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 percentage of ownership in the lower section to set up the same percentage of ownership in the land as in the facilities. —3— Judge Marks stated that the modification report is a tentative 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 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 speci— fled when the contracts are let. Legal Fee of The District Boards passed a motion two or Bond Attorneys three weeks ago employing O’Melveny &~ers at the rate of ~25.OO per hour.At the meeting in Los Angeles,the bond attorneys’representative 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 ~l.5O per thousand dollars on bonds issued. This is the fee charged for school district bonds;and that the usual fee on Sanitation District bonds Is p4.OO per thousand dollars. Bonds over one million dollars cannot be offered for sale with out the approval of the State Reserve Board.Judge M~rks stated that he had requested blanks from this agency so that application may be made for their approval. Agreement for That one or two paragraphs of the Agreement Purchase and for Purchase end Sale may have to be amended Sale on the question of capacity. Relative to Judge Marks stated that some months ago the Contracting bond attorneys expressed the opinion that Agent District No.1 could only act as contracting agent for work :tn those instances in which it has an interest In the facilities and work to be done;and that this opinion has now been modified somewhat In that District No. 1 may act as contracting 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 con sulting engineers: REPORT OF TNE Mr.Harrison reported that District No.7 had CONSULTING questioned the specific use of clay liners, ENGINEERS end that the consulting engineers had reported to that Board that other protection could be used;that they had proposed clay liners in view of lower cost as the price quotations received for equal protection showed clay liners to be the inos~economical.Mr.Harrison stated that the plans can be changed to provide for alternate protection. Mr.Harrison stated that discussion had been held with Mr.Linc]nien and Ma’,~eohe of O’Melvony &Myers relative to some percentage c~.angcs.aad at that time the consulting engineers raised the quesl~ion a~to whether the details that are In the Modification Plan are bind ing,or if they can be changed later.Mr.Lindrnan end Mr.,Beebo stated that further modifications will be allowed by spec~fIe resolu tions adopted by a four—fifths vote of the District Boards. Mr.Harrison stated that District No.7 had suggested that the Modi fication Plan eliminate the replacing of the 42”pipe on the 3,350’ of line to connect with the ocean outfall end that the plan provide for a larger single pipe instead of the 4~°and 60”parallelIng line. Mr.Harrison stated that their reason for proposing a 48”replacement was that they understood that the 42”needed replacing immediately and that 8411 pipe would have t.~be made wheroes 48”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 t~ie distri bution of cost of the land required at the lower treatment plant and use of the seine percentages as set up in the Bacon report for purchaso —4— of the 154 acres of land;they bond attorneys believed this division of cost should be upon the seine percentage basis as the construction. Mr.Harrison stated that this would be a minor item and the chengo could be made within a fow 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 ho was to have another conference with the bond attorneys on July 13th, for clarification of this and the change in the text in which theywantedexplainedthattho48”line and the 60”line would act as a unit.
