Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 10, 2014 Page 21 Mr. Bowman noted that suggestion, and advised he would ask the survey compa- ny for their input as well. Mayor Roe concurred that specific ratings and rankings would provide more con- sistency unless free form answers were desired. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Bowman suggested that the sur- vey company be asked for their input on how best to rank questions. Communication Performance (Questions#74 and 75) Regarding the forms of communication, Councilmember Etten suggested includ- ing a list of options in Question#74, and then start Question#75 with, "Consider- ing those options, how would you prefer to receive your communications...?" Councilmember Etten opined that then the options wouldn't' need to be relisted, but the response would relate to the list already created for them in the first ques- tion. Work/Performance of the Mayor and City Council (Questions #46,47) Councilmember Etten suggested that this question be eliminated; opining that he didn't know if people felt strongly about that, and he was much more interested in their response to Question #47 related to performance, questioning the goal of asking Question#46. Councilmember Willmus spoke in support of eliminating #46 to shorten the sur- vey; with Mayor Roe concurring to drop#46. Which Park Used Most Frequently(Questions #17—27) Councilmember Etten advised that he had several questions he would send to Mr. Bowman to bring up regarding the order of questions. Councilmember Etten ad- vised that Question#18, as an example, was unnecessary since a specific list bro- ken down by percentages was available from the survey done three years ago, in addition to other similar questions; and questioned the need to ask them again. Councilmember Etten suggested those redundant questions could be cut; with the remainder of the body concurring with their elimination. Community Aspects/Quality of Life (Questions 13, 14) With concurrence of the body, Councilmember Etten suggested those questions be combined as they essentially got to the same feature. Mayor Roe concurred that this made sense. Mayor Roe concurred with Councilmember Etten on Questions #17—27 that they should be reviewed to avoid duplication of responses already received from the Parks & Recreation Survey completed three years ago.
