May 19, 2026 City Council

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:10]

THE COUNCIL MEETING TO ORDER. WILL THE CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL COUNCIL MEMBER DEHOFF.

PRESENT COUNCIL MEMBER PIKAS HERE. DEPUTY MAYOR MAITA HERE AND MAYOR VOSS HERE. DEPUTY MAYOR, MAY I PLEASE LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE? ALL THOSE WHO WERE AFFECTED BY THE TRAGEDY IN SAN DIEGO YESTERDAY. IT STRIKES CLOSE TO HOME WITH WHAT HAPPENED HERE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. SO PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

AND, AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK ANYBODY WHO SUBMITS A PLAN SHOULD BE AWARE OF THAT. ANY APPLICANT SHOULD BE AWARE THAT PER 150 FOOT SETBACK, THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN BUILD.

THE OTHER PART OF IT THAT IS A PROBLEM, IS THAT THE COMPANY THAT CONDUCTED THE STUDY, I ASKED THEM, WHERE IS YOUR REFERENCE FOR THIS? THEY CITED A COUPLE OF AUTHORS NAMED SPANDARYAN AND WILLIS. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE STUDY AVAILABLE ANYMORE ON FILE, SO THERE'S NOTHING TO GO BACK AND COMPARE IT TO. THERE'S NOTHING WRITTEN IN THERE ABOUT NOISE, MITIGATION, NOISE, WALLS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT EVEN APPLYING THE CITY OF POWAY CODE OF 50DB AND 150 FOOT SETBACK, THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT THEY COULD BUILD. AND SECOND IS EVEN IF THEY BUILT IT THERE, THE NOISE CODE WOULD STILL APPLY. SO IF I PUT A DECIBEL METER ANYWHERE ON THAT CLUB PARCEL BOUNDARY AND I REGISTERED OVER 50 DURING THE DAY, IT WOULD BE A CODE VIOLATION AND THEY WOULD BE FORCED TO STOP. SO I JUST WANTED THE CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES GROUP TO BE AWARE OF THAT. AND

[00:05:02]

JOE. SAINT LUCAS. POWAY. YES. TONIGHT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE EXCITING SUBJECT OF WOODEN FENCES. OKAY. WAY BACK WHEN, A FEW YEARS BACK, I HAD CONTACTED CITY ABOUT WHO OWNS WHO SHOULD BE PAYING FOR FENCES WHEN THEY'RE UP. I HAD MY FLAT YARD.

THERE WAS A SLOPE AND A FENCE WAS ON ON THE SLOPE. IT STARTED FALLING IN. YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE THE GUY ON THE DOWNSLOPE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE IT'S NOT FALLING IN. NO, THE CITY SAID SHARED BOUNDARY LINE. BOTH PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FENCE. I SAY, OH, OKAY. SO I GOT TO SPLIT IT WITH HIM, BUT IT'S KIND OF BEEN WORKED OUT.

OVER THE WEEKEND, I TALKED WITH SOMEBODY THAT FROM MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD THREE YEARS AGO PUT IN NEW FENCING IN THEIR BACKYARD, NICE WOOD FENCE, THREE SIDES. OVER THE LAST YEAR, AN ADU HAS APPEARED ON ONE SIDE OF THEIR BACKYARD. AN ADU HAS APPEARED ON THE BACK OF HER BACKYARD. SHE SAYS IT'S RIGHT UP NEXT TO THE FENCE. WELL, WE KNOW IT CAN'T BE RIGHT UP NEXT TO THE FENCE, BUT I STARTED THINKING, NOW WAIT A MINUTE. ACCORDING TO THE IF YOU'RE IN THE HIGH FIRE AREA, WHICH SHE IS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE FIVE FEET BETWEEN A HOUSE OR AN ADU AND ANYTHING FLAMMABLE, WHICH WOULD BE HER FENCE. THE CITY. THANKS. THANKS TO THE STATE, FOUR FEET ALLOWS ADU UP TO FOUR FEET. SO IF YOU CRAMMED AN ADU IN THE BACKYARD FOUR FEET AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY LINE, AND YOU NEED FIVE FOOT CLEAR FROM THE FENCE OR FLAMMABLE STUFF, SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE FENCE, OR AT LEAST PAY FOR HALF OF IT. AGAIN FOR PERFECTLY GOOD FENCE.

WHEN? A YEAR AGO. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. SO I'M THINKING, WELL, WE GOT TILL NEXT YEAR UNTIL WE START GETTING THESE RULES IN PLACE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CITY IS GOING TO DO FOR ENFORCEMENT, YOU KNOW, SENDING PEOPLE AROUND OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, FIGURE THAT OUT. BUT THERE OUGHT TO BE SOMETHING THAT AN ADU, WHICH IS THERE BECAUSE IT'S A BUSINESS SHOULDN'T, YOU KNOW, TO BE RENTED OUT, SHOULD NOT CAUSE A NEIGHBOR TO OTHERWISE HAVE TO PUT OUT MONEY TO REPAIR THEIR PROPERTY. SO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE PERMIT WISE, SAY, IF I TRULY DON'T KNOW, ALL I KNOW IS I REMEMBER TURCO AND THAT AIN'T RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE SHOWING YOUR AGE WITH A REFERENCE TO TURCO, OUR FINAL SPEAKER, ANITA EDMONDSON. GOOD EVENING. I'M ANITA EDMONDSON, DISTRICT TWO CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE FOR THE JUNE 2ND SPECIAL ELECTION. THERE ARE NEARLY 12000 REASONS WHY I AM RUNNING FOR THE DISTRICT TO CITY COUNCIL SEAT, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MANY RESIDENTS IN DISTRICT TWO HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A TRUE VOICE ON COUNCIL FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. THOSE OF US WHO LOVE POWAY KNOW IT'S A SPECIAL PLACE. IT'S NOT JUST WHERE WE LIVE, IT'S HOW WE LIVE.

