EXHIBIT 1
Findings Supporting the
City of Poway Amendments to the
California Fire Code, 2025 Edition:
Ordinance No. 878
As required by Health and Safety Code Section 17958, the Poway City Council does herewith make express findings that amendments to the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition, are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare due to certain climatic, topographic, or geographical features existing in the County of San Diego.
Findings for the City of Poway amendments to the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition.
FINDING 1
The City of Poway is situated on the slopes and at the base of the coastal mountains with drainage from the eastern portion of the City of Poway, including the San Dieguito River and Rancho Penasquitos Creek, which, when flooded, could result in conditions rendering vehicular access unduly burdensome or impossible for the Fire Department.
Further, the flood conditions described above carry the potential for overcoming the ability of the Fire Department to aid or assist in fire control, evacuations, rescues, and the emergency tasks and demands inherent in such situations. The potential for the aforementioned flooding conditions to result in limiting Fire Department emergency vehicular traffic, with resulting overtaxing Fire Department personnel, may further cause a substantial or total lack of protection against fire for the buildings and structures located within the jurisdiction.
FINDING 2
The City of Poway is situated near several known major faults, each capable of generating earthquakes of significant magnitude. These include the Rose Canyon fault the Newport- 1 nglewood fault, the Coronado Banks fault, and the Silver Strand fault, (located generally west of the City of Poway), and the Elsinore fault and Agua Caliente fault (located east of the City of Poway). These faults are subject to activity at any time, and the City of Poway is particularly vulnerable to devastation should such an earthquake occur.
The potential effects of earthquake activity include, isolating the City of Poway from the surrounding area, restricting or eliminating internal circulation due to the potential for the collapse of highway overpasses and underpasses along with other bridges in the City, or an earth slide and the potential for vertical movement rendering surface travel unduly burdensome or impossible.
FINDING 3
The City of Poway and Southern California are semi-arid regions and experience water shortages from time to time. Those shortages can have a severely adverse effect on water availability for firefighting. Fires starting in sprinkled buildings are typically controlled by one or two sprinkler heads flowing as little as 13 gallons per minute per sprinkler head activation.
Hose streams used by engine companies on well-established structure fires operate at a minimum of about 250 gallons per minute each, and the estimated water need for a typical residential fire is 1,000 to 1,500 gallons per minute, according to the Insurance Service Office and the California Fire Code.

Under circumstances such as lack of water, infrastructure, earthquakes, and multiple and wildland fires within a community, the limited water demands of residential fire sprinklers would control and extinguish many fires before they spread from building to wildland. In such a disaster, water demands needed for conflagration firefighting probably would not be available.
FINDING 4
The topography of the City of Poway presents problems in delivery of emergency services, including fire protection. The hilly terrain has narrow, winding roads with little circulation, preventing rapid access and orderly evacuation. Much of these hills are covered with highly non fire resistive natural vegetation. In addition to access and evacuation problems, the terrain makes delivery of water extremely difficult. Some hilly areas served by water tank and pump systems are subject to failure in fire, high winds. earthquake, and other power failure situations.
FINDING 5
The seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall create numerous serious difficulties regarding the control of, and protection against, fires in the City of Poway. The hot, dry weather that is typical of this area in summer and fall, coupled with Santa Ana winds and low humidity, frequently result in wildfires that threaten, or could threaten, the City of Poway.
Although some Code requirements, such as fire-resistive roof classification, have a direct bearing on building survival in a wildland fire situation, others, such as residential fire sprinklers, may also have a positive effect. In a dry climate on low humidity days, many materials are much more easily ignited. More fires are likely to occur and any fire, once started, can expand extremely rapidly. Residential fire sprinklers can arrest a fire starting within a structure before the fire is able to spread to adjacent brush and structures.
A seasonal wind also has the potential for Interfering with emergency vehicle access and delaying or making impossible fire responses because of toppling of extensive plantings of dense chaparral, eucalyptus, and conifer trees. The trees are subject to uprooting in strong winds due to their relatively small root bases compared to the tree itself. The aforementioned problems support the imposition of fire-protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California Building Code or Fire Code.
FINDING 6
Due to the topography in much of the City of Poway, roadway condition, gates, angle of approach or departure, steeply sloping roadways, and grades are common. In addition, a combination of potentially severe rainstorms and ground-water retention could occur in many areas of the City where there is expansive soil. This produces a condition wherein the moisture content of the soil is sufficient, that roadways become damaged due to soil expansion and shrinkage. All-weather, paved surfaces, capable of supporting the imposed loads of fire apparatus are necessary to ensure access of emergency response personnel. These roadways, gates, approach angles, steep slopes, and grades can also make it difficult for fire apparatus and other emergency vehicles to access a site. It is, therefore, essential that these roadway accesses be provided with proper all-weather, paved surfaces, angle of approach, grades, and gate access.

Ordinance No. 878
The City of Poway has State Route 67, Poway Road, Scripps Poway Parkway, Pomerado Road and Espola Road as major roadways within its boundaries. Transportation vehicles carrying known toxic, flammable, explosive, and hazardous materials travel these roadways.
The potential for the release or threatened release of hazardous materials along these routes is likely given the volume that is transported within Poway city limits. Incidents of this nature will normally require all available emergency response personnel to prevent injury and loss of life and to limit or prevent environmental and property loss. Emergency personnel responding to such aforementioned incidents may be unduly impeded and delayed in accomplishing an emergency response as a result of this situation, with the potential result of undue and unnecessary risk to the protection of life and public safety and, in particular, endangering residents and occupants in buildings or structures without the protection of automatic fire sprinklers.
The aforementioned problems support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California Building Code or Fire Code. 47 of47

U.S. Instrumentalities $29,470,544
Corporate Notes $22,083,668
Fair Value of Investment Portfolio as of September 30, 2025 $152,923,755 It is the City's practice to keep funds (including those identified to pay for Capital Improvement Projects) invested and earning interest until they are needed. In addition to changing market conditions, reductions in the fair value of the investment portfolio can also be reflective of payments for large capital projects as well as operational expenses.
The attached Investment Portfolio Report (Attachment B) and Investment Report (Attachment C) were prepared by the City's investment manager, Insight Investment, with input from the City's Finance Department. The Portfolio Report includes all investments while the Investment Report includes only those investments managed by Insight Investment.
CalTRUST is a joint powers authority created by and for California public agencies to pool their assets and invest local agency funds until they are needed. Any California public agency may participate in the CalTRUST, including the state, counties, cities, and special districts. The City invests portions of investable funds of the portfolio in the Short Term CalTRUST account with target investment offunds up to two years. The City also invests portions of the investable funds of the portfolio in the Medium Term CalTRUST account with target investment of funds between one and three years.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a California State offered and administered investment pool made available to local agencies within the State. This program offers local agencies, such as the City, the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer's Office professional investment staff. The State of California cannot borrow or withhold LAIF money per California statute.
All City funds, including the General Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund and others -except those identified in Attachment D, are pooled and invested, with earned interest allocated quarterly based on the average daily cash balance in each fund. The funds on deposit at LAIF and CalTRUST earn interest at variable rates. The interest rate for the month ending September 30, 2025, is estimated at
4.21 % for LAIF, 4.16% for the CalTRUST short-term fund, and 3.97% for the CalTRUST medium-term fund.
For fixed income securities, the difference between amortized cost and .fair value is considered an unrealized gain or loss. A realized loss is when the principal of the security is redeemed before its maturity date at a fair value lower than its amortized cost value. The amortized cost value of the externally managed investment portfolio is $84,739,686; the fair value is $85,600,465 for an unrealized gain of $860,779 or 1.02% of the total amortized cost value. The source of the fair value information for the U.S. Treasury Notes, the U.S. Instrumentalities, Corporate Notes, and Municipal Bonds is Interactive Data Corporation.

Coupon: A bond's coupon is the periodic interest payment made to the holder of the fixed income security during the life of the bond. Coupon payments can be made monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Book Yield: The Book Yield is that rate of return that will make the present value of the future cash flows of a fixed income security equal to the price paid for the security. This assumes that the security will be held to its maturity.
Current Yield: Annual rate of return on an investment expressed as a percentage. Current Yield of a fixed income security is the annualized earnings (coupon) divided by the bond's market value as of the valuation date.
One Year Total Yield: The One Year Total Yield or One Year Return represents the portfolio's percentage change over a year's time, factoring in interest payments, changes in market value and reinvestment of distributions.

1.04 1.19
Weighted Average Yield: The total yield on a bond portfolio divided by the number of bonds contained in it, weighted for the size of each bond so that the yield of large holdings does not drown out the calculation of yields on small holdings.
Yield to Maturity: The Yield to Maturity (YTM)_or Market Yield to Maturity of a fixed income security is that rate of interest that will make the present value of the future cash flows equal to the market value as of the valuation date, assuming the bond is held to maturity. 4of35 ATTACHMENT A

CITY OF POWAY
Economic Indicators and Monetary Policy
The FOMC delivered a 25bp cut to the Fed Funds rate, taking it to a target range of 4% to 4.25%.
It marked the first rate cut since December 2024. The only dissenting vote was from the newest member, Stephen Miran, who voted for a 50bp cut. The Fed's updated "dot plot" reflected two further additional rate cuts by year-end, a slightly faster profile than in June (Chart 1 ). Individual projections were bifurcated with six members projecting no further rate cuts this year.
The FOMC cited labor market conditions as the main driver of its decision to cut rates, noting "Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up" and "downside risks to employment have risen."
This decision reflected increasingly finely-balanced labor market metrics. The US economy added 22,000 jobs in August, below expectations for 75,000. The two previous months were revised down by 21 ,000, adding overall to the total downward revisions year-to-date (Chart 2).
Job gains continued to be heavily concentrated in healthcare and leisure and hospitality. The unemployment rate remained at 4.3% while the broader U6 unemployment measure increased from 7.9% to 8.1%, a new post-pandemic high. Elsewhere, the ratio of job openings to unemployed edged below one for the first time since 2017. Initial jobless claims briefly reached 264,000, the highest since 2021, albeit reports later indicated this was inflated by cases of fraud in Texas. The measure subsequently eased to 218,000 by the end of the month.
Continuing jobless claims remained around cycle highs.
Inflation remained above-target (which the FOMC also acknowledged). Headline CPI rose from
2.7% to 2.9% and PCE increased from 2.6% to 2.7%. Core CPI remained at 3.1 % and core PCE remained at 2. 9%. Inflation was notable in food, shelter and "supercore" (ie excluding food, energy and shelter) categories. Tariff inflation was evident in small categories like televisions, sewing machines and jewelry.
The third estimate of Q2 GDP growth was revised up from 3.3% to 3.8% SAAR, which reflected upward revisions to consumption and business investment.
Interest Rate Summary
It was a risk-on month for assets and longer-dated Treasury yields eased. At the end of September, the 3-month US Treasury bill yielded 3.93%, the 6-month US Treasury bill yielded
3.84%, the 2-year us Treasury note yielded 3.61 %, the 5-year US Treasury note yielded 3.74% and the 10-year US Treasury note yielded 4.15%.

Approval of an Amendment to the Agreement between the City of Poway and Black & Veatch Corporation for Engineering Design Services for the Poway Treated Water Facilities and Redundant Pipeline Project.
With the goal of increasing the reliability of drinking water for water customers now and for generations to come, the City of Poway (City) is undertaking its largest capital improvement program in the City's history referred to as the Water Infrastructure Improvement Program (Program). The Program was presented to the City Council as an informational item, to provide updates and to request approval of the various components on March 18, 2020; June 16, 2020; October 20, 2020; November 17, 2020; March 16, 2021; April 20, 2021; June 1, 2021; July 20, 2021; August 17, 2021; April 5, 2022; October 18, 2022; February 7, 2023; May 16, 2023; August 15, 2023; September 19, 2023; November 19, 2024; April 15, 2025; and September 16, 2025. A comprehensive summary of the project background and status including photos and time lapse construction video can be found on the project webpage: https://poway.org/water-projects.
During the iterative design process for Phase 3 of the Program, various negotiations and considerations involving the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) and the Ramona Municipal Water District (Ramona) have led to revisions of the original planning-level design and the engineering consultant's draft design submittals. Significant scope revisions during this design phase are now required to meet the revised project needs. This amendment adds the design funds needed to finalize the design plans in accordance with the revised project needs.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council approve the Tenth Amendment to the Agreement between the City of Poway and Black & Veatch Corporation for Engineering Design Services for the Poway Treated Water Facilities and Redundant Pipeline Project and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Program
Overview:
The
City
inherited
its
water
distribution
system
when
it
was
incorporated
as
a
city
in
1980.
Drinking
water
health
and
safety
standards
have
evolved
over
time
and
while
the
City
conscientiously
budgeted
for
water
infrastructure
improvements,
this
Program
addresses
key
improvements
identified
in
a
mutual
agreement
with
the
State
of
Califorhia
Water
Resources
Control
Board
Division
of
Drinking
Water
(DDW).
It
includes
the
following
three
projects:
Phase
I -Clearwell
Bypass
Project
The
Clearwell
Bypass
Project
consists
of
temporary
and
permanent
bypass
pipelines,
a
temporary
pump
station,
a pressure
regulating
station
and
two
temporary
bypass
tanks.
Each
tank
has
a storage
capacity
of
1.4 m
illion
gallons
(MG).
The
bypass
pipelines,
pump
station
and
pressure
regulating
facility
are
located
with
in City
property
at
the
Lester
J.
Berglund
Water
Treatment
Plant
(Berglund
WTP)
site,
as
well
as
the
Public
Works
Operations
Yard
and
parking
lot.
The
two
temporary
bypass
tanks
are
located
on
the
softball
field
at
Lake
Poway
Park
. Construction
of
the
bypass
system
allowed
the
original
Clearwell
to
be
taken
offline
for
replacement.
Phase
II -Clearwell
Replacement
Project
The
Clearwell
Replacement
Project
consists
of
replacing
the
1964-vintage
lined
and
covered
embankment
style
Clearwell
with
two
new
4-million-gallon
circular
prestressed
concrete
tanks.
The
old
Clearwell
had
reached
the
end
of
its
useful
life
and
needed
replacement
to
maintain
reliable
service
to
residents
within
the
City's
service
area.
The
overflow
structure
of
the
Clearwell
will
also
be
replaced
with
a new
structure
designed
with
industry
standard
air
gaps.
Phase
Ill
-Treated
Water
Facilities
Project
The
Treated
Water
Facilities
(TWF)
Project
provides
the
City
with
its
first
treated
water
connection
to
the
SDCWA
system
and
is
a cooperative
project
with
both
Ramona
and
SDCWA.
The
project
will
include
a
new
treated
water
connection
and
flow
control
facility
on
Espola
Road,
a
new
bidirectional
treated
water
pipeline,
a
pump
station
and
forebay,
and
a transmission
pipeline
providing
redundancy
to
the
existing
single
transmission
pipeline
on
Lake
Poway
Road.
Discussion: Phase
I -Clearwell
Bypass
Project
Phase
I of
the
Program,
the
Clearwell
Bypass
Project,
is
an
enabling
project
for
subsequent
phases
of
work
. A
project
overview
map
is
provided
as
Attachment
B.
The
original
Clearwell
was
an
embankment
style
lined
and
covered
facility
constructed
in
1964.
There
was
no
means
of
bypassing
the
facility
to
construct
the
replacement
Clearwell,
hence,
construction
of
the
bypass
project,
consisting
of
above
and
below
ground
pipelines,
a temporary
pump
station,
a temporary
pressure
regulating
station
and
two
temporary
bolted-steel
tanks
was
completed
in
September
2022
.
The
project
includes
a
permanent
36-inch
diameter
cement
mortar
lined
and
coated
(CML&C)
steel
bypass
pipeline,
a
temporary
pump
station
to
pump
water
up
to
the
two
1.4 MG
temporary
tanks,
temporary
24-inch
diameter
bypass
piping
and
a pressure
control
facility.
The
bypass
system
operates
by
sending
treated
water
through
the
permanent
bypass
pipeline
to
both
the
distribution
system
and
the
temporary
pump
station
from
where
the
temporary
tanks
are
filled,
and
water
is
then
drawn
out
of
the
temporary
tanks
through
the
pressure
control
facility
and
out
into
the
distribution
system
in
response
to
demand.
System
Operators
at
Berglund
WTP
control
the
overall
rate
of
flow
through
the
bypass
to
mimic
the
deeper
volumetric
fill
and
draw
cycles
that
were
performed
by
the
original
Clearwell.
The
bypass
system
was
tested
and
has
been
successfully
operating
since
November
2022.
This
infrastructure
enables
bypassing
the
existing
Clearwell
and
facilitated
taking
it offline
for
replacement.
2 of
26 December 2, 2025, Item #5
The
Clearwell
Bypass
Project
was
completed
under
budget.
Phase
II -Clearwell
Replacement
Project
The
Clearwell
Replacement
Project
replaces
the
former
Clearwell
with
two
4 MG
circular
prestressed
concrete
tanks.
A
project
overview
map
is
provided
as
Attachment
C.
The
dual
tanks
provide
redundancy
and
operational
flexibility,
allowing
one
tank
to
be
taken
offline
for
future
maintenance
and
repairs
while
the
other
provides
continuous,
uninterrupted
service.
The
prestressed
concrete
tanks
also
provide
superior
seismic
performance
and
a
longer
asset
life
of
approximately
75 years.
With
this
project,
the
overflow
structures
will
also
be
constructed
with
physically
separated
air
gaps,
in
accordance
with
the
agreement
with
DOW.
This
phase
of
work
began
in
January
2024
with
demolition
of
the
existing Clearwell,
demolition
and
removal
of
conflicting
sections
of
old
pipe,
mass
grading
and
earthwork
along
with
soil
processing
for
subsequent
onsite
reuse
of
material,
realignment
of
two
large
diameter
storm
drains
outside
the
footprint
of
the
new
Clearwell
tanks,
construction
of
site
retaining
walls,
construction
of
a
new
drain
vault
and
outlet
control
valve
vault,
installation
of
new
CML&C
steel
pipe,
subgrade
preparation
and
liner
installation,
and
concrete
tank
construction.
The
Clearwell
Replacement
project
is
approximately
90%
complete
and
recently
reached
a
significant
milestone
with
the
completion
of
all
major
concrete
and
piping
work
. Challenges
during
the
project
included
weather
delays
during
the
winters
of
2024
and
2025
and
the
presence
of
rock
throughout
the
site
. However,
the
project
is
on
schedule
for
commissioning
in
Spring
of
2026
and
is
currently
under
budget.
Phase
Ill
-Treated
Water
Facilities
Project
The
TWF
Project
will
provide
the
City
with
its
first
treated
water
supply
. A
project
overview
map
is
provided
as
Attachment
D.
The
TWF
project
will
fulfill
two
important
reliability
and
redundancy
principles:
(1)
prov
ide
a
secondary
source
of
drinking
water
to
the
City
in
the
event
of
either
an
interruption
to
the
untreated
supply
or
unplanned
outage
at
Berglund
WTP,
and
(2)
allow
for
planned
outages
at
the
Berglund
WTP
to
facilitate
maintenance
and
rehabilitation
work
. Future
maintenance
and
rehabilitation
work
at
Berglund
WTP
is
not
currently
within
the
scope
of
the
Program
and
the
TWF
project
is
an
important
enabling
project
toward
this
goal.
The
TWF
project
has
undergone
several
iterations
since
the
Program
began.
The
project
was
originally
conceptualized
as
a
new
Flow
Control
Facility
(FCF)
designated
POW-5
which
would
be
connected
to
the
SDCWA
Ramona
Pipeline,
which
terminates
on
Espola
Road
near
the
Blue
Sky
Ecological
Preserve,
a
new
treated
water
pipeline
on
Espola
and
Lake
Poway
Roads,
and
a
forebay
and
pump
station
on
Lake
Poway
Road
("original
project").
A
new
pump
station
is
needed
to
boost
pressure
from
the
available
pressure
in
the
Ramona
Pipeline
up
to
the
elevation
of
the
new
Clearwells.
During
the
original
design
which
was
performed
in
2022-2023
it was
determined
the
projected
cost
of
this
project
configuration,
which
was
to
be
entirely
paid
by
the
City,
was
prohibitively
high,
which
prompted
staff,
the
Program
Manager,
and
the
Design
Consultant
to
review
other
options
.
Staff,
the
Program
Manager,
and
Design
Consultant
developed
a
new
TWF
project
configuration
that
maximized
use
of
existing
facilities
by
constructing
a
connection
to
the
Ramona
system
immediately
downstream
of
the
existing
RAM-3
Flow
Control
Facility
and
using
existing
Ramona
and
City
pipelines
to
deliver
SDCWA
treated
water
to
the
new
Clearwells
("reconfigured
project'').
These
existing
pipelines
were
originally
constructed
so
the
City
could
provide
Ramona
with
an
emergency
source
of
treated
water
from
the
Berglund
WTP
during
short
term
outages
on
the
SDCWA
treated
water
system.
This
project
would
enable
flow
of
treated
water
from
the
SDCWA
Ramona
pipeline
to
the
City
during
times
when
the
City
needs
treated water
(i.e.,
when
the
Berglund
WTP
is
off-line
for
maintenance
or
in
an
emergency)
and
from
the
City
to
Ramona
(i.e
., when
the
SDCWA
system
is
down
for
maintenance
or
when
Ramona
desires
to
purchase
water
from
the
City).

with Ramona which sets forth the framework to cooperate during project design was approved by the Council on November 19, 2024.
During the completion of the reconfigured project design, SDCWA, Ramona and the City revisited discussions on a collaborative project like the originally contemplated project. These discussions were prompted by SDCWA's newly identified need to rehabilitate their Crossover Pipeline, which is currently the sole source of untreated water to the City. Rehabilitation of the Crossover Pipeline, which SDCWA proposes to conduct in phases, necessitates SDCWA to provide the City with an alternative source of water. Several options to supply Poway with water during multiple Crossover Pipeline shutdowns were discussed among Poway and SDCWA and the conclusion was to revisit the "original project'' with modifications. The new project, hereinafter referred to as the "revised project'' consists of the following:
• New FCF on Espola Road adjacent to RAM-3 and designated as the POW-6 FCF. • New 30-inch diameter bidirectional pipeline in Espola Road. • New forebay and pump station designated as Pump Station No. 16. • 36-inch redundant pipeline on Lake Poway Road.
• Abandonment of 24 and 27-inch diameter pipelines as well as the RAM-2 FCF.
The revised project will provide the City with treated water during SDCWA's Crossover Pipeline rehabilitation project as well as serve as the permanent treated water connection for overall redundancy and to allow Berglund WTP to be taken offline for maintenance and repairs. The revised project also will allow the City to provide locally treated water to Ramona either on the SDCWA's behalf (when the Ramona pipeline is out of service) or by direct agreement between the City and Ramona.
The three agencies have provisionally agreed on a cost share arrangement to fund the project, meaning the project is no longer cost prohibitive.
Environmental Review:
This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funds are available in the relevant Capital Improvement Project account WTR0028 to amend the Agreement for the recommended amount of $380,062. The City proactively planned for this project as part of the development process for the FY 2025-26 budget, with funds appropriated from the Water Enterprise Fund (5100).

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Design Services for the Treated Water Facilities Project (Project No. WTR0028)
AMENDMENT NO.10
The scope of services defined herein are for design components that have been revised after completion of the April 2025 version of the Updated Supplemental Preliminary Design Report (April 2025 UPDR) and partial completion of 90% design based on the previously defined Project scope per Amendment No. 8.
The scope herein includes the work for the revisions stated below, in addition to all remaining work to be completed per the original scope of services, executed on 5th day of April 2022 that was not impacted by the revisions. The major design revisions to the scope of services previously defined per Amendment No. 8, as conceptually shown in Figure 1, are as follows:
Modifications to the Existing 27-inch Ramona Pipeline downstream of RAM-3 for connection with new 30-inch Pipeline and for connection to future POW-6 Flow Control Facility (POW-6), which will be designed and constructed by the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) • Treated water will be sent to Poway and Ramona from POW-6. It is assumed that POW-6 will provide necessary flow control to distribute flows to Poway and Ramona (i.e. flow control valves are not required downstream of POW-6). Isolation valves will be provided as part of this Project downstream of POW-6 (one or two each for Poway and Ramona), it is assumed that all valves will be electrically actuated (open/close, non-modulating) and located in a vault (or two separate vaults).
• A 27-inch butterfly valve will be installed to maintain RAM-3 water deliveries, while the new 30-inch Pipeline is in construction.
• Existing 27-inch RMWD Pipeline and 24-inch Poway Pipeline will be abandoned and slurry filled by SDCWA.
New 30-inch Pipeline (From RAM-6 towards Pump Station 16 on Espola Road and Lake Poway Road)
• New 30-inch Pipeline will convey flow from POW-6 to Pump Station 16 (PS16). The pipeline alignment will generally follow the alignment of the previously designed 36" Pipeline. The 30-inch Pipeline will transition to 36-inch just upstream of the SDCWA aqueduct crossings (approximately at STA 44+75).
• The 30-inch Pipeline will include an inter-tie with the existing 20" Pipeline per the previous 36" Pipeline design (at STA 22+38.56).
• City requested that an evaluation on pipeline material options (i.e. steel vs. PVC) be performed. A brief section summarizing the recommended material selection will be ~-BLACK&VEATCH

Phased Construction of Improvements
• Due to the anticipated timing of the POW-6 project, it is assumed that the improvements will be constructed in two phases -Phase 1 for the pipeline portion of the Project (up to approximately Station 47+50} and Phase 2 for the eastern portion of the pipeline towards PS16 and all the work at PS16, its discharge pipeline, and the improvements at Lester J.
Berglund Water Treatment Plant (WTP). However, it is assumed that a single bid package will be prepared to include all Project scope with schedule requirements for phased construction.
Radio Communication between PS 16 and new POW-6
• Design provisions to allow for communication between PS16 and new POW-6 will be provided. It is assumed that flow signals from the new POW-6 will be communicated to plant SCADA by means of radio/telemetry to the PS16 PLC Panel, where it will be integrated into the existing SCADA system. It is assumed that design of a new radio tower at the PS16 site will be included in this Project, but the design and installation of a new radio tower at POW-6 will be provided by SDCWA.
• It is assumed that the recommendations from the Radio Survey Report prepared by Tesco Controls in 2023 are still valid for the radio tower design at PS16 (antenna at 35 ft above ground at PS16). The study was conducted for radio communication between the previously proposed POW-5 and PS16. The currently proposed POW-6 is located generally on the path between POW-5 and PS16 but closer to PS16. It is assumed that a new radio survey will not be required.
Removal Design Elements from Amendment No. 8 Superseded by this Amendment • Remove the following design components from the current 90% design documents:
o Ramona Flow Control Vault
o Modifications to RAM-2
o Lake Poway Road Pipeline Connection between the existing 24-inch Poway Pipeline to Poway's existing 36-inch pipeline as well as the new 36-inch Transmission Pipeline. o Inter-tie between the 24-inch Pipeline to Poway's 20-inch Pipeline near the SDCWA easement and Espola Road

2.3 Updated Hydraulic and Surge Analysis -Consultant shall update the hydraulic and surge analysis previously performed in March 2025 to reflect the revised Project scope.
In Section 5.1.5.1 (Scenario E/B) of the Hydraulic & Surge Analysis TM (March 2025 Hydraulic & Surge Analysis TM), future operation of the reverse flow scenario from the Poway Clearwells to the Ramona Tank, utilizing a 30-inch Pipeline on Espola Road, was assessed. At the time of the study, it was assumed that the gravity flow operation will be regulated by a control valve located near RAM-3, inside the Ramona Flow Control Valve Vault. Per the revised Project scope, this flow control valve vault is to be located within the PS 16 site (Poway Flow Control Vault).
In Section 5.3.2 of the March 2025 Hydraulic & Surge Analysis TM, transient simulations were also performed for operation of an 18-inch plug valve to mitigate surge conditions when sending flows from Poway to Ramona. Use of the existing 24-inch Poway Pipeline and 27-inch Ramona Pipeline (between RAM-2 and RAM-3) was assumed in the transient simulations.
Hydraulic and Surge Analysis -Consultant shall update the March 2025 Hydraulic & Surge Analysis to reflect the revised Project scope to utilize the 30-inch Pipeline on Espola and the Poway Flow Control Vault (for the flow scenario from the Poway Clearwell to the Ramona Tank) to be located at the PS16 site. Updated recommendations on valve type, size and the closing time will be provided in the updated PDR and will be incorporated into the updated 90% design.
It is assumed that:
• The transient model to be updated by the Consultant will be for the flow scenario from Poway to Ramona and not extend beyond the connection with POW-6. • It is assumed that SDCWA will perform the hydraulic and surge analysis for flow distribution from POW-6 to Poway and Ramona as part of their design of POW-6 and that information of the range of available HGL downstream of POW-6 will be provided to Poway (for incorporation into the hydraulic profile drawing). • It is assumed that the flows to be conveyed from POW-6 to PS16 range from 3 cfs to 24 cfs (previously assumed to be 6 cfs to 20 cfs).
• It is assumed that the flows to be conveyed from Poway to Ramona range from 6 cfs to
17.25 cfs (no change from the previous assumptions.
• Vacuum valves are included in this effort. If a mechanical surge system (i.e. tank) is required upstream of the Poway Forebay, design of that type of system would be done as an additional service upon approval by the City.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• Updated PDR reflective of the revised Project scope per this Amendment. A draft and final Updated PDR are assumed. Findings from the Updated Hydraulic & Surge Analysis will be included in the Updated PDR (no separate updated TMs will be prepared).

CITY COUNCIL

Award of Agreement to Prestige Concrete for Public Facilities Renovation Community Road Median Concrete Replacement
An informal request for quotes for Public Facilities Renovation Community Road Median Concrete Replacement was requested on March 3, 2025, by the City of Poway (City). The City participates in California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCM) which allows informal bidding procedures for public works projects under $220,000. City staff (staff) contacted CUPCCM registered companies to provide quotes for the Community Road Median Concrete Replacement project. Three (3) quotes were received and reviewed by staff. Staff determined Prestige Concrete to be qualified to provide these services at the best value to the City.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council award the Agreement for Public Facilities Renovation Community Road Concrete Replacement to Prestige Concrete in the amount of $120,140 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. During the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 budget process, funds were allocated to Public Facilities Renovation General Maintenance (MN071 ). It was determined a portion of the funds would be utilized for adding concrete at the Community Road median north and south of Metate Lane. Due to the project not being completed within FY 2024-25, the allocated funds were carried forward to FY 2025-26 to ensure completion of the planned improvements.
The existing medians along Community Road, extending approximately 280 ft south and 630 ft north of Metate Lane, have become difficult and costly to maintain in their current condition. Replacing the 1 of26

medians
with
decorative
concrete
will
significantly
reduce
ongoing
maintenance
requirements,
lower
long-term
costs,
and
enhance
the
overall
appearance
of
the
corridor.
The
proposed
improvement
project
is
expected
to
take
approximately
two
(2)
weeks
to
complete,
with
efforts
made
to
minimize
impacts
on

properties.

December 2, 2025, Item #6
Prestige Concrete reserves the right, that in the event of significant material or commodity price escalation after the bid date, to equitably adjust its price which will be reconciled upon contract execution. Our proposal is also based on industry standard material and equipment delivery lead times after approval. Significant supplier delays in material or equipment delivery schedules shall be an excusable delay and the project schedule will be equitably adjusted accordingly. In addition, Prestige Contracting, Inc. 's contract to perform the work subject to this proposal will contain mutually agreeable terms to address significant material or commodity price escalation and delivery delays that are not foreseen at contract execution.
For quantitative reasons, our proposal may be broken down into various items along with corresponding quantities and unit prices. These such items may not necessarily be meant to stand alone. In other words, fixed costs, mobilizations, demobilizations, equipment, general conditions and rates of productivity may be shared among and spread across various items throughout our proposal, so deletion of one item may cause the cost of other items to increase. Therefore, if quantities increase or decrease, or if items are eliminated completely, the above unit pricing of the remaining line items may increase.
Unless noted otherwise, our proposal is based on a lump sum total with all items listed being included in the lump sum. If individual item pricing is given, this is for convenience only. Certain set costs may be spread out over all of the line items, therefore if any individual items are deleted, this may cause an increase in price of the remaining line items.
If Prestige Concrete is to be held liable for ADA maximum slope compliance, then verification of slopes must be made within 72 hours of each pour, by others. Due to conditions beyond our control, such as potential soil movement, concrete curling, etc., PC/ cannot be held liable for ADA issues not discovered within 72 hours of pour.
For installations incorporating an "Etched", "Top Cast" or "Retardant" finish on the concrete, some inconsistencies in the amount of aggregate exposure in the finish are to be anticipated. Concrete mix designs with high strength or high cement content, particularly those in excess of 3,000 psi, are more prone to cause inconsistencies in these types of finishes. Inclement weather (very hot or very cold) may also cause inconsistencies in these types of finishes. Prestige Concrete can not to be held liable for inconsistencies in the finish when these factors are present. Additionally, it is not uncommon for a "laitance" or "white milky film to appear on the surface with these types of finishes. A light acid bath or buff wash will typically remove this laitance. The cost for such additional cleaning is not included in the pricing unless specifically stated above.
Due to discrepancies between the architectural, structural, civil and landscape plans, details and specifications, this proposal is based on the plans, details and specifications for site landscape construction and not architectural, structural and/or civil construction unless noted otherwise.
IN THE EVENT THAT THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT SERVE AS THE PRIMARY CONTRACT, IT IS THE INTENT THAT
THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL BE INCORPORATED AS AN ADDENDUM INTO THE FINAL CONTRACT.
SITE CONCRETE STANDARD EXCLUSIONS/ TERMS/ CONDITIONS/ QUALIFICATIONS
THESE ITEMS APPLY IF NOT SPECIFICALLY QUALIFIED ABOVE

Resolutions Approving the Second Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement and Administrative Agreement No. 1 with the City of San Diego The City of Poway (City) is in a long-standing Agreement with the City of San Diego (San Diego) and various local Participating Agencies (PAs) for service capacity in the Metropolitan Sewerage System (Metro System), a regional wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal system. The operation and administration of the system is currently governed by the 2021 Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (ARA) by and between San Diego and the PAs. Under the ARA, San Diego acts as one party, while the Metro Joint Powers Authority (Metro JPA), founded by the PAs in 2000, represents and acts on their collective behalf.
During the development of the 2021 ARA, six (6) outstanding items were deferred for future negotiation to expedite approval of the Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (SARA) and the accompanying Administrative Agreement No. 1 (AA- 1) now before the Parties are intended to resolve those items, pending approval by each PAs governing body. The SARA and AA-1 have been rigorously reviewed and recommended for PAs approval by the Metro JPA and San Diego.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council approve the Resolutions adopting the Second Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement and Administrative Agreement No. 1 between the City of Poway and the City of San Diego in a form substantially similar to the version of the Agreement attached thereto, and authorizing the City Manager to approve non-substantive changes and execute the Agreement.
Background:
The City owns and operates a wastewater collection system that serves residents in the City's service area. The City does not own a wastewater treatment plant and does not treat sewage, so sewage flows 1 of 139
December 2, 2025, Item #7
are conveyed via sewer lift stations, large diameter pipelines and gravity to San Diego's regional wastewater system. San Diego's Metro System spans throughout a large portion of San Diego County (County) and includes collection lines, sewer lift stations, and treatment plants. In this system, some flows are treated at San Diego's North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) where they are reclaimed for beneficial use, and some flows are treated at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWTP) where they are discharged into the Pacific Ocean. Sewage flows from other municipalities and special districts in the County flow into the Metro System under long-standing joint service agreements and are treated at the aforementioned or other facilities.
San Diego's Metropolitan Wastewater Commission (Metro Commission) was formed pursuant to the terms of the 1998 Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement as an advisory board to San Diego. The Metro Commission is comprised of one representative from each PA and advises on matters affecting the Metro System. In 2001, the PAs formed the MetroJPA to provide a unified body beyond San Diego's governance. As a legal entity the Metro JPA can hire legal, engineering, financial, and administrative consultants to generally act on behalf of the PAs and to carry out audits of San Diego's Metro System operations.
Members of the Metro JPA represent approximately 35% of the sewage flow into the Metro System.
The Metro JPA is comprised of twelve (12) PAs including the Cities of Poway, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, El Cajon, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and National City, the Otay Water District, and Padre Dam Municipal Water District, and County of San Diego. Poway has a maximum allowable system flow of 11.9 million gallons a day (MGD) out of 415.3 MGD of Metro System contractual capacity. The City of Poway budgeted $4,219,086 in Fiscal Year 2025-26 for Metro System annual costs, for anticipated average flows of 2.85 MGD.
The NCWRP is currently undergoing a significant expansion that is part of the Pure Water Project (Pure Water) designed to enhance San Diego's water independence and address long-term wastewater costs. Pure Water is a 20-year (2015-2035) multi-phased water and wastewater capital improvement program that is expected to create 83 MGD, by 2035, of locally controlled water and to provide one third of San Diego's total potable water needs. Pure Water will divert flow from the PLWTP ocean outfall which will allow San Diego to avoid costly upgrades otherwise required to the PLWTP, benefiting all PAs, including Poway.
In 2021 San Diego and the PAs amended the 1998 Agreement by executing the ARA to address costs and revenues associated with Phase 1 of Pure Water. The ARA provided that within one (1) year the Parties would meet and negotiate amendments to address outstanding items, including costs, revenues and billing systems associated with Pure Water, and the related construction, expansion and/or modification of Metro System facilities beyond Phase 1 (i.e. Pure Water Phase 2). Pure Water Phase 1 is 81 % complete and is scheduled to be commissioned in late 2026. Phase 1 will produce 30 MGD of repurified water that will be stored in Lake Miramar. Pure Water Phase 2 is in the planning stages and when completed it will produce 53 MGD of repurified water. San Diego staff are assessing changed conditions and will identify a potentially updated approach to Phase 2 by late 2026.
The Second Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (SARA) SARA (Attachment A) is the proposed second amendment to the 1998 Agreement and is intended to update and modernize the 2021 ARA, add flexibility to future amendments via administrative agreements, and address the six (6) outstanding items identified in the ARA. When unanimously approved by the PAs and San Diego, the SARA will be adopted and will replace the ARA. 2 of 139
December 2, 2025, Item #7
Section 2.9 of the ARA deferred on the following issues and required the Parties negotiate amendments to the ARA to address them:
1. The allocation of Pure Water Costs between San Diego's water system and the Metro System;
2. Alternative billing methodologies for Metro System costs;
3. The exclusion of costs related to the industrial discharges, inspection, and monitoring program within San Diego;
4. The inclusion of costs for regional, non-Metro System potable reuse projects in calculating the Capital Expense Rates;
5. A sample calculation of Repurified Water Revenue; and
6. Provisions for the conveyance and treatment of wastewater generated at US military bases.
Additionally, SARA addresses enforcement actions from regulatory agencies as they relate to sanitary sewer overflows. In the event a regulatory agency, imposes any penalty, fine, or enforcement action, to enforce regulatory requirements, San Diego will provide a summary of its findings regarding causation and a preliminary determination regarding the allocation of penalties. San Diego's determination will be subject to review by the Metro Commission. The scope of the Metro Commission's review is included in the language in Section 2.5.5. The updated language ensures that the PAs and qualified technical staff will be involved within 30 days of submitting a report. San Diego will be required to provide a copy of any report submitted to a regulatory agency in response to any enforcement action.
Administrative Agreement No. 1 (AA-1)
As part of the SARA development process, AA-1 (Attachment B) was created as a derivative agreement between the Metro System Parties for the Unified Management of Industrial Waste Discharge Pretreatment and Enhanced Source Control Programs. The purpose of AA-1 is to establish a program that ensures San Diego can meet the water quality requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. San Diego and the PAs determined that centralized operation of an Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program provides a net benefit to the Parties of the Metro System. With the approval of SARA, the PAs are delegating full authority to San Diego to enforce an industrial pretreatment and source control program which meets the requirements of federal and state law.
Under the SARA and AA-1, San Diego will directly issue permits to Industrial Users (I Us) on behalf of the City, inspect I Us for compliance, levy and collect permitting fees, fines, and penalties, and recover other costs from I Us discharging to the Metro System. Currently, permits are issued by San Diego then submitted to the City to provide a copy to the I Us in the system. Each PA will ensure all I Us in their wastewater system are regulated by the San Diego Industrial Pretreatment Program and their own industrial pretreatment programs. Each PA must identify new IUs and maintain an inventory of IUs.
Each PA is responsible for a violation of any applicable laws or regulations associated with discharge of wastewater into the Metro System.
AA-1 requires that Food Service Establishments (FSEs) and dischargers of Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG) are to be regulated and monitored by the City and not San Diego. The City must adopt an ordinance, by June 30 following the effective date of this Agreement, conform to the pretreatment ordinance of San Diego, and enforce Poway municipal code relating to rules and regulations for wastewater discharge from FSEs.

December 2, 2025, Item #7
Discussion:
The City's costs to the Metro System are expected to increase under the SARA due to the transition from strength-based billing (SBB) to functional allocated billing (FAB); the change is intended to more accurately charge each agency based on how they use the Metro System and to shift the cost recovery from variable charges to fixed charges.
A Metro JPA study conducted in July 2025 by Stantec Consulting on behalf of the PAs (Attachment G) showed that the switch to FAB will increase Poway's cost-share of the Metro System total annual costs from 1.2% to 1.4%, a roughly 16.7% cost increase. Using the baseline Fiscal Year 2023-24 period included in the report, in which the City's annual cost-share was $3,956,404, staff estimate that a projected increase of $660,719 will reflect in the Metro System charges for the Sewer Pumping & Disposal budget (403070-28010), effective July 1 following adoption of the SARA.
In addition to the City's expected increased cost-share percentage in the SARA, it is important to note that total annual Metro System cost, and thus the City's annual fee, will also increase in the coming years due to the ongoing and planned phases of the Pure Water capital improvements as well as the diversion of wastewater flows from the East County Advanced Water Purification Joint Powers Authority (ECAWP JPA). Pure Water projects were included in San Diego's 2015 PLWTP NPDES permit renewal with a goal of offloading 83 MGD of wastewater and turning it into potable drinking water by 2035. Pure Water was chosen in the place of otherwise required wastewater treatment facilities improvements at NCWRP and PLWTP as Pure Water added a secondary water supply reliability benefit and allowed for capital cost-sharing between wastewater and water funds. Section 5 of SARA addresses Metro System revenues, including recycled and repurified water produced by San Diego.
Revenues attributable to the Metro System would be allocated to San Diego and the PAs in the proportions set forth in Distribution of Wastewater System Capacity Rights (Attachment D, Exhibit B).
Poway staff are currently working with an engineering consultant to develop a new sewer model and infiltration and inflow (1/1) analysis as part of the Sewer Master Plan CIP project. An 1/1 analysis involves qualified engineers strategically placing flow meters in the sewer collection system and recording flow data. Following a review and analysis offlow monitoring and rainfall data, the analysis will determine minimum average, peak dry and wet weather flow rates at several monitoring locations. This flow monitoring program will quantify 1/1 contributions across the collection system and provide the critical data needed to develop a reliable hydraulic sewer model. The analysis will assist in identifying the most cost-effective projects to lower 1/1 and decrease fixed capacity. If Poway can lower inflow and infiltration into the sewer collection system and provide supportive data, Poway could decrease its annual fixed capacity percentage and Metro System costs.
Considering the City's decades-long reliance and participation in the Metro System, lack of City-owned treatment and discharge facilities, geographic proximity to the regional wastewater system, and the cost efficiencies of San Diego's scale, continued participation in the Metro System remains essential.
The SARA preserves the City's wastewater service sustainably, reliably, and without interruption. It renews the cooperative framework between the Metro JPA and San Diego, ensuring the City's representation, treatment capacity, and advisory role for the next forty (40) years.
City staff recommends approval of the resolutions adopting SARA and AA-1, with or without minor non-substantive revisions. Both agreements were developed during numerous meetings and extensive negotiations between the Metro JPA and San Diego, and are recommended for adoption on behalf of all PAs.
4 of 139
December 2, 2025, Item #7
Approval and execution of these Agreements represent a major milestone in the regional governance of the Metro System for the next forty (40) years.
Environmental Review:
This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed amended Agreement will result in a different method of calculating charges paid by the City. Based on the approval and adoption timeline established in the SARA, approval will not impact Fiscal Year 2025-26 Sewer Pumping & Disposal budget (403070-28010). The Sewer Enterprise Fund (F5200) is the funding source for the Sewer & Disposal division budget. Staff began incorporating the City's estimated share of Metro JPA's Pure Water Project costs into rates as part of a long-range financial management strategy to mitigate the impacts of this project to ratepayers. Funds collected have been set aside in reserves. As such, a combination of reserve drawdowns and rate increases will be used over the coming years to temper the impacts to ratepayers.
City staff estimate that, once the twelve PAs and the City of San Diego approve the SARA, its adoption on July 1 of the following fiscal year will result in an 8.7% cost increase to the Sewer Enterprise Fund for the Sewer Pumping & Disposal budget's Metro System charges (403070-28010). Cost increases incurred for wastewater treatment and disposal services from the Metro JPA are considered "pass through" costs. Under the current wastewater rate proposal introduced at the November 18, 2025, City Council meeting with a January 20, 2026, set Proposition 218 hearing date, these pass-through rate increases would be passed on annually to City customers for those wholesale wastewater treatment and disposal costs outside of the City's control.

A copy of this report was sent to Lisa Celaya, Executive Assistant Director for Public Utilities for San Diego, and Karyn Keze, Executive Director of the Metro JPA.
