PUBLIC HEARINGS:

11. Resolution Adopting the Report on City’s Water Quality Relative to Public Health Goals for 2022-2024

Mayor Vaus opened the Public Hearing at 7:50 p.m.

Assistant Director of Public Works for Utilities Troy DePriest presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation. Mr. De Priest explained the Health Goals (PHG) Report was developed in conjunction with the City’s Annual Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report. The purpose of the PHG Report is to increase consumer awareness of drinking water safety and demonstrate compliance with applicable state and federal regulatory requirements.

He stated t he City of Poway (City) operates and maintains over 14,000 water service connections and collects and analyzes tens of thousands of water samples each year which are tested for a wide range of chemicals and potential contaminants to ensure the delivery of safe and reliable drinking water.

December 16, 2025, Item #2
City of Poway – Minutes – September 16, 2025

5 of 7
The City employs state- certified water treatment operators and maintains 24/7 staffing to monitor and address water quality concerns in real time. Water quality testing is conducted weekly at a state- certified Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) facility, and monitoring occurs continuously at the Lester J. Berglund Water Treatment Plant.

Water quality standards, including Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), are legally enforceable and set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water (DDW). In contrast, Public Health Goals (PHGs) are non-enforceable water quality objectives developed by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA).

Mr. De Priest concluded the City’s drinking water continues to meet or exceed all federal and state standards established to protect public health.

Public Comment:

None.

End of Public Comment.

Mayor Vaus closed the Public Hearing at 7:57 p.m.

Council discussion ensued. Council voiced appreciation for transparency in reporting on and proactively testing the City’s water . Council acknowledged an understanding that Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) are generally considered regulatory goals —often set at zero to reflect ideal standards —even though reaching zero is not realistically achievable in many cases. Council shared concerns over the economic feasibility of using reverse osmosis (RO) to reach the ideal (zero contamination) goals.

Motioned by Mayor Vaus, seconded by Deputy Mayor De Hoff to adopt Resolution No. 25-043 entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of t he City of Poway, California, Adopting the Report on the City’s Water Quality Relative to Public Health Goals for 2022-2024.” Motion carried 4/0/1 by the following roll-call vote:

Following Council approval of Resolution No. 25- 043, Principal Civil Engineer for Utilities Robert Weber provided a Water Infrastructure Program Update along with a PowerPoint presentation.

Mr. Weber provided an overview of the City’s water- related facilities. He noted the Water Infrastructure Improvement Program (Program) is the largest series of capital projects the City has undertaken since incorporation. He noted collectively the program will improve the resiliency and redundancy of Poway’s water infrastructure system and provide safe and reliable water service to Poway residents for generations to come.

Mr. Weber then discussed the current phase of the project, replacement of the Clearwell. His presentation included project and design status, updates on the project timeline and details regarding the construction management contract.

CITY COUNCIL
Declaring the Result of the City of Poway District 2 Special Municipal Recall Election Held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025
The City of Poway conducted a Special Municipal Recall Election in consolidation with the State of California Special Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, for the purpose of of submitting a question to the voters of whether Anthony (Tony) Blain should be recalled (removed) from the Office of District 2 Councilmember of the City of Poway. On November 5, 2025, after unofficial election results showed over 80% voting in favor of the recall, former Councilmember Blain resigned effectively immediately. A recall vote must still be certified by the City Council upon receipt and certification by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters (ROV). Adoption of the recommended resolution is required to conclude the election process in conformance with the State of California's election laws.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council adopt the Resolution reciting the facts of the Special Municipal Recall Election held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, declaring the result and such other matters as may be provided by law.

