ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION — NOVEMBER 14, 2016 2 Mr. Zipko discussed other ways he was working to drive members of the community to the open house event. Councilmember Holden requested the brackets be removed from the feedback form. She believed this would make it easier to read. She asked that the font size also be increased. Mayor Grant suggested a question be placed on the feedback form asking residents what they would change versus just asking for general comments. Councilmember McClung believed this was a leading question. Councilmember Holden supported the Mayor's question and wanted to be ensured the City could gather information from the public. She believed that the survey as presented did not address any of her concerns. Mayor Grant suggested the survey contain questions that address both the likes and dislikes within the concept plan. Councilmember Holmes supported Mayor Grant's question being added but believed the remainder of the survey should remain as is. She recommended the question regarding the Civic space be removed due to the fact the City did not have a concept for this area. Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers, suggested a question be drafted that states: What do you like or dislike about the concept plan. She believed this would address the concerns of the Council. Councilmember Holden wanted to see the survey written in a manner that truly requested feedback and suggestions. Councilmember McClung recommended the order of the questions be reconsidered and suggested the first question read: Do you have any suggestions or recommendations regarding the concept plan. The second question should read: What concerns do you have with the project. The third question was to read: What do you like about the concept plan. Mr. Zipko suggested the third and final question simply read: Other Comments as this would allow for open ended feedback from the public. He recommended the questions read as follows: 1. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations regarding the TCAAP concept plan? 2. What concerns do you have with the project? 3. Other comments Councilmember Holden asked how many people would be able to visit a station at a time at the Open House. Mr. Zipko estimated eight to twelve people would be able to view the stations at any given time and noted there would be six stations at the Open House. He anticipated the discussions at the stations would be very conversational.
