Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The San Diego Regional Economic Development
Corporation is promoting the creation of a regional cluster-based initiative designed to bring
the region's high technology industry leadership, local government, educational institutions,
and military together to collaborate for economic prosperity. The principal goal is to
improve the standard of living through the creation of new high paying jobs and to increase
per capita income.
Motion by Councilmember Rexford, seconded by Councilmember Emery to adopt

Cluster Based Economic Development Initiative." Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember

ITEM 2.1 (1170-04)
SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. In September, 1997, the City of Poway joined with
Del Mar, Encinitas, National City, Solana Beach, and Vista to form the Regional Solid
Waste Association. One of the options being considered is the construction of a solid
waste transfer station within the City of Vista. To date, all costs have been paid on a
proportional basis. Should the Association proceed with the issuance of debt to finance
the construction of a transfer station, all costs can be reimbursed to member cities from a
portion of the proceeds. Legal counsel has determined that the appropriate mechanism
to permit reimbursement would be though the adoption of inducement resolutions by the
Association and each member agency. City Manger Bowersox noted that the staff report
should read, "The approval of the inducement resolution does not obligate the Association
to issue debt...."
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldby to adopt
Resolution No. 98-005, entitled, "Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway,
California, Regarding its Intention to Issue Tax-exempt Obligations." Motion carried 4-0
with Councilmember Cafagna absent.
CITY ATTORNEY ITEMS
