EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH TOM TRULIS (PARCEL 5 OF PARCEL MAP

Director Jones advised he would abstain on this item due to a conflict of interest relating to its
proximity to his business/residence.
Written Communication:
Report dated October 6, 1998, from the Senior Management Analyst II, advising that in
1990, the Redevelopment Agency negotiated an Agreement for Exchange of Real Property
to exchange 2 acres owned by Tom Trulis in the Los Rios District for 6 acres owned by the
Agency in the Lower Rosan Ranch, in order to relocate Mr. Trulis' business, Solag Disposal,
out of the Los Rios site. Opposition to the Solag Disposal use on the Lower Rosan property
led to Mr. Trulis acquiring a site on the Rancho Santa Margarita property off Ortega
Highway in unincorporated county area. Staff negotiated an amendment to the exchange
agreement which abandons the land exchange in lieu of an outright purchase of the Los Rios
property for $1.2 million.
The Senior Management Analyst II made an oral presentation, recommending approval of
the amendment to the Exchange Agreement.

BETWEEN THE CITY AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (TRULIS/PARCEL
5 OF PARCEL MAP 92-123)(600.40)
Director Jones advised he would abstain on this item due to a conflict of interest relating to its
proximity to his business/residence.
Written Communication:
Report dated October 6, 1998, from the Senior Management Analyst II, forwarding a
proposed loan agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency to loan the Agency
the $400,000 down payment for its purchase of Tom Trulis' Los Rios property, known as
Parcel 5 of Parcel Map 92-123. The report advised that in 1990 Mr. Trulis and the Agency
entered into an agreement to exchange 6 acres owned by the Agency, known as a portion of
the Lower Rosan Ranch, for 2 acres owned by Mr. Trulis in the Los Rius District, in order
to facilitate the move of Mr. Trulis' business, Solag Disposal, out of the Los Rios area.
Since that time, Mr. Trulis has obtained a site on the Rancho Santa Margarita property in the
County unincorporated area off Ortega Highway and has relocated the majority of his
operations to that site. Mr. Trulis no longer needs the Lower Rosan site, but does need funds
to develop the new site. Agency staff proposed outright purchase of the Los Rios property.
The Loan will be repaid when the current suspension on certain building permits during the
General Plan update has been lifted and the Lower Rosan Ranch site has been sold.
The Senior Management Analyst II made an oral presentation.
