Board of Directors Meeting Summary

The following action items passed by majority vote during the August meeting.

1. Electrical Engineering Services for
Treatment Plants and Pump Station Power Systems

A Master Service Agreement with Hazen & Sawyer, CE Power Solutions, and Wells Engineering was awarded per the rate schedules outlined in their respective proposals.

The MSA allows for an annual maximum of 1200 hours for each firm with an option to renew two (2) additional one-year terms given SD1 is satisfied with the services.

SD1 operates and maintains three regional treatment plants, 121 pump stations, 15 flood pump stations, and six package treatment plants. These facilities contain multiple power systems that deal with the transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power, as well as numerous electric motors and control systems. On occasion SD1 electricians and maintenance personnel must consult with an electrical engineer to evaluate equipment for the asset management program or to troubleshoot electrical equipment in the field. This contract is intended to supplement electrical engineering expertise beyond staff as well as assist with the on-going preventative maintenance program and condition assessment of our treatment plant and pump station equipment.

.

The MSA arrangement will allow for a continued competitive environment for future electrical engineering work. The three selected consultants shall perform these services over a 12-month duration following the award of a contract.

SD1 Goals Advanced:
Operational Efficiency & Resiliency, Optimal Infrastructure Management

2. State Route 9 Storm Sewer Improvements

The SD1 Board of Directors authorized SD1 enter into an agreement with KYTC to construct the KYTC State Route 9 Storm Sewer Improvements at an estimated total cost of $1,772,578.13. The agreement provides full reimbursement for all project costs to SD1 from KYTC.

Over the last several years KYTC has been working on the realignment of KY State Route 9 in the City of Newport. The State Route 9 realignment design included a separate storm sewer which was paid for by KYTC. This new storm sewer created a unique opportunity for SD1 to partner with KYTC to upsize the proposed storm sewer for future sewer separation in the area to offload storm water from the combined sewer system. SD1 staff worked early-on with KYTC officials to ensure that storm water flows from the new road realignment project would not discharge through SD1’s combined sewer system but would discharge through a separate storm water system to be installed through the flood levee directly into the Licking River, thereby eliminating storm runoff from the combined sewer system.

KYTC has requested that SD1 bid and manage the construction of the storm pipe that will extend through the flood levee at the SD1 4th Street Pump Station. This is the final phase of the project, effectively completing the storm sewer separation for the KY State 9 project area. Since the pipe will be owned and maintained by SD1 upon completion of construction it is essential the pipe be constructed to SD1 and USACE specifications. Logically in made sense for SD1 to bid, manage, and inspect the construction of this project. Construction is planned to start early June 2021 and should take no more than four months to complete.

SD1 Goals Advanced:
Environmental Stewardship, Operational Efficiency & Resiliency,
Stakeholder Support

3. Reservation of Sanitary Sewer Capacity

Six new requests for reservation of sanitary sewer capacity were approved at the August 2020 meeting.

The reservation of capacity program provides SD1 with knowledge of development, an opportunity to assess system capacity, track committed capacity in balance with system operations and capital improvements, and provide developers assurance of capacity. This process benefits the communities served by SD1 by providing planning tools for economic vitality.

SD1 Goals Advanced:

Customer Satisfaction, Environmental Stewardship, Stakeholder Support,

Financial Viability, Optimal Infrastructure Management

4. Disposal of Surplus Vehicles
The SD1 Board of Directors authorized staff to dispose of surplus public property through sale by on-line public auction during fiscal year 2021.

In April 2020, as part of the on-going SD1 LEAN initiatives, the Asset Management Department conducted a Vehicle Right-Sizing Evaluation of the District’s current fleet.
Per policy, SD1 may sell or otherwise dispose of any property which is not needed or has become unsuitable for public use, or which would be suitable, consistent with the public interest, for some other use

The vehicles being disposed of were originally purchased to enable SD1 crews to perform their normal course of duties. Due to the vehicles’ age, condition, cost of ownership, and/or current low utilization rates, it is not in SD1’s best interest to continue to own these assets.

SD1 Goals Advanced:
Financial Viability, Operational Efficiency & Resiliency

5. 2019 Series-A Refunding Bond Resolutions

The SD1 Board of Director’s authorized the refund (refinance) of two existing bond issues allowing SD1 to reduce gross interest expense.

The payment of the new refunded Bonds, in terms of years, is the same as the original bonds, set to terminate in the year 2041.

In addition to the savings over the life of the bonds on Interest Expense, SD1 will be able to reduce the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Fund (DSRF) by approximately $1.5 million due to this refunding.