Discussion:

On March 19, 2025, a Notice of Intention to Circulate Recall Petition for District 2 Councilmember Anthony (Tony) Blain was filed with the Office of the City Clerk. On April 17, 2025, the City Clerk determined the Petition for Recall form met the statutory requirements and, therefore, was approved for signature circulation. On July 16, 2025, the recall petition was submitted to the Office of the City Clerk in accordance with California Elections Code prior to the deadline of July 16, 2025 and was transferred to the Registrar of Voters for verification of signatures. On July 30, 2025, the ROV completed the verification process and provided the Poway City Clerk with a Certificate as to the Verification of Signatures on Petition. Pursuant to California Elections Code §§11240-11242, the Poway City Council called a Special Municipal Recall Election to be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 for 2 of 8
December 16, 2025, Item #3
the purpose of submitting a question to the voters of whether Anthony (Tony) Blain should be recalled (removed) from the Office of District 2 Council member of the City of Poway. On November 5, 2025, after the initial and unofficial voting results were provided for the Special Election, former Council member Blain resigned effectively immediately. Under Elections Code §11302(b)(2), if an office becomes vacant after a recall petition has been filed, even if the officeholder resigns from office, the recall election must still proceed, and the outcome of that election treated as fully effective. This requirement applies when the elections official has verified that a sufficient number of signatures were submitted before the vacancy occurred. In this case, the City received a Certificate of Verification of Petition Signatures from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters on July 30, 2025 prior to calling for the Special Election, confirming that the signature threshold was met, as noted in the Agenda Report dated August 5, 2025
A total of 6,241 votes were cast in the November 4, 2025 City of Poway District 2 Special Municipal Recall Election, with a majority of the votes on the recall voting in favor.

The votes were as follows:

City of Poway
Recall Anthony (Tony} Blain
YES 5,017
NO 1,224
Total Ballots Cast 6,241
Section 10262 of the California Elections Code requires the City Clerk, upon receipt of the results of the election from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters (ROV), to certify the results to the governing body following presentation of the canvass of the returns. The Certificate of the Registrar of Voters (Exhibit A, Attachment A) reflects the full, true and correct Statement of Vote, of the Special Municipal Election held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. By adoption of the resolution, the City Council declares that a majority of voters voting on the question relating to the recall of Anthony (Tony) Blain voted in favor, and that Anthony (Tony) Blain is recalled from the Office of District 2 Council member of the City of Poway.

Environmental Review:

None.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

CITY COUNCIL
Approval of Consultant Agreement Amendment No. 2 with Kitchell CEM, Inc. for the Design of the Community Park Restroom Project; RFP No. 25-001 Kitchell CEM, Inc. ("Kitchell") was selected as the most qualified consultant who provided the best value to the City for the design of the Community Park Restroom. After evaluating alternatives and completing 30% design, it is recommended a masonry structure be constructed at the northeast corner of the bocce ball courts. This Consultant Agreement Amendment No. 2 will provide for completion of the design for the Community Park Restroom project.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council approve the Consultant Agreement Amendment No. 2 (Attachment A) with Kitchell for design services for the Community Park Restroom project increasing the contract total to $153,570 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Discussion:

In January 2022, the Community Parks Needs Assessment was adopted by the City Council identifying and prioritizing future improvements at Community Park. The assessment identified priorities which include better access to amenities throughout the park. The northwest side of Community Park includes the Adventure Playground, the Bocce Courts, Picnic Area 4 Gazebo and other smaller picnic areas. Currently, there is no convenient restroom to the northwest side of Community Park. The City Council budgeted funds to construct a restroom as a part of the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program Budget.

In June 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for engineering design services to prepare preliminary design and evaluate alternatives for the Community Park Restroom project. The City initially considered two potential options for installing a restroom to meet the City's goals:

1. Conversion of the existing Bocce Ball storage room into a restroom; or

2. Installation of a new _prefabricated restroon:i at the northeast corn~r of the Bocce Ball court. 1 of 32
December 16, 2025, Item #5
The solicitation yielded four proposals. Kitchell submitted a responsive and qualified proposal for the project and was selected to prepare the preliminary engineering, conceptual design and 30% construction documents based on their extensive experience providing similar services. The purpose of awarding Kitchell a contract for preliminary design services (Attachment B) was to explore both restroom options at 30% design and choose which option best suited the City's needs before proceeding with full design of the selected alternative.

The City requested a preliminary design and cost estimate to compare the prefabricated building option with a masonry structure constructed onsite through Contract Amendment No. 1 (Attachment C). The cost estimate reflected a lower cost to construct the restroom onsite when compared to the prefabricated restroom option which would require crane mobilization in an area of the park with constrained access. This largely contributed to higher costs for the prefabricated restroom option.

