STAFF REPORTS
ITEM 5 (0630-07)
AUTHORIZATION FOR
POWAY VALLEY SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORP.
(PVSCC) DRAW FUNDS FROM
SENIOR CENTER ENDOWMENT FUND
City Manager Bowersox reviewed the staff report. On June 22, 2004,the City Council
directed staff to enter into a contract with a consultant to assess a proposal submitted by
Sherrie Anne Goldby, Executive Director of the Poway Senior Center (PSC), for financial
support of PSC operations. At that time, it was anticipated that the study would be
presented to Council by December, which aligned with the five month access to the
endowment principal. With the item now anticipated for a January 2005 City Council
meeting, PSC will likely face a period of time that revenues will run short of expenses. By
allowing PSC two additional monthly draws of no more than $15,000 each from the
endowment fund principal while awaiting City Council's review of the consultant's study, the
City ensures that PSC operations remain funded for the months of December and January
No one spoke concerning this item.
Motion by Councilmember Boyack, seconded by Councilmember Rexford to authorize the
release of up to two additional withdrawals from the PVSCC endowment fund principal of
up to $15,000 per month for the months of December and January; that each request be
sent to the Director of Community Services accompanied by a complete accounting of
revenues and expenditures; and that the Director of Community Services limit the
authorized withdrawal to the current month's anticipated shortfall, or $15,000, whichever is
less; and further, that staff bring back to the City Council in January 2005, the specific
accounting of the funds and a work plan timetable. Motion carried 5-0,
CITY MANAGER ITEMS

Chambers will be refined over the next few weeks and an orientation of the system
