MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 7, 1994 <br /> (#3) PARK PLANNING - CONT. <br /> Case said the proposal is structured for additional involvement to be through City staff except <br /> that workshops could involve special interest groups. <br /> Ilse asked if bids would be received from other survey companies. <br /> Moorse responded that it would be possible to get estimates from other companies. Decision <br /> Resources are used by many cities and school districts and he feels their cost is reasonable. <br /> Chair Flint asked reasons a phone survey would be favored rather than a written survey. <br /> Case answered a phone survey is both cost and time effective. <br /> Chair Flint asked for opinions from other members. <br /> White expressed that he was comfortable with the proposal and cost. McMillan felt there should <br /> be a recommendation made to Council to move ahead with Phase 1 to hire Decision Resources <br /> to complete a telephone survey. Chair Flint favored waiting a month to give Decision Resources <br /> an opportunity to attend the next Park Commission meeting. Isle said she is arvcious for the park <br /> planning but needs to have a better understanding of monies. She does not have a preference <br /> for the type of survey but wants community involvement. Vongries felt a written mailed survey <br /> would give everyone an opportunity to voice an opinion and there would be no point to have <br /> Decision Resources present their views at an upcoming meeting. He suggested contacting an <br /> impartial statistician group perhaps from the University to show the pros and cons of various <br /> surveys. He added, "We should be taught by somebody who teaches not by somebody who is <br /> selling something." Howells favored the survey by Decision Resources. <br /> McMillan moved, White seconded, that a recommendation be made to Council to go ahead with <br /> Phase 1 for a telephone survey to be completed by Decision Resources. Ayes 4, Nays 1, <br /> Abstention 1. Vongries voted no and Isle abstained. <br /> Moorse said the Park Commission's recommendation would be placed on the March 14, 1994 <br /> Council agenda. <br /> Chair Flint noted he would be in China from March lOth to 20th, suggested that McMillan <br /> attend the Council meeting, and reminded Moorse a clarification was needed regarding the <br /> expenditure of park dedication fees. <br /> 5 <br />
