RE:LETTER NO.2 AND This recommendation is made to ATTACHED STATEMENT AS facilitate the bookkeeping.

RE:LETTER NO.3 AS District No.g has transferred READ BY.THE SECRETARY ~2,22~.7l into the Joint Ad ministration fund but there is no way of charging any of the Joint Administrative Organization’s expenses against this as District No.~is not included in the percent ages to prorate expenditures.It is recommended that the $2,22~.71 be transferred to District No.~‘s Operating Fund,and any charge to that District for its expenses be determined by District No.~and the other Districts,be paid.by Warrant Demand upon the Operating Fund of District No.~in favor of the JointAdministra— tive Fund of Districts Nos.1,2,3,5,6,7,and 11. -9.- OPERATING FUND WARRANT A motion was made by Director Ross REGISTER Greeley,duly seconded and carried, approving for signature and pay-. ment Warrant Register covering the following Voucher Demands: 5—33 _________ A motion was made by Director Ross Greeley,duly seconded by Director Braden Finch,and unanimously carried by board members present, that the Auditor of Orange County, California,be and is hereby authorized and directed to make a transfer of ~147.97 from County Sanitation District No.5 Operating Fund to the Joint Administrative Fund of County Sanitation Districts Nos.1,2,3,5,6,7,and 11 on the ledgers maintained in his office,to bring the Auditor’s fund balances into agreement with the Joint Ad ministrative records,as recommended in Mr.Diehi’s Letter No.1 and attached statement,as read by the Secretary at this meeting.
