WORK SESSION. ITEM 252875. PRESENTATION OF NATIONAL CITIZEN SURVEY.GOOD AFTERNOON. HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING? GREAT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE. I'M TOBIN MCCARRON. I'M FROM POCO, THE COMPANY THAT HAS HELPED DO YOUR COMMUNITY SURVEY. I AM A NATIVE OF TEXAS FROM LUCAS. ACTUALLY BORDER YOU AND HAVE MY KIDS GO INTO LOVEJOY RIGHT NOW. MIGHT HAVE YOUR WIFE IN A FEW YEARS WHEN SHE. WHEN THEY GET TO HIGH SCHOOL. ALSO A HEART PATIENT. SO I LOVE IT THAT YOU WERE ON THE BOARD AT THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. EXCITED TO BE HERE.
BEFORE I GO ON, I DO WANT TO GO AHEAD AND THANK TWO PEOPLE. ONE IS IN THE BACK. COCO. GOOD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP. SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING COCO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE THIS AND HELPING MCKINNEY GET THE RESULTS THAT WE GOT. I ALSO WANT TO HELP MY PARTNER WHO REALLY DESERVES ALL THE ACCOLADES FOR THIS AND ALL THE WORK. LILLIE VASQUEZ Y'ALL WILL NOT MEET HER. COCO KNOWS HER WELL. I GET THE GLORY OF GETTING TO PRESENT. SHE GOT TO ACTUALLY DO ALL THE WORK TO GET US TO THIS POINT. PURPOSE OF OUR COMPANY, THE WHOLE MISSION, OUR WHOLE GOAL IS TO GET DATA INTO THE HANDS OF THE DECISION MAKERS, OF THE LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE BETTER DATA INFORMED DECISIONS. WE ARE VERY HAPPY, EXCITED TO PRESENT THIS, AND VERY THANKFUL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CUSTOMERS OF OURS FOR EIGHT YEARS NOW, GOING BACK TO 2017. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE PURCHASED THE NATIONAL RESEARCH CENTER IN 2019, ACQUIRED THEM FOR A FEW DIFFERENT REASONS. ONE WAS BECAUSE OF THIS NATIONAL COMMUNITY SURVEY THAT THEY HAD. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE TWO OTHER SURVEYS, THE NATIONAL EMPLOYEE SURVEY AND A COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT FOR OLDER ADULTS. THOSE SURVEYS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE 2000 AND WE ACQUIRED THEM. WE HAVE A BENCHMARKING DATABASE THAT WE CAN COMPARE, AND WE DO COMPARE YOUR COMMUNITY TO. THE RESULTS I'LL PROVIDE WILL SHOW YOUR HOW YOU ARE DOING RELATIVE TO THE NATION AS WELL AS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN A CUSTOMER WITH US, WITH US FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS. IT CAN SHOW HOW YOU HAVE DONE OVER TIME. PEOPLE WILL USE THIS SURVEY IN A DIFFERENT IN MULTIPLE WAYS. THE COMMON WAYS WE SEE THE SURVEY USED IS SEEN ON THE MONITORS IN FRONT OF YOU. WHERE TO MONITOR TRENDS AND RESIDENT OPINION, TO MEASURE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE. TO HELP INFORM BUDGET, LAND USE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DECISIONS NOT ONLY HELP INFORM, BUT ACTUALLY SOME COMMUNITIES WILL USE THIS TO WRITE THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN.