The conversion option was ruled out due to the current structure not having adequate restroom and storage space. The constructed onsite restroom not only had a lower cost estimate when compared to the prefabricated option, it also presents the opportunity to customize the restroom to match the City's overall park and Community Center aesthetic and offers superior durability. Attachment D shows preliminary renderings of the proposed restroom.

With these aspects in mind, City staff recommends proceeding with construction of a masonry structure onsite. The original contract for preliminary design services for two options at 30% design was $20,830.00. The cost for contract Amendment No. 1, which compared the restroom constructed onsite to the prefabricated option was $15,240.00. Kitchell has presented a proposal to provide the complete plans, specifications and cost estimate for the restroom at a cost of $117,500.00. Upon approval of Amendment No. 2, the revised fee for the design contract will total $153,570.00.

Approval of this Agreement Amendment will provide professional design services for the Community Park Restroom project, including design survey, preparation of a preliminary design technical memorandum and development of construction bid documents. Completion of this design effort will allow the City to proceed with the bid and construction of the new park restroom.

Environmental Review:

The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (Class 3: New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). Class 3 exemptions apply to the construction of small facilities and accessory structures, including buildings not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area. The proposed project consists of the design and subsequent construction of an approximate 250 square foot restroom building, and an attached 160 square foot covered patio. The project will be served by existing public utilities, and it does not disturb any sensitive environmental resources. Furthermore, Staff has determined that none of the exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions, as outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2, will apply to the project.

Fiscal Impact:

There is sufficient funding totaling $1,046,330.00 available in the Community Park Restroom project account (PK025) for the design contract. Project PK025 is funded by the Capital Projects -Park Improvements Fund 4110, which includes $500,000 as a required contribution from an Agreement for Long Term Encroachment of Public Right-of-Way between the City and Pome BESS, LLC for the Pome Battery Energy Storage System Project.

SCOPE
OF
WORK
Project
Approach
It is
our
understanding
that
the
City
of
Poway
is
seeking
a qualified
firm
to
provide
design
services
for
the
Community
Park
Restroom
project.

It
is our
understanding
that
the
City
is
looking
to
install
a restroom
on
the
northwest
side
of
Community
Park
and
are
considering
two
options
: 1)
converting
the
exist
ing
bocce
ball
storage
room
into
a restroom
; or
2)
installing
a
new
prefabricated
restroom
at
the
northeast
corner
of
the
bocce
ball
cou
rt. Kitch
ell's
design
approach
emphasizes
continuous
communication
between
the
City
and
our
design
team
. We
believe
in
providing
value
for
every
dollar
the
City
spends
on
design
and
construction
. As
a result,
we
are
continuously
reviewing
design
assumptions,
material
selection,
and
equipment
to
provide
ma
ximum
value.

We
constantly
review
ou
r details
to
ensure
they
are
constructible
. Kitchell
typically
starts
all
our
projects
with
site
surveys
to
ascertain
existing
building
systems.

Our
design
process
is
a team
approach
that
encompasses
the
owner,
users,
peer
reviewers,
agencies,
sub
consultants,
and
the
design
team
.

1. Preliminary
Engineering
and
Conceptual
Phase
We
will
meet
with
the
City
to
ensure
everyone
is
clear
on
the
goals,
communication
protocols
are
established,
work
activities
are
reviewed
and
confirmed,
schedule
milestones
are
reviewed
and
confirmed
and
desired
outcomes
are
established
. We
will
request
and
review
av
ailable
project
do
cumentation,
including
as-built
documents,
utility
information,
survey
information,
and
any
oth
er records
. This
documentation
will
establish
baseline
information
for
planning
our
work
- a
point
of
beginning
.

Once
all
of
the
available
data
from
the
City
has
been
received
and
reviewed,
we
will
facilitate
a project
kick
-off
meeting
and
a
concept-level
design
wo
rkshop
with
Kitchell,
the
City
, and
all
Team
Members.

We
want
to
ensure
that together
we
tailor
the
project
to
efficiently
deliver
those
services
that
provide
the
highest
value
to
you,
while
conforming
to
you
r budget.

