RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the FlashVote ad hoc committee provide an update on the status of a potential FlashVote survey from the Commission to the public
Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
During the past several months, the Commission has been anxious to receive feedback from the public on what to narrow their goals around. At the February 24, 2025, Commission on Equity and Public Safety meeting, commissioners heard a presentation from FlashVote CEO, Kevin Lyons. Kevin indicated that the City can create and send a survey to the public once per month. Kevin also indicated that he would help create efficient questions that could yield meaningful responses.
At the March 17, 2025, meeting, commissioners voted to create an ad hoc committee intended to work with Kevin with the goal of creating a survey. The ad hoc committee consists of Commissioners Cansino, Harrison, and Yee. After several meetings with Kevin during the following weeks as well as check-ins and updates from the commission, the survey was sent to registered FlashVote subscribers on Thursday, June 12 at 11:08 am and scheduled to conclude on Saturday, June 14 at 11:00 am. The final questions that were included in the survey are as follows:
Considering the survey will conclude during the weekend, it is not clear if we will have access to survey results by the start of the June 16 meeting. If results are not attained, we will agendize discussion of those results at the following commission meeting.
