Council discussion ensued. In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Morrison stated that fees

Motioned by Councilmember Cunningham, seconded by Deputy Mayor Leonard to
close the public and 1) adopt Resolution No. 17-071 entitled “A Resolution of the City
Council of the City of Poway, California, Amending the Facility Rental Fees within the
Community Services Section of the Master Fee Schedule;” 2) adopt Resolution No.
17-072 entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California,
Amending the Community Services Department Facility Use Rules and Regulations
Policy and Repealing Resolutions No. 14-017 and No. 14-067;” and 3) adopt
Resolution No. 17-073 entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway,
California, Amending the Community Services Department Programming and Facility
Use Fee Policy and Repealing Resolution No. 14-018.” Motion carried unanimously.
3.2 Amendment to FY 2018-19 Community Development Block Grant Program
Development Services Director Bob Manis presented the report. Mr. Manis stated that
following Council approval on October 17, 2017 for the FY 2018-19 Community
Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), alternative options became available for
funding applications for the program. Staff is recommending amending the CDBG
application to reduce the amount for the HomeShare and Community Connections Program
and include a new application for the 2-1-1 San Diego program, which would allow for an
increase in the amount of funding for the ADA barrier removal improvements at Lake Poway
and other City parks. Prior to the June 2018 expiration of the contract with ElderHelp for
the HomeShare and Community Connections Program, staff will issue a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for services. The RFP will seek proposals for services within the amount
designated $16,000.
Deborah Martin, representing ElderHelp, spoke in opposition to reduced funding for the
program.
Council discussion ensued. Councilmember Cunningham stated that he would like to know
whether we would be able to adjust this grant mid-year should ElderHelp and other entities
that provide RFP responses come back with an amount in excess of $16,000. If that is not
the case, then he wouldn’t support this item. Councilmember Cunningham stated that he
could support staff recommendation while keeping the parameters he addressed in mind.
City Manager Tina White clarified that an RFP will be issued, asking proposers to indicate
what services can be provided within the $16,000 allotted, rather than issuing an RFP with
a specific scope of services and asking the proposer how much they would charge.
Motioned by Councilmember Mullin, seconded by Councilmember Grosch, to close
the public hearing and 1) reauthorize staff to apply for FY 18-19 funding through the
County as amended; 2) reauthorize the appropriation of $150,737 to the CDBG Fund
(241) from the General Fund (100) to fund the proposed FY 18-19 CDBG Program upon
approval by the County; 3) reauthorize the reallocation of $159 in CDBG funds from
previous grant years to fund the proposed FY 18-19 CDBG program upon approval
by the County; and 4) authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with the
County. Motion carried unanimously.