After
the
kick-off
meeting
and
concept-level
design
workshop
our
Team
will
complete
a facility
evaluation
on
the
project.

Prior
tq
our
evaluation,
we
will
coordinate
our
arrival
schedule
with
the
City.

During
the
evaluation
, we will
assess
existing
conditions
of
the
project
area
and/or
identify
physical
deficiencies
and
any
unusual
features
.

We
will
evaluate
the
existing
condit
ions
of
the
project
and
provide
recommendations
that
will
fulfill
the
City's
project
goals.

We
will
also
identify
site-specific
special
conditions
that
may
create
conflicts
or
change
orders
during
construction,
as
well
as
identify
how
risks
can
be
mitigated
.
19 of
32 December 16, 2025, Item #5
Our design team will prepare conceptual documents for both options consisting of drawings and renderings illustrating the general scope, scale, and relationship of project components for approval by the City. The design shall include the following: conceptual site and building plans, development of approximate dimensions, areas, and volumes; development of conceptual design solutions for energy sources/conservation, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, and fire protection; and development of conceptual design solutions or power service and distribution, lighting, communication raceways, security electronics, fire detection and alarms.

The cost estimates at the preliminary engineering and conceptual phase shall reflect the level of design elements presented in the conceptual design documents, plus appropriate design contingencies to encompass the unidentified scope ultimately included in the program. Once we have received approval from the City, we will move into the schematic design documents phase.

2. Schematic Design (30% PSE) Documents Phase
During the schematic design phase, l(itchell will prepare documents consisting of drawings, outline specifications, and other documents illustrating the general scope, scale, and relationship of project components for approval by the City.

Schematic design shall include the following:

Architectural Design: further development of site and building plans, schematic sections and elevations, preliminary selection ofbuilding systems and material, further development.of approximate dimensions, areas and volumes.

Civil/Site Design (as needed): preliminary grading, location of paving for walkways, and fencing locations. Also included are the connections required to service the buildings such as water, drainage, and sanitary systems. ~ Structural Design (as needed): recommendations regarding basic structural material and systems, analysis, and development of conceptual design solutions.
► Mechanical Design: further development of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, and fire protection.
~ Electrical Design: further development of power service and distribution, lighting, communication raceways, fire detection and alarms.
~ Cost Estimating: costs shall reflect the level of design elements presented in the schematic design documents, plus appropriate design contingencies to encompass unidentified scope ultimately included in the program. Will assist the City with analyzing scope, schedule, and budget options to stay within the construction cost.

3. Project Management
Throughout the design phase our project manager will facilitate conference calls with you1· team to update the City of the project progress, and schedule status. At this time, our project manager will ask any questions or discuss issues encountered. At every meeting with the City, Kitchell will ensure notes are kept and meeting summaries distributed within 48-hour turnaround.

We will coordinate meeting with the City to review the preliminary design submittals. We will utilize a comment and response log of the City's comments during each submittal and re-issue the log in the subsequent submittal.

Every site visit attended by Kitchell will be followed by a site visit report which will be distributed within 48 hours of each meeting and include photo documentation of progress and issues discussed. Our operations manager reviews the master design schedule every two weeks to ensure client deadlines are met. The quality control process that Kitchell has put in place has been designed to catch errors as the design progresses and not during construction which results in delays and added costs.

AG EN DA REPORT City of Poway
December 16, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

CITY COUNCIL
Approval of Par.eel Map for Tentative Parcel Map 23-0003 (Espola Urban Lot Split); Ben Lund Engineering, Applicant (APN 321-020-68)
The final parcel map for Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 23-0003 is ready for approval. This map subdivides one parcel totaling 1.05 acres into two single-family residential lots located at 14858 Espola Road. The proposed final Parcel Map implements a state-mandated Senate Bill-9 (SB-9) Urban Lot Split, which means the City has no discretion to deny approval, provided the map meets specific state law criteria.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council approve the final Parcel Map for TPM 23-0003 and direct its recordation.

Discussion:

Background:

The California Subdivision Map Act outlines a two-step process for subdivision of land. Generally, the first step is a quasi-judicial public hearing to consider the tentative map or the tentative parcel map for four or fewer parcels. This step involves evaluating a project for alignment with existing objective standards, conditions and policies. After a hearing and evaluation of the evidence, a written decision or resolution is adopted based on evidence presented.

