Burns, City Manager �`� � /� John G. Flora,r Public Works Director March 11, 1998 Public Works Goals and Objectives PW98-063 In preparing the 1999 goals and objectives we have identified 21 objectives and a total of 63 activities associated with them. Copy attached. In reviewing these objectives for 1999, there are four major items that I would like to highlight to you and the Council. A. We would propose to initiate a total street upgrade program in the Riverview Terrace area, consisting of the streets north of 79`� Way and west of East River Road. Upgrading these streets would incorporate the redevelopment of the storm system, eliminating outfalls into the Mississippi River and conveying all of the street surface water flows to 79`'' Way. It would also include the construction of a closure capability at Springbrook Creek to provide protection during a flood event of the Mississippi River backing up into the area. During this project we propose to initiate any improvements to the sanitary sewer system that would be required as well as installing concrete curb and gutter throughout the area with new asphalt streets designed to today's criteria. It would be proposed that this project be completed with off-system state aid funds and the assessment of concrete curb and gutter to those abutting properties which do not have any at this time. With the assessment of concrete curb and gutter, consideration should be given to a storm sewer assessment in the project as the majority of this area has not been previously or only minimally assessed for storm water. B. We are proposing a Ground Positioning System (GPS) survey of the City. This involves a motorized survey of the City with cameras, photographing both sides, front and rear of the roadways, tied into satellite positioning to obtain exact locations of features along the route. This system involves new money of approximately $50,000 to complete the survey and initiate a training program for converting the data into our ARC Info GIS system. The net results would be the exact locations of manholes, signs, telephone, light poles as well as structure locations. This information can then be tied into various overlays of right-of-way items as well as Community Development's supporting documentation for special use permits, variances, and Police and Fire property locations. March 12, 1998 Page 2 C. I also propose in 1999 to continue the upgrade and repair of our sanitary sewer lift stations. For 1999 we are looking at the 64�' and Central Avenue lift station and the installation of a SCADA control. This project would extend the life of the lift station, resulting in savings for replacement of the facility as well as providing us the information needed on pumping, times, quantities as well as alarm facilities associated with that operation. D. The fourth major item would be the continued coordination with the MPCA to initiate and obtain the funding for a groundwater cleanup facility for the four wells (6, 7, $ and 9) at fihe Commons Park well field. It is hoped that this year, 1998, the MPCA will obtain the necessary funding to initiate a study and present a solution to the contamination with a remediation plant. Accordingly, we would work with the MPCA to pursue this action and initiate a contract for construction at the Commons Park filter plant location which would not only work to clean up the groundwater contamination but also allow the City to use those wells which are the most productive and economical to service our water production system.

' C � � � � LJ � r � � � � � �� ' MEMOR.ANDUM DE'VELOPMENT DIRECTOR DATE: March 26, 1998 TO: William Bums, Ci Mana er �� tY 9 � FROM: SUBJECT: C� _ • � - Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director 1999 Community Development Department Goals and Objectives By the end of 1999, the following will be accomplished: 1. Redevelopment of the salvage yards (Planning Division Objective No. 3) 2. Improved housing and neighborhood conditions in Hyde Park (Housing Division Objective No. 1) 3. An adopted Comprehensive Plan (Planning Division Objective No. 1) These are the top three objectives that the Department would like to accomplish by the end of next year. Other objectives include: 1. Identification of an apartment rehabilitation policy and program; including rehabilitation of severely debilitated apartment buildings. 2. Phase II multi-story office construction on the Fridley Executive Center Site. 3. An improved Systematic Code Enforcement Program. 4. A determination as to whether the City should continue the operation of the Fridley Recycling Center. • . . - . L � . - t The following activities are now underway to accomplish the top thr�e objectives: Staff is gathering property information for the salvage yards in TIF # 9, monitoring recent code enforcement activities at the salvage yards and now Tam's Rice Bowl, and developing information for the potential pollution clean-up grant application to DTED and Met Council. Staff has also met with one development team from the private sector who specializes in this type of redevelopment. 2. By May 1, staff will prepare a recommendation on a process to resolve issues in the Hyde Park neighborhood. The process will be recommended to the Council prior to holding any type of public participation meetings. The purpose of the meetings/process is to determine what the neighborhood wants to accomplish, address the tensions between single family and multiple family owners, and to revisit a redevelopment plan for the Frank's Used Car Site and surrounding properties. It is also hoped that additional feedback can be gained to make the HRA's housing rehab programs more effective—or if there are other opportunities for redevelopment in the neighborhood. This will also include working on a policy for assisting apartment owners with rehabilitation programs. 3. A draft outline of the scope of work for the Comprehensive Plan has been completed. It is recommended that a consultant be hired to assist staff with completion of the Comprehensive Plan. The recommended planning process and consultant approach will be presented to the Council on April 20, 1998. ..- �l. .� Because of the volume of work required for completion of these objectives, consultant help is badly needed. Consultant work is recommended for both the Comprehensive Plan and Hyde Park (potentially the same consultant). The cost to complete the Comprehensive Plan can be spread over time via a 0% loan from the Metropolitan Council. Estimates for the cost of the plan are now being obtained. The 1999 Budget would also contain printing costs for the plan. Funding for the salvage yard and Hyde Park objectives will be considered by the HRA. Also contained in the DepartmenYs objectives are several activities regarding initiating optical imaging of commercial, industrial, and residential plans, address files and land use development application files. Part-time help will be requested to assist staff to sort these files and scan them into the optical imaging system (this request was prepared for the 1998 budget but was ultimately cut due to other priorities). Also requested will be. part-time help to input data from the Housing Program, Code Enforcement Program, and building permits into the GIS System, so that up-to-date information is available for the comprehensive plan analysis or other services that the City Council desires. � , � � CJ ' C C� ' , , , ' � J ,� L� ' , (JoAnn Vaughn from Public Works has been doing this as time and funds permit). It is also proposed that code enforcement tracking software and building permit tracking ' software be purchased to be compatible with the GIS System (evaluation underway). ' �J � ' It will also be proposed that a nine-month, part-time intem be shared between the Housing Division and the Planning Division. The intem, during the first four months of the internship, would be primarily responsible for coordinating the Remodeling Fair under the Housing Coordinator's direction. This occupies a significant amount of time, and the procedures for the fair are such that they can now be handled by another individual. During the last five months of the intemship, the intern would be responsible for assisting the Planning Division with the Systematic Code Inspection Program. Should you need further information about these objectives or other objectives, please feel free to contact me.

