Missouri Growth Association with regard to their consultant's study of the District's stormwater design criteria. A copy of her comments are attached. B Ms. Seward emphasized that this study needs to be completed by the December Board meeting. Ms. Sheffield indicated that because of the technical nature of the issues, the MSD staff was the appropriate group to discuss their consultant's findings with. Mr. Deeba noted that the Board is committed to going for a final vote at the December meeting and reiterated Ms. Sheffield's point that the MSD staff is the appropriate body to review the consultant's recommendation.

4 Mr. Tom Sullivan indicated that he looked forward to the Board approving the new stormwater regulations, and then expressed concern over a series of proposed ordinances. Mr. Tim Halls, a resident of Rock Hill, and Kennard Whitfield, the Mayor of Rock Hill, addressed the Board about a stormwater problem impacting 30 homes in the City of Rock Hill. Their purpose is to recognize the District's efforts in trying to resolve a stormwater problem, to provide representation for the residents of this area, and to request that the District include this project in the 1998 budget, as is the plan. They noted that during a rainstorm these homeowners are badly flooded due to improperly draining sinkholes and that the District has already made this project a high priority and is projected to be included in the FY budget. Mr. Koeper noted that this is a serious problem impacting 80 acres of drainage and that the District has been working on it for quite some time and it is, indeed, a high priority that will be included in the budget. He indicated that this project will have an estimated cost of $1.4 million. Mr. Deeba noted that the Board had granted a six month deferral of action on the stormwater issue at the request of the Conversion/mplementation Committee. As of this date, the District has not received a formal response from this committee. The end of the six month extension period is effective this meeting. He further noted that no alternative proposals have been brought forward and recommended that the District begin to take action on the stormwater issue and submit it to the voters at the earliest possible date. Ms. Carlson also questioned where the Board is on this issue. Mr. Deeba indicated that the District needs to finalize this issue in the form of an ordinance and it will be necessary to bring it forward for a public hearing. Ms. Sheffield agreed that a report from the Confluence/mplementation Committee would be helpful. Mr. Koeper indicated that he would request that a presentation be made to the Board by members of that committee. Ms. Carlson questioned the need for an additional public hearing. Mr. Koeper explained that by law the District is required to have an additional public hearing once the ordinance has been finalized. Mr. Koeper concluded by summarizing that at the next Board meeting reports will be received from staff regarding the resolution with the Home Builders Association of changes in the proposed regulations, a status report on the proposed stormwater rate, and an update from members of the mplementation Committee on the status of their efforts.

5 REPORT OF PUBLC NTEREST HEARNG FOR SUBDSTRCT NO (TESCORD DRVE SANTARY SEWERS). Report of Public nterest Hearing for Subdistrict No (Tescord Drive Sanitary Sewers) dated November 5, 1996, signed by Patrick L. Brady, Subdistrict Development Engineering, addressed to the Board of Trustees (Subdistrict Report Book 22, Page 2), was presented and read. Mr. Brady addressed the Board and read the attached report. There was a general discussion about the technical characteristics of this subdistrict. and filed. Motion made by Mr. Deeba, seconded by Ms. Sheffield, that the Report be received No discussion. Motion passed 6 s, no nays. NTRODUCTON OF PROPOSED ORDNANCE NO AUTHORZNG AND MPLEMENTNG A $25,000, REFUND FROM THE CLEAN WATER CAPTAL MPROVEMENT TRUST FUND BY CREDTNG PROPERTES THAT WERE BLLED FOR MARCH 1995 SERVCE DURNG APRL 1995, AND TRANSFERRNG $25,000, FROM THE CLEAN WATER CAPTAL MPROVEMENT TRUST FUND TO THE GENERAL FUND OF THE DSTRCT. Proposed Ordinance No was presented and read, authorizing and implementing a $25,000, refund from the Clean Water Capital mprovement Trust Fund by crediting properties that were billed for March 1995 service during April 1995, and transferring $25,000, from the Clean Water Capital mprovement Trust Fund to the General Fund of the District. Mr. Koeper stated that this ordinance authorizes and implements $25,000,000 in credits to MSD customers. The credit results from the collection of Capital mprovement Surcharges in excess of the projected completion costs of the Consent Decree and Compliance Projects. He emphasized that in addition to this refund the District also reduced the capital improvement surcharge rate from an initial $6.50 per month to $2.50 per month in 1992 and sunset the rate in March of 1995, a full 18 months ahead of schedule. Mr. Koeper indicated that the reason for the favorable variance is due to receiving more federal and state grants than anticipated, receiving very favorable competitive bids, and earning more interest than was originally projected. The credit will be $30.12 per single family household. Ms. Seward questioned how this $30.12 credit would impact a residential customer. Mr. Deeba noted it would provide the average residential customer with approximately 2-1/2 months of free service, assuming the average bill is approximately $ Ms. Sheffield emphasized that the District needs to obtain publicity for achieving this milestone. Mr. Briggs indicated that an insert would be sent out with the bills. Motion made by Mr. Deeba, seconded by Ms. Carlson, that proposed Ordinance No be introduced. C. M. Deeba M. C. Williams C. D.

