Discussion of the Report by Godbe Research on the Revenue Measure Feasibility Survey <br />City Manager Jermanis began the discussion of the Godbe public opinion survey by <br />providing the Committee with a brief overview of the survey results. He explained the <br />results showed that although the community valued the harbor, there was little support for <br />funding the harbor operations through a parcel tax. <br />Councilmember Prola asked if City staff could provide the Committee with the statistical <br />breakdown of the survey by Council District. Assistant to the City Manager Battenberg <br />responded that she will follow up with Godbe and forward this information to the <br />Committee. <br />The Committee discussed the survey results and how to support the harbor operations <br />without new revenue, such as a parcel tax. Councilmember Starosciak stated that based on <br />the success of the golf course, privatization of the harbor may be a way to cut costs and <br />increase revenue. City Manager Jermanis explained that private operators have expressed <br />interest in managing the harbor, the caveat being that they would require the City to fund the <br />dredging of the channel. <br />