SD1 Goals Advanced:

Financial Viability

6. Storm Water Public Cost-Share
The SD1 Public Cost-share Program provides financial assistance to co-permittees for the installation of new storm water infrastructure that addresses drainage issues associated with a dedicated and accepted right-of-way, impacting a right-of-way, or caused by or related to public infrastructure drainage. Upon satisfactory completion of the project, SD1 assumes ownership of the new infrastructure and reimburses the Co-Permittee a percentage of the project cost. Currently, the SD1 reimbursement percentage is set at 50% of the cost.

One new request in the City of Villa Hills was approved during the August 2020 Board of Directors Meeting.

SD1 Goals Advanced:
Customer Satisfaction, Stakeholder Engagement, Financial Viability

SD1 Completes Critical Sanitary Sewer Project in Elsmere

Sanitation District No. 1 recently completed a sanitary sewer replacement project in Kenton County, eliminating sanitary sewer overflows and increasing sewer capacity for future growth and development in the region.

SD1 installed approximately 1.5 miles of sewer pipe ranging from 18 inches to 24 inches along Bullock Pen Creek and an unnamed tributary in the wooded area south of Oxford Court to Eastern Avenue and East Covered Bridge Drive.

The $4.89 million project provides vital capacity needs to the area’s sanitary sewer system, conveying sewage from Elsmere, Florence and other areas to SD1’s Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

“The Elsmere Corridor Sewer Project is one of the most important infrastructure projects to be completed in Elsmere,” said Matthew Dowling, Elsmere city administrator. “This sewer project creates an opportunity for industrial growth that can produce a massive positive economic impact on not only Elsmere but the entire Northern Kentucky region.”

The work is part of SD1’s Clean H2O40 program, which includes a commitment to completely eliminating typical-year sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) in the region by 2040.

Prior to the Elsmere Corridor Sewer Project, heavy rain permeated the area’s aging pipes, overwhelming the sewer system and causing raw sewage to spill into the surrounding environment. SD1 estimates the system upgrades will eliminate at least 2 million gallons of typical-year SSOs, improving water quality and reducing the risk to public health.

“Generations will benefit from not only the great economic potential of this project but also the positive environmental impact,” Dowling said. “This future growth would not be possible without the investment and commitment from SD1.”

Moving to Microsoft - Update

We continue to move live and archive email from Google over to Microsoft 365 (M365) and Barracuda, respectively. We have several "beta testers" who have volunteered to try out M365 and provide feedback. Beta testers have generally provided favorable feedback on the new system.

While M365 is a different system, there are also many similarities between the two email systems and general email concepts apply. A major difference, however, would be that Google provides "tags" as a way to organize emails. A single email can have one or more tags that you attach to it. M365 email has the concept of folders where an email can belong to only one folder, much like a letter could only be placed in a single physical folder. To ensure the smoothest transition to M365 for all SD1 staff, IT will be providing status reports and user training opportunities throughout the transition process.

Stay Cyber-Safe!

No matter what electronic device you are on, always "Think Before You Click." Or tap! Phones and tablets are not immune from malware and can provide bad guys with access to your personal or financial information. When you are about to click (or tap) on something, ask yourself:

Am I expecting this message or text?
Does the link itself look suspicious?
Does it sound too good to be true?
Is it trying to scare me (such as a threat of jail)?
Is there a sense of urgency (act now or forfeit this prize)?

Just as you shouldn't open your front door to a suspicious character, you shouldn't open suspicious links in an email or text.

To provide training on recognizing malicious emails, IT will be enlisting a service that sends out some fairly obvious SPAM messages and records who clicked the SPAM link. If you click the link, you are presented with a short video to increase your awareness of potentially malicious emails. This process is kept private. No public shaming involved. Remember - think before you click!

Helping Pollinators and the Soil...
and a Great Activity to Do With Kids!

Have you ever thought about taking part of your lawn or garden area and turning it into an oasis for pollinators? This could be a great project to start with kids this fall, planning and prepping an area for the spring. These waystations attract not only Monarchs, but bees, beetles, birds and other butterflies and moths.
Think of the reduced mowing!

The Monarch Watch organization has a checklist of things that need to be done for the area. You can even register your station and receive a certificate. More information:
https://monarchwatch.org/waystations.

A Monarch Waystation is an intentionally-managed garden that provides food and habitat for the struggling Monarch butterfly population. As a rule, a waystation must include at least 2 types of Milkweed, the 'host' plant for Monarchs.

