Chairwoman Sheffield opened the meeting pursuant to notice and call. read. Journal of the meeting of September 11, 1997 (1279th) was presented and Mr. Sullivan felt that the journal for the September meeting did not accurately reflect his comments as to the location of the 10 projects included in the proposed rate increase. n the journal, it appears that he is indicating that he does not know the location of the projects, when he actually indicated he has not been provided with the rationale for the location of said projects. He requested that the minutes be amended. Motion made by Mr. Siscel, seconded by Ms. Seward, that the first sentence in the first paragraph of Mr. Sullivan's comments in the September journal, be amended to read: "Mr. Sullivan addressed the Board and noted that he has not been provided with the rationale for the location of the 10 projects included in the proposed rate increase".

2 Motion passed - 4 s, no nays, 1 abstention. Motion made by Mr. Siscel, seconded by Ms. Seward, that the journal of September 11,1997 (1279th) be approved, as amended. Motion passed - 4 s, no nays, 1 abstention. Ms. Sheffield abstained because she wasn't present at the last meeting. Mr. Williams had not yet arrived. Ms. Karyn Molnar, a partner in the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick addressed the Board and presented the District's financial statements, noting that she had reported on these statements to the Audit Committee and discussed the management letter with the Audit Committee and the Finance Committee. She concluded by noting that the statements are fairly presented. Ms. Sheffield requested that Ms. Molnar elaborate on the audit comment in the management letter. Ms. Molnar indicated that at three points during the year the District's investments in certain banking institutions were not 100 percent collateralized pursuant to the accounting requirements. She further noted that the District detected these under-collateralizations and requested that the banks correct them. The concern noted in this comment relates to the fact that the District needs to reconcile its collateral on a more frequent basis than its current monthly process. Mr. Sullivan noted that the auditors review the financial statements, but questioned if they perform any procedures regarding compliance with state law, such as the Sunshine Law and the accuracy of the District's minutes (journals). Ms. Molnar indicated that the scope of their audit related to the financial aspects of the District and the review for compliance with appropriate state and federal laws centered on financial compliance. Mr. Sullivan questioned if the auditors had ever circulated questionnaires to the employees to help uncover operational problems. Ms. Molnar indicated that the auditors keep abreast of the District's operations by monitoring the newspapers, speaking with management and interfacing with various employees. Mr. Sullivan questioned how thoroughly the auditors test the system of monitoring industrial users. Ms. Molnar noted that the auditor's function was to determine that an adequate system is in place to perform the monitoring, but that the auditor is not required to make sure that the District is making the right reports. Mr. Williams had arrived Ms. Seward reported on the Audit Committee meeting held on October 1, Four advisors to the Audit Committee were welcomed and introduced to the committee and staff. They are The Honorable James Brasfield, Mr. Earl Dille, Ms. Estelle Davidson-Bruce and Mr. Paul Wentzien.

3 Karen Molnar of KPMG Peat Marwick presented the annual audit report and financial statements. The fourth draft of the request for proposal (RFP) for a management audit of the District was reviewed. The RFP will be mailed to approximately 20 public accounting and management audit firms by.october 17. A pre-proposai conference for. interested audit firms is scheduled for October 27 and the proposals are due November 14. The next committee meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 19, 1997 at 2:00 P.M. The primary purpose of the meeting will be to review the proposals and select those firms with the best proposals. These firms will then be asked to meet with the Audit Committee to discuss their proposals Ms. Finn reported on the Finance Committee meeting held on September 30, The Secretary-Treasurer submitted the mission and investment policy for the District's investments. The committee approved the monthly treasury report. The committee reviewed the management letter comment with Ms. Karyn Molnar, Engagement Partner of the District's external auditor, KPMG Peat Marwick. The committee reviewed the District's investment asset allocation for the employees' Pension Plan. The committee approved a change for an investment option in the Deferred Compensation Plan. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 4, at 1:00 P.M. Mr. Williams reported on the MBEA/VBE Committee meeting held on Tuesday, October 7, The staff reported on DBE participation in the contracts awarded at the September 11 Board meeting and on those contracts which are on tonight's agenda. An analysis of the District's work force, the ethnic make-up of the metropolitan St. Louis area labor force, the District's turnover statistics, and the District's

