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,bat 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 Pee of The District Boards passed a motion two o:
Bond.Attorneyt three weeks ago employing O’Melveny &
Myerp 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 bond.~and that this.fee is ~l.50 per thousand
dollars on bonds issued..This is the fee charged for
school district bonds;and.that the usual fee on Sanitatio
District bonds is $Lk.00 per thousanddollars.
Bonds over one million dollars cannot be offered for sale
without the approval of the State Reserve Board.Judge

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 oapacityç
Relative to Judge Marks stated that some months ago
Cofltr~icting the bond.attorneys expressed.the opinion
Age~nt that District No.1 could.only act as
contracting agent for work in those
instances In which it has an interest in the facilities ani
work to be dons;and.that this opinion has now been modi
fied.somewhat in that District No.1 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 for a report from the
consulting engineers*
R~P0RT OP THB Mr.~Harrison reported that Distriöt No.7
CONSULT!NG
.
had questioned.the specific use of clay
EN~INE~RS
_
liners,and.that the consulting engineers
had reported to that Board that other
protection could be used.;that they had proposed clay
liners in view of lower cost as the price quotatlona 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
2G~
Mr.Lind.man and Mr.Beebe of O’Melveny &Myers relative to
some percentage changes,and.e~t that time the consultifig
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 further modifications will be allowed by specific
resolutions adopted by a four—fifths vote of the District
Boards.
Mr.Harrison stated that District No.7 had.suggested that
the Modification Plan eliminate the replacing of the ~42”
pipe on the 3,350?of line to connect with the ocean outfa]..’
and that the plan provide for a larger single pipe instead
of the Li~8”and 6O~paralleling line.Mr~Harrison stated
that their reason for proposing a ~48”replacement was that
they understood that the L~2?t needed replacing immediately
and.that 8Li~’~pi~e would have to be made whereas ‘48u 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 l5LI~acres of land;
the bond.attorneys believed this division of cost should be
upon the same percentage ba~i~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 195].ModificatIon
Plan,and that they believed percentages should conform to
capacity rights,but that he was to have ano~her conference
with the bond attorneys on July 13th,for clarification of
this and the change in the text in which they wanted ex
plained that the 48~line and 6O~’line would act as a unit.

ADJ0URNING~Committee had recommended that this meet—
