City Administrator Hagen explained that they legally have to identify an official newspaper for <br />publication requirements. He noted the responses to this question could change what else they do <br />with the newspaper. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove noted that Twitter needs to be changed to X. She added it would be <br />interesting to see how many people use the City’s YouTube channel to get information. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said the City does have a YouTube account; however, they do not <br />actively use it. He noted that question 13 addresses the City’s methods of communication. He <br />shared that Champlin had a question in their survey asking their residents if there was another form <br />of communication they would like the city to use. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove said that would be an interesting question to find out where people are <br />going for social media. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff added that they could also ask what people think is the local <br />newspaper, if that is the Anoka Union Herald or the Star Tribune. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove noted that all questions under question 14 have to do with Parks and <br />Recreation. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said the intent in the past for this question was to gauge interest in <br />investing in parks and trails. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if they wanted to add more specific items to this question, such <br />as the splash pad they are adding. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley said this would give them good information on the interests of the residents. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen reiterated that they can take these survey results and send out another <br />survey that would give the tax increases on individual homes to see how strongly residents feel <br />about these things. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell said she would be curious on what feedback they would get in regard to <br />a new Community Center as this would take a significant dollar amount to build. She shared that <br />she knows a lot of young parents who would be very enthusiastic about a Community Center; <br />however, she does not know how that enthusiasm would translate if it caused a major tax increase. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said they will be talking about this at the April 9 Work Session. He <br />added that the Community Center would have a revenue aspect to it that could help offset the costs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the splash pad is within the five year CIP. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said this is on the wish list as they do not have funding identified. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated it is on the CIP for 2027. <br />City Council Work Session / March 19, 2024 <br />Page 8 of 17 <br /> <br />
