ITEM 5 (602-01, #199)
GOLDEN WAY SEWER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. The City Attorney has determined that the reimbursement agreement
5032
Page 3 - CITY OF POWAY - November 2, 1993
prepared by staff for the sewer main construction in Golden Way is not
appropriate. Staff is recommending this item be removed from calendar in order
for staff to review other funding mechanisms.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
James Francella, 13103 Golden Way, urged staff to expedite this project as
they are having problems with their septic system.
Motion by Councilmember Cafagna, seconded by Councilmember Emery to remove this
item from calendar. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 6 (401-22)
YOUTH RECREATION SCHOLARSHIPS
Staff report by Director of Community Services Thomas. This program would
provide scholarships to subsidize the recreation class fees of Poway resident
youth who are in need of financial assistance in order to participate. Funds to
support this program will be solicited from corporations, service clubs, and
individuals. Program criteria have been established, based on input from other
cities in the County and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee.
(Councilmember Cafagna left the room during this report.)
Motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by Councilmember Callery to approve the
Youth Recreation Scholarship Program. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember
Cafagna out of the room.
ITEM 7 (1403-13)
RECYCLING MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The California Integrated Waste
Management Board is soliciting applications for designation as a Recycling Market
Development Zone (RMDZ) which would require an agency to identify additional
incentives to recycling and recycled product manufacturing businesses to locate
within the RMDZ. Staff from North County cities have begun discussions regarding
benefits of obtaining such a designation collectively. Approval from each City
Council is required to proceed further.
Motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by Councilmember Emery to adopt
Resolution No. 93-159, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City
of Poway, California Approving the Development of an Application to the
California Integrated Waste Management Board for Recycling Market Development
Zone Designation," direct staff to investigate and report on the opportunities
and benefits of participation, and assist in the preparation of an application
to be approved by the City Council. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember
Cafagna out of the room.

CITY MANAGER ITEMS
14.
City Manager Bowersox reported that the fire in the north part of the city
has burned 1,500 acres but there were no residences lost. The source of
the fire has not been determined.
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS
19.
Mayor Higginson asked that his item of discussion of permanent solid waste
entity be continued to November 16, 1993 since the November 5, 1993
Interim Commission's workshop has been rescheduled to later in the month.
20A. Speaking under Councilmember Snesko's item of change in revenue split
between City and contract recreation instructors were the following:
Marlys West, 12813 Selma Court, 8 year instructor of "Let's Make Music
Class" through the Community Services Department.
Sharon Mello, 13805 Paseo Cevera, San Diego, co-instructor with Ms. West.
Deborah Childress, 714 S. Citrus, Escondido, children's dance instructor
through the Community Services Department.
Speakers suggested the Council needs to decide if these classes are to
provide a service or make money. They objected to the decrease in their
portion of the class revenue and cited communication problems with staff
and problems with the registration process.
Councilmember Snesko suggested staff needs to meet with the instructors.
He stated the cost cited by the City for their staff time per hour of
class is too high and the City should pay for the insurance for the
classes, not require the instructors to provide their own insurance.
City Manager Bowersox stated this is a broad policy issue and the MSI
report approved by the City Council on April 22, 1993 proposed that the
City recover a greater percentage of its costs for the recreation
programs. This new revenue split with the instructors works towards that
goal.
Mayor Higginson requested a report from staff on the issues raised by the
instructors, and the policies adopted with the MSI report.
2OB.
Councilmember Snesko stated he had met with Sheriff Roache three weeks ago
to request a six month trial of taking into custody persons committing
misdemeanors that do not have identification and booking them in the same
manner as drunk drivers. City Manager Bowersox stated the Sheriff or his
representative will be at the November 9, 1993 meeting.

Gerardo Camacho, 14291 Mariana Drive, stated the Sheriff should not be
asked to determine if a person is in this country legally since the only
way to prove legal citizenship is with a certified birth certificate or a
passport and very few citizens carry those documents with them. This is
a problem for the Federal government to solve, not the City of Poway.
