Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 12,2018 Page 5 support, that might help the staff one way or the other. Currently staff is working with the County on possible locations. Councilmember Etten wondered whether that should be included on the survey. Mr. Culver indicated the survey will be very helpful in the discussions with Ram- sey County. Councilmember Etten responded he sees several questions as education and awareness pieces, so this could educate residents that this is a real possibility. Councilmember Laliberte noted that while Ramsey County may be interested in having a spot in Roseville, the Council has not had a discussion yet about it. Therefore, this might be creating angst when the discussion has not happened. Councilmember McGehee suggested something like "The City may be interested in a drop-off site." Councilmember Willmus commented he would strike question 93. The rest of the questions he does not have issue with; it is interesting to gather the data. The City does not have everything completely nailed down. Councilmember Etten pointed out a typo on question 95: "you" should be"your." Communications Manager Bowman moved on to the garbage collection ques- tions. Question 97 addresses moving to one hauler or set of haulers. Questions 99— 103 lead the respondent into thinking about a lot of different areas, including street maintenance and upkeep, customer service, and safety. Councilmember Willmus has no problem with question 97 and 98. Regarding questions 99 through 103, however, the City does not have any data that substan- tiates the questions and the manner with which they are posed. It is misleading. Councilmember Etten stated these questions ask opinions about things that the Council needs to have data, not someone's opinion as to whether someone is harming the road. He would rather have staff bring in a study showing use on the road. He crossed out questions, because the City Council can get data to make decisions, not opinions. Councilmember McGehee believes there is data to back up these questions. But this is not the job of the survey. Asking attitudinal questions seems unnecessary. She believes Mr. Culver can bring data forward,but that is for a different time. The Council expressed support for eliminating questions 99 through 103.