4 operational and administrative position requirements was presented as background information to assist in improving efforts to recruit minorities and women. The District's tuition reimbursement policy is to be reviewed to determine if it can be changed to offer better incentives and motivation to employees to utilize the program to improve their skills to become eligible for promotions. t was reported that three of the last four supervisory positions had been filled by minority employees. The Executive Director is working with department heads to improve the opportunities for hiring and promotion of minorities and women. Mr. Williams also noted that the District now has a vendor handbook to help more minorities and women to do business with the District. Ms. Sheffield inquired if purchasing was the main issue, and Mr. Williams indicated that purchasing was the main issue. Mr. Siscel reported on the meeting of the ntergovernmental Relations Committee held earlier today. On the agenda was discussion of legislation proposed for the 1998 session of the Missouri General Assembly. As we have in the past, the District will be supporting that the state legislature restore funding for water projects, such as stormwater control grants and wastewater improvement project grants. We are hoping the legislature will act more favorably toward a water improvement bond issue to present to the voters in 1998 that would fund such a grant program. Committee members also reviewed the performance of our state legislative services with the current provider, Gaines and Associates. The next meeting of the committee will be November 13, 1997 at 4:00 P.M.. Mr. Koeper presented the report of the Executive Director. He emphasized that the Environmental Protection Agency had just completed the annual audit of the District's environmental compliance efforts. Results of this audit were very satisfactory and the District's program may be entered for an award. This review also included the industrial pretreatment program. He noted to the Board members that the attached report on the life cycle analysis of the Sunset Springs facility is being provided for their review.

5 He commented on the success of the District's seventh Household Hazardous Waste Fair which was conducted on October 4th at the Lemay Treatment Plant and accommodated approximately 2 vehicles. He noted that the District will be sponsoring a commemorative program on the 25th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, on October 25th at 5140 Riverview. This event will be sponsored in conjunction with the Community Access to Environmental Education Program (CATEE). He concluded his presentation by providing an update on the District's Amnesty Program, noting that an additional $1 million has been collected to date, with approximately six weeks to go on this program. Mr. Don Stemmerman, representing St. Alban Roe Catholic Church, addressed the Board in support of proposed Ordinance No on today's agenda. Mr. Tom Sullivan requested that he be mailed a notice of all the committee meetings. Ms. Sheffield responded by noting that all the committee meeting dates have been announced and she would discuss the matter with the Executive Director. Mr. Sullivan next objected to being denied information requested under the Sunshine Law. He noted that he had requested transcripts of electronic media coverage that was in the District's possession. Mr. Byrne explained that these transcripts are not considered records of the District because they are aired publicly. Messrs. Koeper and Briggs also pointed out that the District contracts with a company, ABR, which monitors newscasts and collects them for the District. Anyone could subscribe to this service at a cost of $15.00 per item. This is a copyrighted service and the republication of this information could be considered a violation of that copyright. Mr. Sullivan then contended that he had received similar information in the past, and that the District continues to hide information from the public. Mr. Byrne responded by questioning how could the District hide information from the public when this information was originally aired to the general community via radio and television transmission. Mr. Sullivan questioned several items on the agenda, requesting additional information. Mr. Sullivan read aloud his letter to Mr. Steven Lambright, Vice President of Anheuser-Busch delineating his objection to the $2.00 grant Anheuser-Busch is making to MSD to fund the Community Access to Environmental Education Program (CATEE), which funds are for environmental education programs for youth.

Mr, Schmid responded to questions from the public by noting that the District where feasible tries to compare different methods to refurbish or replace sewers. n situations where the District can use alternative methods, a bid process is employed. 14

15 However, in a case where the sewer needs to be lined using the cured-in-place process the EPA noncompetitive negotiated procedures are used.
