STAFF REPORTS
11. Approval of Agreement with Feeding the Soul Foundation dba O'side Kitchen Collaborative
to Provide Catering Services for the Older Adult Congregate Meal Program at the Mickey
Cafagna Community Center and Appropriation of Funds
Assistant City Manager Wendy Kaserman presented the report. She explained the City in
partnership with the Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation (PVSCC) took over providing
older adult services when the Mickey Cafagna Community Center (MCCC) opened. The
PVSCC has shifted its focus to activities that generate funding to offset the costs of the City
providing older adult programming, including bingo and operating the ReRuns Resale Shop.
While some structured and unstructured programming is being provided at the MCCC, the
City and PVSCC have been working diligently to resume a congregate meal program.
Unfortunately, the former Poway Senior Center lost the County nutrition grant which had
previously funded the congregate meal program. After speaking with the County, there is no
opportunity for the City to apply for these funds in the near future. Recognizing the importance
of re-establishing a congregate meal program, the City and PVSCC are partnering to offer the
program. The City Council is being asked to approve and an agreement with Feeding the Soul
Foundation dba O'side Kitchen Collaborative (OKC) for adult congregate meals. The program
will be offered Monday through Friday beginning November 1, advance reservations will be
required. Program participants will pay $5 toward the cost of each meal and the PVSCC will
reimburse the City for the remaining $5.50 in meal costs as well as the daily setup fee of $150.
The costs per meal decrease after the first 50 meals in a day. Ms. Kaserman noted this is a
short-term agreement that will provide time for the City to issue a request for proposals to

City of Poway — Minutes — October 19, 2021
select a long-term meal provider. The City will pay the invoices to OKC and then request
reimbursement from the PVSCC for a portion of the costs.
Cynthia Elizondo, President of the Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation, now known as
the Friends of the Poway Seniors, thanked the City Council and spoke in support of the meal
program. Ms. Elizondo noted that the Reruns Resale Shop, one of the major fundraising
endeavors to support senior programming along with Bingo are both not only profitable but
have proven to be good social outlets for seniors in the community. Additionally, she added
that they were recently awarded an IRS grant to provide free tax preparation services to 500
local seniors starting in February 2022.
Yuri Bohlen spoke in support of the agreement, he added that seniors in the community need
this program to feel included.
In response to Council inquiry, Assistant City Manager Wendy Kaserman spoke regarding
funding and explained that Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-Coronavirus grant
money is being used to fund a weekly drive-thru meal program that was originally at the
temporary Poway Senior Center and is now being offered at the MCCC. Program participants
pick-up one week's worth of prepared food to take home. The drive-thru program differs from
the proposed sit-down congregate meal program and will continue until all grant funds are
expended. Ms. Kaserman stated that food for the congregate meal program will be prepared
off -site, transported, and served hot to the members of the community, she added that once
a long-term provider is identified, the goal is to use the commercial kitchen at the MCCC to
prepare meals onsite.
Motioned by Councilmember Frank, seconded by Councilmember Mullin, to approve
the Agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents
associated with the Agreement between the City of Poway and Feeding the Soul
Foundation dba O'side Kitchen Collaborative (OKC) to provide catering services for the
Older Adult Congregate Meal Program at the Mickey Cafagna Community Center and
appropriate funds to pay for the service prior to the City receiving both participant fees
and reimbursement from the Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation. Motion carried
unanimously.
12. Approve the Execution and Delivery of an Installment Purchase Agreement for the Purpose
of Causing the Issuance of Not to Exceed $15,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of Water
Revenue Bonds, Series 2021A, and Approving the Execution and Delivery of Certain
Documents in Connection Therewith and Certain Other Matters.
Director of Finance Aaron Beanan explained Phase 1 of Series 2021 Water Revenue Bonds,
a not -to -exceed $15,000,000 debt issuance, including project financing, it being a level dollar
structure and it being a 30-year term bond. He introduced financing documents including
indenture of trust, installment purchase agreement, and bond purchase agreement. He also
introduced the preliminary official statement, continuing disclosure agreement, along with a
debt management policy and a Standards & Poor's credit rating. He explained this was the
first of three planned debt issuances to finance the Water Infrastructure Improvement Program
and that the other two issuances were being timed and sized based on the project cash flow
needs.
Yuri Bohlen spoke in opposition of the Clearwell Water project and wanted to see reference
to discussions of the water project prior to August 6, 2019.

In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Beanan further explained the recourse if the Agreement
was not approved by the Council. Mr. Beanan stated there were two possible options. The
first option would be to pursue other projects with pay as you go financing requiring a 45%
rate increase in the first year to fund 70 million dollars' worth of projects. The second option
would be to do nothing leaving the water infrastructure as is. He spoke about how the different
funds listed in the Bond Purchase Agreement, with the exception of the rate stabilization fund,
will help to segregate the assets on the Trustee's end, not City side, as we make debt service
payments. We are required to maintain a certain level of debt service coverage. As we make
payments to the rate stabilization funds from prior year excess revenue, we have the potential
to roll over the prior year excess revenues in the rate stabilization fund to help meet our debt
service coverage requirements without requiring a rate increase. He stated there are call
protection provisions to give investors' confidence on the shorter maturities that we are not
going to call their bonds and shorten their investment. He also stated we have the right to
prepay. In the event of the possibility of windfall such as from a grant, we could allocate the
grant funds to reduce the rates.
Motioned by Councilmember Mullin, seconded by Councilmember Grosch, to adopt
Resolution No. 21-085 entitled "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway,
California, Approving the Execution and Delivery of an Installment Purchase
