STATE OF THE CITY
February 28, 1995
On an annual basis, the Mayor is asked to provide a State of the City
address in order to provide our citizens an update on the performance of the City
over the past year, and look towards the upcoming year in relation to our ongoing
budget, projects, and long-term goals. In preparing for this overview, I was
reminded that in Paris there is a famous gallery of art called the Louvre where
many treasures of uncalculated value are kept. In the centuries since it was
converted from the royal palace of France into their national museum, the Louvre
has acquired a great collection of masterpieces that unfailingly speak the poetry
and drama of man's existence and inspire the full spectrum of emotion in some
three million people every year from all over the world. These people come away
enthralled and uplifted by the majestic beauty of what they see. One of these
paintings, which was exhibited for a short period in New York and Washington,
has an insurance value of $100,000,000; however, its real value may be much
greater than that.
Once a group of tourists was being taken through this great gallery. There
was considerable agitation among them in anticipation of seeing this famous
painting. Further interest was added by the fact that it was protected twenty-four
d - ¡ 8 -<1 S

hours a day by an armed guard. As the tourists approached the picture, one of
them said, "I don't see anything so hot about that." To which the guard said, "But
don't you wish you could?"
While representing our City throughout the County, I often hear remarks
about what a "jewel" or "masterpiece" that Poway is. Likewise, within the City,
during the last year, I heard during different community meetings, breakfasts, teas,
luncheons and coffees, this same message. However, at the same time, we seem
to have some individuals, like the person at the Louvre, who didn't see anything so
hot about Poway.
While we don't discount the fact that there will, and should, be negative
comments from time to time, I have witnessed a handful of individuals where
negativism and emotionalism is their common theme, which reoccurs with them
over and over. While these people can continue to dwell on the negative, we as a
Council, while addressing the negative, must remain focused on the positive.
In the spirit of this year's number one TV drama series, "ER," I would like to
announce that Poway is alert and attentive, with strong vital signs. In looking
back to 1994, as earlier noted, this was an election year, and often the public does
not realize the difficulties of performing municipal business in the sometimes circus
2
atmosphere of an election. Notwithstanding, 1994 was a year of many
achievements due to long-range planning.
~
. Poway continues to have a balanced budgetnwith no prognosis to
suggest otherwise--yet we will remain aggressive in Sacramento, and
locally, to ensure that as caretakers, our budget remains solvent.
. The Scripps Poway Parkway is on line and funded, to be completed in
December 1996; and in fact, we are taking certain actions tonight in
furtherance of that goal.
. This past July, we dedicated the Old Poway Railroad, another important,
fun-filled event in the overall development of Old Poway Park, and all
who have been to enjoy the festivities and fun-filled action at the park
can attest to its magic.
. We have moved forward this year with a new concept of "Mini-Parks,"
and have two such projects underway.
. Poway experienced an 11 % drop in our crime rate due to proactive
approaches, included our first graduating class of the RSVP (Retired
Senior Volunteer Program) suggested by then Deputy Mayor Bob Emery.
3
. Due to the involvement of Deputy Mayor Susan Callery, the "Pryde
Program" was instituted in Poway, which is a private/public venture
between the YMCA, with federal funds which should help over 200
potentially at-risk kids.
. Poway added new apparatuses to our safety services, including a new
fire engine and ambulance, and completed improvements to our internal
circulation element as evidenced by the intersection at Community and
Po way Road.
. While the economy has impacted our Business Park, the developed land
is 96% leased, with one of the lowest vacancy rates in the County.
These are just a few of the many advances Poway took during the last
calendar year which resulted from many hours of involvement by community
volunteers and our hard-working and diligent staff.
~
Looking toward the future, it is interesting to note that when Poway
incorporated, we had 33,000 residents, and now there are a little over 47,000.
Accordingly, we have 14,000 new residents since incorporating, and of the then
4
33,000, I trust a proportion of those have also turned over. Therefore, we have a
high propensity of people in this City who were not here at the time of
incorporation. This fact was borne out during my campaign talking at different
functions and localities.
. This is why I look with great anticipation to a "new community survey"
which we are currently developing. I believe this will help bridge some of
the questions and concerns raised throughout this City as to a perceived
lack of communication and provide this Council a foundation of "proper
information" from the community and a platform for them to provide
ample communication back to the Council.
. In the area of public safety, we will be adding a "juvenile intervention
officer" to add proactive work with our middle school children. This
officer will be funded through the "COPS FAST" program.
. Due to the recent weather we have encountered, many of us note the
wear, tear, and stress on our street infrastructure. Therefore, I have
directed staff to increase our street maintenance budget over the next
five years by $100,000 per year which will bring us from $700,000 per
year to $1.2 million.
. In relation to these types of budget priorities, I have also challenged our
staff to reduce our Performing Arts Center (PAC) subsidy over the next
five years to 30% of operating costs beginning with a $75,000 savings
5
. ---------"..
-
this year. This savings would allow us some ability to help in a realistic
financing program for our library and other needs that might be
outstanding.
. In 1995, we will witness the groundbreaking for our library and Sheriff
substation.
. The City of Poway has formed a partnership with the business
community to foster economic development and to retain existing Poway
businesses. In 1995, the Council will initiate a program to recognize an
investment in our community demonstrated by any business which
substantially upgrades or enhances their facility. I am pleased to
announce the beginning of the quarterly Commercial Enhancement
Award.
LEGISLATION
I will be asking staff and the Council to strongly lobby in Sacramento in a
number of areas.
. This will include legislation to allow sales tax on leased autos to be
recouped 100% by the City.
. Legislation to address the affordability gap for our residential
rehabilitation programs.
6
. Needed legislation regarding additional housing element amendments to
AB764, and, working with Assemblyman Jan Goldsmith towards a pilot
program for our County to allow self-certification, and, to look towards a
lawful ordinance which further broadens the Council's discretion over
second-dwelling units.
In many ways, our City has come full circle. Our original "community
survey" was commenced shortly after incorporation, and we are now looking at a
new one. Likewise, at the time of incorporation, giving credit to the original
Council, they were required to make some tough and difficult decisions based on a
new city, with new rules and new regulations, and we now find ourselves there
again in regards to different items that will present themselves as we revitalize
Poway Road and move forward with our Business Park, yet, continue to maintain
the integrity of our General Plan.
In looking back on 1994, and looking into the future, I can proudly announce
that the State of the City is in good hands with a fair and hard-working Council.
We are moving forward with long-term planning, and that while those plans will be
fine-tuned and tweaked from time to time, based on public input and new trends,
we have much to be proud of. We can only hope that we experience more
7
-'"'
individuals coming before us on a weekly basis who, instead of stating, like the
tourist at the Louvre, that "I don't see anything so hot about Poway," that they
can actually witness for themselves that Poway is a majestic and wonderful place
to live."

