REVISED USE POLICY
CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Since the Use Policy for the Poway Center
for the Performing Arts was adopted in 1991, circumstances have indicated that
the policy may have been too restrictive and had the unintended effect of
disallowing some uses which would be of benefit to the community. Staff is
proposing a new fifth priority which would allow non-performing arts activities
access to the Center at times when it was not scheduled for any performing arts
activities.
Motion by Councilmember Callery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford to adopt the
revised Use Policy for the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. Motion carried
unanimously.

Palomar College $6 million under the terms of the tax sharing agreement to
