ARTICLE 3 -PERMIT REGULATIONS
(a) Requirements. No person or public corporation shall
be permitted to connect to, use or maintain a connection to the
-2-

shall mean that all new construction occurring within the bounda-
ries of the District from and after the effective date of this
ordinance shall be required to have a valid permit from County
Sanitation District No. 5 before it can connect to a sewerage
facility or discharge sewage or industrial waste into a sewerage
facility within the District.
{b) Condition Precedent. No permit shall be valid unless
the real property to be sewered by use of the permit shall be in-
cluded within the boundaries of County Sanitation District No. 5
and within the boundaries of a public corporation authorized to
maintain public sewerage works.
(c) Permit.
(1) The permit shall be in two parts: First
a connection permit for the purpose of authorizing
connection to a District sewerage facility or sewerage
facility subject to a District connection charge as
hereinabove defined under conditions set forth in
said permit; and secondly, a use permit for dis-
charging sewage and industrial wastes into District
sewerage facilities in accordance with the rules,
regulations and ordinances of the District as to
characteristics, quality and quantity of sewage.
(2) The use permit may prescribe requirements
as to a connection manhole, an industrial waste
treatment plant or facility, or pretreatment, all
to insure compliance with the District regulations
as to characteristics, quality and quantity of
sewage and industrial wastes. Any such requirements
shall be set forth in the permit by the General
Manager.
-3-
(3) Surcharges for Use Permit. The District
hereby establishes the quantity of 7,500 cubic feet
of non-residential sewage or industrial waste per
month per acre of territory served as the maximum
allowable effluent to be discharged into the District's
sewerage facilities without the payment of surcharges.
Each user discharging more than 7,500 cubic feet of
non-residential sewage or industrial wastes per
month per acre shall be charged $0.50 per 1,000
cubic feet or any portion of 1,000 cubic feet in
excess of the 7,500 cubic feet maximum. Measure-
ments may be required by the permittee, or permittee's
effluent may be considered equivalent to the water
or some portion of the water (excepting irrigation
water) purchased or used by the permittee. Per-
mittee shall upon demand provide District with his
or its water usage records.
(4) All existing permits shall be modified or
amended to comply with the provisions of this ordi-
nance.
(d) Suspension of Use Permit. The second part of the
permit may be suspended if a permittee is acting in violation of
any provision of the permit or of the ordinances, rules or regu-
lations of the District thirty (30) days after receiving a
formal written notice of such violation and a demand for correc-
tion thereof from the District. Such formal written notice shall
be given only upon recommendation of the General Manager and
approval of the Directors of the District.
No formal written notice of violation shall be
authorized unless the General Manager of the District has first
given an informal written notice of violation to the subject
-4-
permittee at least fifteen (15) days in advance of action by the
Board of Directors.
(e) Violation. For each day or part of a day a permittee
whose permit has been suspended continues to discharge sewage or
industrial wastes into a District sewerage facility in violation
of the permit or of the ordinances, rules or regulations of the
District, he or it shall be charged the sum of ten percent {10%)
of the District connection charge applicable to his or its permit.
The same noticing procedure set forth hereinabove
shall apply for intermittent or sporadic violators; and in lieu
of a suspension of permit, the District Directors may impose a
fine of not less than ten percent {10%) of the District connection
charge applicable to his or its permit per day or any part of a
day for intermittent violations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the violation of
a permittee causes damage to the sewerage facilities of the Dis-
trict, the District shall have the right to charge and collect
for the damages to its facilities caused by such violations by
an action of law.
In all cases a formal notice of violation as herein-
above provided for shall set forth the fine or other charges to
be imposed for violations after the thirty (30) day correction
period.
(f) Procedure to Acquire Permit. An applicant for a
permit or his agent shall make application on a form furnished
by the District or an agent designated to act for the District.
The permit application shall be supplemented by such plans, speci-
fications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment
of the General Manager of the District. The permit fees and
charges as hereinafter described shall be paid to the District
or an agent designated to act for the District.

