Mayor Strommen referenced the nuisance related questions and asked if those two questions <br />could be combined to free up some space. She referenced the demographic data, which asks for <br />a person to rate their health. She stated that she would be suspicious if the City were asking her <br />to rate her health on a survey. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that there is no mention of a community center in the survey and <br />asked if that is intentional. <br />Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated that staff can attempt to <br />add that language in, noting that there is limited space and it can be difficult to gain adequate <br />response. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that in the past the question has been asked if residents would <br />like a community center if there was an increase in taxes to support that item. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would not like to see the community center mentioned. <br />He noted that including that element would make residents think that it is a possibility while <br />there are other more important elements that require funding at this time, such as a public works <br />facility. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that using that justification perhaps there are other elements that <br />should not be considered. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that it would be nice to have the trending data on the desire for a <br />community center. <br />Councilmember Riley referenced the question which states to build a facility to incubate <br />business and stated that is outside of the purview of the City and does not want to see that <br />included on the survey. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that if that item is going to be included against the other items listed, <br />perhaps more explanation would be needed. She noted that the community center has at least <br />been mentioned before. She stated that while the idea of an incubator has been discussed, the <br />Council has not discussed building a new facility for that aspect. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that perhaps the incubator item should be separated out into a <br />new question. <br />City Administrator Ulrich agreed that there was a lot of discussion around including the <br />incubator question on a staff level and stated that perhaps that item is dropped, and the <br />community center element could be added in its place. <br />3.
