<br />FURTHER DISCUSSION, FARM HILLS RESERVOIR SITE. There was a letter on file from A. F. Odd-
<br />stad, Jr. in regard to the reservoir site, but this letter was not read. Councilman
<br />Granger, Chairman, Cinnabar Committee, read the following letter from A. F. Oddstad,
<br />i
<br />Jr., in regard to the cinnabar deposits on land owned by the City of Redwood City
<br />} adjacent to the Farm Hill Subdivision.
<br />"With reference to the cinnabar deposits on land owned by the City of Redwood City
<br />adjacent to our Farm Hill Subdivision in Redwood City, I, A. F. Oddstad, Jr., hereby
<br />a offer to lease from the City such land as is determined by me to contain cinnabar
<br />in quantities which will be economically feasible to process. Such lease shall give
<br />to the Lessee, A. F. Oddstad, Jr., full right to explore, develop, excavate and re-
<br />move ores, process ores, and market mercury extracted from ore.
<br />? As payment for the leasing of the above property, A. F. Oddstad, Jr. shall give to
<br />the City of Redwood City, 50% of the profit derived from the sale of the mercury
<br />extracted from the ore on the land owned by the City. Profits shall be determined
<br />by deducting the cost of the exploration, development, mining, processing and market-
<br />ing, as indicated above, which cost shall be 030.00 per ton of ore handled, from
<br />the sales price of the mercury. Only that ore will be processed which, in my opinion,
<br />will show a profit after the expense, as indicated above, has been deducted from
<br />the sales price.
<br />If, in the opinion of the undersigned, the cinnabar on property being developed by
<br />Oddstad Homes and property owned by the City, is determined to be of sufficient
<br />magnitude to warrant the installation of a processing plant relatively close to the
<br />mining operation (i.e., along Bayshore Highway in Redwood City or San Carlos), I will
<br />set up such a processing plant. If such a plant is built, there will be a decrease
<br />i in the $30.00 per ton handling cost, which decrease shall be reflected directly in the
<br />j determination of profit as indicated above.
<br />r (signed)
<br />Very truly yours, A. F. Oddstad, Jr."
<br />Councilman Granger moved that the City Manager spend funds necessary to secure techni-
<br />cal advice for whatever is necessary for the study meeting which will be held Wednes-