"Re: Concrete and Steel Water
Pipe Antitrust Cases
"This office, on March 17, 1965, filed in the
United States District Court in San Francisco, on behalf
of the State of California, five civil antitrust actions
against certain manufacturers of concrete and steel pipe
of the type used in water supply systems, irrigation systems,
sewage systems, flood control, and other similar installa-
tions built to handle large quantities of water.
"The complaints, in general, charged that between
1946 and 1964, certain pipe manufacturers named therein as
defendants engaged in an unlawful conspiracy to allocate
territories and to submit collusive and rigged bids to the
State, its political subdivisions and special districts
(hereinafter called California Public End Users), with the
result that the Public End Users paid more for pipe or
projects containing pipe than they would have paid if law-
ful competitive conditions would have prevailed. The alleged
conspiracy affected virtually all substantial sales of pipe
in California.

"Under the antitrust laws, persons who have been
damaged by defendants• conspiracy to unlawfully rig bids
and allocate territories are entitled to sue for the
recovery of three times the damage actually suffered, plus
reasonable attorneys' fees and their costs of suit.
Recovery may be made regardless of whether the damages
are suffered directly or indirectly (i.e., regardless of
whether the pipe acquired was actually purchased by the
Public End User, itself, or by a general contractor per-
forming a construction project).
"Each of the five suits is in the form of a class
action. The State sued on behalf of itself, its political
subdivisions and special districts similarly situated.
"One of the purposes of filing a class action was
to permit this office in a representative capacity to
establish uniform procedures for discovery and pleading in
the initial stages of this litigation. This has been sub-
stantially achieved under the numerous pretrial orders
entered to date. Moreover, the assignment of all "pipe"
cases in the Western United States to one judge has assisted
in this result.
"The class actions were challenged by the defendants.
On January 14, 1966, the Court announced it was upholding
the class actions. At the same time, it set March 31, 1966,
as the time within which California Public End Users must
intervene or be foreclosed from thereafter joining the
actions filed by the State.
"An advantage of a class action is that members of
the class who join the action have the benefit of the class
representative's filing date for the determination of
questions relating to the statute of limitations. The
statute of limitations is of importance with respect to
those transactions for which damages may be claimed.
"Information presently available to us indicates
that during the period of the alleged conspiracies you
acquired substantial quantities of concrete and/or steel
pipe, either by direct purchase or as part of a general
construction project. Although the discovery of additional
facts may affect the validity of your claim, it is our
opinion that from the amount of pipe you apparently acquired,
your interest and that of the State of California require
your prompt action.
"While you may elect to employ private counsel,
this office stands ready to represent you and to associate
your legal representatives as co-counsel and to promptly
file a petition to intervene on your behalf in the five
class actions. Our representation envisions that your legal
representative will assist us with your claim for damages.
His assistance will involve accwnulation of data and prepara-
tion of materials identifying the transactions for which you
will claim damages. Our antitrust unit is prepared to
establish the existence of the conspiracy and its effect
upon your transactions (i.e., the measure of damages that
you suffered). We will be prepared to handle all common
questions of fact and law along with trial preparations,
settlement negotiations, and trial."
F-(2)
·:...,,.!
"It will be necessary for your governing board to
pass the attached resolution in order for this office to
represent you. Since there are specific time limits imposed
upon your intervention in the class actions, if we are to
represent you, it is absolutely necessary that a properly
executed co~~ of this resolution be in our hands prior to
March 1, 1955. The resolution sets forth the terms upon
which this office would represent you.

AUTHORIZING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA
TO CONDUCT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
WHEREAS,
(type your legal name here)
(called Public End User herein) has acquired certain concrete
and steel pipe from certain manufacturers thereof, either directly
or indirectly; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the manufacturers of said pipe
and other persons have acted in violation of the antitrust laws
of the United States and of the State of California and that
Public End User in the acquisition of said pipe may have paid
more for said pipe or projects containing pipe than would have
been paid if lawful competitive conditions had prevailed; and
WHEREAS, the Attorney General of California, acting
in his official capacity to protect and further the legal
interests of the State, its political subdivisions and agencies,
has offered to act as the legal representative of Public End
User in connection with these matters;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA, IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED BY PUBLIC END USER,
acting through its duly constituted governing body, to take
any and all legal action and proceedings that he may deem
appropriate to recover for Public End User such monetary
damages and other compensation to which it may be entitled
under applicable law, federal or state, by reason of legal
injuries received in the course of acquiring said pipe. In
so acting as attorney on behalf of Public End User, the
Attorney General may, among other things:
F-(4)
1. Determine in his discretion what pipe
acquisition transactions by Public End User, if
any, would be brought to suit.
2. Join all or any part of the claims of
Public End User in legal proceedings with all or
any part of similar claims by the State or any
political subdivision or public agency thereof,
in any manner he may deem appropriate.

