Report of the
Pastor Search (Pulpit) Committee
September 14, 2003
Thank you for the opportunity to report to you on our work in searching for a pastor. We
appreciate your confidence in us. Please pray for us as we seek to serve the church in this capacity.
The Committee met on Friday evening, September 12. We had tapes (audio and TV) from
four (4) candidates. So we listened to and watched those tapes. After that, the committee went
carefully over resumes and reference letters for 10 candidates, and looked at one additional new
resume which we have received. We had one member of the committee who was not there; so our
decisions are subject to ratification by that person. Should there be a disagreement with any of the
decisions made, the whole committee will re -visit those issues. Subject to that possibility, the
committee decided that four (4) candidates would not be right for us, and the chairman was directed
to so inform those candidates. We are waiting for further information on two (2) candidates; we do
not have enough information on which to make a decision. We need further background
investigation concerning three (3) candidates whose resumes and reference letters do not address
certain questions raised. The committee then divided up among the members the necessary work
to proceed with those tasks. We have two additional candidates on whom we have completed our
investigation, but do not feel God has given us either a "yea" or a "nay" We are praying about this
and waiting for His leadership concerning these two men.
One thing we know, however, is that we have the right to ask God for, and expect from Him,
the very best man possible. Though God has not given us His timetable, we fully trust that He has
our best at heart and when He is ready, it will happen.

Re: 10505 Miller Ave
Cupertino
Dear Mr Frank Woods,
I inspected your building on February 12, 2007 for rats. Roof
rats are commensal rodents, meaning they share the same table with
humans. Rats can not grow to large numbers without food from
humans. Food usually consists of pet food, bird seed and other items
communally associated with human activity. The building that you
need to tear down has not had human occupancy for a very long time.
It would be more of a community problem for skunks or raccoons. The
photos taken show the latest rat occupied the shed next to the large
building about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Grass seed was forgotten and
consumed by a rat. The rat left after the food was depleted. There is
no mass exodus of rats expected when the buildings are demolished.
Sincerely,
Steve Hebert

Debris Bins
Debris from a project in Cupertino can be collected and disposed of in either:
1. a Los Altos Garbage Co. bin (call 725-4020 to order), OR
2. a bin owned by the project's general contractor or demolition contractor, and hauled by a vehicle
owned and registered to that contractor (contractor should be prepared to prove ownership), OR
3. a private truck with a bed, but no bin
The Los Altos Garbage Company is the only debris bin service provider
franchised to do business in Cupertino.
Bins from other leasing companies may not be used in Cupertino.
Please check all that apply:
❑ I will use a Los Altos Garbage Company bin
I will use a bin and truck owned by the general contractor or the demolition contractor.
❑ I will use a private truck, and not drop a bin.
Recyclable Materials
Recyclable materials may be collected in private debris bins or containers leased
from ANY company, as long as the materials are both:
1. separated by type of material into separate containers, AND
2. are not contaminated by garbage.
Separated recyclable materials are materials that are separated into individual containers, each
containing just one type of recyclable material. Typical examples of recyclable materials
include: metal, wood, concrete, steel -reinforced concrete, asphalt, tree trimmings, white goods,
toilets (hardware removed), rocks and clean fill dirt. Separated recyclables must ultimately be
recycled or otherwise reused, and not disposed of in a landfill.
Contractor should be prepared to provide the name and phone number of any recycling companies being
used on the project. A list of local recycling companies can be found at: www.recyclestuff.org.
