City of � RAMSE Ramsey Citizen Survey 2014 Results In August, 2014, the City of Ramsey issued its first ever Resident Survey, gathering input from its citi- zens on various City services, parks and trails, roads and infrastructures, organizational direction, community events, property development and much more. The purpose of this survey was to provide feedback for City policy makers to consider as they prioritize the use of limited resources to meet the needs of Ramsey residents and businesses. About The Citizen Survey The Citizen Survey captured the opinions of a representative sample of 430 randomly selected Ramsey residents. The results offer a report on the "livability" of the City of Ramsey, by focusing on three pillars of a community (Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Rec- reation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement). The phrase "livable community" is used here to describe a place that is not only where people do live, but where they want to live. Participants in this survey remained anonymous and the results are displayed collectively. The margin of error around any reported percentage is ±5% for the entire sample. These survey results will be utilized by the City to evaluate its organizational effectiveness and to implement smart, citizen - focused government by addressing the needs identified.
