Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 22, 2024 Page 15 Assistant City Manager Rebecca Olson briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request For Council Action and related attachments dated January 22, 2024. Ms. Olson asked the Council regarding questions 26-30 if these should be replaced with information in the RFCA. Councilmember Etten thought some of the survey questions were duplicates of other questions in the survey and he wondered why these questions would be asked in different yet similar ways. He also wondered if this was part of the discussion with Morris Leatherman. Ms. Olson explained this was not. She asked if Councilmember Etten was referencing the suggested "How well are the facilities and services meeting your needs". She stated what staff could do, if those are the questions he would like to consider, the questions could be combined and just update some of the facilities and other suggestions into one question. Councilmember Etten explained starting at question 18, it is talking about recreation facilities, about how people would rate them, upkeep of park maintenance, and park programming. This is essentially hitting all of those so he would be reluctant to change the questions unless there is some real specific reason why these questions got to something much deeper. The goal is consistency as much as possible and he felt these questions are getting to almost the exact same thing without being redundant. Mayor Roe thought it looks like the question being suggested talks about how well these specific facilities meet the needs of the household and as he looks at the other questions starting with 18,they do not have a specific question about these specific facilities. Then, questions 26 through 30 are very specific to those buildings. He understands what this is getting at but is not necessarily these other questions. Councilmember Etten noted question 31 asks about recreation and sports facilities and what is missing. Maybe there is an addition for certain facilities that could be added or expand some of that but when talking about community versus neighborhood parks, as most people do not know the difference. Trails are mentioned multiple times in these questions and much of this is delineated, so if there is something specific they want to get that is fine, but he did not want to ask a question about six or seven different things that he thought were mostly addressed. He would actually get rid of some of these other ones beyond some of that. Mayor Roe indicated he could get behind that to not be redundant in that section but also making sure the City gets out the information that is trying to be achieved through this.
