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.