SAFEST CITY IN THE COUNTY. A BALANCED BUDGET AND HEALTHY RESERVES. THE LOWEST TAXES IN THE COUNTY, WELL MAINTAINED ROADS AND RELIABLE WATER. AMAZING PARKS AND PROGRAMS. AS A DISTRICT TWO COUNCIL MEMBER, I WILL PROTECT EVERYTHING THAT MAKES POWAY SO SPECIAL. BUT AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, I WILL ALSO BRING FORWARD THE CONCERNS, FEEDBACK AND GREAT SUGGESTIONS I HEARD DIRECTLY FROM RESIDENTS AS TEAM POWAY AND I WALKED TO THOUSANDS OF DISTRICT TWO HOMES OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS. THIS WASN'T MERELY A CAMPAIGN STRATEGY. IT WAS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM PEOPLE, NOT SIMPLY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. THE RESIDENTS WE SPOKE WITH ARE OUR EYES AND EARS ON THE GROUND. THEY LIVE THIS COMMUNITY. THEY LOVE THIS COMMUNITY, AND THEY TOO, SEE OPPORTUNITIES TO FINE TUNE THIS REMARKABLE PLACE WE CALL HOME.

AS THE DISTRICT TWO COUNCIL MEMBER, I WILL BE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW ON OUR MAIN CORRIDORS, TO ADDRESS

[00:10:02]

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

COUNCIL MEMBER PIKES I, DEPUTY MAYOR MAIDA I AND MAYOR VOSS I ITEM PASSES. THANK YOU. ITEM 11

[11. Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution of the City of Poway, California, Repealing Resolution P-18-12 While Adopting an Interim lnclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee, and Authorize the Release of a Request for Proposals to Update Various In-Lieu, Mitigation, and Impact Fees]

INSTEAD OF PROVIDING THAT ON SITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH INCLUSIONARY UNITS. AS PART OF THAT HOUSING PROJECT, THE CITY CAN COLLECT AND DOES COLLECT THOSE IN LIEU FEE MONIES, AND THEY GO INTO A DISCRETE HOUSING FUND, AND THOSE CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING ELSEWHERE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE CURRENT INCLUSIONARY HOUSING IN LIEU FEE WAS ESTABLISHED IN APRIL OF 2018 VIA RESOLUTION P-18-12, WHICH IS INCLUDED AS ATTACHMENT B IN THIS AGENDA ITEM. WHAT THAT ACTION DID IS IT CODIFIED A RATE WHICH IS A FLAT RATE FOR THE CURRENT INCLUSIONARY HOUSING IN LIEU FEE OF $500 PER UNIT OF NEWLY CONSTRUCTED HOUSING AS THAT IN LIEU FEE, CONSISTENT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT IN RECENT COUNCIL DISCUSSIONS, THE FEE IS BEING RECOMMENDED FOR AN INTERIM UPDATE PRIOR TO THE FULL STUDY BEING COMPLETED. THIS INTERIM AMOUNT IS PROPOSED AT $5 PER SQUARE FOOT OF NEWLY CONSTRUCTED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF TWO OR MORE UNITS, SO IT WOULD NOT APPLY TO A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT OR AN ADU TYPE DEVELOPMENT. WE ALSO HAVE A MINOR CORRECTION THAT WAS NOTED IN THE RESOLUTION, WHICH IS ATTACHMENT A UNDER SECTION EIGHT, AND THE CALL OUT HERE SHOULD READ OR DOES READ THAT THE FEES IN EXHIBIT A WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE.

BUT THERE THERE ISN'T. IT'S KIND OF SELF-REFERENCING AT THAT POINT. SO IT SHOULD SAY SECTION FIVE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON ADOPTION. AND THE SECOND PART OF THE REQUEST IS AGAIN AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO UPDATE THE OTHER CITY, INCLUDING THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING IN LIEU FEE, BUT OTHER MITIGATION IN LIEU AND IMPACT FEES THAT THE CITY DOES HAVE ON THE BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME. WHAT THAT DOES EXCLUDE ARE DRAINAGE IMPACT FEES. SO DRAINAGE IMPACT FEES WILL BE HANDLED SEPARATELY. AND WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE DRAFT OR THE PROPOSED, EXCUSE ME, FISCAL YEAR 2026 2027 BUDGET, WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD NEXT MONTH FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION, IS A DISCRETE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROJECT TO ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE OR THE

