2 read. Journal of the meeting of October 1, 1998 (1293rd) was presented and Motion made by Ms. Sheffield, seconded by Ms. Seward, that same be approved as read. No discussion. Motion passed - 5 s, no nays. Mr. Williams commented that the District met with the residents from north St. Louis who were impacted by the heavy rains during the month of July, and the District is still in the process of working with FEMA to obtain relief for these residents. Mr. Reginald Harris commented that the people of the north side need help. Mr. Stevens noted that the District's financial statements and management letter from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP are available and that a copy has been provided to each of the Board members. Ms. Seward reported on the progress of the Audit Committee, noting that a draft of the audit has been presented and the committee would be reviewing this draft prior to making the document public. Ms. Finn reported that the Finance Committee met pursuant to notice and call on September 11 and October 2. The Committee recommends retention of nvesco as the international funds manager. The Committee also recommends that we change the value manager from Fox to Sanford Bernstein due to a change in management structure at Fox. The Committee received a report from Llama Securities and dealt with other routine treasury matters.

3 Mr. Reginald Harris approached the Board and implored the Board to do something for the residents of the north side who suffered damage in the July floods. He emphasized that many of these residents do not have heat and winter is fast approaching. He concluded by indicating that the residents of the north side would be suing MSD to try to obtain compensation for their damages. Mr. Williams reported on the MBEA^/BE Committee meetings held on September 28 and October 5. At these meetings the District finalized the plans for a series of Diversity Breakfast meetings. People who do business with the District will be divided into three categories: vendors, engineers and consultants, and contractors. The meeting with the engineers and consultants is scheduled for October 29, The meeting with the contractors is scheduled for October 30, 1998, and the meeting with the vendors will be held sometime in November or December. Mr. Etwert provided the report of the Executive Director, noting that the District will be sponsoring a Household Hazardous Waste Collection event on October 17, 1998 at the Arena; the time of this event will be 8:30 A. M. to 3:30 P.M. and is designed to target City residents. He also noted that the District received an award for the Bissell Point secondary treatment facility from the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and called upon Mr. Wieting to further comment on the award. Mr. Wieting noted that the District received the award for the Bissell Point Wastewater Treatment Plant in the large secondary category, that this award was based on extensive national competition, and that the District won for exceptional operation and maintenance of that facility. Mr. Williams called upon Mr. Byrne to address the legal aspects of the flooding problems in north St. Louis. Mr. Byrne explained that the District does not have liability for this flooding, because it was an act of God where 2 inches of rain fell in a 20 minute period (a rate of 6 inches per hour). He further explained that this problem is similar to that experienced in the Grand & Bates area several years ago, and that the District is not able to reimburse for this type of damages where it does not have legal liability. He contrasted these problems to those that are reimbursed under the sewer backup program where the District

4 reimburses residents for backups that result from blocked mains. He noted that the District is exploring options for this type of problem and indicated that flood insurance is available through FEMA at a reasonable cost. Mr. Byrne further noted that the District is exploring various technical options to rectify the problems. Mr. Williams emphasized that the District is not giving up on the north side and is doing whatever it can for the residents. Ms. Seward indicated that the District Trustees need to proactively move forward with FEMA options and in the years to come consider setting aside dollars for hardship cases similar to that done by other utilities. Mr. Tom Sullivan addressed the Board and disagreed with the District's position on aid to the north side, citing a precedence set by the City Water Department during a recent water main break. Mr. Sullivan questioned a number of proposed ordinances on the agenda, numbered 12-99, 13-99, 51-99, 54-99, 55-99, and Mr. Sullivan concluded by questioning when the management audit would be released. Ms. Seward noted that the Board has just received a draft copy of the management audit and will be looking to release the entire document in late November or early December. Ms. Debbie Merkel addressed the Board and thanked MSD, particularly Mr. Badgley and Mr. Unverferth, for their assistance and follow-through. She then addressed a series of technical problems addressed in the report that was provided at the previous Board meeting. Mr. Unverferth responded to these issues and explained the various technical solutions that the District was seeking. Mr. Williams questioned if Ms. Merkel had seen any improvement. Ms. Merkel responded that the residents of the area have seen a lot of activity from MSD, however, it was too early to tell if there was improvement because we have not experienced a heavy enough rainfall to test the solutions. REPORT OF PUBLC NTEREST HEARNG FOR SUBDSTRCT NO (HOMEWARD & STARLT) ; Report of Public nterest Hearing for Subdistrict No (Homeward & Starlit) dated September 30, 1998, signed by Tom Washeck, Civil Engineer, addressed to the Board of Trustees (Subdistrict Report Book 34, Page 3), was presented and read. Mr. Butchko presented the attached report on the Homeward & Starlit Subdistrict, noting that the property owners have voted to discontinue going forward with this subdistrict.

