OpenGovernmentCommission | 2018-02-05 | 2 | Vice Chair Little noted Jean Sweeney Park will be one of the largest inner City Parks, which should also be honored as part of the process. Commissioner Dieter inquired why the survey is posted at two different online locations. The Public Information Officer responded the survey is posted in a number of places; stated there are several versions of the Survey Monkey survey and links to the main survey have been posted on social media; outlined other users who have received surveys, such as See Click Fix and Peak Democracy; stated a mailer was sent to people across Alameda; the survey has also been publicized in the newspaper; the City has tried to give access to as many people as possible and did not want to limit it to just people who would take a survey on Survey Monkey; over 3,500 responses have been received. Commissioner Dieter inquired about the outreach online; stated the City's website survey has been discussed verbally, but there have only been tweets about Peak Democracy. The Public Information Officer responded some people like Peak Democracy and others do not; stated whether people want to fill out the survey on Survey Monkey, Peak Democracy or via the mail is a personal choice; the data is being collected in the exact same way for everyone who responds. Commissioner Dieter stated there is also a telephone survey for an infrastructure parcel tax that would cost $23 per month per $100,000 of assessed valuation; inquired whether the surveys are related. The Public Information Officer responded in the affirmative; stated the telephone survey just started. Commissioner Dieter inquired whether the City is doing the survey in order to move forward in a campaign, to which the Public Information Officer responded not necessarily; stated the City is trying to figure out options to pay for infrastructure needs; once the City has collected the data from all of the surveys, the City will present the results to Council for Council to decide if and how to move forward. Commissioner Dieter stated thoughts on infrastructure immediately go to sidewalks and streets; when she took the survey, there was an option for affordable housing; inquired about affordable housing being included in an infrastructure survey. The Public Information Officer responded that she would have to talk to the Public Works Director to specifically answer the question; stated that she thinks it has to do with the original phone survey, which included housing and traffic; she believes it was included to see the public's priorities in total; she would want to provide a response after asking the Public Works Director.
