Committee keeps EngleFix outreach as a priority, staff to add user survey and neighborhood outreach
Summary
Committee members praised neighborhood-night outreach and asked staff to measure and promote use of the city’s reporting tool (referred to in transcript as EngleFix); staff said a post-case survey and internal routing improvements are forthcoming.
Committee members and staff discussed community outreach for the city’s reporting tool (appearing in the transcript as several variants of the name) and agreed to make education and measurement of the tool’s usage a continuing committee goal.
Members reported neighborhood nights drew people and that many residents remain unaware of the tool. One member said people “see it as a really useful vehicle,” encouraging more promotion.
Staff said the city is working on internal routing improvements, monthly coordination with IT, and plans to send a post-case survey when a reported case closes. “We actually have a survey that will email out to the person” after case closure, the Supervisor said, and staff will try to share baseline results with the committee.
The committee suggested a short questionnaire for neighborhood nights to capture user experience and acceptance. Staff said they can also survey registered users of EngleFix and will bring a report back when data are available.
Why it matters: The reporting tool is a primary channel for residents to notify the city about grass-and-weeds, trash, trees and other maintenance issues; better awareness and feedback could shorten response times and improve resident trust in city services.
Next steps: staff will coordinate with IT to produce usage metrics and the committee will draft a short public questionnaire for neighborhood outreach; a staff report on survey results and usage statistics is expected at a future meeting.
