Survey Results, Five Oaks Sign, Roadwork: Woodbury Council Preview

If the results from the previous community survey are any indication, the Woodbury City Council is in for some good news Wednesday night.

Decision Resources officials are set to present the results from the 2013 community survey during the council meeting. The company in February conducted telephone questionnaires with 400 Woodbury residents.

In 2011, the results from the biannual survey were clear: “People just have good feelings about the city,” Dan Morris, president of Decision Resources, told the council at the time.

Morris is once again expected to present the findings, which are meant to aid in the council’s decision-making at an April 23 strategic-panning session.

The council, staff and members of city commissions developed the 145-question survey with help from Decision Resources. It asked residents their opinions on city services and issues.

Five Oaks Community Church has submitted an application for an interim conditional-use permit to construct a 55-square-foot electronic sign along Radio Drive.

A public hearing on the matter is scheduled for the meeting.

Under the consent agenda, the council is expected to approve:

• plans for Bailey Road and Woodlane Drive improvements.
• the Woodbury Drive expansion project scheduled for this summer, along with awarding the bid.
• the Pioneer Drive extension, utility and street improvements from Hargis Parkway to Dale Road.  

The council meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, at City Hall. Check out the full agenda on the city’s website.

• hold a workshop about organizational changes in the Engineering and Public Works Department. It will follow the regular meeting.
• approve the site plan for New Life Church and Academy’s new Family Ministry Building. See: Woodbury’s New Life Planning to Build Family Ministry Center
• accept the Earl Willford Award, presented annually by the Twin Cities Area Labor Management Council for “outstanding cooperation and partnership between management and labor in working together to address matters of concern to both interests,” according to a council memo.
• proclaim April 21-27, 2013, as Volunteer Recognition Week in Woodbury.
