PRESENTER(S):   Suzanne Silverthorn, Communications Director and Chris Cares, RRC Associates

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   Review the top-level results of the Community Survey as presented by Chris Cares of RRC Associates, ask questions and determine if other discussions are of interest as additional follow up.

BACKGROUND:   The Town of Vail Community Survey is a key measurement used by the Town Council and staff to probe public policy issues and solicit feedback on other topics of community interest. It is also used to measure the town's operational performance. Conducted every other year, the 2020 survey was fielded in mid-March with responses collected through April 19. The purpose of today’s session is to provide a high-level overview of the survey results, which included series of COVID-19 questions that were added to increase the relevancy of the survey. A narrative overview is provided containing benchmark comparisons as well as preferences and themes related to community priorities.