5 Ms. Sheffield questioned if any of these homeowners have been cited by the County Health Department for environmental health problems. Mr. Butchko indicated that no one has been cited. Motion made by Ms. Seward, seconded by Ms. Sheffield, that the report be received and filed. No discussion. Motion passed - 4 s, no nays. Dr. Barnhart left the meeting temporarily.

FOR THE CONSTRUCTON OF SANTARY SEWERS N 1-70 TO LUCAS & HUNT SANTARY RELEF PHASE (NFRASTRUCTURE REPAR) 99037, N THE CTY OF JENNNGS, MSSOUR. ' Proposed Ordinance No was presented and read, authorizing the Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer on behalf of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District to enter into a contract with Karsten Equipment Co. for the construction of sanitary sewers in 1-70 to Lucas & Hunt Sanitary Relief Phase (nfrastructure Repair) 99037, in the City of Jennings, Missouri. Mr. Butchko stated that this ordinance appropriates funds for the construction of approximately 1,484 lineal feet of 18 inch diameter sanitary replacement sewers n an area located north of 1-70 and west of Lucas and Hunt Road. This s an infrastructure repair project funded entirely by the District. Karsten Equipment Co. was the lowest of 5 bidders at $1 52, Bids ranged from that low to a high of $349, The MSD estimate was $215, This project will receive plan approval on October 8, 1998 and is funded through the 1999 Maintenance Department operating budget ($205,000.00). There is one property affected by this project and 994 properties benefiting, which is part of the Maline Creek trunk Sewer System. The deteriorated sanitary sewer has partially collapsed and causes sewage to leak to the ground surface during rain events. 12

13 Mr. Williams asked Mr. Butchko to clarify the location of this project. Mr. Butchko indicated that this project is essentially at Norwood Golf Course. Ms. Sheffield questioned if the old sewer would be replaced. Mr. Butchko indicated that the old sewer would actually be removed. Motion made by Ms. Sheffield, seconded by Ms. Finn, that proposed Ordinance No be introduced. Motion passed - 5 s. no nays. Poll taken: C. L. Barnhart C. D. Seward G. J. Sheffield P. P. Finn M.C.Williams NTRODUCTON AND ADOPTON OF PROPOSED ORDNANCE NO APPROPRATNG $375, FROM THE SANTARY REPLACEMENT FUND FOR ENGNEERNG SERVCES FOR A STUDY OF HARLEM BADEN RELEF PHASE (99032); AND AUTHORZNG THE EXECUTVE DRECTOR AND SECRETARY-TREASURER ON BEHALF OF THE METROPOLTAN ST. LOUS SEWER DSTRCT TO ENTER NTO CONTRACT E-908 WTH EARTH TECH, NC. FOR THE AFORESAD ENGNEERNG SERVCES. Proposed Ordinance No was presented and read, appropriating $375,000.00from the Sanitary Replacement Fund for engineering services for a study of Harlem Baden Relief Phase (99032); and authorizing the Executive Director and Secretary- Treasurer on behalf of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District to enter into Contract E- 908 with Earth Tech, nc. for the aforesaid engineering services. Mr. Butchko stated that this ordinance appropriates funds and authorizes the District to enter into a contract with Earth Tech, nc. (formerly Rust Environment and nfrastructure) for a study of recurring flooding areas within the Harlem and Baden watersheds in the City of St. Louis. This study will consist of assembling and reviewing all existing data, and acquiring additional information as necessary to evaluate alternatives and recommending a corrective program. n this process, the consultant will evaluate surface flooding, as well as basement flooding problems, and proposed alternate solutions to the deep tunnel. This study will evaluate each of the problem areas individually. Design of the implementation of the proposed solutions will be addressed under another phase of this project. The proposed contract amount is $375, The staff is asking that this ordinance be introduced and adopted to expedite commencement of the project due to the severity of the problems in the area. The % of MBE on this contract is 14.8% - David Mason and Associates (12.6%) and Tech Services, nc. (2.2%). Mr. Butchko emphasized that this study is needed to provide better modeling for potential solutions in the Harlem Baden area. He again emphasized that this study is seeking solutions other than that of a deep tunnel that would be more costeffective in providing relief to the neighborhoods involved. The potential solutions can 13

