285 City Manager responded to request of Vice -Mayor Keckley concerning the South County proposal, advising that Staff is reworking a substantial report to bring up to date amount of funds in the budget at this time. Sidney D. Herkner, member of District Board of Directors, South County Disposal District, reported on their regular monthly meeting held that date, advising that Use Permit issued by Menlo Park will expire June 30, and that he had requested in writing an extension beyond that date on a month to month basis, with a 60 -day cancellation provision for Menlo Park. It appeared the City would be operating there for at least 60 to 90 days beyond June 30. He reviewed report he had previously made to Council relative to finances of the District and listed assets as of the first of this month at $275,000 in cash and government securities, less reserve for depreciation of equipment, and 25 acres of land worth approximately $125,000. He stated the Board has tentatively agreed to go along with recommendation if the District Attorney agrees, when and if the District is phased out. At the time of the original agreement with the County, it was proposed by the County to develop and operate a large recreation area and the Board agreed to give to the County the 25 acres of land. It was his opinion now that the project is changing this understand- ing is no longer valid. He understood in conversations with officials of the Scavenger Company that it would be some time before Ox Mountain would be available, and believed that North County cities will continue to use Menlo Park, and at present it did not appear it would be necessary for a transfer station on Redwood Shores property. He gave assurance that he would do everything possible to see that the interests of the Council and citizens are protected, and when more definite information is available, he would like to make a further report to Council. Mayor Bury expressed appreciation for Mr. Herkner's continuing interest, and the fine representation that the City is being given through his efforts Presentation of Certificates of Completion of Building Department Training Courses. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. Norman R. Ehmann, Vice President, Neil A. Maclean Co., Inc., Instructor in the courses, Chief Building Official read in full a letter from Mr. Ehmann in which he commended the three Building Department Inspectors who had completed the course in structural pest control, and indicated his desire to make the presentation of graduation certificates earned by Douglas Leith, John Cappelletti, and Arthur Smith, Chief Building Official emphasized that this course represented a small portion of effort within his Staff to improve their skills through special studies, noting that recognition should also be given of the fact that during the past four years, the following Building Department personnel have, on a voluntary basis, taken accredited building trade courses at the College of San Mateo: Oscar Breiling, Robert Bruce, John Cappelletti, Robert Smith, Douglas Leith and Arthur Smith. Mayor Bury commended these employees for their willingness to voluntarily assume additional training to improve their capability to serve the community.
