1.
GROUP ORIENTATION TO THE EVENING
Chair Etten introduced everyone
and explained the conference call protocol.
2. LEISURE
VISION SURVEY DISCUSSION via
conference call with Ron Vine
Mr. Vine listed the following as
an overview of the survey findings.
· A
good job has been done concentrating on the right projects.
· Tough
decisions will need to be made on the dollar amount recommended to be spent on
the first round of projects.
· Survey
showed consistency of priority areas.
· Trails
are of key importance.
· Survey
indicates a bond referendum can be passed at the right dollar amount for the
right projects.
Based on his experiences, the
survey responses show that $8-$10/month is the right amount for a referendum at
this time. Numbers indicate that a vote would more than likely pass in the low
50 percentile (as high as 55%) with the potential to lose at 48%.
Significant messages recognized by
Leisure Vision;
o People
in Roseville have high expectation and this can play to the advantages of a
vote.
o The
high ratings of parks and facilities indicate Roseville has done a good job
with the funds allocated and have a high degree of trust in the parks and
recreation operations.
o Survey
reports that 80% would use a community center.
o Underlying
message includes “do something important” with funding.
o Survey
should act as a tool for the decision makers to make the decision.
Leisure Vision cautioned;
o “Cherry
picking” – you can’t pick and choose which survey question you accept the
findings and which you question.
o Trying
to do something for everyone and not doing what is important for most of the
people.
o Kiss
of Death is to scale back and just do something. Create a plan and be 100%
behind the plan, the proposal is positive and great for the community. Can’t
control the economy and other community conditions.
