Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 12, 2018 Page 9 e. Consider Request to Conduct a Community Survey Communications Manager Bowman briefly reviewed this survey request, noting the City conducted surveys in 2014 and 2016. Council had expressed a desire to conduct them on an every-other-year basis. He asked for feedback about whether to proceed with another survey, what company to use, and what content to in- clude. The Council unanimously agreed they would like to proceed with another survey. Councilmember Willmus asked about the highlighted questions from past sur- veys. Mr. Bowman noted those should be looked at to see if they are still relevant. The Council unanimously agreed Morris Leatherman should conduct the survey again. Mr. Bowman began discussing each of the highlighted questions in the Council's packet. Questions 26-30 on the 2016 survey related to the new park buildings: 26. Are you aware of these new park buildings? 27. Have you or members of your household visited or used one of the new park buildings? 28. How would you rate your experience — excellent, good, only fair, or poor? 29. Would you consider using one of the new park buildings again in the future? 30. Why haven't you or members of your household visited or used one of the new park buildings? Councilmember Willmus suggested leaving these questions in to provide a metric. Councilmember McGehee suggested keeping questions 26, 27, and 30 and remov- ing 28 and 29 if there needs to be room for additional questions. Mr. Bowman stated it would be good to know if people are visiting these build- ings and if they are meeting the community's expectations. He would also defer to the Parks and Rec Department for input. Parks and Rec Director Brokke noted those would be helpful questions.
