City Council Meeting Minutes July 17, 2018 Page 7 of 13 • There needs to be context on the housing questions (11-13) but not sure what information is being sought by those questions. • Felt questions 17 and 18 had been answered before. Need to ask a question about downtown parking and what it would cost. • Should ask if people are willing to pay for an additional underpass to accelerate the installation of those. • Ask if people want more art venue space. • Would like a question about attitudes towards lifting the pit bull ban • Ask if people support regulating the location of marijuana sales in the same way as we do liquor sales. Councilmember Loo: • Liked the forced ranking questions like 2016, should continue that here. • Is concerned it is bordering on a "push poll" in that how the questions are asked may dictate answers. She was particularly concerned about this on the museum questions. • We should ask something about taxes and fees. We need to communicate that all of these things cost money. • Need to explain there are tradeoffs if we do something like ban herbicide use. • Perhaps we need a question on broadband to clarify the options. • Don't see any library questions, do we need some. • She would like a question about whether trail signage is needed. • Need better questions on affordable housing. • She noted there is a large section on short-term residential properties and she feels that space could be used for other more useful questions. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton: • #1 seems to be re -do of earlier surveys; we don't need to measure again; it doesn't provide actionable information or give us information we want. • Agrees with Councilmember Stolzmann some of the scoring is not useful, will only learn a person is unhappy. • Not sure why we are asking questions for the Fire Protection District. (Mayor Muckle noted the LFPD asked the City to include these questions.) • Enforcement of traffic regulations rating system is not useful. • We should stay away from recreation center questions until the new center is open and programing changes are in place. • #4 on traffic and infrastructure needs to have costs or financing information attached; it needs context and an understanding that there are tradeoffs. • There is a need for information on dog park issues #6, but we should add an option for "I Don't Know." • #7 the museum question is bordering on a push poll as presented.