[00:05:01]
AND THEN ALSO, AS I MENTIONED, BENCHMARKING AGAINST OTHER COMMUNITIES, THE WAY THE NCS IS ARRANGED IS WE HAVE ALL THE QUESTIONS KIND OF CENTERED ON TEN DIFFERENT FACETS OF COMMUNITY LIVABILITY THAT OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, WE THINK ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE IN THE BEST WAY IT CAN BE REPRESENTED. WE DIVE BROADLY INTO THESE TEN DIFFERENT FACETS THAT YOU SEE ON HERE, SUCH AS ECONOMY AND PARKS AND RECREATION, BUT WE ALSO GO DEEP INTO THEM SO YOU CAN GET MORE GRANULAR INTO THOSE SPECIFIC FACETS. IT ALSO HAPPENS TO LINE UP REALLY WELL WITH DEPARTMENTS. MCKINNEY, LIKE MANY COMMUNITIES, HAS A FIRE AND A POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT ALSO YOUR HOUSING AND PLANNING COMMISSIONS, YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS, THOSE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND PEOPLE CAN GO STRAIGHT INTO THE SURVEY TO LOOK AT THOSE AREAS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO THEM. SO WHAT IS THE SURVEY THAT YOU ALL CONDUCTED? THIS IS, AS I SAID, YOU'VE DONE THIS SINCE 2017. EVERY OTHER YEAR. HOW WE ACTUALLY DO THE PROBABILITY BASED, WE HAVE A TWO PRONGED APPROACH, A PROBABILITY BASE WHICH ALLOWS US TO HAVE STATISTICAL VALIDITY. AND WE ALSO HAVE A NON PROBABILITY BASE WHICH WE CALL OPEN PARTICIPATION, THE ONE THAT GIVES US STATISTICS, THE STATISTICAL VALIDITY. IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE GET A LIST OF ADDRESSES THAT ARE SERVING IN THE ZIP CODES THAT SERVE MCKINNEY. AND THEN WE USE THE GIS FILE THAT YOUR CITY PROVIDES US IN ORDER TO OUTLINE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND THROW OUT THE HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF MCKINNEY. OUT OF THOSE HOUSEHOLDS LEFT, WHICH ARE ALL THE ONES THAT ARE IN MCKINNEY, WE CAN THEN SAMPLE RANDOMLY THE ALL OF THEM TO GIVE US THE 5000 HOUSEHOLDS. WE ACTUALLY SENT MAILERS TO. THE MAILERS THEY GET, THEY GET A POSTCARD THAT HAS A URL AND A QR CODE TO ALLOW THEM TO TAKE THE ONLINE SURVEY.THAT SURVEY IS AVAILABLE IN SPANISH AND IN ENGLISH. THEY THEN GET A SECOND FOLLOW UP POSTCARD TO REMIND THEM TO PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY. FROM THOSE PROBABILITY BASED SAMPLE.
WE HAD 268 RESPONSES THAT WE RECEIVED, WHICH GIVES US A 5% RESPONSE RATE. THE SECOND PRONG IS A NON PROBABILITY BASED APPROACH, WHICH GIVES US MORE OF OBSERVATIONS AND MORE RESPONDENTS, BUT DOES NOT ADD TO THE STATISTICAL VALIDITY OF THE SURVEY. THE STATISTICAL STUFF WAS EXPLAINED EARLIER. THIS ONE IS WE GIVE YOU A URL CODE. THE CITY SENDS THAT OUT AND ASKS FOR ANYBODY AND EVERYONE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY TO PLEASE TAKE IT. THAT THEN GOT US ANOTHER 443 RESPONSES. ONLY REASON IT DOESN'T ADD TO THE STATISTICAL VALIDITY IS BECAUSE WE CAN'T. WE ARE NOT RANDOMLY SELECTING IT. IT COULD BE A BIASED GROUP. WE DO NOT USE THAT IN THE RESPONSES. I'M GOING TO REPORT TO YOU TODAY, BUT WE CAN'T. WE DO AND CAN USE THAT IN THE MORE DETAILED VERSION THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THAT, I'M HAPPY TO SHOW IT IN ANOTHER TIME. I GUESS I COULD SHOW IT NOW TOO. WE DO END UP TAKING ALL OF THESE RESPONSES, AND WE STATISTICALLY WEIGHT THEM TO THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF YOUR COMMUNITY. USING THE 2020 CENSUS AND THE 2023 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, SO THAT WE CAN SAY THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR COMMUNITY. AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE IF YOU HAD FIVE WOMEN AND TEN MEN IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND OR SORRY, LET'S SAY YOU HAD EVEN NUMBERS OF MEN AND WOMEN, WHICH YOU DO IN YOUR COMMUNITY, AND YOU HAD TEN RESPONSES FROM MEN AND FIVE RESPONSES FROM WOMEN. WE WOULD JUST SIMPLY TAKE AWAY THE POWER OF EACH OF THOSE MALE RESPONSES SO THAT WE WERE REPRESENTING WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS IN YOUR COMMUNITY ARE. I DO WANT TO GO AHEAD AND BRIEF UP, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK, HEY, WITH SUCH A LOW RESPONSE RATE, CAN WE BE SURE THESE RESULTS ARE VALID? A GOOD QUESTION, SO YOU CAN KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. YES YOU CAN. ACADEMIC LITERATURE THAT IS REPEATED TIME AND AGAIN SHOWS IT IS NOT THE RESPONSE RATE, IT IS THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES YOU GET.
