13. Meet Jose.
He has lived in Kansas City for years,
has two kids, and a full time job.
He would give his City government
feedback if asked, but he doesn’t have
time to write an email, call, or visit with
his council member.
*Jose is a stock image and is probably not a KCMO Resident

14. Meet Jordan.
He is a somewhat quiet sophomore at
UMKC studying computer science. He
has no idea how to give feedback to
the Mayor or his Council Person.
He isn’t comfortable calling, and he
isn’t sure how to structure his
thoughts anyway.
*Jordan is a stock image and is probably not a KCMO Resident

15. Without a
statistically valid
tool to collect
feedback, their
voices go unheard.

16. Then, Jose received the
Resident Survey in the
mail
He gave his feedback on a variety of city
services from the comfort of his couch.
His feedback was then incorporated
into measuring the City’s Performance.
It even made in appearance in KCStat!
*Jose is still a stock image and is sstill probably not a KCMO Resident

20. 2.Citizen Survey Example
➔ Dangerous Building Demolition
Residents said that this was their
highest priority for neighborhoods, so
the City prioritized it and took out a
$10M bond to speed it up.
➔ Infrastructure Improvements
The survey has always shown that
infrastructure is the #1 area of
emphasis for residents. The City
offered an $800M bond package for
infrastructure. It was overwhelmingly
approved of by residents.
