was not a good base for this survey. He was concerned about the <br />survey being so close to the election of new Councilmembers. <br /> <br />Chris Miller, Assistant to the City Administrator, stated that the <br />360 households is based on approximately 6% of Louisville's total <br />mailing list of households in Louisville. He explained that this <br />is a scientific approach. <br /> <br />Howard felt this was a fair, scientific survey to get the citizens <br />views. <br /> <br />Mayer felt that the terms "very poor" to "excellent", should be <br />stated in a range of high to low. He thought there should also be <br />a "no opinion" area. <br /> <br />Miller explained that if there is a "no opinion" area, you get a <br />lot of "no opinions." <br /> <br />Lathrop stated that the questions are asking for perceptions of the <br />City in certain areas. He felt they would get the most believable <br />results, if somehow they could be sure the citizen had the <br />opportunity to have some experience in the community. Some of the <br />questions would not mean anything to new people in the City. He <br />agreed with Levihn concerns about the new residents to Louisville. <br /> <br />Miller stated that he would check with the survey firm concerning <br />the random selection process. <br /> <br />Keany felt there should be a fair amount of time allowed for the <br />return of the survey and an endorsement on the envelopes for <br />address corrections, so the City will know where it is being <br />forwarded to. <br /> <br />Annette Brand, City Administrator, suggested using Louisville's <br />registered voters. <br /> <br />Howard stated that they could solve the problem of length of <br />residency in Louisville without prejudicing the survey by cross <br />tabulation. <br /> <br />Davidson called for further Council comments or motions. <br /> <br />Brand suggested this item be tabled until the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />Mayer moved that Council table this issue until the May 19, 1994, <br />Council meeting and direct staff to get information on the subject <br />as has been specified. Seconded by Sisk. All in favor. <br /> <br />AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE PARKS MAINTENANCE VEHICLES - STATE BID <br /> <br />Sisk wondered where the vehicles would be purchased, as he wanted <br />as many items purchased from Louisville merchants as possible. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
