SUMMARy OF DATA <br />'lwo things should be pointed out at the start: <br />(1) The data collected spea.ks for itself. <br />(2) Information (data) is just that uzformation. It takes <br />knowledge to understand t.he information and more <br />importantly to act upon it. <br />Basically, the survey looked at citg services relatect to safety, health, <br />and quality of life as we11 as job creation activities. <br />Th.e survey gives good grades to public safety, iess t.h.,an good to <br />heal.t.h care, and "poor" in some aspects of quaTity of ]ife. <br />Most striking is the m.any opinions that are positive. Nonetheless, <br />there are problems to be solved. <br />Broadening the tax base through industrial recruitment and <br />tourism has garnered the most negative statistics; city appearance, <br />coupled with code enforcement, street repair, and general <br />cleartliness, is very negat%ve as well. <br />The pure data ranked the problem areas as foIlows with the }li,g}lest <br />percentage of "poor" listed as # 1 and then in descending order, <br />, 7A <br />economic development <br />Poor % * <br />39°fo <br />Count <br />1004 <br />?B <br />tourism <br />31 <br />' <br />?90 <br />6G <br />code enforcement <br />27 <br />679 <br />6J <br />condition of streets <br />26 <br />650 <br />6K <br />curbs/gutters <br />25 <br />650 <br />9 <br />Business climafie <br />23 <br />600 <br />S <br />Overall appearance <br />22 <br />568 <br />10 <br />Culture activities <br />22 <br />569 <br />6L <br />animal control <br />~ <br />19 <br />491 <br />61 <br />parks/recreation <br />opportun.ities <br />12 <br />283 <br />6E <br />water biliing dept <br />11 <br />290 <br />6N <br />health dept <br />11 <br />279 <br /> <br />pzrcent of total count for that item <br />1. <br />- 000013 44 <br />
