ADMINISTRATIVE Mr.Launer reported that a revised
OFFICER’S REPORT directory of members of the Boards
would be distributed at this meeting.
Mr.Launer reported that the fini~s of Harrison &Woolley,
and Harrison,Ferguson &Carollo,Consulting ~rigineers,have
been employed by the Boards to:
1.Make preliminary estimates to determine if
there is -sufficient money to carry out con
struction as outlined in the Bacon reports;
and
2.If the consulting engineers’comparative
estimates indicate there will not be
sufficient bond funds to build at present
day costs,the District B~rds will then
authorize them to prepare a modification
of the Bacon report to build adequate
facilities with the money available.
Mr.Launer stated that the Consulting Engineers had
submitted ten copies of their first report,which was
reviewed by the Executive Committee on May 7th.These
ten copies included a copy for each of the Districts and
were left in the Joint Administrative Office for inspection
by any of the Directors.Mr.Laurier then called upon Mr.
Carollo for a review of the report.
Mr.Carollo stated that the first part of their job
was to make a comparison of costs under the Bacon Report
and the estimated costs at the present time.They had
estimated in this preliminary report that there is an
overall surplus of ~l19,4O1,although two Districts are
estjm~ted to have a deficiency of funds,District No.6
being short 4~48,3O4 and District No.11 short ~7l,995.
T~ia~in the ca~o~’Dis~ri,ct No.~they believe the
deficiency c~n ‘be pvercôm~,inasmuch as i~ihen the Bacon
report was compiled it included facilities for Districts
Nos,4 ~nçi 11 with the use of 36”pipe.When District No.
4 withdrew,this was not changed in the Bacon report and
that considerable saving can be effected by use of smaller
pipe’which will be adequate for the needs of District No.
11.
That,in the case of District No.6,they could find
no such escape,except that some of ‘the shortage could be
made up from use of this District’s percentage in additional
Chapter 20 Funds which had not been included in the Bacon
report.

EXECUTIVE Director Robert H.Boney,Chairman
CON~4ITTEE of the Executive Committee reported
REPORT that the following recommendations
were made to the District Boards at
a meeting held on May 7th:
1.The Committee had reviewed the Consulting Engineers’
preliminary estimates in the report submitted by
Harrison &Woolley,and Headmdn,Ferguson &Carollo and
have made the unanimous recommendation that the District
Boards accept this report;,and that the District Boards
authorize the consulting engineers to proceed with a
modification of the Bacon Report for construction of
adequate facilities.
Director Warner led a general discussion on the proposed
modified report and stated that it is understood by the
Executive Committee that a modification.plan will work along
the basic procedure outlined in the Bacon Report,keeping in
mind future water reclamation and that the consulting engineers
will consider only modifications which will accomplish the
purpose intended by the Districts,but at a less cost or in
a more efficient manner.
2.The Executive Committee unanimously recommend that a
classification of Temporary Accountant be established for the
Joint Administrative Organization.There is considerable
work necessary in the way of gathering data on overlapping
bond issues and in obtaining other financial information
for issuance of the Districts’bonds.The Committee recom
mended that the salary of the Temporary Accountant be fixed
at ~3OO.OO per month,and that the Administrative Officer
be authorized to employ a nualified person when necessary.
3.~3~ii advisory committee has been formed which is comprised
of various county agencies for the purpose of making recom
mendations and to advise on pollution problems.The Executive
Conunitte~recommend~that Mr.Nelson M.Launer,Administrative
Officer,be appointed by the District Boards to represent
the Sanitation Districts on this County Pollution Advisory
Committee.
4.Centralizing the legal work o.f all Districts was discussed,
whereby one attorney would be employed upon a monthly retainer
basis and that the Committee had unanimously recommended that
the District Boards authorize it to appoint a Committee to work
out the details of a plan to be brought to the Directors for
their consideration.
5.It was brought out at the meeting of the Executive Committee
that considerable confusion has been experienced in the trans
actions of the Districts’business because in several instances
the transactions were not cleared through the Administrative
Officer;and that the Executive Committee had
—3—
25C
unanimously recommended that the District Boards
establish the policy whereby all business traris
actions must be processed through the Administrative
Officer for presentation to the Executive Committee
for recommendation to the D~t~ct Boards;except,
that this should not be a restriction upon the Adniin
istrative Officer in routine transactions;but,
that all routine business,such as establishing policy
with outside organizations,processing bills for pay
ment,discussions with the County Auditor and the
heads of other organizations,must be brought to the
Administrative Officer to be cleared and thus become
a matter of record and handled in a business like
manner.
