WHEREAS, this request is required under the California State Rules of Professional
Conduct as a condition to Stradling's work for Yacoel Properties on the project; and
WHEREAS, staff does not object to Stradling's representation of Yacoel Properties for
the following reasons: 1) the lawyer at Stradling representing Yacoel Properties has been doing
so for two years; he has never previously represented the City or Agency; (2) Stradling's
representation is limited to matters where there is no current dispute between City/Agency and
Developer, and where no material future dispute is expected; (3) if a dispute does arise
City/Agency would have the ability to require Stradling to withdraw from its representation; and
(4) Stradling's expertise and advice is likely to enhance the overall quality of the project
proposal.
