HomeMy WebLinkAbout7.B. City Wide Survey Discussion General Business 7. B. SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark McNeill,City Administrator DATE: 09/02/2014 SUBJECT: City-wide Survey Discussion Action Sought For the Council to give direction to staff to hire the Morris Leatherman Company to perform a City-wide telephone residential survey regarding municipal services. Background One of the directives that was given to the City Administrator for 2014 was to"establish and monitor measurable goals for each City department." While components of that can be done for individual departments,to establish an overall residents' perception of municipal service levels,it is recommended that a City-wide survey be undertaken. From a performance measurement standpoint,it would establish a"baseline"from which to work to improve the view of the levels of service from the City. The Morris Leatherman Company(M-L)is well-known in the Twin Cities area for performing statistically-valid telephone surveys on behalf of city governments and school districts. Area entities that have used M-L include the Cities of Prior Lake, Savage,Minnetonka,Burnsville,Eden Prairie,Eagan,Lakeville,and Chaska. The company has also done surveys for the Farmington and Shakopee School Districts. It performed a survey for Shakopee regarding the Community Center in the late-1990's. The representative from M-L stated that regularly-scheduled surveys are important for policy makers to accurately gauge the tenor of the community. He noted that elected officials typically hear from strong supporters of a specific project,and also from people who are particularly adverse to tax increases. However,he said that 50-60%of the people are somewhere in the middle. He felt that it was important for policy makers to have accurate information from which to determine where to place their resources,both in terms of efforts,and funding. Attached is a sample of some of the questions which are typically asked of a city's residents. He said that the survey instrument would be tailored for our particular situation. M-L would meet first with stakeholders,including elected officials,staff,and other community representatives,to establish the topics for which inquiries would be made. Because this is the first general survey for Shakopee,it's probable that a larger than typical number of questions would need to be asked. For Shakopee right now,it might be particularly timely to inquire about opinions for recreation--a second sheet of ice,indoor swimming pool,artificial turf fields,and the like. Questions could be structured so that the support for various types of funding could be weighed. Most alternatives to one-on-one interviews,such as on-line opinion polling,are typically not as accurate. Beginning to end,it is estimated that 90 days'time would be needed. Therefore,the base results could be received before the end of the year. 3 � i Recommendation I recommend that the City hire Morris Leatherman to conduct a survey of Shakopee residents to gauge community perception and support for municipal projects and services. Until the full scope is determined,I further recommend authorizing the maximum estimated expenditure of $22,000;if the questions can be pared down,the cost would be reduced accordingly. Budget Impact As shown in the attached proposal,the cost of the project varies by the number of questions asked,and by the degree of accuracy desired. Four-hundred telephone interviews for a city of our size will yield an accuracy rate of +1-5%. Increasing the sample to 600 calls increases the accuracy rate to+1-4%. It should be noted that 35-45%of the calls are made to cell phones,and so people without land-lines are accurately represented as well. Overall,the cost would range from a low of$13,000(basic survey)to$22,000. Again,as this would be the initial survey,I recommend budgeting at the high end of that range. The costs of this survey would be charged to the City Council budget. If the Council chooses to go ahead,a follow-up survey would not necessarily need to be done annually,although some cities do that. M-L stated that more typical cycle is every two to four years,with cities of faster rates of growth often opting for the every other year alternative. Relationship To Visioning This supports Goal B, "Positively manage the challenges and opportunities presented by growth,development and change. Requested Action If the Council concurs,it should,by motion,direct Staff to hire the Morris Leatherman Company to perform a telephone survey regarding municipal services and projects,at a cost not to exceed$22,000.
