I reiterate the comments made in the attached letters, <br />which are by this reference incorporated here in full. The lands subject to the 15 Purchase and Sale Agreements on the <br />Council's agenda today are surplus lands under the definition of the Surplus Land Act, Government Code section <br />54222(b). The City may not dispose of these lands until it has followed the Act's procedures. Because the it has not <br />followed those procedures, the sales contemplated in the 15 agreements are illegal. We therefore urge you to reject <br />these proposals, rescind your previous actions concerning these lands, and commit to complying with the Act. If you do <br />approve the Purchase and Sale Agreements, we will immediately seek an order enjoining the sales. <br />Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. <br />Yours, <br />Gabriel Ross. <br />Gabriel M.B.
