Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting
November 18, 2021


Board Action:
  • Consent agenda items (except #1,2, & 3) were passed unanimously by a roll call vote.
  • #8-(21-1073) There was a question on the disparity between the bid and the estimate for the item. Executive Director Perkovich explained that it was a more complicated bid because of its location at the executive airport. This resulted in fewer bids being submitted.
  • #24-(21-1065) There was a brief discussion related to the increase in funding for tree saplings. Commissioner Davis emphasized that this project was important to the work on climate change and the environment. Several commissioners asked for cost per tree. ED Perkovich reported cost was 50 cents per sapling which will fund 8,000 more trees. 
  • #31-(21-1057) asked to extend the collective bargaining agreement to December 31, 2021. Commissioner Davis stated that he supported the unions but asked how much more time would be needed for negotiating the contracts. Director Perkovich assured the board that the negotiations would be wrapped up by the end of the year and there would be no further need for extensions.
  • Ordinances 2 & 3 were passed unanimously by roll call vote. R21-003 vacates the Right of Way for the Flood Control Project in Ford Heights. UC21-001 authorizes an amendment of the User Charge Ordinance of the MWRD.

Deferred item:
 
  • #1 (021-015) -Authority to amend the sunset provision of Ordinance 020-003 to extend expiration date from Dec. 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 for Affirmative Action Ordinance. Commissioner Garcia requested this be deferred.

Executive session was requested by Commissioner Spyropoulos to discuss minutes of the meeting that are closed to the public. Time of session: 14 minutes.

Commissioner Corral Sepulveda requested a list of MWRD janitorial positions. Commissioner Davis asked for same information. President Steele reminded Board that any information requested is always shared with the entire board.