[00:15:01]

THERE'S BROAD AGREEMENT THAT $500 PER UNIT FEE HAS BECOME BADLY OUTDATED AND NO LONGER REFLECTS THE CURRENT REALITIES. SO A STUDY IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO. I ALSO APPRECIATE THAT THE INTERIM INCREASE IS BEFORE US TONIGHT WHILE WE UNDERTAKE THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY. I THINK THAT IT STRIKES A REASONABLE BALANCE BETWEEN ACTING NOW AND MAKING SURE LONGER TERM POLICY DECISIONS ARE SUPPORTED BY DETAILED ANALYSIS AND CURRENT DATA. THE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST, AND I'M GOING TO MOVE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE ITEM THAT FOLLOWS THIS. WE HAVE A 60 DAY IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD WHEN THOSE NEW FEES, ASSUMING WE APPROVE THEM, WILL TAKE EFFECT. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO STREAMLINE ALL OF THIS AND AVOID CONFUSION TO HAVE THIS TAKE EFFECT IN 60 DAYS, LIKE THE OTHER FEES. IF WE APPROVE THOSE JUST TO ALLOW SOME TRANSITION TIMELINE. SO APPLICANT STAFF AND THE PUBLIC CAN HAVE CONSISTENCY AND, AND CLEAR EXPECTATIONS. SO WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE APPROVAL AND LOOK TO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR FURTHER COMMENT OR QUESTIONS. MR. DEHOFF. NOTHING. MR. PICKLES, JUST ON THE MECHANICS OF THE STUDY, WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THAT NEXT YEAR TO HAVE A STUDY TO DO THE FEE. NOW, THIS THE SECOND PART OF THE REQUEST HERE IS TO AUTHORIZE THE RELEASE OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. SO ASSUMING THAT EXCEEDS THE CITY MANAGER'S THRESHOLD FOR FOR SIGNATURE AUTHORITY, THAT WOULD COME BACK BEFORE COUNCIL OR BE SIGNED OFF ON. AND THAT WOULD START THE PROCESS OF WE'RE ANTICIPATING ROUGHLY 6 TO 9 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE STUDY, WHICH WOULD BE BROUGHT FORWARD AT THAT TIME. THANK YOU. OKAY. I'LL SECOND. DEPUTY MAYOR. ANYTHING? NO, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM THE MAYOR, A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER PICUS, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION WITH THE CHANGE TO MAKE IT EFFECTIVE IN 60 DAYS FOR AN INTERIM INCLUSIONARY HOUSING IN LIEU FEE AND AUTHORIZE THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO UPDATE VARIOUS CITY IN LIEU MITIGATION AND IMPACT FEES. AS I SAID, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM THE MAYOR AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER PICUS. THIS IS A ROLL CALL VOTE. WILL THE CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? COUNCIL? MEMBER OF A COUNCIL MEMBER. PIKAS, A DEPUTY MAYOR MAITA AND MAYOR VOS. AYE. ITEM PASSES. ITEM 12. CONDUCT A.

MR. MAYOR, IF I MAY REAL QUICK, PLEASE. NUMBER 11. SO YOU SAID 60 DAYS. I THINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE A DATE SPECIFIC IN THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NEXT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL IS OKAY. I THINK I'M HEARING CLEARLY THAT YOU WANT THEM TO START ON THE SAME DAY.

I DON'T WANT TO COUNT SYNCHRONIZE NECESSARILY SYNCHRONIZE NEXT ITEM TO THE EXACT DAY. THANK YOU. IF COUNCIL CONCURS. YEAH, THANKS FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. OKAY.

[12. Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution of the City of Poway, California, to Approve Citywide Fee Updates ]

[00:20:04]

AS SHOWN HERE, IN APRIL OF 2024, A REQUEST WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AND COUNCIL AWARDED A CONTRACT TO MATRIX CONSULTING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS TWO PHASE PROJECT. SO THE FIRST PHASE, AS SHOWN HERE, AND THESE NEEDED TO BE TAKEN IN ORDER, WAS THE COMPLETION OF THE COST ALLOCATION PLAN, WHICH WAS COMPLETED AT THE TAIL END OF 2025 AND IS PUBLISHED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE UNDER THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT. FOR ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED IN KIND OF WHAT THOSE DETAILS LOOK LIKE, WHAT'S BEFORE YOU HERE TONIGHT IS COMPLETION OF THE CITYWIDE FEE UPDATE. SO WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS, OR WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS ADOPTION OF THIS FEE UPDATE PACKAGE AS THE LAST STEP IN THIS VERY LONG PROCESS. AS YOU CAN SEE, JUST OVER TWO YEARS SINCE WE STARTED. OKAY, SO LOOKING AT SOME OF THE, THE DETAILS HERE OF THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, AND YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THIS IN THE REPORT, BUT MATRIX, OUR CONSULTANT, ASSISTED WITH THE REVIEW AND UPDATE OF ALMOST 500 CITY FEES. SO THE TOTAL FEES UPDATED AS PART OF THIS PROPOSAL ARE JUST OVER 800. SO THE DELTA THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO IS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY SERVICE FEES. SO THOSE WERE RECENTLY ADJUSTED WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SO THEY DIDN'T NEED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW. BUT WHAT STAFF DID IS IMPLEMENTED CONSUMER PRICE INDEX INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS AS WELL AS COLLAPSE DOWN CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF THOSE FEES FROM SIX ALPHA A THROUGH F TO FOUR NUMERIC. TO MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER TO IMPLEMENT AND FOR THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THOSE FEES. AND THEN SHOWN ON ON THE SLIDE ON THE BOTTOM, HERE ARE THE VARIOUS FEE CATEGORIES THAT WERE REVIEWED AND ANALYZED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, INCLUDING WHAT'S CALLED OUT AS ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES, WHICH ARE GENERALLY FINANCE RELATED FEES, BUSINESS LICENSES, CERTIFICATES, REGISTRATIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT, AND SOME ANCILLARY UTILITY FEES. COMMUNITY SERVICES, WHICH I TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT FIRE DEPARTMENT FEES, PLANNING, SERVICE FEES, CODE COMPLIANCE, HOUSING, BUILDING SERVICES AND ENGINEERING. SO IT'S QUITE A FEW SERVICES THAT WERE REVIEWED.

