Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator ~~
Community Survey
AGENDA ITEM: 2A
BACKGROUND
On March 26, 2007, City Council awarded a contract to Decision Resources for the
implementation of a community survey. The 2007 budget includes $10,500 for this project. In
their proposal, Decision Resources indicated that a 50-question survey could be completed for a
cost of $1 0,500.
DISCUSSION
Mr. Peter Leatherman of Decision Resources met with the Council at the April 16 work session.
He received input from the Council regarding questions to be included in the survey, as well as
other general categories of questions Council would be interested in seeing. Since that time,
Decision Resources and staff have reviewed some drafts of survey questions. Most recently, at
the direction of Council following a work session with the PTRC, an additional series of
questions was developed (see questions 32-36).
At this time there are over 100 questions in the draft survey, although staff is indicating that two
can be deleted (shown with strikeout on the draft). The estimated cost for conducting a survey
with approximately 100 questions is approximately $16,000. It is not unusual to have
community surveys of this length (most cities average 135 questions), and Decision Resources
does not anticipate having difficulty obtaining enough responses for valid and reliable survey
results. (Note: The Pay Equity Study came in approximately $4,300 under budget.)
At this time, staff is looking for feed back from Council. A current draft of survey questions is
attached for your review. Are there questions you would like to see deleted? Are there areas we
have not addressed? Would you like staff to work back to a 50 question survey, or some number
lower than the current number of questions?
I believe there are many benefits from conducting a community survey. Two major benefits are
(1) to provide information for Council (and staff) from our residents that can help guide future
decisions and strategic planning for the City; and (2) to provide a basis for performance
measurement as it relates to service provision.

Once we receive your feedback, we will finalize the survey questions and authorize Decision
Resources to proceed. They have indicated that once we authorize them to proceed, it is
estimated that we should be able to present results to Council in December.
DIRECTION REQUESTED
Provide staff with input regarding the proposed survey questions.