Burns, City Manager �� DATE: SUBJECT: March 27, 1998 CounciUCommissions Survey Results William W. Burns City Manager Attached is a copy of the counciUcommissions survey and the survey results for your consideration at Monday night's conference meeting. As we discuss the 1999 goals and objectives, I will ask each department manager to indicate as part of their presentation how they addressed the counciUcommissions survey. Thank you for your consideration of these materials. WWB:rsc Attachment . t � 1998 CITY COUNCIL/COMMISSIONS SURVEY POLICE DEPARTMENT: 1. Communitv Oriented Policing: Neighborhood or community oriented policing in its ideal form involves o�cers who are fully devoted to working with residents in a particulaz neighborhood. While Fridley has 10 officers who are assigned to work with neighborhoods, they spend less than 5 percent of their time performing community policing activities. What do you think? Should we be doing more? Please look at each of the statements below and put a check mark by the one that best represents your point of view. A. I am generally satisfied with our community oriented policing effort; however, I would like to see our o�cers spend at least one-fourth of their time working with specific neighborhoods (this might entail additional officers). - B. I would like to see our officers spend about one-half of their on-duty time doing community oriented policing (this probably would entail additional officers). C. I would like to see us move toward having one NRO assigned to a neighborhood/district without any call responsibilities except in emergencies (this would require additional officers). _ D. I think we should do what we can to provide additional police officer time in working with neighborhoods; however, I do not believe that we should hire additional police officers to facilitate this effort. E. Other (please specify): 2. Project Safetv Net: Our Recreation and Police Departments currently operate a nuxnber of youth programs under the umbrella name of Project Safety Net. While we budget $50,000 in local money and receive another $38,000 from the cities of Blaine, Columbia Heights and Coon Rapids, the bulk of the funding ($186,000) comes from grant funding that is due to run out at the end of this year. While we are applying for additional grant money, we regard our chances as 50/50 at best. Moreover, the amount of potential grant funding is much less than we are receiving currently. With these set of circumstances in mind, please identify which of the following alternatives best represents your point of view. A. Modify Project Safety Net programming to reflect any lost grant funding. B. Prioritize Project Safety Net programming. Seek support of other cities and use local funds to replace about one-half of the grant funding reduction. � J C. Do what is necessary, including the levying of additional taxes to maintain existing Project Safety Net programs that cannot be accommodated through budget cuts. D. Other (please specify): 3. Police Sta�nQ: Our Public Safety Director indicates that a good case can be made for adding two additional police officers. There is still Federal "COPS" money available that provides up to 75 percent of an officer's salary over three years. He also points out that the officers would give us additional ability to address vehicle thefts and special problems identified by our NROs. Which of the following comments best reflects your feelings about this request? A. Public safety is a top priority for the City. We should fund both positions, even if it means raising additional taxes. � B. While I believe that hiring two additional officers would improve our ability to address special problems and problem areas, I would not commit to additional taxes to pay for them. C. I believe that there are several other competing priorities that should be considered before I would commit to hiring more police o�cers. D. While the grant money is attractive for the short-term, I am not willing at this time to commit to long-term funding of additional police officers. E. Other (please specify): FIRE DEPARTMENT: 4. Rental Inspection Program: We have been operating the rental inspection program since January of 1995. To date, we have inspected 2,477 units, or an average of 826 units per year. The cost of the program since its inception has been $279,448, or about $93,149 per year. These costs are partially offset by revenues of $132,715, or $44,238 per year. Based on this quick overview, which of the following changes do you like? A. We should gradually raise our rental licensing fees (over a period of five years) to cover the cost of the program. B. We should maintain existing fees for an initial inspection and increase fees for reinspections. 2 C. We should maintain rental licensing fees as they are. D. Other (please specify): 5. Fire Training Center: As we near the completion of the fire training center, we envision the need to replace the e�cisting portable building with more permanent classroom space. We also see a need for additional storage facilities. If these facilities can be paid for from revenues generated by expanding the center's use by both government and private sector participants, should the City and its partners proceed to plan additional site improvements? Yes No 6. Fire Suppression: In order to strengthen and maintain our City's Class 3, ISO fire rating, it is important that we follow through with the implementation of our fire equipment replacement plan. In effect, this means spending approximately $300,000 for a new fire engine in 1999, and $600,000 for a new ladder truck in 2004. The alternative is to allow the rating to drop and to pass the cost on to property owners through higher fire insurance rates. Which of the following statements best reflects your feelings about this issue? A. I agree that we should stick with a long-term plan to purchase equipment needed to maintain our Class 3 fire rating. B. I believe that we should replace existing fire equipment only as it wears out. If this policy causes us to lose our Class 3 rating, so be it. C. I tend to favor the upgrading of equipment in a manner that preserves and strengthens our Class 3 fire rating; however, I do believe that this choice should be made annually as we weigh this priority against other City priorities. D. Other (please specify): 7. Fire Cadet Program: We currently do not have a fire explorer or cadet program, that would attract young citizens who would serve in a station support capacity and participate in public education and fire prevention activities for the Fridley Fire Department. Assuming that this program would generate minimal or no new expenditures, should the Fire Department establish this program? Yes No 8. FirefiQhters: Last yeaz, we pointed out that we have been experiencing a shortage of firefighters during weekday hours. Since that time, we have been working with the Columbia Heights Fire Department to implement an expanded automatic response program. Do you have any concerns regazding this movement by Fridley with Columbia Heights toward joint operations planning? Yes No 9. Should we be planning the siting of future fire stations with neighboring cities, such as Columbia Heights and New Brighton? Yes No 10. Response Time: Citizen feedback to the Fire Department focuses on two criteria: how quickly the Fire Department arrives on the scene, and how professionally the incident is managed. Currently, the Fire Department has an average response time of 3 to 4 minutes for fire emergencies and 3 minutes for medical emergencies. Response times, however, vary depending upon the location of the response and other circumstances. In the Innsbruck area, the response time may be as long as 8 to 10 minutes. In other azeas of the community that are closer to fire stations, the response time is 2 minutes. What importance does Council place on the Fire Department's current response time situation? A. It is of great importance. Efforts should be made to improve current response times. B. It is very important. We are, however, satisfied with the current average response time. RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT: 11. Parks Service Areas: In 1997, we completed a very elaborate parks service area study that identifies those groups and areas that are under served in terms of access to City parks. In order to address this issue, we have identified the following options. Please look at each of the options below and let us know how you feel about the option by ranking it