ITEM 3 (1110-01)
SCRIPPS POWAY PARKWAY ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW/DESIGN
SYCAMORE CANYON ROAD TO HIGHWAY 67
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of
Engineering Services Weston. Since the fall of 1991 engineering and
environmental studies have been proceeding by Boyle Engineering, Inc.and Ogden
Environmental. They have been coordinating with CalTrans, City of San Diego,
County of San Diego, and Fish & Wildlife. Meetings have also been held with the
area residents. Four potential alignments were originally identified and
studied, resulting in 3 proposed alignments. A is the northerly alignment and
connects to Highway 67 at Iron Mountain Road; B1 is the center alignment and
connects to Highway 67 at Rio Maria Road; D is the southerly alignment. Cost
estimates in today's dollars are $53 million for A and $28 million for either B1
or D. He reviewed the schedule which shows a completion date at the end of 1996.
There will a combination of funding sources including TransNet, developer fees,
SB 300 funds, Redevelopment Agency, and the County. We have to process a General
Plan Amendment to the County's Circulation Element once an alignment is chosen
which comes when the Environmental Impact Report is certified. He reviewed what
the Council will be seeing on their tour which is scheduled for Saturday at 10:00
a.m.
Following discussion, Council concurred to start the tour at City Hall at 11 a.m.
rather than 10 a.m. due to conflicts with individual Councilmembers' schedules.

ITEM 4 (705-00)
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT POLICIES
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Public
Services Archibald. On February 25, 1992, the City Council requested that a Blue
Ribbon Committee be formed to develop policies relating to specific Landscape
Maintenance District issues. Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution adopting
new, existing, and amended policies, including disbanding the Committee as a
standing Committee and establishing it annually to review the Engineer's Report,
award of bids and budget.
Gordon Meyer, chairperson of the LMD Committee, presented the Committee's
findings to the City Council.
City Attorney Eckis stated his concerns regarding the conflicts of interest of
Committee members. These conflicts exist for the very reason the members are
appointed; they have a financial interest in the Committee's work. He suggested
the resolution be amended to say "The LMD Advisory Committee may be appointed as
an ad Hoc Committee..." City Manager Bowersox pointed out that the Hughes, Heiss
Management Audit suggested that this Committee exist only in an ad hoc manner.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna to adopt
Resolution No. 93-026, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City
of Poway, California Approving New and Amended Policies For the Landscape
Maintenance Districts and Rescinding Resolution No. 92-39." Motion carried
unanimously.
