<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In August 2016, the City of Ramsey issued its second <br /> <br />biannual Citizen Survey, gathering input from its residents <br /> <br />on various City services, parks and trails, roads and <br /> <br />infrastructures, organizational direction, community <br /> <br />events, property development, and much more. The <br /> <br />purpose of this survey was to provide feedback for City <br /> <br />policy makers to consider as they prioritize the use of <br /> <br />limited resources to meet the needs of Ramsey residents <br /> <br />and businesses. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Citizen Survey captured the opinions of a <br /> <br />representative sample of 462 randomly selected Ramsey <br /> <br />residents. The results offer a report on the “livability” of <br /> <br />the City of Ramsey, by focusing on three pillars of <br /> <br />community (Community Characteristics, Governance, and <br /> <br />Participation) across eight central facets of community <br /> <br />(Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, <br /> <br />Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and <br /> <br />Enrichment, and Community Engagement). The phrase <br /> <br />“livable community” is used here to describe a place that <br /> <br />is not only where people do live, but where they want to <br /> <br />live. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Participants in this survey remained anonymous and the <br /> <br />results are displayed collectively. The margin of error <br /> <br />around any reported percentage is ±5% for the entire <br /> <br />sample. These survey results will be utilized by the City to <br /> <br />evaluate its organizational effectiveness and to implement <br /> <br />smart, citizen-focused government by addressing the <br /> <br />needs identified. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Quality of Life in Ramsey <br /> <br /> <br />Community Characteristics <br /> <br /> <br />Governance <br /> <br /> <br />Participation <br /> <br /> <br />Conclusions <br /> <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Ramsey Resident • November/December 20169 <br />
