petent to do this work;and to compute this data and.present

District No.7,and.was unanimously ap
proved by the Executive Committee and is recommended.to the
District Boards:
That the 60”line from Plant No.1 to the southerly terminus
of the L15fl J.O.S.Section I Outfall be constructed of 60”
reinforced,concrete pipe,or 6Ou reinforced.concrete pipe
properly protected.;and.
That the remaining 3,350’plus or minus to connect with the
ocean outfall be constructed of reinforced concrete pipe or
reinforced concrete pipe properly protected.of a size suf
ficient to take care of the needs of the Districts as
determined,by the Bacon report up to the year 1990.
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--
255
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 is a tent
ative report and.not the absolute law1 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 o:
Bond.Attorneyo three weeks ago employing O1Melveny &
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.thatthis fee is $1.50 per thousand
do].lars on ‘bonds issued.This is the fee charged.for
school district bonds;and that the usual fee on Sanitatio~
~istrict bond.s is $Li..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
Contro.cting the bond.attorneys expressed.the opinion
Agent 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 Pinch called.upon Mr.Harrison for a report from the
consulting enginoeres
REPORT OP THE Mr.Harrison reported that District No.7
CONSULTING had questioned.the specific use of clay
~N&INEERS liners,and that the consulting engineers
had.reported to that Board that other
protection could be used;that they had proposed.clay
liners in view of lcwer 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.Harrison stated that d1~ou~~jo~had been held.with
2.56
Mr.Llndman and.Mr.Beebe of OtMelveny &Myers relative to
some percentage changea,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.Lindinan 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 Modif ication.Plan eliminate the replacing of the L~.20
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 f~rproposing a L~.8tt replacement was that
they understood.that the l4.2~needed replacing imined.iately
and.that 8k”pipe would have to be made whereas L1.8”pipe
is available.However,if this work does not have to be
done this summer,when the plans and.specifications are
written they can then determine the most economical
prOcedure.
Mr.Harrison stated that the bond attorneys questioned the
distribution of cOat 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 1514 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 question 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 Li.8”line and 60”line would act as a unit.
PROPOSAL OP Chairman Pinch reported that the Executive
ADJOURNING Committee had.recommended that this meet—
MEETING UNTIL thgbe adjourned,to July 18,1951,at the
JULY 18,1951 hour of 8:00 p.me,and be held.in the

busineas which was to have come before the Boards at this
meeting.
