MINirreS OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD MARCH 14, 1994 <br />(#13) BROWN ROAD ADDRESS CHANGES - RESOLUTION NO. 3403 <br />It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Callahan, to adopt Resolution No. 3403 to change the <br />addresses on Brown Road. Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />(#14) CITIZEN SURVEY - PARKS <br />Hurr felt a written survey would be in the best interest of the City. Parks are for families and <br />a written survey would allow input from everyone in the family. <br />Callahan asked if a survey was needed. <br />Jabbour said a survey had been done about 5 years ago. <br />Callahan stated the last survey indicated that nothing needed to be done except a bike/hike trail <br />McMillan added the response had been low 5 years ago. <br />Goetten noted many things have changed in the past 5 years. <br />Moorsc explained that Shardlow ’s involvement for the survey would simply be to give advise <br />as to types of questions and afterwards they would participate in focus groups. A survey <br />company from the University indicated results would be about the same from either a written <br />or telephone survey. Complex questions are best answered from telephone surveys. <br />Kelley suggested each Park Commission member call about 30 residents they know. <br />McMillan replied it would not be scientific. Decision Resources is recommending that 400 <br />people be contacted. <br />Moorse said whether the survey be in a written form or by phone it should be done by random <br />to get a statistically representative sample of the general population. Sometimes written surveys <br />arc returned only by specific interest groups. <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Goetten, to approve the proposal of Decision Resources <br />Inc. for a parks survey at a cost of $7,200 and related park planning consultant assistance at a <br />cost not to exceed $800, both to be ftinded from the park dedication fund. Ayes 3, nays 2. <br />Kelley and Hurr voted no.
