We have made an offer and that offer has not been accepted," council was told by Chief Administrative Officer Donald Roughley. "It has been stated by Exbar we‘re far removed from what they want for the property. ‘‘There is no other option open to us to obtain these lands for public use." In a report to council, Roughley said, "negotiaâ€" tions have been undertaken with Exbar Properâ€" ties Inc. for over three years on the basis of the city of Waterloo‘s goal to acquire the questioned lands for civic recreational and institutional The survey will ask people to rate the importance of issues such as Sunday shopping, supply of rental housing, the need for more recreational facilities, the supply of driniing water, the need for curbside recycling, Uptown parking, the need for more cultural facilities, and the adequacy of police and fire services. The large number of issues addressed in the survey "is going to give you information, and it‘s information you want," he said. A proposal to divide the city into seven wards was made by University of Waterloo professors Terrence Downey and Robert Williams late last year, and opposed by the city before the Ontario Municipal Board. Council agreed to drop the word "proposal" from the survey. Coun. Robert Henry told council, "You‘re trying to design (the survey) to give you information you want, not information that‘s out there that you don‘t want." The survey results will give incumbent councillors "an advantage I‘m not sure we deserve" in the upcoming November election, Coun. Lynne Woolstencroft said. A motion by Woolstencroft to make the survey results available to all candidates when they file nomination papers was approved by council. ‘"When you say a change is proposed, that is leading," said Carroll. Carroll added that the city doesn‘t want voters to "zero in on one proposal. We want what is best for this city." "We understood (a telephone survey) provides us with a depth of understanding of peoples opinions and this seems to be missing," he said. Shortreed and Mayor Marjorie Carroll also opposed the use of the work "proposal" in the survey to describe some people‘s desire for a ward system. Matsui emphasized to council that the information obtained in a poll is for you to interpret. It‘s not for (Environics) to make the decision" whether to change to a ward system of election. Coun. John Shortreed wondered why the survey did not explore the idea of a mixed ward system, with some councillors elected atâ€"large and others from wards. Coun. Andrew Telegdi expressed concern to Environics viceâ€"president James Matsui that the large number of other issues treated in the survey might confuse some respondents. "People need to warm up to an issue," Matsui replied. "We have to get their confidence and establish a rapport. We‘re working toward asking, ultimately, the big question." lan Kirkby Chronicle Staff If your telephone rings between Friday, May 13 and May 20 it could be the city calling to find out your opinion about a ward system of electing councillors. Waterloo city council Monday approved the public opinion survey of city residents drafted by city staff with the help of Torontoâ€"based Environics Research Group Ltd. The actual surveying of 1,000 Waterloo citizens randomly selected from the telephone book will be conducted by Environics. Council will receive the results June 2. The survey is designed to rank the issues of concern to Waterloo voters in order of importance, as well as discover their opinion on a proposal to elect councillors by wards instead of the current atâ€"large system.
