Escambia County Commission Conducting Citizen Survey

December 6, 2008

If you would like the Escambia County Commissioners to know how you feel about programs and services in Escambia County, this is your opportunity to be heard. The Listener Group is conducting the second annual county-wide telephone survey for the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners. The survey begins this week and will continue over the next several weeks.

“The Escambia County community survey is a constructive way for citizens to put in their ‘two-cents’ regarding issues of services received and quality of life in Escambia County. They only need to be willing to take the survey,” said Jeff Williams, product development and support manager of The Listener Group.

To ensure data is collected from a cross section of each commission district, The Listener Group will randomize the five districts’ telephone lists which each average 18,525 records each. The marketing company will systematically call the list until they have gathered 100 completed surveys in each commission district. Due to the large number of records in each district, the 500 necessary surveys will most likely be collected without having to dial a citizen’s number more than once.

“If you receive a call from The Listener Group, please make every effort to complete the survey at that time. It takes approximately ten minutes and may be your only opportunity,” added Williams.

Once the surveys are complete and data analyzed, The Listener Group will provide the results to the county. The county will publish the results and begin developing action plans in the areas needing improvement. Last year’s survey scores will be used as a baseline for comparison with this year’s results and are available online at www.myescambia.com.
