Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 10, 2014 Page 17 Councilmember Etten expressed his interest in keeping it simple, with no more than a two-part option. Councilmember Willmus concurred with Mayor Roe and Councilmember Etten. Councilmember McGehee agreed with the recommendation of Councilmember Etten, opining that it would obtain the information she was looking for. Councilmember Willmus, attempting to reduce the number of questions and data sought, noted that those specific questions had already been addressed on a fairly broad scientific survey and already available through the Parks & Recreation Master Plan survey recently completed. Councilmember Willmus suggested that the data obtained from that survey be referenced to make sure it wasn't a repeat in this survey. Mayor Roe concurred that the previous Parks & Recreations Survey should be re- viewed. Councilmember Laliberte concurred that the questions should be kept basic and simple; and opined that it was more important that, when asking the questions, the City Council makes sure they follow through on the citizen wishes. Logistical Questions about the Survey and Survey Vendor At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Bowman advised that the survey company purchased phone numbers in batches,both random land lines and cell phone numbers for use in the survey process. Organized Collection (#70, 71, 72) Regarding Councilmember McGehee's handout, Councilmember Willmus cau- tioned care pertaining to organized collection, opining that her proposed questions seemed too leading. Councilmember McGehee stated that she found the question as stated inaccurate. Councilmember Willmus responded that the proposed question was similar to those asked in other communities. Mayor Roe suggested, instead of debating the wording of the questions, the City Council focus on what information they wanted to find out. Councilmember Willmus stated that his interest was in finding out whether or not people wanted organized collection; and opined that he didn't find Councilmem- ber McGehee's proposed language proper to accomplish that goal.
