ADMINISTRATIVE Mr.Launer reported that a revised
OFFICER’S REPORT directory of members of the Boards
would be distributed at this meeting.
Mr.Launer reported that the firr~is of Harrison &Woolley,
arid Harrison,Ferguson &Carollo,Consulting Engineers,have
been employed by the Boards to:
1.Make preliminary estimates to determine if
there is ‘sufficient money to carry out con
struction as outlined in the Bacon reports;
and
2.If the consulting engineers’comparative
estimates indicate there will not be
sufficient bond funds to build at present
day costs,the District Boards will then
authorize them to prepare a modification
of the Bacon report to build adequate
facilities with the money available.
Mr.Launer stated that the Consulting Engineers had
submitted ten copies of their first report,which was
reviewed by the Executive Committee on May 7th.These
ten copies included a copy for each of the Districts and
were left in the Joint Administrative Office for inspection
by any of the Directors.Mr.Launer then called upon Mr.
Carollo for a review of the report.
Mr.Carollo stated that the first part of their job
was to make a comparison of costs under the Bacon Report
and the estimated costs at the present time.They had
estimated in this preliminary report that there is an
overall surplus of ~ll9,4Ol,although two Districts are
estimated to have a deficiency of funds.District No.6
being short $L+~,3O4 and District No.11 short $71,995.
th~c~e ~Di~trirct No.4,they believe 1~he
deficiency can he pvercbm~,in~smuch asi~,hen the Bacon
report was compiled it included f~.çilities for Districts
Nos.4 anci 11 with the use of 36”pipe.When District No.
4 withdrew,this was not changed in the Bacon report arid
that~considerable saving can be effected by use of smaller
pipe which will be adequate for the needs of District No.
11.
That,in the case of District No.6,they could find
no such escape,except that some of the shortage could be
made up from use of this District’s percentage in additional
Chapter 20 Funds which had not been included in the Bacon
report.

EXECUTIVE Director Robert H.Boney1 Chairman
CO~’ft4ITTEE of the Executive Committee reported
REPORT that the following recommendations
were made to the District Boards at
a meeting held on May 7th:
1.The Committee had reviewed the Consulting Engineers?
preliminary estimates in the report submitted by
Harrison &Woolley,and Headman,Ferguson &Carollo and
have made the unanimous recommendation that the District
Boards accept this report;and that the District Boards
authorize the consulting engineers to proceed with a
modification of the Bacon Report for construction of
adequate facilities.
Director Warner led a general discussion on the proposed
modified report and stated that it is understood by the
Executive Committee that a modification plan will work along
the basic procedure out).ined in the Bacon Report,keeping in
mind future water reclamation and that the consulting engineers
will consider only modifications which will accomplish the
purpose intended by the Districts,but at a less cost or in
a more efficient manner.
2.The Executive Committee unanimously recommend that a
classification of Temporary Accountant be established for the
Joint Administrative Organization.There is considerable
work necessary in the way of gathering data on overlapping
bond issues and in obtaining other financial information
for issuance of the Districts’bonds.The Committee recorn—
mended that the salary of the T~mpor~ry Accountant be fixed
at $300.00 per month,and that the Administrative Officer
he authorized to employ a cjualified person when necessary.

of various county agencies for the purpose of making recom
mendations and to advise on pollution problems.The Executive
Coniinitte~recommend~that Mr.Nelson M.Launer~Administrative
Officer,be appointed by the District Boards to represent
the $anitation Districts on this County Pollution Advisory
Committee,
4..Centralizing the legal work of all Districts ~as discussed,
whereby one attorney would be employed upon a monthly retainer
basis and that the Committee had unanimously recommended that
the District Boards authorize it to appoint a Committee to work
out the details of a plan to be brought to the Directors for
their consideration.
5.It was brought out at the meeting of the Executive Committee
that considerable confusion has been experienced in the trans
actions of the Districts’business because in several instances
the transactions were not cleared through the Administrative
Officer;and that the Executive Committee had
