seconded.and.unanimously carried that the Executive Corn-.
mittee recommend to the District.Boards:
That the Administrative Officer immediately contact Mr.
Fred.D..Bowlus and.with him consider these proposals and.
secure proposals from other firms whom they believe com—~
petent to do this work;and.to compute this data and present
it to the Executive Committee at the earliest possible date.
Recommendation of The following recommendation was made by
District No.7 minute order of the Board of Directors of
District No.7,and was unanimously ap
proved by the Executive Committee and is recommended to the
District Boards:
That the 60”line from Plant No.1 to the southerly terminus
of the ~8”J.O.S.Section I Outfall be constructed.of 60”
reinforced.concrete pipe,or 6011 reinforced concrete pipe
properly protected;and.
That the remaining 3,350’plus or minus to connect with the
ocean outfall be constructed of reinforced.concrete pipe or
reinforced.concrete pipe properly protected.of a size suf
ficient to take care of the needs of the Districts as
determined by the Bacon report up to the year 1990.-

ironed out.The bond.attorneys desire a change In the

percentage of ownership in the lower section to set up the
same percentage of ownership in the land..as in the
facilities,
Judge Marks stated that the modification report is a tent”
ative report and.not the absolute law,but will be subject
to the plans and specifications when adopted,as in the
instance of clay liners;that the liners can be concrete
pipe or concrete pipe properly protected;that if the
Boards desire to have clay liners or any other protection
the medium will be specified.when the contracts are let.
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~.
District bond.s is $11.00 per thousand.dollars,
Bonds over one mil].lon dollars cannot be offered for sale
without the approval of the State Reserve Board,Judge
Marka stated that he had requested blanks from this agency
so that application may be made for their ap~roval.
Agreement for That one or two paragraphs of the
Purchase and.Agreement for Purchase and Sale may have
Sale to be amended.on the question of capacity.
Re~.ative to Judge Marks stated that some months ago
Cozitracting the bond.attorneys expressed.the opinion
.
-~
that District No.1 could only act as
contracting agent for work in those
inetancee in which it has an interest in the facilities an
work to be done;and.that this opinion has now been modi
fied.somewhat in that District No.3.may act as contractin
agent for work in which they have capacity rights or pay
any part of the cost of the construction.
Chairman pinch called upon Mr.Harrison f~r a report from the
consu].ting engineersi
R~P0RT 0~TH~‘Mr.Harrison reported that District No.7
CONSULTING
‘
had questioned.the specific use of clay
~,N.~.GINEERS liners,and that the consulting engineers
had reported.to that Board that other
prot.ection could be used.;that they had.proposed clay
liners in view of lower cost as the price quotations re
ceived,for equal protection showed.clay liners to be the
most economical.Mr.Harrison stated.that the plans can b
changed to provide for alternate protection.
Mr.Harrison stated,that discussion had been held with
.-14.—
284
Mr.Lindman and.Mr.Beebe of O’Melveny &Myers relative to
some percentage changes,and.at that time the consulting
engineers raised.the question as to whether the details
that are in the Modification Plan are binding,or if they
can be changed later.Mr.Lindman and.Mr.Beebe stated
that fur’ther modifications will be allowed by specific
resolutions ad.opted.by a four—fifths vote of the District
Boards.
Mr.Harrison stated.that District No.7had.suggested.that
the Modification Plan eliminate the replacing of the L$.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.
