CITY COUNCIL
Award of Agreement to Roof Construction Chambers Inc. for Public Facilities Renovation Roofing Replacement at the Nelson House in Old Poway Park, and Transfer of Funds
An informal request for proposals for Public Facilities Renovation Roofing Replacement at the Nelson House located in Old Poway Park was requested on September 3, 2024, by the City of Poway (City) directly from a pre-approved list of contractors under California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) for public works projects under $75,000. City staff (staff) contacted CUPCCAA registered companies to provide proposals for the roofing replacement project at Old Poway Park. One (1) proposal was received and reviewed by staff. Staff determined Roof Construction Chambers Inc. (Roof Construction) to be qualified to provide this service to the City.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended City Council award the Agreement for Public Facilities Renovation Roofing Replacement at the Nelson House in Old Poway Park to Roof Construction Chambers Inc., approve the attached resolution authorizing a transfer from Capital Improvement Project Public Facilities Renovation General, (MN040) totaling $74,350, to Capital Improvement Project Public Facilities Renovation Roofing (MN074) and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Discussion:

As part of the annual budget process, funds are allocated for capital projects through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for investment in City infrastructure, including City facilities. During the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 budget process, funds in the amount of $223,000 were allocated to Public Facilities Renovation Roofing (MN074). MN is the project code used for maintenance projects, in this case citywide roofing projects. Each year roofs are identified for replacement based on a citywide roofing assessment, cumulative repairs and presence of leaks or failure. It was determined $74,350 would be utilized for roof replacement at the Nelson House located in Old Poway Park along Midland 1 of23
March 18, 2025, Item #2
Road. Additional roofing replacements included in MN074 were Templars Hall at Old Poway Park, the Aubrey Park concession stand and restrooms, the Aerator building at Lake Poway and the Valle Verde Park restrooms.

Due to higher material and labor costs for the executed roof replacements at the facilities included in MN074, listed above, there is no funding available in MN074 to cover the scheduled roof replacement at the Nelson House. It is requested to transfer $74,350 from the Capital Improvement Project Public Facilities Renovation General, MN040, to the Capital Improvement Public Facilities Renovation Roofing, MN074, to ensure completion. The funds in MN040 have been allocated to pre-determined projects with planned work in process. MN040 has sufficient funds to cover the Nelson House roofing project.

Originally constructed in the 1880s, the Nelson House was relocated to Old Poway Park in 1991, where it was renovated and transformed into a popular attraction.

The roof of the Nelson House has outlived its useful life and requires replacement to preserve the building's integrity. Replacing the roof with new shingles, along with repairing the damaged wood deck and fascia, will improve energy efficiency and reduce ongoing maintenance. Material acquisition is expected to take up to three (3) months, with construction planned for 15 working days. During construction, the Nelson House will be closed to the public, and all closures will be coordinated with Old Poway Park staff to minimize disruption to visitors.

Under CUPCCM, public project work in the amount of $75,000 or less may be performed by a vendor on the City of Poway preapproved vendor list, as specified in Sections 22032(b) and (c) of the California Public Contract Code. The City is a participant in CUPCCM, which facilitates the use of preapproved vendors for public works projects under $75,000. In accordance with this process, staff reached out to three (3) pre-approved contractors and requested proposals. Of the requested proposals, one (1) vendor was non-responsive, one (1) declined to submit a proposal and one (1) proposal was submitted. Staff reviewed the proposal submitted by Roof Construction which was determined to be responsive. Based on the proposal and the work required to complete the project, Roof Construction's price is fair and reasonable, and they are qualified to carry out the work. Staff recommends the Agreement be awarded to Roof Construction for labor and materials to replace the Nelson House roof.

A copy of the proposal is on file with the Public Works Department.

Environmental Review:

This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fiscal Impact:

The Public Facilities Renovation project (MN040) includes sufficient funding to transfer $74,350 to MN074 to award the Agreement for the roof replacement project of the Nelson House at Old Poway Park for the recommended amount of $74,350. The requested action would transfer funding from the Capital Improvement Fund 1070 (project MN040 funding source) to the Capital Facilities Fund 6170 (project MN074 funding source). The City proactively planned for this roof replacement project as part of the budget development process for the FY 2024-25 CIP Public Facilities Renovation Roofing, 2 of 23
March 18, 2025, Item #2
MN074, which was underfunded due to increased material and labor cost of executed projects with the CIP. CIP Public Facilities Renovation General, MN040 has unspent funds available to complete the roofing replacement at the Nelson House.

CITY COUNCIL
Award of Agreement to UniFirst Corporation for Uniform, Laundering and Related Services Utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program Contract No. 011124 The City of Poway (City) seeks to obtain uniform, laundering and related services from UniFirst Corporation (Uni First). The Agreement covers uniform and laundering services, as well as facility mat and mop services for the Public Works Department. Additionally, it includes mat and towel services for citywide facilities and the Fire Department on a regular basis. The City parti cipates in and is a member of several cooperative purchasing organizations, including Sourcewell, formally known as National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), which establish and provide nationwide competitively solicited purchasing contracts to be utilized by member agencies. For efficiency and optimal pricing, it is recommended the City enter into an agreement with UniFirst utilizing the Agreement available through Sourcewell (Contract No. 011124). Poway Municipal Code Section 3.28.110 authorizes the City to participate in cooperative purchasing agreements for the procurement of supplies, services or equipment. The length of the Agreement shall be for two (2) years beginning April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2027. The Agreement may be extended through a total of three (3) separate one-year terms.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended City Council award the Agreement for uniform, laundering and related services to Uni First Corporation utilizing the· Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program Contract No. 011124, and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Discussion:

The proposed Agreement covers uniform, laundering, and facility mat and mop services for the Public Works Department, as well as mat and towel services for citywide facilities and the Fire Department.

