To Waive the Reading, Introduce the First Reading and Approve Ordinance 736, an Ordinance Amending the City Charter Section 4.02, Filing for Office. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. I. Community Survey City Administrator Ulrich asked Council to discuss whether Members would like to move forward with a community survey at this time or table it for future consideration. i Council Member Stigney indicated that he would like to wait until it is determined what questions should be asked rather than asking questions that do not assist the City. Council Member Gunn said she would like to table this until the Council and Staff work together to formulate questions. Council Member Marty indicated that even though the survey could provide important information he does not feel that this is the time to expend funds to do so. Council Member Quick said he does not want to do a survey because he feels it is too late in this cycle for this Council to benefit from a survey. Mayor Linke said he feels that if this Council does the survey the new Council would benefit from it and it would save them time. He then said that some of the questions from the 1992 survey could be used for this survey in order to allow for comparison between the two surveys. Council Member Stigney agreed with the premise but said the questions are not there that the City is trying to get answers to. He then said that he does not see the benefit of a general survey and he would like to formulate the survey questions based on specific questions with regard to issues within the City. Council Member Stigney indicated he did not say never bring it back but he does not want to conduct it at this time until Council determines the questions that are to be asked.