which are parties to said proceedings, excepting
the amount of attorneys' fees, costs and expenses
determined or approved by the Court; and

"RE:
REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS
OF
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS NOS. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11
CONCRETE AND STEEL PRICE-FIXING AND ANTITRUST SUITS"
"On or about September 1, 1962, certain defendant steel
companies entered a plea of nolo ,contendre in one or more federal
criminal actions relating to violations of the anti-trust laws
regarding price-fixing in the steel and concrete pipe industry
serving the western area of the United States. This plea appar-
ently had the effect of admitting that certain price-fixing had
gone on up to that time.
"Subsequently the Attorney General of the State of Cali-
fornia filed a "class action", which could include all cities and
special districts, as well as the State of California, for the
purpose of seeking recovery of the damages those joining as plain-
tiffs had suffered by reason of said price-fixing. The applicable
statutes allow treble damages plus an award for attorney's fees.
"The Attorney General's office has offered to include
the County Sanitation Districts as plaintiffs and has forwarded a
resolution authorizing that office to represent the Districts and
to associate me as your general counsel on the case. My duties
would be to gather information at this local level for use in the
pending lawsuit. The pro•s and con•s of such action seem to be
as follows:
"PRO: (1) The action is underway; and the principal
work to be done is to determine damages and
to either settle or litigate the amount
thereof.
(2) Each plaintiff would probably be treated
equally as to method of settlement and costs
involved.
G-(1)
"CON: (1) You would have no control over the amount
or basis of settlement.
(2) The exact amount of costs you would bear
are unknown, but, after a telephone call
to the Attorney General's office, are be-
lieved to be quite small.
(3) You would have to pay my fees as local
counsel in addition to other costs. The
amount of these fees would depend upon how
much work I was required to do and cannot
at this time be estimated.
(4) There may be a protracted delay in re-
ceiving money damages by reason of the
involvement with many similar claimants
in one lawsuit.
"As an alternate course of action--and this is being
adopted by some local agencies (e.g., Coastal Municipal Water
District)--staff counsel is retained to enter into a stipulation
with the defendant steel and pipe companies to waive the running
of the statute of limitations, and thereafter, negotiations for
settlement of the damage claims are begun. If a settlement can-
not be reached, a lawsuit is filed to litigate the claims. It
is my understanding that the Metropolitan Water District will
follow this course of procedure. If this course of action is
followed, the matter could be handled on a contingent fee basis;
and I, as your legal counsel, would expect to associate an
attorney experienced in this type of litigation and settlement
negotiation. The usual contingent fee for this type of matter
is one-third of the amount recovered plus any attorney 1 s fees
which the court might award in the event of litigation. The
pro's and con's of such action seem to be as follows:
G-(2)
" PRO ·. ( 1 ) Y 1 ou wou d determine in the event of a
settlement what the amount of and basis
for settlement would be.
(2) A settlement of the claims is probable
in that the defendants have already
indicated a willingness to make some
monetary settlement according to the best
information I have received.
(3) You would probably receive your money sooner.
(4) You would not be involved with numerous other
districts and cities and would control at the
local level the course of the proceedings.
(5) If you recovered nothing, you would not be
out any monetary costs.
"CON: The ultimate fees might be greater in the event of
a substantial recovery than they would be if the
matter were turned over to the Attorney General.
"A third procedure is being advocated by a local firm of
attorneys, that is, to join as many cities and districts in the
Orange County area as possible and to file a suit directly. Fees
would probably be on a contingent basis.
"It is apparent that you have a duty to take some action
in the matter because there were substantial amounts of reinforced
concrete pipe purchased and used in construction by the Districts
during the period 1951 to September 1, 2962. I would be pleased
to represent the Districts under the second alternative plan under
the terms suggested; however, if you choose to turn the matter
over to the Attorney General, I will cooperate in every way as
local counsel to obtain the best recovery possible for you.

