Mr. Woolery presented the agenda item and stated that the Baytown City Council included in its 2012 -13 budget, funding for the City's first ever DirectionFinder Citizen Survey conducted by ETC Institute. Chris Tatham, Executive Vice President at ETC Institute, presented this year's results and stated that the results have statistical significance with a precision of at least +/- 5.0% at the 95% level of confidence. He stated that the overall satisfaction of Baytown is significantly higher than other communities and that the overall perception from the residents of the city is good. Mr. Tatham recommended to continually work on street maintenance, traffic flow, and core services. Mr. Tatham stated that the survey maps reflected that the overall satisfaction from the residents in the city is being served equally and that solid waste, library, ambulance, police, and fire received positive ratings for providing a high level of service. Mr. Tatham stated that bicycle lanes, underutilized abandoned properties, pedestrian walk ways, safety in parks, and public involvement regarding the city budget received low satisfaction ratings. During further discussion, Mr. Tatham stated that Baytown ranked significantly higher than other cities in the Southwestern Region Index and the United States National Index regarding a combined positive rating for the following city services: police, fire, and ambulance services; parks and recreation; customer service; communication; code enforcement; and overall maintenance of city streets. He stated that it is very rare that a city out performs communities in almost every category. He stated that the city trailed in the ratings satisfaction is traffic which is common when people want to be there. Mr. Tatham stated that in regards to the perception of the city, the overall quality of city services and regarding value for taxes, Baytown is setting the standard in both of those areas. He stated that it's rarely that he sees an indicator where the local government is significantly above the average in regards to the perception of quality of life. He stated that Baytown is above average and setting the standard overall in customer service, but some there were individual areas that could be improved on such as street maintenance and public safety services. Mr. Tatham stated that of the approximately 22,000 residential households in Baytown the survey was delivered to 1,200 randomly - selected residents with the goal of collecting at least 400 responses that reflected the City's geographic and demographic make -up. He stated that they looked at the composition of their sample and compared it to the most recent census and that any adult living or lived at the address selected qualified to complete the survey. During further discussion, an inquiry was made in regards to comparison and if Baytown was compared to other cities or by cities of comparable site. Mr. Tatham stated the information that he presented were the results from a comparison based by average of all cities but that the report would show Baytown compared to 42 other communities.
