ITEM 5
ORDINANCE NO. 312 - FIRST READING
SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing and read the title of Ordinance No.
312, "An Ordinance of the City of Poway, California, Adding Section
8.08.140{C).11 to the Poway Municipal Code Prohibiting the Operation of Sound
Amplification Systems Which can be Heard from 50 Feet or More from a Vehicle."
City Manager Bowersox stated that this is in response to a request by the
Council at the December 12, 1989 meeting, to consider concerns expressed by
Betty Rexford regarding noise abatement for car stereo systems. The proposed
Ordinance would prohibit the operation of a sound amplification system which
could be heard more than 5D feet from a vehicle when the vehicle is not in
operation upon a highway. The California Vehicle Code prohibition applies to
vehicles which are being operated upon a highway. This proposal would bring
standards for enforcement for unmoving vehicles on public or private property
into conformity with those in effect for moving vehicles on streets and roads.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Betty Rexford, 11570 Creek Road
Following discussion as to whether or not 50 feet was the appropriate distance,
motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Kruse, to waive further
reading of Ordinance No. 312, continue the public hearing to March 27, 1990, for
second reading, and direct staff to analyze and report back at second reading
regarding the 50 foot distance requirement. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 6
RENTAL RATES FOR POWAY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. The Performing Arts Advisory Committee has reviewed the use of the
Performing Arts Center by outside, third party groups other than the City or the
Poway Unified School District and recommends a rental rate schedule based on
hourly rates and a percentage of gross for six categories. These categories
were based upon whether or not the renter was based within the "service area",
defined as the communities of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel
Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, and Ramona; and whether the renter
qualifies as a nonprofit organization. Staff recommends approval.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Council expressed concern regarding: service area boundaries extending beyond
the Poway Unified School District boundaries, and percentage of gross charged
for private, nonprofit tax exempt organizations.

Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember
Goldsmith, to close the public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. 90-040
entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California,
Establishing the Schedule of Fees for Rental of the Poway Center for the
Performing Arts." Motion carried unanimously with the understanding that this
could be amended at a later date if necessary.
ITEM 7
POWAY HIGH SCHOOL FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA PROGRAM
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the February 6, 1990 meeting, a group
of residents requested that the City Council support their request to re-
establish the Future Farmers of America {FFA) facility on the Poway High School
campus. The Council directed staff to prepare a letter of support for the
return of the FFA program to the high school campus. Staff presented the letter
to the Poway Unified School District {PUSD) Board of Trustees at their February
13, 1990 meeting. At that meeting, the PUSD Board requested their staff report
back at the March 12, 1990 Trustee's meeting. Staff reports that the PUSD Board
discussed concerns regarding parking, increased enrollment, and a still unde-
cided boundary issue as factors in their consideration of relocating to the high
school. They directed the PUSD staff to locate a site for the facility and did
not eliminate consideration of the high school campus.
Councilmember Emery reported that during recent discussions with FFA supporters,
they indicated support for a small animal facility on campus, with the large
animals being located off campus.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Brannon, seconded by Councilmember
Goldsmith, to direct staff to prepare a proposal to be presented to the Poway
Unified School District Board of Trustees in support of a small animal facility
on campus, and a large animal facility located off campus. Motion carried una-
nimously.
ITEM 8
PREPARATION OF A HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On April 11, 1989, the City Council
approved revisions to the Redevelopment Advisory Committee's charter which
expanded their responsibilities to include review during the planning process for
expenditure of the Agency's low/moderate income housing funds. The Committee
determined that an affordable housing needs assessment was necessary prior to
the development of a long-range plan to address the City's actual needs. The
Committee has reviewed proposals from four firms and recommends a contract in
the amount of $37,860 for a Housing Needs Assessment be awarded to
Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc. The scope of the needs assessment includes admi-
nistration of the interviews in both Spanish and English. Staff recommends
approval.
Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to approve staff
recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.

ITEM 8.1
SPORTS FACILITY NEEDS AND POLICIES
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the March 6, 1990 City Council
meeting, residents spoke regarding the need for additional facilities and
playing fields for organized youth sports and opposed any prohibition from using
neighborhood parks for these activities. Council directed staff to report back
at this meeting in order to have an opportunity to give input to the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Committee prior to the Committee's March 21, 1990 meeting.
Items to be discussed by the Committee include: assessment of the need for
additional recreational playing facilities, and consideration of rules and pro-
cedures for the use and scheduling of park facilities. Staff recommends that
the Council provide input to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee con-
cerning park facility needs and the use of park facilities.
Mayor Higginson read a statement from Alan Sugarman, Chairperson of the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Committee, stating that the Committee has placed this
discussion as their first priority and requesting public participation at their
