ITEM 2 (1204-13)
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE
ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMIT
FOR STORM WATER DISCHARGE
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Director of Public Works Howell provided an
update on the status of the compliance with the State Regional Water Quality Control
Board and the storm water discharge plan. On December 19, 2000, staff presented an in
depth overview of the tentative NPDES Permit. On February 21, 2001, the Regional
Quality Control Board adopted a modified permit. Those modifications were based on the
comments that were submitted by agencies as well as elected officials. The most
significant changes were the extended timelines and the "lead" agency responsibilities for
the Penasquitos Watershed was reassigned from Poway to the City of Del Mar. Poway
remains a co-permittee and the City is still mandated by the State of California to comply
with the stringent requirements of the permit.
Development Services and Public Works staff are participating in ten Technical Advisory
Committees in order to develop new programs designed to comply with the new permit
requirements. After the programs are developed, staffwill come back for program approval
and funding.
The City's current costs are approximately $500,000 a year. During the next year the
startup costs to comply with the new program will be $400,000-$500,000 dollars. At the
start-up of the program, the City will also be required to have programs fully implemented
by February 21, 2002. Annual costs for the program will be approximately $1.2 - $1.5
million dollars.
Some funding options for this program are grants, State or Federal funds, the use of
General Funds, or the imposition of a storm drainage fee for residential and
commercial/multiple family parcels for the purpose of funding storm water programs.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Council concurred that staff should pursue grant opportunities; look at what service
reductions would be needed if the program was fully funded by the General Fund; and to
look at imposing a storm drainage fee for residential and commercial/multiple family parcels
for the purpose of funding the storm water programs.

ITEM 1 (1141-09)
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
CITY OF POWAY WASTEWATER
SYSTEM MASTER PLAN
Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Dudek
and Associates were hired to survey the existing wastewater system and to project the
ultimate needs of Poway to determine where any deficiencies might be. The new Master
Plan shows that Poway's wastewater system is very well designed. No major flaws exist
that require massive changes. There are a few isolated areas with relatively small
problems that, at build-out, will become a little more severe. However, the system has
been designed and maintained adequately, and presents very few problems to the
residents it serves or to the staff that maintains it.
Historically, the City has estimated 250 gallons per day per equivalent dwelling unit. Using
250 GPD has always given the system design a "factor of safety" that has served the City
well as it has gone through periods of growth. As Poway enters the last phases of its
development toward build-out, it is presently at approximately 85% of its maximum project
population. As the City nears the ultimate population, this over-estimate has less value
than earlier and begins to overstate the City's actual needs. Since the City purchases
capacity from the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment facility in Point Loma, it is important
that we not purchase more treatment capacity than actually needed.
Continuing to use 250 GPD will over-estimate our actual flows and may show a need to
purchase more pipeline and transmission capacity from San Diego than necessary.
Additionally, using the 250 GPD figure will also make the modeling effort indicate the need
for more pipes needing replacement in Poway than actual flows would require. These
factors lead to higher cost projects than are actually needed.
Staff is recommending this item be continued until staff is further able to address the
technicalities of the Storm Water Element of the Wastewater Master Plan.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Goldby, seconded by Councilmember Rexford to continue this
item until staff has prepared a Storm Water Element for the Wastewater Master Plan.
Motion carried unanimously.

ITEM 7 (1002-06)
VACATION 01-01
OPEN SPACE AND EQUESTRIAN/
PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT
APPLICANTS: NORMAN AND LYNN ELLIS
AND STEPHEN AND LUClLA SIMPSON
Councilmember Emery inquired about the existing trail going onto the adjoining property
and whether the City had an easement on that adjoining property.
City Manager Bowersox stated that the adjoining property does have an easement on it
and the trail has been constructed; therefore the subject easement no longer serves the
public need.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Deputy Mayor Goldby, to adopt Resolution
No. 01-021, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California,
Ordering the Vacation of the 20 Foot Open Space and Equestrian/Pedestrian Easement
within Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 17310." Motion carried unanimously.
