Resident outreach began at Night to Unite,which was chosen because <br /> participants in neighborhood watch parties had already expressed an interest in their neighbors and <br /> neighborhoods and our watch parties had a strong representation throughout nearly every neighborhood <br /> in the community. Social media and website mediums were purposely avoided for our representative pool <br /> recruitment to ensure participants were Elk River residents. <br /> Thus far, two short surveys have been completed. The first was a demographic survey to see how close <br /> our participant pool represents our population. The second survey asked question regarding their <br /> downtown Elk River experiences. <br /> This discussion is intended to discuss the survey results,identify policy areas the council would like to <br /> seek survey and get council feedback on the engagement program itself. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ ERA Participant Map <br /> ■ Survey Results <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
