RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS
(a) City Administrator, Ernest A. Thompson,
At a previous meeting, the City Council had been approached regarding member-
ship appointment by Governor to the Regional Water Quality Control Board No.
9. It was related that the City of San Clemente and City of Laguna Beach had
Supposedly endorsed Councilman Don Durnford by resolution during their respect-
ive Council meetings held Wednesday, September 6, 1967. No certification of
this has been received to date. However, through discussion, it was felt that
a letter of endorsement was more appropriate than a resolution because it
would allow an expanded list of statements of qualifications to be related to
the recommended appointee. Councilman Buchheim made the motion, duly seconded
by Councilman Bathgate, that such a letter be drafted in proper form endors-
ing Don Durnford for membership to the Regional Water Quality Control Board
No. 9. Motion carried, with Councilman Durnford abstaining from voting.

Dawson, City Attorney, entered some remarks of rebuttal and scope for
settlement of the current litigation issue. Discussion followed, with
Mr. Greenlee, who was present in the audience, expanding upon the
atmosphere and desire for resolving the matter. Councilman Buchheim,
seconded by Councilman Durnford, made a motion that the matter be re-
ferred to Staff for review and report at the next regular meeting,
