Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. At its September 2, 2003, regular meeting
the City Council requested a report pursuant to Section 9212 of the California Election
Code that allows for an assessment of City Ballot measures, including a review of the
measure's fiscal impact of the City, as well as its effect on the current General Plan,
Specific Plan, zoning, traffic, construction of infrastructure, and any other matters the
City Council deems to be of interest.
This reporting process, pursuant to Section 9212 of the California Election Code, is
not an adequate substitution for a full environmental review. However, it does allow
staff to identify for the City Council and the residents of Poway areas of impacts. It
should be clear, that given the time constraints set forth in Section 9212, it is not
possible for the City Council to develop a detailed analysis of each potential impact
associated with the initiative measure,
City Attorney Eckis responded to questions of the Council.
Item 3 was a receive and file item. There were no objections as filed. Councilmember
Emery was absent.