RE: Old Coach Golf Estates Project
Dear Reba:
As you know, the GVCA has received concerns from our members over the recent series of
events relating to the referenced project The purpose of this letter is to raise a few questions that
need to be addressed.
Specifically, we would appreciate it if the Planning Services Department would provide the
GVCA with answers to the following questions.
1. Where will the two golf holes, which are proposed to be eliminated from Parcell, be
relocated-
2. The new tentative map indicates the "remainder parcel" no longer has four residential lots-
If this is correct, what is being proposed for that parcel?
3. The proposed map indicates an increase in the number of residential lots on Parcell from
74 to 78- Does this represent an increase in the total number of residential lots or is this
increase offset by the elimination off our residential lots on the "remainder parcel"?
4. How could these substantive changes in the map be made administratively without Council
approval? How could they be categorized as simple "boundary adjustments"?
5- Why were the changes in land use not shown in the information provided the residents
who were noticed of the "boundary adjustments"? Shouldn't all affected residents be
renoticed with complete information?
We believe a more complete understanding of the changes being proposed is needed before we or
the residents directly affected can respond positively or negatively, and, before the proposed
changes can be approved for implementation.

Given the historic interest of the community in this important project and in view of the careful
scrutiny devoted to the original plan by the Council and the public, it seems to us inappropriate
that changes of this magnitude should be made administratively- We are not only interested in
fully understanding what changes are being proposed at this time but, also, we are concerned
about the procedures which will be followed in the future in the event additional changes are
proposed.
I would appreciate receiving a written response to these questions and comments. Thank you for
your continued cooperation, and please feel ftee to call with any questions:
