ETC
Survey
Meredith Hauck presented the results of the ETC survey to the Parks Board. The Board discussed areas where Parks and Recreation had significant decreases since 2012 – Programming
for Kids, Programming for Adults, and Programming for Seniors. Additional programs have been added in all of these areas over the past two years and attendance is good so the reason
for the rate decrease is unknown. The board discussed that one issue might be that the events and the success of the events aren’t being marketed well enough. Ken Smith suggested used
the Nixle service to send out reminders for the events.
