Mid -Term Update and Review of the 2005 -2009 Redevelopment and Housing
Implementation Plan. (0240 -30)
Ingrid Alverde, Housing Program Manager, provided the report. The 1993 Community
Redevelopment Law Reform Act (AB1290) requires redevelopment agencies in
California to prepare a Redevelopment and Housing Implementation Plan every 5
years. The Plan must describe the Agency's goals and objectives, planned projects
and programs, estimated expenditures, and its low and moderate - income housing
production plan. Between the second and third year of the five -year implementation
period, the Agency must update the plan and hold a public hearing to allow the public
the opportunity to review and comment on it.
Nick Stavros, Poway, spoke on the availability of water and suggested that water
meters be limited and to slow down building new affordable housing units.
Joe St. Lucas, Poway, is concerned that the Brighton housing project could be 3 stories
and asked the City Council not to allow this intensity of use.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Emery and seconded by Councilmember Boyack to approve

2. Staffing at the Poway Skate Park. (0630 -40)
June Dudas, Assistant Director of Community Services Department, presented the
report. The Poway Skate Park was opened as an unsupervised skate park, pursuant to
State of California Health and Safety Code section 11580, which effectively limits the
City's liability when a public agency adheres to the basic law. Over the past several
years, the Community Service Department has seen increased vandalism to the park,
including graffiti and bent and broken fencing. It has been reported that the older
skaters intimidate and create an unsafe atmosphere for the younger skaters. In
response, the Community Services Department established youth freestyle skate
sessions for younger skaters once a month. This request increases the number of
supervised sessions at the park to address these concerns with the support of the
Poway Sheriffs Department and in compliance with the City's risk management
division.
There were no public speakers on this item.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Emery and seconded by Councilmember Rexford to authorize
the Community Services Department to proceed with utilizing the Mobile Recreation
staff to increase supervised sessions at the Poway Skate Park for seven (7) hours per
week on Wednesday afternoons and Friday evenings beginning January 2008. Motion
carried unanimously.
