Legal ~ee of The District Boards passed a motion two o: Bond .A.ttorneyC three weeks ago employing O’Melveny & Myers at the rate of $25.00 per hour.At the meeting in Los Angeles,the bond attorneys’represent ative stated.that they would not require this fee,but would charge the minimum fee for final approval for the sale of bonds ~nd that this fee is $1.50 per thousand. dollars on bonds issued.This is the fee charged for school district bonds;and.that the usual fee on Sanitatio~.

Chairman pinch called upon Mr.Harrison f~r a report from the consu].ting engineersi R~P0RT 0~TH~‘Mr.Harrison reported that District No.7 CONSULTING ‘ had questioned.the specific use of clay ~,N.~.GINEERS liners,and that the consulting engineers had reported.to that Board that other prot.ection could be used.;that they had.proposed clay liners in view of lower cost as the price quotations re ceived,for equal protection showed.clay liners to be the most economical.Mr.Harrison stated.that the plans can b changed to provide for alternate protection. Mr.Harrison stated,that discussion had been held with .-14.— 284 Mr.Lindman and.Mr.Beebe of O’Melveny &Myers relative to some percentage changes,and.at that time the consulting engineers raised.the question as to whether the details that are in the Modification Plan are binding,or if they can be changed later.Mr.Lindman and.Mr.Beebe stated that fur’ther modifications will be allowed by specific resolutions ad.opted.by a four—fifths vote of the District Boards. Mr.Harrison stated.that District No.7had.suggested.that the Modification Plan eliminate the replacing of the L$.2’I pipe on the 3,350’of line to connect with the ocean outfal’ and that the plan provide for a larger single pipe instead of the 48”and 60”paralleling line.Mr,Harrison stated. that their reason for proposing a 48”replacement was that they understood that the 42”needed replacing immediately and.that 84”pipe would have to be made whereas 48”pipe is available.However,if this work does not have to be done this summer,when the plans and.specifications are written they can then determine the most economical procedure. Mr.Harrison stated that the bond.attorneys questioned.the distribution of cost of the land.required at the lower treatment plant and.use of the same percentages as set up in the Bacon report for purchase of the 154 acres of land; the bond attorneys believed this division of coat should.be upon the same percentage basis as.the construction.Mr. Harrison stated.that this would.be a minor item and.the change could be made within a few days. The other question of the bond.attorneys,Mr.Harrison stated,had to do with Table 2 in the 1951 Modification Plan,and that they believed percentages should.conform to capacity rights,but that he was to have another conference with the bond.attorneys on July 13th,for clarification of thie and the change in the text in which they wanted ex plained that the 48”line and 60”line would act as a unit.
