Citywide Survey – Mayor Reinert noted that it has been about eight years since the 181 <br />city last conducted a survey and he thinks it would be a good thing to do again. 182 <br />Administrator Karlson estimated the cost of a citywide survey through an experienced 183 <br />firm such as Decision Resources to be in the range of $12,500.
