Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, July 25, 2016 <br />Page 25 <br />Proposal, Section 3, Additional Information, Pa�e 7 <br />Item d <br />Councilmember McGehee asked staff what was intended by this additional infor- <br />mation request. <br />Mr. Lloyd responded it was intended to include a consultant's methods for getting <br />input (e.g. survey methods, etc.). <br />Item b <br />In reading the city's own most recent survey, Councilmember McGehee noted <br />50% of the community weren't on line; so the idea of having the technology com- <br />ponent as a requirement from her perspective didn't seem like a big plus.