14 vary. Mr. Williams emphasized that this ordinance addresses some of the problems experienced on the north side and that the goal of this project is to develop concepts whose solutions would be funded in the next budget cycle. Ms. Sheffield questioned the breadth of the storm event n July. Messrs. Butchko and Etwert responded that the storm impacted the entire metropolitan area. However, the heaviest rainfall was concentrated n an area in north St. Louis County and north St. Louis City and an area in south St. Louis County. This rainfall occurred at the rate of 5 to 6 inches per hour, similar to that experienced n the Kansas City area. Unfortunately, the rainfall n the north County area had already filled the sewers in the City by the time the storm tracked into the City. Ms. Seward questioned if data from prior studies of the Harlem Baden area could be used. Mr. Butchko ndicated that the District could build on the old data, but t had limited modeling. He emphasized that the City attempted to fix this problem in the 1940's with a deep tunnel solution, but t was cost prohibitive at the time. This approach is looking at other than the deep tunnel solution. Mr. Williams noted that at some of the meetings on the north side a summary of the prior studies had been prepared and requested that copies be given to the Board members. Mr. Butchko ndicated that the order of priority would be to look at the Ashland area first, followed by areas that have experienced surface flooding that would prevent emergency vehicle access. Essentially, the District would prioritize areas n the study. Mr. Sheffield questioned what contingency plan was in place if residents would not agree to a buyout. Mr. Butchko indicated that the District would consider a number of alternatives, including buying out certain houses in very low lying areas. Mr. Schmid noted that an alternative option to the buyout would be the one-time payment for a flood easement. Ms. Finn ndicated that the District needs to pursue the FEMA alternative, because this s a flood prone area and these people may need further relief n the future. Ms. Sheffield questioned if people could be denied coverage under FEMA. Mr. Byrne responded that people cannot be denied coverage for prior claims under the FEMA alternative. Ms. Seward ndicated the District needs to explore setting aside money for hardship cases similar to that done by other utilities. She emphasized that this needs to be done within the confines of the law. Mr. Byrne indicated that he would have to explore this issue, but that the FEMA alternative could be a viable option. Dr. Barnhart questioned f work on the first area would commence in January of Mr. Butchko ndicated that this study would provide a concept and we would still need to obtain design drawings. Ms. Finn indicated that a $375,000 payment seemed high for conceptual work. Mr. Butchko ndicated that it is difficult at times to know exactly what we would be getting, but the costs are not out of line due to the extensive modeling work that will be required. Ms. Sheffield questioned how many firms did the District speak to about this project. Mr. Butchko indicated that 3 firms were approached. Ms. Sheffield noted that the solution to the north side problem appears to be a long-term process and she s concerned about further damage these residents could suffer before a feasible solution is attained. Mr. Williams suggested a series of town hall 14

15 meetings to update the residents regarding FEMA insurance. Ms. Sheffield noted that the handling of this type of problem and other acts of God is very extensive and beyond the capacity of the District. She felt that notifying the homeowners, probably by mail, regarding availability of FEMA insurance to cover acts of God may be the best solution.

19 Ms. Sheffield asked Mr. Butchko to expound on Mr. Sullivan's concerns. Mr. Butchko indicated that the District has an in-house survey staff that has a consistent backlog of five weeks' worth of work. Because there is more work than available staff, it wjas cost justified to outsource these services. Additionally, this process s used by the Corps of Engineers. Had the District brought in separate contracts to the Board, it would require approximately 300 separate ordinances. t is felt that this process is most efficient and a detailed accounting by project is maintained.
