ROLL CALL
Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence -Anderson, Lin
Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan were present. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey,
Interim Assistant to the City Manager Reggie Edwards, Finance Director Nate Reinhardt, Public
Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary

Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and Michaela Kujawa-Daniels, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson requested discussion on Item 8a, An Ordinance Amending
Chapter 23 of the City Code of Ordinances Adding Sections 23-2400 through 23-2414 Requiring
Licenses for Transient Accommodations. In particular she was wondering if there would be a
presentation on this item and asked how background checks on every employee came forward.
Mayor Willson stated the State does background checks on everyone. City Manager Curt
Boganey stated the City does them for every employee as well. He noted that it is a way to put a
manager on notice that they are accountable for the people they hire. He stated if something
were to happen they could then review the background check and see if the management did
their due diligence.
Mayor Willson stated after the first round of licensing is done he thinks they should conduct a
follow-up and make sure all hotels are adhering to the new ordinance. Mr. Boganey stated for
clarification that the City will only be checking to ensure the hotels did the background checks,
they will not be reviewing the reports. Mayor Willson stated that is correct.
Councilmember Ryan requested discussion on Item 8b, Improvement Project Nos. 2017-01, 02,
03, 04, and 05, Evergreen Park Area Street, Storm Drainage, Utility, and Trail Improvements. In
particular, he wanted to see if there was something they can provide to residents like a guide on
their tax amounts being added to their bills. Mr. Boganey stated they will review this in the
regular session.
11/28/16 -1- DRAFT
MISCELLANEOUS
Councilmember Graves stated due to the high number of hate crimes being committed, she felt it
was time to introduce a Resolution. She provided the Councilmembers a Resolution
Condemning Violence and Hate Speech, Expressing Solidarity with Muslims and All Those
Targeted for Their Ethnicity, Race, or Religion. Mr. Boganey stated he thinks they should put
this on a future agenda for consideration. The Councilmembers agreed.
Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson stated there has been a lot of talk regarding pop up libraries
and was wondering if this will be an issue regarding property laws or Ordinances. Mayor
Willson stated he thinks there isn't any issue with doing this as long as it isn't a nuisance and
they keep them within the setback regulations from the walkways on their own property.
Mr. Boganey asked the Council to review the dates available for the Council and Leadership
Team Retreat and come to a consensus for a date. He stated Craig Rapp is available starting at 3
p.m. most of the dates. It was the consensus of the Council to have the retreat on January 27th
and 28th. Noting secondary dates would be February 24th and 25th.
Mayor Willson stated he will be in Washington for the Mayors Conference and Presidential
Inauguration on January 16th — 21st.
Councilmember Ryan stated he will be out of town December 21s'- 27th for the holidays.
DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS
BRANDING AND IDENTITY CAMPAIGN— FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS — MR.
EDWARDS
Interim Assistant to the City Manager Reggie Edwards provided background on this item. He
stated he is asking the Council to review the list of potential focus group participants and give
some direction. Mr. Boganey stated everyone who is on the list will not be able to be in a focus
group, so it is important to make sure the Council identifies who they absolutely want to
participate in the focus group.
Mayor Willson stated he recognizes 95% of the list and thinks they would all be good as they are
all heavily involved in the community. He stated he does think they should leave the door open
to add additional members from outside the box because it will provide a different perspective
than what they will get from those listed on the list. Mayor Willson stated he thinks it is
important to expand the list then regardless. Mr. Boganey stated the Council has their own focus
group which is why they aren't listed on this list.
Councilmember Myszkowski asked if there will be room for interpreters in the focus groups so
they can get all members input. Mr. Boganey replied yes, there will be room for interpreters.

BRANDING AND IDENTITY CAMPAIGN — FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS — MR.
EDWARDS (continued)
Councilmember Ryan stated using social media more to communicate with residents would be
great. Mayor Willson stated he agrees and thinks it would be a good idea to continue to grow
social media contact.
Mr. Boganey stated they have a week to narrow down the list of names and communicate the
date to those chosen.
Mayor Willson stated he is concerned it is coming so soon and with 300 people responding to the
survey that is a lot of people to look at. He noted he thinks more data will be needed. Mr.
Boganey stated they will have that data already. Mayor Willson stated he thinks they can move
forward with the list they have then.
It was the majority consensus of the City Council to take a few days to get a list narrowed down
then pass it along to Mr. Boganey.

