Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that, due to
the recent State holiday in memory of former President Johnson, which caused

ways had agreed to the inclusion and State funding of a frontage road through
the District's treatment plant expansion project.
After Mr. Horstkotte stated that it was planned to request bids on the

followed concerning District financing of the project.
