REPORT
Modification Several conferences have been held with the
Plan bond attorneys and the consulting engineers
and that most of the points have been
ironed out.The bond.attorneys desire a change in the
—3—
2S7
percentage of ownership in the lower section to set up the
same percentage of ownership in the land.as in the
f a c iii t I e s.
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.
Bonds over one million dollars cannot be offered for gale
without the approval of the State Reserve Board.Judge
Marks stated that he had requested blanks from this agency
so that application may be made for their apDroval.
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 capacity~
Relative to Judge Marks stated that some months ago
Contracting the bond.attorneys expzessed the opinion
~gent that District No.1 could only act as
contracting agent for work in those
instances in which tt has an interest in the facilities an’
work to be done;án~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 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.
PROPOSAL OP Chairman Pinch reported that the Executive
ADJOURNING Committee had.recommended that this meet—