AND THAT NUMBER OF RESPONSES WILL ALLOW YOU TO REPRESENT ON THE GROUP THAT YOU'RE GOING FOR.
SO IF I WANTED TO REPRESENT THE US AS A WHOLE, I CAN SEND OUT AS MANY SURVEYS AS I WANT, AS LONG AS THEY'RE RANDOMLY SENT AND AS LONG AS I GET 100 RESPONSES, I CAN BE 95% CONFIDENT THAT MY ESTIMATE IS WITHIN A 10% MARGIN OF ERROR. AS YOU GET MORE RESPONSES, YOU CAN GET MORE CONFIDENT AND YOU CAN REDUCE THAT MARGIN OF ERROR. SO WITH THE 268 RESPONSES, WE CAN BE SURE WE'RE REPRESENTING MCKINNEY 95% CONFIDENT WITHIN A 6% MARGIN OF ERROR. IF YOU GET 400 RESPONSES, YOU'RE AT A 5% MARGIN OF ERROR. AND THEN IT KIND OF JUST EXPONENTIALLY INCREASES OF WHAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO GET MORE SPECIFIC. OUR BENCHMARKING DATABASE, WE HAVE OVER 500 COMMUNITIES IN THAT. AND SO WHEN I'M REFERENCING THAT YOU'RE SIMILAR TO THE NATION AS TO THOSE 500, YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE 500 REPRESENTS OVER 50 MILLION RESIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE VOICES REPRESENTED IN THOSE COMMUNITIES. SO LET'S GET TO THE RESULTS. FIRST I'M GOING TO START HIGH LEVEL. REMEMBER I TALKED ABOUT THOSE TEN DIFFERENT FACETS AND TEN DIFFERENT FACETS AND DOMAINS OF A COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. HOW ARE YOU COMPARED TO THE NATION? HOW ARE YOU COMPARED TO THE LAST TIME YOUR SURVEY WAS IMPLEMENTED? THIS GRAPH SHOWS THOSE TEN DIFFERENT ONES, AND IT SHOWS THAT IN EVERY ONE OF THESE YEARS, SIMILAR TO WHAT THE NATION IS DOING, YOU'RE SIMILAR TO WHAT THE NATION IS DOING, AND YOU'RE NOT TRENDING DOWN OR UP RELATIVE TO THE 2023 SURVEY THAT YOU GAVE. AND SO IF I WAS TO PICK ONE OF THEM UTILITIES, THEN YOU HAD THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF THE UTILITIES IN YOUR COMMUNITY? 70% OF YOUR RESIDENTS SAID THAT IT WAS
[00:10:06]
EXCELLENT OR GOOD. 30% WOULD HAVE SAID THAT IT IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TWO THINGS ON PAR WITH THE NATION, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU DID IN 2023. WE ALSO ASKED NOT ONLY HOW IS THE QUALITY OF IT, BUT WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE THAT YOUR RATINGS FEEL FOR THESE TEN DIFFERENT FACETS? AND THIS SHOWS YOU HOW EACH OF THEM RANK THEIR RATINGS. WE TYPICALLY SAFETY IN A. WE SEE SAFETY IN ECONOMY AT THE TOP. HERE. WE SEE UTILITIES ACTUALLY ENCROACHING ON THAT. AND THAT'S FINE. IT IS YOUR YOUR RESIDENTS FEEL THAT THAT IS IMPORTANT. SO 88% THINK THAT UTILITIES ARE ESSENTIAL OR VERY IMPORTANT. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT DECLINES DOWN TO INCLUSIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT, WHERE THAT'S STILL AN IMPORTANCE OF 58% ACCORDING TO YOUR RESIDENTS. AGAIN, SIMILAR TO THE NATION, JUST LIKE IT WAS WITH THE QUALITY AND THE TRENDS RELATIVE TO 2023 ARE NOT UP OR DOWN RELATIVE TO THEN WE LIKE TO THEN PUT THIS ON A GRAPH. COMBINED, THIS, WE THINK IS A GREAT WAY FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS. WHERE SHOULD ENERGY AND