Bellevue committee: surveys yield few responses; members push for in-person outreach and incentives
Summary
Committee members reported only 28 completed responses to a recent survey and discussed accessibility problems with the QR link, recommending paper surveys, tabling at events, school-based efforts and small financial incentives to boost participation.
Staff reported survey response problems — "we only had 28 responses, completed" — and asked for ideas to increase participation. Members described technical issues with the survey link, low completion of Spanish-language starts and recommended paper copies at events and tabling at local businesses like Atkinson's.
Several options were proposed to raise rates: offering modest incentives (restaurant vouchers, $25 coupons), using school-based competitions to involve parents, and conducting targeted focus groups. "If we get 10 responses a month in Spanish, that would be a 100% increase," S4 said while urging multiple outreach channels rather than relying solely on online forms.
The group agreed staff will compile demographic data and other county surveys to cross‑reference results and to present a plan for pilot outreach tactics for committee approval.
