REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 7 STAFF REPORT Report Number: 92-139 WS Jan. 2, 1992 V MI° January 6, 1992 AGENDA SESSION DATE Report Date: DISPOSITION Item Description: DISCUSSION REGARDING CITY SERVICES SURVEY Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Prior to and during the Budget hearing for the 1992 budget, the subject of a resident services survey was discussed. The purpose of the survey was to seek out resident views on what services they wished to have in Mounds View, what services or programs they felt could be reduced or eliminated and some better understanding of what the residents were willing to pay for continued or reduced service levels . I have spoken with Diane Traxler of Decision Resources, LTD, who represents the firm which conducted the 1988 Mounds View Community Survey, and she and I are meeting on January 15th to discuss the survey. She commented during our discussion that the City of Richfield has just completed a service analysis survey and a few other cities will be doing surveys later in the year. It appears that this type of analysis is contemplated as a means of providing answers to pending 1993 budget issues . This item is being placed on the Work Session Agenda to begin the discussion regarding the need for the survey, what kind of survey does the Council envision, what are the issues which need to be addressed and how will the survey material be used upon its conmpletion.Also, the discussion needs to include the issueof publishing a survey in the City newsletter - one that compliments the formal survey. I have attached a copy of the Executive Summary from the 1988 survey. Saman a Orduno, Cit Administrator RECOMMENDATION;
