The survey was constructed by the City’s Community Outreach team as part <br />of the City’s ongoing Community Justice Initiative work. The survey went “live” on 7/27/18 and closed on <br />9/10/18. The online survey was designed using Strategy Research Institute’s (SRI) Benchmark scientific survey <br />as a template. SRI’s Benchmark survey was administered to high propensity voters in the City of Eugene in July <br />2018. <br />One of the primary differences with the online survey was the inclusion of three questions that asked <br />respondents for qualitative feedback. The qualitative data in this report was analyzed using Taylor-Powell and <br />Renner’s (2003) five step process that included a content analysis. The online survey was available in Spanish, <br />whereas the scientific Benchmark survey was English only. There were ten responses to the Spanish survey, <br />and half of those respondents indicated they lived outside of Eugene. <br /> This analysis includes the English language online survey data through 9/10/18, both quantitative and <br />qualitative. The analysis includes the Spanish language qualitative data but not the Spanish quantitative data <br />because of the extremely small sample size. It is important to note the online survey was nonscientific—that is, <br />respondents volunteered to participate, therefore the sample is not randomly selected and the results are not <br />generalizable to the larger population of likely Eugene voters. That said, the online survey provided additional <br />and important qualitative data that the scientific Benchmark survey did not. In this way, the online survey <br />supplemented the Benchmark survey in a meaningful way. <br />September 26, 2018, Work Session – Item 1 <br />ATTACHMENT B
