ITEM 4
SPORTS COMPLEX SITES
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. He stated this is an interim report
and staff recommends the item be continued in order for the Parks and Recreation
Committee to have further review. Staff report by Director of Community
Services Thomas. Council considered this item on January 29 and directed staff
to further evaluate five sites. The Parks & Recreation CoFm~Flittee reviewed the
five sites on February 20 and requested additional information. Staff recom-
mends that after Council reviews the item at this meeting, it be continued until
after the Parks & Recreation Committee's March 20, 1991 meeting.
Council discussed the Kuebler property and what can be done with the floodplain;
public definition of commercial recreation; different needs of children and
youth; and cost of a public golf course.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Snekso to continue this
item to an indefinite date in order for the Parks & Recreation Committee to
consider.
ITEM 5
COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning
Services Wright-Quastler. The General Plan discusses a "multi-faceted town
center" for the block of Poway Road between Community and Midland and that
property carries a separate zoning. Because of projects approved since the
General Plan was adopted, along with the width and traffic volumes of Poway
Road, this area will not function as a pedestrian oriented downtown. Staff is
4092
Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - March 3, 1991
requesting direction regarding the General Plan update and the definition of
this term and suggests the different zoning might be between centers and free
standing buildings along Poway Road.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Dennis Shirrel, 13669 Putney Road, President of the Chamber of Commerce.
He suggested this be done as part of the Poway Road Specific Plan
rather than the General Plan update.
Council concurred that a town center concept could still be viable and an
important part of the marketing plan, but a concept needs to be defined. Motion
by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to create a committee
of two Councilmembers, two Redevelopment Committee members, two Business
Advisory Committee members, and two Chamber of Commerce representatives to meet
with staff and define the concept. Motion carried unanimously. Following the
Committee's work, Council will hold a workshop to discuss this item.
ITEM 6
MIGRANT WORKER HOUSING COMMITTEE CHARTER
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On February 19, 1991, the City Council
directed staff to revise the proposed charter for the re-established Migrant
Worker Relations Committee to make the focus housing and have a timeframe of
four months. Staff has prepared such a charter.
Motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to approve
the Migrant Worker Housing Committee charter. Motion carried unanimously.
Appointments to the Committee will be done under the Mayor's item.
ITEM 7
WATER AVAILABILITY STATUS REPORT
Mayor Goldsmith announced that the water su,~i~it arranged by Supervisor Golding
will be held on Friday, March 15, at 12:30 p.m. at the Scottish Rite Temple in
Mission Valley. Representatives from the County Water Authority, cities, water
districts and the Board of Supervisors will attend. City Attorney Eckis
cautioned the Council that if three or more Councilmembers attend this meeting,
only two should actively participate on Poway's behalf to avoid a perception of
Brown Act violations.
City Manager Bowersox stated that following Metropolitan Water District's
meeting on Monday, March 4, 1991, we now know we are facing a 50% reduction in
water usage. There is enough pumping capacity from the Colorado River to supply
50% of Southern California's normal usage. Staff will be proposing an Ordinance
to adopt the seven stage plan of the Water Authority, replacing our current four
stage plan and to adopt the usage restrictions.
4093

relations and organization skills that will be invaluable as this team does its
job.
Director of Administrative Services Stewart presented a report regarding a water
rate structure which responds to a 50% reduction in supply and provides for
recovery of penalties charged to the city by San Diego County Water Authority if
we exceed our allotment.

industry

users and needs a diverse pricing structure to preserve what Poway is.
Bernard Bogard, 15951 Lime Grove Road, stated he is ready to get a grading

Michael McFarland, 14455 Ipava Drive
RECESS AND CALL TO I)ROER
Mayor Goldsmith recessed the meeting at 9:00 p.m. and called it back to order at
9:10 p.m. with all Councilmembers present.
Linda Brannon, city's representative to the San Diego County Water Authority,
presented a draft of an ordinance which will be considered by the CWA on March
7, with final adoption scheduled for March 14. What they adopt will be our
minimum requirements. Each agency can adopt more restrictive guidelines.
Council and City Attorney requested Mrs. Brannon request the CWA to provide a
model ordinance for the agencies to adopt; to add mobile car washers to
permitted list; define what is meant by "health, safety and welfare," and
indicate what their position will be on hardship appeals.
Council discussion included the need to educate the public on how to read their
water meters and detect leaks; a reward system to use as a rallying point; need
for appeal process; need to look at plumbing code for possible revisions; need
to contact city's highest water users and educate them as to how much water
they're using; and need to educate children.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember
Higginson to concur with initial pricing structure per household to be changed
to persons in the household as soon as staff can gather the data. Motion
carried unanimously. Staff will bring a resolution to Council next week to
confirm this action.

ITEM 7.1
JOINT APPRAISAL WITH PALOMAR COLLEGE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Since late 1989, the city has been
working with the Palomar Community College District to facilitate a satellite
campus in Poway. Property on Pomerado Road has been identified as a potential
site and staff was recon~ending approval of appraisal of the property. As a
result of the February 28 workshop regarding housing it may be desirable to
defer this item since the parcel under discussion is also identified as a poten-
tial housing site.
Speaking in opposition to original staff recommendation:
Hal Keltner, 16761 Martincoit Road, representing the Green Valley Civic
Association, citing traffic caused by college campus.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson to continue
this item to April 2, 1991. Motion carried unanimously.

able to review the mitigation study required under SANDAG's 1990 Regional
