RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, this Board has been presented with a form of such Agreement and said Board has examined and approved such Agreement as to both form and content and desires to enter into same.

 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the President of this Board of Supervisors is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Agreement for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board of Supervisors shall attest the President’s signature thereto.