OBVIOUSLY, TO GET TO THAT 800. OKAY. SO LOOKING AT I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THIS A FEW TIMES, BUT MATRIX DEFINITELY DID PROVIDE THAT THIRD PARTY EXPERT ANALYSIS AND GUIDANCE WITH STAFF FROM MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS THAT WORKED ON THIS PROJECT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH STATE LAWS AND REQUIREMENTS. AND WE HAVE A STUDY THAT WE CAN STEADILY LEAN ON AND FEEL CONFIDENT THAT OUR FEES ARE SET IN THE RIGHT AMOUNT. THAT PROCESS IS INVOLVED ANALYZING OUR ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING SERVICE, KIND OF SIMILAR LIKE WE DID WITH THE WATER AND SEWER FEES, BUT FOR THIS SPECIFIC TASK HERE. AND THAT INCLUDED A LOT OF COORDINATION BETWEEN THE CONSULTANT AND VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, WHICH WAS A HUGE LIFT, A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, TIME, FIRE DEPARTMENT TIME, AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING FINANCE AS WELL, WHERE A LOT OF FOLKS DID THIS ABOVE AND BEYOND THEIR NORMAL DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. SO HUGE PULL BY THEM, WHICH IS PROBABLY A BIG REASON WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED IN SO LONG, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A BIG PROJECT. BUT I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY PRESENTING THIS, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES IS OVERHEAD AND ANCILLARY COSTS FOR SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED FOR EACH OF THOSE FUNCTIONS, AS WELL AS ENSURING THAT GOALS OF THE STUDY ARE BEING MET, WHETHER THEY BE FULL COST RECOVERY OR SOME KIND OF SUBSIDY. I'LL GO INTO IN JUST A MINUTE. AS WELL AS INCORPORATING BEST PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS. SO LOOKING AT SOME OF THE POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, THIS FIRST BULLET, I THINK, BEARS DIVING INTO QUITE A BIT BECAUSE THESE FEES ARE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP BENEFIT. THESE AREN'T GLOBAL BENEFITS LIKE PARK ACCESS OR ROAD USAGE OR, YOU KNOW, FIRE SERVICES THAT ARE THAT ARE PROVIDED OUTSIDE OF THE AMBULANCE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THESE ARE FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE WHERE SOMEONE NEEDS A SERVICE FROM THE CITY AND THEY

[00:25:02]

THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES THAT STAFF NEEDS TO IMPLEMENT AND GET IN OUR SYSTEMS AND GET INFORMATION OUT AND GET WEBSITES UPDATED AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO WE CERTAINLY FACTORED THAT IN. AND THEN AS MENTIONED, JULY 1ST OF 2027 WOULD BEGIN THE ANNUAL CPI ADJUSTMENT OR INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENT. AND WE CAP THAT IN THE RESOLUTION OF 5%. SO EVEN IF THINGS GO CRAZY, LIKE DURING COVID, IT WENT UP LIKE 8.3%. WE'D HAVE THAT CAPPED AT 5%.

AGAIN, WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR ALL THE WORK AND EVERYTHING INVOLVED HERE. IT WAS A HEAVY

[00:30:05]

