LOADING ZONE
GARDEN ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of
Engineering Services Weston. To accommodate safer passenger drop-off and
pick-up in front of Garden Road Elementary School , the Traffic Safety
Committee recommends approval of a time restricted loading zone adjacent to
the school . The existing crosswalk for the school is at the intersection of
Garden Road and Floral Street, west of the school . When permanent curbs,
gutters and sidewalks are installed on the south side of Garden Road, the
crosswalk can be moved to be more directly in front of the school .
City Manager Bowersox stated that the cost of extending an asphalt sidewalk
and moving the flashing light is approximately 515,000 to 318,000. This item
is on the agenda for the next PUSD/City subcommittee meeting.

STATE BUDGET IMPACTS
PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. In response to Governor Wilson's
proposed 1993-94 State budget which would seize approximately $3.2 million
from Poway, it is recommended that the City Council approve a public
information campaign involving mailers in the water bills, installing
information signs over the water conservation signs, bumper stickers, public
service announcements, press releases and a Powav Todav article. This is
similar to a program put together by the City of Santee and will cost
approximately 54,000.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Callery to approve
the proposed program and appropriate E4,000 from the unappropriated fund
balance for this purpose. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Higginson
suggested that the form letters be revised slightly to better suit the
audience and that the water conservation sign on the west end of Poway Road be
relocated closer to the stop light.