Police Chief Tim Gannon introduced the item, and invited Sergeant Toohey forward to provide a
presentation stating the history and purpose of the proposed ordinance.
Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson stated she thinks issuing parking passes is a great idea. She
noted that they have ARM meetings for apartments and is wondering if they can require

similar; they have quarterly meetings with the hotel owners and management to address any
issues and concerns. '
Mayor Willson stated he thinks this Ordinance fits into the image they want in the city, malting it
safer and better.
Councilmember Ryan asked if it is fair to say that this issue isn't unique to Brooklyn Center.
Sergeant Toohey stated he doesn't have the data, but subjectively he doesn't believe it is unique
to Brooklyn Center. He stated all cities have some issues within their hotels. He noted however,
that Brooklyn Center's violations and incidents are higher than most other cities.
11/28/16 -4- DRAFT
City Manager Boganey stated some of the hotels are not currently modeling this Ordinance
because their upper management will not allow them to do so unless there is an Ordinance on
this issue. He stated he believes most want to implement such an Ordinance and will support it
once it is in place.
Mayor Willson stated there is a best practices model that this is based off of. Mr. Boganey stated
it is important to note that six of nine hotels in Brooklyn Center are great hotels with minimal
issues and that it is the three hotels that they are trying to get their attention to create better
businesses for visitors and residents of Brooklyn Center.

MR. EITEL
Mr. Eitel provided a presentation on the background and status on this item.

that type of money. Mr. Eitel stated that is correct, the funding sources will want to protect their

City Council Agenda Item No. 6d
DATE: December 1, 2016
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manao
FROM: Kelli Wick, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION SETTING SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2017
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution setting salaries for calendar year 2017.
Background:
Section 2.07 of the City Charter requires that the City Council shall fix the salary of all employees of
the City. Generally speaking, the City employs three different sets of employees, union, non-union
and city manager.
Union employees encompass the vast majority of public works and police department employees.
Salaries and wages for these employees are established through the collective bargaining process.
We are settled with LELS Local 82 (police officers) for 2017. We are in negotiations with police
supervisors and public works.
The action before you relates to the wages and salaries of the eighty-three (83) non-union full-time
employees working for the City. These at -will employees have no contract and rely upon the actions
of the City Council through policy to assure reasonable working conditions, salaries and wages that
are competitive in the market place.
The proposed budget provides for a two percent general wage increase. It also provides for
scheduled performance based step increases for employees below the range maximum. I am
recommending approval of the pay plan with a 2% general wage increase for 2017.
Budget Issues:
The proposed budget will support a 2% pay plan adjustment and scheduled performance step
increases provided by the resolution.
Mission: Ensniing an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive community that enhances the duality of life
for all people and preserves the public trust
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION SETTING SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2017
WHEREAS, Section 2.07 of the City Charter for the City of Brooklyn Center requires
that the City Council shall fix the salary of all officers and employees of the City; and
WHEREAS, the 1984 Pay Equity Act as adopted and amended by the Legislature
requires every political subdivision of the State of Minnesota to establish "equitable compensation
relationships" between its employees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the 2017 Full-time Employee Pay Plan;
and
WHEREAS, an individual employee's movement through their respective pay
schedule reflects a progression in corresponding levels or improved job performance; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that it hereby sets wages, salaries for the calendar year 2017 by adoption of the
attached Pay Plan and allows the City Manager to set appropriate increases to the part-time schedule
consistent with other employee groups, which the City Manager shall be authorized to pay.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager may reclassify, adjust, add
and/or delete position(s) to pay grades in the Pay Plan(s) but is limited to authorizing increases due
to Pay Equity Act compliance and by the Annual Budget constraints adopted by the City Council;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 2017 Full-time Pay Plan is approved and
adopted because it is in general an equitable pay plan for City Employees; however, parts of the Pay
Plan are approved and adopted solely for the purpose of compliance with the mandates of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 471.999; that adoption of the Pay Plan shall create no vested rights, terms or
conditions of employment or entitlement to any given level of compensation for any employee or
group of employees; that the Pay Plan shall be subject to continuing review and reconsideration and
may be amended from time to time by the City Council; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager be authorized to employ full
and part-time and/or temporary employees as may be necessary, and to establish competitive rates of
pay for such help consistent with the 2017 budget appropriations and to make interim appointments
to fill vacant positions whenever a position is vacant because a regular employee is on leave of
absence, vacation leave, sick leave, or is absent for any other reason, and to establish rates of pay for
such appointments consistent with the 2017 budget appropriations; and
RESOLUTION NO.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that authorized wage adjustments, not to exceed the
maximums contained herein, shall become effective January 1, 2017.

