Cypress council forms two-member ad hoc panel to craft 2025 community survey
Summary
The council appointed Mayor Burke and Councilmember Kyle Chang to a temporary ad hoc subcommittee that will work with staff and a survey firm to draft questions for the 2025 community survey; the motion passed unanimously.
The Cypress City Council unanimously established a two-member ad hoc subcommittee to help develop questions for the city—s 2025 community survey and appointed Mayor Burke and Councilmember Kyle Chang to serve on the panel.
City staff described the subcommittee—s role as temporary: two council members will work with staff and the city—s survey vendor to shape the questionnaire and recommend topics. The council has conducted similar surveys in 2018 and 2022.
Why it matters: A statistically reliable community survey provides the council with resident feedback on municipal services and helps inform policy priorities and resource allocation.
Councilmember Bonnie Pete nominated Mayor Burke and Councilmember Kyle Chang for the subcommittee, noting Chang—s background in statistics and program evaluation. Councilmember Kyle Chang said, "Yes, I'm a statistician, and I have done quite a few program evaluation..." and agreed to serve.
The council voted on the motion as presented and it passed unanimously. City staff said the results of the survey will be reported back to the City Council and used to inform the strategic plan update and service evaluations.
Implementation notes: The subcommittee is temporary and will meet with the city—s survey firm to develop draft questions. The results will be returned to the full council when the survey is complete.
Decision: Appoint Mayor Burke and Councilmember Kyle Chang to the ad hoc subcommittee on the 2025 community survey (motion carried unanimously).
