<br /> -2- <br /> Previous surveys of community attitudes may be used as guides. <br /> Additionally, items may be included on the survey that are similar to <br /> those used in national polls (such as Gallup and the Inter-university <br /> Consortium for Political and Social Research) and in state polls (such <br /> as the Texas Poll) in order that the results found in the City may be <br /> compared with national and state attitudes. The Consultants have <br /> access to poll results making such comparisons possible. <br /> (d) The Consultants will use a randomly selected sample of <br /> approximately 600 households, or whatever number is necessary to ensure <br /> at least 600 survey responses. Listing of households may be obtained <br /> from the telephone directory, utility billings, and other sources. <br /> ( e) Following preparation of the survey and selection of the <br /> sample, the Consultants will prepare and mail an introductory letter <br /> signed by the Mayor of the City to each sample household. The <br /> Consultants will also hire and train a survey crew of residents of <br /> the City, and will provide Spanish language options as needed. This <br /> process will be coordinated with the City's Department of Planning and <br /> Development Services staff and the City Planning and Zoning Commission. <br /> ( f) The Consultants will mail the survey to each sample household. <br /> The Consultant's survey crew will subsequently call each sample <br /> household to remind them of their selection for participation in the <br /> study, inform them of procedures for administration and completion of <br /> the survey, and answer any questions they may have. The Consultant's <br /> survey crew will thereafter make an in-person visit to each sample <br /> household to collect the completed surveys. <br />
