Tucker, LLP also represents The Olson Company. a builder of affordable
urban communities in California, on many of the redevelopment housing
projects it undertakes. At this time, The Olson Company has commenced
discussions with a developer, Barone Galasso & Associates, Inc., that may
lead to a City housing project involving for-sale and apartment units. As
they have done in the past regarding similar matters, The Olson Company
wishes Rutan & Tucker to represent them with respect to this project. If
this happens, Rutan & Tucker would then experience a conflict of interest
because of its dual role as counsel for both parties (albeit in separate
matters). Therefore, to continue as counsel for all parties (City. Agency, and
Olson) Rutan & Tucker must notify its affected clients of the situation,
assure them that its loyalty and quality of work will not be influenced by
factors other than the client's best interest, and obtain each client's
informed written consent. [City Attorney]

MEETING DATE: 11 /20/01
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION APPROVING $10,420 TO COVER ADDITIONAL COSTS
OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH AN 11 UNIT
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROJECT KNOWN AS TROLLEY TRESTLE

SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR V~,
REVIEWED BY: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR C9l,;>(1.1
4/5THS VOTE: YES0NOD
BACKGROUND
On June 22, 1999, the Agency approved a Disposition, Development and Housing Cooperation
Agreement with South Bay Community Services (SBCS), for the development of an eleven (11)
unit Transitional Housing Development for Foster Core Graduates, known as, Trolley Trestle,
located at 746 Ada Street. The project was completed in December 2000. SBCS is requesting a
grant of $10,420 to meet increased costs related to the off site improvements of the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Agency approve and appropriate $10,420 from the Low and
Moderate Income Housing fund to cover the increased costs.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On December 9, 1998, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to recommend approval of the
project. On June 22, 1999, City Council/Agency approved the project.
DISCUSSION
Trolley Trestle is a transitional housing project of 11 apartment units (6 one-bedroom and 5 two-
bedroom units), a common area meeting room, computer room, and porking for 12 vehicles,
including one handicapped space. Total development cost of this project was opproximotely
$1,323,000 which was paid by numerous funding sources including the State of California, the
County of San Diego, the City of Chulo Vista, and private foundations.

PAGE 2, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 11/20/01
The residents are individuals who hove completed the San Diego County Foster Core Progrom. The
transitionolliving program will be their first step towards self-sufficiency ond independent living. The
residents are allowed to stay for a maximum of two years, consistent with the definition of
transitional housing. During their residency, they will be required to continue their education or
obtain employment with a career path.
This housing project is targeted to extremely low-income young adults; they will be employed part
time while ottending school or just storting employment. Exfremely low income is defined as a
maximum of 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) as determined by HUD, currently
$11,300 for 0 single person household. Residents will contribute a percentage of their income
towards rent.
Public Improvement Costs
When this project was originally planned, the City only required that SBCS perform minor public
improvements, including curb ond gutter, driveway approoch, one streetlight, new sidewalk and
handicap ramps. The total cost for this work wos budgeted ot $10,000. After the project got
started, it was determined that the project also had to perform street widening and underground
storm-drain improvements, in addition to what was originally required which amounted to a total
cost of $12B,000. These items were never in SBCS' budget for this project. To address this increase
cost, SBCS was able to obtain $55,000 from the County of San Diego and other sources and the
agency contributed $73,000 to cover the balance.
After completing the final close out process for this project, SBCS incurred an additional $10,420 to
meet the increase costs of the project primarily due to prevailing woge requirements which were
higher than anticipated. SBCS is requesting Agency assistance in obtaining these odditional funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
Financial assistance in the form of a grant of $10,420 will be provided from the Redevelopment
Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. Total development cost of this 11 units
housing project was approximotely $1,323,000 involving numerous funding sources including
$536,000 from the County of San Diego, $247,000 from the State of Californio, a $300,000
development loan from the Agency, a lond contribution from the City valued at $167,000, and
$73,000 to partially cover the cost of the public improvements.
The $10,420 finoncial assistance requested to help poy for additional public improvement costs
can be provided from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

