Page 3 - CITY OF POWAY - May 1, 2001
Deputy Mayor Goldby opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager Bowersox.
On July 11,2000, the City Council approved development plans for a 35-unit apartment
complex on property located at 13406-10 Community Road, adjacent to Hilleary Park.
Following City approval of the apartment development, Community Housing of North
County (CH NC) contacted the property owner to explore their interest in selling this entitled
property in order to pursue development of affordable, workforce housing. When an
agreement was reached on terms for the proposed acquisition, CHNC approached the
Redevelopment Agency for financial assistance to acquire the site. In evaluating the
mechanisms available to provide acquisition funding, it was determined that the Agency's
interests would be best served by acquiring the site directly. On February 6, 2001, the
Redevelopment Agency Board authorized staff to initiate negotiations to purchase the
subject property. On April 25, 2001, a letter was received from a legal firm representing
the owners of the Village Pines Apartments located at 13340 Community Road expressing
their concern that the Notice of Public Hearing on the Negative Declaration is insufficient in
its undisclosed purpose in the context of the prior history of the proposed development of
this particular property. Due to this, staff is requesting the item be removed from the
agenda and rescheduled for the June 5, 2001 meeting to accommodate a revised
publishing of the Public Hearing Notice.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to remove the
item from the agenda and reschedule it for June 5, 2001. Motion carried 3-0 with
Councilmember Higginson and Mayor Cafagna absent.

APPROPRIATION
CITIZEN'S OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM
Deputy Mayor Goldby opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager Bowersox.
The COPS program provides funding from the State's General Fund to local agencies to
enhance public safety. The County of San Diego has received FY 2000-01 COPS funding
from the State Controller's Office and distributed the City of Poway's share of $106,965.
The Safety Services Department has requested use of these funds to partially offset the
cost of the two Sheriff positions initially approved by the City Council in FY 1999-00. The
City of Poway is required to maintain historic levels of funding for law enforcement that
existed prior to this grant. These funds can be used to supplement the existing law
enforcement budget and are to be used for front line Municipal police services which
include personnel expenses and capital needs.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Rexford, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to close the
public hearing and appropriate the funds to offset the cost of two new Sheriff positions.
