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 Pee of The District Boards passed a motion two 0: Bond Attorneys three weeks ago em’ploying OtMelveny & 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 and 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 o~SanItatio~ District bonds is $L1.OO per thousand dollars.

Chairman Finch called.upon Mr,~arrtson for a report from the consulting engineersi REPORT OF THE Mr.Harrison reported that District No.7 CONSULTING’had questioned the specific use of clay ENGINEERS 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 asthe 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 —‘4.“ø 2G8 Mr.Lind.man 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.Lind.man and.Mr..Beebe stated that further modifications wil].be allowed by specific resolutionG 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 outfal~ and tha.t the plan provide for a larger single pipe Instead of the 14511 and.60”paralleling line.Mr.Harrison stated that their reason for proposing a 48”replacement was that they understood that the 420 needed.replacing immediately arid,that 84”pipe would have to be made whereas 48”~Ipe is available,.However,if this work does not have to be done this Bummer,when the plans and.specifications are written they can then determine the most economical procedure.. Mr,.Harri.son 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 cost should.be upon the same percentage bacio as the construction.Mr. Harrison stated that this would be a minor item and the change could be made within a few days. The othe,r question of the bond attorneys,Mr.Harrison stated,had.to do with Table 2 in the ]951.Mod.ification 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 this and the change in the text in which they wanted ex plained.that the .48”line and 60”lIne would act as a unit.
