7. Senior Services at the Mickey Cafagna Community Center
3 of 5 March 2, 2021, Item #2
City of Poway -Minutes -February 2, 2021
Assistant City Manager Wendy Kaserman presented the report and explained that the Poway
Senior Center closed as a result of the ongoing global pandemic which opened an opportunity
for the City and the Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation (PVSCC) Board to re-evaluate
the operating model and the delivery of senior services in Poway. Ms. Kaserman explained
that after the PVSCC Board approached the City about the potential for the City to provide
senior services, staff agreed that, in partnership with PSVCC, the City will assume
responsibility for providing senior services and programming once the new Mickey Cafagna
Community Center opens. Ms. Kaserman further explained that staff anticipates that services
will mostly be provided through contracts and that the City will not be adding new staff to
support this programming. Additionally, she added that the PVSCC Board plans to maintain
its non-profit status and continue to fundraise and provide ongoing funds to the City to offset
costs associated with providing senior services. She concluded that the City and PVSCC are
working on a memorandum of understanding to establish roles and responsibilities for each
entity that will be brought forward for City Council approval at a future meeting.
Cynthia Elizondo, President of the PVSCC Board, expressed the Board's support for the City
to operate and provide senior services to the community. Ms. Elizondo announced the Board's
plans to fundraise to financially support the City run senior programming.
Pete Babich, via teleconference, inquired about meeting accommodations for the Poway
Sheriff Senior Volunteer Patrol at the new community center.
Yuri Bohlen, via teleconference, expressed financial concerns with the City providing senior
services.
Council expressed enthusiasm and support for the City to provide senior services and
programming to the community and continue to partner with the Poway Senior Center to
deliver those services once the new community center opens.

City of Poway-Minutes -February 2, 2021
Yuri Bohlen, via teleconference, spoke in support of allowing thrift stores in the mixed-use
and town center zones.
Councilmember Frank clarified that her intent was to also include the Commercial Office zone
in the proposal.
Council discussion ensued regarding current permitted zones for thrift stores versus the
existing zones for antique and consignment stores. Council noted concerns with allowing thrift
stores in the town center and mixed-use zones. However, after further discussion, Council
expressed support for expanding opportunities for thrift stores similar to antique and
consignment stores with the approval of a conditional use permit.
In response to Council's inquiry, Director of Development Services Bob Manis confirmed that
thrift stores are currently allowed in Commercial General (CG) and Automotive/Commercial
General (A/CG) with the approval of a conditional use permit. He further explained that antique
and consignment stores do not require a conditional use permit and, in addition to the CG and
A/CG zones, are permitted to operate in the Commercial Office (CO) zone.

Poway Road Specific Plan to allow thrift stores in the Commercial Office (CO) zone with
