Mayor Goldsmith explained the procedure for Public Oral Communications. He stated

plant sites by the Clean Water Program and explained why they have five sites on
their list, including two in South Poway, even though the Eastgate Mall site seems
to be the most logical.

projects within the City of Poway with our City Council's approval which was not
made clear at the Clean Water Program meeting last week at Pomerado School.