BACKGROUND
Rutan & Tucker, LLP represents the City of Chulo Visto ond Redevelopment Agency on a voriety of legal
motters. Rutan & Tucker also performs work for another client, The Olson Company. The Olson
Company hos commenced discussions with a developer to build offordable housing in the City and
wishes Rutan & Tucker to represent them on that project. Because of the conflict of interest associated
with representing two clients in adverse positions (albeit in unrelated matters) Rutan & Tucker needs 0
waiver of this conflict of interest to continue representing all parties.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council and the Agency adopt the Resolution opproving an informed consent agreement waiving
any conflict of interest arising from the law firm of Rutan & Tucker, LLP providing legal representation
to The Olson Company and related entities odverse to the City of Chula Visto ond the Redevelopment
Agency while at the same time representing the Redevelopment Agency regarding redevelopment plan
amendments, the City of Chula Vista on cable television matters, and the City of Chula Vista or
Redevelopment Agency regarding other future matters unreloted to the Olson project.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

MEETING DATE: 04/20/01
DISCUSSION
Currently, the City of Chula Vista ond Redevelopment Agency are employing the legal services of
Rutan & Tucker, LLP on a number of important City and Agency issues - for example, coble television
taxotion and redevelopment plan amendments. Rutan & Tucker, LLP also represents The Olson
Company, a builder of affordable urban communities in California, on many of the redevelopment
housing projects it undertakes. At this time, The Olson Company has commenced discussions with a
developer, Barone Galasso & Associotes, Inc., that may lead to a City housing project involving for-
sale and apartment units. As they have done in the past regarding similar matters, The Olson
Company wishes Rutan & Tucker to represent them with respect to this project. If this happens, Rutan
& Tucker would then experience 0 conflict of interest because of its dual role as counsel for both
parties (albeit in unrelated motters). Therefore, to continue as counsel for all parties (City, Agency,
and Olson) Rutan & Tucker must notify its affected clients of the situation, assure them that its loyalty
and quality of work will not be influenced by factors other than the client's best interest, and obtain
each client's informed written consent. That is the subject of this joint Resoultion.
Thus for, the work performed by Rutan & Tucker on various legal matters has been more than
satisfactory and has greatly assisted City and Agency operotions. Furthermore, stoff has reviewed the
potential conflict of interest mentioned above and believes Rutan & Tucker's assertion that it would not
impair its ability to provide the highest quolity legal representation. Therefore, stoff recommends thot
the City and Agency approve the informed consent ogreement waving any conflict of interest arising
from Rutan & Tucker's representation of adverse clients in unrelated matters and continue to employ
its services. If, over time, the conflict of interest being waived become too direct or untenoble, the City
and Agency would, reserve the right to withdraw the waiver ond terminate Runtan & Tucker as counsel
or osk the firm to discontinue representing The Olson Company.
Finally, any new legal representation Rutan & Tucker enters into with the City, Agency, or other clients
will continue to be evaluated for possible conflicts of interest, and if necessary, a new informed
consent ond waiver will be secured in each instance.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated fiscal impoct connected with approval of this Resolution.

Re: Pisclos¡¡re of Conflict oflnlerest and Request for Waiver
Pear Glen:
AS a follow-¡¡p to our telephone conversation today I am writing to request approval by
me City of Chula Vista ("City") and Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency ("Agency")
(collectively, "Chula Vista") of me conflict waiver set fonh below. As we discussed, Rulan &
T¡¡cker represents The Olson Company ("Olson") on some of the redevelopment housing
projects it undertakes. Olson is commencing discussions with Barone Galasso & Associates
Incorporate4 that it hopes will lead to a housing project in Chula Vista involving for-sale and
apartment units. Olson has requested that I represent it with respect to that project. We
anticipate Agency inyolvemenl in the project and entitlement processing witb me City.
The conflict waiver issue arises because the Agency recenTly engaged Rlnan & Tucker to
assist it with its redevelopment plan amendment process. We also provide legal services to the
City on cable television maners.
The client relationships described above implicate Rule 3-310 of the California Stale Bar
with respect to confUcts of mterest. Thus in the interest of full disclosure we respectfully ask for
Chula Vista's infonned written waiver of any actUal or potential conflict of Interest ansmg from
Rutan & Tucker representing The Olson Company adverse to Chula Vista while at the same time
representing the Agency on the redevelopment plan amendments (and other matters !.Iorelated to
the Olson project) on the City on cable television matters (and other matters unrelated to the
Olson project).