City Council Agenda Item No. 6e
DATE: December 6, 2016
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Steve Lillehaug, Director of Public Works/City Engineer ��
d
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Execution of Professional Service Agreements with
Qualifying Consulting Engineering Firms for 2017, 2018 and 2019
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of the consultant pool to assist staff in
areas where special expertise is required or when the workload is such that it cannot be
accommodated in a timely fashion by in-house staff. This consultant pool would exist for a three-
year period and would be drawn upon on a project basis to enter into professional services
agreements for the needed services.
Background:
Consulting services for architectural, engineering, scientific or other professional training are
typically obtained on an individual project basis as needed by obtaining bids from several
consultants. In an effort to streamline the process and to assist municipal staff in obtaining
consulting services in areas where special expertise is required or when workload is such that it
cannot be accommodated in a timely fashion by in-house staff, a pre -approved consulting pool
selection process and list are being provided for consideration.
Staff solicited Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualifying firms and in reviewing the
qualifications, the philosophy is to establish a pool of firms whose combined and overlapping
areas of expertise and abilities will allow staff to draw upon their services in the most cost-
effective manner possible without becoming overly dependent on any one firm. While some
firms are obviously specialists in a specific field of practice, we will attempt to retain firms
whose secondary areas of expertise can serve as backup in the event that a primary firm has a
conflict of interest, or is unable to undertake a project for whatever reason.
The City received SOQs from 25 firms. For the 2017 through 2019 period, the 23 firms listed in
the attached resolution are being recommended for approval for this three-year period. These
firms were selected after a thorough review of all SOQs. All firms have the technical expertise
and capacity to assist in delivering the City's projects. Thirteen of these firms are currently under
contract with the City and staff is satisfied with their quality of performance and level of service.
Three of the 23 firms are certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE).
Overall, staff feels that this combination of consulting firms represents sufficient expertise to
accommodate the recurring engineering, architectural, planning and design needs of the City in
an efficient and cost-effective manner.
]Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive conununi{v that enhances the qualify of life
for all people and preserves the public trust
Budget Issues:
There are no budget issues to consider. Individual professional service agreements would be
negotiated on a project by project basis to develop a scope, using the fee schedules that were
provided by each firm and approved as part of this process. It is planned that each firm will
update its fee schedule annually for consideration and approval by the City.

City Council Agenda Item No. 8a
COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDiTM
DATE: December 12, 2016
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manag�
FROM: Nathan Reinhardt, Finance Director
SiJBTECT: Ordinance Amending Chapter 4 —Public Utility and Service Districts
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council, following consideration of this item under Second
Reading and after Public Hearing, adopt the Ordinance Amending Chapter 4 —Public Utility and
Service Districts.
BacKground:
On November 14, 2016 City Council approved the 1�` reading of the Ordinance Amending
Chapter 4 —Public Utility and Service Districts.
As required by current City ordinance, utility customers are charged a water meter purchase fee
at a price established in the public utilities rate schedule. For residential customers, this water
meter purchase fee is cun-ently $52.00. When a customer sells the property, the public utilities
division repurchases the meter at the price which the customer had purchased the meter.
When a new account is opened we charge a $52.00 meter purchase fee on the customer's first
utility bill. If the meter is damaged, this fee will not be refunded. If another meter is damaged
the customer is required to purchase another meter for an additional $52.00. In the past two
years, 76 meters in total were replaced. Damaged meters were most frequently caused by
freezing temperatures inside the property owners home, however there were also some meters
stripped from vacant homes for their brass value. The CiTy replaces and will continue to replace
water meters found to be worn or defective at no cost to the property owner.
Although this is considered a fee, its impact is very similaz to charging a deposit. The City only
retains the meter purchase fee in the instance that a mater is damaged and replaced or a balance
remains unpaid when the account is closed. A deposit, unlike a fee, would require interest to be
calculated on the deposit and returned to the customer when the account is closed. Since the
meter is being purchased back by the City, the City never receives a true reimbursement for the
actual cost of the meter.
The current process has a few administrative challenges. When a property closes and the owner
has lived in the property for a number of years, it can be difficult to determine whether or not the
meter purchase fee was originally paid. In the instance of rental properties (residential and
business leases), it can also be difficult to determine if the tenant or the landlord paid the meter
purchase fee. We also run into a situation, where if an owner never pays a utility bill, we. don't
receive a meter purchase fee for that customer. If customers sell their properties and moves out
of the City, it can be very dif£cult to locate the customers and refund the water meter purchase

