City of San Jose Budget Prioritization Survey
The City of San Jose has contracted with a public opinion survey company to poll residents on the city’s budget in a project known as “The City of San Jose Budget Prioritization Survey.” The control group of the survey is 900 residents representing the entire City. They will be contacted by phone and interviewed.
In the end, the survey company will try to ensure that the demographic breakdown of survey respondents mirrors the demographics of San Jose , with a certain margin for error. This data will be shared 9AM, February 16, at a study session for the City Council. This will give the Council scientific polling data on budget priorities from San Jose residents. In addition to the phone survey we will be holding a Neighborhood Association/Youth Commission Priority Session this Saturday at 10am at City Hall in room 119 to discuss the budget deficit. Both meetings are public.
Since you may be one of the 1,006,000 residents who will not be getting a call, I wanted to share some of the questions via a web survey with you here. The survey closes Feb 5th. I will then share the results on
SanJoseInside.com on Feb 8.
