Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - January 28, 2003
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This report is a follow-up to the October 8,
2002 Council meeting, during which Councilmember Goldby requested a report back on
the cost and availability of electronic waste disposal for residents, and staff was directed
to explore funding for E-Waste Collection at no cost to residents. No cost E-Waste
Collection has been available at the Poway HHW facility since December 1, 2001. No
cost home pick-up of HHW and E-waste is available to homebound and elderly
residents. To date, grant funds have been utilized to pay for the proper disposal of
Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) in most television and computer monitors. The grant will
expire March 2003, so it is necessary to establish an alternative revenue stream to
continue to provide no cost CRT disposal to Poway. The AB 939 fee collected by
EDCO on residential trash bills to pay for the City's HHW program could be adjusted by
$0.10 per month to provide sufficient revenue. The Council may consider this
adjustment when it considers the Annual EDCO rate adjustment in the spring of 2003.
The City has not increased the AB 939 fee since 1999.
Motion by Councilmember Goldby, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to approve the
staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.

GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY 03-01
APPLICANT: RAMONA WATER DISTRICT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The Ramona Water District is proposing the
construction of a 1,800-foot long, aboveground, 30-inch diameter waterline at the
eastern end of the Green Valley Truck Trail within the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve.
Section 65401 of the California Government Code, Division 1 requires that the agency
proposing the improvements in another jurisdiction provide that jurisdiction plans and
related documentation of projects for a review for a General Plan conformity review.
Staff has reviewed the project plans and mitigation measures and found them to be in
conformance with the Poway General Plan. As mitigation for the visual impact, the
Ramona Water District is proposing to quit claim a 19-acre parcel to the Reserve,
exclusive of the 4-acre easement to accommodate a future water reservoir. The
dedication would include the former Johnson residence, currently leased to the
California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) as housing for the Blue Sky
Ecological Reserve warden.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Patty Heyden, 13226 Fred Road, representing the Friends of Blue Sky spoke in
opposition to the proposal.
Nick Stavros, 13639 Jackrabbit Road, spoke in opposition.
Motion by Councilmember Goldby, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to adopt
Resolution No. 03-010, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway,
California, Finding that the Proposed Ramona Water District's Poway Pump Station 30-
