REFUNDING 1991 CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION

Consumers Price Index rent increase approved by the Housing Commission will still
be effective on May 1, 1994.
Councilmember Callery stated that the bond market is stable and we don't have to
be in a hurry to refund these bonds in order to get a good rate. The City

WINDOW AND BANNER SIGNS

Tacos complained regarding code enforcement on temporary window signage. Staff
agrees that the Municipal Code does not provide clear guidelines and is proposing
certain revision, including deletion of 30 day limit but leaving the total area
restriction. Staff recommends an ordinance be prepared amending the Sign
Ordinance.
Council requested that staff also look at the prohibition on searchlights for
grand openings.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Callery to prepare a
draft ordinance for City Council consideration that would delete Section
17.40.090.2.b and amend Section 17.40.190.B, in addition to allowing neon as
accents. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 9.2 (704-10)

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS
1SA.
Councilmember Emery reported that the MTDB Finance Committee has proposed
that the TDA funds be pooled and not attributed to individual members in
order to provide more funding for mass transit. Those cities that do not
have mass transit object. Any change would require a unanimous vote of
the MTBD Board or special legislation. Council concurred with his
suggestion that we ask Assemblyman Goldsmith to keep alert to any
legislation that would provide such a change.
20A. Councitmember Snesko requested that we ask CalTrans to restripe the access
to 1-15 from Scripps Poway Parkway. Council concurred that staff

and Councilmember Snesko should contact CalTrans with their suggestions.

Worker Committee was a part-time Hispanic liaison and we should be hiring
such a person. He stated that the immigrants need some education on our

a report from staff regarding the problem including the process and cost
for eradicating migrant camps.
20C.
Councilmember Snesko gave his vision of Poway, including a water park in
the South Poway Business Park. He made a motion to place a measure on the
June 7, 1994 ballot to change the zoning to allow a water park. There was
no second.
Council requested a report from staff regarding the cost and deadlines for
a measure on the June and November, 1994 ballots. Mayor Higginson
