novice scientists were busy experimenting with fun as they raced
balloon rocket cars, constructed silly spaghetti structures, got squeaky
clean creating soapy dough, and more! We could not engineer a better
night!
Registrations for the first day of summer were up by 18% versus last year, with
revenues up 17%. Summer swim classes were in high demand after having to
cut spring classes. Due to the extra customer service required with swim
classes and proper placement, we also had more walk-in customers than we
typically see in other seasons.

Spring swim lessons started on May 8 at the Swim Center,
with full rosters in every class. This is the only session of
lessons this spring so full classes were anticipated with large
waitlists. Swim lessons are offered to participants from 6
months to adults and beginning to pre-swim team levels.
The Metropolitan Educational Theatre Network (MET2) has been
presenting performances at the PCPA for more than 30
years. Traditionally, they conduct a local cast call and rehearsals
at a school and then rent the theatre for a week of on-stage
rehearsals and performances. Last week, MET 2 presented
Shrek Jr. for 1,500 students during daytime arts education
performances and then followed that with two public performances
for 1,160 fans, families, and Mothers!
The corner garden near the Old Poway Park entrance sign is
one step closer to a full makeover. The Poway Valley
Garden Club planted new plants and surrounded them with
DG. This week, River Rock will arrive. The entrance sign
has been freshly painted and is awaiting a new Hamburger
Factory sign.
Staff met with the Friends of Poway Seniors executive director and
Board President and attended their board meeting. The dialogue
about older adult programs and the congregate meal program
remains positive and we feel very fortunate to have such a
supportive fundraising arm and partnership!

The Farm
Stoneridge Country Club Lane (G21-0001, STI21-001) - During excavation along Saint Andrews
Drive for installation of an 18-inch storm drain, a rock drilling rig was clearing a trench and drilled
through an existing watermain. The damage caused a large amount of mud to flow down the road
and into the yards of residents. The main was shut down and repaired. A scheduled water shut
down took place the next day to perform a tie-in of a new fire hydrant and removal of an existing fire
hydrant.
Traffic signal light foundations on the southeast and southwest corners of Espola Road and
Martincoit Road have been installed.
The sewer manhole near the intersection of
Espola Road and Valle Verde Road has been
installed and tested. Last week, the contractor
potholed for existing utilities in the area.

The contractor has been working on completing the bio-retention basins and has set the concrete
structure for the Modular Wetlands Systems. This system filters the water prior to it going into the
City storm drain system. The work has currently been focused on installing liners.
McKee Orchard
Holly Oak Way (G22-0006) – Over-excavation has
taken place for the proposed street, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk areas and this completes over-excavation
for 95% of the project. The remaining area to be over-
excavated is the new right-of-way connecting Holly
Oak Way to the project. This work will be done only
after the new right-of-way has been accepted (which
was scheduled for Council this week). The bottoms
of the over-excavated areas were reviewed by both
the geologist and City inspector. The site was short of
an estimated 15,000 cubic yards of fill material in
phase 1 and utilized material from phase 2 and 3 to
complete the fill for phase 1. Work is being observed
by the Native American and archaeological monitors.
Sidransky ADU and Accessory Building
Blue Crystal Trail (G22-0011) - The grading contractor worked on cutting keyways for the new slopes.
The bottoms of the keyways have been inspected and approved by the geologist and inspector. An
existing power line was encountered during the excavation for the keyway. The line was supposed
to be dead, but it was active. SDG&E crews responded by shutting down the line.

Fairfield
Poway Road (G21-0007, STI21-002) - Last week, the

conduits. SDG&E underground work continues. Gas line
work will be crossing Poway Road this week.
Construction of Building 4 continues and last week, the
second of four slab sections was placed along with a