SOME OF THE SUPERVISORIAL OVERHEAD AND CITY OVERHEAD AS WELL. AND THEN WHAT THAT CALCULATES IS THE MAXIMUM JUSTIFIABLE FEE, WHICH GOES BACK TO THAT CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 26 NUMBER. OKAY, THIS FIRST DARK BLUE SECTION TALKS ABOUT THE CITY NOT EVER COMPLETING IT, EVEN THOUGH WE DID MANY, MANY MOONS AGO, BUT NOT TO THIS LEVEL BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY FEES. GOING BACK TO 2007, I KIND OF MENTIONED MATRIX BEING INVOLVED IN THE REVIEW OF ALMOST 500 FEES IN THIS SLIDE IS REFLECTIVE OF THAT OVER 470 FEES. AND THOSE INCLUDE FLAT FEES. SO YOU COME IN AND JUST PAY. IF THAT COST $100, YOU PAY $100. VALUATION BASED FEES, WHICH ARE GENERALLY BUILDING PERMITS AND SO ON, WHICH ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY OR ESTIMATED VALUE. GIVEN AN INTERNATIONAL JULIE, HELP ME. INTERNATIONAL CC CODE CONFERENCE. THANK YOU. SO THERE'S A STANDARD TO GO BASE THOSE OFF OF AND THEN DEPOSIT BASED, WHICH YOU TAKE IN A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS DEPOSIT GENERALLY. AND THEN YOU CHARGE AGAINST THAT WHICH ARE IN LINE WITH ACTUAL COST AS SHOWN HERE IN YELLOW, THE ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2526 SHOWS AN UNDER RECOVERY OF OUR ACTUAL COST BY $2.2 MILLION. SO THAT'S THE GAP BETWEEN FULL COST RECOVERY AND WHAT WE ACTUALLY CHARGE FOR THOSE SERVICES, EVEN THOUGH THAT MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY OVERSTATED, AS SOME OF THOSE WERE DEPOSIT BASED, AND TRACKING THOSE BACK ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. SO IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT. AND WHAT THAT REPRESENTS IS A 59% COST RECOVERY ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THE CITY. SO THIS IS GRAPHICALLY SHOWN. THE REVENUE RECEIVED FOR THAT YEAR BY DIVISION. SO THAT'S THE FIRST COLUMN. THE REVENUE AT CURRENT FEE, THE TOTAL COST OF PROVIDING THAT SERVICE IN THE SECOND COLUMN THE DIFFERENCE. SO YOU SEE ALL THOSE ARE NEGATIVE WHICH MEANS WE'RE UNDER RECOVERING IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS BY BY THE SHOWN AMOUNT. AND THEN THE COST RECOVERY AMOUNT BY DIVISION, WHICH IS DETAILED. AND YOU'LL SEE THE TOTALS DOWN BELOW TOTALING THAT ROUNDED TO 2.2 MILLION OR THE 59%. SO MATRIX IS RECOMMENDING AND WE ARE AS WELL THAT WE SEEK INPUT FROM COUNCIL ON THIS FEE PACKAGE, RECOMMENDING AS A BEST PRACTICE THAT I WENT OVER A LITTLE BIT EARLIER TO ADOPT AN ANNUAL FEE

[00:35:04]

QUESTIONS. MR. DORF THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CRAIG, AND YOUR ALTER EGO FOR THAT WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. ALSO WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR EFFORT IN THIS. IT WAS A AS CRAIG MENTIONED, A REALLY BIG HAUL, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY MOVING FORWARD TO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM, WHERE IT'S GOING.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS ON THE BRC BUDGET REVIEW COMMITTEE, I WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS, AND THEY WERE SORT OF ON THE THE NEGATIVE SIDE, AND I WAS GOING, WHY AREN'T WE HAVING FULL COST RECOVERY IN SOME OF THESE AREAS? AND I THINK SOME OF THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED. SO I THINK THIS IS GREAT. I'LL I'LL ACTUALLY MOVE APPROVAL ON THIS ONE. COUNCIL MEMBER. PIKUS. I'D LIKE TO START BY SAYING CRAIG MADE ALL MY POINTS I WAS GOING TO MAKE. SO I DON'T HAVE TO SAY MUCH OTHER THAN, AGAIN, THANK THE WHOLE CITY BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE PUT TIME INTO THIS TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY DO FOR EACH DIFFERENT PERMIT OR WHATEVER, AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK THEM ON AVERAGE, SO THAT YOU COULD FACTOR THAT IN SO FULLY BURDENED AND ALL THAT. SO REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THIS. I LIKE THE, I LIKE THE NEW FEE SCHEDULE. AND WHAT JUMPED OUT AT ME WAS THE LAST PAGE OF THE PRESENTATION MATERIALS, WHICH YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A SLIDE, BUT IT SHOWS THE HOW MUCH WE RECOVER VERSUS WHAT TYPICAL JURISDICTIONS DO. AND WE FELL BEHIND. SO I'M GLAD WE'RE CATCHING UP. SO I GUESS I'D SECOND APPROVAL. DEPUTY MAYOR MAYEDA, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF ON PAGE 26. UNDER MISCELLANEOUS PERMITS AND ACTIVITIES, THE APPEAL IS TO THE CITY COUNCIL IS THAT APPLY TO BOTH RESIDENTS AND DEVELOPERS. YES, IT WOULD BE. ANY STAFF DECISION THAT'S MADE IS APPEALABLE TO THE COUNCIL. SO THAT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE AN APPEAL OF A STAFF DECISION IS WHAT IT WOULD BE. COULD WE SEPARATE THAT OUT TO HAVE IT REMAIN THE SAME FOR RESIDENTS AND ONLY INCREASE IT FOR DEVELOPERS? YES, WOULD BE THE SHORT ANSWER IF THAT'S THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE TO DO SO. WHAT'S THE CURRENT FEE THAT RESIDENTS ARE PAYING NOW AND WHAT'S THE PROPOSED FEE? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T DIVED AS DEEPLY AS 765 CURRENTLY AND PROPOSED TO BE 1500, I'D BE FINE WITH THAT AMENDMENT. ME TOO. HOW DO WE TELL WHAT A DEVELOPER IS? AND THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. ACTUALLY. I THINK WE NEED A DEFINITION LIKE A CORPORATE ENTITY OR SOMETHING. WELL, I IF I'M GUESSING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT WHO WANTS TO CHALLENGE A DECISION WOULD PAY THE LOWER. BUT IF IT'S A RESIDENT WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE DEVELOPER, YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING THAT THEY SHOULD GET THE BENEFIT OF THE LOWER RATE, RIGHT? SO IF THE RESIDENT IS GOING TO LIVE IN THIS PROPERTY OR LIVING IN THERE CURRENTLY, THEN THEY WOULD BE EXEMPT. YEAH, MAYBE WE SAY PROJECT APPLICANT.