Sourcewell works with public agencies and holds hundreds of competitively solicited service contracts for its members. Poway Municipal Code Section 3.28.110 authorizes the City to participate in cooperative purchasing agreements as an economical alternative to the bidding process. Sourcewell completed a competitive procurement in 2024 and awarded an agreement to UniFirst on June 11, 1 of 17
March 18, 2025, Item #3
2024. The agreement includes uniform rental services, uniform laundering services, and facility supplies including floor mats, mops, and related items for Public Works, as well as mat and towel services for facilities throughout the City, including the Fire Department.

The City has maintained an Agreement with Uni First for the past eight (8) years and is satisfied with the quality of their service. Uni First provides weekly service at multiple locations throughout the City, making routine stops to collect soiled mats and laundry. On average, Uni First services approximately 450 uniforms, 96 mats, and 800 various towel products each week.

Staff recommends entering into a new Agreement with UniFirst to ensure the continuation of these services at a competitive rate. The City's current terms and pricing will remain and the estimated annual costs under this agreement will be approximately $40,000. The total final value of the agreement will be based on the actual number of uniforms, mats, mops, etc. ordered and serviced for the City per fiscal year. This annual amount is budgeted each year as part of the budgeting process.

The length of the proposed Agreement shall be for two (2) years beginning April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2027. The Agreement may be extended subject to City Council appropriation of funds through a total of three (3) separate one-year terms. The maximum length of the Agreement would be up to five (5) years.

Environmental Review:

This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Poway Road Safety Improvements Project with DBX, Inc., as Complete
Summary:

On May 21, 2024, the City Council awarded the Poway Road Safety Improvements project contract to DBX, Inc., Bid No. 24-003, in the amount of $586,739.00. This action will accept the project as complete.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council:
1) Accept the Poway Road Safety Improvements project, as complete; 2) Authorize the City Clerk to file and record the Notice of Completion; 3) Authorize the release of the retention in the amount of $29,683.95 if unencumbered, 45 days after City Council acceptance;
4) Release the Ohio Casualty Insurance Company Bond for Material and Labor in the amount of $586,739.00 after the release of retention; and
5) Retain the Ohio Casualty Insurance Company Bond for Faithful Performance for a period of one (1) year.

Discussion:

In November 2020, the City secured $589,980.00 in grant funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for the Poway Road Safety Improvements project. The project was designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency at various locations along Poway Road between Oak Knoll Road and Garden Road. In March 2024, City staff submitted a request for additional grant funding for the construction contract due to rising costs of materials and services. Caltrans approved the request, providing an additional $66,743.00 in funding. With this approval, the total grant amount eligible for reimbursement to the City is now $656,723.00.

The project modified four existing concrete medians to restrict left turn movements from side streets onto Poway Road, upgraded signal controller cabinets, installed video detection systems at five traffic 1 of 2
March 18, 2025, Item #4
signal intersections and enhanced intersection regulatory signage. These improvements were completed as part of ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and roadway infrastructure. The completion of these upgrades aligns with broader initiatives to enhance safety, operational efficiency and the longcterm sustainability of transportation infrastructure.

This action accepts the Poway Road Safety Improvements project as complete. DBX, Inc. has completed all work in accordance with the contract plans and specifications. The single change order, in the amount of $6,940.06, consisted of additional backfill for the median extension to cover areas omitted from the initial project scope and the difference between bid quantities and actual quantities placed as measured in the field. The final contract amount is $593,679.06.

Environmental Review:

The action of acceptance of public improvements, which was the subject of a prior environmental determination, is not considered a Project as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to the CEQA State Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) no environmental review is required.

Fiscal Impact:

This project was primarily funded through a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant administered by the California Department ofTransportation (Caltrans) with a total allocation amount of $656,723.00 and is eligible for reimbursement to the City. The remainder of the funds for this project, totaling $75,000, was appropriated from carryover TransNet funds, a regional half-cent sales tax dedicated to improving transportation infrastructure in San Diego County. These funds, which support projects such as road repairs, public transit enhancements, and traffic congestion relief, were used as the required local match for the grant. Sufficient funds are available in the project account (ST018) for the release of retention.

CITY COUNCIL
March 18, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Jodene Dunphy, Human Resources & Risk Management Director ~ Julie Procopio, Development Services Department Director lf U Lenai Bustos, Management Analyst - Human Resources
(858) 668-4443 [email protected]
Minor Personnel Adjustments in the Department of Development Services The Development Services Department currently has vacancies in the positions of Principal Civil Engineer in the Capital Improvement Program Engineering Division, as well as the Development Services Aide, which supports both Planning and Engineering at the Department's busy front counter.

The vacancies provided an opportunity for the Director of Development Services to evaluate why the positions are currently vacant and work with her team and Human Resources to develop creative solutions to address recruitment and retention challenges with these and other related engineering positions, such as Associate Civil Engineer. Although the City Manager has the authority to reclassify positions already approved in the City of Poway Position Classification Plan, as well as authority to make changes to existing job classifications, City Council authority is required to establish new classifications. The recommended personnel adjustments do not add new Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions and are anticipated to be cost neutral.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council approve a resolution approving changes to the City of Poway Position Classification Plan, the Management/Confidential Salary Schedule and the Non-Safety Salary Schedule to reflect the addition of Capital Projects Manager, Associate Engineer and Development Services Technician classifications and the elimination of the Development Services Aide classification, effective March 18, 2025.

Discussion:

The City's ability to recruit and retain highly qualified and talented employees at the appropriate classification levels remains one of the City's priorities to ensure positions are structured for success in providing high-quality projects, services and programs to the Poway community. The Principal Civil Engineer position has been vacant since the beginning of January, and the recruitment for the position 1 of 8
March 18, 2025, Item #5
has been challenging. Public sector engineering positions compete with the private sector, which traditionally have higher pay and more flexible work schedules. The primary responsibility of the Principal Civil Engineer is to oversee the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which currently consists of 76 approved projects with an estimated budget of approximately $86 million. The requirements for the position include a Professional Engineering (PE) license, which allows an engineer to sign and seal engineering drawings for projects but is not essential for managing capital projects. Designs are generally prepared under the supervision of a consultant engineer or the City Engineer who will sign and stamp the drawings. Staff recommends creating a new proposed classification of Capital Projects Manager, which would require more years of experience managing capital improvement projects but would not require a PE license. This would allow the City to expand the pool of candidates who are qualified to manage the City's Capital Improvement Program through their experience and education but may not have a PE license. Both the City Engineer and the Director of Development Services have PE licenses should the need arise for stamping and/or signing engineering drawings.

The Capital Improvement Projects Engineering Division has three full-time equivalent (FTE) Associate Civil Engineer positions budgeted that are currently being underfilled by Assistant Engineers because the City was unable to recruit Associate level engineers with PE licenses to fill the Associate Civil Engineer positions. To help retain the City's Assistant Engineers once they gain the experience needed to work at the Associate Engineer level, staff is also recommending the creation of an Associate Engineer classification, similar to the current Associate Civil Engineer position, but does not require a PE license. Once the Assistant Engineers have the qualifying exper ience of the Associate level and are performing well, the City would like to have the option to promote engineers from within the department to this classification if they do not have their PE license at that time. Adding the new classification allows the City more options to fill the Associate level positions and provide a path for promotions if PE licenses are obtained by Assistant and Associate Engineers.

The Development Services Aide position has experienced consistent turnover primarily due to the lower classification and compensation level given the demanding duties performed by the position at the Department's busy front counter. After analyzing the San Diego market of cities, no other cities have a comparable Aide position in Planning and/or Engineering. However, twelve cities have a comparable Technician position. Staff is recommending the City Council approve the new classification of Development Services Technician to better compete within the market for the position, which will help in recruitment and retention efforts, and eliminate the Development Services Aide classification from the City's Position Classification Plan and Non-Safety (Teamsters) Salary Schedule.

Environmental Review:

This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fiscal Impact:

The overall fiscal impact is anticipated to be cost neutral as there are no estimated annual cost increases for the addition of the two new classifications of Capital Project Manager and Associate Engineer as these are not new FTEs and, if utilized, would result in savings due to underfilling budgeted FTEs already approved at higher levels. The cost estimate of establishing the Development Services 2 of 8
March 18, 2025, Item #5
Technician and eliminating the Development Services Aide position is $25,488 annually, which would be offset by the overall savings of underfilling the Principal Civil Engineer and Associate Civil Engineer positions.

General Plan Implementation Annual Progress Report for 2024

CITY COUNCIL
State law requires the planning agency of a local government to provide an annual report to its legislative body on the status of the General Plan (GP) and the progress made in its implementation .

The report also provides an update on progress made in meeting the City's share of regional housing needs. The attached report provides a list of projects and programs the City completed or undertook during the 2024 calendar year. The projects and programs were determined to be consistent with the goals, policies and strategies of the Poway GP and demonstrate progress was made in the implementation of the GP.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council receive and file this report and authorize submittal to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG).

Discussion:

Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires an annual report be provided to the City Council on the status of the implementation of the GP. The report must address the City's progress in its GP implementation , including the progress in meet ing its share of regional housing needs. The Annual Report should also include a discussion of constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing.

The intent of the required annual report is to ensure the GP directs all land use decisions and remains an effective guide for future development. Since the GP acts as a long-term guide for the physical development of the City, and a periodic update is required to reflect current circumstances, it is important the City annually review the GP and its implementation .

The information shown in the Annual Report (Attachment A) provides a list of projects and programs implemented by the City during the 2024 calendar year as of December 31, 2024, in compliance with the direction of the various goals, policies and strategies of the GP. 1 of 44

The City of Poway Housing Element Update Uune 30, 2020 to April 15, 2029) was adopted by the City Council on August 3, 2021. After multiple revisions and discussions with HCD staff, on March 23, 2024, the City received a letter from HCD confirming the Poway Housing Element met the statutory requirements of the Housing Element law and will be in full compliance with the State law after adoption by the City Council and submittal to HCD for final approval.

Approval of the item was covered by the Negative Declaration, adopted by the City Council in August 2021, so no further CEQA review was required. On April 2, 2024, the City Council unanimously approved the General Plan Amendment GPA 24-001 and GPA 21-002 for the Adoption of the City of Poway 2020-2029 Housing Element.

In July 2022, the City Council approved the McKee Orchard subdivision at the terminus of Holly Oak Way and south ofTwin Peaks Road. The subdivision utilizes a density bonus for 20 single family residences, one of which will be affordable to a household at the very low-income level.

During 2024, 5 homes were granted occupancy, including the affordable unit.

In 2024, staff began working to evaluate updates to the Poway Municipal Code required by the Housing Element. An on-call consultant for SANDAG's Housing Assistance Program, Ascent Environmental and Planning Consultants, is providing research to the City on Objective Design Standards (ODS) used by other agencies in the region to address required revisions.

With the adoption of revised ADU regulations in 2019, a total of 34 building permits were issued for ADUs in 2024. Based on comparable rents analysis, staff determined ADUs are typically affordable to moderate-income households. ADUs are expected to play a significant role in meeting the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and meeting fair-housing initiatives within the current housing element cycle.

For the current Housing Element Cycle (6th Cycle), SANDAG has allocated a total of 1,319 housing units for Poway, distributed in the four income categories. The breakdown of units allocated for the different affordability levels is shown below with the number of units remaining to be permitted in the current Housing Element Cycle:

As part of the street maintenance program in 2024, approximately 22 miles of roadway were slurry sealed. Various street overlays were performed totaling approximately 2.5 miles in length.

The City applied for, and was awarded, a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant in 2021 for safety improvements along Poway Road. The HSIP is a federal-aid program with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The grant application includes installation of directional medians at four non signalized locations along Poway Road to restrict left turns onto Poway Road while still allowing drivers to turn left into shopping centers along the street. The application also includes upgrades to five signalized intersections along Poway Road between Pomerado Road and Midland Road. The design of this project started in January 2024 and construction occurred during 2024. Project completion is anticipated in early 2025.

The Public Works Department operates and maintains 59 signalized intersections in the City, Forty-three of the signalized intersections currently have controllers that have been discontinued or are no longer manufactured and will be difficult replace in case of failure. In Fiscal Year 2024, the City approved a project to replace the obsolete controllers and improve the traffic signal communication system. The chosen controller is an advanced transportation controller and is configurable for use with the City's traffic management applications.

Replacement of the controllers meets the City's goals of replacing aging signal components and more efficiently managing, controlling and operating the City's traffic signal system. The design of this project started in August 2023, and construction occurred in 2024. Project completion is anticipated in early 2025.

In August 2023, the City's Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) supported staffs recommendation to install improvements to address safety concerns expressed by residents on Midland Road.

The improvements consist primarily of replacement of existing warning signs with fluorescent yellow-green signs, rapid flashing beacon signs and a speed feedback sign. In October 2023 the City Council approved the proposed safety improvements along with funding for the project. Construction was completed in 2024.

~ Resources Element
■ Development projects that impact habitat land are required to mitigate the impacts in accordance with Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Mitigation is achieved through either dedication of Biological Conservation Easements (BCE) of similar quality habitat located within the HCP Mitigat ion Area or through payment of a Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee.

The purpose of the In-Lieu Fee is to provide the City a funding source to use in acquisition of habitat land within the Mitigation Area for preservation and dedication. In 2024, $348,704.00 in In-Lieu fees were collected. Since the approval of the HCP, the City has collected over $2.6 million in In-Lieu fees and has spent approximately $1.8 million of the funds for the purchase of native habitat land.
■ In 2024, 11.82 acres of open space habitat land was preserved in the form of dedicated Biological Conservation Easements (BCE) and 13.01 acres in Open Space Easements (OSE). ■ In 2024, Planning staff began preparing documents necessary to rezone land over which BCEs and OSEs have been granted to the land use designation of Open Space-Resource Management (OS-RM). This effort will be submitted to the City Council for review and approval in 2025.

INTRODUCTION
The California Government Code (Section 65400(a)(2)) requires the preparation of an annual report to advise the City Council of progress made toward accomplishing the goals of the Poway General Plan. This report covers the time period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, and provides information on the following:

A. The status of the General Plan and the City's progress in its implementation; and B. The City's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs, and the City's efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing for all income levels, as well as for special housing needs.

State law also requires that a copy of the Annual Report be provided to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) before April 1st of each year. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) also requests a copy.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN
Section 65302 of the California Government Code mandates that a general plan contain at least seven elements: 1) Land Use Element; 2) Circulation Element; 3) Housing Element-which must be updated every four to eight years; 4) Conservation Element; 5) Open Space Element; 6) Noise Element; and 7) Safety Element. The City of Poway General Plan contains all of the required seven elements, although the names of some of the elements are different. The Poway General Plan is divided into six master elements:
• Community Development , which includes: Land Use, Community Design and Energy Conservation
• Public Facilities
• Transportation , which includes: Roadways, Public Transit, Bikeways, Pedestrian Facilities • Resources, which includes: Natural Resources, Prehistoric Resources, and Historic Resources
• Public Safety, which includes Emergency Services, Hazard Management • Housing
The purpose of the General Plan is to provide for the long-term planning of Poway's physical development through the establishment of general guidelines for decision making concerning land use, recreation, cultural resources, transportation and circulation , natural resource conservation/open-space , noise, safety, and housing goals and policies. While the General Plan is a policy document , it also provides background information and analysis relative to the policies that it contains .

The Poway General Plan was prepared as a comprehensive, internally consistent document that promotes sustainable development, and maintains the flexibility to provide the long-term perspective and direction to guide the community into the future.

The City of Poway Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted 42 years ago in 1983, and included the General Plan, the Zoning Development Code and an Environmental Analysis

Section. In 1991 and 1996, the General Plan underwent major review and updates. The Environmental Analysis section was replaced with a Master Environmental Assessment (MEA).

The Housing Element was adopted by the City Council in 2021 and updated in April 2024 to cover the 2020-2029 planning cycle. A comprehensive amendment to the Transportation Element was adopted by the City Council in 2010. City staff will continue to comprehensively review the elements of the General Plan and complete any necessary revisions incorporating past amendments . An update is in process for the Public Safety Element in 2025, with a planned update for the Resources Element thereafter as required by State law.

Over the past 41 years, some notable accomplishments have been achieved in the City through implementation of the goals and policies of the General Plan. Key accomplishments include the following:
■ The appearance of Poway Road has realized improvements as a result of the adoption of the Poway Road Specific Plan (PRSP), which guides new development and redevelopment along Poway Road. In 2017, the PRSP was adopted in an effort to revitalize Poway Road. The adoption resulted in changes to the allowed land uses and the development standards . A key component of the Specific Plan encourages concentrated mixed-use development consisting of commercial uses, residential uses and public spaces in the Town Center area. ■ The City's economic base and employment opportunities (over 500 companies/ 18,000 jobs) have expanded because of the 700-acre South Poway Business Park.
■ The equestrian/pedestrian trails system in the City of Poway has expanded from three miles to approximately 80 miles.
■ Since 1983, the City (Poway's former Redevelopment Agency and the Poway Housing Authority) has participated in the development or rehabilitation of 790 affordable living units in the community (please note this number does not represent any rehabilitation or development using CDBG funds, only City funds).

State-wide and Regional Issues
Oversight of the former Poway Redevelopment Agency
• In April 2017, the City of Poway initiated a Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P) process to identify a developer to acquire and develop City and Poway Housing Authority (Authority) owned properties within the Town Center area of the Poway Road Specific Plan. The RFQ/P process identified the development team of Meridian Development, LLC and Sudberry Properties, Inc. (collectively "Developers") as having the most qualified proposal. In December 2017, the City and the Authority entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with the Developers. The ENA allowed the City, Authority and Developers to negotiate a Purchase, Sale, and Development Agreement (PSDA) for 98 for-sale, market-rate multi-family units, 44 affordable senior apartments and approximately 25,000 square feet of commercial development. In 2018, the City acquired four parcels (APNs 317-472-18, 317-472-23, 317-472-24 and 317-472-25) on the south side of Poway Road to facilitate the mixed-use development consistent with the vision of the Poway Road Corridor Specific Plan. Staff continued negotiations with the developer throughout 2018 and the PSDA was approved by the City Council on March 19, 2019.

Entitlements for 141 residential units and 584 square feet of commercial space was Page4 2024 City of Poway General Plan Implementation Annual Progress Report 12 of 44
March 18, 2025, Item #6
approved by the City Council in December 2019. The development is called Poway Commons and construction was completed in 2023.

City Staff reviewed the submissions and interviewed developers in 2021 in response to a Request for Qualification for the Monte Vista housing site for the development of at least 41 affordable apartment units. In August 2022, the Poway Housing Authority Board approved an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement with Wakeland Housing and Development, Inc. (Developer) for the development of 60 affordable rental units for developmentally disabled adults and military veterans. An Affordable Housing Agreement, Ground Lease and Land Use Entitlements were approved by the Poway Housing Authority Board and the City of Poway City Council for execution on November 19, 2024. The Developer has until December 31, 2027 to complete construction and begin occupancy.

Regional Issues
While Poway's policies, plans and programs seek to maintain a high quality of life for its residents and businesses, the City does not exist unto itself. Poway actively participates in regional policies and plans established for the benefit of the San Diego County region. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is a key regional public agency that serves as the forum for regional decision making, building consensus, making strategic plans, obtaining and allocating resources, and providing information on a broad range of topics relevant to the region's quality of life. Poway participates in the following SANDAG planning processes and programs:
• Participates as a voting member on the Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP) Committee for the TransNet Funding Program;
• Participated as a voting member on the Mobility Working Group Committee; • Participated as a voting member on the Sustainable Communities Working Group, including active involvement with the Regional Housing Needs Plan, Smart Growth site mapping and descriptions, as well as development of the San Diego Forward Regional Plan and Multimodal Hubs;
• Participated in the Regional Climate Action Planning Framework (ReCAP) Stakeholder Meeting and Inland Cities Energy Collaborative meetings; and • Participated in San Vicente Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (CMCP), including providing comments encouraging a multi-modal transit corridor along the SR-67 and Scripps Poway Parkway. The CMCP was approved in September 2022.
• City staff participated in the annual reports for the Water Quality Improvement Plans (WQIPs) for the San Dieguito and Los Penasquitos watersheds with other local jurisdictions.
• City staff participated in multiple committees with other co-permittees subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit R9-2015-0100 including: Land Development Work Group, Monitoring Work Group and the Education Work Group.
• City staff meets bi-monthly with all utility agencies to discuss projects and resolve issues. • City staff participated in the following regional economic development-related events:

Transportation Element
It is the goal of the City of Poway to provide a safe, realistic, efficient, and integrated transportation system to serve the present and future mobility needs of all the residents of Poway. • As part of the street maintenance program in 2024, approximately 22 miles of roadway were slurry-sealed. Various street overlays were performed totaling approximately 4.5 miles in length.
• The City applied for, and was awarded, a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant in 2021 for safety improvements along Poway Road. The HSIP is a federal-aid program with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The grant application includes installation of directional medians at four non-signalized locations along Poway Road to restrict left turns onto Poway Road while still allowing drivers to turn left into shopping centers along the street.

The application also includes upgrades to five signalized intersections along Poway Road between Pomerado Road and Midland Road. The design of this project started in January

2023 and construction occurred during 2024. Project completion is anticipated in early 2025.
• The Public Works Department operates and maintains 59 signalized intersections in the City of Poway. Forty-three of the signalized intersections currently have controllers that have been discontinued, are no longer manufactured, and would be difficult to replace in case of failure. In 2024, the City Council approved a project to replace the obsolete controllers and improve the traffic signal communication system. The chosen controller is an advanced transportation controller and is configurable for use with the City's traffic management applications. Replacement of the controllers meets the City's goals of replacing aging signal components and more efficiently managing, controlling and operating the City's traffic signal system. The design of this project started in August 2023, and construction occurred in 2024. Project completion_is anticipated in early 2025. • In August 2023, the City's Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) supported staff's recommendation to install improvements to address safety concerns expressed by residents on Midland Road. The improvements consist primarily of replacement of existing warning signs with fluorescent yellow-green signs, rapid flashing beacon signs and a speed feedback sign. In October 2023 the City Council approved the proposed safety improvements along with funding for the project. Construction was completed in 2024.

• In 2024, the Poway Area Detective Unit was successful in identifying and arresting suspects in multiple cases, including two high profile investigations. In March 2024, Poway Weapons and Gear was burglarized in the early morning hours, and multiple firearms were taken from the business. The quick response by deputies and swift actions by detectives helped identify the suspects within a matter of hours, and it became a multi-jurisdictional case across state lines. The collaborative investigation resulted in the recovery of 41 stolen firearms and the identification and arrest of eight suspects. The investigation is ongoing.
• In August 2024, Poway Deputies received reports of two missing individuals, a young mother and her one-year-old child. The preliminary investigation into their whereabouts raised suspicion regarding their welfare which prompted an intense, multi-jurisdictional, cross-state investigation. The very next day, the young child was returned to family in Poway, unharmed; however, the search for the mother continued. Sadly, 48 hours after first reported missing, the mother was found to be the victim of homicide in Texas.

Tragically, the mother's life was lost, but the swift actions taken by the law enforcement community helped reunite the young child with family, and bring a suspect into custody to ensure that justice would be pursued.

These cases illustrate the collaborative efforts of our detectives and multiple law enforcement agencies whose unwavering commitment to protect vulnerable individuals, no matter the distance or complexity of cases, is evident. Poway Detectives are committed to the cases they investigate every day, and they have been successful in identifying and arresting suspects in a variety of cases.

There are also 11 registered Used Oil Recycling Program collection centers in the City, and they collected an additional 11,686 gallons of used motor oil during the 2023- 2024 reporting year.

Resources Element
It is the goal of the City of Poway to preserve its natural, scenic and cultural resources for the future benefit and enjoyment of its residents, and to protect biological and ecological diversity.

The City of Poway has many natural resources, including creeks, canyons, grassland areas, and mountains, which have been protected. The original General Plan adopted in 1983, included a significant Plant and Animal Resource Conservation Element. Goals, policies, and strategies were established in subsequent updates to the General Plan (1991 and 1996) which emphasized preservation of open space, biological resources and the rural character of the "City in the Country" as primary objectives. Implementation policies and strategies promoted development of a City-wide system of reserves and wildlife corridors which provided the foundation for the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) which was approved in 1996. A key objective of the HCP is to create sustainable, interconnected habitat preserves for the purpose of maintaining viable populations of biological resources. Implementation of the HCP ensures balance between development and conservation in the City, while meeting the mitigation requirements for building private and public development projects.

Development projects that impact habitat land are required to mitigate the impacts in accordance with HCP mitigation requirements . Mitigation is achieved through either dedication of Biological Conservation Easements (BCE) of comparable quality habitat located within the HCP Mitigation Area or payment of a Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee. The In-Lieu Fee provides an efficient and viable option for biological resource impact mitigation and serves as mitigation compensation for direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts, where the direct purchase of habitat lands by a project proponent or on-site preservation are determined by the City to be infeasible. Per the HCP, the In-Lieu Fee is to be assessed in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the City Council.