fee. This results in a large quantity of undeliverable mail being received back by the utility
billing department and additional attempts to locate the individuals.
With the proposed ordinance change the City would apply a meter charge for new meters or
replacement of damaged meters only, as opposed to all utility customers. The fee would be non-
refundable. In a separate council action setting the public utility rates for 2017, City staff will be
proposing a $99 meter charge to replace the current meter purchase fee of $52. The meter charge
would recover just under half the current cost ($214) of a residential meter. Customers who have
previously paid the meter purchase fee will still receive this meter purchase fee back when they
sell the property. Water meters larger than 3/4" will receive a meter charge of actual cost plus
$2.00.
Additional wording changes in the ordinance are also proposed to reflect the change in the
process of meter readings, which was previously done by the property owner through returning a
postal card to remote meter readings, completed by public utilities staff.
The item was first read on November 14, 2016 and published in the official newspaper on
November 24, 2016.
Budget Issues:
The ordinance change will eliminate the sale and buy back of water meters on utility accounts
and replace it with a charge for new or replacement of damaged water meters. The City will
continue to replace meters found worn or defective at no cost to the property owner.

It is recontntended that the City Council, following a public hearing, consider approval o£ the
attached resolutions setting rates for City provided utility services for 2017.
Background:
At the October 17, 2016 joint work session of the City Council and Financial Commission, staff
presented the expected expenditures for operation of the City's utility services for 2017. The
expenditures include total direct and indirect costs including depreciation of capital assets and
administrative costs. The work session also included projections o£revenue needed for 2017 and
for the next fiReen years to keep operations running smoothly and fitnd the infrastructure
improvements needed in each of the utility systems. The cash flow analysis for each of the five
utilities indicate anticipated rate changes necessary to maintain targeted cash balances during the
construction of the utility improvements associated with the City's 15 -year Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP).
For 2017, rate increases are proposed for the Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities in order to
maintain cash reserves, fund operations, pay for debt service and finance infi-astructure
improvements. Aate for the various utilities are recommended to change as follows for 2017:

introduced the following resolution and
RESOLUTION CONDEMNING VIOLENCE AND HATE SPEECH,
EXPRESSING SOLIDARITY WITH MUSLIMS AND ALL THOSE
TARGETED FOR THEIR ETHNICITY, RACE, OR RELIGION
WHEREAS, the United States was founded by immigrants, many fleeing
religious persecution, who enshrined freedom of religion as one of our nation's fundamental
legal and ethical principles and
WHEREAS, the history of Islam in the United States began even before its
founding when African Muslims were enslaved and brought to the Americas, where they later
helped in numerous ways to build this country, including sacrificing their lives on the line in
every major war from the Revolutionary Waron; and
WHEREAS, there are more than 3 million Muslims living in the United States
today, approximately 7760 Muslims living in Hennepin County according to the Association of
Religion Data Archives (2010) and many Muslims living in the City of Brooklyn Center, making
invaluable contributions to our economy, our social and political life, and our culture; and
WHEREAS, there has been an unprecedented backlash since 9/11 in the form of
hate crimes and employment discrimination toward Arab and Muslim Americans and those
perceived as Muslims; and
WHEREAS, Arab and Muslim Americans, and those perceived as Muslims, are
frequently the targets of abusive and discriminatory police practices sanctioned by the state
including surveillance in their neighborhoods and places of worship; and
WHEREAS, we are saddened and outraged at the recent escalation of hateful
rhetoric against Muslims, those perceived to be Muslims, immigrants, and all people of color,
and we are particularly concerned to see political figures and elected government officials
leading this escalation and using it in order to gain power; and
WHEREAS, in the face of extreme bigotry and violence Muslim communities
and their leaders are using the language and teachings of Islam to promote peace and justice and
service, and their institutions are continuing to play an essential societal role providing charitable
and humanitarian services to those in need; and
WHEREAS, we, as elected representatives of the people, have a special
responsibility not to stay silent in the face of violence and discrimination against any of our
constituents or countrymen.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of