IS THAT LIKE THE PERSON WHO'S, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT MIGHT BE A BROADER TERM OR, OR WOULD HAVE TO BE A PROJECT APPLICANT. THAT'S ACTUALLY LIKE IF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, SOMEBODY WANTS TO APPEAL THE DECISION. I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT.

BUT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG OWNER OCCUPIED, RIGHT? SO WOULD THIS RUN INTO ANY SB NINE PROBLEMS IF THEY'VE GOT LIKE A PERSON LIVING, YOU KNOW, IN ONE BUILDING AND THEY WANT TO SPLIT AND BUILD SOMETHING NEXT TO THEM, WOULD THEY BE CONSIDERED A DEVELOPER OR THE, THE OWNER IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE, I, I MEAN, I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THIS. I JUST THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRES REALLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT THAT DEFINITION IS, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO FALL AFOUL OF, WE COULD SAY TWO OR MORE UNITS OR NONRESIDENTIAL PROJECT. THAT WOULD WORK. SURE. SOUNDS GOOD. WILL THAT GIVE STAFF ENOUGH CLARITY? I THINK I

[00:40:08]

AND THE DEPUTY MAYOR'S POINT I THINK UNDERSCORES THAT WE DON'T DON'T WANT TO HURT THE LITTLE GUY, THE RESIDENTS. YOU KNOW, WE JUST WANT BUILDERS AND OTHERS TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

AND I APPRECIATE THE STAFF HAS FOUND A WAY TO DO THAT SO THAT THE IMPACTS FALL PRIMARILY ON BUILDERS, COMMERCIAL APPLICANTS AND SPECIALIZED USERS THAT REQUIRE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE CITY SERVICES. YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS, REGULAR RESIDENTS, THE LITTLE GUYS HAVE HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING THE BIG GUYS. AND THAT'S FRANKLY JUST NOT FAIR. SO I APPRECIATE THE STAFF MADE A DELIBERATE EFFORT TO CONTINUE SUBSIDIZING COMMUNITY ORIENTED PROGRAMS, BUT TO AVOID PLACING UNNECESSARY BURDENS ON EVERYDAY POWAY RESIDENTS. AND I THINK DEPUTY MAYOR SUGGESTION IS A GOOD ONE TO CONTINUE THAT FOCUS ON. LET'S GET THE BIG GUYS, NOT THE LITTLE GUYS. SO I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HOFF, A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER PICUS, WITH THE AMENDMENT OFFERED BY THE DEPUTY MAYOR TO CLARIFY THE APPEAL THING, WHICH WE TRUST STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. THIS WILL BE A ROLL CALL VOTE. WILL THE CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? COUNCIL? MEMBER OF A COUNCIL MEMBER. PICUS, A DEPUTY MAYOR MARIETTA

[13. Public Hearing and Resolution Adopting the City of Poway's 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and 2025 Urban Water Management Plan ]

OTHER COMPLIANCE ELEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN INCLUDE THE 20% BY 2020 AND ALSO THE WATER LOSS STANDARD, BOTH OF WHICH POWAY IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH SOME OF THE FINDINGS OF THE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN. TAKING A LOOK AT POWAY SERVICE AREA AND POPULATION AS AN OVERVIEW, POWAY SERVES AROUND 14,500 SERVICE CONNECTIONS, WHICH INCLUDES A POPULATION OF 49,335. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SOME OF THE EASTERNMOST PORTIONS OF THE CITY, WHICH YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP ARE NOT HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW. THESE SECTIONS OF THE CITY ARE NOT CONNECTION TO THE WATER SYSTEM.

[00:50:01]

GOOD REPORT. WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS. I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL.