on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being most preferred and 1 being least preferred. A. Buy property in under served areas now to create appropriate park facilities (may require condemnation of homeowner's property). B. Improve bikeways/walkways to provide better access to park facilities nearby or in other park service azeas. C. Buy property in the under served areas in the future (as it becomes available on the market) and create park facilities. D. Tolerate the existing problem and accept that some areas will remain under served. E. Other (please specify): 4 w 12. Parks and Recreation Improvements: In view of our limited financial resources, it would seem that we should prioritize future Parks and Recreation improvements. With this in mind, please use a scale of 1 to 5 to indicate the degree of importance that you attach to each of the following alternatives. If you attach high importance to the alternative, place a 5 in the space provided. If you attach no importance to the alternative, place a 1 in the space provided. If your sense of importance is somewhere between none and great, place a 3 or 4 in the space provided. A. Upgrade and redevelop our existing facilities in the pazk system (including replacement of outdated children's play equipment). B. Purchase additional land to expand the parks and open space areas (e.g., additional property at Moore Lake Park, and additions to the size of the smaller, mini parks). C. Build new facilities in the park system (i.e., more permanent park activity buildings, wazming houses, and picnic shelters). � D. Use our financial resources toward building community center facilities (i.e., additional improvements to the Community Center project). 13. Communitv Center Facilities: We have recently participated in the construction of the Fridley Community Center, a gymnasium at Hayes Elementary School, and are working on completing the lower level of the Community Center. What other indoor recreation facilities, if any, do you envision for the City of Fridley? Please indicate your sense of priority for the following items by using a rating scale of 1 to 5. If you feel the item is a very high priority, give it a rating of 5. If it is a low priority, give it a 1. Within the next two to four years, the City should: A. Complete the Fridley Community Center (including the lower level), but construct no more community center facilities. B. Add a double gymnasium to the Community Center project. C. Add a family-oriented swimming facility. D. Add a therapeutic swimming pool (to be used for senior water aerobics, arthritis classes, etc.). E. Add an indoor. children's playground facility (similar to the one at the New Brighton Family Service Center). F. Add an exercise/fitness area to the Community Center (to include weights, stationary bikes, treadmills, etc.). G. Other facilities you would like to see: F� 14. Springbrook Nature Center Programs and Services: With the recent reduction of full-time staff and hours of operation at Springbrook Nature Center, there has been a corresponding reduction in some programs and services. In order to provide quality services in the future, we need to focus efforts on the most important programs and services for our residents. Please examine the following list of Naturalist Division programs and service options. How would you rate the importance of each option to Fridley residents on a scale of 1 to 5. If you feel the option is a very high priority, give it a rating of 5. If it is not important and not needed, give it a 1. A. Maintain the 127-acre Springbrook Nature Center trails and facilities for community use, education classes, and fitness activities (includes boardwalks, overlooks, trails, and the interpretive building). B. Manage the animal and plant populations at Springbrook (i.e., management of population, wetlands management, maintaining native prairies and forests). C. Provide volunteer coordination of youth and adults to accomplish Nature Center maintenance and programming activities. D. Serve as an information resource for questions from the public on nature, plants, animals, etc. E. Provide nature interpretation / outdoor education classes / activities for. community groups and the general public. F. Coordinate environmental study projects in areas such as water quality, animal population management, plant species management, etc. G. Provide specialized camp programs such as the summer day nature camp, the winter adventure camp, and school vacation days mini-camps, etc. H. Conduct special events such as the Halloween Special, Winter Carnival, Volksmarch, and Spring Celebration. I. Serve as a speaker/leader for nature programs presented to scout groups, clubs, businesses, etc. J. Provide self-guided programming (i.e., nature walks using audio tapes and/or brochures). K. Provide environmental education curriculum for elementary and middle school classes in the city. L. Maintain and update the interpretive building exhibits (including live animals) for walk-in visitors. � 15. Skateboardlln-Line Skating Facilitv: Ordinance 513 of the Fridley City Code prohibits skateboarders and in-line skaters from using our public facilities such as the tennis courts, parking lots, and the Municipal Center plaza and ramp. With the growing popularity of skateboarding and in-line skating, there has been an increase in requests for appropriate facilities. How should the City respond to these requests? Please indicate your sense of importance to each of the following statements by using a rating scale of 1 to 5. If you feel the option is a very high priority, give it a rating of 5. If it is a very low priority, give it a 1. A. Continue our current approach and prohibit these activities on public property. Limit skateboarding and in-line skating to paths, sidewalks, streets, and private property with the owner's permission. B. Build a skateboazd/in-line skate park facility complete with ramps, jumps and an in-line hockey rink. C. Change our current approach and allow skaters on certain designated courts (tennis and basketball) in various locations throughout the City. 16. West Moore Lake Park: The West Moore Lake Park (Sand Dunes Natural History Area) is a 7.6 acre park on the westem shore of Moore Lake, immediately across the street from the Fridley Middle School and Fridley High School. The park is one of the last areas in Fridley that shows how the Anoka Sand Plain looked before development. The wooden boazdwalk system in the park has been in place for many years, and is going to need replacement soon. There have been some recent suggestions that the use of the park could be changed. Please check the option below that you favor for West Moore Lake Park. The City should: A. Continue to support this area as a natural, sand dunes park and replace the aging boardwalk system. B. Convert the park to a more traditional waterfront park, complete with grass turf, more shade trees, a canoe launch, and picnic facilities. C. Other suggested use: 17. Additional Senior Programs and Hours o�Operation: The majority of programs for senior citizens are run between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Few programs are offered in the evening hours, and the Community Center is generally closed on Sundays and holidays. If the participants are interested in additional program opportunities, should the City expand the current program schedule to include evening, weekend and holiday hours? Additional programs and hours of operation will likely result in higher building supervision and program leadership costs (estimated between $7,000 to $10,000 annually to open five hours on Sundays and holidays). Please check the alternative below which best reflects your preference: A. Continue the current level of programming and hours of operation. Do not start new programs or expand hours if it will increase our expenditures. B. Continue the current hours of Community Center operation unless additional hours can be supported by fees and/or volunteer services. 