Commits to pursuing a policy agenda that affirms civil and human rights,
and ensures that those targeted on the basis of race, religion, or

and

DATE: December 12, 2016
TO: Curt Boganey, City Mana
FROM: Jesse Anderson, Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards/HRA
Specialist
SUBJECT: CDBG Funding Process
Recommendation:
At a recent budget meeting it was requested that a work session item be added to discuss the
CDBG funding process and guidelines. It is recommended that the City Council consider
providing direction to staff regarding the process for CDBG public service agency application
and consideration.
Background:
CDBG Overview
Funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help
with community development activities that benefit low and moderate income persons. Hennepin
County funding serves suburban cities with the exception of Bloomington, Eden Prairie,
Minnetonka and Plymouth who receive CDBG funds directly from HUD. Brooklyn Center is
considered a Direct Allocation City and is a sub -recipient of the funds through Hennepin County.
Applications for suburban Hennepin County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
are submitted by cities to the County, with the exception of public service agencies seeking
funding to serve the Consolidated Pool.
Activities eligible for funding include
® Preserving and creating multifamily rental housing
® Preserving and creating single-family homeownership
® Supporting agencies that provide public education and outreach services for job training,
homelessness prevention, fair housing, financial literacy, emergency assistance, domestic
abuse shelter and counseling, senior centers, senior services, at -risk youth counseling,
youth activities and transportation services
® Improved community facilities and infrastructure
® Neighborhood revitalization
Brooklyn Center Process
1. December the city will receive information from Hennepin County regarding the
anticipated CDBG funding allocation.
2. 1" Council Meeting in January the City Council Calls for a Public Hearing for the 1"
Council Meeting in February.
3. January applications for Public Service Agencies are advertised on the city website
Mission: Ensuring a: attractive, clean, safe, inclusive community that enhances the quality of life
for all people andpreserves the public trust
4. End of January Application for Public Service Agencies are submitted.
5. 1St Council Meeting in February the public hearing is held for the CDBG funding. At that
time the City Council provides a recommendation to staff.
6. 2nd Council Meeting in February a resolution is presented for Council Consideration.
7. Last Monday if February full allocation documentation required to be submitted to
Hennepin County.
Public Participation
® The City holds a public hearing in February as required by Hennepin County Citizen
. Participation plan.
Hennepin County holds public hearing after the City Council approval and approves the
following years action plan.
Hennepin County also creates a 5 year consolidated plan that includes the County Priority
needs and goals. The 5 year consolidated plan is a process that involves citizen input
through meetings, surveys, and public hearings.
CDBG Statutory and Administrative Requirements
Federal CDBG Statutory Requirements
The federal authorizing statute for the CDBG program requires that each funded CDBG activity
meet one of three national objectives:
1. Benefiting low income persons
2. Preventing or eliminating slums and/or blight
3. Meeting urgent community needs.
The federal law also specifies that each recipient receiving funds must insure at least 70 percent
of the CDBG expenditures during the program year be used for activities benefiting low and/or
very low income persons. Each city must meet this requirement at the local level.
If a city chooses to allocate CDBG funds to eligible public service activities, the amount is
limited to a maximum of 15% of CDBG funding. A city is not obligated to provide any funding
to public service agencies.
Hennepin County Administrative Requirements for Public Service Activities
Pursuant to federal program requirements, each city receiving a CDBG allocation from the
Urban Hennepin County CDBG program is limited to a 15% cap on public service projects if the
city chooses to allocate funds to public service agencies. Other guidance provided by Hennepin
County for the disbursement of CDBG funds follows:
® The City has the flexibility to use up to 15 percent of their CDBG allocation to fund
eligible, priority public services. Any public services not previously funded must be new
Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive eomunrmity that enhances the anality of life
for all people andpreserves the public trust
services or a substantial increase in a service. The CDBG funds are not intended to
replace other funds.
Each Public Service activity should have a budget of at least $7,500. If funds are
committed by other cities to carry out a single activity of mutual interest, this limit may
not apply. CEAP, H.O.M.E. Program (Senior Community Services), Avenues for
Homeless Youth, and HOMELine are considered multi -city activities or county -wide
activities at this time.
® CDBG activities must address a high priority need according to the County's
Consolidated Plan. The current priority needs are:
o Preserve and Create Multifamily Rental Opportunities
o Preserve and Create Single Family Homeownership Opportunities
o Create Housing Opportunities for Homeless Populations
o Promote Education, Outreach, and Services
o Support Neighborhood Revitalization
o Stimulate Economic Development
*Cities funding activities that are not high priorities under the consolidated plan
must explain why the project is needed in their city.
Policy Issues:
Does the City Council prefer to continue with the current process or modify the process?
Should City Staff continue to solicit for public service agencies applications?
What process or policy should we use to select the agencies that receive funding?
Strategic Priorities:
® Resident Economic Stability
® Targeted Redevelopment
• Enhanced Community Image
® Inclusive Community Engagement
® Strengthened and Empowered Youth
Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive conununity that enhances the quality of life
for all people mrd preserves the public trust
The cities that don't
qualify for at least
$85,000 in "direct
allocation" pass-
through fiinding are
instead grouped into
the Consolidated
CDBG Rinds for
projects in those areas
are awarded through
an RFP process
managed by the
Hennepin County.