COMMENTS, QUESTIONS. DEPUTY MAYOR, WE'LL START WITH YOU. NOTHING. COUNCIL MEMBER PACOS, TWO QUICK QUESTIONS. YOUR SECOND PAGE OF YOUR POWERPOINT. YOU HAD A GRAPH OF INDIVIDUAL USAGE AND YOU USED SOME. IF YOU COULD POP THAT UP THERE, I THINK YOU USED SOME KIND OF METRIC THAT I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH. OH, YEAH. ONE MORE. THERE YOU GO. GPCD WHAT IS THAT? OR THE IT DEPENDS ON IN WHAT CONTEXT WE USE IT TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. BUT IN THIS CASE IT'S PER CAPITA PER DAY. SO THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF WATER CONSUMED PER GALLONS PER. OF THE 49,000 RESIDENTS OF POWAY. OKAY. SO SO THE TYPICAL USE IS 160 GALLONS A DAY PER PERSON, OKAY. OF POTABLE WATER. THAT INCLUDES IRRIGATION. THAT DOES INCLUDE IRRIGATION IF IT'S WITH POTABLE WATER. THANKS. IT WAS NOT RELEVANT TO MY CONCERNS OR ANYTHING. I JUST, YOU KNOW, I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD EXPLAIN THAT PART. THANKS. SECOND, YOU TALKED ABOUT WATER USE AUDITS.

IS THAT OFFERED TO EVERYBODY THAT ASKS FOR IT OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO FOR THAT, WE PARTNER WITH SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY AND METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT.

AND SO IF WE'RE EVER RECEIVE ANY REQUESTS, WE FORWARD THOSE ALONG AND THEY HAVE VARIOUS PROGRAMS FOR THAT AS WELL. IN THE URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN, WE ACTUALLY MENTIONED, I FORGET THE NUMBER, BUT HOW MANY OF EACH OF THOSE WE CONDUCTED IN THE LAST FIVE YEAR PERIOD? AND IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. DEHOFF. NOTHING. WOW. ARE YOU OKAY? THANK YOU.

CARLOS. YOU KNOW, KIND OF A BORING ITEM, BUT IMPORTANT. I'M DELIGHTED THAT POWAY REMAINS IN A STRONG POSITION IN TERMS OF LONG TERM WATER RELIABILITY, INCLUDING DURING PROJECTED DROUGHT CONDITIONS. I MEAN, THAT'S JUST CRITICAL. LIVING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I APPRECIATE THE CONTINUED EMPHASIS ON CONSERVATION EFFICIENCY AND RESPONSIBLE PLANNING WHILE MAINTAINING RELIABLE SERVICE. I THINK WE ALL TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THAT WE TURN THE TAP ON, AND WE'VE GOT GOOD WATER THERE, AND THAT'S THANKS TO ALL OF THAT PLANNING AND MAINTENANCE AND ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS. SO APPRECIATE STAFF KEEPING US WELL POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE, FOR THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS. DID WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND? I DON'T THINK WE DID. SO I'LL MOVE APPROVAL AND LOOKING FOR A SECOND. FINE. I'LL SECOND EVERYBODY JUMPING AT THE CHANCE. WE HAVE A MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER PICUS TO APPROVE THE NECESSARY CHANGES ON THE CITY OF PARIS 2025 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN IN 2025, URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND NUMBER TWO, ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2025 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN AND THE 2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO INCORPORATE APPROVED CHANGES AND SUBMIT THE PLANS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES AND TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY. THIS IS A ROLL CALL VOTE. WILL THE CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL COUNCIL MEMBER? DEHOFF. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER PIKUS. A DEPUTY MAYOR MAYEDA I AND MAYOR VOSS. A ITEM

[14. General Plan Amendment (GPA) 26-0001, Update to GPA 93-01; a Request to Adopt the City of Poway 2026 Public Safety Element ]

ASSOCIATE PLANNER MARY PISCATELLI WILL PRESENT THE ITEM ALONG WITH THE POWERPOINT.

WELCOME, MARY. THERE WE ARE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. TODAY WE ARE PRESENTING THE CITY OF POWAY GENERAL PLAN PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE. THIS IS A CITY

[00:55:04]

THE PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT IDENTIFIES AND MITIGATES RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SAFETY HAZARDS IN EACH OF THE LISTED FOCUS AREAS, THROUGH ACTIONABLE GOALS AND POLICIES. THE SAFETY ELEMENT IS PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SAFETY THROUGH THE CITY OF POWAY. THIS APPROACH INCLUDES EXISTING PLANNING DOCUMENTS, PROGRAMS, AND RESOURCES THAT ADDRESS HAZARD MITIGATION, PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY. THESE RESOURCES INCLUDE THE MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN, CITY OF POWAY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO OPERATIONS OPERATIONAL AREA, EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, AND EVACUATION PLANNING MEASURES.

THE REMAINING GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS OF PUBLIC FACILITIES, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, TRANSPORTATION, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND HOUSING ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT. OKAY, SO THIS IS FOR FIRE HAZARDS AND EVACUATION ROUTES. THE MAP ON THE LEFT SHOWS THE AREAS WITHIN THE THREE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES MODERATELY HIGH AS SHOWN WITH A YELLOW OUTLINE, HIGH WITH AN ORANGE OUTLINE, AND VERY HIGH WITH A RED OUTLINE.

APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THE CITY OF POWAY IS IN THE VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE. MOST OF THE LAND USES WITHIN THE VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE ARE RURAL, RESIDENTIAL, PLANNED COMMUNITIES AND OPEN SPACE. THE MAP ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THE DESIGNATED EVACUATION ROUTES THROUGHOUT POWAY. THESE DESIGNATED EVACUATION CORRIDORS ARE THE MOST RELIABLE ROADWAY FACILITIES BASED ON THEIR REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY, ROADWAY CAPACITY, AND ACCESSIBILITY.

UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, THE PRIMARY EVACUATION CORRIDORS IDENTIFIED ARE ESPAOLA ROAD FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH POWAY ROAD TO RANCHO BERNARDO ROAD, TWIN PEAKS ROAD, POWAY ROAD, SCRIPPS, POWAY PARKWAY AND POMERADO ROAD. THESE CORRIDORS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED IN COORDINATION WITH THE SAN DIEGO SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE CALTRANS CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL AND OTHER SUPPORTING AGENCIES AS PART OF ANNEX Q OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN. STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS VARIOUS WILDFIRE RISKS INCLUDE EDUCATION TRAINING, MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS, VEGETATION MANAGEMENT, AND BUILDING STANDARDS. THIS IS REGARDING FLOODING. THE CITY OF POWAY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO MAJOR WATERSHEDS, SAN DIEGUITO AND LOS PENASQUITOS, A WATERSHED ALSO KNOWN AS A DRAINAGE BASIN OR CATCHMENT AREA, IS AN AREA OF LAND WHERE ALL THE WATER, INCLUDING RAINFALL AND RUNOFF, DRAIN INTO A COMMON OUTLET, SUCH AS A RIVER, LAKE OR OCEAN. THE MAJORITY OF THE CITY OF POWAY IS WITHIN THE LOS PENASQUITOS CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN, WHICH RECEIVES DRAINAGE FROM POWAY CREEK, POMERADO CREEK, LOS PENASQUITOS CREEK, WHICH IS ALSO BEAVER CREEK AND RATTLESNAKE CREEK. AREAS OF NORTH POWAY ARE WITHIN THE SAN DIEGUITO DRAINAGE BASIN, WHICH RECEIVES DRAINAGE FROM THOMPSON CREEK, GREEN VALLEY CREEK, WARREN CANYON CREEK AND THE GREEN VALLEY TRUCK TRAIL CREEK. SHOWN ON THE RIGHT ARE POTENTIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS.

STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS FLOOD RISK INCLUDE CHANNEL MAINTENANCE, LIMITED DEVELOPMENT IN FLOODPLAIN AREAS, BUILDING STANDARDS AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU REPRESENTS THE CULMINATION OF A SIX YEAR EFFORT OF FIRE, SHERIFF PLANNING, ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS STAFF, COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS AND A COMMUNITY

[01:00:04]

WE OBVIOUSLY FACE REAL WILDFIRE AND EVACUATION CHALLENGES. AND I THINK THIS DOCUMENT, YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATELY RECOGNIZES THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND, AND HOUSING DENSITY CAN ONLY BE CONSIDERED WELL, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EMERGENCY SERVICES. EVACUATION CAPACITY AND OVERALL PUBLIC SAFETY. SO AS THE CITY PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH, IT'S CRITICAL THOSE REALITIES REMAIN CENTRAL TO OUR DECISION MAKING. AND I THINK YOU'VE CAPTURED THAT ALL WELL IN THE REPORT.

AND I THANK YOU. AND I'M HAPPY TO MOVE APPROVAL. DEPUTY MAYOR MAIDA, ANYTHING I'LL SECOND.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE A SECOND FROM DEPUTY MAYOR MAIDA, COUNCILMEMBER PACOS, I JUST WANTED TO SAY IT WAS A GOOD READ. I KNOW IT WAS ALMOST 80 PAGES LONG, BUT THERE WAS A LOT IN THERE. AND I. I ENJOYED GOING THROUGH IT. YOU TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, GEOLOGY AND SEISMIC EVENTS AND DAM DESIGN AND HOW THE DAM IS RESILIENT TO. TO SEISMIC EVENTS. BUT EVEN SO, YOU'VE GOT THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN RIGHT IN THERE IN THAT MAP AND EVACUATION ROUTES.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU PUT INTO IT. IT'S A HUGE DOCUMENT. I HOPE IT DOESN'T GO UNREAD. THAT'S DAM DESIGN. YES. JUST CHECKING PETER. THANK YOU MARRY. THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION, VERY DETAILED. I THINK IT WAS THE WHOLE REPORT'S EYE OPENING AND THE DETAIL AND THE BREADTH. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HERE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO WE HAVE A MOTION FROM THE MAYOR, A COUNCIL MEMBER, A SECOND FROM THE DEPUTY MAYOR TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING GPA 260001 FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF POWAY'S PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT.

THIS IS A ROLL CALL VOTE. WILL THE CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL COUNCIL MEMBER? HOLMES.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER PIKUS. A DEPUTY MAYOR AND MAYOR VOSS. ITEM PASSES. THANK YOU. MOVING