7 C. Limit program expansion to occasional special programs on Sundays and holidays, and minimize additional costs. D. Expand the program opportunities and hours of operation to meet the interest level shown by the seniors. Additional dollars should be allocated to the budget to cover increased costs. E. Other (please specify): 18. Provision of Recreation Programs for Older Youth: Although the 1997 citizen survey results were generally very positive, there was a noticeable drop in levels of satisfaction with the variety of recreational programs. This dissatisfaction seems to be centered among those respondents with older children. In view of this drop in satisfaction, what should we do? Please rate each of the following options using a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the higliest level of support for the option. A. Conduct focus group meetings and do additional surveying to determine the reasons for dissatisfaction as well as the best ways to address the dissatisfaction. B. Evaluate our current mix of program options. Determine whether it is desirable to realign program offerings in a manner that provides more programming for older youth, presumably at the expense of younger youth, adults and senior adults. C: In addition to offering more opportunities for drop-in activities, once the lower level of the Fridley Community Center is completed plan additional activities for older youth at this new facility. D. Provide additional gymnasium time and supervision for a variety of intramural sports programs for high-school aged youth. E. Other (please specify): 19. Fee Adjustment/Fee Waiver Program: For many years now, the Recreation and Natural Resource Department has offered a fee adjustmentlfee waiver program to registrants unable to pay the activity fee for in-house programs and classes. The value of these fee waivers has risen from $1,000 six years ago to about $5,000 in 1997. The current policy applies to Fridley residents only and allows waivers for selected activities (trips and activities requiring the City to purchase tickets are excluded). There are also no limits on the number of activities or a dollar value of fees waived. Moreover, applicants are not required to document their need for assistance. Should the same policy continue or should there be revisions? Please indicate your point of view by checking either A or B for each of the following: Selected Activities: A. Continue to limit the fee waiver/fee adjustment program to selected activities. B. Open the program to all activities offered by the department. 8 Annual Waiver Limit: A. Continue the program without an annual limit for participants. B. Set a m�imum limit on the number of activities or maximum dollar allowance for individuals or families. Proof of Eligibility: A. Continue the current honor system policy to apply for assistance. B. Require program applicants to provide proof of financial need to qualify. Residency Requirement: A. Continue the current policy to service Fridley residents only. B. Allow non-residents to register using the waiver/adjustment program when there are openings in the activities. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT: 20. Streets: We have been upgrading the asphalt bermed streets since 1991. Although we have made a lot of progress on the upgrades, approximately 42 percent of the remaining streets are 30 yeazs old. Assuming that we are going to continue our annual street reconstruction program, it would be helpful to clarify criteria that should be used in selecting streets that aze to be upgraded. Please consider each of the following alternatives and check the alternative that most appeals to you. A. Use our street inventory system to upgrade the streets with the lowest scores in the inventory, regardless of their location. B. Upgrade City streets by geographic area, attempting to work on the lowest scored areas first. (This concentrates the work in the general geographic area and should reduce the overall construction costs, inconvenience, and time for completion.) C. Upgrade streets by ward. This would force work in each ward once every four yeazs. D. Initiate an upgrade program which includes streets in all wards each year. E. Upgrade streets in areas that have been identified as target areas for our housing rehabilitation program. F. Other (please specify): � ,� 21. Road Signs: We periodically receive requests from residents for various traffic control signs. Currently, when the request is received by the Engineering staff, a needs assessment is coordinated with the Police and Fire Departments, and a recommendation is prepared for Council's consideration. While the current process seems to work, there are other options that could be adopted. Which of the following options do you like best? A. Install signs as requested, after conducting a neighborhood survey. B. Develop a sign policy for various types of signs and criteria for installation that are approved by Council. Staff will install signs according to the adopted policy. C. Send sign requests through a formal Council and commission process. D. Bring all sign requests directly to Council without a recommendation from staff. E. Continue our current sign policy in which sign requests are reviewed and brought to Council with stafPs recommendation. F. Other (please specify): 22. Municipal Garage: In 1995, a consultant was retained to evaluate the municipal gazage. The study identified code compliance items that would cost an estimated $460,000. The total cost for various remodeling and construction options ranged between $1:1 million to $4.6 million.: In view of these findings, which of the following options is most attractive to you? A. Address code-related items only; do only those that are required on the existing structure. B. Address code-related items and other improvements to the maintenance facility that will provide more space for working on lazge equipment. - C. Address truck and equipment parking issues in addition to code requirements and maintenance facility improvements. D. Address other non-code shortcomings of employee facilities including those related to the locker room, the lunchroom and the restroom facilities, in addition to those items mentioned in A through C above. E. Do nothing. F. Other (please specify): [�i� 23. Snowbirds: Every year, we receive numerous complaints and suffer wasted man hours while plowing City streets because of snowbirds. Our current policy states that vehicles are not to be parked on the street between November 1 and May 1 while snow removal operations aze in progress. This is confusing in that many times it is not snowing when the residents park their cars on the street. In an attempt to simplify the City's street parking policy during the winter months, which of the following alternatives would you support? A. Establish an outright ban on parking on City streets during the period November 1 through April 15. B. Prohibit pazking on City streets when two or more inches of snow is expected or has accumulated on City streets, until the snow has been removed curb to curb. C. Maintain existing policy. D. Other (please specify): : 24. Street Lights: The City continues to receive complaints regarding our street lighting policy. Residents indicate that when the street is dark, it becomes a safety issue and increases crimes in neighborhoods. Our current policy calls for lights at intersections, curves, tops of hills, or mid-block lights for streets in excess of 1,300 feet. If a new street light policy were adopted, which change would you support? A. Install mid-block street lights on all streets. B. Install quarter-block lights on all streets. C. Maintain existing policy. D. Other (please specify): 25. If an option to change the street light policy is supported, which funding mechanism would you prefer: A. Use utility franchise fees. B. Assess the cost to the benefiting azeas. C. Use the general fund. D. Use a mix of two or more of the above sources. E. Other (please specify): 11 26. If an option to change the street light policy is made, which method of implementatiori would yousupport? A. Install street lights in conjunction with the street upgrade program. B. Respond to neighborhood petitions. C. Use precinct and wazd boundaries to establish an area sequence. D. Do the entire City as one project. E. Other (please specify): 27. Ice Control: Historically we have used a six to one sand/salt mixture on City intersections, curbs, and hills. In recent years, however, we have changed to a pure salt mixture in the area between University Avenue and Highway 65, north of Mississippi Street. While the sand/salt mixture costs $10 per ton, the pure salt costs $28 per ton. Salt does not need to be cleaned up in the spring or removed from our store cellars. Pure salt is also much more effective at melting snow and ice at temperatures above 25 degrees. On the negative side, pure salt is more corrosive to automobiles. There would be a need to construct a new salt storage facility if we decided use the pure salt option. Based upon the above assumptions, which