Currently, the fee is $17,000 per acre. The purpose of the In-Lieu Fee is to provide the City the ability to acquire land within the Mitigation Area for preservation and dedication . • The City has acquired property over the years to meet the preservation goals of the HCP through the dedication and purchase of biologically sensitive land in the City. Several hundred acres were purchased in the early 2000's with Sensitive Land funds that

Page 16 ends

24 of 44
March 18, 2025, Item #6
preserved portions of important City landmarks such as Twin Peaks Mountain and Van Dam Peak. These parcels contain native vegetation that have been preserved by the City in their natural state, and count toward meeting the City's HCP habitat preservation goals.

In FY24, the Habitat-in-Lieu fund (2520) received $348,704 in fees and earned $20,483.28 in interest income of Habitat in-lieu fees available for purchase of habitat land for preservation. As of December 31, 2024, the total fund balance stands at $1,109,589.22.

The balance includes interest revenue and other miscellaneous costs. • Since the approval of the HCP, the City has collected over $2. 6 million in In-Lieu fees and has spent over $1.8 million of the funds for the purchase of native habitat land. On occasion, the City has refunded In-lieu fees at the request of a developer after they have dedicated biological open space in the City to replace In-Lieu fees they paid. • In 2014, the City approved the Habitat Acquisition Strategy, an implementation plan to use in acquiring properties for habitat preservation using funds from the City's Habitat In-Lieu Fee account. The Strategy includes a detailed list of potential parcels to target for acquisition and provides a thorough analysis of the priority areas as defined in the HCP.

Since the 1997 adoption of the HCP, the City has acquired approximately 948. 72 acres of habitat land (See Table 1 ). Staff uses the Habitat Acquisition Strategy to identify properties to be purchased based on available funding. The City Council reviews all proposed land purchases prior to staff pursuing acquisition. Each year pursuant to the requirements of the HCP Implementation Agreement, the City prepares and submits an annual report to the Wildlife agencies reporting on programs, policies, and projects that were undertaken in the previous year that resulted in implementation of the HCP. • In 2024, 11.82 acres of open space habitat land was preserved in the form of dedicated Biological Conservation Easements (BCE) and 13.01 acres in Open Space Easements (OSE).
• In 2024, Planning staff began preparing documents necessary to rezone land over which BCEs and OSEs have been granted to the land use designation of Open Space Resource Management (OS-RM). This effort will be submitted to the City Council for review and approval in 2025.

Each of the noted applications and new construction projects resulted in implementation of the General Plan, as all projects were built in conformance with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
• Development Review (DR) and Minor Development Review Application (MORA) approvals are required before the issuance of a building permit for non-residential development (i.e., multifamily developments, mobile home parks, commercial, industrial, or public/semi-public development).
• Between January and June 2024, there were 25 MORA applications, of which ten were for residential development. Seven MDRAs were processed for non-residential uses in 2024.
• In June 2024, the City Council approved a measure to eliminate the requirement for MORA reviews for single-family homes (including custom), including additions, alterations, and remodeling, as well as non-lighted recreational courts. • Tentative Tract Map (TTM) and Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) projects are required to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and involve the subdivision of property into five or more lots for a TTM and four or fewer lots with a TPM. • New development applications submitted in 2024 included five Development Review (DR) applications, 25 Minor Development Review (MORA), three Tentative Tract Maps (TTM), and seven Tentative Parcel Maps (TPM) (Chart 1 ). It should be noted that ten of the 25 MDRAs were requests for the construction of new custom single-family homes. Two of TTM applications were time extension requests. Three of seven TPM applications were for Senate Bill 9 lot splits.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Capital improvements, such as roads, drainage facilities, sewer and water lines, treatment plants, infrastructure, and public facility improvements are the framework that supports development.

Their availability plays an important part in determining the pattern of land uses within the community, as well as the direction and intensity of growth. Public facilities, such as police and fire stations, libraries and parks, are important to residents' safety and quality of life. Equally important are the improvements to roads, water lines and reservoirs, sewer lines and drainage systems and other infrastructure systems that implement the goals and policies of the General Plan. The ability to provide these facilities is important to the well-being of the community. Below is a list of the City's Capital Improvement projects staff worked on and/or completed in 2024.

In 2017, the City Council approved an amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance to comply with Senate Bill (SB) 2 and other special needs housing (homeless shelters, transitional and supportive housing and agricultural workers housing). The City's Zoning Code was amended by Ordinance No. 805 to include definitions for Single-Room Occupancy, Supportive Housing, Transitional Housing, Homeless Shelters and Homeless. The amendment also identified the Residential Apartment (RA) zone to be the most appropriate to allow homeless shelters by right. Clear objective development standards were also adopted for the establishment of any new homeless shelters. The Code was amended to add a definition for agricultural housing as well as clarify the provision for agricultural worker housing. The City will continue to comply with State law as it pertains to special needs housing and amend the Zoning Ordinance as necessary. This includes: 1) providing only sufficient parking to accommodate all staff working in an emergency shelter, provided that the standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than other residential or commercial uses within the same zone; 2) allowing residential care facilities with six or less residents to be constructed in the RR-A through C, RS-1, RS-2, RS-3 RS-4, and RS-7 zones without a Conditional Use Permit and include objective standards and decision making procedures; 3) allowing agricultural worker housing to be constructed without Conditional Use Permits and clarify the types of non-commercial agricultural activities allowable in the single-family zones as accessory uses; and 4) allowing employee housing for six or fewer persons to be treated as a residential use and subject to regulations that apply to other residential dwellings
of the same type in the same zone.