EFFORT GO? FOR MY COMMUNITY, WHERE SHOULD WE PUT OUR RESOURCES? AND SO HOW I READ THIS SLIDE. THE GREEN IS QUALITY, WHICH IS THE ONE I SHOWED YOU. THE FIRST SLIDE, THE BLUE IS IMPORTANCE, WHICH IS WHAT I SHOWED YOU THE SECOND SLIDE. AND SO IF YOU'RE SEEING A HUGE SPREAD BETWEEN QUALITY AND IMPORTANCE, THEN THAT'S AN AREA YOU MIGHT WANT TO FOCUS ON, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S IMPORTANCE THAT'S HIGHER. AND REALLY IF IT'S IMPORTANCE THAT'S HIGHER. SO ONE EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE BIGGEST SPREAD I SEE ON HERE IS MOBILITY. 64% OF YOUR RESIDENTS SAID THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. WHEREAS THE QUALITY THAT MOBILITY GETS ACCORDING TO YOUR RESIDENTS IS ONLY 34%. AND SO THAT WOULD BE ONE METRIC I MIGHT TRY TO FOCUS ON. BUT MAYBE THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO YOU. MAYBE YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS. AND SO THEN YOU COULD LOOK AT THE ONES THAT ARE GIVEN THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE SAFETY, UTILITIES, ECONOMY, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. I CAN KIND OF SCROLL DOWN AND THOSE ARE GOING TO BE RANKED BY IMPORTANCE. AND I CAN SEE THAT MY UTILITIES HAS AN 88% IMPORTANCE RANKED BY MY RESIDENTS. YET THE QUALITY IS ONLY 70%, 70, 70%. COULDN'T READ THAT. AND SO THAT MARGIN RIGHT THERE WOULD BE AN AREA THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO FOCUS ON. SO THEN THE FLIP QUESTION IS, WELL, WHERE CAN WE PULL RESOURCES FROM? THERE'S ALWAYS A TRADE OFF. WE HAVE TO GO TAKE FROM SOMETHING IN ORDER TO GIVE TO ANOTHER THING. AND SO IF I WAS TO EVER SEE QUALITY ABOVE WHAT THE IMPORTANCE IS TO THE RESIDENTS, THEN THAT'S AN AREA THAT MAYBE I COULD FOCUS AND TAKE RESOURCES AWAY FROM. SO WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS GRAPH, AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IS HEALTH AND WELLNESS, YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS. YOUR RESIDENTS RATE THAT AT 77%, WHICH IS FANTASTIC THAT THE QUALITY IS AT 77%, BUT THE IMPORTANCE IS ONLY AT 69%.SO THERE'S A LITTLE GAP THERE. THAT GAP MIGHT BE SOMEWHERE YOU COULD PULL ALLOWS OR KIND OF GIVES US AN IDEA OF WHERE WE COULD PULL RESOURCES FROM IN ORDER TO HELP OUT THE UTILITIES OR THE MOBILITY AREAS. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS IN MORE GRANULARITY. I WENT TO HIGH LEVEL THE TEN DIFFERENT FACETS. LET'S GET MORE SPECIFIC AND TALK ABOUT ALL THE QUESTIONS WITHIN THOSE 1010 DIFFERENT FACETS. AND OF THOSE, THERE'S 123 DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THAT WE ASK WITHIN THERE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT MOST OF THEM ARE SIMILAR RELATIVE TO THE NATION. YOU HAVE 13 THAT RECEIVED HIGHER AND THREE THAT RECEIVED LOWER, THREE THAT RECEIVED LOWER. THAT'S REALLY GOOD. MOST COMMUNITIES I AM PRESENTING IN FRONT OF HAVE AT LEAST DOUBLE, PROBABLY TRIPLE, PROBABLY EVEN MORE THAN THAT. LIKE THERE'S 123. SO WHAT 1% IS 1.2 