Roseville, MN - Official Website Page 6 of 22 chosen households only from the voter registration lists, so no people were eliminated that way; however, he noted that Roseville simply had a high percentage of voters. Mr. Vine advised that it was not his firm's preference to use voter lists, as they were often outdated and Leisure Vision preferred to draw randomly from the entire community. At the suggestion of Ms. Anfang, Mr. Vine briefly reviewed demographic information not already addressed, with 44% of respondents being male and 56% women; with Mr. Vine noting that it was typical that women filled out more surveys than men, as well as knowing more about their families than men. Home values of respondents indicated those within the $200,000 to $299,000 range were 43%, and those with the range of $100,000 to $199,999 were 25%, with 6% not providing that information. Councilmember Johnson asked how he could best make determinations from survey results for allocation of funds and implementation to ensure all bases were covered equitably based on those demographics. Mr. Vine suggested that the survey data could be broken down in any number of ways; and his firm was willing to provide additional information as needed; with all survey data geo-coded so it can be entered in to the City's GIS database to address demographic breakdowns, crossovers within those demographics, and to identify and address unique facilities. Councilmember Pust questioned if the 6% of respondents not choosing to provide the value of their residence indicated those were renters. Mr. Vine, and Mr. Brokke, responded that while the question of whether renting or not was not a survey question, it was typical that those households were rentals. On behalf of the City Council, public and staff, Mr. Brokke thanked Mr. Vine for his participation by phone for tonight's presentation and discussion. Mr. Vine thanked the excellent Roseville community for their participation; and thanked the City's staff for their assistance through the process; and again offered his availability to answer additional questions at a later date as applicable. Mr. Brokke thanked Parks and Recreation Chair/Organizing Team Chair Jason Etten; Jim Stark lead on the survey; and citizen committees who reviewed many drafts of the survey before it was finalized; and thanked the community for their willingness to provide input. Mr. Brokke opined that, in the end, it was a good survey providing needed information; and thanked Parks and Recreation staff as well for their work, specifically Jill Anfang as staff lead for the survey. Mayor Roe echoed those thanks on behalf of the City Council. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 7:11 pm to reposition the Council Chambers for the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council at the presentation table; and reconvened at approximately 7:20 pm. b.
