3. Members of the commission discussed the proposed questionnaire on city
government that has been developed by Chuck Caturia and Don Kramlinger with
assistance from Dint Hartman. Chuck Caturia named a proposed listing of
those to whom the questionnaire would be sent; members discussed & agreed upon:
a) present city councilpersons 8~ former members--going back to 1980;
b) present and farmer elected officials;
c) city department heads; i.e. streets, water, fire, police, etc.
d} presidents of civic & service organizations (in the hope that they would
share the questionnaire with their membership for discussion);
e) members of the various boards ~ commissions of the city of Hastings;
f) other professional and civic-minded persons--at the discretion of the
committee, since we have no idea of the numbers we're dealing with.
4. Chuck Caturia asked that we go over each of the nine questions to be
responded to in the questionnaire, and goad dlscusslon folTawed. Each was
reviewed far clarity and usefulness. Same wording was removed; some was changed;
but each question was thought to be useful and a 10th one was added concerning
the duties of the mayor. .
5. Timewise, it was hoped the questionnaires cou]d be returned to the committee
for review and processing prior to the September 1985 meeting.
6. Meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
