Member Zappetini announced he had a conflict of interest regarding this item and
would not be participating.
Assistant Executive Director Jake Ours reported that for a number of years, the
Agency has been assembling a number of parcels on C Street, between Second and
Third, for a future housing sight, and this property is one of the key parcels to
that assemblage. He noted the site is a former gas station owned by the Murray
Trust. The agreement protects the City and Redevelopment Agency against any
possible problems relating to the former use, and testing is going on that we have
the right to review. Mr. Ours stated that if we do not like the results, we can
cancel the agreement.
Member Thayer asked if the property will sit as a vacant lot. Mr. Ours stated there
is another lot next to this one that we may buy, and if so, his recommendation would
be to pave both pieces of property and use them as a parking lot and use the cash

flow for the housing fund. He noted this has been an unattractive site for a number
of years, and the least we will do is make it look better.
Member Heller asked if there is a tentative soils report. Mr. Ours stated there have
been a number of soils reports and quite a bit of mitigation already performed. He
noted the only thing left that is not clear is one small area on a piece of land
that the Agency already owns. The tests were done about a month ago, and the results
should be here any day, and will be reviewed by Hazard Materials Officer Forrest
Craig. Mr. Ours re-emphasized that we will not go through with the sale if there is
any problem.
Member Heller moved and Member Thayer seconded, to adopt a Resolution approving the
purchase of property at 1221 Third Street.
