As I mentioned to you in our telephone conversation of June 8 , 1984 , Mr. Ray Burnham of the Alameda County Department of Public Works has verbally agreed that the County will execute this Release and endorse the original Certificate of Deposit in order that our client can proceed to disburse the $25 , 000 to the City of Dublin. In our conversation you mentioned that it may be necessary for this Consent and Release Agreement to be reviewed at a City Council meeting. You mentioned that the next meeting of the City Council would be June 25 , 1984 , and that either the City i Mr. Lee Thompson June 11, 1984 Page 2 Manager or the Mayor would most likely execute the Agreement. Once the document is executed, please return the original and the two counterparts in the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope for my further handling with Alameda County, Santa Barbara Savings, and our client. Thereafter, a fully executed copy of this Consent and Release Agreement will be forwarded to your attention, together with a check payable to the City of Dublin in the sum of $25 ; 000 .