of the following options do you like best: A. Expand our use of salt to all areas of the City, temperature permitting. B. Restrict the use of pure salt to the areas between University Avenue and Highway 65 north of Mississippi Street. C. Discontinue to use pure salt and revert to the use of the sand/salt mixture: D. Discontinue the use of salt and explore the use of other improved ice control methods. E. Other (please specify): 12 28. Maintenance Personnel: While the survey results with respect to the various services performed by the Public Works Department remained very positive, we do receive complaints from time to time, about weeds along public rights of way and the lack of maintenance along City bicycle paths. As we have added bicycle paths and pazks, we have added other duties to those already being performed by Public Works employees. There is the perception, at least by the Public Works employees, that additional help is needed. Assuming that we are stretching the current manpower in the Public Works Department as far as it will go, which of the following options appeazs most attractive to you? A. Hire additional maintenance help on an as-needed basis through contract services. B. Hire at least two full-time Public Works employees to fill those positions left vacant in recent years. C. Hire one additional full-time employee and as many part-time employees as that additional person can supervise. D. Maintain the status quo, E. Other (please specify): 29. Monthlv Pickun of Brush and Tree Limbs: Our 1997 citizen survey told us that 70 percent of the respondents favored a monthly pickup of brush and tree limbs. Forty-one percent of the respondents are willing to pay additional property taxes to fund the service. What do you think? Which of the following alternatives best reflect your point of view? A. In view of the strong support for monthly brush and tree limb pickup, the City should begin this service, even if it means levying higher property taxes to pay for it. B. We should begin the monthly pickup of brush and tree limbs if it can be funded through cost savings to other areas. C. I favor monthly pickup of brush and tree limbs if at least one-half�the cost could be covered by cost savings in other areas. D. I would like to restrict our brush and tree limb pickup to those occasions when we have heavy storm damage. E. Other (please specify): 13 30. Recvcling Center: The City took over operation of the Recycling Center on January 1, 1997. The site has operated at a deficit (even under private ownership); but, the City has changed contractors, made several site improvements, and improved customer service since taking over operation of the site. Financial projections show that the City's net costs will only be $11,000 in 1998 versus $21,500 in 1997. The SWAP fee was increased this past year to help cover expenses. Staff is continuing to evaluate ways to improve the financial operation of the center without reducing service; however, service cuts may have to be implemented to keep costs down. We are also talking to County officials about a financial contribution from the County. Please rate each of the options below by assigning points on a scale of 1 to 5; with 5 being the most preferred option and 1 being the least preferred option. Remember that 50 percent of the site's users are from Fridley and the other 50 percent from other parts of the north metro. A. Maintain existing levels of service as long as those levels can be � provided without significantly increasing our operating deficit or requiring a SWAP fee increase. B. Eliminate those services that are not self-supporting. This would leave us with aluminum can redemption, scrap metal, florescent lamps, and appliance collection. _ C. Maintain existing levels of services only if the County is willing to reimburse use for a significant portion of our deficit (say $10,000 per year). D. Close the site. The City will lose the tonnage and possible bonus payment, but will not lose any SCORE funding from the County. The Recycling Coordinator can spend more time assisting the Nature Center staff, and provide additional backup services for housing programs and code enforcement. E. Seek County operation of a county-wide problem waste facility, even if it means increases in County property taxes. F. Other (please specify): 31. Yard Waste Site: Our 1997 citizen survey revealed that 80 percent of the respondents felt that our yard waste site is very important or somewhat important to them. At the same time, only 22 percent of the respondents reported using the yazd waste site. In view of this response and in view of strong citizen support for monthly pickup of tree branches, would we be better off spending the $7,000 annual cost for the yard waste site on the pickup of tree branches? Yes No 14 32. Redevelopment Priorities: Forty-two percent of our citizen survey respondents considered blighted commercial and industrial properties to be a major redevelopment priority. Thirty- three percent felt that the elimination of junk yazds was a major redevelopment priority. Thirty percent identified rehabilitation of single family homes as a major priority. Twenty- eight percent felt that rehabilitation of apartment stock was a major priority. There are several interesting aspects of these results. The first is that our citizens do not seem to e�ibit a strong sense of urgency. about any redevelopment priority. The second point of interest is that the respondents' preferences are much different from the program priorities we have been addressing. Most of our money has gone into the rehabilitation of single family homes. Very little money has been spent on the upgrading of blighted commercial and industrial property in recent yeazs. In view of these results, what do you think we should do? A. We should continue to place our main redevelopment emphasis on residential rather than commerciaUindustrial properties. B. We should address commerciaUindustrial properties that are adjacent to residential redevelopment tazget azeas. Other than that, I would not reorder our redevelopment priorities. C. We should do an assessment of commerciaUindustrial redevelopment needs and evaluate the impact of our residential rehabilitation efforts. Then, decide whether to reallocate funds for commerciaUindustrial redevelopment. D. Studies and assessments take time and detract from getting other things done. What we really should do is establish a revolving loan fund for commerciaUindustrial properties. E. Other (please specify): MISCELLANEOUS: 33. Comp[aint Tracking: Our 1997 citizen survey indicates that 65 percent� of the respondents believe that the City responds promptly to citizen complaints and inquiries. Only 5 percent felt that we did not respond promptly. The remainder apparently had not contacted the City and did not know. Additionally, City employees are given very high ratings for courtesy, listening, understanding, and effectiveness. At the same time, Council members do experience some frustration in keeping track of requests that they get and forward to the City Manager. Many requests involve the Court system, the County, the school districts and a host of outside factors over which we have little control. As a result, due to the ongoing nature of these requests, information feedback to Council members is sometimes slow and the loop in these cases does not always close. 