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.

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.
