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.