American Meadows published a great article on how to start your own garden, and has lists of flowers, annual and perennial to plant (https://www.americanmeadows.com/blog/2016/06/17/how-to-create-a-monarch-waystation).

List of flowers to consider planting for your monarch waystation garden:

Nectar Plants - Annuals or Biennials

Time to Get Rid of the ROT

Can you believe we are in the second half of the year already? We’re still in the midst of the dog days of summer, but scarecrows and pumpkin spice lattes have already made their appearance in the stores. For Pete’s sake, I have seen countdowns to Christmas already!

With all the hustle and bustle of the approaching holidays, this is the time of the year when staff tend to wind down and find time to clean up their workspace. So, some good housekeeping tips may be in order in your quest to organize your files. It’s time to locate, identify and dispose of Redundant, Obsolete and Transitory (ROT) Records. We already know that 2020 was ROTten, let’s hope for a better 2021!

So, what is ROT? ROT is superfluous content that exists in our filing infrastructure, including SharePoint, LaserFiche and O drive files. Delete content that is not needed for business purposes, compliance purposes, is a duplicate or no longer relevant.

I will walk you through a typical cleanup of ROT. This exercise is a quick win and will allow us to unearth “real” records under a ton of ROT, not to mention space-saving advantages. You can use these techniques when cleaning up your departmental shared drives, your personal drives and the filing cabinets in your work space.

Allow me to reiterate that it is OK to discard ROT - there is no need for RIM approval or completing a destruction certificate. Gather subject-matter experts and review the folder structure as a group.

Clear out the easy ROT first.

This would include files relating to non-business functions such as: Baby shower photos, music, videos, etc.
Empty folders
Redundant/ Duplicate files. Examples of redundant files would include multiple copies of Mark’s conference speech in Word and PDF, and various drafts of the speech. It is likely that only one copy of the final version is necessary to maintain.
Not all duplicates are bad duplicates, but within the same folder structure, they usually have no value. In general, if there are multiple duplicates with Word AND PDF Version, only the most recent Word version should be kept. If final versions (e.g., PDF) are intermingled with drafts, consider creating a “final version” folder, move final version to it and then clean up drafts- it will simplify the ability to find and eliminate versions.
Obsolete can be outdated, “no longer in use”, replaced (superseded) by other information.
Orphaned content: Personal files for staff that have moved on. For example, Betty worked in finance as accounts payable manager, but Betty left the company in 2002, so the most recent “date accessed” is 2002. Betty had no responsibilities that would require a retention of more than seven years. If staff have not searched the content and all agree Betty’s files have no value, then delete them.
Trivial/transitory records that have very little to no value at all, i.e., lunch invites, personal calendar, and to-do lists.
After initial cleanup, it may be necessary to make a second pass looking for easy ROT to clean up.
If unsure about something, skip it or quarantine it and revisit later.

“Sensitive Data” must be identified when searching out ROT in your files. Typically, sensitive data include:

PHI- protected health information
PII- personally identifiable information
PCI-payment card information

Electronic records containing such information should have security access applied. Hard copies that contain sensitive data go into the shred box. Staff are already discarding ROT in the shred bins. Records recorded on the shred bins are duplicate records that contain PII or confidential information, such as banking account records, customer payments, etc.

Now that ROT is gone, and sensitive data is taken care of, NOW YOU CAN ADDRESS THE REAL “RECORDS."

While cleaning up files, consider improving the naming convention of the files. It is very important that the naming convention makes sense and everyone understands it. See below for some tips of the best way to name your files.

If your team come across files that you feel are misplaced or would make sense in another department’s drive, contact their administrator and discuss transferring the folder into the appropriate drive.

Massive amounts of information can be identified and removed with little effort. That doesn’t mean it can all be deleted, but with a little practice and guidance, the clean-up will benefit everyone.

TIPS: File Naming Conventions

File and folder naming conventions are key to managing well-organized directory and drive structures. Provided are examples of naming conventions; each department may determine its own file naming procedure as long as it is applied consistently.

Benefits of consistent file naming are that files are easily distinguished one from another; file names are easier to browse; and retrieval is easier for all users, not just the file creator.