15 � Currently, we are investigating the potential use of complaint tracking software and its impact on staff resources. We are also evaluating the cost of the softwaze and software support. At this point, we estimate that the software will cost between $1,500 and $2,000 per computer. Additionally, we can estimate that the notebook computers that Council members would use to access the complaint tracking system would cost about $2,500 each. If we assume that we would equip between 40 and 50 computers with software that would cost $1,500 per computer and add in the cost of notebook computers for Council members, the cost for the complaint tracking system would range between $72,500 and $87,500. This number does not include annual support and maintenance costs. What do you think? Which of the following alternatives do you like? A. It is very important that Council members have a tool that will allow them to have direct access to complaint handling files. I would make this a high priority for acquisition in 1998. B. The complaint tracking system along with the staff dedication to supporting the system would give Council members a valuable tool for communicating with citizens. The cost, however, should be compared with the cost of other priorities as part of the 1998 budget discussions. C. The cost of the complaint tracking software, including the cost of staff resources, is high relative to the benefits received. Based on what I know now, I do not favor purchasing complaint tracking softwaze. D. Other (please specify): 34. Political Ej'�cacv: Our 1997 survey reveals that people's sense of "political efficacy" or their feelings about their ability to have a meaningful voice in City government has declined since 1995. While 50 percent of the respondents said that they can have a say about the way City officials are running things, 31 percent said that they did not feel that they have an affect on the way City officials are running things. Our consultant tells us that this erosion of "political e�cacy" is principally among older residents (+55). What do you think we should do about this? Please check the alternative that makes the most sense to you. . A. Develop focus groups that include representatives from the over 55 age group. Attempt, through the focus group process, to better understand the reasons for their feelings, as well as ways in which their sense of efficacy might be improved. B. Conduct further telephone surveys among representatives of this age group that would focus on understanding the source of these feelings, as well as steps that � might be taken to improve their sense of political efficacy. [L' � C. Use both focus groups and telephone surveys to better understand the reasons for declining political e�cacy and the steps that might be taken to improve it. D. Assume that this declining sense of political effectiveness is beyond the City's control. Focus on doing a good job with the many issues that are already on our plates. E. Other (please specify): 35. Si�e of Refuse Containers: Our 1997 survey asked residents whether or not the City should allow garbage containers that are larger than 32 gallons. While 37 percent of our sample think larger containers should be permitted, 26 percent think we should continue to limit the size of garbage containers to 32 gallons. Another 38 percent either do not care or do not know. What do you think? Please check the alternative that most appeals to you. A. I believe we should raise the limits in a manner that would allow the 90 gallon containers that aze currently being used by a number of garbage haulers. B. I would prefer to maintain the existing 32-gallon .limit on the size of gazbage containers. C. It makes no difference to me. 36. Placement of Garbage Containers: Our 1997 citizen survey also revealed that 48 percent of the respondents favored an ordinance change that would allow garbage pickup at the curb. Only 21 percent of the respondents prefer the existing system that limits the placement of containers within 3 feet of the garage. What do you think? Should we allow the curbside placement of containers? Yes No Undecided 37. Commemorative Memorial: Our 1997 survey also told us that 57 percent of our residents do not favor building a commemorative memorial. Among the 22 percent who feel we should build a commemorative memorial, there is no strong agreement on a site. What do you think? In view of the survey, should we abandon plans for building a commemorative memorial for persons who have made outstanding contributions to Fridley? Yes No 17 � 38. ImaQe Enhancements: Our 1997 survey results indicate that 57 percent of Fridley residents believe that Fridley does not have an image problem. Among the 33 percent who did perceive an image problem, there was no strong agreement on solutions to that problem. There was, however, moderate consensus that the City should rededicate funding for mowing our major north-south corridors and develop a comprehensive beautification plan for these corridors. What do you think we should do? A. We should finish our planned work in Hyde Park and Riverview Heights before we launch another program. B. We should at least return to mowing the University Avenue right-of-way and consider having a consultant do a beautification plan for our north-south corridors. C. We should redirect some of our 1998 HRA budget toward the development of a corridor beautification plan for University Avenue. We should also use fund balances to renew the mowing of the University Avenue right-of-way in 1998. D. We should move on as fast a track as possible to plan and implement a corridor beautification plan for all three north-south corridors. E. Other (please specify): 39. Revenue to Support Services: There are limited means of raising revenue to support our new Community Center and other new services that we may choose to provide Fridley residents. Which of the following statements regarding the raising of revenue do you most agree with? Please rate each alternative on a scale of 1 through 5, with 5 being the most attractive. A. We should raise additional revenue by selling services to other cities or to the private sector. B. We should impose utility franchise fees if that can be done in collaboration with other cities. C. We should impose utility franchise fees whether or not it can be done in collaboration with other cities. D. We should raise the property tax levy to cover the additional cost of the Community Center and other new services that we may choose to provide. E. We should seek State funding for our housing rehabilitation programs. F. We should seek to improve liquor profits as a service of new operating revenue. G. Other (please specify): 18 40. Fund Balances: At the end of last year, we were estimating that the City had $24 million in discretionary fund balances that could, if necessary be used to fund City operations. Over the last few yeazs, there has been considerable discussion of proposed uses of fund balances. As a practical matter, we have been using $400,000 to $700,000 in fund balances each year to support our General Fund operations in each of the last four years. As we approach the future, what policy(s) do you feel should be used to govern the expenditure of fund balances? Once again, use a scale of 1 through 5, with 5 being the most attractive, to evaluate each of the following statements: A. We should do whatever is necessary to avoid using fund balances to support current year obligations. We should either raise new revenues or cut expenditures to pay for current year operations out of current year revenue. B. We should avoid drawing down the fund balance principal, but be willing to use interest growth in excess of the rate of inflation to help support the General Fund. C. We should use whatever amount of fund balances that are necessary to support the General Fund and avoid raising local property taxes. D. We should purposefully draw down fund balances to support the General Fund or to fund new projects and new services that are needed for Fridley residents. The money has been saved for a rainy day, and, the rainy day is here. E. Other (please specify): 41. Te[ecommunications: For more than a year, we have been using our money and staff resources to study alternatives for regulating the growth of PCS telecommunication facilities in Fridley. One option is to limit our involvement to more traditional land use regulation. The other option is to establish a telecommunications utility or co-op that would buy land, poles, and antennas and then lease them to the telecommunications industry. In order to study these options, we have hired a technical consultant and spent considerable money for legal review of the consultant's concepts. While we initially focused on the identification of off-the-road sites for tall telecommunication monopoles, it now seems likely that shorter antennas may be attached to poles in the public rights-of-way. If this is the case, we could lease our rights-of-way and/or poles to PCS providers. At this point, however, much work remains to be done to study the feasibility of this option. It is also unclear, at this point, what revenue, if any, the City might generate from this approach. What is also troublesome is that getting these answers will take several more months and will likely require more attorney's fees. Given this set of circumstances, which of the following alternatives do you prefer? A. Although the costs are high, the long-term benefits from this analysis aze worth it. We should continue to spend what we need to spend and take the time we need to conclude our investigation of telecommunications utility options. [L� F3 B. I am inclined to see our telecommunications analysis through to completion; however, I also believe that we need to bring it to a conclusion within the next four months (by June 1), If additional money is needed for legal evaluation, I would be willing to consider spending a reasonable amount. C. At this point, I would be willing to spend another two months and another $10,000 on legal analysis. I would not, however, go beyond this commitment of resources. The staff time and money involved are detracting from other priorities. D. Enough is enough. Let's pull back to the traditional regulatory role immediately. The risks involved in pursuing the telecommunications utility/co-op option are too high and the benefits aze too uncertain. 