QUESTIONS YOU'RE AT. THREE OF THEM RECEIVED LOWER RATINGS. SO 2% OF THE OVERALL QUESTIONS. THAT'S A REALLY GOOD JOB. YOU SHOULD GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK. REALLY. EVERYONE SHOULD BECAUSE MOST COMMUNITIES SEE A LOT WORSE THAN THIS. AND YOU HAVE 13 THAT RECEIVED HIGHER RATINGS. WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE THREE THAT RECEIVE LOWER RATINGS IN A LITTLE BIT. IF I COMPARE YOU TO THE 2023 SURVEY, THOUGH, SO THIS IS JUST COMPARING YOURSELF TO YOURSELF. TWO YEARS AGO, THIS IS WHERE WE DO SEE SOME TRENDS THAT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE AT LEAST AWARE OF AND THINKING HOW IS IT THAT I CAN ACTUALLY STOP THIS DECLINE? ONE PAUSE HERE, THOUGH, AND ONE NOT RELIEF. AND IT'S NOT A REASON WE SHOULDN'T BE CONCERNED BECAUSE WE SHOULD. BUT WE ARE SEEING THIS TREND NATIONALLY. WE ARE SEEING RELATIVE TO HOW WE WERE DOING IN THE PAST. MOST RESIDENTS ARE RATING THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THEIR NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS LOWER. AND SO THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE TREND WE'RE SEEING IN THE NATION. AND YOU'RE ALSO SEEING IT HERE IN MCKINNEY 28 RECEIVING LOWER RANKINGS. THAT'S RELATIVE TO 2023. AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THIS ONE RELATIVE TO THE NATION. YOU'RE DOING GREAT RELATIVE TO YOURSELVES. TWO YEARS AGO WE COULD MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. SO I'M GOING TO GET INTO FIVE KEY FINDINGS THAT WE FIND FROM IT. AGAIN, MUCH MORE INFORMATION IN THE TABLEAU REPORT THAT I'M HAPPY TO WALK YOU ALL THROUGH. OR LILY IS HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH. AND SO AM I, COCO, IN CASE YOU WANT ME TO. SO THE FIRST ONE MANY MCKINNEY RESIDENTS VALUE GOVERNMENT EFFORTS, BUT TRENDS POINT TO ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. AND SO WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? THEY VALUE HOW YOU'RE DOING. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT HOW THEY'RE RATING YOU OVERALL, THE PERCENT THAT RATED YOU EXCELLENT ARE GOOD. AND BEING HONEST WAS OVER
[00:15:04]
HALF AND TREATING ALL RESIDENTS FAIRLY. WITH SIX OUT OF TEN AND BEING OPEN AND TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC WAS RIGHT AT HALF. ALL OF THESE ARE ON PAR WITH THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK. THAT TREND LINE THAT IS DECREASING IS JUST WHAT WE HAD SEEN IN THE EARLIER SLIDE THAT SHOWED RELATIVE TO YOURSELF TWO YEARS AGO, WE ARE SEEING A DECREASE. IN ORDER TO SEE A DECREASE IN TIME TREND, WE SPECIFY THAT IT HAS TO BE EIGHT PERCENTAGE POINTS LESS. AND SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU'RE BEING OPEN AND TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC. WE'RE SEEING A DECLINE IN THAT. SO IT WAS AT 59% OR HIGHER IN THE PRIOR SURVEY YEAR THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW, THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK, SINCE I HAVEN'T HIT THAT