Keep file name short and relevant (should be able to determine contents without opening file)
If using a date, use the format Year-Month-Day (four-digit year, two-digit month, two-digit day): YYYY-MM-DD or YYY-MM or YYYY-YYYY. Using this method will maintain chronological order.
Include a leading zero for number 0-9. This will maintain the numeric order.
Order the elements in a file name according to the way the file will be retrieved. If records are retrieved according to their date, that element should appear first. If they are retrieved according to their description, that element should appear first. Tip: File names of records relating to recurring events (e.g. meeting minutes, regular periodic reports, budget planning documents) should include both the date and the event.
Avoid descriptive terms regarding format or version (e.g. draft, memo) at the start of file names.
The version number of a document should be indicated in its file name by the use of "v" followed by the version number.
Avoid file names such as “Misc.” No one can determine what’s in a miscellaneous folder until it’s opened. That’s wasted energy and time.

Green Infrastructure Practitioner Certification

Congratulations to three Engineering employees upon receiving new professional credentials associated with their existing certifications by the National Green Infrastructure Certification Program. Craig Frye, Jared Ison and Chris Kaeff are now designated as Green Infrastructure Practitioners (GIP) which is a new professional credential accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The program provides the base-level skill set needed for entry-level workers to properly construct, inspect and maintain green stormwater infrastructure (GI). Designed to meet international best practice standards, NGICP is a tool that can be used to meet a wide range of needs, including professional development for existing GI professionals and as part of a larger workforce development to provide candidates with the technical skills necessary to enter the green workforce and earn a livable wage.

Because the NGICP is designed to meet international best practice standards, the implementation of the program is done with impartiality and objectivity, ensuring that all applicants and certified individuals are treated fairly.

The program requires a minimum 35 hours of training, which includes both class and field work. The exam is maintained and administered by the Water Environment Federation (WEF).

NGICP is a new program that is growing and constantly evolving. There are currently 577 certified Green Infrastructure Practitioners.

Wonderful World of Soil

Whether you have a small lawn or a large lawn, both involve maintenance and soil.

Soil is so much more than just the stuff grass and gardens grow on. It is a habitat for bacteria and worms and grubs, plant roots and animals like moles. In one handful of healthy soil, there are more microorganisms than there are people on earth (NRCS). Studies have been done showing that the microbiome in the dirt, may also be an antidepressant (Schlanger, 2017).

Soil takes a long time to establish, there are slow processes of physical and chemical weathering of bedrock. It could take over 500 years for a mature soil to develop. Erosion and poor agricultural practices can wipe away top soil in moments. 1.4 million earthworms can be found in one acre of cropland! They have a major role in making soil healthy and suitable for growth.

"The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all." - Wendell Berry, author of "The Unsettling of America"

Simple Rules for
Virtual Meeting Etiquette

As COVID-19 continues to spread, virtual meetings have become an essential part of how SD1 maintains productivity and continuity. They’re an easy, cost-effective way to align multiple departments, keep remote employees engaged and work with outside stakeholders.

However, it’s still easy to fall victim to online meeting faux pas. To help you keep your meetings productive and professional, follow these simple rules and tips.

Leave the keyboard alone
Whether you’re diligently taking notes like a model employee or multitasking, the sound of your typing can distract others and prevent you from devoting your full attention to the meeting. Pick up your notebook and pen and take meeting notes instead.

Dress appropriately
One of the nice things about working remotely is the freedom to wear anything to work. It’s the dream, right? Still, there’s no reason to show your co-workers your PJs and bedhead. Take a few minutes to throw on a clean shirt and brush your hair. The best part of actually getting ready while working remotely is that you’ll put yourself in the right headspace to be productive.

Be aware of your surroundings
Your coworkers won’t be able to hear your ideas or take you seriously when there is a pile of dirty clothes in the corner behind you. You also want to avoid looking like you work from the inside of a cave because of bad lighting. Adjust your work setup so that you face a window or are exposed to plenty of light. And make sure your background is professional and work appropriate. This means no beds or messy rooms in the background. And while kids and pets are adorable, your coworkers won’t love having to talk over a screaming child or barking dog. So, be mindful of noise and…

Mute your microphone when you’re not talking
There’s nothing more frustrating than hearing that alien echo noise from conflicting microphones. Save everyone from the ear-splitting madness by joining the meeting while on mute. Unless you live alone, your house is probably pretty noisy these days. Muting your microphone when you’re not speaking gives other participants the ability to chime in and share their thoughts without distraction or frustration.

Speak up
When you enter a small meeting (around two to five people) announce yourself when you join. It can be awkward to hear the “someone-just-joined” ding followed by silence. When you hop on the meeting, introduce yourself and say hi – just make sure not to interrupt someone mid-sentence. Don’t be afraid to project your voice, too. Your team will appreciate being able to hear you without having to strain their ears or turn their volume all the way up.