42. Overall Priorities: It would appear that Council can expect larger than usual requests for the expenditure of new money in the 1998 budgeting process. Up to this point in the survey, you have been evaluating these requests in piecemeal fashion. Now, if you will, please take a look at these competing requests as a group and use a scale of 1 to 5 as you prioritize them. As in previous questions, 5 represents the highest priority. A. Replacement of a fire engine in 1999. B. Municipal garage improvements. C. Street lighting improvements. D. Addition of two Public Works employees for street and pazks maintenance. E. Construction of a skateboazd/inline skate facility. F. Weekend and holiday hours of operation for the Fridley Community Center. G. Purchase and implementation of complaint tracking software and related hardware. H. Establishment of a monthly program for pickup of brush and tree limbs. I. Replacement of grant funding for Project Safety Net. J. Addition of two police officers. _. K. Resume mowing the University Avenue corridor. L. Use of a consultant to develop a beautification plan for the University Avenue corridar. M. Other (please specify): Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. WWB:rsc 2/04/98 2� � •'y r PRESENTATION SURVEYRESULTS I. The Sample: A. All five members of the City Council—by number rather than initials. I can identify names that go with the members if you wish. B. Surveys were received from 26 of 47 commission members. II. Use of Results: A. Results have been made available to department managers for consideration in preparing their 1999 goals and objectives. B. Survey results will also be used as background information for budget work sessions in June and for Council conference sessions on specific issues. C. Results will also be made available to commission members for consideration in their discussions. .$. � ,• III. The Results--Areas of Greatest Agreement: A. I have identified those areas where 4 or more Council members (80%) or where 21 of the 26 (80%) respondents from the commissions agreed on survey choices. B. Council: Four or more Council members agreed on responses seven times. These areas of agreement were for questions 8, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25 and 32. - l. In response to question 8, four of you agreed that you were very comfortable with continued joint fire operations planning with Columbia Heights. 2. In response to question 19, four of you agreed that we should continue our honor system regarding proof of eligibility for recreation program fee waivers. You also indicated that you would restrict fee waivers to Fridley residents. 3. On question 20, four or you agreed that we should upgrade streets by geographic area. Among the four, two of you also mentioned other choices as equally desirable. � .� 0 4. In response to question 23, four of you said that we should change our snowbird policy to prohibit parking on City streets when two or more inches of snow are expected or have accumulated on City streets. Two of you did qualify your answers. 5. In response to question 24, four of you opted to maintain our existing street lighting policy. 6. However, in response to question 25, all of you favored a mix of funding mechanisms to support additional street lighting should we head in that direction. � 7. Finally on question 32, all of you feel that we should carefully assess commercial/industrial redevelopment needs as well as the impacts of our housing redevelopment programs before redirecting our redevelopment money toward commerciaUindustrial property. Four of you were equally satisfied with other choices, however, and did qualify your responses. 3 4 C. Commissions: Twenty-one of the 26 commission members agreed on the same response 6 times. Their greatest agreement was for questions 5, 7, 8, 9, 16 and 19. l. Only on question 8 did Council and the commission members agree strongly on the same thing. In this case 24 of the 26 commission respondents felt comfortable with the Fire Department's j oint operations plaruling � with Columbia Heights. 2.

This area is defined as those survey questions where three Council members and 14 of the 26 commission members agreed on the same response. B. Council: This happened 14 times with respect to Council (questions 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 19, 2�9, 31, 35, 36, and 41). 1. In response to question 2, three of you agreed that we should seek support of other cities and use local funding to replace about one-half of our anticipated grant funding reduction for Project S afety Net. 5 � 2. In response to question 3, three of you felt that we should fund the hiring of two additional police officers in 1999. Only 11 of the 26 commission respondents opted for this choice. 3. In response to question 6, three agreed that we should stick with a long-term fire equipmerit replacement plan that is needed to maintain our Class 3 fire rating. 4.

Three also favored moving from no annual limit on recreational fee waivers to establishing a limit on activities or dollars. 7. Your answers to question 29 indicated that a maj ority would not begin a monthly brush pick- up program, but would restrict our brush and tree limb pickup to those occasions when we have heavy storm damage. 0 8. On question 31, three of you indicated that you would rather spend $7,000 to keep the yard waste site open than divert the same amount of money to monthly brush pickup. 9. In response to question 35, three said that you were ambivalent regarding the size of �refuse containers. 10. Three of you also indicated that you would allow curbside placement of refuse containers in response to question 36. 11. Finally, a majority indicated in response to question 41 a willingness to spend another two � months and another $10,000 analyzing our telecommunications options. C. Commissions: In contrast to the to the 12 areas of maj ority agreement among Council members; there were 9 areas of maj ority agreement among the 26 commission respondents. For the most part, these areas (with the exception of question 33) were the same areas on which Council reached agreement. 1. Like Council, a majority of the commission members who responded (14) would seek support of other cities and use local funds to replace about one-half of our expected reduction in Project Safety net grant funding. � � 2. In contrast to Council's majority answer on question 6, however, a majority of commission respondents (16 of 26) would try to preserve our Class 3 fire rating, but would upgrade equipment on a year-to-year basis rather than in accordance with a multi-year fire equipment replacement plan. 3. Also in contrast, a majority of commission members say that � we should make an effort to improve our Fire Department response times. 4. On question 19, a maj ority (19 of 26) of commission respondents would continue to limit our recreational fee waiver program to selected activities. Like Council, they would set a maximum limit on the number of activities or dollars allowed under recreational fee waiver : . ��-,-- 5: Also like Council, a majority ( 18 of 26) would upgrade City streets by geographic area, attempting to work on the lowest scored areas first. � � � � 6. In response to question 24, 14 of 26 respondents would also maintain our existing street lighting policy. s 7. In contrast to Council's response to question 33, a majority of commission members (17 of 26) say that the cost of the complaint tracking software, including the cost of staff resources, is high relative to the benefits received. V. Areas of Maj ority Agreement: � A. While most of the survey questions required a choice among various alternatives, 10 of the 42 questions asked the respondent to rank the choices using a scale of 1 to 5. The final question asked for a ranking of 13 proposed "new" expenditures for 1999. This sections described the results of the ranking in each of those areas. � B. Question 11 - Park Service Areas: This question asked each respondent to rank various alternatives for dealing with areas of Fridley that are underserved in terms of access to parks. l. City Council members -gave their highest score (4.3) to alternative B(Improve bikeways and walkways to provide better access ...). They gave their lowest cumulative score (2.3) to alternative D(Tolerate the existing problem ...). � r 2. Commission respondents also gave their highest score (4.16) to alternative B. Their lowest score (1.75), however, went to alternative A�(Buy property in underserved areas . . .). C. Question 12 - Parks and Recreation Im�rove- ments: This question asked respondents to prioritize various parks capital improvements strategies. 