At this time the City Council is considering a fifty (50) -question survey. The City Administrator is currently revising the survey to reflect the City Councils comments. The Park and Recreation should review the questions in the proposed survey, review the original eleven questions submitted, and provide a recommendation to the City Administrator for any revisions. Attached is a copy of the draft survey that was reviewed by City Council on December 1, 2003 along with the original eleven questions. • City administrator, Kurt Ulrich, was introduced. • Kurt looked at the survey that was done in 1988. Then tried to incorporate the eleven questions into the survey. Keeping in mind that the survey will need to be reduced to 50 questions. • Survey would be over the phone and would contact 400 residents. • Kurt went over the questions that pertained to parks. • There was a lot of detailed discussion of specific questions. • Kurt will be sitting down with an expert in writing these type of questions. • Mandoza thought there should be a question on the big ticket / expensive items.
