Commission debates survey questions and data segregation before finalizing community survey

Crawford County Commission · October 25, 2024

Summary

Commissioners reviewed a draft community survey, raised concerns about personal questions and whether responses would be identifiable; staff said responses can be segregated by geography and agreed to confirm whether individual responses would be viewable before final approval.

Staff distributed a draft community survey and commissioners discussed content and privacy concerns. One commissioner said certain demographic questions felt intrusive; another asked whether responses would be tied to addresses or remain anonymous. Staff replied the survey can segregate responses by area and that the draft is associated with addresses so county staff could know that a response came from a given address, but commissioners asked for clarification and privacy assurances before final approval.

Commissioners asked staff to verify whether survey submissions can be aggregated and segregated by area without exposing individual responses and to return with answers so the commission can finalize the survey at the next meeting or work session.