"Gentlemen:
"In accordance with the action taken by the special
District No. 3 committee on February 16, 1966 authorizing
preparation of an Engineer's Report for purchase of capacity
by District No. 3 of facilities in District No. 11, and re-
questing a proposal for preparing the report, we are pleased
to submit the following:
"We will :Qrepare an Engineer's Report in accordance
with Section 4748 of the Health and Safety Code of the State
of California for a fee of $750.00.
"The District No. 3 area, bounded on the east by Beach
Boulevard, on the north by Slater Avenue, and on the west by
the common boundary of District No. 3 and 11, and on the south
by Garfield Avenue, has been served by District No. 11 trunk
facilities in accordance with the basic accommodation agreement
between District No. 3 and District No. 11 for the past five
years. It was the intention of the original agreement that
by the expiration date of January 1, 1966 that District No. 3
would make permanent arrangements for disposing of sewage
originating in the area. At the present time, the area is
continuing to be served by District No. 11 trunk facilities
on a six-month carry-over basis to permit District No. 3 to
make permanent arrangements.
"District No. 11 has reported to the District No. 3
committee that in the very near future they will have excess
capacity in the Newland-Delaware Trunk Sewer which is the trunk
presently serving the area in question and they would be
receptive to selling this excess capacity right!. to District
No. 3 in order to provide a permanent method of disposal of
sewage from the area.
"The Engineer's Report will examine the District No. 11
proposal and it will also study other alternatives that may be
available to District No. 3, and subsequently set forth recom-
mendations for district ac1iion."

Nos . 15 and 16 -CONSIDERATION OF RECOVERY OF DAMAGES FROM PIPE
MANUFAC'TURERS : The staff and General Counsel has been aware for
som e time that the State Attorney General has been proceeding against
certain defendants alleg ed to have sold to public agencies and their
contractors concrete and stee l pipe in violation of anti-trust
statutes. We are also aware that the Districts could recover damages
if the alle ged violations are proved but that u p unti l now, no
recommendation has been made to the Boards on this matter pending
a determination as to the c ourse of act ion of the Attorney General .
This matter has now been brought to a head by receipt from the
Attorney General's office of a letter transmitting a suggested
resolution (copy of both enclosed ) for the Boards' consideration
which would, in effe ct, authorize the Attorney General to proceed
for recovery of damages in behalf of the Districts . On February 16 ,
The Board of District No. 11 considered this resolution and decided
to defer action until this Joint Board meeting . In view of the
March 1 deadline established by the Attorney General 's office, on
February 23 the Board of District No . 1 also considered a similar
l
resolution wh ich wou ld, in District No . l's capacity as contracting
a gent for the other Districts, authorize the Attorney General to
proceed in beha lf of all Districts. After discussion, the Directors
of District No . 1 also decided to defer action on t his matter until
all the Boards could joint ly consider a c ourse of action at thi s
meeting .
Since this is basically a l ega l problem, we have asked th e Gen eral
~ Counsel to p repare a memorandum on the rami fica tion s of joining the
action of the Attorney Gen era l and on possible a l ternat e courses of
action . A copy of this l egal mem orandum i s also enclosed fo r
c onsideration under thi s item.
Item No . 16 is consideration of the actual resolution prepared by
the Attorney Genera l if some or all of the Di stricts wish to proceed
with this course of action .
No . 17 -APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PLANT J OB NO .
I-4 -2 : The next regular ly scheduled plant construction project
consists of the installation of additional gas compressors a nd major
piping at both Plants needed to cope with our increasing digester
gas production and to operate our new gas turbine at maximum
effectiveness . Completion of this project is also expected to
eliminate the e .s cape of digester gas which has become a major s ource
of Plant odors . A contract ha s already been awarded for the purchase
of the compressors themselves and the job under c onsideration is
basically a piping contract to install these compressors and to make
major piping revisions and additions . Bids for this job are
scheduled to be opened by the Board of District No. 1 on April 6 and
if satisfactory, the contract will be awarded at the Joint Board
meeting on April 13. Th e engineers have estimated the cost of this
contract to be approximate l y $175,000 .
Nos . 18 and 19 -CLOSEOUT OF PLANT JOB NO . I -6 -2 : This Plant con-
struction contract with the Vinnell Corporation of Alhambra was
satisfactor i l y completed on February 28. In o rder to c lose out this
job, which was for the construction of t h e necessary structures at
b oth Plants to tie both Plants into our new 84 -inch RCP efflu ent l ine
between the Plants, Board action on th ese two items is necessary.
Item No . 1 8 is recommended Change Order No . 3 granting a total o f
$1,220 .22 to the contract amount for the three minor items of
additiona l work described in the formal change order attached to
the agenda. This change order a l so grants the contractor an
extension of time of 74 calendar days because of the Operating
Engineers strike l ast summer and because of rain and wet grounds
during the period of the contract.
Item No . 19 is the customary r esolution accepting this contract as
complete as of February 28 and authori zing filing of a Notice of
Completion.

