<br />DECISION RESOURCES, LTD. <br />3128 Dean Court <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416 <br /> <br />March 12, 2007 <br /> <br />Mr. Schawn Johnson <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 West Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 <br /> <br />Dear Schawn: <br /> <br />Decision Resources, Ltd., is pleased to present this survey research proposal to you for the City <br />of Arden Hills. This prospectus is organized in three parts: a discussion of the goals of the <br />research; a potential design and schedule; and, estimated project costs. As you will see, I am <br />certain that DRL can provide Arden Hills with the information it seeks in both a cost-effective <br />and timely manner. <br /> <br />GOALS OF THE RESEARCH: <br /> <br />The survey would assess the attitudes and opinions of residents of the City of Arden Hills on four <br />separate, but interrelated issues: <br /> <br />1. Evaluation of City Programs and Services: How informed are residents about the current <br />services and programs provided by the City? How do they rate these services and programs? <br />What services and programs, if any, would they expand, modifY, or terminate? Do they consider <br />city services a good value for the property taxes they pay? How do they rate the level of current <br />property taxes in comparison with other areas? <br /> <br />2. General Perceptions of the Quality of Life in the City of Arden Hills: What do they like most <br />about living in the City? What do they consider to be the most serious issues facing the City? <br />How are residents viewing changes during the past few years? What attributes of the City would <br />residents prioritize for preservation? What changes would they welcome or at least accept? Do <br />residents see the City moving forward purposefully? What are the key components in the <br />concept of "high quality oflife" which residents agree upon? <br /> <br />
