Performance Measurement Survey Results- Comments
June 2, 2017
The following comments were received from survey respondents.
Streets/Plowing Services Comments:
* Northland addition resurfacing of streets did not raise property value as stated and is cracking at
an alarming rate. Seemed like a quick way to raise money.
Utility Services Comments:
* No comments.
Parks and Recreation Comments:
* If we are planning to spend 12 million on a community center,where are the activities for our
young population?
* The people have wanted a pool for quite some time, but no pool indoor or outdoor is planned.
Why?
Other City Services Comments:
* We would like to have the Ambulance service stationed at the government center for the safety
and responsiveness for medical aid.
General Comments:
* Our elementary education choices are great, but high school options need to be looked at. We
are losing good people to surrounding areas because of the lack of a great high school option.
* Willing to spend tax payer dollars, but unwilling to listen to public input at Council meeting. I
watched the council members staring at the ceiling while concerns were raised. Very obvious
how members were going to vote even before public input.
* Lots of decisions are made despite public opposition.