Mr. Butchko stated, that this ordinance appropriates funds for the rehabilitation of approximately 1,087 lineal feet of 60 inch diameter brick sewer using cured-in-place pipe, and 250 lineal feet of 16 inch diameter ductile iron pipe and appurtenances. This project will rehabilitate deteriorating portions of this sewer that is immediately downstream of a previous project identified as Emergency Repair #34, for which funds were appropriated in April of 1996 to prevent potential failure of approximately 2,300 lineal feet upstream of this project. This is a high priority rehabilitation project funded entirely by the District. This contract was negotiated with nsituform Missouri, nc. at $929, This method of repair was selected since it was more cost effective than removal and replacement and other slip lining procedures would reduce hydraulic capacity of a sewer that is already slightly undersized. Ms. Carlson questioned what were the estimates of the other construction methods. Mr. Butchko indicated that cured-in-place pipe is $2.7 million, shotcrete is $2.2 million, a new alignment was $4 million, and a variation of the same alignment would cost $4.3 million. Ms. Carlson queried why the District did not use the shotcrete method. Mr. Butchko indicated that the shotcrete method would reduce the diameter of the sewer by approximately 1 foot, going from a 60 inch to a 48 inch sewer. This could result in an overcharged system. Ms. Carlson commented that it was important for the District from a matter of public perception to provide assurance that the District is receiving competitive prices for these services and that wherever possible the District should competitively bid projects. Mr. Koeper indicated that the District's philosophy is where possible to competitively bid jobs. n the case of nsituform, he felt it was more cost justified to negotiate this contract than to competitively bid it. Mr. Koeper emphasized that this type of project is risky business and that the contractor could lose their entire profit if one of the liners had to be redone. Mr. Siscel also emphasized that wherever possible the District should competitively bid. Mr. Deeba questioned the status of the Japanese method. Mr. Koeper noted that the Japanese method is normally used for pressurized systems, which differs from a sewer system. Ms. Carlson reiterated her point that nsituform is basically a monopoly and that the public needs to know that the District is getting the lowest cost possible. There was a general discussion amongst the Board and staff regarding the cost justification of competitively bidding a project where only one bid would be received. t was agreed that wherever possible the District would try to bid out projects. Mr. Schmid noted that years ago the District did attempt to bid out the cured-in-place liner projects. However, the District often found itself at the mercy of the local company, because the competitors had to pay a franchise fee to the local company. Mr. Deeba noted that there should be some credibility to the nsituform firm, because they have just received the largest single sewer contract the District has placed, the 23

24 Skinker-McCausland Tunnel. Mr. Williams indicated that in matters requiring a degree of expertise, the Board should trust the judgment of it's staff. Mr. Butchko noted that the District follows EPA "negotiated price guidelines". Motion made by Mr. Deeba, seconded by Ms. Sheffield, that proposed Ordinance No be introduced. No discussion.
