REPOiT OCficcr,reported that tite new directory
of County Sanitation Districts l3oards
of Directors would be distributed at this meeting.
Mr.Launer called upon Mr.E~J.Marks for legal progress report.
Judge Marks reported as follows:
1.All of the required information has been submitted
to Mr.Beebe,but the contracts have not yet been
returned by him.
2.Congressman Phillips has consented to introduce ~
bill giving the cities the right to sell facili
ties built in part with WPA funds.It has been
suggested to him that he present two bills,one
for the Joint Districts and another for Districts
5 and 6 and the City of Newport Beach.
3.A bill authorizing the permanent right of munici
palities to lease water and sewerage facilities
has been introduced in the State Legislature and
was to have been passed this week;due to the
early adjournment,it will probably go over to
thu next session.
A general discussion was held upon factors causing the delay in
preparing the final drafts of the contracts.
Director ~dillis H.Warner reported that while in Sacramento,
he had discussed the Chapter 20 rinds with the State Controller’s
OWficc and several Senators,lie reported that the status of these
funds is:
1.Application h~s been made,reviewed and approved
and funds of ~553,968 allocated by the State for
use in construction of the land and marine sections
of the ocean outfall.
2.This money will be paid only after the project has
been completed,the bills paid and statement rendered,
which must be before the 31st of December,1952.
Consi;ructionmust be started before December 31,1951,
which gives one year to complete the project.The
completion time allowed in the original plans was two
years.

3.That there will be some bills before the Legislature
to provide changes in the Act,but that there are
two factors to keep in mind:
(a)Chapter 20 funds were set up to alleviate
unemployment;we are now going into war
production with high employment.
(b)With the present State program of economy?
these funds may be desired for other
State purposes.We may face a change in
the Act diverting these funds to civil
defense.
Director Warner expressed the opinion that it should be determin.
ed now 11’the Sanitation Districts are going to be able to meet the
time and other requirements for Chapter 20 funds of ~553,96f~end,
if the Sanitation Districts see that they are going to be unable tO
meet these requirements,the allocation should be returned to the
County so that application can be made for use of this money for other
County purposes which are acceptable to the State.
Director Don B.Haiber suggested that a program be drawn up of
actions to be taken after the contracts are sitned and that a period
of time be allocated to eadh action so that a date schedule cou’d be
maintained in order to meet the requirements of Chapter 20 f~inds.
At the request of Director Don B~}-h~iber,the Administrative
Officer reported upon the meeting of the Executive Committee at
which tine the contracts were gone over in detail.Each point was
presented to Mr.Beebe.That Mr.Beebe had requested further in
formation as to whether flowage was being taken from sources outside
of the Districts and that a survey wan made of the northor~part
of the County and a report given to Mr.Beebe last week.Mr.
Launer stated that at Mr.Beebe’s request additional figures on
•
District No.7 ware sent to him Friday.These consisted of funds
on hand,percentages and amounts which would go to the cities,
assessOd valuations and uncollected taxes.
A general discussion was held upon the possibility of funds
being advanced from the Federal Housing and ~inance Agency who
lend money for preliminary nurvoy and engineering work in projects
of this kind —the money to he repaid without interest when the
bond.s are sold.Director itilen A.Mandy expressed the opinion that
exploration work and engineering should not be started until the
contracts arc si~”ned.