IN ORDER TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK, IT WOULD NEED TO BE TEN PERCENTAGE POINTS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS. I TOLD YOU THAT THE NATION WAS ACTUALLY SEEING A DECLINE. THIS IS JUST GIVING YOU SOME CONFIDENCE IN THAT STATEMENT THAT I MADE. YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT IN COVID YEAR, IN 2020, GENERALLY ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY. THE COMMON RATING OF EXCELLENT OR GOOD WAS AROUND A 60%, JUST A LITTLE BELOW 60% OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THAT'S NOW FALLEN DOWN TO ALMOST 45%. AND IF I LOOK AT OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THE IN THE GOVERNMENT, SAME IDEA WHERE IT'S JUST ABOVE 55% AND IS NOW ALMOST AT 40% ON HOW PEOPLE RANK OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT. EXCELLENT OR GOOD? KEY FINDING NUMBER TWO RESIDENTS EXPRESS STRONG SATISFACTION WITH BOTH THEIR SENSE OF SAFETY AND THE QUALITY OF SERVICES. SO TO GET MORE GRANULAR ON THIS, THESE QUESTIONS HIT ON SAFETY AND MCKINNEY. SO THIS IS WHAT YOUR FIRE, YOUR EMS, YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT RESIDENTS FEEL SAFE. THEY ARE VERY OR SOMEWHAT SAFE FROM VIOLENT CRIME, PROPERTY CRIME IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DURING THE DAY. THESE RATINGS ARE REALLY HIGH.THEY ARE ON PAR WITH THE BENCHMARKS. ALSO, YOU'RE NOT SEEING ANY DECLINE OR INCREASE FROM HOW YOU WERE DOING IN 2023. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE GRANULARITY ON IT, IF I LOOK AT THOSE DEPARTMENTS SPECIFICALLY OR THOSE SERVICES SPECIFICALLY SEEING THE SAME SIMILAR TREND, HIGH RANKING SIMILAR TO THE BENCHMARK, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD TAKE PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY ABOVE THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK IN THIS LAST AREA OF CRIME PREVENTION, WHERE 85% ARE FEELING EXCELLENT OR GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO CRIME PREVENTION, THE THIRD KEY FINDING SEVERAL SEVERAL RATINGS RELATED TO ECONOMIC HEALTH EXCEED THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK. AND SO TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL HERE, THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE REALLY SHOWING HOW MUCH BETTER YOU'RE DOING THAN THE NATION IN SOME OF THESE AREAS. SO EVERY ONE OF THESE DARK GREEN BARS IS ABOVE THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK. SO YOUR VIBRANCY OF YOUR DOWNTOWN AND COMMERCIAL AREA, YOUR SHOPPING OPPORTUNITIES, YOUR VARIETY OF BUSINESS AND SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS, AND THOSE OTHER TWO ARE ALL TEN PERCENTAGE POINTS OR GREATER THAN THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK, MEANING THE VARIETY OF BUSINESS AND SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS. THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK IS 64 OR LESS BECAUSE WE'VE COLOR CODED THIS. SO YOU HAVE YOU'VE DONE REALLY GOOD.
