LEGAL PROGRESS Judge Marks reported: 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— 278 percentage of ownership in the lower section to set up the same percentage of ownership in the land.as in the facilities. Judge Marks stated.that the modification report i.s 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 1iner~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 o: ~ond.Attorn~yu three weeks ago employing O’Melveny & 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 bond.s issued.This is the fee charged for school district bonds;and.that the usual fee on Sanltatio~ District bonds is $14.OO per thousand.dollars. Bonds over one million dollars cannot be offered for sale 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 ap~roval. 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 expressed.the opinion ~gent that District No.1 could.only act as contracting agent for.work in those instances in which it has an interest In the facilities an’ work to be done;and.that this opinion has now been mod.i— fled 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.Harrison for a report from the consulting engineers: REPORT OP THE Mr.Harrison reported that District No.7 CONSULTING had.questioned the specific use of clay GINEERS 1iners~and that the consulting engineers had reported to that ~oard that other protection could.be used.;that they had.proposed clay liners in view of lower cost as the 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.Harx~ieon s~ated.that discussion had been held.with 279 Mr.Lind.man and.Mr.Beebe of fl’Melveny &Myers relative to some percentage changes,and.at that tim~e 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.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 outfal’ and that the plan provide for a larger single pipe instead of the 48”and.60”paralleling line.Mr.Harrison stated that their reason for proposing a 48”replacement was that they understood that the 42K needed replacing immediately and.that 84”pipe would have to be made whereas 48”pipe is available.However,if this work does not have to be done this summer,when the plans and.s~pec1fications 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 154 acres of land; the bond.attorneys believed.this division of cost should be upon the same percentage basis 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 q.uestion of the bond attorneys,Mr.Harrison stated,had to do with Table 2 in the 1951 Modification 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. PROPOS.A.L OF Chairman Finch reported that the ~xecutive .~DJOURNING Committee had.recommended that this meet— MEBTINC UNTIL ingbe adjourned.to July 18,1951,at the JULr 18.1951 hour of 8:00 p.m.,and be held In the Board of Supervisors’Room,Court House, Santa ~ê.na,California;as this seemed the best way of handling acceptance of the Modification Plan,and other business which was to have come before the Boards at this mée tine. 280 EMPLOYMENT OF CHIEF ENGINEER AND GENERAL MANAGER A motion was made by Director Willard.
