Downtown Safety Survey 2017
Dear McMinnville downtown business owner or resident -
In September 2017, the McMinnville City Council appointed a Downtown Safety Task Force (DSTF) in recognition of a growing concern for safety downtown. The DSTF has met twice and reviewed the comments provided at the July 11th & 25th City Council meetings and will be meeting over the next several months. Their task is to formulate short term and long term recommendations to address negative behaviors in our downtown. The DSTF will submit recommendations to the City Council by March 2018.
We need your help. The DSTF has identified the summer of 2017 as a time of increased negative behaviors in our downtown. As a result, we are conducting a survey of downtown business owners and residents for baseline condition data from that timeframe. We intend to resurvey in the future to ensure adopted solutions are making a difference and improving conditions downtown. Please note, we are using the downtown economic improvement district boundary along with nearby surrounding neighborhoods as the boundary for survey participants, you can find a map at the link below.
You have been identified as one of those stakeholders and we have prepared a survey with 18 short, multiple choice questions and one open ended question. The survey is designed to take just a few minutes of your time. Please complete the survey by Monday, December 18, 2017 @ noon. Please click here to access the survey.
In addition, we invite you to review our web page at www.mcminnvilleoregon.gov/DSTF which has information about the task force, our meetings, maps and additional background information. We will post the survey results on that web page as well.
Thank you for your help! Please let either one of us, or one of the DSTF members know if you have any questions.
