City Attorney Eckis summarized Mr. Faustman's analysis of the legality of the
use policy and stated that all government buildings do not have to be open on an
unlimited basis to the public. This use policy allows staff to make decisions
on who uses the center on a "non-content" basis.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
George Andreos, 13263 High Valley Road, chairman of the Foundation. He
recommended raising the rental rates for the facility.
Philip Butzen, 12630 Monte Vista Road, presented a letter from David
Faustman. He stated fund raising is easier if the uses are limited and
cited the goals for the Foundation's endowment fund.
Frank Goldsmith, 13027 Avenida La Valencia, chairman of the Performing Arts
Advisory Committee. He stated the Council had made a clear decision to
build a theatre, not an auditorium.
Dick Oliver, 13661 Acorn Patch Lane, chairman of the Foundation's membership
drive.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Larry Griffith, Pastor of North Oaks Community Church, 15110 Avenue of
Science, San Diego, requested that churches be allowed to use
Center for services.
the
Council discussion included Council's intention when it was approved of what the
building was to be used for; what use policies have been adopted for other
performing arts centers; need for a policy on the city's use of the center; need
to reword the policy to make it clear that everything that is not permitted is
prohibited; and desire to monitor the Foundation's fund raising efforts and
financial support of the center's operating costs with an eye towards expanding
the permitted uses if their goals are not met.
Motion by Councllmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to adopt the
mission statement and use policy, as amended under Restricted Uses to read,
"activites not described as permitted in priorities 1-4 shall be restricted from
the use of the Performing Arts Center, including, but not limited to the
following..." and direction to staff to schedule a joint workshop with the
Foundation and Advisory Committee regarding the economic issues. Motion carried
4-0 with Councilmember Higginson absent.
ITEM 4
WATER AVAILABILITY UPDATE
City Manager Bowersox stated that this item will be on every agenda for the next
few weeks since the situation is changing so rapidly. The San Diego County
Water Authority is meeting today and is expected to adopt the Metropolitan Water
District's 30% reduction mandate. Staff will present a report at the February
19, 1991 regular City Council meeting. Council discussed the public's percep-
tion with water use being allowed for construction and golf courses, and
requested staff present information regarding the February water consumption at
