Summary

A commissioner moved to add a statement asking respondents to rate agreement with 'the city fosters a culture of belonging' to the ETC community survey; commissioners debated phrasing and agreed to use wording consistent with the city website.

A commissioner moved to add a statement under an ETC community-survey item to capture respondents' level of agreement with the statement "the city fosters a culture of belonging." The commissioner framed the change as a concise insertion under an existing question rather than a whole new section so the survey would remain short.

Members discussed phrasing and recommended matching the city's existing wording for continuity. One commissioner said: "The statement being the city fosters a culture of belonging," and others agreed that using the language already on the city website would avoid confusion. Staff indicated that if commissioners wished to add a new full section, that would be a heavier decision, but adding one line under an existing question was feasible.