problems as evidenced by the receipt, from his creditors, of Formal
Notices to Withhold which will be listed on the final agenda. The
only action required by the Board is to receive and file these
Notices for the record.
No . 43 -CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 (REVISED), CONTRACT NO. 3-10: At a
previous meeting of the Board, the contractor on the job described
under Item No . 42 was directed to install a. siphon in the sewer line
with compensation to be on a cost plus basis. Now that the work is
complete, a dollar value ($3,019 .75) can be assigned to this extra
work as computed in the recommended formal change order attached to
the agenda .
Nos. 44, 45 and 46 -NEGOTIATIONS WITH DISTRICT NO. 11: As proposed
at the February Joint meeting, a committee of Directors composed of
Messrs. Cornwell, Culver and Kanno met with the Directors of District
No. 11 on February 16 for the purpose of carrying on further
negotiations regarding sewerage of a portion of District No. 3
through the facilities of District No . 11 and to consider related
joint problems.
A report on this Committee meeting is enclosed for the
Directors and we believe it to be self-explanatory. If the report
and recommendation of the Committee is acceptable to the full Board
of Directors, adoption of the recommended actions as appearing on
the formal agenda will be in order. In connection with Item No. 46,
the proposal of the District's engineers for preparation of the
recommended report is attached to the agenda. -I
District No . 7 ---
No. 50 -RESOLUTION NO . 66-15-7: Accepts easements, at no cost to

Nos. 51 through 53 -AUTHORIZING THE STAFF AND ENGINEERS TO PROCEED
WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FOURTH STREET BYPASS SEWER: At the
regu lar meeting in November, the Board declared its intent to include
this sewer in its Master Plan and authorized the City of Santa Ana
to use the connection charges collected by them to finance the
project. Orig inally, only one segment of the bypass was planned for
construction this year, but the City has now requested that the
Di s trict plan construction of the entire project to coincide with a
street widening contract scheduled for June. The staff and eng ineers
have discussed the matter with the City 's staff, and recommend that
the District construct the facility at this time. The preliminary
cost estimate is $45,538.00, of which the City will contribute
approximately $30,000 from its connection charge fund .
No. 54 -SETTLEMENT OF DAMAGES: This action authorizes payment to
a property owner for removal of three trees during construction of
sewers in Assessment District #5 -A. The settlement was negotiated

by the General Counsel, and the $120 contingency was included in

recommends payment of this amount .
No. 55 -CONNECTION CHARGES FOR THE W. R. NELSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL :
During 1965, the Tustin Elementary School District constructed a
school on 8.9 acres located at the northeast corner of Browning and
Walnut Avenues. We advised the Schoo l District that this property
was outside our District and must be annexed to District No. 7 .
Appli cation for annexation was made to the Board of Supervisors and
was approved by the Local Agency Formation Commission in March, 1965.
The annexation should have been comp l eted no later than May, but, due
to a misunderstanding or clerical error, the documents were not
processed. New annexation proceedings were instituted late in 1965
and the annexation became official in February, 1966 .
The school opened in September, 1965, and, since it began using
District No. 7 's facilities at that time, the staff wou l d like
direction from the Board concerning the collection of the applicable
connection charges.
No. 56 -CONSIDERATION OF LETTER CONCERNING POSSIBLE ANNEXATION:
A letter has been received from Messrs . Liljeblad and Wessinger
requesting an expression from the Board as to its views concerning
a petition for annexation to the District of approximately one acre,
which is not contiguous to the District boundary . A copy of the
letter is enclosed with the agenda. This type of annexation is
legal but may not be satisfactory to the Board . The proponents of
the annexation plan to attend the meeting to explain their position
more fully .
Nos . 57 through 62 -INITIATION OF PROCEEDING FOR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 6: The next improvement district for which the installation of
street sewers is proposed is Assessment District No . 6. This will
provide for local sewers in the El Modena area and scattered
developed areas in District No. 7 which are not now sewered.

REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS
OF
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS NOS. 1, 2, 3, S, 6 AND 11
RE: CONCRETE AND STEEL PRICE-PIXING AND ANTI-TRUST SUITS
On or about September 1, 1962, certain defendant steel
companies entered a plea of nolo contendre in one or more federal
criminal actions relating to violations of the anti-trust laws
regarding price-fixing in the steel and concrete pipe industry
servinq the western area of the United States. This plea appar-
ently had the effect of admitting that certain price-fixing had
gone on up to that time.
Subsequently the Attorney General of the State of Cali-
fornia filed a "class action", which could include all cities and
special districts, as well as the State of California, for the
purpose of seeking recovery of the damages those joining as plain-
tiffs had suffered by reason of said price-fixing. The applicable
statutes allow treble damages plus an award for attorney's fees.
The Attorney General's office has offered to include
the County Sanitation Districts as plaintiffs and has forwarded a
resolution authorizing that office to represent the Districts and
to associate me as your general counsel on the case. My duti~s
would be to qather information at this local level for use in the
pending lawsuit. The pro's and con's of such action seem to be
as follows:
PRO: (1) The action is underway; and the principal work
to be done is to determine damages and to
either settle or litigate the amount thereof.
(2) Each plaintiff would probably be treated
equally as to method of settlement and costs
involved.
-1-
~··
CON: (1) You would have no control over the amount or
basis of settlement.
(2) The exact amount of costs you would bear are
unknown, but, after a telephone call to the
Attorney General's office, are believed to be
quite small.
(3) You would have to pay my fees as local counsel
in addition to other costs. The amount of
these fees would depend upon how much work I
was required to do and cannot at this time be
estimated.
(4) There may be a protracted delay in receiving
money damages by reason of the involvement with
many similar claimants in one lawsuit.
As an alternate course of action--and this is being adopted
by some local agencies (e.g., Coastal Municipal Water District)--
staff counsel is retained to enter into a stipulation with the
defendant steel and pipe companies to waive the running of the
statute of limitations, and thereafter, negotiations for settlement
of the damage claims are begun. If a settlement cannot be reached,
a lawsuit is filed to litigate the claims. It is my understanding
that the Metropolitan Water District will follow this course of
procedure. If this course of action is followed, the matter could
be handled on a contingent fee basis; and I, as your legal counsel,
would expect to associate an attorney experienced in this type of
litigation and settlement negotiation. The usual contingent fee
for this type of matter is one-third of the amount recovered plus
any attorney's fees which the court might award in the event of
litigation. The pro's and con's of such action seem to be as
follows:
PRO:
..
(1) You would determine in the event of a settle-
m~nt what the amount of and basis for settle-
tnent would be.
-2-
~··
(2) A settlement of the claims is probable in that
the defendants have already indicated a willing-
ness to make some monetary settlement according
to the best information I have received.
(3) You would probably receive your money sooner.
(4) You would not be involved with numerous other
districts and cities and would control at the
local level the course of the proceedings.
(5) If you recovered nothing, you would not be out
any monetary costs.
CON: The ultimate fees might be greater in the event of
a substantial recovery than they would be if the
matter were turned over to the Attorney General.
A third procedure is being advocated by a local firm of
attorneys, that is, to join as many.cities and districts in the
Orange County area as possible and to file a suit directly. Fees
would probably be on a contingent basis.
It is apparent that you have a duty to take some action
in the matter because there were substantial amounts of reinforced
concrete pipe purchased and used in construction by the Districts
during the period 1951 to September 1, 1962. I would be pleased
to represent the Districts under the second alternative plan under
the terms suggested; however, if you choose to turn the matter over
to the Attorney General, I will cooperate in every way as local
counsel to obtain the best recovery possible for you.

MEMORANDUM TO: LEE M. NELSON
SUBJECT: EVALUATION OF TRAINING SESSIONS
The Training Committee, with the help of 23 members of the staff
and 2 specialists from the outside, conducted a series of classes
for the Districts' personnel. Thirty-five papers were presented
in seven sessions. Attendance ran between 57 to 71 persons
present each session.
All phases of the Districts' operations were covered. The subjects
were covered in a general manner to familiarize each employee with
how his work fit into the overall operation of the Districts.
The greatest advantage was accrued to the instructors who found
they had to make themselves experts in their phase of instruction.
At the end of the last session, a review session was held to
evaluate our training methods. The training committee was pleased
with the overall results and now have a basis for starting the
next series of instruction seminars which will be specific and
detailed instruction of small specialized groups of employees.
