Community Surveys Are in the Mail!

We're pleased to announce the release of our second community survey for the Climate Action Plan. Our first survey (online) was tied to the kickoff workshop in December 2021. This second survey asks about community priorities, and then drills down to the specific actions the City and community could take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and/or improve climate resilience.

Because we want to be both statistically valid and inclusive, we are conducting the survey by mail with an online option. This week, mailed surveys were sent to 2,500 randomly selected households -- if you receive a paper survey in the mail, please fill it out! Your mailed copy also provides two ways to take the survey digitally: use your unique ID number on the outer survey envelope (a printed “CODE” next to your address) to access it online or scan the QR code to take it on your cellphone or other smart device.

If you do not receive a paper version in the mail, your voice is important to us, and you can still complete the survey online! The identical, community-wide survey is available to all residents here on this page, and the results will be tabulated separately.

An analysis of responses should be completed in November, and our current schedule plans for a presentation to City Council at its November 15 Meeting. Along with other sources of information and guidance, survey results will help the City Council determine the best actions to include in the draft Climate Action Plan to be released later this year.
