Communications and Events Coordinator Thorstad referenced the language in the entertainment <br /> contract. She stated that the City should have something is writing that the festival is not occurring <br /> so that the City does not lose out on $4,000. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau confirmed that staff could draft that language to come forward to the Council. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich stated that staff is doing the summer concert series in a modified format. <br /> He noted that the band could perform in that format if desired. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that staff could identify if a <br /> Happy Days type concert is going to be held at the amphitheater. He noted that staff could bring <br /> back a resolution formally canceling the event and use that to book the entertainment for 2021. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma suggested that the City Attorney review the contract to ensure that the <br /> local declaration would be sufficient for the contract. <br /> Councilmember Specht stated that he would prefer that the band be booked for a concert at The <br /> Draw rather than canceling. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if the City is worried about social distancing and whether that is the <br /> purpose of the tickets. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that the mandate by the State <br /> is that gatherings should be limited to 250 people and that would be the purpose of the tickets. He <br /> stated that his thought would be to save the larger band for the 2021 event, as that band would <br /> draw more than 250 people. He stated that perhaps that decision be left to staff to have <br /> conversations with the band. <br /> 2.02: Discuss 2020 Citizen Survey <br /> City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that he is not in favor of an online survey, as the feedback will be <br /> skewed. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that the City is looking for a sample size and response that is statistically <br /> significant and it does not sound like that it ensured online. He stated that when mailed there is <br /> better statistical significance. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich replied that the online option has about 20 percent less response rate. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau commented that the response rate is important. <br /> Councilmember Menth stated that he recalls filling out a survey a few years ago. He asked the <br /> response rate on paper. <br /> City Council Work Session/June 23,2020 <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