A DDLA was approved by the Housing Authority in Fall 2016 to allow Mercy Housing California and Villa de Vida to construct a 54-unit affordable housing development for adults with developmental disabilities. Construction began in 2020 and was completed in 2022. In August 2022, the Poway Housing Authority Board approved an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement with Wakeland Housing and Development, Inc. for the development of 60 affordable rental units for developmentally disabled adults and military veterans on a site owned by the Housing Authority (Monte Vista). Project entitlements and the Affordable Housing Agreement were approved by the City Council and Poway Housing Authority Board at the November 19, 2024 meeting.

The Villa de Vida affordable housing project that was approved in 2017 exhibits a high-quality design with a Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style with architectural detailing that is comparable to a market-rate development. The project is also located adjacent to Poway Creek and was designed to avoid any significant impacts to the creek. Construction was completed in 2021. Also, the Poway Commons project includes the development of a 43-unit senior affordable apartment building (one market-rate manager unit) that was approved in 2019 with similar design quality that of a market-rate development.

Construction began in 2020 and was completed in 2022. The Monte Vista affordable housing development, for which project entitlements and the Affordable Housing Agreement were approved by the City Council and Poway Housing Authority Board at the November 19, 2024 meeting, will be built over a subterranean parking garage and has a large open space area with many amenities for residents.

Work is completed on the Poway Road Corridor Study that evaluated and updated land use policies for residential and non-residential properties along Poway Road, the main transit corridor within the City and reduces vehicles miles traveled furthering sustainable communities strategies. Comments on the Regional Transportation Plan, the San Vicente SR-67 corridor study, and related plans included adding transit stops and a multi-use corridor along Scripps Poway Parkway and portions of the SR-67. The current San Vicente SR-67 corridor study proposes these improvements.

City Council Waiver of Privilege Re Communications with Council member Blain regarding Remote Meeting Participation
Beginning in December 2024, Councilmember Blain has repeatedly asked the City Attorney's Office about the rules for appearing remotely at City Council meetings and has been provided detailed descriptions of state law - specifically, the Brown Act - regarding the same. On March 10, 2025, Councilmember Blain notified both the City Manager and City Attorney's Offices he has an upcoming 90 day Army deployment starting on a yet to be provided date, and was again seeking specific instructions for how to participate remotely in City Council meetings while deployed. The City Attorney's Office resent the previously provided information, specifically noting remote participation rules are established by California Government Code (the Brown Act) and cannot be superseded by local ordinances. The rules for (and limits on) remote participation have no relation to excused absences and missing City Council meetings.

In response to the factual information provided, Councilmember Blain both in email and publicly on line falsely accused the City Attorney's office and others of attempting to "kick him off Council" and conflated rules regarding remote participation with excused absences, which are found in completely separate areas of the law. Despite being informed repeatedly that absences during deployment would be excused, Councilmember Blain continued accusing the City Council and City Attorney's office of conspiring to get him off of the City Council and reached out to the media sharing grossly inaccurate information.

Councilmember Blain has posted a number of the City Attorney's office's emails containing legal advice regarding remote meeting participation on his personal website. Councilmember Blain was informed these are attorney-client privileged emails and he cannot unilaterally disclose them. In response, Councilmember Blain denied they are subject to the attorney-client privilege, and refused to remove them from his personal website. Other individual Councilmembers reached out to the City Attorney to ask that privilege be waived as to those communications, and all other related communications, so that the truth of what has occurred is readily available to the public. 1 of 4
March 18, 2025, Item #8
Councilmember Blain himself specifically requested all of the March 11, 2025 emails between himself and the City Attorney's office be made public, stating in an email at 5:37 p.m. on March 11, 2025 "[p]lease make all of my recent e mails public record and agenda items for transparency, as well as every single response." The City Attorney's office agrees with this request.

Notably, while the focus of the emails is remote participation in City Council meetings during an upcoming deployment, no deployment dates or deployment orders have been provided to the City as of the preparation of this report.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council vote to waive attorney-client privilege regarding all communications between Councilmember Blain and the City Attorney's office regarding remote appearances at City Council meetings, and for all communication between Councilmember Blain and the City Attorney's office that occurred on March 11, 2025.

Discussion:

All emails between Councilmember Blain and the City Attorney's office regarding remote appearances at City Council meetings, as well as all the emails from March 11, 2025, have been compiled as redacted Attachment A, which contains an index of the emails subject to potential waiver. The emails themselves have been provided privately to the City Council for review and printed out for each Council member at the dais. If the City Council votes to waive privilege, those emails will appear as an attachment to this report online following the March 18, 2025 City Council meeting, and be publicly available via the City's website.
