HOUSING
Affordable Housing Property Sale

current homeowner submitted all required documents on May 10th notifying the Housing Authority
of their intent to sell their home. The restricted resale price of the 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has been
set at $505,565. The Authority has elected not to exercise its option to purchase the property and
the homeowner was notified on June 24th. Since that time, staff has worked to develop an outreach
plan, find participating program lenders, and determine pre-qualification requirements. Marketing of
the home begins July 1st and the application submission period is July 13-31. Based on program
requirements, all City staff and first responders, PUSD employees and residents of affordable
housing rental units, along with a separate list of 48 individuals who elected to be placed on an

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Rattlesnake Creek Integrity Study
Staff comments on the draft report have been addressed and the final report was issued and
accepted. The creek assessment revealed erosive potential was high during peak rain events and
would be decreased, but not eliminated, through the recommended rehabilitation projects. The
recommendations will be used for development of future CIP drainage projects in that section of the
creek.
Mickey Cafagna Community Center
The classroom block foundation and slab were placed and are now being touched up and protected
while waiting for framing to begin. Framing continues on the exterior walls of the multi-purpose block
along with the placement of structural steel and the large span glue-lam beams across the
Auditorium. Onsite water improvements have been completed on the west side of the project.
2019-2020 Street Overlay Project
This week the replacement of the intersection pedestrian ramps continues and will require lane
closures in the eastbound direction on Twin Peaks Road between Midland Road and Espola Road.
Street patching will start on July 6th and will require lane closures on Espola Road from Sandhill
Street to Titan Way, from Twin Peaks Road to Poway Road and on Twin Peaks Road from Midland
Road to Espola Road.
LAND DEVELOPMENT
Stampfl Residence
The City has received the owner-signed proposed trail easement along Crocker Road. The easement
for the trail is required as a part of the conditions of approval for the single-family residence being
built at the corner of Golden Sunset Lane and Crocker Road. The City will record the easement
once all City staff signatures are complete.

preparing the Encroachment Removal Agreement document.
Nathanson Residence
The City has received the first submittal of the grading plan package for the single-family residence
proposed on Del Poniente Road.
STORMWATER
Illicit Discharge
Staff previously reported that the Outpost project had an illicit discharge to Rattlesnake Creek
beginning on May 21st. This project has a permit with the State Water Board for dewatering
groundwater. Muddy groundwater was discharged into the storm drain system and ultimately into
the creek without any filtration. Engineering Inspection staff issued an immediate stop work notice
to cease construction activity, cease the discharge into the storm drain system, and focus on
remediation of the groundwater filtering system. Staff notified the Regional Water Quality Control
Board of the illicit discharge, as required, within 24 hours. Construction did not cease and the
discharge into the creek continued. Engineering Inspection staff issued another immediate stop
work notice because staff was aware that “chocolate milk” looking water was continuing to discharge
into Rattlesnake Creek. City staff members met with the construction team to discuss the issues
and provide recommendations for cleanup and alternate discharge locations until the groundwater
was able to be completely filtered within compliance regulations again. Although construction did
then cease temporarily, groundwater pumping and the discharge continued through the holiday
weekend. City staff issued citations to the owner and contractor for the continuous violations. The
Regional Water Quality Control Board conducted a site visit with City staff as well to assess the
situation and gather information for their own investigation. Since then, staff has worked closely with
the contractor for Outpost and the Regional Board to resolve the issues and make sure construction
can continue without pollution. The stop work notice has been lifted. The Regional Board just
completed its investigation and issued the owner a Notice of Violation. This includes several
requirements to clean up, monitor and ensure no more pollution into the creek.
FEMA Community Rating System
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides federally backed flood insurance within
communities that enact and enforce floodplain regulations. To qualify for the NFIP, a community
must adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to regulate development in flood hazard
areas. Additionally, the Community Rating System (CRS) is a national program developed by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through which communities can be rewarded with
discounted flood insurance premiums by doing more than simply meeting minimum national
standards. To participate in the CRS program, city staff must implement activities to reduce flood
damage to existing buildings, manage development in areas not mapped by the NFIP, protect new
buildings beyond the minimum NFIP protection level, preserve and/or restore natural functions of
floodplains, help insurance agents obtain flood data, and help residents obtain flood insurance.
Through the City’s participation in the CRS program, residents currently receive a 10% discount on
their flood insurance premiums. Each year, the City must recertify that it is continuing to implement
the activities for which it has earned credit and meets the requirements for its level of
participation. City staff is currently working on this recertification package to submit to FEMA in
August.

INSPECTION
Outpost
Poway Road (G18-0002) (STI18-001) – The last section of the bottom floor of the garage is being
placed this week. Last week the contractor removed the additional settling tank that was placed to
aid the existing groundwater pumping system. The contractor has been testing regularly for dissolved
solids, oxygen content, and PH balance to ensure there are no issues. They have been permitted to
discontinue hourly groundwater testing when one full day of field testing is within allowable limits.
The contractor has confirmed that tests have been good for the past two days.
Aria Estates
Danes Road (G19-0009) (WI19-003) - Last week the contractor completed the first two retaining wall
footings. Footing steel and excavation were inspected and concrete placed.
Sanchez Guest House
Rostrata Hill (MDRA14-036) - A correct work notice was issued due to cement material being washed
out in several locations and the wash out basin overflowing. The contractor made corrections and
was re-inspected.
Vantage Point
Kirkham Way (G18-0008) (STI18-003) - Last week the contractor shut down the water main and
extended it and relocated two fire hydrants closer to building A based on an approved construction
change. The driveway approach on General Atomics Way was placed. Subgrade preparation, Class
II base and asphalt was placed and compacted on the private driveway access. The contractor
completed installation of bollards around all pertinent fire hydrants, Fire Department Connections
(FDC) and other water appurtenances.

Various Intersections (STI 19-001, RW20-0067 & RW20-0068) – Last week the contractor completed
overnight signal shutdowns to complete signal modifications at two intersections: Danielson Street

water service and will now need to replace the service from the main to the meter. Dry utility
installations have begun along Oak Knoll Road. Last week the contractor was given a correct work

corrections needed. The foreman of the crew will now need to set up the traffic control as other crew
members were not qualified or properly trained to do so.
