City Council Meeting Minutes March 23, 2022 <br />mentioned reviewing the random representative sample looks for true <br />residents, what portions have student housing and that will include some <br />scientific review. He stated he can't guarantee specific responses from specific <br />areas but they will do their best to reach out to the community using best <br />practices. <br />Ms. Garza asked if this survey replaces the survey that was on the website <br />previously. She inquired how does this get a sense of what the community <br />wants to do with American Relief Plan (ARP) funds. Ms. Surley said this will <br />help council determine where these funds should go by reviewing the results of <br />the survey. Those questions can be added. <br />Mayor Hughson asked why does it take so long to get the results? Mr. <br />Windisch stated it takes about 4-5 weeks to customize questions, get it <br />scheduled and get the platform setup. He stated the survey is posted for 7 <br />weeks because most respond at the last quarter and it will take about a month <br />for the analysis. Mayor Hughson asked when trying to determine participation <br />we talk about geography, what about age? He stated a number of demographic <br />questions are asked of participants. This helps with benchmarking and cross <br />calculations. <br />Mrs. Reyes asked when representative random sample is done what is the <br />review when receiving them and what type of information are we getting to <br />make sure we are getting a representative response from the community. He <br />stated they will ask people to opt in information and they will be random from <br />all over the community. However, that data will be reported but kept separate <br />from the random address survey. <br />Council Member Baker provided his following questions for the survey: <br />Quality of Life Category <br />-rating opportunities for economic advancement <br />-sense of whether of fair and equitable allocations of city resources as it relates <br />to their neighborhood <br />-Extent to which San Marcos helps with community building and outreach <br />Natural Environment Park Category <br />-importance of mitigating tourist impact on our community <br />-success we have had protecting our river and water resources <br />Health and Wellness Category <br />-means of accessing proper living conditions <br />Council Member Garza provided more information and how to do community <br />City of San Marcos Page 3 <br />