No food allowed
Try to eat a snack before your virtual meeting. No one wants to see you eating while discussing important business matters. Not only is it distracting to others, you won’t be able to focus on the task at hand because you’ll be worrying about dropping crumbs all over your keyboard.

Stay seated and stay present
It may be tempting to check your inbox or carry on a side conversation during a dull moment in a meeting, but don’t do it. You might miss out on key information or an opportunity to give input. If you’re using your webcam, use attentive body language: sit up straight, don’t make big extraneous movements and don’t let your eyes wander too much.

Follow these simple rules to keep your virtual meeting etiquette on point.

History of Preparedness Month

Preparedness Month began when one of the most horrific events that the United States experienced and the world had ever seen; September 11, 2001. Three years later since that event, the Federal Emergency Management Agency created this holiday in September 2004 as a way to help its citizens be better prepared for emergencies in their homes and communities. FEMA, alongside other organizations such as the American Red Cross and the Department of Home Security, helped launch a Ready Campaign to help people get started in the way of preparedness against national emergencies.

Since its inception, it has widened its basis for preparedness, helping people all over cover topics in all hazard cases such as prevention, protection, response, and recovery efforts. September was a month also chosen because it is the height of hurricane season in the United States. This month gives people the opportunity to learn about safety measures in cases of emergency and helps educate people overall about how to handle disasters when they come. FEMA and other organizations have many resources to help people get started, henceforth why this holiday is also a national holiday approved by the U.S government.

Week 1: September 1-5 -- Make a Plan

Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during and after a disaster. Make sure to update your plan based on the Centers for Disease Control recommendations due to the coronavirus. When making your plan, think of:

How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings
What is my shelter plan
What is my evacuation route
What is my family/household communication plan
Where will I keep the written plan
Go over the plan annually

Week 2: September 6-12 -- Build a Kit

Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home. Don’t forget to consider the unique needs each person or pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. Update your kits and supplies based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control. Things to put in your kit include:

Water (one gallon per person for at least 3 days)
Food (at least a three day supply of non-perishable food)
Battery-powered or hand crank radio
Flashlight
First aid kit
Extra batteries
Mask
Plastic sheeting and duct tape
Moist towelettes, garbage bags and ties
Wrench or pliers (to turnoff utilities)
Manual can opener
Cell phone with charges and backup battery
Medication, eyeglasses
Food for your pet
Cash
Important family documents
Sleeping bag for each person
Complete change of clothing and sturdy shoes
Fire extinguisher
Matches in waterproof container
Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items
Mess kits, paper cups, plates, paper towels and plastic utensils
Paper and pencil
Books, games, puzzles

Week 3: September 13-19 -- Prepare for Disasters
Limit the impacts that disasters have on you and your family. Know the risk of disasters in your area and check your insurance coverage. Learn how to make your home stronger in the face of storms and other common hazards and act fast if you receive a local warning or alert.

Week 4: September 20-26 -- Teach Youth About Preparedness
Talk to your kids about preparing for emergencies and what to do in case you are separated. Reassure them by providing information about how they can get involved.

No-Bake Eclair Cake

No-Bake Eclair Cake is a dessert that is layers of flavor: graham crackers, instant vanilla pudding, whipped topping and topped with chocolate frosting!

Prep Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 20 mins

Servings: 12
Calories: 275kcal

Author: Brandie @ The Country Cook

Ingredients

2 (3.5 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (COOL WHIP) thawed
3 cups milk
2 sleeves graham cracker squares
1 tub chocolate frosting

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the pudding mix, milk and Cool Whip.
In an 9 x 13 baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares on the bottom.
You may have to break them up a bit to get enough crackers to cover the bottom of your dish.
Spread half of the pudding mixture on top of the crackers.
Layer another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
Then layer the other half of the pudding mixture on top of crackers.
Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
Put plastic wrap over dish and put in fridge for about 30 min to an hour to allow pudding to set.
When ready, put the tub of chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften (remove lid and aluminum foil top before microwaving).
Take out and stir frosting. It should be easily spreadable now.
Remove plastic wrap from dish and evenly spread chocolate frosting all over the top layer of graham crackers.
Place plastic wrap over top of dish and put back in fridge.
Now, forget about this dessert until tomorrow. This dessert gets better over time. The graham crackers need time to soften up.
When ready, slice and serve!

Notes

This dessert does not take long to prepare but it definitely needs lots of time to set up. Make this the night before you actually need to serve it. Try using chocolate graham crackers with white chocolate pudding~yum!
