She explained we are looking <br /> for 500 responses from the community, not necessary from people who <br /> currently attend the Veterans Memorial Senior Center. The intent is to have <br /> this survey externally focused to get a good representation from our senior <br /> community. The Commissioners discussed ways to get the survey into the <br /> community and several of the Commissioners volunteered to assist in this <br /> project. Commissioner Grove estimated it might take 25 volunteers a week <br /> or more to gather the survey results and then the results would need to be <br /> analyzed. She asked the Commissioners to decide whether they felt the <br /> survey had value and if we should proceed. Manager Griffith suggested that <br /> someone could be hired to analyze the information. She confirmed that U. S. <br /> Census information will not be available until the end of the year. <br /> M/S Borgens/Moran: To proceed with this survey and look at the <br /> logistics of this project. <br /> Motion passed unanimously. <br /> Commissioner Borgens left the meeting at 2:55pm. <br /> -Senior Luncheon <br /> Commissioner Carpe stated that she has reserved Harry's Hofbrau for the <br /> location of the June 21 luncheon.
