4. STAFF REPORT
4.1 Mickey Cafagna Community Center Status Update and Appropriation of Funds for
Construction and Support of the Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation During
Construction of the Community Center
Director of Development Services Bob Manis presented a slideshow, and video walk-through
tour of the Community Center. Mr. Manis stated that the architect has nearly completed the
construction documents for both "hybrid" and "hybrid plus" floorplans and that the City is
ready to apply for a building permit and submit final construction documents for plan check.
Mr. Manis stated that final construction cost estimates for both floorplans exceed the current
budget for the project and additional funding must be appropriated for either of the two
floorplans. The City anticipates going out to bid in April, and the "hybrid plus" floorplan will
be included as an additive option in the bid documents. Construction is anticipated to begin
in July 2019, lasting approximately 18-24 months.
Director of Community Services Brenda Sylvia followed with a presentation on the City's
transition plan during construction. Ms. Sylvia stated that accommodations and solutions
for most programs have been found and that the Senior Center has successfully identified
a space to lease with only limited compromise to programming. Additionally, the Poway
Senior Center has requested funding in the amount of $388,822 to assist in the costs of
operation during the transitional period. City operations will shut down on May 31, 2019 and
the Senior Center will shutdown on June 15, 2019.
Assistant City Manager Wendy Kaserman stated that funds could be appropriated from the
unappropriated General Fund balance and the Capital Improvement Fund to bridge the
funding gap and go out to bid for the "hybrid" floorplan. This option does not require any
type of repayment. Ms. Kaserman explained that in order to bridge the funding gap for the
0626
City of Poway — Minutes — February 19, 2019
"hybrid plus" floorplan, Council would need to appropriate the remaining funds from the
General Fund Reserves, creating a new financial obligation requiring repayment to the
General Fund Reserves, which staff does not recommend.
On behalf of the Mickey Cafagna Ad Hoc Committee, Councilmember Mullin expressed their
support and satisfaction with the overall building design and construction cost estimates and
highlighted the Committee's focus on cost savings.
Leslie Hoffman requested Council to consider the Hybrid Plus Floor Plan.
Cynthia Elizondo, President of the Poway Senior Center, spoke in support of staff's
recommendation and thanked City staff and the members of the Ad Hoc Committee for
assisting in a transitional plan with minimal impacts to current programs.
Janet Lettang inquired about a family restroom and ADA compliance.
Development Services Director Bob Manis confirmed that the building is ADA compliant and
will contain a family restroom. In response to Council inquiry, Special Projects Engineer Jeff
Beers stated that the construction cost estimates include a 10% construction contingency.
Council expressed support for providing temporary financial assistance to the Poway Senior
Center so they can continue to provide services to seniors while the community center is
being constructed. The City Council also expressed support for appropriating sufficient
funds to bid the "hybrid" floorplan with the acknowledgement that final floorplan selection
will not be made until the City Council awards the contract for construction in June 2019.
Motioned by Councilmember Mullin, seconded by Councilmember Leonard to 1)
appropriate funding to bridge the funding gap between the already approved funding
and the most current construction cost estimates for the "hybrid" floorplan and to
include the "hybrid plus" floorplan as an additive element in the bid documents; 2)
appropriate $288,822 for the Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation (PVSCC) for
financial support during the construction period; and 3) direct staff to include in the
FY 19-20 and FY 20-21 operating budgets $50,000 for each fiscal year to support the
Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation so it may continue to provide services to
seniors during construction of the Community Center. Motion passed unanimously.
