o1z
the law firm O’Melveny &Myers,bond attorneys.
However,the Joint Construction and Operation
Agreement will perhaps have major changes due to the
modification plans now being prepared by the consulting
engineers.As the other contracts are to be signed at
the same tii~ne the Joint Construction and Operation
Agreement is executed,these contracts should all be
held up until it is known what revisions will have to
be made in the Joint Construction and Operation Agreement.
Budgets Estimates on the Joint Administrative
budgets are being prepared.The
County Auditor desires to have all budgets by July 10th
for checking.Each Director will be furnished a copy
of the budget for the district or districts he represents
and a copy of the Joint Administrative budget.However,
before these budgets can be prepared,it is necessary
that the District Boards contemplating special expendi
tures from their operating funds,such as engineering,
legal,etc.,should submit the estimates of such expendi
tureS for the fiscal year 1951-1952 by June 25,1951,so
that the budgets can be prepared,tax rates set up by
July 10th,and final budgets presented to the District
Boards for approval at the regular meeting to be held on
July 25,1951,
Preparation For Work has been in progress for the past
Sale of Bonds 60 days to accumulate data on the over
lapping bond indebtedness.The over
lapping bond indebtedness for the County has now been
completed by the County Auditor’s Office and the balance
of the data will be compiled in the Joint Administrative
Office.
The financial data required by the bond departments
of the Bank of America and the Security-First National Bank
have been discussed with representatives of these two banks.
The representative of the Security-First National Bank has
advised that the data we will have available on overlapping
bond indebtedness and the approval of the bond attorneys,
O’Melveny &Myers,and a report from the California Municipal
Statistics,Inc.,will be sufficient information for them to
base their bids upon.He advised that the California Municipal
Statistics,Inc.,will furnish them the required information
on overl&ipping bond indebtedness and no fee to this firm should
be paid by the County Sanitation Districts.We have written
to the California Municipal Statistics people offering them our
cooperation and requesting that they advise what information
they will require from us.
Mr.Goodrich of the Bank of America’s Head Office in
Los Angeles brought out several new points in a lengthly
conference the Administrative Officer had with him on June 12th.
Mr.Goodrich stated that the bonU market for the past several
months ~~iow~a ~.e~p4te r4,se in interest ~te~p~i this
type of bonds.He 4dvQca~ed,ir~order.to get the most favorabl.e
—3—
rates,that data be presented to Dun and Bradstreet and to
Moody’s for obtaining the highest rating on the bonds,as
they are national organizations and,that bonds of this type
receive more favorable rates in the New York bond markets.
The Bank of America has financed a bond issue for the City
of Sari Diego in which they have five agencies listed for
collection.There are five such agencies in New York and
two in California who act as collecting agencies,the foe
being 5~per coupon for the first ~lO,OOO and a more favorable
fee for larger amounts.The Bank of America also recommends
selling the entire issue at the present time to secure the
best rates of interest and then depositing the excess monoy in
the bank or buying prevailing Treasury A bonds;the bank would
pay 1-1/4%interest but would require reciprocal amounts of
deposit from Orange County.As this would be practically
impossible for Orange County,Mr.Goodrich suggested that the
best method,therefore,seems to be purchasing Series A Treasury
bonds which can be cashed in at any time and would bear interest
at the rate of 1.44%for the first six months and increasing rates
up to l.~%at the end of three years.
Mr.Goodrich stated thdt the Bank of America’s requirement
of financial data is relative simple:a map of each district
and an anlysis showing the dities and districts within it and they.
financial statements on bond issues.

REPORT OF THE Robert Fl,Boney,Chairman of the
CHAIRMi•~N OF THE Executive Committee reported that this
EXECUTIVE CO~ITTEE Committee had met with Messrs.
Carollo,Harrison and Woolley of the
consulting engineering firms on May 31st.The consulting
engineers reported:
1.Their studies of future population for all
Districts show the estimated future population
considerably lower throughout the Countythan
the estimates in the Bacon reports.
2.They estimate per capita sewage flow somewhat
higher than the Bacon estimates.
3.They had worked on seven different modifidation
plans.
4.The plan which seemed the most feasible in every
way would also save some ~4OO,OOO to $500,000 on
the overall project.This plan would involve:
(a)A 6O~’line parallel to the present 4~line,
instead of an ~4”line down Bushard Street,
as pronosed in the Bacon reports.
•(b)Use of two plants,which would include:
The present plant and an addition thereto.
An additional plant at the lower end,with
clarifiers and primary treatment.The
lower plant would require about 30 acres
of land,which would provide for the plant
and concealing landscaping.
That this plan would fully use the present plant and
also provide for future water reclamation if that should
become desirable~It would allow chlorination at either
the upper or lower plants.And,that the consulting
engineers advise this report on the modified plan will
be completed by June 21st,
Mr.Boney reported that a ur~animous recommendation
was made by members of the Executive Committee at the
meeting held on May 31st that the Secretaryts salary
be increased from ~250.00 per month to $300.00 per
month.
Mr.Boney then called upon Mr.Harrison for futher
comment upon the engineerst progress report on the
modification plans.

Mr.Harrison stated that they were not in a position
to make any definite commi.tments on the modification plans
at this time,but so far,had found nothing that would
suggest a change from the plan as outlined by Mr.Boney.
The Bushard Street line,as proposed in the Bacon reports,
is very large;placing a 60!?line parallel to the 4~line
would account for a great saving.Mr.Harrison stated that
they had given considerable thought to future water reclarna
tion which could be taken care of very readily by the addi
tions to the upper plant,the Magnolia and Euclid trunks
being so designed to make possible segregation of salt brine,
oil wastes and other chemicals or effluents which would be
detrimental to reclaimed water,and non-salvable wastes could
he discharged into the ocean outfall.
