The setup includes eight receptacles labeled to represent various city services. Your job is to choose where to spend your beans. Just one catch; you only get six beans.
What is most important to you? Or, put another way; what is least important to you? The rules are taped to the counter at the city hall reception desk:
I’ll give you a six bean budget that you can choose to spend on these eight services that many Minnesota cities provide. You can spend it however you like. Put all six beans in one jar or spread them out. Thank you for your participation. Your opinion counts!
Choose among these services:
- Police
- Economic Development (business recruitment, business retention, south shore development)
- Clean Water (storm water, water utilities)
- Parks & Rec. (maintenance, improvements, recreational activities)
- Libraries
- Fire (medical emergency response, inspections, education)
- Sewers & Garbage (wastewater, garbage services)
- Streets & Sidewalks (street sweeping, plowing, maintenance)

Nice idea madam Councilor-elect. suggestion? drop the "comments" approved thing. you can always pull it later, you get notified right away, and those of us who like instant gratification are then satisfied. bet ya get more feed-back, and you still have control. heck i've got Alan Maki as a follower.