The second step is consideration of the final parcel map which is the technical document showing the distance and bearings for each property line of the parcels included in the tentative (parcel) map. This action is ministerial, meaning state law requires approval of any final parcel map conforming to the approved tentative parcel map and conditions of approval. A "ministerial action" refers to an act performed by a government official or employee that strictly follows established rules and procedures, without requiring any personal judgement or discretion; essentially, they are simply carrying out a duty as outlined by law, with no room for individual decision-making. In other words, if . . . .
1 of 9
December 16, 2025, Item #6
the
specific
requirements
are
met,
the
map
must
be
approved.

Recording
the
final
parcel
map
is
the
last
step
in
creating
a
new
parcel.

In
recent
years,
the
State
legislature
has
enacted
several
new
housing
laws
designed
to
expedite
housing
production.

SB-9
amended
Section
66452.6
and
added
Sections
65852.21
and
66411.7
of
the
California
Government
Code.

Effective
January
1,
2022,
local
agencies
are
required
to
ministerially
approve
-at
the
staff
level,
without
a public
hearing
-the
split
of
a single-family
parcel
into
two
parcels
if
minimum
criteria
set
by
the
State
is
met.

Properties
qualifying
for
an
Urban
Lot
Split
and
applicable
requirements
are
further
described
in
the
attached
SB-9
Developments
&
Urban
Lot
Splits:

General
Information
handout
(Attachment
A).

In
accordance
with
the
California
Government
Code
66411.7,
a
provision
of
SB-9,
the
tentative
parcel
map
for
an
SB-9
lot
split
is
required
to
be
approved
by
staff
ministerially
and
without
public
hearing.

Project
Detail:

This
project
meets
the
criteria
for
an
SB-9
Urban
Lot
Split
as
it subdivides
an
existing
residential
parcel
into
two
residential
parcels
and
meets
State
criteria.

In
accordance
with
State
law,
TPM
23-0003
was
approved
ministerially
on
October
30,
2024.

While
the
TPM
was
not
permitted
to
be
considered
for
approval
by
the
City
Council,
the
final
parcel
map
is
coming
to
the
City
Council
for
approval
to
comply
with
Poway
Municipal
Code
(PMC).

Pursuant
to
State
Law,
the
City
Council
must
approve
the
final
parcel
map
if
it
complies
with
State
criteria
and
the
TPM's
conditions.

Staff
has
determined
it
does.

The
existing
residential
parcel
is
located
at
14858
Es
po
la
Road.

The
project
site
is
shown
on
the
vicinity
map
included
as
Attachment
B.

The
existing
parcel
has
a
gross
area
of
45,302
square
feet
and
is
located
within
the
Residential
Single
Family
2 (RS2)
zone.

The
parcel
map
creates two
parcels
with
net
lot
areas
of
approximately
21,189
and
22,484
square
feet
conforming
to
the
minimum
lot
area
of
the
RS2
zone.

The
approved
TPM
meets
the
front
and
street
side
yard
setback
requirements
of
the
PMC.

California
Government
Code
65852.21
permits
rear
and
interior
yard
setbacks
to
be
reduced
to
four
feet
for
qualifying
projects.

Access
is
provided
through
the
existing
20-foot-private
roadway.

The
final
parcel
map,
as
shown
in
Attachment
C,
is
in
substantial
conformance
(per
the
California
Subdivision
Map
Act)
with
the
approved
TPM.

All
conditions
of
approval
prior
to
recordation
of
the
final
parcel
map
have
been
addressed.

Environmental
Review:

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

The
adoption
of
the
final
parcel
map
is
identified
as
a
type
of
ministerial
permit
and
is
exempt
from
the
CEQA
State
Guidelines;
therefore,
pursuant
to
the
CEQA
State
Guidelines
Section
15268(b)(3)
no
environmental
review
is
permitted.

Fiscal
Impact:

There
is
no
Fiscal
Impact
as
a
result
of
this
action.

However,
development
of
the
project
will
result
in
additional
property
tax
revenues
in
the
future
to
the
City's
General
Fund.
