The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday got the results from the 2013 community survey.
The litany of “good” and “excellent” reviews of city services that came from the 2013 community survey may have been best summed up thusly: To say people have positive feelings about Woodbury would be an “understatement of colossal proportions,” said Bill Morris, president of Decision Resources, the company that conducted Woodbury’s survey and does so for several other metro area cities. The Woodbury City Council heard the results from the biannual survey during its meeting Wednesday night. Decision Resources conducted telephone interviews with 400 Woodbury residents in February, asking about everything from stoplights and roundabouts to housing options and public safety and how much more in taxes people would be willing to pay for a water…

The Woodbury City Council meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, at City Hall.
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-…

The event was held Sunday, Jan. 27, at Carver Lake Park.
Braving stinging ice pellets and freezing rain, 86 cyclists took to Carver Lake Park on Sunday for the second annual Cold Catfish Cup winter bike race. Spirits remained high despite a steady downfall of sleet that began just as racers grouped at the starting line. As the race progressed, a crowd of at least two dozen spectators and volunteers endured rapidly changing weather to cheer on bikers as they passed. Racers came prepared with a variety of winter apparel and gear, including specially designed “fat bikes” with oversized tires for better control on the occasionally treacherous trail. Related: ‘Fat Bike’ Riders to Descend on Woodbury Woodbury Recreation Specialist Reed Smidt, who helped organize the race with Angry Catfish …

Republican Rep. Andrea Kieffer was re-elected Tuesday to the state House of Representatives, according to the unofficial results from the Secretary of State.
