Ms. Arocha said if they removed the weighting questions it would be at a considerably higher cost <br />to the City for Polco to go back and essentially redo previous data. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked if there is a collaboration between ICMA and Polco to create the <br />survey questions and if there is any collaboration on reviewing this aggregated data. <br /> <br />Ms. Arocha explained that this is the only survey product that is endorsed by ICMA as it was <br />developed in collaboration with them. She said ICMA does not have access to the survey data. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked if they were to remove these questions from the survey if they would <br />lose the ability to compare their data to other cities as well as not being able to determine what <br />changes in City trends are as they would be starting new trends. <br /> <br />Ms. Arocha explained that if they remove the demographic questions and there is a trend shift then <br />they will not be able to determine if this change in trend is due to changes in resident demographics <br />or not.

He explained that the <br />precincts that are drawn have to supply their election judges and they do a public handcount of the <br />votes from the drawn precincts. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked if Oak Grove is a part of the post-election review at the County, is <br />that funded by the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Lind said yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove thanked the members of the ACEIT for their presentation which <br />contained a lot of new information that she did not know.