THE ONLY ONE THAT WE SEE AN AREA OF OPPORTUNITY IS THAT THIRD TO LAST ONE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. AND IT'S NOT AN AREA OF OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE WORSE THAN THE NATION. YOU'VE DONE ON PAR WITH THE NATION. IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF RELATIVE TO YOURSELF TWO YEARS AGO. HERE, WE'RE PULLING SOME TREND LINES. SO YOU CAN SEE FROM A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE WHAT HAS HAPPENED WHEN IT COMES TO COST OF LIVING AND AFFORDABLE QUALITY OF HOUSING, CHILD CARE AND FOOD.
AND YOU SEE A VERY SIMILAR TREND IN EVERY ONE OF THESE. IN 2020, WE KIND OF PEAKED AND WE STARTED THIS SLOW DECLINE. WE'VE SEEN ABOUT A TEN PERCENTAGE POINT DECREASE IN EVERY ONE OF THESE OVER TIME OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS. IT'S PROBABLY NOT TOO MUCH OF A SURPRISE, AS PEOPLE ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT COSTS OF LIVING WITH INFLATION HAVING BEEN WHAT IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. LUCKILY, IT'S LOOKING DECENT NOW WITH THAT, WITH OVERALL LIKE THE TARIFF SCARE THAT WE'VE HAD RECENTLY, JUST JUST DIFFERENT FEARS GOING ON AND IT'S CAUSED THIS DECLINE IN CONFIDENCE AND AFFORDABILITY OF STUFF. THE FOURTH KEY FINDING RESIDENTS HIGHLY VALUE MCKINNEY'S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THAT'S PROBABLY NO SURPRISE TO YOU ALL. YOU HAVE A GREAT DOWNTOWN, YOU HAVE A GREAT NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, AND THE RESIDENTS APPRECIATE THAT. YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT YOU'RE ON PAR WITH THE NATION WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE TOP FOUR. THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE THAT YOU WERE BELOW PAR WITH THE NATION, AND THAT YOUR RESIDENTS, ONLY 45% RATED EXCELLENT OR GOOD. THE WATER RESOURCES. SO THIS IS BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. AND THIS IS SHOWING A DECREASE TEN PERCENTAGE POINTS AND EIGHT PERCENTAGE POINTS. IN CASE YOU DIDN'T REMEMBER. AND THE FIFTH AND FINAL, ONE OF THE KEY FINDINGS I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT
[00:20:05]
ARE THE MOBILITY RATINGS ALIGN WITH THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK, BUT HAVE DECLINED COMPARED TO 2023.AND SO THIS NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU THAT, AGAIN, ON PAR WITH THE NATION WHEN IT COMES TO EASE OF TRAVEL BY CAR, WALKING, PARKING, STREETS BELOW NATIONAL AVERAGE, WHEN IT BECOMES WHEN IT'S THE EASE OF TRAVEL BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THAT'S THE SECOND ONE. SO THE ONE WAS WATER RESOURCES. THE SECOND ONE WAS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THE THIRD ONE WE DON'T HAVE ON A SLIDE, BUT IT'S EASE OF TRAVEL BY BUS OR OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES. AND SO VERY THOSE TWO ARE KIND OF RELATED. IT MAKES SENSE THAT IF SOMEONE'S GOING TO BE DINGED IN ONE, THEY'RE PROBABLY GETTING DINGED IN BOTH. YOU CAN SEE THE SLIGHT DECLINE SINCE THE DECLINE SINCE 2023. THIS IS COMMON OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING AMONG THE NATION BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL WITHIN NATIONAL BENCHMARK STANDARDS. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE GRANULARITY ON THIS, YOU CAN SEE THAT TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, STREET CLEANING, ALL OF THESE, THESE FIRST FIVE ARE ON PAR WITH THE NATION NOT DECLINING OR INCREASING RELATIVE TO 2023, EXCEPT FOR THAT LAST ONE WHEN YOUR STREET REPAIR HAS GOTTEN SLIGHTLY WORSE MARKS FROM YOUR RESIDENTS. YOU'VE ALSO HAD TWO. WELL, YOU HAD A FEW DIFFERENT ONES. WE'VE PULLED OUT TWO OF THE CUSTOM QUESTIONS THAT YOU WANTED US TO ASK YOUR RESIDENTS ABOUT. AND THIS FIRST ONE IS JUST TO INDICATE THE SOURCE THAT YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM ABOUT CITY INFORMATION. AND SO THE NEXT SLIDE JUST SHOWS YOU WE PICKED OUT THE FOUR BIGGEST ONES. THE GREEN IS SHOWING THAT IT'S NOT REALLY A SOURCE THAT THEY USE.
