Hanson <br />wvvw.ci.little- canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Biesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: August 18, 2005 <br />RE: Community Survey Proposal <br />Decision Resources <br />Attached is a proposal from Decision Resources for conducting a residential survey. <br />Please note that the $10,200 cost includes 50 question units, and the estimate for a 100 <br />question unit survey is $16,950. The City's 1988 survey consisted of 113 questions and <br />the 1995 survey had 157 questions (cost of $18,705 and $24,645 based on today's costs). <br />Please note the Project Timeline. Decision Resources is proposing one planning meeting <br />to establish topics for questions. They would then structure the questions and submit a <br />draft to the Council for approval. Staff feels that having one planning meeting may be <br />overly optimistic, and Decision Resources has agreed to add an initial topic <br />brainstorming session if the Council so desires. Staff will provide the Council with <br />copies of the survey question script from the previous two surveys under separate cover <br />to assist in the survey planning process. <br />If Council supports the need for a community survey at this time, staff would recommend <br />approval of Decision Resources' proposal, identification of planning participants, and <br />scheduling of the planning meeting. <br />
