TRIDENT COMMERCIAL CENTER
SCRIPPS POWAY PARKWAY/POMERADO ROAD
City Manager Bowersox stated that the public headng for this project will be scheduled for
the City Council in December; however the issues of land use and access for the
commercial center at the southwest corner of Scripps Poway Parkway and Pomerado
Road are of concern to the developer and the surrounding residents. This meeting will be
similar to a pre-development conference with no decision being made, but it gives a
chance for public input.

ITEM 2 (602-01 #1227)
1998-99 LMD ASSESSMENTS
Rex Plummer, Boyle Engineering, made a presentation regarding the City's Landscape
Maintenance District assessments in light of Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes
Act, which was approved in November, 1996. Mr. Plummer stated that our LMDs are in
compliance with the law and no change is required until an increase is needed in the
assessments. Then an election is required. It will be a mail ballot election and if it does
not pass, the already established assessments can be levied. The City Council cannot
override the election results. It is proposed that LMD 86-02 and 86-03 have an election
next spring. There are still issues to be resolved and another report will be made to the
Council in the future.
