<br />Item No: 3 <br />Meeting Date: Aug 3, 2009 <br />Type of Business: Work Session <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree Crane Assistant City Clerk-Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Survey Questions – Festival in the Park Booth <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City Council instructed staff at the June Work Session to draft survey questions in <br />regard to dog kennel licensing and the City’s tagline. These survey questions were to <br />be available for residents to answer at the Festival in the Park event, scheduled for <br />Saturday, August 22, 2009. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff conducted a cost analysis, and it would cost the City approximately $400.00 to just <br />staff the booth (booth would potentially be open from Noon to about 8pm). The $400.00 <br />does not include staff time to draft the questions, supplies for the booth and calculating <br />the survey responses. In addition, Staff is not certain if there would be enough <br />responses from the survey to make an accurate conclusion on the results. <br /> <br />Staff currently has information on the City’s website for residents to submit new tagline <br />ideas for the City. According to the information on the City’s website, tagline ideas <br />should be submitted by September 18th to Heidi Steinmetz. So far, the City has only <br />received two tagline ideas from residents. <br /> <br />Staff is requesting guidance from the City Council on whether to proceed with the <br />survey and/or a City booth at the Festival. If the City Council wishes to proceed with a <br />survey and/or a City booth, then Staff can have questions available for City Council <br />comment at the August 10, 2009, City Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />____________________ <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
