As a part of the City’s strategic planning initiative all households within the city limits of Can-
non Beach will be receiving The National Citizen Survey (NCS). You already should have received
a post card informing you that your household will be receiving the survey. The first survey
packet was mailed earlier this week and next week you will receive a reminder packet in case you
have not already returned the completed survey.
The NCS is a nationally acclaimed community livability assessment tool. It was developed by
experts to produce clear, unbiased and accurate results. Although many questions are appli-
cable to all cities you will notice that there are also questions specific to our community.
The NCS will assist council and staff in prioritizing city services that citizens feel are most
important. Rarely do we hear from more than a handful of residents on any given topic, the NCS
will be your opportunity to have your voice heard. You will have the option of completing the
survey either online or in a paper format.
Please remember that your response is completely anonymous. We look forward to hearing
from you!
QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY ASKED BY RESIDENTS
• How did you get my address?
Your address was sampled at random from
a list of all addresses from the post office.
This is a standard service offered by the post
office. It is not a city government file and no
household member is named in the file.
• I live outside of the jurisdiction for which
this survey was meant. What should I do?
Please complete the survey. Even though
you live outside the boundaries, you may
use our services or participate in community
activities and we want your opinions.
• I received your survey, and while I own
the property that it was sent to, I don’t
live there. What should I do?
The resident of the property should com-
plete the survey.
• What is the purpose of requesting the
person who most recently had a birthday
complete the survey?
We have randomly selected households
within our jurisdiction to receive the survey.
in the letter creates the most representative
sample of our jurisdiction. You’ll be sur-
prised at how much you can contribute.
• I doubt that you are interested in my opin-
ion. Should I really complete the survey?
Yes, the government is here to serve all
residents, and it is important to us that we
get feedback from a complete cross-section
of our residents.
• If I filled out the survey when I first re-
ceived it, should I fill it out again now that
I have received a second copy?
No, please don’t fill it out again. Because
responses are anonymous, we don’t know
who already completed a survey. Since we
only want one response from each person,
those who already sent in a survey should
not return another one. The second copy
is distributed as a reminder to all people
selected to be sent a survey. Thank you for
completing the first survey.
• We would also like to choose in an unbiased
way a person within each household to
complete the survey. This way we ensure the
results are representative of our community
as a whole. While it may seem a bit strange,
using the “birthday method” is a simple way
to select an adult from within each house-
hold without permitting bias in our results.
• I was not sent a survey, but I would be
happy to complete one, and I think you
should be interested in my opinion.
The sample was designed to be as repre-
sentative as possible of the population of
our city, so by sending copies of the survey
to people who request a copy, we would
skew the sample and make the results less
meaningful.
• I am the person in my household who
most recently had a birthday, but I am not
very informed about the issues covered
in the survey. Can I give the survey to
someone else in my household who is
more informed?
We would prefer that you complete the
survey. The “birthday method” described
• Why is “Hispanic” separate from “Race”?
We want to compare the demographic pro-
file of those responding to the demographic
profile of the municipality as presented by
the Census. In order to be able to do this we
asked our race and ethnicity question the
same way the Census does. The census des-
ignates Hispanic as an ethnicity, not a race.