1. Council members like alternative A(Upgrade and redevelop our existing park facilities ...). They gave this option a rating of 4. Council's least favored option (2.6) was alternative D(LJse our financial resources toward building additional improvements to the Community _ Center . . .). - 2. Commission respondents also gave their highest score (4.0) to alternative A. They gave their lowest score (2.56) to alternative B(Purchase additional land to expand our parks and open space areas . . .). D. nuestion 13 - Community Center Facilities: This question asked respondents to prioritize potential improvements to the Fridley Community Center. io 1. Council members did not give a very high score to any of the alternatives. Their highest, lukewarm support went to alternatives A and B. Under A, we would complete the lower level of the Fridley Community Center, but do not more. Under alternative B, we would add a double gymnasium. � 2. Council's scores for these two priorities were 3.0 and 2.8 respectively. The scores of commission respondents were a little higher than those of Council members, but still probably indicate only mild, as opposed to enthusiastic support, for further improvements to the Fridley Community Center. 3. Like Council, commission respondents gave their highest score (3.28) to alternative A, the "do nothing more" alternative. The next highest scores were ranked 2.96 and 2.92 and supported alternatives D and C, respectively. Under these alternatives, we would add a therapeutic swimming pool and a family-oriented swimming facility to the Fridley Community Center. 11 y e Y E. Question 14-S�ringbrook Nature Center Pro�r� ams and Services: This question asked respondents to prioritize a long list of Springbrook Nature Center programs and services. 1. Council members gave t�eir highest scores to alternatives A(4.6), J(4.4) and H(4.2). They gave their lowest level of support to alternatives I (2.0), D (2.4) and F (2.6). 2. The high scoring alternatives state a preference for maintenance of existing trails and facilities (A), provision of materials that will allow self- guided tours (J) and the hosting of special events, such as the Halloween Special and the Spring Celebration (H). Council was least attracted to having Nature Center staff serving as leaders/speakers to scout groups, clubs, etc. (I). 3. Council also gave relatively low scores to having Nature Cent�r staff serving as an information resource on various nature-related topics (D). 4. Additionally, Council ranked the coordination of environmental study projects by Nature Center staff relatively low (F). IZ 5. One might interpret from these results that Council members are most supportive of maintaining the facility and conducting programs that have broad community appeal. At the same time, however, you are least suppo�tive of more labor-intensive, staff centered projects that benefit particular organizations and groups:� 6. Commission respondents generally supported most of the suggested programs and services. They gave their highest scores to alternatives A, C and B, respectively. Like Council, their highest priority is the maintenance of existing facilities (A), followed by coordination of youth and adult volunteers (C), � and management of the animal and plant population at the Nature Center �B)• 7.

While Council's score on this question was 3.8, the commission respondents registered a 4.04. G. Ouestion 18 - Provision of Recreational Programs for Older Youth: This question was asked as a result of a drop in levels of satisfaction with the City's recreation programs. 1. Our 1997 citizen survey discovered that most oi this dissatisfaction was registered by parents of older youth. The survey asked what the respondents thought should be done about the drop in satisfaction levels. 2. Council members gave their strongest support to alternative A. Under this option, we would conduct focus group meetings and do additional surveying to determine the reason for dissatisfaction, as well as the best ways to address the dissatisfaction. While the score for Council was 4.8, the commission respondents gave the option a 3.96. 14 3. Their strongest score (4.24) was for alternative C. Under this option, we would offer more opportunities for drop-in activities at the Fridley Community Center and plan additional organized activities for older youth at the Fridley Community Center. H. Question 30 - Recycling Center: This question asked for a rating on the future operation of the City's recycling center. � 1. While Council members generally supported alternative C with a score of 3.0, their support for all of the options listed was relatively low. Commission respondents on the other hand were ` generally enthusiastic (4.11) with � alternative A. They also gave strong support (3 .3 8) to alternative C. 2. Under alternative A, we would maintain existing levels of service as long as those levels can be provided without significantly increasing our operating deficit. Under option C, we would maintain our existing levels of service only if the County is willing to reimburse us for a significant portion of our deficit. 15 ii .� I. Ouestion 39 - Revenue to Su��ort Services: This is a repeat question from last year's survey. The obj ective of the question is to measure levels of support for various revenue raising alternatives. 1. Council's responses generally indicate very lukewarm support for any of the alternatives. Their highest scores were for alternatives B and E (both were scored 2.6). 2. Under alternative B, we would impose utility franchise fees, if they can be imposed in collaboration with other cities. 3. Under alternative E, we would seek State funding . from our housing rehabilitation programs. � 4. There was virtually no support (score of 1.2) for alternative D. Under this option, we would raise property taxes to cover the cost of additional services. 5. In contrast to Cauncil, support for the suggested revenue options was generally higher for commission respondents. 6. Their highest score (3.75) was for alternative E. They also indicated strong support for alternatives A, B, and F. 16 � � 7. These options would have us raising revenues by selling our services to other cities, imposing utility franchise fees, and improving the profit of our liquor operation. Their support for raising property taxes (score of 2.52) was considerably higher than Council's. J. Question 40 - Fund Balances: This question, also a repeat question from last year's survey, asked for an evaluation of various philosophies toward the use of our fund balances. l. Council's support for any of the four options offered was generally weak. Scores ranged between 1.4 and 2.2. 2. None of the options could be regarded as a ringing endorsement of any policy option. 3. Commission respondents' choices, however, were more decisive. They selected alternative B as their preferred option, with a score of 3.95. Under this option, the City should avoid drawing down fund balance principal, but be willing to use interest growth in excess of the rate of inflation to help support the General Fund. K. Ouestion 42 - Overall Priorities: This question recognized all of the new expenditure proposals that were presented in all of the previous questions. 17 � Respondents were asked to rate new expenditure priorities by using a scale of 1 to 5. l.

Under alternative A, we would be replacing a fire engine in 1999. Option J, once again, was the addition of two new police officers. 6. The commission respondents also liked alternative C (street lighting improvements) (score of 3.32). Alternative G, the purchase of complaint tracking software was the least favored commission option with a score of 1.72.
