Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Board Meeting -  September 1, 2016

​Significant Decisions Made:

Resource Recovery Ordinance Approved (Agenda Item 16-010B): 
  • To provide for the recovery and beneficial reuse of resources admitted to the Water Reclamation plants.
  • Will allow MWRD to accept certain deliveries by truck or rail of high strength liquid waste, vegetative material, and other recovered resources to maximize the beneficial reuse of recovered resources for the production of renewable energy. 
  • Will allow for the recovery and resale of valuable resources, to reduce greenhouse gases, to promote a more sustainable society, and to assist or enhance treatment operation. 
  • Ordinance approved as amended. Action had been deferred from the August 4 board meeting.

Health Plan Authorized (Agenda Item 16-0888):
  • Voted to authorize an agreement for a contract with UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company
  • To provide a fully-insured group Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) Plan
  • For Medicare-eligible retirees
  • A three year contract - Effective January 1, 2017-December 31, 2019. 

Major items discussed:

Leasing of space in 101-111 East Erie Street Building (Agenda Item 16-0906):
  • Will begin to advertise for a contract for public bids for a 39- year lease
  • Leased space will be on portions of the ground floor and outdoor plaza consisting of approximately 10,751 sq. ft..
  • The initial bid will be for $45,000.
  • Action deferred as Commissioner Bradford wanted more information regarding the terms of the lease. 

Cal-Sag Channel Swimming Policies - Now that swimming is allowed in the Cal-Sag Channel, Commissioners thought that new policies should be created to allow for the safety of swimmers in an area that also has barges.

Other item of note:
Public speakers were given time to speak at the beginning of the meeting and when the board reconvened after a 5 minute break.
