Update to Falls Area Residents on Results of Incorporation Survey
November 20, 2017
Dear Residents,
As
you likely are aware, a group of District 8 constituents asked me to
continue consideration of the possible incorporation of parts of Kendall
and the Falls area, which had begun over ten years ago, before I came
to office.
My first and foremost priority was
to engage residents in order to assess their interests and opinions
regarding incorporation. I wanted objective and clear data on which to
base my decision. To achieve the best possible input, I set three
important parameters.
- Qualitative assessment: My office hosted an open forum on this issue to receive feedback from the residents that would be affected by a potential incorporation. We also received dozens of emails and held numerous meetings with residents, both those opposing and supporting incorporation, as well as those seeking more information.
- Quantitative assessment: I also determined that we needed substantial quantitative data to better determine community preference, so I worked with an independent, volunteer expert to successfully survey the community.
- Open and transparent process: From the beginning of my consideration on the issue, I have provided full and straightforward information to the residents about the process I am using and the data I am collecting. I have sent informational emails, posted on social media and on my website, and placed ads in neighborhood newspapers.
Sincerely,
Daniella
