MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 9, 1994 The Administrator replied that it is underway. SURVEY & The City Administrator reported that the Park & CIP BUDGET Recreation Commission has finalized their prioritization of capital improvements. Staff will meet again to review the CIP Budget and recommend any adjustments they feel necessary. The Administrator pointed out that the community survey is a part of the CIP budget and asked if Council felt any adjustment to the $10,000 included in the CIP Budget for that survey was necessary. Morelan pointed out that the $10,000 would not be enough to cover the cost of a survey if it were conducted by the survey firm which made a presentation earlier this evening. Morelan suggested that adequate dollars be allocated in the event that the City wished to use this firm. Scalze questioned doubling the allocation for the survey, and was not convinced that this firm would provide a survey that was worth twice as much as the other quote the City has. Morelan stated that if adequate data cannot be compiled from a survey conducted by the firm with the less expensive quote, than there was no reason to spend the $8,000. Scalze suggested that staff contact Decision Resources for a price on a business survey to determine if the $10,000 budgeted was adequate. Pedersen stated that if a survey cannot be done for $10,000, he did not think one should be done at all. Pedersen felt $20,000 was too expensive and would be difficult to convince the taxpayers that it was worth it. Scalze pointed out the wide experience that Decision Resources has with city surveys. Morelan agreed that Decision Resources should be contacted to determine the cost of a business survey. The Administrator reported that he would obtain this information. ADJOURN Mr. Pedersen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Page 16
