August’s special event at the Congregate Meal Program was a Congregate
Carnival. 58 diners enjoyed a carnival experience filled with hot dogs, corn
on the cob, and coleslaw, games, a caricature artist, and an entertaining
juggling jester.
The City Council hosted the annual
Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on
August 17 at Old Poway Park with over
550 City of Poway volunteers in
attendance. The dinner recognizes the
incredible contribution and hard work
these volunteer groups provide the City.
The Poway Center for the Performing
Arts (PCPA) had an exceptional turn-
out (seen here) from the Ushers. The
group really enjoyed getting out of their
black and white (Penguin) volunteer
uniforms and creating connections with
one another. Prior to the 2023-24
PCPA season opener, the volunteers
will gather again for a safety and
operations recertification.
It’s time to get the behind-the-scenes work done. The PCPA is officially closed for two weeks while
we finish the backstage flood repairs, patch and repaint the stage, organize and repair sound and
lighting system components, complete deep cleaning tasks, and more. During this time period,
several contractors have been onsite for survey and testing work for the future Capital Improvement
projects.
Community Park staff partnered with the County of San Diego and CDFA (California Department of
Food and Agriculture) to bring the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) to our older
adult community! The SFMNP provides low-income older adults with check booklets containing five
(5) $10 checks that can be used to purchase fresh, nutritious, unprepared, and locally-grown
produce, herbs, and honey from Certified Farmers' Markets, like the Poway Farmers Market. 53
check booklets were distributed to older adults at the Mickey Cafagna Community Center. Checks
can be used through November 30, 2023.

Summer Recap
Another great summer was had by all! In nine short weeks, $812,520.10 in
revenue was generated from contract instructor-led camps and $100,767.50
from staff-led Lake Poway Day Camp. 4,850 kids had a blast making lifelong
memories and friends as they enjoyed gymnastics, fishing, sports, sewing,
archery, dance, fencing, cooking, and a
vast array of other activities. We are
pleased to offer parents an enriching
and affordable childcare option during
the summer months while school is out.
The Swim Center had a busy summer season with
programming and drop-in users this year. City staff
taught 1,489 people how to swim or improve their
skills. Of that number, 1,146 participated in group

16,728 people visited the pool via drop-in admission
and there was a total of 6,501 entries through
memberships.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Lake Poway Upper Playground Project
Demolition and grading work are now substantially complete. Staff is currently assessing any clean-
up and re-grading work resulting from the recent rainstorm. Options to re-landscape the northwestern
corner of the project, relocate several irrigation lines and a potable water pipe that was found to be
in conflict with the new improvements are under review. The concrete crew has mobilized and is
prepping the layout for the western sidewalk and ramps. Staff will be onsite to oversee the placement
of boulders utilized to form the inside walls of the ramps this week.
Poway Center for the Performing Arts Capital Improvement Project
A project kick-off meeting was held on Thursday, August 10th at the Poway Center for the Performing
Arts. The design consultant is proceeding with the 3-D scan of the facility in order to facilitate the
development of plans. It was discussed last week between Staff and the Architect the approach in
completing the entire project design and the approval process for the Division of State Architect
permit in parallel to phasing out construction over several years.
Bowron Road Sewer Trench Investigation
Sections of pavement along the sewer trench line on Bowron Road from Poway Road to the south
end have experienced some surface settlement. Ninyo & Moore completed the sub-surface
investigation of the sewer line using ground penetrating radar to identify the cause. A report of the
findings is currently being prepared and will be submitted shortly to the City.

20th to accommodate local businesses and medical
offices has been re-scheduled for Saturday, August
26th due to rain.

performed during the day with minimal traffic control in
streets with low traffic volume.

original prediction. Therefore, the City of Poway now has a credit of $326,034.43 moving forward
into the next fiscal year. This credit will cover fiscal year 2023’s actual costs of $244,160.87 and the
remaining balance will be carried over into fiscal year 2024.

Progression continues with the installation
of the middle section of the onsite water
main. Both the north and south sections had
been completed in the previous weeks.
Last week, curb and gutter was placed along Valle Verde Road at Grape Arbor Way. The contractor
will be placing pedestrian ramps at this location with new sidewalk.
During last weekend’s storm, a large amount of mud slid onto an existing resident’s lot and the City
of Poway’s sewer lift station, Saint Andrews Station 2. Public Works has cleaned the mud from the
lift station and the homeowner is working with the developer to clean up the residence.

Dewildt Residence
Corte Lomas Verdes (G22-0015) - Grading is nearly complete with the pad now at grade. The soil
compaction report as well as line and grade certification are being drawn up and will be submitted
soon. The bio-basin has been excavated along with the riprap spreader, which are both designed to
catch and treat pad drainage.
Sidransky ADU and Accessory Building
Blue Crystal Trail (G22-0011) - The proposed retaining wall has been built. Last week, the retaining
wall was grouted. Upon passing tests results, the wall drain will be installed and the wall backfilled.
Sage at Old Coach
Old Coach Road (G22-0005) - The contractor performed removals of old undocumented fills and re-
compacted the slope above the proposed sewer pump station near Westling Court. Progressing
onward, the contractor completed placement of fill on Lot 5 and the backfill behind the masonry walls
at bio-basin 1. The developer started wood construction of homes on Lots 3 and 4.
Rihan Residence
Bryce Point (MDRA21-025) - Occupancy was requested and has been granted. The file has been
given to the project manager for closeout.
McKee Orchard
Holly Oak Way (G22-0006) - The three large eucalyptus trees along Twin Peaks Road have been
removed and the stumps ground down. Import of fill material is ongoing. The onsite geologist
confirmed viability of material as it was delivered. All streetlight conduits have been installed and
inspected.
Lyon Estates
Larchmont Street (G21-0013) (STI21-003) -
Paving has begun on both private street A and
B.
The contractor continued grading on Lots 6 and
7. During rock drilling on Lot 5, the noise from
drilling was confirmed to be more than the
allowable limits. The developer was issued a
stop work notice and will need to have a third
party sound review. Any future rock drilling in
the adjacent areas near Lot 5 will need City of
Poway review to ensure the work does not
exceed the requirements.
The contractor continues to build homes on Lots
1 and 3. The construction of homes on Lots 2, 9
and 10 is set to begin shortly now that the water
main installation is complete and the streets in
the area are paved.
