Ayes : Directors Kelly, Carnohan, Greek & Maerkle Noes : None Absent: Director Coe Squires Attorney Smith stated he had been in contact with Mr. Wilcox and they Dm are willing to lease to District clay areas on a simple contract but the price is $ .20 per cubic yard. He also received a call from Mrs. Dawson. She had heard we were getting clay from someone else. Attorney Smith told he] were considering this. She was willing to drop Deer Springs Canyon matter, She wantec contract draft submitted to Board. Mr. Smith stated he had contract signed by Mrs. Dawson, giving six months time extension, until June 30, 1963. She wants to have certain drift fence in a certain area and roads constructed in the event our borrow operation disturbs existing roads, also restoration of borrow area after we are finishc Price on her contract is $ .10 per cubic yard as compared to $ .20 per cubic yard from Mr o Wilcox. There was a discussion of using a 3 to 1 mix of the D.G. in the dam and fine material on the "Wilcox prcperty". Most important aspect is obtaining the most storage area possible for the District in the dam site, It was discussed that we should talk-.to Melbourne. If we go to mixing program, he on this. It is important for the final contract with Melbourne to spell everything out very clearly to avoid future complications and possible law suits. Such details would include revisions in the specifications and allowance for "time" under contract. It is believed that if Wilcox realizes the amount of money involved, we will be able tc get a better price from him. Attorney Smith will talk to Wilcox in this regard and get the best possible price. This will be voted upon at the next regular meeting, August i It was decided we should stand any extra cost necessary to experiment with the soil mixing experimentation. In regard to the possibility of this mixing process delaying work, it was reported that contractor feelsk can finish the dam, insofar as putting the water in it, by contractstime. It will take about 40 working days. The deadline now is first week of October. It was decided that we should get a few buckets of the clay material from Wilcox propel and have Benton make a permeability test. If it passes requirements, we could then have Melbourne get a few loads and mix it for a more complete test being signing a contract. In discussions with State Engineers, they reported that mixing would be a problem. It was suggested that Attorney Smith tell Mrs. Dawson that we are considering a new theory which would give us extra capacity in the dam and would like to hold her contract in abeyance until a final decision is made. We prefer that Wilcox not be advised of this new plan for mixing until we have some- thing definite decided. Kelly Pointed out on the map that it would only be about 200 yazds further to get this better material from Wilcox for mixing. In review of the time schedule now on the Squires Dam project, the Board agreed to have Legal Counsel contact the contractor by letter to inform him of the time I would undoubtedly go only on a cost plus basis, It was decided to do a 1ir;tle researct I required and suggest that the overall program be advanced if possible.
