Report of the Finance Chairman Warner reported that at
Cor~iriittee the last meeting of the Boards,the
Finance Committee was authorized to
proceed with discussions with the engineers upon the propose~
modification plan and the legal counsel to return a report
to the Boards upon the legality of the proposed modification,
Mr,Warner asked that the Boards hear from the legal counsel
before hearing the Committee’s report.
Mr.Nisson and Mr.Ashton each submitted a copy of their
written legal opinions to the Directors,
Mr.Nisson reported upon a conference with Mr.Lindeman of
the law firm of O?Ivlelveriy &Myers as set forth in his written
legal opinion.Mr.Nisson stated that reversing the Ellis
Avenue line and still having it paid for by all Districts
would constitute no illegality providing each District1s
overall percentage of use and the overall distribution of
cost is maintained as contained in the original report;and
providing the percentage of payment is indicated.
Mr.Nisson stated that Mr.Lindeman did not care to give a
written opinion until the plan had been worked out completely
and that while no charge was mede for the conference,
O’Melveny &Myers would charge for any subsequent opinion.
Mr.Ashton stated that he concurred.in the opinion of
Mr.Nisson in principal,that their differences were in the
matter of degree rather than basic principles,as were set
forth in his written legal opinion.
Chairman Warner read the Finance Committee’s report,
bearing the signatures of Committee members Finch,Boney
and Warner.This report is on file in the office of the
Secretary.
Chairman Warner reviewed the modification plan with
the use of a chart of comparative figures,and gave the
following summary of the Committee’s report and recoinmen
dation:
1.There are insuffic:Lent funds available to construct
the plan under the oric~inal bond proposal.
2.It is desirable to construct the marine section of
the outfall to the full 7000 feet.
3.The proposed modification plan offers ~he best oppor
tunity to secure the equivalent accomplisment in
lieu of those proposed under the original plan with
the funds available.
L1.The plan can best be carried out by placing full
responsibility of engineering and construction
supervision and inspection under the jurisdiction of
the Design Engineers,including the Ocean Outfall
Marine Section,and that a modified contract be
negotiated with the Design Engineers to accomplish
the recommendations.
5.That the modification plan and engineering be con
sidered together as a joint program,all being
subject to the approval of the Districts’attorneys,
Mr.Nissori and Mr.Ashton,as to the legality
thereof.

ticipate in cost of constn~ction of a facility or purchase of a
plant site which would not be used by that District.Chairman Finch
stated that under the Modified Plan,overall percentages for all
Districts would remain the same as in the original plan;if a
District helped to pay on an item it would not use,it would got a
correspondingly larger portion in the items that other Districts
pay for;and that this principal was established when the existing
facilities were purchased.Director Langenbeck stated he believed
