REQUEST FOR COLT^CIL ACTION «i>r ■*->'DATE: May ^ <br />NO: yUITEM NO <br />Department Approval:Administrator Reviewed;Agenda Section: <br />Name Ron Moorse 7 City Administrator ’s <br />Title City Administrator S/' .Report <br />Item Description: <br />Park Survey <br />At the May 9 Council meeting several concerns were expressed regarding the draft of the park <br />survey. The concerns related to both the formal and the focus of the survey. One concern was <br />that the formal began with specific activities (micro) and then went to more general questions <br />(macro). It was suggested that the format should begin at the macro level and move to the micro <br />level. Concerns were also expressed regarding whether the survey as drafted would provide the <br />information the City needs. <br />From staffs perspective the purpose of the survey is to provide information to address three <br />main questions: <br />1. Are the City ’s residents generally satisfied with the parks and recreation facilities <br />currently available to them? <br />2. Are there needs not being met that residents want the City to meet? <br />3. do the residents want the City to meet their unmet needs if they have to pay their <br />share of the costs? <br />The survey is set up to obtain this information in several ways. <br />1. The questions related to specific activities will enable the City to create a <br />recreation profile, or profiles, of the City ’s residents. This will enable the City <br />to determine what the general orientation of its residents is in relation to parks <br />and recreation. <br />2. A series of questions has been designed to obtain general information about <br />whether the current parks and facilities meet citizen needs.
