date of yard, multiple-family and commercial waste recycling from October 1,
1994 to January 1, 1995, to coincide with the start of our franchise. Mr.

ITEM 8 (1170-08)
STATUS RE: PURCHASE OF RECLAIMED WATER
FROM CITY OF ESCONDIDO
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of
Engineering Services Weston. The City of Escondido is designing a reclaimed
water distribution system and upgrading the Hale Avenue Treatment Plant. The
reclaimed water produced from the plant will be sold and delivered through
Escondido's distribution pipeline system. Pursuant to Council's direction at
the December 10, 1991 meeting, staff has been conducting a Preliminary Master
Plan Study and holding initial discussions to evaluate the purchase of reclaimed
water for irrigation demands in north Poway. The results of the preliminary
Master Plan indicate that purchasing reclaimed water from the City of Escondido
is a cost-competitive step. Staff recommends the following steps be taken:
finalize the Master Plan; initiate an Environmental Impact Report for the
distribution system; develop draft agreements with the City of Escondido, the
City of San Diego, and the County Water Authority for the purchase and
transmission of reclaimed water; investigate low interest loans through the
State Revolving Fund; submit permit applications to the Regional Water Quality
Control Board; authorize the use of $120,000 of budgeted funds for the water
reclamation project to complete this work; and approval of benefit resolutions.
Council discussion included ensuring that the costs for purchasing reclaimed
water from the City of Escondido do not exceed the current market rates for
treated water.
Jerry Hargarten, 13622 Orchard Gate Road, suggested language be included in the
preliminary intent to purchase contract that our price will be no higher than
another customer who buys equal or smaller quantities.
City Engineer Weston stated that the capital and operational costs of the deli-
very of reclaimed water will be more easily identified at the time of completion
of the Environmental Impact Report and Final Master Plan.

ITEM 9 (602-01 #928)
AGREEMENT WITH RAMONA MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the February 25, 1992 meeting,
Council directed staff to prepare an emergency water supply agreement with the
Ramona Municipal District. The agreement provides for the City to treat up to
4 MGD of water for Ramona during aqueduct shutdown periods. Ramona will reserve
up to 1,000 acre feet of storage in Lake Ramona for Poway's use during an
emergency. Staff recon~nends approval.
Motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to adopt
staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 10 (1503-00)
REVISED DRAFT REGIONAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT STUDY
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning
Services Wright-Quastler. SANDAG has requested that local jurisdictions approve
the Revised Draft Regional Growth Management Study and Consistency Checklist
prepared pursuant to Proposition C, Regional Growth Management Strategy, which
was approved by the voters in November, 1988. The Revised Draft includes the
quality of life factors identified in the original ballot measure: transporta-
tion management, solid waste disposal, water reclamation, sewage disposal, and
air quality. In addition to these, sensitive lands preservation, open space
protection, hazardous waste management, and housing have been added by the Blue
Ribbon Committee. Staff recommends approval of the Revised Draft Regional
Growth Management Study and that Council direct staff to complete the Local/
Regional Consistency Checklist for the Regional Growth Management Strategy and
Congestion Management Program for Council review.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Bruce Tarzy, 15912 Ranch Hollow Road, President, Green Valley Civic
Association
Susan Callery, 13065 Edina Way, Community Protection Chairman, Green Valley
Civic Association
Hal Keltner, 16761Martincoit Road
Jerry Hargarten, 13622 Orchard Gate Road
Speakers expressed the following concerns regarding the Revised Draft: crime
and schools are not included as Quality of Life factors; the document goes
beyond the intent of Proposition C; it promotes growth and is not compatible
with the community's philosophy of controlled growth; and assuming 60% popula-
tion growth by 2015 and that those impacts will not affect the "quality of life"
is unreasonable.
4549
Page 7 - CITY OF POWAY - Aprll 28, 1992
Mayor Goldsmith pointed out that this is not a plan, but step one of a two-step
process. Step two will be the Series 8 population forecasts that will be used
to show impacts on traffic, etc. Then the plan will have to be formalized. He
suggested we discuss ways to eliminate state and federal mandates to accommodate
growth.
Councilmember McIntyre expressed concern that approval of this document is
"buying into" a continued direction accommodating increased growth. Proposition
C only addressed cooperating on infrastructure such as transportation, solid
waste, sewer and water, and air quality, not housing. It is forcing communities
to grow.
City Attorney Eckis expressed a legal concern regarding adopting the strategy on
Page 29, #1, regarding the regional share objective since the City Council has
taken a position in the past as being opposed to this type of legislation.
Following Council discussion, motion by Councilmember McIntyre, seconded by
Councilmember Emery, to not approve the Revised Draft Regional Growth Management
Study, and direct staff to bring back resolution confirming action of denial
based upon the findings that housing was included as a Quality of Life factor
while not being mentioned in Proposition C, the lack of a timetable for Phase I
as required by Proposition C, and the desire to strengthen local control in the
decision making process to determine how much a community will grow. Motion
carried unanimously.
ITEM 11 (203-10)
APPEAL OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 92-06
OWNER: SAHIR HADDAD/APPLICANT: GREEN VALLEY
ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
City Manager Bowersox stated that the applicant of the appeal, Green Valley
Estates Homeowner's Association, has requested that this item be removed from
calendar.
Motion by Councilmember Hlgglnson, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to remove
this item from calendar. Motion carried unanimously.
