Home My WebLink AboutCommunity Survey memoof Mounds View Memo To: Honorable Mayor and City Councill From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator Date: 1/24/05 Item Title/Subject: DRAFT Community Survey Attached are to drafts of the community survey that is scheduled for review at the February 7th Council work session. The first survey is the prescribed length of around 50 questions, while the second survey is 104 questions. The longer survey is a first draft of possible questions after review by the department heads. Obviously, the questionnaire had to be reduced significantly to get to the 50 -question level. I thought the longer version may be of interest if you. Perhaps you'll see a question that you would like to substitute into the short version. It is the intent to keep the survey at the budgeted amount of 50 questions. Additional questions are $135 each. Please review the documents for discussion on the 7th. Thank you.