SO WHEREVER THE SMALLEST GREEN IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST SOURCE. AGAIN THESE ARE THE FOUR BIGGEST ONES OUT OF THAT LIST. YOU SAW EARLIER, CITY COMMUNICATIONS VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER AND WORD OF MOUTH. IT'S ABOUT 25% THAT DON'T FIND IT USEFUL, BUT 75% DO. AND THEN THAT SECOND ONE CITY WEBSITE, ALMOST EVERYONE FINDS THAT PRETTY USEFUL AND IS WHERE THEY GO TO GET THEIR INFORMATION. THE SECOND QUESTION THAT WE ASKED IS ABOUT INDICATING HOW MUCH OF A PRIORITY YOUR RESIDENTS WANT YOU TO FOCUS ON THESE SPECIFIC AREAS. WE'VE LISTED ON THIS, AND YOU CAN SEE ART CENTERS ON THEIR NEW EXPANDED RECREATION CENTER, MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSES ON THERE. THESE ARE THE THREE THAT THEY RATED AS THE HIGHEST WHERE THEY WANT MOST OF THE RESOURCES PUT TOWARDS. AGAIN, GREEN IS SHOWING THAT'S NOT A PRIORITY. SO ANYTHING WITH THE SMALLEST GREEN WILL BE THE ONE THAT IS THE BIGGEST PRIORITY. AND SO CREATING PRESERVING OPEN LANDS IS A PRIORITY TO 93% OF YOUR RESIDENTS. RETAIL, RESTAURANT AND ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS IS ALSO A PRIORITY TO 88% OF YOUR RESIDENTS. SO WE HAVE THOSE TWO THAT I PULLED OUT. AND THEN THE SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS ARE THE FIVE KEY FINDINGS THAT I JUST GAVE YOU THAT ARE LISTED HERE. AGAIN, I'VE SAID IT A FEW TIMES. I WANT TO MAKE SURE AND REALLY DRIVE THIS HOME. YOU'RE DOING GREAT. YOU'RE DOING GREAT RELATIVE TO THE NATION. YOU'RE DOING GREAT OVERALL. FROM HOW YOUR RESIDENTS FEEL, WE ARE SEEING DECLINES RELATIVE TO 2023. THAT IS ON PAR AND COMMON WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE NATION. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WHEN WERE THE RESULTS COLLECTED? SURVEYS WERE TAKEN WHEN. SO THE SURVEY WENT FROM JANUARY TO MARCH. BOOM. THERE IT IS, JANUARY 30TH 1ST TO MARCH 5TH. SO DURING A VOLATILE ELECTION SEASON, THERE'S A LITTLE VOLATILE THEN I WOULD IMAGINE THAT PLAYS A ROLE AS WELL. DEFINITELY, YES. AND WE'VE ALSO SEEN MORE DIFFERENCES IN TEXAS AND FLORIDA THAN WE HAVE IN MOST OF THE OTHER STATES. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GUYS DO A THOROUGH JOB. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND BEST OF LUCK AND CONGRATULATIONS, MAYOR FULLER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. NO ONE HAS SIGNED UP FOR CITIZEN