Work Session Agenda Item No. 2
DATE: December 12, 2016
TO: Curt Boganey, City Mana95?73
FROM: Reggie Edwards, Interim Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Brooklyn Center 2017 City Survey — Topical Focus Areas
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council review the topical areas of focus fiom the 2012 City
Survey and provide direction to staff regarding any new topical areas of focus that may need to
be explored in the 2017 City Survey.
Background:
In November, 2016 the City entered into an agreement with The Morris Leatherman Company to
conduct the 2017 City Survey. The City previously conducted city-wide surveys in the years
2008 and 2012.
The intent of the City is to survey, analyze the results, and address the feedback provided by city
residents on a wide range of community issues (i.e. Quality of Life and Residential
Demographics) and city services (i.e., Economic Redevelopment and Parks and Recreation).
The survey is scheduled to be completed by early March.
The Consultant shall conduct a telephone survey of 400 randomly selected households in the
City. A sample of 400 residents would provide results projectable to the entire city adult
population within ± 5.0 percent in 95 out of 100 cases. The sample is also of sufficient size to
permit the city to be divided into a maximum of four categories for more detailed analysis, such
as age, mobility, home ownership, location of residence, presence of children, and other
demographic characteristics.
The steps in the process moving forward include:
• Review of topical areas by departments
• Identification of any new topical areas
• Review of final topical areas by City Council
• Review of old questions and assessment of questions that may no longer be relevant
• Development of questions for new topical areas if needed
• Finalize survey tool
• Test survey tool
• Conduct survey
• Present findings to City Staff Leadership and Council (early March)
In preparing the survey tool for implementation staff is requesting the Council direction
regarding the need to add any additional major topical areas to the survey for example:
Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clear, safe, inchisive community that enhances the quality of life
for all people and preserves the public trust
® Strengthened and empowered youth
® Inclusive community engagement
® Resident economic stability
Attached for your review are the topical areas explored during our last survey (2012) as prepared
by the Consultant and a copy of the 151 survey questions for that survey.
The 2017 City Survey will focus on much of the same (but, relevant) topical areas as covered in
the previous surveys (2008 and 2012). By consistently reviewing the same topical areas over
time the City may be better able to conduct comparisons with other cities that have utilized this
survey tool, identity trends over time, and make appropriate service adjustments. If there is a
topical area that is no longer relevant then we will stop exploring or surveying that topical area.
Policy Issues:
Staff request that the Council:
1. Review of the topical areas of focus from the 2012 City Survey
2. Provide direction to staff regarding new topical areas of focus that may need to be
explored in the 2017 City Survey
Strategic Priorities:
® Citizen Engagement
