Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting
May 5, 2022 Commission McGowan opened the meeting by calling for the deletion of the proposed amendment to the Affirmative Action Ordinance without discussion until the Board holds a Study Session on the recent Disparity Report. No date has been set. All nine commissioners voted to delete without discussion. Agenda Item #1 022-006.) Only two other items were pulled for discussion. Both because the market rate for chemicals, in this case Sodium Hypochlorite and Magnesium Chloride, is widely fluctuating and the vendors do not want to commit to more than a year’s rate. Hence, they will have the opportunity to rebid the rate for year two of the contract. After an explanation that during each contract year, the rate would remain the same regardless of market conditions, the items were returned to the agenda. (Agenda Items #13 22-0397 and #17 22-0425.) All agenda items were approved with the exception of Item #1 above and two others that were deleted by the Executive Director without discussion. There were no Stormwater Management contracts on the agenda. No Executive Session was held and no New Business was offered Observer: Diane Edmundson Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting
April 21, 2022 At the prior meeting, Commissioners said a study session on a comprehensive study on the MWRD’s land use is needed in order to evaluate some proposals for leasing MWRD parcels. At this meeting, the need for a study session on and a supplement to the Disparity Study was highlighted, and a proposed amendment to the Affirmative Action Ordinance was deferred. President Steele ended the meeting urging Commissioners to coordinate their calendars so separate study sessions on each could be held very soon. Proposed amendment to the Affirmative Action Ordinance to revise Appendix D to prohibit a prime contractor from utilizing its status as a Minority-owned Business Enterprise (MBE), Woman-owned Business Enterprise (WBE), or Small Business Enterprise (SBE) toward fulfillment of participation goals.

Among those was the issuance of a purchase order and an amendment to the agreement with Cook County authorizing the CC Office of the Independent Inspector General to serve as the MWRD’s IG for an additional one-year period at an amount not to exceed $600,000.
