Director Nguyen arrived at 5:35 p.m. and Director Sheldon arrived at 5:38 p.m. during the following discussion.

Mr. Christopher Wilson representing Yellow Jacket Drilling advised that his client objected to the staff recommendation on Item No. 14, Contract No. SG-2014-1: Sunset Gap Seawater Intrusion Investigation Project: Amendment to Agreement No. 0958 with CDM Smith and Agreement to Ninyo & Moore for Geotechnical Investigation. He requested the Board defer taking an action, reconsider the facts, and resolve contractual issues with Yellow Jacket Drilling before proceeding. He stated that Yellow Jacket Drilling submitted a proposal to OCWD staff for "rotosonic drilling and filling" as an alternative to the geotechnical investigative work proposed by Ninyo & Moore, and he claimed it was more sophisticated and a less expensive option. General Manager Mike Markus stated the construction issues at the Bolsa Chica Flood Control levee were thoroughly discussed at the July 8 Water Issues Committee meeting. He encouraged the Board to approve the recommended actions as they are designed to repair the levee and satisfy the requirements set forth by the Orange County Public Works Department. General Counsel Joel Kuperberg briefly discussed
