volved in’completing the joint program of the Sanitation
Districts,and had analyzed van )US methods which might
accomplish the construction of a countywide sewerage dis
posal system including an ocean outfall 7000 feet in length.
Elapse of time since the bonds were voted in 1949 had
considerably reduced the vaiue of funds available for
construction purposes;and the Committee had found the
Modification Plan the only one,with certain revisions due
to rise in cost since the plan was presented in 1951,which
it could recommend to the Boards for adoption.
The Committee had studied and developed a Revised
Modification Plan which would offer the features of bui1din’~
facilities with funds available,being a flexible plan and
yet would provide for constniction of the facilities in the
shortest period of time.
Copies of’the Revised Modification Plan were presented
to the Directors,together with tabulations on the detailed
estiniat es of construction,contingencies,engine ening super
vision and inspection,less funds to be made available from
Chapter 20 funds -the a~gregate total 1’or expenditures fmm
bond funds estimated at ~7,292,702;and tabulations on the
Districts’bond funds available after deduction of cost of
purchase of the new J.0.S.digester,etc.-aggregating
~~10~,000,leaving ~l5,29~reserve for all other costs.
